Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Chapter 92: (Vanguard Defeated)

In the middle of July of the third year of Tianzhu, Hebei once again came to the shocking news, Chai Shang was attacked by Li Yanqing and Yuan Tian and Yuan Rui in Baoding, with heavy casualties, and the loss of 100,000 troops left less than 30,000 people evacuated from Baoding in a hurry. It's an opponent who doesn't let people take it seriously...

Chai Shang was defeated, Yuan Huan of Jizhou City had to let Ouyang Qing, the pioneer of the second road, return to Zhuangzhou, after all, Baoding is Zhuangzhou, as long as Zhuangzhou is guarded, Li Yanqing's army from Baoding will be blocked on the front line of Zhuangzhou, if they go over the mountains and mountains to make a detour, it will only increase the marching time too much, and the food can not keep up, and a large number of sentry agents have been planted throughout Hebei, hundreds of thousands of people will be known to the other party as long as there is a wind and grass, so it is so sneak attack, it is better to take the official road and fight with the other party openly...

In the city of Zhuangzhou

After the military horses of Ouyang Qing's headquarters were almost expanded, in addition to the 30,000 Shangguan Yin Feng's henchmen led by Deng Yu and handed over to Ouyang Qing, there were 120,000 horses, which can be described as strong soldiers and horses, and there was still grain and grass in Zhuangzhou City that could last him for four months, which was enough to resist Li Yanqing's army here...

"Yuan Huan's behavior is shameless, it can be described as hateful..."Ouyang Qing scolded loudly, he was very dissatisfied that Yuan Huan did not rescue Chai Shang, after all, they were all officials of the same dynasty, even if they didn't like it, they couldn't joke with Jiangshan Sheji...

However, not everyone knows the general situation like Ouyang Qing, and the big husband can bend and stretch, so He Ying can be crowned king, however, those old ministers and veterans of Changsha are very disdainful of the original He Jing's people who surrendered, thinking that they have no real materials, it can really be described as short-sighted, no wonder Chai Shang will be defeated, Yuan Huan hugged the forty-five major army and stayed in Jizhou City without retreating, you can see that Yuan Huan himself is also a narrow-minded person...

"Junhou, I would have been able to understand your feelings, but, according to this, the situation of the King of Xingyang and the Junhou is not much better, rather than being constrained by it, it is better to stay away from the land of right and wrong, just like my lord..."

"What General Deng said is reasonable, a certain rudeness, but what can we do in Zhuangzhou now?" Although Ouyang Qing is the Marquis of Jizhou and has the body of a marquis, but compared to Deng Yu in front of Deng Yu, in fact, he is not much higher than Deng Yu in private, Deng Yu was arranged by Shangguan Yin Feng to supervise the army, Ouyang Qing naturally belonged to Deng Yu's command, to put it mildly, without Shangguan Yin Feng, there would be no Ouyang Qing's comeback today, and he would not be able to keep the marquis, and once again had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so Ouyang Qing was actually very respectful to Deng Yu, and whenever he fought a small war, he had to discuss with Deng Yu...

"The city of Zhuangzhou is large and strong, and the lord sent a letter and said that I should hold on to one place, and I can't get out, and I think it's the current situation..."Deng Yu got an order from Shangguan Yin Feng a few months ago, and there are eight words on it, 'Stick to one place, consume but not come out', to put it bluntly, it is to let Deng Yu and Ouyang Qing preserve their strength...

"It's a pity that a certain person has only one ambition and failed to defend his family and country..."

Seeing that what Ouyang Qing said was a pity, Deng Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I believe that in just one year, there will be a time when the prince will show his strength, as long as we stick to Zhuangzhou, no matter what happens, we will not go out, and hold the grain transportation zone in the inner countryside, the grain from Anyang will continue to enter Zhuangzhou, and when the time comes, I believe that Li Yanqing will not be able to take Zhuangzhou even if he racks his brains..."

After the defeat of Chai Shang's army, he withdrew with the remaining 30,000 people to Lingshou County, which was more than 80 miles northwest of Zhuangzhou, and stationed, on the one hand, he rectified morale, on the other hand, he did not want to go out to fight with Li Yanqing, because Lingshou County was indeed too far away from the official road, and it was still a remote small county town, and the city gate only had two exits, the south gate and the north gate, Lingshou County was backed by the Taihang Mountains, unless it was the whole territory of Hebei that Li Yanqing had obtained, otherwise if Lingshou County was attacked, in addition to paying unnecessary losses, it was also easy to be threatened by Zhuangzhou, It can be said that the gains outweigh the losses, so Li Yanqing will definitely not send troops to Lingshou County unless it is absolutely necessary, this is also a decision made by Chai Shang after careful consideration, which can also be seen that Chai Shang's strategy of using troops is also more prominent, but it is just that people are not at the right time...

On the other side, Liu Zhisuo, a general under Liu Xuan, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, led 14,000 men and horses to reinforce the 50,000 troops of Tuoba Jun in Shouyang, and the Tuoba Jun who killed him lost his armor and fled all the way back to Jinyang, which was also the first major defeat since Tuoba Wenhong's dynasty, and Wentai's withdrawal from Mengjin Pass was Tuoba Wenhong's will; The general of the first regime, Kou Sui, led an army of 50,000 and successfully took the Jingcheng Pass...

At this point, Liu Xuan's change of the beginning of the regime officially won the world, starting from Jingcheng Pass in the east and reaching Linxian in the west, dividing half of the land in Shanxi, and Liu Xuan gathered 150,000 troops to surround Jinyang.

Xiliang, Daliang Palace

Tuoba Wenhong after hearing Wentai's letter asking for help, his heart was full of difficulties, now not only Wentai, even Tuoba Wenyan's situation is also very difficult, Sima Xin started a major counterattack in Yuncheng, recaptured the Longmen Pass captured by Tuoba Wenyan, the king of Qingyang in Daliang, and forced Tuoba Wenyan's army out of Henan, and his army had to withdraw to Luochuan, and what was worse was that Shaanxi Bu political envoy, King Yi Liu Jing ordered Shaanxi to command the envoy Xu Yingfeng to lead 100,000 troops to monitor Tuoba Wenyan in Huangling...

The current Liu Jing is not like the previous friendship with the Tuoba clan, after all, the current emperor is Gongsun Long, and it is not He Jing who is in power, so he naturally has no reason to go against the imperial court, so after Gongsun Long ascended the throne, Liu Jing proposed to the Tuoba clan to return to Luochuan, but the result was naturally rejected by the Tuoba clan, so Liu Jing also simply tore his face and sent the commander Xu Yingfeng to lead an army of 100,000 troops in Huangling to guard against Tuoba Wenyan, as long as there was any change in his army, he immediately attacked to show Liu Jing's loyalty to the Dacheng Dynasty...

"The land of the annex was laid down by Wentai himself, but it was taken advantage of by Liu Xuanxiao'er, I was really angry, so I decided to do my best, go to Jinyang, and fight to the death with the enemy..."

"The emperor must not be rash..."An official in the palace stood up in line and persuaded: "Although half of the land of the state has been taken away by Liu Xuan's thief army, Jinyang is always in the hands of General Wentai, as long as we increase our troops and merge the state and keep Jinyang, then, when the time is ripe, we can recapture the lost place, after all, the sphere of influence of those thief armies is not very large, and what they want to maintain the army is grain and grass, the land north of Jinyang is barren, I believe that the thief army will not last long..."

"What Lord Zhang said is very true, please think twice..."

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

Tuoba Wenhong took a deep breath, he was young and vigorous, and his ability to kill the enemy on the battlefield was second only to Shangguan Yin Feng, so that he had nothing to do all day long to sit on the dragon seat and review the folds, it was better to go to the battlefield and personally command the killing of the enemy: "Okay, since this is the case, I will also listen to your Aiqing, however, if the increase in troops has little effect, then, when the time comes, I will personally drive the battle..."

"Long live my emperor..."

After speaking, Tuoba Wenhong looked at the chamberlain standing aside, and said: "Order Wenyang, let him lead my 150,000 army, and set off in three days to Jinyang to support..."

"No..."

Luoyang, Kyoto, Heavenly Palace

Chai Shang's defeat had already caused a shock when the news was transmitted back to Luoyang, Gongsun Long never imagined that Chai Shang was actually defeated in the hands of the old man of Changsha who he trusted, that is to say, Chai Shang was defeated in the hands of his own people, this bitter fruit, Gongsun Long had to swallow it himself, and he had to pretend not to know...

"Now that the army of Yicheng Tinghou has recaptured the Longmen Pass, this means that there is no longer any threat to my Gyeonggi, you Aiqing, how do you say our army should act now?" The Yicheng Pavilion Marquis in Gongsun Long's mouth refers to Sima Xin, and Sima Xin's military position is General Fuyuan...

Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Dong stood out of the queue and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that General Fuyuan's morale is strong, it is better to order him to attack Luochuan, in order to take this important city, if it can be successfully taken, it can force Tuoba Wenyan's rebels back to Xiliang, and Luochuan is also a military town, and King Yi Liu Jing should pay some price if he gives up this city..."

Gongsun Long frowned, he communicated with Zhang Dong about this matter before the early dynasty, and now he just went through the process when he talked about it: "Okay, according to Prime Minister Zuo's words, pass on the decree, and seal Sima Xin's food and yi 1,000 households; Secondly, he ordered him to lead his army to Luochuan and capture this place, and furthermore, he sent an order to King Yi to send troops to assist Sima Xin in the battle..."

"No..."
