Chapter 174: Gao Gan's Request
"Yes, the skills of the other two gentlemen have not been seen, but I can be regarded as having seen the ability of this General Li Ping, although General Li only brought 3,000 people, but along the way to open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water, this ensures that our army can advance smoothly, especially when Sangganshui, because Gongsun Zhan widened and deepened the Sanggan River, and the river flows rapidly, in that case, there is no day and night, it is impossible to build the bridge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info But what's wrong with you? General Li actually built the pontoon bridge overnight, and it was also thanks to General Li who built the pontoon bridge so quickly, and then made a surprise attack on the enemy troops on the other side, otherwise, we may have a problem even crossing the river in a short time, let alone rescuing the envoy. ”
"Captain Yan is good, when I turn back, I will definitely reward a few of you, as for the military position, I think it is better for He'er to promote you, anyway, my old bones are no longer suitable for presiding over the overall situation of Youzhou, when He'er comes, I will hand over Youzhou to him, let's go, this is not the place to talk, Captain Yan, King Qiao, Zhengfang, everyone, let's go into the city to talk."
After entering the city, Liu Yu ordered people to get money and silk to reward Yan Rou and Su Fu Pill for their righteous deeds of leading the troops to help, and ordered people to reward Li Ping, Zhao Yan, Du Xi and others who had made great contributions, and then set up a banquet to celebrate their achievements, reward the three armies, and at the same time reward Yan Rou and Su Fu Pill.
During this period, Liu Yu's subordinate general Xian Yuyin also proposed to take advantage of the victory to pursue, take Juyong Pass in one go, and recapture Jicheng, but this was unanimously opposed by Liu Yu and Zhao Yan, and Yan Rou and Sufumaru did not approve of this.
Although the attitude is the same, their starting point is different, the reason why Yan Rou does not approve of this matter is mainly because the military force directly controlled by him is not very strong, if the loss is too much, it will not be able to form a deterrent force against Wuhuan in the future. And King Qiao disagreed, in fact, the reason was similar, the Wuhuan cavalry under his command was relatively good at fighting in open areas, but if they were allowed to attack the city, it would bring very heavy losses, and he was not willing to fill in the lives of his soldiers.
Liu Yu was disheartened and had serious doubts about his combat ability, so he preferred to stick to Juyong City and wait until Liu He led the army to arrive before concentrating on dealing with Gongsun Zhan.
As for Zhao Yan, it's not that he doesn't want to attack Juyong Pass, it's just that he also saw the thoughts in the hearts of these people, if he just guards here, he can temporarily maintain the confrontation between the two sides, but if he uses this kind of detached army to attack Juyong Pass, he will definitely fail miserably, and it is better to maintain a temporary confrontation like this.
The news of Liu Yu's salvation soon spread to Taiyuan, Liu He was very happy after hearing the news, and immediately wrote a letter to express his gratitude to everyone, and also praised Yan Rou as the general of Wuhuan Zhonglang, Li Ping as the captain of the thief, Du Yan as the captain of the thief, and Zhao Yan as the Taishou of Yuyang.
"Lord, good news, General Xu Huang's good news, the army of Xihe laid an ambush in Zishi County, Xihe County, broke the white sparrow thief soldiers, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and the white finch fled alone, and his whereabouts are unknown; General Wei Yan fought a decisive battle with Zhang Baiqi and the Xiongnu coalition army in Gaonu County, Shangjun, and fought against the water in the case of a disadvantage in numbers, and the result was a big break between Zhang Baiqi and the Xiongnu coalition army, beheading more than 5,000 ranks, and descending more than 10,000 people, even Zhang Baiqi was forced to surrender in a desperate situation, General Wei Yan continued to lead the army to chase and kill the fleeing Huns, and in one fell swoop recovered the area south of the Great Wall in Zhifu Shi County, which had been occupied by the Xiongnu for many years, and pushed the battle line against the Southern Xiongnu to Beiping for 700 miles, under the prestige of General Wei Yan, Even the princes of the subject countries controlled by the Xiongnu took the initiative to surrender, and now the power of the Xiongnu has been greatly damaged, although there are tens of thousands of cavalry, but they are afraid of the prestige of General Wei Yan, and dare not send troops to fight for ......"
"Okay, Xu Huang and Wei Yan are worthy of being contemporary famous generals, and they were able to achieve such a big victory, which really inspires the morale of the army, and the order is passed on, and the two of them are commended! Each person has a thousand gold, 10,000 horses, and millions of money! ”
After that, Liu He also praised Wei Yan as a partial general and led Shangjun Taishou, and at the same time praised Xu Huang as the Yamen general and led Xihe Taishou, and ordered Wei Yan and Xu Huang to cooperate to attack the northern areas of Shangjun, Xihe and Taiyuan counties occupied by the Xiongnu, and completely drove the Huns back to the area of Wangting Meiji, and ordered Shangdang Taishou Xu Shu to send the officers and soldiers of the Baiyu Army to Taiyuan to listen to the dispatch.
Xu Shu also heard about what happened in Youzhou at this time, and saw the battle report of Xu Huang and Wei Yan, knowing that the safety of Shangdang had been guaranteed, plus Xu Shu had recruited thousands of soldiers, there was no need to let the Bai Yu army stay in Shangdang, so after receiving the order, he immediately ordered Pei Yuanshao and Deng Zhan to lead the nine thousand Bai Yu army to Taiyuan.
And at this time, there was good news that under Liu He's continuous psychological offensive, and at the same time, under the persuasion of Guo Yun, the former Yanmen Taishou, the generals in Yanmen County killed the Yanmen Taishou appointed by Zhang Yan, and then surrendered the city, which made Liu He's forces directly reach the Pingcheng line, and completely bordered the Dai County of Youzhou.
After that, Liu He asked Guo Yun to still be the Taishou of Yanmen, and let his son Guo Huai serve as the lieutenant of Yanmen, recruit strong men in Yanmen, and be responsible for the security of Yanmen.
On the third day after Bai Yu's army arrived in Taiyuan, Chen Zhi led a man to Liu He's tent, who was said to be an envoy from Yuan Shaojun's army, and sent him a letter with fire paint on it, and the person who paid for it turned out to be Yuan Shaojun's nephew, Gao Gan.
Liu He was very surprised to see this, and hurriedly opened the letter, only to see that the letter wrote that after Zhang Yan fled to Changshan, with the help of the contradictions between the thieves, he successfully controlled the thief army of Zhongshan, Changshan, and Zhaojun counties, gathered seventy or eighty thousand people, and launched an attack on the army of Liyi. As a result, Zhang Yan's arrogant tactics were hit, suffered an ambush, and lost three or four thousand people, and now Koji Yizheng led the soldiers to stick to the Yuan clan, but the thieves actually cut off his food route, so the army could not hold out for too long, in this case, Gao Gan had to follow Koji Yi's advice and ask Liu He for help.
"I really didn't expect things to be like this, this Yuan Shao is really confused, he actually sent such a thing as Gao Gan to preside over the overall situation, so how can he let Lu Yi exert his true strength? This is simply a snake to add to the picture, and it is unreasonable. ”
After sending the messenger down to rest, Liu He couldn't help but complain a few words, but saw Xun You sighing: "How many people in this world can be like the lord who can use people without doubt?" Yuan Shao must be worried that Koji Yi has bad intentions, so he sent Gao Gan to supervise, which led to this scene, but the thief is relatively large, if you let it go, I am afraid it will become a big trouble for us. As long as the Black Mountain thieves are pacified, the lord can go directly north to Jixian County, attack Gongsun Chan from behind, and eradicate this big trouble! ”
