Chapter 354: The True Prince of Chu Wang
Riding on the horse, Han Dexiang's face was full of frost, he felt that he had been insulted, a Han people who fled in a hurry actually attacked the Daliao Iron Cavalry with infantry, is this treating the Daliao Cheetah Battalion as nothing? Gu Nalie's Shangjing cavalry had not yet arrived, but Han Dexiang still made a choice, he left 4,000 men to attack the soldiers and horses crossing the river, and the rest of the men went all out to deal with the Han soldiers and horses that rushed over. Yao Gu danced with a sword, Han Dexiang stared at him at a glance, and Yao Gu was the same, using infantry and cavalry to resist, and there was no good formation to defend, it was simply an act of looking for death, at first he could rush with a brave spirit, but after a while, the Liao people reacted and organized the squad formation, and Da Song Erlang only had the fate of being slaughtered, so the best way was to kill the Liao general.
Keeping an eye on Han Dexiang, Yao Gu beat his horse and galloped wildly, and along the way, Liao Qi wanted to block it, but was cut over by a horse chopping knife. Han Dexiang couldn't help but gasp, this Southern Barbarian has so much strength, how can the horse chopping knife weigh dozens of catties, he actually wields it with one hand freely. With his hands staggered, he clenched the phoenix mouth knife, and shouted wildly, Han Dexiang rode up to meet him, and the two steel knives were long and short, but the power in them was considerable. With a choking sound, the force poured in, and the two war horses stumbled at the same time. Han Dexiang's strength is not bad, just one move, Yao Gu lost his contempt, his hands clenched the hilt, the two horses staggered, and the two fought fiercely for a few rounds. This time, Yao Gu suffered a loss, after all, Han Dexiang had a phoenix mouth knife in his hand, and he immediately fought and took a lot of advantage. Yao Gu stiffened his face, his leopard eyes were starry, and he pounced on his horse again with a whoa, and Han Dexiang sneered. Looking at the direction of Yao Gu's swing of the knife. He leaned slightly to the left. The phoenix mouth knife swept horizontally, Yao Gu quickly put away the knife, leaned back and dodged against the horse's back. Han Dexiang was so disappointed, as long as he used the next move, he heard a hissing sound, and the whole person fell off the horse. The war horse charged, the speed was extremely fast, under inertia. If you fall on the ground, you still have to fall into a lot of meat? Han Dexiang is also very good, when he was about to land, the phoenix mouth knife supported the ground, and the whole person flipped around in the air, unloaded his strength, and stood firmly on the ground.
Looking back, the BMW that had followed him for many years was lying on the ground in pain, and its two front legs were cut off in unison. What a sinister Han man, he actually attacked the war horse.
"Han dog. You've got to die! ”
"Son of a dog, you want to die too!" Yao Gu jumped off his horse. Sneering and rushing towards Han Dexiang, Yao Gu's knife was full of strength, and his technique was even more strange, once he got close, Han Dexiang immediately felt endless pressure. After fighting for a few rounds, seeing the right time, Yao Gu picked the handle of the knife in Han Dexiang's hand, reflexively kicked with his right foot, and the unlucky Han Dexiang was kicked squarely. Han Dexiang, who was kicking this kind of heart-warming kicking, was depressed, Yao Gu naturally would not let go of the opportunity, seized the gap and reflexively split Huashan, Han Dexiang raised the handle of the knife to block, but saw that the heavy horse chopping knife turned the direction strangely, and cut down diagonally along the handle, and with a sound, Han Dexiang's right arm was wiped out, and blood instantly filled his right arm.
Hiss, Han Dexiang's right hand kept trembling, fortunately, it was more timely enough, and if it was a little slower, the whole arm would be buried here.
Yao Gu wanted to take Han Dexiang's life, but at this time, more than a dozen Liao cavalry surrounded Han Dexiang behind, and a large group of cavalry appeared in the west, so he had to give up Han Dexiang, snatched a war horse again, and led the remaining soldiers of his department to chase after Man Chun to the south.
When he arrived, he saw that Jin Xianhe had turned red, and the water and the south bank were full of Han corpses.
In the first battle of Jin Xianhe, the vanguard army on the left side of the Great Song Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, and after withdrawing to Yanmen Mountain, there were only more than 7,000 people left, most of whom were wounded. Yao Gu didn't expect this kind of ending, he didn't kill many people in the attack on Yingzhou, but when he came back, he suffered more than half of the casualties. Before he could rest before he could rest in the state government, a piece of news shocked Yao Gu so much that he was dizzy and almost vomited blood.
Zhang's 50,000 men and horses were defeated in Heyin City, and the soldiers were almost completely killed and wounded, and less than 3,500 fled back. Yao Gu knew very well that the army on the left road had already existed in name only, and in just two days, the middle road plus the vanguard army was nearly 60,000, and how many soldiers were left to fight? Not to mention attacking the Liao, how to deal with the counterattack of the Liaons has become a big problem. In fact, Yao Gu has not been very much in favor of the invasion of Liao, the Song-Liao border has been peaceful for a hundred years, and the Liao people are no longer as monesticized as before, this war, destroying the peace of a hundred years or second, the most important thing is that no one in Song Liao can get benefits, but the Jurchens and Xixia people can take the opportunity to make a lot of benefits.
If the casualties of the Great Song Left Route Army were surprising enough, what happened next made Yao Gu wonder if he was alive.
On April 26 of the third year of Xuanhe, an urgent document was sent to Taiyuan Mansion, Cai Shumi was closing his eyes to recuperate, and he heard that there was an urgent document, he didn't care much, so he asked the maid to hand over the letter, squinted and looked at it for a while, but after a while, Cai Shumi lost his usual relaxed color, and his whole body lost a little elegant atmosphere. He stood up abruptly, silent for a long time, his eyes motionless, except for the constant trembling of his hands.
"No, no, it's impossible, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's impossible"
Cai You couldn't believe it, he would rather believe that the sow would go up to the tree than believe that the king of Jinling occupied the three states in Fuzhong, how could it be? How is this possible? So who is the King of Jinling? He is the first gentleman in Bianliang City, he is cowardly as a mouse, lustful and immoral, he is stupid as a pig, he has no courage and no strategy, he is greedy for money and life, and he is shameless. Can such a person quietly seize the land of the three states in Fuzhong?
Cai You doesn't want to believe it, and he can't believe it, because if this qiē is true, it means that the Zhao Yougong he saw before is not real, it's terrible, a person has been pretending since he was a child, pretending to be more than ten years, hiding from everyone, how deep is his scheming? Thinking of the past, I can't be afraid, if a qiē is true, how will the prince of Chu who has stood up again be frightened?
Knock knock, a knock sounded on the door, and a guard entered the door and sent a message again, "Cai Shumi, report from the direction of Gangtong Pass." A group of soldiers and horses quickly occupied Tongguan and Hangu Pass! ”
"Who did it?" Cai You asked instinctively.
"I don't know. I only know that Tongguan and Hangu Pass have changed their flags. There are three words written on it! ”
Huh, Cai You sat in the chair with a buttocks, it's over, all of them are true, if the letter is fake, the flags of Tongguan and Hanguguan cannot be fake. Guarding Tongguan and Hangu Pass, occupying the three prefectures in the north and having the same state as the backing. Hehe, such a deep scheming, such a vicious plan, that kid is going to do his best in the middle of the pass
Cai You was dumbfounded, smirking for a while, raising eyebrows and glaring for a while, and the expression on his face was colorful, just like a thought surging in his heart. Cai You's laughter was more of a mockery, he was laughing at the official family. It is also the powerful people in Bianliang City, including themselves, so many people. No one saw Zhao Yougong's true face. Now that I think about it, at that time, I defiled Master Li, pretended to be crazy and stupid, and all these things were probably all for the purpose of leaving the capital and retaking control of the national army, right? Zhao Yougong's treacherous plan succeeded, but at that time, everyone thought that Zhao Yougong was sent to a point of no return, who would have thought that Zhao Xiaojunwang, who ate poisonous cow grass and was sent to the battlefield, not only did not die, but also took advantage of the opportunity of the Great Song Dynasty to attack Liao, and turned his hands into clouds and hands for rain in a blink of an eye, and took charge of the three states in the palace.
After a long time, Cai You came back from the shock, he wrote a letter tremblingly, found his own soldiers, and whispered with a pale face, "Hurry up and send this letter to the capital as soon as possible."
After the soldiers left, Cai You paced around the house, what did he think he had to do, did he want to watch Zhao Yougong sit in the land of Sanzhou, Xu Tu Guanzhong? Now there are few soldiers and horses near Hedong Road, tens of thousands of troops in Zhang Jun's hands are dead and wounded, although Yao Gu has more than 7,000 people in his hands, but most of them are remnants, and they have just experienced a big battle, and they can't be used, the only thing that can be used is the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Hong Yuanpei who is stationed in the Ninghua Army.
Thinking of this, Cai You immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Ninghua Jun, and the letter arrived in the hands of Ninghua Hong Yuanpei at noon.
On April 26 of the third year of Xuanhe, no one can forget this day, on this day, the northwest land was shocked by a person, he was Zhao Yougong, the king of Jinling. This 20-year-old young man actually captured the three prefectures of Fuzhong, Tongguan and Hangu Pass overnight, and even took Danzhou and other places in Hezhong Prefecture, and even the Taihua Mountain bandits set up pawns of the Dingguo Army to threaten Jingzhao Mansion.
On behalf of the state government, Yao Gu looked at the official document in his hand, and couldn't speak for a long time, His Royal Highness the King of Jinling occupied the three prefectures in Fuzhong, as well as Tongguan and Hangu Pass? Hangu Pass is known as the gateway to Guanzhong, if you want to enter the Guanzhong, you have to go through Hangu, hehe, His Royal Highness the King of Jinling is really far-sighted.
When the news of the three states of Fuzhong spread all over the northwest, everyone found out that the prince of Chu who was once ridiculed was not stupid at all, not only was he not stupid, but he was more shrewd than everyone.
Suddenly, many people found that the sky of the Great Song Dynasty was about to change, because the prince of Chu had come back!
After Hong Yuanpei got the order, he immediately ordered his troops and horses to go straight to Fengzhou with his troops and horses. The prince of Chu stood up, what he wanted, it must be the glory that he had lost, and the status that belonged to the prince of Chu. If Zhao Yougong wants to be the real prince of Chu, he will ask for power, soldiers, and territory, but can these officials give it? Hong Yuanpei is a smart man, any county king in the Great Song Dynasty can live a good life, but the prince of Chu can't, because he is the only relative blood left in the world by the first emperor, it is said that the first emperor wanted his younger brother His Royal Highness King Jian to succeed to the throne, if this is true, then this prince of Chu should have been the crown prince of the dynasty. What is the Prince? That's the future emperor, the official family can give everything, but this can't be given.
Nowadays, all the battles are actually the struggle for imperial power, Hong Yuanpei is a person with pursuits, he wants to be a high-ranking official and be admired, so he wants to take this opportunity to stand in line, as long as he chooses the right one, he Hong Yuanpei is a great hero. Without much thought, Hong Yuanpei chose the current official family, no matter how deep Zhao Yougong's scheming and means are, but the power in his hands is still too small compared to the entire Great Song Dynasty, and he occupies the three states of Fuzhong, even if the Great Song Dynasty is helpless, what about the Liao? Hong Yuanpei felt that Zhao Yougong couldn't stop the Liao, Yelu Dashi commanded more than 100,000 tigers and wolves, in this northwest land, who is the opponent?
Hong Yuanpei led his troops through the Lan Army and the Baode Army, and arrived at the Fugu area in the east of Fuzhou at the end of the same day. Hong Yuanpei knows very well what he should do, he only needs to capture Zhao Yougong in Fengzhou, and the entire Tongzhou system will immediately collapse, what is the use of attacking the eastern part of Fuzhou alone? As long as Zhao Yougong is good, even if he Hong Yuanpei defeated the two prefectures, it will not be a credit.
After resting on the spot for a while, the spy came back and reported, "General Hong, we have already looked at both sides of Fugu, and there is no abnormality. ”
"Okay, pass the order, the whole army will pass through the Fu Valley, and be sure to arrive at Ningfu Village in the south of Fengzhou before tomorrow!"
Hong Yuanpei drove his horse and walked in front, and more than 10,000 troops slowly entered the valley through the narrow valley mouth, but what Hong Yuanpei didn't know was that there was a conspiracy waiting for him to step into the valley at this time. (To be continued......)
