Chapter 337: Thinking of the Way Back
Compared to the generals who are full of rage. Mo Jie was particularly cold, "Xin Zhang Shen wants to lead his troops to surrender to the gold thief, but all kinds of signs in the past few days indicate that there must be a major change in this corridor, otherwise there will not be a series of abnormal situations.
First, the two large battalions of the Jin army set up outside the city of Langzhou suddenly withdrew, and then the next morning, the Jin army made a comeback. The strangest thing is that the battle net has begun. The Jin army has withdrawn again! Maybe there is some truth in Dashuai's statement. That is, the Jurchens don't care. They didn't care that if they defeated the Song army, they could drive straight into the city of Yan'an, nor did they care what would happen if they won. can make the Jurchen who has been fierce for many years suddenly feel so leisurely, it must have eaten a piece of fat and is burping. From this point of view, the words of the envoy of the Golden Army are not necessarily wild words and deception.
The generals were still resentful, Xu Yuan still maintained a sitting posture, and Xu Sheng looked at his younger brother. Xu Jiu was thoughtful.
Understand what your opponent is trying to do. You have to understand what you want to do. For example, if this news is true, then what will our army do? There is no doubt that the purpose of this expedition is to rescue Yan'an. If Yan'an Mansion has fallen, then there will be no need to enter the army again.
In other words, Sticky Han wants our army to withdraw. So, for what reason did he want me to quit? It's nothing more than two points, either they're afraid of us, or they don't want to fight anymore. The first possibility is largely non-existent. As for the second type, if Yan'an is not lost, it is inevitable that our army will enter the army, and it is impossible for him not to want to fight. That means that "
When he was out of his mind, he suddenly heard Xu Yuan say: "I wanted to kill you to sacrifice the flag, but the two armies fought and did not come to make it." I'll let you go. Remember to tell Sticky Han. An early truce. These words are no longer as lethal as before, and it can be seen that Xu Yide may also have scruples in his heart.
The golden envoy smiled indifferently, didn't say anything more, and saluted him. He turned sideways to Xu Wei again, looked at it twice, and then turned around and walked out. The generals were indignant, and each one scolded more than the other, but no one believed that the commander would defect to the enemy.
"Wait and stand down. Rong Benshuai thought about this matter carefully and then made a calculation. Xu Yuan waved his hand. The generals got up and saluted and left the tent, and Wu Wei looked at Xu Wei when he left, and the latter nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what he knew.
On the big tent, only the three brothers of the Xu family remained. There is no need to avoid anything, Xu Yuan is waiting for the generals to leave. Then he blurted out and asked, "Fourth brother, ninth brother, according to your opinion, this thing is true or false." ”
"There's no need for Sticky Han to tell this lie, because it's easy to debunk. I think, maybe, I'm afraid" Xu Sheng shook his head straight, because this matter is too heavy and has too much impact. If Yan'an is really lost, it will already be a big loss for all roads in Shaanxi, not to mention Zhang Shen's treason and surrender. Sky! If this is true, what will Shaanxi be stirred up into?
Xu Wei suddenly sighed. Xu Da and Xu Si looked at him in surprise, Lao Jiu's style is just like his expression, always high-spirited and forging ahead, although he is unswerving in adversity, he sighed, and it seems that he also thinks that this matter is true.
"Big brother, fourth brother, now we have to think about the way back."
There was silence in the tent for a while, and the three brothers knew in their hearts that if Yan'an fell, they would have no second way except to retreat. Retreat is a trifle. What is serious is the follow-up caused by the fall of Langyan all the way.
Yan'an line. It is a barrier in the northeast of Shaanxi. It has always been a strong support point for the Xia war. The Jin army wanted to take Shaanxi, and as long as Yan'an was there, he could not advance westward, nor could he release Guanzhong. If Yan'an is lost, the Guanzhong Plain will be completely exposed under the iron hooves of the Jin army. Although Dingrong is located in a narrow area south of Weishui, and the defense is more than enough, it is obviously powerless to prevent the Jin army from taking Guanzhong.
To put it seriously, Lang Yan lost it. It is equivalent to announcing that most of Guanzhong has fallen. Of course, if you pull all the Xu family army and the seed family army stationed in the Guanzhong Plain area to fight with the Jin army, you will fight until you are fine. Maybe it's possible to keep it.
"Yes, if Duyan really falls, Shaanxi should be shaken." It was rare for Xu Yuan to have such a deep voice. For the first time, Concubine Wanyan led the army, and once hit Yaozhou, which was only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an. But he doesn't occupy many prefectures and counties, let alone a strategic place like Yan'an. This time, alas......
Xu Sheng also looked gloomy, and said helplessly: "No matter what, let's figure things out first." If Muhan sends a messenger to come, he will talk in vain. Let's call out the truce, and spread it out to make people laugh. ”
In the next two days, Sanxu and Qu Duan did not move, and sent people around to inquire about the news. The results obtained were shocking, some people fled from the rebel army around Yan'an, and all said that the Jin army had controlled the east and west cities of Yan'an, and as for whether Zhang Dashuai defected to the enemy, it was uncertain.
Soon, the Hujie army made careful explorations, and there were Jin army troops to Langzhou one after another, obviously the Yan'an war had ended. For a time, rumors spread in the army, and people's hearts fluctuated. Xu Yuan is precautionary. Ordered the whole army to retreat to the town of "three "to watch. In fact, this is tantamount to ordering a boycott, and the so-called "wait-and-see" people are nothing more than trying to find out whether Zhang Shen has surrendered and committed treason.
On June 19, Qu Duan sent Kang to inform Xu Yuan that the Jin army had gathered in Langzhou one after another, probably in preparation for the attack on Qingyang Mansion, and he had decided to lead his army back to defend Huanqing Road. And it happened to be on this day that the official order from Tokyo arrived at the front line, appointing Xu Yuan as the deputy envoy of the Shaanxi Sixth Route System for the time being. On the same day, Xu Yuan ordered a retreat to Yaozhou and reported to Li Gang about the fall of Yan'an.
Shaanxi Xuanfu Division
Li Gang sat behind the public case with concern. In front of him, Xu Yuan's battle report was spread.
Yan'an fell, and it was rumored that Zhang Shen surrendered to the enemy by extending the passage of rumors. Although Li Boji does not understand military affairs. But he also knows what Langyan all the way means to Shaanxi, Yan'an has always been an important military town in Shaanxi. The army has always been a representative of the Western Army. But now, Langyan is lost, and the door of Shaanxi is wide open.
"Yan'an fell, Xu Yuan led his troops to retreat to Yaozhou, and Quduan has returned to Huanqing." Li Gang's words were tantamount to a thunderclap in the second hall.
The adjutants who were buried in the office were sideways. Shock was written all over his face. Someone even looked at their colleagues. I want to make sure I heard it wrong. Ma Kuo was not immune to surprises. Although the Langyan army suffered defeat. But the main force is still there, how could the Jin army break the city so quickly? When he spoke out this doubt. Li Gang suddenly wrote: "Xu Yuan said in the battle report that Langyan rumored that Zhang Shen had surrendered to Kaicheng, and he had already rebelled!" "Yi Xunshu is concave and said that it is a different body clam
