Chapter 2855: Zhang Xun

Jianghuai has undergone a big change, and Li Yu is already a little crazy.

An Lushan seems to have known that it is not realistic to capture Tongguan in the short term, so he went back to Luoyang with a large army, and in addition to handing over 20,000 or 30,000 troops to Yin Ziqi to take to Jianghuai, he also divided more than 10,000 to comprehensively strangle the rebel army in the Central Plains, and more than 20,000 went to Yecheng to support Shi Siming, and the 50,000 troops left under Tongguan also did nothing except camp and camp, and they had not attacked Tongguan even once for seven or eight days.

It is not so much that this is a siege, but that this is to guard the soldiers and horses in the pass from coming out, it seems that the strategy of An Lushan has also changed, and he no longer expects a quick battle but is ready for a protracted war.

Han Xin wrote three letters, asking him whether he would continue to train or find a way to fight to rescue Jianghuai, and in his words, he was at least seventy percent sure that the 50,000 troops in Tongguan would be wiped out.

Li Yu was very tempted by Han Xin's proposal, but was rejected by Qin Hao, he didn't think Han Xin was bragging, since a generation of war gods said seventy percent, it must be seventy percent, but even ninety percent Qin Hao would not let him move, in a word, the position of Tongguan is too important, once Tongguan loses Chang'an, they can no longer hold it, they can't afford to gamble.

As for Jianghuai, Qin Hao was not worried, he had full confidence in the Jianghuai region, and he knew that the man who shone like the sun on the entire Tang Dynasty, or even five thousand years of China, should appear.

Zhang Xun!

In the entire Anshi Rebellion, there are only three people who can be called top talents, Li Mi, who has been taken into his own bag; Guo Ziyi, the age is inevitably too big, and this person must let Li Yu reuse it in the future to set an example for the envoys of various festivals, so Qin Hao did not beat his idea, and the third person is Zhang Xun.

This is the person Qin Hao must dig up for his own use.

Sure enough, after only a few days, the second urgent report from the Jianghuai region was delivered.

"Qiqi Shengshang, the true source order Zhang Xun has outwitted Yongqiu, and the death battle orders the fox tide, and more than 70 battles of all sizes in three days have been victorious."

Li Yu asked with a confused expression: "True source... Zhong Aiqing, who knows where the true source is? "Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but no one answered.

Li Yu waited for a while, and then asked, "Then who of you knows, who is this Zhang Xun?" "This is not a big court meeting, those who are qualified to discuss in the political hall are all senior members of the fourth rank or above, everyone looks at each other, let alone acquaintance, no one has heard of this name.

Seeing that no one could tell the reason for asking for a long time, Li Yu had no choice but to continue to ask the reporter: "This... How many people are in Zhang Xun's hands? ”

I saw that the little soldier's eyes were full of admiration and said: "Master Zhang only has a thousand people in his hands, and he has a thousand people in the hands of Jia Ben, the county lieutenant of Shanfu, and now there are a total of 2,000 soldiers and civilians. ”

"Only 2,000 people? It's all ... The soldiers in the county? That... How many people are there in Linghu Chao? ”

"Forty thousand!"

“。。。。。”

"Two thousand against forty thousand, you just said that more than 70 battles of all sizes were won?"

"Yes."

"You... See, this is not a place where you can tell lies casually. ”

"The little one swears to the sky, if there is half a lie, the sky will thunder."

Li Yu was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to react, and muttered: "There are talents in the wilderness, and the court is also stupid." ”

Qin Hao pouted, what is this, this buddy's talent has just played a small role, what is there to brag about two thousand against forty thousand, will my brother tell you that in the original history, he finally used four hundred people to drag down an army of 200,000?

Qin Hao, who had been closing his eyes on the side, finally stood up and said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty, Feng Zhang Xun is a festival envoy and has an overview of the Jianghuai war." ”

"This... None of you here knew him, nor did you know his talent and loyalty, although he was shining very brightly, but who knew if it was a flash in the pan? ”

"Jianghuai affairs, you don't have to worry about it, Feng Zhang Xun is such an official, and then I will personally sit in Yongqiu to assist him, you are optimistic about the other battlefields There will be no accidents and changes."

"Ahh With the help of the immortals, it is naturally the best, I don't have to worry about it, I will write an edict now. ”

"By the way, add an article to the edict, after the war, Zhang Xun will go with me, and you will sell him to me in the name of the emperor."

"Huh? Sell.... Sold to you? "What's the situation?

。。。。。。

Looking at the edict written by Li Yu in his hand, Qin Hao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, Zhang Xun was too loyal, almost to the point of being a little dead-eyed, if there was no such order from the Son of Heaven to let him follow him from now on, it was almost impossible to let him go with him.

But now, now that the holy decree has been issued, I believe that with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he will soon be able to have another general under his command.

Zhang Xun, a rare dazzling star in the history of the Chinese War, shone on the entire history of the Chinese War like the sun, what he did and did, if it were not for the great criticism of cannibalism in the later period, there is no doubt that this is a figure who will be praised by the people on the altar.

After the rebellion of the fox tide caught a lot of soldiers who opposed the surrender of the Yan army, and planned to kill them and present them to the Yan army, as a result, these prisoners took advantage of the fact that the fox tide ran out of the city to meet the Yan Dynasty army and occupied Yongqiu, and invited Zhang Xun to bring two thousand soldiers and horses into the city, since then, the word Zhang Xun has left a bright and dazzling two years in history.

In history, he first fought with Linghu Chao in Yongqiu City for more than half a year, almost making Linghu Chao cry, and later because of the strategic transfer of Yongqiu's food exhaustion, he successively fought the Battle of Ningling and the Battle of Suiyang, which is said to be a miracle.

In the battle of Suiyang, Zhang Xun fought against Yin Ziqi's 200,000 army with thousands of soldiers and horses, and dragged him to Suiyang like a nail, and the most ruthless one fought more than 20 battles in one day, all of which were big victories.

If the matter ends here, Zhang Xun will definitely not cause such a big controversy, and he will not get a mixed reputation in later generations.

In the later stage of the Suiyang defense war in history, no one from all over the country sent troops to rescue Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun finally couldn't hold on to the situation of no food and grass and no reinforcements outside, he could still fight without reinforcements, but there was no food and grass, how could he still hold on? The sparrows in the sky have eaten up, the mice in the ground have also eaten up, the bark and grass roots have been eaten, and finally as a last resort, Zhang Xun killed his concubine as military food, and since then it has been out of control.

Suiyang City originally had more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians, but when the city was finally broken, it was less than 400, and the remaining 39,000 people did not die under the enemy's sword but were buried in Zhang Xun's stomach.

There are many cannibalistic guards in history, but it is the only one who eats so thoroughly, others cannibalize people in order to wait for reinforcements, such as Zu Dashou also did cannibalism, but after eating a few days after knowing that the reinforcements were hopeless, he decisively chose to break through, if Zhang Xun died on the way to break through and die, maybe the historical evaluation would be much better.

He knew that there would be no more reinforcements and ate up the people in the city, strategically speaking, he dragged the best time for the Yan army to capture Jianghuai, so that the wealth of the Jianghuai region could be continuously transmitted to the Tang army, and when Suiyang City was broken, Guo Ziyi had already returned the two capitals to the Son of Heaven, but after thinking about it, Zhang Xun did a bit too much, and finally the court launched a big debate on whether Zhang Xun was considered a hero or not.

It is said that Zhang Xun would crush his teeth every time he went out of the city to fight to the death, and when Yin Ziqi was defeated and captured, there was no more than half a tooth in his mouth when he opened his mouth.

Now, Qin Hao is here, so everything will naturally be different.
