Volume 3: A Generation of Tianjiao - Chapter 29: Zhao Jialang (4)
No one expected that the first meeting of the Han and Zhou armies would be the first of their kind and the Zhou army would be defeated. []
Since Zhang Yuanhui directly swept out of the battle with the cavalry, Chai Rong knew that the target of this first general of the Northern Han Dynasty was not his own middle army and left army. The cavalry faced the infantry charge, just like hitting a shrunken hedgehog with a fist, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 themselves. Zhang Yuanhui's troops rushed out of the front without making the slightest move, indicating that they had no intention of smashing the left army and the infantry army of the Chinese army, either to launch a raid on the flank and rear of the Zhou army, or to prepare to attack the right army of the Zhou army, which was also dominated by cavalry.
In fact, this incident itself did not surprise the Zhou army's monarchs and ministers, Zhang Yuanhui's department took the lead in attacking the cavalry of the right army, and was ready to rely on the superiority of the army to bully people, take the lead in defeating the only mobile force of the Zhou army, and completely control the initiative on the battlefield.
Liu Min is preparing to settle the situation in a war and settle the entire Guo Zhou regime in Gaoping.
In this regard, whether it is Chai Rong or Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, they are all mentally prepared, the Northern Han army has the advantage, it is strange not to fight like this, what they did not expect is that the right army will collapse so quickly.
As soon as the battle was engaged, the sound of a group of horses neighing came, and then, the banners of the two main generals of the right army, Fan Aineng and He Hui, suddenly disappeared.
The general will be the courage of the army, the two sides have just started the fight, and the main general is missing, how can this battle continue? At the beginning, the impact was not too great, Zhang Yuanhui's cavalry rushed into battle, the two sides shot for a while, and then there was a white-knuckle engagement, and each other cut off the 180 men and horses, in the vast battlefield of more than ten miles and 780,000 Chen soldiers, this personnel loss did not have any impact on the entire battle situation. Several battalions deployed in the forward position of the Left Army all commanded inspections, most of them were not so close to the two palace marshals Fan He on weekdays, and they had no old relationship with Cao Taiwei, and the two palace marshals were leaving, so naturally they would not say hello to them. The cavalry of the Han army rampaged, and in the neighing of people and horses, they only heard the sound of swords and golden guns entering the flesh, and no one had time to look at the situation behind them for a while, and the formation of the Han army was staggered at the beginning.
It's just that it's been less than half a quarter of an hour in total. With only 13,400 troops on the front line, it was impossible to withstand the blow of Zhang Yuanhui's 5,000 light cavalry head-on, although the Zhou troops on both sides were also gathering in the direction of the three Han army charging arrows, after all, the opponent's troops were too many, and the men and horses who arrived were swallowed up by the crowd in an instant, and they couldn't even set off a wave.
The one who directly served as the Marquis of Duyu in the forward position was Shi Shouxin, who had just been transferred from the guards and guards to the Marquis of Duyu.
At the beginning, Shi Shouxin did not have any doubts about Fan Aineng's name to ask him to take the lead, after all, he was not a soldier brought out by Cao Taiwei, as a veteran of the Guo Wei era, he had been with Wang Yin and Wang Jun, but he had never dealt with Cao Ying for half a point.
The battle connived at his subordinates to disrespect orders, Chai Rong, the son of heaven, is not so brain-dead!
Because of this, Shi Shouxin didn't really understand what was going on until the battalion behind him began to turn around and walk.
These two rebels and thieves...... How dare you do that......
At that moment, Shi Shouxin's mind went blank.
This decisive battle that determined the national fortunes of Zhou and Han was defeated like this?
The next moment, he gritted his teeth!
Raise my flag—
Although there were nearly 100 people beside him, the flag officer in charge of the order was already so frightened that his legs were weak.
This is a new recruit, a member of the clan of the privy deputy envoy Wang Renho, who sent troops this time and followed the mixed military achievements.
I have always felt that this person is a little lazy, but for the sake of the pivotal side, Shi Shouxin is not easy to care, and the old military leader of Wang Renho's level is not something that a small shrimp at his level can afford to provoke.
Shi Shouxin smiled bitterly, what kind of general's family, heroes and heroes don't ask about their backgrounds, and the muddy and soft eggs naturally don't have family backgrounds......
He didn't talk nonsense anymore, he casually drew his sword and slashed it, and slashed at the neck of the flag officer, and the soldiers who followed him suddenly became cold.
This flag official has a big temper in the camp, and even Shidu Yuhou has turned a blind eye, and everyone knows that this kind of goods cannot be provoked, but they didn't expect Duyu Hou to be polite in front of them, and now he went into battle and cut off the head of this pickled goods without answering - it seems that he is waiting for a crime to take this person's life at this moment.
However, seeing that Du Yuhou reached out and took the flag in the hand of the flag officer who was shaking to be planted, and unfolded it himself, the soldiers naturally understood what Lord Du Yuhou meant!
As soon as this flag is played out, there is only one meaning, from this moment on, the forward will be a thousand people, and the Great Zhou will not retreat!
At this moment, on the forward line, Yi Shi Shouxin has the highest military rank and the heaviest dispatch, he does not retreat, and no one with a lower military rank than him can retreat, otherwise even if he goes back, there is no way not to blame the public, there is only one dead word.
A hideous smile appeared on Shi Shouxin's face, and he shouted, "Die here——! ”
Shouting, this usually a little timid in the army The head of the army urged the war horse under his crotch, did not retreat but advanced, and the flag in his hand slowly greeted the Han cavalry swarming on the opposite side.
There were more than 100 cavalry on his side, one battalion on the left and right, and there were only three or four hundred people still alive in this formation, and the rest of the troops had been cut off by the enemy brigade, and the battlefield was noisy and chaotic, and it was not real, and I didn't know how many of them still had complete formations and morale.
From a distance, the enemy brigade swarmed by, like a tide, slashing and slashing the main force of the right army that was desperately rushing southward, and this small team of only three or four hundred people was like an isolated island standing in the torrent, crumbling, but on the contrary, it slowly reversed the direction of the torrent's impact.
In the direction of the Chinese army, Chai Rong's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the military formation of the Northern Han Chinese army on the opposite side.
"Where is Liu Ci?"
Heyang Jiedu made Liu Ci the only Zhou army reinforcements close to the battlefield at present, to be honest, he walked slowly enough, his defense area was north of the Yellow River, even if it took some time to gather troops, it would not be able to reach the battlefield after walking for half a month from the beginning to the present, not to mention the emperor's personal expedition, that is, the general festival commander holding the Jieyue, this degree is too contemptuous, but at this moment it has become a tiger riding trend, and his army has become the only hope for the Zhou army to save the defeat today.
"Yesterday's report was that there are still thirty-five miles away, and I will leave this morning, and it will be dark to arrive, and besides, it will be ......."
"Besides, even if you arrive, you are tired and hasty......" Chai Rong sneered and interrupted Zhang Yongde's report.
"Shi Yan-" In an instant, Chai Rong had already made a decision.
"The end will be ——!" On the right side, there was the sound of an urn and an urn.
"Give you three commands, go and save the right army-" Chai Rong's words were extremely simple and crisp, without any delay.
"Whew-" The answerer did not hesitate, and then a rapid hoof sounded, followed by the sound of urns and the shouting of urns: "Wang Zhongbao, Han Chongyun, Liu Guangyi, follow the general flag of a certain family-"
Chai Rong's voice floated coldly: "You give me an hour, I give you a double festival......"
Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin glanced at each other.
Before they could react, Chai Rong had already drawn his saber with a swipe on the ground.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't have time to say more, just nodded at Zhang Yongde, and while pulling out the horse lance hanging on the horse, he shouted: "Ma Renyu, Liu Qingyi, Wang Zhengzhong, Liu Shouzhong, follow the master-"
Before he finished speaking, his war horse had already rushed out, and the two hundred Imperial Warriors under his command had already moved forward......
Several generals who were called by him shouted shouted and led their troops to follow, no one asked why, and no one looked at the face of Zhang Yongde, the commander of the Chinese army.
Because their emperor is only one horse's head slower than Zhao Kuangyin.
The generals of the Chinese army are all stirring up one by one, as long as they are soldiers, they can already sit still at this moment, but Zhang Yongde has not spoken, and Zhao Kuangyin has not called them, although they are so anxious that they seem to be boiling oil, but they also have to strangle the war horses who feel the tense atmosphere and can't help but snort and snort, and look at Zhang Yongde with anxious eyes.
Although Zhang Yongde's face was pale, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and this Lieutenant Ma, who had always been known for his generosity and kindness, didn't look at Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, who had already rushed out of the array, and his two eyes were just staring at the direction of the right army of the Han army.
Yang Guangyi, the deputy capital of the palace closest to Zhang Yongde, hesitated and asked: "...... the Marquis of Yangqu?"
"Zhao Yuanlang is measured—" Zhang Yongde sharply interrupted Yang Guangyi's questioning.
He turned his head and said, "Liu Qingyi stayed behind to sweep the formation, and the rest of the troops followed me out of the formation to attack the enemy's left formation!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, his war horse had already run out.
Tieliu, which was mixed with two infantry horses, opened a distance of about one or two hundred paces from the left and right in an instant, and swarmed towards the black-pressed Han army.
On the west side, the Khitan army was arrayed, and Yelu Dilu asked Yelu Huge: "How?" ”
Yelu Hugo smiled: "Why does the marshal ask the last general? ”
Yelu nodded slightly, shook his head and smiled, "It's time......"
……
"Why is there an emperor in this world?"
Regarding the question of Director Wei's idiot who can no longer be an idiot, the more than twenty big-headed soldiers in front of him were full of ignorance, and Wei Xun could clearly see the countless little stars flying and lingering above their heads.
To be honest, even Wei Xun himself feels brainless about this problem......
Why is there an emperor in this world, isn't this nonsense? If there is no emperor in the world, will the world still be the world? Without the emperor, where does the imperial court come from? Without the imperial court, where does the government come from? There is no government...... Is the world not messed up?
When asked by Li Wenge, Wei Xun replied like this.
So in the past few decades, there have been emperors, courts, and official offices, why is the world still chaotic?
This question was asked too deeply, and the No. 3 person of the Eighth Route Army was dumbfounded and speechless on the spot.
Also, the emperor has changed a lot over the years, the court is still there, and the government is also there, why is there still a shortage of soldiers?
Wei Xun couldn't explain this question, but Wufu also had the cunning of Wufu, he swallowed for a long time and spit, and finally answered an answer that he felt was quite decent and in place.
That's because the previous emperors were not good, and when the adults became emperors, the world would naturally be peaceful......
This answer should be regarded as the answer with the highest "ideological and political level" among the Eighth Route Army at present.
This is also Wei Xun's second "persuasion" under the subtlety, the first persuasion was voted back by Li Bin, Wei Xun has been beating the drum in his heart, although Li Wenge did not make more criticism of his arrangement after he came back, Wei Xun still felt that Li Wenge's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him. He thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out some way.
Persuade this kind of thing, civil officials to do it, then you have to pay attention to the name of the right, the best thing is to have an auspicious or something, step by step to follow the procedure, first what to do and then what to say, otherwise just like Emperor Zhu of the Great Liang back then, too anxious to eat ugly, inevitably laughed by the world; This is one layer. As for the persuasion of the generals, it is another way, just pull a flag and wrap it around the adult, although this is a commonly used method in recent years - the first emperor is said to have obtained such a big position - after all, there is a forced meaning in it, although the emperor who ascended the throne on the surface is reluctant, in fact, the upper and lower are colluded, and his mistake is that he should not act without asking the adult, the adult may not be unwilling to be the emperor, but he is kept in the dark by his subordinates, even if he sits in the heart of the country, he may not be happy. He is also the head of the military who holds the real power of the military in his hands, and he has not been unsuspicious since ancient times, and he acts so recklessly and authoritarianly, if the adult is a provocative person, he is afraid that he will have his own head when he comes back. The adults are kind, and they can't be persuaded to do this kind of thing without knowing what to do, and before they do it in the army, they must first get an understanding from the adults before they can do it, which is another layer.
So that time, he took the opportunity to answer the question to test it a little.
It's just that for his half-tentative answer, Li Wenge's rhetorical question made him even more confused......
There must be an emperor, you Wei Xun can be a very human and a feudal party?
Wei Xun had to admit that this unfathomable question of the adult really confused him.
Extremely many...... To be honest, Wei Xun has thought about it, although it is still relatively vague, he has been working with adults for so long, and his official promotion has been swishing, and now he is asked to give up this feeling of being in a high position, but it is not easy.
Wei Xun is an ambitious person, it is estimated that the adults also see this very clearly, and his old man has never shied away from this question, in Wei Xun's heart, he vaguely feels that the adults do not seem to be very disgusted with this point, although it is not easy for a marshal prince to see it so clearly.
As for the feudal side...... This heaven and earth ghosts and gods can be proven, Wei Xun never thought that he was not modest, but with his cultural level, it is really not possible to figure out what "feudalism" is all about at this moment. Wei Xun's first encounter with this word since his birth was the "Feudal Sparse" compiled by civil officials a few days ago, which made him vaguely realize that this word seemed to represent an absolutely extraordinary meaning.
Wei Xun didn't dare to answer this question, he was a little flustered......
Li Wenge didn't ask, but threw out another question that made him nod like a chicken pecking rice.
Do you think that if you follow me, you can mix with the feudal side of a very human minister?
Wei Xun is not stupid, he shook his head at this time, doesn't that mean that he is not at ease with adults? The conscience of heaven and earth, don't say that he Wei Xun has never dared to have such a rebellious thought, even if he has, does he dare to shake his head at this time?
Li Wenge smiled: "That's it, since you can mix with a feudal party, what's the use of me being a tasteless emperor?" ”
Wei Xun's mouth is crooked, the emperor is such a thing, it is actually "tasteless", what kind of logic is this?
Li Wenge: You want me to be the emperor, if I die, who will be the emperor for me?
Wei Xun replied quickly: Naturally, he is the son of an adult......
Li Wenge: Do I have a son?
Wei Xun: ......
Li Wenge ignored Wei Xun's black lines on his head, and said to himself: Don't say that I don't have a son at the moment, and I may not be able to have a son in the future, even if I have a son, is he qualified to be the emperor?
Wei Xun's mouth was wide open, unable to answer.
It's not that he doesn't know how to answer, but he is really confused by Li Wenge.
Li Wenge: You are convinced that I am the emperor, it is in exchange for real hard work, my son has not worked or contributed, and he has become the emperor for no reason, are you convinced?
This time, without waiting for Wei Xun to answer, Taiwei Li shook his head: Anyway, I'm not convinced - why......
Is the captain talking back?
Wei Xun couldn't see it.
Then Li Wenge muttered to himself: If you want to have the ability or not, if you want to have qualifications or not, if you want to have no prestige, if you don't have anything, why should you be at the national level as soon as you come up? Lao Tzu is a human being in two lives, and this is the most crooked......
Wei Xun was speechless......
After a long time, Li Wenge breathed a sigh of relief: Okay, Lao Tzu is not as knowledgeable as you...... If you want my son to become a topper, then you have to start from Jiupin and struggle for twenty or thirty years, otherwise if you dare to assert yourself, Lao Tzu will not be able to spare you as a ghost......
Wei Xun: ......
Li Wenge's last sentence made Wei Xun completely dizzy: You go and revise the constitution, from today onwards, literate soldiers in the army will have to add a subject to their coursework - it will be called the emperor...... Oh Imperial Power Branch, teach everyone the truth of not relying on the emperor.
At that time, Wei Xun had a bitter face, how could he teach others things that he didn't understand?
Looking at the wooden sign engraved with the four small italicized characters of "Servant of Huo Guo" in his hand, Wei Chen's heart was numb.
According to Li Wenge, Yanqing Qizhou is the fief of his Li Taiwei Li, and it is the "Huo State", and the Li Shu of the Seven Prefectures are all the people of the Huo State, and they are all officials or soldiers on the ground in these seven states, to put it bluntly, they are all doing things for the people of the Seven Prefectures, and they are also doing things for him Lord Li, they are all servants of the deacons, and from him Lord Li down, everyone has to take the brand to do things, which is called "correct reputation".
Lord Taiwei led by example, and before sending troops to the Northland, he received the first sign.
Under the authority of the Tai Lieutenant, Comrade Wei Xun was willing to attach himself to the tail and received the second brand......
Director Wei got on the thief ship like this.
According to the lieutenant, only those who are rebellious are eligible to receive this brand, and those who receive this sign will be recorded......
There is a ceremony for receiving this sign, a ceremony set by Lord Taiwei himself.
To take an oath......
Wei Xun still remembers the scene when he swore an oath with tears and laughter under the coercion and temptation of Lord Taiwei.
Facing the rising sun, he stood solemnly dressed and raised his right fist to his temple......
It's a weird pose that gives you goosebumps......
Wei Xun has always felt that the meaning of this pose is...... If anyone breaks his oath, Lao Tzu will beat him with his fist......
However, this oath of not being poisonous is not as simple as breaking the oath and being beaten......
The oath says: God has the virtue of a good life, so everyone in the world is the Son of Heaven, I say the Son of Heaven, I say the Emperor! If this oath is violated, I am willing to take the title and remove the official, and I will never be used! V
