Chapter 515: The Western Army Unites

When Wu Xuan and his subordinates flew towards the wall, they had already heard a series of exclamations from the soldiers. He ran to the wall, fled far away, and couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him As a senior general of the Hu'er Army, Wu Lan has seen many big scenes. For example, in the Battle of Dingrong that year, hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides mixed in the narrow area south of Weishui to fight. The scene in front of me is more than it was back then

Looking east, from south to north, everywhere as far as the eye can see, there is a crowded figure, at first glance, it is just a black line moving slowly, where heaven and earth meet. Later, the enemy soldiers had already shown the trend of flying locusts, sweeping the plain in front of Zhuji Pass, which was not unbound, but it had been crowded by the enemy and the countless protruding objects in the sea of people were densely packed, needless to say, they knew that they must be large siege equipment

Wu Lan took a deep breath, and in order to suppress the wild beating in his heart, he knew that with the strength of 6,000 regular troops and thousands of righteous troops, he ushered in the first battle of the enemy Zhu Ji Pass, which was more than ten times more than ten times more than 10 times over, and it was about to break out

"Report to the commander, all the archers, crossbowmen, and artillery have been put in battle positions, and the reserve troops are ready, please ask the commander to show me," the officer who had previously claimed revenge came to report. Although Zhu Ji Pass is a Xiong Pass, it is limited by the terrain, and it is impossible to line up too many troops, so Wu Lan has 10,000 people in his hands, and he can still set aside reserves.

"Command all departments, hit when you get close" Wu Lan did not give too many instructions. The enemy's army is overwhelming, everything is empty, and weapons are the best way to make a sound

The enemy army came from all over the field, and the plain in front of Zhu Ji Pass was overcrowded. The momentum of the Jin-Han coalition army is not strong, it has reached the point where sweat is raining and the joint sleeves are clouds, and Zhu Jiguan looks so weak in front of these hundreds of thousands of troops

Han Chang appeared in front of the army, wearing a horned helmet and wrapped in iron leaf armor, his last wound was obviously healed, holding the handle of the knife tightly in one hand and holding the horsewhip in the other, looking at the Xiongguan in front of him. As early as when he heard that the Western Army had built a pass in Caobei Town, he knew that the next time the war broke out again, this Zhu Ji Pass would become an unavoidable obstacle for the Jin army

When he really saw this new pass, he couldn't help but admire Xu Wei, the general of the defeated army. Although Hu'er was defeated in Dunzhou, he led the remnants to strangle Fengxiang Mansion, and took the opportunity of the two countries to negotiate peace to repair such a Xiongguan here. This guy's eyesight is still good, and this pass is very well cultivated, the wall and the barrier on the high platform rely on each other, and there is a towering Fengming Mountain in the north, no one wants to bypass it

Before the start of the war, he and the senior generals of the South Korean army had discussed the route of the army many times. In the end, it was determined that the main force of the Jin army, with the cooperation of the Korean army, came to attack Fengxiang Mansion, and the main force of the Korean army cooperated with a small number of Jin troops to take the weakest Huanqing. If the offensive goes well, the two roads of soldiers and horses will attack Jingyuan together, leaving Xihe all the way, but the turtle in the urn.

When choosing Feng Xiang's attack point, Han Chang and his colleagues were highly consistent in their opinions, and they both chose Zhu Jiguan. The reason is that the fine work of the Jin and Han armies has already been discovered, and the city defense of Fengxiang Mansion has been updated and completed, and its pattern is the "two trenches and three walls" of Pingyang Mansion in Hedong Province to this day, many Jin army soldiers think of the siege of Pingyang, and still feel afraid, what kind of fortress is it, how many Jin army warriors Chen corpses under Pingyang City, piled up so that after the Jin army took Pingyang, they did not hesitate to raze this fortress to the ground

And if Zhu Ji Pass is taken, the army can trace Weishui to the west and go straight to Dasan Pass, posing a threat to Shukou. At this time, Fengxiang Mansion will either be closed and unable to defend it, or it will go to the plains to fight the male and female, in either case, it will be beneficial to the Jin army

Han Chang put his helmet with a whip, feeling a little tricky about the Xiongguan in front of him. Judging from his years of experience, Zhu Jitai is naturally dangerous, and if he goes to storm the barrier, there is almost no chance of victory. If you want to win the Zhu Ji Pass, you can only break through the 400-step wall head-on, which is the key to determining the victory or defeat

"How? Got an idea? A majestic voice sounded beside him. Han Chang turned his head to look, and then shook his head.

It would not be obvious how old he was, but he was a typical Jurchen figure, with a shiny shaved head, braids behind his ears on both sides, a huge gold ring in his left ear, only a piece of armor wrapped around his body, a scimitar on his shoulder, and a pair of leather boots. Sitting sat a good black horse, with a bow and arrows and spears in his saddle. After a long time on the battlefield, due to the wind and sand, his skin showed the color of iron and steel, and under the two thick eyebrows, a pair of eagle eyes were blazing. It is the fierce general under the command of Wushu, the pioneer of the Southern Expedition, Chi Zhanhui

"Don't worry, you have enough time to plan this level, be sure to take it" Chi Zhanhui threw down this sentence, pulled out the horse and left.

Han Chang felt an unprecedented pressure. His old boss Sticky Han has handed over the military power and is gone to become the prime minister, and he is the only general in Stickyhan's faction who still holds the command of the army. This time, the imperial court sent Wushu's henchmen to Shaanxi and let himself be controlled by him, which was not easy to do. If you can't take Zhu Jiguan and Feixiang Mansion, I'm afraid that you will soon follow in the footsteps of Lou Su and Ma Wu

"Ordered to camp and prepare for the battle of officers above Meng'an, and go to the big tent in the afternoon to discuss matters"

At the pre-war meeting held in the afternoon, Han Chang expressed his views. There was no ingenuity to be found in attacking Zhu Ji Pass, so he could only break through head-on and attack the 400-step long wall. Chi Zhanhui, who controlled him, was also a good hand at attacking the city and defending the city, and he was always the vanguard in the battle of the southern expedition of Wushu, and he was invincible. He also agreed with Han Chang's point of view and decided to concentrate superior forces and attack the 400-step wall.

Just when the battle of Zhu Jiguan was about to break out, in the northeast of Qinzhou, where the Shaanxi Preparation Division was located, in the adjacent Weizhou City, Xu Yuan, the commander of Jingyuan, and Liu Ziyu, the preparation and placement division, were engaged in a confrontation.

When Xu Wei ordered Jingyuan to prepare for battle, and once the wolf smoke rose again, he would wave his army into Qingyang, Xu Yuan knew that he would be an important force in this counterattack, and it could even be said that it was the key to deciding victory or defeat. Jingyuan soldiers, then Huanqing will be protected, if Jingyuan waits and sees, Liu Guangshi will be finished

With such importance, Xu Yuan's warlord habits were exposed. He ignored his cousin's orders and did not respond in the slightest. When Liu Ziyu arrived in Weizhou, he did not close the door, but when Liu Ziyu mentioned to him to send troops, he shirked in every way.

And the reasons he gave were very high-sounding. He said that he had already returned more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to Liu Guangshi, and Huanqing had enough strength to protect himself and did not need his help. On the contrary, it is Qin Feng all the way, and he will definitely face major pressure, and Fengxiang Mansion will bear the brunt. In order to control the safety of Si and Xu Wei, and to prevent the Jin army from tracing Weishui to the west, he believed that Jingyuan should always pay attention to Qin Feng all the way, and once Qin Feng was lost, he Jingyuan soldiers would go south to help in the war.

Liu Ziyu unceremoniously pointed out that Qin Feng doesn't need Xu Jingluo to worry about it, the Xianggong has already made proper arrangements, and he doesn't dare to say anything else, there is no problem in sticking to it, even if he takes 10,000 steps back, there is really a mistake, isn't it still two Xingfeng Yang to appease the division? Wang Yan is not a dry eater, Xu Sheng and Xu Hong are still holding 20,000 male soldiers in the area of Dasanguan and Shangyuan, and they can respond to Fengxiang Mansion at any time.

Xu Yuan still insisted on his opinion and refused to carry out the orders of the Institutional Division. At this moment, Xu Wei's commandment reached Weizhou, and whoever dared to play tricks in this counterattack would do whatever it took to get rid of the other party, no matter who it was

Everyone knows that among the three commanders in Shaanxi except Xu Wei, Liu Guangshi does not have the strength and qualifications to argue with the Cabinet Division, Yao Pingzhong is an active supporter of Xu Wei, and this commandment is clearly aimed at him Xu Yuan. The cousin's rare tough attitude this time made Xu Yuan shocked and angry.

Shockingly, Lao Jiu really made this chicken feather an arrow and sent such a strong signal, did he want to break with my brother? Business?

The angry thing is that Yu Gong and I am the most powerful road in Shaanxi, and Yu Gong I am your eldest brother, how can you talk like that? What if you're a makeover? The official residence of the Sprinkle family is only half a level shorter than Xu Churen, and you should give the elder brother the awe he deserves

"Father, Liu Ziyu is here again." Xu Yan, dressed in casual clothes, stepped into the second hall of Jingyuan Shuaiji and reported to his father, who was napping.

Xu Yuan opened his eyes, picked off a piece of eye feces from the corner of his eye, stood up, stretched his waist for a long time, yawned again, and then said vaguely: "Come on, invite him to serve tea in the hall, and see you when Ben Shuai is free." ”

Seeing his father's statement like this, Xu Yan rarely showed worry. The reason is that Uncle Jiu's words are too hard, no matter who dares to play tricks, he will do whatever it takes to get rid of the other party. There is no room for this, even when the third uncle was in power, he didn't say so

"Dad, really don't you want to send troops?"

Xu Yuan glanced at his son and said with a smile: "I didn't say it, wait and see." ”

"But if you wait any longer, Liu Guangshi will be finished, if Huanqing is lost, Uncle Nine will not be able to ......," Xu Yan said.

"How? I don't believe it, Xiao Jiu dared to move on my head, when I led the troops in Shaanxi, he hadn't given birth yet," Xu Yuan didn't wait for his son to finish speaking, and he had already cut off angrily.

Xu Yan nodded frequently, and sat down: "That's that, Uncle Jiu, the envoy of the system, also took advantage of the loophole, and it just so happened that the imperial court had some opinions on his father, otherwise, which round would get him?" ”

"Hmph, it doesn't matter what the system is, he should be, but if he wants to dictate to his father, he is still a little short of waiting for the Xu family's turn to be in charge" Xu Yuan sneered.

Xu Yan echoed a few words, and said: "But I think what Liu Ziyu said still has some truth. Whether it is Huanqing or Qin Feng, as long as there is a loss along the way, Jingyuan will be exposed. If something happens on both sides, we will be in the middle of the enemy's attack. ”

Xu Yuan stopped talking, he has led troops for decades, and this can still be seen.

After thinking about it again and again, he instructed: "You go and ask Deputy Marshal Wang, let him go to receive Liu Ziyu first, and then he will arrive as his father." ”

In the Jingyuan Shuai Sihua Hall, Liu Ziyu did not look irritable because of several fruitless persuasions, still holding the teacup, tasting it carefully, and waiting patiently. He had expected this situation before he came, Xu Yuan, that's it, he really has to be proactive, and he doesn't know what idea he has to play.

"Yan Xiu." A cry came.

Liu Ziyu looked up, quickly got up and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Zhengchen." ”

Wang Yu strode out, the two sat down next to each other, looked around at no one on the left and right, Wang Zhengchen whispered: "No progress yet?" ”

"Well, that's to be expected." Liu Ziyu behaved calmly.

"It's not a way to drag it down, I'm afraid Huanqing won't be able to hold it." Wang Yu said worriedly. Then the conversation changed: "I think this time the system has a tough attitude, but it may be difficult to make a difference if you blindly use force against our handsome." ”

Liu Ziyu smiled when he heard this: "So the husband is both soft and hard." ”

"The hard ones are seen, but the soft ones are not?" Wang Yu wondered.

Liu Ziyu patted his chest and smiled without answering. Just then, Xu Yuan turned out of the back hall, and both of them got up to salute. After the ceremony, the guests and hosts sat down, and Xu Yuan spoke: "Senator Liu is still here for the matter of sending troops?" ”

"Of course, Xu Jingluo will not send troops for a day, and the next official will not leave Weizhou for a day." Liu Ziyu was half joking and half serious. "This is a death order from the Prime Minister to the lower officials."

Xu Yuan smiled: "My cousin still has some meaning, so he specially asked you to stare at me." ”

Liu Ziyu didn't reply, stood up, took out something from his arms, and handed it over. Seeing this, Xu Yuan asked, "What is this?" ”

"The handsome man will know at a glance." Liu Ziyu offered it with both hands.

Xu Yuan frowned, took the thing and looked at it, but it was a letter, and there was nothing on the cover. He opened it in confusion, took out the letter and unfolded it, and felt comfortable just after looking at the head of the row, "Brother Yide."

Coughing and straightening up, he put one hand on his knee and held the letter in front of him with the other. This is a handwritten letter written by Xu Wei to him, in which Zijin Hu did not give him an order as an envoy, but an ordinary letter from home.

First of all, Xu Jiu mentioned that when he fought against the enemy at the Zijin Pontoon Bridge and fought hard with the Jin rebels for a few days and nights, Xu Yuan led his troops to help, and the two brothers met again after many years.

When Xu Yuan saw this, he couldn't help but sigh that time had flown by, ten years in the blink of an eye. At the beginning, this little cousin was not as weak as the crown, and he held the Purple Mountain with thousands of village soldiers and a small number of forbidden troops, and he was stunned to block the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops and could not move forward.

Subsequently, Xu Jiu mentioned Xu Yuan's help after he arrived in Shaanxi. For example, when he went to Hedong to calm down, it was Xu Yuan who led the army to guard the Shaanhua Road for him, and he never complained, and he always remembered it.

After reading these words, Xu Yuan's heart became more and more comfortable, you kid finally haven't forgotten the benefits of your brother.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Wei's words changed sharply and talked about the situation in Shaanxi. It is said that the brothers of the Xu family all hold the handles of the army, and the children of the Xu family are united, that is, the Western Army is united, one is prosperous and one is lost, and no one can be transcendent. He also said that with the prestige and qualifications of the eldest brother, he is already a veteran general of today's Western Army, admired by generals from all walks of life, and should set an example for the children of the Xu family.

Xu Yuan read it again, then read the letter again from the beginning, then shook the letter, and smiled at the two people in the hall: "Look at it, this is the person who is the envoy of the system, and writing a letter is also a side reference, tracing back to the past and the present." Subsequently, he forwarded his cousin's private letter to Wang Yu for seeing, and then for Liu Ziyu to read.

In fact, Liu Wang and the others are very bright, Xu Jingluo wants them to know, do you see, when it is really an emergency, Xu Wei still has to come to ask me for help?

Liu Ziyu looked at it, and pretended to be surprised: "I don't want to make such a relationship between Xianggong and Jingluo Xianggong Kunzhong?" ”

"There are many things you don't know, when Ben Shuai led the army to arrive in Purple Mountain, my younger brother was almost exhausted, and his name of Purple Gold Tiger was so loud, and Ben Shuai had half of the credit," Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Liu Wang and the two had a very tacit understanding, and they really touted it, and Xu Yuan accepted the letter. did not make it clear whether he would send troops or not, when he would send troops, let Liu Ziyu retire temporarily, and he would gather the officials of the Commander's Division to discuss.

said that it was to gather Shuai Si Wenwu, but in fact, after leaving the flower hall, he went straight back to the second hall. The eldest son, Xu Yan, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Father, how is it?" ”

Xu Yuan didn't speak, and directly handed him Xu Wei's letter. Xu Yan took it, took a cursory look, and questioned: "In this letter, Uncle Nine didn't give the commandment at all. ”

"You don't know, he issued an order for outsiders to see, after all, he is a system envoy, and he should have his prestige." Xu Yuan seemed very considerate at this time.

Xu Yan heard some meaning from his father's tone, and chased forward and said, "What does your father think?" ”

Xu Yuan was speechless for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Send troops, Liu Guangshi probably can't bear it." ”

Xu Yan heard him make such a decision, and he didn't object, but just smiled: "Uncle Jiu should be happy, he asked his father to agree to send troops with a letter." ”

Xu Yuan glanced at his son: "What do you know?" Is it because of his letter? Huanqing Jingyuan, if there is a problem along the way, it will directly affect my Jingyuan lips and teeth, do you understand? Although your ninth uncle has planted a big heel in Yanzhou, it is not difficult for him Qin Feng to block all the way, in the past two or three years, he has done his best to build a large number of buildings, build passes, and fortify the city defense, and now Liu Guangshi has a straw bag, he will play tricks, and he can only stand up for his father. ”

"What my father said is very true, not because of a letter from Uncle Jiu, but because of the overall situation and for the sake of Jingyuan." Xu Yanfu said with a smile.

Xu Yuan sighed again: "Actually, it's not easy for your ninth uncle, over the years, step by step, it was piled up by military exploits, and it was climbed up by stepping on countless corpses." There are five brothers in the Xu family, he is the youngest, I am the biggest, who will help him if I don't help him? ”

Xu Yan squeezed his eyebrows, and said in a strange manner: "I really admire Uncle Jiu, is there any witchcraft on this envelope?" ”

"You don't talk about cool words," Xu Yuan shouted. "The father also wanted to do it, but he couldn't do it, and his superiors didn't agree. In this case, your ninth uncle is always better than outsiders, he is right, we Xu family children should be united, we are united, and the Western Army will also be united."

Xu Yan didn't know if he heard it, and nodded his head frequently and said yes, and at the end, he asked: "Then who is the main general in this dispatch?" ”
