Chapter 315: Gathering Yaozhou
"But why is the tattoo?" Xu Shengli immediately asked, "Yao Pingzhong has been arrested by Qu Duan on charges of violating moderation, contradicting the superior, and injuring his comrades. His dispatch to ring soldiers and horses was also withdrawn by Quduan. Xu Wei replied.
Xu Da Xu Si thought about it, and he understood. At the beginning, Yao Pingzhong stopped the Jin army in Danzhou, and Zhang Zhongyan arrived before Xu Cheng, but he stayed in Danzhou City and did not immediately rush to help. Later, as soon as he heard that the Jin army was outflanked, he immediately abandoned the city and led the army to retreat west. What is this behavior? To put it mildly, it is cowardice. At worst, it is simply ignoring the lives and deaths of friendly troops. Now, Yao Pingzhong is burdened by Zhang Zhongyan. The army was defeated and returned to Huanqing. was arrested by Qu Duan. But Yao Xiyan is not an ordinary general, he has a background, and to deal with him, he has to be the head of the two divisions, especially Li Gang, to nod.
"Many, Zhang Zhongyan escaped without permission, but he was safe. Yao Pingzhong led his troops to fight. The army was almost wiped out, and he was actually locked up, hehe" Xu Yuan laughed strangely and shook his head with laughter.
And now Li Xuanfu has a letter to ask about Danzhou, obviously not believing Qu Duan's one-sided words. And the surnamed Qu must have expected that the Xuanfu Division would do this, so he gave an order to the Shaanxi Hua Shuaisi. Let us hold on to the pontoon barriers, and we must not lose. Is this a warning to us, be nosy? Xu Sheng analyzed.
Xu Wei nodded, because even a fool knows that the enemy has already rounded around behind your defense line, so what is the use of this defense line? No matter what kind of person Qu Duan is, he still has the ability to fight, and it is impossible not to know this. The reason why I gave such an order was nothing more than what I had to do.
"Ninth brother, what are you going to do?" Xu Yuan asked.
Before Xu Wei could answer, Xu Sheng said again: "If you speak for Yao Pingzhong, it is tantamount to working against Qu Duan."
"Haha!" Xu Wei laughed when he heard this. "Fourth brother, since the incident in Hezhongfu, I have already torn my face with him, and I am still afraid of doing it with him? Not to mention, he had already become a fire and water with his eldest brother when he was in Jingyuan. I have written to the Propaganda Division. The events of Danzhou on that day were explained in detail.
He also pointed out that although Yao Pingzhong violated the festival, the war was changing rapidly, and he could not be rigid, and he was leading the troops outside. Need to be flexible. Qu Duan dismissed him from his post, which is no longer right, and as for arrest and detention, it is clear that he has exceeded his authority, and Yao Xiyan should be released immediately and his original position restored. Then. Deal with Zhang Zhongyan seriously! Mo said that it was Xu Sheng, but Xu Yuan also felt strange when he heard this. The ninth brother has always been low-key and never asks about the things above, why is it abnormal this time? If Qu Duan knew about this, he would definitely hate him to the bone!
"Ninth brother, have you thought about it, why is Qu Duan's guts so big? In Yaozhou, he dared to execute Qin Feng's generals and annex the troops, and in Junyan, he dared to disobey orders and retreat without authorization. Now, Yao Pingzhong has been removed from his post and imprisoned. What he relied on, in addition to the troops in his hands, was He Shaobao's support. In fact, Liulu Shuai's heart is bright, and Qu Duan is He Guan's pawn. Acting as a vanguard for him to unify the six military powers. You poke this letter up. Have you considered Ho Shaobao's reaction? Xu Yuan seems to be a reckless man, but he has been in Shaanxi for most of his life, and he can still see these things thoroughly.
Xu Wei smiled, looking very casual: "This, big brother doesn't have to worry." First of all, although the top is reliant on the curved end, the two chiefs Li He should be clear in their hearts. Their most reliable backing. It's you and my brother. Now, I am taking this lead for Yao Pingzhong, which is tantamount to announcing to Qu Duan that Shaanxi will not be able to do without you. He Shaobao is happy to see this. ”
Xu Yuan and Xu Sheng listened to it, and nodded frequently, there are basically no factions in the six roads, but the ninth brother is clearly a member of the Tokyo faction, and now he has more than 60,000 horse infantry troops in his hands. Why did the two directors always allocate money, food and equipment to him at the first time, and it was not because he was the only one who could be relied on at a critical juncture?
"Yao Gu used to be the marshal of Xihe, and now although he is out of the handsome position, there are many old departments. Yao Pingzhong, like you, is a military minister specially promoted by the official family. Qu Duan couldn't defeat him. He used to have a holiday with you, but now he pulls him and doesn't let him be grateful. At the very least, we should give away our old suspicions. Xu Yuan nodded.
Xu Wei also meant the same thing, no matter how unpleasant he was with Yao Pingzhong in the past. But as soon as he came to Shaanxi, he was the same person. At this time, it is better to stand on the same front and have one more friend than one more enemy.
"Having said that, even if I appeal on his behalf, Yao Xiyan may still be dealt with. In order to let Qu Duan send troops, Chang'an could only grieve Yao Pingzhong first. ”
After hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter." It's one thing whether it's useful or not, it's another thing whether you help him or not. Yao Pingzhong's favor is unsettled. ”
Xu Wei guessed correctly, after his report arrived in Chang'an, Yao Pingzhong was still dismissed from the dispatch of the governor of Huanzhou, and he was demoted from the preparatory envoy to the regimental training envoy, and became an idle official with a vacant title. But the order... Tai Xu Weiwai learned that Yao Pingzhong was wronged, just to let Qu Duan send troops to Xinzhou Xin not to make such a deal. But Yao Xiyan is not an ordinary person after all, and after thinking about it, he added a sentence "Huazhou resettlement" to Yao Pingzhong's disposal
In the Song Dynasty system, officials were dismissed or deposed, and the imperial court would dictate where you lived. What is Huazhou? That was Xu Wei's defense area. He is the governor of Huazhou, and Yao Pingzhong is placed here. First, it is to let him get out of Quduan's moderation and force Quduan to release people. Second, when you are with Xu Wei, there is always a place to use him. Qu Duan was not very satisfied with this disposition. Because the Xuanfu Division did not appoint his confidant Kang Sui as the governor of Huanzhou. However, Yao Pingzhong was dismissed from his post as soon as he was dispatched, which shows that the two divisions have made great concessions, and if they do not send troops again, it is really impossible to say.
After ordering the release of Yao Pingzhong, he planned to send troops to Langyan. Actually, why did he rectify Yao Pingzhong? It's not because of the old grudges when he was in Shaanxi, but because he finally managed Huanqing all the way, and a little lieutenant came out, and he was trained as a handsome minister of Huanqing. How can he be safe? Although the top promised a handsome position, as soon as the Jurchens came, it was still a question whether Lang Yanbao could keep it, and the Jurchens would be allowed to occupy it when the time came. What's the matter with me hanging up an empty title? It's still practical, Huanqing is a little smaller, but it is always one of the six roads in Shaanxi.
In early May, before Qu Duan moved a single soldier. First gave orders to the two brothers Xu Yuan and Xu Wei in Shaanxi. Let them gather their troops and prepare for the battle in Yan'an. They were also asked to complete their assembly by May 18 and leave for Yaozhou to join the division. probably knew that Qu Duan and the Xu family brothers did not have a good relationship, and this time he was under Qu Duan's account, and Xu Yuan was still Qu Duan's old boss. Li Gang and He Guan went to the letter separately, with kind words and comfort, and repeatedly reminded us to put the overall situation first.
At this time, Yan'an City was already in danger. This is Zhang Shen's basis, and he is naturally desperately resisting, but after May. The situation is getting worse. Allies are waiting and not helping. Yan'an fought alone, and the Jurchens seemed to have eaten the disunity of the Western Army, without any scruples, and concentrated their forces to attack the city fiercely. All the enemy towers on the city wall of Yan'an were destroyed, countless houses in the city were damaged, and the morale of the people was greatly frustrated.
In addition, in order to ensure a smooth retreat, the Sticky Han faction can lead the army to take the pontoon bridge after completing the Yan Yinshu. In Tongzhou, he fought with Zhang Xian and Wu Phosphorus for a few days. Each has its own winners and losers. Soon, Zhang Wuer will receive a warrant from Xu Wei. Withdraw to the south of Weishui. Yinshuke also seems to have received a military order not to chase after the Shaanxi Chinese army when it retreated.
After taking control of the passage between Shaanxi and Hedong. Sticky Han put his mind at ease. He expected Yan'an to be ke, and even sent troops to sweep away the surrounding Shaanxi rebels. Since Wanyan Weisu invaded Guanzhong, Dan, Du, Fang, Yao, and Tong Prefectures, the rebel army has swarmed. Not only to resist the Jin, but also to protect himself, because Quduan was under the control of the six routes, and after defeating the Jin army in Yaozhou, he became famous, and the rebels from all walks of life expressed their willingness to obey his orders.
After the concubine retreated to Shaanzhou and entrenched in Luoyang, rebels were stationed in each state one after another. Occupy the city. Xu Cheng led 4,000 men and horses to take over the defense, and was ordered by Xu Wei to recruit the rebels into the Shaanxi Hua Shuaisi, but in line with the principle of listening to their own volition, they did not forcibly annex it. But Qu Duan is different, after he "drove Xu Cheng away", he ordered all the rebels who occupied the city to truthfully report their strength and not conceal it. Later, he selected a group of officers from his own army to serve in the rebel army. This move. It aroused the dissatisfaction of some of the rebel leaders, so countless people abandoned the city and left.
When Clay Han made a comeback, he soon occupied the three prefectures of Dan, Lang and Fang, and the Jin army rode out in all directions. Those who left the city and gathered in the mountains and forests often harassed and attacked, and the rebels in Danzhou even captured the city once under the command of Zhang Zongyi. This annoyed Sticky Han. Therefore, the main force attacked Yan'an and sent the division to exterminate the righteous army.
On the tenth day of the first month of May, Qu Duan led Zhang Zhongxiang, Zhang Zhongyan, Li Yanqi and other generals to march to Yaozhou with 30,000 troops. On the same day, the three brothers Xu Yuan, Xu Sheng, and Xu Wei, with dozens of generals such as Zhang Jun, Xu Yan, Yang Rong, Wang Yan, Wu Jie, Zhang Xian, Yang Yan, Ma Tai, and Wu Yuan, set up an army of 40,000 horses, passed through Huazhou, and gathered in Yaozhou by passing through Jingzhao Mansion.
Everywhere they passed, both the military and the civilians, saw that the Western Army had finally made a move, and they ran to call out. When the rebels heard the news, they also waited for it. They also sent people to contact each other and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the officers and soldiers in combat. What is strange is that Qu Duan is the commander of all the armies, but most of the people sent by the righteous army follow the path of the Xu brothers. Sanxu only went out of Jingzhao Mansion, and there were as many as six or seven rebel armies who expressed their willingness to listen to orders. Just because Xu Wei, as the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, is already famous, listen to his orders, at least he is not afraid of being fired.
