Chapter 242: Armament Battle

The hand value is not elegant. Wave your sleeves! "Ben Shuai has a good plan. Not your tens of thousands...

Wang Shu chuckled, looked at the ground and said, "It's inconvenient for the marshal to say, then let Wang say it for you." The Jurchens wanted to establish a different surname in Lianghe, and now that the marshal occupies half of the east of the river, Gao Wei annexed the entire Hebei except for the Daimyo, and the Jin people must choose one of the two. And this person, with all due respect to Wang, can never be a marshal. ”

Li Zhi's left face trembled unnaturally, clenched his fists and sneered, "You are here to speak." If it makes sense, I'll save your life, if it doesn't. Take your head. ”

Wang Shu tried his best to calm down, he had heard of Li Zhi's methods, this person was born in the army, ruthless and vicious, and now he is in a Jedi again, and he can do anything. After surrendering to the Jin State, many of them collaborated with the Jurchens to harm the people of Hedong. To lobby such a person is simply pulling teeth out of the jaw. But no toothless, no, if there is no head."

"How is the marshal's territory and troops compared to Gao Shiyu?" After a while, Wang Shu asked.

Li Zhi's face showed disdain: "I am unlucky, next to the purple gold tiger." Although Gao Shiyou said that his strength and territory are better than mine, does he understand military affairs? Among the generals under him, in addition to Gao Xiaogong, how many of them can fight? I heard that last time he sent his son and nephew as generals, and he whimsically went to fight Xu Zhang, and 70,000 people were almost killed without leaving a piece of armor. Even his nephew died in the chaos. That's it, huh! ”

After Wang Shu listened to his sarcasm, he said in a deep voice: "I know that the marshal is gathering troops in Taiyuan and wants to be determined. But even if you take the real determination, what if you even capture Gao Shiyou? Will the Jurchens push the marshal up? Is the marshal 100% sure of defeating Gao's army? ”

Li Zhi was furious when he heard this, and pointed at the other party and said, "Scholars dare to underestimate me!" It's the Purple Golden Tiger. I fought with him from noon until dark, and I was not defeated! Guan Zhang is invincible, I don't believe Liu Bei can't beat me! Besides, Gao Shiyou is also worthy of Liu Bei? "The style of storytelling prevailed in the Song Dynasty, and the ups and downs of the Three Kingdoms gave storytellers great room for interpretation. Some of the stories in the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which were well known to later generations, have already taken shape in this era.

"It's not that Wang underestimates the marshal, but if the marshal insists on going his own way, the final result can only be self-defeating. Even if you kill Gao Shiyou, will the Jurchens let you go? It is better to abandon the past suspicions and return to the court. The officials will not,"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi seemed impatient, waved his hand and said, "Come on, you don't have to say more."

How can this commander not know that you see some soldiers and horses in my hands right now. occupy some prefectures, and use good words to deceive me. Let me be a shield for you to ward off the Jurchens. I'll tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I can't trust you! ”

Wang Shu was stunned and wondered: "I came here on the order of the imperial court, how can it be fake?" Before leaving. Xuanfu Xianggong and,"

It's good that he didn't mention the word "Xuanfu". When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be angry! It's these scholars, looking for chapters and extracting sentences, dancing and writing, they are better than anyone else! I read the books of the sages, but I did dirty things! It will only be rhetoric and empty words! At the moment, Li Zhi almost had the heart to kill Wang Shu. But thinking that this person came on behalf of Tokyo and Shaanxi, if he were killed, it would be tantamount to making enemies on both sides, and it would be of no benefit to what he was doing at the moment. Thinking about this, I don't want to say more. waved his hand and said, "I won't kill you, go ahead." ”

Wang Shu failed to persuade Li Zhi, and left Taiyuan the next day and returned to Shaanxi. After Du Feihu and the others came back, they knew what they knew. The original report was made to Xu Wei. After Wang Shu returned to Jingzhao, he said that Li Zhi had no intention of rebelling and was still quite hostile to the imperial court. When Li Gang heard this, the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, since Li Zhi insisted on breaking the jar and falling. Let's take care of him, let him go with fire, and the Western Army will reap the profits. So He Guan was invited, and the two Shaanxi officials began to plan how to recover Hedong.

In the end, it was decided that as long as Li Zhi was really decided, the end of the Shaanxi Hua Road would be the vanguard and directly win the Weisheng army. Then Lang Yanbing and Huanqing Bing followed up, plotting against Taiyuan, cutting off Li Zhi's back road, leaving him with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground. Let's take Hedong in one fell swoop, give the Jurchen a slap in the face, and beat him with gold stars in the eyes, wouldn't it be happy!

At the beginning of May, He Guan was sent to Huazhou to sit in the town, and the meaning was obvious, he wanted to personally command the great battle to recover Hedong. First, to make meritorious contributions, and secondly, to suppress the Western Army, his military orders will be unimpeded in the sixth road of Shaanxi. In order to show that the Shaanxi and Chinese soldiers were strong and fully capable of being the vanguard, Qu Duan ordered the soldiers and horses of all the states and armies under his command to assemble in the area of Sanyi Mountain in Hezhong Province. It's ready to send troops to Hedong.

The generals of other prefectures were surprised when they received the military order, but Xu Wei was puzzled. When he gave Li Gang advice, he made it clear that if Li Zhi refused to recruit an and attacked Gao Shiyou, the righteous army would "cooperate" with him and beat Gao Jun hard. Moreover, Li Zhi transferred his troops to Hebei, and the Taiyuan area was naturally empty, but the Western Army still did not move, and let the righteous army pinch the soft persimmons. Unless Li Zhi comes back to help, or the Jin army goes south, the Western Army will find another opportunity. This is the result of his discussion with Ma Kuo, but now that Qu Dashuai's order has come down, he directly asked them to assemble and prepare to send troops, so where did the Hedong Righteous Army be placed?

Although there were such doubts, Xu Wei still selected nearly 7,000 elites from the early 20,000 horse infantry of the Hujie Township Army according to the order. Moreover, the officers who commanded the army such as Wu Yuan, Zhang Xian, Yang Yan, etc. They are all Hujie generals, and they quickly assembled to stand by in Sanyi Mountain. It needs to be mentioned here that in the past, when there was no Shaanxi Road, the Dingcheng Army was directly under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao. Only Li Gang can move him. Now that the sixth road is drawn alone, Xu Wei naturally has to obey the orders of the Shaanxi Hua marshal. Because Dingrong was the closest to Hezhong Province, the Hujie Township Army was the first to arrive. Then the Zhang brothers in the river, Xu Sheng from the same state, and Yao Pingzhong from Shaanzhou arrived in 6 years.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the sweat that had just come out was dried almost immediately. At the foot of the Three Doubts Mountain, the company camp stretched, but the weather was too hot, and even the military flag in the camp did not flutter in the slightest. The soldiers hid in the shade of the trees in groups of three or five, or lay on their legs high, or undressed to enjoy the coolness.

A group of soldiers and horses came in no hurry and stopped for about two miles. For one person, it was He Guan, the envoy of the Shaanxi Sixth Road System, who stopped and obeyed, and then beat his horse and galloped up a hillside to look down on the military camp. The Huazhou Army, which is now in charge of Quduan, is standing guard under the scorching sun and practicing, and no one dares to be lazy. Yao Pingzhong and Xu Wei's military camp was also quite solemn, Xu Sheng was second, and Zhang Zhongxiang was again. It seems that although Shaanxi Road was created, it is really the pioneer of recovering Hedong.

Beat the horse down the mountain, go straight to the barracks, there are still hundreds of steps away, Qu read the latest Dong Jie on the wash stream book to dry the fine concave Shan) "Say Qi umbrella taming... Only to pass back up. The sky is hot and hanging, but he is in the warehouse and the shield is neatly draped. When He Guan saw it, he was very happy, and dismounted and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Qushi Yin Zhijun is strict, and when I see it today, I know that it is true." ”

Qu Duan hugged his fists and said: "Shaanxi, China, three states, one government and one army, the soldiers and horses are all here, please read it with less insurance." ”

He Guan waved the horsewhip: "I've seen it!" It's not bad! After finishing speaking, he took the lead in Quduan Zhongjun. When the big tent was settled, not long after, Xu Sheng, Yao Pingzhong, Xu Wei, and the Zhang brothers 6 continued to come to visit.

He Guan really praised and encouraged, and then changed the conversation and talked about the arrangement of the troops. Li Zhi's army has been assembled, and it is estimated that it will be a matter of the next few days. As long as he moves. Shaanxi soldiers and horses entered the east of the river, went straight to Weisheng, after taking the Weisheng army, occupied the south gate of Taiyuan Yuci, there was no need to rush to attack, and the men and horses of Foot Yan and Huanqing arrived later. Li Zhi is now cornered, he is desperate and risked his life, let's beat the mad dog.

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the generals under his account praised him. Duyun was in the river this time, and it was set as the imperial court to recover the lost land. Although Xu Wei didn't pull his face, he didn't frown. But he didn't say a word. He Guan had already paid attention to him, but now when he saw him like this, he asked in the uproar of the generals: "Ziang is silent?" But do you have an objection to the arrangement? ”

As soon as these words came out, who was the most anxious? Curved ends. This entire operational strategy was drawn up by him and then submitted to him. Both the Xuanfu Prime Minister and the Institutional Prime Minister have approved it, and Xu Wei has any objections. Isn't that clearly coming at me?

All the generals fell silent and looked at Xu Wei, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"The system is a minister, a handsome, and a lowly opinion. Do you want to let the Hedong Righteous Army go first? Xu Wei asked.

When the generals in the tent heard this, look at me. I look at you, let the rebels go first? This Xu Jiumo has been the "head of the Hedong Righteous Army" for a long time, and he thinks of the righteous army first in everything? What is the Rebels? That's a group of farmers with broken knives in their waists, occupying the city when they are not fighting, and it is okay to pick up the land. Is it really time to open the sword and gun, and we have to go to the Western Army seriously? What is the use of the rebels?

Before He Guan could speak, Qu Duan had already questioned: "Xu Jiu, is it child's play to recover Hedong?" The use of the righteous army by the imperial court is nothing more than an expedient measure when the forbidden army is beyond the reach of the whip. Now that the party has retired, Shaanxi Sixth Road has no worries. The recovery of Hedong is naturally a matter for the Western Army, so what is the use of the Righteous Army? ”

These words, coming out of the mouth of the Hedong Economic Envoy, are a little awkward to hear. In fact, this is also a true portrayal of the attitude of the generals of the Western Army towards the rebels. The Western Army can fight, and the world knows it. Therefore, not only do they not take other armies seriously, but they also do not treat the rebels as cloves of garlic. It's like the anti-Japanese period in later generations, everyone talks about unity and unity, but in fact, can the regular army look at the guerrillas?

Xu Wei glanced at him, clenched his fists and said, "Handsome." As far as our Shaanxi soldiers are concerned, there is no need to take Li Zhi in our eyes. ”

It was rare to hear him say a useful word, Qu Duan nodded: "Yes, Li Zhi's rat generation, he is vulnerable." ”

"Our army can despise Li Shun, but it can't despise the Jurchens. If the rebel army was not used, but the western army directly attacked Hedong, how could the Jurchens sit idly by? Xu Wei said.

For a moment, the generals in the tent looked at each other. Xu Jiu's words are indeed reasonable, as soon as Taiyuan goes up, it is the former Liao State Xijing where Sticky Han is located. If the Western Army stabbed it in such a swarm, Muhan would never ignore it. Let's go back to Hedong this time, mainly to attack the two reverses and set things right. Of course, if it goes well and you can regain the lost ground, it will be good. If not, don't force it, after all, we are on the defensive now.

Qu Duan saw that the generals were whispering, and he didn't like it. Snorted: "Relying on the majesty of your Purple Golden Tiger, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom returned without defeat, so that the Jurchen vitality was damaged, can he easily send troops?" Besides, with you Xu Wei here, what if the Jurchens come? One more time on Xiaoxi Mountain, you can still beat the golden dog back. ”

This is a bit of a killing, the reason why the Xiaoxishan Hujie Township Army and the Li Jin coalition army are tied. First of all, it depends on the terrain, the place is basically mountainous, and a large-scale cavalry can't be placed at all. But the terrain of Taiyuan is different, although it is surrounded by mountains on several sides, there is a small * plain, just in the south-central part of Taiyuan. When the Jurchens saw that the momentum was not right, they all pressed it down, and the cavalry rushed, what advantage could the Song army have?

"The handsome man is promoted, and he is ashamed to be ashamed." Xu Wei coldly pushed back. He also said, "Li Zhi is now jumping over the wall in a hurry, and he is going to Zhending with the main force, such as Liaozhou, Fanzhou, Weishengjun and other places." Defenses are naturally empty. With the Hedong Righteous Army. Enough to make things happen, kill chickens with a knife? Please make a decision to the prime minister and the marshal. ”

He Guan was speechless for a while, and had to admit it. Xu Jiu's words do have some truth. It's just that although the Hedong Righteous Army claims to be hundreds of thousands, the Righteous Army is always a Righteous Army, and it is not a regular army of the imperial court. nominally accepted the leadership of the imperial court, but in fact, they were all working independently, if Hedong let these people all occupy. Not only is it useless to the imperial court, but where is the face of the Western Army? Moreover, although the righteous army called for loyalty to the king of Qin, it was not uncommon for them to secretly loot behind their backs. Don't be at that time, the court spent money and grain, and the land was not taken back, but a nest of thieves was raised, which is called stealing chickens and rice.

Qu Duan saw that He Guan did not make a clear statement, so he took the opportunity to say: "Xu Jiu, it is good for you to be cautious. It's just that in this marching battle, the most important thing is not to drag the mud and water, and look forward and backward. Not to mention that now Li Zhi is preparing to merge with Gao Shi Yuhuo to guard against emptiness.

Even if he is there, our army will still be able to fight. Shaanxi Sixth Road is currently strong and strong. The power of the ** item can be returned to the color. ”

Yao Pingzhong was rarely quiet, after listening for a while. Although he was extremely disgusted with Qu Duanren, he still agreed: "Qu Shuai is reasonable, even if Mu Han leads the army south to reinforce, our army is not afraid of him!" Ping Zhong, willing to be the former army! ”

As soon as he raised his head, Zhang Zhonghu and Zhang Zhongyan's brothers were the old department of Quduan, so they naturally strongly agreed. Of course, Xu Sheng was interested in his younger brother, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, He Guan patted his knee: "Okay! Since this is the case, then you Shaanhua Road will be the vanguard, just wait for Li Zhi to make a move, and you will directly take the Weisheng Army! Enter the elm times! ”

Xu Wei was about to speak, but he didn't know what to remember. Swallowed the words back. He Guan saw it in his eyes, and didn't say much, and when the tent was dispersed, just as all the generals were walking out, he called: "Xu Jiu stays." (To be continued)
