Chapter 113: Fleeing North in a Hurry
(Thank you brothers for the tip, recommend support!) )
The sky has been slightly dark, the light rain of early spring has come to the land where the northern country has just woken up from the ice, as the saying goes, the spring rain is as expensive as oil, but for the Huns around this small hill in the second year of the early peace, dozens of miles away from Jinyang, it is even worse for the Huns, the weather is still cold, the light rain has not yet moistened the land, it has been frozen into thin ice, the soaked clothes and armor are attached to the people's body, and the cool breeze blows, the taste is estimated to be a person who does not want to taste.

The rain fell on the top of Liu Bao's head and slid down his cheeks into the collar, and although the cold rain took away the temperature of his body, it could not take away the flames burning in his heart.
Looking at the small hill not far away, there was a trace of regret in his head full of hatred and pain, after all, he was the first time to lead a large army, even if he was as smart as a fox, he still made a lot of mistakes, and let the vanguard cavalry rush into the opponent's position without any scruples without knowing the reality of the other party, in order to save the cavalry trapped in the center, he failed to think calmly at the critical moment, and plunged into the pocket arranged by Zhang Quan, burying thousands of elite cavalry, and the advantage was exhausted.
Just when Liu Bao kept blaming himself, the hills were also bleak and cold, after this battle, the Hun cavalry suffered serious losses, and the rough estimate of fleeing with him was less than 4,000 people, and most of them were frightened, and it is unknown whether they can fight again.
Such a team, in the absence of reinforcements, can all retreat is already burning incense.
Jinyang killed 1,000 enemies in a battle and lost 800 self-losses, counted the casualties, pacified the soldiers, and guarded against the enemy in the depths and shadows, Zhang Quan, who had been fighting for a day, only felt that his mind was tired, and then he understood that the fame was taken immediately, and it was easy to say, and when it was time to lead the army to fight, everything was complicated for her to be a head and two big, and she only felt as if she couldn't stand up as long as she lay down.
The casualties of the 20,000 infantry soldiers as the main force in the Jinyang Battle were not very serious, except for the elite horses of the Hun vanguard at the beginning, some casualties were partly lost, and only a one-sided massacre. The cavalry casualties were very serious, and after the battle, there were only 4,000 cavalry left, which made Zhang Quan feel distressed. What made Zhang Quan slightly relieved was that the Huns left more than 10,000 corpses to join the emperor and fled north, so that after calculating the losses of the offensive and defensive battles of Jiexiu and Jinyang, Liu Bao could collect more than 4,000 defeated soldiers at most.
If it is not my race, its heart will be different, especially an ambitious guy like Liu Bao, the fuse of the five chaotic flowers, it is not too much to scrape the corpse, how can he escape back to the lair, rectify it and immediately order Yang Yanzhao to command the remaining cavalry and Niu Gao and Luo Tong's Yulin army to pursue Liu Bao, Yang Zhi led the army to take over Jinyang.
Wang Hui on the city tower saw everything under the city clearly, sighed, and ordered the guards to open the city gate, and he had moved away from the Taishou Mansion at a very fast speed.
After one night, Jinyang, Taiyuan County, the capital of the state, has changed hands.
Inside the county hall. Zhang Quan sat on the top of the lobby, and after listening to Yang Zhi's deployment and deployment of troops in the city, he nodded and asked Yang Zhi to pass on the order, and all levels should be implemented in accordance with the established plan, and there should be no mistakes.
Zhang Quan said to Yang Zhi again: "Check it again in detail." Those who have merit, reward. The cowardly, punished, those who want to run away or stubbornly resist, are beheaded! In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used, and I need no more to say about this. In short, I want you to know that in the future, under my command, it will be merit and discipline. ”
Yang Zhigang was about to go, but Zhang Quan hurriedly stopped him and said: "Also, the point is to repeatedly restrain and warn the whole army, if anyone dares to disturb the people and plunder the people for no reason, oppress the good, commit adultery, and insult women, they will be beheaded!" "Yang Yanzhao did a good job, and I hope that Yang Zhi will not live up to his expectations this time.
Yang Zhi fought all day yesterday and was busy arranging troops at night. His mental and physical strength worked at high intensity, and although his eyes were bloodshot, he was not sleepy, and his spirit was still excited.
First, he is young and vigorous, full of physical strength, and staying up all night is nothing; Second, from drill to actual combat, he defeated the cavalry with foot soldiers for the first time, and thus truly became a commander with rich combat experience, and his brain was still beating suddenly.
The most important thing is that Yang Zhi was just a down-and-out young man at the beginning, but now in less than a year, he has occupied and controlled the highest capital of Bingzhou with Zhang Quan.
Yang Zhi surrendered his hand and went down the hall with dignity. He was sturdy and burly, with two thick legs, and when he passed by the ordinary Taiyuan officials standing under the hall with his head down, he also twisted his thick eyebrows upside down, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and bluffed all the county officials into fearing lowering their eyelids and shrinking to the side.
Seeing this, Zhang Quan smiled secretly. It's okay, grace and power. When you meet, you don't blame the past, and people will definitely not really be ambiguous about you. As the saying goes, there is coercion, and only then can there be fear.
Just when Yang Zhiyu reported, Zhang Quan secretly issued an order, and asked the system to check the ability of the following cadres, all of them were a group of wine bags and rice bags, and he suddenly lost interest, and chatted a few words hastily to be consoled, as for what they thought, Zhang Quan didn't want to care at all.
Occupy Jinyang, there are still a lot of follow-up things, Zhang Quan could not delay these political affairs, and immediately ordered, "Order Jia Kui to take over as the head of the party and be fully responsible for all government affairs of the party, and order Xie Jin to rush to Jinyang immediately and take over the post of Taiyuan chief history"!
Standing in the wind and rain, Liu Baoben's somewhat boiling mood stimulated by killing and blood gradually calmed down, but he looked around with some doubts, the elite riders who once crisscrossed the desert north, at this moment everyone's faces were full of fear, and they were dejected, he knew that these people were afraid of death, from the look on their faces, and the constantly trembling hands and feet could easily see this, their pride was lost by the battle of Shangdang Jinyang.
But why didn't they run away and surround themselves tightly, because they were their backbone, the little prince in the hearts of the Huns, and he must take them back. Doesn't the Han people have a saying that it is good to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, and after the coming year, it will be a mighty army.
"I must take them back", Liu Bao thought truthfully, fortunately, the first rain on the land of Bingzhou in the second year of Chuping came so timely, and the continuous rain blocked the sight of the Shangdang pursuers, so that the panicked Hun cavalry had a little chance to breathe.
Cheering up, Liu Bao ordered the soldiers to take out the air-dried dried meat they carried with them and feast on the cold rain, and after resting their physical strength, they immediately stepped on the mud and continued to move forward.
Taiyuan County looks like it is sandwiched in a ravine from a high place, the west is the continuous Luliang Mountains, the east is the steep Taihang Mountain, Taiyuan County is out of which the climate is suitable, the rain is sufficient, it is a rare feng shui treasure land in the state.
Liu Bao thought about it, the south is the Shangdang territory, just escaped from the tiger's mouth, it is impossible to enter the tiger's den again, and the north is the Yanmen territory, so it will only go farther and farther. In the end, it was decided to protrude from the sheep intestine warehouse in Fenyang, north of Taiyuan, and run back to Hedong.
The reason why this road was chosen was that the Xiongnu often plundered south from there, and they were familiar with these places, and secondly, it was also the most convenient way to return to Hedong. Liu Bao didn't think that the Shangdang would arrive at the sheep intestine warehouse in advance to intercept it, but in this continuous rainy weather, the visibility was originally low, and in the case that the Shangdang cavalry was not familiar with the road, the most that could be seen in the sheep intestine warehouse was rows of horseshoe prints.
