Chapter 280: The Purple Gold Tiger is here!
Forgive me, Qu Duan is in the battle report. In addition to a detailed account of the battle, the reassurance of the Ying Jing Jing made it seem that during the retreat of the Jin army to the north, his troops did not follow the orders of the capital to intercept the Jin army between the Zhigu River and the Qinggu River. At the time of the Jurchens' retreat. Wang seems to have driven his troops to the territory of Huayuan County, leaving the battlefield for more than forty miles! Qu Duan thinks. Wang's behavior is no longer justified by "ineffective combat", this is an intention to preserve strength, sit back and watch the stubborn enemy flee, and must be responsible for the failure to overcome all achievements in the battle of Yaozhou. He asked the two divisions to strictly punish the king, and bring the Huanqing soldiers under the direct command of the capital.
As for Qin Fenglu's soldiers and horses, Qu Duanran was dissatisfied. This army rushed from Fengxiang Mansion to the battle of Yaozhou, and he was considerate of the fatigue of the soldiers and the small number of troops, so he assigned Qin Feng's soldiers the task of guarding the flank. However, after three attacks on the left flank of the Jin army, this unit, which had been personally trained by Captain Chong, showed signs of retreat. If it weren't for his own quick decision and shooting the router, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In general, Qu Duan's paper war report is half of the merit. Half blamed. It can be seen that the two directors are half happy and half sad. The good thing is that the Jin army that threatens Jingzhao Mansion has finally been repulsed, but the worry is that the armies are so separated from each other, how will the battle be fought in the future?
He Guan returned the battle report and looked at Li Gang sideways. Why, I'm not wrong with what I said earlier, right? The Western Army's various domineering behaviors have reached the point where they must be rectified. In this battle, fortunately, Qu Duan turned the tide, otherwise it would have been like this to King Huanqing. If it were for other people to lead the army, I am afraid that it would have been crushed by the Jurchen Iron Cavalry a long time ago.
Li Gang didn't seem to notice He Guan's gaze. After thinking for a moment, Kang Sui, who was dealing with his life, said: "You quit your hard work and go back to the front line to tell Qu Shi Yin." There are more than 20,000 Huanqing soldiers, and hasty generals may lead to chaos. All kinds of twists and turns in this battle will be ascertained by the two divisions after the war. Let him hold on to Yaozhou and don't underestimate the enemy. After finishing speaking, he looked at He Guan and asked for his opinion.
He Guan still agrees with Li Gang's statement, although the Jin army retreated for a while, it is still unknown how the battle situation will unfold in the future, and it is self-inflicted to provoke trouble in the front-line army at this time. Therefore, he also said: "Xuan Xiang's words are reasonable, after you go back, convey the orders of the two divisions." Tell the end of the curve. He is the commander of my system, and he has the responsibility of managing the whole army, so he can do it himself
Kang Sui bowed to the two of them and left in a hurry. He Guan also said goodbye and left at the moment and returned to the mansion. Li Gang took the battle report, mixed joy, and returned to the room. I poured a glass of residual wine, but I couldn't drink it. First of all, this is just the words of the Qu Duan family. If you can't believe it all, how things will be after all. It is necessary to wait for the personnel sent by the departments to verify before the conclusion can be determined. Secondly, Yaozhou won the first battle. But Dingrong is still deadlocked, and he doesn't know what the breeder and the Xu family brothers think. Dingrong is about to get out of the matter, and Jingzhao is under the nest, and there will be no eggs.
In the end, he was always at ease. Or Hedong.
Xu Wei sent troops and supported him with full support, and he was right when he mentioned the prison sentence. He has high hopes for Xu Wei, and he helps him from all aspects of finance, material and manpower, and hopes that he will live in Hedong and protect Shaanxi. But now. There was no news from Xu Wei, but the Jin army hit Guanzhong. In a short period of time. It has connected a large number of cities such as Hezhongfu, Tongzhou, Shaanzhou, Danzhou, Langzhou, and Fangzhou. The generals of the Western Army are used to being domineering, and they will not take care of these things, but they are sent from Tokyo, so they must be responsible for their superiors. When the time comes, I am afraid that this black cauldron will have to be carried by myself.
Wan Qishang also said that Xu Wei is now a solicitor, and he has the right to make decisions before the opportunity and act cheaply. Hundreds of thousands of Hedong rebels respected him, as if they were independent of the two divisions in Shaanxi, saying that this was a dangerous message. At that time, I didn't care, I don't know Xu Ziang's character? The banner of "Loyal and Brave Xu Wei" given by the official family is playing? But now that I think about it, I also feel a little worried, the situation in Hedong is already complicated, if Xu Wei is safe. He had a large number of men and horses in his hands to mobilize, plus the troops and horses he had sent out
"No, no! Xu Jiu will not harm me." Li Gang threw the glass of wine in his hand up and drank it.
Whether Xu Wei harms him or not, no one can say for sure, but Li Gang will soon appear, and he is afraid that he will have to carry another person's black cauldron. On the third day of Qu Duan's good news, and possibly the day after Kang brought back the news, Wang seemed to send someone to deliver another report. Originally, Li Gang and He Guan thought that Wang seemed to want to exonerate himself. But at first glance, it is not like that at all. Wang seems to say in the report that after the defeat and retreat of the Jin army, Qu Duan said that he had been ordered by the two divisions to defend Yaozhou, and he himself did not send troops to pursue the Jin army, but asked Qin Feng and Huanqing to send troops. Qin Feng's generals He Fan and Huanqing's Liu Renzhong led their troops to chase and kill the Jurchens, but they were ambushed and defeated by the Jin army in Xiabang County. After bringing the remnants of the soldiers back, Qu Duan said "Fear of death." Under the pretext, he killed He Shifan and incorporated all Qin Fengbing into his troops. Liu Renzhong fortunately returned to the camp of the Huanqing Army first, otherwise he would not have escaped death. Wang seems to say that Qu Duan is tyrannical and wanton, in the name of resisting gold, to carry out the reality of expansion, and fighting with this person is tantamount to sleeping with a tiger. Now that the battle of Yaozhou has been won, the danger of Chang'an has been resolved. He was going to lead the army back to Huanqing to set up defenses.
As if it had been discussed in advance, the report that came immediately after Wang seemed to be Qu Duan's accusation that the other party had led the army to leave without authorization. Li Gang took the case, hated the king and didn't seem to know the overall situation, so he ran away without permission. The second hated Qu Duan acted arrogantly, and Nahe Shifan was under the jurisdiction of Qin Fenglu's soldiers and horses, and he executed a general of this level,... I didn't call the two divisions for a few times. Are you a solicitor? Do you have the bones to help you?"
Li Gang immediately said that he would order a severe reprimand for Qu Duan and Wang Ru. He Guan probably also thinks that Qu Duan has gone too far, even if you are leading the army. The military situation is too urgent to report, but after you executed He Shifan, how did you integrate all Qin Fengbing into your own troops? You can completely set up a division within the power of the capital control, and focus on controlling Qin Feng's people and horses, what does it mean to break up and co-opt? So, He Guan also drew words on the order to rebuke Qu Duan as the envoy of the Shaanxi Sixth Road System. stamped.
Zhanghua, Quduan military camp stop.
After the incorporation of Qin Feng's division, Qu Duan's capable soldiers were close to more than 40,000 people, plus the newly recruited bravery, the total strength was more than 60,000 people. A large corps of this size, placed anywhere, is a force that people dare not underestimate. And after the defeat of the Jin Army, his prestige was great! The people in Fangzhou, Danzhou, and Duzhou, because of the trampling of the Jin army and the defeat of the official army, have ganged up to raise volunteers to resist the Jin. At this point, their best choice is naturally to move closer to the curved end. Late February to early March. Tens of thousands of rebels gathered in Yaozhou, especially the rebels led by Meng Di, Chong Qian, Zhang Mian and others were the largest, with tens of thousands to tens of thousands of people and horses, all willing to listen to Quduan's orders!
On this day, Qu Duan was in Zhang Zhongxiang, the general of Jixin. Accompanied by the two brothers, Zhang Zhongyan inspected the various rebel armies approaching Yaozhou. These rebel troops. Although the equipment is not good. There is also a lack of military training. However, as a place where there have been repeated soldiers for a hundred years, the people here are fierce, and the people in the countryside have practiced martial arts since childhood, emphasizing righteousness and neglecting life. If it can be supported well, it will undoubtedly increase the strength of the Song army. Xu Wei dared to lead a force of more than 10,000 to Hedong several times, why? Didn't he just rely on the hundreds of thousands of righteous troops in Hedong to hear him?
Qu Duan was dressed in bright armor, with a long knife on the handle of a chair at his waist, and a horsewhip in his hand. From time to time, people saluted him. They all waved their horsewhips, which was a response. The nets won. The interest of this meritorious man is low, but the income is not very high. There is no other reason. The sternly worded reprimand of the two directors made him realize a problem, Li Xuanfu and He Shaobao didn't seem to have the intention of completely letting him do it. In addition, the king seemed to disobey his command and led the army back to Huanqing without authorization, which made him very angry.
"Dashuai, I heard that the commission led most of the Jin army, and confronted the Taiwei and the Xu family brothers in Dingrong, and they never started fighting, which makes people so puzzled." After a while, Zhang Zhongyan, who had been arrested by Xu Wei, spoke.
Qu Duan snorted coldly: "Idiot! He actually let the seed master use a little divination, and led many soldiers and horses across the Wei River, and they could not advance or retreat! If I command the Jin Army, what is the way to be a seed master? He said this so loudly that the soldiers passing by on all sides heard it clearly.
The Zhang brothers were really shocked, but they knew that the handsome man was like this, and they didn't care. Zhang Zhongxiang said again at this time: "Qin Feng was originally a five-way strong soldier, but he could take one of the battles of the Taiwei Qinwang, and now he folds another one, and he doesn't think much will be done." Langyan Zhang Shen was attacked by the Jin army back to Yan'an Mansion to be trapped, and the king of Huanqing seemed to lead the army back to the nest. Jingyuan Xu Yide tun troops Dingrong, as for the Xihe, the distance is far away, and it cannot be counted on. After counting these numbers, the only thing that the two directors can rely on is the big handsome. ”
He said this to flatter the chief in order to curry favor with him. But it doesn't feel so close to Quduan's ears. If I hadn't repelled the gold thief, I'm afraid that Chang'an City would have fallen, so what if I killed him? What about accepting Qin Feng's thousands of soldiers? When the two divisions are severely reprimanded?
"But the two ministers don't necessarily remember the handsome." Zhang Zhongyan took over the conversation and said.
When Zhang Zhonghu heard this, he immediately stared at his brother: "Is this also nonsense?" ”
Zhang Zhongyan glanced at Qu Duan, saw him walking slowly with an expressionless face, and said, "Brother." I'm just talking about things, so what's the matter? The marshal was originally in Shaanxi, and the two directors were transferred to Jingzhao to be under control, which sounds glamorous, but what is the reality? How many handsome guards who put the two divisions in their eyes? If it weren't for the hard work of the marshal and pulling the troops, would Yaozhou have been able to win this battle? It's ugly. If the Jin army is driven out of Shaanxi, several marshals only want to protect themselves, and they are afraid that they will still sit in their positions. And what about my handsome? There's not even a place to stay! ”
The end of the song in front of the second voice network suddenly stopped! Turn around and keep an eye on him! The Zhang brothers knew that they had lost their words, and hurriedly confessed! But seeing that Qu Dashuai clenched his teeth, his face was angry, he took the horsewhip and whipped it in the void, and walked away!
That night, Qu Duan issued an order in the capacity of the commander of the Shaanxi system, and in view of the fact that the enemy in Yaozhou had been repulsed, the Shaanxi Mansion was temporarily safe. The defeated army retreated to Huazhou, and the Jin army had all gathered in Shaanxi-Hua Road. I should lead my army to the battle!
This military order is tantamount to abandoning Li Gang's order to "stick to Yaozhou". Of course, if he really led the main force of the Preparation Division to rush to Shaanhua and the Seed Division, the Xu family brothers and others would start a general battle. It is also a tactic to defeat the enemy. What is puzzling is that Huazhou is directly east of Yaozhou, and it is just a matter of crossing one leg.
However, Qu Duan led a large army, first going north into Fangzhou, which had been swept by the Jin army, and then suddenly turned west. Entered Xiangle County, Ningzhou, and was less than one hundred and fifty miles away from Qingyang Mansion where Wang Rutun was a soldier! When Li Gang heard the news, he knew that something was wrong", just when Shaanxi was in chaos, the situation in Hedong was a fog, and no one knew what happened to Pingyang, and no one knew whether the rescue troops sent by Li Xuanfu had achieved the task or not. Except for a few people who believe that Xu Wei must have held Pingyang, but it seems that he can't get out of the siege, everyone else is afraid that they have forgotten about the more than 10,000 people from Shaanxi and Siduzhen a few months ago. Although in this army, there are Xu Wei, Yao Pingzhong, Wang Yu, several generals who have become famous in recent years.
Hezhong Fu, Yongle Town.
Although the Jin army had taken the entire territory of Hezhong, it was located on the east bank of the Yellow River, so after the commissioner took control of Hezhong Fu, it mainly defended the pontoon bridge on the west bank, one was to ensure that the road between the east of the Shaanxi River was unblocked, and the other was to prevent "ghosts" from coming from the east of the river. And this area on the east bank of the Yellow River. He only arranged a small number of rangers, and this was only after the existing people peeked into the river defense from the east of the river.
Yongle Town is not far from the big river, located at the corner of the Yellow River from north-south to east-west.
Ben is one. The folk customs are simple, and the small party is peaceful and quiet. However, as soon as the Jin army came, the town lost its former peace and tranquility, and the people fled to nearby Shaanzhou to avoid disaster, but soon Shaanzhou also fell, and the people fled back to Sangcui. Suddenly, a golden army of rangers was stationed in the town. There were about two hundred people. In addition to patrolling every day, it is convenient for the town to drink wine and eat meat, and every once in a while it scourges the people and spoils the women. The people in the town have no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to the earth, and they can't escape. I can't walk, I tremble every day, lest a braided and bald Beiyi suddenly break into the house with a spew of alcohol.
This is a private house in the northeastern corner of Yongle Town. It's a three-generation family. After escaping back from Shaanzhou, he closed his doors and windows every day, never went out easily, and hid all the women at home. Don't dare to show your face. At this time, the family took advantage of the opportunity for the Jin army to ride out of the town to patrol the defense. Quickly boiled the pot of noodles, and a family of six was eating in the kitchen. You can't be too hot, you have to eat it quickly, otherwise, even if the rangers out of the town don't come back, the smoke that floated just now may attract the Beiyi left behind in the town!
The grandfather put a few pieces of meat turned up in the bowl into the grandson's bowl and whispered: "Eat, when you are old and strong, you will join the army."
"Dad, I heard that someone is secretly recruiting rebels to start an uprising! Otherwise," said the man with the bowl of the sea, his eyes lit up. But before he finished speaking, he was touched by the Hun family next to him, and he swallowed back the words that followed.
The old man listened to it, and he couldn't eat the noodles, so he put the bowl down and sighed: "It's also that I'm old and overwhelmed, otherwise, I will throw myself into the army of the old breed." Kill him a few golden dogs too! ”
After the magazine finished speaking, there was a sudden loud sound! The family's movements stopped at the same time, except for the ignorant baby who was still greedily swallowing the noodles. Looks like the door was kicked open?
"Quick! Hide with the baby! The man reacted quickly, got up and picked up the pile of firewood and grass behind the stove, and pushed his wife and children in. Just after he covered up, two Beiyi, who were bald and braided and wearing iron armor, broke in. He had a moon-like scimitar hanging from his waist and an iron spear in his hand. When they came in, they saw that the whole family was standing still around the stove. Except for the man, everyone else bowed their heads. One of the golden soldiers said something, and no one understood it except his companion anyway, and then he took the gun and pulled away from the man, and went to the stove to take a look. picked up a bowl, saw that there was little clear soup in it, and there were few oil stars, so he threw it on the stove and opened the pot to see. I searched around but didn't find anything good. The golden soldier seemed impatient and said again. Look at the expression like scolding. After scolding, without warning, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar and slashed at the old woman who was so old that her back was stationed!
As soon as the man saw it, he dodged and bullied him almost at the same time, blocking in front of the old mother, and then the "mother" shouted out. But the knife was not cut down, and the golden soldier holding the knife saw the shocked appearance of the family, looked at each other with his companions, and laughed wildly!
The old lady was so frightened that she shouted "Amitabha" If the Buddha can save you, then the Zhao Guan's family who retreated to Jianghuai will not need to raise soldiers, just worship Rulai.
Seeing that he was being played with by the other party as a beast, the man was anxious, and scolded: "These Qiuyi beasts, Lao Tzu,"
Although the Jurchens couldn't understand Chinese, they knew by looking at each other's expressions that there was nothing good about ironclad, and they raised their knives and wanted to split! But he was pulled by his companion. He was furious and was about to ask. But I saw that my companion looked different! The two golden soldiers stood there for a moment as if they had been immobilized, and then turned around in unison and rushed out of the room like dogs!
The family who survived the catastrophe looked at each other. Are these two Jurchen birds a magic barrier? How do you turn around and leave? The man didn't have time to think about it, so he ran over to pick up the firewood and grass, and said loudly: "Quick! Go into the back room! Daddy, you hide too! ”
Several people panicked, hiding in Tibet, and finally covered up, the man heard the noise outside, so he ran out of the door, only to see that on the stone road in the town, the Jurchen cavalry was shouting and rushing out of the town. When the horse army swept over, the original lifeless eyes suddenly came alive, and the houses along the road. Many people opened their doors and windows and poured into the town, chattering fiercely about something.
The man squeezed over and asked the person who was the most cheerful: "Brother Wang, what's going on?"
"The officers and soldiers are calling! The officers and soldiers are calling! The eldest brother of the Wang family jumped to his feet and shouted. In an instant. Thunderous cheers!
The man frowned, tried his best to clear away the noisy troubles, and asked in a loud voice, "Calling from the West Bank?" ”
"It's not! From the east of the river! From the east of the river! ”
