Chapter 269: Collect the fierce generals again
Guan Sheng and Han Cunbao had a big battle, and they were also a little sympathetic, and Zhengse said: "My prince is here, and you have seen his skills, why don't you join me to assist my prince in fighting the world?" β
Chao Yong also jumped off the horse and arched his hand: "General Han is strong in martial arts, if my Liang can get General Han's help, he will be like a tiger with wings, and he can also return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous era as soon as possible." β
Han Cunbao also admires Guan Sheng's martial arts very much, and Chao Yong's martial arts are even more appalling, seeing that the two of them sincerely invite each other, he is also a little moved, but thinking that he has eaten Song Dynasty Yulu for many years, he still shook his head and said: "Han also admires the martial arts of the two generals very much, but Han is a general of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is treason, wouldn't it be disloyal and unfilial, and it will be difficult for Han to obey." β
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "The general is also a hero in the green forest, and now the emperor of the Song Dynasty is mediocre, the ministers are in charge, and the people are not happy, and my Liang is reduced to love the people, the general is a righteous plan, and it is a good man's choice to obey my Liang." β
Han Cunbao shook his head and said: "I have received the Song Dynasty's salary for many years, how can I betray it easily, I also know that I am not your opponent, and I am willing to die." β
Guan Sheng said suddenly: "General Han, can we still count what we said?" β
Han Cunbao was stunned for a moment, and said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, so naturally make a number." β
Guan Sheng smiled: "Okay, then we will divide the victory and defeat, and when you lose, you will have to submit to my beam." β
Han Cunbao pouted and said, "When I win, I don't want your head, come." β
After speaking, he went straight to Guan Sheng.
I don't know if the two of them are used to scuffling in the water, but they actually pounced together again.
Chao Yong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the two children wrestling.
"Drink"
Guan Sheng grabbed Han Cunbao's shoulder and pushed him a few steps.
Han Cunbao's face turned red, his right foot retreated, kicked on the ground, suddenly exerted force, and retreated a few steps against Guan Sheng.
The two tossed like this for a while, and finally Guan Sheng relied on his youth and strength to put Han Cunbao on the ground.
After all, Han Cunbao was old, and after fighting with Guan Sheng for so long, he was already exhausted, lying on the ground, panting heavily.
Guan Sheng stretched out his hand at Han Cunbao underground, panting heavily: "We will be colleagues in the future." β
"Smack"
Han Cunbao slapped Guan Sheng's hand, held Guan Sheng's hand, borrowed his strength, and said to Chao Yong on the side: "See the prince." β
Although it is only four simple words, it has already explained the attitude of Han Depositor.
Chao Yong smiled: "My Liang has another fierce general, don't say much, let's go back quickly, otherwise the two generals will be cold." β
After the fight, the two also felt chills, hurriedly summoned their horses, and walked back with Chao Yong.
When the three of them arrived at the battlefield, the battlefield was no longer fighting, and the fast-running Song Dynasty soldiers and horses were gone, leaving only a large number of Song Dynasty prisoners kneeling on the ground, and the Liang soldiers and horses surrounded the prisoners, and the other lined up to guard against the Song Dynasty camp.
When the generals saw Chao Yong coming, they greeted him together.
Li Kui couldn't help laughing when he saw Guan Sheng and Han Cunbao.
Everyone was also forced to endure it, but Li Kui laughed and couldn't help laughing.
Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and said, "General Han will be your colleague in the future, don't be rude." β
Everyone saw that Han Cunbao and Guan Sheng were fighting equally, and they were also very admired, and they immediately met Han Cunbao.
Lin Chong said: "Prince, I'm afraid there are still thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses in the Song military camp, do you want to attack?" β
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "The soldiers have been fighting for half a day, they have become tired divisions, the Song army is heavily guarded, the casualties of the attack are too large, there are still so many prisoners outside the camp, once the attack cannot be taken for a long time, I am afraid that these prisoners will also have different intentions. β
Hu Yanzhuo said: "The Song army has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who have not fled into the camp, if we let them collect the soldiers and horses, the Song army may be able to collect another 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses." β
Chao Yong also suddenly realized: "Then please ask General Hu Yanzhuo and General Hua Rong to lead their troops to continue to pursue and kill the Song army, and make sure that they can't collect the rout today." β
Hu Yanzhuo commanded a team of 10,000 people, and Hua Rong led an army of 1,000 horses instead of Dong Ping in his hand.
The two immediately led the soldiers and horses around the Song army camp and swept back.
The rest of the generals led their men and horses to drive the captives back to the camp.
In this battle, Daliang captured more than 20,000 Song troops.
Li Congji and the four of them watched the Liangshan soldiers and horses retreat, and then they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and they were relieved to see that Cai You had woken up. If Cai You dies in battle, then this battle will not be able to be fought, and they will not be punished by the imperial court.
Li Congji saw Cai You lying there motionless, and said to the doctor next to him, "It doesn't matter if your adult's injury is right?" β
The doctor said: "My lord's armor is fine, after the iron arrow pierces the armor, the flesh is not deep, but when I come back, the horse is bumpy, and the wound is bigger, but it does not hurt the muscles and bones, and the blood loss is not much, so it will be good to raise it for a few days." β
Cai You is likely to faint from pain, of course, this guess doctor didn't dare to say.
"Ahh
Cai You heard that Li Congji and others were coming, so he moved, he also wanted to pretend to be a good man, but the pain in his back still made him moan, and he didn't dare to move anymore, just turned his head and said, "Liangshan thieves have retreated, right?" β
Li Congji nodded and said, "Retreat." β
Cai You breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the camp?" β
"More than thirty-seven thousand."
When he was holding on to the camp, Li Congji had already asked the officers at all levels to count it, but he didn't say it completely, these more than 37,000 people were soldiers and horses under the command of the Ten Jiedu Envoys, and now it can be said that the establishment is chaotic, and I am afraid that the combat effectiveness is not as good as the 20,000 people they have reorganized.
Cai You heard that there were only these horses left, but his face changed in fright, and said, "Then aren't there more soldiers and horses than Liangshan thieves?" β
Li Congji looked at Cai You's face with fear, and hurriedly said: "The army has fled a lot, as long as the lord orders the Guangji Army Zhizhou to collect the soldiers and horses, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be collected back." β
Cai You's face softened slightly, but he said, "Isn't it faster for us to directly collect the rout?" The Guangji army is still more than 200 miles away from here, and they will have to gather the rout and rush again, at least two days, right? β
Li Congji said helplessly: "Just now, the Liangshan thieves sent another team of soldiers and horses to cover up and kill the past, I'm afraid that the routs will be driven dozens of miles away, and we can't collect the routs." β
When Cai You heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Then we can't collect the rout, if the Liangshan thieves come to attack these two days, how about it?" If the whole army pulls out the camp and retreats to the Guangji army, collects the defeated troops, and then comes to exterminate the Liangshan bandits. β
When Li Congji heard this, he hurriedly said: "Without the will of the Holy Lord, withdraw the troops at will, I am afraid that the imperial court will condemn you." β
On this expedition, Zhao Ji attached great importance to it, and personally formulated the march route for the army, so Cai You did not slow down the pace of the army. If it weren't for Cai You who listened to the advice of the Ten Sections and talked to Zhao Ji, I am afraid that the self-righteous Zhao Ji would have formulated the battle formation map.
Since the Song Dynasty, the emperor often gave the generals with the troops a formation map, and the generals with the troops arrived at the battlefield, and set up the troops and horses to fight a decisive battle with the enemy according to the formation given by the emperor.
But many times the information of the imperial court is not accurate, many times after the generals arrive at the battlefield, they will find that the terrain of the battlefield can not be arranged according to the emperor's formation map, change the formation, not to mention that the general general does not have the courage to resist the order, there are often the emperor's supervisors in the army, and most of these supervisors are "conscientious", eunuchs who want to be arrows with chicken feathers, how can they agree to lead the army to change the formation map given by the emperor without authorization.
So the general could only ignore the terrain and set up a formation according to the formation map given by the emperor, and the result can be known. It can be said that many times the defeat is caused by the emperor's formation, so after arriving in Tokyo at the tenth section, he explained the benefits and disadvantages to Cai You in detail, so that Cai You could stop the high-spirited Zhao Ji with his holy grace.
Previously, when Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng led the troops to conquer Liangshan, they were all sent by the ministers, so there was no supervision army and formation map. And when Gao Yu led the troops, Zhao Ji thought that Gao Yu could succeed and exterminate the Liangshan bandits, but he didn't pay much attention. But this time, Zhao Ji knew that the four Kou were in turmoil, and his Great Song Dynasty was already a little stormy, so he had to pay attention, so he carefully formulated a marching route for Cai You.
Cai You couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, he also knew that Zhao Ji was really angry this time, and this time he had discussed with the generals of the Privy Council for a long time before formulating a route, if he withdrew like this, I am afraid that Zhao Ji would really not be able to spare him.
In the past, they also thought that the world was peaceful, that is, they had done something wrong and offended Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji would not really ask them for their crimes. But now that Zhao Ji knows that his Zhao family's world is no longer stable, he will definitely not indulge them anymore.
Li Congji saw Cai You's hesitation, and hurriedly said: "Although our army is smaller, as long as we can't hold out, the Liangshan bandits will not be able to attack it." As long as it holds on for a few days, the Guangji army will be able to gather the defeated troops to support, and it will not be difficult to rectify the troops and horses and exterminate the Liangshan bandits. β
Cai You raised his head in pain, stared at Li Congji, and said, "Liangshan thieves really can't attack it?" β
Li Congji nodded hurriedly and said: "With Dazhai holding on, the Liangshan thieves will definitely not be able to attack." β
Cai You was still not at ease, and turned his head to look at the other three jiedu envoys.
The other three hurriedly nodded their heads as well.
They also knew that the emperor was furious and scared the civil and military officials to the point of urine. This battle is the first battle that the emperor wants to sweep away and consolidate the country, if they easily retreat and go back, Cai You may be able to rely on the emperor's favor to protect his surname, but they are likely to become the victims of the emperor's killing of chickens and monkeys.
The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and civil officials abandoned the city and left, perhaps just derogatory and exiled, and the surname can generally be saved. Fang La attacked Hangzhou, and Zhao Ting, the governor of Hangzhou, abandoned the city and fled, and finally fell to the Jiyang army. However, their military attachΓ©s did not have such good treatment, once they were defeated, what awaited them would inevitably be endless impeachments by the courtiers, and in the end, most of them would end up in a different place.
Cai You saw that everyone said this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then please ask the four generals." β
After speaking, he asked his relatives to take his token and send an order to the governor of Guangji Army.
