Chapter 892: Who Betrayed Whom?
Hanzhong City was in the camp of the Zhao army, and Yang Wangqing, the commander of the Zhao army, also received news that the commander of the Shu army had sent an envoy. The other party also entered the handsome tent, and Yang Wangqing 'revealed' a smile on his face. The situation in Baishui County, he naturally knows better than the Shu army, and he also got the news earlier than the commander of the Shu army in Hanzhong City about the situation that happened in Baishui County the day before.
"It seems that the war in Hanzhong is about to end!" Yang Wangqing said with a smile to Zhao Kang, the general of the First Town Army of the Forbidden Army, who had returned from Nanzheng County.
Zhao Kang also said with a smile: "This is all the plan of the Grand Governor, and the last general did not expect that the commander of the Shu army would take the initiative to bow to us." Even their boss is assisting us, can this Hanzhong war not end? It seems that the Governor of the Metropolitan will be responsible for this siege in the future. ”
Yang Wangqing said with a smile: "It's okay, since General Zhao wants to take the initiative to ask for help, this matter of breaking the city will be 'handed over' to General Zhao." ”
"Haha...... Rest assured, after midnight, the Governor will need to rest in the city. The war in Hanzhong is over for the time being. No matter how annoyed Situ Che was, the war would not have sparked in Hanzhong. ”
Although Yang Wangqing and Zhao Kang were extremely excited, it was not difficult to see that after getting the news, they were also relieved. As Qin You said to Jiang Wenbo before, Zhao Jun's biggest problem now is grain and grass materials. It was not easy to transport supplies from the south of King Yongzhou. Far from being transported from the rear by the Shu army, and by no Han army from Jingzhou to the west. If the war in Hanzhong can end soon, it will be a great good thing for the entire Zhao army. And the land of Hanzhong can also quickly enter the recovery stage.
In the evening, Jiang Wenbo's personal guards, who had returned from Baishui County, hurried to Hanzhong City to report the situation in Baishui County to General Zhenbei of the Shu Army in Hanzhong City. Even if Jiang Poyun knew about these situations, it still made him feel extremely stressed. Compared with Jiang Poyun, the other Shu army generals and officials in Hanzhong City are even more unbearable. Knowing that Baishui County was forced, the reinforcements were ambushed, and the connection with the rear of Yizhou was severed, it was enough to make these officials and generals very anxious, like a thunderbolt from the sky.
Faced with this situation, the generals and officials of the Shu army in Hanzhong City turned pale and did not know what to do at all. Especially those who have some 'dealings' with the county commanders and garrison generals of Baishui County are even more unbelievable. In the entire Hanzhong City Taishou Mansion, after a short period of tranquility, it suddenly became a mess.
"Don't argue, now our Hanzhong City has become a lonely city. We have no other way to go except to march to Baishui County immediately, to open up Baishui County, so that the reinforcements from the south can continue to move north, and to allow us to continue to contact Yizhou. If we continue like this, we will have to wait for death in the city. Jiang Poyun looked at the arguing generals and shouted. At this moment, he was extremely disappointed in these officials and colonels. Seeing the performance of these people, Jiang Poyun understood that even if he wanted to fight back, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Zhao Jun. Even if there is no Jiang Wenbo, this Hanzhong war is mainly based on his own failure. With the death of Feng Yanzhang in battle, the return of those soldiers released by the Zhao army, and the persuasion of the Zhao army, the guards in the city have become frightened birds, and they are unable to deal with the Zhao army at all.
It was also because of this that Jiang Poyun let go of the struggle in his heart and decided to act according to the predetermined plan to abandon Hanzhong City and the Shu army in southern Hanzhong to protect the Jiang clan. Knowing that he can't do it without it, that's a stupid person, at least, he Jiang Poyun has no idea of sending him to death, this is still the situation of dying with his family.
Jiang Poyun decided to personally lead the army to raid Baishui County, and Baishui County was caught off guard. According to his meaning, Baishui County had just won a big victory at the moment, and he definitely didn't expect Hanzhong City to send troops to raid. Therefore, their raid on Whitewater County will definitely be successful. Moreover, taking action against Whitewater County is the only choice they can make at this moment that is beneficial to their side.
"General, there are only 10,000 soldiers in the city, I don't know how many men and horses are needed for this raid?" Hanzhong Taishou Xiao Yuanlin asked with a solemn face. Because he needed to sit in Hanzhong City, he was very worried about the safety of Hanzhong City after Jiang Poyun left.
Jiang Poyun said in a condensed voice: "Five thousand is enough!" Even if Baishui County is occupied by the Zhao army, the county commander and the garrison generals of Baishui County surrender to the Zhao army, but not everyone below is willing to submit to the Zhao army. Therefore, as long as we raid Baishui County and cause 'chaos' and 'chaos' in Baishui County, we will definitely be able to let these soldiers fight against the Zhao army with us. Besides, this Baishui County is under the jurisdiction of our Shu army, we have been here for more than a few months, and our influence here is much stronger than that of the Zhao army. Don't forget, there are young men in the city who have been trained by us. ”
"In addition, even if those reinforcements were ambushed by the Zhao army, not all the soldiers had been completely wiped out by the Zhao army. If we take action, these soldiers who were defeated by the Zhao army will also appear. As for this Hanzhong City, although there are less than half of the soldiers, there are still thousands of young and strong people. You don't need to fight, you just need to hold the city. Although there are thousands of Zhao troops in the north of the city, it is not easy to break the city. ”
Seeing Jiang Poyun say this, Xiao Yuanlin could only suppress the worry in his heart. Now, Jiang Poyun's choice is also a helpless move, if they don't attack, they will really become a turtle in an urn and a bird in a cage.
"That is it, then the general wishes the general a successful raid on Baishui County!"
Gradually, night fell, because during the war, not many people lit the lamps, so the whole Hanzhong City was dark except for a few lights. Because it was necessary to guard against the Zhao army in the north of the city at night, the Shu army in Hanzhong City could only act at night. In Hanzhong City, the five thousand Shu soldiers have already been prepared. The generals and officers of Hanzhong City also came out silently to see each other. Although it was a September night and the weather was not cold, this silent night made everyone feel an inexplicable cold.
In this era, there is no nightlife for the common people. Therefore, when night falls, it means that the people have begun to prepare for rest. After the night gradually deepened, near the south gate of Hanzhong City, there was a sound of footsteps and the sound of horses' hooves.
Soon after, an 'elite' army appeared near the 'gate' of the city. "Zhenbei General Jiang", deputy general "Meng" and other generals loom in the dark, which is very threatening. All around these flags are strong soldiers in armor and holding spears, carrying bows and arrows, and walking steadily.
In front of the army, under the banner of the word "Zhenbei General Jiang", Jiang Poyun sat on a strong horse, dressed in armor, wearing a tasseled helmet and holding a spear. The eyes are bright and amazing, the spear head in his hand is shining, and the sharpness is very sharp. Jiang Poyun was able to serve as the general of Zhenbei, not only because of his background, his talent was remarkable, but also his martial arts. By his side, the deputy general Meng Hao, who was also sent by Situ Che to assist and supervise him, also rode on a healthy horse and went out with him.
He looked up at the west, and then turned to Xiao Yuanlin, the Hanzhong Taishou beside him, and said, "Xiao Taishou, this Hanzhong City is entrusted to you, no matter what, you just need to stick to the city." This time to break through Baishui County, everything will be worry-free. If not, then ...... Then the choice is yours. By then, General Ben may no longer be there......"
After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Yuanlin to have other reactions, he immediately shouted: "Come on, open the city gate!" ”
"Squeak ......" Not long after, the city 'gate' was opened, and the night 'color' outside the city suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Poyun's eyes.
"Let's go." When the city 'gate' was completely opened, Jiang Poyun waved his spear and rode out first. Behind him, Meng Hao and other adjutant generals, generals, and 5,000 soldiers of the Shu army also came out.
Not far from the 'gate' of the city, as thousands of Shu troops left the city, several cavalry also ran north, and then disappeared.
The process of Jiang Poyun and his entourage was very smooth, without alarming the Zhao army in the north, and the scouts did not detect any signs of the Zhao army in the north of the city pursuing, until more than ten miles later, the soldiers of the Shu army relaxed a little.
"It seems that the Zhao army in the north of the city has not discovered us!" Adjutant General Meng Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Jiang Poyun with a smile, "General, are you really sure about this operation?" ”
Jiang Poyun knew that although this Meng Hao was a deputy general, although he was sent by the King of Shu to assist him, he was also sent by the King of Shu to monitor him. And he still wants to go back alive this time, and wants to help himself with the help of the other party's mouth, so naturally he will not 'show' any horses, nor will he show any abnormalities.
"Grasp? What can I be sure of now? Nanzheng County fell, and the defenders of Baishui County surrendered to the enemy. I, the general of Zhenbei, am here, and I am simply an empty shelf, and no one has taken us seriously. This action is also a 'forced' last resort choice, where is there any certainty! Hum...... If these guards could obey our military orders in time, and Hanzhong City listened to our dispatch in time, how could this be the current situation? They poured all their dissatisfaction with the king's disposition of the seal on us, and ignored us, but they could not even do their best to garrison the place, but instead surrendered to the enemy...... Hateful! ”
Although Jiang Poyun complained so simply, he also inadvertently put the responsibility for this defeat on these local guards and officials. Moreover, the reason why they are like this is because they are dissatisfied with the king's departure to seal the strict seal. In this way, in the future, this Meng Hao will report to the king of Shu, and the king of Shu will also focus his main attention on the generals and officials under the original Fengyan chapter in southern Hanzhong because of the Fengyan seal.
"Forget it, don't talk about anything else, let's act quickly, we need to rush to Baishui County before early morning and carry out a surprise attack on Baishui County." At this moment, the night is very dark, and I can't see the situation on both sides. Because he was afraid of alarming the local people or the scouts of Zhao Jun in the surrounding towns and villages, Jiang Poyun did not send spies, and it was very quiet.
"Kill." Dozens of miles away from Hanzhong City, more than an hour after the army was rapidly recruiting, the earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded from all around. In the silence of the night, the roar was especially piercing. Moreover, it came from both sides of the road.
Jiang Poyun, Meng Hao, and the generals at all levels of the Shu army were suddenly shaken, but they didn't wait for them to reflect. On both sides of the road, many torches were lit.
"Whoosh." In the next moment, there were many arrows breaking through the air, dense and troublesome.
"Damn! We're in ambush! How could Zhao Jun be ambushed here? Jiang Poyun's face suddenly changed dramatically, and he shouted.
"How is that possible, who could have expected me to leave the city in advance?" Meng Hao and the others also had a crazy change in their faces, and shouted loudly.
"Flutter, flutter."
"Ah...... Ah......h
"Did someone in the city betray us?" Jiang Poyun inadvertently muttered to himself.
No matter how Jiang Poyun, Meng Hao and the generals and schools change, they can't change the facts. The arrows that were 'shot' from both sides took the 'lives' of many Shu soldiers in an instant. For a while, the arrows entered the 'meat', and the screams were endless.
"Kill!" Immediately afterwards, two loud roars were remembered on both sides of the road, and I saw that in the firelight, many Zhao soldiers, holding spears and horizontal knives, flashed with cold light in their eyes, and strode towards the Shu army, and the momentum was extremely 'fine'. And the Shu soldiers were ambushed, and they were 'shot' by arrows and killed a lot, plus it was night, and the army was 'chaotic' for a while, how could they have the ability to resist the neat and solemn Zhao soldiers on both sides.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h Rows of soldiers fell to the ground, in pools of blood. For a time, the Shu soldiers were even more 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the news from Hanzhong City to be true, your Shu army really attacked Baishui County, and even the commander of the Shu army appeared, it seems that we are waiting here, and we are not waiting in vain. Jiang Poyun, your head will be a highlight in the general's merit book. At this moment, a hearty laugh rang out.
The soldiers of the Shu army were in a state of embarrassment and looked in the direction where the voice came. I saw that in the firelight, there was a flag with the word "Qin". Under it stood a gold-armored general, holding a spear, straddling a majestic horse. In addition, on the flags around the Shuai Banner, there are also words such as the Eighth Town of the Forbidden Army.
"Who are you? How did you set up an ambush here? Who is going to betray us? Jiang Poyun's eyes erupted with fire, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.
Hit the plan, hit the plan. At this time, the deputy general Meng Hao, the partial general Jiang Hexuan and others couldn't help but be shocked. What shocked them the most was that his actions turned out to be betrayed by the internal 'traitors' in Hanzhong City. Hearing Jiang Poyun's question, the others also opened their eyes angrily, waiting for General Zhao Jun's answer.
"Haha...... This general is Qin You, the general of the Eighth Town Army of the Zhao Army's Forbidden Army! As for who betrayed you, you need not know that. You just need to know that you have no way to escape now, and our 6,000 soldiers have already trapped you. And Hanzhong City is also open to us at this moment. Kill me, brethren! ”
"Damn! If you want to take credit for my head, you also deserve it? Brothers, if you want to live, kill me! Our Shu army is not muddy! Jiang Poyun scolded angrily, and a spear was like a storm, killing the Zhao soldier in front. And up, Jiang Poyun went straight to the opponent's main general.
"Kill ......" With Jiang Poyun's roar, Meng Hao, Jiang Hexuan and other Shu generals were also invigorated and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Under the leadership of the generals, the soldiers of the Shu army began to rush towards the ambush of the Zhao army. Moreover, the officers and men of the Shu army actually showed a hint of stability under the leadership of various generals and colonels.
Looking at the performance of these Shu soldiers, Qin You couldn't help but put a smile on his face, and said to himself in a deep voice: "The Shu army can defeat the Han army, there is really something unusual. The foundation of the Yongjun army in the past, the Shu army did not discard it. ”
Of course, even so, the fighting of these Shu troops did not make Qin You feel any worries. Qin You smiled secretly, brandished his spear, and went straight to Jiang Poyun, the commander of the Shu army.
"Kill ......" Jiang Poyun faced Qin You, and the spears in the hands of the two of them suddenly struck each other like lightning.
"Ding ding ding ......" guns on both sides came and went, and the sound of 'handing' was endless. But for a while, it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. And Meng Hao and other generals of the Shu army were also confronted by the captains of the Zhao army and fought each other.
Jiang Poyun and Qin You fought with each other, gradually separating themselves from others. Seeing that there were no other Shu army generals around, Qin You said in a low voice in the midst of the 'engagement' with Jiang Poyun: "We have already done what should be done, among these generals, those are your clansmen, those are your cronies, and those need to be kept?" ”
Jiang Poyun naturally knew what the other party meant, and in the 'engagement' battle, 1510 informed Qin You of all the people who needed to be spared. It is also because of this that Jiang Poyun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party was not treacherous, and after he cooperated with the action, he would give himself another 'stick'.
"It's time for your brother Jiang Wenbo to 'show up', prepare, you have to be injured to better turn back and not be suspected." After Qin You whispered 'Jiao' generation, after gradually pulling the battlefield of the two of them to converge with others, he suddenly shouted, "Jiang Poyun, die!" ”
Qin You's loud shout immediately attracted the attention of the other people on the battlefield. And at this moment, the spear in Qin You's hand hit Jiang Poyun with a "whoosh". This shot was as fast as lightning, and the sound of splitting the air was incomparable, and it hit the opponent's neck. If he was stabbed, the general of Zhenbei of the Shu army would have died on the spot.
"The thief dares to hurt my eldest brother!" At this moment, from the darkness on the side, dozens of people were killed, and one person took the lead, and the spear in his hand hit Qin You directly.
"Flutter ......" Even so, although Qin You failed to stab Jiang Poyun to death in order to quickly block the opponent's spear, he also hit the opponent's arm, leaving a touch of bright red.
"Big brother, we broke through from the south, and the Zhao army's ambush in the south was the lightest!" The person who was killed was Jiang Wenbo, who fled from Baishui County and had not yet had time to return to Hanzhong City.
