Chapter 65: The Ministers Are Ineffective
Xie Bow is very capable, but after all, he is a civil official, and he is also a halfway monk when he fights or something, and when he saw Youlai's army appear in front of the formation, he noticed that they were different from what Su Yun said, and he gave the order to attack excitedly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As long as this gang of recklessness is exterminated, Hebei will completely return to the rule of the imperial court, which is also a great achievement for him, although he does not like to compete for fame and fortune, but he is still happy to accept real military achievements.
Cen Peng has always been by Xie Gong's side, he has been in the army for many years, of course, he can see the true strength of You Laijun, but he didn't open his mouth to remind him at all.
The 100,000 Xuanhan army was also very arrogant, when it was still the Green Forest Army, they fought in the south and the north, and when they came to Hebei, they destroyed Wang Lang without much effort, they didn't look down on the ragged homeless people in front of them, and they bowed and ordered, and they rushed up with a shout.
But as soon as the two sides came into contact, it didn't feel right, how could these homeless people have no fear at all in front of Wang Shi, they were as fierce as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, even if the equipment was much worse, they still greeted them regardless of it, and even three or two joined forces together, hugging their thighs and pulling their hair without scruples.
As the saying goes, the old master was killed by fists, and the Xuanhan soldiers who were full of confidence just now were stunned at once, they were already at a disadvantage in numbers, and now they were disrupted in formation, and the army's spirit immediately dispersed and began to flee backwards.
Xie Bow was still in high spirits just now, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, his army turned around and ran back, followed by a group of bandits wielding weapons, which made him shocked.
"This ...... Are these really homeless people? He couldn't believe it, in fact, although You Lai was not as weak as he imagined, and he was not really strong there, there was still a gap between the quality and the Xuanhan Army, and this situation was not a problem of combat effectiveness, but a problem of mentality.
The Xuanhan soldiers were the first to light the enemy, and they only cared about the attack and did not cooperate at all, and the You Lai army was not fearless, on the contrary, they were afraid to the extreme, and after Su Yun's 200,000 troops quickly swept away the Qing Mu, they immediately chased after them and drove them to this Jedi.
If you don't work hard, you have to die, and they are not stupid, there are 200,000 on one side and only 100,000 on the other, of course, they are scrambling to continue to rush forward.
If Su Yun had led his troops and horses to catch up at this time, he would still be able to relieve Xie Bow before the Xuanhan army collapsed, but his soldiers and horses stopped at the mountain pass and did not make any move.
Xie Gong didn't know about this, he only saw that his army had collapsed in less than half an hour, and he made a decision immediately, and immediately ran towards Yecheng.
This battle was extremely aggrieved, the 100,000 army was shouted and chased by the homeless, and when they returned to the vicinity of Yecheng, nearly 10,000 people were killed and wounded, but the You Lai army rushed out of the Jedi, and it was already the end of the crossbow, and did not continue to keep up.
In the temporary barracks, Xie bowed and sighed, 100,000 elite soldiers were beaten by the homeless people, where can he still hang his face.
At this time, Cen Peng walked over, "Shang Shu don't be discouraged, this defeat is just because of the light enemy, although there are losses, but most of the people are still there, as long as they regroup, they will not necessarily lose." ”
"General Cen, you have been on the battlefield for a long time, so you are naturally more experienced than me, how do you think we can redeem it?" Xie asked hurriedly.
"For today's plan, we must first reorganize the morale of the army." Cen Peng said seriously.
Xie bowed and looked out, didn't he, the soldiers under his command lost their armor and sat on the ground with a disgraced face, looking like a defeated army, "How to reorganize?" ”
"Naturally, I want to practice, Shangshu might as well go back to the city to rest first, recover his complexion and set an example, I just received the news that King Xiao's army has arrived, and You Lai's army has already been scattered, and we will save face on the battlefield when the time comes."
"That's great!" Xie bow's mood finally improved, and when he saw his cloak again, he said to himself: "You should set an example." ”
So Xie bowed and left Cen Peng in the camp, and he led more than 100 personal soldiers into the city.
There is no change between Yecheng and when he left, the soldiers on the city wall are defending in high spirits, and when they go out of the city, their own army is also like this, Xie bowed and sighed slightly, and called open the city gate.
"Huh, there's something wrong with the atmosphere?"
There was not a single civilian in the street in front of me, and the houses were closed doors and windows, which looked really weird.
"Jia Fu?"
There was a person standing in the middle of the road not far away, it was Jia Fu, who had said that he was sick and stayed in Yecheng, he had his hands behind his back and looked calmly at the people who entered the city.
"What the hell is going on?"
Xie Gong already had some bad premonitions in his heart, and the personal soldiers beside him pulled out their weapons and protected him behind him.
"Xie Shangshu."
Jia Fu gave a salute calmly, "Thanks to your care during this time, Junwen bows to you." ”
"What the hell are you going to say?" Xie bowed and pushed aside the guards in front of him and stood at the front of the line.
"Jun Wen has doubts, and I hope Shangshu can answer them." Jia Fu straightened up again and asked in a loud voice, "How can we scholars stand up in this troubled world?" ”
Xie bowed: "Naturally, it is to support the Han family and make a contribution to the stability of the world." ”
Jia Fu: "Then who is Xie Shangshu supporting now?" ”
Xie bowed and bowed in the southwest direction, "Loyal to Your Majesty!" ”
Jia Fu smiled coldly: "But your majesty can't represent the Han family." ”
"Bold!" Xie bowed and shouted, "Jia Fu, you are too presumptuous, Your Majesty is expected to return, and you can't be presumptuous!" ”
Jia Fu shook his head, "Is your Majesty the ambition of the Han family again?" And to settle the heart of the world? ”
Bow: "What do you mean!" Even if Your Majesty is a little slack now, it is because those of us who are courtiers have not done our duty. ”
Jia Fu: "Jokes, nature is hard to change, is Shangshu deceiving himself?"
Xie bowed for a while, and Jia Fu continued: "The king is not benevolent, the minister is not effective, since Xie Shangshu has the ambition to stabilize the world, why not find another master." ”
"Jia Fu, you are the doorman of the King of Hanzhong, could it be that he has bad intentions and asked you to be this lobbyist!" Xie bowed, his eyes condensed slightly, and he stared at him deadly.
"My allegiance is not to the king of Hanzhong, and he already knows it."
Xie Gong gasped, and now he had guessed in his heart, "It's Liu Xiu!" ”
Seeing that Jia Fu didn't deny it, Xie Gong suddenly laughed wildly: "Thinking about it now, I'm afraid Liu Xiu has already rebelled, right?" That's why I have been procrastinating, and I don't dare to go back to Wancheng to be sealed, I'm afraid that this time my army will defeat Longxi Mountain, and it is also his calculation! I really have no eyes to believe his nonsense! ”
"Alas!" Jia Fu shook his head: "Why is Xie Shangshu persistent? In terms of background, the son is not inferior to Liu Xuan, and in terms of strategy and benevolence, it is the difference between heaven and earth. ”
Xie bowed and snorted coldly, "One day is a minister, and one life is a minister, how can the throne be child's play!" ”
Jia Fu sighed again, but didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back, and a cold man walked out of the alley beside him.
"Wu Han! How are you here! As soon as Xie bowed, he had already thought of the answer, "Retreat!" Get out of town and back to camp now! His face changed drastically, and he hurriedly gave an order.
