Chapter 61: Against Changshe, the Battle of Quality and Quantity (1)
It is said that Zhang Bao was escorted by less than 1,000 people, and rushed to the Changshe after many rounds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With the assistance of Zhang Lan, Zhang Cang, He Yi, Yue Fang, Chen Liu, Ma Yuan, Ma Zhong and Huang Yuan, the general Zhang Liang, the general of Rengong, formed an occupation zone in the northern part of Yuzhou and southeastern Yanzhou with Qiaojun as the center and radiating to Changshe, Chenliu, Ruyin, and Shangqiu. The Taishou of the county no longer knew where to hide.
When the second brother Zhang Bao rushed to the Changshe with the defeated and retreating troops, it was Zhang Cang of the Eight King Kongs under Zhang Liang who guarded the Changshe. This person and Na Bocai were originally apprentices of the same teacher, but there was another layer of relationship between him and the three Zhang Jiao brothers. They were originally brothers of the same clan, and Bo Cai and Huang Shao were also brought down the mountain by him after he was invited by Zhang Jiao.
Regarding the contradiction between Bocai and Zhang Bao, he is also in a dilemma. However, he knew that even if his junior brother Bocai didn't look down on Zhang Bao for one hundred and twenty, he would try his best to help Zhang Bao make suggestions in the battle against the enemy.
It's just that Zhang Bao didn't understand at all when he was attacked by Liu Qian's army, where the army came from and ended his old camp. But fortunately, when Zhang Bao kept gathering the soldiers who had fled back in the process of escaping, he slowly learned that it was another army from the north that quietly crossed the Yellow River, not only attacking his own battalion, but also a very powerful mobile force raiding Bocai who was fighting. Bo Cai and Huang Shao were both killed by the enemy, and the soldiers on the battlefield all surrendered, and only a handful of soldiers escaped.
When Zhang Bao told Zhang Cang about these situations one by one, Zhang Cang's heart "rattled", and he almost didn't faint! He knows the ability of his junior brother Bo Cai and Huang Shao, that is the talent of the generals among the generals, where are the ordinary generals their opponents! I didn't expect to be martyred in the small town of Guandu.
After Zhang Cang hurriedly settled Zhang Bao, he set off for Qian County to report to Zhang Liang.
It is said that Zhang Liang's achievements in the past few months far exceed those of his two elder brothers. He raised an army against Ruyin, and the eight men and horses of the Eight Great King Kongs soon gathered more than 150,000 rebels. The power of the princes in the north of Yuzhou was very weak, and Chen Liutai's troops under Zhang Miao were only five or six thousand, and under the attack of Zhang Lan and Chen Liu, who commanded thirty or forty thousand horses, they had to retreat to Yanzhou with the remnants to join Liu Dai. When the magistrates in Changshe, Shangqiu and other places heard that the rebel army was coming, they had already fled and abandoned the city.
Zhang Liang also inquired about the battle situation on the two elder brothers' side. It's just that the guards everywhere are relatively strict, and the transmission of information in various places is not very well-informed. When he learned that his eldest brother Zhang Jiao was defeated and retreated from Guangzong, it was two and a half months after Liu Qian defeated Zhang Jiao in Yecheng.
The troops of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao suffered heavy losses, and less than half of the more than 30,000 elite soldiers remained. Fortunately, some soldiers were recruited into the army and some of the soldiers were replenished.
――――
It is precisely because of Liu Qian's appearance in this world that history has slowly begun to change from its original trajectory. Zhang Jiao's premature defeat, Bocai did not appear on the battlefield of Yuzhou, and died in the battle of Guandu, and the northern battlefield became a one-sided trend from the beginning because of the input of Liu Qian's army, and there was no situation in history where the officials of Leling, Nanpi and other places in the early stage of the Yellow Turban Uprising fled, and the rebels occupied the prefectures and counties.
――――
After learning the news of the defeat of the eldest brother, Zhang Liang immediately sent someone to Guangzong and asked the eldest brother Zhang Jiao to return to the county to preside over the overall situation. Unexpectedly, not long after the person left, the second brother Zhang Bao was defeated again, and the Bocai brothers were both martyred on the battlefield. The eldest brother and the second brother were both defeated in the hands of the same army, and it seems that this army should not be underestimated!
In the side hall of the Qianjun Mansion, Zhang Liang sat on the main seat, supporting his head with his arm, and bowed his head in contemplation. On either side were sitting the Eight Great King Kongs under his command.
After a while, Zhang Cang saw that Zhang Bao had been bowing his head and was silent, knowing that he was still thinking about countermeasures, so he suggested: "General, although the Great Sage and the Digong General were slightly stronger than each other at that time, they can't think that Liu Qian's army is invincible and good at winning more with less!" ”
"From a distant point of view, do you want to concentrate our forces and engage in a big battle with them?" Zhang Liang asked. (Endorsement in the book, this cangbiao is far away.) )
"Not bad! Since the beginning of the war, the Great Virtuous and Good Teachers and the Digong General have been repeatedly attacked by the officers and troops. They don't have as many men as we do, which is one of the reasons for their defeat. Now we have more than 300,000 men and horses under more than a dozen sides, plus we can mobilize a part of the nearly 200,000 men and horses of the Runan Pengtuo Division. With four or five hundred thousand men and horses, we should be able to win against his army of only 100,000! Zhang Cang explained seriously.
"Peng Tuo's men and horses are now holding off against Zhu Jun, if some of them are mobilized over, will it affect the battle situation in Runan?" Zhang Liang said with some concern.
"According to the intelligence, Na Zhu Jun was able to compete with Peng Tuo, mainly due to the local armed support. Although the two sides are in a stalemate stage, our side still has more soldiers and horses than the other side. When the time comes, as long as Peng Tuo sends tens of thousands of horses and horses. Zhang Cang said.
"Good! That's it. You go down to arrange, the soldiers gather in the Changshe, and wait there for Liu Qian's team to come and send him to death. Plus, Big Brother is coming. After the eldest brother arrives here, let the eldest brother put on a nine-palace array, which will inevitably send this clan of the Han Dynasty to hell. Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said.
……
Besides, Liu Qian reorganized the Yellow Turban rebels outside Guandu City and conducted training for more than a month. He attaches great importance to the mastery of intelligence, after all, he has traveled from modern times and knows that intelligence is a key to winning wars.
Xu Shu has not been born in the past few days. All the information sent in every day is processed by his hands, and then some information that affects the overall situation is sent to Liu Qian, and after receiving Liu Qian's instructions, he is carrying out the next step of intelligence exploration according to the instructions.
The concert sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital, had arrived, and Liu Bei took Yang Huai to follow Liu Qian's instructions, or went to Zhang Rang's mansion to give a heavy gift, and handed the concert directly to Zhang Rang's hands. Under Zhang Rang's arrangement, Liu Bei entered the palace to face the saint.
Emperor Ling was very happy to learn that his imperial brother was so brave. Immediately canonized Liu Qian as the general of Pingnan, received the title of Sanpin, and had the right to canonize his subordinates from the general of the fourth rank, and even named Liu Qian's army as the Pingnan Army.
also learned that Liu Bei was also his own clansman, and immediately summoned Zongzheng to find out that he was also his own clansman. Emperor Han Ling looked up and saw joy today, and looked down to see joy, not to mention that joy. Canonized Liu Bei as the general of the Fu Army, received the title of Sipin, and assisted Liu Qian to quell the chaos together.
When they first came to Kyoto, Liu Bei and Yang Huai circled in Luoyang for a few days.
On this day, Liu Bei and Yang Huai said goodbye to Zhang Rang and prepared to return to Guandu. As soon as he got out of the door, he saw a group of people in the distance, and there was a prisoner cart in the team.
If you don't look at it, this look didn't scare Liu Bei out of the horse! What's going on?
It turned out that the prisoner was not a bystander, but Zhonglang General Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan, his own old teacher. He didn't say hello to Yang Huai, and directly hit the horse to the front of the team, blocking the way.
When the leader saw that someone was blocking the way, he beat his horse over, saluted, and asked, "Why is this brother blocking the way?" Do you know that the people in my team are courtiers? ”
"This general, in the next is the newly canonized Fujun Zhonglang General Liu Bei Liu Xuande is also! The one you escort is my mentor. I wonder if you can make an accommodation and take me to worship the teacher? Liu Bei was very worried at this time, and he didn't know what crime the teacher had committed.
"It turned out to be Lord Liu, please!" Listen to this soldier, okay? Four products! This is not something you can provoke! If you want to see it, you can watch it! Anyway, it's a prisoner in the imperial court, at the foot of this Son of Heaven, I'm afraid that you will let him go?
Liu Bei hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, came to the prisoner car, and asked the reason. Lu Zhi said: "Since Yecheng parted, Yuan Shao and I took soldiers and horses to surround Zhang Jiao in Guangzong. There are a lot of horned demon arts, and Yuan Shao and I have challenged many times but have not won. The imperial court sent Huangmen Zuo Feng to inquire and ask me for a bribe. I am short of military rations there, and where can I bribe him? That's why I said, 'There is still a shortage of food in the camp, so where is the surplus money to pay tribute to the angel?' This guy had a grudge in his heart, and after returning to the court, he said that I would not fight at a high base, and I would slack off the morale of the army. The imperial court sent Zhonglang to replace my military power with Dong Zhuolai, and escorted me back to Beijing to be questioned. ”
"Master, I am also an official of the court now. Now the saint is still enlightened, and he believes that the court has its own public opinion. The disciple also has to return to Guandu and work with my brother to exterminate the rebels. I just don't know how Yuan Shao is now? Liu Bei comforted Lu Zhi with relief, and asked Yuan Shao by the way.
"Because of the disagreement between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, he has already led the troops to go." Lu Zhi said.
When the general saw that the conversation between the two was over, he and the sergeants went into the city in a crowd of Lu Zhi's prisoner cart.
……
The book is brief, and Liu Bei and Yang Huai returned to Guandu with the holy decree.
Everyone was happy to learn that the lord Liu Qian was canonized as General Pingnan.
Liu Qian immediately raised his account and canonized the generals under his command. As long as the seal is reported to the court after the canonization, everyone in the seal can receive the money.
Canonized Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, Zhao Yun, and Xu Shu as guerrilla generals, and led the four grades of Yulu.
Canonized Xu Rong, Xu Ding, Chen Gun, Dong Dao, Xue Ji, Han Yue, Zhao Hammer, Fan Jian, Gao Stick, Liu Whip, Mu Li, Tu Bang, Jin Dun, Tie Jia, Zhou Cang, Yang Huai, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan as partial generals, and led the Wupin Yulu.
After the canonization, Liu Qian arranged for people to hold a banquet to celebrate, and the whole army celebrated.
Everyone is here to celebrate, not to mention it for the time being.
Here we will mention the two people who were left behind in the plains, who are they? Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao.
These two people, since they were recruited by Liu Qian to surrender to Cheng, their loyalty to Liu Qian was very low. But the night before the day they took over the plain, Liu Qian summoned the two into the inner room and talked with them for nearly two hours.
Liu Qian knew that the two were sleek people. Therefore, I know that the two of them see their lives more than anything else. If you want such people to follow you faithfully, then let them know that the person who is going to follow them values their lives more than their own.
Liu Qian told the two that they should pay attention to preserving themselves if they stayed in the plain this time, and it was best to retreat if they encountered a large number of rebels. If the officers and troops arrive, retreat immediately. The current officers and soldiers don't all want to understand the truth in this way. If you are not careful, those officers and soldiers will hand over these people who have surrendered as merit in order to ask for merit.
These words really captured the hearts of these two people.
When Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi, he heard that the defenders of Pingyuan County were two Yellow Turban rebels who had defected to Chengcheng, so he immediately sent his general Hu Zhen to command 5,000 troops to arrest the two.
After Liao Hua got the news, he immediately fled with thousands of his subordinates in disguise. After nearly two months, Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao came to Wuchao with a caravan of less than 1,000 people.
What kind of changes did Liao Hua and others bring? When did this horn arrive at the long club? When did the two armies start facing each other? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
