Jiang Yun successfully escaped from Mobei, and the Great Zhou was still a chaotic army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Jiye led a large army to attack Chongqing Mansion, but he did not plan to complete the battle in one battle, defeat the Shudi Heavenly Army from the front, and then take Chengdu. He arrived outside the Chongqing Mansion in a menacing manner, and immediately put on a defensive posture, and the old man knew very well what he should do. The main force of the Shu army had to be handed over to the imperial army to clean up, and his task was only to hold Cao Hua for the time being, give Ji Qiyun time to support Guanzhong, and increase the pressure on the rebels in Hanzhong.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all, and constantly sent outposts to the vicinity of Chongqing to find out the news, and dragging Cao Hua here was Xu Jiye's only goal.

One side is leisurely, and the other side is a little urgent. The entire northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty is almost entirely in the hands of the imperial court, and how much energy Ji Qiyun can use, Ji Mingxuan, the king of Shu, knows very well. The 300,000 Gyeonggi camp that went to Guanzhong, he could ignore it. Due to the urgency of the situation, there must have been big problems in the quality of the soldiers and the tacit understanding of cooperation. However, Sun Lin's command is well-trained, well-equipped, and commanded the elite of Hanzhong, even if it is temporarily unable to attack Guanzhong due to the obstruction of the dangerous road in Chencang, there is no problem in self-preservation.

The problem is that this kind of stalemate must not last too long, it is conservatively estimated that Ji Qiyun can still form another three or four hundred thousand troops, if it lasts for a long time, the follow-up troops will continue to arrive in Guanzhong, and Sun Lin will fight against at least 600,000 troops with 100,000 troops, and there is no hope of victory at all. The only choice in front of the king of Shu is to defeat the 180,000 troops of the five armies in one fell swoop with the Shu Heavenly Army before the follow-up reinforcements of the imperial court arrive, and after stabilizing the backyard, the two armies can join forces and fight the imperial court.

Before Cao Hua left, he slapped Ji Mingxuan's chest with a clang, and there was no problem in defeating Xu Jiye. But now that they have been holding each other for a long time, there is still no good news coming, Ji Mingxuan couldn't sit still in Chengdu, he rushed to Chongqing Mansion and found Cao Hua. After some inquiry, he immediately sent a thunderous anger at the big tent of the Chinese army.

"What does this bastard Ji Feng want to do? Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, how many meanings does this mean? Ji Mingxuan, who looked quite rough and had a beard on his face, glared at the tiger and shouted: "There is such a big thing, Mingcheng doesn't care about anything, and all the major affairs of the family and the country are left to the stinky kid." If he Jiangnan cooperated with this king, the coalition army would have already been under the imperial city. Helping Ji Qiyun, what good can he do? Doesn't he know that if this king falls, he will be the next unlucky one? This and stupid, stupid! ”

The king of Shu was furious, and the generals in the tent couldn't help but be silent, hanging their heads and not speaking. Only Cao Hua's face remained unchanged, still looking indifferent, and he said calmly: "Lord Wang, please calm down." The world can call, but it can't scold, why bother? He Ji Feng chose to stand on the side of the imperial court, which is actually not a bad thing. ”

"Isn't that a bad thing?" Ji Mingxuan sighed heavily. "When his father was there, Ji Qiyun was the most afraid of Mingcheng, all because the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was stationed in Jiangnan. 180,000 elite divisions, how can this kind of combat power be underestimated? There is such an opponent in plain vain, if this is not a bad thing, this king really doesn't know what a bad thing is. ”

"Lord Wang, Jiang Nan's choice to help the imperial court is not because of how loyal Ji Feng is, but because of his jealousy of the prince. In his heart, my Shu is more powerful than the imperial court, and others are increasing the morale of our army, why should the prince destroy his own prestige? ”

"Empty words." Ji Mingxuan's face was not good, and he said coldly: "This king is not vain, what did you say when you left before?" It's not difficult to win against Xu Jiye, but now? ”

"It's not difficult to win, but the problem is that the teacher has no plans to fight with our army now." Cao Hua glanced up at him, and suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Although the prince is relieved, the last general has already prepared, and he will be able to defeat the enemy army in a few days." ”

------------------------------

Cao Hua played the package ticket again, and no one knew what his plans were. Xu Jiye didn't dare to take this student lightly, he was young at the beginning, when he first came to study, he had already shown amazing military talent, after so many years of tempering the army, I am afraid no one knows how much ability there is. Originally, the martial arts performance held by the imperial court could still be used as a reference, but now it seems that Cao Hua's repeated martial arts performances are nine out of nine, and there is no reference value at all.

Xu Jiye knew that he knew him better than he knew him. Knowing oneself and not knowing the other is a taboo for soldiers, once a real knife and a real gun meet, it is inevitable to tie hands and feet. Fortunately, the purpose is to delay, just stick to the opponent's main force, and try not to fight if you can.

After a few more days, Xu Jiye and the commanders and generals of the four armies under his command gathered in the commander's tent and were listening to the information from the sentinels. After listening, he waved his hand and motioned for the other party to stand down. was about to discuss it with the generals, but saw another soldier running in outside the tent, kneeling down on one knee, clasping his fists with both hands and saying: "Xu Shuai, the enemy general Cao Hua called for battle in front of the camp." ”

Xu Jiye frowned and said suspiciously: "Here you go again?" In the past, it was called once a day, but in the last two days, why do you have to call two or three times a day? ”

Tao Huailiang, the commander of the left army, didn't think so, stroked his beard and smiled: "I think it's in a hurry." The main force of the army was delayed here by us, and the imperial court reinforcements in Guanzhong continued to arrive, and the pressure on the front line was tight. ”

Xu Jiye frowned and thought for a long time, and muttered: "Ben Shuai always feels that something is wrong. Have you forgotten how the vassal armies of King Jing and King Xiang were defeated? Thinking of this, he looked at the soldier in front of him again and asked, "Did you see Cao Hua calling for battle?" ”

The soldier thought for a while before replying: "I didn't see it, I saw that the enemy army in front of the camp was playing the Cao Zi banner, and threatened to ask our army if they dared to go out of the camp to fight Cao Shuai." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jiye was even more suspicious, and seemed to be a little undecided. Tao Huailiang, who had just said in a positive tone, gradually figured out that something was wrong, and he doubted: "Xu Shuai, do you think it will be... ”

"It's possible." Xu Jiye sighed when he heard this: "It's just that I can't be sure, this is where the old man's worries lie." After speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The affairs of the soldiers, they are not afraid of the real or the false, but they are afraid of the real and the false, and it is difficult to predict whether the truth is true or false." Cao Hua has made a good move! In any case, the old man can't let him do the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, you go back and prepare, let's go and explore the truth. ”

When Tao Huailiang heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Xu is handsome and slow, if the whole army goes to battle, a careless battle will expand and it will be difficult to control." If the last general led the left army out of the camp to meet him for a while, Xu Shuai could sit in the tent and be responsible for the overall scheduling. ”

"No!" Xu Jiye shook his head and said, "Cao Hua is an old man and a student, and they can't know each other better. What this man is best at is designing and creating ambush opportunities, and then inflicting thunder strikes, fighting fiercely and quickly. If you accidentally fall into his way, the old man wants to save him, but he is afraid that he may not be able to have time to save him. The left army has 30,000 horses, and the old man can't bet so much. ”

Xu Jiye made a decision, and Tao Huailiang had no choice but to do what he said and return to the camp to prepare for the war.

Not long after, Xu Jiye left 30,000 rear troops to garrison the camp, and personally led 150,000 troops out of the camp to defend against the enemy. Outside Chongqing Mansion, the Shudi Heavenly Army has already lined up, Xu Jiye looked at it from a distance, and felt something different in his heart, these phalanxes are really thin, Cao Hua's soldiers and horses have an army of 200,000, no matter how you look at it, it will not be in front of you. Then there may be only two left, one is that Cao Hua has secretly sent troops to Chencang to assist the elite of Hanzhong in attacking the Gyeonggi camp led by Wu Xiuming, and the other is that he lured him Xu Jiye out of the camp and brought men and horses to set up an ambush.

The more Xu Jiye thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he hurriedly passed the order, ordering the left and right battalions to be on guard and not to move without permission. At the same time, he ordered the front army to move forward slowly and probe the enemy's reality. Just when the herald had not left, the formation in the middle of the Shudi Heavenly Army suddenly dispersed, and a person rushed out of the prancing horse. He seemed to have no regard for his own safety, strangled the dock, and shouted in a deep voice: "Please come forward and talk to Wei Guogong." ”

The battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops were holding each other was huge, and even if that person had already marched into the formation of the two armies, Xu Jiye still couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his voice seemed to be somewhat familiar. He groaned slightly, and then drove his horse forward. The generals behind him hurriedly opened their mouths to dissuade him: "Xu Shuai can't, I'm afraid there will be fraud." ”

"It doesn't matter." After decades of crisscrossing the battlefield, Xu Jiye still has this bit of courage, waved his hand to show that it was okay, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and rushed into the battle like an arrow. After walking in, Xu Jiye recognized that the person who came was Ji Mingxuan, the king of Shu. The king of Shu went to the battlefield in person, so where did Cao Hua go? Seeing this, Xu Jiye was even more suspicious.

Ji Mingxuan didn't have such a complicated mind as him, and it was not his duty to strategize on the battlefield and charge into battle. He glanced Xu Jiye up and down, then clasped his fists with both hands and said, "I can't pay full salutes before the battle, and I still look at Grandpa Haihan." ”

"Lord Wang." Xu Jiye's face was indifferent, and he also returned the salute with his fists, and then said: "When the emperor died, His Royal Highness raised troops to rebel, which not only violated loyalty, but also greatly inconsistent with filial piety. If you stop the precipice at this moment, it is still too late, please think twice. ”

Ji Mingxuan didn't feel funny when he heard this, he wanted to lobby Xu Jiye according to the usual practice, but he didn't want to say that he hadn't spoken yet, so he lobbied about himself first. Ji Mingxuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo's words are very wrong, this king is not for personal ambitions, but for the sake of the temple. Ji Qiyun's identity is doubtful, how can he ascend to the throne? The Great Zhou Dynasty since the founding of the Taizu Ji Fa, has gone through more than 2,000 years, all generations of emperors have done their best, exhausted their efforts to make the country prosperous, the people's hearts are attached, if the king sits back and watch the Ji family fall into the hands of outsiders, heh, this is the great unfilial piety! ”

A sneer appeared on Xu Jiye's old face. "If His Highness refers to the king, it is inconvenient for the old man to say more. But today, His Majesty is the same as the late prince regardless of appearance and temperament, and the Manchu Dynasty is not blind in both civil and military affairs, His Royal Highness said this... It's too self-defeating. ”

I don't know which one is it? It is reasonable to say that Ji Qiyun and Ji Minghui are similar in appearance, and they have the same temperament? It's a ridiculous thing. He Ji Mingxuan is indeed ambitious, and he is looking forward to the throne day and night, but he is convinced of his late brother, if his brother is not dead, he will never move the mind of the same room, and he is willing to be the king of a town to assist his brother wholeheartedly. But that Ji set off... In his opinion, this nephew can't even compare to a toe of his brother, how can such a waste have the ability to sit in the world?

The relationship between the two brothers, Ji Mingxuan and Ji Mingcheng, is ordinary, but whether it is between the king of Shu or the king of Wu and the late prince, the relationship is extremely deep. When he learned of his brother's death, Ji Mingxuan cried bitterly and fainted several times. But after that, he began to prepare for today. The elder brother is righteous, and the elder brother is dead, so it is naturally his turn to sit on the dragon chair Ji Mingxuan.

However, in this conversation, Ji Mingxuan also knew that he couldn't move him, so he sighed helplessly, he hugged his fists and said: "The heart of this king can be learned from heaven and earth." The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are difficult to investigate today, and this king is not to blame, so let go of the battle and see what the destiny of heaven is. ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then at the same time they turned their horses' heads and walked back into their respective formations.

The Great War has begun! In the face of the 30,000 army that was slowly approaching, the Shudi Heavenly Army did not have any intention of evading, and the front military array also advanced forward, with spears behind and shield armor opening the way, and the soldiers of the two sides collided fiercely together like a torrent.

The combat power of the Shu Heavenly Army is worthy of being one of the best among the feudal armies, and the head-on confrontation has not fallen at all. Roaring and fighting, the morale was extremely strong, and there was no timidity that the rebels should have. Seeing this situation, Xu Jiye couldn't help frowning, knowing that today might be a vicious battle.

After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said: "Order, order the cavalry of the left and right armies to advance in a roundabout way, without fighting, as long as it attracts the attention of the enemy, so that it will rush to disperse, thin the battle line, and create an opportunity for our front army to break through." ”

"Order, the archers are ready, behind the front army, shoot their flanks to rush into battle."

"Order, transport the artillery of the rear battalion to the left and right flanks, disperse, and strictly prevent the enemy from ambushing and raiding."

One military order after another was handed down, Xu Jiye was also quite helpless, there was an unwritten rule in the Great Zhou, but in any civil war, in addition to the appropriate use of firearms to bombard the city wall during the siege, the two armies must not take the lead in shelling before the battle. In this era, artillery was like a nuclear weapon in later generations, and deterrence was far greater than practical use. Once used without moderation, the life of the soldier will be greatly damaged. Fighting a war is about winning, not slaughtering, and too many soldiers and soldiers will shake the country's foundation, and will be pointed at by thousands of people.

Of course, there is no such rule when fighting with foreign peoples, such as the Xiongnu, they will never enjoy such treatment, before the two armies fight, they are often bombarded by a burst of shelling, beaten to the ground, and can only fight back after the reunion is close.

After a period of fighting, which lasted for more than an hour, the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the five armies were naturally quite brave, and the enemy army was also fearless, and the two sides were stuck, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while. Suddenly, a "boom" cannon sounded, and Xu Jiye, who was standing in the Chinese army, was shocked, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Who ordered the cannon?" ”

The herald galloped over, jumped off and knelt on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Xu Shuai, a large group of military horses has been found in front of the left army, and they are attacking our army. Tao Huailiang was afraid of losing something, so he ordered his soldiers to fire artillery to deter the enemy. ”

Enemy forces are coming? Xu Jiye rode his horse to the top and low, looked at the left army, and saw a group of men and horses in the distance, numbering about fifty or sixty thousand people, who were not afraid of death to launch a reunion with the left army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. In the square array, I saw a red pennant with a big "Cao" character written on it.

It's Cao Hua! Sure enough, it came! Xu Jiye breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart came so fast! However, there was no panic in his heart, but a burst of joy. In battle, I am most afraid that the enemy will keep his back hand, and once he goes out with all his strength and is exposed in broad daylight, it is not so terrible.

Come if you want to come! Let him see how much ability this student has grown over the years.
