Chapter 156: The Mouguo Conference
The army of Yuekuochaer came from afar, it was late, it was inconvenient to fight at night, the two armies were stationed under the whole Jiaocheng, the military camp of Qingfeng was near the city, the military camp of Yuekuochaer was back to the mountain and the sun, the campfire of tens of thousands of armies of the two armies echoed each other from afar, reflecting half of the sky.
It is said that Yang Shu led the cavalry all the way to the west, avoiding the sight of the enemy, and then turned back, with a number of people and horses, and marched silently, bypassing the army of Yuekuocha'er, and going straight to the city of Chuzhou.
Under the city of Chuzhou, Yang Shu did not send people to investigate, according to the situation that had been reconnoitred in advance, the Goryeo military camp with the weakest enemy strength was selected, and the 3,000 light cavalry of the whole army were commanded to enter the camp, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Cui Haowanhu, the leader of the Goryeo soldiers, had long heard the news of Li Zhe's annihilation of the whole army in Quanjiao City, and now he was frightened, and he had already retreated, and when he saw someone coming to steal the camp, he didn't care about dressing and looking for shoes, he was barefoot and only wore a middle coat, grabbed a bareback horse, and galloped all the way to the east.
Chuzhou generals Zhang Tianyou and Shao Rong, under the cover of Yang's informed cavalry, passed through the city and went straight to the city of Chuzhou.
"The eldest nephew (Guo Tianxu), General Zhao (Zhao Jizu), Hao Dudu has led his troops to break the whole pepper, and now the main force of Yue Kuochaer has gone west to meet the Qingfeng army, Hao Dudu sent the rear army Wanhu Yang to help break the camp, hurry out of the city to break the enemy, Chuzhou to break the siege, at this time!" Zhang Tianyou shouted at the city.
Guo Tianxu saw his uncle Zhang Tianyou and the general Shao Rong coming together, he was convinced, and asked, "Why is my father traveling for Uncle Yu!" ”
"The marshal is still in the Hao Du Du military camp, Hao Du Du invited me to wait for the end of the Chuzhou siege, and ordered General Zhao Jizu to lead the army to attack Yue Kuo Cha'er, Hugh wants to ask more, hurry out of the city to break the enemy!" Zhang Tianyou said anxiously.
Out of the city to break the enemy? How to get out?
Since Guo Zixing personally led the troops to break through the siege and ask for troops, Guo Tianxu was young and afraid of things, and he had already ordered someone to block the city gate.
Countless Chuzhou troops fell out of the city from all sides, echoing each other with Yang's notice to ten thousand households, and for a time, the torches under Chuzhou City were bright, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Yuekuochaer did not have many soldiers and horses left in Chuzhou, and the rout of the Goryeo teammates opened a gap for breaking the siege, and the siege was already ineffective, and the besieged armies on all sides followed suit and abandoned the barracks.
The siege of Chuzhou was solved in an instant.
Guo Tianxu ordered people to abandon the city gates on all sides of Chuzhou, afraid that Guo Zixing would come back and accuse him of being cowardly, and on the other hand, he sent troops to destroy the siege equipment left by Yue Kuocha'er overnight, and fill the trenches dug under the siege, afraid that Yue Kuocha'er's army would attack again.
Yue Kuo Cha'er heard that the Chuzhou siege army retreated, and the opportunity to fight with Hao Ren had been missed, for fear of being attacked by the Qingfeng army and the Chuzhou army, so he could only withdraw overnight, in order to prevent Hao Ren from pursuing, he tied sheep and hammered drums in the barracks, and his subordinates were suspicious and confused Hao Ren, and the army quietly moved closer to Liuhe's army.
At dawn, Guo Zixing came to Hao Ren's station, but was stopped by Wu Liujiu, a thousand households of the guard: "The governor is in the generals to discuss the military aircraft, and idlers are not allowed to enter!" ”
"Idlers? How am I an idler? I am the father-in-law of your governor! Guo Zixing was angry and anxious.
He had already received the news of Yue Kuo Cha'er's withdrawal, but he didn't know that the siege of Chuzhou had been resolved, so he just came to urge Hao Ren to enter the army to pursue Yue Kuo Cha'er.
The news of Yuekuochaer's withdrawal had already been reported to Hao Ren by the soldiers sent to attack the enemy camp, and Hao Ren summoned his men to join the army to discuss how to deal with Chuzhou City and the Chuzhou army.
Hu Dahai said indignantly: "It was the governor's Qingfeng army that broke the siege of Chuzhou, and now it is time to kill Guo Zixing and merge the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou to prevent future troubles!" ”
Since Hu Dahai's family was betrayed to Hao Ren by Guo Zixing and Zhu Chongba, he hated being Zhu Chongba's son-in-law in his heart, so he strongly advocated 'killing Guo Zixing and the Chuzhou army'.
"Guo Zixing and the governor both belong to the righteous army, and now there is no fault, rashly killing him and his army, I'm afraid there are many inappropriate!" Yu Tongyuan said.
"In the past, Guo Zixing once tricked Yue Kuo Cha'er into giving back the captured enemy's horses, and wanted to make peace with Yue Kuo Cha'er, and we used this as a reason to give him a charge of collaborating with the enemy, and it was logical to kill him!" Yu Tongyuan said.
Hao Ren touched his chin, repeatedly played with Yu Tongyuan's suggestion, and killed Guo Zixing on the grounds of collaborating with the enemy, the reason was a bit too far-fetched, and now Hao Ren has grown up in Huainan, and killing Guo Zixing with an untenable reason may be more likely to arouse the jealousy of the titular boss Liu Futong.
"Guo Zixing has now signed a marriage contract with the governor, although it is not related by blood, but after all, he is the elder, killing Guo Zixing, I am afraid that other enemies will create a reason to oppose the governor, Meng Yuan's strength is still strong, with a soldier and horse of the Qingfeng army, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist for a while, leaving Guo Zixing, and may be able to use it as a backup in the future!" Liao Yongan suggested.
Hao Ren really couldn't pay attention to this issue for a while. He was originally a porter of the construction site in later generations, and he had to be eloquent and strategic, so that he would not be patted by a brick at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he accepted these many literati to join the army, that is, to listen to their opinions and choose the good ones to follow.
"What do you mean by joining the army?" Hao Ren asked Liu Bowen hesitantly.
Liu Bowen said loudly: "Bowen stargazing at night, insight into the heavens, now can compete with the governor, only Zhu Chongbaer, now Chongba south, will inevitably come back in the future, now kill Guo Zixing and his army, Zhu Chongba if he plays the banner of revenge for his benefactor and father-in-law, and slanders to compete with the governor, I am afraid that the governor will lose the hearts of the people, and the big thing will go!" ”
Liu Bowen deliberately exaggerated the situation to attract everyone's attention, he paused for a moment, and continued: "Guo Zixing is suspicious and has no opinion, if Zhu Chongba makes a comeback and sends someone to lobby him, Guo Zixing is going to be an enemy of the governor again, and the Chuzhou army must be merged, and the time is not yet ripe at this time." Zhu Chongba's power is now weak, if he wants to recover, it will take time, the governor first used good words to envelop Guo Zixing, and collect the hearts of the military and people in Chuzhou, the military heart of Chuzhou and the hearts of the people are towards the governor, and it is difficult for Guo Zixing to set off a storm. I met Guo Zixing yesterday, I'm afraid his life will not last long, Zixing will die early, his son Tianxu is weak, his uncle Zhang Tianyou is generous, what hope does the Chuzhou army have? The governor can use his title as a husband to take the opportunity to merge with his army, just ask the world, who can have such a good opportunity as the governor? ”
Liu Bowen's words, Hao Ren Mao Tser, according to the history of the stall, Guo Zixing can live for a year and a half at most, he just died, the family property was taken away by his righteous daughter and son-in-law, Guo Zixing's heirs and generals were all killed by Zhu Chongba for a reason.
It is better to kill Guo Zixing than to keep it first, since Guo Zixing is suspicious and unassertive, then appease him, first accept his relatives, the hearts of the army, and the people, and firmly tie the Chuzhou army to his chariot.
"Hurry up and invite Guo Dashuai in!" Hao Ren heard the conversation between Guo Zixing and Wu Liujiu outside the door, and hurriedly ordered.
Guo Zi walked in angrily, and Xingshi asked: "This Wu Liujiu doesn't know how to be polite, how can I be an idler?" "How did he know that Hao Ren had just held a 'Mouguo Conference', and he was the object of discussion. (To be continued.) )
