Tong Guan ordered 30,000 Song troops to slowly march eastward, including 3,000 cavalry troops and 27,000 infantry troops. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Twenty miles northwest of Yanjing, they encountered the Black Wind Rider who was being pursued by the Liao Cavalry.
Liu Biao fled all the way back with less than a thousand people, and although more than 400 Liao cavalry annihilated most of the Black Wind cavalry, they failed to catch up with Liu Biao, and finally could only watch them rush into the Song army's array.
The Liao cavalry was not afraid of the Song formation, held his head high, galloped proudly in front of the Song army, and made shameful and insulting acts from time to time.
Tens of thousands of warriors were filled with righteous indignation and demanded to go into battle to annihilate these arrogant Liao cavalry.
Tong Guan resolutely did not allow it, insisted on advancing slowly, and said in the beautiful name "You hit yours, I beat mine".
In the huge car tent, Tong Guan sharply asked, "Where is my Black Wind Ride?" What about my 6,000 infantry troops? ”
Liu Biao had already thought of his rhetoric on the way back, and he was naturally upright, and he was aggrieved with a handful of snot and tears.
"Taishi Mingjian, it was originally agreed that the winning army would take the north gate and hand it over to me. But Po Han Wu stole down the north gate, not only did he not inform me, but he also ran to fight the imperial city by himself. Forget about robbing the merit, but he shouldn't have given way to the Liao army to attack me from behind, and his subordinates were caught off guard and were besieged, so he fled back. ”
Tong Guan knew the fault of this beloved general, and when he saw that he was full of excuses, he knew that nine out of ten he was shirking responsibility, and he was angry.
"Bastard! Your every move is under the control of a certain person, and you dare to talk nonsense, do you really think that a certain practice cannot be martial? ”
Liu Biao immediately puffed and fell to his knees. At this time, I was going to play some bitter meat scenes, and I opened my bow left and right, crackling and beating the blood in my mouth.
While snorting, he said, "I just want to keep some family wealth for the Taishi, and I am worried that if I get too far ahead, I will be in danger of being eaten by the Liao army, where did I think that Po Han Wu can really take the north gate!" ”
Then he kowtowed again and again, "Bang Bang Bang", his forehead was already red and swollen, and he still shouted in his mouth, "The subordinates are loyal, and there is no half a lie, begging the master to spare his life,"
"You! You're confused! Knowing that the other party is charging in front, why are you hiding so far? Otherwise, why would the Liao army seize the opportunity to fight a war of annihilation? You are too selfish, you just want to pick up cheap, you don't want to contribute, you didn't fight like this! ”
Tong Guan didn't really want Liu Biao's life, and seeing him behave like this, it was also pitiful. still shouted loudly, "A certain is the commander of the three armies, if you don't deal with you strictly, I'm afraid the army will be unstable." Liu Biao, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, you are now demoted to the battalion commander, 30 military sticks, a fine of one year, and then make up for the merits after the injury is recovered. ”
Liu Biao was overjoyed in his heart, this time he passed the test, what kind of military sticks, demotion, and fines were all formalities.
Degraded, the commander can climb to the army commander after a few more battles; There are four or five thousand people under his command, and the empty salary is 1,000, and half of the salary is paid, and he still cares about the money? It's easier to do it with a military stick, give the executioner ten times, and the cane hand five times, and you'll be done.
Since Tong Guan is gracious, he should have something to reciprocate, "Taishi, when we passed by the east gate, we seemed to see the royal car driving in the direction of Shunzhou"
Tong Guan was taken aback, "Are you sure it's a royal car?" How many? ”
On the way to escape for his life, Liu Biao didn't pay much attention to it, and said by impression; "There are no less than fifty carts, and there are nearly 1,000 guards, so I didn't dare to move."
Tong Guan calculated the time, this was all an hour ago, "You are confused, how can such a big thing be delayed until now?" Hurry up and send someone to chase me! Today, no matter what, they must all be captured, and Yanjing will be lost to the old seed, so don't fight! ”
Tong Guan was anxious, the royal family of the Liao Dynasty, that was the greatest credit. If you can bring Xiao Puxian back to Tokyo, the official family must like it tightly.
Because the road was unfamiliar, he still asked Liu Biao to make meritorious service and lead 4,000 cavalry to chase the chariot, and he led the infantry to march quickly to follow.
After a day, Tong Guan's army stretched for ten miles, and Liu Biao finally lived up to expectations and intercepted the Khitan royal convoy in the west of the Jiuzhang River in the evening.
However, on the other side, 6,000 Yao Gu troops from the south also rushed to the Jiuzhang River and formed an encirclement of the convoy on the east side of the river.
When Liu Biao saw that there was a tiger's mouth snatching food, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Yao Gu to withdraw.
Yao Gu saw the messenger and smiled, "This battle was fought by our own skills, if you want me to withdraw, you can!" But military spending and military merits must not be missing, otherwise you will not be exempted! ”
Liu Biao made meritorious service for his crimes, and now he was robbed half by Yao Gu for no reason, how could he be willing to take a break, and immediately transferred 2,000 cavalry to press up.
Yao Gu is not a vegetarian either, do you fucking think you are the Central Army? Even if you are the Central Army, you will move Lao Tzu's bones, and labor and management will not be mistaken. also mobilized a thousand cavalry to fight against each other, and the two sides actually put the Khitan royal family aside, preparing to meet their subordinates.
In fact, in this convoy, there are mainly civil and military officials who speak peacefully, and there are some side branches of the royal family who are not open-minded, the leader is Xiao Fengxian, as well as Li Chuwen, Zuo Qigong and other Hanchen.
As soon as Xiao Fengxian saw that the Song soldiers were overwhelming, he surrounded himself, and estimated that he would not be able to escape, so he asked Li Chuwen and Zuo Qigong to discuss countermeasures.
Li Chuwen was placed under residential surveillance for more than a month, and his mood was already depressed, and he sighed, "The queen and Xiao Gan sent us to the Southern Dynasty, which is nothing more than a broken tail to survive." Now that we are surrounded by a large army, what else is there to say? ”
Zuo Qigong is in charge of Yanjing affairs, and this time because he was also sent out because of his words, he was naturally even more indignant, "Chicken Si Chen, the country has no peace, the thief is in power, and the country is in trouble!" It's a big deal to vote for the Southern Dynasty! ”
Xiao Feng glanced at him first, "To put it lightly, now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, what are you going to use to vote for the Southern Dynasty?" ”
Zuo Qigong suddenly withered, yes, what do you use to exchange fame and wealth? This team is all idle people who have been demoted to official positions, etc., except for a few old guys who have some fame, and have no real value.
Li Chuwen said, "It seems that the two Southern Korean armies in the east and the west are not one family, and it seems that they are fighting well!" ”
Xiao Feng looked at it first, and sure enough, the two teams of Yao Gu and Liu Biao were tense, and a little spark could cause a raging fire.
Zuo Qigong suddenly thought that these Song soldiers must be coming for the Khitan royal family, but they didn't expect that this was a golden cicada shelling, so it means that they still want to catch Xiao Puxian.
And it is precisely because he knows everything about Yanjing City, including the internal situation of the palace, and he is a living map! As long as the Song army did not conquer the imperial city, it would have use value.
See who of these two wins, and negotiate with whomever you want. In terms of momentum, Liu Biao is stronger, but in terms of distance, he is closer to Yao Gu.
Zuo Qigong had to reflect his importance, so he said on the bridge, "I am the prefect of Yanjing, who is in charge of the Song army here?" ”
These words are like throwing two barrels of gasoline and a lit match.
Yao Gu took the lead in attacking, using the excuse to clear the ranks of soldiers, and the Ma army began to squeeze towards Liu Biao.
Liu Biao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the labor-management black wind ride never suffers, the little Yao Gu still dares to call me and go up!
So, with one push and two shoves, the conflict broke out! (To be continued.) )
