Chapter 433: The Battle of the Battles (Part II) 4
Dugu Luo nodded and said, "I understand." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Dugu Xin said to him: "Go get a pen and paper, I want to write a secret letter to Gao Bin, we can't follow Yuan Xin to take a peek at the funeral of Yuan Baoju." Dugu Luo responded and went to find a pen and paper. It didn't take long for the letter to be written, and after he finished writing, he polished it again before he said to Dugu Luo: "Go, you go in person, remember to go quietly, come back quietly, don't be discovered." ”
Yuwen Hu learned that Yuan Xin's people occupied and controlled Chang'an, and his contact with Chang'an was broken, and he was immediately very angry, and was about to send someone to ask him what he meant, when Yuwen Liu hurriedly came into the big tent, and the first thing he said when the two met was: "Uncle, what's going on?" Is King Guangling going to rebel? Yuwen Hu was shocked, he also knew about the occupation of Chang'an?
It turned out that there was a message between Yuwenliu and Yao's family twice a day, but today since the morning, it was impossible to contact Chang'an, and it was not until the evening that there were rumors that Chang'an had been forcibly occupied by Su Sui and Yuan Xin's people, Yuwenliu was shocked and came to Yuwenhu to inquire about the situation, and Yuwenhu was also helpless to admit that Chang'an City had lost control at this moment.
Yu Wenliu asked angrily, "Why did King Guangling do this?" Is he going to rebel? What do you want to do at such a sensitive time? Is he an undercover agent on Gao Huan's side? Yuwen Hu didn't know how to answer his questions, but there was one thing he said that was right, King Guangling's doing this was tantamount to rebellion, and the most bizarre thing was that these things were tacitly approved by the emperor, could it be that Yuan Baoju was colluding with Gao Huan? But he thought about it again, this was unreasonable, because Gao Huan was here to overthrow his rule and wanted to send him to Yecheng as a prisoner.
Yuwen Hu really couldn't figure out the strange thoughts of the people of the Yuan clan, but now he had no other way, because once something happened to him here, it would be a big crisis for the whole army to collapse, but he still sent someone to Chang'an to question Su Xuan. Su Sui was also very happy, he directly tied up Yuwen Hu's envoy and beat him and sent it to the emperor Yuan Baoju. After Yuan Baoju asked the reason, he persuaded and comforted him with kind words, and told him to go back and tell Yuwen Hu that this action was all his intention, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Xin and Su Xuan, and asked Yuwen Hu not to think about it, the court also counted on him to withstand Gao Huan's army.
The messenger kowtowed like a chicken running into broken rice, and the emperor rewarded him with a new set of clothes, and the messenger fled back to the Xinfeng camp in a panic, Su Xuan was a little disappointed with the approach of Yuan Bao Ju, he originally thought that Yuan Bao Ju was oppressed by Yu Wentai before like a puppet, and had no autonomous rights at all, and later Yu Wen Hu came to power and shouted at him, and the master and servant were reversed, and now finally Yuan Bao Ju relied on his own guards to eradicate the dark forces and return to the throne, he should be very hated and rejected Yu Wen Hu, who knew that he was so kind to persuade him.
Su Sui was a minister of power under Yuwentai before, but after losing power, his thinking has changed a lot after several twists and turns, and it has become very strange, and he has strong radical thoughts, and he is more crazy and reckless than before.
The envoy returned to the camp and told Yuwen Hu about the cause and effect, Yuwen Hu was mad after hearing it, so he wrote a letter to the emperor overnight, listing dozens of Su Sui's crimes before and after, and asked the emperor Yuan Baoju to severely punish Su Sui, otherwise he would return to Beijing with the army, and then he Yuwen Hu would go to the imperial city in blood. It's half intimidation, half complaint.
As soon as the letter was delivered, a scout came to report that there was a fight in Meridian Valley. It turned out that Gao Yue's troops followed the established route from the southern end of the Meridian Valley all the way north to the exit, and 60,000 people entered the pass. Shiyan's troops rushed to the front as the vanguard, followed by Gao Yue's main force of the Chinese army, and behind the palace was the Minyue army of Qian Miao and Qian Shen's father and son. Previously, Yuwen Hu had sent Wei Chijiong and Da Xiwu to lead 10,000 people each to ambush in Shanbei and Wu County, and wait for Gao Yue's troops to enter the encirclement.
Gao Yue's army came here newly, and did not know enough about the terrain and the enemy's situation, coupled with insufficient preparation, and was unprepared for the sudden ambush of the two, resulting in the direct death of the forward soldier Yan, and the Chinese army also suffered a catastrophe, Gao Yue restrained his subordinates several times and could not resist at all, so he had to retreat in the direction of the Meridian Valley, Qian Miao and Qian Shen father and son were fortunate to set up a village to suppress the formation, but the 60,000 people were not completely annihilated, but such a sudden attack has made Gao Yue's troops lose their combat effectiveness, and they were killed and wounded as high as half, only to survive.
The good news and bad news were transmitted to Yuwen Hu and Gao Huan respectively, Yuwen Hu was ecstatic to convey the news to everyone in the army, even the emperor and Su Sui knew about this victory, and for a while everyone once again ignited the hope of victory, and the soldiers under Yang Zhong also asked to fight. Emperor Yuan Baoju was also very happy about this, knowing that it had been a long time since there had been a good news of victory. This great victory was like timely rain to pull back the self-army that was gradually collapsing, and integrate and condense together.
Gao Huan was not so happy, Gao Yue's report to him was very clear, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Yan died in battle, and there were more than fifteen captain-level generals killed in battle, and the casualties of the soldiers were even more heavy, and there was no combat power to attack Yuwen Hu's combat power from the south, and even containment and cover would become very reluctant, because if they did not evacuate, it was very likely that they would be surrounded by Wei Chijiong and Da Xiwu, and then it would be the time when Gao Yue's head was completely annihilated. Yang Kan looked at Gao Huan's very embarrassed face and glanced at Yang Xiuzhi.
Yang Xiuzhi didn't dare to say anything at the moment, because he knew that everything he said was wrong, Gao Huan was angry at the moment, and he didn't know who to spread this evil fire with, so he wasn't stupid to find this bad luck. pretended not to see Yang Kan's little eyes, and Yang Kan bowed his head and didn't speak when he saw that this kid refused to be fooled. Also present at this moment were He Batsheng, Sima Ziru, Murong Shaozong and others.
He Batsheng was the first to speak: "Now that Zhennan (Gao Yue's general title) has no combat effectiveness, simply let him withdraw to Dao Hanzhong to rest, in my opinion, we don't have to worry about anything, the Chinese army is fighting head-on, there is no point in always being deadlocked." Gao Huan nodded and asked, "Where do you think it's better for us to start first?" Sima Ziru looked at Yang Kan, Yang Kan looked at Yang Xiuzhi, Yang Xiuzhi bowed his head and said nothing.
Murong Shaozong got up at this time and said, "Great King, among the ministers, I think it is better for us to start with the men and horses of Baling Yang Zhong. Gao Huan looked up and asked, "Oh? Why? Murong Shaozong said: "Yang Zhong's people have not been here for a long time, they definitely don't know about some of our tactical deployments, and secondly, these people have already gone through fierce battles with Hou Mo Chen Chong before, and they lack the opportunity to recuperate. ”
Gao Huan nodded and said, "This is a reason, what do you think, let's talk about it." Yang Kan saw that they were silent one by one, and said a little anxiously: "The king and the old minister said a few words." Gao Huan nodded. Yang Kan said loudly: "The matter is now, the world is unified in one move, but we have been here for three months in vain, the war ended one day earlier, the country was unified one day earlier, and we also completed the mission one day earlier.
