Chapter 257: Guanzhong's Four Stable Battles [1]
It was once said that experience is wisdom! Zhang Ji's idea can't be said to be bad, but it's a pity that there are more strong players in the strong, and a mountain is higher than a mountain. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info to say that this Zhang Ji's luck is really bad, but he met Yingchuan Haojie Xu Shu in this Huayin land.
Xu Shu, as the commander-in-chief of the battle of Huayin, if he said that with his wisdom, he would not calculate the enemy army to death after receiving Hua Fei's prompt, then he would not even believe in ghosts.
It turns out that Zhang Ji was wrong, and it was very wrong! Because he didn't know that in Huafei's army, there was another fierce general near Huayin County, but he never appeared.
This person is none other than the super macho man who was born in Chongqing in the later generations - Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.
But said that when Xu Shu knew that the enemy was coming, he obviously did not have a fierce general to assist, and Gan Ning had just left Zheng County, so why did he not summon Gan Ning to return to the army to help?
But it turned out that this was because Xu Shu took into account the factors of the terrain, and after Xu Shu crossed the Tongshui village with the enemy army, he considered that Weishui was not extremely wide, and the north of Weishui was the most flat and open place in Linjin.
And from here, following the Weishui westward, you can also go deep into the hinterland of Guanzhong. Therefore, Xu Shu did not dare to take it lightly and ordered Gan Ning to lead the army to resist the south of Linjin, asking him not to be optimistic about Weishui and not to let the enemy cross the water to the north.
Therefore, Gan Ning has never appeared, and Xu Shu will fight so hard before Xu Chu is the end, because he has no opponent Zhang Xiu.
And when Xu Shu was designing Zhang Ji, Gan Ning received a secret order from Xu Shu to ask him to collect warships and make some pontoon bridges in Linjin.
Collecting warships was naturally preparing for Gan Ning to take Xu Shu to lead the army to the battle, and when he released the ship south, he led the troops to attack Zhang Ji's rear.
As for the manufacture of the pontoon bridge, it was naturally because Xu Shu thought that the earth cavalry would be the first in this pass, but Hua Fei's war horses were not too many, so he wanted Zhang Ji to leave all the war horses for him.
And when Zhang Ji led the horsemen under his command to rush away, at the junction of Weishui and the Yellow River, suddenly the war drums sounded in unison, and a Wupeng was going upriver towards them.
Gan Ning's brocade robe was facing the wind, carrying a halberd on his shoulder, and holding a longbow in his hand was conducive to the bow of the boat, and only one order to get off the boat "Bangbang" strings sounded, and in an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and Zhang Ji and others jumped with their heads in their hands.
Gan Ning led the army down the river, along the way the arrow rain did not stop, and when he climbed and killed countless troops of Xiliang and the Southern Huns, the sound of horses' hooves behind him was urgent, and Xu Chu and others chased the sound of the tiger's roar in a hurry.
Zhang Ji saw that there was an ambush again, and the enemy army was all on the boat and could not cross, not to mention that his army had collapsed, so he did not dare to stop the counterattack at the moment, and only cared about leading the army to rush away.
When I arrived at Detongshui, I saw that the passage I had built the day before yesterday had been destroyed, and Gan Ning had already led the army down the river from the upper head, and Xu Chu had led the army to chase after him.
Zhang Ji was in a panic and hurriedly led the army to flee downstream, but suddenly saw some pontoon bridges across the east and west banks of Tongshui.
Zhang Ji was anxious to order the troops to dismount and cross the river, but he was worried that the enemy would chase along the pontoon bridge, so he destroyed the pontoon bridge and fled, so Gan Ning and Xu Chu collected countless horses from Zhang Ji and the Southern Xiongnu.
Xu Shu led the army directly to the turn of Weitong, so he ordered the army to clean up the mess and count the results, but he looked at the terrain with his sword and climbed high, and prepared to drive many prisoners of war here, and set up a city to settle the pass.
In this battle, Zhang Ji relied on the speed of his war horse, and only led the abandoned Xiliang cavalry and the Southern Huns to escape, while the small retreaters of the Baibo Army were not so lucky, and almost the entire army was taken prisoner.
The victory in this battle also means that the four-stoppled land of the Eight Hundred Miles Pass has been fully entered by Hua Fei, and the plan to stabilize the Pass has been achieved.
According to post-war statistics, under the excellent command of Xu Shu, Hua Feijun took more than 40,000 prisoners of war; 24,636 ownerless horses were collected; captured more than 360,000 catties of grain from Zhang Ji's army; There were also countless trophies such as armor, weapons, flags, bows and arrows.
It is worth mentioning that Gan Ning captured Hu Che'er, an enemy general who ran fast but couldn't swim, in the water; He Man also overthrew the Baibo general Hu Cai; Yang Ren even forced Li Le to surrender. Only Xu Chu was the most unlucky, obviously he captured Han Xian alive.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the battle, he found that Han Xian, who was held under his armpit, had already been dead for a long time. Xu Chu really didn't know if he was kidnapped to death by himself, or smoked to death by his own armpit odor......
On the 17th day of August in the autumn, Hua Fei, who was in Chang'an City, first received the good news sent by Fa Zheng to send people to Bali urgently.
After learning that the matter of Xiao Pass had been decided, he did not immediately withdraw the army, but sent an order to order Fa Zheng to rush to Chang'an City to discuss various matters, but ordered Wei Yan to lead the army to temporarily guard Xiao Pass and repair the city to prevent the enemy in the north.
He also ordered Tai Shici to lead his elite cavalry to inspect the Northland County, so he appeased the people and cleared up the thieves, and appointed local officials to make the Northland County stable as soon as possible, and the people who had suffered from the war were at peace.
Subsequently, on August 18, Yan Yan led his army to Chang'an City first, and Wu Xu had also entered Yongxian County. When Hua Fei was waiting for Yan Yan to take a break and rushed to Huayin to help in the war, he received the good news sent by Xu Shu.
Hua Fei, who was running out of troops around him, couldn't help but laugh when he learned that Huayin had also won a big battle. Immediately the news of these two great victories was reported to all places, so as to calm the hearts of the fathers and elders.
At the same time, the order agreed to Xu Shu's request, and the more than 40,000 captives were organized into the atonement army, so that after they had made three years of contributions to the land of Guanzhong, they could be stripped of their crimes and heavy responsibilities for civilians to enjoy the treatment of the people under Hua Fei's command, that is, they had land, land, clothing, and houses.
At the same time, in order to appease the emotions of the captives and mobilize their enthusiasm, Hua Fei even ordered Du Ji, who was engaged in the selection and assessment of the main affairs, to send personnel to Huayin quickly.
It was announced to the prisoners that as long as they could make outstanding contributions to Guanzhong or perform well in the course of service, they would be rewarded with a reduction in the number of years of atonement to appease the prisoners.
In the end, Hua Fei ordered Xu Shu, Xu Chu, and He Man to lead the army back to Chang'an; However, Gan Ning was ordered to continue to inspect Feng Yi's place, and Pu Hu was ordered to lead the army and Zhang Wei to pacify Jingzhao County.
At the same time, the order was ordered to Liu Yu to guard the place of Sanguan and Yongxian County, so as to achieve the goal of being prepared; Wu Xu, who ordered the army to Yongxian County, temporarily stationed his army in place to ensure the tranquility of the central and western parts of Guanzhong; He also ordered Yan Yan to lead the army to inspect Fufeng County.
Hua Fei strives to make the Fufu, Jingzhao, Feng Yi and Beidi County in Guanzhong all clear the thieves and restore peace as soon as possible, so that the people can live in peace and all internal affairs can be carried out smoothly.
As for welcoming the Son of Heaven back to Chang'an, Hua Feijun was delayed for several days because of Zhang Ji's sudden attack, but he was afraid that it was too late.
And in the middle of Chang'an to Luoyang, there are a large number of Zhang Ji's defeated troops stationed, if you act vainly, you are afraid of the war again. Therefore, Hua Fei ordered people to go to the Hongnong area in disguise to listen to and collect the news of the Son of Heaven for future plans.
At the same time, Hua Fei's heart has always been a little puzzled, that is, why didn't Zhang Ji rob the Son of Heaven, but he wanted to run to rob Guanzhong first? And the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven have been unknown, where did he go?
In addition, why has he never heard and seen the appearance of the fierce general with an axe in his hand, could it be that he has already slipped away or has something else to say?
Because he knew that if he wanted to strengthen the army, he must first enrich the people, and although Guanzhong was extremely advantageous in terms of strategic position, it was not an exaggeration to call it an artifact, but it was damaged by Dong Zhuo and others, and it must be repaired to make it shine brightly.
Therefore, after Hua Fei returned from Xu Shu and Fa Zheng, he started a discussion with the two of them about sorting out the forces under his command.
And soon in Chang'an's Jingzhao Mansion convened the subordinates, reported the results and harvest of the war, rewarded those who performed well to show encouragement, and will discuss and discuss future development strategies.
At the same time, Hua Fei is also ready to solve a problem that has been in his heart for a long time, but has not been done. (To be continued.) )
