Chapter Twenty-Nine: Jincheng Soup Pool

Chang'an camp

Under the command of Gan Ning, the silver feather flew quickly assembled, each man and each horse carried several days' rations, and then rode out of the city in unison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The camp belonging to the infantry soldiers also began to get busy, distributing the escort of grain, grass and baggage, the sword and shield pikemen were the vanguard of the infantry, the crossbow archers were the main force of the Chinese army, and the troops where Guo Yedian, Xu Yi and Gangui were located were sword and shield soldiers, belonging to the vanguard type of foot soldiers.

After more than a year in the army, these four teenagers were promoted to the fastest place, this is not by the care of his father Dian Wei, the army is more taboo than the officialdom cronyism, the soldier is inevitably bloody, especially the division of the tiger and wolf, if an officer can not convince the public, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the army, this is not as convincing as a civilian official, the force value is the basic, and the general's strategy and resourcefulness are the key factors that determine the achievements of the general.

Dian Man's force value is the leader of the younger generation, and it is the result of Dian Wei's careful training for more than ten years, so Dian Man is enough to serve the public as a captain and commander of 2,000 foot soldiers, in his 2,000-person army, Xu Yi is the military commander of 400 people, Guo Ye is the military marquis who controls 200 people, and Gan Gui's official rank is the lowest, just a tun commander who commands 100 people.

The four of them have a clear relationship between their superiors and subordinates in the new army, Gan Gui obeys Guo Ye's orders, Guo Ye obeys Xu Yi's orders, Xu Yi obeys the orders of the pawn, and above the pawn, the five people who are also captains with him are under the command of Meng Da.

An army that prohibits orders, the most important management, the orders conveyed by the superiors, and the lower-level officers can fully implement the tasks in order to complete the task, Dianman commands a battalion as a captain, with a complete establishment, and has two thousand people in five divisions, including A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, REN, and Gui, among which the song led by Guo Ye is Geng.

The Silver Feather Flying Cavalry has been galloped with Guo Jia to aid Jincheng under the leadership of Gan Ning, and the follow-up infantry troops are in full swing to prepare.

If Gan Gui wasn't a little younger, he really couldn't stand the tall adults of some people, otherwise he would never be just a hundred people with his perennial martial arts skills.

The task in the barracks, Gan Gui has been arranged, and came to Guo Ye to resume his life, and finally Gan Gui asked Guo Ye with some hesitation: "This time, we won't go to see the excitement, right?" ”

Gan Gui's worries are reasonable, putting aside his own and Dian Man Xu Yi, just Guo Ye's identity, the new army commander Meng Da will definitely not turn a blind eye, whether he will be afraid that Guo Ye will have an accident and avoid letting Dian Man's battalion rush to the front line, it is difficult to say.

Guo Ye didn't have this worry, and said, "What is the thing that the lord hates the most?" It's a corpse vegetarian meal, and it's not in its place! If you and I are just decorations in the army, why waste money and food on the expedition? ”

Gan Gui tilted his head and thought about it, it seemed that there was some truth, Guo Jia didn't need to let Guo Ye come to the barracks to go through the motions, this kind of face project was not that Guo Jia didn't do it, but at least it would be done with immediate benefits.

If Guo Ye is here to mix qualifications, then if he does nothing, he will be looked down upon by the soldiers, and it is better not to come.

"Okay, you and I don't have to think about these things, just do our duty."

Guo Ye left the camp after explaining to Gan Gui, and he was going to Xu Yi to report on the preparations of his Gengzi troops.

Jincheng is later Lanzhou, in the history of the Han Dynasty, Jincheng has an important strategic position, Huo went to the west to conquer the Xiongnu, Jincheng is not only a passage, but also provides a premise for opening up the four counties of Hexi.

Jincheng, as a strategic point in Liangzhou, is a very key city.

When Han Sui and Ma Teng drew the land as the boundary, Guo Jia was beside the two of them and watched them divide the territory of power.

Han Sui was willing to let Ma Teng occupy Tianshui County, where Jincheng was located, and he himself occupied the four counties of Hexi in the northwest of Liangzhou, a big factor was that Han Sui wanted Ma Teng to be sandwiched between him and Guo Jia, so that if Guo Jia wanted to attack Han Sui, he would inevitably guarantee that the city would not get in the way.

Guo Jia ignored Han Sui and Ma Teng's division of territory, and did not open a word to dominate the situation, in fact, the situation he wanted most was like that at that time.

Ma Teng occupied Jincheng, and Han Sui went to Hexi, so in turn, if Han Sui wanted to stab Guo Jia in the back, he had to pass through Jincheng first.

Ma Teng's occupation of the territory of the middle fortress in the Kansai region was a situation that Guo Jia was happy to see, which was equivalent to putting Han Sui in a restricted place.

Although the four counties of Hexi were transformed from nomadic areas to agricultural areas after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the population has always remained in a relatively scarce number, coupled with the not generous natural environment, Han Sui wants to develop, let alone give him ten years, give him twenty years, thirty years, I am afraid that they may not be able to reach a feared height, most of the aliens go south to plunder the materials of life, especially in the year of natural disasters, and once Han Sui's territory falls from the sky, then he must seek a solution from the outside, in this way, sooner or later there will be a conflict between the two Han and Ma families, this bureau, Guo Jia was already planning when he entered Guanzhong, and six or seven years after planting the seeds, it finally blossomed and bore fruit.

The silver feather flying horse galloping through the wilderness was like a ray of silver light, and the galloping cavalry team went all the way west with the deafening sound of horses' hooves.

It was already dark, but Guo Jia still did not order to camp and rest on the spot.

Riding a horse and following Guo Jia was Gan Ning, and about fifty paces behind Gan Ning was Ma Chao.

Guo Jia went to save Jincheng at night, or he led the cavalry to take the lead after hearing that Pang De was trapped in Jincheng, Ma Chao definitely couldn't stay in Chang'an, and his troops were killed and wounded, and there were less than 6,000 soldiers defending Jincheng, he couldn't take the remnants of the defeated army to follow Guo Jia back to Jincheng, and he himself changed horses and followed Guo Jia.

"Lord, is it important whether Jincheng has fallen or not?"

Gan Ning galloped on his horse, and asked after getting a little closer to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's face was expressionless, he shook his head on a horse and said, "Han Sui defeated Jincheng, and I will lead the army to fight back, all the same." I don't want to see Pang Lingming die in Jincheng, according to his character, he will definitely not surrender to Han Sui. ”

Gan Ning has a little friendship with Pound, but now he is still confused.

"Ling Ming is indeed a rare general, but is it necessary for the lord to go to Jincheng personally for him? Han Sui had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and this Yinling Flying Horse was only 10,000, and he rushed to Jincheng non-stop, and he was also a tired division when he arrived at the city, in case he ......"

Gan Ning can't ignore this worry, and Guo Jia can't make mistakes, especially in the context of this status and identity and the situation in the world.

Guo Jia took advantage of the twilight to turn his head and look at Ma Chao not far away, Ma Chao was sweating profusely, looking tired, obviously gritting his teeth and insisting.

Turning his head again, Guo Jia said to Gan Ning: "There are three reasons why I do this, first, Ling Ming is a person who knows how to repay kindness, if you are kind to him, he will repay you tenfold, and if you are kind to him, he will repay you with his life." Second, Ma Chao broke through and ran away as the monarch himself, how would the soldiers left in Jincheng feel about him? I saved Jincheng and returned Jincheng to Ma Chao, do you think Ma Chao still has a future as a monarch? Third, preparations for this battle have been going on since last year, I left Chang'an on the front foot, and at the latest three days, the follow-up troops will arrive, as long as Jincheng does not fall before I arrive, it will be a test of Han Sui's courage. ”

Gan Ning nodded frequently, and suddenly remembered that Guo Jia was besieged and killed by Liu Biao in the county town, and later drank with Zhou Tai to talk about it, Zhou Tai said that Guo Jia wanted to use himself as a bait to let his soldiers break through and return to Yizhou.

Ma Chao and Guo Jia are both monarchs, but in the same situation, the two have completely different approaches, and Ma Chao doesn't have to rack his brains to think about why Guo Jia can have so many people who are desperate to serve their lives.

There is another layer of meaning in the name of Jincheng, which is taken from the allusion of "Jincheng soup pool", which means solid.

Obviously, Jincheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and for the northwest where science and technology are backward, they rarely invest in war equipment, most of them are galloping with a bloody and fierce war horse, Han Sui more than 20,000 troops besieged the city, it is difficult to break through Jincheng with manpower alone, and it is not good to build catapults, wells and other complicated war equipment, so they can only rely on the ladder to let the soldiers climb the city tower to do the first climb, so this situation makes Jincheng defend without much pressure.

The reason why Ma Chao broke through was that he was afraid of being trapped and dying in Jincheng, his soldiers and horses outside Jincheng were all wiped out by Han Sui, there were originally 10,000 troops in the city, in the face of Han Sui's army of more than 20,000 people, Jincheng could not be attacked, and it would definitely not be able to consume Han Sui, who had already plundered the west of Fufeng, so Ma Chao led the army to break through with 5,000, and less than 2,000 dead and wounded ran to Chang'an, and the defenders in the city were less than 6,000, and the daily loss of defending the city was hundreds. After all, the resistance was reduced by half.

Just after Ma Chao broke through, Han Sui left four generals to continue the siege of Jincheng, and he himself returned to Wuwei with a large number of military supplies, which he wanted to use to recruit troops and buy horses.

The number of defenders of Jincheng is declining every day, and it seems that it is less than 4,000, and the strength of the city gates to resist the enemy army is getting worse and worse, and it seems that the city may be broken at any time.

Two days later, at dusk, the sky was glowing red, and the attack and defense of Jincheng was still going on tragically.

Han Sui's soldiers and horses seemed to be confident, besieging the city on all sides, and attacking one side, which made the defenders in Jincheng exhausted.

The four generals of Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, and Zhang Heng each presided over the war on one side.

The battlefield east of Jincheng was commanded by Yang Qiu, seeing that the sky was dark, Yang Qiu planned to collect his troops and return to the camp to fight again tomorrow, but he suddenly turned his head and looked back.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves gradually increased from low to high, and the smoke and dust in the distance of the official road as far as the eye could see, Yang Qiu was shocked.

"Whose soldiers are this?"

No one answered his question, and at this point, he had to make a decision whether to go head-on or stay out of the way.

In the end, Yang Qiu decisively ordered the whole army to move to the south of Jincheng, so that it could join the horses in the south and not be flattened by the sudden cavalry.

The defenders at the east gate of Jincheng suddenly found that the enemy had withdrawn, and a huge cavalry was gradually approaching in the distance, and the defenders who looked vigilant and even a little desperate suddenly broke out into earth-shattering cheers.

"It's the lord who is back!"

Jin Ma Chao took the lead, shouting at the defenders of the city to open the city gate, and Guo Jia led the silver feather flying horse to follow closely and entered the golden city like a long dragon.
