Chapter 20: Armistice
Flags fluttering, gongs and drums are noisy, people are boiling, the scene of tens of thousands of people Chen Lin has seen, hundreds of thousands of troops have been gathered under the Bishui Pass, but that big battle did not have tens of thousands of people in the two armies on the flat ground like now, guns to guns and knife to knife battles. As the saying goes, there are no more soldiers and horses, and now 60,000 people are gathered in a small basin of five or six miles, which seems a bit crowded. There are nearly 30,000 people fighting in the open space in the center of the three people, there is no formation method, the mainstream of the war is always strength, and intrigue can be assisted, but at this time, they have lost any ability here.
Chen Lin, Cai Yang and the others stood on the mountain protrusion, and more than 2,000 soldiers and horses behind them formed in front of Chen Lin in an orderly manner, and the guards erected a huge shield and set up a spear ten steps in front of Chen Lin. Go further, the remaining 800 soldiers in Cai Yang on the left are all elites left after life and death. On the right, there is a large array of spears, and the shiny tips of the spears stand up to the sky, which is terrifying.
Chen Dao: "Big brother, who do you help?" ”
Chen Lin glanced at Jia Xu and asked for his opinion. Jia Xu said: "My lord, the three generals, at this time, the state pastor and Jia Qiande are on the same level of soldiers and horses, but the state pastor still has 5,000 Qingqiang iron horses, but the state pastor has excellent combat power. Now, although our army is outnumbered, there are only two or three thousand people in front of it, and joining either side is a great blow to the other, especially in terms of morale. Our army had already killed Zhang Gongqi, the general of the state pastor, in the morning, and had a bad relationship with the state pastor, but Jia Qiande and other people in Shu obviously did not like outsiders, and the lord and the state pastor were both outsiders. Therefore, it is thought that our army does not help each other and looks from the wall. ”
Chen Lin smiled, Jia Xu's mind won Chen Lin's heart, Chen Lin's original intention to enter Shu was to defeat Liu Yan and control the entire territory of Yizhou. But being used and despised by Jia Long Ren'an and other Shu sergeant clans like this, Chen Lin was angry in his heart, and Chen Lin once again remembered the young Fazheng, and the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind. It was also Chen Lin who was inadvertently affected by Fa Zheng's words, so Chen Lin secretly ordered Gao Shun's troops to leave Los Angeles. Only by hiding one's own people can one hide the enemy, looking at Liu Yan and Jia Long's attitude towards him now, Chen Lin knew that they should not have discovered the existence of Gao Shun. Okay, according to what Jia Xu said, you fight, my Hanzhong Army will take a good look, maybe you can still grab the last bargain.
So Chen Lin shouted: "Okay, come here, sit down." Immediately, a guard held up a large umbrella in the military tent, and Chen Lin, Jia Xu and others simply sat on the ground, ignoring the battle in the distance. He also ordered a group of soldiers to fetch water to distribute to the soldiers in the array, but no one was allowed to stir around, and those who troubled him were to be beheaded. Many soldiers took off their hats and helmets, which were breathable, and suddenly cooled a lot.
Chen Lin's actions attracted the attention of Jia Long and Liu Yan, and Zhou Qun followed his gaze and asked, "What are these soldiers and horses in Hanzhong for?" Originally, Chen Lin's arrival made Liu Yan and Jia Long divide an army of two thousand and turn to the formation to guard against Chen Lin. Now Chen Lin's appearance made both parties puzzled. Ren An took a look at it and said: "Alas, Bo Zhi wants to be a view of the wall, neither leaving nor participating in the war, we will wait for the war with the state pastor, and in the end it will be a defeat for both sides, and even our army will be defeated, you must know that the state minister still has five thousand iron horsemen, and Bo Zhi is unwilling to help me wait." Ren An sighed, he was originally a good master and apprentice, but now he has become like this, Ren An is also heartbroken.
Liu Yan: "What is Chen Bozhi like?" At this time, Liu Fan's Qianwei army was also there, and I saw Liu Fan say: "Father, as long as he doesn't help Jia Qiande's traitor, then our army will win." It turned out that after Liu Yan escaped from Chengdu after Wu Yi escaped, Liu Yan also rode lightly to Mapo, how could he miss this big battle that decided the ownership of Shuzhong. However, after coming to Mapo to join Huang Quanyi, Liu Yan was shocked that Zhuti and other counties in the south had already been attached to Jia Long, and Jiangzhou soldiers and horses were also with Jia Long. In the blink of an eye, he pulled out an army of 30,000, Liu Yan was not lightly frightened, but fortunately, he wanted to calculate others, and invested twice as many soldiers, otherwise Liu Yan would be miserable this time. At this time, Liu Fan's words did not reassure Liu Yan, and asked Huang Quan: "Gongheng, what do you think?" Huang Quan took two steps forward and said: "My lord, although there are few soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, but our army and Jia Qiande are in a big battle, and even if it is a victory in the end, it will be a tragic battle. ”
Liu Yan: "If our army attacks the Hanzhong army with all its strength at this time, Chen Bozhi only has 3,000 men and horses, and it can be solved in an hour." ”
Huang Quan shook his head: "At this time, the two divisions of Hanzhong soldiers and horses are helping each other, if our army dares to attack him, wouldn't it be * * Hanzhong Army and Jia Qiande to unite, this is an unwise move." ”
Liu Yan sighed and scolded: "Gongqi mistook a big thing." Liu Yan relied on Zhang Lu's appearance for Chen Lin's appearance, and Zhang Lu's thousands of troops were defeated by Chen Lin in this way, and he felt that Chen Lin had not suffered much loss.
Jia Long's end, Ren An looked at the soldiers fighting on the field, these are all people in Shu, just killing each other non-stop, the opposite side is Zhang Ren leading the army, at this time there is a way to arrange the formation, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, it is really a general, such a brave general in Shu should be a blessing in Shu, but now it has become a nightmare in Shu. Ren Anxin couldn't bear it, and kept thinking about how to end this disaster. Ren An turned around and said to Zhou Qun: "Shubu, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, we will expel Liu Junlang, but now the death is all the essence blood in my Shu, let's stop fighting." ”
"Truce?" "Armistice"
One is Zhou Qun's doubts, Zhou Qun and Ren An, are all people in Shu who have been famous in Shu for many years, and are deeply respected by most people in Shu, this time after Ren An came to Jiangzhou in person, Zhou Qun agreed to Ren An's proposal without saying a word, saying that Jiangzhou would be moved to rebel. Then Ren An and Zhou Qun persuaded the southern states and counties with their prestige, and made a scene together to confuse Liu Yan, thinking that they could knock Liu Yan down in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect Liu Yan to smuggle troops behind, and the strength of the two armies was equal for a while. At this time, Zhou Qun and Ren An thought basically the same, and couldn't bear to look at these cruel scenes, so these two people were just scholars after all.
The other voice was Jia Long's exclamation, not doubtful, but incredible and unwilling, Jia Long thought that with the support of Ren An and Zhou Qun, Shuzhong would be able to calm down in one fell swoop, and even drive Chen Lin out, at that time, Shuzhong was not his own world. Now Ren An's proposal has shattered Jia Long's dream, and he is very unhappy.
The generals of the southern counties were naturally at the mercy of An Zhouqun, and Jia Long suddenly discovered that he was just a superficial leader, but many people here were more willing to obey An Zhouqun. Jia Long had to agree to send someone to Liu Yan and Chen Lin to negotiate peace.
The two armies fought without slashing the envoys, and the messenger carrying the banner set off along the forest and arrived smoothly. Chen Lin looked at the two warring sides with Jia Xu and others on the mountain bulge, but saw Jia Long's headquarters rushing out of two teams of obvious fast horses, carrying the banner of the envoys, rushing at himself on one side and Liu Yan on the other. Chen Lin hurriedly stood up, Jia Xu and others also discovered the situation, and hurriedly followed Chen Lin to take a look. Chen Lin saw that he was indeed coming at himself, and hurriedly asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe"
Jia Xu: "Lord, the war has stopped, I'm afraid that the lord's mentor doesn't want to lose both, and the alliance is coming." At this time, the alliance was the meaning of armistice and peace talks. When Chen Lin heard this, he frowned: "Peace talks? Well, it's possible. Chen Lin knew in his heart that the current situation was actually extremely unfavorable for the Hanzhong army, Liu Yan and Jia Long both had tens of thousands of troops, and Chen Lin was only five or six thousand soldiers and horses in Shuzhong, this kind of one-time decisive battle was not suitable for the Hanzhong army. Chen Lin prefers small-scale battles, so that the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong can win and increase themselves again and again.
The messenger successfully passed through the scouts and the former army in Hanzhong, came to Chen Lin, and knelt down on one knee: "General, a certain general wants to invite the general to discuss the affairs of Shuzhong." ”
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, went to the talks, went to Jia Long's army? Silly me. Jia Xu also smiled and said, "It's naturally okay to discuss, but it can't be in your army." ”
On the other side, Liu Yan's reaction, Liu Yan's reaction was stunned, and then turned around to look at Huang Quan, Huang Quan lowered his head and thought for a while, and whispered to Liu Yan: "Lord, now Qingqiang is just invited by the lord to help in the war, this army can win or not be defeated, if our army has the momentum of victory, Qingqiang can be used by the lord, but if our army is slightly inappropriate, I am afraid that these 5,000 people will run the fastest." At this time, our army is equal in strength to Jia Qiande, and there is an uncertain Hanzhong army, so the lord may wish to agree to Jia Qiande's proposal, but the southern counties of Guanghan and Brazil must be in the hands of our army. Huang Quan not only agreed to the peace talks, but also made suggestions to Liu Yan on the bottom line of the peace talks.
The Courier reported that both families had agreed not to fight for the time being, but neither had agreed to meet in the Jia Long Army, and everyone knew that this was for sure. Ren An and Zhou Qun represent the meaning of a part of the Shu sergeant clan, these people are always wavering, they want to control their own destiny and claim hegemony in Shu, but they have no ambition to compete for hegemony. The best case scenario is to cling to a weak and incompetent master, so that you can have something to do with your master, and you can do whatever you want when you have nothing to do. Jia Long is different, at this time, I heard that they all agreed to the peace talks, Jia Long knew that it was inevitable, and said: "Peace talks are okay, do the two gentlemen have a plan?" Jia Long knows that there is a bottom line in negotiations.
Ren An: "Guanghan County must not be wanted, Ba County, Brazil can't want it, we can only separate Shuzhong with Liu Junlang and the Hanzhong Branch." The meaning of a certain is that we are guarding the south, taking Jiangyang and Jiangzhou as the line, and slowly drawing it. As soon as Jia Long heard that Guanghan was going to give up, his lungs exploded, but at this time, he could only grit his teeth in his heart and secretly made up his mind that he must master these military talents well, and he couldn't always obey these two old men.
The order to retreat came down, and the sound of gold sounded over the battlefield, first the retreat of Jia Long's side, and then Zhang Ren, who was about to chase and kill, also heard the sound of gold in his own headquarters, and hurriedly stopped the army and restrained the slow retreat. Both armies were on guard to retreat, leaving the ground covered with flesh, and many of the seriously wounded and not dead, wailing in pain, and no one had time to pay attention to them.
Chen Lin looked at the two sides of the withdrawal of troops, turned back to Jia Xu and said, "There is a truce." At the same time, he smiled with Jia Xu.
