Chapter 8: The Great Zhou Loses Again
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army in the Northern Han Dynasty
Liu Chong, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, sat in the middle, his face was full of red light, after all, he had already taken Jinzhou, and looking at the speed of the Zhou Dynasty, it was just around the corner. ()
"Zhang Aiqing, you have made a lot of contributions this time, and I will definitely reward you when you return to the court, General Zhang, please drink this cup." Looking at Liu Chong's proud appearance, it seemed that Da Zhou had been held in his hands.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that it is better to pay close attention to the movements of the Zhou Dynasty at the moment, just in case, especially the movements of the Zhou Dynasty." Zhang Yuanhui is still relatively smart.
"Especially at this time, it is very likely that Chai Rong, the emperor of Zhou, will personally drive the expedition, maybe this is just an opportunity, is it ...... to send a large army again"
"General Zhang is too worried, he doesn't dare to recruit in person for Chai Rong's kid, and besides, he will definitely not do it in person when he is newly enthroned.
Besides, how big and hundreds of thousands of our Khitan coalition army are, we will definitely be able to reach Daliang smoothly, and when the time comes, we will drink and talk happily in Bianliang, and we will only talk about Fengyue, not about the government. ”
Liu Chong still thinks that Chai Rong will not be recruited in person, but unfortunately he underestimated Chai Rong, he is not Chai Rong, Zhang Yuanhui still wants to say something When he saw Liu Chong's appearance, he swallowed it back.
At this time, on the way to Jinzhou, Chai Rong was sitting in the imperial bowl, and there were two people next to him, that is, Zhao Xu's father Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu.
"Kuang Yin, that son of yours, what a wonderful person, I was said by him to support his own children to fight, hahaha is also a loss to what he can say."
Chai Rong did not have the nervousness before the battle at all.
Zhao Xu next to him was a little embarrassed to hear this, he didn't expect this Zhou Shizong to have such a dressed expression.
But Zhao Kuangyin is excusing his son:
"Your Majesty, how can Xu'er understand His Majesty's grand goal when she is still young?"
"Okay, Kuang Yin, you and my brother don't have to say that, I just like Zhao Xu's child, if I have a princess, I will definitely marry him, hehe."
Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are still brothers, but at this time they joked with their father and son. This made Zhao Xu a little embarrassed.
"I must show my majesty this time, let his old ministers see if I can command the world, and save me from being young and bullied."
"By the way, Zhao Xu, you have gathered under Li Yun before, and you have entered the Northern Han Dynasty, what do you think are the chances of winning this time?" Chai Rong turned his head and asked Zhao Xu.
Zhao Kuangyin gave Zhao Xu a look on the side, which meant to say more auspicious words, but Zhao Xu turned a deaf ear.
Zhao Xu said calmly: "Your Majesty, the key to victory lies in morale, in the command of the commander, and the victory or defeat cannot be guessed." ”
Chai Rong's face was a little unhappy when he heard this, after all, everyone likes to listen to compliments, and saints will die no exception.
"Xu'er, you can talk to Your Majesty like this, Your Majesty's personal expedition is of course invincible, Your Majesty ......"
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly explained.
Chai Rong waved his hand:
"Kuang Yin, okay, Zhao Xu is right, the war does require morale and the ability of the commander, but I firmly believe that I can definitely win this time, and I will definitely be able to drive the Northern Han back to Jinyang." Chai Rong was full of confidence.
Out of the emperor's royal court, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu rode horses outside:
"Xu'er, when you talk to Your Majesty in the future, you must pay attention, he is the emperor now, not the Uncle Chai who you used to pee on his neck, remember?"
"I know, Dad, by the way, Dad, our mission this time is to protect the emperor, just now the emperor asked me to follow you during this time."
"That's fine, it's our duty for the Praetorian Guard to protect the emperor, you can follow me at this stage, your one has also been assigned to me, I think they are well-trained, and they must be the division of a hundred battles one day."
Just now, Chai Rong asked Zhao Xu to follow Zhao Kuangyin into the Internal Guard, and even Zhao Xu's people followed Zhao Xu into the Internal Guard.
"By the way, Dad, you are the commander of the right wing of Hujie this time, and the commander of the battalion and infantry army, you should pay attention, Zhao Chao heard that he is ...... with the minister of the inner court."
"Xu'er, don't talk nonsense, we just need to be diligent and don't ask too much about other things, you know?" Zhao Kuangyin scolded his son loudly. [.A lot of good novels]
Chai Rong was alone in the imperial bowl with a gloomy face:
"Feng Dao, you old ministers are restless, don't blame me for being unkind to you, Zhao Chao, you are stupid, you have no brains, I must cultivate my own cronies, Kuang Yin, I can see it." At this time, the pro-conquest must be victorious. ”
Just when Chai Rong was about to arrive in Gaoping, news came from Qianfang that Luzhou was occupied by the Northern Han Dynasty, Jinzhou was already in danger to defend, and the troops of the forward were defeated.
It turned out that when Chai Rong ordered the personal expedition, he had already ordered the Ma army to command Fan Aineng, the envoy of Wuding Jiedu, and He Hui, the commander of the infantry army, to lead the army to the battlefield.
The generals of the generals are most afraid of being greedy for merit, and they must not be impatient, but it is a pity that these two generals Fan and He Er are all guilty. They sent two generals to be the vanguard.
One of these two generals is called Cui Yaqiang, and the other is Han Shuangye. In the striker's tent.
"Brother Han, did you say that Your Majesty is making a big fuss this time, let the two generals lead the vanguard to face the Northern Han, isn't this looking down on us?" Cui Yaqiang complained to Han Shuangye.
"Brother Cui, don't complain, Your Majesty has recently ascended the throne, of course you have to make contributions and establish authority, the general let us play the vanguard is to reuse us, we must do our best to win a good start for Your Majesty, and then the glory and wealth are not at my disposal."
Cui Yaqiang had a beard on his face, covering his entire face, unable to see his true face, and looked like he had a fight with Meng Zhang Fei.
"Brother Han is right, wouldn't it be better for us to capture Zhang Yuanhui and present it to His Majesty?" The two of them laughed loudly in the big tent.
The armies of the two sides met in Gaoping, and the commander of the opposing army was still Zhang Yuanhui, who killed Mu Lingjun with a trick.
This time, Zhang Yuanhui was cautious about the reinforcements of the Zhou State, and he did not rush out of the station before he found out the details of the other party, but carefully observed the formation of the Great Zhou.
The army of the Great Zhou was neat and the army was huge, which made Zhang Yuanhui also admire the strong soldiers of the Great Zhou, but he was not afraid once.
He deeply knew that marching and fighting not only relied on morale, but also on the command of generals on the battlefield.
Looking at the Great Zhou army that was so invited, he knew that it was difficult to win head-on, so he prepared to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared, and the two sides tentatively fought several small-scale battles, all of which ended with the rout of the Northern Han.
This made Cui Yaqiang and Han Shuangye both confident, feeling that the Northern Army was so vulnerable, and even felt that the Northern Han Army could be wiped out overnight.
So it was relaxed. The two of them were in the big tent of the Chinese army, drinking and enjoying themselves, and Zhang Yuanhui saw that the goal of confusing the enemy generals was achieved.
The whole army was ordered to attack the Chinese army of the Zhou army, and for a time the whole army of the Northern Han Dynasty was dispatched, especially the cavalry, and the infantry on both flanks covered it. Directly to the Chinese army tent of the Zhou army.
The two main generals of the poor Zhou army were still drinking, and the enemy's cavalry arrived outside the gate, and the left and right flanks of the guarding Chinese army instantly greeted them.
For a time, the entire military camp outside the shouting and killing was screaming to the sky, wailing and screaming, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, I don't know if it was the Zhou army or the Northern Han army.
But since ancient times, the infantry has always been at a disadvantage against the cavalry on land, and the strength of a battalion guarding the big tent of the Chinese army has been almost completely wiped out.
The Zhou army on the left and right flanks was also entangled by the Han army who rushed over, and the cavalry rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army, and the wine and food in it were still hot!
Besides, the second general Cui and Han Er, who were drinking inside, saw that the soldiers could not stop the cavalry of the Han army, and they were so frightened that they would not command the army to resist, but ran faster than rabbits.
The Zhou army, which lost its commander, was in a mess, so much so that when he saw the commander fleeing, he desperately threw away his armor and ran away.
However, many soldiers were surrounded, some were beheaded, and a small number chose to surrender, and Zhou was defeated again.
The Han army was shouting long live, and their morale was shaken, and because the main general fled the Zhou army, the soldiers were all hanging their heads listlessly.
Thousands of soldier corpses were left behind, Choi. General Han Er, who ran more than ten miles, finally escaped from the sight of the Han army, and his back was soaked with sweat, and he finally picked up a life.
Look at the soldiers who escaped with him, all in tatters, with dark faces, and they were all called Hanako.
The tens of thousands of troops were less than a thousand at this time, and what was even more nonsense was that they got lost and didn't know where they had gone.
What is even more infuriating is that Cui Yaqiang and Han Shuangye, who were defeated from the battlefield, led the rout army to rob the baggage all the way, spreading rumors that the army of the Northern Han Dynasty was powerful in Duomen, which caused major panic along the way, and many generals were timid before fighting.
It's really two straw bales, and when Chai Rong heard that the two of them escaped from the battle and were defeated, he had smashed everything that could be smashed in the imperial bowl.
"These two wastes actually escaped from the battle, causing our right army to surrender without a fight, and the soldiers were killed and injured countless times, and what is even more hateful is that the two of them also spread rumors, which made the soldiers panic, and I must break the two into pieces."
Chai Rong hated these two generals for escaping from the battle, and even more hated the two of them for disturbing the morale of the army, and in his heart he had already sentenced those who fled to death.
For the sake of the country's law and military discipline, for his own authority, and for the sake of giving an account to those dead soldiers, he must do this.
Chai Rong looked into the distance, thinking that he must vigorously rectify the forbidden army in the future, and even the forbidden army in the central part of the country fled from the battle, not to mention other armies.
In order to unify the great cause of the world, the forbidden army must be rectified, and after this battle, it seems that I will reorganize the army, and his vision is deep and long.
No one thought that this young emperor had already thought of unifying the world, and before the battle began, he had already thought about the next step.
When Zhao Xu heard this, he felt that the wheel of history had not changed much because of his arrival, and he was finally defeated when the war started.
Gaoping is the birthplace of Zhao Kuangyin, and now Zhao Kuangyin is already a commander, if the battle of Gaoping is a meritorious service, the reward will definitely be indispensable.
Under Chai Rong's urging, the army quickly wanted to advance Gaoping, and according to Chai Rong's strategic intentions, Gaoping was encircled.
