In October of the third year of the Great Unification, Gao Huan invaded with the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Gao Huan personally led an army of 200,000 from Hukou to Pujin, and Gao Aocao led 30,000 troops out of Henan to Hongnong, once again forming a north-south attack.

Gao Huan's dispatch of troops can be described as a must-win, he got a stone with a similar pattern when he was playing in Tianchi in June, faintly visible "six kings and three rivers", some masters explained that the six fingers are He Liuhun, and the three rivers are He, Luo, Yi or Jing, Wei, Luo, which means that Gao Huan will unify the right to call the king of the world. Although Gao Huan verbally dismissed it as nonsense, he was really happy in his heart.

Autumn is high and the horses are fat, the weather is getting cooler, and the time to eliminate Yuwentai has finally arrived, Gao Huan is a little impatient, he gathered all the elites of the Eastern Army, Hu Lujin, Hou Jing, Ke Zhu Hun Daoyuan, Han Rail, Pan Le, Peng Le, these famous generals of the Eastern Wei Dynasty poured out.

When Yuwentai heard the news, he immediately led his troops to evacuate Hongnong, and at the same time sent people to the prefectures and counties to order the troops scattered in the prefectures to gather in Chang'an immediately. Gao Aocao came quickly, and as soon as Yuwentai left on his front foot, the Eastern Army surrounded Hongnong City >

Huan arrived in Pujin, some people built yì don't cross the river first, just hold the various passes to trap Yuwentai in the pass, and wait until the turn of the New Year's wheat ripe, Yuan Bao Torch, Yuwentai starved and did not have the strength to continue to fight, this is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Hou Jing also thought that everyone had crossed the river in one go, and the consequences of a defeat would be unimaginable, so he proposed to divide the team into two armies, the front and rear, and the distance could be widened, so that they could take care of each other. In view of the lesson of the failure of the last battle with Yu Wentai, Gao Huan felt that it was no good to play conspiracy with the black otter, and used my 200,000 people to deal with the Guanzhong army of tens of thousands of people. Is there still suspense about the outcome of the war? Therefore, no one can listen to him. Crossing!

In the face of the menacing Eastern Wei army, Wang Zhen, the assassin of Huazhou in the Western Wei Dynasty, was not afraid. Previously, Lao Wang Zhen once boasted in front of Yuwentai's envoy: As long as my old bear is in charge, I will not let the raccoon dog succeed! The implication is that my old bear is sitting in Huazhou, and Huazhou is Dawei's, so the prime minister will put his heart in his stomach.

Gao Huan persuaded Wang Zhen to surrender under the city, and Wang Zhen scolded angrily: This city is the tomb of my Wang Zhen, life is also here, death is also here, if you want to find death, just come. The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones. The hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of not dying, Wang Zhen is the kind of person who is so horizontal that he doesn't want to die.

Wang Zhen's ability to defend the city is famous all over the world, when he guarded Jingzhou, the famous general of the Liang Dynasty Cao Yizong besieged for three years and finally had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Today's Feng Yicheng has been repaired and strengthened by Wang Zhen for more than two years, and has long become a steel fortress.

A strong city plus a desperate San Lang who didn't want to die, Gao Huan hesitated, attacking fortifications has never been the advantage of Xianbei cavalry, if it is attacked. Even if the city is broken, its own losses are definitely indispensable, is it worth paying such a price? The important thing is that Huazhou is not on the road to Chang'an. Gao Huan's target is Yuan Bao Ju and Yuwentai, as for Huazhou. If you can't hit it, you will go around.

The Eastern Wei army withdrew and left, and Wang Zhen did not dare to go out of the city to pursue, after all, the enemy had 200,000 people. The disparity in strength is too great, and his own strength is not enough to fill the gaps between others. Wang Zhen is just brave. Not impulsive. Gao Huan commanded the Eastern Wei army to cross Luoshui and continue westward.

At this time, Yu Wentai had already led the team to Weinan. He camped here and waited for the arrival of soldiers from various states and counties, however, what made Yuwentai a headache was that Gao Huan had already killed Xu Yuanxi, and the reinforcements of soldiers and horses were not until the third batch. These three groups of people were the Praetorian Guards sent by Emperor Wei Yuanbao Torch, the state and county soldiers of Luozhou, and the township soldiers of Pei Xie.

The enemy's troops pressed the border, and could only hope that Yuwentai could keep the enemy out of Chang'an City, and Emperor Wei Yuanbao Ju knew that Yuwentai had few soldiers, so he ordered the right guard general He Lanxiang to stay in Beijing, and the leading general Yuwendao led the Chang'an Suwei left and right forbidden brigades to rush to participate in the battle. Among the soldiers and horses scattered in various states and counties, only Luozhou Thorn Shiquan Yuanli led his troops, and the Prime Minister's Mansion Shi Cao joined the army, and Pei Xie led the township soldiers.

The situation is extremely urgent, Yu Wentai secretly thought: I am afraid it is too late to wait for the arrival of the armies, but Gao Huan is new to the road, unfamiliar with life, and determined that I must not dare to confront it head-on, if I do the opposite, take the risk of taking the initiative to attack, let go, maybe I can survive in death. So, Yuwentai summoned the generals and said: Gao Huan crossed the mountains and crossed the river to come here, and it was the time when the sky was about to kill him.

I'm going to take the initiative, what do you think? Counting the people who joined, the western army was still no more than 10,000 people, and the 20-fold difference in strength made the generals fearful, and everyone persuaded Yuwentai to retreat to Longyou to preserve his strength and temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp >

Give Chang'an to the enemy? Yuwentai said angrily: As long as we retreat, Chang'an will not be able to be saved, and the entire Kansai will inevitably fall into chaos and panic, how can Longyou be defended? Going back only delays the time of defeat. When everyone saw that Yuwentai was angry, they didn't dare to speak

Gao Huan's intelligence work in the battle of Guan was too poor, and his combat strategy was guessed by Yuwentai, but he couldn't figure out Yuwentai's actions at all, he was bent on attracting Yuwentai's main force, and then the general army would attack after Dou Tai broke through, and it was actually much better for him to cross the river directly from the results. The route of Dou Tai's troops recorded in the history books is incredible, and I have never been able to figure out what happened from Fenglingdu.

The key is that Dou Tai had already fought two battles before fighting Yuwentai, once in Hongnong in the Western Wei Dynasty, and once in Shanzhu Valley, both of which were south of Tongguan, and Fenglingdu was north of Tongguan. I tend to think that Dou Tai went from Yecheng to Hongnong via Luoyang, but then there is no zài crossing the river from Fengling.

Yu Wentai adjusted his situation and said to everyone sincerely: In the current situation, the enemy is several times larger than ours, and a frontal attack will not be beneficial to our army. If we retreat, as long as Gao Huan arrives in Xianyang, the people in Guanzhong will inevitably be in turmoil, and the situation will be out of control. The only way to do this is to take advantage of its newness to take the initiative to attack and catch the thieves off guard or have a glimmer of life.

Yuwentai has a strong personality, and he will never change his mind lightly about what he recognizes, and it is precisely because he has seen through the current situation, so he no longer asks for everyone's opinions, and orders the Western Army to give up heavy grain and grass, bring three days' rations per person, build a pontoon bridge on the Wei River, and cross Wei lightly to attack the enemy.

Although the generals of the Western Army had a thousand and ten thousand unwillingness in their hearts, seeing that Prime Minister Yuwen had made up his mind, no one dared to raise any more objections. At critical moments, the dictatorship is Yuwentai's style of acting.

Yuwentai ordered the Eastern Qinzhou Assassin Shi Da Xiwu to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and among the generals of the Western Army, Da Xiwu's ability to change the battle was very strong. When fighting Hongnong, he was ordered to take the left and right horsemen to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. On the way, they encountered a patrol from the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the three of them suddenly attacked. Killed six people, captured three alive, and sent three tongues to Yuwentai, who learned about the situation in Hongnong City and made great contributions to Shun Lì to break the city.

Can Da Xiwu understand the enemy situation smoothly this time? This time, Da Xiwu brought three cavalry with his cronies, and he asked everyone to change into the red robes of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the group dismounted at a place 100 steps away from the Gao Huan camp, where they could clearly hear the movement in the Eastern Wei camp. Soon, Da Xiwu had an unexpected gain. He understood the command in the Eastern Wei camp, so he made a bold decision.

When the sun set and night fell, Da Xiwu got on the horse and pretended to be the night patrol general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and entered the Eastern Wei camp proudly, and the four of them swaggered around the Eastern Wei camp, and when they met the soldiers who broke the law on the road, they raised their whips and pumped them, no one thought that they were spies of the Western Army, and no one dared to doubt them, so Da Xiwu felt the situation in the Eastern Wei camp. Then swaggered out of the camp.

The intelligence brought back by Da Xiwu showed that the Eastern Wei battalion was negligent in defense, and the generals had an all-night banquet, as if they had already begun to drink celebration wine in advance. At dawn, Yuwentai's army arrived at Shayuan. At this time, there was still more than 60 miles away from Gao Huan's camp, and the scouts of the Eastern Army had already found out the news that Yuwentai had arrived at Shayuan, and Gao Huan immediately pulled out the camp and came to Shayuan. The scouts of the Western Army discovered the movements of the Eastern Army. The generals of the Western Army became more and more frightened, and Yuwentai summoned the generals to discuss the battle plan. Everyone had heavy expressions and heavy hearts.

Suddenly. Someone laughed and said: Congratulations to the prime minister, congratulations to the prime minister. Everyone's eyes shot at the person who was laughing, and it turned out to be Yu Wenshen. Everyone was puzzled, and they all went to the ghost gate to congratulate them, and the slave Gan deliberately made something mysterious.

Yu Wentai also said angrily: "The thief army is attacking in a big way, what is there to congratulate?" Yuwen Shen said: "No." Gao Huan is in Hebei and has won the hearts of the people, although he has no strategy, but the people of Kwantung are willing to serve him, so if he sticks to Kwantung, it will be unprofitable.

Now that Gao Huan led the people of the country to cross the river, the soldiers of the Eastern Army must be unwilling to leave their hometowns to fight, and it must be Gao Huan who insisted on coming here in order to avenge Dou Tai's revenge regardless of everyone's opposition. The so-called angry soldiers can be captured in a war.

Isn't it worth celebrating? Please give me a talisman and order Wang Zhen to send troops to ambush Gao Huan on the way back, Gao Huan will definitely die without a place to be buried. "What Nugan said has a point, haha!" Yuwentai was happy, and the generals felt that Yuwenshen's words were not unreasonable, and everyone was a little relieved.

After the First East-West War, Yuwenshen's popularity increased greatly, and he beat Dou Tai to take Hongnong, and there was no last resort, and the generals in Guanzhong were all impressed by his strategy. Since it was not a question of whether to fight or not, but how to fight, everyone began to seek a good way to break the enemy.

Li Bijian yì: The two armies are outnumbered and cannot fight in the field, and there is Weiqu ten miles east of Shayuan, which can be ambushed there. Yuwentai and the others rushed to Weiqu, but in front of them, they saw that the reeds were higher than people's heads, the terrain was narrow, and the roads were muddy, which was really a good terrain for ambush. It was early winter, the reed leaves had turned yellow, the cold wind was blowing, and the reeds rustled.

Yuwentai acted according to the plan, with Li Bi's department on the right and Zhao Gui's department on the left, Yu Jin led a large group of men and horses to ambush in the reeds, and agreed to listen to the sound of drums as a signal to start the attack. Yu Wentai personally led a small number of soldiers to line up east and west to lure the enemy. Governor Wang Ya said to his subordinates: The enemy army is one million, and our army is less than 10,000, and there is no chance of winning according to common sense, but Yuwen Xianggong is martial and wise, assisting the royal family, and fighting against rebellion with obedience. If the eldest husband is not working hard to break the thief at this time, what is the use of being born!

Wang Ya represents the mentality of the middle-level officers of the Western Army, they have been in battle for a long time, and more importantly, they believe in Yuwentai more than they believe in themselves, so no matter what difficulties they encounter, they have the confidence to win, and nothing is more important on the battlefield than believing in their commanders, and nothing is more important than confidence.

The Western Army is quietly waiting for the arrival of the Eastern Army, will Gao Huan come? When the scouts reported that the Western Army had run to Weiqu, the Eastern Army hesitated. The general Hu Lu Qiang raised the building yì Gao Huan to set aside Yuwentai and directly take Xianyang, where the army was empty, and let Yuwentai advance and retreat.

Gao Huan couldn't bear to let Yuwen Taikong wait, since Yuwen Tai was stationed in Weiqu, if a fire was put in the reeds on both sides, the black otter would not be scorched. Hou Jing said with a smile: If you burn the black otter to death, if you don't get it right, you won't see anyone dead or dead, and then the people of Guanzhong don't believe that we have eliminated the black otter. It's better to catch the black otter alive. Before Hou Jing's words fell, Peng Le shouted on the side: "Let's fight one hundred enemies." The black otter is not yet ready to be captured, so we are fighting the western thief in a bright and bright way. Convince them! In that case, move forward!

Gao Huan's intelligence work was messy, and his strategic meaning was too obvious, which was seen by Yuwen Shen. This battle of Xiaoguan was really inexplicable. Dou Tai commanded many Eastern Wei soldiers, but before this battle was fought, Dou Tai lost in a daze.

Gao Huanbing was divided into three ways, he walked on the line of Pubandu, Dou Tai took the middle line of Fenglingdu, and Gao Ao Cao walked down the line of Shangluo. And the distance between Pusaka and Fenglingdu is less than 100 miles. The advantage of a two-line attack cannot be reflected at all. And Gao Huan knew that Dou Tai was impatient, and he also paid heavy military power to lead the defeat.

The Eastern Army Brigade chased to Weiqu, but seeing that the Western Army's position was sparse and sparse, it looked like there were at most a few thousand people, and the Eastern Army was overturned, and the Western thieves dared to love the Western Thief like this.

Monks have more meat and less meat. Whoever grabs it will make meritorious service, rush it! The officers and soldiers of the Eastern Army all fought bravely one by one, and each rushed to kill them, and they couldn't care about the formation for a long time. Now everyone compares horsepower and horsemanship, as if there is gold everywhere in front of them, and whoever runs fast will make a fortune. There are many people, and the road is narrow. The men and horses of the Eastern Army Brigade were forcibly pulled into a long snake. The enemy army had already entered the ambush circle, and Yuwentai gave the order to beat the drums. Yu Jin, who was ambushed in the reeds, and the sixth army quickly killed when he heard the sound of drums, and Yuwentai immediately commanded the battle on a high post.

In the end, there are many people in the Eastern Army. Peng Le, Hu Lu Jin, Hu Lu Qiangju, Hou Jing and others led elite cavalry to and fro, and the Western Army suffered countless casualties and gradually fell into decline. The casualties of Zhao Guibu of the left army were particularly heavy, Luozhou Assassin Shiquan Yuanli was killed by the arrow, Wang Meng's son Qianniu was prepared to be straight, led Wang Li and dozens of forbidden soldiers under the tent to engage the enemy with short soldiers, after cutting down several times the enemy, Wang Li was seriously injured and died of exhaustion.

Wang Liyuan is one of the most promising generals among Yuwentai's relatives, he entered the customs with Yuwentai at the age of seventeen, and has been following Yuwentai around. Wang Li responded and said that he wished to have both.

Later, he led the guards in and out of Emperor Wei's bedroom, married Princess Wendi, and was deeply trusted by the king. A promising young man died, and Yuwentai was a little annoyed. At this time, a knight of the Eastern Army rode straight towards Yuwentai, Yuwentai flashed in a hurry, and Mo Xiaohui, the chief of the long history beside him, was stabbed by the big lance and died. Yuwentai hurriedly stepped forward to repel the Xiao general, who was Hu Luguang, the son of Hu Lujin of Hou Jing's department. Seeing the defeat of the left army, Li Bi of the right army was in a hurry, and in a hurry, he called out the sixty heavy armored cavalry under his command to form a horizontal formation in the north and south, and rushed straight over, cutting the Eastern Wei army into two at once.

Li Bi's younger brother Li Biao crossed the horse and carried a spear to charge forward, Li Biao was no more than five feet long, hidden in the saddle armor, but from a distance, he saw the iron horse neighing and the spear flying, the Eastern Army suffered countless casualties, and some people shouted: Avoid this child! Yuwen Taiyuan has also heard of Li Biao's bravery, and he can't help but be impressed when he sees it today: But if you have the courage to do this, why do you need an eight-foot body! Under the impact of Li Bi's iron cavalry, the Eastern Army lost contact with each other before and after, and fought separately, the governor could not find soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the governor, and the Eastern Army participated in the war and was in chaos.

The former general of the Western Wei Dynasty and the doctor of Zhongsan, Wuchuan Geng Linggui, killed a lot of wounds, and his clothes and armor were stained red by blood. Another general of the Western Army, Wang Ya, rose to the rise, simply took off his armor and led his own soldiers to fight on foot, pointing his spear at the place, invincible. In hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry was not as flexible as the infantry, and the sand and mud caused the advantage of the heavy armored cavalry of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to be lost.

The Yuanzhou soldiers of Li Yuan, the general of the Eastern Expedition, won a lot, and Li Yuan's horses were full of the severed heads of the Western Army. Dugu Ruwish, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Shu Hui, Dou Chi and others led their troops to kill the enemy bravely, and the Western Army gradually gained the upper hand. Dugu Ruwish, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Shu Hui, Dou Chi, Li Yuan and others led their troops to fight bravely against the enemy, and the Western Army gradually gained the upper hand.

The Eastern Wei general Peng Le was drunk last night, and he has not completely sobered up, and his belly was cut open by the enemy's horse lance in a daze, and his intestines flowed out, and he had to say that Peng Le was very human, and he actually pressed his intestines into it to continue to fight, but unfortunately, not everyone was like Peng Le, and many Eastern Wei soldiers lost confidence and threw away their weapons and surrendered.

In the narrow and limited space of the river meander, the large number of people is not dominant, and seeing their men and horses being rushed to pieces by the enemy, they can't organize decent resistance at all, and they want to cry without tears, and if they continue to fight like this, it is not a failure but a fiasco. If it is a basketball game, when you are overwhelmed by the opponent, you can quickly call a stop, have a halftime break, and tell a few words before playing, but unfortunately, there is no half-time stop rule in the war. If you can't control the enemy, you can control your own people.

Gao Huan ordered Zhang Huayuan to take the roster to roll call, he wanted to gather the soldiers together first, but seeking a good way to break the enemy, Zhang Huayuan was obedient and went with the book, but unfortunately, the battlefield was chaotic, whether it was chanting in Xianbei or shouting in Chinese, no one was willing to listen, and after shouting for a while, Zhang Huayuan's voice was hoarse, and he didn't call many people.

Zhang Huayuan looked at Gao Huan with a helpless expression. Gao Huan was also dumbfounded, but he was always unwilling in his heart, could he have lost like this? Alas, I originally planned to burn Weiqu with a fire, if it wasn't for Hou Gouzi saying that no one would believe that the black otter would be burned to death, if I listened to Hu Lu Qiang's division of troops to take Chang'an's Jianyì, if when crossing the river according to Gouzi's words, the soldiers could be divided into two ways to respond to each other, a qiē should be a matter of fact!

There is also that reckless man Peng Le, who has been arguing with me and my widows, and one of a hundred people is captured, which is annoying! Gao Huan's heart was mixed, with tears in his eyes, and he was stunned. Hu Lujin rushed to Gao Huan's horse and persuaded: The shape is critical, the hearts of the people are scattered, it seems that there is no turning over today, hurry up and cross the river to the east. Gao Huan didn't hear it, Hu Lujin was in a hurry, pulled Gao Huan's horse's head, raised the horsewhip and whipped Gao Huan's war horse fiercely, and the war horse screamed and carried Gao Huan to the east. (To be continued......)
