The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.
On the Guanling Ridge in the eastern part of the mountain, Li Mi was standing in the small mountain temple with his hands in his hands, looking at the colorful peach tree in the quiet courtyard alone. At this time, the peach blossoms in Luoyang have long been gone, but in a small mountain temple on this mountain, the peach blossoms have only bloomed slowly.
Looking at the peach blossoms blooming all over the trees, Li Mi was stunned.
The fifth day of the fourth month is the beginning of the Qingming season in the 24 solar terms of the year. In the Qingming season, the spring is bright, the earth is thriving, everything is refreshing, and the scenery is bright.
It's just that although this year's Qingming Festival is still bright and bright, the earth is thriving, and the scenery is bright, Li Mi's heart is gloomy, and it can't be bright.
On the night of the second day of the first month of April, his 10,000 naval divisions were annihilated by the Chen and Zheng combined forces, and then the Chen and Zheng combined forces rushed to land, and he ordered the long-awaited Wei army to attack, but the result was not that they drove Chen Kefu and Wang Xuanying down the Yellow River, but were beaten by Wang Xuanying's Jianghuai army.
The 60,000-strong army almost collapsed on the whole line, and if it weren't for the 50,000 soldiers and horses behind who arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Rao responded in time, but with the 10,000 miscellaneous sailors who had been destroyed before, he had already lost almost 30,000 horses from the evening to noon of the second day of the first month.
Li Mi has never experienced such a fiasco since following Yang Xuangan in the ninth year of the Great Cause. 120,000 people ambushed the other side, but they were defeated by the other side, losing three horses.
A big defeat at Luokoutan made Li Mi, who was originally complacent and excited, usher in a blow to the head. This stick woke up Li Mi's original plan at once.
After this battle, he realized how ridiculous his original plan was to ambush Chen Kefu in Luokou and capture him alive.
Not only that, but now Li Mi has already regretted it, even if he washes all the water from Luoshui and the Yellow River, he can't wash away his regret. He never thought that Luokou's ambush would eventually put him in a difficult situation.
On the third day of the fourth month, in Luokou, except for the Hebei naval division, which showed off their tall warships and powerful firearms, the Hebei army, which did not participate in the battle, suddenly appeared in Luokou Cangcheng, dozens of miles behind him.
Like a divine soldier descending from heaven, 30,000 Hebei troops raided his grain and grass base, seized Cangcheng, which was only guarded by 10,000 defenders, and also took away his 20 million stone grain and grass. Not only that, but the 30,000 Hebei army occupied Cangkou Cangcheng to the death, cutting off his back road.
Hearing the news, Li Mi only felt dizzy for a while, and almost fainted.
Luokou Cangcheng was lost, and the 10,000 Wei troops were all gone, and Li Mi was more concerned about the 20 million stone grain in the Cangcheng, which was two-thirds of all his military rations at this time. Even the grain and grass of the 100,000 Wei troops in Luokou at this time were all in Cangcheng, and without the grain and grass in Cangcheng, the grain and grass they brought was only enough for three days to eat.
Just as Li Mi was preparing to immediately return to the division to recapture Cangcheng, there was another urgent military situation at noon on the 3rd, Chen Kefu personally led 15,000 Hebei soldiers to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Tiger Prison guard Huang Jun Hanyin was the internal response, and five captains including Niu Jinda were held hostage to surrender the city.
When Li Mi heard the news, he was in the big tent, discussing with the generals to recapture Luokou Cangcheng, when he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted immediately after reading the letter. Luokou Cangcheng was seized, and Li Mi was still determined to take it back. After all, Luokou Cangcheng was surrounded on three sides by Yanshi, Baihua Valley and their Luokou army.
However, the news of the fall of the Tiger Prison directly made Li Mi's blow almost unrecoverable. Luokou Cangcheng was Li Mi's grain and grass logistics base, but Hujiao was the strongest fortress he defended against Hebei and Shandong in the east, and it was also an advance base for him to attack Hebei, and it was also a weapon and armor manufacturing base for the Wei army. But now, the Tiger Prison Xiongguan was taken by Chen Kefu without blood. …,
He not only lost another 10,000 soldiers and horses, but also lost one of the most important passes, and also gave Chen Kefu three million stones, grains and grass, countless armor, bows, knives, soldiers, guns and spears in the Tiger Prison Pass.
Not only that, the Wei army first lost the Luokou warehouse and then the tiger prison, but it was already equivalent to cutting off the 100,000 Wei troops in Luokou from the east and west, and completely surrounded them. Luokou ambush, originally planned to surround and ambush Chen Kefu, but now, he lost the city and lost his land all of a sudden, but fell into Chen Kefu's encirclement, and even most of the grain and grass weapons of Wei State also fell into the hands of Chen Kefu, how could Li Mi not be in a hurry, how could he not be surprised.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and Li Mi now experienced this feeling.
The battle of Luokou was lost, and Li Yuan, who originally thought it was a treasure, suddenly died in his army, and then Luokou Cang fell, and all the grain and grass were lost. Then the tiger prison was lost again, the things were blocked, and it was surrounded on three sides.
Originally, Li Mi was looking forward to inflicting a heavy blow on Chen Po's army in Luokou, and then turned around and swept Henan, sent troops to Hedong, and completely annexed the Jianghuai army and territory of the Wang family. But in the end, it was just a ridiculous daydream, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into a dangerous situation.
It's just that when people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and it is less than half a day after the news of the fall of the tiger prison on the third day of the first month. On the night of the fourth day, there was an urgent report from the east, after Chen Kefu took the tiger prison, he left 5,000 men and horses to garrison the tiger prison, and took the remaining 10,000 Hebei troops and 10,000 in the original tiger prison pass to surrender to the Wei army, with lightning speed, all the way to the east, on the afternoon of the 3rd, its forward arrived at Xingshui County, and Wei Daring, who was stationed in Xingshui, led 3,000 subordinates to surrender in Kaicheng.
Subsequently, the Hebei army rushed all the way and rushed to the city of Zhidacheng in Xingyang County before dark. Meng Rang, the head of the city, finally did not disappoint Li Mi, Meng Rang resolutely refused to surrender, but his persistence only lasted less than half a day. In the middle of the night, the Hebei army raided the water gate of Guancheng and quickly took Guancheng. The 30,000 defenders of Guancheng were defeated, and Meng Rang committed suicide in defeat.
On the fourth day, Chen Kefu took advantage of the situation to attack Xingze City, and broke through the south gate of Xingze City in only half an hour, taking advantage of the situation to take Xingze City in one fell swoop.
Also on the fourth day of the first month, Luo Yi, the general of Hebei, led 30,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River from Ji County, captured the Baima Ferry in Dongjun on the south bank of the Yellow River, and quickly divided his troops to sweep the cities of Dongjun. On the same day, Hebei General Li Jing sent 20,000 soldiers and horses from Lu County and Pengcheng County to attack Jibei, Dongping, Jiyin, and Liang counties at the same time.
The armies of Chen Kefu, Luo Yi, and Li Jing swept through the six counties like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and the reorganized rebel armies sent by Li Mi to garrison the six counties were completely defeated with one blow, fled in despair, and surrendered one after another.
The attack of the Hebei Army's three-way army is better than a hunting. There are dozens of cities in the six counties, and there are as many as 200,000 rebel troops, but in front of the total of only 100,000 people on the three roads of Hebei, none of them can hold on to the enemy.
What's even more amazing is that the 200,000 rebels from all walks of life can't beat the Hebei army, but they can't even run away from the rebels. In the face of the light cavalry chasing from Hebei, they surrendered one after another, often sometimes thousands of Wei troops, but were chased by dozens of Hebei troops, and finally thousands of people surrendered to dozens of Hebei troops.
In less than two days, the six counties of Jibei, Dongping, Jiyin, Liangjun, Dongjun, and Xingyang County, except for Jindiguan, all fell into the hands of Chen Kefu. To the east of the canal, all of them fell. Dozens of cities, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, all destroyed. The Hebei Army, on the other hand, did not suffer the slightest damage at all.
In the early morning of the 5th, the 100,000 Hebei army, carrying the 200,000 prisoners they had taken along the way, finally rushed to the Jindi Pass in Xingyang to converge.
More than 300,000 men and horses, banners like the sea, swords and guns are better than snow, soldiers are like ants!
The Jindi guard sent Bing Yuanzhen's urgent report to the Luokou Wei army camp in the afternoon, but in the face of this rescue emergency, everyone didn't know how to deal with it. …,
There was a sound of light footsteps in the temple, and Li Mi did not look back.
"King Wei, you haven't eaten for two days, if you go on like this, your body will have to cross first." Shen Luoyan stood on Li Mi's side, and his face was much clearer.
Li Mi sighed, "Today is the time to pay tribute to the ancestors during the Qingming Festival, and I should have comforted the ancestors with a big victory. But now, I am anxious and in danger on all sides. What face do I have to face my fathers and fathers? ”
"King Wei must not grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige. Chen Kefu was just cunning for a while, calculating or unintentional, but now it seems that the news that Master Fang brought back must have been deliberately released by Chen Kefu. Shen Luoyan stood under the peach blossom tree and persuaded gently.
Li Mi hadn't fallen asleep for several days, and after a few days, his eye sockets were deep, Yin Tang was blue, and his face was pale. He often sighed, "Lone still underestimated Chen Pojun, this son is very good." In just a few days, 300,000 troops, six counties, dozens of cities, and tens of millions of stones and grains have been wiped out. ”
"King Wei, it's not time to lament at this time, although we have lost dozens of cities in six counties and 300,000 soldiers and horses. But in fact, except for the more than 10,000 soldiers who were lost in Luokou, the rest were just a rabble who came to vote. These people are just a numerical name to us, and they are useless in a real war, and Guan Jian still has to rely on King Wei's own 300,000 Tiger Ben elite army. As long as these tigers are not lost, the king of Wei has not lost. Now what we really care about is not the dozens of cities in the six counties that were lost, and the 300,000 rabble, what we really care about is the 20 million stones, grains and grass in Luokou Cangcheng, and the besieged General Bing Yuanzhen and the 50,000 elites of the Wei King under his command. ”
Li Mi nodded slowly, "What the military advisor said is exact, we will immediately gather all the civil and military forces to discuss this matter and come up with a strategy as soon as possible." ”——
