The weather is getting warmer and the snow is starting to melt.

Xun Yu's busy feet don't touch the ground, and he hasn't been born in peace for a winter. Chang'an initially decided that the situation in the Sanfu area was erosive, and how to deal with it was a big problem, and most of the counties did not have county commanders, so they had to temporarily exercise military management.

However, the problem is that it is really difficult to straighten out government affairs if military management is implemented.

Xun Yu was busy visiting the Guan Sergeant clan every day, but with little success.

Those Guan sergeant clans have a lot of opinions about Luo Zheng, and they would rather be idle at home than be a leader.

Jia Xu, the old fox, saw that it was not a way to go on like this, and as soon as he coerced and lured, the old oil and salt were not soaked, so he attracted a group of those small ones who were eager to make contributions, and then used this as a step to beat those old ones.

No, he really found a talent.

Fa Yan's son, Fa Zheng, is extremely agile and quite strategic.

As soon as Jia Xu took the exam, he greatly appreciated it and immediately recommended it to Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng had some impression of Fa Zheng, and was recommended by Jia Xu, so he was immediately extended to serve as a military adviser and Jia Xu's deputy.

When Sergeant Guan saw it, this was terrible.

A newcomer, with no qualifications and no backstage, can be reused and go straight to the center, which is worth it.

With an example, the Guan Sergeant clan began to slowly change the direction of the wind.

The pursuit of fame and fortune is the nature of human beings, and scholars are also human beings, so how can they be an exception.

The reason why the Guan Sergeant clan has a bad impression of Luo Zheng is because Luo Zheng once wantonly killed the Shi clan, and he fought silently out of a psychology of self-preservation, and he didn't really regard fame as dung.

Since there is an opportunity to be an official, and he can also be a big official, who will continue to do nothing.

Especially those who pride themselves on their talents, but have never met them, they can't bear it anymore.

Spring is about to begin, and Xun Yu has to organize spring ploughing. It is also necessary to select officials, do their best to straighten out government affairs, and worry about everything. Therefore, I have been so busy that I don't even have time to write a letter to my family, let alone go back to Longxian Province.

The Sanfu area has just been laid. It hasn't been completely stabilized yet.

Luo Zheng's family is still in Longxian, and he hasn't seen him for a winter, and Xun Yu naturally can't see his wife and son.

In February, the spring breeze blew the green fields. After a winter's silence, the Central Plains and the land of Guanzhong boiled again.

As soon as the snow melted, Gao Shun led the army out of Zheng County, and the troops approached Huayin.

When Zhang Ji heard the news, he hurriedly led his army to Huayin to resist the enemy. He also sent the envoy to Li Dao and Yang Feng for help.

Li Ji folded 10,000 soldiers and horses last year, and hated Zhang Ji too, plus the lack of grain harvest in the autumn of last year, the spring was the time when there was the most shortage of money and food, and there was no money to compensate the soldiers who died in battle, how could he still have the strength to send troops.

Yang Fengzhi sent Xu Huang to continue to lead the army of 8,000 and go out of Xiangxiang to help.

Chang'an, Luo Zheng's official residence.

Cheng Ying quickly stepped into the side hall and bowed his hand to Luo Zheng: "Lord! ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', "Is there any news?" ”

Cheng Ying replied: "The news has been sent back by the fine work. Yang Feng's subordinate general Xu Huang led 8,000 troops south to Huayin, and met the 20,000 troops of General Gao Shun in the area of Qixiang and Zhang Ji, and the defenders of Anyi should be about 2,000. ”

"Oh! Very good. ”

Luo Zheng nodded slightly. His brow furrowed again.

Jia Xu, the old fox, immediately knew what Luo Zheng was worried about, and immediately said: "Lord, this attack on Anyi is a temporary plan, even if it doesn't work, our army can also attack Guanzhong step by step, and the lord doesn't have to go in person!" ”

Luo Zheng said: "If this general doesn't go in person, who can be up to the job?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "There is no shortage of generals under the command of the lord who can fight well, and he only needs to punish one general to lead the army." ”

Cheng Ying also nodded again and again: "What the military advisor said is extremely true. Totally agree with the following. ”

Luo Zheng immediately understood that Jia Xu was admonishing himself euphemistically. It is necessary to give more opportunities for the commanders and generals under him to experience and express themselves, and they cannot do everything by themselves. Otherwise, what do you have to do with the generals?

The surprise attack on Anyi is only an unplanned strategy, and even if it does not work, it will not affect the overall strategy of Heluoguan.

In this case, it is better to give the opportunity to the generals under him.

Generals are fought, and great progress can only be made in one war after another.

With the continuous expansion of the territory under his rule, the opponents and various situations he faces will be more complicated, and he cannot be separated from many places.

Therefore, it has become a top priority to let the generals who lead the troops grow up as much as possible.

Luo Zheng asked, "Then who can lead the troops?" ”

Jia Xu said: "I think that General Zhang Liao is incompetent." ”

"Zhang Liao?"

Luo Zheng pondered for a while, and then said categorically: "Good, according to Wen He's opinion, quickly summon Zhang Zhao to come." ”

"Yes!"

A pro-soldier had already agreed, and immediately ran out.

At the north gate of Huayin, Zhang Ji climbed to the top of the city surrounded by his own soldiers to observe the battle in the distance.

After the arrival of Xu Huang's army, he did not garrison Huayin City, but set up a camp a few miles north of Huayin, which corresponded to Huayin Yao and became horns for each other, blocking the eastward advance of Gaoshun's army.

If Gao Shun attacked Xu Huang, Zhang Ji led the army to attack his flank.

If Gao Shun attacks Zhang Ji, Xu Huang will definitely lead the army to the rescue.

A few miles away, the war drums were shocking, the sound of killing was boiling, standing at the head of Huayin City, although it was not very real, but it could also be seen that Gao Shun's army was attacking the Xu Huang camp, and it didn't look like a feint.

"Uncle!"

Zhang Xiu hurriedly said: "Xu Huang only has 8,000 foot soldiers, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop Gao Shun's tiring onslaught!" ”

Zhang Ji frowned and said: "Wait, don't underestimate the enemy, so as not to fall into the scheme." Has Jin Rong forgotten Li Li's defeat? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Xiu was taken aback, and her eyes were awe-inspiring in an instant.

Last year, Li Li was lured out of the camp by Gao Shun's design, and was defeated in a battle, not only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, but Li Li was beheaded by Gao Shun on the spot, such a bloody lesson, how can you forget.

However, Gao Shun led the army to storm Xu Huang's camp, and the situation was really not good.

Originally, Xu Huang had few soldiers and horses, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to withstand Gao Shun's onslaught.

What's more, Xu Huang is here to help, now that Zhang Ji's army is hiding in Huayin City, Xu Huang's army not only has to face the onslaught of Gaoshun's army alone, but Zhang Ji has not sent troops to rescue, but it is a little too much to say.

Zhang Xiu thinks. If you change yourself, most of the time you will run as far as you can, and whoever is wronged will go.

But. Xu Huang, that guy has some skills.

Gao Shun's army attacked several times, but failed to break through Xu Huang's camp.

That's why. Zhang Jicai felt that Gao Shun was feintting, and he kept his troops still, and did not dare to go out of the city to save Xu Huang, so as not to fall into Gao Shun's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

When it was almost evening, Gao Shun led the army to retreat.

Xu Huang ordered the soldiers to hurry up and repair the camp defense, and at the same time personally inspected the camp with a calm face.

"General!"

An adjutant general looked at Xu Huang's face and said angrily: "Lord County Shou asked us to help Zhang Ji fight off Luo Zheng." But now we are here to fight with Gao Shun's army, but Zhang Ji is hiding in Huayin City and not coming out, what is the reason? ”

"Don't whine!"

Xu Huang waved his hand and said: "Zhang Ji only has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and the combined strength of our two armies is not as good as Gao Shun's." I heard that Li Li's nephew Li Li was lured out of the camp by Gao Shun, and the remaining 10,000 troops were broken in a battle, and Li Li was killed on the spot, and was decapitated by Gao Shun, how could he be careless. Zhang Ji's approach was right, perhaps Gao Shun wanted to lure Zhang Ji's army out of Huayin. ”

The deputy department said angrily: "But Gao Shun has stormed our army's camp in the past few days. is simply going all out, how can there be any spare strength to deal with Zhang Ji's army. If Zhang Ji does not send troops again, there will be ten more days at most. Our army will not be able to hold the camp. ”

Xu Huang thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Hold on for a few more days, if Zhang Ji still doesn't fight, we will retreat to Hedong!" ”

"Yes!"

Only then did the deputy department perk up and walked quickly.

At night, the Gaoshun camp.

"General, what should I do if Zhang Jina doesn't fight?"

A small colonel looked at Gao Shun, who was expressionless, and couldn't help asking.

Gao Shun's furrowed brows loosened slightly, and he said, "Zhang Ji is worthy of being a veteran of a hundred battles. It's not as reckless as Li Li. Our army stormed Xu Huang's camp for nearly ten days, but this person still did not move. It's really forbearing! ”

A general asked, "Then do our army want to continue to attack Xu Huang's camp?" ”

"Of course you have to fight, why not?"

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "If Zhang Ji has been standing still. Our army will first break through Xu Huang's camp, and then clean up Zhang Ji. However, Xu Huang, as a guest army, came to Hongnong to help in the war, but Zhang Ji did not move, and the longer he dragged on, he would inevitably centrifuge. Even if Xu Huang knew that Zhang Ji was right to stand still, the soldiers under his command would not think so, they would only think that Zhang Ji wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and after a long time, if Zhang Ji did not fight, Xu Huang would inevitably lead the army to withdraw, and would not fight to the death with our army! ”

The generals nodded again and again: "The general is right, but this Xu Huang has never heard of it, he has a hand in leading the troops, our army has attacked the east camp of the River Army for nearly ten days, and he can't break through his camp, this Xu Huang is really a character!" ”

Gao Shunshen thought and said: "Although the Hedong Army is poorly equipped, it is well dispatched and well defended, so that our army has no chance to take advantage of, Xu Huang is indeed not a simple character, it can be seen that there are many capable people in the world, we must not be proud and complacent and underestimate the heroes of the world, you need to personally lead the troops to take turns to keep vigil at night in case of being attacked by Xu Huang." ”

"Yes!"

The generals responded in unison, and they have always done so, and they will keep vigil in person without Gao Shun's orders.

Gao Shun, as the main general, had to get up three or four times every night to personally inspect the camp and cheer up the guards guarding the mansion. The Lord will lead by example, and how dare these commanders and colonels below fail to fulfill their duties and neglect their duties.

The next day, the army poured out again and went to attack Xu Huang's camp.

Zhang Ji saw it clearly in Huayin City, but he still had to hesitate to send troops to support.

Zhang Xiu personally took the scouts to inquire about the military situation, and came back to Zhang Ji after a short time and said: "Uncle, Gao Shun is indeed attacking Xu Huang's camp with all his might, not a feint. If our army does not send troops to support, Xu Huang is afraid that it will be difficult to hold the camp, and it is really possible to be broken by Gao Shun at that time, so the little nephew thinks that our army must take the initiative to attack and disperse the pressure for Xu Huang. ”

Zhang Ji pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, how many defenders are there in the Gaoshun camp?" ”

Zhang Xiudao: "I don't know the specifics, but according to the little nephew, Gao Shun's strength to attack Xu Huang's camp should be between 16,000 and 18,000, so the remaining troops in Gao Shun's camp should be between 2,000 and 4,000." ”

Zhang Jidao: "That being the case, Jin Rong can lead 8,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to attack the Gaoshun camp!" ”

"Little nephew obeys!"

Zhang Xiu took the order with great enthusiasm, and immediately rushed down the city and went out of the city to order troops.

On a mound to the left of Xu Huang's camp. Gao Shun stood solemnly under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers, staring at the battlefield hundreds of steps away with an expressionless face, the army was indeed attacking the Xu Huang camp. But it was not as tragic as imagined.

Luo Zheng did not allow the soldiers to take their lives to fill the city, and the generals under him naturally remembered this instruction.

If the army of more than 10,000 people is pressed with all its might. At most, one day and one night will determine the winner and loser.

Just like the attack on Chang'an, if you don't break the city, you will never retreat, but the price paid is heavy.

Most of the time, the war is an offensive and defensive, advancing and retreating, fighting for a round, and then changing a group of people to continue fighting. No matter which side the commander of the army is, he will try his best to avoid the endless death.

Even if the side with the superior strength will try to avoid this kind of behavior of injuring 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted.

Because once the enemy army cannot be defeated and the battle falls into a stalemate, even if you can kill all the enemy troops, you will definitely pay a lot of casualties, which is a result that every commander does not want to see.

So more often than not, the two warring sides will refrain from attacking, even if it is in turn. The side with the superior strength will try to consume the body of the opposing soldier until more and more soldiers are injured on the other side, and the body is almost consumed. Only then will they concentrate their superior forces to break through the battle and complete the battle.

Gao Shun is now using this tactic, and the remaining 10,000 troops are divided into ten teams to attack Xu Huang's camp in turn, while creating wounded soldiers for Xu Huang as much as possible, while looking for opportunities to attack Xu Huang's camp.

But it's a pity that Xu Huang's camp defense is very tightly arranged, and he can't find a chance at all.

At least for the time being, there is no chance, and you can only choose to attack.

There weren't many soldiers actually killed, but there were quite a few wounded.

Fortunately, Luo Zheng has never spared no effort in the treatment of wounded soldiers. In addition to the cavalry running long distances, most of the time the army carried a large number of retinues. Wounded soldiers are treated as soon as possible.

All kinds of linen, herbs and other materials needed to treat the wounded soldiers were brought in sufficient quantities when they were sent out.

As long as there are enough supplies. Wounded soldiers will not die, flesh wounds can be used to pick up a knife and cut people in a few days, and if the injuries are slightly serious, lying for ten days and a half months can also restore their mobility, unless they break their hands and feet or suffer fatal injuries.

Luo Zheng recuperated in Liangzhou for two years, saving not only grain and grass, but also these materials.

It's not just the soldiers who fight, it's all about it.

The sages have summed up the true truth, the people are rich, the country is strong, and the country is strong.

This is not an empty word, but a truth that is not easy to come by.

Only by enriching all kinds of materials can the combat effectiveness of the army become stronger and stronger, and the injured soldiers can be treated at the first time, so that their injuries will not deteriorate and die, so as to become a real veteran.

And a real iron-blooded army is composed of countless such veterans.

The fierce battle continued, and the wounded soldiers were constantly carried over, and they were sent to the rear army as soon as possible.

Lang Zhong, who went out with the army, would first pick the wounds and treat them more seriously, and then after collecting the troops and returning to the camp, he would treat all the wounded soldiers more carefully, after all, this is a battlefield, not a medical hall.

Lang Zhong, who went with the army, only had to ensure that the injuries of the seriously injured soldiers did not continue to deteriorate.

Gao Shun looked at the battlefield in front of him expressionlessly, silently counting the soldiers who died in battle.

Although the 20,000 Tuntian soldiers are well-trained, most of them are new recruits, and it is inevitable to panic when they go to the battlefield, which is something that every soldier and even the commander of the army must experience, and they can only become a veteran after a few battles.

And the life of recruits is also fragile, and the mortality rate on the death field is much higher than that of veterans.

What Gao Shun can do now is to minimize the number of soldiers killed, it doesn't matter if he is injured or bleeding, as long as he is not killed or crippled on the spot, he still has the opportunity to pick up a knife and cut people.

"Newspaper—"

At this moment, a scout horse quickly galloped from afar.

Gao Shun's expression froze, and he immediately turned his head to look over.

The scout soldiers rushed to the front and said loudly: "Report, general, Zhang Ji has sent troops." ”

"Zhang Ji sent troops?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Gao Shun's mouth, but it was a little cold.

The surrounding generals also clamored, and after waiting for almost ten days, Zhang Jina's old fox was finally willing to come out.

Gao Shun waved his hand, "Let's go, do what you want!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals responded in unison and hurriedly followed. (To be continued) R640
