Chapter 942: The Battle of Weishui (2)

The depth has been deep, and Yu Wenshi and still tossing and turning and unable to sleep. The concubine Yang sat up in a cloak and raised her slender jade hand to help him gently knead his shoulders. Yu Wenshi looked back in the dark at this delicate Yang family with the status of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, although this concubine was not only noble, but also beautiful like a flower, but this could not make up for the depression in his heart.

When he was young, he was able to marry Princess Nanyang because his father Yuwenshu was Yang Guang's confidant, and I don't know how many people envy this favor. And although Princess Nanyang is the daughter of the emperor, she is extremely virtuous, filial to his father, considerate to him, and gave birth to a son for him, which makes him love Princess Nanyang very much.

But such a good princess wife was robbed by the damn Chen Kefu. At the beginning, Princess Nanyang took her son into the palace to see Princess Yun, but she was mistaken for Princess Izumo by Chen Pojun's subordinates and kidnapped to Liaodong, and never returned.

Several years have passed, and the whereabouts of his wife have long been inquired. It's okay two years earlier, although Princess Nanyang is trapped in Hebei, there is still hope. But now, he has heard more than once that his wife, Princess Nanyang, has become a concubine in Chen Pojun's harem, and even heard that even his son Yuwen Zen Master has now recognized the thief Chen Pojun as his father.

The hatred of snatching wives and children!

Although he was named the King of Qin of the Great Xu Kingdom, he knew that he didn't know how many people were laughing at him behind his back.

"King, Imjin Guan Han King urgently!"

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and the captain of the guards whispered outside the door.

"The third watch in the middle of the night also sent the newspaper, what's the urgency?"

Yu Wenshi and Ben couldn't sleep either. At this time, when he heard the words, he simply put on his clothes and stood up. When he went out, he saw the guards waiting outside with an acquaintance.

"Yuanli, why are you? You're not in Imjin, what are you doing here? ”

Yuan Li's face was embarrassed, covered with mud, and he was even wearing a set of Taoist clothes, making a taxi attire. As soon as he saw Yu Wenshiji, he immediately said loudly: "King, the big thing is not good, and Imjin is in danger." Please send troops immediately, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"You tell me in detail, what's wrong with Imjin?" Yu Wenshi also felt a pang of worry.

"That Chen Jun didn't know where he suddenly came out, yesterday he raided and took Feng Yicheng, and then rushed to attack Imjin Pass. Fortunately, the king of Han commanded well, and the soldiers used their lives to temporarily block the Chen thief. However, although it was blocked for a while, the thief Chen was fierce, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to hold it for a long time. The king of Han ordered the king to break through and report it. Ask the King of Qin to send troops to rescue quickly! Yuan Li cried, his face full of worry.

"What? Feng Yi is lost? Yu Wenshi only felt dizzy. I almost passed out. This Feng Yi is one of the important towns in Guanzhong, how could such a big city be suddenly lost, and he didn't even send out the slightest warning signal before. "Where did Chen Jun come from, who led it, and how many men and horses did he have?"

"There are not many people, about 15,000, including 5,000 female soldiers, look at the flag. It's Chen Pojun's pro-rate! ”

"Chen Pojun, it's this damn Chen Pojun again!" When Yu Wenshi heard that it was Chen Pojun, he was already gritting his teeth angrily, eager to suck blood and knock the marrow, and eat meat.

"Ten thousand soldiers, how can they suddenly take Feng Yi, is Yang Qiantong a dead man. What about the 5,000 men under his command? What's more, there are still 2,000 palace guards in Changchun Palace, and these 7,000 people are all dead? Even if there are 7,000 pigs, before they are killed, they know how to snort a few times. Flee in all directions, so as to give everyone a warning signal! ”

Yuan Li secretly raised his sleeves to wipe the spit that was sprayed on his face, and said softly: "It's all the damned brothers He Ruolong and He Ruodong, the two thieves not only surrendered to the enemy in front of the Xiao Pass formation, but also caused our army to be defeated, so that the King of Jin was defeated and killed himself." And this time he personally led the way, he was familiar with the defense of our army, and found someone to persuade Feng Yi to join the old department in the city, and secretly opened the city gate to let Chen Jun enter the city, so that our army lost Feng Yi unprepared. ”

"King, Chen Pojun has always been extremely arrogant, and he only has ten thousand five centaurs in his hands, so he dares to go deep into the Guanzhong alone. What's more, he also brought 5,000 female soldiers, and he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my lord, and since there is no door to hell for him to break into, we will fulfill him. The King of Han is now holding on to Pujin Pass, and Chen Pojun will never be able to take it for a while. As long as the King of Qin sent troops to rescue, he happened to be surrounded on both sides, attacked inside and outside, and captured Chen Pojun alive in one fell swoop. As long as Chen Pojun is captured alive, not only Pujin Pass can be solved, but the deadlock on the side of the Lantian King of Changwu City can also be broken immediately, if it is not good, we may be able to take this opportunity to take the entire Guanlong in one fell swoop! ”

Yu Wenshi and his heart were moved.

He gritted his teeth with hatred for Chen Pojun, and the hatred of taking his wife, there was no greater hatred than this.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, Ben Shuai immediately led 15,000 men and horses to reinforce Pujin." Please ask Zuo Xiaowei General Jing Yuanheng to stay in Tongguan, with General Jing here, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers, you can be worry-free. ”

Yuan Li rolled his eyes and said, "In order to be foolproof, the king should bring more soldiers." According to the general, there are not many enemy troops outside Tongguan, so it is better to take 20,000 horses and leave 10,000 to guard Tongguan. In addition, it is better to send fast horses to Chang'an, and let His Majesty also transfer 10,000 or 20,000 horses to Imjin Pass. Although Chen Po's army is small, this person cannot be underestimated, the lion fights the rabbit, and he will do his best. Not to mention that Pujin is the gate of the east side gate, even Feng Yi is also an important town of my Xu country, we must not lose anything, and we must recapture it as soon as possible. ”

Yu Wenshi thought about it, nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered Jing Wuheng, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to lead 10,000 horses to guard Tongguan. He led 20,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Pujin, and sent Liang Yuanli, Zhang Jun, and Cui Shi to accompany the army. and immediately sent an urgent messenger to Chang'an, asking the emperor to send an army of reinforcements, be sure to recapture Feng Yi, and capture Chen Po's army alive.

Guanzhong, also known as the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in ancient times, Tongguan is the gate to enter Guanzhong. The Yellow River flows south through the Loess Plateau, encounters the east-west Huashan Mountains near Tongguan, and then turns at a right angle to the east, changing from a north-south direction to an east-west river. Tongguan is located on the south bank of the Yellow River that has just turned the corner, with the steep bank of the Yellow River in the north and the Huashan Mountains in the south, and is the only junction along the south bank of the Yellow River into the Guanzhong Plain.

Crossing the west end of the Zhongtiao Mountain Range on the north bank of the Yellow River, and entering the Hedong Plain, there is the Puhanjin Ferry that can cross the Yellow River in the west.

In short, after crossing the Yellow River from Tongguan to the north, it is necessary to cross the Zhongtiao Mountain Range in the north, travel more than 100 miles of steep mountain roads, and enter the Hedong Plain to reach the east bank of the Puhanjin Ferry.

The danger of the Yellow River is greater than that of Tongguan. The Yellow River is different from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which has a large amount of water, a wide river surface, and a thousand-mile shoreline. There are many tributaries on both sides of the river, and a large number of large warships can be gathered, and tens of thousands of troops can flock to the shore by boat. There were only a few ferries at the crossing of the Yellow River, and only a few hundred people could cross at a time, and if there were thousands of enemy defenders on the opposite bank, the hundreds of people who crossed would be slaughtered by the defenders in an instant.

Chen Jun had previously built a suspension bridge upstream, which could be described as a strange soldier who took an unusual path. However, this suspension bridge connects Hedong and Longshang, and the threat to Guanzhong is not too great. But now that the Chen army is attacking Pujin, it makes Yu Wenhua very nervous. Once Chen Kefu takes Pujin, it will be equivalent to opening up the Qin-Jin channel. At that time, there will be a steady stream of Chen troops entering Guanzhong from then on, stepping on the land of Guanzhong, and Tongguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, will no longer be useful to Chen Jun.

The Wei River, which flows through the Guanzhong Plain and runs east-west, merges into the east of the Yellow River at the bend of the Yellow River near Tongguan. The Wei River is different from the Yellow River, the Yellow River is rapid, the banks are mostly cliffs, and only a few ferries can be transitioned; The Wei River is gentle, the two banks are flat, and pontoon bridges can be erected everywhere. Once Chen's army opened the Pusaka passage and the army crossed westward, there was no danger to the south; Cross the Wei River, go east to knock on the back of Tong Pass, and go west to take Chang'an.

Pujin's role is not inferior to Tongguan, Yu Wenshi and his troops rushed to help Pujin, and it was not long before Chen Pojun robbed his wife and his son. He knew very well in his heart that Chen Jun's previous flying bridge connected to Longshang, which had caused the situation in Guanzhong to change instantaneously. If Chen Jun opens the passage between Guanzhong and Hedong, then Xu will definitely destroy the country.

Attacking what he wants must be saved, although Chen Pojun's move is bold, he has to save it. But in his heart, he also has a faint expectation. I hope that this time I can not only solve the danger of Pujin, but also defeat Chen Pojun in one fell swoop, and it is best to capture him alive.

20,000 troops set off overnight and rushed along Weishui all the way.

Tongguan along the Weishui westward, more than 30 miles away to the intersection of Weishui and Luoshui, here, the south bank of Weiwei is one of the six warehouses of the Sui Dynasty Guangfeng Cang. Cross the river here and go north, you can go straight to Feng Yi along the Luoshui.

"Report!"

A scout flew up and fell off his horse.

"Report to the king, a Chen army was found outside the city of Chaoban in Weibei, about 3,000 people, and it is storming Chaoban!"

Yuan Li hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The king, according to the general, the Chen thief wants to take Chaoban first, and then cross the Weishui to attack Guangfengcang. There is a lot of grain stored in Guangfeng warehouse, it has always been the granary of Tongguan and Jingshi, if it is burned by thieves, the loss is great. ”

At this time, the sky is slightly bright, and it will be unclear. The Yuwen scholars and the soldiers were not tired, and immediately drew their swords to the north, shouting: "Cross the river immediately and kill the thief!" ”

There is only a pontoon bridge connecting Weishui here, but Yu Wenshi and at this time could not wait, for fear that if they delay for a while, the 3,000 Chen troops in Assaka would escape. Hurriedly urged the soldiers and horses to cross the river, and the 5,000 cavalry with the army crossed the river first, followed by 10,000 infantry. 20,000 soldiers and horses surrounded a pontoon bridge, squeezed into a dense sea of people.

"Hurry up, speed up! Don't let the thief get away! ”

The wind is howling, the horses are neighing, and the people are boiling!

The 5,000 cavalry that had crossed Weishui first had already galloped north, rushing straight to Chaobancheng, thirty miles away. The remaining 10,000 foot soldiers slowly crossed the river, and by the time the 5,000 cavalry had already walked for more than half an hour, the foot soldiers were no more than half of the crowd.
