After receiving the order, Gao Yaxian led the Xia army of 3,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately set up camp and went to Boling County.
Originally, he didn't need to make such a move, Dou Jiande's 100,000 army was terrifying, but all the general generals of the enemy army were cautious at this time, and did not dare to attack, so as not to be wrapped in dumplings, but Xu Shiji counterattacked and recaptured Jiumen County and took the initiative to attack.
This made the Xia army's original strategic plan, there was a trace of accidents, the garrison of Boling County are all stragglers, in case Xu Shiji attacked Gaoyang when Dou Jiande's main force went north, then it would repeat the defeat of the Battle of Guandu.
Boling County must not have anything to do, after receiving the order, the three thousand troops are ready to go, Gao Yaxian arranged them one by one, and his adopted son Su Dingfang was also supervising on the side, and ordered the soldiers to put all the grain and grass on the grain cart.
After the two were busy, stars and moons had appeared in the sky, and Gao Yaxian received an order to die, so he had to travel to Boling County under the stars.
Su Dingfang rode a green horse, followed behind Gao Yaxian and said: "Hengshan Xu Shiji has 10,000 horses, and His Majesty only gave your father-in-law 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can you resist the enemy?" ”
Gao Yaxian rode slowly on horseback and said: "Dingfang, why be nervous, we are defending the city, not attacking, three thousand men and horses are enough, and this may be Zhang Huangmen's clever plan." ”
"Zhang Huangmen?"
Gao Yaxian said with a smile: "This time our army is huge, but it has been stationed in Gaoyang for a long time, why do you say?" ”
Su Ding dialect said: "I know a little, Li Chongjiu's cavalry is elite, and His Majesty and Zhang Huangmen are worried that once our army leaves Gaoyang and goes north to go deeper, the back road will be intercepted by Li Chongjiu, and the battle of Guandu will be repeated." ”
Gao Yaxian said happily: "That's right, it seems that the strategy of the art of war has improved a little. ”
"The father-in-law praised him, but the Son of Heaven humbly accepted the advice, and appointed the virtuous and hired people, how could it be comparable to Yuan Shao, who couldn't even use Tian Feng at the beginning."
Gao Yaxian smiled slightly, and said: "As the so-called eternal situation is not the same, today is not Guandu, Zhang Huangmen's strategy, which has a deep meaning, if I expect it well, go north to Yan County, and Zhuo County is high, Luo The two generals are just feints, and the people around them will not exceed 5,000, do you dare to gamble with me." ”
Su Dingfang said angrily: "Father-in-law, you are here again, who doesn't know that you are a fortune teller." ”
Gao Yaxian laughed and said, "Okay, you kid has also learned to be smart." ”
"But father-in-law, I don't understand, aren't Gao Luo and the two pioneers the main and deputy pioneers? Why are there only so many people around? ”
Gao Yaxian smiled and said, "You'll know later." ”
Three days later, Gao Yaxian led 3,000 men and horses to Boling County.
As soon as he arrived, he heard that Xu Shiji led the army to take the initiative to attack, and he had already attacked Hengyang County, and Chen soldiers were in Boling County.
Under the city of Gu'an.
Dozens of banners with high books and the word Luo are flying high, Luo Cheng is holding five red guns, standing under the city, looking at the city.
"Youzhou, I, Luo Cheng, are finally back." Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and said.
"General Luo," a general beside him stepped forward, "General Gao only ordered us to have three hundred light horsemen to come to Gu'an County thirty miles away to investigate the enemy's situation, but now you want us to set up a false flag under the city, which is simply contrary to General Gao's military order." ”
Luo Cheng glanced at him and asked, "Why is there only one General Gao in your eyes?" ”
"The last general doesn't dare," the other party lowered his head but said: "Your Majesty's military order is for us to be stationed in Zhuo County and put on a posture of attacking Zhuo County. ”
Luo Cheng sneered: "Idiot, do you think that if you sit still, others will not be able to see through our reality?" ”
Speaking of this, Luo Cheng pointed his finger to the county seat of Gu'an and said: "If you are weak, you will show strength, and if you are strong, you will show weakness, this is the key to the art of war, this Gu'an County was captured by Liu Heimin a few months ago, you see the city, the banner is low, the soldiers are messy, obviously the morale is low, our army can go down in one drum!" ”
The general said in a disgraced voice: "General Luo, you really want to attack the city!" We were cavalry, and there were only three hundred of them. ”
Luo Cheng snorted and said, "Who said that cavalry can't attack the city!" ”
Immediately, Luo Cheng waved his spear and said: "Send the order, divide one hundred cavalry to tie more branches to the tail of the horse, raise smoke and dust as ambush soldiers, and the remaining two hundred people will follow me to the city." ”
"No!"
Suddenly, the two hundred cavalry under the city dismounted together, and several people raised the horn hanging next to the saddle, and the sound of the horn resounded above the city.
An hour later, Gu'an County was lost.
Youzhou Thorn History Mansion.
In the more than ten days since the decisive battle between the Xia Army and the Youzhou Army, Li Chongjiu's staff group was very busy.
Even Li Chongjiu often sat in front of the huge map for several hours, and he forgot to eat. It's different from the previous decisive battles. In the battle of 20,000 or 30,000 people, Li Chongjiu generally advanced with the army and went to the front line in person, and the mountains climbed in front of him and the rivers flowing under his feet were living maps.
But in this battle, the two sides dispatched nearly 200,000 troops, Zhuojun, Hengshan, Shanggu, Bohai, Boling, and Hejian six counties were the battlefield, and this half of Hebei was encapsulated on a sheepskin map hanging all over the wall.
Under the sheepskin map, Ji Chuan walked around with red eyes, drawing back and forth on a piece of paper, analyzing the movements of the Xia army, Wen Yanbo was responsible for dispatching grain and grass and military resources, Chen Xiaoyi mobilized troops and horses from all over the country and rushed to Jixian County, the main Bo Zhao Heran drafted military orders instead of Li Chongjiu, and Xue Wanshu and Wang Qi joined the army, which was to summarize the information from all over the country, and then handed it over to Li Chongjiu for inspection, and then sent the military orders of the main Bo and Li Chongjiu to the various ministries.
In addition, there were five or six people who joined the army, as Li Chongjiu's military staff group, and Ji Chuan was on the map, pointing and analyzing the military situation together. The sixth Cao in the middle of the house joined the army, and the pawn was also delivered back and forth from each room.
In the past ten days, the officials of the Youzhou Assassin Mansion have eaten and lived in the capital, and they are not allowed to go home, and they are not even allowed to pass on any news to their families, which is to prevent leakage. All this qiē efforts were for this battle between Youzhou and the Xia army.
Heaven and earth are chessboards, and the generals are chess pieces, and the two sides are fighting in the Chu River and Han realm.
Within ten days, there was no smell of blood on the battlefield, no beacon smoke covering the eyes, and no rumbling war drums in the ears, but from the paper that transmitted the military information, it was where and where there were many casualties, how many losses were captured, and the blood of the soldiers was spilled into several lines of short words in an instant, even numbers.
There is less of the taste of Jin Ge Iron Horse, but the so-called strategizing and winning thousands of miles away is exactly like this.
Xue Wanshu reported to Li Chongjiu: "Up to now, Yongle County in Shanggu County and Gu'an County in Zhuo County have been conquered by the Xia army, and Jiumen County in Hengshan County has been conquered by General Xu Shiji after a few days, and Suicheng County in Shanggu County and Anci County in Zhuo County are being attacked by the Xia army. ”
Wang Jue continued: "In addition, in Xingtang County, Hengshan County, and Yongnu County, Zhuo County, the banner of the vanguard of the Xia Army also appeared, and the Yanmen Gaodu Lieutenant reported, Liu Wuzhou, and Song Jingang once again gathered heavy troops on the border of Loufu and Yanmen counties. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, and said, "What do you think? ”
Ji Chuan rubbed his temples with his hands, did not speak, but instead took a large sip of water from the side of the cup. Li Chongjiu looked at the few people beside Ji Chuan, these people are Li Chongjiu's staff group now, and now they are the staff group, and Ji Chuan is almost the chief of staff.
You look at me, I look at you, these people, you can't speak. A very young staff member on the side said: "Qiqi Shanggu Gong, in my opinion, now Hengshan, Shanggu, and Zhuojun are all attacked by Dou Jiande, with Dou Jiande's 100,000 army, it is impossible to be so powerful, and attack the three roads at the same time, virtual and real, among the three roads, there must be one or two roads, which are suspicious soldiers." ”
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said: "You are very right, well, you are Zhao Xin, a scholar who was just admitted this year, I remember you, the top of the list!" ”
When Zhao Xin heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "I didn't want to go to Gu Gong, I still remember the students." ”
Li Chongjiu smiled, looked at Zhao He Ran and said: "Zhao Zhubo, Ling Lang is such a talent, how can he still need to be admitted to the county examination, with the current status of the Zhao family, you can gather talents and recommend them directly to me." ”
Zhao Heran saw that Li Chongjiu appreciated his son, and said with a smile on his face: "Shanggu Gong has a good reputation, young man, you can't let him get his ambition too early, so as not to lose his enterprising spirit, and let him take the road of the county test properly, and also let him know that the family background is untenable." ”
Zhao Xin arched his hand and said: "My father told me since I was a child, a good son does not envy Ye Niangtian, and if a husband wants to be successful, he needs to make his own way." ”
Li Chongjiu's eyes narrowed, this Zhao Heran and Zhao Xin are both very good at talking, tactful, and they are really the children of the eunuchs who have been in the officialdom for a long time. Compared with Zhou Zhou, who is on the same list as Zhao Xin, his talent is not inferior to the other party, and his character is also good. But the current situation is very different, one person is reused for his own moment, and the other is a small official in the border county.
Having said that, Li Chongjiu is the same as Zhou Xu, and he appreciates Zhou Zhou a little more in his heart, as if he sees himself when he was still a student, like a blank sheet of paper, but when it comes to employing people, he still prefers to use Zhao Xin.
Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "I heard that my father is a loyal minister, my son must be a loyal minister, Zhao Zhubo is my right-hand man at the moment, and Ling Lang's achievements will never be inferior to you in the future." ”
Hearing Li Chongjiu's intention to reuse Zhao Xin, the father and son of the Zhao family couldn't help but be overjoyed.
At present, the Zhao family is second only to the Lu family in Youzhou, and even Li Chongjiu needs to personally win over from time to time, as the so-called sedan chair carries people, especially at the moment of the war with Dou Jiande, there must not be a little chaos in Youzhou.
Li Chongjiu pulled the topic back and said, "Ji Cheng, what do you think?" ”
Ji Chuan opened his red eyes, glanced at Zhao Xin, and said: "It's not a judgment right now to judge where Dou Jiande's main force is, Luo Cheng is now aggressive, approaching Youzhou, and it's time for us to have to respond." (To be continued.) )
