Chapter 161: Counteroffensive
Most of the Qiang generals have begun to accept Jia Rong from the heart, this young Qiang captain will lead them to the life they desire, the reason why the Qiang people used to submit to the Han is also to think of being able to live a stable life in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the life of the Han people is very beautiful in the eyes of all the Qiang people, there is a stable home and their own land, do not worry about eating and drinking.
Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Jia Rong's mood is also much better, and in the future, these Qiang soldiers will follow him like the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and the Qiang soldiers of the Xiliang Army are a very good example.
Li Wenhou dismissed the generals of various departments and killed those extreme combatants, plus these generals were usually not very satisfied with themselves, so they were naturally eradicated by Li Wenhou by taking this opportunity, Beigong Boyu was sent by Li Wenhou to collect the soldiers of the dead Qiang generals, Jia Rong was recognized by the Qiang people, and the happiest person was Li Wenhou, otherwise, whether Li Wenhou chose to follow Jia Rong or follow the Qiang people is a big problem.
There were only two people left in the big tent of the Chinese army, Jia Rong and Li Wenhou, and Jia Rong asked: "This time the Qiang army only has 20,000 horses?" ”
Li Wenhou shook his head and said: "The lord doesn't know, Han Sui is so treacherous, even if I stayed in Pingxiang, I was taken away by 10,000 horses." Perhaps because of Jia Rong's intervention, Li Wenhou had a great resistance to Han Sui.
"Now that we are returning in a hurry, what should those Qiang soldiers who followed Han Sui do?"
Li Wenhou was moved in his heart, and from Jia Rong's words, he could feel that Jia Rong was indeed putting himself in the shoes of the Qiang people, which was completely different from those officials who said one thing and did another, although Jia Rong was his lord, he could not influence Li Wenhou's thoughts.
"Don't worry, my lord, the generals who followed Han Sui this time are all my henchmen, and before leaving, I have ordered them to try their best to be stationed in the cities captured along the way, which is conducive to our future actions! At that time, the city captured by Han Sui will only be given to us for nothing. ”
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Brother Wenhou is really resourceful, he has already thought about it!" ”
The two discussed how to quickly occupy the counties that had been captured along the way, and Jia Rong got up and left.
In order to show the sincerity of the Qiang people, Li Wenhou led a group of Qiang generals to Pingxiang City.
When Jia Rong left, it was when the sun was rising, and after continuous conversations with the Qiang generals and discussions with Li Wenhou, the time was almost noon, and Li Wenhou had such a conversation, but he forgot about Huaxiong at the city gate.
Hua Xiong walked anxiously around the gate of Pingxiang City, the big knife in his hand changed in many styles, and kept asking the deputy general's opinion, compared to Hua Xiong, the deputy general was much more stable, and kept persuading Hua Xiong to wait.
Seeing Jia Rong and dozens of Qiang generals swaggering out of the Qiang camp, Hua Xiong was happy, his eyes were also flashing with excitement, so that Jia Rong's counterattack on Jincheng County that he said last night would soon be realized, looking at Jia Rong's eyes full of admiration, the soldiers who surrendered without a fight were realized here in Jia Rong, went to the enemy camp alone, persuaded the Qiang people, and got 20,000 soldiers and horses, this matter is enough for future generations, Hua Xiong even regretted that Weishenme did not go with Jia Rong, In this way, he will have capital to brag about with his subordinates in the future.
Since the failure of the competition with Jia Rong, in Hua Xiong's heart, Jia Rong's weight is even heavier than Dong Zhuo, compared to Dong Zhuo, Jia Rong has an affinity that ordinary people can't refuse, and ordinary soldiers, Jia Rong is a soldier, on the battlefield, Jia Rong is a fierce general, but such a diverse role has won the respect of most people, although Dong Zhuo is brave, he is short-tempered in peacetime, and often scolds when he disagrees, most of the soldiers are hindered by his prestige, The two types of followers can be distinguished at a glance.
After this incident, Hua Xiong felt that as long as Jia Rong had any orders, he would never hesitate, even if there was a dead end ahead, he Hua Xiong would dare to follow Jia Rong to face the difficulties.
The change of mentality made Hua Xiong more respectful in front of Jia Rong, what to bow down, everything with Jia Rong as the first without any pretentiousness, Hua Xiong's performance surprised Guo Yan.
Jia Rong and his entourage returned to Pingxiang City safely, which made the generals of the Xiliang Army in the city really happy, and it was better for the soldiers at the bottom to know less about such a confidential matter.
If there are no spies in Pingxiang City, Jia Rong will definitely not believe it, even if these spies get the news, what can they do, and now Pingxiang City is already strictly forbidden in the whole city, and no one is allowed to go out, and Jia Rong is also a time difference, before Han Sui gets the news, Jincheng County will be completely occupied.
Pingxiangcheng County became the command post of the war, and Jia Rong constantly issued a series of orders, with the identity of the Qiang people as a cover, it became easy to defraud the city.
Li Shun was left in Pingxiang City to guard the city, Pingxiang still maintained martial law, and now it was almost harvest season, Jia Rong even told Li Shun to let the soldiers help the people harvest grain.
The first to go out was Jia Rong, the guards of the warrior county saw the Qiang army come back, did not doubt him, and directly opened the city gate to greet him, this group of Qiang people who had just entered the city suddenly attacked, and occupied the warriors by surprise, the defenders in the city were subdued before they had time to resist, and the thousand Qiang soldiers in the city were also persuaded by Li Wenhou to surrender, after the warrior county was left garrison, Jia Rong led the rest of the army to think about Yuzhong to march.
There was no resistance at all along the way, and even if some of the city's guards were a little skeptical, it was difficult to be suspicious when they saw the mighty Qiang army under the city.
In this way, but more than ten days of effort, Jia Rong has already hit the Jincheng County of the governance of Yunwu, in order to ensure that the fraud of the city can get the greatest chance of victory, Jia Rong led all the cavalry, the infantry is walking slowly behind, passing through a county town, stationed some soldiers, the division of labor is very good, Han Sui left in the cities of the people and horses were also rebelled by Li Wenhou, the military strength of the Xiliang army is gradually growing.
Even if these generals defending the city were smart, they would not have thought that Li Wenhou would turn against each other at this time, let alone that those generals stationed in adjacent cities with them would help the Xiliang army to deceive.
The city of Jincheng County is not comparable to the rest of the counties, only the city wall of about five zhang is daunting, Jincheng County is close to the Qiang people, and the water source here is not very sufficient, which also leads to the fact that Jincheng County has no moat, but this five-zhang high city wall is not what the Qiang people who do not have siege weapons can deal with, and most of Han Sui's capture of Jincheng is opportunistic.
This is the most important battle since the 10-day counteroffensive, and the meaning of taking the seat of the county is that the entire Jincheng County is already in his hands.
Jia Rong put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers and mixed in the cavalry, in order to paralyze the generals defending the city, Jia Rong and his party only had more than 200 cavalry, and except for Jia Rong, the soldiers in the team were all Qiang.
Jiang Yu came to the city and muttered in a skilled Qiang language, and after the soldiers in the city responded, they disappeared.
After the tea, the defending generals came to the city wall.
Seeing this person, Li Wenhou beside Jia Rong hissed and said softly: "This person is Yan Xing, the number one general under Han Sui, who is not only strong in martial arts, but also has excellent strategies, and the Qiang people have suffered a lot in his hands. ”
Jia Rong signaled Li Wenhou not to speak again, and the success or failure depended on Jiang Yu.
Yan Xing on the city wore a red cloak, which was so conspicuous among the soldiers, and after carefully looking at the so-called Qiang generals under the city, Yan Xing frowned and asked, "Who is the general?" ”
Jiang Yu pretended not to understand Chinese, and his babbling was a Qiang language.
After the soldiers in the city explained, Jiang Yu said: "I am a subordinate of General Li Wenhou, and I have something important to tell you about this time in Jincheng, please open the city gate." ”
Yan Xing was puzzled: "Isn't the front already hitting Longguan?" What's the point of coming here? Obviously, Yan Xing knew the situation on the battlefield ahead very well.
After the soldiers finished translating the words, Jiang Yu also sorted out his thoughts and shouted loudly: "This time I came because of Jia Rong in Pingxiang City, the military situation is urgent, and the general will let us enter the city quickly." ”
Yan Xing hurriedly asked, "What happened to Jia Rong in Pingxiang City?" "Those things about Jia Rong in Pingxiang City, Yan Xing still heard about them.
Jiang Yu yelled impatiently: "Hurry up and open the city gate, Lao Tzu is running all the way and is tired to death, otherwise the military situation will be delayed, and your general will be asked to whip you after entering the city." ”
Instead of being angry because of Jiang Yu's scolding, Yan Xing chuckled and said, "Open the city gate!" ”
Jiang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled the reins of his horse and walked towards the city gate, and two hundred cavalry followed closely.
Suddenly, Yan Xing in the city roared: "Close the city gate!" ”
The slowly falling suspension bridge sped up.
Jia Rong's heart tightened suddenly, could it be that Yan Xing in the city found something, it seems that the county town is not so easy to take down, Han Sui's number one general is still somewhat capable, Jincheng, according to the development of history, will become Han Sui's old nest, and it is understandable to let Yan Xing be stationed here, it seems that Han Sui, an old thing, did not have any good intentions from the beginning.
Jiang Yu raised the horsewhip in his hand and scolded loudly: "Which bastard gave the order to shut Lao Tzu out of the door, and when Lao Tzu entered the city, he must be flayed alive." ”
Yan Xing in the city sneered and said, "Really? I am Yan Xing, the guard general in the city, and I see that you are clearly a soldier of the Han army, and the archers are ready. In an instant, hundreds of archers aimed their drawn longbows at the two hundred cavalry under the city, just waiting for Yan Xing's order.
Jiang Yu's face changed slightly, but he was instantly covered up by his scolding.
Being targeted by so many archers, Jia Rong's face was also ugly, the more he had to be calm at this time, Jia Rong whispered to Li Wenhou: "Let the soldiers collectively scold." ”
Li Wenhou understood, and immediately, in addition to Li Wenhou and Jia Rong, more than 100 Qiang cavalry kept scolding the soldiers on the city wall, which was naturally all Qiang language.
It's time to add more, let's work together, push the iron ride up, and send the red ticket collection! Thank you for the cliff!
