Chapter 814: Caught off guard
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The grassland in July is full of green grass.
However, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass low, but there are no cattle and sheep.
Zhu Biao led his troops out of the fortress again in the middle of summer, and went as far as 3,000 miles, but he couldn't see a single Hu person, let alone a tribe.
"God, even Yanran Mountain has given up, Wuji is really willing to come!"
"Dashuai, do we want to continue north?"
"The bearded dog with his fist raised, although it is far less powerful than the original, is not something that our 100,000 cavalry can handle. Dragon City or ...... It's better to be cautious! β
The generals of the army gathered in front of Zhu Biao discussed word by word. A dozen or twenty people spoke, but they were orderly and did not see a little confusion. This is in the army, in front of Zhu Biao's account.
"Zhu Dudu......" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Wu.
"Zhu Shuai, looking at Wuji's posture, it is very likely that the entire strength of the Hu clan has been gathered, so Dragon City cannot be underestimated." Zhu Wu was clearly in favor of the withdrawal.
Zhu Biao nodded in understanding. Since Wuji can give up the entire right wing, he can naturally put away his left wing, and Wuda's strength is still very strong. Joining forces with Wuji, the current Dragon City may really be entrenched by evil dragons. Only the 100,000 horsemen from the east of the river rode north...... Zhu Biao also gave up in his heart.
"It's been a waste of preparation and so much food, straw and material resources."
The whip swept across the meadow, leaving a completely annihilated powder on the green carpet of grass.
However, even though the army was already preparing to turn around and leave, since they had arrived at Yanran Mountain, Zhu Biao would not leave immediately. At the very least, he needs to stay here for a few days to declare the 'sovereignty' of the Han army.
And at this moment, the Northern Han Dynasty has completely turned the sky upside down.
Zhao State, the Northern Han Dynasty Anti-Hu Battlefield is the most staunch ally in history, a five-hundred-year-old ally, and once again let the Northern Han Dynasty taste the feeling of betrayal.
Zhao Wang, Zhao Dan, Zhao Guo, completely fell to the imperial capital Tianjing.
When this news spread from Zhao to the Northern Han Dynasty, the entire city of Beiping was shaken, and countless people could not let out a terrified roar on their own.
There is no danger to defend the inside of Yanzhou, and tens of thousands of troops have already joined forces with the 200,000 troops of Luozhou to kill Benbaiping Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain, but the army of Zhao State has already gathered.
An Guogong Zhao Sheng? Ji Yun was one of his father's good friends back then, and Zhao Dan's brother.
But don't count on him just yet. Not to mention how much the strength and status of Zhao State will improve after the Northern Han Dynasty is destroyed, even if the person who is now the king of Han is Ji Yun's father, it is impossible for Zhao Sheng to betray his family and country.
Besides, this incident that happened in the Northern Han Dynasty is today, is there anything to hide?
No.
The secrets of a qiΔ are so thorough in the eyes of a discerning person. So, friendship is also counting on it.
Today's Da Zhao Anguo is in charge of the soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that he is dreaming of revenge and the Spring and Autumn Period. If Zhao can destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhongshan will definitely not continue to exist, then Zhao will not be able to completely swallow the territory of the Northern Han and Zhongshan, and at least double its territory. As the younger brother of King Zhao, it is not impossible for the Zhao royal family to succeed the governor of the capital after Zhao Lian, and it is not impossible to open up the territory and bring a crown to play.
"What are the plans of Sangkook and Taiwei?" Yun Han asked.
Cai Tingshen shook his head, and said with a worried face: "Yunhou, if I have a way, do I still need to ask you?" To tell you the truth, I have already made an appointment with a few close friends of the DPRK and China to discuss countermeasures here. Coming soon. β
"Tomorrow's court meeting, no matter what, we have to come up with a charter."
Yun Han naturally understood the meaning of Cai Tingshen's words, with the current shape of the Northern Han Dynasty, a big 'return of soldiers' is inevitable, but how much of a situation can be saved by returning to the army, and whether to 'return' to the soldiers in Hedong or not, is an unknown and a big problem. I didn't mind, so I nodded in agreement.
Cai Tingshen glanced at him, "I believe that Yunhou can understand the old man's difficulties." β
The two sat down and talked for a while, then they heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Yun Han stood up with interest and retreated to the inner hall.
The unknowns are not easy to solve, and Hedong is even more difficult to solve.
As long as Ji Yun is still in power, as long as the Yun family is still in power, Zhu Biao and the court will not be able to return to the original seamless situation, so that today's negotiations will inevitably involve Zhu Biao, and Yun Han will also need to avoid it.
One person came in, wearing a collar of flower robes and a turtle back belt, although he was not tall but extremely strong, and he was not angry and arrogant. A pair of eyes scanned around the study and bowed to Cai Tingshen.
Then another one came to the study. is also an acquaintance of Yun Han, a heavy general in the Northern Han Forbidden Army, in his fifties, burly and straight, full of long beard, and very personable. After saluting Cai Ting, he nodded and greeted the officials who came first.
"The situation is unpredictable, the country is difficult, the two governors are the pillars of the country and the pillars of the army, what do you think?"
"What is unexpected or unexpected, since I got on the ship of the Tang King, all the qiΔ has been tied to the victory or defeat of the Tang King. Now that the Tang King is facing the battlefield unfavorably, and the city is constantly losing land, Zhao Dan is no longer neutral and jumps out...... It is also in the truth. β
The strength of the Hu people declined suddenly, and Zhu Biao successively inflicted huge casualties and injuries on his right part, right valley libu department, and Shan Yu Wang Court, relieving Zhao Guo of the heaviest and only burden on his body.
The official who came in first picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, and replied without thinking: "That's the reason, we are completely irretrievable here." β
"It's settled. And we must use thunder means to lay down this rafter in the shortest possible time, otherwise King Tang's trouble will be even greater. β
Because behind the Tang Dynasty, there are also Yan and Weiguo, the avalanche effect, or the domino effect, which can be interpreted here.
As soon as he said this, the veteran on the other side nodded in complete agreement. And pulled away the most important topic of this negotiation - Hedong.
"Zhu Shuai must be transferred back. If you want to show thunderous means, who else is more appropriate than Zhu Shuai of the Hedong Army? I'm not saying that Yun Zheng is bad, he is absolutely excellent compared to others, but Zhu Biao is a demon, and I have only produced such a demon in the Northern Han Dynasty for five hundred years. β
In the seventh month of the third year of Yuanwu, Yanping County, as the supreme power center in Yanzhou, the Thorn Mansion was already shrouded in an atmosphere of surrender and escape.
As a peaceful place in the Northern Han Dynasty for more than ten years, the position of Yanzhou Thorn History has a heavy weight in the court.
In addition to the difficulties of Qingxian County and the crisis of Yandong, the imperial court used Yang Guangchun, a generation of brave and knowledgeable eunuchs, at other times, the history of Yanzhou Thorns was used to gild and raise people.
The current Yanzhou Assassin is a coward who doesn't even have courage, let alone his responsibility to defend the land. Most of the subordinate officials in the Assassin's Mansion, including Yanping Taishou, were all trying their best to prevent the Assassin from 'hanging the seal and leaving' and fleeing to the royal capital, but the Assassin was not willing to stay in Yanzhou, a place that was about to become a battlefield.
The assassin can't go, trembles, and can't be controlled at all.
One, two, three...... Time passes slowly.
In the second half of July, the last straw that crushed the thorny history of the fat head and big ears finally appeared. 500,000 Zhao troops officially invaded the Northern Han Dynasty, and the troops were divided into two routes, sweeping Yanzhou and Linzhou. Among them, the Northern Route Army, which attacked Yanzhou, had already swallowed seven counties in one day.
When he heard the news, he was so shocked that he didn't even want the last face, and he was ready to flee east. But even at this juncture, he did not forget to maintain his image of "responsible", and clearly marked in the resignation document, "This is not a left and right Jianming, it is all out of the intention of the criminal minister."
That is to say, it was not the officials who forced me, but I myself felt that I was incompetent, and I got the situation to this point, and I felt guilty and handed over power to Zhizhong.
Yanzhou's governance took over the burden of the assassin's history, and it can be said that there is no burden at all. Because before that, most of the affairs and government affairs of the Assassin Mansion were completed by the head of the Zhizhong Mansion. However, what a blow the escape of the assassin can do to the resistance morale of the entire Yanzhou army and civilians. And one problem can never be solved -
The main forces of the Han army in Yanxi and Yandong all went north, so what can be used to resist the Zhao army?
The three-mile company camp, with military tents all over the place, should have been a place where crowds of people were surging, swords and swords, but at this time it was as silent as death. The 20,000 defenders 'fled when they heard the wind', leaving behind the empty camp, adding a bit of gloom and loneliness in the cold wind.
Near the river of this big camp, thousands of soldiers of the 'Jingsui Battalion' of the Zhao State have begun to bury pots and make rice, piling up bonfires and burning, reflecting the strangeness of the empty camp behind them.
And in the county town more than 20 miles away from this camp, in the brightly lit county guard's mansion, Uncle Xie, who was in armor, sat high on it, his lips were chapped, his face was gray, and he was a little tired, but his eyes were still like torches in those bloodshot eyes. Sun Zhengtao and Wei Bin were left and right. Below, more than a dozen middle-class and upper-ranking officers in the army who were heavily armed sat in turn. Repelling the attack of the Zhao army during the day greatly boosted the morale of the army, and the 7,000 soldiers are now united with the same hatred and hatred.
Of course, 7,000 people could not resist the Zhao army, which was ten times as large as outside the city. The former is dominated by county soldiers and township warriors, but the latter is the absolute elite of the Zhao army. The gap between the two sides is not only in quantity, but also in quality.
But when will the reinforcements that everyone is looking forward to arrive?
The high atmosphere in the hall has diminished. At this time, the soldiers outside suddenly came to report that the Zhao army under the city had sent a messenger to the front of the city.
Xie Shuyan asked how many people came, and learned that there were only three or five, and he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions for a while, so he immediately led the officers to the city. When I climbed to the top of the city and looked down, I saw four or five soldiers holding a shield with open fire to protect one person, looking towards the top of the city.
It is estimated that someone is coming above the city, and a soldier below protests and shouts: "The Han army guard will come out to answer!" β
Xie Shuyan didn't pay attention to it, he was representing the Northern Han Dynasty at the moment, how could he be cheered by a pawn on the other side? Not to mention that he was brilliant back then.
The people below shouted several times without a response, and another person shouted like Hong Zhong: "I am Guo Ming, the former general of Zongyang County, and the city guard can come out to answer!" β
As soon as he heard that it was Guo Ming, Xie Shuyan's eyes spewed fire, this bastard was so bad that he took him as a friend when he was transferred to Yanxi. had already guessed the other party's intentions, and when he was about to speak, Wei Bin beside him had already rushed ahead and scolded bitterly: "Guo Ming, you incorruptible and shameless villain!" Receiving Wang Grace, he didn't think about reciprocating, but threw himself into Zhao Thief! The people of the Han family hate to sleep on your skin and eat your flesh! Dare to come here to be embarrassed, shameless-"
Guo Ming listened below, and he was not angry, but asked loudly: "Are you the general of Pingdu?" But I remember that Pingdu County will be Xie Shuyan Xie Lieutenant, and the child will be named! β
Wei Bin didn't care, sneered, and scolded Shui Zhi loudly. Guo Ming was patient, and after listening to his scolding, he shouted upward: "I am here on the order of the governor of Zhao Jun, and I have a word to ask you to listen quietly." β
Sun Zhengtao couldn't help but want to scold at this time, Guo Ming's face didn't change, his face was too thick. Uncle Xie blocked him and chuckled, "Watch the trick and listen to what he has to say." β
"Ji Yun is ruthless and fatherless, and the Yun family is ungentleman and unrighteous. The matter of the first prince, who in the world can't see the cat? That is obviously what Beijing Tang did to rebel, Ji Yun suddenly overturned, and his attitude changed drastically, which is a great proof.
How vile and disobedient is this? What is it not to be the Son of Man?
coveted the throne and neglected his biological father, and the Han family was also evil for five hundred years. Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice, this betrayal can be the lord of my Han?
General Xie, think about what happened to you over the years? Look at Hedong Zhu Shuai, for the country to work hard, the pillar stone is fixed, but he has been repeatedly tabooed by the traitorous king, does not send a soldier, does not allocate a grain or money, and ignores the safety of millions of people in Hedong, only seeking to remove the backbone of the country, Ji Yun and cloud thieves, which are the real shameless.
Why did General Xie die of such a filthy person?
Now the situation of the Tang Dynasty is as dangerous as an egg, the imperial army is about to enter Youzhou, sweep the northern frontier, and Ji Yun's traitorous king will not last long. The Zhao army was ordered by the Heavenly Empire to crusade against Wudao, and the troops marched for 500 miles in a few days, which was unstoppable. General Xie is loyal to the state and sticks to Pingdu, which Guo Ming admires.
Guo Ming has always admired General Xie.
However, the general trend of the world cannot be stopped by manpower, and if the general vainly tries to shake Mount Tai with the power of ants, it is really self-defeating! The governor of Zhao Jun was very appreciative of the general's adherence to the city, and Guo Ming had repeatedly instructed him before coming that if the general recognized the form and returned to his command, he would not be blamed in the past, and he would still use it more heavily!
What does the general think? β
But Guo Ming persuaded him, but the city did not react at all, and the general who had answered before was also silent, so he shouted: "General Xie, Guo Mingnian has tried hard to persuade the general for the sake of the general's prestige in the past." If you don't listen to the advice and insist on resisting, the day the army breaks through the city will be the time for you to be beheaded! Thinking that he was defending the city, Zhao Jun couldn't help you? To tell you the truth, at most 200,000 troops will arrive the day after tomorrow......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the city changed color! If Zhao's army really has another 200,000 troops in two days, the entire Yanzhou, and even Anzhou, will be in danger.
Xie Shuyan's face did not change, for the current Pingdu, is there a difference between the seventy or eighty thousand Zhao army and the twenty-seven or eighty thousand Zhao army?
Seeing that all the generals on the left and right changed color, the soldiers' faces also turned pale. Guo Ming under the city still took the trouble to persuade him, and Xie Shuyan said to the general beside him: "Give him a heads-up." The latter sneered, took the bow and arrow from the bow pot, tore a yellow birch bow round, and shot it on the ground in front of the feet of several soldiers, and the arrow was more than half an arrow into the ground!
Although he had a shield to protect himself and was not afraid of arrows, Guo Ming couldn't help but be taken aback, and when he was about to speak, he heard a voice from the city.
"Guo Ming! You villain, I should have shot you with an arrow, and if the two armies didn't fight, I would spare your dog's life. Go back early, tell sΓΉ Zhao Gou, as long as my Uncle Xie Yan doesn't die, he doesn't want to take a step in Pingdu!
The soldiers of our department are all good men with iron bones! Never surrender on your knees! Don't wag your tail and beg for mercy! Xie Shuyan was full of energy, and his voice spread in all directions. The soldiers at the head of the city were inspired by it, and the frustrated morale was revived, and they raised their arms and shouted!
Xie Shuyan stopped talking nonsense with Guo Ming, looked around and smiled: "Let's go, you are all tired for a day, and you haven't eaten a bite of hot rice." Let's go back to the temple of the five internal organs, and if he wants to say, let him talk about it here. The officers on the left and right laughed and walked down the city with him.
Guo Ming's face was really unwanted, and after the Han soldiers at the head of the city cheered, he persuaded him to surrender again. But after talking about the second formation in a row, seeing that there was no response in the city, he asked a few times, and suddenly heard a person in the city shouting: "Get out!" Traitors, don't make noise here! β
"Who are you?" The voice was not Xie Shuyan's, Guo Ming was stunned, and then asked.
"Your grandfather is a soldier of Pingdu County!" The people at the head of the city replied loudly.
Guo Ming was so angry that he almost vomited blood! Marquis? What kind of thing is this! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of yourself! He used to be a lieutenant of a county, and his position was far away in the military marquis. All of a sudden, an incomparable suffocation and anger really rose in my heart.
Shame on oneself, humiliation!
- Guo Ming realized that he really wanted to.
After thinking about it, I was shocked, angry, angry, and sad, and my heart was full of mixed feelings, and a thousand thoughts came to my heart. couldn't help but open his mouth to scold, but before he could scold, he only heard a loud shout from the head of the city, and immediately the arrows were like locusts! Several relatives hurriedly escorted him to retreat, Guo Ming was angry and angry, and howled hysterically as he retreated: "You dare to do this!" β
fled back to the Zhao army camp at the moment, and did not dare to hide anything, so he reported the matter to 1510. Yang Guangsheng, the governor of the Zhao army, was also so angry that he was angry, and on the second day, he would send an elite to attack the city, and the generals under his command would admonish him bitterly, and he would wait until the siege equipment arrived, and then make plans, but where was Yang Guangsheng willing to listen? Only six or seven thousand people, am I still afraid of him? So he insisted on attacking!
Xie Shuyan in Pingdu City did not give an inch, relying on the reinforced obstacles, he attacked with sharp arrows and firearms! Even though the Zhao army was outnumbered, but before the Han army in the city was exhausted, there was no complete siege equipment in hand, and there was no way to do it, and after more than 1,000 casualties, the wolf retreated.
Yang Guangsheng was a little annoyed and angry, and attacked three times in a row the next morning! But there is no point in anything other than continuing to increase casualties.
At dusk in the afternoon of that day, the boundless Zhao Junkai came through.
The vast army was overwhelming, and the yellow dust that rose obscured the setting sun in the west. The entire Pingdu City trembled at the footsteps of Zhao Jun. At this time, on the prairie, Zhu Biao received an urgent military report from the rear - (to be continued)
