Chapter 562: The First Battle of Gao Yu
Gao Yu was appointed by Zhao Ji, worshiped as the envoy of Jingdong Xuanfu, and selected and transferred military horses from all over the world, and exterminated the Liangshan thieves on the same day, Zhao Ji promised a lot of soldiers and horses, but Gao Yu still felt that it was not safe, so he changed the order privately and asked for some more people.
Originally, Zhao Ji's forbidden army was 60,000 people, and each of the seven major festival envoys led 5,000 people to help, Gao Yu directly doubled the soldiers and horses of the seven major festival envoys, and let them each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus 30,000 naval troops, a total of 160,000 soldiers and horses, which can be described as vast and powerful, and the army is like a dragon.
The seven major festival envoys were originally the ten festival degree envoys, they were people in the green forest, and then they were recruited by the imperial court, the previous Guan Sheng led the army to recruit Liangshan, Li Congji, Mei Zhan, and Zhang Kai accompanied the army, and as a result, Li Congji died in battle, Mei Zhan opened and surrendered to Liangshan, and there were only seven people left in the ten major festivals.
These seven people are: Wang Huan, the envoy of Henan and Hebei, Xu Jing of Shangdang Taiyuan, Wang Wende of Jingbei Hongnong, Yang Wen of Jiangxia Lingling, Han Cunbao of Yunzhong Yanmen, Xiang Yuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng, and Jingzhong of Qinghe Tianshui.
In addition, Gao Yu selected 30,000 elites from the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, and 20,000 elites from the imperial camp, and the former Flying Dragon General Yumei and the Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng were transferred to the account to wait for dispatch.
After more than 20 days in a row, Zhao Ji was anxious and urged the army, Gao Yu first sent the imperial camp and horses out of the city, and selected more than 30 singers and dancers to accompany the army for pastime. The solstice sacrifice flag, resignation and boarding, has been delayed for a month.
Before departure, many officials bid farewell in the long pavilion, Gao Yu dressed up, riding a golden saddle war horse, in front of five jade bridle carved saddle from the horse, on the left and right, lined up Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong two brothers, behind many palace marshals commanders, commanders of the army, soldiers and horses defense, regimental training and other officials, followed behind.
I have to say that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are elite enough, but it is a pity that they met a low-end commander like Gao Yu, and followed a mediocre and incompetent monarch like Zhao Ji.
And Gao Yu delayed for a month, has given Qin Han the opportunity to grow, from the king to Gao Yu sent troops, there is a month and a half, originally Qin Han planned to hold the door, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, due to too much penetration into the surrounding area, the opportunity was too good, when Zizhou changed the prefect, Qin Han directly led the troops to defeat Zizhou.
This is also Qin Han's previous plan, Qin Han is naturally reluctant to destroy Liao with the power of Liangshan, it is better to occupy a few more state capitals, border with Liao, and act at the right time.
In addition to Qingzhou, which is the closest and has Lu Shao and the internal response, Qin Han also chose Zizhou, Cangzhou, Binzhou three targets, originally Qin Han's first target was Cangzhou, after all, the Chai family has been operating in Cangzhou for a long time, and the relationship network is extremely dense, so it can be easily laid, but it was Zizhou that had an accident first.
Originally, the prefect of Zizhou was born as a military general, which was relatively difficult to deal with, and could only penetrate slowly, but Qin Han said that the king had just been half a month, and Zizhou had a new prefect, this prefect was born in a famous family and had extraordinary talents, but he was a thorough civil official, who didn't know much about marching and fighting, and his temperament was very soft, and he was a little greedy for life and afraid of death.
This person's name is Zhao Mingcheng, his father Zhao Tingzhi was an official to the prime minister, with this background, Zhao Mingcheng was awarded the Honglu Shaoqing from the fifth grade when he was twenty-four years old, and the future is not bright.
It's just that Zhao Mingcheng's reputation is not as good as one percent of his wife, and the only reputation left behind is that his wife scolded him for being greedy for life and afraid of death. The representative of the Wanyue faction, Li Qingzhao, the most famous female lyricist of the Song Dynasty!
The first half of Zhao Mingcheng's life in history was unremarkable, but when he was the prefect of Jiangning, his subordinate generals rebelled, and someone in the city noticed it in advance and reported Zhao Mingcheng, but Zhao Mingcheng felt that it was impossible, and did not take it to heart and did not take any action.
Unexpectedly, there was really a rebellion that night, Zhao Mingcheng heard the stirring in the city, and was immediately so frightened that he climbed up to the top of the city alone, hung a rope and abandoned the city and fled. The generals in the city, however, organized themselves and put down the small rebellion.
Li Qingzhao listened to this incident and wrote, "Life is a hero, death is also a ghost, so far I think of Xiang Yu, and refuse to cross Jiangdong." To satirize Zhao Mingcheng, Zhao Mingcheng died of depression soon after.
When others heard Zhao Mingcheng's name, they would still think that he was a capable minister, but Qin Han knew his details, Shi Xiu's spies and Qin Han's army should be in harmony, and they broke Zizhou in just one day and captured Zhao Mingcheng alive who was holding his concubine and preparing to escape.
Zhao Mingcheng is not a strong person, the steel knife is on the head, and he immediately kneels and surrenders, Qin Han thought about it, and asked him to follow He Taiping for the time being.
When Gao Yu came with his troops, Qin Han had already swallowed Zizhou completely, and was even ready to attack Tai'an Prefecture, Gao Yu heard these news, worried that Zhao Ji would be blamed when the matter reached him, so he immediately ordered the army to speed up, and finally confronted Qin Han head-on before Qin Han attacked Tai'an Prefecture.
Shangdang Taiyuan Jiedu made Xu Jing the right vanguard, Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu made Jing Zhong the deputy vanguard, Jingbei Hongnong Jiedu made Wang Wende the right one, Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu made Yang Wen the deputy one, Yunzhong Yanmen Jiedu made Han Cunbao the left outpost, Langya Pengcheng Jiedu made Xiang Yuanzhen the right outpost, the two generals of the dragon and tiger were beautiful, Bi Sheng was the wings of the Chinese army, Gao Yu was the marshal, and the commander-in-chief of the army was draped all over his body and personally supervised.
Seeing Gao Yu, Lin Chong couldn't hold back any longer, beat his horse out of battle, and shouted: "Gao Yu, you dog thief has lost all your conscience, and you deserve to die, I broke your godson and your brother before, and today I will definitely smash you together, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”
Gao Yu heard Lin Chong mention Gao Yanei and Gao Lian, the root of his teeth itched, and he shouted: "Who will take this thief with me!" If you can win, you will be promoted to three levels in a row! ”
Lin Chong has made a great reputation in recent years, but his power is charming, and Jing Zhong was the first to say in the Qinghe Tianshui Festival: "The young general is willing to go, how can he take the will." ”
Jing Zhong is the deputy vanguard, with white robes and silver armor, green horses, and a big pole knife, quite a bit of strength, Gao Yu is also at ease with him, and immediately allowed Jing Zhong to go out of battle.
Again, Lin Chong in a state of rage and Lin Chong in a normal state are two concepts, Jing Zhong's martial arts are not bad, it is more than enough to be a deputy general in Liangshan, but compared to Lin Chong, it is too much worse.
As soon as he made a move, Lin Chong turned on the power of the Celestial Star with all his might, and directly burst out with the third-order Celestial Star divine power, the Zhangba Snake Spear shook, and a grinning giant python bit into Jing Zhong's waist, the move was ruthless, as fast as lightning, and in just ten rounds, a giant python turned over and pierced Jing Zhong's heart.
