Chapter XXVII: Revolting Against Fate Part I
readx;?? After looking at the news of the reinforcement commander transferred from Liaoxi County, a county military lieutenant named Dongguo Xun, Zhang Jiashi was very silent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info.v.om
Because according to Dongguo Xun's words, Zhang Jiashi knew that among the six border counties east of Dai County, only Liaodong County, where he was located, was attacked by a large-scale Donghu people.
Faced with such a fact, Zhang Jiashi almost kicked over the table, and then ran out of the camp and scolded the sky: "I'll go to your Donghu people, aren't you specifically looking for trouble with me? As for treating me like this?"
Bai Qi, who knew Zhang Jiashi's heart, thought about a question.
Of course, what he is thinking does not mean that Zhang Jiashi knows. But Bai Qi didn't plan to pit Zhang Jiashi, because Bai Qi knew very well that if Zhang Jiashi was unlucky, his fate would not be much better.
Bai Qi really wanted Zhang Jiashi to send scouts to investigate the situation in the north, but now was not a good time to go out to find out about the situation, and he himself knew very well that Zhang Jiashi, Han Xin and the others knew what to do. As for why he didn't do it, it was mainly because of the difficulty of doing so, and when it was almost midnight, he rashly sent out scouts, maybe it was a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no return.
So Bai Qi thought about his own problems very calmly.
In fact, Bai Qi also felt that Zhang Jiashi was depressed and puzzled at the same time, because in the daytime battle, as long as the Donghu people attacked the gap that had been torn open, maybe Zhang Jiashi could only send the little troops at hand to chase and intercept the Donghu people.
But the Donghu people did not do this, but simply did not know about the situation.
said that the Donghu people planned to let Zhang Jiashi go......
Don't talk about such an idea, I'm afraid Zhang Jiashi himself will not believe this kind of talk that is undoubtedly a wild night.
The Donghu people gave up this God-given opportunity, and they must have encountered some problems.
What is this problem? Bai Qi didn't know, and Zhang Jiashi couldn't know it now, of course, in a few days at the latest, everything that should be known should always be known.
Of course, Bai Qi couldn't have imagined that the strategists who could tell the famous words of the ages in a certain Zhang Jiashi would use them secretly to fight something that he couldn't do before.
What famous words did Li Zuoche say?
A fool will have a thousand thoughts, and a wise man will have a mistake.
The source of this famous saying, not surprisingly, is what Li Zuoche said.
The person who can say this sentence can be among the top strategists in itself, and furthermore, Li Zuoche himself is more inclined to be an all-round talent similar to Chen Ping, if it weren't for Li Zuoche's fame and official position is not too high, I'm afraid that Li Zuoche's weight in the history books can be listed separately.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
Early the next morning, Zhang Jiashi once again ascended the simple gate tower, and he released a grass dragonfly to reconnoiter north, and found that the Donghu camp in the north had been burned into a vast ruin, and only a large number of crows were circling.
Crows are scavengers, and once a flock of crows gathers together, then a lot of people are bound to die in this place.
Zhang Jiashi saw thousands of charred corpses in the camp that were slowly bleeding from the grass dragonfly.
The rest of the Donghu people have long since disappeared.
Zhang Jiashi withdrew the spell, because the Donghu camp was almost the farthest distance he could control the grass dragonfly.
Zhang Jiashi, who was silent for a while, said to Su Teng behind him: "Su two or five hundred masters, you send fifty scouts, with ten people as a team, to explore the north for thirty miles. ”
"Wow!" Su Teng clenched his fists and led the order.
Zhang Jiashi, on the other hand, silently looked back at the almost blackened grassland in the north again, and fell into deep thought.
……
And several scout teams of ten, led by their respective officers, quickly explored a long distance.
However, except for a group of scouts near a river beach in the east of the north, they saw a large number of Donghu people and war horse corpses on the other side of the river to the north.
And in the water of this river, there are also various corpses that are soaked and swollen from time to time.
"Are they swimming across the river? and then they are attacked again?"
Looking at the captain of this scout team and the situation reported to him, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but be silent.
He didn't understand who did such a thing.
Because he and the troops of Liaoxi County are unlikely to be able to easily defeat the Donghu people who fled north like dogs in the wilderness.
It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army in Liaoxi County is not good, but the Donghu people who died in that place had at least forty or fifty thousand people, and this was obviously a field battle of more than 100,000 people to be able to achieve such casualties.
The strength of Liaoxi County is much smaller than him on the whole, and the reinforcements of 6,000 people have been transferred, which obviously means that this matter was not done by the troops of Liaoxi County. Even if it was done by the soldiers of Liaoxi County, it was impossible for the other party to make another big bend, cross the Liao River again, and return to the territory from the Great Wall of Liaoxi County.
As for the soldiers of Liaodong County to which Zhang Jiashi now belongs?
Zhang Jiashi knew very well that his main force was almost concentrated on the front line of the Great Wall, and if he could have extra troops to fight, he would have already fought with the Donghu people outside the Great Wall, opened a frame and then fought directly.
The wall of more than six meters high is probably better than nothing.
Obviously, such a thing is not something that any Qin army on their side can do.
Did it be made by Minoko Korea?
Zhang Jiashi then shook his head and denied the idea.
Although it is said that the level of civilization of Jizi Joseon is generally higher than that of the Donghu people. However, the combat ability of the Donghu people is not comparable to one of these later ancestors of the sticks.
At the very least, Jizi Korea faced a large number of Donghu cavalry, and since it couldn't beat it, it couldn't run away at the same time.
In other words, it's basically the same as sending people to death.
Moreover, Zhang Jiashi also couldn't imagine when Jizi Korea would be able to gather so many troops?
Since it can't be Mingo Joseon, could it be the legendary Su Shen?
Zhang Jiashi also shook his head, because in his heart, if Su Shen had such strength, I am afraid that the Donghu people in the north of the Songnen Plain would have been driven down by the Su Shen people a long time ago, instead of Su Shen until now, he could only rely on the terrain of the mountains and forests to play guerrilla warfare with the Donghu people.
"Then who is it?" Zhang Jiashi had to ponder.
Great Qin was powerless, either the number of troops was too small, or he was tied to death inside and outside the Great Wall, unable to mobilize on a large scale.
And Jizi Joseon and Su Shen are even more straightforward, they can't beat the Donghu people at all.
In that place, that is, these three forces can step in.
But the problem also arises, it is impossible for the three forces to bring so many kills to the Donghu people in such a short period of time. This is not a defensive battle, but a field battle.
Zhang Jiashi, who couldn't figure it out, looked at Han Xin on the side: "Han two or five hundred lords, according to your thoughts, the Donghu people were killed and injured a lot in the north of the river, what is the matter?"
Of course, Han Xin also thought of several possibilities, but he himself thought that these possibilities were quite unlikely.
So after being silent for a while, Han Xin said his other thoughts: "Everyone, according to Xin's guess, the Donghu people may have encountered civil strife. It is very likely that those Donghu people died in the attack of their own people. ”
Han Xin's words made many of the Qin military captains and officers who gathered in Zhang Jiashi's tent nod slightly, because as Han Xin said, the Donghu people were more likely to die in their own people's butcher's knives.
But there is also the question of why civil strife began in the steppe, some distance from the river.
It stands to reason that once there are really Donghu people with bad intentions, then it is easier to attack other Donghu people who have not come ashore on the river bank and on the river beach.
The so-called half-crossing attack is such a situation.
Han Xin couldn't figure this out, because as the person who raised this question said, it was also unreasonable for the Donghu people to do this.
Of course, no one present knew that Han Xin's guess was correct. However, they guessed the murderer wrongly, that is, Su Ge, who has now succeeded to the throne as the king of Donghu through some means, has exploded his ambition under the instigation of Li Zuoche.
Zhang Jiashi, who was puzzled, and the captains and officers in the camp tent could only continue to stand by here.
After all, until it is certain whether the Donghu people have really retreated in an all-round way, they can only be ready to deal with the next offensive of the Donghu people at any time.
If Zhang Jiashi knew that he was just wasting time here, he might as well go back to Dingxiang City directly and have a good time with his wife and concubine.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
A few days later, Li Zuoche found a way to get out of Suger's side, and on a small hillside of a grassland, looking at the abandoned grassland that was still charred and blackened, he looked silently at the charred and mutilated corpses that had been eaten by many animals.
In his heart, Zhang Jiashi did this, which was really unexpected to him.
But he wasn't disgusted.
Because that's a war. The war itself is just a pursuit of victory and defeat, some are just results, and some are just who can survive a war, it's as simple as that.
Of course, a fire attack will make many so-called defenders criticize and write, but using other weapons to kill people in a dignified manner is not putting people to death?
The so-called ominous fire attack is actually just the statement of some people who hide their ears and steal the bell.
He felt that he was becoming more and more curious about Zhang Jiashi. However, for Zhang Jiashi, will he meet him, an unknown little person?
Li Zuoche didn't have a letter of approval, but even if Zhang Jiashi wouldn't see him, he wouldn't have anything to lose.
Thinking of this, Li Zuoche turned his horse's head and quickly ran towards the mountains and forests to the east.
……
Zhang Jiashi lived in this barracks for almost a week. After he sent several groups of scouts to explore the north, he finally found no trace of the Donghu people.
Zhang Jiashi, who was not sure of the movements of the Donghu people, could not easily transfer the troops stationed on the Great Wall on a large scale again. Once the Donghu people go and return, then he will have a lot of fun.
Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to dealing with military affairs, Zhang Jiashi can only use cultivation to pass the time.
The fierce battle of that day, the casualties of his troops and the corresponding personnel, have been counted.
In the area attacked, there were nearly 15,000 garrisons and more than 20,000 people.
However, in the past few days, Zhang Jiashi saw that there were more than 2,600 officers and men killed, more than 5,300 wounded, and more than 3,500 people who had directly lost their combat effectiveness.
Just looking at the casualty figures, Zhang Jiashi came up with a figure, that is, basically except for the reserve troops, almost all the garrison troops arranged on the Great Wall were at least slightly wounded.
And there are many casualties among the people, and among the five people arranged on the Great Wall, it would be good if three of them survived.
It can be said that the Donghu people's attack on such a day has greatly damaged the vitality of Zhang Jiashi's troops.
Counting the casualties of more than 2,000 cavalry troops and reinforcements that were almost completely wiped out in the previous battles, Zhang Jiashi's overall calculation of casualties in this battle against the Donghu people reached 30,000.
And this number is still Zhang Jiashi did not count some data of multiple injuries.
It can be said that Zhang Jiashi has greatly injured the vitality of the Donghu people this time, but why is he not like this?
This battle against Donghu can be said to be a lose-lose situation for the time being.
Although the casualties of the Donghu people were more heavi, he, the general Zuo, who was also so depressed that he vomited blood, was thinking about how to effectively replenish his strength.
If Zhang Jiashi knew that the Donghu people were at least halved this time, I don't know what his expression would look like?
It's just that the heavens seem to see Zhang Jiashi staying in this place for a few days, which is a little unpleasant.
Father-in-law Xi, who hadn't seen him for about a month, appeared in front of him again.
……
Facing this guest who made Zhang Jiashi feel very surprised, Zhang Jiashi looked at Father-in-law Xi in surprise: "Father-in-law Xi came this time, is it His Majesty's will?"
"Na, General Zuo has made a great contribution comparable to that of a general this time, and when His Majesty was on his eastern tour, he received the news, Long Yan Dayue. Therefore, His Majesty ordered Xi to pass the order and let General Zuo go to His Majesty's team to meet the Holy Driver. ”
Xi Gonggong's words made Zhang Jiashi completely unclear.
Because according to Zhang Jiashi's understanding of the words spoken by Zhang Jiashi to Xi Gonggong, the Donghu people seem to have suffered a lot of vitality.
But he had no idea of such a situation.
He looked at Father-in-law Xi with uncertainty, and asked, "Father-in-law Xi said that Zhang has made a great contribution, what do you mean by this?"
"General Zuo shouldn't know, this time the Donghu people and even the king of Donghu are missing because of civil strife, if it weren't for General Zuo's strategy, how could the Donghu people suffer such a disaster?" The smile in the eyes of Gonggong Xi was not concealed at all.
But after swallowing a mouthful of water, Zhang Jiashi said: "Father-in-law Xi, you just said that the original king of Donghu is missing because of civil strife?"
"Yes, this news is still the major news that His Majesty himself arranged in Donghu. Father-in-law Xi looked at Zhang Jiashi and complimented Zhang Jiashi: "Your Majesty's promotion of General Zuo this time can be said to be unique, and next, maybe General Zuo can go further." When the time comes, General Zuo should not forget to rejoice this humble person. ”
Zhang Jiashi nodded, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but then he thought of a situation, that is, did Ying Zheng want to call him alone this time, or let Ying Xi and Ying Lian go back together?
If it was the former, Zhang Jiashi didn't feel anything yet. But if it is the latter, Zhang Jiashi, who knows that Yingzheng will not be alive for a few days, will certainly not let the two beloved wives take risks. Now that he knows what is going on, he puts his two beloved wives in danger, and he will not do such a thing.
"What are you kidding, if I don't take precautions here, I'll really get my brain caught in the door. Zhang Jiashi muttered this sentence in his heart.
"Aren't you afraid that they will hate you?" Bai Qi's voice was mixed with a hint of banter.
After Zhang Jiashi was silent for a while, he said a sentence in his heart: "I'm afraid, but in order to prevent me from regretting it for the rest of my life, I would rather they hate me." ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiashi took a deep look at Gonggong Xi: "I don't know, did Your Majesty let Zhang go alone this time, or did he ......?"
Father-in-law Xi really didn't think of such a question, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think about whether Yingzheng had any other detailed instructions.
He said a word of relief to Zhang Jiashi with uncertainty: "General Zuo, Your Majesty should just look at you." ”
"Has Father-in-law Xi been to Zhang's mansion in Dingxiang this time?" Zhang Jiashi said his other concern.
"Hmm? No, Xi is directly in the county guard mansion this time, knowing that General Zuo is still in this barracks. Father-in-law Xi looked at Zhang Jiashi a little puzzled, he didn't quite understand why Zhang Jiashi asked him this question.
Looking at the suspicious eyes of his father-in-law, Zhang Jiashi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then called two guards to come in, and said loudly: "Come on, pass the order, and set up a banquet in the army tonight! Except for the people on duty, others can get a reward!"
"Whoa!" the two guards took the order and left.
And Father-in-law Xi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was directly blocked by Zhang Jiashi with a sentence:
"Since he has defeated the Donghu people, Zhang is really dispassionate if he doesn't do this, so Zhang also invited his father-in-law to join this banquet and have fun with the warriors in the army. ”
Father-in-law Xi looked at Zhang Jiashi, who was smiling slightly, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, and finally had to nod with a bitter face and agree to Zhang Jiashi's invitation.
……
That night, at the suggestion of Zhang Jiashi, Uncle Sun Ji, the wine jar, directly drunk his father-in-law.
And Zhang Jiashi hit his head on the low table and fell asleep, Zhang Jiashi asked his father-in-law and his entourage to arrange a camp.
Subsequently, several knights quickly marched towards Dingxiang City and rode away overnight.
After the banquet, Zhang Jiashi ordered the officers who were close to the generals to gather to his tent again.
And after Han Xin and the others entered the camp, they actually saw Chen Ping and Xiao He appearing in front of them.
Many people realize that Zhang Jiashi's arrangement is definitely meaningful.
