Chapter Eighty-Five: Snatching
Gao Cheng was competing with Chen Qingzhi outside Xiangyang City for patience.
In Jinyang City, Gao Huan once again ushered in a Kansai envoy.
"I can't imagine that He Bagong misses me He Liuhun so much."
As soon as he saw Feng Jing, the envoy of He Bayue, Gao Huan smiled and said.
With this enthusiastic appearance, no one can see that the two of them had a mortal enmity when they served under Er Zhurong's account together.
Feng Jing recounted his lovesickness on behalf of He Bayue, and explained that Yu Wentai said goodbye a while ago.
Gao Huan didn't seem to pay attention to it, only caring about asking the envoy about the current situation of He Batyue, and during the conversation, he always recalled the comradeship between the two of them who had defended themselves in Huaishuo.
Feng Jing echoed with a smile, he had already forgotten about this mission.
Before entering Jinyang, Feng Jing had already received the news that Gao Huan included Yuan Xiu's sister in the mansion, and if he went to ask for Yuan Xiu's family at this time, Gao Huan would use this as an excuse to force He Bayue to send Yuan Xiu back.
The two talked for a long time, and Gao Huan suddenly proposed to make a blood alliance with He Bayue.
He Bayue obviously understood Gao Huan's temperament and authorized Feng Jing early.
Feng Jing did not shirk either, and swore an oath on behalf of He Bayue and Gao Huan before cutting their hearts and swearing that they would be brothers.
After Er Zhuzhao, Gao Huan finally had a new incense brother, and he felt that he had a new goal in life.
The feeling of emptiness after the destruction of the Erzhu clan was swept away.
......
Yaoxiong led his troops through the city of Hanging Gu (now Runan, Henan), and to the south was Baigoudui, an important town in the north of Nanliang.
He had 2,000 cavalry, 2,000 foot soldiers, and 2,000 state and county soldiers as auxiliaries.
Among them, 1,000 Xianbei cavalry were specially transferred by Gao Cheng from Duan Shao.
Bai Goudui was close at hand, and Yaoxiong, who was riding a horse, looked grim.
The reason why it is not a rapid march to attack Baigoudui is that on the one hand, it is a man and a horse, and it does not have the basis for running.
On the other hand, the most important thing in this battle is to threaten Bai Goudui and force Chen Qingzhi to return to the army to rescue, as for whether he can take this city, it does not matter.
If you want to attack the city, you can't do without foot soldiers, and you really take these two thousand cavalry to get off the horse and attack the city, not to mention the little high king who is diligent and thrifty, and he can't be reluctant to change Yaoxiong himself.
There were few words all the way, and they arrived outside the city of Baigoudui.
Bai Gou Dui, the Liang people mostly call Bai Gou City, there are 2,000 guards in the city, and the city defense is strong, but this is not enough to make the defenders feel at ease.
It must be known that Bai Goudui faced Runan County in Guangzhou, and the Wei general Hou Jing only marched southwest from Runan some time ago to attack Jingzhou in the east.
The names of several generals under Gao Cheng's command have long been inquired about by the Nanliang spies, and at this time, the flag of the Yao character general was played outside the city, and the guards of Bai Gou City naturally knew that it was Yao Xiong who led the troops.
Roughly counted, there are no less than 5,000 people outside the city, if more than 10,000 people under Hou Jing's command turn to the east to besiege Baigou City, then the disaster is imminent.
If Baigou City is lost, the Wei people can go south at any time to plunder Xihuai and other states.
Seeing that Yaoxiong was building siege equipment outside the city, the Baigou city guards did not dare to delay, and hurriedly sent several messengers to report to Chen Qingzhi for help.
To the west of Baigou City, Dugu, who led the troops to support East Jingzhou, met his wish, and attacked and defended several times with Hou Jing at the head of Biyang City, but gradually lost his support.
Seeing that Chen Qingzhi's troops were still confronting Gao Cheng in Xiangyang, Dugu led his troops to flee at night and returned to southern Jingzhou.
Hou Jing also finally captured the city of Zhibiyang in Eastern Jingzhou Prefecture (now Miyang, Henan).
Standing at the head of Biyang City, Hou Jing was full of spirits.
"Why didn't Ming Gong follow the words of the prince and wave his master to Bai Gou?"
Staff member Wang Wei finally couldn't help but ask.
Hou Jing sighed lightly:
"How can a big husband be driven by a child."
Wang Wei was silent.
After Hou Jing captured Biyang City, he allocated troops to attack the cities of Dongjingzhou, and soon, he recovered the entire territory of Dongjingzhou, but only sent a messenger to inform Gao Cheng that his soldiers were tired, and there was no movement.
When Gao Cheng heard the news, there was no turmoil in his heart, he knew his relationship with Hou Jing, and he could get by on the surface.
But Chen Qingzhi didn't know about the festival between the two, there was Hou Jing in the east and Gao Cheng in the north, Chen Qingzhi felt that he couldn't continue the stalemate.
Of the two Wei armies, Chen Qingzhi chose to face Gao Cheng, the purpose was to bully Gao Cheng who was young and good at governing the government, and neglected the characteristics of the battle formation.
If Gao Cheng is defeated, Hou Jing's lone army will retreat.
Who knew that Gao Cheng actually defended the camp, no matter how he called the battle to invite the battle, he didn't pay attention.
At this time, Chen Qingzhi received the news that Gao Cheng's general Yaoxiong attacked Baigoudui.
finally realized that he had been wary of Gao Cheng to make himself relax his vigilance and take the opportunity to attack at night.
It turned out to be a strategy to attack the enemy and save it, no wonder he was so calm.
Chen Qingzhi looked at the Wei army camp and was silent.
Northern Wei Dynasty camp.
"Metropolitan Governor, the Liang people are leaving!"
When Gao Cheng heard this, he no longer pestered Murong Shaozong to ask for advice on the art of war, and he hurriedly rode a horse and several generals under the escort of his own guards, and went out of the camp to check.
Sure enough, I saw that the Liang people's camp was noisy, as if they were packing up.
This made Gao Cheng overjoyed, and said in his heart:
'Back then, I fought side by side with Gao Huan in Hanling and defeated the 200,000 allied forces of the Erzhu clan.
Now that Chen Qingzhi has been forced to return in vain outside Xiangyang City, who dares to bully me when I am young, saying that I don't know how to soldier? ’
"It must have been Chen Qingzhi who knew that Bai Goudui was surrounded, so he had to withdraw his troops in a hurry."
After Gao Cheng analyzed, he turned back to the generals and ordered:
"You guys quickly follow me back to the camp, assemble the troops, and we will follow the pursuit, and we will always bite a piece of flesh and blood of the Liang people."
After that, hit the horse and leave.
The Gyeonggi units, which had been shrinking for more than ten days, finally came out of camp and lined up.
There was a scout report confirming that Chen Qingzhi's army had left the camp.
Gao Cheng was even more excited, letting He Liuhun suffer so many days of scolding, how could he tell Chen Qingzhi to evacuate easily.
"Generals, follow me to pursue the Liang people."
After Gao Cheng gave the order, he didn't forget to remind:
"Remember to keep the formation, don't give Liang people a chance to counterattack."
At the sound of an order, the whole army marched.
It doesn't seem that difficult to fight! ’
Gao Cheng, who was riding on the horse, thought proudly.
He was going to hang his head right behind him, putting pressure on Chen Qingzhi, hoping to make a gain in the pursuit.
But to Gao Cheng's surprise, when he passed by the Liang army's camp, he saw that the camp was full of supplies.
"Oops!"
Gao Cheng patted his head, and finally remembered what happened to Cui Yanbo, the Northern Wei army could not see the materials left behind after the enemy fled.
He shouted:
"Don't loot supplies!"
Gao Aocao's 5,000 Han troops have been following him for a long time and can still be restrained, while Murong Shaozong's 5,000 county soldiers have already rushed into the Liang army's camp to fight.
And the 2,000 Xianbei soldiers under Duan Shao's command also poured in under the demonstration of the 2,000 state and county soldiers under his department.
Duan Shao tried his best to stop, but he and Gao Cheng also had few combat exploits and lacked prestige.
For a time, the Wei army was in chaos.
And the Liang army, who was about to retreat, actually turned around and killed.
Gao Cheng was about to red-eyed: Chen Qingzhi, you don't talk about martial arts!
