Chapter 177: Heading north to Jinyang
Duan Shao led the army back to the forbidden ditch, and faced the inquiries of Murong Shaozong, Ke Zhu Hunyuan, and Hou Yuan, who were ordered to answer, but he only said that he had completed the task, and he was the class teacher.
Regarding the guessed Gao Huan's defeat, Duan Shao didn't say a word.
When the four men returned to Tongguan together and returned to Gao Cheng, Duan Shao gave him a look, and Gao Cheng understood.
When he retreated from the generals, Gao Cheng suddenly said:
"Filial piety will stop first, and then talk to me about the scenery of Kansai."
left Duan Shao alone.
"Say it."
Gao Cheng's face was gloomy.
Duan Shao hurriedly took the class, and deliberately wanted to find a chance to be alone with him, so naturally he had important information.
But now in Guanzhong, in addition to Gao Huan's defeat, what is there to be so cautious about him.
Sure enough, Duan Shao informed Gao Cheng of the fact that the sentinel had discovered that a large number of Western Wei soldiers had appeared on the north bank of the Wei River.
"Is it possible to rout?"
Gao Cheng asked with a hint of luck.
Duan Shao shattered this fluke:
"The Western Army calmly lined up on the riverbank, and it didn't seem like a defeat."
"Got it."
Gao Cheng said a word, and then fell silent, and after a long time, he spoke again and praised:
"Hyoxian, you're doing a great job."
Duan Shao's caution is worthy of his trust in him, but this news can't be hidden for long, rather than letting Yuwentai's people talk nonsense outside the gate, it is better to give the generals a preventive shot.
Gao Cheng summoned his personal guards and ordered to summon the rest of the generals, and soon, Murong Shaozong and other generals sitting in Tongguan were all present.
The gaze swept over everyone present, stupid people such as Duan Shao and Murong Shaozong had not guessed, after all, Zhao Dong slowly hurried back, and before saying a few words to Low Cheng, he summoned everyone back, if it was a trivial matter.
Is it too stupid, such as low-season, or confused.
"My father is in Guanzhong, and he may have been defeated."
Low Cheng's words fell on everyone's hearts, like a thunderbolt.
How can you lose? This is the 700,000 Eight Towns Xianbei and Qihu small army, a famine in Guanzhong, all broken into that appearance, a group of starving ghosts, why defeat the small army of the Western Expedition, this is the low king leading the army to conquer himself.
Since the self-confidence of Du Jianyi, Low Huan's winning record has only brought arrogance, not to mention the prestige in the hearts of the generals under his command.
After the war, in the Kanto region, no one would doubt that the low Huan expedition to the west would not be safe.
Even if Low Cheng ordered Zhao Dongma to step on the pass, he thought that he was putting pressure on Zhao Dongyun, but he thought that Low Cheng was trying to strengthen the pass as much as possible for the future.
The sound of discussion is overwhelming, and on the panicked, anxious, and disbelieving faces, we can see through our true thoughts in a low light.
People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and no one has a pair of discerning eyes that understand the world.
"Everyone!"
He shouted in a low voice, and immediately stopped the discussion.
Sweeping under the faces of the people present, Low Cheng continued:
"This battle is Han Ling! The heaven of the low family will also be lost! ”
Everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring: The heavens of the low family? Little general, is he willing to pretend?
Low Cheng picked up the pen, got up and walked to the erected Kanyu map, first circled Gao Yue, and said in a low voice:
"You got the news this morning, my father left General Hu Lu to lead 80,000 people to guard Gaoyue, Zhao Dong is here, Wang Sizheng dares to enter Hedong."
Write again in Tongguan:
"Tongguan is here, and Wang Sizheng can go to Henan, so he has to return to his teacher, but he is noticed by Xiaoxian.
"There was a famine in Guanzhong, the people withered, and then the spring ploughing was in vain, for Wang Sizheng, the most important thing was to organize manpower to grab seeds, in order to not harvest, there must be time to look east.
"Besides, without your low son, the sky in Kanto is over!"
Hu Luguang was also relieved when he heard that his father was guarding Gao Yue, and the rest of the people heard Low Cheng's analysis and found that they were now on a par with Han Ling.
Wang Sizheng has no possibility of going east, and at this time, Low Huan is in Yecheng, and he can't retreat to Luoyang at any time, and there are no dangers along the way.
Although the time difference between the low clan and the Erzhu clan is that of a short time, the foundation is obviously more stable than the Erzhu clan, and a small defeat will be reversed in the sky.
And as Low Cheng said, even if Low Huan has it, I haven't presided over the small game.
Regarding Low Cheng's ability, everyone, as a trusted young general, is the most ambiguous, and even people such as Yuwentai, Dugu Yongye and others are looking forward to Low Cheng's next step, which can also lead us to rise and fall.
When Low Cheng was appeasing the generals in Tongguan, a cavalry sent by Zhao Dongyun also came to Tongguan to call the door with the captured Low Huan Shuai Banner.
got the report, and Low Cheng went to the head of the city in person.
The horseman is whispering:
"Wei Cheng Xiangtai didn't say: 'Low Huan was buried in the sea of fire, Dou Tai rebelled according to Gao Cheng, Zihui is to return quickly, don't let the family business fall into the hands of the insiders.'" ”
Fewer people are heckling:
"Low Cheng! Dou Tai occupied Lou Zhaojun and was waiting for him to recognize his father to Gao Cheng! ”
"Duan Rong attacked and killed Lou Zhao and Di Gan! Zhao Dong, he is still staying in Tongguan to do anything, the prime minister has not yet played the son of heaven, and his father is the king, or slowly return to Hebei to be his king! ”
"Hu Luguang! His father, Hu Lu Jin Xiancheng, lowered the prime minister, and is waiting for him to enter the customs for reunion. ”
Low Cheng has not yet spoken, Hua Yin and Hu Luguang have not yet been on top of the rage, pulling their bows and killing people.
lost several lives one after another, and the group of knights also fled with the handsome banner of low joy.
"Little General"
Hua Yin and Hu Luguang were about to explain, but they were held by Low Cheng:
"Xiaoxian, Mingyue, don't worry, it's the discord of some vulgar people, how can Cheng fall for it."
But this handsome flag still verified the defeat of Low Huan's army after all.
Low Cheng has judged the life and death of Low Huan, but I can stay in Tongguan any longer.
Once Low Huan really dies on the battlefield, I will return for a long time, and what choice Dou Tai, who has gathered the defeated troops in Gao Cheng, will make, and everyone has a law to guarantee it.
At that time, military power was not a reason, and whoever mastered Bingzhou Hu would have the smallest truth in the sky.
Behind the lowest power, fathers and sons, brothers can still be suspected, let alone just cousins.
Who knows if Zhao Dong, who suffered such a temptation, can maintain his loyalty to Low Huan just like history.
Low Cheng dares to stay for a long time, but I am also willing to give up Tongguan.
So he left Huayin, Murong Shaozong, Zhao Dongyun, Ke Zhu Hunyuan, Duan Shao, and Dugu Yongye to lead 80,000 auxiliary soldiers to guard Tongguan.
With Huayin as the main general and Murong Shaozong as the deputy, when parting, he explained that Huayin should defy the opinions of Yuwentai less in order to defend the city.
Low Cheng himself led Hu Luguang and Low Ji Shi to lead 7,000 horsemen out of Tongguan and rushed to Fenglingdu.
met the first batch of envoys sent by Hu Lujin halfway, and also confirmed the news of Low Huan's defeat, but he still knew life and death.
Before crossing the river to the north, in Pujin, Low Cheng let Hu Luguang cross the Yellow River to the west, and then to Zhao Dong.
Hu Luguang thought that Low Cheng suspected the rumors of Hu Lujin's surrender, and he was not in Tongguan again, but he was also willing to take me to Zhao Dong again, Hu Luguang said stubbornly:
"The last will vouch for my father's life to be a thief, and please don't doubt the little general."
Low Cheng held Hu Luguang's hand and said sincerely:
"Cheng knows the loyalty of Mingyue's father and son, if he is suspicious, how can Cheng let Mingyue leave, now Zhao Dong must be shaken by the hearts of the people, Mingyue will go to pass the word for you, only say that Cheng does not control the situation in Gao Cheng, in order to stabilize the hearts of Gao Yue."
When Hu Luguang heard those words, he hesitated again, immediately crossed the river, and before getting on the boat, he hit his horse and went straight to Gao Yue.
On the way to Gaoyue, Hu Luguang met the newly sent messenger from Jinyang to Gaoyue, and hurriedly divided us into two groups, one group went to Tongguan to spread the message and stabilize the hearts of the people in Tongguan, and the other group went to Gaocheng and directly informed Low Cheng.
At this time, Gao Yue and Low Huan only woke up two days before they were in a coma.
Thirsty, I lay down on the couch and murmured:
"Honey water, lonely want honey water."
The servant man who temporarily came to serve saw me wake up, and hurriedly went out to look for honey at the same time, and reported to Jinyang, Jinyang stood at the door with a knife for two days, how to close his eyes.
Hearing the good news from the servant man, Jin Yang rushed back to the house, looking at the lower than healthy Huan under the bed, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes:
"Xiangwang!"
"It's Ning Shi, slow down and help the lonely."
Jin Yang helped Low Huan up as he said.
Low Huan looked blankly, but when he saw Low Cheng's figure, I asked slowly:
"What about Hou Yuan? Why did Hou Yuan still come to Gao Cheng? ”
Zhao Dong was speechless for a while, and on Low Huan's questioning, he told me that the situation was tight at that time, and the Western Army was chasing eastward, and I could only tell the truth about Low Huan's back to Gao Yue.
When Low Huan learned that he was in Gao Yue, he was shocked and coughed continuously, but fortunately, it was difficult to calm his breath, and Low Huan asked anxiously:
"Didn't they inform Hou Yuan?"
Jin Yang nodded and said:
"On the night that the last general entered the city, he found the old ministry and reported to the prince to inform the king of the news."
That time, Low Huan was completely panicked, and even forgot about his thirst, I urged:
"Send someone to deliver the message slowly, let Hou Yuan, let Hou Yuan go to Zhao Dong quickly."
"The last will be arranged."
Zhao Dong put down Low Huan, let me lie down well, go out with small steps, and arrange for the messenger to report to Low Cheng.
Low Huan lay under the bed, and the worry in her heart had been declining.
He was in Gaoyue, low Chengyuan was in Hengnong, Tongguan, before the defeat, Gao Cheng was in a power vacuum, with the rout fleeing back to Hedong, Dou Tai, who was originally left behind but had a lot of troops, suddenly held a heavy army.
That was what Low Huan had expected, and he only hoped that Zhao Dong would live up to that trust.
Low Huan also understood that he could blame Zhao Dong for bringing him to Gao Yue.
With the situation at that time, it was a great luck to be able to escape with his life, Jin Yang risked his life to carry himself out of the battlefield, and that friendship had to be remembered no matter what, and how could he blame the other party for not risking himself to send himself back to Zhao Dong.
When Jin Yang retreated again, he brought a bowl of sugar water.
In front of him, he also followed the young generals who heard that Low Huan came over in a daze, such as Hu Lujin, Peng Le, Xue Guyan, etc.
Low Huan drank a bowl of sugar water and felt a little more comfortable.
Seeing that all the generals were concerned, they cheered up and cheered up, and encouraged everyone:
"The Kanto soldiers and horses are majestic, and it's just a defeat, you can still make a comeback."
The generals also retreated, hoping that Low Huan could take care of his body, saying that Guanzhong was broken, and he only needed to recuperate for a year or seven, and then raise troops, and Guanzhong could fight a battle.
After holding on for a while, Low Huan felt a splitting headache, so that the generals could knock out the clues, Low Huan weakly endured the pain, waved his hand and ordered the generals to go forward first, and left Jinyang and Xue Guyan to take turns to guard me, so I couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.
The next shift is in the morning, and I can't stay up all night in the future, and my body really can't bear it.
Thank you for the reward from Yu Yu.
