Chapter 263: Deterrence

Qingshan Pass is located in the north of Yongping Mansion in Beizhili, a hundred miles away from Santun Camp, just northeast of the Qinwang army led by Chen Xinjia.

The Qing army sneaked through the southeast of Santun camp, the northwest of Qian'an, and the middle zone.

Yang Guozhu led his troops to garrison in Qian'an, and defeated the vanguard of the Qing army twice.

At that time, the vanguard of the Qing army was in the southeast of Qian'an, intending to approach Lengkou, so Yang Guozhu's follow-up focus was also on the east and south, and did not pay too much attention to the northwest.

By the time Yang Guozhu received the report that he had not received the night and heard that the advance of the Qing army was galloping past from the northwest, it was already too late.

Qingshan Pass fell, Chen Guowei lost the pass and fled, the main force of the Qing army moved extremely quickly, and went straight to Qingshan Pass at the first time.

More than 80,000 Qing troops carried more than 300,000 captive civilians and marched towards Qingshan Pass.

The Qing army placed the captured people and baggage in the center of the front army and the middle army to protect it, and the rangers were all over the outside, divided into five formations, four of which were arrayed on both wings, and the last one was broken, and then moved slowly.

Yang Guozhu fought two battles in a row, although he won, but the casualties of the soldiers under his command were not small, so he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, but sent Tang Ma to quickly whip up the horse to report that Sun Chuanting, who was stationed in the capital city of Yong'an Mansion at this time, and Chen Xinjia's department stationed in the old place of Jizhou Town.

At this time, the anger in Chen Xinjia's heart was not much worse than that of Sun Chuanting.

"Heaven and earth have been ruined by such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Chen Xinjia's eyes were cracked, his hair was crowned with his fingers, and his body was even trembling because of anger.

"Chen Guowei, Chen Guowei, it's not a pity for you to die! It's not a pity to die!! ”

Chen Xinjia's heart was like a knife, and he just wanted to cut Chen Guowei with a thousand knives.

However, after Chen Guowei abandoned the pass and fled, he also knew that he was guilty, so he did not dare to come to Jizhou Town, and the withdrawal only stopped near the Luanhe River.

Moreover, Chen Guowei is the chief soldier of a town in the end, no matter how it is, if he wants to deal with it, he will have to wait until the post-war crime to deal with it, and the most he can do now is to send someone to control Chen Guowei first.

But in the current situation, although Chen Xinjia was angry, he didn't dare to really send someone to control Chen Guowei.

After all, Chen Guowei still has more than 4,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and most of these soldiers and horses are Chen Guowei's descendants.

In case Chen Guowei has other intentions and really provokes a mutiny, I am afraid that it will make the situation even more chaotic.

Chen Xinjia knows his situation very well, he is neither the governor of Jiliao, nor does he have enough prestige, his ability is just sparse and ordinary, and the generals under his command are already exhausted.

On Chen Guowei's side, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, even if he hates in his heart that he can't kill Chen Guowei now and then hurry up, but in the end, he can only issue a military order ordering him to make meritorious contributions.

Chen Xinjia has already made up his mind, and when he returns to the DPRK after the war, he will definitely use the authority in his hand to convict and behead Chen Guowei, and vent his hatred with the law of the country.

"Alas...... I'm sorry I can't live in the Cabinet......"

Chen Xinjia lowered his eyebrows and let out a long sigh.

Seeing that the situation had deteriorated in an instant, he had no choice, he only felt sorry for promoting Yang Sichang, who valued him.

The main force of the Qing army is swarming towards Qingshan Pass at this moment, and there are only nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, of which the infantry accounts for the majority, and it is really unwise to ride on foot.

Before leaving, Yang Sichang asked him that he must be cautious when sending troops to fight, save troops as much as possible, and do not go out without permission unless he encounters a good opportunity.

If Chen Guowei adheres to Qingshan Pass, then leading the troops to help Qingshan Pass, Chen Xinjia will naturally do it.

But now that Qingshan Pass has been lost, the main force of the Qing army is swarming, and the Qing army occupies the dangerous terrain around Qingshan Pass.

The distance from Yongping Fucheng, where Sun Chuanting is located, to Qingshan Pass is more than 300 miles, and it is also 90 miles to Qian'an, so it will take five or six days to reach the vicinity of Qingshan Pass.

What he can do now is actually only to wait for the follow-up fighters, wait for Sun Chuanting to lead the troops to come, and join forces with Sun Chuanting, so that he can have the capital to confront the Qing army.

"The generals of each battalion have gone to the outside of the account, are they holding a military meeting according to the original plan?"

Just when Chen Xinjia was worried, the guards guarding outside the tent walked in and reported to Chen Xinjia.

"Please come in."

Chen Xinjia waved his hand weakly.

It's a wait, but it's not just waiting in the same place.

Chen Xinjia is not ignorant of military affairs, when he was in Xuanda, he also fought with the army, and he is not a scholar who doesn't understand anything.

He had roughly estimated the route of the main force of the Qing army.

The place where he is now is located is about 100 miles away from Qingshan Pass, and there is a Luan River in between.

The main target of the Qing army was Qingshan Pass, and in the central belt, the main force of the Qin army led by Sun Chuanting was in the southeast of the Qing army, and the troops he led were in the northwest of the Qing army.

The advantage lies in the two-sided encirclement, but the disadvantage also lies in the two-sided encirclement.

Encircling on both sides can indeed make it difficult for the enemy to take care of one or the other.

But it is also possible to be broken by each and defeated one by one.

One of the main reasons for the failure of the Battle of Salhu was that the troops were scattered because the troops were divided into four routes, and then they were broken by Jiannu's concentrated heavy troops.

Therefore, it is necessary to grasp an appropriate degree, which can not only threaten the Qing army, but also not too far forward and expose too many flaws.

The chaotic footsteps came from outside the tent, Chen Xinjia stood up, and his expression slowly returned to normal.

As a manager, you need to keep your composure, keep a clear head, and you also need to stay calm, because the boss's every move can affect the whole army many times.

The guards guarding outside the tent lifted the hanging curtains, and two military attachés in fish-scale cuirass, burqa and belt, dressed in strong suits, stepped into the tent almost at the same time.

After entering the account, the two military attachés stood on the left and right, and the rest of the generals followed them on both sides of the tent.

The general who stood at the top of the left side was quite burly, with a beard, and he was quite burly, and he was the chief soldier of Shanxi.

In the battle of Jiazhuang, Hu Dawei's subordinates suffered heavy losses, but after retreating to Baoding Mansion, they were also replenished.

After the Qing army retreated north in Jinan, Hu Dawei also received an order to follow Liu Yuliang north.

Because of Du Wenhuan's death, Datong Town has no general commander for the time being, and Liu Yuliang is a soldier who doesn't know how to soldier, so in fact, the soldiers and horses in all camps and towns in Datong Town are all divided by Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu.

Then under Chen Xinjia's command, their authority did not change much.

After Yang Guozhu led his troops to leave Jizhou Town and follow Sun Chuanting to the southeast, Datong Town is now actually completely under the control of Hu Dawei, and the Xuanfu Town soldiers left by Yang Guozhu also faintly thought that Hu Dawei was the leader.

The three towns of Xuanfu, Shanxi, and Datong are close to each other, and in fact, many times it is a competitive relationship, so the relationship is not good.

But after the first battle of Jiazhuang, the three towns joined forces, and after the bloody battle, the three towns no longer had a problem with each other, and they were much closer to each other.

Regarding this situation, Chen Xinjia knows that although the military academies under his command are too harmonious with each other, the current situation is undoubtedly a good bonus to combat effectiveness.

Therefore, as the coach Chen Xinjia, he also turned a blind eye to this, and this also has a good side, as long as he envelops Hu Dawei, he can collect the hearts of the soldiers of the three towns.

In the first battle of Jiazhuang, the real fire of the soldiers of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi has been beaten, and their confidence has also been played.

Du Wenhuan has lived in the border for a long time and has a very high reputation, and his death aroused the indignation of the soldiers in Datong Town.

In the subsequent interception battle, the soldiers of the three towns all marched forward bravely and won a lot.

The generals of the three towns were all standing behind Hu Dawei at this time, and their eyebrows were all tired that could not be concealed.

In the depths of their eyes, there was bitter hatred and surging anger, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Chen Xinjia's gaze moved away from Hu Dawei's body and put it on the right head.

The general standing on the right is Zuo Guangxian.

After Hong Chengchou was transferred to the governor of Jiliao, Zuo Guangxian also went to the post with Hong Chengchou, serving as the governor of Jiliao and sub-training the general army of the Central Association.

Compared with Hu Dawei, Zuo Guangxian is not so burly, and his skin is not black and even a little fair.

Zuo Guangxian has a handsome face, born in the middle and peaceful, a pair of sleeping phoenix eyes are slightly drooping, with a mustache, and the essence can be seen between the low-hanging eyes, which is fierce.

The generals standing behind Zuo Guangxian were all generals of the Qin army, and they were all generals under Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou led part of the army to stay in the Gyeonggi area, and the rest of the army followed Chen Xinjia all the way north.

"You should have received the news that Qingshan Pass has fallen, and the main force of Jiannu has moved towards Qingshan Pass, and is about to get out of the pass."

Chen Xinjia's gaze swept over the generals in the tent.

Different from the Three Towns Military Academy with a depressed atmosphere, the generals and colonies belonging to the Qin Army sequence are all full of vigor and high fighting spirit.

At first, when facing Jiannu, they actually felt fear, after all, the impact of the name that has been coming all the time is naturally great.

However, before the battle was engaged, not long after arriving in the capital division, he heard a series of great victories coming from the south.

The news of the great victory dispelled the fear of Jiannu in the hearts of the generals in the original Qin army.

Everyone belongs to the three sides, they are all Qin's army, and the Qin army under Sun Chuanting can beat Jiannu, why can't they beat it?

After encountering Jiannu later, the Qin army, which was not affected by fear, also fought back and forth with Jiannu by virtue of its geographical advantages, and won a lot.

Liukou and Jiannu are indeed two different things, Jiannu is indeed fierce, and the casualties of each battalion of the Qin army are not small.

It was indeed the first time they had encountered such a strong opponent, so they also suffered a lot of losses in the early stage.

However, the reward that Jiannu's head can exchange for is ten or even a hundred times that of Liukou, and a head can be exchanged for dozens of taels of silver.

The generals of the Qin army were all fluctuating because of the high bounty, so they were naturally high-spirited.

As soon as Chen Xinjia's words fell, the generals of the Qin army were already surging, and the voices of the war were continuous, and they did not want to be left behind.

"As long as the governor gives the order, I will dare to move forward, if I blink my eyelids, I am not a man from Shaanxi!"

Chen Xinjia's heart was slightly widened, Jizhou Town was useless, but fortunately, the Qin army on the three sides was still there, and the battalion soldiers in Xuanda Shanxi Town also had the strength to fight.

"The construction of slaves is large, the number of people is large, several times that of me, we should slowly plan it, put stability first, and all ministries must not rush forward without orders"

Chen Xinjia waved his hand slightly, and the military spirit could be used, which made his heart settle down a lot, but he was not carried away by the high atmosphere in the tent.

The purpose of this military meeting was to issue a military order to march into the army.

They stayed in Jizhou Town for a long time, and the terrain in Qingshan Pass, Jizhou Town, and Qian'an had already been reconnoitred, so Chen Xinjia was clear about the terrain.

Chen Xinjia had already made a plan for the route of the march early on, and in the end, he had commanded the generals in Xuanda, and the orders issued were all clear.

In the camp tent, there are constantly generals who come out to answer the order and receive the order flag.

"After the military discussion is over, the battalions are ready to march according to the predetermined plan."

When the last order flag was taken after it was issued, Chen Xinjia also stood up.

"This battle is attracting the attention of the world, I hope you ......"

Just as Chen Xinjia was about to say something to boost morale, a loud commotion suddenly came from outside the tent.

Chen Xinjia's expression was slightly condensed, his eyes looked outside the tent, and the generals standing in the tent also turned their heads and looked out of the tent one after another.

"What's the commotion outside the tent?"

Without waiting for Chen Xinjia to send someone to ask what was going on, a personal guard had already walked into the tent from outside the tent.

"Chen Wang, the deputy commander of the town guard of Hanzhong Town, said that he was ordered by Lord Sun, the governor of Baoding, and he needed to see the governor if he had important matters."

"Chen Wang?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Xinjia's eyes.

He has an impression of this name, that is, this person beheaded Gao Yingxiang, who was originally a family member under Cao Wenzhao, and relied on his outstanding military exploits to rise all the way.

Recently, this person's name has frequently appeared in the Tang newspaper of Baojie.

"On Sun Chuanting's orders?"

Chen Xinjia frowned slightly, and was even more puzzled in his heart.

The Yongping Mansion City was nearly two hundred miles away from his location, but he still ordered.

"Let him in."

After receiving Chen Xinjia's order, the guard who had entered the tent stood up and hurriedly withdrew from the military tent to convey the order outside the camp.

In the tent, Zuo Guangxian and Hu Dawei, who were standing on the left and right, looked out of the tent almost at the same time when they heard Chen Wang's name.

The guards who came out of the tent had only been out for a dozen breaths, and the noise soon sounded outside the tent again.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, a young military general wearing a red arrow coat and an iron crown with a handsome face and several attendants had already stepped into the tent with several attendants.

A faint fishy smell slowly spread from the military tent......

Chen Xinjia's expression did not change, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart involuntarily sank downward.

The smell of blood, he had smelled, he was familiar with it, the smell of blood did not frighten him, nor did it make him discolored.

The reason why Chen Xinjia's face changed was because of a sword held in the arms of a soldier at Chen Wang's side.

That sword, Chen Xinjia has seen it, and he has seen it when he was in the palace.

That sword is the Shang Fang sword given to Sun Chuanting by the Son of Heaven, and the yellow satin dragon pattern brocade set covered with it, and the gems and gold attached to it are all corroboration.

Chen Xinjia has seen many Shang Fang swords of different shapes.

But......

This was the first time he had seen the blood-stained Shang Fang Sword.
