Chapter 889: Jinju is in trouble
Under the protection of his subordinates, Guo Kai escaped from the border of Xizhou in time, and with the three thousand elite soldiers on this trip, he was still fighting with Su Qi'an's men, but Guo Kai didn't care at all, he had already escaped from Xizhou, and was at the junction of the three states.
At that time, it will converge with the army of Ganzhou, and as for Su Qi'an in Xizhou, there will be time and other consumption in the future.
Now the most important thing for Guo Kai is to seize time, enter Ganzhou one step earlier than Su Qi'an's people, as for the three thousand elite soldiers who fought fiercely, as long as they take Ganzhou, even if the whole army is wiped out, it is meaningful.
Guo Kai did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and under the protection of his subordinates, he quickly walked in the direction of Ganzhou.
At the same time, Su Qi'an, who was staying in Qingshan Town, waited for about an hour or so before the assembled militia arrived.
Naturally, the leaders were Li Hu and Zhao Da, and the two stepped forward, with excited looks on their faces, and hurriedly hugged their fists.
"My subordinates meet you."
"Sir, we are ready to go."
Su Qi'an nodded, there was no nonsense, and he directly ordered, and the assembled militia was sent to Jinzhou in an instant.
Retracting his gaze from the army, Su Qi'an looked at Luo Qingyuan on the side, and was just about to speak, when he was interrupted.
"Qi An, I know what you think, I want the old man to return to Xizhou, I'm afraid that the old man will be in danger in Jinzhou, right?"
"Your kindness, the old man understands it, but the old man is a Xizhou pastor, even if he is old and frail, but not to the point where he can't walk."
"This time the army was sent to Jinzhou, not on behalf of the old man himself, but the entire Xizhou, Su Zhe dared to send troops to attack Xizhou, and the old man had to let him know that Xizhou was not easy to mess with."
Luo Qingyuan's attitude was resolute, and Su Qi'an did not stop him when he saw this, and nodded and agreed to accompany him.
Luo Qingyuan's insistence, in addition to getting a breath of back for Xizhou, is more important to support Su Qi'an.
Chased all the way, broke through, returned to Xizhou, and now fought back, to let the Daliang states know that behind Su Qi'an, it was supported by Xizhou, and it was not so easy to fight Su Qi'an's idea again.
This time the troops were not sent to capture Jinju, and with the strength of their troops this time, they would definitely not be able to do it.
But insisting on sending troops, it was more about beating and deterring, so that Su Zhe, who was far away in Kyoto, was not so moisturized, and he wanted to make him feel afraid.
Therefore, in this battle, Su Qi'an's momentum was huge, creating a posture of vowing to take Jinju, and before leaving, Su Qi'an also learned from the two kings and came to tell the world once.
In particular, to Jinju, he publicly released a crusade document, with the will of the previous emperor, as the king of Yongcheon, to crusade against the two kings who killed the king and killed his father, and called on people with lofty ideals in the world to jointly overthrow these two traitors who were disloyal and unfilial and surrendered to foreign people.
This kind of crusade against Zhuwen, the Daliang states, will definitely not send troops, and will definitely take a wait-and-see posture.
After all, no one is a fool, and there is no need to risk this troubled water, but there is a good saying, the teacher is famous.
What Su Qi'an wants is not the support of the states, but to create a kind of public opinion, the bigger the public opinion, the better, I can't wait for the whole Daliang to hear about it.
Sometimes, public opinion can play a big role, and it can even reverse the good or bad of war.
Not to mention anything else, just like Su Qi'an was labeled as a traitor who killed the king, if it weren't for the help of Su Ji and Li Chongxiang, if he went to other places, he would definitely be spurned and pointed out by thousands of people.
In the feudal era of Daliang, the supremacy of imperial power has always been engraved in the hearts of hundreds of people.
Whoever becomes the new emperor and has the so-called orthodox legitimacy is basically easy to convince the people of the states, and even the state pastors of the states, even if they are cautious, do not dare to openly rebel in the face of orthodoxy and legitimacy.
Da Liang is the orthodox and legitimate ruler of this land, representing the will of God, and the imperial power of the Eight Classics.
Like Su Zhe and Su Tai, the two of them divided and ruled Da Liang, and each ascended the throne as the emperor, even if he became the emperor, he did not dare to change the name of the country without authorization.
They all have the country name of cold, but in order to distinguish them, one is called Jin Liang, and the other is Zhao Liang.
This is also done in order to win people's hearts, with the two of them being so high, they dare not change the country name without authorization, and they also openly crusade against Su Qi'an and splash dirty water on it under the guise of legal legitimacy.
Suffice it to show the importance of public opinion.
In this counterattack, Su Qi'an naturally would not give Su Zhe a handle to rebel, and also came to a public crusade, representing the entrustment of the emperor.
has been splashed with dirty water for so long, and it is Su Qi'an's turn to fight back.
When Su Qi'an led 30,000 troops to Jinzhou, Guo Kai also arrived in Ganzhou and joined his 40,000 Jinzhou soldiers.
Without any hesitation, directly cooperate with the frontal Honored Soldiers and surprise from the rear.
It's just that this raid was not as easy as it seemed on the surface, not only did it not succeed, but it was stubbornly resisted.
In addition to entering Ganzhou at the beginning, taking a few military forts and tasting the sweetness, when further attacking the capital and protecting the mansion, it was quite difficult.
The defense of the Duhufu is strong, Guo Kai is somewhat mentally prepared, after all, it is the central city of Ganzhou, and the defense is strong, so he quickly ordered to divide his troops to attack two nearby military towns.
As a result, they all returned with a feather, and the degree of defense was no less than that of the Duhu Mansion, which made Guo Kai a little confused.
This is not at all the same as what he knew before.
Previously, he had been stationed in Mengzhou and took over the affairs of Mengzhou, and as for Ganzhou, Wang Zhenshan had always been in charge.
At the beginning, I only knew that taking the capital protection mansion was equivalent to taking half of Ganzhou, and as for the frontal battlefield, that is, the three frontier military towns of Tiannan, Longquan, and Wuwei, they had long been entangled by the Rongbing soldiers who went south.
If you want to take Ganzhou, you have to take the capital protection mansion, I thought it was a beautiful difference, the main army is on the front line, he attacked from the rear, even if it doesn't work, it can cause heavy losses, but as a result, not only did the capital protection mansion fail to take, even the two nearby military towns couldn't gnaw it.
Guo Kai suspected that the main force in Ganzhou was not at the forefront at all, and had been in the capital to protect the mansion, otherwise how could it be so difficult to fight.
Of course, it's no wonder that Guo Kai, the news he got was really a little outdated, after Mengzhou was taken, the Dongshan Army in Mengzhou was defeated and retreated to Ganzhou not long after.
Wang Zhenshan convened a high-level council to discuss the deployment of troops in Ganzhou.
It is very bold to change the center of the capital to the capital of the palace, but to take the capital of the palace as the boundary, and divide Ganzhou into two parts, east and west.
The three towns of Wuwei, Tiannan, and Longquan in the east were the core, and together with the countries of the Western Regions in the west, they jointly faced the Rongren who went south from Mengzhou.
The Metropolitan Protectorate in the rear, together with the two nearby military towns, divided the western battlefield into a place to deal with a sneak attack from the rear.
The eastern battlefield was commanded by Wang Zhenshan and Xie Cang, and the western battlefield was commanded by Song Biao, Er Meng, and Chen Zhi.
The biggest difference between the two battlefields is that each is in charge of its own battlefield, does not interfere with each other, and the command of both sides is at the same level, and the ultimate goal is to defend Ganzhou at all costs.
This kind of change is not bold, not only dividing the military power in their own hands, but also separating the control of Ganzhou, to put it bluntly, if someone hides selfishness, Ganzhou will be directly divided.
If you are an ordinary person, you can't make this kind of decision.
But Wang Zhenshan dared to make this kind of decision, and naturally made a lot of determination, not only to trust Song Biao, Chen Zhi, Er Meng and other Dongshan Army, but also to trust the founder of Dongshan Army, Su Qi'an.
In war, we absolutely must not stick to our own opinions, we must judge the hour and size up the situation, change our strategic layout in a timely manner, and blindly stubbornly persist in bringing ourselves into the endless abyss.
Fortunately, Wang Zhenshan was able to judge the situation, change in time, and try boldly, and the benefits of this change are also huge.
From the overall consideration, the troops were transferred back and forth to defend everywhere, and they were exhausted, but now they only care about the battlefield in front of them, the troops are concentrated, and the battlefield they are responsible for has also shrunk.
The reinforcements between the back and forth can also arrive in time, and more importantly, there is no need to worry about the sneak attack of the enemy behind them, and you can give it a go and fight with all your might.
Similarly, the three people in charge of the eastern battlefield did not have to worry about the frontal battlefield, and they could defend with all their might, and under this defense, they even found a gap and sent troops to fight a counterattack, and the Jinju soldiers who fought the surprise attack were defeated one after another.
The raid turned into a siege, which should be the biggest military failure.
Of course, Guo Kai can't be blamed for careful investigation, who made him face the Dongshan Army, which has the strongest combat power in Su Qi'an's hands.
In particular, he has fought many times with the Rongbing soldiers in the north, and at this intensity, the strength of the Dongshan Army will only get stronger and stronger.
Even in the face of several times the enemy's Jinju soldiers, with the advantage of city defense, they can gain the upper hand.
Even if Guo Kai has countless reasons to excuse himself, he really wants to tell Su Zhe with this kind of rhetoric that there is only a dead end waiting for him.
At this time, Guo Kai was extremely annoyed in his heart, if he couldn't take the Duhu Mansion within the specified time, let alone how to explain to Su Zhe, I'm afraid even Rongren wouldn't be able to explain it.
Guo Kai's face was solemn, looking at the stalemate again, his eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and said coldly.
"Pass on the military order of Honshu, gather all the troops, and attack the capital at all costs, regardless of everything."
"Remember, what Benzhou said is reckless, regardless of casualties, if anyone dares to drop the chain, in front of my emperor, none of you can run, all of you have to lose your head."
Guo Kai's words still had some effect, under the shroud of death, the attacking Jinzhou soldiers, each like crazy, fearless of death to attack the capital with all their might.
The upper hand that was originally occupied, under this kind of crazy offensive, went all the way down, and gradually the Dongshan Army defending the city, the pressure doubled, and the fight was quite difficult.
Guo Kai's tense heart was slightly relieved, and just as he was about to sigh, a soldier behind him ran up to him like a ghost, and hurriedly shouted.
"Oh no, my lord, Jinju is besieged!"
