Chapter 618: Juma River
Xu Shiji is back, and the news he brought back undoubtedly made everyone's hearts completely fall during this time.
Fighting a war is to fight grain, Zhai Rang knocked Liyang Cang to death, this is the reason, Yang Yong can't get food in Luoyang, so he doesn't dare to go to Jiangdu, which is also the truth.
Gao Shida's grain and grass are finished, not only is there no food, but the impact on the morale of the army is very huge.
If a person knows that he has eaten this meal and has not finished his meal, he will definitely not choose to continue working, but to find something to eat.
It's still iron, the rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you're hungry.
The people live on food.
"Tu Wanxu also knows that the rebels' grain and grass have been burned, right?" Li Jiancheng asked with a smile in the lobby.
Xu Shiji nodded: "Gu Chenggong is already recruiting the rebels, those who are willing to surrender, one person will give three buckets of wheat rice, Gao Shida will fight for two days, and he will not be able to fight, and the rebels will flee every day, thousands." ”
Yang Ming looked at Gao Biaoren with a smile and said, "It's time for you to go out and surrender, except for one evil, the court will not pursue the others." ”
Who is the first evil? It's those people with the surname Gao, Yang Ming will definitely completely weaken the Hebei clan of Bohai Gao this time, but anyone who participates in the rebellion, as long as the surname is Gao, even if you are not Bohai Gao, there will be no one left.
Then it must be appropriate for Gao Biaoren and Gao Zhan to be the envoys, because they are of the same clan as Gao Shida, and they will not be ruthless to them.
Gao Biaoren got up and nodded: "The minister will go down to prepare, and he will definitely live up to his mission." ”
At this time, it is the opportunity for the old Gao family to keep the small and the big, Gao Biaoren will definitely cover up when he goes to negotiate, and he will find a way to open up the net if he can kill or not, and Gao Shida is also relatively easy to accept people of the same clan to persuade him to surrender, because there is room for negotiation.
Then, Yang Ming looked at Xu Shiji, Pei Xing, Pei Sheng and others, and said with a smile:
"Feng Xu Shiji is the protector, Pei Xing Pei Sheng is the protector, and the rest are all named Huairen Lieutenant, and Xuan Ling is recorded."
Fang Xuanling is a merit examiner.
Twelve turns of martial arts, the upper protector is the fourth grade, the protector is the fourth grade, and the Huairen Lieutenant is the eighth grade, which is a kind of honor, there is no real power, and the real power depends on your actual position, that is, the rank of the minister.
The tradition of the Great Sui is that the title is very high, but the actual position is very low, because the real position in power is occupied.
Yang Ming gave Xu Shiji Hu Ben Lang General, Pei Xing Pei Sheng Guo Yi Lang General.
"The major event of Xindu has been decided, the Great Wall of Ronggong has been lost, and it has been defeated and retreated, and there is Ge Qian behind him, and the north and south are sandwiched, and the situation is not optimistic," Xue Shui said in a deep voice.
There is no way to come to Hu'er, the Vara Khitan army has not fought seriously at all, they have been afraid of the Turks for many years, and the gap in the Great Wall is almost all the defense lines of these two tribes have been opened.
Now Laihu'er can't take care of so much, with his army and the Liaodong army is retreating to Hejian County, Juyong Pass is lost, and Zhuojun can't hold it.
"The Turks are menacing, if Rong Gong has no reinforcements, Zhuojun is probably a situation of misery, but right now, we have no troops to send," Du Ruhui frowned and said: "Otherwise, let Huaiyi go north along the canal, right?" ”
Yang Xuanzong agreed: "Huaiyi has the boat I brought from Luoyang, and Qinghe County also has a boat, we can also go north along the river and go straight to Zhuo County." ”
"The prince can't go," Fang Xuanling shook his head.
"I'll go!" Xu Shiji and Liang Shi both got up at the same time and said.
Yang Ming raised his hand, motioned for the two to sit down, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:
"The situation in Xindu has become clear, Gao Shida has no power to return to heaven, and Ge Qian can't save it, so it is very likely that he will return to the division and join forces with the Turks to protect his children, time is urgent, pass on my general order, two days later, the lonely relatives will conquer Zhuo County, so that Shi Huaiyi will immediately go north and open up the road for me."
The crowd dissuaded, of course, to no avail.
Laihu'er is too important, Yang Ming can't let him die there, the current situation, if he can't be rescued in time, the possibility of Laihu'er dying in battle is very high.
On August 21, the Qinghe Cui clan allocated ships, and Yang Ming led an army of less than 10,000 people to the north by boat.
Pei Xingyan and Dou Jiande returned to Zhao County, reorganized Dou Jiande's army, and then immediately went north and marched to Zhuo County.
The Juma River in the south of Zhuo County, that is, the Juma River of later generations, the Juju River here and the rejection of later generations, is a meaning, it is the only river in Hebei Province that continues all year round, and is one of the five major water systems in Beijing.
Listening to the name, I also know that it is not easy here, Laihu'er has retreated to the river now, there is no way, the place he must pass through when he goes south is Hejian County, and he can't get around.
The second son Lai Yuan and his uncle Lai Chengmin were killed in battle, Yang Wanshi was seriously injured, and the rest of the army was less than 6,000 people.
The Turks were too fierce, and the soldiers under his command were too miscellaneous to carry them at all.
"The Northern Expedition was defeated, the Turks seized a large number of refined weapons, we have no advantage, although Rong Gong is defeated, he is still glorious," the general Fei Qingnu knew that their gang was finished this time.
To the south of the Juma River, there are Geqian rebels, and to the north are the Turkic iron cavalry who are in hot pursuit, and now they are blocked by the river and cannot be forcibly crossed, which is already a trap for beasts.
Jieli's army was not far to the north, and he gave Laihu'er half a day to think about it, and if he surrendered, he would canonize Laihu'er as the Khan of the East.
Laihu'er took advantage of this half day to send hundreds of rangers across the river to check the situation on the other side of the river, to see where there were no thieves, and to count as many as they could pass by then.
It is impossible to make him surrender, the historical Lai Hu'er was also killed in Jiang Du Yu Culture, when he knew that Yang Guang was killed, he said a sentence: I am a minister, the Dutch country is a heavy responsibility, and I can't eliminate the rebellion, so I ordered the royal family to come here, hold a grudge against Quanyang, and know what to say.
This is a loyal minister, Yang Ming's favorite is a loyal minister, a loyal minister can't die, although it is Yang Guang who comes to protect his son.
Laihu'er has already arranged for several other sons, and he will be the first to cross the river, and he will come to the palace to buy time for his sons.
"Qingnu has been with me for the longest time, but I haven't enjoyed a few days of wealth, and now I will go quickly, all of my master and servant," Lai Hu'er instructed Fei Qingnu.
Fei Qingnu was indifferent: "There is only death today, and the humble post will never turn his back on the master." ”
At this moment, several cavalrymen suddenly appeared in the eastern direction, and after a few glances at Laihu'er, they divided into two horses and galloped forward, while the rest turned their horses and left quickly.
"Father, this is our ranger," the third son Laihong said excitedly.
When the ranger got closer, the knight quickly dismounted, ran to Laihu'er, and said: "Please Rong Gong quickly form a formation, Taiping Gong is twenty-five miles away from this, and it has been reported quickly, please Rong Gong must insist, the prince has landed on the canal and led the army to arrive." ”
The army of Laihu'er, who was originally depressed, was instantly refreshed.
Without using to protect his son's orders, Fei Qingnu has already begun to gather the generals to line up.
"Now it depends on the destiny of heaven, if the Turks also find out about the prince's movements, I am afraid that they will attack immediately, if we move closer to the east, it will be difficult to form a formation, and we will collapse at the first touch, so we can only defend this place," Deng Wei said.
Lai Hu'er said expressionlessly: "What day is today?" ”
"Back to my father, the ninth day of the ninth month," he said.
Lai Hu'er nodded: "On the day of the heavy nine, the ninety-nine return to the truth, the beginning of one yuan, is a good day." ”
The Double Ninth Festival, called the Chongjiu Festival in the Great Sui, is not a statutory holiday, but it is also a big festival among the people.
On the Turkic side, naturally they also found the army coming from the east, and after weighing it, they chose to form a formation to the east, after all, Laihu'er was already a remnant, and there was no threat, but the one from the east was a new force.
The 30,000 troops of Shi Huaiyi, Shi Wanbao, and Song Laosheng were rapidly approaching in the direction of Hu'er, and Yang Ming, who had landed after the landing, was wearing armor and personally led 5,000 cavalry to take the lead.
"How is it a handsome flag?" In the Turkic Great Array, Jieli frowned and looked at Zhao Deyan beside him: "Yang Ming is here?" Shouldn't he, isn't he in Qinghe County? ”
Zhao Deyan frowned and said: "Maybe it's a disguise, Yang Ming is the prince and the prince, so he shouldn't come here." ”
Kang Sheli shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, I have seen this son in Daxing, he is by no means an extraordinary person, he has too high prestige in the army, he has a very high ability to command troops, he dares to go to the battlefield." ”
"If we can kill this person here, the Great Khan's work will not be in the grassland," Ashina Suni said with a smile.
Jieli laughed: "I hope it's really him." ”
He now has an advantage in strength, and without knowing the details of the opposite side, he did not rush to send troops, so he watched Yang Ming join forces with Laihu'er.
This is the plain, and most of the people on the opposite side are foot soldiers, and Jieli is not in his eyes, because under his command, there are nearly 10,000 people equipped with refined weapons.
He has a lot of courage now.
The armies of the two sides were arrayed, and it was clear that Yang Ming's side was completely on the defensive, and he knew that he couldn't attack it, so he was waiting for Su Lie's reinforcements.
Su Lie's command was all cavalry, that is, his appearance made Gao Shida not move after two days of fighting, and he had the idea of surrendering.
Killing the rebels who fled in all directions, Su Lie, who received the news, had already rushed straight north.
There is also Yang Yuanqing, originally Yang Yuanqing had a task, but when he knew that the prince would go to Zhuojun in person, for fear that Yang Ming would lose, in his opinion, whether Gao Shida and Ge Qian could be eliminated was a trivial matter, and Yang Ming must not have an accident.
So he disobeyed the order and came to the north.
As soon as they left these two ways, in fact, they had no impact on the overall situation of Xindu, because Gao Shida ran out of food, the army was disheartened, and his subordinates defected seriously, and Dou Jiande abandoned him.
Now that he is constantly defecting, he can't make many waves anymore.
Laihu'er has sent people to build a pontoon bridge behind him for Su Lie's army to cross the river.
"Rong Gong feels that there is a chance of winning this confrontation with the Turks," Yang Ming sat in the Chinese army, smiling and looking at Laihu'er.
Lai Hu'er said lightly: "The prince is in person, so he is naturally 100% sure." ”
"It's not flattering me, is it?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
Lai Hu'er laughed: "The minister will only flatter the prince in private, and will never be in the army." ”
The eldest grandson Laiyu was standing behind Yang Ming at the moment, seeing that his own grandfather was fine, and he was completely relieved.
As for Lai Cheng, who came with Yang Ming, he was standing behind Lai Hu'er, ready to be ordered to fight at any time.
This kid is a fierce man, Xuan Ting's generation, and Rong Liulang, who can fight the most in the family.
