Chapter 170: Encirclement and Suppression of Li Meng
Because of the lack of relatives, Guo Yan loves warriors the most. There are hundreds of brave warriors under his command, Guo Yan is used as an iron guard, and he personally leads the iron guard to charge into battle, although hundreds of horsemen can break the army formation of 10,000 people, which is the capital of Guo Yan's life.
Li Wei hurriedly grabbed Guo Yan and said with a smile: "Ado, you are drunk, tomorrow you and I will return to Luoyang and send the emperor's hundred officials to the west." The matter of Yingchuan is handled by Xu Rong and Li Meng. You're left alone. ”
Guo Yantong blushed, tilted his body and smiled: "Childish, there are many rats in the Kanto region, although there are 30,000 troops, in my opinion, they are just local chickens and tile dogs, which can be broken with one drum." The two of us can make new achievements, why waste the opportunity to the puppet in Liaodong. ”
Li Wei knew that the Liaodong Pifu mentioned by Guo Yan was referring to Xu Rong, and Xu Rong was just a mere general at the Tongguan Pass, but because he blocked the passage of the army, Dong Xiangguo had no army to rely on, and he almost failed in Luoyang City, and could not smoothly take charge of the government.
Therefore, after Dong Xiangguo took power, he loved Xu Rong who was loyal to his duties. From a guard to the lieutenant, he was promoted two levels to the middle general. is more important than the two of them who have followed Dong Xiangguo for 20 years. Therefore, Xu Rong won the jealousy of the Xiliang generals, and even Guo Yan was no exception.
Li Dao smiled and said: "You and I are Dong Xiangguo's confidants, so why bother with a new general." Besides, it is not easy to talk to the Beihai Xiang, Dong Xiangguo said to my generation, this son is brave and difficult, bold and resourceful. Hundreds of thousands of stupid thieves in Kanto, Xiangguo is the most jealous of this person. This person was the vanguard of the Kwantung Thief Army, and commanded the army to attack the front line of Bishui, Xingyang, and Tiger Prison. ”
"Hua Xiong, who is in charge of this line, is brave and good at fighting, not inferior to you and me, but he lost to him a little, which shows that this son is indeed not easy to deal with. You and I have made great achievements, and we are about to return to Beijing to be reused by Dong Xiangguo, so I will hand it over to Xu Rong to deal with. If Xu Rong is defeated, Dong Xiangguo will naturally hate him deeply and will definitely abandon it. Xu Rong Ruosheng just went to a big enemy for us. When I return to Luoyang and break the Kanto rat generation, it will be easy. ”
Guo Yan smiled and pointed at Li Dao and said: "As far as your childish calculations are too much, the two of us will return to Luoyang first to send the emperor's hundred officials to Chang'an, and then talk about it after the emperor Fu Song has been settled." Look at the ability of this Liaodong horseman, it is enough for Dong Xiangguo's love. ”
"Report, lord, Li Yingbu of the Xiliang Army outside Yingyin City has retreated."
"Report, lord, the Hu Feng Department of the Xiliang Army outside Yingyang City has retreated."
"Report, lord, the Xiliang thieves in Xiangcheng, Kunyang and other seven counties have retreated to Yangzhai to gather."
"Report, lord, Xu Rongbu, who invaded Yuncheng in Runan, also retreated to Yangzhai to wait and see."
He Bai, who had entered Yingyin City and was stationed, frowned when he heard the news, it seems that the Xiliang Army is going to fight a decisive battle with himself in Yangzhai, but they retreated so quickly, wouldn't Li Meng's Xiliang Army, who had invaded Chenliu, become a lone army? What are the tactics of this Xiliang army?
No matter what tactics the Xiliang Army has, it is absolutely true that Li Meng is a lone army. He Bai immediately said decisively: "Order, expand the area of the scout sentinels, and the entire Yingchuan, including the three passes of Dagu, Xuanyuan, and Yique in Yin, Henan, must explore all the movements of the Western Liang army." Another order was issued to Huang Zhong and Fu Xing, depending on the situation, to find an opportunity to exterminate Chen Liu's Li Meng. Another ......"
Chen Liuyu County has already been attacked by Li Meng's department, and Li Meng is counting all kinds of piles of treasures that his soldiers and horses have looted in Chen Liu's various places in Yu County, and his heart is full of joy. After defeating the army of Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, Li Dao and Guo Yan of the seventeen counties of Yingchuan occupied the land of ten counties and plundered, and Xu Rong and Li Meng only shared the land of seven counties to plunder. This is based on the size of the merit made, and Li Meng can't say much.
However, Yingyin, Xu County, Changshe, and Linying still have thousands of soldiers and horses from Yingchuan Taishou Li Min's troops to defend them, and Li Meng is not interested in storming the city defended by the trapped beasts. So he led the troops to gallop for 100 miles and attacked Chenliu County. Several counties in the south of Chenliu were defenseless, and Fugou, Yuan, Yongqiu, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Waihuang, and Kaocheng were all attacked by Li Meng's troops.
Li Meng slaughtered and plundered in these counties, and gained a lot. In just a few days, no less than 70,000 people were slaughtered, and no less than billions of dollars were obtained, and thousands of beautiful girls were plundered for the fornication of the soldiers. It's just a pity that it is rumored that there is a stunning beauty Cai Zhaoji in Yu County, who has moved to Beihai a few months ago. Otherwise. Li Mengdu wanted to rob him as a concubine.
After more than ten days in Chenliu County, Li Meng finally got to report that Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao had the courage to lead the troops from Suozao with the guest army Cao Cao, and Li Meng estimated that the income of the various departments was about the same, so he ordered the whole army to gather in Yuxian County and prepare to evacuate in the direction of Yingchuan.
It was only not long later that Li Meng received thousands of Kwantung soldiers blocking the road in the direction of Fugou County, and Chen Liuxian also raised 20,000 troops from Zhang Miao to the south. Even Tao Qian's department in Suiyang, Liang State, and Liu Pet's department in Chen Guoyangxia's department in the east also had the intention of moving, and Li Meng finally panicked.
Although the Xiliang army that has been armed is fine, its number is small, and 5,000 horsemen are difficult to defeat ten times the Kanto Zhongwa chicken dogs no matter what. Li Meng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the army under his command to load the property and girls into the car, a total of more than 8,000 cars, and more than 8,000 strong prisoners and slaves drove south to Fugou with Li Meng's troops.
As long as he enters Yingchuan County, there are three troops and horses of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Xu Rong to respond, and the Kwantung thieves will not dare to follow up with Yingchuan County no matter what.
Just when Li Meng led the army south and approached Fugou County, an envoy from Xu Rong's department suddenly came in overseas Chinese costumes, "Report, Captain Li, Yingchuan is related to the Northeast Pirate Prime Minister He Bai led an army of 30,000 to invade the Changshe and Yingyin lines. And the second lieutenants Li Dao and Guo Yan have been recalled to Luoyang by Dong Xiangguo one step earlier, and now only the 5,000 soldiers and horses of my lord are left in Yingchuan County. My lord is willing to ask Captain Li to quickly abandon the materials looted by Chen Liu, and the light troops will break through the interception of He Jun, and my lord will go to the Yingyin area to respond. ”
Li Meng was shocked when he heard this, there were still 30,000 troops in front of him to intercept him, and the army was really trapped by dogs when he entered Pingyang. Li Meng looked back at the mighty convoy behind him, and was extremely reluctant in his heart. Coming from the remote land of Xiliang, where has he seen so many possessions and beauties, and these possessions and beauties still belong to him.
If it weren't for the fact that the Kwantung scholars opposed Dong Xiangguo's ruling of the government, how could he get Dong Xiangguo's permission and wantonly plundered places in the Kwantung region. If you abandon these possessions today, you will not have such a huge amount of income in the future. Even if he is willing to give up, he is afraid that the soldiers under his command are not willing to give up.
Li Meng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "You can send back General Xu Zhonglang and say that I already know." If he has a heart, he can go a little further, and I am grateful to Li Meng. ”
When the envoy retreated, Li Meng hurriedly ordered the scouts to scout the front and back, and learned that Zhang Miao's army in the rear was still a day's journey away from the army, and that there were only 5,000 men and horses of the first army camped in the direction of Fugou in front, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Meng led 3,000 people and rode less than 20 miles, and he saw the camp of the 5,000 Northern Navy reported by the scout. Ascending a high slope and looking out, I saw that the camp was blocked between the avenues, with a radius of more than 1,000 steps, spreading to the surrounding fields. Outside the camp, there are countless antlers to resist horses, and there is a wide and deep Ganhao ditch ring, which is no less than a new city in the middle of the avenue.
The protection of this camp is not small, even Li Meng is reluctant to lead his troops to attack on weekdays, let alone in this emergency. If you want to march from the field to avoid this village, but the ditches in the field are crisscrossed, and the cavalry does not matter, but the 8,000 carts are not easy to pass. And he is also afraid of a horizontal blow from the soldiers and horses of this village, and the army has been defeated.
Li Meng secretly said: We still need to try to lure out all the enemy troops in this camp, break it with one blow, and forcibly destroy this village before we can cross it safely.
looked at the general flag of the camp, like a general with a surname. The surname Fu is rumored to be the name of Yin Shang after Fu said, but the descendants are ignorant and call the word Fu the word Fu. It seems that this person is such an ignorant person, and should be easily provoked into battle.
Li Meng immediately shouted, "Where is Sima Song Zhongyi in the front?" Let you come forward and curse the battle, and be sure to scold the enemy general. ”
"The subordinates have orders." Immediately, a military general led a thousand horsemen and horses to the enemy village before scolding the battle. Song Zhongyi's name is Song Guo, which is subordinate to the Fufeng people's clan, with a frivolous and fierce personality, loyalty and righteousness, and is Li Meng's favorite general. It's just that Song Guo fought bravely, but scolding was not good. There are only three words that come and go in the mouth: "puppet, rat, coward".
After seeing it in the camp, he couldn't help but smile at the four generals Che Jing, Du Lei, Chu Hu, and Guan Hai beside him: "Xiliang is a bitter cold place, with more elite soldiers, strong combat power, and no fear of life and death, but this wisdom is far worse than that of the people in the Kwantung region." It's a pity that these tens of thousands of good Xiliang warriors have become the helpers of Dong thieves in the world. I don't know how good it would be if it was given to the Lord. ”
Guan Hai nodded in agreement: "Dong Zhuo is tyrannical by nature, and the Xiliang soldiers under his command are also extremely cruel. Along the way, the fertile fields were barren, the corpses were everywhere, and there were no people for hundreds of miles, which was the crime of the Xiliang army. On the other hand, the lord's temperament is benevolent, righteous and charitable, and the soldiers and horses under his command are also different. Conduct in an orderly manner, be modest, treat others politely, and never riot. Even if there is nothing in the field, the march must follow the road. There is also the tenacious quality of starving to death without looting, and freezing to death without demolishing the house. Even I've been feeling a lot better and calmer lately. Although our army is not as brave as the Xiliang Army, it is extremely tenacious and also fearless of life and death. Du Wei didn't have to envy Dong Zhuo for having these tyrannical Xiliang soldiers. ”
Fu Xing shook his head and smiled: "You don't understand my mind. The lord once said that soldiers are like newborn babies, and they themselves do not have much thought and guilt. Only when the commander of an army gives good training and infuses this army with different qualities of soul can the soldiers grow into a real army. That is, what kind of commander will be the commander and what kind of soldiers can be led in the future. ”
Dong Zhuo poured ferocity, brutality, self-interest and ruthlessness into the Xiliang soldiers, and the Xiliang soldiers became an army with Dong Zhuo's temperament. However, everyone in the world has thoughts, although the Xiliang soldiers are stupid, they are not wooden people, they also have a heart to distinguish between right and wrong, but they are in the army, and they can't help it. If they turn to the lord, the power of the lord will surely make this tyrannical soldier as good as we are. If the lord gets the service of these Xiliang soldiers, it will be much easier to dominate the world in the future. ”
