Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of Weinan (5)
Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of Weinan (5)
It turned out that when Gongsun Gong sent out his troops, he was indeed ready to join in the fun and fight Taiping Boxing, as long as he could explain it to Cao Pi. However, the general he sent Gongsun Yan was a greedy and murderous figure. The Wei army sent Sima Wang to the Gongsun Yan camp to counsel the military aircraft and communicate with them. This in itself is a position of coordination and surveillance. Sima Wang is even more of a restless person, anyway, these people are not his, he is not distressed, a few words provoked Gongsun Yan's heart is full of joy, only thinking that the west bank of the Yellow River is full of flowers and flowers, and there are countless beauties everywhere, and he will never be able to get it again when he goes late, so he immediately sent troops to the west. Under the command of Sima Wang, he almost used a small wooden boat to end the water village of the Han army. It's a pity that the Han army is too powerful, and it almost took Gongsun Yan's life with just one blow, and he escaped from the crisis with great difficulty, but he fell into the siege of the Han army, and since then he has been pursued by thousands of miles and suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for Gongsun Gongcai being rewarded by Cao Wei, if it weren't for the Sima Wang family's pivotal role in Cao Wei, Gongsun Yan would have strangled this skinny monkey to death. Sima Wang kept smiling, and he didn't know it, so he only took this army to turn around in the mountains, and somehow, he found a cottage and settled down. Gongsun Yan realized that he was deceived by this Sima Wang at all, and he and Ben used himself to protect him to cross the river to find these people. In order to deal with Ji Han, Sima Wang had bought a lot of bandits in the Yongliang area, and this time it was not long before he gathered tens of thousands of people and horses from dozens of cottages, and turned around to catch Wu Ban off guard, and almost captured Wu Ban alive. Immediately afterwards, he led his army north and contacted the Huns. At this time, the Xiongnu troops, under the leadership of Liu Bao, were slowly marching on the way to the expedition. They were not so much on an expedition as they were herding. They fought with the same mind as Gongsun Gong, and the troops were to be sent out, but they didn't have to do it, so they went out of Daning, and went to Yanchang, Ganquan, Fuxian, Luochuan and Huangling, this way was a big bow back, and the road was almost twice as far as the normal one, from east to north, walking in ravines and valleys, climbing on the Loess Plateau, even if it was slow, there was a pretext. Unexpectedly, they met Sima Wang, froze there, tied him to a chariot, and set up troops to go south.
The Xiongnu and Liaodong were all cavalry, and Sima Wang's bandit subordinates also had some cavalry. With Sima Wang's presence, their speed increased. Although this route is difficult to walk and the road is far away, because it is not the focus of the Han army's defense, and Sima Wang's resourcefulness, the Xiongnu soldiers and the Liaodong soldiers are good at fighting.
Therefore, this team, which was temporarily put together by Sima Wang, with different aspirations, actually attacked directly under Chang'an City. I really don't know whether to say that Sima Wang is smart, or whether to say that he is lucky.
Of course, I don't know the key, but the enemy forces under the city at this time are unquestionable. 30,000 strong enemies attacked outside Chang'an City, which naturally caused turmoil in Chang'an City.
"Your Highness, please order Kong Ming to return to the army quickly!"
"Your Highness, if Chang'an is lost, Ji Han will not be protected. Kong Ming led the army outside, did not build the size of the work for more than a month, wasted money and food, but trapped Chang'an City in danger, to the minister's view, it is good to say that he is an incompetent general, and the evil is that he has unpredictable thoughts. ”
"Your Highness, please quickly order Ma Chao and Kong Ming to return to the army to protect the city, otherwise, Chang'an will be in danger and Ji Han will be in danger!"
"Your Highness......"
If Kong Ming returns to the army and Cao Pi takes the opportunity to attack, can our army resist? If Ma Chao returns to the army, who can stop the edge of the tiger and leopard riding? Are you? Are you? Or do you go? It's really meat eaters. I said with hatred in my heart, but I didn't want to offend these people, so I said warmly: "Everyone, the former enemy's troops must not be moved lightly, otherwise the enemy army will take advantage of the situation to attack, and our army will be in danger." ”
"Your Highness, the former enemy's affairs are no longer possible, the army on the northern front has failed, and the southern front has been defeated by the enemy several times, Kong Ming has no choice but to retreat to Weinan. The land of Weinan, located in the key point, lacks dangers, and the decisive battle with the Wei army here is really unwise, it is better to retreat to Chang'an, relying on the deep pool of the strong city, it is a plan to hold on. ”
"Yes, Your Highness, with the strength of our army, how can we resist Cao Wei's main force in the plains? This is really short, and the attack on the enemy is also long. The enemy army is long in the plains to fight, the cavalry infantry combat armor in the world, our army is the bow and arrow first, long in the mountain battle, the mountain ambush, the foot of the mountain to hide soldiers, the valley to intercept, the best policy. Kong Ming did this, but he really didn't know how to fight. And what do you think about leading out the army, trapping Chang'an City in danger, trapping Your Majesty and the prince in danger, and trapping hundreds of officials in danger? ”
"That's an exaggeration." Sure enough, I remembered Kong Ming's words, he was really an unpredictable prophet. At the moment, he said slowly, "The prime minister is dedicated to the country, if you know that someone is talking about him like this, wouldn't it be chilling?" In addition, Chang'an City is strong and deep, although there are few soldiers and horses, but there are hundreds of officials, there are ten thousand people, why I can still reach tens of thousands of enemy soldiers with a quail city, not to mention relying on Chang'an at this time, don't say that the enemy army is only 30,000, that is, 300,000, what can I do? Or do you not have faith in me? Forget it, I know that everyone is dedicated to the public, Ji Han Jiangshan, the prime minister can't provoke it alone, and we all have to work together. Although the prime minister has soldiers, he can't move, and the situation in Chang'an can't be reported to the prime minister, so we can solve it ourselves. As long as he can defeat Cao Wei's main force, the danger of Chang'an will be solved, and if the prime minister is defeated, we will all be slaves of the country. ”
I stood up: "Herald! Officials and people, large and small, each in their own position, all the ministers' generals, and all the yamen's servants were all trained in a centralized manner to prepare for the enemy. Shang Shu ordered Lord Liu, you are responsible for managing hundreds of officials, centralizing office, and strengthening protection. Lord Yushi Li, you and I are personally responsible for guarding the city. ”
Hundreds of officials stood up one after another. I sighed in my heart, no matter how clever Kong Ming is, he can't imagine that such an enemy army will suddenly appear at this time. He asked me to guard the Imperial City, which was to tell me that there was no peace in the city and that I should watch out for the Assassins. But how can I not go out at this time, how can I not go to the city? Forget it, it's a spelling anyway, he fights on the front line, I fight in the rear, and if I win, I don't need to say anything, and if I lose, I don't have to say anything.
The crossbow has been fired, and it is difficult to turn back. In the face of a crisis, frustration and chagrin have no effect, only to face it and face it is the only way out. At this time, I am no longer the boy who has just been in battle in Quail City, and the sudden attack of the enemy will only arouse my infinite battle intent, but will no longer make me tremble.
Don't worry, my good prime minister, as long as you are against Cao Pi, I won't let you be distracted by the rear!
Three hundred Praetorian Guards followed me and ascended to the northern city of Chang'an. Chang'an City was built on the basis of Qin Xianyang, and its scale is rare in the world. The east wall is about 5,940 meters long, the north wall is about 5,950 meters long, the south wall is 6,250 meters long, and the west wall is 4,550 meters long and has a circumference of about 25 kilometers. After Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, the economy had not yet recovered, and the financial resources were insufficient, so he could not afford to build the walls of Chang'an City immediately, and it was not until his son Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, that he began to plan for construction. In the third year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (192 BC), Emperor Hui levied 146,000 people in the Chang'an area and built the north city wall in one month. In June of the same year, another 20,000 people were recruited from all over the country to build the wall for a long time, and it took five years to complete the construction of the eastern, western and southern walls. The Chang'an city wall built by Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty is all built with loess plate, with excellent soil quality, fine workmanship and exceptional solidity. Because the palace was built first and then the castle, the city wall changed according to the location of the palace building and the natural topography of Ryushouhara, so the city wall became an irregular square. The east wall is straighter, the south, north and west three city walls are curved, the north city is bent along the Wei River like the Big Dipper, and the direction of the south city wall is like the South Dipper, so people called Chang'an City "Doucheng" at that time.
I love the name Doucheng, I feel like it's my city. I feel that I am destined to do something great in this city, and I am destined to be famous for eternity.
I thought that in fact, the decisive battle with Cao Wei should be here, not in Weinan, where there is no danger to defend. But Kong Ming didn't say the reason, and I didn't ask. Thinking about it, the advantage of being in Weinan is that first, it can disperse the enemy's forces, and the enemy's goal is Chang'an, and if they converge in Chang'an, Weinan will not be all the people, and second, the enemy will go as little as possible into the hinterland of Jihan, and there will be less damage and influence on Jihan's economy.
Although the current Chang'an is no longer the original Chang'an, its solidity is still not something that tens of thousands of people can easily attack. I am not the same Liu Adou as I used to be, as soon as I heard that thousands of enemy troops broke out of Chengdu, I immediately opened the door and surrendered.
Or, the enemy's surprise surprise attack, causing chaos in the rear of our army, and the sergeants in the front to collect their troops and return to defense, so that Cao Pi has a chance to take advantage of it, is the intention of this enemy army?
I looked across the Wei River and looked at Hebei. Very easily, I saw Liu Bao's flag, which made me a little annoyed. These Huns have no faith at all, and when they saw that I was lonely, they came to rob by fire, which was really annoying. The ones around him should be from Liaodong, tall and tall, with the word "Gongsun" written on the flag, thinking that they are from the Gongsun clan. Although the Gongsun family is powerful and has many famous generals, they have always been cronyistic, and with their minds, they will never be able to embrace the world. Then, I saw the figure of Ah Wang under the flag gate. As soon as I saw him, I was so angry that I knew I had to do my best.
I held the female wall in my hand and laughed loudly: "Ah Wang, I miss it very much after a few months, I can't imagine that you and I will meet again today, it is really fateful." I just don't know what gifts I brought this time, are these Huns and Liaodong people? ”
Sima Wang screamed: "Liu Adou, the humiliation of the day before yesterday will not be forgotten in the future." The love of childhood makes you no longer need to mention it. Now the commander of the male soldiers, come to take Chang'an, the horsewhip is waving, the jade is burning, you don't surrender quickly, when will you wait? ”
I laughed: "Ah Wang, Ah Wang, is it up to you, just you?" Ah Wang, it's not that I look down on you, how are you compared to the world-famous Meng Jian and the domineering Yan Yan? What's more, the Liaodong Xiongjun and the Hun Iron Cavalry have always been rampant in the world, how can they be sent by you? ”
Sima Wang laughed and said, "You don't have to provoke. I never wanted to control the armies, we came for profit, and the goal was the world of flowers in Chang'an City, and we would never be distracted until we defeated you. What's more, in your Chang'an City, I have already ambushed tens of thousands of elite soldiers to cut the rope for me. Liu Adou, look at your back, is Chang'an City still in your hands? ”
With Sima Wang's words, he slashed behind him, and when he turned back, the city was already in chaos, the fire was rising, some people were shouting and some were screaming, and the streets were like ant porridge.
On the front, Sima Wang had already taken advantage of the chaos and led the army to attack.
