Chapter 43 Rise and Fall in One Fell Swoop
Shi Le received the news earlier than Jin Zhun and ran faster than him.
At noon on the eighth day of the first month of October, his infantry and part of the cavalry ran away and retreated from Chengyang in the direction of Liqiu.
The other part of the cavalry army drove to Jiyin, intending to receive Zhang Yue's retreat.
But halfway through, he encountered a rout that ran back from the Heze area, so he immediately turned around and ran back to Chengyang.
"Shao Xun is here and defeated Zhang Du in Jiyin, and the more than 5,000 people are probably wiped out." When they heard the news from the peach leopard, everyone was a little silent for a while.
"How did he come so fast?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Where did it come from? Where are you going? ”
"It should be the trick of rushing to Gou Xi, gathering a large number of horses and mules, and rushing desperately. I was in the open and the enemy was in the dark, and I suffered a loss all at once. ”
The old god Shile sat on the ground, and did not speak, but listened to the words of the people.
After talking for a while, everyone saw that Shi Le was not matching, and felt bored, so they stopped.
"Finished?" Shile asked, glancing at the crowd.
The crowd held their breath.
"You're done, now it's my turn." Shi Le stood up, smiled first, and said, "What a big deal." ”
Everyone was stunned.
"Most of the losses are just pawns. These soldiers are as many as they want, and they are not worth much. Shi Le said directly: "Compared with the loss of this person, we have gained so many copper coins, silk silks, and utensils, and we still earn money." ”
"Shao Xun is back, and those cities in Yanzhou and Yuzhou will not be easy to fight." Shi Le continued: "I expect that the Governor of Jin will definitely send orders to all the ministries to slowly retreat. ”
The crowd savored these words in silence.
Zhang Yue suffered a loss, but it was because the enemy was dark and I was unprepared.
In the same way, if the rest of the ministries continue to move forward, they will also suffer if they do not do well.
In addition, the three pontoon bridges in Dongwuyang were damaged, and the grain could not be transported across the river for a while, and the morale of the army was inevitably affected.
The above is an analysis on your side.
Judging from the Jin State, Shao Xun has returned, Yuyan Erzhou has the backbone, and the morale of the army and the people has been restored.
Siege, ideally, without a fight, the enemy surrenders.
The second is to take the enemy city lightly, and the losses are slight.
The most uncomfortable thing is to conquer the enemy city at the cost of losing a large number of troops.
As soon as Shao Xun came back, many cities were not so easy to fall, which was something that had to be considered.
Dahu pointed out this point very clearly, and everyone thought that there was nothing wrong with it, and if they continued to fight, it would be completely chicken ribs, and it would be a waste of grain and grass.
"Don't fight, let's go." Shi Le said: "First retreat to Dongping, and then go to Qingzhou." ”
After speaking, as if he remembered something, Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin again and asked, "Mengsun, how is this discussion?" ”
Zhang Bin bowed his hand and said: "The general should be decisive, and he knows the way of using soldiers." There are some complementary strategies on the servant's side, and the general may want to refer to them. ”
"Speak." Shi Le waved his hand and said with a smile.
"The general may send the general to lead the light cavalry forward, no more, two or three thousand cavalry is enough. Carrying more horses, more water, looking for the direction where Shao Xun was, galloping and shooting, attacking everywhere, can cover the retreat of our army. Zhang Bin said.
"Shao Xun knows the location of our army, is it useful to harass him?" Schler asked.
"It can always be delayed." Zhang Bin said: "If the thieves rush in formation, there is no need to engage them, just scatter and leave. I don't want to stop the enemy, I just want to slow down his pace. ”
"Good!" When Shi Le heard this, he did not hesitate to respond, and immediately ordered the three generals, and ordered them to lead a thousand horsemen and go forward to harass them.
Seeing that Shi Le had adopted his opinion, Zhang Bin stopped talking.
Shi Le paced a few steps slowly, and said with emotion: "In the second half of the south, the battle has been fought fiercely, but I don't know how to fight next. Fortunately, Shao Xun didn't have many horsemen, otherwise it would be really difficult to manipulate him. ”
What is Dahan's biggest advantage? There are many horses and cavalry.
As for the infantry, although it has been improving, it really can't.
Except for a small number of infantry soldiers of the Pingyang Forbidden Army, the rest are no match for Shao Thief's famous infantry army.
Just like him, Shile, now claims to have 80,000 infantry, but in fact they are all farmers who have experience in battle.

If you really want to deal with him, you still have to rely on cavalry.
This time going south, in fact, is a successful evasion of reality. I had no choice but to do it myself, and the grain channel was cut off, which hurt morale a little.
How to fight next, it all depends on the king of Hanoi and the central protection army.
******
The enemy's strategic disposition is actually almost known.
Shao Xun took out a map, swiped his fingers around, and said: "Jin Zhun, the enemy's protector army, is in charge of the overall situation, stationed in Gaoping, with 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry troops on hand, which should be relatively scattered, as for where they are scattered, Zhang Yue can't say clearly." ”
"The main forces of Liu Ya and Hu Yanyan plundered Mount Tai, each with thousands of cavalry, one of which was also scattered everywhere and was under the command of Jin Zhun. They had a small number of infantry troops, but they were not very elite, and most of them were forcibly recruited newcomers. ”
"More than 20,000 troops of Zhao Gu went down to Xuzhou and took Pengcheng and Xiapi lightly. Pei Dun surrendered in Huaiyin and was captured by him. The thieves were planning to send troops to the East China Sea and plunder them very frequently. ”
"Cao Wei originally went south to attack Xuzhou, but he was conquered by Jin Zhun on the way, and he came to Gaoping in the west, and the number of his people is unknown."
"That's how the thieves deployed." Shao Xun raised his head, looked at everyone, and said, "Let's take a closer look at it and see how to fight." ”
Man Yu, Qiao Hong, Yin Qi, Beigong Chun, Wang Hu and others came over and had a good discussion.
"I heard that Chen Gong sent elite troops to the east by boat to attack the East Wuyang Ferry, I don't know what is happening now?" Wang Hu asked.
"I don't know." Shao Xun shook his head and told the truth.
"That's not going to be easy." Wang Hu said.
Shao Xun glanced at him.
Wang Hu has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and in his early years, he repeatedly suffered losses because of his straighter temperament and lower emotional intelligence, but now he has changed a little, but he still speaks so directly.
"If you have a strategy, you can come by yourself." Shao Xun said: "I'll wait for a closer look." ”
Wang Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you go straight to Gaoping?" ”
Shao Xun pondered for a moment and asked, "Reason?" ”
Speaking of professional issues, Wang Hu, who was born in a riding class, was in high spirits, his eyes were much brighter, and he only heard him say: "According to what Zhang Yue said, the thief army is only thirty or forty thousand horsemen, but it is spread out in Yan, Henan, and Xu Sanzhou, and Jin Zhun definitely does not have many people on hand. In doing so, they completely deceived Ming Gong that he did not have many cavalry troops, and he was far away in Luoyang, so it was difficult to return to help in a hurry, so he was relieved to boldly divide his troops and plunder. But Ming Gong is back, and it is still coming quickly, and the thief army may not be able to gather his troops so quickly, and they are attacking them together. ”
Shao Xun looked at the map again.
"Ming Gong, fighting fast and slow is the essence of the art of war." Wang Hu said: "In the battle of Heze, a small number of thieves rode away, and most of Shi Le and Jin Zhun already knew that Ming Gong was coming. Jin Zhun will not be able to figure it out, and he is deploying troops and gathering troops. The fighter plane is fleeting, and if you give him a few days, there will be more than enough troops on hand. ”
"What if Jin Zhun runs away?" Man Yu couldn't help but ask.
"If you run, chase it." Wang Hu said as a matter of course: "Even if you chase him to the ends of the earth, you will bite him to death." The vendetta of the steppe tribes, one side was defeated and fled, and the other side pursued for months or a year. ”
"What if Jin Zhun entrenches himself in Gaoping and doesn't leave, so that all the armies move closer to him?" Man Yu asked again.
Wang Hu looked at Man Yu with some unhappiness and said, "There are some things that can be done with fifty percent certainty, so how can there be so much foresight?" If Jin Zhun really dares to use his body as bait and make all the departments move closer to him, we just run, and it is a big deal that he will eat some of his people. How can there be immortals in war? ”
"Wang Xiaoqi is right." Shao Xun patted Man Yu on the shoulder and said, "If there are really tens of thousands of thieves and horsemen surrounding, then give up and retreat westward, and then I will personally break the queen, and there will be nothing to do." ”
"How can you let Ming Gong personally cut off the queen." Man Yu sneered.
Shao Xun looked at the direction of Dongwuyang on the map again, and said, "Furthermore, I believe in Jin Zheng and Wang Qi'er, and I believe in the Silver Spear Army." Maybe they've captured the crossing and destroyed the enemy's pontoon bridge, but I don't know. ”
"This battle can indeed be fought." Shao Xun made a decision in his heart, and after glancing at the crowd, he said: "There are many enemy troops, and our army is small, but the enemy's forces are too scattered, and our army's strength is relatively concentrated. In today's battlefield situation, the two sides are intertwined and entangled with each other, and if they continue to fight like this, it will be a bad battle. I have made up my mind, go straight to Gaoping, and leave tonight. ”
"No." The generals responded one after another.
After the battle was fought at dawn, it was not until noon that people gathered, and it was not until evening that all the supplies were completed.
It's going to strike at night, and it's not breathing.
But as Wang Hu said, the enemy will also adjust and respond. The information obtained from Zhang Yue's mouth, the further back it is pushed, the more inaccurate and outdated it becomes.
In fact, the fighters have appeared, and they are not carelessly given to them by the enemy, but earned through their own efforts.
When leaving Luoyang, did the Xiongnu not set up obstacles?
The cavalry harassed repeatedly, and the mountain road was blocked by a single expedition, and finally was played by Chen Gong, and the battle was cut and delayed, and successfully crossed the Daling Mountain and entered Xingyang.
Hundreds of miles rushed to Jiyin, captured Zhang Yue, and broke thousands of enemies, which greatly surprised the Huns.
Now, there is one last fighter.
This opportunity is not as stable as before, but if it is missed, as Chen Gong said, the next may be a bad battle, and it is a relatively passive bad battle, after all, the enemy army has tens of thousands of cavalry, and grinding can also grind their thousands of cavalry.
Henan Xing and Waste, in one fell swoop, done!
