Chapter 55: Wang Kan's Defeat
Wang Kan has really had a headache in the past few days, and the scout battle suddenly became fierce.
Originally, Wang Kan didn't know what was happening, but since the scout war happened, the other party could take advantage, and naturally there would be times when he took advantage of himself.
After capturing one or two scouts, it was easy to know the news of the reinforcements of Liu Cong, the king of Chu, and even the head of Wang Bin, the assassin of Jizhou, was cut off.
After hearing these two news, Wang Kan's head couldn't help but dizzy.
The plan to attack from both sides and send troops together died before it began, and more importantly, Liu Cong, the king of the pseudo-Han and Chu Dynasty, actually came over.
Compared with Shi Le, a guy who seems to be able to be beaten by himself, Liu Cong, a pseudo-man, is completely different.
It was the battle of Changping of the Han and Jin dynasties to defeat Liu Kun and Wang Kuang's allied forces, and then invaded Luoyang several times, and even besieged Luoyang's tiger and wolf generals.
When I was in Luoyang, I saw Liu Cong's bravery, and such an opponent had a headache!
But Wang Kandu hadn't thought about how to solve it, and Pei Xian, who had a long history, said decisively:
"Liu Cong is invincible in the field, I wait for the Yellow River to fight with the first is really a good decision, it is better to retreat across the Yellow River first, and then make plans!"
Wang Kan said that it was impossible to judge whether this matter was true or false, and asked the soldiers to check whether this matter was true or false.
Pei Xian said that Wang Kan was stupid, but in the end, when the coach was Wang Kan, he said that he would take a look.
Then Wang Kan also began to take the initiative to send scouts to investigate, first of all, he found that there were indeed traces of a large number of soldiers and horses coming from Wei County, looking at the dust flying in the sky, not to mention there were thirty or fifty thousand people.
At the same time, in order to let the opposite scouts intentionally see Wang Bin's lime head, Shi Le deliberately made a little flaw so that the scouts could see Wang Bin's head.
When these two pieces of news came back, Wang Kan had a headache.
One night, I was thinking about what I should do next, after all, if Liu Cong came with the main force of the Han army, then if he continued to stay on the other side of the Yellow River, he would definitely die.
Although he has been boasting about 200,000 troops on his side, in fact it is only 40,000 troops.
And most of them are still recruited county soldiers along the way, and the real main force is not even 10,000 people, if you really face Liu Cong's tiger and wolf army, I am afraid that I will have to think about how to die.
Wang Kan was thinking about how to withdraw his troops so that he could successfully retreat across the Yellow River, but Pei Xian integrated the two pieces of news and made a decisive judgment, that is, Liu Cong really sent reinforcements, and Wang Bin was dead.
If you don't want to die, you can only run decisively!
And although Pei Xian is as timid as a mouse and ignores vulgar things, he is highly virtuous and famous, which is very similar to his father Pei Kai.
However, his father has an evaluation based on Fang Yan, which probably means that his father's ability is similar to Wang Yan.
This sentence can be understood as a curse in modern times, no matter what, his father is more or less a moral gentleman, more or less better than Wang Yan.
And Pei Xian is also very self-aware, and even in the case of a crisis, he gave full play to his own potential, and decisively took some of the elites he could master to Huainan.
Because even if Pei Xian uses his toes to judge, he can't beat Liu Cong.
I came to the battlefield to brush up on my military exploits, I heard that anyone in Shile can brush it, and I also came to brush it, but if I really encounter hard stubble, then it depends on Wang Kanyou, I will help you fight in Huainan!
Wang Kan looked at Pei Xian's decisiveness as soon as he said he would go, and he didn't know for a while whether he was sold by Pei Xian, or whether Pei Xian had the demeanor of an ancient famous general when he retreated, and the opportunity was grasped so accurately.
But the only thing Wang Kan knew was that Pei Xian left with this group of elites who came out of the Jin Court, which made his original plan to block the news of Liu Cong's arrival directly bankrupt, and the entire military camp was suddenly panicked.
The original county soldiers didn't know who Liu Cong was, but Pei Xian actually ran away, which made the remaining main force of the Jin army instinctively good teachers, and popularized knowledge for these county soldiers, what is called the first fierce man of the pseudo-Han.
All in all, although the entire military camp was still instinctively maintaining order, the people's hearts were directly dispersed at the moment when Pei Xian decisively fled!
However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the suffering always sought the hardship.
At this moment, the army of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom rushed directly towards their camp like wolves smelling blood.
There is no skill, it is all brute strength, the army under the command of Shi Le directly launched a three-sided attack, almost half an hour, the turbulent army was completely defeated by the other party, and the direct defeat was like a mountain, Wang Kan looked at everything in front of him full of confusion.
"If Pei Xian doesn't run, the morale of the soldiers is not turbulent, and he may not be able to defeat the other party, but there is a way to defend it after all!"
Wang Kan is unwilling, really unwilling, if he does it all over again, he must kill Pei Xian to the sacrificial army!
But now, all Wang Kan could do was fight with the Han army with the sword in his hand, until countless spears stabbed directly into the abdomen.
The general died in a hundred battles, but he could never report to the king again.
"Fight to the death!" Liu Tai looked at Wang Kan's corpse and couldn't help but sigh, "Let's bury him alive!" ”
Liu Tai has more or less respect for this kind of soldiers who fight to the death on the battlefield, and he can understand them.
As long as you are born in a relatively good family in this world, even if you escape back, you will be more or less safe.
After all, because of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the more top-level families are allowed to fail, the higher the cost of failure, so it is quite common for top-level families to either surrender or escape on the battlefield.
But for the generals who climbed up step by step, they lost, and basically had no chance to make a comeback.
So it is more likely to choose to die in battle, using his own death in exchange for Jin Ting's care for his family.
Of course, this kind of thing did not have this kind of consciousness after the Yiguan Nandu.
Because it is really a great chaos in the world, military generals are scarce resources, as long as they have survived the war, even if they lose, people's tolerance for them is very high.
After all, at least he has fought and lost battles, led armies, and eaten experience, who knows if the next one will be worse than this one who defeated the battle.
But now, it can only be said that Wang Kan is at this point in time, if he does not fight to the death and does not retreat, but escapes with his own soldiers, in fact, he wants to save his life for a year and a half, there is no problem.
"In this way, even if the war is resolved, we finally get a respite!" Zhang Bin came to Liu Tai's side and said slowly, "This time I was able to successfully win Wang Kan, it really depends on the general's planning!" ”
"I also heard from General Shile that you have added a lot of plans on the basis of my plan, what a talent!"
Liu Tai looked at Zhang Bin, this kind of person who can further refine his strategy, Liu Tai really appreciates.
But Liu Tai didn't invite him, after all, he was really just Wang Mi's subordinate, and he didn't have any qualifications to open a mansion.
He can train his own soldiers, and Chu Yu can stay by his side as his prisoner.
But what reason can you use if you want to invite Zhang Bin!?
I don't have any reason! Why should people follow you!
Just because you're a traverser? You're the only one who defeated the enemy?
Hehe! This guy doesn't need a general, he needs a monarch!
It's like when you are the most powerless, you meet the person you want to have the most, and Liu Tai can't help it!
"Haha, General Liu Tai thanks to your help in this battle!" Shi Le came over at this moment and said with a smile, "General, what are you going to do with these prisoners next?" ”
"Some of the Qingxu soldiers and prisoners were selected for me, and as for the other prisoners, the general just looked at it!" Liu Tai looked at Shi Le and said with a smile.
Zhang Bin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and then looked at Liu Tai's gaze slightly and became firm.
Because Zhang Bin understands that Liu Tai is not a person from himself in the end, he wants to go back to Qingzhou, and he will not stay in Jizhou.
If Liu Tai is willing to stay in Jizhou and take Jizhou as the foundation, even if Liu Tai looks like he is only fifteen years old now, and he has no descendants, Zhang Bin is willing to gamble.
But since Liu Tai's goal is Qingxu, it is impossible for him to give up his clan and go to Qingzhou.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" When Shile heard this, he was thoughtful, but said, "May I ask in detail?" ”
Liu Taidao: "There's nothing to say, I was driven out of Qingzhou at the beginning, and I have to go back after all."
Not only me, but I think my uncle also has the same mind as me, so with more Qingxu soldiers, I can do more in the future! ”
"I understand, I understand!" Shi Le nodded and sighed, "The world only sees Liu Huben using soldiers like a god, but who sees Liu Huben you put such effort into the subtleties!" ”
As he spoke, snow began to drift in the sky, and Liu Tai stretched out his hand and sighed a little, "It's snowing!" ”
"The snow in the north is very heavy, and it looks like these corpses don't have to be buried hard, this snow is a few months, and it looks like I don't need to worry about the plague!" Shile couldn't help but sigh and said.
"Let's deal with it!" Liu Tai said, "Even if you can't erect a monument for them, at least you can put it into the ground!" ”
Hearing Liu Tai's words, Zhang Bin bowed slightly to Liu Tai and expressed his respect for Liu Tai's move.
"General Liu Tai is so kind!" Shi Le heard Liu Tai's words, but he couldn't help but sigh at Liu Tai.
But looking at Liu Tai's gaze, there was more or less a bit of distance and inferiority.
Because Liu Tai is a Han Chinese, Zhang Bin is a Han Chinese, and the vast majority of people who died are Han people, but he is not, he is not a Hun person, nor a Han person, he is a Qian person!
I can't empathize with Liu Tai!
Liu Tai nodded to Shile and took his leave, and then began to deal with the aftermath of the war.
Mending the knife, digging the pit, burying the burial, under the silence of the heavy snow, the army sang "Zhan Cheng Nan" to the soldiers who died in the battle to send the souls of the dead.
Under the heavy snowfall, Liu Tai and Shi Le's army also collected troops and returned to Yecheng to rest.
And Liu Tai's army that also expanded this time, Xindu's army, Tian Yu's army, and even the soldiers from Qingxu who were selected from Wang Kan's captives, made Liu Tai directly expand to 10,000 this time.
Of course, compared to Liu Tai, Shi Le turned over this time, he is different from Liu Tai, he does not have any requirements for soldiers, as long as he can afford to hold weapons, then he can't wait to pull over and be a soldier for himself.
So it was originally only 8,000 people, but now it has been directly expanded to 25,000 people, and in terms of troops, it is much more than Liu Tai.
At the same time, the two also wrote a battle report to Liu Yuan, and since they had won the battle this time, it didn't matter what the battle report was written.
In fact, the rewards of the two came down quickly.
Because of the failure of the attack on Luoyang and Shi Le's defeat in Feilong Mountain, the morale of the entire Xiongnu and Han States was quite low.
Therefore, this time the reward, Liu Yuan is quite generous, or the Xiongnu Han Kingdom needs such an example.
He awarded Shi Le as the general of Zhendong, the prince of Ji County, and still the governor of the capital and the king of Pingjin.
Of course, Liu Tai's reward was named Marquis Zhu Xu, but Liu Tai's military position was not promoted.
Because Liu Tai's age is too young to be promoted to the military rank, continue to be promoted, do you want to be a twenty-year-old general!
However, fortunately, the Han Dynasty has produced a general who is at least more perverted than the current Liu Tai.
Therefore, Liu Tai is not the so-called inseparable, and he is not afraid that Liu Tai will not fight in the future, and even when he is rewarded, he can still find an example.
That is, not to promote Liu Tai, but to improve the grade of his position, and even expand the real power of his position, making this position a humble but powerful position.
For example, the position of hussar general, at the beginning, he was also a miscellaneous general, but he was forced to become a top military position second only to the rank of general by Huo Quai.
At the same time, because the Xiongnu Han Kingdom has a bit of the Xiongnu character, even if Liu Yuan has been quite sinicized, he also attaches considerable importance to the aspect of military power.
Therefore, Liu Tai is still the general of the tiger ben has not changed, but the official title of the tiger army under Liu Tai is granted, and the general is still authorized to recruit at the discretion, but the direct subordinate soldiers shall not exceed 10,000 people.
Because the Xiongnu are generally limited to 10,000 horsemen, they are limited to 10,000 people when they become Han occupations.
Of course, the Xiongnu and Han States will not send people to investigate, but the amount of crossbow arrows and armor will be given to 10,000 people.
The biggest difference between the Xiongnu Han and the Great Han is that they did not attach much importance to military power.
Or because of the habits of the Huns, the control of military power is not as great as that of the Han Dynasty.
Adhering to the nature of only being strong, coupled with the fact that no matter how Sinicized the Xiongnu were, there were still traces of the tribal system, which made the Huns control the military power, just as ridiculous as the United States controlled the guns.
In other words, limiting the number of Tiger Ben troops is already quite restrictive in Liu Yuan's opinion.
But this is the same as the alien asking you, whether you can do a job that works 40 hours a week, has weekends off, has lunch breaks, has annual leave, has sick leave, and has a working environment with three meals, and can only use average income as a wage.
Therefore, Liu Tai actually feels the same as Wang Mi, feeling that the reward of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom is atmospheric, and it seems that he is quite tempted to work for him.
