Chapter 46: A good fortification tiger prison
Knowing that the imperial court promoted Zhang Yiliang to the general of the Tiger Ben, but only 10,000 cavalry went to the Tiger Prison Pass to fortify, Ethereal decided to go with him to resist the Hun cavalry. Although 500,000 Hun cavalry is a joke, 50,000 or 60,000 is indispensable, although Yiliang has led a thousand people to fight a few beautiful battles, but the battle of more than 10,000 people has never been fought, not to mention that everyone thinks this thing is unreliable, Yiliang himself also thinks it is ridiculous.
He originally wanted to have all the 50,000 people in the Beida Battalion, at least 20,000 cavalry. With 20,000 cavalry, you can go to Xianbei to grab horses, and arm the remaining 30,000 infantry into cavalry step by step. The surrounding Hu people are so rampant, and the Central Plains wants to avoid the destruction of the human life, and training the cavalry to strengthen is the only way out.
Yiliang planted the Huben cavalry on the grass north of the Tiger Pass, and he reorganized the original formation, and reorganized the cavalry according to the establishment of the brigade, regiment, battalion, company and platoon. A thousand of these cavalrymen had gone on an expedition with Zhang Yiliang in Xianbei, and from those 1,000 people, a wave of soldiers with high combat achievements and good understanding were selected to be promoted to lieutenants and served as the commanders of each company.
The team cooperated with the new producer training tactics on the flat grass directly north of Tiger Prison Pass. Yiliang rode a war horse to patrol, and the team was trained with high morale because of the rhythm of the team members who had won the battle.
On the evening of the second day of camping in the new school grounds, the guards came to report that two people claiming to be good friends of Ichirashi had come to visit the camp. When I brought it in, I found out that it was the two masters and apprentices of Ethereal and Guo Xiang. They didn't know Zhang Yiliang, but Zhang Yiliang had seen them once, that is, at the funeral of his master in Langya Sect. At that time, Ikira was wearing the mask of the Leopard Army.
I have long admired the names of the two heroes. Yiliang clenched his fists and said.
Ethereal was wearing a cloud goose fine brocade robe, and Guo Xiang was wearing a dark flower silk pleated satin skirt. The two of them looked plain, very chic, and when they saw Zhang Yiliang greeting him, the two of them only made a salute in return, and sat down behind the table in Zhang Yiliang's tent, and poured tea and drank it themselves.
Yiliang casually pressed the map on the table with a cup, got up and came to Miao Yi and Guo Xiang, and said: The heads of the two are to be taken by the King of the Northern Huns.
How much is the head of our master and apprentice worth? Compared to 10 million taels of gold, our head is not worth mentioning. Ethereal.
No, no. The ethereal hero and the Guo woman dare to stand up and vent their anger for the people of the Central Plains, how can such a valuable spirit be comparable to gold and silver?
We were just passing by here, and my master and I went to assassinate the king of the Northern Huns to see if he dared to covet the Central Plains. Guo Xiang said.
If assassinating a Xiongnu king could solve the problem, I would have sent someone there long ago. Yiliang said: The Huns lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of Hun kings, you have only assassinated the king of Zuoxian for a few days, and the new king of Zuoxian has been appointed, and it is more vicious and more ferocious.
Ethereal asked: According to the general's view, let him be arrogant and domineering, and send dozens of people to the Central Plains to do whatever he wants?
As long as I, the heroes and heroes of the Central Plains, can be as chivalrous and courageous as the Ethereal Heroes and Guo Nuxia, and serve the country and the people, why should I be afraid of the Hu people? Yiliang paced and continued: At present, there is a loyal minister who is in a critical situation because of the Xiongnu incident, but I can't do anything. I want to conspire with the two heroes to save people.
The general said that it didn't matter, as long as Zhongliang could be rescued, our Xiaoxiang faction would definitely go all out. Ethereal.
Zhang Yiliang poured two cups of tea for the two heroes. Asked: Do the two heroes know that the Xiongnu threatened to lead 500,000 cavalry to level the Central Plains, and the court was divided into two factions, the main station and the main peace?
Ethereal said: Naturally, I know that later the imperial court sent two people from the main battle faction to the peace talks, which shows that the imperial court advocates resistance.
The heroes only know one thing, but they don't know the other! A good way: The imperial court sent two main battle factions, Wei Qian Wei and Wang Rong, to negotiate peace, but in fact they were the main peacemakers. Sending Wei Qian to the peace talks was to get rid of Wei Qiang.
Wei Qian is a famous general in our Central Plains, and his loyalty to the imperial court can be learned.
When the water is clear, there is no fish, Lord Wei Qian is upright and loyal, and he has offended many people in the court, especially the ambitious Queen Jia, who has long wanted to get rid of him. A good way.
Is there such a thing?, Ethereal exclaimed.
The Heart of Jia Nanfeng is well known to passers-by...... Kazura said.
Thinking about it, it was a report and a report, and the Sima clan was the imperial power that was taken away from others, and it was only a matter of time before someone took it away. Guo Xiang said.
Is the general trying to save this Lord Wei?
Precisely. Yiliang replied: Wei Qiang's peace talks will inevitably fail, and the day when the Xiongnu soldiers are pointing south is Wei Qiang's death. I hope that the two heroes will save this loyal man. When Jia Nanfeng sent people to kill their clan, he brought some death row prisoners to Wei Mansion, put on the clothes of Wei Qian and his family, preemptively killed these people, and then set a big fire.
Stealing beams for pillars?
Yiliang said: Rescuing Wei Qian's family, letting them stay incognito, and leaving a few loyal and good people for future generations is the only thing my generation can do.
This plan is very good, to rescue Wei Qian's family, but it can be hidden in the Yuelu Mountain of my Xiaoxiang faction, even if she Jia Nanfeng is suspicious, she will definitely not be able to find it. Ethereal.
That bothered the two heroes to take care of their Wei family. Only the three of us know about this matter, whether it is the people of the rivers and lakes, or the people of the court, we must not spread it again. Yiliang advised.
This Wei Qian didn't know how to negotiate with the Huns, but he was afraid that there was already a result. Ethereal.
There is still room for maneuver when others go to talks, but Wei Qian will definitely not be able to negotiate peace talks. There was a war with the Northern Xiongnu. Ichira returned to his desk, continued to look at the map, and said.
I wonder how the general will fight this battle?
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Yiliang said lightly: His Northern Hun cavalry, who can travel long distances to attack our Central Plains, will not exceed 50,000 soldiers and horses. He came with 50,000 cavalry, and my 10,000 tiger cavalry was more than enough to defend against the enemy. Besides, there were originally 5,000 defenders in the Tiger Pass, and if the Hun cavalry dared to attack, they would teach him to come and go.
With the general's words, I will go to Luoyang with peace of mind. When we went back this time, we issued an order to the people of the rivers and lakes, calling on heroes from all walks of life to come to the north to retreat from the enemy. Ethereal.
If there were heroes in the rivers and lakes to help, I would have avoided this catastrophe. Yiliang thanked the Ethereal Hero and Guo Nuxia!
The general was polite, we took our leave, and when we cleaned up the Northern Huns, we will come to the general to drink for three days. Miao and Guo Xiang said goodbye to Yiliang and returned to Luoyang to steal the beam and change the pillar.
The next day, the scout came to report: Wei Qian led the delegation to Mobei, but the king of the Huns refused to see him, and asked to send 10 million taels of gold and 1,000 Han women before negotiating. Wei Qian tied the national letter to the wolf, put the wolf into the court of the Xiongnu king, and left a sentence "Make the wolf country, when the wolf should pass the book". Enraged, the king of the Huns ordered people to hunt down Wei Qiang, who fled to Mo Nan and was rescued by a mysterious team.
Do you know the whereabouts of the mysterious team? Did Lord Wei return to Luoyang safely? Yiliang asked anxiously.
Lord Wei had returned to Luoyang, but Lord Wei refused to reveal the situation of that team. It is said that it was a Xianbei army of several hundred people, and they killed all the 300 Hun cavalry of the Northern Xiongnu who pursued and killed Lord Wei.
A conscience thought that it must have been done by Na Yimo with the tiger and leopard riding women's battalion. This kid is getting bolder and bigger, and he dares to go into battle by himself.
In this way, the Northern Xiongnu must have sent troops, and they should have been on the road at this time. How did the Northern Xiongnu send troops? After such a toss, the Luoyang defenders must have been sent to the table of the Northern Xiongnu king at this time.
Kazura realized that he couldn't wait for the rabbit in the tiger prison. First, this is a fan-shaped place, the Tiger Prison Pass is the meeting point, it is a defensive place, and his location is a few miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which is very unfavorable. If the 50,000 cavalry of the Huns also surrounded themselves in a fan shape, the 10,000 tigers would be annihilated.
Take the initiative to attack, seek opportunities to harass the enemy, draw the enemy, consume the enemy, and destroy the enemy. Yes, it's the only way out.
A good order will be guarded by the tiger and call Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao is a cavalry captain, according to his military rank, he is one level lower than Zhang Yiliang, and it stands to reason that he should obey Zhang Yiliang's command. However, this Lu Jiao is a dumbfounder, only obeying the orders of the commander of the Beida Battalion, and now the Beida Battalion is divided into three, who is the commander, the ghost knows. Where is Lu Jin willing to listen to these newcomers who have been promoted by relatives.
Lu Jiao, who has been in the army for 30 years, has been a lieutenant for 10 years. You rookies, who birds you?
Yiliang came to him, ate good wine and food all night, and told him that if the Huns came to attack the Tiger Pass, the pass should be closed tightly, and only defended but not attacked. This Lu Jiao drank some wine, he didn't know how high the sky was, and said that he mainly looked at his mood when he was fighting, and if he was in a good mood, he judged that the pursuit of the enemy could win, and he would definitely not miss the fighter......
This is the sorrow of the old soldiers. has worked hard at the border for decades, my father doesn't love my mother, and my daughter-in-law has long said goodbye. The promotion and fortune are not as fast as those of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there are not as many opportunities as Beijing officials, and the ceiling for career development is very low. On the other hand, these people believe that their decades of military career are not the same as rookies. The concept is old, and it is extremely difficult to change.
Seeing that Lu Jin was pretentious, Yiliang had no choice but to turn on the flickering mode and said to Lu Jin: General Lu, if the Huns attack this time, you can not go out, only defend and not attack, and keep the tiger prison. After this battle, I proposed to the queen that you be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, how about it?
Really? General Zhang is really willing to say a few kind words for me in front of the queen?
Naturally, General Lu has been on the border for many years, and he should have been promoted to Zhonglang General a long time ago. A good way.
If the Huns come to attack, I will be able to defend the tiger prison, although the brother will do what he wants.
Sending Lu Jiao away, the scout sent the news of the imperial court: the king of the Northern Xiongnu borrowed the road to the Southern Xiongnu to attack the Jin, and the king of the Southern Xiongnu, Li Yuan, sent someone to Beijing to report, saying that he had replied to reject the unreasonable request of the king of the Northern Xiongnu and refused to attack the Jin Dynasty by the Northern Xiongnu through the Southern Xiongnu.
Hearing the news, Zhang Yiliang was very pleased. But when you think about it, it's a huge pit. It is a matter of war, and no news can be simply treated as a piece of news, and it must be thought about three or four times. Let's take a closer look at this message.
This news was sent to Beijing by the king of the Southern Xiongnu to report it. The Southern Xiongnu still recognized themselves as vassal states of the Jin Dynasty, and when he did so, the court wanted to issue him a pennant and a certificate of merit.
Did the envoys of the Southern Xiongnu enter Beijing just to report the news? Yiliang asked the scout.
The scout replied: The Southern Xiongnu asked the imperial court for 100,000 stone of grain, saying that the Southern Xiongnu were plundered by the Xianbei people last year, and more than half of the people of the Southern Xiongnu had no food to cook.
That's it, Liu Yuan, a good chicken thief. Zhang Yiliang said in a low voice.
In addition to the impure motives, the Southern Xiongnu sent people to send this news, which had the meaning of paralyzing the Jin Dynasty. Just look at the words of the Hun envoys. Reject the unreasonable demands of the Northern Xiongnu, and refuse the Northern Xiongnu to attack the Jin Dynasty through the Southern Xiongnu.
A few meanings? A few meanings? Just to tell you, I have rejected their request to borrow the Tao, if he really borrows the Tao, you yourself and him **, and I have nothing to do with half a dime.
You Southern Huns dare to prick wooden needles on horses' hooves, at such an important moment, you are rooted in our eyes, we don't feel strange at all.
Yiliang preliminarily judged that the Northern Xiongnu should attack the Jin Dynasty in the south, which must be one of these routes: the first is the West Road, which takes the Southern Xiongnu, passes through Helan Mountain, jumps in from the Hetao Plain, and strikes Chang'an. The second is the middle road, from the junction of the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei straight south, through Yanmen Pass, Pingyang, breaking the tiger prison, and going straight to Luoyang. The third is the East Road, interspersed in the territory of Xianbei, passing through Wuchao, and then suddenly appearing in Guandu, attacking Luoyang from the east.
The Northern Xiongnu came from the far north of the desert, and if they didn't come, they would definitely be tens of thousands of cavalry, and they were bound to win.
Interspersed in the territory of Xianbei, it is the most impossible one to go south from the eastern front. Tens of thousands of strange soldiers marched in Xianbei, which is unrealistic. Of course, if there was a genius in the Northern Hun army, it would be a different matter. In order to prevent being slapped in the face, Yiliang wrote a letter and asked Xiao Jianli to send the tiger and leopard to ride, and ordered Chun Yujiu to bring the letter to his brother-in-law Ashu, and Ashu blocked the east road.
Yiliang put his bet on the Western Front, Jiayuguan.
