Chapter 65: A God-given Opportunity to Dispatch Troops to Yizhou

Chu Yun did not discuss with his staff, after learning that Xihe County was taken down by Liu Bi and got a large number of cavalry, he was overjoyed, he ordered Wang Lian to go to Lishi City to control the situation for Xihe County, Mo Han stayed in the eldest son city, and then directly took five thousand iron-blooded horsemen directly to the Caliber, Chu Yun had already sent Zhang Tong over. Chu Yun always wanted to make some trouble for Shi Le, so Zhang Tong was ordered to serve as the commander of the Cauldron Caliber, and after taking control of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the 5th Infantry Brigade, he immediately sent out a large number of detailed work to cooperate with the Supervision Department to investigate the adjacent counties of Guangping, Zhaoguo, and Wei County. Shi Le concentrated his army on the edge of the Youyi Wing, and except for Yecheng, the county seat of Wei County, and Xiangguo, the capital of Wei County, there were no large troops stationed in the county towns of these counties, which gave Chu Yun the prerequisites for his plan.

"Du Du, your intelligence is really unpredictable, now Shi Le almost dominates the Central Plains, at this time you can actually see the shortcomings of their strategy, they think well, they think well, they think that the princes of the world will sit back and watch Wang Jun fail, but unfortunately they are right Liu Kun, right Wuhuan and Xianbei people, but not right Du Du, hehe. After we make a move, Liu Yan and the others will definitely not be able to sit still, and then Yizhou may go down one by one, and Shi Le will stay in Youzhou. Zhang Tong said proudly, and Chu Yun also laughed, but he didn't think that Liu Yan dared to send troops.

When Liu Yan was at his strongest, he could almost be called the lord of Yizhou, but unfortunately, under the double blow of Wang Jun and Shi Le, he was defeated before he could sit firmly. Although it once reoccupied Yecheng, it was also recaptured by Shi Le in a short period of time. Now that he is living in Yanzhou, he is in a panic, and he is still following the orders of his uncle Liu Kun, Liu Kun still retains illusions about Shile, so this time it is likely that Chu Yun is fighting alone.

Zhang Tong has done a very good job during this time, and many times no matter how much detail the Supervision Department has, it can't compare to the professionals who came out of the army. He had a clear picture of all the military deployments in the nearby counties. And he also set up a transport team of people, he felt that Chu Yun would definitely send troops to Yizhou before Chu Yun had a clear order, and he would do the same as Chu Yun did in Sili Prefecture, emptying everything, and now he has formed a transport team composed of hundreds of ox carts and hundreds of carriages and thousands of people, which greatly saves Chu Yun's time.

Moreover, he also sent people to lurk in several cities to stand by, once there is a fierce resistance, then he can start these meticulous works, create chaos in the city, and even open the city gates to welcome Chu Yun. Moreover, in the name of the capital, he quietly mobilized tens of thousands of loads of military rations in the cauldron as reserves. I have to say that although Zhang Tong is not good at internal affairs, he has unique views on military affairs, and Chu Yun's choice is right.

In March of the second year of Jianxing, Shile's army was stationed in Yishui, which was in Youzhou, very close to Jicheng, Wang Jun's superintendent Sun Wei quickly sent someone to tell Wang Jun that he would command the army to block Shile, and You Tong stopped this action. Wang Jun's generals and generals said: "The Hu people are greedy and untrustworthy, there must be tricks, please attack Shile." ”

Wang Jun is still obsessed, he was blinded by Shi Le's flattery, and was confused by the ambition of the emperor, he thought that Shi Le came to submit to himself, he felt that Shi Le's persuasion was the best time for him to take the opportunity to become the emperor, so he was angry and said: "Shi Gong is coming, it is to respect and support me, there are people who dare to say that attack, kill!" No one dared to say any more. Wang Jun arranged a banquet to prepare for the reception of Shi Le, and there was no doubt about him.

And before that, Wang Jun offended the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people, they will not save each other, only Liu Kun may have a change, so Shi Le sent someone to Liu Kun to send a letter, counting his sins, claiming that he wanted to surrender to the imperial court, hoping to attack Youzhou and crusade against Wang Jun to atone for his crimes. Liu Kun was overjoyed, he felt that if Shi Le and Wang Jun competed, the plan of the imperial court would not be disturbed, he thought that the two tigers would fight for a long time, and he would never think that Wang Jun's defeat would be fast, which was beyond his expectations. He spread Shi Le's letter to himself all over the world, wanting to limit Shi Le's repentance, and ordered his nephew Liu Yan not to attack Shi Le, so as to prevent Shi Le's excuse to repent. After doing these things, he waited for the arrival of May, and the court agreed to attack on three sides on May 1 to completely destroy the Huns.

Chu Yun didn't expect Wang Jun to be defeated so quickly, on the third day of the third month of March, Shi Le went to Jicheng in the morning and shouted to the guards to open the door. After opening the door, Shile suspected that there was an ambush army, so he drove thousands of cattle and sheep into the city, claiming to be a gift to Wang Jun, but in fact wanted to block the streets and alleys with cattle and sheep. Wang Jun was a little frightened and restless. After Shile entered the city, the soldiers plundered, and the officials around Wang Jun asked for instructions to defend Shile, but Wang Jun did not allow it. Shile ascended to the atrium, and Wang Jun walked out of the hall, and Shile's men seized him. Shi Le summoned Wang Jun's wife, sat side by side with her, and stood in front with Wang Jun. Wang Jun knew that he had been fooled, but he still had backbone, Wang Jun scolded sharply: "Hu Nu is teasing you Lao Tzu, why are you so vicious and rebellious?"

Shi Le glanced at Wang Jun with disdain and said: "You are higher than all the ministers, you have a powerful army, but you sit back and watch the court overturn, and you don't go to the rescue, and you still want to respect yourself as the Son of Heaven, isn't it a vicious rebellion? After Shi Le insulted Wang Jun, he sent his general Wang Luosheng to escort Wang Jun to Xiangguo with 500 cavalry, while he slaughtered in Jicheng, slaughtering tens of thousands of Wang Jun's henchmen, and Wang Jun's generals bribed Shi Le's men to survive.

Chu Yun was already ready to send an arrow, Chu Yun ordered Liu Bi to personally command 5,000 cavalry to return to Shangdang County, while Fang Dashan left 3,000 cavalry to cooperate with Fang Ai to garrison Lishi City, waiting for Wang Lian's arrival. On the day before the second Shile attacked Jicheng in the first month of March, Chu Yun personally commanded 7,000 cavalry soldiers out of Shangdang County to kill Guangping County, and Zhang Tong followed with 5,000 infantry and 3,000 people, and the 10,000 army suddenly killed, disrupting Shile's plan and setting off a monstrous wave in the whole world.

Chu Yun was very well prepared for the preliminary work, he broke several cities in a row, only to be stopped in Wu'an, stationed in Wu'an is Shi Le's general Hu Yan Mo, this person is a Xiongnu noble, but unfortunately in the Cao Wei period, Cao Cao defeated the Southern Xiongnu, Hu Yan Mo's ancestors declined, so it became a slave, followed Shi Le in the early years, became one of the famous Shi Le eighteen horsemen, but unfortunately this person can be mediocre, brave and ruthless, and unify the army in all directions, so Shi Le remembered the old friend to give him a gift of the captive guard, and let him guard the south gate of Xiangguo Wu'an. Wu'an is adjacent to Zhangshui in the north, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Shi Le thinks that no one can attack here, so it can be regarded as a good deal for an old friend, but no one expected that Chu Yun, a county guard of Shangdang County, would dare to touch the tiger's buttocks.

When Huyan Mo heard that Chu Yun was coming, Hu Yanmo, who was in his fifties, was furious, he hated the Han people, and despised the Han people, his old boss Shi Le continued to succeed, although he did not have anything to do with Huyan Mo, but he often thought he was happy. His old friends such as Kong Chang, Kui'an, Zhixiong and others have long been in important positions, commanding thousands of troops, and he is older than them, but he only got a six-rank petty official, Hu Yanmo has long been angry with himself, so after the two thousand people of the second cavalry brigade of the front Lu Zhong appeared in his sight, Hu Yanmo directly led more than 1,000 cavalry and more than 3,000 infantry out of the city to confront Lu Zhong.

Hu Yan Mo held a big knife and came to the front of the battle regardless of his fifties to call the battle, Lu Zhong was furious, he rode directly and killed the past, two people with a knife and a gun, the battle lasted for twenty rounds, although Hu Yan Mo was short-tempered and mediocre, but his skills were really extraordinary, Lu Zhong was not an opponent, he returned to the horse and left, Hu Yan Mo did not spare the big knife and chased over, Shi Le's morale was greatly boosted, and he hurriedly followed Hu Yan Mo to cover up and kill.

The 3rd Cavalry Brigade is a team with many new recruits and few veterans who have not experienced the test of a major war, so when they saw the defeat of the brigade commander Lu Zhong, the anger of the people was greatly discouraged. Lu Zhong commanded again and again, but he couldn't stop the defeat like a mountain, but the 3rd Cavalry Brigade did not suffer much loss, and Lu Zhong saw that the other party was vigorous, and immediately ordered a retreat.

Hu Yanmo went up again, seeing that the other party was defeated, he chased after him relentlessly, he did not find that the enemy was defeated and not chaotic, and there were only dozens of dead and wounded, and there were no injuries at all.

Lu Zhong was anxious and angry, if his subordinates were veterans like the Iron and Blood Cavalry, he would never be defeated. Seeing Huyan Mo Yaowu chasing and killing his subordinates, Lu Zhong was even more annoyed.

"Turn around and get ready to kill back. Lu Zhong stopped his horse, but at this time his deputy brigade commander hurriedly stopped, the cavalry needed impact to exert its power, but Huyanmo chased so closely, as soon as they stopped, Huyanmo's cavalry was estimated to be able to break up their formation, and then it would be a fiasco, Lu Zhong also reacted, he spat heavily, and then retreated with his head stuffed, he followed Chu Yun invincible, but he didn't expect to change it to himself, the first battle was a fiasco, he felt very bad.

Chu Yun and Lu Zhong's forward brigade were only more than twenty miles, they were hurrying with their heads bored, scouting fast horses, Lu Zhong's army was defeated and retreating in their direction, Chu Yun was furious.

"Fool, it's such a waste, listen to my orders, the first and second buildings of the Iron Horse outflank the enemy from the left, the third and fourth buildings surround the enemy from the right, and the rest of the people will kill me head-on, and the scout will tell Lu Zhong that idiot, let him command his men to evacuate from one side, and let him take a good look at how I fight. After Chu Yun finished speaking, the army immediately took action. More than 1,000 people were outflanked from the left side, more than 1,000 people were outflanked from the back road, and Chu Yun personally commanded 3,000 people to kill him from the front.

When Lu Zhong heard Chu Yun's order, his face was full of shame, he immediately passed on Chu Yun's order, Hu Yanmo felt that all these years of resentment were vented in this combat effectiveness, this is what a man should do, he is now thinking about whether to talk to Shi Le, let himself go to the combat troops, and he didn't realize that they had chased for more than ten miles, and the more than 1,000 cavalry behind him had reached the end of the crossbow, and the infantry had long since lost where they fell.

At this time, the people in front of them retreated from the side as if they were being guided, as if they were dodging something, Hu Yanmo hadn't figured out what was going on, the iron-blooded rider had already been killed, the mighty iron-blooded rider was like a rushing torrent, and anything that stood in front of them would be powdered.

Huyanmo was deceived, he thought this was a trap set by the enemy for himself, he turned his horse's head and retreated in a panic, but it was too late, the iron-blooded cavalry surrounded Huyanmo's cavalry, and in just a quarter of an hour, Huyanmo's cavalry was defeated and lost, Huyanmo regretted it, but he was not a person who was willing to grovel to the enemy, he threw the big knife in his hand on the ground, and wanted to pull out the sword at his waist to kill himself. But Chu Yun had already seen this big official wearing bright armor, how could he let him get his wish, Chu Yun shot an arrow, the sword in Hu Yanmo's hand was knocked away, Guo Yong rode a horse and killed it, and with one shot, Hu Yanmo was pulled off the horse, and everyone jumped off the horse together and captured him alive.

At this time, Lu Zhongcai walked over with a face full of shame, and Chu Yun snorted coldly: "There are still thousands of infantry in front, if you can't beat this, then you can go back and have children, my iron-blooded army doesn't need waste." ”

Although Lu Zhong was scolded, his face was full of excitement, he knew that this was Chu Yun giving him credit, so he jumped on his horse, took the third cavalry brigade to kill the horse pistol, and killed the infantry ten miles away.

The infantry of Wu'an City felt very helpless, they also suffered when they met such a commander who jumped in thinking, Huyanmo was very happy, but he did not order the infantry to return to the city, so these infantrymen could only follow the cavalry of the big horses to eat soil, and chased for four or five miles, they had reached the limit, but they still did not receive Huyanmo's order and could only continue to chase.

Just when they couldn't go to the village in front of the village and the store behind them, and their physical strength was exhausted, the three cavalry brigades came over in a mighty way. Fighting cavalry with infantry, even if it wins, it is only a defeat, and it cannot be annihilated at all. But on the other hand, once the cavalry crushed the infantry, it was a massacre.

Lu Zhong chiseled through these thousands of infantry with a charge, three or four thousand people either surrendered or wanted to escape and were killed, in just half an hour, the battle was over, the iron-blooded cavalry surrounded Chu Yun and caught up, he still didn't give Lu Zhong a good look, the combat effectiveness of the third cavalry brigade is said to be very good, even if there are many recruits, but they are all soldiers who have been trained for a long time, I didn't expect them to be defeated by just a thousand people. Lu Zhong, who lost money, is a veteran who has been with him for a long time, and he doesn't know how he fought.

Chu Yun took thousands of captives and killed Wu'an, almost all of Wu'an's soldiers were taken out by Huyanmo, so when the arrival of the iron-blooded army and Huyanmo's capture, the officials in the city immediately opened the city and surrendered, these officials are mostly Han Chinese, who comes with whom, there is no shame at all, although Chu Yun looks down on them very much, but he also knows that he can't kill them, because once the prisoners are killed, the cities behind will definitely not surrender easily, which is contrary to his plan to fight quickly.

Chu Yun endured the nausea, and appointed the former county chief of Wu'an, who was also the patriarch of a local clan in Wu'an, as the county commander, and cooperated with Zhang Tong and the Fifth Brigade in the back to relocate the people, this new county order had no resistance, Chu Yun had to sigh, sometimes these soft-boned people are better used than hard-headed people, which is also a sadness.

Chu Yun had already broken through the three counties, and several counties had been relocated by Shile and many people, which made Chu Yun cheaper, but Chu Yun did not stop, after Zhang Tong and the Fourth Infantry Brigade arrived, Chu Yun immediately continued to march.

Chu Yun ordered the 3rd Cavalry Brigade to march from Wu'an to Handan in the southeast and directly occupy Handan to resist the enemy who might come from Wei County. Ordered Guo Yong to lead 2,000 iron-blooded horsemen to march east along the Zhanghe River. And he led 3,000 men to the north to directly attack Xiangguo, the capital of Shile.

Although Shi Le went north to Youzhou with almost all the army, Xiangguo was his old nest, so he left no less than 5,000 cavalry and thousands of infantry, guarded by Kui'an, one of the generals of his sworn brother Eighteen Cavalry, so Xiangguo is a difficult bone to gnaw, Chu Yun went in person, except for Xiangguo, Shi Le did not have many troops in Guangping, so Chu Yun contained Xiangguo, and let the other two ways sweep Guangping to complete the basic strategic goal.

When the time comes, the hundreds of thousands of people that Shi Lexin has worked hard to migrate will all be swallowed by Chu Yun, and Shi Le's strength will be reduced, and Chu Yun will greatly increase his strength. This is also the reason why Chu Yun would rather disobey the orders of the imperial court and Liu Kun and send troops to Yizhou, Chu Yun has always believed that Shi Le is his biggest opponent, not the Xiongnu Han State that is declining.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Chu Yun commanded an army of 3,000 and went to Xiangguo to kill, at this time the news of the attack on himself by the state army was transmitted to Xiangguo, Kui An immediately called everyone to discuss, the people of the Qiang people did not panic, but they all shouted to go out of the city to fight, at this time the Qiang people were on the eve of the most glorious time in history, coupled with their fierce and aggressive character, so everyone was eager to try. Kui An nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene, but he suppressed everyone's opinions, because he didn't know how many people came from the other party, and the other party's name was Chu Chu, the deputy governor of the prefecture, but this Chu Yun was like popping out of the cracks in the stones, except for the ugly one he led people to kill the Huns last year, the rest didn't know anything. Kui An is worthy of being the prime minister later, his caution made Chu Yun's careful thinking in vain, he originally wanted to be like Wu An, defeat the army of the Qian people, and take the opportunity to seize Xiangguo, a Xiangguo is no worse than the entire Guangping County.

Chu Yun's army of 3,000 was stationed outside the city of Xiangguo, and Kui An ordered the city gate to be closed, and sent several scouts to report to Shile in Youzhou. However, Chu Yun can be regarded as having completed his strategic goal, it is unrealistic for him to want to defeat Xiangguo, but if he can suppress the army of Xiangguo and prevent them from making trouble, then it will be fine. At this time, none of them knew that Shi Le had defeated Wang Jun and taken Youzhou.
