Chapter 344: After all, we still have to rely on strength to speak

PreviousBack to directoryNext
How does it feel to watch your enemy slip away from you?

This feeling was very complicated. At least when Zhang Zhao saw thousands of Fengxiang troops gradually retreating to the mountains in the east under the cover of night, he didn't know what to say.

The strength of the Guiyi Army is still too weak. If we must keep all the Fengxiang Army, I am afraid the price will be very high.

Zhang Zhao looked at the cheering soldiers around him, whether they were warriors like Barbarian Bear or Party Rangers who were being used as targets. Everyone's face showed an expression of being extremely lucky to be alive.

Four hours of tug-of-war has reached their limit.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao understood that eating the four thousand most elite men of Fengxiang Army was already the best result he could achieve. Going too far was not enough. If he continued to be greedy, he would probably suffer backlash.

Zhang Zhao received a letter from Pei Yuan at the end of April, asking him to prepare to enter Guanzhong to quell the rebellion. At the beginning of May, he led more than 6,000 troops, thousands of civilians and six tribes of cavalry to go on the expedition. It has been more than three months since then.

In the past three months, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army followed him for more than 1,500 miles, and they had to walk the same distance to go back, which is 3,000 miles back and forth.

moon.

When the soldiers set off, some of the aunts were pregnant with babies. Maybe they would have given birth now, and those who had not given birth would have given birth when they returned home.

Some of Gaotang's parents were sick when they left, and they didn't know how sick they were? Or even whether they were still there?

Some people had already arranged a marriage when they left. They didn't even remember their mother-in-law's appearance, so they followed Zhang Zhao to Guanzhong.

Some took the money and went back to buy land for their families, while others wanted to go back quickly and marry a beautiful wife.

When some of them left, the sound of Ye Niang crying and shouting that she must come back alive was still vivid in my mind.

Some have made an agreement with their childhood sweethearts to get married when they return home.

Some relatives and friends died in the war, and they were afraid that they would also die in the war, and in the end they were unable to send their ashes and rewards home.

They are all living people, not tireless NPCs who don't need psychological comfort.

Since the war started, the Guiyi Army has set out from Liangzhou and successively surrendered to Dangxiang in Huizhou, Qingzhou, and Yuanzhou.

Then he fought a bloody battle with tens of thousands of rebels, beat Li Congzhao at the foot of Mawei slope, and now he defeated Li Congxia

The horse will not stop and the horse will not spin, but people's thoughts will return!

They want to go home happily with the rewards they have received to share with their wife Ye Niang. The so-called military morale is not good enough to fight. This is probably what it means!

"Surround the Xiongwu Army and don't let them escape! I'm going to ask the court for a reward right away. A big reward must be given to my sons and I must let them return home with a full load!"

Zhang Zhao galloped back and forth on the battlefield, and his personal guards followed him, shouting all over the battlefield.

"Ten thousand victories! Wan Victory for Sikong! Ten thousand victories for the Guiyi Army!'

Sure enough, after Zhang Zhao made the decision to give up, the cheers on the battlefield were louder than ever. They were really happy that they no longer had to fight hard.

Thousands of cavalry roared and chased the powerful army who was left behind by the Wei River before they had time to escape.

The reason why Zhang Zhao pursued the Qinzhou Xiongwu Army instead of mainly pursuing the Fengxiang Army was a matter of careful consideration.

Because Qinzhou (Tianshui) was under the jurisdiction of Longyou Jiedushi during the Tang Dynasty.

Qinzhou and Lanzhou controlled by Zhang Zhao were separated by Weizhou (Longxi) in the Tang Dynasty, so Zhang Zhao and the Guiyi Army naturally regarded it as their own territory.

Moreover, Qinzhou's Xiongwu Army Jiedushi Kang Fu was old and asked several times to return to Kaifeng to retire, but none of the Xiongwu Army could hold the situation in check. This was simply a territory tailor-made for Zhang Zhao!

Even if he defeated Fengxiang's army, he still couldn't take over Fengxiang's territory, but the Qinzhou Xiongwu army's territory could.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao also had some thoughts, and he did not want to let Li Congyan go, both emotionally and rationally.

But now, after several days of fierce fighting, the Guiyi Army is no longer able to fight anymore. However, it might be okay to supervise the troops at the back and escort the 3,500 men of the Xiongwu Army to attack the thousands of frightened birds that Li Congyu took away.

Seeing that he was surrounded, Xiong Sikong panicked and fought with cold weapons, which only affected his spirit.

Although Xiong Sikong is not a soft-footed shrimp, he didn't dare to fight just now. Now that he's discouraged, he won't dare to fight anymore.

Xiong Sikong Jiedu Yanei Mabudu commanded the military army, and he was helpless!

I originally thought that I was following King Li Qi to pinch the weak persimmon, but I never expected that it turned out to be a fierce battle that made people feel calf cramps. His military force was not a subordinate of Li Congxia, so it was understandable that he was unwilling to fight such a fierce battle.

The only mistake was that he did not expect the Fengxiang Army to retreat so resolutely and quickly, causing him to be intercepted by the Guiyi Army.

In Chang'an City, Li Congzhao felt like he was struck by five thunders, and he still had to endure Ma Wei and Li Congkan.

But he never expected that in just six days, Ma Wei first defeated Ge Rongshun and then Li Congxia. In six days, he defeated Fengxiang's 20,000-strong army until they had no way out.

We must not let Ma Wei swallow up Feng Xiang's army!

This was the only thought in Ge Rongshun's mind. He was done with chasing the tiger and devouring the wolf. Now as long as he could get Mawei back to Hexi, it would be worth the cost.

At this time, Li Congzhao from Xingping County sent a fast horse to contact An Shenqi.

The Fengxiang Army in Xingping County also showed its last bravery and organized thousands of people to leave the city and rush to Song Zhongpo.

Although the 800 people followed by Huchile and Guo Guangcheng had already exerted 12% of their fighting strength, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too great, and they were still being pushed westwards by Qinzhou.

By the Wei River, the surrounded Song Zhong was considering whether to send someone to ask Zhang Zhang Zhao of the Hexi Army to surrender? Or to break out towards Aowu County? Or... he could simply lead his men and run away with him personally?

But soon, he no longer had to think about it because someone had already made the decision for him.

As soon as the sun set, the Xiongwu Army, who was extremely stressed, broke out in a military riot. It ended with dozens of soldiers shouting that they had been deceived by the Wujun and asking the Wujun to come out and explain.

But fortunately, the tooth soldiers of the military army were still loyal. They went out to suppress them and even killed two soldiers who were shouting.

But unexpectedly, it aroused greater anger. Hundreds of soldiers rushed out, shouting, "Commander, please find another place to eat, and rushed towards the military camp."

What does "find another place to eat" mean? Wu Jun's meaning is very vague. This is a fucking slang, which means to move his head and find another place to go.

As a fifth-generation military leader with rich experience in rebelling against others, Wu Jun also has the same rich experience in how to deal with rebellions from below, that is to run!

As long as you run fast enough and are not caught when the soldiers are in chaos, you will have the capital to move forward and retreat freely later.

Because the rebellious tooth soldiers do not have the ability to rule a place, they have to elect a famous person to stabilize the place in the end. That is how they, the tooth generals, can settle down.

However, Song Zhong, who got on his horse and ran very fast today, was immediately blocked and came back.

He saw hundreds of familiar figures, which were cotton armors unique to the Hexi Army.

Wu Jun instantly understood that it was not Xiong Ge Rong's rebel soldiers who wanted to kill him, but Ma Wei.

That night, Xiong Sikong rebelled and killed more than 20 generals below and below the Wu army in charge of Ma Budu in Jiedu Yanei. The rest of the generals led their troops and surrendered to Mawei.

The next day, Ma Wei regretted that Shandu's personal guards were supervising the battle and ordered Xiongsi's airborne troops to dispatch to end Li Congxia's siege on the mountain from three sides.

It was a pity that the attack lasted only half a day, and Li Congxia and others were already besieged in a temple on the mountain. When it only took one day at most to succeed, Guo Guangcheng personally arrived with one person.

Coming with him was a brave general named An, who was a member of Ge Rongshun's tribe and came to Mawei specifically to intercede.

As a time when warriors were in power, they hated putting everything on the surface, unlike the later literati of the Song and Ming dynasties who kept things under wraps.

Li Congzhao's conditions were simple, but they were enough to make Ge Rong's heart flutter.

General Xiao ran down from his horse and knelt on one knee directly in front of Ma Wei, "The Grand Tutor of the School, the Military Envoy of the Jinchang Army, and the Duke of Yin'an on his way to the capital sent the last general to report to Zhang Zhao.

Although King Li Qi made a big mistake, he is still a king conferred by the emperor and must not harm his life!

The army in Hexi Province had made great achievements in quelling the rebellion, so the Grand Tutor was willing to honor Zhang Zhao as the Duke of the State and grant him the title of Military Envoy of Longyou. In the land of Longyou in Hexi Province, Zhang Zhao would appoint all positions below the governor.

Ma Wei nodded secretly. With a duke and the military governor of Longyou, his large-scale military governor of the Guiyi Army finally took shape.

He appointed the following positions as governor, which was equivalent to denying in disguise that Ma Wei had the same power as Li Congxia in the vassal state.

However, this is not enough. The superficial benefits are not enough. There must be actual benefits!

The general is also very wise. It seems that Li Congzhao had already given instructions when he sent him here.

"As for the reward of the army for quelling the rebellion and the grudges between the Zhang and Li families, Taifu is willing to be the middleman. Let's discuss it separately in Song Zhongyi!"

Songzhong Post City is in Mawei's hands, but Ge Rongshun will definitely not come alone. He must have brought the Jinchang Army and the Zhenguo Army. But choosing Ge Rong Post City is a good thing for Mawei.

After thinking over and over again, Ma Wei finally nodded.

With just a few thousand of his troops, including one-third of the party members, the current treatment is already the best.

Because he could no longer withstand the double attack between the Jinchang Army and the Zhenguo Army. Even the current Fengxiang Army's victory was narrow and narrow, and it was still difficult to swallow.

How could Li Congzhao dare to do this if he had 50,000 troops in hand? In the end, strength will speak for itself in all of this.
