Shortly after Li Tai led his troops to capture Lingzhou City, Jihu troops led by Han Guo finally captured Liubi City.
Although the fighting power of Jihu's troops was mediocre, there were too many of them. Coupled with their hatred for the Eastern Wei Dynasty and their desire for supplies, they had gathered together, which had put great pressure on the defenders of Liubi City.
Before Li Tai's troops arrived, a small group of Jihu who bypassed Liubi City's defense line and infiltrated into the country also caused great damage to the order within the territory, making it impossible for Liubi City to mobilize personnel within the territory flexibly and effectively.
Amid internal and external troubles, the fall of Lingzhou City became the straw that broke the camel's back. The will of the defenders in the city instantly collapsed, making it difficult to defend the city, allowing the Jihu troops who seized the opportunity to rush into the city.
"The general is really ashamed. He led a heavy army to the south, but couldn't capture the enemy city for a long time. He still had to rely on Kaifu to attack from behind..."
Outside Liubi City, Han Guo greeted Li Tai with a shy look on his face, and when he opened his mouth, he admitted that he had been disadvantaged in the battle.
Li Tai did not blame Han Guo for this. This group of troops was a feint attack in order to attract reinforcements from Fenzhou and Yubi front lines so that they could not go to reinforce Jinyang in time so that they could cause trouble for themselves.
Han Guo finally succeeded in attracting Fenzhou's people. As for the jade, Gao Huan paid little attention to it. Liu Feng, who was finally sent back, was another fanatical convert and walked north without entering.
, if he had been slower, he might not have been able to hit the trap and ambush that Li Tai had just laid out so accurately.
When he saw that Li Tai's troops were several times stronger than when they left Zuo Guocheng, Han Guo couldn't help but be more surprised: "I think I have gained a lot from this trip to Kaifu? I don't know whether the attack on Jinyang was successful?"
When Li Tai heard this, he laughed smugly. You town soldiers were really bullied by Gao Huan. My team has circled the Bafu in Jinyang, and now we are standing in front of you.
, is this all your imagination?
If he were to tell this series of glorious deeds from his own mouth, it would not be reserved enough. Even if he was just telling the truth, it would sound a bit boastful. Other generals came forward, and this group went through various detailed experiences.
Tell Han Guo.
After hearing this, Han Guo's eyes widened in disbelief. After a while, she clasped her fists towards Li Tai and said with emotion: "Since the unification, although everyone has been united and dedicated their lives, the thieves' power has been too great."
It is difficult to control the rampant situation. It is already difficult to protect oneself, but it is even more difficult to make progress. There are really only those who can make great achievements such as opening a mansion! I am lucky enough to be with you in the end. Although I have not been deeply involved in it, I feel deeply honored.
I am afraid that other than this, my life’s deeds are nothing to boast about!”
Hearing Han Guo's high praise for this achievement, Li Tai also laughed and said with a modest smile: "With such a great achievement, how can success or failure depend on one person? Everything he does has indelible merit. General Han commanded the armed forces of the Hu tribe.
During the battle, you can draw out the enemy forces for me, and the same goes for you!"
When Han Guo heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he hurriedly and respectfully invited Li Tai into the city to rest and discuss matters. However, when he walked to the city gate, the various noises coming from the city made him confused again.
Extremely embarrassed.
Li Tai stood at the city gate and could see various figures swaying and running around in the city. It looked like a fierce street fight was going on, but in fact, he knew in his heart that these were all Jihu soldiers who had had fun.
Li Tai knew very well the character of these Jihu soldiers who had not been systematically reorganized and trained. He could also be said to have made his fortune by fighting against Jihu. As long as these guys know how to restrain themselves, the huge Shaanxi
The western region of Northern Shanxi is not known as a barren land.
In the past few years, they have been running around like rats on the street. Now they have finally gathered a considerable force and defeated the strong city of Liubi City in one fell swoop. How about looting and looting to their heart's content!
During the previous attack on Wutu City, these Jihu tribes rushed into the city, and in the end, only an empty city was left in Li Tai's hands. Looking at the current situation of Liubi City, it is inevitable that this will be the case.
Li Tai didn't care too much about this. He had gained enough from his trip, and he should give these Jihu soldiers a little sweetness.
Seeing that the sacking of the city would not end in a short time, Li Tai ordered his troops to station outside Liubi City first, and summoned Liu Aqi into the camp, and married Liu Kuzhen to Yunyang Gu Jihu.
He also briefly described the situation of those who were still stranded outside the Great Wall in Beishan, and asked them about the follow-up plans of these Jihu people.
Li Tai previously promised to send the Lishihu in Suizhou back to their hometown and help them establish themselves. So far, it can be said that he has exceeded his promise. As for how these Lishihu should continue to develop in the future, he has already
I don’t have the energy and I’m too lazy to ask.
As long as these Jihu can ensure that they are enemies of the Eastern Wei regime in the general direction, as his vassals on the east bank of the Yellow River, he does not need to pay attention to the specific tribal management and development, and only provides some personnel and material assistance when necessary. Of course, the amount of assistance
It also depends on whether these Jihu are effective or not.
Even though he already has some capital now, he will not waste it by giving away money to help worthless idlers.
Liu Aqi first thanked Li Tai profusely, but when it came to what to do next, he himself had no idea: "Thanks to the Lord's blessing, the forces have reunited, but after all, they are not the old people.
These soldiers each have their own people, and they can stick together when they are in poverty, but they will disperse if the situation improves slightly. The slaves are just a small chieftain, and do not have the prestige of the old Zuoxian King and the young master. The Lord will
All the tribes were handed over to slaves, lest they would not obey my orders..."
"In this case, there is no need to worry about governing, just let it be indulged in this village."
After listening to Liu Aqi's complaint, Li Tai added: "Our troops are in Jinyang, and Fenzhou has suffered heavy losses to the east bandits' defenses one after another. He Liuhun's troops must be returning soon. Their efforts are in vain, and there is great disturbance in the rear.
It is bound to anger the dissidents within the territory. Those who are still stranded in the territory will have difficulty escaping.
After my subordinates leave here, you can summon a group of friendly tribesmen to return to Lishi and hibernate as soon as possible. Don’t be greedy and hold on, I will leave enough supplies for you in Lishi to survive the winter."
After hearing this, Liu Aqi nodded in agreement and repeatedly promised to complete the task successfully.
Everything is over here, and the escape route has been opened. If you continue to linger, it will become pure excitement.
So Li Tai began to arrange for the evacuation in batches. First, Zhu Meng led a part of the combatants to escort various supplies and the old and weak among the Mangshan prisoners of war across the Huangshan Mountains and back to the Lishi area. He himself led the remaining troops.
Behind this hall.
While Li Tai's troops were evacuating in batches, the Lishi tribesmen swarmed out along Liubi City as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and soon penetrated into all parts of Fenzhou, completely without restraint and control.
There was no plan or goal at all, and locusts were swarming up and down the Fen River Valley.
Looking at their active appearance, Li Tai estimated that if he tried to stop them, these Ji Hus might even try to kill him, so he followed suit. With the existence of these Ji Hus, even if Gao Huan wanted to retaliate after his return, he would not be able to do it.
It is impossible for it to spread to northern Shaanxi immediately.
After four or five days of this, the troops in front of them completely passed Huangshu Ridge and arrived at Lishi. After Li Tai heard the news, he stopped staying and led the troops behind him to set off on the road. After arriving at Lishi, he did not stop.
Instead of staying, he continued to command his troops, and finally returned to Wutu City in ten days.
Wutu City is very close to northern Shaanxi. Even if the Eastern Wei army catches up, it will be difficult to stop Li Tai's troops from crossing the river and returning to Suizhou. They can rest here for a while.
When Li Tai arrived at Wutu City, feedback came from other people one after another. Li Yunxin's previous envoy sent a message that he had led his troops back to the outside of the Beishan Great Wall to carry out harassment, and agreed not to return to Suizhou until the twelfth lunar month.
The front part of the troops led by Liang Shiyan who had withdrawn through Xishan had also arrived at Zuoguocheng. Li Tai was most concerned about this part because the most important personnel gains from Jinyang's trip were along this route, so he immediately sent troops there.
Respond.
He stayed behind in Wutu City, arranging his troops to cross the river in batches to return to the west, while summarizing the personnel gains from this trip.
Putting aside the achievement of various strategic goals, the biggest gains in terms of personnel were naturally those Mangshan prisoners of war who were rescued. In addition to those who died of injuries and illnesses on the way and those who died in battle, there were five more who finally arrived in Utu City.
Thousands of people.
In order to appease the frightened emotions of these prisoners of war who were surviving the disaster, Li Tai arranged for these troops to return to Suizhou first so that they could feel at ease as soon as possible.
In addition, more than 3,000 prisoners were obtained from several city defenses in Fenzhou. This was because Li Tai did not order his troops to seriously collect the prisoners and gathered them conveniently. After all, they were in enemy territory. If they gathered together,
With tens of thousands of captives, it is difficult to control and manage, and the target is also too large to advance or retreat.
These more than 3,000 prisoners were all in their prime, with full strength. Li Tai did not treat them harshly during the journey. After all, the materials collected in Lingzhou City and other places were not small, so their emotions and attitudes were stable and obedient, and they were sent to Heilongjiang.
Once the water defense city is settled, it will soon be put into production next year.
Of course, the most important thing is the craftsman palace slaves captured from Jinyang Palace. Although some of them were lost on the way due to the winding and rugged roads in the Western Mountains, there are still more than 1,500 of them. As for the key points of Li Tai's order
None of the skilled craftsmen he cared for was lost.
In addition to these people, other materials seized were also very impressive. In addition to the rare items in Jinyang Palace, the years of savings of Cao Ni and Liu Feng in Lingzhou City were also completely packed away by Li Tai. Compared with Jinyang
The harvest in the palace is no less than generous.
However, there are many kinds of these materials, and it is difficult to make an accurate calculation. If it is a rough estimate, even if it does not reach one hundred men of Gao Aocao, there will always be thirty or fifty.
Of course, Li Tai would not sell a considerable part of the harvest at all. The weaponry such as fine armor and sharp weapons would of course be distributed to his cronies to increase their combat effectiveness.
Li Tai did not intend to submit much of these personnel gains to the Taiwan government. After all, his actions this time were not explicitly ordered by the Taiwan government. They were discussed and planned by his own generals and acted upon by his subordinates and the masses.
The main force was implemented, but the Tai government almost did not provide any effective personnel assistance from the beginning to the end.
The support from the Tai government was not much, but the harvest was huge. They killed the traitor Yan Zi as a warning, broke into Jinyang Palace and looted it, completely disrupting the situation in Jinyang, and killed Liu Feng, the old enemy of the Western Wei Dynasty.
, destroying Fenzhou’s defense against Hu and causing disaster when Jihu enters the country, etc., not to mention having a former queen like Xiaoer Zhu.
With all this going on, who wants to argue with Li Tai about the proportion of supplies seized during this trip, not even Daxingtai!
Although I have offended Big Brother, I have achieved such glorious military exploits. If you, you stinky black otter, continue to blindly extort my loot from me, I will directly join my father-in-law to completely surrender to the emperor and create a new alliance. Just ask
Are you dumbfounded?
Of course, Xinhe Liansheng should try not to do it if he can. He really doesn’t want to wear a helmet every day. After all, the next era is the era of large-scale increment that can really make the cake bigger. If the precious opportunity is wasted on internal consumption, then
But it’s just too fucked up.
Therefore, Li Tai did not intend to eat alone, and silently set a few standards for Yu Wentai, such as making Lu but still keeping your family safe, making Lu and making your house uneasy, and the most luxurious Yang Jian set meal
, how to choose depends on whether Yuwentai knows what he is interested in.
As the last group of people here have arrived at Wutu City, it is announced that Li Tai's trip to Jinyang has finally come to an end.
Using the last bit of time left, Li Tai demolished the Wutu City, and then crossed the river back to Suizhou before the river was completely frozen. Then he started busy taking stock of the harvest and preparing a merit book, waiting for Gao Gao.
After hearing the news of the retreat, Huan went to the court to present victory to welcome the moment of glory that belonged to him and his subordinates.
People's sorrows and joys are not the same. As early as when Li Tai had just led his troops to leave Liubi City and arrived at Lishi, Liu Feng's troops were defeated and some people fled back to the Yubi camp in haste.
Since Liu Feng left the camp in the name of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, when his troops returned, the guards at the camp gate led them directly to the golden tent of Hulu, the great commander of the camp who was on duty today.
The defeated soldiers naturally did not know the interests of the upper-level personnel, so after entering the tent, they kowtowed and told the news of their defeat and the death of their general in battle.
Hu Lujin's expression suddenly changed after hearing this. He had no idea about such a big thing. At this moment, when he heard that Liu Feng, a general, had also died in battle, he felt more and more serious about the situation and immediately asked sharply.
: "Who is returning with you? Who else did you tell about this situation before coming here?"
When he asked, the soldier did not say anything in detail. Hu Lujin ordered the soldier to be kept under the tent first, and also ordered the patrols to pay close attention to similar personnel and arrest them as soon as they were noticed. They were not allowed to interact with the camp.
People come into contact at will.
After explaining this, Hu Lujin had no time to sit in the tent, so he stood up and hurried to the main tent of King Gao's army.
At this time, in the Chinese army's tent, Gao Huan was still wearing his military uniform and light armor. He returned from watching the battle in front of the formation and saw that his siege method of digging tunnels through the foundation of the wall, supporting beams and then setting fire to the city was also quite impressive.
It worked, and several sections of the city wall collapsed, causing great commotion in the city.
However, because Yubi City was too high from the ground, the attacking army did not seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the city, giving the city a chance to repair the gap in the city wall with fences.
Although he did not take the opportunity to expand the victory, it also proved that Yubi City was not indestructible. Therefore, Gao Huan was in a relaxed mood at the moment and was preparing to personally supervise the battle tomorrow and launch a fierce offensive into the city.
It happened that Zu Jue, a subordinate of Cangcao who joined the army, came to see him and offered advice to persuade him to surrender: "Today the city wall collapsed, it can be seen that the people in the city are more frightened. I would like to ask the king to surrender Wei. With the help of the isolated city and the small people, this man has persisted until now. It can be seen that he is not inferior to Wang Sizheng."
A famous general will become even more powerful if he is accepted under the King's command. Moreover, Wei Xiaokuan comes from a wealthy family in Guanxi. If he is willing to join the King, he can also show off the direction of the trend and make the Western bandits jealous and uneasy..."
Gao Huan did not intend to recruit Wei Xiaokuan to surrender at first. After all, the siege method was quite effective. He was worried that if he stopped fighting and surrendered, his morale might be depressed. However, what Zu Jue said was not unreasonable.
His goal for this war is not just a jade city. It would be a gain if the Western bandits' popular trend is broken by surrendering Wei Xiaokuan. The Western bandits are originally sent to Kansai, and if they fall out of harmony with the people on the surface, they will definitely be in a lot of trouble.
.
He was still weighing his own affairs here. The soldiers in front of the tent came to ask Hu Lujin to see him, so they invited the people in. When he saw Hu Lujin walking into the tent, he smiled and said: "Da Sima came just in time. Zu joined the army just for me."
I want to discuss the plan with the Grand Sima to discuss Wei Xiaokuan’s plan to persuade the Western thief to surrender.”
Zu Jue quickly stood up and saluted Hu Lujin, but Hu Lujin just glanced at him and said angrily to King Gao: "This kind of deception is only a cunning man who thinks it is a clever trick. It will take advantage of the thief."
If you are too smart to succeed, you will not be able to use all your tricks. Could it be that your current achievements are based on the tricks of Han children to gain support?"
Hu Lujin's tone was so impolite that Gao Huan immediately seemed a little embarrassed. He pointed at Zu Jue and laughed and cursed: "You idiot slave is not allowed to indulge in stupid tricks again. If you offend my great Sima again, you will be severely punished!
"
After hearing the words, Zu Jue responded with congratulations repeatedly, and then carefully retreated out of the tent, but when he glanced at Hu Lujin from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were full of resentment. These old slaves of the Zhenbing army did not like Gao Wang to be close to them the most.
The ministers in the palace are afraid that they will be alienated by King Gao because of this. They are really mad dogs who are greedy for the Lord's favor!
Hulujin was also very unhappy because King Gao concealed such a major military aircraft and instead remained in the tent with the Han people plotting against his ministers. When Zu Jue withdrew, he quickly kowtowed and said, "I have been disrespectful and offended for a moment, please."
Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Gao Huan repeatedly waved his hands to show that he didn't care, but Hu Lujin's next words made him embarrassed and speechless: "General Liu Fengsheng of the Left Guard left the camp to the north a few days ago. What has the king sent you to do?"
"This, this, Liu Fengsheng is indeed sent abroad for other matters and is not involved in the war here, so he did not report it to the Chief Sima."
Hearing Hu Lujin's somewhat aggressive tone, Gao Huan was also a little displeased. After a moment of silence, he said coldly.
"I am in front of the direct account, and Liu Fengsheng's cronies reported that his troops were ambushed in Zhucheng. The thieves were very powerful. Liu Fengsheng was killed on the spot, and all his troops were defeated!"
Hu Lujin saw that Gao Huan still refused to tell the truth, so he simply told the matter directly.
"What?"
After hearing the words, Gao Huan stood up in shock and lost his composure. His eyes suddenly felt dark. He swayed and took two steps back before he managed to stand still. He said in shock: "What kind of stubborn thief can't even defeat Liu Fengsheng?"
…”
While he was talking, he felt hot flashes in his mouth, but he still didn't take it seriously despite his excitement. Hu Lujin raised his head and saw blood oozing out of King Gao's mouth and nose. He was suddenly shocked and his face changed. He hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help him.
He said in a voice: "Your Majesty, please be patient and don't be impatient. There are ministers waiting for everything... Your Majesty!"
As soon as his arm touched Gao Huan's arm, Gao Huan's originally upright body suddenly fell down softly, his eyes and breathing became messy, and he tightly hooked Hu Lujin's front with his palm, and said in a quick and weak tone: "Steady.
, Stabilize the morale of the army! Call, call Ah Hui quickly... back to Jinyang, back to..."
One big chapter. This volume is over. The next volume of the melee in the Central Plains will begin tomorrow. The various endings and impacts after the Battle of Yubi will also be included in the next volume. A clever approach was taken to deal with the Battle of Yubi.
, but also retreated when faced with difficulties. As a typical example of offensive and defensive warfare in the context of the medieval cold weapon era, I think the protagonists must be Gao Huan and Wei Xiaokuan. Either one would be less exciting. Due to the limited perspective of the online article, the protagonist must be
The focus of the scene, rather than forcefully inserting this scene and using my not-so-smart little brain to arrange and plagiarize the tactical wisdom here to make a blunt marriage, it is better to open up another perspective to describe other content. I wish you all a happy life...
