Gao Fei had been to Jicheng once before and had a good understanding of the structure of the city. He ran at the front of the team with a bloody spear, followed closely by Sun Jian, Zhao Yun and others.
When they arrived near the governor's office in Liangzhou, Gao Fei asked someone to stop, turned to Sun Jian and said: "General Sun, we can't be seen from outside the city now, why don't we rest here. As for the rebels... Baizu
The big insect is dead but not dead. Tens of thousands of rebels rush to the north gate together. Yuan Shu has few soldiers. I'm afraid that it has already been broken through by now. Even if we arrive, we won't get any more credit."
Sun Jian's eyes rolled, thinking that now he has become a polished veteran, and the two wounded soldiers have also returned to the camp. Since Gao Fei doesn't want to fight anymore, how can he kill so many rebels by himself?
, then nodded and said: "Brother Ziyu, what you said makes sense. Let's rest here for a while. Anyway, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong, and Liu Biao's troops will go over to reinforce, so we don't have to worry."
Gao Fei smiled and immediately asked Zhao Yun to order all the soldiers to rest in the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion. He and Sun Jian walked into the lobby of the Governor's Mansion side by side. After everyone rested for a while, Gao Fei estimated the time and continued to lead the people.
Run towards the north gate.
The troops of less than two thousand people followed Gao Fei and soon arrived at the north gate of Jicheng. The inside and outside of the north gate were already in a mess. Corpses were piled on the ground, and there were broken heads everywhere.
, broken limbs, and various weapons were scattered in the blood swamp, and it was actually even more tragic than during the siege.
"Brother Ziyu, it seems the war is over." Sun Jian said softly after seeing this.
Gao Fei nodded and suddenly saw a group of soldiers holding halberds running in from outside the city. Yuan Shu rode on a horse and entered the city gate under the protection of the captain's halberd soldiers. Soon he drove to Gao Fei and
In front of Sun Jian.
Turning over and dismounting, Yuan Shu walked towards Gao Fei and Sun Jian with a face full of joy, clasped his fists and said, "General Gao, General Sun, you two have made a great contribution today and took the lead in attacking this city. It's really amazing."
Sun Jian was very polite to Yuan Shu and immediately said: "I heard that the rebels broke out from here. Is General Yuan okay?"
Yuan Shu turned sideways and showed his left arm. The bandaged left arm was already stained with blood. He smiled slightly and cursed: "Those stupid traitors actually fired cold arrows. Fortunately, I hid quickly.
, otherwise it is not just as simple as the injury to the left arm. Now Han Sui and Bian Zhang have led the remaining army to break through and headed towards Jincheng. Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Zhou Shen and Bao Hong led their troops to pursue. This
Huangfu Song, who suffered a thousand blows, was a cavalry general, and his plan was not thorough at all. I will settle the score with him when I get back!"
Gao Fei heard Yuan Shu's cynical tone, as if he, Yuan Shu, opened the court and would settle accounts with whomever he said. However, in history, Yuan Shu did serve as the emperor for a while, and actually proclaimed himself emperor when he was in Huainan.
, got a national title called Dacheng, this guy who didn’t know the heights of the world, had no strategic vision at all, and instead had everyone around him attack him. In the end, he was ruined and died miserably.
Jicheng was occupied. Huangfu Song led his troops into the city and ordered all ministries to clean up the battlefield and report personnel losses. Gao Fei included more than 700 Feiyu troops who died in the battle. After all, they died for suppressing the rebellion and for the Han Dynasty.
If you work hard, you should get a settling-in allowance.
In the evening, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong and others returned one after another. The 100,000 elite counter-rebellion army killed more than 35,000 people in Jicheng in less than half a month, and the beheaded
The rebels only numbered more than 60,000. The strength of the rebels was still there, and the morale of the Han army was getting higher and higher.
That night, Huangfu Song once again summoned the eight generals under his tent. He first praised Gao Fei and Sun Jian for their contributions, and then got back to business and said loudly: "The rebels have retreated to Jincheng. Although our army has suffered losses of more than 30,000
Our morale is high, so we should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory. Dong Zhuo, Bao Hong, you two will lead your troops to attack Longxi, which was occupied by the Ling Qiang first!"
Bao Hong stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders!"
Dong Zhuo, however, had a look of disdain on his face. He glanced sideways at Huangfu Song, raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me, General Chariot and Cavalry, the rebel bandit leaders have retreated to Jincheng, so they should pursue the victory towards Jincheng, right? Why do you want me to attack Longxi?"
Huangfu Song said: "The Qiang people are the main body of this rebellion. General Dong has great prestige in the hearts of the Qiang people, and Longxi is General Dong's hometown. If General Dong can pacify Longxi, which was occupied by the Qiang, he will naturally be able to dismantle the former Qiang."
Ling Qiang's support for the rebels. As long as Longxi is captured, General Dong will be able to block the communication between the Shenlang Qiang and Baima Qiang in the south and the Shaodang Qiang in the north. If General Dong recruits the Qiang people with faith, he will definitely be able to make Ling Qiang
The surrender of the Qiang, Shenlang Qiang, and Baima Qiang is a great achievement. If General Dong is not willing to do it, then I will have to send someone else."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo felt that what Huangfu Song said was very reasonable. He would not give up such a great achievement to others. He immediately sneered and said: "Apart from me, Dong Zhuo, can the general find another person to pacify the emperor?"
Lingqiang? I'll just go."
Huangfu Song glanced at Dong Zhuo and smiled at each other. On the surface, the two of them didn't seem to get along, but in fact they understood each other best. Apart from their irresistible smiles, they couldn't find anything else.
What emotions should be shown to the other person.
Gao Fei saw this subtle scene and murmured in his heart: "Now Huangfu Song is on top and Dong Zhuo is on the bottom. Later it will become Dong Zhuo on top and Huangfu Song on the bottom. I don't know what these two old friends will do."
What kind of story is it?”
"Gao Fei, Zhou Shen, and Cao Cao, I have ordered the three of you to lead our army and horses to attack Jincheng together and pursue the rebel leader Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Han Sui is not a Qiang Hu, if you can understand him with affection, you can move him
"Li, maybe I can get him to surrender to our big Han. In addition, I will send another five thousand cavalry to help you in the battle. These five thousand cavalry will be under the command of Sun Jian for the time being. The four of you go together and we will have a discussion sooner or later." Huangfu Song continued to order.
Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian came out together, cupped their hands and said: "The last general takes orders!"
Only Zhou Shen came out last, and with a melancholy expression, he raised his hands to Huangfu Songgong and asked: "General Qi, the four of us are going to fight together. Our positions are almost all in the same rank. In case of disagreement, we will fight separately."
, wouldn’t that be detrimental to our army? The general thought that it would be better for the general to choose one of the four of us as the chief general and the other three as deputy generals. In this case, the order of priority will be in order, and there will be no more discord in government orders.
It’s something.”
Huangfu Song nodded and said: "Bo Tong's words are reasonable..."
"Report to the general, all Sun Jian's men were killed in the battle, and the five thousand cavalry were also given by the general. Both Gao Fei and Cao Cao's troops were damaged, but the last general's eight thousand soldiers and horses were all intact. The last general was incompetent and was willing to
I will temporarily take over the position of general and use my power to control the army." Zhou Shenmao then recommended himself.
"You..." Huangfusong was a little surprised after hearing this.
Zhou Shen said: "Of the four troops, the general has the most troops and horses. The subordinates of the general only obey the orders of the general and the general. If any one of Gao Fei, Cao Cao and Sun Jian becomes the commander, the general will worry that the subordinates of the general will not be able to do so."
I will be convinced..."
"Well, then you will be the commander-in-chief, and Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian will be the deputies. The four of you have a total of 20,000 troops. We will go to Jincheng first. After I have packed up, I will personally lead the army to join you.
.”
Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian looked at each other in confusion. Although they felt a little unhappy, they agreed. Together with Zhou Shen, they bowed to Huangfu Song and replied in unison: "General, I will obey!"
After the meeting, Gao Fei returned to the camp to prepare, leaving Gai Xun, Lu Heng, Pei Yuanshao, Xia Houlan, and Bian Xi to take care of the wounded soldiers. He took Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, and eight hundred people intact.
Feiyu soldiers, plus 1,200 Han soldiers, a total of 2,000 people began to gather with the army.
This time, Sun Jian was most satisfied. Although there were only two wounded soldiers left among the five thousand soldiers under his command, he had five thousand more cavalry under his command for no reason. Of course, he was very happy. He took the lead
After leaving the team, he led five thousand cavalry to the gate of Gao Fei's camp, where he waited for Gao Fei's troops.
After Gao Fei and Sun Jian gathered together, Cao Cao also came over with his five thousand troops. The three of them joined together and started walking towards Zhou Shen's military camp with twelve thousand soldiers and horses.
Zhou Shen had already assembled troops and horses. When he saw the troops of Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian arriving, he said arrogantly: "Why is it so slow? Don't you understand the importance of soldiers and speed?"
Gao Fei, Cao Cao knew Zhou Shen's character well, and hated Zhou Shen putting pressure on him. No one paid any attention to Zhou Shen, and there was a hint of contempt in their eyes. Only Sun Jian behaved more politely, and immediately
He replied: "Sun was so late in raising troops from General Huangfu and delayed General Zhou. Please forgive me."
Zhou Shen heard that Sun Jian used Huangfu Song to suppress him, and said: "General Sun, I am the commander of this operation. You all have to listen to me. No matter how big General Huangfu is, his words are like water being poured out. It is collected."
I’m not coming back. I’m too lazy to argue with you, just follow me. There’s still some distance to go from Hanyang County to Jincheng County.”
After the words fell, Zhou Shen left first with his eight thousand horse infantry and headed west along the official road.
"If this Zhou Shen hadn't been related to the Shi Chang Shi, how could he have become a general based on his little ability?" Sun Jian was also a little angry, and started to complain after Zhou Shen left.
Cao Cao and Cao Cao smiled and said to Sun Jian: "Brother Wentai, let's go our own way. As long as he doesn't make things difficult for us, we don't have to pay attention to him."
Gao Fei disliked Zhou Shen the most. There was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, and a slight sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said slowly in his heart: "Zhou Botong, let you stay proud for a while. When you get to Jincheng County, there will be a place for you."
