ps: Damn, it’s already Laba. This year has passed so smoothly and quickly!
The grassland in July is green and green.
However, the sky is clear, the fields are vast, the wind blows and the grass is low, but there are no cattle or sheep in sight.
At the height of summer, Zhu Biao once again led his troops out of the fortress. They traveled three thousand miles, but could not see a single barbarian, let alone a tribe.
"God, even Yanranshan gave up, Wuji is so willing to come!"
"Commander, do we want to continue going north?"
"Although the Hugo with his fists is far inferior to his original strength, it is still not something that our hundred thousand cavalry can handle. Dragon City still...be cautious!"
The generals in the army gathered in front of Zhu Biao were discussing one word after another. More than ten or twenty people spoke, but they were orderly and without any confusion. This is the army, in front of Zhu Biao's tent.
"Captain Zhu..." Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Wu.
"Zhu Shuai, looking at Wu Ji's posture, it is very likely that he has gathered the entire strength of the Hu tribe. Dragon City should not underestimate it." Zhu Wu was obviously in favor of withdrawing troops.
Zhu Biao nodded to express his understanding. Since Wuji could give up his entire right wing, he could naturally retract his left wing. Uda's strength was still very strong. Together with Wuji, the current Dragon City might really be occupied by an evil dragon.
Just these 100,000 horses from Hedong heading north...Zhu Biao also gave up in his heart.
"It was a waste of time to prepare and waste so much food and material resources."
The riding whip swept across the grass, leaving a completely annihilated powder trail on the green grass carpet.
However, even though the army was already preparing to turn around and leave, Zhu Biao would not leave immediately after arriving at Yanran Mountain. At least, he would need to stay here for a few days to declare the Han army's 'sovereignty'.
But at this moment, Beihan was completely turned upside down.
The State of Zhao, the Northern Han Dynasty's most staunch ally in the war against Hu, and an ally for five hundred years, once again made the Northern Han Dynasty feel betrayed.
The king of Zhao, Dan of Zhao, and the kingdom of Zhao completely fell to Tianjing, the imperial capital.
This news spread from Zhao State to Northern Han Dynasty, and the entire city of Beiping was shaken. Countless people could not help but roar in horror.
There is no danger to defend the inner side of Yanzhou. An army of hundreds of thousands has joined Luozhou's army of 200,000 to attack Baiping Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain. However, the Zhao army has already gathered together. If a punch comes horizontally at this time,
How should the Northern Han Dynasty cope?
Anguo Gong Zhao Sheng? Ji Yun was one of his father's good friends back then and Zhao Dan's brother.
But don’t count on him now. Not to mention how much Zhao’s strength and status will improve after the Northern Han Dynasty is destroyed, even if the person who is the king of Han now is Ji Yun’s father, it is impossible for Zhao Sheng to betray his family.
and country.
Besides, what happened in the Northern Han Dynasty is today. Is there anything else to hide?
No.
All the secrets are so clear to the discerning person. Therefore, don’t count on friendship.
Now Duke Anguo of Zhao has the power of the army, and he is probably dreaming of revenge and the Spring and Autumn Period. If the Zhao State can destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, the Zhongshan State will definitely not continue to exist, so the Zhao State will not be able to completely swallow up the Northern Han Dynasty.
The two territories of Han, Zhongshan and Shan can at least double their own territory. As the direct brother of King Zhao, it is not impossible for the governor of the Zhao family to succeed Zhao Lian, to open up borders and split the soil, and also bring a group of people with him.
Wearing the crown for fun.
"What are the plans of the Prime Minister and the Taiwei?" Yun Han asked.
Cai Jueshen shook his head and said with a worried look on his face: "Marquis Yun, if I have a solution, do I still need to ask you? To be honest, I have made an appointment with several close friends in the court to come here to discuss countermeasures. We will discuss it later.
arrive."
"There will be a meeting tomorrow. No matter what, we must come up with a charter."
Yun Han naturally understood what Cai Jueshen meant. With the current situation in the Northern Han Dynasty, a large-scale 'return of troops' was inevitable, but how much of the situation could be saved by the return of troops, and whether we should 'return' to the troops of Hedong, that is
It was an unknown and a big problem. I didn’t mind it at all, so I nodded in agreement.
Cai Jueshen glanced at him and said, "I believe that Marquis Yun can understand my difficulty."
The two sat down and talked for a while, then they heard footsteps outside. Yun Han stood up knowingly and retreated to the inner hall.
The unknowns are difficult to deal with, and Hedong is even more difficult to solve.
As long as Ji Yun is still in power, as long as the Yun family is still in power, Zhu Biao and the court will never be able to return to the seamless relationship they had before. Today's discussion will definitely involve Zhu Biao, and Yun Han will have to get out of the way.
A man came in, wearing a colorful military robe and a turtle-back belt. Although he was not tall, he was very strong and not angry. He glanced around the study room and bowed to Cai Jueshen.
Then another person came into the study. He was also an acquaintance of Yun Han, an important general in the Imperial Army of the Northern Han Dynasty. He was about fifty years old, tall and tall, with a long beard, and very elegant. After greeting Cai Jueshen, he came in with him first.
The officials nodded and said hello.
"The current situation is unpredictable and the country's journey is difficult. The two governors are both pillars of the country and the backbone of the army. What do you expect?"
"Unexpectedly or not, since I boarded the ship of King Tang, everything has been tied to the victory or defeat of King Tang. Now King Tang is in a disadvantageous situation on the battlefield, losing cities and territory constantly, and Zhao Dan no longer remains neutral.
It makes sense to jump out..."
The strength of the Hu people suddenly declined, and Zhu Biao successively inflicted huge casualties and damage on his right arm, Yougu Li Ministry, and Shanyu Wangting, which relieved the heaviest and only burden on Zhao.
The official who came in first picked up the tea cup and put it to his mouth, and replied without thinking: "That's the truth. Our place is completely irreversible."
"The fight has been decided. And we must use thunderous means to lay down the first rafter in the shortest possible time, otherwise Prince Tang will be in even greater trouble."
Because there are Yan Kingdom and Wei Kingdom behind the Tang Dynasty, the avalanche effect, or domino effect, can be explained in this way.
When he said this, the veteran on the opposite side nodded in complete agreement, and then brought up the most important topic of this discussion - Hedong.
"We must transfer Zhu Shuai back. If we want to show our thundering methods, who else is more suitable than Hedong Army than Zhu Shuai? I'm not saying that Yun Zheng is inferior. Compared with others, he is absolutely excellent, but Zhu Biao is
Monster, it took five hundred years for the Northern Han Dynasty to produce such a monster."
In July of the third year of Yuanwu, Yanping County, as the supreme power center in Yanzhou, the governor's office was enveloped in an atmosphere of surrender and escape.
As a peaceful place for more than ten years in the Northern Han Dynasty, the position of Yanzhou governor held a heavy weight in the court.
There is stability and military power here, stability means life safety, and military power means battlefield achievements. Except for the disaster in Qingxian County and the crisis in Yandong, when the imperial court used Yang Guangchun, a courageous and knowledgeable official of the generation, at other times,
The governor of Yanzhou was used to plate gold and raise people.
The current governor of Yanzhou is a coward who doesn't even have the courage, let alone his responsibility to defend the land. Most of the subordinate officials in the governor's office, including the prefect of Yanping, are trying their best to prevent the governor from "leaving with his seal" and escaping.
The royal capital, but the governor simply did not want to stay in Yanzhou, a place that was about to become a battlefield.
The governor wanted to leave but was too frightened to do anything.
One day, two days, three days... time passed slowly.
In late July, the last straw for the fat-headed governor finally appeared. Five hundred thousand Zhao troops officially invaded the Northern Han Dynasty, divided into two groups, and swept through Yanzhou and Linzhou. Among them, the attack force
Yanzhou's Northern Route Army, with its leading 100,000 men, had already engulfed seven counties in one day.
When the governor heard the news, he was so horrified that he gave up even the last trace of his face and prepared to flee eastward. But even at this juncture, he did not forget to maintain his "responsible" image. He clearly stated this in his resignation letter.
"This is not a matter of Jianming. It is all out of the sinner's intention."
What I mean is that this was not forced on me by the subordinate officials. It was me who felt that I was incompetent and brought the situation to this point. I felt guilty and handed over the power to Zhizhong.
It can be said that the Zhizhong of Yanzhou took over the responsibility of the governor without any burden at all. Because before that, most of the affairs and government affairs of the governor's office were completed by Zhizhong, the head of the governor. However, the governor's
What a huge blow to the resistance morale of the entire Yanzhou army and people by fleeing. And there is one problem that cannot be solved -
The main force of the Han army in Yanxi and Yandong has all moved north. So, what can we do to resist the Zhao army?
The three-mile company camp, with military tents all over the place, was supposed to be a place full of crowds and flashes of swords and swords, but at this moment it was deathly silent. The twenty thousand defenders 'fled upon hearing the wind', leaving the empty camp behind and succumbing to the cold wind.
Zhongping adds a bit of desolation and loneliness.
Near the riverside of the camp, thousands of soldiers from the Zhao Kingdom's "Jingsui Camp" had already begun to make food, and piles of bonfires were burning, reflecting the strangeness of the empty camp behind them.
In the county town more than 20 miles away from the camp, in the brightly lit county guard's mansion, Xie Shuyan, who was always in armor, sat high up, with chapped lips, a gray face, and a bit tired. Only the pair of clothes that had been clothed
The bloodshot eyes were still as bright as a torch. Sun Zhengtao and Wei Bin were on either side. Below, more than a dozen fully armed army officers, middle and senior officers, sat one after another. During the day, the Zhao army's attack was repulsed, which greatly boosted the morale of the army. Seven thousand soldiers
Now we share the same hatred and are sincerely united.
Of course, seven thousand people cannot resist the Zhao army that is ten times more numerous outside the city. The former are mainly composed of county soldiers and rural warriors, while the latter are the absolute elite of the Zhao army. The gap between the two sides is not only in quantity, but also in number.
Even more so in terms of quality.
But when will the reinforcements everyone is expecting arrive?
The high atmosphere in the hall subsided. At this time, the soldiers outside suddenly came to report, and the Zhao army under the city sent envoys to the front of the city.
Xie Shuyan asked how many people had come, and learned that there were only three or five. He could not figure out the other party's intentions for a while, so he led the officers and rushed to the top of the city. When he climbed to the top of the city and looked down, he saw only four or five soldiers holding open fires.
The shield protects a person, who is looking towards the top of the city.
Probably because he saw someone coming from the top of the city, a soldier below protested and shouted: "The guard of the Han army comes out to answer!"
Xie Shuyan ignored him. He was representing the Northern Han Dynasty at the moment. How could he be shouted at by a mere pawn of the other side? Not to mention that he had also been brilliant back then.
The people below shouted several times but received no response. Another person shouted like a bell: "I am Guo Ming, the former general of Songyang County. Please come out and answer me, the general guarding the city!"
When he heard it was Guo Ming, Xie Shuyan's eyes suddenly burst into flames. This bastard, luckily he had considered him a friend when he was transferred to Yanxi. He had already guessed the other party's intention, and when he was about to speak, Wei Bin beside him had already
He was the first to scold, "Guo Ming, you shameless villain! You received favor from the king and didn't want to repay it, but you turned to the Zhao thief! People of the Han family hate to sleep on your skin and eat your flesh! Why don't you?
You dare to come here and embarrass yourself, you are shameless——"
Guo Ming listened below. He did not get angry, but asked loudly: "Are you the Pingdu Guard General? But I remember that the Pingdu Commandery General is Xie Shuyan, Xie Xiaowei, please tell me your name!"
Wei Bin ignored him, sneered, and cursed Shui Zhi loudly. Guo Ming patiently listened to him, and after he finished scolding, he shouted up: "I came here on the orders of the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhao Army, and I have something to say, please listen carefully.
"
At this time, Sun Zhengtao couldn't help but want to curse, but Guo Ming didn't change his expression. He was too shameless. Xie Shuyan blocked him and chuckled: "Just watch the trick and listen to what he said."
"Ji Yun is ruthless and has no father, and the Yun family has no ruler and no righteousness. Who in the world can't see the fishiness in the matter of the first prince? It is obviously the work of Tang Ni in Beijing. Ji Yun suddenly overturned and his attitude changed drastically. This is a great proof.
.
How despicable and rebellious is this? How unworthy of a son of man?
Coveting the throne and neglecting his biological father is the evil behavior of the Han family for five hundred years. He is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust. How can he become the master of my great Han Dynasty?
General Xie, think about what you have experienced over the years? Look at the commander-in-chief of Hedong, who has devoted his whole life to the country and established the pillars of the cauldron. However, he has been tabooed by the treacherous king many times, not sending a single soldier, not allocating a single grain or money. Looking at millions of people in Hedong.
Those who disregard their own safety and only seek to eliminate the backbone of the country, Ji Yun and Yun Thief, are truly shameless.
Why would General Xie die in the service of such a dirty person?
Nowadays, the situation in Tang Dynasty is extremely dangerous. The army of the imperial court is about to enter Youzhou and wipe out the northern frontier. Ji Yun's traitor to the king will not last long. The Zhao army was ordered by the heaven to attack Wu Dao. In a few days, the army marched 500 miles, and it was unstoppable. General Xie
Guo Ming admired him for being loyal to the country and adhering to Pingdu.
Guo Ming has always admired General Xie.
However, the general trend of the world cannot be stopped by manpower. If the general tries to shake Mount Tai with the power of ants, he will be ruining himself! The commander-in-chief of the Zhao army admired the general for sticking to the city. Guo Ming repeatedly told him before he came that if the general understands the situation clearly and submits to his command,
Then let bygones be bygones, and still use it more seriously!
What do you think, General?"
However, after Guo Ming tried to persuade him, the city did not respond at all. Looking at the general who had previously answered him, he also kept silent, so he shouted: "Thank you, General. Guo Ming is here to persuade you with all your heart and sincerity because of the general's former prestige. If you don't listen to the loyal advice,
, insist on resisting, and when the army breaks the city, that will be the time for you to become the leader! Do you think that if you hold on to the city, Zhao Jun will not be able to do anything to you? To tell you the truth, there will be at most 200,000 troops arriving in the future.
…”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the city changed their expressions! If the Zhao army really has another 200,000 troops arriving in two days, the entire Yanzhou, and even Anzhou, will be in danger.
Xie Shuyan's expression remained unchanged. Regarding the current Pingdu, is there any difference between the 780,000 and 2780,000 Zhao troops and the 2,780,000 Zhao troops?
Seeing that the expressions of all the generals on the left and right changed, and the soldiers' faces turned pale. Guo Ming from below the city was still taking the trouble to persuade him to surrender. Xie Shuyan said to the general beside him: "Give him a heads up." The latter sneered and asked from Gong Hu.
He took the bow and arrow, pulled a yellow birch bow into a round shape, shot an arrow on the ground in front of the feet of several soldiers, and the arrow hit the ground half way!
Although he was protected by a shield and was not afraid of arrows, Guo Ming could not help but be taken aback. When he was about to speak, he heard a voice from the city.
"Guo Ming! You bastard, I should have shot you to death with one arrow. If you don't kill the envoy during the battle between the two armies, I will spare your life. Go back early and tell Zhao Gou that as long as I, Xie Shuyan, don't die, he can't even think about it.
Take a step beyond peace!
Our officers and men are all good men with strong bones! They will never surrender! They will never beg for mercy!" Xie Shuyan was so angry that his voice spread everywhere. The officers and men at the top of the city were inspired by him, their frustrated morale was restored, and they raised their arms and shouted!
Xie Shuyan stopped talking nonsense to Guo Ming, looked around and said with a smile: "Let's go, you all have been tired for a day, and you haven't even eaten a bite of the hot meal. Let's go back to worship the five internal organs temple. If he wants to say it, let him say it here."
"All the officers on the left and right laughed and followed him down the city.
Guo Ming really didn't want to lose face. After the Han soldiers at the top of the city cheered, he started to persuade them to surrender. But after he finished talking about the second formation, he saw no response from the city. After asking several times, he suddenly heard someone on the city yelling.
: "Go away! Traitors, stop making noise here!"
"Who are you?" The voice did not belong to Xie Shuyan. Guo Ming was startled and asked immediately.
"Your grandpa is the Marquis of the Army of Pingdu County!" the man on the top of the city shouted back.
Guo Ming was so angry that he almost vomited blood! Junhou? What kind of thing is this! He dared to be so presumptuous in front of him! He used to be a lieutenant in a county, and his position was far above that of a military prince. For a moment, his heart really rose.
There was an overwhelming feeling of depression and anger.
You are humiliated and humiliated by this!
——Guo Ming realized what he really wanted.
After thinking about it, I was shocked, angry, angry, and sad. I had mixed feelings in my heart, and thousands of thoughts came to my mind. I couldn't help but wanted to curse, but before he could curse, I heard Cheng Cheng
There was a loud shout above his head, and arrows shot like locusts! Several followers hurriedly protected him and the Queen retreated. Guo Ming's blood boiled and he was furious. As he retreated, he howled hysterically: "How dare you do this?"
!”
At that moment, he fled back to Zhao Jun's camp, but he didn't dare to hide anything, so he reported everything to him. After hearing this, Yang Guangsheng, the commander of Zhao Jun, was so angry that he would send out elite troops to attack the city the next day.
, his generals remonstrated hard, suggesting that they wait until the siege equipment arrived before making any calculations, but Yang Guangsheng was not willing to listen? There were only six or seven thousand people, and I was still afraid of him? So I insisted on attacking!
Xie Shuyan refused to give in in Pingdu City. He relied on the reinforced obstacles and attacked with sharp arrows and firearms! Even though the Zhao army was outnumbered, the Han army in the city did not have complete siege equipment until they were exhausted.
Under the circumstances, they had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment after suffering more than a thousand casualties.
Yang Guangsheng became a little angry and attacked three times in a row the next morning! But it had no other meaning except to continue to increase casualties.
At dusk in the afternoon of that day, the boundless Zhao army came forward.
The huge military force was overwhelming, and the rising yellow dust obscured the setting sun in the west. The entire Pingdu City trembled at the footsteps of Zhao Jun. At this time, on the prairie, Zhu Biao received an urgent military signal from the rear.
