402, rebellion, false king of Qin (please complete the order)
It probably lasted less than half an hour, and the remainder of this battle was finally cleared up.
Ruzhou is located in the Central Plains, in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and is still a certain distance away from the confrontation between the two countries along the Huaihe River.
Bai Gui led Shengyi's troops to Ruzhou this time, and he was already deep into the city alone.
So they didn't dare to delay for too long.
After the fight, retreat!
Wan Yanliang was also confident that he would have the advantage of having 10,000 iron cavalry against Bai Gui's 1,000 Song cavalry, so he did not notify the nearby Jin Kingdom defenders, otherwise the battle would be difficult to fight.
Of course, after the war, Bai Gui also sent out a team of rangers to try to prevent the Jin army from obtaining the battle report information. But this obviously cannot last long, and the ban will last for one to two hours at most.
"Is this Wan Yanliang's corpse?"
As the march was approaching, the soldiers of Shengyi Army finally found Wan Yanliang's body from a pile of corpses in a sea of blood, and transported it to Bai Gui.
"The seals and ribbons that were left behind in Beijing were collected from this corpse, which should be correct."
The guard replied.
Bai Gui nodded.
It wasn't that he had any doubts about the corpse.
In fact, at the stage when he "fell into" the Jin Army formation and then bent his bow and shot Wan Yanliang to death, he had already captured Wan Yanliang's aura, appearance, etc. in his mind.
He was trampled by men and horses, but the head was well preserved, and his identity was definitely not unrecognizable.
Shengyi's troops immediately retreated.
A day and a half later.
After a tight march, we arrived at the main camp of the West Route Army on the south bank of the Huaihe River.
The West Route Army was stationed in Guangzhou, which is close to the Huaihe River.
Bai Gui, dressed in military armor, went to the camp.
In the camp.
When Liu Qi heard the battle report, his eyes showed a hint of joy, but as a commander-in-chief, his expression remained calm and did not change much.
As a general, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
"You intercepted and killed Wan Yanliang in Ruzhou, who went to Beijing to stay behind. It was a great victory. Cutting off Jin Wushu's wing will be of great benefit to our army in this battle."
"But since you are the vanguard, this strategy is still too dangerous..."
He pondered for a while, "I will replenish the troops and horses for you. In addition, I will give you the Tabai Army under my command. The Tabai Army is an elite division. Although there are only a thousand and five horses, you must be careful."
use."
Speaking of this, he also showed a hint of distress.
The soldiers and horses of the Tabai Army are all elite without exception. Ta means to check, survey, and search. Bai is the pseudonym for Bo, which means 'overgrown, intertwined, and inaccessible'
.Due to the lush vegetation, it is easy for enemies to hide. Therefore, Tabai united, which means "detecting the enemy's hiding place".
In other words, the Tabai Army are all scouts, and the scouts are undoubtedly the best among the best.
If it were any other time, Liu Qijian would not have handed over the only elite cavalry in his hands to Bai Gui. But now, Bai Gui has just donated 3,000 horses to the West Route Army. With these horses, he will intensify training.
After a while, there was another team of elite cavalry. Although it was not as good as the previous Tabai Army, it was still worthy of reuse.
An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
What's more, he is a fierce general who is good at riding and fighting.
At this time, concentrating the limited maneuvering power in the hands of one person is what the commander should do. Picking and searching will not accomplish anything big.
"Thank you uncle."
Bai Gui cupped his hands.
"We are in a military tent now. What do you call uncle?"
Liu Qi frowned and scolded.
"Yes, Marshal."
Bai Gui accepted the order and didn't take it seriously.
Now there were only him and Liu Qi in the tent, so calling his uncle could enhance the relationship between the two. Although Liu Qi reprimanded him openly, in fact, he could tell that Liu Qi was also happy in his heart.
In the feudal era, those who could serve as the commander-in-chief of an army had both public and selfish motives. The public mind represented the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, while the selfish mind meant cultivating cronies. Without cronies, it would be like the human body without limbs and bones, and the movements would be inflexible. Because only cronies would
, will obey orders without question.
"Tell me about the process of intercepting and killing Wanyan Liang Wanqi..."
Liu Qi stroked his beard and chuckled, then said.
It seems to be just an ordinary question in the military tent. But the meaning of Bai Gui's uncle is self-evident, that is, he is his nephew, a close confidant of his coach Liu Qi, and he is the only one who obeys.
Even if he has no selfish motives, he is still satisfied.
"The course of this battle has been written down in the report."
"Please ask the commander to check."
Bai Gui took out a roll of silk from his arms and handed it to Liu Qi.
He had known that Liu Qi would ask this question, so he had prepared a report early.
"This report of yours..., although the lyrics are simple in theory, you may be able to see your skills."
Liu Qi only read the first few sentences of the memorial and couldn't help praising it.
It has been a long time since he has been the head coach and he has not seen such a pleasing report. Although the rhetoric of this report is not gorgeous, the words are appropriate and the rhyme is perfect. Reading it sentence by sentence makes people happy.
This is not because Bai Gui cannot write articles without gorgeous rhetoric, but because military reports should be concise.
But concisely..., compared with the memorial written by a rude warrior, and the memorial written by Bai Gui, a scholar who had learned eight-legged essays and poetry, and the number one scholar, there is obviously a big gap.
When reading the memorial, Liu Qi raised his head and glanced at Bai Gui, then looked back at the memorial.
Fighting is so "reckless", but writing articles is so good.
The difference is really unbelievable.
"This Wan Yanliang is quite interesting."
"I want to imitate Cao Mengde and tell me not to hurt you..., which leads to a big mistake and a complete defeat."
Liu Qi chuckled after reading the report.
In the report, Bai Gui mentioned that when interrogating Wanyan Liang's personal guards afterwards, the guards mentioned this, which was also a major reason why Bai Gui was able to rush into the enemy's formation.
"The Jin people are arrogant and have always looked down upon me, the Song people."
"Wan Yanliang suffered such a catastrophe this time, and it is within common sense."
When Bai Gui heard this, his face looked strange for a moment, then returned to normal and said.
Wan Yanliang is indeed very similar to Cao Mengde. Although he does not have Cao Mengde's ability, Cao Mengde has all the hobbies. After Hailing King Wanyan Liang ascended the throne, he once said: "I have three ambitions. All major national affairs are mine.
Also; the second is to command a commander to attack a distant place and take charge of his superiors to accuse those in front of him; the third is to have the most beautiful woman in the world as his wife, regardless of whether they are close or distant."
Although the thief Cao is dead, the ambition of the thief Cao will live on forever!
"If his father, Wanyan Zongqian, were in charge of Wanqi, things would not be like this."
"It can be seen that the bravery of the Jin people will not last long."
Liu Qi nodded.
Wanyan Liang was a third-generation Jin Dynasty man, so he underestimated the enemy and led Bai Gui to "pick up" a big advantage. Of course, not everyone can pick up this big advantage. It can only be said that compared to Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongbi (
Jinwushu) These second-generation Jins, such as Wan Yanliang’s third-generation Jins, are much easier to fight.
…
Liu Qi is a famous general.
After Baigui's vanguard army was supplemented by 1,500 elite cavalry from Tabai Army, it had reached 4,000 cavalry. As a result, the maneuverability of the West Route Army was greatly increased. Under Liu Qi's clever articles, the Huaixi Jin Army suffered repeated setbacks.
Han Shizhong's main army in Huaidong fought steadily. Although three or four states fell, they successfully dragged the main force of the Jin army, led by Jin Wushu, in Huaidong, and the two armies fell into a stalemate.
After several rounds of battles.
Bai Gui also rose to fame on the battlefield.
Become a soldier situation for everyone.
What is the military situation?
Ban Gu said in "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi": "The situation is like thunder and wind, coming from behind and coming first, leaving home and leaving home, changing inconstantly, and defeating the enemy with light illness."
In terms of tactics, when fighting, grasp the "action" and "momentum", so as to defeat the army and kill the generals, defeat the masses and seize the ground. Success is returned, and victory is won by force.
A few months later, Bai Gui accumulated the most achievements, and because he was a civil servant in Tongzi Branch and was young, he had established such great achievements. The Southern Song Dynasty court also wanted to publicize Bai Gui's military exploits through awards to show that "the divine power of the emperor"
", "Destiny is in the Song Dynasty", so Bai Gui established military exploits several times and never failed. By July of the 18th year of Shaoxing, he had been promoted to the post of envoy to the northwest of Beijing due to his merits.
Zhizhishi was a temporary military commander in the border areas of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was not often set up in the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, more and more Zhizhishi were set up. This official position was to be in charge of the military affairs of the states on the road.
As for the North Beijing Road, most of it is located within the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. The remaining states are still the areas that Bai Gui, as the vanguard general, recaptured through repeated battles in the past few months.
However, the Zhizhi Envoy was only sent by Bai Gui, and Bai Gui's rank was only from the fifth rank to General Ningyuan.
"There is no danger to guard on the North Beijing Road..."
"The imperial court issued an order, ordering me to seize Tongguan as soon as possible and enter Qin."
In mid-July, Bai Gui summoned his generals to make a speech.
During these months of hard work, the soldiers and horses under his command grew stronger and stronger. At first, he only had a small army under his command, Sheng Yijun, to a large army, totaling more than 35,000 people.
Of his more than 35,000 men, at least 7,000 have horses, and the remaining infantry are also elites allocated by the East Route Army and the West Route Army.
"I will obey the general's orders."
The generals half knelt and listened to orders.
After months of fighting, they had absolutely obeyed Bai Gui. Even though Bai Gui had not produced the official document on troop deployment, they subconsciously believed what Bai Gui said.
This is the charm of the military situation, the coach's will overwhelms everything.
"I, the general, will lead the cavalry first... and you will follow after me."
Bai Gui narrowed his eyes and said.
He didn't want to just build a dojo in a snail and lion shell on the Huaihe River. There were no passes to defend in the Central Plains, and fighting again would be of no avail, and it would just be a stalemate.
Although Guanzhong is not as prosperous as it was in the Tang Dynasty, its topography is definitely more than enough to serve as the foundation for the royal family.
In addition..., for him, the passes of Qin were useless.
Capturing Guanzhong, firstly, Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty was too far away from the Qin Dynasty and beyond reach, which gave him an opportunity to grow stronger; secondly, it threatened the Central Plains with the flanks of Guanzhong, so he could attack if he advanced and defend if he retreated.
After deciding on the strategy.
Half a day later, he pulled out his troops and rushed to Tongguan, Qin Dynasty.
Under Bai Gui's training, these seven thousand cavalry have become "as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain."
Three days later, Bai Gui became the first to ascend the throne and came down from Tongguan in an hour.
After capturing Tongguan.
Bai Gui widely recruited the people of Qin, spread his arsenal, and recruited 30,000 infantrymen.
Seven days later.
When the Jin people in Qin saw that the situation was over, they looked at the wind and descended, and all the nobles and nobles took possession of Qin.
He then used the soldiers on the northwest route of Beijing as the backbone and recruited soldiers on a large scale, reaching 150,000 soldiers.
And... at this time, Bai Gui came up to play.
"I have no prestige in the land of Qin and cannot convince the public. I once heard the story of King Xin of the Han Dynasty and asked your majesty to show your favor. I issued an edict to confederate you as the false king of Qin in order to win the hearts of the people of Qin..."
"I am terrified in my heart. I am looking at my emperor, so don't blame him!"
This upswing, a layer of stone, stirs up a thousand layers of waves.
Yu Nei was in an uproar.
Emperor Wanyan Dan of the Jin Kingdom also sent people to persuade Bai Gui to surrender. If Bai Gui was willing to surrender to the Jin Dynasty, he would have a bright future and wealth. The King of Qin and the Emperor of Song did not give it to him, but he, the Emperor of Jin, gave it to him.
Lin'an.
Zhao Gou was angry, "This noble man is so ambitious. How old is he now? He just wants to plot to treason and usurp the throne. Damn it! Damn it!"
"Your Majesty, maybe this Bai family really has made it his career to be the king and prime minister."
"This guy is reckless."
"In the past, King Xiang wanted to be the overlord, and the King of Han wanted to be the emperor... But this King of Qin might as well have given it to him. He is just a child's mind."
"Anyway, the Bai family is young and your majesty has no heirs now. You can accept the Bai family as your adopted son and then canonize him as the false king of Qin. This is justifiable."
Qin Shi said.
Zhao Gou's eyes turned cold and he stared at Qin Shi fiercely. He was so frightened by the Jin that most people would not dare to mention the shame of having no heir. However, he thought of the support behind Qin Shi and sat down on the dragon chair.
He sighed and said, "Tell Mr. Bai that I will accept him as my adopted son. There is no need to confer any false King of Qin on him. I just need to give him the title of King of Qin."
After that, he looked outside the Chui Gong Hall and said quietly: "Secretly detain the parents and clan of the Bai family, and don't let them escape."
Although Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and other famous generals have a close relationship with Bai Gui, these people cannot be easily touched. He can kill Yue Fei, but he cannot kill so many veteran generals. He still understands the principle of drinking poison to quench thirst. Besides, this Bai family "
"Conspiracy" has nothing to do with these veteran generals.
However, not long after, the escort from the Imperial City Department came to report, "To inform my emperor, the Baigui relatives and the Tang family relatives all moved to other places five days ago. In Lin'an City, only servants are left in the Bai family's cloth village."
"I...understand."
Zhao Gou paused for a while, waved his hand, and asked the imperial guard to leave.
He didn't expect that Bai Gui's plan was so comprehensive. Also, Bai Gui's achievements suddenly soared. Although there were supervision over the families of these generals, usually without the emperor's order to pay special attention, the officials would just follow the routine. This
The strictness of supervision is not much higher.
"Unexpected, unexpected..."
"In the Eleventh Year of Shaoxing Boy Examination, I ordered you to sit on my buttocks, but you didn't want to. I didn't expect that you had different ambitions at a young age."
Zhao Gou shook his head and sighed.
At this time, he thought of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. In fact, Bai Gui suddenly emerged on the battlefield, and his fighting style was very similar to Xiang Yu's. They were both in a military situation, so most people compared Bai Gui to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
It's just that many people deliberately ignore one thing.
This matter was now conceived by Zhao.
In the past, when the First Emperor of Qin was touring the east, Xiang Yu said to the Emperor's chariot: "He can take his place."
And at that time... Xiang Yu was young.
When the Song envoy came, Bai Gui heard this and directly refused to become Zhao Gou's adopted son.
"If you show your kindness, the angels won't believe it?"
Bai Gui prevaricates.
It wasn't that he insisted on getting this "fake King of Qin", but that now the situation had reached the point where he had to get it. He had received a secret report from the Jin people that Zhao Gou wanted to suspend the army, and the Jin people ordered Qin Yi and others to "
He was unjustly killed on "unfounded" charges.
It was difficult for the Jin people to deal with a fierce general like him, but wasn't it difficult for the Song people to deal with him?
Therefore, Bai Gui could only "take risks" and capture the first army.
After he captured the land of Qin, he immediately asked for the "fake King of Qin". The purpose was two-fold. One was to bargain, which meant that I was still a minister of the Song Dynasty, but if the court disagreed, he, a minister of the Song Dynasty, might not be loyal.
It is to draw a clear line with the Song Dynasty. If he is still a partial general, then whether it is Liu Qi or Han Shizhong, any commander in the line, can easily take over his troops.
After dividing the boundaries and supporting the troops with self-respect, there is room for turning!
Without the threat of his relatives, Zhao Gou could only swallow this bitter pill.
So Zhao Gou considered himself Bai Gui's uncle, and named Bai Gui's "nephew" as the false king of Qin.
Bai Gui accepted it as soon as it was good, and agreed to it.
At this time, the golden envoy came.
I want to bribe Bai Gui again with a high official position and generous salary.
Without him, Qin directly threatened the entire Central Plains from the side of the large geographical plate. Without Qin, if you want to defend the Central Plains, you will have to put in much more effort than before.
At the same time, this is also the strategy of the Kingdom of Jin to temporarily appease the evil tiger Bai Gui.
"Of course Marshal Yue's slogan is to return the old capital and welcome the second emperor..."
"Now Emperor Song canonizes this general as his nephew."
"My general... I couldn't sleep last night. I even missed Zhao Heng, the emperor's uncle. I wonder if the envoy of Jin can allow the emperor's uncle to return to Qin. I, the general, will definitely support him day and night."
In Chang'an, in the military camp, Bai Gui cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"The King of Qin's filial piety moved heaven and earth."
"It is only natural for my nephew to welcome the emperor's uncle back. I will return to Beijing immediately to report to Your Majesty."
When the Jin messenger heard this, he looked surprised, looked at Bai Gui deeply, and then smiled.
