Chen Hansan used the excuse that Tancheng was surrounded by enemies and asked to borrow a road from Xuzhou to Huaiyang to garrison on standby, which was granted.
On the 26th, Chen Hansan led his troops to march westward, crossed the Si River from the Lianzhou pontoon bridge erected on the south side of Damiao Gang, and passed through the southern suburbs of Xuzhou and at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. Liu Aner did not expect Chen Hansan to change at all, thinking that Huaisi could be in such a situation
, Chen Hansan felt that he had made great contributions, and he and his generals went out of the city to meet him, but were attacked and killed at the northern foot of Fenghuang Mountain.
Chen Hansan took advantage of the chaos to seize Xuzhou and recapture the Yunlong Mountain Camp. The refugee army in Xuzhou was completely defeated.
On the same day, Yue Lengqiu broke out of his camp and marched northward, leading the main force of the Huai army to march north along the east bank of Nansi Lake and attack Tengzhou.
The refugee army's camp in Qinglonggang stretches for more than ten miles, covering it like a cloud curtain. In the northwest plains, the war has not stopped, the people who have left their hometowns have not returned yet, the fields are uncultivated, and the green grass is growing vigorously.
The sound of galloping horse hooves was like low rolling thunder coming from the horizon. Soon, dozens of horses appeared in the peripheral scouts' field of vision. The knights on the horses were all stained with blood on their shirts. They were wailing in pain as they galloped.
: "That thief Chen Hansan surrendered his officers and soldiers, Commander An was dead, and the Xuzhou camp was destroyed..."
There was a huge uproar in the Qinglonggang refugee camp, Liu An'er died, and the Qinglonggang refugee army was leaderless for a while.
Liu Miaozhen and Malanlong's troops accounted for less than one-third of the Qinglonggang refugee army. With Liu An'er alive, all the generals could accept Liu Miaozhen's control; with Liu An'er's death, the generals were in a panic and it was difficult for Liu Miaozhen to suppress them.
Some people say that Suining was captured to prevent the officers and soldiers from being attacked by the traitor Chen Hansan. Some people say that they counterattacked Xuzhou and killed Chen Hansan to avenge An Shuai. Some people said that they crossed the Bian River to the west and withdrew to Haosi to plan for the future.
If you want to go to Suyu, then think about it for a long time...
If Suining could be easily captured, how could he let Yue Lengqiu withdraw from Xuzhou and retreat to the east of the Sishui River?
Xuzhou was captured by Chen Hansan. There was not enough food and grass here, and there was no material to attack the city and build a stronghold. Eighty or ninety thousand soldiers and horses marched to the Xuzhou city in chaos. How to take Xuzhou back from Chen Hansan's hands?
The territory of Suyu was narrow, and Suining was sealed off at the Huaisi corner. The food and grass had been almost exhausted. Eighty or ninety thousand soldiers and horses rushed to Suyu, but the officers and soldiers were locked up to beat the dogs.
Cross the Bian River and retreat to the west. In the summer and autumn, the Bian River is vast and four to five miles wide. There are 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers and horses. How can we cross without boats?
Each had their own ideas and plans; the 80,000 to 90,000 migrant troops in the northwest of Suining and the more than 10,000 migrant troops in Suyu suddenly fell into an unprecedented desperate situation of being alone.
The most critical thing for the Huaisili people's army at the moment is that they are leaderless. The highly respected Yang Quanquan died in the battle in Hezhong Prefecture a year ago, and the direct generals loyal to Liu An'er, Sun Zhuang, Wu Shiyi and others are not in Suining.
Malantou wanted to push Liu Miaozhen to be the leader, but some people were dissatisfied and led more than 10,000 men to leave westward alone, intending to cross the Bian River. However, Chen Hansan's 2,000 cavalry who rushed towards Taoyuan sixty miles away took advantage of the chaos and defeated them.
***********
The Sishui River was mighty, so Liu Tingzhou took a boat down to Suining on the 27th, and boarded the boat to see Lin Fu before midnight. At this time, Suining's generals and officials also gathered on the Jinhai ship parked on the Sishui River.
discussion.
"This is the handwriting of Governor Yue. He led his troops north to Tengzhou and attacked the bandits from Jining. Chen Hansan has been granted the title of Xuzhou Zhizhi Envoy and is stationed in Xuzhou. The north and south bandits are unable to see each other. I hope the Zhizhi Envoy can lead the left army in Jiangdong and stick to it.
Suining, the large group of bandits from Suyu will be surrounded by the army and wiped out..." Liu Tingzhou handed over Yue Lengqiu's handwritten letter.
Lin Fu took Yue Lengqiu's handwritten letter, spread it out and read it, asked Liu Tingzhou to take a seat, and said, "I understand what Yue Du means..."
Although Lin Fu officially took office as the Huaidong Zhizhi Envoy, the Huaidong Zhizhi Envoy's affairs such as opening offices, establishing governance, setting up the army, troop levels, supervising the army, food and fodder, weapons, camps and other matters have not been finalized yet. The so-called Huaidong Zhizhi
The title of Zhizhishi is still empty for the time being; Liu Tingzhou is still the prefect of Huai'an, and Yue Lengqiu asked him to come over, probably to supervise the army and supervise the war.
Lin Fu previously led the Jiangdong Left Army as the Jinghai Governor's Envoy. Although the territory was small, it belonged to the rural army and had no direct relationship with the Jianghuai Governor's Office. Now that he has taken the post of Huaidong Zhizhi Envoy, he is under the jurisdiction of the Jianghuai Governor's Office. The territory will be large.
Some, but in the end it is not as good as running Chongzhou. It can be regarded as having advantages and disadvantages.
Zhang Yan was also present, bowed his hands to Liu Tingzhou, and secretly said that the Huaidong system was placed under the jurisdiction of the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion, but Yue Lengqiu must not have the extravagant hope of commanding Lin Fu, the demon fox, right?
Lin Fu handed Yue Lengqiu's handwritten letter to Qin Chengzu who was sitting in front of the case. Gu Siyuan and others circulated it and asked Liu Tingzhou to come to the sand table in the middle of the cabin to speak: "The bandits have eighty or ninety thousand soldiers and horses in the northwest of Suining. I only have in my hand
There are more than 10,000 weak troops, and it is really hard to say whether they can be left in Suining. However, Governor Yue has ordered that I have to try my best. I immediately sent the boat division northward, landed at Shuanggouji, and launched a pincer attack
The situation of the bandits in Qinglonggang is waiting for Governor Yue to lead his army to attack together..."
The Sishui River passes through the northern border of Suining and turns a big bend to the northeast. The actual flow direction in Suining is from west to east. Lin Fu's so-called boat division marching north to Shuanggouji is actually going westward, cutting off the Qingshanggang Current.
The bandit took the road north to Xuzhou, but from another aspect, it also blocked the road south led by Chen Hansan.
Liu Tingzhou was well versed in military affairs and was not easy to fool. He knew that Chen Hansan had deep concerns about Lin Fu. Lin Fu sent troops into Shuanggouji. Chen Hansan would not dare to lead his troops deep into Suining territory. However, Lin Fu arranged this, and Liu Tingzhou
It’s hard to say anything.
Lin Fu peeked at Liu Tingzhou. Chen Hansan had a grudge against him for destroying his family and destroying his family. It was not clear how he viewed Chen Hansan's sudden change of life.
At this time, the scout boarded the ship and reported: "Sun Zhuang will leave camp from Suyu at dawn today and lead his troops northward to Suining. He has about 6,000 people and is about thirty miles away from Suining!"
"This ferocious tiger didn't come too late," Lin Fu frowned and sighed.
Qin Chengzu pulled out two small blue flags from Suyu on the sand table and placed them southeast of Suining.
Zhou Pu rubbed his hands and said: "Most of the other rogue generals would just stay behind closed doors and wait and see the situation, but Sun Ganzi is more bloody and leads the elite troops northward. He wants to join Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou, and then go north to avenge Liu An'er.
!”
"Liu Miaozhen and Malantou may not agree to immediately go north to take revenge." Zhao Qinmin said, Xuzhou City has been captured by Chen Hansan. How could the refugee army easily recapture Xuzhou City in a hurry, kill Chen Hansan, and avenge Liu Aner, Sun
The blood in the pole is rising. There must be calm people among Liu Miaozhen and Malantou, otherwise the refugee army in Qinglonggang last night will march north.
"They might come to fight Suining!" Gu Siyuan said.
Yang Pu didn't say anything, but Lin Fu had no shortage of advisers and brave generals.
"Wu Shiyi is in Tengzhou. It is still doubtful whether he can stop the Changhuai Army from advancing north. The reputations of Malantou and Sun Ganzi are not enough to control the refugee army south of Xuzhou. The only way is to push Liu Miaozhen out," Qin Chengzu analyzed.
"However, last night, a refugee army fled west alone and was defeated by Chen Hansan's cavalry troops who marched south to Taoyuan. From this, it can be seen that after Liu An'er died, Liu Miaozhen was not enough to inherit his brother's reputation... Sun Ganzi was a fierce tiger, and his subordinates
There are not many soldiers, but he has a high reputation in the refugee army. Sun Ganzi is not strong enough to jump out and take the lead, but if he joins forces with Liu Miaozhen and Malantou, and he also comes to recommend Liu Miaozhen as the leader, it is likely that the refugee bandits south of Xuzhou will be temporarily
Gather under Liu Miaozhen’s banner..."
"That is to send troops to intercept and prevent Sun Ganzi and Liu Miaozhen from joining forces at Malantou!" Lin Fu said, twirling the beard on his chin lightly, but frowning, staring at the terrain around Suining on the sand table, considering the suitable combat terrain.
Pointing to a white line in the southeast of Suining City, he asked Qin Chengzu, "Is it good to fight here?"
"There are ditches and slopes to rely on, so the infantry can be arrayed to intercept, and the light cavalry can attack." Qin Chengzu said.
"Then fight here!" Lin Fu made up his mind and ordered, "Ning Zechen, Zhou Pu, you two immediately lead Feng to leave the camp, and dispatch four hundred Qingqi to Yaojiagou. We should be able to catch up with Sun Ganzi.
Before arriving, form an array in front of the ditch. Sun Ganzi, a fierce tiger, is eager to advance north, and there is a rare opportunity to attack him unprepared... Ao Canghai, you will lead the mountain camp, cross the Huaihe River and 200 heavy cavalry, and follow me westward.
Intercept the refugee army that may attack from Qingshangang to aid Sun Zhuang's tribe!"
****************
Sun Zhuang led his troops northward at dawn. He was full of resentment and wished he could fly to Xuzhou and tear that thief Chen Hansan into pieces. He also held a grudge against the officers and soldiers. After hearing the scouts, he found out that the left army in Jiangdong had crossed the front.
In Yaojiagou, Sun Zhuang was full of thoughts about stabbing the ruthless officers and soldiers in front of him to pieces, venting his pain first, and then joining forces with Malantou and Liu Miaozhen to attack Xuzhou.
Zhang Gou advised him to shrink his formation and make some adjustments to prepare for a strong enemy. Sun Zhuang scolded him: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. In a fight between chicken and cock, you will win hard. You are a bird!" He changed the white pole!
With his horse under his arm, he drove his horse ahead, leading the 6,000 troops who had marched from Suyu without rest, and rushed towards the Jiangdong Left Army who had hurriedly formed a formation in Yaojiagou...
Zhou Pu led his armored light cavalry to directly cross the Yaojia Valley. More than four hundred light cavalry gathered behind a low hill called Meiqiu. Zhou Pu and his deputies rode up to Meiqiu to observe the enemy's situation.
Sun Zhuang led his troops to fight, bringing up long scrolls of flying dust like a yellow dragon from a distance. The faces of the people could not be seen clearly, but looking at the battle flags, the dozens of cavalry in the front should be led by Sun Zhuang himself.
Zhou Pu said to his deputy: "When the bandits come to attack, you can lead your troops to cut in from the flank. I don't think you need to teach you how to fight..." He left the cavalry behind, took two escorts, and rode towards Meiqiu in a hurry.
The phoenixes in formation galloped away from the camp.
Ning Zechen was puzzled. He was about to ask Zhou Pu why he didn't lead the cavalry himself and came here to intervene. However, he saw Zhou Pu dismounting, taking off the fine scale armor on his body, and called a short and sturdy man.
A soldier of similar stature forced him to take off his gray-brown leather armor and put it on himself.
"This reckless man not only refused to close his formation, but instead spread his legs and rushed towards us. He was trying to kill the general and defeat the army." Zhou Pu said to the puzzled Ning Zechen, "You put the flagpole on
Stand higher and move forward to lure him to kill me. I will be by your side and we will work together to capture him. I will take credit for your contribution!"
Ning Zechen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sun Zhuang was going to rush over and fight with all his strength. According to his nature, he would deploy three or five layers of oblique wings to form a dense defense. As long as he strengthened his position and blocked Sun Zhuang's three-axe-like charge, he waited until he was exhausted.
If he joins forces with the cavalry to counterattack, he will be able to capture Sun Zhuang with great victory. Who would have thought that Zhou Pu wanted to capture Sun Zhuang alive?
Sun Zhuang led his troops suddenly and could not see the situation behind Meiqiu, but some spies reported that the Jiangdong Left Army had cavalry crossing Yaojiagou. Seeing the Jiangdong Left Army infantry arrayed in front of Meiqiu, the general's battle flag was quite
Being in the front was in line with his intention to kill the general and seize the flag. As long as the two armies killed each other and marched towards Qinglonggang in a threatening manner, Sun Zhuang no longer considered the issue of being attacked by the Jiangdong left army's cavalry on his flanks.
Sun Zhuang roared, pointed his sword at the general's battle flag of the Jiangdong Left Army, and rushed forward with his subordinates, like an arrow from a string.
The dozens of horsemen on Sun Zhuang's left and right were all elite confidants who had been brought out from Hongzepu. They were used to the rampage-style assaults with Sun Zhuang, and they were not afraid of death and regarded death as if they were home. They dismounted from the war horses without armor, and fell down one after another after being hit by arrows.
Changing horses, no one led the troops and continued to charge forward, ignoring the two or three arrows that hit him.
Sun Zhuang dismounted his horse and was killed by an arrow, but a general gave him the horse. When he met the chariot formation, he made Ma Shuo fly away a shield chariot with great force, broke a gap, rushed in, and watched
Ning Zechen, who was wearing bright scale armor under the general's banner, roared: "Son, Master Gan is here to take your life today! I have the guts to challenge you!"
Ning Zechen was surrounded by his left and right retinues, wrapped in battle flags, and slowly retreated, luring Sun Zhuang to go deeper.
The general must be very careful when advancing and retreating in the formation. When fighting, the war drums must not be disordered, the battle flag must not fall down, and the general must not retreat quickly and panic-strickenly. As soon as the general retreats, a hole will appear in the center of the formation. If the enemy soldiers take advantage of the situation, they may rush in and pursue them.
If the main general is killed, the entire formation will be close to collapse; ordinary generals will mistakenly think that the main general will flee first, and naturally they will have no fighting spirit.
However, Ning Zechen retreated slowly and the war drums were calm, but Sun Zhuang thought that there was an opportunity to kill the general, seize the flag, and defeat them in one fell swoop. He was so enthusiastic that he did not realize the trap at this time. Thinking that Sun Zhuang was so brave, he was dismounted.
He also has the experience of breaking through an siege alone. Even if he knew there was a trap waiting for him, under the current situation, he would still break through...
Sun Zhuang only stared at Ning Zechen, and he charged forward with his horse. Only four cavalry on the left and right followed him. Three or five small soldiers rushed in from the left wing. The first one was holding a sword and a shield.
Seeing the soldier holding up his shield, Sun Zhuang sneered and took advantage of the situation to shake his horse spear. He shook it until the elastic force of the spear tip could break a stone millstone. He didn't believe that a soldier could protect his life by relying on a broken shield.
One life.
The man whose shield was broken was not dead. He suddenly stretched out a hand from behind the broken shield, grabbed the head of the horse spear and pulled it with great force. Sun Zhuang had no time to let go, and he fell sideways. He put his left hand on the ground to support the horse back.
On his back, there was a huge fist hitting the door in front of him...
