These Xianbei generals actually represent the interests of the Xianbei people politically; while Wang Gui's side are all Han Chinese. Needless to say, it goes without saying that these Han generals are not interested in the Xianbei people's de-Sinicization.
, if it weren’t for Wang Gui still siding with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, everyone would have no idea what the decision would be.
The conflict between the two sides has been going on for a long time, but now that the life and death of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is at stake, everyone still has to temporarily put aside their prejudices and speak out unanimously.
Because Wang Gui and Yuchi Jiong stood firm in resisting the Han army, since everyone carries the label of one of the two people, even if they have other ideas in their hearts, they can only bite the bullet and rush forward at this time.
.
Qi Lianxiong is not on his way to support the water, but in Luyang County.
Luyang County is already located in the upper reaches of the water. To be precise, it is the birthplace of the water. Turning from Luyang County to the south, it is the northern flank of the Han army.
The reason why Qi Lianxiong appeared in Luyang County was not because he found it boring to rescue Cui Jingsong, but because he had not received news from Cui Jingsong for a long time. All the scouts who went south to explore Cui Jingsong's headquarters
There was no trace of them, as if all the news was lost, Cui Jingsong and the soldiers and horses under his command seemed to have disappeared.
Even from Xuchang City, there has been no news from the front line for a long time.
It's not that the scouts between the two sides don't recognize the road, but that the white-robed scouts who have already been ambushed on this road have formed a death blocking rope, and any Northern Zhou messengers who bump into it will not be able to get out.
Being unexpectedly intercepted and killed, Bai Gong, who had already mapped out the surrounding roads and terrain clearly, was of course just a piece of cake to do such a thing.
Therefore, when Cui Jingsong was anxiously expecting Qi Lianxiong to come to support him, Qi Lianxiong actually did not know the specific situation of Cui Jingsong.
Later, Qi Lianxiong received the news that Cui Jingsong had led his army across the water, defeated Chen Zhishen and marched towards Nanyang. Of course, what Qi Lianxiong didn't know was that this news was half true and half false. It was written in white robes after intercepting Cui Jingsong's messenger.
A letter, and the person who wrote and signed the letter was none other than Cui Jingsong's chief staff member, Bao Xin, who was in Xuchang at this time.
Bao Xin is a collateral descendant of Bao Zhao, a famous writer in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The family inheritance lies here, which makes Bao Xin quite literary and proficient in astronomy and geography, so he is trusted by Cui Jingsong. Unfortunately, what Cui Jingsong does not know is that Bao Xin has long been
Already "I am in the Cao camp but my heart is in the Han Dynasty".
After all, in this imperial examination of the Han Dynasty, Bao Xing of the Bao family won the top spot in one fell swoop, allowing the Bao family to see the possibility of rising again. As a member of the Bao family, of course Bao Xin had to give full play to his abilities as much as possible.
The power of the Bao family highlights the importance of the Bao family in the Han Dynasty. With just one third prize, the Bao family may not only be difficult to rise, but also become a thorn in the side and flesh of many families that failed in the imperial examination. Therefore, in order to prevent the Bao family from being a flash in the pan
, Bao Xin also had to do something.
What's more, for Bao Xin, the imperial examination system did allow him to see the possibility of moving forward again. No matter how talented Bao Xin was in the north, he was just a small staff member, and he was still a staff member of Cui Jingsong, a subordinate of Wang Gui.
, it simply makes people unable to see any possibility of getting ahead, but the imperial examination system is different. Even Bao Xing, who has always been unknown in the family, can be appreciated for his true talent and practical knowledge, let alone himself?
In terms of actual ability, Bao Xin is not just exaggerating. Bao Xing is really not as good as his collateral descendants.
Therefore, when Baipao came into contact with him, he decisively surrendered to the Han Dynasty, imitating Cui Jingsong's handwriting and forging an official seal. For Bao Xin, who had handled too many letters and documents from Cui Jingsong, it was a piece of cake.
So the unlucky Qi Lianxiong received the news that Cui Jingsong had broken through the water and was advancing rapidly towards Nanyang on the way, and invited Qi Lianxiong to follow him and advance together.
Do you think I'm stupid if I follow you?
Of course, Qi Lianxiong couldn't be stupid enough to just follow Cui Jingsong. If Cui Jingsong ate meat, he wouldn't even have a chance to drink soup. It would be a waste of time, and he would have to find a way to raise military rations himself.
Unfortunately, Cui Jingsong probably did a sweep in front, and Qi Lianxiong was afraid that it would be difficult to even raise military rations.
Qi Lianxiong even had enough reasons to suspect that the reason why Cui Jingsong delayed sending the news that he had won was probably because he was afraid that Qi Lianxiong would compete with him for the credit, so he waited until the overall situation was settled before telling Qi Lianxiong that he would not come again.
There is no chance to even drink soup. This ugly face is really shameless!
Therefore, Qi Lianxiong, who has always been straightforward, is too lazy to argue with the shameless Cui Jingsong. He is facing a civil servant and he is a military commander. If he really wants to talk about it, he must be beyond words. Therefore, Qi Lianxiong simply ignores Cui Jingsong's urging and takes care of himself.
He led his army to turn west and headed for Luyang County.
Passing through Luyang County, you can also reach Nanyang, and it may not be faster than Cui Jingsong's Qi Zhan Qi. Qi Lianxiong would not naively think that Chen Zhishen, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, was so easy to deal with. He even maliciously suspected that Chen Zhishen
Did he pretend to be defeated by Cui Jingsong because he lured the enemy deeper?
But in any case, Chen Zhishen should not have expected that the reinforcements from the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not directly enter the frontal battlefield, but came from the flanks.
No matter where Chen Zhishen and Cui Jingsong were fighting at this time, at least Nanyang should be empty.
If Chen Zhishen really retreats, then he can just give him a big bargain; if Chen Zhishen abandons the first line of defense just because of a small mistake or simply lures the enemy deeper, then he can take Nanyang, even if he just lures Chen Zhishen back.
Army, that was also a great contribution to turning the tide.
So when Cui Jingsong was being bombarded by artillery fire on the south bank of the water, he was complaining, but his reinforcements had already embarked on another path.
And since this road was part of the Han army's comprehensive calculation, it was naturally not that easy to walk. When Qi Lianxiong, who was riding his horse past a hill outside Luyang City, inadvertently raised his head, a red flag suddenly jumped out.
eye.
Qi Lianxiong's pupils suddenly narrowed.
The next moment, thousands of arrows were fired, directly swamping the scattered Northern Zhou army.
On the hillside, Cao Zhong stretched out his hand to rein in his horse. Looking at the panicked Northern Zhou army below, he pointed the horse forward in his hand: "Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!" the Han soldiers roared out.
The flags fluttering in the wind seemed to have announced the final fate of the Northern Zhou army that had crashed into the encirclement.
From the front and the rear, countless Han soldiers roared in, and outside Luyang City, the sound of killing shook the sky.
