Accompanied by a loud banging of utensils, the thick military curtain was lifted from the inside, revealing the angry-looking Hexi Governor Jia Xulai.
He walked straight to the war horse guarded by his personal guards, jumped on it, grabbed the horse's reins and headed towards the low hill in the distance.
Pang Hui and Ke Wu, who were almost following behind, also looked unkind. After leaving the tent, they chased after them. The other Haoyou or Qiang Hu leaders who came out of the tent one after another had expressionless faces, as if nothing had happened.
, Shi Shiran left under the escort of private soldiers.
Only Huang Hua, the prefect of Jiuquan who was the deputy governor of the coalition forces, looked leisurely and walked lightly. When he left, he did not forget to say goodbye to other heroes with a smile and a nod.
The soldiers on guard around seemed used to this.
No one would be surprised by the noise in the military tent, and they would not look sideways when the generals left the military tent, so as not to cause fire at the city gate and harm the fish in the pond.
Because the military discussions over the past few days ended on bad terms.
The reason was that everyone had previously concluded that the strategy of sending cavalry to harass the Xiongnu Zhiwudai and Baihuwen to force Han and Weiyan to return troops and come back for reinforcements was a miscalculation.
However, he said that Zhiwu Dai and Bai Huwen had been defeated by Guo Huai before, and their tribesmen suffered heavy casualties. The combined forces of the two tribes only had more than 3,000 people left to fight.
Jia Xu and the other generals felt that they had a good chance of winning if they separated the Kewu tribe to contain Ma Dai's Xiliang cavalry, and then used Hu Boju, who was also from the Huns, to lead more than 7,000 cavalry to harass them.
Unexpectedly, Zhi Wudai and Bai Hu Wenyin often fought side by side with the Han army in recent years. Under the influence, they also learned some basic skills of fighting in formation. After several battles, the weak ones were eliminated, and the remaining soldiers could be used.
Call them elite.
Facing the arrival of Hu Boju's powerful troops, they hid their women and children in mountain valleys where it was difficult for horses to drive, and cut trees along the mountain to cut off roads and defend, leaving the Hexi cavalry at a loss.
Although Hu Bo Juzhi had twice as many troops, he still had no advantage by abandoning his horse and fighting.
Because the cavalry carried spears, short swords and short-range cavalry bows, it was difficult to attack the enemy.
Moreover, the Han army had already been prepared.
The thousand Xiliang cavalry sent by Ma Dai were led by the deputy general Yang Ji, King of Wudu Di, and they have been wandering quietly in Yunjie County.
When Hu Bo Juzi ordered his soldiers to remove the roadblocks set up by Zhi Wudai and Bai Huwen, and the battle between the two sides was in full swing, he found the opportunity and suddenly attacked from the flank!
Needless to say, half of the Hexi cavalry who had already dismounted to fight on foot were caught off guard and driven in.
Although the other Hexi cavalry who had not abandoned their horses quickly circled back for reinforcements, so that the outnumbered Yang Ji did not dare to continue the cover-up and fled the battle, but in just a quarter of an hour of chaos, more than 300 people were still lying on the ground.
There were more than 7,000 horsemen, but more than 300 people were missing. It seemed that there were no injuries.
But Hu Bo knew that his army could no longer fight.
Because Yang Ji, who left in a hurry, will definitely keep watching for the next opportunity to break out; it will also make other Hexi cavalry unwilling to attack the enemy again.
After all, they are all cavalry, and it is difficult for them to dismount and fight on foot.
Moreover, if Yang Ji attacks again, without anyone on horseback, the chance of escaping will become slim.
The only way is to detach two thousand cavalry to stand guard within a radius of ten miles to prevent Yang Ji from disturbing him at any time.
But a new problem will arise - after the troops are divided, how can they break through Zhi Wudai and Bai Huwen who are holding back the road without the advantage of military strength?
Therefore, Hu Bo was in a dilemma and simply led the army back.
He belongs to Liu Bao, the left wing of the Southern Xiongnu. He is just here to help in the battle. If he encounters a dilemma, he should go back and let Jia Xu and others make the decision.
In any case, most of the 7,000 cavalry he brought with him were from various Qianghu tribes in Hexi.
If you force yourself to fight and cause too many cavalry casualties, you might even be resented by others.
If he wins, he has no merit; if he loses, he will be blamed by thousands of people.
Why bother?
Furthermore, this place is not far from Wei Yan's troops stationed in Zhiyang.
If Wei Yan personally leads the army to fight secretly, it will be difficult for him to leave at that time.
Therefore, after he led the army back, it also became the reason why Jia Xu summoned the generals and led the army to hold discussions many times, but they ended up unhappy.
The intention of sending troops to rescue Jincheng County will eventually be realized.
Since their plan to attack the Zhiwudai and Baihuwen tribes and force Wei Yan to return reinforcements was fruitless, they had no choice but to forcefully attack the camp established by the Guan Xing tribe.
Who should serve as the first person under his command is a topic of endless debate.
What made Jia Xu extremely angry was that he, Pang Hui, and Ke Wu all claimed that they would allocate their own infantry to attack the enemy first, and secretly asked the generals in charge of Zhangye County's troops and horses to publicly express their willingness to work together to attack the enemy. However,
Other Haoyou and Qianghu tribe leaders all found various excuses to shirk responsibility and were unwilling to die together!
Because Huang Hua, the governor of Jiuquan, was also trying to push back and asked them to follow suit.
Huang Hua claimed that he could only send out 200 soldiers to attack the fortress on the grounds of guarding the heavy supplies of food and fodder.
Can two hundred soldiers be worthy of such an important task?
Moreover, all the food and supplies are piled up in the camp, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry on guard. Why does he need his soldiers to guard him?
"Fufu! You are short-sighted and short-sighted!"
The military conference lasted for several days. Even though Jia Xu was reasonable, moved by emotion, or even lowered his attitude to let Huang Hua work together, he was still rejected, so he angrily drew his sword, cut the case and denounced him, then walked away with a wave of his sleeves.
Wuting Nishui is the only river in the northwest region that flows from north to south.
Jia Xu, who drove his horse to gallop to the low hill outside the camp and looked at Wu Pavilion against the water, suddenly felt that his current situation was like the river: everyone admired the north, but I went south alone.
He finally understood why in the past when the Han Dynasty was out of line, there was Han Sui in Liangzhou and Ma Teng was able to take advantage of the situation, but there was no one who could dominate the Hexi Corridor.
In a closed environment, there are too many people who sit in a well and watch the sky.
Even Huang Hua, who once served as the governor of Yanzhou in the Central Plains region, has not been reborn!
A bunch of cowards!
If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?
If Jincheng County is defeated by Ni Shu, how can Hexi survive alone?
Even if the imperial court can regain Jincheng again in the future, Luoyang Temple will definitely abolish the policy of "people on the border ruling the border" on the grounds of watching the fall of Jincheng County.
Alas~~
Perhaps, if Zhang Jiu, the governor of Dunhuang, was previously the governor of Hexi in Luoyang Temple, maybe the situation would be different now, right?
With the prestige of the Dunhuang Zhang family in Xizhou, they ordered everyone to work together to die, and no one dared to refuse.
but me
It's hard to do anything.
With a long sigh, Jia Xu, who was stationed by the river, lowered his eyes in a waning mood, letting the withered and yellow late autumn desolation on both sides of the river drift away in his heart.
No coincidence.
To the west of Lingjusai Stone Mountain, there is also a man standing on a low hill, looking at the desolate wilderness and sighing in his heart.
He is the Hanzhong guard army, Zheng Pu.
They were also eagerly waiting for the day when the Hexi Allied Forces would join forces to attack Guanxing Camp.
