Shu Chen

Chapter 278

Order Guse.

The camp of the Hexi coalition army is the main tent.

Accompanied by a loud sound of angrily smashing utensils, the thick military tent was lifted from the inside, revealing the angry face of Hexi Governor Jia Xulai.

I saw him walking straight up to the horse guarded by his personal guards, jumping up, pulling the horse's reins and heading for the low hill in the distance.

Pang Hui and Ke Wu, who were almost following behind, also looked unhappy, and after leaving the big tent, they galloped after them.The rest of the Haoyou or Qianghu leaders who went out of the account one after another showed no expression on their faces, as if nothing had happened, and Shi Shiran left under the guard of private soldiers.

Only Huang Hua, the prefect of Jiuquan who led the deputy governor of the coalition army, looked leisurely and walked lightly. When he left, he did not forget to say goodbye to the other heroes with a smile and nod.

The soldiers on guard all around seemed to be used to this.

No one would be surprised by the noises in the military tent, and they would not look sideways when these generals led out of the military tent, so as not to catch fire at the city gate and harm the fish in the pond.

Because the military discussions in the past few days all broke up unhappy.

The reason was the conclusion discussed by the people before. It was a miscalculation to send cavalry to harass the Xiongnu Zhiwudai and Baihuwen to force the Han and Wei Yan to return to help.

But he said that Zhi Wudai and Bai Huwen had been defeated by Guo Huai before, and the clansman suffered heavy casualties, only [-] people were left to fight together.

Jia Xu and all the generals felt that they would have a good chance of winning by sending out Kewu's tribe to restrain Ma Dai's iron cavalry from Xiliang, and then using the position of Hu Boju, who was also from the Huns, to lead more than [-] cavalry to harass him.

Unexpectedly, because Zhi Wudai and Bai Huwen often fought side by side with the Han army in recent years, they also learned some superficial knowledge of fighting in formation.And after several battles, the weak are eliminated, and the remaining soldiers can be called elites.

In the face of Hu Boju's arrival, they hid their women and children in the valleys where warhorses could not drive, cut trees and cut off roads according to the mountain situation, which made the Hexi cavalry helpless.

Although Hu Bo's military strength is twice as high, it is not an advantage to abandon the horse and fight.

Gein's cavalry pawns carry spears, short swords, and cavalry bows with a short range, which are difficult to attack.

And the Han army has long been prepared.

The thousand Xiliang iron cavalry that Ma Dai assigned were led by the deputy general Wudu Di Wang Yang Ji, and they have been wandering quietly in Yunjie County.

When Hu Bojuzi ordered the soldiers to pull out the roadblocks set up by Zhi Wudai and Bai Huwen, and the two sides were fighting in full swing, he seized the opportunity to suddenly attack from the flank!

Needless to say, half of the Hexi cavalry who had already dismounted and fought on foot were driven in by surprise.

Although the other Hexi cavalry who hadn't abandoned their horses quickly came back to help, making the widowed Yang Ji dare not continue to cover up the killing and avoid the battle, but in the chaos of just a quarter of an hour, there were still more than [-] people lying on the ground.

There are more than [-] riders, and more than [-] people are missing. It seems that there is no injury.

But Hu Boju knew that his army could no longer fight.

Because Yang Ji, who left with his strengths, will always be eyeing the tiger, looking for the next opportunity to break through; it will also make other Hexi cavalry soldiers unwilling to attack again.

After all, they are all cavalry pawns, and it is difficult for them to dismount and fight on foot.

And if Yang Ji attacked again, there was no one on horseback, and even the chance of escaping became slim.

The only way is to send out two thousand cavalry soldiers to stand guard within a radius of ten li, to stop Yang Ji from disturbing him at any time.

But a new problem will arise again - after the division of troops, how can they break through Zhi Wudai and Bai Huwen, who have no advantage in strength?
Therefore, Hu Boju was in a dilemma, so he simply led the army back.

He belongs to Liu Bao, the left side of the Southern Huns. This time he is only here to help in the war. If he encounters a dilemma, he will go back and let Jia Xu and others make a decision.

In any case, most of the [-] horsemen he brought were from the Qianghu tribes in Hexi.

If he forced himself to fight and caused too many cavalry casualties, he might be resented by others.

If he wins, he has no accumulated merit; if he loses, he will be criticized by thousands of people.

Why bother?
Furthermore, this place is not far from Wei Yan's troops stationed in Zhiyang.

In case Wei Yan personally leads the army to sneak to fight, it will be difficult for him to leave when the time comes.

Therefore, after he led the army back, it also became the reason for Jia Xu to convene the generals and lead the army for many times to break up unhappy.

The intention of sending troops to rescue Jincheng County will eventually be realized.

Since their plan to attack Zhi Wudai and Bai Huwen's ministries and force Wei Yan to return to aid failed, they had no choice but to forcefully attack the camp set up by Guan Xing's ministries.

It is a topic of endless debate who should serve as the first person under his command.

What made Jia Xu indignant was that he, Pang Hui, and Ke Wu all claimed that they would organize their own infantry into the first to attack the fortifications, and secretly ordered the generals who supervised the soldiers and horses of Zhangye County to publicly express their willingness to work together to attack the fortifications. The leaders of other Haoyou and Qianghu tribes all found various reasons to shirk, and they did not want to die together!

Because Huang Hua, the prefect of Jiuquan, was also trying to shirk his excuses, which made them follow suit.

Huang Hua used the excuse of guarding supplies, food and fodder, to claim that he could only send two hundred soldiers to attack the fortifications.

Can two hundred soldiers be up to the task?
Moreover, all the supplies, food and fodder are piled up in the big camp, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry guarding them, so why should his soldiers be on guard? !
"Shut up! Short-sighted, inadequacy and conspiracy!"

For several consecutive days of military discussions, even though Jia Xu tried every means to show reason and emotion, or lowered his posture to let Huang Hua work together, but after being rejected, he drew his sword angrily and angrily denounced the case, and walked away.

Wuting Nishui is the only river flowing from north to south in Northwest China.

Jia Xu, who rode his horse to the low hill outside the camp and looked at Wuting against the water, suddenly felt that his current situation was like this river: everyone admired the north, and I went south alone.

He finally understood why Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou were able to take advantage of the situation when the Han Dynasty fell out of power in the past, but there was no one who ruled the roost in the Hexi Corridor.

In a closed environment, there are too many spectators.

Even Huang Hua, who once served as the governor of Yanzhou in the Central Plains, has not been reborn!
A bunch of scumbags!
If the skin does not exist, how can the hair be attached?
If Jincheng County is attacked by Nishu, how can Hexi be alone.

Even if the imperial court regains Jincheng again in the future, the Luoyang temple will abolish the policy of "people on the border governing the border" on the pretext of sitting and watching Jincheng County fall.

oh~~
Perhaps, if the Luoyang Temple previously used Dunhuang prefect Zhang as the governor of Hexi, perhaps it would be a different situation now?
With the prestige of the Zhang family in Dunhuang in Xizhou, they ordered everyone to work together to die, and no one dared to shirk.

but me
It's hard to do anything.

With a long sigh, Jia Xu, who was stationed by the riverside, drooped his eyelids in a dispirited manner, making the withered and yellow late autumn on both sides of the river dizzy in his heart.

It is no coincidence.

To the west of the stone mountain in Yuling Jusai, there was also a person stationed on a low hill, looking at the desolate wilderness and sighing in his heart.

He is the defender of Hanzhong, Zheng Pu.

Also eagerly waiting for the day when the Hexi coalition forces will attack the Guanxing camp with all their strength.
