Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1236
"The day before yesterday, the two armies clashed to the north of Wulian City. Because of their large numbers, Wang Zhuo first formed an elite formation to meet the attack. The Jin soldiers wore horse armor and pierced through the headquarters with [-] heavy cavalry. Frustrated in the first battle, Wang Zhuo led the crowd to retreat. Going back to Wulian, I want to fight against the exhausted master with the righteousness of other tribes..."

Zhang Guan is more aware of the battle process between King Tuge of Wulian City and the kings of the Jin army than the various forces on Sanyang River who have a closer look.

As the instigator of this battle, especially since Wang Zhuo is a new and powerful army leader who has not been attached for a long time, in order to ensure that the development of the situation can be within his intention, he naturally has to install his cronies in Wang Zhuo's army.

Because it was after the battle in Wulian City, and seeing that the situation was irreversible, Zhang's confidants hidden in the army followed the trail to bypass the already chaotic Sanyang River, and returned to report.

But if there is a choice, Zhang Guan would rather not know the specific process of this battle.Although the fighting power displayed by the Jin army is extremely strong, after all, the army from afar is outnumbered, so this battle was fought extremely hard.

According to the report of the cronies, during the day and night of the battle, the Jin army was completely overwhelmed by the Yi Cong of the Hu tribe who spread all over the mountains and plains several times, and their defeat was imminent. The large-scale siege and attack, and Wang Zhuo's secret desire to preserve his strength, he was reluctant to put his elite troops into the battlefield at critical moments, which allowed the Jin army to break out of the siege several times, but killed those Hu's loyal followers with fear , not daring to besiege them with all their might.

Especially in the final decisive battle, Hu Bu Yicong was no longer able to drive away. In order to secure the victory, Wang Zhuo had no choice but to lead his elite troops to fight.Although its military equipment is far behind the Jin army, especially the hundreds of heavy cavalry of the Jin army are desperately strong, but after seven or eight hours of recuperation, Wang Zhuo's army can be regarded as waiting for work.

In the last decisive battle, the Jin army rushed to the camp with heavy cavalry again, but due to the serious physical exhaustion, the lethality was far from enough, especially the large-scale collapse of the horses, which completely trapped the hundreds of heavy cavalry in the battle of slaughtering all the troops. In the midst of this, the Jin army, the most powerful force, completely lost its combat effectiveness.

At that time, even the chief general of the Jin army lost his will to fight, and he did not dare to rescue the heavy cavalry when they were trapped in the enemy's line. Instead, they led the remaining thousand cavalry to flee to the north of Lueyangchuan.

The Jin army's well-equipped equipment far exceeds the level of the tyrants in Longshang. Seeing that the general situation is about to be settled, Wang Zhuo is also greedy for all his efforts. On the one hand, he sent other troops to chase after the Jin army's defeated troops, and on the other hand, he personally led his elite to besiege and kill the Jin army that was already trapped in the army. heavy ride.

These heavy cavalry equipment are really good, especially the power displayed in the battle is even more amazing. As a powerful army leader in troubled times, how could Wang Zhuo ignore the strategic value of this batch of heavy equipment.In this frontier of Longshang, even if the tyrants from all sides are willing to spare no expense to build it, they don't have the corresponding craftsmanship at all.

Such an important armored weapon, a high-quality weapon that cannot be replicated in Longshang, even if one of them leaked out would make Wang Zhuo's heart ache.Therefore, when the Jin army's fine cavalry retreated, Wang Zhuo immediately ordered all the Hu tribes to withdraw from the battlefield in order to avoid being looted by others, and went to the front to command and kill the Jin army's heavy cavalry that had almost lost their combat effectiveness.

However, no one expected that at this last moment, these heavily armored soldiers of the Jin army would suddenly fight back and directly pull down the flag of Wang Zhizhong's commander-in-chief.It just so happened that all Hu tribe followers were expelled from the battlefield. Seeing that the banner of the Chinese army was destroyed, it immediately caused a big rout of the whole army.The Jin army, which had already fled, also fought back at a critical moment, which eventually caused Wang Zhuo's army to be defeated.

After learning about this, Zhang Guan scolded Wang Zhuo for being greedy and neglecting his life, and damning mediocrity, and on the other hand, he also deeply regretted that he was still conservative when making decisions.If he had been able to make up his mind at that time, not be afraid to completely turn against Zhongzhou Xingtai, and directly lead the crowd to occupy Sanyangchuan, by the time the Jin army broke out of Lueyangchuan, it would have been at the end of their strength, and he would have been completely besieged and killed in Long The water is near.

Although this will bring many bad consequences, they are all issues that need to be considered and resolved in the future. At the very least, it can prevent the influence of Zhongzhou Xingtai from entering Longshang.

But because of this taboo, Zhang Guan didn't want to personally deal with the master Wang who had penetrated into Longshang, lest he would fall into a delicate and dangerous situation. The effect of borrowing a knife to kill people has created the current embarrassing situation.

"If you can be more ruthless..."

Zhang Guan's face was gloomy and cold, and he muttered to himself.Now the master of that road is stationed on Sanyang River, and there are many powerful Jin people from Longshang gathered around, and the results of the battle in Wulian City have spread throughout Longshang.

Although in terms of military strength at present, Zhang Guan still has the absolute upper hand. Since the [-] troops have already approached Ji County, and the distance from Sanyangchuan is less than a hundred miles away, it seems that he still has the ability to encircle and kill this king. the power of.

But with Wang Zhuo's lessons learned, Zhang Guan really dare not think optimistically in this regard.Moreover, Sanyangchuan is already the essence of Longshang, and it is close to Tianshui, which is much wider than Lueyangchuan. Even if the battle is unfavorable, the kings along the way can go elsewhere, and the best time to wipe out them has already been missed.

What's more, there are a lot of Longshang tyrants gathered around Master Wang.Earlier in Longshang, because only his own side was strong, those tyrants could temporarily assume a female posture.But now Master Wang is going up to Long with the momentum of a big victory. Zhang Guan has no confidence in whether these people will still be intimidated by their own power while watching the situation.

"Quickly tell Song Ji to speed up his march, otherwise Longshang will not be mine!"

Zhang Guan summoned his cronies again, and gave orders anxiously.Before, he didn't want these Liangzhou tycoons to interfere in Longshang's military affairs, because he wanted to use it exclusively, but now his hopes have been shattered, and the situation in Longshang has become more complicated, and he is no longer able to control it alone.Right now, it is necessary to unite all the forces to the outside world, otherwise the results that have been achieved now will be in danger of being repeated.

In addition to ordering Song Ji to speed up the march, Zhang Guan also ordered the horse to return to Guzang after a little thought, and reported the details here to Zhou Zhangjun.

This time Wang Shi went to Longshang, although Zhang Guan did not directly block it, but Wang Zhuo was also part of his previous military exploits in recruiting and attacking Longshang, and he brazenly used troops on Wang Shi.If the other party grasps this point and pursues him relentlessly, Zhang Guan will also be embarrassed, and it is difficult to escape.Faced with such a situation, Zhang Guan needs more protection and more support from the governor of the state.

For this point, Zhang Guan is still quite confident. He is a capable person among Zhang's clan, and he is also one of the few ministers under the state government who has a heavy army and a great honor.

It's just that if he wants to avoid picketing this time, he must be prepared for bloodletting. Fortunately, he also gained a lot from the battle in Longshang this time, but the thought of sharing the fruits of his bloody battle with others, Heartache is always inevitable.

"Shen Yun, Shen Yun...the mere Nanxiang Wu raccoon dared to show off Weilong, this is deceiving me that there is no one in the west!"

The battle of Wulian City also allowed Master Wang to spread the name of Lord Shen Yun from Longshang.Speaking of which, Zhang Guan's background is quite similar to this Shen Yun's. He and Zhou Zhangjun belong to the same clan, and this Shen Yun is also a descendant of Shen Weizhou in Zhongzhou Xingtai.The two of them also set up their own armies, and successively raised their might in Longshang.

Zhang Guan has even heard that recently some of the generals have begun to compare the two, judging the pros and cons.Although Zhang Guan laughed out loud on the surface, there was still a lot of laughter in his heart. His family has managed Hexi for four generations.
And he was able to send out heavy troops and attack the land of Henan, not all because of his family background.As for Shen Yun being famous in Longshang, it was nothing more than a lucky victory in Wulian City.Even in the early years when Jie State collapsed, Liangzhou and Zhongzhou were in close contact, and many famous generals in Zhongzhou also had stories of their deeds, but they did not hear the name of Shen Yun. It can be seen that this time the warlord's westward march was all due to the favor of the family.

"Let Wu Nu be a little arrogant, I will let you know how difficult things are after a long time!"

Zhang Guan was not annoyed when Shiliu compared his talent as a veteran general with this lucky guy. He also thought that in the future the state capital would definitely need to sit in charge of the Longxi area of ​​Henan, and the two heroes would inevitably collide. Which is worse.

Right now, the two armies are stationed very close together, but Zhang Guan does not intend to have any contact with his army at this moment. In fact, he does not know what kind of posture he should put on. Before receiving specific instructions from the governor, at least he has to wait until Song Ji arrives After that, envoys will be sent there.Before that, only when the army did not exist.

However, Zhang Guan turned a blind eye to Master Wang here, but he was unable to cover others from seeing and hearing. Soon a series of changes happened, but this was not good news for Zhang Guan.For example, the attitudes of some forces that originally relied on him became ambiguous, and even directly pulled away.In addition, some Longshang tyrants were keen to build momentum for Master Wang, which also made Zhang Guan very upset.

In order to show his majesty, Zhang Guan can no longer just sit around and do nothing, and must kill this momentum.And the object of his choice of Liwei is Tianshui's tyrannical Yin family.

Yin Bao, the son of the Yin clan, was held as a hostage under Zhang Guan's tent at that moment, and he found an excuse to imprison him, and announced that he would behead him to demonstrate the military law. Naturally, the purpose was to force the Yin family to bow to him.

Yin Meng of the Yin family is leading an army Xiangqu under Zhang Guan's tent to serve as the army guard. However, after the war in Wulian City ended and Wang Shi entered Sanyangchuan, Yin Meng was less and less subject to Zhang Guan's military orders. , Even the earlier agreement to donate military funds has since disappeared.On the contrary, it was Yin Zhong, his younger brother, who collected more than [-] head of cattle and sheep and sent them to the Jin army camp in Sanyangchuan not long ago.

Right now, Zhang Guan is threatening his son's life to force Yin Meng to enter the camp to kowtow and plead guilty, but even so, Yin Meng still did not come to see him, but sent someone to preach: "Long Shang has been in chaos for a long time, and the king's order is not easy to restore. Today All parties are excited by the victory of the king's division, knowing that the revival of Jinzuo is in sight. My son is brave and like-minded, and if he can help the military, he will not be afraid of death. But if the inferior son is proud of his courage and violates the law of the army, What a pity to have a son! There is no kindness in teaching a son, no face to beg, but waiting for the ruling order of the envoy."

After hearing Yin Meng's statement, Zhang Guan became even more furious, and even planned to execute Yin Bao here, just because all the generals under his account pleaded for mercy.And after this incident, he also felt more clearly the centrifugal strength of these Longshang tyrants, so he could only continue to urge Song Jidong to strengthen his own strength and bargaining chips.

But just as Zhang Guan suppressed his anger here, another storm arose: more than a hundred soldiers in his army were drinking horses in Longchuan, but they were suddenly captured by the Sanyangchuan Jin army, and both men and horses were captured.
