Dajin royal family

Chapter 565 Hanzhong Raiders (thanks to Pangu Xiyue for the reward)

In mid-April, the scorching sun rises and shines on the land of Guanzhong.

"Mother, when you get to Dasan Pass, you must eat a few meals!" Cheng Zhijie led five hundred soldiers to escort the prefect Yu Qingze to Dasan Pass, his fat face was covered with sweat.

Yu Qing on the side shook his head and smiled. He also knew something about this general who escorted him from Taiyuan to take office. He usually acts like a hooligan.

This time, Yu Qing took office in Jingzhao County. The first thing he did was not to go to Chang'an, but to complete the task of King Zhao and send a letter to Li Yaoshi, the general guarding the pass.

Li Yaoshi was originally guarding the Lantian camp, but he went to Lantian to find out that Li Yaoshi had gone to Dashan Pass for inspection, so he did not dare to neglect, and first sent a cavalry to Dashan Pass to keep Li Yaoshi. Hurry up and drive over behind.

At noon, Yu Qing rushed to Dasan Pass, met Li Yaoshi, and handed over Zhao Wang's letter to the latter with his own hands.

Dressed in armor, Li Yaoshi opened the king's handwritten letter and read it carefully, with a smile on his face.

"Beating drums and gathering generals!"

With the sound of beating and drumming at Dasan Pass, the generals put down their things one after another and rushed to the main tent of the Chinese army.

After a while, all the generals came to the big tent.

Yaoshi Li scanned the generals with his eyes, and said: "The king has ordered us to attack Hanzhong!"

The generals seemed very calm and were not surprised by the news. In fact, it was within their expectation.

In the land of Hanzhong, violent bandits are rampant, and there is no established force. The barbarians in southern Sichuan and some bandits in the cottage took advantage of the chaos to occupy Hanzhong and harm the people.

At the same time, they went south to attack Hanzhong through Dasan Pass, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.During this period of time, although there was no rumor of a war coming out of the court, in fact they knew very well that Hanzhong would still fight sooner or later.

It is not only land, but also a granary.

It's a stupid thing for a fool to leave such a piece of fat.

"The end will fight!"

"The last general invites you to fight."

A famous general stood up and was willing to lead the army to attack Hanzhong.

Who doesn't want this free credit.

Yu Qing nodded inwardly, assuming he could use his heart.

In fact, he was the first to know about the attack on Hanzhong.The court wants to stabilize the government this year, and the king has no idea of ​​launching a war with the outside world, but in the land of Hanzhong, Bashu, the king has some thoughts.

For one thing, the Bashu Han were full of violent bandits or barbarians from southern Sichuan who were fighting on their own, and they didn't need to work hard to mobilize the masses to attack them.Secondly, these two places are big granaries.If it is taken, it will not only form a strategic deterrent to the south, but also guarantee the source of food.

Pharmacist Li raised one hand and pressed it down, and the tent became quiet.

"I know what you are thinking, but I tell you, this time to take Hanzhong, you must win with one blow, put away your rashness!"

As the chief general, he already knew the attitude of the army towards Hanzhong.

Because Bashu Hanzhong is not a formed separatist force, and the Northern Jin army has always been invincible, the generals under his command feel that Hanzhong and Bashu can be easily won.

However, the arrogant soldiers must be defeated!
This is the first time that he is in charge of an army alone. How can he be careless to attack Hanzhong under the king's order.

Hearing this, all the generals calmed down one after another.

Yu Qing, who was on the side, thought to himself, no wonder the king liked Li Yaoshi so much and asked him to guard the pass.Such composure is rare, the leader of the first army, he really can afford to sit still.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yaoshi said: "Since you all want to be the vanguard to attack Hanzhong, let's talk about your strategy for Hanzhong."

After the voice fell, a general stood up, clasped his fists and said: "General, in the land of Hanzhong, there are many bandits and gangsters, and there is no trend. Our army can drive straight in, occupy the city, divide and attack, and we will definitely win in one fell swoop."

Pharmacist Li looked at the confident general, and then glanced at the others.

"Do you have a different opinion?"

Another sub-general stood up, "General, although there is no force that poses a major threat to our army in Hanzhong, all kinds of bandits criss-cross in it, hiding in the fortress. If our army captures the city, I am afraid that these bandits will secretly attack you." Sneak attack on our army's grain road, and then besiege our army."

Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "What's your strategy?"

Basically the idea is mentioned, but the problem is that how to play it is not mentioned.

In the land of Hanzhong, there are many camps, many of which are hidden in the mountains. Naturally, their army can take the city by virtue of their combat power, but the question is what to do next?
You can't always be dragged in Hanzhong to suppress bandits.

General Naya coughed dryly, "The last general hasn't figured it out yet."

"No problem." Li Yaoshi waved his hand, and continued, "Which general has a plan to take Hanzhong?"

All the generals looked at each other, and they could all see that the main general was unwilling to adopt the strategy of directly capturing the city, and preferred to take it slowly.

When she was young, Qin Yujing stood up.

"General, although the bandits in Hanzhong hide in the mountains, they must fight for food. Maybe we can use this as an ambush."

After all, there is no way to grow food in the mountains.

Hearing this, Li Yaoshi twitched his lips, "What General Qin said is reasonable, can someone add it?"

Knowing the main general's preferred thinking, the generals followed this thinking and began to offer advice and suggestions, expressing their own ideas, and after a while a well-formed strategy gradually appeared in the dictation of everyone.

Yu Qing nodded secretly, the king really has a unique vision, this Li Yaoshi is indeed capable.

Now that it was confirmed that there was no problem with Li Yaoshi's capture of Hanzhong, Yu Qing didn't stay any longer, and left and returned to Chang'an.This time, he not only delivered the letter, but also cooperated with Li Yaoshi to transport the food and grass from Chang'an to Dasanguan.

If you want to take Hanzhong, there are three ancient roads you can take.

One is the Chencang Road from Chencang, through Dasan Pass, and into Liangquan, Hedi County.This ancient road has been relatively well-repaired, and it is also the road most explored by the Jin army.

The other is the Baoxie Road going south from Mei County. This road has been in disrepair for a long time and has been blocked by rebels.

The last one is the famous Meridian Road.This one is not under consideration, because the rebels in Hanzhong have already deployed heavy troops around this ancient road, specifically to guard against the Northern Jin army guarding Guanzhong.

Therefore, this time Li Yaoshi's strategic goal is to go to Hedi County first!
Li Yaoshi took Qin Yujing as the vanguard general and led an army of five thousand to attack Liangquan.

Because they knew that the king would definitely attack Hanzhong, they sent scouts early to inquire about Hanzhong.

At present, the situation in Hanzhong is relatively chaotic. The four counties of Hedi County alone are occupied by four local forces at the same time.They didn't rebel, but they didn't accept recruitment either. It was obvious that they were supporting themselves!

It is not them who give them the courage to stand on their own, but the four bandits behind them.

According to the news, the four groups of thieves and bandits are very cautious, and usually hide in the cottage, and only a small number of them enter the city.

At night, the [-] vanguard troops led by Qin Yujing were lightly armed. The purpose of their trip was to clear the way ahead and clear the way for the heavy siege equipment behind them.

Although the cavalry of the Northern Jin Dynasty was strong, the Hanzhong Bashu generation had many mountains, which was too much wear and tear for the horses, and the cavalry was not suitable for fighting in the mountains.

The night was filled, and five thousand soldiers turned into a long team, spreading on the winding mountain road.

"Second brother Qin, we brothers can finally fight side by side again!" At the front of the team, Cheng Zhijie followed Qin Yujing with a smile on his face.

"Yeah!" Qin Yujing patted him on the shoulder, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"Hey, it's still the second brother who is amazing."

"Whether it's great or not, they are all pioneers of the king, and they are all brothers of their own. If there is me, there will be you." After a pause, Qin Yujing reminded: "Although you say this, you have to remember that General Li governs the army. Be rigorous, you must get rid of some of your habits."

"What habit?" Cheng Zhijie thought Qin Yujing was bluffing him, pretending not to understand.

"Alcohol is prohibited in the military!"

"Second brother, you know who I am, but I never drink." Cheng Zhijie immediately denied it righteously.

Qin Yujing chuckled and said, "The last time the two generals drank in the barracks, guess what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Each hit two hundred army sticks!"

"That's not killing people!" Cheng Zhijie lost his voice.

Are you kidding me, it's a military stick, and it's fatal to fight.

"Yes, they were all beaten to death." Qin Yujing said quietly: "During the execution, General Li asked all the generals above the school lieutenant to watch."

Cheng Zhijie swallowed, he believed that Qin Yujing would not deceive him in such a matter.

Besides, he killed two partial generals, and he could find anyone to find out if there was such a thing.

"Second brother Qin, if you talk about military discipline, I like to hear that." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Okay, this is the third military discipline"

That night, Cheng Zhijie forced himself to remember those boring military disciplines.
