The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 35 The Battle of Yellow Flower Valley

Zhuge Liang's descendant, this title is too big, and he actually wants to serve himself as the master.

But then Zhao Xu rejected this idea. There are so many traversers.

Maybe Zhuge Liang can really see the future, just like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty, two masters and apprentices, compiled a book "Tui Bei Tu", some of which are highly respected in later generations.

Liu Ji of the Ming Dynasty was also Liu Bowen, and the "Song of Shaobing" was handed down. Some of the phenomena appeared later, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not see it.

There are still many such things, which means that there will always be some people who cannot be understood by ordinary people.

The name of Zhuge Liang's wisdom spread all over the world. Qimen Dunjia knew everything and was proficient in everything. Zhao Xu didn't find it strange that he could divination the future.

This Miao Xun, no, Zhuge Xun, a descendant of the Zhuge family, wants to fulfill the last wish of his ancestors, so this person is definitely not a mediocrity!
Do members of Zhuge's family just casually recognize others as masters?So Zhao Xu concluded that this guy must have great talent.

He originally wanted to recommend this person to Chai Rong, but was rejected by Miao Xun. He said that I only recognize the lord and not others.

Miao Xun was willing to be an envoy under Zhao Xu's account, that is, the person who advised Zhao Xu.

In the end, although Miao Xun was famous all over the world and became the first military division, he refused to accept the official position, saying that it was the rule of his ancestors.

You are really a strange person. People who join the army are nothing more than fame and fortune. If you recommend you to the emperor, then you will not be a great success.

But Miao Xun doesn't want fame or profit, is he really here to help me?
Regardless, Zhao Xu was confident that he could control this person anyway. Even if he had any intentions, he believed that he would not be able to turn up any trouble in his own hands.

In August of the second year of Zhou Xiande, Emperor Meng Chang of Later Shu was very annoyed at the capture of Mighty City a while ago, but the matter must be resolved, so he ordered Tong Zuo to send Yi Shenzheng to the front line to condolences to the front line soldiers on his behalf.

In fact, Yi Shenzheng followed Meng Chang's order to boost morale, and at the same time went to the front to supervise the battle.

In Li Tinggui's military tent!
At this time, everyone is Li Tinggui's confidantes, so there is nothing to worry about when everyone speaks.

"General, what is the emperor going to do? We have only lost one battle, and it is unfair to issue an edict to punish us."

"Yes, General, the emperor just doesn't believe us, and even sent someone to the front to supervise the battle. The last time he sent a villain, Zhao Jizha, this time, I don't know what it is."

"General, I think there are treacherous ministers around the emperor, otherwise why would he not trust us? Why didn't the emperor reward us vigorously when we won the battle, and punished us as soon as we lost a small battle."

……

The generals were talking all over the place, and they had everything they wanted to say. Fortunately, they were in the barracks, and they were all confidantes. Otherwise, if someone heard it, the imperial censor would definitely join him and intend to plot against him.

"That's enough. I'm so noisy. Why are you arguing? You still have a reason for losing the battle. What shame do you have to say? When His Majesty's imperial envoy arrives, everyone should be smarter."

These generals were promoted by Li Tinggui little by little, and he treated them like his nephews.

So usually when they make mistakes, Li Tinggui always scolds them loudly, they are not only angry, but feel warm in their hearts.

They are not perverted, but think so, it is Li Tinggui who regards them as his own!

It didn't take long before Yi Shengu came to the marching camp. Of course, he was not a waste like Zhao Jizha, and he knew nothing but asking for money.This Iraqi examiner has a certain degree of real talent and learning, and has discussed military deployment with Li Tinggui and the others for a long time.

With his excellent military art, he convinced Li Tinggui and other generals, but he didn't expect that the emperor's imperial envoy was also a capable person, not an idiot.

After some discussion, they decided on a strategy of splitting and encircling, and all the generals and schools were very satisfied with the result.

Splitting the encirclement is to divide into several groups and advance side by side, and then the multi-week army implements a policy of flanking.

According to the deployment, Li Tinggui is responsible for dispatching troops and generals. Li Tinggui is holding back his breath at this time. He is determined to defeat Zhou Jun in one fell swoop, and he will be ashamed.

He first dispatched his vanguard, Li Jin, the commander of the capital, to lead his troops to Malingzhai (now west of Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province), and he must do his best.

Second, he arranged for a group of troops who thought they were strange soldiers to go straight out of Xiegu, which is today's southwest of Meixian County, Shaanxi, hoping to enter Baijian (now Baishipu, northeast of Fengxian County, Shaanxi);

Thirdly, this is also the most important path. In fact, the other two paths are just a cover-up, but the real killing move is here.

Li Tinggui also specially arranged for Wang Luan, an envoy of the dyeing institute who was good at fighting, to lead 5000 elite soldiers out of Tangcang, and marched hurriedly to Huanghua Valley.

And a death order was issued, even if the horse ran to death, it must be rushed to Huanghua Valley in the shortest time.

Huanghua Valley is a small valley in the northeast of Fengzhou. The terrain here is flat, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The food road of the Zhou army passed through here, and occupying this place meant that the Zhou army's food road could be completely cut off.

Without food and grass, what else would their Zhou army fight, they would starve to death if they were hungry, and then they could reap the benefits of fishing.

Taking a step back, even if they have other food routes, we can cut off the Zhou army's retreat here.

Their calculations were really good. If the leading generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were idiots, it would be hard to say. Hou Shu's strategic intentions would definitely be realized.

In addition, there was no problem with their information, but the soldier who lost the information and woke up in the hotel saw that he had lost the information.

Knowing that he could not escape the guilt, he ran away.This gave Da Zhou a chance.

But will the generals of the Great Zhou be idiots?Needless to say, Wang Jing is a veteran of hundreds of battles.

Xiang Gong is also a fart in bed—a man capable of writing and martial arts. Zhao Kuangyin has made great military achievements in history, so how can his ability be poor.

And Zhao Xu, an elite from later generations, the classic battle examples of great leaders are enough for his reference.

Miao Xun, although there is no record in history, but since he is from the Zhuge family, it seems that he is not bad.

Needless to say the other generals and schools, Hou Zhou was invincible in all directions at the end of the Five Dynasties, how could there be a lack of discerning generals.

It's not that they are holding a pre-war "military meeting" here, they know the actions of Hou Shu.

After a series of intense discussions, a group of excellent generals who are familiar with the art of war quickly came up with a plan.

All the camps in the west deployed Wang Jing himself to lead the army to defend Maling Village and defend Li Jin's troops in Houshu. If possible, strive to wipe them out.

Zhao Kuangyin, the deputy commander of the Dianqian Division, led [-] of my [-] Fengxiang troops to fight against Baijian, and completely wiped out this group of strange soldiers.

The third road left was the Yellow Flower Valley. This place was specially requested by Zhao Xu. He led two thousand soldiers from his imperial military academy.

At the same time, Wang Jing sent Zhang Jianxiong to lead 2000 elite soldiers to serve under Zhao Xu's command. In fact, he was also afraid that Zhao Xu would not be able to withstand the Hou Shu army with these [-] troops.

Zhao Xu followed Miao Xun's suggestion and ordered Gao Huailiang to lead a number of imperial soldiers to detour to Tang Cang, set up an ambush on three sides, and cut off Wang Luan's return route.

Zhao Xu led the forbidden army he personally trained, and quickly occupied Huanghua Valley. This was not over. The forbidden army performed their duties and surveyed the surrounding terrain.

After a survey of the terrain, the trainees of the Forbidden Army began to disguise the Yellow Flower Valley. As long as the troops entered here, they would never return.

Miao Xun looked at these imperial guards and couldn't help feeling: "As expected of the elite of the Great Zhou, these must be veterans of many battles, my lord?"

Miao Xun shook his feather fan and said to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu laughed out loud when he heard that:

"Sir, don't you think that you have missed everything, this time you can miss it, they are the recruits I trained, and they have never been on the battlefield, hahaha."

Zhao Xu was very proud. The soldiers trained by his Forbidden Army Military Academy seemed to be about the same as the masters of a hundred battles. It all depended on their performance on the battlefield.

Miao Xun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't believe that these were recruits, only the ghosts believed that they were recruits.

It was only after Zhao Xu's explanation that he realized that his young lord had founded a forbidden military academy.

He has heard of government schools, and he has also heard of private schools. These are all for people to read and write. What is this military academy for?

Seeing that Miao Xun didn't understand these things, it was still early anyway, and Zhao Xu explained it to him slowly without being troublesome.

The extremely clever Miao Xun immediately understood the benefits of this military academy, which trains soldiers according to the standards of generals.

In the past, if a general of an army was killed by an enemy general, their own troops would definitely be in chaos.

Then the defeat is basically settled, but the army trained by my lord has not. Once a general falls, someone will immediately take his place temporarily.

Command the army to continue fighting, so that even if the system is broken, the army will not be chaotic. Such an army is simply terrifying.

It seems that my lord is really extraordinary, only extraordinary people are worthy of my assistance, the ancestors really did not misunderstand the person.

In September, Wang Luan finally led his troops to the Yellow Flower Valley. Seeing the silence of the Yellow Flower Valley, Wang Luan was also excited.

It seems that Zhou Jun hasn't arrived yet. Isn't this God asking him to make meritorious deeds?Those who waved their hands immediately entered the valley.

Before he woke up from his excitement, Zhao Xu's forbidden army had already surrounded them, facing the elite forbidden army.

The army of Hou Shu had no power to fight back and fled in all directions. The students of the Forbidden Army Military Academy were even more excited. This was their first battle, but they did not expect that they were so brave.

On average, each person killed at least two Shu soldiers, and some even killed more than a dozen. There were no casualties, only a few serious injuries and a dozen minor injuries.

This is not a casualty, it is a big victory.Zhang Jianxiong was taken aback by the line-up.

These thousand people are his mother's gods, all of them are gods of killing, and the army of Houshu was defeated before they even had a face-to-face meeting.

The Forbidden Army really deserves to be the Forbidden Army, and I want to fight to join the Forbidden Army, it looks like I am full of blood.

Wang Luan led the remnants and fled to Tangcang, thinking he could escape back, but he didn't expect to lose his life there...
