The last three kingdoms

Chapter 870
Fu Qian's goal was Hu Yanlang. When he set up an ambush on the city, he had already arranged hundreds of elite crossbowmen. As long as Hu Yanlang was within a stone's throw away from the city, he would never give him any help. chance of escape.

As a result, Hu Yanlang committed suicide and ran to the city to call for the door. When he found out that the Shu army had occupied Jiuyuan City and wanted to escape, he had nowhere to go. He was the best shooter among the hundreds of Shu troops. When the crossbowmen greeted him with their arrows, it was already doomed to his death.

Hu Yanlang was shot to death by random arrows, and even the Xiongnu soldiers who were close to him also suffered, and fell to the ground one after another.However, the Xiongnu soldiers who were a little further away were much luckier. The bows and arrows of the Shu army did not specifically target them.

Although the Shu army did not chase after Kaesong, these Huns had already been frightened, and they did not dare to stay any longer, and they left in a hurry, regardless of the fatigue of the men and horses.

Naturally, Fu Chen didn't care about the thousands of Hun soldiers fleeing. This time, he set up an ambush in Jiuyuan to snipe Hu Yanlang, and Fu Chen was very satisfied with his success. As for the pursuit of Kaesong?Most of the Shu army is infantry. How can they catch up with the cavalry of the Huns?

Soon, several other groups of troops also rushed to Jiuyuan. Except for the flanks of the Longxi Army that blocked Huyanlang's escape route to the west and did not participate in the battle, the other three armies performed well in the Battle of Xinkou, especially as the main attacker. The Wudang Flying Army fought even more impressively, and they were also the first army to break through the Xinkou Pass.

Fu Qian was discussing meritorious deeds in the Chinese army camp, and Zhang Le naturally stood at the top. With his meritorious service in this battle, the other generals naturally could not compete with him. Who am I.

However, Fu Qian ignored him. The first one to praise was Zhao Zhuo, who gave Zhao Zhuo the first credit, followed by Zhuge Shang and Ma Rong, and even Deng Zhong, who had never fought a battle, also shared a share of the credit.

Zhang Le was deeply baffled. It stands to reason that Xinkou Pass was defeated by himself first, so there was no reason for Fu Qian not to know.

"Fu Dudu, this..." Zhang Le wanted to leave after seeing Fu Qian's meritorious service, so he hurried forward and said.

Fu Qian's face turned cold, and he said to Zhang Le: "Zhang Le, do you think you have made great achievements in this battle?"

Zhang Le usually has a hippie smile on his face, but seeing Fu Chen's serious expression now, the few witty words he wanted to say have been swallowed back in his stomach, and he said in a low voice: "The last general dare not take credit for it, but Xinkou Pass was indeed captured by the Wudang Army first..."

Fu Qian snorted coldly, and said, "Zhang Le, it's fine for you to be a little careless at ordinary times, but on the battlefield, any negligence may lead to irreversible consequences. Today at Xinkou Pass, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhuo leads the troops to rescue, I am afraid that the golden signboard of Wudang Feijun will fall into your hands. If Wudangjun hadn’t taken Xinkou Pass first today, today I will definitely punish you for a crime of dereliction of duty. You go back and give I will reflect on it carefully and hand in a letter of repentance, if the writing is not good, this general of the army will not be appointed for the time being."

Zhang Le did not expect that Fu Qian would pursue this matter. In fact, Zhang Le was indeed a little negligent at the time, so he was successfully countered by the Huns, but the consequences were not serious. In the predicament, he did not collapse, but fought to the death with the Huns. Secondly, Zhao Zhuo rescued them in time, and the two armies cooperated with each other. On the contrary, the Shu army killed a lot of Huns soldiers, and at that time the losses were overturned. Doubly chased back.

But Fu Qian was relentless about this, not only offsetting the merits and demerits, but also wiped out Zhang Le's first contribution, and asked Zhang Le to write a deep review, Zhang Le could only promise with a bitter face , retreated.

Qianhong said to Fu Qian: "Did the governor be a little harsh on Ziyue? In fact, the Wudang army fought very well in this battle. They were the first to take down Xinkou Pass. Even if they were attacked by the Huns, There is not much loss, even if there is a fault, it is more meritorious than the fault."

Fu Qian said in a deep voice: "Wudang Army fought really well, but we must not cover up Zhang Le's fault just because they played well. Just imagine, if Zhao Zhuo hadn't rescued in time, the consequences would be disastrous. Wudang Fei The army is a banner of our Han army. It has experienced hundreds of battles and made great achievements in battle. It is because of this that it is inevitable to breed arrogance and complacency. A lesson, Zhang Le really needs to beat it hard, he is good at leading troops in battle, but he is usually used to laxity and complacency, if he can't sharpen it well, it will be difficult to become a general."

Qianhong said with deep conviction: "Zhang Le is the successor of Marquis Zhang, but he has the style of his ancestors. If he polishes it well, he can become a famous general of his generation."

After the Shu army captured Xinkou and Jiuyuan, they didn't take much rest and quickly moved south.

After arriving in Jiuyuan, Fu Qian obtained more detailed information. At present, the Shu Army's Central Army has achieved great victories in Jiexiu. The enemy has conquered the cities of Zhongyang, Zishi, Pingtao, and Daling, and has already arrived at Qianyang City.And the Yanghu Division of the Jin Army on the East Road also successively captured Qixian and Yangyi cities. Although they failed to capture Yuci, an important town, the Jin army has already crossed Fenshui by force and joined Liu Yin's army. Liu Yuan of Yangyang formed a situation of encirclement.

If Fu Qian can rush to Jinyang as soon as possible, then he can form a three-way siege of Jinyang City from the north, southeast, and southwest with the troops of Liu Yin and Yang Hu, which will play a role in completely eliminating the Huns. key role.

With such a fighter, Fu Qian dared not have any delays. On the one hand, he sent people to get in touch with Liu Yin, on the other hand, he accelerated the speed of the march, advanced south, and launched an attack on Yangqu County in the north of Jinyang.

Yangqu County is already the last barrier to the north of Jinyang. As long as the Shu army takes Yangqu County, they can come to Jinyang City.Facing the two armies of Jin and Shu in the south, Liu Yuan was obviously stretched and lacking in strength. He could only concentrate the main force on the southern line to deal with the crisis on the southern line. On the side of Yangqu City, Liu Yuan also I really can't take care of it.

Therefore, it was very easy for Fu Qian to attack Yangqu County, and he took down Yangqu City almost effortlessly. The 7 troops of the Shu Army were in the north of Jinyang.
