Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

At the beginning of May, upon hearing that the main force of the Khitan soldiers came, the various ministries of the Zhou army were laid out in the wilderness in the north of Zhuoshui, waiting for work.

Guo Shao’s cavalry is located in the rear army of the middle road, and it seems that he cannot participate in the battle...because he is not the main cavalry force, the first main cavalry force is the iron cavalry under Zhao Kuangyin; then Zhubanzhi.

When Shi Chai Rong rode in the center, the generals gathered around the emperor temporarily. Riding on a high horse, Chai Rong looked around at the generals and said: "The Northern Expedition is here! This victory will take all the land of the clouds. Everyone encourages!"

The generals bid farewell to each other, and one after another left the Chinese army and returned to the barracks.

When Guo Shao returned to the army, several Hu Jie army generals also gathered to speak, he had to say: "And wait for the result later."

After several years of preparation, the vigorous Northern Expedition finally reached the most critical step. But Guo Shao didn't need to bear any responsibility in this battle; this kind of field battle was the home of the cavalry, and it seemed to the emperor that he used it to attack the city.

Everyone had to get off the horses, in order to save horsepower, standing by the horses waiting in line. The horses hooves in front were roaring, and countless war horses were mobilizing. From a distance, Guo Shao felt as if he was on the African plains, and countless wild beasts were migrating.

The sound of fighting came from far away, but I couldn't see where the battlefield was, as if fighting was happening everywhere in the north.

In the afternoon, I saw numerous wounded carriages and horses transporting back from the main road. The fighting should be very tragic. The large cavalry soldiers approaching the Chinese Army did not move all day. In the evening, Guo Shao received an edict and all roads approached Zhuo Shui to camp.

That night, he and other generals went to the Chinese army camp again. Two generals were injured. One of them was wrapped in a white cloth with colored cloth. It should be Zhang Guanghan, the commander of the left side of the Long Jie army. Guo Shao was not with him. Cooked.

Zhang Yongde said in advance: "In today's battle, the strength of the Liao army is still there, and both wings attacked our army at the same time. There is a degree of advance and retreat, and there is no way to take advantage... The Liao army has more cavalry than us.

Zhao Kuangyin and others also had no intention to fight, and everyone did not rush to ask for a fight. Morale can be seen from the atmosphere.

Chai Rong's face was very bad, and he seemed to be angry. Blame the generals for not taking their lives, and want to personally lead the cavalry to fight tomorrow. Shi Yanchao immediately asked to fight as a forward, and Chai Rong did what he asked.

Early the next morning, the two armies fought again. Shi Yanchao led the cavalry into the Liao army formation from the middle road, and drove into the enemy camp, and saw the Liao cavalry on the plain like a vast ocean; the front army of the Liao army couldn't stop Shi Yanchao, so he turned around and cut off his back.

Most of the Zhou Jun Iron Cavalry, Crane Control Army, and Tiger Jie Army were forced to take the initiative to attack from the left and right wings to prevent Shi Yanchao from falling into the siege, and rushed back and forth until dusk. In the end, Shi Yanchao's subordinates lost more than half, almost losing combat effectiveness and returning without success.

That night, Guo Shao and other generals were called to the camp of the Chinese Army. Chai Rong's expression was already very depressed. It was difficult to describe his expression... as if he was ten years old suddenly.

Chai Rong made a decisive decision and ordered the army to retreat to Zhuoshui south tomorrow morning. He also ordered Guo Shao and Zhang Guanghan to return to Zhuozhou and Gu'an to deploy Zhuoshui coastal defense; let them respond to the army and block the Liao army from pursuing troops.

The situation is already very bad. It seems that Da Zhou and the Liao army did not seek any good in the decisive battle, and there is no hope of winning... Otherwise, with Chai Rong's mood, he would definitely not be willing to give up.

Early the next morning, Guo Shao, together with Zhang Guanghan, the left-wing capital of the Long Jie Army, left the battlefield and crossed Zhuo Shui, leading his army to build a camp on the river bank and deploy troops to wait.

Sure enough, it was the evening of the day. Suddenly, groups of horsemen were coming from the wilderness to the north. It was the main force of the Zhou army to retreat. Zhou Jun seemed to be taking the opportunity to leave the battlefield when the Liao army retreated when it was getting late... It was all soldiers on horseback, and the heavy vehicles were missing. It is estimated that most of them were thrown away.

...

After the armies of all roads crossed the Zhuoshui River, there were well-organized guards stationed on the river bank, and the troops were calm. The army was stationed from Zhuoshui'an, and the camp continued to Qigou Pass.

When they hurriedly retreated and escaped, the army caused chaos, and the morale of the army was low for a while. However, the Zhou dynasty did not suffer a loss, it took up a lot of space, and the main force did not suffer major losses.

It was night, and I didn't hear the news of the Liao army chasing soldiers. It was getting late, and the generals ordered to camp and rest on the spot, so as not to cause more chaos due to poor light.

In the Great Tent of the Iron Cavalry Army, Zhao Kuangyin asked the generals to return to the restrained men. Zhao Pu, the staff member, did not leave, and sat on one side without saying a word, there seemed to be something to say between his expressions. Kuang Yin stepped back and talked with Bing Zhuye.

"The Northern Expedition is really a pity, don't blame me for waiting and not working hard, there is really no good opportunity to make a breakthrough." Zhao Kuangyin said first.

Zhao Pu said solemnly: "The lord now is not the time to take care of the Northern Expedition... The officials have already had difficulty riding horses today, so they can survive the Zhuoshui by holding back."

When Zhao Kuangyin and others were not with the emperor, he couldn't help but let out a questioning tone.

Zhao Pu said: "After the tribes passed Zhuoshui, they tried their best to run south for fear that the Liao army would chase after night. But the official stopped at the river bank, I guess they just couldn't run..."

Zhao Kuangyin had no words.

"Guo Shao and the Zhao family have a deep grievance. He is Empress Fu's person and married the Queen's sister. Therefore, Empress Fu and the lord are not the same." Zhao Pu whispered, wearing his head on the candle. The shadow cast on the tent, it seemed like ghosts were shaking in the dim light, and the atmosphere was very gloomy.

He continued: "The lord is a general in front of the palace, and he must not be trusted by the queen. The situation in the future is critical and must be observed."

Zhao Kuangyin remained silent, and Zhao Pu didn't need to say about these joints, he knew it already. There is nothing to do with the other party just for a while.

At this moment, Zhao Pu said: "I have a plan. Didn't Guo Shao lead the tiger and the Czech army to guard Zhuoshui? The lord could enter the official house and let Guo Shao stay in the bridgehead north of the Juma River. Guard in Zhuozhou, don't let him return to Beijing."

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he immediately became interested. He didn't say a word just now, and he suddenly said: "Zhuozhou has no risk to rely on, so it's not easy to keep it long."

Zhao Pu said: "The strength of the Zhou army has not been greatly damaged, and the time for the expedition is not too long. I guess the officials are still unwilling, but now the army has no desire to fight and will not continue the Northern Expedition... but he must still be thinking about it. Youzhou.

The lord can say something, UU reading www. uukanshu.com will retreat temporarily, and after I take a rest from the imperial army, I will choose another good opportunity to march northward for the second time. The official family would be very happy to hear that the lord supported him in the Northern Expedition! At this time, you said that Zhuozhou should hold on first, which can directly threaten Youzhou and reduce the setbacks of the second Northern Expedition. Most officials will listen to you. "

Zhao Pu's voice became smaller and smaller, and he whispered: "The one who the queen is blocking in the Forbidden Army is Guo Shao, who is married to the Fu family. As long as Guo Shao is not in Tokyo, the situation is good for us and harmless; no matter what we plan to do in the future. , Have to be much more calm."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, and suddenly felt that Zhao Pu had come up with a good idea...This method is very low cost and almost no risk; it is a good idea to be able to draw a salary from the bottom!

The staff were right. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde had previously persuaded the emperor not to rush forward in order to cherish the military strength of the Zhou dynasty, but the emperor’s dedication to the Northern Expedition was very troublesome; this time, if he expressed his attitude to support the second Northern Expedition, his generals would say so. The emperor will be happy.

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and felt that this plan was easy to succeed and very feasible. I couldn't help brushing Zhao Pu's back at the moment, and said cordially: "I lost a brother, but I often treat you as my own brother." rg
