Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Help Brother Li!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted. A group of brothers stepped forward and hugged Li Jixun, some grabbed him by the arm, some grabbed his hand, and then took the sword off.

Li Jixun looked at the only remaining defeated generals around him with grief and anger. He sighed: "Li Yun, who is waiting for the younger generation to kill my eldest son, I will bear it. But the result is still such a terrible defeat. What a face is there to live!"

He looked up and saw that there were endless mountains in front of him. In the early winter, the mountains were desolate, and the cold wind roared in the miserable valley, as if there was no hope in the way forward.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly persuaded: "This victory or defeat is not because Brother Li is inferior to others, nor is it that Guo Shao is clever, and the strength in his hands is different. Brother Li is 20,000 people (and other local courages and civilian husbands are even less effective), Guo Shao It is also 20,000. But the people in Guo Shao's hands are elites left over from the Southern and Northern Wars of several dynasties, and are supported by national finances and taxes; besides 20,000, he has horses. That kind of marching speed. , At least drew a small half of the entire imperial army. Twenty thousand and twenty thousand are completely different strengths and cannot be regarded solely by the number of people.

With regard to the troops Guo Shao uses, the national power consumed by a soldier is at least five times that of a local soldier, only a lot more. Therefore, Brother Li is subject to all aspects of maneuverability and combat power, which is beyond human control. "

Li Jixun sighed: "The first emperor has just died. He can quickly stabilize Tokyo and mobilize heavy troops. He can also attack suddenly at this time. I always feel that it is not just luck... Maybe I will be defeated in the army. !"

Zhao Kuangyin's black face was quite embarrassing, and Li Jixun was forced to rise up because he was one of the ten brothers of Yishe. It's better now, he is in a situation with himself, and the strength in his hand has lost his energy.

It was also broken to help Li Jixun blow up the wall. Guo Shao's servant could blow up, but Zhao Kuangyin did it like that... It really was like a mountain. Zhao Kuangyin wondered if he hadn't paid attention to sealing. Only then did he remember the opening in front of the firework, and the gunpowder was also rushing into the opening. He finally figured out the reason based on life experience; however, time was tight and he really didn't pay attention to such things.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw Li Jixun looking into the distance, he also watched the mountains and rivers. Zhao Pu said, "Heaven will surrender the great responsibility", "Who do you want me," and so on. He thought it was fateful, but at this time he felt that the big things in his heart seemed to be drifting away.

"Only go to vote for Li Chongjin. After seeing Li Chongjin, Brother Li should not blame him for slowing and delaying his actions, which only addictive." Zhao Kuangyin persuaded, "No matter how bad Li Chongjin is, he is still a general who came from Dazhou. As the ruler of the Northern Han Dynasty, once we find that we don’t have much value, who cares about us?"

...

"Where did Li Zhong enter?" Guo Shao asked in the Jinzhou City Hall.

Murong Yanzhao said, "Yesterday's investigation report was in the shade."

Guo Shao buried his head and looked at it. The place name Yindi was not marked on the map. His drawing was drawn from the archives of the Privy Council and based on the descriptions of the side newspapers in Hedong. It was very rough. The imperial court has not prepared to deal with the Northern Han Dynasty in recent years, and the preparations for this expedition are very inadequate.

"Where is it?" Guo Shao asked.

Murong Yanzhao said: "Along the Fen River northward, it is estimated to be more than 100 miles." Guo Shao asked in detail: "More than a hundred, how much?"

Murong Yanzhao shouted: "Come here, call Jinzhou Governor and Changshi together!"

Guo Shao is not unusual about this. Murong Yanzhao is also a bit famous in the Zhou Dynasty and is considered a good general, but the good generals of this era will not be so clear about the terrain that is too far away. They don't pay attention to details.

"Second brother." Guo Shao said, "You go to the army now, and first distribute Li Jixun's surrendered and confiscated dry food to the armed forces; we are running out of wheat cakes, so let's replenish some military rations. Li Gu has not yet arrived in Jinzhou. , But Li Jixun’s camp seized a lot of food, and our supply is not a problem right now."

Upon seeing this, Xiang Gong asked, "Dashuai Guo is ready to take the initiative to attack Li Chongjin?"

Guo Shao pondered and did not answer.

Not long after, a group of Jinzhou civil officials came to the line, and Guo Shao asked Murong Yanzhao to call in the Jinzhou army scout generals who reported the military situation. He asked carefully, where is the terrain, where is the town, and how far the distance is.

Zuo You and others are used to Guo Shao's style, but Jinju Civil and Martial Arts may find it strange. Guo Shao didn't say anything about the art of war, and he was there to play out all the details. While drawing pictures, scribbled the descriptions of the people.

Guo Shao almost figured out the general situation of the terrain, climate, and population density in front of him. There is a corridor from Jinju along Fenshui, with the Luliang Mountain Range to the west and Taiyue Mountain to the east. The valleys two hundred and fifty miles north from Jinzhou are all hills, and the road is not too easy to walk. Fortunately, the hills between the two mountains are relatively low; after more than two hundred miles, it enters the southern plain of Taiyuan. The terrain over there is very flat.

"One hundred miles north of Yindi is Fenzhou, which is heavily guarded by the Northern Han Army." Murong Yanzhao reminded.

After listening, Guo Shao took a ruler to measure on the map, drew a circle, and wrote Fenzhou. On the one hand, he said: "No matter how heavy Fenzhou is, it will not be the main force of the Northern Han Army. The main force of the Northern Han Dynasty should be in Taiyuan. From Taiyuan to the Yindi where Li Zhongjin is located, three hundred and eighty li, as long as Li Chongjin does not go south with the Northern Han Army. Too late to rescue Li Zhongjin."

The information is still incomplete, which is completely different from his preparations when attacking Qin Feng; now he only knows a general idea, and many things rely on guesswork.

"Li Zhongjin Department is on the east side of Fenshui?" Guo Shao took the trouble to confirm. Although there is almost no need to ask about such matters, Li Chongjin came from Liaozhou in the southern part of the Northern Han Dynasty; Jinzhou is also on the east bank of Fenshui. Li Chongjin was originally to reinforce Jinzhou, and of course he should march from the east bank. But Guo Shao still has to ask.

The general of the scout camp said: "It's on the east bank."

Shi Yanchao and other generals looked at Guo Shao, waiting for his decision.

Guo Shao couldn't help the temptation of military exploits now, but he was still very cautious. His eyes were full of complex emotions of excitement, desire and restraint, and he asked in a deep voice, "Can you attack Li Chongjin?"

Shi Yanchao couldn't wait to say: "I've left for a thousand miles, and I'm afraid that I will go another one hundred and fifty miles, so stop!"

Archway towards the archway: "The Yindi is close to the Northern Han Dynasty, and the north is a Pingchuan maneuvering quickly. Li Zhongjin knows that Li Jixun is defeated, and he is likely to retreat; if he retreats back, he will be the boundary of Fenzhou. Zhou Junruo catches up to the Northern Han Dynasty, pay attention to the North Han army's preparedness ."

"Xiangjieshuai is very true." Murong Yanzhao also reminded, "After all, Dashuai Guo has only 20,000 people. If he confronts the Northern Han Army now, he will be a bit hasty. But the Northern Han Dynasty has been standing still a while ago, and he may not be able to meet him. Sure."

Shi Yanchao said: "The rebels are vulnerable. Li Zhongjin is not much better than Li Jixun, so he solved him in a long time. After the battle is over, the Bei Han dare to chase Jinzhou to fight against Da Zhou? The Khitan people have been wiped out seven or eight times long ago."

Guo Shao felt that the North Han army was not as unbearable as Shi Yanchao said. Back then, Chai Rong mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Taiyuan, but he was unsuccessful. At that time, the Khitan only dispatched a few thousand riders to Xinkou for reinforcements... but now the North Han Dynasty. Lord Liu Jun's performance is indeed not as bold as his predecessor.

Guo Shao calmed down and ignored the comments of the generals, and once again pondered the map and some information he had just drawn. People are prone to make mistakes when faced with emotional influences such as temptation and anger. Guo Shao wanted to do it a long time ago, but another voice reminded: The rebels cannot afford to lose, and he cannot afford to lose.

"So..." Guo Shao finally said, "Xiang Jieshuai and Murong Jieshuai lent their horses to the Imperial Army. Shi Yanchao and other cavalrymen have two horses, which are used for riding and fighting separately; the infantry marches on horseback. The whole army is lightly outfitted. Xing brought only five days of food, and sent troops tomorrow morning, and arrived in the Yindi before noon the day after tomorrow. Pursue Li Zhongjin to fight with him!"

Guo Shao turned his head to the archway again: "In case, I mean in case the war is not going so smoothly, after you receive my military order, bring Jinzhou soldiers and civilians along the Fen River to carry grain north for reinforcements. Prepare some ships and send them together. Come up, prepare to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river if necessary... Zuo You, in a moment you will find a few people, take my seal to Jiezhou, and order Li Gu to stop delivering food. Li Jixun’s seizure is enough for us."

Xiang Gong clasped his fist and said: "The last general takes the command."

Guo Shao said to Shi Yanchao: "General Shi was extremely brave and sharp, and he was still a forward in the battle against Li Zhongjin; I borrowed you from the general's Zhen'an Army horse, and returned him after winning."

Shi Yanchao clasped his fist and said: "Take Ling!"

In the afternoon, Guo Shao summoned the above dozens of military commanders and envoys to the hall to arrange military affairs. With Shi Yanchao as the forward, the horse soldiers of Dong Zunxun's army used Murong Yanzhao's Jinzhou army horses as horses. Then, the next marching sequence was to control cranes. Horseback infantry such as the bow and arrow straight and the Second Army of the Tiger's Left Side followed, but the left side of the Tiger's left wing, except for Dong Zunxun's department, did not have enough horses and went to the last.

Throughout the afternoon, Jinju was rectifying its troops and preparing for the war.

In the evening, Guo Shao rode to the barracks to patrol, and saw the smoke from the camp in the city ~ www.readwn.com ~ all the army were cooking. He walked into a camp, and the soldiers who were sitting around the rocky stove stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Meet Dashuai Guo at the low-level class."

"After eating dry food for more than ten days, I finally had a warm meal tonight." Guo Shao said, "You guys have worked hard for the country and worked hard."

A young man dared to say: "I fought Dashuai Guo from Qin Feng. I can always win with you. This bit of pain is not a big deal. Go back and receive the reward."

"Haha..." everyone laughed.

With a smile on his face, Guo Shao picked up his spoon and looked at the cooking in the pot. He turned around and said, "There is also bacon, haha."

After that, he said, "The soup is good. The wheat cakes sent to me were **** and smelly."

Guo Shao looked back at Yang Biao. Yang Biao said, "Some cakes are collected from the dead on the battlefield. Good food can't be thrown away."

"Yes, we will just eat it. The common people may not be able to eat dry cakes during the New Year holidays." Guo Shao said kindly, "We are licking blood with a knife. What is blood?" r1058()
