Chapter 676: Cutting Down No Way with a Way
Bu Liuguli's official title is really too scary, even if he leans towards the government and the opposition, even if he uses the newly supported emperor Tuoba Huang as a puppet, he can't look so ugly, right?
The ministers in the court did not come back to their senses for a while, and the official positions and titles of Buliu Guli were far from being as good as those of Yi Yin, Huo Guang, and Cao Cao in history.
At this time, the ministers saw Dongfang Chen stand up and salute and said: "The king, the princess, the ministers have the courage to speak, Buliu Guli pretended to raise troops in the name of the Qing monarch's side, in fact, it has the purpose of stealing the imperial power, he let his soldiers and horses slaughter in Pingcheng, forced the emperor to death, killed the minister, and set up a child as a puppet, the ambition of seizing the authority of the world has been revealed, the minister thinks that my country should issue a document, raise troops to fight, and there is no way to fight with the way, this battle will be won!" β
At this time, the ministers also came back to their senses one by one, and they all stood up and suggested to Zhao Junsheng to send troops to attack Buliu Guli and safeguard the righteousness of the world.
Hua Mulan said at this time: "The army to reinforce Pingcheng has been set off for five days, but there are only more than 10,000 people, so if you want to crusade against Buliu Guli, I am afraid that there will be a little less!" β
Zhao Junsheng immediately asked, "Where is Wei Chiyan in the east now?" β
Cao Jiao stood up and replied: "King, yesterday Wei Chi Yandong also sent someone back to Beijing to report, and the minister speculated that they should be about to arrive at the Flying Fox by now!" β
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and ordered: "Spread the will of Gu, give Wei Chi Yandong an order, let him stop advancing in Flying Fox, and wait for the follow-up army to come and converge before making plans!" β
"Yes!"
At this time, Cui Hao stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggested ordering Gao Xiu to lead the army to withdraw, lift the containment of the captain's family, and turn around to attack Huguan halfway!" At the same time, he ordered Gao Xu, who was stationed in Dongle, to lead his army south to attack Takayanagi! The imperial court sent another 50,000 troops to the Flying Fox and Wei Chi Yandong to converge, and after the convergence, the Flying Fox went straight to Pingcheng! In this way, the three-way army is attacked from the east, south, and north, and Buliu Guli will not be able to resist! β
Gao Yun stood up and said: "The minister thinks that this battle should be fast, and he will not give the Southern Dynasty and the Rouran people a chance to send troops to contain them, as long as our army is fast enough, the overall situation will be decided by the time they react!" β
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and agreed to the suggestions of the ministers, and immediately issued an edict ordering Gao Xiu to return to the division, and attacked Huguan halfway; He also ordered Gao Xu to send troops south to attack Gaoliu from Dongele, and Zhao Junsheng decided to personally lead an army of 50,000 to attack Buliu Guli this time.
Zhao Junsheng also ordered Cao Jiao and Chang Kun to guard Qianjing, and ordered Dongfang Chen, Gao Yun, Li Song and other cadres to handle government affairs.
The night before the expedition, Mulan asked Zhao Junsheng with a big belly: "How long will this battle last?" β
Zhao Junsheng said: "I can't say, if it's fast, it can end the war in a month, if it's slow, it may take three or five months, but don't worry, I will try not to give Buliu Guli a chance to delay time, and strive to return before you give birth to the third child!" β
Hua Mulan couldn't help but say, "Don't let our whole family go together, we haven't been to Pingcheng for many years!" β
"What do you say, how can you stand a long march with a big belly? In case the child in the belly has three long and two short, it is too late to regret it! Be nice, obedient, I'll be back soon! β
Hua Mulan pouted: "You coax me!" β
Although he couldn't bear to be separated, he still had to be separated for a short time after all, and in the early morning of the next day, Hua Mulan put on a battle robe for Zhao Junsheng, hung up a war knife, put on armor, and stood outside the palace gate to watch the Dragon Guards escort him to the camp outside the city.
As soon as the sky was dark, the army of 50,000 set out, and many people in Qianjing did not know the news, and it was not until a few days after the departure of the army that the news spread.
When the king travels, the pomp must be large, otherwise it will not reflect the majesty of the king.
Among the 50,000 troops, there are countless banners, and there are more than 1,000 eunuchs accompanying them, who will be responsible for Zhao Junsheng's clothing, food, housing and transportation on the way to the battle.
In order to catch up with the speed, the 50,000-strong army marched 100 miles a day, and a few days later, the army converged with the 10,000-strong horses of Wei Chi Yandong at Feihu.
After setting up camp, Wei Chi Yandong came to meet him.
"The minister delays the east to meet the king!"
Zhao Junsheng turned around from the map and looked at Wei Chi Yandong, and raised his hand: "Excuse me!" Wei Chi, let's talk about the situation on the other side of the Flying Fox Sect, how many soldiers and horses did Bu Liu Guli deploy outside the exit of the Flying Fox Sect? β
Wei Chi Yandong hugged his fists and replied: "Back to the king, the minister sent spies in the army out of the flying fox and went all the way to Pingcheng to investigate, but no heavy soldiers were found along the way, and the defenders of the counties along the way still did not increase or decrease as before!" β
"No additions or subtractions?" Zhao Junsheng was stunned.
"Yes, there is no increase or decrease in the defenders of the counties along the way!"
Zhao Junsheng thought about it and understood, Buliu Guli obviously didn't want to disperse his troops and be annihilated by the cadres, "It seems that Buliu Guli wants to fight Guli under Pingcheng City!" Liang Yi, you go and give orders to all the armies, make a fire and cook tomorrow, and set off at the end of the day! β
"Yes!" Liang Yi promised that he was eighteen years old this year, and he had grown into a young man, and his martial arts had also grown quite a little after his father Liang Lian's teaching.
The next day, the army passed through the Flying Fox Pass and entered the territory of the Pingcheng Imperial Court, and as Wei Chi Yandong said, the defenders of the counties along the way were relatively small.
The officials and defenders of these counties saw such a huge momentum of the cadres and knew that they could not resist it, so they opened the gates of the city one after another to accept it.
Zhao Junsheng was not in a hurry, and while not affecting the speed of the march, he sent a small number of troops to receive the city, and he did not plan to return these acquired territories.
Even if they received a few cities along the way, it didn't affect the speed of the march in the slightest.
Three days later, the army crossed the Sangqian River and reached the north bank and entered the Yangyuan territory.
"Newspaperβ"
The spies from the front came to report, "King, Buliu Guli led an army of 50,000 to meet the battle, only thirty miles away from our army!" β
After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng unfolded the map and looked at it, turned his head and ordered Gao Jin: "Gao Jinzhi, give you 1,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry to attack Yangyuan City, and report as soon as you succeed!" β
"Command!" Gao Jinzhi hugged his fists and agreed, and quickly headed for five thousand men and horses in the direction of Yangyuan City, which was more than ten miles away in the north.
"Order the army to speed up the march, and we will rush to the northwest ten miles away to seize the advantageous terrain!"
Half an hour later, Zhao Junsheng arrived at a hilly area east of Yangyuan City with more than 55,000 people and seized a higher place.
Buliu Guli's spies had also judged Zhao Junsheng's intentions from the direction of the Qianjun's march and immediately reported to Buliu Guli.
Buliu Guli originally planned to enter Yangyuan City, just south of Yangyuan City and fight a decisive battle with the cadre army, if he relied on Yangyuan City, he would have a geographical advantage, but now Zhao Junsheng took the lead to occupy a favorable terrain in front of him.
"Command the army to stop advancing and set up camp!" After hearing the spies' report, Bu Liu Guli decided to work steadily and steadily, not to be greedy for merit.
It was obviously unwise for Buliu Guli to take the initiative to attack the cadres who occupied the advantageous position at this time, so he chose to stop advancing and set up camp, and it was also unwise for Zhao Junsheng to attack Buliu Guli with a tired army with a long march at this time, so he chose to quickly seize a piece of high ground, and neither side took the initiative to attack.
Waiting for the follow-up baggage to arrive, Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered to set up camp.
In the evening, Gao Jinzhi sent someone to report that he had led his army to capture Yangyuan.
Cui Hao smiled and said to Zhao Junsheng: "King, this Gao Jinzhi also has some ability, and it took less than half a day to capture Yangyuan."
Zhao Junsheng said: "That's natural, how to say that he is also Gao Jinzhi who is compared to one of Guan Zhang by the world!" Mr. Cui, how do you think this battle should be fought? β
Cui Hao touched his beard and said: "King, our army is not afraid of a head-on battle, but the minister is a little worried that Buliu Guli may send a partial division to raid the flank of our army!" β
Zhao Junsheng said: "The south is the Sangqian River, and if he wants to send a partial division to raid the flank of our army, he can only come from the northΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Cui Hao shook his head and said, "Otherwise! As far as the minister knows, there is a bridge to cross the Sangqian River more than 20 miles upstream from this place, and if our country is not prepared, they may have copied our back from the place where we crossed the river before! β
Zhao Junsheng touched his chin and said: "Hearing you say this, I seem to remember that there is indeed such a bridge, the river crossed by the bridge I took when I went to Youzhou to take office!" How does Cui Gong think he should prevent it? β
Cui Hao thought for a while and said: "It's better to leave 3,000 cavalry to set up an ambush where our army crosses the river, and Buliu Guli doesn't send a partial division to sneak attack the back of our army, if he really sends troops to come, discipline them if they come back!" β
Zhao Junsheng asked: "Since he can send troops to attack my back, why can't I send troops to attack his flank?" How about our army sending a partial division to attack it from the north? β
Cui Hao's face was serious, and he arched his hand and said: "King, now my Qianguo is a righteous army to defeat the Daoless army, and the strength of our army is only stronger than the Daoless army, not weaker, there is no need to sneak around, and it is completely possible to fight with it head-on in an open and honest manner!" If Buliu Guli leads the army to retreat, the morale will inevitably plummet, and our army can take advantage of the situation to pursue; If he fights our army head-on, he will only be strong in the outside and lack of confidence, and our army will definitely win! β
Zhao Junsheng thought so after hearing this, and immediately ordered the soldiers to rest after a full meal, and raised their mental and physical strength, and sent troops to fight with Buliu Guli early tomorrow morning, and sent Wei Jing and Lu Shuang to lead 3,000 men and horses to cross the river to ambush.
Zhao Junsheng let these two boys lead the troops is also to consider the two of them, these two people do have the potential to be generals, leading the troops are quite disciplined, although the behavior can not get rid of the young impatience and frivolity, but after all, they know the priority of the matter, and they dare not laugh at the moment of the war, after getting the order, these two people immediately returned to the river with soldiers and horses to set up an ambush.
Late that night, Buliu Guli really sent 3,000 cavalry to cross the Sangqian River from the upstream, and then crossed the river downstream to attack the back of the Qian's army.
Zhao Junsheng received the battle report sent by Lu Shuang and Wei Jing, and after reading it, he said to the generals and officials with a smile: "These two boys fought well in the first battle, they didn't let go of one, and they wiped out all the enemies who came to attack, which is not a little water!" β
The generals and officials of the army said: "Congratulations to the king for winning the talents of two generals!" β
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Okay, it's not too early, you guys go back to rest and rest, and fight with Buliu Guli early tomorrow morning!" β
"Yes!"
Early the next morning, the cadres and soldiers were well fed one by one, and after assembling, under the order of Zhao Junsheng, the front, the left, right, and the five central divisions advanced westward together.
