Chapter 875 I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry
This time the grain cut plan was formulated by Chang'an himself, which means that this battle must be fought in strict accordance with the order. Starting tomorrow, His Highness will divide his troops to garrison in the vicinity of Fengxiang Mansion to attract the attention of the rebels, and after the rebels on the Huayin side have transferred the main force to the west to defend, you will raid Juxian. If, within five days, the rebels show no signs of troop transfer, the plan to sneak attack Juxian will be cancelled, and you will also withdraw safely with your soldiers and horses, and you must not force your come, you know? ”
Yang Zhi was originally very excited, but after listening to Lin Chong's words, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head, isn't it just a county, how can you ask for so much? However, a military order is a military order, and Yang Zhi didn't want to give up this opportunity to lead the troops, so he could only nod and agree. Hezhong Fu is ready, Chang'an has been carried out step by step, this day just after the hour, stationed between Xianyang and Chang'an Ye Jingtang and Chang'an between Xiao Yue's department, without warning, suddenly the whole army assembled, towards the southwest, at the same time, the three battalions of Nanya, a total of more than 30,000 people, under the leadership of Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun, left Chang'an, approached to the south, and the front of the army pointed directly at Huayin County. It can be said that the series of actions of Ding **** was too sudden, and there was no sign of large-scale troop transfer before, and as soon as Ding **** moved, nearly 80,000 rebels stationed near Huayin immediately tensed their nerves.
Huayin Temporary Mansion, all the Chai generals hurriedly came to the hall, Chai Keyan had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as everyone sat down, they began to communicate with each other, and some people had a trace of panic on their faces. Ding**** large-scale troop transfer, the most annoying is Chai Jin, before Chai Jin suggested to start in advance, to the west to occupy Fengxiang Mansion, now it's okay, his side is timid, but let Ding **** react, once the **** heavy troops gather in Fengxiang Mansion, then there is no good way on their side. Chai was able to break through Fenglingdu in one fell swoop and break into the pass without much effort, Chai Yonghao was definitely the biggest hero. Now Chai Yonghao's prestige in the army can be said to be in full swing, to say that Chai Jin is not jealous, it is false. Chai Jin has always been a person with strong self-esteem, he thinks that his ability is no worse than Chai Yonghao, if you want to talk about his background, the identity of the royal bloodline is far stronger than Chai Yonghao's distant relatives, but he has been crushed by Chai Yonghao in the army. Fengxiang Mansion is definitely a good opportunity for him to enter, if he can win Fengxiang Mansion in one fell swoop, it will definitely be a great merit, but unfortunately, the final plan fell through. Listening to the communication of everyone around him, Chai Jin frowned, and said thoughtfully, "Queen Mother, judging from the movement of Xiao Yue's army, most of them are heading towards Fengxiang Mansion, and Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun in the north sent troops together, which seems to be to contain our army." However, the last general didn't think so, Xiao Yue's army may not really want to garrison Fengxiang Mansion, it may also be a bait, wanting to lure us to send troops to intercept it, and then Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun will have a chance to cut off my army. ”
Chai Jin's concerns are not unreasonable, in fact, Chai Keyan also thought of this, judging from the previous performance of Chang'an, he didn't mean to defend Fengxiang Mansion at all, and seemed to want to use Fengxiang Mansion to lure his side to stretch the front. Since Chang'an has such a plan, why did it suddenly send troops, there is obviously something wrong with this. Therefore, Chai Jin's concerns are true, using one side of the soldiers and horses as bait, and the other side of the soldiers and horses to cooperate with the interception, this kind of trick of Ming Xiu plank road to secretly Chen Cang has been used countless times. In normal times, it's good to ignore it, but this time, Chai Keyan decided to take the opportunity to play a dozen, after all, Guanzhong is a fixed **** territory, and if it is delayed indefinitely, the good situation achieved before will be gone, so it is better to take this opportunity to play a dozen, maybe you can play an unexpected result. Moreover, Chai Keyan has always had a worry in her heart, always feeling that Zhao Yougong is ambushing and killing in other places, which makes her even more reluctant to stalemate in Guanzhong, if she can't make progress in a short time, she would rather retreat to Fenglingdu than give **** a chance, "Well, what you said makes sense, and I am also worried about this later, so do you have any other thoughts next?" ”
Chai Keyan smiled encouragingly at Chai Jin, and after receiving Chai Keyan's praise, Chai Jin became more angry, and immediately raised his voice and said, "The last general thinks that this is an opportunity for Ding****, why not a good opportunity for us?" If our two sides continue to stalemate like this, with our strong combat power and a deep foundation in Guanzhong, even if we have an absolute superiority in troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to make any breakthroughs. It is better to take this opportunity to see if we can find some breakthroughs, Xiao Yue's army marched towards Fengxiang Mansion, we can completely transfer troops to gather Lingtai Mountain, and as soon as Xiao Yue's army arrives, we can diagonally insert the official road of Fengxiang Mansion from the north of Lingtai Mountain to block the way for Xiao Yue's army to advance. Now although Fengxiang Mansion has 3,000 defenders under the command of Xie Zhen, they definitely dare not go out of the city to support Xiao Yue. Then the only ones who can support Xiao Yue are Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun, who are approaching Huayin. As long as Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun dare to transfer troops to Lingtai Mountain and fight with us, we can completely rely on our strength and geographical advantages to give **** a heavy lesson. If this battle is successfully fought, perhaps there will be a qualitative breakthrough in the situation in Guanzhong. ”
Chai Jin was full of energy, and after saying this, his eyes quietly glanced at Chai Yonghao. Chai Yonghao could only smile helplessly in his heart, it seems that this brother is a little jealous, hey, it's no wonder Chai Jin, he Chai Yonghao was too much of the limelight before, risked crossing the Yellow River, sneaking up on Xianyang, and coercing Chang'an. This credit is too great, and it is all enjoyed exclusively by him Chai Yonghao. I'm afraid that Chai Jin is not the only one who is jealous in the army, I'm afraid that most of them have the same idea as Chai Jin. Although the general will not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, the plan of smuggling across the Yellow River and leading an army of 20,000 to attack Chang'an is too risky, and he didn't even ask for instructions. Regardless of whether this battle can be won or not, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the charge of arrogance, but Chai Keyan did not say a word, but praised it greatly. Therefore, many people say that Chai Keyan is too fond of Chai Yonghao, if this kind of thing is not eradicated, Chai Yonghao will not be able to turn the sky in the future?
Chai Yonghao is a smart man, he knows the thoughts of many generals in the army, so he did not oppose Chai Jin, but nodded in agreement. If this plan can really be successful, Chai Jin and the others will also be able to make some credit, and there will be fewer complaints about him Chai Yonghao, even if it doesn't work, there will be no big loss in the end, so why make everyone in the army unhappy for this matter. Chai Jin's plan unexpectedly won everyone's support, Chai Keyan has no reason to refuse, she also knows the way of the emperor, Chai Yonghao has made great achievements and is famous, and Chai Jin should be given a chance, if the army is dominant, it is not a good thing for her Chai Keyan.
With the general plan set, the soldiers and horses of the Chai clan stationed in Huayin County soon moved, and the army in the area of Shaohua Mountain hurried to Lingtai Mountain south of Huayin that day, and soon after, the army stationed in the east of Huayin also turned to the direction of Lingtai Mountain. The next day before noon, Xiao Yue's army approached the vicinity of Lingtai Mountain, Chai Jin had already been waiting for a long time, and under an order, nearly 20,000 troops were killed from Lingtai Mountain, directly blocking the road to Fengxiang Mansion. Xiao Yue knew what his task was, so he didn't flinch, and after noon, Ye Jingtang's troops and the soldiers and horses of the general Mali Bridge under Chai Jin bumped together, and the two sides fought directly in formation. At the beginning, it was only Ye Jingtang and Ma Qiao's people, and all the soldiers and horses added up to only 6,000 people, but Xiao Yue used a tactic to add fuel to the front, and gradually the Chai army, which could still rely on the advantage of troops to occupy the initiative, was a little unbearable. Chai Jin stood at a high place and kept looking at the battlefield, although his side had an absolute advantage in strength, but he was worthy of being a division of a hundred battles, a strong shield, and skillful cooperation, and he was stunned to rely on the stable formation as a mountain to advance little by little, "Where are Wu Liang and Pan Ximing's soldiers and horses?" ”
"General Hui, General Wu and General Pan's army has already set off at the end of yesterday, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the vicinity of Lingtai Mountain around the end of the day, and they will definitely be able to join our army before the enemy's reinforcements!"
Chai Jin nodded lightly, but he still felt that Wu Liang and the others' marching speed was a little too slow, but he didn't know that Wu Liang, Pan Ximing and the others were also sulking and had nowhere to go, and they rushed to Lingtai Mountain from the east of Huayin on a long detour, and they had to join the Lingtai Mountain army within twelve hours, which was simply using others as mules and horses. The end is about to pass, Wu Liang and Pan Ximing and others finally led the troops to Lingtai Mountain, by this time, nearly 60,000 Chai troops have been concentrated near Lingtai Mountain, with such sufficient soldiers and horses, Chai Jin is really not afraid of anything. Almost at about the same time, Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun's army also rushed to Lingtai Mountain. However, what made Chai Jin almost vomit blood was that the army was gathered together, and Ye Jingtang, who had been very interested in fighting before, suddenly ordered the withdrawal of his troops, and Xiao Yue, who was in the rear, was even more straightforward, leading his troops to retreat for thirty miles. As for Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun, they were almost close to the battlefield of Lingtai Mountain, and they turned their heads and retreated, without any nostalgia at all.
was so troubled by Pang He and others, Chai Jinqi couldn't wait to scold his mother, what kind of trick is **** playing, if he doesn't rush to help Fengxiang Mansion, he just gave up how to practice fighting, is he afraid? No, it must be a **** evil. Chai Jin is not stupid, but after all, his reaction is a little sluggish, at this time, the army is gathering in Lingtai Mountain, even if he wants to return to the east to garrison, it is too late. What's more, Wu Liang and Pan Ximing's army came rushing wildly, and they haven't rested much, so should they rush back again? Not to mention people, even horses can't withstand such a toss.
The defense east of Huayin was empty, and Yang Zhi, who had been waiting for a long time, launched a surprise attack on Juxian County in the evening, because many **** soldiers pretended to be ordinary people and mixed with Juxian in advance. In just half an hour, Yang Zhi's army rushed into the city of Juxian County, which was not too far from Huayin, and when he heard that Juxian County was captured, Chai Keyan felt a headache. Unexpectedly, going around and around, it still made Zhao Ling's guy dizzy, and after tossing so many things, Ding ****'s target turned out to be a small Ju County. Although Juxian County is small and not a strategic place, if it can be defended, it must be defended, because Juxian County can store a lot of baggage. The question is who to send to Juxian to resist Yang Zhi, now almost most of the soldiers and horses near Huayin have gathered to Lingtai Mountain in the west, and there are more than 20,000 people left near Huayin. But if Pang He and Tuoba Qingyun flicked another shot at this time and circled back to Huayin, then Huayin would suffer. After careful consideration, Chai Keyan decided not to move, she felt that although there were a lot of baggage in Ju County, it was not fatal to lose it, but if something happened to Huayin, it would be a major event that shook the morale of the army. There are many things in Lingtai Mountain, but Chai Yonghao did not run over to mix, and has been staying in Huayin to help Chai Keyan in the middle of the dispatch, and now that there is an accident in Juxian County, he looked at Chai Keyan's face and reminded in a low voice, "Queen Mother, Yang Zhi's department is estimated to have a large number of people, or let the last general lead the troops." ”
"No, Yonghao, even if you go, it doesn't make much sense, in my opinion, Yang Zhi didn't go to Juxian County, but to go to the grain and grass, it is estimated that when you lead the troops to arrive in Juxian, Yang Zhi will also destroy the grain and grass and go away, so why run to eat the dust of the thief, so you order all the departments of Lingtai Mountain to retreat, don't pursue" Chai Keyan can afford to take it and put it down, how can there be a permanent victory and undefeated in the march and battle, not to mention that this loss is not big.
In the battle of Lingtai Mountain, the losses on both sides were not large, but the generals of the Chai clan were a little unhappy, as disgusting as eating a mouse feces. Due to the fact that the baggage in Juxian County was burned to the ground, Chai Keyan had to order the army on the south bank of Fenglingdu to urgently allocate grain and grass from Fenglei Town in order to win the hearts of the people and not be able to take it by force. Of course, Chai Keyan also added more care, Lin Chong is also an old fritter, since he can let Yang Zhi sneak attack Ju County, it means that Lin Chong is already in the idea of fighting the grain road, so Chai is very careful when deploying grain and grass, and he is also very particular about transportation. The Chai clan guarded it so strictly, which really made Lin Chong a little difficult.
"General Lin, the rebels are smart, and now they are heavily guarded, it is really difficult for us to find a chance to attack" Speaking of this, Xiao Yunwu pulled his hair and dragged it vigorously, sometimes he really wanted to scold the thief army for being too timid. Transporting ten carts of grain and grass, he even directly sent a team of 1,000 people to suppress the formation, which is a typical over-cautious process. Yang Zhi's successful sneak attack on Juxian County was originally quite cool, but after returning to Hezhong Mansion, he was stunned by the rebels' spirit of the Iron King Eight to lose his temper at all, "General Lin, it can't go on like this, no matter what, you have to fight a dozen."
