Chapter 756: Battle Huainan
Chai Keyan was dressed in a purple gauze skirt, and his cold face was a little lazy, but his majesty was getting more and more sufficient. Her starry eyes were slightly closed, as if she was thinking about something, Zhao Kai retreated when she encountered difficulties, and she escaped like this, and in the end she couldn't become a climate, the more such an opponent, the more she should stay. Zhao Ling besieged Zhoukou, which not only wanted to swallow more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Zhoukou, but also surrounded and sent reinforcements to eliminate Zhao Kai's living force as much as possible. I don't worry that Zhao Ling will succeed, because of Zhao Kai's courage, it is estimated that he will not send a large army to rescue Zhoukou. Now the headache is, how to deal with the army in Guanzhong, Niu Gaotun soldiers in the east of Mou, but do not do anything to Zhongmu, this is waiting for the movement of Guanzhong. According to the report of the spies in Chang'an, Zhu Lian has begun to mobilize materials, and Pang He, who is stationed in Xiliang, has also been transferred back to Chang'an, and his purpose is self-evident. It is necessary to quickly open up the situation before the arrival of the Guanzhong army, otherwise if you want to rely on the existing strength of the Chai clan, you will not be able to resist the attack of the Dingguo army from the east and west.
It was another starry night, the night was as cool as water, Chai Keyan walked alone by the lotus pond in the old palace, the sky was full of stars, and a silver river crossed the sky. She never thought that fate would come to this point, how much she wanted to escape, but in the end it developed into an irreparable situation, perhaps, when she married into the East Palace, everything was out of control. Zhao Ling, a man who can never be forgotten in his life, how many nights, the pain of love and hate cutting her is unbearable. Suddenly, Chai Keyan stopped, because at some point, there was a vague figure on the other side of the lotus pond, and an unknown person came, and the guards were like facing a great enemy. The captain of the guard on duty shouted even more. "What people. Why break into the palace at night? ”
The man walked over slowly, and when he stopped in the light, he could see that he was dressed in a black robe, and his whole person was shrouded in darkness, "Jie Ji, where I want to go, no one can stop him!" ”
The guards wanted to hold this person first, but Chai Keyan stopped him. Waving his hand to signal retreat, "It turned out that the pavilion master arrived, and I don't know what happened to visit the palace late at night?" ”
It was the black-robed man who listened to the Pavilion Master of the Listening Rain Pavilion, Chai Keyan was not worried about his safety, if the black-robed man wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago, and besides, it was Zhao Yougong that everyone had to deal with at the moment, as long as the black-robed man was not a fool, he would not do it to himself. Chai Keyan is calm and composed. That grace seems to be innate, she is like a peony blooming in the dark night. With a little cold, a little beautiful, a little luxurious. Coming to the pavilion, a lantern illuminates the pavilion, and the two sit opposite each other, this is the first time that the two have been in such close contact, Chai Keyan observed the black-robed man, hoping to see any clues, but finally gave up.
"County Lord, you don't need to worry at all, we are friends, not enemies, at least not yet. At present, Zhao Yougong is in Zhoukou, Guanzhong is ready to move, presumably the county lord also knows the situation, although Luoyang is rich in real estate, but after all, there is no danger to defend, as long as the Guanzhong troops send a letter to Guguan, it will not take three days to force Luoyang, and the difficulties encountered by the county lord can be imagined. Therefore, this seat suggests that it is better to go down to Quzhen first, and then go down to Fugou, it is best to be able to lay down Taikang County, so that in the area of Gyeonggi Road, the county lord can advance and retreat freely, and it will be much easier to deal with the Guanzhong army when the time comes. ”
The black-robed man talked eloquently, as if he was not worried about his situation at all, Chai Keyan smiled faintly, and asked sarcastically, "What Your Excellency said is not unreasonable, it's just that doing a good job like this palace is a loss, what did Your Excellency do?" Hmph, could it be that Your Excellency treats this palace as a three-year-old girl? Attacking Taikang and controlling half of Gyeonggi Road did add a few chips, but this also forced Zhao to make up his mind to target the palace, Your Excellency is scheming! ”
"The county lord's words are wrong, what good is the demise of the Chai clan army to this seat at this time? This seat can guarantee that Zhao Yougong can't beat Luoyang, and with the cleverness of the county lord, how can he give Zhao someone a chance to fight? That's all for today, where to go, the county lord chooses for himself, in short, the proposal of this seat is good for both you and me" After that, the black-robed man slapped the stone table with his left hand, and the whole person flew out of the pavilion upside down, his arms outstretched, and his toes connected to the water surface of the lotus pond, like a flying butterfly, disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the empty lotus pond, Chai Keyan thought thoughtfully, where did the black-robed man get the confidence to guarantee that the Dingguo army would not be able to defeat Luoyang, and what did he rely on? Chai Keyan is not worried that the black-robed man will deceive her, as the black-robed man said, now that the Dingguo army is strong, cooperation is the best choice. Of course, the proposal of the black-robed man also has ulterior motives, if it really occupies Taikang, it will be interesting. It is more difficult for someone Zhao to return to the army on Gyeonggi Road, and he can't shake the Chai family for a while, what will he do next? I know Zhao Ling too well, he is a ruthless person, and in the face of a dilemma, he will definitely choose to move forward without hesitation, because he doesn't like the feeling of being hung by others. Defeating Taikang will force Zhao Ling to make up his mind to completely wipe out Zhao Kai's army that poured into Huainan first. The black-robed man harbors evil intentions, but isn't it great? If Zhao Ling swallowed Zhao Kai in one bite, he would also save himself trouble, and the Zhao family would die a few more, but it would be a good thing.
On the ninth day of August in the first year of Dakang, the calm Jinggi Road made waves again, Chai Yonghao, who had been standing still, suddenly changed his normality, and the army threatened Quzhen, at this time Niu Gao only had more than 30,000 troops under his hands, and it was impossible to take care of all aspects, in order to ensure that the hinterland of the Beijing division was not impacted, he could only watch the Chai army capture Quzhen. Niu Gao muttered in his heart, what does the Chai family want to do, what's the use of playing the next Quzhen? But then, the Chai family was not idle, and continued to go south, directly taking Fugou, and then sending troops to Taikang. At this time, Niu Gao could see clearly Chai's intentions, Chai's this is to defeat Taikang and force His Royal Highness to retreat, which is quite a bit of a siege of Wei to save Zhao.
According to common sense, Taikang has 5,000 soldiers and horses left behind, should be able to resist for a few days, but no one expected a sudden change, in the first 10th night of August, Taikang Shou commanded the original Taikang soldiers and horses to make Yan Ru open the city to surrender, the deputy commander made Ma Xingtang was killed, the Dingguo army and the original Taikang defenders fought, but also to confront the Chai army outside the city, and finally was driven out of Taikang, nearly 3,000 Dingguo army, back to the Nanya camp when there was only half left. The news of Taikang's fall soon reached Zhoukou, and Zhao Yougong frowned. The wooden lady knelt on the cushion and helped rub her temples. I've been worrying a lot lately. Hua Rong is determined to be the eighth iron king, but he doesn't send troops, and now there is no progress in Zhoukou, Taikang has lost it again, and the Chai clan is getting more and more powerful, which is not a good thing. Before Zhao Yougong could figure out what to do next, Tang Miao, who had been missing, came to Zhoukou, and he entered the big tent. He arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, the black-robed man has been in contact with the county lord a few days ago, but because our people can't get too close, I don't know what the two have discussed." ”
The black-robed man came into contact with Chai Keyan, and it was expected, if there was no movement in the Listening Rain Pavilion all the time, it would be very strange. No wonder the Chai family has been moving so much recently, and it seems that it has nothing to do with what the black-robed man said. How, exactly? If there are no accidents, the Guanzhong side should be ready. As long as the Guanzhong army threatens Luoyang, the Chai family will suffer from the enemy. It is unlikely that there will be any more storms, so Zhao Yougong is not worried that the Chai family will be able to lay down Bianliang. Captured Taikang and forced him Zhao to retreat? Hmph, Chai Keyan, what do you want? At present, the situation is getting more and more chaotic, and the chaos must be cut quickly, before the end of the day, all the generals are gathered in the big tent, Zhao Yougong issued an unexpected order, the whole army let go of Zhoukou, and went all out to attack Chenzhou in the east, of course, Zhao Yougong also left something for the rebels in Zhoukou City, that is, tens of thousands of cavalry led by Yang Zaixing.
Today's Chenzhou has long been an empty city, Zhao Kai did not have the courage to fight with the Dingguo army, and when Zhoukou confronted him, the prince's army began to move to Huainan. Sometimes Zhao Yougong also has to admire Song Jiang, Hua Rong is a good brother of Song Jiang, he even said that he would give up, but Mo said that Hua Rong could protect himself, that is, the Dingguo army did not attack Zhoukou, if Zhoukou was attacked, although the casualties were great, but it could definitely take Zhoukou County in one fell swoop, what could the rebels rely on without city defense, and Hua Rong would be able to survive when the time came?
Guanzhong, the land of Qin Feng in August, raging with a different majesty, Chang'an City is full of flowers, but Daming Palace is very busy. Zhu Wu, the current head of the military division of the Qin Palace, kept scratching his scalp, now there is really a shortage of people in Guanzhong, especially the general of the army, just Pang He alone is absolutely not good, the situation in Siberia is delicate, and he has never stopped fighting, so Lin Chong, Han Zhe, and Wu Lan cannot be adjusted, Yelu Dashi is sitting in Xijin Mansion, facing the pressure of Liaodong, and it cannot be easily transferred, and the other generals are all near Bianliang. Why did Zhu Wu have a headache, Princess Zhu Lian was clear, approaching evening, the scenery in the Daming Palace was pleasant, Zhu Lian led Zhilan and Ah Jiu to the palace under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, at this time a woman in a cyan military uniform stood in front of the tower, her wheat-colored skin glowed with a faint light in the sunset, a wipe forehead around her forehead, and her ink-colored eyes showed a bit of exotic color.
When the Dingguo Army was dominant, people only knew Zhu Lian, Chai Keyan, and even Cui Niannu and Li Shishi, because they were the most solid guarantee behind Zhao Yougong, but everyone seemed to have forgotten that there was still a heroic woman hidden in the palace of King Qin, she was the former party pearl, the cousin of the Western Xia princess Li Qinglu, Tuoba Qingyun.
Time is the most terrible killer, how much hatred dissipates with the wind, and how many smiles are revealed little by little with time. Tuoba Qingyun longs for the feeling of dominating the world, so she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and at the age of thirteen she led her clan against the Western Xia army, she is not a canary in a cage, not moving does not mean that she doesn't want to, maybe the time has not come.
"Sister, now that the situation is delicate, the influence of the Chai family is getting bigger and bigger, please ask my sister to help" Zhu Lian had a kind smile on his face, but between his eyebrows, a trace of sadness could be seen. Hey, what was supposed to persuade Tuoba Qingyun should be done by the officials, but now, I can only try it myself.
What Zhu Lian didn't expect was that Tuoba Qingyun didn't seem to have the intention of refusing, she put her hands behind her back, and there was a little evil smile on the corner of her mouth, "Hmph, he also has times when he asks for help?" ”
Oh, is there less time for our official to beg for help?
On August 12 of the first year of Dakang, Zhu Lian, the princess of Chang'an City, personally read out the text, and 50,000 soldiers led by Pang He and the princess Tuoba Qingyun sent a letter to Guguan. For a while, the world was shocked, and it was not Guanzhong who sent troops, because it was only a matter of time before Guanzhong sent troops to Luoyang. Everyone was surprised that Tuoba Qingyun had forgotten about this woman. It was once rumored that Tuoba Qingyun was depressed and unhappy, and her relationship was not harmonious, and she was already terminally ill, but when she led the troops out again, she completely slapped everyone's face. In Luoyang City, Chai Keyan was very distressed, and he really forgot that there was a Tuoba Qingyun in the palace of King Qin. In Bianliang City back then, she also had a face-to-face with Tuoba Qingyun, this woman is heroic and vigorous, not losing to men, maybe her scheming methods are more inferior than Zhu Lian and Xiao Zhiyun, but in terms of the ability to lead the troops, I am afraid that it is not much different from Xiao Zhiyun, otherwise, she would not have been able to lead the troops against the Xixia people at the age of thirteen for many years. Zhao Yougong, Zhao Yougong, is really admirable, a woman like Tuoba Qingyun can impress him.
The Guanzhong army sent a letter to Guguan, and Zhao Yougong was also completely relieved, the Dingguo army that had arrived in Chenzhou had no intention of stopping, and pursued to the east non-stop, with the intention of following Zhao Kai's rebels across Huainan. The Dingguo army didn't care about it, but the rebels guarding Zhoukou were in a hurry. People ignore you in the Dingguo Army, why are you guarding Zhoukou? Many rebels came from Yingtianfu, and at this time, they had a feeling of being abandoned, and many people were shouting to go out of the city to respond to Tianfu. Hua Rong is also as big as a bucket, I have never seen Dingguo Jun like this, there is obviously a nail behind him, but he just doesn't pull it out, he just treats him Hua Rong as a soft persimmon.
No matter what Hua Rong thinks, Zhao Yougong's idea is settled, that is, he wants to swallow Zhao Kai's soldiers and horses in one bite, if Zhao Gou really dares to fight Suzhou Mansion, he doesn't mind cleaning up the two brothers together. When the Zhao brothers are gone, they will turn their heads and concentrate on dealing with the Chai family. was chased and beaten by the Dingguo Army, Zhao Kai's mood must not be better, he didn't understand, Zhao Yougong took the wrong medicine, Chai's tossed Gyeonggi Road enough, and he had the posture of coercing Bianliang City, if you don't go back to guard Bianliang, why did you come to Huainan with you?
In Huainan's words, His Royal Highness King Yun must have robbed Zhao Yougong's woman, otherwise how could this be?
The prince's army entered Huainan, and the whole Huainan became a pot of porridge, but the Dingguo army chased the rebels and beat them, and the local officials knew that His Royal Highness the regent was behind, so no one dared to surrender casually this time, whether intentionally or not, they would resist it, which caused the rebels to march a lot slower. At least, Zhao Kai's idea of hitting Suzhou Mansion within five days is out of play. (To be continued......)
