Chapter 877 Who Can Make Up the Heavens

Lin Chong successfully attacked the Fenglingdu camp, but the impact of the destruction of grain and grass could not be seen in the short term, but the Chai clan was advancing all the way, winning victories one after another, and the morale was extremely high. When the Chai clan opened the corridor from Hezhong Mansion to Yunzhong Nuoda, the role of Pang He's army stationed in Taiyuan was also revealed, and as the battle line was lengthened, there were more and more places for Chai to defend, especially in Yunzhong and Linfu, and more than 80,000 people were directly mobilized to defend. Originally, the Chai clan had an absolute superiority in troops, but after the north and south were apportioned, it was impossible to give enough pressure to **** as before. Especially in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion, knowing that there were less than 50,000 people under Pang He's command, but at this time, the Chai clan was unable to draw enough troops to besiege Taiyuan. Everything is a gain and a loss, occupy so much territory, just score troops to defend, like Yunzhong, Linzhou and Shizhou, these places, if you don't send troops to garrison, then what's the point of occupying here, the front foot goes, the back foot gives ****? The army of the Chai clan was scattered, they occupied a lot of territory, and they also lost the opportunity to continue to exert pressure on Guanzhong. It is obviously unrealistic for the Chai clan to abandon Linfu and Yunzhong and regroup forces to put pressure on Guanzhong. After losing a large area of land in Hedong and Linfu, Guanzhong finally ushered in a rare respite.

The Chai clan fought one after another, and Pang He's army was nailed to Taiyuan Mansion like a nail, and the Chai clan could no longer make big moves in a short period of time, at most they would send people to coerce Yinzhou. Similarly, Ding **** did not dare to act rashly, because once he took the initiative to attack, the disadvantage of his troops would be infinitely magnified, and then the Chai clan was likely to seize the defensive loopholes and quickly expand the results. Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, the two sides are bounded by Shizhou and Cizhou, and there is nothing to do with each other, and a major event has happened during this time, after a long journey, the elite of the northern land of Yelu Dashi has finally withdrawn from Liaodong and returned to Xijin Mansion. As soon as he returned to Xijin Mansion, Yelu Dashi ordered Xiao Conan to lead 10,000 elite soldiers from Dading Mansion and stationed at Songshan Ranch, echoing with the Siberian Front army stationed in Hongjira, and containing the Chai Jin army stationed in Yunzhong. Although Xiao Conan does not have many soldiers and horses, relying on the terrain of Songshan Ranch, he can completely deal with the rebels in Yunzhong Mansion. Xiao Conan's arrival made Chai Jin quite a headache, if Xiao Conan and Deng Yuanjue joined forces, it would not be so troublesome, but Xiao Conan was stationed in Songshan Ranch, which made Yunzhong tireless, so far, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack, no matter who fights, the other party will definitely come to help, "General Tian, I hope you can restrain your soldiers and horses, don't take the initiative to attack the thief army during this time, as long as we hold Yunzhong Mansion steadily, Deng Yuanjue and Xiao Conan have no good way." ”

Yelu Dashi's elite army withdrew from Liaodong, which also completely relieved Guanzhong and Gyeonggi Road, because Yelu Dashi returned in time to help, at least there would be no problems in the entire Hebei area. Chai was also afraid that Yelu Dashi would suddenly get involved and make something big, so he strictly ordered all the troops to defend the army, mainly to maintain stability, just when Chai did not dare to act rashly, Yelu Dashi's department actually entered Gyeonggi Road from Baimadu through Hebei after resting for less than four days, and completed the convergence with Han Shizhong and Xiao Zhiyun's Gyeonggi Road army. Chai Keyan really didn't expect Yelu Dashi to be so straightforward, and he abandoned Hebei and directly entered the Central Plains battlefield. Yelu Dashi's marching speed is a little too fast, due to the concentration of troops on the Jinggi Road Ding**** to exert pressure on the Zhengzhou area, prompting Luoyang to urgently transfer Jiangling, Hanyang and other soldiers and horses to aid Zhengzhou, in order to prevent the sneak attack on the Tiger Prison Pass from happening again, Ye Dahu also returned to the Tiger Prison Pass from Shizhou, personally responsible for the defense of the Tiger Prison Pass, Taikang The early winter of the second year is coming, but the battle between Chai and Ding **** is getting tighter and tighter, and a full-scale war may break out at any time.

Guanhuayin County, the weather is getting colder and colder, Chai Keyan also put on a thick ferret coat, the whole person looks a lot bloated, and several important people in the army also hurried to Huayin and gathered together to discuss the next plan. Before Chai Yonghao came, he had analyzed the current situation, so he took the lead in speaking, "At present, we have successfully won Yunzhong and Linfu, and we have achieved a phased victory. But Yelu Dashi's army withdrew from Liaodong, which is very unfavorable to us, after the Beidi army entered Gyeonggi Road, the Ding**** in the area of Gyeonggi Road is almost the same as us in terms of strength, considering that Yelu Dashi's troops are elite border troops, I am afraid that Ding**** will take advantage of the situation to take the initiative to attack. After a few months, Niu Gao and Xiao Zhiyun's troops also recovered from the previous fiasco, so the situation in Zhengzhou was very unfavorable for us. Moreover, after taking Linfu and Yunzhong, our forces are already very scattered, and we can no longer move against Hebei, which is empty of troops, if we move Hebei again, our front will cover too much, and I am afraid that there will not be enough troops to deal with the changes in Zhengzhou and Luoyang at that time. ”

After Chai Yonghao finished speaking, Chai Keyan looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, fortunately, everyone was relatively calm, and did not show any panicked looks, "This is the general situation, I have also thought about it later, with our current strength, it is no longer realistic to launch a large-scale attack on Guanzhong and make a new breakthrough." Therefore, Benhou decided to shrink the forces from now on, and the areas of Linfu, Wuzhou City, and Yunzhong should draw 40,000 soldiers and horses within ten days to reduce the pressure on Luoyang. In addition, Chai Jin will be appointed as the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Henan Prefecture, and the defense of Yunzhong will be handed over to Wu Liang, in addition, the defenders of Wuzhou will retreat south into Shizhou and be commanded by Chai Yonghao. ”

With the deployment of Chai Keyan, the Chai clan's various departments quickly mobilized, first of all, a large number of soldiers and horses in Yunzhong and Linfu and other places gathered to the south, Chai's action can scare Pang He enough, Pang He is afraid that Chai will do something to Taiyuan at this time. On October 27, Chai Jin led an army of more than 40,000 troops from Linfu and south along Shizhou to Hujiao Pass, and then entered Zhengzhou. At this point, after some transfers, the Chai clan almost guarded Luoyang like an iron bucket, and it seemed that the whole situation was as stable as a rock. Chai's move is not a good thing for Ding****, especially in Gyeonggi Road, Xiao Zhiyun originally took advantage of Yelu Dashi to just join the battle and put pressure on Zhengzhou with superior forces, but with Chai Jin's retreat, this plan had to be abandoned. Ding **** wanted to take the initiative, but he didn't know where to start, anyway, Xiao Zhiyun was very sad, and seeing that there was nothing to do, she returned to Bianliang with a heavy heart. Bianliang is still the prosperous Bianliang, and the people in the city seem to have become accustomed to the tense atmosphere of war, and now they are accustomed to it, and everyone can live their lives as they should.

Genyue Garden is a little more yellow, a little less lush, Zhao Ji spent a lot of money to build Genyue Garden, now there is a feeling of entering the dusk. No matter how incompetent Zhao Ji is, but it must be admitted that he is a very good artist, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, this garden art is also a must, walking on the marble paved path, Xiao Zhiyun is at a loss, "What the hell is this Zhao Ling doing, why hasn't he moved until now?" ”

Listening to Xiao Zhiyun's whining words, Ana comforted her, "Princess, don't think about it too much, don't you know Your Highness, since he is so stable, I think he has already made arrangements." ”

"But you can say good things, how can I not know what kind of character he is, but when, even I need to hide it, this guy, it's really getting more and more incomprehensible" Xiao Zhiyun sulked, mainly because of a feeling of being deceived, these years of crusade and western, the two of them have been frank with each other, and they have never hidden anything, but this time, they have concealed it to death. In a bad mood, I didn't have the heart to browse the beautiful scenery, a rush of footsteps sounded, and a guard ran over panting, "Concubine Xiao, Mrs. Li, please go back to the house quickly, saying that there is an urgent letter in Guanzhong." ”

Xiao Zhiyun didn't think much about it, and there were a lot of letters sent by Guanzhong these days, but they were all trivial matters. When she returned to the Chu Palace, she saw Master Li anxiously waiting outside the hall, watching Master Li walking around with her hands in her hands, Xiao Zhiyun couldn't help but smile, "Little lady, what's wrong with you, could it be that the one in our family added a few sisters to you, so he actually ran outside the hall and waited." ”

Xiao Zhiyun is free and easy by nature, but the teacher can't stand Xiao Zhiyun's teasing, her face is slightly red, and she said angrily, "Sister Xiao, don't make fun of the teacher, there is really an urgent report, it is about the battle on Gyeonggi Road, and I want you to read it for yourself!" ”

"Huh?" As soon as she heard that it was an important task in the army, Xiao Zhiyun took two quick steps, took the letter and opened it, the more she read it, the more the smile on Xiao Zhiyun's face became, and later, she curled the corners of her mouth and said lightly, "Chai Keyan is also unlucky when he meets our family, this kind of unpredictable arrangement, only he can think of it!" ”

A letter completely changed the battle situation on the Gyeonggi Road, the next day, Xiao Zhiyun rushed back to the western front from Bianliang, and then carried out a unified mobilization of the various armies, Yang Zaixing's cavalry set off from Chenzhou, rushed to Yingchang Mansion, and when they were about to arrive at Yingchang Mansion, this elite army active in the area of Gyeonggi Road suddenly turned south and disappeared between the mountains south of Yingchang Mansion. Yang Zaixing's cavalry is too powerful, it inevitably affects the hearts of many people, if you don't know the movement of Yang Zaixing's cavalry, the Chai generals can't feel at ease. Therefore, Zhengzhou urgently deployed 20,000 soldiers and horses to aid Yingchang Mansion, so as to be foolproof. Yingchang Mansion received reinforcements, but Yang Zaixing's cavalry did not appear for a long time, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. Yang Zaixing disappeared, but Liu Jian and Hu Yanqing set out from Yingzhou, from Fugou, and attacked Xinzheng in Zhengzhou, and Shibao's troops also went south from Zhongmu to cooperate with the Yingzhou army to attack Xinzheng. If you don't move, this move has a momentum of overwhelming mountains, nearly 50,000 troops, and quickly gathered near Xinzheng, and in just half a day, Xinzheng announced an emergency. Xinzheng is located in the south of Zhengzhou, there is Mi County in the northwest, in general, this is not a strategic place, the **** concentrated army to storm Xinzheng, it is really a bit unexpected, Chai Jin for a while did not know what medicine was sold in the **** gourd, so he could only passively transfer troops to aid Xinzheng, and by the end of October 30, the situation in Xinzheng finally stabilized. After Ding**** went all out to attack Xinzheng to no avail, he took the initiative to withdraw from the vicinity of Xinzheng, but when the situation in Xinzheng was tense, Han Shizhong's department cooperated with Yelu Dashi's department to recapture Baisha Town west of Zhongmu in one go, and completely drove Chai's soldiers and horses back to Zhengzhou.

For a while, Ding**** was fighting vigorously in the east of Zhengzhou, but the progress was not big, in short, this series of actions directly confused Chai Jin, Chai Jin really didn't know where the meaning of the **** tossed was, tossing and tossing, what is the point of not taking Zhengzhou? Chai Jin has a headache, he has been dealing with Ding **** for so many years, he knows too well how powerful Ding **** is, Yelu Dashi, Xiao Zhiyun, Han Shizhong, Niu Gao, which of these people is not a talent in the art of war, these four people are all gathered on Gyeonggi Road now, will they do something meaningless? No, there must be some intentions in Ding****, could it be that this action is to concentrate all the soldiers and horses around Luoyang on the front line of Zhengzhou, so as to make breakthroughs elsewhere? Chai Jin felt that this possibility was very high, so he asked eagerly, "Is there any news from the spies, is there any movement from Yingchang Mansion?" ”

"General, as usual near Yingchang Mansion, Yang Zaixing's department still hasn't appeared" The deputy general's expression was not too good-looking, Chai Jin could only ask, "What about Tangzhou?" Isn't there any trace of Yang Zaixing's department near Tangzhou? ”

"No" The adjutant shook his head with a wry smile, Chai Jin closed his eyes with a sad face, he felt that his head was a little heavy, he had to calm down, what did he want to do?

Just when Chai Jin was at a loss and the situation in Zhengzhou was very tense, there was a huge fleet moving fast on the Yangtze River south of Yangzhou. This army is the sailor of the Dingguo Army who withdrew from the Nanpu Wharf in Goryeo, Li Bao stood at the bow of the ship, his expression was solemn, he knew very well in his heart that whether the Ding**** could move the unfavorable situation back depended on him Li Bao. The unbelievable plan to mend the sky was originally formulated to open up a new battlefield, but because the balance of Guanzhong was broken, this plan became a life-saving bargaining chip.

Li Bao felt that the burden on his body was very heavy, and he decided that the **** sailor was established on Salmon Island, and he had never shouldered such a heavy responsibility. (To be continued.) )
