Chapter 569 The situation in Juyang

Chapter 5 Seventy: The situation in Juyang

In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, Li Xiucheng looked at Gao Shun lying on the bed in Liang Jun, Juyang City, and the prefect's mansion. After a disastrous defeat, Gao Shun would not be seriously injured because he led the trapped camp to fight to the death. If Gao Shun died because of this, or suffered some irreparable wounds, then he really couldn't forgive himself.

The military doctor was carefully examining Gao Shun. Since Mengze came back from the siege, Gao Shun has been unconscious due to serious injuries. He also suffered multiple wounds. The most serious one was a knife in the waist. Although the bleeding stopped However, there is a risk of infection and deterioration of the wound.

While Li Xiucheng was waiting anxiously, the military doctor finally finished his treatment. Seeing this, Li Xiucheng hurried forward and asked, "How is the military doctor? General Gao Shun's robbery is not a serious problem, right?" Li Xiucheng stared at him closely. I was worried about the military doctor, for fear that he would say something desperate.

The military doctor sighed and said: "Reporting to the general, General Gao Shun's injury has been brought under control, and he is not in danger for the time being, but although the injury at the waist has stopped bleeding, it is showing a tendency to deteriorate. The villain's ability is limited. , I am afraid it will be very difficult to cure him, if possible, please send General Gao Shun back to Wancheng for treatment as soon as possible, so as not to delay the treatment and endanger his life."

Although the military doctor controlled Gao Shun's injury, but he didn't have enough ability to heal him. The military doctor also told Li Xiucheng clearly that he hoped to send Gao Shun back to Wancheng as soon as possible.

But this made Li Xiucheng very embarrassed. There are a hundred thousand Zhao troops besieging the city. Under such circumstances, how can Gao Shun be sent out of the city safely? If he wanted to send Gao Shun back to Wancheng safely, it would be impossible without a team of elite teachers to escort him, but he needed to be accompanied by a doctor along the way, otherwise Gao Shun might not be able to reach Wancheng.

Li Xiucheng nodded and said, "I will have my own opinion on this matter. Your task is to take good care of General Gao Shun, and nothing will go wrong."

"The villain understands, please rest assured, General, but General, this matter cannot be delayed, please make a decision as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, the military doctor stepped back and went to dispense medicine for Gao Shun.

After the military doctor left, Murong Jun walked in and said, "General, how is General Gao Shun's situation?" We have been colleagues for many years, so the relationship is naturally extraordinary, and Murong Jun is also very concerned about Gao Shun's situation.

"It's nothing serious for the time being. By the way, what happened to Zhao Jun outside the city today?" Li Xiucheng asked.

Murong Jun replied: "It's still the same as before, without any intention of attacking the city, just surrounded the city, but don't worry, the general, although the Zhao army surrounded the city tightly, our army still has channels to communicate with the outside world. Oh, by the way, brother-in-law sent someone to bring General Yue's military order, and please have a look at it!" After finishing speaking, Murong Jun took out a secret order from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiucheng.

Li Xiucheng received the secret order, opened it, and his expression changed immediately. Murong Jun saw that Li Xiucheng's expression was not right, and quickly asked, "General, what's wrong with the reinforcements?"

Li Xiucheng shook his head and said: "There is no problem with the reinforcements. The general has already sent General Qin Lie and Long Xiangwei to come for reinforcements. They will arrive in a few days. It's just that the general is very concerned about our Longwuwei this time. The defeat is very dissatisfied, so we must defend Juyang City at all costs and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."

"That's good. Although Zhao's army is several times larger than ours, with Juyang City in hand, it's not a problem at all to support Longxiangwei. General, if you have nothing to do, the last general will go down first. There is only General Dianwei there, and the last general is a little worried." Murong Jun said with a sigh of relief, as long as there is no problem with the reinforcements, as for Yue Fei ordering them to defend Juyang City at all costs, even if Yue Fei didn't tell them, they would do so Yes, after all, if Juyang City is lost, they are also very clear about the consequences.

After Murong Jun left, Li Xiucheng's complexion suddenly became ugly, because in the letter, besides the news that the reinforcements were coming, he also had Yue Fei's words that if Juyang City fell, he would be used to sacrifice the flag , Li Xiucheng suddenly felt very dissatisfied and wronged. It is true that he had to bear the greatest responsibility for Mengze's defeat, and he also admitted it, but after all, he is Deng Guo's hero, and even Deng Sheng dare not touch him easily. Now Yue Fei actually shouted that he would take him to sacrifice the flag, which made him unacceptable.

But Li Xiucheng understands that now is not the time to care about these things. Even if there is any dissatisfaction, he has to wait until the Battle of the Central Plains is over. Take him to sacrifice the flag.

Outside the city, in the camp of Zhao Jun and the big tent of the Chinese Army, Tu Gao was carefully analyzing the current situation. Although he defeated Deng Jun in Mengze, he failed to keep Deng Jun in Mengze and let Li Xiucheng He returned to Juyang with the remnant soldiers. Although Longwuwei suffered a lot, but with Juyang City, it would not be so easy for him to completely defeat Longwuwei. Otherwise, he would not be under Juyang City. It's been so long since hoarding troops.

"General!" At this time, Zheng Xuan, the general of the Zhao army, came in and said: "General Qi, the spies reported that a large number of Deng troops appeared in the direction of Ningling. They are all elite cavalry. They are coming to Juyang City. I believe it will take two days. will be there."

Hearing this, Tu Gao thought for a while and said, "They are all elite cavalry? The country of Deng lacks war horses. There have always been only two elite cavalry, Longxiangwei and Shenxingwei. The one who can dispatch so many elite cavalry is probably not Longxiang. The guards belong to the gods." After fighting against each other for so many years, Tu Gao knows exactly which troops Deng Jun has. Deng is located in the south, and horses are the biggest problem. If it wasn't for blackmailing the Han country once, There is also a deal with the Qin State, whether it is possible to form a full-fledged cavalry is a problem, but this is the case. For so many years, Deng Guo only has two elite cavalry, the Longxiang Guard and the Shenxing Guard.

"Both Long Xiangwei and Shenxingwei are Deng's treasures, and they will not be sent out easily unless it is absolutely necessary. It can be seen that Yue Fei has no soldiers to send, otherwise he will never let Deng's elite soldiers Come out to take risks." Tu Gao said with a smile.

"General, what should we do now? Should we send troops to intercept Deng Jun and prevent them from reinforcing Juyang City?" Zheng Xuan asked.

Tu Gao shook his head and said, "How easy is it to stop tens of thousands of Deng Jun's elite cavalry? There is no equivalent elite cavalry, and it is impossible to intercept them. Currently, our army does not have so many cavalry."

"Then what should we do? We can't let Deng Jun come to Juyang City so easily?" Zheng Xuan asked, although he is not optimistic about being able to intercept Deng Jun, but he can't just watch Deng Jun come to Juyang City.

Tu Gao said: "Don't worry about it, pass the order, the whole army is going to retreat, retreat to Meng County."

"What? Retreat? General, our army finally reached Juyang City. If we retreat like this, isn't it a failure?" Hearing Tu Gao's retreat, Zheng Xuan was very puzzled. Having reached Juyang City, this is the biggest victory for Zhao Jun since the start of the war. Even the haze of the defeat of Changhuan and Peijun has been washed away. Withdrawing troops now, wouldn't it be to give up the good situation.

Tu Gao shook his head and said: "Now is the time to retreat. If we can wipe out Deng Guolong Wuwei in Mengze, then of course we will take advantage of the victory and take down the entire Liang County in one go. The troops will enter Chen County or Pei County. But now Longwuwei still has half of its soldiers and horses, and there is Juyang Jiancheng, we have no chance to take down at all. The reason why this general hoards troops here is to attract reinforcements from the Deng army, so as to reduce the pressure on the general's side. The pressure, now that Yue Fei dispatched an elite guard to Juyang City, the general not only relieved the pressure, but even found an opportunity to counterattack, our goal has been achieved, when will we wait if we don't retreat now?"

Tu Gao is very rational. He knows that this is not the main battlefield. Even if he can fight Deng Jun in Juyang City, it is meaningless to do so. It will only increase casualties. Deng Zhao's main battlefield is currently at On the eastern front, the battle of Xiapi is the most important thing. The reason why I came to Liang County is to see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the second is to hope that Longwuwei will be severely injured so that Longwuwei will not be able to go for reinforcements On the eastern front, the task has been completed now, and Yue Fei’s two elite cavalrymen have been attracted. It can be said that the task has been overfulfilled. There is no point in staying here any longer. It is better to retreat earlier.

However, Tu Gao did not directly return to Jiyin County, but chose to retreat to Meng County in the north, hoping to see if he could find an opportunity. Although this opportunity is very small, after all, Deng Jun suffered a loss once, so he would not be so easily fooled Yes, but opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. What if it comes true?

After Zheng Xuan listened to it, he also felt that what Tu Gao said was very reasonable, and this time, Tu Gao was the main general. Since Tu Gao had already made a decision, even if he didn't want to, he could only execute it.

The next day, Zhao Jun pulled out his camp and went north to Meng County. After Zhao Jun left, within half a day, Long Xiangwei came to Juyang City.

At this time, Li Xiucheng was asking people to pack Gao Shun's things, and was about to send troops to escort Gao Shun back to Wancheng. At first, Li Xiucheng was worried about how to send Gao Shun out of the city safely, but who knew that Zhao Jun actually retreated. It is not clear why Zhao Jun retreated when he had the advantage, but since Zhao Jun withdrew the encirclement of Juyang City, it was a good thing for Li Xiucheng, and Gao Shun could be sent back to Wancheng smoothly.

Li Xiucheng prepared a hundred elites and two military doctors to take care of Gao Shun along the way. Before leaving, Li Xiucheng said to everyone: "Your mission is to send General Gao Shun back to Wancheng safely. Missions, there must be rewards, but if something happens, it will kill you, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, general, we will send General Gao Shun to Wancheng safely even if we are smashed to pieces." Everyone responded quickly.

Li Xiucheng nodded and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you guys should leave early!"

"Here!" Everyone carried Gao Shun into the carriage. This time, the escort of a hundred elites was considered to be the elite cavalry in Longwuwei. Longwuwei is not a cavalry guard. It is not easy to get 1000 people.

After the people who escorted Gao Shun left, General Huang Fen (son of Huang Deng, Huang Deng was seriously injured and died of Qin army general Ma Sheng in the battle in Quren City, his son Huang Fen was promoted to Longwuwei, inheriting Huang Deng's mantle) came in and said, "Report to the General, Long Xiangwei has already arrived outside the city, please give instructions to the General!"

"It's finally here! I will go out of the city to welcome the soldiers of the Longxiang Guard!" Hearing that the Longxiang Guard had finally arrived, Li Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief.
