Chang'an Intoxicated, A Chaos-Bringing Concubine

Chapter 323 The Battle of Shouyang

From a psychological point of view, Xuancheng was a little afraid of thanking his family. Of course, he said it after experiencing the end of the war as a modern person. He was afraid that he would die too early.

So he tried to avoid confrontation with the Xie family.

Since Xie Shi is leading the water army, he will definitely go north from Jingkou to aid the East Road. The Youji army led by Dugui has arrived in Pengcheng. Before the river in the north freezes, he will complete the transportation of grain and grass in the army. If he goes south, he will pose a threat to Guangling up.

The first target of the Xie family should not be their own striker, but the Youji Navy.

Xuancheng made such a bold countermeasure and was the first to attack Shouyang.

As Zhang Hao said, gnaw down this hard bone that is not easy to gnaw.

Murong Wei and Fu Fang were left in Yingkou Headquarters, and Xuancheng, Zhang Hao, Liang Cheng, Liang Yun, Liang Ti, Zhang Tianxi and other troops advanced from Yingkou to the east. , Xuancheng was a little strange, would that shrewd Mrs. Xie make such a layout?Zhang Hao can see the importance of Shouyang, can't Xie An see it?

In any case, take Shouyang first and occupy a favorable geographical position.

In fact, Yingkou and Shouyang are opposite to each other, and they are all distributed on the Huai River, but this river is not easy for northerners to pass through.

At this time, the scouts from the front came to report that Hu Bin, the striker sent by Xie An, led the five thousand sailors to aid Shouyang, and was coming towards Shaopi.

"Bring me a map."

"Yes."

Everyone got off their horses to look at the topographic map. Shouyang is located at the confluence of three rivers. To the west of Shouyang is Qinggang, and to the southwest is Shaopi.

"On both sides of Shaopi are the Bishui and Feishui meandering from south to north. Both rivers flow into the Huaihe River. If Hu Bin occupies Shaopi, it will be a threat to our army crossing the Huaihe River to the south. We must grab Hu Bin occupied Shaobei before."

"Mr. Yangping, please see that if our army occupies Shaobei to the southwest and Qinggang to the west, and surrounds Shouyang City, even if Hu Bin leads a navy to come and want to relieve the siege of Shouyang, he must use our army. What's more, he only has five thousand sailors, and we will definitely not sit back and watch him save Shouyang. In this way, it is the best policy for our army to occupy Shouyang, hold the Jin army hostage, and then cross the Huaihe River." Zhang Hao pointed to the terrain with one hand. All parties on the map are military towns, while analyzing suggestions.

"Where did Hu Bin march to?"

"Hu Bin is leading the navy, and he's in the cai at the moment."

"Xiacai is the top of these three rivers. It is not so easy for Hu Bin to cross the Huaihe River to the west to help Shouyang. Well, we will occupy Shaobei first."

"Order the army to march in the direction of Shaopi immediately."

Xuancheng sword points to the southwest, where is the Shaobei where the Fei and Fei rivers meander. Although Shaopi is just a small town, it is named after an irrigation project built by Sun Shuao at the junction of the two rivers during the Warring States period. Intercepting Hu Bin's reinforcements going north has extraordinary significance for the occupation of Shouyang.

Xuancheng is grateful to the several generals around him, especially the hussar general Zhang Hao, who is brave and invincible but not brave or foolhardy.

At dusk that day, the army arrived at Shaopi, and Xuancheng ordered people to set up camp in Shaopi to guard against Hu Bin's navy.

Facing the dark and dense barriers of his own camp, Liang Cheng said jokingly, "Is Hu Bin swimming? We have not arrived at the destination after half a month since we set off from Jiankang. We have to thank him very much."

Xuancheng didn't know what it was like to hear it.

Marching on the battlefield is indeed taboo to march slowly and delay the timing.

Liang Cheng was in the mood to tease the enemy army, but Xuancheng was not in the mood to tease others, because his elder brother was still traveling in the rear at the moment, and he did not have the tension of a person on the battlefield at all.

In the middle of the night, Xuancheng didn't want to sleep, got up and walked out of the tent, inspected the camp, and heard the sound of water flowing in his ears, two mountains were separated by two winding rivers, and the irrigation project in the Warring States period had long been erased At this time, there are only a few old wooden ruins intercepted on the dam. Hu Bin wants to pass Shaopi, can he pass?

Xuancheng wants to cross the Huaihe River, and Fu Jian also wants to cross the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, but if the southerners are blocked from crossing the north, will the northerners be able to cross the south smoothly?

Mingyue cautiously groped her way here, and she saw her master staying by the river, she quickly pulled up her robe and put it on her body, and said in a reproachful tone, "Master, don't run around in the middle of the night, since we left Chang'an, you have been waiting for me in the middle of the night. Is it impossible to get rid of the habit of not sleeping? If you are thinking of Your Majesty, why don't Master secretly leave the camp to see His Majesty?"

"What did you say?" A cold light shot from Xuancheng, Mingyue suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, how could there be such a reason, the battle was imminent, and the coach left his post without authorization.

Mingyue muttered, "Don't you miss him?"

Xuancheng thought, he wondered what Fu Jian was doing at this time.

Thinking of Zhang Lingran joining the army, he felt very uncomfortable.

Fu Jian has never kept festivals for anyone, and he is definitely not an infatuated fool. He has favored so many people, and his kindness has spread all over the world. Now he is often accompanied by a knowledgeable, talented and beautiful woman. The night is the most cranky, Xuan The city suffers from insomnia again and again.

"Let's go, go back to sleep." After standing still for a long time, the cool wind blowing in the middle of the night seemed to wake up Xuancheng who was a little dizzy.

It was a very peaceful sleep.

It's dawn.

The next day, Xuancheng led Zhang Hao, Zhang Tianxi and Murong Qu's family to attack Shouyang, leaving Liang Cheng, Wang Xian and Liang Cheng's younger brothers to block Hu Bin in Shaopi.

The army approached the city of Shouyang and surrounded it.

Facing this military fortress on the north-south border, Xuancheng couldn't help being awe-inspiring, and also recalled many past events in his mind. Back then, Fu Jian and him traveled south in plain clothes to Jiankang, and they passed by Shouyang City. Fu Jian really wanted to go to Shouyang Looking at the southern country from the city, but the political power belongs to Jin, and it is a military city, the two can only look up.

Seeing this north-south fortress again now, Xuancheng is proud, because he has more than [-] troops, and with just one order, this city will fall.

The horse under his seat gave a long cry, but it aroused the benevolence in Xuancheng's heart. He turned his head and said to the lieutenant beside him, "Write down the document to persuade people to shoot into the city."

"Yes."

Zhang Hao said, "Mr. Yangping should order to attack the city immediately."

Xuancheng turned to look at him and said, "If Xu Yuanxi knows the situation and goes out of the city to surrender, we will spare their lives. The people are innocent, not to mention courtesy first and then soldiers. It has been a rule since ancient times."

The lieutenant general who slapped the horse away shot the document of persuasion into the city of Shouyang, waiting for the response of the Jin army in Shouyang.

The next moment, he saw a man in the middle of the majestic city wall, glanced at the documents sent up by his subordinates, and then threw down the tower eloquently, and the deputy general of the Qin army turned his head back to the formation.

Xuancheng saw it clearly.

The document persuading him to surrender was written down by the guards on the top of the city as waste paper. During the process of falling, the document was blown and fluttered by the howling autumn wind, and he was slapped in the face helplessly before the confrontation between the two armies.

What a hard bone.

"beat."

If we wait any longer, they will not surrender.

The general around him raised his sword and rode his horse to charge, and the soldiers behind him rushed up like a flood. The sound of the charge resounded throughout the mountains and rivers. Xuancheng sat on the horse, and the wind and clouds moved, but he remained motionless.

The first battle against Shouyang City soon came to an end.

The Jin army's defense was tight, but the Qin army was not defeated.

The charging army withdrew, but did not retreat outside Shouyang City. Instead, they stopped attacking and continued to besiege the city. Shouyang City was at stake for the Jin army.

All the generals discussed matters in the camp of the Chinese army, and they had endless opinions.

Zhang Hao's usual practice is to use strong force, until not a single blade of grass grows in Shouyang City.

Zhang Tianxi suggested sending tens of thousands of cavalry to garrison Qinggang and besiege Shouyang from east to west, forcing the defenders of Shouyang to abandon the city and surrender.

"We have occupied Shaobei, and the Southwest Road of Shouyang has been blocked. If we occupy Qinggang again, we will besiege Shouyang at a corner. The water in Shouyang will be cut off. Within half a month, Xu Yuanxi will come out and surrender."

"Is Guiyi Hou thinking about the Jin army, or is he sincerely making suggestions for our army?"

After all, Zhang Tianxi is a Han Chinese. Xuancheng will not understand that people who are not of our race will have different hearts. Zhang Hao’s reminder is a blow to Xuancheng. This time, Zhang Tianxi is going to join the army to recruit the Southern Sima. Xuancheng has an inexplicable panic in his heart He couldn't explain where this trace of panic came from.

But after Zhang Hao mentioned it, Xuancheng couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Tianxi.

But the other party lowered his eyes, Xuancheng stared intently at this handsome face, for some reason he had an illusion, it seemed that it flashed in his mind, the scene of the snow falling in Yuanchuan Valley that day was imprinted in his heart.

"What the Marquis of Guiyi said is a kind of strategy. The Han people pay attention to surrendering without fighting." Xuancheng said this in order to quell the ethnic dispute between the Di people in the army camp and the Han people.

"How to surrender a powerful enemy without fighting? Someone like Gui Yihou can consider surrendering without a fight." Zhang Hao sneered.

"You." Zhang Tianxi's face was flushed, but he couldn't say a word.

"General Hussars made a slip of the tongue." Xuancheng stopped in displeasure.

Zhang Tianxi was originally the lord of the former Liang Kingdom, and he surrendered to Daqin without a fight that day. Zhang Hao's ridicule made Zhang Tianxi completely disrecognizable. If they don't stop it, they will still fight here.

Xuan Cheng said, "Let's leave first, I will think about it later."

"The last general will leave." Everyone clasped their fists and retreated.

Xuancheng held his forehead and sighed.

Although this army is the essence of the Di people, the generals are scumbags.

There are people of all ethnic groups who are scumbags.

This is just like Fu Jian's so-called million-strong army this time. It looks like a million, but it is actually a mess. No wonder Fu Jian tried his best to transfer Murong Chui's Xianbei soldiers away.

But even so, 25 forwards cannot be commanded by one person, so there are Han generals, Di generals, and Xianbei generals.

Mingyue hurriedly entered the account, "Master, Your Majesty has sent a letter."

"Bring it quickly."

As soon as he heard that it was a letter from Fu Jian, Xuancheng couldn't wait, and hurriedly snatched the letter from Mingyue, opened it and glanced at it, then sighed again.

"What's the matter, master? What did His Majesty say?"

Xuancheng squeezed the letter and let out a long sigh of relief, "Brother Emperor's army is stationed in Xiangcheng."

"Your Majesty is still in Xiangcheng?"

"He wants me to capture Shouyang first."

After talking about it, Xuancheng's heart was even more blocked, why couldn't he understand Fu Jian?Why did he still not understand Fu Jian in the end?

Is he killing his brother?

"Xiangcheng is four hundred miles away from Shouyang, and Shouyang is seven hundred miles away from Jiankang. My brother, do you really like romance? Do you want to look at Jiankang thousands of miles away?" Xuancheng said as if mocking, But his heart told him that Fu Jian's move was not absurd.

"Why? Is there really a problem with the 60 troops?"

How much Xuancheng hoped that his guess would come to nothing.

The fourth forward division went to Yingkou, except for Murong Chui, divided 3 Xianbei troops into Jingzhou westward, Xuancheng personally led the Di troops to attack Shouyang for the Chinese army, Zhang Hao's left army followed the Chinese army to attack the city, and Murong Wei stationed for the right army in Yingkou. Kou, Fu Fang of the rear army, responsible for military officials and transportation of supplies.

Fu Jian hesitated, he seemed to deliberately keep the 87 troops away from Xuancheng.

Xuancheng asked Mingyue, "Apart from Zhang Lingran, who else is beside the emperor?"

"Your Majesty took away Young Master Lian when he was leaving, and waited at the side with Nan'an. The leader of the cavalry was Hexi Jilun, the leader of Hexi Xianbei."

"What?" Xuancheng stood up suddenly, suddenly felt dizzy, Mingyue hurriedly supported him, "Master, don't worry, there are several generals around His Majesty, they are not alone."

There is no need to doubt, everything is clear, there is indeed a problem with the so-called million-strong army led by Fu Jian, just like what they said in Chang'an, Fu Jian did not tell the truth, he just used a pretense to force Sima Yao to surrender However, he did not expect that Xie An would firmly press Sima Yao on the throne.

87 cavalry, only Fu Jian and a foreign leader in command, not a single famous general in the Great Qin Dynasty, Fu Jian never thought of asking these 87 people to participate in the battle against the Jin Dynasty.

The 87 Han Chinese accounted for eight points, and they may turn against each other at any time.

The only thing he can rely on is to draw out the soldiers of the Di nationality in the country and organize them into the 25 forwards.

At this moment, Mingyue held his arm and comforted him gently, "Mr. Yang Ping, don't you understand? Your Majesty deliberately kept a distance from you. He was not looking for fun on the way. If you fell off your horse and lost your memory in Luoyang 14 years ago, no I remember the past, let me tell you, Nan’an and I know what happened that time in Luoyang, you hurt His Majesty’s heart so much, you want to leave Qin State and go to Yan State, for a foreigner, those white slaves have What's so good, he was born to be a coquettish fox, Prime Minister Wang always wanted to kill those people when he was alive. His Majesty had to attack you that time, he killed you, but he still begged Wang Jia to save you, and Nan An and I went to invite you personally Wang Jia, why did you lose those memories from the past? When you were in Donghai Palace, you ate and lived with His Majesty, and they were never separated. Didn’t you three brothers agree with each other on the night when Fu Sheng was killed? But since that night, you have only been in contact with King Qinghe. His Majesty has treated King Qinghe so well that he gave you the title of King of the East China Sea. We gave it all to him. We never believe that there is a gap between His Majesty and King Qinghe, but in the end why did the Queen Mother give King Qinghe to death? Is there really such a bloody political struggle within the royal family? Lord Yang Ping, you can’t blame Your Majesty, We all know how sad His Majesty has been since the death of King Qinghe, how much he cared about you, and wished he could rub you into his body and pamper you, you are his only younger brother."

"Don't say it anymore." Xuancheng was very confused, and waved Mingyue's hand away.

He is not amnesiac, he is a modern person who traveled through time, how could he know what happened between Fu Jian and his younger brother before 369 AD.

"Mr. Yangping, you have to help His Majesty."

"I told you not to talk about it." Xuancheng roared.

Mingyue knelt down and begged him, "Although I don't know what His Majesty wrote to you, I don't need to read it to know that His Majesty led the army to delay deliberately. There must be some unspeakable difficulties in it. He can only rely on you." .”

Xuancheng roared, "Shut up."

"Come here, call the generals of all parties." He shouted outside the tent.

After a while, Zhang Hao, Zhang Tianxi, Murong Qu, and other generals all came to the tent of the Chinese army.

"Ben ordered the general to attack the city overnight. If Shouyang City is not captured, the troops will never be withdrawn."

"Yes." Everyone clasped their fists in response.

Mingyue cried bitterly, "Thank you, Lord Yangping, thank you, Lord Yangping."

Xuancheng bent down and gently stroked his cheek with one hand, and suddenly smiled, "You are so loyal, thank me for what I do, Fu Jian will do what he says, can I not do it for him?"

Xuancheng frantically attacked Shouyang City as if he was dead, Daqin used overwhelming crowd tactics to bully him, but Xu Yuanxi's defense was perfect, facing the rockets coming like locusts, rolling trees and thunder stones like stormy waves Roaring like a roar, none of the soldiers of Daqin retreated, because their chief general held the formation in person and was watching the formation in the middle army. This was a scene of a brutal siege.

For two days in a row, the Qin army failed to capture Shouyang City.

Xuancheng plunged the sharp sword in his hand into the loess, gritted his teeth, "I must kill the old thief Xu Yuanxi, and bury the soldiers who died in the Great Qin battle."

"Zhengnan Sima, I will order you to immediately lead [-] troops to capture Qinggang, and join forces with this general to besiege Shouyang."

Zhang Tianxi took the order to leave, Xuancheng looked at the head of Shouyang city where the flames of war were still on, with great hatred in his heart.

Just like in 379 A.D. when Fu Jian’s soldiers went south to attack Jin in three ways, all the guards of the Jin Dynasty loyally sacrificed their lives for the country and vowed not to surrender. He really couldn’t understand, do these Han people have pig’s heads on their brains? ?Why is there such a big ethnic prejudice.

Fu Jian, he loves people of all ethnic groups with such exquisite heart, why can't he win the support of people all over the world?

The author's gossip: The geographical terrain of this area is a bit complicated. I was dizzy looking at the map. The geographical relationship between Qinggang, Shaopi, Xiacai, Xiashi and Shouyang, as well as the few rivers, let's just make do with it. After all, this article is neither a drama nor a study of military affairs, please bear with me if there is a mistake.
