Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The Caishiji defenders were easily wiped out by Li Chuyun. \u003c\u003cTop\u003e\u003e\u003c\u003cPoint\u003e\u003e Novel After Guo Shao inspected the terrain, he discussed with the shogunate officials and generals, and believed that the pontoon bridge could be erected under the situation of controlling the river, so Wang Pu was ordered to mobilize craftsmen Minzhuang to handle the matter.

A group of people visited the Yangtze River again, and took a warship to swim on the water of the Yangtze River.

Wang Pu was dressed in a long robe and looked up at the bow of the boat. Guo Shao walked over from the deck and watched the scene on the river for a long time. The sails were little by little, the wheels of the waterwheel turned and rattled, and white waves splashed on the river.

After a long time, Guo Shao said: There are two land states in the middle of the river. The Yangtze River has three waterways here, and the westernmost one is the narrowest. When Wang Shijun supervises the construction of the pontoon bridge, he should consider the convenient demolition of the western one.

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, General Guo wants to give way to the naval ships?

Guo Shaodao: Exactly. The quarrying ferry has been occupied, and our army has built a large pontoon bridge. Jinling can't sit idly by anyway. The first threat to the quarrying is the reinforcements from the Southern Tang Dynasty from Jinling... Li Chuyun put the main force of the navy on the north side of the river and built a water village there. He should have expected it.

However, the Southern Tang Army still has a large number of sailors in Hukou, so beware of them breaking through the defense lines of Wankou and Chizhou. At that time, Li Chuyun's navy should cross the pontoon bridge and meet the enemy in the south; only one pontoon bridge can be demolished.

Wang Pu thought so.

At this time, the warship arrived at the quarry ferry on the east bank, and everyone observed it on the river. Guo Shao wanted to go ashore to meet Li Chuyun, so he parted ways with Wang Pu and went ashore from the quarry. Li Chuyun's Zhongjun Xingyuan is at the Caishi Wharf.

At first, the itinerary for Guo Shao and others to leave Hezhou was just to inspect the river. It was Guo Shao's temporary decision to cross the river to see Li Chuyun.

Guo Shao and Li Chuyun hadn't seen each other for a few months, but Li Chuyun saw that Guo Shao didn't take care of his health, so he asked directly: I sent someone to report something urgent to the lord in an hour, did the lord receive it?

Guo Shaodao: No, the report is probably still in Hezhou. What's the matter with General Li?

Let's talk in the lobby.

A group of people then entered the room, and Li Chuyun said: Make a secret report, the Jiangning Mansion has frequently mobilized troops and horses recently, and it is rumored that reinforcements will be sent to quarry!

Guo Shao's expression suddenly became serious. After a while he said: Quarrying is very important, we must not miss this battle.

Li Chuyun said: The most likely target of the Southern Tang army going south from Jiangning Mansion is the Caishi Ferry, followed by Dangtu City. If it is the Caishi Ferry, I plan to use Gao Yanchou's troops and Long Jie Army infantry to guard the Caishi Suoxi River and face the enemy head-on; the Long Jie Army cavalry ambushed on the Shipo Mountain to the southeast of the Caishi. When the Suoxi River battlefield was in formation for a decisive battle, the Shipo Mountain ambushes rushed out of the forest and quickly rushed to the enemy's rear flank to shake their camp...

Maybe the target is Dangtu City? Guo Shao pondered.

Li Chuyun put his palm on his bushy beard and said: The Southern Tang army attacked the quarry with obvious intentions. They wanted to take back the ferry and rebuild the river defense. If it succeeds, this is the most beneficial approach for the Southern Tang Kingdom.

However, if the commander of the Southern Tang Army thinks that the field battle is not our army's elite opponent, there is a safer way: to reinforce Dangtu City. The intention of this law is not to guard the great river, but to guard Jiangning.

Guo Shao suddenly said: I understand.

Li Chuyun nodded and said: As long as Dangtu City has heavy troops, and my army wants to march from quarrying to Jiangning Mansion, the ferry and the back will always be under the threat of Dangtu City. We will be forced to attack the city instead of a field battle.

Guo Shaodao: Transfer the warships to the west bank, and urgently dispatch the three armies of the Huben Army to the quarrying, so as to deploy the quarrying battle.

Guo Shao stayed in Jiangdong. The early tactical deployment was that the main force of the Long Jie Army set up a large formation at the Suoxi River (quarry wharf) to wait for work; the cavalry of the first army of the Huben Army and the cavalry infantry of the second and third armies were deployed on Shipo Mountain in the southeast;

If the Southern Tang army circumvented Dangtu City from the east, Gao Yanchou's troops would attack eastward, and the main force of the Zhou army near Caishi would then reinforce Gao Yanchou.

...

Here Guo Shao was in a hurry to mobilize the Huben Army to cross the river, but he still overestimated the reaction speed of the Southern Tang Army. Ten days later, Huangfu Jixun set off from Jiangning Mansion, Lin Renzhao went first, followed by more than 40,000 Huangfu Jixun's main force.

Lin Renzhao sent a large number of scouts to the south to inquire about the military situation, and found Gao Yanxuan's tribe camped 20 miles southeast of Caishi. Two days later, Lin Renzhao's striker rode more than 10,000 paces to Suoxi River North and stopped.

He rode back to the main army in person, and said to the chief general Huangfu Jixun: It is not suitable to take quarries in this battle, let's go to pangtu first.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jixun had a disbelieving expression on his face, and said very bluntly: You have a brain problem? Dangtu has become an isolated city, and Zhou Jun is crossing the river by quarrying. Why don't we take back the quarrying ferry nearby and run to Dangtu to drink the northwest wind?

Lin Renzhao heard the unpleasant tone and suppressed his anger: Our soldiers can still fight on the water, and they can defend the city. They will lose in field battles on foot and horses! If we go to quarry now, if we can't defeat the Zhou army head-on, we will lose our achievements. The next best thing is to retreat and reinforce Dangtu with the army. Although this city is an isolated city, fortunately, the fortifications are strong and there is sufficient food and grass. Our army can garrison for a long time.

Huangfu Jixun sneered and said, It's a bird to guard Dangtu! Now that Dangtu City is in our hands, is it blocking Zhou's army? Go to the riverside and stare wide-eyed, Zhou's army is still swaggering and crossing the river from quarrying!

Lin Renzhao said: Dangtu City could not threaten the Zhou army because it was too weak to leave the city. The 60,000 troops of our army moved in, and the situation was completely different. As long as the main force of the Zhou army dared to go north to attack the capital, our troops could attack Dangtu themselves, recapture the ferry and cut off the Zhou army's retreat.

Huangfu Jixun shook his head and said: When you were in Jiangning, you were the one who was eager to fight, and when the army was dispatched, you were the one who wanted to hide in Tibet.

Lin Renzhao was furious: Whoever wins the fight, my mother is willing to go on like this. What's the use of dying if you can't win?

Huangfu Jixun sneered and said: In that case, you might as well surrender.

Lin Renzhao said: You are willing to die, you go! I have gone to Dangtu! You can say what you want, Your Majesty has your words first, I don't have to listen to you, and I can directly obey the imperial court.

Lin Renzhao returned to the barracks full of anger, and cursed the chief general Huangfu Jixun in front of all the soldiers.

At this time, he saw the scouts from Dangtu City again, and he was furious again when he learned the details of the field battle on the bank of Guxi River. Regardless of the bad influence, he cursed in public: Yang Shou is just a fool! How did this kind of person become a general of the Southern Tang Dynasty? The court doesn't know how to employ people!

The generals were busy persuading him. Many colleagues at the top were at odds with Lin Renzhao, on the contrary, the lower ranks quickly became friends with him, because Lin Renzhao always shared weal and woe with everyone, and he would not deduct military pay and rewards, and he was very fair in dealing with things, so the soldiers naturally liked him.

Lin Renzhao let out a burst of fire, and finally had no impulse to stand still, waiting for Huangfu Jixun's army to arrive.

It is reported that there is a Zhou army in the south of Dahuang Mountain, a native of Shu. During the Battle of Huainan, Lin Renzhao had seen the fighting power of the soldiers from the Kingdom of Shu, but he didn't take it seriously at all... If Huangfu Jixun agreed to go to Pawn Tu together, as long as one force holds the people of Shu, the main force of the Southern Tang Army can go to Pawn Tu from the east.

But now that Lin Renzhaoteng didn't make a move, the Shu people might delay Lin Renzhao instead, and then attract the Caishi Zhou army to besiege.

So Lin Renzhao waited for the main force of the Southern Tang Army. When the main force went to quarry to fight against the Zhou army, Lin Renzhao went south to defeat the people of Shu, so that he would not be besieged.

Lin Renzhao stood still, and Huangfu Jixun also couldn't stand still. Tens of thousands of troops spent three or four days in the field doing nothing.

Lin Renzhao just didn't understand what Huangfu Jixun meant, when an official document from the court came, asking why Lin Renzhao, as a striker, stayed put!

Now he finally understands, that guy Huangfu Jixun has filed a complaint these days! Of course Lin Renzhao was unwilling to go to quarry and attack the elite Zhou army. So he wrote a letter to argue that it was beneficial to go to Tucheng by himself; after Lin Renzhao's troops increased troops to Dangtu City, the number of troops in the city could reach more than 20,000, which would pose a great threat to the quarry ferry and the Zhou army in the future.

Soon, Li Yu came with an imperial decree, decreing that if Lin Renzhao wanted to reinforce Dangtu, he should leave as soon as possible without delay.

After some wrangling, Lin Renzhao had no choice but to take the lead to detour to the east, and then went south to Dangtu City. It was agreed that Huangfu Jixun would launch an attack on the quarry as soon as possible to prevent the main force of the Zhou army from withdrawing its hand.

A day later, Lin Renzhao received a report that the Shu army in Dahuangshan was dispatched to the east and blocked the front. Lin Renzhao sent people to Huangfu Jixun's camp overnight to confirm the situation, and learned that Huangfu Jixun's troops had dispatched to the vicinity of the Suoxi River; although they had not yet clashed with Zhou's army, the distance was very close, and the two sides were already at war.

Lin Renzhao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the elite Zhou army of the quarrying army was held back, wouldn't the people of Shu here be defeated at the first touch?

Lin Renzhao then ordered the battle to start early the next morning, and lined up to attack Gao Yanchou!

...

In the evening, the main force of the Southern Tang Army was several miles away from the Suoxi River. It is reported that the Southern Tang army camp occupies a very large area, with about 50,000 people!

Li Yu did spend a lot of money this time. The problem Guo Shao is facing now is that there are only more than 10,000 people in the right wing of the Long Jiejun in the camp of the Caishi Wharf (some of them are still in the hands of Luo Yanhuan in Chizhou).

The frontal force disparity is a bit big! The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty may not be as elite as that of the Zhou Army, but it has several times the superiority in numbers. Both Guo Shao and Li Chuyun feel that the risk is relatively high.

Then there is still a reserve force, the three armies of the Huben Army on Shipo Mountain near the quarrying battlefield, there are also nearly 10,000 people... This mobile force is used to support the frontal support on the quarrying battlefield?

If the Huben army goes north to support them, then the Southern Tang army's east side will be pawned. This time it is the elite of the Southern Tang army's forbidden army, and Gao Yanchou may not be able to stop them. Li Chuyun said.

Guo Shao didn't say a word, just bowed his head in thought.

Li Chuyun said again: The enemy soldiers going to Dangtu are on the defensive. The tens of thousands of troops here are indeed aggressive, and quarrying is even more important. General Guo is cautious. Why don't we transfer the Tiger's army to the north and stabilize the quarrying situation?
