Chapter 825 Entering the Urn!
Xie Zhuyang was sitting on the city gate building, drinking tea. What he was drinking was what Prince Pingxi of the Yan Kingdom loved most and would definitely point out when talking about the tea ceremony... Daze Fragrant Tongue.
The head of the Xie family is one of the Four Pillar Countries. Although his family is not among the four great nobles of Chu, in terms of heritage and accumulation, it is only higher than other great nobles.
Nothing else, low-key.
A family head who dared to call His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, Xiong Laosi, and almost raised an army to rebel against the Xiong family the year before last, was definitely not mentally ill, but rather had the confidence to do so.
The Xie family is actually closely related to the Helian family in the Chu region. The Helian family also has the blood of the barbarians. It is said that when the Marquis of Jin opened the land of Jin to drive out the barbarians, he was the first barbarian general to serve under his tent. Although the ancestors of the Xie family were not Shanyue people, but as the earliest enfeoffment As a great nobleman in southern Xinjiang, the Xie family had intermarryed and assimilated with the local Shanyue people very early;
Xiong Tingshan, the fifth prince of Chu, almost became a heretic because he married a Shanyue woman, but things like this Son, Mr. Xie has been doing this for hundreds of years.
The Shanyue tribe in Wutong County has been resisting fiercely, and this is how Xiong Tingshan relied on to make a fortune. However, the location of the Xie family and its territory are much peaceful after all, because the local Chu people think that the Xie family They are one of their own people, and the Shanyue people also think that Xie is one of their own people.
After the Emperor of Chu came to the throne, he lifted a series of restrictions on the Shanyue tribes, hoping to absorb the power of the Shanyue people for the use of the Chu court. In fact, the Xie family had been doing this secretly for a long time.
Imagine that after Qu Tiannan sent away the main force of the Qingluan Army in Yupan City, he could immediately organize another Qingluan Army at home and let the young master Qu Peiluo continue to send it away. It can be seen how terrifying the accumulation of this noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years is.
Of course, there is another thing. If Prince Pingxi stands here and watches Xie Zhuguo drink cup after cup of Osawa Fragrant Tongue, he will have a deeper understanding of Xie's heritage;
This damn thing must have become drug-resistant after drinking too much!
The father was drinking tea,
The son was lying there applying medicine.
“Dad, it’s good that you’re here.”
"Why?"
"My son is not at ease when I leave the Zhennan Pass. My Dachu Kingdom has already lost three pillars in the hands of King Pingxi. I'm really afraid that you will also break it. It's just a chance to join in." Table Bamboo Card."
Xie Zhuyang nodded and said: " Yes, dad is also afraid. Some things are so evil, so dad is thinking, if King Ping Xi is really destined, then wouldn't he just serve it to others if he goes forward? "< br>
"It's better to be here." Xie Yu'an said.
“Dad has brought 20,000 soldiers, and the rest are still looking after the house.”
"That's enough. This time, we, Da Chu, are just going to help Gan Ren."
"The Gan people are reliable, sows can climb trees."
"The pigs are all over the mountain." Although he was annoyed when he ran, the pig stayed in the pigpen obediently "
At this moment, a guard from outside came in and reported:
"Master, young master, the beacon in front sent a message that the Yan army has arrived at Shi Sui. Fort!”
Xie Zhuyang nodded, stood up, and was about to walk out when he hesitated for a moment, looked at his son, and said:
"How about together?"
"Okay. I thought you would give me a try You want to find an excuse to keep me safe."
"You think about your father too much. Why don't you take Qianliju with you at home?
Yes,
If you are really unreliable and you are rolled down by the Yan people, the Liang Kingdom will probably be turned upside down. If you are with your father, he can easily take you back to the Chu Kingdom. "
"Alas. ”
Xie Yuan sighed and got out of bed.
Before leaving, he took away the two oranges on the coffee table.
……
"Man, is it you who shouted?"
Standing on the tower, Xie Zhuyang asked his son.
"Yes."
Xie Yuan rested his hands on the battlements. Those who didn't know it thought he was anxiously looking at the enemy situation from the north, but the guards knew that it was the young master. My ass can't touch the stool now.
“How did you expect that he would definitely come?”
From the past few years, Xie Zhuyang has become accustomed to asking his son when he encounters things he doesn't understand, and he will probably listen to his son's advice. The two times he didn't intend to listen, his son forced him to hold the egg with a knife. Changed it back.
"Eager to perform meritorious service, with just these four words, the Yan State's Nanmen Pass Commander-in-Chief was able to climb from a little person to where he is now because he wanted to climb up. But today, his end , also because he wants to climb up too much. Xie Zhuyang nodded and said:
"After going to the Weihe River, my father once read the military intelligence reports on the last time King Ping Xi of Yan State drove straight into Fan City. When Nian Yao was there, his commander-in-chief I have developed a habit of reviewing each of my opponent's battles. It's okay. I made a mistake for my father.
When King Ping Xi led his army into Chu, the vanguard army was the key. "
After all, the leader of the vanguard army at that time was the Savage King.
"The vanguard opened the way, covered the battlefield, and marched quickly. There was still a group of servants and horses left at Zhennanguan. In critical moments , and can also be used as backup.
Look at the Nanmen Pass Commander-in-Chief again. Judging from the military reports, he did nothing that he was supposed to do. He only focused on leading a lone army towards the capital of Daliang. ”
After King Jingnan left, King Pingxi undoubtedly became the main research target of generals from other countries. Furthermore, the last battle of Fancheng was not that long ago, and there were too many things to ruminate on.< br>
For Xie Zhuyang, after recalling the handiwork of King Pingxi in leading the army, and then looking at Ran Min who was about to arrive, although they were both Yan generals, the gap was really so big that it made people uncomfortable.
Xie Yu'an said:
"You are reviewing the situation after the fact. I think you have already regarded Ran Min as a turtle in the urn. Although my son also thinks so, if we stand there Looking at it from Mr. Ran’s perspective, he actually didn’t do anything wrong.
Ping. When the Lord of the West marched, he was in our Chu land. The military forts and counties were densely packed, and they were all Chu people;
On their march, Mr. Ran was all Liang soldiers and civilians. To the Yan people, Liang was their country. Marching in Liang, a subordinate country, does not feel like marching in a foreign country at all
Furthermore,
What Mr. Ran received was my forged document asking for help from the king. If the Yan people don’t even look down on me, Gan Chu, how can they look down on Liang Guo?
And when the political situation changes, people's hearts are often the most volatile at the beginning, and there are the most opportunities to take advantage of it, making it the most suitable to intervene.
Ran Min leads his troops and horses, as long as they can reach the capital in time;
If the leader of the country has quelled the rebellion, he can also lead his army into the capital of the Liang Kingdom, just like that The old affairs of Prince Pingxi inserted the black dragon flag of the Yan people into the heart of the Liang Kingdom.
If the leader of the country is still in a stalemate with the rebels, he can act as the magic weapon descending from the sky and settle the affairs of the Liang Kingdom in one fell swoop, which is a great achievement.
If the leader of the country has just lost, and the rebels have just come to power, and the people below are unstable, Ran Min comes, and with the help of the tiger skin of Yan, he can turn the sky of Liang over again. Going back, this is the true reconstruction of the world.
So, he really doesn’t think of ‘underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly’, but the best choice in his position. "
"But you still guessed it? "Xie Zhuyang looked at his son and said.
Because, when Ran Min received the request for help, the coup against the leader of the Liang Kingdom had not yet happened. His son could be said to have made plans before acting, and he was very comfortable. Very.
"I only dare to guess him. If the opposite party is King Pingxi of Yan State, I won't dare to guess, because guessing is useless."
"Pa!"
Xie Zhuyang slapped his son on the back of the head.
"Your mother can't do it, but my aunt can."
Xie Zhuyang took a deep breath and said, "Dad, can we stop doing this, with so many people watching?"
Xie Zhuyang looked around, and all the guards lowered their heads.
"Come on, what would happen if it were King Pingxi?" Xie Zhuyang urged.
"King Pingxi is not in a hurry. He will mobilize a few troops and horses to lead the way, call on the other countries to cooperate, and then use his own king's control to slowly press forward step by step.
< br>There is no need to fight, the Liang Kingdom will surrender immediately, and at the same time, it can also declare to Wei, Zhao, and Qi who is the real suzerain country.
The difference is,
The name is different, the prestige is different, and the other is that in Ran Min's view, the meritorious service that is worthy of grabbing at all costs is not worth mentioning in the view of Prince Pingxi.
When fishing, you need to use bait. I prepared the bait for Ran Min, but I couldn't prepare the bait that Prince Pingxi could take the bait. "
"Alas. "Xie Zhuyang also sighed and said, "When I went to the Wei River, I found that many people from the Chu region had begun to secretly flee to the Jin region. "
"You have to win, you have to muddy the water, and you have to go step by step. There is no hope for you. "
"Report! ! ! The Yan army has passed Yong'an Fort! ”
“We’re almost there, Dad, we can close the door.”
“Dad knows, you’re just sitting here to take charge?”
“Yes, I still have to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Qian Kingdom. , Ran Min took the bait, I have to use him as bait, haha."
......
Ran Min led his army on a long-distance attack without encountering any obstruction along the way. Even the last barrier to the north of Liang's capital city, Lion's Head Pass, was seen by its guard. When the Yan army arrived, they also took the initiative to open the door and let the Yan army pass.
After passing Lion's Head Pass, continuing to the south is the capital of Liang Kingdom, to the east is Wenming Mountain, and to the west is Wenxin Lake, the largest lake in Liang Kingdom.
The lake is very wide, which also means that the reed marshes and wetlands are also extremely vast.
Wenming Mountain and Wenxin Lake are the most famous mountains and waters in the Liang Kingdom, but at this time, Ran Min had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery after summer.
He wanted to reach the capital of Liang State as soon as possible and put down the chaos there. He had even thought about how to separate himself and Dayan just like Prince Pingxi did when he entered the Jin Palace and entered Yingdu. Promote the prestige to the extreme!
However, just when Liang Guoguo could almost see the capital, a red cloud appeared on the horizon.
The romance of the Chu people is most vividly reflected in the armor of their army, while the Yan people are indeed much more rigid in this regard.
Xie Jiajun began to advance in an orderly manner. Shield soldiers, spearmen, crossbowmen, sword and axemen, and even the cavalry on both sides totaled a thousand cavalry, forming an extremely neat and rigorous formation. sense of order.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing for the Chu people is that since the war with the Yan people in these years, their real elite infantry phalanx has not actually fought against the Yan people seriously.
Of course, this is mainly because the Yan people will not give this opportunity.
But right now,
The only road to the capital of Liang Kingdom was blocked.
Ran Min opened his mouth, and the scattered cavalry kept reporting to him, the general, on the military situation ahead;
This is a Chu army, because the opponent has already raised its flag. .
The Chu army appeared in Liang State. This was a big news.
Ran Min's mind began to calm down quickly;
He did not give orders and went directly to the formation. Faced with that kind of meticulous formation, no enemy general with a right mind would want to fight in the most primitive way to see who has the stronger head.
He ordered his lieutenant to lead a group of troops back, while he led his troops and began to prepare for the upcoming charge.
Xie Zhuyang continued to follow his own rhythm and ordered Xie Jiajun to start steadily stepping forward to apply pressure.
The pressure brought by Dayan's Black Dragon Banner is indeed unimaginable, but the advantage of private soldiers is that when their family leader is by their side, they can withstand most of the fear.
This relatively static confrontation lasted for a long time.
Until,
Ran Min waited for his lieutenant to return.
Shitou Pass, which he had let him in before, chose to close it when faced with the Yan people’s call again. At the same time, he also Several Yan Jun knights were shot and killed.
The feeling of being in an urn came over me all of a sudden.
Soon,
Ran Min gave the order and his troops began to charge into the formation.
The contact between the two sides presented an extremely classic confrontation between cavalry and infantry phalanxes.
The Yan army tried to squeeze the Chu army's formation with constant oppression, while the Chu army showed their fangs to the Yan knights and began to further actively compress the space, hoping to stick to it. The cavalry of the Yan people.
The soldiers on both sides were very nervous. After all, they were the front-line fighters, but the generals on both sides were exceptionally calm.
Ran Min saw that the Chu army was only trying to expel him and block his progress;
Xie Zhuyang saw that the Yan army was not determined to defeat the enemy;
In the end,
with the Yan army charging twice, it failed to shake the Chu army but forced the Chu army to pull back. After opening the contact distance, Yan Jun chose to move east.
The Wenxin Lake Wetland to the west would make the Yan army's horses get stuck in the mud and become useless and become a liability.
But, heading east...
Xie Zhuyang did not order a quick pursuit. Instead, after asking his subordinates to consolidate the battlefield, he continued to march at the original pace. He neither chose to return to the capital of Liang State nor to explore further, but advanced some distance to the east. Later, at dusk, the order was given to build a stronghold.
The distance between the two sides did not widen too much. After all, the Yan people rushed over and fought with the Chu army again. Now they were also short of men and horses, so it was impossible to move too far at once.
Waiting until nightfall,
the scouts on both sides took advantage of the cover of night to kill happily, temporarily blocking out the countless chirping of cicadas in the summer.
…
In the commander's tent,
Xie Zhuyang received the latest report from his sentry cavalry.
There were many sentry cavalry in the Yan army heading north.
"Okay, got it."
Xie Zhuyang waved his hand, supported the handsome table with his hand, leaned his head, and fell asleep slowly.
…
Contrary to Xie Zhuyang’s dreamy atmosphere, Yan Jun was in a dilemma at the foot of Wenming Mountain.
In Wenming County, the defenders are Liang Jun, but they stand with a banner with the word "Pu";
This is an elite Liang army that once fought with the Chu army in the Qishan Mountains , but at this time, here, under the leadership of the surrendered general, blocked the Yan people's way to the east.
The bonfire in front of him kept making crisp noises, making Ran Min's face flicker in and out, which also confirmed his inner feelings at this time.
The loss of the soldiers and horses under his command was not huge, but the supplies had been exhausted. In the original plan, after entering the Liang Kingdom to quell the chaos, everything would not be lacking, but now, they are in this dilemma.
It is not impossible to bypass Wenming County and continue south to the capital of the Liang Kingdom. However, when the Chu army has appeared north of the capital, the situation in the capital of the Liang Kingdom will naturally not be what people want. Doing so will only make your troops more passive, and you will lose even the space to move.
The closure of Lion Head Pass means that the possibility of returning to the original route is also blocked.
Continuing to the east, walking through the Qishan Mountains, you can take a detour back to Nanmen Pass, but if you go there, you might as well go around Wenxin Lake.
The biggest problem is the Chu army. It poked it there and made itself choked. No matter whether it advanced or retreated, it was clamped.
Ran Min picked up the water bag and took a sip of water;
He had already sent people to go north, hoping to use the advantage of a small group of cavalry to cross the blockade and report home.
Somehow, he had a hunch that it was wrong for him to do this. He was a rough man and had no musical skills, but after watching the social opera, it seemed that he was performing in the direction expected by the other party. ;
But he can't sit back and watch his troops really fall into danger of destruction,
In these years,
The people of Yan,
the imperial court,
have become accustomed to winning, and can even be said to be numb to winning, but the more so, a sudden defeat will arouse greater anger. Backlash.
In the past, it was so difficult for the eldest prince Wangjiang to recover from his defeat. How could he, Ran Min, be a fart?
“Use force to defeat cleverness, use force to defeat cleverness.”
Ran Min muttered to himself,
"As long as the main force arrives, this lone force's deep penetration can become a self-made bait to lure the enemy into the game. Dayan's chances of winning are still very high!"
Ran Min, who had just drank water, suddenly felt dry again.
Yes, yes,
In the past, King Pingxi was besieged after going deep alone, and then he waited for reinforcements, achieved a great victory, and achieved his first success!
......
Jindong, Fengxin City;
Pingxi Prince's Mansion;
"Ah, Chu Nu, I am Pingxi Prince, take my life!"
"Ah, kill!"
Prince Ji Chuanye and Tiantian were playing a war game that children should play;
After guessing, Tiantian lost and had to play the Chu army. The prince won and played the Yan army, and also assumed the role of King Pingxi. among.
In the land of Yan and Jin, many children fight every day over who will play Prince Pingxi.
The prince rushed towards Tiantian with a wooden knife.
Tiantian started to retreat, not because he was worried about the identity of the prince and did not dare to fight, but because he knew that he was playing the role of a Chu person. Chu people had no choice but to escape!
But the prince Xu was too excited and too involved. When he was "chasing" Chu Nu, he tripped and fell to the ground, and the wooden knife flew out.
Tiantian hurriedly came over and helped the prince up.
The prince began to cry;
"If you don't cry, brother, I will take you to find the big snake to get its scales."
The prince shook his head and said:
"I actually lost. How could our Yan army lose..." (End of Chapter)
