Chapter 660 A crushing defeat ([-])
South Road lost?

When hearing these four words, Yang Shu took a sharp breath.Looking at Li Shao again, his face was also full of shock, his eyes protruded slightly, he seemed so horrified that he couldn't even move his eyes.

At the beginning of Yuan Cheng's march to the north, he had already issued an order, appointing Xing Luan as commander-in-chief and Cui Yanbo as deputy, to divide Yuan Xi Kangsheng's [-]th army to conquer Gaozhao into two, and each of them led a part.

Xing Luan led [-] people to stay in Guanzhong and temporarily stationed in Yuanzhou (formerly Gaoping Town), and Cui Yanbo led [-] people to Shanshan Town.

Afterwards, Army Sima Yuanqin confiscated [-] people from Guanzhong and Beidi, sent [-] to Cui Yanbo, and distributed [-] to Xing Luan.

At the same time, Tuyuhun and Rouran sent troops one after another, and Xi Kangsheng reorganized and surrendered the army in the north, which was also quite effective.So the imperial court moved to the original place to replace Li Chong, the general who conquered the South and Huaihe Rivers, Yuan Yao went north, transferred to the general who conquered the North, and supervised the affairs of the North Conqueror.

The first thing Yuan Yao did after he took office was to re-deploy the military strategy: Cui Yanbo was still stationed in Shanshan Town, waiting to be united with Tuyuhun soldiers before heading towards Hexi.

Xing Luan moved to Bugulu, and with Cui Yanbo one south and one north, the soldiers pointed at Wuwei and Zhangye.

Yuan Yao then went north to Xiazhou to take over the nearly 20 surrendered soldiers that Xi Kangsheng had reorganized, and then moved westward to the territory of the Xihai River Canal Division in the Han Dynasty. It was less than [-] miles from Wuwei Xuannong County and only [-] miles from Wuwei County. .

The plan is also very simple. When Rouran is dispatched, even if only half of the troops are dispatched, there are still 20 troops, which is more than enough to besiege the northern and western borders of the West Sea.At that time, Cui Yanbo on the South Road, Xing Luan on the Middle Road, and Yuanyao on the North Road will all be able to advance side by side, pushing towards the West Sea like overwhelming mountains.

There are nearly 50 troops in three groups, and there are nearly [-] Tuyuhunjing cavalry. They should be able to force the soldiers of Xihai to the north of Heli Mountain with a force of destruction.

The so-called ants kill elephants means that there are all kinds of firearms in the West Sea, but there are only tens of thousands of troops, how can they be the opponent of nearly a million troops?At that time, Li Chengzhi will be like a turtle in a urn, with no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth.

But who would have thought that Rouran's army would go out of Mobei, thousands of miles away from the West Sea, Li Chengzhi would strike first and attack the South Road.

It's nothing more than a strong attack, not only a victory, but a big victory?

Li Shao and Yang Shu couldn't figure it out: How did Cui Yanbo, a well-known general in the world, lose with nearly 20 troops?
The two fought for half their lives, and they were both men who knew how to fight. They knew each other well: Li Chengzhi must have launched suddenly, while Cui Yanbo would have collapsed at the first touch.And the date of the war will never be more than ten days away.Otherwise, Shanshan town would be only a thousand miles away from Bogulu, and the letter should have been received long ago.

Cui Yanbo has 20 troops under his command, and they are defending according to Jiancheng and Xiongguan.On the other hand, Li Chengzhi, even if he smokes a dime every household, it is estimated that Xihai can make up about 20 yuan.That's it, knowing that Yuanyao has arrived at Hequsi and Rouran has sent troops, Li Chengzhi will never put all his eggs in one basket and send them all to conquer Shanshan.

If you can send [-]%, I'm afraid it will last to the sky.

But why did Cui Yanbo lose so quickly?

Suspicious in his heart, Li Shao looked at Yuan Qin, then at Yuan Yi.

The faces of the two were not as ugly as usual, but Xing Luan was the same as him, full of horror, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime.

It seems that Xing Luan also didn't know what to do.

But isn't it?

If Xihai sends troops to Shanshan Town, it must pass through Wuwei County.But now Yuanyao has 20 soldiers in the north of Wuwei. How can such a large battle go unheard?
It was also even more impossible to turn a blind eye to Ren Cui Yanbo's defeat.

Furthermore, Cui Yanbo, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, should not have been quietly stolen by Li Chengzhi even if he underestimated the enemy.But if it wasn't for stealing the camp, why did he lose so suddenly?

Thinking to himself, Li Shao clasped his fists and asked suspiciously: "A few days ago, I heard His Highness mention that King Ren Cheng has borrowed [-] fine cavalry from the Tianzhu tribe, and about [-] light cavalry from Bailan, Beiqiang and other tribes. One hundred thousand troops went to Shanshan Town to help Cui Xianzi (Cui Yanbo), could it be possible that they all stood by and watched the fire from the other side during this war?"

It's okay not to mention Tuyuhun, but when Tuyuhun was mentioned, Yuan Qin felt as uncomfortable as eating shit, his facial features twisted into a ball: "If it wasn't for Tuyuhun, how could Cui Yanbo be defeated so quickly?"

Hearing it at first glance, it seems that Tuyuhun turned his back on the front line, but everyone in the hall knows that it is definitely not the case.

But he didn't know the inside story, so Yang Shu scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and urgently urged: "Please ask the magistrate to clarify..."

Yuan Qin sighed, and said eloquently: "On April [-]th, the three tribes of Tianzhu, Bailan, Beiqiang, Anyuan and other tribes joined forces in Salt Lake, with a total of more than [-] elite riders. Fu Lianchou worshiped King Youguli as his Commanding the entire army. It is divided into six divisions with more than [-] cavalry, each with about [-] cavalry...

King Ren Cheng made an agreement with Murong Xiao that day, four of them would accompany His Royal Highness across Qilian, cross the river, enter Nanmen Pass (Tuyuhun and Yuan Wei Guancheng, in Datong County, Xining City today), and form horns with Shanshan Town.The remaining two units are temporarily stationed in Salt Lake, and when the war comes together, they will rush to Zhenyi through the Hanyang grassland...

After the agreement, His Highness set off with Murong Xiao the next day, and arrived at Tianmen Gate two days later.At that time, Murong Xiao said that the two countries originally came from the same source, and the fact that the present prosperity has not been seen in a hundred years should be celebrated.His Highness also thought that I was in heaven and could not lose courtesy, so he readily agreed.He also ordered the deputy envoy Li Xian to buy a lot of cattle and sheep from outside the pass, slaughter them on the spot, and reward the army to boost morale...

In this way, the first two days were all safe and sound, but on the third day when the wheel arrived at the north of Tianzhu, and when they were drunk, some soldiers suddenly went crazy.Afterwards, for some unknown reason, an army (battalion) screamed in just a moment...

At that time, the city king, Li Xian, Murong Xiao, and the three famous kings of Tianzhu gathered together to listen to the report from the soldiers. Murong Xiao was afraid that Xiao's battalion would disrupt the whole army, so he made a decisive decision and ordered the local battalion to surround the north of Tianzhu. battalion, and ordered the famous king in the north of Tianzhu to lead his troops to quell the chaos...

His Royal Highness Ren Chengwang only thought that there were occasional soldiers who were overwhelmed with alcohol and occasionally suffered from madness, and because Murong Xiao was quite decisive and did not lead to chaos, he did not comment on it... But it was only three or four quarters, and the soldiers of the Xiaoying had not yet appeared. Pingding, I suddenly saw the flames in the north of the camp, and the sound of explosions was like thunder, and it was continuous.

After His Highness and Murong Xiao rushed out of the tent, only the soldiers came to report, saying that the mountains and plains were full of Xihai Jiaqi.But as soon as the sparks flashed, thunder came down, no matter people, horses, carts, or tents, they were all blown to pieces... And that's all, Xihai Jiaqi looked straight at Murongxiao's body as if he had eyes. The Chinese army is attacking..."

"Sound from east to west?"

Yuan Yi felt his scalp go numb, and stood up abruptly, "Could it be that in the wine and meat, someone drugged him to arrive at the Xiaoying Camp of the First Army?"

Yuan Qin paused suddenly: "How did Your Highness know?"

Looking at his appearance, Yuan Yi knew that he was right: "If a few people go crazy, it's far from letting more than a thousand soldiers roar in the camp. If there is another change in the future. But everyone knows that Li Chengzhi is good at the art of Qi and Huang. Xu Jian and Wang Xian, the censors, were full of praise. That's why I had a sudden idea, I think it must be Li Chengzhi's plan?"

Yuan Yi hesitated for a while, and the horror in his eyes deepened, "But it's not easy to poison only one battalion, unless there is Xihai Secret Work hidden in the Tuyuhun camp, and they are in high positions?"

Yuan Qin was so annoyed: Even Yuan Yi could think of why Yuan Cheng and Li Xian were not alert and just thought it was a coincidence?

He never thought about it at all: when Li Chengzhi saved the emperor, the empress dowager and escaped death, he was most good at using medicine.Why didn't he infer by analogy, thinking that it was Saikai Xisaku who was poisoned?
But what's the point of regretting it now?
He sighed sadly and continued: "Your Highness clearly saw that no one thought of this festival at that time. It was just that the soldiers were impatient with drunkenness and had occasional hysteria. But it was not until the golden city was defeated and the river crossed the river at night that there were no close friends to Murong. Xiao Bing reported that in addition to the army at the north of Tianzhu Yingxiao that night, another army suddenly came out of the camp and rushed into the rear army, and then saw the flames in the rear camp, obviously burning the food and grass of the army.

Not to mention burning food and grass, this army sent out fireworks to lead the way for the Xihai army, so Murong Xiao's central army collapsed so quickly... After Murong Xiao cross-examined, he found out which army was his account Go down to the strong army of the former army, this army is on duty that night, so it is convenient..."

Speaking of this, all the people in the tent were terrified and cold.

Li Chengzhi was able to buy off all the cronies under Murong Xiao's command. Is there such a person around Tuyuhun Hanting and Fu Lianchou?

In this way, the court borrowed troops from Tuyuhun and Ren Chengwang sent an envoy to Fuluochuan, isn't it all under Li Chengzhi's control?
If it wasn't so, how could Xihai be able to pinpoint the timing so accurately that the Tuyuhun army suddenly attacked the camp just when they left the Nanmen Pass and their foothold was not stable?

What's more: I'm afraid it wasn't Murong Xiao's idea to be the king of the city to reward the three armies, but it was also built by Xihai Xizuo?
But even so, it wouldn't be so quick to lose, let alone implicate Cui Yanbo, right?
Li Shao was suspicious, but because of his special status, it was difficult to ask in detail.He raised his eyes to look at Xing Luan, and saw that he was startled, suspicious and impatient, so he knew that he was just like himself.

With a light cough, Li Shao winked at Xing Luan again.

At this moment, why else?Xing Lian immediately understood, and Chao Yuanqin bowed: "Xing is confused, I don't know how Cui Xianzi was defeated, please be more specific..."

"At a certain moment, the governor is not to blame!"

Yuan Qin realized that there was no beginning and no end until he realized later.Wiping the sweat off his head, he said again: "At that time, a certain guard was stationed in Yuzhong County, east of the Dahe River, and used this as a hub to transport food for the son of Cui County and the king of the city. Suddenly, soldiers came to report , said that the west of the river is full of rout soldiers, and countless people fell into the river. I wanted to send soldiers across the river to investigate, but when His Highness, Murong Xiao, and Li Xianxun came to the camp, I heard a general idea:
It should be careful work to poison the wine and food first, leading an army to storm the camp.Then, taking advantage of the panic in the camp, he sneaked into the rear camp and burned the food and grass, causing chaos in the whole army.Afterwards, using the fireworks as a signal, he led Xihai Jiaqi to attack Murong Xiao's tent in a hurry, causing Murong Xiao to be in chaos, and fled without fighting.

In just a few moments, more than [-] troops collapsed like a dike and landslide.However, Xihai did not give up on this, but divided his troops into two groups, one in the south of Huangshui, and the other in the north of Dahe.After that, there will be pursuers, and there will be ambushes in both the north and the south, and the defeated army can only flee eastward...

However, Nanmen Pass is only a hundred li away from Shanshan Town, and most of Tuyuhun's defeated army had horses, so they arrived in half a day, so before dawn, the defeated army rushed to Cuixianzi's camp... Cuixianzi was in the world The famous general, naturally built the stronghold strong and firm, but he couldn't hold back too many defeated troops, and all of them were frightened by Xihai Tianlei. They just rushed forward, but dared not take half a step back.Therefore, the war broke out suddenly...

If that's all, that's all.The two Xihai armies took advantage of the chaos and sneaked to the north of Cuixianzi's camp, and suddenly sent flying thunder, which made our army even more chaotic.However, if this is the case, it will not cause Cui Xianzi to be defeated.But not long after, Xihai suddenly dispatched thousands of fire horses, rushing into the camp from the bombed wall of the northern camp.I don't know why, the fire horse bumped into it for a long time, and suddenly exploded...

For a while, there were constant explosions and flames in the camp.By dawn, the camp was completely in chaos... Cui Xianzi saw that he was powerless, so he could only retreat.But I don't want to, at some point, Xihai Qingqi circled to the east of Daying and blew up the pontoon bridge above Huangshui and Dahe.In this way, it is like there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to go to the earth, and it is even more chaotic.Therefore, when the enemy was chasing him, Ren Cui county son restrained him in every possible way, but it was useless. He didn't survive for an hour, and even the rear army was defeated.

Those who are a little more alert still know how to hide in the forest, climb on the trees, or stay in the muddy place by the river, only to wait for the enemy to chase them, and Natou will come down.The clumsy ones only knew how to run with their heads covered, not knowing how many times they were trampled to death.But he was lucky enough to survive and ran to the river. Seeing that the pontoon bridge was burned and he couldn't cross the river, he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.The rear army engulfed the former army, and the later army engulfed the former army. Countless people were forced to throw themselves into the river... If Li Xian hadn't seen the opportunity early, I would have demolished the pontoon bridge in Yuzhong early, I am afraid that the river would have been blocked to the point of collapse over the embankment..."

From Yuan Qin's mouth, it sounds ordinary, no matter whether it is Murong Xiao or Cui Yanbo, the defeat is a matter of course.

But the question is, this is an army of 30, and it was defeated overnight?
That's all for Tuyuhun, Li Chengzhi did the calculations intentionally or unintentionally, and I'm afraid there are many spies planted there.Attacking east and west, poisoning caused the soldiers to scream at the camp, and then burned the food and grass in the chaos, adding to the chaos.In the end, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he suddenly attacked at night. Such a big defeat is still reasonable.

But what about Cui Yanbo?
Let alone a 20 army, even 20 pigs can still hear some movement, right?
They were caught off guard and had to start a war with Tuyuhun's defeated army, but how could Xihai blow up the camp and even burn down the pontoon bridge?

"The old man remembers clearly: when he was ordered to enter Shanshan, a certain person told him in every possible way: the firearms in the West Sea are ever-changing, and they are useful and useful, so he should be careful. He was also ordered to stand by Huangshui when he set up the village. He then led the water from the river to the village. Building a river hundreds of feet away will stop the stone cannons and flying thunder from the West Sea... Could it be that he just ignored it?"

Listening to Xing Luan's questioning, Yuan Qin felt as if he was mourning his concubine: "Cui Xianzi is a good leader in the army and has always been calm. How could he ignore the orders of the governor? The river protecting the village is more than a hundred feet away, and it may be more than one mile away from the village. However, the thunder in the West Sea is Flying from two miles away, what can I do?"
