Da Wei Chun

Chapter 664
It's only about three hundred miles away, and the fast horse will arrive in a day.Furthermore, before the division of troops, Li Liang had originally agreed with Huangfu Rang: within half a month, all the cities, counties and counties north of Salt Lake and Huangshui, and east of Dahe had to be conquered.

Therefore, whether to go to Naowei County sooner or later does not make any difference whether it is early or late.

It was already noon when he got the report, Li Liang set off immediately, and arrived at Naowei County at midnight.

The scouts had come to report beforehand, and Daxi had already been informed, and had been guarding on the tower.After checking the letter from the city, it was confirmed that Li Liang had arrived in person, he hurriedly descended the city wall and greeted him in the city cave.

Then he asked his cronies to inform Sima Zhang Jingzhi.While Li Liang stepped into the city gate, Zhang Jingzhi also arrived.

Seeing Zhang Jingzhi, Li Liang suddenly realized: it turned out that Da Xi was not leading the army alone.

With Zhang Jingzhi's help, Da Xi became suspicious, but he couldn't figure it out.Moreover, these two people have worked together for more than ten years, and they are already familiar with each other, which can be regarded as complementing each other.

But in this way, it is of great significance to the surrendered generals and soldiers who have recently attached to Xihai: Xi Kangsheng is still in Beizhen to organize the army, and he will never die with Li Chengzhi.And Li Chengzhi still dared to reuse Daxi, which shows his broad-mindedness?
At least it can stabilize the morale of the army...

After a few words of greeting, Daxi asked suspiciously, "Why is Mr. Li here?"

This sentence made Li Liang's question a little confused.

Shouldn't he be the one to ask?
Knowing something was wrong, Li Liang cupped his hands and said politely: "Now there is no enemy army on the west bank of the river, we should recover the city and wipe out the captured soldiers!"

Invincible army on the west bank of the river?

Daxi was shocked: "Where did you go?"

Li Liang was even more surprised: "Does General Daxi not know that the enemy army is completely defeated?"

The enemy army is completely defeated... What are you talking about?
That's an army of 40...

Seeing that his eyeballs were about to protrude, Li Liang knew that the command was not smooth, and Daxi still didn't know that Cui Yanbo and Murongxiao had already been defeated.

He pondered for a while, and then eloquently said: "On the night of April [-]th, the Tuyuhun army was defeated outside the South Gate Pass and broke up. General Huangfu made a decisive decision and ordered me to divide the army with him, and then killed him:

All the way in the south, from Heguan County (now Guide County, Xining, Qinghai, which belonged to Shanshan Town in Yuan and Wei Dynasties), and eastward along the north bank of the Dahe (Yellow River).All the way in the north, starting from Beiqiang County (now Menyuan County, Qinghai, which belonged to Wuwei County at that time), and encircled along the south bank of Huangshui River.

The two roads rushed forward at the same time, advancing towards Shanshan Town.Because Tuyuhun's defeated army panicked and had no choice but to flee between the two rivers to Shanshan Town.Because it was late at night, the order was not smooth, and it was difficult to distinguish the enemy from ourselves, so Cui Yanbo was caught off guard, and the army formation and camp were broken through by the rout.We followed closely behind and bombarded the middle formation and Dazhai with suppressing barbarians.Before dawn, the town of Shanshan was broken, and Cui Yanbo's front army was defeated. He had no choice but to let the central and rear troops retreat.

We waited to cover up and attack, and pursued for three hundred miles a day and a night. At noon on the [-]th, we defeated Cui Yanbo on the west bank of the Dahe River in Xiqiang County. At this point, Shanshan was settled.Afterwards, General Huangfu thought that we should strike while the iron is hot and pursue the victory, so he ordered our troops to split up again, with the big river as the boundary, and all the cities to the north and east had to be conquered.Every defeated army needs to be annihilated..."

After a short pause, Li Liang asked again: "In the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year, General Huangfu rushed to report this news to Lord Lang. Why didn't Xi Zhonglang know?"

"Ha ha……"

Apart from giggling, Daxi couldn't react any more.

It was like being licked by a dog in my mind, as if I couldn't think anymore.

On April 20th, Li Chengzhi received a report from Huangfu, saying that Tuyuhun had conquered more than [-] elite riders, claiming [-], and they joined forces at Salt Lake on April [-]th.It was less than a hundred miles away from Huangfu who gave Tibetan soldiers to the racecourse.

The next day, its troops were divided into six divisions, four of which followed Zuoguli King Murongxiao to station at Nanmen Pass, and only about [-] elite cavalry in the south of Tianzhu temporarily stationed in the north of Yanzhi.Huangfu Rang said in the letter: He has made arrangements, and at midnight on the [-]st, he will cooperate with Xizuo lurking in the south of Tianzhu to attack the Salt Lake at night.

On April [-]rd, Li Chengzhi received a good report from Huangfu Rang, saying that he had been stationed in the south of the horse farm and the south of Tianzhu, north of the Salt Lake.

Due to adequate preparations, the road to the east was blocked before the enemy army collapsed. Therefore, the news did not leak out. Huangfu Rang thought that the old trick could be repeated, and he could cooperate with Li Hanli, who was the former commander of Murong Xiao's army camp, to attack again. South gate.

This is an established strategy. Huangfu Rang and Li Chengzhi have already discussed and deduced it countless times.At the beginning of Yu's dispatch of troops, Li Chengzhi said frankly: The current situation is changing rapidly. If you ask for everything, you will miss the opportunity. Huangfu has long been granted the right to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises.Therefore, Huangfu Rang is just a normal report.

Therefore, when dispatching envoy Bing and Li Chengzhi, Huangfu Rang had already agreed with Li Han that on April [-]th, he would send troops from Salt Lake to attack Nanmen Pass at night through the hinterland of Tuyuhun.

At that time, Li Han only needs to let Tuyuhun Xiao camp and burn the grain and grass.

At that time, Li Chengzhi was afraid of Tuyuhun's counterattack, and even more afraid that Yuanyao, who had already served in the Hequ Division, would send troops to attack the racecourse, so he ordered Daxi and Zhang Jingzhi to send troops overnight to Wuwei to help Huangfu Rang and Li Liang.

The two led eighty percent of the new army, that is, the Six Towns and Dunhuang Town Army compiled from Luo Jian and Yuan Zhi.It can only last half a year because of the attachment. If you want to say how stable the army's morale is and how high its morale is, it is self-deception.

To be on the safe side, it is natural to treat them well, and it is natural to be wary, and the military law is not too harsh.

In addition, in case Tuyuhun suddenly crossed Qilian Mountain and attacked halfway, so the march was not fast, although there were many horses and chariots, it was only about [-] miles a day, and it took seven days to reach Wuwei.

On the same day, he was temporarily stationed outside the city. At the same time, Daxi immediately sent an envoy to the racecourse to summon Huangfu's military order.

But within half a day, messengers sent orders back and forth, saying that Huangfu Rang and Li Liang were not at the racecourse, only the guard commander Huangfuzhong led [-] troops to station at the Mojin River south of the racecourse.

He also asked Huangfu Rang and Li Liang where they were going, Huangfu Zhong actually said that each of them led the three guards, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, one went to fight Murong Xiao, and the other went to fight Cui Yanbo.

Da Xi was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse when he heard the news.

How many soldiers does Cui Yanbo have?
When he was stationed in Shanshan Town, Cui Yanbo said he had millions of soldiers.Li Chengzhi naturally didn't believe it, but claimed that even if there was a discount, plus Minzhuang, there should be 30.

And add Murong Xiao's more than 40 troops, this is nearly [-] troops.

And how many soldiers does Huangfu Rang have?
There are only six guards when the soldiers are full, that is, in the early 4s.In addition to the people who transported grain and guns, there will be more than [-] herdsmen and herdsmen in Shandan Horse Farm.

The enemy soldiers were ten times stronger than themselves, who gave Huangfu Rang and Li Liang the courage to hit the stone with a pebble?

Not to mention that about 20 miles to the north of Wuwei County, it is the place where Yuanyao, the general who conquered the North, stationed troops, and there are even [-] troops stationed here.

Da Xi had no choice but to give Li Chengzhi an urgent report first, and then negotiate with Zhang Jingzhi on how to rush to help.

Even if you are very anxious, you can't mess up your position.Daxi could only divide his troops into two groups: Zhang Xinzhi, the deputy commander of the one, led [-] troops to garrison Wuwei to prevent Yuan Yao from advancing south.

The other route was divided into two parts. He and Zhang Jingzhi led [-] troops each, going east along the side wall, and crossing the side wall on the other side to patrol Shanshan.

It was necessary to divide the troops, food, and artillery, so it was delayed for a day.And with a strong enemy at your side, you must be extremely careful, so naturally you dare not march too fast.In this way, although they are all cavalry, they only carry small cannons, and they can travel more than a hundred miles in a day.

On the third day, Daxi ran into Tangqi under Li Liang's command in Changsong County (now Gulang County, Wuwei). Only then did he realize that Huangfu Rang and Li Liang were going south and north, fighting as they walked, and they were almost reaching the west bank of the Yellow River.

When asked again, due to the limitation of military orders, Tang Qi didn't dare to say more. He only said that Xi Zhonglang could march with peace of mind, and he would surely go unimpeded along the way.

Just this one sentence made Da Xi extremely astonished.It is suspected that Huangfu Rang and Li Liang have already defeated Cui Yanbo in all likelihood.

Otherwise, Tang Qi would never dare to say "everywhere to the west of the big river, you will travel unimpeded".

But then I thought about it again: defeating 40 with [-] is like a fantasy, it is really unbelievable.

Suspicious and uncertain, Daxi and Zhang Jingzhi did not dare to believe Tangqi's words. Although they no longer went south, but went east along the ancient silk road, they still marched steadily, step by step.

It was indeed as Tang Qi said, the road was unimpeded, but he still walked for three days before arriving at Naowei County on the west bank of the Dahe River, which is nearly [-] li away from Wuwei.

Although Changsong is a county, its people are no more than a thousand households, and the county soldiers are no more than a few hundred.The city wall has been in disrepair for many years, so when the army marched to the city, the magistrate of Changsong surrendered the city.

When asked about the military situation, of course they don't know anything.

And when they saw Li Liang again at this time, they realized that what Tang Qi said was true.

Daxi was so shocked, as if he was frozen, not to mention responding to Li Liang, he didn't even listen carefully to what Li Liang asked.Thoughts like "Cui Yanbo lost...Murong Xiao lost..." were all over his head.

And even Zhang Jingzhi, who had always been as calm as a mountain, flushed flushed and his eyes sparkled in shock.

Fortunately, there is still a sliver of reason left. Guessing that Huangfu let the concatenation win, Li Chengzhi was already dizzy, and was even more afraid that the overstepping of the generation would disrupt Huangfu's rhythm, so he simply followed the order and let Huangfu let him go. play.

Of course, Li Chengzhi must have sent a message to Huangfurang, informing Daxi that he had led [-] new troops to the north to help him, so it was inevitable that Huangfurang should restrain Daxi.But nine times out of ten, it's because Huangfu Rang ran too fast, going east and west, and the messenger probably hadn't caught up, so that's why he and Daxi didn't know the current military situation, and Huangfu Rang and Li Liang didn't know Li Chengzhi Sending a large army to assist the two of them was a mistake.

But it's more than a coincidence?

Zhang Jingzhi really couldn't imagine that with 40 enemies and [-], he was not afraid to win, but he still won a big victory, and the victory was so fast that it was less than two days before and after?

How did Huangfu Rang and Li Liang do it?

Zhang Jingzhi was unbearably surprised, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and trembling, and his tongue seemed to be knotted: "Master Li: I really...defeated Murong Xiao...and...and Cui Yanbo?"

"Military law is like a mountain, how dare Liang report the military situation in a hurry? Naturally, he won?"

Hearing the word "victory", Da Xi suddenly became excited, as if waking up from a dream: "How did you win?"

This question was too abrupt and rude.But Li Liang knew that Daxi was honest and honest, but he was too surprised to speak out, so he didn't care.

"Tuo Langjun's great blessing is all due to luck!"

Ren Liliang was neither arrogant nor impatient, but he couldn't help baring his white teeth, "It's also because of General Huangfu's ability to predict the enemy before him, to make a decisive decision, and not to let the good opportunity go by. ..."

It was luck indeed.

Because even Huangfu Rang and Li Liang didn't expect that Tuyuhun was so vulnerable, like paper in front of the artillery.As soon as the cannon fired, whether it was the southern part of Tianzhu or Murong Xiao's [-] elite cavalry, all of them became a mess in an instant.

He also didn't expect that Murong Xiao was not a general greedy for life and afraid of death. Although the army was chaotic but not defeated, he escaped first.

As soon as the coach escapes, the group of dragons under his command has no leader. Naturally, the chaos will add to the chaos, and the defeat is only inevitable.

What was unexpected was that Murong Xiao didn't go south or north, but fled east?
Nanmen Pass is about a hundred miles away from Shanshan Town, and for the convenience of marching and transporting food, Cui Yanbo made the road very smooth, just like a flat river.

Therefore, Murong Xiao is like a guiding light, and the routs behind are like southern goats, they only know how to run after the leader, even if there is a cliff in front of them, they can still jump.

By mistake, Cui Yanbo's camp was destroyed?
Then follow the same pattern, after a few rounds of artillery, Cui Yanbo's former army did not last long, and the army collapsed like a mountain...

Li Liang felt that even using words like "God has eyes, it's a great luck" is not enough to describe the smoothness of this battle.

Just like picking it up for nothing!
With just this one battle, the names of Huangfu Rang and Li Liang will surely be heard all over the world...

He was overjoyed in his heart, and after hearing Zhang Jingzhi's praise, Li Liang calmed down.

"It's true that the sky is full of blessings, and God blesses me in Xihai... Only this one battle will lay the foundation for my future in Xihai... General Huangfu and Master Li's achievements can be learned from the sun and the moon..."

Zhang Jingzhi blushed as if he was drunk, before he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Liang.

In any case, he is also Li Chengzhi's uncle, and now he is even more right-hand man, so how can Li Liang dare to trust him.But Zhang Jingzhi moved too fast, not to mention stopping, Li Liang couldn't even avoid it.

Da Xi has long lost the ability to think, so he will do whatever Zhang Jingzhi does.

This time, Li Liang reacted.However, Daxi Kongwu is powerful, and in terms of strength, he is slightly weaker than the two brothers Li Chengzhi, Li Zhang and Li Xian.Li Liang couldn't bear it at all.

He had no choice but to say: "You two speak seriously, this battle depends on General Huangfu's strategizing, Liang deserves it..."

"Master Li, why should you be humble?"

Zhang Jingzhi stood up Shi Shiran, and calmed down a little: "However, the military situation is urgent now, and we don't need to be polite. Military affairs are the most important... May I ask Mr. Li, Murong Xiao and Cui Yanbo have already been defeated. Where are we going, and how many troops are left?"

"Both these two men and Yuan Cheng were defeated and fled to Yuzhong. The soldiers under their command were in a panic during the chaotic battle, and nearly half of them were thrown into the big river and Huangshui... General Huangfu and I covered up the killing, and then Li Shi led the way. The rear army gathered along the road, and captured [-] to [-] routs... Roughly speaking, Cui Yanbo's troops were at most [-] troops, and they were all routs, with little morale and morale to speak of..."
