Chapter 67 Who gave you the confidence
Yanzhou, Linqiu City.
Zhang Chongzheng, the governor of Yanzhou, was reading military newspapers from various places, and his subordinate clerks were sorting out important military information and passing them to Zhang Chong for review.
Seven days ago, that is, on the 11th day of the first lunar month, Mao Dang, the general of the town army, gathered a total of 100,000 troops from Luoyang, Yecheng, and Taiyuan to form an alliance with the Jujube Alliance. Soon the coalition troops moved south and settled in Fengqiu.
At the same time, the vanguard army led by the right-wing general Huan Yi, Longxiang general Xie Yan and Liu Laozhi of the Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition Middle Route Army had already captured Xiangyi and soon moved north to Yongqiu.
After gathering a large army to attack Yongqiu City, the prefect Chenliu dismissed three waves of sentries and asked Mao Dang for help. After receiving Yongqiu's urgent request for help, Mao Dang immediately led 30,000 troops and set off for Yongqiu...
The battle between Chen and Liu was about to begin, and the Central Plains became even more lively. Ding Ling's leader Zhai Bin introduced Murong Chui's army into Xingyang. Murong Chui proclaimed himself King of Yan in Xingyang and was sending troops to attack the Qin city near Xingyang. The momentum was huge and the progress was rapid. The entire
Xingyang fell into the hands of Murong Chui.
Not only that, Murong Chui also sent several of his sons to attack Ji County, hoping to open up the route from Xingyang north to Yecheng as soon as possible. The officials and generals of the Qin State in Sizhou and Jizhou counties were in panic all day long. Some people were already watching from the wall, and even
Some local officials submitted surrender orders to Murong Chui before the Yan army came over. The entire Central Plains was disrupted by Murong Chui, and the whole Central Plains was in chaos!
It was just that the south and west were restless. The news that Zhu Xu sent troops to attack Linzi also reached Zhang Chong's desk. Now Zhang Chong could no longer sit still.
"Are the Jin army crazy? They are not satisfied after taking Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Now they are attacking Chenliu and coveting Linzi, even Qingzhou. My Yanzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides, how can I survive alone?
"General Zhang Chong threw the newspaper on the ground, with a worried and thoughtful look on his face.
The civil servants did not dare to speak out for fear of offending their own envoys. Zhang Chongqian stared and quickly sent someone to summon the staff of the Yanzhou Governor's Office and the cultural relics below to discuss the matter.
Xu Li, the governor of Yanzhou, said: "Mao Dang, the general of the town army, has an army of 100,000 in his hands. Huan Yi, Xie Yan and his like are definitely difficult to make an enemy of. I don't need to worry too much about Chen Liu. As for the
That old thief Murong Chui, what he should really worry about is Duke Changle
He and Pingyuan Gong are the ones, so why are you anxious? The one you should be wary of right now is Zhu Xu from the east. This man is mediocre in talent, but he is good at commanding his subordinates. He has a general like Xu Xiao who is good at attacking cities and territories. Once Linzi is not protected,
Linqiu is also in danger!"
"What Bie Jia said is very reasonable. Please send a large army to guard Taishan County as soon as possible to prevent Zhu Xu from invading." Yanzhou Chief Secretary agreed.
After listening to his subordinate's analysis, Zhang Chong, who was originally restless, even sat more comfortably. Zhang Chong's eyes lit up and he looked at General Gao Tai who said nothing.
Zhang Chong turned his attention to Gao Tai: "I wonder what General Gao has to say about this?"
"In my opinion, the most powerful person in the Jin army should be Xie Xuan, who fought fiercely with His Majesty at Feishui. Xu Xiao is just a mere Zhu Xu, right?"
Gao Tai's ideas were completely different from those of the civil servants. He advocated supporting Chen Liu, but sending troops to attack Suiyang, cutting off the connection between Xie Xuan, Huan Yi and Xie Yan, focusing on attacking Suiyang and capturing Xie Xuan. This would not be a solution.
Threats from the west of Yanzhou,
You can also go south to regain the lost Yuzhou, why not? As for Linzi, it is far away from Linqiu, Mount Tai, Dongping, and Jibei counties are separated by three counties. Is it possible that Zhu Xu and Xu Xiao can fly directly over these three counties?
Can’t attack Linqiu?
Gao Tai's indifferent tone seemed to have everything under his control. Even Zhang Chong was persuaded by him. Regardless of the opposition of the others, he insisted on leading his troops to attack Suiyang and helped Mao Dang first solve Xie Xuan in the west.
, then go back and deal with Zhu Xu and Xu Zongwen in Qingzhou.
"You must not do this!" Everyone knelt down on the ground, admonishing Zhang Chong not to listen to Gao Tai's boastful words, but to be careful to guard against Xu Zongwen in the direction of Qingzhou, otherwise the army would be out lightly and the Linqiu would be empty. If Xu Zongwen
Knowing the inside story of Yanzhou, we will definitely take the opportunity to attack.
Everyone spoke earnestly and even burst into tears. However, Zhang Chong trusted Gao Tai more than anyone else. He insisted on attacking Suiyang. Not only did he have to send troops, Zhang Chong also personally led the expedition.
Zhang Chong wanted to join the army to attack Suiyang. As soon as he said this, he was immediately opposed by all the civil servants in Yanzhou.
"Don't worry, Zhu Xu is just showing off. He doesn't dare to attack Yanzhou. Besides, wouldn't I, the governor, deploy 20,000 troops to defend Mount Tai? You are all timid, don't you want to defeat me?
Does the governor establish his merits?"
Zhang Chong believed that when he followed the general Deng Qiang to conquer the Dai Kingdom and established military exploits, he had a strong and keen judgment on war. How could it be the turn of these civil servants who were not familiar with the world and had never been in a battle to deal with it?
Where is he gesticulating?
It is estimated that in the entire Yanzhou, only young talents like Gao Tai, the future pillar of the Qin army, can have a heart-to-heart connection with him.
"It's over, Yanzhou has fallen, and the enemy is not far away! We'd better find another job, or go to Chang'an!"
"If you don't listen to our good advice, you will have to humiliate the country with your army. How can Xu Xiao be an easy person when he attacks the city and pulls out the strongholds one after another, just like destroying the whole country? A high-minded villain, young and energetic, misleads the commander, which will definitely lead to disaster!"
"
"The culprit is Gao Tai, the villain Gao Tai. When this person entered our Yanzhou, I knew that he would be the one who would cause chaos in our Yanzhou in the future! Now it seems that I was really right in my words!"
After Yanzhou Farewell Driver Xu Li, Yanzhou Zhizhong and Yanzhou Chief Registrar and others left the Governor's Mansion, they criticized Gao Tai verbally and writtenly in the carriage...
It is said that Jiang Guozheng, the governor of Changguang who escaped from Niushou Mountain, left Niushou Mountain and headed east with several hundred troops. He wanted to return to Changguang County through Juxian County. Unexpectedly, when he was about to cross Zishui, he met another couple.
Jin army, the banner of this Jin army is none other than Ningyuan General Zhu Chen.
It turned out that Zhu Chen went all the way north along the waterway, but he went too far because of the unfamiliar terrain. When he came to his senses, he was already fifty miles away from Linzi City. Zhu Chen immediately ordered the boat to go east and sail against the current back to Linzi.
Unexpectedly, he met Jiang Guo who was crossing the river just as he abandoned the ship and landed. Zhu Chen's eyes were so good that he recognized Jiang Guo, who was wearing general armor, and ordered his crossbowmen to move towards Jiang Guo's location.
Fire crossbows like crazy.
Jiang Guo was about to climb ashore immediately. As soon as he reached his hand to the shore, he was hit by a crossbow arrow in front of his chest. Before it was over, after one crossbow arrow, more than a dozen more crossbow arrows came and shot at Jiang Guo.
Before he could turn around, his chest and sides were full of crossbow arrows. Jiang Guo, who lost his strength, was quickly rushed eastward by the Zishui current...

"Come on!" Zhu Chen commanded his 5,000 men to rush forward and kill him. There were only a few hundred of Jiang's men in total, and they were still crossing the river. They were attacked by Zhu Chen's army just before they crossed the river. Most of them were attacked.
He was hit by an arrow and fell into the water and died in the Zi River. Zhu Chen hurriedly ordered people to salvage Jiang's body, and at the same time hunted down the surviving Qin troops who fled to the other side.
