Chapter 625: Countermeasures(1/2)
The commander of the Zhao army that besieged Xiayi was originally Huang Chun.
But after Prime Minister Xiao Bo arrived with his army, he was replaced by Xiao Bo.
In Huang Chun's unwillingness, Shangqiu and Songcheng, who were originally Huang Chun's direct descendants, immediately became the main force in the siege.
If it were anyone else, Huang Chun would have dared to jump up and resist such an arrangement, even if Qu Zhen was here in person, but in front of Xiao Bo, he did not dare to say anything.
Because Xiao Bo is from Liao.
He is a direct descendant of King Yeluzhen of Zhennan.
If you dare to confront him, you are seeking death.
Thinking of Cui Ang's tragic death, Huang Chun couldn't help but tremble all over.
That was the former Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, who later became the King of Zhao. He was cut into pieces piece by piece by Yelumin like that.
After Yelumin left, the frame of bones hanging on the shelf and threaded with threads still makes everyone cringe when they think about it.
Cui Ang is like this, so who do you think you are?
The current plan is to let Xiao Bo fill the hole with his own men.
It would be a good thing if such an attack regardless of the cost can really capture Xiayi. It would be best to capture a few senior generals of the Song Army, so that he can get his son Huang Hai back.
As for the soldiers under his command, if they die, they will die.
Anyway, when the manpower is insufficient, we will recruit more troops. Now it is hard to find four-legged oxen and horses. Is it not easy to find two-legged people? There are many people who cannot eat, just for this military salary or a few meals.
Come and join the army.
As long as he can keep the three thousand soldiers under his command, that will be enough.
These three thousand people are the capital for one's own livelihood.
If Xiao Bo really wanted to use his three thousand soldiers to fill the hole, it would definitely not work.
Fortunately, the other party also knows his bottom line, and at least so far, he has not forced it on him.
Thinking of the Jie Bao who was currently flattering Xiao Bo, Huang Chun became angry.
My son really failed to live up to expectations and lost Xiayi.
But what is Jiebao?
This piece of shit was lost in Nanyang.
He led tens of thousands of troops to guard Nanyang, but was defeated by the Song army.
Nanyang is Zhao's most critical line of defense against the Song army. Once Nanyang is lost, Kaifeng will be in danger.
But Xiao Bo said that his son was not worth a penny, but said nothing about this solution.
Now, it was Jie Bao who led the defeated soldiers who escaped from Nanyang and became Xiao Bo's favorite.
This made Huang Chun very angry.
The soldier walked into the tent with a dinner plate, two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a pot of wine. The meat dishes included his favorite chicken tongue, which made Huang Chun feel better.
Going out in the army is naturally incomparable to being at home.
The soldier who put down the dinner plate did not leave, but lowered his voice and said: "General, Da Lang is back."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Huang Chun, who had not yet swallowed a sip of wine, spit it out on the spot, raised his head and stared at the soldiers.
"The younger one has secretly hidden Dalang in the camp." The soldier whispered, "Bring him over again in the evening."
Huang Chun's hands were shaking a little, so he reluctantly poured himself another glass, tilted his neck and drank it.
This private soldier handled the matter properly and knew that there was an informant from the Liao people in the Chinese army's tent.
"Who came back with him?"
Huang Hai was captured, but now he is back in good health. There is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. If there were, Huang Chun would rather believe that it was a pie mixed with poison.
Therefore, someone must have accompanied Huang Hai back, and he must have wanted something.
The soldier nodded, and Huang Chun suddenly understood.
In the dead of night, the drums sounded three times.
Huang Chun finally saw his son Huang Hai, who had been captured for more than a month.
Not thin, but a little fatter.
It seems that they were not mistreated by the Song people.
After just one glance, he turned his attention to the Song Dynasty man who came in with Huang Hai.
After cupping his hands, Huang Chun said: "A certain family is very grateful to General Wei Wu for treating his dog well. If General Wei Wu falls into my hands in the future, I will definitely reciprocate the favor. Needless to say, a certain family has prepared good wine and good food.
, if your envoy has had enough to eat and drink, a certain family will send you back from the camp."
The visitor raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling, picked up the kuaizi, ate meat and drank wine, not worrying at all about what Huang Chun might do in the food and wine.
"Xiayi has been under siege for a long time. To be honest, there really isn't anything good to eat in the city. It's wonderful, wonderful to be able to enjoy a delicious meal!" The envoy's mouth was full of dishes, and he was a little confused when he spoke.
"In this case, why don't your envoy persuade General Wei Wu to abandon the dark side and join the bright side?" Huang Chun asked with a smile.
After drinking up the wine in the glass in front of him, the envoy turned the glass over and placed it on the table. He looked at Huang Chun and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the general doesn't know that two days ago, Qi State Prime Minister Yelu Dashu led three thousand cavalry.
They were completely wiped out by our army in Banqiao Town, Xiao County. Three thousand people were wiped out and no one survived."
"Impossible!" Huang Chun's whole body's hair stood on end.
The messenger was a little proud: "General, you will get the news in the next two days at the latest. The heads of these three thousand people have all been identified, and they are built as Jingguan. The heads of the Yelv tree are just outside Xuzhou City.
, piled on top, this can’t be hidden from anyone.”
Huang Chun stared at the other person, trying to see signs of lying in the other person's eyes, but unfortunately, the other person looked at him calmly.
Yes, such a thing cannot be hidden from anyone. In a day or two at most, the news will inevitably spread to the world.
"Liu Yu is about to retreat!" The envoy said with a smile: "After being hit hard, his morale dropped sharply, and reinforcements from the Song Dynasty on the Jiangnan Road were arriving one after another, Liu Yu could only retreat."
Huang Chun took a deep breath. Although the messenger didn't finish what he said, he understood what the other party wanted to express.
Liu Yu's retreat freed up the Song army.
Compared with the powerful Liu Yu, Zhao Guo now looks very weak.
Cui Ang was destroyed, the Zhao army was weakened a bit, Nanyang was lost, and a few more points were lost. Next, of course, the Song army had to pick up the weak and beat the drowned dog.
In the direction of Nanyang and Xiayi, the Song army will inevitably send more troops to attack from two directions.
If Kaifeng can really be captured, it will be of endless benefit to Jiangning and the New Song Dynasty, both militarily and politically.
"Da Liao will not sit idly by and do nothing to help!" Huang Chun murmured.
The messenger nodded: "Of course this possibility exists. But what will the general do with himself then? Still letting that Xiao Bo bark around like a dog?"
Huang Chun's face turned red and he glared at the other party.
The other party showed no signs of weakness.
Huang Chun sighed heavily.
Isn’t it just like a dog?
He misses the old days very much.
He is the commander of the guards and the army, only one step away from the Taiwei, and is one of the highest-ranking generals in the Song Dynasty.
But now, what is it?
A Liao man whom I had never heard of before was able to poop and urinate on his head.
Forget it if it’s someone like Ye Luzhen, Xiao Bo is nothing!
"A certain family is among the top ten on Xiao Chongwen's list of traitors!" Huang Chun looked at the other party and said.
The messenger laughed silently.
"The people on the list of traitors are drawn up by the chief assistant of my family. Of course, some people can be removed from it. Isn't this a matter of one sentence? As long as this person has made achievements that can be seen by everyone in the world! General, like this
There are not many opportunities. If you miss one, you will lose one. And every time you miss one, you will have one less chance to escape."
Gritting his teeth, Huang Chun said: "If I make a great contribution, besides being removed from the traitor list, what else can I get?"
The envoy's face became serious and he said: "To be honest, General, you can still find a quiet place to study, farm or do business in peace. For someone like the Major General, there is no hope of becoming an official. But when it comes to my grandson,
People like you will not be affected."
Huang Chun lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then said: "If you had just said that I would give you whatever I wanted, even if you were a high-ranking official and had a good salary, I would have already asked someone to pull you down and chop you down."
The messenger laughed.
There was another day of fierce fighting in the Chinese army's tent between Zhao Guoguo and Xiao Bo. Xiao Bo, who had just fallen asleep, was hurriedly awakened by his confidants.
Xiayi had been besieged for more than half a month. At first, Xiao Bo thought Huang Chun was a waste, so as soon as he arrived at the front line, he seized Huang Chun's command. However, when he was replaced, there was still no improvement.
The defense of Xiayi was really impregnable. Xiao Bo, who couldn't lose his face, launched a furious attack regardless of the cost, even if it cost lives, he would take Xiayi.
