Huang Junhan was about forty years old. He came from a family of officials in Dongjun. In the seventh year of his reign, a small official from Dongjun named Zhai Rang broke the law and was sentenced to death. However, he admired Zhai Rang's courage and freed him to escape. From then on, he escaped.
With Wagangzhai. (All, all in May 1st. I want it.
Huang Junhan also escaped overnight because he let Zhai Rang go. He wandered up and down the rivers and lakes for several years. Although Zhai Rang, whom he had freed, had become a world-famous overlord, he was unwilling to accept his kindness. Later, Huang Junhan
When he arrived in Taiyuan, when Li Yuan was recruiting troops for the first time, he joined Li Yuan's army and was appreciated by Li Xiaogong. He gradually gained promotion and became the general he is today. Out of old friendship, he accepted her as his wife.
Considering that the war in Hongnong County was about to break out, his concubine ordered his general Su Wan to be snatched away by King Li Yuanji of Qi in Tongguan. What is her origin? What is important is that now she is his woman, King of Qi.
Taking her away knowing this was another blatant insult to him.
Huang Junhan was in pain, drinking one glass after another to drown his sorrows. At this time, a large group of officers rushed in, everyone with angry faces. Huang Junhan stopped his glass and shouted: "What are you going to do?"
A partial general stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "General, there are many rumors in the military camp now, which have affected the morale of the army. We want to come and verify them."
"What rumors?" Huang Junhan was stunned. He knew nothing about the rumors swirling in the military camp.
The generals looked at each other and didn't know what to say. They could see the general was drinking and suffering. It was estimated that the rumors were probably true. An older general sighed in his heart. He stepped forward and explained: "General, about your wife.
The fact that he was snatched away by the King of Qi has now spread throughout the military camp."
"fart!"
Huang Junhan was furious and slammed the table. He cursed angrily: "Who the hell is spreading rumors?"
The generals were all stunned, could this not be the case? The general said cautiously: "There is another theory that the general's concubine was snatched away by the King of Qi."
Huang Junhan sat down slumped. After a while, he said in a low voice: "My wife is almost forty years old. Why did King Qi rob her?"
Denying his wife was undoubtedly admitting his concubine, and the generals became angry. The officer who asked the question first said angrily: "General, are you ready to just endure it? Or let the rumors spread like this in the military camp, and everyone should stop."
There’s a war!”
A man has two fears, one is that his woman will be taken away, and the other is that people around him will know that his woman has been taken away. This is more uncomfortable than killing him. Huang Junhan's face turned white and red, and finally became
Like pig liver. He suddenly roared like a beast. He stood up and kicked the table over. He strode outside the tent, unhooked the war horse from the stake, got on his horse and rushed out of the camp gate.
It is not allowed to drink alcohol at all times, horse racing is not allowed in the military camp, and the general is not allowed to leave the military camp without permission. Huang Junhan violated these three military regulations, and the generals all sighed, which shows that this incident had a serious impact on him.
Huang Junhan's army was stationed in Hangu Pass, and Li Xiaogong's army was stationed in Shaanxi County. The two places were not too far apart. It was already one o'clock in the morning, and the military camp was very quiet. The soldiers had already fallen asleep, and there were only one patrol group.
Soldiers patrolled back and forth around the military camp, and more than a thousand soldiers were deployed near the docks on the Yellow River to keep vigil throughout the night.
Li Xiaogong did not fall asleep. He was still reading in the big tent. It was not until the third watch that there was nothing unusual on the river, so that he could sleep peacefully.
Li Xiaogong also received an ultimatum from the court yesterday. The emperor had appointed King Qi as the commander-in-chief of Tongguan, leading an army of 30,000 to support Hongnong County. This appointment made Li Xiaogong sigh deeply. Even if the emperor refused to give all the troops to him,
But don't send Li Yuanji here. Li Xiaogong is very clear about how Li Yuanji lost Taiyuan. He has known Yuanji since he was a child. He is an arrogant, selfish and unsentimental person. Let Yuanji support Hongnong.
County, is he willing to obey his command?
Li Xiaogong was worried, but he had nothing to do about the appointment of the Holy Emperor. He had an anxiety about the situation of the war that was difficult to grasp. Although he was reading, he could not read a word. He had been reading for half an hour, and he had not turned a page of the book.
.
At this time, a soldier reported at the door of the tent: "Your Highness, General Huang wants to see you urgently!"
Li Xiaogong was startled. It was so late. What was Huang Junhan doing here? He didn't summon him, so how could he leave the military camp without permission?
Li Xiaogong was confused and ordered: "Let him come in!"
Soon, Huang Junhan walked into the tent quickly, fell to his knees and cried loudly. Li Xiaogong was stunned and hurriedly supported him, "General Huang, what happened?"
Huang Junhan wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth and told the story of Li Yuanji robbing his concubine. Finally, he said with great sadness and anger: "My soldiers told them that this was my woman, but in exchange, two soldiers were killed on the spot.
Killed, two soldiers were killed and injured, Your Highness, he wants that woman, I will just give it to him, why do you still have to humiliate me like this?"
Li Xiaogong was so shocked that his hands and feet were cold. Li Yuanji was so bold that he dared to steal the woman of his lieutenant. Is it the proper attitude of a superior to kill his own soldiers? He was also in a state of confusion. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
He didn't know what to do for a while.
The reason why Huang Junhan came to Li Xiaogong was to ask him to stand up for him and seek justice. He didn't have to let the woman go, but he had to give an explanation.
"Your Highness, the general is a lowly official and has no qualifications to speak to the King of Qi. I can only come to plead with Your Highness to come forward on behalf of the general and seek justice."
Li Xiaogong had slowly calmed down, and he suddenly realized that this was actually an opportunity to use this opportunity to replace Li Yuanji. He patted Huang Junhan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. I will
Let him get the punishment he deserves."
Huang Junhan was silent for a moment and then asked: "Did His Highness go directly to him to ask for someone?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head, "I can't leave the current war situation, and even if I go to him directly, he will never admit it. I want to impeach him directly to the Holy Lord." Return it to yourself, apologize again, and you will have face, and things will be settled.
It was solved, but Li Xiaogong unexpectedly wanted to bring the matter to Li Yuan. Then wouldn't Li Yuanji hate himself to death in the future? His career would be over. How unwise would it be to become an enemy of a prince?
Huang Junhan bit his lip and murmured: "Your Highness, can you communicate with Prince Qi first?"
Li Xiaogong sighed and said: "You don't understand King Qi. Not only will he ignore our representations, but he will also humiliate you even more. This is the kind of person he is. He is only afraid of the Holy One, and only the Holy One can seek justice for you."
, of course, if you want to give up, I can't help you."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaogong looked at Huang Junhan with bright eyes, as if asking him, 'Do you want to seek justice?'
Huang Junhan seemed to see his beloved woman crying softly under Li Yuanji's crotch. His heart was filled with emotion and he said resolutely: "Your Highness, please make the decision for me!"
"Okay! I will impeach him overnight."
Li Xiaogong's impeachment memorial was sent to Chang'an in an expedited manner of 800 miles. The battle situation was still very calm. Neither Wang Shichong nor Yang Yuanqing took any action. What did they seem to be waiting for?
In Xiaoshan, in front of Wang Shichong's camp, several Sui army scouts rushed over, and a patrol sentry in the distance shouted: "Stop!"
Although the Northern Sui Dynasty and the Southern Sui Dynasty are both Sui armies, and their armors are roughly the same, there are still differences. The difference is mainly in the helmet. The helmet of the Northern Sui Dynasty army is a red eagle helmet. The ordinary eagle-edge helmet has a red copper helmet.
The goshawk, shining in the sun, could see exceptionally clearly, but the Southern Sui Army did not.
Therefore, the patrol officer immediately recognized that the person was a scout from the Northern Sui Army. Dozens of crossbow arrows were aimed at them. The leading scout, the captain, shouted loudly: "On the order of General Manager Yang of Bingzhou, I am here to deliver a message to Wang Shangshu!"
Someone recognized the captain, who had already been here once. They informed the general on duty, the camp gate opened, and several Wang Shichong's soldiers came out. After asking a few questions, they brought several Northern Sui scouts into the camp.
Wang Shichong was considering the tactics to seize Hongnong County in front of the sand table. He was already sure that Yang Yuanqing would cross the river to join the battle. This was the most taboo event for him, but now he accepted it. After several communications, he already believed Yang Yuanqing's promise.
Drive Li Yuan's forces back to Guanzhong without occupying Hongnong County.
Li Yuan's occupation of Hongnong County will directly threaten Hedong County and Luoyang. Especially after the winter freezes, Li Yuan's army poses a particularly great threat to Hedong. This is why Yang Yuanqing actively participated in solving the crisis in Hongnong County, and it is also the reason for their cooperation.
Basically, we have a common enemy.
The key now is who takes the lead. Originally, both sides were equal, fighting separately and cooperating with each other. But gradually, Wang Shichong found that he had been led by Yang Yuanqing. This battle became dominated by Yang Yuanqing, and he cooperated. Wang Shichong felt that
There is nothing he can do about it, he can only sigh deeply, who asked him to ask for help now?
Now, rather than saying that Wang Shichong was considering tactics to seize Hongnong County, it is better to say that he was waiting for Yang Yuanqing's instructions on how to fight and when to attack. He no longer had any autonomy.
At this time, the soldiers reported at the door: "Reporting to the minister, His Highness the King of Chu's messenger has arrived!"
"Invite him in!"
Soon, the scout captain of the Northern Sui Army walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee and performed a standard military salute, "The scout captain of the Northern Sui Army, Jiang Tongwei, came here to deliver a letter to the minister on the order of the general manager!"
The captain took out a letter and presented it to Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong took the letter and opened it. The content of the letter was very simple. Yang Yuanqing told him that the time to launch an attack was within these few days, and asked him to be prepared for war and be ready to launch an offensive at any time.
.
Wang Shichong was slightly disappointed. He thought there was an exact time, but it turned out there was still no time. He sighed in his heart and asked the captain: "Where is your manager now?"
"Report to Wang Shangshu that my manager is currently at Fenglingdu."
