There is a large round table in the center of the meeting hall. In the middle of the round table is a large copper tripod. It is surrounded by cups and plates, and all kinds of meat, vegetables and seafood are available. *Literature Hall*
The hot soup in the bronze cauldron has boiled, white mist is rising, and a strong fragrance is emitted, filling the entire meeting hall. All the Qingzhou generals gathered together and sat in a circle around the round table.
Originally, this was supposed to be a grand New Year's banquet to be held under the auspices of Wang Yu.
But at this moment, no one paid attention to the hot pot soup, and everyone frowned tightly. Wei Yan, the most impatient one, even held chopsticks in his hand - as if holding a knife.
But the most exaggerated thing was Zhuge Liang. He simply left the table on his own and moved out a large sand table from behind the commander's desk. He held a few chess-like things and placed them back and forth on it. He kept mumbling as if he had been struck by a trick. As if evil.
Shan Jing sniffed and looked at the expressions of the Qingzhou generals, and felt somewhat regretful. If it hadn't been for the appearance of his uninvited guest, everyone in Qingzhou would have been enjoying their meal, right? His arrival had completely disrupted the situation.
This thought only existed in his mind for a moment, and was soon burned away by the anxiety like a fire. Looking at Wang Yu, Shan Jing unabashedly revealed the anxiety in his heart: "Rescuing troops is like putting out fire, when will we rescue troops?" We can go out, please give me your permission..."
"Humph!" Wei Yan and Taishi Ci all let out an angry groan, and even the relatively calm Xu Huang glared angrily.
The Youzhou army underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, almost dragging the entire battle into the abyss. Although the situation has been reversed to a certain extent thanks to the hard work of the Qingzhou generals, it is still far from overcoming the crisis.
To save Juyong City, we need to have enough troops, but now there are battles everywhere on all fronts. Where can we find enough troops? If we insist on saving, we can only divide the troops from the Taishan Army, and the maximum number will not exceed 15,000. The infantry, together with Wei Yan's subordinates, went north together with Wang Yu's cavalry.
Although the iron cavalry were sharp, and the Taishan Army was also an elite force, it was still too much to defeat a hundred thousand barbarian cavalry with these men and horses.
It's not impossible to redeploy troops again, but it's very dangerous.
Although Yan Rou was defeated and the vassal tribes and miscellaneous tribesmen were all frightened, Karasuma's 20,000 cavalry were not injured at all, and their leader Tadun was even more courageous than Qiu Liju's hero, and even was captured by him. Qiu Liju's son Lou Bandu expressed his sincerity in public after taking the position, which should not be underestimated.
Once too many troops are deployed to the north and Tadun sees the flaw, Piaoyujin and even Jixian may be in danger. Taishi Ci's surprise tactics are indispensable. To attack a large number with a small number is to take an eccentric approach, which is impossible. Then use it to deal with Tadun.
Almost at the same time, Wang Yu received the good news from Taishi Ci and the message from Zhao Yun before leaving the fortress. After convening the generals for discussion, he believed that rescuing Juyong should not be rushed at the moment, but had to wait until the situation became clear and all the troops got in touch and entered. It is more appropriate to start the battle after taking the combat position.
Although Juyong City was besieged, it was one of Liu Yu's three retreats. There was a lot of food and grass stored in the city. When Gongsun Zan was defeated and entered the city, he also moved most of the baggage inside. The food and grass could still last for a while. of.
On the other hand, what the Hu people are least good at is attacking cities. Therefore, Gongsun Zan is now in danger but actually safe.
Judging from the message he sent to Zhao Yun through Tian Yu, the subjective wish of the arrogant White Horse General was not to be rescued like a desperate drowning man, but rather to use his remaining heat to save Xianbei.
The army was firmly anchored in Juyong City, buying time for the Allies.
In a sense, he succeeded.
The Xianbei army refused to give up the opportunity to deal with their old enemy. Like wild wolves that smelled fishy smell, they surrounded Juyong City. Shan Jing and Zou Dan's desperate rescue strengthened their confidence. If Qingzhou
The army is also like Shan and Zou. If they desperately think about saving people, it will become a fueling tactic. It is extremely beneficial for the Xianbei people to surround the point and call for reinforcements.
Therefore, although the Xianbei people also divided their troops to attack Feihu Road, they did not divide their troops to attack Jixian.
This is of course related to the mentality of Xianbei and Wuhuan, who are in harmony with each other and want to let each other fight head-on with the Qingzhou Army, and then take advantage of them behind the scenes. However, the existence of Gongsun Zan, He Shan, and Zou failed to rescue the siege and immediately retreated to Xiguan.
Action also played a big role.
According to the strategy agreed upon at the military meeting, the time to counterattack and relieve the siege should be in the middle of the first month, when the Yulin army has repelled the Qianman tribe that attacked Feihu Road and pursued them along the way to Shanggu County.
At the same time, as long as we contact Zhao Yun who has left the fortress, we can have him attack Guangning and completely cut off the Xianbei army's return northward. Then several armies will swarm up and have a great battle. In one battle, one hundred thousand soldiers will be killed.
All the Hu Qi were buried, leaving the Xianbei people unable to recover for ten years.
This strategy has been notified to the Youzhou Army stationed in Xiguan, and Zou Dan's reply was also very appropriate, saying that he would work hard to stick to it and cooperate in the battle.
As a result, two days after the letter was sent, Shan Jing came to ask for help. Not only did he ask for help, but he also spoke in such an aggressive tone. How could the generals not be angry? The one who came in particular was Shan Jing.
In the entire Youzhou army, this guy was the most stubborn. Gongsun Zan rushed out without waiting for the Qingzhou troops to arrive. It may not be that this person's instigation played a role. If we are harsher, we can say that this guy is the main culprit for the corruption of the war.
It's not an injustice.
The generals in Qingzhou don't have any bad feelings towards anyone else in Youzhou, and there are more than one or two who have good friendships with Tian Kai. They only hate Shan Jing deeply. He must be aware of himself. I really don't know how he dares to run away with such a shameful face.
Come.
"The princes and princes will be confused and dishonest at the end. They often treat the princes and princes with a villain's heart and create a lot of trouble between the Qing and You families. This time, they have even put the lord in danger...
...I finally realize that my sins are serious and worthy of death, but my lord has always treated you as a younger brother and has no suspicion at all. I hope that you will save me because of our mutual understanding for many years.
!”
Shan Jing had no intention of retorting, and fell directly to the ground, kowtowing involuntarily. His head hit the ground with a loud bang, and he saw that his forehead was red, swollen and purple, and he was bleeding.
Wang Yu was horrified and shocked.
Kneeling is a custom brought to the Central Plains by the Mongolian Tatars, and later carried to the extreme by the Manchu Tatars. Before the Mongolian Tatars came to power, this was not popular in the Central Plains. Even if you see the emperor, you only need to bow deeply.
There are countless ministers who are qualified to sit and discuss politics in front of the emperor. In this era, kneeling usually occurred when descendants met their elders, or when sinners went to court.
Shan Jing is also a very proud person, and he was obviously very anxious when he suddenly performed such a grand gift.
Wang Yu was still thinking about whether the other party still wanted to fight against Qingzhou and maintain independence, and wanted to use the Xianbei people to weaken him. Now that he saw it, his doubts were all gone, and he hurriedly ordered: "General Shan,
What are you doing? Quick, help me up!"
Taishi Ci moved the fastest and ducked over. He picked up the single sutra with one hand. The latter was still struggling, but how could he resist Taishi Ci's strength?
After struggling for a few times, Shan Jing suddenly burst into tears: "It's not that I don't know what's going on. It's actually that Juyong City is in danger. If we don't save it, I'm afraid..." As he spoke, he didn't even catch his breath.
He just fainted.
The hall suddenly became chaotic again, and two military doctors were called over. However, they could not be saved. Wang Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite Hua Tuo to come over. The miracle doctor took action and rescued him, and then things got better. Hua Tuo said
The cause was that there were too many old and new injuries on the body, and the wind and cold entered the body. There was also a sharp fire attacking the heart, which led to an emergency. After treatment, his life was safe, but he couldn't wake up for a while.
As soon as Shan Jing entered the door, he called for help with a very stiff tone. Wang Yu thought that he was just showing up, but who would have thought that there was something else hidden behind it. In surprise, Wang Yu quickly ordered his bodyguard to find Shan Jing's entourage.
Ask for details.
The entourage burst into tears as soon as he came in and spoke intermittently. It took him a long time to explain clearly.
On that day, Shan Jing and Zou Dan joined forces and went north to rescue. Taking advantage of the Xianbei people's unsteady foothold and unfamiliar terrain, they once attacked the city wall and made contact with Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan rejected Shan Jing's proposal to abandon the defenders and escape alone.
He also ordered Zou and Shan to retreat to Xiguan to prevent Hu Qi from taking the opportunity to directly take the hinterland of Youzhou.
Xiguan, later known as Juyongguan, has always been the west gate of Beijing and is the most critical. Defending here is equivalent to blocking the eastward advance of the Xianbei army and reducing the pressure on the eastern front of the Qingzhou army.
Shan Jing didn't mention this before, otherwise Wang Yu, after defeating Fan Yang and pacifying the Yan Kingdom, could have sent his troops eastward and dealt with Ta Dun first, then Yan Rou.
Of course, this was just an afterthought. At the time, even if he had made suggestions, Wang Yu might not have believed the other party and was convinced that the other party could really stop the Xianbei army. But Gongsun Zan's intentions were good, and he was obviously trying to make up for his previous rash advances.
Mistakes.
After Taishi Ci attacked Yan Rou at night, Zhao Yun rushed to Danhan Mountain, and Ji Ling guarded Feihu Road, the battle situation gradually became clear. Although the Xianbei army was large, its retreat was attacked, and the room for maneuver was gradually lost. The original intention of the surprise attack was lost.
With the advantage, Wang Yu proposed the plan of encircling and annihilating them in one battle.
However, the Xianbei people had no intention of sitting still and waiting for death. When they fell short, they gave up on conserving their strength and launched a desperate attack on Juyong City.
Although the Xianbei people were not good at siege, the situation took a turn for the worse after Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin led their troops to appear in the Xianbei army. They created a large number of siege equipment and unexpectedly launched a fierce attack on Juyong City.
Using naval tactics, on the day the offensive was launched, it produced results equal to those of previous sieges combined.
Xiguan is very close to Juyong City. Shan Jing, Zou Dan was shocked when he heard the news. He sent a message to Wang Yu for help and sent troops to rescue him. As a result, not far from the city, he encountered Xianbei's rangers and started a fierce battle. In the end, he was defeated and retreated in defeat.
Arrived at Xiguan.
The second general knew that if Hu Qi was prepared, his own strength would not be of much use. Therefore, Shan Jing rushed to Jixian in person regardless of his injuries. He rushed all the way in a hurry, although he started a little late. It took an hour, but he was actually on the same page as the previous messenger!
"General, Juyong City is really in danger. If reinforcements don't arrive, I'm afraid... I won't be able to survive for five days!"
The Qingzhou generals looked at each other in shock, and were all overwhelmed by the sudden bad news.
