The sudden fall of Hutou City enabled the Beimang army to spread out a very comfortable offensive posture at the southern end of the Longyaner Plain, resulting in an emergency situation on the two fronts of Huaiyang Pass and Liuya Poria Cocos.
The two towns of Liuya and Poria invisibly took over as the second Hutou City, but because of the first leader of the border army in Beiliang, Chu Lushan insisted on guarding Huaiyang Pass in person, Gu Dazu's suspicious behavior of seeing death and not saving him pushed this veteran of the old Southern Tang Dynasty to the cusp, not only the cavalry generals, but also the border army infantry system, and also complained a lot about Gu Dazu, especially after Chen Yunchui, who was also the deputy commander of the infantry army, temporarily led troops from Youzhou to aid Liangzhou, the two generals of the Northern Liang Infantry Army with a considerable amount of official hats, also produced a lot of differences, plus the golden partridge Zhou Kang himself is a typical offensive commander in the Northern Liang Army, Gu Dazu betrayed his relatives in the town of Chongzuka for a while, and in the cavalry army, both prestige and seniority are higher than Zhou Kang's veteran He Zhonghu, at this time he fell ill even worse, outside the Liangzhou Pass, it can be described as internal and external troubles, and the entire Beiliang situation has become precarious.
In the meeting hall of the General's Mansion temporarily set up in the town of Chongzuka Military Town, there was another dispute that almost completely tore the skin, and those relatively low official positions of the lieutenants were a little numb, at this time the defense line of Huaiyang Pass behind Chongzuka and Hutou City had completely lost contact, before that, there were no less than 100 elite crossbowmen killed on the way to transmit military information, in fact, the two towns of Huaiyang Pass and Liuya Poria were already considered to be lonely outside the pass, drowning in the iron cavalry torrent of the Beimang army.
In the lobby, there were originally more than a dozen chairs, Gu Dazu, Zhou Kang, Chen Yunchui who came from afar, Qi Dangguo, the chief general of the six thousand Tiefutu Iron Cavalry, Yuan Nanting, the commander of Bai Yuwei and others, each had a seat, but the day before yesterday, Zhou Kang got up angrily in front of Gu Dazu, kicked the chair and left the hall, and in the subsequent deliberations, these chairs that originally symbolized identity became decorations.
Today, Zhou Kang and Gu Dazu have an irreconcilable dispute over the positioning of the next Chongzuka Military Town, this cavalry general with the reputation of a golden partridge stood on the side of the table with a sand table, smashed his left hand on the table with a fist, directly stretched out his right hand and pointed at the other side with his fingers, Gu Dazu said angrily: "Guarding and guarding will know that blindly shrinking and defending you Gu Dazu is so capable, I really don't know what is the use of the prince inviting you from the Central Plains to our Beiliang Border Army, if you hadn't written a book of ashes, It's not that the general and Mr.
Li were full of praise for your situational theory back then, and the general would have wondered if you were a spy of the Northern Barbarians."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Tiefutu deputy general Ning Emei, the young and strong generals who could only belong to the rising star compared to the veterans, felt a burst of fear, even the taciturn Chen Yunchui also heard his eyelids, Zhou Kang's words were obviously excessive, Chen Yuntui glanced at Gu Dazu out of the corner of his eye, the latter still had an indifferent look, and Zhou Kang showed no signs of showing mercy, and even pointed at Gu Dazu with his finger, "Even Hutou City can't hold it, Huaiyang Pass can defend the willow bud poria that relies on the flexibility and mobility of the cavalry to take the initiative to find fighters, and can hold you Gu Dazu is the commander of the infantry army, but he will be the deputy commander of the Beiliang cavalry, and he can't see the more than 10,000 cavalry troops in the two towns of Liuya and Poria because of your own opinion, you can only dismount and fight on foot, and in the end you can only die on the head of the city, let alone see the tens of thousands of cavalry under the command of this general can only crowd around this heavy mound every day, watching the front line every day robes and deaths, but you can't fight" In the end, Zhou Kang's eyes were almost on fire, and he reprimanded: "It's just that you Gu Dazu are afraid of death, I don't care if you like to be a grandson, but why do you want our cavalry to wait here for death."
Gu Dazu said indifferently: "Because there is no cavalry support led by Zhou, the heavy mound can't be defended."
The city is dead, and without the peripheral containment of the cavalry, there is no city in the world that cannot be attacked.
In the same way, without the cooperation of a stable city, the cavalry is a source of water, and it is not difficult to win a few battles, but it is unrealistic to win the entire battle. ” Zhou Kang sneered: "Then your infantry army will obediently stay in the town of Chongzuka Army, as long as you cooperate with our cavalry, it is enough to watch us kill the enemy, this requirement is not too much, now Dong Zhuo's army has not really gained a foothold, but our cavalry can walk around their own defense line with their eyes closed, not to mention rushing to kill, even if it is a night battle, we can fight neatly, and the disadvantage in strength can be made up for by our familiarity with the geographical situation."
Gu Dazu, you keep saying that you want to wait for the news of the two battlefields of Qingcang City in Liuzhou and Xiaguang City in Youzhou, and it is best to drag it to the new city on the border of Liangzhou, but you are also a person who has led troops to fight, how can you not know the fleeting truth of the battlefield fighter, should you think that when Chu Du is protected to death in Huaiyang Pass, your surname Gu Hao will go to that new city to be your next Lord Duhu?"
Gu Dazu's face did not change, he just stared at the third-in-command of the Beiliang cavalry who was open-mouthed, and said slowly: "Zhou Kang, there is no joke in the army, I can bear some words, but some words are not just finished as a fart." ” Zhou Kang squinted his eyes gloomily and smiled: "Finally, I can't bear the 30,000 cavalry of the Beiliang Right Army outside the city, and you dare to kill me in Chongzuka."
Then Zhou Kang smiled and pretended to look around, "There are funny jokes about throwing cups in romance novels, saying that as long as you lose the wine glass, there will be hundreds of knives and axes to kill people and chop people into meat puree, but you Gu Dazu don't have a wine glass in your hand, and these generals and captains in the house don't seem to listen to your orders."
Gu Dazu smiled, "You and I know very well, in Chongzuka Military Town, your commander Zhou has almost put me under house arrest, and all the generals here are more or less looking at me Gu Dazu now." ” For fear of adding fuel to the fire, the veteran Chen Yunchui, who has not interjected much, sighed, how can things get to this point If Chu Lushan is present, it would be good, otherwise it would be okay to change to either Yan Wenluan or Yuan Zuozong, this is the result of the dragons, if it weren't for the fact that everyone is facing this kind of major event that is enough to affect the trend of Beiliang and even the entire pattern of the world, Gu Dazu in the house, Zhou Kang, and even Qi Dangguo Ning Emei, these young leaders of the Beiliang army, can also be in charge, enough to decide the outcome of the war in a state, It simply won't be such a tricky headache.
Chen Yuntui thought of this, and suddenly felt a little sad, remembering the time when he was young, at that time, he was also such a fierce general, like a cloud of strategists, Li Yishan, Zhao Changling, Yan Wenluan, Wu Yong, Xu Pu, Yu Tieshan, Liu Yuanji, Zhong Hongwu, Chen Zhibao, Yuan Zuozong, Chu Lushan is just at that time, there will be a final word in the end, and there will definitely be no such strange situation that is close to infighting.
It's a pity that the prince has to rush to Liuzhou to fight the fire in person.
And Chu Lushan, the number one person in the border army who stubbornly defended Huaiyang Pass, did not make any pre-judgment decisions about the complex military affairs of the heavy mound behind him.
Chen Yunchui knew that if he didn't make peace again, he might have to fight in the council hall today.
Although Chen Yunchui is more inclined to Zhou Kang's initiative in his heart, but after all, Gu Dazu is the leader of the infantry army in Liangzhou, and Chen Yunchui will inevitably have some relatives for the unscrupulous insult and suppression of the Jin Partridge, in the final analysis, this is not a dispute between Zhou and Gu, but a long-standing natural difference between the Beiliang cavalry and the infantry army, this contradiction cannot be changed even if Yan Wenluan can't change it, the number of Beiliang infantry is the majority, but in the war with Beimang, the protagonist has always been the Beiliang cavalry, and it is the cavalry that finally decides the victory.
Just like when the old and the new in Beiliang were alternated before, the Dragon Elephant Army and the Great Snow Dragoon each attacked Beimang and shined, and then Youzhou, which was known as the base camp of the Beiliang Infantry Army, was really famous all over the world, and it was also the 10,000-strong Youqi led by the young general Yu Luandao.
Chen Yunzhui took a few steps closer to the table, pressed his hands lightly on the table, and said softly: "The battle situation in Liangzhou is unfavorable, and the same is true in Liuzhou, even the prince has to go there in person to face Liu Jue's army, maybe he will also face that Tuoba Bodhisattva."
Let's not make trouble for the prince, if you have something to say, talk less."
Chen Yuntui paused, and glanced at Zhou Kang and Gu Dazu who were facing each other left and right, "Everyone, let me remind you more, this is the border army hall whose specifications are second only to the Beiliang Protectorate, and this is not the Liyang temple where the civilian officials use their mouths and military attaches to break their legs, and we are not the Wenchen who are out of the way and strategize, you and I are both leading troops to fight, maybe tomorrow who will go to the battlefield in person, maybe today is the last time I Chen Yuntui and you will meet."
I believe in General Gu's prudence, and I also believe in General Zhou's courage, the Chongzuka cavalry is a battle or a defense, at present, it seems that there are advantages and disadvantages, General Gu and General Zhou have said a lot, now Huaiyang Pass can not be contacted, Commander Yuan is not in Liangzhou, and the prince also went to Liuzhou, where the war situation is urgent, then we retreat to the second, can Chongzuka negotiate a compromise style of play can be both offensive and defensive, for example, General Gu thinks that the left army under General Zhou's 30,000 cavalry, and General Qi's 6,000 Tiefutu and General Yuan's Bai Yuwei, all of them are out of the nest, It is too radical to seek to achieve a huge feat of killing more than 100,000 enemies in a large battle, then" Gu Dazu hesitated for a moment, but still said in a firm tone: "Commander Chen, I can't hide it, Chongzuka not only has to be defended, but more importantly, we have to leave enough cavalry for Beiliang, this is not a question of radical or conservative at all, but we can't fight this battle from the beginning, take a step back and say, even if the cavalry kills more than 100,000 enemies, even if you damage more than 30,000 on your side, resulting in the entire left cavalry army being unable to form absolute combat power within a year, then our Beiliang has actually lost."
Moreover, in the face of Dong Zhuo's army that came prepared, in the face of the cavalry army under Dong Zhuo that had been recuperating for a long time, the 30,000 left cavalry army and the two elite cavalry troops under the command of General Yuan of Qi, if they can really guarantee a complete victory without losing their vitality."
Gu Dazu picked up the special bamboo pole and drew a large circle south of Chongzuka and north of the border of Liangzhou, "He Zhonghu's 40,000 right cavalry army, why is it still standing still at this time without hearing the bad news of Hutou City, so he went north to Chongzuka in anger The reason is very simple, whether the new city that cost me half of Beiliang's family can be successfully built determines whether Beiliang can fight outside the pass again, under this premise, Huaiyang Pass can be lost, and even the Chongzuka where we are can be lost, but we must before breaking the city, As much as possible, block the footsteps of the Beimang army in the north of the new city, the longer the better, how many enemies and how many military exploits my Beiliangbian army killed during this period does not matter, it can even be said that Chu Du will not die, I Gu Dazu will not die, you Chen Yun will not die, he Zhou Kang will not die, it does not matter."
Gu Dazu smiled bitterly: "Dong Zhuo can't wait for our cavalry to take the initiative to fight with him and exchange troops, he, the king of the Southern Courtyard, is very happy to say something ugly, their Xijing and Beiting of the Northern Mang Barbarians will only care about how many Beiliang border troops he Dong Zhuo killed, and will not care too much about how many Beimang soldiers have died, you look at the Hulukou on the Eastern Front, that young military general named Chong Tan, how many Beimang siege infantry soldiers were forced to dieNo matter how many people died, as long as he broke through Wogong City and Luanhe City, it was not the same as being added to the rank by the old woman Murong, I might as well assert here that as long as the Left Cavalry is dispatched, even if more than 10,000 people are killed in battle, the king seat of the Southern Courtyard sitting under his Dong Zhuo's buttocks will finally give us a shaky beating, and we can immediately stabilize it for another half a year."
Gu Dazu looked down at the sand table, his voice hoarse, "I know, I'm afraid that except for me Gu Dazu, everyone in the room feels that since Chongzuka has so many troops, he chooses to avoid it and not fight, and he can't stand the Beiliangbian army that died in the battle of Hulukou in Youzhou, and he can't stand Hutoucheng and Liu Jinu."
At this moment, a slightly indifferent voice came from the gate of the council hall, "Enough." ” Not only did Gu Dazu raise his head suddenly, but all the generals, including Zhou Kang and Chen Yunchui, quickly turned their heads to look at the slender figure.
The young man is dusty, but it makes people feel extremely reassured.
This person is Xu Fengnian, who rushed to Chongzuka Military Town from Tianjing Ranch alone, in order to rush to the front line of Huaiyang Pass as quickly as possible, and in order to bring more troops to Liuzhou to Shifu, the general of Liangzhou, who is back in power, Xu Fengnian never even brought a white horse.
Rushing recklessly, the sword qi planted by Qi Jiajie that had been suppressed in his body was ready to move again, which made Xu Fengnian, one of the four great grandmasters, not look good, but what really made Xu Fengnian angry was the undercurrent turmoil in the council hall.
Liangzhou Hutou City fell, Liu Jinu died in battle, Liuzhou is very likely to be a bad situation in which the Dragon Elephant Army is annihilated, can Youzhou Hulukou make dumplings for Yang Yuanzan's army, the new city on the border of Liangzhou has not yet been built, and there is no giant city to rely on Outside the reliable Liangzhou Pass, he has already had to face the long-distance Dong Zhuo's middle line army, and He Zhonghu, one of the pillars of the Liangzhou cavalry, was suddenly critically ill, and Xu Fengnian himself was temporarily unable to participate in the war, it is conceivable how bad Xu Fengnian's mood is at this moment, It's just that the young vassal king who strode into the council hall still tried his best to endure it, but even so, Xu Fengnian did not reveal the intention of asking anyone about the teacher, and Zhou Kang, the deputy marshal of the cavalry who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was also completely arrogant in an instant, and he was a little weak-hearted.
Xu Fengnian exhaled lightly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I also want to go outside Qingcang City in Liuzhou, catch Tuoba Bodhisattva and beat him to death, it is best to even slaughter Liu Jue, but I can't do it now, and Liangzhou is more important than Liuzhou, so I can only run here without daring to stop a step, well, and then stand outside the door and listen to you quarrel for almost a quarter of an hour."
It's a pity that I couldn't see Commander Gu and Commander Zhou fight, and it's a little regrettable. ” Zhou Kang, who looked embarrassed, coughed a few times.
When some young lieutenants saw this scene, they forced back their laughter and endured it very hard.
Xu Fengnian did not continue to ridicule several veterans, walked to the north of the table, facing the south, and the generals of the left and right factions naturally held their breath and stood solemnly.
Xu Fengnian said: "The soldiers who surrender without a fight, that is the best trick of the civil officials, we don't want to do this in Beiliang, and the barbarians in Beimang want to go south, then we will win the battle, and they can't even go back to Beimang." ” "Winning the battle, this has always been the self-confidence of our Beiliang or the Xu family's iron cavalry, not conceited, but even Xu Xiao has never felt that fighting a smooth and deserving victory, what is there to be happy about, which battle established the status of our Beiliang border army in the Spring and Autumn War is which one is Xu Xiao personally told me that he fought the hardest, the most tragic, and the most dead in his life, so that several times he couldn't even see hope, and almost wanted to give up the Xileibi Battle, so now we Beiliang will face the second Xileibi Battle, Xu Xiao is gone, and Li Yishan, Zhao Changling, Chen Zhibao, Wu Qi, Xu Pu, Zhong Hongwu, etc., are also gone, but " "But now by my side, there are also you Chen Yunchui, Zhou Kang, Yuan Nanting, Qi Dangguo, Ning Emei, and Gu Dazu, who is new to Beiliang, a little north, Huaiyang Pass and Chu Lushan, to the east, Youzhou has Yan Wenluan's infantry army and Yu Luandao's cavalry, there are Hu Kui and Huangfu Sword, and there are two heavy cavalry armies led by Yuan Zuozong in Beiliang in the gourd mouth, to the west, there are Xu Longxiang Li Mo Fan Wang Lingbao's dragon elephant army, Yang Guangdou and Chen Xiliang's Liuzhou Thorn Mansion, to the south, there are more, not to mention the local civil and military officials in Beiliang, there are even thousands of out-of-town scholars."
"Wei Tieshan, Liu Yuanji and others who have been discharged from the army, including the old soldier Lin Doufang, have made it clear that they want to make a comeback and return to the Beiliang Border Army."
Xu Fengnian suddenly smiled and said: "In the future, is there such a story in the history books about Beiliang fighting a country with one place, that is the matter of Liyang civil officials, we don't care, they love to write how they want, but at least I think that in a few years, everyone here, strive to survive, and it is always good to nag with their children and grandchildren about the career of the horse in the past." ” "It's probably like what Xu Xiao nagged me about all those years."
"If anyone here dies in battle, there will be no such blessing as to show off to young people."
Xu Fengnian said this, looked at Zhou Kang, "For example, if you Zhou Kang died in battle, I believe that there will be an old man surnamed Gu in the future, if you meet a young man surnamed Zhou, you may sit down and chat casually, drink wine, and say that the old man named Zhou Kang in your family back then always spoke badly, but he was a hero who was willing to die generously for Beiliang." ” Xu Fengnian's expression was in a trance for a moment, and then he smiled: "If I die in battle, and any of you survive, then please tell your children and grandchildren that Beiliang is defeated in a fight to the death, not lost without a fight." ” “”:
