Chapter 451: I always feel like time is not waiting for me


Li Tan's career has always been extremely smooth, it can be said that he has not encountered any obstacles, and it is inevitable that he will be vigorous when he is young, and he will offend people inadvertently.

The battlefield of Chaoge was to retreat with Shi Xuan with Donggong Gaoli and the men and horses of the Qianren clan, and the miscellaneous soldiers had fled after seeing them leave, and Huan Wen's counteroffensive was almost immediately defeated.

A rout battle did not bring much success to Huan Wen's troops, only killing 35,000 people and taking more than 27,000 prisoners.

This is related to the fatigue of Huan Wen's troops, they have been surrounded for too long, the troops are in rotation to fight, and then they do not have many cavalry, and the results achieved are quite limited.

The final decisive stage was not satisfactory, but the results achieved after a month and 19 days of fighting were extremely great, and the statistics that can be counted are that more than 80,000 enemy troops have been destroyed, and their losses are nearly 30,000 combat strength, and the number of casualties on their own side is 14,000 and seven.

Later, Ran Min came in person and reported that Xie An and Li Kuang had acted according to the plan.

The information that can be obtained is that Xie An stopped the retreating remnants of Shi Xuan, and the two sides engaged in a battle about forty miles northwest of Chaoge.

Li Kuang's unit also encountered enemy troops, and the report was that the enemy troops encountered were all small and small units, and the number was quite large.

Li Kuang's Shijie Zhao army was the one that collapsed from the Chaoge battlefield, and the Shijie defeated troops who lost their formation were of course a small force, and their main task was to wrap up, and most of them continued to march towards the destination, leaving a small number of troops to surrender to the Shijie rout.

There is no new information on the battle situation on Xie An's side, and Ran Min's order is to let Li Tan lead his headquarters to support, and arrange for his old subordinates to dismount and lead 10,000 light cavalry as a response.

The Yulin Army is a cavalry force, and one person and three horses are very suitable as a support force, and Li Tan, who received the order, left happily without seeing Huan Wen's unkind eyes.

Ran Min gave a few more orders, probably taking advantage of the collapse of the Shijie Zhao army in this direction, the troops did not stop to rest, and they should advance as much as possible.

Waiting for their respective troops to start, Ran Min deliberately entered the camp of Huan Wen's department, and after observation, he could find that this was a very tired army, and the number of wounded soldiers in the wounded battalion was even larger.

"You're fighting hard."

Ran Min wandered around the wounded barracks, and some of the names could still be called.

He came out of the wounded barracks and said to Huan Wen, "It won't be long before the king's will will be delivered." ” Huan Wen was blind to the current situation, and he intended to inquire but saw Ran Min's cold attitude, so he put up with it.

Ran Min's cold attitude was because the condition of his old subordinates was too miserable, and he couldn't have any attitude towards the king, so he could only complain about Huan Wen, who was the main general.

At the end of the Chaoge War, the reinforcements came and went quickly, Huan Wen paid attention to it, the number of troops going north should be 1340,000, the number of various cavalry reached 80,000, and the siege equipment carried by the infantry was very sufficient.

It was probably an hour after the Northern Expeditionary Corps all went north, Wang Meng arrived with Liu Yan's will, and he was accompanied by some reward materials.

There are two wills brought by Wang Meng.

The first order is to reward Huan Wen and all the soldiers who are still full of fighting spirit in an extremely difficult environment, and those who should be promoted will also be promoted.

The second order was to order Huan Wen's troops to become the reserve of the Northern Expeditionary Corps, and let them rest on the spot.

"Secretary Lang."

Huan Wen had a deep impression of Wang Meng, but the two had no friendship.

He greeted first, then saluted and asked, "Can you tell us about what happened recently?"

Wang Meng didn't dare to hold it up, he didn't have a task that he urgently needed to complete, and patiently told Huan Wen about what had happened recently.

The biggest thing is that Shi Hu provoked a racial vendetta, although the Hu people broke out everywhere in the Han realm, but because the Han State had already prepared, the Hu people's riot looked quite big, but it was not enough to have any subversion.

"News keeps coming from the north."

Wang Meng had obvious grief and said: "The Jin people in Shijie are fighting their own battles, and they have been killed very badly, and the further north they go, the more miserable they are. ” Huan Wen specifically pointed out to Wang Meng that the title of "Jin people" was actually a depressing attitude, and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was now completely a joke, and the title of the Jin people was also equivalent to weakness.

"The king sent fast horsemen to organize resistance in various places."

Wang Meng didn't know what to think of, and sighed: "There is no new news coming back for the time being, I hope the situation can be improved." ” Huan Wencai didn't care how the Hu people launched the massacre against whom, what he wanted to know was the development of the battle situation, and when his patience was about to run out, Wang Meng finally said the relevant part.

"The purpose of the advance and retreat here is to stretch the enemy army, and also to create the illusion that our army is about to retreat, so as to take advantage of the time gap and the psychological changes of the enemy army to make a surprise attack."

What Wang Meng said has been realized, and the facts have proved that the plan has been effective, that is, it failed to annihilate the main force of Shijie on Chaoge's side.

He said what Huan Wen wanted to know the most: "The king organized the Northern Expeditionary Corps, with the general Ran of the Northern Expedition as the main general, and the order he received was to go north all the way. ” It seems that the impact of the Hu uprising on the hinterland is really limited, Huan Wen has great expectations for the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Corps this time, and thinks: The headquarters should be rested as soon as possible Wang Meng's side was talking about the war in the direction of Jizhou.

The Jizhou battlefield has been stalemate for almost two years, and Lu Tai's department is using Zhangshui as the line, confronting and seeming with Shi Bin's border army and Murong Ge's Xianbei cavalry in Hejian County and Bohai County.

Recently, there have been many repetitions of the Jizhou battlefield.

In order to deal with the Han and Miao descendants in Shijie, Lü Tai's troops launched a cross-river attack, but Shi Bin's border army did not expect it and caught off guard, and killed Lü Tai's troops into the hinterland of Zhangwu County.

In the early stage, Shi Bin wanted to open up the space and let Lu Tai's department go deep enough, so as to cut off the back road of Lu Tai's department and directly fight a siege and annihilation battle in Zhangwu County.

Lu Tai's subordinates really went deep enough in Shi Bin's intention to make way of space, and what they did the most along the way was to gather the same clan who were willing to flee south.

After Shi Bin found out about such a move, Shi Bin deliberately drove the Jin people to run towards Lu Tai's department, and the more people Lu Tai's department gathered, the slower the action would be, which was more beneficial to Shi Bin's encirclement and annihilation of Lu Tai's department.

"After Wang Shang mobilized ships from the Bohai Sea into the interior, and was discovered by Shi Bin, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the Zhangwu River section of Zhangshui."

Wang Meng didn't know much about the process, and said briefly: "Until the end of the battle, about 170,000 people were rescued in Jizhou, and nearly 20,000 troops were lost. ” At this moment, Huan Wen was thinking: This kind of uneconomical thing should not happen too much.

"During this period, Murong Ge launched an attack on the south bank of Zhangshui."

Wang Meng saw that Huan Wen was stunned, and thought that Huan Wen was interested in the war in Jizhou: "Since Lu Lang will go north, how can there be no new troops in Zhangshui, but it is Murong Ge who has encountered an ambush."

Huan Wen didn't want to listen to the war in Jizhou, so he casually said a few words and asked: "This Northern Expedition, only we have this way" Wang Meng was still talking about Murong Ge's ambush and retreated after leaving his tail broken, and when he heard Huan Wen's question, he smiled bitterly and said: "Meng is just a secretary."

The official position of the secretary Lang is not high, and it can even be said that it is below the middle level, and the three princes and nine secretaries are matched with at least one secretary Lang, but Wang Meng, the secretary Lang, directly serves the king.

Huan Wen couldn't ask a reason, so he was relatively patient with Wang Meng, or Wang Meng saw that he was dealing with it and took the initiative to leave.

Wang Meng left, and wandered around the big tent for a while before he went in to see Huan Wen.

Tiao Yu didn't meet with Ran Min this time, he was actually avoiding suspicion by doing so, and he didn't know how to face Ran Min.

He had a lot of hesitation at the most critical moment, and even thought about surrendering Shi Xuan, but he strengthened his position in the end.

"The long history came at the right time."

Huan Wen was quite enthusiastic about Tiaoyou, beckoned him to sit down but didn't gossip, and said directly: "What the general means is that the troops need to rest and recuperate within two days." ” A stunned expression flashed on Tiao You's face, they had been surrounded for nearly two months, and the troops could be said to be extremely tired, and it was absolutely normal to take a break for the entire two or three months.

He knew that Huan Wen was a kind of mind that couldn't wait to make a contribution, and he used a commanding tone instead of discussing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"The battle of Puyang was dispersed before it was fought, and our mission became a lone army to attract enemy troops to surround us."

Huan Wen said with emotion: "We insisted for forty-nine days, and then there was a complaint. ” When Li Tan said that unpleasant sentence, Tiao Yu was also present.

"I don't know what Changshi thinks, but Ben Jiang is extremely annoyed."

Huan Wen really had an angry look on his face, and scolded Li Tan by name, and then said: "For the sake of the mountain, the general doesn't want to fall short, since Shi Xuan escaped from our side, we should eliminate them."

"The king has already issued a decree of reward and reward" After considering it for a while, he said uncertainly: "The siege has been lifted, and there are rewards and rewards, and the morale of the soldiers is quite high, but it is difficult to lift it temporarily due to fatigue" "Long history," Huan Wen said in a high tone: "If the things that are complained about are spread, I don't believe that the soldiers don't want to fight."

Tiao You thought: Come on, for the sake of meritorious service, it is completely to use Li Tan as a target.

But it's also a good idea Li Tan, who was taken out by Huan Wen as a target to boost the motivation of the headquarters, after he led his army north, he bit Shi Xuan's tail in less than half an hour.

Following Shi Xuan's group to retreat to Shangdang County, there were not only Donggong Gaoli and the Qianren clan, but also a considerable part of the troops composed of the Qiang, Di, and Xiongnu tribes.

The latter three ethnic groups were armed out of Zhang Qun's thoughts, mainly because they were afraid that the Han army would chase them, so they intended to take them away, and when they were pursued, they would have the rear troops.

According to Zhang Qun's original intention, he refused Shi Xuan's retreat to Shangdang County instead of returning to Yecheng to be with Shi Hu, but Shi Xuan was determined not to see Shi Hu, so what could he do.

Shi Xuan's troops are absolutely unlucky, the army sends scouts and scouts to generally reconnoiter within 30 miles of the headquarters and also play an early warning role, they don't know that there is such a Han army as Xie An in the northwest of Chaoge, and when they wait to know, Chaoge already has Qian Jiantong and Li Tan's headquarters stationed there.

Zhang Qun persuaded Shi Xuan to turn to the direction of Yecheng, but Shi Xuan was really afraid of being killed by Shi Hu and insisted on his opinion, so he unexpectedly bumped into Xie An's department.

Before Li Tan led the army north, Xie An's headquarters and Shi Xuan's headquarters had been engaged in a cruising war, that is, one side tried its best to break through the siege and continue to retreat to the northwest, while the other side was biting on the ground, and the two sides had been constantly changing horses and riding for a whole day of pursuit.

"Captive" Li Tan didn't want to stop and rest at all, the problem was that the mount couldn't stand it.

He urged his subordinates to hurry up and feed the war horses, and said casually: "We don't have so much spare time, so the captives will be thrown to the horses behind us and the light horsemen." ” Since Yao Yizhong was defeated and captured by the Han army, the Qiang people's morale has plummeted, and the point is to make it clear that the Qiang people will not fight the Han army, and they will not die if they can't fight, and they will accept surrender.

The situation of the Di people is only a little better than that of the Qiang people, their general leader went to Longxi and Beidi, and the Di people on this side of the Central Plains are in a situation where the dragons have no leader, and they are inertly working for the Qiang people, and there is a phenomenon of shrinking back without the constraints of the general leader, and they are not so dare to work hard.

Shuofang's five Xiongnu tribes were also beaten to the ground by the Tuoba Dynasty, the Huns should now be the most weak race, the number of Huns in the Central Plains is small, and most of the distribution is also very scattered.

After the Xiongnu scattered in the Han realm had Qian Jiantong as a benchmark, they simply sinicized independently.

Li Tan's Han army was often able to capture hundreds of Qiang, Di and Huns with dozens of people, and the phenomenon caused was that the Han army looked down on prisoners, and one or two thousand prisoners dared to stare at it with two or three thousand people.

Ma Yuan led the army to arrive, and saw that the more than 20,000 prisoners of war were only guarded by 2,000, but Li Tan's headquarters was nowhere to be seen.

When he learned that Li Tan had thrown prisoners of war to himself, he said to his subordinates with a wry smile: "Arrange it" After a pause, he said: "Li Lang will dare to arrange 2,000 guards to guard 20,000, let's add another 3,000 people to make up 5,000, and we need to hurry back to Chaoge." ” Li Jun, the Marquis of the Yulin Army, who was standing aside waiting for the handover, hurriedly said: "No, the order we got is to catch up with the large army immediately after the handover." ” Ma Yuan's brows immediately furrowed, he was a general, Li Jun was a military marquis, and the two were two levels apart, but Li Jun was a member of the Yulin Army, although he didn't hide his displeasure, he couldn't say anything more.

The original Ran clan Qin State has been fully incorporated into the Han State, except for some of Ran Min's retainers, most of them have become the official system of the Han State, and they basically choose to be low-key people, especially the group of people who followed Liu Yan's rise to the end of Weimo will be more humble.

"I'm sorry, General Ma."

Li Jun said apologetically: "The military order must not be violated, wait for the end of the war, and put a drink and a treat to thank you for your understanding today." ” Ma Yuan felt better at this time, after all, he put his figure lower, but he still had emotions
