Chapter 436: Finalist, Shi Siming


Chapter 434 is shortlisted, and the majestic sea is broken On the official road from Shanggu Yi County to Zhuo County, a majestic army with banners galloped with this. \ This army is under the command of Shi Siming of the Anjun Army, and its leading general is Shi Siming, the general of the Anjun Army.

It is only said that when Su Lie designed to capture Zhuo County, Shi Siming had already led the army to Yi County, and then with his own prestige, he personally led the army to garrison the front line of Yishui to resist the Xia army.

Yishui is connected to Laishui and Juma River in the north, and flows directly into the Juma River in the south, so its Yi County is surrounded and surrounded in it.

Therefore, Yishui formed a natural defense line from Jizhou to the north and entered Yi County, which was the only place to attack Yi County.

As early as when An Lushan was still the Taishou of Zhuo County, leading the army to resist Dou Jiande in Jizhou, for the safety of Yi County, he spent huge manpower and material resources to defend Yi Shui.

Therefore, the defense line along the Yishui coast can be described as impregnable, although it has been repeatedly attacked by the strong generals of the Xia army, it is still terrifying, firmly resisting the Xia army.

In fact, this is also related to the lack of water in the Xia army, after all, Yishui is extremely long, if you want to attack Yixian, you can only force Yishui, and often the defenders on the opposite bank can take advantage of the opportunity to fire a strong bow and crossbow together, and attack it halfway Therefore, many times, the Xia army has not yet broken through Yishui, and it has lost most of its military strength.

Not only that, Yishui is also a very famous place, according to the three records of the Warring States Policy Yan Ce: the famous "wind is sluggish and easy to be cold, and the strong man is gone" Yishui comes from here.

Even the poems of the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty are farewell to the Saiyuan, and there is a sentence about Yi Shui.

"It's easy to be ashamed, and tears are pouring down."

It can be seen that although Yishui has a long history and has been beaten by wind and rain, it is still standing Due to the strong defense line created by Yi Shui, coupled with Shi Siming's personal insistence, Dou Jiande was allowed to exert all his skills, and he could not break through Yi Shui and reach the opposite bank.

A few days later, as Shi Siming received an urgent battle report from Yi Ziqi, the defender of Zhuo County, Yan Qi's army had swept through all counties of Zhuo County, and the troops were approaching the city, the situation was critical, and he asked for support At this time, Shi Siming knew that the situation in Zhuo County was urgent, and after arranging the plan to defend Yi County, he led the army to rush to Zhuo County.

It's just that Zhuo County is not far away from Yi County, and the two sides are not far apart, but there is Laishui blocking it.

In addition, the places that go to Zhuo County are all flat rivers, and there are no mountains and rivers blocking them.

Moreover, Shi Siming also arranged defenses in Laishui, although it is not as strong as Yishui, it should not be underestimated This is mainly just in case, if Yi Shui is broken through, at least your own army will not be too passive, and there is still room for buffering.

At this time, on the windy road, in the direction of Zhuoxian at this time, there were several people with broken armor, covered in blood, galloping on horseback.

Before running to the military formation, I saw that the leader immediately dismounted, immediately knelt down on the side of the road, and shouted: "General Shi, the last general is worthy of your instructions."

"Zhuo County is lost" Zhuoxian was lost, and it was suddenly inserted into the heart of Sergeant An like a needle, and suddenly a herald rushed to the main formation to tell Shi Siming.

Hearing this, Shi Siming didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "Yi Ziqi" Yes, that's right, this blood-stained general is none other than Yi Ziqi, the chief general of the garrison Zhuo County.

If you want to say how Yi Ziqi escaped from the city and went here, it has to start with the order to shoot the pawns at that time.

At that time, after observing the hint of sly smile revealed on Su Lie's expression, Yi Ziqi felt deeply uncomfortable in his heart, and always felt as if something was going to happen Therefore, after returning to the mansion, Yi Ziqi ordered his guards to go and monitor the army to prevent changes in the soldiers.

On the other hand, Yi Ziqi also packed his bags early and prepared to retreat.

After all, Yi Ziqi, who has been in battle for a long time, is not a fool who can't understand the situation, and after knowing that he ruthlessly ordered to shoot and kill the soldiers, his Zhuo County is bound to be unable to defend for a long time.

However, what Yi Ziqi did not expect was that his army really launched a mutiny, and the number of people responding was increasing day by day This slightest move also caught Yi Ziqi off guard, and in the end, with his own bravery, and Su Lie's idea of not hunting down the pawns on a large scale.

Yi Ziqi was able to rush bravely and lead the crowd to break through with difficulty "Alas" "It's a pity, it's a pity, if you can hold on to the city for a day, Ben will definitely be able to lead the army back to help, Zhuo County will not be lost, and you will be able to crush the plan of the Qi army."

For a while, after hearing the causes and consequences mentioned by Yi Ziqi, Shi Siming couldn't help but sigh again and again, and there was a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

After all, if it weren't for Yi Ziqi's greed for profit on weekdays and his unauthorized deduction of the salaries and rewards of the soldiers under his command, even if there was a factor of shooting and killing the soldiers this time, it is expected that the scale and number of responders would not be too high In the past, even An Lushan and Shi Siming had persuaded Yi Ziqi to restrain his practices, but unfortunately Yi Ziqi did not improve in the slightest.

In view of Yi Ziqi's martial bravery, An Lushan only reprimanded and did not investigate deeply, if Yi Ziqi could know that it was because of his own soft-heartedness that led to the current situation, he would definitely regret hitting the wall.

After all, Zhuoxian is the hinterland of the An'an army, the foundation of the army, and an important hub connecting the two armies.

At this time, the loss of Zhuoxian County will also indicate that the connection between Shi Siming and An Lushan and Cai Xide will also be cut off, and the situation will fall into a great disadvantage Immediately, Shi Siming couldn't help but meditate, pondered, raised his whip, rode his horse and ordered, and said: "The whole army listens to the order."

"The whole army accelerated its advance and quickly approached the direction of Zhuoxian" When the order was laid, the whole army of the Anjun army immediately cheered up, took a step, and ran away urgently.

Obviously, Shi Siming wanted to take the opportunity to recapture the city with the Qi army that had just captured Zhuoxian and was still in an unstable foothold.

It's a pity that Shi Siming's plan will run aground after all, because Su Lie didn't act according to his ideas.

Zhuoxian County At this time, Su Lie was giving orders in a bold and orderly manner, to be precise, it should be an order to retreat.

That's right, Su Lie planned to withdraw the whole army from Zhuoxian, so as to lure Shi Siming to lead the army to attack and annihilate it by taking advantage of the situation.

After all, the capture of Zhuoxian was not the real purpose of the Qi army, and Su Lie's plan finally lured the An army in Jixian County, gathered together, and wiped out its living forces in a battle.

As for attacking and capturing Zhuoxian, it was just a cover to lure Shi Siming's army to attack.

Moreover, Su Lie did not fail in the slightest that after Shi Siming reoccupied Zhuo County, he stopped in moderation and stagnated, and did not support the war on the Ji County side.

Because, if Shi Siming refuses to support Jixian County, Su Lie can adjust his strategy at any time, turn fiction into reality, and attack Jixian County.

As long as Jixian County is captured, the Qi army can still achieve the established strategic purpose, so as to overlook Youzhou, or Su Lie can also lead the cavalry to garrison the border of Zhuo County, eyeing the tiger Waiting for Xia Jun's good news here, it is a decision to attack Shi Siming at the convergence of the two sides.

It can be seen that the initiative in this battle is in the hands of Su Lie, no matter how he chooses, Shi Siming's pursuit of the Qi army is an unstoppable thing "Soldiers, quickly move the available materials in the city with full authority, and strive for not a grain of rice to be left for the rebels."

At this time, I saw the treasury in the city, Li Zhong and Lu Zhishen were urging the sergeants to carry ordnance, grain foam and other materials.

Zhuo County, as the foundation of An Lushan's rebellion, is not a small number of ordnance and grain in the treasury.

The destruction of the city this time can be regarded as a complete solution to the next worries of the Qi army, and there is no need to worry about food and grass.

It must be known that this time Gao Qi led the army to the north, it was a battle in a different place, although it had the support of allies Dou Jiande and Luo Yi.

It's just that everyone knows that in the troubled times, there are no real allies among the princes, only interests Pinning all hopes on allies is clearly not a realistic move.

Therefore, the only military order to withdraw from the city was that Su Lie ordered the entire army to empty the city's treasury.

With so many supplies, with 10,000 cavalry and descendants, of course, it is impossible to move them all.

Therefore, the ordnance that could not be transported was almost destroyed directly, and the surplus food, Su Lie organized the sergeants, opened the warehouse to release the grain, and called on his people to come to receive the grain.

This move immediately made the reputation of the Qi army among the soldiers and the people erected, and the people of Zhuo County couldn't help but cry with joy, raising the food they received in their hands and shouting "The Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness" In fact, it is not because its people have behaved like this, even in the heyday, the people at the bottom can only ensure that their daily life can be guaranteed, and they will not go hungry.

Not to mention that this is a period of great chaos in the world, and officials and bandits in various places collude to raise prices, resulting in difficulties in people's lives The most important thing is that in order to expand their armaments, the warlords and anti-kings in various parts of the country forcibly co-opted the strong men and increased taxes.

This move has made the lives of the people who are not rich even worse, and the people are struggling to make a living.

At this time, Qi Jun's approach seemed to open another seclusion for him in the midst of danger, and the people couldn't help but see a new dawn.

This is true of everything, as long as people think that the world is the same, that there is nothing different, and that a new side just appears, it will make a big difference.

At this time, the Qi army was like a new army, different from the princes of the world, not robbing the people, but doing its best to help the people and tide over the difficulties.

In fact, this move is exactly the way of governing the country advocated by Gao Qi, and it is also the way he hopes to do, and it is also the direction that Gao Qi needs to make overall efforts in the future.

After all, Gao Qi came from the next generation and knew that it was impossible to achieve equality for everyone in the world.

Even in the society with a sound legal system in later generations, there was also a difference between the rich and the poor, not to mention the feudal society with a deep hierarchy at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, Gao Qi, who knew all this, did not choose to change, but he knew that he could not do it by himself.

Now he can only rely on his foresight and hands, and his subordinates to create a prosperous era together, minimize the burden on the people, and let them live and work in peace and contentment.

As for the rest, in a vain attempt to change the social system, only Gao Qi and his descendants slowly explored the way forward and carried out the transformation of the social pattern.

Therefore, this is Gao Qi's purest idea, of course, you can also choose to compete with the sky and forcibly change.

However, the result is nothing more than the second Wang Mang of the new dynasty After everything was ready, Su Lie ordered Qin Qiong to send the generals Li Zhong and Lu Zhishen to transport the ordnance and grain and escort the soldiers back to the camp in Jixian County.

As for Su Lie, he personally led 3,000 war cavalry to stay in Zhuo County to contend with Shi Siming's main force that was about to arrive.

In this regard, Qin Qiong immediately expressed his puzzled face, and hurriedly asked: "General, as the commander of an army, your safety is related to the victory or disgrace of the whole army."

"How can you personally lead the army to lure Shi Siming, in case something goes wrong, wouldn't it?"

Although Qin Qiong did not say the words in the back, the meaning was self-evident It is nothing more than if Su Lie misses, where will the whole army go It must be known that the general is the soul of the soldier, and the army without the main general will greatly reduce its combat power by one level.

Obviously, after this battle to capture Zhuoxian, Qin Qiong had been convinced by Su Lie without complaint, and his words were full of respect.

After all, this time, Su Lie almost lost zero casualties in battle, and Zhuo County, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the city wall was deep.

Moreover, it is still a city dominated by cavalry, and such a record is not inferior even compared to the commanders of several major armies of the Qi army Qin Qiong asked himself, if he led the army to attack Zhuoxian, he would definitely not be able to think of such a counter-plot to divide the soldiers in the city.

Hearing this, Su Lie's heart was extremely relieved, and he said, "It's okay, Ben Jiang won't have a hard time with Shi Siming."

"This time, the main purpose is to cover Uncle Bao, you safely sent the ordnance and food foam and the soldiers back to the Jixian camp, so as to avoid Shi Siming's light cavalry pursuit."

"Moreover, Ben will avoid Shi Siming's stagnation here, and if he does not lead the army to continue to march into Jixian County, he still needs to be provoked." only said that after Su Lie roughly explained, Qin Qiong was relieved, and then waved his gun and ordered, commanding seven thousand cavalry to escort the surrendered soldiers to officially start Seeing Qin Qiong gradually disappearing, Su Lie said slowly: "It seems that King Qi's analysis is really good, Qin Qiong has begun to grow up after this battle."

"Between words and deeds, he is full of calmness, and with the tempering of war, he will definitely be able to become a general."

Immediately after, Su Lie was also completely relieved, and set his eyes on Shi Siming, who was about to arrive.

After all, that was the ultimate goal of Su Lie's ambush this time.

Nearly two days later, at dusk, Shi Siming finally led the army to the outskirts of Zhuoxian County.

Looking from afar, I saw the Xiong sergeant in the An army formation panting This is also the reason why Shi Siming ordered the whole army to gallop this time.

It's just that what appeared in the eyes of Sergeant An was very weird.

Because, the gate of the city was suddenly opened, and a cavalry with banners, neat armor, and full of morale drove out in an instant.

Then, he stood tightly outside the city and confronted the soldiers and soldiers who rushed in.
