At the beginning of November, a light snow arrived, and the icy snowflakes covered the ground with a thin layer of chill.The fields in the distance and near away, the mountains and forests and cities in the distance are all clothed in white vastness.The north wind was howling, the flags were blowing, and a horse army of more than 10,000 people, completely ignoring the erosion of the wind and snow, marched quickly along the road.Zhao Ming regained Nanjing, and the news would soon reach Xuzhou, when Wu Sangui would most likely withdraw his troops immediately.The Zhou army took advantage of the civil war of the Ming army to launch a surprise attack, and according to the Ming army in Xuzhou, how could Zhao Ming let Wu Sangui retreat.Hmph, I hit someone, and you still want to leave?
On the second day after the Ming army regained Nanjing, Li Dingguo returned to Yungui, and Gao Yigong, Jin Shenghuan and others returned to Huguang to prepare for a large-scale counteroffensive.However, if they returned and mobilized their troops and horses, Wu Sangui's army might have already withdrawn to the Zhou State to set up defenses.Therefore, when Li Dingguo and others left Nanjing, Zhao Ming also sent Li Yuanyin to lead more than 10,000 elite horsemen to outflank Wu Sangui's back road non-stop.After the cavalry crossed the Yangtze River, they galloped all the way, just to catch up, before the news of Nanjing reached Xuzhou, inserted between Xuzhou and Luoyang, and cut off Wu Sangui's retreat.At this time, the cavalry galloped, the horse's hooves trampled on the ground, splashing pieces of slush, Li Yuanyin took the lead, and the ten thousand horsemen galloped behind him, and it took only two days to arrive at the south of Shouzhou.Earlier, Wu Sangui ordered Hong Chengchou to write an essay to denounce Zhao Ming and threaten to send an army to Nanjing.In order to cover up his intention to seek Xuzhou, Wu Sangui led more than 10,000 people to Fengyang with his subordinate general Zhao Liangdong, bluffing, and confusing Zhao Ming.After Wu Sangui's army arrived in Xuzhou and began to besiege Xuzhou, Zhao Liangdong's partial division did not evacuate, but was stationed on the north bank of Shouzhou, across the Huai River, against the Ming army, protecting the flank of Wu Sangui's army, as well as logistics supplies.When Li Yuanyin was ordered to set off, Zhao Ming gave him a military order to join up with the defenders of Shouzhou, destroy the Zhou army's partial division on the north bank, and then take Kaifeng directly to block Wu Sangui's return route.Wu Sangui's nearly 200,000 troops, on the front line of Xuzhou Guide, grain and grass were transported to Luoyang in Guanzhong, and then arrived at the front line through Kaifeng.Once the Ming army penetrated between Luoyang and Xuzhou, Wu Sangui not only was cut off from the grain route, but it also became difficult to withdraw to Luoyang.At this time, after continuous marching, 10,000 Ming troops had arrived near Shouzhou."
General, the front is Shouzhou!"
One of the generals took out the map and said loudly.Li Yuanyin grabbed the reins of the horse, but said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Shouzhou City, contact the guards, and the army will go to Bagong Mountain with the general!"
”After finishing speaking, he pulled the reins of his horse, led the army, and went to Bagong Mountain outside Shouzhou City to hide.The army entered the foot of Bagong Mountain, found a dry forest, set up a simple camp, and after two days of marching, the exhausted soldiers took off the blankets and quilts from their horses, and huddled together to sleep.Li Yuanyin came to the mountain, gathered several subordinates, sat next to a big rock, spread out the map, and discussed.At this time, a personal soldier led a general, but it was He Yundeng, the guard general who guarded Shouzhou.Shouzhou, known as Chunshou in ancient times, is an important town in Jiangbei, during the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Wei and this many wars, is the place where soldiers must fight."
General Lee!"
He Yunden hugged his fists.Li Yuanyin hurriedly got up, "Why did General He come in person." ”He Yundeng said with a smile: "General Li did not enter Shouzhou, but led the army to come to this cold and frozen wilderness to go down to the village, I guess he must have been moved, so he came in person to see how to cooperate." ”Li Yuanyin asked He Yundeng to move Ma Za, invited him to sit down, and then said with a heroic smile: "General He came just in time, I have something I want to know from you." ”He Yundeng said: "But the situation of the enemy army on the other side?
”Li Yuanyin said: "How many enemy troops are there on the other side, who will lead the army, and what kind of equipment?"
”He Yundeng said: "The enemy general on the other side is Zhao Liangdong, who has 10,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers, and the equipment is quite well-equipped, and the horse army is the majority. ”"Zhao Liangdong?"
Li Yuanyin turned his head, looked at his subordinate generals and joined the army, and asked, "Who of you knows this person." ”"I've never heard of this person."
Everyone shook their heads.He Yundeng said: "This Zhao Liangdong is from Gansu, and he was a general of Meng Qiaofang earlier.After Meng Qiaofang took refuge in Wu Sangui, he was absorbed by Wu Sangui and performed well in the raid on the Hetao and the battle of the western expedition to Moxi.Among the Zhou army, the four generals Zhao Liangdong, Daniel Zhang, Sun Sike, and Wang Jinbao were called the four generals of Hexi.Therefore, Wu Sangui attaches great importance to him.Since Ben will be confronted with him, he has found that this person does have some ability. ”Li Yuanyin realized that it was a character who had only emerged in recent years, and as a senior on the battlefield, it was time to teach the new juniors a lesson.Li Yuanyin said in a deep voice: "The enemy army is stationed on the opposite bank of Shouzhou, and the general will lead the troops to find a suitable place to cross the river, and make a detour to attack it. ”He Yundeng pondered for a moment, stood up, walked to the top of the mountain, looked at the other side of the Huai River, and looked at Zhao Liangdong's camp.Li Yuanyin and others also came over and looked at a large Zhou army camp on the other side of the Huai River, and saw that the camp was crowded with people and the war horses neighed.Li Yuanyin continued: "The enemy army is only 10,000 and 5,000, and he can only pay attention to the river section near Shouzhou, and he does not know that this general is coming, and under the surprise attack, he should be able to break his camp. ”He Yundeng said with a smile: "The enemy army is only 15,000, and our army has 20,000 combined troops.I have been fighting for a long time, and there is no reason to be afraid of the enemy.Okay, just according to General Lee's wishes. ”At that moment, the two of them walked to the side of the big stone again, and He Yundeng said: "Zhao Liangdong is very cautious, the section of the river on the left and right of the enemy's camp for thirty miles should have his meticulous work. ”Li Yuanyin said in a deep voice: "So Ben will not be able to cross the river near Shouzhou." ”He Yundeng nodded and pointed to the map, "Caijia Town downstream, more than fifty miles away from Shouzhou, in the east of Kip Stone Mountain."
Even if Zhao Liangdong was cautious, the scouts would not jump over Kip Shi Mountain, so General Li could cross the river from here, and then bypass Kip Shi Mountain and raid Zhao Liangdong's camp. ”Li Yuanyin smiled and said, "General He has long thought about how to defeat Zhao Liangdong!"
”He Yundeng said with a smile: "It is true that I have had this idea for a long time, but the general has insufficient troops and cannot divide the troops, so he can only fight against the enemy soldiers across the river."
As soon as General Li came, the soldiers and horses were hidden in Bagong Mountain, and the general knew that General Li and a certain thought had gone together.So I'm here to give advice. ”The two couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, and Li Yuanyin immediately said: "Once the news of Nanjing arrives, the enemy army will be on guard, and this matter should not be delayed, and I will make a detour to Caijia Town tonight to cross the river."
Tomorrow, when General He saw that a certain army had arrived, he would immediately cross the river from the front and flank the enemy. ”He Yundeng clenched his fists solemnly, "General Li rest assured, this battle will be won, and he will definitely let the juniors of the Zhou army see that we are so powerful!"
”Li Yuanyin laughed: "Okay, give the young enemy general, teach a good lesson!"
