Chapter 782: Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins (Part 2)

ps: I'm very busy at the end of the period, I understand it, there will be 2 updates tomorrow, and the third volume will end at the same time!

When the sun went down, the battle was already over. On a high hill, more than a thousand Zhao soldiers surrounded Zhao's white-ground scorching sun, the great bird, and Zhao Yang sat on the chariot, his eyes fixed on it. Staring at the battlefield, there is the joy of the heavy battlefield, and the unwillingness to let the enemy escape.

It is simple to say that the brave who meet on a narrow road wins, but it requires a large number of dead people to practice this truth.

Looking around, countless corpses are scattered in the undulating Taihang Mountains. The torsos of the young soldiers were entangled with each other, and even if the dead soldiers died, they still held the swords and halberds tightly in their palms. Their still-cold blood infiltrated the dry soil, forming countless tiny streams that converged in the ravines in all directions, and slowly sank into the khaki earth.

Zhao Yang is worthy of being the old Ji Fuyu, but he guessed that the Zhijun would withdraw, but he did not expect to withdraw so decisively. He asked people to quietly dig up the stones and soil that blocked the gate of the gate overnight. After the sky brightened, two thousand Zhao soldiers and one thousand Han soldiers were ordered to pursue them. gone.

But it couldn't go very far, the coalition continued to pursue, and finally bit the tail of the enemy's rear. The battle lasted from the early morning to the evening, and the road was so narrow. If Zhao Jun kept holding the tail, it would mean that no one would go. After a tie, more than a hundred corpses of their own were left on the mountain road.

In the end, they thoroughly fought hand-to-hand in a small basin, smashing one after another, and still couldn't tell who was the braver. This is the scene in front of them.

As a result, Zhi's former army and central army were successfully evacuated, and only nearly a thousand people were overtaken by the follow-up troops led by Zhao Yang, and they were wiped out in one fell swoop!

After sunset, is there still a pursuit? This is a dilemma. If you let it go, the main force of the Zhi clan will have to retreat in full force. If they take risks, they may also be ambushed.

Zhao Yang's banner pointed forward. This gentleman had already shed blood and anger, but he also learned the lesson of the Qi people's army that went deep into the hinterland and was cut off from the food supply. There was a hint of caution in the extreme.

"The army camped here for the night, and the striker continued to chase!"

The generals who were named were ordered to leave, and Zhao Yang had to arrange the battle situation and discuss further strategies with his retainers. Tonight, his tent is expected to be brightly lit again.

"General, you are overdrawing your life." Doctor Bian Que, who was traveling with the army, was very worried. He had a deep understanding of Lao Dun during the march, and the food was not very stable on time. Although Zhao Yang listened to his instructions to take medicine on time, these days, In Bian Que's eyes, he was just a candle that was about to burn out, but kept expanding the fireworks, trying to release more light to illuminate the dark room.

"If I can be like Zhu Rong, show the light of heaven and earth, and benefit Zhao's family, even if I only have a mass of ashes left, why not?" Zhao Yang disapproved. After laughing, he pointed his finger heavily at the map Location.

"I'm going here!" That is Taigu where Wu Jing sacrificed himself, and it is also Zhao Yang's destination. He needs a big battle to control the dangerous pass of Taihang, and at the same time, for the sake of peace in Pingyang, Tongjiao, Shangdang, and Taigu. Sacrifice tactics retainers and soldiers to take revenge!

He also wanted to announce to Jin that the Zhao clan's western counter-offensive had already begun, let the Marquis of Jin and the Zhibo of Xinjiang know that in the palace of Xiqi, and told them to tremble and fear for their fate to follow the footsteps of Marquis Qi.

Zhao Yang's caution was not without reason. More than twenty miles away, an ambush was being set up.

"Set the archer on the mountain pass, and when Zhao Bing passes, he raises the fire and calls out, arrows and stones are sent!"

After the Zhao army launched the pursuit, Zhiyao did not let the main army fight. He knew very well that on the narrow mountain road, it was impossible to spread the battle formation. has disappeared. So he chose to retreat first, so that Zhao Jun could not catch up but would not lose, and then set up an ambush. He did not expect this to destroy all the enemy troops that were pursuing, but only wanted Zhao Yang to suffer heavy losses and retreat in spite of difficulties. .

At this point, he has no hope of entering the east of Taihang all the way, and it is not easy for Shimao on the other side to capture Changzi County. But they still have one hope.

"Just as my grandfather planned, Hanoi Zhao Bing has already been dispatched, Zhao Wuxi is still in Qi, I don't know how to win or lose, and Handan's post Wuzheng is also unable to withdraw under the harassment of Chen's and Bank of China, at this moment Wenxian is sure Empty, if a strange army can attack, it will surely succeed!"

In any case, the news has already been sent out by the car quickly. Zhiyao looked at the darkening night and thought to himself, "I don't know if my brother Changxiao's army is ready to set off?"

This plan is bold, but there is only one hidden danger.

Even though the prince Wei Ju is a hostage in Xinjiang, Zhiyao can't trust the Wei family at both ends of the first mouse!

The mainstay is a huge mountain in the middle of the river. In the ancient times of ignorance and famine, this mountain blocked the channel of the Yellow River, making the river unable to flow smoothly. When Xia Yu controlled the flood, he cut the rivers on both sides of the mountain wide to allow the river to flow through, but he was helpless to the mainstay.

This mountain is like a tall stone pillar, standing in the rapids of the big river, turning the originally spacious river into three narrow rapids, commonly known as the "human gate" in the north, "God's Gate" in the middle, and "God's Gate" in the south. It is called "Ghost Gate", and "Ghost Gate" is especially dangerous, and it is also called "Sanmen Gorge" in later generations.

The current of the big river is the most urgent and dangerous in this area. When ships pass by, accidents often happen when they hit the rocks and die. Therefore, the shipowners and merchants talk about the mainstay and change their color, and it is difficult to carry out upstream and downstream shipping.

Therefore, the vessels transporting pottery and lake salt from the Fans and Weis were concentrated in the area east of the main pillar, such as this small fishing village called "Huqiu". It has become an important port in the middle reaches of the river.

Just three days after Zhao Yang arrived at Zhuguan, there were also many soldiers gathered here. Zhiyao's brother Zhixiao was the commander, and he took the soldiers to board the big ship provided by the Wei family.

The drums sounded, and it was time to set sail. The Wei's salt boat without sails was covered with sackcloth, but inside was fully armed Zhi's soldiers. "I just hope that the filth they spit out doesn't sink the boat." Linghu Bo thought so, but he flattered Zhixiao with a smile, wishing the eldest grandson of the Zhi clan a victory and a feat no less than that of his younger brother Zhiyao.

Zhi Xiao is ugly, so he is not favored by his father. If his grandfather insisted on his identity as the eldest grandson, he would have been forgotten long ago, so he needs a victory this time to prove himself.

Of course, he also wanted something else.

"I heard that Zhao Qing's daughter is also in Wen County. Although there are rumors that she is not the daughter of Zhao's family, her appearance has already crossed Taihang and spread to everyone's ears. If you go to Hanoi, you may be able to see the real face, you know. , I still have an abandoned marriage with her." Zhi Xiao looked at the river flowing eastward with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Only the slow, steady beat of the drum and the soft stroke of the wooden oars were heard, and the ships laden with soldiers instead of salt groaned, the heavy haul ropes taut, and slowly left the port and sailed east.

Zhi Xiao invited Lu Xing to join him on the expedition but failed, so he said goodbye to Linghu Bo and Lu Xing on the boat. After boarding the boat, he leaned on the railing to imagine the victory scene and beauty.

Lu Xing watched the boat go away, and his smile suddenly solidified. This sneak attack was the plan of the Zhi clan, and he Wei clan only provided the boat.

"Now the battle situation in the east of Taihang is undecided. Is it really good for us to help Zhishi like this?" Lu Xing, who is good at shooting, visually estimated that there were a whole division of Zhishi soldiers, and Wei Shi provided most of the salt boats to load them. .

"The Wei family still respects the Marquis of Jin and obeys the ruling, but this time, the head of the family and the prince have other plans." Linghu Bo had a flowing beard and watched the boats leave from the shore.

He was convinced that the Wei clan was the winner of this war. In the early stage, he joined the Zhi clan, obtained the Fan clan's inheritance, and avoided fighting with other Qing clans in the Hedong area, thus safeguarding the interests of the clan. Now that the Zhi clan has become more and more reliant on the Wei clan, the next step is to further win their trust. If the situation is not good in the future, the knife can be stabbed even harder!

Therefore, the prince Wei Ju took the initiative to go to Xinjiang to accompany the Marquis of Jin and became a hostage.

The reason is that the head of the Wei family, Wei Hua, has more and more needs in his heart. He is no longer satisfied with letting the Wei family protect himself between the two groups, but wants to make this chaos last as long as possible. . No matter which side of the Zhao clan and Zhi clan wins, they will be able to control the semi-Jin kingdom of Thailand and achieve a monopoly, which is not good for the Wei clan.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Wei family, the Han family is really stupid. If they were willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Wei family instead of joining the Zhao family with all their strength, how could they have fallen into the dilemma they are today?

Wherever the limelight prevails, Wei Shi will find ways to help the other side, whether it is overtly or secretly. So they transported salt and grain to the Zhao family for sale, and at the same time let the Zhi family get on the boat to give the limelight a boost. On the one hand, they controlled Wei Cao, and at the same time, they wanted to make some trouble for the Zhao family in the west of Taihang.

If you ask them when will they choose a camp? That must be the time when the war is about to be decided and Wei Shi has to make a choice, Linghu Bo thought.

After waiting for half an hour, there was no longer a shadow of the boat on the river, Linghu Bo was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by a messenger who came here in a hurry~www.wuxiahere.com~ hurriedly said in his ear a few words.

Linghu Bo was stunned at first, then opened his mouth slightly, and finally turned around abruptly, staring at the sneak attack fleet that was already more than ten miles away, dazed.

"What happened?" Lu walked over and asked.

"It's the latest news, Zhao Wuxi, Zhao Wuxi defeated the Qi army in the East, and will return to Jin in the future!"

Hearing this, Lu Xing's face was also pale. Zhao Wuxi was no longer a boy who fought archery with him in the palace, but a general who was in charge of tens of thousands of troops and controlled 2,000 troops.

"So Hanoi is not empty, it seems that Zhixiao is in danger! It's just a pity for those good salt boats."

But now, there is no way to chase the fleet, it is light and fast to go down the river, but it is difficult to get to Taihang when I think about it again!

Linghu Bo thought further, he squatted by the river with a sour face, very unwilling, their Wei family's organs were exhausted, and the news of Wu Xian's return seemed to be a big joke! After his return, the balance of the war situation in Jin will deviate from the familiar track of the Wei family. Perhaps, it is time to make a choice (to be continued.)
