15, Sound East and West Strategies (6)
A few days later, Tuo Ying, who had just defeated a Julu County soldier, was taking his soldiers to move urgently, trekking between the swamp wetlands.
Nowadays, the place they are located is the largest water area in Julu County - Daluze.
Sima Qian recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian" that Dayu guided the river, crossed the river north to the north, and as for the mainland, the river is the Yellow River, and the mainland is the mainland.
For a long time before the Spring and Autumn Period, the direction of the Yellow River was to pass through the Mainland ze according to the old path of Yudaohe River, and then go north into the sea. In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yellow River was in the east and did not return forever, and the Mainland ze was completely isolated from the Yellow River.
Despite this, water such as the 材, 材, 材, and 材, which originated from the foot of the Taihang Mountains, was poured into the ze. The mainland ze, known as one of the nine zes in the world, is still a large water area of hundreds of miles in Hebei, where many waters gather and are magnificent.
When passing through the grassy waters, the heavy footsteps of the soldiers alarmed the animals living by the water. For a moment, a few water birds flew out of the weeds by the waters. With a giggle, they left them and escaped into the fog-filled storm.
Tuo Ying looked at the water birds flying far away and withdrew her gaze with some envy.
At this moment, he also wanted to become a water bird, break away from all kinds of shackles in front of him, spread his wings and soar above the clouds and fog and blue waves.
But the reality is that he still has to continue wearing muddy boots, dragging his heavy body, and continue moving forward in this continental lake.
Time has been pushed back a few days ago. After crossing the border with Zhongshan Kingdom, crossing the Hutuo River, he entered Julu County, where the slackened garrison was slackened.
The garrison of Julu County is very slackening, but this is not a mistake for the county garrison. In the hinterland of Hebei, since Yuan Shao dominated Hebei, the soldiers in Hebei have always been outside the enemy to attack the enemy. There has never been an accident of being attacked by the enemy.
Therefore, when Qu Yi, a light army with only weapons under the banner of Yuan army, captured Quyang's city gate and entered the city, the whole process was like flowing, and he did not suffer any violent resistance from the soldiers and civilians in the city.
In the city, he ran for more than 200 miles and fell many war horses along the way. The Ku family's army, who had escaped from two or three hundred soldiers, successfully captured the city again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Tuo Yi still used the guise of bluffing people, ordered the killing of pigs and sheep, rewarding the soldiers, and opened the arsenal in the city, equipped the soldiers under his command, collected the horses from the city into the army, and asked the soldiers to replenish dry food, clean water, and change clothes...
Just as the soldiers under his command were immersed in the joy of winning carnival, Qu Yi looked at the map and told Tuo Ying, Qu Guang and others worriedly that the next battle would become more and more difficult.
They attacked the slackened hinterland of Hebei, which means they fell into the heavy siege of Yuan's army. They will be subjected to various pursuits, intercepts, and ambushing on the way. If they are not careful, they will be wiped out in the situation.
The news of their capture of Quyang will soon be learned by the generals of Julu County. At the same time, this emergency military situation will be sent to Hejian, Yecheng and other places. Yuan troops from all walks of life will soon flock to intercept and kill them.
Although Xiaquyang was rich, they could not stay for a long time. The entire army must evacuate quickly after repair.
To the outside world, Que Yi carried out a lot of campaigns to capture a group of soldiers and civilians in the city, claiming to invade Changshan Kingdom and open up Jingxing. In fact, the elite main force he had been replenished again had continued to move south, and rushed to the mainland Zezhong in Julu with lightning speed.
Of course, after using this strategy of playing against the world once, the effect of using it again will be greatly reduced.
The suspicious soldiers who claimed to attack Changshan Kingdom could only arouse the careful guard against Yuan Jun stationed in Changshan Kingdom. They dare not act rashly, but could not hide the officials and county soldiers in Julu who were familiar with local geography.
After several small-scale encounters during this period, Tuo Yi's troops were able to enter Daluze, which was conducive to his hidden whereabouts, and he was able to take a breath for the time being.
But the Julu County soldiers who were familiar with geography and were chasing him at the right end soon arrived at Daluze and began to send troops to search for the traces of Tuoyi's soldiers and horses.
If they wanted to continue to move forward, they had to defeat the Julu County soldiers who were following closely behind. Therefore, Tuo Yi temporarily changed his plan to go south and began to trek in the mainland Zeli with his troops, trying to consume the morale and military strength of the Julu County soldiers, and find suitable fighter jets to wipe them out.
However, before the Julu County soldiers were wiped out, they learned another bad news from the prisoners. Yuan Shang and Wen Chou also led the cavalry to chase Daluze.
···
"Please look, the dead horses along the way and abandoned armor all prove that Kuo Yi's men and horses have reached the end of their strength. Although Daluze is conducive to concealing whereabouts, people and horses cannot be raised in time. The war horses will continue to die. In order to preserve their physical strength, soldiers will also abandon their armors when they trek on the muddy land."
"Add to the fatigue and disease, this is enough to drag down the remnant army of Queyi, who is short of food and grass and isolate and helpless!"
Wen Chou, who was wearing a helmet and armor, had a strong figure. He pointed to clues he had found along the way and said loudly to Yuan Shang who was walking with him in excitement.
Compared to Wen Chou, the cavalry general who was still energetic when he pursued for a long distance, Yuan Shangze, who had been in a wealthy manner for most of the time in the past, became much more declining.
When they set out to pursue, the encirclement that besieged Yijing Gongsun Zan had become riddled with holes due to the rebellion of Qu Yi and Gongsun Zan's attack. The cavalry under Gongsun Zan was even more helpless, and repeatedly avoided the real and attacked the void, capturing several cities of Zhuo County, Hejian, and Zhongshan counties and states.
As well as the disappearing Black Mountain bandits and the suppressed local tyrants in Youzhou all showed signs of revival.
Yuan Shang could only keep Ju Suqiang and let him clean up the mess with Chunyu Qiong, Yan Liang and other Hebei generals so that these people would take most of the responsibility for him in the future.
He and Wen Chou took the light cavalry and rushed to chase and kill the soldiers who fled south, preparing to use Tuo Yi's head to make up for the merits and make up for the remaining guilt that had been spread to him.
It was only after a long journey of three or four hundred miles that Yuan Shang, who had regretted it, realized that the life-threatening pursuit might not be much better than the generals who stayed in Hejian to clean up the mess.
Fortunately, according to the current situation, he led his army to chase and kill Tuo Yi, which made Yuan Shang feel a little better, and his bloody inner thighs didn't hurt so much.
His ears were buzzing by Wen's thunderous loud voice just now. Yuan Shang subconsciously urged the horse and opened a distance from the warrior.
After glanced at Wen Chou, who was rough and curly bearded, thinking about the gains and losses he had left Yecheng this time, Yuan Shang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I seem to be a noble and powerful young man, but sometimes I live less than a reckless man in the army who only knows how to fight!
Just as Yuan Shang was secretly lamenting, an elite scout came in front of him and separated the teams. He also captured a fugitive in the county armor on the saddle.
"Reported to the young master, general, his subordinates captured a fleeing soldier in front of him. When asked, he learned that this person was a garrison of the Julu County soldiers. According to him, one of their Julu County soldiers had just been ambushed by the rebels in front of him, and suffered heavy casualties. This person escaped at the last battle, so he was captured by his subordinates."
The scout saluted the horse and threw the captured Jung Teng General under the horse. He jumped off the war horse with agility, pulled up his head, and pulled out the rags stuffed into the Jung Teng General's mouth.
The general of the Tun just learned that the two horsemen in front of him were the general's son and the general's level figure. He was already scared. As soon as he spoke, he quickly clarified his behavior.
"Young Master, please spare your life. The villain did not escape at the last minute, but was defeated by the fierce battle. He was suffering heavy casualties and wounded under his command. He had to fight to break through and ask for help."
"Be honest."
When the scout heard that the garrison denied his statement, he immediately kicked him hard and kicked him to the ground again. He is a cavalry under Wen Chou and is a arrogant person in the army on weekdays. He may be a fugitive who was temporarily recruited to fight against a county military general who may also be a fleeing soldier who escaped in the battle. Naturally, he would not be very polite to take action.
"Enough."
Wen Chou had already set off his tall war horse and stopped the scout's violence. He stretched out his thick arm and easily grabbed the county soldiers and garrison like a chicken. He pulled him aside and asked in a urn:
"Tell me, how many rebels, flags, war horses, armors, weapons, and weapons have you, the Julu County soldiers encountered in front of you, and you must explain them clearly to me."
"General, the rebels who ambushed us in front of us, are numerous, probably, there are as many as four or five thousand people. They are armoured and armed, and they are the elites of the rebels—"
Before the trembling words of the county soldiers and garrison general were finished, Wen Chou reached out and slashed his ears hard. Wen Chou was extremely strong, and this time almost made the county soldiers and garrison general's face deformed, blood and tears suddenly burst out, and several teeth fell off.
"Stop reporting the military information to this general, just tell me what you saw with your own eyes, otherwise-"
In order to escape the blame, the defeated soldiers often like to try to exaggerate the enemy's military strength. Words like "It's not that our army is incompetent, but that's too strong" are endless, and it is easy to spread rumors and disrupt the morale of other soldiers.
Wen Chou, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, could certainly tell the truth about these words. If Qu Yi had four or five thousand elite soldiers, he would have turned around and defeated the Julu County soldiers, so he would not have to die in Dalu Ze. He endured the price of constantly losing people along the way, and desperately took the Yuan army to circle around.
As he spoke, Wen Chou's big palm had already clenched into a fist. He had no doubt that if he punched with all his strength next, the county military general who had been branded as deserters could be killed immediately.
