Chapter 934(1/2)
(Thanks to the book friend "Soul Drunken Xiangxi" for the 2 recommendation votes.)
"Following the order to quell the rebellion!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Kneel down and avoid death!"
The rebels of the King of Wei never expected that there would be a mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind.
After breaking through the gate of Anping County and rushing into Anping County, there was basically no troops deployed at the city gate.
When Xie Yu's cavalry came over, after a shower of arrows, Xie Yu easily led the cavalry into the county.
Hearing the shouts of Xie Yu's cavalry, the government officials and local soldiers who were able to resist took courage and began to resist.
After Xie Yu killed them for a while, he immediately let one of them go to the granary, and the other followed Xie Yu to the county government office.
When Xie Yu arrived at the county government office, he saw the rebels of the King of Wei carrying large logs and attacking the gate of the county government office. On the high wall of the county government office, there were also government officials holding bows and reflecting.
Xie Yu shot down with one arrow the general who commanded the rebel army of the King of Wei to attack the county government.
With another flurry of arrows, the rebels, who had shown astonishing courage just now, immediately started running away.
After quickly controlling the situation, Xie Yu shouted to the county government: "I have come to quell the rebellion by decree of the Heavenly Court. I hope the county magistrate will open the door."
Someone behind the county office answered: "Who are you? Are you trying to trick me?"
Xie Yu: "I am the newly appointed captain of the imperial court. I have captured the general Xie Yu. I have proven my sincerity by killing the rebels of the King of Wei. Why don't you open the door quickly?"
Seeing that the people in the county government were still hesitating, Xie Yu knew that troops were valuable and quick.
So, Xie Yu threw in his official seal, hesitated for a moment, and then with a cruel heart, he also threw in the Flying Eagle Biography that Major General Ling Buyi had given him.
The gate of the county government office immediately opened, and a civil servant about thirty years old, dressed as a county magistrate, appeared in front of Xie Yu.
This man was holding Xie Yu's military seal and the silk letter from Major General Zhang Ling Buyi.
He said happily: "It turns out that General Xie is a subordinate of General Zicheng. Sure enough, he is Minjian. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise there would be consequences... By the way, Cui Jian of Anping County has met General Xie."
Hearing County Magistrate Cui address Ling Buyi in this way, Xie Yu had an idea in his mind.
Sure enough, although the small circle of aristocratic family genealogy controls many ascending paths in the court, the relationships within it are complicated.
But it is also a small circle of acquaintances. The more powerful the people are, the more "familiar" they are with each other.
Cui Jian was able to call Major General Ling Buyi this way. He was a member of a noble family and was relatively close to Ling Buyi's faction.
Xie Yu said in a friendly tone: "The young general has long expected that the King of Wei has disobedient intentions, but he has no evidence and does not dare to take any more action. He only asked the general to take some precautions."
"It's just that I didn't expect King Wei to dare to do this. It would have been too late, but I hope Mr. Cui County won't be surprised."
Cui Jian: "My uncle Cui You values the young general the most. In fact, the county has also noticed it and made some preparations. However, the incident happened suddenly and the county was a little careless. General Xie came in time."
Sure enough, someone who has experienced troubled times can still be an official. Although he has the support of his family background, he is not a fool.
If the King of Wei wants to mobilize troops, there will naturally be some signs, such as an increase in military strength, and the number of people is not grass, it can be increased as long as it is long.
The consumption required for military training, the iron materials that can be used to make weapons, horses, etc., some traces should not be too obvious in the eyes of people-friendly officials in this era when circulation is still very closed.
At this time, a knight from the cavalry battalion rushed over and informed Xie Yu that the rebels had been put down and the granary had been taken back.
Xie Yuhe: "Okay, okay!"
Then, he looked at Cui Jian and said: "Cui County Army, the military situation is urgent, and the general will no longer greet you. I want to hand over the prisoners to you temporarily. I don't know if I can."
"A little later, my infantry will arrive at Anding. It's up to you to hand it over to them."
Cui Jian asked doubtfully: "There is no problem, but General Xie, what do you mean?"
Xie Yu: "I'm thinking that Jingyang County should encounter the same problem as you, but they are close to Linjin, the seat of Feng Yi County, so the situation may be worse."
"But no matter how bad things are, the rebels have just taken Jingyang, so their footing is still unstable. This is an opportunity."
Cui Jian: "If you dare to disobey your order, I know Li Feng, the magistrate of Jingyang County, and I will send my men to go with General Xie. I hope it's still in time!"
Xie Yu: "Of course you can. Magistrate Cui hopes that your men can ride horses!"
Cui Jian: "I understand, I understand."
After that, Cui Jian, the magistrate of Anding County, helped wrap things up and the situation became more stable.
But Xie Yu made a sudden trial and commanded the commander of Anding County to be defeated.
With Xie Yu's methods, he quickly betrayed the King of Wei, and even asked Xie Yu to pretend to surrender to the rebels of the King of Wei who had captured Jingyang County.
The situation is urgent now, and Xie Yu has few soldiers, so we can only take the risk.
As a result, it was naturally successful.
For three consecutive days, with this move, he not only faked the surrender of Jingyang, but also of Gaoling and Pinyang, and took back four counties in a row.
As for the further administrative offices of Xiagui, Suyi, Chongquan, Xiayang, Lianshao, Heyang and even Fengyi County, which were the headquarters of Wei Wang Xiao's family in Linjin, Xie Yu believed that he did not have the ability to swallow an elephant.
Xie Yu understood that this was mainly due to sudden changes. King Wei really did not expect that the imperial court would move so quickly.
This was finally discovered when Xie Yu was preparing to regain Xiagui, the fifth county.
After calming down, Xie Yu ordered his troops to gather in Gaoling County, which has a prominent terrain, and at the same time abandoned Pinyang, which was not easy to defend.
When marching and fighting, it is necessary to make ends meet and take surprise. Since it is discovered, it is better than hard power. It is a pity that Xie Yubing has less soldiers.
That is, including the 1,300 prisoners in the death camp and the 2,000 newly recruited soldiers, the total number of troops is less than 7,000.
Since the King of Wei wants to rebel, he can expand his army at will. There is no problem in doubling the number, which would be 40,000.
A hawk's cry from the sky disrupted Xie Yu's thoughts.
Sighing, since they were discovered by King Wei's rebels, King Wei's army would naturally respond.
Looking at the people of Pinyang who had finally managed to persuade them and lived a stable life for more than ten years, the people naturally felt that it was hard to leave their homeland, even though they just moved to the next county first.
But Youdao is worth ten thousand yuan, so his movements are a little slow, which is understandable. It seems that he may have to fight a battle first.
As for how to fight!
The terrain of Pinyang is relatively flat, and it is a strong agricultural county. The reason is that there is a river...
Suddenly, Xie Yu set his sights on the river beach and slowly had a plan in his mind.
Two days later, as the King of Wei who had controlled Feng Yi County for decades, his informants were already distributed throughout Feng Yi County.
Although, because he wanted to occupy Anding, Jingyang, Gaoling and Pinyang counties, part of them was exposed and was liquidated by Xie Yu.
But there is still a large part that has not been exposed. One of them opened a coffin shop, which caught Xie Yu's attention.
Sometimes it's not Xie Yu's resourcefulness that's high, but that he has a lot of experience, stands on the shoulders of giants, and has a broader mind.
In addition, in this aristocratic era, knowledge is basically in the hands of the nobles, and some battle cases and tactics are not widely spread.
It was another policy to lure the snake out of its hole. Xie Yu used the excuse that the rainy season was coming and it would be convenient to retreat.
Imperial troops and local soldiers were sent to assist the evacuated county residents. They collected pebbles on the river beach and scattered them to create a good path to facilitate the retreat.
In fact, every time the Forbidden Army went out for seventeen or eight people, there would be one or two less people who did not return to Pinyang County.
As for the King of Wei, although he was very upset by He Yong's stubborn donkey, he was also aware of the threat from Xie Yu's army.
Soon, with his personal network, he immediately collected information about Xie Yu's army.
A slave rescued by Ling Buyi from the grassland, and the three thousand forbidden troops who originally terrorized Shu.
He secretly exclaimed that Ling Buyi came so quickly, although he felt sorry for the three thousand Wei family troops who were taken care of by Xie Yu.
But now that the incident had begun, King Wei put aside his regrets.
At this time Xiao Shizi came from outside: "Father, give me another five thousand soldiers, and I will definitely be able to break the bones of that old dog. Let's see how hard his bones are."
King Wei: "My son, you are too impatient. Then He Laogou has adopted the strategy of burning both stones and jade, and you are no match for him."
"He Laogou is just telling my father for the time being. My father wants you to do another thing."
Xiao Shizi: "Father, is there anything more important right now than taking care of He Laogou?"
King Wei: "Ling Buyi's slave dog, along with three thousand forbidden troops, has entered Feng Yi County and occupied four of my cities. How annoying!"
Xiao Shizi: "What?"
The King of Wei pointed to the flying pigeon that came from Kyoto to deliver the message, and said, "Son, you can read it yourself."
After reading it, Xiao Shizi knelt down and said: "Father, please leave this man to me. I will definitely avenge Ling Buyi for humiliating me."
"If you can't get rid of Ling Buyi, why can't you get rid of him? A slave."
King Wei: "Son, don't be careless."
Xiao Shizi: "Father, don't worry. My son is in the capital as a hostage. For many years, I have paid special attention to the customs and customs of the capital, especially the imperial army."
"If you dare to steal my city, leave it to me!"
The King of Wei regretted for a moment and left the matter of dealing with Xie Yu's imperial army to Prince Xiao, and raised troops to anger the most jealous general.
But considering what Prince Xiao suffered in the capital, he only had three thousand imperial troops and one slave as general.
In addition, according to the tip, the slave will be busy retreating.
