After a big battle, Guan Sheng and Han Cunbao felt a little sympathetic to each other, and said seriously: "My prince is here, and you have seen his skills. How about you join me in assisting my prince in conquering the world?"
Chao Yong also jumped off his horse, cupped his hands and said: "General Han is very skilled in martial arts. If I, the leader, can get help from General Han, I will be even more powerful, and I will be able to restore peace and prosperity to the people of the world as soon as possible."
Han Cunbao also admired Guan Sheng's martial arts, and Chao Yong's martial arts were even more astonishing. Seeing that the two of them sincerely invited him, he was a little moved. However, thinking that he had received a salary from the Song Dynasty for many years, he still shook his head and said: "Han also admires these two generals very much." Martial arts, but Han is a general of the Song Dynasty. If he commits treason, it would be unfaithful and unfilial, so I would forgive him for not obeying his orders."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "The general is also a hero from the green forest. Now the emperor of the Song Dynasty is fatuous, treacherous officials are in power, and the people are in dire straits. However, I, Daliang, have reduced the wealth to love the people. The general has a righteous plan, and it is a hero's decision to surrender to me, Daliang."
Han Cunbao shook his head and said: "I have been paid by the Song Dynasty for many years, how can I betray you easily? I also know that I am no match for you, and I am willing to die."
Guan Sheng suddenly said: "General Han, can our words still count?"
Han Cunbao was stunned for a moment and said: "As a gentleman, it is difficult to catch up with a horse, so it is natural to count."
Guan Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, then we will decide the winner. When you lose, you will submit to me."
Han Cunbao curled his lips and said, "When I win, I don't want your head, come on."
After saying that, he went straight to Guan Sheng.
I don¡¯t know if the two of them were used to wrestling in the water, but they actually threw themselves together and started wrestling again.
Chao Yong couldn¡¯t help but be stunned when he saw the two kids wrestling.
"drink"
Guan Sheng grabbed Han Cunbao's shoulders and pushed him a few steps.
Han Cunbao's face turned red from suppressing the pain. He stepped back with his right foot, kicked it on the ground, suddenly exerted force, and took a few steps back against Guan Sheng.
The two of them struggled like this for a while, and finally Guan Sheng, relying on his youth and strength, knocked Han Cunbao to the ground.
After all, Han Cunbao was old. After fighting Guan Sheng for so long, he was already exhausted. He lay on the ground, panting heavily.
Guan Sheng stretched out his hand towards Han Cunbao who was underground and gasped: "We will be colleagues from now on."
"Snapped"
Han Cunbao slapped Guan Sheng's hand, held Guan Sheng's hand, used his strength, raised his hand to Chao Yong and said, "See the prince."
Although it is just four simple words, it already explains Han Cunbao's attitude.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I have another strong general in Daliang. I won't say much more. Let's go back quickly, otherwise the two generals will catch the cold."
After the fight, the two of them felt cold all over, so they quickly summoned their horses and walked back with Chao Yong.
When the three of them arrived at the battlefield, there was no fighting on the battlefield. The fast-running Song Dynasty soldiers and horses had disappeared. Only large areas of Song Dynasty prisoners were left kneeling on the ground. Some of the soldiers and horses of the beams surrounded the prisoners, and some formed an array. Guarding the Song Dynasty camp.
When the generals of Daliang saw Chao Yong's arrival, they came together to greet him.
Li Kui couldn¡¯t help laughing when he saw the appearance of Guan Sheng and Han Cunbao.
Everyone was holding back at first, but when Li Kui laughed out loud, they all couldn't help laughing.
Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and said, "General Han will be your colleague from now on, so don't be rude."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone had seen Han Cunbao and Guan Sheng fighting equally, and they were very respectful, and then they met Han Cunbao.
Lin Chong said: "Prince, I am afraid there are still 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses in the Song army camp. Do you want to attack by force?"
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "The soldiers have been fighting for half a day and have become exhausted. The Song army is heavily guarded. The casualties in the attack will be too great. There are many prisoners outside the camp. If we cannot attack for a long time, I am afraid these prisoners will also have alien ideas. Today We have achieved great results in the first battle. We will return to camp and fight again in the future.¡±
Hu Yanzhuo reported: "The Song Army's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have not fled into the camp. If we let them gather the soldiers and horses, the Song Army may be able to gather another 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses and come back."
Chao Yong also suddenly realized: "Then please ask General Hu Yanzhuo and General Hua Rong to lead their troops to continue chasing the Song army. We must make sure that they cannot gather the defeated troops today."
Hu Yanzhuo had an army of 10,000 people under his command, while Hua Rong led an army of 1,000 horses in place of Dong Ping.
The two men immediately led their soldiers and horses around the Song Army camp and swept back.
The remaining generals led their troops and horses to drive the prisoners back to the camp.
In this battle, Daliang captured more than 20,000 Song troops.
Li Congji and the others watched the Liangshan soldiers and horses retreat, and then came to the Chinese army's tent. They saw that Cai You had woken up, and they were relieved. If Cai You dies in battle, then this battle will be useless.Even if the French attack continues, they will not be able to avoid being punished by the imperial court.
Li Congji saw Cai You lying there motionless, and said to the doctor next to him: "Your Majesty's injury is not serious, right?"
The doctor said: "Your Excellency's armor is well-made. After the iron arrow pierced the armor, it did not penetrate deeply into the flesh. It was just the jolt of the war horse when we came back that made the wound bigger. However, it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and the blood loss was not much. It will last for a few days." alright."
Cai You probably fainted from the pain, but of course the doctor did not dare to say this.
"ah"
When Cai You heard that Li Congji and others were coming, he moved. He also wanted to pretend to be a good man, but the pain on his back still made him groan. He didn't dare to move anymore and just turned his head. Lai asked: "Have the Liangshan bandits retreated?"
Li Congji nodded and said, "Retreat."
Cai You breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the camp?"
"More than thirty-seven thousand."
When Li Congji held the camp just now, Li Congji had already asked officers at all levels to count them, but he did not tell them completely. These more than 37,000 people were the soldiers and horses under the command of ten Jiedu envoys. Now it can be said that the organization is in chaos, and the combat effectiveness is probably Not as good as the 20,000 people they organized.
When Cai You heard that these men and horses were the only ones left, his expression changed with fright, and he said, "Then our troops and horses don't have as many bandits as those from Liangshan?"
Li Congji saw the fear on Cai You's face and said hurriedly: "The army has retreated a lot. As long as your Excellency orders the Guangji Army magistrate to gather troops and horses, at least tens of thousands of troops and horses can be gathered back."
Cai You's expression softened slightly, but he continued: "Wouldn't it be faster for us to gather the defeated troops directly? The Guangji Army is still more than two hundred miles away from here. It will take at least two days for them to gather the defeated troops and then come back. ?¡±
Li Congji said helplessly: "Just now, the Liangshan bandits sent another group of troops to cover up the enemy. I am afraid that the defeated army will be driven dozens of miles away, and we will no longer be able to collect the defeated army."
When Cai You heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in shock: "Then we can't gather the defeated troops. What if the Liangshan bandits come to attack in the next two days? How about the whole army withdraw to Guangji Army?" , collected the defeated troops, and came to annihilate the Liangshan bandits. "
Hearing this, Li Congji hurriedly said: "If you withdraw your troops at will without the Holy Spirit's will, I'm afraid the court will punish you."
Zhao Ji paid great attention to this expedition and personally planned the daily marching route for the army. Therefore, Cai You did not slow down the pace of the army. If Cai You hadn't listened to Shi Jiedu's advice and talked to Zhao Ji, the self-righteous Zhao Ji would have drawn up the battle formation plan.
Since the Song Dynasty, the emperor has often given formation plans to the generals who lead the troops. The generals who lead the troops arrive at the designated battlefield and deploy their troops and horses to fight the enemy in accordance with the formations given by the emperor.
But many times the information from the court is inaccurate. Many times when generals arrive at the battlefield, they will find that the terrain of the battlefield cannot be used to deploy troops and horses according to the emperor's formation map. Change the formation, not to mention that ordinary generals do not have the courage to resist orders. , there are often supervisors sent by the emperor among the armies, and most of these supervisors are "dutiful" eunuchs who want to use chicken feathers as command arrows. How could they agree to lead the general to change the formation map given by the emperor without authorization.
So the general could only ignore the terrain and arrange the formation according to the formation diagram given by the emperor, and the result was obvious. It can be said that many defeats were caused by the emperor's formations. Therefore, after arriving in Tokyo in Shijiedu, he explained the pros and cons in detail to Cai You, and asked Cai You to use his holy favor to stop the high-spirited Zhao Ji.
When Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng led troops to conquer Liangshan, they were sent by traitorous ministers, so they were not given any supervisory troops or formation plans. When Gao Qiu led the army, Zhao Ji thought that Gao Qiu could succeed immediately and annihilate the Liangshan bandits, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But this time, Zhao Ji knew that the four bandits were causing trouble, and his Song Dynasty was already in some turmoil, so he had to pay attention, so he carefully planned a marching route for Cai You.
Cai You couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the words. He also knew that Zhao Ji was really angry this time. This time he discussed with the generals of the Privy Council for many days before formulating a route. If he withdrew like this, I'm afraid Zhao Ji would still be there. I really can't spare him.
In the past, they all thought that the world was peaceful. Even if they did something wrong and offended Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji would not really hold them accountable. But now that Zhao Ji knows that his Zhao family's world is unstable, he will definitely not condone them anymore.
Seeing Cai You's hesitation, Li Congji hurriedly said: "Although our army is smaller, as long as we hold on, the Liangshan bandits will not be able to invade. As long as we hold on for a few days, the Guangji army will be able to gather the broken troops to support them, and then reorganize the troops." Ma, it¡¯s not difficult to destroy the Liangshan bandits.¡±
Cai You reluctantly raised his head, stared at Li Congji, and said, "Liangshan bandits really can't attack?"
Li Congji nodded hurriedly and said: "With the help of Dazhai, the Liangshan bandits will never be able to attack."
Cai You was still worried and turned to look at the other three Jiedushi.
The other three people nodded quickly.
They also knew that the emperor was furious that day, frightening all the civil and military officials to the point of peeing. This battle is the first battle for the emperor to wipe out Yu Nei and consolidate the country. If they retreat easily, Cai You may be able to save his life with the emperor's favor, but they are likely to become the emperor's victims. .
The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. Civil servants abandoned the city and fled. Perhaps they were just reprimanded and exiled, but their lives were generally saved. Fang La attacked Hangzhou, and Zhao Ting, the governor of Hangzhou, abandoned the city and fled, but was demoted to the Jiyang Army in the end. However, their military attaches did not receive such good treatment. Once defeated, what awaited them would be endless impeachment by the court officials, and in the end they would most likely end up with their heads dismembered.
Seeing everyone saying this, Cai You nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll leave it to the four generals."
After saying that, he asked his followers to take his token and send an order to the prefect of Guangji Army. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
