Just after noon, the troops ate some dry food and had not had time to rest.
Suddenly, the south city gate opened, and two light cavalry rushed in, and the city gate hurriedly closed.
Soon, the sound of a big drum from the city tower was heard, and the soldiers around Guo Shao stood up and looked up.
But in the city, only Zhou soldiers were seen walking on the wall, but they didn't know what was going on.
A general in the army said: I'll go to the north city to see you. Please keep your troops safe and be restless and wait for the lord to come back.
Look!Several other generals answered one after another.
At that time, the drums were loud and there seemed to be military information. A group of soldiers were sent to the city to the city, and the atmosphere suddenly became urgent.
But everyone was still calm and did not panic, but there was a rumor in the army.
Isn’t it rumored that only thousands of cavalry came to Khitan soldiers and would never attack the city!I don’t know who revealed the mystery in one word.No wonder everyone in the city looks calm.
I heard another person say: Not to mention thousands of cavalry, even tens of thousands of cavalry may not be able to capture Xinzhou City at any time.
This person is right. It is rumored that the Liao people are not very good at attacking cities and cannot even defend cities.
After the Khitans entered the Hebei region, they could not be considered pure nomadic peoples, but were in a semi-herding and semi-cultivating state. Even animal husbandry was very popular. They learned a lot from farming countries.
However, the Han people are good at operating and playing the military role of cities, and the Liao Kingdom does not seem to pay attention to this.
But this time the Liao army was going to save Jinyang. If they didn’t pull out Xinzhou, how could the road to Jinyang be peaceful?
Since the Five Dynasties, the Liao Kingdom has never given up its attempt to expand southward and embezzle the territory of the Central Plains dynasty, and they did a good job.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun opened the gateway to the core area of the Han people from the eastern front; the western front supported the Northern Han occupying Jinyang, and the entire Hedong area was overlooked from a high-rise building. You can drink the Yellow River when you go south, reaching the heart of the Central Plains.
In the situation, the Liao Kingdom was equivalent to having both feet crossing the threshold of the Central Plains, and occupying all strategic areas, which can attack and retreat or defend.
Therefore, Jinyang is very important to the Liao Kingdom. Even if they are in civil strife, they will gather elite troops to rescue them.
The Zhou Dynasty sent heavy troops to station in Xinzhou with the purpose of blocking the Liao reinforcements and preventing them from threatening the besieged troops in Jinyang.
...Until the afternoon, the general who went to the North City to see the situation came back, and everyone was waiting for him to give back the news.
Because Xiang Xun's army did not obtain the military order from the city defense, the soldiers dared not move and could not see anything when they stayed in the city wall.
During the conversation between the generals, Guo Shao then realized that the returned general was named Zhang Jianxiong.
This person left a deeper impression on Guo Shao, not because of his appearance, but because he was the first person Guo Shao had to talk to after coming to Northern Han.
In Jinyang, he asked where there were so many war horses in the infantry army. He was the one who almost went out to argue when he saw Shi Yanchao killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Zhang Jianxiong said concisely: There was a group of Liao cavalry, and there might be more than a thousand cavalry, and the roaming was wandering around outside the city.The King of Wei ordered the vanguard Shi Yanchao to lead the horse soldiers out of the north gate to fight. Before long, the Khitans could not resist and fled north.Shi Yanchao received the order of King Wei again and followed him to chase him.
A general standing next to him sighed after hearing this: Shi Yanchao is indeed brave!
When Zhang Jianxiong heard this, he shook his face: I think it was probably the Khitan soldiers who deliberately pretended to retreat and lure the enemy, so that Shi Yanchao was underestimated and made this guy fall into the trap!
The general muttered: Didn’t Shi Yanchao pursue him after receiving the order of King Wei?
Zhang Jianxiong blurted out: King Wei is old.
After hearing this, the generals kept silent and were inconvenient to discuss King Wei in public.
After all, Fu Yanqing, the King of Wei, is the commander of various armies in Xinzhou, and has such a high status and prestige. A group of middle and lower-level generals said that he was not right and it was indeed not right.
At this moment, Xiang Xun and Su rode on the north central axis road.
Xiang Xun returned to the army and rolled over from the horse's back and threw the reins in his hand to the follower.
All the generals gathered together.
Xiang Xun first looked back at the north before speaking: Shi Yanchao went out of the battle, chased Xinkou, and ran into the Liao army brigade.King Wei was worried that he would have any mistakes when he was short of troops, so he asked me to lead the troops to support him, and everyone was ready.
Guo Shao, Yang Biao and others were not familiar with Xiang Xun's subordinates and didn't speak much along the way, but they came and went in Xinzhou City and understood what the war and military were going on.At this time, Guo Shao was very puzzled.
The mission goal of King Wei Fu Yanqing is very clear, which is to station in Xinzhou and other places to block the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom to rescue Jinyang; it is usually the best idea to do such things, just passive defense is enough.
Even if the Liao army cannot be defeated, as long as the Liao army works hard to manage defense, there will be no way to deal with Xinzhou.
Anyway, the Liao army wanted to go here, not only worried but also uneasy, which is right... In this case, what is Fu Yanqing's intention to ask Shi Yanchao to take the initiative?
Could it be that when Shi Yanchao won the first battle, King Wei wanted to take the opportunity to capture Xinkou?
Along the way, Xiang Xun kept asking local officials and people for the terrain of Xinzhou. Guo Shao also learned a lot. The Xin and Dai basins are the main roads to enter the Jinyang area in the north, and there are ridges between Xin and Dai and Dai and are difficult to cross. Only there are two traffic channels in front of Xinkou Town that can be passed, and the dangerous holes are like the nostrils that ventilate outside the Xinzhou area.
If the Zhou army occupied Xinkou and sent troops to block the two nearby channels, the Liao army would probably only turn into birds to fly over high mountains and ridges if they wanted to go south.
If you have such a plan, why is Fu Yanqing's main force still doing in Xinzhou?
It should have taken advantage of the fierce general Shi Yanchao's rush forward, and the army covered all the backs and drove the Liao army out of Xin Chuan at all costs... But at present, they are only asking Xiang Xun to respond, and I really can't understand He Xuanji.
Xiang Xun brought two thousand soldiers, but only more than 300 light cavalry could do tough battles.
Such reinforcements will allow Shi Yanchao's striker to fight the Liao army's main force?
Or should I run back quickly with Shi Yanchao... So what should Shi Yanchao chase him out?
For a moment, Guo Shao felt that the tactical strategies of King Wei simply lacked basic logical relationships.
However, it is hard to say that Fu Yanqing's family was a warlord who was crowned kings for three generations. Such high-ranking people should always have extraordinary wisdom. Perhaps some of their foresights are not something that Guo Shao can guess at.
However, it was related to the lives of himself and twenty brothers who had been walking through a long distance. At this time, Guo Shao didn't care much about it. He changed his previous style of knowing the rules and not talking nonsense. He seized the opportunity and asked: General Xiang, should we go back to rescue Shi's Forward, or should we continue fighting with him?
Xiang Xun turned his head and glanced at Guo Shao who was talking, and responded calmly: King Wei didn't say anything.
Guo Shao then asked again without saying a word.
At this moment, Zhang Jianxiong cursed: Damn!Shi Yanchao did not leave any face for his lord, and he became angry when he remembered it!Still asking us to save him?He is so capable, so he can beat the Liao people back alone!
When Guo Shao heard this, he also thought of the incident halfway up the village. Zhang Jianxiong's words said that he would not give face, but he was probably the one he said.
At that time, Shi Yanchao killed the innocent women who were robbed, and Zhang Jianxiong almost came forward, but was later stopped by General Xiang.
At that time, Guo Shao thought that Zhang Jianxiong was a good young man with a sense of sympathy and justice, but now when he heard him scolding Shi Yanchao and not giving Xiang Xun a face, he suddenly realized that Zhang Jianxiong's dissatisfaction was not because of sympathy for those innocent women, but because of his anger at Shi Yanchao's attitude in front of his lord, and stood up for the lord Xiang Xun.
The martial artists of the Five Dynasties probably did not regard the slaughtered women as humans at all.
At that time, when Xiang Xun saw Shi Yanchao, he used the official order to teach Shi Yanchao a lesson, and it was all right.
It is probably difficult for Shi Yanchao to refute the reasonable reason... But Shi Yanchao should not be happy. Why is he taught a lesson by a general he looked down upon?
So Shi Yanchao is not verbally reasonable with you.
Aren't you asking how to deal with it?
According to Xiang Xun's meaning, it should be to let innocent women go and punish riots who do not uphold military discipline.
But Shi Yanchao was very straightforward and killed them all. What can you do to me?
He was not killing people, but he was determined to be unable to get over Xiang Xun in public, and to slap Xiang Xun in the face and exclaimed his anger.
But he had made those innocent women, and did nothing wrong and was chopped off like a prop that vented his anger.
Guo Shao still has some mainstream values of modern people, and of course he does not agree with this kind of practice of ignoring life... But he did not think that it was wise to stand up and fight for right and wrong in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, so he also became an indifferent bystander. The key was that Shi Yanchao didn't know who you were at all, and he was angry. What should he do if he saw you a young general, and he would draw his sword and slash him when he had a disagreement?
Should we be the winner and loser with the most powerful general of the Zhou Dynasty, or should we wait for someone to seek justice for ourselves after being killed?
Besides, in a messy place, there are more than just one tragedy, and it is not something that a mortal can control.
...Everyone was very dissatisfied with Shi Yanchao and cursed Xiang Xun a few words.
At this moment, Xiang Xun raised his hand to stop the generals' discussions and said slowly: Shi Yanchao is a little arrogant, but did he kill us or did something unjust?None!Then why are you idle with him?They are all generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so don’t have to worry about their length for a little bit of things.
Zhang Jianxiong said angrily: I'm afraid we will go to save him, but he doesn't appreciate it. We blame us for being troubled.
Xiang Xun said: Shi Feng is not a person who does not understand his grudges.We must put the overall situation first and do not act irresistibly to ruin the situation.Don’t say anything more, and order all troops to leave the city with light loads!
The generals then calmed down and took the orders one after another.
Guo Shao also asked his people to take the horse and take the weapons and set off.Luo Mengzi asked: Are our things thrown here?Will it be picked up by someone else...
Before Guo Shao could answer, Yang Biao cursed: It seems like he is rich. If you search carefully, how much copper coins are there except for the things on the horse!
Luo Mengzi gave up and muttered: I don’t have any good opinions about Shi Yanchao. It would be better for those women to wait for the scammers to snatch them away. Maybe they can live a better life if they are snatched back by the soldiers.
Yang Biao also said coldly: Shi Yanchao is not a thing.
Suddenly, the south city gate opened, and two light cavalry rushed in, and the city gate hurriedly closed.
Soon, the sound of a big drum from the city tower was heard, and the soldiers around Guo Shao stood up and looked up.
But in the city, only Zhou soldiers were seen walking on the wall, but they didn't know what was going on.
