In early May, when we heard that the main force of the Khitan soldiers was coming, the Zhou army was placing its lines in the wilderness in the northern part of the Zhuo River, waiting for the effort.
Guo Shao's cavalry was located in the rear army in the middle, and it seemed that he could not participate in the war... because he led not the main force of the cavalry, the first main force of the cavalry was the Iron Cavalry under Zhao Kuangyin; then the squads were the direct.
At that time, Chai Rong rode a horse in the middle, and the generals gathered together temporarily by the emperor.Chai Rong rode around the generals on a high horse and said: The Northern Expedition is here!This victory will capture the land of the secluded clouds.Everyone encourages you!
The generals bid farewell one after another and rode their horses away from the central army and returned to the military camp.
When Guo Shao returned to the army, several generals of the Hujie Army gathered to speak, and he had to say: And wait for the result behind.
After several years of preparation and the vigorous Northern Expedition, it finally came to the most critical step.
But Guo Shao did not need to bear any responsibility in this battle; this kind of field battle was at home for the cavalry, and in the emperor's mind he seemed to be using it to attack the city.
Everyone had to get off the horse and waited in line to save horsepower.
The horse's hooves roared in front, and countless war horses were mobilizing. From a distance, Guo Shao felt as if he had arrived in the African plains and countless wild beasts were migrating.
The sound of fighting came from afar, but I couldn't see where the battlefield was, as if fighting was everywhere in the north.
In the afternoon, countless wounded soldiers, chariots and horses were transported back from the main road, and the battle situation should be very tragic.
The large cavalry near the central army did not move all day. In the evening, Guo Shao received an order and the various routes were approaching the Zhuo River to camp.
That night, he and other generals arrived at the Central Army camp again. Two generals were injured. One of them was wrapped in white cloth with colorful clothes on his arm. It should be Zhang Guanghan, the commander of the left wing of Long Jie Army, and Guo Shao was not familiar with him.
Zhang Yongde made a statement: In today's battle, the Liao army's strength is still there, and the two wings attack our army at the same time. Advance and retreat are in moderation, and there is no way to take advantage of the situation... The Liao army has more cavalry than us, and it may not be better if we continue to fight for a long time.
Zhao Kuangyin and others had no intention of fighting, and everyone did not rush to fight, and the morale could be seen from the atmosphere.
Chai Rong's face was very bad, as if he was angry.He blamed the generals for not having to take any life and wanted to lead the cavalry to fight tomorrow.Shi Yanchao immediately asked to fight against the striker, and Chai Rong followed his request.
The next morning, the two armies fought again.
Shi Yanchao led the cavalry from the middle road to attack into the Liao army formation, and rushed into the enemy camp. He saw that the Liao cavalry on the plains were like a vast ocean. The Liao army's front army could not block Shi Yanchao, so he detoured and cut off his retreat.
Most of the Zhou army's Iron Cavalry, Crane Control Army, and Long Jie Army were forced to take the initiative from the left and right wings to prevent Shi Yanchao's troops from falling into the siege and rush back and forth until dusk.
In the end, Shi Yanchao's subordinates lost more than half of their subordinates, almost losing their combat effectiveness and returning in vain.
That night, Guo Shao and other generals were summoned to the Central Army camp. Chai Rong's expression was already very depressed, and it was difficult to describe his expression... It seemed that he had grown ten years old all of a sudden.
Chai Rong made a quick decision and ordered the Later Army to retreat to Zhuoshui South tomorrow morning.
He also ordered Guo Shao and Zhang Guanghan's troops to return to Zhuozhou and Gu'an and deploy defense along the Zhuo River coast; he asked them to support the army and block the Liao army's pursuit.
The situation is already very bad. It seems that the Great Zhou and the Liao army are not asking for anything in the decisive battle, and there is no hope of winning... Otherwise, with Chai Rong's mood, he would definitely not be willing to give up.
The next morning, Guo Shao joined Zhang Guanghan, the left-wing chief of Long Jie Army, and took the lead in leaving the battlefield, crossing the Zhuo River directly, leading his army to build camps on the river bank, and lined up to deploy troops to wait.
As expected, it was in the evening of that day.
Suddenly, groups of horse soldiers rushed from the wilderness to the north, which was the main retreating force of the Zhou army.
The Zhou army seemed to be taking advantage of the fact that the Liao army retreated and took the opportunity to leave the battlefield... They were all soldiers riding horses, and the supplies and vehicles were missing, so most of them were probably thrown away.
……
After the various armies crossed the Zhuo River, the river bank had elite troops stationed in the Guards' Office, and their troops were slightly safe.The troops stationed all over the Zhuo River Bank, and the camps continued to Qigou Pass.
When they retreated and fled in a hurry, the troops caused chaos and the morale among the troops was depressed for a while.However, the Zhou Dynasty did not suffer any losses. It occupied a lot of places and the main force did not suffer any major losses.
That night, I didn't hear any news of the Liao army pursuing troops.It was getting late, and the generals ordered camping on the spot to rest to avoid greater chaos due to poor light.
In the Iron Cavalry Central Army's tent, Zhao Kuangyin asked the generals to return to their subordinates.
The staff member Zhao Pu did not leave, and sat on one side without saying a word, as if there was something to say between his expressions.
Kuangyin then stepped back and talked with him at night.
It is a pity for the Northern Expedition. It is not a fault for not working hard. There is really no good opportunity to make a breakthrough.Zhao Kuangyin spoke first.
Zhao Pu said in a deep voice: Your lord is not the time to take charge of the Northern Expedition... It is already difficult for the official family to ride a horse today. Only by enduring it can you get through the Zhuo River.
At that time, Zhao Kuangyin and others were not around the emperor, and they couldn't help but sigh in doubt.
Zhao Pu said: After the troops passed the Zhuo River, they were afraid that the Liao army would come to chase them all night, so they tried their best to run south.But the official stopped on the river bank, and I guess I just couldn't run...
Zhao Kuangyin had no words.
Guo Shao and the Zhao family have become deeply enmity. He is the queen Fu's family and married the queen's sister. Therefore, Queen Fu and the lord are not from the same place.Zhao Pu whispered, his head wearing a shining head was shining by the candle, and the shadows were cast on the tent. Under the dim light, it seemed like a ghost was shaking, and the atmosphere was very gloomy.
He continued: The lord is a general in charge of the military commander of the Palace Front and must not be trusted by the queen.The situation in the future is in danger and must be observed.
Zhao Kuangyin still remained silent. Zhao Pu didn't need to say these joints, and he had already understood them.But there was nothing to do with the other party for a moment.
At this moment, Zhao Pu said: I have a plan.Didn’t Guo Shao lead the Hu Jie Army to guard the Zhuo River on the left wing?The lord can join the clerk's family and let Guo Shao stay in Zhuozhou to guard the town of Zhuozhou on the grounds of occupying the bridgehead north of the Juma River and not let him return to Beijing.
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he immediately became interested. He didn't say anything just now and immediately said: There is no danger in Zhuozhou, so I won't be able to defend it for a long time.
Zhao Pudao: The strength of the Zhou army has not been greatly reduced, and the war has not lasted for too long.I guess the official family is still unwilling to accept it, but the army is not willing to fight now and will not continue the Northern Expedition for the time being... But he must still be thinking about Youzhou in his heart.
The lord can make a suggestion. Let’s retreat for the time being and wait for our imperial guards to rest for a while, and choose another good opportunity to advance north for the second time.The officials will definitely be very happy to hear that their lord supports his Northern Expedition!At this time, you said that Zhuozhou can be defended first, which can directly threaten Youzhou and reduce the troubles of the second Northern Expedition.Most officials will listen to you.
Zhao Pu's voice became smaller and smaller, and he whispered: The one that the queen was blocked by the imperial guards was Guo Shao, who married the Fu family.As long as Guo Shao is not in Tokyo, the situation will be beneficial and harmless to us; no matter what we plan to do in the future, we must be much more calm.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, and suddenly felt that Zhao Pu had a good idea... This method has a very low cost and almost no need to take risks; it can also remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, which is indeed a clever plan!
The staff said nothing wrong. Before, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde advised the emperor not to advance rashly, in order to cherish the military strength of the Zhou Dynasty, but it was difficult for the emperor to persuade the Northern Expedition to be devoted to the Northern Expedition. This time, if he expressed his attitude to support the Second Northern Expedition, his generals would make such a statement, the emperor would definitely be happy.
Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and felt that this plan was easy to succeed and feasible.At that moment, I couldn't help but brush Zhao Pu's back and said kindly: I lost a brother, but I often treat you as a brother.
Guo Shao's cavalry was located in the rear army in the middle, and it seemed that he could not participate in the war... because he led not the main force of the cavalry, the first main force of the cavalry was the Iron Cavalry under Zhao Kuangyin; then the squads were the direct.
