Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1362 A Big Mouth

After entering Tongguan, Wang Yan can be said to be full of ambitions, because no matter how you look at it, his chances of winning are high.

If Hauge is sensible, he should surrender the land, or flee to the west as soon as possible, but in terms of human nature, who would give up such a good place in Guanzhong easily?Wang Yan reckoned that Hauge didn't have such a high level of consciousness. With his mother-in-law's vacillating personality, he probably wouldn't be so decisive.

Wang Yan was not afraid that Hauge would fight him, what he was worried about was that Hauge would flee to the west, so that he would not be able to solve Jin Guo at once.

"Wang Shixiu beat the newspaper. He has already taken Weinan, and urged the lonely king to quickly send infantry and food and grass there, and then advance to Lintong." At this time, Wang Yan pointed to the sand table and said, suddenly looked up at Zhang Mingzhen and said: "Hou Fu, tomorrow You led the Zhenwu Army to the left and right towns, with 6 people on horseback, escorted grain and grass for a month, rushed to Weinan, and then together with the forward Ma Jun, captured Lintong and monitored Chang'an's movements."

Zhang Mingzhen clasped his fists immediately, "I accept orders!"

At this time Li Guo said: "Jian Guo, is our speed a bit slow? If Hao Ge sees my army entering the customs and has no intention of fighting, then we will give him time to evacuate."

Wang Yan smiled and waved his hands, "The lonely king knows a little about Hauge. He is good at doing things, fighting, and being a human being, but he is a little vacillating in his actions. He should retreat or advance, and he just wants to To do big things. It is okay for him to fight a specific battle, but he does not have any grand strategy and lacks a long-term vision, so he often fails in the end. With his character, it is impossible to give up Guanzhong easily, and he is determined to be reluctant.”

Wang Yan smiled and pointed to the sand table, "Gu deliberately asked Wang Shixiu to lead the forward, because he was afraid that the forward would run too fast and frighten him, making him make up his mind to flee westward. Now the forward has only arrived in Weinan, and there are still nearly two people left in Chang'an." Baili, he is probably still hesitating between fighting and not fighting."

Speaking of this, Wang Yan pointed the wooden stick in the direction of Xining, "When he hesitates like this, Wang Deren's 2 people can go straight to the line of Xining and Lanzhou, cutting off his escape to the west, and the lonely king and the generals can A turtle caught in a urn."

Most of the generals laughed when they heard the words, Wang Yan laughed for a while, and then changed the topic: "But to be honest, Jin Guo's management in Guanzhong is still very good. Over the past ten years, Guanzhong has basically been stable, and the refugees have been organized as tunhu. The resettlement not only restored the people's livelihood in Shaanxi, but also expanded westward to the Western Regions. Jin Kingdom still has some means, especially opening up the land silk road, which made the King look at it differently."

"What is this? My Ming Dynasty can do better than the Kingdom of Jin. When the State of Jian destroys the Kingdom of Jin, we will be able to do more trade with both the Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road." Someone laughed.

The words reached Wang Yan's heart. He had thought about this a long time ago, and he had indeed considered revitalizing the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In the festival hall, talking and laughing for a while, they all thought about what happened after the gold was destroyed.The generals are also very yearning for the Western Regions. It is a place full of mystery, exotic customs and ambitions. There are legends left by Zhang Qian, Ban Gu and other ancestors.

After the fall of the Kingdom of Jin, if you don't find something to do, the status of the army will definitely decline gradually, so the generals are very willing to leave their deeds in that mysterious land.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from far to near, and after a while, Lu Shikui brought in a gust of wind, leading two travel-worn generals in, and prostrated themselves in the festival hall.

The crowd around the sand table heard the movement and looked back, startled, Li Guo couldn't help stepping forward to support Qin Feng, and asked, "Why are you in such a mess?"

It was none other than Tan Tai and Qin Feng who protruded from Lintong. Their blood was already solidified on their robes and armor, and they looked very embarrassed.

Qin Feng pointed to the west, breathless and said: "The striker was ambushed in Lintong, and he will fight to the death."

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. The smile on Wang Yan's face froze, and the wooden pole in his hand fell to the sand table with a slap. He said in astonishment, "Zhong Fu? What's going on?"

The generals who were chatting and laughing in the hall just now were all stunned. The forward [-] cavalry were ambushed. The loss is not big. How many people are left?Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"The governor stationed troops in Weinan. He wanted to wait for Jian Guo to send his infantry to join him. However, the governor Liu got the news that Tang Tong had given up Lintong and fled westward. The governor Liu was worried that the main force of the Jin army would flee westward and leave Chang'an empty, so he asked The commander-in-chief rushed forward, and the army marched to Lintong to monitor Chang'an to prevent Haoge from leaving Chang'an, but he didn't expect that the Jin army had premeditated, and the army was ambushed in Lintong." Tan Tai raised his head and said.

He is the one who charged the horse army, so he can say whatever he wants about this matter, Qin Feng in Zhongyong Town can only lower his head.

After hearing this, Wang Yan understood that the Jin army created the illusion that the army was fleeing westward, deliberately led the forwards forward, and then set up an ambush.

Wang Yan didn't know how Wang Guangtai was progressing and whether he had already reached Xining. What he was most worried about was that before Wang Guangtai cut off the retreat of the Jin army, Hauge had already fled westward. only.

The forward probably thought that the Jin army was fleeing westward, so he rushed forward, trying to contain or cover up the Jin army fleeing westward, so he was ambushed.

The [-] cavalrymen of the Ming army were Wang Yan's main force, and they had spent a lot of energy and money to train the elite. Wang Yan sent them as the vanguard precisely because of their maneuverability.

Now unexpectedly being ambushed, Wang Yan, who was still complacent just now, seemed to have been slapped with two big ears.

"What's the situation now? How about the casualties?" Wang Yan walked up to the two with a livid face.If the [-] cavalry were gone, he would never spare Liu Fangliang and Wang Shixiu.

"Report to the Supervisory Kingdom." Tan Tai replied nervously: "On April [-]th, the army set out from Weinan. At dusk, the army entered Lintong for the night, preparing to continue chasing the Jin army westward after dawn. No, it was five o'clock at night, the army While sleeping soundly, the Jin army divided into four groups and went to each sect. At that time, I was on duty in the east city at night. I was the first to receive a warning from the sentry cavalry, and then immediately notified the governor, who immediately let all the troops break through. However, within a distance of about ten miles, Jin The army rushed to the door with a cup of tea. Most of the people in the city were asleep, and it was okay to organize some people to defend, but it was too late to break through. The main reason why the minister and General Qin were able to rush out was because the Jin army outside the east city detoured from the west to the east. It was delayed, a beat slower than other sects, and the formation was not stable before being killed by the minister."

Speaking of this, Tan Tai paused, "After the attack, Chen and General Qin tried to kill the Jin army outside the city, but less than 5000 people rushed out, and there seemed to be Haoge's Manchu elite cavalry among the Jin army. We fought until dawn, when the cavalry of the Golden Army from other directions rushed over, the ministers had no choice but to retreat first and come back to inform the supervisor."

"You mean that Wang Shixiu and Liu Fangliang are now trapped in Lintong City?" Dai Zhifan asked anxiously when the old subordinate's gutter capsized.

"The brothers in the city were indeed trapped. When Chen and General Qin fought fiercely with the Jin army at the east gate, the brothers in the city also rushed out several times, but they all failed. At dawn, when the minister retreated, Lintong was also closed. The door, no more rushing out."

Dai Zhifan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he turned his head to look at Wang Yan with a sullen face, and saluted: "Jianguo, the forward underestimated the enemy this time, but fortunately they are only trapped in the city, blocked by the city wall, so there should be no safety." problem, the loss should not be large.”

Wang Yanwen also calmed down, the forward was not stolen by the Jin army, and tens of thousands of people were trapped in the city. Although they were aggrieved, the Jin army could do nothing to them, and the loss should not be too great.

After thinking up to this point, Wang Yan said to the two: "Get up."

"Jianguo, Hauge really didn't want to be reconciled, and even played dirty tricks, but it doesn't matter if he traps the Hengchong Majun and Zhongyong Town, if we kill 20 people, what else can he do? ?” General He Zhen asked.

Hearing that he was just trapped, the generals of the Ming army who were taken aback just now calmed down.They leaked out one by one, startling me, and returning the look of the vanguard's entire army being wiped out.

In fact, it wasn't just the vanguard who underestimated the enemy, Wang Yan and the generals in the hall, most of them were a little arrogant and didn't take Jin Jun seriously.This time they were slapped all over the face, and the generals present were a little angry, so angry that they echoed He Zhen and said: "Damn it, our army has already entered the pass, 20 people are stationed in Huayin, and the gold thief is still here!" Those who dare to besiege Lintong simply treat our army as nothing and ignore us."

"Jianguo, the gold thieves are putting bids to sell their heads, and they don't know how to live or die. They didn't run away, but came back to seek death. I thought that they should be fulfilled, so I immediately sent troops to the west to help and kill him."

Many generals in the hall also felt that they had lost face and called for a fight one after another. The gold thief was against the sky, and dared to ambush 20 forwards.

Wang Yan frowned, as if he wanted to lead the army to charge and see how Hauge would deal with him.

But Dai Zhifan waved his hands, "Quiet." Then he cupped his hands to Wang Yan and said, "Jianguo, I think something is wrong, I'd better straighten things out first, and then enter the army before it's too late!"
