Section 20 Under the Fenzhou City
Nian Han thought for a moment: "Why should I be hung by Hu Yangeng? Why should I lead the army to take Lunde directly? Loushi, you lead the headquarters to follow the west road." Without waiting for Loushi to reply, Nian Han said: "Si Gong, I think that it is all the Hei Shui lineage. I will spare you this time. Click on the headquarters and I will give you two thousand surrendered soldiers from the Pingding Army. You are the vanguard and drive directly to Longde. If you meet the Southern Barbarian again, you will stalemate with him and wait for my army to arrive."
Nianhan said to Loushi again: "I'll take Fenzhou first, then go to Pingyang. Then turn east and meet me in Longde." Loushi took the order and checked the troops on that day. He led 10,000 people to set off early the next morning and headed straight for Fenzhou.
The city of Fenzhou was in a mess, with the city gates closed, and the chaotic troops gathered at the city, lying or sitting, and another group of chaotic soldiers crowded at the city, shouting loudly to the city, asking to open the city and enter the city to recuperate. Some people were naked and wearing leather armor, huddled into a group. Most of the wounded soldiers lay motionless.
Not far from the city gate, there was a village with a large flag on the gate, hanging the word "Zhang". Inside the village, a general sat in the main seat, and Li Bozong, deputy envoy of Hedong Transportation, sat on the top.
"Li Yun, deputy director of the royal family, admires the ideological and political work, please drink this cup." This general who persuaded him to drink was the commander-in-chief Zhang Sizheng.
Li Bozong said: "I am ordered by Zhang Jiecha and ask General Zhang to enter the city as soon as possible to discuss how to place wounded soldiers. The cold winter of the 29th century is really undespite, so please let the Lord enter the city as soon as possible." Zhang Jiecha is Zhang Hao, the commander of Xihe Visiting.
"Zhang Jiezhai only needs to open the city gate and let the children enter the city, so why not make noise?"
In another time and space, after the defeat of Guozha, Zhang Hao was led by Zhang Sizheng to enslave the defeated soldiers into Fenzhou. Zhang Sizheng condoned the defeated soldiers and looted all the soldiers and left, but left the seriously injured and unable to leave in Fenzhou. Then the Jin soldiers came, and Zhang Hao had no soldiers or generals under him, so he had to abandon the city and leave. The governor Zhang Kejian died in the city.
In this time and space, the situation changed slightly. Puliru Bosheng was ordered by Hu Yangeng to lead a thousand soldiers to Fenzhou first. As soon as Puliru Bosheng arrived in Fenzhou, he presented a strategy to Zhang Kejian. Zhang Kejian was a civil servant. When he saw Puliru Bosheng, he was led as the pillar of the sky and followed his advice.
After Zhang Hao arrived, Puliu Bosheng first welcomed Zhang Hao into Fenzhou, and then locked Zhang Sizheng under the city.
Li Bozong could not persuade Zhang Sizheng, so he had to go back to the city to report his life first.
Zhang Hao summoned Puliu Bosheng to discuss: "What should I do if the general of Ru, Zhang Sizheng refused to obey orders? In my opinion, let him lead his troops into the city. If he locked tens of thousands of Erlang outside the city and killed him like this, the emperor would definitely pursue my fault. My father was held by the Jin people in Taiyuan, and my family's saints have been lost..."
Puliu Ru Bosheng thought to himself, tens of thousands of people rushed into the city, how could I suppress it? When he moved his heart, he bowed to Zhang Hao: "I will also ask for a military order from the visitor, and the last general will go to General Zhang for another visit."
After hearing the content of the military order, Zhang Hao couldn't help but hesitate. Puliu Ru Bosheng said: "As long as the investigation is stated, the crime of dispersion will not be investigated, the rest of the matter will be decided by the family." Zhang Hao then agreed.
Puluru Bosheng was covered in his body, carrying a painting halberd of heaven to urge his horse out of the city. The defeated soldiers around the door watched the city gate open, and they wanted to squeeze in in a mess. Puluru Bosheng waved his long halberd and drove them away: "When the Sa family takes the order of General Zhang, let you enter the city."
These defeated soldiers did not dare to rush to the city gate, but were unwilling to leave. They surrounded Puluru Bosheng and walked slowly towards Zhang Sizheng's camp.
Seeing that it was close to the village, Puluru Bosheng said, "Go and invite General Zhang, and then say that Zhang's envoy would ask the general to lead troops into the city. Go quickly, if you are happy when you meet the general, you will still be rewarded."
The defeated soldiers, who saw the opportunity, hurried to the camp to report.
It was also because Zhang Sizheng had no rules. These defeated soldiers greeted their personal soldiers at the door and rushed in.
Puliru Bosheng continued to walk forward slowly. At this time, he heard a shout from the big village. Zhang Sizheng took several personal soldiers, holding horse whips, and drove the soldiers out cursing. Puliru Bosheng was only thirty steps away from Zhang Sizheng, and could hear Zhang Sizheng's scolding clearly. He didn't say much, and immediately whipped a few whips to urge the horses. The horses were running faster and faster. The defeated soldiers along the way avoided one after another. The distance of thirty steps passed in an instant. Zhang Sizheng had already realized something was wrong and raised the whip in his hand to ask. Puliru Bosheng had already arrived near and stabbed a halberd, hitting Zhang Sizheng's heart.
The bystanders were dumbfounded. Puluru Bosheng raised the military order and shouted to Zhang Sizheng's personal soldiers: "Zhang Jiejian has an order, and the rest are all forgiven. Do you still have to resist the order?"
Several personal soldiers were booing each other, and Pulu Bosheng shouted again, asking them to abandon their swords, and roared like thunder. The personal soldiers threw the swords to the ground like conditioned reflex.
Puliuru Bosheng said to the people around him: "Very good. Now you are all obedients. Each of them goes to find ten subordinates and line up at the city gate. The city will soon deliver food and enter the city one by one after dinner."
Hu Yangeng returned to the Fajiushan Camp with his grain escort Wang Mancang and half a commander of about 300 people. This big village with tens of thousands of people is very cold at the moment. In addition to Zhao Bozhen and Zhang Yanju, there are only more than 20 regular soldiers and more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers. The guard on the mountain is Hu Yangeng's confidant, one of the three personal soldiers who broke through Hu Yangeng from Taiyuan.
Zhang Chan's master and servant were not on the mountain. After asking, he realized that the situation was slowing down and the two returned to the Chang's house in Longde Mansion.
"Oh, confused." Hu Yangeng stomped his feet and said. He had no time to blame his wife. Hu Yangeng issued a general order to stop all the mountains and take away all the food and grass. Try to load the others as much as possible. Those who cannot be taken away are piled up with firewood and burn them when they leave.
Hu Yangeng came to Longde Mansion when he left Hu Yangeng. In the evening, the city gate was closed and the diligent dou was stern. Hu Yangeng shouted for a long time before he put down the hanging basket in the city and hung Hu Yangeng up one by one.
He handed over the weapons and armor at the top of the city, and was escorted to the coach's mansion by a team of ten people. He first saw Wang Bing, the commander of the Hedong Marshal, and then returned the weapons.
"Hu Yangeng has met the Jieshou."
"Shukang is coming soon, why are you riding back alone today? What's wrong with it?"
"There is no change. It's just that the Ailanhe tribe who wiped out the Jin thieves, and got the head of the Ailanhe practice room." Hu Yangeng reported the war to Wang Biao, while secretly complaining about Zhang Chan. If he was on the mountain, Hu Yangeng would take his people away. When he entered the city, he would not know how many rumors would cause in the city.
After hearing Hu Yangeng's statement, Wang Bing smiled: "The Jin thief is coming to surround Longde. As early as Zhang Anfu and I have to take your wife outside the city, it is also the beginning of your marriage. I will definitely not allow it. But the soldiers are very fast. You can go to Zhang's mansion and take your wife out of the city. I will give you a handwritten warrant and show it to the gatekeeper. Don't make any noise, but it will cause trouble."
Hu Yangeng thanked him and left. Wang Bing looked at the door opened by Hu Yangeng and thought to himself: "Using the old Taiyuan law, 3,000 elite soldiers in Longde City are enough to defend March. Shukang, I just hope that you can judge the situation and make good use of these three months of opportunity. Don't let the only three thousand soldiers left in Longde Mansion and more than 10,000 civilians die in vain."
When Hu Yangeng arrived at Zhang Que's mansion, Zhang Que's housekeeper was also aware of the matter. He quietly welcomed his son-in-law into the door and first met the master. Zhang Que still looked calm: "Son-in-law, I don't know if there is still a day to meet again when I leave this time. I have a letter. If I have the opportunity to meet your brother, I will hand it over to him."
Hu Yangeng received the letter, Zhang Chan and Daijuan had already stopped and sat in a simple car, but Mrs. Zhang did not come out to see her off. Hu Yangeng jumped onto his horse, bowed to his father-in-law, and said, "Let's go." The coachman drove the car and set off.
Relying on Wang Bing's order, Hu Yangeng successfully left the city and returned to Fajiu Mountain overnight.
The next morning, the personal soldiers lit the fire and burned the baggage left on the mountain. Three hundred battle soldiers opened their way, escorted the team and the rear, and led more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers to carry the baggage out in a row.
Zhang Chan's vehicle was tied with wooden boards, not even a window, and a thick black curtain was pulled at the door. The car only followed Hu Yangeng, following like a shadow, but Hu Yangeng did not say a word to the car. He was the only one who brought his family to the whole army. Hu Yangeng was leading the army again, for fear that one would make a mistake and would make people laugh.
The convoy rushed to travel during the day and rested at night. On October 9, he arrived at Shibi Castle. Shibi Castle was located between Pingyang (Linfen) and Longde (Shangdang), close to the slaughter of the water. Hu Yangeng arrived at the fort wall and saw that the fort gate was wide open and no one stood guard on the fort wall. The Song army inside had already fled.
Hu Yangeng ordered the brigade to enter the fort. Fortunately, the houses, stations, wells and gates on both sides of the fort were intact, so the convoy was allowed to stay overnight here. After making a fire and having dinner, Zhang Chan and Daijuan rested in the bedroom of the inn. Hu Yangeng slept outside, and the soldiers and civilians also found a place to sleep. Hu Yangeng did not find it, and on the bank of the Laoshui River, there were several eyes quietly observing the convoy entering the fort.
In the middle of the night, Hu Yangeng was woken up by his personal soldiers on the night. He climbed up the fort wall. The soldiers on duty were about to light the torch. Hu Yangeng quickly shouted, "Rise the fire in the dark, don't die?" Everyone lay on the fort wall, looking at the direction of the water. It was pitch black and there was nothing, but noisy voices came, and people shouted and neighed, as if a large army was coming ashore from the water.
The Jin people were not good at waterways, let alone sailing at night, Khitans, and Bohai people did not have such skills. They walked down the water and seemed to be the only defenders of Pingyang (Linfen). However, did the Pingyang guardian Lin Jiren abandon the city? While he was wondering, he saw black shadows coming towards Shibi Castle.
The black shadows carried the flags and stopped outside the Shibi Castle with an arrow, raised the flags and formed a formation. There were also black shadows constantly pouring out from the water and standing in the formation, and the formation in front of the castle was growing.
"Water Ghost..." A soldier said timidly, his voice trembling.
Hu Yangeng shouted: "Where is there any water ghost? Don't talk nonsense."
