Five hundred and thirtieth IX lessons from the past
The Sui army captured at least tens of thousands of prisoners in the pursuit battle, with a huge base. Of course, Renguo selected 300 soldiers who were originally directly tied to him, many of them were Xue Renguo's direct personal soldiers, Chen Sangliang was also.
He kept his word and not only returned their war horses, but also took out the best weapons and armor to arm them to his teeth, and asked them to escort Xue Renguo, who was also fully armed, to pursue Xue Renyue's army.
In order to facilitate management, Xue Renguo temporarily appointed three old soldiers as brigade commanders. One of them was Xue Liu, who was a servant from Xue Ju. He was quite familiar with Xue Renguo. He had just left the surveillance of the Sui army soldiers. Xue Liu was the only one who had left the surveillance of the Sui army.
Asked Xue Renguo, "Crown Prince, are you really planning to recruit His Highness King Jin and others for the official army? Or do you want to take the opportunity to escape? Your Majesty was unfortunately captured. You are the prince. When you return to our army, our army should be
Everyone is following your command, but now His Highness King Jin is in charge of the troops, can he still honestly hand over the military power to you?"
Xue Renguo hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Go back first, let me think about it carefully on the road."
After saying that, Xue Renguo rode forward and quickly chased her second brother who was on the way to escape. She was extremely hesitant and shaken, and said to herself: "What should I do? Should I really recruit Chen Yingliang to surrender my second brother? Or should I take the opportunity to escape? I took the opportunity to
After getting out, what should he do if his father is gone? Also, what should I do if my second brother refuses to obey my command?"
Of course, it is not surprising that Xue Renguo has such thoughts. One way is to be a prisoner with an unpredictable future, and the other way is to take the opportunity to escape and inherit the throne. Individuals will hesitate and shake. However, compared with the second brother Xue Renyue, Xue Renguo is still easy to choose.
The next morning, when the rear army reported the news of Xue Renguo's return to Xue Renyue, he had already emptied the army's food and grass in Zhelicheng, and was continuing to retreat westward. Xue Renyue was shocked and immediately discovered this.
Something has become extremely difficult to deal with.
"Brother is actually back? What should I do?" Xue Renyue thought to himself and said to himself: "Has he been captured alive by Chen Yingliang's traitor? How did he come back? What did he do when he came back? Should he surrender to our army for Chen Yingliang's traitor, or come and have a good relationship with
I rob the military power and rob the position of commander? What should I do if he asks me to hand over the military power and admits that he will inherit the throne of father?”
The civil and military officials next to Xue Jujun were also looking at each other. They did not expect that Xue Renguo, who had been captured alive by the Sui army, could come back. They didn't know what Xue Renguo was planning to do when she came back, and they didn't know that once Xue Renguo competed for power with the Xue Renyue brothers, she should
Standing on that side, but of course there were also choices immediately. Xue Renyue's confidants immediately came to his ear and whispered: "Your Highness, if the prince came to ask for military power, he would never give it to him!
The army is something you have finally saved, and you can’t be cheaper than others.”
Xue Renyue nodded subconsciously and then ordered the lead of his brother to meet him. At the same time, for the sake of caution, Xue Renyue immediately ordered the central army to be on guard directly, and also asked the personal soldiers to prepare for combat. Xue Jujun and the civil and military officials beside him watched.
There was no words in my eyes.
As a result, the reunion of brothers after many days naturally changed. When Xue Renguo led 300 cavalry to the near future, the central army directly controlled by Xue Renyue also tried to stop Xue Renguo's subordinates from approaching. However, Xue Renguo was just scheming and straightforward, and was not a fool.
Seeing that the second brother's central army was already on guard, Xue Renguo was stunned and left her entourage to come forward alone. Not only did she not listen, she also kicked Xue Renyue's subordinate who was blocking her, and scolded: "Bold! I am
In the current crown prince, who are you? How dare you stop me?"
After kicking away the blocker, Xue Renguo asked his cavalry to form a font-shaped charge formation, and then led them forward. Xue Renyue also knew his brother's ability to fight cavalry warfare, so he quickly let the infantry go forward to intercept.
It was quite rational to explain that there was no personal order from him, and no one could shoot arrows to attack. The two brothers each had their own ulterior motives and were careful to be careful. They stood still fifty steps apart, and then saluted each other. Xue Renguo asked unceremoniously
He said: "Second brother, what do you mean? Why do you have to let your subordinates arrange the battle formations? What do you want to do?"
Xue Renyue refused to answer and asked loudly: "Brother, weren't you captured by Chen Yingliang's traitor alive on the battlefield? Why are you back? How did you come back?"
"I am..." Xue Renguo changed her mind and said, "It was my father who sent me back. My father asked me to come back to take over the army. Second brother, thank you for your hard work, you led the army to retreat here. Now you
You can hand over the military power to me. Don't worry, I will not treat you badly in the future."
Xue Renguo left enough room for what he said. As long as Xue Renyue was obedient and handed over military power to avoid division of the army, Xue Renguo could discuss with him carefully whether to accept Chen Sangliang's surrender, or to lead the army to withdraw to Tianshui and find a way to save him.
Back to Xue Ju. But it’s a pity that once a good thing like military power is in hand, it’s not that no one is willing to hand it over again. Once he takes the position of boss, no one is willing to be a younger brother anymore, so Xue Renyue even thinks about it.
Unexpectedly, he immediately asked, "Why? Why do I give you the military power? My father sent you back to take over the army. My father is now controlled by Chen Yingliang's traitor. How can he issue an order? Even if my father has such orders
, How can we prove that this decree was not promulgated by Chen Yingliang?"
Xue Renguo, who was not very good at debate, was speechless by his younger brother's series of questions. After a moment of calculation, Xue Renguo could only change his words again and said, "I am the prince! The prince he personally granted when his father ascended the throne and became emperor.
Now that my father is unfortunately captured by the enemy, I should take over the army!"
"Brother, it's true that you are the prince. If a father has an accident, you should take over the army." Xue Renyue nodded and said loudly: "But you were also captured alive by the thief army and became a prisoner of the thief army.
Now you suddenly ran back for no reason and brought the army back. If you don’t explain clearly how you came back, what you are going to do when you come back, how can I dare to give you the military power with confidence? Brother, now I’ll ask me
Tell me, how did you come back? What are you going to do when you come back?"
Xue Renguo, who planned to obtain military power first and then decide whether to surrender to Chen Sangliang, was extremely embarrassed. Xue Jujun and other civil and military officials there all helped Xue Renyue. Zong Luohu, who was in power among Xue Jujun, also asked loudly: "Your Highness,"
How did you come back? We all know that you were captured, and we have been trying to find ways to save you and Your Majesty, but now you are back for no reason and are still coming back with some troops. You must at least tell me
Let’s see why?”
But after being forced, Xue Renguo could only hesitate and replied: "I was released by Chen Yingliang. I brought these soldiers, and they were all released by Chen Yingliang."
"Chen Yingliang let you come back?" Zong Luohu and others were shocked and asked quickly: "Your Highness, why did Chen Yingliang let you come back? What is the purpose of him let you back?"
"He..., he sent me to surrender you." Xue Renguo finally chose to tell the truth, and then quickly added: "But I just..."
"Okay!" Xue Renyue's laughter interrupted Xue Renguo's explanation and said loudly: "Everyone, have you heard it? His Highness the Crown Prince came to surrender us for Chen Yingliang's traitor. Chen Yingliang's traitor killed thousands of our Qin soldiers and captured them.
My father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin, has a terrible vengeance with our Great Qin. His Royal Highness not only does not want to take revenge, but also surrenders to his enemies, and also wants to surrender to Chen Yingliang's traitor! We still recognize His Royal Highness such a crown prince.
?”
"Don't admit it! Don't admit it!" Xue Renyue's confidant and direct descendants shouted, because they were in front of Xue Renyue's central army, so there were so many such shouts, and Zong Luohu, who were not under Xue Renyue's direct subordinates, Zhai Changsun and others, were all there.
Shut up and refuse to stand in line - in such matters, Zong Luohu and others really cannot stand in line casually.
"I don't want to surrender!" Xue Renguo shouted out his heart and defended loudly: "The reason I was captured was because I was surrounded by my father and I. My father ordered me to put down my weapons and surrender. I had no choice but to be a prisoner!"
"Brother, what are you going to do now?" Xue Renyue beat the snake and asked loudly, "Do you want to take the opportunity to escape, or do you really want to surrender us for the traitor Chen Yingliang? If you just want to take the opportunity to escape,
Well, if you put down your weapons and follow me now, then you will still be my brother. When we return to Tianshui, we will discuss other things slowly. If you want to surrender to Chen Yingliang's traitor, then you can't speak out.
For the sake of brotherly love, I let you leave, but I want me to put down my weapons and surrender to my enemies, you dream!”
"Yes, Your Highness, you just say it directly, what do you want to do?" Zhang Gui, a general who is already obviously inclined to Xue Renyue, also said: "If you just deceive Chen Yingliang's trust and take the opportunity to escape, of course we will admit it.
You are our prince, but now you have to put down your weapons first, and hand over the entourages who may have hidden Chen Yingliang's traitors to His Highness King Jin to identify them, and return to Tianshui with us and slowly discuss other things."
Gui took the lead, and other Xue Jujun, who was not Xue Renyue's direct line, also had several civil and military officials who agreed and kindly persuaded Xue Renguo to put down his weapons temporarily and withdraw to Tianshui with Xue Renyue first. Xue Renguo was also a little shaken for a while, but Xue Renguo's confidant Xue Liu immediately got together.
Come up and whispered, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, be careful, if you put down your weapons and go with King Jin, you may not have the chance to return to Tianshui. In order to please King Jin, some people will not let you return to Tianshui and King Jin smoothly.
Your Highness is competing for the throne."
Xue Liu's words reminded Xue Renguo, which made Xue Renguo suddenly think of a fatal problem - if his younger brother was determined to fight for the throne, he would definitely not let himself return to Tianshui smoothly. Once he put down his weapons, it would be
Just send your neck under your younger brother’s knife!
Thinking about this, Xue Renguo made up his mind after a little more calculation, and then said loudly: "Second brother, you are right! Yes, I am here to surrender you for Prime Minister Chen of the Great Sui Dynasty. The father and emperor are also here.
I agree! Dear generals, lords, and all the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. Our Qin court is no longer able to do it and is no longer a match for the Great Sui army. The Great Sui army is chasing us from behind. We have no chance to escape back to Tianshui, only
Let go of our weapons and surrender, our way out! Don’t worry….”
"Stop!" Xue Renyue interrupted his brother again and sneered loudly: "Brother, your fox tail is finally revealed. I didn't expect that you are so greedy and afraid of death. In order to beg for a life, you actually shook your tail and beg for mercy at the traitor Chen Yingliang, asking us for mercy.
The Qin army follows you to surrender to your enemies! You dream! I won’t follow you, and no one will follow you!"
"Zong Luohu! Chu Liang! Liang Lisu! Zhai Changsun!" Xue Renguo pointed the names of several important officials of Xue Jujun's civil and military affairs in one breath, and said loudly: "Go back with me to surrender to the Prime Minister of the Great Sui Dynasty. This is the will of my father,
It is also the order of my prince. Do you listen to it?! Don't worry, Prime Minister Chen is famous for being generous and even Chai Shao who almost forced him to death. If you go back with me, Prime Minister Chen will definitely treat you unfairly.
I can't do you!"
Xue Renguo has a bad temper and straightforward temper, and is not in harmony with many civil and military generals of Xue Jujun, but he has a good relationship with Zong Luohu, the important minister of Xue Jujun. So after listening to Xue Renguo's call, Zong Luohu did not respond, but did not refuse. At the same time, Chu Liang
Two important civil officials and Zhai Changsun also made no statements for various reasons. However, Liang Lisu, who was born as a chief of the Qiang people, immediately cursed and refused, "Stop talking! Xue Renguo is a man, you think I am as greedy as you, Chen Yingliang
A man killed so many of my tribes and asked me to surrender to him! Dreaming!"
"Arrow team, get ready!" Xue Renyue took the opportunity to order, first ordering his central army to raise the bow and arrow at Xue Renguo, and shouting: "Xue Renguo is a man! Get out of here! If you don't get out, I will order the arrow to be fired!
”
A personal soldier had long protected Xue Renguo with his shield, but after Xue Renguo had roughly observed the surrounding situation, he found that most of the second brother's direct troops were nearby, so he immediately made a smart choice and immediately ordered to leave and take Chen Sangliang to see him off.
The three hundred guards he gave him retreated from his way, and Xue Renyue breathed a little relieved and quickly ordered the army to move forward faster and get rid of the Sui army's pursuit as soon as possible. However, soon, Xue Renyue regretted not killing his brother immediately.
The reason why Xue Renyue regretted was that after Xue Renguo retreated to the back army, he suddenly charged forward and attacked Xue Renyue's rear general Zhang Xi. Zhang Xi was caught off guard and was taken down by Xue Renguo. Then Xue Renguo immediately asked Zhang Xi to be loyal to him and lead the army to accept it.
With his own command, Zhang Xi was Xue Renguo's former subordinate without hesitation and immediately agreed to accept Xue Renguo's order. Then Xue Renguo first loudly announced that he had surrendered to Chen Sangliang, demanding that Zhang Xijun surrender with him, and immediately ordered Zhang Xi.
The army raided Xue Renyue's central army and promised that once Xue Renyue's head was taken, they would immediately reward three hundred taels of gold and three beautiful women. Zhang Xijun obeyed the order and actually launched an attack on Xue Renyue's central army not far ahead.
While Xue Renyue was furious, he led his army to fight, a brotherly melee began. Although Zhang Zhijun had a small number and had no morale and fighting spirit, he could not be the opponent of Xue Renyue's central army, but Xue Jujun was in chaos and dressed in the same uniform and
The soldiers of Xue Ju, who were holding the same military flag, were unable to distinguish between each other. Even if the soldiers of Xue Ju were not rebellious, there were quite a few of them who died in their own companions, and they were very happy to kill their own people.
Xue Renguo's ruthless move was still behind. Taking advantage of the opportunity of chaos on the battlefield, Xue Renguo took the three loyal to him when he got the opportunity. The follower went roundaboutly and ran to the front army by detour, shouting loudly, asking his old troops to return to the army, and walked there
The Xue Jujun in front was the main force of Xue Jujun who was defeated and retreated at Tingkou the day before yesterday. A lot of them were Xue Renguo's old soldiers. When they heard the call of the old master, they subconsciously returned to the team. Many generals directly under Xue Ju also ran to Xue Renguo.
Inquiring about the situation in front of him, Xue Renguo took the opportunity to disclose that his father had surrendered to Chen Sangliang, and asked his old subordinates to follow him to capture the unfilial brother Xue Renyue who refused to surrender, and join him in Chen Sangliang's command to enjoy wealth and glory.
As a result, Xue Renyue's front army was naturally in chaos. Although most of the Xue Ju soldiers would find it difficult to accept this cruel fact for a while, a considerable number of Xue Ju soldiers followed Xue Renguo and led by Xue Renguo.
Xue Renyue's central army launched an attack, causing Xue Renguo's central army to be in chaos, killing each other in the dark, and the generals took the opportunity to wrap up the gold, silver and jewelry transported by the front army. Some Xue Ju generals who had already been shaken also took the opportunity to rebel.
He shouted the slogan of surrendering with the order to attack Xue Renyue's direct descendants, and many people were greedy for rewards and rushed to Xue Renyue's commanding flag.
Under such circumstances, when the Sui cavalry who were fast-moving horses arrived at the scene, Xue Renyue's army naturally had no strength to fight back. They threw down their weapons and kneeled down to surrender. The generals and soldiers who refused to surrender fled.
The Sui cavalry didn't even need to chop the sabers, and they rushed directly to Xue Renyue's central army, and under the guidance of countless leaders, she chased Xue Renyue's butt, making Xue Renyue want to escape.
They were all in trouble, and they could only be like gambling luck to follow my father and flee to the dense forests south. Zong Luohu, Chu Liang, Zhai Changsun and others, who had already been shaken, did not hesitate at all and made a quick decision.
He chose to lead the crowd to surrender.
In fact, the most pitiful thing is Yu Wen Xin, the messenger sent by the Li brothers, who even had no war horses and could not escape quickly. Yesterday, I just saw the hope of using the remnants of Xue Ju's army to restrain Chen Sangliang's western front. Today, this hope was immediately passed by Xue.
The brothers and feet were smashed to pieces. After repeated blows, the disheartened Yuwen Xin simply ran away too lazy and climbed onto a baggage truck that was even robbed of a donkey, sitting on the roof of the cart.
Avoid being trampled to death by the rioters, and waiting for the great-grandson and subordinates of a small county duke to capture him as a famous family alive. He felt very bitter.
You can see most of the battlefield situation on the roof of the car. You can see the soldiers of Xue Ju who are wearing the same military uniform and wearing the same military flag and kill each other. You will also hear the slogan of Xue Ju soldiers capturing Xue Renyue alive one after another. You will also think of the current situation of the Taiyuan Army.
Yuwen Xin was sad and sad, and he came from his heart. He turned to look at the direction of Taiyuan in the northeast, and choked with tears and said, "Three young men, the car has learned from the previous car, and your mistakes are not far away. I hope you can recite it.
When it comes to brotherhood, don’t just focus on brotherhood and fight against strong enemies.”
"Work together?" Muttered as he read this word, he remembered the precious sons Li Yuan gave birth to more jackals and tigers. Yuwen Xin burst into tears again and said to himself: "I'd better take the opportunity to sleep early, just look for a chance to sleep.
Chapter completed!
