Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth Han capture tiger and He Ruobi
Several Song army generals captured by Han Qinhu General and thousands of Song soldiers were tied up in five ways. They went to Lu County, broke straight into Chai Rong's camp, and took the prisoners to parade, showing off their power, and showing off their strength.
The military generals under Chai Rong were all shocked.
Han Qinhu was too cruel. Before he could meet with Chai Rong, he attacked the Song army on his own initiative. The key point was that Han Qinhu also achieved the results of defeating the 20,000 Song army and captured seven Song generals.
Zhao Guangyi, the second man in the Song army, was defeated and fled in panic.
Zhao Guangyi's complete formation of Pingrong Wan was still unable to withstand Han Qinhu's cavalry assault tactics at the center of one point and was completely defeated. Zhao Yanjin and other Song generals became prisoners below the ranks.
"General Han made great contributions in this battle, he is really a powerful general in the world."
Chai Rong had to praise Han Qinhu.
With Han Qinhu's character, he is soft but not hard.
What's more, Han Qinhu defeated Zhao Guangyi, which made the morale of the Song army shake, and Chai Rong saw the opportunity to completely defeat Zhao Kuangyin.
As one of the heroes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was familiar with history books and knew that the Sui general Han Qinhu was temporarily transferred to Han Qinhu under his command, Chai Rong must also be careful to control this person.
If Han Qinhu is not careful, Han Qinhu will even dare to fight against him.
Only Chai Rong, a military general who had served as an emperor, had the ability to control Han Qinhu.
The generals under Chai Rong came from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, whose lives were like grass, were also rebellious. Therefore, although Chai Rong had a headache about Han Qinhu and He Ruobi's arrogance, he could barely accept it.
"What?! You are Han Qinhu!"
Several captured Song generals were shocked when they learned that the general who defeated Zhao Guangyi and captured them was Han Qinhu.
No wonder Zhao Guangyi's full formation of Pingrong Wan was vulnerable to the opponent's cavalry. It turned out that the opponent was Han Qinhu, a powerful general of the Sui Dynasty!
Han Qinhu was also a famous general to the military generals of the Song Dynasty!
"Zhao Yanjin, I personally fought against the Southern Tang Dynasty. You once offered 10,000 pieces of cords to help the military. I will give you the General of the Right Qianniu Guard and the Chief of the Army of Haozhou."
"Cui Yanjin, you once followed me to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty as the commander of the Crane. Because of your military achievements, you were promoted to the Duke of the Sanjun. You followed me to pacify Waqiao Pass and became the commander of the East and West squads, and also served as the governor of Zhaozhou..."
Chai Rong glanced at the Song Dynasty generals captured by Han Qinhu. Most of these people had served under Chai Rong.
When Chai Rong counted the past, Zhao Yanjin, Cui Yanjin and other military generals who had served in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were silent and silent.
After Zhao Kuangyin and Chenqiao mutiny and put on the yellow robe, they did not react much, and naturally became ministers of the Song Dynasty. If they were to blame, they would somewhat let Chai Rong down.
Cui Yanjin sighed: "At that time, the king's country was suspicious, and dynasties changed frequently. We generals had no choice. Now we have become prisoners under the ranks and let the old master deal with it..."
"Come, loosen the ties for them." Unexpectedly, Chai Rong did not severely punish these generals, but loosened the ties for them. "Soon, I will capture Zhao Kuangyin alive, so you don't have to go back."
Cui Yanjin, Zhao Yanjin and other Song generals looked at each other, with a little shock in their eyes.
Chai Rong claimed that he was about to capture Zhao Kuangyin alive, which shows that Chai Rong was sure to win at this time.
But Chai Rong mentioned this to them, and they knew Chai Rong's decision to fight Zhao Kuangyin, and they could not leave.
Compared with the credit for defeating Zhao Guangyi, the credit for capturing Zhao Kuangyin was even greater.
As long as Zhao Kuangyin is captured alive, He Ruobi's contribution will be greater than Han Qinhu, and He Ruobi's promotion will be higher than Han Qinhu.
"Zhao Kuangyin, I will definitely be captured by me!"
Han Qinhu was not willing to be outdone and wanted to take all the credits into his pocket.
“…”
Cui Yanjin, Zhao Yanjin and other Song generals looked at each other again. Han Qinhu and He Ruobi's relationship seemed to be quite bad, and they would also capture Zhao Kuangyin alive as a bargaining chip for success.
Chai Rong was getting more and more troublesome. He Ruobi's character of competing for merit was not easy to control.
Even if Han Qinhu and He Ruobi fails to obey military orders and takes the initiative to attack, it is not impossible.
"I brought 100,000 troops to Lu State, and then collected 100,000 troops from Lu, and obtained 50,000 troops from Han Capitu and 50,000 troops from He Ruobi, totaling 300,000 troops from He Ruobi."
"Zhao Kuangyin has 100,000 Song troops and 100,000 Chu troops to help, totaling 200,000 troops."
"For 300,000 to 200,000, the food and grass of the Song army were burned down again, and their morale dropped, and their chances of winning were over 50%. You can fight."
Chai Rong considered Han Qinhu's surprise attack and burned a batch of food and grass in the Song army. He believed that the time for a decisive battle with Zhao Kuangyin was approaching, so he rewarded the entire army, prepared food and grass, and prepared to leave Lu County and attack Zhao Kuangyin's garrison.
The 300,000 soldiers and horses in the city were feasting, and everyone knew that the Lord General was so generous that they might have to work hard next.
In Zhu County, Zhao Kuangyin's garrison, Zhao Guangyi, who had lost 20,000 Song soldiers, fled back to the city and apologized for Zhao Kuangyin.
His entire Pingrong Formation was defeated.
Zhao Guangyi's face was pale. This time, the loss of food and grass had a negative impact on the morale of the Song army and may affect the decisions of the Xia army and the Song army in the future.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't know how to deal with this younger brother for a moment.
When Zhao Kuangyin was the general of the Imperial Army under Chai Rong, he charged forward and fought against many famous generals for a long time. Therefore, his military talents and experience were first-class. Even Chai Rong could not gain an advantage in Zhao Kuangyin's frontal battle.
However, Zhao Guangyi's responsibility was to stay in the rear when Zhao Kuangyin went to war and lacked the experience of personally fighting. Therefore, Zhao Guangyi's military talent was quite mediocre compared with legendary generals.
This time, Zhao Guangyi took the initiative to request grain transportation, so Zhao Kuangyin sent Cui Yanjin, Zhao Yanjin and other military generals to assist Zhao Guangyi.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Guangyi's 20,000 Song troops were attacked by the Xia army's cavalry, almost wiped out the entire army, and the food and grass were burned.
The news came back to Zhu County, with 200,000 Song and Chu troops, and people were in panic and morale declined.
The morale will affect the fighting spirit of the soldiers. If the morale is too low, the probability of turning against the enemy and escaping at the last minute will be very high.
Military advisor Zhao Pu said: "Our army lost a batch of food and grass, and the morale of the army is in turmoil. Zhou Shizong is likely to take this opportunity to fight with us."
"From what I know about him, there is indeed this possibility..."
Zhao Kuangyin did not doubt Zhao Pu's judgment.
Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong knew each other well.
The Northern Han, Southern Tang, Khitan, and Chai Rong were in charge of the troops and commanded the troops with the enemy's arrows. Therefore, Chai Rong had a high prestige in the hearts of many military generals in the Later Zhou Dynasty.
