Chapter 8 Overcompeting Huiji 4
It seems that Liu Jaozhi in the east has won. My suspense can't help but calm down a little.
After a cup of tea, the gate was opened, and the camp officer led the lead and rushed into the city. I left a man with a tie to guard the door, and with the rest of the people, I rushed into the city of Huiji.
The fierce street fighting did not unfold as expected. On the contrary, it was only some sporadic thief soldiers. I always thought that the large number of thieves stationed in the city did not know where to go.
It didn't take long for our army to occupy all the strongholds, including the county government, the school grounds, the treasury and the military treasury. It's already five days.
The search for Sun En began when he entered the city, but no trace of any important thieves, including Sun En, was found until noon.
Later, through the mouth of the prisoners, it was learned that Sun En had broken through the north gate and escaped from Huiji City during the siege in the middle of the night.
When Liu prison heard the news, he was furious and called the general guarding the north gate to question it.
It turned out that a team of thieves suddenly came out of the city when the North Gate was indeed under siege. This team of thieves was killed from the sealed door. Unexpectedly, our army and the thief soldiers fought together, killed each other for a while, and finally killed the thief soldiers back to the city. Since then, the thief has never come out again.
It is estimated that Sun En escaped at that time by taking advantage of the chaos of the North Gate.
Because the troops in the north were transferred by Liu Laozhi himself, there is no other way but to severely punish the troops and battalion officers in the north.
The army sent out to rescue Sun Wuji, Huan's un talented and elegant army also came back at this time. But only elegance came back, and Huan Wucai and Sun Wu finally did not enter the city.
One of the elegant people said decadently when he saw me, "Liu joined the army. The city was taken back, but it suffered heavy losses.
General Gao suffered. Hurry up and have a rest when I see the general."
"When did the city break?"
"About five days. Don't the two generals Huan and Sun go to the city with you?
"We came back together. It's just that the two of them don't want to go to the city. Please let me plead with them and go back to Zhejiang first.
"So it is." Gao Yazhi's story is very plain, but I know that Sun and Huan's hearts will not be so plain.
Sun Wuyu and Huan Wucai led a large army to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly the whole army was destroyed. As famous generals in Beifu, how can these two have the face to return to Huiji City? Moreover, the master guarding Huiji City will be Liu Laozhi, who is almost the same as the two of them. Instead of coming back shyly, it's better to go back to the Zhejiang defense line. At least there are one or two thousand soldiers there. The two generals who lost their soldiers also lost their dignity to the battlefield.
They will endure the roast of loss of dignity during the day and the torture of the souls of soldiers at night.
After the visit to the Lord, he elegantly told us what happened last night.
After losing the first battle of elegance, he attacked the thief army with the ambush. It was when the war was in full swing that the thieves who annihilated Huan and Sun Wuyi arrived and attacked the elegant from behind. On the contrary, the elegance fell into the front and back attack. Gao Yazhi was not in a mess. He knew that his task was to delay the reinforcements. So he fought and retreated, gradually leading Xu Daofu's army away from Huiji City.
Just as Lu Xun led another army to prepare to surround Elegance with Xu Daofu, the two armies suddenly withdrew and fled.
The cunning Xu Dao suddenly gave a blow to Gao Ya before withdrawing. Gao Yazhi did not know Xu Daofu's intention. When it was confirmed that Xu Daofu was indeed withdrawing, there was no time to pursue him.
It turned out that Lu and Xu withdrew their troops because they heard the news of the collapse of Huiji City. After hearing the news of Sun En's defeat, the thief soldiers from everywhere also fled by sea.
Although the imperial order to destroy Sun En was not completed, after all, he conquered Huiji City under the circumstances of Huan Wucai, Sun Wuji and elegant defeat. Although Liu Jaozhi and his subordinates were blamed, they were more rewarded to varying degrees. In addition, the court also appointed Liu Laozhi as the governor of Huiji County. Garrison Huiji.
After Liu Jaozhi's Sima was transferred back to Beijing, Liu Jao's court appointed me as Sima, and the previous appointment of the battalion governor was still retained.
Although Liu Laozhi does not have the power to govern the government, the court usually does not reject various appointments in his military office. Therefore, the first table is equivalent to being formally appointed by the court. Normally, Sima is the second most important position in the army after the general. Most of them will invite generals to celebrate, but under the current situation of all efforts to appease the military and civilians, it is not appropriate to exaggerate the promotion and reward of soldiers. I only sent the appointment letter to the army and changed my military uniform, and the others did not change much.
Compared with Liu's army being rewarded, Huan Wucai and Sun Wu finally were demoted due to their defeat. Their army did not enter Huiji City with one soldier, but stayed in the station along Zhejiang to wait for the crime. I wanted to comfort Sun Wu when I saw him at the end of the meeting. Knowing that he hurriedly left frustrated, he had to give up and wrote a letter to the trust messenger to bring it to him.
The first days of the meeting were very busy. The continuous siege has caused much more damage to Huiji than we imagined. This Huiji City, which is also known as the southern metropolis with Wu County, is a mess, and even the rich people have been looted. Fortunately, Sun En did not slaughter in Huiji. However, surprisingly, the residents of Huiji City do not seem to hate and hate Sun En as much as we think.
After a few days, I finally learned all the story of Xie Yan's defeat, and I couldn't help sighing for his death.
After Xie Yan had a match with Sun En in Wujun, he thought that the thief was nothing more than this. During his stay in the connounuch, he also did not prepare for war like Wang Ningzhi. The people under the account repeatedly admarried, and Xie Yan didn't listen at all and said arrogantly, "I think the million-strong army is still defeated by me, not to mention Sun En, a group of thieves."
Sun En first learned that it was Xie Yan who guarded the meeting, and he was also very afraid. He had been huddled in Yongdong and did not dare to act rashly. Sun En spent several months carefully preparing for the collection. When everything was ready, Sun En took advantage of Xie Yan's negligence and led the army to raid Huiji and killed Xie Yan unprepared.
Xie Yan did not expect that Sun En would attack all the way from Yongdong to the city of Huiji, hastily respond to the battle, and rush out of the city in an unpredictable situation.
Sun En is worried about Xie Yan's absence from the city. If the army's attack on the city of Huiji is not broken for a long time, the effectiveness of the raid will be greatly reduced; at that time, when Xie Yan understands the situation and competes with Sun En for strategy and tactics, Sun En is very likely to be defeated. To Sun En's relief, Xie Yan did not want to fall into the battle of defending the city at all. Sun En estimated this well, because how could this so-called military pillar not come out of the city when the thief came to the city, thus leaving the world with a laughing stock of fear of enemies.
