Chapter 200: When fighting in Taihang Pass, Sali was in a gust and was in trouble. He fought!

Yang Zaixing was in Jincheng and had already received news that all the passes in Taihang had already published pigeon books. As long as the thief army approached, it would be reported to Gaolin within two days. Taihangguan was faster. In just three hours, the first pigeon had already flew into the pigeon loft in Jincheng. Gao Lin was shocked to get the book and did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately reported to Yang Zaixing.

After two more hours, even the urgent report from Yue Yun came to Yang Zaixing. The book said: "The bandit army has no less than 20,000 infantry and cavalry, but from the south of Pingyang Prefecture, only three thousand Jingqi vanguards followed closely. Most of them had not yet gone south. The nephew's 100 cavalry, one man and two horses, could not bear it. Besides, the bandits had not yet stopped for a few hundred miles. At the end of this, if Yang and Uncle Gao were interested, it would be not difficult to raise the Zezhou army to break the camp, but Zhu Shu decided to decide!" His intention to fight was vividly on the paper. Yang Zaixing smiled bitterly: "This second master of Yue is a troublemaker. He dragged all the most powerful troops on Hedong and the west road to Zezhou. But now everything is still in good condition. How is the military battle? This matter is quite difficult to be good. What are you doing?"

During the meeting, Hong Hao, Gao Lin, Sun Qi, Li En, Yao You, Guo Blacksmith and others were all talking, but none of them could come up with a decisive opinion. Yang Zaixing waited for a while and saw that everyone had no opinion, he had to name it: "As the commander of the Zezhou Army, Gao Lin must have good solutions and not hide his own interests. Let's listen."

Gao Lin had no choice but to stand up and said, "After asking, brother, I dare not say it: If you want to recruit the two states to pacify the Jin thieves, it would be difficult to raise all the money in ten or eight years. At present, although the troops and horses in Luzhou and Luzhou were not as large as the Yue family army that day, they had never slacked off in training, and the army was still more powerful. On that day, Wushu raised hundreds of thousands of troops to go south, and the Song Dynasty also raised hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the enemy. Naturally, the Yue family army could not resist the enemy alone. Now Wushu has devoted the power of the Jin Kingdom. How could he find hundreds of thousands of troops in the past? Looking at it, the Zezhou army did not use firearms, and there was no rival on the ground in Hebei. Why must everything be prepared before sending troops?"

When the generals in the seat heard this, they all nodded secretly, and they all seemed to have the same feeling, but Yang Zaixing refused to agree: "This statement is reasonable, but it still has some things to do! What does sir think?"

Hong Hao, however, had to stand up and said, "Mr. Yang, generals, I only govern the prefectures here, and I have never heard of military affairs. But since ancient times, there is no good governance in the country, and there is no reason to win outside. For those who mobilize the army, I should try my best to help the food and grass. However, regardless of whether the food and grass are complete, the defenders in Hebei cities should not be underestimated. If you seize the city and defend the city, you will have enough more than 60,000 troops. If you want to attack the city and plunder the land, and divide the troops along the way to defend, I am afraid that before you capture the land of Youyan, the ten stops have already gone for five or six stops. How can you get the help of the troops? If the Song Dynasty went north, there would naturally be a source of troops and horses, and there would be no reason to be scarce. Zezhou was alone in the thief's territory. If you acted carelessly, you would lose your throne. Then it was too late to regret it!"

Yang Zaixing said: "Well, this is correct!"

Yao You endured it for a while, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Brother must have a firm opinion, but there are some wrong things in this statement. Sir, don't think we are reckless: Not to mention that there are still a hundred thousand Song people on the ground in Hebei. Even under the actions of a large army, there may not be no good men going north to join the army. There is also a saying in this way. If the army takes all the cities in Hebei, there is indeed a difficulty. If we take Hedong first and the ground in the west of the capital, we will not need to consume a lot of troops and horses, and we can communicate with the Song Dynasty. What military troops are there at that time?"

Everyone in the hall was furious, and everyone said that Yao You was right, and even Hong Hao pondered and thought that this plan was feasible. Yang Zaixing thought in his heart that it was inappropriate: "The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty in the Great Song Dynasty was also recorded in later history books. Among them, Han Luzhou's defeat can be said to have planted the root of the destruction of the Song Dynasty, which was the result of rash launching after being prepared inappropriately. It's okay, what Zhao Gou feared was that Wu Shu established Zhao Heng in Hebei and abolished the orthodox status of the Zhao Song Dynasty in Lin'an. This was the biggest disaster. I am afraid that when the army was taking action, the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan would not only not help, but instead stabbed him in the back and were embarrassed by Wu Shu's orders. This would be a worse move! But how can this be said?"

Now he said to everyone: "Yao You's plan is much more beneficial than going north with a large-scale move! The army started, and did not compete with Hebei, but used troops to Hedong. It was separated from Taihang Pass and was not afraid of thieves' attacks. It was just that Zezhou was surrounded by enemies and acted rashly. If there was a fundamental mistake, it would be unfair. Now, Saliyu should not be allowed to seek advantage, nor should it be asked to ask for the crimes of Zezhou. However, it must be done to get Hedong as a basis. You can listen to a certain family's measures!"

Everyone was very happy when they heard this. There were such a complete plan, so why are you worried about?

Seven days later, Sali's soldiers gradually gathered around 7,000 outside Taihang Pass. Sali's soldiers did not attack. He first wrote a note and handed them to Yang Zaixing, Jincheng. His words said: "The nearest Taihang bandits went deep into Hedong Prefecture and injured a general under the tent. Since our generals, we have never heard of the thieves being rampant. Now we have heard that the bandits have fled to Zezhou. You have also had any mistakes. I dare not resign and lead the elite troops under our command to fight with the bandits at Taihang Pass. I hope you can send the soldiers and horses of our province to help you and do the king's affairs together, so don't be lucky!"

On the other side, the delivery was urgently delivered to Shangjing. The report in the book said to Wushu: "Zezhou is unstable, and the bandits in Taihang are rampant. They go deep into Hedong to disturb the local area and kill and injure the generals of the Jin Dynasty. This is indeed unforgivable. Yang Zaixing was ordered to govern the prefectures and his crimes should not be escaped. The Prime Minister should make clear the justice and punish him for punishing the bandits, and he was the feudal intention of the emperor." Here we first filed a lawsuit, and gave him the title of "suppressing bandits" in leading his army to Taihang Pass. Everyone knows that there are some tricks between Yang Zaixing and the bandits in Taihang, but they have no real handle. If they refuse to recruit Zezhou soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits, the crime will be relied on.

However, before the urgent letters passed by Zhongdu, there was already movement in Taihang Pass. The spy came to report this day: "Master, the troops in Taihang Pass have increased sharply. Seeing that the thieves gathered in the mountains, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to our army. Please make a decision!"

Sali laughed and said, "What can I do to me if I am a mere bandit? You must carefully deal with the movements of the troops in Zezhou and whether to send troops to help suppress the bandits. The bandits in front of me are worried that he will not come. It is very difficult to suppress them in the deep valleys. If you dare to oppose our army, that would be better."

Unexpectedly, after Yang Zaixing got the book, he not only had no movement, but he was also writing to Wushu: "The nearest one is the bandits in Taihang Mountains, and the troops of Ze and Lu are not enough to help the people. The state is shocked several times in a day. The prime minister must send powerful troops to help eliminate them, so as not to disturb the thieves and increase the guilt of a certain family!" Seeing this book, Hong Hao laughed loudly, without saying much, and stood up to the capital with a man.

However, Gao Lin and others seemed to disappear. Even the soldiers and horses in the outer camp of Jincheng were less than one day, and they didn't know where to go.

In the early October, the north wind was getting colder. Sali was probably sent to Beijing for urgent delivery, but people went to Kaifeng to teach Li Qiong to lead his troops here to quarrel with the bandits. Who knew that the wind was strong at night and there was no movement in Kaifeng, hundreds of rockets were on their own. At noon, there were no more than half of the food and grass in the camp tents, and the scorching people ran around in the camp. When the people shouted and neighed, Sali was furious and said, "The thief dared to attack the camp! Where are the people coming, come out to the camp with me to wipe out this group of bandits!"

When hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the camp, hundreds of black-clothed figures flew into the mountains and forests, where could they chase them? Here the trees were lush, how could the cavalry chased them? When they were about to rush to Taihang Pass, they were afraid of being at night, so they had to return to the camp to fight the fire. As dawn, the camp was miserable. Saliyu couldn't blame anyone else, but he just hated that he was a little careless and did not dare to rest for several days. He moved the camp to an open space more than ten miles away. He set up a guard post hundreds of steps away from the camp. The torches were illuminated all night and prevented sneak attacks.

The camp was just now stable, and several cavalry teams rushed out of the mountain, as if they had been like Yan'an Mansion before, and rushed back to the camp, and when Sali was sent, they had already retreated to the pass. This repeated, Sali was so exhausted that it was so exhausted that the Kaifeng Mansion was holding nearly 10,000 troops and horses, and refused to send people to help, so they rushed to Pingyang Mansion and took all their infantry and cavalry to come.

Before the two armies arrived, a letter of war was actually brought down on the mountain. In the name of the chivalrous society, Sali invited Sali to fight outside the camp. Sali was overjoyed and was waiting for reinforcements. Naturally, he replied and agreed to fight the troops the next day.

Nearly noon the next day, Saliyu's army was lined up with each other. More than two thousand cavalry came sparsely from miles away. However, the armor was not intact. Although everyone had weapons, they were indestructible. As expected, they were just down-and-out bandits and dared to provoke the army! Saliyu couldn't help but feel a little Hao Ran. A few days ago, he only thought about how to set up a game, so that Yang Zaixing sent troops to fight against the bandits of Taihang. However, he captured him on the pre-proposed charge and sent him to Shangjing for punishment. Unexpectedly, there was no movement on Yang Zaixing's side. The bandits had already been dispatched, which made Yang Zaixing escape. Seeing that the bandits had different banners and their armor was not intact, they were overjoyed. Without waiting for the bandits to form a formation, they ordered: "What are the thieves waiting for like this? Attack with me! Don't let a cavalry go!"

At this moment, the killing sounds in the Jin army formation were loud, and a few infantry were useless. More than 5,000 cavalry rushed out. Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandits in Taihang turned their horses and left. The heart of connecting to the war was gone. But they ran slowly on their tails and shot crossbow arrows from time to time, making Saliyu dare not force them too close, but chased them for seven or eight miles. Seeing that the road ahead was narrow and it was approaching Taihang Pass, he heard the sound of gongs in the forest beside the Tao. I don’t know how many crossbow arrows flew out of the forest.

The four words "Arrows are like rain" were raised, and the five thousand cavalry fell down in an instant, six or seven hundred cavalry were all riding arrows. There were also soldiers who were hit by arrows by chance. They also suffered the complete armor of the Jin army and did not hurt too much. Sali was shocked and angry, but the crossbow arrow shot two rounds and then disappeared. The large cavalry had already rushed through the woodland and rushed straight to the front of the pass, so he didn't care. He ordered the cavalry who had dropped their horses to search for bandits on the spot, and the rest of the troops went straight to the front of the pass.
