Guo Shao returned to Waqiao Pass (Xiongzhou) and the Beihu Jie Army left camp.
He first summoned more than 40 generals including the commander of the army, the commander of the army, and the commander of the army to discuss matters.
The Zhongjun camp tent is a felt-top camp tent, which is built around it with wood and cloth, and is covered with felt grass as a straw raincoat, which has a good waterproof effect.
The generals arrived one after another, and habitually removed the weapons and placed them on the shelf at the door. After a while, it was like a weapon exhibition, and all kinds of protective soldiers with various swords and swords were placed.
After everyone arrived, Guo Shao brought his personal guards to the account. The personal soldiers did not go in and directly put martial law around them. They did not allow the irrelevant soldiers to approach.
Meeting with Marshal Guo (lord)... A group of people bowed their fists a little in a mess.There were so many people coming all of a sudden, and there was no place to sit, so everyone had to stand.
After a while, several personal soldiers came up with a simple shelf, with a large picture hanging on it, and roughly outlined a map-like thing with very thick lines.
This picture is made by Guo Shao himself. The drawing is a bit ugly, but it is very simple.
Guo Shao took off his helmet and put it on the table. It was mid-April and the weather was already a little hot. He tied his long hair around his head and covered his helmet with him.
When he turned around, everyone's noise stopped one after another, and many eyes looked at Guo Shao.
He is now used to such scenes.
So he thought for a moment, then pointed to the map and said casually: It is said that the large reinforcements of Liao Kingdom have arrived at Mount Yàn, probably in this place; our army is currently resisting the north and south of the rivers...
The transfer of the Hujie Army's left wing was to immediately cross the Juma River and arrive in Zhuozhou and Gu'an. The two cities formed a corner and stood on standby; the infantry military power would be handed over to Qi Tingxun, the commander of the Left wing. Once they arrived in Zhuozhou, Qi Tingxun was responsible for commanding the six armies.
Someone asked immediately: Is Marshal Guo going to step down as the head general of the left wing?
Guo Shao said: I have new military affairs.After leading the troops from all over the country to follow the main force, they marched towards Youzhou. They were under their command including the Hu Jie Army's left-wing horse soldiers, the Dingzhou army, and tens of thousands of soldiers. I don't know exactly which places they are and how many are there.
He turned to look at the tall Qi Tingxun: Send someone to move the dozen or so big boxes placed in Qizhou to Zhuozhou. Do you know what I said?
Qi Tingxun clasped his fists and said: I understand.
Guo Shao also said: Li Chuyun, Luo Yanhuan, Dong Zunxun, Deng Fei, the four generals led the cavalry of our headquarters to follow me; the others followed the command of the commander of the Left Xiangdu, Qi Tingxun.The commanders and commanders also followed the army, Zuo You and Luo Mengzi followed me; Lu Chengyong served as deputy commander and stayed in the left wing of the mud-door with Zhou Duan.You all understand where you are going?
Everyone agreed and discussed for a while. Guo Shao immediately ordered the generals to return to the camp and prepare to set off.
Starting early the next morning, the troops crossed the Juma River through the floating bridge.
Most of the time we fought, we were marching, and everyone got used to it. It has been more than a month since the Northern Expedition, and everyone has walked hundreds of miles and occupied a lot of places, but they have not really fought a war.
The river water is clear, and the fields on both sides are green at the turn of spring and summer. Many of the land here are deserted and covered with grass, but they still look full of vitality.
At this time, the scene is as if it is not in the same place than the snowy winter.
Guo Shao rode his horse to the river bank and stood under a tree watching the army moving in a row and a large number of mule and horse carriage frames.
Looking back at the left and right, seeing Li Chuyun beside him, thinking about Li Chuyun's words at the end of last year, I couldn't help but say: Brother Li is really right.
It had been several months since those words were said, and the generals had almost forgotten them. When they heard Guo Shao mention them, everyone began to think about them one after another.
Li Chuyun bowed his hand immediately, smiling without saying a word.
Seeing this, Guo Shao suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more general... Guo Shao only remembered that Chai Rong got sick during the Northern Expedition and had to stop the army, which caused regret; but he could not remember what the process was.
On the contrary, when Li Chuyun said something at the end of last year, it seems that he has only predicted the events afterwards.
The Zhou army fought until the south of Jima Henan, and only one small-scale conflict occurred, and it was indeed a successor.Guo Shao said that after crossing the Juma River, the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom were almost here. The important thing about this battle was to fight the main force of the Liao Kingdom and to join the steadily with what General Li said.Admiration!
After hearing this, Li Chuyun said: Youyun and Bohai countries are the old places where the Khitans obtain their properties. There is no reason why the Liao Kingdom does not save them.Those relatives and brothers occasionally fight or even fight, but which one is willing to hand over half of the fertile land estates in their hands to outsiders?Don't fight to the death.
Guo Shao asked again: What will happen if the battle between Zhou and Liao are winning or losing? Brother Li will predict again?
Li Chuyun was quite hesitant and said calmly: I think it is difficult to win.
Guo Shao was thinking, and suddenly reported that a messenger from Daming Mansion had found the army.He sent a message to bring the person up, and saw that it was a man wearing a robe and a few followers. After seeing him, he actually sent a letter to present him.
Fu Ermei’s letter.
Guo Shao then called his followers to receive the messenger first, and quietly rode his horse to the side, then opened the letter to see it.
Letters in this era are very difficult and costly. I specially sent people to travel hundreds of miles to deliver letters.
Otherwise, you can only find an acquaintance to carry it, and the loss may be very likely.
The beginning of the letter looks very plain, Fu Ermei said that there is a position of official position in the gate of the royal palace, which is a place that specializes in receiving letters, official documents, and prayers.
She would send someone to ask every few days, and for the first time she realized that waiting was so harsh.
If she finds her husband's letter, she will be happy for a long time. For a long time, she can only read his letter carefully to express her longing.
When Guo Shao saw this, he suddenly felt a little anxious and wanted to win the Khitan early and go back to Tokyo.
But he speculated that Chai Rong's body might not last long and he would not be able to live in peace when he returned. The moment of great changes in history was faintly ahead.This made Guo Shao feel anxious and thought about it, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
The best choice is to follow the Queen's arrangements.
……
The Hujie Army left wing army arrived in Zhuozhou. At that time, the troops in front of the palace had already headed north, and Qi Tingxun then took over the defense of the two cities of Zhuozhou and Gu'an.In accordance with the imperial edict, Guo Shao led more than 2,000 cavalry to advance northward to follow the main cavalry unit of the Zhou army.
The water at the Zhuo River Ferry Crossing was shallow, and the troops wade by the water, easily breaking through the Zhuo River.
At this time, there was no danger to reach Youzhou City in front of the Zhou army, and it was flat; the rivers near the city were also shallow, and they could not stop the army at all... The Youzhou Plain was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the south was a flat plain.
Guo Shao had only two thousand cavalry under his command, and the Dingzhou army and Zhenjie soldiers had not arrived yet.
The vanguard Shi Yanchao and the squads of the front office of the palace were already close to Youzhou City. The elite cavalry of the central army followed, and Guo Shao and Long Jie were at the end.
On the second day of the march, the night of the camping, the central army suddenly sent people to come and the emperor summoned all generals to discuss matters.Guo Shao had no choice but to bring more than a dozen followers to catch up with the central army.
The fire outside the tent was bright, and it was dark when Guo Shao arrived at the place.
Wang Pu and more than a dozen generals and the emperor were present, and immediately said: Shi Yanchao reported that the Liao army had arrived near Juyongguan and Deshengkou (northwest of Youzhou City).
Chai Rong said at this time: You think you can advance to the army, let’s talk about it first.
The generals looked at each other, and Chai Rong called Zhang Yongde and said: General Zhang, tell me.
Zhang Yongde took a step forward and bent down to worship: Since the Liao army has set out, we must save Youzhou.I don’t know what I have to say... Since the Great Zhou has occupied all the seventeen counties on the south bank of the Juma River, it has made contributions to the army. There is no need to rush to Youzhou now, but Xu Tuzhi...
There is no need to say anything to persuade me to withdraw.Chai Rong said decisively.
At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin stood up and said: Since the Liao army has reached the northwest of Youzhou, why didn’t they come straight to save Youzhou City?Maybe it was a plan to deliberately lure our army to the city and lure the enemy into the deep.The reinforcements of the Liao people have arrived now. Our army might as well watch the south first, wait for the main force of the Liao army to move south, and then wait for the opportunity to fight to the decisive battle.
Several generals immediately agreed with Zhao Kuangyin's plan and were unwilling to go deep into the city of Youzhou.
Wang Pu also said: After the troops are at the city, our dynasty will divide the troops to siege the city and disperse the troops. If we can wait for the Liao army to move south, we can avoid any worries.
Someone also said: The Liao army has been providing reinforcements from afar and has just arrived in Youzhou, but it will not attack at this time; they will not go south easily, so they must delay rest.Now that we are rushing to Youzhou City, the Liao people can force the fierce battle.If the Liao army still retreated to protect Deshengkou Pass, our dynasty would take the opportunity to attack the city; once it occupied Youzhou City, it would have a foothold.
Guo Shao, where is Guo Shao?Chai Rong suddenly shouted.
Whenever he talks about siege, the emperor will think of Guo Shao, who often doesn't say a word.Guo Shao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am here."
Chai Rong asked: When will you be able to go to Youzhou?
Guo Shao gritted his teeth and said: I have sent merchants who pretended to be good at Youzhou to investigate the situation. Youzhou has a general manager of the South Court, and the South Court has 18,000 Khitan cavalry and unknown Xi soldiers and infantry.It is unlikely that the people under Yichen will be besieged... Even if the city wall is blown up, it will take about a month; you must first dig tunnels around to find a suitable explosion point.Because some places and underground water seepage cannot be placed.
He couldn't help but enter the honest advice: To siege Youzhou, one must also transfer the elite infantry troops to build several layers of fortifications outside the city, and use a large army to surround them.
Chai Rong thought about it for a long time and decided to set up a camp in the south of the city and not to attack Youzhou City for the time being.He did not issue an order to transfer the subsequent elite infantry troops.
It can be seen that Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin have a relatively consistent view on the strategy of attacking Youzhou, both focusing on the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom and looking for opportunities to fight in field annihilation of the enemy.
Guo Shao has participated in high-level court discussions many times, and has probably figured out the military ideas of Chai Rong and other generals: he usually does not rely on plans, but wants to find an opportunity to set up a counter-attack.
However, when fighting, there are always some external conditions that affect the outcome, such as terrain, morale, physical strength, number of people. Therefore, the so-called tactic is to try to lead external conditions to the side that is beneficial to oneself... In the end, it is to compete for strength.
At present, the elite Zhou army did not station troops, because they felt that the conditions for the troops to be at the city were not good for them.
He first summoned more than 40 generals including the commander of the army, the commander of the army, and the commander of the army to discuss matters.
The Zhongjun camp tent is a felt-top camp tent, which is built around it with wood and cloth, and is covered with felt grass as a straw raincoat, which has a good waterproof effect.
