On the evening of the seventh day of the August 19th, Zhu Gaoxu learned about Wang Bin's attack on Wu Gao's troops in the military camp south of Guilin Prefecture.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't sleep well all night.
The defeat of the vanguard army led by Wang Bin is a destined thing, and Zhu Gaoxu has no expectation for victory or defeat; while trying his best to face reality, he also has a faint sense of luck. All he hopes is that Wang Bin's troops can survive from death and avoid the misfortune of the entire army!
Wu Gao had an army of 100,000 under his command, so it was impossible to give Wang Bin a chance to win; if Wu Gao was really so incompetent, Zhu Di would not need to use a divisive strategy to deal with Wu Gao during the Battle of Jingnan.
Because stupid mediocre generals are beneficial to the enemy.
Such a waiting is quite painful.Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be waiting for the result of the verdict, his heart was hanging in the air and could not land; he really let go of the opportunity of luck.
The scenery in the southern part of Guilin Prefecture is very good, with green mountains and clear waters on the flat land.
The next morning, when Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse onto the official road, he had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery.Perhaps the beauty of the scenery is not important, what can really touch people is their own state of mind.
In the afternoon, the troops began to set up camp and sent people to all sides to prepare some food.Zhu Gaoxu finally got news from Wang Bin's army again.
As expected, Wang Bin's vanguard army was defeated, with nearly 2,000 casualties dispersed, and most of the baggage and weapons lost!
Fortunately, they avoided destruction... After retreating, Wang Bin and others used a lake terrain to resist until dark; they took advantage of the enemy's retreat and retreated to the northwest overnight, and finally left the battlefield.
In a tile-roofed house, the generals circulated the report and everyone was silent.Some people paid attention to Zhu Gaoxu's expression.
Zhu Gaoxu's face was sunburned into a bronze color, sometimes red and sometimes white, and his anger was suppressed.His mood was very complicated.
Perhaps because he was mentally prepared, he was still a little lucky now.
Although Wang Bin's troops suffered a considerable loss and it was difficult for a while to join the war, at least most of the soldiers survived; as long as the people were still there, they could still recover their combat power in time!
But a moment of gratitude cannot cover up Zhu Gaoxu's anger.This was a completely avoidable defeat, but it had a serious impact on the entire battle situation.
The first battle of the Han Wang Army failed, and morale will surely increase and decrease.
Originally, Wu Gao's army fled everywhere and his soldiers must be depressed, but their first victory will make Wu Gao win the trust of the soldiers again... If the coach is not trusted, it is a very bad situation. If the military order is passed on, it will be questioned, and problems may occur when the deployment is implemented; the battle is like a winner taking all, and the main general who wins continuously will only gain greater advantage!
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu's central army was insufficient, and he had been against the trend before when dealing with Wu Gao; now more than 10,000 people in Wang Bin's army have lost a lot of combat power, and it is difficult to recover within a few days, and Zhu Gaoxu has only less than 60,000 infantry and cavalry left.
There was a silence in the simple main hall.
Zhu Gaoxu did not mention Wang Bin, but he finally said: Tomorrow the camp, the troops of the Central Army will continue to move south according to the original arrangement!Before Wu Gao transferred heavy troops to destroy Wang Bin's troops, the enemy still wanted to run away; Wu Gao's first destination must be He County.Judging from the distance, we can intercept them near Pingyuefu.
Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said: The governor's men were still north of Luorong County. Before Wu Gao's army arrived in Pingyuefu, they might not be able to arrive.We have less than 60,000 troops. If we get close to the enemy, will Wu Gao fight to the death?
Zhu Gaoxu pondered endlessly, and he felt that there was a possibility.
Now the Wu Gao army marched eastward, and the Han Wangzhonglu army marched eastward toward the south. The two armies were heading towards the same place, and the distance was getting closer and closer; while the southern part of Guilin Prefecture had a wider view and many roads.
In this way, the scouts' back and forth time are short, making it easier to inquire about each other's military information, and it is difficult for Zhu Gaoxu to hide how many troops he has.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, then said decisively: That must also be held back from Wu Gao!When Sheng Yong's army arrives in Wuzhou and then heads north; if the Wu Gao army had not arrived in He County, we could use our superior forces to launch a decisive battle against the Wu Gao army!
The risk is indeed not small, but Zhu Gaoxu is determined to take the risk.
Otherwise, if the 100,000 Wu Gao's army was allowed to go to Jiangxi, the future battle between Huguang might be able to join the war; at that time, the Han Wang army would be even weaker.
Without long-term considerations, there will be immediate worries.Zhu Gaoxu has determined that the adventure at this time is worth it...
From the eighth day to the ninth day of the eighth month, some reports came from Luorong County intermittently, including letters from the civil servants of the army and reports from the military generals of the Northern Command of the Imperial Palace.
Gradually, Zhu Gaoxu learned the specific details of the battle in Luorong County.
He felt that Chen Zhen, the commander of Lu Liangwei, had some generals.He then sent someone to the vanguard battalion and ordered Chen Zhen to temporarily lead the military power of the vanguard army and summon Wang Bin to return to the central army to report his duties.
On the evening of the ninth day of the lunar month, the army selected places to camp.Zhu Gaoxu summoned the Chinese civil and military personnel of the army and summoned Wang Bin to the headquarters of the Central Army.
Zhu Gaoxu sat on a square table bench in a dilapidated main hall, with the surrounding generals and civil servants standing on both sides.After waiting for a while, Wang Bin walked into the room with poor lighting from the light at the door.
Wang Bin knelt straight on the ground and kowtowed: The last general did not listen to the prince's military orders and was defeated in front of Wu Gao's army. He deserved the crime. Please give up the prince!There is no complaint at the end.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, a trace of change that was not easy to be noticed flashed in his eyes.
But he was even more furious immediately, and slapped the wooden table with a slam, pointed at Wang Bin and cursed: Damn it!Do you think that if you have blocked the gun pill for this king, you will be arrogant and arrogant because of your favor?!
After hearing this, the people around him looked at each other.
Zhu Gaoxu was extremely angry and shouted, "Come on, please pull me out for me..."
useless!Zhao Ping immediately interrupted Zhu Gaoxu and said with his fists, please think twice!Although the governor of the king had failed, he made contributions. He defeated his merits and demerits, so he asked the prince to show mercy.
Hou Hai also quickly said: If the King's Governor had not confused the enemy properly, Wu Gao would not have fallen into the trap and left Luo Qingjiang.The subordinates also asked the prince to give up his slightest resignation for the sake of the governor's contribution.
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: Military law is unkind, how can we forget this?
The generals followed suit and pleaded with each other, and everyone had the same attitude, and no one could take the blame.
Wang Bin is not easy to get along with and has a bad relationship with many people, but at this time there are many people who suddenly plead for mercy.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu was still angry and said loudly: Wang Bin!For the sake of your brothers pleading for you, you can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape the life penalty.Someone came, take it out and beat me to death!Immediately remove the position of Governor Wang Bin from his position!
Wang Bin followed a few soldiers out without saying a word, neither saying thank you nor saying goodbye.After a while, there was a crackling sound of whips outside, but Wang Bin's screams were not heard.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Is he? This Wang Bin is a stubborn donkey.If you make such a mistake next time, it will be useless for anyone to persuade me!
Everyone said: The prince is kind.
Zhu Gaoxu stood up angrily and left.
The main hall just now was a little dark, but at least it faced a front door.The dirt walls inside were even darker; the windows were very small and it was not dark, so the room had to light an oil lamp.
At this time, Miaojin walked in and said: I'll bring the food in for the King of Han.
Zhu Gaoxu waved and said: Miaojin will do another thing first. I have the medicine brought by Yunnan in my bag. I will take the bottle of trauma for Wang Bin.
The light was not very good, and Miao Jin's face could not be seen clearly. She seemed to want to speak but stopped. Finally, she whispered: I used to think Gao Xu was a person with a temperament, but it was true that others said you were cunning.
Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: There is no way.If I openly abuse my power, military law will be useless; but if I kill the chicken to warn the monkey, I can't use Wang Bin to attack!
At first glance, I have hundreds of thousands of followers, but I have all kinds of thoughts in it; but Wang Bin is different. No matter how capable he has, at least even if I am defeated, he will not betray me even if he dies.
Miao Jin said: I'll go find medicine.
Zhu Gaoxu then sighed, "The old saying goes, one general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone."How can a general be so easy to create?They are all talented people who are trained with corpses and seas of blood.So I took huge risks back then and wanted to save Sheng Yong and others.In the battle of Luo Rong, if Sheng Yong and Ping'an Qu could lead the troops, there would definitely be no such mistake.
Wang Bin was very brave in charge in the "Jingnan Battle", but I think he is currently a good commander at most, and no matter how powerful the military power is, it is unreliable.
Miaojin found a medicine bottle from the cloth bag, opened it and stuffed the wood, then turned around and walked out.
Zhu Gaoxu sat alone, with his elbows on the dark table next to him, and he didn't move or make a sound. He was in deep thought, as if he had entered a state of meditation.
The light of the oil lamp is very weak. If someone comes in at this time, you may not find someone sitting in the room.
...Night fell, and Wang Bin lay on the bonfire in front of the tent without saying a word, his teeth tightly clenched.The fire shone on his face, and the veins on his forehead were obviously bulging, looking stunning.
At this time, Miaojin walked to the fire, her face could not be seen clearly behind the scarf.But Wang Bin recognized her at a glance, and she was the only woman in the army.
Miao Jin took out a bottle of medicine and squatted down in front of Wang Bin.She put the medicine bottle in front of him and said softly: The King of Han personally asked me to send the medicine. Yunnan medicine is very effective in treating trauma.
Wang Bin didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear it.
Miaojin stood up and couldn't help but turn around and want to say something, but suddenly saw Wang Bin's fierce face full of regret and pain, as if he was still a little scared, but he just didn't say anything.
She swallowed the words to her mouth immediately, and turned around and left silently without saying anything.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't sleep well all night.
The defeat of the vanguard army led by Wang Bin is a destined thing, and Zhu Gaoxu has no expectation for victory or defeat; while trying his best to face reality, he also has a faint sense of luck.
