On the evening of the second day of August, the main force of Zhu Gaoxu's troops had already arrived at the mountainous area east of Rong County.It has been three full days since they passed Rongxian County.
No one knows which government office here is under the jurisdiction of Guilin Prefecture.
Humanely, Guilin is the best in the world, but there is obviously no beautiful scenery in the mountainous areas here. Looking around, there are only lush mountains and greens on all sides...
Half a month ago, the main troops of the Han Wang Army left Libo County on the morning of July 18th.
They walked along the official road for about eight and a half days, marched for more than 300 miles, and arrived at the Qingyuan Prefecture area in the afternoon of July 25th. At that time, more than 100 miles were left from Yishan County, Qingyuan Prefecture, and the army stopped advancing towards Qingyuan Prefecture.
Then the Central Army, the Back Army, and the left and right four armies left and left and left and set out towards Rongxian in the northeast.
At that time, there were only Wang Bin's vanguard army with more than 10,000 troops, and continued to march towards Yishan County.They made great efforts along the way, searching for enemy spies and scouts from all directions, and spreading fake news, clamoring for advance.
Four days later, on the evening of July 29, Zhu Gaoxu led tens of thousands of main forces to Rongxian.
At that time, the county town had been occupied by the cavalry advance of the Han King's army and the road to the south was blocked.
The army rested in Rongxian for a night, then headed east and marched into Guilin Fucheng on the mountain road... Three days passed, and it is now the second day of August.
The roads are becoming increasingly difficult to walk, and the army has many vehicles and animals, so they can only march along various roads in the valley with long snakes.
This place is sparsely populated, and the roads are often overgrown and rugged. The soldiers in front of them must clear the roads all the way.
The soldiers in the army had to abandon some vehicles and distribute the baggage and food to the soldiers to carry on their shoulders and backs.It was quite hard for everyone to walk this mountain road.
Marching in endless mountainous areas is like sailing in the endless ocean; perhaps people know that if you keep going, you will definitely get out, but the repeated uninhabited scenes are inevitably panic.
Near... The brown horse under Zhu Gaoxu's seat chuckled, and the legendary river ahead finally appeared in sight.
The sun had just set into the endless forests to the west, and it was not dark yet.However, when Zhu Gaoxu and his team returned to the military camp, it must have been nightfall.
The forward commander Wang Yu shouted happily: That's Xihe!
Originally, the forward general was Wang Bin, but Wang Bin's troops became the last defender, and Wang Yu's troops were used as the forward.
The voices around him suddenly became noisy, and they were mixed with the language of the Shengmiao Tribe that they could not understand at all.
The dark-skinned Miao man was shouting, not knowing what he was saying, but he was very excited when he looked at his expression, as if he was saying: I didn't lie to you!
Wang Yu gave the Miao man a piece of silver as a reward for his guide; the Miao man had a daughter who grew up and used this silver to make silver jewelry and marry a beautiful daughter.
So the two sides hit it off, and even though the language was not very smooth, the cooperation went smoothly.
There are Miao local officials in the army who followed the army from Yunnan, but local officials still cannot easily talk to the local Miao people. It is said that it is because of the difference between raw and mature seedlings, and there are also differences in languages in different places; just like the dialects of the Han people, it is not so easy to understand.
After the Han Wangjun entered the Guangxi Provincial Administration and the Ministry of Public Administration, in addition to robbing all the government warehouses in various cities, plundering and harassing the people was strictly prohibited by military law.
Therefore, the Han Wangjun has not yet made a grudge with the locals, and everything is easier to deal with.
This river is called Xihe. We will march southeast along this river tomorrow morning.Wang Yu said, "When you go to a river beside you, there is a native village there."Then the army crossed the river and continued to travel eastward.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: How far is there to come out of the mountain?
Wang Yu said: It may be 50 or 60 miles away.The march in the mountains is a bit slow, but we will definitely be able to get out of the mountain after walking for two more days at most!After the guarantee was finally guaranteed, I quickly walked to Guilin Mansion.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: That was the evening of the fourth day of the August 2018.
He turned his head and looked at Wang Yu, and suddenly laughed: General Wang has worked hard recently, but he just happened to lose your flesh.In recent years, you have been promoted quickly and your flesh has grown fast!
Hahaha... The generals immediately laughed together.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at the light in the west and said: Go back to the camp!
The next day, various troops continued to march through mountains and rivers in long columns.
Before noon, everyone crossed the Xihe River one after another... There is a river beach to the south of Hewan Village, and the water is very shallow, so the army directly wades across the river and bridges.
When the sun sets west, the army camps again among the mountains and forests.The scouts of Wang Yu's subordinates reported that this section of mountain road is the most difficult to walk today, and the terrain energy gradually improves after departure tomorrow.
Zhu Gaoxu had just had supper in the camp when he received a report from Wang Bin.
Wang Bin wrote in the letter: Wu Gao may have discovered the movement of the prince's army. The enemy turned around early this morning and headed south along the official road on the east bank of the Luoqing River.
At the end, the generals received the news and decided to go back to the south and approach the Wu Gao army from the north of Liuzhou Prefecture.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at the date of the signature.On the third day of August, the report was only issued today.
He raised his head and saw that the generals who had dinner with him were still in the tent.He handed Wang Bin's letter to the guards next to him and made a gesture to the generals to circulate.
After a while, Zhao Ping, who was the first to read the letter, said: The Marquis of Jiangyin is so brave. If he goes straight to Guilin Mansion and fights to the prince, can he know his victory or defeat?
Zhu Gaoxu said: How many troops are our army divided into? Wu Gao may not have figured out how many people are in the king's central army.If he knew that the king had only more than 70,000 people in total and Wang Bin's army was still behind, he might be able to fight.However, Jiangyin Hou was very gambled, and he didn't like to fight unsure.
Zhao Ping said: What the prince said is very true.
Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself that it is not easy for people who have read several cards to lose.
Zhu Gaoxu himself often doesn't understand the specific situation of the enemy. His method is to guess the opponent's mentality.
It is a way to judge whether it is guessed or pondered.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and turned to Hou Hai and said: Wang Bin... Hou Changshi wrote a letter tonight and immediately send it to Wang Bin's camp tomorrow morning!The command Wang Bin can only monitor the movements of Wu Gao's army and not fight in a vain; wait for the main force of our army to move closer, and then launch an attack on Wu Gao's army.I warn Wang Bin that if my vanguard army is damaged, I will punish me severely and never be merciless!
Hou Haidao: The emperor obeys the order!
Zhu Gaoxu felt something was wrong.
Because Wang Bin was the commander of the third guards of the Han Palace and the confidant of Zhu Gaoxu, he is now the general of the governor.
But in terms of war experience, Wang Bin definitely cannot compare with old-fashioned guys like Wu Gao.
Several generals in the tent started to talk. Zhu Gaoxu didn't hear what they were saying clearly, and gradually became a little confused.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu spread a map on the chopping board and stared at the map thoughtfully.
He was stunned for a long time and began to work hard to use his imagination. He recalled the scenery described by the scouts between the city road lines on the picture.
In this era, the head coach really needs imagination and memory.
Zhu Gaoxu guessed Wu Gao's thoughts. The reason why Wu Gao turned around must be because the official army was located was mountain ranges on both sides of the east and west, and only the directions to the north Guilin and the south Liuzhou area could be marched... Since Wu Gao turned south, his intention should be to avoid the war.
Of course, Wu Gao must not figure out where the main force of the Han Wang Army was; he decided to turn around and return, and it should have gone through a lot of speculation and trade-offs...
After Wu Gaojun walked out of the mountainous areas along the Luoqing River, he would roughly go east.Because it continued to go south from Liuzhou Prefecture, it was Laibin County, and the Sheng Yong unit of the South Route Army was advancing in that direction.
Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know exactly where Sheng Yong has been.
However, Sheng Yong received the military order to cooperate with the Central Army to deal with Wu Gao, so he would definitely not go to Nanning Prefecture again; after they arrived in Tianzhou, they should go east towards Laibin County.
From Tianzhou to Laibin County, you can reach it in 15 or 16 days of marching. The nearest weather is also good. Zhu Gaoxu judged that the Southern Army will not be too far from Laibin County.
...In the southeast of Guilin Prefecture, there are Pingyue Prefecture, Xunzhou Prefecture and Wuzhou Prefecture.
As long as Wu Gao could reach the Wuzhou Prefecture of Pingle Prefecture, he could retreat to the Guangdong Provincial Administration and even the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the Provincial Administration and Administration.
Zhu Gaoxu picked up the brush and dipped it on his tongue twice, and circled three places directly on the map, Laibin County, Wuzhou Fucheng, and He County (Hezhou City).And Liuzhou Prefecture City is no longer valuable at this time.
He began to contact the post roads and town marks between the triangles, recalling and imagining the terrain.
Post roads and towns are a reminder, because people usually build these facilities in relatively flat places; when they really can't recall, Zhu Gaoxu could also temporarily summon soldiers from the scout camp and the North Division to talk to those who have inquired about military information.
After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke: Wu Gao wants to go to He County!
The generals looked at each other, and most of them were a little confused, and they could not understand Zhu Gaoxu's judgment for the time being.
Zhu Gaoxu did not explain and directly ordered: General Wang, your troops will set out tomorrow at the fifth update and march to the west bank of Luoqing River to repair it.Then someone was sent to build a pontoon bridge to find out the nearby river roads.
Wang Yu clasped his fists and said: The last general will get the order!
Zhu Gaoxu said again: After the entire army emerges from the mountain tomorrow, it will march straight along the southeast direction of the main road towards Yangshuo County and Pingle Prefecture (Pingle County).We will intercept Wu Gaojun in the Lijiang River Basin in the Pingyuefu area!
Without waiting for the generals to answer, he immediately looked at Hou Hai again and sent Wang Bin to send someone to Laibin County to find Sheng Yong's Central Army.He ordered Sheng Yong to lead the Southern Army to advance straight eastward and march into Wuzhou.If the Wu Gao army gathers troops to fight with our troops after encountering them, we will do our best to hold back the main force of the enemy and wait for Sheng Yong's safe army to go north to surround Wu Gao!
No one knows which government office here is under the jurisdiction of Guilin Prefecture.
Humanely, Guilin is the best in the world, but there is obviously no beautiful scenery in the mountainous areas here. Looking around, there are only lush mountains and greens on all sides...
