Chapter 1657 Outsmarting Huo Yi

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Zhan was a good governor, but he was killed by his own people.

    Before the others could react, Jin Qu whipped his whip at the general beside him.  The opponent subconsciously dodged, not noticing that the person behind him had already stabbed him over with a spear.

    Only then did the rest of Liu Zhan's personal guards react and stepped forward to besiege Jin Qu.

    Jin Qu held a steel whip and killed three people in a row. The others were afraid and did not dare to step forward for a while.  Jin Qunai shouted: "We obey the destiny and surrender to Duke Wei. Anyone who stands in our way will die. Are you going to be buried by Liu Zhan?"

    Everybody was shocked.

    At this time, the Tang army lost their leader and immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.

    So Jin Qu asked people to open the city gate and welcome the Sui army into the city.

    Zhang Wenyuan led his army into Jiexiu City smoothly.

    At this time, Jin Qu came to Zhang Wenyuan with Liu Zhan¡¯s head in his hand. Zhang Wenyuan looked at him and said bravely: "What a strong man!"

    At this time, Jin Quan and other children from aristocratic families also came to see Zhang Wenyuan.  Although Zhang Wenyuan didn't want to see the other party, he also knew that he had to make peace with them at this time.

    But he liked Jin Qu very much, so he asked Jin Quan to become his personal soldier.

    Of course, Jin Quan did not dare to refuse. Although he was reluctant to give up such a warrior as Jin Qu, he had no choice but to agree.

    The Sui army occupied Jiexiu City and changed Li Yuan's Haozhou back to Xihe County. Zhang Wenyuan used Liang Gonghe, who was an old official in Fengzhou, as the prime minister of Xihe County to lead the county affairs, appease the people, eliminate the remaining bandits, and collect the counties in the county.  .

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Later, Li Yuan sent troops to conquer Liang De, and Liang De was defeated and fled to Xicheng to hold on.

    Later, Li Yuan was busy going south to take charge of Guanzhong, and could not take care of Liang De, so he had to let him station troops in Xicheng, and ordered Liu Zhan, Zhang Lun and others to choose an opportunity to break it.

    After Zhang Wenyuan went down to Xihe, he ordered people to go and recruit Liang De.

    Liang Dechang was in Hedong, and he also recognized the reputation of Zhang Wenyuan, the Marquis of Xihe, and immediately led his troops to Jiexiu to meet Zhang Wenyuan.  Zhang Wenyuan ordered his troops to be incorporated into the Youtun Guard Army and follow the Youtun Guard Army southward.

    Zhang Wenyuan occupied Xihe, so he would not stay here for long.  But if the Sui army continues to move south, it is impossible to hand over Xihe to the local aristocratic families.  So Zhang Wenyuan decided to use a plan to drain the firepower. All of them, including Jin Quan, Song Yi and others, were led south by Zhang Wenyuan in the name of joining the army in the war.

    After taking away everyone, each family in Xihe lost its leader.  Moreover, everyone in the Sui army can also serve as hostages. If each family has any ideas in the future, they must also consider Jin Quan and Song Yi of the Sui army.

    Of course Jin Quan, Song Yi and others are not willing to do so. How can joining the army be compared to being a local snake in their hometown?  So Jin Quan politely asked Zhang Wenyuan to stay in Xihe.

    But Zhang Wenyuan said sternly: "Don't you want to contribute to the pacification of Li Ni?"

    Jin Quan was so frightened that he trembled and dared not speak.  It is true that Zhang Wenyuan has a large number of troops and is full of murderous intent. No one dares to refuse.  So everyone had to follow south reluctantly.

    Going south from Jiexiu City is the natural barrier of Queshu Valley.

    Starting from Lingshi in the north to Huoyi in the south, it stretches for dozens of miles. They are all dangerous roads that only one man can pass and no one can cross.  Huang Mingyuan defeated Yang Liang's general Zhao Zikai here in one fell swoop and opened the way north to Jinyang.

    After Li Yuan occupied Huoyi, he was worried that the Jinyang defense line would be lost, so he left General Yuan Zhongwen to garrison in Huoyi and guard the Queshu Valley as a barrier to the southeast of the river.

    Yuan Zhongwen was born in the Yuan clan of Luoyang and was a descendant of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, since the fall of the two Wei Dynasties, the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and even the Sui Dynasty later suppressed the descendants of the Yuan clan. Therefore, his branch has declined by his generation.

    Yuan Zhongwen was originally a Ying Yanglang general in Taiyuan County. After Li Yuan killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, he surrendered to Li Yuan without hesitation.

    Yuan Zhongwen only wanted to become a founding hero and bring glory to his family.  Therefore, he attaches great importance to this opportunity and guards Huoyi very carefully.

    However, Yuan Zhongwen only had less than 3,000 men in his hands, and they could only block the road in Queshu Valley.

    Although Zhang Wenyuan saw the Tang army blocking the road, he was not in a hurry.  When Huang Mingyuan defeated the Han Dynasty's rebel army here, he went north from Huoyi, bypassed Queshu Valley, and raided behind the rebels from Gaobiling.

    Before, Huang Mingyuan thought that this place was important and would encounter another war in the future.  To be honest, if there were no trails, it would be really difficult to pass, so he ordered people to carefully examine the terrain around Queshu Valley in case of emergency.

    This time the Sui army entered Hedong, Huang Mingyuan had people draw a map of Hedong for Zhang Wenyuan and Liu Yunfang to facilitate their march.

    In fact, Huang Ming¡¯s grasp of the situation in Hedong is far as good as that of the imperial court.  When Yang Liang's rebellion was quelled, Huang Mingyuan ordered Chen Yuan to general the commanders of Hedong counties.The records, books, etc. are carefully organized and kept for future use.

    Zhang Wenyuan saw that the road ahead was impassable, and even the Gaobi Ridge where Huang Mingyuan had marched could not be passed, so he ordered Bagang to lead 3,000 troops, follow the map markings, make a circle to the west, and go south along the dangerous path.

    From Queshu Valley to the west, there are high mountains and ridges, all the way to the Luliang Mountains.

    The higher the mountains, the easier it is to find paths.  It's just that the government generally doesn't record it in the books, and many outsiders don't know about it.

    Bagang fought through thorns and thorns all the way, climbing over mountains and ridges, and finally found the path shown in the picture.  This road is dangerous and difficult to pass by, and only some herders use it.

    Not long after everyone walked forward, they discovered that the horses could not walk on this road at all. Bagang then ordered to abandon all the horses and baggage. In addition to the ordnance, they only carried three days of rations.

    When they reached a dangerous road that was inaccessible, everyone climbed on the rope and many people fell to death along the way.

    After walking for more than two days, everyone finally walked out of the mountains and appeared outside Fenxi County.

    Fenxi is a small county. There are not many defenders in the county, but they were all recruited by Yuan Zhongwen to guard Queshu Valley.  Only a few government officials were left to maintain the defense of the county.  The county magistrate only paid attention to the main road to the east and did not take any precautions against the mountains to the west.  So Bagang's troops appeared under the city. The people in the city were unprepared and were swarmed into the city.

    Not far from Fenxi to the southeast is Huoyi.

    At this time, the Sui army and the Tang army were fighting fiercely.  Zhang Wenyuan expected that Bagang would have successfully detoured, so he ordered the army to step up the attack on Queshu Valley to cope with Bagang.

    There were many Sui soldiers and horses. Yuan Zhongwen knew that if he was killed by the opponent out of the Queshu Valley, he would be invincible and must be blocked in the valley.  So they concentrated their troops and guarded each road.  Therefore, there are insufficient troops, and Huoyi City behind Queshu Valley is almost undefended.

    Bagang came from the west and captured Huoyi City without any effort.

    So Yuan Zhongwen, who was resisting the Sui army in front, was embarrassed. Three thousand men and horses were squeezed between Huoyi and Queshu Valley by the Sui army, unable to advance or retreat.

    Bagang led his army to attack Yuan Zhongwen's rear army from behind. His army was defeated and fled. Yuan Zhongwen could not restrain him and was unwilling to surrender. He led his own soldiers to fight to the death, and finally died in the chaos.

    So the main force of the Sui army passed through Queshu Valley smoothly and headed straight for Linfen City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
