Pingchuan mystery

Li Zijian didn't know that he had made another big mistake. Just as the drums were rumbling, the real army of officers and soldiers had already put out the torches and quietly headed west.

It was dawn and the situation under the city was clear. At that time, Li Zijian almost vomited blood because he found that the officers and soldiers camp was empty. Except for a few flags flying in the wind, there was not even a rabbit in the camp. Where did the officers and soldiers go? For a moment, Li Zijian was thinking about this problem. Li Zijian woke up from his sleep and entered another nightmare. Looking at the empty officers and soldiers camp, his head was about to explode. He felt that every time he fought with the Living King of Hell, it was fine. This time, there was no one left after fighting.

The officers and soldiers suddenly disappeared in Pingchuan City, and Li Zijian couldn't sit still. He sent a wide range of horses to explore. In short, he must find the traces of the officers and soldiers as soon as possible. They were thousands of troops, and they could still fly without a trace. Of course, the officers and soldiers would not disappear, nor would they hide them deliberately.

There is a canyon north of Datong called Sanchexia. As the name suggests, the canyon has a large capacity and can accommodate three or two carriages across the board. In the past, there was a bandit active in Sanchexia, but later it was wiped out by the imperial army, so there was nothing wrong with Sanchexia.

After Tongling reinforcements arrived at Sanche Gorge, Du Jianwen ordered the army to stop and rest, and sent scouts to climb up from both sides to see if there were ambushers. Although Sanche Gorge was wide enough, there was only one canyon in the middle, which was definitely a good place to ambush. Du Jianwen was familiar with military tactics and naturally would not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Du Jianwen was waiting for the news of the scouts, and Liu Guoneng was also paying close attention to Du Jianwen's movements. Seeing that the peasant army was parked outside the canyon, he had to sigh. Fortunately, he did not arrange ambushers in Sanche Gorge, otherwise he would have to empty his bamboo basket. Once Du Jianwen's alertness aroused, the next battle would be difficult to fight. "Every generals obey orders, they must appease their subordinates and must not expose their whereabouts. When Du Jianwen's troops pass Sanche Gorge, they will send troops up. If anyone leaks their whereabouts, they will take his life."

Liu Guoneng led his troops to shoot a fright in Pingchuan and suddenly appeared in the Sanchexia area, but it was very difficult. Naturally, he didn't want to waste all his previous efforts because of a little omission.

With Liu Guolao's orders over and over again, everyone finally managed to withstand their spirits and did not rush to send troops to both sides of the valley. After staying for an hour and confirming that there were no ambushes, Du Jianwen finally ordered the entire army to pass through the canyon. Tens of thousands of troops passed through the Sanche Gorge, which was very slow and took half an hour. However, after Du Jianwen passed through the canyon, he did something admirable. He kept his deputy general Quan Qilong and gave him three thousand troops. Quan Qilong's task was to defend Sanche Gorge, preventing enemy troops from attacking Sanche Gorge and cutting off the retreat of the army to the north.

Du Jianwen's cautious move gave Liu Guoneng a big headache. Du Jianwen is worthy of being a descendant of a famous family and is much more powerful than Li Zijian. Just by splitting the troops in Sanchexia, you can see how smart this person is, and the overall view is even more extraordinary. Before Datong has arrived, he has begun to consider the overall situation.

Du Jianwen's troops finally passed through Sanchexia, but Quan Qilong's troops remained. At this time, Liu Guoneng faced a difficult problem. Should he fight or not? If he fights, he will definitely fight with the bandits who stayed in Sanchexia, and he will not care about Datong for the time being. Liu Guoneng has always been a decisive person. He quickly made a decision, glanced at Sanchexia and said sternly, "Don't worry about Du Jianwen and Datong. Commander Sha has been leading troops for many years. When you know how to delay avoiding the war, you only have one task, which is to capture Sanchexia for me within an hour, and you must never give Du Jianwen time to react."

Liu Guoneng had to concentrate all his energy on Sanchexia. Although Sanchexia only had three thousand soldiers, there were benefits of the terrain here. More than three thousand people were scattered on both sides of the canyon. If the number of people was small, it was a delusion to take Sanchexia in a short period of time. Moreover, judging from Du Jianwen's previous military dispatch, this was definitely an extremely difficult person. If he found that someone attacked Sanchexia, he would never hesitate and would give up rushing to Datong as soon as possible and return to rescue Sanchexia. Therefore, the time left for himself was not long. If Du Jianwen could not take Sanchexia before he rushed back, the plan to siege Datong and throw bait and fish would not be successful.

Liu Guoneng gave the order to die, and all the generals took it seriously. After they were ready, when the first shout appeared, the chaos broke through the quiet night sky. The attacks of the officers and soldiers came extremely fast. Quan Qilong could not resist and could only retreat step by step. But even so, soldiers were still caught up by the officers and soldiers, chopped on the ground, and the vast Sanche Gorge, several miles north and south, were entangled and fighting.

Quan Qilong didn't know how many officers and soldiers had arrived, but he knew exactly that if there were no reinforcements, Sanchexia would definitely be lost. "Hu... Hu... Hu... hurry up and find someone to rush out and tell Leader Du, don't go to Datong, come back to help quickly, otherwise something big will happen."

Quan Qilong is not a fool. How could he not know what would happen if the Sanchexia was lost, the officers and soldiers surrounded Datong? At that time, Du Jianwen's army, plus Datong, would all fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers. By then, Leader Xu in Tongling City would be in a dilemma. The more than 10,000 troops under Du Jianwen's command were the limit of the ability of Tongling City to be sent out.

Sha Diao received the order from Sanchexia in advance, so naturally he would not fight Du Jianwen head-on. The brigade of troops was divided into three and kept striking. In short, even if Du Jianwen led his army into Datong City, he would not care about it, but he could not go back. Gradually, Du Jianwen felt something was wrong, so he gave up entering Datong City and called his own personal commander over, "Maguan, something is wrong. You can quickly send someone to Quan Qilong to confirm if there is anything wrong in the rear."

Du Jianwen was really amazing. He guessed that something had changed through a series of actions by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side. If he had not met a veteran like Liu Guoneng, there might be any possibility of turning around. However, Liu Guoneng acted decisively and ruthlessly. At this time, Sanchexia had already killed him. Quan Qilong had retreated to the hillside of the north end and was finally shot through the head by Xu Zhixin. Ma Guan did not reach Sanchexia at all. Halfway through the defeated soldiers who fled. When he heard that Sanchexia was taken down by the officers and soldiers, Ma Guan was shocked.

When Sanchexia was lost, the officers and soldiers no longer had any worries. The army rushed to Datong and surrounded Du Jianwen's rear. When he learned that Sanchexia had lost, Du Jianwen could only sigh, give up entanglement with the sand sculpture, and entered Datong City as fast as possible. However, Du Jianwen could not feel any comfort. He knew that Datong City did not have strong city defense and could not resist the attacks of the officers and soldiers.

If you fight outside, you will be rescued. The problem is that few people know what to save. Datong, Datong, originally, should be in the rear, but now it has become the deadliest front. But you know that the officers and soldiers are back to the circumference to attack the aid, but you must not help.

Another dawn came, Datong returned to peace, and Sanchexia was also cleaning the battlefield. But for Xu Beichuan in Tongling City, it was like being struck by lightning. Sanchexia was lost and Datong was surrounded. He could not lose it, whether it was Du Jianwen, tens of thousands of soldiers, or Datong City. He could not refuse to save it, and the officers and soldiers were bound to be on guard. He could have been unable to defend and rely on the strong city, but in the end, the officers and soldiers were able to succeed. After thinking about it, Xu Beichuan wrote a letter to Li Zijian.

A letter was sent to Pingchuan Town, but it was Xu Beichuan's letter of help. The letter only wrote eight words "Abandon Pingchuan and reinforce Datong". The eight concise and concise words made Li Zijian's heart bleeding. Then Li Zijian was furious and tore the letter to pieces, "Xu Beichuan, you want me to die. I am staying well in Pingchuan. You ask me to go to Datong, hum!"

Li Zijian was really angry. He guarded Pingchuan City well. Unexpectedly, something happened in Sanchexia. Since he learned that all the officers and soldiers were going to Sanchexia, Li Zijian was still proud and felt that he would not harm Pingchuan, but what happened next almost angered him to death. Xu Beichuan not only sent reinforcements to Datong, but also his mother was trampled on the back and blocked Datong City. In the broken place of Datong, it would be a ghost to defend. To put it bluntly, those soldiers have become the things in the pockets of the officers and soldiers. They should have been determined to give up these, but now Xu Beichuan has sent a letter to say what to reinforce Datong.

That's very obvious. If you Li Zijian does not reinforce Datong, after Du Jianwen's defeat, Datong will be lost, and the road to the north will be opened. Your Li Zijian's Pingchuan Town will become a useless person. If I don't care about you, you Li Zijian will still be unable to defeat the officers and soldiers. It's better to take advantage of the moment to join Datong. It's better to have a better chance of winning than to single bang. To put it bluntly, Xu Beichuan is forcing the palace and forcing Li Zijian to send troops to Datong together.

Xu Beichuan is cruel and terrible, did Li Zijian refuse? Of course he can't refuse. No matter from any perspective, he can't face the officers and soldiers alone. And as Xu Beichuan said, there is still some chance of winning, but if he fights with others separately, it will be a loss.

So, Li Zijian could only follow Xu Beichuan's suggestion and ordered thousands of troops to gather again and leave Pingchuan Town. When Li Zijian's troops slowly moved towards Datong, a soldier was slowly moving towards Pingchuan Town. Give up Pingchuan and reinforce Datong. This was Xu Beichuan's last solution, but who would have thought that this arrangement would become the biggest failure on the Tongling battlefield.

Because Xu Beichuan gathered troops and horses in Datong, Pingchuan Town became a place without defense.

On the way to Datong, Li Zijian was cautious all the way, afraid of being intercepted by the officers and soldiers, but the road was smooth sailing. Until ten miles away from Datong, there was no trace of the officers and soldiers. In this way, Li Zijian's troops successfully entered Datong City. Du Jianwen and Wang Ye were naturally very happy. With these thousands of new forces, they were even more confident in defending Datong. But they didn't know that Li Zijian's question mark at this time, and he didn't even feel good about eating.

"Brother Du, please advise everyone not to be too happy too early. Li walked along the way, but he didn't even see the shadow of the officers and soldiers. Under Datong City, he thought he would fight a fierce battle, but he never thought that the officers and soldiers would make way out automatically, as if they were interested in sending reinforcements into the city."

Du Jianwen was stunned and frowned, "Is there anything else?"

Du Jianwen thought it was just a scene under the city, but he didn't expect that he would not encounter any officers and soldiers intercept it along the way. Fighting aid is not like fighting aid, and the surround point is not like surrounding point. What do the officers and soldiers want to do?

"Pingchuan Town? Are the officers and soldiers really want Pingchuan Town?" After murmured to himself, Du Jianwen shook his head firmly again. What's the use of the broken place of Pingchuan Town? Datong is located on the southernmost important road and can provide a springboard for attacking Tongling, but Pingchuan Town has no such effect.

If officers and soldiers want to fight Tongling from Pingchuan, they always have to pass by near Datong, so they say that it is meaningless to take down the broken place of Pingchuan alone.

The night was as cool as water. The people in Datong City were sleepless, and the people outside the city were also not sleepy. Du Jianwen stood at the top of the city and looked outside with some confusion. Before the hour of the year, the officers and soldiers stationed outside the city began to gather. With a few miles apart, they could still vaguely hear the noise coming from afar. The officers and soldiers were about to set off the camp? At first, Du Jianwen thought that the officers and soldiers were going to attack the city at night, so he was very scared, so he let the soldiers guarding the city be on guard. However, the result of the spies being sent back was that the officers and soldiers were gradually leaving Datong in sequence and moving towards the Pingchuan.

Before, Du Jianwen also thought that officers and soldiers might go to Pingchuan Town, but Pingchuan Town is really meaningless. What do the officers and soldiers want to do so?

"Let's explore again, you must figure out what the officers and soldiers are trying to do, and are they going to sneak attack Tongling City?" Du Jianwen was really afraid that there would be some conspiracy hidden inside. If the officers and soldiers wanted to bypass Datong and sneak attack Tongling, it would be a good thing. Tongling City has a strong defense, and it cannot be defeated in one sneak attack. If the officers and soldiers really want to attack Tongling City, then Datong City naturally has no time to take care of it. At that time, how can the officers and soldiers be invincible under the attack from north to south?

The spies cheered up and confirmed it repeatedly before sending the news back to Datong City. The officers and soldiers really went to Pingchuan Town. Overnight, the officers and soldiers outside Datong City had almost gone.

Du Jianwen was a little confused. Li Zijian leaned against the battlements and yawned a little tiredly, "Brother Du, anyway, the officers and soldiers have withdrawn, and there is no problem with Datong for the time being, so let's go to bed first."

"If Brother Li is tired, you can rest by yourself!" Du Jianwen looked down on Li Zijian in his heart. There was a little contempt in his tone. Li Zijian was bored, snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the distance.

Pingchuan Town is no longer defended, and Liu Guoneng and Sha Diao can be said to have no effort to defeat Pingchuan.

Night, the middle of the night came quietly, and the cold wind was like a sharp knife, hitting the face, making people feel a little numb. Xu Zhixin wrapped in a thick cloak, almost revealing her two eyes, "General Liu, are you sure we can take Tongling next?"

"Don't worry, Miss Xu, since the supervisor has come in person, he must be very sure!"

Liu Guoneng didn't know much about the specific plan, but he knew Tiemo very well. The Supervisor never fought a war that he was unsure of.

In the middle of the year, a long convoy came to Pingchuan Town under the darkness of night. The Tiemo, whom Xu Zhixin had always wanted to see, was also with him.
