Chapter 348 Taiyuan County Raiders (2)
Seeing Li Yuanji so decisively, Yin Kaishan immediately became silent.
Yin Kaishan looked at the officials of the Qi Palace present, thinking that the King of Qi was young and energetic, and it would be fine if he didn't know about military affairs. For example, Liu Zhenghui, Li Siqi, and Wu Shiyi were all not people who were not in line with military strategies. Why did he say nothing and even encourage the King of Qi to send troops?
"Mr. Yin, please think about it carefully. I will hear your answer tomorrow." Li Yuanji threw down his words and left.
"Greatly send the King of Qi." Looking at Li Yuanji's back, Yin Kaishan said in a deep voice.
After the King of Qi left, the officials of the King of Qi also left one after another, leaving Yin Kaishan and his generals in the hall.
"General Yin!" Yin Kaishan was stunned and saw Zhao Wenke, the capital water supervisor, coming.
"Zhao Dujian, I wonder what you can do to teach me?"
Zhao Wenke smiled and said to Yin Kaishan: "Master Yin, you and I don't have to be so apart. When we started a military campaign from Jinyang together, we also offered sacrifices together."
Yin Kaishan glanced at Zhao Wenke, put his hands on his back, and said proudly: "Zhao Dujian was under the command of the King of Qin at that time, and under the command of the prince. However, it was less close to each other."
Seeing Yin Kaishan looking noble and noble, Zhao Wenke smiled and said, "That's right. Zhao was the commander of the King of Qin when he was in charge of the army, but now he was transferred to Taiyuan to work for the King of Qi. Although General Yin was under the command of the prince before, when he entered Guanzhong, he was the chief minister of the King of Qin. We both did things for the King of Qin in the past."
Upon hearing this, Yin Kaishan's face sternly said, "Zhao Dujian, if you have something to say, you might as well say it."
Zhao Wenke heard this and said, "Okay. General Yin is really quick to speak. Recently, there have been bad rumors in Jinyang City. It is said that General Yin is close relative of the King of Qin, so he refused to make contributions to His Highness King Qi. Therefore, he has been slow to leave the city to fight."
Yin Kaishan's body was shocked, thinking that this plan was so vicious, and it was not as if the King of Qi was urged to go to the battle for this purpose.
Yin Kaishan turned around and looked at Zhao Wenke. The two sides met with each other. Zhao Wenke narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and said, "We are also doing things for the King of Qi at the moment. If we can repel Li Chongjiu, there will be light on our faces."
Yin Kaishan nodded and said, "Zhao Dujian, please tell His Highness the King of Qi that I will lead my army to fight tomorrow!"
Zhao Wenke laughed and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I wish you success here!"
Yin Kaishan immediately took his subordinates and walked out of the Qi Palace.
A general said, "Zhao Dujian, this is a way to provoke the generals. The enemy soldiers outside the city are numerous and powerful, and the momentum is strong. However, the military rations are insufficient, so it is appropriate to fight quickly. At present, our army has few soldiers but enough food, so we are defending to exhaust our army. If we leave the city, it will only be the fastest way to become an enemy."
Yin Kaishan stopped hearing this, looked at the general, and said, "How can I not know what you said? But if I don't come out under the rumors here, the King of Qi thought that I had selfish intentions, and then he would have to fight. If it were someone else, he would not be Li Chongjiu's opponent. Even if I couldn't win, at least he would not be defeated."
After hearing this, the general said, "The general is really considering the overall situation, and we are not as good as we do."
Yin Kaishan waved his hand and suddenly said, "There is no need to say flattery again. There will be no wind or waves. There must be someone who spread rumors in the city. If I have a good idea, it must be Li Chongjiu. If this person does not use the right way to use military force, he will know how to play tricks. He is really a despicable villain."
The next day, it was dawn, outside the outskirts of Taiyuan City.
Yin Kaishan led three thousand troops out of the northern gate of Jinyang. Along the way, he encountered Youzhou troops collecting grain from the Youzhou army. When the two sides fought, the Youzhou army's ration team was defeated soon, and all the food and grass were captured by Yin Kaishan.
When Yin Kaishan escorted grain back to the city, the Youzhou army sent troops to seize the grain. Yin Kaishan commanded the troops to counterattack, defeated the Youzhou army again, and returned to the city calmly.
After returning to the city with two great victories, Li Yuanji was overjoyed and personally held a banquet to celebrate Yin Kaishan's merits and took the prisoners to the front of the hall.
The officials in Taiyuan congratulated Li Yuanji one after another, and Li Yuanji was a little fluttering, saying that he could take Li Chongji and the prisoners to Chang'an when they were victorious again soon. When the officials cheered in unanimously, Yin Kaishan sneered at the banquet.
On the third day, before Yin Kaishan stood up to the west gate of Jinyang City, the gate of Wengcheng opened, and he led a large army to slowly enter Wengcheng.
In the urn city, there was a lot of people and horses.
Today, Yin Kaishan was ordered to lead 5,000 troops out of the city from the west gate of Jinyang to rescue a fort outside the city that was besieged by the Youzhou army.
Yin Kaishan's face was gloomy and sat on the horse, while the generals on both sides looked unhappy at the same time. A general said, "King of Qi, when he fought yesterday, it was obvious that Li Chongjiu was deliberately defeated. He would probably die if he left the city today."
Yin Kaishan raised his head and looked at the square urn on his head, sneering: "Wencheng, we really seem to be in the jar at this moment, we are prey, and Li Chongjiu probably sneered outside the jar."
The general sighed and said, "King Qi, you are so unwise. If King Qin was in Jinyang City, how could we let us go out of the city to fight?"
Yin Kaishan sneered and said, "King of Qi, just because of this kind of person, I still want to compete for merit with the King of Qin, for nothing."
Hearing that Yin Kaishan was having a different voice, the general stepped forward and whispered, "General, do you have other plans?"
Yin Kaishan said, "Of course I have my own plans. I, Yin Kaishan, will be a founding hero in the future, and will not be worthy of the Taimiao after my death."
As the city gate suspension bridge was lowered and the gate opened, Yin Kaishan's eyes condensed and shouted, "Follow me to leave the city!"
After saying that, five thousand troops followed Yin Kaishan and rolled out from the west gate of Taiyuan.
King Li Yuanji of Qi and officials of the King of Qi were in the mansion. Li Yuanji was full of confidence and firmly believed that he would receive the news that Yin Kaishan would return to victory soon.
Half a day later, a general suddenly came to report and said, "Your Highness, the big thing is wrong."
Li Yuanji's face changed, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Why is General Yin defeated?"
The military general shouted loudly: "Report to the King of Qi, General Yin, five miles from the west of the city, he encountered Li Chongjiu's large army."
Li Yuanji said angrily: "Why is Yin Kaishan so careless? Do you know that you have to be careful of the enemy ambushing? Besides, only five miles away from the city, how can the enemy ambush be seen?"
"Your Highness, this is not the case. After General Yin encounters the enemy, he fights south and retreats!"
"What? Xiangnan? Why didn't he go back to the city? Could it be that the back road was cut off by the enemy?" Li Yuanji asked immediately.
After hearing what Li Yuanji said, all the generals were silent, surprised why Yin Kaishan did not return to the city.
Li Siqi said, "The southwest of the city is Mengshan Mountain, and Yin Kaishan led his army to retreat to Mengshan."
"You mean Yin Kaishan led his army to abandon us?" Li Yuanji's face showed an unbelievable look.
There was suddenly silence in the Qi Palace.
"I knew that this person was the confidant of the King of Qin." Someone among the generals said this.
After Yin Kaishan broke through, Taiyuan City was under the city.
The Youzhou army gathered together.
After hearing the news, Li Yuanji immediately climbed the city with all the generals. Li Yuanji walked on the sword and heard the noise outside the city tremble. Then he climbed to the top of Taiyuan City. He looked down at the bottom of the city and couldn't help but fall backwards, almost unsteady.
Li Yuanji's face was bloodless and said to his left and right: "Damn it, why did Li Chongjiu have so many people? Will he sprinkle beans and become soldiers?"
When the generals heard this, they were speechless. Li Yuanji raised his head and said, "Liu Shaoqing, Zhao Dujian, what do you think of the plan for the present?"
Liu Zhenghui and Zhao Wenke looked at each other. Zhao Wenke said, "Your Highness has to close the four gates and guard the city of Taiyuan. The city is tall and thick, so you can only wait for news from Chang'an."
Li Yuanji sighed and said, "That's all right now."
Bang!
Li Yuanji almost jumped up, and it turned out that hundreds of drums in the city were beating at the same time.
Li Yuanji rushed to the top of the city and saw the Youzhou army under the city pushing dozens of building cars covering their cowhides, almost as high as the city.
Before the tower car, there were hundreds of shield cars and a huge door rushing car. After the tower car, the crossbows with huge arrows lined up, and there were also equal number of stone throwing cars, pushing them forward and rolling in.
As for the weapons of siege, there were still foreign cavalry who could not see at a glance, surrounded by them, waiting for the city gate to break into the city.
At this time, the whistling wind sounded, and the Youzhou Army's stone-throwing cart and crossbow chariot poured countless arrows and huge rocks into the city.
The soldiers on the top of the city entered the temporary war shed to hide.
Several generals guarded Li Yuanji and said, "Your Highness, this place is a dangerous place. Please ask Your Highness to supervise the battle in the mansion."
Li Yuanji felt dryness in his mouth and said to the generals: "You should protect him with all your might and reward the soldiers guarding the city with great rewards."
After saying that, Li Yuanji walked down the city tower.
After Li Yuanji walked down the city tower, there was a loud bang on it, and then a battle shed beside him was hit by the thrown stone of the Youzhou army. Two soldiers guarding the city were directly knocked down from the city wall, and they screamed in front of Li Yuanji and fell to the city.
Seeing the two of them scattered with blood, Li Yuanji, who was on the battlefield for the first time, immediately vomited out all the things in his stomach. The guards of the Qi Prince's Mansion on the side quickly raised their shields to cover Li Yuanji's head and covered him down the city tower.
After Li Yuanji returned to the Qi Palace, he sat in the palace, but the noise outside the city was still coming to his ears.
Li Yuanji was restless, stood up and looked outside the city, then returned to the mat, feeling upset and unable to sit still. After letting the nearby servant have two glasses of wine and drink it, Li Yuanji recovered a little and ordered people to go to the top of the city to investigate the battle situation.
Not long after, the guards of the King of Qi's mansion reported to Li Chongjiu that the Youzhou army had a very fierce offensive, with Fen River blocking the east of the city, and the other party did not attack outside the city, and the other party sent heavy troops to the north and west of the city.
Now Li Siqi, Liu Zhenghui and other generals all went to the city to force the soldiers to resist desperately, and the Youzhou army had no choice but to take Jinyang City.
Hearing this, Li Yuanji breathed a little relieved.
