Farmer of Shu Han

Since the change of the Shangdang, the troops of the Shangdang have been hit repeatedly, and they have not heard the news of the reinforcements from the imperial court for a long time, and their morale has long been extremely low.

General Guan, who arrived at Hedong one step ahead, made adjustments to the defense of Hedong and at the same time rushed to help Shangdang, but he didn't mention Shangdang at all.

The main reason is precisely because of Wei Yan.

Even the Central Guard couldn't suppress Wei Yan, and General Guan knew that in his own capacity, it was even more impossible for him to make Wei Yan obedient.

Otherwise, even if he had the emperor's scepter himself, if Wei Yan really wanted to force the order, if Wei Yan didn't obey, it would only lead to more confusion among the Shangdang army.

So under this premise, she can only acquiesce that the situation in Shangdang is corrupt and irretrievable, and she only wants to keep Hedong and Taiyuan first.

Wang Han's arrangement is also based on his inability to solve the current deadlock:

To save Wei Yan, I'm afraid I will fall into the trap of the bandit army.

If Wei Yan is not rescued, the morale of the army will be unstable, and it will be difficult to defend Gaoping Pass.

That being the case, it is better to let the engineering battalion return to Hedong first.

As for the impact of this move on the army, he has no way to take it into account.

After all, Wang Han's first task is to protect the engineering battalion.

As for Gaopingguan, you can abide by the rules.

If you can't keep it, you will die for your country at worst.

For Wang Hanwen and Shi, the engineering battalion is more important than Gaopingguan.

What he didn't expect was that he was arranged to return it to Wenshi, and it didn't take long before he returned it:

"General Wang!"

"Lieutenant Wen, why do you..."

Wen Shi got off his horse, stepped forward quickly, and walked up to Wang Han, holding Wang Han's arms tightly, with a look of joy on his face:

"Zhongduhu, Zhongduhu has sent someone, and the imperial court's reinforcements have arrived!"

"I know I know!"

Wang Han was also somewhat incoherent.

It's not easy.

He almost gave up, but he didn't expect the Central Guard to send someone to arrive at the last moment.

Wang Han raised his head and looked behind Wen Shi, but saw a man, surrounded by several guards, looking at him calmly with a smile on his face.

Shi Bao was originally handsome, but at this moment, when Wang Han saw this man, he felt that he was simply the most beautiful man in the world.

But seeing Wang Han step over Wen Shi, walk up to Shi Bao, and salute excitedly:

"Han pays his respects to General Zhonglang."

For Shi Bao, Wang Han not only heard of his name, but also met this person.

When General Guan swept Bingzhou, Shi Bao contributed a lot.

The Zhongdu Hu was able to clean up Hedong in a short period of time, and he also relied on this person.

After the First World War in Guanzhong, Shi Bao was awarded the title of Diannong Zhonglang General for his meritorious service, and was responsible for farming in Hedong, re-dividing fields, and cleaning up fields.

At the same time, he is also responsible for inspecting the Salt Lake in Hedong and cracking down on the smuggling of salt dealers in Hedong.

Because of his cruel methods, he was called "Stone Evil Dog" by many aristocratic families in Hedong.

Until Wei Yan attacked Shangdang, Feng Duhu asked Shi Bao to serve as the deputy general Zhonglang, and also joined the army as General Zhengdong—the general Zhengdong at this time was Jiang Wei.

Feng Duhu sent Shi Bao to Jiang Wei's side, the meaning is obvious, that is to ask Shi Bao to report the battle situation of Shangdang at any time.

This is also a normal thing, after all, the Central Commander is in charge of the internal and external military, and has the right to know the frontline warfare at any time.

And regarding the attack on Gaodu, no one would have imagined that it would turn out like this.

It's a pity that Wei Yan is probably really jealous of Feng Duhu.

When he decided to change his original plan and increase his efforts to attack Xiagaodu, he used Shi Bao's familiarity with Hedong as an excuse to send Shi Bao back to Hedong to collect and supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

The first rank of the official ranks crushes people, not to mention that Wei Yan is the supreme commander of this battle.

Shi Bao could only obey the military order and turn back to the east of the river.

Unexpectedly, before he had collected enough food and grass in Hedong, Wei Yan would let Jiang Wei lead the troops back to Tongguan.

Shi Bao joined the army as General Zhengdong, and logically speaking, he was going to Tongguan with Jiang Wei.

However, Wei Yan did not send anyone to replace Shi Bao, so Jiang Wei naturally did not dare to take him away easily.

Unexpectedly, the situation in Shangdang changed suddenly, as if overnight, the host and guest changed positions.

At that time, Wei Yan was only focused on turning the situation back, so how could he remember who Shi Bao was?

With no military orders, no troops at hand, and the tense situation in Hedong, Shi Bao couldn't do anything except stare blankly.

Then there is the expansion of seats in the Dahan United Reserve Bureau. Every family in the east of the river has money to contribute money, grain to produce, and strong to contribute.

After the military order from Chang'an came, Shi Bao, who was familiar with Hedong, finally had no conflicts this time.

Because he wanted to assist the governor of Hedong Jiang Bin and General Anhan Zhang Bao and others to prepare food and grass for the army coming from Chang'an.

General Guan quickly aided Taiyuan without worrying about food and grass, precisely because Hedong had made preparations in advance.

It wasn't until Feng Duhu came to Tongguan to take over the entire battle situation that Shi Bao finally found his organization.

Feng Duhu was still waiting for Li Qiuju to lead the army to come, when he learned that Gaoping Pass had not been lost, and he had no extra troops on hand.

So Shi Bao and Hu Zun were ordered to lead the Tuchen Army, one of the Chinese troops left by General Guan in Hedong, to go to Gaoping Pass first.

Although the assault army is a new army, there are also some veterans in the army as the foundation.

Facing elite soldiers of bandits, field battles may not be suitable, but if you defend according to danger, there shouldn't be a big problem.

The most important thing is that these days, the Shangdang army has scattered and lost.

The life and death of the coach Wei Yan is unknown, and Wei Chang, who was supposed to stay at Gaoping Pass, is isolated and helpless outside the pass.

The soldiers in Guancheng, the whole army fell into a state of confusion and low morale.

Shi Bao and Hu Zun led the arrival of reinforcements, as if giving them a shot in the arm, so that they finally saw hope.

But seeing Shi Bao help Wang Han up:

"General Wang, thank you for your hard work!"

While supporting Wang Han, he patted Wang Han's arm vigorously.

Turning around and looking around, Shi Bao said to Wang Han again:

"General Wang, war is the most important thing, so the hypocrisy will be avoided. Please tell me first, what is the current situation of the battle."

Wang Han didn't dare to neglect, and quickly explained the battle situation in detail.

After listening to Shi Bao, he walked to the height of Guancheng and looked down at the Wei army below Guancheng.

After confirming that the Wei army had not made preparations to attack the city, Shi Bao turned around again and said to Wang Han:

"General Wang, please invite all the generals and schools above Qu Zhang in the army to come here."

When Wang Han heard this, he quickly responded.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think to himself, this General Shi acts quite resolutely.

When all the generals arrived, Shi Bao stood on a high place and said straight to the point:

"Soldiers and soldiers, a certain is the Deputy Army Zhonglang General, who was ordered by the Central Capital Protector to come to reinforce Gaoping Pass!"

Although it was rumored that the imperial court had sent reinforcements, but when they saw the leader of the reinforcements with their own eyes, there was still a commotion among the crowd.

Shi Bao held the Tiger Talisman to show the public, and continued:

"A powerful enemy is at hand, and all the officers and men are in danger, regardless of danger, and the casualties are heavy and they will not retreat. The court knows the bravery of the officers and men!"

"The guards of the Central Capital sent me here, and they have a special saying: The failure of the Shangdang is not because the soldiers did not die, but because the thieves were too cunning."

"The officers and men of the Governor's Mansion in Hedong, facing an enemy several times stronger, defended Gaoping Pass in the face of danger. Their loyalty and bravery are exemplary."

...

These words showed that the imperial court did not give up on them, and the Zhongduhu did not blame them, and even had the intention of commending them.

The eyes of all the generals, almost everyone, showed a long-lost light, and the commotion grew even bigger.

Seeing this, Shi Bao drew out his long sword and swore:

"A certain bad talent was entrusted by the guardian of the Central Capital to guard Gaoping Pass with the lords. I hope that I can work together with all the soldiers to defeat the thieves and make new achievements!"

"The thief does not retreat, and I will not retreat. If the thief retreats, then I will finally be able to drink the wine of triumph with the lords!"

The morale of the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion in Hedong, whose morale was low, finally began to rebound.

Triumph?

Do they still have hope of victory?

Shi Bao yelled: "The Protector of the Central Government has now assembled tens of thousands of armored soldiers in Tongguan, and the army will arrive soon. By then, we will surely wipe out the thieves and return in triumph!"

"Triumph?"

"Triumph!"

He showed his identity, expressed his determination to stick to Gaoping Pass, brought the attitude of the court, and added the reinforcements coming.

Let the remaining soldiers of the Hedong Dudu's Mansion be refreshed.

After boosting the morale of the soldiers and appeasing the army, Shi Bao asked the generals to go back to reorganize the army and obey orders at any time.

Wang Han was left alone, and said:

"When I arrived, General Wang asked Lieutenant Wen to lead the army back, and he was preparing the army to leave the city. Could it be that he has the will to die?"

Wang Han was silent for a while, then smiled wryly and sighed:

"If Zhonglang hadn't been in time in the future, I'm afraid I have nothing to do. What else can I do except fight to the death?"

"Oh?" Shi Bao frowned, and looked at Wang Han meaningfully, "Then how is General Wang feeling now?"

Wang Han didn't notice Shi Bao's eyes, and just said:

"The guardian of Zhongdu sent General Zhonglang over here. I think he must have made a decision, and the general will follow the arrangements of General Zhonglang in the end."

"Including continuing to leave the city with the whole army?"

"Huh?" Wang Han finally felt that something was wrong when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked at Shi Bao, "What does Zhonglang mean by this?"

Shi Bao smiled, turned around, looked under Guancheng again, and cast his eyes on Wei Jun's camp, with a deep tone:

"General Wang, please see that the current arrangement of the thieves is to emphasize the north and despise the south."

"Judging from this arrangement, the thieves not only want to prevent General Wei from entering the city, but also strictly prevent the defenders in the pass from leaving the pass to respond."

Wang Han followed.

Over the past few days, he has seen the layout of the Wei army under the city countless times.

"What General Zhong Lang said is true. But even if we know what the thief is up to, we still have to find a way to rescue Old General Wei, otherwise..."

The words are not finished, but Shi Bao understands.

"But it's different now." Shi Bao interrupted, "General Hu and I led the army, but the thief..."

Shi Bao stretched out his hand and pointed at Guan Cheng, "The thief still hasn't responded."

Shi Bao turned her head and looked at Wang Han:

"This is the opportunity!"

Wang Han was taken aback immediately: "What does General Zhonglang mean?"

Shi Bao said word by word: "Go out of the city, break the thief!"

Wang Han was stunned, a little unbelievable:

"But General Zhonglang, the soldiers have just arrived here."

"That's why I need your help." Shi Bao emphasized his tone, "Even you can't think of us doing this, so the thief can't even think of it."

The arrival of the reinforcements must not be concealed from the Wei thieves outside the city.

When it comes to tomorrow, as soon as they take precautions, the opportunity will be fleeting.

"I brought back the engineering battalion, so now you have three thousand elite soldiers, General Wang."

Shi Bao began to talk about his plan, "So we can send troops to the north to meet Old General Wei according to your original plan, General Wang."

Wang Han didn't speak, he was waiting for Shi Bao to tell his next plan.

Shi Bao turned to look to the other side.

Hu Zun, who has been standing there without speaking, clasped his fists:

"General Zhonglang, but please tell me."

Shi Bao smiled slightly:

"But it was not General Wang who broke through to the north, but General Hu, and the Chen army under his command."

Upon hearing this, Wang Han hurriedly said:

"General Zhonglang, Tu Chen's army has just arrived, and the soldiers are so tired, how can they take up the heavy responsibility?"

"The three thousand elite soldiers in the engineering battalion have been stored for a long time. It is time to use them. Let me go!"

Shi Bao pressed Wang Han and shook his head:

"General Wang, it is precisely because your three thousand elites have other uses, that's why I let the Tu Chen army break through to the north."

"Is there any other use for him?"

"That's right." Shi Bao stood at the top of the city, pointing to the south, "See if you see that the bandit's banner is in the south even though he's focused on the north."

"I know that General Wang's 3,000 elite troops are dispatched by the Zhongdu Protectorate. They are rare elite soldiers."

"So," Shi Bao emphasized, "I want you to rush south unexpectedly when the thieves think we are going to meet Old General Wei and entangle with General Hu with all our strength."

Hearing this, Hu Zun and Wang Han finally understood:

"Zhonglang will show this to the east if he wants to go west?"

"No, this is to show the north to the south!"

Shi Bao stared at the two of them closely:

"Sudden Chen's army is a feint attack. If you use too much force, you will be trapped in a tight siege. If you don't use enough force, you will not be able to attract the thieves, and it will be difficult to retreat back into the city."

"As General Wang said, the Chen army has just arrived, and it is a new army, so General Hu, you have to be very careful."

Hu Zun heard the words, but smiled freely:

"General Zhonglang can rest assured. Although the Tuchen army is a new army, it is for elite soldiers like the Wudang army of the tiger infantry army."

"It's just a feint attack, and it's not a real breakthrough. I have led the Chen army since the formation of the army. No one is more familiar with them than me. I know it well."

Shi Bao nodded: "That's good, don't worry, I will pay attention to the two generals at the top of the city, and if there is any discrepancy, I will go to support immediately."

"You two generals, also pay attention to the head of Guancheng City. I will send you news at any time."

Without further ado, the three of them, Shi Bao, Hu Zun, Wang Han, are not mediocre, and they all know the truth of the speed of soldiers.

After the discussion is over, take action immediately.

When Sima Shigang learned that there seemed to be a support army at Gaoping Pass, but it was unknown how many people there were.

After closing the gate, a Han army rushed down, with a very clear purpose, heading towards the hill guarded by the remnants of the Han army.

Sensing the intention of the Han army, Master Sima's first reaction was:

"Not good! The bandit army is trying to take advantage of our surprise and take Wei Yan back to the pass!"

According to common sense, when the reinforcements first arrived, most of them had to take a rest.

One is to restore physical strength, and the other is to readjust the defense.

The thief army acted so unreasonably, it was obvious that they wanted to catch themselves off guard.

Don't forget, the original defenders in Gaoping Pass intended to rush out.

"Come on, pass on our military orders immediately, and then dispatch troops to support them. Be sure to stop the bandits!"

"Here!"

After the messenger left, Master Sima frowned, with a little worry in his eyes, and a look of fear on his face at the same time:

"It came too fast, how could the thief's reinforcements come so fast?"

This was his first time leading an army, and based on the principle of being cautious in everything, Master Sima became a little hesitant.
