Chapter 2158 Guizi Juan forces the guest to overwhelm the host, and the guest is the main one
"You don't need to look up to those chaotic troops, I think as long as you maintain high mobility, you can play a big role." Man Gui's face showed a touch of determination, "We can't escape now, we can only stick to it, relying on what you said The Tongguan Guards can come, but in seven or eight days, if we want to defend, if we don't take some measures to attack these rebellious troops that threaten Siyan City, weaken them, and make them unable to organize an attack for a while, it will be difficult for us Wait till then."
Duan Xipeng glanced at Man Gui. He didn't expect that this person really had some indomitable confidence and fighting spirit. He really thought he could last seven or eight days?
But in any case, this is a good thing. After thinking about it, Duan Xipeng said again: "Anyi City is only a few miles away from Siyan City. According to what you said, there are only a thousand people and strong people. It is definitely impossible to hold on. It is better to persuade them to give up and concentrate on the city." Wouldn't it be better to stick to it in Siyan City?"
Man Gui hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult, everyone has their own responsibilities, and how could the magistrate of Anyi listen to me?"
Duan Xipeng thought for a while, "How about this, you send someone to Anyi and tell the magistrate of Anyi that if you feel that the city of Anyi can't be defended, let him quickly bring people to guard Yancheng, and we will work together to defend the city. Needless to say the importance of Hecangyan, he should understand. In addition, you can also go to the county to let the wind go, mainly for those big households, as long as one family can provide thirty or fifty Ding soldiers for our use, Our Division Yancheng accepts these gentry, gathers strength, and fights together,..."
Man Gui glanced at the other party in surprise. This guy had an idea in the blink of an eye, but this made him a little moved. One more person would give him more strength, and maybe he would be able to delay the arrival of the so-called Tongguan Guard by one more point. Opportunity, now can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to try it." Man Gui gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid that once the news spreads in the city, the defense of Anyi City will collapse."
"That's not our responsibility. Who can say that we spread the news? Maybe the rebel army deliberately spread it to disturb the morale of the army so that they can take down Anyi City?" Duan Xipeng shrugged.
Man Gui can only admit that he is not as brazen as this guy, but he also has to admit that this is the only way to protect himself.
While Man Gui and Duan Xipeng were racking their brains to figure out how to defend Siyan City for as long as possible, Zhao Qianshan and Wang Wenyan had already led more than 2,000 Tongguan guards across Fenglingdu.
Fenglingdu is one of the three major ferry crossings of the Yellow River, the throat of the three provinces, so the ferry is very large and there are many ferry boats. Although there are more than 2,000 soldiers, they all crossed into Shanxi in just one day.
From this point of view, the rebel army has not yet infiltrated this area, which makes Zhao Qianshan and Wang Wenyan feel at ease. Yudu, it is really difficult to cross the river.
Watching the army pass through Fenglingdu, the merchants on both sides of Fenglingdu felt a little relieved, and started talking at the ferry.
Although the purpose of this army's northward crossing is not clear, the news of the chaos in the east of the river cannot be concealed from these well-informed merchants.
There is a lock and key at Tongguan on the Shaanxi side. Although the eastern part of Xi'an Mansion is also in chaos and has never spread to Henan, the Shaanxi rebel army crossed the river from Longmendu and Fenyindu, and captured most of Pingyang Mansion in one fell swoop. Many of these merchants who crossed the river realized that the situation was not right, so they fled south from the states and counties of Pingyang Prefecture, or crossed the river from Pujin, or went south from Fenglingdu.
After crossing the river, the army rushed all the way to Puzhou.
What Wang Wenyan and Zhao Qianshan are most worried about is the fall of Puzhou. It can be said that Pingyang Prefecture is over, and the two places of Shanxi and Shaanxi can be easily integrated into one, and even affect the whole of Henan, the land of the three prefectures north of the Yellow River, and the land of the Central Plains. There will be chaos.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Puzhou is still under the government's control, which means that Pujindu is also under the government's control. This is the best news.
Fengling crossed to the seventy miles of Puzhou, and the army traveled all the way north. Along the way, many business travelers and refugees were already seen going south, which made Wang Wenyan feel more nervous.
Shanxi also began to be chaotic.
Shanxi in the past was like a window paper covered with a layer of paper. Before it was pierced, everyone could barely live. After all, the situation in Shanxi is slightly better than that in Shaanxi, and the power of the government is still high. Even if there are some hungry and disaster victims making troubles, they can be suppressed so as not to cause too much trouble, but when the Shaanxi rebel army suddenly crossed the Yellow River and came in, everything changed.
With the fall of Hejin and Ronghe counties, the majesty of the entire Shanxi government was completely punctured at once. In addition, the long-simmering victims and hungry people broke out completely, and soon they were coerced by the Shaanxi rebel army. Together, they formed a torrent, sweeping towards the east and south. It was against this background that Jishan, Wanquan, Jiangzhou, Linjin, and Yishi fell one after another.
The army of Shanxi Town moved southward slowly, and after experiencing the great defeat after the First World War in Shandong, the spirit of Shanxi Town seemed to be defeated all of a sudden, and it took a long time to return to its original state.
Although Chai Guozhu has been trying his best to recover after being transferred to Shanxi Town, but it has to be said that Su Shengdu's failure has shaken the morale of the entire Shanxi Town army, and the training of the guards of the Shanxi Capital Division is not satisfactory. After being admitted to Shanxi Town There was something obviously out of rhythm, which was also reflected in the constant delays and obstacles on the way south.
The staggering pace of the troops going south in Shanxi Town directly led to the low morale of the guards stationed in Zapingyang Mansion.
The fall of Jiangzhou is the most obvious result. If the battalion of guards in Linfen City can decisively attack for reinforcements, the rebel army may not be able to break through the high-walled Jiangzhou. Without foreign aid, the battalion of guards in Jiangzhou It still persisted for half a month before it fell.
The closer you get to Puzhou, the more people and merchants are running around on the roads and in the fields. Not everyone is willing to join the rebel army, but if there is a little hope, they will not let themselves become rebels Bandits, so they would rather become a refugee than easily become a disorderly army.
However, when you become a refugee and can't find enough to eat, turning into a rioting army and plundering to survive is the only way.
Until then, they will still go through a difficult period of suffering.
Both Zhao Qianshan and Wang Wenyan understood the reason for this. These displaced refugees and disaster victims who were fleeing in front of them still had a glimmer of hope for the government. They wandered around, hoping to find a place where they could live and eat. With a bowl of porridge for survival, none of them are willing to join the rebel army, but this hope will gradually become extravagant, and then dashed.
Watching Wang Wenyan sigh and say nothing, Zhao Qianshan was amused, but he still had some respect for the governor's staff.
At least a person who has a little compassion for the common people is worthy of respect, even if his own compassion has been worn away in the officialdom and army for so many years, but this does not mean that he does not recognize it in his heart This point, this also seems to indicate that the Governor seems to have a little benevolence towards these people who are like ants.
As night fell, the army still didn't dare to stop and rest. If you arrive early at this time, you will have more hope. As long as you control Puzhou before it falls, you will be able to hold onto the southwestern Shanxi area and have a foothold. , to avoid the complete fall of the entire Southwest Shanxi.
The scouts sent to Puzhou brought back good news. Puzhou is still in the hands of the guards, but the situation is indeed in a precarious situation. The rebel army has begun to besiege Jiezhou and Anyi, and Wenxi and Xiaxian have also appeared around. The situation of the rebellion army in Puzhou is slightly better, but there are also scouts from the rebellion army.
It was already Maoshi when the army arrived at the city of Puzhou, and the soldiers who had been walking for a day and a night could not bear it anymore. Fortunately, they finally arrived in Puzhou.
Wang Wenyan was not polite when he saw the garrison in Puzhou, and asked for enough hot water, porridge soup and steamed cakes immediately.
The garrison surnamed Zhu was both pleasantly surprised and a little surprised when the Tongguan guard came across the river to help him. When he heard that Wang Wenyan was approaching Feng Keng, the governor of Shaanxi on behalf of the right servant of the Ministry of War, his attitude changed again, and he became very respectful and kind. Flatter.
A series of orders for the subordinates to prepare hot water porridge soup and steamed cakes, and at the same time invited Wang Wenyan and Zhao Qianshan to rest in his specially prepared mansion.
"Okay, Mr. Zhu, I'm afraid we don't have much time to rest. In theory, the Puzhou Institute should be responsible for the security and defense of the entire southern part of Pingyang, right?"
Wang Wenyan knew that the guy in front of him was a slippery character who could play the game according to the wind. If he didn't surrender this guy, he would have a lot of trouble in the future, especially in Tongguanwei, where the army was a guest army, and there were only more than 2,000 people. Under the circumstances, the strength is obviously insufficient, and this fellow must be firmly grasped to complete the task assigned by the governor.
Zhu's surname changed slightly, but it was a fact that could not be denied: "What do you mean by Mr. Wang's words?"
"Puzhou, Linjin, Jiezhou, Yishi, Ronghe, Wanquan, Ruicheng, Anyi, Xiaxian, Hejin, Wenxi, Yuanqu, if I remember correctly, the twelve states in the south of Pingyang The counties are the defensive areas of the Puzhou Institute. Except for the twelve prefectures and counties, it is the defense line of the Pingyang Guards. But now Linjin, Yishi, Hejin, Ronghe, and Wanquan have fallen. If there is no accident, Wen Xi , Anyi, and Xia counties will also be lost, which means that eight of the twelve counties in the southern part of Pingyang Prefecture will fall into the hands of the rebels..."
In one sentence, Zhu's surname Shoubei was covered with cold sweat and his face was pale.
