Inside the army camp - General Wang Shijie is waiting for news in the camp. This time Wang Shijie sent his deputy general Li Baosheng, leading 20,000 officers and soldiers to carry out a night attack on the rear of the rebels. It is not known how the progress is now. Logically speaking, deputy general Li Baosheng I have been out for several days, and I should have some news now.
At this time, a soldier came to report that Vice General Li was back. After Li Baosheng returned to the camp, he quickly reported to Wang Shijie. After seeing Wang Shijie, Li Baosheng first knelt down alone and clasped his fists, and then said to Wang Shijie: The final general is incompetent and has failed to complete the task. The mission assigned by the general, please punish me!
General Wang Shijie was still very angry that Li Baosheng had not completed this mission, but there was no use being angry now. Besides, the battlefield was unpredictable and accidents could happen. Wang Shijie did not blame Li Baosheng too much, but just asked him to do it in the future. Be careful in your behavior.
In order to increase their strength, the rebels were recruiting young men everywhere in Lingzhou. Wu Xian, the housekeeper of Guo Huaiyi's family, was captured by the rebels. Guo Huaiyi was not at home for something at that time.
When Wu Xian was captured, he told the rebels that his master was a good friend of the rebel military adviser Zhou Pingchang and asked them to let him go because of this relationship. However, the rebels did not believe what Wu Xian said at all and thought that Wu Xian It's because I don't want to be tricked into talking nonsense.
Wu Xian is the son of the old housekeeper of the Guo family. The old housekeeper passed away due to illness a few years ago. Before his death, he entrusted his son to Guo Huaiyi. Guo Huaiyi made his son the housekeeper. The old housekeeper had a very close relationship with the Guo family during his lifetime. His son Wu Xian was named his son with the help of Guo Huaiyi, who also regarded Wu Xian as his godson.
After Guo Huaiyi returned home, he learned that Wu Xian had been captured by the rebels. He was blaming himself and blaming himself for not rushing home in time. After Wu Xian was captured, Guo Huaiyi planned to go to Zhou Pingchang's important people in person. This can be seen from this. Guo Huaiyi attaches great importance to Wu Xian.
Guo Huaiyi drove to Jiangyan County. After arriving in Jiangyan County, Guo Huaiyi began to inquire about Zhou Pingchang's address. Guo Huaiyi also asked Li Yong and others who happened to be passing by to inquire about the situation.
At this time, a man named Wang Hu in Li Yong's team suddenly said, "Mr. Guo, why are you here?" Guo Huaiyi looked at Wang Hu and felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Wang Hu looked at Guo Huaiyi as if he didn't recognize him, so he said to Guo Huaiyi: Mr. Guo, I am Wang Hu from Wangjia Village, Lishang County. You don't remember me?
When Wang Hu said this, Guo Huaiyi seemed to suddenly remember, and then Guo Huaiyi said to Wang Hu: It turns out to be Wang Hu from Wangjiacun! I haven't seen him grow so big in a few years.
Wang Hu asked Guo Huaiyi what was going on here? Guo Huaiyi told Wang Hu that he came to see Zhou Pingchang. When Wang Hu heard that Mr. Guo came to see Zhou Pingchang, Wang Hu then told Guo Huaiyi that he knew where Zhou Pingchang lived. If Guo Huaiyi needed him, he could take him there. Guo Huaiyi When I heard that this relationship was good, I just needed someone to guide me.
Wang Hu informed his commander Li Yong, and then took Guo Huaiyi to Zhou Pingchang's house. However, Zhou Pingchang was not at home at this time, and the guard outside the gate had not seen Zhou Pingchang, so Guo Huaiyi was not allowed to arrive. Waiting in the house, Guo Huaiyi had to wait outside the gate. Guo Huaiyi waited until Zhou Pingchang came back in the evening.
When Zhou Pingchang returned to his house, he saw his friend Guo Huaiyi waiting for him outside the gate, so he quickly apologized to him. Zhou Pingchang said that he had something to do and kept Brother Guo waiting for a long time, and then he enthusiastically invited Guo Huaiyi to the house. Sit inside.
The two came to the living room. Zhou Pingchang asked his servants to bring tea. However, Guo Huaiyi was not in the mood to drink tea at this time. Guo Huaiyi told Zhou Pingchang that he would drink tea later. He came to see him for important matters this time. Zhou Pingchang also knew that. Guo Huaiyi came all the way to find him, there must be something important.
Zhou Pingchang asked Guo Huaiyi to tell him what he had to say without being polite. Guo Huaiyi told Zhou Pingchang that the rebels had captured his housekeeper not long ago, and he came to ask Zhou Pingchang for help this time. When Zhou Pingchang heard this, it turned out to be this ,
Then Zhou Pingchang asked Guo Huaiyi to rest assured that he would definitely help him find the housekeeper, but it was getting late now. Zhou Pingchang asked Guo Huaiyi to stay at the house first, and would send someone to find him tomorrow? Guo Huaiyi thought that this was all he could do now.
At night, the imperial soldiers and horses came to sneak attack the rebels again. After the last sneak attack, the rebels had already taken precautions. When Wei Wang Liu Jinrong found out, he felt that the imperial soldiers and horses were too wanton. They attacked him several times and it was really unbearable. .
Liu Jinrong personally led the team to reinforce this time. After the rebel reinforcements arrived, the officers and soldiers quickly retreated when they saw that the situation was not good. Liu Jinrong thought that my territory was not a place where you could come and leave whenever you wanted, so Liu Jinrong led his people and chased him. Go up and kill him.
This time, Lieutenant General Li Baosheng led the 20,000-horse army to attack. When Li Baosheng saw the rebel reinforcements arriving, he quickly ordered the army to retreat. When Liu Jinrong saw that the army was about to run away, he personally led 50,000 men to pursue it.
Liu Jinrong was bound to eliminate the official army that sneaked up on him this time. Liu Jinrong led 50,000 troops to pursue the official army all the way. The rebels pursued them to a place called Eagle Beak Cliff, where there are cliffs on both sides. There is a road in the middle, and it is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends.
When all the rebels entered the Eagle's Mouth Cliff, many officers and soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the Eagle's Mouth Cliff. Liu Jinrong saw that there was no ambush, so he quickly ordered a retreat. At this time, the officers and soldiers who were ambushing on both sides pushed down the Eagle's Mouth Cliff. The stones prepared in advance and the big stones rolled down blocked the rebels' way back. When the rebels saw that their way back was blocked, they immediately became a mess.
Liu Jinrong finally escaped. Wang Shijie personally led the officers and soldiers to pursue him. Liu Jinrong could only flee in panic. The officers and soldiers were about to catch up with Liu Jinrong.
At this time, Li Yong, who had escaped with Liu Jinrong, saw that the king was in danger. At this time, Li Yong could not care so much and rushed forward to fight with Wang Shijie. The two fought for dozens of rounds and found that neither could do anything to the other. , Wang Shijie was secretly surprised at this time. He didn't expect that there was someone in the rebel army who could fight so well that he could even fight with him.
At this time, Li Yong was about to be surrounded by the surrounding officers and soldiers. If he tried to find a way to escape, it might be too late. Then Li Yong made a feint and took the opportunity to pat the horse and run away. By this time, Wei Wang Liu Jinrong had already run away, and Wang Shijie did not continue to pursue him. , Wei King Liu Jinrong led the remaining troops and fled back to Jiangyan County in a hurry.
In this battle, only a few of the 50,000 rebels fled back with Liu Jinrong. General Dong Wei of Zhennan and General Wang Danian of Zhendong were killed in the battle. The garrison of Jiangyan County is now only about 20,000. The rebels this time are considered Total failure.
The failure of the army's last sneak attack inspired Wang Shijie. Wang Shijie first found a good place for an ambush. Then Wang Shijie sent his deputy Li Baosheng to lead 20,000 people to sneak attack, while he led the remaining eight people. Thousands of people went to Yingzui Cliff to ambush.
Wang Shijie was still thinking that if the rebels were not fooled this time, he would make another sneak attack. However, deputy general Li Baosheng successfully attracted the main force of the rebels to Eagle Beak Cliff this time.
This time the Yingzui Cliff ambush against the officers and soldiers was quite successful. The 50,000 rebels were basically wiped out. The next thing Wang Shijie had to do was to capture Jiangyan County and completely eliminate the rebels.
