Chapter 911: Destroying Liu Wuzhou
Just when Yuwen Chengdu gathered Xu's troops to Changwu, Xue Ju from Longyou was also making the biggest bet in his life.
After pretending to surrender to the Chen Dynasty, Xue Ju welcomed his two sons Xue Rengao and Xue Renyue. Then, Xue Ju raised the whole country's troops and truly poured out the country. All the remaining 80,000 troops in Western Qin gathered, and then attacked Liu Wuzhou's old nest Lingwu.
Xue Ju took charge of the commander and commanded the army in person, with 40,000 cavalry and soldiers. Crown Prince Rengao was the deputy marshal, and Jin Wang Renyue was the vanguard general. Shangshu ordered Hao Yuan to be the chief of the army, General Chang Zhongju was the vanguard Sima, and General Zong Luohu was the deputy vanguard. All the other civil and military officials were also accompanied, and Xue Ju even brought his wife and concubines together.
It is obvious that for Xue Ju, if he fails this time, he will be successful. If he loses his bet, he will not even want his hometown and will directly exile in the grasslands outside the border. In fact, the Western Qin was indeed strong outside and the middle. In the past, Western Qin had almost lost more than he won and won less during the years of war with Guanzhong. Although he had a advantage in geographical advantages and secretly worked with Liu Wuzhou to suppress Yu Wen and, but Longxi was barren. In the years of continuous wars, although Xue Ju and his son fought fiercely, they were indeed not Xiang. In addition, the innate weakness of Longshang, the Western Qin State has been on the verge of now. The battle in Jitou Mountain, plus the 50,000 soldiers killed in Chang'an, was the last straw that crossed the camel.
During this raid on Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju brought all the soldiers who could fight and all the food that could eat.
But the last food can only be supported for two months.
Either take down Lingwu, destroy Liu Wuzhou, steal Liu Wuzhou's grain territory, and turn the salted fish over. Or, either die in the battlefield or starve to death on the Loess Plateau.
However, not many people know the true situation of the Western Qin army. Most of the Western Qin soldiers followed the emperor to fight and were very motivated and determined to win.
Xue Ju's first battle to attack Liu Wuzhou was a beautiful victory.
Prince Xue Rengao personally led 10,000 light cavalry to attack and attack Lingwu.
Xue Rengao had previously fought with Yuwen Chengzhi. He was defeated and captured, which was the greatest shame for him. This time he was released by Chen Jun, and he was always holding a fire in his heart. After obtaining the power to lead the troops, he immediately led 10,000 light cavalry to attack Lingwu County.
In the first battle, ten thousand light cavalry was just a charge. Xue Rengao rushed into the city before the defenders of Mingsha City came and closed the city gate. The small defenders of Mingsha County could not stop a peerless general like Xue Rengao.
In just one incense stick, Xue Rengao had already massacred all the people in the city, and then left a dilapidated and bloody city.
Singing sand, prosperity, and joy.
Within half a day, Xue Rengao defeated three cities in Lingwu County.
Then, when the Later Zhou provocations rushed back to Lingwu City to report the news, they arrived. Liu Wuzhou personally went up to the city to command the defense, but it was fine if Xue Rengao didn't see Liu Wuzhou, but he became even more angry when he saw him. During the battle of Jitou Mountain, Xue Rengao's brothers and the Western Qin army were always on the front line. Liu Wuzhou was responsible for commanding the Zhou army of the Later Army that day. However, at the critical moment, the Zhou army was unable to keep up with the support several times, which made Xue Rengao fall into the encirclement of Xu's army several times.
Finally, after the reinforcements of Xu Jun arrived, the Xue Rengao brothers fought bloody battles with the Qin army, but Liu Wuzhou, who was supposed to step forward to meet the breakthrough, abandoned the army and fled. If it weren't for Liu Wuzhou, Xue Rengao was confident that he had 50,000 troops in his hand, even if he couldn't defeat Yuwen Chengzhi, he would never have been in a humiliating experience of losing all his troops and even being captured by the enemy.
An allies in the past, and now enemies.
When the enemy meets, they are very jealous.
With a horizontal knife in his mouth, Xue Rengao took off his heavy armor and howled, climbing up the city wall with his bare shirt. During this period, he was pushed down from the city three times, but every time he was picked up by the prince guard below, and then howled and rushed to the city wall again.
Under Xue Rengao's desperate campaign, the Qin army was full of morale and only half a day of siege. Lingwu City was already broken when it was dark at dusk. Liu Wuzhou escaped at the battle again. Taking advantage of the chaos, Liu Wuzhou led a small group of soldiers and light cavalry to flew northeast.
Liu Wuzhou fled in front, Xue Rengao chased behind. Leaving the newly captured Lingwu, Xue Rengao followed closely with three thousand light cavalry.
On that night, Liu Wuzhou fled into Hongjing City, and Xue Rengao then arrived. Liu Wuzhou resisted in the middle of the night, and then at dawn, he took his guards out of the city to escape.
Liu Wuzhou fled along the Yellow River to Huaiyuan, and Xue Rengao arrived like a shadow. After resisting like this for half a day, Huaiyuan was captured and Liu Wuzhou fled again.
Crossing the Yellow River and crossing Helan Mountain, Liu Wuzhou was chased like a stray dog and fled quickly. Finally, he entered the vast Gobi Desert and fled eastward.
Three days later, Liu Wuzhou, who had only half his life left, walked out of the Gobi Desert and fled to Wuyuan County.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Xue Rengao, who had only less than 3,000 people around him, appeared again. This time, Liu Wuzhou did not even resist and directly changed his horse and fled out of the city.
Yongfeng, Jiuyuan, Wuyuan, Feng'an, Woye, Datong.
I have to say that Liu Wuzhou may not be considered a first-class war, but his ability to escape can definitely be considered a first-class ability. Although he almost fell into the hands of Xue Rengao several times, Xue Rengao always seemed to be about to catch Liu Wuzhou, but he was always a little short of it.
Finally, both sides chased and fled, and fled to Yulin City.
Seeing that Xue Rengao was about to stop until he caught him, Liu Wuzhou almost collapsed. Standing on Yuguan by the Yellow River, he looked around in a daze, but found that the loyal subordinates who were following him in the end were less than a hundred people.
But Lingwu, who had escaped from the west, fled to Yu Pass, but suddenly found that there was no way out ahead.
He seized the territory of the Liang Shidu and other allied brothers, and once owned most of the territory of Longshang and Hedong, with more than ten counties and hundreds of counties. But now, the east of Yuguan is the natural barrier of the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, it is already the Hedong area of Chen Pojun. To the south, there are the counties of Diaoyin and Shuofang. It was originally his territory, but now, Chen Pojun's flag is now planted there.
The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and there is no place for a moment.
Seeing smoke and dust rising from the west, the life-seeking Xue Rengao chased after him again. Liu Wuzhou was definitely not willing to fall into the hands of Xue Rengao. The father and son of the Xue family were more cruel than the other. Xue Rengao can be said to be the most brutal of the three father and son of the Xue family. Killing people was just a lie, but falling into his hands. Only then would you know that death was actually a kind of relief.
Skin peeling and removing bones, peeling and cramping, and the methods used by Xue Rengao are really nothing. Only when it falls into Xue Rengao's hands will it be impossible to survive or die. In the end, it will be roasted and fried by him, cooked and eaten by others.
As the smoke and dust get closer, Liu Wuzhou can even see the deep hatred under Xue Rengao's cold eyes.
snort.
For some reason, Liu Wuzhou actually smiled at this time. For no reason, he suddenly remembered the days he had been in Mayi.
At that time, he was just a captain and a subordinate of Wang Rengong. At that time, he always relied on being a wealthy family in Mayi and always felt that the eldest son of heaven and earth were the second son of heaven. Even generals like Wang Rengong were not taken seriously. He also secretly had an affair with Wang Rengong's concubine when he went to Luoyang to celebrate.
Thinking about it now, if Wang Rengong hadn't met Chen Pojun in Luoyang and never returned, I believe he might have died long ago at the hands of the man who is now praised as one of the ten marshals of Chen.
Later, Wang Rengong left and Li Shimin came. He followed Li Shimin and although he wanted to serve the Li family, the damn Li Er always looked at him. He had been through life and death for him several times, but Li Shimin treated him as nothing.
Think about it, he finally got to where he is today. It seems that Chen Pojun is the key person. If he hadn't sent someone to instigate him to Li Yuan's rebellion, maybe he was still a small general now, maybe he had died in the chaos of the end of the world. Maybe like Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and others, he is now a Chen general.
Damn Chen Pojun, all this might have been as expected. Otherwise, why would Chen Pojun's ability not see his plan? This damn Chen Pojun is the informant behind the scenes, and Liu Wuzhou is just the puppet in his hand. He is like a chess piece in Chen Pojun's hand. Although he realizes that the world is unparalleled, everything is just walking on the chessboard drawn by the human world.
Did Chen Pojun also expect the ending today?
The end of heroes! Liu Wuzhou thought of this word in his mind at the first time, but he couldn't help but wonder, can Liu Wuzhou be considered a hero? How will future generations evaluate it? How will historical books record it? Rebellious officials, traitors, traitors and generals?
Damn it, everything will be just a success or a defeat.
He raised his wrist and the sword was already on his neck, but he still couldn't put his heart on his mind after stretching out a few moves.
I don't know how many souls died under this sword at his hands, and he never hesitated. But now, it's his turn, he hesitated and timid. If others are cruel, it's better to be cruel to himself.
"Oh!" Dangling elbow!
Liu Wuzhou threw down the sword in his hand dejectedly, sneering with a self-deprecating look on his face, laughing at himself for not even having the courage to commit suicide in the end.
"Bang!"
Xue Rengao stepped onto Yu Pass with a long sword in his hand, but the last thing he saw was not Liu Wuzhou knelt down in front of him and begging for mercy, nor did he see Liu Wuzhou finally raising his sword to commit suicide. He only saw that under Yu Pass, the familiar figure jumped into the Yellow River with a piece of wood. His whole body floated and sank in the yellow river water, and finally gradually turned into a small black dot until it disappeared.
"Bah!" Xue Rengao's face looked like ice. It was not until a long time later that he spat a sputum at the Yellow River, with indescribable contempt in his eyes.
Chapter completed!
