The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

It probably lasted less than half an hour, and the remainder of this battle was finally cleared up.

Ruzhou is located in the Central Plains, in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and is still a certain distance away from the confrontation between the two countries along the Huaihe River.

Bai Gui led Shengyi's army to Ruzhou this time, and it was considered that he had gone deep alone.

So they didn't dare to delay for too long.

After the fight, retreat!

Wan Yanliang was also confident that he had the advantage of ten thousand iron cavalry against Bai Gui's one thousand Song cavalry, so he did not notify the nearby Jin Kingdom defenders, otherwise the battle would be difficult to fight.

Of course, after the war, Bai Gui also sent out a team of rangers to try to prevent the Jin army from obtaining the battle report information from this side. But this obviously cannot last long, and the ban will last for one to two hours at most.

"Is this Wan Yanliang's corpse?"

As the march was approaching, the soldiers of Shengyi Army finally found Wan Yanliang's body from a pile of corpses in a sea of ​​​​blood, and transported it to Bai Gui.

"The seals and ribbons that were left behind in Beijing were collected from this corpse. It should be correct."

The guard replied. .

Bai Gui nodded.

It wasn't that he had any doubts about the corpse.

In fact, from the stage when he "fell into" the Jin Army's formation and shot Wan Yanliang to death with his bow and arrow, he had already captured Wan Yan Liang's aura, appearance, etc. in his mind. It was trampled by men and horses, but the head was well preserved, and it was definitely not so unrecognizable.

Shengyi's troops immediately retreated.

A day and a half later.

After a tight march, we arrived at the camp of the West Route Army on the south bank of the Huaihe River.

The West Route Army was stationed in Guangzhou, which is close to the Huaihe River.

Bai Gui, dressed in military armor, went to the camp.

In the camp.

When Liu Qi heard the battle report, his eyes showed a hint of joy, but as a commander, his expression remained calm and did not change much.

As generals, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

"You intercepted Wan Yanliang in Ruzhou and stayed behind in Beijing. It was a great victory. Cutting off Jin Wushu's wing will be of great benefit to our army in this battle."

"But since you are the vanguard, this strategy is still too dangerous..."

He pondered for a while, "I will replenish the troops and horses for you. In addition, I will give you the Tabai Army under my command. The Tabai Army is an elite division. Although there are only a thousand and five horses, you have to be careful. use."

Speaking of this, he also showed a hint of distress.

The soldiers and horses who can be called the White Army are all elite without exception. "Tao" means "check and step", which means survey and search. "Bai" means "bo", which means "overgrown, intertwined and inaccessible". Because of the lush vegetation, it is easy to hide enemies. Therefore, Tabai's alliance means "detecting the enemy's hiding place".

In other words, the Tabai Army are all scouts, and the scouts are undoubtedly the best among the best.

If it were any other time, Liu Qijian would not have handed over the only elite cavalry in his hands to Bai Gui. But now, Bai Guigang donated 3,000 horses to the West Route Army. With these horses and intensive training for a period of time, there will be another team of elite cavalry. Although not as good as the previous Tabai Army, they can be reused.

An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.

What's more, he is a fierce general who is good at riding and fighting.

At this time, concentrating limited maneuvering power in the hands of one person is what the commander should do. Picking and searching will not accomplish anything big.

"Thank you uncle."

Bai Gui cupped his hands and said.

"We are in a military tent now. What do we call uncle?"

Liu Qi frowned and scolded.

"Yes, Marshal."

Bai Gui accepted the order and didn't take it seriously.

Now there are only him and Liu Qi in the tent. Calling him uncle can enhance their relationship. Although Liu Qi reprimanded him openly, in fact, he could see that Liu Qi was also happy in his heart.

In the feudal era, those who could serve as the commander-in-chief of an army would have both public and selfish motives. The public mind represents the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, while the selfish mind means cultivating confidants. Without confidants, it is like the human body without limbs and bones, and the movements are insensitive. Because only trusted followers will obey orders without question.

"Tell me about the process of intercepting and killing Wanyan Liang Wanqi..."

Liu Qi stroked his beard and chuckled, then said.

It seemed like just an ordinary question in the military tent. But the meaning of Bai Gui's uncle is self-explanatory, that is, his nephew is a confidant of his coach Liu Qi, and he is the only one who follows his lead.

Even if he has no selfish intentions, he is still satisfied.

"The process of this battle has been written down in the report."

"Please ask the commander to check."

Bai Gui took out a roll of silk from his arms and handed it to Liu Qi.

He had known that Liu Qi would ask this question, so he had prepared a report early.

"This report of yours..., although the lyrics are simple, it may show your skills."

Liu Qi only read the first few sentences of the memorial and couldn't help but praise it.

He has been the head coach and has not seen such a pleasing report for a long time. Although the diction of this report is not gorgeous, the words are appropriate and rhyme, and it is a pleasure to read every sentence.

This is not because Bai Gui cannot write articles without gorgeous rhetoric, but because military reports are mainly concise.

But concisely..., compared with the memorial written by a rude warrior, and the memorial written by Bai Gui, a scholar and champion who has learned eight-legged essays and poetry, there will obviously be a big gap.

When reading the report, Liu Qi raised his head and glanced at Bai Gui, then looked back at the report.

Fighting is so "reckless", but writing articles is so good.

The difference is really unbelievable.

"This Wan Yanliang is quite interesting."

"I want to imitate Cao Mengde and tell me not to hurt you..., which leads to a big mistake and a complete defeat."

Liu Qi chuckled after reading the report.

In the report, Bai Gui mentioned that when he interrogated Wanyan Liang's personal guards afterwards, the guards mentioned this, which was also a major reason why Bai Gui was able to rush into the enemy's formation.

"The Jin people are arrogant and have always looked down upon me, the Song people."

"Wan Yanliang suffered such a catastrophe this time, and it is within common sense."

When Bai Gui heard this, his face looked strange for a moment, then returned to normal and said.

Wan Yanliang is indeed very similar to Cao Mengde. Although he does not have Cao Mengde's abilities, Cao Mengde has all the same hobbies. After Hailing King Wan Yanliang ascended the throne, he once said: "I have three ambitions. All major national affairs are my responsibility. One is: to command troops from far away, and hold the ruler's leadership to hold accountable those who have committed crimes. To get the most beautiful woman in the world and marry her is the third act."

Although the thief Cao is dead, the ambition of the thief Cao will last forever!

"If his father Wanyan Zongqian were in charge of this Wanqi, it wouldn't be like this."

"It can be seen that the bravery of the Jin people will not last long."

Liu Qi nodded.

Wan Yanliang was a member of the third generation of the Jin Dynasty, so he underestimated the enemy and led the advance. Let Bai Gui "pick up" a big bargain. Of course, not everyone can pick up this big bargain. It can only be said that compared to the second generation of Jin such as Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu), the third generation of Jin such as Wanyan Liang is much easier to fight.

…

Liu Qi is a famous general.

After Bai Gui's vanguard army was supplemented by 1,500 fine cavalry from Ta Bai's army, it had reached 4,000 cavalry. As a result, the mobility of the West Route Army was greatly increased. Under Liu Qi's skillful command, the Huaixi Jin Army suffered repeated setbacks.

Han Shizhong's main army in Huaidong fought steadily. Although three or four states fell, they successfully dragged the main force of the Jin army, led by Jin Wushu, in Huaidong, and the two armies fell into a stalemate.

After several rounds of battles.

Bai Gui also rose to fame on the battlefield.

Become a soldier in the situation.

What is the military situation?

Ban Gu said in "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi": "The situation is like thunder and wind, coming later and arriving first, leaving home and leaving home, changing inconstantly, and defeating the enemy with light illness."

In terms of tactics, when fighting, grasp the "action" and "momentum", so as to defeat the army and kill the generals, defeat the masses and seize the ground. Success is returned, and victory is won by strength.

A few months later, Bai Gui achieved great success. Because he was a civil servant in Tongzi Branch and was young, he had established such great achievements. The Southern Song Dynasty court also wanted to show the "divine right of imperial power" by awarding and publicizing Bai Gui's military exploits. ", "Destiny is in the Song Dynasty", so Bai Gui established military exploits several times and never failed. By July of the 18th year of Shaoxing, he had been promoted to the post of envoy to the northwest of Beijing due to his merits.

Zhizhishi was a temporary military commander in the border areas of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, they were not often set up, but in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, more and more envoys were set up. This official position is to be in charge of the military affairs of various states in this area.

As for the North Beijing Road, most of it is located in the Kingdom of Jin. The remaining states are still the places that Bai Gui, as the vanguard general, recaptured in many battles in the past few months.

However, the Zhizhi Envoy was only sent by Bai Gui, and Bai Gui's rank was only General Ningyuan, who was in the fifth rank.

"There is no danger to guard on the North Beijing Road..."

"The imperial court issued an order, ordering me to seize Tongguan as soon as possible and enter Qin."

In mid-July, Bai Gui summoned his generals and made a speech.

During these months of hard work, the troops under his command grew stronger and stronger. At first, he only had a small army under his command, Sheng Yijun, to a large army, totaling more than 35,000 people.

Of his more than 35,000 men, at least 7,000 have horses, and the remaining infantry are also elites allocated by the East Route Army and the West Route Army.

"I will obey the general's orders."

The generals half knelt and listened to the order.

After months of fighting, they have become absolutely obedient to Bai Gui. Even though Bai Gui had not produced the official document on troop deployment, they subconsciously believed what Bai Gui said.

This is the charm of the military situation, the coach's will is overwhelming.

"I, the general, will lead the cavalry first... and you will follow later."

Bai Gui narrowed his eyes and said.

He didn't want to just do the dojo in a snail and lion shell on the Huaihe River. There are no passes in the Central Plains that can be defended. If we fight again, it will be of no avail. It will just be a stalemate.

Although Guanzhong is not as prosperous as it was in the Tang Dynasty, its terrain is definitely more than enough to serve as the foundation for the king's industry.

In addition..., to him, the passes of Qin were useless.

Capturing Guanzhong, firstly, Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty was too far away from Qin and beyond reach, which gave him an opportunity to grow stronger; secondly, it threatened the Central Plains with Guanzhong's flanks, allowing him to attack if he advanced, and defend if he retreated.

After setting the strategy.

Half a day later, they pulled out their troops and rushed to Tongguan, Qin Dynasty.

Under Bai Gui's training, these seven thousand cavalry have become "as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain."

Three days later, Bai Gui became the first to ascend the throne and came down from Tongguan in an hour.

After capturing Tongguan.

Bai Gui widely recruited the people of Qin, spread his arsenal, and recruited 30,000 infantrymen.

Seven days later.

Seeing that the situation was over, the Jin people in Qin looked at the wind and descended, and all the nobles and nobles took possession of Qin.

He then used the soldiers on the northwest route of Beijing as the backbone and recruited soldiers aggressively, reaching 150,000 soldiers.

And... at this time, Bai Gui came to play.

"I have no prestige in the land of Qin and am unable to convince the public. I once heard the story of King Xin of Han Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, and asked your majesty to show your favor. I issued an edict to confederate you as the false king of Qin, in order to win the hearts of the people of Qin..."

"I am terrified in my heart, so don't blame me for looking at my emperor!"

This step up, a layer of stone, stirs up thousands of waves.

Yunei was in an uproar.

Emperor Wanyan Dan of the Jin Kingdom also sent people to persuade Bai Gui to surrender. If Bai Gui was willing to surrender to the Jin Dynasty, he would have a bright future and wealth. The King of Qin and the Emperor of Song did not give it to him, but he, the Emperor of Jin, gave it to him.

Lin'an.

Zhao Gou was angry, "This noble man in vain, so ambitious. How old is he now? He just wants to plot to treason and usurp the throne. Damn it! Damn it!"

"Your Majesty, maybe this Bai family really wants to make his career as king and prime minister."

"This guy is reckless."

"In the past, Xiang Yu wanted to be the overlord, and the King of Han wanted to be the emperor... but this King of Qin might as well have given it to him. He is just a child's mind."

"Anyway, the Bai family is young and your Majesty has no heirs now. You can accept the Bai family as your adopted son and then canonize him as the false king of Qin. It is just and justified."

Qin Shi said.

Zhao Gou's eyes turned cold and he stared at Qin Shi fiercely. He was so frightened by the Jin that most people would not dare to mention the shame of having no heir. However, he thought of the support behind Qin Shi and sat down on the dragon chair. Shang sighed and said, "Tell Mr. Bai that I will accept him as my adopted son. There is no need to confer any false King of Qin on him. Just give him the title of King of Qin."

After that, he looked outside the Chui Gong Hall and said quietly: "Secretly detain the parents and clan of this son of the Bai family, don't let them escape."

Although famous generals such as Han Shizhong and Liu Qi also have a close relationship with Bai Gui, these people cannot be easily touched. He could kill Yue Fei, but he couldn't kill so many senior generals. He still understood the principle of drinking poison to quench thirst. Besides, the Bai family's "rebellion" had nothing to do with these senior generals.

However, not long after, the escort from the Imperial City Department came to report, "To inform my emperor, the Baigui relatives and the Tang family relatives all moved to other places five days ago. In Lin'an City, only servants are left in the Bai family's cloth village."

"I... understand."

Zhao Gou paused for a while, waved his hand, and asked the Imperial Guard's escort to leave.

He didn't expect that Bai Gui's plan was so thorough. Also, Bai Gui's achievements suddenly rose. Although the families of these generals were monitored as a rule, without the emperor's order to pay special attention, the officials would just follow the rules, and the strictness of the supervision was not much higher.

"Unexpected, unexpected..."

"In the Eleventh Year of Shaoxing Boy Examination, I ordered you to sit on my butt, but you didn't want to. I didn't expect that you had different ambitions at a young age."

Zhao Gou shook his head and sighed.

At this time, he thought of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. In fact, Bai Gui suddenly emerged on the battlefield, and his fighting style was very similar to Xiang Yu's. Both were in a military situation, so most people compared Bai Gui to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.

It's just that many people deliberately ignore one thing.

This matter was now conceived by Zhao.

In the past, when the First Emperor of Qin was touring the east, Xiang Yu said to the Emperor's chariot: "He can take his place."

At that time... Xiang Yu was young.

When the Song envoy came, Bai Gui heard this and directly refused to become Zhao Gou's adopted son.

"If you show your kindness, the angels won't believe it?"

Bai Gui prevaricates.

It's not that he insists on getting this "fake King of Qin", but that the current situation makes him unable to do so.

He had received a secret report from the Jin people that Zhao Gou wanted to call off his troops, and the Jin people ordered Qin Yi and others to unjustly kill him on "unfounded" charges.

A fierce general like him was difficult for the Jin people to deal with, but wasn't it difficult for the Song people to deal with him?

Therefore, Bai Gui could only "take risks" and capture the first army.

After he captured the land of Qin, he immediately asked for a "fake king of Qin". There are two purposes. One is to bargain, which means that I am still a minister of the Song Dynasty, but if the court disagrees, he, a minister of the Song Dynasty, may not be loyal. The other is to draw a clear line with the Song Dynasty. If he is still a partial general, then Regardless of whether it was Liu Qi or Han Shizhong, any of the marshals could easily take over his troops.

After dividing the boundaries and supporting the troops with self-respect, there is room for maneuver!

Without the threat of his relatives, Zhao Gou could only swallow this bitter pill.

So Zhao Gou considered himself Bai Gui's uncle and named Bai Gui's "nephew" as the false king of Qin.

Bai Gui accepted it as soon as he saw it was good, and agreed as the tide went.

At this time, the golden envoy came.

I want to bribe Bai Gui with a high official and a generous salary.

Without him, Qin directly threatened the entire Central Plains from the side of the large geographical plate. Without Qin, if you want to defend the Central Plains, you will have to put in much more effort than before.

At the same time, this is also the strategy of the Kingdom of Jin to temporarily appease the evil tiger Bai Gui.

"The slogan that Marshal Yue used back then was to return the old capital and welcome the second emperor..."

"Now Emperor Song canonizes this general as his nephew."

"My general... I couldn't sleep last night. I missed Zhao Huan, the emperor's uncle. I wonder if the envoy of the Jin Dynasty can allow the emperor's uncle to return to Qin. I, the general, will definitely provide for him day and night."

In Chang'an, in the military camp, Bai Gui cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"The King of Qin's filial piety moved heaven and earth."

"It is only natural for my nephew to welcome the emperor's uncle back. I will return to Beijing to report to Your Majesty."

When the Jin messenger heard this, he looked surprised, looked at Bai Gui deeply, and then smiled.
