Chapter Thirty-Nine
The person who spoke was Geshuhan's confidant Yang Jinghui.
Yang Jinghui said this sentence: Brother Shuhan’s heart is gone.
In marching and fighting, intelligence comes first.
In the "Archive of War", Sun Tzu's Art of War, it particularly emphasizes the role of intelligence, and even divides intelligence into several levels: because of the interval, inside, counter-internal, dead, and life.
Geshuhan is proficient in military strategies and is naturally important for understanding intelligence.
When he arrived in Jingxiang, he had arranged for his confidant scout to inquire about the information.
Geshuhan is the most rich. Everyone of his scouts brought fees to buy information. He can be said to be very familiar with An Lushan's situation.
Originally, Ge Shuhan participated in the encirclement and suppression of An Lushan according to Pei Min's original plan.
But Zhang Xun and Li Guangbi performed very well.
The former had less than 10,000 troops, but he was able to compete with the strong attack of An Lushan's 130,000 troops, which made the thieves fail to sink into the sand.
The latter fought even more beautifully in the battle of the Lu family: Li Guangbi directly overthrew the three armies with one army, and fought An Lushan and ran away with his head in his arms. More than half of the 100,000 troops were injured and killed, becoming a dog that was stranded.
Faced with the performance of these two people, Ge Shuhan also felt the pressure and was not willing to let it go.
How could I, an old senior, let Zhang Xun and Li Guangbi, be like the younger generation?
Just as An Lushan gave up his withdrawal from Chang'an and met with Shi Siming, retreating from his direction to break through.
Geshuhan tried to defeat An Lushan and seize the last fat meat.
However, Ge Shuhan currently has only 15,000 troops, and there is still a certain gap with An Lushan.
Now An Lushan is determined to break through and escape and intends to withdraw back to the north, and will not face it head-on.
Geshuhan did not think he would be inferior to Li Guangbi, but also had the confidence to use his troops to defeat the strong with the weak. He just wanted to wipe out the enemy completely and capture An Lushan alive.
Geshuhan sent troops to harass him and delayed the speed of An Lushan's marching, just waiting for his reinforcements.
After pondering for a moment, Geshuhan said, "When will Zhang Bingma Envoy arrive?"
Yang Jinghui replied: "We have already shipped to pick it up, about two days later."
Geshuhan talked about his army commander and the military commander Zhang Shouyu.
Geshuhan said: "Tell him to take a boat to Xiangcheng. The Yingqiao is north of Xiangcheng. After they crossed the Yingqiao, they directly demolished the Yingqiao. Now the water flows fast and there is no Yingqiao. Li Guangbi and the others have to go around for a few more days to cross the Yingshui. At that time, the daylily was cold..."
Yang Jinghui's face changed slightly, and he said with a little horror: "Isn't this good? Where is the Prince of Wuwei?"
Brother Shuhan's body trembled slightly, but when he thought that Pei Min was far away from Shuofang, he was more courageous and said, "What do we do? From Sichuan and Shu to the Central Plains, we came to eat meat, not soup and scumbags, nor were we used as a foil for Zhang Xun and Li Guangbi. Pei Shuhan, blame him, my brother Shuhan alone! Whoever competes with me for this credit will turn against me."
Yingshui!
Yingqiao!
Zhang Shouyu is commanding the troops to cross the river.
He had 15,000 troops in his hand, but Yingqiao could only accommodate ten people. This would take a while for him to go with food, supplies and supplies.
However, Zhang Shouyu had already understood the general situation and knew that Ge Shuhan urgently needed 15,000 troops from their place, so he did not dare to delay any delay, so he personally directed and arranged for the soldiers to cross the river.
When the soldier had spent most of the time, Zhang Shouyu had already arranged for the soldiers to demolish Yingqiao.
Suddenly, dust was flying in the west, and there was a scene of soldiers attacking.
The Jiannan Bing defeated Xian Yu Zhongtong in his early years, and it was just right that it would not be destroyed or established.
The brand new Jiannan Army is the army that Geshuhan recruited generals and brave men over the years and trained them. Its combat effectiveness is very considerable, and every soldier has an extremely keen sense of combat.
When encountering this situation, there was no panic. The soldiers who crossed the bridge opened the place to allow the soldiers on the bridge to have a seat to cross the bridge. The soldiers who had not crossed the bridge were ready for battle...
Zhang Shouyu also sent a scout to investigate the situation as soon as possible.
After a while, the scout came with a man.
The scout said loudly from afar: "The military envoy, the person who came is General Li Fei Yuanli, and the deputy general under General Li Guangbi."
Zhang Shouyu's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that Li Guangbi would come so quickly. After thinking for a while, he had an idea and went up to greet him in person.
Zhang Shouyu was kind-hearted, and Li Fei Yuanli, who was in the same camp, also seemed polite.
Zhang Shouyu said: "General Yuanli, our army has just crossed the river and has to wait for a while. Why not go around left and right and see if there are any bridges to cross?"
Li Fei Yuanli glanced at the soldiers on the west bank of Yingshui and smiled and said, "My general has learned about it in advance. There were originally three bridges nearby, but General Zhang Xun went to war in the Central Plains before. In order to block the enemy, he demolished two of them, and only this Ying Bridge was left. Come first and then arrive, and the general crosses first. Our army then passes, and there is no rush to this moment."
Zhang Shouyu couldn't say anything, so he went back to Yingqiao.
He had a sudden inspiration and asked the soldiers who had crossed the bridge to find Geshuhan first.
The remaining soldiers who had not crossed the river quickly crossed the river...
Li Fei Yuanli waited a little impatiently and urged her several times.
But Zhang Shouyu could not listen. While coping with it, he was slower.
Li Fei Yuanli waited for two hours until Li Guangbi's subsequent troops arrived.
Li Guangbi was surprised to find out why Li Fei Yuanli was still in Linying. After knowing the situation in detail, he had a moment of confusion in his eyes, and then he replaced his anger.
Xin Jinggao was most humane and said, "General, I'm afraid that the governor of Geshu doesn't want us to steal his credit."
Li Fei Yuanli had been waiting for a long time and was furious. After Xin Jinggao's reminder, he immediately shouted: "This is too bullying! Why is his brother Shuhan?"
Li Guangbi pursed his lips and held his hands tightly. After a while, he said, "Let's wait. No matter how slow it is, there will be times when it passes, and it won't take long."
These words were squeezed out from the cracks of his teeth.
Although he chose to compromise, his tone was also full of dissatisfaction with Geshuhan.
Isn’t it just a veteran general who is a few years older, what’s so great about it?
After waiting for another half an hour, I saw that the Jiannan Army was about to cross the bridge.
Suddenly, their supplies were overturned inexplicably, and more than ten supplies were broken down together and blocked on Yingqiao.
Li Guangbi sent Xin Jinggao to find out the situation.
Xin Jinggao came back with a helpless look on his face and said, "They said that they would cross the bridge immediately after they repaired the baggage van."
"It's outrageous!"
After hearing this, Li Guangbi was immediately exploded and shouted angrily: "Brother Shu's old thief bullied me too much!" He shouted with red eyes: "Yuan Li, now you will immediately bring your troops to the bridge. Throw all the supplies into the river. Whoever dares to stop them will take them down. If they use the sword first, don't be polite."
Xin Jinggao exclaimed: "General Li..."
Li Guangbi rushed up and shouted, "The current situation of An Thief was exchanged for my life. At this point, I don't mind giving the old Thief some credit. But he wanted to take it alone because he thought that my Li Guangbi's knife was not sharp enough?"
Xin Jinggao knew that Li Guangbi was unruly and was not afraid of the world, but he only obeyed Pei Min and advised him: "General, think about the consequences. If you attack your own people, how can Pei Shuai explain?"
