Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 146 Zeguo Jiangshan enters the battle map ([-])
"Will Li Chongjin not listen to the Commander?" Dong Zunhui asked while wiping his knife at the northern foot of Zijin Mountain.

"Ghost knows, that bird man has a stinky face, and he'll be annoyed when he sees it all the time." Wang Zhong said dissatisfiedly, hiding under his subordinates to avoid the sun, and was asking his own soldiers to put armor on him.

"The two of you are talking nonsense, be careful to cause trouble for Brother Yun." Shao Ji said while sharpening the tip of his gun.

The two shut up immediately and didn't say any more.

Luo Yanhuan was much happier than the two of them when he sat on the commander and changed his armor: "I think there is no problem if the commander believes in him. I fought with Li Chongjin in the prosperous Tang Dynasty before, and I think he is a good person. At most, the mouth smells a little bit."

In July and August last year, Luo Yanhuan was defeated by the Southern Tang general Zhu Yuan in Shuzhou at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains. He retreated to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in embarrassment. Tang counterattacked, so he didn't lose more places.

Therefore, Luo Yanhuan had a better impression of Li Chongjin than Wang Zhong, Dong Zunhui and others. Li Chongjin was really capable of fighting, not just putting on airs.

Shen Zhiyi was the oldest man, in his 40s, with the most easy-going temper. He walked up to the crowd and handed them a bunch of water bags.

He is not a direct descendant of Shi Congyun, but after fighting so many battles with everyone, he gradually got involved, and said with a smile: "The commander must have his reasons for making such arrangements, so we don't have to worry about it.

Besides, no matter how many heads each of us have, we are not as smart as Brother Yun, so there is nothing to worry about.If you want me to fight as the commander arranges, I will definitely win the battle. "

Everyone laughed, Wang Zhong jumped up and patted Shen Zhiyi on the shoulder: "Old Shen is still right, it's different after reading some books."

"Haha, I'm just kidding." Shen Zhiyi cupped his hands and smiled. He was from Daliang. He had studied in his early years and wanted to take the imperial examination.

"Our group of people are fighting together again. It's a pity that Yucheng is not here. Otherwise, it will be like Zhengyang. You can't fight any battle with the commander-in-chief. It's useless to have as many fake Tang soldiers as you can." Dong Zunhui was among the crowd. She is younger and has always spoken more aggressively.

Yucheng has been guarding Gwangju for more than half a year since he was ordered by Shi Congyun to guard Gwangju, and he is still guarding Gwangju. Gwangju has always been in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty.

Speaking of this, Wang Shenqi, who was listening to the local villagers talking about the nearby terrain, interjected, "I just don't understand why the commander guarded a small Guangzhou, but let the eastern capital Yangzhou, that is Yangzhou "

Everyone looked at him and said with a smile: "Xiangzhu, the general must have a reason, you can ask yourself someday."

Wang Shenqi smiled: "Indeed, first think about how to fight Zijin Mountain, this is something the commander entrusted to us."

Now Shuzhou, Hezhou, Taizhou, Yangzhou and other large areas have been recaptured by the Southern Tang Dynasty again.

Most of these places were retaken by the Southern Tang Army, but there were exceptions, and that was Yangzhou.

Yangzhou was the eastern capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The officials successively sent generals such as Han Lingkun, Xiang Xun, and Shi Yanchao to take it.

After all, it is the Eastern Capital, so just listening to it makes it feel important, and everyone knows that Yangzhou is prosperous and prosperous. In the past, whether it was the officials or Li Chongjin and others, they tried their best to keep Yangzhou.

However, after Shi Congyun served as the camp capital in Huainan, he ordered general Zhao Kuangyin to abandon Chuzhou, and generals Xiang Xun, Shi Yanchao, and Han Lingkun to abandon Yangzhou.

Order Zhao Kuangyin to lead his troops to Qingliuguan and Dingyuan to attack the Southern Tang water army camp in Tushan.

Xiang Xun, Shi Yanchao, and Han Lingkun went to Liuhe, Chuzhou, Qingliuguan, and Dingyuan to attack Haozhou.

Abandon all important places such as Qingliuguan, Chuzhou, and Liuhe Yangzhou in the south.This move can be described as stunned a lot of people.

Wang Shenqi actually didn't understand it in his heart, he could only tell himself to trust the commander in chief, trust Shi Congyun's judgment and operation, he had never lost a war before.

Shi Congyun stood on a large rock at the entrance of the village. A small village ten miles away from the northern foot of Zijin Mountain had already been requisitioned by him. He gave [-] yuan to each household of the temporarily expropriated people. Most people did not understand this move.

Shi Congyun didn't explain it either, he had his own considerations, today is the second day, starting tomorrow, all the armies will launch an attack on Zijin Mountain as planned.

Luqiu Zhongqing followed him all the time, looked at Zijin Mountain in the distance, and asked with some concern: "Commander, if we transfer all the troops from the south to the north, will it be too aggressive?"

"Don't stop and continue to suffer from the chaos." Shi Congyun looked at the Zijin Mountain in the distance.

He resolutely said to Luqiu Zhongqing: "I've already thought about how to fight this battle, if you lose the people who save the land, you will lose all the people and land; if you save the people and lose the land, everyone will save the land.

If we don't eat up the Southern Tang army, it will be useless to occupy more places. Yangzhou is like fat meat placed at the intersection. It is indeed fat, but anyone can reach out. We can't waste it there with Southern Tang. , or be more unrestrained and decisive, leave it to him, let's concentrate on Shouzhou and Haozhou. "

"The commander-in-chief has great ideas, and his courage makes me ashamed," Luqiu Zhongqing said with a smile.

Shi Congyun grinned: "Mr. Luqiu, I want to go to Zijin Mountain in person in the evening, you come with me, and you can remember the rewards and punishments of the army, how about it." There is a certain degree of danger in doing this.

He told Luqiu Zhongqing his reward and punishment standards, and it was very appropriate for Luqiu Zhongqing to go to the front to supervise the army.

Luqiu Zhongqing didn't refuse at all, "This old man will definitely do his best."

Shi Congyun nodded, and looked at the Zijin Mountain in the distance again. He naturally knew the consequences of such a transfer.

Transferring the troops of Shi Yanchao, Zhao Kuangyin, Xiang Xun, Han Lingkun and others to the Huaihe River is to hand over Yangzhou, Liuhe, Chuzhou and other places.

Before making this decision, he hesitated and was afraid.

He has a complete map of Huainan in his heart, or in other words, he has an overall grasp of Huainan, and has his own views and ideas.

He started thinking about many strategic things from the first day he set foot on this land, but he couldn't guarantee whether his ideas were right or whether they would achieve results after implementation.

But in the end what made him make up his mind to make a decision was the sentence he thought of while listening to the flowing water on the bed by the Huaihe River last night, "If you save land, you will lose all people; if you save people, you will lose land, and all people will survive."

Don't care too much about the gains and losses of a city or a place, talents are fundamental!Military strength is fundamental!

Yangzhou is like a beautiful vase. If you win it, you can boast that it occupies the Eastern Capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is also good-looking, but such a place of the Fourth World War will not last long!
Han Lingkun, Xiang Xun, and Shi Yanchao successively fell into a tug-of-war in the annex of Yangzhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty. They went back and forth and spent a lot of money, but there was no decisive result.

Instead of thinking about how to bloom in all directions and occupy land everywhere like the officials did last year, it is better to think about how to eat more Southern Tang troops and occupy the unpretentious and important towns such as Shouzhou and Haozhou on the banks of the Huaihe River where the army can gain a foothold.

If Nan Tang's army suffered similar losses, and if they didn't fight at that time, Nan Tang would definitely be so frightened that they would cede territory and seek peace.

After thinking through these joints, Shi Congyun realized for the first time that it is no wonder that the Communist Party would praise Bai Qi as the No. 1 battle of annihilation in the cold weapon era.

Because it is always better to destroy the enemy's vital forces than false enclosures.

The next day he ordered Shi Yanchao, Xiang Xun, and Han Lingkun to abandon Yangzhou and attack Haozhou.

Zhao Kuangyin gave up Liuhe and Chuzhou, and turned to attack Tushan.

Wang Shenqi and Gao Huaide attacked the enemy from the north of Zijin Mountain, and Li Chongjin attacked from the south of Zijin Mountain.

Si Chao, Li Chuyun, and Wang Huan led the navy to go down the Huaihe River and head straight for Tushan.

Shi Yanchao, Xiang Xun and others had a long journey, so they should arrive at the latest, while Zhao Kuangyin arrived earlier.

The first to attack will be Li Chongjin's, Wang Shenqi's, and Gao Huaide's.

In fact, his combat intentions are already very obvious!
At night, two or three stars away, the city of Shouzhou was full of flames.

In the south of the city is Li Chongjin's siege camp, and in the north are the main forces of the Zhou army.

On the east side of Zijin Mountain, there is a long dragon made of fire, which is several times brighter than a natural star. It is tens of thousands of main reinforcements from the Southern Tang Dynasty who are rushing to repair the grain transportation corridor overnight.

In the center of the vortex of the war between the two countries, Shouzhou City has been scarred and besieged for a year, but it still stands tall.

Liu Renshan was originally a very strong man. He was familiar with Confucianism and liked to read military books. He fought against Chu State in the first half of his life, made military exploits, and served as a local official.

Now that he is over fifty, he is so thin that his eye sockets are sunken, and he looks skinny. If it weren't for his broad skeleton propping up his armor, he would not have been a strong man.

He also thought about making contributions, but God did not give him more opportunities.

Originally, I thought that this life would pass smoothly and smoothly, but I didn't expect to encounter a life-and-death battle between the two countries on the battlefield.

The emperor thought highly of him and asked him to guard the important area of ​​Shouzhou.

The importance of Shouzhou is very clear to him, if Shouzhou is lost, half of Huainan will be lost!
So he dared not live up to His Majesty's high expectations for him no matter what.

The city is very difficult now. After being sleepy for a year, the food in the city is getting less and less, many people starve to death, and the roots of trees and grass are almost eaten up.

The fire dragon in the distance is hope. It is the tunnel built by Zhu Yuan and others from Zijin Mountain, and they are going to deliver food to the city.

Shouzhou City is very large, and the Zhou army can't take care of it all. The large group of troops cannot enter and exit, but a small number of messengers can still enter and exit the city at night, and the connection with the outside world is not broken.

The military supervisor Zhou Tinggou and the soldiers standing beside him looked at the fire dragon in the distance and subconsciously swallowed. They hadn't had a full meal for a long time.

"When the food can reach the city, even if the bastards of the Zhou army fight for another two years, we can still defend! We can go out of the city and beat them down!" said the soldier beside him.

Although the city is very difficult, the morale is not low at all, which has something to do with the style of the general Liu Renshan.

Last year, his youngest son Liu Chongjian couldn't hold on, and tried to sneak a boat to Huaibei in the middle of the night to surrender to the Zhou army, but was caught by a small officer.

Liu Renshan immediately ordered him to be cut in half, and the left and right officials dared not plead for help.The supervising army sent Zhou Tinggou to the middle gate to cry loudly in order to rescue Liu Chongjian, but Liu Renshan refused.

Zhou Tinggou sent someone to seek help from Liu Renshan's wife, Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu said: "It's not that I don't love Chongjian, but military law can't be favoritism, and reputation can't be lost.

If you forgive him today, the Liu family is an unfaithful family, what face does his father and I have to meet the fighting soldiers! "

So Liu Chongjian was beheaded and mourned.The soldiers in the city were deeply moved and wept for it.More willing to follow Liu Renshan.

Later, Liu Renshan personally led more than 800 people who dared to die, and suddenly went out of the city in the middle of the night to fight back.

In the south of the city, Li Jixun's tens of thousands of troops were defeated by General Zhou and the infantry guards. They were caught off guard, killing more than a thousand Zhou soldiers, wounding countless people, and burning a large number of siege equipment outside the city. He was burned alive by the fire in his sleep.

After the First World War, tens of thousands of Zhou troops besieged the city with fear and dared not attack Shouzhou City for a long time. This was because Liu Renshan led the troops and always distinguished public and private interests, which won the hearts of the people.

Liu Renshan asked Zhou Tinggou, the supervising army envoy, and said, "I heard that the Zhou army has recruited new recruits."

The two are old friends, and Zhou Yangou nodded, "A few days ago, according to the news, the soldiers who went out to contact Zijinshan Xu Wenzhen (the leader of the Zijinshan garrison in the Southern Tang Dynasty) brought back the man Shi Congyun who killed Liu Yanzhen in Zhengyang."

Liu Renshan sighed: "If Liu Yanzhen had listened to the old man back then, how could he have ended up like this, and Shouzhou would not be so passive!
I sent a letter to King Qi, Marshal of the various soldiers and horses, and told him that Huainan is a flat area, and if you want to compete with Zhou Jun, you can't just stick to it.

The old man can lead the army to a decisive battle with the Zhou army, as long as he sends Bian Hao to guard Shouzhou for me, but there has been no news."

Zhou Tinggou looked disdainful, "Li Jingda? If he is not a relative of His Majesty, what is he? He was actually asked to control all the soldiers and horses.

He was frightened by Zhou Dynasty general Zhao Kuangyin as early as in Hezhou, and he would dare to fight Zhou Jun head-on!Shit is not a thing! "

Liu Renshan opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end. He is a Confucian general, more refined, and rarely said those unpleasant words, but he also knew that his old friend was right.

"Who is the new envoy of the Zhou Dynasty, and is there any big move?"

"A young man of eighteen or nineteen."

"Eighteen or nineteen!" Liu Renshan was a little surprised. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he served as a recruiter and commanded a large army. He had never seen such a person in his life, even in history.

"Heh, could it be the champion Hou Bucheng." He joked, if one speaks of a single-handed general, then people would think of the famous champion Hou Huo Qu being ill.

Zhou Tinggou shook his head, "It is definitely not as good as the champion, but it should not be underestimated. Shi Congyun is said to be the son of Shi Yanchao, the number one general of the Zhou Dynasty. Luan and Li Jin are generals.

Later in Zhengyang, he also defeated Liu Yanzhen's land and water army. It is said that he only led five armies, more than [-] people. "

Having said that, Liu Renshan didn't dare to joke anymore, and frowned, "The five armies, Liu Yanzhen said, there are about 3 people. Maybe the marching was not properly dispatched, and some soldiers failed to go to the battlefield?"

"That's not known. We are in this city, and the information we get is not complete."

Liu Renshan nodded, "No matter what, my Shouzhou City is not afraid of him!"

(Suddenly remembered that I am afraid that everyone will not understand, so I will make a picture of the current situation for you, based on the time from Shi Congyun to Xia Cai)
