Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 260 It's Not Too Late
"Without me, I don't know how many people in Guanzhong rebelled, how many people committed crimes, and how many people were displaced and died." Outside Xiazhou City, Shao Shude rode a horse to inspect the first batch of volunteers who arrived.

Although these words are pretentious, they are also true.

Shao Shude has kept the northern part of Jingzhao Mansion and some parts of Tongzhou safe since the time of discussing Huangchao, and defeated the Chao army's attempts to go north several times.The subsequent disturbance of moving the town did not fight back and forth as in history, and then the rioters looted everywhere and set fire to Chang'an.

Not to mention the years-long war caused by the support of the new emperor.

Marshal Shao is qualified to say this, because it is the existence of his big tiger that prevents the ambitious people in Guanzhong from taking the lead and making trouble, and also prevents the troops from other towns from coming in to wantonly ravage the people in Guanzhong.

Otherwise, there would still be more than 200 million people in Guanzhong?impossible.

"Which tribe do you belong to?" Shao Shude stopped in the horse, looked at a Dangxiang mountain resident, and asked.

"Yokoyama Drag Wave Department."

"What is your name?"

"Corruption."

"First time going down the mountain?"

"The third time."

"Ever fought?"

"We fought once in Wenchi County, and once again in Jingyuan Town. When we attacked Lanzhou in the west, we followed the wild army to destroy the enemy's stronghold in Liangwu, Guangwu."

"Excellent!" Shao Shude praised, "Can you know how to shoot arrows?"

"Hunting tigers and leopards in the mountains, of course!"

"Get my bow!" Shao Shude stretched out his hand, and the soldiers immediately handed over his infantry bow.

"This is your fourth expedition, so I will give it to the strong man." Shao Shude handed the bow to this man, encouraged him with words, and then continued to inspect other troops.

Ye Yu stared blankly at the well-made bow in his hand, and the mountain people from various tribes also looked at him with envy.

"Good luck." Li Renfu patted him on the shoulder.

Over the years, how many mounts, horizontal knives, step bows, and riding bows have the commander sent out?It has almost become a legend among the warriors of various tribes, and everyone is proud to see the commander-in-chief.

All the chiefs, do you still want to rebel?

Marshal Shao is a hero who conforms to the aesthetics of a prairie warrior: his riding skills are very good, and his archery skills are excellent.He is bold, generous, and broad-minded. If a warrior offends him, as long as he has real skills, not only will he not be blamed, but he will be rewarded.

He also respected the customs on the prairie. He was very happy to eat prairie food and never discriminated against anyone.Those who have military exploits, even party members, can be promoted.Going out hunting, sleeping among a bunch of rough prairie guys, snoring, smelly feet, pretty much everything, but he never frowned.

The Yi Cong Army has maintained a staff of 6000 people all year round, and has been trained by coaches at all levels.These people are actually Yamen.Especially the three thousand cavalry in Zhongyongdu in the right wing, originally said that they would return to the tribes after two years expired, but everyone didn't want to leave and wanted to continue working for the commander.

Ever since, Commander Shao obeyed the army's morale and fixed the 3000 people in Zhongyongdu. They were no longer troops enjoying the treatment of Yajun, but serious Yajun.

The whole army of the Yi Cong Army has [-] cavalry, and today they are all concentrated outside Xiazhou City.

After the review, Shao Shude walked up to Li Tangbin and Fu Cunshen who came to watch the ceremony whether intentionally or not.

Li Tangbin is now the envoy of the newly established Tianzhu Army.Since he was captured in the Battle of Sanyuan, he has been in the Dingnan Army for seven years and participated in most of the wars. Although his qualifications are not among the oldest group, it is not an exaggeration to call him an "old man".

"Marshal." Seeing Shao Shude approaching, Li Tangbin saluted respectfully.

"Envoy Li, the Tianzhu Army is newly established, and this battle must be awe-inspiring! The Xinquan Army is only [-] strong, and it is so brilliant in Weizhou and Minzhou. The Tianzhu Army is [-] strong. I am waiting for your success report."

"The commander-in-chief just wait for the good news." Li Tangbin said solemnly.

Shao Shude nodded.

He has always felt that Li Tangbin has been in many troops, from You Yi envoy to Du Yuhou, and then to deputy envoy, he has never been alone, and he is afraid that he will be useless by himself.

But how to put it, this is also a process of accumulation.

When Li Tangbin was first captured by himself, to be honest, the troops under him really had something to eat.Poor discipline, deep habits, slippery head-to-head battles.

This kind of army is extremely brave when fighting against the wind, but once it encounters adversity, it is difficult to say what kind of battle it will be.

Now he has experienced many battles, and the opponents have a variety of styles.There are tactics developed by the Chao army when they switched to war for many years, the "guerrilla habits" of the grassland tribes, and the war tactics of the Shuofang army.His vision and knowledge are enough, and he has accumulated a lot of experience. Now let's see if he can be the leader of an army well.

When passing by Fu Cunshen, Shao Shude didn't stop.But Li Tangbin keenly discovered that the commander-in-chief's attention had been on the top ten generals.

Combined with the fact that Fu Cunshen's family members were taken over from Huaizhou at a huge price recently, Li Tangbin was sure in his heart: the commander-in-chief valued this new top ten general.

In order to take back the families of the four hundred officers and soldiers, the commander spent a total of seven hundred horses!Li Hanzhi hated Fu Cunjian who took the lead to leave, and the Fu family alone asked for five hundred horses, which was a sky-high price.

At that time, Fu Cunshen was also present, and the commander-in-chief agreed without hesitation, and said: "Five hundred horses are less than [-] pieces of silk. If you exchange them back to General Fu's family, you will get a tiger general. Wouldn't it be a lot of money?"

Li Tangbin was a little jealous of this, but he also sympathized with Fu Cunju. This matter spread throughout the army. Can ordinary people deal with it calmly?
If Yiri Talisman Cunshen betrayed the commander in chief or turned to others, his reputation would be so bad that no one dared to reuse it, and he must have understood this truth himself.

The deputy envoy of Tianzhu Army is Feng Yin.Shao Shude patted him on the shoulder. The two of them had a very good personal relationship, and they were wives. They had been friends for many years, so there was nothing to say.

Du Yuhou is Guo Qi, who was transferred from Wuwei Army.Shao Shude didn't have much to say about such a fierce general who had been in the limelight, anyway, he just had to work hard!

The volunteer army will set off today, carrying grain and grass for one month.

Three days later, the Tianzhu Army, Zhenwu Army, and Hexi Dangxiang's [-]-step cavalry will also set off, also carrying one month's grain and grass.

Behind is the main force of the Chinese army. The Iron Forest Army, Iron Cavalry Army, and Leopard Cavalry all have [-] cavalry.

6000 people from the Yinshan and Fan tribes came to the rear.They will receive a large number of sheep on the Xiazhou and Youzhou grasslands, about 20 head, all of which are part of the tribute paid by the various tribes at the end of last year, as a food supplement for the army.I drove the sheep all the way south, and when I arrived in Guanzhong, the grass had almost turned green.

In fact, Shao Shude is currently planning to mobilize the Tibetan tribes in Huizhou, Weizhou, and Minzhou, mainly the Bai family in Huizhou and the Tuoba clan in Minzhou, and drive some of them to defect to Tubo. In the direction of Qinzhou and Chengzhou, they entered Xingzhou and Fengzhou and raided Wuding army.

Yang Shouzhong must now be very concerned about the actions of the towns in the northwest of Beijing, and try to gather his troops to the east and north as much as possible.When the Dingnan Army went south, it could be louder and attract more people's attention.

It can not only scare Yang Fugong, but also allow Yang Shouzhong to better "grasp" the whereabouts of the Dingnan Army, so that he can draw his attention to the east and north, and then be stolen by a large group of nomadic Dangxiang people, Han people, and Tubo people. Family……

This plan has entered the implementation stage.Anyway, there is no loss if you fail.

It was also at this time that Shao Shude suddenly discovered that the resources he could mobilize were quite rich, especially the troops of the Fan tribe, who were scattered almost everywhere, stretching for more than a thousand miles from south to north.It brings a variety of options to one's own marching operations, and it is easy to make enemies who fall into misunderstandings careless.

This mother is not a Jiedushi, or a profuse, Wuzu, I don't know if it will become a moral theory or even a Zanpu in the future.

Marshal Shao's multiple identities, for many towns in the Northwest, are often a blow to dimensionality reduction.Because you don't know at all, from which corner, the bitter Qiang people can actually get in touch with someone from Shao.

On the seventh day of February, after sending away 5000 people including the Tianzhu army, Shao Shude met Yang Fugong's envoy in the government office.

"Since the envoy is here, must Privy Envoy Yang have something to say?" Shao Shude sat on the tiger skin chair, Lu Siye stood behind him, Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng sat on both sides, all staring at this general named Zhang Wan.

Zhang Wan is Yang Shouxin's confidant general, cruel and cunning, famous in the army for his viciousness.But when he came to Xiazhou at this time, he was watched by the Shao family's soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, and he saw the same "vicious name" Lingwu County King, as honest as a kitten.

"Back to the King of Lingwu County, the privy envoy sent me here in the hope of being able to retreat and eliminate a military disaster for the people of Guanzhong." Zhang Wan replied cautiously.

"The sword is out of its sheath and has not seen blood. How can we take it back?" Shao Shude smiled and said: "A certain has contacted the towns in Guanzhong, gathered 20 soldiers, and attacked Yang Shouzhong, the Jiedu envoy of the Wuding Army, and the rebellious prefectures in Shannan Xidao. Privy envoy Yang Do you think that you can make the army retreat with a few words?"

"The king of Lingwu County must mobilize troops? It should be known that Li Keyong of Hedong and Zhu Quanzhong of Xuanwu will not stand idly by."

"I have an army of 20, and a reserve of [-]. Li and Zhu are here, so what can I do?"

"Although there are many powerful generals under the command of Lingwu County King, but—"

"When will Yang Shouzhong's head be delivered?" Shao Shude directly interrupted him and asked.

Zhang Wan's face was ugly, this Shao Shude didn't take threats at all, he was indeed a martial artist who was killed from the dead.

Seeing that Zhang Wan was silent, Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "Since I have nothing to say, please go back first. I will lead an army of 20 to go south to Chang'an in a few days, and I may have a chance to meet with Privy Councilor Yang at that time. It must have been Tian Lingzi's mansion back then."

After sending the envoy away, Shao Shude said to Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng, "It's not too late, we must hurry up and enter the army. If Yang Fugong softens his body and is willing to kill Yang Shouzhong to redeem himself, it will be a bit embarrassing. In addition, the situation in the Kanto region is also It's raging."

Recently, the people of Lingxia Zhuzhou have been celebrating festivals, "Life is boundless joy", but the wars in the Kanto have become more frequent, and the people are suffering unspeakably.

Sun Ru and Yang Xingmi fought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people of Changzhou and Runzhou were out of ten.The food in Yangzhou was looted by the two, and the people were so hungry that they had to sell their wives and children to buy food.Places that sell grain collect people on the street, tie them up, and slaughter them on the street, just like killing livestock.

In Jiangnan, there was not only the battle between Sun and Yang, but Zhou Bao, who was defeated by Zhenhai Jiedu, fled to Hangzhou after repeated battles.Hangzhou was the inspection area of ​​Zhenhai Jiedushi. Qian Liu, a general of Zhou Bao's department, welcomed him in, and then killed him.

Zhou Bao's defeated troops returned to Zhao Hui. Zhao Hui fought against Zhang Xiong who had traveled south from Xuzhou to Suzhou.

Qian Liu attacked Runzhou, captured Zhou Bao's traitor General Xue Lang and others, pretended to sacrifice his heart and liver to pay homage to Zhou Bao, all of them are fucking movie kings!
"Huainan and Zhenhai are in such chaos that there are demons dancing around. Fortunately, Shi Pu, the Wuning army, was jealous of Zhu Quanzhong and blocked his way to the south. Qin Zong's power resumed, Chen, Bo and other states were plundered, Zhengzhou fell, Zhu Quanzhong had to Return to the army to save the old nest." Shao Shude stood up and said: "This year, I am afraid that many major events will happen. It is not too late. Three days later, a certain person led the iron forest, iron cavalry, and leopard cavalry to set off for Guanzhong. waited."

"Commander, do you want the Yi Cong Army and Tian Zhu Army to wait in Fu and Yan?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Don't wait, the Yicong army marched to Fuping, the Tianzhu and Zhenwu armies went to Sanyuan, and the Fufang and Danyan armies set up defenses in the Gaoling and Liyang areas respectively, waiting for the main force of our army to arrive."

"As ordered."
