Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 531 Make a move
Outside the city of Songzhou, people shouted and neighed, and an army was gathering.

The expressions on the faces of the sergeants were numb, and their spirits were not very high.

Isn't it?After less than three months of repairing, they were about to be dragged out to fight again. Although rewards were added, everyone was still a little bit unmotivated.

It's just some small thieves. Is it necessary to send out a large army to attack?
The sun is gradually rising, and the land of Songzhou is extraordinarily enchanting after the snow.

A group of people passed by on horseback, and the sergeants wisely kept their mouths shut.

Ding will!

A person who has commanded the army several times and has won the trust of the king of Dongping County.

In the Bianzhou general system, apart from the king of Dongping County, Hu Zhen is probably the oldest.But Hu Zhen was old and given a high position, so he lost his real power.If it wasn't for the heavenly Xia thief who invaded Henan Mansion, Hu Zhen might not have the chance to lead the army.

Confidants such as Li Xuan and Li Chongyin were beheaded, and the Huazhou Legion was sent to the battlefield to consume them. Hehe, Shao Shude might have saved Hu Zhen's life when he called.

Apart from Hu Zhen, there are Zhu Zhen, Ding Hui, and Deng Jiyun, and Pang Shigu is not as good as them.

If these three people had to be divided, then Zhu Zhen was the number one general, and the other two were incomparable.

But what happened to Zhu Zhen?In the last few expeditions, he was not allowed to lead the army. Could it be that his combat achievements are too high and he doesn't want to give him another chance?

The king of Dongping County is just too suspicious.

Walking side by side with Dinghui was Zhang Cunjing, the cavalry general, from Bozhou, the old man Yuan Cong of Zhu Quanzhong.

"As soon as Du Hong was beaten, the commander-in-chief was rescued. Otherwise, who would make a confession in the future?" Zhang Cunjing said helplessly as he rode by on the road: "This man is too bad. The six states of Eyue are not a small town, so he was stunned." I can’t deal with those thieves.”

Eyue Town is actually an anomaly in the south, because it has 80 troops, and its annual reward is equivalent to [-] million yuan.

In the more than [-] years when the Cai thieves in Huaixi fought against the imperial court, Eyue Town participated in military operations against Huaixi Town several times.

For example, in the 15th year of Dezong Zhenyuan, Xuanwu, Heyang, Yicheng, Dongduru, Chengde, Youzhou, Ziqing, Weibo, Eyue and other sixteen feudal towns joined forces to fight against Wu Shaocheng in Huaixi, and Eyue Town participated up.

At that time, Eyue Town was also relatively capable of playing.In the ninth year of Yuanhe, observations made Liu Gongchuo good at running the army. Not only did he "give rich granary to sickness, health care, and death", but also "the wives of soldiers who are careless will sink in the river (this... )", so everyone worked bravely, and their fighting power increased dramatically.

What's outrageous is that Eyue Jiedu envoys are generally literati, who know soldiers and are good at managing them, they are really powerful.However, they are all descendants of aristocratic families, who are good at calligraphy and writing, and are also good at riding and archery. It is hard to say that they are pure civil servants. After all, there is no clear distinction between civil and military in the country.

Eyue Town also participated in the war to quell the rebellion of Li Qi in western Zhejiang and Liu Pi in Xichuan.

The town sends [-] soldiers to the northwest border every year.During the Xiantong period, he entered Xichuan to fight against Nanzhao with Xu, Xu, Hua, Bian and other town soldiers.

In the third year of Xiantong, Nanzhao attacked Annan.Annan Jinglue envoy Wang Kuan was in a hurry, and more than [-] soldiers from Eyue, Xiangzhou, Jiangxi, and Jingnan went to Jiaozhi City to fight with Nanzhao soldiers. They killed more than [-] enemies and died in the end.

Eyue town, that would be a real dare to fight. Later, it was breached twice by Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, and it was completely abolished, and it became the virtue it is today.

"It doesn't matter whether Du Hong dies or not. But Shen, Guang, and Cai are one, so they cannot be snatched away by the Xia bandits." Ding Hui reined in his horse, glanced at the slowly moving army, and said, "If Xia bandits Occupying Caizhou will make the overall situation passive. Its soldiers will plunder everywhere, and it is impossible to defend against it, and it will be a big trouble."

"What did Ge Congzhou do in Ruzhou? Once Luyang Pass is breached, if Ping Gaocheng is lost, and Guangchengze and Longpi are captured, it will be a lot of fun." Zhang Cunjing sneered.

He was a cavalryman, and of course he cared most about the horses.

Guangchengze Ranch is located in Linru County, raising more than [-] horses, and Longpijian is located between Jiacheng and Xiangcheng, raising more than [-] horses. It is the two largest herding supervisors in southern Ruzhou.

Although the Henan Horse Administration is developing well, it is still very distressing to lose [-] to [-] horses at a time.

"Ge Congzhou can't help it either." Ding Hui sighed.

He knew the temperament of the king of Dongping County. It was surprising that a person like Ge Congzhou who had no deep qualifications could lead the war in Ruzhou, but this time he lost points, and he might have a hard time in the future.

"We brought 3 people to Caizhou, so we have to be careful. The thief Xia went three ways north this time, aggressively, and I don't know how many people have come." Ding Hui continued: "First stabilize the situation in Caizhou. What will happen next?" Do, I'll have to look again."

Tens of thousands of troops went south to Chen, Xu, and Cai, which was a decision made by the king of Dongping County.

Before departure, Ding Hui was specially called to Bianzhou to teach the opportunity face to face.

The core idea is to quickly defeat Zhe Zongben's army going north, and then go north to participate in the siege of Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin.

Speaking of this, what else does Ding Hui not understand?

The most important thing now is to attack the three towns of Yan, Yun, and Xu. If possible, it is best to clean up Ziqing Town together.This is all fat meat, the kind that can greatly enhance one's strength once eaten.

What are the benefits of fighting Xia Bandit in Henan Mansion?Both parties have suffered greatly.

If you send an army of more than [-] to Luoyang, you will be fooled by Thief Shao and led away by his nose.

Only by insisting on attacking the four towns of Yan, Yun, Xu, and Qing, and leveling your own rear, can you deploy troops westward to fight the Xia bandits in Luoyang and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Now it seems that Xia thief is also aware of this problem.

In the case of being unable to break through the mountains of Henan Province in a short period of time, it is indeed a wonderful move to send troops from Nanyang to the north.If left alone, Cai, Xu, Ying and other prefectures will be under considerable threat, regardless of other prefectures and counties.

It is almost inevitable for tens of thousands of troops to reinforce the empty Caizhou. As for whether they will cross the Huai River and enter the Shen, Guang, and An regions, it depends on the battle situation in Ruzhou.

For some reason, Ding Hui always felt that Thief Shao would play other tricks.Maybe Henan Mansion, maybe Heyang, the possibility of facing a big war is quite high.

This just doesn't want us to free up our hands!

For the first time, Ding Hui was a little uncertain about the future situation. With such a disgusting enemy, Henan's geographical disadvantages were fully exposed.

……

Shao Shude received the news on the tenth night of November.

Maid Zhao grabbed the military newspaper, stepped over the scattered skirts and small clothes, and gently leaned down to Shao Shude's ear, reporting the news.

Zhuge just came to Longchi Palace from Lingzhou, her tender body was huddled in Shao Shude's arms, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously tightened the quilt.

Shao Shude took the military newspaper and glanced at it. It turned out to be Zhao Shu.

This woman has become more and more slender in the past two years, and now she is leaning over there, her chest is completely exposed, and it is white.

Zhao Jian's granddaughter and Zhao Ye's daughter, her identity reminded Shao Shude of the battle in Central Sichuan.

After Ximen Wentong got the imperial edict, he was promoted to Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu envoy, and progressed smoothly. He had already captured Chengdu and captured Chen Jingxuan.

At the same time, Zhu Mei completely digested the two towns of Dongchuan and Suizhou, and the contradiction between Ximen Wentong, who occupied the two towns of Xichuan and Qiongnan, became more and more obvious.

Sandwiched among them are small warlords such as Zhao Jian, Man Cun, and Li Ting, who must now make a choice.

Chuanzhong is about to usher in the final annexation war.

"Zhao Kuanglin and Wang Yu played well." Shao Shude smiled after watching.

Zhao Shu still leaned over there, as if she couldn't hear Shao Shude's words clearly when she stood up straight.

"Crisis is a crisis, there is an opportunity in a crisis, and there is a danger in an opportunity. This killing field is really frightening every step of the way." Shao Shude hugged Zhao Shu to the bed, pulled away the things that were in the way of her chest, and played with it casually. while thinking.

Zhuge closed his eyes and buried his face in the quilt.

Zhu Quanzhong should still have a lot of troops, and the old man is still under great pressure.

If an army of [-] scales overwhelms Tang Deng, Suike will be fully on the defensive, and it will be very dangerous at that time.

I still have to give Zhu Quanzhong another shot in the north!

It has been nearly a month since Gao Renhou led the army to attack Qiziling, and the casualties were not small, but they still failed to break through.

Perhaps, it's time to change the direction, such as sending all the way to the division, borrowing from the righteous brother, going to Zelu, leaving Baixing, and attacking Huai and Meng.

Or, simply play bigger and invite Yibro to go south with him to attack Heyang.

Luo Hongxin raided Shi Yan and killed more than [-] cavalry from the east of the river. Wouldn't this revenge be avenged?

Can you bear such a slap in the face?
As long as the brother-in-law is mobilized, even if he doesn't attack Heyang or invade Weibo, Zhu Quanzhong will save him. Doesn't this relieve the pressure on the southern front?

The more Shao Shude thought about it, the more excited he became, his right hand lightly stroked Zhuge's face, and then pressed her head.

Zhuge looked at Shao Shude with eyes begging for mercy, tears rolled in his eyes.

Shao Shude increased his strength, and Zhuge disappeared under the blanket.

The army all the way attacked Xiashibao, the army all the way attacked Qiziling, and the army left Zezhou all the way, and went south to Heyang with Li Hanzhi.

The righteous brother withdrew from Youzhou again and dispatched a large army to attack Weibo.

This picture is so beautiful, Shao Shude closed his eyes, constantly sketching the marching routes of various armies in his mind.

He sighed contentedly, and his hands became stronger.

Send envoys to Jinyang and Youzhou tomorrow.

The plan has been decided, Shao Shude is in a good mood, and can enjoy the two beauties with peace of mind.

On the second day, Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng were found.

"Can you convince Li Keyong to withdraw his troops and attack Weibo?" Shao Shude asked straight to the point.

Chen and Zhao looked at each other.

Chen Cheng cleared his throat, and said first: "Commander, if he is humiliated like this according to Li Keyong's temper, he will definitely send troops to punish him. But there is no movement now. It is obvious that the situation in Youzhou is very difficult and cannot be moved for the time being." .”

"How about sending some troops?" Shao Shude asked.

"Maybe you can try it. If you can talk it out, it will be very useful." Zhao Guangfeng said.

"An Jinjun has more than 1 horses, and Li Hanzhi also has more than 3. If [-] people are brought back from Youzhou to gather a [-] army, although Wei Bo cannot be destroyed, it is not difficult to force Zhu Quanzhong to come to his aid." Shao Shude said : "We will try our best to fight for this matter. If brother-in-law is willing to attack Weibo for revenge, I will send [-] troops to attack Huaizhou through Zezhou."

Tianzhu, Shunyi and other troops have returned to Lingxia to rest.

The Wuxing and Guzhen armies had already marched to Heluo, and the Jinglue army was also on their way to Xiaoxian County.

In addition, Lu Huaizhong of the Wuwei Army has passed the Pujin Pass floating bridge and entered the Hezhong Mansion.

Shao Shude made the calculations, the Tielin Army stayed in Jinjiang, and the troops he could use were about [-] cavalry from the Wuwei Army and the Feilong Army. If this army came out of Zezhou, it might be able to play a certain role.

For a monster like Zhu Quanzhong, he had to be constantly worn down and attacked repeatedly, making it difficult for him to take care of one thing and lose another.

It's a plan to exhaust the enemy, of course we will be exhausted to the end.
