Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 642
After the Battle of Feishui, the Huai soldiers did not dare to stay for long, so they abandoned the Hedong camp on the same day and rushed back to Luzhou.

Shao Shude dispatched part of Tianxiong's army to the south, and Shengtang and Huoshan counties were abandoned by Huai soldiers, and they recovered without bloodshed.

The cavalry from the ancient tribes failed to pursue Heiyun. After becoming angry, they rushed directly into Shucheng County, requisitioned (big) grain (plundered) more than [-] dendrobium, and returned hundreds of chariots and horses.

People in the five counties of Luzhou were panicked, and the wilderness was full of hungry and tired soldiers.

Zhu Yanshou hurried to Hefei with [-] infantry.

Among the 3000 people, there are still 1000 Tutuan peasants, and only [-] soldiers can really fight.There are more than [-] state soldiers in Hefei, and the [-] Luzhou cavalry have also come back early. With these [-] cavalry, most of them can only defend the city, and their strength is greatly reduced.

What Zhu Yanshou really needs to worry about in the future is his status in the Yang-Wu Group.

He was originally a powerful governor of the border county, but now he has become an elite and ruined shabby household. How to gain a foothold in the future is indeed a problem.

Shao Shude didn't bother to deal with Zhu Yanshou's troubles, he just wanted to stabilize the front line.

Regarding the official establishment of Huaixi Town (jurisdiction over the four prefectures of Shenguang, Shou'an, and Gwangju), he has already got through with Zhezong.

Zhezong originally sent his confidant servant to bring a sentence: "My son-in-law thinks so much all day, isn't he tired? Let's do it like this."

Zhe Zongben has been nesting in Tangzhou recently.

The scene Shao Shude created was too great, and the only remaining food, grass, and supplies were tilted to the east line. With the army's supply running out, Zhe Zongben could only be returned.

In fact, Shao Shude still admired the Zhejiajun. It was no problem to reduce the salary to live a hard life, and no one made a rebellion.This rule of law and nepotism does not seem to be all bad.

"Marshal, it's time to settle the Anzhou matter." On the way back to Shouchun, Chen Cheng suggested.

In this battle, he stayed in Anfeng County the whole time, and he was actually sweating a lot.

He was very opposed to Shao Shude fighting in person, even going to the front line to fight.But there is no way, self-made protagonists are self-willed capital, they are not good at the hands of women in deep palaces, but really climb the ice and lie on the snow, their hands are covered with blood, and their every move is not angry. Feel.

I can't persuade you!

"Let Chen Su go to Shenzhou to join Niu Li's headquarters and go south to Anzhou." Shao Shude said: "Take all the prisoners of the Huai army."

In this battle, a total of nearly [-] levels were beheaded, and a Jingguan pile was built on the west bank of Feishui. The Huai bandits were frightened and fled overnight.

In addition, more than [-] people were captured.Shao Shude ordered everyone to "prepare more long ropes", and now it seems that they have come in handy.

It is worth mentioning that this incident was widely circulated in the army. Everyone said that the king regarded the bandit army like a chicken and a dog. Defeating the enemy and destroying the dead has come true.

Unevenness, after this kind of story spreads, it will become an allusion of King Xia.As for heroes, they always rely on many small stories to enrich their images.

By the way, they fought with the Liang people repeatedly and captured more than [-] people in total.Counting this, there were more than ten thousand prisoners.How to arrange these people has to be carefully considered.

If they are arranged in Shannan Dongdao, Tang Deng Sui or Huaixi nearby, I am worried that they will run away.However, the cost of moving away is not small, and it is really difficult to choose.

"How does the commander plan to deal with Wu Yu?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Wu Yu, the evidence of his collusion with Yang Xingmi is solid, and I wanted to kill him. This time I am in a good mood, so I will give him a chance." Shao Shude said: "If he leaves the city, he can serve in the Shuofang shogunate and send his salary to Shangzhou Inspector, if you leave the city, you will be killed, there is nothing to say."

Shao Shude just received the news yesterday that his favorite daughter Caiwei recovered from a serious illness, and he was overjoyed.

Caiwei is four years old this year, born to Zhao Yu, and among the seven biological daughters, she is the most loved by Shao Shude.

Pei Zhenyi also gave birth to a daughter in mid-October last year. She was also sick a while ago, but she just recovered recently.

With double happiness at the door, Shao Shude kindly gave Wu Yu a chance, hoping he could seize it.

"There is also Qizhou Feng Jingzhang." Chen Cheng said: "This man was born as a Cai thief, and he is very fierce. I heard that Yang Xingmi wanted to send the Cai people from Heiyundu to win over Feng Jingzhang. The commander must take all precautions."

"There are Cai people in Xingmi, so I don't have Cai people?" Shao Shude wondered: "Cui Hong and Cui Xiu's generation, can't they have a relationship with Feng Jingzhang?"

"Heiyun Duqi general Chai Zaiyong is close to General Feng Jingzhang Jia Gongduo, Cui Hong and Cui Xiu..." Chen Cheng was a little embarrassed, and said: "Cui Hong's reputation is not very good, and all the gangsters don't like him. Cui Xiu seems to have a gap with Feng Jingzhang."

Shao Shude laughed loudly when he heard the words: "What kind of crooked melons and cracked dates do I collect?"

Chen Cheng smiled wryly.

"Jia Gongduo, I seem to have heard of this person's name." Shao Shude recalled a little, and asked: "Qizhou was heavily besieged by Huai soldiers. Jia Gongduo led the army to help, broke the siege army of Huai people, and rushed into the city. Is this the person?" ?”

"Yes. The backbone of Qizhou is the Cai, Ying, and Chen thieves who fled there." Chen Cheng replied, "It's actually not difficult to fight."

"Let the Zhe family take care of this in the future." Shao Shude waved his hand to stop Chen Cheng, and said, "You can try to win them over, but you don't have to pave the way for them. I'm not going to spend much energy on Huainan."

Chen Cheng lowered his head and said yes.

He is satisfied because he has found out the information he wants.

The establishment of Huaixi Town is already a very clear signal.Tang Deng followed Shen Guangshou to An Qizhou and handed over all of them to Zhejia to fully mobilize their enthusiasm and squeeze their potential.This is more cost-effective than directly ruling from a distance, and it is more cost-effective to invest a lot of resources, and it is more effective. It can make Zhu Quanzhong always feel like he is on the southern front.

In addition, Zhao Kuanglin, the governor of Suizhou, Chen Su, the governor of Shenzhou, and even Zhu Jing, the governor of Shouzhou, can be regarded as nails.Zhejia is far from fully controlling the land of the Seven States.

On the second day of May, Shao Shude arrived in Shouzhou.The governor Zhu Jing went out of the city ten miles to meet him.

Defeating Zhu Yanshou not only shocked the Huai people, but even Zhu Jing was shocked.

If Yang Xingmi wanted to win him over, Zhu Jing would doubt his strength, would it work?Zhu Jing would never consider investing in Yang Wu unless he was at the end of the mountain or feared that his territory would be seized.

As for Zhu Quanzhong's win over, the possibility is not great.

Qi Bizhang ran wildly in Songzhou, and Liang Jun frantically intercepted them. It took them two days to drive them out of Songzhou and break into Xuzhou to wreak havoc.

Xue Li's headquarters are still active in the area of ​​Zheng and Hua.

In such a mess, as long as Zhu Jing is not stupid, he will definitely not take refuge in the past.

The harvest from the First World War was so great, it was indeed somewhat beyond Shao Shude's expectations.

Well, I have to thank Zhu Yanshou, it wasn't your wave battle, I'm afraid it didn't have such a good effect.

……

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month in the second year of Qianning, Niu Li led more than ten thousand soldiers and horses to go south to Anzhou.

The core is the 4000 Tianxiong Army, plus [-] soldiers from Chen Su, the governor of Shenzhou, and [-] people from Cui Hong's department. They rushed all the way, and arrived in Anlu County, Anzhou Lisuo, on May [-]th.

Wu Yu was indecisive in the city, anxious and anxious.

Yang Xingmi's envoy left long ago, taking away the official seal of Anzhou Governor and Wu Yu's letter of loyalty.

Of course, this does not mean that Wu Yu has turned to Yang Wu. In fact, he is just continuing to be his tyrant in order to consolidate his power.

But hooking up with Yangzhou is not fake, is it?

If Shao Shude were to be investigated, he would kill his whole family, which is quite normal.

As for the nominal boss, Du Hong, E Yue Jiedu envoy, Wu Yu didn't think of it at all.

Du Hong is now just the governor of Ezhou, who can he keep?

In the afternoon, Cui Xiu, envoy of Lishanguan Town to stop troops and horses, came to visit the city, and Wu Yu invited him to his study.

"Wu Shijun is so confused!" As soon as Cui Xiu met, he stomped his feet anxiously and sighed.

Wu Yu didn't speak, just stared at Cui Xiu who was still performing there.

Cui Xiu was also thick-skinned, and kept saying: "The king of Xia defeated Zhu Yanshou in Feishui, beheaded four thousand ranks, captured dozens of generals, and five thousand soldiers. After the victory, King Xia set up a banquet with wine. It is said that this battle also has a contribution from the military envoy."

"This..." Wu Yu was dumbfounded, and asked, "I haven't accomplished an inch in this battle, so I can't deserve King Xia's absurd praise."

"Your Majesty said you have it, so you have it." Cui Xiu said without changing his face, "Is it not a meritorious service to transport [-] dendrobiums of grain, [-] bundles of hay, [-] donkeys and mules, and [-] bundles of arrows?"

Wu Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Is Zhu Yanshou really defeated?"

"It's a real defeat." Cui Xiu also suppressed the smirk on his face, and said seriously: "The Huai thieves and captured soldiers will arrive at the city of Anzhou in two days. At that time, the military envoy can take a closer look. If you don't believe it, you can also Please take a look at the general Zuo Wenli who is familiar with the Huai army, see if there is anyone he knows."

Wu Yu's complexion was a little bad, and he asked: "Zhu Yanshou boasted that he had ten thousand elite soldiers, and all of them collapsed?"

"It can't be broken anymore." Cui Xiu laughed again, and said: "Li Lin, a disciple of King Xia and ten generals of the Tianxiong Army, led hundreds of brave and fearless people to destroy Zhu Yanshou's army, and Yanshou rode alone. Go away, run away in a hurry. On the west bank of Feishui, the corpses of Luzhou soldiers piled up like a mountain, and to the east of Feishui, Xu Wen burned the camp and fled at night, but he didn't even dare to stay."

Wu Yu picked up the tea bowl and took three sips.

"By the way, I heard that Wu Shijun also fought against Huai thieves. Quzhang of Huangzhou robbed Anzhou several times, and the general of Anzhou must have hated him to the bone." Cui Xiu glanced at Wu Yu and said: "Wu Shijun How about sending people to Shouzhou to have a look, the capital built by the heads of the Huai bandits is still there, you should be relieved."

Wu Yu took another sip of tea.

"Almost forgot something!" Cui Xiu suddenly slapped his thigh, and said: "Xia Wang feels that the military envoy is loyal, and wants to entrust the envoy with the post of judge in the shogunate, and lead the governor of Tongzhou from afar. Congratulations to the military envoy, fellow The prefecture is Shangzhou, and the governor's annual salary is a thousand, which is really a good job. The king of Xia also said that if you don't want to enter the Shuofang shogunate, you can also enter the court."

Wu Yu's face twitched.

Cui Xiu did not speak, but waited patiently.

"What kind of job can I get in the court?" After waiting for half an hour, Wu Yu suddenly sighed and asked.

"The position of Doctor Censor has just been vacated, and it seems that he can be granted this position." Cui Xiu pretended to think for a while, and replied.

There is a doctor in Yushitai, who is the third rank.

"The doctor is in charge of correcting the crimes of officials with criminal laws and regulations", which is actually a relatively noble position.

Wu Yu is the governor of Anzhou, and Anzhou is the governor's mansion of the central capital, and the governor is also a third-rank official.Moreover, the position is relatively noble, but the real power is lost, which is the biggest loss.But to be honest, it’s all here, what choice is there?Shao Shude is kind, he didn't kill you, but handed you over to a noble court official, which is the utmost benevolence.

"I would like to join the court." Wu Yu closed her eyes and said softly.

"Congratulations, Doctor Wu, haha!" Cui Xiu persuaded another person, laughing with joy in his heart.
