Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 664 Patience
Zhang Guihou rushed up with a thousand heavy cavalry.

Hundreds of Fanqi came up to meet them, shot arrows from a distance, and blocked them slowly.However, the power of cavalry bows was too weak and their damage was limited. As a last resort, they drew out the short weapons in their sheaths and went up to them, but they were rushed away by the heavy cavalry.

But being blocked by them, the Chishui Army cavalry who rushed into the camp also withdrew one after another.

They took advantage of the speed of their horses, disengaged, and regrouped in the distance.

The halls were all the same, and Qian rode across the stone bridge and got off his horse.

Holding big crossbows, they slowly lined up and marched along the wall.

"Don't bother General Zhang to send you off." Liang Hanyong shouted from a distance: "Come back in two days."

After all, thousands of people left like a gust of wind.

Zhang Guihou didn't intend to chase after him.The heavy cavalry couldn't catch up, and there were too few light cavalry. If they caught up with five, they might be killed.

Zhu Hanbin rushed out of the camp in a state of embarrassment, cursing at the departing cavalrymen of the Xia army.

This battle was really disappointing. Po Xiadu's new recruits were inexperienced, and they watched the thieves break through in a daze, making a mess.As a result, the three hundred veterans under him were unable to perform, and were beaten to shame.

"In another day, we will kill the thief in Anyi, cut off the dog's head of the thief Shao, and present his wife to the King of Liang." Zhu Hanbin pretended to be heroic and cursed a few words, faintly touching the wound on his back, grinning for a while.

The soldiers of Luoyan Capital stood aside, silent.

To be honest, they also looked down on Zhu Hanbin a bit.

When King Liang attacked Yan and Yun in the east, he saw that there was a sergeant in Zhu Jin's tent, with two geese tattooed on his cheeks, named "Yanzi Capital", so he chose hundreds of warriors, set them as "Luoyan Capital", and handed them over to Zhu Hanbin to command.

But what credit does Zhu Hanbin have?Wu Yong is not necessarily better than others, why?
Zhang Guihou didn't bother to pay attention to this man, got off his horse and went to comfort the injured sergeant.

On the city tower, Zhu Quanzhong held the wine bottle still, staring at the Shiqiao battlefield where the fight had just ended.

He was deeply impressed by Xia Bandit's decisive and brave style, he was no worse than those bloody old Yamen under him.Compared with them, the Po Xiadu formed by the children of rich families in Bianzhou are just like helpless girls, allowed to be ravaged by these strong men.

It is enough to have a strong backbone of officers and veterans, leading a group of recruits, fighting farming and fighting peasants and soldiers, but it is still not enough to deal with these brutal professional warriors who kill people for a living.

Fortunately, the halls have saved some face.

They are also children of rich families, but they have been fighting for many years and have superb skills.During the confrontation just now, many thieves were beheaded, but it was still a bit embarrassing after all.

"Marshal..." Jing Xiang was about to speak when Zhu Quanzhong stopped him.

Zhu Quanzhong drank the wine in his glass, laughed, and said, "What a big deal. In the battle of Bajiao Town, Qin Zongquan had an army of more than [-] troops, with a battalion for dozens of miles. Our army lost the first battle, and people were panicked. Destroy all the bandits."

Of course, compared with the battle of Bajiao Town, Zhu Quanzhong concealed a key fact, that is, the brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brought tens of thousands of Yan and Yun troops for reinforcements, and Zhu Zhen brought more than 1 troops raised from Ziqing. The recruits returned quietly, and finally joined forces inside and outside, attacking back and forth, and defeated Qin Zongquan.

"What the commander-in-chief said is very true." Wei Zhao joked, "The thieves were defeated and fled in a hurry. Why don't you let Zhang Du generals pursue them and leave all the thieves behind?"

Zhu Quanzhong glanced at him, and Jing Xiang also glanced at him, not knowing if this person was a "high-level black man".

"Marshal, we have to drive them away, the farther away from Bianzhou the better." Jing Xiang said: "To avoid panic."

Zhu Quanzhong hesitated, and asked: "There was a military report before, that the Xia bandits gathered a large number of soldiers and horses in the two cities of Guanghe and Banzhu. There were almost [-] people. Is this true?"

"It may not be true." Jingxiang said: "But we must guard against it."

He could only say so much, no matter how much he said, he didn't know how to say it.There is so much fog in Heyang, it is difficult to know where the main force of the Shao bandits is located.

On the other hand, after playing for so many years, their passive defense has almost become clear.

Can that bunch of people like Hu Zhen not know?Don't those people in Dinghui know?Don't Zhu Zhen and Shi Shucong's troops know that Qi Bizhang is stirring up wind and rain?Don't you know that Pang Shigu is guarding the Dahe line of defense?
This is the disadvantage of being beaten passively, and the initiative is in the hands of the opponent.

"Give Zhu Zhen an order, Jianrui, Jiama, Qinqi, and Baibai Fourth Army's western transfer, with Deng Jiyun as the commander and Zhang Yun as his deputy." Zhu Quanzhong ordered.

Jing Xiang is very satisfied.

Pang Shigu's soldiers and horses could not move.Thieves Shao dragged around in the east, probably trying to force them to mobilize Pang Shigu's troops to reinforce Bianzhou and open up the gap.If the Shao bandits gathered a large army in Heyang, and they would go south like a torrent, the situation in Luo, Meng, and Zheng would be in danger.

Now is the time to compete for patience, you must hold your breath, and don't be fooled by Shao thief.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the guards and soldiers commanded Zhang Lang to go up the tower, and whispered something in Zhu Quanzhong's ear.

"Wow!" Zhu Quanzhong turned over the case with a kick, his face was scary.

Everyone didn't know why, and looked over one after another.

"Let Yuan Xiang roll here first!" Zhu Quanzhong flicked his robe sleeves and went directly down the tower.

If Jingxiang realizes something, something must have happened to Mrs. Zhu, the sister of King Liang and wife of Pengcheng County!
……

On the snowfield, thousands of horses are galloping, and flags are flying.

The Feilong Army and the Taining Army left Xiapi County, crossed the mountains, and entered Yizhou.

"Huai people are nothing more than that." The sergeants laughed and got off their horses one after another to rest.

The county magistrate drove a large herd of pigs and sheep over to work in the army.After all, it was the proper meaning to be in Zhu Jin's territory.

"You can't let the elders of Yizhou suffer." Qi Bizhang called the official and gave some instructions.

Soon, a batch of money, silk, gold and silverware looted from Sizhou flowed into Cheng County.

"General Qibi has the style of a famous general." General Yan Bao and Kang Huaiying were on the side, and they were amazed when they saw this.

Warriors these days are not so easy to talk about.Zhu Quanzhong's Liang army was one of those who really strictly controlled military discipline. They didn't harass the people very much, and they didn't plunder on their own territory.

I didn't know how Xia Jun's military discipline was before, but now it looks pretty good.

There are robberies, but they really don't kill people randomly.Moreover, the so-called looting is also very orderly. Private looting is strictly prohibited, and those who violate it will be beheaded. It is all organized looting. Of course they call this "donation".

"Yang Xingmi treats guests naturally and generously." Qi Bizhang laughed.

On this trip, they set off from Yanzhou, broke into Xuzhou, and after mobilizing the Liang army, they entered Suzhou again, and were chased and intercepted by the overwhelming Liang army, and even Zhu Zhen's troops went south for reinforcements.As a last resort, he rushed eastward directly into the territory of Sizhou, then circled around and returned to the territory of the Taining Army.

Yan Bao and Kang Huaiying laughed out loud.

This trip, they also made a lot of money, mainly light silk, and everyone was beaming.

In the past, in wars, they always fought head-on with others. There were too many casualties, and they were often defeated.Now it's so comfortable to go around in circles to avoid reality and pretend to be nothing.

Another advantage is that Qi Bizhang, a general who was born as a grassland chieftain, really knows how to act in the enemy's hinterland.Hit and run, rob and slip, maybe it's the talent of the prairie barbarians?
Zhu Jin stood far away, expressionless.

On the way, Qi Bizhang confessed to him, and then he will go north, looking for opportunities to raid Cao, Hua, Song and other places.

Zhu Jin didn't plan to follow.With such a big mouthful of anger, he was already satisfied.

According to what he knew about the Liang people, Shi Shucong and Zhu Zhen were likely to attack the Taining army when they became angry and had to guard against it.

The Xia people seem to have some tricks in fighting. Zhu Jin admires it in her heart, but of course she won't say it out loud.

After fighting with the Liang people for so long, the results in field battles were disastrous.Am I shameless?
Qi Bizhang's trip to Yun and Yan in the north was probably arranged in advance.It's winter, the Yellow River is freezing, Shao Shude is going to go south again, right?

Zhu Jin was deeply at a loss for the current situation, not knowing what to do and what not to do.

The reason for beating Zhu Quanzhong was a feeling of hatred, but after the beating was over, he felt dull, as if he shouldn't be beating.

what can I do?What can't you do?Zhu Jin only felt that his mind was muddled.Reminiscent of his elder brother Zhu Xuan's attitude, Zhu Jin was even more at a loss, and was stunned for a while.

……

"Gao Renhou is the commander of the capital. If he thinks it is necessary, he can do it." Shao Shude, who had just arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, made a decision.

This is Cuiwei Palace, formerly known as Taihe Palace, built by Gaozu.

In the 21st year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong suffered from the heat of the capital, sent people to repair it, and changed its name to Cuiwei Palace.In May of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong collapsed in the Hanfeng Hall of Cuiwei Palace, and since then there has been no emperor in Cuiwei Palace.

During the Yuanhe period of Emperor Xianzong, Cuiwei Palace was abolished and became Cuiwei Temple.After the chaos in the nest, all the monks died and dispersed, Shao Shude picked them up and used them as his departure palace.

The news of the Henan battlefield came one by one.

After reading all the military newspapers, Shao Shude and Gao Renhou felt that Liang Jun had not yet been fully mobilized.

It may take time, or it may require more troops.

Gao Renhou didn't intend to wait, and decided to send another 5000 people from the Flying Dragon Army to the battlefields of Huai and Bian, and add another size to see if Zhu Quanzhong could still sit still.

Troops have been dispatched.The reason why he wanted to report to Shao Shude was mainly because he wanted to keep the five thousand cavalry infantry in his hands and throw them out as a winning hand.But now it seems that the early trials did not achieve the expected results, and the plan was forced to change accordingly.

Shao Shude agreed to Gao Renhou's transfer.

Marching and fighting, what you want, the enemy will do what you want. This ideal situation is rare.

Thinking of this, Shao Shude asked Shangyi Du to fetch paper and pen, and wrote an order to transfer 500 German troops to the east to strengthen the strength of the Huaizhou camp.

After finishing writing, Mrs. Pei used the seal, and Mrs. Chen stepped forward to take it.

The two of them looked at each other inadvertently, and then quickly staggered away.

Chen's complexion did not change, it was still that graceful and indifferent expression.Mrs. Pei knelt beside Shao Shude, her face was bright red, and her snow-white thighs hidden in the hem of the wide and gorgeous skirt rubbed imperceptibly lightly.

Shao Shude patted Mrs. Pei lightly.Guochao’s Ruqun is good, without the concept of underwear, it’s so convenient.

This woman, I'm afraid she has Stockholm Syndrome?There is an abnormal worship of Shao Shude, a man who once directly controlled her life and death, and it is easy to get excited.

"Don't be in a hurry to accept the official seal." Shao Shude pressed Pei's hand, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Wanniang, come and write. I say, you write."

"Of course." Chen replied.

"The Fu Cunshen was appointed as the envoy of the Guansai system in the eastern capital, and the German army and the right side of the Baoyi army were controlled by him. The 4 villagers of Heyang Tutuan also belonged to him. Once the time is right, the whole army will immediately go south to build the city. "Shao Shude said.

Chen's writing was written at his desk, the handwriting was quite—huh?It's so hot!It's more majestic than Shao Shude's handwriting, no wonder Mrs. Chen used to laugh at him for learning Chinese from women.

Next time, I will practice calligraphy more on you!

"Recorded Shenzi Yanchao is the deputy general of the army, and he will come here soon." Shao Shude added another sentence.
