Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 677
The eleventh day of the first month of the third year of Qianning, the day after the war.

The German army has been disabled.Of the 800 infantry that went out, there are still 500 who can move. It is estimated that there are still a few hundred who return to the team after recovering from injuries. In the end, it would be good to have [-] left.

Cai Songyang also temporarily recruited some Tutuan peasants and the Youguo Army to join the army, and there are more than 1000 of these people left.Fighting all the way, showing affection, he doesn't plan to release these people, just report them, and put their names in the Yamen's register. From now on, they will all be members of the Tiande Army, let's slowly increase their combat effectiveness.

Of course, the Tiande Army fought very well this time. After the battle, not only the soldiers will be rewarded for their meritorious service, but the troops will also be expanded. This is the usual practice of the Xia Army.

The Changzhi army had been destroyed, and the Tiande army, which had been fighting with a sigh of relief, suddenly relaxed, and it was indeed powerless to fight any more.Moreover, Cai Songyang, the military envoy who has been giving blood to the soldiers and encouraging them to perform at a super level, was wounded like a rag sack, so the whole army broke out of camp and set off after eating breakfast, escorting three thousand long straight troops The captives retreated to Luoyang.

There are [-] surrendered troops in Luoyang, from the Youguo Army, guarded by Ma Sixun and Duan Ning.

Nearly [-] surrendered troops from the Youguo Army in Bai Sima Ban were sent to attack the city, but their morale was low, and their combat effectiveness could not be displayed at all. The remaining [-] soldiers had been sent back to Heyang.

The Chishui army also captured some people, but they were also exhausted in the siege battle.

Wang Yu of the Dingyuan Army captured more than 2000 prisoners, and they have been transferred to Xiao County. They are currently being escorted to Heyang by the Heyuan Army who came up from Tongguan.

Unknowingly, in the ten days since the start of the war, more than ten thousand enemies have been captured - the composition is more complicated, there are regular government troops such as Changzhi Army and Youguo Army, there are soldiers from Heluo Prefecture County, and there are also Tutuan villagers.

After the Tiande army retreated, the morale of the Tianxiong army was like a rainbow, and they led more than a thousand Guan Beifans to ride southward, and camped outside Yique Pass.

Zang Dubao and Niu Li carefully observed the mountains and rivers while sending envoys to surrender.

There are 2000 elite long straight troops in the pass, plus [-] Tutuan villagers from Yique County, and [-] people guarding it. Judging from this terrain, it is really not easy to attack by force, and the casualties may be unbearable.

The most important thing is that there are only [-] defenders according to the previous information. Who knows how many people there are now.

Good news also came from the Yumen Army. They raided and occupied Zhiyuan Pass in the southeast of Yanshi County, and then stood by and waited for reinforcements according to the order.

As for the main force of the Yumen Army, they diverted to Taigu Pass.This pass is fifty miles southeast of Luoyang, and 2000 people from the Changzhi Army just retreated here the night before.

Wang Yu, the envoy of the Dingyuan Army, led 7000 infantrymen and had just arrived at Yihewu, the county seat of Fuchang, and it was still four days away from Luoyang.Poor old Wang has always wanted to fight the culprits, but this battle was fought too fast, and he missed it again, so he can only look forward to making meritorious deeds in the next stage of the war.

The battle situation on the southern front of Luoyang is basically like this. The destruction of the main force of the Changzhi Army's right wing is the biggest result, and the others are much inferior.

The next job is to clear the isolated enemy strongholds in the rear.Both persuasion and force must be prepared to ensure that they can be defeated as quickly as possible.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, after sending his wife and children back to Longchi Palace in Anyi, Shao Shude traveled eastward to Heyang again.

The Tielin army handed over to Yeli Yulue, and walked through Zhiguan to Huaizhou.This is a huge force, and it would be a pity not to go to war.

Moreover, after a lot of personnel have been exchanged between the left and right hatchbacks, part of the running-in between them has been resolved in training, and the rest has to be honed on the battlefield.

Shao Shude's initial intention was to let them participate in the siege of Heyang South City.

Gao Renhou's troops are actually not very abundant.The Tiande army was disabled, and Shao Shude ordered them to go back to the river to rest and reorganize, adding 8000 infantry, and the whole army reached [-].As for the source of soldiers, the coach of the capital made the yamen select and send [-] masters first, and fill in the remaining gap from the soldiers who surrendered.

The Hezhong Ya army also lost a lot. The whole army was less than [-], and the number of staff was reduced by more than [-]%.Shao Shude ordered them to return to Huojia County, Heyang to rest and serve as a reserve team, but they were not allowed to return to Puzhou.

Wang Yao has a total of [-] soldiers and horses. In recent years, he has sent half of his troops to fight for Shao Shude many times, and his performance is really good.

The Chishui army is still attacking Gong County, fighting very urgently. It is said that it is about to be defeated, but its own staff has been reduced by more than [-].But this is only a preliminary idea. In fact, it may not be possible. The current military strength is still very tight.

Xu Huaiyu's Department of the Liang Army who was firmly guarding Xin'an County already knew the news of the Battle of Luoyang.Surprisingly, guard Xu Huaiyu did not intend to surrender.He summoned all the generals to drink and weep bitterly, and everyone admired him.Then he ordered the east gate to be opened, and the soldiers who were willing to leave were let go, letting them find their own way of life.

There are about 4000 people left in the city, all of whom are his old subordinates for many years. They are considered diehards, and they still have to fight hard.

……

"Li Keyong defeated Lu Wenjin, Shan Keji, and Gao's brothers in Youzhou, captured and beheaded more than [-], and the two generals fled back in embarrassment. They sent envoys to surrender. Chengde Wang Rong was so frightened that he retreated back to Zhenzhou to wait and see."

"Gao Siji and others abandoned Youzhou and led thousands of defeated troops to Khitan."

"Li Ke used Biao Kang to establish himself as the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou and the envoy of Lu Long's army, and ordered Li Cun, his adopted son who had made great contributions this time, to enter Tan and Jizhou to assist Liu Rengong and prepare for the Khitan people."

"The Hedong army is resting in Youzhou. It is estimated that after the Spring Festival, they will go south and attack Lu and Shan."

Inside the Golden Immortal Temple, Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng were reporting news about Youzhou to Shao Shude.

Marshal Shao arrived at Wangwu Mountain with a thousand soldiers.Instead of being a "sage", he became a "warrior" again, and all the female officials stayed in Longchi Palace.

But Jinxian Temple, this place...

Liu Jingxuan was in front, and Chu Shi and Xie Shi came in with tea.Even Chu's daughter followed quietly, bringing up a plate of melons and fruits.

You see, there are still many women.

"Li Keyong still has to keep an eye on that side." Shao Shude said: "Once he calms down the situation in Youzhou, he will report it immediately."

"Yes." The two replied in unison.

"The officers and soldiers conquered Hanzhou and killed Yang Chongben. However, Li Maozhen has pulled out, so I have to keep an eye on him. Li Yixian, I'm afraid he will suffer." Shao Shude tapped the table with his index finger habitually, and said to Chuanzhong The situation is still a little uneasy.

"Commander, Chuanzhong will not hinder the overall situation, just let General Li fight steadily." Chen Cheng said.

"Maybe we can transfer Xingyuan troops to the south. Zhuge Zhongfang evaded all kinds of excuses and refused to send troops. The commander-in-chief can send envoys to warn him." Zhao Guangfeng also suggested.

There have been rumors recently that after Li Kuangwei escaped, he was secretly taken in by Zhuge Zhongfang.However, Jiang Dewen, the secretary of Shannan Xidao Jiedu, has been bedridden with serious illness since last year, and his control over the town has declined, so this is still possible.

"Let's wait for the matter of Xingyuan Mansion." Shao Shude sighed, and said, "When the time is right, I will let Zhuge Zhongfang move the town. If he refuses, there will be a problem."

Now it is impossible to draw out troops. The affairs in the west should be stable if they can be stabilized, and they must be stable if they cannot be stabilized. Shao Shude doesn't want to worry about it for the time being.

Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng understood Shao Shude's attitude, so they did not discuss this matter.

"Yang Xingmi attacked Anzhou, and Shi Zan was defeated. Is the Yushan Army worthy of the battle?" Shao Shude brought up the Huainan incident again, obviously in a bad mood.

Of course, whether the Yushan Army can fight or not, Chen and Zhao are naturally not as clear as he, a warrior.In fact, according to Shao Shude's judgment, there are still too many veterans in the Shence Army in the Yushan Army. After cleaning up and rectifying for so long, the effect is not obvious.We have to do more rectification and rectification, and go through a few more wars.

"Commander, Huainan is actually nothing serious." Chen Cheng said again: "After the Battle of Feishui, Zhu Yanshou was frightened. I heard that he has been training his troops recently. He should not dare to provoke Shouzhou again in a short time. Only Quzhang of Huangzhou He has never suffered a loss and is more active. It is not uncommon for Anzhou to be unable to resist the enemy. Now we can make him guard the door and use defense instead of attack. Let's stabilize the situation first."

Huainan is the same as Hanzhong, Chen Cheng's opinion is still based on defense.

Yang Xingmi definitely wanted to relieve Zhu Quanzhong's pressure, but he wouldn't make a fool of himself.Sending an army to attack Anzhou and expand in the direction of Ezhou is the most likely thing he will do at this stage, and he has indeed done so.

"Commander, as long as Yang Xingmi doesn't send the main force, Anzhou will be fine. I agree with Chen Changshi's opinion, just keep it. There is no need to compete with Xingmi." Zhao Guangfeng also said .

"Forget it, let's do it this way. I will send someone alone to warn Xia Shizan to work harder." Shao Shude said with a smile.

After talking about Youzhou, Xichuan, and Huainan, the three "monarchs and ministers" talked about Weibo again.

This feudal town is still very important in Shao Shude's heart. It is connected to Hedong and Henan, and it is a part of Hebei. It can be said that it is at a crossroads, and its location is very critical.

The most important thing is that it has a large population, is rich and rich, and has a profound heritage.

"Li Hanzhi is about to run away." Shao Shude picked out a military newspaper, shook it, and said, "Luo Hongxin's army is encircling and suppressing, and the people of Ze are full of plunder, and they don't want to fight hard, so they have already started to flee. After Li Hanzhi left, How the situation in Weibo will develop, and whether it will affect our army's war in Henan, you two should think about it and come up with a strategy as soon as possible for me to see."

"Of course." The two replied.

Its own strength is already very strong, attracting the attention of the world.That fellow Zhu Quanzhong also made up small compositions for him every day, further damaging the reputation of Marshal Shao.There is also Wang Shifan, who is stupid in reading, who is like a troll. He regards himself as a loyal minister and calls Shao Shude a traitor.Shao Shude didn't bother to talk to him at first, but after being scolded for a long time, he felt very upset - fuck you, I have no grievances with you, why scold me every day?

Now that the Heluo battle has become very clear, Liang Ren was a little confused by a series of combined punches, he lost his helmet and armor, and suffered countless casualties.After the news spreads, the princes of the world will be even more terrified, and it is foreseeable that the diplomatic environment will further deteriorate.

Wei Boluo Hongxin is not a fool, nor is he a mediocre person. As far as his heart is concerned, he will definitely not lean towards Shao Shude, and he needs to be vigilant in this direction.

After finishing his official duties, Shao Shude went to visit the Xiajiang family.

The little girl's belly is already very high, and if there are no accidents, she will give birth next month.

Sister-in-law Lu has been taking care of her.Recently, Guanzhong has gained some more manpower, which was sent by Wang Yanfan.That's right, it was the envoy of the Sixteenth King's House who failed to compete with Liu Jingxuan for the envoy of Luo Yuan.With more people, "old people" like Chu and Lu don't have to do farm work, which is much easier.

After talking for a while, Shao Shude got up and left, and took a nap in Chu's room.

"Your Majesty—" Li Zhong shouted softly outside the door during Shen Shi.

"Your Majesty, don't—" Mrs. Chu struggled violently, "You will be ashamed to see others..."

"What's the matter?" After a long time, Shao Shude let go of his iron-like hands and asked lazily.

Mrs. Chu sighed softly, and buried her face in Shao Shude's arms.

"Your Majesty, Gao Dutou reports that Gong County has been conquered, and two thousand bandits have been captured." Li Zhong said softly.

"Crack!" Shao Shude slapped hard, his voice was extremely clear, and Chu's face was almost buried in his creaking nest.

"Great kindness!" Shao Shude said happily: "There is another hidden danger in the rear. Let Hu Zhen persuade Huo Cun and his son to surrender."

"Obey." Li Zhong left lightly.
