Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 808 Adjustment
On May [-]th, Shao Shude readjusted the direction of operations at the Fugou Conference.

The first is to stop the Luoyang camp and Tangzhou camp, and form the Xuzhou camp.

The command envoy of the battalion is the Zongben, leading the Weisheng Army, Huaining Army, Tiande Army, Iron Cavalry Army, Dingnan Army, Youguo Army, Jianrui Army, and Henan Fuzhou Army, with a total of no less than [-] cavalry. The main combat tasks It is to capture the three states of Ying, Bo, and Song, and at the same time put pressure on Bianzhou.

Tutuan countrymen, all dismissed.When they rush back home, they will almost be busy with the summer harvest.

Tianzhu, Wuwei, Chishui, Tianxiong, Guide, Huguo, Shunyi, Feilong and other armies returned to their station to rest.Counting from the beginning of the first month of last year, it has been almost a year and a half since he went abroad to fight, and it would be shameful not to go home again.

More than [-] troops from the Second Army of Wuxing, Guzhen and a part of the Zhenguo Army went to Henan to wait for dispatch.

The Zhenguo Army originally had 3 people, and 5000 people have been transferred to the front line to supplement the loss. At the end of April, another [-] people came to supplement the war damage. Now there are [-] people left, and half of them will be transferred, and there will be about [-] people left to guard Tongguan. .

It can be seen from this that Shao Shude has a lot of rotating troops under his account. This is the background - the front line cannot support too many troops, but I will come to the head office instead, right?
In addition, he also ordered to send more than [-] horses of various types to the Guangchengze Ranch and [-] horses to Longpijian.On the one hand, restore the scale of these two pastures, and on the other hand, reduce front-line food consumption.

Shayuanjian has 2 horses. Except for those returned to the imperial court, the other [-] well-fed horses were transferred to the east, [-] were sent to Guangchengze, and more than [-] were sent to the army.

As a result, Guozhou and Heyang pastures each have 8000 horses, Guangchengze has more than [-] horses, and Longpijian has [-] horses.The guards handed over all the horses to the Iron Cavalry and the Dingnan Second Army. These two armies have [-] people and [-] horses, and continue to operate on the front line.

After fighting for more than a year, the material consumption was huge, and the people in some states and counties were also extremely exhausted, and they urgently needed to take a breather.At this time, it is natural to save a little.

Shao Shude led his own bodyguards and [-] troops to sit in the rear, acting as a reserve team.

Well, the guards have become infantry.However, their horse riding skills are not comparable to professional warriors such as iron cavalry. After all, they are rural braves who train in slack farming and busy farming and animal husbandry.Strictly speaking, the proportion of infantry among them is very high, although the infantry combat skills are not very good.

Of course, it is too much to say that they are brave.The real combat strength should still be stronger than that of Xiangyong, at the same level as state and county soldiers, and they are well-equipped and brave in battle.Shao Shude planned to take care of their skill training himself, since he was idle anyway.

"I want to build a camp in Puzhou." On the outskirts of Fugou County, Shao Shude said to Li Tangbin: "After Bo, Song and other states are captured, the Iron Forest Army will arrive in Henan at the end of this month, and then I will hand over the 2 people to you. Take it to the Eastern Front, and don’t make any mistakes.”

Li Tangbin was startled, and said: "The Iron Forest Army is the King's personal army..."

"It's time for them to fight." Shao Shude sighed, and said, "If we don't see blood again, we'll be crippled. Taking advantage of the fact that there are still a lot of veterans who have fought bloody battles for many years, let the newcomers see what is real. Mortuary."

"Tielin Army and Feilong Army's right wing, temporarily use these two as the core, supplemented by a large number of surrendered troops, and attack the three towns of Yun, Yan, and Qing."

"As for the soldiers who surrendered, they captured a lot this time, more than [-]. They were all Xuanwu Yamen soldiers, and their combat power is not bad. As long as the morale problem is solved, they--" Shao Shude glanced at Li Tangbin, and said: "No better than you My favorite Tianzhu military officer."

Li Tangbin was sweating, not knowing what King Xia meant by saying that.It's true that I have had a close relationship with the old Tianzhu army recently, so I should restrain myself.

"Surrendering troops..." Shao Shude got on his horse, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have ordered all of them to be sent to Ruzhou for reorganization. As for how to reorganize, the military government is still discussing."

Shao Shude originally planned to gather more than ten main forces, and then to reorganize the whole army, with the size of more than one hundred thousand Xia troops, absorbing [-] to [-] Liang soldiers.Now it seems that such an opportunity is lacking, and the surrendered troops are scattered everywhere, unable to concentrate.

The troops of Ding Hui and Guo Shaobin surrendered to the formation system and are currently being used by the formation system. We have to find a way to digest them slowly in the future, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger.

"On the other hand, be careful of Wei Bo." Shao Shude raised his horsewhip, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Wei Bo cannot escape the military chaos in Yunzhen. After you go to Puzhou, be careful."

"Of order." Li Tangbin replied.

As the saying goes, if you want people to know, unless you do nothing, Luo Hongxin repented at a critical moment and forbade Liang Hanyong to return to Heyang with his troops. This attitude is very bad.

But for the time being, he is not the main direction of attack.

Zhu Quanzhong was still dying, so there was nothing to worry about.The next attack direction is the three towns of Yun, Yan, and Qing. If these towns are captured, there will be Henan Road.

Moreover, the three towns of Yun, Yan, and Qing are very fat and have a large population. They are much stronger than Guannei Road, Hedong Road, and Shannan Road, and their economy, technology, and culture are also more developed.The three towns had an army in the early 10,000s before Chao Chao, and this should be about the same, only [-]+, and the combat power is probably not comparable to before, especially the second town of Yun and Yan.

After eating these few places, who in the world can be the enemy?

******
On May [-]th of the fourth year of Qianning, Yang Xingmi happily entered Anzhou City.

I don't know how many times they have fought back and forth, and the siege of the city has been going on for several months. Under the attack of Wei San Que Yi, they finally broke through the state city, killed the assassin Shi Zheyou, and Yushandu commanded Shi Zan to flee.At the same time, they also took advantage of the situation to break through the Lishan Pass and obtained a passage to attack the north of the Dabie Mountains. In short, the results were very great.

"Anzhou, it's time to kill Du Hong."

"Du Hong doesn't have many troops anymore. Once Anzhou is defeated, he will stay behind closed doors, just like an old turtle."

"Du Hong's name is Jiedu envoy, but he is actually the governor of Ezhou. What ability does he have to fight?"

"Yuezhou can also take the opportunity to win. The dense water network just gives full play to the advantages of our navy. Beiren's navy, [-] warships, can't beat our [-]."

"Maybe we can go north to Huaixi through Lishan Pass."

The generals gathered together, chattering and talking enthusiastically.

Yang Xingmi looked at everyone with a smile and was in a happy mood.The victory of Anzhou is the first happiest event. After years of tempering, the Huai army's combat effectiveness is increasing day by day. The second happiest event is the high internal morale.With these three joys, would you rather be happy?
"Go back to the division to rest first." Yang Xingmi said with a smile: "The soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and they are quite homesick. As for the candidates to assassinate..."

Having said that, Yang Xingmi glanced at the hall.

Huainan Jiedushi Shogunate Secretary Gao Xu, a native of Shuzhou, has a benevolent heart and loves the people.

Dai Yougui, a guest of the shogunate, who was born in Luzhou, marched and fought, and gave advice, should be the No. 1 after Yuan Xi.

Li Shenfu, a native of Mingzhou, was a warrior from the north who followed Gao Pian southwards to hunt down Huangchao. He is now the governor of Chuzhou and has made many military exploits.

Li Tao, a native of Zhaozhou, a general of the shogunate government, was a warrior from the north who followed Gao Pian to the south, and fought bravely.

Yuan Zhen, a native of Chenzhou, was a general of the shogunate, commander of the silver guns, and Gao Pian's old department.

Liu Wei, a native of Luzhou, was originally a leader of a large army, but because of his defeat at the hands of his uncle Cong, he was demoted as a dental school.In this expedition, he served in the army before and made a lot of contributions. Yang Xingmi still likes him very much.

Liu Cun, a native of Tangzhou, was a general of the shogunate government. He was brave and tough. He defeated the enemy in every battle and made outstanding achievements.

In addition, there are Qu Zhang, the governor of Huangzhou, and Xu Wen, Cai Renchai, Li Jian, Li Hou, etc. from Haizhou in the Heiyundu system.

Li Tao, Yuan Zhen, Liu Wei, Liu Cun, Xu Wen and others are all close friends who I value more, and they are also the old people of Yuan Cong who followed when they started the family, so they can be trusted.

Yang Xingmi thought for a while, and said, "Take Liu Wei as Anzhou's governor and regiment training envoy, and guard the land of the six counties for me. Don't worry about Du Hong, it's just the dead bones in the tomb. The only ones who need attention are Zhe's father and son."

"Your Majesty has entrusted you with an important task, and I will be grateful in the end." Liu Wei came out and said loudly.

He was a governor, and then lost it.Although Anzhou is dilapidated, it is Zhengzhou after all, and the governor does not insult his identity. How many people want to be there have not yet had the chance.

"The three prefectures of An, Huang, and Qi should watch and help each other, and use them as a place of victory to block the advance of the Xia rebels." Yang Xingmi threw out his strategic concept, which is to use the Dabie Mountains as a screen to block Shen, Guang, and Shou from going south. Road, Anzhou is the westernmost stronghold, and it is difficult to feel at ease if soldiers from Xiangyang and Nanyang do not pull it out, and it is also an important outpost.

As for the Han River and the Yangtze River, Yang Xingmi was not worried at all.

Northerners are good at horses, while southerners are good at boats.He even looked down on Zhu Quanzhong's navy, thinking that the combat power was too weak, let alone Xia Bandit, who was located in the arid northwest and had a weaker navy.

In the future, if you have time to pull out the nails of Hubei and Yuezhou, go up the Han River, and take Xiangyang, the situation will be more stable.Xiangyang is the upstream barrier of Wudi, so it must be taken.

After Yang Xingmi made arrangements for everything in Anzhou, he taught class on May [-]th.Tens of thousands of horses and horses flowed down the river, masts and sculls like a forest, heading straight for Guangling.

At the same time, Zhu Yanshou also withdrew.Soldiers Lu, Shu, Chu, and Hao returned to their respective prefectures, and after taking the time to rest, there was still the next stage of combat missions.

And this task has actually already started, the win over Zhang Tingfan, the governor of the Probation Army, the win over Yang Shihou, the general of the Zhongwu Army, and so on.

Chu and Si prefectures are currently also gathering troops, with 8000 people. In addition, they have also recruited many Tutuan villagers. They will go north in a few days to seize Xu and Su prefectures.

There is no doubt that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it depends on whether you dare to do it.

For the Southeast regime, the opportunity to seize Xuzhou is not very common.And Xuzhou's water system extends in all directions, which is actually quite suitable for the boat master to play a role. During the gap period between the end of the Xialiang War, if you don't take it, you may regret it for life.

As for being an enemy of Shao Shude, Yang Xingmi didn't care.Attacking Huaixi and Eyue will not offend others?Supporting Zhu Quanzhong's money and food, and even directly dispatching boat masters to help, is it not an offence?
Want to do great things, but still timid, how decent!

What's more, Yang Xingmi felt that it was not the same now as before.After several years of rectification, the production of Huainan and Xuanshe towns resumed very quickly, the money and grain of the shogunate increased greatly, and the combat effectiveness of each army also improved significantly.

Comparing the current army with the set of people who fought with Sun Ru back then, it is really much stronger, and it can easily defeat myself back then.

Perhaps, it's time to set up a siege net against Shao Shude with Zhu Wei, Zhu Jin, Luo Hongxin, Wang Shifan, Li Keyong and others.The world is in chaos, it's time for a man to use his martial arts, great!
