Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 880
The cavalry of the Iron Forest Army received the long-lost order to allow them to ride horses.

Because the main infantry is advancing rapidly, the formation is very scattered, and all the equipment and armor are placed on the car. Once attacked, the picture is too beautiful to imagine.

The three thousand cavalry spread out widely to ensure that no enemy could approach.If someone approaches, they are also obliged to counterattack and block it-mainly for enemy cavalry.

When the scouts find the enemy, sometimes even if the military information is sent back, they may not have time to regroup.At this time, every moment is very precious, and cavalry is needed to gain more adjustment time.

Du Youyi made Xu Hao ride on the horse, slightly behind Shao Shude by half a body.

"Wang Yanzhang under Quanzhong's tent is brave and tough, and good at fighting. How dare you?" Shao Shude asked jokingly while he was idle and bored.

Xu Hao is also an old man, and he doesn't need to put on a pose in front of Shao Shude. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "My lord, I don't rush in every formation."

Shao Shude laughed.

Xu Hao is actually quite famous in the Central Plains. At least everyone in the Liang army thinks that this person is Xia Junxiao, an unstoppable brave man.

But Shao Shude knew that Xu Hao charged with his brain.If the enemy's formation is tight and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, he will not force it.On the contrary, he will rush to perform.

This habit of fighting with his brain has also created his high success rate in charging and beheading - if I don't charge, who is prone to failure, the winning rate will naturally be high.

When the history of the later dynasty was compiled, referring to the materials of the previous dynasty, it is estimated that Xu Hao will be written as a fierce general like Zhang Fei. After all, they have never met face to face, so they can only find relevant information in the pile of old papers and make up their own brains.

"You are not as good as Zhu Jin." Shao Shude said bluntly: "I really love his bravery. If you are willing to serve me, why don't you dare to rush?"

Xu Hao didn't mean to be angry at all, and said with a smile: "Zhu Jin's martial arts is indeed better than mine, but on the battlefield, it is not enough to rely on personal bravery, otherwise he will not go away alone. If the king really loves talents, They arrested Zhu Jin and forced him to surrender."

Shao Shude laughed again.

You don't need to look at Zhu Jin's performance in the battle, because it may be bragging.But when he fled to Huainan, Xu Zhixun sent assassins to assassinate him late at night. Zhu Jin, 52, woke up from a dream and had no time to put on his armor. He fought with the assassins with a sword and killed five people one by one.And he didn't seem to be injured, because he still had the strength to dig a hole in the backyard and buried five corpses in it.

Such a talented person, if he is willing to surrender, Shao Shude will not hesitate to reward him generously.

"Your Majesty, there is a military report." A horse galloped towards him.

Shao Shude took it and saw that it was about the Pingyin War.

Feng Zangzhi briefly introduced the situation on the battlefield. In short, the two sides have fought more than ten battles in the past few days, with each winning and losing. Most of them were located in the hilly area from the former site of the Great Wall of Qi to the ancient city of Pingyin.

In the end, please kill Zhao Yan for the seal.

Shao Shude looked at the reason carefully with a solemn expression, the main reason was that Zhao Yan was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was not very lawful in using troops, and failed repeatedly.Although the Zhongwu Army had a lot of new recruits, they couldn't have fought so badly. The blame was entirely on Zhao Yan.

"Zhao Yan can't be killed..." Shao Shude sighed lightly: "Here's an order to dismiss Zhao Yan from Qizhou to recruit the deputy envoy, and Guo Shaobin will take up the post."

The clerks began to write orders.

The National Defense Army now has less than 7000 people.The secret of the seal, the undercurrent in the army was surging, and some people clamored and joined forces, demanding to go home.Now he is completely intimidating everyone by pulling Shao Shude's tiger skin, but there is always a limit to this.

There are still more than 5000 people left in the Zhongwu Army. Even if you count the 4000 Jianrui Army who came to support them, they are still powerless to face the Qi Army and Yun Army that are several times stronger.They are about to give up their outer positions and retreat to Pingyin County. By then, the bandits will be even more rampant and arrogant.

Shao Shude is more concerned about the remaining troops of each army.

I also want to consume these miscellaneous brands, but I am also worried that they will mutiny, which is full of conflicts.But if you don't consume it, you will play more and more miscellaneous cards in the future, and it will be a hidden danger of rebellion.

It seems that there is still a ruthless hand. After this battle, the designations of some miscellaneous troops have to be cancelled.

On the last day of the first lunar month, the army arrived in Yunzhou.

Encountered enemy cavalry harassment along the way, but they were all repelled. The army arrived at the northern line without any danger.

"Your Majesty..." Outside the city of Yunzhou, the elders went three miles out of the city to greet them.

Shao Shude looked at Li Tangbin.

Li Tangbin immediately reported: "The final general didn't make any arrangements, and the elders of Yunzhou went out of the city to meet the king."

"I believe in you." Shao Shude said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, take revenge for us!"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Quanzhong attacked my Yun Town a few years ago, and that would be fine. When he comes again this time, the killing is too heavy, just like Qin Zongquan."

"Liang people are not good people, kill all Liang people."

"Poor my daughter, married to Dong'e, and now she is missing."

The elders talked a lot, describing their grief, and those who saw it were moved.

Although not very kind, Shao Shude subconsciously had a thought in his mind: Now you know what I mean, okay?
I spend so much military expenses a year, and I have to pay pensions and feed the sergeants well, just to have the confidence to restrain military discipline. There is one thing to say, if you don’t pay enough money, you don’t have enough confidence to restrain military discipline. , good military discipline must be maintained by a generous income, otherwise no one will ignore you.

"Everyone, please rise up." Shao Shude said with vain hands, "All loyal to this thief, he has fallen to this place, and he will die. I heard that there are still thousands of Wei soldiers who went south to plunder. A clear universe."

"Your Majesty, take revenge for us!" A crowd of black and white people shouted in the distance.

"Who is that?" Shao Shude asked.

"Some of the people who escaped from Dong'e and Yanggu counties belonged to Shouzhang. Because it was rumored that Zhu Zhen, the envoy of the Holy Army, had surrendered to his allegiance, the people of Shouzhang were afraid of being slaughtered, so some of them ran over." Li Tangbin replied.

"Kill all Liang people and Wei people!"

"My lord, I have practiced martial arts for many years, take me to revenge."

"My lord, I am the military academy of Yunzhen. When the king attacked at night, I ran away in a hurry. Now that I have lost my way, take me with you."

"If you can't protect your family, this life is useless! Your Majesty, I escaped from Zhu Xuan, and now I only want revenge."

"Everyone—" Shao Shude raised his horsewhip, and the soldiers dispersed to silence the noisy crowd.

Shao Shude got off his horse, walked slowly, and said, "Not all Liang people are bad people."

After finishing speaking, he patted the shoulder of a sergeant beside him, and said: "My sudden general, Erlang, fought bravely. After going down to Yunzhou, he never looted the people, never killed anyone. These are all loyal warriors, and I love them deeply."

Damn it, he pretended to be there again - the soldiers of the sudden generals nearby were a little ashamed, but now they heard it, and everyone admired it.

"Since I am going down to Yunzhou, the people of Yunzhou are all my sons and daughters. If you have hatred, you should comfort me. Now you want to attack Zhu Quanzhong, bloody warriors, you can go with me, dare you?"

"Dare!" At first, the voice was chaotic and sparse, but it became more and more orderly and louder.

"You can apply for sergeants at the state government office," Shao Shude announced.

"Your Majesty, I have called back the two thousand Yun soldiers who went to Puzhou." On the way into the city, Li Tangbin reported.

This guy has a brain!

Shao Shude glanced at him approvingly.After Zhu Quanzhong and the Wei people did such evil things, the soldiers in Yunzhen had no choice but to unite under Shao Sheng's banner and attack Zhu Quanzhong and the Wei people together.

"Take me to see the surrendered soldiers." Shao Shude ordered.

The two thousand soldiers who surrendered in Yunzhen all surrendered in Lu County, and they will live in a military camp, making a lot of noise.

"Line up and roll call." An officer of the Yanei Army broke into the barracks and ordered.

The 2000 people were not too slow, and they assembled empty-handed in a while.The civil servants roll their names according to the book, and there are many of them.

Under the escort of the soldiers of the sudden general, Shao Shude went straight to the surrendering soldiers.

"Do you know about Dong'a and Yanggu?" He asked.

There was a lot of anger on the faces of the people, and it was obvious that many of them had relatives or friends in the local area.

Shao Shu held up one of his hands and said, "Look at the calluses on your hands. You have been bowing and archery for seven or eight years, right? You can't even protect your family well, so it doesn't matter if you don't practice your bow."

He walked in front of another person, punched him on the chest, and scolded: "Such a burly body, what's the use when the country is in ruins?"

"The common people work hard to feed you under the scorching sun, but you can't protect his family."

"Boasting all day long, being extremely brave, when you really need to use you, all of them are useless."

"Drinking alcohol and eating meat on New Year's Eve is the fat of the people. The people are willing to pay taxes to let you keep him safe. What the hell are you doing?"

"If there is no son under my command who is in Yunzhou, Yunzhou will also be slaughtered. Are you still fucking against me? Who protected you and other family members?"

"Are you fucking against me?"

Shao Shude walked over one by one, beat and scolded without mercy.

Yunzhen Jiangbing was ashamed and dared not meet his gaze.

Some people cried directly, knelt on the ground, and said, "Please King Xia take me to take revenge!"

As he said this, more people knelt down.

"Revenge?" Shao Shude said with a sneer, "I have generals and warriors, so I won't bother you. You were very aggressive when you turned against me, but when you really wanted to deal with Wei soldiers, you were cowardly. What use are you? It’s better to let others take revenge for you.”

As soon as this remark came out, Yun Bing was even more ashamed, shouting loudly, almost everyone knelt down, and insisted: "Please ask King Xia to take me to take revenge."

"To beat Zhu Quanzhong and the Wei people, we must desperately..." Shao Shude said.

"I am willing to fight to the death."

"When fighting, but frown, don't bother King Xia to do it, willing to kill himself."

"I wish I could fight desperately with the thief at this time."

Everyone said.

"My army is very strict, I'm afraid you can't take it..." Shao Shude said again.

"I wish to obey orders."

"Whoever writes strange words, I will pay for it myself."

"This life is sold to His Highness."

"After joining the army, I have to leave Yunzhou." Shao Shude continued.

"What Your Highness said, we shall all obey."

"Okay, a man keeps his promise, and anyone who backs out will be disgusted by dogs." Shao Shude said loudly, "I have always loved warriors. Warriors who dare to fight the Wei people don't need to kneel."

Crash, a group of people stood up.

"Incorporate all of them into General Tu." Shao Shude ordered.
