Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 903 Arrangement and Consolidation

On the sixth day of April, there was a lot of light rain, and tens of thousands of troops arrived in Qizhou.

Because the battle to annihilate the Jin army was fought too quickly and shortly, a small number of Jin army's routs also fled to the south. The mountains over there were endless, and it was too late to spread the news. be surprised.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the Flying Dragon Army quickly rushed to Zizhou and set off between Zhangqiu and Changshan.

Wang Shiyue, the head coach of Qi Jun North Road, was shocked and directly led his army back to Qingzhou via Putai.

As soon as Wang Shiyue retreated, the coach of the South Road, Liu Wei, was also caught blind. He immediately strengthened the defense on the front line of Changshan, trying to threaten Xia Jun from the flanks, preventing them from driving straight into Qingzhou.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Qi Shuai Wang Shifan ordered Liu Wei to serve as the defense envoy of Zizhou to take charge of the defense of Zizhou and Dizhou. There were more than [-] soldiers and horses under his tent, including [-] cavalry that Li Ren wanted to send.

Also on the same day, Wang Shifan awarded the [-] soldiers who were training in Laizhou the bugles: "Unity" and "Pinghai".

The United Army and the Ping Navy each have 2000 people, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.There are a total of [-] people, and only about [-] are veterans. Recently, there are more than [-] people who joined Zhu Quanzhong, and there are only more than [-] veterans.

The recruits only started to be recruited in February, and they have only been trained for only two months, and they are also in a hurry to go to the doctor.

After all, Wang Shifan has brains, he did not hand over the Yamen Army, Outer Town Army, and State Army in Qi Town to Zhu Quanzhong, but asked him to help train recruits. I don't know how Lao Zhu felt at this time.

But one thing to say, this is Lao Zhu's opportunity.It is easier to train recruits than to recruit and buy veterans, but I don't know if he can handle the old people in Siqian Town who are the backbone.

In addition, Shao Shude hated this kind of thing of dying and violent soldiers. It was completely causing trouble for himself. In the future, he would have to deal with Wang Shifan severely.

On the eighth day of April, Wang Shifan invited all the generals in the town to a banquet to publicize Huainan, Xuanshe Jiedushi, and Wu Wang Yang Xingmi to send troops to the north to help boost morale.

"Wang Shifan really lost his head. Who is Zhu Quanzhong? This is called wolf-inducing. The last one who lured wolves into the house, uh... that's all, let's not talk about it." Shao Shude was a little embarrassed and couldn't continue.

In recent years, the relatively famous case of luring wolves into the house is obviously the brothers of the Wang family in Hezhong.
Chen Cheng didn't seem to hear, he was still thinking about the battle situation.

"The 3000 people in Wanqiangdu should be relatively capable of fighting. They are now besieged in Zhangqiu. Send people to persuade them to surrender." Shao Shude asked people to spread out the map and watched it carefully.

Wan Qiang was brought over by Liu Po, and occupied Zhangqiu County in Qizhou as a base for attacking Licheng.

In fact, there was no fight at all, it was peacefully occupied.Linji County in the north is similar. When the Qi army came, they sent people to send a lot of food and grass, and they asked for surrender. Now when the Xia army came, they sent people to send [-] pigs and sheep, which was completely useless.

Kang Yanxiao resolutely defended Qizhou.He is relatively conservative in his overall use of troops, and the places where he garrisons are mainly in the field where there are advantageous terrain and good for defense. As for whether the city is well protected, he doesn't care.Everything is based on military affairs, regardless of political factors such as land gains and losses.

The Flying Dragon Army cut through the enemy's rear, and after Wang Shiyue retreated, Kang Yanxiao immediately mobilized his army to besiege Zhangqiu County.When the Tielin Army and Yicong Army units arrived one after another, Wan Qiang was surrounded, with three thousand warriors and two thousand Tutuan peasants, none of them could escape.

The Tianxing Army's Shaolun Division went northward to attack Zouping County, Zizhou, and it went smoothly.

Commander Wang Jiao of the Qizhou State Army led [-] soldiers to the north, brought a large amount of grain and grass supplies to Dizhou Lianci County, and then camped near the Yellow River in the south of the city, forming an angle with Dizhou.

The news from the north was mixed.

The Jin army plundered all the counties in Dizhou, and the people were terrified and fled one after another. Many went to Cangjing Town, but few crossed the south of the river.

Shao Shude has no plans to go north for the time being.Over there, the focus is on maintenance, and if they can't hold on, they will withdraw. Now the main energy is to attack the three towns of Yan, Qi, and Xu, and take all of Henan Road.However, whether Li Ke needs to leave or not, a large number of troops still need to be reserved here just in case, which is always a troublesome matter.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the south that Yang Xingmi sent a general to ride north with [-] paces. He has reached Haizhou and is heading for Mizhou." Chen Cheng pointed to a place on the map and said: "Mizhou Port is wide and deep, and there are often south People come by boat, and it is convenient to transport supplies, so we must be careful."

"7000 people, what's the benefit?" Shao Shude laughed dumbfounded.

However, he did not despise others on purpose, and he still had to take precautions.

Everyone will make progress. 20 years ago, Xia Jun's combat effectiveness was not as strong as it is now. 20 years ago, Zhu Quanzhong had to rely on Li Ke to help fight against Huang Chao.

You are allowed to make progress, and others are not allowed to make progress. Could it be that you are the protagonist?
Yang Xingmi's soldiers were really not good, but after he defeated Sun Ru, he recruited a large number of soldiers and horses. These people were the old base that Gao Pian took to hunt down Huang Chao.At that time, there were [-] soldiers and horses under his command, or "[-] native soldiers", among which the "customer soldiers" mainly came from Henan and Hebei, and his official position was "the commander of all soldiers and horses".

These people lost a lot in the internal strife after Gao Pian's death. After Sun Ru came and joined forces, they were collectively called "Cai Thief", and most of them fell into the hands of Yang Xingmi.In the past few years, he has been making great efforts to win over, rectify, and replace him with his confidant general, slowly digesting, why do you underestimate him?

Yang Xingmi's [-] soldiers defeated the Liang army in Shandong in a row in history, beheaded Liu Kangyi and Zhu Youning, and captured Mizhou.The combat effectiveness may not be as good as Xia Jun, Jin Jun, and Liang Jun, but they can't be treated like chickens and dogs.On the battlefield, the one with the strongest fighting power will definitely win?This is true in the game, but not in reality.

"Yang Xingmi is very annoying." Shao Shude stood up, thinking whether it was time to let Feng Yin move.

The Huai army and the Xia army fought on almost the entire front of the Huai River, and the stalls were very large.

First, Qu Zhang marched westward from the Anzhou area and plundered Suizhou and Yingzhou. Zhe Zongben led the Weisheng Army to the south with more than [-] people, defeated Qu Zhang in a field battle, entered Anzhou, and then fought in An, Huang, and Qi. The Huai people won less and lost more, so they were suppressed along the way.

In the area of ​​Shouzhou and Luzhou, more than [-] Huaining troops fought against Zhu Yanshou. At the beginning, each other won and lost, and gradually gained the upper hand.However, the Huai people went up the Huai River and occupied Xiacai County in Yingzhou, threatening Shouzhou from the north.

Afterwards, the Huai people's boat division continued to sweep along Huaizhou counties, plundering the countryside, and the empty Ying and Bo states were completely exposed to the enemy's soldiers.It wasn't until Dengzhou Inspector Zhe Conggu led his cavalry to smash the Huai people who had landed ashore and beheaded more than a thousand ranks that their arrogance was slightly curbed.

Last month, Zhezong's [-] Wesa army recruited the Yingzhou Tutuan, recovered Xiacai, and relieved the flank threat of Shouzhou.

At present, the Huai people are building the two cities of Xihe and Donghe in Suzhou on the north bank of the Huai River, and sending troops from Huainan and Xuanshe prefectures to guard and train in turn. Great energy of the Second Army.Especially after the cavalry of the Dingnan Army were transferred away, Feng Yin had more than 1 people under his command, which was a bit small.

"Send a message to Qingshu Palace to let the son come over." Shao Shude said suddenly.

Erlang Shao Chengjie is 14 years old this year.After the Luoyang camp was disbanded, he was dragged back by his mother to study and practice martial arts, so it was time to come out and move around.

Shao Shude intends to let his son join the camp in Shouzhou, continue to work in logistics, money and food, and accumulate experience.

Last year and this year, I became familiar with logistics affairs, so next year and the year after that I can learn how to be a leader and make decisions by myself in the year after.

"Si Wu also called over." Shao Shude added: "Let him go to Xu Sihao to recruit envoy Feng Yin to be a member of the army."

"Forget it, Saburo and Shiro are called to come over and work with me." Shao Shude said.

Since the Eastern Expedition, his mentality has undergone some changes, and the hidden worries in his heart have gradually emerged.It just so happens that Sanlang Mienren is 11 years old this year, and his fourth son Guancheng is also [-] years old. If he is tired, he will be a little bit tired and teach a few more sons.

Having more children and nurturing more children, he dismissed this matter 20 years ago as a way to bring disaster, but now he is 40 years old, and his mentality has changed again.

The life of a person is really interesting. You at the age of 20 and you at the age of 40 are completely two people.

"Of order." Chen Cheng replied.

"Wait." Shao Shu pulled Chen Cheng, and said, "Let Zhiyan, Zhixing, and Zhiwei protect the prince to go south."

Shao Zhiyan is the sweeping assassin, the son of King Xi Quzhu.

Shao Zhixing was the most outstanding grandson of Tuoba Jin who was sent to Tanshan. His real name was Tuoba Li, and he was given the name Shao Zhixing.

Shao Zhiwei is a native of Shazhou, born in the Suo family. He was the most outstanding among the hundred warriors sent by the Guiyi Army, so he was named Shao Zhiwei.

There are about [-] warriors under the three men, from the Xi, Shiwei, Dangxiang, and Sogdian tribes, and some from Shazhou Suo, Yin, and Li families. Sent to Shizi Chengjie as his pro-army.

The old father knew his son's nature well, and he was afraid that he would charge and kill him, so he equipped him with some strong bodyguards.

Shao Shude still knows a thing or two about Yue Zhang Zhe Zongben's temper.No matter how precious his grandson is, when his grandson wants to go to battle, he will only encourage and praise him, not stop him.This kind of frontier wealthy family believes that life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and they value bravery very much. It is unlikely to expect him to stop the son.

"I don't plan to increase troops on the southern front, just stabilize the situation for me," Shao Shude said.

"Your Majesty, since Ke Yong is in Dizhou, maybe you can transfer the Youguo Army back. You can also transfer some troops to the side of the river." Chen Cheng suggested.

"The Youguo army should return to Bianzhou first, and the Dingyuan army will also come over." Shao Shude said after thinking for a while.

If the Youguo army returns to the southern line again, Ding Hui will turn back and run the whole time.When you arrive in Bianzhou, if the situation is not right, you can go south along the Bian River to support, and the speed will be faster.

Wang Yu, the envoy of the Dingyuan Army, was lying at home, and the medical officer from the Imperial Medical Office was seeing him and taking care of him.Shao Shude recently received a letter from Wang Yu, which opened with "the past has been a lot of suffering", full of regret.Moved, he still retains the post of Wang Yujun's envoy, but the Dingyuan Army may have to be reorganized.

"Let's do this first." Shao Shude waved his hand, and said, "Let Li Tangbin command the battle in Qi Town, and you don't want to interfere. Follow me to stabilize Yun and Qi local people."

"Of order." Chen Cheng replied.
