Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 936 Firmness
"Since you have made your attitude clear, there is nothing more to say." Shao Shude sat in the middle hall and said to the summoned generals.

"Wei Rang, you lead an infantry commander and a cavalry commander to stay in Xiangzhou, and the 2000 people in Chosigang will also be under your command, keeping Anyang and Tangyin in line."

"The final general obeys orders." Wei Rang, the military envoy on the left side of General Tu, responded.

5000 people from the right wing of General Tu stayed in Weizhou and were stationed in various places.A few days ago, there was a rebellion in Gongcheng County, and the deputy envoy Zhebutai sent Zhang Shensi, the envoy to the right wing, to lead [-] cavalry to quell the rebellion.

These more than 1 people cannot move for the time being. It is necessary to ensure that the back road is not lost, and the logistics and transportation lines are continuous, especially the two crucial ferry crossings of Xinxiang and Jixian.

"Order Li Renjun to lead his troops northward and come to Xiangzhou to meet up."

Li Renjun, the deputy envoy of the Tianxiong Army, took more than 1 horses from the right wing to station between Liyang and Wei County.

"Cai Songyang led his troops east to Linhe, and put on an offensive and defensive posture to deter the bandits."

The Tiande army guarding Liyang County and Liyangjin did not move before because Weizhou was not yet stable. This will allow at least 5000 people to move eastward to contain the enemy.

"Give orders to Zhu Zhen, have you seen enough of the theater? The Holy Army is looking for an opportunity to cross the river from Puzhou, and at the same time contact Li Gongquan, don't be foolish and fight alone."

Zhu Zhen's fighting power in the Holy Army is mediocre, even if the entire army of 1 people is wiped out, she won't feel bad.

The so-called Liang army that beat Hebei and Hedong has long since ceased to exist. Hu Zhen, Ge Congzhou, Zhu Zhen, and Liu Zhijun's Longxiang, Longhu, Pengri, and Pengsheng armies have nothing to do with Zhu Quanzhong's 20 Liang army , were all newly built later, and their combat effectiveness is not good.

The real remnant of Liang Jun is Ding Hui's group of people. Although this group of people can be called a veteran force, they are not on the same level as the main forces such as left and right long straight and left and right long swords.

In addition, there are still thousands of yamen troops in Yunzhou, and [-] captives in Luoyang. These are also the "residues" left by Liang Jun. The real meat has been eaten by the five forbidden troops that have been reorganized.

"Return to the German Army's Fu Cun Examination Department to strengthen drills and serve as the general reserve team."

The German army stationed in Bianzhou is the only reliable army in the empty Xuanwu states, and it cannot move for the time being.

"Adjust the iron cavalry...forget it, the Dingnan army will not work, the iron cavalry will continue to stay in the Yan and Qi battlefields, and cooperate with the extermination of the bandit cavalry."

Qingzhou still has a brigade of cavalry.Fighting against the Dingnan Army these days, the mutual losses are huge.

The Iron Cavalry Army fought against Tuoba Renfu and Li Renyu, and they are also the main enemies at present.

Wang Shifan has not yet made up his mind to surrender.At this time, it is necessary to teach him a few lessons and wipe out some of his main forces, so it is not suitable to deploy troops.Besides, Shao Shude just ordered the heavily damaged National Defense Army to return to the river to rest and recuperate, let alone weaken the troops in this direction.

"That's enough!" Shao Shude waved his big hand and said, "Nearly [-] paces, it's a face for Li Kening and An Jin, forgive him for not daring to go south. The first task of going north is to wipe out the Yecheng Town General Yang Baoyu."

Give an order, and the army starts.On August 28, Shao Shude personally led the left wing of General Tu and more than [-] Xiaojie troops to the north.

******
A light rain fell in the sky.

On the soft mud, the boundless army is passing.

Shao Shude stood on the bank of the river, looking at the crimson water, expressionless.

After a person dies, the body falls into the river and does not immediately float up.But the smell of blood couldn't be concealed, even though it had been diluted by the river water.

The army quickly passed the grass bridge, meandering north, heading straight for Yecheng.

This key bridge was once occupied by the Wei army, with only a hundred guards, and was later driven to death by the Xiaojie army.

The Xiaojie army sent 500 people to guard the bridge, but was defeated by Yang Baoyu who assembled a large army.He sent 2000 people to guard the bridge, but he was attacked and destroyed by the sudden generals who rushed over just now, and more than half of them were beheaded.

Army envoy Kang Yanxiao personally led two infantry commanded in pursuit, trying to capture Ye, Linzhang and other counties, and push the line of defense to the border of Cizhou.

Masters from Heyang pulled carts and quickly followed the troops.

"The new Yinchuan horse is not interesting, continue to breed." Shao Shude sat down and took time to deal with government affairs.

"The height at the shoulders is okay, the speed is okay, and the stamina can be improved a little bit. I know that there is limited room for stamina improvement, but why are some horses tall and handsome, running fast, and their stamina is too impressive? Feed them with refined grains It doesn't matter, war horses are supposed to be expensive. Zhu Jin also feeds the horses with wheat stalks, so how can the horses be fine?"

"Actually, at this point, the war horse is no longer bad. What worries me the most now is the lack of a suitable harness. It's not enough if the strength is too weak. Keep on stepping up."

"After the spring of next year, find a place in Johor to try planting rye. At least a few hectares of land will be planted to see the effect. Shenzhou will also try planting, and Zhang Quanyi will take care of it."

"Will planting turnips in winter consume too much land? After so many years, it's time to figure it out. If the land consumption is not too severe, it can be promoted on a large scale."

"I've only met one Dong Zhangyang in these years, and I'm not satisfied. If you lack money, you can allocate money, and if you lack people, you can allocate people. The sooner the better."

"Jianghan is hot and humid in summer, and there is miasma... I told you that it is caused by mosquitoes, not miasma. The people in Guanzhong who moved there, the first thing to do is to fill up the puddles in front of and behind their houses. Mosquitoes can fly up to three times." Forty steps, filling it up has a lot of benefits."

Shao Shude handles official duties very quickly.He dictated, Lu Siye commented, and Zhao Guangfeng took it back for processing. After a while, more than [-] copies were completed.

In fact, most of them were not delivered.However, Shao Shude specially asked him to read all the documents related to agriculture, breeding and immigration, and to review each copy.

When he was dealing with government affairs, all the generals stood aside and waited quietly, except for the one who led the attack.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Someone on the post road suddenly shouted.

Shao Shude looked around in the blink of an eye, only to see that the left arm of the shouter was broken at the elbow, and his right hand was waving non-stop. He suddenly remembered who it was.

"Liu Sanhu?" Shao Shude got up immediately, walked to the side of the post road, and asked in surprise.

"Your Highness still remembers me." Liu Sanhu happily closed his mouth from ear to ear.

"How can I forget the warrior who forced me to reward two beauties in a row?" Shao Shude laughed loudly.

Liu Sanhu also laughed when he heard this.

"You are the head of the township in Xiuwu County, and your left hand is inconvenient, so why did you go to the expedition?" Shao Shude asked.

"It's really not my turn to transfer food and grass." Liu Sanhu said: "But when I heard that His Highness went to Wei Bo, I thought that I might be able to see His Highness when I came here. Sure enough, the hardships along the way were not in vain. "

Shao Shude was a little moved when he heard this.

Liu Sanhu is an old man of the Wuwei Army, and he will be there when he hits Lingzhou Han Lang.All the way to today, I still remember his benefits.

"Old brothers are running out." Shao Shude patted Liu Sanhu on the shoulder, and asked, "How about martial arts?"

"It's all good." Liu Sanhu said: "The old brothers are divided into the township head, the township assistant, the Lizheng, and the post general, and they will keep a close eye on the countryside for His Highness. There have been a lot of people over the years, and the young men are not very good. Now that I know His Highness's divine power, I'll whip it with a stick."

"Why smoke?" Shao Shude asked.

"I told them about His Royal Highness defeating Han Lang and Kang Yuancheng in Lingzhou, and defeating Po Chou and Mi Qin of Hexi Dangxiang. Who doesn't remember, shouldn't they fight?" Liu Sanhu said naturally.

"It's better to be on my own." Shao Shude said with emotion: "The most correct thing I have done in my life is to move the people from Kansai to Heyang and Dongdu towns. With you in the place, I am very sure. These Are they all brave from Heyang Township? Who said that Huazhou people could not fight? After so many years, each of them is very majestic."

He walked into the crowd of teachers without hesitation, looked left and right, and was overjoyed.

Liu Sanhu gestured, and the two young men stepped forward to guard Shao Shude closely.

"Who are they?" Shao Shude turned to look at the two.

A teenage boy, his face is still a little green, but he is relatively majestic, and he should have eaten well since he was a child.

"My Dalang and Erlang are 13 years old and 12 years old. They were too young when His Royal Highness came to practice martial arts last time. This time it's almost the same, let them go out with His Highness." Liu Sanhu said.

"How many children do you have?" Shao Shude asked.

"Four sons and two daughters are all thanks to the King's blessing." Liu Sanhu said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

"My one wife and one concubine are all rewarded by the king, can't I just rely on the blessing of the king?" The veins on Liu Sanhu's forehead were exposed, and his eyes became fierce. If it wasn't for his inconvenient hands and feet, he would probably beat someone to kill someone.

Shao Shude remembered that Liu Sanhu's wife should be the dancing girl that Kang Yuancheng took to the camp, and that concubine was the daughter of the county magistrate of Heqing.

"What's your name? How's your martial arts?" Shao Shude looked at the two teenagers and asked.

"Liu Yijie is good at using flying spears, can shoot at gallops, and can use big swords."

"Liu Jiusi, a spear and stick, is proficient in everything, and can shoot at a gallop."

"What a big tone." Shao Shude said with a smile: "I accept it, and be a personal soldier by my side first, after two years of training."

Everyone looked at the two teenagers with envious eyes, but they were still ignorant.

Liu Sanhu was overjoyed, grabbed the necks of the two sons, and reprimanded: "The loser still wants to thank His Highness?"

"Thank you, Your Highness." The two saluted together.

Shao Shude asked Li Yixian to bring them military uniforms and equipment, and said to Liu Sanhu: "Seeing you today, my will will be stronger. With you in place, Menghuai, Luoru, Zhengzhou, and Wuzhou have dozens of counties, which are even easier than the old places in Kansai. Don't worry. I will expand this pure land step by step and eliminate the thieves one by one. After delivering this food and grass, you can go back and train the country boys for me. The battle is fierce and the loss is great. In the future, soldiers will always be recruited. You guys train Well, my soldiers will be more elite."

Liu Sanhu answered again and again.

"Your Majesty, a scout from the Jin Army has been captured near Ye City. The last general has sent someone to torture him, and he belongs to An Jinquan." Li Yanwei, Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Tu general, saw that the conversation between the two had come to an end, and reported accordingly.

"Where does An Jinquan live now?" Shao Shude asked.

"Li Keyong appointed him as the military envoy of the Fifth Academy, and there are more than ten thousand people. He was born in the Sage tribe in Shatuo, and he is good at cavalry. He has been by Ke Yong's side as a cavalry general before. Ten years later, Jigong was promoted to the military envoy of the Fifth Academy, and he was the governor of Mingzhou, and he had a son named 'An Shenqi', who was still young." Li Yanwei replied.

"The homework was done well." Shao Shude praised: "Send Kang Yanxiao an order to be on guard and not chase too hard. In addition, tell Li Renjun to speed up the march. I will wait for him at Caoqiao."
