Datang New Order

In the conversation with Tang Daoxi, the envoy upholds righteousness and tries hard to persuade the other party to change his mind, but the result is not optimistic.

Brother's revenge?This doesn't seem to be the fault of King Yan, right?Speaking of which, we were the ones who were unethical at the beginning and sent troops to follow Liang Jun to fight people. Now that we are dead in battle, and we say we want revenge, it doesn't make sense.You see, our king of Shu is more magnanimous. General Wang Zongji and [-] Xichuan children died in the Shangdang, so we didn't seek revenge.When is it time to repay the grievances? Everyone is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that the world is about to be peaceful, we should consider the common people when we do things.

Usurping and deceiving the emperor?I'm afraid I can't say that, right?King Yan is the successor of King Xiang, and is one of the clan of Li Tang. To say the least, this is a family affair. In the past 100 years, the position of emperor has been changed, and the throne has been passed on between uncles, nephews and brothers. For the first time, this is normal!In a big way, the king of Yan has extraordinary moral character, and with him sitting on the dragon chair, the Tang Dynasty will prosper.

These remarks really made the messenger very speechless.

Of course, Tang Daozai didn't just talk to King Yan. He also said that if the Chu army could stop their troops, he would be happy to join forces with Zhao Kuangning to organize defenses on the front lines of Junzhou and Dengzhou in case of accidents.And this is also the only harvest of the envoy of Chu State during his trip to Junzhou.

The envoy returned to Dengzhou very quickly. Zhao Kuangning was surprised by the result. He couldn't believe it and asked the envoy, isn't the king of Shu afraid that the king of Yan will become big from now on?Don't Tang Daoxi know that if King Yan breaks the contract and sends troops south in the future, it will be too late?

The envoy replied helplessly: "He believes that he has the danger of two rivers, so he does not worry about the soldiers."

Regarding this, Zhao Kuangning could only be dumbfounded.

But in any case, Zhao Kuangning reached a tacit agreement with Tang Daozai. After he used his troops in the direction of Dengzhou to deal with the Yan army (at this time, the Yan army no longer used this army number, but Zhao Kuangning definitely did not want to admit that the opposite side When the army represents the imperial court), the Shu army cannot take advantage of the fire to rob and stab itself in the back.

Zhao Kuangning is a very stubborn person.Of course, he is also a person who "does not fear power". When Liang Wang Zhu Quanzhong had the most prestigious reputation, he dared to fight against him. Although he did not have the company of the Shu army, he still decided to crusade against "Yan Ni".But he is not a fool, and it is of course best to find allies.

Wu Wang Yang Xingmi is fighting against Yan Ni, and he is Zhao Kuangning's natural ally. Of course he will send someone to contact him.In addition to Yang Xingmi, Liu Shenzhi, the king of Fujian in Jiangnan West Road, and Liu Yin, the king of Han in Lingnan Road, were all among Zhao Kuangning's contacts.It's just that these two families are in the south, and if they are asked to send troops, it will be long and difficult, and secondly, they will not be at ease when they pass through their own territory, so they just want to beat the autumn wind and let them help with some food and fodder.

On the sixth day of August, Zhao Kuangning got good news. Although King Shenzhi of Fujian and Liu Yin of Han Dynasty did not agree to send troops to the north, they agreed to Zhao Kuangning's request.A batch of food, armor and weapons were provided, which was quite a lot, enough to cover an army of [-] for three months.But these things are not free, Wang Shenzhi and Liu Yin each put forward harsh conditions.Request to carve up the six states in the north of Lingnan Road under the control of Zhao Kuangning.

For this request, Zhao Kuangning gritted her teeth and agreed.He is determined to fight the whole country, and he has accomplished all his achievements in one battle. What is the mere land of six states?As long as this battle can be won.Are you afraid that the Central Plains does not have the land of six states to compensate yourself?

Now that he has decided to send troops, Zhao Kuangning needs to seriously consider the strategy of using troops. He took out the Yuanhe version of the map of the Tang Dynasty again.Begin to scrutinize your opponents to the north.Looking at it with such a sinking heart, I suddenly felt my scalp go numb.

From west to east, Longyou Dao, Guannei Dao, Gyeonggi Dao, Duji Dao, Hadong Dao, Henan Dao, and Hebei Dao are all within Yanni's control area. In addition to the fertile fields outside the Guan, the whole of Northern China is under Li Chengzhong. Between the control!This is an opponent much stronger than that of Liang Bandit in its heyday. How will he fight against such an opponent?At this moment, Zhao Kuangning has quite a kind of surging passion from the heart. With his own strength, he alone resists the huge adversity. Although the situation is dangerous, I go alone!To overthrow the general trend of the world with one's own power and revive the great Tang Dynasty, even if it fails in the end, it is still a hero!

A certain Zhao family will surely leave a name through the ages!

After the passion passed, Zhao Kuangning thought hard about the strategy of defeating the enemy, and finally made up her mind again—still going north from Dengzhou, heading straight to Luoyang!Although Yan Ni seems to be strong, but in fact there are many constraints. As long as the Eastern Capital is taken down, it will surely shake the world. At that time, whether it is Qi Wang Li Maozhen or Qi Wang Wang Shifan, they will definitely respond to him, Longyou, Guannei, Zhiqing will rekindle the flames of war, and even the earliest Hedong generals who belonged to Yanni will surely regain their strength. By then, Yanni will be burnt out, and he will not be able to look at each other from head to toe!

After Zhao Kuangning's plan was decided, he immediately issued a military order to recruit soldiers and military supplies from the states under his control.However, the implementation of the military order was not smooth, and there was no other reason. The previous attack on the Jing army was too expensive, and the states and counties were almost out of food.In addition to the food problem, all states and counties are complaining, saying that the autumn harvest is coming soon, the recruitment of young men is delayed, and it is the best policy to recruit soldiers after the autumn harvest.

So Zhao Kuangning had to suppress her impatience and wait for the autumn harvest.It wasn't until the end of September that the autumn harvest in the counties and prefectures was considered complete, the warehouses were restocked with grain, and the newly recruited young adults began to be sent to Dengzhou one after another.

However, after such a wait, something went wrong.The previous reports have shown that since ten months, the Yan army seems to have sensed that the situation is not good, and is mobilizing troops and horses to Nanyang to prepare for unexpected events.Nanyang is located in the south of Funiu Mountain and north of Hanshui River. It is stuck on Zhao Kuangning's road to Luoyang in the north. It is an important town that the Chu army must capture.

Dengzhou is more than [-] miles away from Nanyang, and there is a smooth road between the two places. If you travel along the official road, it only takes less than three days for the army to carry the luggage.It's a pity that in the summer, it took too long for the Chu army to capture Dengzhou, so that Zhao Kuangning did not have time to attack Nanyang. When the Chu army besieged Dengzhou, the Yan army had already appeared at the head of Nanyang city.

According to the report of the past month, until October 3000th, Nanyang City received reinforcements from the Yan Army Brigade three times in a row.The first time there were about a thousand people, and the second time after seven days, about [-] to [-] Yan troops entered the city. On October [-], the third batch of Yan troops also entered the city with about [-] to [-] people. Therefore, Zhao Kuangning estimated that there were about [-] to [-] Yan troops in Nanyang City.

From the end of October, the Yan army began to build camps on the bank of the Baihe River six or seven miles southeast of Nanyang City.This camp was built among more than a dozen small and undulating hills. According to the regulations of the camp, it can accommodate thousands of people.

Nanyang City and the military stronghold on the edge of the Baihe River are like horns—this is the best strategy for defending the city. Zhao Kuangning can fully understand it. The key is how many Yan troops are there in the military stronghold?After three days of work, Zhao Kuangning still didn't get a definite return, but there was an important piece of information fed back to the desk: Baihe Military Village and Nanyang City were labeled with the same designation - "Mozhou Army".

The Mozhou Army is one of Yan Ni's nine armies, with a number of about 1 people. This is already known all over the world. From this point of view, the Mozhou Army should be stationed in Nanyang. Half of the Nanyang City, Half of the Baihe Military Village is occupied.Except for the Mozhou Army, the detectives did not see any trace of Yan Ni's other Eighth Army.In this regard, Zhao Kuangning made a bold guess on the map of the Tang Dynasty.

The army of Yan is fighting against the army of Wu between Huai and Si, and the army of Wu is very strong. I heard that the general of the Yan army who is in charge of the battle there is Zhong Shao - this person is the commander of the decisive battle of the Shangdang and the number one fighter under Yan Ni. Will.Given Zhong Shao's position in the Yan army, since it was a "national war", he should at least command two or three armies to press down on the Huaisi line, otherwise he would not have enough troops.

Hedong and Fengxiang are both newly attached lands. In any case, Yanni will station troops to guard them. I heard that Yanni has built a camp in Shangdang and Shanzhou respectively. I think it is to frighten Hedong and Fengxiang. In this way, at least Went to two more armies.

It is known that the Youzhou army is guarding Luoyang, so Yan Ni's old nest, Youzhou, must also need at least one army to garrison, so two more armies have gone.

After much calculation, the Mozhou Army in Nanyang seems to be the only army that Yan Ni can send out. Of course, some newly attached troops may be added, such as the Hedong Army, Fengxiang Army, Xuanwu Army, etc., but these troops Yanni It is absolutely impossible to call inverse alone, the best way is to break up as a supplement for each army.Zhao Kuangning has been inquiring about Li Chengzhong's temperament, he knows that this person is most jealous of the emergence of military leaders, whether it will make these surrendered troops become popular again.

It is even very possible that these troops are still around Luoyang, under Yan Ni's nose - if you change yourself, you will not be at ease with them.

From this point of view, the northward march to Luoyang should be divided into two battles. Nanyang is the first battle. After defeating the Mozhou Army, after taking Nanyang, there will be another battle under the city of Luoyang. That battle may be the final decisive battle. !

After a month of preparation, Zhao Kuangning transferred all the sergeants that could be recruited from the states under his control to the front line of Dengzhou. There were more than 4 soldiers in total. Of the remaining [-] people in the Ya army under personal command, there are [-] combat soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers.

Relying on these 5 people, it is impossible to defeat Yan Ni head-on, but Zhao Kuangning is very confident in taking Luoyang.Speaking of it, Yanni's rise is too fast, regardless of the large territory it controls, but the operating time is too short. Although its military strength is far greater than its own, it has too many considerations. King Wu's campaign, as long as the battle can be carried out faster, Yan Ni will never be able to spare any troops to compete with him.This is my last chance!

On the eighth day of November, the messenger who went to Jiangdu returned to Dengzhou. He brought a bad news. Wu Jun lost Sizhou. That battle really hurt the root.Wu Wang Yang Xingmi urgently asked Zhao Kuangning to send troops to the north immediately, and it is best to go straight to the eastern capital as soon as possible to cope with the ongoing battle in Huainan.

Zhao Kuangning asked the messenger about the details of the Battle of Sizhou in detail. The messenger was not clear about the battle process, but he conveyed a sentence from King Wu: If the Chu army hesitates again, Wu may not be able to last until next year!

Zhao Kuangning waved the messenger away, then fell into deep thought.

On the tenth day of November, Zhao Kuangning personally led an army of [-] troops from Dengzhou to Nanyang, eighty miles away to the northeast! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
