Chapter 245: There is an emergency in southern Yunnan [Lifting the ban]
"Mistress, Chu Qi pays my respects." Xin Jiao and the other four were cleaning up when a man in ordinary clothes suddenly walked into the yard and said.
Xian Lianchen's face was slightly surprised: "Chu Qi, why are you here?" Chu Qi is one of Haotian's personal guards and is responsible for relaying information. However, Haotian did not take him with him on this trip.
By your side, let him stay in Shanyin.
Chu Qi said quickly: "Go back to Mistress, Commander Blood and Commander Du have an urgent military situation and need to inform the Lord."
Xue Qingcheng took the information from one side and asked with a frown, "Have Mr. Luo and the military advisor handled it?"
Chu Qi said respectfully: "This is a routine military briefing. Mr. Luo and the military advisor have already read it. They have given the Solitary Commander and the Blood Commander full decision-making power."
As soon as Xue Qingcheng heard this, he knew that this information could be read by himself and others. The Hetao military had unwritten rules. The five generals and the three major advisers such as Luo Xiang had full decision-making power except for military expansion. And
For this military information, if it is a strategic decision, no one can read it without permission except the relevant personnel involved, and it will be dealt with according to military law. However, for these routine reports, at least a few of them have the right to read it.
"You should go back first. There are a few of us here with the lord, so there is no need to worry about safety. The lord has rested now, and we will submit the report to the lord tomorrow." Xin Jiao walked out of Haotian's room and faced Chu after hearing this.
Seven said.
"Yes." Chu Qi bowed and said. He walked backwards out of the courtyard, then turned around and left.
Xue Qingcheng opened the information casually and said while looking at it: "Chu Qi's martial arts seems to have improved again. If two Chu Qi join forces, I'm afraid none of us can be their opponent."
Qiu Mu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. These are Chu Xiangcheng's subordinates. These people are real talents who have been carefully cultivated by Chu Xiangcheng and Luo Xiang for more than ten years. They are different from those who Luo Xiang secretly trained later. Those people are completely different.
They are dead soldiers with the purpose of killing. And these people are trained talents in various fields, such as Chai Ke, who is currently the magistrate of Taizhou, Li Ping, the magistrate of Muzhou, and Chu Pu, the magistrate of Shazhou, among whom they are on the government side.
Talents. Du Teng and Zhang Shoucheng are intelligence talents. Chu Qi was specially transferred to Haotian because of his active thinking. And there are still many such talents hidden in Hetao.
"What happened over there in southern Yunnan?" Xian Lianchen asked, leaning his little head on the side.
Xue Qingcheng hurriedly browsed the information, then frowned and said: "The Du Commander led an army of 50,000 to attack Luqing City. The news was accidentally leaked midway, and Park Zhicheng returned to Luqing overnight. Du Shuai expected that he did not have the strength to conquer Luqing, and Pu Zhicheng
They also mobilized heavy troops to block the return path of Du Commander's army. Cheye, the leader of the Qiyue Kingdom, had already led 50,000 soldiers together with 50,000 soldiers from Qianyun of the Anyue River to block the Zhuxi area at the junction of Jinhua and Qiyue, thus falling into a trap.
In a dilemma, the troops are currently suspended in the Huangya area on the western edge of the swamp. The 20,000 soldiers led by the Blood Commander forced Lizhou City and killed 23 Shan elders and generals, with nearly 10,000 soldiers. Now the army has
Return to Nanping, Jingzhou, to maintain pressure on the Jinhua Dynasty and the four tribes in southern Yunnan."
Xian Lianchen's face changed: "Isn't it dangerous there for Du Shuai? Doesn't Commander Xue still have fifty thousand troops in his hands? Why doesn't Commander Xue go south immediately and take Du Shuai's fifty thousand soldiers back to Jingzhou?"
Xue Qingcheng shook his head: "The Blood Commander now needs to be stationed in Nanping to deter the four southern Yunnan tribes who have long been disloyal. Pu Zhicheng has mobilized the entire country's forces this time, and Lin Yi, the choke point of Jinhua's march south from Jingzhou, is now under Jinhua's control.
In his hands, the reason why Park Zhicheng's Jinhua soldiers were able to hit Park Zhicheng here last time was largely due to luck. Now that Jinhua has taken precautions, in a hurry, even the Blood Commander can't open the way smoothly, and if
The war has reached a stalemate, so it is difficult to say that the four tribes in southern Yunnan will not add insult to injury. Therefore, the problem now can only be solved by Du Shuai. But don't worry, Lianchen, Du Shuai is the best at mountain warfare among the five generals in Hetao.
A famous general who fights in the jungle, and the commander-in-chief also has 50,000 of the most elite infantrymen in Hetao. Even Pu Zhicheng can't even think of swallowing it in one gulp. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to give it to the lord. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow,
Then the news of Du Shuai’s escape has already been reported.”
Xue Qingcheng said this to a large extent to comfort Xian Lianchen. Pu Zhicheng is known as the number one general in Jinhua, and now he has mobilized the entire country's troops, and also has Qi Yue and An Yue to help, while Dugu only has 50,000 in his hands
Soldier, even if you manage to escape this time, the losses will probably not be low.
Xin Jiao, on the other hand, took the information and read it carefully for a while before walking into his room. He didn't know what he was busy with, but he even forgot to take care of Haotian.
Blood Kill is a bit annoying now. Just three days ago, he led 20,000 soldiers to suddenly pass through the territory of the Jing people and enter the area of the Shan people in Lizhou. Under the leadership of the soul-eating intelligence personnel, the 20,000 soldiers did not find any
The local guide did not take any detours and rushed to the foot of Lizhou City with almost lightning speed. At this time, the messenger soldiers of the Jing clan had just arrived in Lizhou. At this time, there was no trace of bloodshed.
Without hesitation, the 20,000 soldiers took advantage of the fact that the gates of Lizhou City had not yet closed, and went straight in. Although Sha Dan had already deliberately plotted against the Hetao army, he did not expect that Hetao would actually strike first. As a result, although there were people in Lizhou City
There were 20,000 soldiers, but there was no preparation for battle at all. Under the attack of 20,000 Hetao soldiers who had experienced many battles, the city gate of Lizhou East Gate fell at that time.
At this time, Sha Dan, who had recovered his senses, hurriedly gathered the remaining 15,000 soldiers and resisted in Lizhou City. It was only at this moment that Sha Dan truly discovered his tribe's private soldiers and the
The gap between the elites of the Hetao Hundred Battles, even if they relied on the geographical advantage, and even if the mid-to-high-level generals at the elder and captain level personally supervised the formation, they could not resist the offensive momentum of the Hetao army. Not to mention it was a one-on-one battle.
Even if it is one to two to one to three, the Shan soldiers are no match for the elite of the Hetao. In just two hours, Sha Dan's soldiers were left with only a little more than 6,000, and only the west side of the territory was left.
A small area of the city gate. In fact, there were not that many soldiers who died in the battle. Many soldiers saw that something was wrong, so they threw away the weapons in their hands and directly pretended to be ordinary people. Taking advantage of the chaos of the war,
The time had slipped away. Hetao had an order from the beginning not to kill ordinary people. In addition, after these tribal private soldiers lost their weapons, they were no different from ordinary people. Therefore, most of the deserters escaped smoothly.
Lizhou City fell into the hands of the Hetao army bit by bit, and Sha Dan's heart became colder and colder. Eleven of the fifteen elders who oversaw the formation were killed on the spot, and two elders
Of the mid-level and senior officers who were captured, including the captain and the captain, five were confirmed to have died in the battle and seven were missing. Under such circumstances, Sha Dan, who originally planned to hold on to the west gate and wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack, had to
Thinking about his own retreat, when the Iron-Blooded Mountain and River Banner of the Hetao Army appeared in his sight, Sha Dan finally couldn't bear it anymore and led the remaining 5,000 soldiers to abandon the city and flee. Fortunately, he
At that time, Xue Kill did not send troops to chase and kill. Instead, after controlling the surrounding city defenses, he began to send troops to maintain order in the city. Anyone who took advantage of the situation would be killed without mercy. At the beginning, there were still many Shan people fishing in troubled waters.
After thousands of bloody heads were hung in every corner of the city, they finally calmed down and had to accept the short-term military control of the Hetao army.
Xue Sha did not stay in Lizhou for long. After evacuating all the belongings of the city guard, Xue Sha immediately summoned the two captured elders and a captain, Captain Wanfu, and asked them to lead more than two thousand captured people.
A soldier maintained order in the city, while he led the Hetao soldiers and returned to Nanping after collecting the bones of the soldiers who died in the battle. As for the bloody killing, this time it was to teach the Shan and the three southern Yunnan tribes a lesson.
They gave them a reminder to let them understand the gap in strength between the two sides. Of course, it is still necessary to plunder some property. After all, the finances of the Hetao are not strong now. As a senior executive in the Hetao, I should give it some thought. But this plunder is only
It is limited to the tribal wealth of the Shan people. As for the property of ordinary people and wealthy households, Blood Killing has not touched it at all.
After returning to Nanping, Jingzhou the next day, Xue Sha received bad news. Pu Zhicheng rushed back to Luqing City in a hurry, and decisively mobilized heavy troops to block the retreat of Dugu's 50,000-strong army.
The armies of Anyue and Qi Yue were also deployed to the Zhuxi area to prevent Dugu from escaping eastward. Although Xue Sha was determined to go south to open a passage with Dugu, at this time, the Jing Clan and the Dufeng Clan did not know that they had accepted it.
Jinhua had so many advantages, but he actually seemed to have organized an army within the territory. Under such circumstances, even if it was a bloodbath, he would not dare to act rashly. But he was not too worried, after all, Dugu was not a fuel-efficient car.
Deng, who can come back alive from the Battle of Hukou without two brushes? This is especially true for Dugu, an old gangster. But he also wants to know, what is Dugu doing now?
If someone said that Dugu was drinking and looking at the sky, no one would believe it, but it is the fact. Although he was in danger due to the accidental leak of the news, Dugu did not panic at all. The 50,000-strong army was actually
Huangya was firmly stationed in the east of Luqing City, and actually ignored the surrounding troop movements.
"Commander, General Long Zhishan and General Zhou Jilong are here." Song Zhong, the commander of the soldiers, stepped forward and said.
Dugu put down his cup, nodded and said, "Let them come over."
"How did our news leak out? Have you investigated clearly?" Dugu said, still sitting on the chair with his back to the two of them.
"Brother, this should not be our internal reason." Long Zhishan said first: "I discussed it with Lao Long and felt that this should be because we did not clear out the Jinhua people along the way when we were marching, so we asked them to report the result quickly
We got the news, and Pu Zhicheng happened to be in Qiyue at that time. He rushed back at full speed, but we marched a long distance, so naturally we couldn't match his speed."
Hearing this, Dugu turned his back to the two of them and pinched his chin and said, "Well, that's good. As long as there is no problem within us, even if the sky falls, we can hold on."
The two Long Zhishan looked at each other and then said: "But brother, we are now surrounded by more than 200,000 troops from Jinhua Mitsukoshi, and their defense line is constantly shrinking. If we don't
If we react, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through."
Dugu stood up, turned around and said, "What are you afraid of? You see, we have been here for two days and nothing happened. It's true that Park Zhicheng surrounded us, but does he dare to take the initiative to attack?"
Zhou Jilong said anxiously: "Brother, they are not taking the initiative to attack now, but the dry food we carry with us can no longer last long. He clearly wants to starve us to death here."
Before Dugu's army could reach Luqing City, Pu Zhicheng had already rushed back to Luqing. Although there were only 50,000 defenders in the city, they were the most elite guards in Jinhua after all.
The Huoliangjin tribe who had been taught a lesson by Hetao was even stronger. Moreover, with Pu Zhicheng personally defending, even Dugu himself, with the same strength, was not sure that he could capture Luqing in one day. But he could not win in one day.
After taking the Green City, the Jinhua army who had regained consciousness would inevitably surround his 50,000 soldiers. After pondering for a while, Dugu resolutely gave up his original plan, and the 50,000 army turned around.
, avoiding Jinhua’s main force, and came to Jinhua’s Huangya area.
Huangya is located at the junction of the eastern part of Jinhua and Qiyue Anyue. To the east of Huangya is the Drowning Swamp, one of the seven secret places in the Wulin. The Drowning Swamp is said to be worthless, but Jinhua has blocked the Hetao army.
On the roads heading west, north and south, the Qi, Yue, and An Yue allied forces also blocked the Zhuxi area of Qi and Yue, causing the 50,000-strong army in Hetao to fall into a dilemma. Pu Zhicheng obviously also plundered grain and grass from Dugu in Huangya.
Realizing that the Hetao army needed to be resupplied on the spot, they just set up defenses and advanced step by step, hoping to trap the 50,000 Hetao elites with a tight blockade. However, in the face of such a situation, Dugu was actually unhurried and the army
I stayed here for two days and it was as if nothing had happened.
Long Zhishan said fiercely: "Brother, why not do this? While our soldiers still have one day of dry food, the whole army will break out to the west today. With the elite soldiers of our Hetao, I don't believe that the monkeys in Jinhua can stop it."
Our footsteps. As long as we break through their blockade, we will be able to break away from their encirclement."
Dugu asked back: "The Lingnan area has high mountains, dense forests, rugged terrain, and many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. I ask you, what do you want to break out of Jinhua Mitsukoshi's encirclement at the minimum cost without massacring civilians?
