Xiang Longqiang was kept because he was more obedient. Furthermore, there were fifty thousand foreign cavalry, and they also needed someone to lead them. This is how he survived until now.
Xiang Longqiang is also a smart man. He always keeps his head down when doing things and appears to be very obedient. Just like this time, after feeling everyone's eyes on him, he took the initiative and said: "The last general is willing to lead the troops."
Bypass Anping County and intercept the transportation route."
Someone took the initiative to stand up, and Tang Qingchuan's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction, "Okay, General Xiang did not disappoint me. Even so, I agreed. You go down and make preparations. You can bring 20,000 people with you this time."
The cavalry attacks."
"No." Xiang Longqiang had already been mentally prepared for the fact that he could only take 20,000 cavalry instead of 50,000. This was because Tang Qingchuan was worried that he would take too many cavalry and would have other thoughts.
Xiang Longqiang agreed and exited the tent. When Tang Qingchuan looked at the generals, he said in a deep voice: "Next, we will continue to attack the city and use human lives to consume the thunder of the Chinese army. As long as they don't have any thunder in their hands.
With this, Anping County is in our possession. When we capture the city, I promise that you will not seal the sword for three days, and all the loot will belong to the generals."
As soon as they heard that the sword would not be sealed for three days, the generals couldn't help but show excitement in their eyes. This was a great opportunity to make a fortune in an honest way. They immediately clasped their fists and agreed. Therefore, they were very worried about sending people to die to consume the Chinese army.
There is no such big resistance to Tianlei.
Speaking of which, Lu, Su, and Huizhou are all provinces with large populations. In addition, the south is occupied by foreigners, so there is no shortage of personnel. It's just a matter of killing a few people, and then Daliang City can be recaptured. In Tang Qingchuan's eyes, no matter how you look at it,
is appropriate.
This is the necessary mentality of a king, that is, to achieve the goal by any means, and to have a rock-solid heart when necessary.
After the Zhongwang Army had a plan to deal with it, the night was very quiet. At least they saw a way to deal with the Dahua Army's sky thunder, and they no longer waited passively.
In such an environment, if a flying pigeon soars into the sky in the dark night, naturally no one will pay attention.
In fact, on the outskirts of the Zhongwang Army, even if it is dark, there are still huge birds flying in the sky. Their mission is to pay attention to every move of the Zhongwang Army at all times. This is known to all the Zhongwang Army.
Their existence has long been used to having birds in the sky.
Thanks to Tang Ao's efforts, the Dahua Army now has a team dedicated to training birds, and this reborn golden finger has been used to the extreme.
Anping County.
After a day of great victory, all the soldiers had high morale. After having a full meal, they all returned to camp to rest. However, the commanders of the Second Field Division Wu Hu and the Second Firearms Brigade Chang Jiang Fenghua did not fall asleep.
The two of them were sitting in the city's Yamen playing chess. But if you look carefully, you can still see that they seemed to be waiting for something.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard outside, and then two figures strode in. They were Luo Hua, Chief of Staff of the Second Field Division, and Chen You, Chief of Staff of the Second Firearms Brigade.
As soon as the two people appeared, the two military officers looked over involuntarily. Then after the four people looked at each other, they all saw confidence in each other's eyes, and then the four people looked at each other and laughed. After that, Staff Officer Luo Hua
The commander took the initiative to introduce the situation. "Xiang Longqiang has already spread the news. Tang Qingchuan listened to the advice of General An Zhiwu and decided to send cavalry to cut off our retreat and prevent Tianlei from transporting into the city. Haha, they are quite brave.
Not small."
"Oh, it seems that he has thought clearly about the news about Xiang Longqiang's initiative?" Commander Wu Hu, who had known about the situation in King Zhong's army for a long time, asked excitedly.
"He must have thought it through. He must also know that Tang Qingchuan has no tolerance for others. If he continues to stay there, there will be no good results sooner or later. On the other hand, the generals who have surrendered in our Great China Army, even if they are foreigners, Generals will be trusted and reused, which touched his heart."
"Haha, okay, okay. With this internal response, we will be more confident in this battle. Then we will discuss how to cooperate with General Xiang's actions. This time we will definitely defeat the loyal king's army who takes the initiative to attack us. A heavy blow to let the world know what will happen to those who want to spy on Dahua.
...
Jiaozhou.
As a land in the extreme south of the country, it has never received much attention.
Firstly, this place has not been effectively developed, which makes it inevitably fall behind in many aspects. Secondly, it borders South Vietnam and is a frontier of the war. If the investment is too large, if there is a loss, the loss alone will not be worth the gain.
My grandma didn't care, my uncle didn't love me. After Qiu Suisui showed up here with the South Vietnamese army, the officials here only offered symbolic resistance and then surrendered.
For the sake of local stability, Qiu Suisui did not make it too difficult for the former officials here. They were too poor when they came here, and there was really no money to be made. If they were replaced, not many people would be willing to come here. Be an official.
Secondly, Qiu Suisui also wanted to set an example for others. As long as he surrendered to their South Vietnamese army, his official position would be preserved. In this way, more and more people would enter Daqian and surrender in the future.
In this matter, Qiu Suisui's actions are still very popular. If Tang Ao hadn't made a sudden attack, I am afraid that when the South Vietnamese army appeared, some officials would have surrendered in Kaicheng.
It's a pity that even with Tang Ao here, such a thing would not happen. Especially at this moment, after regaining the land of Western Shu, he has already set his sights on Jiaozhou.
Whether it is cutting off the contact between different ethnic groups or in terms of the army entering South Vietnam in the future, Jiaozhou is a place that cannot be bypassed. Even so, we simply took advantage of the South Vietnamese army to focus on Dianzhou and captured it in one fell swoop. alright.
Now that Tang Ao has chosen to march into Jiaozhou, it is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
We have just occupied the land of Western Shu, isn't it the right time to establish a foothold there and consolidate our strength?
In addition, Emperor Qianying led an army of 500,000 to attack Daliang, and the backyard was unstable. No one would take the initiative to seek trouble for others. But Tang Ao decided to do the opposite. Use He said that the more unexpected others are, the more unexpected results can be achieved.
Even if you want to take things by surprise, you cannot bring too many troops. Otherwise, if you mobilize too many troops, you will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of scouts and intelligence personnel from all sides.
Fortunately, Tang Ao did not dispatch any troops at all, because he already had a suitable candidate, and that was Xu Kun, the former commander-in-chief of Xiangzhou. After Xishu was occupied by the Chinese army, Xu Kun, who could not see the situation clearly, So he led his army back continuously, retreating from Tanzhou, the place where he first conquered, to Yongcheng, and then to Daocheng, a city on the border of Jiaozhou.
Not long after Xu Kun retreated to Daocheng with his 100,000 troops, envoys from all sides arrived one after another. This was a 100,000 well-trained army. No matter which side they were on, they were all It is a manifestation of increasing strength. To achieve the goal, all parties have offered important bargaining chips.
There was no need to talk about getting promoted and getting rich. They were given as many gold and silver treasures as they wanted, as well as beauties and mansions. There was a picture of them that they would be willing to give their hearts to as long as Xu Kun agreed. His appearance.
Since joining the army, Xu Kun has never been taken seriously by others. This makes him inevitably feel complacent and at the same time fully aware of the importance of the next choice.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Kun may have made this choice only once in his life.
Choosing well is indispensable for future prosperity and wealth.
If you choose poorly, you can only be greedy for temporary glory, and your fate will become more treacherous later on.
Xu Kun did not think of these words, but his lieutenant Liu Cao told him. He believed it deeply, and for this reason he has not made a choice. He is also waiting, waiting to see the general trend of the world. develop.
This is like a gambler betting on points. If he wins, he will naturally gain a lot, but if he loses, he will suffer huge losses. But the difference is that this time, he is putting pressure on his future, or even his life, so it is normal to take more time to think about it. thing.
Everyone seemed to understand him. The envoys from Dahua, Emperor Qianying, Emperor Qiande, Japan, and South Vietnam had no intention of urging him, but were waiting for him to make the final decision.
Daocheng.
As a border city, it is quite prosperous, with an endless stream of people coming and going every day.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city here seem to have long been accustomed to such scenes. They don't take it seriously when caravans appear here. As long as these people pay enough taxes, they often don't even do inspections. Because everyone knows, The caravans that can move around here all have their own protection teams, so they are naturally equipped with weapons. This is also human nature.
As the inspection was not strict, the number of caravans naturally increased. When a caravan of twenty mules and carriages appeared in the city just after noon, it naturally did not attract anyone's attention.
Of course, the city gate officer in charge of collecting taxes still took a second look at this team, not for any other reason than because this team was made up of all strong men, and they were all very tough, making it hard to get along with them at first glance. generation.
"After entering the city, you must abide by the regulations in the city. Otherwise, even a hundred thousand soldiers can drown you with just one mouthful of foam." The city gate official said a few words.
"Don't worry, don't worry, we know the rules." The man in charge of communicating with the city gate official smiled, then flicked his sleeves, and a heavy piece of silver fell into the city without anyone noticing. In the hands of the gatekeeper.
After weighing the silver pieces, the city gate officer was very satisfied and his face looked much better. "Okay, you are a good citizen, let's enter the city. Come on, let me go."
Amid the shouts, the caravan entered the city easily, stopped in front of a large inn in the city, and settled down. This chapter has been completed!
