Chapter 11: Aiding Jin (an additional chapter for book friends who were greatly sponsored by Qin Lili)
On the fifth day of August, when the Tiande army was wreaking havoc in the east city and between the military cities, the imperial edict arrived again. Qiu Weidao, as the supervisor of the army, received the edict together with the capital general Hao Zhenwei. The content of the edict was actually very simple, requiring the Tiande army to march eastward.
Entering the territory under the jurisdiction of the Datong Army, they fought alongside Qi Xinzhang and Helianduo's troops to defeat Li Guochang and his son.
Xu Shi accepted the benefits, and the angel was not afraid to say a few more words. He emphatically revealed the current situation in Hedong. Shatuo soldiers and horses had settled all the opposition forces in the former Datong military area and began to gradually invade southward. Just last month,
They invaded Xin and Dai prefectures, burned down Tanglin and Guo counties, and became extremely arrogant.
The first encirclement and suppression organized by the imperial court against the Datong rebels failed because Lu Jianfang, the imperial servant, died suddenly on the road. Now a few months have passed, and a second offensive was quickly organized. Former General Zuo Jinwu, Zhaoyi Army
The Jiedushi envoy Cao Xiang was the Hedong Jiedushi envoy, and he set up camp in the north to recruit envoys, and unified and controlled the soldiers and horses of Zhaoyi, Hedong, Yiwu and other towns gathered in the Jinyang area.
At that time, people in Jinyang were in panic. The former military governor Dou Han was the consort of the Princess of Yan'an. His prestige was seriously lacking and he was not able to control those arrogant and powerful generals. Moreover, he himself was a little panicked, and he actually attacked the civilians outside Jinyang City.
Digging trenches attracted the contempt of all the armies. Not to mention, the troops sent to various places to set up defenses often rebelled and demanded rewards, and Dou Han had no choice. The most serious time was when the horse soldiers he sent to urge the army to dispatch were waiting for Deng Qian to be killed.
, the rebel army entered the city with Deng Qian's body. Dou Han and the supervisors panicked, and finally squeezed out some money and distributed it before they were done.
Rewards were invited for mutiny, and generals were captured and killed. There was no punishment, and there were rewards! All the armies inside and outside Jinyang City suddenly "understood", and they all asked for rewards, otherwise they would cause trouble. Dou Han had no choice but to borrow it from a merchant.
He rewarded all the troops with 50,000 yuan, which was enough to stabilize the situation, but it was clear that no one took him seriously.
Dou Han behaved in a panic, and the court couldn't stand it. If you were in normal times, you would be more useless and become the commander-in-chief of one of the three most famous towns in the world (the other two are Jiannan and Huainan), plate it with gold, and make money.
It's okay to make money. But what time is it now? I definitely can't let you fool around. So the imperial court quickly changed the generals and asked Cao Xiang, the military governor of Zhaoyi Army, to be the military governor of Hedong, unified command of all the ministries, and the crusade against Li Guochang and his son.
Cao Xiang arrived in Jinyang in July, bringing with him thousands of Zhaoyi's elite troops. As soon as he arrived, he arrested the thirteen soldiers who killed Deng Qian and executed them on the execution ground. The Yiwu army was in trouble, and Cao Xiang cut the mess quickly.
, killed one of the ten generals who made the most noise, and quickly stabilized the remaining troops. After seeing how fierce Cao was, soldiers from Hedong, Yicheng, Yiwu, Zhaoyi, Zhongwu, and Heyang towns gathered here
He was also solemn and no one dared to mess around anymore.
Of course, anyone who is familiar with the military knows that Cao Xiang’s method of killing people to establish power can only last for a while. The sources of soldiers and horses under Daibeixing camp are complicated, and there are many arrogant and powerful generals. I don’t know how many people are not convinced by Cao Xiang.
.They are just holding back for the time being, and they will jump out and cause trouble again if they have the opportunity.
Of course, Cao Xiang understood this very well. His idea was to lead his army north as soon as possible to fight Li Guochang and his son. With his large number of soldiers, Cao Xiang felt that he had a slight chance of winning. As long as he won, he would have prestige.
The arrogant and powerful generals can only put away their dirty thoughts and conduct themselves with their tail between their legs.
The plan is indeed good and very feasible. Moreover, in order to improve the winning rate, Marshal Cao also reported to the court and ordered Hao Zhenwei, the commander of the Tiande army, Qi Xinzhang, the Tibetan general, and Helianduo, the governor of Yinshan, to put their troops under his control and send out troops as soon as possible.
, entered Yun and Shuojian, contained Li Ni's troops, and laid the foundation for the main battle in the south.
That's what happened. After listening to the angel's narration, Hao Zhenwei's face turned dark immediately, and Qiu Weidao, the supervisor of the army, was also a little silent. He originally thought it was a military operation like an outing, but it ended up being like this. He continued to delay
It was definitely not going to work. At this time, the imperial court still had some prestige, and at least the vassal towns in Guannei Road were relatively docile. No matter how reluctant Hao Zhenwei was, after receiving the edict in front of everyone, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and head eastward. But
He was in a bad mood. After returning to the military camp, someone bumped into him and he was hanged on the spot and beaten half to death.
On the seventh day of August, after collecting some carts, camels and horses, the armies left Dongcheng in turn and set off toward the southeast. In this direction, there is a thoroughfare that goes straight into Yun and Shuozhou. If they march at full speed, they can arrive in more than ten days and then contain them.
Li rebelled against his army and created opportunities for Marshal Cao of Jinyang.
To be honest, this is not an easy job. The Zhenwu Army and the Datong Army are both fierce and powerful. They have won consecutive battles recently and their morale is high. Even if they only defend Yun Shuo with a partial force, it is not that easy to fight. The most important thing is that this place is far away from the core.
On the battlefield, it is basically impossible to get any credit, on the contrary, people will die. Yun, Shuo Erzhou has probably been wiped out by Li Guochang and his son, and there is no profit or water to be gained. What do you mean by going?
"Grandma, it's so difficult to even raise a boat. These Dongcheng soldiers are so ruthless, they won't leave anything for us." On the bank of the Jin River, Lu Huaizhong looked at a small river in front of him and mumbled to vent.
dissatisfied.
Shao Shude sometimes feels that Lao Lu talks too much. He is noisy all day long and makes his head hurt. The Zhenwu Army is not a fool. If they evacuate early, why don't they leave you many supplies and equipment? They will be able to collect some and hide them.
The small fishing boat has been blessed by God. Let's cross the river slowly. No one dares to cause trouble anyway.
Jinhe is today's Dahei River, a tributary of the Yellow River that flows through Hohhot and flows into the Yellow River near Tuoketuo County. Dongshoujiang City is north of the Yellow River and west of the Jinhe. If you want to go eastward from here, you must first cross the Jinhe. Originally
There are ferries, but the Liucheng Water Transport Envoy Yamen's boat has returned, and the people are under the control of the Shuofang Army. Being able to help transport supplies to the East City is already a great honor, so you can't ask for too much.
"Let's cross slowly, Captain, we'll do it in batches." Shao Shude wore a helmet and armor and held a horizontal sword in his hand. He looked at Qiu Weidao, the supervisor who boarded a small boat surrounded by the generals, and suddenly turned his head towards
Ren Yuji ordered: "You will cross the river first, and strengthen your vigilance after crossing the river. Don't be careless on the battlefield."
"Why don't the leader of the team cross the river first? Qiu Shijun has obviously valued you these days. It would be good to cross the river early and show his face to Qiu Shijun. Look at how frequently the horses are photographed after the gate is opened!" Ren
Yuji came a little closer and said thiefly.
"After all, we are the soldiers of General Sun Shi..." Shao Shude sighed and did not continue.
Thousands of Tiande troops have been crossing the river all day long. This is the virtue of the captain of the boat. If it were not for the temporary cutting of trees to make some rafts, it would probably have been much longer. When Shao Shude had time, he also took out his writing brush to write this piece of raft.
I wrote it down. If you don’t know how senior generals lead troops, you should take the initiative to learn by yourself, extract useful conclusions from the things you encounter in daily military life, and always think about why you are doing this? What are the benefits of doing so?
What's the benefit? What would happen if he didn't do this? Not only himself, he also invited people around him to take the details, including Lu Huaizhong, Ren Yuji, Qian Shouxu, Li Yixian, Li Yanling and his personal soldier Sanlang, although their educational level was not necessarily high.
High, but the experience is rich enough, and I have seen a lot of routines of generals. We discussed it together and combined the various things we encountered, and overall we gained something.
Sometimes a few words solved a problem that had been bothering them for a long time. Shao Shude bowed to everyone and said that the "staff group" was very useful. Everyone didn't take it seriously and laughed and agreed. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and the wisdom of everyone is
He is always better than one person alone. Li Yanling is mature and prudent and good at common affairs, so he can serve as "logistics staff"; Ren Yuji is thoughtful and full of bad ideas, so he can serve as "intelligence staff"; Qian Shousu is very strict in managing troops, and the tasks assigned to him are completed.
He is meticulous and is a qualified "training staff officer". Unfortunately, there are still too few talents. There are no qualified candidates for liaison staff, marching staff, and combat staff, so Shao Shude can only take on the role himself.
A small team of fifty people is so troublesome to manage! Hao Du will lead a team of five thousand people and has not made any major mistakes so far. This level must be much better than his own. We must not underestimate the heroes of the world.
There is nothing special about being a time traveler. At least he led troops and was thrown out for more than a dozen streets. Live until you are old and learn as long as you are old. Remember this.
After crossing the Jinhe River (also called Mangganshui), all you can see is a flat wasteland, with occasional villages dotted here and there. I don’t know if they belong to the Han people, the Dangxiang people, or some other tribe, but there are not many. Overall
It is sparsely populated and very desolate. However, the agricultural conditions here are very good. In ancient times, it was called "good fertile land, suitable for farming and animal husbandry".
It is an important place in northern Xinjiang.
"South of the Manggan River, there is the Baiqu River, which runs roughly parallel to the Manggan River to the west. The two water basins form a basin. It was called Baidaochuan in ancient times because it was located in the south of Baidao. Zhenwu Army City was established, and Baidaochuan was renamed Han
It is also a paradise for children. If the immigrants are settled in the border area and managed properly, it can be an important place for leaving the fortress. Unfortunately, the national affairs are at this point, so there is no need to say more." During the march, he sometimes met Song Le, a branch judge of the Military Supervisory Academy, and Shao Shude also
Instead of chatting, Mr. Song's knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics may not be very good, but he has read enough miscellaneous books, has rich knowledge, and has been to many places. Chatting with him, Shao Shude always felt that he could learn a lot of new things, such as the one he just talked about.
geography.
"From here to the north, there is the Yinshan Mountain Pass, called Baidaokou, or Baidaoling. There are ancient Great Walls extending to the left and right. To the west of Baidaoling, to the east of Zihe, and to the north of Yinshan Mountain, this road is the only one with a square track. And along the way
There is a spring in the earth cave, which is good for horses to drink, so it is an important place for military strategists. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, Baidao Town was established, and several northern expeditions to the grassland were sent from Baidao. In the Sui Dynasty, the main force also came from Baidao when attacking Turks in the north. In this dynasty, Duke Wei
(Li Jing), Ying Gong (Li Ji), and Qingyuan County Duke (Wang Zhongsi) still took this road during the Northern Expedition." Song Le said while wiping the sweat from his forehead. This kind of long-distance march is very important to scholars like them.
For me, it is indeed a kind of torture. Even if I have a car to sit in, I feel uncomfortable all over. Sometimes I even have to walk on the ground.
"What Mr. Sir said has opened Shao's eyes. I will ask for more advice from now on. I hope Sir will not find it annoying." After that, he solemnly bent down and made a bow.
Song Le also had a good impression of this friendly martial arts leader. Unlike other people, he liked to show off his martial prowess, was arrogant, and often humiliated scholars like them who were powerless. On the contrary, he had a strong thirst for knowledge and was humble.
, treats others equally, and makes people feel good as soon as they come into contact. If there is no comparison, there is no harm. Military Academy Shao is simply a breath of fresh air in the martial arts. I really don’t know how he disciplines the arrogant soldiers under his command. It seems that
It's not about being brave and ruthless, nor is it about giving heavy bribes. You can observe more in the future.
In troubled times, such "moderate" warriors are too rare!
