Chapter 16: Proceed with caution

On May 18th, Shao Shude set off for Xianzhou.

The war in the Bohai Sea has not yet officially begun, but the war in Jiangxi has come to an end.

The Huai army divided into two groups and attacked Jiangxi.

Starting from Xuanshe all the way, the momentum was overwhelming. Raozhou soldiers were defeated and abandoned the city and fled.

All the way from the Yangtze River to Poyang Lake, we attacked Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou defense commander Zhou Dewei played a trick outside the city: he first used his weak soldiers to attack the Huai army, but was defeated and defeated. The Huai people pursued. Zhou Dewei led his main force of 6,000 men to set up an ambush, and attacked halfway across the river, defeating the Huai people.

Beheaded nearly five thousand levels.

After defeating this group of Huai people, they took advantage of the victory to advance eastward. More than 100,000 troops from all walks of life in Jiangxi also gathered to attack Raozhou.

The Huai people's morale had declined, so they returned to Xuanshe.

Zhou Dewei was also a ruthless man. He fought with Wei Quanxi and others on the spot, severely defeated the friendly forces, and captured Raozhou first.

At this point in the war, it would be wrong to say that it is completely over. Because Wei Quanxi, Wei Zichang and others obviously have no intention of giving up, and Zhong Kuangshi has repeatedly asked Zhou Dewei to hand over Raozhou, and greater war risks are still brewing.

among.

Shao Shude spread out the map on the carriage and studied it carefully.

After a long time, an order was issued: Li Siyuan was appointed as the defense envoy of Raozhou and led his troops south to reinforce the Jiangxi battlefield.

The eight thousand people under Zhou Dewei's command were clearly too much to cope with.

However, the two of them are on the same level, and there is no commander. How to cooperate is up to you.

"When I started the army in the early years, I had little capital and couldn't afford to lose much." Shao Shude said, "Now, it's just like that."

In Shao Shude's military career, the only battle he could not lose was the western expedition against the Tuoba clan in Yuzhou. If he lost this battle, even if he could return to Xiazhou, someone might have his head stolen.

Later on, his fault tolerance gradually increased, and the situation became less urgent.

If you really have to fight for your life again and again, and you will be finished if you lose one game, it means that you will definitely lose, it is impossible to win, and it will be useless no matter how hard you try, then you should run away as soon as possible.

After saying that, he took out another military newspaper from the bodhisattva slave's chest. After sniffing it, he laughed and started reading slowly.

Bodhisattva's waist was very thin, but her hips were very big. Sitting in the car, she almost squeezed her two nieces Zhigu and Chonggun into a corner.

Yue Liduo glanced at her sister and saw that her face was slightly red, feeling that she had been completely tamed.

Yesterday, when we checked in, the Bodhisattva slave was with the saint. She even heard words like "Hold it! Don't spit it out!" This shows that the saint's trust in her has reached a new stage.

The dignified Khitan nobleman, the lord of Junzhou City, behaves like this in private. If the chiefs of various tribes find out, I am afraid no one will be able to respect the Yelu clan and the Shulu clan.

In the direction of Bozhou, Yang Duan raised his troops to rebel, guarding the dangerous terrain and confronting Wang's army. At the critical moment, Luo Taiwang led several tribesmen to sneak attack from behind. Yang Duan was so angry that he vomited blood and fled in defeat.

The Shu army and barbarians surrounded Bozhou City and attacked repeatedly. The Yang family's destruction was inevitable.

The rebellion in Shu was basically put down.

Duan Ning personally led the troops and defeated the bandits in the suburbs of Chengdu, capturing and killing more than 10,000 people. He then chased them north and moved very quickly, finishing before Long Xiang's army went south.

Chen Cheng wrote a note in the military newspaper, suggesting that Duan Ning be transferred back and Shao Shude be given permission to do so.

It is indeed not suitable for people who have achieved military exploits and gained prestige to stay in Shu, although the Longjian states in the north have always been guarded by forbidden troops.

This rebellion also sounded the alarm for the imperial court. The Shu region had been in turmoil for many years, and the people were in dire straits. It cost a lot to support the king's army in the conquest in central Guizhou. In addition, the imperial court had been plundering brocades in Shu for three consecutive years.

Transporting relatively light goods such as copper coins and tea to the north to support the Luoyang Forbidden Army was a bit excessive.

Many of the rebels were Shu soldiers. If they weren't really dissatisfied, why would they be so unruly by nature? If this kind of thing continued to happen, the morale of the victorious army fighting in central Guizhou would probably be greatly damaged.

Therefore, Shao Shude ordered Shuzhong to give it another two years to breathe a sigh of relief.

The situation in Shazhou has also stabilized.

King Shao Siwu of Zhao arrived in person, and the governor chased the Uighurs with various troops and fought, winning several small victories. However, the enemy did not suffer much damage. He just saw that the Xia army continued to increase its troops and it was not easy to snatch them, so he took the initiative to retreat.

.

"The Gaochang Uighurs, I will definitely uproot them in the future. How many good things have been ruined for me over the years?" Shao Shude rested his head comfortably on Yulu Jiangu's lap and said, "After pacifying the south, I will embark on the Western Expedition.

.This time, I will go to Gaochang in person to hold the king accountable."

After Yue Liduo became pregnant, she felt a little sleepy and was just a little lost in the lake. After hearing Shao Shude's words, her eyes suddenly opened wide.

Shao Shude chuckled. Yue Liduo didn't look like a woman at all, and had an unusual interest in military affairs and power. But Shao Shude knew that she was indeed a woman, and she tolerated him very comfortably. So much so that before she was diagnosed with pregnancy, her shape had been completely eliminated.

Remodeling completed.

"Your Majesty, for the Western Expedition, just let the generals of the Forbidden Army lead the troops. They have been fighting for decades and are familiar with military affairs. Why do they need to do the hard work themselves?" Aunt Yu Lu Jian gently massaged Shao Shude's head and advised.

"You don't understand." Shao Shude sighed.

Can you tell me about checking in? The Western Regions were trapped in Tibet for more than a hundred years, which may not seem very good to people at this time. But in the eyes of later generations, who would have thought that since the Tang Dynasty lost the Western Regions, it would have been

Wouldn't it be possible to take it back until the Qing Dynasty?

For almost a thousand years, history has played a big joke on the Chinese people.

Furthermore, I haven’t visited Kansai in a few years.

How many of the folks I met back then are still alive?

Are your childhood playmates still there?

How are you doing, Xiu Niang?

Are the orchards on both sides of the Black Canal still so lush?

Can you still see leopards in the old house in Helan Mountain?

Is the summer in Hengshan still so cool?

Is the Yellow River still as majestic and powerful?

There were so many memories, he wanted to see them before he died.

This is my kingdom!

It's not given as a free phone bill. Every inch of land was built with one knife and one shot. You must go and see it.

"Your Majesty..." The Bodhisattva slave was also a little worried.

"Butt slave, I'm very happy that you care about me so much." Shao Shude smiled and said, "No problem, I can still live for five hundred years."

There is a carriage of Khitan women, each with their own style. Their wealth, honor and disgrace are indeed tied to Shao Shude.

But how could they care about these things?

Men, can they still be fettered by playthings?

"Your Majesty..." Chu Shenping's call came from outside the car: "The envoy from Shenzhou is here."

"What's the matter?" Shao Shude changed into a more comfortable position and asked.

"Six ancient mines from the Han Dynasty have been found in Xingliao County, Shenzhou." Chu Shenping replied.

"Send the envoy over." Shao Shude sat up and ordered.

******

On the grassland more than a hundred miles northwest of Lisheng Prefecture, the two armies were fighting endlessly.

Abaoji stood on the hillside and had a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.

The pro-army can fight, and the big and small falcon troops are also very brave. In less than an hour, they rushed and killed the thieves until they were completely defeated.

There was another sound of trumpets at the foot of the mountain.

Yelu Yuzhi took five thousand selected warriors, put them on horses with sufficient strength, and charged forward with indomitable momentum.

Abaoji knew that he was holding a breath in his chest.

His father accidentally died in the battle in Beilou.

His unmarried bride Xiao Chonggun was kidnapped by Shao's thieves and is said to be a dancer now.

His elder brother Huolu lost consecutive battles and was depressed.

He is still a young man and should not have to endure this.

A few days ago, Abaoji heard a nobleman complaining to him that Yuzhi drank alcohol all day long and even beat his bride while drunk.

Abaoji severely reprimanded Yuzhi.

This kind of thing may have been nothing in the past. But it is different now. The Khitan is newly defeated, so it is necessary to deliberately win over the people of Pei and Wugu, and must not stalemate the relationship.

Yelu Yuzhi must have listened to what he said. He turned his grief and anger into strength and led five thousand warriors to charge all the way. Gods would kill gods and Buddhas would kill Buddhas. They were incredibly brave.

The addition of new forces directly sealed the victory.

The Khitans chased them north and killed them, and the Khitans—well, it was also the Khitans who fell off their horses one after another, causing countless casualties.

There were hundreds of people who didn't escape and were surrounded on a small high ground, yelling and swearing.

"Those who kneel down and beg the Great Khan for forgiveness will not die." The falcon soldiers outside the encirclement ran back and forth and shouted in Khitan.

"It's down! It's down!"

"Don't blame me, Khan, I was forced to do it too."

"Dielit has become an official of the Xia Kingdom. If we don't obey, we will die."

"I surrender, please spare me."

The tactic of breaking the morale of the troops was very effective. In just a short while, more than 300 people rushed down the high ground, chanting that they were willing to surrender.

Nirara stood on the high ground, stunned.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed nervously and said: "Abaoji, stop it. You have no chance."

Abaoji listened from a distance and frowned.

"How many people do you have? How many people do Xia have? Lord Xia doesn't pay attention to you at all. He is mobilizing troops to besiege Bohai. Do you dare to go?" Nirara kept laughing and almost burst into tears.

.

"The homeland of Khitan is divided into seven states, each with its own officials. People are still unsettled now, do you dare to go? Let me remind you, the later you go, the smaller the chance. Because your favorite Yue Liduo is helping Lord Xia

It’s so comforting, hahaha!”

"Master Xia eats your cattle and sheep, sleeps with your wives and daughters, and drives your slaves to fight. What do you think?"

"You have no chance, you really have no chance. If you surrender now, you may not - ugh!"

As he spoke, Nirara knelt down on the ground with a long arrow stuck in his mouth.

After struggling for a while, he finally stopped moving.

Yeluyu dismounted his horse and rushed forward with more than a thousand people.

Nirvana's tribe had no fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

Yu Zhi quickly stepped forward, holding a mace, and hit Nirara's head hard.

Once, twice, three times...

He didn't stop for a moment until he was smashed to pieces, breathing heavily.

Nirara, the nephew of Guzhi, died.

"Great Khan..." Haili came to Abaoji and asked, "There aren't many people in Guigu, why don't we rush in, grab them and run away?"

"That's fine." Abaoji nodded and turned his gaze to the towering mountains in the southeast.

Beyond the mountains is the hometown of Khitan.

His land was robbed.

His people are still being enslaved.

Yue Liduo is still suffering.

But Abaoji was rational. He suppressed his surging emotions and added: "Don't confront the Xia people head-on. Grab it if you can, and take it away if you can't. Protect our pastures and tribesmen, and don't let the Xia people find them."

.They are in the light and we are in the dark. If we act carefully, we will not suffer any loss."
