Chapter 11 One hundred thousand bears are like a tide (3)
After leaving Ningshuo County, the army turned southeast and arrived near Kaocheng in three days.
Kaolaocheng was later known as Zhidan County. This place was located in an important location, near the shortcut from Yanzhou to Xiazhou in the north. There had been armies since the middle Tang Dynasty, and they were not vassal armies, but Shence armies - of course at this time
No more, only a thousand soldiers of the Bulgarian Army.
During the Song Dynasty, Kaocheng City was the border between Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty set up a market here to conduct trade with Xixia. It was called Baoanjun at that time.
Marshal Shao still had some ideas about this place and wanted to occupy it, but he was too embarrassed to take action. Because this place not only intercepted the main road to Xiazhou, but also led to the various vassals in Hengshan. If he garrisoned here,
The control over Hengshan Party items will definitely be further strengthened.
It's a pity, I'll talk about it later when I have the chance.
Li Xiaochang, the military envoy of the Baosai Army, came to the city to greet him in person and sent a large amount of food and grass.
"Shao Shuade, someone in Fuzheng County in the southeast has also prepared a batch of food and grass, which should be enough for the army." Li Xiaochang followed Shao Shude step by step and said with a smile.
"The Dingnan Army went south to Qin Wang this time, and Commander Li also contributed a lot. Someone will definitely report it to the Ming Sage," Shao Shude said.
Fuzheng County is more than 100 miles southwest of present-day Yan'an, and is now part of Ganquan County. At this time, it was a county under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, and the city was adjacent to Luoshui. From Fuzheng County to the southeast, it is Ganzhou Ganquan County, Baodajun Dongfangkui
If Li Xiaochang wanted to go from Yanzhou to govern, other than taking the Kaocheng detour, he would have to cross the mountains and ridges and cross the territory of the Dangxiang people.
Therefore, it is unreasonable for the imperial court to divide the four prefectures of Yifang and Danyan into two parts. These four prefectures are originally one body. Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui each occupied one half, which made them uncomfortable.
"Shao Shuai, Dongfang Kui is an ungrateful man. In the past, when he was a general under a certain account, when he went out to conquer Huangchao, he gave the four states to each other. Unexpectedly, he got involved with Tian Lingzi and tried to seize my inheritance. Commander Wei,
He has become a lost dog and has almost no place to live." At this point, Li Xiaochang was furious, as if Dongfang Kui was really a heinous sinner.
"Li Shuai also made great efforts to conquer Huang Chao. I still remember the friendship of fighting side by side." Shao Shude smiled and said: "Dongfang Kui is also the commander-in-chief of the imperial court now. If he is really a member of Tian Lingzi's gang, he should be punished. Li Shuai
Don't worry."
"Dongfang Kui is good at covering up, Shao Shuai must not be fooled by him. If called, I will rectify the troops here and fight with Shao Shuai." Li Xiaochang advised.
"Commander Li, please be patient. If you want to accuse Dongfang Kui, you must get an order from the imperial court." Shao Shude said.
Hearing what Shao Shude said, Li Xiaochang was speechless and a little embarrassed.
"The national situation is urgent. I will lead my army south now. Li Shuai should return to Yanzhou."
After that, he returned to the army and the army continued to move forward.
Li Xiaochang waited by the roadside for a long time, until the banner of Shao Shude's Chinese army had disappeared among the mountains in the distance, then he got on his horse and returned to Yanzhou.
Dongfang Kui, I will settle my score with you sooner or later.
After leaving Kaocheng City, we walked southeast for several days and arrived at Ganquan County in the afternoon of September 23. At this point, the road opened during the Helian Dynasty period was completed, which is commonly known as the "Sage Road"
The shortcut to Xiazhou.
Because the former army had already passed by, Ganquan County had already made all preparations. The county magistrate led a group of gentry several miles out of the city to greet him, which was even more respectful than to his own general.
The reputation of the Prince of Lingwu County is indeed relatively good among the four states of Yan and Yan!
Shao Shude had no intention of staying here. He only chatted with people in Ganquan County for a while, and after having a light meal, he set off south again, heading straight to Yanzhou.
On the evening of the 25th, we arrived outside Yanzhou City. We received many military reports on the way, basically from various towns across the country.
Qin Zongquan's army is still moving around, causing peace in more than 20 states in Henan, Jingnan, and Huainan.
There was civil strife in the Zhaoyi Army. Ma Shuang, the governor of Mingzhou, rebelled because of conflicts with the upper echelons of the military government. He was quickly defeated and was killed after fleeing to Weizhou. He didn't know whether the horse business there could continue. Meng Fangli decided to
There are only three states left. Facing the huge pressure from Hedong, I don't know how long it can withstand it.
Chen Jingxuan, the commander-in-chief of the Xichuan Festival who was a big cake seller, became the commander and envoy of Sanchuan and the states in the gorge. Tian Lingzi gave his brother such a name, which was a big deal. Chen Jingxuan was not very capable, but the generals under his command were high.
Renhou helped him conquer the east and west, first pacifying the Qianneng Rebellion, and then attacking and defeating the Dongchuan Festival Commander Yang Shili who was unwilling to return to serve in the court. Gao Renhou has now accepted the Dongchuan Festival Commander, and is still deferential to Chen Jingxuan.
.
Poor Yang Shili, his skills were a bit poor during the polo match. Chen Jingxuan scored the first goal and did not go to Xichuan, so now he has ended up dead.
Shao Shude was also refreshed when he saw Chen Jingxuan's new position. It would be great if the imperial court promised him an official position that could govern Xia Sui, Shuofang, Tiande, and Zhenwu Army! Chen Jingxuan could only control Xichuan, Dong
Chuan is still obedient on the surface for the time being, but Zhuge Shuang on the Shannan West Road will never offend him. But he is different. How can Tiande Army and Zhenwu Army resist him?
However, one needs to be cautious about this matter. The Zhenwu Army is currently in alliance with itself, mainly to prevent Li Keyong. But if they want to annex the Zhenwu Army, they will most likely go directly to Li Keyong, and then attack the Datong Army from east to west.
Helianduo, this is unwise, it is better to be cautious.
Dongfang Kui, the governor of Baoda Army, was quite obedient and prepared a large amount of food and grass here, which was enough for the army for one month.
"Shao Shuai, I have a banquet in the city. I heard that the marshal likes beautiful women to dance with swords, and there are also stunning ladies serving him."
Dongfang Kui is younger than Li Xiaochang, probably in his thirties. Shao Shude knows that his position is not very stable. Li Xiaochang is always thinking about recapturing the two prefectures of Yifang.
), if he had been questioned, he would have probably gone south in large numbers.
Dongfang Kui knew very well what he relied on for a living, so he prepared food, banquets, and beauties early, which made Shao Shude very satisfied - there is no need to scold you for being so obedient. Do it well in the future, and Li Xiaochang will not let Li Xiaochang swallow you up.
.
"Commander Dongfang is so polite. Tian Lingzi manipulated power and deceived the saint. He was so worried that he wished he could spread his wings and go south to Chang'an to revive the imperial court. Forget about the banquet. It is difficult for the people to upgrade, so how can they be so extravagant."
Shao Shude rejected his kind offer and said.
"Shao Shuai's words made me really ashamed." Dongfang Kui said in awe: "If there were more people like Shao Shuai in the world, why would the state affairs be like this?"
Shao Shude smiled and shook his head. This Dongfang Kui and Li Xiaochang were carved out of the same mold. No wonder they fell in love and killed each other. They were both shameless and cowardly, and could not achieve great things. I don’t know how much his legacy will be in the history of later generations.
It wasn't taken away by anyone. Judging from his level, it doesn't look like he can keep it.
The four prefectures of Yifang are all the meat on one's lips. If the time is right, you can eat them at any time. It's just that the court is still there, so it's not easy to eat them. There will always be opportunities later. Especially in Yanzhou, Li
There are quite a few of Xiaochang's subordinates who are secretly colluding with him, and they started when they attacked Huang Chao. To put it bluntly, he can decide whether Li Xiaochang can secure his position as the military commander of the defense army.
Presumably he himself was vaguely aware of it.
On the 27th, the army arrived at the Queen Mother Xia City in the south of Yanzhou. The city was also named after Helian Bobo. When Liu Yu destroyed Yao Hong, he sent his son Yi Zhen to guard Chang'an. After Helian Bobo heard about it, he immediately led the army.
The army went south to Guanzhong, leaving the Empress Dowager here to build a city. Time has changed, and today's Xia Empress Dowager's city has been dilapidated. Bao's army built a small warehouse here to stock up on military supplies and firewood. At this time, it was ready for the front station.
The army took it away and used it as military supplies.
On the third day of October, the army arrived in Fangzhou and camped near the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in the west of the city. Officials from Fangzhou and generals from Xingcheng Town came to pay their respects and presented some money, silk, wine and meat.
A few years ago, when King Qin went south, he did not have such good things. How could the officers and generals of Yifang be so arrogant before and so respectful later!
At this time, another military report was received. Wang Chongrong kept sending envoys to Taiyuan and gave him many benefits. Finally, he persuaded Li Keyong to send troops to help him.
Wang Chongrong is really smart. He told Li Keyong, Li Changfu, Zhu Mei and others secretly defected to Zhu Quanzhong and wanted to harm Hedong. Li Keyong became angry when he heard this and decided to lead "150,000 Tibetan and Han troops"
"Go west to Guanzhong and attack Li Changfu and others.
Shao Shude burst out laughing when he saw the military report. He was really bragging better than the other. He sent 33,000 troops, which was claimed to be 100,000. How many people did Li Keyong lead and was actually claimed to be 150,000?
Wang Chongrong might as well be shameless and call for "a hundred thousand troops in the river". So, if 350,000 people were dispatched from the three towns of Hedong, Hezhong and Dingnan, wouldn't Tian Lingzi be so frightened that he ran away immediately?
