At first, Hao Zhenwei was afraid of fraud, so he sent Tian Xing, the envoy of You Yi, to go out with the cavalry for reconnaissance. It was snowing heavily, and the soldiers were complaining. As a last resort, Hao Zhenwei allocated some property from the treasury to reward him, and then the cavalry was dispatched.
Search and advance in the direction the rebels left.
Later, he sent a team of people out of the city to check inside the military camp. He saw that the rebels were walking in a hurry. The camp was full of broken ordnance, scattered flags, and arrows densely planted on the ground. They didn't even have corpses.
There was no time to collect the coffin, but the snow was so frozen that it was impossible to tell the difference between friend and foe.
The German army also sent people to the south to contact Lan and Shi Erzhou, trying to open up connections with them. After all, Zheluping is an isolated city, and supplies have to be transported from the south. Contact as early as possible and feel at ease as soon as possible.
Due to the natural limitations of supervising and protecting the army, Shao Shude has not had the opportunity to leave the city in the past few days. He only took the time to visit Sun Ba's camp. After meeting, both of them were very emotional and lamented that Li Renjun's luck was too bad. Li Renjun was very unlucky.
Ke Yong clearly had no intention of attacking Zhelu Army City, but he still ruthlessly pulled out this nail. What can you do? They foreign generals were also dissatisfied with Hao Zhenwei's methods. Xicheng soldiers, Fengzhou soldiers, and Zhong
Are city soldiers no longer human in the eyes of Beicheng generals? Sacrifice at will is simply chilling!
On December 13, the weather still did not improve, and the cavalry that had been dispatched in large numbers was withdrawn. Only sporadic scouts and messengers were still wandering outside. Such a cold winter month is really not suitable for human activities. I don’t know about Datong.
How can the army be so capable and still fight to the death outside? Are the Hu people from the five tribes in the north naturally not afraid of the cold? According to the latest news, the Datong army has turned to the east, and under the cover of the snow and wind, they attacked by surprise.
Arriving at Furong City, the defender Su Hongzhen was chased and killed by the rebels for ten miles, only escaping with his own life.
I have to say that this guy is really a waste. When he was the envoy of the Zhelu army, he lost his army and the city. When he returned, he should have been beheaded. Fortunately, there was someone to help him, so he took the newly recruited Qian in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Sergeant Yu came west, entered Furong City, and served as the city envoy. Furong City originally had 2,000 solid troops, plus the 1,000 new soldiers brought by Su Hongzhen. If we defend well, we may not be defeated.
But it happened that Su Hongzhen was defeated. He had no idea about the movements of the rebels. He didn't even know that they secretly moved eastward and occupied the empty building guarding the gate. Later, he was climbed up by someone taking advantage of the wind and snow.
At the top of the city, the gate of Furong City was opened, resulting in a disastrous defeat. Such neglect of duty made it difficult to survive this time.
The Datong Army captured Loufangguan and Furong City, and then became connected with Ningwu County and Shuozhou City. There was no need to worry about their retreat. Now they could advance, attack, retreat or defend, and the situation was greatly improved. The Daibei Expedition Camp heard the news
I was so frightened that I had no choice but to send troops to rescue. Jingle County and Loufanjianmu City were both important places and there was no room for loss, so I sent Zhaoyi Army Jiedushi Li Jun and led 5,000 troops from the Taoist army to Qianzhu Valley for rescue. Cui Jikang supervised himself.
Thousands of elite soldiers from Hedong followed behind as a reserve.
The battlefield went round and round, and now it seems to have moved to the east. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the Tiande Army. But don't worry, Cui Jikang is not blind, and he is not that forgetful. He has sent people to the Zhelu Army and Kelan Army to order them to
They all marched out together to attack the Datong rebels and be sure to eliminate them in the high mountains of Hedong.
Shao Shude heard the above news from the supervisor. Now he has Qiu Weidao's trust. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant. After the war, the possibility of building the West City of Tiande Army is getting lower and lower. Qiu Weidao now encounters major events.
, they would call him and Song Le over to discuss together. As for old Yuancong people like Guan Kairun, they would basically only come to them when they have personal matters. It cannot be said that they do not trust them, but at least they are not as good as Shao Shude.
This time Cui Jikang asked the Tiande Army and Kelan Army to send troops, but Qiu Weidao was not willing to do so. He was indeed loyal to the court, and he was not used to the selfish nature of the warriors, but in the final analysis, people
He is a creature that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. He is not loyal enough to risk his own life. Yes, in his opinion, the Tiande Army and the Kelan Army combined to have more than ten thousand people, braved the wind and snow to send troops and cross the mountains.
, the risk is extremely high, and the entire army may be wiped out.
But maybe our Qiu Supervisor Army doesn’t have to worry too much, because just this morning, all the Tiande Army units started making a fuss when they heard that the whole army was going to be dispatched. Including the Ya Army battalions from Beicheng, some people were making noises and causing trouble, and they were asking for winter clothes.
After a while, he wanted to reward him, which made it a mess and made it impossible to communicate.
On the way back from Hao Zhenwei, Qiu Weidao encountered noisy soldiers. Although nothing had happened yet, signs of chaos had appeared, which made Qiu very panicked. As soon as he returned to the Military Supervisory Academy, he found Shao Shude and ordered
The gates of the courtyard were sealed, and all soldiers were fully armed and guarded to the death.
There are about 200 people in the guard army. They are a little restless due to the influence of the outside atmosphere. However, Shao Shude's work these days is not in vain. The soldiers' ideological dynamics are well grasped, and they are pretty good. At least they are better than others.
After eating a few more times, the ordinary food of the Military Supervisory Academy was not bad. After a little scolding, I suppressed it. Afterwards, the five regiments of the Guards were neatly dressed, and the two most powerful teams, the front and rear teams, gathered hundreds of people.
Living in the barracks on both sides of the Military Supervisory Courtyard, the other three teams defended various places, guarding the small Military Supervisory Command Courtyard tightly.
The army at the end of the Tang Dynasty was like this. Rewards were the biggest driving force for soldiers. In many poor vassal towns, military pay was roughly equivalent to rewards. The more rewards, the more military pay you would have this year. In such a cold climate, it was still
It was absolutely impossible for them to go out and attack others without a reward. The problem was that Hao Zhenwei, the leader, had no money to reward him. This was the main reason for the commotion in the whole army after the order to camp was issued.
This matter may not be resolved in a short time!
"Your Majesty, since the capital has sent people to ask for rewards from Jinyang, the important matter should be fine. In this windy and snowy weather, winter clothes are not enough, so it is normal for the soldiers to have complaints. Marshal Cui has led the soldiers and horses from Hedong and Zhaoyi towns.
Jingle, as long as we don't fight, Li Keyong can't make any big waves." Looking at Qiu Weidao with a frown on his face, Shao Shude didn't know what to say.
In fact, he also has some opinions on Cui Jikang's long-distance remote control command. As a commander-in-chief, your job is to make strategic arrangements, assign tasks to the generals in certain directions, and then let them perform on their own. This
It is not modern. There are radio stations that can update orders at any time. We can only send human messengers to deliver the news. Not only is it inefficient, but there is also the risk of leaking secrets. The deployment before the Daibei Expedition Camp was the policy set by the imperial court. After Marshal Cao took office, he could only
Fine-tuning has been done, and there is no problem with the strategy. As long as we fight well, how can we lose?
Marshal Cao is a military man, and he is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the 780,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Daibeixing Camp. The advantages are that there are more soldiers, sufficient food, and the actual combat effectiveness of each unit is good. After all, the standing armies of each vassal town are indistinguishable. The disadvantages are also
It is obvious that the internal components are complex, there are too many nonsense things, the tens of thousands of guest troops have no strong desire to fight, they are suspected of doing errands, and they are prone to making trouble and looting. After careful analysis, Marshal Cao made two routes, east and west.
Harassment, containment, Xin, on behalf of the two states to defend to the death, to bring reliable elite troops - not too many, ten or twenty thousand people are enough - to check for leaks and fill the gaps, there is no problem in the general direction. If it weren't for Hong
In the Battle of Gu, they were defeated in an ambush. With so many soldiers and horses, they slowly advanced and crushed Li Guochang and his son to death.
Cui Jikang is a scholar. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand military affairs. He can just follow Xiao Gui and Cao. Youzhou Town has been urged repeatedly by the court to send out another army to attack Yuzhou. The three Shatuo tribes are now also intimidated.
The method was to draw a clear line with the Li family and recruit soldiers from the Shatuo tribe to assist the court in annihilating the Li family. Although the five tribes in the north were nominally surrendered to the court, they were not very obedient because the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. But it didn't matter, the court envoys
They have also been working hard, planning to ban them a little, and reward them with some goods. If they can't guarantee it, they can persuade them to send troops. By then, the Li family and his son will be surrounded from all sides. What if they don't die?
In fact, the strong intrusion of the Tiande Army and the interception of the Caocheng River road have greatly reduced the activity space of the Li family and his son, which is of great significance to the Daibei Expedition Camp. Even now, Li Ke has taken the risk of surprise troops and occupied Furong City.
As long as Jingle County, Loufanjianmu City, Gujiao City, Qianzhu Valley, and Yangqu County are all on the same line, how can Li Keyong attack Jinyang? He can be lucky once and twice.
How can I still be lucky five or six times in a row? There is only one way to these points, which is not easy to beat, and it is impossible to bypass any of them.
Now that Cui Jikang has made such micro maneuvers, if the Tiande Army and Kelan Army abandon the fortified city and start moving, there is a possibility of being annihilated by the enemy in the field. Fortunately, the military atmosphere in this era is not good. You need rewards for setting off, rewards for marching, and rewards for fighting.
Rewarding money, mutiny and asking for reward at every turn. In this cold winter, Hao Zhenwei really didn't dare to force the sergeants to march long distances to fight. I just don't know how the Kelan Army in the south is doing, but it is probably about the same. Jia Jingsi's situation is not as good as Hao Zhenwei's.
, it is even less possible to lead troops out of the city unless Lanzhou helps distribute rewards.
So, these two orders are actually waste paper. Hao Zhenwei understands it, Jia Jingsi understands it, but Cui Jikang does not understand it, but I believe he will understand it soon.
"The soldiers are indeed tired after fighting continuously. The heavy snow outside seems to have no end, the roads are blocked, and the food and wages are cut off, which is understandable. Alas, this envoy is worried about state affairs. Guochang and his son,
When will the rebellious and arrogant people be put down?" After hearing Shao Shude's lenient explanation, Qiu Weidao took advantage of the situation and said. However, he also glanced at the warrior standing in front of him. If the people under Hao Zhenwei can cause trouble and demand rewards, Shao will be rewarded in the future.
Wouldn't it be possible to imitate him and come to this experience? Well, Guan Kaiyun is an old man he brought from Chang'an. He knows everything about him. It would be good to summon him in two days and have a chat.
"You don't have anything to do here, go down and organize the military affairs. Remember, the soldiers must be restrained." Qiu Weidao waved his hand and motioned for Shao Shude to retreat.
