Nearly 4,000 households from Jingzhao Prefecture have arrived in Heyang.
They only rested for ten days to recuperate, and then they were mobilized to transport supplies to Guanghe and Banzhu cities.
The corvee work was very hard. I left my hometown and felt anxious.
But the food supply during the corvee is sufficient, including milk powder, cheese, corn rice, crackers, and pickles, which is actually good. One of the horrors of the corvee is that you are required to bring your own dry food, but many poor people do not have overnight food.
Difficult.
The pain of leaving their hometown was diluted by the twenty acres of land promised to them. If you are selected as a Tutuan countryman, train intensively, and go out with the army, no matter whether you fight or not, as long as you go out, you can divide it again after you return.
Five acres of land. If you have military merit, you have to calculate it carefully. In short, the land reward is very generous - no one is worried that King Xia cannot fulfill it, because everyone has seen the abandoned land covered with grass in Meng and Huaizhou...
…
The army was drafted without mercy, but they were provided with sufficient food and allocated land, which seemed to be pretty good for the tens of thousands of strong men in Heyang who trained constantly.
The two cities of Banzhu and Guanghe were seriously damaged, and they are also undergoing repairs here.
Because the large-scale brick and tile kiln in Xiuwu County has begun operation and has produced many bricks, the two cities should be stronger after the repairs are completed.
Wude and Wuzhi counties are also setting up kilns, but manpower is a big problem.
Originally, there were only more than ten thousand Liang people and Huai people captives. Recently, Chang'an refugees (Ximen Zhongsui's party) are being sent here, about ten thousand people. In the short term, it seems to be enough. In the long term, it is still
Not quite enough.
Shao Shude once lamented, why didn't the Tibetan rebels in the Longyou and Hexi towns? Otherwise, he would have many prisoners to use, which was so melancholy.
Of course, if they don't rebel, they will still be conscripted. Shao Shude has just ordered that the Tibetan tribes in Shan and Kuo prefectures and the Dangxiang tribes in Yang, Luo and Liang jointly send five thousand tents to the east to fight for him.
Wei Zhaodu also did well in Longyou. He raised more than 3,000 Qiang tribes from the Min, Cheng, and Tie prefectures and marched eastward. Several Qiang tribes from Taozhou also had several chiefs who came to surrender. Wei Zhaodu expressed optimism that he would do more after he
With some means, Taozhou may be able to be controlled by Longyou Town.
In short, everything is prosperous, and the hinterland in the rear is continuously supporting the front line, forming a very good positive cycle.
War is all about consumption. When Zhu Quanzhong saw Shao Shude's rear, he wondered if he would be so envious that his mouth would water.
On the ninth day of November in the second year of Qianning, when Shao Shude left Shaanzhou and arrived at the Shentai Palace near Huazhou, and planned to go south to Shangluo via Shidi Valley, Gao Renhou personally arrived with five thousand cavalry from the Yumen Army.
Banzhu City.
"Send the order, multiple flags." Gao Renhou ordered as he boarded the parapet that had just been partially repaired. He looked at the Liang Jun navy warships that were gradually disappearing from the river due to the cold weather.
"Let Long Run's soldiers and horses leave the city at night and enter the city during the day. Let me raise the flag high so that the Liang people can see it." Gao Renhou added.
"Yes." Someone soon went down to deliver the order.
Gao Renhou does not have sufficient troops at hand. Currently, he only has 5,000 mounted infantry of the Feilong Army, 5,000 infantry of the Yumen Army's deputy envoy Long Run, 8,000 infantry of the Guanbei Fan tribe, and 8,000 infantry of the German army.
On the right side of the Baoyi army, there were 5,000 soldiers from the Jiebin tribe, totaling more than 30,000 people.
After breaking through Banzhu and the battle of Heyang Pass, a large number of villagers from the Heyang Tuan regiment were lost. The German army and the Baoyi army suffered a lot of casualties on the right side. The reserve army trained by Zhu Shuzong in Lingzhou has already dispatched new soldiers to this side. Now,
We have just arrived at Pujin Pass and are on our way back.
According to the instructions given to him by Shao Shude, the troop concentration will be completed before the end of November.
The first batch of reinforcements came from Wang Yao, the governor of Hezhong, with 10,000 troops.
The six armies of Wuwei, Tiande, Chishui, Wuxing, Guzhen, and Tianxiong, which have been resting in the river for several months, as well as the more than 50,000 bodyguard troops, can also come up at any time for reinforcements.
Li Tangbin had troops and horses under his command, including Tianzhu, Jinglue, Dingyuan, Shunyi, and the Baoyi army on the left, with more than 33,000 foot soldiers and cavalry.
There are also 8,000 infantry cavalry from the Heyuan Army in Tongguan. They and the Leopard Cavalry who have quickly rushed to Tongzhou have more than 1,000 cavalry as a temporary reserve.
The Yi Cong Army, the Zhenwu Army, the Iron Cavalry Army, and the Silver Spear Army all had 36,000 cavalry to guard the old nest in the north of Guan.
After careful calculation, there are already about 74,000 troops deployed on the front line, and more than 60,000 more can be deployed on the battlefield at any time.
The number of troops invested in the two major battlefields in the north this time was indeed a record for the Xia Army, totaling more than 100,000.
We have been rushing to transport supplies for a year, just for this winter’s war!
"I sent an order to Guanghe Town to evacuate the guests, so I set up a suspicious formation so that the Liang thieves would not be able to see the truth."
"The order was sent to Zhuang Jing and Hun Gu to lead 2,000 cavalry from the Yinshan tribe to Zhongli City, and Mengzhou sent 2,000 county soldiers to assist in the defense. Fu Cunxuan led the German army back to Mengzhou, and after replenishing the new troops, started
Go to Wude County."
The two generals Zhuang Jing and Hun Gu were both from the Zhuang Lang and Hun tribes of the five major inspection envoys in Yinshan. They were obviously prepared to prevent Liang Jun from Heyang Nancheng from counterattacking with the cooperation of the navy.
"Send an order to Wei Rang to lead two thousand cavalry to Wanshan Town in the north of Huaizhou to garrison."
Wei Ran was born in the Weicai Department of Jinze, the inspection envoy of Hetao. He went all the way to prepare for the Zezhou soldiers to go south. There were still 3,000 state soldiers in Huaizhou. If Li Hanzhi really didn't know how to live or die, then Gao Renhou wouldn't either.
To be polite, Li Keyong would not be able to say anything if he directly mobilized an army to attack his lair.
By the way, Li Keyong recently had three battles in Youzhou, winning two and losing one.
In the first battle, Ke Yong adopted the plan of his second son Li Cunxu and raided Shan Keji in Yingzhou. He won a great victory and captured and killed thousands of people.
In the second battle, Chengde Wang Rong participated and led 30,000 Zhao soldiers to the north. He joined Lu Wenjin's Mozhou soldiers and marched to Yingzhou. He joined forces with Shan Keji inside and outside to defeat the Jin soldiers. Ke Yong only led 20,000 soldiers.
When the enemy arrived, the bastards brought by the adopted son Li Cunxiao from the grassland fled first, causing the army to collapse.
In the third battle, Gao Si's step brothers in Youzhou heard that Keyong was defeated and rebelled in the city. Li Keyong gathered up his troops and there were still 50,000 or 60,000 people, and returned to fight with the Yan soldiers, defeating them and beheading Gao Sixiang.
Overall, the three battles were won. But after winning, the situation in Youzhou suddenly deteriorated, which left people speechless.
Now Li Keyong is stationing troops in the suburbs of Youzhou, looking up to the sky and sighing, vowing to kill the Gao brothers. But behind him there is Wang Rong who is heading north, Shan can reach it, and Lu Wen has sent tens of thousands of troops, so the situation is not very optimistic.
How could this happen?
Li Keyong once wanted to recruit the 50,000 yamen troops who stayed in Hedong, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and decided to rely on the more than 50,000 people at hand to fight against the thieves from all walks of life. The end was full of pride, but the situation was a piece of cake.
…
Li Keyong fought fiercely in Youzhou, but Li Hanzhi's life could not go on anymore.
No, seeing that the twelfth lunar month was approaching and the winter solstice rewards for the brothers had not yet arrived, Li Hanzhi couldn't sit still.
But don’t forget, the Winter Solstice is immediately followed by the Zhengdan Festival. How can we not give out rewards on such an important festival?
After the first lunar month is the Spring Festival, which is also a very important festival. Later, spring clothes and fabrics will be distributed as rewards. Where will the money come from?
Jinyang will give out rewards? Maybe there will be some, but not enough! You know, there are wars all over Youzhou, and it can no longer provide much wealth to Hedong. This year is destined to live a hard life.
But the warriors in Zezhou don’t want to live a hard life!
At this point, there is actually nothing more to say. On November 15th, Li Hanzhi left Zezhou City with 10,000 cavalry, passed through Luzhou and passed Fukouxing, and then went directly south and invaded Xiangzhou. The first battle
He defeated the unprepared Ye County, and then divided his troops to plunder Linzhang. The troops forced Xiangzhou to Lili Anyang, and the whole state was shaken.
One more thing, Li Han's tribe only bought a "one-way ticket", that is, they did not carry much food and grass with them, and they were completely plundering the fat and oily Wei Bo.
The prime minister, Wei Erzhou, was plundered by Li Hanzhi for the second time. He was also plundered once by Li Keyong. Well, Li Keyong still maintained a little military discipline. He mostly sought wealth and rarely killed people.
, but Li Han's tribe was unruly, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
I wonder what kind of expression Wei Bo Jiedushi Luo Hongxin would have after hearing the news.
When Li Hanzhi just left Zezhou, the news reached Heyang immediately, and then was quickly sent to Shao Shude who was on a patrol.
It was already the 19th when Shao Shude received the news. At this time, Shao Shude had arrived in Luonan County, Shangzhou, and planned to set off for Lisuo Shangluo County one day later to meet with local officials and generals, and take a look at the roads and how the Cangcheng city was being repaired.
, Jingzhao Prefecture, how much grain and silk did Qianzhou transport here?
"I never expected that it would be Li Hanzhi who delivered the first blow." In the camp outside Luonan County, Shao Shude sighed with emotion.
Shang Gong Chen retired after reporting it. She had been feeling a little tired recently, maybe she was pregnant, so Shao Shude planned to let her have a good rest.
Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng were quickly called over.
"Congratulations, Marshal." Chen Cheng smiled as soon as he arrived.
"Where does happiness come from?" Shao Shude asked.
"Commander, Li Han's troops are capable of fighting with thousands of people on foot and cavalry. Once they enter Weibo, they will definitely plunder all the counties. Luo Hongxin, in a hurry, has no choice but to gather all the troops and try to encircle and suppress them. How about dispatching troops and generals?
, Prime Minister, the troops of the guards are naturally the focus." Chen Cheng said: "In ten days, the river will be completely frozen. At that time, the cavalry can be mobilized, pass through Weizhou and enter Huazhou, and let Zhu Quanzhong come and fight."
Shao Shude tapped his fingers on the table, thinking secretly.
There is no doubt that this is a good opportunity. This opportunity comes so suddenly and unexpectedly.
Li Hanzhi, you are so brave!
"If we enter Huazhou, how much troops should we invest?" Shao Shude asked.
"Maybe we can adjust the Guanbei Fan tribe's 3,000 cavalry troops, and the Feilong Army Xue Li tribe's 5,000 troops can also go together." Chen Cheng suggested.
"No!" Shao Shude made up his mind and said: "I have great use for the Feilong Army and cannot go to Huazhou. The specific number of cavalry troops to send to Huazhou will be decided by the Huaizhou camp. Gao Renhou knows my combat intentions.
Let him take charge."
"Commander, do you want Puzhou Shaolun to activate it too?" Zhao Guangfeng asked.
Shao Shude thought for a while and rejected the proposal, saying: "Shao Lun cannot be exposed for the time being, I am also of great use. Don't worry, our army is strong and I have the advantage. Pass the order and send Fan He, the envoy of the Chishui Army, to camp in Huaizhou
The formation envoy led the Chishui and Tianxiong armies to the east, and incorporated them into the Huaizhou camp and combat sequence, and returned to Gao Renhou and moderation."
The Chishui Army, like the Tianxiong Army, is a martial arts unit, and Shao Shude trusts it very much.
Just as Chen Cheng was about to go down to draft an official letter, Shao Shude stopped him again.
"Liang Hanyong, deputy envoy of the Chishui Army, served as You Yi's attack envoy, and ordered him to lead two thousand cavalry of the Chishui Army to travel day and night to Heyang. If a large cavalry army is sent south to Huazhou, it will be under the command of Liang Hanyong." Shao Shude added.
.
Chen Cheng understood that the commander-in-chief wanted to train his son-in-law.
Liang Hanyong has been married to the eldest daughter of the Marshal for many years, and they have a son and a daughter who are their own people. Now that the opportunity is given, whether he can seize it depends on Liang Hanyong's own ability.
After Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng left, Shao Shude was a little excited.
He has many plans, but it still depends on Zhu Quanzhong's reaction. It is still in the exploratory stage, and once the opportunity comes, he will be unceremonious.
After returning to the sleeping tent, the palace officials and female historians were busy working. Shao Shude didn't even look at it. He picked up the girl closest to him by the waist and tore her skirt to pieces. Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Xiao, and he actually touched it in his hand.
You'll know when you do.
Come on, come on, which of Zhu Quanzhong's heavy military groups will be torn to pieces this time?
