Anyang was the capital of the late Shang Dynasty, and the Yin Ruins were located a few miles southwest of the city.
The military roads from north to south often pass through this place, so it is relatively developed. After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty destroyed Ye City, Anyang became the prime minister.
Fifteen miles southwest of the city is Chosigang, where Guo Ziyi broke An Qingxu's army. At this time, a military stronghold was set up, and a small infantry unit was stationed to control the highway under the gang - this highway leads to Youzhou in the north and south to the south.
There are two branches, one going to Luoyang and the other going to Bianzhou.
There is Huan River in the north of Anyang, and there is Anyang Bridge on the river. Cross the bridge and walk fifteen miles to Hanling Mountain. A stronghold has been set up on the mountain, and the main force of the Jiefie Army is stationed here. The Prime Minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan, broke Er Zhu Zhao on this mountain.
Eighteen miles further north is Yema Gang. There is a river in the north of the hill and a bridge on the river, called "Grass Bridge." Yang Jian sent Yu Wenhuang and Yu Chi to fight here.
Seven miles north of Caoqiao is Yecheng, where Yuwen Ling and Yuchi Jong also fought.
This is a miracle in the history of war. Yuwen Orang and Yuchi Jong fought, and tens of thousands of scholars and women in Yecheng watched the battle. Yuwen Orang, Gao Jiong, and Li Xun were not in a good position in the battle and their morale was low, so they made a strange move and attacked the audience first. The audience rushed around and shouted, Yuwen Orang
He sent people shouting "the thieves have been defeated", the army was defeated and the city of Ye was defeated.
Yu Wenxiang won with such a ungrateful method and also injured a large number of unarmed people in Hebei. He should be condemned. But it can also be seen that this place is indeed not far from Yecheng. The Xiaojie Army left five hundred people at this bridge.
The sergeants guarded the area to prepare for Yang Baoyu.
There is a Shiliang Station in the city, and Wang Zhiyan and his party were arranged here to wait for the call.
"The post general's surname is Xue. Is it related to the brothers Xue Song and Xue Wei during the Guangde period?" Wang Zhiyan had nothing to do, so he went to chat with someone.
Xue Song was the grandson of Xue Rengui, the Duke of Pingyang, and the son of Xue Chuyu, the military governor of Fanyang. He took refuge in Anlu Mountain and later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, at the beginning, there were actually not only three towns in Hebei, but four towns. However, after Xue Song's death, his younger brother
Xue Wei did not have the prestige of his elder brother and could not suppress his generals, so his prime minister, Ming Bei (Cizhou did not exist at that time), lost four states.
"Exactly." The postmaster's attitude was rather cold, as if he didn't want to talk more.
But Wang Zhiyan didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "That's one of our own."
The postmaster forced a smile.
"The king of Xia has occupied Xiangzhou, what does General Xue Yi think?" Wang Zhiyan asked with perseverance.
"King Xia didn't act recklessly. He seems to care about the people, which is good." The post general replied.
"When the king of Xia comes, he will definitely impose heavy taxes and recruit soldiers into the army. Most of the state soldiers will also lose their livelihood. I don't know how many people will be affected, but there will be no complaints?" Wang Zhiyan asked curiously.
"We can't control that much anymore. The state army has collapsed and disappeared. Of course there are people who are dissatisfied, but that's it. No one is taking the lead, and there are no reinforcements from outside, who can resist? Besides, King Xia did not recruit soldiers into the army, and even posted notices, everyone can live in peace.
Industry." The post general said.
Wang Zhiyan nodded and asked again: "Since the later Zhou Dynasty, the people from Guanxi have been killing people from Hebei, and no one is worried? In the battle of Yecheng, Yu Wenxing and Gao Qiao slaughtered the people without mercy. Yang Jian was also in Yecheng
Destroyed, a famous city in Hebei was reduced to ruins and fell into ruins. During the anniversary of Wu's reign, Wu Yizong massacred the people of Hebei. After the hardship, the officers and soldiers entered Hebei several times, and military discipline was extremely poor. Shao Shude was also a native of Kansai, and he was a member of Yuwen Black Otter Boom.
If the earth rises, won't you worry?"
The post general was a little silent after hearing this. Although he had not seen Xia Bing slaughtering people wantonly, everyone said so and it should not be false. Are there any exceptions for the Kansai people?
However, King Xia ordered the rebuilding of Dou Jiande Temple in Xiangzhou. There were also rumors among the public that it was King Xia. This Kansai native should be kind to the people of Hebei. There were even more outrageous rumors, but the Yi general did not believe it and King Xia did not admit it.
All in all, for now, it seems that everyone is still waiting and watching, and will not immediately rebel and resist fiercely.
Moreover, many respectable scholars also said that the King of Xia was good. As for what was good about it, they spoke in a cloudy way, talking about destiny and other messy things. The post general could not understand it, and he did not want to understand it, but he knew that the Mao awls were
It's enough to say that King Xia is good - of course, not all Mao Zhuzi said so. Some Cuo Da who had a deep relationship with Wufu had no good words and scolded King Xia as worthless.
"The Xia soldiers have good military discipline and are better than the Jin soldiers." The post general did not want to talk nonsense with this man. Before leaving, he said: "Yaocheng County has been captured by the Xia soldiers. I don't know if there was a massacre. The officials might as well go and take a look.
."
Wang Zhiyan was a little speechless. This post general was so rude, wasn't he afraid that Xiangzhou would return to Weibo and be punished? At the same time, he was secretly frightened by the information he got. You can go east from Yaocheng to Yongji Canal, and follow the water of the canal all the way.
Pass to Weizhou.
Lunch was served at the end of the day.
While Wang Zhiyan was eating a simple meal, he listened to the report from Liao Zuo who had gone out to inquire about the news.
"The Xia people have formed a state army in Xiangzhou and recruited 1,500 troops in the four counties of Anyang, Tangyin, Yaocheng and Linli."
"Lin Liu?" Wang Zhiyan said hesitantly.
"Farewell report, Xia soldiers arrived in Kelinlu County yesterday." A senior official reported from Zuo.
Wang Zhiyan nodded. Fortunately, Yaocheng and Linli counties were captured and did not surrender voluntarily, which made him feel a little better. At the same time, he was very impressed by Shao Shude's ability to seize opportunities. Xiang Wei Er
The state should not be so empty.
"The commander of the state army is named Wang Jichuan, and he is the son of Chao General Wang Yu."
Wang Yu had just passed away, and Shao Shude called Wang Jichuan, who had been studying and practicing martial arts by the prince's side, and gave him the position of commander of the Xiangzhou Army.
The commander of the Weizhou State Army was given an old man who had retired from the Dingyuan Army and was appointed with the rank of ten generals.
The formation patterns of the armies of the two prefectures of Xiang and Wei are similar. Each Xia army selects a thousand older soldiers, usually around forty years old, and divides them into two groups. Each of the two prefectures of Xiang and Wei gets five
Coach Baidu sent his Yamen Shaanzhou Academy to send another thousand new soldiers each to the Prime Minister and Guards, supplemented by fifteen hundred people recruited locally, and the state army was established.
"A businessman said that there was a rebellion in Liyang County, Weizhou. The crowd numbered more than a thousand, and Cai Songyang, the envoy of Tiande Army, suppressed it. He captured more than 200 people, beheaded them all, and hung their heads in the streets and alleys of Liyang County."
Wang Zhiyan was not surprised but happy after hearing this.
Shao Shude was obviously using a gentle strategy. His favorite general Cai Songyang also killed and surrendered, which was bound to offset many of his efforts.
"There are rumors in the city that the Jin people may want to go south, and they will not sit back and watch, and the Wei will be obtained by the Xia people."
Wang Zhiyan nodded and continued eating.
An Jinjun, a general under Li Keyong, served as the training envoy of Xingming Cidu Regiment and guarded the three states of Zhaoyi Shandong for many years. I heard that recently there were more guards, Jin Qianzhi, Huang Jiajun, Wuyuan Army and other reinforcements in front of the hall. They have strong soldiers and horses, so it may not be possible.
Go south.
This was originally bad news, but now it seems it may be good news.
It may take some time for Li Gongquan's rebellion to be quelled. And given Wei Bo's current situation, he may not be able to defeat the Xia people on his own. It would not be a bad thing if forces from outside the town intervene.
"When I returned to the post house just now, I saw Xia soldiers moving northward towards Anyang Bridge. I didn't know what they meant."
"Actually, it's nothing." Wang Zhiyan put down Kuai Zi and said, "Yang Baoyu just led his army to attack and kill the traitors in Caoqiao."
When he met with Yang Baoyu before, he mentioned that Shao Shude only sent "five hundred soldiers" to guard Caoqiao, and he planned to lead his army to recapture it. After all, that place was too close to Yecheng.
We can't give Shao Shude time to clean up and defend the two states. His goal is very pragmatic. Knowing that he won't be able to eat the whole Weibo in a short time, he cuts off a piece first and spends time to sort it out. But the more this happens, the more dangerous it is, and he must not let it
He stood firm.
"Don't come into contact with anyone randomly these days." Wang Zhiyan ordered: "Xiang, Wei Erzhou, it's not that easy for Shao Shude to eat. It's not the time yet, so wait a little longer."
"As ordered." The officials knew the power and responded one after another.
******
In the Xiangzhou Yamen, Shao Shude had just sent Wang Jichuan away when Zhao Guangfeng came over again.
"Your Majesty, after Wei Sheng's army rested and reorganized, they marched eastward to Qizhou, besieged Qishui County for ten days, and defeated it. However, the army was defeated in Qizhou. Shi Zan, the commander of the Yushan Army, was killed in battle, and more than 3,000 soldiers were lost." Zhao Guang
Feng said.
"How did you lose?"
"The Huai people pretended to surrender. Shi Zan led his troops into the city and were defeated."
"Shi Zan was so unpopular? Or was he eager to make meritorious deeds?" Shao Shude asked.
"Maybe it's both," Zhao Guangfeng said.
"Since the beginning of the war, Li Duo and many other generals have died in battle, and Yuhou, there are less than ten generals, and hardly less than a hundred people." Shao Shude sighed: "At the time of recording, the son of Zan came to my son to accompany him personally. The remnants of the Yushan army were on the spot.
Incorporate into the Wei Sheng Army. With Zhe Zongben, we will continue to besiege Qizhou. In this battle, the Huai soldiers will be surrendered, but the thieves and officials will not be surrendered. Also, please do not slaughter the people at will."
"As ordered." Zhao Guangfeng silently wrote it down and asked someone to handle it later.
"Taining Army Yizhou Governor Guo Chubin led his army to the north to aid, but was defeated by Feilong Army. They pursued him all the way, and Governor Guo Chubin surrendered with the city." Zhao Guangfeng continued to report.
This was the second time Guo Chubin went north to aid Yanzhou. He was defeated both times by the Feilong Army and lost all his sergeants. The situation was so bad, but he tried hard twice. To be honest, he was worthy of Zhu Jin.
"Transfer Li Xiu to Yizhou to form a state army. Guo Chubin is still the governor, so he can guard the borders and do not need to be eager to make meritorious deeds." Shao Shude ordered.
Of course Zhao Guangfeng knew who Li Xiu was. Like Wang Jichuan, he was the prince's "playmate" and "study partner". He was a serious military general of the prince's line. At the same time, he was also the martial arts student Li Xiu who died in the war.
Zhong's son, King Xia, attached great importance to the first class of martial arts students. He promoted them during his lifetime and took care of their descendants after their death. It was indeed very good.
Recalling that he had previously ordered the princess to make the final decision on all matters in Luoyang, Zhao Guangfeng understood that this was paving the way for the prince and consolidating his foundation step by step.
"What do you think of Wang Shifan's shameless request for peace?" Shao Shude asked.
"Your Majesty, you might as well agree to it and ask him to move the town to see if he agrees." Zhao Guangfeng said.
"Move to where?"
"Xu Cun in Jingnan fought successive battles with Zhang Lian in Kuizhou and Zhao Kuangning in Xiangyang, and was exhausted. Lei Man of Langzhou attacked again several times, and it was already difficult for him to resist. It would be better to summon Xu Cun to the court and order Wang Shifan to move
Zhenjiangling." Zhao Guangfeng suggested.
Without any surprise, Jing Nan was taken out again.
"That's fine." Shao Shude stood up, walked around twice, and then asked: "Zhao Kuangning has always wanted to designate his brother Kuangming as the military envoy of Jingnan. Will this cause any resentment between him?"
It is understandable that Xiangyang wants to seize Jingzhou. But how can Shao Shude help this easily, unless Zhao Kuangning is willing to give up Xiang, Ying, and restore the three states, but this is obviously impossible.
"Your Majesty, the surrounding areas of Xiangyang are under my control. Brother Zhao Kuangning cannot make a big splash." Zhao Guangfeng said.
"Then let's send someone to talk." Shao Shude made up his mind and said: "Suppress Ziqing and Taining towns as soon as possible, and then seize Xuzhou, so that we can have our hands free. Xing Mingci and Wei Bo have already
It is the next focus. I suspect that Li Kening and An Jinjun will not be able to bear it and lead their troops southward into the muddy waters of Weibo."
