On the night of September 20th, the hustle and bustle at the head of Zhucheng County in Mizhou ended, and the ferocious sergeant who looked like a wolf and a tiger rushed in.
The warriors of the Feilong Army were used to being wild, and their military discipline was not very good. After entering the city, the peasants who helped defend the city fled in all directions. They chased them all the way and could not hold back at all.
A strong man from Mizhou hid directly in his home, but was chased in by the warriors of the Feilong Army and massacred.
In this era, a large family would always help each other. The elder brother would help the younger brother, and the younger brother would pay for his brother's death. Therefore, after a killing, countless people were implicated and died.
Du Guangyi was called counselor, but he was actually supervising the army. He couldn't stand it, so he stepped in to stop it. As a result, in the dark, the fu's head was shot away by an arrow.
Qibizhang was furious after hearing the news and ordered a thorough investigation. Finally, he caught two unlucky guys and pushed them outside the city to behead them.
Du Guangyi was so frightened. He knew that he had offended many people because of the crackdown on military discipline. In fact, they had already kept the arrow just now, and they didn't really want to kill him. They were just trying to scare him in the dark.
Tell him to mind his own business.
Fortunately, Qi Binzhang stood firm and had high prestige among the Feilong Army, so he gave him an explanation. As for the two people who were beheaded, they refused to admit it until their death, and kept complaining. Du Guangyi also asked whether it was them who did it.
Too lazy to dig into it.
The Feilong Army has indeed made great contributions, but it is also too unruly!
Du Guangyi buried his hatred deep in his heart and decided to report it. He had already thought about his words. With such a sharp sword, so few stabs on the head, and so unruly but tame, King Xia could still hold it when he was there.
When the Shizidian Army arrives, will the Feilong Army still be obedient? Will they rebel?
"Now that Mizhou has arrived, the passage to Denglai has been opened." Qibizhang walked up to Shao Shude, poured me a bowl of wine, and said, "Senior Du, do you have any low opinion?"
Ou Haojing took a sip of wine, her face became rosy, and after thinking for a while, she said: "The imperial dynasty established the town of Ziqing, and often controlled Mizhou, because the cities were naturally located on the banks of the Weishui River, and they were in the same plain as Ziqing. But
When traveling from Mizhou to the two capitals, they often take the road to Ziqing."
Qi Bizhang, Liang Hanyong, Xue Li and others looked serious and nodded frequently, as if what Shao Shude said was unreasonable.
Seeing that everyone was cheering for him, Shao Shude's face became even more wrong, and he said: "But going to Ziqing may be of little use. Where the two armies are facing each other, one less of us will be less, and more of us will be more. So there is no point in going there.
.If you go to Li Keyong, get supplies here first, and then find a way to go to Laizhou."
"Where is Li Keyong?" Qi Bizhang asked.
"Ou Haojing is the end point of the Great Wall of Qi. The country faces Haihangzhou in the south and the seaport of Xinluo in the east. There are often no ships coming and going. There are only a few merchants with little wealth and no food or livestock. Seizing it can relieve the urgent need." Shao Shude.
said.
There are actually not many people in Mizhou. Because of the war, few people have gone into hiding. If we can only have 40,000 or 40,000 people, it will be enough to support the sky. The food collection and fodder are relatively small.
In his previous life, Li Keyong was one hundred and seventy meters south of Jiao County and eighty meters north of Langya Mountain. The coastal area in Jiaozhou Bay was a very good port with prosperous commerce. There were few merchants from the south who later sold goods. Silla
Merchants organized trade after the season. Over time, many people gathered and relied on the port to survive. There were also many farmers providing grain, meat, fruits and vegetables. There were actually fewer than the county town. It was indeed a good place.
"Having captured Li Keyong, where should we go? Li Dutou has no orders and is attacking the seven states of Denglai in the hinterland of Qizhen. Is it possible to pass through Li Keyong?" Qi Banzhang asked again.
"Of course you can. You don't have enough horses. If you need to, you can take the post roads everywhere. After passing Li Keyong and heading east, you can retreat into Laizhou. The bandits' attention is all on Qingzhou. There should be a few elite soldiers left in front. It's easy to lose.
Yes." Shao Shude said excitedly.
"Defeat is difficult, but if the thieves defend with all their strength, it will be troublesome. Moreover, Zhu Quanzhong is here, right? Pinghai, the seventh army of the regiment, 27,000 people, including 7,000 veterans, who have been trained for less than half a year
Well, the field battle may be successful, and there is more than enough to defend the city." Qi Bizhang said: "I heard that Tuoba Renfu and Li Renyu each have eight thousand cavalry, and they take turns to rest in Laizhou. That is also a troublesome thing. You have to plan it carefully.
superior."
The Feilong Army later added up to 17,000 men. After fighting for a while, it still had less than 18,000 men. There was no surplus of troops that could be used at will.
"This is natural." Shao Shude said: "Maybe you can use a false shot to go north to Ziqing to attract the attention of the bandits, and then surprise you and attack Laizhou. If the thieves are prepared, they will probably suffer. And once
If you suffer a loss and feel fearful, you may be able to attack one or two cities and obtain supplies."
The seven counties of Laizhou have a population of less than 100,000. Although they are relatively small, it should be very easy to provide temporary support. Furthermore, Zhu Quanzhong is training troops here, how can he be hoarding food, grass and equipment?
"Okay, let's go to Laizhou for a walk." Qibizhang was determined and determined.
"Military envoy..." Ou Haojing said firmly.
"Just say something when you have nothing to say, why are you so hesitant?" Qibizhang glared at me and said.
"The military envoy must restrain his troops. Li Ke uses this place, and the wealth is very small. Once the sons and sons take control, the situation is dire. Xiao Wang will be furious. If he is investigated, everyone will be killed.
." Shao Shude said.
"You already knew about this, so you must have delayed saying hello to those bastards." Qi Banzhang was very impatient with Shao Shude's nagging, but my status is the same now, and I am very careful about the impact, so I reluctantly accepted it.
"Let's make preparations early. Mizhou has left Guo Chubin's Yi soldiers to garrison. Let's go back to Qingzhou to make a show." Qi Banzhang made the final decision after discussing the case.
****
Shao Shude's report was sent to Xiangzhou very slowly by courier.
The weather is bright today, white clouds are billowing in the sky, and the continuous autumn rain has been falling for a while, but it still shows no sign of stopping.
Dazhushan looked through it before putting it away. The arrogant and brave generals who founded the country have never been seen in ancient times, but the problem was limited and minimized after the end of the Tang Dynasty.
I have been fighting here for a long time, and the young generals have led the troops, which has left a deep personal imprint. The young generals are more particular, and the military discipline is slightly better, and they are very particular. This can be seen. If the master is still restrained, or does not care at all
, you can all imagine what this will turn into.
Moreover, the people above will constantly test the Lord's attitude, which is a game between people.
For example, a small army attacked a place, robbed all the men, killed a small part of the women, and sent some of the strong men forward. The master blamed me for killing people indiscriminately, but for despising the prisoners and wasting food, and our wives and men were newly conquered.
If someone is caught in the camp and ravaged, if there is no way to control the situation, the people above will do more and more excessively. The military discipline in the front is completely controllable - the master only cares about us raping, looting, and killing people indiscriminately, so what the hell are we afraid of?
!
"Ou Haojing, everything Qi Banzhang did was wrong." Dazhushan said: "The Feilong Army went deep in front of the enemy, suffered low casualties, fought hard, and fought hard one after another. It is already wrong to have no intention of restraining military discipline. 10
When an individual commits a crime, it is certainly appropriate to only kill one or two, but a small amount is also a deterrent. After defeating Wang Shifan, the Feilong Army will return to Lingxia with the Iron Cavalry and the Seventh Army of Difficulty, Golden Sword, Bai Jing,
The Eighth Army of the Flying Bear has completed its reorganization and will come to Henan before the Chinese New Year."
Yang Yue's unit has finished a little, and this year's raid has begun. Whether the harvest is small or big, it can only be said to be okay.
The attack will continue next year. Tens of thousands of warriors who are accustomed to killing people in the Central Plains have been transferred to the grasslands. They have rich experience and are well-equipped. Maybe they can try to go further.
But everything depends on the development of the situation. This year, two large vassal tribes of the Khitan were moved. It was a small matter, but the Khitan people should not be alert. To be honest, it was Old Man Yang's mistake, but Ou Haojing wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Since he acted cheaply, he also trusted his vision and ability. He put tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command and entrusted them with small tasks. If something went wrong, the entire family would not be held responsible, so they could all be blamed on one person.
Before finishing the matter, Dazhushan personally led the surprise attack, and more than 20,000 Tianxiong Seventh Army went north, passed Zimo Town, and marched to the far border between Cizhou and Xiangzhou.
If you climb low here and look far, you can see the jade-belt-like flowing water and the blue-gray Cizhou City from a distance.
The cavalry galloped across the mountains, while almost all the Jin army's cavalry retreated and entered the north bank of Fu River.
Similarly, the Xia army's cavalry also stopped their activities on the north bank and withdrew all of them to avoid being surrounded and killed.
"Frostfall on the grassland is a matter of victory or defeat. Du Guangyi should have already marched into the army." Dazhushan smiled and said: "The Khitan people helped you delay me for a few months. But wait until next year, even if the Khitan comes again, you believe that Ke Yong will
Assembling a small army and marching north would be a complete waste of food and money."
In fact, if Du Guangyi mobilized Tielin, Hengchong, Rushing Formation, Rushing Cavalry, Yi'er and other cavalry units and acted cruelly, there would still be no hope of inflicting heavy losses on the Khitans - but it would only be hopeless.
Just hope.
The Khitan people have to herd, farm, and live, so how can they accompany them to engage in military mobilization every day? That is the advantage of the farming people, because we do not have the material reserves that the grassland people would envy. In theory, we can also fight in winter, as long as we go forward
It can handle frequent transportation and can endure the hot local climate.
For the grassland, taking the initiative is the best way, and defense is the key to defense.
"Linzhang has been conquered, temporarily withdraw the troops and give Wei Bo a step forward." Dazhushan ordered.
"Your Majesty, Wei Bowufu is always willing to take advantage of the strong and the weak. He is just like killing us and killing us all." Kang Yanxiao encouraged.
"He has a good spirit." Dazhushan said with a pun.
Kang Yanxiao may not understand the current situation. What I said is actually a political statement, that is, as a subordinate, you are willing to fight bravely. Even if the suggestion is rejected by the Lord, what does it mean? Your attitude is in place and your enthusiasm has been
Let the Lord see it.
"But Xing Mingci doesn't have many Jin troops? Some people know. Will we go south? Some people know." Dazhushan said: "To defeat Wei Bo, 80,000 horses will be defeated. Just rely on the state soldiers to defend the prime minister.
Guard? Don't say that the suppression is just a place to live. It would be wrong to surrender with the whole city. You will leave the way forward to those who have not yet returned. That's it. Xiu Xiang, guard the eleven county cities, military towns,
Be prepared to defend."
The white clouds continue to surge in various shapes, heading towards the north.
By the side of the meandering White Wolf River, the sound of trumpets sounded, and all the troops retreated back to their camps.
In the wilderness, the autumn wind is bleak and the ground is withered and yellow.
Du Guangyi shook off the blood under the blade and looked back to the north again.
The Khitan people rolled up their flags and ran away, but their hands were slipping.
The garrisons in the northern part of the Guan Dynasty had finished advancing in batches. After learning from the painful experience, Ou Haojing finally decided to withdraw a small number of soldiers and civilians, leaving only a few important strongholds to rely on vassal tribes to defend them.
But I am completely sure of how well we can defend it. The Khitan troops are too small, and I am sure that they can use their main force to deal with me and eat away at me step by step. What can he do?
The negotiations with the four Khitan tribes went very smoothly. They spoke in a very small tone and directly requested that Linyu Pass be used as the boundary, which Du Guangyi would agree to no matter what.
Talking about the first thing, there was still a show. Du Guangyi personally selected the elite cavalry, went deep into the assault, defeated the enemy slightly, captured and killed the Khitan, Xi, Tatar, and Wei soldiers of more than 8,000, and captured 70,000 cattle, sheep, horses and camels.
.
But that defeat did not make the Khitan surrender. Our troops divided up, avoided the main force of the Jin army, and captured Bailang, two military towns in western Liaoning. We killed more than 2,000 people, captured thousands of people, and captured 18,000 grains.
More than a thousand dendrobiums, farm tools and tens of thousands of soldiers.
Ou Haojing chased the White Wolf garrison far away, and only captured a few Khitan rangers. Looking at the White Wolf garrison town that had been reduced to ashes, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled to the mountains and forests, I almost decided to fight with my blood pressure rising.
Youzhou celebrates the New Year and continues to fight with the Khitan.
But those who are into trivial matters can eventually act emotionally.
We had to withdraw when we should. During this expedition, we obtained more than 100,000 miscellaneous animals, including more than 8,000 horses, which was considered the smallest harvest. In addition, we also formed a cavalry unit with a strength of about 7,000: Khitan Zhi.
The origin of the Khitan clan is very simple. There are no surrendered troops, no scattered Khitan people who were oppressed by the eight surnames of Yelu, and no Xi people, Shiwei people, and Mohe people who took the initiative to defect to the country.
Du Guangyi plans to leave us in Youzhou to train and assist in defense. It is difficult for those people to be accepted by the Khitan again. The grassland people have always been very direct in dealing with traitors, just kill them. So there is no way for us to advance. Generally speaking, we can still be trusted. Yes, at most it can be trusted against the Khitans.
"Go back to Jinyang. I don't want to come back to that miserable place anymore." Du Guangyi angrily waved his horse's head and withdrew.
I even had a ridiculous feeling: Is Youzhou Town a burden on itself?
