"Has the action been successful?" Zhao Xun was so happy that he was worried about the snow disaster for several days.
"Yes, it's simpler than I thought. It's mainly because the navy appeared in time and just now crushing the last straw, which made them have to bear such a result." Zhao Hai said with a smile.
"Brother, have you withdrawn the Qingzhou navy back to Youzhou or the coast of northern Hebei?"
Zhao Xun waved his hand and said, "No, stay there, and even seize the land of Donglai Prefecture, thinking that it is fundamental. The Qingzhou Navy can take control of it steadily, so why should we let it go?"
"Abide by Donglai Prefecture, wouldn't you want to face Qingzhou?"
"It's okay, first borrow the banner of Qingzhou Navy and take the place. I will ask the Eighth Prefecture Army to take a boat to Laizhou County, joining the people of the Navy and occupying Donglai Prefecture. By the way, participate in this time
Those who act will all rise to one level, and this time they will be the first contribution."
Zhao Xun then ordered the Eighth Prefecture Army in northern Hebei to take naval warships from the east side of Cangzhou Prefecture to Laizhou Port, and then occupy Donglai Prefecture in snow.
Because the heavy snow roads are difficult to move, and the people of the Xiaoguo Army stopped them, the news of the fall of the Qingzhou naval army has not been sent to other places for a long time. The Qingzhou Prefecture Army and the guards stationed in the southern part of Qingzhou knew nothing about this and did not expect that
The force beside him was raided and annexed by the Xiaoguo Army.
When the soldiers of the Eighth Mansion arrived at Laizhou Port, it was several days later. The Qingzhou Navy also screened it again. In the end, only 30,000 were suitable for the navy and 10,000 were suitable for the army. The remaining ten thousand were the ones.
, naturally was defeated. But considering that these people suddenly retired from the army and had nowhere to go, or to say, they had nowhere to support their families, they became baggage camps. After all, the next target of the Xiaoguo Army is the Donglai Prefecture.
Zhao Xun came to Laizhou Port in person this time. After all, this is also the second naval army under his command and the largest naval army. With them, his naval army can traverse the eastern seas, rather than shrinking in a corner of Youzhou.
It can be said that the southern waters belong to the Yangzhou Navy, while the northern waters belong to the Xiaoguo Army. From then on, whether it is the Silla Peninsula or Yizhou, or even further away, they will be under the cover of their own power.
As soon as Zhao Xun arrived at Laizhou Port, he summoned all soldiers to announce that the treatment of the Qingzhou Navy's soldiers would be the same as that of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army. However, the military laws and regulations must be strictly abide by. At the same time, he personally presided over the selection of basic officers' military forces, that is, the Great
Competition.
As a result, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Navy let go of their hearts and agreed with the surrender of Xiaoguo Army.
"Lord, the news here is probably already spreading. Should we act?" said Li Lingfeng, the former cavalry captain of the Eighth Mansion.
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Put the sergeant that night into you, start the action. Let them also see how the Xiaoguo Army trained and marched. At the same time, let the Shadow Guard who sneaked into Donglai Prefecture in advance
It is also a supporter. Those who can persuade surrender directly, but those who cannot, will mobilize the people to break the city. The reputation of our Xiaoguo Army is well known to everyone."
The first department of the Eighth Prefecture Army and the temporary 10,000 infantry army were divided into five, and they ran towards the counties under the banner of the navy.
Lu County was the first to be captured. Lu County was close to Laizhou County, so it was naturally to monitor the situation of Laizhou County. The news of the fall of Laizhou County also passed here.
The county magistrate and the commander of Lu County are both smart people. When they heard that the defeated army of Qingzhou Navy appeared outside the city, they knew that the Xiaoguo army was coming. They dared not say that they knew about the situation in Laizhou County.
It is clear, but I know it. Even Laizhou County was taken down, so there are no defeated troops, not to mention the four or five thousand people outside the city, and all the weapons and equipment.
The two of them were not fools, and they soon knew that they were from the Xiaoguo Army. At that time, they did not expect that Zhao Xun would let the Xiaoguo Army attack here. If they seized the Qingzhou Navy, that would be nothing. After all, the Qingzhou Navy has always been
In addition, neither Situ Lei nor Murong Cheng could do anything to destroy it, and no one would say anything.
But this is Qingzhou. If Zhao Xun does this, wouldn’t he rebel?
Resist, I'm afraid it won't work. If the Xiaoguo Army is prepared, they will fight alone. If they don't resist, they are court officials again, and they have surrendered and have become a lot of criticism.
But as some strangers appeared around the mansions of the two generals, and the people in the city seemed to be in a state of chaos, the two opened the city gate. Anyway, if you say you are the Qingzhou Navy, then I will treat it as the Qingzhou Navy.
Sure enough, after entering the city, the so-called Qingzhou Navy took over the whole country of Lu County, began to reorganize the army, and began to maintain order. In the end, the government opened the food and rescued the victims. More than a thousand prefecture troops in Huang County also participated in the rescue of surrounding towns and towns.
The people in Huangxian County still knew that the Qingzhou Navy had been swallowed up by the Xiaoguo Army, and now these people are from the Xiaoguo Army.
The frontier Lu County surrendered, and they advanced all the way. Most of them did not react and were occupied by the city gate. Finally, after posing as the banner of Xiaoguo Army, the city quickly calmed down and no more escaped.
The incident happened. The soldiers of Qingzhou naval army and Huangxian government, who followed the new Xiaoguo army, were amazed at the effect of the reputation of the Xiaoguo army.
Except for this road, the situations of the other roads are almost the same. Although the heavy snow has stopped, there are snow about a foot deep everywhere. They would never have thought that there would be troops here, and even some cities were directly rushed by the army.
Go in.
It was not until half of the cities in Donglai Prefecture fell that the young and strong governors and Xuanfu envoys of Qizhou Prefecture received news that the Qingzhou naval general was killed and the navy was annexed.
Seeing the news in his hand, Cao Bin and Wang Yanqing looked at each other. For them, this was basically impossible. In this heavy snowy weather, Xiaoguo Army took action, but it was a killing one blow, and even led the Qingzhou Water Army.
Give it to eat.
"Xiao Guojun really took action!" Cao Bin said in a lost voice.
The Xuanfu envoy Wang Yanqing also opened his mouth and said for a while: "Show the enemy is weak, and he arranged it secretly, and suddenly attacked. We all thought that Zhao Xun could do nothing to take the navy, but he took advantage of the navy general's relaxation and gave him a killing.
A blow. After miscalculation, the Qingzhou Navy fell into the hands of the Xiaoguo Army again."
"What should we do?"
"What else do you want to do? The navy is not yours. Let's send a message to the King of Qi. His plans are useless." Wang Yanqing said coldly.
Cao Bin also said: "Okay, let the two guards leave our Qingzhou territory as soon as possible so as not to stay here and provide for the service of the master."
Zhao Xun only took a boat back for the New Year. After staying for three days, he congratulated the New Year with Youzhou officials, and asked the troops in northern Hebei to strictly guard the border and returned to the port of Laizhou, Qingzhou.
Things went smoothly. Huang County, the capital of Donglai Prefecture, was taken down, and he still surrendered voluntarily. There was no way, the name of the Xiaoguo Army was revealed. Although they were fighting to pursue the remnants of Qingzhou naval forces, they dared not to open the city.
Do you dare to confront the Xiaoguo Army? I heard that the Xiaoguo Army was coming, and the people in the city who were prepared had directly presented the city gate.
But what puzzled Zhao Xun was that the army suffered a severe blow in Changguang County, losing more than 3,000 people.
After understanding, Zhao Xun realized that they were welcomed by the commander of Changguang County and the county magistrate, and the heavy troops came out and set up an ambush. The commander of this army also died in the city, with only more than a thousand people in the end.
Survived.
Li Lingfeng immediately ordered that he would defend the four counties of Luxiang, Mouping, Dongmu and Changyang in two directions to prevent the Qingzhou Prefecture Army. The other two routes, a total of 8,000 troops, gathered outside Changguang County.
When Zhao Xun arrived, the army had not yet begun to attack the city.
"Master!"
"Pride and complacent!" Zhao Xun said lightly. The reason why this situation occurred in the Lu Army was entirely because the battle ahead was too smooth and was suddenly set up.
Li Lingfeng and Zhu Duwei all looked bad, and they knew that this was indeed their carelessness. But the death of three thousand people was a shame for their eighth mansion.
"Are the people in the city willing to live and die with this city?" Zhao Xun asked in confusion when he saw that there were still many young and strong defenders on the city.
Li Ling said in a stern voice: "The county magistrate here is a good official, so..."
When Zhao Xun heard this, he was speechless. He was indeed a good person for the officials who could consider the people. They could call on the people in the city, which led to the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army being killed in a stroke.
"Didn't there be no information from the Shadow Department in the city at that time?"
Li Lingfeng looked embarrassed and said, "It's spread, let the Lu army temporarily delay entering the city, but..."
"But I just don't listen, right? I think Shadow Department is no big deal, right! It seems that it's still necessary to teach them bloody lessons to make them understand that fighting is not a single person's business." Zhao Xun said coldly.
After a while, Zhao Xun continued to ask: "Have you ever communicated with the defenders in the city? What kind of person is my Xiaoguo Army? Don't they understand?"
Li Lingfeng took a breath and said, "I sent an envoy, but they refused to surrender and wanted to fight to the death with us!"
"Okay! OK! OK! Then let's fight. The three thousand soldiers are not in vain. Regardless of whether he is good or not, he will go against my Xiaoguo Army, so he should be wiped out."
"Take it slow and let the logistics team transport the catapult to me and shoot the thunder! I want the guards in the city to know that they will harm the people in the city." Zhao Xun said gloomyly.
Although it was a mistake by his subordinates, this good official was definitely not a reason to stop him from moving forward. Besides, he seized the territory of Qingzhou. Who knows what Qingzhou and the guards stationed in Qingzhou will do? There is no one behind him.
The factor of stability is by no means what Zhao Xun wants to see.
