Chapter 45: The New Overlord of the East China Sea I

When the city of Liaoyang was broken, Gao Yongchang abandoned his wife and children and fled, and thousands of Bohai soldiers were afraid of being captured and killed by the Jurchens, so they also fled for their lives.

This is the first time that Xiao Tienu has not fought to enter the city - because Liaoyang has been controlled by Neiying, and it is not a credit to go in by himself. His eyes were fixed on a more valuable target - Gao Yongchang, who had fled to the southeast!

There are only 500 people in Xiao Tienu's department, but Gao Yongchang is in a hurry, where can he dare to stop and fight with Xiao Tienu who is chasing? What's more, the troops are chaotic and the people's hearts are scattered, even if he wants to fight, no one will follow him.

At this time, Lu Kezhong was also in Xiao Tienu's army, and said to Xiao Tienu: "Six generals, it is not enough to get a high Yongchang. ”

Xiao Tienu said: "What do you say?" ”

Lu Kezhong said: "If you can get both Gao Yongchang and southern Liaoning, it can be regarded as a complete achievement!" ”

Xiao Tienu asked, "What is the whole exercise?" ”

Lu Kezhong said: "Gao Yongchang has been attached to the states of Tokyo Province in the past few months, but his army has no fighting spirit and is incapable of fighting again!" I am like a hungry tiger, he is like a sick wolf, the sick wolf is injured, and when he encounters a place to rest, he must lie down and lick his wounds, so I expect that he will avoid entering the walled city, but there is no strong city in southern Liaoning, and when he hears us, he will abandon the city and flee! The people in the city must be afraid when they see them so, we take advantage of the fact that he is halfway out of the city to break in and occupy the walled city. Let's chase all the way, don't chase too closely, and don't go too far! He forsaken a city, and we will take it; If he abandons a village, we will collect a village. Use his fear to show the majesty of our army! ”

Xiao Tienu smiled: "Wonderful! I'm just afraid that the chase will be too slow, so what can I do if I let him escape? ”

Lu Kezhong said: "The east is the Khitan, the south is the sea, where can Gao Yongchang escape?" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Okay! That's it! "The order went down, and asked five hundred iron horsemen to bite Gao Yongchang's tail and not let go, but don't force him to be too anxious.

Along the way, Gao Yongchang really entered the city and rested in the village, but as soon as he heard the sound of Xiao Tienu's iron hooves approaching, he immediately abandoned the city and fled. Xiao Tienu easily connected Haizhou, Chenzhou, Ningzhou, and Fuzhou, all of which are small cities and counties.

After Xiao Tienu entered the city, Lu Kezhong summoned the local gentry, and said good words and comfort, so that they could tell each other and calm people's hearts. And he chose a man of upright and prestige to take care of his land for a while, and then he set out again, leaving not a single soldier behind.

Not long after they left, Cao Guangbi also arrived. Cao Guangbi walked slower than Xiao Tienu, Gao Yongchang went south all the way to desert soldiers, Xiao Tienu didn't have time to accept it, so they were all cheaper than Cao Guangbi.

He also took Zhang Hao and other Bohai scholars with him in the army, all of whom were very familiar with the geography and people's conditions in southern Liaoning. Therefore, Cao Guangbi ordered to leave one person to know the county after passing a county, and one person to know the village after a village. At the same time, each gentry in the region chose one or two children to join the army "as staff officers and supplies", and left a small number of sergeants to help the local governor defend the city and settle the wall, and then went south.

When Xiao Tienu arrived in Chenzhou, he heard that Cao Guangbi was following behind, and his heart was more at ease--they were used to cooperating with each other, and they could guess what the other party would do without news.

Gao Yongchang lost a city in front, Xiao Tienu won a city in the back, Xiao Tienu won a city in front, and Cao Guangbi won a city in Hou'an. In this way, when he arrived in Chenzhou, Cao Guangbi was stationed and did not advance.

Zhang Hao asked the reason, and Cao Guangbi said: "If we go on, we will become tired teachers." Ying Qi has a complete map of Daozhou County, Tokyo, so I also know a lot about the geography of southern Liaoning. Chenzhou is at the halfpoint of Liaoyang and Suzhou, and I am stationed here to echo Tokyo and Tienu. As long as Tokyo is fine, we are fine here. As long as we can gain a foothold here, the Iron Slave will not be alone. ”

Zhang Hao was impressed, and said: "General Xiao is non-stop, and there are no other scholars in the army except Lu Fengji, but I am afraid that political affairs will not be handled carefully." Although we are stationed here, we still have to send men to pacify and liaise. ”

Cao Guangbi asked him to temporarily consul Chenzhou,
