Chapter 291: Labor

On March 16 of the ninth year of the Xuanli calendar, the wild spring and the swallow have returned.

Fu Xiaoguan and his entourage, under the leadership of the officials of the Guanli Palace, left Fancheng and headed for Guanyun City - as for Guan Tong, Guan Tong was drenched in rain for most of the day yesterday, coupled with his impatience, he was already ill and difficult to live, so he stayed in Fancheng to recuperate.

It is only a hundred miles to Guanyun City, but these more than 100 miles are all the way up, so the speed of the convoy is not fast.

Wu Ling'er found a reason to negotiate business with her two sisters, and got into the princess's chariot of Yu Wenyun, and Fu Xiaoguan was kicked out by Dong Shulan and sat in his own carriage.

At this moment, he was looking at the secret letter in front of him.

Yesterday's sentence to Yan Hanyu in the Fancheng Welcome Building about the war in the east is naturally a lie, after the great prince Yu Wentian mastered the eastern border army, he was not able to drive the Yi army to the Sangyu line, and the Yi army was not defeated like mud, the latest information from the drizzle building is like this:

On February 20 of the ninth year of Xuanli, the enemy and us had a total of 260,000 troops at Shilipo, and the troops of both sides were equal.

The war began in the early hour, our general Fei led 50,000 heavy cavalry to rush down from the ten-mile slope, at the beginning of the time to cut through the enemy's main formation, and then the two wings of 60,000 light cavalry and the enemy clashed, the enemy retreated to Guanshanji.

However, our army suffered heavy casualties, and when the battle reached Yin, both sides withdrew their troops, and our army failed to break through Guanshanji.

According to statistics after the war, 16,000 of our army's 50,000 heavy cavalry were killed and 28,000 were wounded, of which 5,000 were seriously wounded and only more than 20,000 were able to fight.

Of the 60,000 light cavalry of our army, only 40,000 are left.

It's night, sub-hour.

General Fei led 20,000 heavy cavalry to storm Guanshanji, and the enemy was repulsed for a time, but failed to defeat it. The enemy launched a counteroffensive in Yucho and recaptured Guanshanji.

On February 23, the eldest prince sent 20,000 light cavalry with the intention of making a detour to Huaxi and Linjiapu to Guanshanji, and General Fei commanded 15,000 heavy cavalry to charge the enemy army at Guanshanji.

On February 25, this strategy was successful, our army recaptured Guanshanji, and the enemy retreated to the Sangyu defense line.

General Fei intended to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but was stopped by the eldest prince, because at this point, only more than 100,000 of the 300,000 eastern border troops could fight again, mostly infantry.

After that, our army strengthened the defense line of Guanshanji, and the tent of the great prince moved to Guanshanji.

On the first day of the first month of March, the enemy army regrouped again, reinforcing the 80,000 army, which was swept by the Hongling Army under the command of Feng Xianchu, the general of Yiguo.

Five days later, our army ran out of ammunition and food, and Guanshan was lost!

General Fei led the remnants of the guards to escort the prince to withdraw from Guanshanji and retreated to Shilipo again.

The next day, the military headquarters sent 25 red-coated cannons.

The enemy launched a charge on Shilipo, and for the first time our troops used red-coated artillery.

Its majesty is like the wrath of the sky, and its voice is like the roar of a dragon!

The shell fell into the enemy camp and exploded, and then saw countless horses frightened, the enemy army seemed to bomb the camp, the formation was chaotic, General Fei attacked again, the enemy army was defeated and retreated, but our army was unable to continue, and finally failed to complete the work, and the two sides confronted each other again at Shilipo.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, the enemy attacked again, they plugged the ears of the war horses with cotton silk, although the red-coated artillery of our army was still fierce, but the number was too small, and the killing of the enemy was limited, and by the tenth day of the first month of March, Shilipo was lost.

Our army retreated to Lanling City.

On the third day of the third month of March, His Majesty mobilized the 150,000 troops of the southern border army to open Lanling.

……

After all, he was defeated.

Fu Xiaoguan put down the letter, lifted the window of the car, and then picked up another secret report.

This secret report comes from Xishan Express.

The consequences of the snowstorm in Shanxi Province were extremely serious, and by 20 February, more than 10,000 people in Yongning Prefecture alone had frozen to death and starved to death. The palace chief of Pingling Mountain took this opportunity to lead more than 50,000 Heavenly Dao troops to raid Yongning City, the capital of Yongning Prefecture.

Yongning City only put up a little resistance, but the gates were opened by the garrison.

According to investigation, the governor of Yongning Prefecture and the city guard of Yongning City are all in the system of Shi Valve.

After the palace chief entered the city, the 50,000 Heavenly Dao army looted for three days, and Shi Shiran left only when the border army of Xincheng came.

They were accompanied by a garrison of 10,000 in Yongning City, who joined the rebels.

The head of the palace returned to the mountain again, and there were 30,000 more refugees who followed him!

The northern palace is long and large, its war horses come from a wasted country, its armor is no different from the border army, I am afraid of the climate, the young master's trip to the north is extremely dangerous, and it must not be feasible!

What the hell!

Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath, the war in the east fell into a stalemate, even if the 150,000 troops of the southern border army rushed to support, at most, it would be to subdue the lost territory and want to fight the horse plain...... It's simply impossible!

It's not that the Yu Dynasty's army is not good at fighting, but Fu Xiaoguan is very aware of the current situation of the Yu Dynasty.

The defeat of the Great Prince is not a matter of strategy, and there are two main reasons for this.

One is that he was in charge of the Eastern Frontier Army for the first time, even if he controlled the Eastern Frontier Army through his former chess piece Jiang Gaoyuan, but he didn't know what his sergeants were.

Being in charge of the army and not knowing the generals is a big taboo!

The second is the great shortage of strategic materials in the Eastern Frontier Army, even if Dong Kangping reacted in a timely manner, it still could not be supplied sufficiently.

Many soldiers didn't even have armor, and they didn't even lack weapons, how could this battle be fought?

The only hope now is that Yu Wentian is not so stupid, if he can use the red-clothed cannon for city defense, it is impossible for Lanling City to fall.

As long as Lanling City can be defended, it will be impossible for Yiguo to herd Lanling. As long as the red-coated cannons can be equipped with 100 guns, they can deter the Yi country and the east can be stable.

This east is a foregone conclusion, and he is now more concerned with the north.

The head of the palace obviously got the support of the desolate people, what he lacked was money and food, but the remnants of the Ningzhou Shivalve solved this big problem for him, and then there were so many refugees to join, and there was no need for the desolate people to fight in the north, and the northern border army was too busy to take care of itself - the desolate people were outside the Yanshan Pass, but the palace chief was inside the pass!

If you don't destroy the length of the palace, don't say that opening a workshop in Quyi and Pingling counties is a dangerous place to pass through from that place!

Fu Xiaoguan thought about it for a long time, picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Bai Yulian, and once again wrote a letter to Qin Chengye.

It is imperative to suppress bandits!

However, this bandit cannot be killed blindly, and if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, and with 2,000 special forces against tens of thousands of bandits, he must be crushed in all aspects, otherwise he will hit a stone with an egg.

In the letter to Qin Chengye, he described the production method of the telescope, the principle and method of hot air balloons, and even mentioned some extremely lethal bombs and bombs.

In the end, he wrote a letter to Wang Er, saying where the Fu generation was placed, and once again talked about the cultivation of the Fu second generation in great detail.

This is the foundation of his foothold as a landlord, and it is also the key to the country's ability to relieve this breath.

Only by solving the problem of eating can the world be stable!
