Chapter 66: Trapped in the River

These Jin soldiers were oppressed by the Khitans, and they were already resentful, but this time they were ordered to drag their families and move north to Saibei, and they became more and more resentful. was provoked by Wu Xingde, and it was blown up directly, and with the prestige of Wu Xingde, all of them expressed their willingness to do it with him.

The boatmen were quickly agitated, and the slender men who were forcibly recruited by the Khitans, who had not suffered from the Khitans, were all angry to follow them. As for the accompanying Jin Jun's family members, there is no other choice but support.

"Erlang, pass the order and distribute all the armor and ordnance. Free up a few ships, and choose enough 800 strong men, although I will go west along the river. The rest, led by you, with the protection of relatives, escorted by armor! In the cabin, changing into a military armor, Wu Xingde quickly commanded his younger brother Wu Xingyou.

"Big brother, where are you taking us?" Wu Xingyou asked.

These people only know how to follow the uprising, and basically do not think about the next move alone. The decision is a matter of life and death, and it is up to Wu Xingde to make the decision.

"Heyang!" Wu Xingde said with great certainty: "At present, in the Central Plains and Hebei, the Khitan people are heavily armed, and they must not go eastward downstream. Staying in Heyin, guarding the city, and waiting to die. Only Ha Yang is our only place to go, the only way to live! ”

"Why?" Wu Xingyou was a little puzzled.

With patience, Wu Xingde explained to his younger brother: "The Hedong army has moved south, occupied Luzhou, and controlled Zezhou. As long as we go west and take the land of Heyang, we can be connected with Helu and Ze. Now, the Khitans' determination to withdraw from the Central Plains is determined, and we only need to rely on the Hedong army and retreat according to the land of Heyang. ”

"I've long thought about the possibility of success in this matter. If the Khitan retreats, the Son of Jinyang will march into the Central Plains sooner or later, and then we can use the land of Heyang as the capital for advancement. We were in Heyin, and suddenly attacked, but before the Khitans could react, they went up the river and raided Heyang. ”

"Time is tight, so I can't afford to delay a bit. Jiro, let's give the order! ”

After listening to Wu Xingde's decision, Wu Xingyou didn't realize the calendar, and subconsciously arched his hand and said: "Then I'll go with my eldest brother!" ”

"No!" Wu Xingde shook his head and refused, waved his hand to stop Wu Xingyou, pointed to the dozens of ships behind him and solemnly admonished: "Erlang, you must know the importance of these weapons to us, and when we occupy Heyang, we can quickly gather a righteous army to fight against the Khitan." The families of the brothers must also be protected, they are behind their backs, and the soldiers will let go of fighting with me! ”

Seeing that Wu Xingde was so solemn, Wu Xingyou nodded: "Yes." I will definitely live up to my big brother's trust! ”

"Very good, meritorious deeds and wealth, in one fell swoop!" Wu Xingde clenched his fists.

"Big brother, there is still an army of the Khitans in Heyang, if they learn of our news in advance, they will be prepared and lead the army to resist. There are only more than 1,000 of us......" Just as he was about to give the order, Wu Xingyou suddenly reminded him a little apprehensively.

Hearing this, Wu Xingde took a deep breath, his face full of firmness: "If this is the case, then only if you are born after death, I am a thousand people who dare to die, and I can be an army!" ”

The movement was very rapid, the fleet adjusted, pulled anchor and set sail, sailed into the river, and sailed up the water overnight. Wu Xingde personally led 800 strong men, and the light boat took the lead and went straight to Heyang.

Overnight, he marched to the waterway, and disembarked at Mengzhou, Heyang, and landed on the shore. It's a pity that the Heyang Festival made Cui Tingxun aware of it in advance and personally raised the army to refuse.

Wu Xingde was in battle, led the crowd to meet the attack, fought to the death outside Heyang City, outnumbered the enemy, fought for a long time, and defeated Cui Tingxun. Cui Tingxun was defeated, and Wu Xingde succeeded in taking the risk, although the loss was not small, but he was able to successfully enter Heyang City.

"Haha......" At the head of the south city of Heyang, looking at the surging water of the river not far away, Wu Xingde couldn't help laughing.

The body was full of embarrassment, the armor was still stained with blood, and the eyes were red, but Wu Xingde's spirit was a little sickly excited. He stroked the city wall with both hands very "lovingly", and vented happily for a long time before he said disdainfully: "God really helps me, if Cui Tingxun guards the city, then I am really in trouble." It's a pity, hahaha......"

Soon, Wu Xingde completely controlled Heyang City, lit the banner, gathered volunteers, strong soldiers, issued a treasury, rewarded meritorious heroes, and fortified the city. Of course, the most positive thing he did was to send his younger brother Wu Xingyou to sneak north after the situation was temporarily settled, and surrendered to Hedong to ask for assistance.

......

Time has entered the tail of mid-March, and after half a month, Liu Chengyou is in the party, vigorously fighting and training all armies. More than half of the original armies in Luzhou and Zezhou were incorporated into the Longqi Army by him, and he had the experience of fighting together before, and he integrated quickly. Of course, Liu Chengyou carefully reported to Liu Zhiyuan about the expansion of the army.

In addition to the military, Liu Chengyou also tried to sort out the political affairs of Luzhou, focusing on the matter of "removing miscellaneous taxes". Although Liu Zhiyuan has a policy, but the implementation is the most important, after some investigation, sure enough, there are prefectures and counties under Luzhou, and the governance is the same as before. Under Liu Chengyou's personal attention, the policy was implemented, of course, Liu Chengyou's methods were not tough......

On the 10th, Liu Chengyou also returned to Jinyang to report on his duties, and talked to Liu Zhiyuan in person about his judgment and views on the situation in the world. I showed it to Liu's mother, Li, to ease her worries. By the way, he stayed in the mansion for one night, and exported a ...... to his favorite concubine Geng

At the same time, Jinju's side also won it smoothly. Murong Yanzhao led the army, and approached the state city of Linfen without hurry, and approached the city with more than 1,000 cavalry. The style of play he chose, Liu Chengyou won the party that day, and it was also a combination of inside and outside.

In fact, in Linfen City, there are really a lot of people who have different hearts with Luo Conglang, after all, although the Khitan people are strong, they are thousands of miles away, and the strength of Hedong is just around the corner. And, the Khitan people, how can they be close to Hedong?

Luo Conglang saw that Murong Yanzhao had few soldiers, and led the army to attack, but on the battlefield, the general Yao Keyu led his subordinates to revolt on the battlefield, fought back, defeated Luo Conglang in a battle, and successfully took Linfen.

Linfen is down, and the rest of the counties and towns are almost spread down. There was basically no loss, and Jinju was recovered. With this feat, Murong Yanzhao completely secured his position as the commander of the Fourth Army.

In the First Battle of Linfen, Yang Ye also quickly turned over, and he took the credit for killing generals and capturing the flag. It is reported that he picked up Luo Conglang's head on the battlefield, raised his head to the sky and howled, and looked at thousands of troops, causing the Jinju army to surrender one after another.

After returning to the party, Yang Ye was directly promoted by Liu Chengyou to the head of the newly expanded second cavalry capital. In less than a month, the depreciation came back to the occasion, and Liu Chengyou personally ordered it with military merits, and Yang Ye's reputation spread throughout the entire Longqi Army.

......

Wu Xingyou went north, passed by the party, and when he posted a visit, Liu Chengyou was patrolling the party's "Yan Camp".
