In the fourteenth year of Liyang, the third day of the sixth month

Emperor Liyang issued an order, and the former general Di Yi mobilized 50,000 soldiers of the four battalions of Beijing, 50,000 troops from various places, plus 50,000 horses from his headquarters, a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to the general pass before July.

The holy decree was issued, Di Yi quickly began to act, the fourth battalion of Beijing did not need to be taken care of by him, Emperor Liyang spoke, and his own military department and the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion sent 50,000 Beijing troops to him in a righteous manner.

And Di Yi's headquarters didn't have to worry about him, a piece of paper was sent to the camp, and the deputy general who stayed behind began to prepare the soldiers and horses, which was faster than the fourth battalion in Beijing.

The only thing that made Di Yi a little troubled was the 50,000 government army, 18 prefectures in the three states of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and each government army was almost 10,000 people, of course, this is the official number of government troops, if you count the patrols, yacha, militia, and young men under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, a government can barely muster up about 20,000 combat power.

Di Yi is transferring troops to the battlefield to fight against the Western Zhou Dynasty this time, and he must give priority to those who are the government army.

Now, the two prefectures of Nanling and Beiling have fallen, and the eleventh and eighteenth prefectures of the Northern Jin Dynasty have removed these two prefectures, and only about 160,000 government troops can be mobilized.

Among them, the Pinghu Prefecture of Gyeongju was on guard against Southern Chu and could not mobilize troops and horses, and in the same way, the two coastal prefectures also had to guard against Haikou Bandits, so Gyeongju could only transfer 30,000 government troops.

Of course, in order not to make mistakes in the local area, Di Yi definitely can't transfer all the 30,000 government troops, at least half of them will be left, which is 15,000.

…………

Gyeongju was able to transfer 10,000 troops from the five prefectures, while Jizhou, although it did not have an enemy that needed two heavy defenses like Gyeongju, but its border was more or less on the border with Ningzhou, which bordered the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Even if it is estimated that there are no surplus troops and horses from Ningzhou to attack Jizhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it cannot be unguarded.

In addition, most of the 150,000 town guards were transferred from Jizhou before, and now the defense of Jizhou is not very sufficient, even if Di Yi wants to transfer the government army, he will squeeze out 25,000 at most, which has almost drained Jizhou's troops.

Gyeongju 15,000 and Jizhou 25,000, Di Yi collected a total of 40,000 government troops, as for the remaining 10,000, he could only find a way in Yongzhou.

The six mansions of Yongzhou, the two tombs of the north and south fell, and Di Yi could not be transferred alone, and the two mansions of Guangqing and Quliang, now as the direct rear of the general pass, have a great relationship and cannot be moved lightly.

As a result, the only places where Gyeongju could mobilize the government army were Tongan and Pyongyang.

To tell the truth, Di Yi didn't want to mobilize these two government armies in his heart, Tong'an and Pingyang were almost the passes in front of Shengjing, especially Tong'an, which was almost equivalent to the gateway to the capital.

But Di Yi has no choice now, if he doesn't transfer with the Anfu army, he has to choose the lesser of the 4th Beijing Battalion and the town guard troops near Gyeonggi under his command.

General Di felt that no matter what happened to the Jingsi Battalion and the Gyeonggi garrison under his command, they could be more reliable than the government army.

Therefore, on the seventh day of the sixth month of the 14th year of Liyang, Di Yi officially sent people to Tong'an and Pingyang Prefecture General Soldiers with troop transfer documents, and ordered the two prefecture commanders to mobilize 5,000 government troops to stand by in the Cangshan area on the border of Pingyang Prefecture before June 18.

…………

Di Yi's troop transfer documents were quickly sent from the capital to the general military mansion of Tong'an Fucheng, and then from the general army to the first line of heaven in Chongshan County.

Yes, after two months, the first line of heaven has still not been taken down.

At the beginning of April, General Hong abandoned his previous suspicions and activated Yan Kui, who had been idle for a month, and then, with Yan Kui as the vanguard and the new army as the backbone, constantly attacked the first-line sky defense line, and after more than half a month, finally pushed the battle line from the mountainside to the crack "first line of heaven" that was only one zhang wide.

Then, Yan Kui also stopped cooking.

There is no way, the range of activities is only about one zhang, and some are not even one zhang, not to mention that the advantage of troops cannot be reflected, and even the martial arts of the generals cannot be displayed.

Since the end of May, the army of bandits has worked hard for more than a month, but not an inch has been achieved, and fortunately, a big war broke out on the border, and everyone paid attention to the border battle, and no one paid attention to the first line of heaven here, so Hong Guangbing was lucky to escape.

Otherwise, in normal times, you can't beat a bandit's den in half a year, even if the court doesn't order a reprimand, at least the imperial history will have to play a few copies of the general army of Shenhong.

Now, all the energy of the imperial court is focused on the anti-Zhou army of the general pass, and the first-line army of heavenly bandits who repeatedly showed their faces in the court a few months ago is now no one pays attention to it at all, and General Hong can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in disappointment.

At the same time, without the urging of the imperial court, the officers and men of the anti-bandit army faced the cracks of the "silver line" that could not be defeated by manpower, and their combat attitude became more and more coping.

From the very beginning of the one-day battle, it has slowly evolved to a two-day battle, and now it is a three-day battle, and even occasionally a five-day battle.

At present, General Hong has begun to prepare to apply for a truce to the imperial court, and then lead the troops back to the capital city.

The reason is ready-made, very sufficient, the Tong'an government army is the main bandit army to attack the first line of the sky, the city and Tong'an counties are empty, and now the Western Zhou Dynasty is the enemy, the government army should first stick to the city.

As for the suppression of bandits, they can gather troops to suppress bandits after the truce on the border in the future, or let the imperial court send people to appease Zhao'an.

…………

Mr. Hong had sent people to discuss with Mr. Yin He Ji of the Imperial Court, and felt that with this rhetoric, eighty percent of the imperial court would agree to withdraw the troops from the first line of heaven, so Mr. Hong's thoughts about fighting were getting weaker and weaker, and he was thinking about how to write to the court to stop the war recently.

And Yan Kui, the pioneer of the bandit army, saw this, and rushed back to Qingyuan to get married with a group of backbone henchmen under his command.

During this time, because of Yan Kui's bravery, Lao Hong, who had eased his relationship with him, naturally would not stop this happy event, and with a stroke of the pen, Yan Xianfeng happily went back to marry the bride, leaving Lao Hong himself with people, and the bandits on the mountain "fought" every few days.

When the subordinate officers of the General Military Mansion rushed to the camp of the first-line army of bandits with Di Yi's troop transfer order, General Hong had just "fought" with the bandits for a day, and the squad division was full of fatigue and returned to the camp.

The camp of the army of bandits, the tent of the handsome

"Di Shuai wants to transfer 5,000 troops?"

Seeing the troop transfer documents in his hand, Hong Guangbing was both happy and uncomfortable.

Happily, if his subordinates were really transferred by Di Yi to take away the 5,000 government troops, he would have a greater certainty of withdrawing the army.

And what Lao Hong is uncomfortable with is that he has been fighting on the front line for more than three months, and his men have suffered a lot of casualties in battle, and if he transfers 5,000 people to Di Yi, there are only about 2,000 people under General Hong's army.

Although he can also dispatch the militia, yacha, and patrol in the prefecture, how can the combat effectiveness of the rabble in these places compare with that of the government army.

As the chief soldier of a government, Hong Guangbing has long been accustomed to having tens of thousands of wolf-like commanders under his command, but now most of them are gone, and there are no troops to command, and Lao Hong is panicking.

But no matter how panicked Di Yi was, Di Yi's military order was here, and Hong Guangbing couldn't disobey it, so he could only find a way to pick people from the troops under his command.

…………

General Hong has a confidant, and when he saw Lao Hong's deployment of troops, he couldn't help but offer a strategy.

Yan Kui still has more than 1,000 soldiers in his hands, why not be included in the 5,000 army transferred to General Pass.

As soon as the staff reminded him, Lao Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, how could he forget Yan Kui, the more than 1,000 new troops under his command, although they are local militia groups, but they are under the rule of the General Military Government, and after careful calculation, they can also be counted as the Tong'an Army.

And more importantly, Yan Kui's new army's combat effectiveness is not weak at all, and it can fully meet the requirements of Di Yi's army's combat strength.

In addition, if Yan Kui does not leave, the general military mansion of the 5,000-strong army may not be able to suppress Yan Kui, and when the time comes, Yan Kui's existence will inevitably affect Hong Guangbing's status in Tong'an.

On the contrary, if Yan Kui and the new army under his command are transferred, then Hong Guangbing will not only retain his strength, but also squeeze out Yan Kui, a great disaster that may become a threat in the future, killing two birds with one stone.

In fact, Hong Guangbing even had the intention to transfer Yan Kui away, and then swallowed his new army himself, but then thought about it, this was too extreme, and it was easy to anger Yan Kui.

Therefore, General Hong finally chose to stop in moderation and transferred Yan Kui to General Pass with the new army.

…………

Di Yi sent the transfer document to the Tong'an General Military Mansion on the seventh day of June, and then waited for Hong Guangbing to receive the document, and then made a decision, and sent someone to inform Yan Kui, the time had reached the tenth day of June.

There are only eight days left before Di Yi's June 18 to go to Cangshan on the border of Pingyang Province to stand by.

Yan Kui calculated by himself, preparing the troops and horses, plus the time on the road, it would take about five days, that is to say, excluding these five days, the free time left for him now is less than three days.

Grandma's, he didn't get married until the sixth day of June, and his mother didn't even warm up the kang to let him go, the surname Hong is really not a son of man!

Yan Kui's teeth itched with hatred for Hong Guangbing.

To tell the truth, Yan Kui had no resistance to being transferred to the front line of the border, in fact, when he knew that a big war was going to break out in the Jin and Zhou dynasties, he had this preparation, and after knowing that the Northern Jin Dynasty had been defeated in the war and lost his troops, Yan Kui's premonition about going to the front line became stronger and stronger.

But no matter how prepared you are, no matter how much you don't resist, you can't let your newlywed Yan'er abandon her wife and go to the battlefield to fight hard.

Yan Kui took the documents sent by Hong Guangbing, his face was red and blue, and he was entangled for a long time, but in Huang Wei'er's surprised gaze, he sent someone to invite Gong Fa and Chen Xingxiao to come to the mansion to discuss the matter of sending troops.

Before he got married, Chen, Gong and others went back to Qingyuan with him, and Xu Yu, because he was about to take the township test, immediately left for the capital to prepare for the exam after participating in Yan Kui's wedding, and was not in Qingyuan.
