Chapter 541: Jiangzhou Army Provocation
Spring is blooming, everything in the fields is beginning to recover, and everything is beginning to put on green wings.
Jiangzhou is located at the southern tip of the Han Kingdom, the temperature has gradually risen, and the guards have changed out of thick winter robes and changed into spring and autumn military uniforms.
Zhao Wu, the governor of Jiangzhou, was inspecting Shang Mountain, and pointed to the foot of Shang Mountain not far away:
"We must often send people to inspect here, this is the origin of the first Shangshan morning trip written by the prince, Gao Ran that madman has coveted Shangshan for a long time, and he has fought several times for Shangshan, and this place may be lost in our hands."
"Contact Dingxiangwei more, get more news from them, the people who do the news are the masters, they are all cultivated by the prince, don't be too angry."
Zhao Wu was wearing a crimson general's robe and black official boots, and instructed his generals to speak.
The general in charge of the defense of Shangshan nodded again and again, and in response to Zhao Wu's inquiry, he also said that his deployment of Shangshan and the recent actions of the guards in Shangshan.
A herald came quickly, and when he reached the left, he was stopped by Zhao Wu's personal soldiers, who turned over and dismounted, and handed his personal soldiers a military booklet.
The soldier took the booklet and immediately came to report it:
"Ding Xiangwei sent information, the result of the assassination of the prince, under the interrogation of Dali Temple, Li Yunji confessed, she assassinated the prince at the instigation of the maids around her, according to the investigation of Ding Xiangwei, Li Yunji's maids are Tang people, and most of those assassins are also from the Tang Kingdom."
Zhao Wu took the military affairs booklet, read it carefully, and his face was ugly:
"Gao Ran is really a madman, he has repeatedly assassinated the prince, he is on the verge of death."
The captain in the green robe next to him responded:
"Crazy Emperor Crazy Emperor, how can you be called Crazy Emperor if you are not crazy, this grandson is dead like this, Du Du, let's just fight it directly, there are bird battalions and ballista battalions, anyway, these jumping clowns are not our opponents."
After reading the military affairs booklet in his hand, Zhao Wu casually threw it to the soldiers next to him, and said:
"Pass on my military order, Shangshan is under martial law, and strictly prevent the Tang army from prying eyes."
"The military order of the Ministry of War, the Flying Bird Battalion is about to arrive, our Han Kingdom has fought for so many years, the national strength is poor, there is a big drought in Shazhou, it is really not suitable to use force again, let Xie Ruyu go this time."
The captains of the guards near Zuo were a little disappointed when they heard this, they were left here at the beginning of the Western Expedition, and the robes who participated in the Western Expedition to Qin are now all highly meritorious, and they have all become generals, and Hua Xun's grandson is now a general of Zhengsi Xuanwei, so that these envied people have become lemon essence, and all they want is to use troops against the Tang State, so as to make meritorious contributions.
Zhao Wu took the performance of these people in his eyes, and said with a sneer:
"One by one, they cheered me up, saying that it was to let Xie Ruyu go, and it also depends on Xie Ruyu's performance, the military order of the military department, all departments in Jiangzhou are ready for a big battle, and as soon as the flying bird battalion is in place, they will immediately launch a provocation against Tangshangshan Jiedu Mansion and take Tangshangshan County."
"If Xie Ruyu dares to wave his army to attack, then we will fight directly, if Xie Ruyu is willing to suffer this loss, then we will let him go."
The captains' eyes began to glow.
Zhao Wu turned his head and walked towards the city, muttering in his mouth:
"What is the Staff Office, why haven't I heard of it, damn, I actually followed the military department to issue a military order, and there were two seals on a military booklet."
The pro-soldier next to him lowered his voice and reminded him:
"A month ago, there was a document issued by the Ministry of War, the military system reform presided over by the prince, and the Ministry of War set up two new institutions, the Ordnance Office and the General Staff Office, which are under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and will be the command center of the Great War in the future."
Zhao Wu was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head, and said in a sullen tone: "It seems that there has been such a thing, you mentioned it to me at the time, I felt that this matter was nonsense, so I didn't take it to heart, I didn't expect the Staff Office to be done so quickly." ”
Half a month later, Cao Ruitong took the bird camp to Shangshan.
After receiving the news, Zhao Wu had already moved his Governor's Mansion to the garrison and stationed it in Shangshan, and the armies from all over Jiangzhou were also converging on Shangshan in a steady stream, making a posture of fighting.
The military oppression of the Tang State began when Zhao Wu received the military order from the General Staff.
Along with Cao Rui, there were also generals from the General Staff Office, headed by Su Yun and Dong Ling, who were responsible for presiding over the battle this time.
With the Flying Bird Battalion as the main force, they attacked Shangshan County of the Qin State, and made arrangements around Shangshan County, preparing for a big battle.
The Han State has fought many wars, the national strength is poor, if the battle line is extended, the household department does not agree at all, and the new household department Shangshu resolutely disagrees with the Tang State to start another war, but the prince was assassinated, and the Han State cannot but express it.
This attack on Shangshan is the bottom line discussed by the court, the Wei army broke through Shangshan County of the Tang State, if it is the Tang army, this battle allows the staff office to hold on, but it must not go deeper.
The grain reserves of the major warehouses of the household department have already begun to be insufficient, and if there is another protracted war, the household department, which is already overstretched, is afraid that it will go bankrupt.
In the Weifu of Shangshan County, Dong Ling and Zhao Wu were discussing the battle.
"The Flying Bird Battalion went out, broke through the north gate first, and gave the Tang army five days to prepare, and five days later, the ballista and the infantry army were dispatched and broke the county seat of Shangshan in one fell swoop."
"I still have to surround the point to send reinforcements, but I guess Xie Ruyu doesn't dare to come, we just defeated the British coalition army in Luojiang, and the military is in full swing, and it is unlikely that Xie Ruyu will come directly."
Zhao Wu patted the table and said: "Beat him, beat him hard, Lao Tzu won't believe it, Tang Jun is all noodles, and he won't resist when he is ridden to his face." ”
"The household department is really eventful, we are fighting, we don't use his family's food, and they also interfere in our military affairs, I really don't know what the prince thinks, and he also recognized them and agreed to just fight such a small war."
Su Yun said with a smile: "This is also to blame our staff office, the inference of the limit of Tang Guo's patience is here, if we reach Wudai, Tang Guo will definitely raise a large army, but if we capture Shangshan, Tang Guo will suffer this dumb loss, and Dingtian will send a few people over to make a noise." ”
Zhao Wu didn't believe it: "It's all ridden, Xie Ruyu can bear it, I don't believe that Gao Ran can bear it, this is the Shangshan he values, if he loses it, he can't kill Xie Ruyu." ”
Dong Ling waved his hand: "It's all to blame Zhou Shangshu, the strategic inference that our staff office showed him, why did he take it to the court, now it's okay, he was caught by the household department, and he only agreed to seize Shangshan County of Tang State, and he couldn't go any further." ”
Sky, the Bird Battalion has been dispatched.
The birds on this trip were a new type of flying birds that had been modified to carry two iron balls and two hundred crossbow arrows.
Dani and the True Elder Dao both came, and the two wanted to see if the power of this iron ball could smash the gate of Shangshan with one blow.
Cao Rui stood next to Dani, looking up at the birds heading towards the county town of Shangshan in the distance, his tone full of banter.
"There are no birds in the Tang Kingdom, and this time they will also taste the discomfort of being hit on the head by the birds."
"Lord Wang, if that iron egg really smashed the city gate, won't you birds improve?"
The true elder Dao smiled: "It is impossible not to improve, Lao Dao really wants to see how much this flying bird carries such a large iron egg, after throwing the iron egg, it will have a big impact on the flying bird." ”
"Hmph, Cao Rui, you are also from the martial arts hall, you just want to fight and fight, short-sighted, look at the little Dong Ling, now you are already a staff general of the Staff Office, your mind is ......"
