Chapter 145: Between the world, who can stop it

"What, how can this be?" Hu Tang couldn't believe it in the face of this news.

After he saw the difference between Qu Shiyun and Ding Chukui, he felt that Qu Shiyun should be better than Ding Chukui, but he never expected that the situation would still develop like this. It made him feel like he was caught off guard.

It is true that the characters of Qu Shiyun and Ding Chukui are superior and inferior. But this distinction between superior and inferior is not directly reflected on the battlefield.

However, at this moment, his heart was full of remorse, because he had received a letter from Changsha, and the letter did not say anything else, but Zhang Xuan had decided to take tens of thousands of troops and go straight to Guangzhou. Conquer the Shaowu regime first, then turn westward.

But the situation is different now.

Lin Jiading was menacing before. In Hu Tang's view, Shaowu is weak and Yongli is strong, and in the battle of Sanshui, the trend of strength and weakness has been reversed. After the victory of the Shaowu army, it surrendered and rebelled, and its power expanded rapidly. Almost in a day, tens of thousands of troops were added.

Although it is still necessary to integrate and surrender troops, the strength has far exceeded the direction of Guilin.

When Zhang Xuan attacked, he was likely to face Shaowu's tens of thousands of new victories. Although Hu Tang didn't dare to say it, Zhang Xuan couldn't beat them. But this is a serious mistake.

"No, I have to find a way to make it up right away." Hu Tang said secretly in his heart.

He immediately sent a number of scouts and hurried north. I hope to get the news to Zhang Xuan before he enters Guangdong.

But it was too late.

Zhang Xuan's army was in Chenzhou City, and under the situation of an ambush, it took one night to capture Chenzhou City.

Even in Chenzhou City, he didn't stay too long.

Before Zhang Xuan decided, he may still be in Changsha City, waiting for the completion of various preparations. However, as soon as the troops were dispatched at this moment, they immediately adhered to the attitude of the soldiers and the gods, and marched towards the city of Guangzhou with the goal of fast, faster, and faster.

Zhang Xuan had no intention of staying in Chenzhou City at all.

The generals at all levels had just entered Chenzhou City, and before many soldiers had just rested, Zhang Xuan had already called everyone over.

"Brush." With a bang, a topographic map of the mountains south of Chenzhou, northeast of Shaoguan, and northwest of Lianzhou was paved. Looking at this piece of the ground, Zheng Lian was in a trance for a while, this map was drawn by him in half a month, secretly running for more than a thousand miles, looking for I don't know how many books, and visiting I don't know how many locals, it was definitely not without mistakes, but he also did his best to Zheng Lian.

Zhang Xuan said: "When the army was dispatched, although I tried my best to keep it secret, I used all kinds of methods to mislead the enemy. But I still don't think that the enemy has been fooled, so in order to keep it secret, I give the following order. ”

"First, the order is given to you, and although the armies will send guides, where will the whole army go. The plan is not allowed to be leaked out, and no one is allowed to inquire about it, otherwise they will be summarily executed on the spot. ”

"Second, in the shelters along the way, everyone has to act with a team, and if someone is lost in each team, the captain has to take responsibility, and he has to live and die together, even if the body has to be counted. Some people say that they have fallen off the cliff, so if you don't go, you go down and fish it up for me. No one is allowed, but the living or the dead are allowed to leave the team for any reason. It really can't be done, and it is placed in shelters along the way. But the number of people must be counted, and it is not allowed to lose one, and after the army has passed, it will be transferred to the rear. ”

"Third, no one in the army is allowed to come into contact with outsiders, and from today onwards, when marching, Ma Sanbao will go first, and martial law will be imposed for the army. Requisition all roads, all the county towns and villages through which the army passes, Cheng Jikong, you are responsible for blocking it for ten days, and within ten days, no one is allowed to come out. Even if someone dies in the family, they will be buried on the spot. If anyone meets in the mountains, the army is to be kept in a shelter and placed with the wounded. Ten days after the army had passed, and then let it out. ”

"During the march, they are all engaged in military law, everyone, don't be unpredictable."

Everyone obeyed the order awe-inspiringly, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest and said, "Obey." ”

The military law formulated by Zhang Xuan has a significant feature, which is divided into peacetime law and wartime law. Most of them are beaten with military sticks, even if they are really heinous, they will be reported at several levels, at least to the level of generals, and even to the level of Zhang Xuan before they can be beheaded. Generally speaking, beating with military sticks, demotion, and dismissal from military service are already very serious.

But the law of wartime is different.

The wartime law inherited many things from the military law of the Ming Dynasty, and if we look at it from the implementation level, it can be said that the power of the officer is infinitely magnified. Even if it is only one level lower, it can be summarily executed when necessary. Of course, if a certain general really does this, when there is no war, he will definitely settle the account.

This is only at the officer level, regardless of the non-commissioned officer.

For non-commissioned officers, it is the power of almost any officer to execute a non-commissioned officer on the spot. Even after the fact, it's just a procedure.

However, generally speaking, Zhang Xuan did not emphasize the wartime law too much, and Zhang Xuan also felt that it was too cruel. But when you are fighting, you can't be ruthless. At this moment, according to Zhang Xuan's special emphasis on this point, wouldn't it make the generals' hearts awe-inspiring.

Zhang Xuan said: "Cheng Jikong. ”

Cheng Jikong said: "The end will be." You march to Yizhang for the vanguard, Pingshi. Then turn to Lianzhou, and within three days, I will be in Pingshi Town. ”

Cheng Jikong said: "Yes." ”

Cheng Jikong's department was not Zhang Xuan's troops attacking Guangdong this time, but Zhang Xuan's feint attack troops.

Pingshi Town, known as the north gate of Guangdong, the first town in Lingnan. From here, two roads split off and went south along the river. When you arrive in Lianzhou, you will go all the way to Wujiang and arrive in Shaozhou. However, in these years, it is generally used to lead to Lianzhou.

Not even the road to Lianzhou is not one. The Ming army stationed many soldiers in Chenzhou to resist the Xia army's southward advance. Between Yizhang and Pingshi, although the terrain is not flat. But it can't be too steep, it's a mountain hill.

After Cheng Jikong took Pingshi, he turned to Lianzhou. Naturally, it will make people feel that the Xia army is going south and wants to go to the Lianzhou line.

There is another benefit to going to the first line of Lianzhou. Lianzhou is between Guangzhou, although it belongs to Guangzhou, but it is actually a central position, and now Lianzhou is under the rule of Yongli.

The Guangzhou side will be relieved and rest assured of the defense of the north when it comes first. And even if Yongli senses that something is wrong, he will not communicate with him without permission.

It's a false shot.

Zhang Xuan said: "Xu Du, Deng He, Luo Dai, you are all my most powerful subordinates, today I personally led the team to go south along the Wujiang River." Assault on the city of Shaozhou. ”

"I know that on both sides of the Wujiang River, there are countless cliffs and dangerous beaches, known as Jiulong and Eighteen Beaches. Although it has been dredged into a waterway in the Tang Dynasty, it is often abandoned in later generations, not without reason. ”

"However, Huo Huqi said, Kou can go, and I can go. I'm going to say today, Kou can go, I can go, Kou can't go, I can go, Kou thinks I can't go, I can go. In the world, there is no way to stop my Zhang Xuan's footsteps. ”

"The Ming army thought that it would be difficult for us to cross the day, and they would never take this road. There was no defense along the river at all. I'm going to surprise them. ”

"Will the generals be with me?"

"I am willing to fight the world with the general." Dozens of generals, there was a feeling of blood boiling, said.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "Everyone went down to prepare, and followed in the southbound queue, Cheng Jikong was the first, Luo Dai was the second, Xu Du was the third, and Deng He was the queen. ”

"Cheng Jikong. Before you arrive at Pingshi, you are the vanguard of the army, don't lose sight. ”

Cheng Jikong took a deep breath and said, "The last general will take the order." The plan will not disappoint the general. ”

Since Cheng Jikong followed Zhang Xuan, if he had just started to have other thoughts, but now he has no other thoughts. I just want to mix up the founding title in Great Xia. This is the first time he has held such an important task under Zhang Xuan.

And at this time, Hu Tang's messenger made a detour to Lianzhou and was rushing here. But he was stopped by strict secrecy measures. The people below only carry out the order, no matter who you are, under interception, detain them for ten days first.

And so the news was stuck.
