10. Throwing the edict angrily
Gao Yue then remembered that this Gao Chongwen seemed to be illiterate.
So he took the letter and said that it had been sent by His Majesty.
Everyone around listened in abruptness.
"Oops, Heshuo's army suffered a crushing defeat at Lianzheng Mountain......"
It turned out that three months ago, Li Huaiguang was ordered to lead the army to Heshuo to fight, but his troops had to pay the money before they were willing to march, Li Huaiguang felt embarrassed, so he went to Guan Junrong envoy Zhai Wenxiu and judge Gao Ying to discuss.
Gao Ying also felt that it was not possible to set off like this, the Shuofang soldiers in Changwu City in Suining were very difficult on weekdays, and many people felt that this expedition would have to fight for at least a year before they could come back, and they had to send a few dollars of equipment to their wives and children to live! If you don't even pay for the equipment, how can you go out with peace of mind, and how can you win the battle?
But the eunuch Zhai Wenxiu of the prison army was full of voice, urging Li Huaiguang to march, Zhai was resentful because Li Huaiguang did not come to the rescue when he was scolded by His Majesty's cane, and now he took the edict and scolded him in every way, saying that the two taxes in the southeast after the summer would come, and it would not be too late to supply the soldiers.
In the end, Li Huaiguang could only send troops, and 15,000 soldiers of the Changwu Army marched west in the boiling of resentment.
As a result, when they arrived in Sanyuan, Yang Huiyuan and Zhang Juji's 4,000 Shence soldiers came to join him, and as soon as the two teams met, the gap was very obvious: the Changwu army had old clothes and armor, and the men and horses were hungry, like gray livestock; The Shence Army was dressed in fine armor on the outside, lined with splendid embroidery, with salt bags and medicine bags hanging on their waists, and the packers were carrying a lot of luggage, which were full of money, cloth, salt and other good things, which were vivid.
The resentment of the Changwu army is even greater!
"I heard that the food and clothing given by this group of divine soldiers on weekdays is three times that of us, and when the Son of Heaven passed through Chang'an City, he personally inspected the royal building and doubled the reward, phew! Do you still expect us to brave white-edged arrows and fight and bleed on the battlefield? ”
"Whoever has money, go with his life!"
As a result, when they walked to Pujin and were about to cross the Yellow River into the river, the Changwu army mutinied and refused to move forward.
After the trouble, the imperial court hurriedly sent Cui Zong, the transfer envoy of Bianxi, as a grain envoy, and urgently maneuvered around to replenish a batch of grain to Li Huaiguang's Changwu army, and the other party continued to advance.
Then Li Huaiguang led the army to the boundary of Weizhou, the grain was eaten up again, and the soldiers were hungry, at this time Ma Sui and Li Baozhen led their troops to meet them, and the combined forces of Zhu Tao, Wang Wujun and Tian Yue on the opposite Shuangzheng Mountain saw this, and hurriedly sent troops to fight.
Originally, the official army had repelled the rebels, but Li Huaiguang's Changwu army saw that the rebel camp in Heshuo was full of baggage and livestock, and they all rushed up to grab it like crazy, and Li Huaiguang couldn't reprimand, causing chaos in the formation.
Li Huaiguang was afraid, so he asked Ma Sui and Li Baozhen to lead the army to respond, but Ma Sui privately said to his henchmen: "I have been out of Taiyuan last year and have fought dozens of battles with Wei Bo's rebels before Tian Yue was trapped in Wei Mansion. As soon as Li Huaiguang arrived, if he was allowed to achieve the finishing touch, I was unwilling! ”
So Ma Sui stood still.
Li Baozhen also hesitated.
At this time, Wang Wujun, who rebelled against the party, seized the fighter plane and led 2,000 cavalry to rampage Li Huaiguang's military formation, Tian Yue also led 700 Wei Boya soldiers to return to the assault with swords, and Zhu Tao followed suit, attacking from three sides - Li Huaiguang was defeated, and more than 1,000 Changwu soldiers were killed, and the corpses of people and horses who died in the Yongji Canal and Yuhe were piled up.
After returning to the camp, Li Huaiguang angrily reprimanded Ma Sui and Li Baozhen for not saving him when he saw death.
Ma Sui was weak and scared again, because of his son Ma Chang's matter, he was worried that the emperor would be held accountable every minute during this time, so he was silent in the face of Li Huaiguang's frenzy.
But Li Baozhen secretly sent a letter to Li Sheng, who had gone to Yizhou to reinforce Zhang Xiaozhong, and Li Sheng was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he sent it to the imperial court to seal the secret music, which said, "Li Huaiguang's Changwu army has no military discipline, and it is busy robbing the rebels of their baggage that leads to a fiasco." ”
In fact, Changwujun and Li Huaiguang were wronged, half-hungry, without rewards, and came thousands of miles, how could they maintain discipline in such a state and not compete for the enemy's baggage? (It's good not to rob your own people)
Just when the officials and troops were arguing, Tian Yue sent people to break the embankment of the Yongji Canal and pour it into the Wang Mang River behind the official army camp.
In the end, Ma Sui wrote a letter to Zhu Tao, because they were related, Ma Sui called Zhu Tao his cousin in his heart, and begged the two sides to stop the war, let him, Li Baozhen and Li Huaiguang go back, and after they go back, they will meet to play the Son of Heaven and pardon you, and after we leave, "Hebei Province is all over, Ren Wulang (Zhu Tao is Wulang) to take everything." ”
Zhu Tao relented for a while and let Ma Sui and others go, but Wang Wujun did not comply, so he broke out a fierce quarrel with Zhu Tao, and led the troops back to Zhending Mansion in a rage.
After the Zhulu officials and soldiers escaped, they retreated to Wei County, only to find that they had 100,000 troops to conquer Heshuo, but now they have lost nearly half of their troops, and their baggage is almost completely destroyed.
Ma Sui had no choice but to ask Li Sheng to go south in order to restore the front.
But Li Sheng was suddenly "seriously ill in bed", and his troops also stopped in Yizhou and could not go south.
Then came the total collapse: Ma Sui retreated to Taiyuan, Li Baozhen stopped at Linwei to replenish, and Li Huaiguang retreated all the way to the four prefectures of Jin, Jiang, Ci, and Xi in the river, and licked his wounds with resentment.
The emperor was furious and said that he would thoroughly investigate the responsibility.
At this time, Li Xilie rebelled, the news of the fall of Ruzhou came, and the emperor wanted to draw troops from Jingyuan and Fengxiang, and worshiped the general Ge Shuyao (the son of Ge Shuhan) of Zuolongwu as the eastern capital and Ruzhou, and asked him to rush to Dugi Province to suppress Li Xilie (the emperor did not know that Li Xilie's main force had advanced to Wuguan), and at this time, the forbidden army in Chang'an City that still had combat effectiveness had been withdrawn.
Therefore, the emperor thought of Fengtian City, so he asked the 2,000 Shence army of Gao Chongwen to build the city to also rush to the eastern capital area and join Ge Shuyao's recruitment camp.
"It's over, it's over......" Gao Yue, who learned about the cause and effect from the delivery shop, held the letter in his hand, his back was full of sweat, "This is really a salary to fight the fire, but it makes the fire burn more and more!" Then he looked at the tall fortress of Fengtian City, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thanks to my foresight, I built a city here, "Your Majesty, look at the city that Chen Gaoyue has built for you, you will definitely be very satisfied when the time comes!" ”
As a result, before he could say anything, he saw a lot of dust on the road outside the city, and a few more hand-handed shops galloped to the horse, carrying the emperor's 100,000 urgent edicts.
The emperor's micro-manipulation is really good, the first one has just arrived, and the second one has followed, which is similar to how I used to click the mouse in modern times.
Gao Yue had to open it again, and the emperor said that with my insight into the battle situation, the arrangement had changed again:
It is definitely not enough for Ge Shuyao to fight with the brave and warlike Li Xilie, I decided to appoint King Shu as the governor of Yangzhou and the envoys of Jing, Xiang, Chu, Hubei, and Jiangnan West Daojiedu, and the marshal of all the military camps and horses, forming a big shogunate, with Xiao Fu, the squire of the military department (the brother of Xiao Sheng, the deceased husband of Princess Yanguang) as the chief of the shogunate, Cui Kuan, the Hunan observation envoy, as the left Sima, Fan Ze in the Jinbu Langzhong, as the right Sima, Ge Shuyao and Li Mian as the commanders of the left and right chambers, and Liu Congyi, a member of the criminal department, as the judge of the shogunate. Jingnan Jiedu made Cao Wanggao the former army soldier and horse envoy, Shannan West Dao Jiedu made Jia Tan the Chinese army soldier and horse envoy, Jiangnan West Dao Jiedu made Zhang Boyi the rear army soldier and horse envoy, and let Jinwu General Hun Yang be the Chinese army Duyu Marquis, do you see that such a formation is majestic and talented?
Of course, King Shu tried his best to promote you in front of me.
Therefore, I ordered Gao Chongwen to be the capital of the shogunate of King Shu, and as for the third year of high school, you will be the secretary of the shogunate as a member of the Ministry of Works, and now you two will take all the troops and set off from Fengtian City, and I will wait for you to review you in Chang'an Wangchun Tower.
"Go!" Gao Yue raised his arms and involuntarily threw the edict on the ground.
