Chapter 431: Expedition to the East and Expedition to the West
Gongzi Ban just wants to use these people to persuade the troops left behind, with their appearance, it will reduce unnecessary trouble, Gongzi Ban asked Tie Dan, starting tomorrow, set off on the west expedition to conquer all the territory west of Taoyao, for the convenience of Tie Dan to lead the northern military affairs, appointed Tie Dan as a general, you can train the prisoners into the army, after pacifying the northwest corner of Lu State, Tie Dan can build the general's mansion in the old estuary, to prevent Qingfu from the northern expedition, if you need support, immediately fly pigeons to pass the book,
Tie Dan also agreed one by one, and after that, Gongzi Ban called Liang Xin and Mrs. Liang again, and the arrangement for them was: early tomorrow morning, Liang Xin will lead 500 men and horses, escorting nearly 1,000 captives to Yu Lei, Mrs. Liang's soldiers can stay at Laohekou for two days, and they will arrange Liuxiapi to accept the defense, and finally tell Mrs. Liang: "Mrs. Liang can tell Liuxiapi that after Tiedan's westward expedition, that is, he will return to Laohekou, and the deputy general can hand over the military affairs of Laohekou to Tiedan, and the deputy general will retreat to Fuzhong." ”
Mrs. Liang nodded: "This is a good thing, you are stationed here, you are handing over the safety to us, leaving the danger to yourself, I must convey this order to the adjutant general, and you must resolutely obey it,"
After eating, Tie Dan led 1,500 people to Taoyao. The remaining unit had fled. It turned out that they only left two or three hundred people on guard. But as soon as I heard that all the troops at the front were annihilated. The troops who remained quickly fled. Where do you dare to stay? Therefore, Tie Dan and they successfully entered the Taoyao military camp, and within two hours, the prisoners arrived as scheduled.
Yu Lei's place is not small. Gongzi Ban led more than 1,000 people to this place, and the troops left behind, under the persuasion of the prisoners, the soldiers left behind also surrendered, and it was not possible if they did not surrender, and it was estimated that they did not dare to move, nor did they dare to escape. If you resist, escape is a dead end, and surrender is a broad road.
Wait until the time when you arrange to stay == go down. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Because the captives are not going fast. What to do with this group of captives for the time being? I want to wait until Fuyang and they arrive tomorrow, and the captives are willing to stay, so they will be handed over to them. Whatever they do, right? If you don't want to stay, you will be sent to Beacon Hill. This matter will have to wait, and the last city between Yulei and Beacon Hill will be recovered, and Beacon Hill will no longer be isolated.
Childe Madara knew that after recovering these areas, he had formed a situation of encirclement of Qingfu, and restoration was just around the corner.
Rested for one night. By the next day. Childe Madara estimates that Iron Egg may have a round with Thunder, and Yanagi Skin's troops should be almost there. It's possible that it's not even today. According to the situation of the rapid march of their troops. It should be in the afternoon. Leave that at that. Arrange military operations yourself first.
According to Gongzi Madara's order, Tie Dan led his troops to set off from Taoyao. It is necessary to take all the towns of about 100 miles. In these areas, Qingfu's defense is relatively weak, and the operation must be smoother, and when Tie Dan captured a city, Lei Xing also arrived. The two then divided into two routes and began their westward expedition.
Gongzi Ban also led his troops to the east, and Yu Lei's territory within a hundred miles to the east was complete. In the bag. Oh, after such a territory is taken down, it is basically connected with the north and Beacon Hill. A large area east of Bian Cheng in the Lu State is basically owned by Gongzi Ban. The area is almost half of the country of Lu. Although the territory controlled by Qing's father is half. But it doesn't actually control that much. And what about the minister's own domain?
At this time, Qing's father's financial income will be much less than before, almost 60%. His management was relatively weakened. In the current situation, of course, he does not see his economic power. Cut in half. When he said that he would harvest it again this year, he knew that he couldn't afford to collect those turtle foods, and he knew that he was having a hard time.
As for the tax revenue of a large area, it is owned by Childe Madara. If this is the case, it will not be a problem for Childe Madara to develop an army of more than 100,000 people. It is not a problem to raise another 70,000 or 80,000 troops on the side of Xu State. So that the total number of his troops could be expanded to 20 tens of thousands. There is capital to attack cities and seize land. Qing's father will inevitably step down, and it cannot be reversed,
Let's not talk about it. How effective is the Iron Egg Expedition? Gongziban has already made arrangements for his troops and issued an order to Wei Chengming: promote Wei Chengming to be a partial general, and the day before yesterday he had ordered to lead the army in Xu State to attack the flood, and the owner of Lan Zhuang is still the general Zhenyuan to lead the blue-collar soldiers to attack Xue Cheng, and report the war situation quickly, there must be no mistake.
The second order is for those with large firing power, "Promote the firing power to a biased general, and report the battle situation quickly,"
The order of the three generals was given yesterday, but they did not receive news for a day, and they were very anxious, what was the situation of the battle?
The crusade reached 100 miles. It's almost to the area of Beacon Hill. You can control the people in this area within your own jurisdiction. The temporary situation is that the number of troops has not yet caught up. It is not a small problem to attack but not be guarded, if there is a certain number of troops, this will definitely be no problem. It just takes a little time,
Therefore, Childe Madara's intention is that as long as the original old officials have no major problems and are not desperate to follow Qing's father, they can be used. Use them to be responsible for the security of the area. Naturally, it's more convenient than sending troops again. Much stronger than they must be. Therefore, the cities captured by Childe Madara have made some specific arrangements.
The generation to the west of the old estuary, Gongzi Ban did not arrange. Princess Madara means to hand over this generation of areas to Lord Liang to manage. You just let him rest assured that his place has not shrunk. Ah, it can be expanded. Lord Liang, of course, will be happy in his heart, and he will definitely be able to follow Gongzi Madara with all his heart. Otherwise. Who can be so loving and not destroy heaven and earth for his own sake. If there is no benefit, who will not work so hard?
When the company spotted arrived at Yu Leidong. Because the city was only guarded by more than 1,000 troops. Without much effort, it was conquered, and some other small places were basically self-defeating. Some began to flee, and some raised their hands in surrender. It didn't take much effort.
Gongzi Ban continued to lead the army to the east, and after walking sixty or seventy miles, he came across a city again. This city is called Shangyu, which is a relatively large and important city, and the defenders also have more than 2,000 people. After more than an hour of fierce fighting. Childe Madara successfully took the city. Just taken, the adjutant general rushed to the ······ with his troops
