Chapter 314: Attacking Caozhou (continued)

It is said that a group of guards took advantage of the choke to go out to Loulan Pavilion to be chic, and somehow they got into a fight with people, and somehow they were whipped by the officials, and the angry soldiers beat the officials who whipped them, and then tied two stones to their bodies and threw them into the grass lake. After leaving Gushan Town, Mao Chengwu tried to fish people out, but was blocked by soldiers, the two sides clashed, and the mutiny began, Mao Chengwu trotted all the way home, packed up the soft and drilled out of the backyard dog hole, and escaped from Gushan Town pretending to be a trader.

The walls are high and the ponds are deep, and Gushan Town, known as the "southwest barrier" of Yunzhou, fell into the hands of a group of mutinous soldiers in the blink of an eye.

Mao Chengfei was shocked and hurriedly led his troops back to the town to press.

He had just led his troops into the territory of Chengwu County, and before he had time to take a sip of water, he suddenly heard that Liu Wu's father and son and He Sancai had captured Caozhou City, and that Caozhou Regiment had trained Zhang Xuan to protect Shi Huangji to escape from Caozhou City.

Liu Wu and his son infiltrated Caozhou City three days ago, and took advantage of the situation to rescue He Sancai when there was a prison roar in Caozhou Prison and the guards were panicking. When Huang Jilai asked Mao Chengfei for help, Liu Wu's father and son and He Sancai were already ready to attack the Assassin's Mansion.

Helplessly, Mao Chengfei came too fast, and everyone couldn't get it, but they didn't want Mao Chengfei to come and not finish the tea, but they left in a hurry, Liu Wu and his son decided to attack the Thorn Shifu immediately.

Originally, there were still 1,000 soldiers in Caozhou, and it was more than enough to garrison a Thorn History Mansion, but because of Huang Jilai's panic and Zhang Xuan's "loyal and brave" rescue, the morale was gone, and it collapsed at the first touch.

Mao Chengfei was in a dilemma, so he retired to Chengwu County.

Caozhou suffered a popular uprising, Yunzhou has not yet reacted, but Li Mao, who is far away in Hebei, has already received the news, he played the banner of Cao, Pu, Yi three prefectures to proclaim the envoy, high-profile announcement to send troops to pacify the locality, personally led the Andong army of 1,200 people, known as 10,000, with the assistance of Wei Bo's navy to cross the Yellow River, and with the assistance of Wei Bo's cavalry, only one day appeared under the city of Caozhou.

Liu Wu's father and son and He Sancai, who occupied the city, symbolically resisted for a while, and then accepted the Zhao'an of the Sanzhou Xuanfu envoy, announced that they would return to the imperial court, change their hearts and faces, and always obey the people.

Li Mao, as the Xuanfu envoy of Cao, Pu, and Yi, went to the imperial court to pardon the sins of the three people, stayed in front of the army to make meritorious contributions, and sent people to Gushan Town to Xuanfu to surrender.

The mutinous soldiers in Gushan Town, under the leadership of the young general Ma Xiong'an, accepted Li Mao's appeasement, marched out of the city, and accepted the reorganization of the Anton Army.

Ma Xiong'an is Ma Hedong's nephew, who spent a lot of money to dredge up the relationship and came to Gushan Town a few months ago, and after entering the city, he secretly contacted Li Mao's old department in the city bureau in the past, acting as Li Mao's internal response.

When Li Mao built Gushan Town, he left a lot of secret doors, so as to facilitate the officials and troops to enter the town when a coup d'état occurred in the city, this secret was only known to a few high-ranking Qing Navy Yu Hualong, Yin Mu, and Wen Cheng at that time, these people were scattered outside, and Li Shidao was separated from morality, Li Mao felt that there was an opportunity, so he set up a plan to settle Neiying in the city, use these secret roads, and send elite soldiers to attack Gushan Town.

Ma Xiong'an was sending someone to contact his uncle Ma Hedong at that time, wanting to defect to the Anton Army, Ma Hedong persuaded him to offer a meeting gift, so as to seek a high starting point in the Anton Army, Ma Xiongan volunteered to sneak into Gushan Town to do internal response.

Mao Chengfei's "unknown soldiers" almost made Li Mao's plan fall through, and the complicated calculations were completely redundant in front of the stupid people, Ma Xiong'an saw the elite going out of the city, and temporarily designed a good show in Qu Rentong's Loulan Pavilion, and played Mao Chengwu, the younger brother of Mao Chengfei who stayed in Gushan Town, in the palm of his hand, and easily attacked and occupied Gushan Town.

Huang Renfan, who acted as a striker, wanted to take Chengwu County in one go, but was stopped by Li Mao, Chengwu County is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and this burden has to be carried by Mao Chengfei for the time being.

Three days after the loss of Caozhou, Li Shidao received a report from Huang Jilai and learned that Li Mao had captured the city of Caozhou and Gushan Town, and was shocked and hurriedly ordered to dispatch the Ashina Bei Department of Lishan Town, Puzhou to the south to suppress it.

After Ashina was promoted to the envoy of the Yangdao Army, he did not go to Yunzhou to take up his post for a long time, but he appeared in Yunzhou City shortly after Li Shidao issued an order to transfer troops. Ashina was here to take up his post, claiming that he had not received an order to transfer troops.

The heavy cavalry in Lishan Town was trained by Ashinabei, and except for himself, outsiders could not command the move.

And at present, even if the Lishan soldiers are willing to accept the command, Li Shidao does not dare to move lightly, and he received another secret report that Wei Bojiedu envoy Tian Ji'an is hunting in Bozhou at the moment, and the elite soldiers of the Tianxiong army are all on the north bank of the Yellow River, with no less than 20,000 people, and Bozhou and Puzhou are only separated by a river. Once Wei Bo sees the flaws, it is difficult to ensure that this old neighbor will not come to take advantage of the fire to rob.

The Lishan soldiers who were close at hand could not be relied on, so they could only transfer troops from Yunzhou and Yizhou, and the Inner Courtyard Army stationed in Yizhou heard that they were going to fight against Liu Wu and his son, and the crowd was excited and asked for battle.

Li Shidao shook his head, Liu Wu is famous for his righteousness, and he is also famous for protecting his shortcomings, he has been governing the army for many years, how can he be so popular? It is strange that the Inner Courtyard Army is so active in asking for battle.

However, the inner court army can only send troops and horses from Yunzhou to Caozhou, this person must be wise and brave, can not only fight, but also play with the mud, otherwise he cannot regain the lost territory from Li Mao's hands.

Yunzhou is full of heavy troops, some of them are usable soldiers, and the problem now is that they can't choose suitable generals, they can't leave if they are capable and trustworthy, they can't believe in what they can do, and they don't have the ability to go away with confidence.

Like Yu Hualong, Huang Guyang, Han Qiyue, and Yang Yuanyin, any one who is in command will be sure of winning, but Li Shidao has some faith in these people.

Yu Hualong didn't say anything, as early as when Li Shigu was in power, he was labeled as "unreusable".

Huang Guyang, Han Qiyue, and Yang Yuanyin were all people who were reused by Li Shigu and now sit on the cold bench, they have resentment towards themselves, how can they be entrusted with important tasks?

In addition to these people, Li Yingtan and Huang Xiaoluan are naturally available, but the two of them, one is in charge of guarding the pro-army, and the other is the head of the three armies, Li Shidao needs them to guard the safety and suppress the three armies, and they must not be moved lightly.

The remaining rising stars such as Li Zi'an, Li Yuanzhi, and Fang Yangxian, Li Shidao wanted to use them, but these people rose too fast, and they lacked enough background in the army, and the leadership headquarters was still reluctant, and it was only difficult to lead the three armies to go on the expedition.

Don't say that Li Shidao has no bottom in his heart, but they themselves are afraid that there is no bottom in their hearts.

There is also a problem involved in this, the identity of Li Mao, Li Mao is now the dignified Liaocheng Prefecture Assassin History, Liaodong Economic Strategy Envoy and Anton Army Soldier and Horse Envoy, although he has moved the administrative office to Weizhou, but also leads the pacification envoys of Cao, Pu, and Yi.

Although the pacification envoy was sent temporarily, within this "temporary" range, his name and power were high and should not be underestimated.

Li Mao's task of pacifying Sanzhou was not completed, and a series of accidents occurred, since he did not communicate to the imperial court, the identity of the pacification envoy was still retained, anyway, the imperial court did not limit the specific time for him to pacify the place.

In Ziqing, there are too many things to pay attention to at the time of the alternation of the old and the new, and this matter is ignored, and after Li Mao erected the banner of the minister of the Qincha and led the headquarters to occupy Caozhou, the Yunzhou side realized that the situation was serious, but it was too late.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Li Mao is qualified to deal with matters related to the civil uprising that occurred in Sanzhou, and it is reasonable and legal for him to recruit Liu Wu and his sons, He Sancai, and Ma Xiong'an, and his priority is even higher than that of Li Shidao, who stayed in the Jiedu Dynasty.
