On December 11, Zhao Hu led the elite of the White Tiger Battalion to successfully defeat the resistance of a small force of more than 1,000 people, this small force led by the Nanpi County Commander and the Nanpi County Lieutenant, carried out a relatively brave resistance, but in front of the elite led by Zhao Hu, they were as fragile as a chick.

Effortlessly solved this small force, Nanpi County was immediately taken, Cangzhou was close at hand, and in these places, the use of cavalry began to be highlighted, and the wolf warrior was ordered to lead 10,000 iron cavalry to follow Zhao Hu to attack Cangzhou to open the way for the army.

Zhao Hu and Luo Rong encountered relatively stubborn resistance in Cangzhou, and the resistance army of about 10,000 people launched a counter-charge against Zhao Hu's troops under the banner of crusade against rebellion.

Of course, the result was very miserable, the person who led the troops was obviously a rookie, and he actually launched a charge in the face of the cavalry, and was defeated by Luo Rong leading the cavalry to rush and kill.

This kind of rookie team really couldn't make Luo Rong happy, and after about two or three battles of incense, they were defeated, and after a thousand miles, Zhao Hu and Luo Rong rushed to Cangzhou to try to break the city.

On December 13, Cangzhou's simple resistance was directly broken, and there was no way to fight back, the Cangzhou prefect was killed in battle, and the county commander led people to fight in the streets, and was soon killed, and Cangzhou was pacified.

Then came Xingji, on December 14, just one day after Cangzhou was breached, Xingji County ordered to abandon the city and flee, Xingji went down without a fight, on December 15, Qingxian County ordered to abandon the city and flee, and the defender opened the city to surrender, and Qingxian went down without a fight.

Since Jinghai had been taken by Jiang Dahai in advance, there was no longer a force from Qingxian to Jinghai that could resist the advance of the army.

The situation is irreversible.

As early as when the army gathered in Dezhou to discuss the next strategy, Xiao Ruxun ordered the army to attack the Beijing division in two ways, and the army was led by Yuan Huang along the original canal route to the Tianjin Wei Huijiang and the sea of the water division, and then marched from Tianjin Wei to the Beijing Division, while the other main army was personally led by Xiao Ruxun to take the route of Hejian Mansion, Baoding Mansion, Zhuozhou and then to the Beijing Division, forming a two-way flanking situation.

At the same time, Xiao Ruxun had already sent people to Liaodong to meet Li Chengliang and Li Rusong and his son, and invited them to send troops into the customs to "hunt" the Beijing division together.

If these two fathers and sons know each other a little, Xiao Ruxun will consider letting Li Rusong go out to other regions to lead troops, Li Chengliang will retire in Beijing, and Liaodong will be under the full management of the central government.

The importance of Liaodong to Daming is self-evident, and the importance to future generations of China is also self-evident, the black land of white mountains and black water, sorghum rice, rich resources, although the weather is a little colder, it will not play its due role in the Xiaoice River period, but in the foreseeable time in the future, the land of Liaodong will play a very important role.

Like the southeast coast, it is also land that must be mastered.

If Sakhalin Island is occupied, it can even threaten Japan's Hokkaido from the north, and together with North Korea, form a two-way flank attack and lock Japan down.

The future is very important.

On December 15, at the same time that Qingxian County was breached, Xiao Ruxun led the army to break through Jingzhou, Fucheng, Jiaohe, and Xianxian, and directly took Hejian Mansion, and the prefect of Hejian Prefecture surrendered the city under the persuasion of Ye Mengxiong, and joined the crusade camp instead.

Then, Xiao Ruxun led the army to advance towards Gaoyang.

All the way unimpeded.

And on the day that Hejian Fu and Qingxian were taken, 10,000 troops from Datong entered the Beijing Division under the leadership of Fang Shoushi.

After all, Fang Shoushi still led the army to the Beijing Division, which was the first army and the only army that came by the edict, and the time after receiving the edict was not enough, and it was enough to come in such a short time, which was enough to see Fang Shoushi's loyalty to the imperial court, Shen has always been moved not lightly, and personally went out of the city to meet the Fang Shoushi who was sent to Datong by him.

By the way, half a year ago, Fang Shoushi was hated by Shen Consistent because he wrote a letter to admonish Shen Consistent not to do things that are painful to relatives and enemies, and even sealed his political future, planning to let Fang Shoushi die in the bitter cold of Datong and not come back, but now, the only one who led the army to Beijing to support the division was Fang Shoushi's army.

How could Shen always not be moved?

"Shengfu! Shengfu! The old man is looking forward to you! The old man is looking forward to you, but he wants to wear it! ”

Shen Cheng held the hand of the Fang Shou tightly, his eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

The Fang Shou sighed.

"Shoulder, why is it here?"

Shen always gritted his teeth and hated: "The traitor Xiao Ruxun is bold and has rebelled, although he has an advantage at the moment, but the old man is not completely helpless, with Shengfu leading an army of 10,000 to help, the old man is sure to defeat the thief army in Tianjin in one fell swoop, and then concentrate the main force to go south to fight to the death with the main force of Xiao Thief!" Kill the thieves and calm the world! ”

Shen Zheng's face turned red and his tone was strong, and those who didn't know the situation would really think that he could win.

"Shoulder, Xiao Jixin has already hit Tianjin Wei?"

The Fang Shou heard a different sentence, and the focus was completely different.

Shen's expression was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Shengfu, you don't have to worry, the old man has already prepared for this matter, the one who came to Tianjin Wei is only a partial division of Xiao Thief, the number is only 20,000, and the old man still has 40,000 elite soldiers in his hands, counting 10,000 Shengfu, the old man can completely eliminate Xiao Thief's partial division, and then go all out to deal with Xiao Thief's main force!"

The Fang Shou sighed.

"Shoulder, if you follow my letters, why did you come to this?"

Shen Yi's face changed, his hand shook, leaned less, and said slowly: "It's really a helpless thing, if it's not me for the knife and the fish, or the knife and I for the fish, choose one of the two, if it's a promotion, how to choose?" ”

This is the truth, Shen has always not lied, Fang Shoushi does not know the inside story, Shen has always not planned to say more, and can only sigh, and then said: "This army is a border army, slightly stronger than the Beijing battalion soldiers, willing to defend a city wall for me, the responsibility of the Ming courtiers." ”

Shen has always been overjoyed.

"There is a promotion, I don't have to worry!"

Then he handed over the task of guarding the eastern city to Fang Shoushi, and allowed Fang Shoushi to command the Datong soldiers he brought.

On the morning of December 17, Yuan Huang arrived at Jinghai with Zhao Hu and Luo Rong, and met with Jiang Dahai's headquarters, Jiang Dahai led people to meet them in Jinghai, and the two armies merged into one and obeyed Yuan Huang's command together.

"At present, the surrounding area of Tianjin Wei has been fully mastered by our army, Wuqing and Tongzhou have troops stationed, the army stationed in Wuqing is 20,000 elite soldiers of Gansu General Soldier Dayun, which is more difficult to deal with, Tongzhou has another 10,000 Gansu soldiers and 10,000 Beijing battalion soldiers, it is relatively easy to deal with, Yuan Gong, what do you think?"

Jiang Dahai explained the current situation.

"Of course, we must take Wuqing and Tongzhou as soon as possible, it is already winter, and the cost of marching and fighting is too high, so it is good to end this war as soon as possible, have the Gansu commanders Dayun and Shen always been of the same mind? Is it possible to persuade you to surrender? ”

Yuan Huang asked.
