After hearing the news that the Shenwu Army suffered a defeat and lost a small centaur and had to stay in Jiyin, Zhang Dekun, who stayed in Lingchang, reacted first and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I was not dragged into the quagmire of unnecessary casualties and chaotic battles by those reckless and clumsy people who only knew how to chase personal fame and bravery, or always missed revenge and shame, otherwise they would really miss their own major events and the right path.

On the day I saw this banner again, I don't know how many people in the army were shocked or incredulous. But I remember the day when I can't look back or feel like a nightmare. After all, many people in the middle and upper echelons of the army were lifted up one after another at the end of the Luodu offensive.

They are also the current inspection guards, deployed on the east road, and the mausoleum marquis Zhang Dekun is relied on as the basic plate of prestige and influence in the army. Therefore, even if you pay a heavy price and defeat this powerful army of the Southern Army, will there be much spare strength to deal with those feudal clans who are entrenched in various parts of the Central Plains.

His original task was to recover the eastern border and drive out Hulu, and he did not have the duty and obligation to specifically attack this powerful enemy, and it was enough to deal with the truth of the DPRK and China.

It's just that although he is deployed all the way, he has formed his own faction with several armies under his command, and each has relatives and distances, and his style of acting is also very different.

In particular, this rebuilt Shenwu army is the generalissimo's mansion to select the sons and daughters of the nobles to fill its army, and there is no need to rely on the battle and not very obedient, this time I have not seen much power, but as soon as I heard about the shame and the like, I will ignore the military order of prudence and bite it like a mad dog.

Therefore, after suffering this defeat, it is not a bad thing, the previous fall of the Feixiong Army and this new defeat, it is just convenient for him to take the opportunity to disrespect the order and underestimate the enemy's arrogant victory, take the opportunity to take the fall, remove some positions, and balance the internal pattern and structure.

This is also his due position, and even the clan brother who is far away in Luodu can't single out the mistakes and dissatisfaction in name.

In contrast, now he is more troubled by the pursuit/recovery of this road, the military discipline of the various armies under his command is not repaired, and the wanton indulgence is played.

"Today, the officers and soldiers are going to rob merchants, search houses, prostitute women, and burn houses in the name of collecting grain. The small people are more afraid of the soldiers than of the thieves. ”

These Qiu Ba are certainly robbing and venting freely, but in the end, when the court needs to give an explanation, this specific notoriety and punishment inevitably fall on the head of the deployment of the capital.

He had to make a trade-off to find an alternative to the lesser of two evils, and at this time, he reported that there were local fathers and elders who came to greet the king. Zhang Dekun couldn't help but be moved.

So it wasn't long before the surviving large and small Wu forts along the way began to fall into bad luck.

After the departure of those southern troops, they couldn't wait to send people to meet the officers and troops of the Northern Dynasty, but they ushered in a catastrophe for themselves. Hordes of northern troops took the opportunity to surround and pass into the fortress where they lived, and then declared them guilty of colluding with and assisting the southern thieves and collaborating with the enemy and treason.

What, if you refuse to admit it, then why don't you resist and kill the enemy with all your might, and still be intact after the enemy's army has withdrawn, and there is not even a trace of battle?

In particular, under the designation of the so-called "local elders" with a conscience, almost no one was spared, and the corresponding leaders and others copied and beheaded the confiscated clan on the spot, and seized the opportunity to use their wealth, grain, and grass and military equipment together with Ding Zhuang.

As a result, they were disposed of one after another, and the losses in the previous pursuit battles were also made up for under the command of each army. And the officers and men in the army who have gained a little bit can't help but praise each other, and this Zhang Dushuai is wise to deal with it......

After arranging the defense line in Leize County at the junction, my home formation also returned to the territory of Yunzhou, but more than half a month has passed.

The eastern section of the Baigou of the Grand Canal - Hecai Town by the Wuzhang River, flows around the town, and the deepest Cai Creek is no more than shoulder to shoulder, which is already rolling and the voices of people are boiling.

In the scorching summer, there were few stops and gaps along the way to fight and march, and the sweat flowing on the soldiers' bodies had already been steamed and dried into layers of gray salt flowers and dirt.

Therefore, soaking in the relatively cool river water, taking the mount to wash away the dust and fatigue, this is their best rest and enjoyment.

Columns of winding columns, carrying captives and booty, and fleeing populations, continued to march eastward,

The overall result of this thousand-mile expedition is still good, although it has turned around and returned to the original point, but at least the original purpose and stopping line have been achieved.

In addition to the damaged vehicles and tired and wounded livestock, which were abandoned along the way, most of the booty obtained along the way was also brought back intact.

The dead were also well cremated and buried on site, and all the wounded were brought back safely. Because of the relative integrity of the overall system, except for those who were separated and rebuilt, the actual number of missing people is in the tens of digits.

Just to reduce the burden and create some trouble for those northern troops, a considerable part of the Fanhu prisoners that were originally captured were returned in batches. As a result, the additional labor gained this time was a little less than expected.

As the general of the general, I can soak in a large soup bucket converted from a water wheel, while slowly rubbing the soft dirt on my body, while thinking about these problems and specific gains and losses.

Due to the relative stability of Yunzhou, I can also get some reports here about the situation left behind in the rear that were transferred from Xuzhou to Songzhou.

For example, the routine notification of the follow-up collection and warehousing management of summer grain; In Xu and Yanzhou, the statistics of the newly attached household registration and the resettlement of sub-camps; the monthly production of more than a dozen large and small mines; Summary of phased operations of supply and marketing cooperatives at all levels and mobile sales vehicles; The first batch of goods and labor from the Fuso Domain had arrived a few days ago.

This is a good or normal routine report. There is also not so good news, or unexpected situations.

For example, the continuous fine days in late summer have brought signs of drought to agricultural production in Binhai, Weizhou, and Prefecture to the north, requiring more labor to dig and repair the channels that bring in water for irrigation.

In addition, because of the latest flood season of the Huai River, the Surabaya Basin, a tributary in Sizhou, caused local flooding and loss of many cities.

In addition, regarding the handling of the new local epidemic of suspected acute infectious dysentery in Michigan, as well as the first group visit of the newly established Yidu Hospital;

Another example is the herd grazing in the relatively dry and cool Menggu Valley, because of the continuous heat for several days, caused by the water and soil unadaptation, hundreds of horses died, all of which were made into canned horse meat on the spot.

In addition, there are some intimate means that involve the dark, and there is content that needs to be operated in the shadows.

Another example is the daily dynamics of Zeng Hua, the current nominal civil official in the local area, the current Huaidong political envoy, and Zeng Hua, the transit envoy to Huai, as well as the changes in the people and affairs around him.

down to the local armies, the non-commissioned commissions report on some suspicious persons and potentially unstable elements; and even the latest folk rumors and rumors in Yidu, Linyi and other places.

It represents the initial operational results of the internal and external inspection systems.

However, as of the latest letter three days ago, there is still a situation that makes people feel worried and troubled.

You know, I've already led my men and horses along the Yellow River and turned around in a big circle.

The receiving troops at the ferry on the north bank of the Huai River, which I arranged in Sizhou, together with the scouts who had infiltrated Huainan on the bank of the team, still did not see any signs of the imperial army launching an offensive.

As for Haizhou, in addition to the close relationship with the family and the Borneo Association, and the routine exchange of accompanying ships, there is still no reinforcement from crossing the sea, or other follow-up actions.

This result is very interesting, am I doing some free work this time?
