Chapter 508: Lips and Teeth Cold
Duan Rui's escape, the whole Shanxi suddenly fell into a state of anarchy, the matter came too suddenly, no one would have thought that Duan Rui would run away without a sound.
Lin Biao led an army of 10,000 to enter Taiyuan City first, and before he could pacify the people in the city and restore order. I heard that the current situation in Taiyuan also appeared in Changzhi.
And Changzhi is even more serious than Taiyuan, after all, Duan Rui only had time to empty Taiyuan. And Changzhi was unable to move his things due to time constraints, so he only cared about escaping.
Therefore, when the officers and soldiers of Changzhi heard the news of Duan Rui's escape, everyone immediately rushed and fled. In the end, it evolved into the people also joining the ranks of looting, so that the situation of Changzhi was very bad.
According to the news from his subordinates, officers and soldiers and civilians have begun to appear on the Changzhi side, and they have used knives and guns because of looting property and food, and there are many dead and wounded.
If we can't send troops to suppress it as soon as possible, if we let it evolve, there will definitely be a big riot in the end.
Lin Biao now only has 10,000 soldiers and horses on hand, and it is not enough to suppress Taiyuan City.
In desperation, Lin Biao could only ask people to go and tell Li Chengke that he would bring the matter of coming to take over the defense of Taiyuan City as soon as possible. And he first asked two lieutenants to take 5,000 soldiers and horses to quell the Changzhi Rebellion.
When Li Chengke set out on the expedition, he only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and now he has to defend Zhangjiakou and Datong City. There are still 40,000 original Datong defenders in Zhangjiakou who need to be guarded, and their hands are also tight, so there is no way to spare people to help Lin Biao.
"Damn Duan Rui, if he hadn't suddenly abandoned the city and fled, completely disrupting our plans, why would it be so urgent now." Li Chengke, who was so anxious, couldn't hold back the bitterness in his heart, and opened his mouth to scold Duan Rui.
After hearing this, Tie Ta said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't complain about that Duan Rui, if he hadn't escaped from him." Maybe we'll all have to fight a few more battles before we can stop. Compared with the life of the good sons of the Yejiabao army, this little trouble is really not a problem in my opinion. ”
Li Chengke looked at the tower very unexpectedly, and said in surprise: "You kid is enlightened, and you can actually say such a big truth!" ”
The tower replied triumphantly: "What is enlightened, I have always been wise and foolish, and I just don't like to perform!" ”
Looking at the triumphant tower, Li Cheng was very helpless, but he didn't debate with him.
The iron tower said well just now, compared to the sacrifice of the good sons of the Yejiabao army in the war, these difficulties in front of him are really nothing. If they want to mess up, let them mess up enough, and the Yejiabao army doesn't have to worry about anything at all?
After Li Chengke figured it out instantly, he immediately relaxed, and he didn't pay more attention to the chaos between Taiyuan City and Changzhi, and completely handed it over to Lin Biao to have a headache.
At most, he just sent someone to tell Lin Biao what he thought, and as for how to choose later, it was up to him.
Removing a big worry in his heart, Li Chengke was able to settle down and continue his unfinished business.
Tens of thousands of people were sent to the capital, and more than half of them could not be completed. And the 40,000 troops have not been escorted to Yejiabao for transformation.
These are all urgent tasks, and only by sending all these people away can Li Chengke spare manpower to do other things.
After thinking about it, he discussed with Tie Ta: "Why don't you go on a trip in person and escort all those surrendered troops and people back to the capital and Yejiabao at one time?" ”
Tie Ta frowned, shook his head, and said, "I came to fight, but now you want me to do something trivial to escort the surrendered army." If you don't discuss it, you can do the escort thing, and I'll stay here. ”
Li Cheng didn't have to think about it, he just shook his head and refused: "Don't even think about it, you don't know what kind of basket you will poke when you are in this temperament." In short, the matter of escorting people back this time will fall on you, if you hurry up, you may be able to catch up with the pacification and long-term rule, if it is late, you will not be able to get anything. ”
Good words and persuasion didn't work, Li Cheng could simply stiffen his face and push things to the tower.
The latter immediately sank his face, very unhappy, but in the end he didn't say anything more, and left with a huff.
In the end, the tower still did according to Li Chengke's request, and escorted the surrendered army and the people back to Yejiabao early the next morning.
As soon as these temporary burdens were gone, Li Chengke suddenly relaxed, and finally had time to care about Lin Biao's affairs.
Among the defenders of Zhangjiakou and Datong, he took out 5,000 soldiers and horses to help in Taiyuan City.
In the courtyard of Yejiabao Ye Mansion, Ye Shaolong was very bored and teasing the little white tiger, and in the past half a month, he was really very idle.
Everyone around him was busy and dizzy, but he was the only coach who had nothing to do all day. wanted to meddle in internal affairs and help Tang Feifei and them, but Ye Shaolong sadly found that he didn't seem to be good at these.
After a few backshit, he was simply left out. Originally, he was ready to stay at home and accompany his family these days, but he found that he was free, but Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao were so busy that they couldn't see anyone all day long.
Ye Shaolong began to miss those busy days, and he hesitated to go to the front line in person.
On this day, he finally waited for the tower to escort the surrendered army back, and after the two met, Ye Shaolong left a letter to Tang Feifei to inform him of his whereabouts, and then quietly rushed to Zhangjiakou City with the tower.
Suddenly seeing Ye Shaolong coming, Li Cheng was very helpless, as the commander of the Yejiabao army, he would not sit in Yejiabao to command, but came to the front line, which was suspected of dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, there is basically no war on the front line today, and most of them are usually trivial, since Ye Shaolong is here, Li Cheng is embarrassed to persuade him to go back.
After Duan Rui abandoned the city and fled, Jiangxi has now completely fallen under the control of the Yejiabao army, although there are still some unstable situations, but there is no need to be nervous.
That night, Li Chengke prepared wine and food to entertain Ye Shaolong and the iron tower, and the three of them drank until midnight before falling asleep.
The situation in Jiangxi has basically stabilized, followed by neighboring Hebei, however, Ye Shaolong means not to expand too fast, to take it step by step.
That is, we will not consider Hebei's affairs until Jiangxi is completely stabilized!
However, Feng Guozhang didn't seem to want Ye Shaolong to get his wish, no, as soon as he heard that there was a big mess happening on Changzhi's side. Moreover, the Yejiabao army was only 5,000, so he immediately moved his mind and immediately sent 20,000 troops to attack Changzhi City overnight.
