Chapter 368: Rekindling
During this period, the largest military operation was that I personally led a team to escort the prisoners of the Northern Army and the captured cane flags, and paraded around the territory of Xuzhou to set the record straight.
With the empirical evidence we have seen, all kinds of unfavorable rumors and extraordinary theories about the collapse of the front line have naturally disappeared.
Then he went to Pengcheng to report on his work, and was cordially received by the five envoys who supported the daily life, although the attitudes were slightly similar and different, but they all showed enough envelopment and fancie.
Of course, I can still roughly distinguish the distance between relatives and relatives, and then make a courtesy visit or express substantial gratitude.
At least on the bright side, the one who is most happy to see it happen is undoubtedly the Li envoy who is in charge of the affairs of the north;
Secondly, Zhu Envoy, who was in charge of the South Road in the same class, patrolled, transported, and requisitioned in the rear, couldn't see it at all, and I cut off his own nephew's mustard and heart knot in front of the battle.
is just a euphemism to say that although the Zhu family is not comparable to such a noble family as the family of five veins and eight leaves, it is also the queen of the eunuch family with some inheritance in the dynasty, except for such a disobedient and disrespectful descendant, it is inevitable that the family will be humiliated.
Therefore, I have to put down my old face and ask me if I can give a more tactful and round-robust death method and explanation in the introduction to rewards and punishments afterwards, such as letting him die in a more dignified way, instead of a rather disgraceful death in front of the military law directly executed by the main general.
The whole family should bear this feeling. This kind of practical and effortless effort, I should be happy to obey my fate.
Of course, what the big man really has in mind is another matter, and I have to keep an eye on it, but at least the current situation is mutually beneficial to both sides, so it is worth continuing to maintain.
Then, it is the consultation and exchange of various details, such as emphasizing the role of superior leaders in the report, helping Li Yuanjun and Zhu Yuanjun to get more voice rights and opportunities to show their faces.
Although my own ministry has not been promoted for the time being, this is not because of the stinginess or neglect of the front-line military officers, but because when I have reached the level of meritorious service, I have to petition the rear base camp before I have the right to make a decision.
However, when I returned, it could be said that I had returned with a large number of soldiers, equipment, supplies, and substantial gains in official positions, as well as various long-term and short-term promises.
But the biggest gain is a re-understanding of one's own value and position.
Although my subordinates and I are still a chess piece in the world of the dynasty, it is at least an important chess piece that attracts attention and is worthy of their ability to put down their positions and fight for it.
When a chess piece has enough importance and value, it will be more prudent and meticulous to use, and it is less likely to be sacrificed casually in the name of "taking into account the overall situation" in the overall consideration of those who are in high positions and mixed with selfishness and position.
However, my momentary idleness and complacency soon vanished, because the first wave of messengers sent by Liu Yanqing, who was officially assigned to my name, was to ask for help.
Compared with the Yunzhou I raided, and along the way along Jishui, there was a thrilling turn to the Quartet, and finally a hard-fought battle was won as the end, and then entered the paddling stage.
Liu Yanqing's rear army, which was responsible for attacking Cao and Pu's front line, did not have this kind of good luck, although his strength on the books was still stronger than mine.
But all the people they encountered along the way were hard bones, and all kinds of local armed forces that aroused the same hatred and hatred because of the Bianzhou massacre and angrily resisted to the end.
If this is the case, forget it, he has enough scale advantage to push hard all the way, but after he took Puyang, the seat of Puzhou, the situation suddenly turned sharply.
Especially after encountering the Hebei soldiers who suddenly landed in a big way, his troops were really beaten miserably during this time.
His main force almost collided head-on, and these Hebei troops, who had just gained a foothold after crossing the river, fought a fierce battle under the fatigue of their respective divisions.
Although Liu Bu still had a slight upper hand, they were neither able to defeat the enemy on the opposite side, nor were they able to severely damage the opponent's living forces, so after only one night, the balance of power changed sharply.
Then Liu Yanqing was a little surprised to find that his troops had been caught in the territory of Puzhou, these northern troops who had crossed the river, and the local Haoqiang and Tutuan who had swarmed in the rear of Caozhou.
In the following days, although the rear forward took the initiative to alternately cover the advance and retreat, it was still inevitable to meet the enemy almost everywhere, and all kinds of chaotic battles were scorched, and they could only instinctively move closer to the friendly forces of the nearest part.
In the end, under the support of Cui Bangbi, the third battalion from Leize County, who was armed and swept for dozens of miles, took the rest of the troops and retreated to Yunzhou to gain a firm foothold.
Re-put away the old department, but found that all kinds of equipment and equipment were also lost, and many people were lightly armed, or even ran back with bare hands. Thanks to the captured equipment I left behind, I was able to rearm properly and not let the troops fall apart.
Then, the right wing of the new army, which was in charge of the recourse, also sent someone back to report the news that at least two northern armies had met in Caozhou, west of Yunzhou,
So, I was at the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and my short rest was over. The whole army raised troops to the west, searching for and striking at the frontier army in Xuzhou, and the Hebei army between the frontier army and the frontier army......
The siege under the city of Bianzhou has been lifted, but in the vast area near Bianzhou, there are fierce battles.
In fact, in addition to the decisive battle on the shore of Weishan Lake, another larger-scale offensive and defensive tug-of-war, surrounding the heart of the Northern Dynasties, with the intertwined Xuzhou-Bianzhou line as the battle zone, had already been fought a few days ago.
When Yang Keshi, the envoy of the brave army from Hedong, arrived at the front line with the newly recruited and replenished Luyang soldiers, he saw that his river defense troops could not stop the enemy's brave attack and were withdrawing one after another.
Liu Zhengyan, the commander of the Heying Cao Army, who was facing the front line, personally led his troops in the siege on three sides, also resisting on one side and retreating on the other.
Several bridges on Bian Water have long been burned down, although this section of the river is wide, and the middle stream is three or four zhang deep, and it is difficult for people and horses to cross and cross.
However, the southern army that couldn't stand along the river was too numerous, and it was just a matter of throwing soil into the river, and then taking a boat, so as to create more temporary passages.
Moreover, they also have a large number of divine machine troops to suppress the formation, and they can easily project all kinds of firearms to the other side.
In the lower reaches of Bian Shui, more Liang troops successfully crossed the river, and some of them had already crossed the river on rafts, bamboo rafts, and boats to expel and kill the Song troops along the river.
There are also some southern soldiers who occupy a city of Qiaotou and are consolidating and expanding their positions. Other southern soldiers tied up rafts and fixed them on a diagonal line that followed the flow from northwest to southeast, and built a pontoon bridge.
All these actions were very compact, and even before the pontoon bridge was fully built, the Liang army of the brigade had already used it to run and jump and cross the south bank crookedly.
As soon as the soles of their boots landed, they pounced into battle like tigers out of the river, and for a time on the west and north banks of the Bian River, thousands of men and horses were gathered, forming a black oppressive patch, and they were trying their best to rush over.
Yang Keshi ordered the horse team in his army to move forward, led by his younger brother Yang Kesheng, and launched a surprise attack on those southern soldiers entrenched in Qiaotou City, preventing them from further expanding in depth.
Then ordered the rear team to rearrange and build a defensive line far away from the threat of firearms on the opposite bank of the river, and then Yang Keshi neither went to greet the defeated soldiers, nor did he go to rescue Liu Zhengyan who was surrounded by the enemy.
Rather, he urged the mount without thinking. Wielding a long spear, he rushed straight to the enemy bushes on the edge of Qiaotou City.
He didn't even say hello to his generals and his own soldiers, because he believed that at this critical juncture, the will of the commander was the order of the whole army, and what his commander saw became the direction of the whole army's assault. Wherever he himself rushed, the whole army would follow him and charge and fight with him.
I saw him rushing into the enemy formation like a cloud, and the dirt and dust kicked up by the horse's hooves obscured his vision and that of Liang Jun. They seemed to be separated by a barrier of dust and mist, and before he could see each other's true faces, four or five spear tips were already reaching him together.
He struggled with a little gun, and he struck all these spearheads away, only to hear two "g-bang" sounds, two spear tips broken in unison, and one of them also flew out of his hand because of the heavy pressure, and then there was a pop, a heavy cracking and crashing sound.
Only then did he see those dusty southern soldiers, holding half of the spear shafts in a panic, or with their empty hands, all turning their heads and running away.
Yang Keshi took advantage of the momentum to catch up, and Wu Ge and Gao Shixuan would closely guard his left and right sides. Gao Shixuan wielded a long knife, and as soon as he had the opportunity, he freed his hand
