Chapter 288: Counterattack

Overnight, the situation in Gaoling County changed, and Du Yuan and seven or eight big clans in the city wanted to rebel, but they were quickly suppressed. For the people in the city, it has no impact at all, but there are more good fields to distribute. But for those big families and rich families, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and a rolling thunder exploded in their ears.

Du Yuan's rebellion was not only known to the few big clans involved in the operation, but also to some wealthy households. It's just that these people don't follow the same path as everyone else. But it was because of their care that they were saved this time.

"Third child, this time it's really as you expected! That Du Yuan is a chess piece of Zhao Yan. This Zhao Yan is a good method, not only did he get rid of Du Yuan and some leaders, generals, and captains in a bright way, but also swept away those who disobeyed orders in the city. This Du Yuan is completely a chess piece in the hands of others. Lin Qing said slowly.

"By the way, third child, what do you think we should do now?"

Lin Wendao: "Father, although we didn't participate in the action last night, it doesn't mean that we will have nothing to do and be safe." ”

"What do you mean? Are they going to do it to us? Lin Qing's face changed and he said urgently.

"Since Du Yuan is their pawn, every action of Du Yuan is under their control. That means that they are equally clear about the secret letter sent by Du Yuan. Father knows what that means, right? It's a guillotine on our heads, and they're ready to take it down. Lin Wen frowned slightly and said lightly.

"We're not involved, so why do you want to do it to us?" Lin Hu said angrily.

Lin Wendao: "We learned that Du Yuan wanted to rebel, but we didn't report it, but sat back and watched, you said, if it were you, would you rest assured that there is such a person around you?" We are responsible for the family, but they are even more responsible for the Shunzhou army. ”

"This ...... This ......" Lin Hu opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.

Lin Qing let out a sigh of relief, looked at his son with satisfaction, and said, "Then you say, what should we do now?" ”

Lin Wendao: "I look at what Zhao Yan did, and his approach is: you can not use it for me, but you can't be an enemy with me, otherwise, it will be cleared." Now, we must have left a bad foundation with Zhao Yan. So, we have to turn the bad into the good. Now, the first is to give away our family's surplus land for free, and of course, it can also be given to the people in the house. Second, send the goods of the labor army, of course, you can directly send money. All of this must be done quickly, and I think it won't be long before other big families and rich families do the same. ”

"In the end, that is to let the eldest brother and the second brother join the Shunzhou Army, so that we are tied to the Shunzhou Army. Father, to put it boldly, this Zhao Yan must have something to do with the Huolin Army. I believe that in the end, it must be the Huolin Army that can dominate the northern part of Youzhou. The court is weak, and in this frontier, they need a strong army that they don't need to pay for. Lin Wen said calmly.

"That's good! Do as you say! Lin Qing said with a final word.

The rebellion in Gaoling County last night was naturally announced as a notice, and for Du Yuan and those big clans and wealthy households, none of the people in the city did not spurn them.

"Newspaper ......" Several cavalrymen with small red flags on their backs entered from the north gate. This kind of people who stick to the flag are people who have a certain task, such as leading the army or signal troops, and distinguishing tasks according to the flag, mainly so that their own people can distinguish them, so as to follow the advance, which is a very simple method, but it is very effective! And now this kind of two-pole red bird triangular red flag is used exclusively by heralds, and it is generally used for emergency reporting when there is an abnormality on the front line.

"At that time, the front-line heralds! Is there something wrong with that? Many people hurriedly got out of the way and said suspiciously.

"The front line is a great victory, completely annihilating 4,000 people from the left army of the Black Snake Army, and commanding the Lord to personally kill Zhang Jing, the general of the Black Snake Army!" As they ran, eight soldiers shouted loudly.

"The front line is a great victory, completely annihilating 4,000 people from the left army of the Black Snake Army, and commanding the Lord to personally kill Zhang Jing, the general of the Black Snake Army!"

"The front line is a great victory, completely annihilating 4,000 people from the left army of the Black Snake Army, and commanding the Lord to personally kill Zhang Jing, the general of the Black Snake Army!"

The sound of good news from the north towards the school captain's mansion spread in all directions, and the people in the city were stunned, and suddenly shouted in unison. The Black Snake Army is brutal and cruel, and the people hate it to the core. It's just that the Shunzhou army has been defeated repeatedly, which has made the people who fled to Gaoling County extremely depressed. Now, the Shunzhou army suddenly won a big victory and completely annihilated the soldiers of the opponent's army, isn't this a great joy?

"In order to celebrate the victory of the Shunzhou Army, our store is 7% off today!" A restaurant saw that there were many drinkers in the store, and he had an idea and said loudly.

"Good ......," the diners shouted.

Not only this restaurant, but also other places have begun to discount prices to celebrate.

"Good! Good! All right! This Zhao ...... Zhao Yan, there are two strikes, and the Shunzhou army can play the greatest role in his hands. Old man, it's far inferior! After receiving the news of the herald's victory, Li Yu was also overjoyed. The Shunzhou army developed in his hands and once occupied the land of two counties, but was first defeated by the hands of the Yan army, and then by the hands of the Black Snake army, so that he had the heart to protect the people, but he was unable to do it. Now, from Zhao Xun's hands, he sees the hope of the recovery of the Shunzhou Mansion.

Since being returned to the Moon Slashing Sword by Zhao Xun, Su Ziyan, who had been behind Li Yu, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news of Zhao Xun's victory.

The army returned victoriously, which was naturally welcomed by the whole city, and at the same time, it also made those large and small characters who were ready to surrender also shake in their hearts and accelerate their actions. For those who have bad intentions, it is to completely suppress the careful thoughts in their hearts. Now Zhao Yan's momentum, in the Shunzhou army, has surpassed Li Yu. It can be said that the current Zhao Yan is the protector of the people of Gaoling County.

As for the corpses of Zhang Jing and his subordinates, they were beheaded and hung on the city wall. As soon as I announced the great victory of the Shunzhou army, I also warned people that now that I, Zhao Yan, can defeat the Black Snake Army, I will not be afraid of you ghosts. On the side of Zhang Jing's head, the heads of Du Yuan and several patriarchs of the big clan were also hanging in the column. It just so happened that they added another charge, colluding with the Black Snake Army and plotting against Gaoling County.

In addition to solving some hidden dangers, what is more important is that the property obtained can make up for the loopholes in the finances of the Shunzhou Army, which is basically unable to make ends meet. What satisfied Zhao Xun was that the wealthy families in Gaoling County were much more well-behaved, which made Li Yu's governance much more convenient, and even took the initiative to cooperate.

"Lord Zhao really lives up to his reputation, no wonder he can defeat the Yan army in many battles. I, Li Yu, are now completely convinced, and I believe that the Shunzhou Army will definitely become the rescuer of Shunzhou Mansion in your hands. In the lieutenant's mansion, Li Yu said with joy on his face.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Master Li praised it falsely, speaking of which, fighting a war is not a matter of one person's life, it is the result of everyone's cooperation and efforts. In addition, this time the Black Snake Army was careless, and it was planted in my hands. In fact, it is not worth cross-liking. ”

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Such a big victory is not worth talking about, then wouldn't we be ashamed to death!" So what are Zhao's plans next? ”

Zhao Xun said slowly: "Since the Black Snake Army is full of evil deeds and has repeatedly attacked us, it is now their turn to bear our wrath. Assemble your troops first, and then go north. Now that the Qingyang Army is an ally of our Shunzhou Army, the Yan Army will not go north lightly. Therefore, the Black Snake Army is the primary target of our attack. ”

"Attacking the Black Snake Army? All right! Li Yu showed an inexplicable look in his eyes, and said with a sigh: "At the beginning of the strong Shunzhou Army in the past, it occupied the land of two counties, and now it has been taken away by the Black Snake Army. ”

"In addition to these reasons, more importantly, as long as Dingbei County is taken back from the Black Snake Army, our passage with Yanzhou Mansion will be unimpeded. With the North Wind City guarding on the flanks, Yanzhou Mansion and Shunzhou Mansion are basically connected. In this way, the deployment of logistics materials and commercial exchanges between our two places will be completely opened. The Fire Lin Army can quickly appear in the land of Shunzhou at any time. ”

After the defeat of the Black Snake Army, Zhao Xun accelerated the rectification of the Shunzhou Army, and the Black Snake Army was also shocked by the sudden power of the Shunzhou Army, and no longer provoked and harassed Gaoling County, and for a while, the lives of the people in Gaoling County gradually stabilized.

The situation in Shunzhou Mansion is changing, Yanzhou Mansion is recuperating, and Yingzhou Mansion is restoring people's livelihood, and at the same time slowly implementing the new policy. However, Wuke, the commander of the Weizhou Mansion adjacent to the Yingzhou Mansion, was obviously dissatisfied with the fact that the Huolin Army occupied the territory they had captured, and repeatedly invaded the Yingzhou Mansion, bringing a lot of losses to the people of the Yingzhou Mansion. and they relied on them as cavalrymen, and plundered them in all directions. After Zhao Xun, who reorganized the army in Shunzhou Prefecture, received a report, he ordered the Zuofu Army and the four battalions of cavalry to cooperate to attack Weizhou Mansion, and let Situ Liang, Yang Wangqing, and Zhang Yuanjing go to Yingzhou City to give advice, and also let Li Muzhi of Jizhou Mansion cooperate.

I don't know what Li Muzhi wanted, but he still agreed to Zhao Xun's request, and Li Muzhi would mobilize a large army to the south and southwest of Weizhou Mansion to force the army of Weizhou Mansion to not dare to move north.

In April of the 22nd year of Xuanwu, in more than a month, Li Chenfeng took 5,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 cavalry to successfully enter the northeast of Weizhou Prefecture, and took all the townships and towns around Yongtai County and Deyuan County, and took Yongtai County, annihilating nearly 13,000 Yan troops before and after, and capturing countless horses, including more than 4,000 war horses.

Under the planning of Situ Liang, Yang Wangqing, and Zhang Yuanjing, the sound of attacking the east and the west, the strategy of exhausting the army, and the strategy of discord were used all over again, and after taking the towns around Deyuan County, the general encirclement of Deyuan County was completed. Deyuan County is the largest county in the northeast and is at the forefront of the intersection of Weizhou, Yingzhou and Shunzhou. In order to resist the Huolin army, and in order to prepare for a counterattack at any time, Wuke, the commander of the Weizhou Mansion, once again stationed 10,000 troops, and at the same time stored a large number of materials, and the defender also had Li Deru, the brave general of the Yanya army.

However, their series of actions against the Yingzhou capital annoyed Zhao Xun, who ordered the counterattack to begin, and Yongtai County, southwest of Deyuan County, was first taken by the Huolin army, which suddenly cut off their connection with the south and the rear, resulting in the retreat route being cut off, and the reinforcements could not arrive in a short time. Therefore, Li Chenfeng can finally let go of his hands and feet and launch a general attack on this nail.

An army of 15,000 gathered outside the city, including 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers, some of which were the government army of Weizhou Prefecture and some rebels who resisted the Yan army, and were now absorbed by the Huolin army. In the rear of the army, Li Chenfeng raised his gun and pointed at the city wall of Deyuan County, waved his gun, and said in a deep voice: "Siege the city!" ”

The pennant flag in the hands of the herald standing behind Li Chenfeng kept waving, and in an instant, the endless sound of war drums suddenly turned into a fierce one, and the originally low horn sound suddenly became loud, and the Huolin sergeants who had been waiting for it began to move slowly towards Deyuan County, in unison, unified, and not fast, but every time they advanced, the murderous aura on their bodies would be a little thicker, and the murderous aura of tens of thousands of people gathered and connected, overwhelmingly pressing towards the Yan army at the head of the city.

Now all the Yan army does not treat the Huolin Army like the ordinary Yan Guofu Army, and the strength of the Huolin Army has been widely spread. Their tribe used to be the commander of Yang Li, didn't he also surrender......

On the city, Li Deru's face was a little pale, the first time he saw the momentum of an army so majestic, in comparison, although the Yan Army is also known as the world's elite soldiers, but it can only be fought in the wild, but now, in the face of the flying flame banner of the Huolin Army, one by one, they are messed up.

The officers were constantly running back and forth at the head of the city, directing the non-commissioned officers to prepare and at the same time boosting morale.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The Huolin Army marched towards Deyuan County with neat steps.

Seeing that the army of the Fire Lin Army was close to a stone's throw away, Li Deru said sharply: "Archer, draw the bow and arrow!" ”

5,000 archers walked to the side of the wall in a hurry, drew their bows and arrows, many archers were intimidated by the enemy's momentum, and they collected their swords in disorder, and many arrows shot out crookedly, flying out less than ten meters, and then fell to the ground softly. Seriously, if it were in the wild, the Evil Army would never be so weak. They are good at riding and fighting, but now they have been completely suppressed.
