Chapter 358: Setting Yourself on Fire
Yu Dechen is Yu Que's son, only nineteen years old, and it can be regarded as a concealment of his father's official reputation in Anqing, and now he has become the prefect of Anqing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yu Dechen's relationship with Hao Ren is more delicate, and his loyalty to Hao Ren has been deep-rooted since he was a teenager.
When Hao Ren captured Luzhou, he captured all the family members of Yu Que, the family was loyal to Meng Yuan, and wanted to jump into the well to die, Hao Ren couldn't bear to see the old and weak women and children so miserable, but on the grounds of escorting Yu Que's family to Anqing, check the situation all the way, and prepare for the capture of Anqing in the future.
And this Yu Dechen followed Hao Ren all the way from Luzhou to Anqing, and as a hostage, he was brought back to Luzhou by Hao Ren from Anqing, at that time, Hao Ren didn't know much about traditional Chinese characters, and a copy of "The Art of War" didn't know how many times this teenager joined the army and read it on the pillow, the age gap between the two was not too big, Yu Que was obsessed with officialdom and had no time to take care of his family, Yu Dechen grew up in a pile of women, and he came and went, but he was in love with Hao Ren, a red scarf thief chief like a brother and a father.
At the beginning of the Great War and the state, the battlefield situation was stalemate, Yu Dechen was a young scholar with a weak letter, carrying a three-foot sword, and personally commanding more than a dozen retinues and scribes to go to the battlefield to support Hao Ren, Hao Ren was expected to be defeated at that time, so that Yu Dechen and Liu Bowen's newly attached people fled for their lives, which further deepened Yu Dechen's respect for him.
When Hao Rendong attacked Yangzhou, he was afraid that Yu Dechen would not be able to contain Yu Que in the army that died in battle, so he left Yu Dechen to engage in rice hybrid breeding in Shouzhou, and because Yu Dechen won the hearts of the people in Anqing, when the Qingfeng army won Anqing, Hao Ren transferred Yu Dechen to Anqing in order to facilitate the rule of Anqing, and served as the prefect of Anqing.
However, the military and political power of Anqing is actually in the hands of Shi Nai'an and Zhang Poyu, and Yu Dechen is just holding his father's prestige and serving as a vase to reassure the people of Anqing.
And now, Shi Nai'an served as the secretary of the Great Song Dynasty Criminal Department and merged into the cabinet, and Zhang Poyu went to Jiangnan with him, this former vase, but became the real first chief official of Anqing.
"Uncle Thirteen is trapped in Jiangnan, there are many dangers, Anqing City is the closest to the place where Uncle Thirteen was besieged, we should send out the garrison army and the reclamation army in the city to go to Hukou to rescue Uncle Thirteen!" Yu Dechen's mansion in Anqing anxiously discussed with Yiying's subordinates.
Anqing garrison Hu Pojun hugged his fists and said: "All the soldiers in the city have been taken away by the broken general, and now there are only 7,000 garrisons in the city. ”
"Hey, Brother Hu," Yu Dechen was young after all, and he was more pessimistic about the battle situation, so he patted his chair helplessly and said: "If the thirteenth uncle defeats the siege, everything will be fine, if the thirteenth uncle is in trouble, we will defend this Anqing City, what is the use?" (Yu Dechen has always been called Uncle Hao Ren, and he is called Hao Ren's brother and brother)
"The boss fights, there has always been a backhand, now although the old war is unfavorable, the army is camped against the shore of the lake, the enemy is strong, and our army is strong, Chen Youliang can break our army at best, and the Great Song Dynasty still has a chance to turn defeat into victory."
After all, Hu Pojun is an early brother from Mujiazhai, following Hao Ren for a long time, Hao Ren was surrounded, although he was anxious, but he also felt that the boss was not easy to defeat, and said: "Anqing is the throat town in the west of the lock, Chen Youliang has coveted it for a long time, and now the main force of the Great Song Dynasty is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Youliang will inevitably divide his troops to capture Anqing, if Anqing is lost, not only the door of the capital Luzhou is wide open, but the right wing of the boss in the Jiangnan camp has also leaked out, and the boss is in danger!" We should gather the reclamation troops to assemble in Anqing to prevent Chen Youliang from taking the opportunity to attack the city, ensure that Anqing City is foolproof, and protect the safety of the right flank of the Jiangnan camp. ”
Yu Dechen is just younger and inexperienced, Hao Ren's army is in decline, and he is in a hurry for a while.
"Don't miss the agricultural time, first send one-third of the reclamation troops into the city to assist in defense, if the enemy really comes to attack Anqing, there are still chariots and soldiers in Luzhou who can be rescued!" Yu Dechen said.
The prefect of Anqing and the garrison of Anqing have just jointly drafted a document for recruiting soldiers, which was sent down by a fast horse, but the news of Chen Youliang's army attacking was also sent to the prefect's office.
"Report!" The sentinel galloped in and said: "Lord Prefect, the enemy general Miao Mei led an army of 50,000 to cross the river, the vanguard has captured Susong, and the army will soon enter the city of Anqing, please prepare as soon as possible!" ”
"The order is that the first batch of conscripted reclamation soldiers do not have to come to Anqing to converge, immediately reinforce the Jiangxinzhou Fort, and the rest of the reclamation soldiers will all give up farm work and enter Anqing City to assist in defense! Ordered 800 miles to hurry, and rushed to Luzhou to report to the cabinet lord Liao Yongan, and asked Luzhou to increase troops to rescue Anqing! Yu Dechen was reminded by Hu Pojun that he already knew in his heart, and when he heard that the enemy was attacking, he did not seem panicked.
Not only Anqing City cannot be lost, but even the Jiangxinzhou Fort outside Anqing City cannot be lost.
Once Jiangxinzhou is lost, the enemy can break through the defense line of the Qingfeng army in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, threaten the cities on both sides of the Great Song River downward, and also climb the south bank of the Yangtze River to directly cut off the rear road of the army at the mouth of Haoren Lake.
Jiangxinzhou crosses the Yangtze River, both sides are waterways, and Anqing City is each other's horns, the artillery on Jiangxinzhou can block the Yangtze River waterway on both sides, strategic significance and great importance.
Garrisoned in Jiangxinzhou are three thousand households of Wu Liuqi's Jiang Defense Army (at the beginning of the establishment of the Jiang Defense Army, there was already a custom, and the defenders here were mainly defensive), and one thousand households with firearms, led by Liu Poguo, who was tens of thousands of households.
Just when the reclamation troops reinforcing Jiangxinzhou crossed the river and landed on the continent, Miao Mei's naval army covered the sky and the sun and went down the river, and the two armies did not try, and directly entered the white-hot bloody battle.
For a time, the shells were flying sideways, the smoke was billowing out, and at this time, a trumpet sounded in the south of the Yangtze River, and the soldiers Li Zongke sent by Hao Ren to reinforce Jiang Xinzhou had also been killed, and a fierce and unprecedented battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Han Dynasty had started in an all-round way.
The South Route Army often met Chun and Deng Yu in Raozhou, and Wu Liujiu, Zhang Tianyou, and Yang Biao fought in Xinzhou on the North Road, and both armies were storming Chen Youliang's city.
However, Hao Ren personally commanded the middle route army, but because the enemy was too strong, the offensive battle was turned into a defensive battle, and the battlefield was opened in three places, all in the land of the Great Song Dynasty.
A battlefield in Anqing City was fought by Yu Dechen and Hu Pojun against Miao Mei's infantry, and a battlefield in Jiangxinzhou was fought by Liu Poguo and Li Zongke against Miao Mei's naval army. At the mouth of the lake, Hao Ren's main force played against Chen Youliang's main force.
Moreover, the disadvantages of the middle route army were obvious, not only was the battlefield listed on its own borders, but the number of warships and armor in the local area was far more than its own, and the loss of Susong County along the river, and the delay of the agricultural time of the Anqing reclamation army, all made Hao Ren feel annoyed.
What made Hao Ren even more annoyed was that Chen Youliang's building ships formed a dense camp, which was surrounded in the deep water outside the Hukou military camp, and the Han soldiers on the deck arranged unsightly words, shouting and scolding in unison.
Not to mention that Hao Ren is now the emperor, he is a flat-headed common man, and he is scolded by strong neighbors blocking the door, which is also an extremely embarrassing thing.
