Just when Chen Xianda was running around like a wild dog in the Sizhou area, Gao Huan knocked down Yanzhou City non-stop, although the process was still tragic, and the price paid was quite painful, but it finally swept away the large and small forces in Yanzhou, and Xiahou Xiang of Southern Qingzhou had retreated to the south to the territory of Liang because he couldn't resist Murong Shaozong's attack, and he should not be able to go north to make trouble for the time being, so Murong Shaozong pacified the local people and sent troops to station in key defensive areas. led the remaining 30,000 people into Yanzhou to join Gao Huan in Yanzhou City.

Gao Huan has 70,000 or 80,000 troops in his hands now, so the question arises, whether to solve the separatist forces such as Wang Fadu in Xuzhou first, or to give priority to eliminating Chen Xianda's troops. Everyone had their own opinions and argued, and no one could convince anyone.

"You will never be able to conclude a concrete implementation plan from such discussions." Gao Huan listened to the arguments of several of their generals, and his head hurt. As the leader, Gao Huan felt that he needed to come out and make the final decision, although he didn't dare to say anything, but when his subordinates were like headless flies scurrying around, the person who took the lead must not follow the chaos, and the necessary decisions must be made by themselves.

So Gao Huan thought of this and said loudly: "Don't make any noise, listen to me quietly." Murong Shaozong, Li Erhu, Xu Mingzhi, Guan Yi and others all stopped to look at him.

"I think so, we don't know the strength of Chen Xianda's troops for the time being, but we can take them to be a regular army, and they should have strong firepower, but they are now mired in the quagmire and take care of themselves, we take this opportunity to first take care of Wang Fadu in Xuzhou and Yang Zongze in South Xuzhou, who has just risen recently, these two people will be solved first, and the people will be ready to encircle and suppress Chen Xianda."

"But what if Chen Xianda led the army back to save Wang Fadu? Then we'll be the enemy. Xu Mingzhi voiced his worries. Li Erhu scolded loudly when he heard this: "You sour and rotten literati just have a lot of faults, and if you do something to delay the fighter, then how can you destroy the enemy army." In my opinion, if Chen Xianda really dares to come to the rescue, we just set up an ambush to catch him all. ”

Li Erhu's method is indeed feasible, but the risk is quite high, Gao Huan is not very satisfied, he has his own plans, so he said: "Don't forget that Chen Xianda is still in Yingchuan." I see that Gao Yue's 50,000 people have rested enough, and it's time to pull them out and fight Chen Xianda. In case it is not safe, I will let General Heba divide a force to come out to support Gao Yue, try to hold Chen Xianda back, and buy time for us to eliminate Wang Fadu. As soon as the war in Xuzhou is over, we can close the door and beat the dog to eliminate him. ”

"Amazing, worthy of the lord, this method seems to be the most secure at present." Even Murong Shaozong didn't expect such a detail, Gao Huan was now a little more majestic in his heart. Guan Yi, this kid has now been promoted by Gao Huan to the general of the First Army, and he can also attend the meeting. He has been following Gao Huan to fight the world since he was a soldier, although he was later assigned to the command of Dao Li Erhu, but he still dreamed in his heart that one day he could return to Gao Huan's side.

At that moment, Guan Yi also said: "Big brother, no, it's the king, I want to be the vanguard officer of this attack on Wang Fadu." Fight a bloody path for you, and take the head of that dog. "This is asking Gao Huan for an opportunity, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions.

Gao Huan stared at him and said, "Guan Yi, you have been following my old man." I must have trusted you, but this vanguard officer is not trivial. Are you sure you can do it now? ”

Guan Yi heard Gao Huan's suspicion of himself, and he felt a little aggrieved at the moment, but he couldn't show it, patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, the king, if I serve as a pioneer officer, I will be the head of the king's law." If the king doesn't believe me, I can make a military order to prove my resolve! ”

"Okay, that's what you said, someone came to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Let General Guan make a military order! Gao Huan is waiting for him to say this, some people rely on their own failures to advance step by step, and some people rely on pressure to advance step by step, Guan Yi obviously belongs to the latter, in front of famous generals like He Batsheng, Murong Shaozong, and Gao Gao, he is almost insignificant, even Gao Yue, Li Erhu and other second echelons are more capable than him, but people are better at a young age, and when the old and the new are replaced in the future, he can take the lead. Gao Huan is now called taking precautions, raising big fish in the long run, and cultivating talents for himself in the future.

Guan Yi naturally didn't understand Gao Huan's good intentions, and after writing the military order, he took the silver medal of the pioneer officer and left the big tent without looking back, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Li Erhu sneered and said: "This little one is young and vigorous, and he loves to be in the limelight, and the pioneer officer doesn't even dare to ask for it like me, and his kid is going to suffer this time." ”

"Don't be sarcastic, he has been with me since he was eighteen years old, and then followed you, you should know very well how he behaves, Xiao Yi is not the kind of stunned young man, after all, he has been fighting bloodily for all these years, and it is not gossip and bragging." Gao Huan has a little opinion about Li Erhu now, feeling that he is getting bigger and bigger, but things are getting more and more cowardly, take this Yanzhou incident as an example, it stands to reason that he has no resistance all the way south from Jizhou, but he also dragged on, stopped and went and wasted a few days to arrive at the battlefield, although he fought with the bandits there in Dongping, but to deal with these rabbles are so muddy, not as clean and neat as before, which makes Gao Huan very dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have merit and hard work in guarding Jizhou, he would have been dealt with a long time ago. Gao Huan feels that he is now official, but his courage is getting smaller and smaller, has he really become greedy and afraid of death?

Li Erhu said with embarrassment: "What the king said is, I shouldn't say that about Xiaoyi, hehe." Gao Huan ignored him, turned his head to Murong Shaozong and said: "It's better for General Murong's troops not to set off with us, you'd better go ahead of time, and it's best to go from Chang to Chengxian to Wuyuan, and finally stationed in Xiapi, cut off Wang Fadu's retreat, don't let him escape." ”

"The last will be ordered!" Murong Shaozong and Gao Huan will not be commensurate with their brother-in-law and brother-in-law when they are in the barracks, which is not allowed by military level and national affairs, so under normal circumstances, both of them are commensurate with their official positions and titles, this is the attitude that superiors and subordinates should have, and because of fear of Gao Huan, Murong Shaozong's bearing of a generation of famous generals is not something that he Gao Huan can impress, at least not at present.

Gao Huan then asked Gao Zhongming to send a secret letter to Gao Yue, asking him to follow Chen Xianda's troops and wait for an opportunity. must cooperate with He Batsheng to drag them down and buy time for himself.

Then there is the news of Qingluo, according to the latest intelligence, it is shown that Nanliang's Northern Xuzhou Thorn Shi An Daoquan has deployed heavy troops in Zhongli, and it seems that he is going north to help Chen Xianda, if this news is true, it will have a great impact on Gao Huan's Xuzhou clean-up plan. I have to watch out in advance.

Wang Fadu's subordinates seemed to sense Gao Huan's dispatch of troops, and on the day of Guan's departure, he gathered all his troops and huddled in Peijun, Xiao County and Longcheng, echoing each other's horns with the warlord leader of Pengcheng, Nanliang Duliao General Xian Yupu. This Xian Yupu is a native of Liaodong, who also fled from Shandong to Yangzhou by sea, and later made great contributions to Xiao Yan in the coup d'état of Liang Wu Daiqi, so he was canonized as a nominal general of Liao, this time he followed the large army into Xuzhou of Wei as Chen Xianda's deputy, and he was mainly responsible for transporting military rations and weapons and equipment along the way. However, in the later period, after the Southern Liang court could not prepare enough military rations, he could only nest in Pengcheng all day long, doing nothing and drinking and having fun.

Xian Yupu has almost no great skills, but he has a very weird habit and likes to collect women's underwear. This is a fetish, a perversion, according to today's parlance. But because of his identity, everyone can only dare to be angry, and the first thing he did when he settled in Pengcheng was to search all the underwear of the big girl and little daughter-in-law in the city, curious.

People fight for gold and silver, grab land and pull people's heads. He doesn't spend much money on this hobby, but he is laughed at behind his back. Even the army of Liang gave him the nickname "Underwear Tai Sui". Everyone feels very embarrassed to fight with such a person, if it is not because of Chen Xianda's bravery, I am afraid that this army would have mutinied a long time ago.

Pengcheng's Liang army was only eight or nine thousand people, counting the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and the number of Wang Fadu's miscellaneous soldiers was relatively large, reaching nearly 100,000 people, who were mainly stationed in Xiao County and Longcheng in Pei County. But even with such a number, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand Gao Huan's northern iron cavalry. Wang Fadu knew very well in his heart that the gap between himself and him was not half a star, so he planned to run south to join Zhongli's An Daoquan.

However, Gao Yue's troops were cruising in the southern part of Xuzhou, and he was afraid of being surrounded and intercepted, so he could only go east and detour south. A local tyrant landlord, a local landlord, is willing to leave his ancestral property and move his family to a foreign country, what kind of courage this is, it is estimated that it is not far from the end of the game.

As for Pengcheng's Xian Yu Pu, Wang Fadu didn't take him to heart at all, in his eyes, Xian Yu Pu is a useless waste, if you really want to run for your life, you still have to rely on himself, how many people have Wang Fadu scavenged in Pei County over the years, and the rats in his granary at home are as fat as rabbits, you can imagine how much the local people hate him, but why do so many people rebel with him, the reason is very simple, people have no concept of human morality in a state of hunger, Whoever let him eat will do it with whomever he wants, and whoever doesn't let him eat will kill him, which is the same as when the common people of Henan helped the Japanese fight the Kuomintang, and those who have never been hungry cannot understand the feelings of those who do crazy things for the sake of a bite to eat.

Wang Fadu's rebellion this time was considered ruined, Chen Xianda assured him that as long as Xuzhou was successfully assigned to the Liang State, he could do Peng Chengxiang, the governor of Huaihe's Cao Yun, this is a fat gap that is making money every day, so he went bankrupt and took out all the food and property accumulated over the years to win the hearts of the people, which is why 100,000 people followed him to rebel.

In the early years, Wang Fadu was also a useless scholar, and later entered Peijun to act Li Qiu'an's family, and then put pen to work in politics and gradually rose to prominence, especially the years when Erzhu was in power was the most glorious days of his Wang Fadu's life, it was just early in Xuzhou hand and eye to the sky, as if he had become a hegemon, even the state assassin history had to look at his face to act, this kind of sourness on the gram made him want to stop, who knew that Gao Huan's sudden rise to destroy all the Erzhu clan, the new assassin always acted according to Gao Huan's intentions, This made Wang Fadu very dissatisfied, his rights were gone, and his wealth was shrinking, so he was seduced by Chen Xianda and rebelled.

But the old man Li Qiu'an is a pedantic scholar with a strong idea of loyalty to the king, and he refuses to follow Wang Fadu Hulai, so the family moved to Chen Liu, in Yuzhou, and asked his daughter to divorce him as well, so as to prevent Gao Huan's liquidation in the future from affecting the pond fish and affecting the Li family. Although this old man's ability is average, his eyesight is vicious, and he is still relatively accurate in seeing the direction of things. (To be continued.) )
