Chapter 133: The Turmoil of the He Clan (15)

After Nanxinkou and Pangu Fort were ordered to retreat, the soldiers guarding the fort were relieved. On the same day, he burned down the arsenal and warehouse in the fort and went north to cross the river and retreat into Fuzhou.

After the red glow in the west, the Jinzhou soldiers led by He Shibao entered and occupied the empty fort of Pangu Fort. After entering the fort, He Shibao immediately sent Jinzhou soldiers to extinguish the fire in the fort.

After the fire was extinguished, both warehouses were burned to the ground, leaving only the ashes of the wreckage, and the remaining military supplies in the treasury were burned in the fire and turned into a scorched earth. The air still smells of burnt wood.

Fortunately, He Shibao came quickly and extinguished the fire in time, and the fire did not spread to other buildings in Pangu Fort. It's just that a few courtyards built around the two kufu were partially burned down, and the rest of the buildings were intact. Tonight, the vanguard of the Lion Leopard can temporarily be stationed at Fort Pangu.

As He Fangxiong expected, He Shibao went all the way north without receiving any decent resistance, and He Fangxiong gave up the two military forts of Nanxinkou and Pangu Fort. He Shibao thought that Fuzhou was intimidated by his troops, and did not dare to resist his strong generals in Jinzhou. It further stimulated the expansion of He Lion Leopard's ambitions.

The Lion Leopard army advanced too fast, and the two newly occupied military forts had been burned down. The Jinzhou army could not get supplies on the spot, and the follow-up supplies could not keep up, so He Shihu could only wait for the follow-up baggage troops to send the supplies to the front line, and once the supplies arrived, he could safely cross the last natural barrier in Fuzhou-the Shahe River. After crossing the Sand River, he can directly surround Fuzhou!

The civil strife of the He nationality caused a chain reaction in the linkage, affecting the major forces in Liaodong.

Several major forces in Liaodong are ready to move, wanting to get a piece of the He people's civil strife. The Huang clan sent out the Huang tribe's water battalion to raid Yunguam Island at night, and the abacus of stealing chickens could not be reversed. The ship that attacked Yunguam Island was damaged and returned to the dock of Wanghai Shipyard for renovation.

After the plan of the Huang Clan's water camp to raid Yunguam Island failed, Huang Yongtao dispelled the idea of entering the army to interfere in the affairs of the He clan. turned to the side to watch the excitement, praying that the more fierce the He clan fought, the better. But that's all, the Huang people can no longer exert any real influence on this civil strife of the He people except for watching the lively burning incense and praying from the sidelines.

The He people are still in charge of their own destiny and are not swayed by other races.

The Liao army is ready to move, and there is a great tendency to take advantage of the chaos to wave its troops south to pick up cheap. It's just that in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, the lesson of the failure of the Great Liao Army's southern expedition to Gaizhou made the Liao State much more cautious and no longer underestimated the enemy.

The Liao army had already taken the army of the He people seriously, and the He people were even more difficult opponents than the Yu and Wu peoples. Especially a cutting-edge general of the He people: He Tengxiao. The strategic schemes of the Liao army were repeatedly thwarted and frustrated, which made the Liao army feel a great headache.

In the first battle of Pingshan Fort, He Tengxiao held on to Pingshan Fort, dragged down 5,000 Liao troops, and bought time for the rescue of the Qin army.

In the first battle of the city rescue, although He Tengxiao's strength was small and could not turn the tide of the battle, the cavalry of the Liao army finally forced the weak Goryeo State. However, the Liao army attacked Phoenix and lost more casualties than He Tengxiao when they landed in Goryeo.

With such an impressive record, it is enough for the Liao army to regard He Tengxiao as a fierce opponent.

The Liao army is about to move, which means that the Liao army wants to move, but it still hasn't moved for the time being. When the Liao army was preparing for the second southern expedition, a force was dispatched before the Liao army. That was Peng Chaodong's Qin army.

After confirming that He Shibao in Jinzhou had sent troops to rebel, out of concern for the development of the situation of the He people, Peng Chaodong immediately led the Qin army to aid the He family. The He were an important anti-Liao partner for him, and Peng Chaodong hoped that the civil strife of the He would be brought under control. In Peng Chaodong's view, the biggest beneficiary of the He civil strife is the Liao State, and there are several forces in Liaodong that covet the He people, but the only forces that can digest the He people in one breath are the Huang people and the Liao State.

The Huang people are restrained by the Qin army, and the He people have a natural resistance to the Huang people, and the Huang people have little hope of annexing the He people now. However, the Liao State had enough ambition and strength to annex the He family.

The He family did not want any outside forces to interfere in the He family's clan affairs, including Peng Chaodong's Qin army. Regardless of whether Peng Chaodong intervened in the affairs of the He clan out of goodwill or malice, the He family would not welcome it.

It is the consensus of all the people of the He nationality to solve their own internal problems. Eat someone else's shortest, that someone else's hand is short. The He family also doesn't want to owe Qin Jun favors, and the favors owed always have to be repaid.

When Peng Chaodong led the Qin army to arrive at Pingshan Fort, Pingshan Fort had already entered a state of combat readiness and was ready to enter battle at any time. Towards the Qin army, the Pingshan Fort Army did not show the slightest discussion.

The artillery on the head of Pingshan Fort, the bed crossbow was aimed at the Qin army under the fort, and the soldiers of Pingshan Fort stood on the fortress wall with solemn expressions and were ready for battle. Obviously, they also regarded the Qin army as an invading enemy.

The Qin army under the city saw that the defenders of Pingshan Fort pointed their guns at them, and the Qin army, which had been holding back their grievances after marching all the way, shouted and cursed. Vent your dissatisfaction to the defenders of Pingshan Fort.

The defenders of Pingshan Fort closed the fort gate as if they were facing a great enemy, and Peng Chaodong felt panicked in his heart. At this moment, his mentality is the same as that of the Qin soldiers. The Qin army came to help the He family solve the civil strife, not to take advantage of the fire to rob, this He Tengxiao actually turned away him, the governor, from the city, which is too bad for him to give the governor face. There is some suspicion of ignorance.

Peng Chaodong sent his own soldiers into the fort to question He Tengxiao, and the soldiers came out soon after entering, and the defenders of Pingshan Fort came out with the Qin army's personal soldiers: He Tengxiao, the general of the Xiao cavalry battalion.

"Yun Ji, what do you mean by this?" Peng Chaodong's face darkened, "You are such a big man! How dare you turn me out of the city! ”

"Forgiveness of sins, Lord Governor!" He Tengxiao gave a military salute to Peng Chaodong, "An expedient measure in extraordinary times, Yun Ji has no choice but to do it, and I hope that the Governor will forgive me." ”

"No more nonsense!" Peng Chaodong waved his hand impatiently, "You are a smart person, you don't need to be elaborated by this governor, you should also know the purpose of this governor's trip, this governor knows what you are worried about, this governor has no malicious intentions, and this governor also hopes that the civil strife of the He family can be properly resolved." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for missing my He family." He Tengxiao was neither humble nor arrogant, "Yun Ji thanked the Governor on behalf of the He clan and thanked Qin Jun, but Teng Xiao still won't let the Governor pass through Pingshan Fort, I hope the Governor will forgive me, please go back!" ”

"He Tengxiao!" Peng Chaodong pulled out the Shang Fang sword on his waist and put it on He Tengxiao's neck, "Dare to talk back to Ben Du, do you know the origin of this sword in Ben Du's hand?!" (To be continued.) )
