Chapter 204: Heaven Collapses (10)

The Liaodong region also received the edict of King Qin from the herald flying horse.

Liaodong's edict of King Qin had just been conveyed to Liaodong, and Peng Chaodong had already arrived at Haimen Pass, and Du Pre, the chief soldier of Haimen Pass, was still very flattering to receive the Qin army into the pass.

This time, the Liao army broke through the border and entered the customs, which really frightened Du Pre. Secretly glad that the Liao army had the idea of hitting Haimen Pass. Du Yu also hoped that Peng Chaodong could drive the Liao army out of Saiwai as soon as possible, and it was best for the Liao army to go back from where it came, and not to go through Haimen Pass. Du Yu just wanted to be a general of the peace, and he didn't want to get involved in the war.

After King Qin's edict arrived in Liaodong, He Tengxiao also received Song Yuren's edict from King Qin. Of course, the one in He Tengxiao's hand is a replica, not an original. Based on He Tengxiao's current quality, He Tengxiao is not qualified to get the original.

The imperial court's control over the four major families of Liaodong is not strong, and He Tengxiao can ignore this edict of King Qin. This is something that has already set a precedent, during the Muzong period, the Menggu tribe coalition besieged Jingshi, and Emperor Muzong also issued an edict to King Qin to various places. Liaodong also received an edict from Emperor Muzong.

At that time, only the town army returned to the king of Qin, and the private soldiers of the four major families did not send a single soldier to the king of Qin. After the Menggu coalition retreated and the siege of Jingshi City was lifted, the imperial court did not hold the four great families responsible for not sending troops to the king.

He Tengxiao took the initiative to send troops to King Qin this time, which can be regarded as the first time that the four major families in Liaodong have made an unprecedented move. The first dispatch of the four great families of Liaodong to King Qin actually started with him He Tengxiao, and there is a little irony here.

There is also a reason why the imperial court does not want to see the four great families of Liaodong. In all fairness, if he were the emperor of Great Zhao, he would not be treated to the four great families of Liaodong.

On the day he received the edict from King Qin, He Tengxiao held a grand swearing-in ceremony in a high-profile manner to mobilize before the war.

The main content of the swearing-in ceremony was nothing more than to denounce the Liao army for violating heaven and earth and violating many evil deeds of mankind. After that, he impassionedly explained that the men and horses of the Tengbao Battalion and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were doing the right thing for heaven and had the embodiment of justice.

"Can you help me find someone this time?"

After nightfall, because he was going to leave the next day, He Tengxiao rested early. Yuan Zhengyu buckled the hidden door and walked in.

"Who are you looking for?" The solar term has entered the end of the beginning of winter, and in a bitter cold place like Liaodong, it is not said that the beginning of winter is a cold chill in the heart. He Tengxiao put on a robe and walked out.

Yuan Zhengyu doesn't often disturb He Tengxiao at night, and it is likely that there are some embarrassing things in it. He Tengxiao knew Yuan Zhengyu, and Yuan Zhengyu must have struggled for a long time when he came to He Tengxiao so late to tell him about this matter.

"In the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, Liaodong was captured, my family and I were separated, it was very chaotic, and when I ran out of the house, there were already Liao troops looting and arson in the house." Yuan Zhengyu tugged at the hem of his clothes and said slowly, "There are Liao troops everywhere on the street, and when I ran out of Liaoyang City, I was the only one left, and the rest of the family has not been heard from so far." ”

What does it mean that there has been no news since a year? Yuan Zhengyu's family members who are very willing have all died. Yuan Zhengyu came to He Tengxiao at this time to ask for someone, could it be that he couldn't let go of his relatives? Or does Yuan Zhengyu still have relatives alive? It's just that he is not in Liaodong but has returned to Guannei, so Yuan Zhengyu has never heard from his relatives?

"Are you saying that you may still have relatives alive, but you are no longer in Liaodong, and it is very likely that you went to Guannei to join your relatives?" He Tengxiao flicked the tongs, looked at Yuan Zhengyu, and asked.

"Our clan has a branch in Beizhili." Yuan Zhengyu said slowly, "Speaking of which, our family is a branch, our family is not an authentic Liaodong person, but a foreign household who moved to Liaodong during the Taizong period, and took root in Liaodong. ”

During the Taizong period, in order to enrich the population of the border areas, the frontiers were developed, and the imperial court's rule over the frontier areas was consolidated. Zhao Taizong took the initiative of forced immigration. He ordered the mainlanders to immigrate to the border areas. The target of immigration is mainly a number of well-to-do families.

It was in this context that Yuan Zhengyu's family was forcibly relocated to Liaodong by Chongbei Zhili.

"The scope of Beizhili is too large." He Tengxiao said that looking for a family without giving detailed information in the vast sea of people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the hope is extremely slim, "Can you be more detailed?" Where did you live in your own house, and do you have an image? ”

"I only know that my home is in Jinghai, and I don't know anything about ......the rest."

――――――――

This year's winter is still relatively warm compared to previous years, and the sea surface on the coast of Liaodong is not frozen.

This is good news for He Tengxiao, who is about to enter the customs. The sea route was unblocked, and He Tengxiao could directly send the soldiers who needed to go out from the Tengbao Battalion and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to the Jinmen Guard (that is, near the Tianjin area in later generations) without taking the land route, and then directly enter the Jingshi City from the Jinmen Guard.

He Tengxiao himself did not have the ability to deliver more than 4,000 people at one time, so he delivered them in two batches, and the second batch of people and horses had to wait for the first batch of people to be delivered, and then the ship returned to Yunguam Island for the second round of delivery.

This method is too time-consuming and distracts the forces to be unsuccessful. He Tengxiao did not take this approach, but urgently requisitioned all the ships near Yunguam to send troops to the army. After requisitioning all the ships that could sail to the Jinmen guards, they were barely able to send all the soldiers who were going to go to the Jinmen guards.

It's just that the boats are crowded, and many of them are old. Fortunately, the Bohai Sea is an inland sea, which is quite calm, there are no big winds and waves, and it is winter, and the sea surface is calmer than in other seasons. Barely holding on, it was still able to put 4,000 soldiers into operation.

After all, it is a small port, and the maximum transportation capacity of the squeezed out is only 4,000 people, which is still very reluctant. Now, He Tengxiao is envious of the throughput of ships in later generations.

The soldiers of King Qinwang of Pingshan Fort immediately sailed to the ships of the Jinmen guards, and in the calm of the sea, the fleet sank into the deep sea. The soldiers and civilians who stayed behind waved at them, and waited until they were below the sea level and the last mast could not be seen. The soldiers and civilians on the island dispersed.

There is no sea ice, and it is not only possible to send troops and horses by road that is more convenient than by land. More importantly, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

This time it was the first time that He Tengxiao was fighting outside his control area, and after boarding the Jinmen guard, logistics supply would be the most prominent problem.

The military supplies needed to fight at Pingshan Fort could be replenished on the spot at the Treasury House of Pingshan Fort. In a battle in a different place, it may be difficult to achieve this level of supply of military supplies. (To be continued.) )
