Chapter 0187: The Imperial Driver's Expedition

The next day, the Linhezhai garrison was commanded by the 13th Battalion so that Song Lingguang took over the change of defense, and Zhang Yue accompanied Hou Zhang to lead his troops north to Huining. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info only stayed for one day, Hou Zhang led a thousand tooth soldiers to Liangzhou to take up his post, and the two caravans of Bian Ji and Han Fu traded some goods with Zhang Yue and accompanied Hou Zhang.

In order to facilitate the unified defense management, Zong Jingcheng, the deputy envoy of Huizhou defense, often led the nine battalions to be stationed in Wulan County, and Yan Chengwang led the eleventh battalion to be stationed in Zhongning, Zhongwei, and Yatoukan, and changed to He Chenghui to lead the ten battalions to be stationed in Baishanshu, and the three battalions of 1,500 people were the first army of the Zhenyuan Army.

The 12th battalion Shi Chenghong was stationed in Huining, the 13th battalion Song Lingguang was stationed in Linhezhai and Huiningguan, and the 14th battalion Li Duofu was stationed in Hechi. The six battalions of 3,000 recruits stationed in Huizhou are a little less, but it is estimated that the time will not be too long, and Zhang Yue doesn't care.

Li Chuyun and Chen Jia were promoted to the chief and deputy envoys of a battalion; Hao Tianying and Liang Zhiyi were promoted to the chief and deputy envoys of the third battalion of the horse army; Liu Xinghuai and Hou Congyi were promoted to the chief and deputy envoys of the Seventh Battalion; Hou Chao was promoted to deputy envoy of the sixth battalion; Yiqian filled the vacancy as the deputy envoy of the Eighth Battalion and gave Ming Jinrong as his deputy. There are still 300 people left in the personal guard battalion, with Li Duoshou as the commander and Du Ximi as the deputy envoy.

The battalion-level officers made another big move, it didn't matter if they stayed behind, if they went to war, they needed to be familiar with the officers and soldiers under their command, and if they waited until the order of Tokyo to prepare, it would be too late, so Zhang Yue started to do it first. The next step is to intensify training in order to improve combat effectiveness.

The main generals of the third, sixth and eighth battalions of the Ma army were basically not adjusted, after the battle of Huining, the original thirty horned crossbows and seventy wooden single crossbows were damaged a lot, Zhang Yue retained fifty intact wooden single crossbows, and the rest were returned to Guo Rong and brought back to Tokyo.

After Zhang Yue personally presided over the drill for a few days, he entrusted Li Chuyun with military affairs and turned to government affairs. Considering that the southern part of Huizhou bordered Houshu in Qinzhou, and the troops were slightly insufficient, he ordered Liang Benji not to move north to Quwu Mountain for the time being, so as to defend the southern border.

In fact, there was no people to govern the administrative affairs, so Wen Yuankai and Li Liangbi took charge of the general, and Sihu joined the army to assist, so that Xuan Chongwen transferred soldiers to assist in repairing roads, repairing city defenses and military forts, and sent Si Tian to join the army to Hechi to continue to build the Hechi Military City, as well as horse farms and salt farms.

In addition, when the season of cultivation comes, it is necessary to reclaim the fields to build military cantonments, otherwise the supply of thousands of soldiers, the court will not bear the cost of grain and grass for a long time, and it will be unsustainable. The affairs of Huining County were represented by the state government, and Zong Jingcheng was in charge of Wulan, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At the beginning of February, Li Yun, the marshal of the Zhaoyi Festival in Luzhou, played the game, and Liu Chong of Hedong and Yang Gon, the envoy of the Northern Court of Xuanhui of the Liao State and the general, were about to lead the troops to invade the south. When Guo Rong received the report, he immediately sent someone to Hedong to investigate and confirm the news.

In mid-February, Yang Gon, the general of the Liao State, led 15,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry, a total of 40,000 troops, but claimed to be 100,000, arrived in Taiyuan and was preparing to go south.

On the 22nd day, there was another Hedong express horse urgent delivery report: Liu Chong's troops were divided into two routes, with the general Zhang Hui leading 5,000 troops as the forward, and attacked Jinzhou from the western front out of the Bird Mouse Valley and Tuanbai Valley; Liu Chongzi led the main force of 30,000 out of Shihuiguan, with the general Zhang Yuanhui as the vanguard, and stationed troops in Lianghou Yi in the northwest of Xiangyuan.

Li Yun, the marshal of Zhaoyi Festival in Luzhou, received the report, and commanded Mu Lingjun to lead 2,000 men to meet the battle, and led the main force of 10,000 to camp at the Taipingyi north of Tunliu.

Zhang Yuanhui of the Northern Han Dynasty saw Mu Lingjun marching northward, so he ambushed the road from the forest with infantry, led hundreds of horsemen to fight with him several miles south, the cavalry of the two sides fought first, only one round of charge, Zhang Yuanwei feigned defeat, Mu Lingjun led his troops to pursue several miles and was killed in an ambush, and the whole army was annihilated.

Li Yun was shocked when he heard the news, fled back to Luzhou Prefecture to govern the party, and did not dare to attack again, so he closed the city and defended himself.

Guo Rong received the report, his heart was shocked and angry, and immediately summoned the prime minister and the ministers to the Jinxiang Palace to discuss, and after Feng Dao, Fan Zhen, Li Gu, and Wang Pu arrived, he spoke first: "I heard that Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, colluded with the Khitan to enter the Kou, and I drove the army to conquer the enemy. ”

When the ministers heard this, they persuaded one after another, and Feng Daocao said: "Since Liu Chong fled from Pingyang in the first year of Guangshun, his strength has weakened, and he will definitely not dare to fight. His Majesty is newly enthroned, and the day of the burial of the Taizu Mountain Mausoleum is approaching, at this time, people's hearts are easy to shake, and they cannot be moved lightly, and they can order the general to lead the troops to the battle. ”

Guo Rong was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "Liu Chong took advantage of the great loss to enter the Kou, this is to deceive the young and just ascended the throne, and he has the intention of capturing Tokyo, and he will definitely come, and I can't help but conquer it myself." ”

How do you know that Feng Dao insists on it, but he doesn't agree. Guo Rong was furious, and said angrily: "In the past, Tang Taizong pacified the world, which time was not a personal expedition, how could I steal and not go." ”

Feng Dao was also annoyed, and said very unceremoniously: "I don't know if Your Majesty can be a monarch like Tang Taizong?" ”

"With the strength of my Great Zhou Forbidden Army, breaking Liu Chongru Taishan to suppress the eggs, I conquered Huizhou last year, why not calm it down with one go, why not this time?" Guo Rong said angrily, his words full of disdain.

Feng Dao also blushed and stiffened his neck and said: "Huizhou is only one state, Taiyuan Liu Chong does not count the country, there are more Liao soldiers to help, and Your Majesty can't be Mount Tai." ”

repeatedly made such contemptuous words, Guo Rong was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and he almost rolled up the sleeves of his robe and scolded: I want to go to Yunyu with Lingtang!

Feng Dao was an old minister, and Guo Rong couldn't do anything about him, so he looked at Fan Zhen, Li Gu, and Wang Pu, and the three of them muttered quietly, obviously disagreeing. After a while, Wang Pu was more face-saving, got up and said: "The forbidden army is strong and strong, and Your Majesty wants to conquer it in person, but you have to properly arrange the affairs of the DPRK and China." ”

Guo Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed. After that, the Lujun Zhaoyi Army continued to report and make up again: Liu Chong took advantage of the victory to go south and had entered the territory of Luzhou.

On the third day of the first month of March, Guo Rong issued an edict: Fu Yanqing, the envoy of the Tianxiong Festival of the Daimyo Mansion, and Guo Chong, the envoy of the Zhenning Festival, led the troops to advance horizontally from Guzhen in Cizhou under the rule of the Anguo Jiedu Envoy to the west, and could rush to Luzhou Liu Chongjun to contain it;

Wang Yanchao, the envoy of the Hezhong Jiedu, Han Tong, the envoy of the Baoyi Jiedu of Shaanzhou, and Zhang Yue, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of the Zhenyuan Army of Huizhou, immediately led the troops to the northeast of Jinzhou to intercept the Northern Han army.

Xiang Xun, the envoy of Xuanhui Southern Academy, Fan Aineng, the commander of the Ma Jun of the guards, He Hui, the commander of the infantry army, Bai Chongzan, the envoy of Yicheng Jiedu in Huazhou, Shi Yanchao, the defense envoy of Zhengzhou, and Fu Yanneng, the former training envoy of the Yaozhou regiment, led the troops to Zezhou to prepare for the war in advance.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, Guo Rong issued another edict: amnesty for the world, civil and military officials will be grateful, and the prefectures and counties of the province will be exempted from rent and tax. On this day, Xijing Luoyang Mansion reported that Shi Yi, the former marshal of Jingyuan, died of illness. (To be continued.) )
