Chapter 483: Running away

Although Dingzhou has internal worries, but Li Qing is not too worried about this, a great man once said a sentence, the gun comes out of the power, Li Qing agrees very much, no matter what you want to do, there is no knife in your hand, that is a joke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he left Dingzhou, but Dingzhou has Wu and Shang Haibo, Wen Youlu Yiming, and Qingfeng in the dark, no matter who wants to make waves, I'm afraid I don't know what is easy.

In Li Qing's view, Dingzhou's internal troubles are actually closely related to external troubles, and external instability has given some people inside the opportunity to make a move, as long as the external war goes smoothly, and the external enemy is eliminated quickly and chaotically, and his solid and invincible position is established, then the internal instability will die down, at least not in a short period of time, so that he will have enough time to slowly rectify the internal situation.

A rainstorm in September extinguished the last trace of dryness, the summer in Dingzhou must be shorter, and now it must be cooler, with an order, the Red Cavalry of Lu Dabing's army assembled in Dingzhou and Wei Xin's violent bear battalion marched to the north, and the Dingzhou war machine, which had stopped large-scale military operations because of the scorching heat, rumbled again, this time Li Qing wanted to complete his work in one battle, and completely uproot the foundation of the Lu clan in the north.

In this battle of Weizhou, Li Qing gathered more than 70,000 elite troops, plus no less than this number of people who transported logistics and baggage, and the entire gallop was overcrowded.

After entering Luzhou, the busy crowd began to gradually become scarce, Fu Zhengqing served as the governor of Luzhou, as the fulcrum of Dingzhou to capture the north and an important logistics transit base, Fu Zhengqing was also a headache at first for the heavy service, Luzhou had just been annexed, not like the people of Dingzhou, without complaining to support the army to fight, the service was too heavy, it was easy to cause a backlash in Luzhou, and it was extremely unfavorable to Dingzhou's rule in Luzhou. In the early stage, the non-stop recruitment of people has been full of complaints among the people in Luzhou.

Fu Zhengqing cicada exhausted, fortunately, because of the heat and stopped the large-scale operation to give him a buffer time, let him come up with a way, in Luzhou, he set up a large military station every 100 miles, although it is called a military station, in fact, it is a large material storage warehouse, Luzhou was requisitioned people only need to send the materials to be transported 100 miles away, delivered to the military station can be returned, and the next journey will be escorted by the local soldier station to collect people, so that no matter where the people are collected, They have only traveled more than 100 miles at most, and they have not left their hometowns and have not been able to return home for a long time, and this problem has been solved.

Li Qing greatly praised Fu Zhengqing's approach, which not only solved the problem of public resentment, but also reduced the consumption of military food and materials, and greatly improved the efficiency.

After Luzhou Xu Ji was attached to Dingzhou, he served as the garrison of Luzhou, and then a large number of grassroots officers were transferred from the Dingzhou Ji Mingze training camp, the shelves of the Luzhou army have been erected, although they can not be expected to take on combat tasks, but the garrison place, escort military food and materials, is more than enough, in fact, Xu Ji is not an incompetent person, but he was born at the wrong time, and met Xu Hongwei such an unenterprising boss, and now the Dingzhou forces are booming, but it also aroused his ambition, The dead tree sprouts again, and when he grows old, he may be able to have a bright future, which makes his enthusiasm unprecedentedly high.

When Li Qing led his troops to Luzhou, Tian Feng launched two battles in Weizhou, and in Julu, Xinye, on the outskirts of Weizhou, won two battles and two victories, and successfully opened the door to attack Weizhou City.

Lu Weixiong's northern army combat power is not bad, its cavalry is mostly composed of various ethnic minorities in the north, and the combat power is also quite strong, but it encounters the Dingzhou elite who is more proficient in infantry and cavalry combat and more sophisticated weapons, and it is dwarfed, fighting a battle, losing a battle, and in half a year, the main force is trapped in Shenzhou's Lu clan is exhausted, in order to avoid being broken by the Dingzhou soldiers, Lu Weixiong will gather all the troops that Weizhou can gather in Weizhou City.

Whether to fight to the death in Weizhou, strive to inflict heavy losses on Li Qing under the city of Weizhou or retreat strategically, enter Shunzhou, seek to attack the Quanying defense line with Lu Fengchun on both sides, meet the two armies, and manage the two states of Shun and Shen, this topic has actually become a hotly debated issue within the Lu clan at the beginning of Chang Sheng's division entering Weizhou.

Lu Weixiong's staff team is inclined to give up Weizhou, in their opinion, now the Weizhou is impossible to compete with the Dingzhou troops, rather than the last bit of troops meaninglessly consumed under the city of Weizhou, it is better to preserve the living force, as long as they can join forces with Lu Fengchun, the strength of the two armies, a total of more than 150,000 troops, is enough to form a confrontation situation with Li Qing in Shenshun and Shenshun, as long as the war drags on for a long time, it will be a victory for the Lu family.

Lu Weixiong is personally inclined to this strategic consideration, but the problem is that the foundation of the Lu clan is in Weizhou, and the interests of a large number of people within the Lu clan are also in Weizhou, if Weizhou is abandoned, Lu Weixiong, as the head of the Lu clan, will not lose much, but the other clansmen of the Lu clan, as well as many vested interests in the Lu group, will go bankrupt and have nothing, and it is precisely these people who are the basis for building the Lu clan's rule in the north, without the support of these people, the Lu clan is just a building built on a pile of sand, and it will be pushed away.

The controversy continued until Tian Feng conquered Julu and Xinye, and it was still not settled, and it was only when Tian Feng's troops entered less than fifty miles away from Weizhou and could launch an attack on Weizhou City at any time, that they calmed down a little.

But with Li Qing leading the follow-up troops to arrive at the city of Weizhou, this controversy finally came to an abrupt end, Li Qing personally conquered, the elite of Dingzhou poured out, and in the attack sequence of the Dingzhou army, the barbarian army known for its barbarism actually accounted for one-third of the number, which made the people who were lucky within the Lu clan finally shut their mouths, if the city of Weizhou was broken, these barbarians entered the city, their fate would be more miserable, although money is important, but in comparison, life is more precious after all.

But at this time the retreat is not so easy, in order to carry out this large-scale retreat under the nose of the enemy, it is impossible for no one to take on the task of breaking the back, and it is obvious that this break is basically nine deaths, the Dingzhou army is also a cavalry as the main combat arm of the troops, if you want to get rid of their pursuit, you need someone to resist desperately in Weizhou City.

Lu Weixiong finally chose to take on this important task by himself, and Nie Chenghua, the general from the Hanmen, was born, at this time, it was obviously impossible for the Lu clan to undertake this task.

When Nie Chenghua was invited to Lu Weixiong's mansion and saw the sumptuous banquet on the table, as well as the heavy look on Lu Weixiong's face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that this task had finally fallen on his head.

"Chenghua, my hardship, I think you also know that there are not many people in the Lu family, let them bear this burden, I am afraid that we will all be buried, only you can reassure me." Lu Weixiong said sincerely.

Picking up the wine glass on the table, Nie Chenghua drank it all, and arched his hand: "The end will start from the cold, and the handsome will be vigorously promoted for many years, and now is the time to repay it, please rest assured that the end will definitely live up to the trust." ”

Lu Weixiong felt slightly apologetic in his heart, "Chenghua, I will leave you 30,000 horses, please keep it for ten to twenty days no matter what." ”

Nie Chenghua knew that most of the so-called 30,000 horses were the original local garrisons of various counties and governments in Weizhou, and the military discipline was sloppy and the combat effectiveness was extremely low, not to mention any conviction, and it was almost impossible to rely on such an army to resist the Dingzhou army for ten to twenty days.

"Dashuai, I have two requests!" Nie Chenghua went straight in.

"Chenghua, please speak, as long as I can, I will definitely satisfy you."

"First of all, my direct troops must stay." Nie Chenghua said.

Lu Weixiong hesitated a little, the troops in Nie Chenghua's hands were the few Weizhou elites left in his hands, with more than 5,000 people.

"Lu Shuai, I left them behind, also for the sake of the marshal, if there is no elite army in Weizhou City, I am afraid that as soon as the war starts, those miscellaneous soldiers will be scattered with a bang, let alone resist for ten days, I am afraid that it will be difficult even for three or two days." Nie Chenghua said slowly.

Lu Weixiong nodded, "Okay, no problem!" ”

"The second instruction is to ask the marshal to take my family away." Nie Chenghua exhaled, this is the aftermath.

"This Chenghua should rest assured, I will definitely settle it properly." In fact, for this point, even if Nie Chenghua doesn't say it, he will do the same, if he doesn't hold Nie Chenghua's family in his hands, if Nie Chenghua surrenders to the enemy in front of the battle, he will be blind.

The two had nothing to say, just drank and ate in a muffled voice, in fact, the two also understood in their hearts that this was a farewell.

Three days later, Li Qing's soldiers entered Weizhou City, ten miles away from the city and set up camp, the forward sentry cavalry had begun to whistle under the city, and in the city, the Lu clan people who had packed up their bags were ready to retreat.

Standing on top of the city tower, Nie Chenghua coldly looked at the countless carriages, carts and people carrying large and small packages that filled the streets of the city, and couldn't help but shake his head, looking back at the deputy general Leng Jun, "Look, it's all this time, and they are still holding on to these things outside their bodies, and even the horses of the cavalry have been levied to drag their property for them, and they really want money and don't want to die." ”

Leng Jun snorted, "If the marshal doesn't make a decision immediately, he will inevitably drag them to death, at this time, the strong man should break his wrist, except for the necessary military supplies, everything else must be abandoned, and retreat quickly, General Nie, do you think we really have to hold it for ten days?" ”

"Ten days is not enough, two or three days are always fine." Nie Chenghua said thoughtfully.

"Two or three days?" Leng Jun was taken aback.

"Leng Jun, you come with me, I have something to say to you!" Nie Chenghua patted Leng Jun's shoulder and said with a smile.

Outside the city, Li Qing's camp, many generals gathered here, and the return of the sentinel had confirmed Lu Weixiong's decision, and he was about to run away.

"Dashuai, let's attack the city!" Jiang Kui said excitedly: "Mother, at this time, the northern army abandoned the city and left, and the people who stayed behind must be discouraged, maybe they will succeed in the first battle!"
