Chapter 355: Liaodong Good News
With the medicine king concentrating on healing, Chen Kefu's injuries are getting better and better day by day, and by February 2, the day the dragon raised his head, Chen Kefu was already able to barely walk on the ground.
And these days, in order to get the news from the outside, Chen Kefu has also deliberately treated Zhai Wushuang well. Usually looking for her when she has something, she is always gentle and elegant, for fear that if she is not careful, Miss Zhai will be unhappy, so she will no longer tell herself about the situation outside.
Twice a day, morning and evening, Miss Zhai had to personally convey the latest information to Chen Kefu. Fortunately, everything was as Chen Kefu expected, and all he heard was good news.
Wagang's three-way soldiers and horses attacked, and it was even more overwhelming, and now half of the eastern county has fallen into the hands of Wagang. However, Zhai Rang and others also strictly followed the previously agreed strategy, and after conquering the city, they only emptied the granaries and materials inside, and then recruited soldiers by the way, but they did not intend to occupy those counties for a long time, and the only position they really wanted to occupy for a long time was the White Horse Wharf of the Yellow River.
As more and more loot is transported back to Wagang, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and other three-way soldiers and horses will soon return to the cottage. Chen Kefu was looking forward to his body getting better every day, so that he could run away before Zhai let them come back.
On February 2, the new rain was dark, and the grass tooth cabbage was born for a while. There are few young people in light shirts, and there are one line of cross heads.
Around the second day of the second lunar month is one of the twenty-four solar terms. It is said that the dragon that has gone through hibernation will be awakened by the rumbling spring thunder on this day, and it will rise up. The second dragon raises its head in February, which is also a traditional festival. Especially near Luoyang, on this day, no matter how rich or not, men and women will go to the suburbs together. On this day, in addition to going out, everyone will also have a vegetable picking activity.
Chen Kefu walked slowly in the courtyard early in the morning with the help of Sun Sifu, and after walking a few dozen steps, he felt sweaty all over his body and panting. Just when he was depressed, the courtyard door opened suddenly, and Zhai Wushuang trotted in like a gust of wind.
"Dehua, I have the latest news for you!"
Looking at her excited appearance, Chen Kefu couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "What's the good news?" ”
"It's news from Liaodong," Zhai Wushuang looked at Chen Kefu with a smile on his face, and in the past half a month with Chen Kefu, she had already cleared his affection a little.
He doesn't like wine like other men, he doesn't seem to like women very much, and he doesn't even care much about money. But he only cares about one thing, that is, all kinds of information, especially the latest information of the imperial court in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the intelligence of Liaodong. As long as this information was told to him, he would definitely be happier than if he had picked up a large bag of gold.
Today, she thought about taking Chen Kefu to go on a trip, but when she heard the latest information from Liaodong, she couldn't wait to come to tell him, just to see his smile.
"Liaodong? Are you saying you have the latest news from Liaodong? Chen Kefu restrained his mood and asked, he had not heard from Liaodong for too long. Although he thought that Liaodong had been preparing for a rebellion more than a year ago.
Not only is the Liaodong Army in the hands of his henchmen, but even Li Benlei, Zhang He, Liu Tiezhu and other generals who were former Praetorian Guard officers were guarded against by him. But now Liaodong is not even sure of his life and death, and he is still a little worried about Liaodong.
This kind of unease is not that he doesn't want to miss the loyalty of Mao Yi, Mao Xi and others. In the past 20 years, those former ministers of Chenjiazhuang have proved their loyalty to him with more than 20 years of practical actions. What he was really a little worried about was that the dragons of Liaodong had no leader, but they had to face the army of the imperial court, and he was a little worried that they would not be able to deal with it.
After all, the imperial court sent 260,000 troops to the north and south, although before he left the eastern capital, he used the flying pigeon express message to Liaodong to make arrangements in advance, but nearly 20 days have passed, and he does not know the situation in Liaodong at all.
Zhai Wushuang looked at Chen Kefu's moving appearance, and was so unhappy in his heart, and said as if showing off, "This information came from Shandong, and it is said that it was half a month ago, five days after Chen Kefu was amputated to death. The Liaodong army fought with the army of the imperial court. ”
"How's it going?" Chen Kefu asked nervously, just like a man who is about to become a father for the first time is anxiously waiting for his wife's birth.
"The situation is very good, on the fifteenth day of the first month, that is, the day when the imperial court announced that Chen Ke had conspired against the incident and defected to death. The 5,000 Zuotun guards of the imperial court in the domestic counties of Liaodong, the 5,000 guards of the Liao king in Pyongyang, and the 5,000 sailors of the Liaodong Navy's Laikai assembled and raided Seoul at night, wanting to occupy this port city. ”,
"The result?"
As a result, they succeeded, and 15,000 imperial soldiers and horses succeeded in capturing Seoul. However, they only occupied it for one night, and the next day, Hu Hai, the general of Liaodong, led an army of 50,000 to attack Seoul, with 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard. Before the army arrived, the vanguard army had already broken through the gates of Seoul and entered Seoul. Of the 15,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court, nearly 8,000 were killed in battle, and the remaining less than 7,000 were surrounded, and finally disarmed and captured. The fleet of more than 100 ships of the Liaodong Naval Division parked in the port of Seoul was completely received by the Liaodong Army. Speaking of this, even Zhai Wushuang felt his blood boiling. The 10,000 Liaodong army broke through the 15,000 imperial army guarding Hancheng in one night, which really made her feel incredulous.
Chen Kefu's breath that he was holding tightly just now was finally able to exhale, and he decided to have Hu Hai lead 50,000 troops to the south of Liaodong. But I still feel a little uneasy about Hu Hai in my heart, after all, Hu Hai is from Zuo Yiwei, not from the Chen family, and no one dares to guarantee which side he will go to at a critical moment.
But after a battle, all Chen Kefu's doubts were dispelled. Hu Hai used a beautiful battle to show him his position and ability. Although Seoul is not a big city like Pyongyang and Liaoyang, the imperial court has 15,000 people after all.
"Do you know how many casualties the Liaodong Army has?" Chen Kefu finally asked.
Zhai Wushu stretched out a finger and shook it, "I heard that the 10,000 pioneers of the Liaodong Army only took Seoul at the cost of about 1,000 casualties." A thousand people, not all of them were killed in battle, but they included the wounded soldiers. The Liaodong Army is really strong, too powerful. It would be nice if one day, the Phoenix Women's Army could also have such combat effectiveness. ”
Hearing this casualty figure, Chen Kefu nodded, and he was also very satisfied. He knew that this was Hu Hai's eagerness to take Seoul, otherwise, if he fought steadily, Hu Hai, who had gunpowder weapons, would not have suffered such a big casualty at all.
Chen Kefu let out a sigh of relief, and his heart was very good, "Jiāojiāo, today is the second day of February, let's go to the green together!" ”
Zhai Wushuang smiled and nodded in agreement, but said at the end. "Don't you want to hear it anymore?"
What to listen to again? ”
"News from Liaodong!" Zhai Wushuang said with a smile.
Chen Kefu was stunned, "Is there any news from Liaodong?" ”
"Of course, you don't look at who Miss Ben is, there is no news in this world that Miss Ben can't inquire about. What I just said is only a small part of the news in Liaodong, but I still have a big piece of news that I haven't said. Say, "What are you going to thank me with?" ”
"I can promise you one condition, whatever you want later." Chen Kefu only wants to know the situation in Liaodong now, and as for Miss Zhai in front of him, of course, he can agree to anything first.
"Okay, that's what you said." Zhai Wushuang smiled brightly, "Another piece of news from Liaodong is that when Lai Kai attacked Hancheng at night with 15,000 imperial soldiers and horses, the Liaodong army also attacked the imperial army's army that night. ”
Chen Kefu pondered for a while, and immediately said, "You mean that the Liaodong Army near the Liao River crossed the Liao River and attacked the imperial garrison in western Liao?" ”
Zhai Wushuang looked incredulous and exclaimed, "How do you know everything?" Indeed, on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Shishen, the general of Liaodong, and Shen Guang, the meat flying immortal, led 50,000 cavalry, did not take the old road, but unknowingly crossed the Liao River from the upstream direction of the Liao River, completely avoiding the spies of the imperial court garrison. ”
"When they arrived at the military camp of General Pei Renji, the general of Zuo Wuwei in Huaiyuan Town, they were not prepared at all. Pei Renji stayed behind as the deputy guard of Liaodong, and his two sons Pei Renyan and Pei Xingjian were stationed in the military town of Huaihua in western Liaoning. I didn't expect the Liaodong Army on the east bank of the Liao River to suddenly kill them. Fortunately, Pei Renji's father and son still have some skills, although they were raided, they did not break up. In black, the father and son gathered the defeated army, retreated and fought all the way, and finally retreated into the Linyu Pass of the Great Wall, one of the top ten dangerous passes in the world, with 10,000 remnants of soldiers two days later. The Liaodong Army, which pursued all the way, annihilated Pei Renqi's thousands of men and horses, and captured more than 10,000 defeated soldiers. In the end, the 50,000-strong army attacked Linyu Pass for three consecutive days, annihilated Pei Renji's more than 5,000 men and horses again, and finally stopped the attack after Li Jing, the general of Yuyang, led his troops to arrive, and finally led his troops to camp outside Linyu Pass! ”
Chen Kefu remembered the first time he saw Pei Renji's father and son in Xincheng, Pei Renji, a leading figure in the military circles, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and could not be underestimated. And his son, Pei Xingyan, who is younger than himself, is a few fierce generals in the younger generation of the Great Sui, and even Yang Guang praised him as 'ten thousand enemies'. still remembers that at that time, he had just been promoted to the Eagle Yang Lang General, and Pei Xingyan there was also the Eagle Yang Lang General. Now he holds the Liaodong Army, but Pei Xingyan has also become a tiger general.
Hu Hainan broke the mixed army of land and water, and Lu Shishen did not live up to his trust, and successfully defeated the 30,000 Liaoxi army of Pei Renji and his son, and drove it to the Great Wall. Although in the end, he did not compete for all the success and failed to win the Great Wall pass. But Chen Kefu is also satisfied, and being able to achieve such a record is equivalent to the failure of Yang Guang's decision to quickly solve Liaodong.
Now the Liaodong Army is holding the pass of the Great Wall of Beiping in the north, and on the sea route, the two major ports of Beisha and Hancheng are still firmly held by the Liaodong Army. The entire defense system of Liaodong was not damaged in any way.
At this point, if Yang Guang wants to make a quick decision and take Liaodong, he can only dream.
