Chapter 285 Dingzhou Military Discussion
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Gao Xing attacked the south during the week, and he had to help the warehouse, Gao Huaide's young heart, he built yì and then attacked the flat warehouse, Gao Xing was quite moved on Monday, but he was never a risk-taking character, after thinking about it, he still shook his head, and said: "Now Hebei Prefectures, except for the border, the rest are defenseless, and now the news of our southward movement has not spread, hundreds of miles of rushing to take the flat and secluded warehouse, the odds of winning are quite large, but the flat and quiet are easy to take and difficult to defend, once the flat and quiet are lost, it is to cut off Du Chongwei's grain road, At that time, he will definitely go south regardless of a qiē, how can you resist at that time? ”
Therefore, he rejected his son's suggestion and instead prepared to attack Dingzhou, Gao Huaide was gearing up, but since his father decided to act cautiously, he couldn't help it.
At this moment, Dingzhou and Tang County sent people to report at the same time, it turned out that they did not know that Gongjicang had changed hands, and their messenger was kind enough to warn, saying that there seemed to be an abnormal movement between the mountain roads in the northwest recently, and they should be careful here.
Liu Yan appeased the envoy and later greeted Gao Xingzhou, Gao Xingzhou smiled: "Their ears and eyes are still quite sensitive, but it's a pity that they are one step late." Now that he is coming, we are just in time! ”
————————————————————————
The army on Gao Xingzhou's side did not mention it, but said that after the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment arrived in Lingqiu County, Zhang Mai summoned all the ministers and generals and announced the dispatch of Gao Xingzhou to the south.
When the generals heard that this was going to start a war against Shi Jin, they all applauded excitedly. If it was in Longyou at this time, Cao Yuanzhong would definitely fall to the side of the generals and shout, the matter of money and grain has Zheng Wei, Zhang Yi, Fan Qian, Wei Renpu, they are worried, but in Yunzhou, he is always in charge of military and political logistics matters, it is the butt that decides the head, and when the position changes, the idea is different, and he called the grain calculating officer and asked: "Now that we control the prefectures and counties under the control of zhì, how is the money and grain reserves?" ”
The grain calculator said: "If the army eats in the city, there will be surplus grain until the autumn harvest." If the army leaves the country, it will support at most thirty or forty thousand people for a month's food. ”
The generals frowned when they heard this, if they wanted to attack Shi Jin, they would have to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that if they really wanted to start a war, most of them would lead Xue Fu's northern expeditionary army south, and at that time, Yunzhou would still have to help the southbound army.
Operation Grand Army. There has always been only grain and grass to be calculated in abundance, where is there enough food for a month? I'm afraid that I will run out of food before I get out of the pass a few steps. If it comes to that point, as long as the other party closes the city gate, there is no need to fight, and the Tang army can only come back in ashes.
Liu Heihu said: "According to this statement, we can only sit and wait until after the autumn harvest?" ”
Zhe Deyan interjected: "It's the autumn harvest." It's hard to be afraid. In the past two years, the land has been greatly tormented, and in order to rest with the people, we have just issued a tax exemption policy, how can we change the order overnight? At that time, we will lose faith in the people. ”
For example, compared with Shi Jinlai, today's policy is not only stronger in terms of military strength, but also has a huge advantage in the centripetal force of the people and the credibility of the government, so it would rather suffer defeat in World War I than lose trust. Even the generals agree on this.
Liu Heihu said: "We just don't have food, but we can still get the money, break Mobei, break Shangjing, break Zhongjing, and get a lot of gold and silver treasures along the way, plus the income from the opening of trade roads, the goods we brought from Ganliang." I don't know how many, but it's not much! When the time comes, won't you just take the money out to buy food? We just said that we would not collect taxes, but we did not say that we could not buy food from the people! ”
Zhe Deyan shook his head and said, "After the war, how can there be a good year!" Jinbei has suffered such a toss, this year will definitely be a bad harvest, and the people can guarantee their rations! If they are asked to sell their surplus food that can only make ends meet, who will? Who would dare? If we forcibly buy it. Then...... I'm afraid that it will lead to a civil uprising. ”
In the past two years, he has traveled around the prefectures and counties of Daidi and is familiar with the people's feelings, so his words carry a lot of weight.
Liu Heihu was greatly disappointed, although he was a fierce general. On the battlefield, he was extremely brave, but when it came to important military and political affairs, he was worse than Fold De Wall, and there was nothing he could do at this time, but he sighed again and again.
Cao Yuanzhong said: "It would be much better if this matter was in Liangzhou." ”
The Tiance regime has been rooted in Ganlong for a long time, and its credibility has been established, if the government promises to transfer grain from other places to enter the country, it is possible to mobilize the Haoqiang, clans, and even the common people to keep half a year's rations and sell half a year's rations, but in Yunzhou, who can trust those who talk empty words?
Zhang Mai understood what he meant, nodded, and said, "We are here, after all, our credit has not been established." That's why we need to get the enemy's food, and if Gao Xingzhou can get it, we can act, otherwise everything will be over! ”
Cao Yuanzhong said: "You can't just rely on a strange soldier. ”
"Of course, you have to prepare with both hands." Zhang Mai said: "Count the days, now the white horse cavalry should have been dispatched, and we can also act." The battalions immediately moved south and east, Li Yiyin was stationed in Yingzhou, and Bai Chengfu was stationed in Shuozhou. I led the Chinese army, marched into Ding'an County, and made a posture of using troops to the east to deter Youzhou; Yang Guangyuan marched to Guangling, Ulzhou, and Zhedeyan marched to Lingqiu, Ulzhou, as a backup for Gao Xingzhou - all the soldiers and horses ate in the border cities, and those who had insufficient grain storage in the cities were deployed by the surplus grain department. Zhao Pu went south with Zhede and waited for the public opinion offensive; Cao Yuanzhong was in the middle of the dispatch. If Gao Xing Zhou's major event is completed, the soldiers and horses of the east and south roads will take advantage of the situation to enter the country, and if Gao Xing Zhou is defeated, then we still want to attack, agitate the people of Hebei, and wait for the internal changes in Shijin. ”
Cao Yuanzhong said: "Then the chess pieces we buried in Hebei before can we do something?" ”
Zhang Mai said: "Yes! ”
He paused, looked south, and said, "I want to pass on the two rivers, who will write it?" ”
Tiance Datang is now the biggest two pen sticks are not there, all the generals present are generals, Zhao Pu is in charge of the public opinion offensive against Lianghe, which is also the affairs of the Wenchen series, so he dared to say: "Although the minister does not learn and has no literature, he is willing to give it a try." ”
Zhang Mai smiled: "You don't need any literary talent, you just copy it!" Just write like this......" He said that he pressed the saber on his waist with his hand, pondered for a while at the Central Plains, snorted, and said: "Shi Jingjiao, you Shatuo child, you don't deserve to have this world!" ”
After speaking, there was silence in the tent for a while, and after a while, Liu Heihu said: "Write!" Why not write? ”
Zhao Pu suddenly realized and said: "Just write 'Shi Jingjiao, you are a Shatuo child, you don't deserve to have this world'?" ”
Liu Heihu said: "Of course, isn't this clear enough!" ”
————————————
"Shi Jingjiao, you Shatuo child, you don't deserve to have this world!"
This is the text. It is also the slogan that Tiance is about to go south!
This sentence came out of Zhang Mai's mouth, and in less than half a day, it spread throughout the whole army, as well as the whole city of Yunzhou, all the soldiers, all the people, all of them shouted!
"Shi Jingjiao, he doesn't deserve to have this world!"
A word of light. At the same time, thousands of leaflets were printed and sent to all the soldiers and horses that had already been mobilized, and even sent out of the country.
————————————
Zhe Deyan led 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 horsemen and crossbows, and 5,000 logistics men then rushed to Yingzhou. A few days ago, Gao Xingzhou was Xiaoxing overnight, and he also sacrificed a little degree when he marched in the territory for secrecy, but he hurried in an open and honest manner, and the whole army only prepared two days' rations, and on the third day, he arrived in Guangling, Ulzhou, where he had a full meal and slept all night. Then after another day's walk, they arrived at Lingqiu, which is the southeasternmost border county under the current Tiance control, and another county seat in Ulzhou, Feihu County, east of Lingqiu, is still in the hands of the Jin army.
As a result, I heard that the Tiance army had arrived, and the flying fox guards of the Jin army actually fled overnight! The local gentry opened the city gate and sent people to Lingqiu to ask Zhede to enter the city to protect the territory. Zhe Deyan was not polite, and sent 500 cavalry that night, and the soldiers took Feihu County without bloodshed.
After Zhe Delan got the good news from the front, he was about to pull out the camp and march eastward, when news came from the rear: Yang Guangyuan had arrived in Guangling.
Zhe Deyan said to the messenger: "The flying fox is coming." I'm going to surrender, and I'm going to ask General Yang to go south to Lingqiu. Then he led the soldiers and horses eastward, long before he arrived in Lingqiu County, the rear army of the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment had also entered the territory of Shijin, and after receiving the flying fox, he asked about it, only to see that the flying fox had no idea about it.
It turned out that this Ulzhou was already on the border of Yan and Dai, and it was going southeast from Feihu to Hebei. It is necessary to cross the Wuhui Ridge, and to enter Yizhou due east, it must pass through the Bauhinia Ridge, which is all relevant and can be defended, while the flying fox faces Lingqiu and Guangling and has no danger to defend. Therefore, the Jin army left behind was very negative, under the pressure of Zhang Mai, it was the intention of the Tang army to flee as soon as it came, and the generals only had the intention of fleeing, but had no enterprising heart, so there was no immediate appearance of Gao Xingzhou.
Zhao Pu said to Zhe Deyan: "The white horse cavalry has entered Hebei from the southwest of Lingqiu and around the Taihang Mountain Road for six or seven days, and now even the flying fox has not appeared, so it can be seen that he is really secretive." Since the flying fox doesn't know, most of the Yizhou in the east, Baozhou in the southeast, and Dingzhou in the south are also kept in the dark, and it seems that this surprise attack has at least an eighty percent chance of winning! ”
Zhe De said: "Count the days, if the vanguard of the white horse cavalry is smooth, I am afraid that now it will also arrive at the Mutual Aid Warehouse." The order is that the whole army will be stationed in the Flying Fox to rest, and tomorrow I will lead 800 soldiers to Dingzhou! ”
The southwest of Feihu County is Changshan, the southeast of Feihu County is Wuhui Ridge, between the two mountains, the hills and ravines are undulating, the road is difficult to walk, the Jin army built three forts here, and defended by danger. After these three forts, there are seventeen chain of dock forts and military villages, dotted among the mountains. At the end of the seventeen chain of Wubao military fortresses is Tang County, another important military town in Dingzhou.
Such terrain could not accommodate thousands of troops and horses to gallop together, but it was difficult for a small number of soldiers and horses to capture this chain of Wubao military villages, so it was never a good way for the army to move - of course, compared to the mountain road taken by Gao Xing Zhou during the surprise attack, this road was much easier to walk.
On the second day, Zhede Fence only brought 400 crossbows, 400 light horses, buckled along the way, the three forts at the forefront had already heard the news of the loss of the flying fox, the wind was rumored for a night, and saw the soldiers and horses of Zhede Fen, there was a garrison of the fortress to lead the troops to escape, and the guard of another fortress led the troops to surrender, leaving only the fort called Wuhui Fort in the corner was still resisting stubbornly.
Zhedelan stationed in the empty fort, accepted the surrender, and then spread Zhang Mai's inscription, calling on the seventeen chain dock forts in the south to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
But these seventeen chain dock forts are different from the previous three, the first three garrisons are all rogue soldiers, and these seventeen dock forts are all clans who have lived here for hundreds of years, even if a million troops come to scare them away, these seventeen dock forts are divided into Han, Zhang, Zhao, Liu, Gao, An six surnames, here the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, has always only paid taxes and grain, but outsiders in the clan affairs can not intervene, there is a bit of a taste of listening to the tune and not listening to the Xuan, Shi Jingjiao's reputation in the central city and major states and counties has long been rotten, but it has not harmed them here, Therefore, for these six surnames and seventeen dock forts, Shi Jingjiao is still the emperor of the Central Plains who sits firmly in Luoyang, and the prestige of Zhedeyan in this area is not high, and there are still five forts on the front line that have not been broken, so the six surnames and seventeen dock forts are unwilling to surrender lightly.
However, they were also afraid of Zhang Mai's prestige. As early as when Flying Fox surrendered, the six clans had already heard the news, and at this time, they gathered at the most important Huatazi to discuss countermeasures.
There is a general who asked for orders to attack the Wuhui Fort, and Zhede said: "I learned from the guide's mouth that the Wuhui Fort is also called the Wuhui Fort, which means 'there is no return', and it is built on the mountain." Easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once we start to attack, it will hurt our morale if we don't take it, and if we want to take it forcibly, we will inevitably lose our troops and lose our troops for a long time, which is not a good strategy. ”
"How's that to be?"
Zhe Deyan said: "Don't worry, the success or failure of the White Horse Cavalry is in these two days, and we will endure it for three or five days." In three days, there will be changes in the south! ”
"So we're just going to wait?"
"No, there's going to have to be some movement!"
Zhe Deyan sent an envoy to Huatazi, claiming to be ordered by Admiral Tiance to go to Dingzhou, and asked for the seventeen chain Wubao to borrow the road.
————————
Among the six surnames, the surname Han is the richest and the surname Zhang is the strongest. The surnames Gao and An are the most courageous. The surname Liu was afraid of things, and his patriarch said: "If they want to borrow the Tao, then let them pass!" If the Khitans come, we will naturally resist, but Tiance heard that they are also Han people, and they go to fight for the world, what does it matter to us! ”
The surname Zhang occupies seven forts in the seventeen chain of dock forts, which is considered to be powerful in this area, but it is a frog at the bottom of the well in terms of knowledge. Wen Yan refuted: "Confused! Luoyang is the Son of Heaven who is sitting! Those who dare to fight the Son of Heaven are rebellious ministers and thieves! The ancestors of our six surnames are allied by blood, and they have always been in Zhengshuo and the king's order! If they were sent by the emperor, then we wouldn't dare to stop them, but they were going to attack the emperor, so how could we let them go! Helping the rebellious ministers and thieves rebel, that is the crime of extermination! ”
There's no denying it. After thousands of years of edification, the idea of imperial power in the land of China has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, which is one of the reasons why people of insight such as Fan Zhen, Wei Renpu and even Feng Dao believe that Zhang Mai should be called emperor.
At this time, the patriarch surnamed Gao said: "I heard the news yesterday, it seems that there is a big change in the south!" ”
Several patriarchs changed color together and said, "What big change?" ”
The patriarch surnamed Gao said: "It seems that there are soldiers and horses who have stolen from the western mountain road." attacked Gongjicang, and Tang County sent troops to reinforce it, and I heard that someone from Dingzhou also rushed there. ”
The patriarch surnamed Liu said: "I've heard about it too, I've heard it too." If the soldiers and horses belong to Zhang Tang, once the mutual aid warehouse is lost, will Tang County still be able to keep it? If Tang County is lost, then we will be wrapped in buns. ”
"Nothing!" The patriarch surnamed Zhang said: "I also know what you said, my dog is leading troops in Tang County, what do you know, can I not know?" But don't worry! Tang County, Dingzhou plus Gongjicang, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! The mutual aid warehouse is also firmly built, and it is not so easy to be breached. And if you think about it, the mountain road to the west is not easier to walk than this side, and the five fortresses on that road, although they are more scattered than ours, have been trained by General Baima! It's not easy for soldiers and horses to pass over there! Besides, the sneak attack of the soldiers and horses has not yet shown its banner! Maybe it's just a group of bandits who came out of the Taihang Mountains! Nothing big, nothing big! ”
When the patriarchs heard this, they were slightly relieved, and immediately listened to the words of the patriarch surnamed Zhang, and drove away the messenger of Zhederan.
After a long time like this, someone rushed in outside the gate and shouted, "The young master is back!" The young master is back! ”
The patriarch surnamed Zhang said happily: "My son is back!" Then he was stunned: "Why did my son come back?" ”
After a while, I saw my son's face covered with smoke and dust, scattered shawls, torn sleeves, and two men who were also wolves, breaking into the hall.
The patriarch surnamed Zhang asked in surprise: "Son, what's wrong with you?" ”
His son was stunned and shouted: "Tang County, Tang County is lost!" ”
"Lost? How could it be lost? Where did the soldiers and horses come from? ”
"It's the people of the Tiance Tang Army......"
"Tiance Tang Army? How could this be! The soldiers and horses of the Tiance Tang Army are still blocked by us in the north! How did they get there? Fly over? ”
Everyone and the patriarch surnamed Zhang in general, they were a little confused, but they heard his son say: "That's the case, that day Gongjicang suddenly encountered the police, its guards sent people to ask for help, Gongjicang is where the military food is, there is no room for loss, our army will immediately dispatch troops to reinforcements, on the way to meet the same rush to reinforcements of Dingzhou people, then join the army, did not want the soldiers and horses to rush to the front of the Gongji, but saw that the gate was closed, we called the door close, and the city suddenly rained arrows. Hit us by surprise, followed by an ambush in the forest of the cavalry suddenly killed, disrupted our army's position, at this time the Gongji Cangqi gate opened, soldiers and horses rushed over, front and back under the attack, our army was defeated. had to retreat to Dingzhou, who knew that the enemy was so cunning that Dingzhou had been taken! ”
"Took Dingzhou?" The patriarch surnamed Zhang shouted: "That's the state city!" Which is so easy! ”
"Father doesn't know! On that day, Dingzhou heard that there was a change in the mutual aid warehouse, and almost poured out, but the enemy had already ambushed another group of men and horses on the fork in the road, just waiting for the Dingzhou soldiers and horses to be dispatched. Attacked the state city! I couldn't wait to enter, so I fled back to Tang County, who knew that the county order of Tang County, seeing that the momentum was not right, had already surrendered the city. The son didn't know what to do for a while, so he simply fled home. ”
The patriarchs of the six surnamed Seventeen Wubao were all shocked when they heard the news, and this area was under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou. Therefore, the change of state and city is like the sky falling apart for them.
The patriarch surnamed Zhang said: "What kind of powerful person can do such a big thing!" ”
"Yes...... It's the White Horse Silver Gun High Week! ”
"What!"
There was an uproar in the whole house, and everyone had a look of disbelief, but "so it is"!
Gao Siji once settled in the Changshan area not far from here, where he taught his children and made a great reputation, and Gao Xingzhou was a general of Shi Jin. At the beginning, he led the middle road army through Dingzhou, so the Haoqiang of the state were all intimidated by its prestige!
When someone else did this, the heroes in the hall would feel incredible, but after changing the legendary White Horse General Gao Xingzhou, everyone took it for granted, and even the surrender of the Tang County Decree was regarded as logical.
After everyone was frightened for a while, they couldn't help but ask, "How could it be him!" Isn't he a general of the Great Jin Dynasty? How could they attack the Mutual Aid Warehouse. Raiding Dingzhou? ”
"I also heard that he died! Martyrdom! Before, on the side of Changshan, someone came over and said that the emperor had rewarded the Gao family with a shade! ”
"It can't be a mistake, right?"
"How is this possible!"
The son of the patriarch surnamed Zhang didn't know who to answer in the chaotic inquiries of everyone, and it wasn't until the patriarch surnamed An shouted violently that he suppressed everyone. Pointing at him, he asked, "Is your news true?" ”
"Naturally, it's true! It's what I saw with my own eyes, how can it be untrue! Rushed out of the forest that day, the leader was a young general riding a yellow horse, I felt familiar at the time, and then came to Dingzhou to see the other party's banner, only to remember that it was Gao Huaide, the son of the Gao family - when they passed by Dingzhou, I was ordered to go to meet it, yes! There is also the one who went to take Dingzhou City, it was Liu Yan, the general of the original Gongji Cang - if it weren't for him, how could he easily deceive the city gate of Dingzhou? When we arrived at the city of Dingzhou, he was standing at the head of the city, and I have seen him three times before this General Liu, and I will not admit my mistake. ”
The hall fell silent all of a sudden, these local tyrants in Dingzhou don't have a big vision of the country, but the military of Benzhou still knows, and they all know that Liu Yan is Gao Xingzhou's old department, if it weren't for Gao Xingzhou's appearance, who could still drive him?
The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in the minds of the local tyrants of the six surnames and seventeen dock forts, no matter how powerful Zhang Mai is, it is out of reach, but Gao Xingzhou's prestige is something they can really feel, not to mention that now the other party has taken refuge in Tiance and attacked Dingzhou, so everyone is panicked and panicked.
Suddenly, the patriarch surnamed Liu howled and cried, "Sure enough, I'm going to be made dumplings, what should I do now, what should I do now!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they understood! Seeing that the army of Zhede is in the north and Gao Xingzhou's men and horses are in the south, if they are flanked by each other. How can a mere seventeen dock forts resist?
In fact, if the Seventeen Dock Fort can be united, even if Gao Xingzhou and Zhe De are really attacking from the north and south, it will take a lot of effort to uproot them one by one, but in this situation, everyone is afraid, and everyone is afraid. This is under the influence of the general trend, and the crowd is so excited that they lose their reason and courage.
For a while, there were those who were in a hurry, there were those who were stunned, and there were those who trembled, but they heard the patriarch surnamed Na'an shout again: "What are you afraid of!" Afraid of a bird! The messenger of Tiance should not have gone far yet, let's invite him back and promise to make way, right? ”
When everyone heard this, a light crossed their hearts, and the patriarch surnamed Zhang hurriedly said: "Yes! Hurry, hurry! Go and stop them! ”
After the people sent out to chase after went out, the patriarch surnamed Liu said again: "As the saying goes, this time is also, and that time is also." We didn't agree just now, but now, I'm afraid that just to give way, the other party may not be willing to agree! ”
Everyone felt reasonable, and they were sad again, the patriarch surnamed Zhang originally had a tough attitude, but he felt hopeless to resist. The heart fell to the other extreme, and at this time he was also very afraid, and said: "If we just refuse to give way, then we will lower our attitude even more." Give them whatever they want! These people who are fighting for the world will not look down on our mountain lumps, and they are just passing back and forth. Just send them away. Even if the family is broken, as long as the land is left, the money and food will come back after a few years of suffering. ”
Everyone felt justified again, and after discussing for a long time, it was finally decided that the six surnamed Zongzi would follow the messenger of Zhe De to the army to ask for guilt. And he is willing to lead the way and build bridges and send the Tiance army to cross.
When the messenger sent by Zhedelan arrived at noon, he was lukewarmly rejected by the people of the six surnamed Seventeen Dock Forts, and was chased back in the evening, and was served all night with good wine and meat, and that night a little lady surnamed Zhang came to warm the bed, and he knocked on the side and learned that the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment had succeeded in the south. After the joy, he brought the six surnamed Zongzi back to the army on the second day.
When Zhi De Yan and Zhao Pu heard that the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment had succeeded, they glanced at each other, and their eyes showed ecstasy at the same time. At the moment, he was silent, accepted the native products and gold and silver contributed by the six surnames, and said: "This general is ordered by the marshal to go to Dingzhou to meet with General Gao Xingzhou, and you can abandon the darkness and surrender to the light in time, and in the future, I will reward you with Marshal Ming, so that you can be blessed." Ze for the descendants. ”
The six surnamed Zongzi were overjoyed, kowtowed on the spot and thanked him, and said sharply: "But if you dare to wait, you will have a treacherous plan." The army is everywhere in the coming day, don't say that there are six surnames and seventeen dock forts, even if it is sixty surnames and one hundred and seventy dock forts, there is only a dead end for the full pit! ”
The six surnamed Zongzi knelt down in fright, trembling in fear, and didn't even dare to say it.
Zhe De Lan detained the six surnamed Zongzi as hostages, and ordered the whole army to go south, and the general asked how to deal with the five forts, and Zhi De Yan said: "If the three forts are complete, and there are seventeen dock forts to echo, it is very tricky." But now that the three forts have gone to the second, and the seventeen chain dock forts have all surrendered, then there is only one lonely fort left, which is not a problem! ”
A team of soldiers was sent to recruit hundreds of local people surnamed Wubao, and blocked the entrance and exit of Wuhui Fort Wuhui, and then the other soldiers and horses continued to move south.
This way can go smoothly, the seventeen dock fort of the local tyrants and guò through various ways, inquired that day the son of the patriarch surnamed Zhang brought the news is true, the heart is even more frightened, all the way out of the people, pot pulp food, has been sent to Tang County, at this time there is a military report behind the chase, but it is the five back of the fort of the general from the mouth of the surname An Minding heard that Dingzhou changed hands, the white horse switched, the soldiers in the fort mutinied, forced the general to come out and surrender.
When he received the letter, he laughed it off.
At this time, Natang County had already set up the banner of the Tang Dynasty, and when he heard that Gao Xingzhou was still in Gongji, he did not enter the city, and rushed directly to Gongji.
This Gongji is a newly established fortress, based on a military town outside the original Quyang County, the grain fortress erected, because it can take into account the east and west armies, so it is named Gongji, but unexpectedly all fell into the hands of Tiance at this time.
Two days after the arrival of Zhederan's men and horses, Yang Guangyuan's forward also arrived-he came by taking the road of Gaoxing Zhou's surprise attack, which was more circuitous, but there was no obstruction along the way, so the soldiers and horses did not come slowly.
At this time, the three generals will gather and meet for a meeting.
The soldiers and horses of the three roads are not subordinate to each other, and Zhe Deyan is the youngest and has the least qualifications, but the Zhe family has made great contributions from afar, and then he took refuge in the clan, and he is the most cronie of the three; Yang Guangyuan is old, but he has not made great contributions since returning to the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Mai does not value him very much, and it has only changed after going north; Gao Xingzhou has just made a great achievement, and Zhang Mai seems to value him very much, but he does not dare to be arrogant when he returns for the first time.
The three of them pushed for a long time for the sake of the lord's belonging, and finally listened to Zhao Pu's construction, and then pushed Yang Guangyuan to the position of the main general. If there are less than three people, it will be Zhao Pu's turn - he is in charge of civil affairs and public opinion work, and he can be regarded as the head of the staff during the use of troops, as for An Zhihu, Liu Yan and others, they are standing on the periphery of the four.
Zhede Ran's way to open up the road from Flying Fox to Dingzhou, Zhang Mai's army can go south at any time, and the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment that originally went deep into the enemy's territory was immediately settled, and the three armies and divisions were even more ambitious!
Gao Xingzhou said: "As soon as the Gongji Cang succeeded, he sent someone to send back the good news, and now the marshal has probably received the news." How to use the troops next, I wonder what instructions the two marshals gave when they left? ”
Zhao Pu said: "The marshal means that Yan Yun has long been prepared, and before Du Chongwei's morale collapses, it will be difficult to succeed without a strong attack, on the contrary, Hebei is internally empty, and we can use this as a stronghold." Attack to the east and south at the same time - to the south, it is to force the Yellow River with a cavalry army, and make a direct attempt to take Luoyang, in order to deter the world; To the east, it is to deter the defenders with soldiers, and move Shilin with morality, in order to swallow Hebei! At the same time, it is necessary to leave a group of men to defend Dingzhou. This is where our food is, and there is no room for loss. ”
Gao Huaide stood at the foot of the hall and shouted when he heard the words: "Fight Luoyang? I'll go! ”
Gao Xingzhou shouted: "Bastard, here is a place for you to speak?" Go down! ”
Gao Huaide looked at Zhe De and Zhao Pu, these two people were not much older than themselves. But he can talk eloquently in the hall, but he has to stand in the hall, he can only listen but not speak, and he is even unconvinced.
Zhao Pudao: "Now the marshal should already know the situation here, but in the same way, Du Chongwei's side probably also knows." We need to guard against Du Chongwei's attack from the south, so the troops who attack need good generals. The task of those left behind is not easy. According to the humble opinion, taking Hebei needs a complete force, and now the white horse cavalry is the first to arrive, and the troops are the most recuperated, and it is suitable to go out first, which is one of them. When attacking the city, the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment was far and famous, and it had just abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. It can not only deter the states and counties, but also serve as an example for the states and counties to surrender and achieve the effect of going down without a fight. And with the strength of the white horse, even if Du Chongwei goes south, the white horse will have the power to fight, and third. ”
He was proposed as a staff officer. But it is precisely because he is a staff officer and does not command the troops and horses, so this time he said that the three generals were all obeyed, and then thought that Zhao Pu came from Zhang Mai. Most of this arrangement also includes Zhang Mai's instructions, so they all nodded and agreed.
Gao Xingzhou said: "In this case, I will reorganize my troops and horses and attack at any time." ”
Zhe Deyan said: "The cavalry below has arrived, the crossbow has reached more than half, and the follow-up men and horses can all arrive within three days, and I will go all the way south to threaten Luoyang!" ”
Yang Guangyuan said with a smile: "Well, the mountain road in the west is difficult to walk, most of my department is still on the road, and it will take at least seven or eight days to get there, so I will sit here and guard the rear for the two of you!" As for the state and county government affairs obtained, Zhao joined the army, but you will have to work hard. ”
Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "Where you dare, where you dare!" In the place where talents gather in Hebei, I don't know how many Confucians and eunuchs there are. I'm just a posterity, and I can only ask for talents on behalf of the marshals and ask them to serve the country! ”
Yang Guangyuan said hehehe: "Why should Zhao join the army! He naturally knows that even though Hebei is talented, but in this situation, if the people of Shilin want to take refuge in Tiance, they have to take the road of Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu is in this position, humble and powerful, if he uses his wrists properly, he will be able to get an unlimited amount of political capital for himself in the future.
Following Gao Xingzhou's introduction to Liu Yan for Yang Guangyuan, Zhe Deyan and Zhao Pu, the three of them were full of praise for Liu Yan's righteous deeds, and at the same time said that they wanted to write to Zhang Mai to ask for Liu Yan's seal.
When the pork was finished, everyone laughed.
"It's finally time to send troops!" Gao Huaide choked his head and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if I had listened to me, then we would have more than one mutual aid warehouse." ”
Zhi Deyan was stunned and said, "What do you say?" ”
Liu Yan said that Gao Huaide's construction was built that day, and everyone had not yet evaluated, and there was a flying newspaper outside, but Du Chongwei was shocked when he heard that Zhang Mai attacked Dingzhou Gongjicang with a strange army, and sent Jing Yanguang to lead a heavy army south overnight, and now he has entered Pingyoucang.

Recently, some readers have opinions, to the effect that it is not to be in a hurry to end, the war is written so briefly, well, I have written it for so many years, and I have suffered a lot of bricks, and I was silently coded by the wind and rain, but this time I feel it is necessary to say a few words.
The main tone of the novel "Tang Cavalry" is about war, but fighting with the sky, the fun is endless, fighting with the earth, the fun is endless, and the fight with foreign races is endless. But the civil war is boring. Although civil war is inevitable now, I will focus on the construction of strategies and tactics before and after, and I don't want to write more about the battlefield, the scenes of my own people killing my own people, and what to do so carefully!
