The morning light is faint, and the Yongji Canal outside the famous city.

It has become the base of the Youzhou Navy here, but on the river surface that is dozens of zhang wide, thousands of sails are like clouds, and the mast is like a forest, covering the sky and the sun.

On the bow of the ship, the battle flag of the naval army with the word Zhao Zi is fluttering.

Hundreds of flat-bottomed tugboats were heading north along the Yongji Canal to Daimyo, carrying nearly 50,000 stone of grain and grass from the Liyang Cang, and supplying them to the army of more than 100,000 people. The continuous supply of grain in Liyang's warehouse not only greatly saved Li Chongjiu's current insufficient reserve of military rations, but also took the waterway from Liyang to Daimyo, which was far more convenient than taking the waterway from Youjing to Daimyo, saving the turnover of thousands of miles and saving the waste of manpower and material resources.

It can be seen from this that the capture of Liyangcang is of great significance to Li Chongjiu's strategy of Yuzhou this time.

In the midst of a grain ship, a dozen ships with ramming horns in their bows slowly moved slowly on the river. The battleship had three decks, and was much larger than a two-deck grain ship, both for people and for cargo.

Surrounded by flat-bottomed tugboats, the warship, which was a head taller, was moored to the pier on the Yongji Canal.

There was already a cadre of General Zhao Jun waiting on the dock. On the wharf, the auxiliary army and the temporarily conscripted civilian servants were carrying grain and rice from the grain ship, and everyone was very busy.

Finally, the warship docked at the shore, and Zhao Jun dozens of leather armor foot soldiers, holding shields to the dock to guard, while blocking the view of outsiders.

Seeing this scene, the boatmen, sailors, and the servants on the dock couldn't help but look sideways, wanting to see who was coming, such a big battle.

But then another grain ship arrived. Everyone couldn't help but get busy again.

After the ship docked, Li Chongjiu. Xue Wanshu and Li Wenxiang disembarked from the ship. On the shore, Zhang Xuansu, Guo Xiaoke, Li Deyi and other Zhao military generals greeted them in person.

Li Chongjiu looked at the Daimyo Wharf, unloading grain up and down, and was very satisfied with this busy scene, and asked Zhang Xuansu at the moment: "How is the Damyo City on guard?" ”

Zhang Xuansu heard Li Chongjiu say this, and immediately knew that Li Chongjiu was concerned about the safety of the army hoarding grain and the important land. At that moment, Zhang Xuansu said: "Since Liu Heimin abandoned the Daimyo, our army of 20,000 men and horses has been stationed in this city, as well as Guo. The two generals Li set up a formation on the bank of the Lishui River thirty miles away. Daming City is absolutely secure. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded, and at this time, a general stepped forward and said, "Li Deyi, meet King Zhao." ”

Li Chongjiu helped the other party up, and said warmly: "This time Xiaoke is advancing so much, it is really unexpected, and this is thanks to Li Qing's help." ”

Li Deyi lowered his head and said, "King Zhao praised, but he didn't dare to take it. ”

"Deserved," Li Chongjiu looked at Zhang Xuansu and said, "Li Qing's reward." Has the Zhongshu Province come down? ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "It's not so fast. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Don't wait, Lone first issued an edict to crown Li Qing as the Marquis of the Plains." ”

Li Deyi immediately thanked him. Guo Xiaoke saw that Li Deyi was rewarded on the side, and his face was quite proud, but he didn't seem to have the slightest praise for himself as the main general. There was some surprise.

"Please also invite King Zhao to enter the city to rest." Zhang Xuansu said.

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said, "No need, I will leave Xue Wanche behind, and Tudiji will lead 15,000 people." Guarding Liyang and monitoring Henan. as well as Yu Culture and Li Tang. So this time it was brought from Liyang. Although our army has the support of Liyang military rations, this place must not be taken by Liu Heimin, otherwise it will repeat the mistakes of the battle of Yuan Cao Guandu. Come with me and look around the city. ”

Li Chongjiu inspected the city defense of the daimyo, and the granary was built in the city, and the military rations transported from the wharf were continuously transported from the east gate to the granary. The granary is closely guarded on all sides, and the preparation for setting fire and moisture is also very thorough.

This qiē is thanks to Zhang Xuansu, who has been presiding over military affairs in the famous city.

Xue Wanshu asked, "Dare to ask if the king is preparing to use the Daimyo as the location of the camp for the first battle against Zhaozhou?" ”

Li Chongjiu asked rhetorically: "Why does Xue Qing think so?" ”

Xue Wan said: "With the daimyo, there are three benefits to the base camp, one is that the daimyo is by the Yongji canal, which is convenient for water transportation, mobilizes soldiers and horses, and transports military rations; Second, the geographical convenience can be connected to Liyang in the south, Linqing in the west, and Weizhou in the east; Third, the granary is here, and it should be guarded by heavy soldiers. ”

Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "When I attacked the big camp in Zhaozhou, I was not in Daimyo, but in Zhaozhou. ”

Xue Wanshu asked in surprise: "Does the king want to personally abbot this battle?" ”

Li Chongjiu asked rhetorically: "Why not?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said on the side: "Your Majesty, the attack on Zhaozhou is not a matter of one day or ten years, and Weichen thinks that it is better to send a general to do it for him." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "The battle of besieging Zhaozhou is related to the success or failure of Hebei. ”

Speaking of this, the generals on the side spread out the map in front of Li Chongjiu, Li Chongjiu pointed to the sheepskin map with a horsewhip, and said: "Liu Heimin stationed heavy troops in Yongnian City and built a strong city, if our army wants to attack Yongnian City, we must first sweep the periphery, erect it as a lonely city, and then strike together." According to the plan, the main force of our army will continue to attack Xuzhou in the north and south with Xu Shiji. ”

Xue Wan said: "Your Majesty, although Li Shentong is defeated, Li Tang may still intervene in the affairs of Hebei. ”

Li Chongjiu was a little on the map, and immediately said: "Pass the order, let Ying Hefu lead 30,000 cavalry, take Wu'an for me, cut off Li Tang's reinforcements from the direction of the party, and tie up my pockets!" ”

The autumn wind is getting colder, and this Zhaoxia war has dragged into October.

The north and south of the Yellow River ushered in the early winter, and piles of dark gray clouds pressed the earth low. At dusk, winter rain began to fall in the sky, and the gray rain and mist shrouded a bare forest, and the old trees stood gloomily in the rain, and the cries of jackdaws were heard from the branches from time to time, which was particularly desolate and cold.

The 3,000 rooms of the beggar academy were the cavalry of the Xi department, marching in the rain.

Qi Ashu has always been glad that all the horses of the Xi cavalry were nailed to the horseshoe, otherwise in the previous season, the war horses would easily rot their hooves.

"Stop!"

Qi Ashu touched the raindrops on his face, and looked around vigilantly, at this moment the rain gradually stopped, the sky became darker and darker, the surroundings were pitch black, and the whole land was completely shrouded in a misty gray mist.

"What's wrong with the military master?"

"No, it's getting quieter and quieter along the way, and there is not even a figure, which is too strange." ”

The generals on the side reined in their horses one after another, and one of them said: "The military master is very careful, I think it's okay." ”

Qi Ashu reprimanded: "How many battles have you fought? You know, this Han land doesn't have to be on the grassland, and it won't be so inhabited for hundreds of miles, not to mention that I heard that this Wu'an County is a place with a large population in the Han land. ”

"Drive!"

A fast horse galloped in, and it was none other than the cavalry scout of the Murod Xi Division.

"Captain! On the other side of the mountain, there were many torches, as if people were also hurrying in the rain. ”

After listening to the order, Qi Ashu ordered the cavalry of the Xi Division, led all the horses into the forest to hide, and led his light cavalry to investigate in the distance.

Beggar came to a valley full of dense forests and looked up, but saw on the hillside, soldiers dressed in gray clothes, holding torches, like a long dragon marching on the hill.

Beggar Ashu said: "This road of people and horses, I'm afraid they are enemies and not friends!" ”

"Do you want to avoid it?"

"This road came from the south, and it came from the north with us, but it went to the west together, and obviously it was also going to Wu'an. In this way, eighty percent are the men and horses of the Xia army. ”

The generals listened and said: "Go to Wu'an, so to speak, their thoughts are the same as ours, they want to rob Wu'an." ”

"That's right, since we met them on the road, we can't let them go." ”

As the forward of the 30,000-strong army of Yinghefu, he was lightly mounted by the Xi Department of the 3,000 rooms, and encountered Zhang Junli's troops of the Xia army reinforcing Wu'an on the way.

The two armies met on a narrow road halfway through. Beggar Ashu followed the night, hiding and suddenly ambushing Zhang Junli's troops.

The two armies fought fiercely in the rain for an hour, but the ambush did not go smoothly, it was very dark, and the two armies fought with their own torches, and they were in chaos. After fighting for a while, each realized that it was wrong, so they broke away from the battle, and after paying the price of more than 100 dead and wounded on each other, they did not take advantage.

So the two armies camped separately.

After dawn the next day, Ying Hefu led the main force of the grassland cavalry to the vicinity of Wu'an City. After he heard that the Xia army also intended to seize Wu'an, he immediately sent 10,000 horses to seize Wu'an City, and he led the main force to meet the Xia army with Qi Ashu.

20,000 grassland cavalry lined up in the east of Wu'an, while Zhang Jun's troops had less than 5,000 men.

Zhang Junli retreated to camp in a narrow part of the valley, so that Inghefer's superiority in strength could not be developed, and the two armies fought fiercely from morning to evening, for four hours in a row, and the killing was dark.

Just when Zhang Junli died heavily, and Ying Hefu was about to break through Zhang Junli's camp. Liu Heimin led the Xia army to arrive with reinforcements from Zhouzhou, and attacked on the flank of the Yinghe Fu Department, when the wind and rain were like obscurity, and the sky suddenly rained heavily, and after learning that Liu Heimin's reinforcements arrived, Zhang Junli's soldiers were also desperate to fight back wildly.

Yinghefu's department was torn open from the flank by Liu Heimin, and Yinghefu knew that he was invincible to the enemy, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the cavalry of the Murod Xi Department withdrew from the battlefield by night.

Liu Heimin defeated Ying Hefu in the Battle of Wu'an, but Ying Hefu sent 10,000 cavalry to break through Wu'an City.

However, Liu Heimin defeated the grassland cavalry of the Xia army's feared tigers and wolves in the Battle of Wu'an, but it gave the Xia army a shot in the arm, and also gave the Xia army, which had been losing its division and land, a chance to breathe.

Although Ying Hefu was a small setback, he also conquered Wu'an, so he sent the guilty plea and the defeat of Wu'an to Li Chongjiu together.

At this time, Li Chongjiu led 20,000 horses and horses, and was advancing to the city of Handan, which was the key point in Zhaozhou.

After learning the battle report of the Battle of Wu'an, Li Chongjiu was worried and happy, and the result of the Battle of Zhaozhou was a strategic victory for Li Chongjiu, but a loss was a tactical victory. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
