Chapter 4 The road is like crossing a mountain
This is not the first time that Mrs. Chu has written to him to ask for something.
He has asked for supplies and weapons several times, and he can give them as long as he can.
Then she had to start asking for soldiers.
I asked for more than two soldiers.
The last time was not long ago, 50,000 soldiers and horses were asked to support Linzhou, the reason was to exonerate the Zhenwu army, which was simply unreasonable.
There is Jiannan Dao to support Linzhou, how can he give the credit to others?
But this time, she said she was going to fight the capital.
Capital! Han Xu felt that his chest was hot, of course it was not because Mrs. Chu Guo's letter was in his heart.
Her husband is now fighting against Shi Chao, and An Kangshang is also attracted to transfer troops and horses to encircle and suppress him in person.
An Qingzhong was in Linzhou with soldiers and horses.
At this time, it is very risky to fight the capital, but it is also the rarest opportunity.
Although this woman is greedy for money and lustful, she is very powerful in defending the city, Huainan Road is what she single-handedly defeated, and she also bravely galloped to the aid of Yizhou.
When others said this, Han Xu could not take it seriously, she said, Han Xu couldn't help but be moved.
She went all out to attack the capital, and she needed soldiers and horses to protect her.
"This battle is a great achievement, Han Langjun, are you willing to join hands with me to conspire?"
After recovering the capital, Da Xia's Qianqiu achievements will be able to be brought back again, what else does he Han Xu want in this life?
For the sake of this matter, not to mention sending the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao to Mrs. Chu Guo, what is wrong with sending all the soldiers and horses of the World Guardian Dao over?
It's just that this battle is secret, and the opportunity is to attack it by surprise, and he can't explain it to these officials.
"Don't talk about it." Han Xu pushed these officials away with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly, "I have my own opinions on this matter, and I will communicate with Governor Li." ”
An official said: "My lord, let's communicate with Master Li San first." ”
"The old lady of the Li family is crying and rushing to deliver news to Master Li San." Another official added, a little gloating, "Master Li San has already come to Shannan Road on the way, and he has brought soldiers and horses." ”
It's okay to communicate with Li Mingyu, but when dealing with Master Li San, Han Xu also has a headache and can't make sense.....
That would be unreasonable.
"What is he doing with his troops? It's okay to visit your mother, but if you do something else, how can you use it for your own sake? Han Xu was cold, flicked his sleeves, "If you come, take it for me!" ”
The officials glanced at each other, okay, regardless of whether Li Mingyu has made meritorious service or not, now that he has left Jiannan Dao, Han Xu is about to occupy Jiannan Dao, and the Wenchen in this troubled era is also getting bigger and bigger...... Especially with a lover with a bigger appetite.
This lover is different from other women, other women want clothes and flowers, she wants money, soldiers and horses, and the number of a city.
If you don't have two guards, you can't afford to raise them.
The officials don't care, the world is already in chaos, and it doesn't matter if the defense is chaotic, and it can't be managed if it can't be managed.
When the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province left Shannan Province, An Qingzhong's soldiers and horses had just fought with the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province in Linzhou.
An Qingzhong asked the soldiers and horses sent by An Dezhong to garrison and intimidate Linzhou, and he led his troops away, but he didn't go far before he was intercepted by the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road.
"Treacherous Jiannan Dao." An adjutant general spat blood fiercely, "There was an ambush behind us." ”
There were about 10,000 soldiers and horses in the ambush of Jiannan Dao, so it would not scare them back and block their way, but it took two days to rush over, and it was really annoying to lose some soldiers and horses.
Another lieutenant general looked back and couldn't help but sigh: "The soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao are really powerful, they have been silent in the past few years, and as soon as they make a move, their prestige has not diminished back then." ”
I thought that Li Feng'an was dead, and the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao would collapse.
There was a general next to him who didn't like to listen to it, and sneered: "What? Jiannan Dao is powerful? Aren't we good? ”
The previous general also had a bad temper, and shouted: "You are powerful, now turn around and kill all the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao." ”
The other generals watched happily.
An Qingzhong was hugged and walked over and asked what they were talking about.
"They're talking about the strength of the soldiers and horses in Jiannan Province." A general who watched the excitement replied first, with a bit of intentionality.
If one general dies, there will be more soldiers and horses under the command of other generals.
In this kind of world, no one dislikes the soldiers.
The two generals who quarreled turned red and looked a little afraid, An Kangshan is a very cautious person, and he hates others to say bad things about him the most.
To praise others for being good is to speak ill of yourself.
An Qingzhong's young fat face smiled: "It's great, it's good, the thieves will keep them by their side, and the trouble is that we have some trouble here in Linzhou, and if we leave Linzhou, they won't be able to trouble us." ”
The lieutenants understood, and laughed wildly: "That's right, if the tiger is chained up to guard the home, it is not a beast, but a domestic dog." ”
Family dogs are not a threat to them.
An Qingzhong smiled and said: "Don't worry about this matter, this is all expected, if Jiannan Dao does not set up an ambush, this king will not dare to go forward, they are amazing, don't we also come over?" So it's still us. ”
The generals raised their swords and guns one after another, brandished and shouted: "The prince is mighty!" ”
An Qingzhong said: "We will be more powerful in the future, let us be invincible and cut the mountains and seas and go straight back to the capital!" ”
After leaving Linzhou, they will go straight to the capital through the Hedong River and Henan, and the rebels can't occupy the defenders and can't take it back, so it has simply become a chaotic place that no one cares, and bandits are rampant and horse thieves are kings.
The arrogance of the bandits and horse thieves is never aimed at the rebels, and when they see them, they will only stay away, and even take the initiative to open the way for them.
As for this part of Henan Province, although it is controlled by the loyal army, there is no need to worry.
The location of Henan Province is relatively lucky, the hinterland of the Central Plains, the rebels in the west are busy fighting Linzhou, the rebels in the north have the capital and have no time to go south, and An Dezhong in the west of Zhejiang is separated from it by three guards, so it has not suffered a large-scale attack except for the rebellion of the guards in the state capital of the three or three two states in the territory.
The Henan Provincial Observer also failed to control the entire provincial government, and the Henan Provincial Guards were scattered in all directions, each supporting the city and not listening to the dispatch, so Henan Province never participated in the campaign.
If there are rebels passing by, they will close the gates, if you don't fight me, I will treat you as if I didn't see you, if the guards pass by, they will eat and drink well, and treat each other well, but they will not give any assistance to soldiers and horses.
For An Qingzhong's soldiers and horses, as long as they wave the banner, passing through here is also like a no-man's land.
With the waving of the flag, An Qingzhong's army strictly organized the army, like a tide.
......
......
At the beginning of February, on a hill outside Huang County in the northwest of Henan Province, the soldiers and horses lurking behind the rugged rocks looked vigilantly at the foot of the mountain, and two teams of soldiers and horses galloped past at the foot of the mountain.
"This is An Qingzhong's vanguard." The leader stood up and said, "Sure enough, they came." ”
The other soldiers were discussing, "You came back from Linzhou so soon?" "Didn't I hear that you're still fighting? How did so many people come back? "Did you win or lose?"
But winning or losing had nothing to do with them, and one of the soldiers stood up and said, "Let's go and report quickly, so that the city here is closed and the soldiers and horses retreat." ”
This is also their usual practice, but this time, the general led by him spit out the dry grass in his mouth, his eyes were shining and sharp, and he reached out to make a downward slashing motion.
"Nope." He said, "Signal the beacon fire and kill this vanguard." ”
The soldiers looked frightened, what? Really? Why?
......
......
The sound of fighting came from far ahead, and the ground shook like thousands of troops, but in reality it was just a small valley ahead.
The forward generals who had the banner of generals and the banner of King Zheng beside him looked stunned, looking at the forward battalion that was retreating one after another, seeing the tragedy of the battle and the heavy casualties, he thought that the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao in Linzhou had ambushed here.
But the banner of the soldiers and horses rushing out of the valley is indeed the banner of the loyal army of the Henan Provincial Guard.
"Kill!"
The soldiers who collided with each other swung their broadswords and spears, piercing each other, or being cut in half by the opponent, blood splattered everywhere, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams and cries shook the sky.
None of the guards who rushed out retreated, and only rushed forward with the corpses of their comrades under their feet, regardless of the ferocity of the hungry tigers descending from the mountain.
"My lord, my lord, we can't stand it!" An adjutant ran over and shouted.
Needless to say, the forward general also saw that he had brought 300 soldiers and horses, and now there were more than 200 casualties, and the entire vanguard battalion was disabled......
And the other party still doesn't know how many soldiers and horses are hidden.
The last time they passed by, they didn't see any soldiers or horses.
The soldiers and horses of Henan Province have actually been deployed here, and the target is obviously them!
The soldiers and horses of Henan Province dared to ambush them!
"Retreat." The forward general said, his eyes flashed with a hint of shock, "Quickly report to King Zheng, the soldiers and horses of Henan Province are crazy." ”
......
......
"Lieutenant! Are you crazy? Why fight the rebels! ”
In a city at the back of the valley, a general shouted as he looked at the young man who walked through the door.
"I didn't hear the Observation make your Excellency do this!"
Zhong Qi snorted, and the dimples on his handsome face flashed: "Of course, it's to make meritorious contributions to the observation envoy, what else do you need to tell you?" ”
