Yang Xuanzong and the brothers had 4,000 eastern winds of the river, plus 10,000 city defense troops in Luoyang, and 14,000 people rushed to Xingluocang.

As for how to cooperate with Qu Tutong after they arrive, this is a matter for the two of them, Yang Ming will not command remotely.

The commander of the army is like this, I will give you a rough plan, you should implement it in accordance with this plan, and how to implement it must be decided according to the current situation.

Yang Ming was sitting in Luoyang and didn't know what would happen in Xingyang, so he couldn't give a death order.

Not to mention the army of micro-manipulation, lol's hero has a total of four skills, and he can't operate them well.

So, when you're out on the march, don't think you're omnipotent, there are more people than you know.

The commander should do what the commander should do.

Shi Huaiyi, Song Laosheng, Shi Wanbao their 6,000 foot soldiers, have been stationed in Yanshi, Yanshi is the eastern gateway of Luoyang, King Wu during the war, build the city to rest Yanrong Division, which means that the army is stationed here to rest, and the name of Yanshi comes from this.

If you want to fight Luoyang, you must fight Yanshi and Yique, this is inevitable.

Xingyang County has the largest Banzhu Wharf in the canal, Shi Huaiyi and they have to cross the river from here, by the official boat, less than a hundred miles downstream is Ji County, why is Ji County so important, because there is one of the four major warehouses of Liyang Cang, so Yang Guang will send Li Jing, the Duke of the State of Xi, to sit there.

"It's freezing and it's not easy to march, and there are too many rebels in Xingyang who are hoarding in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, otherwise we could have crossed the river earlier," Shi Wanbao said as they made a fire in a hut.

The three of them Shi Huaiyi are the main generals, and no one will be unconvinced, because Shi Wanbao is also there, and the main general is the only son of his brother, who will he support?

"News is coming from the direction of Luoyang, Xuanzong and they are going to Xingluocang, we should immediately send someone to contact us, and ask Xuanzong to provide me with advice on the front line along the river, so that our army can cross the river as soon as possible," Shi Huaiyi said.

In the army, it is generally called a military position, but this time the generals who went out with the prince were all in a group, everyone was their own people, how to call them in peacetime, there was no need to change their words.

Song Laosheng frowned and said: "The march of Layue, the weather is cold, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to stand it, looking at this weather, the first snow in Luoyang this winter, I am afraid that it is coming, if my march encounters wind and snow, I am afraid that the damage on the road will be unimaginable." ”

Shi Huaiyi said categorically; "Ji Jun's letter for help, has not been broken, he has a total of less than 3,000 people, 2,000 people are guarding in Liyangcang, if you really want to fight, you can't say whether you can hold on for five days, fortunately, the rebels have delayed the march due to the cold, if I don't go in time, Ji County will be lost, what face will I see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"The prince didn't urge," Song Laosheng said, he is still not very good at this, no wonder he was killed by Li Yuan in history, if he hadn't lost Huo Yi, Li Yuan would not have had a chance to cross the river from Longmen and enter Guanzhong.

The strength is limited, why does Yang Ming still use it? Because it is your own people who go out to fight, you must use your own people.

Under special circumstances, Yu Juluo, Yang Yichen, Qu Tutong and others may not obey Yang Ming's orders, but their own people will not.

Shi Huaiyi said: "The prince is also the responsibility of the commander, how heavy is the burden, if everything needs the prince's instructions, what is the use of me?" Immediately inform the pier to prepare the ferry, and let Xuan Zong send a cavalry army to cover the shore, and we will board the ship tomorrow. ”

On both sides of the Yellow River, it is not possible to land anywhere, and to cross the river, it is not that I can take a boat from this end and directly cross the other bank, but after boarding the boat, I will find a suitable landing site, and Jijun is the most suitable.

There is a difference between the wharf, the ferry wharf such as the Longmen Ferry in Guanzhong, the Pujin Ferry, which can directly cross the other side, but the Banzhu Wharf is not a ferry wharf, it is a trade wharf, the main function is to handle all kinds of goods and soldiers through the canal to transport, has great strategic attributes.

The dock is just outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and it is still firmly controlled by the imperial court.

In peacetime, the wharf is under the management of the Ministry of Industry, and in wartime, the wharf is under the supervision of the Tiger Prison guard, and the guard of the Tiger Prison Pass is the Jin Ziguanglu Doctor Yao Junsu, the personal guard of the Yang Guangjin Dynasty.

Yao Junsu was also surprised when he learned that Shi Huaiyi was going to cross the river at this time, the north wind was blowing, and it was extremely difficult for the boat to travel on the river, not to mention that he had to go more than a hundred miles downstream before he could land.

"Dispatch small boats, big boats are not easy to control on the river at this time," Yao Junsu ordered.

How many will 6,000 men get in a small boat? At least two hundred, any wharf in Dasui is not as rich as Banzhu Wharf, there are too many ships, Yang Guang used more than 5,000 boats to cruise the river, and now there are still a third of them, docked in Banzhu, because the trade with Hebei was temporarily interrupted, so the ships could not go, and some were borrowed by Wei Xuan and went south to Jiangdu.

Yang Xuanting sent his henchman Sun Kai to carry five days of military rations and lead a thousand cavalry to the north, preparing to meet the army crossing the river.

They were in charge of clearing out the rebels who harassed the fleet, and a thousand men were enough, because they were cavalry, and they could fight and run.

More than two hundred boats slowly moved downstream, the boats did not cover anything to block the wind, and the guards could only carry shields and some tattered cloaks borrowed from the Tiger Prison Pass.

The cold wind on the surface of the river swished into the necks of the guards, shivering one by one, gritting their teeth and persevering, many of whom were directly frozen to death.

With so many people under Li Deyi's command, the monitoring range naturally radiated to the Yellow River area, and after he learned of this situation, he immediately sent a force of 5,000 thieves to pounce on the Yellow River.

He thought that this fleet was going to go around their backs to pick him up.

A guerrilla war around the convoy was fought like this, with a small number of people, but it was extremely tragic.

Sun Kai was originally Yang Yue's staff, and after Yang Yue hung up his boots in the early days, his people were assigned to several brothers of Xuangan, all of whom were good at following him and Yang Su to fight in the north, and there was no cowardice.

Sun Kai didn't know how many thieves had come, but seeing that the other party didn't even have a few decent armors, what else could he say? Slapp.

Under his command, but the elite of Hedong Qu, it is not a problem to be one for ten, not to mention that Xuan Zong gave him a death order, and he must ensure that Shi Huaiyi's department crosses the river smoothly.

A person like him who was born as a retainer has only one word of loyalty in his mind.

Thousands of people were fighting on the banks of the Yellow River, and the blood would solidify as soon as it landed, and a cold corpse spread along the Yellow River.

Yang Ming, who is in Luoyang, is comfortably roasting charcoal, and he is also going to Hebei, but the premise is that Jijun must be stable, otherwise he will have no place to stay in Hebei.

"A Yellow River, separating Hebei and Henan, although the ancient and modern times continue to divert, but here has not changed, once the Wagang thieves take Ji County, they can cross the river to the south, if they join forces with the Shandong rebels, Luoyang is really not easy to defend," Fang Xuanling squatted aside, adding carbon to the stove.

The name of Hebei and Henan is because of the Yellow River, Jun is in the north of the river, I am in the south of the river, and I drink the water of the river.

Xue shrank into a ball, shook his head and said, "The people of Hebei can't trust the Shandong soldiers, and it is unlikely that they will form an alliance." ”

Why did he say that? Because the soldiers in Hebei have always been very fierce, but Shandong is almost meaningless, and the quality of the soldiers in the north is the worst in Shandong, don't look at their tall horses.

Of course, this is the Sui Dynasty period, and it has nothing to do with later generations.

Why? Because Shandong is located in the hinterland of the North China Plain, with abundant food and no shortage of food and drink, its toughness is naturally worse than those who can't eat enough.

Whether it is an expedition to Goguryeo or a northern expedition, the Shandong soldiers have never been regarded as the main force, while Hebei is always the vanguard, the Guanzhong soldiers are used to attack the fortifications, Shanxi is good at defending, and Henan is united.

As for the Jianghuai Army, it is cannon fodder.

Although Zhai Rang is from Henan, after entering Hebei, he subdued Wang Bodang's department, and there are already many Hebei people under his command, so it is indeed unlikely that he will form an alliance with Li Deyi, unless it is a critical moment.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Anything, don't make a conclusion, there is no absolutely impossible thing, the Shandong traitors are too anxious this time, the forces are complicated, once they encounter a rout, there may be a big internal chaos, and if the scattered rebels are used by Zhai Rang, the threat is still not small." ”

Li Jing nodded and said: "Li Deyi is the commander-in-chief, his main force is in the Chinese army, if he is defeated, the momentum of his alliance will collapse, before Xuan Zong left, His Royal Highness once told him that he would find an opportunity to come." ”

"The thieves attacked the city day and night, regardless of the loss, it can be seen that its logistics have been announced, and the minister thinks that Xuan Zong's surprise attack on the enemy's Chinese army is a matter of the past few days," Du Ruhui analyzed.

Yang Ming's main force could not set off until Shi Huaiyi stood firm in Ji County, and now was the only chance, because Zhai Rang's army had not yet begun to attack Wei County, the capital of Ji County, but was nesting in Tangyin, Neihuang, Dunqiu, Yaocheng and other counties.

Because it's too cold, I can't get out.

This was actually a huge miscalculation, if he had Li Mi by his side, Li Mi would definitely persuade him to take Weixian immediately, so as not to have a foothold for officers and soldiers on the north bank of the Yellow River.

People have a habit, that is, thinking about themselves and others, and using their own ideas to scrutinize the thoughts of others, Zhai Rang thinks that I can't go out because I'm cold, and the officials and soldiers must be the same.

You've only been reading for a few days, huh? I have read all the ancient art of war.

Once Shi Huaiyi successfully entered Wei County, it was equivalent to providing landing support for the army, and I could hold on without delaying time, and when the army arrived one after another, the situation would be turned around in an instant.

And Li Deyi is no longer within Yang Ming's scope of concern at the moment, because the other party has also made a mistake, and he will be cut off from Xingyang instead of Xingluocang.

If there is no food, many people will starve to death, they will not be able to enter Xingyang, and many people will freeze to death.

In the cold winter wax moon, it is not easy to survive normally, let alone go out to the army. (End of chapter)
