Chapter 136: The First Year of Zhengshuo
In the county seat of Tongshan in Huaibei, the county seat with ten rooms and nine empty rooms was filled by the swarming Tianlong Army, but in the direction of the north gate, Zhang Fei led 3,000 soldiers and horses to drag the long dragon, and under the gaze of the 20,000 Tianlong Army, he drilled into the stretching mountainous area in the north.
The generals of the Tianlong Army are as heavy as water, as if the sky at this moment, gloomy and terrible, after the Green Forest Army and the Security Army were wiped out, the land of the two counties suddenly poured into the coalition army of several counties, the Pang family was okay, Pang Qingshan also brought back three hundred cavalry, and finally the whole army was not wiped out, plus the people also went back, although they were robbed of a lot of interests, but they finally left a breath of vitality.
The poor Wang family was not so lucky, they were gnawed clean by the families, and finally, they were still reading for the sake of "colleagues", and they also left the other party's back house, but afterwards, there were many Wang family girls who became the concubines of these generals.
Divided the Wang family, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the county coalition army entered Tongshan County again, this time there were far more soldiers and horses than last time, but in Jishui Town, they still hit the head and broke the blood, and attacked for three days, but Zhang Fei was caught off guard from the rear of Daqing Town, and after the first battle, the soldiers went to the third.
At this time, the Tianlong Army in the west took advantage of Zhang Fei to go to the eastern front, captured Pangu Town again, and penetrated deep into the territory of Tongshan with great momentum, Zhang Fei converged with Sima Yuan, but left a small number of soldiers and horses, and the main force of soldiers and horses rushed to the western front again.
With 6,000 soldiers and horses, left and right, but the soldiers and horses on the north bank of Huaishui were killed with rivers of blood, and countless casualties were killed, but as the soldiers and horses of the counties in the rear came one after another, step by step, advancing layer by layer, Zhang Fei's mobile combat of this army was more and more free of room for maneuver, and finally a few days ago. Sima Yuan escorted the last group of Tongshan people south, while Zhang Fei led 3,000 old battalion soldiers and horses to ambush and kill in Tongshan County for a while, delaying the other party for several days. Only then did he calmly retreat and burrow into the mountains.
However, Zhang Fei drilled the mountains and forests, but the war was just kicked off, Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses fought hard for more than two months, successively annihilated the soldiers and horses of the three counties, and then broke the allied forces of the counties, annihilated, and captured more than 20,000 people. Mobilized the soldiers and horses of more than a dozen counties in the north of Jiyang Prefecture in the territory of Tongshan.
It can be said that the rear of the counties on the north bank is extremely empty, and Zhang Liao naturally seized the opportunity and mobilized all the ships under his command to prepare to launch a counterattack on the north bank.
The first snow on the Huai River. Falling like goose feathers, Huaishui will usher in a short ice age, the cold north wind through the mountains, blowing on the Huaishui River, but this ice cold can not cool the blood of the tens of thousands of Chu troops who are ready to go.
Hebei. After nearly two months of renewal, the two provinces of Huainan have rebuilt their order, and the army has experienced initial discomfort. Under the role of generals at all levels, the evolution of peace has finally been completed. and carried out a preliminary ordnance replacement.
Although the original equipment of the forbidden army in Qingzhou was also high-quality equipment, it has been since it went south. There are few supplements, most of them are tinkering, and then they are a batch of customized armor replacements of similar styles, but this time, it is a unified change of 300,000 Qingzhou forbidden troops.
From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and although such a replacement costs a lot, the effect is very obvious, wearing Chu armor, wearing Chu clothes, the implementation of Chu army salary and welfare in the army, reformulating the meritorious service system, and implementing meritorious awards, everything is in line with the Chu army, it can be said that this change is inside and out, although it cannot erase their former identity, but it is another identity branded on them, they are already the Chu army, a soldier and horse that is not subordinate to the Tianlong Empire.
The Tang army in Heze Mansion was surrounded by tens of thousands of Chu regiments in Zhuzhen, besieged for several days, the whole army fought to the death, and was buried on the nearby hills, Zhao Yun waved his army to Zicheng again, against 100,000 Tang troops on the front line of Yunhe.
At the end of the year, a short period of peace was ushered in.
In the fifth and sixth year of Tianlong, Da Chu ended the Jianye year and entered the first month of Zhengshuo, Leng Zhuo celebrated the arrival of Zhengshuo in the Sky Palace of Vermilion Bird City, and the whole country celebrated for three days.
The rumbling sound of firecrackers is like a war drum non-stop, in the Taiji Palace, Leng Zhuo feasted the ministers, and the entire upper and lower yamen were sealed for seven days, until the night fell again.
Peng, the fireworks exploded in mid-air, blooming with brilliant sparks in an instant, illuminating the dark sky, bidding farewell to the ministers, Leng Zhuo returned to the harem, in the main hall of the harem, and his concubines enjoyed the fireworks, drank wine, and hugged his two sons and four daughters, so that Leng Zhuo couldn't help sighing.
"What's wrong!" Leng Zhuo's queen Wei Zhilan pulled the corner of Leng Zhuo's clothes, and Leng Zhuo asked inexplicably.
Wei Zhilan bit her ears, her warm lips spit a faint smell of wine, and said: "Linglong seems to have something on her mind, after this year, General Ye will go back to the north again, and I don't know how long it will take to see each other!"
When Leng Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ye Linglong, who was a little unhappy not far away, but nodded, the Ye family was the commander of the army all the way to the north to Beihu, but because Situ Yun was greedy for merit, he was defeated on the grassland, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses died, and those who were captured were captured.
Ye Linglong and Ye Baizhan, the father and daughter, are also dependent on each other, they have been separated for seven or eight years before, and they are finally reunited again, and Ye Baizhan is going to return to the north again, this time, and I don't know when we can meet again, Ye Linglong is reluctant to give up.
Leng Zhuo can also understand it, but the overall situation in the north, but someone has to be in charge, Dolgon, Jebe, and Night Baizhan have cooperated for several years, and there is a tacit understanding between them, and in the labyrinth swamp, Night Baizhan has created a small world, Dolgon, Jebe can occupy a place in the grassland in the west and the forest in the north, thanks to this rear.
After all, in that place, the southeast is the swamp tribes, the north is the pine forest tribes, and the northwest is the Dayue tribes, and the relationship is quite complicated, if it is not handled well, it is likely that the good situation will be ruined.
And with the occupation of the Penglai Islands off Yangzhou, the navy has begun to build, and in the future, it will not be completely closed to the north, and there is no contact, Leng Zhuo thought about it, and decided to talk to Ye Linglong after the family banquet.
In the middle of the moon, the last burst of fireworks gradually dissipated, and although the city was not completely cold, most of the neighborhoods were quiet, and after the feast was dispersed, the women dispersed.
"Something on your mind!" Leng Zhuo looked at the night Linglong who was left behind, this woman was like the moon, and her beauty could only be found in the dark night.
The skin like mutton fat jade is shining with a faint milky white luster, as soft as the moonlight like water, that pretty face is heroic, resolute, faint cold, like the moon makes people difficult to approach, and there are so many months of sadness, Leng Zhuo suddenly remembered that when he was in the Shengtian Academy, on the cliff of the back mountain, under the night, looking at the moon's night exquisite, that side face, is still unforgettable.
Ye Linglong shook her head, but Leng Zhuo, who was looking at her, stretched out her hand and pulled Ye Linglong into her arms, Ye Linglong groaned softly, and the next moment, Sakura's lips were stabilized by Leng Zhuo's domineering, and the big hand reached into Ye Linglong's arms, kneading it a few times, and the painful Ye Linglong frowned slightly.
Leng Zhuo raised his head and said, "If you have something on your mind, you have something, I'm your man, what can't I tell me, looking at your faint appearance just now, I can't even hate to beat your ass to relieve my anger!"
Ye Linglong's face suddenly turned crimson when she heard this, Leng Zhuo's method can make people die of shame: "What's the matter, it's just that my father wants to go north again, and I'm a little reluctant!"
Leng Zhuo looked at Ye Linglong in his arms, frowned, and said: "Ye Shuai has been operating for me in the north for so many years, it can be said that he has worked hard, and now he has laid a foundation in the north, and he can play a big role in the future, although I know your intentions, but the north is indeed inseparable from Ye Shuai!"
"People know, even if you leave your father for me, my father won't stay, for him, that is where he can display his ambitions, where he has worked hard for many years, but when he thinks of his father's departure, he doesn't know when he will see him again, and people can't help but feel a little sad in their hearts!"
Leng Zhuo pondered for a while, and said: "Since the Penglai Islands were recaptured, our navy has also set up a shelf, and we will have to go north in the future, after all, the north produces a lot of goods, and we are in high demand, and in the future, from the maze swamp estuary to our Dachu, we will definitely have to go back and forth frequently, it is better for you to go to the navy for a temporary post, and I will allow you to be outside for half a year a year!"
Ye Linglong heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, if this is the case, then she can see her father every year, although she can see her father a few days a year, but she is very content, after all, her current identity is different, if she changes to the Tianlong Dynasty, it will be difficult for the concubine to even get out of the court, let alone lead troops outside, and she can run around.
"That's not good!" Although Ye Linglong was willing in her heart, she couldn't think about Leng Zhuo's face, she was a princess like this, and it didn't have a good impact on the royal family.
"What's wrong, Concubine Qin, Concubine Liang and they are still leading the army, I didn't take the opportunity to remove them from their military positions, besides, you are only out for three or four months every year, and most of the time you are still in the palace, the right is to go to sea to relax, no more, give you another name, who dares to chew his tongue in this matter, see if I don't clean him up!"
Leng Zhuo said very domineeringly, Ye Linglong nodded again and again, she knew that this matter was decided, and she wanted to see her father's expression when he suddenly saw her in the labyrinth swamp.
"Your Majesty, is it beautiful today!" Ye Linglong's heart opened, and she naturally opened her heart to Leng Zhuo, deliberately greeting her, Leng Zhuo was so open-minded and generous, what else could she ask for.
Leng Zhuo smiled and said, "You are also my queen of the moon, on this night, you are the most dazzling moon, although I allow you to be outside, but do you also want to give birth to a dragon son and dragon girl for me!"
Ye Linglong snorted, her eyes were full of autumn water, but she took the initiative to open her arms and put her arms around Leng Zhuo's neck, and her cherry lips came up directly, where would Leng Zhuo be polite, she kissed it directly, picked Ye Linglong up by the waist, and walked towards the couch behind.
