Chapter Forty-Eight: The Great Army Conquers
The Chu Xia Salvation Association took control of Tanyang City.
Because Wei Tianhe was familiar with the situation in Tan Yang City and his prestige, he became the president of the Tan Yang Branch of the Chu Xia Salvation Association.
Tan Yangcheng was thriving and vigorous under the governance of the Chu Xia Salvation Association.
Feng Qingluan asked people to mobilize the people, and the land around Tanyang City was distributed to the poor, which was supported by the people of the whole city.
Cangqing Mountain, Luo Xu's cottage.
The food in Tanyang City was continuously transported to the cottage, and a large amount of silver money was also stored.
Then, Feng Qingluan took advantage of the victory to pursue, and successively occupied several county towns around Cangqing Mountain, and each county town established the Chuxia Salvation Association, several county towns were connected from end to end, and the Qinglong banner fluttered high on Cangqing Mountain.
The fiery situation around Cangqing Mountain soon reached the ears of Xiu Nan, the county guard of Tianshuo County.
Countless letters of complaint were stacked on Yuan Xiunan's desk, and he was also deeply disturbed, after all, the taxes of several counties around Cangqing Mountain could no longer be paid to Tianshuo County.
He sent someone to repair the book and sent it to Cangyuan City overnight. Wu Shaoguang was shocked when he received his letter, and he couldn't imagine that Feng Qingluan would set off such a big storm in Tianshuo County.
He immediately ordered Qiu Chunguang to rush to Tianshuo County overnight with his letters.
Qiu Chunguang received the order, did not dare to delay, and rushed to Tianshuo County with several entourages.
Yuan Xiunan thought that Wu Shaoguang would send people to help him take Cangqing Mountain, but he didn't expect that Wu Shaoguang only sent a few people, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Qiu Chunguang naturally knew what he meant, and saw that he was a little sluggish, and he was silent on the surface.
He took out Wu Shaoguang's letter and handed it to Yuan Xiunan. Yuan Xiunan opened the letter and read it, it turned out that Wu Shaoguang ordered him to kill Feng Qingluan.
He muttered secretly in his heart, and the garrison Chai Sheng returned defeated, which showed that the charcoal burners in Cangqing Mountain were not easy to mess with.
"Qiu joins the army, and Wu Dashuai has a musket team, why don't you bring help in the war?"
Yuan Xiunan's question, Qiu Chunguang secretly scolded in his heart, when the musket team attacked Tang Canghai in Guishui County, they were almost wiped out in his hands, Yuan Xiunan mentioned the musket team, didn't he mean to humiliate him.
"The musket team is the elite division of Wu Dashuai, and they mainly protect the safety of Cangyuan City!" Qiu Chunguang held back his anger and said.
"But it's really difficult for me to level the green mountains!" Yuan Xiunan said: "Now that the Chuxia Salvation Association is famous, and the people of several counties are attached to them, how can I exterminate them!" ”
"Lord Yuan, you Tianshuo County has 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, which is more than enough to encircle and suppress the bandits in Cangqing Mountain!" Qiu Chunguang said unhurriedly.
Yuan Xiunan secretly thought, this Qiu Chunguang knew his strength. If you don't go to encircle and suppress Cangqingshan, you are afraid that Wu Shaoguang will blame you.
"Since Qiu Senjun knows the situation in Tianshuo County, then send us some food and salary, our Tianshuo County has been suffering from famine for many years, and there is no money to raise soldiers at all!"
Qiu Chunguang saw Yuan Xiunan crying poorly. said: "Lord Yuan, it doesn't matter if you don't want to send troops, think about it, Fengqingluan of Cangqing Mountain occupies several of your county seats, if this continues, you can still hold out for a few days in Tianshuo County, since our Wu Dashuai ordered you to attack Cangqing Mountain, you have to carry out the order!" ”
In the face of Qiu Chunguang's accusation, Yuan Xiunan naturally had no choice but to gather the army and march towards Cangqing Mountain.
Feng Qingluan heard the news that Yuan Xiunan was about to attack Cangqing Mountain, and hurriedly called a meeting to discuss how to fight the enemy.
Luo continued: "These officers and soldiers are just some rabble, I will lead a team of men and horses to break them up!" ”
"Brother Luo, don't underestimate the enemy, Yuan Xiunan has 20,000 cavalry, they are noble and fast!" Shao Dong said.
"Shao Dong is right, the enemy is strong, we must avoid its edge, now we have a few county seats, we can introduce them into the depths of Cangqing Mountain, split them, and break them all!"
Feng Qingluan said, remembering the scene when his grandfather asked him to study the military book hard, and he used it here.
"Feng Qingluan is right, we brought Yuan Xiunan in, and the walls are clear, so that they can't drink water or eat, they will naturally break themselves!" Kou Jingyu said.
"Our Chuxia National Salvation Army is weak, we must concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy's living forces, we must rely on the broad masses of people to crush Yuan Xiunan's attack!"
Feng Qingluan's words made everyone applaud. Feng Qingluan ordered Kou Jingyu to take the lead for a while, the purpose of which was to lure Yuan Xiunan's troops into the depths of Cangqing Mountain.
Kou Jingyu agreed, Feng Qingluan made specific arrangements for everyone's work, and ordered all the counties under his control, civilian personnel to withdraw to Luo Xu's Dazhai, and the generals to follow the Chuxia National Salvation Army.
Yuan Xiunan's army soon reached the north of Cangqing Mountain and quickly captured the surrounding county seats, but in fact, the Chuxia National Salvation Army in the county town had already withdrawn.
Qiu Chunguang hurriedly ordered someone to send the good news to Cangyuan City.
"What's the matter, Lord Yuan, these people are a rabble, how can they fight with our regular army!" Qiu Chunguang said with a smile.
Yuan Xiunan said: "Qiu joined the army, although we took a few county seats, but we did not encounter decent resistance, maybe these people have already assembled in a place we don't know, waiting for us to take the bait!" ”
"Lord Yuan, why are you so careful, we are a regular army with advanced weapons, where are these charcoal burners our opponents!" Qiu Chunguang was still proud.
Yuan Xiunan felt a little sad in his heart, he actually understood that Wu Shaoguang wanted to use Chu Xia to save the country and weaken his power.
Qiu Chunguang ordered the army to continue to advance, and Feng Qingluan must be captured. Yuan Xiunan had no choice but to obey his command.
Cangqing Mountain Road is rugged, Chai Sheng has suffered a loss, and hurriedly reminded Yuan Xiunan and asked him to be careful.
Yuan Xiunan smiled bitterly: "Now that Qiu Chunguang is joining the army, I can't control him even if I pay attention!" ”
When Chai Sheng heard him say this, he had no choice but to give up.
However, Yuan Xiunan soon found that his worries were unnecessary. The army circled in Cangqing Mountain for two days, and found no trace of the Chuxia National Salvation Army.
"Qiu joined the army, it seems that those charcoal burners have fled and do not know where to go, we still withdraw back to Tanyang, the sergeants are too tired!" Yuan Xiunan said cautiously.
"Lord Yuan, we haven't found Feng Qingluan yet, how can we withdraw the army, what Wu Dashuai wants is Feng Qingluan's head!" Qiu Chunguang was a little unhappy.
"Qiu joins the army, I don't think this is a way, we'd better sort out Cangqing Mountain and see where the Chuxia National Salvation Army is hiding?"
"Lord Yuan, how are you going to sort it out?"
"We can divide the troops into two roads, one way I and you lead, along the Cangqing Mountain West Road, one route is led by the garrison Chai Sheng, take the Cangqing Mountain East Road, we search carefully, so that those charcoal burners have no way back!"
"That's a good idea, so do it!"
Yuan Xiunan immediately ordered to go down, he led a team of men and horses to take the west road, and Chai Sheng led a team of men and horses to take the east road.
At the time of separation, Chai Sheng was a little worried.
Yuan Xiunan said: "You just have to march, they don't cherish it, why should we cherish it!" ”
Chai Sheng didn't understand what he meant, and the army immediately divided his troops into two ways and searched the entire Cangqing Mountain.
The west road is flat, the mountain is gentle, and Yuan Xiunan and Qiu Chunguang can ride horses. In contrast, the east road that Chai Sheng walked was steep and winding.
Chai Sheng suffered a big loss, and looking at the steep peak, he couldn't help muttering in his heart. But Yuan Xiunan's order had been given, and he had no choice but to move forward.
The news of Yuan Xiunan's division of troops was quickly sent to Feng Qingluan.
Feng Qingluan said with a smile: "What we are waiting for is to ask him to divide the troops!" ”
"Brother Feng, our chance has come!" Shao Dong said.
"Send an order to Kou Jingyu and let him keep harassing Chai Sheng!"
Kou Jingyu received an order to harass Chai Sheng's people non-stop.
This is a bitter pain for Chai Sheng's troops, and they may shoot dark arrows from the mountains and forests at any time.
Chai Sheng was frequently attacked and miserable.
The army has entered the green mountains and can only advance, not retreat.
He hurriedly flew a pigeon to pass the book to Yuan Xiunan, and Yuan Xiunan replied and asked him to move forward and act according to the original plan.
He thought to himself: "Didn't we exterminate the Chuxia National Salvation Army, why are we so passive!" ”
I can't even see the shadow of the Chuxia National Salvation Army.
He was so anxious that he ordered the sergeant to move quickly.
Suddenly, shouts of killing erupted!
He suddenly came to his senses, and now he is going to have a big battle with the Chuxia National Salvation Army.
Someone is coming, and they are in the middle of it.
Hearing the shouts of killing, Kou Jingyu was shocked, because Feng Qingluan had not yet given the order to attack the official army.
Someone came to report that the men and horses attacking Chai Sheng were Luo Xu's subordinates.
Kou Jingyu almost scolded.
Luo Xu saw Chai Sheng's men and horses walking near the cottage, and was afraid that the cottage would be exposed, so he led the men and horses to kill them, in order to attract Chai Sheng's attention.
But this is exactly what Chai Sheng wants.
Chai Sheng saw that there were only a few hundred people attacking, and he was immediately furious in his heart, and shouted angrily: "Even your little man, dare to fight with me!" ”
Immediately ordered to meet the enemy.
After all, the officers and soldiers have received formal training, and it is more than enough to face the Chuxia National Salvation Army, which is from hundreds of people.
Kou Jingyu knew that the situation was critical, so he hurriedly asked for instructions on whether to save Luo Xu.
Feng Qingluan saw that Luo Xu went to battle without authorization, and knew that he was going to suffer a big loss.
He hurriedly instructed Kou Jingyu not to be exposed, and to find a way to shoot back Chai Sheng with random arrows.
Countless feathered arrows shot out of the bushes, and Chai Sheng's sergeants were hit one after another.
Luo Xu took advantage of this effort and withdrew, but the sergeants under his command folded seven or eight out of ten.
Kou Jingyu hurriedly dragged him to the depths of the mountains and forests.
"Luo Xu, the encirclement we arranged is just in front, wouldn't it be a big deal for you to do this!" Kou Jingyu scolded sharply.
Luo Xu's face was full of shame.
Chai Sheng won the battle, and he was overjoyed, and immediately flew a pigeon to pass a letter to Yuan Xiunan, saying that he had annihilated more than 1,000 people in the Chuxia National Salvation Army.
And Yuan Xiunan did not encounter a single Chuxia National Salvation Army.
Qiu Chunguang said with a smile: "How many Chu Xia Salvation Army are there in the entire Cangqing Mountain, and now that the Chai garrison has destroyed more than a thousand people, I'm afraid it is their main force!" ”
Yuan Xiunan said: "After we converge, we will basically be able to clear out the bandits!" ”
"I'll definitely give you a credit in front of the big handsome!" Qiu Chunguang laughed.
