Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Gao Xing attacked south during the week and captured Gongjicang. Gao Huaide's youthful temperament suggested that he should attack Youcang again. Gao Xing was quite moved on Monday, but he was never a risk-taker. After thinking about it for a while, he still swayed.  Shaking his head, he said: "Except for the borders, most of the Hebei states are defenseless now. The news of our going south has not spread yet. Running hundreds of miles to capture Pingyoucang has a high chance of winning, but Pingyou is easy to capture."  It is difficult to defend, once Pingyou is lost, it will cut off Du Chongwei's food route, and he will definitely go south at all costs, how can you resist at that time?"

    Therefore, he rejected his son's advice and instead prepared to attack Dingzhou. Gao Huaide was gearing up, but since his father decided to act cautiously, he had no choice.

    At this time, Dingzhou and Tang County sent people to warn them at the same time. It turned out that they did not know that Gongjicang had changed hands. The messengers came to warn them out of good intentions, saying that there seemed to be some strange movement on the mountain road in the northwest recently, and they wanted to go to Gongjicang.  careful.

    Liu Yanchao appeased the envoy and later reported it to Gao Xingzhou. Gao Xingzhou smiled and said: "Their ears and eyes are quite sensitive, but it's a pity that they are a step too late. Now that he is here, we can do it right!"

    ——————————————————————

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I didn't mention Gao Xingzhou's army at all is that after the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment arrived in Lingqiu County, Zhang Mai summoned all the ministers and generals and announced the dispatch of Gao Xingzhou south.

    When the generals heard that they were planning to start a war with Shi Jin, they all cheered excitedly.  If he were in Longyou at this time, Cao Yuanzhong would definitely have turned to the generals and shouted that Zheng Wei, Zhang Yi, Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu and others had to worry about money and food matters, but in Yunzhou he was in charge of military and political logistics matters, and it was his butt that decided  When his position changed, his thoughts changed. He called the grain planner and asked, "How are the money and grain reserves of the various states and counties under our control now?"

    The grain planner said: "If the army eats in the city, there will still be enough food left until the autumn harvest. If the army leaves the country, it can support up to 30,000 to 40,000 people with food for one month."

    The generals frowned upon hearing this. If they wanted to attack Shi Jin, they would have to mobilize tens of thousands of troops. What's more, if they really wanted to start a war, they would probably lead Xue Fu's Northern Expedition army to the south. At that time, Yunzhou was facing the south.  The army still needs to be helped.

    The army moves.  People have always only considered food and grass as a factor of abundance. How can one month's food be enough?  I'm afraid I'll run out of food before I even take a few steps out of the pass.  If it reaches that point, as long as the opponent closes the city gates and there is no need to fight, the Tang army will have no choice but to come back in despair.

    Liu Heihu said: "According to this statement, we can only wait until after the autumn harvest?"

    Zhe Degu interjected: "It's time for the autumn harvest. I'm afraid it will be difficult. The land has suffered a lot in the past two years. In order to rest with the people, we have just issued a tax exemption policy. How can we change it overnight? By then we will have broken the trust of the people."

    Nowadays, compared to Shi Jinlai, Tian Ce is not only more powerful in terms of military strength, but also has huge advantages in the centripetal force of the people and the credibility of the government. Therefore, he would rather suffer a defeat in a battle than break his promise easily.  Even the generals agree with this.

    Liu Heihu said: "We just have no food, but we can still get money. We broke through Mobei, broke through Shangjing, and broke through Zhongjing. We gained a lot of gold and silver along the way. In addition, with the income from the opening of the trade route, we brought from Ganliang  Although I don’t know how much there is, it shouldn’t be much less! Just use the money to buy food when the time comes. We just said we won’t tax people, but we didn’t say we can’t buy food from the people!”

    Zhe Deke shook his head and said: "After the war, there will be no good harvest! Northern Shanxi has suffered so much, and the harvest will definitely be bad this year. It would be good if the people can guarantee their own food rations! They are asked to sell the surplus food that can only make a living.  Who is willing? Who dares? If we forcefully purchase it, then I'm afraid it will trigger a civil uprising."

    In the past two years, he has traveled among the prefectures and counties in Dai and is familiar with the people's sentiments, so his words have great weight.

    Liu Heihu was greatly disappointed, although he was a fierce general.  He was extremely brave on the battlefield, but when it came to important military and political matters, he was worse than his virtue. At this time, he had no choice but to sigh again and again.

    Cao Yuanzhong said: "It would be much better if this happened in Liangzhou."

    The Tiance regime has been rooted in Ganlong for a long time and has established a good reputation. If there, the government promises to bring in grain from other places, it is possible to mobilize the powerful, clans and even the common people to keep half a year's rations and sell out half a year's rations.  , but in Yunzhou, who can trust anyone who talks nonsense?

    Zhang Mai understood what he meant, nodded, and said: "We are here, after all, our credibility has not been established. That is why we need to obtain the enemy's food. If Gao Xingzhou can get it, we can take action, otherwise everything will stop!"

    Cao Yuanzhong said: "You can't just rely on one strange army."

    "Of course we must prepare with both hands." Zhang Mai said: "Counting the days, the white horse cavalry should have been dispatched by now, and we can take action. The battalions will move south and east immediately. Li Yiyin will stationed in Yingzhou, and Bai Chengfu will stationed in Shuozhou. These two camps  Troops?On the surface, Yanmen Pass is used as a deterrent, but in fact it is used as an offense to defend, serving as the southern barrier of Yunzhou.  I led the Chinese army and marched into Ding'an County, making a gesture of sending troops eastward to intimidate Youzhou; Yang Guangyuan marched into Guangling, Yuzhou, and Zhe Deyi marched into Lingqiu, Yuzhou, as Gao Xingzhou's back-up.  In the border cities, if there is insufficient grain storage in the cities, they will be allocated from the places where there is surplus grain.  Zhao Pu followed Zhe De and went south, waiting for an opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive; Cao Yuanzhong took the middle position.  If Gao Xingzhou's major event is accomplished, the troops from the east and south routes will take advantage of the situation to enter. If Gao Xingzhou is defeated, then we will still prepare to attack and encourage the people of Hebei to wait for the internal changes in Shi Jin.  "

    Cao Yuanzhong said: "Then the chess pieces we planted in Hebei before can be used for trouble?"

    Zhang Mai said: "Yes!"

    He paused, turned to the south, and said, "I want to preach to the two rivers, who will write it?"

    Tiance's two biggest writers in the Tang Dynasty were not present, and all the people present were military generals. Zhao Pu was responsible for the public opinion offensive against Lianghe. This was also considered a series of affairs for civil servants, so he bravely said: "Although I am uneducated and have no literature,  , I am willing to give it a try."

    Zhang Mai smiled and said: "You don't need any literary talent, just copy it! Just write it like this" He said with his hand on the knife on his waist, he thought about Zhongyuan for a while, snorted and said: "Shi Jingtang, you Shatuo boy, you are not worthy  Own this world!"

    After saying that, there was silence in the tent. After a while, Liu Heihu said, "Write it! Why don't you write it?"

    Zhao Pu suddenly realized and said: "Just write 'Shi Jingtang, you Shatuo boy, you don't deserve to own this world'?"

    Liu Heihu said: "Of course, isn't this clear enough?"

    ————————————

    "Shi Jingtang, you Shatuo boy, you don't deserve to own this world!"

    This is a message.  This is also the slogan for Tiance’s upcoming move south!

    This sentence came out of Zhang Mai's mouth, and in less than half a day, it spread throughout the entire army and the entire city of Yunzhou. All the soldiers and all the people were shouting!

    "Shi Jingtang, he doesn't deserve to own this world!"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? However, it spread like wildfire through word of mouth. At the same time, thousands of leaflets were printed and sent to various armies that were already in action, and even sent out of the country.

    ————————————

    Zhe Deyi led 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 horse-riding crossbowmen, followed by 5,000 logisticians, and rushed to Yingzhou.  A few days ago, Gao Xingzhou stayed overnight at Xiaoxing, and he sacrificed a little speed when marching in the territory in order to keep secret. However, Zhe Deqing went on the road openly. The whole army only prepared rations for two days, and arrived at Yuzhou on the third day.  I went to Guangling, had a good meal and slept all night in Guangling.  Then we walked for another day to reach Lingqiu - this is the southeasternmost border county under the control of Tiance. Another county in Yuzhou - Feihu County to the east of Lingqiu is still in the hands of the Jin army.

    “As a result, when I heard that Tiance’s army was arriving, the Flying Fox guard of the Jin army packed up his bed and fled overnight!  The local gentry opened the city gate and sent people to Lingqiu to ask Zhe De to enter the city to protect the territory.  Zhe De was not polite and sent 500 cavalry that night to capture Feihu County without a single blow.

    After receiving the good news from the front line, Zhe Deqian was about to break camp and march eastward. At this time, news came from the rear: Yang Guangyuan had arrived in Guangling.

    Zhe Deku said to the envoy: "Flying Fox has come to surrender. I want to go and accept the surrender. Please ask General Yang to go south to Lingqiu." Then he led his troops eastward. Before he arrived in Lingqiu County, the rear troops of the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment also  They had already entered Shijin territory, and after collecting Feihu and asking, they found that Feihu had no idea about this.

    It turns out that Yuzhou is already on the border between Yan and Dai, heading southeast from Feihu to Hebei.  You have to cross the Wuhui Ridge, and you have to pass through the Zijing Ridge to enter Yizhou due east. These are all passes that can be defended, but Feihu faces Lingqiu and Guangling and has no danger to defend.  Therefore, the Jin army who stayed behind was very passive. Under Zhang Mai's pressure, they planned to flee as soon as the Tang army came. The generals only had the intention of fleeing, but no enterprising spirit, so they did not discover Gao Xingzhou's attack at the first time.  Abnormal.

    Zhao Pu said to Zhe De: "It has been six or seven days since the white horse cavalry entered Hebei from the southwest of Lingqiu around the Taihang Mountain path. Now even Feihu has not been found here, which shows that he is really secretive. Since Feihu doesn't know, Yizhou in the east and Southeast  Baozhou and Dingzhou in the south are mostly kept in the dark, so this surprise attack seems to have at least an 80% chance of victory!"

    Zhe De said: "Counting the days, if the forward of the White Horse Cavalry goes well, I am afraid that they will have arrived at Gongjicang by now. Send the order, the whole army will be stationed in Feihu to rest and recuperate. Tomorrow I will lead 800 troops to Dingzhou!"

    The southwest of Feihu County is Changshan Mountain, and the southeast of Feihu County is Wuhuiling. The hills and valleys between the two mountains are undulating and the road is difficult to walk. The Jin army built three forts here to defend against the danger.  After these three forts, there are seventeen more chain-connected military forts dotted among the mountains.  At the end of the seventeen chain of military forts is another important military town in Dingzhou.Tang County.

    Such terrain cannot accommodate thousands of troops and horses galloping together to fight, but it is difficult for a small number of troops to capture this chain of military forts. Therefore, this is never a good road for large armies to move——of course, compared with Gao Xingzhou's surprise attack,  The mountain road we took when we were there was much easier to walk this way.

    On the second day, Zhe Deyi brought only 400 crossbows and 400 light cavalry, and blocked forts along the way. The three fortresses at the forefront had already heard the news of Feihu's fall, and they saw the news of Zhe Deyi's soldiers all night long.  Horse, one of the defenders led his troops to escape, and the other defender led his troops to surrender. Only the one in the corner called Wuhui Fort was still resisting.

    Zhe Deku entered the empty fort, accepted the surrender, and then spread Zhang Mai's message, calling on the seventeen chain dock forts in the south to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light.

    But these seventeen chain docks are different from the previous three. The first three are stationed by stray soldiers, and these seventeen docks are from clans that have lived here for hundreds of years. Even if a million troops come, they will be intimidated.  If you don't run away from them, the Seventeen Wubao is divided into six surnames: Han, Zhang, Zhao, Liu, Gao and An. Here, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. They have always only paid taxes and food, but outsiders can't get involved in the affairs of the clan. It's somewhat  Heeding the tune but not the propaganda, Shi Jingtang's reputation in central cities and major prefectures and counties has long been ruined, but it has not harmed them here. Therefore, for the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Wubao, Shi Jingtang is still sitting firmly.  The Central Plains Emperor of Luoyang, Zhe Deke, did not have high prestige in this area, and there were still five forts on the front line that had not been broken, so the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Forts were not willing to surrender easily.

    But they are also afraid of Zhang Mai's reputation.  As early as Feihu surrendered, the six surnamed clans had already heard the news and gathered in Huatazi Village, the most critical place, to discuss countermeasures.

    A general asked for orders to attack the Wuhui Fort. Zhe De said: "I learned from the guide that the Wuhui Fort is also called the Wuhui Fort, which means 'there is no return'. It is built on the mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.  . Once we start to attack, not taking it down will damage our morale. If we try to capture it by force, it will take a long time and we will lose our troops. This is not a good strategy."

    "Then what should we do?"

    Zhe De said: "Don't worry, the success or failure of the White Horse Cavalry will depend on these two days. Let's wait for three to five days. Within three days, there will definitely be changes in the south!"

    "Then we just wait and do nothing?"

    "No, there has to be some action!"

    Zhe Deqin then sent an envoy to Huatazi Village, claiming that he was going to Dingzhou on the order of General Tiance, and asked the Seventeenth Link Wubao to use the way.

    ————————

    Among the six surnames, the Han surname is the richest and the Zhang surname is the strongest.  The two surnames Gao and An are the most brave.  The surname Liu was afraid of trouble, so his clan leader said: "If they want to use the road, let them pass! If the Khitans come, we will naturally resist, but I heard that Tiance is also a Han. They go to fight for the world. It has nothing to do with us!"

    The surname Zhang alone occupies seven of the seventeen chain forts. He is considered powerful in this area, but in terms of knowledge, he is a frog in the well.  Hearing this, he refuted: "Confused! The one sitting in Luoyang is the emperor! Those who dare to fight the emperor are traitors and traitors! The ancestors of our six surnames formed an alliance based on blood, and have always followed Zhengshuo and the king's orders! If they are the emperor  They are sent, so we dare not stop them, but they are going to attack the emperor, so how can we let them pass! Helping the rebellious ministers and traitors to rebel is a crime of genocide!"

    ?It’s undeniable.  After thousands of years of influence, the idea of ??imperial power in China has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. This is one of the reasons why far-sighted people such as Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu and even Feng Dao believe that Zhang Mai should be crowned emperor.

    At this time, the patriarch surnamed Gao said: "I heard the news yesterday. It seems that there is a big change in the south!"

    Several clan leaders changed their colors at the same time: "What big change?"

    The patriarch surnamed Gao said: "It seems that some soldiers and horses stole through the mountain road to the west. They attacked the Gongjicang. All the troops in Tang County were sent for reinforcements. I heard that some people from Dingzhou also rushed there."

    The clan leader surnamed Liu said: "I've heard it too, I've heard it too. If the troops and horses belong to Zhang and Tang, once the Gongjicang is lost, can Tang County be saved? If Tang County is lost, then what will happen to Tang County?"  We’re about to get screwed.”

    "It's nothing!" said the patriarch surnamed Zhang: "I also know what you are saying. My dog ??is leading troops in Tang County. Can I not know what you all know? But you don't have to worry! Tang County, Ding County  With the addition of Gongjicang in the state, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! The Gongjicang is well built and not easily broken. And think about it, the mountain road to the west is not as easy to walk as this one.  Although the five forts are more scattered than ours, they have been trained by General Baima! It is not easy for the soldiers and horses to pass over there! Besides, the sneak attack soldiers and horses have not yet shown their flags! Maybe they are just in the Taihang Mountains  A group of bandits broke out! It’s no big deal, no big deal!”

    The clan leaders felt slightly relieved after hearing this. They immediately listened to the words of the clan leader named Zhang and drove away the envoy of Zhe Deqi.

    This is half the timeThat day, someone rushed in from outside the village and shouted: "The young master is back! The young master is back!"

    The patriarch surnamed Zhang said happily: "My son is back!" Then he was stunned: "Why is my son back?"

    After a while, he saw his son bursting into the hall with his face covered in smoke, his shawl hanging loose, his sleeves torn, and two equally embarrassed men.

    The patriarch surnamed Zhang asked in surprise: "Son, what's wrong with you?"

    His son seemed to be in shock and shouted: "Tang County, Tang County has been lost!"

    "Falled? How could it be lost? Where did the soldiers and horses come from?"

    "They are the men and horses of Tiance's Tang Army"

    "Tiance Tang Army? How could this happen! The soldiers and horses of Tiance Tang Army are still blocked by us in the north! How can they get there? Fly over?"

    Everyone, like the clan leader named Zhang, was a little confused, but they heard his son say: "It's like this. That day, the police suddenly encountered the Gongji warehouse, and the guard sent people to ask for help. The Gongji warehouse is where the military rations are.  There was no room for failure, so our general immediately dispatched his troops to go for reinforcements. On the way, he met Dingzhou troops who were also rushing for reinforcements, so they joined forces. Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses rushed to Gongji Village, but they saw the gate of the village.  We closed the door tightly, and when we approached to call the door, suddenly arrows rained down from the top of the city. We were caught off guard, and a cavalry ambush in the forest outside the village suddenly came out and disrupted our army's position. At this time, the gate of Gongjicang Village  Open wide, soldiers and horses rush over, and under attack from both front and rear, our army is defeated. We have no choice but to retreat to Dingzhou, but who knows that the enemy is so cunning that he has captured Dingzhou!"

    "Take Dingzhou?" The patriarch surnamed Zhang shouted: "That's the city of Zhou! It's not that easy!"

    "Father doesn't know! That day, Dingzhou heard that there was a change in Gongjicang, and almost all of them came out. As a result, the enemy had already ambushed another group of troops on the road, and they only waited for Dingzhou's troops to dispatch. Then they attacked the city! I'll wait for you.  Unable to get in, he fled back to Tang County. Unexpectedly, the magistrate of Tang County, seeing that the situation was not going well, actually surrendered the city. The son didn't know what to do, so he simply fled back home. "

    The clan leaders of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Fort were all shocked when they heard the news. This area was placed under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou.  Therefore, the change of hands in the state and city was like a collapse of the sky to them.

    The patriarch surnamed Zhang said: "What kind of powerful person can do such a big thing!"

    "Yesit's Gao Xingzhou with a white horse and a silver spear!"

    "What!"

    There was a loud roar in the whole hall, and everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces, but "that's it"!

    The Changshan area where Gao Siji once settled is not far from here. He taught his students there and established a great reputation. Gao Xing was a general of Shi Jin.  At the beginning, he led the central army to pass through Dingzhou, so the powerful people in Hezhou were in awe of his reputation!

    " If someone else did this, the powerful people in the hall would find it incredible, but if it was the legendary White Horse General Gao Xingzhou, everyone would take it for granted. Even the Tang County magistrate's surrender upon hearing the news was regarded as natural.

    After everyone was frightened for a while, they couldn't help but ask: "How could it be him! Isn't he a general of the Jin Dynasty? How could he attack Gongjicang and attack Dingzhou?"

    "I also heard that he is dead! He committed suicide for his country! Only before, someone from Changshan came over and said that the emperor had given the Gao family a reward!"

    "Isn't it a mistake?"

    "How can this be!"

    The son of the patriarch surnamed Zhang didn’t know who to answer among the crowd’s chaotic inquiries. It wasn’t until the patriarch surnamed An shouted loudly that he suppressed everyone.  Pointing at him, he asked, "Is your news true?"

    "Of course it's true! I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be untrue! The leader who rushed out of the forest that day was a young general riding a yellow gelding. I felt familiar at the time. Later, when I arrived in Dingzhou and saw the other party showing his flag, I  I remembered that it was Gao Huaide, the young master of the Gao family - when they passed by Dingzhou, I was ordered to go and greet them, yes! And the one who went to take Dingzhou City was Liu Yanchao, the former general of Gongjicang - if  If it wasn't for him, how could he easily deceive the gate of Dingzhou? When we arrived at the gate of Dingzhou City, he was standing at the top of the city. I have seen this General Liu three times and I will never admit his mistake."

    The hall suddenly fell silent. These local tycoons in Dingzhou did not have a big vision of the country, but the state's military knew about it. They all knew that Liu Yanchao was Gao Xingzhou's old subordinate. If Gao Xingzhou hadn't come forward, who could motivate him?

    As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local tycoon. In the minds of the local tycoons of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Wubao, no matter how powerful Zhang Mai is, he is still out of reach, but Gao Xingzhou's reputation is something they can really feel, not to mention the current opponent.  He also took refuge in Tiance and attacked Dingzhou, so everyone was frightened and panicked.

    Suddenly, the patriarch surnamed Liu cried loudly and shouted: "Sure enough, I am going to be made a dumpling. What should I do now? What should I do now?"

    When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and thenCome on!  Seeing that Zhe De's army was in the north and Gao Xingzhou's troops were in the south, they would attack from both sides.  How can a mere Seventeen Wubao resist it?

    In fact, if Seventeen Wubao can unite as one, even if Gao Xingzhou and Zhe Deku really attack from the north and south, it will take a lot of effort to remove them one by one. However, in this situation, the whole hall is full of fear, and everyone  Fear.  This is because under the influence of the general trend, people are so excited that they lose their reason and courage.

    For a moment, some people were in panic, some were stunned, and some were trembling, but they heard the patriarch surnamed An shout loudly again: "What are you afraid of! Are you afraid of a bird! The envoy of Tiance must not have gone far yet, let's invite him  Come back and agree to give way, right?"

    When everyone heard this, a light flashed through their hearts. The patriarch Zhang said anxiously: "Yes! Quick, quick! Go and intercept this person!"

    After the people sent out to chase went out, the patriarch surnamed Liu said again: "As the saying goes, this moment is the same as that moment. Just now we were not willing to agree. Now, I am afraid that if we just give way, the other party may not be willing to comply!"

    Everyone felt reasonable and frowned. The head of the Zhang family originally had a tough attitude, but she felt that it was hopeless.  His heart turned to the other extreme. At this time, he was extremely afraid and said: "If you just refuse to give way, then we will lower our attitude. Give them what they want! These people who are fighting for the world,  They won’t look down on our hilly people, they’re just passing through here and there. Just send them away. Even if your family is ruined, you only need to keep the land, and after a few years of hard work, you can get money and food back."

    Everyone felt that it was justified, and after deliberation for a long time, it was finally decided that the eldest son of the sixth surname would follow Zhe De's envoy to the army to plead guilty.  And he is willing to lead the way and build a bridge to send Tiance's army across the border.

    When the envoy sent by Zhe Deyi arrived at noon, he was turned away lukewarmly by the people of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Wubao. He was chased back in the evening and was served with wine and meat all night. There was also a  The young lady named Zhang came to warm the bed. He made some insinuations and learned that the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment had succeeded in the south.  I felt great joy in my heart, and if I didn't feel happy, I wouldn't be happy. After finishing my joy, I took my eldest son of the sixth surname back to the army the next day.

    When Zhe Deku and Zhao Pu heard that the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment had succeeded, they looked at each other with ecstasy in their eyes. After Zhe Deku had been practicing for so long, he was no longer the young man he was when he first went north.  At that moment, he remained calm and collected the local products and gold and silver contributed by the six surnames, and said: "I have been ordered by the marshal to go to Dingzhou to meet General Gao Xingzhou. If you can abandon the secret and turn to the light in time, I will report the reward to the marshal in the future.  You, let your blessings reach you and benefit your descendants."

    The eldest son of the sixth surname was overjoyed and kowtowed on the spot to thank him. Zhe Deqing said sharply: "But if you dare to wait, you are hiding a treacherous plot. In the future, the army will be everywhere, not to mention the six surnames and the seventeenth Wubao. Even if it is the sixty surname, one hundred and seventy  In Wubao, there is only one way to die!"

    The eldest son of the sixth surname was so frightened that he knelt down, trembling with fear, even saying that he did not dare.

    Zhe Deku then took the eldest son of the sixth surname as hostage and ordered the whole army to go south. The general asked what to do with the fifth fort. Zhe Deku said: "If the three forts are complete and there are seventeen forts echoing each other, it will be very difficult."  Troublesome. But now that two of the three forts have been lost, and all the seventeen chain forts have surrendered, there is only one lonely fort left, which is not a threat!"

    A team of soldiers was sent to recruit hundreds of local civilians named An Wubao, and blocked the entrance and exit of Wubao on the 5th day, and then other soldiers and horses went south one after another.

    This journey was going smoothly. The local tycoons of the Seventeen Wubao used various channels to find out that the news brought by the son of the patriarch surnamed Zhang that day was indeed true. They were even more frightened and tried to help Hu.  He was carrying food in his basket and sent Zhe De to Tang County. At this time, a military report came after him. However, it was the generals of the Wuhui Fort who heard from the civilians surnamed An that Dingzhou changed hands and Baima switched sides. The soldiers in the fort  They immediately mutinied and forced the generals to surrender.

    Zhe Deku received the letter and laughed it off.

    By this time, Natang County had already set up the banner of the Tang Dynasty. When Zhe Deku heard that Gao Xingzhou was still in Gongji Village, he rushed directly to Gongji Village without entering the city.

    This Gongji Village was a newly built fortress built on the basis of a military town outside Quyang County. It was named Gongji because it could take care of both the east and west armies, but unexpectedly, all of them fell into the sky.  In Ce's hands.

    Two days after Zhe De's troops arrived, Yang Guangyuan's vanguard also arrived - he came by Gao Xingzhou's surprise attack route, which was more circuitous, but there were no obstacles along the way, so the troops arrived not too slowly.

    At this time, the three generals gathered together and met for a meeting.

    The three soldiers and horses do not belong to each other. Zhe De is the youngest and has the least qualifications, but Zhe's family has made great contributions from afar, and later the whole family joined him. He is the most trusted among the three; Yang Guangyuan is the senior, but he has returned.  He had not made great achievements since the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Mai did not think highly of him. He only changed his mind after he went north. Gao Xingzhou had just made great achievements, and Zhang Mai seemed to think highly of him, but the general who had just returned did not dare to act recklessly.  respect.

    The three of them are for the sake of the main positionAfter pushing for a long time, finally listening to Zhao Pu's suggestion, Yang Guangyuan was pushed to the position of commander-in-chief, followed by Gao Xingzhou and Zhe Deke.  With three people below, it was Zhao Pu's turn - he was in charge of civil affairs and public opinion work, and was considered the leader of the staff during the military deployment. As for An Zhihu, Liu Yanchao and others, they stood on the periphery of the four.

    Along the way, Zhe Deyi opened up the road from Feihu to Dingzhou, so that Zhang Mai's army can move south at any time. The White Horse Silver Spear Regiment, which was originally deep into the enemy's territory, immediately became convinced. When the three armies reunited, they became even more ambitious!

    Gao Xingzhou said: "As soon as Gongjicang succeeded, he sent someone back to report the success. Now the marshal has probably received the news. How to use the troops next? I wonder what instructions the two marshals gave before leaving?"

    Zhao Pu said: "The marshal thinks that Yanyun has been prepared for a long time. Before Du Chongwei's morale completely collapsed, it would be difficult to succeed without a strong attack. On the contrary, Hebei is internally empty. Now that we have Gongjicang, we can use it as a stronghold. To the east  , and the south attacked at the same time - to the south, a cavalry force was used to force the Yellow River, with the power of taking Luoyang directly, in an attempt to frighten the world; to the east, it was to use troops to frighten the defenders, to move the scholars with morality, and to try to frighten the world.  Devour Hebei! At the same time, we must leave a force to guard Dingzhou. This is where our food and wages are, and there is no room for loss."

    Gao Huaide stood in the hall and shouted after hearing this: "Fight Luoyang? I'll go!"

    Gao Xingzhou shouted: "You bastard, is there a place for you to talk here? Get off!"

    Gao Huaide looked at Zhe Deku and Zhao Pu. They were neither much older than him.  But I can talk freely in the hall, but I have to stand in the hall, I can only listen but not speak, I am very dissatisfied.

    Zhao Pu said: "The marshal should already know the situation here, but similarly, Du Chongwei's side probably also knows. We need to prevent Du Chongwei from attacking south, so the attacking troops certainly need good generals. The task of those who stay behind is not light either.  In my humble opinion, taking Hebei requires a complete force. Now the White Horse Cavalry is the first to arrive, and the troops are the most rested, so it is suitable to go out first. When they attacked the city and captured the territory, the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment was famous and famous, and they had just abandoned the secret and surrendered to the light.  It can not only deter the states and counties, but also serve as an example for the states and counties to surrender, achieving the effect of surrendering without a fight. Furthermore, with the strength of the white horse, even if Du Chongwei goes south, the white horse will still have the power to fight.  Third.”

    He made suggestions as a staff officer.  But precisely because he was a staff officer and did not command the troops, all three generals accepted this suggestion. Furthermore, it was recalled that Zhao Pu came from Zhang Mai.  Most of this arrangement also included Zhang Mai's instructions, so everyone nodded and praised it.

    Gao Xingzhou said: "In that case, I will prepare my troops and attack at any time."

    Zhe De said: "All my cavalry have arrived, and more than half of the infantry and crossbows have arrived. All the follow-up troops can also arrive within three days. I will go south to intimidate Luoyang!"

    Yang Guangyuan smiled and said: "Well, the mountain road to the west is difficult to walk. Most of my troops are still on the road. It will take at least seven or eight days until they are all here. Then I will sit here and guard the rear for you two!  As for the state and county government affairs that have been obtained, Zhao joined the army and I will help you."

    Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you! Hebei is a place where talented people gather. There are so many great scholars and eunuchs. I am just a young boy. I can only ask for talents and talents on behalf of the marshal, and ask them to serve the country!"

    Yang Guangyuan said hey: "Why should Zhao join the army to be too modest?" He naturally knew that even though Hebei was very talented, under the current circumstances, if everyone in Shilin wanted to join Tiance, they would have to follow Zhao Pu's path.  If he uses his weight properly, he will be able to gain unlimited political capital for himself in the future.

    After Gao Xingzhou introduced Liu Yanchao to Yang Guangyuan, Zhe Deyi and Zhao Pu, the three of them praised Liu Yanchao's first righteousness. At the same time, they expressed their intention to write to Zhang Mai to request Liu Yanchao's title. These three people started talking.  , Liu Yanchao knew that he had stood his ground under the new master, and was naturally overjoyed.

    After the pork was divided, everyone laughed.

    "We can finally send out troops!" Gao Huaide said sadly: "It's a pity, it's a pity. If you had listened to me, then we would have had more than one mutual aid warehouse."

    Zhe De was stunned and said, "How do you say that?"

    Liu Yanchao told Gao Huaide's suggestion that day. Before anyone could comment, a flying report came from outside. However, it was Du Chongwei who was shocked when he heard that Zhang Mai had attacked Gongjicang in Dingzhou with surprise troops. He sent Jing Yanguang to lead the heavy troops south overnight.  , has now been stationed in Pingyoucang.

    Recently, some readers have opinions.Well, after so many years of writing, I have been hit with too many bricks. I used to let the wind and rain beat me and write silently, but this time I feel it is necessary to say a few words.

    The main theme of the novel "Tang Qi" is that it is about war, but fighting against the sky is endless fun, fighting against the earth is endless fun, and fighting and winning against foreigners is also endless fun.  But Civil War is boring.  Although civil war is inevitable now, I will focus on the construction of the front and rear strategies and tactics. I don’t want to write too much about the battlefield. I don’t want to write about the scene of my own people killing my own people. Why write so carefully!
