Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With Wang Xiongdan as the forward who penetrated into Hanzhong, Li Chongjiu had greater control over the Southern Route Army.

    There are 50,000 troops in the South Road army. There are 30,000 soldiers and horses belonging to Song Jingang's Imperial Guard. There are also 20,000 Xiao Mian's former Jiuliang subordinates, barbarians and auxiliary troops.

    This group of troops will first attack Shangyong, and then enter Hanzhong from Shangyong Trail.  You must know that this trail is not easy to walk, and it is difficult to advance and retreat.  As the Art of War says, if you cannot defeat the enemy quickly, it will be very difficult to return.

    So since ancient times, except for the Chu State that destroyed the Yong State, not many people have walked this path.

    But just because of this, it can achieve the effect of a surprise weapon.

    The Tang army¡¯s defense in Hanzhong was very weak, which was a favorable opportunity.  Of course, the soldiers and horses along this route must have the courage and courage of Deng Ai to defeat Shu, and Wang Xiongdan can serve as the forward.

    As the saying goes, a battle without extraordinary soldiers cannot be called the use of troops.

    It can be imagined that two thousand miles away, the army on the southern route was secretly advancing through mountains and rivers, while in front of Li Chongjiu, a hundred thousand elite troops were crossing the river in a steady stream.

    The three divisions of the Wu Wei Army, the Tun Guard Army, and the Hou Wei Army are the backbone of Zhao Jun's army. This time they were transferred from Henan to Hedong to fight again.

    After Li Chongjiu¡¯s ship landed, the military rations transported from Liyangcang also arrived on a steady stream of grain ships from the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

    The rice bags were unloaded from the cabin and carried to the dock.  Thirty thousand civilians recruited from Hebei are transporting grain and grass to the city.

    But the rice bags were piled high on the shore.  If Tang Jun saw this scene carefully, he would most likely conclude that Heyang City was the food storage camp where Zhao Jun switched from water to land.

    The city of Heyang City was built by Li that year.  When Li Yuanji's army came to attack, he fought fiercely with Su Dingfang here.  Su Dingfang had three thousand defenders.  They fought against the Tang army's 120,000 troops for several days.  Later, after the Tang army retreated, they destroyed Heyang City.  Later, when Li Chongjiu attacked the Turks, Heyang City fell again and the Tang army took it back.

    Now it has fallen into the hands of Zhao Jun again and has become an important frontline town.

    After getting off the boat, the first thing Li Chongjiu did was inspect the Heyang city defense.  As an important place for grain storage, how could the general not come and inspect it personally?

    During the initial attack, Li Chongjiu ordered people to secretly build a large granary in the city.  Now go through it again, whether it is fireproof, waterproof or moisture-proof.  This granary is in very good repair.

    Li Chongjiu was very satisfied at the moment and rewarded Cang Cao in Heyang City with a hundred taels of gold for joining the army.

    Then Li Chongjiu said to Cheng Mingzhen, the naval commander behind him: "Heyang City is an important place for our army to store food. We must not lose anything. If I decide to hand over this city to you to garrison, what will you do?"

    Hearing this, all the staff accompanying Li Chongjiu looked like they were listening.

    This is also a duel between the emperor and his ministers. After hearing this, Cheng Mingzhen said quickly: "Your Majesty has made great plans. It would be best if the Weichen navy guards Heyang City."

    Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "I'm just asking what you mean. I haven't made a final decision yet."

    Cheng Mingzhen said: "Your Majesty, the inland navy of the humble minister cannot take another step into the Yellow River after arriving at Heyang. Rather than being unable to go up the river with your majesty to join forces in Chang'an, it is better for the navy to stay in Heyang City and take care of it.  This town. If you want to guard Heyang City, you must first guard the north city and set up more lookout posts on the land. It stretches for fifty miles, and then the navy warships are discharged. They cruise upstream to prevent Li Tangzhou's division from attacking the city in floating boats from upstream.  "

    After hearing Cheng Mingzhen¡¯s answer, Li Chongjiu smiled and asked: ¡°What do you think of Governor Cheng¡¯s answer?¡±

    Ji Chuan said: "Wei Chen feels that Governor Cheng, your prelude is appropriate."

    Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Okay, I think so too. Since this is the case, I will hand over Heyang City to you for guarding. This is where my 200,000 troops store food. We must not lose anything."

    "If a humble minister loses Heyang City, he will be willing to serve as a military commander."

    After Cheng Mingzhen said that, Li Chongjiu immediately said: "Xue Wanche, after Xu Shiji's 100,000 troops crossed the river, he ordered people to immediately dismantle the Heyang floating bridge. Then ordered Xue Wanshu, Wang Bo led 20,000 horses to guard Luoyang, Meng Jiigong led 10,000 troops to guard Nanyang, and monitored them respectively.  The Tang army's movements at Tongguan and Wuguan."

    After hearing the edict, Wang Bo, a member of Zhongshushe, immediately drafted an edict and issued it.  Li Chongjiu took the jade seal and raised his hand and said: "Send the message immediately!"

    After the Wuya ship arrived, Yang Ehuang and Li Ying also landed from the ship. Li Chongjiu rested for the night in Heyang City.

    After getting up the next day, the servant outside reported: "The three generals Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche, and Shan Xiongxin have already led their troops to Heyang."

    After hearing this, Li Chongjiu said: "Let them see me immediately."

    After Li Chongjiu put on his military uniform, the three eldersWill come to see you together.  The three of them all looked tired from the journey. It was obvious that they crossed the Yellow River overnight and it was very hard.

    Li Chongjiu saw him and immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.  Soon several pots of steaming hot mutton soup were served. After Li Chongjiu pushed the food, the four of them had a very happy meal.

    Xue Wanche said at the banquet: "Our armed guards have crossed the Yellow River last night. Now that they have rested and recuperated, they can move forward immediately. I sincerely request your Majesty to order our armed guards to be the vanguard."

    Shan Xiongxin and Xue Wanche cursed from the bottom of their hearts after hearing what Xue Wanche said. The three armies had just crossed the Yellow River last night, regardless of each other.  It had only been half an hour, and Xue Wanche said that he was done with his rest. There was no need to do this in the fight for the vanguard. He was too anxious.

    Of course, since the crusade against the Turk Xue Wanche, Xue Wanche's armed guards have always been the vanguard and have made the most military exploits.  If there are six generals in the Zhao army, who is the most domineering, except Xue Wanche.

    Not only that, the soldiers under Xue Wanche were also very aggressive, and they fought to be the first to prevent others from getting them.

    But Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin refused to give in, and immediately said: "The generals and horses have also rested and can go at any time!"

    The three of them were in a stalemate, each fighting for the lead, which made Li Chongjiu difficult to deal with for a while.  Li Chongjiu immediately said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, everyone, I have already made an idea about the vanguard candidate. Xu Shiji will be the vanguard.'

    Xu Shiji immediately cupped his fists and said, ¡®Thank you, Your Majesty.  The general will definitely fulfill his mission.  ¡®

    During the meal, Zhang Xuansu rushed in excitedly and said: 'Your Majesty, Yuchi Jingde led a large army to capture Shangdang and captured one of its third-rank officials, more than 60 officials, and nearly a thousand soldiers.  Now the army has descended from the Taihang Mountains!  ¡®

    'OK!  'Li Chongjiu couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and said with a happy face, 'Yuchi Jingde was so lightning-fast that he defeated the Shangdang so quickly.  ¡®

    Having said this, Li Chongjiu turned around and said to the generals: 'Three days ago I ordered Xue Wanjun, Li Yuan and Li Yuanji to attack Hedong together.  Now that Yuchi Jingde is out of Taihang, the war situation in Hedong is a two-pronged approach.  ¡®(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
