Because the rebels were coerced in time and retreated in advance under Li Shouzhen's order, the army that was blocked at Nanjintou in Fengling was able to successfully cross the river and join the surrounding Xiaodi army.
More than 20,000 officers and soldiers gathered together with great momentum, and then the problem suddenly arose, the difference between the central army and the local army. The officers and soldiers in Fengling and Nanjin were the combined armies of Jingzhao, Hua, Tong, and Shaanxi.
When we stand up, we are a "mixed army". Although there are many people, the flags are mixed.
A kind of contempt is naturally formed.
Although the Xiaodi Army has been in existence for only a year, it is a very important force in the Tokyo Forbidden Army. The sergeants are all young and strong, with a large establishment, sophisticated armor, and strong strength. Where can I see those miscellaneous troops, Tong
An Jun was a little closer because he was from the Forbidden Army.
That kind of arrogance and contempt is almost superficial and unrestrained. It is like this from the capital commander Zhou Hui down. The officers and soldiers in the four states are also angry and dissatisfied. Since the rebellion, in the west,
They were the ones who suppressed the situation, attacked the rebels, and blocked the rebels in the river. The Forbidden Army was the boss, but they only traveled a few hundred miles. What was the air?
A military meeting broke up unhappy. Of course, on the surface, it was because the generals had different opinions on the next move.
Zhou Hui felt that the rebels had retreated to Hedong City in embarrassment. They should take advantage of the situation to cover up and attack Hedong City directly. They might be able to defeat it in a single battle. Before the emperor came in person, he would take the rebel's head and sacrifice it. This person had such an idea, and he was obviously not political.
...
The generals, led by Bai Wenke, believed that the rebels were still strong and could not attack suddenly, but needed to slowly attack them. They planned to take a short break and then advance steadily. After all, Hedong City was already in sight, waiting for the follow-up armies to siege the city.
, let's make further calculations. They have been in the place for a long time, and of course they know how strong Hedong City has been repaired by Li Shouzhen. Zhou Hui's suggestion is too taken for granted.
In fact, it was still a problem of estrangement between the armies and their disobedience to the commander. Although Liu Chengyou used Bai Wenke to deploy the southwest camp, the veteran general was old and had high qualifications, but it was still a bit difficult to convince the masses. He originally controlled the officers and soldiers of the four places.
At this time, there was a stagnation, but the imperial army came and made them feel at ease.
In the end, everyone went their own way. Zhou Hui thought that Bai Wenke was too cowardly to fight, so with the support of Sun Li, the commander of the left wing, he led his small army to go north first and rushed towards Hedong City in a somewhat reckless manner.
Bai Wenke rested and reorganized the sergeant according to his own ideas.
...
On Liu Chengyou's side, he marched by land since leaving Luoyang. His speed was neither fast nor slow, showing a certain stability, allowing the soldiers of the three armies to always maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness.
On Guiyou day in July, on the twelfth day after the departure of the Tokyo Festival Banner, Liu Chengyou led the army to Shihao Town, Shaanxi Province. While resting, Xianxin, Yang Ping, Feng Dao, and Fan Zhi paid their respects in the town.
.
Due to the war, most of the young people in the town were drafted into labor force and accompanied the town general to serve in the army. It is almost certain that the story of the stone trench officer has been repeated here again.
"Is the name of this town Shihao based on Du Gongbu's "Shihao Officials"?" Liu Chengyou asked as he stood at the entrance of the town, looking westward and looking at the mountains and rivers.
"It should be!" Feng Dao's answer was a little uncertain. It would be embarrassing to ask him to tell you the origin of this town at once.
Liu Chengyou's focus was obviously not just on the name of the town. He put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and said with emotion: "The sufferings suffered by the people during the war are still among the people!"
Hearing this, Feng Dao immediately stroked his beard with an "immortal style" and said: "Your Majesty cares about the country and loves the people. He only wants to destroy the rebels, and then he can put an end to the rebellion, restore peace to them, and alleviate their sufferings!"
Glancing at Feng Dao, the contempt in his eyes was somewhat obvious. Yang Bin, who was following silently and looking a little out of place, suddenly interrupted: "When the war breaks out, everyone is stubborn and plotting rebellion. The imperial court mobilizes troops for the sake of the country and the people. If not, rebellion is rampant and chaos spreads, how much more will the sufferings of those people suffer? The world is currently in chaos and all countries are standing side by side. If your Majesty wants to put an end to the rebellion, he can only end the war with war and kill with killing. In the future, we need to fight There are still many battles ahead, so why does Your Majesty need to express such nameless emotion..."
After Yang Bin said this, the atmosphere immediately became awkward. Especially Feng Dao. Even though he often took matters into his own hands and was not afraid of criticism, Yang Bin's superficial contempt still made the old fox feel embarrassed. He When Feng Xianggong became the prime minister, you, Yang Xingke, were still an unknown person.
Yang Bin was depressed all the way, and his face became more bitter and resentful. Perhaps he had a premonition of something, and he completely let himself go. He often made some "weird talks" in front of the emperor. Although some people listened to them, some others So some truth.
Frankly speaking, Liu Chengyou doesn't have much prejudice against Yang Bin personally. He has a strong and conceited personality and a lot of poor political performance, but he has a certain ability to govern. Objectively speaking, although he has a small selfishness, he is generally pretty good. He is loyal to the country and can be regarded as diligent and simple. Compared with those corrupt and despicable ministers, he can be evaluated as "good".
In the final analysis, power is still at play. From the time when Liu Chengyou was still in the dormitory, he has been against him, and even after he succeeded to the throne, he has not restrained himself and still wants to fight for power with him. His character, Liu Chengyou, has never been weak, and the relationship between the two parties has never been weak. time, extremely conflicting.
Even so, other issues are not without the possibility of tolerance. But contempt for the emperor has always been a taboo. Even Wei Zheng did not do this, and he, Liu Chengyou, is not Li Shimin...
Feeling a little embarrassed that his show was exposed, Liu Chengyou turned his head and glanced at Yang Yan. Liu Chengyou raised his hand slightly and said, "Yang Qing's words are reasonable, but I am indeed being sentimental."
"After the Xiaodi army surrounded the thieves, I think the Fenglingjin armies have successfully crossed the river!" After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to change the topic.
Fan Zhi took the initiative to report: "The government and the army are pressing on both sides. Whether the rebels in Fengling Beijin can retreat smoothly is a question. According to reports, the rebels there account for half of the rebels. If they are defeated, they can then go to Hedong City. When it’s easier.”
"It's not easy!" Liu Chengyou's statement was a bit modest.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "The troops in front have made many achievements, and they have been eliminated and defeated, which has made the rebels feel depressed. If this continues, I may not need to go to Hedong City. The rebels have already been crowned... .”
Seeing this, Feng Dao immediately echoed: "Even if this is not the case, His Majesty is so powerful that as long as the army arrives in person, the bandits will be frightened and offer the city to surrender."
Feng Dao's flattery certainly didn't touch Liu Chengyou's heart. Even though he said so, he didn't think so in his heart.
Although it seems that the army is already victorious, and it even seems superfluous for him, the emperor, to fight in person. But after all, this is just an appearance. From beginning to end, there has not been a bloody battle. If Li Shouzhen had to huddle in the turtle in Hedong City, In the shell, how to get to the city is the climax of this battle. Since ancient times, city battles have always been the most difficult to deal with.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the river!" A serious voice interrupted Liu Chengyou's thoughts.

Turning his head to look at Zhao Yanjin, who was approaching quickly, Liu Chengyou frowned subconsciously. Feeling something in his heart, he immediately returned to the imperial camp.
In the imperial tent, Liu Chengyou quickly walked in, took the military newspaper, opened it, and started reading. A series of vertical words caught his eye, and Liu Chengyou's brows followed and frowned deeper and deeper.
"Where is the envoy?" Liu Chengyou said with a bit of anger in his tone.
"Waiting in the imperial camp!" Zhang Dejun, the chamberlain who was accompanying the army, replied.
