"The famous Han general Chen Tang wrote to Emperor Wu: It is better to hang the head of the barbarian in the mansion of the barbarian to show that it is thousands of miles away. Anyone who openly offends the strong Han will be killed no matter how far away! This means that we should hang the severed head of the barbarian in the barbarian's house.
On the Jie Street where they live, let them know that we will kill the enemies who dare to invade the powerful Han Empire, no matter how far away they are. Now don't say such cruel words as 'No matter how far away we will be,' I ask you.
, since the Hulu invaded the south, they trampled on our Han territory for thousands of miles, ravaged and killed tens of millions of our Han people. Can this bloody shame be repealed?"
The sun was already setting, and the blood-stained clouds were smearing the sky wantonly. Xu Huai picked up the flashing bag in his hand, stared at the first batch of generals who had gathered on the school field to prepare for the attack, and asked questions like a roar.
"It's not snowing, it's not snowing! It's not snowing!"
A deafening roar erupted from the camp, reaching the sky.
"At this time, the barbarian troops have not retreated. From the Huaihe River to Yanshan Mountain, as the sun and moon shine, thousands of miles of Han and Han villages have become places where the barbarians live and wreak havoc. The old people in Jingdong, Jingxi, Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hebei are still
Struggling and groaning under the iron hooves of the Hugo, struggling for breath, tell me, is the war over? Can we put down our swords and guns and negotiate peace with the Hugo?
?”
"The war is not over yet, weapons and swords must not be released!"
"Can we take a piece of so-called bullshit 'peace agreement', let go of the dogs and horses that trample our Han soil and kill our Han people, and return to our hometowns to till the fields and hoe our children and grandchildren with peace of mind?"
"You have trampled on our Han natives and dogs before they are all punished, and you have killed our Han natives and dogs before you are expelled. Don't let go of your swords and guns. Don't let your swords and guns go!"
"Okay," Xu Huai pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed to the north, and roared, "We have trampled our Han land and the red barbarian dogs have not yet been killed, and we have slaughtered our Han people before all the red barbarian dogs have been driven away. Listen to my order: North
Enter and kill the enemy!"
Fan Zongqi, the deputy commander of the first town of Jingsheng Army, Fu Liang and the commanders of all the capitals, Du Yuhou, and the commanders all drew their swords and roared in response at this moment:
"We have trampled our Han territory and the red barbarian dogs have not yet been killed. We have not yet expelled all the red barbarian dogs from our Han people. At the end of the day, the general will receive an order from the envoy: march north and kill the enemy!"
"We have trampled on our Han territory and the red barbarian dogs have not yet been killed. We have not yet expelled all the red barbarian dogs from our Han people. I have received the order from the envoy: march north to kill the enemy!" The roar of the first general of Jingsheng's army shook the sky, and the sound of his voice was heard loud and clear.
The loud roar of the eagle is in harmony with it.
When Fan Zongqi and Fu Liang led the troops from the first town of Jingshenghou to break camp and move north, Xu Huai had no time to delay here. Surrounded by Zhang Xiongshan, Liu Shiwang, Chen Songze, Wang Jun and many guards, he left the first town of Jingshenghou.
After arriving at the town camp, we rushed to the second town camp without stopping.
In order to paralyze the latent clique and the Red Husbands, Xu Huailing's generals and generals have been highly cooperative in the past three or four months. In the past three or four months, the newly formed Jingsheng Army has been seizing the time for training, so it is naturally difficult to prohibit "submitting the enemy without fighting".
spread of ideas.
Although when Marquis Jingsheng was reorganized, he immediately set up a number of junior military command schools based on towns to organize the middle and lower-level military officers and generals to strengthen their studies. However, it is inevitable that there will be some slack among the generals.
.
Therefore, no matter how urgent the war situation is, Xu Huai must personally participate in the mobilization work before the army departs...

"Can you come with your envoy's order?"
At dusk, in front of the camp at the foothills of the northern part of Huoshan Mountain, dozens of people rode fast horses galloping
Come. Generals such as Wu Sanrong, Xiao Xuan, Sun Yanguan, and Xu Teng, who had been waiting at the gate of the camp for a long time, saw this scene. Without waiting for the visitor to jump off the horse, they eagerly came up to meet him, grabbed the reins, and asked.
"Is Princess Xiao here?"
The visitor took down the mailbox behind him and asked.
"You grandson, you are so meddlesome! Can't we accept the military order?" Xu Pang cursed anxiously, holding the visitor's horse, and strode directly to the camp gate.
Xiao Yanhan, Yin Peng, Shi Hu, Sa Luhe and other generals wore armor and reined in their horses and stopped inside the gate.
"Has the envoy made up his mind?" Xiao Yanhan looked at the envoy and asked with uncontrollable excitement.
"The red-hudged dogs of our Han people have not been exterminated, and the red-hued dogs of our Han people have not been expelled. The princess of Junzhu sent an order to select the generals and generals of the vanguard army to know: Arrive at the mouth of the Peishui River before dawn tomorrow, and raid the floating ferry to capture the soldiers.
, Cut off their retreat across the river!" The messenger knelt down on one knee, raised the letter box containing the order, and presented it to him.
The Jingsheng Army was mainly stationed along the Longshu River. From the Longshu River, they rushed north to the floating ferry at the mouth of the Peishui River where the main force of the Chihu people retreated north. It was a distance of two hundred miles??????????????
??Remain.
Even if the army is equipped with a large number of mules and horses to serve as foot power, the most optimistic estimate is that it will be tomorrow afternoon before the first batch of horse infantry can arrive at the scheduled battlefield.
Once the army here is dispatched, the enemy will know the news almost at sunrise tomorrow.
The horse infantry only relies on horses to maneuver quickly, and is not good at mounted combat. When entering the battlefield, it still needs to dismount and form a formation to fight. If the Jingsheng Army simply relies on the Jingsheng Army to send troops from both sides of the Longshui River, not only will it fail to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack, it will even be defeated.
The elite cavalry of the Red Husband seized the opportunity to attack head-on.
Not to mention that the Chihu people had an extra half day to prepare, and they didn't know how many troops they could redeploy from the north bank to the south bank to participate in the battle.
At present, the Red Husbands are south of the Huaihe River. In addition to 30,000 infantry, there are also 8,000 elite cavalry.
They wanted to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack and create a battlefield environment for their troops, mainly elite infantry, to advance in formation for the subsequent arrival. They could only rely on the elite cavalry, mainly cavalry, at a closer distance.
They made a sudden advance at night.
Therefore, the front army and other supporting combat forces were selected as the real surprise force. They were not in Longshu River, but had long been assembled in the south of Lu'an, which belonged to Huoshan County and was located deep in the northern foothills of Huaiyang Mountain in the upper reaches of the Pihe River.
Moreover, the core goal of selecting the vanguard force and other supporting forces to launch a surprise attack is not to hope to defeat all the enemy forces on the south bank at once, but to penetrate them before the enemy forces are fully prepared and completely or partially destroy the prisoner connection.
Floating ferries on the north and south shores.
Although the specific battle plan has been discussed repeatedly for a long time, the timing of sending troops is too difficult to grasp, and the withdrawal of the Japanese troops and the rearguard plan are also subject to change at any time.
Therefore, the generals who had secretly gathered in Huoshan long ago, after learning that the soldiers on the south bank had almost retreated, waited all the time for Xu Huai to send a message from Shucheng.
After all, in addition to the 8,000 elite cavalry, the Red Husbands also had 20,000 to 30,000 infantry south of the Huaihe River. If the troops and horses on both sides could not cooperate well, it would be difficult to achieve the campaign goal of complete annihilation.
However, if the delay continues, once it is confirmed that the number of prisoners on the south bank is further reduced, they will have no choice but to dispatch in advance. Fortunately,
They still waited for Xu Huai's order in time and knew when the main force of Jingsheng's army would be dispatched...

After being on tenterhooks for more than a year, after learning that the main force of the Japanese troops had withdrawn from the west of Shouchun to the north bank of the Huaihe River, Gu Fan was in a rare good mood and held a banquet for Deng Gui and other generals at his residence, and even specially called the theater troupe to the house to join in the fun.
"Where's Marquis Deng? Why haven't you come back yet? You're not hiding again, are you? Although Marquis Deng has a high status and we shouldn't be disrespectful, today is so special and it's difficult to ban alcohol in the army. Prime Minister Gu can't call him Deng.
Hou has a chance to cheat at the wine table today!"
After everyone was drunk, they realized that Deng Gui had left the table for quite some time after receiving the news.
In the early years, the Youxuanwu Army was formed based on the Forbidden Xiang Army on the South-Jingxi Road. In his early years, Gu Fan served as the military envoy of the South-Jingxi Road and had a considerable influence on the Youxuanwu Army, not to mention the subsequent Shenwu Army.
The remaining troops were incorporated into the Youxuanwu Army, which was mainly promoted by Gu Fan.
Therefore, it is difficult to say that Gu Fan's influence and control over the Huaidong Army (right Xuanwu Army) is slightly lower than that of Deng Gui.
This was also the key to Emperor Shaolong and the Qiandi faction regarding the Huaidong Army as their direct descendants. It was definitely not just because Deng Gui had correctly taken a stand on several key events.
However, Deng Gui was still nominally the supreme commander of this army with a total force of 50,000 elite troops.
In terms of military status alone, although Deng Gui is not as good as Xu Huai, Gao Junyang, Gu Jiqian and others, he is definitely not lower than Zhang Xin and Liu Yan.
Deng Gui had a good nature and got along harmoniously with the Chuzhou generals. Everyone saw Deng Gui leaving the table for a while and was making a fuss about asking people to search for him. However, they saw Deng Gui wearing armor and with a serious face walking in with someone.
"Where did Deng Hou just go? Why did he turn around and change his armor? Is there any battle left to fight now?" Someone asked with a smile and raised his wine glass.
Deng Gui ignored the others, raised his hands to Gu Fan who was full of doubts, and said, "I just received an emergency military report. I'm afraid the situation may have changed. Please step aside and speak..."
Gu Fan was a little tipsy, and suddenly woke up. He glanced at Deng Gui and the strange-looking middle-aged man beside him, motioned for the others to continue the banquet, and asked Deng Gui and the people he brought to follow him to the study to talk.
After walking into the study and sitting behind the case, Gu Fan asked about the identity of the person behind Deng Gui: "Who is this? Where did the urgent military information come from?"
"Jingxiang Road has appointed Jiang Ping, the military intelligence staff officer of the Appeasement Department. Following the envoy's order, he came specially to see Prime Minister Gu!" Jiang Ping stepped forward and saluted.
"Chen Fan! Come in!" Seeing that Deng Gui brought people from Beijing and Xiang into his study without saying hello in advance, Gu Fan suppressed the panic in his heart and called out to the guard commander who was standing in front of the corridor to come in.
No matter what Deng Gui's intentions were, he did not dare to talk to Deng Gui and Jiang Ping alone in the secret room at this juncture.
"What are your orders from Prime Minister Gu?" Chen Fan opened the door and poked his head in. He glanced at Gu Fan first and then greeted Jiang Ping, "Jiang Qian, you have worked hard all the way! If you have anything to do, talk to Mr. Gu slowly.
Don’t worry about anyone coming to disturb you…”
Hearing these words from the commander of his guards, Queen Gu Fan's spine went cold at this moment...
