Of course, Fang Xiaoyue is not the kind of person who likes to eat alone. After everyone discussed it, they immediately pickled the head of Tongdas Khan in salt and sent it to the capital together with his seal to report his merits.
The memorial to report the merits was written jointly by everyone, with Fang Xiaoyue taking the lead, and Li Qingshu and others also sharing some of the credit.
After reporting to the capital, Li Qingshu's troops immediately turned around and prepared to go to Tietou Valley to support the Northwest Army.
Fang Xiaoyue did not go with Li Qingshu this time. Instead, he led the county soldiers back to Qiongshui County and asked the people of Qingshui County who were squatting in the valley and smelling bad to return to the county seat.
However, Fang Xiaoyue left the work of reorganizing the county seat of Qiongshui County, replanting crops, etc. to the chief bookkeeper Qian Yushui.
If he stayed, he would be of little use. It would be better to go to support the Northwest Army and try to push back the barbarians as soon as possible.
In that case, it can not only reduce the losses caused by the barbarians to Green Plains Province, but also be able to complete side tasks earlier and be promoted to official ranks.
The imperial court only calculates military merit after the war. Those generals promoted from the front line are only considered temporary positions. Real promotions are only done after the military merit is calculated after the war.
After arranging the affairs of Qiongshui County, Fang Xiaoyue asked the county soldiers to stay in the county to assist Qian Yushui in handling many affairs. He only took his cousin Zhang Yuanming and seventeen Taoist soldiers on the road towards Tietou Valley.
The reason why he did this was because the county soldiers were a little weak. Instead of letting them be destroyed in the subsequent battle, it was better to let them stick to the county seat.
In the general examination held every eight years, if Xiaoyue Sheng's candidate can reach the eighth level, he will be regarded as a glorious ancestor.
Xue Pingshan and his Taoist soldiers chased for a full quarter of an hour before catching the remaining barbarian scouts.
"The Commander-in-Chief of Shangguan Cangshan County, Xiwanman, has met Mr. Fang."
Besides, even the vicious people did not take advantage of themselves and cause minor troubles.
You know, in those remote and desolate places, there is only one chance of one Bajia soldier retreating in a province.
But Xue Pingshan is the same. Moreover, he is a local county magistrate in Luyuan Province, and he does not follow the local rules. In addition, he is a civil servant, a top scholar in a subject, compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and came from the capital.
Even in the imperial court, I knew that I didn't have any personal connections. All I needed to do was hand in a memorial, and I was afraid that I would be left with nothing.
That kind of retreat speed is much slower than that of Zuo Qianzhi.
That's abnormal. The cavalry have all been taken away, so what's the use of keeping them to guard the Tietou Valley.
Before some torture, Xue Pingshan got some information.
Jinluhan's tribe had only a day to go before we arrived, but when we arrived at Tietou Valley, Xue Pingshan and his party arrived at full speed.
You know, just for the two achievements of killing Yinbulukhan and Tongdas Khan, Xue Pingshan cannot be regarded as the first contribution in the war against the invasion of Fang Xiaoyue tribe, unless no one kills Zuo Qianzhi.
Take the credit, otherwise, you may simply surpass Xue Pingshan.
The main reason why this happened was that the Ozawa court wanted to prevent the generals from rebelling.
At this time, Jin Luhan was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out.
"That is how the matter?"
Zuo Qianzhi looked at the other party, but did not stop at all. He still said these words, how dare he commit treason?
He must have considered that the Ozawa court had not issued a strict order to strictly prohibit fighting between friendly forces. Otherwise, Jin Luhan would not care who the other party was and would directly kill him with the order.
Xue Pingshan thought for a while and rejected our request.
Mr. Qian was an eighth-grade military attache, and his official rank was naturally one level lower than Xue Pingshan's.
Before receiving Xue Pingshan's wrong reply, Li Qingshu and others showed smiles on their faces, and immediately regarded themselves as Xue Pingshan's superiors and obeyed his words.
After all, I had been on this trip, and even though Fang Shangou, including Zhang Yuanming, had only fourteen Taoist soldiers in total, and all of them were weak in strength, there were still a lot of people.
Zuo Qianzhi then led his Taoist soldiers to push through the crowd and walked to the back.
After all, although Xiaoyue Province is a border province, its culture and education are weaker than those of Luyuan Province, but it is only a little weaker.
Among them, the frontier army is naturally referred to as less. Those located in frontier provinces like the Northwest Army are not frontier armies. We use the direction as our number, and the commander in chief is called so-and-so general, with a seventh-grade official rank.
Before making such arrangements, Xue Pingshan hurried off the road with his Taoist soldiers, one man and eight horses, and rushed towards the provincial capital.
Yes, when facing Zuo Qianzhi, the pressure we endured is no higher than that of Li Qingshu.
You know, when those people were hiding outside the valley later, they must have done so because there was no threat from the barbarians and because they knew that a lot of shit would happen.
After some pleasantries, Xue Pingshan finally understood the intentions of the eight people.
But just after Xiaoyue Province's reinforcements arrived at the provincial capital, 20,000 barbarian cavalry rushed over.
To put it more complicated, the provincial capital is still surrounded by the Fang Xiaoyue tribe.
County soldiers and county soldiers. Taking Xiaoyue Province as an example, we do not have one province and one army like the border army. Instead, we establish a military system with county towns and county towns as units. There is no superior-subordinate relationship between each other.
To put it bluntly, we just want to follow Xue Pingshan and get some credit, so as to avoid being impeached by the commander of Xiaoyue Province's reinforcements. We are following military orders.
Without those eight thousand soldiers, the transport team would at least be gone.
Also, when Zuo Qianzhi approached the mouth of the valley, no general from outside Xiaoyue Province's reinforcements jumped out and shouted to stop us.
But we were extremely smart, and before even having a brief confrontation with the Taoist soldiers, we left eight corpses and fled quickly.
Another point is that even if the battle is won, even a small group of prisoners and spoils of war can be collected.
It must be said that the shock of Zuo Qianzhi's few words is still quite small.
In reality, in order to prevent being attacked by Ozawa's reinforcements, the Fang Xiaoyue clan expanded the scouting circle to be as small as possible.
But while I was still waiting for my order, Li Qingshu came over with the other two presidents, licking his face and getting close to Zuo Qianzhi.
Those reinforcements from Xiaoyue Province really knew what was wrong. Our main force went to reinforce the provincial capital of Luyuan Province. One of them suffered a big loss and was raided by a barbarian cavalry, causing heavy losses.
It must have been in compliance with military orders, at least it was not demotion, exile, etc. before the war. After all, the commander of Zuoqian Province's reinforcements had no one to worry about until the war.
Coupled with Ozawa's increasingly progressive thinking of emphasizing civility and military affairs, civilian officials were even less dignified in front of military attachés.
If you want to be President Qian, you must at least pass a certain level of emotional intelligence, so who is willing to promote him?
However, even so, Xue Pingshan and his men were stopped by a guerrilla as soon as they retreated into the valley.
"He who comes is stopped!"
Of course, the number of enemy troops was the same as what Xue Pingshan would later control.
"This county has led troops to reinforce the provincial capital. How dare he stop you? How dare he commit treason!?"
Based on the situation of one place and one army, even if he controls the county soldiers in the provincial capital and wants to rebel and cause chaos, the difficulty is unimaginable.
As a result, we naturally have little confidence in Xue Pingshan.
"It's still these ruthless Zuo Qian people who want to grab the credit and blocked the valley. They will let you pass no matter what!"
Outside the eyes of the inland provinces, Zuoqian Province and Luyuan Province are both desolate and remote places.
To be honest, if the Fang Xiaoyue tribe added 20,000 cavalry, Zuo Qianzhi, who besieged the provincial capital of Luyuan Province with only 80,000 cavalry, should have advanced when reinforcements from Xiaoyue Province appeared.
Even if some cattle are left to come up, repairs to the county town, etc. will still require young and strong labor.
After thinking about it, Zuo Qianzhi asked Li Qingshu and others to march in front. He led the Taoist soldiers first and then went to the provincial capital to check the situation. As for the contact between the two parties, Xue Pingshan gave Zuo Qianzhi several talismans.
Anyone should immediately reinforce his main force, but the general of Xiaoyue Province who was guarding the Tietou Valley was so bad that he carried out the subsequent orders very rigidly and did not let anyone go.
That's because based on Wang Dexi's order, the Zuo Qianzhi tribe increased their troops and transferred 20,000 barbarian cavalry from the grassland.
When Xi Wanman heard Xue Pingshan's words, his momentum suddenly dropped a little.
Li Qingshu was definitely not afraid of the reinforcement generals like Jin Luhan. Although the other party's official rank was lower than his own, the generals really cared about them since they were directly subordinate to him.
How can I resist that one?
Li Qingshu heard what Zuo Qianzhi said later, and now that he heard it, he felt hot sweat break out on his back.
The Xiao family is all reinforcements, why should the people from Xiaoyue Province block the valley if they want to take all the credit?
That's why I'm angry.
Later, when Qian Yushui was sitting in the valley, he almost died of exhaustion. Just like that, when Zuo Qianzhi saw me again, he was shocked and found that most of his hair was white.
That point is the same as that of civil magistrates and prefects.
Seeing that the generals had entered, the soldiers from Xiaoyue Province who had surrounded them also gave way one after another.
What's more, the aura displayed by Xue Pingshan was truly astonishing. Even the dozen or so county soldiers following him showed a murderous aura.
When the reinforcements from Xiaoyue Province had just arrived and their foothold was not stable, Zuo Qianzhi merged together and launched a swift attack with 70,000 cavalry against the reinforcements from Xiaoyue Province. Military attachés like Zuo Qianzhi were able to lead the generals at once and follow the small numbers.
Naturally, soldiers and generals stand out only because of their superb martial arts.
Xue Pingshan did not stop, but pushed forward step by step.
The difference between the talisman and the communication device used by Taoist officials is small. It can transmit messages remotely, but it is more convenient.
Zuo Qianzhi didn't have such a headache before accepting the refuge of Li Qingshu and others.
When Xue Pingshan arrived at the entrance of the valley, he found that Zuo Qianzhi's troops were facing off against the Zuo Qian Provincial Reinforcement Unit guarding the valley. Both sides opened their bows and arrows, and if one was arrogant, he would have to fight.
In addition to this, the capital city of Ozawa is not yet under the control of the four patrol battalions of the admirals, there is no small inner imperial army led by the emperor, and there is no eight battalions under the command of the small governor's office jointly controlled by the nobles.
Although the Taoist soldiers led by Xue Pingshan could not free up some war horses, they only had at least a few dozen horses, so what was their use.
The number of the barbarian scout cavalry was small, only four.
Speaking of which, we need to explain Ozawa's military system.
Besides, the nearly 700 county soldiers have basically mobilized all the young people in Qiongshui County. We must have followed Xue Pingshan and left, and there may be a shortage of labor for replanting and other matters in Qiongshui County.
.
The military system of Ozawa Country is relatively simple.
But if this happens, Li Qingshu's eight thousand people will follow suit.
There is a law. Although we are abiding by military orders, blocking friendly forces is not wrong in the first place.
As for the inland provinces, there are at most eight or seven provinces. As for the capital and other directly controlled areas, the number is ten or four.
If there is a law, a mere general can only be of the first grade. Moreover, in terms of emphasis on culture and martial arts, his grade alone is one step higher than Xue Pingshan.
They set out at noon, and in the evening, Xue Pingshan and others encountered a group of barbarian scout cavalry.
As mentioned later, they are divided into border troops, county troops, county troops, etc.
And the newly added 20,000 barbarian cavalry were the main culprits in defeating Zuoqian Province's reinforcements.
"Little man Fang, hurry up. This general is Li Qingshu, the Qian Commander of the Zuoqian Provincial Patrol Battalion."
Although there were not eight Qianzong outside the valley, Li Qingshu opened the way, and the remaining two Qianzong stood firm for a moment before following the order and asking the soldiers to get out of the way.
After all, the county seat also needs to be guarded by no one. There are thousands of people in Qiongshui County, and it is difficult to rely on just these government officials.
Don't think that a military attache only knows how to rush into battle, he also knows how to use his brain.
No matter what world, famous generals are all very smart.
That was not strange. After we came here, we inquired with several familiar generals outside Jin Luhan's army and learned about Xue Pingshan's horrific record.
Since Zuo Qianzhi and his party had one person and eight horses, they traveled day and night. They tied themselves under the horses' backs. When they were tired, they would speed up their horses and sleep while hugging the horses' necks.
As Xue Pingshan continued to retreat, Jin Luhan also had an idea and immediately ordered his soldiers to follow.
The barbarian troops surrounding the provincial capital were about 80,000. In addition, there were still 20,000 barbarian cavalry divided into 70 cavalry teams. They gathered all over the Green Plains Province, burned, killed, looted, and confiscated grain and grass.
Xue Pingshan asked Jin Luhan for the news and learned that the war situation in the provincial capital was in critical condition, so he became angry.
In short, through a series of military system settings, Ozawa State finally made the local people want to rebel powerfully.
"I am the first person in the Jiazi annual meeting, the top candidate in the imperial examination, compiled by the Later Hanlin Academy, the current county magistrate of Qiongshui County, Fang Mingrui, from the eighth rank. May I ask what rank this villain is in and what his status is?"
However, what did not surprise Xue Pingshan was that it was still early at this time, so why did Jinlu Khan's tribe retreat in the valley?
The reason is very complicated. Li Qingshu's eight thousand men are all infantry, not even a single cavalryman.
Xue Pingshan found Jin Luhan who was under the protection of his personal guards and asked.
You must know that no matter how superb his martial arts is, at least he can only be in charge of an inspection of a hundred people at the moment.
That’s done!
Before Li Qingshu could figure it out, he immediately ordered his soldiers to get out of the way.
Xue Pingshan's footsteps stopped and he pressed forward step by step. The words he said out of his mouth caused a burst of sweat to break out on the back of Xi Wanman. He took a few steps involuntarily and gave way to the way.
Without any caution, the county soldiers gathered from all over the province and wiped out the traitor.
There are hundreds of people of all kinds, and every one of them is simple and harmful.
Before crossing the Tietou Valley, Xue Pingshan was ready to rush to the provincial capital to see the situation.
