Chapter 494: As soon as the trump card is shot, the Northern Han Dynasty becomes Liangshan
"That's weird! Zhou Jun hasn't returned yet?"
In a town thirty miles east of Xiyang City, Zhu Biao was in a daze after listening to Di Feng's report. He couldn't figure out why this situation occurred and what was going on?
Didn't Chen Shiju receive a request for help from the Zhongshan Kingdom? Or was Zuo Geying so courageous that he didn't ask for help from the Zhou army?
Di Feng found no trace of Zhou's army within fifty miles north of Xiyang City. Zhu Biao's heart beat loudly and his eyelids also jumped.
Is it a blessing for wealth or disaster? Is it good luck or bad luck? A feeling that the situation is out of control arises in Zhu Biao's heart.
At the same time in Xiyang City, the military strategists and generals of various wealthy families were all incorporated into the Forbidden Army. Just like the 200,000 new army training in the Northern Han Dynasty years ago, the best and most qualified sources of soldiers were of course the wealthy and nobles.
of private soldiers.
However, the Zhongshan Kingdom is not as good as the Northern Han Dynasty, where the whole country paid filial piety after the Battle of the North, and it has not been wiped out like the Han Dynasty. But Zuo Geying still raised a group in Xiyang City.
The new army of ten thousand people, together with the original defenders, brought Xiyang to have twenty thousand soldiers.
The 20,000-strong army relying on the fortified city did not dare to go out to fight the Han army with only 4,000 people. It can only be said that Zhu Biao's series of achievements really frightened the Zhongshan Kingdom.
Beijing City, stay at the palace.
Ji Fa looked at the crying letter from his uncle with a gloomy face. What did Chen Shiju want to do? Want to embarrass himself, or buy his uncle to Zhu Biao?
The roiling anger made Ji Fa look like a man-eating tiger at this moment!
In the audience, Zhang Wentian, Yao Jing and other advisers exchanged glances casually.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Ji Fa finally spoke. He suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke. He knew that Chen Shiju didn't dare and couldn't. He needed a reason.
"Your Majesty, this is actually a double mistake." Yao Jing stood up. He was one of the counselors in the Tang Palace and was in charge of the military aircraft.
"After Jianyang City fell and the news was reported to Xiyang City, King Zhongshan immediately flew falcons to report to the border counties. Because there was no direct contact between Xiyang and General Chen's army." Both falcons and homing pigeons need a fixed point.
Make a mark. It would be no problem if the homing pigeons were released from Chen Shiju's army to fly to Xiyang. However, if the homing pigeons were released in Xiyang to find Chen Shiju's troops, which were constantly moving and uncertain, that was not something that birds could do, but a navigation aircraft.
"After receiving the urgent news, the prefect of the border county immediately sent a fast horse to General Chen's army to report the message, but no one responded after a day. The prefect knew that it was not good, and the fast horse was probably intercepted by people from the Northern Han Dynasty on the way, so he
He quickly sent ten more people to the army to report urgently. Therefore, when General Chen learned about Xiyang's critical situation, three days had passed since the defeat of Jianyang.
At that time, General Chen conquered Ling'an County and was marching towards Guangyang County. It was no less than 900 miles away from Xiyang City. Even if he turned back immediately, it would take seven days for the army to arrive. By then, Zhu Biao had already led the army.
Killed at the foot of Xiyang City.
This rescue is too late..."
"So he didn't save Xi Yang and continued to Guangyang?" Ji Fa was very annoyed. Can political matters be considered purely from a military perspective? If Xi Yang is really shaken, this will bring trouble to himself
A line was drawn with the Zhongshan Alliance, forming a crack.
Ji Fa didn't want to create a barrier with his uncle in terms of emotion and reason, in public and private matters. In the future, the one who could look after Beiyu for him was his uncle.
"Your Majesty, calm down. General Chen thinks that Xiyang City has been strong for a long time, and there are countless wealthy and famous families in it. As long as they gather their private soldiers, they can immediately get a new army. Moreover, there are also royal palaces and Tingwei Mansion in the city. , there are hundreds of masters from the Criminal Department and Zhongshan Jianghu, even if they fight in battle, they are enough to destroy Zhu Biao's five thousand people.
Furthermore, there are hundreds of thousands of residents inside and outside Xiyang City, more than 100,000 households, and one person from five households can form an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people. Defending the city is no better than Ying Yelang's battle, Xiyang is as solid as gold!"
Yao Jing also knew that his king was not really worried about Xiyang being defeated by Zhu Biao, but was worried that Chen Shiju's failure to return to the army might cause a crack in the iron-clad alliance between himself and Zhongshan. But Chen Shiju had already done that. It's over, it's too late now to order him to withdraw his troops quickly. If there is going to be a crack, it already exists now.
How to make the final decision was left to Ji Fa Qiangang alone. He had already removed everything he could for Chen Shiju, but it was a pity that he was still covered in hair.
"Send something to Peking..." Ji Fa was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision, his voice was deep, with a trace of reluctance that was the same as the look on his eyebrows...
In the Northern Han Dynasty, let them fight with the Hu people. Half a million troops have already entered the battlefields of Chen and Yan, which attracted Moyuan Khan to ask for help from the Hu people. The main force of Wuji Shanyu and Ben were on the side of the Northern Han Dynasty. Most of the main force of King Wu's division of Yougu Li was transferred to the battlefield of Chen State.
The 500,000-strong army he sent out was originally not intended to give any help to the Northern Han Dynasty. But now, although the 500,000-strong army has not entered the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, it has inevitably given the Northern Han Dynasty great benefits. And his own burden It is getting heavier and heavier, and the reserve of 300,000 troops has entered Weiguo. When the weather gets cooler, they will immediately march to Yanchen.
Thinking about it, Ji Fa felt resentful!
Fortunately, the continuous sending of troops to Beiyu also gave me the opportunity to kick away roadblocks and stumbling blocks and eliminate the obstacles of dissidents.
There are millions of soldiers and horses in more than ten states in northern Xinjiang, but Ji Fa can fully control the army, but only one million are in his hands. The rest are either wavering, or have only reached some intentions, and there are those who are loyal to Shendu and wait and see. of.
Then the opportunity to send troops to Beiyu was just in time to organize some things. With the imperial edict issued by his father, Ji found that everything he did was justified.
Yao Jing, Zhang Wentian and a group of advisers retreated. Ji Fa stared at a place in a daze, "Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao..." What a general, it would be great if he could use it for himself!
Two days later, Prince Xia's Mansion in Weizhou.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
"This good fourth brother seems to be so cunning and cunning. I never thought that the little Northern Han Dynasty would make him suffer again and again. He took hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but was killed by thousands of Han troops before he was in front of Zuo Geying... Hahaha, Hahaha…………"
As the eldest son of the emperor, Ji Yuan always liked to be the 'elder brother'. However, the fourth son of the Tang Dynasty did not rebel against him, which made him escape a lot of fun. In the eyes of Ji Yuan at the time - this was a disobedient brother!
Ever since he was the eldest son of the emperor, he had been fighting fiercely with the prince, who was his legitimate son. When he became an adult, he became a vassal, and began to accumulate strength, contact the courtiers, and plan for the unrivaled throne in the world.
Ji Fa, on the other hand, stayed out of the fight between Ji Yuan and the prince, watching with cold eyes, because he did not interfere much and gained the favor of their father. This was a bad impression for Ji Yuan, and he was stepping on his head.
The ironclad evidence of Climbing was that he had long since determined in his heart that this fourth brother was an enemy.
Although now they all have a common enemy - the prince.
Of course Ji Yuan is happy when his enemy is unlucky, but unfortunately he doesn't have the idea that his enemy's enemy is his friend.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Han Dynasty has a strong military force and the queen of the Tang Dynasty. If we counterattack the Tang Dynasty King, we can support the Northern Han Dynasty and make the Tang Dynasty King's strength at his back——"
Zhang Fuyuan, a counselor under his command, made further remarks.
"What's the use of the little Northern Han Dynasty?" How many soldiers and horses can there be? It's not enough for him to swallow in one gulp! He didn't care about admiring Zhang Fuyuan at all, waved his hand and left Zhang Fuyuan.
Not long after, Le's laughter came from the room again.
"Pass on the order of the lonely king, add extra meals in the evening, plus half a month's interest, and the whole family will have fun together!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward..."
"Alas..." Zhang Fuyuan didn't leave far when he heard King Xia's order and sighed slightly. As a lord, he is not weak in resourcefulness and bravery, but he is too high-spirited and too arrogant.
…
…
The number of Han troops accumulated in a small town thirty miles east of Xiyang City has reached 8,000. The Qianqi and corresponding infantry led by Zhu Zhong returned to the army, and also brought over two thousand new soldiers.
The Han army's successive victories in Yuzhou, especially the Sanshi and Jianyang World War II, really shocked the entire Muzhou. Millions of soldiers and civilians were excited and high-spirited. The governor of Muzhou suddenly changed from a poor man living a dry life to a big man.
The wealthy man, who had money, food, soldiers and armor, immediately converted the 10,000 militiamen into regular soldiers, and then recruited another 20,000 new soldiers throughout the state.
The newly-registered militiamen squeezed out some of them and sent them to Weizhou. From Dashunguan to Weizhong, and then from Weizhong to Taigu, some of them came to Zhu Biaojun from Taigu.
middle.
Compared with the soldiers of the county and state, these militiamen who have been regularized are indeed new soldiers, but compared with the new recruits currently being recruited in Muzhou, they are just veterans.
Muzhou's original 20,000 old and new county soldiers have withstood countless life and death tests and tempers after each battle, and are transforming into real elites. However, the number of people has also been sifted and sifted, and every battle has become more and more difficult.
Experience pain in loss and sacrifice.
To put it clearly in one sentence, 20,000 new and old county soldiers are not enough, and part of the mountain of swords and fire will have to be carried by these newly-regularized militiamen.
However, the Zhou army has not returned from the north. Zhu Biao's troops are limited and it is impossible to blockade the entire Xiyang City. Moreover, Zhongshan Kingdom has not yet banned birds, pigeons, and falcons. The Han army below stared blankly.
Zhu Biao knew in his heart that if the Zhou army did not turn back to Xiyang, it would definitely go to Guangyang. The siege of Guangyang, which had been besieged for more than a month and was about to reach the harvest season, was now 10% likely to be solved. That is
I wonder what Zhou Jun’s next plan will be after the two phases converge?
Should we continue going north, or turn around and go south?
I wish Biao Tun troops Xiyang for many days, but they failed to get in touch with the north, and the communication with the east was not smooth. The only thing he could rely on now was a thousand Bo Daoling elite cavalry, and he spread his wings and kept a close eye on the north road.
Every move!
"Master, that thief from Yuehua is asking for a meeting outside the door. He said he has something important to discuss with the master!"
The steward of the gatehouse of Anpinghou Mansion reported to Yun Han.
Yun Han's narrowed eyes were flashing with light. It was only this morning that someone from the south entered the post house, and now Yue Hua has come to see him?
We have something important to discuss? Could it be that the King of Tang wants to give up? "Go and invite him in!"
"Yes." The deacon exited and hurried toward the door.
"If this bitch dares to come out and cause trouble, gentlemen, smash him to death..."
"Smash, smash him to death..."
"You bastard, if you have the guts, come down from the door. I will beat you to death today..."
Before the deacon returned to the concierge, he heard a wave of yelling and yelling outside. "Bah! You deserve it-"
…
Withdrew from the court the next day.
"Father, Your Majesty, why did the Queen Mother suddenly... change so drastically?"
In the study room of the Houfu of Yibei, Yu Xinxian was confused with his father. The king and the Yun family, who had always been extremely tough, suddenly made a 180-degree turn and not only ordered all the 'righteous people' from the three southern states to return home
, and even ordered the Muzhou Army to withdraw from Yuzhou, return all the Longshan land in Yuzhong under its control to Zhongshan, and only gather troops to guard Dashun Pass.
The nephew and son-in-law who worked hard and served well, the champion general was promoted to the rank of general of the army. This is a military position equal to the four expeditions and four towns. At first glance, it seems to be a very generous reward. The military strength has also increased from 30,000 cavalry alone to 50,000 infantry.
However, Bodaoling, where Zhu Biao had been stationing troops, was moved back to Jinwu Guard. The training location was also moved from the outskirts of the royal capital to Hezhou, which was still relatively dangerous in Anze County, Hedong!
During the morning meeting today, the whole hall was silent. People were shocked and stared at the new king with incredible eyes. Yu Xinxian could not forget that scene because he was one of them.
"Yue Hua! The King of Tang has taken action..."
Yu Ziliang turned over the information in his mind. He knew that yesterday morning someone from the south entered the post house. In the afternoon, Yue Hua rushed to the Anping Marquis Mansion. While waiting in the courtyard, he was smashed by the people who gathered around him.
The whole body was in a miserable state.
About an hour later, Yue Hua went out from the back door of the Hou Mansion. Yun Han immediately entered the palace from the front door to see the Queen Mother, and did not leave the palace until evening. For a period of time, the Queen Mother dismissed the eunuchs, attendants, palace maids and maids, leaving only the Queen Mother.
, Your Majesty, Yunhan and the others...
None of this information is secret information. Even if Yu Ziliang doesn't pay attention to it, it will reach his ears bit by bit over time. There are many caring people in this world, such as his own grandson.
After sorting out the clues bit by bit, Yu Ziliang believed that the origin of all changes was the man who came from the south yesterday. And the source of such a big change would not be the rich but not powerful Zhongshan Kingdom, but that country
The king of Tang who controlled half of northern Xinjiang.
Tell these things to your son, Yu Ziliang dictates, and Yu Xinxian writes down. "Send it to the Xiyang Army as quickly as possible!"
This letter does not explain how the King of Tang made the king and the Yun family give in. Yu Ziliang just wanted Zhu Biao to understand the reasons. He did not know and did not want to know because he felt
When it comes to the impurity inside...
And if Zhu Biao wants to know, let him figure it out on his own. Anyway, it's not like there is no way to the upper level at Xiao Qi.
…
In the eastern sky, a ray of morning light breaks, like a huge sharp sword, cutting through the dark night with one sword, bringing a glimmer of light to the world.
Then, the light became brighter and brighter, driving the darkness away to the unknown edge. After a while, the sun jumped out, as big as a disk, red, radiating endless rays of light, and there was darkness in an instant.
After retreating, the mountains, rivers and land became clear and bright.
The Han army, which had been entrenched in the eastern suburbs of Xiyang for many days, gathered and saluted under the early morning sunshine. Not far away, more than ten thousand Zhongshan troops lined up to welcome them. Zhu Biao's army had been at the city for many days, and this was the first time he saw a turtle showing its head! Yang Yanzhang, Gao
The three generals Xie, Li Panlong and 7,000 soldiers no longer need to return to Muzhou. According to the Taiwei Mansion documents issued with the imperial edict yesterday, their three generals and 7,000 soldiers have been assigned to Zhu Biao, the newly minted Shangjun.
Under the general's command.
When the army returns to the Northern Han Dynasty, they will break out some of the armies in Quzhou to gather four captains and build the foundation of four battalions of infantry. When they can gather 20,000 infantry, they will have to fill it slowly.
.
A thousand cavalrymen were always vigilant, and Zhu Biao was also looking at the Zhongshan Army not far away. His face was calm, but in his heart, thousands of grass and mud horses were galloping past.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!"
I really have the talent to make prophecies, and I said that it is possible to catch up with the Yunmeng Conference on September 9th, and now I really have time to catch up. The king of Tang stopped, the Zhou army withdrew, and the Zhongshan state surrendered, and they all responded.
certificate.
However, the same results are obtained through different processes.
It’s just that the locust army from three states has returned to China. Every household has robbed a lot these days. But the land in Longshan in Weizhong was lost in vain. Dashunguan became uncovered and turned into a real border pass. It would be too disadvantageous.
.In fact, if the counties of Longshan are in hand, they can not only support Muzhou, but also further station troops in Guoyang and threaten Taigu.
Now the Han army is huddled in Dashunguan. It is safe enough, but it has completely lost the initiative in the overall strategic situation. In the future, as long as the Zhongshan army is properly deployed, the Han army can only attack east and west in Longshan.
It is too difficult to jump out of Longshan again and enter Taigu.
And he left Bodaoling, where he had stayed for more than a year, and was transferred to Anze County, Hedong. Although he did not want to think about the worst, considering the sudden change in the attitude of the King and the Yun family, Zhu Biao was worried.
It’s also heavy!
The current relationship between Zhongshan, the Northern Han Dynasty, and the King of Tang is that the Zhongshan Kingdom surrendered to the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Northern Han Dynasty surrendered to the King of Tang Dynasty. Based on the fact that Zhongshan was a die-hard subordinate of the King of Tang Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty and the King of Tang Dynasty had a bad relationship before.
The status is equal on the same surface.
Although Zhu Biao is not clear about the specific details, the prisoners of the Zhou army and the Zhongshan Kingdom will definitely come from all directions one after another. This is completely equivalent to the failure of the original combat intention. If he had known this result, why would he bother to fight against the king of Tang?
A handful?
And what did the King of Tang use to make the King and the Yun family submissive?
Zhu Biao suddenly had a feeling of "Liangshan". Zhongshan State was Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City, the local tycoons who were subordinate to the Northern Song Dynasty court [Tang Wang]. Liangshan first wiped out the local tycoons for a while, and then turned around the court officials.
The army beat him up hard, but unfortunately he was finally ordered to peace.
The captured 'Captain Gao Taiwei' [prisoner of war] must be sent back respectfully, or he may have to bleed and work for the officials in the future!
How high does this make him energetic!? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
