Chapter 2 Betrayal (four times) Most of the people who are bloody in the sword care about a rhetoric. Liu Badao tried to deny that Li Mi was the real dragon emperor mentioned in "Tao Li Zhang", but by some mistake, the destiny was assigned to Li Xu. If this is the case
It turns out to be true, the outcome of the coalition forces will be very bad.
At the moment, Gao Shida and Liu Badao did not dare to continue this topic, but they secretly made a plan in their hearts. If they find that the situation is not good, their troops will never fight with the Boling Army.
In five years, at this rate of rise, it is not impossible that he will be the next True Dragon Emperor. Since ancient times, those who oppose the True Dragon Emperor will not end well, so even if the opponent is the true Emperor, there is only a three-point chance.
Gao and Liu also had to be very energetic to deal with it.
The two of them were suspicious in Wulu City, but they did not realize that the danger had quietly come. Toshiro Wangbo's analysis was very accurate. The surge of Hutuo River and Zhulong River created huge obstacles for the mobilization of troops and horses. If the officers and soldiers forced to cross the river,
, it was easy to be discovered in advance by the scouts on the west bank, but the continuous autumn rain and the surging river water also blocked the sight of the scouts. According to the news they heard, the two Sui armies were still repairing in the camp in front of the White Horse Slope. In fact,
, the two Sui armies had already braved the autumn rain and quietly arrived at Boye County, which was only forty miles away from Hejian County, but separated by two rivers.
In Boye County, Li Xu and Yang Yichen intercepted the latest movements of rogue bandits sent by Wulou County Magistrate's confidants. In order to prove the accuracy of the news, Wulou County Magistrate Shi Defang deliberately bit off his middle finger and wrote a sentence with white silk.
A blood letter implored Generals Yang and Li to cross the river as soon as possible to liberate the people. When the enemy's army arrived, he would lead his servants to risk their lives and open the city gate in order to bring the bandit leader to justice.
"Which way does Zhong Jian think we should deal with first?" After ordering the messenger to be taken down to rest, Yang Yichen pointed to the blood letter on the desk and discussed with Li Xu in a low voice (17k Chinese website buys out the work, please do not plagiarize it) "
The bandits are not very willing to fight, no matter which one we take first, the other two will definitely flee!" Li Xu answered directly without thinking.
After more than a month of contact, both sides have a certain understanding of each other's temperament. Before meeting, Yang Yichen originally suspected that Li Xu had the ambition to support his own army, but now he feels that the young man just has unique ideas and is a little reckless.
At the same age, I also acted haphazardly and rarely cared about the consequences. However, after being in the officialdom for a long time, I gradually accepted the rules and would no longer easily touch those who would break my head and bleed if I touched them.
bottom line
Moreover, the measures taken by Li Xu in Boling and other places did have the effect of stabilizing the local area. Whether you say that he used the means of resuming scientific research and farming to win over people's hearts or to exclude dissidents, the six counties under his rule are currently.
Not only is the most peaceful Taoyuan in Hebei no longer harassed by large groups of bandits, but many refugees from other counties and counties are also dragging their families there. If all the counties in Hebei can behave like they did under Li Xu, Yang Yichen feels that he will not have to spend all his time fighting for it.
I am worried because my future is not guaranteed.
In Li Xu's eyes, Yang Yichen is also a senior who is worthy of friendship. Although the other person's background and experience are very different from his, and his views on things are often inconsistent with his own, what is rare is that the old general is very broad-minded and never relies on his age and
The family behind them comes to oppress people
The only difference between the two men so far is their attitude towards prisoners. When rogue bandits fall into the hands of Yang Yichen, they usually end up with only one outcome. This makes the battle to annihilate Zhao Wanhai drag on for a long time. Many rogue bandits would rather die when they see Yang Yichen's troops entering the battlefield.
, and do not want to lay down their weapons and become prisoners
Li Xu tried to persuade Yang Yichen many times, but the other party always responded by saying that the Buddha was holding a sutra in one hand and a sword in the other. He didn't appreciate Li Xu's overflowing compassion, just as Li Xu didn't appreciate his toughness. In addition, the two cooperated.
They really complement each other
Precisely because of their mutual trust, the two of them communicated without too much red tape and were completely straightforward in the manner of military commanders, regardless of whether the other party was resentful of an occasional offence.
"General Li is not old, but he has a big appetite!" Yang Yichen felt that Li Xu's answer was very suitable for his temper, and commented with a smile.
"I hope that this war will last at least two years of peace! If the local people can live a stable life, they will naturally not be easily co-opted by the bandits." Li Xu nodded and frankly admitted that he wanted to have a big decisive battle to suppress the bandits in Qi County.
Experience told him that only by causing the bandits to break their muscles and bones can they completely cut off their spying on the place. Just attacking and walking away would not let the bandits learn a lesson. It has been almost two years since Zhang Xutuo was transferred to Xingyang, and there are still many people around Qijun.
The orderliness is due to the old general's reputation back then.
"I also have this intention. Gao Shida dared to come to the door this time. It was obviously because we were forced to join forces to kill Zhao Wanhai. He came just in time to save me from looking for him again in the plains. Luo Ziyan was in Jixian. I don't know what An De's intentions were.
Sooner or later something will be done about Hebei. We don’t have much time and we don’t have time to waste time with the bandits!” Yang Yichen stood up and sighed as he looked out the window at the gloomy sky.
For him, whether the bandit army is 400,000 or 200,000, there is not much difference. Five thousand of them are enough to stalemate with them, and eight thousand are enough to defeat the tyrannical Youzhou general manager Luo Yi, who is eyeing the north.
The Huben cavalry are the elite left behind by the great general Wang Yangshuang. Although they number only five thousand, they have never been defeated.
However, the rogue bandits' behavior of always fighting behind their backs was very troublesome. Yang Yichen did not think that Luo Yi had colluded with the Hebei bandits, but the Youzhou Army and the Hebei bandits had always cooperated very well. When Xue Shixiong faced Dou Jiande,
Luo Yi immediately took the opportunity to seize half of Zhuojun. He led the Sui army to threaten Youzhou. Zhao Wanhai, Gao Shida and others continued to make trouble behind him. When the officers and soldiers turned back and fought back to Hebei, Gao Shida and others heard the news and soared far away.
Got it
The most troublesome thing for Yang Yichen during his years of suppressing bandits was the ability of the bandits to escape. Gao Shida, Ge Qian, and Wang Bo were all his defeated generals, and every time he could easily beat them to pieces.
But as soon as the bandits fled into the mountains and swamps, he was immediately helpless. A few months later, the bandits who had recovered their strength would appear in another county, and it was too late for him to lead his troops to intercept them.
The ability to capture Zhao Wanhai in one fell swoop this time was all due to the Boling Army's timely attack and blocking the Zhao thief halfway. Yang Yichen didn't care whether Li Xu's behavior of leading the Boling Army out in full force had the purpose of preventing himself from crossing the line.
Successfully annihilating a group of thieves and stabilizing his own retreat, this result is more important to him than anything else.
At this moment, in Li Xu's mind, the threat from the north was far greater than that from the south. Based on his experience following Zhang Xutuo in Qi County, he did not think that the menacing Gao Shida and others could set off any big storm. Wang Bo's troops were divided into three groups.
Although the plan seemed perfect, the execution ability of the rogue bandits was really questionable. Like Yang Yichen, he also regarded the Huben cavalry entrenched in Jixian County as his life-long rival.
All the dreams he had when he was young are now always preparing for a life-or-death showdown with the idol of his life. Asahi doesn't know whether he should feel lucky or unlucky.
He needs more time to prepare. Even if he trains all the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses on hand to be as elite as the Xiongwu Camp, he is still not sure that he can stop the Tiger and Ben cavalry heading south. That is a threshold he must face, and he cannot pass it.
With this threshold, he will never be considered a qualified general.
"Alas!" Thinking about their own concerns, the old man and the young man sighed in unison.
"Is Suichang (Lucheng) strong enough?" Looking at each other, the two of them asked exactly similar questions.
Xuzi smiled and made a polite gesture of invitation. Yang Yichen pointed out the window without any politeness and said in a low voice: "When I renovate Lucheng, my goal is in the north, not in the south!"
"The walls of Suichang City have just been reinforced during the off-season this year. The field envoys under my command have also built many forts outside the city to use the rogues' attack capabilities. They will not be able to break the city for a while, but I think Wang Bo is more difficult to deal with than others..." Li Xulue
Be silent and tell the truth about the situation at the southern Boling farmland.
The autumn harvest has been over for nearly a month. With the enthusiasm of those scholars who have just got the opportunity to display their talents, all the food must have been put into the warehouse long ago. As long as Wang Bo cannot break the Sui Chang City, he will basically get nothing. But he cannot tolerate anything.
People use any name to destroy their own efforts. Five and a half counties, including Boling, have just restored peace. Any losses caused by negligence will once again destroy the people's confidence in rebuilding their homes.
"You want to fuck Wang Bo first?" Yang Yichen heard the implication of Li Xu's words, frowned, and asked
"I think the old general and I will work together to block Wang Bo east of the Hutuo River. Since he dares to cross the river, we will use this opportunity to trap him. There is a river blocking it. It will be difficult for Gao Shida to get the news of Wang Bo's defeat!" Li
Xu nodded and suggested very methodically
"Then we will penetrate into Raoyang with lightning speed and block the bastard Gao Shida in Wulu!" Yang Yichen's eyes brightened obviously, and he followed what Li Xu wanted to express and speculated.
"Then we will catch the turtle in the jar and capture the boss alive!" Li Xu smiled and said the next plan. "Once Wang Bo and Gao Shida are defeated, Yang Gongqing will definitely have to flee back. Let's intercept him head on, or
He goes to Youzhou to provoke Luo Yi, or he will fight us obediently!"
