Salanna had been fighting for a long time and couldn't do without the army. Just after celebrating the New Year in Liucheng, she felt uncomfortable, so she asked to continue to lead the army. Li Chengzhong is not a rigid person, on the contrary, he especially appreciates his women going out.
Successful career, so he immediately agreed to Salanna's request, but gave her a strict order not to interfere with military aircraft beyond her authority.
Salanna is also experienced in leading soldiers and knows how powerful they are, so she always keeps Li Chengzhong’s advice in mind and faithfully serves as her commander of the Kumoxi Battalion. The establishment number of the Waio Allied Forces is the Third Cavalry Battalion. At this moment, everyone saw that
Looking at herself with pleading eyes, Salana felt a little embarrassed, but finally decided to take the initiative for once.
Okay, it won’t happen next time, Salanna thought as he carefully took a step forward: “Zhong Duyu, it’s windy outside, why don’t you go back for now?”
Zhong Shao has two identities, one is the Commander-in-Chief of the Huaiyue Allied Forces, which is a real military position, and the other is the Duyuhou of the Huaiyue-Yuhou Joint Headquarters. Although it is also a military position, it is a civilian position. If placed in
In later generations, Zhong Shao's position was similar to that of commander of a certain army and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Salanna himself was also one of the Yuhous who contacted the headquarters of Huaiyue Yuhou. With this sincerity, the gap in positions was smaller and his words were tougher.
But Zhong Shao was still looking at the valley from a distance, seemingly not hearing Salanna's words at all. Salanna blushed and felt slightly angry, but remembering Li Chengzhong's instructions, he had no choice but to retreat unhappily.
The generals lamented for a while, secretly saying that Zhong was such a bad guy that he dared to ignore even the words of the governor's woman. Fortunately, we didn't make such a mistake, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as just ignoring her. I'm afraid I would have to get a few sticks.
Zhong Shao indeed didn't hear Salanna's words, he was deep in thought.
A few days after spending Zhengdan in Liucheng, Zhong Shao and his colleagues Xie Li Pegasus rushed to Guizhou to take over the military affairs. However, the expansion of the Huaiyue Allied Forces was just beginning, and the Yelu, Shulu, Diela, Kumoxi, Shiwei and other battalions were all
They were new members of the Wyoming Alliance, and they had not even established formal formations at all levels, let alone consistent military orders and tactical coordination.
Zhong Shao's settlement did not disrupt the command system of these newly formed battalion leaders. They still acquiesced in their original tribal system. They only urged the logistics department to replenish the weapons and armor of these battalion leaders and ordered them to enter Guizhou.
.
After some coordination between Guizhou Guangbian Army and the Gao brothers, the cooperation between the two parties was finally smoothed out, and the supply of food, fodder and baggage was already on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was the day when Liu Shouguang convened the Lulong Prefecture, which was actually the beginning of the war between Youzhou and Yingzhou. Zhong Shao didn’t know what happened under Shicheng on this day, and whether the two sides actually fought, but the Huaiyue Allied Forces
The lag in progress is an indisputable fact.
As the saying goes, the more urgent the situation, the more chaotic it becomes. Zhong Shao urged the army to enter from the north entrance, cross the Badaling Mountains, and pass through the steep ditches without stopping for a moment. However, there was something wrong with the cooperation of the Gao brothers. Although the Juyong Pass guard general received the
The military order of the Gao brothers. However, the liaison sent by the Gao brothers to lead the army into the pass did not follow. In fact, when the leading troops of the Huaiyue coalition arrived at Juyong Pass, the liaison had just left Longmen.
Faced with so many troops from all ethnic groups outside the pass, the general at Juyong Pass did not dare to let him go without authorization. This was because the military orders issued to him by the Gao brothers did not mention the composition of the Huaiyue coalition. The Wukai tribe, the Bohai Kingdom, and the Xiongjin Prefecture
The battalions are just that, they are wearing uniform Han-style military armor, and their hairstyles and accessories are gradually moving closer to the pass, so the differences are not obvious yet. But the other battalions have just joined, and their appearance and characteristics are completely different from the Han people in the pass.
The general guarding the Juyong Pass was frightened and ordered his sergeants to block the pass desperately to prevent the Huayue Allied Forces from entering.
Zhong Shao quite admired the courage of this guard. With only three to four hundred men, he dared to block the advance path of an army of ten thousand people. However, he admired him very much. He couldn't afford to waste time and still decided to launch an attack. But as soon as he arrived in person
Seeing the majestic figure of Guancheng at the foot of Juyong Pass, Zhong Shao was dumbfounded. He made some calculations in his mind. Although the guard army did not have many troops, if he could really capture Juyong Pass, thousands of people would not be killed or injured, and it would not cost tens of thousands of people.
For eight days, there is no chance at all.
So the army delayed at Juyong Pass for several days. When the Gao brothers arrived in person, Zhong Shao was already suffering from internal injuries.
At this moment, Zhong Shao has been calculating the march time of the first, second and third cavalry battalions and the third infantry battalion. More than a day has passed, and it is reasonable to arrive at the south entrance. Perhaps by night, he will get the latest military report from the front. At the same time, Zhong Shao
I am still worried about Xie Li. As the deputy commander of the Huaiyue Allied Forces, Xie Li is marching with the Xiande Battalion of the Second Battalion of Synchronous Soldiers. Xie Li's task is to command the army to seize the south entrance to prevent the Youzhou army from intercepting it. If possible
If so, we must occupy Yong'an as soon as possible and establish a grain platform camp for the follow-up army.
I hope Liu Shouguang did not send troops to garrison the south entrance, Zhong Shao thought. This is also what he is most worried about now. Judging from the terrain of Jundu Mountain, once Youzhou sends troops to block the south entrance, it will be very difficult to rush out smoothly.
matter.
If Youzhou sends troops to set up an ambush in a dangerous area in Guangou, this is a problem that Zhong Shao dare not even think about! Although he has told Xie Li that the army must carefully survey the terrain before marching, God knows whether it can be done.
Come out, and judging from the state of the battalion officers, it is difficult to determine whether these guys will ignore the investigation in order to rush on their way.
Just when Zhong Shao was thinking about everything and lost his mind, a horse appeared from outside the valley and ran towards Juyong Pass. The messenger on the horse had superb riding skills and controlled the horse to avoid rocks, shrubs, streams and holes, and arrived steadily.
Close it.
Zhong Shao immediately leaned down with his hands on the Guancheng crenels and looked nervously, with veins popping up on the back of his hands.
After the ordering soldier checked his waist card for the second time at the pass, he was immediately put into the pass. Zhong Shao was anxious and hurriedly took a few steps to the entrance of the corridor. Within a moment, the ordering sergeant had already galloped up the stone steps of the corridor.
Zhao Rang, who was informed of the military situation, took the military report that the sergeant took out from his pocket, took out his seal and stamped it on another document handed over by the sergeant, proving that the military report had been received, and the sergeant withdrew.
Go down.
The military report was in clear text, so there was no need to refer to the code book for translation. Zhong Shao glanced at it quickly, and the worry between his brows immediately disappeared. He started reading again, carefully considering the explanation that was sent in the military report.
After a while, he raised his head and said to the generals: "Wukui Camp and Yalu Camp have passed the south entrance, and the south entrance is safe! The two battalions have rushed to Yong'an, Xiongjin Camp is currently stationed at the south entrance, and Commander Xieli is building and advancing outside the south entrance.
Camp.”
A low cheer immediately sounded from the surroundings, and the tense atmosphere above Guancheng immediately relaxed.
After announcing the news, Zhong Shao immediately said: "Order"
Two recorders of the Wyoming Allied Forces had been waiting nearby. After hearing this, they immediately picked up their pens, their nibs full of ink shaking on the yellow paper.
Looking at the valley again with his hands behind his hands, Zhong Shao pondered for a moment and ordered: "Inform Commander Jieli and ask him to lead the Shulu Camp and Xiande Camp of the front army to Yong'an. If there is an enemy in Yong'an, attack the city immediately. If there is no enemy, attack the city immediately.
Then build a grain platform in Yong'an according to the original plan. In any case, Yong'an must be occupied tomorrow night. The south camp will be responsible for the Xiongjin Camp, and no mistakes can be made. The day after tomorrow, that is, before noon on the 23rd of the first lunar month, Wukai Camp, Ya
The Lu camp must appear at the foot of Youzhou City, and when the army arrives at Youzhou, the enemy wandering outside the city must be eliminated."
After a while, the two recorders completed the transcript and handed the document to Zhao Rang, the military intelligence officer. Zhao Rang browsed it briefly, stamped it, and then handed it to Zhong Shao, who stamped it. One copy was archived, and the other was urgently delivered to the former army commander for explanation.
.
Zhong Shao continued to give the order: "Order the army to set off immediately. The order is: Kumoxi camp in the lead, followed by Diela camp, Shiwei camp, Yelu camp, and Nanhai camp in the rear. Each camp is separated by a quarter of an hour. The two battalions before and after must establish contact at any time.
.Each battalion must arrive at the south entrance by Shen time tomorrow and enter Yong'an for rest before Hai time. No delay is allowed!"
The two recorders continued to hand over the general's order to Zhao Rang, and Zhong Shao sealed it.
Zhong Shao raised his hands to the Gao brothers and said: "I have troubled Xian Kun Zhong to lead the Guizhou army and escort the grain and supplies to Yong'an as soon as possible. Zhang Yuhou from our headquarters will accompany your troops." Although the Gao brothers surrendered to Yingzhou,
However, specific military positions have not yet been arranged, and Zhong Shao has no authority to give orders to the two of them, so he can only make requests in a negotiation tone.
But how dare the Gao brothers refuse to agree to Zhong Shao's request. They both returned the favor and said, "Don't worry, the commander will be sure that the food, fodder and baggage will arrive in Yong'an within five days. If anything goes wrong, I will serve as a military judge!"
Zhong Shao nodded calmly, then turned to Salanna: "Commander Salanna, Zhong plans to lead the Yuhou headquarters to march with the Kumoxi camp, and we hope to be well prepared."
With the issuance of the military order, each battalion formed its team in turn, carrying dry food and drinking water with the army, and set off one by one. The entire Guangou Valley was filled with the sound of the advancing army's footsteps.
At the end of the next day, Zhong Shao's Yuhou Headquarters and Kumoxi Camp were the first to arrive at the south entrance. A simple camp had been built outside the south entrance. The Xiongjin Camp was guarding the outside. Hundreds of people quickly brought hot water and hot food that had been prepared.
Coming up. The exhausted Kumoxi camp got a chance to breathe, drank water and food, rested for half an hour, and left the camp before the arrival of Diela camp. He mustered up his courage and worked hard to advance towards Yong'an.
Less than twenty miles from the south entrance to Yong'an, here we have entered the Wenyushui Plain, and the road is very smooth. The army all got on their horses and galloped towards Yong'an, arriving at the foot of Yong'an City before dark.
Those who stayed in Yong'an were the two captains of the Xiande camp. Two captains and two soldiers greeted Zhong Shao at the gate of this small town.
There was no garrison in Yong'an, so the capture was very smooth. Xie Li had already led the rest of the troops to Youzhou. According to Xie Li, each battalion of the former army planned to stay overnight on the way and strive to arrive at the gate of Youzhou City before noon tomorrow.
In fact, this information was inaccurate. When Zhong Shao arrived in Yong'an, Zhao Yuanping had already appeared at the foot of Youzhou City with the Wukui Battalion. And in the Yalu Battalion five miles behind Zhao Yuanping, the battalion commander
Gao Mingxun has also seen the towering Youzhou City Wall illuminated by the setting sun from a distance. (To be continued...)
