ps: I was pleasantly surprised to see that the first protector was born in this book. Although compared with other books, this is nothing, but I am still very happy. Thank you very much, Brother Eagle Zhou. I won’t say anything more. This chapter
Additional update for Eagle Brother Zhou, today’s normal update will be done in the evening. (It feels really thrilling to hide from the leader’s coding in the office)
A general galloped out of the central cavalry formation of the Wyoming Allied Forces, followed closely by a guard holding the flag of "Zhao, the First Cavalry Battalion of the Wyoming Allied Forces". The two armies were three to four hundred steps apart, but the general
He did not stop on the center line, but rushed directly to a place more than ten steps in front of Zhao Yuande, and then reined in his horse.
The dozen or so guards around Zhao Yuande were extremely nervous. They either raised their bows, raised their guns, or drew their swords, all pointing at the cavalry commander.
Zhao Yuande shouted to stop the guards around him and signaled them to move away. He stepped forward on his horse, looked at the general flag and sighed softly. He said to the general with a complicated expression: "Twelve Lang, I didn't expect it.
You...unexpectedly, you are now leading the army alone..."
The cavalry commander is none other than Zhao Yuanping, the twelfth son of the Zhao family and nephew of Zhao Yuande.
Zhao Yuanping clasped his fists and bowed on his horse, and gave a slight salute: "Uncle, in front of the two armies, the child is wearing armor, so he cannot salute."
Zhao Yuande sighed: "It doesn't matter. I have a look at the Twelve Lang's subordinates. They have excellent armor and strong bodies. They all seem to be good at riding. With Twelve Lang's army like this, the world is so big that they can go anywhere. He
"Zhao family, you and Sanlang can be said to be on par with each other, which is really unexpected." "Sanlang" is Zhao Ba. In Zhao Yuande's opinion, if his subordinates can lead such a strong army, Zhao Yuanping and Zhao Ba are already evenly matched.
Therefore, Zhao Yuande was also very happy. No matter what, it seemed that the Zhao family in Hejian had hope for its survival.
Zhao Yuanping said nervously: "Uncle Muzan... Cui Er's life is better than...
All I do is fight with guns all day long. Governor Li has said that Cui Er will be much more important than a certain person in the army in the future..."
Cui He comes from the Cui family of Zhao Yuande's wife. He is Zhao Yuande's wife and nephew. Now he is the Kongmu of the Logistics Department of Yuhousi. In the logistics system, his status is only below that of Zhao Hongde. According to rumors, after Governor Li moved to Youzhou, the Logistics Department
It is very likely that Cui He will be separated from the Yuhou Division and upgraded to the Logistics and Equipment Division. As Zhao Hongde's most admired subordinate, Cui He's official rank will surely rise.
After hearing this, Zhao Yuande was in a trance for a while. The Zhao family's children who were forced into the Yingzhou Army were the dandies that Zhao Yuande despised. If they were placed in his own Badu Cavalry, he was afraid that they would harm this elite army.
.Send it elsewhere, but others are unwilling to accept it, so Zhao Yuande can only force it to Yingzhou. For example, Zhao Yuanping is in front of him. Zhao Yuande evaluated him at the time as "reckless and brave and fierce. He has no strategy." To Cui He
His evaluation was "cowardly in temperament, unsatisfied in martial arts, good at writing, knife and paper, following the example of Mr. Accountant". But what I didn't expect was that these two people were now getting along well. Their family broke up with Yingzhou.
At that time, he summoned them to go home, but they were rejected by them.
"As long as you two live a good life, the Zhao family has something to think about in the future... If the Zhao family and Governor Li are enemies, it will inevitably cause disaster. I only hope that for the sake of the same clan, the two of you can make the Zhao family unhappy.
If your family is destroyed...you can present the head of a certain family to Governor Li and beg him not to kill the Zhao family's children..." Zhao Yuande smiled miserably.
"What did uncle say? My nephew came to Cangzhou under the orders of Commander Zhong and Xie Li. They are the most trusted generals around Governor Li. They promised my nephew that as long as the Zhao family is willing to surrender, they will surrender.
The whole family will be safe!" Zhao Yuanping said hurriedly.
Zhao Yuande was moved when he heard this: "Oh? Did they really say that? Governor Li is willing to let Zhao go?"
Zhao Yuanping said: "It's certain! The two of them can accept this matter on behalf of Governor Li!"
"What conditions?"
"First, give all the land in Cangzhou, and not even a single soldier can resist it."
"It's natural."
"Second, after going to 'Jiedu Liuhou', the Zhao family moved back to Youzhou."
"It should be."
"Third, get rid of the cavalry military system in the capital. From now on, there will no longer be any private troops in Lulong's army."
"No more private soldiers? This..." Zhao Yuande was a little unwilling: "How will the Zhao family in Hejian protect themselves in the face of the Wang family, Li family, and Gao family in the future?"
"From now on, all tribes will have no private soldiers, and the only one in the world is the Lu Long Army!" Zhao Yuanping said firmly.
Zhao Yuande immediately looked at the elite Qianqi behind Zhao Yuanping: "These soldiers..."
Zhao Yuanping pointed behind him: "These soldiers are not from the tribe of children. They are from the Khitan Wukui tribe. They are now organized into the First Cavalry Battalion of the Huaiyue Allied Forces. The previous commander was Jie Li, and he is now the deputy commander of the Huaiyue Allied Forces.
, the vacancy was filled by the young man. He had previously served as the deputy of the battalion of the Yingzhou Army, and was the temporary commander of the first cavalry battalion of the Huaiyue Allied Army. Yuhou was promoted to the command because of his merit. Under a certain banner, he still has battalion education.
, deputy commander, Yuhou, and officers at all levels who joined the army, escorted the government, and experienced... If the child has made meritorious service in the future, he may be transferred to other places, or to the third division of the headquarters, or to other departments..."
As soon as Zhao Yuanping explained, Zhao Yuande immediately understood that there was no private army in the entire Yingzhou system. The officers were mobilized at will, and the soldiers were not recruited by themselves. To put it bluntly, they were "iron-clad soldiers with flowing water in the camp". If
If we have to talk about "private army", then all the armies in the entire Yingzhou system are a private army belonging to Li Chengzhong, the governor of Yingzhou. These officers and soldiers are not loyal to anyone except himself.
"Military power and administrative power are unified? Haha, Governor Li is so clever... A certain family underestimated him back then..." Zhao Yuande sighed with emotion.
Zhao Yuanping also told the story that all the wealthy families in Youzhou City had agreed not to raise private soldiers, and that Li Chengzhong, the governor of Yingzhou, would take charge in the future. He once again advised: "Uncle, listen to my nephew. Our Zhao family will ask Li Chengzhong for help."
The Governor surrenders, and Governor Li will be the main leader from now on. Not only can our Zhao family be preserved, but our uncle can continue to enjoy peace, and our Lulong town can truly stand on its foundation and compete with Hedong and the Xuanwu vassal for hegemony!"
Zhao Yuande looked at the high-spirited Zhao Yuanping and smiled bitterly: "How could it be so easy? Your third brother and Governor Li were at odds with each other. When they were in Youzhou, they never gave each other a good look... I believe that Governor Li has the world in mind.
, maybe he won’t care about it, but with your third brother’s temperament, I don’t know if he would be willing to bow to Governor Li.”
"Third brother led troops to Shicheng?"
"good."
Zhao Yuanping shook his head and sighed: "Third brother can't defeat the Yingzhou Army..."
"Oh? Are you so sure?"
"Uncle, you don't understand how Governor Li trains troops, and even if you understand, you can't learn it. The Yingzhou Army is very powerful, not only the armor and weapons, but... I can't even tell you. The uncle thinks that the thousand soldiers under his command are
How about the remaining cavalry? Very good, right?... But they can't defeat the cavalry battalion on the left side of the Yingzhou Army. They can be about the same as the right side of the Tianneng Army. You know, the cavalry battalion of the Yingzhou Army is composed of 500 people...one against one?
Then maybe these Wu Kui cavalry under the boy can win, but they won’t be able to do it once they form a formation... I have practiced three times in actual combat and lost them all..."
When Zhao Yuanping was talking to his uncle Zhao Yuande at the foot of Cangzhou City about the strength comparison between the Badu cavalry and the Yingzhou Army cavalry, Zhao Ba was trying hard to confirm his cousin's words at the foot of Jieshi Mountain.
The original plan was to take advantage of the entanglement between the two armies, and Ba Duqi to march eastward with all his strength, seize Yuguan, and thus open the door to Yingzhou outside the pass. However, both Zhao Ba and Zhang Suishan, who offered the advice, overestimated the Yier Army.
The cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army underestimated the garrison strength of Pingzhou City and Yuguan. These two wrong judgments led to an extremely serious consequence. Ba Duqi was imprisoned among the narrow hills in the southeast of Pingzhou.
I didn’t expect Liu Shouguang to be defeated so quickly!
I didn’t expect there were so many troops in Pingzhou!
I didn’t expect Yuguan to be so impregnable!
Zhao Ba's sneak attack did not go well in front of the well-prepared Yuan Xingqin, and the success rate of the cavalry's attack on Guancheng was very slim. Therefore, when Zhao Ba met Zhao Jing, who had the same ulterior motive, the two could only put aside
Their own little plans. Temporarily join forces to attack Yuguan together.
However, no one expected Yuan Xingqin to be so capable of fighting. With only a thousand men, he firmly controlled Yuguan and attacked it for three days in a row. He did not even reach the top of Guancheng. Not only that, Yuan Xingqin
Qin also led his troops out of the camp at night and launched a surprise attack on the joint camp of the two armies, severely damaging the morale of the two armies.
When Zhou Kan's flag appeared behind him, Zhao Ba immediately judged that the situation was not good. He did not inform Zhao Jing and quietly led his army to sneak away. Ba Duqi were all cavalry, so they could move in very quickly. Zhao Ba
His route is to flee south along the seaside. If the fighting under Shicheng is still going on, he will give it a try. If Liu Shouguang is defeated, he will bypass Shicheng and run back to Cangzhou. As long as he has the troops in hand, he will not worry about the Zhao family.
There is no way to survive!
Although Zhao Ba's horse was fast, Pingzhou was a small place, so Ba Du's riding route was quickly exposed to the eyes of the Yingzhou scouts. Two battalions of Yingzhou Army cavalry blocked Zhao Ba in Huangzhang Valley.
It was also from this time that Zhao Ba realized the disastrous defeat of the volunteer army in Shicheng.
Of course, Zhao Ba did not lose his fighting courage because of this judgment. After all, the number of cavalry he had on hand was twice that of the opponent, so he quickly launched an attack on the Yingzhou cavalry.
As soon as the two sides started fighting, Zhao Ba was dumbfounded. The Yingzhou Army's cavalry battalion's pseudo "mounted shooting" tactics and the presence of a large number of repeating hand crossbows caused Ba Duqi to suffer a heavy loss. Zhao Ba quickly lost a third of his troops.
One of the cavalry. Zhao Ba led the remaining cavalry to escape from the battlefield with his liver and gallbladder broken, and then was gradually compressed to the foot of Jieshi Mountain.
As more and more Yingzhou troops appeared around Zhao Ba, Zhao Ba was completely panicked.
When the news of Zhao Jing's head reached the Badu Cavalry Camp, Zhao Ba was almost in despair. Zhao Jing's death made him feel as sad as the death of a rabbit and a fox. Although the death of the rabbit was due to the abandonment of the fox, Zhao Ba thought about it.
He wanted to go and decided to surrender to Yingzhou. At this time, Zhao Yuande's surrender letter had just been sent from Cangzhou to the foot of Jieshi Mountain.
"Twelve Lang..."
"Third brother, my uncle and his family are very nice. This is my uncle's family letter. Please read it."
"Uncle also advised me to submit to Governor Li?"
"Yes."
"Where is Mr. and Mrs. going? What arrangements does Governor Li have?"
"Captain Li said that your strengths are bravery and courage, and you can continue to lead troops. But you have to go to Bailang Mountain to study for half a year..."
"White Wolf Mountain? You seem to have studied there?"
"Yes, and Cui Er."
"how?"
"You will learn a lot of interesting things and meet many interesting people. Well, it seems that Abaoji and Aping from Khitan are there. You can go and get to know them."
"Huh, they're just barbarians, what's there to get to know..."
Regardless of whether Zhao Ba is willing or not, letting him study at Bailangshan Military Academy is a kind of preferential treatment. For the survival of the Zhao family in Hejian, he must go and behave like a good boy. Therefore, he should
After gaining military power, he was sent directly to Bailang Mountain and became the seventh transfer student of Bailang Mountain Military Academy. (To be continued...)
