Chapter 1121 Gao Qiu's brother, take revenge for his brother by the way
After learning that the Cangzhou and Yongjing armies were ambushed and defeated, the officer-in-chief had a gloomy appearance, and his face suddenly became so gloomy that it seemed to be oozing with water. And this man was the one who was in charge of Gaotang Prefecture.
The prefect is Gao Lian, the uncle and brother of Taiwei Gao Qiu.
Seeing Gao Lian's gloomy expression, behind him Xue Yuanhui, Yu Zhi, Wen Wenbao and other officers serving in the Gaotang Prefecture Command and Envoy Department looked at each other. Among them, Xue Yuanhui, the commander of the Gaotang Prefecture Forbidden Army, was the first to ride forward.
, and said to Gao Lian: "Mr. Gao, we were ordered by the left-behind Secretary Jun to go to meet the general manager Guan Sheng who wanted to attack the two mountain bandit nests in Qingzhou, but the soldiers and horses of the left-behind Secretary were defeated so quickly. Now,
The military situation in Daming Prefecture is critical, and the officers and soldiers in Cangzhou, Yongjing and other military prefectures have also been defeated by that group of thieves. The thieves are very powerful, what should we do?"
Gao Lian only thought for a moment, and then said in a dark voice: "That's it, withdraw the troops and return to Gaotang Prefecture."
Several officers and generals present were even more surprised when they heard this. Xue Yuanhui asked Gao Lian again: "But Mr. Gao...the two mountain bandits are now raging in Hebei, Damingfu, Cangzhou, Yongjing Army and other groups."
The officers and soldiers were all killed and defeated. If I, Gaotang Prefecture, just sit back and watch, I am afraid that the court will investigate and investigate the crime in the future."
Pursuing the crime? Although Liang Shijie is the son-in-law of Grand Master Cai, my brother is also the Grand Lieutenant in front of the palace. It is your incompetence in Daming Prefecture that left several officers and soldiers in Hebei Province to lose their troops. They need to find someone to convict and punish them.
With my brother taking care of me, who can punish me? After hearing this, Gao Lian rolled his eyes and snorted heavily, saying: "It's Guan Sheng. Deng Zongbi and his officers and generals failed to lead the troops, which caused the thieves to be killed."
It is rampant. The imperial court wants to hold the officials accountable. It also needs to punish those guys for overthrowing the army and killing the generals. What else can they do to us? As the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture, it is my duty to defend the prefecture and rule Qingping. The imperial court wants to
Even if you punish me, you won't be able to punish me!"
Although Gaotang Prefecture is close to several state capitals such as Daming Prefecture and Bo Prefecture, and the two mountains of Qingzhou cross several military prefectures on both sides of Hebei Province, Gao Lian was very ruthless in acting according to the military orders issued by the Remaining Secretary.
I wish. As long as the Green Forest soldiers and horses do not offend the territory of Gaotang Prefecture under his rule, whether you are a villain who wants to kill people and steal goods, or a bandit who fights against the government, what does it have to do with me?
Because Gao Lian, as the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture and in charge of the state's military and horsemen, could rely on the influence of his brother Gao Qiu to do everything in the local area. His political achievements and military exploits did not need to be based on anyone's eyes at all, as long as his uncle and brother Gao Qiu
If he still wins the favor of the officials in Bianliang, Tokyo, if he works hard for a while, his official position will only increase along the way, and he may not be able to get into an important place such as accompanying the capital and become a stay-at-home husband.
There is a backer in the court, and Gao Lian, who is really more enjoyable to hang out with in Honshu than the local emperor, is not a figure who is determined to defend the land and make contributions to the country. Although among the uncles and brothers of the same generation in the Gao family, most of them were like Gao Qiu before.
For a scoundrel like Gao Yanei who came from a scoundrel background, Gao Lian was relatively promising. He not only practiced some martial arts, but also randomly learned some miscellaneous Taoist skills. After Gao Qiu became famous, he was promoted to do something like this.
The magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture took charge of the army. Not only did he privately recruit some soldiers, but he also had some ability to lead troops. He only fulfilled the wishes of his brother-in-law Yin Tianxi and occupied the houses and courtyards in Chaihuang City.
I went to Henghai County in Cangzhou to plunder the furniture of the local rich man Chai Jin and made a huge profit. The red furniture in the mansion is gold and the white is silver. If you stay in this state and be happy, why bother to work hard in the army and worry about other things?
Noisy business in Junzhou?
But now Daming Mansion, Cangzhou, Yongjing Army and other officers and soldiers in Hebei Province were all defeated by the strong bandits from the two mountains. Gao Lian, who had never planned to fight to the death, even wanted to retreat.
I plan to force myself to stand out.
As for Xue Yuanhui, Yu Zhi, Wen Wenbao and other officials, they will listen to Gao Lian's negative words. They also generally know that this prefect, who also holds military power in the state, only intends to personally sweep the snow in front of his house and not care about the frost on other people's tiles.
They didn't dare to remonstrate with Gao Lian's colleagues in other military prefectures. As the generals of various battalions issued repeated orders, the front line of the officers and soldiers along the Gaotang Prefecture became the rear line. These days, they were just out of sight.
In Zhoucheng, after wandering around the surrounding areas for a while, he was about to return home, rather than engage in a fierce battle with the strong bandits from the two mountains of Qingzhou and lose his troops in vain.
It's just that Gao Lian led the official army, which was only treated as private soldiers in this state, but could not go more than five or six miles away. He could faintly see the dust rising and seemed to have enemy troops blocking the way. He saw them approaching, and just as the Gaotang state soldiers were on guard, they were on guard.
, Gao Lian also looked at the several flags displayed in the opposite military formation, and they clearly read "Sun An, Dragon Slayer of Wu Rui Camp", "Shiqi of Qianjun Gun Mountain" and "Wei Dingguo, the Divine Fire General".
Names such as "Holy Water General Shan Tinggui"!
After a moment of surprise, Gao Lian suddenly had a sinister look on his face, and he thought to himself: I have not planned to arrest these thieves, but I will tie them up today!
But when Gao Lian was thinking hard, another military academy came from the rear to report urgently: "Report! There are also large groups of powerful horse troops chasing after Qingshui Town in Kozhi Prefecture, which is only three or four miles away.
!”
The officers and soldiers in Gaotang Prefecture had sentries and men and horses, and there were also rangers in the two mountains of Qingzhou to alert the surrounding enemy troops. Sun An, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Tinggui were ordered to lead their troops northward to intercept the officers and men.
The retreat route of the army, after Xiaotang defeated the officers and soldiers of the Cangzhou and Yongjing armies, they also noticed that there were officers and soldiers in the direction of Gaotangzhou to watch the battle situation, and immediately ordered the troops to evacuate.
If it was an ordinary military state that only wanted to defend its own officers and soldiers, Xiao Tang thought it would be okay to let them go. But of course Xiao Tang also knew that Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Province, was his mortal enemy Gao in Bianjing City.
Qiu's uncles and brothers are also evil officials who do anything in Benzhou. In addition, Gao Lian had previously persecuted Chai Jin and almost died in the government office. He also embezzled his ancestral property and property. Whether it was to eliminate this scourge or to create a cottage.
The brother in the police station reported to him, and since he had bumped into him, there was no reason to let him go.
As the generals' orders came out one after another, Xiao Tang's soldiers and horses were ordered to fly back and forth. The soldiers and horses that had just won a great victory began to move quickly again. The officers and soldiers along the Gaotang Prefecture were also shocked to realize that they were looming behind them.
There was dust flying in the air, and groups of cavalry had emerged from the other side of the horizon. Judging from the momentum of their attack, it seemed that they were planning to break through our own army in one go, causing chaos and at the same time engaging in front and back attacks with the strong soldiers and horses in front.
There was a blockade in front, and a pursuer behind. The pursuers behind were fierce and murderous, waving their sharp swords. The horses' hooves stirred up a large amount of dust, and the dust and smoke billowed all the way. In front, there were soldiers and horses from Qingzhou Mountains waiting in formation.
They had arranged their formations early and set up a cold gun array. The army formations all the way to Gaotangzhou saw the fierce incoming of the bandits and horses in front and behind them, and gradually showed signs of loosening up. Although Yu Zhi, Wen Wenbao and other officers and generals were high-ranking
He shouted and ordered the soldiers and horses to stabilize their positions, but panic was already showing on their faces. The commander Xue Yuanhui also immediately slapped his horse and ran to Gao Lian's side, saying anxiously: "Ms. Gao, the bandits are coming so fast. We are waiting for them again."
What if!?"
Gao Lian only thought for a moment, and immediately shouted loudly: "Pass the military order from me, all the battalions and departments will be in charge, and the commanders will wait for the army to be strong, and all the troops and horses will be gathered in one place. Don't pay attention to the pursuing troops in the rear.
Just rush in from the front! Just break out of here and run back to the city of Gaotangzhou. There is a dangerous city to defend and you don't have to worry about the enemy troops attacking!"
Just giving the order, Gao Lian still thought in his mind: After just winning a few battles, the arrogance of the strong bandits from the two mountains in Qingzhou became extremely arrogant! Although our military state in Gaotang Prefecture is small, at least we have a large army and plenty of food, and those grassroots bandits are so close to each other.
I despise the fact that I only command the army and horses of Gaotang Province, but I have to use my best skills to catch you guys off guard!
