Chapter 1555 Restoration on the Western Front, Wolf Smoke on the Eastern Front
Although it is not a friendship based on friendship in the world, they have a friendship that entrusts their lives to each other on the battlefield. Xiao Tang immediately patted Li Xiaozhong on the shoulder and said: "We can be together with our brothers again.
It's a great blessing, and with Brother Li Xiaozhong's ability, he can command an army again."
Li Xiaozhong was of a straightforward nature. After he expressed his attitude to Xiao Tang, he thought of something in his mind and said angrily: "I can see it, and it will be a pleasure to serve under Xiao Renxia. I, Li Xiaozhong, ask myself whether I am born with a clank."
A good man with strong bones, he would not hesitate to risk his life in order to protect his family and country. Ever since he fought with the foreign invaders of the Jin army, it was a pleasure to kill the Tatars, but he was beaten in the army and suffered a lot.
What a waste of time! The Jin invaded the capital and surrounded Taiyuan. The imperial court appointed Fan Zhixu, a bitter scholar who did not know how to fight. I warned him not to lead the army into a rash advance, but he blamed me for depressing the morale of the army and dismissed me from my post. This is what happened.
After a severe defeat, the Tatars of the Jin Army took advantage of the situation and captured Shaanzhou.
I tolerated the filth and gathered the old troops of the Jingnan Army and volunteers from all walks of life to fight to the death to recapture Shaanxi Province. Before the Jin army and the Tatars encircled me, I quickly sent a document to the west to report the emergency. I was able to reply and send Qu Duan, the commander of the Economic Strategy Department, to come to the rescue.
, until the Jin army encircled it, there was no movement of that guy! I also know that Zeng Meng, Xiao Renxia, led the Jingnan Army to win a reputation, but it was not the Western Army's success in recapturing Shaanzhou. I am afraid that some soldiers will be violated.
It is taboo to be a traitor. However, Xiao Renxia is willing to lead heroes from all walks of life to rescue the soldiers and civilians of Shaanzhou in danger. How can I still not make up my mind? In the face of national crisis, I hope to use all my skills to capture the Jingbian army. I don’t want the Western Army to fall into the trap.
Qu Duan and others are so mean-spirited that it chills my heart and teeth, but when I serve under Xiao Renxia, I can work together with the others and don't have to pay attention to the dirty things in the army!"
They were both well-known generals in the Western Army, and Yao Pingzhong knew Qu Duan himself. Hearing Li Xiaozhong pick up birds and scold him, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Qu Duan passed by Jingyuan Road in his early years.
When Luesi was born, I also heard that he had the talent of a general, but he was headstrong and arrogant, and he always had bad relations with many generals of the Western Army. But after Mr. Zhong retired from office and retired to seclusion, he behaved crookedly and indeed became more and more domineering.
....."
When he met Mr. Xiao Zhong at the beginning of that year, Xiao Tang also remembered that Qu Duan almost made several of his brothers want to fight him directly with just a few words. He was indeed not an easy person to get along with. And the siege of Shaanzhou
Li Xiaozhong originally fought to the death for two years, but Qu Duan did it out of the desire to preserve his strength. Zhemo was also jealous of Li Xiaozhong's reputation for retaking Shaanzhou and was jealous of his fame and achievements, so he refused to send troops to rescue him until the fall of Shaanzhou.
Li Xiaozhong was hit by an arrow like a hedgehog, and together with the dozens of forbidden officers and generals he recruited, all the rebel leaders died heroically... Qu Duan fought bravely and resisted the Jin army's onslaught and achieved great military exploits, and he was also unjustly killed and persecuted.
Even if you die, this stain cannot be washed away.
At first, Li Xiaozhong had no intention of giving up his official career and following Xiao Tang to join the green forest, but he was also a fierce and outspoken person. After all, according to official history, when Li Gang, the leader of the main war faction in the imperial court, was at the peak of his power, he dared to write a letter to directly impeach him for not knowing how to use troops.
Now he has been wronged and suppressed, but he is still dedicated to defending the territory with all his heart. However, because of the unwillingness of his colleagues in the Song army who worked together to see the danger, this Ganlong ranger still defends Shaanzhou and resists the Jin army alone.
He was a foreigner, but he could see through some things, which made him feel completely chilled.
Moreover, among the volunteers who were recruited to guard Shaanzhou, there were also some powerful leaders from the green forest who led the crowd to respond to Li Xiaozhong. They formed life-and-death friendships during the defense of the city. Li Xiaozhong only introduced them to Xiao Tang, and the few leaders who followed him came
He immediately went to meet Xiao Tang and said: "Shaoxing of Shenji Mountain, Shaolong of Lianyun Village, Shao Yun, meet your brother! We heard earlier that brother Xiao Tang was famous as a chivalrous man, and we miss him all the time. We brothers are also like
Brother Xiao Tang is like a group of heroes. Although he was engaged in green forest activities in the past, he was also an upright man with a passionate heart. The gold thieves Tatar invaded our country and home, but any good man with some blood should fight with that
The guys fight with all their might!
Although the fate was shallow in the past, he had no chance to meet brother Xiao Tang. Instead, he responded to the recruitment of brother Li Xiaozhong and led the brothers in the village to rally together. Han Shizhong, Niu Gao and other brothers rushed to help and killed the captives side by side. God followed his wishes, and he was lucky enough to meet Xiao Renxia.
These heroes of the world have participated in a righteous deed. Brother Meng and other heroes will not give up. I and the others are willing to hold the whips and stirrups, obey brother Xiao Tang's orders, and swear to kill the gold thief!"
Xiao Tang also helped the leaders of the Green Forest Rebel Army who had been recruited through Li Xiaozhong to stand up one by one, and encouraged them frankly. Now many more soldiers have joined the army, and several units of the Jingnan Army were previously organized and trained by him.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers no longer had any scruples in their hearts and were willing to follow Xiao Tang and serve. As for the rebel soldiers and horses in the Taihang Mountain Chain Village and the Zhongyi Baoshe, they could also supplement the troops that had been damaged after several wars.
After planning and summarizing, Xiao Tang appointed Li Xiaozhong as the general, Dang Shixiong, and Dang Shiying as the partial generals, still commanding the old Jingnan Army and maintaining the military designation; Shao Xing of Shenjishan was transferred to the Niugaodang Cavalry Army, and the company
Shao Long and Shao Yun of Yunzhai led their troops and were transferred to serve as partial generals in Han Shizhong's Hengchong Army. Huang You, the original commander of the original system who was both civil and military and good at planning, thought about it and was willing to continue to follow Xiao Tang.
In a fierce battle with the Jin army, Shi Wengong, who currently has no deputy, was sent to the Piyong Army to serve as a general to assist him; in the Taihang Mountain Chain Village, Fu Xuan was appointed as the chief general, and Meng De, Liu Ze, and Jiao Wentong were appointed as the generals to fight against Jin Zhongyi.
Baoshe Liang Xing and Zhao Yun each led their elite troops to form an army.
As for Yao Pingzhong, a general of the Western Army who had long been able to take charge of the army in terms of his ability to unite the army, Xiao Tang temporarily left him in front of the tent to listen to him. General Dong Xiaoxiu and Luo Qinghan, the general of the resentful army in Liaodong, were killed in the battle of Pingzhou, so
The troops and horses are also temporarily under the care of several other army generals in the corner of Baozhou. According to Xiao Tang's thinking, there may be casualties due to damage in future wars, and the need for reorganization from time to time due to the surrender of new armies and other reasons. Yao Pingzhong's ability is enough to lead
An army of soldiers and horses to supplement the effective force to continue to use troops against the Jin Kingdom.
The siege of Taiyuan has been lifted, and the main Jin army led by Yin Shuke has been defeated. The situation on Hedong Road, which was originally in danger, has also stabilized, but there are still Xinzhou, Daizhou, Xianzhou, and Ninghua in the north.
The army... waited for the state capital to fall into the hands of the Jin army. After rest and reorganization, they had to send troops to recapture it. Especially in Daizhou, where Qingliang Temple in Mount Wutai is located, the military strength on the west road had an absolute upper hand.
The battle with the remaining Jin Army must not be very difficult, but Lu Zhishen was concerned about the safety of Elder Zhishen, and he also urgently asked Xiao Tang for orders to lead his mad demon army directly to Chengzhou, and purge the remaining Jin Army under his control.
Xiao Tang also agreed, and ordered to mobilize Yue Fei's troops, who were now eager to make achievements, to coordinate with several rebel armies to go to Xinzhou, Xianzhou, Ninghua Army and other state capitals to regain territory. During this period, Xiao Tang kept thinking about it.
One thing: Wanyan Nianhan, the original coach of Jin Guo’s West Road Army, where is he now?
After resting and reorganizing the military units, they marched north as ordered, while Xiao Tang temporarily sat in Taiyuan to preside over the situation. Suddenly one day, a military information document from the east of Shi Xiude came to Xiao Tang for review. When Xiao Tang opened it, he only read it briefly.
After finishing two lines, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Jinan Mansion? Liu Yu?"
Note: After Li Yanxian regained Shaanxi Province, the surrounding people and brave people came to join him one after another. During this period, historical records indicate that he sent Shao Long, Shao Yun, etc. to lead troops to counterattack Anyi, Yuxiang, Ruicheng, Zhengping, and Jiezhou and achieved victory.
, Shao Xing, the leader of the Shenjishan rebel army, returned with his troops and was ordered to garrison the mountain gate to fight against the Jin army.
