Shortly after sunset, Fan Yao slowly returned to camp with his large troops.
Li Jiang asked about the situation in Shizhou. Fan Yao curled his lips and said in a strong disdainful tone: "Only a few exploration horses were sent out in the city. They retreated when they saw us. After that, they closed the four doors tightly and could not get out of the tent.
It’s like a turtle with its head shrinking.”
"Bah, what an embarrassment to Genghis Khan!" Li Jiang echoed, then changed the topic and said: "Old Fan, isn't this great? We have achieved our goal and avoided conflict with them. Don't worry, as long as March, we can
Tread it flat!"
"Really?" Fan Yao was overjoyed, and then asked eagerly: "Has the food been calculated? How many months will it be enough?"
Li Jiang stretched out his palm, put away his thumb, and waved his four fingers in front of his eyes.
"Four months?" Fan Yao's eyes widened.
Li Jiang nodded and smiled: "Yes, for four months, I can still eat enough every day."
Fan Yao was extremely excited when he got the confirmation, and walked back and forth in front of Li Jiang, clenching his fists and mumbling incessantly.
Li Jiang understood how happy he was at this time, so he comforted him: "Old Fan, you are tired after running around all day. Go get something to eat and rest. We will talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."
"That's right, I want to have a good drink with the brothers who are participating in the war today." Fan Yao rushed to the dining hall with a gust of wind.
In the next three months, the Guards did not take any major actions. They only trained every day with food and clothing.
Although there is no war in the north, Mingjiao has become more powerful in the south.
Li Jiang has been reviewing a large number of official documents every day for the past two months.
We learned from the battle reports that the Eastern Theater Command was the first to revolt under the leadership of Yin Tianzheng.
Yin Tianzheng adjusted the strategy in Butterfly Valley based on the situation reported by Dadu. He was an important military officer and had this power.
The imperial court has sent King Ruyang to lead the army south. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Zhu Yuanzhang's army, which was originally scheduled to revolt in Zhunbei, was transferred to Jiangnan and Anhui.
Zhu Yuanzhang went on without stopping, and as soon as he arrived in Anhui, he captured Anqing and headed straight down the river to Jinling.
When Yin Tianzheng took advantage of the earthquake in Jinling and mobilized his troops to resist in the west, he suddenly led the right army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Tianying Army to rush out. With Xu Da as the vanguard, he fought hard for three days and captured Zhenjiang. He and Zhu Yuanzhang were attacking Jinling from the east and west.
After Xu Shouhui captured Shangrao in Jiangxi Province, he divided his troops into two groups, one going west to pretend to attack Nanchang, and the other group he personally led the army into Zhejiang to steal the retreat south of the Yangtze River.
The Eastern Theater Command sent a request for instructions, and the main force planned to go north to attack Yangzhou, cut off the Grand Canal, and block the Ruyang King's army along the Huaihe River.
Li Jiang’s instructions: Yes.
After thinking about it, he wrote a private message to Yin Tianzheng: There is no need to take the initiative, just defend, and strive to delay King Ruyang's army for more than three months to cooperate with the central northern campaign.
Then there is the southern war zone. It is too far away to know clearly. It is just that we received a war report two months ago and planned to start an uprising in Fuzhou.
Yan Yuan of the Central Government launched an uprising in Wuhan, but the effect was not great.
There was no fighting in Wu Jincao in the west, so Li Jiang issued an order to let them enter the pass to attack Ganlong.
The northern war zone was a bit more tragic. The Yuan Dynasty had a heavy army stationed in Henan. After Tang Yang's uprising in Yingchuan, a heavy army group in Luoyang went south. Under the attack of the local Yuan soldiers in Xuchang, they were attacked from both sides. They were defeated in a bloody battle in more than ten days.
Tang Yang, the commander-in-chief of the northern army and the former governor of the military governor's office, was killed in the battle. He lost more than 10,000 troops and the remaining troops, several thousand men, retreated into the Funiu Mountains.
The military situation was so strong that Li Jiang did not dare to neglect. He sent the deputy hall leader of the Guards Tianjun to carry military planes to issue orders, and immediately rushed to Funiu Mountain to clean up the mess.
In the order, he promoted the deputy leader of the Heavenly Army to the commander of the northern war zone and the leader of the Zhengzhi Hall, and then promoted Han Shantong to the deputy commander. He ordered them to hibernate temporarily and recruit new people to restore their strength, and wait for the Guards to move south to start another attack.
After seeing off the worried new commander of the Northern Army, Li Jiang frowned and said to Fan Yao beside him: "What are the unknown intelligence agencies and the special forces of King Yin Ye doing? They didn't even have any news about the heavy troops from Luoyang going south, so...
Our Mingjiao is deeply saddened by the loss of its general!"
Fan Yao also sighed. He and Tang Yang were colleagues in Guangmingding. Although their relationship was cold, they did not want to see him die before he left the army.
Therefore, he said sadly: "Advisor Li, there is still half a month. In just half a month we can form an army. After sweeping Shanxi, the first goal is to go to Henan to avenge the Tang Banner Envoy!"
Li Jiang moved his mouth, then stopped. The strategy in his mind was to start with Shaanxi and then Henan, but now Fan Yao definitely couldn't listen to the unnecessary talk.
And Li Jiang and Fan Yao were talking about where is the King of Yin Ye now?
These two people planned a shocking big deal, hoping to make a big fat man out of it, but the effect was not good, and they were being chased by Taoist Baishu and his two brothers Xuan Ming.
The two of them found out that King Ruyang's army was heading south, and after sending the news, they calculated that in order to buy time in the eastern theater and slow down the march of the Yuan army, they would assassinate King Ruyang, the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army.
As they thought, dozens of experts from the special forces and an unknown intelligence department familiar with the situation made it easy to assassinate King Ruyang.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Min thought of what they could think of, and she ordered the two Xuan Ming brothers to invite their master, Taoist Baishu, to guard their father together.
So it was a tragedy for King Yinye and he that they stepped into a trap when they fought hard to reach King Ruyang's camp.
The two escaped under the protection of their subordinates who sacrificed their lives.
After escaping from the army for dozens of miles, the two of them counted their men and found that there were only five of the forty special forces left, and none of the intelligence personnel were weak in martial arts.
At this point, the Mingjiao special forces had their backbone broken; the intelligence department in the north had lost all its manpower, leaving only Wang Huishan, the intelligence chief of Dadu.
The two of them were so sad that they had no choice but to continue south to meet Yin Tianzheng.
Li Jiang doesn't know about this yet, and he is currently making arrangements for the expedition.
March time has arrived, and one hundred thousand soldiers gathered on the ground at the foot of the mountain for review.
Looking at the men who had taken good care of themselves over the past few months, and who were tall and round-waisted and full of energy, Li Jiang was filled with emotion. They were a new type of army, they were the sharpest weapons in his hands, and they were the main force to subvert the world.
After a ceremony, Li Jiang, as the commander of the Guards and the helmsman of Zhengzhi, mobilized his energy and made a sound that shocked the whole audience. He waved his hand and issued an order: "Go out, break Shizhou, and liberate Shanxi!"
Under the high platform, the crowd was furious, shouting together: "Destroy Shizhou and liberate Shanxi!"
The sound of a hundred thousand people was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Even the birds in the mountains couldn't stand such a loud sound, so they flapped their wings and flew high.
The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be roared away, revealing a shining golden light, and a rising sun was rising.
Fan Yao was the vanguard, leading 10,000 elite soldiers out of the camp in goose steps. They even sang loudly: "Burn my broken body, the blazing holy fire, how happy is life? How painful is death? To eliminate evil for good, only
Because of the light, joy and sorrow all return to the dust. Have pity on me, the world, for there are many sorrows! Have mercy on me, the world, for there are many sorrows!"
After 40,000 soldiers left the camp, Li Jiang led the central army and 60,000 rear troops to embark on the journey.
When everyone left the camp, the commander of the local army came up and said, "Commander, do you want to do something?"
Chapter completed!
