February 26, the sixth year of Qianfu's reign, Heheguan, sunny.
Although Hehejin has been given up to the Zhejia army who came ashore, all night yesterday, Heheguan kept a close eye on the movement of the ferry. When Shao Shude got up in the middle of the night to inspect, he also went up to the gate tower to take a look, but he saw the ferry crossing.
The lights were brightly lit all night long. The Zhe family army actually spent the whole night crossing the river. Do you want to work so hard? Are you afraid of suddenly falling into the river and drowning?
Early this morning, the general flag of "Linzhou Regiment Training Envoy Zhe" had been erected at Hehejin. It seemed that Zhe Silun had already crossed the river and rested at the ferry last night. Shao Shude used his new skills and clicked on
Based on the calculation of the number of the family's troops, it is estimated that there are about 1,500 sergeants and about 50 horses. They are still crossing the river at this moment, and they don't know how many people will eventually come ashore.
At Chen time, "Uncle Brother" - ah bah, Linzhou regiment training envoy Zhe Silun came to the foot of Guancheng with his soldiers and asked to see Qiu Weidao. At this time, the door was already wide open, and the soldiers of the brigade were arrayed inside. Shao Shude made special adjustments.
The soldiers lined up on the outside are tall and long, with thick iron armor and long rifles. They look very intimidating.
Zhe Silun was young, probably around thirty. He was tall and tall, with a sharp face and a resolute expression. He was riding a big yellow horse and casually glanced at the Tiande soldiers who were lined up in the doorway.
.
"The armor is bright, standing like a wall, with a sharp blade in hand, and a fighting spirit on his face. Haha, it's really a big scene." Zhe Silun commented on the Tiande soldiers who "greeted" him, and teased: "I just don't know how to get involved.
What does the formation look like?"
“You will know how powerful the grandpas are after you have done it once!” Lu Huaizhong, who was fully armed, couldn’t bear to see Zhe Si Lun’s arrogant appearance and couldn’t help but make provocations.
Zhe Silun laughed and ignored fools like Lu Huaizhong, but he also gained a new understanding of the morale of Tiande's army. No wonder he was able to defeat Xue Zhiqin's thousands of troops. He indeed had the courage to fight well.
"Qiu Shijun, the last Linzhou Tuanlian envoy Zhe Silun, following the imperial edict, went to Hedong to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion. Unexpectedly, we met here. Do you want to welcome Li Kuan's envoy back to Lanzhou?" Zhe Silun turned over and came.
Get off, throw the reins to the soldiers, step forward and clasp your fists.
“General Zhe, the situation in Hedong is difficult to describe in one word. Now that I have the general’s help, I am overjoyed.” Qiu Weidao returned the greeting and said, “I just don’t know where General Zhe wants to go next?”
“I went to put down the Lanshi Rebellion.” Zhe Silun said matter-of-factly.
Qiu Weidao was shocked when he heard this. In his opinion, Kelan's rebel army was scattered in various places, looting the countryside, and had lost the most basic organization and morale of an army. Now they have promoted two ten generals to take the lead, and there is still an internal split.
, the Tiande army has thousands of people, and it is not difficult to pacify it. This is a free effort, but someone actually comes to interfere? What is the Zhejia army doing? If you don’t come early, you won’t come later, but come here at this time.
Picking something cheap makes people feel uncomfortable.
However, I want to think about it in my heart, but I still have to put on a show on my face: "It's a blessing for the people of Shi that we have General Zhe to help me, Lan. This envoy wants to go to Hehe County to meet Li Kuan, but General Zhe wants to go with him?"
"That's fine." Zhe Silun nodded and said, "But are you leaving now?"
"Of course." Qiu Weidao replied, and then ordered Shao Shude: "Vice-general Shao, gather the sergeants, guard the chariots, and set off now."
“Yes!” Shao Shude saluted, then turned around and made arrangements.
Zhe Silun glanced at this low-level officer, and he was somewhat impressed by his ability to run the army. If nothing else, his morale was very high. It seemed that he had been in battle and had seen blood. He was not bad, not as good as him.
Of course, the Xiazhou soldiers who were common in the past were still a little far away from the Zhe family army, at least that's what Zhe Silun thought.
Hehe County is 35 miles south of Heheguan, which is not too far away. If we hurry up today, we should be able to cross the Weifen River and arrive at the county seat before nightfall. Zhe Silun's arrangement department will pick up the remaining troops in Hehejin, and he will
Taking more than a thousand people who had crossed the river, together with Qiu Weidao's subordinates, they headed for the county seat in a mighty manner.
At Shenshi, the large group of troops had just crossed the Weifen River when a reconnaissance cavalry arrived from Hehe County. After asking about the situation, they almost cried with joy. There were only a few hundred soldiers in their county, and they all had poor combat effectiveness.
The second-rate troops, facing the well-deserved main force of Lanzhou's Kelan Army, were afraid from the bottom of their hearts, fearing that they would attack. Now it's better, Tiande Army and Linzhou Army are coming one after another, and the Lan and Shi soldiers will be in chaos soon.
No need to be frightened anymore.
Li Shao, who was in panic in Hehe County, was also overjoyed when he heard the report from the scouts. He went to the ferry to greet him in person, and then took the hands of Qiu Weidao and Zhe Silun and returned to the county government office for wine.
"Qiu Supervisor Army, this observation officer is not very interesting. Commander Cui gave me the important task of controlling the armies of Lan and Shi Prefectures, preparing equipment, food and grass, and blocking the way of thieves going south. Unexpectedly, Kelan's army was in chaos, and Jia
Jingsi was killed, the reward could not be equal, and the envoy ran away in a panic, which was simply a shame. What a sin, what a sin!" In the county office, Li Shao drank a few sips of wine, his face turned red, and he began to pour out the bitter water: "These warriors
, are greedy for money, pervert the law, and are arrogant. The imperial court relies on them to fight against the rebels. It can be said that they are asking for fish in a tree. Alas, let’s not talk about it, drink! Anyway, this has been a big ugly thing. I will go back to Jinyang to accept the crime another day, and let the envoy choose another worthy person.
"
"Why should Li Kuan be so discouraged? No one expected the military turmoil in Lanzhou, what a big deal it is? When we return to Jinyang, there will be a chance to change things, so don't worry." Qiu Weidao advised from the side. Because
Zhe Silun and several observation envoys and assistants were present at the table, but he couldn't elaborate on some things. Li Shao's roots in Jinyang are quite deep. He didn't just have Cui Jikang, there may be many other unknowns.
Qiu Weidao is not very good at seeing the relationship.
Zhe Silun, as a military general, was a little embarrassed to listen to the situation. Civil servants and supervisors were complaining about the military chaos. What could he say? He might as well drink in silence.
"Now that the German army has moved south, it is not a problem to annihilate the rebel army. But I dare to ask Qiu Jianjun, how will Lan and Shizhou abide by the law in the future? The Datong rebels are brave and good at fighting. Once they go south, if there is no effective army to defend them, what will happen to them?
I am afraid that all the people in the nine counties of the state will be devastated. General Hao Du has no idea?" Li Shao seemed a little drunk, but what he said went straight to the core, making Qiu Weidao have to think about it carefully.
In fact, he has been thinking about his future recently. Fengzhou is too small and too poor. He may have thought it was nothing before, but after entering the border of Hedong and gaining some credit with the Tiande Army, his thoughts have changed.
It grows like weeds. Who doesn’t want to oversee a large and powerful town? Who wants to live in a poor and remote small town with a weak vassal that may be attacked and destroyed at any time?
Hedong is out of the question, as his connections are not that strong yet. Qiu Weidao's targets are the Zhenwu Army where the Supervisory Army has just been killed, and the Xia Sui Town where the current Supervisory Army is about to retire and return to Beijing. Originally, the Datong Army seemed to be able to do it, but
Considering that there is a strong Shatuo force in the local area, even if Li Guochang and his son are defeated this time, trouble will inevitably happen again in the future, which will affect his life as a supervisor, so he does not consider it. Zhenwu and Xia Sui are the most suitable.
Especially the latter.
Of course, his godfather recently sent him a letter, saying that there was a war in Hezhong Town last year and the supervisor was killed. The town governs Hezhong Prefecture (formerly Puzhou), Jinzhou, Jiangzhou, Cizhou and Xi(xí) Prefecture. It has many household registrations and is relatively wealthy.
, which has the benefit of salt ponds, it seems that we can fight for it. However, Hezhong is a big town. Although it is not as good as Hedong, it is stronger than Zhenwu and Xia Sui. It cannot be done without making great achievements. This will require the strength of the Tiande Army.
.
Hao Zhenwei, Qiu Weidao believed that he was ambitious. Maybe he originally wanted to compete for the top spot in the history of German defense, but after more than half a year, Qiu Weidao didn't believe that he was still so short-sighted and still stared at Fengzhou.
This is a small vassal that only covers one state and two counties. Among the surrounding towns, which one is not stronger than the Tiande Army? At this point, they actually have common interests and can cooperate. Hao Zhenwei is responsible for leading them.
When soldiers fight a good war, he, Qiu, supervises the army and is responsible for organizing the camp and establishing relationships with the camp and even the capital. Everyone gets what they need and cooperates happily.
Based on this idea, Li Shao has to hurry up. He has a high position in the camp and holds real power. Even though he was killed this time because of Kelan's army, Qiu Weidao judged that it was nothing serious and he could still be active.
Within the camp. Another point is that he has a good relationship with Cui Jikang. Although Cui Marshal is about to take the blame for the defeat of Jingle County, as long as he does not leave for a day, he will be recruiting envoys all day, and he will be asked for all kinds of official documents.
Nodding, such as a document to report victory to the court - the warriors fought with their lives and shed blood, but we can't let all these achievements go to waste just because the joints were not opened officially!
"Li Kuan is indeed very discerning. What does General Hao mean? He wants to eat in Lan and Shizhou. The Tiande army is capable of fighting. With this powerful army, Li Guochang and his son will not be able to get any advantage." Qiu Weidaoye
Let’s not mince words, let’s tell the truth directly. Anyway, any normal person can guess what the Tiande Army is thinking, which is to have a stable logistics base.
When Zhe Silun heard this, he raised his brows. He was the training envoy of the Linzhou Regiment. Strictly speaking, the soldiers under his command were not regular troops of the imperial court, but so-called local men of the Tuan Regiment. But personally, he had no respect for the young men.
He is quite proud of his combat effectiveness. He feels that it is no worse than many traditional armies, such as the shameful Zhelu Army, Kelan Army and so on. He has never seen whether the Tiande Army is strong or not, but he thinks it is quite good. As for whether it can
He didn't think he was comparable to the Zhe family army. But he was no longer a young man. In front of everyone at the wine table, he would not refute, but just smiled disapprovingly.
A group of people drank wine for half the night, with Li, Qiu, and Zhe as the main ones, and the others as foils. At this time of war and chaos, I don’t know how many people are hungry, but those in high positions can enjoy delicious food.
Enjoy it as you like, which made Shao Shude, who had been waiting outside the county government office for half a night, extremely emotional.
With the help of the Zhejia Army, it should not be a problem to quell the military rebellion in Lan and Shi Erzhou. But has the situation of the local people been improved? Maybe not. This shitty world has almost destroyed all the people in the world.
Everyone is trapped in it, everyone is struggling, and they can’t help themselves. Is a peaceful and stable life really so difficult to achieve?
