Under the attack of tens of thousands of troops from the east and west, the Qi people were defeated like a mountain and were completely defeated.
When the battle got dark, the bandit army was basically destroyed, and each unit began to count their gains.
Shao Shude entered the Jiugoubo bandit camp and looked at Zhu Qiong kneeling in front of him.
Zhu Qiong was pitiful and covered in stains, as if she had been captured in the swamp mud.
"Behead him." Shao Shude waved his hand and said.
The soldiers immediately dragged him to the edge of the water, raised the knife and brought the head over a moment later.
"You go to Yunzhou immediately, take five hundred people with you, and form the state army." Shao Shude played with Zhu Qiong's head and said: "Ten days ago, I ordered Ruzhou to surrender 4,000 troops to the east. These people,
I will allocate it as appropriate."
It had been decided for a long time that Ye Li Kecheng would be appointed as the commander of the Yunzhou Prefectural Army. Shao Shude gave him three hundred personal soldiers and two hundred straight knights with silver saddles as the skeleton of the Yunzhou Prefectural Army. The rest of the troops would be filled in in March, and then Qinqin
Increase your training and improve your combat effectiveness.
The so-called Ruzhou surrender was actually the "first phase" of Liang Jun's surrender, totaling 35,000. After reorganizing the armies and picking and choosing, there were only 12,000 left, and another 6,000 were sent to Tanshan.
The next six thousand were used to make up for two thousand, and the remaining four thousand were all transferred eastward.
There are already 1,500 state soldiers in Qizhou, and recruitment notices have been posted. It is easy to recruit 500 new soldiers. The 4,000 people transferred from the east will be given to Wang Jiao, and another 1,000 will be given, making up a total of 3,000 troops.
Ye Li Kecheng will also receive one thousand, and Yunzhou will recruit another five hundred, so there will be two thousand people. With the remaining one thousand, Shao Shude plans to select from Qizhou's surrendered troops.
These two states are connected together and are close to the towns in Hebei. They are still very important. The state army is indispensable.
"As ordered." Ye Li Kecheng responded immediately without any nonsense.
After he leaves, the position of military commander will be taken over by Li Yixian.
Li Yixian, son of Li Duo.
After his father died in the battle during the attack on Xin'an, Li Yixian became a "transfer student" to the eldest son, Shao Chengjie, to learn literature and martial arts. He was already quite young, in his twenties, and was later transferred to the military capital.
The army was still chasing people north, and Shao Shude was not interested in watching. After resting for the night, the generals reported: more than 3,000 people were beheaded, 4,000 were captured, and a few thieves were drowned in the ditch.
Shao Shude ordered the captive Tutuan fellows to be released, leaving two thousand. He picked one thousand and gave it to Ye Li Kecheng, who was ordered to take him to Yunzhou immediately. The remaining thousand prisoners returned to Qizhou with the army. At that time, it was already
The second day of March.
Liu Wei has withdrawn his troops, and the reason is unknown. It is speculated that one is that there are enemies in Dizhou, and Wang Shiyue is unable to fight alone, so he may not be able to deal with the Yichang army; the other is that the Feilong army has been active in Qingzhou and attacked Linqu County, which is only one step away from Qingzhou.
Don’t retreat.
No matter if he retreats, Xia's army is marching long distances and fighting continuously. They have been fighting for two months and they still need to take a breather.
Shao Shude inspected the troops in Licheng and handed out a reward. He was given one piece of money and one piece of silk. It seemed a little hard to get, but it was not too bad.
Then he ordered the reorganization of various ministries and the establishment of left and right generals.
General Tu now has more than 11,000 troops, including thousands of Yun soldiers. There are more than 4,000 Tielin troops, more than 4,000 Yameni troops, and 1,000 Qizhou surrender troops.
The Liang army surrendered, and the generals on the left and right had 24,000 troops, all of whom were infantry.
There is still a shortage of 6,000 cavalry, and Shao Shude has not yet decided where to make up for it. Maybe they will be transferred from the disaster relief army, or maybe they will find a way from other aspects. We will discuss it later.
The military envoy of General Tu on the left and right is Kang Yanxiao, the deputy envoy is Zhe Butai, the Du Yuhou is Li Yanwei, and the Du Youyi envoy is temporarily absent.
There are also two positions that are humble but have real power to lead troops.
He plans to confer the post of military envoy on the left side to Wei Cai Bo Bu of the Wei Cai Department in Dijin Ze, whose Chinese name is Wei Rang. This person is still in Hetao, and he has sent a messenger five hundred miles away to hurry up and take up his post.
The military envoy to the right wing was sent to Zhang Shensi. He was still living in Bianzhou and an envoy was sent to report.
There are only two old men in Xia Jun and three in Liang Di. They have different positions in the army. This is a chance for them. It is also Shao Shude's move to win people's hearts.
After the Tu General was formed, Shao Shude gave them three days to get familiar with it.
Considering that there will be fighting ahead, this reorganization is not complete and the original organization is not broken up, so that the officers and soldiers will not know the basics and everyone will be confused. The reorganization will be carried out after the periodic war is over.
For a moment, Qizhou came to a standstill.
Only Shao Bo, the governor of Dizhou, was anxious. After getting permission, he left with more than 3,000 people and headed north all the way back to Dizhou. Shao Shude ordered Yuhou Fu Yanchao, the capital of the Nanyang Army, to accompany him with more than 4,000 horses to assist Shao Bo.

After the Zhongwu Army completed the pontoon bridge on the Ji River, they began to build a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River. After the construction was completed, three thousand soldiers crossed the river to the north bank. Wang Shike had long since disappeared.
But the gesture still needs to be made, and Zhao Yan knows this well.
Whether you can catch up or not is one thing, but whether you can catch up or not is another matter. This is a matter of attitude and loyalty.
On the third day of March, after staying in Bozhou for a while, Zhao Yan saw Wei Bo's army approaching them and Zhao Yan decisively ordered a retreat.
The soul-stirring sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from the north.
Thousands of horsemen appeared on the field, rushing straight towards the Zhongwu Army like arrows from a string.
Zhao Yan cursed secretly, Wei Bowufu was too arrogant, so disrespectful. Didn't he just plunder a few villages? He didn't rob women, so what?
"Follow me and come forward to block!" Seeing that the first group of thousands of people had just withdrawn, and the second group had just begun to climb the pontoon, Zhao Yan became anxious and personally led 500 infantrymen, holding long guns, to form a formation to stop them.
The enemy cavalry approached quickly and slowed down a bit. Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was just trying to scare you and "see off".
Unexpectedly, at this moment, another group of cavalry came from behind, and when they got close, they all dismounted.
The leading general was holding a large bow. The length of the bow tip was astonishing. I didn't know how far the shooting range was.
I saw him looking up, then picking up his bow and arrow, and fired several arrows in succession.
People on the Zhongwu Army side kept falling to the ground, and even Zhao Yan was hit by an arrow. His shoulders were so painful that he couldn't lift his arms.
"Yai Nei, let's go!" The soldiers hurriedly supported him and ran towards the pontoon.
As soon as Zhao Yan ran away, the five hundred Zhongwu troops lost their morale and retreated one after another.
The enemy's cavalry came on horseback, dancing with their iron maces, iron maces, and horses, killing many people until they were completely routed.
The enemy general was walking leisurely in the courtyard, firing his bow continuously, and his arrows were always fired accurately and accurately.
The Zhongwu Army completely collapsed. There was a chaos on the pontoon bridge, and people were constantly being pushed down and disappeared into the cold river water.
"Quick! Set fire!" Zhao Yan immediately ordered after rolling and crawling across the pontoon bridge.
Firewood and kerosene are piled under the pontoon. They are disposable items. It is normal to dismantle and burn them after use.
"Yameni, there are still some of our people on the pontoon..." an officer said hesitantly.
"Set fire immediately. There are not many defenders on the south bank. If the rebel army is allowed to suddenly come over, Changqing and Pingyin will be destroyed, quickly!" Zhao Yan grinned in pain and said angrily.
"As ordered." The officer didn't dare to talk nonsense and immediately poured kerosene on the firewood and lit the firewood.
A raging fire burned.
The faces of the Zhongwu Army officers who were still crossing the river changed greatly. Some people quickened their pace and rushed back before the pontoon bridge broke. Some people lost their armor and equipment and ran away while cursing. Some people saw that it was too late and could only walk back to meet them.
They were infantry that charged as a whole team, and the enemy also had heavy infantry on horseback.
There is no suspense about the fate of these people. They were basically beheaded on the pontoon and then thrown into the river.
The fire became more and more intense, and the pontoon was burned to pieces, deformed, broken, disintegrated, and floated downstream.
Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. His underwear was saved, but the personal losses were a bit heavy.
"Who is this?" He was a little ashamed. He was beaten like a dog and he didn't even know the identity of his enemy.
No one paid attention to him.
Warriors also have tempers. It is normal to run for one's life on the battlefield, but what Zhao Yan did was really disgusting. If it weren't for the Zhao family in Chen and Xu Erzhou's extremely high prestige, someone would have already clamored for his head.
After a long while, an officer said: "Just before I fled, I vaguely saw the general's flag, which should be the Jin general Mi Zhicheng's troops."
"There should be more than one." After someone spoke, others interrupted one after another.
"There are several thousand people. There are armored cavalry who charge and kill, light cavalry who ride and shoot, and some who dismount and fight on foot. There must be more than one of them, but they must be Jin soldiers."
"I also saw a general named Ma. Is there any general named Ma in the Jin army?"
"Yunzhou is very empty. If it is full, it will have more than 10,000 troops."
Zhao Yan sighed and said: "When someone comes, report this military information to the king immediately."

Outside the city of Weizhou, Zhu Quanzhong's soul emerged and he fled in embarrassment.
Li Keyong's eyes were about to burst and he went into battle to chase and kill him personally.
These days, Shao Shude has been wondering where his sworn brother Li Keyong is going to hit. Now that the case has been solved, he is hitting Zhu Quanzhong.
The Yier Army, the Tuo Cavalry Army, the Tuo Formation Army, the Tielin Army, and the Hengchong Army are all the most elite troops of the Jin Army. You can tell by their numbers that they are all tough men.
Now these tough men are chasing Zhu Quanzhong and vow to kill him.
Wei Bo watched from the sidelines, neither of them helping each other.
The land of six states is now like a public toilet, anyone can come and anyone can leave.
Xia's army came and left, Qi's army came and left, and Jin's army could certainly come too.
In fact, Luo Hongxin still wanted to protect Zhu Quanzhong, so he made concessions and allowed the Jin army to pass through the border to transport supplies. Unfortunately, Li Keyong had a bad temper, and the army came to Weizhou City. He must give an explanation.
Luo Hongxin sent an envoy to persuade Li Keyong, but Li Keyong did not listen at all. He also found out where the Huazhou soldiers were stationed, and launched a surprise attack to defeat them.
Seeing this behavior, Wei Bowufu suggested expelling Zhu Quanzhong. Luo Hongxin had nothing to say, so he could only hold his nose and agree, and expelled Zhu Quanzhong and his cronies from Weizhou.
The chase was brutal.
Zhu Quanzhong fled in a hurry with five fast horses, escorted by his nephew.
Li Zhen had been captured, Jingxiang was missing, Han Qing was killed in the military camp, and Wang Yanzhang killed two Jin generals and broke through the encirclement.
Tens of thousands of troops were defeated and his followers were scattered. Zhu Quanzhong felt sad as he walked.
The world is so big, where can he run?
To the north and west is Li Keyong's territory, to the south and east is Shao's territory, that is, Jizhou and Dezhou in the northeast can escape.
However, Wang Rong, the governor of Zhenji Jiedu, had long been defeated by Li Keyong and was now his vassal, facing a certain death.
Although Cangjing Lu Yanwei was not as respectful as Wang Rong was to Li Keyong, he was not a troubled person, and it would probably be bad if he went there.
Where can I escape?
In despair, Zhu Quanzhong had to shed a few tears.
"Go to Dezhou first, then go to Dizhou." Zhu Quanzhong calmed down and headed east with more than 2,000 riders.
Despair is despair, and Zhu Quanzhong will definitely not commit suicide until the last moment.
As long as there is still a breath left, there is still a chance. Back in the Chao Army, we were defeated so many times and ran away, didn't we all make it through?
Dizhou is the territory of Wang Normal University. After going there, you may be able to take a breather temporarily.
