In the evening of that day, Zhao Zhen held a bonfire for the envoys of the rebels who were going to go their separate ways the next day. Among the hills of Taihang Mountain. The messengers of the rebel army ate meat with drinks, and the meals of the messengers' servants and the soldiers who believed in the king's army contained meat.
On several bonfires, each stands a sheep, and in the huge pot, there are a lot of skinless donkeys. Zhao Zhen always attaches great importance to the reproduction of donkeys, horses and cattle. He has raised many donkeys, horses and cattle. But this does not mean that he breeds for the sake of eating and drinking. These donkeys, horses, and cows are precious and cannot be eaten randomly. Horses are to be used for battle, cattle and donkeys can be farmed and dragged.
This time, there are a few old donkeys that boil in the pot. Zhao Zhen will not kill little donkeys and mature donkeys for his appetite. The donkey skin is peeled off, which can be used to boil glue. Donkey glue is also a kind of medicine for tonic, in fact, it can also aphrodisiac!
In the future Qing Dynasty, donkey-hide gelatin medicines became popular. After being kicked out of the house in the TV series Da Zhai, Bai Qiye made a fortune by making glue, and with this achievement, he returned home and became the parent of Bai Men. From this, we can know the preciousness of donkey skins.
The taste of donkey meat is very good. As the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground. At the same time, there are soups made from donkey bones and sheep bones. The bone soup has become a qualitative food for Zhao Zhen's army. These bone soups are good for supplementing calcium.
At this time, Zhao Zhen seized the opportunity to let his subordinates have meat and calcium supplements. Only if you have good health, strong training intensity, and dare to work hard can you become a good soldier!
In a tall mansion in Yangzhou, Zhao Gou sat quietly on the couch without sleeping. The waiters stood straight to defend his safety.
The cigarettes in the censer on all sides were faint, and the thickly scented smoke made Gaozong Zhao Gou's figure seem ethereal and invisible.
Zhao Gou was overwhelmed at this time, wondering if his imperial decree would successfully disband and destroy the rebels. I don't know if Jin Bing will retreat according to his verbal promise.
Just now he has appointed Du Chong, who is cruel and easy to kill, the former Cangzhou Zhizhou, to take over as Tokyo stay behind. In order to meet the requirements of the Kingdom of Jin, and also to prevent the rebels from becoming bigger and threatening their throne. So Zhao Gou asked him to kill and remove all the "thief" that Zongze had recruited in the past.
Zhao Gou ordered Du Chong not to recognize the troops recruited from the loyal militia in the past and not to pay any payment. As for the Northern Expedition, it was just shouting. Just for the slogan to win over the hearts of the people, the Northern Expedition expelled the golden soldiers and regained the land. For him, it is purely something that will not be realized.
How powerful is Jinbing! The body of his infertile offspring and the enlarged chrysanthemum made him deeply feel Jin Bing's barbarism and his own fear. It would be best if Huizong and Qinzong were dead, and they would avenge the humiliation they had received in the Jin Army. As for the life and death of other brothers and sisters, he doesn't care. The only thing I miss is his mother Webster. As a son of man, Zhao Gou felt a strong guilt he had never felt before.
"Ah----!" Zhao Gou suddenly let out a loud roar, and all the servants gathered around. "Your Majesty! Long live!" The servants thought that Zhao Gou was sick.
After Zhao Gou yelled, his heart eased a lot. "It's okay! Go down!" The waiters returned to their original positions one after another.
Looking back at everything, Zhao Go didn't want to think about it, and he couldn't think about it. Thinking of the passing away Zongze, Zhao Gou was actually a little sad. It was the top beam Yuzhu who persuaded himself not to enter the Jinjun Camp for the second time, so as not to be detained by the Jinjun.
At the beginning, he was ordered to go to Jinying to seek peace, but he was forced to enter the terrifying Jinjun camp again. But at that time, Cizhou, Hebei, was dissuaded by the defender Zongze. He was afraid of entering the Jinjun camp, so he didn't go.
It was this old man who saved himself once, made himself the only one who escaped from the Zhao family, and made himself the emperor. For this reason, and Zhao Gou couldn't resist the gold without Zongze, so Zhao Gou repeatedly tolerated Zongze's defiance of his emperor's order to disband the rebels, and repeated his memorials to the front and even condemned his memorial.
In the evening breeze of the hot summer, the young monarch could not sleep peacefully, and could not extricate himself from his inextricable thoughts.
Suddenly, a sudden sound of footsteps awakened him. When he turned around, he saw that a servant who had been sent out to do errands had been dispatched quickly to kneel down and climb to his couch.
Zhao Gou was shocked. Could it be that Jin Guo broke the contract and sent troops? The servant panted and said, "Long live, long live is not good. The Butterfly Ministry sent an emergency report, and the mission that issued an edict to His Royal Highness King Xin was intercepted on the border between Vauzhou and Jizhou. It is said that it was intercepted. It is a group of bandits, but this group of bandits are well equipped and superb martial arts. They have already massacred all the members of the mission. But Huang Weiting and the deputy envoy are spared, and now they are both in the hands of the golden man. But Huang Weiting It’s not good. I wiped out my eyes, tongue and ears, severed my hands, feet, and tendons. The methods were cruel, and soon he died because of the hot weather, the wound festered. It is said that the golden men are inspecting their soldiers and horses who robbed our mission. According to the deputy envoy, the opponent’s person is very rude and savage, I am afraid it is the golden soldier..."
"Okay! Don't say it!" Zhao envisioned cutting out his eyes, tongue and ears, and severed his hands and feet, and he couldn't help but be afraid. At this time, Wei Bo, who is in charge of Zhao Gou's safety, asked, "How many people are there? How about my junior? How about the hundred samurai he brought?"
The servant who reported the letter said: "I also got the letter from the deputy envoy and passed it to the butterfly department. The number of soldiers on the other side is one hundred and thirty? One hundred infantry, thirty cavalry. And there is one who can fight hard Thousands of fierce generals. In a short period of time, Zhugehou, the lightning swordsman of your junior, was severed by the opponent's arm after a few or two rendezvous, and then almost instantly beheaded by the opponent's fierce generals. All of the 100 warriors and hundreds of soldiers. No one died in the battle. There were no casualties of 130 people on the other side..."
Wei Bo was secretly surprised in his heart, and also secretly regretted that his master had lost one of his best apprentices, and that he had lost a close apprentice. He knew his junior's kung fu, even though he was not as good as his own, he was as perfect as a fire. He can be beheaded in a short period of time, what about himself
Zhao Gou was even more surprised when he heard that, he didn't care about Zhugehou's death. What he cares about is that one hundred and thirty people can kill his hundreds of elite fighters and martial arts masters, which is simply too exaggerated.
Such a powerful army can only be found in the Kingdom of Jin. The army of the Kingdom of Jin is invincible in the world, and he is an army that is afraid of the Kingdom of Jin. It must be a fierce general among the golden soldiers who knew that he had robbed Zhao Zhen by pretending to be a bandit by sending treasures, silk and salt to Zhao Zhen. It seems that this time I am destined to be dumb to eat coptis, and I need to send someone to deliver the decree.
However, in order to avoid being greedily intercepted by the Jinren, Zhao Gou didn't come up with any treasure. He directly sent twenty light cavalry warriors and an eunuch in the house to Zhending to deliver the decree to the King Xin.
Outside the Xindu city of Jizhou. Under the cover of the night, a group of cavalry rode forward with difficulty on the rugged mountain road. After walking ten miles, they entered a dense forest near Xindu City, Jizhou. At this time, Zhao Bangjie ordered a rest, first to recover his physical strength, otherwise there would be no way to fight this battle.
Their army has reached the Xindu City of Jizhou, but Zhao Bangjie has no plan to attack the new capital.
Jizhou Xin was guarded by the Han army who surrendered the Jin Bing. There used to be thousands of garrisons here. But later, as the army of the believer gradually grew larger, the city defenses here began to strengthen. But this is not the front line after all. According to everyone's speculation, although Jin Guo may have changed the garrison. There may be elites of the Golden Army stationed inside, but the number should not change.
Ten thousand people beat one to two thousand people, there is indeed no suspense. But the problem is that the attacker can't deploy in the narrow street terrain, and without any siege equipment, you want to quickly conquer a city with one or two thousand people. You really can't do anything.
Bai Zhangfei, whose real name is Bai Dahe, was the small head of the original group of rebels. When Zhao Zhen led the rebels to move westward from Wuma Mountain, he defected to the Xinwangyi army.
At this time, he was ordered to rush to Xindu City to inquire about the military situation. It's midsummer and the weather is hot. It's really a time when there are more business trips. Although the Jinjun was barbaric, they also knew that they were poor in supplies. In order to facilitate some pro-Golden merchants who smuggled private goods from the south, they were also very tolerant to them.
However, at this time, due to the sudden outbreak of war, there were relatively few business travelers traveling from the north to the south. Bai Zhangfei disguised as a hunter, quietly carrying a few hunted boars, white rabbits and other things, and spent a few coins into the city.
Bai Zhangfei knew that information could only be obtained in the wine shop frequented by the officers and soldiers of the Jin Army, so he sold his prey in the wine shop, and he began to drink in it.
In the Golden Army, no one is allowed to drink. Only the officers could drink. There were only a few defending officers in the wine shop where the Jin Army often went. When the wine was hot, they didn't stop talking, and inadvertently revealed an important news. Tomorrow, a large convoy of trucks will pass through Xindu and deliver grain, grass and supplies to the Golden Army, which is preparing to move to the direction of Yangzhou in the south and the occupied area of King Xinwang in the north.
Bai Zhangfei rushed back immediately after receiving the news and told Zhao Bangjie in the dense forest the news. After hearing this, Zhao Bangjie was overjoyed, and urged Wang Jin and Xiao Deli who had come together to discuss. This is really God's help, not only sent countless luggage, but also sent a chance to win the faith.
The three of them discussed it and decided to pretend to be bandits and rob the convoy on the mountain road near Xindu, creating an evenly matched appearance.
This batch of grain, grass, cattle, horses and sheep is enough for hundreds of thousands of Jinjun to eat for more than ten days, which is very important. The golden army in Xindu City will definitely come to rescue. First draw out the golden army in the city, and then the rebels can take advantage of the momentum to seize the capital.
In the early hours of the morning, the Dragon and Wolf Riding the First, Third, and Fifth Battalions marched quickly, lying in ambush in the forests on both sides of the mountain road. In the morning, the Golden Army’s cargo convoy appeared, with thousands of large carriages, thousands of horses carrying supplies, tens of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep, and tens of thousands of porters and strong men. A huge truck fleet stretches for miles.
The Golden Army's heavy truck fleet is so huge, it seems that hundreds of thousands of people may not be able to eat it for more than a dozen days. However, it is normal to think about it carefully. The road from north to south is far away, and the road is quite expensive. Coupled with the consumption and supplies of the troops stationed in various places, the heavy-duty convoy is not only used to supply the frontline troops, of course the entire team is huge.
After seeing the huge truck fleet, Wang Jin immediately ordered the first battalion dragon wolves to cut off the truck's back path and prevent them from escaping. Don't talk about a soldier or a civilian, even a livestock can't let it go. The news that the Rebels captured Xindudi can be delayed for a moment, which can help the Rebels have more time to build a defensive position. It can also give the supporting troops more time to come.
The Dragon Wolf rode the third and fifth battalions, encircled from both sides of the mountain road, and besieged and killed the Golden Sergeant who escorted the heavy convoy. And the second and fourth battalions of the Dragon and Wolf Cavalry and the fourth and fifth battalions of the Black Dragon and Cavalry were on standby. When the reinforcements from Xinducheng arrived, they would all be dispatched.
And Xiao Deli led the three thousand cavalrymen of the Black Dragon Army and Cavalry First, Second, and Third Battalions, lurking near Xindu City, ready to seize the city at any time.
The dragon and wolf riders of the first battalion were like arrows from the string, quickly cutting off the retreat of the heavy team. Wang Jin then commanded two thousand cavalry soldiers and attacked along both sides of the mountain road. Two thousand cavalry roared out from the forest.
"Kill! Kill!" "Kill...!" "Kill!" While shouting, Jin Jun's huge truck fleet was stunned. Since there are no large rebels around, there are only two thousand golden cavalrymen escorting such a huge squadron.
Two thousand golden soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians stared at the overwhelming rebels with their mouths stunned. They couldn't react for a while, and they were surrounded by the rebels. Countless civilians were immediately captured by a thousand dragon and wolf soldiers who had killed and wounded. After being caught, many people still seem to be dreaming, not knowing who the enemy is.
A group of golden troops quickly broke through the encirclement and rushed towards Xindu, and the rebels deliberately let go of a group of golden cavalry at the forefront of the heavy convoy.
These golden soldiers who ran out fled to Xindu for help as quickly as possible. This batch of grain and livestock has a major bearing on it. The defenders stationed in Xindu didn't even think about it, and immediately rushed out of the barrier.
Apart from bandits and bandits, there are no other enemies nearby. Although the Xin Wang Yijun is very close to them, they would not know if they want to invade on a large scale. They didn't expect that the cavalry of the Xinwangyi Army had reached the bottom of Xindu City, walking toward the dense forest on the mountain road at the end of the night.
The defenders estimated that some bandits were hungry and crazy. This is an important part of the Golden Army's heavy-duty caravan, and it dares to snatch it. It's purely seeking death.
The garrison of Xindu has increased to two thousand men, one thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry. They sent 1,500 people to rush out of the city, rushed for a few miles, and after turning a hill, they stopped suddenly.
On the mountain road ahead, rows of Rebel cavalry soldiers are rushing, and the big flags tell them that this is the Wang Yijun.
how can that be? Isn't Xin Wang Yijun entrenched in Vaud? Why did you come to Jizhou when? Flying with wings? But now the Jinjun generals don't have time to think about this issue. There are too many rebels and they are killing aggressively along the mountain road. They are not opponents at all. Now I don’t care about the food, and my name is almost gone, so I should just withdraw the letter and stick to it.
Under the leadership of the generals, the Jin Jun whizzed around and ran away. When they ran near Xindu to take a look, they immediately froze. Below the city of Xindu, another line of Rebel cavalry soldiers lined up in front of the city, blocking their retreat. Looking up again, the golden soldiers exclaimed in shock. The golden army flag on the tower is falling from the sky, and the red flag of Xin Wang Yijun is rising rapidly, dancing wildly in the wind.
"Kill!" The war horse galloped, and its weapons flew. The outnumbered golden soldiers were quickly wiped out by the rebel cavalry of the lion. Most of the golden soldiers were either killed or surrendered, and only a few hundreds fled.
In battle, it is almost difficult to make the opponent unable to escape. Zhao Bangjie quickly collected soldiers, horses, food, livestock and luggage, and kept his faith in the capital, waiting for the faith king Zhao Zhen to personally lead the rebel brigade to come and support.
For Zhao Bangjie, all this is incredible. The Rebels not only easily won the letter capital, but also seized a large amount of food and grass. A surprise attack on Xindu along the mountain road from Vaud, it was indeed unexpected and hit with one blow. Apart from Zhao Zhen, who else could think of such a strategy? Zhao Bangjie couldn't help being very proud of his son-in-law.
His Royal Highness, King Xin, they have long known that Gaozong Zhao Gou may be an eunuch or the following was injured. Anyway, he is barren, so Wang Xin is the first candidate to inherit the position of prince.
Then in the future, his daughter may be the imperial concubine, and he will also be regarded as the imperial relative in the future. For his own future, for the glory of the family, Zhao Bangjie can now be said to have placed all his bets on Zhao Zhen, the king of faith. Fight with Jinbing with all your strength.
The long-range raid and the victory of Xindu were all expected by Zhao Bangjie and others. But by the way, they intercepted a large golden army's heavy squad and seized a large amount of grain, grass, and livestock, which was far beyond their expectations. With these food and grass weapons, plus tens of thousands of faith kings marching here, keeping the letter is definitely not a problem.
At this time, the main generals of the Jin army got the hand of Emperor Jin Taizong. Knowing that Zhao Zhen, the king of the letter, was attacking the city and plundering land on Hebei Road, Hedong, it has become a climate. Of course, Jin Taizong would not willingly lower his arrogant head, give up his dignity, and let the former slaves and captives conquer the land he had already occupied.
He wants to save his face. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is only necessary to encircle and suppress the rebels as soon as possible, and kill Zhao Zhen and a group of anti-thief. He can free his hands, gather his forces, and continue to attack Zhao Gou, Gaozong of Song Dynasty, and occupy the whole world.
To this end, he personally issued an edict to the commanders on the front line. Order them to change the established strategy and urge them to launch a new offense immediately. His wording in the imperial edict was extremely harsh.
On the east road, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyanchang, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyanlou room on the west road, and Pu Jianu who left Shouyang urgently due to military situation and rushed to the front line, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin on the middle road, and the end guarded by Shouyang. Yan Tolalan and others were all ordered by the emperor. If the armies are still holding back and do not do their best, he will be severely punished.
