At the same time, the northeastern part of Liaoning has moved into the territory of Songmo Dudu Mansion, and arrived at the bank of Huangshui, a tributary of the upper reaches of Liaoshui River, and is investigating hydrology, collecting equipment and preparing to cross the river in the Liaodong dispatched army.
"What, Lu Longjun was defeated? But it's true!"
As the temporary commander of the dispatching army, Lin Ming was also surprised:
"It's true, but the brothers in the Lu Longjun who accompanied Lu Longjun desperately rushed out to report the letter..."
As the leader of the enemy's detective team, Zheng Yi Damao opened his voice:
"Then, can you bring back the reasons for Lu Longjun's defeat..."
Lin Ming asked again:
"General General, among the brothers who have escaped, there happened to be an observer who was ordered to follow in the Chinese Army's tent. It was just that he was seriously injured and unconscious, and he is still being treated now..."
Yi Damao responded:
"Then ask the army doctors of traditional Chinese medicine if there is an expedient way to wake people up for questioning first!"
Lin Ming thought for a while and said flatly:
After a while, Lin Ming led a group of military generals and stood in front of the seriously wounded man who had just awakened from the drug. After showing his identity sign, he said in a calm voice:
"I am the commander of the Liaodong army. According to the second section of Article 53 of the battlefield of the "Taiping Army", with the highest priority command sequence and temporary disposal clauses, you will be recruited on the spot and incorporated into your temporary belonging; now it is a matter of military affairs. The urgency and the success or failure of this passer-by, please tell me carefully what you have seen in Lu Longjun..."
"Lu Longjun... Originally... It was a trend of advancing leaps and bounds... Step by step is pressing against Raocheng... Songmo Mansion... Governance... Yubei Mountain... Hengkong Valley... Breaking through several bursts in a row..."
This injured observer slowly began to speak with difficulty, but every word he said seemed to have affected the wounds shot through the chest and abdomen, and the pain became intermittent.
"It's just... before the decisive battle with the King of Khitan... Suddenly change the course... Call all the generals... Said that there is Dongxi... Approximately the internal response... Can raise a strange soldier... to directly take the king's account..."
"The generals... There are many persuasion. Be cautious... It is to order Liu Ren Gong's Ministry... to force the Tuqi... to continue... to cover up and kill to echo... Of course, Liu's department is gone forever... The battle is in the air... Yu Raocheng... the wolves and... the king’s account is empty inside and outside... the four fields are ambushing..."
"Li Shuai Nai...According to the city's battle,... But the city... has long been... The water source is exhausted... The river canal is dug, and although the battle is played in turn... The enemy is defeated several times, but it is still not defeated... The water will be defeated... Exhausted... and the left wing... the back line and the heavy team... not too late..."
"Li Shuai... Even the night... With the tooth soldiers as the first to kill. Forced to retreat. All the way... And fight and go... Return to Beishan Pass... Of course. The right wing... From the Xixi of the war... Suddenly backwater... Attacked the guards... the camps behind the mountain pass... the healthy soldiers and the camps... burned and plundered food and equipment... robbed the livestock and horses."
"Retreat to this point... Behind the mountain... Unite... Keep catching. All men and horses... are in an uproar... rushing to flee... Congesting the road; Silver gourd and tyrant... Shuai's main formation... the dead battle behind the palace... and made me wait... and rushed for help..."
Speaking of this in one breath, the seriously injured observer had exhausted all his energy and passed away again. However, these contents alone were enough for Lin Ming to get enough information and make corresponding judgments and studies. Then, at the military deployment meeting convened temporarily, he spoke without hesitation:
"At this time, it is even more impossible to retreat. We must continue to march and seize this fleeting opportunity..."
"What does the general mean?"
As one of the captains of the dispatched army, Li Yuyuan couldn't help but said in shock:
"This is the end of the matter, let alone give the Khitan people a respite from turning around and breaking each other..."
Lin Ming continued to say categorically:
"According to my order, all the horses will be concentrated with only fifteen days of food; abandon the excess burden and all the prisoners and gains, and hand them to the follow-up assistants to contain them, and then speed up the march; riding on the Qidan Babu is still full To deal with the intermission of Lu Long’s defeat, follow Huangshui and take the empty palace and livestock fields behind it..."
"Don’t take prisoners, don’t capture wherever you go. Kill all adult males, cattle and sheep wherever you go. Even if you can’t win for a while or bury your bones in a foreign land, you must try your best to hurt the Qidan’s eight vitality. You can't be the side trouble for a few years. Do you have the determination to go with me?"
"Sweep out Hulu, only see peace..."
"The long car stepped on the side to recreate the Tianwei..."
The generals present showed a certain color of fascination, expectation and determination, and rushed to answer in unison: Therefore, after this, the Liaodong dispatched army of more than 10,000 people quickly accelerated in the rapid march, continuously Throwing away the extra objects all the way, and the arrow-like smashed towards the other branch linked by Huangshui-Tuhuzhen River, the upper reaches of the Daqingshan Winter Camp and the Daban city where the king's court stayed.
Then, there were countless howling camps on the road, as well as blood-stained journeys paved with the corpses of livestock and young men.
At the same time, Zhou Huai'an's parade team also took vehicles and boats along the old Cao River in Yunzhou within the territory of the Tianping Army into the turbulent Yellow River.
Of course, when the waters of the Yellow River were not as yellowish and turbid as later generations because of the serious water and soil erosion in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Zhou Huaian could not let Shixing throw another impromptu (plagiarism celebrity). Classic) works:
"On the Nine Heavens of the Yellow River, people and ghosts look down upon it.
Long winds raging and high waves, flying sun and cold.
It looks like Lu Liang Qianren, strong like Qiantang in August, straight down to wash away the world.
Vientiane collapsed, and it was still idle.
Looking up to the dangerous nest, the two birds pass, it is difficult to climb.
What's the use of this danger in the world
You don't need to shoot the rhinoceros, and you may not fly strong shots, and forcefully obstruct the waves, call out the whale riders, and the Poseidon drums over the Silver Mountain. "
"Shui Tiao Ge Tou? Fu San Men Jin" (Song, Yuan Haowen)
As a companion, there were also Zhu Laosan and others who were in white clothes and unarmed, and Qingqijian came to see him. This is also the first time I met again after the occasional encounter on the river in Jiangzhou, after many years; but the fascination and exchanges before this have been going on for many times. At least from a certain point of view, Zhou Huaian had already known him very well.
In addition, his brother Zhu Cun stayed in the middle to ease his cheeks and harmonize and liven up the atmosphere. So when I saw him again, he quickly went from being full of awe and restraint to the courtesy and courtesy of keeping a distance. Jing, slowly became familiar and kind. And he personally brought a roster, almost all of his confidants and relatives jumped onto it.
Most of them took the form of swearing in and took the initiative to respond to the Taiping Army’s external campaigns, and expressed their willingness to do their best as a small boss; only a few individuals chose to bring their wealth and wealth accumulated over the years The materials he gifted were used in the Dacheng Town designated by the Taiping Army to restart the daily life of the rich.
In addition, there are some names that are known by the Taiping Army but do not appear on it. According to his cryptic expression, it seems that they will never appear again. As for the dismissal and elimination of ordinary soldiers under his command, he also completely handed over to Zhang Juyan, who was based in Henan, and he left the relationship indifferently.
Therefore, the ones that can be retained in the end are mainly the generals of the former Eastern Capital Army and the soldiers who have followed their sides all the year round to form a relatively stable relationship of attachment; there are probably more than three thousand people together; this is also the case. Respond to the main armed forces developing outside the territory at one time. Zhou Huaian was even more satisfied with this result.
At least if he is willing to set an example, then he doesn't mind giving him a relatively decent and preferential result in this time and space. Fang Ran, it is impossible to continue to hold real power under the new dynasty system, but he is still relatively young and powerful and can continue to play some residual heat in the overseas expansion.
Of course, with Zhou Huaian’s parade team entering Hebei, in addition to the guard's relatives Zuoying (2000 members) and the five battle barracks of the First Army, there were also follow-ups from Henan provinces, well-equipped. Forty-seven battalions that have been spared enough, about 35,000 troops; and correspondingly enough food, equipment and supplies and more than 20,000 people for transport and service for half a year of continuous combat.
When Zhou Huai'an arrived at the famous mansion in Weizhou Prefecture, the Tianping Army Festival Commander Cao Xiang and Heyang Army Capital Yuhou Zhuge Zhongfang, who were stationed there, came to visit him; therefore, after the next day, he got the advice of his father as early as possible. Zhuge Zhongfang of Zhuge got the position he wanted, and as a high-level counselor, he received a guarantee of wealth and wealth in the Ziyi Bureau under the leadership of Yang Shigu.
Cao Xiang is going to be more troublesome. In any case, he didn't want to continue to lead soldiers in the new dynasty, but only wanted to do something in the frontier; therefore, the position of the ambassador of Yingtian on Liaodong Road was reserved for him. It's just that the current situation in Liaodong hasn't settled yet, and he has to prepare for a period of time before he can take office. Before that, he can only stay in the parade for a while.
In addition to the three strongest and most powerful peripheral and subordinate forces, there are actually some small and medium-sized local forces that have worked in pieces or are attached to the Taiping Army; they also took this opportunity to come to see them one after another. However, they don't have this kind of benefits and treatment; it is the best result to be able to retreat and bring their relatives and family members to live a wealthy life in the designated famous city.
In fact, Zhou Huaian expects more negative examples of ignorance of current affairs or chances to come out, and then use this link and liquidation of the previous article, so as to continue to contribute to the future purity of local government and ruling order. However, as it is today, the trend of unification has become very obvious, and it has become difficult to conduct phishing law enforcement in a self-deceiving manner.
The chickens that are horrified monkeys have killed too many along the way; the remaining "chickens" are all lying down, and they would rather be exiled and distributed by the clan, arrange management and be placed in different places than get up. The lifelessness of resisting and doing something dying and struggling. This is a bit embarrassing. Although the Taiping Army severely suppressed all reactionary and backward forces, it is impossible to arrange charges against them out of nothing.
As for the earlier claims of robbers and refugees crossing the border, you cannot always beat yourself in the face in an area that has been occupied and restored to peace. Under such circumstances, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but miss Zhu Laosan and others. It was not the time when he was justified by his subordinates. The benefits and conveniences of being a tool person were no longer there. (End of this chapter)
