Chapter 115 The situation changed suddenly (3)

Although they were full of doubts, everyone still carried out Li Rupei's orders, especially Gao Chibang, Huang Biao and others. In their opinion, the Iron Blood Army had been resting for a long time, because Li Rupei temporarily disagreed with expanding the number of troops due to the expenses of military pay. Therefore, during the rest period, they mainly focused on improving the combat capabilities and discipline requirements of the Iron Blood Army soldiers. It can be said that the training during this period has achieved significant results.

But after all, training cannot be compared with conquests. Only by truly fighting on the battlefield can the army's combat effectiveness be quickly improved and the soldiers can have a more tacit understanding and unity.

The preparation for combat is extraordinary. It not only needs to consider the supply of food and grass, but also the deployment of marching operations. Negligence in any aspect may lead to an increase in casualties and even a failure in the battle.

Half a month passed quickly.

A shocking situation has occurred.

First of all, the situation in Huainan changed drastically. After a period of rest, Huang Chao basically recovered his vitality. After learning that Gao Pian was coming to reinforce the Restoration Army, Zhaowen and Yiwu Army immediately turned against each other and were unwilling to continue to surrender to the court. They also took the initiative to send troops to attack Gao Pian's troops. Gao Pian was teased and did not consider too much. He sent the most capable general Zhang Lin to attack. As a result, Zhang Lin, who had won many battles many times, had no good luck this time. He was ambushed by Huang Chao. After fighting hard, he was defeated by Huang Chao and suffered heavy losses. He was also killed by Huang Chao's generals.

Zhang Lin was Gao Pian's most respected general. It is no exaggeration to say that Gao Pian relied on Zhang Lin's courage in all the battles in attacking Huang Chao. Zhang Lin died in battle, and Gao Pian lost his support.

Huang Chao and his subordinates were also afraid of Zhang Lin. In many previous battles, Huang Chao and his subordinates were defeated by Zhang Lin. This time, they finally raised their heads and killed Zhang Lin. The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted and the attack began to become more and more fierce.

Compared with the two, the battle situation in Huainan has undergone a fundamental change. Gao Pian, who has been in an offensive state, immediately contracted his army and began to focus on defense. Huang Chao, who has been in a defensive state, completely adopted an offensive approach and repeatedly won victory. On the one hand, he pressed step by step, and on the other hand, he retreated to defend. Seeing that Gao Pian could not complete the trust of the emperor and the court, let alone wiped out Huang Chao, he could not be completely eliminated by Huang Chao, even if God blessed him.

The second is the adjustment of the candidate for the Shandong East Road. Yu Chenghui and others believed that Liu Jurong would continue to serve as the Shandong East Road. Ma Tengyun might strengthen coordination and let Liu Jurong and Lu Yanhong join forces to deal with the Iron Blood Army. But they never expected that the court adjusted the candidate for the Shandong East Road candidate for the Shandong East Road within such a quick time. The one who took over the position of Shandong East Road was Liu Ziheng, the commander of the Shence Army.

Liu Ziheng was Tian Lingzi's absolute confidant. Such adjustment indicates that Liu Ziheng will unite with Lu Yanhong and begin to attack the Iron Blood Army in an all-round way. Such adjustment further shows that Tian Lingzi had absolute power in the court, and was devoted to destroying the Iron Blood Army, thinking about killing Li Rupei.

Finally, there was a change in the court. Gao Pian was defeated and the court was shocked. Lu Xie, the prime minister who had trusted Gao Pian very much, always asked the court to give Gao Pian great power and believed that Gao Pian could completely wipe out Huang Chao. However, this time Gao Pian's defeat was equivalent to slapping Lu Xie in the face. Lu Xie temporarily claimed that he was sick and did not attend court. In fact, it was to avoid being attacked by many civil and military ministers. Lu Xie was the first prime minister and the only prime minister who could speak with many eunuchs. The most important thing was that Lu Xie and Tian Lingzi had a good relationship. This time, Lu Xie was sick and lacked ministers in the court who communicated with eunuchs, which led to great power in the court and began to tilt towards Tian Lingzi's hands significantly.

One after another, Yu Chenghui, Tan Mingxiao and others were stunned. They began to think about the arrangements made by Li Rupei and began to discover Li Rupei's extraordinary foresight. Judging from the current changes, the arrangements made by Li Rupei were very appropriate and completely necessary. According to such arrangements, the prepared Iron Blood Army could launch an attack on Liangzhou at this time and defeat Lu Yanhong in one fell swoop. This kind of attack was very sudden and Lu Yanhong could not be prepared.

Moreover, Huang Chao began to sweep across Huainan, and the court must have a headache and had to make many related arrangements. In theory, there was no energy to consider the matters of the Iron Blood Army.

Li Rupei's analysis is so amazing.

Bazhou Prefecture Yamen, wing room.

This time it was not a discussion, but a combat deployment.

The difference is that no one who attended the meeting made a speech. They looked at Li Rupei and waited for the order. In everyone's opinion, if you do it according to Li Lang's requirements, you will definitely be able to worry-free.

Li Rupei's expression was still very serious, which was completely inconsistent with his age. If outsiders saw this scene, they would not believe it. A group of older people stood up and looked at the youngest Li Rupei, waiting for the order.

"In just half a month, the situation has changed a lot. The Iron Blood Army does not need to consider the many changes in Huainan and the capital Chang'an. The Iron Blood Army does not need to consider it for the time being. The opportunity to appear is very rare. Even if the Iron Blood Army completely defeated Lu Yanhong and completely occupied Shannan West Road, the court was unable to take it into consideration. It was expected that Huang Chao would make more noise, which made the court exhausted. Under such circumstances, the Iron Blood Army would never sit idly by."

"My decision was that the Iron Blood Army directly attacked Liangzhou, completely destroyed the Ya Army under Lu Yanhong's command, the Yawai Army and the Waizhen Army, and then occupied the entire Shannan West Road. The battle could not last too long and must end in about a month. After completely defeating Lu Yanhong, the Iron Blood Army could not rest and turned to attack Xiangyang."

"Liu Ziheng first arrived in Xiangyang and needed time to adjust his troops. These troops were commanded by Liu Jurong before. The cunning Liu Jurong must have arranged a lot of confidants. Liu Ziheng thought that it would take a long time to completely control the army, and he would not give him this opportunity."

"The specific combat deployment has been roughly listed. I will discuss with the masters, Huang Biao and Song Hu later. If the Iron Blood Army will go to the expedition this time, there will inevitably be some fluctuations in Bazhou and Pengzhou. This is a normal situation. There is no need to worry too much. The police stations in various places can play a role in stabilizing the place. The governor and the governor Tan need more attention. Stabilize the place. Please ask the two."

Li Rupei said it very simply, without any delay.

Yu Chenghui and Tan Mingxiao immediately made a statement.

Yu Chenghui bowed his head with his fists.

"Don't worry, Li Lang, I and Envoy Tan did their best to ensure the stability of Bazhou and Pengzhou. In fact, after so long, officials at all levels have basically stabilized and have begun to do things seriously. Li Lang is as expected, and I sincerely hope that the Iron Blood Army will return victoriously this time."

Tan Mingxiao also spoke up to ensure stability in Bazhou.

Li Rupei stood up with a smile on his face.

"The Iron Blood Army has been operating in Bazhou and Pengzhou. Although the territory of the event is larger, it is not much different from before. In Guanzhuang Town, the Iron Blood Army was called a bandit. I am afraid that many people now regard the Iron Blood Army as bandits. This time, the time for the Iron Blood Army to make the name clear, it took Liangzhou and controlled Shannan West Road. I believe that everyone's vision will change. After taking Shannan East Road next, the Iron Blood Army will become a famous army in the Tang Dynasty, which makes everyone frightened. I look forward to coming soon."

Gao Chibang, Huang Biao, Song Hu, Zhao Laibao, Qian Shiqu, Xie Yuxin and others stayed in the wing room.

The intense deployment began, and there was basically no discussion. Li Rupei had already considered the deployment of the entire operation. He and Gao Chibang, Huang Biao and others also discussed it privately, and this time it was the specific deployment.

The difference is that during this conquest, Li Rupei personally served as the head coach and Gao Chibang served as the deputy commander. The Iron Blood Army used a rush to march and arrived in Liangzhou within two days and began the attack.

Before the attack began, all the scouts of the Iron Blood Army would enter Liangzhou City. When the attack began, they would cooperate with Liangzhou City in one fell swoop.

Yan Fu and others in Liangzhou had already received orders and made all preparations.

All the Ya army under Lu Yanhong's command were concentrated in Liangzhou City, with only a small amount of troops outside the city. As for the Yawai army and the Waizhen army, there was no need to consider it. Once the Yawai army encountered the fate of being wiped out, the Yawai army and the Waizhen army had no choice but to surrender.

This is a rare situation. Generally speaking, the Ya Army is stationed outside the city. Such a situation is also the suggestion made by Ma Tengyun when he left Liangzhou. Ma Tengyun believes that the candidate for the Shandong West Road has been adjusted and fluctuations may occur. If there is a sudden fluctuation, Lu Yanhong must lead the army to reinforce and help the new Jiedushi Liu Ziheng stabilize the situation. The entire Ya Army is stationed in the city to facilitate dispatch.

Of course, Lu Yanhong followed Ma Tengyun's advice. He had seen the power of Tian Lingzi and Ma Tengyun. In just a few days, Liu Jurong was directly adjusted. Although Liu Jurong had great military achievements and was also a matter of peace in the court, it was still nothing in front of Tian Lingzi and Ma Tengyun. Lu Yanhong was also very happy. Liu Ziheng served as the governor of Shandong East Road and would definitely do his best to wipe out the Iron Blood Army, but the battle may be postponed. After all, Liu Ziheng was just a new arrival and needed a certain amount of time to adapt.

Such a deployment was just in line with Li Rupei's wish. The Iron Blood Army suddenly launched an attack. As long as it controls the city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Liangzhou City, it is equivalent to catching a turtle in a jar. Lu Yanhong and his soldiers under his command have no possibility of escaping. Besides, Lu Yanhong never dreamed that the Iron Blood Army would launch an attack at this time.
