2. Accountability of the Xiangyang Army
Three days later, Gao Yue rushed to the camp of Dong Jin, the governor of Shandong Dongdao, without stopping.
This time, Dong Jin led an army of 20,000 from Nanyang to join the expedition and war against Huaixi. In the Battle of Xiaoqihe, he retreated first and fled, losing his troops and generals. Then he did not even dare to defend Ruzhou because three thousand Huaixi soldiers captured Xiangcheng, and were just opposite him. Dong Jin was so scared that he retreated directly to Luyang Pass and prepared to return to our town at any time.
If Ruzhou is not guarded, the imperial capital Luoyang will be in danger.
In Luyang Pass, in Dong Jin's camp, Gao Yue led dozens of accompanying military officers and soldiers in the Three Yamen, and walked in proudly.
The Jiedushi Dong Jin was guilty and hurriedly retreated to the side, while the other generals from the East Shandong Road all stood up and bowed. After the bowing, they all bowed their heads, and there was no such thing as the domineering spirit of the past.
Gao Yue stood in the center, and immediately turned cold, pressed the tip of the whip on the opposite desk, and asked in a low and clear voice: "Who escaped first in the Battle of Xiaoqi River?"
Dong Jin was so scared that he was no longer looking.
The generals looked at the nose, the nose, the mouth, the feet, and the feet were standing on the ground without making any sound. They were all like mud-tied puppets.
"Since no one is willing to take responsibility, then I'll ask the military supervisor." After saying that, Gao Yue pointed directly at Xue Shangyan, the military supervisor from the east road of Shandong.
Xue Shangyan was stunned by the question, and then he could only explain with a smile that the Xuanwu army on another wing had retreated privately, which led to Cai Kou's attack on Dazhi.
"I didn't ask about Xuanwu's army, Xuanwu's army would go to find Xuanwu's army for their crimes. Now I'm asking about the team in Shandong East Road, what's going on." Gao Yue's tone was very cold.
Xue Shangyan grinned and scratched his head.
"As a military supervisor, his duty is to monitor punishment and reward and report violations, but now he is like asking Yu Blind, then he will kill Xue Shangyan!" Gao Yue asked, and then the Li Xian and Li Jun beside him immediately drew their swords.
Xue Shangyan has always been a powerful eunuch in the palace. Now he is in charge of the Xiangyang army, the subordinates, and the generals, and have cursed him. Now he is scolded by Gao Yue and is even beheaded on the spot. He is so scared that he lost his might and shouted, "God of Ji is forgiven, it is the first to escape from the ten generals Yang Shangqing and the drum and horn general Fang Ningzhi!"
Suddenly, the tent strife was in an uproar. Yang Shangqing and Fang Ningzhi immediately knelt down, hugged Xue Shangyan's thigh, and called for relief.
"Kill Yang Shangqing and set it down." Gao Yue had no room for maneuver.
"Not guilt." The two men shouted and defended continuously.
"The two armies confront each other, escape in private, shake the morale of the army, destroy the soldiers, and say they are innocent?"
"The defeat of Xiaoqihe is our sin. Whose sin was lost to Chang'an and spread to Fengtian?"
"My son, I don't know how to die!" Gao Yue was furious, and soon the two generals were pushed out in front of everyone, and their bloody heads were offered.
The generals of Shandong East Road were all reluctant to do so, and they lost their energy and excitement.
"Who is the last one left in the Battle of Xiaoqihe?" Gao Yue asked immediately.
Now Xue Shangyan did not do anything extra and said simply: "The doctor of the procuratorate and the marching of Sima Yu Di has made a special contribution."
At this time, Yu Di turned away and saluted Gao Yue.
"Is it because of the former Chang'an Order Yu Yunyuan?" Gao Yue asked.
At this time, Yu Di said yes.
Yu Di, the seventh-generation grandson of Yu Jin, the Grand Tutor of Northern Zhou Dynasty, started his family with his family and is now a Sima official in the Dongjin shogunate.
In the previous Battle of Xiaoqihe, he was the only one who led hundreds of soldiers, who remained unrest in a state of defeat and slowly protected Dong Jin to retreat safely.
Gao Yue then said to Dong Jin: "Shannan East Road, Guan Xiang, Deng, Tang, Sui, Ying, Fu, Jun, Fang Bazhou. Dong Xianggong was not familiar with military affairs, but also surrounded the Caikou in Huaixi. The war situation was urgent. It would be better to separate Tang, Deng, and Sui three states, and Yu Yunyuan was the governor of Deng Sui, and was in charge of most of the troops; Dong Xianggong was then the governor of Shandong East Road, and paid taxes to the five states of Xiang, Ying, Fu, Jun, Fang, and Sui, and Sui, and Sui, and jointly attacked Huaixi."
Dong Jin dared not refute any of this.
The former Minister of the Secretariat, who was the role of becoming the eight prefectures on the east side of Shannan, was like a surging official in front of Gao Yue.
Later, the entire army and horses of the East Shandong Road in Shandong were indeed as Gao Yue promised in advance, but returned directly from Luyang Pass to the town. Dong Jin and Yu Di also "divided the towns" - soon, the emperor of the Daming Palace recognized Gao Yue's arrangement in the form of a formal edict. 20,000 troops and horses of the East Shandong Road in Shandong were divided into 15,000, and stationed in Deng, Tang, and followed the three states. Dong Jin then only cared for the people's livelihood affairs of the other five states and was responsible for supplying food, grass, money and silk to Yu Di in the amount.
Immediately, the Tang Dynasty's official troops divided their own areas of defense, while Gao Yue personally took charge of Yangdi and issued a "Watching and Mutual Aid Order", requiring that any army be attacked and other troops would rescue.
The brave generals of Huaixi, Wu Shaoyang, Dong Chongzhi, Zhang Jiayu and Xue Yi did make a big attack, attacking Changshe City, which was stationed by Zhongwu Army. Qu Huan fought to the death and defeated Huaixi's offensive many times.
When Yan Zichu learned that Changshe City was in crisis, he hurriedly sent 700 cavalrymen to help.
Liu Chang on the western front led three thousand Shenwei troops, including five hundred cavalry and three hundred Shenlei guns. Unexpectedly, he attacked Xiangcheng directly, captured the Huaixi general Liang Jun, beheaded more than 300 of them, and then siege Xiangcheng in large numbers.
When Dong Chongzhi, who was attacking Changshe, heard the news, hurriedly led more than a thousand of the most elite mule troops and rescued Xiangcheng.
Liu Chang asked 300 musketeers to ambush the dry embankment in the northeast of Xiangcheng. When Dong Chongzhi's mule army was out of date, they fired fiercely. Dong Chongzhi's uncle, the mule army, and Dong Xianchang, was killed in the battle with the horses. The mule soldiers in Huaixi were shot to death and fled. Liu Chang sent another 500 cavalry to pursue more than 30 miles and killed more than 200 Cai Kou. For a moment, he was shocked. Wu Shaoyang was inexplicably shocked and hurriedly gave up his attack on Changshe, burned the camp that stretched for more than ten miles, and fled to Yancheng.
Yu Di also seized the opportunity and led 5,000 elite troops out of Tangzhou and attacked Wenchengzha in Huaixi.
Suddenly, Huaixi's advantage was completely destroyed, and Wu Shaocheng was very passive and sent an envoy to Yangdi to beg Gao Yue for mercy.
At this moment, Yang Yuanqing had already surrendered to Gao Yue's account and cried and persuaded Gao Yue not to forgive Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang.
So Gao Yue expelled the envoys of Huaixi, refused to accept the conditions of submission from the Wu brothers, and supplied the front-line troops to urge them to train soldiers and prepare to counterattack Yancheng.
"If Yancheng is lost, the entrance to Caizhou will be opened!" Wu Shaocheng also went crazy, like a red-eyed gambler, starting to concentrate all the elites in Yancheng, and want to resist stubbornly.
"Let the commander send a letter to the Xuanwu army Li Wanrong, and instructed him to ignite 10,000 elite troops within five days, and rush to the Weishi to accept the dispatch of our own road." Gao Yue was not in a hurry to attack Huaixi, but wanted to take advantage of Liu Chang's victory in Xiangcheng to defeat the relentless Bian Song.
When the secret letter arrived at the military city of Bianzhou, Li Wanrong came to the Military Supervision Academy again. He beat his chest and stamped his feet at Ju Wenzhen, and cried and cursed Huaixi with his heart. He had long suspected that they were the murderers of Zhao Zhonglang and admitted to Ju Wenzhen that Wu Shaocheng had sent secret envoys to instigate him before, but he was extremely loyal.
Soon, several beheaded Huaixi envoys were sent to Ju Wenzhen.
