Chapter 1324 The melon is ripe and the stems fall(1/2)
After Li Chong received the reply, he immediately appointed Jiang Ke, the governor of the left camp of Silver Gun, and was appointed as the vanguard. He led the left camp of Silver Gun, 3,600 soldiers of the left cavalry guard, 2,400 soldiers of the left guard, 2,400 soldiers of the right dragon and tiger guard, totaling nearly 15,000 soldiers of the battle, plus 10,000 soldiers of the Hebei Town, and 5,000 soldiers of Youzhou, as logistics auxiliary soldiers, driving a large cart, set off from Peiping, and heading eastward.
Heading to western Liaoning.
On the seventh day of the fourth month, Xu Meng, the chief of the Zuo Xiaoqi Guard, led more than 2,000 people to the outside of Lingzhi County. The county magistrate Gongsun Fu opened the city gate and welcomed the Liang army into the interior.
"General—" Gongsun Fu bowed.
Xu Meng got off the horse's back, took a look in the bag, and asked, "Do you have any paper or pen?"
Behind him, there were sounds of horse hooves, and the large group of people were still moving forward for a moment.
Gongsun Fu was asked to hate him, but the county magistrate was very clever and immediately asked someone to take paper and pen and bring a few cases.
Xu Meng knelt directly on the ground and asked, "Where are you from?"
"The ancestors are from Xiangping, and the Cao Wei sects are scattered all over Beiping, western Liaoning, Yan and others-"
"Enough!" Xu Meng picked up his pen and wrote the words in a moment.
Gongsun Fu took it and saw it read: "I have received the Qian Talisman to conquer all nations, and the greed is far away, and the movement is clear. I recently heard that the magistrate of the Liaoxi County, Zhixian County, and Gongsun Fu, a native of Xiangping, Liaodong, knew the timely affairs, and returned to the city to be sincere, deeply understood the principles of obedience and rebellion, and demonstrated the loyalty and confusion. I praised his sincerity and integrity and specially agreed to what I asked.
Now, Gongsun Fu, the original position of the rescuing Gongsun Fu, was still in charge of the county magistrate, and was responsible for the county affairs and comforting the common people. He should diligently practice his duties, supervise the farming and sericulture, clean up the traitors and investigate, and pay equal taxes, so as not to lose peace in the country. If the people can be safe and the officials are afraid of their laws, I will not be stingy in rewards; if they are lazy and misleading, they will also be clear about the punishment of the rules.
The county was informed that the envoys were informed.”
"Take it and post it in a conspicuous place." Xu Meng said, "Official seal, someone will give you the robe later."
After saying that, seeing that his war horse was about to rest, he got up and rode away.
On the post road outside the county town, smoke and dust are everywhere, and the flags and armor are dazzling.
Cars and teams passing by in awe,
From time to time, knights rode their horses by, shouting: "A 500,000 army conquered Liao, and returned to justice. They remained in their original position and fought against each other, without leaving any grass—"
Ling Zhi County watched quietly.
The officials in the frontier are not scared. You don’t know how to say that the army in the fifty directions is really believed, but the Liang army is far larger than the Yan (King) Kingdom. As for the combat effectiveness, as far as the soldiers in front of you are concerned, they are powerful and cannot be resisted by ordinary tribal soldiers or tribes.
With so many troops pressing over, as long as they don’t make any mistakes and have a high chance of winning, it seems that there is no problem for them to surrender.
"Go back." Gongsun Fu waved his robe and shouted: "Press the emperor's decree of Daliang and ask someone to preach. If there is any abnormal movement in the county, suppress it and do not hesitate. Send people to the village to collect food and grass and serve livestock. If the king's army needs it, send it to the army."
"What if the king doesn't want it?" someone asked stupidly.
Gongsun Fu was too lazy to say more to him, and said, "If you don't want to give me, you will say that the king's army will arrive soon, and the whole clan will die without a son."
It was very clear that it doesn’t matter whether the king’s army would ask Zhixian to provide food and grass. I will collect it first. If you don’t hand it over, I will use the name of the King’s army in Daliang to threaten him. Now there are passing soldiers everywhere, so I don’t believe it and don’t worry. As for the food and grass, how to deal with livestock in the future, I will discuss it again.
High!
The strong never complain about the environment, and I can get money even when the army is in a dilemma.
And within Yangle County, a fierce battle just broke out.
Song Huang, the guardian of Liaoxi, who was established by Murong, led his men to rush to the prefect's palace. The mansion's king Sun Xing had already received the news and organized a group of family soldiers to fight with Song Huang's troops.
Both sides fought from the street to the prefect's mansion, and for a moment, the houses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.
The people of the Hu Han in Yangle were panicked and rushed out.
It was evening when the golden crow was hanging west, and the people were in panic, just as the end of the world was coming.
No one gathered them, no one commanded them, no one distributed equipment to them, everything was in chaos, the highest military leader in western Liaoning rebelled and even played a ball.
After nightfall, the news spread to the farther countryside.
After hearing this, some tribal leaders took their tribes to evacuate overnight and fled north into the mountains; some tribal leaders did not happen and were only on guard; some tribal leaders sent people everywhere to find out where the Liang soldiers were, and were preparing to raise the flag to return to the right.
Of course, there were some people who fled east to Linyu City. Some of the Duan Xianbei people belonging to the Murong family were placed here, and they were herded and farmed. After the Yan State officials fled in, they were directly taken to the head, thinking that they were military achievements. The remaining people were shocked and did not care about rest and rushed eastward into the wilderness overnight. The Duan Xianbei sent cavalry to capture them, and returned with more than ten people.
On the eighth night of the lunar month, Xu Meng led hundreds of cavalry to the outside of Yangle City. When Sun Xing led his remaining troops to escape, he shot him under a chaotic arrow.
Sun Xing fell off his horse and vomited blood.
Xu Meng was going to continue to go east, but when he heard the name of this person, he was a little angry. He turned around and held the dying Sun Xing with his feet, and said angrily: "You are a native of the country, how can you follow the hu?"
Sun Xing laughed twice, looked at the cold waning moon in the night sky, and said, "Jin Ji is in chaos, Hebei is uneasy. I flee to Pingzhou, and Murong Duke treats him with courtesy. This kind of kindness is very deep, and I can only repay him with death."
"Stupid!" Xu Meng sneered and said, "Now a million troops conquer Liao, how can Xiao Murong fight against each other? I want to see what your family will end up?"
After saying that, leave directly and continue heading east.
Sun Xing lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the sky, and soon died of anger. After a while, several soldiers came over and chopped off their heads, and even fought for the fight.
The movement of soldiers outside Yangle City was not stopped all night. When dawn, when more people arrived, all those who were willing or unwilling to accept their gratitude were honest. They really couldn't resist such a large army.
The people who fled from Linyu City arrived in Linyu Mountain around April 11. On the way, they encountered tribes grazing nearby. Both sides did not dare to stay. They packed up their tents and utensils, and drove cattle and sheep to hide in the inland hinterland.
Several counties and 300 miles of land in Liaoxi County were lost to the hands of Liang within a few days.
*******
When Li Chong received the news, he had almost no strangeness.
His Beiping camp currently has prefecture soldiers and the imperial guards' elite soldiers of about 70,000 combat soldiers. In order to serve these 70,000 combat soldiers, there are almost half of the auxiliary soldiers of the same number as him, composed of Hebei Zhenshang, Youzhou Zahu, and the heroic tribe.
These more than 100,000 people, claiming to be 500,000, have no problem at all.
The journey of western Liaoning was ripe and was settled in an instant. The next step was to consider whether to send a side army out from now on.
While thinking about this question, he also turned his attention to the north.
In the Yanshan Mountain Road, Daliang auxiliary soldiers and civilians are transferring supplies to fill temporary warehouse cities.
The roads are also under rough construction, and it can even be said to be repaired while transporting, and do your best to ensure that there is no shortage of food and grass on the front line.
On April 12, King Shao Yu of Yan had already stationed near Pinggang's ancient city with about 10,000 troops, and urged auxiliary soldiers and Wuhuan herders to rammed earth to build a city, and cut down trees to build a warehouse.
On the 13th, the first batch of 6,000 hu of chestnut wheat arrived in Pinggang's ancient city, which shows a lot of things. "What are Yuwen waiting for? It's mid-April and you won't send troops." Shao Yu sat cross-legged on the grass, looking at the child standing in front of him.
The child was only five or six years old. He was holding a Hu cake that was bigger than his face in his hand, and took a bite from time to time, then his eyes were exposed from behind the Hu cake, and he secretly looked at Shao Yu.
Shao Yu was playful, stretched out his hand to pinch the child's chubby little face, and smiled and said, "I know how to eat."
The child ran away in a clever way.
This man's name is Siluteng, who was mainly supported by his father Siluohou's old subordinates, and then surrendered to Daliang in his name.
The little child didn't know what was happening, and had already made the first contribution to the battle of Liao, and even the emperor knew his name.
Hou Mo Chensan seemed to know this group of Wuhuan people. After negotiations, he came back and reported: "Your Highness, you can go east to Bailang Mountain through this. There is Fancheng in Shandong. It seems that there was a war in the late Han Dynasty, and the Wuhuan people were defeated miserably."
"I have time to recognize words," said Shao Yu: "My father was ignorant of many generals around him, and they all learned slowly. There is no need to know more, it is enough to recognize hundreds of words, at most a thousand words."
Hou Mo Chensan was extremely shocked: "You actually have to know a thousand words? It's harder than killing a thousand people."
Pei Man laughed at the side, and only this person could say such bastards.
Shao Yu explained to Hou Mo Chensan: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wei Wu led his army to attack. Yu Fancheng defeated the Wuhuan coalition forces, and then killed the Dudun and captured Liucheng. You tell me, who are there in Liucheng now?"
"I asked people from the well-known Zhuhun clan to find out. Murong was appointed as the Dongyi School Captain, and led more than 5,000 infantry and cavalry to defend this city. There are still Chengzhou, Jiyang, Yingqiu and other counties in Liucheng County, and each has its own commanders."
"Where are these five thousand soldiers?" Shao Yu asked.
People who fight old wars will not think that they are Xianbei people when they see Murong Xianbei soldiers, but in fact they may still be Han people.
The Wuhuan people, the Huns, the Goguryeo and even the Yuwen shepherd who surrendered to them must be asked clearly and judged the combat power, just like the forced submission of the Siluo tribe, the historical books may not necessarily write in detail. It is very likely that he only wrote about the "Xianbei" he encountered and defeated him. In fact, the one who fought with him was the Wuhuan soldiers under the Murong Xianbei tent.
"Most of them were Hebei rich soldiers placed in Liucheng by Murong. The cavalry may be Xianbei, but at most more than a thousand." Hou Mo Chensan said: "Chengzhou, Jiyang and Yingqiu are all Qiao County, and they make a living by farming."
"What do you think you should fight?" Shao Yu asked.
"Your Highness, we have tens of thousands of people, brave and good at fighting, just rush over directly," said Hou Mo Chensan.
"I haven't waited to call for military orders yet." Shao Yu stood up anxiously and said, "Go to Hua!"
"The last one will be here." He heard from Hua Yuanyuan and replied loudly.
Shao Yu waved at him, and Wen blinked.
Go to Hua and trot over.
Shao Yu leaned into his ear and whispered, "You can choose a thousand elite cavalrymen, eat some food and water, have a good rest, and follow me east to reconnaissance after night."
"Your Highness, you one by one." Zhihua wanted to say that he had an old problem again, but he didn't dare.
The prestige of King Yan has been rising a lot recently, and he doesn't dare to make a fuss about his advice, so he can only remind him tactfully: "Your Highness, General Tuoba seems to have received an order to look at you."
Shao Yu turned his head and looked at Tuoba Sigong who was leaning against the haystack and closed his eyes and pretending to sleep. He smiled and said, "It's okay, there are a thousand more elite soldiers."
Silent to Hua.
"Okay, it's just a reconnaissance." Shao Yu hit Hua's chest and said, "I will no longer fight myself, how about it?
I am still afraid that I can’t run away with ten horses? What do you think? Can’t you protect me?"
When he heard this, he said angrily: "Why did Your Highness say this? Even if you are crushed to pieces, you must protect Your Highness completely."
"What are you going to pieces? Don't talk nonsense." Shao Yu smiled and said, "Go and prepare."
"Affect the order." Zhihua had no choice but to take the order and left.
Shao Yu stood in the field with his waist on his back and found that Siluteng appeared not far away with Hu Bing again.
