Chapter Thirty: Cui Jikang, Master of Micromanipulation

Li Keyong's army finally marched eastward.

At first, Hao Zhenwei was afraid of fraud, so he sent Tian Xing, the envoy of You Yi, to go out with the cavalry for reconnaissance. It was snowing heavily, and the soldiers were complaining. As a last resort, Hao Zhenwei allocated some property from the treasury to reward them, and then the cavalry was dispatched.

Search and advance in the direction in which the rebels left.

Later, he sent a team of people out of the city to check inside the military camp. He saw that the rebels were walking in a hurry. The camp was full of broken ordnance, scattered flags, and arrows densely planted on the ground. They didn't even have corpses.

There was no time to put away the coffin, but the snow was so frozen that it was impossible to tell the difference between friend and foe.

The Tiande Army also sent people to the south to contact Lan and Shi Erzhou, trying to open up connections with them. After all, Jaluping is an isolated city, and supplies have to be transported from the south. Contact them early and feel at ease early.

Due to the natural limitations of supervising and protecting the army, Shao Shude has not had the opportunity to leave the city in the past few days. He only took the time to visit Sun Ba's camp. After meeting, both of them were very emotional and lamented that Li Renjun's luck was too bad. Li Renjun was very unlucky.

Ke Yong clearly has no intention of attacking Zhelu Army City.

, but still ruthlessly pulled out this nail, what can you do? They, the foreign generals, are also dissatisfied with Hao Zhenwei's methods. The Xicheng soldiers, Fengzhou soldiers, and Zhongcheng soldiers are no longer human in the eyes of the Beicheng generals.

What? Sacrifice at will is simply chilling!

On December 13, the weather still did not improve. The cavalry that had been dispatched in large numbers were withdrawn. Only sporadic scouts and messengers were still wandering outside. Such a cold winter month is really not suitable for human activities. I don’t know that Datong

How come the army can carry it so well? It’s still there

Fighting to the death outside, are the Hu people from the five tribes in the north naturally not afraid of the cold? According to the latest news, the Datong Army has turned to the east, and with the cover of the snow and wind, they attacked Furong City in a surprise attack. The defender Su Hongzhen

He was chased and killed by the rebels for ten miles, only to escape with his own life.

I have to say that this guy is really a waste. When he was an envoy to the Zhelu army, he lost his army and the city. When he returned, he should have been beheaded. Fortunately, there was someone to help him, so he took the newly recruited Qian in Taiyuan Prefecture.

Sergeant Yu came west, entered Furong City, and served as the city envoy. Furong City originally had 2,000 solid troops, plus the 1,000 new soldiers brought by Su Hongzhen. If we defend well, we may not be defeated.

But it happened that Su Hongzhen was defeated. He had no idea about the movements of the rebels. He didn't even know that they secretly moved eastward and occupied the empty building guarding the gate. Later, he was even climbed up by someone taking advantage of the wind and snow.

At the top of the city, the gate of Furong City was opened, resulting in a disastrous defeat. Such neglect of duty made it difficult to survive this time.

The Datong Army captured Loufangguan and Furong City, and then became connected with Ningwu County and Shuozhou City. There was no need to worry about their retreat. Now they could advance, attack, retreat or defend, and the situation was greatly improved. The Daibei Expedition Camp heard the news

He was so frightened that he had no choice but to send troops to rescue him.

Reinforcement was received. Both Jingle County and Loufan Jianmu City were important areas, and there was no room for loss, so Li Jun, the military governor of the Zhaoyi Army, was sent out with five thousand troops from the Taoist army to go out to Qianzhu Valley for rescue. Cui Jikang supervised tens of thousands of elite troops from Hedong to follow behind.

, as a backup.

The battlefield went round and round, and now it seems to have moved to the east. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the Tiande Army. But don't worry, Cui Jikang is not blind, and he is not that forgetful. He has sent people to the Zhelu Army and Kelan Army to order them to

They all marched out together to attack the Datong rebels, and they must be eliminated in the high mountains of Hedong.

Shao Shude heard the above news from the supervisor. Now he has Qiu Weidao's trust. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant. After the war, the possibility of building the West City of Tiande Army is getting lower and lower. Qiu Weidao now encounters major events.

, they would call him and Song Le over to discuss together. As for old Yuancong people like Guan Kairun, they would basically only come to them when they have personal matters. It cannot be said that they do not trust them, but at least they are not as good as Shao Shude.

This time Cui Jikang asked the Tiande Army and Kelan Army to send troops, but Qiu Weidao was not willing to do so. He was indeed loyal to the court, and he was not used to the selfish nature of the warriors, but in the final analysis, people

It is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages

As a living creature, he is not loyal enough to risk his own life. Yes, in his opinion, the Tiande Army and the Kelan Army combined have more than 10,000 people, and they brave the wind and snow to send troops and cross the mountains, which is extremely risky.

The entire army might be wiped out.

But maybe our Qiu Supervisor Army doesn’t have to worry too much, because just this morning, all the Tiande Army units started making a fuss when they heard that the whole army was going to be dispatched. Including the Ya Army battalions from Beicheng, some people were making noises and causing trouble, and they were asking for winter clothes.

After a while, he wanted to reward him, which made it a mess and made it impossible to communicate.

On the way back from Hao Zhenwei, Qiu Weidao encountered noisy soldiers. Although nothing had happened yet, signs of chaos had appeared, which made Qiu very panicked. As soon as he returned to the Military Supervisory Academy, he found Shao Shude and ordered

The gates of the courtyard were sealed, and all soldiers were fully armed and guarded to the death.

There are about 200 people in the guard army, and they are a little restless due to the influence of the outside atmosphere. However, Shao Shude's work these days is not in vain. The soldiers' ideological dynamics are well grasped, and they are pretty good. At least they are better than others.

I ate a few more times, the supervisor of the Military Academy

Ordinary food was okay, and they were suppressed after a little scolding. Afterwards, the five regiments of the Guards were neatly dressed, and hundreds of people from the front and rear teams, the most powerful, gathered in the barracks on both sides of the Military Supervisory Courtyard, and the remaining three

The troops defended everywhere and guarded the small military prison courtyard tightly.

The army at the end of the Tang Dynasty was like this. Rewards were the biggest driving force for soldiers. In many poor vassal towns, military pay was roughly equivalent to rewards. The more rewards, the more military pay you would have this year. In such a cold climate, it was still possible to

It was absolutely impossible for them to go out and attack others without a reward. The problem was that Hao Zhenwei, the leader, had no money to reward him. This was the main reason for the commotion in the whole army after the order to camp was issued.

I'm afraid this matter won't be solved in a short time!

"Your Majesty, since the capital has sent people to ask for rewards from Jinyang, the important matter should be fine. In this windy and snowy weather, winter clothes are not enough, so it is normal for the soldiers to complain. Marshal Cui has led troops from Hedong and Zhaoyi towns to rush there

Jingle, as long as we don't fight, Li Keyong won't be able to make any big waves." Looking at the frowning Qiu Weidao, Shao Shude didn't know what to say.

In fact, he also has some opinions on Cui Jikang's long-distance remote control command. As a commander-in-chief, your job is to make strategic arrangements, assign tasks to the generals in certain directions, and then let them perform on their own. This

It's not modern. There are radio stations that can be used at any time.

Orders were updated from time to time, and only human messengers could be sent to deliver the news. Not only was it inefficient, but there was also the risk of leaking secrets. The deployment before Daibei's march was the policy set by the imperial court. Marshal Cao only made slight adjustments after he took office. It is said that the strategy was

There's no problem, as long as you fight well, how can you lose?

Marshal Cao is a military man, and he is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the 780,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Daibeixing Camp. The advantages are that there are more soldiers, sufficient food, and the actual combat effectiveness of each unit is good. After all, the standing armies of each vassal town are indistinguishable. The disadvantages are also

It is obvious that the internal components are complicated, there are too many nonsense things, the tens of thousands of guest troops have no strong desire to fight, they are suspected of skipping jobs to cope with the errands, and they are prone to making troubles.

Robbery. After careful analysis, Marshal Cao made a strategy of harassing and containing Xin from the east and west, guarding the two states tightly, and bringing his own reliable elite troops - not too many, 10,000 or 20,000 people are enough - to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

, there is no problem in the general direction. If the battle of Honggu had not been defeated by an ambush, with so many soldiers and horses, slowly advancing, the pressure would have crushed Li Guochang and his son to death.

Cui Jikang is a scholar. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand military affairs. He can just follow Xiao Gui and Cao. Youzhou Town has been urged repeatedly by the court to send out another army to attack Yuzhou. The three Shatuo tribes are now also intimidated.

He decided to draw a clear line with the Li family and recruit soldiers from the Shatuo tribe to assist the court in annihilating the Li family and his son.

Although the five tribes on the border are nominally surrendered to the imperial court, they are far away from the emperor and are not very obedient. But it doesn't matter, the imperial envoys have also been working hard, planning to give them some titles and reward them with some wealth. If they can't keep it all, they can persuade them

When they send troops, Li and his son will be surrounded from all sides. What will happen if they don't die?

In fact, the strong intrusion of the Tiande Army and the interception of the Caocheng River road have greatly reduced the activity space of the Li family and his son, which is of great significance to the Daibei Expedition Camp. Even now, Li Ke has taken the risk of surprise troops and occupied Furong City.

As long as we guard Jingle County and oversee Mucheng in Loufan,

Gujiaocheng, Qianzhu Valley, and Yangqu County are all on the same line. Why did Li Keyong hit Jinyang? Can he be lucky once, twice, or five or six times in a row? In these few days, can he be lucky?

There are several points, but there is only one way, which is not easy to fight, and it is impossible to bypass any of them.

Now that Cui Jikang has made such micro maneuvers, if the Tiande Army and Kelan Army abandon the fortified city and start moving, there is a possibility of being annihilated by the enemy in the field. Fortunately, the military atmosphere in this era is not good. You need rewards for setting off, rewards for marching, and rewards for fighting.

Rewarding money, always rebelling and asking for reward,

In the twelfth month of winter, Hao Zhenwei really didn't dare to force the sergeants to march long distances. He just didn't know how the Kelan army in the south was doing, but it was probably about the same. Jia Jingsi was in a worse situation than Hao Zhenwei, and he couldn't lead his troops out of the city.

Unless Lanzhou helps distribute rewards.

Therefore, these two orders are actually useless paper. Hao Zhenwei understands it, Jia Jingsi understands it, but Cui Jikang does not understand it, but I believe he will understand it soon.

"The soldiers are indeed tired after fighting continuously. The heavy snow outside seems to have no end, the roads are blocked, and the food and wages are cut off, which is understandable. Alas, this envoy is worried about state affairs. Guochang and his son,

When will rebelliousness and arrogance be put down?" After hearing Shao Shude's lenient explanation, Qiu Weidao followed suit.

Shi Shi said. But he also glanced at the warrior standing in front of him. The people under Hao Zhenwei can cause trouble and demand rewards. Will Shao follow suit in the future and experience something like this? Well, Guan Kairun is himself.

The old man brought from Chang'an knows the situation well. It would be good to summon him in two days and talk to him.

"You don't have anything to do here. Let's go down and organize the military affairs. Remember, the soldiers must be restrained." Qiu Weidao waved his hand and motioned for Shao Shude to retreat.
