Wang Shike hurried to the north bank of the Ji River, looked at the camp where the fire was soaring into the sky, and cursed.

If I had known to have killed Zhu Xuan, Zhu Qiong would have been fine. These two shameless things actually left quietly late at night. It was obvious that they wanted Qingzhou soldiers to cut off their rear for them and escape first.

Li Siye advised, "Yanei, things have come to this point, and it is useless to sigh. Why do you have to be a part of life and death with Shao thieves? Shao thieves entered Qilu, separated from Wei Bo and Cangjing by a river, these old Hebei sluts

I'm afraid that everyone is panic and everyone is in danger. Li Keyong and Yang Xingmi should have a headache at this time. If you don't curb Shao's thief and let him occupy all of them in Henan, why are you going to fight?"

Wang Shike felt relieved, but he still said: "I lost a lot of troops and horses, and Ping Navy was trapped in Henan."

Pinghai Army is a foreign town army from Dengzhou, with a military capacity of 5,000.

At present, there are only 5,000 troops on the north bank of the Ji River, plus the same number of Tutuan Township men and women. The townsmen were able to cross the river because they had sent people to build a floating bridge and sent them to the north of the Ji River and the Yellow River.

South.

"Yanei, just go back and rebuild. There are countless people in the town who want to join the army. I will recruit a group of people and give them equipment and armor, and practice them." Li Siye said indifferently: "Ziqing is not short of craftsmen, iron smelting,

There is no shortage of good horses. Even if it is not enough for a while, just go to the Bohai Pavilion in Qingzhou to buy it."

The Bohai Pavilion was established in Qingzhou City during the reign of Daizong. It was regarded as a foreign-related institution of the Tang Dynasty, specializing in trade with the Bohai Kingdom.

The Bohai Kingdom called itself the "Haidong Prosperous Country". It has a large population and developed commerce. It has frequent maritime trade with Silla, Japan and Tang Dynasty.

What is the most valuable thing about the common people is: Tu in Taibai Mountain, Kunbu in the South China Sea, Fruit in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Fuyu, Pig in the Junjie, Horse in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Stone in the Longzhou

, the iron in the city, the rice in Lucheng, the crucian carp in Meituo Lake, the plum in Wandu, and the pear in Leiyou.

When Li Siye mentioned buying horses, it was naturally a "Rubin horse". Rubin is in the area of ​​Ussurisk, Russia today.

Since the time of Li Zhengji, Ziqing Town has paid great attention to maritime trade with the Bohai Kingdom. In order to develop the horse government, it vigorously purchased Binma, "every year after year."

The full name of the Ziqing Jiedushi is "Ziqing Jiedushi, Pinglu Army Envoy, Shipeng and Bohai envoy, In charge of the internal branch of the territory, and the governor of Qingzhou." In other words, Qi Shuai is actually

Responsible for the diplomatic and trade affairs of the Tang Dynasty against Silla and Bohai. "After Emperor Daizong, the Bohai Pavilion was established in Qingzhou to wait for the Bohai envoys, and his trading ships were also moored."

This trade even lasted until the Five Dynasties.

Because the rise of the Khitan, it swept the northern tribes, and the war in the Central Plains had been long, and the once prosperous Hebei Ma Zheng was also destroyed. Therefore, the Later Tang Dynasty court bought horses through the Qingzhou Pavilion. In May of the second year of Changxing, the Heishui Wuer tribe went to Dengzhou to sell them.

horse."

"Deputy Envoy Li, this...ah!" Wang Shike sighed, stomped his feet, and walked north under the escort of his personal soldiers.

After he left, the three thousand soldiers of Wanqiangdu patrolled along the Ji River and left behind Wanqiangdu came from Laizhou and was also a foreign army.

They looked at the Ping Navy robe who set fire to block the enemy's enemy's robe, and felt sad. What if they were the ones who left behind?

Within the camp, the two armies of Zhongwu retreated in a panic.

Under the fire, camp bars burned from time to time. Tents, forages, and vehicles burned one by one, and then ignited the nearby dead grass and woods, causing a larger fire.

The sealed and Zang killed several officers in succession, then accommodated the troops, ordered them to bypass the fire area and pursue them separately.

The Pinghai Army was defeated everywhere, and there were more Tutuan Township men from Qizhou and Zibo, who were the real poor people, who ate the worst meals and fought the hardest battles, had no military pay, and retreated.

No one cared about it yet.

Zhao Yan personally led three thousand soldiers to chase him all the way to the Jishui shore.

He was warned by King Xia, and he fought hard this time and led the team to fight. Fortunately, the enemy had no fighting spirit, otherwise, he would have been hacked to death with his three-legged cat's martial arts.

"Kill the thief!" Zhao Yan's sword rushed to the floating bridge with one blow.

What comes to us are dense arrows, one after another, endless.

The soldiers of Zhongwu Army were killed and injured, and there were corpses everywhere on the floating bridge, and many people fell into the river, and they disappeared in a while.

Zhao Yan was shot in his helmet, which scared him to find a place to hide from him, which was also funny enough to run around with arrow feathers on his head.

Feng Zangzhi led more than a thousand people to the side of the floating bridge. Seeing that the thieves were setting fire to the bridge, he sighed and led his army to chase eastward.

There were many Qingzhou soldiers stationed there in the past. Now Wang Shike and Zhu Qiong ran away, so they must be in panic and followed them. It would be better to chase them. Even if they could not catch a few people, they should be able to win some money.

.

On February 22, tens of thousands of Japanese troops arrived in Pingyin.

The military envoy Dai Siyuan received the order and immediately pursued the eastward. The bandit camp in Bimashan had been broken, and the Pu soldiers beheaded more than 2,000 levels. The bandits were defeated and went eastward.

"Damn, my military achievements have been picked up by others." Dai Siyuan spat and said, "There were three thousand Qingzhou soldiers guarding Gema Mountain before? The terrain is difficult, can this be broken?"

"There are no more than three thousand, including the Tutuan Township mansions with five or six thousand. Military envoys, chase them! Pu Bing, Xu Bing has been fighting for so long, and it is so ruined. If you pursue them, I am afraid something will happen. Let's quickly respond.

Maybe you can still make a great contribution." Li Renhan said: "Since the Eastern Expedition, the various tribes have performed differently, and the King of Xia sees it, after the war..."

He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was clear. He wanted to keep the number and not be dismissed, so he worked hard.

"Chasing!" Dai Siyuan ordered the pursuit without any nonsense.

The Zhongwu Army was building a floating bridge and crossing the Ji River to pursue the north; Feng Zang personally led 5,000 national protection troops to pursue the east. If there were 10,000 Japanese troops to support them, it would be obvious that this place would be the key direction for the pursuit.

*******

The city gate of Changqing County opened wide, and a large group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate and disappeared on the field.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard more densely than before. The Dingnan Army was urgently mobilized, and the troops were divided into two groups, pursuing the fleeing thieves from all directions, and rushing straight to the bottom of Changqing County.

The governor of Dizhou, Shao Bogang, took his men out of the city, but he was not afraid of being rushed by the cavalry. More than 2,000 people in the front line only persisted for a short time and immediately collapsed on the spot.

Shao Bo had no choice but to take his men back to the city and closed the city gate.

After counting the number of people, the two thousand towns brought from Dizhou were still complete, with 1,600 and 700 people left. Tutuan Township's men suffered heavy losses, and only half of them were left. The entire army was more than 3,000, but the food and grass were

Enough, but trapped in the city, how can you run?

To be honest, he had the chance to leave the troops and run away, but he couldn't bear to do so.

He rode alone and returned to Dizhou. The soldiers' family asked, how to deal with it? When they encountered someone with a bad temper, they could make noises and make trouble, and chopped his head.

Wei Boqiu, the Dingnan Army envoy, also rushed over from Fengqi Post. The six thousand cavalry were divided into two parts, one rested and the other patrolled. If they encountered enemy defeated soldiers, they would immediately pounce on them and wiped them out.

The task that King Xia sent them here was to ambush, but later found it unrealistic, so it became sluggish. Now it seems that it is just a matter of building a system to fight.

"Military envoy, someone from Changqing County has come." The personal soldiers pointed at the front and said.

Wei Boqiu looked at him carefully, but saw several riders "protecting" a young general coming over.

"Xiahou Sheng, a military academy of Dizhou, met the general." The man dismounted and bowed and bowed.

"What are you here? But Shao Bo is going to surrender?" Wei Bo asked.

"No." Xiahou Sheng said: "My governor has a saying that if the general lets us return to Dizhou, he will pay all the money, silk, gold, silver, horses and mules, and food in the city to the general."

Wei Boqiu was stunned and suddenly burst into laughter. The soldiers also laughed.

Xiahou Sheng didn't understand why. In his opinion, if they persisted in Changqing, the Xia army brigade finally came and surrounded them, and everyone would have to share the wealth in the city. But at this time, Dingnan Army could Wouldn't it be beautiful if you just eat it?

This is to judge others by oneself.

Shao Shude advocated orderly robbery, or called "sending donations", but it is strictly prohibited to rob in private and those who violate the orders will be killed. The spoils seized by each division must be uniformly registered and distributed. Perhaps they can be discarded privately. One thing is, but there is absolutely no possibility of too many, and being found out is also a troublesome.

Wei Boqiu dared not accept Xiahou Sheng's proposal.

"General Xiahou, come back and bring a letter to Shao envoy." Wei Boqiu said: "Jun's surname is Shao, and King Xia's surname is Shao. He was originally a family. It would be a good story to surrender to the state."

Xiahou Sheng's face changed.

Of course he knew the importance of Dizhou. Clam insects (the left insects on the right are not shown at the beginning) The salt pond produces hundreds of thousands of hu of salt every year. Like the sea trade, it is an important source of wealth for Ziqing Town in the country. Sea salt Although the output is the most, it is called "smashed salt". If there is a choice, most people still purchase pool salt.

Dizhou originally belonged to Ziqing Town, but its ownership was uncertain for a long time. Because of its good economic conditions and the benefits of Yanchi, Chengde, Ziqing and Cangjing towns were endlessly contested. During the Zhenyuan period, the governor of Dizhou, Zhao Hao, once surrendered to King Wujun of Chengde and Li Na of Ziqing. Later, Dizhou was returned to Wang Wujun, but the clams and insects salt pond was always under Li Na's hands. For this reason, the "Three Ban City" was built next to the salt pond. The city is located in Chengde and Wei Bo , at the junction of the three towns of Zibo and Qing, hence the name.

The dispute over the Clams and Stones Salt Pond reached the court. Dezong issued an edict to mediate. Wang Wujun stopped his troops and returned to Chengde. Li Na demolished the Sanfan City, which shows his interests.

In addition, the location of Dizhou is also very critical. The east is the sea, Dezhou is the west, Cangzhou is the north, and Qi, Zibo and Qing are the south. Especially for Lu Yanwei, the governor of the Yichang Army, Dizhou is the same. It was a sharp knife pressing against his abdomen, which was very uncomfortable.

Wei Boqiu had a strategic overall view. He wanted to help Shao Shude take down Dizhou without bloodshed, so he did not humiliate Xiahousheng, but sent him back and persuade Shao Bo.

Dizhou is on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Ziqing Qi Denglai is on the south bank of the Yellow River. It is not a natural Ziqing state. In fact, Youzhou, Chengde and Cangjing have all led Dizhou. The local military and civilians have no absolute ownership of Qingzhou. feel.
