12. Gao Yue Ya Army arrives

The pests that avoided the sound of Yu's flutes, as well as the mountain sheds and thieves raised in Huaixi.

The official army had thousands of ships, carried 20,000 troops, and countless supplies and equipment. It was unobstructed. It passed Qikou, Xunyang, Pengze, then Qiupu, Wuhu, Caishi, and then Jiangning Jinling (Wuh, Jiangning was a second-tier city in the Tang Dynasty, and was under the jurisdiction of Runzhou in administrative terms. Runzhou is now Zhenjiang, which is naturally located in Jingkou), and finally arrived at Jingkou.

At the entrance of Jingkou, it was raining heavily. I heard that Gao Yue's Yajun came all the way from the Han River in Xiangyang. Han Hui, the governor of Zhenhai Army, personally stood on the beacon tower at the foot of the mountain to deliver the Yajun and supplies that were on the ashore. As long as the inspection was completed, he would send the Yajun across the river to Yangzi Town opposite, where Gao Yue was waiting.

In the rain, the drum sounds were faint. The crossbowmen, gunmen and fang soldiers of Zhenhai Army were all staying under the houses and corridors of the Junzhen Town to hide from the rain, while looking at the martial arts ritual ground in the center in surprise.

Han Hui, who was at the beacon on the mountain, was shocked by his high eyes:

The generals and soldiers of the Baoda Army and the Fengyi Army were still left to shelter from the rain. The Dingwu Army, the Yining Army, had a total of 8,000 infantry, more than 3,000 cavalry, and two thousand artillery soldiers, a total of 14,000 soldiers. They all went ashore and lined up along the martial arts field, the loss field, the river bank and the mountain foot roads. After receiving the order for delivery, they quickly landed on the shore without delay. According to the rules of the brigade, they listed the team clearly and clearly in just one hour.

The rain became heavier. The autumn rain in Xuanrun Jiangnan was flying in a slight sense of coldness. The soldiers of Yu Dingwu and Yining army splashed light dust and mist under the shoes of the soldiers of Yu Dingwu and Yining, but they were still motionless.

The battalion generals finished counting one by one, handed over the corps and soldiers to the office of the sect and soldiers, and then handed over to the office of the commander general Cai Fengyuan of the battle.

Then Cai Fengyuan handed him over to Han Hui.

"I heard for a long time that Gao Ji Gong governed his army very strictly. I saw him today. He is worthy of being a powerful soldier that destroyed Xifan." Han Hui sighed.

At the same time, Aunt Yu, who was standing under the shed at the bow of the boat, could not help but nod when she remembered Ming Huaiyi's words before, "It seems that this Qiangzi of Dangxiang is not entirely a boastful."

When Gao Yue's tooth army arrived in Yangzhou City, the entire Jianghuai army caused a sensation.

Most people believe that Gao Yue will immediately use this tooth army as the core, and then recruit powerful soldiers from the seven prefectures in Huainan to launch a full-scale attack on Huainian.

At the same time, on the battlefield in the northwestern Huaixi line, the Shenwei army led by Liu Chang and Zhang Wanfu was particularly active. They made consecutive attacks in the direction of Ruzhou, not only protecting the gateway of the Eastern Capital, but also recovering Wuyang, Xiangcheng and other cities. Then, the Xuanwu army led by Liu Chang, Qu Huan, Yan Zichu, and Liu Yihuai who came to support him. After obtaining the smooth transportation of the canal, the Jianghuai tax supplies transported from Runzhou and Yangzhou, they counterattacked the entire line and fought all the way to the underworld of Yan.

Wu Shaoyang and Dong Chongzhi retreated on the whole line, defending Lingyunzha, northeast of Yancheng with 10,000 soldiers, and defending Yancheng with 5,000 soldiers, preparing to consume the power of the official army first and then counterattack at the right time.

On the western front of Huaixi, the Yuda tribe in Tangzhou continued to attack Wenchengzha in Huaixi without slacking off for a moment.

On the southern front, Li Jian, the governor of the Wuchang Army, mobilized troops from the three prefectures of Eyue and Mian, and gathered in Yingcheng, and prepared to attack Anlu.

Now if Gao Yue really moves his army to the important location of Shouzhou, then Wu Shaocheng will be in a dilemma of being attacked from all sides.

In Runan City, Wu Shaocheng was panicked and furious: The court suddenly rushed to Jingmen, Yicheng, and Hanyang merchants completely expelled him from Huaixi forces. For this reason, he lost more than 100,000 yuan in profits at one time. Even the ships that he had worked hard for many years were confiscated. "Huaixi is originally barren, so it is even worse..."

If this continues, the court will suffer a catastrophe just by siege and consume it.

Helpless Wu Shaocheng thought about it and thought about it, but could not think of any good plans. He couldn't help but regret it. Why did he obey Li Yuanping and Yang Yuanqing's bad ideas and sent a mountain panic to assassinate the Secretariat of the Secretariat Zhao Jing, but not only failed to retreat, but also changed to a more difficult Gaoyuejie Town in Huainan, and made himself the target of public criticism. Now Xuanwu, Ziqing, and Wei Bo dare not express his opinion on his own side.

"If I wait for the government troops to join forces, I will be unable to fly even if I have wings!"

Sitting in the house, Wu Shaocheng drank with great sorrow, and unknowingly he became drunk and shook his head and lamented.

At this moment, his slave Xianyu Xiong'er was holding a wine pot and whispered to remind him: "Yang Yuanqing has joined the official army. Why didn't the master simply kill Li Yuanping and instruct him to present his head to the court as the culprit of assassination of Zhao Jing, so that the court can stop the conquest?"

Wu Shaocheng stared at his eyes and scolded Xianyu Xiong'er, "Now that the victory and defeat of the government army and I have not yet decided, we will rashly kill the scheming leader. This will not only cause the morale of the army to be in chaos, but also may not be forgiven by the court. Wouldn't your suggestion make me die faster?"

Xianyu Xiong'er hurriedly slapped herself a few times, knelt in front of Wu Shaocheng, and said that she saw that you were anxious, so she said a few words randomly, hoping that the master would forgive her.

Wu Shaocheng shook his hand impatiently, and then ordered Xiong'er: "Tomorrow you will lift the ban on Li Yuanping and let him come to our military residence to plan the war."

The next day, Li Yuanping, who had regained his personal freedom, had his hair disheveled, his eyes swollen from crying. He came to the military palace and held Wu Shaocheng's knees, "I wish to die to repay the rituals, because King Li Xilie of Chu had a kindness to know that he was grateful to me. Now the tragedy of the King of Chu is in this Runan City. Once the official army is broken, not only will the tragedy and the house will be gone, but the tragedy of the King of Chu will inevitably be destroyed. My Huaining Army will die in our generation!"

Wu Shaocheng was also in great pain, so he asked Li Yuanping what countermeasures he had.

"Although the three prefectures of Shen Guangcai are small, they are still at the moment of fighting to the death. The total population of our town is 400,000, and the soldiers are 40,000, but only 134 are obtained by recruiting outlaws from surrounding prefectures and counties. Now, let Shen Guangcai's households issue one rank, stationed in Wufang to the west, Anlu to the south and Gushi to the east. The soldiers from these four places were all withdrawn back to Runan, plus the four or five thousand elite soldiers under the festival, they will focus on attacking Yancheng on the northern line. As long as we defeat the official army in Yancheng, we will win half of this gambling."

Hearing this crazy plan, Wu Shaocheng stood up, touched his forehead, covered in cold sweat, and said to Li Yuanping: "My Wu family has only been in Caizhou for more than ten years, and there is no great favor to the people of Huaixi. Now, in order to fight against the court, you have reached the point of one household and one soldier, you have reached the point of exhausting the lake and killing chickens to get eggs. Even if you can temporarily defeat the official army on the North Line, what will happen to Huaixi next year? What are the people eating and what are the soldiers eating?"
