Chapter 146 Retreat
Gu Junen followed his father with a look of pride on his face. No wonder he was like this. Since the beginning of the Jiangnan War, Zhenhai Army has won consecutive victories against Dong Chang's army, but in the face of the fierce and war-hardened Huainan Army, in addition to the initial battle of Wuchengzhai, Wei Yue suffered a small blow, Zhenhai Army suffered consecutive defeats, and even Zhejiang's natural barriers were forced to cross by the other side. In the battle of Huangtiandang, Huainan headquarters defeated the Zhenhai Navy, and Suzhou was also under his jurisdiction. Zhenhai
The deputy envoy Cheng Ji was also captured by Yang Xingmi, and the governor of Ningguo Tian Wei even led his troops to the city of Hangzhou. For a time, the Qian Miao Mansion in Hangzhou said that Gu Quanwu was in power and respectful to the traitors, and deliberately did not destroy Dong Chang quickly. He wanted to wait for Qian Miao to be destroyed before surrendering to Yang Xingmi. Many people asked Qian Miao to recall Gu Quanwu to return to the aid, and simply handed Yuezhou to Zhao Yingong, who had recently seized the position of governor of Mingzhou. However, Gu Quanwu was still alive.
In addition, I wrote a letter to Qian Miao, saying that Yuezhou has been a southeastern metropolis since ancient times, with a dangerous terrain and rich scholars. If you want to seize the southeast, you must not leave this place to your subordinates. Zhao Yingong is not my race, his heart must be different, and he has been very popular with his scholars. He has lived in Mingzhou for several generations. If he can get Yuezhou again, I am afraid that we will fight hard for many years and will only make a wedding dress for him. He insisted on conquering Yuezhou and killed Dong Chang before he was willing to retreat. Finally, he captured Yuezhou with Yuanyue.
Yacheng killed all the more than 300 confidants of Dong Chang's family and the lakeside, and then rewarded the soldiers and led their troops to attack Jiaxing from the sea. They broke through the Wei Yue of the Huainan army that was besieged in the city, killed more than 3,000 people, and cut off the Jiangnan canal. The Huainan army, which was scattered and besieged in Hangzhou, was in a dilemma of being attacked by the enemy from both sides. Now, unless the Huainan headquarters crossed the river south again, the overall situation of the Jiangnan battle has been decided, and Gu Quanwu's military achievements have become the best in Zhenhai.
In the Xuanrun Army camp in Fenglin Duo, the generals in the tent were arranged neatly, but there was no murderous aura in the tent that was a hundred battles that had won many battles. Everyone's face was covered with a look of panic about the coming of disaster.
Wang Maozhang sat in the first seat, his black face seemed to be covered with frost. As the Sima of the Runzhou Army, Lu Fang, the generals of Xuanrun and the two states, had already gone to war with An Renyi and Tian Wei. He was already the highest-ranking and lower-ranking person, so he naturally sat in the second seat. He was secretly worried in his heart: After Gu Quanwu destroyed Dong Chang, his supplies, money and food were all his own. With the recruited surrendered troops, his crowd probably was no less than 40,000. So many troops would definitely not be able to go all the way through the sea. The main force must have returned to the Xiaoshu Canal, and the first one was to bear the brunt of himself. But judging from the current appearance, there were few troops, and more importantly, the commander was not there, and there was no place to resist.
When Lu Fang thought of this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable behind his back, as if a thorn was on his back. He had experienced hardships over the past ten years and had some intuition about the things between life and death. He turned around and saw a curtain behind him, and then behind him was behind the tent. Just as he was about to get up to see what happened, he heard Wang Maozhang say, "Now the strong enemy is in front, and the order of my position is my head in the army. You must obey our military order. Violators will be severely punished."
Lu Fang knew it was bad at first hearing. It turned out that since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the separatist rule of the vassal states became increasingly serious. Not to mention that the Jiedushi of each town intercepted rent and taxes and did not obey the imperial court's dispatch, even the soldiers of each state often formed their own unity and became a semi-independent kingdom of each town. As long as the Jiedushi was a little bit indifferent and weak, the rebellious arrogant soldiers and generals below would rise up to rebel and seize power. The previous Huainan Jiedushi Gao Pian was a clear example. He was trustworthy in order to seek immortality.
The demonic Taoist Lu Yongzhi ended up betraying his relatives and could not even save his life. Yang Xingmi naturally had nothing to do with being stupid and weak, but the gang of grass-roots brothers under him were all good at it. It would be fine if he was here at this time, but Wang Maozhang was originally called reinforcements and was actually a military supervisor. He reached his hand into the plate of the Xuanrun two states army to pull it out, and the tent was suddenly in an uproar. The generals below looked at Wang Maozhang with dissatisfaction and were about to start to mess up.
Lu Fang was anxious and was about to stand up to persuade him, but he saw a grim smile on Wang Maozhang's iron pot-like face. He suddenly thought in his heart, how could Wang Maozhang do such a stupid thing for a long time? I am afraid that he deliberately angered the generals, and then the man who took the lead was punished heavily, and suddenly used thunder to suppress the morale of the army and fight against the enemy in the future. I am afraid that the tent would be full of his personal soldiers, so he was waiting to throw a cup as a quotation to deal with some unlucky guy. Thinking of this, Lu Fang
A cold sweat broke out on his back. Sure enough, none of the heroes in the late Tang Dynasty were good to meet. If he had a strange ambition and now jumped out to stir up his colleagues, then Wang Maozhang would not mind cutting off his head to establish his authority. Thinking of this, Lu Fang coughed and shouted: "Silent, how can we make noise during the military discussion? Now that the great enemy is in front of us, we can only survive by fighting to the death. The king's envoy is the most respected rank, and Moye is the two thousand soldiers who are above and below, only the king's envoy is the leader."
Although many of the generals in the tent have older qualifications than Lu Fang, they now have only a thousand people with strength, which is not as good as Lu Fang's hands, not to mention that there are only a single navy army with established systems. In total, there are only three thousand people. Since he expressed his support, no one said anything. After all, everyone is Qiu Ba's, with strong strength and naturally loud voices. I still understand this principle. So the tent gradually calmed down.
Wang Maozhang coughed with satisfaction, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He was a little surprised by Lu Fang's knowledge. Wang Qinian stayed outside the tent with seven or eight personal soldiers wearing armor and blades. Xu Zixi, the mysterious strategist, was also among them, preparing to use a thorn to start a blow to shock the morale of the army. Unexpectedly, Lu Fang took the lead in supporting him. Now even if someone secretly dissatisfied with him, he didn't dare to chew the sound when he saw the huge gap in strength. Although there are fewer troubles now, there are also more hidden dangers.
Once the position of the commander is determined, the following things will be simple. After all, all the people here are old corpses. Now the strong enemy is in front and there are changes in the rear. The first thing to do is to cross the entire army across Zhejiang and retreat back to the west coast. At that time, even if there were enemies in front and behind, at least there was a big river to rely on. After all, the Huainan army spent a lot of effort to fight over, so the Zhenhai Army would not fight so quickly. The trouble is the question of who left first and who cuts the rear. After all, Yuezhou has been taken down by the Zhenhai Army, and the distance is only more than two hundred miles.
It was the enemy's light troops who advanced along the river. In just two days, if the Duanhou Army who was behind was bitten, it would be very likely that the entire army would be wiped out. Therefore, the choice of Duanhou was quite knowledgeable. If it was too weak and was about to collapse at a touch, it might implicate the entire army. But if it was elite, it would be the general's heart in this troubled times. Whoever was willing to throw it into this Duanhou Army that was almost dead. So no one would speak up, so he would become a rafter to get out and be captured by Wang Maozhang to do a hard work. The buzzing military tent calmed down for a while.
Outside the tent, Wang Qinian was wearing armor, holding his breath, listening to the movements in the tent, and made an agreement in advance that as long as his father threw a cup in the tent, he would lead his subordinates to rush in and protect Wang Maozhang. As for the murder, it was naturally the duty of Xu Zixi, who was covered with scars on his face behind him. Thinking of this, Wang Qinian couldn't help but look back at Xu Zixi. This guy with unknown origin stood quietly behind the tent, wearing a mysterious suit, but not wearing armor. He did not carry a horizontal sword suitable for fighting like an ordinary soldier, but it was a jade sword that looked more like a decorative one. Standing there, like a jade tree in the wind, with excellent demeanor. If it weren't for the scars on his face, he would really look like a young master of the turbid world, which was quite inconsistent with the nervous madness in front of him.
Seeing Xu Zixi's appearance, Wang Qinian couldn't help but secretly admire him. After all, the tent is not all good-for-nosed. They are all veterans who have been through the army for a long time. And if the problem cannot be solved quickly and are discovered by Xuan Run's soldiers outside, it would be bad. He and his men are all Lao Qiu Ba, but his vest is still wet at this moment. But Xu Zixi looks used to being pampered and still so calm at the critical moment. He is a figure. While he was thinking, he heard a roar in the tent. With a thought, he was about to draw his sword and rush in. His shoulders tightened, but was pressed by Xu Zixi, and he heard a deep voice in his ear: "There is no signal, the general is safe, it should be a big deal."
Wang Qinian listened carefully, but Lu Fang's voice was in the tent: "Now the enemy is in front of us, everyone is on the same boat, so it's better to work together." He knew that he was confused just now and almost poked a big leak. He couldn't help but admire Xu Zixi's calmness and turned around to thank him. There was no expression on Xu Zixi's face, but he just gave a faint gift. But Wang Qinian didn't know why, he always felt a sense of disappointment on this person, as if he wanted to rush in and get angry.
At this time, the door of the military tent suddenly opened. Wang Maozhang walked out first. Lu Fang followed closely behind. Other generals came out one after another, cursing Lu Fang as the Sima of the Runzhou marching. An Envoy promoted him, but supported outsiders to seize the military power of Runzhou. The words on both ends of the head and rat were vaguely heard. Obviously, the military discussion in the tent had already achieved results. Wang Maozhang won a great victory with the support of Lu Fang, but he didn't know that the unlucky guy was sent to the position of the palace.
