Chapter 97
Although they were friendly forces who fought in concert, they were still not in charge. After a meeting, Li Tianqu, Li Cunzhang, Li Cunxin and other vassal vassal corpses led by Hedong generals still had to go on their own. After a brief meeting, the army and horses of both sides would meet again. After a short meeting, if they knew where they came from, they would not blindly take action and accidentally injured the friendly forces.
In addition to Li Cunzhang's friendly attitude, Li Cunxin, who was incompatible with Li Cunxiao, was also more polite and polite. Li Tianqu originally thought that he was still planning to use tricks to Li Cunxiao and stumbling, but later he found out that it was not the case.
Because on the eve of the departure of the army, Li Cunzhang and Li Cunxin both intentionally or unintentionally hinted to Li Tianqu: Chenzhou official army and Xuanwu army Zhu Quanzhong communicated with each other. Although the rebellion of the thief in Chao is declining, Huang Chao, the main lord, is still missing, and we are also in love with Li Du. If your army and horses really find Huang Chao's traces, it is not just Zhu Quanzhong, why don't you send a horse to report to our army to know? If you can achieve the great achievements in killing the thief leader, you will naturally have to count the Li Du General...
It seems that if there are dates or not, you have to fight for a long time... Li Tianqu knew that he had killed Meng Kai and defended Chenzhou with his own hands, and had not yet reached the level of high esteem among the generals of the Hedong vassal states. However, more troops and horses would be more hopeful, so Li Cunzhang and Li Cunxin showed a kind attitude of treating courtesy. Li Tianqu thought that it was because Chenzhou had a small military strength and most of them could not fight for such great contributions to kill Huang Chao. Therefore, they tried to use other forces to try to intercept Huang Chao more.
"Be a big dream of spring and autumn! Li Cunxiao's donkey bird is so contemptuous to us. Li Cunzhang and Li Cun believe in Buddhism and the snake's heart. To put it bluntly, isn't he trying to use us? No one in Hedong can trust us. We can never do anything to make a fuss with a tiger!"
Located in the outskirts of Qufu County, located in the southern part of the central and central part of Yanzhou, Huo Cun cursed in anger. Although he had fought desperately at the head of Wanqiu City, Wang Yanzhang and Huo Cun were both brave and warlike generals and had a strong and friendly temperament. After these days, the relationship has also been much closer. So before Huo Cun finished speaking, Wang Yanzhang continued:
"That's right! Even if our troops are not as powerful as the Xuanwu Army and the Hedong Army, Brother Li once said that we must try to fight for such great achievements as Huang Chao. I see that the Hedong Army is not as good as Zhu Quanzhong of Xuanwu Army. Li Cunzhang and Li Cunxin said it nicely, but if we can really find Huang Chao's traces, the Hedong Army is coming to grab the merits and bully people with great power, how can we share the benefits of what kind of benefits?
As Brother Li’s instructions, of course we have to fight for the unparalleled achievements. But after all, this is to do our best. If we follow the will of heaven, we will make a big splash. If we fail, we will not succeed. But no matter what, we can’t afford to be Li Keyong, who is in Hedong!”
It seems that because Li Cunxiao was so hated, perhaps it was because of Wang Yanzhang, Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba, and Huo Cun, according to their original fate, they were supposed to be founding heroes of the Liang Dynasty and had all participated in the battle for hegemony in Jin and Liang, so they had a fateful conflict with Li Ke-yong's forces.
However, unlike Wang Yanzhang, who was angry and angry, Huo Cun and others, Ge Congzhou, who was thinking about planning along the way, suddenly spoke: "This is a bit strange. Li Keyong is bound to kill Huang Chao first. Li Cunzhang and Li Cunxin showed good instructions and tried to try to cooperate with military and horses to explore Huang Chao's traces as soon as possible...
But since the Hedong Army is so anxious, why have we all entered the boundary of Yanzhou? However, there are only cavalry commanders under the command of Li Cunzhang, Li Cunxin and Li Cunxiao. Li Keyong and other Hedong people led by him were left behind by us?"
As soon as Ge Congzhou said this, everyone present immediately noticed. Among them, Zhang Guiba immediately asked: "Brother Zhou, as you think, why is this?"
Although Ge Congzhou's face was calm, when he was thinking deeply, there seemed to be a light in his eyes: "If what I expected was not bad, I guess Li Keyong would not be able to last for a long time, but he had to retreat in disgrace..."
As soon as Ge Congzhou said this, Li Tianqu couldn't help but secretly praised Ge Congzhou, and he really deserved to be one of the best generals in the early days of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. On the way, he speculated and analyzed the movements of the Hedong Army units, and it must be consistent with the historical records that Li Keyong had to withdraw his troops:
Li Keyong led his army to cross south from Hezhong, and went to Ru, Luo, Yu Taikang, Xihua and Wang Mandu to win a series of great victory and pursued the rebel army to Caozhou, but in the end he had to withdraw his troops due to lack of troops and food.
He vowed to take the head of Huang Chao, Li Keyong gathered 50,000 troops from the Han Dynasty. As soon as he joined the battle, he was invincible and killed the rebels and retreated step by step. However, Li Keyong's legitimate control of the Hedong vassal states was only a year ago. The reserved military rations were limited, and how long could it last for the daily consumption of the 50,000 troops?
Moreover, when Huang Chao attacked Chenzhou, he led his troops to dozens of military states around him, like a huge locust, robbing them everywhere, burning them all, killing them all... and even "eat them all". Li Keyong led his troops to pursue him, and he could not conquer food and fodder along the way. People were iron, food was steel, and even brave soldiers could not fight hungry all day long. The other vassal states still watched the wall, and the friendly forces that jointly sent troops were all jealous and anxious to kill Huang Chao first. How could they provide any material assistance to Li Keyong?
In fact, most of the remaining main troops of Huang Chao were killed and crippled by Zhu Wen and Li Ke. But in the end, he was exhausted due to lack of troops and food. He also considered that the Hedong vassal states were now heard that Li Keyong's plan was in charge of Gaiyu and his brothers were in charge of guarding him. After delaying outside for a long time, he had to withdraw from the ranks of fighting for Huang Chao's head.
In this way, Shi Pu, the governor of the Jieshi Army, who controls the area, is relatively close to Yanzhou, gets the moon first. In the historical trajectory, he sent troops to find Huang Chao's traces and makes up for a fatal blow. Li Keyong failed, and he was just about to kick the ball. I wonder if he would beat his chest and stamp his feet after learning about this. It would be a pity?
"Since Brother Zhou was indeed meticulous. This time, Li Keyong led 50,000 troops from the Han Dynasty to the south, rushing to the long distance, galloping and chasing. It must have been trying to hit the key points and capture Huang Chao in one fell swoop. However, the centipede insect died but did not stagnate. The remaining Huang Chao's troops were afraid of falling into shock, but they could still resist a few formations. The original intention was to quickly take Huang Chao's head, but if the logistics supply was unsustainable, Li Keyong would naturally find it difficult to hold on..."
Li Tianqu first agreed with Ge Congzhou's accuracy in thinking and prediction, and then said:
"As the food and fodder were about to be exhausted, Li Ke used to cut off the porridge and had to make careful calculations, and it was very likely that he could not gather heavy troops to advance rashly. Li Cunzhang and the vanguard cavalry led by Li Cunxin had to make the final attempt, so he also made a calculation on us.
As for Zhu Quanzhong, his situation is actually similar to that of Li Keyong. When Zhu Quanzhong was rewarded for his revenge of Chang'an, he accepted the command of the Xuanwu Army's vassal state for more than a year. Now he lacks savings and people's hearts are unstable. Although Huang Chao wants to get rid of it quickly, he will compete for that great achievement. But if he still cannot find Huang Chao's traces, he will probably not continue to wear down...
Zhou Ji, the Zhongwu Army, was not as talented, brave and powerful as the military power, could not be compared with Zhu Wen and Li Keyong. Moreover, since Huang Chao retreated from Henan Road, Zhou Ji did not pursue the army. It seemed that he was just fighting for the great achievements of Huang Chao... Now it seems that it will not take long for Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong to retreat separately, then the only one who still tried to hunt down Huang Chao and take his head was the only military governor who influenced the army.
