Chapter 1140: Chaos

(School just started, it was epidemic prevention and control, risk investigation, and civilization creation. As a safety-oriented person, I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to urinate. So everyone understands what I mean, there is only this chapter today. I owe three chapters. When I have been busy with this period, I will definitely make up for it. Xuntang has entered the last volume and is collecting it. Before the end, I will definitely make up for it.)

Le Wen's judgment is undoubtedly accurate.

But before he figured out the exact situation in the early stage, he led all his troops out of the city, which was a wrong decision. This wrong decision ultimately made him doomed.

Just as he hurried back to the county town, two thousand elite soldiers led by Tengjian caught up with him. All of these two thousand men had horses. In addition to cavalry, even infantrymen had a horse that could be used as foot power.

More than 1,000 Le Wen was caught up, about 300 of them were veterans brought by him from the Observation Mansion. The remaining nearly 1,000 were all strong men recruited by the people of De'an. Although they had been trained for more than a year, they had never been on the battlefield. Compared with the group of tigers and wolves under Teng Jian's command who had been through battle formations and were fed by silver, they were completely out of the same level.

As soon as the two sides fought, Lewen's troops collapsed like an avalanche. Even Lewen was killed in the chaos. If Tengjian had not had the intention to chase the remaining deserters, these more than a thousand men would have been afraid that none of them would have escaped.

After defeating De'an, the only army, Tengjian continued to work hard. Before De'an County had received the final message, he had already arrived at the county town and completely occupied the city.

Tengjian did not allow the 2,000 soldiers under his command to participate in any robbery.

This is also what Liu Xinda means.

Once a unit with strict military discipline is infected with this disgust, it is very likely to cause a devastating blow to the army. Therefore, looting and looting have always been the work of Liu An's second-line troops, and the main elite led by Tengjian and Liu Buwu just take the money.

And in the eyes of these soldiers, this money was the military pay given to them by their superiors, and the rewards they gave them were the money they exchanged for their lives, and every pen was clean.

After Liu An's troops entered De'an County, Teng Jian led his 2,000 elite soldiers towards the next goal.

Tengjian and his soldiers naturally would not see that after they left, the entire De'an immediately became a hell on earth. This relatively wealthy city was penniless in the blink of an eye.

The only thing that has changed is that there are fewer people who die.

This is due to a sentence Teng Jian said to Liu An before leaving.

"You can grab all the money, you can grab all the food, and you can grab all the valuable things, but you have to die less, otherwise the people in the north will not be happy. If they are unhappy, our lives will not be easy."

Teng Jian said this, perhaps because he was guessing, or because he knew that Liu An's actions were too much, so he was soft-hearted and said this, but this sentence saved the lives of countless people. In the process of looting De'an, as long as he did not resist, he would eventually leave a life.

De'an, Wuning, Xiushui, Tonggu, Yifeng.

Tengjian entered the army quickly and took a city in almost a day. After taking Yifeng, Tengjian's troops stopped and repaired, but Liu Buwu replaced Tengjian's forward position and continued to attack forward.

After Liu Xinda left Jiujiang, the rapid attack of the army was surprised even the spies from the Northern Tang Dynasty.

Without stopping, he captured a place, plundered a place, and then left immediately.

After taking these places, they had almost no decent resistance. The Jiangxi Observer Army stationed in various places had no chance to assemble, so they were defeated by this well-equipped and fast-moving army, with heavy casualties.

When the news reached Hongzhou and Qian Wenzhong's observation was spread to Qian Wenzhong's mansion, Qian Wenzhong was furious.

Liu Xinda simply regarded him as if nothing had happened. After E Yue retreated, he was suspected of colluding with the Northern Tang Dynasty. Once he occupied Jiujiang, if the Guangzhou court had not advised him to put the overall situation first and not have conflicts with Liu Xinda, he would have gathered a large army to fight and take it back to Jiujiang.

Now, the Guangzhou court hopes that Liu Xinda's troops will become the front line of resisting the Northern Tang army after occupying Jiujiang has completely gone bankrupt. This person is completely a wolf cub who cannot be fed. He is not satisfied with occupying Jiujiang. Now, can he actually want to occupy Hongzhou and directly attack his own nest and replace him?

However, after anger, Qian Wenzhong was still afraid of the combat effectiveness of Liu Xinda's troops. Jiangxi observation made most of the troops with considerable combat qualities have been eliminated by the Northern Tang army in the Battle of Eyue. Now the remaining part has become the lifeblood of Qian Wenzhong and is where he settled down. The other troops recruited have been trained for quite a while, but the gap between the elite troops of a hundred battles is not a small part.

He said he wanted to attack Liu Xinda, but in the field, Qian Wenzhong really had no confidence.

Moreover, as time goes by, more and more information is transmitted back, making Qian Wen even more suspicious.

Because Liu Xinda captured these places and robbed them, he escaped. The Northern Tang army followed him and took over these places.

"Liu Xinda has definitely surrendered to Bei Tang!" Qian Wenzhong looked at the civil and military people under his command, and could not hide his panic. Didn't it mean that Bei Tang would not take action now? Why did he fight? Just Liu Xinda, he felt that he could still defend it, but with Bei Tang, it was not the same level at all. "Fu Xuan, what should we do now?"

As Qian Wenzhong's number one confidant, Fu Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Master, Liu Xinda's chance of surrendering to the Northern Tang Dynasty is not high. We all know that the Northern Tang army has the most strict military discipline, but this time Liu Xinda walked around and grabbed a place. Wherever he passed, it was almost a piece of white land. This person seemed to be escaping and was forced to escape by the Northern Tang army. However, the Northern Tang people followed him and picked up ready-made ones. From this point of view, they seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding."

"No matter whether he really surrendered or not, the consequences are not the same?"

"It's different." Fu Xuan said: "If Liu Xinda really surrendered to Northern Tang, the next step is that he would be afraid that he would come to attack Hongzhou. If he hadn't surrendered, he would never come to touch a big city like Hongzhou. Because such a big city would be enough to make Liu Xinda's head bleeding and suffer heavy losses."

"What do you mean is that Hongzhou will definitely be safe and sound?" Qian Wenzhong asked.

"Not bad!" Fu Xuan said.

"But even so, will we just sit back and watch him poison the area we governed? If this continues, what else can we have left?" Qian Wenzhong made a great peace, but his face was filled with sorrow.

"Of course not!" Fu Xuan said: "Master, we still have to encircle and suppress the enemy. Leave an elite guarding Hongzhou City, and the remaining army will be divided into several routes, steadily and never advance, and will take steps forward to gradually narrow their activity area. If Liu Xinda was really forced to run by the Tang army, then he would never have a head-on collision with us because he could not afford to lose money."

Qian Wenzhong nodded slightly.

"In addition, we must ask the Guangzhou court for help and ask them to send elite troops to support. Third, issue official documents to Hunan, asking Ding Taiyi to cooperate with us to jointly encircle and eliminate Liu Xinda." Fu Xuan continued.

"Where is Ding Taiyi willing to take grain from our fire?" Qian Wenzhong sighed: "When he asked the general to send troops to E Yue together, didn't he refuse?"

"If Liu Xin reaches a wandering army, it is possible that it is not just Jiangxi. Can they be safe in Hunan alone?" Fu Xuan sneered: "Once we stabilize our feet, once Liu Xinda can no longer succeed easily, he may have to go to Hunan to find trouble for him. At this time, if everyone does not work together to encircle Liu Xinda, it is afraid that it will become our confidant in the future. The general explained this to the other party clearly. If he is not moved, we will have no choice but to tie our fences tightly. Once Liu Xinda is forced to leave Jiangxi, he will definitely be allowed to have a chance to come back."

"Okay, that's it!" Qian Wenzhong nodded repeatedly. "There are more than 30,000 troops in Hongzhou, leaving 10,000 troops to guard the city of Zhou. The remaining 20,000 troops were accompanied by tens of thousands of young and strong men, divided into three routes to encircle and suppress Liu Xinda."

"Don't fight in a strait, don't fight lightly, just force the other party to leave Jiangxi!" Fu Xuan reminded: "Three armies must echo each other, and you must not advance rashly and lose each other's support."

Not to mention the full mobilization of Qianwen, several armies finally began to advance slowly after more than ten days of assembly and preparation. They only said that Liu Xinda's main army, which had been repaired in Yixing for more than ten days, finally dispatched again, but this time, they encountered a big city.

Five thousand elite troops came out together to surround Yichun. After using grenades to explode the Yichun city gate, the army rushed into the first Jiangxi prefecture city they occupied since they sent troops.

Here, their gains far exceeded the total gains they had in the previous places. After all, with their dispatch, the nearby big families fled into this city to avoid risks, but they did not expect that this city, which seemed extremely strong, was still vulnerable to the other side.

Yichun was swept away, and countless wealthy households were killed and looted.

After taking Yichun, Liu Xinda's troops continued to fight and launched an attack on Pingxiang again. This time, they encountered a slightly decent resistance. Liu Xinda's troops were blocked for three days before they were taken down. The consequence was that after the city was broken, the entire Pingxiang suffered even more cruel revenge.

After taking down Pingxiang, Liu Xinda's troops paused again.

Next, they were about to step into Hunan. Before entering Hunan, they needed to replenish their weapons again. During the two battles between Po Yichun and Po Pingxiang, the grenades and oil bombs played an important role from where the people in the Northern Tang Dynasty bought, especially in the battle of Pingxiang. Because their actions in Yichun were too cruel, the wealthy and wealthy families who fled to Pingxiang no longer reported the fantasy of Ren Bao. Everyone took out all their family background and fought to the death to resist Liu Xinda's troops. In the end, Liu Xinda almost exhausted all the grenades and oil bombs before taking Pingxiang.

Liu Xinda is not short of money now, he is very rich now. Compared with money, he now cherishes his thousands of elite troops.

The people of Northern Tang were shameless. Their armies had increased their prices, and a grenade cost five taels of silver.

However, this is not a problem for Liu Xinda. After seeing the power of these weapons, Liu Xinda didn't care about money at all. As long as it could be bought, and the money was gone, you can grab it again.

Yichun and Pingxiang were destroyed, which made Jiangxi observations almost vomit blood. This time he also confirmed that Liu Xinda would not touch Hongzhou. He personally went to the front line to command the encirclement and suppression of Liu Xinda's troops.

At this time, Ding Taiyi from Hunan also received a letter from Qian Wenzhong.

Everyone understands the truth. Now Liu Xinda is entrenched in Pingxiang, and is only one step away from his territory. However, although he understands this truth, it is not so easy to mobilize the army on a large scale. Because at this moment, Shi Zhuang, the general of the Northern Tang Dynasty in Yueyang, has been frequently moving, and the front-line troops have been continuously mobilized. General Shi Zhuang and provincial governor Qian Biao have appeared on the front line of confrontation between the two sides many times.

Faced with the strong pressure from Shi Zhuang, how could Ding Taiyi have the intention to care about Liu Xinda, a mere bandit? He could only order Zhuzhou and other places close to Pingxiang to take strict precautions and resist Liu Xinda's troops' invasion of Hunan. However, he was powerless to Qian Wenzhong's plan to work together to encircle Liu Xinda.

For the Northern Tang Dynasty, this was originally a major plan to span two provinces and two guards. In order to cooperate with Liu Xinda, Shi Zhuang, and Li Mi's troops, they all acted.

And this is also the reason why the Northern Tang Neiwei increased the price of the arms sold to Liu Xinda without scrupulously. Is our army mobilized for you for the sake of you? What are the things sold to you now cheap? The implication is that if Liu Xinda can offer some money, that is the most suitable one.

The Guangzhou court agreed to Qian Wenzhong's request for help. An army of 10,000 people led by Xiang Jun quickly drove into Jiangxi. Xiang Zhen, who was still in the camp of Lianhua Mountain, began to bow down and write again after a long silence. Then, these letters flew silently to all directions.

The situation seemed to be getting worse and worse. His previous judgment was somewhat wrong. The Northern Tang did not mean to send troops on a large scale, but this did not mean that they would not take action. Liu Xinda, the disaster they laid in advance, finally began to show his huge power.

On the map of Xiang Zhen, drawing the trajectory of Liu Xinda's movement since the troops were sent, Xiang Zhen could almost determine that Liu Xinda's next goal was definitely Zhuzhou, Hunan. With the current power of Zhuzhou, it was simply unable to resist Liu Xinda's attack. Jiangxi Milun, and it was Hunan Milun's turn next.

The Northern Tang almost used a soldier, which made the entire Southern Alliance chaotic.

But he can't do anything now.
