Chapter 1176: Action

Looking at the warrant handed over by the other party, Ding Sheng was stunned and could not speak for a moment.

He naturally recognized his father's handwriting. Moreover, the seal on it is also his father's private seal. Very few people know this seal, and unless they are extremely confidant subordinates, they don't know the function of the seal at all. Lu Yuan happened to be one of them.

"See the order and set off immediately and return to Ding Hao's command!" At the end of the entire order, a line of red characters written with cinnabar pen deeply hurt Ding Sheng's nerves.

What exactly is the reason that my father was far away in Guangzhou City and issued such an inexplicable order. Didn’t he know that Lu Yuan took the 5,000 most elite cavalry in Hunan and tore a big hole in the Yiyang defense line?

If he had informed himself in advance, he could make some arrangements, but now he suddenly pulled away such a soldier and horse. What should he do if Shi Zhuang, the opposite side, saw such a big flaw, wouldn't he be overjoyed? If he didn't take advantage of the situation, that would be a strange thing?

"Young Marshal, do you want to go and chase General Lu Yuan back immediately?"

Ding Sheng shook his head with a gloomy face: "This is my father's handwritten instruction. Lu Yuan, that old man, will not pay attention to me. It will be useless to go there. You immediately assemble the reserve troops in Yiyang City and rush to Shuangjiangkou as quickly as possible, hoping to block this gap in defense before the opponent discovers this flaw."

"Young marshal, the combat effectiveness of the reserve troops can be compared with General Lu Yuan, and the opposite is Chen Chang'an." The general who came to report said with a frown.

"Not to mention Chen Chang'an, even Shi Zhuang's presence would block this hole. Otherwise, if the Northern Tang army was inserted into it, the entire Yiyang defense line would collapse. If Yiyang could not defend, he could only retreat to Changsha, and half of Hunan would be gone." Ding Sheng roared.

Not to mention Ding Sheng's side was furious because Lu Yuan suddenly led his army to leave, Qian Shouyi, on the other side, had also launched a military operation quickly.

He cleaned up Hongzhou in the bloodiest way.

For his father's old subordinates, he had only two paths for them to choose from, either to die or to surrender.

Because of Qian Wenxi's blessing, most of Qian Wen's old subordinates chose to surrender. For them, there were not many moral obstacles. The difference between loyalty to me and loyalty to my son was not very big. Those who were despicable did not expect that Qian Shouyi really did what he said. After a little hesitation, he would make a break with one knife.

Qian Shouyi had no choice. He didn't have time to procrastinate with these people, and his time was limited.

Ren Xiaonian led the army away, but it only took ten days for the Northern Tang Yu Xiaowen Department to fill this gap.

In other words, if they cannot destroy Ren Xiaonian's troops within ten years, what is waiting for them will definitely be another dirty battle. Considering the strong combat power of the Northern Tang army, they will probably steal chickens without losing rice.

This time, they bet on everything, and what they pursued was not just to destroy Ren Xiaonian, the Northern Tang army.

Their target is the entire Right Qianniu Guard.

Only by destroying the entire Right Qianniu Guard can the Northern Tang army be severely damaged in the south and the Southern Alliance be rebuilt with its military advantage in the Eyue area.

After the reorganization, the total 40,000 Jiangxi Army, plus the 10,000 Lingnan Army led by Ji Zhijiang, rushed towards Yichun as quickly as possible.

At this time, the troops left by Ren Xiaonian's troops in Northern Tang Dynasty were only one thousand people.

Even these thousand people were not war soldiers. Instead, they were the logistics track, field hospital, engineering and technology troops affiliated to Ren Xiaonian's troops.

Yichun now collects nearly 50,000 stones of grain and grass from Ren Xiaonian's troops and various logistics supplies. As the Prime Minister's logistics officer Cheng Guangzhi, the next task is to continuously send these logistics supplies to the front line to ensure that the supply of the front line troops will not be short of in such a season.

These days, he has hardly had a good night's sleep. It is mainly difficult to recruit civil servants. Yichun encountered war and the nearby people fled in large numbers. It is too difficult to recruit enough civil servants.

When he was anxious, he would easily get angry. Cheng Guangzhi, who had two big bubbles on his mouth, had his last patrol and finally had time to go back to his room, take a sip of tea, soak a foot comfortably, and then have a good sleep.

The first phase of the food and grass delivery task has basically been completed. Although the process is not perfect, completing the task is better than anything else.

The civilians almost came forcibly. At this time, Cheng Guangzhi was not a discipline or something. It was nothing compared to letting the soldiers on the front line starve and freeze and letting these locals suffer a little. Even if he was held accountable by the inspector after the war, he didn't care.

Anyway, I am so old that after fighting this battle, I will probably retire.

Friends who are about the same age as him have basically retired this time after losing hope of promotion and have returned to their hometown with the retirement money to live a comfortable life.

Although I was reluctant to leave my days in the army, after thinking about it, after I went back, I carried a hoe and led the old cow to plow my own fields. After sunset, I lay under my grape rack and took a few sips of wine, watched my wife feed chickens and ducks in the yard, and listened to a few fat pigs eating in big mouthfuls, which was also a great enjoyment.

I have been fighting for half a lifetime, what are I asking for?

Isn’t it just to seek such a peaceful and peaceful day?

A few days ago, my wife wrote to her, saying that the eldest son of the family fell in love with a girl from the neighboring village and had asked someone to go and talk to her about marriage. She just waited for him to get married after he returned home.

In a blink of an eye, his son was about to get married. Cheng Guangzhi wiped the beard on his chin and couldn't help but laugh with relief. His children and grandchildren were around his knees, not far from him.

Unfortunately, I am one step away from the position of the general. If I hadn't been injured two years ago, I would never have been on the battlefield and won't be able to make military achievements, and I would have been able to go further this year's promotion. After I came to logistics, some big guys like me would have struggled to do it.

The large and small forms sent by the military logistics seemed really hard, and the feeling of being unable to do so. Sometimes, I really wanted Cheng Guangzhi to slash people with a knife.

There is no way, he can only use the trick of diligence to make up for his shortcomings. He spends more time and more effort to make up for the shortcomings of his abilities in this area. The changes have been so fast over the years. All the new recruits are literate and literate, especially those officers who come to intern after graduating from military academy, all of them are amazing.

Thanks to these people, I can do this job until now without any omissions.

But Cheng Guangzhi also became enlightened. In the future, a rude man like him who could not recognize many words would really have no place to stand in his place.

The water in the iron kettle in the fire pit boiled in a gulp. Cheng Guangzhi decided to make a pot of hot tea for himself first, and then soak his feet while drinking hot tea.

Of course, tea is not good, it is just some of the cheapest tea mousse, but Cheng Guangzhi is still good at this sip. He threw a handful of tea mousse in it, and the tea brewed was bitter and astringent, but he was happy. Others said that he couldn't sleep at all after drinking such tea. He snorted his nose, what does it mean to be unable to sleep? He was not tired. Like himself, no matter how much he drank, he poured it on the bed, and he still snored like thunder.

I had just finished making tea and was about to pour the water from the iron kettle into the wooden basin, but the door was knocked open with a slam. His deputy, the little guy from Wuyi Military Academy, almost dragged a guy all over his body.

"Person Cheng, the enemy is here!"

Cheng Guangzhi was stunned, stood up straight, looked at his somewhat panicked deputy, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? What's wrong?"

"Captain Cheng, the enemy troops in Jiangxi are attacking. There are 50,000 people. The vanguard is 10,000. It is less than fifty miles away from Yichun. We will arrive in Yichun tomorrow at the latest!" The guy, who was soaked all over, had his tone intermittently. If he had not been supported, he would have been unable to stand firm. "I am an inner guard stationed in Jiangxi. After learning the news, I took a small way all the way, but the enemy scouts patrol and intercepted them. There were five people we came out along the way, but I was afraid that the other few would be in danger."

Cheng Guangzhi blinked his eyes and looked at the other party, but he didn't react for a while.

Didn’t the general say that the Jiangxi side had an internal strife, and his son stole my seat and killed him so much that he had no energy to take care of the matter here? Why did he kill him in a blink of an eye?

Thinking of this, a stimulant suddenly reacted.

"How many people do you think there are?"

"Fifty thousand people, 40,000 Jiangxi troops, and 10,000 Lingnan troops, Qian Shouyi came out in full swing!" said the inner guard loudly.

Although Cheng Guangzhi is now doing service, he is an old army. When he hears this number, his face turns pale. This is simply aimed at their main force.

After several circles around the room, looking at the inner guard who seemed to faint, he stuffed the tea jar in his hand into his hand, and said to his deputy: "Tell me my order and the whole army gather."

"Person Cheng, we have a thousand people, I'm afraid we can't defend Yichun."

"Stop it!" Cheng Guangzhi said angrily: "It's not enough to even stuff the enemy's teeth. Gather all of us and prepare to leave Yichun."

"There are still 50,000 stones of grain here in Yichun, and so much military supplies!" the deputy said in a trembling voice.

"All the mules and horses that we gather together are not ours. We can bring as many as we can. If we can't take them, we will burn them away with fire!" Cheng Guangzhi shouted.

"Burn?" The deputy was a little dumb.

"If you don't burn it, will it be left for the enemy to eat and use it?" Cheng Guangzhi said angrily: "Not only do we have to burn things that we cannot take away, but also burn this city. We must not let the enemy occupy it. When our rescue troops come, we will also have to attack this broken city! Also, send someone to send a letter to General Ren Xiaonian and tell him everything that happened here."
