Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth Chapters
Huainan Road, at Shouchun City, Shouzhou's capital. A battle ended with a great victory for the official army. Therefore, the countryside was full of rebels who came to attack, and they were defeated and abandoned.
And in the city,
"I'll ask the coach Cao to accomplish one or two. Just lend me five thousand, no, only three thousand soldiers; that's right, no, I'll definitely be able to take back the hometown of Luzhou, split, and divide the thief and the commander of the Jieshi echo the north and south. I'll wait for an opportunity to connect with the Gao Envoy to form a piece of...
Yang Xingmin, the governor of Luzhou and the defensive commander of Shuzhou, who had just fought again in the battle against the thieves, was also covered in blood and confused. He temporarily sent Cao Quanshi, the governor of the Tianping Army under his account, to once again ask for advice on his interests, just to be able to borrow troops to restore his hometown.
"I won't hide it from you. It's impossible to borrow troops. I won't stay here for long. I've received a urge to join the Dongdu Camp the day before yesterday. I ordered us to lead our troops back to the Huai River to prevent the thieves from rushing to Henan."
Cao Quanyue, who had a gray-faced face and a spotted hair, had a slow thought.
"This..., is Cao Cao going to abandon my Huainan military and civilians?"
Hearing this news, Yang Xingmin shouted with a sad voice.
"After all, the thieves in Huainan have become established, and it is difficult to exterminate and suppress them in a short time. Now, although there have been many successes in the battle in Shouzhou, they are just a few thieves. However, Huang Ni and the thieves are still powerful and threatening Xu Si... The reason why they can only prevent blocking Huainan and Xu Ran was planning to do so..."
Cao Quanyue sighed at him helplessly.
"Thank you for your understanding of the festival, but the journey and the right are all local. I am really the most important thing in the village. I am ashamed of not being able to follow the festival."
Yang Xingmin couldn't help but feel disappointed and was about to retreat; however, Cao Quanyue's words then ignited hope again.
"However, if you are willing to serve the court, you will temporarily take over the land of Shouzhou after the town is moved to the army. Even those land units, village soldiers and garrisons can be subordinate to their commands. If you can stand up to fight against the thieves based on this, why should you stick to a corner of Luzhou?"
"Thank you for your support and fulfillment. Xingmin should do his best to repay you... Don't worry about it later."
He immediately shouted with a great prayer of free heart.
You should know that the land and household registration in Shouzhou, Anzhou and Shenzhou areas under the supervision of the Tianping Army is still relatively intact; Shouzhou is a key Huaizhong area of the five counties under its jurisdiction, and it is much better than the broken three counties of Luzhou.
"I still have a Shatuo soldier who is known for his brute force, so I can stay with you to help you... I hope you can do it yourself."
Cao Quanyue described it as becoming more and more cordial.
"Cadres go to the temple for the commander of the festival and will never cried out."
Yang Xingmin became more and more grateful and bowed directly to the ground and said loudly.
Seeing Yang Xingmin's gratitude and tears in his heart, Cao Quanyue's description was unchanged and he just sighed secretly. If it weren't for the current internal and external affairs of the court and the decline of national affairs, there would be no military general available for a while, so why would he rely on and rely on such a person?
If he was ordered to fight against the thieves, he was the longest one among the commanders of the imperial court to help the thieves. He was originally a martial artist who was a wise general in the Xiantong period and served as the commander of Henan. Because of his contribution to combating the thieves, he was soon promoted to the governor of Zibo.
Then, he encountered Zhang Li, the governor of the Tianping Army, who died of illness. Ya general Cui Junyu caused rebellion and claimed that he was in charge of the affairs of the state. Cao Quanru sent troops from Zibo to kill him, quelled the rebellion, and Meng Zhui was granted the title of the Tianping Army as the Liuhou.
Since Wang Xianzhi started from Changheng, he has been following Song Wei, the governor of Pinglu, in Henan Province as his deputy. After Song Wei failed to report his military achievements and dismissed, he became Zeng Yuanyu's right-hand man and continued to fight for Pingkou.
After Wang Xianzhi was executed, he was able to serve as the governor of Tianping Army, and to fight against the remaining remnants of the thieves who fled south, and to severely punish the thieves and enslavements, finally eliminated all the thieves between Yun, Cao and Pu;
Then the yellow thieves rose again in the Jianghuai River and fled to Lingnan. He was also ordered to lead troops out of the town to defend the situation. He first attacked Jiangxi, then fought in Shannan, and then defended the Huai River. It has been three years since then. In the early years, Huafa Congrong also became the mottled hair and beard today. However, the bandits in the world are getting heavier and heavier, and the more they kill.
However, he also witnessed with his own eyes how the situation of the state and the dynasty gradually collapsed between the fluctuations and ups and downs of the court's political struggles and the repeated tug-of-war between the lies and false reports.
I also saw with my own eyes how the loyal ministers and generals in the world who were eager to the court gradually withered in this chaotic world like a prison; and that those gangsters from the grass-roots and green forests rose one after another and filled the official army.
This time, another reason why the court sent people to urge him to move his troops to Huai was ridiculous but helpless. However, it was to deter and monitor those who surrendered and rebelled, plundered Shen and Guang from all over the country, and threatened the heroes of Henan and the Song Dynasty and Liu Hanhong from the Song Dynasty; forcing him to return to the court to avoid moving abnormally.
Therefore, he could only seek medical treatment in a hurry, and to win over and use these generals who have not been in service for a long time; even the other party was once a mud-legged person who participated in the rebellion of the government; but compared with the Huang Ni army that threatened the hinterland of the state dynasty, it was nothing.
After repeated gratitude and farewell, Yang Xingmin also said to his wife and uncle and Zhu Yanshou
"Lao San'er, how many people are there in our company now... and how many can we use it immediately."
"When we took out Luzhou, we only brought out five or six hundred people. In addition, those recruited along the way, the available people are only less than a thousand people at the left and right battalions..."
Zhu Yanshou replied immediately.
"That's enough. Come with me to get the troops and use them quickly. Let's try to expand the number of people again."
Yang Xingmin immediately said.
"Defense, what's the situation... Do we have more money and food to raise soldiers now?"
Zhu Yanshou became even more confused.
"There may not be now, and there will be it in the future. Maybe in a few days, this Shouzhou will be the foundation for us to build again..."
Yang Xingmin became more and more lustful.
"this.."
Zhu Yanshou was shocked, as if he had thought of something bad, his face suddenly changed.
"This is based on the intention of recruiting people. We must hurry up and prepare to collect other teams."
Yang Xingmin then laughed.
At this time, another general, Tian Feng came over and said:
"Defense, there is new news from Yangzhou, saying that the thieves seemed to have been in chaos, and the Taiping thieves' troops have already begun to cross the south of the Yangtze River. There are also eyewitnesses who come back to report that there are only one other thieves in the ancient city of Luzhou today, about 3,000 thieves from other units... "
"This is really God helping me. Should we restore our countryside?"
Zhu Yanshou couldn't help but stomp his fists and said happily; after all, this unique thief army has left them with many shadows and lingering fears.
"Don't rush for a while, let's stabilize our situation in Shouzhou first..."
Hearing this news, Yang Xingmin cooled down from ecstasy. Then, he said to Tian Feng again
"Dechen, you need to send someone to Yangzhou to take a trip."
"But do you want to contact Prince Gao in Yangzhou City to respond?"
Tian Bo couldn't help but respond.
"No, you need to find the relationship between the past... to find a way to send a message to Tianchang County..."
Yang Xingmin's eyes were flowing.
"Why is this... Now that we have the foundation and credentials, why bother..."
Tian Feng was very surprised.
"The hope of not being able to restore Luzhou is on this point..."
Yang Xingmin has a meaningful way.
Because at this moment, he remembered the story of Liu Hanhong, the governor of Suzhou on the other side of the Huai River. Since the court could allow these fickle people to return to their commands several times, how could he, who was beyond the reach, be unable to reach his own situation?
The only thing that is worth worrying is that the peace thief who is not an official army but is better than an official army. After all, the navy troops of those generations have repeatedly patrolled the river and kept following each other. If they cannot avoid or eliminate this problem, even if they recover their hometown in Luzhou, they may not be able to live in peace.
......
Zhou Huaian was ignorantly called out, and suddenly sneezes on the south bank of the Yangtze River that was landing again; but he sighed at the flag that disappeared from the other side. Finally, it was not the worst result he expected.
After all, if the General's Mansion led by Huang Chao is a key large-scale MT that attracts the hatred and firepower of the imperial camp, if it is unable to think about it, it will really accept the imperial enthronement and fall into civil war and turmoil; it will be a huge trouble for Zhou Huaian and the corresponding Taiping Army forces.
However, the current situation can only be said to be not that bad. After this incident, the open divisions and gaps cannot be bridged. This also made Zhou Huaian secretly use the momentum of the rebel army to develop his despicable plans to farm, and he failed.
Is this the troubles and troubles caused by excessive intervention and changing the historical trajectory? He couldn't help but secretly alert and self-reflection in his heart. On the other hand, it was an urgent report from outside the Lingbian, which dispelled Zhou Huaian's last bit of luck and expectation for continuing to stay in Huainan;
Just seven or eight days ago, more than a dozen former rebel leaders placed in Guangzhou colluded with some people from the left and right patrol teams in Guangzhou, and launched an accident against the residences of the left-behind personnel and Wang Pan.
Then, after burning several houses and demolishing half of the wall, it was suppressed by the paramilitary armed forces in Guangzhou City and the outer third-line patrol team. However, this also sounded the alarm for Zhou Huaian again.
