Chapter 297 Chaos, Brightness
Cui Shang took a deep breath, focused his thoughts, and then slowly said: "Can the Tianping Army leave Kaocheng and advance to Yongqiu?"
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up, this is a clever trick.
If we directly confront Shi Jingtang's troops who entered Xiangyi, there is a very likely situation of a fierce battle. It is hard to say whether we can control the situation. Maybe both sides are just a test, but because they cannot leave the Taiwan Strait, it turns into a war. What impact will it have on the entire situation in the end? It is really hard to say.
But there was a lot of room for maneuver to send troops from Kaocheng to Yongqiu.
Advancing Yongqiu instead of attacking Yongqiu, Yongqiu went deep into the retreat of Shi Jingtang's tribe in Xiangyi. Once Yongqiu fell, then Shi Jingtang's tribe in Xiangyi would be alone.
But it's just forcing, but not attacking, which means it's clear that if you still have no idea what's going on, then you'll be rude to you.
"Well, very good. I ordered Zhu Mao to send troops to Yongqiu, and his troops were determined. He intended to inform him and let him take control of it. Ningling here will be defended by the Heshuo Army. If the Shatuo people are coming, there is no need to be polite, but there is no need to take the initiative to attack." Jiang Feng thought for a while and ordered.
The atmosphere was a little relieved, and Jiang Feng was still a little depressed.
He was not very satisfied with this battle, but the battlefield itself was ever-changing, and no one could do anything without the ability.
For example, Yuan Wuwei died in battle, and Yuan Huaihe only fled with more than 2,000 people. It can be said that the Xuzhou army has won an unprecedented victory over the Caizhou army in recent years. Moreover, Yuan Huaihe's escape will inevitably cause a chain reaction, which will have a great impact on the morale of Yuan's army in Ying and Bozhou. Yang Kan's offensive in Ying and Bozhou will be smoother.
If Yang Kan can't take over Yingbo and Bo under this situation, Jiang Feng would really doubt whether there was any problem with his vision.
In Qiao County, wars are like fire.
The stone carts that flocked in to attack continuously, and the South City Gate finally collapsed after two days of persistence.
This turned out that half of the city gate collapsed, and at least nearly 300 soldiers on both sides were pressed on the collapsed city wall. However, Wang Shouxin, who had already been red-eyed, refused to give up at all and personally led his army to launch a charge.
After several fierce battles, the Caizhou army in Qiao County collapsed.
On the tenth day of August, the Wuning Army captured Qiao County and destroyed more than 12,000 Caizhou Army.
On August 11, Yang Kan personally led a large army across the Feishui River and rushed to Yingzhou Prefecture to govern Ruyin. Ruyin was defeated that day, and the army immediately followed the Ying River. On August 13, it defeated Shenqiu. On August 15, it attacked Pingyu, Caizhou, and fought hard for two days but failed.
On August 19th, Yang Kan, who received support from the Huai Right Army, personally led the soldiers and magicians to the city, fought hard for half a day, and defeated the Pingyu.
At the same time, after withdrawing from Suizhou, Liu Xuan's army in Nanyang personally led troops to attack Langshan and Zhenyang, and the weak Caizhou army, which was unable to stop it.
After the Pingyu was down, the east gate of Caizhou had been opened. The Ziqing Army, Heshuo Army and Ya Army, who were heading south from the north, attacked Chenzhou. Yuan Huaihe personally led a large army to fight fiercely with the three armies of Xuzhou in Taikang, but they were outnumbered and were forced to retreat all the way, passing through Wanqiu, and retreating back to Shangcai, Caizhou.
At the same time, on August 11, taking advantage of the conflict between Huang Xin's army in Beizhou and Sun Lai's army in Chengde's army in Changhe, the Pinglu army, which had been in Linji, was hiding in Linyi and Zouping, and suddenly drove northward. On August 14, crossing the river. On August 16, the troops were at Ande's city. Sun Lai led his army to defend Ande to death, but was opened by another Wu Xian, and Ande fell. Sun Lai escaped alone and was later killed and surrendered by his general Wu Yang.
On August 15th, the Luo family of Cangzhou Dongguang responded to the Pinglu army heading north in Dongguang. Luo Kuang's troops announced their support to Xuzhou in Qingchi, and then sent troops to control Jingcheng, Changlu, Lucheng, and Cangzhou then returned to Xuzhou.
On August 25th, the gentry of Yanci announced his surrender to Xuzhou, and Dizhou surrendered, and the entire three eastern prefectures in Chengde were all in the hands of the Xuzhou General Administration.
On August 30, the imperial envoy arrived in Songzhou and appointed Jiangfeng as King Huai. Later, he became King Song and gave him marriage.
At this time, the Caizhou army had lost the four prefectures of Song, Chen, Ying and Bo that they had worked hard to swallow in recent years, especially in Ying and Bo, the advance of the Xuzhou army received great support from local gentry, especially the gentry in many counties raised the Xuzhou banner, and Yang Kan was popular all the way.
On the second day of September, Jiang Feng announced the establishment of Xuanwu Town in Songzhou, Zhou Wang was appointed as the governor of Xuanwu Town, He Guochang was appointed as the deputy governor, stationed in Songzhou, reorganized the surrendered army in Caizhou, part of the scattered Daliang army, and the private army of the various prefectures, and governed the five prefectures of Cai, Song, Chen, Ying, and Bo. He did not hesitate to formally incorporate Caizhou into the rule of Xuzhou. At this time, more than 20,000 troops were stationed in Shangcai and Ruyang.
Wei Bo Guixiang.
Weibo Jiedu Mansion.
Luo Shaowei sat in the Hu chair in the middle of the lobby with a gloomy face, and the generals standing on both sides whispered uneasyly.
The situation changed so quickly that they were dumbfounded and could not accept it for a while.
In just over a month, the Xuzhou army launched a large army to attack Caizhou. The Yuan army, which was originally prosperous, was defeated and retreated step by step. They threw away the four states they had obtained in a few years and returned to Caizhou's nest.
It's okay, after all, Caizhou and Wei Bo are not bordered, and the Caizhou army is backed by Shatuo people, which has little to do with them, but another war that happened around them is closely related to them.
The Pinglu army went north and swept across the three eastern states. The three eastern states of Chengde almost changed their flags overnight. They all returned to Jiang Feng. The only war was actually related to the Wei Bo army. If it weren't for the conflict between Huang Xin's troops stationed in Beizhou and Sun Lai troops stationed in Dezhou, how could the Pinglu army take advantage of the situation and go north and give Sun Lai troops a fatal blow?
Of course, no one knows whether Huang Xin’s ministry fought with Sun Lai’s ministry because of its own interests or had been bribed by Xuzhou.
"Let's discuss it. The Xuzhou envoy has arrived. I am now living in the inn and asking us to give an answer as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed."
Luo Shaowei felt extremely frustrated. It was better to be an inappropriate military governor like him. The arrogant soldiers and generals under his command were arrogant, like Huang Xin from Beizhou, who is typical. Now these guys in the hall are not much better. They usually show off their power, but when they really reach the critical moment, they feel guilty and timid.
"Judgment Master, Xuzhou only wants us to submit, but we have to fire some decent conditions, right?" One of the generals said indignantly: "You can't just say it casually and ask us to submit. Who will guarantee our future interests? What if we pass by, they will be disarmed and incorporated?"
"Yes, I heard that Daliang surrendered generals are trustworthy and heavy in Xuzhou. We don't know what the specific situation is. At least we have to come over the Daliang group of people. They are surrendered and we should submit. In theory, we should treat them more preferentially." As soon as someone spoke, it immediately aroused the consent of others.
"There are conditions, but I'm afraid it's different from what you think. It's not that there will be any benefits if you submit. Instead, we must first do it according to their conditions before there will be benefits."
Luo Shaowei had no expression on his face. These were all guys who didn’t see the rabbit and didn’t show off their eagles. Just talking nonsense, it would be difficult to impress these people.
But he didn't know what kind of relationship between Huang Xin and Xuzhou now, and there was Huang Xin's younger brother Huang Yi here, but he had to think more about it.
"Mr. Jiedu, what are the conditions there? We will not go to the Shatu people." The first person answered immediately: "The Shatu people also offered conditions to cross the south and attack Xuzhou. Now both families are at their peak, so we'd better not provoke them."
"It's not okay to not provoke. Now the situation is getting clearer and clearer. Xuzhou defeated the Yuan family and the Shatuo people entered the Nanyang Basin again. It can be said that the two families have the final say in the Central Plains, and no one else can interfere. Now that Xuzhou is speaking, it means that we Wei Bo will take the team. If we still blindly shirk responsibility and delay, we may not be able to get any better one in the end." Another thin general answered.
Luo Shaowei's eyes flowed. This guy was Huang Yi, Huang Xin's brother. Although there seemed to be little inclination in his words, Luo Shaowei did not believe that Huang Yi and Huang Xin had nothing to do with Xuzhou.
"But if we are asked to join Xuzhou now, what if the Shatuo people explain?" another general asked back.
"That depends on the attitude of the Jiedushi. Is Xuzhou so powerful and has no other room for maneuver and force us to make a choice? There are some other statements." Huang Yi didn't have too many expressions on his face, but just looked at Luo Shaowei, "The Lord said that he should do it according to their conditions. As long as he doesn't turn against the Shatuo people immediately, I think there are all discussions."
"Yes, as long as you don't attack Shatu people, you can consider it." Another group of mindless people immediately agreed.
Luo Shaowei was almost certain that the Huang brothers had been bribed by the Xuzhou army, which is certain.
The question is who else is besides the Huang brothers? Luo Shaowei's eyes were stumbled on the faces of the generals. These guys were as stupid as pigs in big things, but they were all smart when they were petty. He was not sure who else was bribed by Xuzhou, but he was sure that it was definitely not the only ones who were bribed by the Huang brothers.
"The conditions in Xuzhou are very simple. Take Zhang Chujin as a letter of fame!" Luo Shaowei said quietly.
"To become a German army?" This condition surprised the generals, but also felt that it was reasonable.
