7. Hechi is done
Zhang Jingze hurriedly answered the new Feng Xiangyin, saying that Huating had two thousand soldiers in the field, more than a thousand people in the field, and more than 3,000 people were led by the military general Fang Xianhe, who were fighting to the death.
"How many thieves are there in the besieged city?"
"About ten thousand."
"Is there still 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers who are guarding against autumn?"
“Yes.”
"Fengxiang Yining Army has 24,000 troops and 10,000 troops from Xuanwu. The army is far ahead of the foreign gangs. Why not rescue me before I came?" Gao Yue looked angry.
Zhang Jingze, Fu Yuhuai and Xue Baijing were suddenly frightened. They were not only afraid of the Xinjieshen sitting in the hall, but also feared that the military commander Ju Wenzhen, who looked grim and as sharp as a blade, would be impeached by Ju Wenzhen to the capital if he was impeached by Ju and "no courage in the battle" to go to the capital, he would be moved to the left forever, and if he was severe, he would be beheaded on the spot.
In the fire, Zhang Jingze raised his courage and clasped his fists to explain to Gao Yue, "Although our Yining army had 24,000 troops, there were no imperial orders before, so there were only 8,000 people stationed in Longzhou, including 2,000 Huating, 2,000 Weiyang, 1,500 Wushan, and 1,500 more people in the south, and 1,000 more troops in the Xuanwu army to build a city in Neiyuan. This time, the thieves invaded in large numbers and left Dazhen Pass, and the enemy situation was spread all over the Anhua Gorge. The enemy situation was spread throughout Longzhou. The thieves had not yet taken office, so they could only resist according to the city in a hurry. Now that the thieves are in Fengxiang, we are willing to serve the flags and fight the thieves to the death."
Gao Yue nodded and asked, "Where is the current situation of the governor of Longzhou Han Qingxian?"
"I am guarding the town of Weiyang."
"Are there any reinforcements to Huating?"
“Not known yet.”
Hearing this, Gao Yue stood up, beside him was Su Pu, the former general of Huaixi who had been conquered by him, and the five Northern Yamen soldiers who came to inform him of the resignation during the case of the Demon Monk. They were now awarded the position of Wusan official and were accompanied by Gao Yue. After going to Xingyuan Mansion, they were awarded the generals to the camp. Now Gao Yue said to Zhang Jingze and other generals: "General Zhang, General Zhang, immediately follow the imperial court and the envoy of the Junguan to leave Fufeng Post and go to Fengxiang Mansion. They ordered all the generals and soldiers overnight and rushed to Fengyang first."
"Here!" Zhang Jingze and Fu Yuhuai quickly received the order.
"Sima Xue, please take the wooden deed south and go to the military warehouse of Mei County to send money and grain, and collect four thousand Fengxiang Shooters to Weiyang and stand by. Within three days, you must put all the funds and support Shooters in place, otherwise I will not betray you."
Now Xue Baijing had no time to think about his successor to Fengxiang Jingjie, but instead thought about how he could neither be killed by the thieves nor by the iron-faced New Jieshi and the military commander in this high-intensity war.
At midnight, torches gathered in the barracks of the various yards under Fengxiang Prefecture City. In advance, under Xue Baijing's plan, Fengxiang also divided the "general soldiers" and "shock soldiers". Among them, the generals and soldiers had a total of 180 20 battalions and were stationed in the prefecture city. The camp field shooting soldiers were 8,000 sank in Longzhou and 7,000 sank in Fengxiang. The generals were mobilized very quickly. By the third update, Gao Yue and Ju Wenzhen had supervised the generals and soldiers of the 20th battalion to march toward Fengyang City.
The next morning, Gao Yue, Zhang Jingze, and Ju Wenzhen led Fengxiang's horse army to Wenyang first, and the governor Han Qingxian hurriedly stood at the city gate to greet him.
"What is the movement of Xuanwu Army?" Gao Yue got off his horse and didn't bother to exchange greetings. He first asked about the situation of the 10,000 Xuanwu Army soldiers built by Han Qing and Mian in Neiyuan.
The governor of Han said that the 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers were led by the commander of the military envoy of the Bianzhou capital and the chief censor Liu Chang. Although it was called Fangqiu, it was always arrogant. The soldiers were dressed in and the armor was bright, and they mocked the northwest border army as "begging for their sons". Now the foreign thieves are invading in large numbers. Nanyou, Wushan, and Huating have enemy situations, but General Liu Chang only led his headquarters to stay in the built Weiyuan City, and ordered his own orders and did not accept my request for troops!
Gao Yue nodded and said, "It is normal for these Xuanwu soldiers to not accept the orders of Han envoys. I will negotiate immediately." Then he continued to ask Han Qingxian, if Huating had ever tried to send reinforcements.
Han Qing and Mian replied, "I originally had two thousand Sheshi camps guarding the fields in Weiyang City. When I learned that Huating was surrounded, I asked the military general Su Taiping to point out 1,500 soldiers last night, climbed over the mountain to rescue Huating. I left 500 Sheshi and his family members into the city, and stood for help."
At this time, Gao Yue took a look at Wei Gao, which was built by Wei Gao. It was a Fengxiang Fortress (the Jiedushi was still Zhu Li at that time). It was located between Fengxiang Prefecture and the ancient Weiyuan City. It can climb over Weishan to reach Huating in the northwest. There is a river valley (between Weishan and Qishan) path leading to Liangyuan in the south of Jingzhou for a hundred miles. The geographical location is very important. Therefore, before the completion of Weiyuan City, this is the temporary garrison of the Longzhou Governor Gong Party.
There were many flags erected on the top of the city and crossbows were set up at the chassis. Almost all the hundreds of shooting soldiers under the command of the governor Han were on guard, and even women and children were mixed together. It seemed that they had done their best.
Gao Yue said that the focus of the siege of the traitors (the deputy prime minister of the host country, Xu Li) was Huating. Their strategy was to remove Huating, and he could meet with other foreign soldiers (Shang Jiezan) who attacked Pingliang along Liupankou and Panyuan, recapture the place and even the Danzheng Gorge, go deep into Jingzhou, and return to their cavalry to gallop in the plains of Jingzhou, and can reach the old days when Chang'an City was at any time.
So our focus is also on resolving the siege of Huating.
As long as they defeat the thieves besieged Huating, their entire strategy against Fengxiang and Jingyuan will be completely bankrupt.
But I, the generals and soldiers of the 8,000 Yining Army, have insufficient military strength, and I must get the assistance of 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers from Weiyuan.
Gao Yue said to everyone present: "After Liu Chang's troops, I can lift the siege of Huating; after my Xingyuan Dingwu Army comes again, I can still defeat the entire host army invaded by Shang Jiezan."
After saying that, Gao Yue ordered that the 8,000 Yining troops from Fengxiang set up a stove in Weiyang to cook. After an hour, they drove on time, advanced along the Wei River, and stopped at Weiyuan City.
Almost at the same time, after the 7,000 Dingwu Army generals and soldiers of Xingyuan built Hechi City among the mountains and rivers, they had already carried military equipment, baggage, tents, and flags from Xincheng to the east and entered Chencang Road, and headed to Fengxiang and Longzhou.
Hechi City is guarded on the only way to the Jialing River. Its surrounding high gorges are like clouds and cliffs are thousands of feet high. The entire Jialing River starts from Mount Dai and winds through the city like a line. It is majestic. The left bank is full of cliffs. The right bank is slightly wider. Hechiguan City is located on it. There is a road connecting the Chencang Road on the back. It can be said that one man can pass through ten thousand men. This city can go to Tonggu to Qinzhou (the important place of Longyou is occupied by Xifan), Wudu (the important place of Xifan is occupied by Xifan, which is the channel connecting Longyou and Wei and Songzhou). On the right, you can go out from Fengzhou Liangdang to Dasan Pass and into Fengxiang, Jingmin, in the south, into Shukou to Shudu, and to the southeast, you can also go to Baoxi Road to connect to Xingyuan Prefecture, which is a hub of four military important roads.
This city was built by Yan Zhen, the governor of Xingyuan, and the Duzhi Division of the imperial court, mobilized thousands of Dingwu Army soldiers, and took three months to build it.
But the city had just been completed, and the imperial court officials arrived and said that they would immediately conquer Yan Zhen back to the court. The governor of the Xingyuan Dingwu Army was still Gao Yue's.
Yan Zhen, who received the imperial edict in Liangquan Posthouse in Fengzhou City, was stunned.
Chapter completed!
