I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 390 Chaos
For the rebels, the Shangjing court naturally had to respond.

First of all, Zhao Yanlie, the son of the late Duanjing Empress Wu's family, was registered as the prince of the East Palace, and at the same time the prince was named the general of the world's soldiers and horses.

The six-year-old prince is naturally unable to take on important tasks, so he just takes the lead.

Fu Maoxiu, the British Duke, was the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses and also served as the chief historian. He acted as a marshal and controlled wars everywhere.

And announced to the world, passed on to the four directions, the king of Qi did not think of his kindness, did not abide by the way of his ministers, and his deeds were obvious, and he was abolished as a commoner
Take Fu Jinchuan, Marquis of Wu'an, as the general manager of the marching army in Hebei Road, and add the prince Taifu to supervise the Eighth Army of the Imperial Army to fight against the chaos of the common people of Qi in Hebei.

The commander of the Ma Junsi, the bodyguard's pro-army, made Wei Guogong Li Zhaode supervise the Sixth Army to go north to Heyang to help defend Hedong.

Lei Bo, the governor of Qingzhou, was moved to the governor of Yangzhou, and the general manager of the Jianghuai march, and suppressed the rebellious thieves in Jiangnan and Huainan.

At this time, Zhao Yuanzhang, a commoner of Qi, had already led his army northward and went straight to Zhuozhou.

Zhuozhou is the hub of the northern section of the canal, and it also stores a large amount of military rations. As long as Zhuozhou can be taken, Youzhou can be taken directly, and then it will form an echo with the Yan army.

Therefore, Zhuozhou is inevitable for Zhao Yuanzhang.

Although it claims to have an army of 5000, there were only [-] people under the original Weizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Although Zhao Yuanzhang secretly recruited troops, these things could never be brought to light. [-] people have become more than [-] people.

The six prefectures of "Wei, Bo, Bei, Wei, Chan, and Xiang" under the Weizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are only five prefectures that should follow Zhao Yuanzhang.Among them, Xiangzhou and "Chan and" states closed their doors immediately after King Qi's uprising.

And Zhao Yuanzhang ignored the defenders of these two states, and the only thing that mattered to him was going north to join Yan Fan.

Otherwise, once the imperial army arrived, his tens of thousands of people would definitely not last long.

Outside Yuguan, Yanfan's [-] troops came from the pass, and they joined forces for dozens of miles, which is endless.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, it seemed a bit crowded at the moment. There was a large sand table in the middle, on which was the topography of the first generation of Yanzhao in Hebei, and on top of the sand table was a huge map.The map covers Liaodong, Hebei, Hedong, Gyeonggi, Qingyan, and most of Guanzhong and Jianghuai.

Wu Yaoshi, who has been king of Yan for several years, stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, and behind him stood several masterminds and generals of Yan Fan.

Standing in front of Wu Yaoshi and explaining the military situation to everyone was Wang Jian, who joined the army in the Yan Wangfu, who was born in the Wang family of Jinyang. He joined the army in the Wangfu as early as Wu Renguang's time.

Although he is not as trustworthy as Yao Bingshu, he is known as "Number One in Military Strategy" among the staff of Prince Yan's Mansion.

He is responsible for scheduling all the marching sequence of the Yan army, setting up camps, supplying food and other seemingly inconspicuous but actually very important chores.

".Three days ago, King Qi succeeded in attacking Zhuozhou, and he is currently going to Youzhou. However, with the current military strength of King Qi, even if he got the food and grass in Zhuozhou, it would be difficult to capture Youzhou. Tian Hongsi, the general who persuaded Yuguan to surrender It failed, the governor of Youzhou, Anyuan Hou Qiuming, was from a noble family, and the in-laws of the British Duke Fu Maoxiu, it is absolutely impossible to support King Qi."

"The two armies of the Golden Horde Khanate have already been launched. Shuofang Jiedu envoy Xue Cong and Hedong Jiedu envoy are both famous generals in the world, and the frontier troops of the two towns are all elites. It is extremely difficult to make achievements in the northern border."

"Qingtang is still waiting and watching. After all, the battle of Hehuang two years ago caused a lot of losses."

Yaoshi Wu pointed at the map and said, "That is to say, the only thing before us is to storm Yuguan?"

Wang Jian said: "If our army attacks Yuguan by force, it will suffer heavy losses even if it is captured. According to the news from Shangjing, Marquis Wu'an Fu Jinchuan has already led an army of [-] troops to the north, and the king of Qi has only more than [-] people left behind in Weizhou. It is absolutely difficult to resist. Once our army has been delayed in Yuguan for a long time, and Marquis Wu'an first captures Weizhou and goes straight up the canal, he will be able to attack the king of Qi with the officers and troops of Youzhou. If the king of Qi is defeated, our army will attack Going down to Yuguan, I also lost the opportunity."

Wang Jian didn't finish his words, but everyone understood the meaning.

In the decisive battle with the official army under the city of Youzhou, the outcome is unpredictable.

"Maybe we can bypass Toyosu."

Zhang Xunzhi's words made everyone startled, and then their eyes lit up.

No one wants to climb the walls of Yuguan.

Attacking a grand pass often cost tens of thousands of lives.

After spending a long time in Yuguan, even after entering the customs, it is difficult to compete with the elite of the imperial court.

If you detour through Hedong and join forces with the northern army in Hedong, you can attack Hebei from Hedong, or go straight to Gyeonggi Province
Even if you look at Hedong, Guanzhong and Shuofang can make progress.

Ever since, in the case of struggling to find a fighter to no avail, the Yan army left behind suspicious soldiers and detoured to Hedong.

At the same time, it took less than three months for Fu Jinchuan to supervise the Eighth Army, counting from the departure of Shangjing, to pacify Weizhou, which King Qi had been running for five years, and regain dozens of counties in the four prefectures. Go north to Zhuozhou.

But three months is enough time for many things to happen.

First of all, the battle situation in Hedong took a turn for the worse. The northern army of 15 plus [-] Yan troops was divided into two groups. Daizhou, Weizhou, and Xinzhou in Hedong successively fell, and more than [-] troops besieged Jinyang.

As the land of Longxing in the Great Jin Dynasty, Jinyang is nine feet high. It is a mighty city in the world and an important town in the north.

Once Jinyang is captured, it means losing Hedong.

The 25th army besieged Jinyang for more than a month, but did not shake the mighty city.

But at the critical moment, the King Tang in Jinyang City cooperated with the inside and outside, mobilizing the guards to seize the gate, and the defenders were overwhelmed by the surprise attack.

Jinyang fell.

The Jiedu envoy Changxing Hou Geng Jizhong, his son Geng Shao, Yin Liuqin of Jinyang, Wang Huailin, the governor of Daizhou, and Hunjian, the envoy of Datong Army, all died.

The northern army entered the city, burning and killing wantonly, raping and looting.

With the fall of Jinyang, the whole of Hedong fell.

Gyeonggi trembled, and Shangjing City was also in a panic.

When Zhao Yuantan heard that Jinyang had fallen, he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

After Jinzhang and Yanjun joined forces to attack Hedong, they disagreed on the next strategy.

Wu Yaoshi and Zhang Zhixun urged the whole army to go south to attack Heyang, drive directly to Gyeonggi, and quickly captured Shangjing while Marquis Wu'an was in Hebei.

Brother Liuzhi in the northern border proposed to attack Shuofang first, and join forces with his uncle Shiliemen to attack the frontier army of Shuofang.

In the end, the two parties adopted a compromise method after stimulating disputes.

Prince Deming of the North led tens of thousands of cavalry troops to cooperate with the army of the lost martyrdom to attack the Shuofang frontier army.

Brother Liuzhi stayed behind to attack Heyang with the Yan army.

At this time, Li Zhaode, Duke of the State of Wei, was stationed in Heyang. Watching Fu Jinchuan quickly recover dozens of counties in Weizhou and other four prefectures in Hebei, he felt strange.

Regardless of the imperial court ordering him to stand firm, he waited for Fu Jinchuan's edict to lead his army back from Hebei to attack the rebels.

He summoned all the generals and declared that "the general is out, and the emperor's order is not accepted." After several months of fighting between the rebels and the Hulu, they must be exhausted at this time.He also rewarded and lured with military merits.

The generals of the Forbidden Army who followed Li Zhaode also understood that although it would be safe to wait until Fu Jinchuan leads the army to attack, the military exploits must be led by Fu Jinchuan's subordinates.

Therefore, these generals who followed Li Zhaode to the expedition were unwilling to take the initiative to attack with the approval of others.

Li Zhaode left one army to defend the city, and led the five armies to attack.

Meet the enemy in Zezhou, north of Heyang.

The official army won first and then lost. Li Zhaode first set up an ambush, defeated the vanguard of the northern army, and captured thousands of people.

Yaoshi Wu and Brother Liuzhi were overjoyed when they learned that Li Zhaode sent troops on his own initiative, and they didn't care about defeat.

Wu Yaoshi personally led the army to the south and fought against Li Zhaode on Mazhang Mountain, while Liu Zhige personally led the cavalry to attack the rear of the official army and detour hundreds of miles.

Under the attack from both front and back, Li Zhaode was defeated.There were more than [-] people in the five armies, and only a few thousand cavalry were left to break through and rush back to Heyang.

Perhaps out of guilt and self-blame, Wei Guogong Li Zhaode gave up his escape and died in the battle.

In the end, he led hundreds of personal guards to counterattack the Yan army's formation, and finally died of exhaustion.

After Fu Jinchuan heard that Hedong had fallen, he was not in a hurry to return to the capital. Instead, he stepped up his offensive and joined forces with Anyuan Hou Qiuming's Youzhou frontier army to recover Zhuozhou first, and then defeated Zhao Yuanzhang in the field. Thirty thousand rebels.

Zhao Yuanzhang led the remnant soldiers to flee to the south to Julu, where they joined Wu Moke's troops from the Yan army who had come to meet him.

At this time, Fu Jinchuan, who had just pacified most of Hebei, finally received the news of Li Zhaode's defeat.

"Li Zhaode wronged the country!"

In the big tent, Anyuan Hou Qiuming slapped the letter on the big case with a livid face, furious!

Although Fu Jinchuan was also furious, his brows were slightly wrinkled and his face remained unchanged.

As the veritable No.1 general of the Jin Dynasty today, he could see that after Li Zhaode's defeat, there was almost no obstacle for the rebel army to take Heyang.

In other words, the rebels have already obtained the springboard to attack Shangjing.

"Uncle, for the current plan, the only way is to go south quickly. I intend to lead ten thousand riders first, and uncle can lead the army behind."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ming hastily refused: "No, my nephew is now the marshal, and I will lead the army by myself, and I will lead the cavalry first."

The two argued for a long time, and in the end it was the Generalissimo of the Hebei War, the governor of Fu Jinchuan, who gave the order to persuade Qiu Ming.

Fu Jinchuan mobilized [-] cavalry troops and marched quickly. It took only five days to lead the army to Julu.

Wu Moke didn't expect that Fu Jinchuan would come so quickly, he was caught off guard in a haste, the officers and soldiers won a big victory, and over ten thousand prisoners were beheaded.

Then the siege of the giant deer was solved.

Wu Moke could only lead hundreds of remnants to flee south in a hurry.

Fu Jinchuan led his army all the way to Heyang. At this time, the 20 bandits and captives had completed the encirclement of Heyang, and built corridors and camps to prevent Fu Jinchuan's surprise attack.

Fu Jinchuan did not find a fighter, and half of the thieves were from the northern army, and there was no shortage of cavalry. There was no chance whether it was cutting off the food road or making a surprise attack from behind.

Can only temporarily retreat for repairs.

This temporary retreat was misunderstood by the northern cavalry as a fear of war, and Prince Deming led [-] elite troops in pursuit.

The officers and soldiers fought back and won.The northern cavalry army was defeated in the first battle, and the officers and soldiers pursued for dozens of miles, beheading two thousand ranks.

Back again, no one dared to chase.

Walking to Baima, he was catching up with the imperial envoy and ordered Fu Jinchuan to return to Beijing.

So Fu Jinchuan crossed the river from Baima and hurried all the way back to Shangjing.

It was only after entering the city that Zhao Yuantan was seriously ill and could no longer get up.
