lady, please calm down

On October 24th, at the Chenqiaoyi meeting in the northeast of Tokyo City, the King of Chu came unexpectedly and finally established the backbone for the Qinwang righteous troops from all walks of life.

The 58th Route Volunteer Division was re-divided into four divisions, and the Huaibei Army and the Western Army were combined into the Central Army.

The remnants of Feng Shuangyuan and Zhe Yanwen formed an 8,000-man cavalry army, with Zhe Yanwen and Zhang Shuye as commanders and deputy commanders. They circled from the north bank of the Yellow River to the west of Beijing and continued to harass the Jin Xia Army on the grain road from Luoyang to Tokyo.

The thirteen groups of volunteers who came to Qinwang with only a small number of people and weak fighting power were assigned to Jia Zun, the prefect of Zezhou, and ordered to guide and organize the volunteers from various places who were still coming in more peripheral places to avoid The latter plunged into the front line of the Jinxia army.

The Iron Dan Division is responsible for fighting with the Jinxia Army's outposts and security forces. They do not seek to kill a large number of enemies, but they must reduce the scope of activities of the Jinxia Army's outposts.

Wang Bing, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan, and Zhao Mengguang, the commander-in-chief of the Wu'an army, took over the task of escorting military supplies from the south to the north.

Nowadays, after several years of development, Hebei Road has become the granary second only to Huaibei in the hands of the King of Chu.

Wang and Zhao, one of them led his troops to the south to receive grain from Huaibei at Tongxu and Qixian lines, and the other went north across the Yellow River to receive grain from Hebei at Liyang and Baima lines.

Speaking of which, the King of Chu was able to quickly gain the support of everyone. Firstly, it was because of the prestige he had accumulated in Qi State. Secondly, it was because of the food and grass.
Most of the volunteers from all walks of life set out in a hurry and could not bring much luggage and food.

Now, after more than ten days of confrontation with Jin Xia's army under the city, the little food he brought with him has long been exhausted.

Five or six days ago, many volunteer armies had run out of food. Some generals were able to borrow a little from friendly forces through personal connections, while others managed to survive by fishing.

There was even a farce in which volunteers competed with each other for food.

The King of Chu publicly assured everyone at the Chenqiaoyi meeting, "If I have a handful of millet in Huaibei, I will share a pot of porridge with you." '.

While the generals felt relieved, they were also moved beyond words.

There are more than 300,000 people outside Tokyo!

The amount of food and grass that needs to be supplied every day is an astronomical figure!
Compared with Liu Shuping, who wanted to annex friendly forces from the beginning, the King of Chu's plan was too ambitious. How could He De, surnamed Liu, compare with the King of Chu.

Since October 24th, the volunteers from all walks of life, who were as chaotic as headless flies, gradually became orderly.

Jia Zun, the prefect of Zezhou, set up volunteer reception centers in Xucheng, Changyuan, Dongming and other cities, and stopped the volunteers coming from the east and north directions in various counties. After reorganizing the organization, they were sent to Chenqiaoyi camp one after another. Make arrangements for each.

The Second Regiment of the Tiedan Guards went through seventy battles in just three days and eliminated a large number of Jinxia outposts and patrol teams.

So on October 28, Wanyan Mouyan strengthened the original patrol team of more than ten people to more than a hundred people.

This will inevitably affect the detection frequency and coverage area.

On the 27th, the cavalry led by Zhe Yanwen and Zhang Shuye had reached Zheng County, a hundred and fifty miles west of Beijing.

Feng Shuangyuan in this team was lost in Luoyang at the beginning of the month, and was punished by Liu Shuping on an excuse afterwards. If not for the arrival of the King of Chu, he only had a few thousand soldiers. Not only would his surname be Liu, but it would have been very difficult for him to survive.

Furthermore, the Jinxia army had seized his base, and he was eager to make achievements in order to make up for the loss of the city, so he was full of fighting spirit.

As for Zhe Yanwen, not to mention his father and second brother have been stained with blood on the battlefield. He and Jin Xia not only have national hatred, but also family hatred!

However, the first attack by this hateful army on the Jinxia grain team at noon on the 28th did not go well.

After fighting for half an hour, although nearly a thousand people of the rebel general Qu Yixian were killed, there were also hundreds of casualties on our own side. The most important thing was that they failed to complete the task of burning food, so the Xixia army rushed over.

Zhe Yanwen had no choice but to retreat with his troops.

In the next two days, Zhe Yanwen led his troops to wander between Xingyang and Xushui, but could not find a fighter plane.

Wanyan Mouyan naturally also knew the importance of this grain road between Luoyang and Tokyo. After being harassed twice by the Qi army, he naturally strengthened the defense along the way.

The deputy general Wan Yanlan was even sent as a special escort.

On October 30, seeing that he could not complete the task assigned by King Chu, Zhe Yanwen was so anxious that he took the initiative to ask Zhang Shuye for his opinion.

Zhang Shuye had never had any interaction with the King of Chu, but this time he was appointed by the latter to the important position of deputy commander of the First Army.

He was a little confused. He was an old county magistrate, so he was not worthy of the King of Chu's attention.

Furthermore, in this team composed of the remnant army of the Zhe family and the remnant army of Luoyang, he only had a few hundred Chengwu County soldiers. In an army that has always been about fists and defecation, his commander-in-chief is really not worthy of his name.

Therefore, he has not taken the initiative to express his opinions for many days.

It wasn't until Zhe Yanwen took the initiative to ask this time that Zhang Shuye pondered for a moment before saying, "General Zhe, now the Jinxia army's food routes are heavily defended. If you want to gain something, our military supplies will be unexpected!"

"How to take things by surprise?"

"It's four hundred miles from Luoyang to Tokyo. Where does the general think the Jinxia Army is most heavily defended?"

Zhang Shuye asked back, and Zheyanwen blurted out: "Of course, the closer we are to Tokyo, the tighter our defenses will be!"

Today, outside Tokyo, the Jinxia and Qi armies are intertwined, each with heavy troops. The closer to Tokyo, the higher the possibility of an attack on the grain road.

vice versa.

After Zhe Yanwen said this, he also reacted and couldn't help but said: "Zhixian Zhang, are you saying that our army will continue to advance westward? The closer we get to Luoyang, the weaker the defense will be?"

Zhang Shuye said, "Since we are going to be close to Luoyang, does General Zhe dare to go to Beicang, Luoyang and take a look?"

Zhe Yanwen was startled, then punched his palm, "Zhang Chengzhi, let's go take a look!"

On the night of October 30th, Zheyan Wenbu took advantage of the night to cross the Yellow River north. There were almost no Jin Xia troops north of the Yellow River.

After marching for two days, we crossed the Yellow River from Baipo to the south.
Although Zhang Shuye's plan seemed risky, it was intended to catch Jin Xiajun's flaws.

Since the beginning of September, the Jin Xia army has been marching eastward, fighting in more than ten battles, large and small, without a single defeat, and has long since ignored the Qi army.

Otherwise, they would not have refused to retreat and still wanted to attack the city when all the Qinwang armies gathered in Tokyo.

The Jinxia Army has more than 200,000 soldiers, but the siege of Tokyo, which is fifty miles in circumference, still makes the huge force stretched thin, and there are another 400 miles of grain roads that need to be defended.
Luoyang city defense, as well as the guard work of the north and south warehouses outside the city, were almost entirely responsible for the Luoyang surrender army. Only 3,000 Xixia troops were stationed in the city to intimidate.

The night of the second day of November.

Sun Bang, Beicang, Luoyang, and Lieutenant Li Yingyiyan of the Xixia Qisheng Military Academy were sitting across from each other for a drink.

Sun Bang was extremely respectful. 'Li' was the surname of Xixia. Sun Bang had already inquired about it. Even though Li Yiyan was just a junior high school student, he was a serious member of the Xixia royal family.

It is ready-made for hugging thick legs.

Since the sixth day of September, when Sun Bang, Lu Yingxian, Liang Jizu and others cooperated with Qu Yixian to seize the door and surrender to the enemy, Sun Bang began to worry about his future.

Just like Naqu Yixian, on the day he surrendered, he was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Western Beijing Festival by Ren Dejing.

Lu Yingxian was even promised to be the new Prime Minister. Compared with this, Sun Bang's new transfer envoy was not so attractive.

Li Eyiyan did not understand Sun Bang's indirect hints, so he had to bluntly express his desire to seek an official position.

Li Yiyan didn't know whether he was drunk and talking after eating a few cups of horse urine, or he was just an unreliable big talker. He opened his mouth and said: "The country of Qi has a territory of four thousand miles, and there are not many official titles! When our army takes it, If we establish a new dynasty in Tokyo, I will write to the emperor and appoint you as the governor of Huaibei! They say that Huaibei is rich, so I am treating you badly, right?"

After so many experiences, I have become a low-ranking official.

But Sun Bang can do the Huaibei strategy!

Sun Bang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to add some wine to Li Yin Yiyan, and reciprocated the favor by saying, "If Xiao Ke becomes the manager of Huaibei, he will do his best to serve our emperor and general!"

The 'my emperor' here has become the Emperor of Xixia.

Huaibei was prosperous, and Sun Bang felt that he could not monopolize the benefits, so he had to spend at least half of his money to honor Li Yiyan.

Just now, I still didn't understand Sun Bang's excuse for asking for an official position, but at this moment, Li Yiyan smiled knowingly and said: "The future is in the future, but right now."

Sun Bang was well prepared, and immediately clapped his hands, and more than ten servants carrying huge wooden boxes walked in outside.

Look at the weight, it's definitely not light. Although Luoyang is not as good as Tokyo, there are many rich households in the city. This time, thanks to Tokyo's change of ownership, Sun Bang has a new master. With only the power of a fox and a tiger, he swindled more than a million taels of wealth from the city.

At this point, he was still a little dissatisfied.

It is said that Lu Yingxian plundered more than three million in less than a month.

Li Yiyan didn't have the dignity like the Han people, so he opened the wooden box on the spot and checked the condition of the goods in the box.

After a while, Li Yiyan clapped his hands with satisfaction, and Sun Bang was convinced. He turned to a healthy servant and said, "Bring the people in."

Immediately, several beautiful women in cool clothes were ushered in.

Some people trembled with fear when they saw the rough-looking Li Yiyan.

Some girls still had bruises and bruises on their skin under their light clothes. It seemed that these girls had been 'trained' before coming.

Li Yiyan became more and more satisfied and laughed.

Sun Bang waved, led Jian Pu back out, and closed the door with a wink.

As soon as the door closed, a woman probably broke down and let out a low and suppressed sob.

However, this did not affect Sun Bang's good mood at all. After leaving Li Yiyan's yard, he stood in the bleak night wind with his hands behind his back, looking up at the moonless starry sky.

'Hu~'

Sun Bang let out a long breath. His heart was full of pride.

Haha, Huaibei History. Not only is it the home of the sycophants, but it also represents the wealth of a country that is incredibly wealthy!
Sun Bang, who was immersed in the joy of achieving enlightenment, suddenly saw a fire in the night in the distance.

Sun Bang couldn't help but be surprised. There was a large amount of grain stored in Beicang. There were hundreds of warehouses. Open fires were strictly prohibited in the grain storage area!

Who is so bold as to set fire to the warehouse area?

If Beicang fails, his Huaibei strategy will be ruined!

Sun Bang led Jian Pu and ran towards the fire, but he could only run less than a hundred steps when he suddenly heard the shouts of killing from all directions in Beicang.

On the second day of November, it is midnight.

Zhe Yanwen made a surprise attack on Beicang in Luoyang. There were 2,000 Luoyang surrender troops and 500 Xixia troops in the warehouse.

Not long after the fight, Feng Shuangyuan, the former Jingxi Festival commander, announced his family name and shouted, "Han'er will not follow the Hulu!"

After a brief hesitation, this group of old subordinates turned against them and led the Qi army to besiege the 500 Xixia troops in the warehouse.

The Qi army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Moreover, both the Zhejia army and the Luoyang army had a blood feud with the Xixia army, so everyone fought bravely and fought for the lead.

The five hundred Xixia troops could only last less than two quarters of an hour before they were all killed.

Zhe Yanwen killed a Xixia captain and hung his head on his waist. The rest of the Xixia army imitated the example and beheaded all 500 Xixia soldiers to comfort the heroes who died in the Elegy River battle in early September. .

Then, he lit Beicang with fierce fire oil, led his army north, and dived into the night.

This raid was clean and unexpected.

The three thousand Xixia troops in the city never expected that the courageous Qi troops would dare to come to Luoyang for a sneak attack. They were caught off guard. By the time they left the city and rushed to Beicang, Luoyang, fifteen miles away, the fire was already beyond saving.

On the fourth day of November, the captured Sun Bang was sent to Chenqiaoyi Camp.

This battle is the second victory of the Equipment Battalion after the First World War, but its significance is far greater than the former.

After Sun Bang was brought, he was tortured as usual and wanted to be executed. However, the sergeant in charge of the interrogation got an important piece of news from him and quickly reported it to the King of Chu.

"Han Fang did not surrender? Han Fang is not dead?"

Chen Chu looked shocked and said that Luoyang fell when Han Fang went home to visit his relatives, and there was no news about it.

From what Chen Chu thought, he would either die in the rebellion or join the Jin Xia Army.

The reason why he has so little confidence in this old man is because the relationship between the two is not very good. Han Fang is one of the first academicians awarded by the Academy of Liberal Arts. Although this old man secretly enjoys the benefits of Huaibei, he has never been docile.

Either to make a name for himself, or to establish a persona that is not afraid of power, he spent all day staring at the small flaws in Huaibei's governance, making weird comments in newspapers, and even criticized him by name, saying, "The King of Chu doted on Concubine Cai too much." Category.

This was a figure established by Huaibei himself. Huaibei naturally had to be more generous. If Chen Chu hadn't stopped him, Cai Hua would have let him "accidentally die" countless times.

But this time, according to Sun Bangyan, Han Fang not only did not surrender, but instead scolded Lu Yingxian and others. He and his old wife are now imprisoned in Luoyang Prison.

After hearing this, Chen Chu didn't say anything for a long time. It turned out that he and his brothers were not the only ones who were willing to protect Huaibei with their lives.

Touched in his heart, Chen Chu wrote an article that day, expressing his feelings by commending Zhe Yanwen and Zhang Shuye.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, the news of Zhe and Zhang's night attack on Beicang, Luoyang, and the killing of the Xixia royal family Li Yiyan spread throughout the army.

In the past ten days, after winning two battles in a row, the Qi army finally recovered from its low morale.

But at the same time, Wanyan Mouyan and Ren Dejing began to turn their attention from Tokyo City to the suddenly reborn Qin Wangjun outside the city.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, along with the grain transport team, the victory awards awarded by the King of Chu to the armies also spread to Caizhou.

Ayu, who had been staying in the house to recuperate since the birth of her son, burst into tears on the spot when she saw the copied text.

Later, Ayu personally took the official document to the Caizhou Five Days Newspaper Office.

The next day, the eighth day of November.

On the front page of Five Days Talk, the original text published the official document of the King of Chu.

The official document announcing the victory naturally praised Zhe and Zhang at the front, while also not forgetting to emphasize the killing of the Xixia royal family.

But at the end of the official document, the pen suddenly changed:
'The country has reached such a state that we have no choice but to fight to the death for it. Only with this determination can we protect our country and our family.

Our Chinese nation, which has been glorious for four thousand years, will never perish at the hands of a mere Jinlu Xiahu!
The determination to die for the country and the nation will not change even if the sea never dries up, the stone never rots, even if the body is plastered on the wild leather, I am willing to encourage you all!
At this moment, the fate of the country is difficult. I invite tens of millions of Chinese athletes to go to the mountains together. I ask you to be brave. I hope that my descendants will never have to suffer again! '

It clearly informs the people of the world that the country is in crisis at this time, but there is no sense of frustration in the article. There is only a majestic feeling of "a man will die for his country, and he has no complaints" permeated between the lines.

For a time, a heroic wind blew on both sides of the Huaihe River.

On the ninth day of November, the princess called on the women of Huaibei to launch the "Big Reinforcement" campaign, asking women from every household to pick up their needles and threads and sew winter clothes for the men on the front lines who were protecting the country.
It's late autumn and winter is indeed coming soon.

In this battle to defend Tokyo, it seems that the winner has not yet been decided.

"Invite tens of millions of Chinese men to go to Guanshan Mountain thousands of miles together" not only stirred up Huaibei, but also caused quite a shock in Huainan.

The court of the Zhou Dynasty was peaceful, but the people.
On November 11th, shopkeeper Peng, the proprietor of Huainan Huoqiu Wanyuan Trading Company, organized three hundred young men to secretly travel north and then took the initiative to go to Caizhou Military Office, hoping to go north to help the Qi State.

Like a small team, there are so many people crossing north.

Chen Bokang turned a blind eye in Huainan Classics.

On November 12, Lu Yanzhong, the great troll of the Zhou Dynasty, led his 30 disciples and successfully smuggled in for the first time.

Lu Yanzhong, who loves the limelight, is more eye-catching than shopkeeper Peng. After crossing the river, he immediately raised the flag of Zhou Guoyong and shouted the slogan "Han'er family, attack Jinxia together, protect China".

In just a few days, people crossing from Huainan to the north and Huainan people stationed in Huaibei gathered in Jingcong, forming an army of three thousand.

Whether these people can fight is another matter, but this atmosphere stings the nerves of some people.

With Qi and Zhou standing side by side, who is the orthodox of the Han people? (End of chapter)
