Ganye is embedded in the east of the river, the west leans on the Yanhang Mountain of the oblique line, the east is cut off by the Wang River, the south is open, crosses the Shanghai River, is the Central Plains, the Niufu Mountain with a radius of 100 miles, there are only a few few roads. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info look around the entire area, except for the area of Qingdeok, there is no large area of cities that can be used as a rear base. In the past, when troops were used here, they also regarded Qingde as a transportation base camp and strategic support, and once they considered that the war would be deadlocked, they had to think in advance about whether to open a plank road to transport grain and grass, or to unblock the road first.

It is precisely for this reason that Qin Gang's think tank saw that Qin Fen could not fully occupy Hedong, and was decisive and decisive, which was quite wise.

But it's not the slightest risk.

After all, Qingde was not prepared for the corresponding supplies, let alone mobilized all the important ministers who needed it; Therefore, in addition to the Hu Jing road, the soldiers and horses sent from Baishan Mountain on the other road, if they could not win a single blow, they could no longer count on supplies from the rear. Baishan Mountain is on the edge of the county, which belongs to the border army, and only by dispatching a strong border army can Qintai rest assured.

Hu Jing is a very old general, the dispatch is very good, he led more than 20,000 men and horses out of the Chengkou, crossed the white dolphin crossing, then divided the men and horses, went around and went straight to Wujian County, don't live Sha Tongtian's hands and feet.

Four days later, more than 100 cavalry forcibly occupied a town and fought with Sha Tongtian, who immediately understood the gap between the two sides and collapsed in confusion.

Sha Tongtian had no choice but to lead his descendants to flee with a cold heart.

He didn't mean to abandon the alliance and escape, but he was pinned in an instant, fell into the first target to be hit, and was forced to flee to the mountains, and the descendants also fell apart at the same time.

Hu Jing divided the men and horses into three ways to advance, not according to the steps of the long moon, he attracted the main force of the other party, and let the men and horses from the back of the wild mountains threaten Yeya, because, he had to consider the possibility of his lone army going deep, Hedong, has become the world of all kinds of bandits, where he goes, where he has to fight, if it is not a three-way advance, the long advance route will always be exposed, those rebel forces that see themselves and collapse, but do not collapse, will cut off their own supply lines when they encounter strong resistance, and impact themselves from behind.

In view of the results he achieved, Qin Tai agreed, but he very stupidly went to the opposite side, asking him to assist the local government as soon as possible, carry out the purge, provide the rear conditions for the Tunshan army to attack, and create conditions for the preparation of grain and grass in the local area.

As a result, Hu Jing's progress was slowed down, and all parts of the country were disturbed by Shatongtian, and the local officials did not want to pull some troops and lied about the seriousness of the enemy's situation, so that his 25,000 men had to be transferred by the local authorities to guard some situations that had to be defended.

The soldiers were divided into three routes, stationed in the remedial line, and the lack of troops was already insufficient, and then the officials who shouted for help from all over the country reported a big and small incident twice in three days, and every big bandit suppressed the big bandits, and every small bandit suppressed the small bandits.

The commander of the army, Bo, wrote a letter to his friends in the capital, mentioning Hu Jing's worries about this: "In the past, when troops were dispatched, all local officials cooperated, and we had to rely on the local area, and if we did not defeat the enemy's main force first, the troops would be dispersed.

Indeed, Fan Yinghua, who goes by the pseudonym Fan Yinghao, adopted the decision of a few people to go against the mainstream, suggesting that they gather warlike troops everywhere, recruit Ding Zhuang, and then attack south, gather people to attack his main force, and deter the counties from the decision.

After formulating such a strategy, the rebels retreated one after another, intending to confuse the enemy and give the illusion of defeat.

Noya's deliberate "rout" is particularly real due to the clutter of the ranks.

Hu Jing felt that the thieves were going to shrink and break through at first, and then paid attention to these strange tactics of rout in front, but retreating and defending in the back, and defending and retreating.

But he did not imagine the enemy's intentions too sensitively, but felt that the enemy was fighting and retreating, delaying time. For this reason, he took the entire Chinese army and horses as the vanguard, violated the strategy of "cooperating with the local authorities to clear up the bandits, and not disappointing the people of the world", and accelerated the advance with the blind command that ran counter to the advance strategy, intending to break the enemy's confidence with a sudden and accelerated advance; He also brought the wings as close together as possible behind him to protect them.

After arranging it like this, he asked his staff to write a letter about the situation he had encountered and send it to Changyue to show those ministers.

In February, Beizhou was suddenly hit by the anomaly of the nomads, and on the battlefield of Hedong, behind a series of retreat illusions, Fan Yinghua set out to prepare enough strength, unprecedentedly strong, and because of the unprecedented number of troops gathered, she decided to eliminate her brother and fully establish her prestige in the army, and Ling Du Mi led a part of the officers and soldiers to practice, and Ling Ji Kang led the big and small bandits to surrender to Cheng.

At the same time, she also recruited 480 cavalry to form a team of Xiaoguo, led by Liu Qi, who had high hopes for her.

Actually, it can't be counted as four hundred and eighty, because there are more than thirty mules and a dozen donkeys wrapped in it, and then there. More than 100 ploughing cattle were also added.

Liu Qi was very satisfied with the joining of the ploughing cattle.

The scheduled war was fought in a narrow mountainous area, and the ability of ploughing cattle to climb up and down the slopes and the ability to charge into battle greatly exceeded the docile mules, stubborn donkeys and untrained war horses, and he, the general identified by Qin Fen, has not been able to bring soldiers and train soldiers, and now he has brought a team of people to engage in training, pretending, and running in the woods outside the city, but he has to be satisfied.

In the past ten days, the soldiers have not been trained to be anything, but the birds have been trained to be like generals.

He has Tang Kai on the left and Zhao Guo on the right, and often talks left and right with his body, pulls a horsewhip and points at him, beats the officer cordially, and occasionally learns from the third uncle, laughing, and is very majestic.

When people from all walks of life drove to the designated place, he also received supervision. But before leaving, he felt that it was better to meet Qin Fen and Xu Xiaoyan.

Because he was not used to Qin Fen, he remembered Xu Xiaoyan's warning to himself, this paragraph, he rarely went to see Qin Fen, on the other hand, he was afraid that he was disgusting his king, and after saying a simple goodbye to Xu Xiaoyan, before leaving, how could he say goodbye, so he took Tang Kai and Zhao Guo and ran to the so-called palace.

When he arrived, he handed the reins of the horse to Tang Kai to look at, walked straight to the soldier and handed over the sign, and reported to himself: "The general of the chariot and cavalry, Liu Feiniao, asks to see." ”

After waiting for a while, Qin Fen sent someone to send a message to let him in.

He straightened his waist, held the sword, strode in, walked to the small yellow gate to untie the sword, saw Qin Fen, immediately bowed to the ground, and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live." ”

Song Tao's beard beside the emperor has been trimmed recently, but out of worry, he looks five or six years older than before. He looked at Liu Qi and then at Qin Fen, then retreated, walked to Liu Qi, stopped for a moment, and gently kicked Liu Qi's feet.

Liu Qi had never talked to him before, and it was very strange to see him probing himself with his feet like this, thinking that he would let him wait to see him later, and if he had something to say to himself, he agreed in his heart.

"Come on! Come! Qin Fen was also very polite, he was going to fight, so he kept waving to Liu Qi, until Liu Qi climbed up to him, sat down crookedly, and said excitedly, "I heard that they have a strong cavalry, handed over to you to command, I want to know what the situation is, you tell me!" ”

Powerful cavalry, more than four hundred, plus mules, donkeys, and ploughing oxen, more like a convoy.

The bird was very annoyed, and sighed a few times before complaining, "What is an iron horseman, there are mules and donkeys in it, and there is no money for bows and arrows, so I have to let them buy some leftovers and teach them how to make bows and arrows." As a result, after a few days of busy work, many people broke the toe of their shoes, and rags came to tighten the bowstring, and decently, crookedly shot fifty or sixty paces, and decently, that is, bent the long log. And archery, the recruits are not as good as the emperor. The most excessive thing is that a few guys who carry their own weapons and think they can ride horses and shoot arrows want to fight me alone every day and live by humiliating me. ”

"Lonely since childhood, he listened to the teachings of the previous kings, and he was skilled in bowing and horses. Naturally, they can't compare to me, how can they be 'still incomparable'? Qin Fen was very unhappy, but then said, "It's you, if someone else, if I heard such words, why would I cut off his head." ”

This special wooing did not make Liu Qi feel affectionate, but reminded him of Xu Xiaoyan's words, thinking, the emperor is so sensitive, and he has a lot of indiscretions, maybe he really offended him, provoked him deep in his heart, and wanted to kill himself, well, it is possible, it is absolutely possible.

Thinking of this, he didn't feel any chills, but thought with contempt: If you are a heroic man who looks down on all directions, and can't tolerate me because you are too competitive, you may be a tyrant, but you still feel like a person, but you are sensitive, cowardly, and when you hear about the mutiny, you are so frightened that you almost pee your pants, and you still can't tolerate anything, and you show off yourself, what is not that kind of dirty villain?

Thinking of the scene of Lu Chuan's murder again, Liu Qi felt for no reason that the other party had buried the reason for killing him, because at that time, he was like an emperor, and after a few years, the war subsided, this narrow-minded kid was likely to forget that he was protecting him at that time, but felt humiliated, in order to forget this, maybe he would ......

Because he thought too much, he was a little stunned, as if he was moved.

Qin Fen was quite satisfied with his performance, and appeased him with a lot of kind words, and promised: "Our monarchs and ministers have shared hardships, and we should share wealth and prosperity in the future!" ”

Finally went out.

Liu Qi shook his head, blaming himself for being more and more unable to trust Qin Fen now, which made the two face and heart incompatible, which was not a good thing.

In the presence of foreign enemies, the monarchs and ministers are only superficially harmonious, which is not a taboo before the war.

Song Tao had been waiting for a long time next to him, and as soon as he saw Liu Qi, he beckoned and shouted, "Little general!" ”

Liu Qi also called the national chaos, anyway, he forgot about him kicking himself to remind him, looked up blankly, realized that it was him, walked up to him and saluted, and said, "It turned out to be Lord Song." ”

"Borrow a step to speak." Song Tao made an invitation as he spoke, asking him to follow him.

The two sides quickly walked to a place where there was no one, Song Tao swallowed, and whispered: "I am now a handful of years, I think that day, I did have a lot of selfishness, but I also want to make our Dajing Kangguo prosperous and prosperous, and the monarch can be in power, but now I regret it, and it is too late." Everyone around here, all eyeing each other, and only the little general is His Majesty's person, since you have soldiers in your hands, you can open the flag, you can't win, you must preserve your strength, protect yourself, return to the army immediately, and protect Your Majesty's safety. Speaking of this, he was already in tears, choked up and said: "It is difficult for me to support it any longer, I am in a trance every day, I don't know where I am, if there is any misfortune, I hope the general can promise the old man: don't care about anything, return to Yeya as soon as possible, and protect Your Majesty." ”

If it was before, Liu Qiyi's definition is undeniable.

But now, he looked at Song Tao in front of him in a little daze, and couldn't say anything, because, because these words, this promise, seemed too difficult to bear. Song Tao suddenly lifted his front robe, fell to his knees on the ground, and his whole body fell suddenly, giving people a feeling of despair.

How should Liu Qi answer, tell him, no, when you get to the battlefield, the monarch and the minister have to be single-minded, I said for the king, run back when the situation is not good, and then take him Qin Fen to run, what does it mean to the entire army? ! If before, I thought that others were the bane of troubled times, but today, Fan Yinghua doesn't seem to be so bad, her father, even if it is not thousands, is still standing on the same line with the emperor at the moment, and there are so many soldiers, how can I mess up for it, but then again, people let you see that the situation is not good, come back to protect the emperor, you say no, do you think it is appropriate, so he said in an extremely resolute tone, "This battle will be won, it will be won!" With that, he strode out.

The sky is yellow, the whole child is swirling with a muddy faint air, on both sides of the road, peach and pear are bred, there are no green leaves and glory to arch, it is indeed not yet from the winter depression.

A young girl bowed her head and came along the slope accompanied by two so-called palace maids.

Probably because her afterglow was attracted by Liu Qi's sleeves, legs, and longevity, and her bearing at this time, so she glanced at it with a smile when she wiped her body.

But at first glance, her face suddenly turned pale, panting like a twitch, and one hand was already trembling and pointing at Liu Qi's back, unable to spit out half a word.

The girl who was waiting on the side hurriedly shouted, but heard two words come out of her mouth: "Is it him?!" ”

Liu Qi walked out of the palace, assembled the team, and delayed for a while, before taking his motley cavalry away. Naturally, he didn't know that when the smoke and dust were still rolling, a group of soldiers had arrived at the gate where he was going out of the city, and the man surnamed Su Huang at the head asked the city gate officials what to do, hating and looking at it.

Hu Jing's march is getting faster and faster, from crossing the river on the 17th day of the first month, and then to the defeat of Shatongtian on February 2, abandoning the land and fleeing, the army has attacked more than 10 counties, and the enemy has broken six or seven attacks beautifully, this kind of rapid and sharp attack has shocked the Ganyan army and people.

Fan Yinghua's move is not fast, but it is still slow.

In the front, she only captured two choke points, and the momentum of the development of the rear to the county was also curbed by the big clans of the county.

However, she didn't waste any more effort. Towards the front, although only two earthen villages were occupied to guard the main road, these earthen villages were able to block the convergence of the three armies of Hu Jing before it happened. In the rear, there is a foothold in the county. If this battle is won, and she has extensive contacts before, she will be able to take advantage of the victory to advance her forces to Huguan, and then free up her hands to control the county, cover the Ganyan Plain, and then attack Fenjun, Xihe, and Zejun, and then approach Hedong and Qingde.
