April 26, Ha Chuan.

The left Sima Yuan An of the alliance, Xiao Yi of the military staff of the record officer, and Li Mengwei of the military staff of Gong Cao, led the right army of Xiao cavalry led by Feng Hong and Li Yi, the right army of the Xi nationality led by A Huichuan and Yuan Qianzhi, and the guards of the five regiments led by the general Xue Wanche of Yingyanglang, nearly more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers, rushed to the Hui River.

This is the vanguard of the rear army, after this army arrives in Huichuan, Li Hun will follow up with more than 100,000 horses and horses of the rear army.

Li Hun was anxious to advance eastward, which is understandable, this is essentially to put pressure on Li Fengyun, forcing Li Fengyun to speed up the attack, have to enter the hinterland of Pyongyang as soon as possible, and have to do all his best to attack Pyongyang to achieve the desired goal, so that no matter whether the Anton army and all kinds of controls suffered heavy losses, the battle situation is in favor of Middle-earth, and Li Hun and the king of Qi can use the power of Anton to build meritorious deeds and win benefits.

The king of Qi was also anxious to move eastward, when he learned from Li Zixiong that Li Fengyun had captured the domestic city and had crossed the Yalu water, he was particularly anxious and wanted to leave immediately, but Li Zixiong did not agree, and rushed to Pyongyang from the middle road, the life was unfamiliar, and the road was difficult and dangerous, it can be described as frightening step by step, there were many crises, and there was a possibility of an accident if he was careless, so the connection between the front, middle and rear armies was very important, and it was necessary to support each other and respond to each other, so that they could advance and retreat without worry. If Li Hun and the rear army did not reach Haochuan, the main force of the Chinese army could not enter the domestic city eastward.

King Qi was worried, but fortunately, Li Hun was "empathetic" and did not wait for King Qi to "look and see", and the vanguard of the rear army came unexpectedly, which just solved the urgent need of King Qi.

After Li Zixiong consulted with the commander-in-chief of the army, he immediately ordered that the right army of the Xiao cavalry stay in Huichuan, and the hussar army, the Japanese army, the feather cavalry army and the right army of the Xi nationality drove to the domestic city overnight.

After the order was issued, Ying Yanglang found Xue Wanche to Li Zixiong and asked to march east with the main force, "Although there are only five regiments and a thousand guards, at the moment of fierce battle, when the five regiments are killed, they may be able to decide the victory." ”

Li Zixiong ignored him, did not agree, and ordered him to immediately lead the army back to Buyeo City.

Xue Wanche immediately put on a sneering face, pestering Li Zixiong with a "dead face", and even moved out of his father Xue Shixiong.

Li Zixiong and Xue Shixiong are both from Guanlong and both are commanders of the Weifu, but Li Zixiong is the backbone of the Longxi lineage, and he is the cronies of the old handsome Yang Su, and has a close relationship with the Heluo line, and Xue Shixiong is the son of a wealthy family in Hedong, and is the backbone of the Hedong family.

Li Min stood beside his father, and saw that Xue Wanche, a kid, didn't know what to do, pestered endlessly, and looked like he would not give up until he reached his goal, so he scolded, "You are the Eagle Yang Lang General who garrisoned Fuyu City, but you left your post without permission and led the army to leave the garrison without authorization, and the consequences are too serious." Although there is an anton garrison over there to take over your defense, this does not reduce your responsibility, once it is investigated, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, so it is better for you to return to Buyeo City immediately, for the sake of Wuyin Gong's face, my family will turn a blind eye, and there is no such thing. ”

Xue Wanche exclaimed, "You have misunderstood. A certain would never dare to leave his post without permission, and a certain person would not leave Fuyu City until he received an order from Li Hun, the deputy capital of Anton, otherwise he would not dare to leave the ground without permission. ”

Li Min sneered, "You brought disaster upon yourself, who did you blame?" ”

As soon as Li Min heard it, he knew that it was Xue Wanche himself who caused the trouble. With Li Hun's current situation, it is absolutely impossible to provoke Xue Shixiong, let alone use Xue Wanche to set a trap on Xue Shixiong, so the only possibility is that Xue Wanche himself wants to participate in the Eastern Crusade and wants to grab credit on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, and Li Hun will plan it, since you are going by yourself, then why don't I push the boat down the river, just use you to see if I can pull your father to the boat of King Qi, take a step back and say, even if you can't pull it, you can also block the Holy Lord and make Xue Shixiong feel congested.

Li Zixiong saw through it at a glance, he had no intention of making enemies for himself and Anton, so he ordered Xue Wanche to return to Fuyu City immediately, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Xue Wanche is not an impulsive teenager, how can he bear the consequences? Besides, since he is determined to go to the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade to grab credit, and his father also clearly hints and supports him in the letter, making it clear that he wants to give himself a "bottom line", what are you afraid of? It's just that you have to be cautious in everything, if you handle things well, don't trouble your father, and don't need your father to come forward to deal with the aftermath, wouldn't you be able to better prove your ability?

But Li Zixiong is obviously more difficult to deal with than Li Hun, so Xue Wanche weighed it again and again, and had to reveal some "details", otherwise he would not be able to pass Li Zixiong's level at all.

April 26, the city of the country.

Han Shige led the Tiger Army, the Fengyun Army and the Leopard Cavalry Army to march rapidly for several days, and finally arrived at the domestic city as quickly as possible.

On the way, they received a letter from Li Fengyun, knowing that the domestic city had been taken, and the horse army had crossed the river to the east, so they were more anxious and ran faster. There is no way, there is a serious shortage of grain and grass, and staying in the poor and remote areas for a long time will not help alleviate the crisis.

Gao Hu, the head of the dragoons, went out of the city to greet him.

After a little greeting, Han Shige immediately asked, "Is there any news about the deputy capital protector and the selection of the front army?" ”

"There is good news." Gao Hu said with a smile, "On the afternoon of April 23, the Xuanfeng Army captured Hamgyong City, an important town in the north on the east bank of Yalu Water. Extrapolating from the distance, today's Xuanfeng army should arrive at Yanshui and start attacking Longlin City downstream of Yanshui. ”

Han Shige was pleasantly surprised, and the commanders of the armies around him, such as Guo Ming, Xu Shisan, Zhong Xin, Cao Kun, Xun Changzi, and Niu Jinda, were also smiling.

"Can there be any food and grass?" Han Shige then asked, "In order to speed up the progress of the journey, our army is light and simple, and the grain and grass brought are very small, and it needs to be replenished urgently. ”

Gao Hu hesitated slightly, and Han Shige immediately said, "If it is difficult to supply here, our army can immediately cross the river and march eastward, and rush to Hamgyong City." ”

"No." Gao Hu hurriedly dissuaded, "Since you left Fuyu, you have marched more than 100 miles every day, and you are already sleepy and tired, and you urgently need to rest. A certain suggestion is that you temporarily stay in the inner city, replenish food and grass while recovering your strength, and at the same time prepare to cross the river, and only wait to meet with the follow-up army, you can cross the river and march east. ”

Han Shige comprehended, "You want to cross the river with the dragoon army first?" ”

"The Xuanfeng army has reached Jiangnan Mountain, and if the dragoon army doesn't catch up, it will fall behind." Gao Hu made a pun, reminding Han Shige that his dragoon army was a member of the selection front, and if it weren't for waiting for the main force of the Chinese army, the dragoon would have crossed the Yalu water long ago.

Han Shige smiled slightly, exchanged glances with the commanders of the armies around him, and said without thinking, "Good intentions, since the deputy capital protector has handed over the important task of garrisoning the inner city to the dragoons, you have to fulfill your duties, how can you cross the river without permission?" ”

Then he raised his whip and pointed at the commanders of the armies around him, and asked in a loud voice, "Are the armies tired, tired, and unsustainable?" ”

The generals denied it.

Han Shige waved his horsewhip vigorously, and his voice was fierce, "Do the armies still have the strength to cross the river and march east?" ”

The generals agreed with a bang.

"Pass on a certain order, camp on the riverside tonight, and cross the river to the east tomorrow!"

The generals took the order with a bang, then turned their horses' heads and flew away.

Gao Hu smiled bitterly, "Ming Gong, Hamgyong City has become a ruin, if you cross the river and march east immediately, not only will the soldiers not be able to rest, but also the grain and grass will not be replenished, even if you try your best to catch up with the Xuan Feng army, you will not be able to fight, but will become a burden, once there is an accident, will it not ruin the reputation of Ming Gong I?" ”

"Does so-and-so still have a name?" Han Shige unceremoniously pointed at Gao Hu's nose and scolded, "Now that I am messing around with you horse thieves and rogues all day long, my reputation has long been lost, where is there any heroic name?" If a certain wants to make a comeback, the only way is to capture Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo, and build a great martial arts, so if a certain wants to cross the river, he will cross the river immediately, and rush to Jiangnan Mountain day and night to meet and select the front army. As for your ......," Han Shige stabbed Gao Hu in the chest with a horsewhip in his hand very arrogantly, "Put away your dirty thoughts and give someone an honest stay in the inner city." The city of Pyongyang is very large, and it is far from a day's work to take Pyongyang, so this battle still has to be fought, and you don't have to worry about not having a fight, let alone worrying that you don't have a chance to plunder, and when you enter Pyongyang in the future, you will know that there are still mountains of gold and silver in this world that you can't finish moving. ”

Although Gao Hu is angry, his status is very different from Han Shige, and there is no comparison between him as the chief manager and Han Shige, so he can only swallow his anger with a smiling face, and he can only promise again and again.

Han Shige had a request for Gao Hu, but it was also in moderation, and the conversation changed, "Since Hamgyong City has become a ruin, and there is no way to get grain and grass supplements, and a certain tomorrow will lead the army to cross the river to the east, and it is in urgent need of grain and grass supplements, then I have to trouble you, and I also ask Mr. Gao to support and help." ”

Gao Hu was also slippery, and while agreeing repeatedly, he observed his words and looks, and saw that Han Shige's face was a little soothing, so he said quietly, "Ming Gong, the selection of fronts is all horse army, the degree is very fast, in a few days, I am afraid that I have crossed Jiangnan Mountain, and the soldiers are in the Sashui River." The journey to Sashui is long, at least seven or eight hundred miles, not only the road is difficult and dangerous, but also goes deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo. Ming Gong is not familiar with the place, the slightest carelessness may encounter accidents, if there is a horse army as a scout, the front to open the way, two wings of detectives, the risk is greatly reduced. ”

This sentence entered Han Shige's ears and had an immediate effect.

Gao Hu is right, the army goes deep into the hinterland of the enemy country to fight, and the terrain is still a steep place, which is equivalent to the deaf and blind, the danger can be imagined, but if there is a horse army as a scout, it will be different, especially Gao Hu's dragoon army, most of its commanders are from the horse thieves and rogues in the Song Desert area, covering all races in the northeast Xinjiang, and it is likely that even the Ta people, Buyeo people, and Goguryeo people have them, and these people may lack some in the war, but if it comes to robbing houses and houses, killing people and goods, that one is an expert, It is more than enough to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy country as a scout, and it can completely escort the main army.

Han Shige made a decisive decision, as for whether he denied himself and slapped himself in the face, it was not a question at all.

"The garrison of the domestic city will be arranged." Han Shige stretched out his hand and patted Gao Hu's shoulder, barely squeezing out a smile on his face, "Tomorrow morning, the dragoon army will cross the river first, and the army will follow. ”

Gao Hu was overjoyed and bowed down to promise.
