Tianping Town, Yacheng, Yunzhou, Yuncheng, Shuaifu Festival.

Xue Chongzheng, the marshal, told his subordinates the news of the Great Victory, "Everyone, the imperial court has uprooted the fierce Shatuo clan, and even the Shatuo people have been exterminated by the imperial court. Therefore, the proposal to recruit grass thieves will inevitably fail to pass in Chang'an. During this period of time, Ben Shuai even sent nine urgent military reports to Chang'an, but every time the political hall replied to let us exterminate ourselves. Now that the Shatuo people have been exterminated, the ministers in the political hall will not pay attention to our request for help. As for Zhao'an's proposal, don't even think about it. At present, the only way to do this is to send troops to exterminate this group of grasses. ”

Xue Chong is under a lot of pressure now, and the good news from Daibei is coming that the generals of the towns who participated in the encirclement and suppression are all promoted to higher ranks, which is enviable. But it is also frightening, Li Jun, the marshal of Zhaoyi Town, is the grandson of the dignified king of Xiping County, and he is the deputy envoy of Daibei, but as a result, because of a defeat, the whole army was wiped out, and even he was killed, and the court had no mercy for his death.

It is conceivable that if the grass thieves raging in the jurisdiction cannot be pacified, it is estimated that his position as the commander of the next section will not be guaranteed. For the sake of his official hat, he had to use all his strength. Fortunately, the elite of the Tianping Army who went to Xichuan has returned. This is a real elite. Plus the tooth soldiers of Yuncheng. There are 8,000 elites. What made him even more sure was that. The Taining military envoy Li has already taken the initiative to send someone to contact him, asking him to send troops to attack the grass thieves together.

"In this battle, we can only win and not lose!" Xue Chong slapped the table and said.

"Cao Duya, tell everyone that you have found out about the grass thief's movements."

Cao Quanyan stood up, this is a gray-haired veteran who has seen half a hundred. His grandfather Cao Xuan was the assassin of Xuzhou, and his father Cao Heng was the Taishou of Huai'an, who was raised in the early years of Xiantong. Later, he served as the governor of Henan. Previously, he entered Xichuan with Gao Biao and made military exploits, but this time he came back and was promoted to the Tianping Army Capital and the Ya Nei Du Zhi Soldiers and Horses, and was the head of the generals of the Tianping Army.

Cao Quanyang stood up and said: "Just last month, Wang Xianzhi, the leader of the grass thieves, personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses into Yanzhou, and had a fierce battle with the defenders of the Taining Army in the Qianfeng City. The Li family sent 1,000 soldiers to rescue, but Wang Xianzhi's subordinates still let Yu estimate the attack halfway, and they were beaten to the ground, and 1,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out. The city was then breached, and all the officials and soldiers in the city died. We get the latest news. The other tribes of the grass thieves have been flowing from all parts of Jeju to Yanju to join Wang Xianzhi. ”

Many generals heard that the grass thieves had entered Yanzhou, and they couldn't help but rejoice, Yanzhou was the territory of the Li family, no wonder he asked them to send troops.

"Marshal, since the grass thief escaped from the Tianping Army by himself, then we don't have to worry about him, right?"

If it had been before, Xue Chong would definitely do the same. But now, there are not only 8,000 elites in hand, but also the Li family's joint soldiers. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to kill the thief and make meritorious contributions, not to mention, he had always been worried in his heart that the grass thief had broken the four states in half a year in the territory of the Tianping Army, and he would definitely be held accountable afterwards. If he can take this opportunity to exterminate the grass thief in one fell swoop, then not only will he not be guilty, but he will have a great achievement.

"The grass thief is in flux, and now he is temporarily flowing into Yanzhou, but he may come back at any time. This grass thief has become more and more powerful, and we have to get rid of him as soon as possible. ”

Cao Quanyang nodded: "The grass thieves have sacked many cities, and now they have a large number of weapons and horses. According to our investigation, the various departments of the grass thieves have expanded dramatically during this time, and now each department has thrown 20,000 men and horses. In particular, although there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, it has hundreds of archers and hundreds of cavalry, which should not be underestimated. ”

Hearing that the grass thieves actually had 20,000 horses in half a year, and even had so many cavalry and archers, all the generals couldn't help but take a breath.

"Ben Shuai has already sent someone to deliver a letter to the Li Department, this time the 8,000 elites of our Tianping Army will enter the territory of Yanzhou of the Taining Army and join forces with the Taining Army to suppress the thieves. Although the Qianfeng area is mountainous, although it is not conducive to encirclement and suppression, it also has an advantage, that is, as long as we drive them into the mountains, it will not take a month for these grass thieves to starve to death. ”

Li and Xue Chong's judgment was the same, once the grass thieves found out that they had joined forces to send troops and attacked left and right, they would definitely not dare to fight, and they would definitely flee into the vast mountains in the northeast of Yanzhou. But this is making them happy, they are not afraid of the grass thieves chasing the mountain, as long as they dare to enter the mountain, when the time comes directly to the outside of the mountain, the grass thieves will be defeated.

Although there were 20,000 grass troops, their army was neither an elite standing army, nor a recruited brave warrior. But a common people, tenant farmers, croppers, fishermen, butchers, peddlers, chauffeurs, and a group of outlaw salt sellers, as well as thieves, thieves, robbers, and so on. Such a team may seem very large, but as long as they suffer a big defeat, they can melt as quickly as snowflakes under the scorching sun.

"How is the marshal going to march?" Cao Quanyang's nephew Cao Cunshi served as a suppression envoy and was also a fierce general in the army, and he also just returned from Xichuan.

Xue Chong hesitated for a moment, "The Li family thinks that we should directly attack the grass thieves. He said, "However, General Cao Quanyang and several other generals felt that they should avoid it for the time being, first all the way from Yunzhou to Puzhou and then Jeju, and finally enter Yanzhou, and completely plow our Tianping Town, and exterminate all the thieves." Then, it will join the soldiers and horses of the Li family. He reached out and lightly scratched his red nose, looking a little dissatisfied with the generals' opinions. However, Ben Shuai is worried that when we pass slowly all the way, I am afraid that the Li family has already annihilated all the grass thieves, and at that time, we may not even be able to catch up with the soup. ”

At this time, he had forgotten that the soldiers and horses he had sent earlier had been beaten by these grass thieves, and as soon as he saw that the elite soldiers and horses in his hands had returned, and there was a 'famous general' from the Li department, he felt that it was nothing to eliminate the grass thieves. Now he has begun to worry that if he goes late, the grass thieves will be killed by the Li family.

"Dashuai's worries are not unreasonable." Cao Cunshi said, "Right now, our Tianping Army and Taining Army are joining forces to deal with the grass thieves, and the destruction of the grass thieves is inevitable. At this time, we can't afford to be left behind. If Li alone kills the grass thief, then we will become the laughing stock of others. The grass thieves almost plowed our Tianping Army, and as a result, the Taining Army destroyed them as soon as they made a move, so where did we put our faces? ”

Cao Quanxi was dissatisfied with his nephew's attitude, "Shut up, you don't have the right to speak here." ”

But Xue Chong was very happy that someone supported his idea, he waved his hand to stop Cao Quanyang, and asked Cao Cunshi with a smile: "What good proposal will Cao Zhen have?" ”

Cao Cunshi walked to the front screen, which was a copper screen, but at this time there was a map of Henan hanging on it. He pointed to the map and said: "These two plans are different, but please see, big marshal, if we don't attack directly at this time, but clean up those little thieves in the back." Then there are two possibilities, one is that Li led the Taining army to destroy the grass thieves by himself. Second, the Taining army was insufficient, so the grass thieves escaped and fled to Huainan or Shannan. Regardless of the outcome, our Tianping Army will have to bear the responsibility for the previous defeat of the bandits. ”

"Good." Xue Chong said, "Go on." ”

"I propose to mobilize the united troops of all the states in Tianping Town, and let them enter Jeju from Yunzhou along Jishui to play the banner of the main force of soldiers and horses. On the one hand, we cleaned up those remaining thieves, and secondly, we disguised them as our main force, and finally appeared in the north of Qianfeng County, so that the thieves did not dare to return to Jeju and flow back to our town. Then, our 8,000 main troops and horses went out day and night, marching quietly and secretly all the way, directly from Yunzhou to Wenshui into Yanzhou, and quietly killed Qianfeng. The grass thieves must have thought that our main force was still in Jeju, so they would go all out to deal with the Li family, and their backs would be wide open, and at that time, we would directly kill and storm their backs, and we would be able to win a battle! After speaking, Cao Cunshi returned to his seat, he didn't have a smug expression on his face, but he could see that he was very satisfied with his performance and eager to hear the praise of the generals.

Cao Quanyan frowned: "You let us face the grass army alone." ”

"There are also Taining Army, they are in the light when they arrive, and we are in the dark." He explained eagerly, smirking smugly. "The Taining army can outflank and attack from the three directions of Surabaya, Xintai and Laiwu, and at that time the grass army will face it head-on, and we can kill the grass thief by surprise at a critical time.

"The situation on the war horse is changing rapidly, and I think that if you want to annihilate the grass thieves, you should first join up with the Taining army, and then kill them in a dignified manner. Now, how easy is it for the two armies to cooperate when they are separated? One is not good, but it is possible for the grass thief to have the possibility of breaking it. ”

Xue Chong smiled: "Each break? It's impossible, even if there are only 8,000 of us, it's not something that grass thieves can deal with at all. If it weren't for the fear that the grass thieves would escape, where would the two families be used. ”

Cao Quanyang still wanted to object, but Xue Chong didn't give him this opportunity anymore.

"There is no doubt about the bravery of the Ottoya, in this way, the united soldiers of the four states plus the assembled state and county soldiers and horses also have 8,000 people, although they are not the main force this time, but the task is also very important. How about I hand over the responsibility of commanding this army to Du Oya? ”

Cao Quanyang knew that Xue Chong didn't want him to speak, so he sighed and shut up and stopped talking.

"Cao Zhen will be brave and dare to fight, this time, I will grant you as the vanguard soldier and horse envoy to lead the front army."

Cao Cunshi smiled happily, Xue Cun saw Cao Quanyan sitting there expressionlessly, and hurriedly reassured: "The two sons of Du Zhiya are also brave and extraordinary, and this time the thief naturally can't miss it." Cao Yi and Cao Xiang, the two captains, this time the commander appointed you as the left and right vanguards, each leading a battalion of soldiers and horses. ”

Cao Yi and Cao Xiang were as eager as their brother Cao Cunshi to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and when they heard this appointment, they hurriedly stepped forward excitedly to receive the order.

Xue Chong clicked on the list of other generals who went out to fight, and then said: "All the generals will go back and prepare, tomorrow the fourth watch will make food, and the fifth watch will send troops!" (To be continued......)
