Cangzhou, which is the largest state in Hebei, is equivalent to the sum of the four states of Mo, Ying, Shen and Yi in the west. This coastal state of Hebei, which has been seized by various towns, was also once divided from Jingzhou, but now, it has been reverted to a state. Connected to the two states of De and Di in the south, and formed the Yichang Army.

The Yichang Festival, like the Yiwu Army, was actually separated from the Chengde Army.

The Chengde army was once the strongest and most stable town among the three towns of Heshuo, with Yi, Ding, Zhen, Zhao, Shen, Yi, Cang, De, and Di prefectures, controlling the danger of Taihang, and the key to Hebei.

Chengde controls the swallow thistle, the road leads to Heluo, and there is the danger of the well, which is enough to choke the throat.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the feudal towns have been divided, Chengde is the strongest, with Zhu Tao's fierceness, Wang Wujun's water is brave, and they are invincible. Wang Chengzong and Wang Ting were the first to be tyrannical, and with the order of the Son of Heaven, even the soldiers of all the ways entered the battle from all sides, and they were defeated one after another, and no one could break it.

However, during the Xianzong Dynasty, the Chengde army was in civil strife, and finally lost to the imperial court, although Chengde Town was retained, but Yiding was divided into the Yiwu Army, and Cangdedi was divided into the Yichang Army.

Chengde Town only has the four states of Zhenshen and Zhaoyi, but Wang Jingchong is still obsessed with restoring the former prestige of Chengde in Chengde.

At present, all parties are fighting together, and seeing that the towns in Henan are intimidated by the Huangchao and retreat to defend themselves, Wang Jingchong immediately sent troops to Cangzhou, preparing to swallow the Yichang army in the east first.

Since the start of the army, Wang Jingchong has also continued to recruit troops. So far, he has 100,000 soldiers and horses. It can be said that it is the limit of military expansion. 10,000 cavalry were formed.

With 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 fine horsemen, it is said that the soldiers are strong and strong. Wang Jingchong was only thirty-two years old at this time, his Wang clan was not a Han Chinese, but a Uighur Absi tribe, in the fifteenth year of Yuan He, the Khitan king Chengzong who originally controlled the Chengde army, died, and his younger brother Wang Chengyuan was attached to the imperial court. Tian Hongzheng was sent back to Wei Bo shortly after his arrival, and the Cheng German army knew that the soldiers and horses made the royal court of the Hui Absi tribe to have different ambitions, colluded with the tooth soldiers, and killed him.

Wang Yancuo has since controlled the German army, and by Wang Jingchong's generation, it is already the fifth generation.

Wang Jingchong's grandfather, Wang Yuankui, was the son of Wang Yancuo, who was very respectful to the court because of his father's attitude, and married Princess Shou'an, the niece of Xuanzong. Since then, the Wang family has firmly become the commander of the German army.

Wang Jingchong's father, Wang Shaoding, was Wang Yuankui's eldest son and was born to a princess. In 855, when Wang Jingchong was eight years old, Wang Yuankui died and was succeeded by Wang Shaoding. But he mistreated the people and feasted all day long, and the soldiers rebelled. But before the mutiny could occur, Wang Shaoding fell ill and died, and the soldiers elected his brother Wang Shaoyi to succeed him. Xuanzong recognized it.

After Wang Jingchong's uncle took over his father's festival envoy, Wang Jingchong served as the acting governor and commander of Zhenzhou, and his uncle served for ten years, and died of illness at the age of nineteen when Wang Jingchong was nineteen years old.

Before the army, he was the envoy of the Chengde Army, and he also served as the Pingzhang of the Tongzhong Shumen of Tang Yanjiafeng, and served as the official of the Zhongzhong and Zhao Guogongs.

This year, his son Wang Rong was only five years old.

No one can say why Wang Jingchong is against it, but he is against it.

And now, Wang Jingchong ordered his half-brother Wang Jingyin and younger brother Wang Jingyi to lead 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to attack the Yichang army.

The Yichang army had only 6,000 soldiers and horses, and the battle went very smoothly.

On 5 February, Wang Jingchong received the news in Zhenzhou that the two brothers had captured Cangzhou City, and that Zheng Hanqing's troops were defeated and died in the chaos of the Yichang Army, and half of the 3,000 Yichang troops in Cangzhou City were captured.

On the same day, Wang Jingchong sent an envoy to Cangzhou to reward and reward the meritorious soldiers, and at the same time ordered Wang Jingyin and Wang Jingyi to continue to go south and take advantage of the victory to capture De and Di Prefectures. On the other hand, Wang Jingchong had already begun to plan his troops to attack Taiyuan.

Everything was so smooth, that powerful Datang was already dying in the blink of an eye, extremely weak.

On 6 February, he suddenly met Liu Yue's envoy who had traveled south from Youzhou.

The messenger who came suddenly reported a news that made him frown, and Li Jing in the northeast moved. A full sixteen corps were dispatched to the south, including ten cavalry corps and six infantry corps.

Wang Jingchong knew that the military system of the Northeast Army was somewhat different from that of other towns, and the imperial court was now generally 1,000 people per capital, and the soldiers and horses were counted according to each other. However, Li Jing's army is one hundred people, generally calculated according to the army, one army has two compartments, one compartment has five battalions, one battalion has five capitals, and one army is 5,000 people. These sixteen armies, that is, 80,000 soldiers and horses. In particular, there were 60,000 cavalry among them, a number that shocked Wang Jingchong, who was already a little conceited just after having 10,000 cavalry.

What shocked him even more was that the envoy told him that according to the reconnaissance of Youzhou Town, Li Jing's target this time was not Youzhou Town, but to go south directly to Henan, so Yichang Town bore the brunt.

Originally, Li Jing led 80,000 troops only to pass through Cangzhou and Germany, but now Cangzhou has just been captured by the Chengde army, and now, the Chengde army has become Li Jing's target.

At present, Wang Jingchong has two choices, one is to immediately spit out Cangzhou, which has just arrived, and even Dedi Erzhou, which has already reached his mouth, has to give up.

Or, they will pull out their teeth, take millet from the fire, send troops to reinforce Cangzhou, and hold on to the city.

Wang Jingchong was unwilling to give up Cangzhou, and he was even more unwilling to give up the entire Yichang Army.

He was considering sending troops to reinforce Cangzhou and fighting with Li Jing in Hebei. Because according to the information he obtained, Li Jing rode south this time, although he dispatched 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, but he only carried seven days of food and grass, and did not have a baggage battalion and a logistics battalion to follow, let alone an auxiliary army and civilian man. Although it is said that from Huichang, which Li Jing now controls, to Qizhou, which Li Jing controls, it is only three hundred miles.

But after all, there are still three states of Cang, De, and Di of the Yichang Army, especially now that Cangzhou has been won for him. As long as he could hold out in Cangzhou for a few days, Li Jing had to retreat.

Relying on Cangzhou City, he can completely fight Li Jing. Although Li Jing has an undefeated reputation. But no matter how undefeated the army is, it has to eat. No matter how powerful the army is. Li Jing couldn't take a fortified city in a few days.

Not to mention. Lu Longjun's Liu Yue has always been oppressed by Li Jing, and when Li Jing goes south, it is not impossible to contact Liu Yue and ask him to send troops to cut off Li Jing's retreat. Li Jing took advantage of the fire to rob and seize the counties of Yongnu and Huichang in Youzhou, and there was no danger to defend on the Pingchuan. As long as Liu Yue sends troops, it is entirely possible to recapture Yongnu and Huichang, and cut off Li Jing's retreat.

At that time, Li Jing was under the fortified city. The four towns of Hebei can surround Li Jing, no matter how powerful Li Jing is, there is no grain and grass, what will he use to fight.

Thinking of being able to surround Li Jing and eat this southbound main force under Li Jing's arrogance, Wang Jingchong's heart trembled a little with excitement. In the past few years, Li Jing's rise has been too fast, and he has already surpassed the three old feudal towns of Heshuo. Today, Tohoku Province has the territory of 30 states, which is even more coveted. The prosperity of Dengzhou and southern Liaoning is well known, and Dengzhou is a big city with millions of people. Duli City and Qingni City, two big cities in southern Liaoning, also have a population of 300,000 and are extremely prosperous.

If you can encircle and annihilate Li Jing's troops in Cangzhou. Even Li Jing, who is strong and strong, will inevitably break his muscles and bones. Especially in the current winter, the ice on the sea has not yet melted, and Li Jing's powerful naval army cannot approach Cangzhou from the sea at all, which gives him more confidence.

If he can defeat Li Jing, then he will not only be able to eat the Yichang army, but he will even be able to cross the Yellow River south in one fell swoop, take Ziqing, and enter Dengzhou, the million-dollar capital that has no defense.

Excited, Wang Jingchong immediately wrote a few letters, and sent his henchmen to send them to Youzhou, Yizhou, and Weizhou in a hurry, and asked them to send troops to eat Li Jing together.

On February 7, Wang Jingchong gathered the remaining 7,000 cavalry in his hands, and mobilized 50,000 infantry to rush to Cangzhou for reinforcements, and divided his troops to attack the two prefectures of Dedi, so as to garrison the north of the Yellow River and prevent Li Jing's troops and horses from Ziqing from going north for reinforcements.

Wei Bo, Daimyo's Mansion.

In Yacheng, Han Jian, the king of Wei, saw the messenger of Chengde who went all the way south from Zhenzhou and galloped forward, and after carefully reading the handwritten letter of Wang Jingchong, the king of Zhao, Han Jian couldn't help but be moved. During this time, he sent two lines of troops and horses to attack the three prefectures of Xing, Wei and Ci in the east of Taihang Mountain, and the two prefectures of Tianping Junpu and Yun south of the Yellow River. However, the war did not go well, and even now, not even a decent city has been defeated.

Wang Jingchong's suggestion made him moved, although Li Jing had 80,000 soldiers, but the news that Li Jing only had seven days' food made him feel a lot more courageous. If the four towns of Hebei join forces, it is not impossible to eat this army with no logistical supplies and only seven days of food and grass. Li Jing is the richest town in the world, and if this happens, the benefits will be great.

Immediately, Han Jian ordered the useless soldiers and horses to be transferred back, and then immediately mobilized a team of 30,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Cangzhou immediately, and at the same time he was ready to gather another batch of soldiers and horses, and then go north.

Youzhou.

Liu Yue, the king of Yan, carefully looked at the letter sent by Wang Jingchong in his hand, and the proposal in the letter made him moved. Today's Liu Yue can be described as very uncomfortable, Li Jing devoured step by step, seized the Ying, Ping, Ji, Tan, and Shun Prefectures that belonged to Lu Long, and there was no danger in Yanshan, Lu Long had no resistance to Li Jing, especially in the northwest, the damn Li Keyong has been very fierce recently, and he has taken Xin and Wu Erzhou in a row, and if this continues, he, the king of Yan, will either be destroyed by Li Jing, or be destroyed by Sha Tuoer Li Keyong.

Now that Huang Chao has killed Luoyang City, Zheng Congyan, Xin Yan and others hurriedly rushed to Luoyang, which reduced the pressure on Liu Yue's west a little, otherwise, it is estimated that this Shatuo barbarian will fight outside the military capital.

Now is indeed a rare opportunity, if you can take this opportunity to cut off Li Jing's back road and join forces with the Three Towns to defeat Li Jing. The situation in Lulong Town can improve immediately, and he doesn't expect to kill Li Jing in a battle, but as long as Li Jing is hit hard, he will be able to take back the states of Shun, Ji, Tan, and Pingping, as long as he can recover the states, there is Junduguan in the west, Shanhaiguan in the east, and Yanshan in the north, he can completely defend against the danger and change the danger of imminent destruction.

In Yizhou, Li Quanzhong, the king of wings, looked at the letter and smiled, made a decision without hesitation, and led 30,000 troops to move in the direction of Mo and Ying on the same day.

For a time, the clouds moved in all directions. (To be continued......)
