Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 150: 1 more battle

Luo Wenhu, who was patrolling the night, was accompanied by Zhou Sheng and others, and he rode his horse up the hill to the west of Cross Slope. He looked at Tiesong Creek and Pinglin Port under the night, and there was peace and tranquility after the war. Although several days have passed, Luo Wenhu still feels unrealistic about the great victory that took place in front of Cross Slope on the 24th.

The battle of Tiesongxi completely blocked the retreat of the enemy in eastern Hubei. In the entire eastern Hubei area, except for Su Tingzhan, Yang Xiong, Zhong Rong, Wang Xian'er and others, a small number of soldiers and horses with a total of about 20,000 people successfully escaped, almost the total number. 140,000 enemies were either killed or wounded, captured or fled, and were left in the south of Zaoyang and Xiaochang.

After completely defeating the enemy's defense line in eastern Hubei, Lin Fu asked the entire army to make more prisoners and less kills: to block the nearly 100,000 defeated enemies at the southern foot of Dahong Mountain, and after seeing that the northern escape route was blocked, except a few After the stubborn enemy was resolutely killed, the vast majority of the defeated enemy put down their weapons and surrendered...

By the 29th, the prisoners of war had been captured, including the small families of a few enemy soldiers in Hanjin and Shicheng, and the total number was 80,000, not including a large number of enemy soldiers who had fled to the deep mountains and forests before they landed.

When it comes to the number of killed enemies, the Huangpi, Hanjin, Baita Lines, and Xiongjiagang Lines killed 13,400 enemies; in the process of chasing and destroying, the number of kills was actually not many. More than 5,000, they blocked the way for the defeated soldiers to flee north; in the battle of Tiesongxi, the number of enemies killed was only 6,000 or 7,000; the battle of Baitanhe was the most enjoyable, with 8,000 enemies killed, and the proportion of killed enemies exceeded 70%. More than 3,000 were killed by drowning; Yue Zhi and Deng Yu attacked Fengshan, Chen and Han's three divisions, and wiped out no more than 2,000 or 3,000 enemies. In addition to less than 10,000 people who fled north, nearly 20,000 enemy soldiers were killed by Tiemenshan and Xiaochang. Those who all escaped from the north were scattered and captured—

In addition to capturing the enemy, as of today, more than 25,000 war horses have been captured. Of course, there are quite a few enemy soldiers and more war horses scattered among Jingxiang, and further suppression and capture must be carried out.

Luo Wenhu could not estimate how much supply and pressure the Huaidong Army would put on the Huaidong Army, and it was even more difficult to understand that the Huaidong Army even used precious wound medicine resources to treat wounded prisoners...

But in any case, Luo Xiancheng died at the hands of the Hu people, and tens of thousands of prisoners of war on the southern line of Dahongshan were his former colleagues of the Suizhou Army. The behavior of the Huaidong Army at this time made Luo Wenhu feel much better. He didn't have too much psychological burden after surrendering. He didn't have to worry about pointing his nose at the old officers in the future. Instead, he could say that he led his troops to surrender The teacher of the king is to follow the trend.

In the Battle of Eastern Hubei, the total number of dead, wounded and captured enemies is likely to reach 150,000. With Wang Xiang, Luo Wenhu, and the soldiers and horses who surrendered to the south of Suizhou, there are also tens of thousands, plus Zhong Rong and Luo who surrendered to Huaixi. Jian, Huo Tong, Wang Xian'er and other ministries, Yan Hu's total of more than 400,000 soldiers and horses lost more than half of the battle on the western front. Luo Wenhu thought that the battle of Jingxiang would end here, and the situation of the confrontation between the north and the south would be completely reversed. come on?

Zhou Sheng came over and said, "Master Luo, you said that Zhong Rong and the others went to Huaixi, will we go to war with Huaixi in the future?"

Luo Wenhu couldn't see the fog in front of him. Zhong Rong, Luo Jian, Wang Xian'er, and Huo Tong joined Huaixi after Luo Xiancheng's death. They can only say that everyone has their own aspirations, and they will naturally have their own masters when they meet in the future. Maybe this is them. There is no escape from the fate, but the general trend of the world is so easy to see clearly, it is his personal fate, he is still a little worried at this time.

According to the practice of the Huaidong Army, he should be transferred from Pinglin Port soon, and Cao Peng will take over his command and be incorporated into the official sequence of the Huaidong Army. Liu Zhenzhi had sent someone over to ask his opinion last night, and Luo Wenhu was a little hesitant about staying in the army or turning to politics.

"In the future, we will fight or make peace with Huaixi. It's not our turn to worry about it now, but the battle of Jingxiang should be over soon, and there is probably no more battle to fight," Luo Wenhu looked at Zhou who had been following him for many years. Sheng asked, "I will be transferred to leave soon, what are you going to do after the war? Do you want to go back to your hometown to beg a wife to live a small life, or do you want to continue to stay in the army to earn military merit? Do you have any ideas as soon as possible? Tell me, I can still help you before I leave. Liu Zhenzhi also said that after the war, a group of people will retire and return to the fields; with your military exploits, you can divide a large field."

Zhou Sheng's temperament is rough and fine, and he knows that in the general trend of the world, people like him are just unimportant pawns. Standing on the top of the mountain, he imagined the days when the hot pit head **** the mother-in-law and the farmer's weaving. Thinking about it, he grinned. Said: "I'm used to feeling the bow, I'm afraid I can't handle the hoe."

"Then go to the war training school!" Luo Wenhu said, "If you want to be a sentry general or a battalion general in the Huaidong Army, you must be from a war training school. Fortunately, you have military exploits, so it is not difficult to enter the war training school... …”

"According to Commander Cao, you need to learn characters when you enter the war training school; how can I recognize a few of the characters of the dog, the sun, and the big baskets. Isn't it difficult for me to learn the characters?" Zhou Sheng spat and said. , "Wherever Lord Luo goes, I will follow wherever I go, and serve as a squire for Lord Luo for the rest of my life..."

"You're just that promising, and you can be a long-term follower for others?" Luo Wenhu smiled, "It's not difficult to learn Chinese characters, and it's not for you to write first-hand articles. I used to think about giving you a few scriptures when I was in Lishan. , I didn't want to delay it again and again. If you can enter the war training school to learn terrain and military affairs, how can you do without learning characters, how can you have a great future if you don't learn characters?"

At this time, someone rode up the mountain and said, "Master Rod wants to see Luo Shuai..."

Liu Zhenzhi was stationed in Longzui Mountain, and Sun Zhuang was still headed by Pinglinbu. Luo Wenhu didn't know what Sun Zhuang had called in the middle of the night, so he went back to the camp with Zhou Sheng to see him.

When I returned to the camp, I saw that the riding camp on the west bank of Tiesongxi had already started to set up camp. It looked like he was about to set off. Luo Wenhu rushed to see Sun Zhuang, and saw that Cao Peng, Chen Daozi and others had given Sun Zhuang a hand. Called over, he asked in surprise, "Do you want to go north to recover Nanyang?"

"Yeah!" Sun Zhuang nodded, without explaining anything, and said, "Go and order, Cao Peng will take over your team, and you are still stationed in Pinglin Port for the time being. You can go with me, and you can bring two entourages... …”

Luo Wenhu knew for a long time that he would give the imperial army the right to lose the army, but he was not worried that there would be no way out in Huaidong, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he didn't think much about it. , I'll go get ready."

Since Luo Wenhu joined the army, Cao Peng took over as commander and joined the army. Although the time was very short, after the Battle of Tiesongxi, another group of officers from the Huaidong Army followed Cao Peng. The sentinels will convene and make an announcement.

Zhou Sheng said, "I want to go with Lord Luo!"

Sun Zhuang raised his head and glanced at Zhou Sheng. He had a deep impression on him, a man of five big and three rough, and said with a smile: "You go to the war training school and come back after rolling meat, and you can be a sentry general and a battalion general; It is also possible for the brigade commander to leave these behind?"

"To go to the war training school, you have to learn the characters first, how can I do it?" Zhou Sheng said with a grin.

"You're worthless!" Sun Zhuang scolded and said to Luo Wenhu, "And that Tian Su, take him with you!"

Although the Huaidong Army's general position is not fixed, but compared with the traditional military attache rank, the sentry general is already a military position of the entry-level. Even if the battalion general takes up a military position in the local area, it is at least a local military armament officer with the position of patrol and commander. It is more than enough for the brigade commander to be changed to the commander of the military academy. These are military positions granted by local pardons, and are things that many children of peasant households dare not hope for in their entire lives.

Luo Wenhu didn't want to delay Zhou Sheng's future, but Sun Zhuang promised Zhou Sheng to accompany him, and even asked Tian Su to follow him, so he didn't say anything.

After handing over the military power, Luo Wenhu took Zhou Sheng and Tian Su, who was recovering from his injuries, with the cavalry camp to pull out the camp north in the early morning. After passing the northern foot of Heishigou, Sun Zhuang entrusted Chen Daozi to lead the cavalry camp to continue to the northwest. He was surrounded by more than 100 cavalry cavalry and turned to the Hanshui and Longzuishan camping direction. Luo Wenhu followed Sun Zhuang. As he walked away, he wondered: what did Sun Zhuang leave behind the riding camp and rush to Longzuishan alone?

Luo Wenhu, Zhou Sheng, and Tian Su just followed Sun Zhuang's cavalry team and walked very fast. When they reached the middle of the day, they saw a camp at the northern foot of Longzui Mountain: several troops and horses were coming from Longzui. The mountain barracks opened to the north, and it was like going north to participate in the war-a dozen horsemen came to greet them and give orders.

Sun Zhuang read the military order, and called Luo Wenhu, Zhou Sheng, and Tian Su out of the cavalry team: "You will disarm the sword..."

Luo Wenhu's heart tightened, and Sun Zhuang scolded with a smile: "Luo Xiucai, how courageous you are! If I want to kill you, just stop at random on the road, why do you need to bring it here for execution? I'll just go, a long-winded chicken rake!"

Luo Wenhu, Zhou Sheng, and Tian Su took off their swords and bows, and followed the dozen or so cavalry that came over to the Han River with Sun Zhuang. strengthen them together.

Going east for three or four miles, you can hear the sound of the surging water of the Han River. You can see a large group of cavalry parked under a cliff on the river bank. Compared with other cavalry in Huaidong, the cavalry and the cloak The lapel is a special crimson red.

Even though Luo Wenhu couldn't fully understand the uniform pattern of the Huaidong Army, he could guess that the cavalry in front of him was actually the cavalry of the Privy Councilor and Duke Chongguo's old guard. Front?"

"There's a lot of nonsense," Sun Zhuang said. "It was inconvenient to know in the past."

Only then did Luo Wenhu know why Sun Zhuang didn't reveal anything along the way. After Chong Guogong left the Xingyuan, his whereabouts were as secret as Huaidong's top secret, and it was absolutely impossible to inform the middle and lower-level generals in advance. Just now because of the unhappiness and worry of being ordered to remove the weapon, Luo Wenhu of course knew that he would have the opportunity to meet Lin Fu, and he secretly looked forward to it for a long time, but he did not expect to meet the founder of Huaidong Army so soon.

He rode his horse to the low mountain on the cliff. Below the cliff was the Han River Beach. The river beach was very wide, almost three or four miles in depth. The river water appeared to be very thin, and there were shallow sands on the river surface. Luo Wenhu didn't have much experience in water warfare, but when he saw the surface of the water and saw a few bits of silt that surfaced, he also knew that this was not the place where the Huaidong Water Camp could exert its combat power - there were dozens of people standing there. On the river beach, it looks as small as an ant from a distance.

The reeds on the river beach had been set on fire long ago, and it was charred black. Luo Wenhu, Zhou Sheng, and Tian Su followed Sun Zhuang down the river beach, only to find that there was no way to go on the river beach. It was very deep, and dozens of people in the distance also came here from the scorched reed roots at this time.

It is not difficult for Luo Wenhu to see that the young man surrounded by the crowd and in the center is Duke Chongguo and Lin Bie, the privy envoy who had the power in the military and government of the dynasty. After the mud, there was no other person beside him, it was the king minister who had just been assigned the right to know the affairs of the Suizhou government.

Luo Wenhu didn't expect that Wang Xiang was also ordered to see Lin Fu today. Seeing that he was walking barefoot, the mudflat was very deep. Wang Xiang introduced a scribe, and it was hard to walk. He also asked Lin Fu next to him from time to time. Luo Wenhu, a civil and military official in the east, wondered in his heart: Lin Fu should have just headed north from Shicheng, and he should have gone to Fancheng after experiencing Longzui Mountain. He didn't expect that he would stop and climb this mudflat...

Lin Fu walked to the shore, saw Sun Zhuang, and said with a smile, "You're not walking slowly, I thought you were waiting for the afternoon!" He looked at Luo Wenhu and smiled, "You are Luo Xiucai, Wang Xiang. I have praised you many times, Tiesongxi played very well in the first battle!"

"Master Wugan, Liu Zhijun, and Cao commanded them, Tiesongxi is not something that Wen Hu can guard," Luo Wenhu saluted, "Wen Hu dare not take credit..."

"It's not good to be too modest if you have merit. In the battle of Tiesongxi, the concerted efforts of all the generals are a factor. You have a comprehensive command and you are indeed meritorious; I want to listen to your commanding experience." Lin Fu looked at Luo Xiancheng, the adopted son who was first used and kicked aside because of his ambition to take Luo Xiancheng's position, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at Luo Wenhu's side again. Zhou Sheng and Tian Su, who were present, smiled and said, "Zhou Sheng, Tian Su, Huaidong died bravely, and they killed 21 enemies in a row. Today, Jian Yan, I will award you honors!"

Zhou Sheng and Tian Su did not expect to follow Sun Zhuang and Luo Wenhu to see Donghaihu, the rumored first official of the Southern Dynasty. Knowing their names, he could recognize them without even seeing each other, and his hands and feet trembled with excitement, Zhou Sheng stammered and said, "I didn't kill as many assholes, so I only picked up seventeen heads!"

"But you killed an enemy cavalry leader before the battle. The enemy cavalry leader is an enemy general at the brigade level. This credit is not small." Lin Bie has a good memory. After reading the report of the battle of Tiesongxi, many The details can be pointed out.

Wang Xiang also came to see Lin Fu for the first time, and he could also see the huge gap between the old master Luo Xiancheng and Lin Fu. The so-called death of a confidant, for middle and low-level generals, needs to be simpler. See Zhou Sheng and Tian Su. The two are excited, will they fight to the death for the Huaidong Army in the future? Even Luo Wenhu had seen the world, so he had to calm down, and he was probably excited because Lin Fu met him so quickly and was so sure of his ability to use troops!

For thousands of years, no matter whether it is civil or military, capable people have come out in large numbers. They have ambitions to pursue power, but when it comes to people living forever, don't they want to be able to display their talents?

Lin Fu sat down and washed his mud feet, put on his boots, and climbed ashore.

Wang came to Longzuishan a day earlier than Luo Wenhu, and stood aside to introduce Song Fu, Hu Wenmu, Gao Zongting and others to Luo Wenhu.

Luo Wenhu didn't expect that Hu Wenmu, who was the first person in Jinghu in the past, would stand beside Lin Fu at this time, and he was willing to be at the bottom.

Walking to the cliff and turning around to see Tangtanghanshui, Lin Fu also felt emotional.

If he simply wanted to create the Lin Dynasty, it might be easier. If the big deal was bloody, he would be able to stand on his own and then plan for the Northern Expedition. But thousands of years of history cannot escape the old pattern. ? But in the face of tenacious thousands of years of tradition, how difficult it is to jump out of the old pattern!

Others, in troubled times, ambitious people are like crucian carp crossing the river, and many Huaidong can use them, but after the troubled times, is it "cunning rabbits die, running dogs cook", or "a cup of wine to release military power", closing the fields and houses to support Its wealth and wealth are inseparable from the old pattern. And if you want a new pattern to come, simply creating a "constitutional monarchy" shell will only lead to more cruel and crazy bloodshed.

Maybe after the battle of Jingxiang, some preparations must be done in advance, Lin Fu thought to himself, but no matter what, it is better to recover Xiangyang and Nanyang first.

Thinking of this, Lin Fu turned around and said to Luo Wenhu, who was following behind: "Luo Xiucai has a deep understanding of military affairs, and Zong Ting also said that you are talented in general, can you be wronged to temporarily serve as a commander in the Military Intelligence Department and join the army to assist Zong Ting? Court them to formulate the overall strategy of military aircraft?"

"The commander of the last commander~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Luo Wenhu said.

Luo Wenhu roughly knew that the Military Intelligence Department was actually the core military staff organization around Lin Fu. The careful plan for the battle of Jingxiang came from the Military Intelligence Department, and almost all the middle and senior generals of the Huaidong Army had to go through the Military Intelligence Department once. Speaking to the public, Luo Wenhu was worried about his future before he came. At this time, he could enter the Military Intelligence Department as the highest military aircraft to join the army and participate in the Huaidong Army. What else could he not want?

"What should I do with these two scumbags?" Sun Zhuang pointed at Zhou Sheng and Tian Su and asked Lin Fu. It was a waste for the two of them to follow Luo Wenhu as squires. Sun Zhuang has a rough temperament, the more he cursed, the more happy Zhou Sheng and Tian Su heard.

Lin Fu smiled and said, "You seem to have done it, but you have to send it to the war training school first."

When the army was in a hurry, Lin Fu returned to the army base and set up a banquet to entertain Wang Xiang, Luo Wenhu and other affiliated generals; after the banquet, Tian Su and Zhou Sheng were ordered to go to Jiangxia to report to the war training school, and they didn't even have time to say goodbye to Luo Wenhu. After the banquet, Lin Fu had to take time to discuss with Wang Xiang, Song Fu and others about the political affairs of governing Suizhou and restoring people's livelihood after the war.

As soon as he entered the Military Intelligence Department, although he was the commander and joined the army, he could also access the core military secrets of Huaidong. Only then did Luo Wenhu know that Zhou Tong and Liu Zhenzhi had already led their troops north to Fancheng, and another commander of Huaidong came to replace Zhou Tong. Ao Canghai, the top-ranking general, and the main force of the Huaidong Army, including the navy, have been marching north with all their strength these two days.

Luo Wenhu had guessed that the Battle of Jingxiang would come to an end as Ye Jiluorong led his troops to withdraw from Guanzhong in the north, and the Huaidong Army took advantage of the situation to recover Xiangyang and Nanyang. He did not expect that, unlike what he had guessed in advance, the Ministry of Military Intelligence was closely planning for Jing. In the final battle of the Battle of Xiang, I will take another bite on the soldiers and horses on the Western Front of Yanhu... My QT room is open!
