Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 131: way back

On the third day of December, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army's left flank withdrew its troops from the west and entered Jiuzi Mountain via Nanling, and retreated from the valley road between Jiuzi Mountain to Qingyang, which is near the river in the northwest. Yang Xiong, the tyrant of Dongting Lake, led his navy down the river from Jiangzhou, and entered Chizhou on the same day, sending troops to capture the mouth of Qiupu.

Yue Lengqiu sent Chen Zishou out of the city to the southeast along the Qiupu River, intending to intercept the west bank of the Qiupu River between Shicheng and Qiupu City to intercept the westward withdrawal of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops...

Chen Zishou was originally Huang Binghao's former subordinate. When Jiangzhou was besieged, he strongly demanded that he lead his troops back to Jiangzhou, and forced Yue Lengqiu to oppress him, resulting in resentment. Jiangzhou fell, Chen Zishou's relatives were captured, Yang Xiong came to Chizhou east, accompanied by Chen Zishou's relatives, and sent Huang Binghao into Chen Zishou's army to say surrender.

Chen Zishou led his troops out of Qiupu City to fight, which was also forced by Yue Lengqiu. The morale of the soldiers was low, and the generals were full of complaints. Facing the attack of more than 50,000 troops and horses in the middle road of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops, and Yue Lengqiu led the main force to take Qiupu City and did not come out, Chen Zishou suddenly withdrew from the Huangyatan position on the west bank of Qiupu River on the morning of the fourth day of the first day, and led his troops to attack Qiupu. The Yaozhai Shicheng in the south of the county, led the ministry to offer the stone city for extravagance.

So far, the Zhejiang-Fujian army has controlled the northern foothills of Jiuzi Mountain and opened up the passage to the west to withdraw from Jiangzhou.

The Qiupu River is the main tributary of the Yangtze River in Chizhou. In the cold winter season, the water between the river beaches is also a hundred feet wide, and because of the remnants of the northern foot of Jiuzi Mountain, the terrain on both sides of the Qiupu River is rugged and steep.

Shewenzhuang rode his horse to cross the Qiupu River from the pontoon built by the water, and looked at the situation of the mountains and rivers on both sides of the Qiupu River. The horses may not be able to cross the Qiupu River in time before the main force of Huaidong soldiers and horses arrives. Yue Lengqiu is indeed a character who "would rather be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail"...

Yang Xiong and his descendants, Huang Binghao, Chen Zishou, and others came to the bank of Qiupu River to welcome him. When they saw Shewenzhuang crossing the river, they all bowed down and saluted, "See the Great Governor..."

Yang Xiong was not tall, with long and thin cheeks. In his early years, he was as famous as Luo Xian, the king of Changle. However, as the Yue Dynasty increased the local military power in Xiangzhou, Jingzhou and other places, Yang Xiong was forced to retreat to Dongting Lake as a lake bandit.

As early as three years ago, when the She family originally planned to invade Jiangxi, they contacted Yang Xiong to seek Jiangxi, but the She family's westward strategy hit Huaidong's plan to hide the sky and cross the sea at the heart of the heart. The matter of Yang Xiong and Luo Xiancheng will naturally be over.

Because the alliance failed three years ago, Luo Xiancheng became cautious. This time, Feifei Xiong attacked Jiangzhou and contacted Yang Xiong, who was in the mountains of Xiangtan, to lead his troops to shoot. However, Luo Xiancheng was worried that the bamboo basket would be empty again, and he stayed in Xiangfan and did not move. All lack the most important support.

The Zhejiang-Fujian Army wants to quickly form a navy in Jiangxi and Poyang Lake that can compete with the Huaidong Water Camp. It is no longer possible to rely only on direct lineage, and more rely on Yang Xiong, a general—although the formation of the navy is extravagant. The control of the home is not as strong as it used to be, but the situation is such that there is no good way to implement it.

"The Dongting navy has dominated the two lakes for many years, and its name has moved the world. Now, when you look at the military appearance, the name is well-deserved. It seems that the commander of the navy in Zhejiang and Fujian is none other than General Yang!" Shewenzhuang supported Yang Xiong's shoulder and made Xu Jue an official , pulled Su Tingzhan next to him and said, "Tingzhan is also good at fighting water battles, how about letting him be the deputy commander of General Yang?"

"Yang Xiong obeys the orders of the Governor!" Yang Xiong replied with a full mouth.

In the current situation, only relying on his 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers, he has to survive alone, and he has no faith in the government. It is better to be sent to fill the battlefield than to join a luxury family. Based on Poyang Lake, you can operate Xianghu Lake in the west, and attack Jinghu Lake in the north to form an alliance with the Changle Army...

Shewenzhuang looked at Huang Binghao. Huang Binghao was in his fiftieth year. Like Shewenzhuang, his temples were already frosted. Huang Binghao was originally from a wealthy family in Jiangzhou. When Li Zhuo led his troops to attack East Fujian from Jiangxi, Huang Binghao was only a minor official in Jiangzhou. He was responsible for escorting Jiangzhou grain and grass to the Fujian reinforcements. Jigong is Jiangzhou Sikou.

The East Fujian war ceased, but from the ninth year of Chongguan, Jiangxi experienced frequent droughts and frequent floods, and civil turmoil began. In the process of managing the civil turmoil, Huang Binghao gradually mastered the Jiangzhou government army and was able to serve as the Jiangzhou system envoy. Ganzhou Fan Qifeng, after Li Zhuo, was also called Jiangxi Shuangjie. Fan Qifeng was killed by the Zhejiang-Fujian army, and Huang Binghao surrendered for all his relatives, which is also embarrassing.

Such a person was afraid that it would be difficult to be resigned. She Wenzhuang sighed in his heart: It was also thanks to Emperor Yue that he abandoned Jiangning in time and fled, causing Huang Binghao to lose his determination to defend Jiangzhou, so he was forced to surrender, otherwise Feixiong would really attack Jiangzhou. The casualties are bound to be heavy, but Huang Binghao sacrificed Jiangzhou to surrender, and now his old subordinate Chen Zishou also led his troops to surrender, Huang Binghao's direct line of troops will exceed 20,000, and Jiangzhou is the old root of the Huang family - at this time, Shewenzhuang can't blatantly weaken Huang Binghao, but if Huang Binghao continues to occupy Jiangzhou, one is afraid that Huang Binghao's tail will not fall off, and it will not be controlled by the luxury family, and the other is that Jiangning will recruit Huang Binghao to vote in it...

"Binghao is well-known, I have admired it in Jin'an for a long time, and seeing it today is considered a fulfillment of a great wish in my life," Shewenzhuang said loudly, holding Huang Binghao's arm, especially affectionately, and said, "To seize Jiangxi, yes What I wished in my life to manage Xianghu Lake according to Jiangxi is also what I wished in my life, is Binghao willing to follow my will?”

It was only recently that Huang Binghao realized that the She family could not stand in Jiangning at all, but he had already boarded the pirate ship, and it was too late to regret it, and he knew that the She family would never allow him to continue to occupy Jiangzhou, which is the key point at the mouth of Poyang Lake. Abandoning Jiangzhou and leading troops westward into Xiangtan is also a good choice!

Now, nearly 20,000 soldiers have been disarmed and detained in Jiangzhou City. Their lives and wealth are in the hands of the luxury family. The conditions are similar, and Huang Binghao can't help but pick the fat and thin, and said out loud: "Thank you for your trust, Binghao will not be called. The Governor is disappointed..."

Shewenzhuang looked at Chen Zishou and praised: "What a good tiger general!" Chen Zishou was indeed the leading brave general of the former Jiangzhou Army, otherwise Huang Binghao would not have asked Chen Zishou to lead his troops to help Jiangning with Yue Lengqiu. Guard Jiangzhou! But he knew that Yue Lengqiu also wanted to close up such a character, but in the end he kicked Chen Zishou out because he knew that this person was not easy to close. He still had to use Huang Binghao, so naturally he couldn't directly cut off the brave generals under his command. Pulled over, he just took off the saber from his waist and gave it to Chen Zishou, saying, "This saber has been with me for half my life, but in recent years I have not had the chance to drink blood. It's a pity, I hope Zishou makes good use of it and works well under Binghao. …”

"Zi Shou is willing to go to the hot fire for the Grand Governor!" Chen Zishou knelt down to take the saber, grateful.

Shewenzhuang personally helped Chen Shouzi to tie the saber around his waist. After all this was done, he left the embankment and went to Shicheng.

Occupying Shicheng and opening the passage from the west to Jiangzhou, the army is not in a hurry to withdraw westward, and the delay will be longer, which will also benefit the defense deployment of cities such as Pengze and Hukou...

Judging from the current results, the Zhejiang and Fujian troops still achieved their early operational goals after the fall: occupy Jiangzhou, control the entire Poyang Lake Plain, join forces with Dongting Lake water pirates, annex Jiangzhou gentry, and remnant Jiangning, while the army safely withdraws to the west. However, if you think about it carefully, the dangerous situation faced by the Zhejiang-Fujian army has not been completely improved, but Huaidong has been called to sit down completely.

Even if the luxury Wenzhuang knew from the beginning to the end that what Huaidong was doing was a poisonous plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, what could he do?

Trapped in Huizhou and left Jiangning in ruins, the Zhejiang-Fujian army did take a sigh of relief, but it was only a sigh of relief...

Shewenzhuang pressed the worries in his heart, and happily galloped into Shicheng with Yang Xiong, Huang Binghao, Chen Zishou and others. Before the banquet, everyone was temporarily invited to rest in the public hall. Tian Chang held a secret letter in his hand and got it together. In Shewenzhuang's ear, he said: "Gucheng secretly reported that there was a soldier from the Huaidong Army that crossed Maoshan on the first day, along the Qingshan River and the Yiyang River northward. I was afraid that the second son would not be able to cross the Yiyang River in time. Is it because the last general... …”

She Wenzhuang raised his head, his eyes fell on the empty space, and after a long time he said: "Forget it, if Feihu can withdraw, I will explain to him; if he can't withdraw, it is also the account of the She family to everyone... "

After the middle road was cut off by Su Tingzhan led by a group of troops and horses in Qingyang, more than 10,000 elites from the left wing would withdraw from Nanling to Qingyang, but from Qingyang to the mouth of the Yiyang River, it would be nearly two hundred miles east; At this time, the troops from Qingyang moved eastward, and the remnants of the right wing were withdrawn across the Yiyang River, which would likely be entangled with the main force of the Huaidong Army who had caught up. Can't afford a big loss.

Tian Chang didn't say anything anymore. Sometimes it was necessary to give up. If everyone else could sacrifice, but only the children of the extravagant family could not sacrifice, how would the Governor of the Great Commander win people's hearts in the future? I wished that the second son could escape westward alone, or he could escape~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She Feihu, together with Yu Wenshan, Luo Wenhu and other generals at dawn on the second day of December, led more than 6,000 soldiers and horses under his direct line. Out of Yijiangmen and retreating westward, in order to delay the pursuit of Huaidong, he abandoned more than 20,000 soldiers to disrupt Jiangning. The Huaidong Army had no troops and horses chasing from Jiangning, except for a part of Shuying, which was chasing along the river but moving slowly.

She Feihu led his troops to the mouth of the Yiyang River day and night, and ran for more than 150 miles day and night. The speed was not unpleasant. The pontoon bridge set up by the soldiers and horses to withdraw before the horse was still there. She Feihu breathed a sigh of relief. .

Even though it is still nearly two hundred miles away from Qingyang, as long as it crosses the Geyang River, the Jiuzi Mountains and ravines are endless, extending all the way to the territory of Jiangzhou. Even if there were still troops and horses from the Huaidong Army chasing after them, it would be easy for six or seven thousand troops and horses to scatter into Jiuzi Mountain and withdraw.

She Feihu urged the soldiers and horses to move quickly, but when they reached the east bank of Yijiangyang, they saw black smoke in the Yijiang city on the other side of the river, rushing straight into the cloudy night. On the other side of the pontoon bridge, hundreds of Huaidong cavalry generals are waiting in battle, all bows and arrows are withdrawn and held in their hands, and the arrows are shining in the cold sunset...

She Feihu straddled the horse, his heart sinking like water, he was actually a step slower, and the way back was cut off like this.

At this time, the Huaidong Army on the other side came up with seven or eight prisoners in military uniforms from Zhejiang and Fujian, rushed to the pontoon, and drove these seven or eight people across the river with bows and arrows.

For some unknown reason, Yu Wenshan and the others were afraid that they were spies of the Huaidong Army, and they hurriedly dispatched soldiers to intercept them and bring them to them, but they saw that each of the people who came had written one character with blood on their vests, which together formed a total of eight characters: " The extravagant flying tiger abandons the crowd and escapes alone"!

Seeing these eight characters, She Feihu spurted out a mouthful of blood, and was about to fall to the ground... My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
