On July 1, Huang Mingyuan swore an oath to defeat the bandits in the south of Ji County and sent troops south.
Huang Mingyuan personally led an army of 100,000 people, all the way south along the canal. After the army arrived in Nanpi, Huang Mingyuan ordered General Hu Lusheng to lead the Longxiang Army and Zhaoyi Army southward and enter Pingyuan County.
After the Xingtai was established, Huang Mingyuan represented Li Jing and led the prefect of Xindu County to fight against thieves here.
Xindu County is located in the middle of the counties in Hebei Province. It is connected to all counties and is the core location. Placing Li Jing in Xindu County not only prevented Li Jing from interfering in Xingtai affairs, but also allowed him to give full play to his military talents. After Li Jing left, Long Xiangjun and Huang Mingyuan were handed over to Hu Lusheng, who had just arrived from Fengzhou.
After Hu Lusheng resigned as the governor of Anbei, Huang Mingyuan stated that he was General Zuowuwei and led an army alone, which was not a problem.
Huang Mingyuan prefers fewer troops to more troops. There are too many troops, not to mention combat effectiveness. Logistics support alone is also a big problem. As a Bohai County, Huang Mingyuan did not think that a hundred thousand troops were needed, so he decided to divide the troops into two groups to reduce the logistical pressure.
And the Yongji Canal almost crosses Pingyuan County, which can also ensure the stability of logistics.
As a broad plain created by the Yellow River, Bohai County is almost a chosen place. With dense rivers, fertile land, a large population, and the benefits of fishing and salt, it has always been one of the richest counties in the world. In the fifth year of Daye, the population of Bohai County exceeded 120,000 households.
Douzihang in Bohai County was the earliest place of turmoil in Hebei. Ge Qian, Liu Badao, Zhang Jincheng and others once wreaked havoc here. Later, all the early thieves were eliminated, but the unrest in Bohai County did not decrease. At this time, most of Bohai County was occupied by Donghai Gong Gao Shida, and the area bordering Pingyuan County in the west was the sphere of influence of "Uncle's Army" Li Deyi.
Gao Shida originally originated from Gaojibo in Qinghe County, but later moved to Bohai County after the fall of Liu Badao. Different from other bandits, Gao Shida is not an ordinary bandit. He is a native of Quan County and comes from the Bohai Gao family. His current status is closely related to the support of the Bohai Gao family.
????????????? In fact, those who can be a big bandit must have all kinds of forces behind them.
After the Bohai Gao family was formed at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it gradually became more prosperous in the Western Jin Dynasty. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Bohai Gao family had become the representative of Shandong's noble families and entered its heyday. There are many branches of the Bohai Gao family, but the most famous one who was born in Quan County is Gao Jiong, the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Bohai Gao family did not decline. Instead, it became more prosperous and continued to prosper for more than 20 years.
After Gao Jiong was deposed, the Gao family suffered a heavy blow. Seeing that Yang Guang was cruel and unkind and the people in the north were in turmoil, the Gao family once again began to think about retaking the country. In this environment, Gao Shida gathered together and became an important part of the Gao family in Hebei.
Of course, the Gao family definitely did not admit to being involved with the rebels, but behind the scenes, they gave Gao Shida full support with manpower and material resources, which made Gao Shida more prosperous after the demise of the bandits.
It is said that the father of Gao Shida was Gao Renqian, the 13th son of Emperor Wucheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty, King of the East China Sea, Gao Renqian. It is difficult to tell the truth. After Gao Shida rebelled, he called himself Donghai Gong, which seemed quite similar.
Hearing that Huang Mingyuan went south, Gao Shida was shocked. Although he had a separate territory, he also knew that his strength was far inferior to that of Huang Mingyuan, so he was determined to withdraw southward.
But the Gao family disagreed.
After the fall of the Lu family, all the big families in Hebei were afraid of Huang Mingyuan. Moreover, everyone was even more worried that Huang Mingyuan would also measure land and collect commercial taxes in Bohai County, so they were extremely resistant to Huang Mingyuan's arrival.
The Gao family hopes that Gao Shida can fight Huang Mingyuan to buy time for their negotiations with Huang Mingyuan. In fact, the Gao family does not expect Gao Shida to defeat Huang Mingyuan. As long as Huang Mingyuan is frustrated, they can play the role of a local snake, and it will be much easier to negotiate interests with Huang Mingyuan.
Facing the strict orders from the Gao family, Gao Shida had no choice.
Not only was Gao Shida born in the Gao family, there were many generals in Gao Shida's army who were born in the Gao family. Almost all of their supplies of food, grass, ordnance came from the Gao family. He really didn't dare to disobey the Gao family's orders.
This army is Gao Shida¡¯s army, and it is also the Gao family¡¯s army.
Gao Shida is not a bandit or robber supported by the big family, but a member of the Gao family. This makes him naturally at a disadvantage in the game with the Gao family.
Gao Shida had no choice, so he concentrated his troops in Rao'an County (an old county southwest of Yanshan County, Hebei Province) to prepare for a city defense battle with the Sui army.
At this time, Gao Shida's military commander Ma Dou Jiande expressed his opposition.
After Dou Jiande fought out of his hometown, he led two hundred of his men to seek refuge with Gao Shida, and was later appointed as a commander, equivalent to a military commander.Minister of the Ministry of War. Later, Dou Jiande's good brother Sun Anzu was killed by Zhang Jincheng, and thousands of his soldiers all defected to Dou Jiande. From then on, Dou Jiande's team gradually grew to more than 10,000 people, becoming Gao Shida's first general.
Gao Shida wants to fight, but Dou Jiande is unwilling.
Dou Jiande suggested to Gao Shida: "Of all the generals in the Sui Dynasty, only Wei Gong is the one who can fight. He has rested in Youzhou for several months, and his troops are at their peak. At this time, it is inevitable to go south to attack our army. Their morale is high and they are unstoppable. If our army rashly engages them in battle, they will definitely lose.
"It would be better if our army chose to avoid Duke Wei's main force and wander around the counties, making them unable to fight even if they wanted to, and delaying him for several months in vain. When the main force of the Sui army is tired and tired, our army will take the opportunity to catch them off guard, and we will definitely win a great victory. "
Usually Gao Shida trusted Dou Jiande, but this time he did not agree.
Dou Jiande repeatedly persuaded Gao Shida and finally forced Gao Shida to have no choice but to say angrily: "Retreat, retreat, retreat, don't I want to retreat, but now our lifeline is all in the hands of others, and they don't let me retreat, how can I?" retreat."
Dou Jiande also knew the relationship between Gao Shida and the Gao family, so he stopped talking at this time.
Back in the army, Dou Jiande said to his subordinates and confidants: "Donghai Duke is controlled by others and does not even have the right to decide whether to advance or retreat independently. It seems that this battle is going to be lost."
At this time, Dou Jiande's step-sibling, Cao, said: "Since Duke Donghai cannot be assisted, why don't you abandon Duke Donghai and go away to separate your own territory? It is better than being here as a minister."
Although Cao is only a woman, she is Dou Jiande who defected to Dou Jiande with her family's power. She is resourceful, brave and good at adapting, so she has a strong voice around Dou Jiande.
Dou Jiande was confused: "In the past, I was down and out, and it was Duke Donghai who took me in, so I had a place to live. If I abandon him today, wouldn't it be against morality?"
Ms. Cao didn¡¯t say much. She knew her husband very well. Although Dou Jiande was a thief, he was not a real thief. In fact, he was not fully adapted to this troubled world where etiquette and music had collapsed.
One day, the husband will understand that morality is worthless in the face of interests. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
