Chapter 1763 Heading East to Qingzhou

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lian Ming and his party were later discovered by officers and soldiers patrolling Gaotang County, and were then sent to the county.  Only then did Lian Ming tell the Gaotang officials his identity.

    The county magistrate of Gaotang did not dare to delay, and urgently reported to the county government.  Even the letter asking for help that Ming carried was sent to Xindu overnight.

    Huang Mingyuan didn¡¯t pay much attention to the situation in Qingzhou, and there was no splash here in history.  After Li Mi became powerful, the various regions of Qingyan surrendered to Li Mi. When Li Mi was defeated, the various regions of Qingyan surrendered to Li Yuan.

    As the saying goes: "Before the world is in chaos, Shu will be in chaos first." In fact, historically, before the world is in chaos, Shandong will be in chaos first.

    After Zhang Xutuo died, Huang Mingyuan still wanted to appease Zhang Yuanbei.  Later, Zhang Yuanbei took over the county to protect himself, and Huang Mingyuan focused his attention on Guanzhong again, so he did not spare any time to take care of Zhang Yuanbei.

    The land of Qingzhou is not an important place.  Moreover, Huang Mingyuan also reserved backup forces. The Youhou Guards who had been stationed in Lushun were preparing to pacify Qingzhou.

    Huang Mingyuan wanted to wait before opening the Qingzhou copy, but now Zhang Yuanbei's request for help forced Huang Mingyuan to send troops in advance.

    If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for him to affect Huang Mingyuan's plan, but when Zhang Yuanbei asked for help, Huang Mingyuan had to save him.

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Yuanbei is arrogant, but that Zhang Xutuo is kind to Huang Mingyuan.  When he was in Wuzhou, Huang Mingyuan sent someone to ask Zhang Xutuo for help.  Although it was Zheng Yanqing who killed Yu Xu and Zhang Xutuo was able to send troops, he must also admit that without Zhang Xutuo's troops, he would not have been able to completely defeat Wang Wenjin's rebellion, and he would not have been able to serve as the governor of Wuzhou.

    I am afraid that it will be a few years later before I can reach this position, and no one knows what will happen next, step by step, step by step.

    This is a great favor.

    So Huang Mingyuan immediately ordered Wang Bian, who was stationed in Dongchang County, to lead the main force of the Hekong Guard to cross the river and march eastward to support Qi County.

    At the same time, Cai Zhiyun, who was far away in Lushun, was ordered to serve as the general manager of the march on Qingzhou Road. He led the troops of the Youhou Guards to cross the sea from Lushun and go south to attack the counties of Qingzhou.

    He also transferred Zhang Fangxin, the former governor of Bohai County, to serve as the pacifier of Qingzhou, responsible for the transportation of grain and the work of pacifying the deposed emperor.

    At the same time, Li Jing was ordered to lead the main force of the Yingyang Guards to Gongxian County of Jijun to prepare for the southern crossing.

    With Huang Mingyuan issuing orders one by one, a new round of war is finally about to begin.  Fortunately, it was already May, and the autumn harvest was just around the corner. It wouldn't be long before Hebei would usher in a bumper harvest. Otherwise, if we use troops rashly, we might be out of money.

    No one expected that a new war would suddenly start, but Duke Wei gave an order, and everyone must follow Duke Wei's order.

    As the battle line becomes longer and longer, Huang Mingyuan's original military strength is also somewhat stretched.

    Huang Mingyuan also ordered to recruit 30,000 troops and build a new guard to guard the hinterland of Hebei and serve as a reserve for the army.

    Wang Bian in Liaocheng was the first to take action after receiving the order.

    Before Wang Bian joined Huang Mingyuan¡¯s camp, his official position was not high, but he was actually a veteran with extremely high qualifications.  However, because his grandfather Wang Xun was an official by providing grain to the army, his status in Guanlong was not high.

    Wang Bian is already in his fifties this year. During his stay in Hebei, it was clear that Huang Mingyuan's actions had exceeded the boundaries of a courtier.  As a colleague, he should advise, and as a minister of the emperor, he has the obligation to report the matter to the emperor.

    But Wang Bian did not do this.

    If the world were prosperous and peaceful, of course he would follow the emperor's footsteps, but when the world is in chaos, heroes and heroes emerge in large numbers, the emperor may not be able to control the affairs of Hebei.

    Wang Bian himself, judging the situation between Sui Dynasty and Wei Gong, was more willing to choose Wei Gong.

    Having cleared his mind, Wang Bian is extremely active in doing things.  He knew that he was not as affectionate as the old generals of Duke Wei, and his abilities were not extraordinary, so the only thing he could do was to fulfill his duties, do his best, and obey Duke Wei's orders.

    As a force close to Qingzhou, Henan, Wang Bian had actually been prepared to advance eastward early in the morning.  On the third day after Duke Wei's order was sent to Liaocheng, Wang Bian swore to break camp and lead his army across the river.

    Thirty thousand soldiers, mighty and majestic.  Hundreds of warships fought against all odds.

    Soon everyone crossed the Yellow River and arrived at Qijun's territory.

    At this time, Lian Ming also followed Kong Hewei to march eastward, serving as a guide for the three armies.

    Based on the situation described by Lian Ming, Wang Bian guessed that Wang Bo was unaware of the news about the Sui army's main force eastward.  Therefore, in order to encircle Wang Bo's main force, he ordered General Su Yong to lead the army's light cavalry to march eastward, from the south of Licheng, to the east of Wang Bo's camp, and to block the eastward escape route of Wang Bo's troops.

    He also ordered Xu Huzi to lead an army, after crossing Jishui to the east, they went north along the south bank of Jishui to join Luo Shixin's troops and encircle and annihilate Yan Xuanzheng's bandits.

    Wang Bian, on the other hand, personally led the main force of the Konghe Guard eastward to face Wang Bo's army.

    Wang Bo and Yan Xuanzheng's bandit army totaled about 50,000 to 60,000 people, a considerable part of whom were threatened refugees.  Of course, the two have been bandits for many years, and they also have a reliable bandit army, but the number is not large.

    At this time, the main force of the Control Crane Guard came from the east, totaling 30,000, and most of them were elites who had been on the battlefield. This was not comparable to Wang Bo and Yan Xuanzheng.

    Wang Bian's army arrived more than ten miles west of Licheng, and Wang Bo's scouts discovered it.  An army of tens of thousands of people suddenly arrived, and Wang Bo was shocked.

    Seeing the magnificent appearance of this army, with men and horses like dragons, Wang Bo felt fearful and decided to retreat.  It's just that the other party arrived suddenly, and the two sides were only a dozen miles apart.  Once his troops retreat rashly, the enemy will probably arrive before they finish cleaning up.

    When Wang Bo encountered this army while retreating, he knew without a second thought that his army would be defeated.

    So Wang Bo had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the enemy.

    The strength of the Hebei Sui Army was not the strength of individual combat power, but the strength of the system established by Huang Mingyuan.  First, the military merit field system allows soldiers to have no worries at any time, even if they die in battle.

    Another point is the training mechanism and combat mechanism of the Hebei Sui Army.

    The Sui army in Hebei adopted unified recruitment and training. According to the infantry, cavalry, and archer drills designed by Huang Mingyuan, every soldier was almost a creature on the assembly line.

    According to different terrains during battle, soldiers put up different formations to meet the enemy.

    It may be a little rigid when facing the enemy, but the horse, infantry, bow, chariot, artillery and other arms cooperate in an orderly manner and cooperate with each other.  Because they have practiced with each other many times, they can easily face the enemy without even requiring the command of a commander.

    There are even trainings for retreat and defeat. Soldiers on the battlefield follow the training exactly and can handle it easily without exerting any effort.  That's why the Sui army in Hebei was extremely powerful.

    Looking at Wang Bo's bandit army preparing to form an array, Wang Bian waved the command flag in his hand, and the big flag behind him began to wave.  All the ministries obeyed the order and began to advance slowly towards the bandit army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
