In the new plan of Feng'an City, a new city was built in the southwest corner of the city, specifically for resettle family members of senior officers.
Yang Hongyang's trip to Zhenwu Army has gained a lot. Not only did he persuade Liu Mian to agree to send troops to help Yang Hao attack Dong Bazheng, but he also told Liu Mian to agree to solve Dong Bazheng's problem before he sent troops south. This means that he had to help Yang Hao defeat Dong Bazheng first, and then he asked Yang Hao to fulfill his promise not to send troops to interfere in Hedong.
This undoubtedly showed great sincerity, and for Yang Hao, his own risk was reduced to the minimum. As for how Yang Hongyang did this, Yang Hao was not interested in knowing it, but his impression of Yang Hongyang is really good now.
The person who came to Feng'an with Yang Hongyang was Li Xuzhou, the counselor of Liu Mian. His purpose was to finalize the specific details of the dispatch of troops with Yang Hao. Yang Hao and Li Xuzhou had a face-to-face secret talk.
Li Xuzhou asked Yang Hao how many troops he had. Yang Hao answered about 10,000 yuan. Li Xuzhou seemed a little disbelief and asked again what the proportion of infantry and cavalry in each battalion was. Yang Hao replied: "The enemies in Fengzhou are on the grassland, and almost all battalions are cavalry, with only a small number of infantry."
Li Xuzhou smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is also known for his cavalry. Cavalry is suitable for field battles. He is afraid that he may not be able to gain a advantage when attacking the high-walled cities with heavy troops defending in Hedong. It seems that we can only lead Dong Bazhong out to attack,"
These words came to Yang Hao's heart. The battle in Suizhou made Yang Hao feel a lot. He found that the various battalions of the Xining Army had been continuously tempered and greatly improved their combat effectiveness. Especially in field offensive and defense, whether it was the Shence Army or the Xia Sui Army, on the front battlefield, one battalion of the Xining Army swept two or three thousand people without any effort.
However, it seems a bit clumsy when siegeing. Cavalry must maintain a high degree of mobility, so they cannot carry heavy siege weapons. Relying on simple ladders alone, even if they deal with small cities like Yinzhou, it will be difficult to fight. If you want to attack Hedong with deep ditches and high bases and heavy troops defend, it will naturally be difficult to reach the sky.
Li Xuzhou is worthy of being the counselor of Zhenwu Army. He hit the nail on the head in one sentence, but Dong Bazheng is also an expert. How could he not know the principle of the conflict between infantry and cavalry, and how could he sacrifice his own strengths and leave the fortresses that are defending heavily to fight against Fengzhou, where the cavalry is dominant?
Yang Hao tsk his mouth and said, "Sir, it's a good plan, but what can I do to lure Dong Bazheng into the battle?"
Li Xuzhou smiled and said, "Even if you and I ask him, he may not be willing to leave Taiyuan, so he can only ask someone to help."
"Sir, please tell me clearly."
"The general's sworn brother Shi Xiong."
Yang Hao laughed and said, "I'm not to hide it from Mr. Linzhou. General Shi is not interested in attacking Hedong. Although my second brother is in the formation of thousands of troops, he has a Bodhisattva heart. He can't stand the people's lives."
Li Xuzhou frowned and said, "If General Shi refuses to help, then he has to ask General Ma for help."
"Ma Yue?" Yang Hao was shocked. He had almost forgotten this person.
He obtained thirteen counties south of the Yellow River during the civil strife of Tiande Army, which was very popular for a while. However, Ma Yue, who was the master of the country, had a poor land and sparse household registration, and was unable to support the thousands of troops in his hands. It was difficult for officials to be a bandit. However, the natural conditions in the local area were too bad, and he looked all over the yellow sand. He crossed the river north to rob the Tiande Army, but was blocked by Zhu Kong's navy and could not pass. He wanted to plunder Fengzhou westward, but the troops had not yet gathered, and he received a warning letter from Park Enjun.
Park Enjun told him that if he dared to advance westward, he would cross the river to take over his nest Lin Danghai. Ma Yue had no choice but to rob Shengzhou eastward. Liu Mian deliberately showed weakness and lured the enemy to the city of Shengzhou. The general of Zhenwu Army Be Siguo led the main force of Zhenwu Army to fight. Ma Yue was defeated and fled back to Lin Danghai in a panic.
Don't think that the 30,000 troops were advancing together, and Ma Yue had nowhere to escape, so he had to sign an alliance under the city and ceded the six counties close to the Zhenwu Army to the Zhenwu Army. As a result, his vitality was greatly damaged.
Yang Hao said: "I just don't know if General Ma is willing to help this."
Li Xuzhou sneered and said, "If he dares not help, he will not be afraid that you and me will attack each other and destroy this guy first."
Yang Hao nodded silently and said, "Sir, please give me some advice, how will General Ma come to help this?"
Li Xuzhou stood up and walked to the map, pointing to Langu, an important town in the east and west of the river, and said, "We ask General Ma to send troops to attack Langu, which is to say that it was a harassment of the horse bandits. Don't think about the opportunity to cross the Zishui south on the grounds of suppressing the rebellion and restrain the defenders of Shuozhou. The troops in Lanzhou need to be guarded against Linzhou. Only Dong Bare can escape the siege."
Yang Hao pondered: "What if Dong Baji could not hide, what if he did?"
Li Xuzhou laughed and said, "Then he is not Dong Bazheng, Dong Bazheng will definitely come out. As long as his main force comes out of Taiyuan, General Liu will rush his army to the south to cut off his retreat. At that time, the general can wield the Dragon Slaying Sword to avenge his previous shame."
Yang Hao laughed and said, "What sir said is very consistent with my wish. I think this matter is settled."
The two agreed on specific matters such as the time to send troops, the route of the army, and other specific matters. Li Xuzhou rushed back to Zhenwu Army overnight. Yang Hongyang also said goodbye to Yang Hao. Yang Hao asked, "I heard that you have an old relationship with Lord Li Shi? I don't know, can you still have contacts now?"
Yang Hongyang said: "Mr. Li has an old age with his father. My younger brother often goes to his house to ask for poetry and essays. What did the elder brother hear?"
Yang Hao smiled and said, "This is not, it's just... in extraordinary times, please be careful about it."
Prime Minister Li Shi was the object of the Crown Prince Li Yong's intentional pursuit. Yang Hao suddenly mentioned him at this moment, so he must have some advice, and without saying anything, he must have something to hide. Yang Hongyang said: "Thank you for your care, I will remind Lord Li."
Yang Hao did have a hard time hiding. In the early morning, he received a secret report from Zhang Cheng that someone spent a huge amount of money to rent a mansion next to the mansion of Prime Minister Li Shi from the ghost gang, and people with unknown identities often came in and out. Zhang Cheng speculated that someone might want to assassinate Li Shi. Li Shi had a marriage with King Ying Li Yan, but because of this, Yang Hao was inconvenient to say it very clearly. However, depending on the situation, Yang Hongyang had already understood his intention.
...
Shengzhou Governor's Office.
Li Xuzhou rushed back from Feng'an without stopping. Before he could even wash his face, Liu Mian's servants came out to bring him to Liu Mian's study. In the study, the Zhenwu Army battalions gathered together, and Liu Mian's treasure "Picture of Rivers and Mountains in the North" was hung on the wall on the front of the study.
"Hualin, how are you?"
As soon as Li Xuzhou entered the house, Liu Mian asked anxiously.
"Thank you, the coach, Hong Fu, the students will live up to their mission."
There was a sound of praise in the room, and all the generals smiled and looked like the New Year.
"Okay!" Liu Mian clapped his hands, "All the generals obey orders and implement them according to the prescribed plan."
At this time, Liu Mian had nearly 20,000 troops, and the main force was Zhenwu's Left Army, Right Army and the newly surrendered Turkic Zhongyi Army. In July of the second year of Kaicheng, the Turkic troops in Zhenwu rebelled and plundered the camp. Liu Mian sent his army to destroy it. He collected 3,000 of his elite troops and organized them into Zhongyi Army. After the generals dispersed, they returned to their base camp.
The Left Army Deputy Commander Qi Gu Hai returned to the camp of Dongshoujiang City and asked her concubine Liu to pack her clothes. Liu said unhappily: "Even a year is not safe. If you leave, don't come back again." Liu's family was 17 years old, beautiful and willful. Qi Gu Hai was as fond of as a pearl in his hand. Seeing her angry, he hurriedly coaxed her and said: "This time it's a big deal, and you will be back within half a month."
Liu said, "You coax me again. Where can I fight around Zhenwu Army? You won't be crazy about going to Hedong, right?"
Qi Guhai laughed and said, "Hedong is naturally not allowed to fight, but Fengzhou can still fight. Fengzhou has twelve large farms. The general said that when Fengzhou is captured, the army commanders and deputy army commanders can get a farm. But let your incompetent brother take care of it, it is better than he is shaking around all day long."
