The ninth chapter Liaodong situation (5)
Not long after Hou Xiyi took his army out, the officers left in the city and those above the rank of the seventh rank (at the seventh rank) came to Wang Xuanzhi's mansion to visit his condition.
Wang Xuanzhi's illness was about to recover, but with the emergence of Han Chaoyang and the Sacred Ye Jun, the condition inevitably worsened a little. However, these people came not long ago and brought a lot of gifts. Now they are here again. Could it be that they have heard about Sacred Ye Jun?
At this time of chaos, Wang Xuanzhi was unwilling to be too alienated to his subordinates, so he had to hold back and sit up to meet him.
I saw a group of people coming in under the leadership of Li Huaide.
Li Huaide is the governor of the reign of the state. From the third rank, he was second only to Wang Xuanzhi in the Andong Protectorate, so he was naturally the leader. However, when Wang Xuanzhi saw Li Huaide, he suddenly thought of something.
Thinking of this, his illness was cured several times.
"Meet the Prophet"
Originally, the position of the PRINCE was held by the prince or the prime minister, but since An Lushan, it has become a decree for the military general to serve as the PRINCE. Now the war is in chaos, and people like Wang Xuanzhi have also become the PRINCE.
"you......"
When Wang Xuanzhi saw the hint of lust on Li Huaide's face, he fully understood.
He pointed his finger at Li Huaide, and was excited and choked.
Li Huaide's face also flashed with a hint of unbearableness, but he still bowed to Wang Xuanzhi, "Major Protector, I'm sorry, the situation has changed now. With our strength, it may be difficult to guard the Protectorate's Mansion, so..."
"Come!"
Wang Xuanzhi completely understood.
"Li Huaide is a relative of the Khitan rebels. His ancestors happened to be in Luoyang at that time, so they did not participate in the rebellion of Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong. After the imperial court wiped out the rebellion, he still refused to blame him and let his team come to rule the remaining Khitan rebels. Unexpectedly, it would eventually lead to disaster! And then Sun Xiurong was the true Khitan rebels. Bai Xiaode was able to come here, either for Li Huaide!"
"Come!"
"Come!"
Wang Xuanzhi screamed a few times, but there was no response. Li Huaide nodded to a person beside him. The man pulled out his sword and stabbed Wang Xuanzhi!
Wang Xuanzhi died half a year earlier than in history.
After killing Wang Xuanzhi, surrounded by everyone, Li Huaide "barely took over the position of the Great Protectorate of Andong Protectorate", and then Li Huaide pushed Han Chaoyang out again.
"Everyone, this person is a close confidant of the traitor An Lushan. He lurked here to convince Wang Xuanzhi to surrender to the traitor. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity and saw through his conspiracy. Wang Xuanzhi has been killed now, so this person must not be kept!"
After saying that, he stabbed Han Chaoyang, who was stuffed with a bunch of rags in his mouth.
"Protector!"
"Protector!"
With the death of Wang Xuanzhi and Han Chaoyang, and the departure of the most elite Hou Xiyi's troops from Wang Xuanzhi, Li Huaide completely controlled Xiangping City!
......
At this time, Liaodong was full of rivers and depressions, and it was even muddy in summer. However, after the Tang Dynasty controlled this land, post roads were also built between Xiangping City where the Protectorate was located and the governor's offices of various corpses, mainly building floating bridges on various rivers.
After leaving Xiangping, Hou Xiyi marched northwest. As the heavy rain had just passed, the army was moving very slowly. When he walked to the vicinity of the Hunhe River in Later generations, he had only walked halfway. At this time, the sky was already very dark. This was also his army. It was impossible for him to walk forty miles in one day on any other Anton army.
When we walked here, Hou Xiyi said intimately: "Actually, it's enough to get here. There are still twenty or thirty miles ahead, and it's really inappropriate to cross the river. Besides, when the army travels, it's important to be safe. It's sandwiched between two rivers. Even if the Ye army suddenly attacks and is blocked by the river, they won't succeed soon."
(Two rivers refer to Hunhe and Taizi River)
So he ordered camping.
At this time, there were a large number of Han people and Goguryeo farmers. When they saw a large army coming from Xiangping City, they had already dragged their sons and daughters to run far away. However, there were all horses nearby. Although Hou Xiyi's subordinates were mainly infantry, there were still one hundred cavalry soldiers. Seeing this, they couldn't help but get angry from their hearts. After Hou Xiyi gave the order, one hundred cavalry went out everywhere, and soon brought back a large number of young men and women.
These men and women were driving large trucks, with food on them, and some were driving cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and other animals. Hou Xiyi ordered the killing of a few young men who looked like the leader, and then ordered the young men to cook for them and camp them.
As for the senior officers, each of them naturally hugged a peasant woman of some beauty and went to rest.
Hou Xiyi is still a good military discipline in the Andong army, and you can imagine how other people are.
Hou Xiyi turned a blind eye to all this. In his opinion, even if he killed a few people and only picked a few peasant women to serve him, they would definitely be considered compassionate. If he met Dong Qin and others, he would have to slaughter the nearby villages.
That night, Hou Xiyi arranged only a small number of people to guard the Hunhe River, and the floating bridge on the Taizi River fell asleep behind the Hutian and Hudi.
In the middle of the night, all Hou Xiyi's troops fell asleep, and even the people guarding the floating bridge were tilted. In Hou Xiyi's opinion, the Snow Ye Army had a purpose to come here alone, but they were the guest army, and they were the main army, and they were guarding the two big rivers with flooding water. Naturally, they were foolproof. He could not think of any reason for Snow Ye Army to come and attack them.
But he was obviously wrong.
Before dawn, when Anton's army was sleeping the most, Bai Xiaode's two thousand cavalry swam up the Hun River and easily captured it.
When they swaggered to Hou Xiyi's camp, Hou Xiyi, who was known as a famous general in Liaodong, did not notice them at all!
Seeing this, Bai Xiaode couldn't help but shook his head and sighed in his heart.
In fact, when Han Chaoyang left, Bai Xiaode had made several plans for what might happen next:
If Han Chaoyang told Wang Xuanzhi to come and see him, he would naturally kill him with one knife and then assist Li Huaide in taking over Xiangping City;
If Wang Xuanzhi had all his troops to attack, he would naturally not be afraid, and this was what he hoped for;
What I fear most is that Wang Xuanzhi ignores his concern and allows him to camp in the wilderness.
What he didn't expect was that Wang Xuanzhi did not come, but Hou Xiyi, the most powerful general under his command, came.
In fact, it was Hou Xiyi's inadvertent actions last night that helped the Snow Ye Army. When he learned that the famous Snow Ye Army came to attack the evil Andong Army, there was no unhappy nearby farmers and herders. Not only did he take the initiative to conceal the news for them, but he also helped them build a floating bridge.
From this scene, we can see that with the power of the Tang Dynasty, a mere Andong Protectorate (later Liaoning Province) actually only set up one city, and the surrounding area can only be governed by banished states. Whether it was the rebellion of Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong in rebellion or the later invasion of the Bohai Kingdom, the local households would rather follow the rebels and leave the enemy than stay in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, since An Lushan became the governor of Pinglu, he has completely instilled the way of leading troops in the jurisdiction of the Jiedu region, and indulging the army will treat the surrounding tribes and the people in the jurisdiction.
There was no suspense. Although Hou Xiyi had hurrying up after he woke up, about a thousand barely prepared infantry troops, in a daze, it did not exist to resist the impact of the cavalry of the Thunder Ye Camp. When it was dawn, most of Bai Xiaode's two thousand cavalry generals Hou Xiyi's troops were wiped out, and only a few people ran into the river to escape the disaster.
As for Hou Xiyi and Tian Shengong, the two of them were brave and took the initiative to fight with their cavalry. However, Hou Xiyi was killed on the spot by Bai Xiaode's double iron spear, while the more brave Tian Shengong died under the short crossbow of the cavalry of the Shattered Ye Army.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty lost two vassal states in the future. No one could tell whether it was a blessing or a disaster.
Ten days later, Bai Xiaode and Li Huaide took all the soldiers and civilians of Xiangping City to head towards Yingzhou. For Li Huaide and others, after killing Wang Xuanzhi, they could only follow the Thunder Ye Army to the dark. For thousands of households who were still near Xiangping City, without the protection of the army, if the Khitans came to kill them, they would be the lambs to be slaughtered.
What's more, the Suoye Army worked hard in the Jun army for five years. In addition to expanding its team, its reputation for treating the people well has also spread to a place with a radius of thousands of miles.
When the brigade arrived near Liucheng, news of the Shattered Ye Army entering Liaodong finally spread.
At this time, Liu Kenu and Dong Qin were also on their way back to Yingzhou with the remnants defeated by Shi Siming. Because Shi Siming was chasing him closely, they did not dare to enter Liucheng just like in history, but were preparing to go directly to Xiangping. At this time, they received news from Liaodong.
At this time, they were only a hundred miles away from Liucheng. After learning about this, Liu Kenu and Dong Qin had an argument.
Liu Kenu said: "Since Liaodong has been lost, it is not appropriate for us to return to Yingzhou again. It is better to go straight south. At that time, you may go to the beach to build reed rafts and cross the sea to the east and west coasts. You will make plans in Jilizhou. Although the Sailing Ye Army is powerful, it will not occupy Liaodong and not leave."
(Jilizhou, later generations of Gaizhou)
At this time, Dong Qin, who was originally brave and unstoppable, had already been destroyed by Shi Siming's silver-san Khitan's direct hand. At this time, the desire to survive in his heart prevailed.
He said: "Although the Shattered Ye Army captured Xiangping City and carried the soldiers and civilians to the west, they mostly followed the post road in the mountains to the junction. They had nothing to do with us. It would be better to wait here for a few days or come forward to pay voluntary visits. We have no grudges and grudges with him. At present, the Shattered Ye Army has not publicly opposed the Tang Dynasty. What's the point?"
At this time, how Xiangping City was taken down naturally had not yet reached the ears of the two of them. Liu Kenu nodded and sent a Du Yuhou under his command to Liucheng.
The next day, the Du Yuhou returned and secretly paid a visit to Liu Kenu.
The words brought back by Du Yuhou were: "As long as you kill Dong Qin and his subordinates, the Shattered Ye Army will give up all Yingzhou and Xiangping, and the general will be able to make progress based on these two places."
This suggestion was naturally rejected by Liu Kenu, but Dong Qin knew it.
On the same night, Dong Qin suddenly launched an attack and launched a fierce attack on the unprepared Liu Kenu's troops!
Half a day later, Liu Kenu's troops were almost completely lost, and Liu Kenu died this year as in history.
After killing Liu Kenu, Dong Qin simply turned around and turned to Shi Siming!
This section was something Bai Xiaode didn't expect.
However, with Liu Kenu's death and Dong Qin's journey to the west, the Pinglu army, which was still in Liucheng, had to surrender. This time, Bai Xiaode passed away and allowed them to go east to guard Xiangping City.
In Pingzhou, Shi Siming, who was about to send General Xu Guidao to Liucheng as the new governor, was also shocked when he learned about this.
He was very happy about Dong Qin's surrender. Dong Qin was cruel and unkind, but there were even more cruel people under his command. He was interested in Dong Qin's courage and more than a thousand elites under his command.
