Speaking of this, the elegant and virtuous man paused and said, "You led the remaining brothers down. This is your adoptive father’s last wish, and you must do it."
"adoptive father!" Su Dingfang tearfully said
Elegant sage said, "Don’t want me to hate childlike behavior. A gentleman should cherish having a body and doing something. You are still young and don’t accompany me. Although the prince of Zhao was born in poverty, he is a master. Don’t live up to the expectations of your adoptive father."
Shortly after that, all the soldiers in Su Dingfang wept bitterly and elegant Xian swallowed his last breath.
Finally, more than 100 Xia Jun in Su Dingfang’s armory surrendered and besieged the city, and asked Xu Shiji for instructions.
Levin’s bloody battle came to an end, leaving Levin City almost a white land. Although the two armies did not intend to slaughter it, the tragic street fighting made the residents in the city also nine times out of ten. After Levin broke the city, Zhao Junzhong will visit the city with Xu Shiji, but he still sees traces of fierce fighting around the city.
The foot soldiers were busy converging the corpses of the civilians of the two armies and pushing one car after another.
Seeing this, Xue Wanjun couldn’t help saying, "It’s not worth the loss to attack this Gaoyang City. If every city in Xia Jun is so desperate, our army will attack Hebei even if it is ten years."
Weichi Gong said, "Don’t attack the city unless you have to. Our army has 3,000 casualties."
General Zhao Tingyan said, "Fortunately, Xia Jun can hold on to the heavy city in Hebei Province, and there is only one left in Mianzhou. After attacking Levin City, the route for providing foodstuff in Mianzhou has been opened, even if it is not through Yongji Canal, it can continue to arrive by land."
Xu Shiji heard the news and nodded and said, "People say that all the soldiers have worked hard today, and have a rest for a day, and then attack the summer in the south and send a good news to Liyang, saying that our army has attacked Gaoyang."
After the news of the capture of Zhao in Gaoyang City came out, the defenders of the cities in Xia Jun, the letter capital, were fighting again. First, the river county, the county, and then the letter capital county, also the Yinghe Foetuo grassland, rode on the offensive county, and all the counties were surrendered.
Ying Hefu’s General Begging for Ah Shu led the Qingqi to break through the giant Lucheng in Xiangguo County, Li Tang, and directly entered Wu ‘an County, Liu Heita. In the north of Daying State, there was a vanguard scout cavalry of Shi Xi’s department.
At the same time marked to record Guo Xiaoke led marked also continue to advance.
Most of the 15,000 troops of the marked army were soldiers of the Han army in Liaoxi County, and after Guo Xiaoke captured Yanshan County in Bohai County, he led the army to the south.
Li Deyi, the bandits in the plains county, used to be Liu’s overbearing staff. At the beginning, the people in the plains gathered in the tens of thousands, and the uncle army occupied Douhang, which was also a warlord in the rebel army. After Liu’s overbearing death, Li Deyi continued to command the headquarters and remained the uncle army.
Li Deyi’s two counties in Bohai Plain fought guerrilla warfare for several years, but since the death of Li’s bullying, Auntie’s army has gone from bad to worse. All the small counties and towns nearby can be taken. The rest are big counties and big cities, but Auntie’s army can’t attack. After hearing that Zhao Jun came to attack Xia Jun, Li Deyi took the initiative to lead tens of thousands of bandits to surrender.
Guo Xiaoke was born with a rebellious background. For a knave like Li Deyi, he naturally comes to the net. When Guo Xiaoke made a sudden attempt to replace Li Deyi with tens of thousands of bandits, he opened the way.
Li Deyi promised to lead my uncle’s army and lead the way. My uncle’s army is a local strongman. They are not familiar with this Hebei border, so they all see similar scenes in Xia Jun counties along the road.
The front is a thousand Qingqi without saddles, riding bare-backed steeds, and the cavalry is ahead of the mountain. A few pieces of slanting flags of my uncle’s army are fluttering in the wind, and it is dark like locusts crossing the border. 30,000 to 40,000 foot soldiers are crossing the border with rakes, hoes, axes and rags like flowers.
After my uncle’s army, thousands of brave and tough cavalry rolled in, and then well-equipped soldiers of Zhao’s foot soldiers.
Every time the road meets a city, the Zhao army successively goes to bring up the rear, while the Auntie army is under the banner of all kinds of threats in the former city. Li Deyi simply erected two flags, one saying that the city surrendered and the other saying that it would be washed after the city was broken.
The defenders of the city are dismissive when they see the uncle army like a mob, but they dare not neglect when they see the Zhao troops in bring up the rear far behind.
It is rare for bandits to join the regular army, but Zhao Jun is famous for fighting, and Auntie’s army is a local strongman. If the cities in Bohai County can resist this, the officials and defenders of the cities in Bohai will surrender one after another.
It’s really a mistake for Guo Xiaoke to keep his promise by leaving a few troops stationed outside the surrender city. Guo Xiaoke will even surrender to Xia Jun officials and go with the army to let them show up and say that the cities along the way will surrender for Zhao.
The effect was so good that Zhao Jun broke seven cities in a row, but the county of Bohai County ruled Yangxin City and touched the nail.
Xia Jun Chief kept his word, so Guo Xiaoke Li Deyi led Zhao Jun and Auntie Army to attack the city in half a day, and the number of the city was ten times more than that of the defenders. Zhao Jun committed suicide by swallowing gold after breaking the city, and Guo Xiaoke promised Auntie Army to wash the city of Yangxin.
With the example of Yangxin, when all the counties in Hebei are ministers in Guo Xiaoke’s arrogance, many cities are defending the banner of the uncle army, that is, the city surrendered early, and Guo Xiaoke Li Deyi led the army almost without bloodshed and went south to break through the two counties in Bohai Plain.
It is not only Guo Xiaoke who didn’t expect that the rear camp was located in Wenyanbo, but also exclaimed.
Zhao Zhao’s war situation is that Li Chong’s 930,000-strong army went deep into Weichi Gong West Road alone, and the letter of the army was frustrated by the return of Liu Heita fire to the river. Xu Shiji stationed in the middle route army. Levin City was still a bloody battle, but Guo Xiaoke was the first to attack Qinghe County by attacking the city in 500 miles.
Even the news that Gao Yangcheng was struggling hard for Xu Shiji to hear that Guo Xiaoke had attacked two counties shook his head in a row, saying that this general who was born in Wagang with him was really good.
When Guo Xiaoke’s troops entered Qinghe County, Qinghe County ruled Linqing town Guantao early, and Li Chong’s 930,000 water troops had already surrendered when they attacked along the river. The road ahead of Guo Xiaoke’s East Road Army was even smoother, and Guo Xiaoke Li Deyi took advantage of the situation to enter Guantao City and sat here. Guo Xiaoke dispatched 6,000 cavalry to cross Yongjiqu to rescue Liyang City.
This time, more than counties in Qinghe County don’t even wait for the flag of Zhao, but also wait and see. The county commanders voluntarily surrendered to Qinghe County, and it was generally pacified.
In fact, after the army of Zhao Jundong Road arrived in Linqing, it has already got through the back road of Liyang City. Li Chongjiu is not alone all the way.
The situation of Li Chongjiu’s Hebei war against Liu Heita is already very long. Liu Heita is trapped in Mingzhou and can’t move. Li Chongjiu is in Liyang. Although there are two armies of Wang Bo in Li Shentong, it seems to be in a difficult situation.
However, with the arrival of Guo Xiaoke’s army in Linqing, the cavalry will reinforce Liyang City in two or three days, and the grassland riders will arrive in Mianzhou in a few days, while Xu Shiji’s Weichi Gong Zhao Junfu Army will arrive in Mianzhou in ten days. At the beginning, Zhang Xuansu’s strategy of converging attack was achieved.
Even Wang Bo came to Wuyang County to plunder, and as a result, he was afraid that the main force of Zhao arrived and also retired from the Yellow River.
Li Chongjiu, who was sitting in Liyang City, heard that Guo Xiaoke’s East Route Army was making rapid progress, and that Linqing had sent a sudden expedition to help. At the same time, Xue Wanche Luo Shixin came from Qishui, and they broke the Li Shentong grain fleet and burned more than a dozen Tang Jun grain ships on the bank of Yongji Canal.
Li Chongjiu couldn’t help laughing after hearing the news. Xue Wanshu advised Li Chongjiu that "the sudden record of the army has led to the safety of Liyang City, which is a worry, and it is the opportunity to beat Li Shentong out of the city."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "It is with this intention that we ordered three thousand foot soldiers to stay and guard Liyang City, and more than five thousand troops went out of the city. In addition, Li Wenxiang led Hebei to drop the army and meet with us."
Li Chongjiu ordered Xue Wanshu to stay in Liyang after one.
