Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 673

Li Gande didn't know that Lu Qi's navy had assembled in Qiongzhou. He was nearly [-] years old and had been on the throne for nearly [-] years. He had a strong control over the Li Dynasty in South Vietnam.In particular, two years ago, the army of the Li Dynasty captured Wei Pang, the head of Niuhouman Masha Cave in the Tuojiang River Basin, and returned hundreds of people.Let all the barbarians in the entire Li Dynasty submit to his feet.

Therefore, this time Li Chao took advantage of the fire to rob Zhao Song and steal the chickens and dogs in the Central Plains. With his insistence, he won the approval of the entire Li Chao and the public.

After experiencing the tempering of the Song Yue Xining War, South Vietnam's fear of the Central Plains Dynasty has faded a lot.The strength of the latter is very strong, and the South Vietnamese Army is far from being an opponent in a real fighting battle.The elephant army they held to compete with Chenla [Angkor Dynasty] was not very powerful under the strong bows and crossbows of the Central Plains army and the poisonous smoke of fireworks.

However, the mountains and rivers in the northern part of South Vietnam are a natural moat that cannot be overcome.Just like the last war, the Song army drove them back to South Vietnam cleanly.It even seized several states and counties on the border, and then faced rivers and rivers, but they couldn't use all their strength.Day after day of delaying with the South Vietnamese army, many of their soldiers and horses were infected with diseases, so they had no choice but to dismiss the soldiers and return to the division.

The South Vietnamese army did a lot of things in Yongzhou, but in the end they didn't hurt them at all.

With the reality in front of us, most of the fear of the Central Plains in the South Vietnam has disappeared.Because the unfavorable factors for the Central Plains army to enter South Vietnam are water and soil, climate, and disease.These things cannot be reversed in a short time.

If Li Gande wants to take advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and get a share of the pie, he has nothing to fear.

That's why he boldly raised his troops to invade Yongzhou without taking any advantage.

Facts have proved that this decision is correct.Shangguanheng, the magistrate of Yongzhou, is a good man in literature and politics, but weak in military affairs.Even if another Liu Zhengyan came, Li Gande didn't pay much attention to it.

that's the truth.The South Vietnamese army made very smooth progress, attacking cities and strongholds, and soon took over several states [South Vietnamese states].

Throughout July, the most frequently heard news in Shenglong Mansion was that the county town and military city were destroyed again, and this time the officials of the Han people did not escape;

The good news is like the waves of the sea, one wave after another without ever stopping.Li Gande was very happy in his heart.

Of course, the South Vietnamese Army didn't always win every battle, and Liu Zhengyan didn't just eat for nothing.He is in charge of Yongzhou's military affairs, and he still has some vision in war, and he is a good hand at picking persimmons and picking soft ones.But after all, it was just a small victory, and it didn't help the general situation.Liu Zhengyan had already made up his mind to defend Yongzhou City to the death.

But suddenly, the South Vietnamese army stopped moving.For example, right now, the actions of the South Vietnamese Army are becoming more and more incomprehensible.

The Nanyue army who attacked Gu Wanzhai retreated suddenly, they didn't even want Tuoling and Wuli, and went straight back to Taipingzhai.There has been definite news that the South Vietnamese army retreated after arriving at Taiping Village, leaving only a part of the army to garrison Taiping Village.

Liu Zhengyan was unwilling to give up the opportunity and said to others: "The Yue thieves were in full force and suddenly turned south. This must be a big change. I can't wait to take advantage of the opportunity to fight a good battle. Don't wait until Did the Vietnamese bandits turn around again and come here again?" I only wondered if there was something wrong behind the South Vietnamese Kingdom, such as Zhancheng taking advantage of the vacancy.But I dare not think that it is too beautiful.

Isn't there that saying, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

He had also won battles earlier, but it didn't help the overall situation after all.When he went south, he brought only [-] soldiers, while the local soldiers in Yongzhou were even [-] and not enough.He has not practiced for many years and has not cultivated military equipment. It can be said that he is brave and insufficient compared to Zhuang Dingmin.Because this generation has already vented their courage.

With the [-] soldiers he brought with him, this is considered to have a backbone.Moreover, Ding Zhuang, who was active in Yongzhou territory, was able to organize a decent army according to reason.But it's a pity that Yongzhou Ding Zhuang's willingness to serve is strong, but they are only willing to work hard for their own people.

This 'self' is not the entire Yongzhou people, but only the one-acre three-point land of his own family.

The cooperation between Liu Zhengyan and Shangguanheng is good. If there is time, they might not be able to disintegrate one by one.But Li Gande didn't give him more time.When the battle started, Liu Zhengyan held less than [-] troops.Even if there are soldiers and horses from the imperial battalion inside, facing the tens of thousands of troops of Nanyue Kingdom, they cannot be opponents.

The main force of the South Vietnamese army on the opposite side has suddenly returned south. Although we don't know the truth, but there are only a few thousand people left in Taiping village, but it can't be wrong. How can Liu Zhengyan be polite?
On this day, there was a sudden burst of hearty cheers in Yongzhou, first from the gate of the city, and then quickly spread to the center of the city.That was the whole city cheering, overwhelming.Shangguan Heng, who had stayed up all night in the study room last night, woke up from his deep sleep.

"What happened outside?" If it wasn't for the cheers, Shangguan Heng would have thought the city was broken.

"Father, father..., I won, General Liu won. Taipingzhai has been captured, and the vietnamese thieves inside have been wiped out by our army."

The voice of the eldest son Shangguan Ruiwen sounded outside the house.

Shangguan Heng's head, which was still in a daze, suddenly woke up.The whole person jumped up from the bed, and before he had time to put on his shoes, he strode towards the door.While walking, he said: "Is this true? The officers and soldiers really took back Taiping Village?" The latter is the most important pass on the road ahead of Yongzhou.Once there, Tuoling and Wuli are not a problem, and the ancient Wanzhai is just a small ditch.

"That's still false. All the vietnamese thieves were wiped out, the general Li Jingping was captured, the supervisor Wu Jishan drew his sword and committed suicide, and none of the officers and officers below escaped. Two leading lieutenants also surrendered."

Shangguan Heng was so happy that his gums were exposed, and he lost his composure and shouted: "Okay, okay, okay. You are so angry that I am so happy."

Shangguan Ruiwen also laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth but saw his eyes, "The publicity of this great victory will definitely boost the morale of the soldiers and people in Yongzhou." This is meritorious service in defending against the enemy.Presumably even in the new dynasty, the Shangguan family has such merits, and his father's long-standing good reputation, the future will not be bad.

This is a great joy.

Shangguan Heng was very unhappy, he heard the loud cheers outside the mansion, and said to his son: "Quickly find Wang Tongpan, gather all the pork, mutton, wine and meat in the city, and then invite the gentry and celebrities in the city to come." Heng wants to reward the army, reward the army!The army must be rewarded.

This battle can be said to be a great peace of mind for the army and people of Yongzhou.

In an alley not far from Yongzhou Yamen.

Zhou Yongmin, the magistrate of Xuanhua County in Yongzhou Prefecture, did not ask his servants to serve him, and there were no seven meat, eight vegetables, three bowls and four cups on the small round table, just the simplest home-cooked dishes. , just a simple family of four.

Zhou Yongmin lost his majesty outside. At the dinner table, he drank and sang, it can be said that he was in a state of debauchery.But his wife didn't persuade him, because she knew how much pressure her husband was under these days.

The offensive of the South Vietnamese Army was in full swing, just like the waves in the sea, one wave after another, and it never stopped.

Many people in the city fled to the north, and many officials apparently were limited by Shangguanheng's constraints and could not raise their families to the north, but they secretly sent out their descendants' wealth.

Zhou Yongmin didn't do this, and he still felt uneasy sleeping every night for such a long time, but he forcibly survived.Today he finally waited for the good news he had dreamed of - the victory in Taiping Village.The South Vietnamese bandit army was gathered and wiped out more than [-] people.The crisis in Yongzhou...has changed.

"Hahahaha, there was a sudden news outside the sword that Jibei was being collected, and my clothes were filled with tears when I first heard about it. But I saw where my wife was worried, and she was filled with poetry and books, and she was wild with joy. When singing during the day, I had to drink too much, and my youth was a good companion to return home. That is to say, I went to Baxia to wear witchcraft. Gorge, then go down to Xiangyang towards Luoyang."

"Minister Zhou only knew about the past joys of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering."

……

The joy of Yongzhou is the sorrow of South Vietnam, but the more tragic ones are yet to come.The sea breeze is blowing Thang Long Mansion, and the time has entered August.

Ruan Xiaoqi was the vanguard, and Hu Yanqing was the lieutenant general. Fifty warships of the pilot division, carrying more than 3000 sailors and [-] marines, entered from the mouth of the Red River.That road was overwhelming, along the Red River all the way straight up, [-] li was nothing more than a leisurely journey.

The proud Shenglong Mansion never thought that one day he would be stabbed naked. In just three days, everything has changed drastically.

The navy and army of Luqi in the Central Plains followed the Red River all the way to the city of Shenglong.There is not a single city along the way, the Red River Delta is the most precious place in South Vietnam.This is the political, economic and military center of the Li Dynasty regime in South Vietnam.

The fertile Red River Delta is the "Golden City Thousand Miles" of South Vietnam and the "Land of Abundance" of the Li Dynasty.

They never expected that an army from the Central Plains would come here suddenly.The continuous high mountains and rivers in the north, combined with the climate and environment in South Vietnam, in the eyes of the dignitaries of the Li Dynasty, it is a natural moat that separates themselves from the Central Plains.

But now?

The Qi army rushed over from the sea.The entire Nanyue Li Dynasty was stunned.

In fact, China had a strategy of land and sea advances a long time ago. Whether it was Emperor Yang of Sui's attack on Goguryeo, or the Tang army's destruction of Goguryeo and Baekje, the strategy of land and sea advances is not surprising.

But that's all in the north.

As for the south, so far no power is worthy of such a big fanfare from the Central Plains Dynasty.

Therefore, when the navy of the Qi army appeared outside the Shenglong Mansion, the Li Gande people were all fooled.

When the news of the successive fall of Haiyang, Hedong and other cities came, the city of Shenglong Mansion was filled with fear and confusion.

Fortunately, there were still defenders in the Shenglong Mansion, and Li Gande also quickly issued an imperial edict, calling on the Yue people to fight against foreign thieves, and recruited soldiers from the noble families of South Vietnam inside and outside the city to guard the courtyard, and the number of troops exceeded [-].

That Hu Yanqing is brave, and the [-] marines are also brave, and won several fights, but the former relies on the city wall, and the defensive battle is beneficial in the end.After all, the Shenglong Mansion was not broken.

Li Nailan stood on the top of the city of Shenglong Mansion, looking at the northern sky, like a cold stone statue.No one could see that the Four Wall Guardians of Shenglong Mansion, the Dinghaishenzhen of more than 1 defenders in the city, was actually exhausted.

He has fought three battles with the Qi army outside the city.However, after three battles and three defeats, the soldiers will be lost and the generals will be lost!He's going to be ashamed.

Among the soldiers and horses in Shenglong Mansion, only six or seven thousand of the original tens of thousands of forbidden troops remained.The Ding Zhuang recruited from inside and outside the city and the thousands of guards and private soldiers who were taken away from the houses of the rich and bureaucrats in the city also lost more than half.

Therefore, he no longer dared to go out to fight and fight.

Fortunately, Li Gande did not blame him, but instead asked him to be promoted to a noble.He is the one who can still be promoted after losing a battle.His father doesn't have this ability.

Li Nailan's father is Li Richeng.When Li Gande came to the throne at a young age, Li Changjie and Li Richeng co-assisted the government.

Therefore, Li Gande trusted Li Nailan very much, and those who could really fight in Nanyue had already gone north, so Li Nailan was already the tallest among the dwarfs.

But what's the use of a high official and generous salary?What he needs most now is reinforcements, reinforcements!Instead of these useless rewards.

After losing consecutive battles, the morale of the defenders of Shenglong Mansion was already low.Especially the army north of the Red River, the army that took the lead to return to the division of King Qin, was defeated by the Qi army's navy and army.The news spread like wind throughout the entire Shenglong Mansion, causing the military and civilian dignitaries in the city to explode like five thunders, completely demoralizing them.The army returning from the north is the main force of the South Vietnamese Army.What's more, the opponent's reinforcements are still arriving one after another. How can this be so desperate.How can the defenders of Shenglong Mansion still have high fighting spirit?

What kind of title, world position, high-ranking official?Is it precious?The man slashed at him with a knife, let's see if the official on his head can stop it?Faced with the big issue of life and death, many people suddenly realized that Li Gande's rewards and rewards were all false.

So what if you are crowned king, if someone cuts you off with a knife, won't you still lose your head?
Even Li Gande was not as energetic as before, his complexion was pale, his eyes were black and his hair was much grayer.

His straight waist slumped, and he seemed to have aged ten years in a trance, and he had really become an old man over half a year old.
