Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1334 Talking (adding more to the leader of the ghostly forest)

Above the Yingkou Pu Wharf, there was a turmoil of people, and it was extremely hectic.

Kang Fu had never seen such a chaotic scene in his life.

Baggage carts, vans, war horses, pack horses, draft horses, sergeants, government soldiers, soil regiments, craftsmen, sailors, and officials were all in a mess.

"This way! Here! Where are you going to put it?"

"Just throw the food on the pier? What if it rains?"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Didn't I tell you to wait by the woods? Don't be stupid, go."

"Quick! Faster! The fleet is leaving."

"Damn, who is it among you? Such a small body is also here to serve as a slave? You can't carry two sacks of wheat, so what's the use of you?"

"Don't forget the arrows, there are also wound medicines, put the C-word library first."

……

Kang Fu suddenly became happy, it was even more lively than Luoyang Nanshi!
In fact, it's not that the officials are poor, it's that too many people and materials have poured in at once, and the logistical transfer pressure is extremely high.Everyone has been spinning day and night for several days, and they are almost fainted from exhaustion.

"Boom boom boom..." The drums of Jubing sounded.

Kang Fu urinated into the river, shook himself, and went to the school grounds in a leisurely manner, standing in line.

Several riders rode in from outside the school grounds and dismounted in front of the high platform.

Kang Fu was not very interested in listening to what they had to say, and since they were too far away, he couldn't hear clearly.

He turned to look at Zhao Jing.

This guy is also the team leader of the Yingkou County Army, with a bow tip and a horizontal knife hanging on his waist, a brand new leather armor on his body, and a rifle in his hand.

Kang Fu smiled and held his head high.The morning sun fell on the body, and the silver light was shining.

Zhao Jing's eyes were shaken, he turned his head and saw the armor on Kang Fu's body, his eyes were red.

Just as Kang Fu was about to say something, a knight suddenly passed through the gaps between the phalanxes, and shouted as he walked, "The one who captured and killed Yeluyi will be the Marquis of the County!"

"County Marquis!"

"County Marquis!"

The cheers resounded through the earth like ocean waves, and it lasted for a long time.

"Kill Abaoji, get the county magistrate!" Zhao Jing blushed, looked at Kang Fu, and laughed.

"How about capturing Yueli Duo?" Kang Fu asked suddenly.

"Haha!" The sergeants burst out laughing.

"Then you can't give it to a county magistrate?"

Another burst of laughter came out.

Kang Fu also followed silly. 3000 men assembled in the wilderness, contemptuously and laughingly at their enemies, that's all it takes.

The order to advance was issued quickly.

3000 people with equipment, lined up neatly, walking on the banks of the Daliao River.

The long baggage carriage covered their right side, and there was a lot of grain in the carriage, which was piled high.

On the left is the Daliao River, and on the river are boats full of supplies one after another.The iron horse brought from the rear struggled forward, dragging the ship all the way north.

From time to time, the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near could be heard, it was the rangers guarding the periphery.

One day after Kang Fu and the others left, another team left the pier and headed north.

They are larger in scale, with tens of thousands of people, walking on both sides of the Daliao River.

Shi Jingrong, the military envoy of the Qingsai army, and Liu Yancong, the deputy envoy, walked side by side, while Kang Yicheng, the Marquis of Duyu, ran back and forth, urging the formation of the various ministries.

"Do you understand Wang Yanzhang?" Shi Jingrong asked.

"I've heard of this name before." Liu Yancong said, "Zhu Quanzhong's generals are very powerful in the battle."

"That's all?" Shi Jingrong asked in surprise.

"That's all." Liu Yancong said.

Shi Jingrong understood.Co-authored by Wang Yanzhang, he doesn't care when he rushes up, only the people he leads are in his eyes?Well, it should be that the overall situation is not very good, lack of overall vision, weak adaptability, and unable to command large troops.

"No wonder the king of Qin is in charge of the central army." Shi Jingrong smiled and said, "Wang Yanzhang is the deputy in name, but in fact he is the vanguard or the envoy, right?"

"He has a thousand cavalry under his command, so it should be the envoy You Yi. I heard that Yelufu's ancient Khitan soldiers are also in his charge, so there are thousands of cavalry."

"Is Fu Gu only reliable?"

"I don't know, just be on guard against him. But with so many soldiers and horses this time, forgive him and dare not fight back."

yes!Shi Jingrong sighed with emotion.

The sage should have started planning to attack Khitan after finishing the funeral of King Jin.Apart from other things, the manufacture of so many vehicles is not an overnight effort. From October last year to April this year, for half a year, craftsmen from Hebei, Henan, Huaihai, and Zhili have been working on do this.

Now the pasture in southern Liaoning has begun to grow, and by May, the pasture in western and eastern Liaoning will also grow, which is a good time to use troops.

Facing such power and influence, what can Khitan do to block it?The cavalry of the eight divisions of Khitan?Or the Xi, Bohai, and Han'er infantry newly created by Abaoji?Or is it the servants of Tatar, Yu, and Shiwei?

There are not many opportunities to make contributions.

Shi Jingrong knew well that the Hedong forces joined too late.Above the court, there is a lack of big figures who speak for them and fight for their interests.Today, more than half of the battle has been fought, and there are very few opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Conquering Khitan may be one of the few good opportunities that must be seized.

******
There was a thunder in the sky, and the pattering spring rain fell, watering the farmland and nourishing the earth.

The weeds showed their buds.Looking around, there is a patch of greenery dotted with the monotonous wilderness of Shangjing Prefecture.

Pei Qiu hurried into the post house.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall is bursting, and there are faint singing voices.Pei Qiu stopped for a moment and didn't go in until the end of the song.

"Pei Shaoqing."

"Master Li."

After the two saluted, they sat facing each other.

"Master Li is very interested." Pei Qiu laughed.

Li Shouxin lives in the master book of Dali Temple, from the seventh rank.

"The soldiers are not dispatched, and I feel unhappy, so I can only listen to music and chat to comfort myself." Li Shouxin snorted and said.

Pei Qiu signaled with his eyes, and the prostitutes saluted and retreated.

"The general is gone." Pei Qiu deliberately paused, and suddenly smiled.

"Oh?" Li Shouxin regained his energy, stood up suddenly, and asked, "When will the troops be dispatched? Who will lead the army? How many troops?"

Pei Qiu clapped his hands, and another servant brought hot tea and snacks.

He pulled Li Shouxin to sit down, and said: "Today's court discussion, the king tried his best to send [-] troops to attack Khitan. The king's younger brother Da Shuxian will lead the army."

Li Shouxin was both happy and worried.

The good news is that Bohai finally decided to send troops.He has never been able to figure it out, being beaten like a dog by the Khitan, falling into the land of one prefecture and two prefectures, Zhongjing and Shangjing were exposed to the front of the Khitan army, how could he still fantasize about negotiating peace with the Khitan?

He suffered a lot on the way to Bohai, with frostbite on his hands and feet. When he arrived at the Longquan Mansion in Beijing, Bohai, although the other party was polite, the court argued endlessly and never gave him a letter, which made him even more depressed.

Don't the Bohai people know that Khitan will attack you this year?Simply unreasonable!
Fortunately, according to what Pei Qiu said, the Niaoguo finally figured it out, and decided to attack Khitan with the Great Xia Wang Shihui to solve the disaster that has plagued them for more than a hundred years.

But Li Shouxin was still a little worried.

Da Shuxian is really outrageous.It's not that he is a good person, but that his ability to lead troops in battle is too bad.The king of Bohai handed over the army to him, is it possible?
But he wasn't going to delve into the matter.Bohai has its own national conditions, so if outsiders don't know it, don't talk about it.Maybe if you change the leader of the army, there will be internal disharmony, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the fight may be worse.

"When will the troops be dispatched? What kind of troops are there?" Li Shouxin asked: "Pei Shaoqing, this is a golden opportunity in Bohai. We can't make up numbers with weak soldiers."

"How can there be..." Pei Qi laughed and said: "I want to teach the envoy to know that this time the king ordered [-] elite soldiers to be selected from the three prefectures of Beijing, Nanjing, and Tokyo, and they will arrive on schedule. The Five Tribes of Shui have [-] Tibetan soldiers. A total of [-] troops were selected at the moment, and the Khitan will be defeated."

Li Shouxin ignored Pei Qi's bragging, and only asked in detail about the origin and composition of these troops.

It turned out that Bohai inherited the Tang system and was divided into the Central Forbidden Army and the local state and county soldiers.The forbidden army is stationed in the Wujing area, with a total of about 2 people-the current scale is still [-], but the quality is not the same as ten years ago.

The [-] Bohai soldiers conscripted this time are the Forbidden Army.

The Bohai Kingdom also has internal tribes and Jimi tribes.

The attached tribes are very complex, mainly distributed in Huaiyuan, Anyuan, Anbian, Dongping and other prefectures in the north.

More than a hundred years ago, the Bohai Sea was established, and then the strategy of going south was determined.

The beginning was relatively smooth. In the battle of Madu Mountain, the Turks and Khitans united to defeat Tang Pinglu's army and the Heishui Mohe and Shiwei coalition forces. Tang lost more than [-] people.Then it attacked Silla again, taking all of the Qingchuan River basin, and taking Daedong River as the boundary with Silla.

But after all, the Tang Dynasty was strong and powerful. This strategy has huge limitations, and there are different opinions in the country——

In the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726), the King of Bohai sent his younger brother Damen Yi and uncle Ren Ya to send troops to attack Heishui Mohe.

Damen Yi was once a hostage in the Tang Dynasty, and he did not agree to attack Heishui Mohe, a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, thinking that it might attract the Tang army to rescue him.

"Men Yi's soldiers came to the state, and he wrote a letter to remonstrate. Wu Yi was angry, and sent his elder brother Xia Dai Men Yi to lead the army, recruiting Men Yi, and wanted to kill him."

So a civil war broke out, Damen Yi was defeated, and went to Tang Dynasty, and was awarded General Zuo Xiaowei.

After the death of Da Wuyi, Da Qinmao succeeded to the throne. He has been in power for more than 50 years. He actively crossed the Great Wall in the north (the side wall, defending Heishui Mohe), opened up to the north, and cut off the road from the five tribes of Heishui to the Tang Dynasty. Today, the north The various prefectures are basically the foundation laid by the Bohai King with the posthumous title "Wen Wang" during his reign.

After Daqinmao, he continued to move northward and moved the capital to Longquan Mansion in Shangjing.

During the Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty, the two tribes of Yuexi and Yulou from Heishui Mohe paid tribute to Chang'an for the last time, and there was no news after that.

During the Great Yizhen period (830-858), the territory of Bohai State reached its peak, with five capitals, fifteen prefectures, and a total of 62 prefectures, becoming the prosperous state of Haidong.

The current internal tribes of the Bohai Kingdom are the tribes that surrendered after conquering the northern provinces.

As for the five tribes of Heishui, they were the Jimi tribe who fled all the way north after being defeated that year, and then "feared the ministers".

The Jimi tribe has not been very obedient since more than 20 years ago. They actually betrayed the suzerain and made peace with the Silla Kingdom, which shows the rapid decline of the Balhae Kingdom.

Li Shouxin deeply suspected that Bohai Kingdom was able to recruit [-] Heishui Mohe soldiers this time, in fact, it was hired with money.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he can fight Khitan, it doesn't matter how he got here, so he asked, "When will we send troops?"

"Master Li, why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Qiu said helplessly, "It's only April now, the grass has just turned green and hasn't grown tall yet, so how do we send troops? Besides, all the soldiers and horses have to drill together first and get to know each other well. In short, Not until mid-May."

"The Bohai Sea is dominated by infantry, so why wait for pastures to grow?" Li Shouxin asked.

Bohai State has both agriculture and animal husbandry, but mainly rice cultivation, supplemented by animal husbandry. Their military system is mainly infantry and less cavalry.

Heishui Mohe Fanbing and his like mainly focus on fishing and hunting, supplemented by herding. In fact, they are also infantry, but they only know how to ride horses. They are not in the same way as the Khitans.

Since infantry is the main force, why wait for pasture to grow?

"The middle school has been attacked by soldiers for years, and there were floods last year. There were many poor harvests and insufficient food reserves. There is nothing, nothing." Pei Qiu said.

Li Shouxin stared at him.

Pei Qi had no expression on his face, and only said: "The court meeting has been decided, and troops will be sent in mid-May to attack the Mansion of Huo Jie."

This attack direction is very subtle.The Mansion of Hu Jie was taken by the Khitan, and the army of the Bohai Kingdom killed it in order to regain the lost ground.As for whether they will continue to advance westward and enter Khitan territory after regaining the lost land, it is hard to say.

Li Shouxin suddenly smiled, and said: "May be May, when the Wang Shi will be big enough to encircle Khitan."

For this sake, he was already able to do business, after all, he persuaded the Bohai Kingdom to send troops.But there are still some regrets. If Bohai can send troops earlier to attract Khitan's attention, Master Wang will be more confident.

But the Bohai people are not stupid, they want to wait for Wang Shi to fight with the Khitan people first, and then take advantage of it from behind.

These grandchildren!
