Chapter 3 Eastern Expedition Hurricane 3

And it is said that Wubiao found Xue Tao and Liang Yu and went to attack Yue Lingfei's camp outside Raozhou City. Xue Tao agreed to Wubiao's request for a war and allocated 5,000 people to Wubiao to rob the camp in an attempt to give the Rebels.

During Yue Lingfei's garrison in Jiangnan, Fang Te and Ma Xiang, famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, came to join us. These two were intelligent and became the think tanks of the fourth village of Daqi. Yue Lingfei's army arrived outside Raozhou and camped. Fang Te and Ma Xiang found Yue Lingfei and offered suggestions.

Fang Te said, "Lord Yuezhai, according to the report of Tanma, the generals of Raozhou are Xue Tao and Liang Yu, the generals in Zhang Yu's army. These two generals are Wang Duo's confidants. They were ordered by Wang Duo to lead troops to Huainan to help Gao Qian resist Daqi. Raozhou currently has 30,000 Tang troops. Although the number of troops is not large, they are all elite soldiers of Li Tang, which cannot be underestimated. I estimate that Xue Tao is likely to arrange his brave generals to attack our army, so he must strengthen the camp and then enter the army, which can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Yue Lingfei nodded: "What Mr. Fang said is very true. I decided to send Li Qiang and Yang Neng to lead an army each to ambush and wait in the dense forest of the hills on both sides of the battalion. If the Tang army comes to attack, they will surround and annihilate them!"

Ma Xiang smiled and said, "In this way, it will definitely disrupt the deployment of the Tang army and shake its military heart. I guess Xue Tao and Liang Yu will definitely abandon Raozhou and rush to Xinzhou to join forces with Zhang Yu and Liang Yu to deal with our army."

In the middle of the night, he stretched out his hand and couldn't see his fingers. Wubiao took 5,000 Tang soldiers and rushed in. He quietly came to the front of the camp and saw that there were only dozens of volunteers on duty inside and outside the village. Wubiao showed his fierceness, pulled out the sword and ordered, "Tang warriors, kill me!"

Tang Bing followed Wu Biao and killed the volunteer camp. The duty volunteers dispersed. Tang Bing entered the camp and saw that there was no one in the front camp. Wu Biao knew that he had won the plan and quickly ordered the withdrawal of the troops. He only heard a few gunfire outside. Yue Lingfei led the army to kill him from the rear camp. Hundreds of Tang soldiers were killed and injured in a blink of an eye, and the rest fled one after another. Wu Biao couldn't stop drinking.

Wu Biao shouted and waved a knife to resist the fighting of the volunteers. Wubiao used the unique skill "Ghost Land Crazy Wave" and played with the sword. In a short time, he cut down more than a dozen volunteers. Seeing this, Yue Lingfei roared and held up a steel gun, urging the green horse to go straight to Wubiao.

Yue Lingfei rose up his power and used his unique skill of "Xiaguang Wan Dao". The gun picked up the gun flowers and tightly forced Wubiao's Zhu Qi knife. Wubiao, a scoundrel, is okay to deal with ordinary soldiers, but he is inferior when he meets a first-class martial arts master like Yue Lingfei. When Wu Biao saw that Zhu Qi Dao's unique skill was cracked by Yue Lingfei, he couldn't help but be shocked and knew that he was invincible. He quickly turned the horse's head and rushed out desperately to escape from the encirclement of the Qi army.

Yue Lingfei was willing to give up. He opened his eyes and chased his own soldiers in the direction of Wubiao's escape. Wubiao panicked and chose his way. The Zhu Qi knife flew up and down, killed the generals of Daqi crazily, and finally took hundreds of Tang soldiers out of the encirclement of Yue Lingfei's army.

Wu Biao broke away from the village and fled. As soon as he walked three or five miles, he saw two arrows like flying locusts. Tang soldiers were killed and injured. Li Jian and Yang Neng's two soldiers and horses came out and intercepted Wu Biao's remnants army.

Wo Biao was shocked and was about to organize a breakout. Yue Lingfei had already led a large army to kill him. Yue Lingfei took the lead, rushed to Wubiao, shouted, and used his unique skill to "cattle the demons and eliminate the gods", and the steel gun was like cowhide candy, sticking to Wubiao. The gun seemed to be spiritual and always came to the point of Wubiao. Wubiao's killing knife was picked up by Yue Lingfei. Wu Biao jumped off the horse and wanted to escape in the chaos. Yang Neng rushed to Wubiao's side and hit Wubiao's right leg with a flaming snake spear. Wubiao "ploped" to the ground. The volunteers rushed up and captured Wubiao alive.

In this way, the 5,000 Tang soldiers brought by Wu Biao wanted to take advantage of the first arrival of the Rebel Army and the unstable foothold and fight against the Rebels. Unexpectedly, surrounded by Yue Lingfei, Fang Te and Ma Xiang, 5,000 Tang soldiers were killed or injured. Only a few dozen of them ran fast and fled into Raozhou and cried to Xue Tao and Liang Yu about the war.

Xue Tao and Liang Yu were shocked, and the two generals looked at each other and were speechless for a long time. Liang Yu said, "30,000 military horses in Raozhou were taken 5,000 by Wubiao, and all of them were reimbursed. Because of years of war in Raozhou, the city defense fortifications are very bad, and there are not many dangerous places to guard. Now these 25,000 troops and horses can't defend Raozhou anyway. General Xue, I think it's better to break through the siege, go to Xinzhou to meet the soldiers and horses of Zhang Wei and Liang Zhen, and then find a way.

Xue Tao shook his head gently and said, "We are the confidant of Wang Duo. When we set out in Luoyang, there were 60,000 to 70,000 people. Follow Zeng Yuanyu and Gao Wei to conquer Huang Chao, and more than half of the soldiers and horses are damaged. If they continue to fight, they will run out of their old capital! If the soldiers and horses are all killed, how can we go back and tell the families of the fallen soldiers? How to communicate with kindness? I don't think Gao Yu and Zhang Yu are people who have achieved great things. In this troubled autumn, they have soldiers in their hands, so they don't panic. General Liang, take these 25,000 soldiers and horses north across the Yangtze River and return to Xiangzhou to protect the grace!"

Liang Yu listened to Xue Tao's words and couldn't help thinking about it carefully and felt that what Xue Tao said was indeed reasonable. Yes, he followed Zeng Yuanyu and Gao Yu to suppress Huang Chao. He had suffered a lot over the past year and gained the blame of the court and the suspicion of the coach!

Liang Qian gritted his teeth and said, "General Xue, Gao Yu is not like Zeng Yuanyu, let alone treat us as human beings. Gao Yu, the general you led, has always been a vanguard force, obviously asking us to take the lead for his main force and fight with the yellow nest thief bandits. Now the remaining 25,000 soldiers can no longer follow Gao Qian, an asshole. I agree with you that we can withdraw from the Yangtze River in the north, retreat to Shuzhou first, and then take the way to Xiangzhou. The reason is to protect the kindness! We are not afraid of Gao Yu's ginseng!"

Xue Tao and Liang Yu thought of a piece and quickly left Raozhou with these 25,000 soldiers and horses, crossed the river to the north and went to Shuzhou.

Yue Lingfei was very happy and ordered the soldiers and horses of the fourth village of Daqi to be stationed in Raozhou. The rebels once occupied Raozhou, and the mass base was good, so he quickly gained a firm foothold in Raozhou.

As for this Wu Biao, he was really a coward. After being detained by Yue Lingfei, the news spread to Cao Min, who was stationed in Quzhou. Raozhou is not far from Quzhou. Cao Min sent his own soldiers to Raozhou and escorted Wu Biao to Quzhou. Cao Min scolded Wu Biao for serving Li Tang. Wu Biao knew he would die, so he scolded Daqi endlessly. Cao Min was furious, pulled out his sword, cut off Wubiao's right arm, and then ordered his own soldiers to behead Wubiao to warn those Li Tang generals who fought against Daqi.

After Zhang Yu and Liang Yu were in Xinzhou and got the news that Xue Tao and Liang Yu led their troops to cross the north of the river, they were furious, but they had no choice. Liang Yu said, "General Zhang, Yue Lingfei led more than 100,000 tiger and wolves to capture Raozhou this time. The next step is to attack Xinzhou with the thief Xu Tangju and Cao Min. I think the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xinzhou are difficult to resist!"

Zhang Yu said angrily: "Gaodu gave me 80,000 horses and crossed the south of the Yangtze River, but shrank more than 100,000 troops to the front line of Yangzhou. A bright-eyed person knew at a glance that he was trying to protect himself. Alas, we are both confidants of Gao Dutong. Now Gaodu always listens to the words of Lv Yongzhi and Zhang Shouyi's villains, and it's not far from defeat!"

Liang Zhen sighed: "We have been fighting with Gaodu for many years. What kind of battle have we not fought? Pingnan Man and Zhan Shatuo both have a share of us. It can't be said that we have won a hundred battles, but they are also brilliant military achievements. But today, it is more difficult to fight with Huangchao thieves than to fight against Nanman and Shatuo. Why is that?

Zhang Yu smiled bitterly: "Why? In fact, it is very simple, because this is a war caused by the civil strife of the Tang Dynasty! I learned from Zen Master Huiming, practiced martial arts, and joined the army as a general. I wanted to protect the people, resist foreign aggression, and be a famous general in history. But in today's situation, it is difficult for my ideal to achieve!"

"General Zhang is both civil and martial arts. In the general of the Tang Dynasty, there are few people who can compete with you. Don't be discouraged! I think the Tang Dynasty can completely defeat the Yellow Nest Thieves! When the civil strife is calmed down, General Zhang will definitely become a famous thief general of the Tang Dynasty, an important minister of the imperial court, with endless incense and history!" Liang Yan flattered.

"I hope so. At present, how to deal with the attack of the three armies of Yue Lingfei, Xu Tangjun and Cao Min is the most important thing for me to consider preserving the strength of our army first. So I want to withdraw from Xinzhou, cross Wuyi Mountain, attack Jianyang, Jianzhou and Fuzhou, and insert a knife in the southeast of the thieves! At that time, I believe that the court will send troops to respond!" Zhang Wei talked about his response.

General Zhang's plan is comparable to Sun Wu, which fully reflects Sun Wu's flexible and changeable characteristics. I firmly obey General Zhang's deployment!" Liang Yu continued to flatter.

"That's it. Tomorrow morning, the three armies will start, cross Wuyi Mountain, go straight to Jianyang, take Jianyang by means of rapid attack, and then enter Jianzhou and Fuzhou. In the southeast of the thieves, I will turn upside down! Through this military operation, our army must recapture Xianxialing and occupy Fengling Pass, Xianxia Pass and other key passes!" Zhang Yu's eyes were shining and his tone was decisive.

Zhang Yu and Liang Yu's 50,000 troops and horses overcame Wuyi Mountain, quickly captured Jianyang and Jianzhou, and went straight to Fuzhou. In cooperation with Dong Chang, they captured Fengling Pass, Xianxia Pass and other places occupied by the rebels. This series of battles proved that Zhang Yu was indeed the best among the generals of the late Tang Dynasty. He used his troops well and was well shud in the way of change.

At the same time, Huang Chao, Chai Cun and Meng Kai led the main forces of Daqi and successively captured Chizhou, Xuanzhou, Shezhou, Hangzhou and other places. Wang Ning, a Tang general in Xuanzhou, committed suicide, and the Tang army was defeated and lost a large area of land in the south of the Yangtze River. Yue Lingfei, Xu Tangju and Cao Min's soldiers and horses also easily captured Xinzhou, Kuozhou, Taizhou and other places.

Dong Chang and Qian Qian couldn't resist the tide of the Qi army's offensive, so they had to retreat to Yuezhou and Mingzhou, send envoys to Gao Yu to urge rescue troops and beg for reinforcements from the court.

The Eastern Expedition of Daqi has won an unprecedented victory, which greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the military and civilians on the two banks of the Yangtze River, and a brand-new Daqi dynasty is about to emerge.
