Chapter 2146: Pacifying Huaibei (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Li Mi¡¯s defeat, the entire situation in Henan began to undergo tremendous changes.

    Huang Mingyuan's six armies came out together, with more than 200,000 troops, and attacked various places.

    Huang Mingyuan's desire to control the local area is much higher than that of Li Mi or even Li Yuan.  Huang Mingyuan would rather actually control a county than nominally control a county.  At the beginning, Li Mi also swept across Henan, south of the river and north of the Huai River, and everyone rushed to surrender, but this was of little use.

    Li Mi only nominally controlled various places. After the defeat, all places immediately rebelled.

    Therefore, in Huang Mingyuan's view, if he wants to truly control various places, he must clean up all the ghosts and monsters in the past.

    Of course, Huang Mingyuan now has absolute strength in Henan and has the confidence.

    The first place the Sui army took action was the three counties of Huaibei.

    The battle in Huaibei actually broke out before the decisive battle between Huang Mingyuan and Li Mi.

    The most powerful people in Huaibei are brothers Zuo Caixiang and Xue Wanshu.

    When the world was in chaos, Huaibei was also the hardest hit area.  After all, the entire Tongji Canal was mostly built by Huaibei laborers, and the water palace dragon boats harmed mostly Huaibei people.

    Therefore, frequent chaos broke out in Huaibei. First, Pengcheng thief commander Zhang Dahu came from Changli, and then East China Sea thief commander Peng Xiaocai moved to Yishui. The two were defeated by Dong Chun, who stayed in Pengcheng at the time, and Peng Xiaocai was captured and executed.

    Although Dong Chun won many battles, the number of thieves increased day by day.  At this time, someone falsely accused Dong Chun of cowardice. Yang Guang became angry and indiscriminately ordered Dong Chun to be put in shackles and taken to the eastern capital, where he was also to be executed.  If it weren't for Huang Mingyuan's plea, Dong Chun would have died long ago.

    After that, Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong successively served as Pengcheng's left-behind guards, but they were unable to quell the chaos.

    Both of them are veteran generals, but Yang Yichen did not gain the emperor's trust and was recalled; Xue Shixiong simply had bad luck and capsized in the gutter.

    Among the Huaibei bandits, Zuo Caixiang was the strongest. They occupied the Xiaqiu and Xuyi areas and blocked the canal, causing great harm.

    " Moreover, Zuo Caixiang also came from Changbai Mountain, Shandong Province, the Whampoa Military Academy in the original rebel circles. He was senior and had high prestige. Li Zitong, Du Fuwei and others all relied on him.  He first called himself "Boshan Gong" and later "King of Qi". The bandits in Huaibei included Guo Fangyu, Zuo Xiaoyou, Tao Pengxiao, Lu Gongxian, Zuo Junxing, Zhang Dahu, Wei Qilin, Du Yangzhou, Shen Midi, Jiang Hongdu, etc.  Everyone is headed by him, which is equivalent to the leader of the Green Forest Alliance.

    Xue Shixiong led 30,000 troops north to suppress the bandits, and wanted to attack Zuo Caixiang first.

    Xue Shixiong has a good plan. As long as he defeats Zuo Caixiang, the entire Huaibei will be shaken.  From now on, it will be easy to attack from all sides and annihilate the group of bucklers.

    So Xue Shixiong went north from Jiangdu, only to attack Xuyi City, the lair of Zuo Caixiang.

    Xue Shixiong is a veteran general, and he has elites in his hands, so he is not comparable to Zuo Cai.  Zuo Caixiang also knew about his family affairs, so he quickly led his army to abandon Xuyi City.

    Xue Shixiong was victorious, so he pursued Zuo Cai and his ministers relentlessly.

    Historically, the government army had a huge advantage against the original peasant army.  And those armies that were initially defeated by the peasant army were most likely the result of underestimating the enemy and ambushing them.

    Xue Shixiong is a famous general and an ordinary person.

    So Xue Shixiong is a little arrogant.

    The Sui army chased Zuo Cai's troops across the Huaihe River, fought and won consecutive battles, and recaptured Xiaqiu and other places, forcing Zuo Cai to the north to Fuli (now Fuli Town, Yongqiao District, Suzhou City, Anhui Province).

    Going further north from Fuli, you will reach Pengcheng, where Zuo Caixiang has no choice but to retreat.

    Xue Shixiong made up his mind to move from north to south, and ordered Pengcheng's army to move from south to north to completely defeat Zuo Caixiang in the Fuli area.

    This time 75 zwz.c*om Zhang Si.  At this time, Prime Minister Zuo Cai was forced to a dead end and could no longer retreat, so he had to fight back.

    At this time, Sun Yun, the chief of staff of Prime Minister Zuo Cai, suggested that the Sui army must be arrogant and unprepared due to their consecutive victories during this period. They could make a surprise attack at night and capture the middle army to break it.

    Zuo Caixiang has such a great career and is not lacking in courage, so he followed it.

    Zuo Caixiang found out that Xue Shixiong was stationed in the north of Xia Qiu, fifty or sixty miles away from them.  So Zuo Caixiang personally selected 300 old soldiers in the army as the vanguard, ordered the rest to set off immediately, and made an appointment with the soldiers, "If we arrive at Xue Camp at night, we will launch an attack. If it is already daylight when we arrive, we will attack directly."  withdraw."

    Attacking Xue Shixiong¡¯s main force during the day is tantamount to seeking death.

    &#24378&#29306&#32&#57&#57&#98&#120&#119&#120&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#29306&#12290 Zuo Caixiang led his army to less than a mile away from the Sui army camp  In the place where it was about to get bright, Zuo Caixiang was greatly confused and prepared to retreat.

      It happened to be a heavy fog, making it difficult to identify people even close to each other.

    Prime Minister Zuo Cai was overjoyed and said to himself, "God help me!" So he led his army into the Sui army's camp.

    Xue Shixiong relaxed his vigilance because of his consecutive battles and victories.  The entire Sui army also looked relaxed, never thinking that they would be attacked.

    So the sudden attack of Prime Minister Zuo Cai's troops immediately caused chaos in the army.  The three armies collapsed and fled.

    " If this is the case, although it is a serious injury, it will not damage Xue Shixiong's body.

    Gongsun Shangzhe, the general under Xue Shixiong, was very ambitious and was very dissatisfied with Xue Shixiong for handing over his troops to his son Xue Wanshu, the commander-in-chief.  So taking advantage of the collapse of the three armies, he broke into Xue Shixiong's central army with his cronies and assassinated Xue Shixiong.

    The entire Chinese army was also in chaos. When Xue Shixiong found out, he had Gongsun Shangzhe take advantage of the chaos to surround him.

    Xue Shixiong tried his best to kill Gongsun Shangzhe, but he was also seriously injured.

    In this battle, the Sui army was severely defeated. It was not until the fog cleared that the situation was stabilized. However, nearly one-third of the entire army was lost, and all supplies were lost.

    Xue Shixiong was a famous general all his life, but in the end he ended up like this. He was ashamed, worried and angry, and died of illness at the age of sixty-one.

    After the Battle of Xiaqiu, Zuocai was unable to control the situation, and its sphere of influence quickly spread to the entire three counties of Huaibei.  The reason why Yang Guang sent Fan Wenchao and Zhang Tong'er to garrison Gaoyou was also to prevent Zuo Cai from committing crimes in the south.

    At the same time, Xue Shixiong's second son Xue Wanshu took over the leadership position on his father's behalf and temporarily stationed troops in Xiaqiu.

    Xue Wanshu did not have the prestige of her father and was unable to rule the counties, so she had to stalemate with Zuocai Xiangmin.

    When Yu Wenhuaji went north, he was even more unable to resist, and could only watch as Yu Wenhuaji occupied Pengcheng and then walked away.

    Huang Weiyang is in Huainan, and Huang Mingyuan has never asked him to go north.

    Therefore, even if Pei Qantong of Pengcheng County surrendered to Huang Weiyang, it would only be in name only.

    At this time, Cai Zhiyun's Youwuhou Army was in charge of the three counties of Nanping and Huaibei. This was an elite force that had been tested in the white mountains and black waters.

    Cai Zhiyun has been stationing troops in Langya County to govern Linyi City. Although he has not mobilized troops, he has not been idle. He has been sending people to contact Xue Wanshu.

    Pei Qiantong was willing to surrender, and the three brothers Xue Wanshu were not doing well. Faced with the olive branch extended by Cai Zhiyun, they immediately accepted it.

    The Xue family is related by marriage to the Huang family and is an old member of the Huang family. It is natural for them to join the Huang family.

    Zhida z.com Zhixiao.  After surrendering the Xue brothers and adding Pei Qantong, Cai Zhiyun formed a three-sided siege on Zuo Caixiang
