Chapter 489

"Your Highness, the Hejian County Army urgently reported it!"

Yang Gao's ceremony of ascension has just ended, and Chen Kefu and Changsun Wugui's wedding has just been completed. Before the excitement has passed, Tang Jinnian of the Special Service Department has arrived to report.[..com]

Although Yang Gao was called emperor, in fact everyone understood that this was just a puppet emperor.

In fact, Chen Kefu, as the prime minister, even saved the matters of the founding of the government. He went directly to the court meeting in the Linshuo Palace. According to the new rules, there were court meetings with the heads of the central departments such as the three provinces, six ministries, and nine ministers. Every five days, all officials from the fifth rank or above in Beijing participated in the Central Government. In the ten days, all officials from the seventh rank or above in Beijing must attend.

Except for the grand dynasty meeting once every ten days and the Emperor Yang Gao meeting, Yang Gao did not have to attend any other dynasty meetings, and everything was chaired by Chen Pojun.

Today, it is the China-Korean Conference every five days. Chen Pojun is listening to the reorganization of the Hebei surrendered army by the General Staff Headquarters. Tang Jinnian, the Director of the Special Service Department who had not participated in the meeting, rushed to ask for a meeting.

The situation in Hebei was originally in a balanced state, but the Liaodong army opened up a plank road and secretly crossed Chencang. Bypassed Linyu Pass, and then joined Jundu Pass and entered the Central Plains. For a time, the situation in Hebei changed drastically. The Liaodong army quickly captured Jundu Pass, seized Zhuo County, and blocked the four fronts of Hebei. Turning to the thunderous momentum, the inside and outside took Linyu Pass, and forced 200,000 Hebei troops to capture the six counties in Hebei.

Before everyone could react, they changed Jicheng of Zhuo County to Beijing, and suddenly created Empress Xiao and the Crown Prince. Before everyone could react, they had already ascended the throne in Zhuo County and respected the emperor as the Supreme Emperor. As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, they immediately issued a series of edicts to pass on the world. The nearest counties in Hebei even received edicts stamped with the imperial seal, allowing them to submit to the Beijing court.

A single hair moves the whole body.

The Liaodong Army's shocking actions made everyone confused.

The originally subtle balance of Hebei was instantly broken, like a stone thrown into a pond, immediately creating a pool of ripples.

In Hebei, there were originally many soldiers and horses in the court, and Linyu Pass gathered more than 200,000 troops. As a result, most of the troops in various parts of Hebei were immediately transferred. Later, Pei Renji served Wang Yanmen, and the remaining soldiers in various parts of Hebei were even transferred. For a time, except for the Hebei army in Linyu Pass, only a small number of troops were left in each county.

The peasant army such as Sun Anzu, Liu Badao, Gao Shida in southern Hebei took advantage of the situation and quickly captured Pingyuan County, Bohai County, and Hejian County, one after another, and destroyed the counties. It was a huge momentum and occupied the three counties.

However, although Sun Anzu and others seized the opportunity, recruited troops and occupied the county and divided the county. In fact, after occupying the three counties, their strength had reached the limit of expansion.

The three families all occupied such a large territory like Chen Kefu, and they all needed time to digest and grow.

On the other hand, by the eleventh year of Daye, the peasant army was no longer a peasant uprising army that could not survive and had no food for seven years. The three peasant army that occupied one county in Hebei had long been no longer just bandits who plundered counties. Seeing the chaos in the world, there was another person who did not want to do a great cause, become king and achieve great cause. After all, the three men and horses occupied one county, they immediately stopped moving. A large part of the reason was that they all began to have the idea of ​​two surrounding teams, but on the one hand they were guarding against the two men beside them.

How can you let others sleep soundly when you lie beside the bed!

Gao Shida and others were all peasant army leaders who had rebelled for many years. Over the years, they were able to survive the continuous encirclement of the court. They had already developed cunning like foxes.

If the peasant army wants to expand its power as quickly as possible, they all understand that it is to capture counties and rob money and grain. In addition to this, there is another best way to join the arms of other peasants.

In recent years, they have been fighting with the court and constantly fighting over the small number of peasant armies around them to strengthen their power to such an extent. The peasant army has one characteristic, that is, they are large and powerful, but after a big defeat in one battle, they will most likely collapse. Even the peasant army will not have any loyalty. After the defeat, the peasant army will generally obediently merge into the victorious side.

The three peasant army in Hebei were recruiting soldiers, raising energy and ready to go. At this moment, Hebei, which was originally peaceful, suddenly entered the Liaodong Army. As soon as the Liaodong Army entered Hebei, there was a series of dazzling actions, which immediately made all the Hebei peasant army unable to sit still.

The Liaodong Army Chen Pojun is known to the world. Chen Pojun destroyed Goguryeo and Shiwei countries alone with his own strength. The Liaodong Army has only been in force for three years and has now become the most recognized strongest military force in the world. The Liaodong Army has entered the Central Plains, and who else can stop them from drinking the Yellow River?

A deep crisis lingers in the hearts of the leaders of the Hebei peasant army.

Faced with the powerful Liaodong Army, either the Hebei Army of the imperial court was expected to defeat the Liaodong Army. Or the peasant army united to form a group to deal with the Liaodong Army. Or they could only be prepared early and wait to surrender to the Liaodong Army.

Faced with these three choices, the leaders of the three strongest peasant army were hesitant. After working hard for so many years, they finally accumulated their current strength. Who would be willing to give up all this?

It is even more ridiculous that the Hebei Peasant Army jointly fought against the Liaodong Army. It is better if the peasant army is not together, so how could it join forces?

Just when Sun Anzu, Liu Badao and Gao Shida were all frowning and hesitating.

On the contrary, a soldier that had been overlooked the most suddenly came out. Just when the Liaodong Army broke through Jundu Pass, occupied the four fronts of Taihang Mountains, and forced the Hebei Army to surrender to Linyu Pass, a peasant army on the edge of the Yellow River suddenly crossed the Yellow River and entered Hebei.

This army was also a peasant army that was revived in Shandong, and its leader was Zhang Jincheng. He was the first in the seventh year of Daye.

oThe peasants raised their troops during a rebellion, and later fought between the two banks of the Yellow River in Shandong, Hebei and others. Although they had a great reputation in the early years, they were first defeated by Zhang Xutuo, and later surrounded and suppressed by Fan Zigai.

After finally overwhelming encirclements and suppressions, his power was getting smaller and smaller. At the beginning of the year, Yang Wenchen's general Yang Shanhui was almost chased by Yang Wenchen's general so that he had no way to go to heaven and seamlessly entered the ground.

Fortunately, when the Jiangnan rebelled, Yang Shanhui sent troops south to Jiangdu. Zhang Jin said that he had just got a breath of breath. He did not expect that the general Qu Tutong, the Zuowuhou who suppressed bandits in Henan, failed to retreat to Shandong after a great battle with the Wagang Army. Zhang Jin said that he wanted to take the opportunity to eat this imperial army, but he did not expect that he would bite a hard bone.

Although Qu Tutong was defeated by Li Mi, he still had more than 20,000 people under his command. He also had generals like Qu Tuge, Shi Danai, Song Laosheng and other subordinates. In just one battle, Zhang Chengjin, who had more than 80,000 ragtags, would be defeated by Zhang Chengji.

After the battle, Zhang Chengjin fled to Bohai County, Hebei with less than 10,000 people. Zhang Chengjin ran to Gao Qiaobo, who had been there before, and defected to Sun Anzu, who had occupied the entire Bohai County at this time.

However, the world is dangerous and people's hearts are dangerous. Sun Anzu, who took in Zhang Jin, did not know that he took in a white-eyed wolf. Just as he was worried about the threat of the Liaodong Army, Zhang Jin said that he had bribed and won over many Sun Anzu's subordinates and launched a rebellion. During the rebellion, Zhang Jin said that he defeated Sun Anzu and killed the general loyal to Sun Anzu.

After Zhang Jin said that after he captured Bohai County, he sent people to recruit many of the troops who had dispersed last time from Shandong.

Within a few days, Zhang Jincheng's troops had reached 100,000. After tasting the sweetness of fighting, Zhang Jincheng put his ideas on Liu Badao, the Pingyuan County next door.

The troops led by Liu Badao were named Ajiujun. Liu Badao was a local tyrant. He had been a wealthy official for many generations, and he loved to travel, and had hundreds of diners. In the seventh year of his career, he refused to participate in the military service of Liao, and gathered people in Douzihang, which had a dangerous terrain. By now, he has occupied the entire plain county with more than 100,000 troops.

Although Liu Badao was strong, Zhang Jin said that he was also a dragon crossing the river. When the night was dark and windy, Zhang Jin said that he gathered all his troops and attacked Liu Badao's nest directly. In a big battle, a bloody battle day and night, Liu Badao was defeated by Zhang Jin said in a melee, and Ah-gu's army was defeated. Zhang Jin said that he took advantage of the situation to chase him. Liu Badao only fled to Hejian County with a few people and defected to Gao Shida. Zhang Jin said that within a few days, he defeated the troops led by Liu Badao's troops in Pingyuan County and completely occupied Pingyuan County. For a time, Zhang Jin said that he captured two counties in a row, claiming to have 200,000 troops, and was in power to settle the north bank of the Yellow River.

In the court, Chen Pojun guided the ministers in the hall to the scene and were all solemn.

After capturing the six counties of Hebei that day, the Liaodong army did not go south all the way. Instead, they chose to rest for a while. First, they were tired of their troops, and second, they had to solve the Hebei surrendered army first. Third, the Liaodong army lacked troops. Before stabilizing the six counties of Hebei occupied by their residence, blindly moving south was not the best choice.

Of course, when making such a choice, I also saw that the situation in Hebei would not change much for the time being. After all, the three peasant armies in Hebei each occupy one county, and their strength is comparable. They are not afraid of being restrained by each other.

But no one expected that a Zhang Jinsheng would suddenly come out from Hebei halfway, and this guy could defeat Sun Anzu and Liu Badao in such a short time. This accident was really too sudden.
