Chapter 108 scrambling
On April 26th, the clouds are coming.
The alliance left Sima Yuan An, the military officer Xiao Yi, the military officer Li Mengchang, led the cavalry right army led by Feng Hong and Li Yi, the Xi right army led by Ahuichuan and Yuanqizhe, and the fifth regiment guards led by the Yingyanglang general Xue Wanche, and nearly 10,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers, rushed to Huifachuan.
This is the vanguard of the rear army. After this force arrived in Huifachuan, Li Hun would follow up with more than 100,000 troops from the rear army.
Li Hun was eager to advance eastward, which is understandable. In essence, this is putting pressure on Li Fengyun, forcing Li Fengyun to speed up the attack speed, and to enter the hinterland of Pyongyang as soon as possible, and to do his best to attack Pyongyang to achieve the expected goals. In this way, no matter whether the Anton army and various control strings have suffered heavy losses, the situation of the battle will be beneficial to Middle-earth. Li Hun and King Qi can use the power of Anton to build great achievements and win benefits.
The King of Qi was also eager to advance eastward. When he learned from Li Zixiong that Li Fengyun had captured the domestic city and had crossed the Yalu River, he was particularly anxious and wanted to set off immediately. However, Li Zixiong disagreed and rushed to Pyongyang from the indirect path. He was unfamiliar with the land and the road was difficult and dangerous. He could be said to be frightened step by step and crises. If he was careless, something might happen. Therefore, the connection between the three armies in the front, middle and back is very important. We must support each other and support each other so that we can advance and retreat without worries. Li Hun and the rear army could not advance eastward.
The King of Qi was worried, but fortunately, Li Hun was "understandable" and did not wait for the King of Qi to "see through", and the vanguard of the rear army arrived unexpectedly, which just solved the King of Qi's urgent needs.
After Li Zixiong discussed with the general manager of the various army, he immediately ordered the right army of the cavalry to stay in Huifachuan, the cavalry, the scorching sun, the feather cavalry and the right army of the Xi tribe to travel to the domestic city overnight.
After the order was issued, Yingyanglang general Xue Wanche found Li Zixiong and asked to advance east with the main force. "Although there are only five regiments and one thousand guards, at the moment of fierce fighting, when the five regiments are in a stalemate, they may be able to decide the outcome."
Li Zixiong ignored him and refused to agree, and ordered him to lead his army back to Fuyu City immediately.
Xue Wanche immediately put on a playboy's face, pestered Li Zixiong with "deadly" and even brought out his father Xue Shixiong.
Li Zixiong and Xue Shixiong are both from Guanlong and commanders of the Weifu. However, Li Zixiong is the backbone of the Longxi branch and the closest general of the old commander Yang Su. He has a close relationship with Heluo. Xue Shixiong is a child of the Hedong branch and the backbone of the Hedong branch. There are conflicts of interest and common friendships between the two. However, as far as the next generation is concerned, they are all elders. In the absence of grudges, they must comfort the younger generation in terms of emotion and reason. After all, they look up but not look down. If you give me face, I will also give you convenience.
Li Min stood beside his father and saw that Xue Wanche was ungrateful and entangled, and he looked like he would never give up until he achieved his goal. He scolded, "You are the General Yingyanglang who guarded Fuyu City, but you left your post without authorization and led your army to leave the garrison. The consequences are too serious. Although there is an Andong garrison there taking over your defense, this will not relieve your guilt. Once you are investigated, you will have to lose your skin even if you die. So you should return to Fuyu City immediately. For the sake of Wuyin Gong, my elders turned a blind eye and pretended that this was not the case."
Xue Wanche shouted, "You misunderstood. I will never dare to leave my post without permission. I left Fuyu City after receiving the order from Deputy Guardian Li Hun of Andong. Otherwise, I would not dare to leave the garrison one day without permission."
Li Min sneered, "Who can you blame yourself?"
Li Min knew that it was Xue Wanche who caused trouble himself. With Li Hun's current situation, it was impossible to provoke Xue Shixiong, and it was even more impossible to use Xue Wanche to make a trap for Xue Shixiong. So the only possibility is that Xue Wanche himself wanted to participate in the Eastern Expedition, and thought of robbing credit on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and Li Hun took the trick. Since you were going to go by yourself, why don't I just go with the flow? Just use you to see if you can pull your father to the King of Qi. If you take a step back, even if you can't pull it, it can still cause trouble for the Holy Lord and make Xue Shi's ambitions shudder.
Li Zixiong saw through it at a glance. He had no intention of making enemies for himself and Andong, so he ordered Xue Wanche to return to Fuyu City immediately, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
Xue Wanche is not an impulsive teenager, how can he bear the consequences? Besides, since he is determined to take credit on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, his father also gave him hints and support in his letters. It is clear that he wants to "guaranteed" himself. What else is he afraid of? But he must be cautious in everything. If he handles things well and does not bother his father, he does not need to come forward to deal with the aftermath, wouldn't he be able to better prove his ability?
But Li Zixiong is obviously more difficult to deal with than Li Hun, so Xue Wanche weighed the pros and cons and had to reveal some "details", otherwise he would not be able to pass Li Zixiong's level at all.

April 26, domestic city.
Han Shiye led the Hu Ben Army, Fengyun Army and Leopard Cavalry to march for days and finally arrived at the domestic city as quickly as possible.
On the way, they received a letter from Li Fengyun, knowing that the domestic city had been taken down and the selection of horses had crossed the river and advanced eastward, so they were more anxious and ran faster. There was no way, there was a serious shortage of food and grass, and it was stranded in remote areas for a long time, which did not help alleviate the crisis. Only by quickly entering the hinterland of Pyongyang to burn, kill and loot, and use war to support the war, can the problem be solved.
Gao Hu, the chief executive of the Dragon Cavalry, left the city to greet him.
After a brief greeting, Han Shiye immediately asked, "Is there any news about the Deputy Protector and the Selected Front Army?"
"There is good news." Gao Hu smiled, "On the afternoon of April 23, the Selected Front Army captured Hamkyung City, an important town on the northeast coast of Yalu River. After plundering overnight, he went south the next day and killed Yushui and left. Judging from the journey, the Selected Front Army should arrive at Yushui today and start attacking Longlin City under the Yushui River."
Han Shiyan was very surprised, and the general managers of the army surrounded him, including Guo Ming, Xu Shisan, Zhong Xin, Cao Kun, Xun's eldest son, Niu Jinda, etc., were also smiling happily.
"Can there be food and grass supplements?" Han Shiye asked immediately, "In order to speed up the speed of the journey, our army's light vehicles are simple and there is very little food and grass brought by them, and it is urgently needed to supplement them."
Gao Hu hesitated for a moment, and Han Shiye immediately said, "If there is difficulty in supplying here, our army can immediately cross the river and advance eastward and quickly go to Hamkyung City."
"No." Gao Hu hurriedly dissuaded, "You have marched more than a hundred miles a day since you set out from Fuyu. You have been trapped in the country and need rest. Someone's suggestion is that you will temporarily stay in the domestic city, replenish food and grass while restoring your strength, and be prepared to cross the river. Just wait for the subsequent army to join the river and advance eastward."
Han Shiye understood it, "You want to take the Dragon Cavalry Army to cross the river first?"
"The selection army has reached Jiangnan Mountain. If the Dragon Cavalry does not chase after him, they will fall behind." Gao Huyu told the double point, reminding Han Shiye that his Dragon Cavalry is a member of the selection army. If it weren't for waiting for the main force of the central army, the Dragon Cavalry would have crossed the Yalu River long ago.
Han Shiyan smiled slightly, exchanged glances with the general manager of the army around him, and said without thinking, "I have a good intention. Since the Deputy Protectorate has handed over the important task of garrisoning the domestic city to the Dragon Cavalry Army, you must perform your duties conscientiously. How can you cross the river without authorization?"
Then he raised his whip and pointed at the general manager of the army beside him, and shouted sternly, "Are the troops already exhausted and exhausted? "
The generals denied it in one go.
Han Shiye waved the horse whip hard, and his voice was stern, "Does the armies still have the strength to cross the river and advance eastward?"
The generals agreed.
"I'll send an order to camp by the river tonight and cross the river eastward tomorrow!"
The generals took the order with a loud bang, then turned the horse's head and left as if flying.
Gao Hu smiled bitterly, "Ming Gong, Ham Kyung City has become a ruin. If you cross the river immediately, not only will the soldiers not get rest, but the food and grass cannot be replenished. Even if you try your best to catch up with the Selected Front Army, you will not be able to fight. Instead, it will become a burden. If an accident occurs, will it ruin the reputation of Ming Gong for his lifetime?"
"Is there any other name?" Han Shiye pointed at Gao Hu's nose without hesitation and cursed, "I'm now spending all day with you horse thieves and bandits all day long. My name has been left to the end of my life. Where can I have any other name? If I want to make a comeback, I can only capture Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo and build a great martial arts. So I want to cross the river, cross the river immediately, and go to Jiangnan Mountain to meet the selection army day and night. As for you..." Han Shiye was very arrogant and poked Gao Hu's chest with his horse whip, "Put your dirty thoughts and keep your home city honestly. Pyongyang City is very big. If you want to win Pyongyang, it's far from a single day to fight. Therefore, you still have to fight this battle. You don't have to worry about not having any chance to plunder. You will know when you kill into Pyongyang in the future. There are also mountains of gold and silver in this world that you can't move at all."
Although Gao Hu was angry, his status was very different from Han Shiyan. He was not comparable to Han Shiyan, so he could only hold back his anger with a smile and could only respond repeatedly.
Han Shiye had something to ask Gao Hu, and he could stop it. He changed his subject, "Since Ham Kyung City has become a ruin and cannot be replenished with food and grass, and he will lead his army across the river to advance east tomorrow, and he urgently needs food and grass. I have to trouble you. Please support General Gao and help me."
Gao Hu was also slick. While agreeing repeatedly, he observed his expression and expression. Seeing Han Shiyan's expression slowed down, he said quietly, "Ming Gong, the selection of the front is a horse army, and the speed is very fast. In a few days, he may have crossed the Jiangnan Mountains and the troops are facing the Sashui River. The journey to Sashui is long, at least seven or eight hundred miles. Not only is the journey difficult, but it also goes deeper into the hinterland of Goguryeo. Ming Gong is not familiar with the place, and if he is not careful, he may encounter unexpected problems. If a horse army is a scout, and the road is opened in front and detectives on both wings, the risk will be greatly reduced."
This sentence entered Han Shiye's ears and came into effect immediately.
Gao Hu was right. The army went deep into the hinterland of the enemy country and was a steep terrain, which was equivalent to being a deaf and blind man. The danger was imaginable. But it would be different if there was a horse army as a scout. Especially Gao Hu's Dragon Cavalry, most of its controlling soldiers came from horse bandits in the Songmo area, including all races in the northeastern border. It is likely that there were all Muhe people, Fuyu people, and Goguryeo people. These people may lack some in wars, but when it comes to robbing families, killing people and robbing people, those are all experts. It is more than enough to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy country to be scouts, and can fully protect the main army.
Han Shiye made a decisive decision. As for whether he denies himself and slaps himself in the face, it is not a problem at all.
"The garrison in the domestic city is here to arrange it." Han Shiye reached out and patted Gao Hu on the shoulder, and a smile was barely squeezed out on his face. "Tomorrow morning, the Dragon Cavalry will cross the river first, and some will lead the troops to follow up."
Gao Hu was overjoyed and bowed to his promise.
