Chapter four hundred and thirty first victory in the first battle
The first encounter in Chongde County did not have any highlights.
More than 30,000 bandits met the main army of the Song Dynasty. They were not panicked after being double-teamed by left and right sides. Because the imperial guards had seen each other for more than two months, they broke up and ran away without fighting. With the courage of winning for several months, the bandits, led by Wang Yin, launched a counterattack against the imperial guards.
The imperial guards of the six northwest routes were stationed at the border for many years, with more victory than defeat. They once fought to the capital of Xixia in one fell swoop. No matter how weak Xixia was, they were stronger than the uprising army formed by a group of refugees. At first, the imperial guards from the west who came from afar were a little guilty. After all, the news that Fang La's army had all the magical weapons from the sky and attacked all spread throughout the Song Dynasty, and their morale was so strong that they did not take them seriously. Several imperial guards carefully staggered the frontal battlefield and chose to attack the flanks.
As a result, after the Fang La army's howling charge, even the imperial guard's gun array did not collapse, and both sides were stunned.
Wang Yin found that the hand felt wrong, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and led the team to break through. Then he chased the north and drove Fang La's army more than ten miles away.
Soon, the news that "the great victory in Chongde County was that Tong Guan and Wang Bing led their troops south to defeat Fang La's rebels, and killed 6,000 enemies, and Cao Hua's formation killed the enemy general Li Tianrun" reached the capital. Zhao Jielong was very happy, and all civil and military officials were relieved. After all, this was the first time that Jiangnan won a battle in three months, which also shows that it was not the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, but the imperial guards of the Jiangnan, and the Western troops of the Song Dynasty could still fight.
This encounter was also the first battle after Cao Hua joined the army. Although Li Tianrun was unlucky to hit the gun, he could not kill him if he had any other people. Once he had a military general, he would have to remember his military merits when he was killed. For a time, many court officials who complained about Cao Hua still had some objections.
Li Tianrun, one of the four major marshals of the rebels, came up and killed Li Tianrun. When the rebellion was over, he would probably have to be given a real military position. Behind him is King Kang, his ubiquitous spy, or his confidant of the emperor, and his naked party leader template. He could sit smoothly as a rank-in official without making contributions. If he made contributions again, in more than ten years, would the "Cao Tai Sui" not become "Cao Taiwei" or "Cao Tai Shi"?
The court officials were unwilling to let Cao Hua enter the officialdom, and this was the only thing they were worried about, and they couldn't help but be unable to suppress them.
But no matter how objection is, there is nothing to say. If you are legitimate, you can't erase other people's military achievements. If you can't erase them, you have to be promoted and granted according to the rules. Just like Xuzhou's crackdown on bandits, you only reward jewelry, gold and silver without mentioning military achievements. The generals guarding the border must rebel. After all, their lips are lost and their teeth are cold.
Although the court officials could not allow the emperor to remove Cao Hua's military post, it was still possible to provide slight restrictions.
You must have troops to lead troops to fight. What soldiers do you bring depends on the Privy Council. The emperor asked you to be a military officer in Hangzhou, so he naturally led the troops of Hangzhou. He could not give you the Northwest Imperial Army.
So, Cao Hua received a commendation letter and a transfer order in Chongde County, and went to Hangzhou to lead a thousand "elite soldiers" to help Tong Guan quell the rebellion.
--------
"His grandma, Hangzhou is in Fang La's hands. How can the governor lead the troops?"
In the mansion where King Kang was staying, ten vigilants surrounded him, and they were furious when they looked at the transfer order in Cao Hua's hand.
Han'er held her chest and was so angry that her teeth were itchy. The military officers of Muzhou had two thousand soldiers under her command. The eighth-rank officers were joined by the army, or the soldiers from large places like Hangzhou would have to have at least three thousand imperial guards under her command. The result was good. She was happy for half a month and gave one thousand soldiers.
It’s better, one thousand is only one thousand. Tong Guan brought the Northwest Imperial Guard with 150,000 strong soldiers and horses to come over and refused to give it to him. He had to take it himself. The Hangzhou Imperial Guard is hiding in that mountain valley and pretending to be dead. How can he take it?
Han'er said with a slightly cold look: "Who issued the order to transfer this? I will write a letter to Old Man Lu, and I can kill him in secret."
Li Bairen was also annoyed: "Why would you say something to the emperor and transfer two thousand black feather guards to directly kill Fang La."
Two thousand Black Feather Guards, half of the troops were brave in battles, and half of the elites in the martial arts world really ran out to Hangzhou. They dared not say that they were assassinating the city. They were very sure of assassinating Fang La at any cost.
However, this is obviously unrealistic. The straight line distance is more than 1,400 miles. What should I do if the emperor guards run so far away? I will kill Fang La, Cao Hua at all costs and be reluctant to leave. I will say that it will take half a year to get a black feather guard and train. I usually can't make up for a year or two. After the fight, he will really become the commander of the barely-stop commander.
Cao Hua thought about it and put the transfer order in: "Forget it, go and ask where the defenders in Xiamuzhou are now, and tell General Tong to my name. Let Old Man Lu transfer all the spies from Jiangnan to near Hangzhou to ensure that the movements of Fang La's army with more than a thousand men fall into our eyes. This time, we will focus on protecting King Kang's safety and help with the rebellion."
"promise!"
Ten Yuhou immediately stood up to take the order, then squatted down again, Huang Tiehai complained:
"Isn't this a disgusting person to take the Black Feather Guard to take it, and give it to a group of baby soldiers from Jiangnan? Isn't this disgusting person? A man was beaten by ten refugees and ran away with his head. If such a person is in the Black Feather Guard, he will be disgusted with him when he sees the warehouse."
"Yes, yes, Ah Fu who is looking at the warehouse is all a well-known man. His skills are comparable to Jing Feng who is looking at the door. It's a pity that his hands are ruined..."
"By the way, Lao Jing looks straightforward and is really erect. He first gave the girl to the governor, and then kidnapped Boss Li's daughter. I want me to see, Xu Ning's envoy is probably over..."
Cao Hua was speechless and coughed, and the group of Yuhou scattered the birds and beasts, disappearing completely.
-----
The imperial army was divided into two ends. Tong Guan led his army to attack Hangzhou, Tan Zhen attacked Shezhou, and then met in Muzhou. The imperial guards who arrived in Hangzhou had already set up camp outside Chongde County, waiting for the remaining troops to arrive one after another. The imperial guard camp will complete the task tomorrow, and they will set out to conquer Zhouxian along the route and march towards Hangzhou.
At this time, Chongde County was holding a celebration banquet. After all, the flag was successful, and the generals from all walks of life in the northwest had just met, so it was natural to gather together. King Kang was in Jiangnan. Since he was naturally not absent from nearby, Song Yang and Zhao Huai also went there, and Cao Hua stayed at home to bully his sister-in-law.
It is logical that at the celebration banquet, Cao Hua killed an enemy general and had a military position, so he should be there.
But the embarrassing thing is that the eighth-rank official of the military is in the military, and he has to sit in the corners of the banquet. Cao Huazhen arrived. I guess everyone except Tong Guan, everyone else had to get up to greet him. He was definitely not good at scaring people with a cold face. It was probably even more scary. He was too lazy to go there, so that everyone could not be comfortable.
Cao Hua returned to the back house, walked past Zhao Fei's wing room, raised his hand and pushed it down the door, and found that the door was tied, probably knowing that he would come.
Dongdong--
Cao Hua raised his hand and knocked: "Sister Fei'er, open the door."
"...Monmaster Cao, I'm asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do."
A faint sound came from the room.
Cao Hua thought for a moment, then he used a little force to break the door bolt and enter the room.
"ah--"
Zhao Fei, who was sitting at the head of the bed, shivered, but unexpectedly Cao Hua could break into the door. After being slightly surprised, he put down the needle and thread in anger, wanted to speak but stopped, and buckled the cloth buckle of the spring shirt sideways.
The room was warmer. Zhao Fei had washed up and was about to rest. She had already left her silk cloth. She was wearing a dark green spring shirt as thin as a cicada wing. The light silk shirt was close to her body and smooth her neck. The cloth buckles were unbuttoned on her neck. A piece of white appeared on her shirt, and a red bellyband appeared faintly.
Cao Hua looked like he was not polite, closed the door, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, with a friendly smile:
"I may have to lead troops out to do business tomorrow. I cannot take women in the army. Sister Fei'er will be alone in the empty room again."
Zhao Fei didn't get up to greet her now. After tidying up her clothes, she picked up the needle and thread again, lowered her head and was busy on her own:
"I've been in a ten-year widow, and I've been used to it for a long time. If it weren't for you...hum..."
Cao Hua raised his eyebrows slightly and walked up to him, wanting to take a look at what she was embroidering. He never thought that Zhao Fei hid the needle and thread immediately behind his waist, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Monkey King Cao, why are you so unaware of the rules?"
Cao Hua joked a little: "I saw the embroidered mandarin ducks when I entered the door."
Zhao Fei's face turned red, she looked at him for a few glances, and then continued to lower her head and embroider the mandarin ducks.
The room was quiet for a moment.
Zhao Fei noticed Cao Hua was standing in front of him, raised her head again, feeling helpless:
"What do you always stand in front of me? What's the beauty of embroidery in a woman?"
"Yes, what's so good about embroidery?"
Cao Hua chuckled softly and untied the tether from the curtain.
Zhao Feixiang frowned slightly, took a breath, placed the needle and thread on the stool at the head of the bed, fell back with her fate, closed her eyes in a proper manner, and looked like a short pain was worse than a long pain.
Cao Hua looked at him condescendingly, a little dissatisfied:
"Sister Fei'er, you can resist a little, you are my sister-in-law..."
Zhao Fei was angry and annoyed, and finally couldn't hold it in. She sat up again, and her chest trembled. She raised her hand and pushed Cao Hua:
"You go out for me, I won't marry anymore, I will know how to bully a woman all day long, you... you don't know shame..."
