The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 189 Counter-offensive battle, go back to Jiangling

Tick, it was detected that Zhao Yun rode alone outside Dangyang City and charged into Xiao Liang's formation.

Relying on a gentian silver gun in his hand and the god horse Yezhaoyu lion horse in his crotch, he killed several back and forth in the formation.

The soldiers who killed the rebels were terrified and retreated calmly.

Therefore, according to the Judgment of the Summoning Stone, Zhao Yun achieved the achievement of "seven in and seven out" in the original history.

Therefore, the Summoning Stone will reward the host with the blueprint of Mo Dao, one of the weapons of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing for a long time, Gao Qi only heard that the reward was only the blueprint of Modao, so he couldn't help but feel an urge to scold his mother.

You must know that Zhao Yun achieved this achievement after a narrow escape and risking his life.

But the reward given by the Summoning Stone is just a blueprint of the Modao.

Although Gao Qi from later generations knew that the weapon of Modao was extremely sharp, and it was one of the effective weapons for infantry to fight against cavalry.

The reason why Mo Dao first appeared was that it was used in the Tang Dynasty to deal with Turkic cavalry.

It should be noted that since ancient times, infantry have inherent disadvantages against cavalry.

And with the appearance of the long sword Mo Dao, the pawns were gradually allowed to confront the cavalry pawns face to face.

However, although Gao Qi got the blueprint of Mo Dao now, he decided to seal it up for the time being.

Because just having a blueprint doesn't mean it can be manufactured.

Now, Gao Qi doesn't have anyone who is very proficient in craftsmen, and he can only hand over the Modao blueprints for research after summoning craftsmen in the future.

…………

It is only said that Zhao Yun led the Flying Eagle Army to support Dangyang City.

Since then, it has become even more difficult for the rebels to attack Dangyang County.

Because, every time Xiao Ming commanded the whole army to go all out to attack the city, Zhao Yun would lead the Flying Eagle Army on time to harass the rebel soldiers.

If things go on like this, the rebels are harassed by the Flying Eagle Army and have no fighting spirit.

But there is nothing to do with the Flying Eagle Army. It is really that the mobility of the light cavalry is too fast.

They almost fought as they wanted, and fled as they wanted. The rebel soldiers had no advantage at all.

A few days later, Xiao Ling, the general of Xiangjiang River, died in battle, and the news that all the [-] soldiers surrendered finally reached the rebel camp in Dangyang.

The news of this bolt from the blue was like a stormy sea, shocking the world.

In an instant, the generals and sergeants in the camp couldn't help trembling.

One must know that the [-] troops of the Northern Expedition were the most elite troops in Xiao Liang's army.

But now, the Sui army took in one hundred thousand rebels without any effort.

How can such incredible combat power not shock the rebel soldiers?
At this time, the entire Yanmen army also finished its rest, and Emperor Yang Guang also responded.

First, he praised Gao Qi and the generals under his command in the imperial decree, and then said that Gao Qi should continue to make persistent efforts and continue to go south to suppress the rebellion.

As for Gao Qi's great achievements, why didn't Yang Guang give any indicative rewards?
The reason is Gao Qi's age.

Now, Gao Qi is only about 19 years old, and he has not even reached the age of [-] to win the championship.

He has been worshiped as a general of hussars, and he is in the second rank. Politically, he is the son-in-law of the emperor Yang Guang.

Such an honor is far beyond Gao Qi's age.

Moreover, the most important point is that if Gao Qi wins every battle, he will be appointed an official.

When Gao Qi defeated Xiao Xian's rebellion, wouldn't Gao Qi be able to be promoted to the general of the military guard because of his meritorious service?
Since ancient times, what has the emperor feared most?Lord of high power!
Although the more meritorious service a courtier has made, the greater his ability is, but the suspicion of the king will also appear accordingly.

If Gao Qi was young at this time, his promotion speed would be as fast as riding a rocket.

That must be the time when Gao Qi can only do meritorious deeds, and there is no reward for him.

At that time, the only way to do it is to be the queen bee.

But dukes and princes have too much freedom, not only have their own fiefs, but also form their own army.

Such a situation is equivalent to the local emperor.

Therefore, conferring kings and dukes has been the most dreaded thing for those in power since ancient times.

Probably because, the duke and duke are so powerful!
Just like Cao Cao in history, didn't he want to be a capable minister in the early days?
It's just because he has been in a high position all year round and controls the supreme power.

Gradually, his heart was also invaded by power, his ambition rose slowly, and he finally became the founder of Wei State.

Moreover, another important factor is that the civil servants and generals under Cao Cao also need Cao Cao to be king and public.

Because, only when Cao Cao goes to the next level, can their status rise with the tide.

This is 'one prosperity, one loss, one loss'!
…………

After the rest of the Yanmen army was completed, Gao Qi stayed at Ding Tianqing and Mao Gongsui with [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Xiangyang City to guard the prisoners.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi took Zheng Chenggong as the general of the navy, led [-] soldiers and horses, and drove the captured warships of the Xiaoliang Army along the Xiangjiang River.

And Gao Qi personally led the army, marched by land day and night, and made an agreement with Zheng Chenggong that the two armies would meet at Jiangling City.

With land and water advancing side by side, the Sui army's prestige was even greater.

Xiao Liang's army, who had been unable to attack Dangyang for a long time, heard that the main force of Yanmen was heading south.

The chief general Xiao Ming didn't think too much, he ordered the whole army to withdraw overnight and rushed towards the royal city Jiangling.

joke?After several days of fierce fighting, the entire army has been severely downsized.

Now, there are only about [-] soldiers and horses left, how can they be the opponents of the nearly [-] Yanmen Army?
I'm afraid that if the retreat is not timely, Xiao Ming will become the second Xiao Ling.

A few days later, Gao Qi led the army without stopping, and the whole army finally arrived at Dangyang, the county seat of Jingling County.

After receiving the news, Xu Zhi and Zhao Yun went to Kaesong to greet him.

…………

Inside the county government office, Gao Qi was discussing the next situation with the generals and counselors.

It is only said that Liu Bowen, the adviser, stood up first, shook his feather fan lightly, and said: "Now our army has marched to Dangyang City."

"Dangyang is not far from Jiangling. As long as you pass Changban, you will be within walking distance."

"It's just that what our army should consider now is, what if Xiao Mian, the leader of the bandits, gathers people to stand firm?"

"It should be noted that the rebel army still has [-] troops in Jiangling."

For a while, according to what can be said to be a sharp hit, he said the next move.

Immediately, Zhong Yao also stood up and added: "Not only that, Xiao Xian has occupied the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, and he has already made Jiangling as solid as gold."

"Not to mention the high walls of Jiangling City, there must still be plenty of food and grass, plus it faces the Yangtze River to the south."

"Under such a total of reasons, as long as the rebels defend the city, our army's strong attack is meaningless except for additional casualties."

All of a sudden, the crowd was bustling, and they raised the question.

However, after discussing for a long time, no one resolved the matter.

In desperation, Gao Qi had no choice but to wave his hand to end the military discussion.

Although there are many top advisers gathered under Gao Qi's command, the duty of the advisers is to give military advice to the general.

When necessary, it can also be used to supervise the general and the army.

But for a strong city like Jiangling, as long as the enemy is determined to defend it.

Our own army has nothing to do but to attack all the way.

It is useless to allow the counselors to be resourceful.

…………

It is only said that after stabilizing the counties in northern Jing, Gao Qi led the army to go south again.
