Jujube is now in Yanjin, the county government.
It was almost noon, and the rain was still falling, but it was lighter than yesterday, but it didn't stop.
Cui Qianyou finally slept in and didn't get up until noon to have breakfast.
There were a lot of things on a big table.
He was the only one sitting at the table enjoying the fifteen dishes, surrounded by seven or eight serving maids.
A soaked soldier ran in panting and plopped down on the ground and said: "General, urgent military situation.
Last night, the Tang army forcibly crossed the river on the bank of Chenliu River and raided Li Huaixian's general Zhu Xicai.
Zhu Xicai was unprepared, and the entire army of 20,000 men When the enemy was destroyed, Zhu Xicai fled north with only a dozen of his own soldiers.
He passed by Dunqiu but did not enter.
He bypassed Dunqiu and fled to the north.
Kuangcheng, Kuangcheng After Li Huaixian learned that Zhao Ziliang was personally leading the troops, he was worried that Zhao Ziliang would divide his troops to besiege Kuangcheng, so he abandoned a large amount of supplies, food and military equipment, and fled with his troops and horses overnight towards Puyang.
The villains and others discovered that Zhao Ziliang had captured it last night.
We have sent 3,000 cavalry to Dunqiu this morning to Kuangcheng.
We must have occupied Kuangcheng without spending a single soldier at this time."
Although Cui Qianyou has a perverse and violent temper, he is unambiguous in military affairs.
When it rains so heavily, he will send out sentries to explore the military situation in the surrounding areas.
He is not only on guard against the Tang army, but also on guard against Li Huaixian, and even on guard against his own generals. , he has a large number of soldiers under his command They all took over from Cai Xide.
These soldiers were not very convinced by him and often ignored his military orders.
For this reason, he killed many people and finally made those people more obedient, but he knew Some people would definitely want to kill him, so he had to be careful.
Cui Qianyou's face suddenly turned pale after hearing the whistleblower's report.
He immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
"The villain dares to guarantee with his head, there is absolutely nothing false" Cui Qianyou had no appetite at this time, and his brain started to work urgently.
He analyzed that the reason why Li Huaixian was defeated so quickly and so miserably was that on the one hand, the Tang army crossed the Yellow River in the rain and caught Li Huaixian by surprise.
The rebels were already guilty.
After being raided, there was not much resistance at all, so they were defeated quickly.
On the other hand, Li Huaixian was frightened by Zhao Ziliang when he followed Yin Ziqi.
After Zhao Ziliang's surprise attack, he was so frightened that he still dared to stay in Kuangcheng.
The reason why the Tang army captured Dunqiu and Kuangcheng so quickly was that they took advantage of the weather to carry out sneak attacks.
Zhao Ziliang should not do this again next time.
It is raining so hard, even for a particularly strong warrior.
He couldn't stay outside in the rain for a long time, and using cavalry to siege the city was simply not feasible.
Zhao Ziliang was attacking lightly, so there must be no Carrying the baggage in the camp, Cui Qianyou deduced that Zhao Ziliang's Tang army should stay in Dunqiu City and Kuangcheng, and there would be no more big moves before the weather cleared.
But even so, Zhao Ziliang's move had already made Cui Qianyou Huge pressure, facing enemies on three sides, this kind of situation is not pleasant, and if it doesn't go well, you are very likely to be dumped.
Cui Qianyou cursed in his heart that Li Huaixian was scared out of his wits by Zhao Ziliang and led his troops to escape, exposing his left wing to a huge threat.
At the same time, he had to lament that this man ran very fast.
Now that Li Huaixian ran away, Cui Qianyou thought that with only the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, he could not outflank the nearly half a million Tang army.
He felt that it was time for him to withdraw.
If he didn't take advantage of the bad weather to withdraw, if he waited until the weather cleared, , Tang Army's infantry group crossed the river, and the cavalry moved at high speed to surround and outflank him.
At that time, it was impossible for him to retreat calmly with his troops.
Cui Qianyou immediately ordered: "Come here, send an order to Yangwu County, and ask all the generals to lead their troops to retreat in the rain until they are stationed in Weizhou.
The generals and garrison troops stationed in other cities and places are not allowed to retreat without orders.
Anyone who disobeys the order." cut" "Follow your orders" Cui Qianyou immediately gave orders to the generals and commanders of the Suizao Department, asking them to take urgent action, pack up and prepare to retreat.
In the 18th year of Tianbao, on October 28th, Cui Qianyou's main force of 120,000 troops began to retreat northward.
A part of 20,000 troops withdrew to Weizhou, and he himself withdrew to Huazhou and Huazhou with his main force of 100,000 troops.
Chaoge is on the front line, and at the same time, he sends people to work with the official Li Huaixian's troops who had retreated to Puyang got in touch with each other to discuss helping to defend the Tang army.

They also sent someone to send a memorial to An Qingxu in Xiangzhou, reporting the news of the Tang army's large-scale invasion, and asked An Qingxu to issue an order to Li Huaixian and place Li Huaixian's troops under Moderate yourself.
Zhao Ziliang is indeed as Cui Qianyou speculated.
After occupying Dunqiu and Kuangcheng, he is not ready to launch an offensive for the time being because the weather does not allow it and there is no condition for an attack.
It is already very cold and raining, and the soldiers cannot last long.
Marching in the rain and attacking a city will not only fail Obtaining results will be counterproductive.
Although the soldiers will carry out the orders, they are always reluctant in their hearts.
Forcibly crossing the Yellow River for raids can only be done occasionally, but if the soldiers are often allowed to march in the rain and fight in the cold, No matter how loyal a soldier is, his loyalty will inevitably decline.
The commander of the army should be lenient and strict, and should be appropriately comforted.
Occasionally, allowing the soldiers to fight once or twice in bad weather conditions to achieve good results will not only not disgust the soldiers, but will make the soldiers more loyal because they have won the battle.
With rewards, the soldiers will not worry about marching in the rain.
Princess Xinping has been obsessed with Zhao Ziliang ever since she got married.
She always spends more than 20 days with him all day long out of the 30 days in a month.
She has been wielding swords and guns since she was a child.
She has strong bones and a tall body. , are very good at horseback riding and archery, even if they follow Zhao Ziliang There was no problem with the military operations.
Even when Zhao Ziliang was handling official duties, she would often put on the armor of a soldier and serve tea and water by her side.
Zhao Ziliang saw that Princess Xinping did not act like a princess at all, but instead stayed by her side like Xiaojiabiyu, working hard and without complaint.
Take care of yourself, very touching.
"Husband, I cooked some bird's nest porridge for you, you can try it."
When Zhao Ziliang was processing official documents, Princess Xinping came over with a bowl of steaming porridge and said.
Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang put down the official document and writing brush and said with a smile: "Madam cooked it with her own hands, so I must try it."
After saying that, he took the bowl, picked up the soup spoon, took a spoonful and put it into his mouth to taste it.
He nodded repeatedly as he ate and said: "Well, um, it's delicious, it's delicious.
Madam, your craftsmanship is so good.
It's the same as Who learned it?”
When Princess Xinping heard her sweetheart praising her cooking skills, she felt as sweet as drinking a bowl of sugar water.
She smiled and said: "When I married my husband, my father was worried that I was not used to our food taste, so he gave me a treat."
The name of the chef of the imperial dining room is given to the slave family, and the slave family learned from the imperial chef."
Zhao Ziliang said: "I see, there is a royal chef at home, but you still cook porridge for me with your own hands.
Madam is really a good wife and kind.
I have finished eating.
Thank you madam for the porridge."
Princess Xinping took the bowl and said with a smile: "Then you can continue with your official duties.
I will go back to the backyard first.
I will prepare some side dishes for you to go with your wine at noon."
"Madam can also cook dishes, so I must try it."
Princess Xinping returned to the backyard and found that there was still a lot of porridge left.
She felt a little hungry, so she asked the maid to fill a bowl for herself, took a bite with a spoon, and an extremely bitter salty taste filled her entire mouth.
She immediately spit it out with a grimace, "Why is it so bitter and salty?
I must have added too much salt.
Oh, it tastes so bad.
Why does my husband say it tastes so delicious?"
The maid next to her smiled and said: "Princess, the commander-in-chief feels sorry for you.
Even if the food you make is terrible, the commander-in-chief will eat it.
How can he say it to your face and make you embarrassed?
Princess, hello Oh, you are so happy.

The commander loves you so much, and all the slaves are so envious of you."
When Princess Xinping heard what the maid said, the bitterness on her face disappeared.
She felt extremely happy in her heart and in a very sad mood.
At this moment, she felt a sourness welling up from the depths of her throat, and she couldn't help but vomited on the spot.
But she couldn't spit anything out.
When the maid saw this, she was surprised and said: "Oh, princess, what's wrong with you?
Are you sick?
I'll go and fetch the doctor right away."
Not long after Xinping left, Xuan Ba, the envoy of Youyi Army, walked in and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Commander, all the prisoners have been found somewhere to be detained and resettled.
These prisoners are very honest, and no one has been found trying to escape or instigating other prisoners.
Escape, there are many prisoners who actively ask to join our army."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered Xuanba: "Guarding these rebels will require a lot of our troops.
I think so, I will temporarily transfer some deputies from Youyi Army to serve as the main generals of this captive army.
As for the middle and low-level officers below, Position from The main targets for promotion among former prisoners are those who have performed well and actively requested to join our army.
After completing these tasks, the soldiers will be removed from custody and the generals who have been sent there will be able to take charge of them.
I believe they have the ability to manage this army well.
"Captive Army" Xuanba cupped his fists and said, "Okay, Marshal."
Zhao Ziliang asked again: "How have our soldiers been doing these past two days?
Has anyone contracted the cold?"
Xuan Ba said: "There are a dozen soldiers who are almost infected with the cold, but the general has ordered them to be isolated, and at the same time he has sent people to ask a doctor to diagnose and treat them."
"Very good."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, thought for a while and ordered: "Send someone to Chenliu and let Gao Shang, Cen Shen, Zhao Ting, Lai Ai, Li Zhuan and others lead their troops across the river one after another.
However, it should not be done too hastily or on a large scale. , Now that it is raining heavily, it is not easy to transport food and grass supplies.
If there are too many soldiers and horses coming, the food and grass supply will be insufficient.
Although we have captured some in Dunqiu and Kuangcheng, we cannot withstand the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops."
"I understand, I will make arrangements now."
After talking to him, Zhao Ziliang also got up and walked to the gate of the county government office to do some activities, but he met a maid and a doctor coming out of the backyard.
"Meet the Marshal" Zhao Ziliang saw the doctor carrying the medicine box and asked, "What's going on?
Who is sick?"
The doctor smiled and saluted: "Congratulations, Commander, Congratulations, Commander, Madam is very happy."
"What are you so happy about?"
Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and then walked quickly to the backyard
