Fengqiu, before the Northern Expeditionary Army Marshal set out to camp, he wrote Fengqiu as Dunqiu.
Please correct it here.
"Commander, the battle report came from the forward army.
Chu Ge's troops launched an attack on the rebels in Xiuwu City on February 16th.
The rebels held on for two days and then surrendered.
Our army captured more than 2,000 people; Li Siye's troops also captured them on the same day.
During the rebel attack on Wuzhi City, the rebels were completely determined to defend the city.
Our army attacked fiercely for five days, broke into the city, and killed more than 2,600 rebels and captured them.
Three hundred prisoners were captured, and countless grain, fodder, baggage, ordnance and equipment were seized.
At present, Chu Ge's troops were approaching Yinzhou, Li Siye was advancing north to Xinxiang City, and Zhao Ting's troops in the rear of the Beiting Army were heading north from Yangwu, approaching Xinxiang.
Being attacked from three sides, we were afraid of being besieged, so we withdrew to Weizhou overnight, and our army captured the new county seat without spending a single soldier."
The generals and officials in the lobby all nodded and discussed after hearing these battle reports.
It had only been a few days since the war started, and only the elite of the Beiting Army could break through the long-established defense line of the rebels in such a short period of time.
Centaur can do it.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "What is the current situation of Cui Qianyou's tribe in Hebi, Dangyuan, and Li Huaixian's tribe in Puyang?"
Wang Can cupped his fists and said: "Cui Qianyou is stepping up war preparations in Danyuan, and a large amount of ordnance and supplies have been transported from Yecheng to Danyuan, Chaoge and Liyang, but An Qingxu has shown no sign of adding more troops to Cui Qianyou; Li Huaixian in Puyang has shown no sign The movement was just an increase in plundering the surrounding people.
Li Huaixian did not repair the city in Puyang, but the training of soldiers and horses was carried out very diligently."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, looked at the officials and generals gathered in the lobby, and shouted: "Henan envoy, King Wu Li Zhuan" Li Zhuan was fully clothed, holding the hilt of his sword, he stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "The general will be here."
Zhao Ziliang said again: "The Jiedushi envoy of Shannan East Road came to Lai, and the Linhuai Jiedushi envoy He Lan came to Ming Dynasty."
Lai Yi and Helan Jinming also stood up and clasped their fists, saying, "The general will be here."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The three of you are the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition.
With Li Zhuan as the chief general, Lai Yi and Helan Jinming as deputy generals, you will command the Eastern Route Army to advance northward and attack the Puyang and Weizhou lines."
The three of them clasped their fists and said, "Take orders."
Zhao Ziliang then gave instructions to Chen Qing, the marching commander of the Marshal's Mansion: "Give Li Guangbi an order and order Pugu Huai'en to lead his troops to capture Luzhou Shangdang.
Send a letter to Chu Ge and Li Siye and change the forward army to the Northern Expedition West Route Army.
The main force of our army is The Central Army of the Northern Expedition ordered Chu Ge's troops to capture Yinzhou as soon as possible, cooperate with Li Siye and Zhao Ting's troops to capture Weizhou, and the remaining generals will lead their troops to follow me to attack Huazhou."
Everyone stood up and said in unison: "Follow the order."
On February 20, the Central Army, under the command of Zhao Ziliang, marched north and penetrated Huazhou.
The Central Army had 200,000 troops, among which the main force of the Beiting Army consisted of Youyi Army, Heavy Cavalry Army, Archer Cavalry Army, and Guard Army.
Ten thousand people, the rest are all Henan troops.
Facing the approach of Zhao Ziliang's 200,000-strong Middle Route Army, the rebel general Cui Qianyou had to lead the main force to Huazhou to fight.
Otherwise, the rebels in Weizhou, Gongcheng and Chaoge would be in danger of being cut off from their retreat.
Liyang in the north It will also be directly threatened, and the only way is to have a decisive battle with Zhao Ziliang's Middle Route Army in Huazhou.
And this is also Zhao Ziliang's purpose, to force Cui Qianyou to lead the main force to Huazhou for a decisive battle.
Whoever can gain the advantage in this battle will be easy to fight in the next battle.
If Zhao Ziliang loses, he will need to return to Kuangcheng, Suanzao and Feng.
Hill line.
On February 25th, the 200,000-strong Middle Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty arrived in the Wangjia Village area near Huazhou, which was only ten miles away from Huazhou City.
Cui Qianyou did not want to be besieged by the Tang army.
The purpose of leading his army to Huazhou was to seek peace with the city.
Zhao Ziliang's middle route army fought a decisive battle in order to reverse the unfavorable battle situation.
Cui Qianyou only has 100,000 troops in his hands, and they are not all elites.
Their strength is less than half that of Zhao Ziliang's Central Army, and their combat power is even worse.
Cui Qianyou knows this very well, but even so, he He had to lead his army to take the initiative to fight Zhao Ziliang.
This was the only way to reverse the unfavorable situation.

Winning more with less has always been a record that many generals hope for in the military.
This kind of record can be called brilliant, but there are very few who can really win with less.
This kind of record will generally not happen, and it will never happen if it does.
It will happen in a specific environment and time.
For someone like Zhao Ziliang, how can he give Cui Qianyou a chance to win with less?
Zhao Ziliang now has 200,000 troops in his hands.
Although the 170,000 troops of the Henan Army are not as powerful as the main force of the Beiting Army, they are still much stronger than the rebels.
Zhao Ziliang was more than cautious, but not formal in the form of war.
He sent out a large-scale reconnaissance team to conduct a large-scale reconnaissance in a radius of nearly fifty miles, so that the rebels could not make small moves secretly.
Chance.
Until Zhao Ziliang led his army to approach Huazhou, Cui Qianyou did not find a suitable opportunity to attack the Tang army.
He had to bite the bullet and fight Zhao Ziliang.
Now even if he wants to withdraw, it is no longer possible.
The cavalry in Zhao Ziliang's hands is too elite. , retreating now will only be chased to death by the Tang army.
At this time, the army of Li Tang and the army of Yan had their third large-scale battle.
The first time in Yecheng, Xiangzhou, ended with the defeat of the Tang army and the tragic victory of the Yan army.
The second time there was no fight.
Zhao Ziliang led the 11th Beiting Army.
The main force forced Yin Ziqi's 300,000 mob to surrender.
Cui Qianyou's character is as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit.
Once he has his own ideas, he will never listen to anyone's opinions and will persist to the end.
Even if he finally realizes that his persistence is wrong, he will continue to make mistakes to the end. , and at the same time, this person is extremely arrogant , quirks, difficult to get along with others, and almost no friends, so the generals don't like him very much, and they don't admire him very much in their hearts.
However, Cui Qianyou has military talents, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat Bi Sichen, Li Guangbi, and Ge Shu Han, Gao Xianzhi and others.
On February 27, the two sides set up their positions in the south of Huazhou City, preparing for a decisive battle.
Above the battle formation, flags were fluttering, gongs and drums were beating loudly, and an endless array of flags, banners, and flags of various banners were spread over a dozen battlefields in a radius.
"Commander, all our troops are in formation and ready to fight at any time."
Chen Qing climbed up to the commander's platform and reported to Zhao Ziliang with fists in his hands.
Zhao Ziliang said nothing and kept observing the rebel formation with his binoculars.
The morning sun had just come out and there was still a hint of coolness in the air.
Zhao Ziliang observed for a while and found that there were some abnormalities in the rebel formation.
The men and horses that advanced a quarter of the rebel formation were motionless, as if they were drawn in a scroll.
Zhao Ziliang put down the telescope, frowned, and shouted: "Wang Can, is your intelligence wrong?
The rebels really only have 100,000 troops, including 30,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry."
Wang Can came over and clasped his fists and said: "Commander, the military information investigated by the agents is absolutely correct.
This information has been confirmed by multiple agents."
"This is strange," Zhao Ziliang said with a frown, then picked up the binoculars again and looked at the rebel formation.
"Hiss" Zhao Ziliang finally discovered the situation this time and confirmed his speculation, and immediately said: "Bring the map" A soldier immediately brought over a roll of maps.
Zhao Ziliang opened the map and looked around before exhaling.
The generals and commanders nearby all looked at Zhao Ziliang, and Cen Shen asked, "Commander, what have you discovered?"
"I asked how dare Cui Qianyou dare to fight me.
It turns out that he still wanted to send people to attack me secretly to increase the chance of winning."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he pointed at the rebel formation and said, "Look at Cui Qianyou's formation.
When you see the 20,000 cavalry at the rear of the military formation, there are no 20,000 cavalry.
Those are just scarecrows wearing armor and riding on wooden horses.
Only the 10,000 cavalry on the left and right wings of the military formation are real."

"This" the generals were surprised when they heard Zhao Ziliang.
Xuan Ba, the envoy of Youyi Army, cursed: "Oh no, why is Cui Qianyou out of his mind?
Instead of deploying the cavalry in front or on both wings of the military formation, he deployed 20,000 cavalry in the rear.
If there is a fight later, he really wants to use this How could we get 20,000 cavalry in time?
It turned out that the 20,000 cavalry were fake."
Someone immediately asked: "Since the 20,000 cavalry is fake, then where did the real 20,000 cavalry go?
Did Cui Ganyou hide the 20,000 cavalry?
When the full-scale war starts, the 20,000 cavalry will come out.
When the time comes, If all our troops and horses are pressed forward, there will be no extra troops to stop the charge of 20,000 cavalry in time.
Even if we leave enough troops to prevent emergencies, if 20,000 cavalry suddenly attack, our army will definitely be hasty to fight, and it will be inevitable.
If you are in a hurry, the outcome will be unpredictable.”
Everyone couldn't help sweating on their foreheads after hearing this, and they were very happy in their hearts.
Fortunately, they were discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Someone immediately asked: "Where are the 20,000 rebel cavalry now?"
Zhao Ziliang pointed to a place on the map and said: "If my prediction is correct, Cui Qianyou's 20,000 horses must be hidden here."
Erzhu, the commander of the escort, was surprised and said: "Isn't Baliyi within our defense area?
Cui Qianyou has the courage to hide 20,000 cavalry in our defense area?"
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "We are in the dark under the lamp.
This Bali Post is between Puyang and Kuangcheng.
The troops of the Eastern Route Army have already rushed towards Puyang and Weizhou.
No large troops of our army will go to Puyang in the short term." ,Right now Even if there are, they are just some messengers and the like.
As long as they send troops to control the area around Baliyi and catch them one by one, the news that the 20,000 rebels are hiding here will not leak out.
This is also what Cui Qianyou should do to get these two people.
The reason why thousands of people are hiding here is that our detection posts and detailed operations are all arranged in the west and north.
The east is our defense area.
Cui Qianyou has officially taken advantage of this blind spot.
Now the 20,000 people are afraid that they have already moved towards us.
Without further ado, we must take the initiative to send a large army to intercept and defeat the 20,000 rebel cavalry Xuanba.
You lead your 13,000 Youyi Army to search eastward, take the initiative to confront the 20,000 rebel cavalry, and must defeat them."
"Accept the order."
Xuanba agreed with clasped fists, flicked his cloak, turned around and ran off the stage, got on his horse and left
