Chapter 548: Gangneung is besieged
"I think troops should be sent, and the Sui State can't be chaotic now." Li Xiuning said.
Pei Qingxuan nodded, and Li Xiuning explained: "Now that Youzhou has a foothold, it will not be beneficial to us if we are facing the chaos of the Sui Kingdom." ”
"In addition, the Turkic 100,000 soldiers and horses are in the hinterland of the Sui State, if we go north to attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji, we will suffer, and we can't let the Turks be so unscrupulous."
After thinking about it, Pei Qingxuan said: "Then do this, send 50,000 troops to block the Turks." ”
Several women were very much in favor, and it didn't take a few days for the 50,000 supporting soldiers and horses in Youzhou to go out under the leadership of Zhang Jin, Xue Zhi and others, and the attack was mainly blocked.
The information provided by Red Peony is very reliable, and he has long known that Emperor Yang of Sui is already deploying troops and horses, and as long as he waits for the crisis, it can be solved.
At this time, the news that the Turkic invasion was about to reach Gangneung spread, and everyone was terrified, and many wealthy merchants in the general had begun to prepare to move to Youzhou.
Some people have begun to act quietly, and a large number of people and carriages go out of the city every day, and the whole Gangneung is in an inexplicable panic.
Red Peony sent the information to Youzhou, Pei Qingxuan asked Li Shimin to deal with it, and the problem of taking in a large number of people and resettlement must be solved, and now Youzhou has population pressure.
The people who came were all arranged to go to the sixteen states of Youji, but many rich businessmen were different, they knew that no matter how the sixteen states of Youji developed, Youzhou was the main city, and they all chose to stay, and even did not hesitate to ask the city guard to spend money to buy land.
The purpose is to value the commercial development of Youzhou, and this situation is inevitable.
On the premise that there is demand, Li De has long studied with Li Shimin the decree on opening up the purchase of shops, and Li Shimin is very sad about these, although he was not very interested in business before.
But after seeing the real money and such rapid development, I have to admit that this way of business driving urban development is really effective.
Building houses is a matter that is all in progress, and now the outer city has been built outside Youzhou City, and the defense of the inner city has lost some role.
It feels like the imperial city in Chang'an, and many people have this feeling.
Li De is still very concerned about this matter, he has not thought about building the imperial city, he does not want to do things that cost the people and money, and it is enough to build the city lord's mansion for office.
Therefore, the construction of the city wall of Youzhou City has long been stopped, and now the construction of the outer city is continuing, the scale is ten times that of Chang'an City, the shops and residential areas are well planned, except for the large market, the public facilities in each area are very complete.
The style does not continue the style of later generations, but continues to use the style of Chang'an City, to put it bluntly, it is a regional system, a community is responsible for a piece, there are various shops in the street, and daily life does not need to go far.
The house is not far from the house, it is the distance of a few roads, but the community in Youzhou occupies a relatively large place, and it will take more feet to do it.
Knowing that people were coming, Li Shimin began to make full preparations, and there were already many exquisite houses in Youzhou City that were provided for those who were rich.
People who do not own property will still be admitted, but the decree to resettle the houses has been issued, and the cost of building the houses will be replaced by the end of the land.
I can't rely on it if I want to.
The loss of so many people and merchants in Gangneung City is not a good thing for Gangneung officials, and they have no choice but to arrest all the people.
There is no way to solve this kind of thing as an emperor as an emperor, after all, you can't close Gangneung City now, that will add to the panic.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Youzhou, 50,000 vanguard soldiers have set out to stop the Turks."
The old man hurriedly came over and whispered in the ear of Emperor Yang of Sui.
"In addition, the 50,000 soldiers and horses mobilized from Chang'an and Luoyang are already on the way, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of General Penglai to Hu'er are already on the way......"
Emperor Yang of Sui was in a much better mood when he heard that so many reinforcements were coming, but he was depressed again when he thought about the bravery of the Turks, and he made up his mind that when he returned to Chang'an, he must raise a million soldiers and horses to wipe out the Turks.
His ambition can only be thought about in his heart, and now that the danger has not been lifted, he thinks about the future, which seems to be considered to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
The speed of the Turkic soldiers and horses was really fast, and just when Emperor Yang of Sui felt that the situation was very optimistic, Shibi Khan's 100,000 soldiers and horses had already reached Jiangling.
The city wall of Jiangling was closed, and Emperor Yang of Sui's cavalry guards took over the defense of Jiangling under the leadership of Yuwen Chengdu, with less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
Emperor Yang of Sui was really anxious, and he was secretly scolding Tang Guogong in his heart for being too shameless, and he said that he had sent troops so far, and there was not even a shadow of it, and the soldiers and horses in Youzhou were forgotten after all, their distance was relatively far away.
Li Jiancheng added 20,000 soldiers and horses from 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he didn't find a suitable way to delay, so it was really not so easy to follow all the way to face 100,000 soldiers and horses.
The soldiers and horses of the Li family were far away behind the Turks and were not discovered, and now that Jiangling was besieged, Liancheng was not in a hurry, because the Turkic soldiers and horses stopped, providing conditions for them to carry out night attacks.
However, having the conditions for a night attack does not mean that he will do this, after all, the Li family's soldiers and horses cannot afford to lose, and they are all cultivated by the Li family with materials and money, and they can't fight hard.
The news of the red peony could not be delivered, but when Zhang Jin and others brought people over, they had already learned that Jiangling was besieged, and there was no good way at this time but to persevere.
As long as Gangneung City is not broken, it will be a matter of time before it waits for support to defuse the crisis.
But whether Gangneung City can withstand the siege of 100,000 soldiers and horses, no one really knows.
The vanguard arrived a few days later and settled thirty miles outside the city of Gangneung, thirty kilometers away from the Turkic camp.
After arriving, they sent scouts to understand the situation, the Turks had tried to attack the city before, but later failed, the Turks were not so stupid, they were not good at engineering, so they could only besiege and then sweep the surrounding area to replenish the supplies they needed.
The consumption of 100,000 soldiers and horses is enormous.
The time for replenishment will be relatively increased, and the defenders of the state capitals are defending with all their might, but in the face of such a strong Turkic cavalry, several places have been lost, and the Turks have been supplied with rice and grain shops in the city.
Zhang Jin and the others shook their heads after learning the news, they thought that the Turks still did not have a long memory, and this way of grabbing wherever they went really could not last.
Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi have followed the vanguard all the way to the present, although they are very low-key but have no difference in professional ability, they have been in contact with the Turks for a long time, and they know what kind of method is the most effective, so the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Night Attack!" The two said in unison.
