Chapter 620 June
There are similarities between fighting a war and practicing martial arts, and if you use seven points of force, you must always set aside three points of force to seek change and self-preservation.
As Li Po's family business gets bigger and bigger, he will no longer be like Ashina Qiuluo, who will spend all his net worth and life to ask for a battle to determine the situation.
And now, he's going to use the three-pointer hard, and what he wants to do is hit it with precision.
Since it was already expected that Wang Shichong would start his troops to the west this year, he would naturally not be unprepared before, but the strategic purpose had changed, so there were more things to do.
As expected, Wang Shiyun came to resign on the second day, and then led people back to Henan.
Princess Yuanhui Wang Zhen naturally stayed, a little girl was instantly unaccompanied, and she was married, and when she sent her uncle away, she cried into tears, and was severely reprimanded by Wang Shiyun.
When Li Po saw it, he was a little unbearable, so as soon as Wang Shiyun left, he immediately ordered someone to send Wang Zhen to Jinyang, and he was out of sight.
As for how the women in the family would react when they saw Wang Zhen, he didn't have the heart to think about it anymore.
The first is the grain and grass, and the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved.
This was not a trouble, for from the time before he became king, grain and grass from the north had been moving southward one after another, to prepare for the conquests that might take place this year, and second, to the south, and the counties in the south were in need of alms.
This is a matter of two pence, so now the granary of Jiangjun is gradually enriched, even if there are changes, there is no need to worry about things such as grain, grass and ordnance.
The things that I promised to give to Wang Shichong were not troublesome, and in the past two years, I had a fierce battle with Li Tang, and the captured armor, knives and guns were countless, and they were selected and used for use, or transported back to Jinyang, and a large part of them were recast.
But there are still a lot of warehouses left in Pusaka, Jiangjun and other places, if all of them are packaged and processed to Wang Shichong, to be honest, it is a bit much, and it will be a part of it.
Then the next thing is the beginning and end of the Ministry of Household and Industry.
First of all, he sent a letter to Su Yan, the head of the household department, Sima Wangqing, and Xue Wanche of the Han Dynasty, and asked them to discuss and transport a batch of grain, grass and ordnance to Jiangjun as appropriate.
Then there was He Chou, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and asked him to summon craftsmen to come to Pusaka to prepare various utensils for crossing the river, and the doctor also had to prepare some.
Because once a large number of displaced people and soldiers come to Jindi, they must be prepared to deal with the epidemic, this is summer, which is the peak period of the epidemic, especially in the post-war season.
After every war, the corpses must be burned, in order to eliminate the possibility of plague, some ruthless generals, when the siege is hopeless, will often throw the rotting corpses into the city or bury them in the water source of the city, which is obviously the most primitive use of biological and chemical weapons.
According to rumors, Huo Qubing died young, in fact, he died of epidemic, because when the Huns were defeated, they buried the carcasses of cattle and sheep into the river water source, so that the Han soldiers died of epidemics.
What is even more coincidental is that the large-scale epidemic in the Central Plains also started from the Han Dynasty.
What made Li Po a little strange was that in such a chaotic world, he hadn't heard of the news of the spread of the epidemic.
But then again, he doesn't know, it doesn't mean that there isn't, it's just that it hasn't spread and become a large-scale epidemic.
All aspects have to be thought through, Li Po thinks that his brain is quite enough, but he can't do everything, so most of the letters to He Chou and others have to add words and phrases such as deliberation and discretion.
In the end, it was the dispatch of troops, Li Po thought about it again and again, and chose Buqun, Xue Wanche, and Zhang Lun, and then guarded Jinyang with Wei Chi, and Yuwen Wei led 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Jiang County, transporting grain and grass back and forth.
In the days that followed, the horses traveled back and forth on the road, and the clouds of war once again hung over the land of Jin amid the sound of hurried horses' hooves.
Jinyang, which was boiling day by day, suddenly became a lot quieter, and above the military camp outside Jinyang City, the flags were constantly changing, and a team of soldiers gathered here, and then went south one after another.
The various yamens that had just been formed had finally temporarily separated themselves from the whirlpool of personnel appointments and dismissals, and were making all kinds of preparations for the upcoming war.
Speaking of which, their functions are not complete, but in the frequent battles, almost everyone has adapted to this rhythm.
Chaos must be chaotic, after all, the Chinese book, the six departments have just been formed, and it is difficult to grasp the balance when they exercise their respective powers in a hurry.
But having said that, these characters personally selected by Li Po are all remarkable, and none of them are so-called fortunate ministers who climbed up because of Li Po's trust.
Due to the many vacancies, it is not easy to make them make any big achievements, or to do everything in an orderly manner, but it is also nonsense to say that there is a mess up and down, and no one knows what to do.
The entire Jinyang slowly passed May in an orderly manner in the chaos.
At the beginning of June, the rhythm suddenly accelerated, and Li Po's military and political orders came from the south like a stream, and the people up and down of Jinyang suddenly felt the pressure.
As the hostess, Li Bi couldn't sit still, and began to frequently summon foreign ministers in the Han Palace, and she couldn't wait to give birth to the child immediately when she was pregnant, so that she could go to her husband's side to protect her.
The brigade of men and horses began to appear on the road of the Jin Dynasty, and the formation of the Wei Mansion that had not been very complete, at this time finally full operation, followed by Yuen Long, Ashina Qingyun, who had almost lived a stable life, reluctantly rode on a war horse, and followed the Han Wangfu pro-army commander Ashina Jihu to the north to assist Yun Dingxing and others to pacify the Turkic tribes of Mayi.
Another person who couldn't help herself was Yuen Long's wife Ashina Yunzhen, who was teasing the child at home, and received a summons from her sister to enter the Han Palace.
When he came out, he had a slap print on his face, crying and crying to find Yuen Long, the husband and wife muttered all night, and the next morning, Ashina Yunzhen took Hu out of the house to chase Ashina Jihu and others.
The Golden Wolf Banner of the Western Turks also came in handy, and it can be seen that people who have not returned to Mayi for several years are becoming more and more uneasy about the situation there.
In fact, the Turkic captives in the north can now be called the inner tribe after a few years, and they came miserable, completely deprived of pasture and glory, two things that were important to the Turkic tribe.
For them, who were once the members of the Eastern Khan Ashina who were next to the Buddha, the hope of returning to the steppe was extremely slim, and they were the losers of the Turkic infighting, and no one wanted to let them reappear on the steppe and obtain the corresponding status.
So on the whole, as long as the Turks do not move southward in a big way, there is not much to worry about in the Mayi Border Fortress.
Of course, in any case, Jindi entered the busiest time of the year at this time, and the signs of war coming again became more and more obvious, which also filled the people of Jindi with a sense of urgency.
Compared with Jindi, Henan is a different scene.
Beginning in May, Wang Shichong began to recruit troops on a large scale again, and he continued the style of the past, strengthening the Latin strong, imposing heavy taxes, and gradually forming an army, while the rebellion in various parts of Henan also ushered in a new climax.
In June, Henan was already full of bandits, and in such a boiling situation, a continuous series of military camps were built around Luoyang.
What's even more terrifying is that there are more and more military camps, and there are often sounds of fighting, which are the generals in the army fighting for military rations or swallowing each other.
In other words, before the march started, blood had already begun to flow among the Henan army, and the factions on the hills also played a role in fueling the flames.
The strong and vicious Wagang Army is unique among them, and Li Mi's old subordinates, who have different thoughts, have long been divided, but at this time, they have the ambition to gang together to seize the military rations and expand the army on a large scale.
It can be said that at this time, from the emperor's pro-army to the bottom of the army, there were Li Mi's old subordinates everywhere, and it was no longer enough to describe what they did.
They brought countless irresolvable contradictions to the Henan army, but they had no loyalty at all, and when they gathered together to make waves, just as they did under Li Mi back then, they could only bring the army a precursor to destruction.
Wang Shichong was facing an increasing risk of getting out of control, and he transferred too many defenders from all over the country, so that the military camps and granaries in various counties were empty.
Needless to say, there were a large number of fugitives, and Dou Jiande, who was attacking Youzhou, was depressed and found that his territory seemed to have expanded a lot.
Many Shandong counties that were originally under Wang Shichong's control have taken refuge in him, and people who have crossed the Yellow River to Hebei have also been repeated, but he is not prepared, so what brought these people to him is not benefits, but unimaginable chaos.
Dou Jiande had to stop in Zhuo County, turned around and dealt with it carefully, at this time the voice echoing in his ears became louder and louder, Cao Dan and others were persuading him to return to Wei County, and take advantage of Wang Shichong's westward expedition to march into Henan.
Dou Jiande was quite moved, and Luoyang was still very attractive to him.
But Pei Ju and others disagreed, and some people said, "If the lord Chen Bing is on the bank of the river, he wants to set himself on fire?" ”
Someone persuaded again, "Wang Shichong is about to raise troops, the supreme takes advantage of the void to attack it, this is Li Tang's help, Wang Shichong is defeated, he will turn back and fight to the death with me, defeated, then the Tang army will continue, at that time, I am afraid that we want to return to Hebei and cannot get it." ”
Therefore, there are also many voices persuading him to watch the fire from the other side, and the reasons are more solid.
While Dou Jiande was still hesitating, he received a letter from Li Po, "We will meet and fight Li Yuan together, the prince will take the lead, I should help him, in order to promote his prestige, I don't know what Brother Dou wants?" ”
So Dou Jiande's mind of waving the army to the south was gone, Hebei is now his lair, if in order to take advantage, he was put up behind by Li Ding'an, where would he cry?
So he sent Cao Dan to lead the troops south, and in addition to observing the movements in Henan, he also had to properly handle the appeasement matters......
