Li Luo knows that the most important thing in the northwest is Guanzhong, and the most important thing in Guanzhong is Chang'an. As long as he marches directly into Chang'an, he can force the Yuan army to fight a decisive battle, complete his work in one battle, and quickly reach the victory in Guanzhong.

On September 16, the Tang army passed through Monk Yuan and Chencang, and went east along Weishui, passing through Wugong, Yixian, and Waste Hill. On September 24, the Tang army arrived at the hometown of Shanglin Yuan of the Han Dynasty and entered Juxian County, west of Fengyuan (Chang'an), only a few dozen miles away from Fengyuan City (Chang'an).

The Tang army was stationed in Mipi in the west of the Lihe River, relying on Weishui in the north, and backing to Shanglin Yuan, which was invulnerable.

Along the way, the people of Guanzhong rejoiced, and everywhere they went, they were spontaneously eating pot pulp, carrying simple and shabby diets, speaking a strong Guanzhong native accent, and welcoming the Tang Army with tears in their eyes. Even the powerful gentry and the village social security chief A are difficult to prohibit them.

Many fathers and elders cried when they saw the Tang character banner.

Hundreds of years, I don't want to see the Tang Dynasty again today!

There are down-and-out scholars who immediately shed tears and wrote poems. One of them is a poem:

The nine kings of the Jiuqu Pond died, and hundreds of officials died in the White Horse Station.

Since then, the Tang Palace has been desolate, and the emperor has not been seen to come out of Xiqi.

It is difficult to repay the hatred of the two Song Dynasty in the tenth generation, and the ghosts of Liaoxia Jin Yuan are sad.

I didn't want to shed tears on the dusty day, and I was shocked to hear that Wang Shi had arrived.

The title of the poem is "A Song of Fu Tang Guiguan", and the title is Wei Su of Yixian County.

Seeing that Wei Su was outstanding, he presented this poem to the Tang Lord's Imperial Review, Li Luo read it, but felt that the handwriting was strong and the poetry was elegant, and he couldn't help but feel good, and asked left and right: "Who is this?" ”

Si Lu Lang, who submitted the poem, said: "Your Majesty, Weichen once interrogated his origin, Wei Su claimed to be from a poor family in Yi County, and his ancestor was the former prefect of Shangzhou in the Song Dynasty, a descendant of Jingzhao Wei. It is said that it is quite famous in Yixian County. ”

Li Luo said: "Pass him to see me." ”

In a short time, Wei Su followed the guards into the Tang army camp and came to the heavily guarded Tang lord's imperial tent. Wei Su wrote poems because he was moved, but he never imagined that he would be summoned by the Tang Emperor immediately, and he was both uneasy and excited.

He is a poor man, and his family has long declined. Although he was rich in five cars and famous for hundreds of miles, he vowed not to go out of Shi Yuanting, and only collected books at home and cultivated and read.

Wei Su entered the imperial tent, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he saw a handsome man with dragon pattern purple armor and a graceful bearing sitting in the middle, knowing that it must be the Tang Lord. He didn't dare to take a closer look, so he hurriedly pushed the bow of the jade pillar of Jinshan, and said without humility or arrogance: "Wei Su, Caomin Yixian, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" His Majesty recovered the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and personally led the royal division to arrive in Guanzhong to drive out the Tartars, which is really a blessing in Guanzhong. ”

Although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, his slightly trembling body revealed the tension in his heart.

Li Luo saw that Wei Su was about thirty years old, although he was quite weathered, but he was a talented person and had a clear bearing, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.

Let's not talk about this person's talents, just this appearance, it can be regarded as a beautiful man.

"Get up and speak." Li Luowen said, "Mr. is also a showman, a famous man, take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Hearing Li Luozhong's calm voice, Wei Su's nervousness eased slightly, he stood up unhurriedly, and bowed respectfully, "Wei Su, a person of all kinds, deserves the reputation of His Majesty's virtue, and is very ashamed." ”

Qualitative Qi people?

When Li Luo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this Wei Su was a little interesting.

Lord Tang gently stroked the beard on his lips that had grown up slightly with his fingers, looked at Su Wei with bright and deep eyes, and said with a faint smile: "You are obviously a scholar, but you say that you are a scholar, why is this?" Aren't you worried that I will despise you because of this? ”

Wei Su bowed and his voice was clear, "Your Majesty, the grass people read in order to see clearly, to see clearly, and to know themselves." If you have self-knowledge, you cannot deceive yourself, let alone deceive your majesty? ”

The man smiled wryly, "The more grass people read, the more they deviate from the teachings of the sage, but the truth said in the book is ultimately attributed to the way of food, clothing, and people's livelihood." ”

"The grass people are diligently engaged in food, clothing, and goods, doing everything they can to support their families, and they are so vulgar and unbearable, it is not the work of a gentleman of the clear stream, but the quality of the people."

Lord Tang laughed, pointed at Wei Sugu left and right, and said, "What a qualitative Qi person!" Although he is not a gentleman, he is a sincere gentleman! Wei Jun can be described as clear-sighted. ”

Laughing left and right.

Of course, a clear gentleman is indispensable, but what Li Luo wants to use is a practical talent. Wei Su does not have the pedantry of ordinary scholars, and he can talk about food and clothing management without hesitation, which is actually contrary to the universal thought of Confucianism.

Such people are often more reliable. Once you become an official, it will be easier to become an operator.

Li Luo asked again: "It is said that Wei Jun is a descendant of Jingzhao Wei, and the unknown general Wei Gao is the ancestor?" ”

Wei Su's expression was solemn, "Back to Your Majesty, it is the ancestor of the grass people." ”

Li Luo nodded, "Does that know the soldiers?" ”

He didn't ask Wei Su if he knew about fighting, but asked Wei Su if he had read the war book strategy.

Wei Su replied: "I have a little dabbling in the classics of the soldiers, and I occasionally have experience, so I don't dare to know the soldiers. ”

This is, of course, a modest statement, but in fact it is an acknowledgment of "knowing soldiers".

Although the gate valve has long declined, the family education ideas of the children of the gate valve are still endless. The tradition of the children of the gate valve is to "know the soldiers".

Even if the children of the gate lord have been in decline for hundreds of years, the vast majority of descendants no longer read military books, and the probability of reading military books is still much higher than that of ordinary scholars.

There is a very strange phenomenon in ancient China. Due to the different levels of education, scholars tend to be more strategic than pure military generals. However, because most of the generals lack knowledge and have a limited pattern, they often only know how to use tactics and practice training, but their strategic vision is a shortcoming.

This is an important reason why the literati despise military generals.

Of course, this is not a good thing, and it is also what Li Luo is committed to solving. The generals of the Tang Army must not only be proficient in tactics, but also familiar with strategic analysis.

Li Luo has the heart to take a test and try how talented this pipe master is.

——————

"Now, I led the army into Guanzhong, but Chang'an has not been restored, and the main force of the Yuan army still exists. In your opinion, what should this battle be? ”

Wei Su thought for a while and replied very carefully: "Since Your Majesty has taken the test, the grass people will dare to get an axe." Now, His Majesty has brought Hanzhong to the great victory to enter the Guanzhong, looking at Chang'an, Weijia Sanqin, and millions of Han people are like a long drought and a rain, and they are all crying with joy. ”

"However, Brother Chiya of Yuan Tingpingzhang still has elite soldiers and strong generals, and there are tens of thousands of iron cavalry in Guanzhong. The Hedong Yuan army may cross the Yellow River south at any time and enter Guanzhong. ”

"Yes, every day of delay, the battle situation will not be conducive to Datang. Datang should fight quickly, and cut off the hope of reinforcements from the Yuan army. The Yuan army should delay the battle and wait for the Yuan army in Hedong to rush to the aid and converge. ”

Li Luo was somewhat satisfied. That's right, this Wei Su is to the point, and this is also the consensus of the generals of the Tang Army.

The Tang army should fight quickly, and the Yuan army should fight late.

Wei Su continued: "Your Majesty's camp, with the Weishui River in the north, Shanglin Yuan in the west, and Mipi Lake in the east. Within dozens of miles, it is surrounded by eight rivers. This terrain is favorable to the Tang Dynasty and not to the cavalry of the Yuan army. ”

"But because of this, the Yuan army did not dare to fight a decisive battle and waited for reinforcements from Hedong Yuan Army or Henan."

"Yes, in order to promote the Yuan army to fight quickly, the grass people dared to guess that His Majesty would definitely leave this place, go north across Weishui, and go to Xianyang, where a horse is flat and flat, which is very conducive to the cavalry, so that the Yuan army will have a decisive battle."

Li Luo nodded and smiled: "Wei Jun really knows the soldiers. Yes, I have already decided to cross Weishui to the north and drive directly to Xianyang, where there is a large pasture of the Yuan court and tens of thousands of horses, and it is impossible for the Yuan army to give up. ”

There's no way around it. Because Li Luo had already received information, the cavalry of the Yuan army did not guard Fengyuan (Chang'an). Because the eight rivers surround Chang'an, it is really not conducive to the cavalry, so the Yuan army simply let the infantry defend the city, and the cavalry swims within a hundred miles.

Even if the Tang army attacked Chang'an, the cavalry of the Yuan army would never stupidly run to Chang'an, which was surrounded by eight rivers, for a decisive battle.

It can be said that if the Tang army does not leave this river-dense area for a day, the Yuan army will not take the initiative to attack.

And the main force of the Yuan army was cavalry, which moved quickly. The initiative of whether to fight a decisive battle or not is in their hands. If they did not fight a decisive battle, the Tang army would not be able to destroy them at all.

This is the sorrow of the infantry.

Of course, Li Luo also brought 30,000 cavalry. But these 30,000 cavalry are all horse-fighting type cavalry, and their riding and archery skills are not as good as those of the Mongolian cavalry. Even if Li Luo released 30,000 cavalry, he would not be able to force the Yuan army to fight a decisive battle.

The only way is to abandon the favorable terrain and deliberately go to the terrain that is favorable to the Yuan army, so that the Yuan army can take the initiative to attack.

As a scholar who has never been an official or a war, Wei Su can think of this, which is already commendable and a usable talent.

"Wei Jun is interested in becoming a member of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Luo stroked the slightly curled beard on his lips and smiled. Ever since he had this pretty mustache, he had this habitual move.

The reason, only Queen Cui Xiuning knows. Cui Xiuning said that he learned the movements with Li Shimin played by Ma Yue in "The Rule of Zhenguan".

Wei Su was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately knelt down without hesitation, "The grass people are willing to go out to Datang, work hard, and serve Datang!" ”

"Okay." Li Luo stood up, "Wei Qing is flat." He paced a few steps behind his back, "I will temporarily appoint you to serve as the Imperial Minister, and eat seven pins." ”

The Imperial Servant is indefinite, and it is a civilian position corresponding to the military rank of the third-class guard in front of the Emperor, and it is actually a member of the emperor's secretary team. Li Luo's pre-imperial secretary team is divided into the pre-imperial counselor walking, the pre-imperial recording walking, and the pre-imperial service walking.

It's different from another secretarial team. The Records Department belongs to the court secretary team and the emperor's personal secretary team, in addition to serving the emperor, but also serving the imperial court's ministries.

The three walks in front of the emperor are completely the emperor's personal secretary team. Although the three walks in front of the emperor are also official officials of the imperial court, they don't care about the affairs of the imperial court and only serve the emperor alone.

With Wei Su's talent and insight, even the imperial counselor of the five grades also did it. But he has just arrived, and it is not appropriate to be promoted to the imperial counselor all at once, and the imperial service is already considered lucky.

Wei Su didn't know about the Tang court official system. But as the name suggests, he also knows the weight of royal service.

A moment ago, he was a Hanshi, but now he is a seventh-rank official hat smashed down, if Wei Su is unhappy, how can it be?

With Yulu, the poor wives and daughters in the family will no longer have to suffer, and they will no longer have to be bullied by the village chief. He is a dignified husband, and he can finally be an official and show his ambitions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Chen Weisu, meet my emperor! Your Majesty is not despicable and ignorant, and when Jian Bachen has not made an inch, it is not enough to repay the favor of the king..."Wei Su said gratefully.

He was really grateful to Li Luo.

The king treats him as a countryman, and the minister repays him as a countryman!

…………

Li Luo's military affairs were urgent and he had no intention of staying, and the Tang army just hurriedly passed by, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. Even the Yuan court officials in the prefectures and counties along the way, the Tang army had no time to deal with it.

For today's plan, the only way to cross Weishui to the north, march to Xianyang, collect the Wulingyuan Ranch, and force the main force of the Yuan army in Guanzhong to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible.

However, Li Luo issued an edict to the people of Guanzhong, saying that the Tang Dynasty hanged the people to cut down the crime, drove out the Tartars, and restored the Central Plains, which will surely relieve the suffering of overhang, save the danger of eggs, and reassure the people.

And where the Tang army passed, the rebels who rose up came to vote one after another, the small ones were hundreds of ten, and the big ones were thousands, all of them saw the Tang Banner coming back when they heard the wind.

Li Luo ordered the allocation of weapons and armor for the Yuan army's prisoners, armed the rebels from all walks of life, and rewarded them with money and food to win the hearts of the rebels.

In less than ten days, when they arrived at the north crossing Weishui, there were more than 20,000 rebels who came from all over the place.

On September 25, more than 90,000 Tang troops (Jiayi Army) pulled out their camp, crossed the Weishui, and drove towards Xianyang, pointing directly to the Wulingyuan Ranch in the east of Xianyang.

At the same time, Li Luo sent a message to Wu Yan of Wuguan Dao, asking him to divide 20,000 troops to defend Tongguan after capturing Lantian Pass, and surround Chang'an with the remaining soldiers and horses.

…………

Brother Chiya, Pingzhang Hachiya, Shaanxi, who learned the news, immediately couldn't sit still.

Originally, he planned to delay for a while, wait until reinforcements from Hedong or Henan arrived, and then fight Li Luo.

However, Li Luo did not come to attack Fengyuan, but crossed the Weishui and went to the Wulingyuan Ranch in the east of Xianyang, so it must be stopped!

Wuling was originally a large plain, where many Han emperors and concubines were buried. Therefore, in order to suppress the luck of the Han people, as early as the time of the Great Khan of Wokutai, the original circle of Wuling within a radius of more than 100 miles was used as a pasture, and more than 40,000 war horses were raised all year round. It is the largest of several official horse farms in Guanzhong.

With so many war horses, they must not fall into the hands of the rebels!

Besides, that place is not like Fengyuan (Chang'an) with dense rivers, but a grassland that is conducive to the great Yuan iron cavalry, with a radius of hundreds of miles, which is a good battlefield.

Therefore, Hachiya and other Mongol generals always believed that a decisive battle was necessary.

You can't wait for reinforcements to come, and you don't need to wait for reinforcements to come.

At present, all the 70,000 iron horsemen in Guanzhong have gathered to deal with Li Luo, and they don't even care about Lantian Pass and the people in various places.

70,000 iron horsemen, decisive battle on a large grassland favorable to cavalry, the Mongol warriors were not afraid of any enemy.

Including Li Luo!

"Order, the army is open, one horse and two horses, 60,000 cavalry are divided into two wings, outflanking and pursuing the rebels!"

"There are also 10,000 cavalry, divided into ten thousand teams, taking turns to harass the rebels!"

"This hall wants to see what else Li Luo can do to deal with the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry! This time, let this proud, treacherous, and despicable traitor taste what defeat and fear are, and let him weep like a desperate child! ”

Hachiya ordered.

"Wow!" The generals shouted their orders, and everyone's faces were red with excitement, and their blood was boiling.

As long as the Dayuan Iron Cavalry rides on a war horse, as long as it is not in the land of mountains and water networks, it is an invincible existence in the world, an eagle favored by the immortal heavens, and an invincible myth.

No one can compete with the Mongol iron cavalry in the plains.

It's Li Luo... Not at all!

"Boom—"

70,000 iron horsemen, 140,000 war horses, galloping on the Guanzhong Plain, like a torrent of mountains and seas, swept in a lifetime, stirred up dust, like clouds hanging from the sky, flying all over the sky.

The whole earth trembled under the horse's hooves. The neighing of the war horse tore through the sky.

The people not far away were stunned when they looked at the monstrous momentum.

The Tartar Iron Rider is so powerful, Wang Shi... Can you win?

Many people suddenly became nervous.
