"If you don't have enough food, what is the use of it?"

This is Li Po's explanation to the generals.

Some of the leading captains of the Heng'an Town Army are doing nothing, and some are more excited, the Heng'an Town Army has played with confidence in recent years, and they have also inherited the tradition of the Sui Army very well, the more powerful the opponent, the more they can arouse their desire to fight.

The people who came from Lou were a little frightened, and they went to Hebei to fight against the Youzhou army, and they all felt that the chances of victory were slim.

The people from Yanmen were led by Wang Zhibi, the lieutenant of Yanmen County, and these people were relieved when they heard that they were going to send troops to Hebei, instead of going north to the grassland to compete with the Turks.

In fact, along with the civil war in the Central Plains, there are many more people in the world who are keen on the civil war, which is not for other reasons, but because the foreign enemy is too strong, and they all feel that it is difficult to compete with it on their own.

Therefore, there is a saying that the outside must first be safe.

Does that make sense? Indeed, there is, but while fighting, in fact, a situation and psychology that is used for internal strife and cowardice against external enemies has been formed.

After repeating this several times, the people of the Central Plains Empire also had the inherent impression that foreign enemies were powerful, and the bravery of their ancestors went with the wind.

Of course, no matter what, Wang Zhibi and others don't have much right to speak, and what they are thinking becomes less important.

The cavalry of Lou Annoyance Yanmen added up to more than 3,000, and compared with the increasingly large Heng'an Town Army today, even they felt blushing when they were so light that they were light.

They also didn't expect that the Heng'an Zhenjun army in Yunnei had swelled to such a point after the Turks went south twice.

Those rumors about the Heng'an Town Army in the north are finally in front of the barracks. It became clear.

The military conference lasted three days.

For several years, the military decision-making process of the Hengan Town Army. It has also become a lot more formal.

It's no longer Li Po who patted his head and said what was what. If you have an idea, you have to discuss it with everyone.

There is no way, the army is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Po himself cannot take care of all aspects by himself, which is the only way for any army to expand.

The inevitable result of a person's equity to an army is defeat, and there will be no second outcome.

At this time, the military group of the Northern Jin Border Army with Li Po as the core also showed a rudimentary form.

This is the same as the famous Kansai before. There are obvious differences in the rise of the aristocratic military groups in Shandong and Hebei, but there are also similarities in the process.

When their military power swells to a certain extent, a series of military gates will inevitably be generated, and then political families will be born, and their families will inevitably be inextricably linked.

Of course, these must be based on the preconditions of continuous military victories, and they have also withstood the test of time.

Late April. The weather is dry and dry, and the sun is in the sky.

The 15,000 cavalry army in Yunnei was reorganized and assembled.

Ma Yi guarded the mansion, and Li Bi carefully put on her husband's clothes and armor. Tie the silk, just like every time before, and there is a lot of reluctance in my heart. But he never added to his husband's heart when he went on the expedition.

Li Po turned around. hugged his wife and advised, "You guard Yunnei City well." If the Turks come, they must not send troops to help the county, before winter, I will definitely return to the army, by the way, add more people around me, don't let the fine work have a chance. ”

Li Bi raised her eyebrows, wrinkled her nose, squinted her eyes, and patted her husband's shoulder, "Cherish all the way here, the concubine is not going anywhere here, just waiting for her husband to return triumphantly, and ...... when the time comes."

When his eyes were circulating, he saw the red eyes probing his brain at the door, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, the husband will accept her." ”

Li Po looked back, laughed, and had no overseas Chinese affection, and came to a very classic sentence, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" ”

In the midst of laughter, Li Bi thumped his breastplate......

In April of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Po led the army from Yunnei, crossed Lingqiu, went straight to the Flying Fox Road, and marched to Hebei.

At this time, there was a man in Yunnei City who was lying in the arms of a prostitute and weeping because his brother Wang Ji had received a mourning message that their cousin Wang Tong had died.

Wang Tong and their brothers are about the same age, less than forty, but their achievements are beyond the reach of the two brothers, so it can also be said that they died young.

Wang Tong is a literary master among the people of Hedong, he has never been a scholar in his life, he writes books and speaks behind closed doors, and he is promised to be a master craftsman, and there are many protégés.

Because he is a descendant of the Wang family and has a small literary name, the Jinyang Wang family also set up his clothes mound in the ancestral land, and privately called him "the son of the text".

Wang Jing, who was far away in the clouds, had no way to go to the funeral, but the two brothers were friendly to Wang Tong when they were young, so they were naturally extremely sad.

Wang Jing, who was drunk with beauty and didn't want to hear about the world, finally moved his mind at this time, seeing the chaos in the world, although there was a battle in Yunnei, there were so many elite soldiers and good generals stationed there, but it was as stable as Mount Tai like a paradise.

He then thought about bringing his brother and his cousin's sons and nephews to Mayi......

It is worth mentioning that the great painter Zhan Ziqian also died in this year, and these two can actually be said to be the same characters as the emperor's relics.

They have profound attainments in literature and art, but unfortunately, when they died, it was the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and their names were drowned in the billowing smoke of gunpowder, and few people in later generations could know their names.

Wang Tong lived a very fast life in Yunnei, but if he really wanted him to do something by himself, it was difficult for him.

So he could only ask for someone, what he asked for was Liu Jing, who had been a horse thief, Liu Jing was in charge of the warehouse in Yunnei, and he didn't have much talent like Wang Jing, but he had a lot of ghost ideas.

After hearing this, I felt that this seemed to be a good thing, and the literati in Yunnei were not too few now, and the Lord was magnificent, and he was also quite polite to the literati.

Thinking like this, he went to report to Li Bi that he knew.

Li Bi did not hesitate, and directly sent 200 people to accompany Wang Jing to the south, as for whether he could pull out the well-known Wang Ji from the whirlpool of war in Hedong, it was actually a matter of doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

At the same time, Li Yuan's southward army finally made a contribution, and the horse thief Liu Hongji beheaded Song Laosheng and opened the gateway to the southeast of the river.

At this time, Li Yuan showed his decisiveness, divided the army into three routes, sent his eldest son Li Jiancheng to lead Liu Wenjing and others, according to Qu Tutong, ordered the second son Li Shimin to lead his troops through Gaoling, and attack Chang'an in a roundabout way, and he himself led his troops to take Chaoyi directly, intending to use the shortest time to go to Chang'an City.

At this time, Li Yuan's third daughter, Li Xiuning, who had been cut off from news for a long time, gave Li Yuan a surprise.

Li Xiuning, who went to Hubei County, did not hide and wait for his father's and brother's army to come, but under Li Jing's suggestion, he scattered his family wealth, recruited people, and gathered troops in Juxian County.

Then, in the name of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, he appeased the rebels from all walks of life, with Li Jing by his side to give advice, and there were five hundred elites of the Heng'an Town Army.

The small scale of the rebel army from all walks of life has surrendered one after another under the pull of this strange army.

By April, the army had swelled to tens of thousands, and he had taken two granaries in Chang'an County.

Moreover, with the growing momentum and the successive defeats of the defenders of Chang'an, even the nobles in Chang'an City have run out one after another to join Li Xiuning, and the title of the Women's Army has risen, shocking the hinterland of Kansai.

By the time Li Yuan's father and son arrived, they were besieging the old city of Chang'an, and they had already invaded the outer city of the old city of Cheng'an, and it was just around the corner to take the old city of Chang'an.

At this time, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Xiuning.

In April, the war in Hedong was booming, and Henan was not bad.

Li Mi and Wang Shichong two, around Luoyang several large warehouses, you come and go, large and small battles have been fought innumerable, only the eastern capital near Luoyang, the corpses are all over the field, blood flowed like a river, in April, both sides of the red eyes, and around Luokoucang, ready for a big battle.

The population of Henan was rapidly consumed in the mutual fight between the two heroes of the late Sui Dynasty.

Some people were also in such a campaign, bathed in blood, began to emerge one after another, and changed camps quite frequently, yes, the people who participated in the Henan war, all lacked the most basic loyalty.

At the beginning of Li Po's army, Zhuo County stayed behind, and Xue Shixiong, the general of the right imperial guard, died in Zhuo County.

The general, who led his troops to escape death in Baishi Mountain, was finally defeated by Dou Jiande in the civil war.

Of course, this is also a prerequisite for Luo Yi to possess Youzhou, if it weren't for Xue Shixiong's fiasco, Luo Yi, Zhao Shizhu and others would not dare to wave their troops together.

And Xue Shixiong's death was actually because he lost his military power and died of grief.

Later, Luo Yi mourned for him with great fanfare, taking advantage of the situation to accept the heart of the Xue family, and further consolidated his position as the governor of Youzhou.

Just when he was thinking about continuing to run the counties of Youzhou and winning the hearts of the people, he never thought that Dou Jiande, an old opponent with hundreds of thousands of troops, had not yet exerted his strength, but the heroes of Jindi drilled out of the Flying Fox Road and gathered a terrible cavalry army at the Flying Fox Pass surrounded by mountains.

Outside the mouth of the flying fox, the flag is clear, and the horses are roaring.

The mountains in the north are faint, but the south is suddenly open.

Walking through the oppressive Batu Caves, Li Po breathed in the fresh air, and what is even more rare is that it has just rained here, the mountains and forests are green, and the grass and trees are fragrant.

A Taihang Mountain actually separates the east and west into two completely different worlds.

At this time, it was already May, and the long and narrow Flying Fox Road had made the army spend more than ten days of precious time.

Therefore, Li Po ordered Wang Zhibi to wait for the follow-up 5,000 men and horses at Feihukou, and he immediately led the army to the east, and entered the northern border of Hebei all over the mountains.

(Because I'm going to write another war, Ah Cao has to think about it, so I coded a chapter yesterday, originally, I planned to have a chapter tonight, but the time is enough, and tonight's chapter should be able to be coded, if not, don't be surprised, Ah Cao is trying to conceive.)
