No matter what Yang Guang, the emperor, has turned a huge empire into, I have to admit that he is much more clever than many so-called heroes and heroes in the late Sui Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are countless strategists and generals who emerged during the Great Cause years...... Even if a few of them are treacherous, they all have their own talents.

Like Yu Wenshu, Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others, you say that they have no talent and no virtue, then you really wronged them, these guys have their own achievements in the great cause years, and they can't be summarized by a simple sentence of traitorous ministers.

And the official to the eagle strikes the general, and Yao Junsu, who is the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, is actually among these old ministers of the Sui family.

This person, the ability to lead soldiers is just that, he can't do much, but his talent is manifested in another aspect.

In addition to his loyalty to the loyal ministers and martyrs in the past, in the chaos of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, his ability to win people's hearts was highlighted vividly.

Almost two years have passed since Li Yuan raised his troops to the south.

Except for Li Po in the north, Jin Di rose in the border area in a rampage, and the only one left in Jin Di who did not bow to Li Yuan was this Eagle Strike General.

This person has his back to the Yellow River, and he strikes the general with an eagle, and he sticks to the lonely city of Hedong with his back, and has never surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that in order to recruit this person, Qu Tutong once came here to persuade Yu Yao Junsu to surrender, but was angrily reprimanded by his people as a traitor and retreated in shame.

Yao Junsu's wife came to the city with his children and called his name, but he was killed by an arrow.

In fact, such a person is simply the favorite of Confucian historians, but unfortunately, the collapse of the Great Sui was too complete, and it didn't show anything about Yao Junsu, even if someone ruled the world later, he wouldn't write a big picture of them.

And trapped in the lonely city for two years, in addition to the gradual extinction of food in Hedong City, people are hungry, there has been no civil strife, and it has to be said that Yao Jun's ability is really very comparable.

Of course, this lies in the fact that after Li Yuan led his army to attack Chang'an, he never launched a fierce attack on the isolated city of Hedong.

Is it the reason, firstly, in a remote corner of Hedong City, Yu Li Tang has little impact on Hedong's rule, and secondly, some people persuade Li Yuan that Yaojun's talent is limited, and he can't set off much wind and waves under the general trend, and secondly, there is the blood of loyal ministers, and it is unknown.

In fact, it was the last one that made Li Yuan agree.

You must know that after he captured Chang'an, except for the Yin Shishi and others who dug up the ancestral tomb of the Li family, the cadres led by Wei Xuan were all treated favorably by Li Yuan and did not carry out large-scale killings.

Regardless of whether Li Yuan is true or false, in fact, this is also a manifestation of his strength, I can tolerate these former enemies, and even show appropriate appreciation for their talents and deeds.

Having a figure of this school, combined with what is trying to plot, will complement each other, and having that convincing power contained in it will also have unparalleled benefits for calming people's hearts.

And Yao Junsu was also stained with light, and survived alone in the hinterland of southern Jin, where Li Tang's banners were all over the place.

If it weren't for Wang Shichong's victory over the great enemy Li Mi, he hurriedly ascended the emperor's throne, maybe this person would have taken advantage of the changes in Jindi to ask for help from Luoyang.

And Li Tang's army didn't scare Yao Junsu, and Li Po's Sun, Moon and Star Banner also failed to fool him.

The counties of Hedong County looked at the wind and descended, and when they reached the city of Hedong County, they were finally blocked.

Report to Li Po here, it is Wei Chigong's request to send troops to capture the county seat of Hedong for help, Wei Chigong and others don't care about any loyal ministers or disloyal ministers, they just want to take the whole territory of Hedong as soon as possible, so as to go all out to defend the Longmen ferry.

Li Po's troops focused on Shangdang and Changping counties in the east, and the soldiers and horses led by Wei Chigong were not enough to capture a city like Hedong County.

In fact, this month's march is almost a large-scale military parade, and the army will return to Jiangxian County in early August to spend the winter.

Li Po had no intention of dividing troops to guard the key points everywhere, for only one reason, the troops were insufficient.

Judging from the results of the next few military discussions, what Wei Chigong and others said was similar to what Li Po thought, and it is likely that he will need to fight a few battles in the future before he can gain a firm foothold in Jinnan.

The people of Jinnan chose to surrender because of the troops, which is very unreliable, which naturally includes the Pei clan of Hedong, who has contributed a lot, to the Tang Dynasty in the last day, and to me today, their loyal ministers are difficult to trust.

Speaking of these, Li Po was a little envious of Dou Jiande in Hebei.

Hebei and Shandong, don't look at the same as the hell of Senluo, but according to the reasoning of later generations, it is to seriously destroy the feudal rule of the Sui Dynasty.

In other words, it completely destroyed the ruling system set up by the Sui Dynasty in Hebei and Shandong, and now it seems that the only benefit may be that wherever the army goes, it is its own territory, and there is no need to worry about which city is still guarding a character like Yao Junsu.

Li Po's reply to Wei Chigong and others was very simple, don't worry about him, just take the Longmen beachhead, as for the Fengling Ferry and other Yellow River crossings in the south, Li Po didn't care.

If Li Jiancheng and the Tongguan garrison dared to come north to fight him, Wang Shichong would not be polite to Li Tang, guarding the Dragon Gate because he was not sure what the outcome of the battle between Li Shimin and Xue Rengao in the northwest would be.

Xue Rengao won...... Well, that's unlikely.

And once Li Shimin wins and waves his troops to the east, Li Po is ninety percent sure that Li Shimin will definitely choose to enter Hedong at Longmen......

This kind of strategic speculation, Li Po can now come easily, in addition to years of war tempering, but also because of the more and more information he has obtained.

If he were Li Yuan, he would not let a victorious army, Shi Shiran passed by in Chang'an, and he would definitely send them farther, even if it was his son leading the troops, well, maybe because it was his son who led the troops, he needed to be more fearful.

And the position of Longmen is so important, because there is a big warehouse to rely on......

Therefore, this month's war is a continuation of the previous war, and the right to demonstrate is the main thing, and the capture of the key passes of Jinnan Jiancheng is secondary.

Seeing the frequent good news, Li Po, who had the help of a local snake like Pei Shiqing, accepted the demotion of officials and generals in an orderly manner, and did not let Jinyang send people to serve everywhere, nor did he leave defenders everywhere.

Pretty much speaking, except for the change of flags everywhere, it is business as usual.

If there is no chief officer, let the subordinate officials fill the post immediately, crying poor, you wait, I will send someone to check, if it is true, I will come and get some grain and grass back, if it is not true, okay, I will not send it to you now, let's keep an account book first, and then play with you when I have kung fu.

It can be said that he didn't make a wish for an official like Li Yuan, but the connivance he showed was the same as Li Yuan's, but what Li Yuan saw was Xijing Chang'an, while Li Po was trapped in his own defects.

The difference between passive and active shows the gap between Li Po and Li Yuan, two years have passed, and this gap is narrowing, but if you want to make up for it completely, you still need more effort to do it.

In fact, one of Li Po's most important decrees was issued in mid-July, that is, to send down the officials of all counties, not to be slack off at the time of the autumn harvest, and not to let a grain fall in the fields.

If anyone takes the opportunity to embezzle it for military purposes, he will be severely punished.

Along with this decree, there are also the superintendents and agricultural officials under Li Po's faction, all of whom are soldiers who inspect the autumn harvest of various counties, and this time, Shangdang and Changping counties are still the focus.

Because these two counties, both in terms of land and population, are second to none in Jinnan, and these two counties have the most bandits.

In those years, the Hebei Righteous Army marched westward, and there was no less tossing in these two counties, and the population of the two counties was greatly reduced, and this year there were more bandits.

The guards of the two places did not suppress the bandits, but only stared at the big battle in the north, and they all had their own ideas, plus there were a lot of people and soldiers who were dispatched......

Therefore, this year's autumn harvest, the situation of the autumn harvest in these two counties is not very optimistic.

As a result, Li Poyan ordered all localities to pay attention to the autumn harvest, and they also had to send troops to help these guys eliminate the bandits, and the officials and generals of the two counties ate the grain sent from Jiang County one after another, and some people helped them eliminate the troubles that caused them a lot of headaches, and they had no worries about their lives, and even some of them were even promoted.

Under the joy of each other, they all expressed their "gratitude" to this benevolent and somewhat stupid new master.

But what they didn't know was that Li Po's cold gaze had been hovering over the two counties for a long time, and the more embarrassed Li Po himself was, the deeper his hatred for the officials and generals of the two counties became.

By the time of the autumn harvest, the two counties were in chaos, and all kinds of strange things emerged one after another, in fact, a large-scale purge was already destined to happen, just sooner or later.

In contrast, the rest of the place is much calmer.

Wencheng and other counties in the northwest of Jiangxian County are deeply influenced by the Pei clan in Hedong and the Wang clan of Jinyang, and the state is a strip of water, and Jiangxian County is close at hand, and there is a large army on the side, although there are more bandits in Luliang Mountain, but the performance of the autumn harvest is quite effective.

After the autumn harvest, the chief officials of several counties came to Jiangxian County one after another to meet Li Po, and the intention of losing sincerity was obvious.

At this time, Li Po felt that the previous estimate was a little biased, and the sequelae of the rapid expansion did not seem to be so obvious.

There are all kinds of people in Jindi, just need to distinguish them, and they are unreliable when they are critical, but it doesn't hurt to use them on weekdays......

By the end of July, Li Po breathed a sigh of relief, and the autumn harvest was reported one after another, and by the beginning of August, Li Po was almost certain that even if there was a false report, the worst result did not happen.

A certain amount of grain has been harvested everywhere, and Li Tang's governance of the land in the past two years has actually been quite effective, even if a big war affects the autumn harvest this year, in addition to the soaring food prices, it will not make the people hungry.

At this time, Tang Envoy and his entourage finally came belatedly......
