Chapter 781 General Trend (8)
This night, Li Yuan and Pei Lian, two friends, were so drunk that they couldn't wait to drink to death, and they didn't have to worry about the troubles that would come tomorrow.
Speaking of which, Li Yuan was still relatively lucky, at this time, he could still have a friend to drink with him, and in this regard, he had already defeated almost all kings.
Because kings have no friends, they are the ones who are alone.
Like Li Po, he is more qualified, he has no friends to talk to him, and he has always been able to endure loneliness, and he doesn't need to drink with others to relieve his boredom.
Separated by most of Chang'an, looking at Li Yuan from afar, from the previous thoughts, two days have passed, Li Po has gradually settled down.
Chang'an City did not disappoint him, the city walls are very high and thick, the population in the city is large, and more are talents, which are the most valuable assets today.
Li Po garrisoned the troops under the city, and immediately led his guards around Chang'an City, and then ordered to camp for ten days and rest, and also began to make siege equipment.
He gave the people of the city enough time to "prepare" for them to think through and distinguish between friend and foe, and of course, during this time, more news would come from everywhere.
The scattered ministries will return to the team one after another, except for Feng Yi and strategic places like Huayin, the rest can be put away, and places like Kansai, as long as Xijing is in Xijing, it also symbolizes that most of Kansai is in hand.
In addition, there are Tongguan, as well as the Qutu Tong Department in the northwest, plus Li Shimin, who fled, almost more than 300,000 horses...... In other words, Li Tang's strength still exists, and there are still great variables in this battle.
The pie is very tempting, but which part can be eaten first, not to mention Li Po, even the generals around him have no score.
Li Shimin fled in a hurry, and after two or three days, he went to chase after him, but he didn't know if he would have time.
And if it's too late? Let him and Qu Tutong join forces in one place? Things are a little troublesome, Qu Tutong...... Although this man has not seen it? Can you serve as the secretary of the military department in the former Sui Dynasty? It is said that it is very valued by Yang Guang.
Demoted Li Tang, he is also very trusted by Li Yuan? can lead a soldier with a different surname, this seems to be the first time in Li Tang.
What does this mean? Does it mean that Qu Tutong is loyal? Li Po felt it? This man must be very smart...... Wouldn't it be smarter this time?
What can Li Shimin give him? Got there? will definitely seize Qu Tutong's military power first, if Qu Tutong is really so smart, what will he do to protect himself? This is still worth looking forward to......
Then there is Li Jiancheng of Tongguan.
In Li Po's opinion, compared with the cunning and extremely bold Li Er? Li Jiancheng is like dry bones in a grave? Not much to pay attention to.
Because of Zhang Shigui, he knew the situation of the Tongguan garrison best, and the Tongguan garrison had not fought any hard battles for many years, and it was not until last year that it was tested.
The performance can be described as confused, Wang Shichong almost brought a messy army? In the case of the collapse of the vanguard Shan Xiongxin's department, he almost attacked Tongguan? The combat effectiveness of the Tongguan defenders can be imagined.
Coupled with the battle of Fengling Ferry, it is even more ridiculous.
And Li Jiancheng has a good tooth mouth? After accepting so many demoted people, why don't you send them back to Chang'an for screening and appointment? How dare he put such a group of people in Tongguan? It's really my own death.
Zhai Rang? Li Mi and Wang Shichong are both very good role models, they have been dead for a few years, and Li Jiancheng estimates that he will follow in his footsteps, but he doesn't know whether it is Li Jiancheng, a living person, or a human head that is finally handed over to him.
He is very confident in those guys, as long as he is trapped for a while, once those people feel that something is wrong, Tongguan will inevitably be in chaos, which is much easier to guess than Li Shimin's side.
On this day, Li Po held almost a day's military discussions, in addition to occasionally listening to the news coming back from various places, he was discussing various matters after entering Chang'an.
This kind of military discussion will be held many times, because although everyone has captured the city, they have never captured a place like Chang'an, but they still have some experience to learn when they enter Jinyang.
But it was really different at that time, it was Yuwen Xin's dedication to the city, and there was the Jinyang Wang family behind him, and Li Yuanji almost offended the Jinyang family......
In this way, it can be said that it was effortless to get Jinyang, and later the governance of Jinyang was also very smooth.
There may be countless Yuwenxin here in Chang'an, and there will also be countless Wang families, if you don't prepare in advance, you will have to be in a hurry after entering the city, and if you are not careful, let the army out of control, then it is called a joke.
Therefore, the military discussions discussed slogans and actions such as strict military discipline and no indiscriminate killing, plus which one should take over the city defense, which one should collect the prisoners, which one should be in charge of the various government offices in the city, and who would have to deal with the nobles in the city.
All of this, no matter how big or small, everything that can be thought of must be arranged.
The next thing is to let Yang continue to repair the book and send it back to Jinyang, so that everyone in Jinyang can set off and go south.
In addition to leaving the necessary officials and defenders, Chen Xiaoyi temporarily stayed in Jinyang and served as the governor of the state, and the rest of the people in Jinyang had to move to Chang'an.
The officials in Chang'an must be screened and appointed, and the gate valve clan must be held hostage, and there must be a large number of their own people, and those who descend first will have benefits, and those who will descend later will drink soup, and those who will contribute must have merit, and those who have not contributed will stand behind, etc., etc., this is the established number of roads.
From Jinyang to Chang'an, the distance is not too far, and there are already preparations, but once you come and go, it will take more than ten or twenty days as fast, and it will take more than a month if you are slow, and the time is not very compact.
And when the Jinyang people arrive at the border of Kansai, how many conflicts they will have with the locals, and whether it will cause uncontrollable disasters, no one knows.
Anyway, Li Yuan is a lesson from the past, the people he brought back from Jinyang are all heroes, but many people are not happy in Chang'an, and it is good to say that they are excluded, like Liu Wenjing and the like www.biquwu.biz have lost their heads.
In addition, people from Henan, Hebei, and Shandong, as well as those from the south, who had been baptized by the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, had to bridge their differences and hostility and find some balance between them.
Thinking that he would have to face endless political struggles in the future, Li Po felt a little blocked in his heart.
Of course, it can be seen from these preparations that Li Po has regarded Chang'an as a bag, and his people are also gearing up, even if no one sacrifices the city, they will lead the troops to meet the Kansai people again, hey, it is also a great achievement to conquer Chang'an City.
With the passage of time, the size of the army under the city of Chang'an became larger and larger, and soon exceeded 100,000 people, in addition to the follow-up soldiers and horses who came from the Jin land one after another and the people who escorted the grain and grass, some were captured by the Tang army.
If you want to storm Chang'an, they will be the first to attack the city.
To tell the truth, there is a big gap between the performance of the Tang Army and Li Po's imagination, the generals and soldiers of the Tang Army do not have much firm will to fight from top to bottom, the bitter battle that Li Po thought would happen did not appear, and the main force of the Tang Army led by Li Shimin ran faster than a rabbit.
In the rest of the country, some of the defenders were crushed at the slightest touch, and some fell in the wind......
It's hard to imagine that they created the prosperous era of the emperor, and it was they who swept the world with Li Yuan's father and son...... Or are they too lucky?
It's a joke, of course, that anyone who can create a unified empire won't get this far by luck alone.
Li Po became more and more busy, in addition to preparing to take over Chang'an and some follow-up things, he also began to order people to go everywhere to appease people's hearts, and try his best to make the counties in Kansai not miss the agricultural time.
This is more difficult to do, and in the chaotic season, who still has the heart to farm? Maybe it was for others to be busy, plus more than 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Shimin went all the way west, requisitioning grain and grass everywhere, and the people were strong, which caused great damage to the local area.
In a hurry, like a bandit, Li Yuan's good reputation in Kansai was not much left, and now it has been corrupted, and many people have gritted their teeth when they talk about the Li family in Kansai.
But Li Po will not give up his efforts because of this, no matter how much he tosses in Kansai, it is stronger than Mayi and Yanmen back then, and now you look at it, it is already the granary of Jindi, if it weren't for him Li Po, who would have such ability?
If you don't work hard this year, you won't have anything to eat this year, and everyone will have no food, and no one will be able to stay safe.
The army was fighting, and there were not many people available around him in this regard, so he called those children of the clan who came to vote, and after a brief explanation, he sent a lot of persuasive peasant envoys, and at the same time let them preach that once he Li Po was in charge, the counties of Guanxi would be exempted from money and grain and labor this year.
As a result, the name of the Han king first appeared on the ground of Kansai......
After a few busy days, there was still no movement in Chang'an City, and when Li Po was wondering whether to use some means to put more pressure on the people in the city, one of the news he wanted to hear came back.
………………………………………………
Fufeng County, on a hill at the southern foot of Panlong Mountain, Admiral Tiance's Mansion drove Cao to join the army, Zheng Rentai tried to straighten his waist covered in blood, and dozens of hedgehogs gathered around him, like him, blood-stained heavy clothes, exhausted Tang soldiers.
The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves kept echoing in their ears, and Jung In-tae swore that he had never seen so many horses and so many cavalry in his life.
They watched in shock and despair as a cloud of cavalry swarmed by, usually wearing half-body armor, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and carrying ring-headed swords......
Because of the long pursuit, they seemed to be covered with a layer of dust from men to horses, and they rode down the slope without even showing any interest in seeing the remnants of their defeated army.
