According to Li Jing's statement, if you can't make sufficient preparations in advance and rush to send troops into Shu, you will definitely be defeated.

Yuwen Wok, Zhang Lun thought so, and at the same time was also surprised, this person still has some talents, no wonder he has become a national ruler...... Well, just like Li Po back then, once you get involved in nepotism, if you don't have a big deal, then there will be others who will talk about it.

Therefore, Zhang Lun and Yuwen Wok did not move troops easily, but made preparations first, and the pressure on the military department and the household department suddenly increased.

"Several generals lead an army of a hundred battles, and they will enter the unpredictable place, and it is appropriate to make more preparations, especially in winter, it is not easy to march and fight, so the logistics are heavy, what the soldiers in front say, you can do it, there is no need to do more beaks.

There are more wars this year, and everyone's life is not easy...... But everyone must understand that the heart of Qin Chuan, the leader of Shuzhong, is each other's lips and teeth, and the battle of Shu this winter is the top priority, and there must be no slackness. ”

Qu Tutong and the others agreed to everything, and said some other things, and then they all resigned.

The Turks withdrew their troops to the west, so they were able to prepare for the war in Shu with all their might, and the left and right Yiwei armies were just imported into Shu first, looking at the progress of the war, and maybe they would have to increase their troops.

This year, the Kansai region was turbulent, and Li Yuan was defeated, but there were still many beginnings and tails, and other places were actually not peaceful.

At the beginning of the year, seeing the Han King Li Po and the Tang King Li Yuan fighting, Dou Jiande looked at Luoyang and drooled a little, but he didn't pick up this hot potato, and turned his head and started to run Shandong.

He has basically pacified Hebei, but there are still some counties in his hometown in Shandong that either fly the banner of the sun, moon and stars, or the banner of Li Yuan, and do not obey the control of King Xia.

At this time, Shandong, the birthplace of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the place where the rebellion against the rule of the Sui Dynasty was the most fierce, had long been deserted and desolate.

Compared with today's Henan, it is really half a catty and eight taels, which is on par.

So when Dou Jiande turned his eyes back to his hometown, it didn't take too much effort to clean up the mess at all, almost as soon as the soldiers arrived, the counties and counties were all summer soil.

can only be regarded as cleaning up his own territory a little, Dou Jiande turned his head to look at the war in the west, the two powerhouses are fighting, there must be an injury, maybe he can pick up some cheap?

For example, go to Yanmen to sneak attack, or even Jinyang? There is no shortage of such voices under Dou Jiande.

It's just that Li Yuan was defeated too quickly, Dou Jiande almost blinked an eye, Li Yuan was already defeated, and even his own life was involved.

After getting the news that Xijing had been occupied by Li Ding'an, the king of the Han Dynasty, Dou Jiande's back did not feel cold, for so many years, Li Ding'an and Li Yuan had restrained each other, fighting one after another, and he had no time to take care of him, his Xia Kingdom was quite stable, and he did not feel too much threat from Li Po.

But as soon as Li Yuan went, the situation immediately turned sinister, and it was not easy to walk on the narrow road of Taihang, but Henan ...... Once the East and West are in hand, who else will be the opponent of Li Ding'an, the king of Han?

Dou Jiande's other talents are just that, but his ability to look at the wind is absolutely first-class, otherwise there were many righteous troops in Shandong and Hebei back then, and the officials and soldiers were not easy to mess with, so why was Lao Dou left to establish the Xia Kingdom?

Just because he was a soldier, he suddenly became the descendant of Queen Dou?

In other words, his grasp of the overall situation has always been very accurate, and he is also very self-aware, and he thinks very clearly about when to do something.

For example, in the past two years, he has been immersed in running Hebei, and it is said that Hebei has achieved the point of not leaving the road behind and not closing the door at night under his governance.

The statements are a bit exaggerated, most of them are blown out by themselves, but Dou Jiande has indeed roughly completed the transformation from a bandit to a regular army in the past two years.

Ying Yanglang Tong Guangshou did not keep up with the footsteps of his old club in this process, and lost his head in a daze, he actually didn't understand how he could plot to kill his sworn brother until he died, but his crime was this, plotting rebellion and going to join Li Ding'an, the king of Han.

If Li Po can hear Tong Guangshou's shouting of grievances, he will definitely be annoyed, don't touch porcelain, okay?

With Tong Guangshou being killed, Dou Jiande is also making the final adjustments, and the transition of a rebel leader to a feudal king will always be accompanied by bloodshed.

The "old brothers" around him who have followed him for many years and survived were implicated by Tong Guangshou and killed, Dou Jiande knew such people very well, and did not give them any chance to make a comeback, as long as the people on his blacklist fell into their heads.

For example, Gao Shida's cousin, Gao Shixing, the general of Zuo Wuwei, was condemned to be killed by Tong Guangshou in the same party, and for example, Wang Fubao, the general of the left army, also lost his head.

These two are both highly prestigious generals in the Xia army, and after being sentenced for their crimes, there are many sequelae, but Dou Jiande still did it, because when he became the emperor, he no longer needed any "old brothers", what he needed was courtiers.

Tong Guangshou and others also adhered to the style of the peasant army, and often called Dou Jiande brothers, without any consciousness of being a subordinate, and from time to time pointed fingers at Dou Jiande's ideas.

Another important reason is that they did not deal with the various political groups headed by Pei Ju, Cao Dan, Ling Jing, Liu Bin and others, and the conflict became increasingly fierce, so the purge came as scheduled.

Internal strife and purge are things that will inevitably happen when the rebel army develops to a certain stage, and the difference is only that Dou Jiande killed others, or someone else killed Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande completed the transformation quite quietly, more clever than Wang Shichong and others, after all, he did not start in a hurry a few years ago, but waited for a suitable time, neither external interference, but also won the support of many people before sending the brothers to Huangquan Road together.

……………………………………

Dou Jiande felt threatened, and after discussing with his subordinates, he sent an envoy to begin to show favor to Xiao Miao, and hinted that Xiao Mi should be the master of Henan.

As long as the two join forces, Li Dingan will not dare to peep east.

If you want to say that Dou Jiande's life is going well, then Xiao Mian is going downhill.

When Xiao Mo raised the army, he also said to the old brothers who supported him, we should share weal and be prosperous together, but what he said was less reliable than Dou Jiande, and he was not a thing.

After Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, was killed, Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, was afraid to return to the dynasty, and finally died in Changsha, Zheng Wenxiu, the king of Chu, died of illness in the palace of the king of Chu in Jiangling, and Lei Shimeng, the king of Qin, died in Kuizhou last year, plus Yang Daosheng, the king of Song, who voted for Li Po.

Well, in the past two or three years, most of these people who followed Xiao Miao's family have died, leaving only Xu Xuanche, the king of Yan, and Wan Zhan, the king of Lu, who are still there.

And whether it was Xiao Mill out of scruples, or the two of them were afraid of Xiao Mill, anyway, Xu Xuanche said that he was sick and left the dynasty and went back to his hometown, it is said that he was intercepted and killed on the road and survived.

Wan Zhan honestly handed over his military power and returned to the mansion to live, even so, there are rumors that he almost died of poisoning several times.

The internal fighting was fierce to this extent, and the offensive outside was naturally unsustainable, and the battle against Kuizhou had already stopped due to the death of King Qin.

After several years of tug-of-war, Changsha was reoccupied by Lin Shihong, and the crumbling state of Chu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Ning Changzhen, Wang Renshou and other former Sui generals did not have the same respect for Xiao Mo as before, although they were still under the banner of Liang Guo, but everyone knew that it was impossible to direct them.

This year, Xiao Mian was actually not idle, seeing that his strength was greatly damaged, Xiao Mian did not have any remorse, but made people spread rumors and slander Qi Wang Zhang Xiu and others for being ungrateful, arrogant and unreasonable, bullying colleagues, colluding with party members, dominating the court, and so on.

In addition to making the kings famous, this did not bring any benefit to Xiao Miao, the king was dim, and there were villains all around, so Xiao Mi buckled a few hats for himself by the way.

Xiao Mo is as faint as a demon, maybe he is such a person, but he barely suppressed his nature in the process of climbing up.

There is a lot of heroic demeanor in the late Jin Dynasty...... Crazy and confused......

This year, Xiao Mo heard that the Han King Li Ding'an and Li Yuan were fighting again, and he was very "pleased", feeling that Li Yuan and Li Po had no resourcefulness, they only knew how to bury their heads and work hard, and they didn't look at the overall situation of the world.

He Xiao Milling is different, now he has Jiang Biao, sitting on hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, inner saints and outer kings, like Li Yuan and Li Ding'an, Dou Jiande's generation, how can he compete with him?

After discussing with everyone, I felt that going north to Henan was easy to have a conflict with Dou Jiande, and the gains outweighed the losses, so it was better to take advantage of Li Yuan's self-care to continue to attack Kuizhou, if he could occupy Shuzhong, the prospect would be too wonderful.

So he ordered Zhang Zhenzhou, the general of Zuotunwei, to lead the army into Shu again and attack Kuizhou.

Immediately, Xiao Mo ordered Ning Changzhen, Wang Renshou, Su Huer and others to lead the army to attack Changsha, but in the eyes of those three people, Changsha has become an ominous place.

Zhang Xiu was recalled to the court for Changsha's merits, and was executed soon after, Dong Jingzhen guarded Changsha on behalf of Zhang Xiu, and then died in the city of Changsha.

Whether it is Ning Changzhen, Wang Renshou, or Su Hu'er, they have all experienced those chaos, and several people have also formed a lot of grudges, let them attack the enemy in one place, and the emperor also thought of it, wouldn't he want to kill people with a knife?

So a few people stood still, as if they had not received an edict from Gangneung.

This made Xiao Milling angry enough, and he wanted to order Zhou Faming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to lead the handsome Huang Hu'er, and Qiu He, the governor of Jiangzhou, to recruit Wang Renshou and others.

Finally, his subordinates couldn't stand it anymore, although Ning Changzhen and the others didn't listen to the edict, they still thought they were the courtiers of the Liang State, if you send people to attack them, they will definitely rebel...... So he persuaded the king in a rage.

When the news of Li Yuan's defeat reached Jiangling, it caused a lot of shock, and Xiao Mo was discussing with his subordinates how to deal with Li Ding'an in the future.

It just so happened that Dou Jiande's letter arrived, and he spoke very respectfully between the lines, which could barely be regarded as diverting Xiao Miao's attention, so the issue of marching into Henan was brought up again.
