Taiyuan Mansion, or Jinyang City, in the past, the Tang Dynasty was the capital, one of the four capitals of the Tang Dynasty, Beijing, to the fifth dynasty, not the capital but also the capital, is really one of the most important metropolises in the north of the Central Plains today.

Historically, after the death of the current Han lord Liu Jun, the Northern Han Dynasty was in civil strife, Zhao Guangyi invaded the Northern Han Dynasty, besieged Jinyang City, and forced Liu Jun's adopted son Liu Jiyuan to surrender after Kaicheng, and then moved all the residents of Jinyang inward, and burned Jinyang City, the ancient capital of several dynasties, and destroyed it in one fell swoop.

Zhao Guangyi burned Jinyang City because the Jinyang City was high and deep, the people were fierce, and the Song people had captured each other's population for a long time.

Zhao Guangyi, worried that there would be another separatist regime here, simply burned down the ancient capitals of these dynasties.

This also caused a bad result, that is, the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains, the route out of Yanmen Pass in the north, there was a lack of an important barrier and supply point.

Therefore, the Northern Expedition route out of Yanmen Pass has become extremely difficult to supply, and it is difficult for the army to go out of Yanmen Pass again, and at most it is used for production.

Yongxi Northern Expedition, the Song army was divided into three routes, out of Yanmen Pass Pan Mei, Yang Ye all the way although the battle success, but after Cao Bin's East Route Army was defeated, they had to immediately return to the army, and under the chaotic command of the prison army Wang Yu, Yang Ye, who finally stayed outside Yanmen Pass, was defeated and captured, died of hunger strike, and his second son Yang Yanyu also died in a bloody battle, which is the origin of the popular Yang family in later generations. Of course, Pan Mei, as the commander, agreed to the policy of supervising the army, and ordered Yang Ye to lead the lone army out of Yanmen Pass, and when he heard that Yang Ye was defeated, he led the army to retreat, and did not keep the contract.

At this time, outside the city of Taiyuan, the flags were all over the sky, and the joint camp of the Qi army took over the village, and the Taiyuan city was surrounded by water.

Standing at the head of Taiyuan City, Guo Wuwei, the minister of the Han Dynasty, looked at the north, the part of the Chinese army in the dense camp tent was golden, the camp tent, the cover, and the banner were all golden, which was very eye-catching, as if, in the army made of cold black iron, there was a peaceful and golden air circling in the army of the Qi army, noble and sacred.

Guo Wuwei sighed deeply, "Qi Tianzi, it's really here!" ”

There was a majestic general standing beside him, Liu Jiye, the righteous son of the first emperor, whose surname was Yang, and some people called him Yang Jiye behind his back.

Looking at the golden flag in the north like a sea, Liu Jiye's face was solemn and he did not speak.

Guo Wuwei shook his head helplessly, pointing to the situation of the Qi army's camp, "See, Qi Tianzi should be leading his pro-army, camping in the north, it's really arrogant, this means that the reinforcements from my states are coming, plus my Taiyuan army is attacking inside and outside, and he can resist just by leading the pro-army?" ”

"Wait for the reinforcements from Xinzhou and Xianzhou to arrive, I will find a way to spread the message, we will pretend to attack the Qi army in the west of the city inside and outside, and make a situation that we want to protect the lord of the country to break out of the siege, Liu Dianzhi, you will lead the assault to ......" Guo Wuwei pointed to the gathering place of the golden banner in the north, "When the Xinzhou army made the Qi army chaotic from the north to the south, Liu Dianzhi attacked the Chinese army, and everything depended on Liu Dianzhi's martial bravery!" Dianzhi is known as invincible, and this battle will make the Qi army see your demeanor! ”

Liu Jiye nodded slowly, there is no way to do this.

Speaking of which, the entire Han land, seven states and one government, has a registered population of less than 100,000 households, and it is simply unable to resist the Qi army of the Northern Expedition.

The Qi army came quickly, and soon closed the city of Taiyuan, and now can only hope for a night attack, if it can defeat Qi Tianzi and his own army, or take advantage of the chaos to protect the lord of the country to break out of the siege, retreat to Daizhou or even outside the Yanmen Pass, wait for Khitan reinforcements, and then try to counterattack.

Looking at the black pressure on the Qi army camp in the north, Liu Jiye felt a cloud of pride in his heart, he had always heard that Qi Tianzi was brave and invincible, and the Qi army was brave and invincible.

……

In front of the Luan camp, under the candlestick, Lu Ning was looking through the booklet submitted by the party, about the recent transfer of baggage, from the plan to the actual implementation, as well as some follow-up planning ideas.

In front of the table, the square-faced, big-eared, dignified-looking general standing is Dang Jin, the former Beijing Garrison Battalion Transit Envoy, and now, he has added the post of Taihang West Road Transit Envoy, in charge of all the heavy men and the grain and grass that was sent to Liaozhou.

The generals in the army are responsible for the transportation and distribution of heavy materials in the front-line sections, so that the speed and efficiency of the protection of the grain routes and the distribution of goods and horses in cooperation with the military horses of the various roads have been greatly improved.

"Not bad." Lu Ning nodded, this party is a good person engaged in logistics, and he even planned to use Taiyuan as a supply point to build a supply line from Taiyuan to Daizhou.

Moreover, once the siege of Taiyuan failed, how to make the people quickly withdraw the food and materials hoarded in Liaozhou, as long as they can resist a little in Longzhou and have a buffer of one or two days, most of the materials in Liaozhou can be transported back to Cizhou.

If Pan Mei and Yang Ye's Western Route Army in history had planned by him to escort the Han people outside Yanmen Pass back to the pass, then the situation should not get out of control and turn from a great victory to a big defeat.

Of course, if Pan Mei could follow Yang Ye's correct advice instead of acquiescing to Wang Yu's strategy, the Western Route Army would not have suffered a fiasco.

Lu Ning looked up at Dang Jin, and was about to say a word of encouragement, when the female guard hurriedly entered, handing a silk book.

It is the Yong'an Army's festival to make the fold of the De Wall, the Fold De Wall, that is, his father-in-law, the father of the virtuous concubine Fold Saihua, and the head of the Fold Army.

There are three festival envoys canonized in this dynasty, one is Wu Changwen, the envoy of the Jinghai festival of Annan, the other is the envoy of the festival of the Dingyan army, Li Yiyin, the king of Xia, and the third is the Yong'an army festival envoy Zhi Deran.

In addition, there are also the Hexi Army in Zhenliangzhou and the Guiyi Army in Zhenshazhou that are more or less tied to the Central Plains Dynasty.

These two military towns, nominally, both controlled a large area of land, of which the Hexi Army was in Gansu, and the Guiyi Army was the western part of Gansu and parts of Xinjiang in later generations.

However, the Hexi Army is now occupied by the Tubo Department that has changed the Han surname, and the Guiyi Army is even more far away, and once established itself as the Jinshan State of the Western Han Dynasty, which was later occupied by the Cao family, claiming to stay behind, five generations later in the Jin Dynasty officially canonized the Cao family as the queen of Shazhou, and the Later Han canonized the Cao family hereditary Guiyi Army Jie Du to make the inspection school Taifu; The later Zhou period also followed the previous system.

However, since the Hexi Army became the land of the Tubo people, the Central Plains and the Western Regions have been more isolated, since the establishment of the Qi Dynasty, the Cao family has not sent an envoy to meet the country, but heard that Zhao Kuangyin, who fled to Qingtang Prefecture after defeat, is eyebrows, after all, the distance between the two sides is much closer than coming to the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Jiedu envoy who is now officially canonized by Lu Ning is the Wu family in Hanoi in northern Vietnam in later generations, the Li family of the predecessor of the Western Xia Kingdom, and his father-in-law, there are only these three roads.

As for some other officials who have been awarded the festival envoys, they are all remote leaders, and they are even more fictitious, similar to honors.

These three-way festival envoys, in fact, including their own old father-in-law, rule a relatively independent kingdom.

Of course, from a historical point of view, the Zhenfu and Lin Erzhou have always been the northwest barrier of the Central Plains, whether it is the Liao State or the Western Xia, they have invaded Fuzhou and returned.

Until the descendants of later generations had no choice but to reduce the gold, the Zhejia army had always been loyal to the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Li family of Western Xia, the Wu family of Annan, etc., were completely different things.

Lu Ning is not ready to meddle in the internal affairs of the Zhijia army for the time being, its current unique system of subordinate soldiers, on the contrary, its soldiers have the advantage of strong combat effectiveness, of course, this combat effectiveness is very limited, mainly reflected in the defense of the hometown, if the Zhijia army is recruited for an expedition, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced immediately.

The military report written by the old father-in-law is mainly that under his persuasion, the Han army in Lanzhou has surrendered, and Concubine Xian Niangniang has led the army to Xinzhou to persuade him to surrender.

Xinzhou Assassin Shi Guo Tai is the younger brother of the Han puppet queen Guo, if nothing happens, he should surrender.

When Lu Ning saw this, his heart moved slightly.

Fold family and Guo family, Yang family and Han lord Liu family, in fact, there are many inextricable relationships, now the Han lord's wife Queen Guo, will be the fold of the flower as a sister in general, of course, is also a means of the Han lord to win over the fold family, when he agreed to marry the fold of the flower in Hebei, in fact, the fold of the flower is in Taiyuan City of the Guo family as a guest.

Now that she is raising troops to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, Concubine Xian's mood must be extremely complicated, although she is trying her best to do her job as a wife to help herself, but in fact, she said that to the Guo family, if Queen Guo treats her like her own sister, where will there be no old feelings, but she will never reveal it to herself.

Pondering, Lu Ning gradually had an idea.
