The capital of the Jin Palace.
Due to Zhang Xutuo's backlash, the defensive fortress of the capital originally built by Yang Su completely collapsed overnight. The 350,000 princeling army in the city had no intention of fighting again, and the whole line was defeated.
On the day of the city break, Yang Yong fled out of the city in a hurry with the jade seal of the country under the hostage of Yang Su and others, and only had time to keep up with 50,000 cavalry. Under the leaderless group of princelings in the capital, basically all of them surrendered the lives of the Hedong Jin army.
After disarming the remnants of the princelings in the capital, Yu Wenhua led his Chinese army into the city and came to the palace of the king of Jin to gather with the Taifu and his father Yu Wenshu, who were left behind in the palace. The palace of the king of Jin also became the temporary office of Yu Wenhua and the Chinese army, and various military orders to stabilize the capital were issued from here.
After several days of peace and control, martial law was no longer imposed on the whole city, and order in the capital was fully restored to the pre-war level. The people of the city traveled freely, and their lives were in order. The idlers of the tea shop and restaurant are all praised, and the Hedong Army has strict military discipline, which is completely different from the style of the forbidden army in the capital in the past.
"General Daoxing, the life of the people in the city is already stable, only 50,000 soldiers need to be left in the city, and the rest of the men and horses can withdraw from the city and camp outside the city so as not to disturb the people. Although the troops have been scattered and imprisoned in the outer wall, they must also be more careful. There are more than 100,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city, and most of their families are in the city, and they can be gradually brought back by their relatives after paying bail. The rest of the county government soldiers were all born ordinary people, and after being screened by the inspectors of the Supervision Department, they were dismissed and released to their families as farmers. The more than 20,000 Hanzhong soldiers, don't let them go yet, and wait for the inspector to make Zhang Heng have a result. ”
"Yes, sir. The last general will send someone to handle it according to the will of the commander. It's just that Zhang Xutuo's department is still stationed alone outside the city, how to deal with it? ”
"General Zhang Xutuo is a good general who is favored by the lord, and most of the Hongnong soldiers under his command are elite, and they can all be reorganized, formed into an army alone, do not break up, led by General Zhang Xutuo, and notify the logistics quartermaster department to fully change their outfit. General Daoxing can go to his army and ask General Zhang Xutuo to submit the staffing of the generals of the headquarters to the commander, and in the future, it will be implemented according to the treatment of the officers of the Jin Army in Hedong. ”
"Yes, the last will obey."
"General Yunzhao, the search for the remnants of the princelings in the city will continue, don't let anyone slip through the net, and hand it over to him for trial after Zhang Heng supervises and makes Sheng return to the city."
"Dashuai, the princelings and their families who have not escaped in the capital have been arrested, and they are now all detained in Jingzhaoyin Prison, just waiting for Inspector Zhang to interrogate."
"Good! 2,000 veterans from the battalion from your Bai Ma Yi to temporarily guard the forbidden army on behalf of the palace, and the palace must not be a little messy during the period when the lord does not return to Beijing, and reliable veterans must be selected to be used, you know? ”
"Yes, the marshal just rest assured, these 2,000 veterans will be reckless by General Hou Junda, who is the commander of the Praetorian Guard for the time being, and will guard the palace and be foolproof."
"Hmmm! Hou Junda is people-oriented, so it is the best. ”
Yu Wenhua arranged all the things he could think of, and when he was thinking about whether there was anything missing, he suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside the mansion and came to the middle of the mansion hall and reported: "Dashuai, there is news from Inspector Zhang who went out of the West Gate to pursue Yang Yongyu's party." ”
"Oh? Debin said quickly, did Master Zhang recover the jade seal, but took Yang Yong? Yu Wenhua and seeing the newspaper, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly got up and asked.
"Good news, big handsome! Inspector Zhang not only recovered the jade seal of the country, but also took Yang Yong and other fugitive officials alive. Zhang Debin, the guard of the West Gate, said excitedly to the high-ranking generals in the palace.
"Good! All right! Now I finally have an explanation from the lord. Yu Wenhua didn't wait for Zhang Debin to finish speaking, so he applauded, and at the same time, put down the heart that had been hanging. Yu Wenshu, Han Baohu, Li Jing, Wu Yunzhao, Pei Yun and others in the mansion were all overjoyed.
"Dashuai, that's not all! Zhang Daren and Hua Gongming, Tong Huan and other generals chased Yang Yong and others directly into the hinterland of Hanzhong, forcing Yang Liang, the king of Han, to surrender, and Nanzheng City is now occupied by our army. ”
"Oh? Everything! Isn't the whole of Hanzhong also owned by my Hedong Army? Hehehehehe! What a surprise! Zhang Heng really has good means. "Yu Wenhua and actually some don't believe their ears, can take advantage of the pursuit of Yang Yong, by the way, the Hanzhong King Yang Liang cut the domain, originally not in the plan to send troops, but now Zhang Heng did it by the way, this is a great surprise, Zhang Heng has this merit is no less than his Yu culture and the capture of the capital.
"General Debin, what you said is the truth? Did none of the ministers who fled with Yang Yong slip through the net? Pei Yunshang was able to keep a little calm and asked Zhang Debin.
"Master Pei, the last general is stationed at the west gate, and the captain who just sent a message from Zhang Hengda said to the last general in person, that captain is now resting in the camp of the last general due to overwork, how dare the last general talk nonsense. He also said that Yang Su, the king of Yue, died in front of the two armies, and was hammered to death by the lord and his father-in-law, the general of the guard, Luo Shixin; Zhang Xun, the former commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, was wounded and captured by Wei Chigong; Yu Wenkai, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials and Yang Su's think tank, killed himself. The rest of the entourage were all captured and were on their way back to Beijing. ”
"Good! You will go back to the camp first, and after the newspaper colonel is rested, he will be brought to the house, and the marshal will still have something to ask him. After Yu Wenhua calmed down his excitement, he said to Zhang Debin.
"Yes, sir. The last general went first. Zhang Debin bowed and turned to leave.
"Alas! I think that Yang Su was also a man back then, and he had a lot of merit in laying down this great Sui country, but he had bad intentions, so that he could not guarantee the late season, and finally ended up dying like this, which is a pity. After Yuwenshu heard that Yang Su, the king of Yue, had died, he couldn't help but sigh and said, as he was also a veteran of Kaisui.
"Father, it should be cheaper for him to die under the hammer of Luo Shixin. Murdering the lord several times, even if he is alive, he can't escape a sentence of Ling Chi, and if he can be freed in advance, it can be regarded as a great creation. ”
"Dashuai, do you want to report to the lord to find out?" Pei Yun asked.
"The stakes are very high, and it is better to wait for Inspector Zhang to return to Beijing before reporting to the lord. At that time, it is good to report Yang Yong and other handling opinions to the lord to know. ”
"Hmmm! Or the handsome thinks long-term. ”
"Report ---" suddenly walked into the flag officer of the No. 1 Chinese army from outside the mansion. Everyone in the house hurriedly looked at this person, waiting for his report.
"Report, marshal, this is an urgent report from General Wei Wentong of Shuofang City." After that, he stepped forward and handed over a bag in his hand to Yu Wenhua and his hands.
After Yu Wenhua took it, he waved his hand to signal the Chinese military flag to retreat, and he hurriedly opened the bag and took out the letter to check it.
"Humph! What a Li Jing who doesn't know whether to live or die! After stealing the land of my Hetao, I was not satisfied, and I actually put on a posture of going south to attack my Shuofang City, which is really insidious! ”
"Oh? The marshal, the Tang Army, occupies the Hetao, and for our Hedong Army, it is like a fish in the throat, and it must be pulled out by troops. Li Jing hurriedly proposed.
"General Daoxing, don't be impatient, Li Yuan occupies my Hetao, presumably Luzhou Pei Sima has already received the letter. Now that our army has just occupied the capital, it is a big matter here, and it is not appropriate to use troops. If you want to send troops north to recapture the Hetao, you also need to have the lord's decree, and my son's Chengdu department has also returned to Shuofang City and strengthened the first-line defense of the Great Wall, in case the Tang soldiers attack south, it is estimated that at this time they have also converged with General Wei Wentong. We will wait until Inspector Zhang returns to Beijing to discuss the matter of sending troops. General Daoxing can send someone to greet Zhang Hengren. ”
"Yes, that's what will be arranged. Xue Ju and Qiao Shan listened to the order and ordered the two of you to take 1,000 men and horses out of the West Gate to welcome the army of Inspector Zhang. ”
"The last will obey." Xue and Qiao Erjun all responded to the road, and then left the house.
The rebellion in the capital subsided, but the resulting Tang and Jin wars were being staged, and the plot was gradually moving towards a dramatic climax.
Li Jing camp in Hetao.
After several days of combing through the entire Hetao area, Li Jing's 150,000 Tang troops basically did not encounter any resistance, and wiped out the small number of Jin troops scattered in various places left behind in Yuwen Chengdu. Not only occupied all the Hetao valley in one fell swoop, but also took the crops in the fields that were about to mature on this fertile land for themselves, and Li Jing, who was originally worried about the long-distance difficulty in transporting grain, suddenly had no worries about food shortage, which made Li Jing and his subordinates very happy.
"Brother Yaoshi, Brother Wei is annoyed by the lack of boats on the river and cannot transport the grain and grass, but I don't want to have food here. The sweet potatoes and potatoes in this field are ripe and can be harvested at any time for military rations. And the corn planted all over the river beach is even more inexhaustible! Hehe! Is it any wonder that Yang Guangjun, the king of Jin, never lacked food in his army? Chai Shao said with a smile to Li Jing with a wine glass.
"Yes! Brother Sichang. There are not many people in this Hetao land, but they have planted so much food on the vast land with the help of the army. This sweet potato, potato, corn and other little brothers have been eaten in the homes of ordinary people in Hedong County, and it is indeed an excellent grain. These are all high-yield grains, and if they are widely sown in our Jinyang, they can alleviate the suffering of our Jinyang food shortage every year. ”
"What the virtuous brother said is very true, this matter will be handed over to the brother to handle. By the way, there is also the rice in the paddy field, which is also different from the millet and corn planted in my Jinyang, this rice is crystal full and full, and the rice is extremely sweet and delicious, and it also needs to be introduced to my Jinyang planting. I don't want the pharmacist to make this trip not only easily occupy a large area of land, but also solve my Jinyang food worries, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone! Come, a cup for my brother and brother. Chai Shao, who had been in excitement, raised his glass to Li Jing and invited all the generals in the tent to drink together.
"Marshal, the last general heard that the Hedong Army had broken the capital, and the new emperor Yang Yong had been kidnapped by the King of Yue and fled to Hanzhong. Now that the rebellion in the capital has been calmed, Yu Wenhua and the million-strong army will inevitably come north to attack me, I don't know how to deal with it? Deputy Marshal Yin Kaishan put down his wine glass and asked the young Li Jing.
"General Yin, Ben Shuai is also worried about this. Originally, I thought that the rebellion in the capital would take 3 months to calm down, but I didn't want it to die down in just a few days. Yang Yong's more than 300,000 horses were useless. Ben Shuai has just occupied this Hetao and has not yet sat down to face the Jin army's attack, alas! It's really hateful. Li Jing took a sip of wine and said extremely depressed.
"Brother Medicine Master, although the land of this Hetao is good, there is no city to defend! How can the 150,000 horses of our Tang army resist the attack of the Jin cavalry in the wilderness? Chai Shao asked worriedly.
"Yes! Ben Shuai wants to take advantage of Yu Culture and the army to clean up the mess in the capital now, send troops south to attack Shuofang City, now Shuo Fang Guard is Pei Renji, not Hedong generals, and the troops are scattered in various points of the Great Wall, Shuofang City defenders are not many, my army can take it. If Shuofang City is occupied, it can be used as a front-line barrier for our army to resist the Jin army coming north to attack, and it is convenient to hold Shuo and hold the entire territory of this Hetao. ”
"Dashuai, the last general is willing to take 50,000 horses from his headquarters to take Shuofang City in the starry night." Yin Kaishan got up and clenched his fists and asked.
Ben Shuai has this intention. Then ask General Yin to attack tonight, and in 3 days you can reach the city of Shuofang, and the commander will arrive with a large army later. ”
"The last general obeys the order, this wine will be drunk happily after taking down Shuofang City, and the last general will go!" After Yin Kaishan bowed, he led his two generals, Han Chengbao and Ding Tianhu, out of the big tent.
"Brother Yaoshi, according to my brother, it is better to transfer 50,000 Tang troops from the Xu Military Division in Western Jin to listen to it, if Shuofang City is taken, then the three cities of Lingwu, Yanchuan and Eagle along the Great Wall cannot but be taken, and these three places also need to be garrisoned." Chai Shao was also a resourceful person, and he had long seen the coexistence and symbiosis between Shuofang City and the three cities along the Great Wall, so he proposed.
"What Brother Si Chang said is really every word, and he hit the nail on the head! But the soldiers of the three cities in the west of Jin can't move, the younger brother has always had hidden worries, that Yang Guangfei is a person who is willing to suffer, and now the younger brother is taking advantage of the situation to seize his Hetao, and he is taking the grain on this large piece of land for himself, how can he not be annoyed? The day before yesterday, the younger brother got a report that Wu Tianxi, the general under the King of Jin, had led an army of 150,000 to aid Luzhou, and if you add the 50,000 troops of Hou Junji's army transferred back from Zezhou earlier, now Luzhou Sima Pei Shiju can call no less than 200,000 mobile soldiers. The little brother is afraid that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, will take revenge on me and launch a full-scale attack on Jinyang! If he lightly moved the soldiers of the three cities in the west of Jin, he would become the weakest point of my Jinyang, and his 100,000 soldiers were not enough to be idle, how could he dare to call it? Li Jing said helplessly.
"Brother Pharmacist is saying that if I start a full-scale war between Jinyang and Hedong, Xu Junshi will be the urgent place to go?"
"It's not just a place of urgency, it's more like Kong Ming's lost street pavilion. If the three cities are lost, the Tang army of our Hetao will suddenly become a rootless duckweed. But despite this, I Jinyang can't send more people to guard, it's up to Brother Mao. After speaking, Li Jing picked up the wine glass and drank it alone with a little depression.
After Chai Shao listened to Li Jing's words, he was a little dazed. He was savoring the weight of Li Jing's words, and in the end, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in the palm of the hand holding the wine glass.
"Brother Pharmacist, return to Jinyang as soon as possible tomorrow for my brother, and inform Tang Gong of the words of the virtuous brother. Thinking that my brother understands Yang Guang, he is very likely to attack my Jinyang, because when my brother came, he knew that Hedong County blocked my Jinyang's trade route to the Central Plains, so it can be seen that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, has already made a move on my Jinyang. I, Jinyang, seemed to be indifferent, and didn't take precautions. ”
"Brother Sichang will return to Jinyang tomorrow and pass through Pingyi City, where Brother Mao is stationed, when he is reminded to strengthen his defense, send a horse to the south to listen to the news of the Hedong Army, it is best to send a small group of men and horses to occupy the key points of the border roads, and do not let the troops of the Jin army going north sneak attack our three cities. Remember! Li Jing reminded Chai Shao repeatedly.
"Brother Xian, don't worry, for my brother to convey this words to Xu Junshi, for my brother is worried in his heart, I won't drink this wine today, say goodbye!" Chai Shao had no intention of drinking, and he forgot the benefits of occupying the Hetao at the beginning, and only Xu Maogong guarded the safety of the three cities in western Jin. I can't wait to return, but it's getting late, and I can only travel tomorrow.
There was no one else in the military tent, Li Jing also put down the wine glass and stopped drinking, got up and walked outside the military tent, looked at the gloomy sky and sighed: "There is no one in this world who can be the enemy of Yang Guang, and he should not give up Hedong to the King of Jin!" Letting Hedong is equivalent to letting go of Jiangshan Sheji, in vain! ”
