804. The rich land of the Hetao became a wasteland

On the school field, the two generals glanced at each other, Gu was surprised, and then stepped out at the same time to respond, Zhang Lang and the others were also surprised and happy in their hearts. The two of them followed Duan Decao, only saw Li Pojun, and said a few words of simple greetings, although Li Pojun was very kind, but the two thought that they would not be able to stand it this time, and they didn't see that the prince and the sons of Fang Du were shouting to ask for war.

Now I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually let them guard the wings, and I was delighted, moved, and secretly cheered up, this time I will definitely live up to His Royal Highness the Prince's love, and I can't say that I can still enter the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, and go further.

Seeing that the two of them were happy and full of enthusiasm, Li Pojun was also secretly satisfied, and then said loudly: "The rest of the generals will follow the general to guard the Chinese army", and then raised his hand and waved heavily: "Destroy the pseudo-Liang and recover Shuofang."

When the officers and men of the three armies heard this, they all raised their weapons and shouted: "Destroy the pseudo-Liang, recover the Shuofang, destroy the pseudo-Liang, and recover the Shuofang ......." Shouting three times, the sound shook the sky, shook a piece of dust, the war drums rumbled, and the army went out of Dingxiang City and went straight to Shuofang.

All the way across the Lu River, across the ancient Great Wall, closer and closer to Shuofang, walking on the Hetao Plain, looking at the river crossing vertically and horizontally, the land is fertile, and the vast farmland can be seen everywhere, Li Pojun is also embarrassed, as the saying goes, "the Yellow River is harmful, only one set of wealth", "the Yellow River is rich in the world, rich in the front and rich in the back", there are some Huangshui Basin, Fenshui Basin and other river basins cross, the abundance of water resources is far from being comparable to the land of wind and sand outside the Guanwai, the land is fertile, far from being comparable to the desert grassland, This is a place to plug the south of the Yangtze River, but it is a pity that most of it is entrenched by Liang Shidu.

All the way north, the population became more and more sparse, how much fertile and flat land has become a wilderness, overgrown with weeds, no one cultivates, Li Pojun is even more resentful in his heart Liang Shidu is this place, a good Hetao blessed land, he has turned it into a ruin that the people avoid like snakes and scorpions.

"This field is all fattened and high-quality fields, it is a pity that it is so barren, this scene is not visible in Guanzhong, and even in the entire Tang Dynasty." During the rest, Zhu Cheng looked at the weeds in the fields and said with emotion, although he was born poor, although he was a student, he also had a lot of contact with the land in his early years, and he felt the deepest feelings.

This is indeed true, in the territory of Datang, due to the stability of various places and the rapid increase in population, even the wasteland that is not suitable for cultivation has also been reclaimed and planted, and such a vast fertile field, barren and vacant, is basically impossible to see in the interior of the Central Plains.

"Liang Shi is perverse, tyrannical, did not take the lives of the people seriously, blindly arrogant and lascivious, exploiting the people, the people would rather abandon these fertile fields, go to the Tang Dynasty as a slave, spare their lives, and do not want to live in Liangdi, it can be seen how Liang Shi is unpopular, such a violent murderer, how not to destroy." Zhai Changsun also said indignantly, he had been the prime minister of Western Qin, and he knew that the barren land in Xiliang was robbed like a treasure, but the fertile land of this Hetao was barren and vacant, and the Liang master was really violent and incompetent.

Hetao rich land, Liang Shi are here to raise troops, but also occupy most of the half, if you manage it well, you can't compete with the kings of the Central Plains, but this guy has a violent temperament, and there is a set of wars, but this governance is a joke, and the good rich land is tossed into wasteland.

"It's okay, this trip exterminated Liang Shidu, recovered Shuofang, under the governance of my Tang Dynasty, within two years, Hetao will be rich again." Li Pojun also waved his hand at this time and said.

After that, everyone also responded, and each held back their strength.

In the afternoon, it is to enter the boundary of Shuofang City, the north is vast and sparsely populated, Shuofang County has only three counties in the Sui Dynasty, namely Yanlu County, Changze County, Ningshuo County, three counties govern a large piece of land, a small state in the upper interior of the top of a county, Yanlu County is the seat of Shuofang County, but after the death of Sui, it is basically called Shuofang City.

At this time, Li Pojun also got the news that the Turks had sent troops, sending 2,000 troops.

Li Pojun's heart sank, and he secretly thought about it, and he had nothing to do all the way, and went to the outside of Shuofang City, where he joined the vanguard of Duan Decao's department, and after exploring the terrain, he camped on a high and steep flat land on the bank of the Hongliu River.

The 30,000 army went all the way, and it came ten miles outside Shuofang City, and Shuofang City was already in chaos.

And in the palace, the drunken Liang Shi was also invited out of Gentle Township by Feng Duan and others.

"Your Majesty, the Tang army is already outside the city, and it is camped on the bank of the Hongliu River ten miles away, maybe it will attack the city tomorrow." Seeing that Liang Shidu had a pair of squinting eyes and had not yet woken up from the rhythm, Feng Duan was heartbroken, the enemy army had already hit the outside of the capital, His Majesty was still absurd, this was the rhythm of the country.

When Liang Shidu heard this, he was sleepy and half awake, opened his eyes suddenly, and exclaimed, "Is it finally here?" Feng Duan and the others heard a black line, but they didn't coax it, and they were a little stunned, but they were about to faint when they heard the next words.

"The Tang army is here, what are you still doing here, go to the city to defend the city." Liang Shidu's spirit was shocked, and he stared at him and shouted.

Then he remembered something, and asked Lu Jilan: "Shangshu, has the Great Khan sent troops?" ”

Lu Jilan also looked sad, helplessly came out of the ranks, nodded and said directly: "Back to Your Majesty, the Turks have sent troops."

Liang Shidu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and stroked his chest and rejoiced: "It's good to send troops, it's good to send troops, it's hard to be brave and brave Turkic warriors, with the help of the Turks, my Liang country is worry-free, and it is still a great Khan of Lili Xinyi."

However, Lu Jilan said very sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty, the Turks have only sent out 2,000 soldiers and horses, and they are not elite, which is not enough to stop the Tang army."

Liang Shi was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he stood up and shouted angrily: "Two thousand soldiers and horses? Not elite yet? What can this do? How could the Great Khan be so deceitful? After scolding angrily, all of a sudden, Master Liang turned his head and glared at Lu Jilan, his eyes showing a fierce light, "Is it against your will, what is there to offend the Great Khan?" So much so that the Great Khan was reluctant to sincerely help."

Lu Jilan was even more sad when he heard this, at this time he was still fantasizing about the Turks helping each other, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Turks didn't want to start a war with the Tang Dynasty now, and we were already outcasts.

Immediately, he also stepped forward and cried on the ground: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers and others are acting according to Your Majesty's will, and they don't dare to make presumptuous claims, the Turks have the Turkic Khan occupying the east and competing with the Great Khan of Lili, and the Turks are also unstable internally, so now the Great Khan of Lili does not dare to start a war with the Tang State, and naturally he can't control our Liang State."

Liang Shi was stunned when he heard this, although his temperament became more and more extreme and violent, but he was not a fool, his IQ was still there, and when he heard this, he also figured it out, and he was furious.
