Chapter 237: Going North
When Fu Jian and the others discussed the matter of returning to Shunliangzhou, Wang Meng also hurried from Yongxian County to Xiangwu County. He was accompanied by a number of selected officials.
"It's good that you're here, I can also trust you with confidence that many things here!" Li Xin had just gone to inspect the lives of the people in the city, and he saw Wang Meng on the side of the road.
"After receiving your order, I have been working day and night, just because I am worried that you have too many things here and will delay your trip. Fortunately, I hurried and hurried, and finally arrived! However, this trip can make us choke enough! Wang Meng looked very haggard, but he was very happy in his heart.
"There's no way around that, you'll have to work hard for the time being. When things are arranged, you can go down and get some rest! Li Xin said with a smile.
"What you didn't say, if there's anything, you can quickly order!"
"Let's go, let's go in!" Li Xin nodded, and then led a group of people into the official office of Xiangwu County.
Since taking over Xiangwu County, Liang An and they have also handled official business here. Not only the affairs of Xiangwu County, but also the affairs of the entire Qinzhou are mostly orders issued from here.
"Come, come, let me introduce you! This is my Yongzhou Governor Shi Wang Meng, everyone should have heard of his name. You guys get closer, and we may have to work together in the future! Entering the official office, Li Xin gathered everyone together and said.
Hearing that he was Wang Meng, Liang An and the others couldn't help but take a few more looks. After all, Wang Meng is in the Huashan Army and can be described as the number two person. For the Fu Qin court, which has been an enemy of the Huashan Army for more than a year, it is naturally no stranger.
knew that Li Xin intended to let everyone know him, so everyone present hurriedly introduced themselves. And Wang Meng also secretly wrote down the names of these people in preparation for future dealings. After a while, the two sides were familiar with each other.
"Fu Qin has been destroyed, but there are still remnants of the force, I want to go north to clear the remnants! Therefore, in the future, the affairs of Qinzhou will be handed over to Jing Luo to deal with, and you will assist you, and wait until the remnants of Qin are completely pacified, and then come to unify the affairs of various places! Seeing everyone can be regarded as acquaintance, Li Xin said.
"Please rest assured, general, we will do our best to help Wang Changshi deal with political affairs!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Well, then you guys go get busy first!" Li Xin nodded.
He called Wang Meng aside and prepared to explain something.
"There are still a lot of troops in Fu Jian and Fu Fa, and this time, I may have to go for a while. If it goes well, it will be back in less than a month, but if there are other changes, it may take longer. The affairs of Qinzhou are all handed over to you for the time being! Officials from all counties under your rule, you send them over first, and then these obedient officials, you should take a good look at them, and if you can use them, you will use them first. But most of them, I'm afraid, will have to be arranged after returning to Guanzhong! β
"Don't worry, I understand! The officials brought in this time are enough to take over the counties. As long as there are no problems on your side, there is naturally not much pressure on my side! Wang Meng understood what he meant, so he said.
After the two talked for a while, Li Xin left the official office and went to the barracks.
On the Jincheng side, Fu Jian's main forces were concentrated near Jincheng Pass and Yuzhong County. So, if you want to destroy them, you naturally have to go there. Xiangwu County is more than 300 miles away from those two places, and the distance is not close.
Therefore, he decided to rush to the Mikou Pass first to meet Hu Tian. At the same time, he had already sent someone to inform Zhou Tong in Didao County, asking him to lead 2,000 men and horses to attack from the west, and then join forces with him in Yuzhong County.
And Sun Tie, who was stationed in Anding County, was also ordered to set off from Wushi County and go west through Shimen. The three-way army rushed directly to Yuzhong County from the east, west and south, so that Fu Jian's army could not escape even if they had wings.
If you do the math, although they are not as large as Fu Jian's army, they will have more than 6,000 people. As Qinzhou gradually settled down, the garrisons in each county began to slowly decrease. For the time being, the guards who were transferred from Guanzhong are slowly taking over their posts.
After all, these soldiers could not be used as mere defenders. And those who have surrendered, he has already begun to arrange people to train, according to past experience, cut out the old and weak, and only leave the capable people.
As for many other things, it is not a problem for the current Huashan Army, and there is no need for Li Xin to worry about it. Therefore, after staying in Xiangwu County for another day, he led an army of 1,000 to join Hu Tian along the same road that Fu Liu had returned to Xiangwu County.
The road was long and the road was difficult, so the army did not march very fast. Halfway through, Tu Qi received the latest news from the staff division and hurriedly came over to report.
"Zhang Zuo actually wants to recruit Fu Jian and them? It seems that he is in a hurry! "The news sent is exactly what Zhao Chang went to Jincheng Pass to persuade him to surrender. After reading it, Li Xin couldn't help but groan.
"If Fu Jian and the others really surrender to Liangzhou, then it will not be easy for us to destroy them. After all, in the current situation, we should not conflict with Zhang Zuo! Tu Qi said on the side.
"I'm not afraid of conflicts, after all, I don't care about those Liangzhou soldiers and horses! If you really want to fight, they will only lose in the end! I'm wondering if this is a good thing or a bad thing for us! Li Xin shook his head and said lightly.
"If Fu Jian and them return to Zhang Zuo, we will let go of Fu Qin's army, which shouldn't be a good thing for us, right?" Tu Qi asked a little strangely.
"It depends on what you think! First of all, that Zhang Zuo is not a vegetarian, Fu Jian and others led the army to obey him, and the final result may not be good! Perhaps, in the end, the gang will only be left with a few stragglers. After all, once you enter the territory of Liangzhou, it is a man-made sword! Li Xin glanced at him and said slowly.
"Yes, how could Zhang Zuo let such an army be on his own turf!" Tu Qi reacted.
"Of course, it has nothing to do with us. I'm thinking, maybe it's a good thing to let Fu Jian and them return to Liangzhou, at least, in the long run, it's a good thing for us! β
"What does General Nayi mean ......?"
"What we want to destroy is Fu Qin's last strength, as for Fu Jian and the others, they can't make much waves. Let them return to Liangzhou, this account can be remembered first! Li Xin thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
"By the way, Lu Polou and Liang Ping's sons are still in the Fu Jian army, you have to find a way to contact them. If we can convince them to submit to our army, that would be a good thing! These two are both fierce talents, especially Na Lu Guang, although he is young, he is a rare talent. As if he had thought of something, Li Xin continued.
"Don't worry, general, I'll arrange it myself!" Tu Qi hurriedly replied.
"Well, there you go! I led the army and rushed to the pass according to the plan. This matter, you have to do it before Fu Jian and the others decide to return to Shunliangzhou! Li Xin nodded.
Lu Polou and Liang Pinglao, both of them have already surrendered to the Huashan Army. However, Li Xin hasn't had much contact with them, especially Lu Polou, who hasn't met him yet.
Liang Ping's son is called Liang Cheng, this person is a member of Fu Qin's fierce generals in history, and he once followed Wang Meng to fight everywhere, and he can be regarded as winning great achievements. It's a pity that he died in the battle of Weishui in the end, and that time he died a little aggrieved.
As for Lu Polou's son Lu Guang, he is only seventeen years old this year, but his son is much more famous than him. Because LΓΌ Guang later conquered Liangzhou, and after learning that Fu Jian was dead, he established the Later Liang regime in Liangzhou.
Lu Guang usually doesn't like poetry and books, but only likes martial arts and hunting. According to the historical records, this person has a calm and serious temperament when he becomes an adult, and he is generous and generous, and his joy and anger are invisible.
This Lu Guang is in Fu Qin, and he is a fierce general on the same level as Deng Qiang. Moreover, he has written a lot in history, so Li Xin has a deep impression of him. Now that he is still a young man, it would be a good thing if his people could be taken under his command.
Originally, Lu Guang in history did not have a position at this time, and he should wait until Fu Jian came to power, because of Wang Meng's appreciation, he began to become an official, and he came to prominence. However, due to the fact that the history of Fu Qin has been repeatedly changed by Li Xin, Lu Guang is now a general in the army.
"Emperor Houliang in the future! Come to my bowl! Thinking of Lu Guang's submission to himself, Li Xin couldn't help but feel a little excited inexplicably.
After three days of marching north, the army finally arrived at the Mikou Pass! At this time, Hu Tian had already gotten the news, and he went out of the customs to welcome Li Xin and others.
Located at the confluence of valleys, Yuzhong County can be reached to the northwest, and Jincheng and Liangzhou are further northwest. If you go northeast, you can directly enter the northland, enter the Hetao area, and go deep into the desert grassland.
And to the south, it is the road that Li Xin just came, which can lead to places such as Longxi and Luoyang Tianshui! In short, this is a choke point at a crossroads, which is very important.
When Fu Liu passed through here, there were still 1,000 Fu Qin soldiers and horses guarding here, which belonged to Fu Jian and their command. Who would have thought that later, the Fu Qin court was defeated, and the speed was too fast.
So that when Hu Tian came over, there was no precaution in the pass at all, and after hearing the news that Fu Sheng was dead, the army was in turmoil, and directly abandoned the pass and fled. In this way, the pass was naturally easily taken and became a key pass used to resist and block the army of Fu Jian in the north.
