Chapter 515: The Soldiers Leave the Yanmen Pass
After the group ran into the camp, Li Erhei personally inspected the integrity of Tu Qi's runes and official documents, and then began to formally listen to Li Xin's edict. Although everyone is acquainted, there are some things that cannot be saved. "The last general, Li Erhei, listens to the order!" Li Erhei bowed and said, and the generals behind him did the same.
"The king's order: Go to the year to pacify Shuofang, sweep away the Huns, all the soldiers fought bloodily, and the meritorious service was outstanding! Praise the majesty of our Tang Army, so that the enemy will not dare to commit lightly! Li Fengzhang, the general of the protection army, is hereby appointed as the general of Zhenbei, and the envoy is the commander of the festival and the military of Shuo Fang to prepare for the north! Cavalry General Peng Lin, promoted to Che Cavalry General, and Later General Hu, promoted to Pingxi General! Sun Tie, the general of Ningyuan, was promoted to the general of Beizhonglang! Yu Song, the light cavalry general, was promoted to the Xiao cavalry general, and the guerrilla general Shao Zisong was promoted to Weiyuan general! The rest of the meritorious soldiers are all rewarded for their meritorious deeds! I hope that all the troops will work together to protect the Tang Dynasty, sweep away the enemies of the Quartet, and establish the prestige of our Tang Dynasty! After Tu Qi saw it, he unfolded the Huang Aya edict in his hand.
Li Fengzhang is Li Erhei, in the past, he didn't care about his name, and he felt that there was nothing bad about being called Li Erhei. But as the official became bigger and higher, he began to slowly notice this problem.
Therefore, when he had time before, he asked Zhou Fang to give him a word, so that he would no longer be called Li Erhei in formal occasions. Unless it's someone who is very familiar with it, everyone has to call Fengzhang now.
This royal order is a reward for Li Erhei's previous achievements in pacifying Shuofang, and this matter should have been settled a long time ago. After all, it has been almost half a year since the end of the war.
But because there was a matter of Li Xin being the king before, this matter was delayed until the next year. Later, because Li Xin was busy preparing for an alliance with Huan Wen to attack Yan. So, in the end, he pressed this matter to this time.
But all the generals who participated in the war this time have basically been promoted by one level. For example, if Li Erhei and Peng Linhu are now, they are already the generals of the third grade.
Even if it is placed among other forces, this is also the level of a prince, let alone in the Tang army, this is a general of the same level as Wang Meng.
If you come up from the official position, I am afraid that Li Erhei is now the biggest general in the entire Tang Army except for Li Xin. After all, the name of General Zhenbei is not ordinary, and after the envoy festival, its significance is even more significant.
This also means that the soldiers and horses in Shuofang can be controlled by him. Peng Lin and Hu are not stationed in Shuofang, otherwise, even if they are of the same level, they will be dispatched by Li Erhei.
In addition to the promotion of the generals, the soldiers below will also be rewarded and rewarded, after all, these meritorious people cannot be chilled.
Originally, this kind of appointment should have been read out in front of everyone, but because Li Erhei was the most senior among the officials promoted this time, and most of the generals were under his command.
So, I just read it out to him all at once. Except for a few high-ranking generals such as Peng Lin and Hu, there will be someone to read it out, and the rest of the people will not be notified separately.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" After reading it out, Li Erhei and the others hurriedly said respectfully. Although it was a while late, everyone was still very happy to be promoted to official positions.
"Excuse me, everybody! General Li, there is also a secret letter from His Royal Highness here, which you can read personally! After the business was completed, Tu Qi was much more casual, and after finishing to everyone, he took out a letter sealed with fire paint and handed it to Li Erhei's hand Zheng
After hearing this, Li Erhei hurriedly handed the edict in his hand to the general next to him, took the secret letter and looked at it.
What was written in the midst of the intensity, the people present, including Tu Qi, didn't know. After Li Erhei read it, he folded the letter and said to Tu Qi: "Please go back and tell Your Highness, I already know everything he has explained, and I will definitely handle it!" ”
"Okay, then I won't stay any longer, and I'll leave!" Tu Qi nodded, and after bowing his hand to everyone, he immediately walked towards the outside of the camp.
Li Erhei personally sent Tu Qiyi and his party outside the camp gate, and after they were far away, he returned to the Chinese army tent and convened a group of generals to discuss the matter.
"Congratulations to the general on his promotion to the post of Zhenbei!" After the generals arrived, they congratulated Li Erhei in unison.
"You are also elevated, everyone rejoices! In short, the higher the position, the more we must keep in mind the teachings of His Royal Highness, and we must not take it lightly, and should focus on state affairs! Li Erhei nodded and said to everyone.
"We'll keep it in mind!" The generals hurriedly responded.
"It's good to understand! Your Highness has ordered that from today onwards, all armies will be on higher alert and closely monitor every move of the Dai Kingdom and the Hu tribes in the north! Especially in the area of the northeast river of Xihe County, there must not be any loopholes! Immediately send someone to Shuofang County, with my general order to summon General Sun over, from now on, he will temporarily sit in Wuyuan County on behalf of General Ben, you must do your best to assist him in defending Daiguo! Li Erhei glanced at everyone, and then said slowly.
"Where is the general going?" Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised and hurriedly asked.
"Don't ask, just do the order!" Li Erhei said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the last general understands!" The generals looked stunned and hurriedly responded.
After that, Bei Zhonglang, who received the military order, hurried Sun Tie to Wuyuan County. After meeting with Li Erhei alone, he officially took over the defense of Wuyuan County.
Of course, all this is only known by a few people, and not many people in the Shuofang Tang Army know about it.
After Li Erhei finished explaining, he led his soldiers to quietly cross the Yellow River and go south that night. Then he made a detour to the east and rushed straight to the front line of Xihe County, in the camp of the Tang Army on the south bank of the Yellow River, and quietly took over the defense of the new Weiyuan general Shao Zisong.
And Shao Zisong was already waiting for Li Erhei's arrival, and as soon as the two sides were handed over, he himself immediately led 5,000 soldiers and horses south along the west bank of the Yellow River. It was more than 200 miles west of Loufu Pass and then crossed the Yellow River to the east and secretly advanced to Yanmen County in the east.
Li Erhei's actions were all based on Li Xin's orders. Tu Qi was sent to Shuofang as a messenger, which was actually what Li Xin did on his way to Yanmen Pass.
Therefore, when Tu Qi rushed back from Shuofang, Li Xin at this time had already rushed to Yanmen Pass and joined Liao Chuan, who was guarding in Guangwu County.
"Shao Zisong's side has already started to act, and as soon as the soldiers and horses on his side are in place, let's start acting!" Among the Yamen guards of Yanmen County, Li Xin and Liao Chuan and other generals are discussing major matters. His arrival, not many people in this county know about it, just to keep it a secret.
"The soldiers and horses mobilized from Taiyuan, Pingyang, Xihe, Hedong and other places are heading north one after another, and on the way, Zheng except for the five thousand local soldiers and horses in Pingyang will go north along the Fenshui, and finally join forces with Shao Zisong to the west of Loufu Pass, the rest of the soldiers and horses will rush to Guangwu County to concentrate! Everyone is waiting for His Highness's order, if it can succeed this time, they will be able to take back the entire Yanmen County! Liao Chuan said.
Now there is only half of Yanmen County in his hands, which is obviously not a matter of concern for him, who has been stationed in Bingzhou for several years in the future.
Especially when they saw Li Erhei next to them, they had made great contributions, and after they were already promoted, they were even more eager for a big battle in their hearts.
"According to our plan, once the troops and horses are ready, we will start immediately. This attack on the Yan Army is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it must not be missed! The 5,000 soldiers and horses in Pingyang, this king has already sent Liang Cheng to command the troops, and he will go all the way with Shao Zisong. As for this side, it's up to you to act with the king! General Yao, you continue to guard the bottle-shaped village, and then it will be launched by your side when it is critical! Li Xin nodded, and then said to the generals in front of him.
"The last general will follow His Highness to the death!" Liao Chuan and the others hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Before you do it, don't show anything unusual for the time being. In addition, it is necessary to let Liu Hai's side secretly strengthen the vigilance, in case the Yan army will attack Shangdang Leping in a big way! Finally, Li Xin specially advised.
In mid-March, all the soldiers and horses of the Tang army were assembled, and Shao Zisong led 10,000 soldiers and horses, hiding in the mountains northwest of Loufu Pass, in the lower reaches of the Guan River. Guan River is the later partial Guan River, at this time there is no partial Guan County, so it is also called Guan River.
And Li Xin himself commanded the remaining 20,000 troops, stationed on the road from Guangwu County to Yanmen Pass. The operation of the army was relatively secretive, and it was divided into various troops and horses, and transferred to various places under various names.
Therefore, before all the soldiers and horses were gathered together, they were not discovered by the enemy. And by the time the army gathered and the spies hidden in the territory of the Yan army found out that something was wrong, Li Xin had already ordered to go out of the pass and attack the counties outside the pass.
Yanmen County also has four county towns outside the pass, such as Mayi, Vatao, Fanqi and Laoxian, which is now chaotic in the north, if it is according to the Han Dynasty, this county seat will be more.
Among the four counties, Mayi County is located 70 miles northwest of Yanmen Pass. At the same time, it is located more than 50 miles northeast of the north entrance of Loufuguan.
This Mayi is located on the main road from Yanmen to Yunzhong County in the past, and this place is very rare in history.
Whether it was in the past, when Qin Shi Huang Mengtian attacked the Xiongnu in the north to besiege the city and raise horses, or later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a plan to fight against the Xiongnu, which opened the prelude to the counterattack against the Xiongnu, it is enough to show the importance of this place.
From Yanmen Pass in the south, to the mouth of the tiger in the north, it passes through Mayi on the way, thus forming an ancient road of Mayi, which is the passage connecting the Central Plains and the desert. Therefore, if you take this place first, it will be extremely beneficial to Li Xin's subsequent actions.
