Chapter 472: Hurry back to Guanzhong

The battle in Yanjin City was over, and the ending was not a little surprising, just like the negotiation between Wang Xu and the five families of Shangqi City.

Yuangai Suwen's 250,000 army, and 50,000 Tang troops fought until midnight, and was attacked by Zhang Gongjin's department who came later, and finally, with more than 100,000 remnants, fled to Xincheng, his more than 100,000 baggage troops, was beheaded by Zhang Gongjin's more than 30,000 people, captured more than 100,000, and took the Liaodong City Hou Junji army, quickly broke through the surrounding county towns, to the village, under the new city, and Li Shimin's East Route Army division, combined with 100,000 troops, for the new city of more than 200,000 Goguryeo army, maintain an offensive posture.

The reason why the two armies are combined, there are only 100,000, is because Li Shimin handed over the wounded soldiers of the first battle of Yanjin and the people of Yanjin City who lost their homes to Cheng Chumo to send them to Hebei Province.

And Liaodong City, Hou Junji also left 50,000 troops to Li Daozong, let him stick to the city defense at the same time, cut off the Goguryeo army to Jian'an, Jishi City direction to make up, Yanjin and Liaodong two openings were torn apart, the Tang army wanted to attack the local city of Goguryeo, there were roads everywhere, now, Li Shimin is not in a hurry to attack the city, just want to concentrate his forces to chase Yuangai Suwen to fight, because, he accepted Li Jingxin's strategic suggestion, released a part of the Goguryeo prisoners, and let them spread the evil deeds of Yuangai Suwen burning Yanjin in Goguryeo mainland, Of course, it also publicized Li Shimin's benevolence and generosity, so that the Tang army only needed to take Yuangai Suwen, and with the help of Gaode's name, it could liberate the entire Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Li Shimin also sent Zhang Gongjin as an envoy to inform the countries of the intention of Yuangai Suwen to harm the Wa Kingdom, Silla, Baekje soldiers, and the generals of the army, trying to eat them after the war.

Of course, Zhang Gongjin's trip is not just to inform, but to force them to make a final statement, at this time, if they are not completely subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, then, after the Tang Dynasty's army takes Yuangai Suwen, the next thing is them, and whether they will be invited to Chang'an City to drink tea and watch a play, or eat prison food, it depends on their current choice.

However, the development of the battle situation in a good direction did not make Sun Xiangfu, who received the battle report in the rear, feel a little happy.

Zhao Long not only brought the battle report of the Goguryeo battlefield, but also brought him Wang Ming's confession.

"Wang Hao really has the means in Goguryeo, so there will definitely be an accident here in Chang'an, gather all the guards, one person and three horses, let's set off quickly and rush to Chang'an······"

Sun Xiangfu didn't even come to explain anything to Chu Suiliang and Li Chengqian in person, but hurriedly left them a few letters asking them to temporarily preside over the logistics of the Eastern Expedition, and explained the situation to Li Shimin on his behalf, so he hurriedly followed a group of old guards who came back from the Northeast Battlefield, as well as more than 200 guards he often brought with him, and rushed to Guanzhong.

In Shuzhong, the Jiannan Provincial Governor's Mansion, Xiao Yu sat on the ground like a lost soul.

Just now, the subordinate officials urgently reported that more than 200,000 cavalry from Tubo suddenly attacked, besieged Songzhou without fighting, and went all the way to Hanzhong.

He who agreed with Chai Shao on the matter of sending troops, knows too well the defense situation of Shuzhong on this road to Chang'an, and there is absolutely no place that can resist the advance of more than 200,000 Tubo cavalry, that is to say, if there is no accident, these more than 200,000 Tubo cavalry can arrive at Chang'an City after ten days, and at this time, the defenders of Chang'an City are less than 20,000, which is much weaker than when Wude's 200,000 cavalry broke through to Guanzhong in the ninth year.

The capital fell.

Thinking of these four words, Xiao Yu felt like the sky had fallen.

"Boss, let's immediately notify Chang'an with a flying pigeon message, perhaps, Chang'an can be prepared."

"Yes, yes, fly pigeons and pass the book, release the pigeons, Chang'an has so many people, as long as we work together and prepare early, we may not be able to let the Tubo people break the city, quickly, write a letter······"

Yizhou is not very far from Chang'an's straight-line distance, carrier pigeons, five or six days if it is fast, if it is slow, about seven or eight days, it can be reached, and the road out of Sichuan in Shuzhong is not so easy to walk, even if the Tubo people are full cavalry and two horses, rushing to Guanzhong, it will take more than ten days, there is a time difference of a few days, Chang'an, you can make a lot of preparations.

At this time, Xiao Yu knew that he might have fallen into a trap, the rebellion in Yunnan must have something to do with the sudden dispatch of troops from Tubo, but even if he sent a letter to transfer Chai Shao back now, it would be in vain, because, even if Chai Shao received the letter, regardless of the war in Yunnan, he led the army back to Shuzhong, and then went to Guanzhong, at least it was a month or two later, and there was no help for the war at all.

Now, he can only hope that the ministers left behind in Guanzhong can finally hold on, so in his letter, the words are extremely sincere, and even he thinks that even if Chang'an survives this crisis, the fate of him, the governor of Jiannan Province, will not be too good, because it is he who has caused the capital to fall into such a crisis.

With fire to burn hundreds of thousands of people in Yanjin City and most of the Tang army, Wang Hao is simply a madman, Sun Xiangfu is no longer cursing him in his heart, now, what he wants to do most is to kill him, because a conspirator with no humanity is too terrible for a country.

If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, is this sentence right, is it two words! You can't kill everyone because you're afraid that others will have different intentions! Can you guarantee that there is only one Han nation in this world, and there will be no war within the Han nation? How to fight when the time comes, the people who die are their own people, what do you say?

If there is no war in this world at all, it is almost impossible, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are rivers and lakes, there must be battles, this is unavoidable, now, Sun Xiangfu is worried that Wang Hao has a more crazy plan than in Goguryeo, because, if the plan is not crazy, it is not enough to drive Li Shimin crazy, not enough to drive himself crazy.

Therefore, he was very eager to rush from Shanyang to Guanzhong, but unfortunately, he was just a normal person, so even if it was one person and three horses, replacing along the way, he could only run about 400 miles a day at the earliest, and when he ran more than 1,800 miles and arrived at the boundary of Guanzhong, it was already five days later.

"Looking at the scene here, Wang Hao's plan should not have been launched yet, let's go to Weinan today first, and then go to Chang'an tomorrow."

Five or six days in a row, Sun Xiangfu's bones are about to fall apart, now, it's almost October, the weather in Guanzhong is already very cold, a group of more than 200 people arrived in Weinan, and finally can sleep peacefully and eat a hot meal.

"Hey, it's October, why are there so many Hu people here in Weinan who haven't left?" Sun Xiangfu saw the streets of Weinan and a large proportion of Hu people, and asked with some surprise.

"My subordinates went to find someone from the Sheriff's Department to inquire."

Although Zhao Long is Sun Xiangfu's original guard, it is Zhang Ke who has really been with Sun Xiangfu for the longest time, he has been in Lingnan for several years, and when he sees the scene in Guanzhong now, it is actually similar to Cheng Chumo who returned to Guanzhong. 、

Soon, Zhang Ke learned the news from the inspector of the Public Security Bureau.

"Dudu, they are the family members of Hu merchants who chose to settle in Weinan, I heard that last month's commodity fair recorded a cash turnover of more than 7 million guan, which almost made all Hu merchants take out all the money on their bodies, but many Hu merchants want to borrow our Datang goods, settle down in Datang, and if they leave their families, they can borrow more goods, so ······"

Soon, Sun Xiangfu had some understanding of what happened in Weinan last month, the commodity transaction was hot, which was what Sun Xiangfu expected, the seven million transactions, but not only the Western Regions Hu Shang created, local merchants also contributed a lot, such as the major temples, all spent a lot of money to the glaze factory to customize the glazed Buddha statue, the Taoist temple did not fall, these religious organizations that accumulated a lot of wealth in the pre-Sui period, finally began to bleed.

However, it is good to adjust it a little after that, in the short term, it is not suitable to become the residence of the people of any other country except the workers of the Tang Dynasty, because there are too many technologies involved, and it is easy to be spread, but when those Hu people have a greater sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty than their own country, it can be implemented, ethnic integration! It doesn't matter what race it is, it's good to blend in.

Compared with the value of more than 10 million yuan of goods lent out this year, in fact, the cash turnover of 7 million guan is nothing, since the first year of Chang'an for the Western Regions Hu merchants to adopt this kind of lending and management methods, there are millions of goods lending transactions every year, many merchants and their old customers have a very tacit understanding, the amount given to them, is getting higher and higher, this is all private business behavior, there is no need for the imperial court to interfere, merchants want to sell more goods, as well as the interests of the loan, You have to be aware of taking risks.

If all the goods need to be bought by the Hu merchants in full, then not only will the Hu merchants be able to take away much less goods from Chang'an, but all the risks of operation will be added to them, which is unreasonable.

Under normal circumstances, the merchant only needs to pay three or four percent of the payment for the goods for the old customers, and then the goods can be taken away, and when the next year comes, the payment of the previous year will be paid off, and then three or four percent of the payment will be paid, and more goods can be loaned.

In fact, the Datang merchants who lent them the goods did not take any risk, because the payment of three or four percent of the goods had exceeded their cost price, and the money brought to them by the Hu merchants in the second year was all part of their profits, as well as part of the interest money.

Like glaze, porcelain and other goods, the cost is actually less than one percent of the selling price, Hu Shang is also according to the market price, pay three or four percent of the price of the goods to get the goods, there are huge profits, naturally there are people willing to take risks, who told them to sell more, earn more!

As for the cases where Hu Shang died on the road, or the goods were messed up, there were also cases, but they were very few, and even in later generations, there was no government that could guarantee the safety of all the enterprises in the country.

Besides, if something happens to these people, their heirs, or the people who work for them, will want to continue their business. The way to borrow money is much more important than a year's payment, and it is a way that can bring them great wealth every year, and the merchants are shrewd and know what to do right.

And swindlers generally don't live long, because once they don't keep their promises, they will become the enemies of Datang, and all Hu merchants, and even the enemies of the country behind these merchants.

Moreover, for those veteran Hu merchants, in fact, the expeditionary force has some information about them in their own country, and only those old Hu merchants will have a higher loan amount.

Generally speaking, with about 7 million guan in cash, take away the goods worth 17 million guan in Weinan, in Sun Xiangfu's view, this is quite reasonable, even if the Hu merchants in the Western Regions do not come collectively next year, these factories in Weinan have actually earned at least two or three million guan in benefits.

Therefore, when he met the chief officials of Weinan, he praised them greatly, and then he went to check the arsenal warehouse of the smelter for the first time.

Due to the fact that a production line was deliberately set aside before, in the past few months, the smelter has produced a lot of weapons and equipment, because, with the gradual development of the mining industry, the smelter's mineral sources are more abundant, and the workers want to make more money, so they naturally produce more.

Seeing the mountains of weapons and equipment in the warehouse, Sun Xiangfu was a little relieved, under the double proposal of Li Shimin and Yu Xiu'er, he endured the cost of not cutting this production line, and now it seems that it has played a big role. ()
