Counterattack on Jingzhou?

This choice was abandoned by Fei Qinxiang for the first time.

A counterattack is impossible, it is impossible in this life, the number of troops is only six thousand, let alone a counterattack, he doesn't even dare to go to Jingzhou, for fear of being ambushed!

If you don't counterattack, then you can only leave, the key is to go there?

Returning to Anlu State?

But after returning to Anlu Prefecture, what will happen in the future?

On the way here, he got the news that the puppet Tang thief army had landed on the west side of Hanyang, well, although he didn't know that the left army of the superintendent on the front line of Huangzhou was finished, but this did not prevent him from seeing the situation badly!

Now that Jingzhou has also been captured by the puppet Tang thief army, if he continues to stay in Anlu Prefecture, wouldn't the next step be to be attacked by Jingzhou and the puppet Tang thief army on the west side of Hanyang?

Taking a step back, can Hanyang's Zhang Yue's department be able to stop the puppet Tang thief army? Fei Qinxiang thinks it's unlikely!

If An Luzhou doesn't want to go back, then he can still go there, and it is not good to go north to Xiangyang, although Xiangyang is still in the hands of the governor, but there is also a pseudo-Tang thief army in the north.

The rest of the way can only go west, directly into Sichuan, not very good, but it is still possible to go to Padang first.

If the situation is okay, then cooperate with the rear army of the superintendent to counterattack Jingzhou, if the situation is not good, then Badong is the passage to guard the pseudo-Tang thief army into Sichuan.

After some consideration, when Fei Qinxiang was still twenty miles away from Jingzhou, he simply turned around and left, and he did not return to Anlu Prefecture, but continued to go west, where to go, naturally to Badong!

Fei Qinxiang almost came to Jingzhou, and Song Tianbiao of the Second Infantry Division didn't know it, now he just took Jingzhou, busy dealing with various affairs, not to mention anything else, even those thousands of prisoners of war are not easy to arrange.

Now his Second Infantry Division is far away from the main force, and he does not dare to act rashly, and he is even more unwilling to have thousands of prisoners of war stay in the city, not to mention the consumption of food, and it is also an unstable factor, and finally discussed with Zhang Chenhui of the navy, and decided to let the navy transport these prisoners of war away first, and transport them to the other side of the river, where a regiment of the 29th Reserve Division is stationed, which can be used as a guard, and then slowly reorganize these prisoners of war into a cantonment regiment after arriving there.

Jingzhou was successfully won, which also means that the battle plan of the second phase of the Southwest Campaign of the Tang Army has basically been successful, and on the whole, the task has been exceeded, because the Fifth Army and the Second Army have joined forces to destroy the Left Army of the Governor.

Now the remaining main force of the superintendent in Huguang is only the superintendent of the middle army on the front line of Hanyang, as for the right army of the superintendent in Anlu Prefecture and Jingzhou Prefecture and the former army of the superintendent in Xiangyang, the strength is not good!

With the victory in hand, Li Xuan also continued to march west with the Guards, and now he stayed in Jiujiang too far from the front line, and after Huangzhou was conquered, he could also move the headquarters forward appropriately, and go directly to Jiangxia County in Wuchang Prefecture, just opposite the city of Hanyang Prefecture.

Li Xuan was ready to command the Hanyang Campaign across the Yangtze River, annihilating the Governor of the Hanyang region in one fell swoop, and it was best to capture Zhang Yue alive.

Li Xuan wanted to advance west, so he naturally brought the Guards with him, and in front of them, the Fifth Army had already left Huangzhou first and headed towards Hanyang.

As for the Second Army, after many battles, it was damaged, and some troops and ammunition were transferred to supplement the Fifth Army, so that the Fifth Army could enter Hanyang in a better state, so the Second Army needed to rest in Huangzhou for a few days, and by the way, tens of thousands of prisoners of war were also reorganized.

These things are all trivial and miscellaneous matters, and they basically don't need to be handled by Li Xuan personally, and the Privy Council can handle them properly.

When he entered Hanyang in the west, Li Xuan got another good news, saying that the governor of Yiyang Sanguan took the initiative to give up Yiyang Sanguan, and the troops of the Fourth Army captured Yiyang Sanguan without spending a single soldier.

Li Xuan could also see from this news that Zhang Yue had already begun to shrink his forces.

With the fall of the Left Army of the Governor and the fall of Jingzhou, it is estimated that Zhang Yue himself can see that he wants all the 100,000 Governors of Huguang to stay.

Before, they had already killed the Left Army of the Governor, and now, it was the turn of the Inspector of the Central Army.

But this is a big deal, but the Southwest Campaign has reached this point, when the Dubiao Left Army is destroyed, in fact, the end of the Dubiao Central Army is a matter of time, Li Xuan came to Wuchang, not to inspire the morale of the army, to break the cauldron and sink the boat, saying that I am behind you, and if you are defeated, I will die.

He came to Hanyang just to witness the end of the superintendent, and by the way, he pretended to be a coercion: You see, I personally led the army to kill an army, how awesome!

Therefore, on the way to the west, he was very calm, and most of the time was not focused on dealing with military affairs, because there was nothing to pay attention to in the current military affairs, and the various departments of the Privy Council had completely undertaken the affairs of the Southwest Campaign, and the command was orderly and orderly, and Li Xuan did not need to worry too much.

Therefore, on the way to the west, Li Xuan spent more time on the handling of various government affairs, and every day he needed to review a lot of chapters.

Don't think that Li Xuan doesn't need to review the recitals when he comes out to collect in person, in fact, it is still the same as before, but the number of recitals will be less.

Every day, a large number of twists and turns would be sent out of Jinling City, and according to the importance and urgency, five hundred li expedited, or three hundred li expedited, or the speed of ordinary official documents, all the way to the west, and finally delivered to Li Xuan's hands.

So even though it is far away from Jinling City, Li Xuan still firmly controls the military and political power of the Tang Dynasty!

On this day, Li Xuan received a report from Jinling City, and it was also a report on Chen Lifu's case, but this report was not sent by Hantong, but by the Inspectorate.

Finally, with the assistance of the Patrol Police Department, the Inspectorate found out that Chen Lifu was identified, and there was no tax deduction, nor corruption or bribery, and several people who framed Chen Lifu were also found out, including the former director of the Jiangbei Provincial Tax Bureau, and then one of the deputy directors of the Inspection Department, in addition to the Suzhou Prefecture Governor of Jiangnan Province, and there are also a few black sheep within the Supervision Cloud.

They confessed that they were dissatisfied with Chen Lifu, so they jointly planned Chen Lifu's case this time and wanted to get rid of Chen Lifu!

Regarding the investigation report of the Inspectorate, Li Xuan threw it away after reading it!

The investigation report of the Inspectorate was decent, and Chen Lifu was cleared, and the black hand behind the scenes was also found, but Li Xuan knew that this matter was far from being as simple as the investigation by the Inspectorate.

Chen Lifu's case, to some extent, should be regarded as the first large-scale political factional struggle in the Tang Dynasty, and even people at the level of Shilang and Shangshu participated, otherwise, it would be able to make a boil and finally alarm Li Xuan?

And this is the focus of Li Xuan's attention to this case!

For the sake of their own interests, these people gathered together, and then wrestled with Chen Lifu's case, and after this fight, they sent Li Xuan an investigation report?

Think beautifully!

Since you dare to collude with each other and play any kind of friends under my nose, you must have the consciousness of being cleansed.

It's just that Li Xuan is not in a hurry now, he is still waiting for Hantong's investigation report, and even if he wants to rectify the party, it can't be now, now he is leading the army to go out and directly act against the senior officials of the ministry, which is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

If you want to deal with it, you have to wait for him to go back, and the way to deal with it has to be flexible, and deal with it directly in the name of the friends, which is not good, it is easy for people to think that he is Zhu Yuanzhang's second.

thinks that after he unified Huaxia, he will start killing heroes!

Even if it is dealt with, Li Xuan will not be in the name of his friends, but in other names and other ways.

He is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not simple to deal with a few high-ranking officials, in a word!

At the same time, he can't go too far, after all, Li Xuan himself knows that there are parties and mountains, which cannot be avoided in any regime, and Li Xuan does not plan to clean it up thoroughly, what he wants to do is to control this kind of thing in his own hands, you courtiers can fight each other, but it must not be for personal gain, let alone affect the development of the empire, let alone affect the imperial power.

If you want to fight, you can only fight within the framework that I have drawn!

For example, every time there is a budget meeting, various departments will fight, and even fight to Li Xuan's side, and it is normal for people from various departments to turn their faces during the imperial budget meeting, but Li Xuan feels that it doesn't matter, because this is a struggle between departments, they are fighting for official business, even if the fight is strong, Li Xuan will not interfere.

But playing conspiracy and engaging in party battles for personal gain, Li Xuan was very annoyed and disgusted.

In short, this matter needs a degree to deal with, and how Li Xuan will deal with it in the end still needs to be decided after seeing Han Tong's investigation report.

Chen Lifu's case may be very important to the courtiers below, but for Li Xuan, it is just a trivial matter, and his attention to this matter is not as important as his attention to the immigration settlement.

Seeing that the Tang Dynasty is about to completely take Hubei, and after taking Hubei, then the entire Huguang region will fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, at least the Tang Dynasty will be able to really start organizing a large number of immigrants to come to Huguang to reclaim, completely develop Huguang, and become the granary of China!

In addition, the reclamation of the Liangguang area is also Li Xuan's considerable concern, the current population of the two Guangxi is too small, adding up to only 10 million people, and many areas have not been fully developed, such as several small plains in Guangxi, the Pearl River Delta region, these are extremely fertile land, plus it is located in the south, there is a lot of rain, the sun is abundant, if you plant rice, it is easy to grow two seasons a year, and even some areas can do three seasons a year.

More importantly, because the Liangguang region is located in the south, its development has been relatively small in all dynasties, and it is a typical case of less people and more land.

Although it is said that the industry and commerce in the two Guangxi regions, especially in the Pearl River Delta region, are relatively developed, this is still not enough, and the agricultural part needs to be vigorously developed.

For the current Tang Dynasty, nothing is more important than sufficient food.

However, immigration, even if it is a domestic immigration, is not such an easy task, and the Department of Resettlement and Reclamation of the Ministry of Agriculture has reported on more than one occasion that the resettlement work has encountered a lot of trouble.
