Luo Zhaoyun basically let go of civil affairs, and let some scribes who are suitable for managing the economy, people's livelihood, household registration, and farming handle civil affairs, so that the people's hearts in Xiping County will stabilize as soon as possible.

For some big things, the final signing and clapping are all decided by him, and there is no need to bow down to everything, which will exhaust you to death.

The key to fighting the world on horseback is to rely on the founding monarch to have enough strategy and energy to fight against strong opponents.

At present, the three major departments of the Tianluo organization, Yanlang Pavilion, Qingyingwei, and Jinyi Society, are all spread out in Huangshui City, and they originally had some foundations, but now they are constantly coming, taking root in this city, and they are intricate.

In order to control an area, we must first find out the bottom layer of the mixed fish and dragons, and through the infiltration of the bottom level, the big families and evil forces in the hall can be suppressed in a targeted manner.

Yanlang Pavilion began to comprehensively investigate the large and small businessmen, Qiang people, and local snakes in Huangshui City, and Qingyingwei took action, killing several stubborn local green forest thieves, eliminating the black forces, and reshuffling the gray forces, so that the new yamen can carry out various livelihood work.

In the marshal's study, Luo Zhaoyun is designing a weapon, a long-handled Mo knife!

The knives used by the regular army of the Sui Dynasty were mostly horizontal knives, slender as swords, but they were only made in the form of knives at the edge of the blade, with a straight blade and a mixed weapon of sword and knife.

Mo knives also exist, just because the level of iron smelting and casting is limited, each heavy Mo knife weighs more than fifty pounds, and it is quite difficult to wield, and it is a weapon of heavy armor soldiers, which can be used to break the cavalry, but the samurai who can be used are often strong and strong, which is difficult to select and supplement, and does not have popularity.

Unless a martial artist who has trained internal strength uses a blade of more than fifty catties, it will not seem difficult, but it is still very physically and mentally demanding to fight for a long time.

The reason why ancient weapons are so heavy is not how good the physique is, but the limitation of the level of iron smelting.

Luo Zhaoyun's steelmaking method developed according to Yanyun Fort in Zhuo County, although it is still very rough and cannot be compared with the steel during the industrial revolution in later generations, it is already a cut above in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The use of this steel to make the Mo knife, extremely sharp, and the weight can be reduced by half, greatly with the popularization of the type, can be specially set up Mo knife infantry battalion and cavalry battalion.

At the same time, Luo Zhaoyun transferred some young officers from the Yanwutang to train here, they know a lot of theories and tactics, and they are suitable for being instructors, improving the quality and combat effectiveness of the team, and additionally building special forces, setting up numbers such as blood wolf, tiger teeth, war eagle squad, etc., which are suitable for carrying out special sneak attack missions.

.........

The route of the Li family father and son to march south to Xijing was to go south along the east bank of the Fen River, go straight to Tongguan, and then go west from Tongguan to Daxing City.

At this time, the Tang army faced a major obstacle, that is, Huoyi Xiongguan, blocking the way south.

Huoyi is adjacent to Fenshui in the north, the right side is against Huo Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, the Xiongguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the person stationed in this pass is a member of the Sui Dynasty Tiger General Song Laosheng, although the name has an old word, but he is not old, he is only middle-aged, not a first-class general of the imperial court, but the town is a place, steady and sophisticated, the nearby rebels come to attack, and several groups of people and horses are wiped out by him.

The Tang army marched to the northwest of Huoyi forty or fifty miles away, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin stopped the army and stationed in the area of the Bird Mouse Valley, a few days later, Li Yuan also led 100,000 troops to arrive, at this time, the Shanxi area caught up with the rainy season, and there was no sunny day for more than ten days, and the heavy rain was pouring down, making the mountain torrents rolling in the river valley, and the army could not move forward.

Li Jiancheng sent people to explore the road and found that the route along the road for dozens of miles was muddy, it was difficult for cars and horses to pass, and many roads were washed away by mountain floods and potholes, and water accumulated everywhere, making it temporarily unsuitable for hurrying.

After being stranded for half a month, the grain and grass in the army were already insufficient, and Li Yuan sent a baggage team back to Jinyang, but because of the rain, he stayed in a certain place and had no news for the time being.

In fact, the team had vanished, being attacked by a group of men in black of unknown origin in the rainy night, killing them all, then burying the bodies and disappearing from the world.

The more Li Yuan waited, the more anxious he became, once the grain and grass ran out, the 100,000 army would be hungry, and it was likely that he would mutiny on the spot.

Someone in the army suddenly spread the news that the grain and grass had been exhausted and that they would soon be unable to survive, and that Liu Wuzhou was about to attack Taiyuan County after breaking through Yanmen County, and the Tang army was likely to be buried on the way.

The spread of this news made the Tang army suddenly feel a little unstable and panicked.

When Li Yuan heard the news, he immediately convened the Wenchen Military General Council to discuss.

"Recently, rumors have spread in the army, and the morale of the army is fluctuating, which is not conducive to the march, what do you think?" Li Yuan asked.

Liu Hongji's expression was complicated, and he said: "These rumors, there is more than one of them, some of them rumor that the Li family should be false in the world, some of them exaggerate the grain and grass to be empty, and some of them increase their praise that Liu Wuzhou wants to conquer Jinyang City, which will be unfavorable to our army, and it seems that someone is adding fuel to the fire, and we should send someone to check whether there are spies planted by other forces in our army." ”

Li Yuan was a little puzzled, and thought about it: "Spy, which force is so vicious and regards our Tang Army as a mortal enemy?" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "The biggest possibility is Liu Wuzhou, he now occupies Yanmen County, adjacent to Taiyuan County, and has the greatest conflict of interest with my Tang Army, and these rumors seem to be related to Liu Wuzhou." ”

"Makes sense!" Li Yuan nodded, but he was used to it, and said: "It is not ruled out that other forces, such as intelligence organizations that are still loyal to the imperial court, and even Li Mi, Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, and Dou Jiande, all have this possibility, and I don't want my Tang army to become big and arrive in Daxing City smoothly." ”

It's just that Li Yuan didn't expect that it was an intelligence person from Yanlang Pavilion, which was spread among the Tang Army.

Pei Lin said: "Tang Gong, at the moment Song Laosheng according to Huoyi Xiongguan, Qu Tutong occupies Hedong County, successively blocked our way, this trip is rugged and bumpy, full of variables, at present, Liu Wuzhou and Turkic forces, is gathering in Yanmen County, will attack Taiyuan County in the near future, Jinyang is our foundation, the families of the soldiers are there, there is no room for loss, it is better for our army to immediately wave the division back, first hold Jinyang is the top priority." ”

Li Yuan also had this intention, nodded slightly, and many Wenchen generals also realized the seriousness of the matter, and stayed here longer, I am afraid that something will change, and they all want to rush back as soon as possible.

Liu Hongji shook his head and said: "No, if you return to Jinyang like this, your morale will be discharged, I'm afraid there will be no good opportunity and sharpness to go south. ”

Li Shimin has always believed in Liu Hongji's wisdom and also echoed his proposal.

So the two sides of the main battle and the main retreat argued, each saying their own reasoning, which made Li Yuan also fall into a state of indecision and dilemma.
