Chapter 233: Hill in Distress

The 12 armies in the Guannai placed by Li Yuan naturally remained under the jurisdiction of the Central Guard, but the various armies that were originally scattered were organized more systematically, and the combat effectiveness of the army was greatly enhanced.

Later, Li Yuan changed Yang Guang's Ying Yang Lang to be the hussar general, and Ying Yang Vice Lang to be the chariot general, and the original Ying Yang Mansion naturally became the Hussar Riding House.

The army has a workshop, and the owner is one person to check the household registration, work diligently on agriculture and mulberry, and ensure the effective operation of the government and military system.

Through a series of restructurings, Datang's war potential has been improved a lot, and it has quickly become operational, supporting the war in Hedong, Central Plains and other places.

At the beginning, when Liu Wuzhou's army was unscrupulous in the east of the river, the prefectures and counties in the east of the river were plundered, there was no granary, and the people were afraid of intrusion and lived in the castle.

Li Yin had no choice but to issue a royal decree to the people, Li Yin's prestige in Hedong was unmatched, and the people heard that he led the army to come, all of them came to Shun, from near and far, the number of people who came increased day by day, and then the Tang army gradually collected grain, and the army was therefore sufficient.

In the past few months when Li Yin was in Baibi, he did not do nothing, although the army was strong and did not fight, the generals of the non-main force found a gap to go around and plunder Song Jingang's various materials, so Song Jingang's military strength began to decline.

The autumn breeze is cool, the geese have begun to fly south, and above the sky, there is a loud and distant birdsong from time to time.

The gate of the Tang army camp was opened, and Li Yin left the camp with thousands of light cavalry, and he wanted to personally lead the light cavalry to reconnoiter the enemy.

As the commander of the first army, for safety reasons, he naturally couldn't go to reconnoiter in person, but Li Yinyi was bold and thought about it for a long time, so he was occasionally willful, and he personally took the light cavalry out of the camp without listening to the persuasion of the generals.

After advancing to a certain location, the cavalry of the retinue scattered in all directions to reconnoitre, and Li Yin was only escorted by an armored soldier to climb the hill and look at the surrounding environment.

After a while, Li Yin was a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes on the hill and rested for a while, waiting for the cavalry that had scattered around to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

The armorer was originally guarding him, but after a while, he also took a nap, and finally lay down on the grass.

The danger then approached slowly, and a team of local scouts happened to find Li Yin, although they didn't know Li Yin's identity, but when they saw what he was wearing, they knew that his identity was extraordinary, so they quietly surrounded Li Yin and the armor soldier from all around.

Li Yin and the two were unaware at this time, if they were surrounded by the enemy, Li Yin's life was only afraid of rest, but at this time, it happened that the snake chased the mouse and touched the face of the soldier, and after the soldier woke up, he saw the enemy at a glance, so he hurriedly woke up Li Yin.

Li Yin and the two of them quickly mounted their horses together, and after running for more than a hundred steps, they were about to be caught up by the enemy.

At this extremely urgent moment, Li Yin's horse did not slow down, and suddenly turned sharply, and put the big feather arrow on the strong bow, and the "buzz" sounded, and the big feather arrow flew out, heading straight for the enemy's general.

I heard a miserable scream, and the big feather arrow passed through the heart of the general, and the general fell off his horse in an instant, and the enemy cavalry saw this, and immediately feared, and did not dare to continue the pursuit, and retreated one after another.

Soon after the enemy cavalry retreated, the reconnaissance light cavalry brought out by Li Yin also returned one after another, and Cheng Yanjin was also among them. ”

Li Yin waved his hand, "Some little thieves are just a few little thieves, not enough to worry about." ”

The situation just now can actually be described as extremely dangerous, Li Yin is afraid that if it spreads, if he wants to go out of the camp like he is now, Fang Xuanling, Song Zhengben and others are only afraid that they will be forced to die, so they pretend to be fine.

Cheng bit the golden eyeballs and rolled a few times, he had already guessed Li Yin's thoughts, he didn't understand it, and scolded loudly: "Those hairy thieves, they really ate the bear's heart and leopard guts, and they dared to disturb the general, if I let Lao Cheng touch it in the future, I have to teach them a good lesson!" ”

Li Yin nodded when he saw this, and secretly said that Cheng Cheng was really good at behaving. This is actually the reason why Li Yin went out of the military camp this time, and the generals did not bring it, but he took Cheng Cheng to bite the gold alone.

After gathering all the people, Li Yin led the people back to the barracks quickly, he was really afraid that those who were temporarily scared away by him would return again, which would not be good.

Li Yin's worry was not unreasonable, not long after he left here, the local lord Song Jingang personally brought a large group of people there, and when he saw that Li Yin had left, his expression was extremely remorseful.

It turned out that after those who besieged Li Yin returned to the camp, they explained what had happened to Song Jingang, and under Song Jingang's careful questioning, he felt that the person described by the cavalry was very similar to his rival Li Yin, so he immediately ordered all the men and horses to kill him, but unfortunately he pounced.

After Song Jingang returned to the barracks, he immediately found a painter to paint Li Yin's portrait and spread it throughout the army, so as not to lose the great opportunity to kill Li Yin in vain as he did not long ago.

After Li Yin returned to the barracks, he continued to calmly plan a strategy to deal with Liu Wuzhou.

To deal with Liu Wuzhou, Li Yin also has a killer weapon, Yanmen Pass is still in Li Yin's hands, Zhou An is on Yanmen Pass, garrisoning more than 10,000 people, threatening Liu Wuzhou's rear at all times, and north of Yanmen Pass, there are also forces that are friendly with Li Yin such as the Tabu tribe, which also have a force that should not be underestimated.

When Liu Wuzhou was preparing to invade the south, he had thought about the threat of Yanmen Pass, but he had no choice but that Yanmen Pass was not only the Xiongguan Pass in the world, but also the place where Li Yin had been operating for many years.

Therefore, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's initial plan was to besiege Yanmen Pass after occupying all the land in Hedong, so that it would run out of ammunition and food, and it would not be self-defeating, but as soon as Li Yin came out of Tongguan, the situation in Hedong began to reverse, so that the problem of Yanmen Pass was still not solved.

Of course, Liu Wuzhou would not let Yanmen Pass go unattended and let it intrude on the rear. Liu Wuzhou has now sent Huang Ziying, the general who had defeated Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen's reinforcements at the Bird Mouse Valley a few months ago, to lead 30,000 troops and garrison troops near Gouzhu Mountain to monitor every move at Yanmen Pass.

In addition, in order to prevent the tribes north of Yanmen Pass from responding to Li Yin, Liu Wuzhou sent several envoys to the Turks to ask for assistance.

However, despite these countermeasures, at this time, with Li Yin's order, the cavalry of Yanmen Pass and the Tabubu tribe were still able to find a gap to attack, and the invasion of various places had a great impact on the territory controlled by Liu Wuzhou, but it was not so unscrupulous.
