Xuan Chongwen looked at the sky-high fire that lit up the night sky in the city, pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "You guys go back to the camp to prepare, the whole army will start the siege with torches, and the horse army will also be sent out to explore the city, and no one can get away with it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info remember! Do not enter the city to attack without permission, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. ”

After more than half an hour, the whole army went out of the camp again, this time the city was very easy, the soldiers lit torches, carefully climbed the big wooden ladder, saw that the defenders of the city did not see a single person, not even a person to release arrows, almost rushed to the city head in one breath.

The next thing is simple, Xuan Chongwen went to the city with the army, stood at the head of the east city and held the wall battlements to look into the city, only to see that the north and west corners of the city were almost all on fire, and the southeast wind was blowing at night, and the fire was spreading from northeast to southwest.

In the blazing firelight, the shouts of killing continued, and the large groups of figures fought endlessly, and it was impossible to distinguish who they were. In order to avoid the fire from burning the city, the gatehouse, corner tower, arrow tower, watchtower and other civil buildings were ignited, Xuan Chongwen assigned troops to occupy the four city walls, and then led the troops to go down the city from the road with a group of two battalions, and started street battles separately, cleaned up and captured the rebels in the city, and extinguished the fire.

This chaotic battle lasted until dawn, half of the city's buildings were burned down, Shen Banruo, Shen Jialan and others were saved, but there were only eight or nine hundred soldiers left from the 10,000 tribes of the Liugu Tribe, and there was not one out of ten. Xuan Chongwen asked what the reason was, and the two of them had unkind faces and were gloomy like water, but they both wished to say more.

However, soon, Wang Tingxun's subordinates stationed in the west of the city came to report that last night he led a thousand horsemen out of the city to flee westward, and Wang Tingxun led his troops to pursue overnight, and there was no news back for the time being.

Xuan Chongwen sighed helplessly, led his troops to garrison the main roads in various blocks, and personally went to the west of the city to inspect, half of the city was a black ash wasteland, full of ruins and broken walls, and some of the beams and wooden pillars were still emitting smoke, emitting bursts of scorched smell.

"We are only afraid of trouble, why are we afraid of scorched earth? Today in the coming year, this place will be a prosperous and lively Xiongcheng again! Xuan Chongwen's face sank like water, and he looked up at the sky and sighed.

After breakfast, Xuan Chongwen sent someone to report to Guzang, ordered the whole army to rest for half a day, and in the afternoon he led the troops to clean up a mess in the west of the city, and made a list of the people, counting the surviving people in the city, only more than 30,000 people, mostly the old and weak, asking where Qingzhuang went, the old and the children just cried and cried.

Until the afternoon two days later, Wang Tingxun and Xue Keyan returned together. When Xuan Chongwen heard about it, he summoned the two to see them, and when he saw that the two of them looked tired, he asked, "Have you received the two military cities of Jiaocheng and Dadou?" How to arrange the aftermath? ”

"The troops have been assigned to garrison, and the clan soldiers of the Zhe Clan have been disarmed and have all been brought back, do you want to wait for the two marshals to deal with it, after all, it is a rebel!" Wang Tingxun said.

"Since ancient times, once a traitor is arrested, he will either be exiled or reduced to an official slave, which may have to wait for the will of the court! In addition, how could Shen Banruo's 10,000 soldiers be so small? Have you interrogated the captives? Xuan Chongwen still hasn't figured out what the infighting that night was about.

"Interrogated...... Know a little! Wang Tingxun looked at Xue Keyan, his face suddenly became weird, a little palpitating, and said fearfully: "Zhe Kui Jiashi died on the way back to Jialin Prefecture, and after Zhe Ge Zhi came back, his prestige was insufficient, and it was difficult to command the leaders of the clan, and he wanted to coerce Shen Banruo and Shen Jialan to lead troops to help defend the city, but the two of them refused to obey, and Zhe Ge Zhi quietly transferred their men out of the pit in batches, and when they found that the people did not come back after leaving the camp, there were less than 3,000 people left. ”

"Pitted?" Xuan Chongwen was shocked, his eyes were round, his face was full of incredulity, and he was speechless in a daze, thinking about it, he understood that Shen Panruo's uncle and nephew heard the drums of the siege of the city, and took the move of making amends, fighting to the death, which was also a blessing.

Wang Tingxun said with a sneering face: "It is suspected that the Gezhi fled into the Uighur military camp, and the last general followed the horse's hoof footprints to the western Dadou military city in Tianbao County, where the Uighur army was camped, and then looked westward, and there were no hoof prints on the road. ”

"Run, run, the phoenix is not as good as a chicken, what big waves can he make, let's hurry up and go back to Guzang." Xuan Chongwen comforted indifferently, in fact, he was a little worried in his heart, with such a vicious nature of Ge Zhi, there will be a big incident in the future, and Prince Luo is only afraid that he will take in a white-eyed wolf!

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The fast cavalry war report was sent to Guzang, and Zhang Yue summoned Shen Nianlike to explain euphemistically, Shen Nianyan was furious, and immediately went violently and said that he was going to Jialin Prefecture to pick up Shen Banruo, but Zhang Yue did not agree, if he went, something big might happen.

In the next few days, Zhang Yue discussed with Hou Zhang to arrange the aftermath, although Liangzhou was recovered, but what remained was a mess, and the young and strong farming population became smaller, and the streets of the city were everywhere, and groups of women, children and old people could be seen everywhere.

There is another type of people who are more numerous, and that is monks. These Tibetan monks believed in Buddhism during the Tibetan period, which was very different from Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains, and how to deal with it was also a problem. Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang made a little statistics, there are no less than thirty or forty Buddhist temples of all sizes in Liangzhou, among which the most famous are Haizang Temple, Lanruo Temple, Baita Temple and other ancient temples, and the number of monks in the big temple reaches two or three thousand, which is very terrifying.

In order to solve this problem, Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang had to send fast horses to pass orders everywhere, so that the abbots of the major temples went to Guzang to discuss, and released some young and strong disciples who were not familiar with the scriptures and righteousness to return to their hometowns to farm, for which they quarreled with the monks for two days, and finally the monks could not resist the pressure and unanimously agreed, and a total of 10,000 young men were released and handed over to the Liangzhou government for resettlement.

Zhang Yue is not interested in government affairs for the time being, but defense affairs are more concerned, how to say that it is also the territory of his main force, of course, part of the benefits, Hou Zhang also knows it.

Liangzhou has a vast area, but the current population is small, but the shelves must be erected first and set up as a high-class military state. After the two exchanged views, the original military horn was abolished, and a total of 17,500 people from the Seventh Army were set up, and the military cantonment model was adopted for self-sufficiency.

Shen Nian, on the careful leadership of the Wucheng Army, Cui Huxin, and Pan Luograd led the Tonggu Army in the early stage; Su Lun Abo and Shen Panruo led the Baiting Army, and on the basis of these three armies, four armies were set up. But Hou Zhang did not have a suitable officer in his hands, so he could only be transferred from the Shuofang Army, and Zhang Yue was also lowered.

Hou Chao and Zong Yansi were the chief and deputy envoys of the Hexi Jiedu Ya Army; Wang Tinghan and Zhou Jianzhang are the chief and deputy envoys of the Shenwu Army; These two armies defended the heart of Liangzhou Prefecture, and 5,000 soldiers were a little too much, and they needed to rely on military rations in the short term.

With Wen Chongle and Liu Shaoying as the chief and deputy envoys of the Tianbao Army, they were stationed in Tianbao County and the western border of Liangzhou. In the east, the Changsong Army is stationed in Changsong County, Baishanshu, and Heshu Military City, and Zhang Yue left the second regiment, with the regiment leader Li Duofu and the deputy regiment leader Song Lingguang as the chief and deputy envoys; Senator Ding Baosheng and Deputy Senator Yuan Shenming have their responsibilities unchanged, externally they can be called the Hexi Jiedu Changsong Army, and internally they are called the Zhenyuan Army Reinforcement Regiment.

The establishment of the defense army is still only a thing on paper, and it cannot be implemented in a year, and then it is the establishment of officials. Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang made up together and recommended Xuan Chongwen to serve as the deputy envoy of the Huizhou regiment, and the assassin of Liangzhou and the envoy of the Liangzhou regiment. The so-called photographing is to temporarily hold a position higher than the official.

Huizhou was already short of personnel, and the position of the assassin has not been transferred to the official, and many of the generals under his command can be promoted to the Xuanwu general from the fourth grade. Zhang Yue reported the battle exploits of senior generals, and recommended Wen Yuankai as the assassin of Huizhou and the envoy of the regiment, and Zong Jingcheng as the deputy envoy of the regimental training in Huizhou.

Normally speaking, the regimental training envoy is to lead the township soldiers, but Huizhou is a military state, and the state soldiers are township soldiers, and there is no separation for the time being. Otherwise, when going out on the expedition, it is not worth it to always leave half of the recruits to transport food in the rear, and the recruits will lose the opportunity to train on the battlefield.

Zong Jingcheng of the third regiment was transferred out, not part-time, with He Chenghui promoted to the head of the regiment, and Fu Zhaoji, the deputy envoy of the Ya, as the deputy, and officially transferred from the Ya to lead the troops, because Yang Xuanli was unwilling to get out of the army, and the deputy envoy was replaced by Erlang Zhang Cheng.

On March 15, Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang drew up a table and seal to go to Tokyo, waiting for the announcement of the DPRK and China. In order to reduce the logistical burden, Zhang Yue first led his troops back to the town, and Xuan Chongwen, Hou Chao, Zong Yansi and other generals who remained in Liangzhou accompanied him all the way to Baishan Shufang.

The generals returned victorious, and the road was elated, only Shi Deyuan was sullen, he was an old senior, and he was not much worse in terms of meritorious service, but no one recommended him as the assassin of Liangzhou. However, Zhang Yue was going to go back to let him know Jingzhou, but he didn't say anything.

After six days back to Huizhou Ulan, Zhang Yue did not stay, and there was nothing to see, the logistics grain and grass were stopped since the good news was sent to the Yongxing Army, and the ones on the road were sent to Liangzhou, and Ulan would not survive.

It was late March when he arrived in Huining, Zhang Yue remembered that his wife Yin Yin said goodbye when he went out, and he probably looked forward to going back for a long time, but he still had something to deal with in Huining, so he asked Fu Zhaoji and Erlang to go back to report the news first, so as not to wait.

The operation of iron ore mines, salt farms, horse farms, as well as cotton fields, cloth mills and other industries, I don't know how they have developed over the years, Zhang Yue has to go to see, especially iron mines, since this has been reported to the court, it is natural to call manpower to start mining, although the relevant functional department officials have not yet been in place.

Now that Liangzhou has been taken down, immigration will also begin, and Huizhou will say that it will not be able to intercept a part of the population, and the problem of insufficient labor resources will be solved at the same time.

The most troublesome thing is the administrative organs of prefectures and counties and festivals, which are useless in a large number of official positions, and some have to be divided into checks and balances, such as civil affairs and finance are two different things, household management, criminal procedure and law, these should be decentralized, but the corresponding official positions will increase.

Zhang Yue has the intention of carrying out reforms, but this simply touches the sensitive nerves of the court ministers, although the emperor is open-minded, but when it comes to the system, it may not be able to approve, and it is difficult to achieve the goal. (To be continued.) )
