Chapter 0453: The Land of Three Rivers
Zhang Yue was secretly annoyed in his heart, Hao Tianying was so honest, he caught Li Guangrui and other prisoners and didn't know how to do it directly, and sent people back to the camp, which was a bit difficult to deal with. The www.biquge.info immediately followed Feng Shouxin to the front of the horse team, and his own soldiers stood guard on the side, surrounding a large number of fifty or sixty people.
Standing in the crowd, Lee Kuan-rui's face was as dead as ashes, his hands were tied behind his back with ox tendon ropes, and his feet were also implicated, barely able to walk. Lao Yuan saw a large group of officers surrounding a tall black-faced young general, and expected that this person's status was not low, so he took the initiative to stand up, bowed down and said: "Xia Suijie Town was enshrined by the court, and the five generations of the Li family fought for the court, and there was no merit and hard work. ”
It is rumored that the party members are so heroic, but this is not the case, Li Guangrui in front of him is burly, with slender cheeks, slightly different from the cake face and wide forehead and thick lips of the Hehuang Qiang people, with a high nose and deep eyes, a wide mouth and thin lips.
Zhang Yue sneered when he heard this, he didn't want to pay attention to it at all, turned his head to look at Feng Shouxin, and asked in a low voice, "Is this Li Guangrui?" ”
"Exactly!" Feng Shouxin nodded, he didn't know what Zhang Yue would do, and a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"All the Li family members were dragged out, verified their bodies, beheaded on the spot, pickled and dressed, and brought back to the camp with the rest of the children!" Zhang Yue simply threw down a sentence and turned around and left, just a group of dead fish, why bother talking nonsense.
As soon as Zhang Yue walked away and stepped on the war horse, he saw Yang Xuanli, who had gone to search the ruins of the city, come over with his own soldiers, so he dismounted and waited, he was also very curious, there must be tens of thousands of people alive in the city, but he didn't know what it looked like, so he beckoned Yang Xuanli to come and talk back.
"Report! The city is ...... now," Yang Xuanli shouted in a loud voice.
"Silly bird! whispered...... "There are still a lot of captives over there, some of them still have to be kept to appease people's hearts, and it is impossible for nearly 100,000 party members in the eight departments to be killed, so many things can only be done in secret, and they can't be publicized everywhere, so Zhang Yue hurriedly stopped them."
“。。。。。” Although Yang Xuanli is a rough man, he has been with Zhang Yue for a long time and knows a lot of officialdom, so he whispered back: "It is said that there were more than 10,000 defenders on duty at the head of the city last night, many of them did not see anyone, they did not see the corpses of the dead, the city tower and the corner tower of the four corners of the pier and platform were all collapsed, and when I looked at the tiles, I saw that there was a nest of dead people at the bottom, all of them were bleeding from the seven orifices, and it was scary to see it...... There were more than 30,000 inhabitants and young soldiers in the city, and they were not spared near the city walls, but the part in the center of the city was alive, and they were scurrying everywhere at dawn, and they had to hurry over to clean up. ”
Zhang Yue nodded, now that the guest army has been sent away by him, there are some dark and tiring jobs left, except for his own people, there are no other town soldiers to deploy. At that moment, Yang Xuanli was asked to return to the camp to give an order, ordering the 15,000 infantry of the Changyi Army and the Hexi Army to enter the city to search and rescue, clean up the battlefield, and collect the booty.
Zhang Yue immediately returned to the camp with Feng Qianhou, Xuan Chongwen and other generals, and happened to receive a military report from Shi Yanchao, Li Duofu, Bian Ji and other generals: it was said that he had joined forces with Zhang Duo of Yanzhou in Funing, Yinzhou, and after going north to capture Confucianism in Yinzhou, Yang Chongxun of Linzhou also took advantage of the weakness to go south and captured the two counties of Kaiguang and Zhenxiang in Yinzhou.
"When the war started last year, Zhang Duo couldn't stay, Wang Yanchao was defeated, Yanzhou Hongliuyuan battled, Zhang Duo sent troops faster than anyone else, seeing that the war was about to end, Yang Chongxun came to mix again, nothing more than wanting to pocket Yinzhou...... "The military newspaper only talks about business, and Xuan Chongwen can also speculate a lot of things behind it through these words, and said with a sneer.
"It's stupid not to pick up the cheap, and it's a good thing that everyone can make a fortune together! In the future, if anyone finds a reason for this, there will be many people to carry it! Feng Qianhou said with a smile like an old fox.
"This piece of Kanbei is a fertile land, we can raise horses, we can boil salt, we have worked hard to fight down, and we will never be able to return to others!" Xuan Jingcheng also spoke.
Zhang Yue was immersed in writing a book, replied to Shi Yanchao, and ordered Yang Chongxun of Linzhou to return to the town to listen to the dispatch of Zhe Deran, and cut off the road to the north of the Liao army. Ordered Shi Yanchao's troops to be stationed on the spot, clean up the mess as soon as possible, and complete the aftermath. Listening to the discussion of a few people, he put down the brush, raised his head and said: "Of course, I thought, in this battle, a few officers should be able to move to the state." ”
"Which ones? Why don't I transfer it too? Zong Jingcheng smiled and probed, except for the town army and his family, Shanzhou was full of Tibetan tribes, and he really didn't want to stay in that desolate place.
"Go while it's cool! You have to know your heavy responsibility......" Zhang Yue said angrily, there are iron ores in Shanzhou's Thirsty Donkey Ridge and Bayan Mountain, with low content and high purity, much better than Huizhou iron ore, and the quality of the cold-forged armor created by the sub-workshop is more tough.
Zong Jingcheng smiled when he heard this, so he had to shut up. Zhang Yue actually had a candidate before the war, and planned to exchange opinions with Feng Qianhou, and said: "Even with Hehuang's military exploits, Shen Nianban should also move to a state, and this time he can't be left behind." Su Lun Ah Bo made a great contribution, and just happened to change the general of the Baiting Army. ”
"Hmm...... OK! And what's more! Feng Qianhou nodded, Shen Nian's scattered officials were all crowned to General Zuo Shenwu, and he had a strong influence in Liangzhou, so it was no problem to transfer to Guanbei to Zhangjie Town. As for Su Lun's bowl, Bai Tinghai's vast fertile pasture could not be given to him, and he had to move the Liangzhou town army over.
"Shuofang Li Shi asked Yunwen Yunwu, you can know a state. Fold the family and fold Deyuan, Yang Jiayang retraining, these two local snakes must be transferred out, and Bian Ji and Du Yanhui will be transferred to Lin and Fu Prefectures, and the candidates for the festival commander will be ...... We won't recommend it. "What Zhang Yue wants is practical interests, this territory has a huge military strategic position, no matter who is used as the commander in the end, the following states are in their own hands.
Several people quickly agreed that Zhang Yue would write a military report and hand it over to Li Duoshou together with the heads of the fifty-six members of the Li family, and let him escort him to Tokyo as soon as possible.
At noon on this day, Hao Tianying led 7,000 cavalry to follow Yelu Xiuge more than 12,000 cavalry to Jingde, which coincided with the Shuofang army Li Shiwen and Xue Chucun led 7,000 troops to capture Jingde, and heard that the Liao army went north, and led the troops to line up in the southeast of the city to fight, and the Liao army had to go east more than 20 miles to continue northward without stopping.
Half an hour later, Hao Tianying led his troops to catch up, let Xue Chucun lead 3,000 horse troops to follow, and chased to the Yulin River outside the old Great Wall of Yinzhou that afternoon.
Although he had chased one hundred and fifty or sixty miles that day, and was so tired that he was about to vomit blood, Hao Tianying still led his troops as soon as he arrived, and then launched a charge. At this time, the Liao army brigade basically crossed the river, and Yerusha was about to leave, so he had no choice but to turn back to face the battle, and was defeated by Hao Tianying, and fled north into the Gobi Desert with less than a thousand horsemen along the west bank of the Yulin River.
Hao Tianying cleaned up the battlefield, camped here that night, and went north along the Great Wall the next day, arriving at the Balwei River at the junction of Yinzhou and Linzhou, and saw that the company camped on the east bank of the river for more than ten miles, and there were 30,000 or 40,000 troops stationed.
Hao Tianying did not dare to easily invite the battle, led his troops to camp across the river, sent people over the mountains of the old Great Wall, took a detour to Linzhou to ask for support for grain and grass, and agreed to flank the Liao army. Unexpectedly, the next day, the Liao army took the initiative to pull out the camp and go north, so Hao Tianying sent a fast horse to the south to fly to the camp and led the troops to continue to follow.
Because this is Zhang Yue's military order requirements, let him follow all the way to the south bank of the Yellow River, by the way to take Shengzhou, and Fengzhou Jiuyuan can not let go, this is the place of the Hetao, and a large piece in the middle of the Yellow River zigzag bay is called the middle set, since ancient times it is to defend the north of the Hu south, or the north to attack Yinshan, attack the west of the front set of Hexi, and the back set of Yanmen, Daibei area of the military stronghold.
Zhang Yue received Hao Tianying's express report, looked for a large military map, and found that unconsciously, the three rivers of Hehuang, Hexi and Hetao were almost inextricably linked with him, and the power of Jiezhen Junzhou had spread throughout the entire northwest Xinjiang.
However, he is not satisfied with the status quo, he needs to find a suitable time to integrate his strength based on Huizhou, but it is obviously not the time now. The suggestion to set up a strategic envoy has already made Fan Zhen and others aware of it and began to be afraid.
In fact, the emperor did not agree with it, and only ordered the establishment of Songpan, but Zhang Jianxiong never met Zhang Yue's requirements for the establishment of five divisions and the separation of powers. In order to realize his ambitions and change the destiny of this nation, with his current strong strength, Zhang Yue still feels that he has a long way to go and is struggling step by step.
After several days of cleaning by more than 10,000 soldiers, and then blasting, the city was completely razed to the ground. And the Tuoba clan Qiang Department does not exist one out of ten, and the rest of the small clans are scattered in the counties under his rule, Zhang Yue sent people to send an order to pacify, and then sent troops to cut down big trees, and built a large military village that can garrison 20,000 soldiers at the confluence of Wushui and Wuding River.
Although the appearance of gunpowder has greatly reduced the defense of the city, it is better than nothing, and in this era, even small local villages have to build a wall, and it is too unrealistic to have no city, and the common people will not settle down with peace of mind.
The aftermath is still very troublesome, and the first thing to do is to withdraw the troops, otherwise the 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers will be able to completely empty the grain in the pass. Yinsui was handed over to Shi Yanchao, the Zhangwu army began to withdraw troops in batches, and Li Duofu also led the Hexi army back to Liangzhou.
Wang Yanchao and Wang Jing also withdrew their troops one after another, and Zhang Yue had to share a part of the spoils counted in Tongwan City, and as for the soldiers in the towns under his command, there was never a shortage of rewards.
It was the end of February to complete these trivial matters, and the Liao army also retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River, because Shengzhou and Fengzhou were too far away, the grain and herbs were facing exhaustion, and the inconvenience of transportation had been urgent, so they had to be handed over to Fuzhou Zhederan, and Hao Tianying also led his troops back to the Hongliuhe camp.
On the first day of the first month of March, Guanzhong Song Dequan escorted the last batch of military rations to the Yongxing Military Government and his own Huihe Commercial Bank, and Zhang Yue had no choice but to send away Xuan Chongwen, Shi Deyuan, Zong Jingcheng, Quan Daojin, Xue Wenqian, Hao Tianying and other generals and commanders of the town, leaving only the Changyi Jiedu Hou Zhang and his 10,000 horses temporarily garrisoned, and the strength of the Jiezhen was restored before it could be withdrawn.
