Chapter 166 Li Han's rebellion, Hedong is in danger

Although Li Keyong has besieged Luoyang for nearly half a month, he has no choice but to defend Henan Yin Zhang Quanyi effectively, although Luoyang City is dilapidated, but in the end, it is the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, the foundation is still there, and there are still 20,000 troops and enough food in it. By the time Zhu Wen came, Li Keyong had not yet captured Luoyang.

Li Keyong turned to Zhu Wen to be unlucky, in Li Keyong's opinion, defeating Zhu Wen, Luoyang will not be arrogant for long. Therefore, Li Keyong personally led his troops to fight with Zhu Wen in the field, but Zhu Wen was easy to deal with there, and ordered Ding Hui to lead the cavalry to sneak attack. In the fierce battle, it once approached a distance of less than three zhang to Li Keyong's side, causing chaos in the Hedong army. Although Li Keyong finally stabilized his position, he was already defeated, so he had no choice but to retreat to Mengjin Ferry, and retreated to Heyang the next day.

At this time, Heyang and Huaizhou, opposite Luoyang, had fallen into the hands of Li Keyong. Don't look at the hands that fell into the hands of Li Keyong, it was just a little bit of land. But their strategic location is very important.

It is equivalent to giving Li Keyong a springboard to attack Luoyang, and the most important thing is that Zhu Wen can attack from all sides, relying not only on his strong soldiers and horses. What is more important is to rely on Zhang Quanyi to work hard to provide him with food.

Zhang Quanyi recruited 60,000 displaced households in Luoyang to reclaim wasteland, so that there was no more wasteland in Luoyang. Moreover, Zhang Quanyi is a very good administrator, he knows that the family's wheat field is good, so he personally went to comfort and rewarded wine, meat and money. He also patrolled the fields himself, and if he found that there was no grass, he would reward him, and if he found weeds in the fields, he would punish them.

It not only greatly improved the positive surname of the peasants, but also made Luoyang's yield per mu reach one stone and two buckets, while the yield per mu of ordinary fields is only one stone, or even more than nine buckets. Of course, this is of course as fertile as the land of Luoyang, but Zhang Quanyi's role in persuading farmers still determines the existence of surnames.

Luoyang alone can get 7.16 million stone of grain every year. And one stone of grain can feed a strong soldier for twenty-five days! (250 grams of wheat per day) and these 7,160,000 stones are theoretically enough to support a million army to eat for 179 days! And Zhu Wen is three or four hundred thousand horses in his hands, so Zhang Quanyi is the strongest force behind Zhu Wen. Zhang Quanyi's Luoyang is abolished, and Zhu Wen will definitely have a food shortage.

(Zhang Quanyi provided grain according to 60,000 households with 100 acres of land per person, 1 stone 2 per mu of grain, and 30% of the grain was handed over.) ）

And Li Keyong doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to learn from Emperor Wen of Sui to attack Nan Chen. Every year, during the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, the 'big military parade' is held in Heyang, so Luoyang does not have to think about a bumper harvest, and it may be difficult for the peasants to support themselves. At that time, Zhu Wen didn't want to get food in Luoyang, I was afraid that in order to help the victims, he would have to throw food inside. And if Luoyang relaxes his guard, Li Keyong can capture Luoyang in one fell swoop, and Zhu Wen's form is even more unfavorable.

So Zhu Wen had to fight, and he couldn't stop fighting, if he couldn't capture Heyang, he wouldn't be at ease even if he slept. For this reason, he did not hesitate to send someone to bribe Luo Hongxin with a lot of money, and asked him to send troops to contain Li Keyong from the side.

But who is Li Keyong, Luo Hongxin honestly guards Weibo, and Li Keyong really has no other way. After all, Weibo is the home of Weibo soldiers, and in order to protect their families, the soldiers are particularly brave in fighting. As a result, the troops were not only disturbed by King Chengde, but also captured several small villages. was also defeated by Li Keyong and captured thousands of people. Zhu Wen has no choice, the Yellow River is a moat, no matter how brave Zhu Wen is, there is no way. The two sides are also deadlocked on the Yellow River.

Li Cunhuan opened his mouth and said, "Did Zhu Wen withdraw his troops?" ”

It's not that Li Cunhuan thinks Zhu Wen is weak, but that although Li Keyong is sometimes idiotic, it's all strategic, and in terms of tactics, Li Keyong is still very powerful. If nothing else, it's still possible to hold the Yellow River.

Guo Dazhong shook his head and said, "No! It was Li Ke who was defeated, and almost all of his face Luzhou was lost! ”

Luzhou is now Changzhi City, which is a very important strategic place. Luzhou itself is a plateau, the land is fertile and surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a perfect springboard, integrating logistics and danger, attacking and retreating. More importantly, the capture of Luzhou can threaten the towns on the outskirts of Taiyuan Province. Li Cunhuan couldn't imagine what Li Keyong had done to make people angry, otherwise he would have almost opened the door at the door of his house.

"Li Hanzhi betrayed Li Keyong! cut off the grain channel used by Li Ke behind his back, which led to the defeat of Li Keyong! Guo Dazhong explained.

Li Cunhuan frowned and said, "Tell me more details!" ”

The reason is this, Zhaoyi Jiedu made Kang Junli attack Huaizhou and Heyang because of his plan, and Li Keyong divided Huaizhou and Heyang into Kang Junli, and included Huaizhou and Heyang in Zhaoyi. And Li Hanzhi also has the title of Heyang Festival Envoy on his head. Li Hanzhi was not satisfied, and he asked Li Keyong to return the former jurisdiction of Heyang to him, and to divide Zezhou under his jurisdiction into the jurisdiction of Heyang. Guo Dazhong opened his mouth and said, paused, and continued: "But Li Keyong did not agree, but in order to appease Li Hanzhi, Li Hanzhi was crowned as the deputy envoy of Zhaoyi Festival." But with Kang Jun standing on his head, where did Li Hanzhi have any real power, that is, he got a false name. Li Hanzhi was even more angry, and he secretly contacted Zhu Wen. In May, Li Hanzhi raised a rebellion in Zezhou, behind Li Keyong, and cut off Li Keyong's grain route. was already in a period of scarcity, and Li Keyong did not have much grain and grass in the barracks. The result was only one day, and the morale of the army was in turmoil. Zhu Wen took advantage of the situation to cross the Yellow River, with no grain and grass inside, and no will to fight outside. No matter how powerful Li Ke is, he will be defeated. Zhu Wen took advantage of the situation to recover Heyang and Huaizhou. Li Hanzhi led his troops to attack Luzhou, but was met by Li Siyuan, who had just transported grain to Luzhou, and Li Siyuan calmly appeased the defeated soldiers, gathered men and horses to quickly drive Li Hanzhi, who had just claimed to be Zhaoyi in Luzhou, out of Luzhou, which was able to keep Luzhou. ”

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "Li Ke is not using people properly!" ”

Li Cunhuan did not mean to slander Li Keyong when he said this, and in the past, it was said that Li Cunxiao captured the three states of Xing, Ci, and Xu, that is, three of the five states under the jurisdiction of Zhaoyi Jiedu, and unified Zhaoyi. However, Li Keyong gave the name of Zhaoyi Jiedu Envoy to Li Cunxiao, who did not participate in the war, causing Li Cunhuan to be resentful, and finally embarked on the road of confrontation with Li Keyong.
