Chapter 280: Li Jing, the God of War (Eight Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"What, will something happen in Lanzhou Mansion?" Who is Li Zhiwan, and immediately discovered the meaning of Du Ruhui's words, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Some jumping clowns are ready to take advantage of the fact that the Metropolitan Governor is leading the army to make a move on Lanzhou, but the subordinates and Master Pei have already arranged it, as long as they come, they will definitely kill these people, but we still lack a fierce general in our hands, only Brother Li can do it, so my subordinates have the cheekiness to ask Brother Li for help." Du Ruhui said without thinking. These things can't be hidden from Li Zhiwan, so he simply said it very simply, he believes that Li Zhiwan will have a choice.
"Okay, in that case, Mrs. Mu Xue and I will go to Master Pei's mansion." Li Zhiwan was shocked in her heart, but she didn't slack off, and said without thinking about it. She has no power to restrain the chicken, if she stays in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, it will not only make Du Ruhui send heavy troops to protect herself, but also become the target of the rebels, in this case, it is better to obey Du Ruhui's arrangement and go to Pei Shiju's mansion.
"Madame, rest assured, my subordinates have asked General Li Jing to quickly return to the city to defend, and I believe that Madame will return to the Dadu Governor's Mansion soon." Du Ruhui said with relief.
"That's very good." Li Zhiwan nodded, and quickly asked someone to pack up the important things in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and then asked someone to pick up Yao Muxue outside the city, and let her also go to Pei Shiju's mansion.
On February 9, the 11th year of the Great Cause, Liangzhou Yingyang Sima Li Liang raised troops in Liangzhou, he ordered people to spread the northwest, count Li Xin's ten major crimes, and raise troops, spread it to the entire northwest, and ordered people of insight in the northwest to oppose Li Xin together. Li Liang is very prestigious in Liangzhou, and in a moment, he gathered tens of thousands of people to sit in Liangzhou, and instantly cut off the passage between Lanzhou and the Western Regions, and the entire northwest shook, and Lanzhou City was shocked three times a day. Ethnic minorities such as the Qiang and Tuyuhun people under the rule of the Western Regions Protectorate have shown signs of instability.
"General, isn't it time to send troops to Liangzhou? If Liangzhou is not recovered, the grain route of the Metropolitan Governor will be cut off. In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zong Luohu looked at Li Jing with some worry, Li Jing's eyes seemed to be open and closed, but only a fine light flickered, between opening and closing, there was a trace of majesty, and the generals in the big tent did not dare to speak.
"Although we have a lot of soldiers and horses in our hands, most of them are mercenaries, and some of these people are Tuguhun. Or the Qiang people, we are now using such soldiers and horses to attack Liangzhou, do you think there is a possibility of victory? Li Jing's face was gloomy and he said in a low voice.
Zong Luohu and the others were silent, many of the mercenaries formed by Li Xin were ethnic minorities in the northwest, and now the Qiang and Tuyuhun and other ethnic groups have a tendency to be unstable, and some people even said that Li Liang and the Tuyuhun people have a very good relationship, it is difficult to imagine. When the army was attacking Liangzhou, the Tuyuhun people were doing it behind their backs, and the army would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"What does the general mean?" Zong Luohu looked at Li Jing and said.
"How many soldiers and horses do we really have?" Li Jing thought about it carefully and said, "It's only 10,000 people." This is the person we really rely on, and we will use these 10,000 cavalry to solve the Liangzhou problem. Go, disband all the mercenaries they use, and let them go home. Even if we can't let them fight with us, we can't exterminate their tribe without their knowledge. ”
"General. In fact, although there are Tuyuhun people who participate in our mercenaries, there are many of our people among these Tuyuhun people, and there are also people who oppose us, and those who really oppose us will not join our mercenaries, and those who support us will definitely support us in exterminating Liangzhou and those Tuyuhun people. Zong Luohu thought for a while and said.
"You're right." Li Jing was very happy to hear this, and said, "That's why we put them back, do you understand?" ”
Zong Luohu's face was stunned, he participated in the Suiying Military Academy, although he learned some things, but he was still far from Li Jing's military level, I don't know why Li Jing did this, and I don't know what to do for a while.
"Our enemy is not outside, but inside." Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Tell the brothers below, our enemy is Liangzhou Li Rail, and the next stop is to deal with Liangzhou Li Rail." In addition, the imperial court already knew the news of Li Rail's rebellion, and had already sent the general Qu Tutong to lead an army of 50,000 to Lanzhou, which was only ten days away from Lanzhou. ”
"Reinforcements from the imperial court are about to arrive?" Zong Luohu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a happy expression.
"Otherwise, why did General Ben ignore Lanzhou and deal with Li Liang in Liangzhou? After all, the Metropolitan Governor is the Metropolitan Governor valued by the imperial court, and the emperor trusts him very much, a Li Rail, the edict itself is a capital crime, not to mention that he still wants to rebel, which is already a big crime to destroy the nine clans. Li Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of majesty, and said: "Now there are many tribes in Tuyuhun and Qiang people who are unstable, go to tell those brothers, and let the respective patriarchs choose carefully after going back, don't be carried away by the victory and defeat for a while, this northwest is still the world of the Great Sui, a Li Rail can't change the general trend, once the army comes, it will be the end of the death of the clan." If any brother is willing to break away from the tribe, the general will ask the governor to establish his own tribe and give him the captives he has harvested after the great war, so that he can be his people. The herald Tuyuhun and Qiang people, all those who support the Dadu Governor will get pastures and subordinates, and those who dare to oppose our Great Sui rule will be killed and annihilated as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive. General Ben didn't mind raising his butcher's knife and slaying some enemies who dared to oppose the Grand Duke. ”
"Yes." Zong Luohu's body trembled, his face was a little pale, and he quickly withdrew from the big tent and followed Li Jing's side, but Zong Luohu knew Li Jing's style, although he was very benevolent on the surface, but once he did it, he was ruthless. Zong Luohu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said Li Jing's instructions.
?“ Ay! I don't know what the situation is in Lanzhou. Li Jing spread out the paper in front of him, wrote out his own practices and construction, and ordered someone to send it to Lanzhou quickly, according to the division of labor between him and Du Ruhui, he was responsible for exterminating Li Liang and presiding over the affairs of Liangzhou, but Lanzhou had Du Ruhui and Pei Shiju in charge, unlike Li Jing's army, Lanzhou did not have many soldiers and horses, which was what worried Li Jing.
And it's not the situation in Lanzhou, Li Jing's order, there was a sudden boiling in the tens of thousands of troops, the mercenary corps are all trained by Li Jing, the components are very complicated, some people are Han, some are Turks, as well as Tuyuhun, Qiang people, etc., some people are soldiers and horses of small tribes, because they can't survive, the elite of the tribe have joined Li Jing's army, exterminate bandits, escort trade routes, earn money, and support their families, these people listened to Li Jing's order, and chose to stay in Li Jing's camp without hesitation. Another part is different, these people are warriors in relatively large tribes, these people joined the mercenaries mainly because of Li Xin's orders, when Li Xin was stronger, these tribes had to send warriors to join Li Jing's army in order to integrate into Li Xin's rule, these people obeyed Li Jing's orders, but they also obeyed the call of the tribe. Now that Li Jing asked them to leave the army, these tribal warriors did not hesitate to leave the camp and return to their tribe.
"It's all a pack of white-eyed wolves. Hmph, one day, these people will definitely be killed. Zong Luohu roared loudly in the battle, tens of thousands of mercenaries, and 30,000 were left in two days, which made Zong Luohu very annoyed.
"Those who remain are the real elite of the army, rest assured, those who leave will regret it sooner or later." Li Jing said with a smile in the big tent. Regardless of whether these people were truly loyal to Li Xin, or whether they were located in the unwarranted imperial court reinforcements, Li Jing believed that these 30,000 people were the force that he swept through the northwest and helped Li Xin stabilize the northwest.
"Pass the order down, and send the troops to Lanzhou." Li Jing stood up violently and loudly announced his order.
"Brother Xue, this Li Jing is not small, he actually disbanded the Qiang and Tuyuhun people among the mercenaries, he thought that his 30,000 troops could deal with Li Liang?" In Xue Ju's huge mansion, Lanzhou Haoqiang such as Tao Xuan and others gathered together and laughed.
"He is not like this, in case there is a battle with Li Rail and others, someone makes trouble in the army, then he will definitely lose, in this case, it is better to temporarily disband the uncertain factors in the army and fight a decisive battle with Li Rail, after all, Li Rail's soldiers and horses have just been formed, although it is to defend the city, Li Jing attacked, and it was relatively easy for the liquid." Xue Ju said with some sighs: "I also have to admire Li Xin for this, and I don't know where to dig up the talents, just this moment, it shows that this Li Jing is probably not a simple person." ”
"No matter how powerful you are, you're no match for your father." Xue Rengao said disdainfully.
"Rengao, you can't say that, Li Jing's decisiveness is still admirable, Li Liang has met an opponent." Xue Ju had some complacency in his expression, looked around and said: "Everyone, I have suffered Li Xin in the northwest for a long time, especially in my Lanzhou, although Li Liang is very annoying, but he is the first to raise the banner of rebellion against Li Xin, I have countless heroes in Lanzhou, and I can't lag behind, what do you think?" ”
"Yes, look at the current Lanzhou, it's just that the people are not living, General Xue, when will you wait until Li Xin is not against Li Xin at this time?" Someone in the crowd suddenly said loudly.
"Now that Liangzhou is in rebellion, Li Xinyuan is in the Western Regions, the grain and grass are cut off, and the Turks and Tiele people are still facing it, if they come back, it is almost impossible, this is the best opportunity, General Xue, whether it is prestige or martial bravery, we are not as good as you, in this case, why don't you lead our Lanzhou people to fight against Li Xin together." Tao Xuan said loudly. The more he talked, the more excited he became, in the past, Li Xin held a large army, and everyone had to obey Li Xin's orders, now Li Xin is far away in the Western Regions, and there are only two or three thousand people in the entire city, including more than 1,000 people led by Xue Ju, there are no generals in the city, most of them are some civil officials, this is a real opportunity, how can you miss it.
