After Zheng Guo's three envoys sent him away, Li Chongjiu also decided to lead his army to the north.
From Youzhou, to the Yellow River, to the destruction of Xia, Xu Liangliang, this great battle, from mid-August to mid-November, lasted for more than three months. The 120,000 Zhao army went south, fought away from their hometown for so long, and traveled thousands of miles, the hardships of attacking the city and pulling out the village, and the reduction of the troops of each department was not a few, so it can really be said that the veterans of the division are tired.
Even if there is no Turkic danger in Youjing, if at this time, Li Chongjiu reluctantly crosses the Yellow River to fight Li Tang, I am afraid the chance of victory is not great.
Wang Shichong is a traitorous character, and he fought several battles with Li Mi, all of which ended in fiasco, but he still persevered until the moment when he turned defeat into victory, which shows the tenacity of this person's heart.
In history, Wang Shichong insisted on Luoyang, refused Li Shimin for half a year, Li Shimin in order to attack the strong Luoyang palace city, mobilized a weight of 50 catties, threw 200 steps of cannon flying stones, arrows such as car spokes, arrows such as giant axes, shooting 500 steps and eight bows, the result should be that the city was not broken, the Tang army generals saw that they could not break the city and pleaded with Li Shimin for the class, but Li Shimin did not allow it.
In this time and space, although history is no longer following the original trajectory, it is expected that Wang Shichong's appearance should not be so bad.
Li Chongjiu made the decision to return to Youjing, but he did not relax his arrangements for Hebei.
After the Battle of Qinshui, nearly 10,000 Yu Wenhua and the remnants surrendered, and after the Yongnian City was broken, the Xia army under the city also surrendered more than 10,000.
The remnants of Yu Wenhua are the elite built on the foundation of the Xiaoguo Army. Because after the 300,000 elite government troops were submerged in Liaodong, Emperor Yang of Sui recruited brave men in order to conquer Liaodong for the second time. Equipped to the standards of the Forbidden Army.
During the change in Jiangdu, Yang Guang took refuge in Jiangdu with more than 100,000 Xiaoguo troops. But most of the Xiaoguo soldiers are from Guanzhong and are homesick. Under the rebellion of Yu Wenhua, he mutinied and killed the king.
Houyu Culture and led 100,000 Xiaoguo troops to the north and fought with Li Mi in Tongshan. In this battle, hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops were almost defeated, and Li Mi himself was wounded, but in the end, Yu Wenhua and Ying did not capture Liyang Cang, and the guide ran out of food, and the Xiaoguo army collapsed on its own.
Of the 100,000 Xiaoguo troops who were driven by Jiangdu at the beginning, only 20,000 people fled to Wei County with Yu Wenhua. And the Wagang army was also hit hard after this battle, and the strong soldier Liang Ma died, and then Li Mi hurriedly faced Wang Shichong. As a result, the army was defeated, leading to the destruction of the Wagang army.
Since ancient times, Hebei people have taken their father's party as their clan, and large clans abound, so they are extremely close to their relatives. Liu Heimin's Xia army was mostly his fellow villagers in Hebei, and he had extremely strong combat effectiveness against foreign enemies. Zhao Jun has also suffered a lot in his hands.
Li Chongjiu ordered Xu Shiji to lead 10,000 Zhao troops to garrison in Zhaozhou, and the generals were Xiaoguo troops. The Xia army eliminated its old and weak, selected the elite, and incorporated 10,000 into the army. The Xia army demoted the general Cheng Mingzhen, and Su Dingfang assisted him. The department was reorganized into a government soldier.
In addition to Wang Mahan's 10,000 Zhao troops stationed in Wei County.
For the four major generals under Liu Heimin, Li Wenxiang. Li Deyi, Zhuge Dewei, Wang Xiaohu, and Li Chongjiu were relieved of the post of head of the march of the four, and Li Wenxiang was the county guard of Wuyang County, and all the 3,000 men and horses in the department were reorganized into township soldiers.
Li Deyi was the county guard of Bohai County, Zhuge Dewei was the county guard of Pingyuan County, Wang Xiaohu was the county governor of Qinghe County, and all the troops were also organized into township soldiers, as the force of Zhao Jun guarding the Yellow River, monitoring the Tang and Zheng battles in Henan.
And Wang Bo, who announced the return of Qi County to Zhao, also sent an envoy to visit Li Chongjiu yesterday to congratulate Li Chongjiu on breaking Xu and Xia and sweeping Hebei. Different from the purpose of the envoy of Xu Guo, Wang Bo's envoy asked Li Chongjiu for a reward very bluntly, that is, the benefit of this surrender.
Li Chongjiu immediately named Wang Bo as the Marquis of Zouping, and the county guard of Gaqi County, of course, for Wang Bo to lose the grass on the wall of a place, Li Chongjiu was too lazy to even give a penny. However, the face was still sufficient, and at the same time, Li Chongjiu sent envoys to such as Xu Yuanlang, Meng Rang, and Qi Gongshun, so that the princes of Shandong hoped that they could return to Zhao in accordance with the general trend.
After doing this, Li Chongjiu ordered 20,000 grassland cavalry to rush to Yanmen and Shanggu from the 6th Road, while the general Qin Qiong led 1,000 cavalry and three Zheng envoys to Liyang, crossed the Yellow River from Liyang, and rushed to the Tiger Prison through White Horse City.
As for Li Chongjiu himself, he led more than 50,000 Zhao troops on this southern expedition, boarded a ship in Daimyo, and prepared to return to Youjing from the Yongji Canal to the north.
At the Daimyo Wharf, thousands of sails are like clouds, and the triumphant Zhao soldiers board the ship from the pier.
Li Chongjiu stood on the shore, and the new Wuyang County Warden Li Wenxiang, Qinghe County Warden Cui Junsu, and Qinghe County Governor Wang Xiaohu all came to see each other off.
Qinghe County is the county of Qinghe Cui's county, although Qinghe Cui's has been in the world, but there are still big houses, small houses, Qingzhou houses, and the children of the Cui family of the South Ancestral House, who are in Qinghe. Among the more than 20 counties in Hebei, Qinghe County has the largest population and the widest number of households, with as many as 300,000 households at its peak, which is nearly three times that of Zhuo County.
At present, Li Chongjiu let Cui Junsu, who was born in the Cui clan of Qinghe, be the pastor of Qingzhou County, and he also has the intention of wooing and appeasing the Cui clan of Qingzhou, and then borrowing the power of the Cui clan of Qinghe to appease all forces in Qinghe County, after all, for Li Chongjiu now, he has just captured Hebei, and the foundation is too thin, and he must be gentle with the local heroes to avoid rebound.
And the children of the Qinghe Cui clan, who have always been arrogant, can come to the daimyo to send Li Chongjiu back to Youjing, in addition to expressing the Xie accident of the Qinghe Cui clan, there is another layer of intention. Cui Junsu immediately recommended several heroes in the clan to Li Chongjiu, and Li Chongjiu knew it in his heart, so he immediately worshiped them one by one and transferred them to Youjing for hiring.
When it was time to get on the ship, Li Wenxiang was late, and Li Chongjiu knew that there must be a reason, so he asked, "Why is Li Gong delayed?" ”
Li Wenxiang said to Li Chongjiu: "I have come to offer a generous gift to King Zhao. ”
After saying that, Li Wenxiang made a move, and then dozens of people were tied up by Wuhuada, and these people were young and strong, both men and women, old and young. Li Wenxiang pointed at these people and said: "They are the remnants of Dou Jiande, secretly hidden in the people, secretly building weapons, these people are my subordinates, and they are specially captured and presented to King Zhao for disposal." ”
Li Chongjiu walked closer when he heard this, but saw a woman glaring at him, but her face was a little familiar.
Li Chongjiu said to the soldier beside him: "Take out the linen cloth from this woman's mouth." ”
After saying that, the woman took out the sackcloth from her mouth, and Li Chongjiu asked, "Could it be an old man?" ”
The woman sneered and said, "I didn't expect King Zhao to know me." ”
"Dou Linniang." Listening to his voice, Li Chongjiu suddenly realized.
Li Wenxiang was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "It's actually Dou Jiande's daughter." "His subordinates didn't notice for a while, and actually let these big fish mix with a group of small fish and shrimp.
Dou Xianniang looked up to the sky and said: "King Zhao, today I fall into your hands, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”
Li Chongjiu waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not need to be nervous, and said at the moment: "The Xia Kingdom has been destroyed, and this land of Hebei belongs to Zhao You, why do you want to do something to block the car with your mantis arm?" ”
Dou Xianniang said: "This Hebei was originally my Dou family......"
"Wrong, your Hebei originally belonged to the Great Sui," Li Chongjiu said categorically, "Now that the Great Sui is falling, the heroes are rising together, no one is first or the other, and the Mandate of Heaven is alone, and the defeat of Dou Gong to me is just a defeat of the king." ”
Dou Xianniang said: "What a king and a loser, now you are the king, my father and I are the king, you can say whatever you like." ”
Li Chongjiu said: "How can I block the mouth of the world, it is a waste of tongue to talk to you, Xue Shilang." ”
"No." Xue Wanshu stepped forward.
"What should we do with these people?"
Xue Wan said: "Right now, these people are the remnants of the Xia Kingdom, but they are not in trouble, they can be exempted from capital crimes, and they can be sentenced to 3,000 miles." ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "It's okay, Dou Xianniang and my father's grievances and grievances are all in the past, Dou Gong is now the Marquis of Le Shou, and he spends his old age in Yuyi Town, and I have pardoned my mother Cao's family, why not pardon you more." Right now, let you go to Yuyi Town, the family will be reunited, as for the others, they will all go to Liaodong for three years, and they can return to their original hometown after five years. ”
Dou Xianniang was stunned when she heard this.
"The king can sail."
Li Chongjiu nodded and stepped forward.
"Zhao ......" Dou Xianniang wanted to speak, but when the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, she saw that Li Chongjiu had boarded Zhao Jun's warship without looking back.
On the side, Sergeant Zhao stepped forward to untie the ropes of Dou Xianniang and his subordinates, and Li Chongjiu, who was in the cabin, watched this scene. Xue Wanshu said to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, why don't you know that you and Dou Jiande's daughter have met?" ”
Li Chongjiu said: "At that time, Gu had not yet entered Youjing, as if she met it when she was in Feihu County, in the castle of Zhao Wansan, the county guard of Shanggu County, at that time, she took a knife to kill us, and forced Zhao Wansan to surrender to Dou Jiande, this woman is strong enough, and she can be regarded as a little courageous." ”
Xue Wanshu heard Li Chongjiu say it so clearly, obviously he remembered the scene vividly, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Dou Jiande made a marriage contract for Luo Cheng and his daughter in order to win over Luo Cheng in order to win Zhuo County, but it seems that the day of Luo Cheng's death in battle has not come, and the two have not married, so this woman is still an unmarried woman, whether the king will send this woman to the palace to serve, or send it directly to the palace for placement, so as not to let the queen know." ”
Li Chongjiu turned his head when he heard this, looked at Xue Wanshu and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
The battleship was already anchored, the hull shook slightly, and the breeze on the river came, Li Chongjiu said lightly: "No need." ”
Xue Wanche misunderstood what he meant, in fact, Li Chongjiu just wanted to say that this woman's temperament just reminded him of Li Zhiwan a few years ago.
Many things are like the accumulation of sediment under the river, when the wind and waves are calm, lying quietly at the bottom of the river, and when the torrent surges, the sediment at the bottom of the river turns, which can't help but make him suddenly feel a little mixed.
Time has passed, Li Yuan back then, and now he is the master of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chongjiufang has completed the great cause of unifying Hebei today, and he feels that several years have passed in a blink of an eye, and when yesterday's events are recalled, they are still in front of him.
