Chapter 349: Li Jing Uses Soldiers
Du Ruhui and the others' faces changed after hearing this, and they admired Pei Shiju even more, this old thing is not ordinary vicious, in this way, although it will not be able to block the footsteps of Li Yuan and others, but if Li Yuan wants to kill the Yellow River smoothly, I am afraid it will take a certain amount of time.
"Chiaki, can you do this?" Li Xin looked at Shen Qianqiu in the depths of the darkness and said. This matter is very important, and it can't be done by Jinyiwei, Li Xin can only pin his hopes on Jinyiwei.
"His subordinates will certainly live up to the expectations of the Grand Governor." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.
"After going to Daxing, we will use the money to buy all the fishermen on the banks of the Yellow River and burn the boats as quickly as possible, and the longer we hold him back, the more opportunities we have." Li Xin instructed that forcibly burning it would only damage his reputation, and if he bought it with money, it would be different. The people's hearts are profitable, and only money can buy them off.
"My subordinates understand." Shen Qianqiu also had some confidence in his mission, it was certainly possible to burn the ship, but if it could be purchased with money, it would be more convenient.
"Lord Shen, remember that one is the most important thing to be the governor of the capital." Pei Shiju commanded in a low voice: "Although we are rich, but the Guan Long family is richer, although our side is prepared, we can't be sure if Li Yuan and they are also the best to prepare." Jinyiwei also had to monitor the officials and generals along the coast, whether these people were bribed by Li Yuan. The Guan Long family is pervasive and has been in business for decades, and those generals are more or less related to the Guan Long family. I believe that once Li Yuan's army reaches the edge of the Yellow River, there will definitely be ships to pick them up, remember, they must burn their ships. Other measures can be taken if necessary. ”
"I will tell the master of the Yin Dynasty to blockade the Yellow River, and all the ships will be burned, if they can't be burned. It is also necessary to change the generals, and the existing generals must not be allowed to remain on the banks of the Yellow River. At the end of Li Xin's speech, he could only sigh slightly, and said: "Master Pei, I'm afraid you need to talk about this matter, in the imperial court, I don't know how many people hate me?" ”
"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Acting King can trust the old man." Pei Shiju also smiled bitterly, Li Xin's discussion here was very good, but it was very difficult to realize Guanzhong, whether it was Li Xin or not. Or Pei Shiju, it is nothing in the court, one is a rising star, the other is a traitor, how can the acting king believe the two? What the two of them are doing their best now is just obeying the fate of heaven.
"Hmph, what if Li Yuan enters the Guanzhong? How could I, Li Xin, be afraid of him? Li Xin said indifferently. He is very confident in this point, on the one hand, he is a descendant, and Li Xin will definitely surpass Li Yuan in his generous strategy. Moreover, in terms of preparations, Li Xinyuan was above Li Yuan, and Li Yuan only began to prepare now, and most of his troops joined later. Or it is the income of the bandits, but there are very few that really belong to him, but Li Xin is different, the army of 100,000 has been on the battlefield for a long time. has rich experience, and Li Xin's generals such as Li Jing, Pei Renji and others are all veterans of the battlefield, and Li Jing is a famous commander in the history of the Celestial Empire. As for Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang and others, they are all fierce generals. Li Yuan did not have such a talent under his command, so Li Xin believed that he might be able to defeat Li Yuan in the future, and the only thing he was afraid of was that the Guan Long family would stab him in the back.
Not to mention that Li Xin dispatched troops here, ready to meet the Turks, the time entered the thirteenth year of the great cause, the New Year has just passed, the entire northwest has fallen into the atmosphere of war, Li Xin once again issued a conscription order, this time it is aimed at the foreign races in the territory, the Qiang people, Tuyuhun and other ethnic minorities are in the list of being conscripted, a cart of money, silk and salt have been pulled out of the treasury, to the tribes of the tents, under the heavy profits, 60,000 elite troops quickly gathered under the command of Li Jing, ready to meet the Turks.
Of course, this incident is not shocking to the world, what is really shocking is that someone is king. Dou Jiande, who completely occupied the land of Hebei, finally called the king, Dou Jiande, who was born as a farmer, set up an altar at the junction of Hejian and Leshou counties to hold a ceremony, and called himself the king of Changle.
Dou Jiande's influence on becoming the king is still quite large, because it shows that a regime was born in the henchmen of the Great Sui and began a real battle against the Great Sui. gave other anti-king confidence, and for a time there were countless people who called the king the emperor. Soon after Dou Jiande became king, Xu Yuanlang of Lu County rebelled, captured Dongping, occupied Lu County, Lang Xie and other places, and there were more than 20,000 people; In the place where Li Xin once fought in Zhuo County, the Sui general Luo Yi claimed to be the governor of Youzhou according to the county seat, and raised troops against the Sui. I don't know how many things like this and so on, so to speak, the whole Great Sui is like a nest of porridge.
Of course, this qiē is not in Li Xin's consideration, and today, except for Li Yuan, no one else is taken to his heart. At present, the most critical place in Liangzhou is to resist the attack of the Turks. The Turkic iron cavalry was still quite strong in this era, which also made it very difficult for Li Xin to defend, simply because there were many desert areas between Liangzhou and the Turks, and it was very difficult to march in the desert at this time, not only because of the supply problem, but also because of the direction, and the Turks could only attack Zhangye County, Dunhuang County and Yiwu County. Among these three counties, the Dunhuang army is located in the center, Zhangye County is located in the north of the Qilian Mountains, and the Turks have a little desert area, the possibility of the enemy attacking is very high, Yiwu County is very close to the Luoman Mountain, at this time, the Western Turks are competing with the Tiele people, and Shibi Khan has no intention of helping his brother. Li Jing thinks that the only possibility is that this guy will attack Zhangye.
Although Zhangye County has few soldiers and horses and a sparse population, Li Xin did not dare to give up Zhangye County, not only in terms of reputation and prestige, but more importantly, Zhangye County is located in Qilian Mountain, where Li Xin's cavalry is related and is Li Xin's horse breeding place.
In the pavilion of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Xin and Li Jing sat next to each other, and the fragrance of tea in front of them was ethereal.
"General, this time the rear will depend on you." Li Xin is about to send troops to Longxi County, and the affairs of Zhangye County can only rely on Li Jing.
"The Grand Governor, the last general has a plan here, I don't know if the Grand Governor can agree." Li Jing suddenly looked at Li Xin and said, "You can eat the 100,000 Turkic army." ”
"And such a thing?" Li Xin's face was stunned, he looked at Li Jing and said, "Since I let Brother Jing be in charge of resisting the Turks this time, naturally everything will be handed over to Brother Jing, and Brother Jing will be in charge." ”
"That's good. Governor, please see. This is Zhangye County. Li Xin stood with tea and sketched a map on the several cases in front of him, and said: "We conclude that the enemy will attack Zhangye County, and attack the cities along the Silk Road, we must resist the Turks in Zhangye County, the Turks are sharp, and if we want to hurt him, we will have to pay a certain price, but the last general thinks that if we want to hurt him, we must eat them, at least we must eat Da Bu. This is Ju Yanze, that is, the West Sea, the last general once read the history books, this place is amazing! The champion Hou of the year attacked the desert from here, this place was the place where the Huns haunted, not to mention the abundance of water and grass, and more importantly, from here, you can detour behind the enemy and give the enemy a blow. Although the passive defense will defeat the enemy, we will lose more, and we can only defeat the enemy by surprise. It's just that in this way, the pressure on Zhangye County will be greater. ”
"Then I'll clear the wilderness, anyway, the population of Zhangye County is not large, we will move him over." Li Xin didn't think about it and said: "When they enter the territory of my Liangzhou, they themselves lack food and grass, and if we attack their back roads again, we will definitely be able to trap them in the land of Liangzhou, Brother Jing, who can lead the troops to enter the Turks through the West Sea?" Otherwise, I'll send you Wei Chigong too! ”
"No, as long as Li Xuanba is by my side." Li Jing said with a smile: "I'm going to go around from the West Sea to the back of Dubi in person, hehe, if you want to come to me for trouble in Liangzhou, then it depends on his strength." ”
"Okay, I'll go see Xuanba!" Li Xin said happily: "I want to see how the Turks can resist the advance of my general's troops. ”
"The last general will definitely let the Metropolitan Governor see it." Li Jing said with confidence.
"Alright, Metropolitan Governor, I'll go see Li Xuanba now." Li Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he said: "Tomorrow you will lead the army to the expedition and leave Lanzhou with Li Xuanba." I think my father-in-law is probably going to send someone to pick up Xuanba back soon, after all, Xuanba's reputation is now very big. I'm afraid my old man won't give up on this fierce general. ”
"That's nature, and if it were me, I wouldn't give up." Li Jing nodded violently.
Li Yuan, who was far away in Taiyuan, sat in the study, his expression was complicated, his brows were furrowed, and he looked coldly at the letter in front of him.
Of course, what made Li Yuan feel even more embarrassed was his son Li Xuanba. With the victory of Li Jing's conquest of Tuyuhun in the war, the Western Army suddenly appeared in front of everyone, Li Jing's military command ability, the rise of Su Dingfang, of course, the most eye-catching is the appearance of Li Xuanba, this fierce general brother swept the entire Tuyuhun, and the generals who died under him did not know how many. When people found out who Li Xuanba was, all eyes looked at Li Yuan, Li Yuan and Li Xin's personal enmity was known to the world, but now Li Yuan's son was going to help Li Xin and fight on the battlefield, which had to make Li Yuan feel shameless. The son who he values the least is so powerful and has established such a feat. If it was before, Li Yuan would definitely be very happy, but he didn't have any joy in his heart when he treated Li Xuanba.
Li Yuan himself is handsome and extraordinary, the Dou family is also a famous lady, and his posture is extremely beautiful, the son born to the two, Li Jiancheng has the style of a father, Li Shimin has a majestic posture and a heroic appearance, but when he comes to Li Xuanba, he is extremely ugly, like a monkey, and only Li Yuan himself knows the reason, but for such a thing, Li Yuan can't say it.
"Yang Guang! I will take the country, and the wife and daughter. Li Yuan said viciously: "Someone, quickly send a message to Xuanba, and let him go back to Taiyuan." (To be continued......)
