Huaihuang Town, the county guard's house.
When the lights are on, the county guard is brightly lit in the mansion.
On the tethered horse stake outside the gate of the county government, a slippery war horse was tied, and the Han soldiers of the Xi nationality held Changge, pressed the hilt of the sword, and patrolled the side of the mansion.
Inside the house, Mu Deyun held her big belly, slowly walked to the door and asked the maid, "Why is it that you haven't finished discussing with your lords?" ”
The maid bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, ma'am." The lights are still on in the big room. ”
Mu Deyun nodded, and immediately said: "Immediately order the kitchen to prepare ......, no, I'll go myself." ”
The maid hurriedly said: "Madam, you are pregnant with Liujia, how can you work, the county guard will definitely blame, or let me go." ”
Mu Deyun looked at his stomach, nodded immediately, and said, "Okay, you must serve your husband thoroughly." ”
After speaking, Mu Deyun glanced at the brightly lit house.
Now in the room where Li Chongjiu is, a large map made of several sheepskins is spread out on the ground.
Ying Hefu, Etuo, Yan Yelie, Wang Mahan, Tan Zong, Sun Erniang and other generals, as well as Liu Yi and Ji Chuan, the two ministers, all sat cross-legged in front of the map, and Li Chongjiu also sat on the main seat.
The only person standing was Sima Wen Yanbo of Shanggu County.
Wen Yanbo stood in front of the map, drew a wooden staff on the sheepskin, and said: "This is the map of the mountains, rivers and rivers of the 31st county of Yizhou that I copied for the official when I was in the Ministry of Internal History. ”
Hearing Wen Yanbo say this, all the generals were all sighing.
In this era when map mapping was not yet popular, in this era when many people had never been out of the county or county in their lives, it was unimaginable for everyone to see the mountains and rivers of this place.
Everyone widened their eyes, Li Chongjiu saw Ying Hefu, Etuo, and they all widened their eyes, Wang Mahan, and Tan Zong also stared at the bull's eye.
They looked at it in amazement for a long time, and then Wang Mahan arched his hand to Li Chongjiu and said: "Ashamed, ashamed, I am not very literate." ”
Saying this, everyone laughed, and Tan Zong also laughed and said: "Senior brother, this mountain, river and river map knows me, but I don't know him, forget it, this is all done by fine people, or listen to the words of senior brother, tell me to beat someone." ”
Li Chongjiu's face sank when he heard this, and he said: "In the past two years, I asked you to go to the county school to study, and everything you have learned has been explained in vain. ”
Wang Mahan and Tan Zong saw that Li Chongjiu was angry, and they all lowered their heads, as if they had done something. Li Chongjiu also had no choice about these two people for a while, but Ying Hefu looked at the map and said: "This is unimaginable, we have been running on the grassland with horses all our lives, and on this map, it is just a circle, a place as big as a palm." ”
Eto also nodded.
Li Chongjiu saw that these two people could understand the map, and showed an appreciative look, and said in his heart that these two people were outstanding people among the fans, and if they were given the opportunity to learn, they would be just as good.
Wen Yanbo said: "Now we have received a secret report, which has been confirmed that the three tribes of the Khitan and Xi tribes, Gao Kaidao, and Luo Yi are ready to unite and send troops to my Liaoxi, intending to sack my Zhuo County. ”
Although everyone knew the news, everyone's faces were solemn at the moment.
Wen Yanbo pointed the wooden staff to the place where Liaoxi was located, and said: "This is Liaoxi, the northeast is close to the Xi people's humiliation of the king's department, the northwest is close to the Khitan, and the south is Gao Kaidao and Luo Yi. Once the four tribes are mobilized, the Khitan alone will have more than 100,000 troops, and the three Xi tribes will also use more than 50,000 horsemen. Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao will also dispatch 10,000 horses. ”
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help frowning, and they felt that the situation was grim, which was close to 200,000 troops.
Wen Yanbo continued to point to the map with a wooden staff and said: "Compared with the Khitan, the three tribes of the Xi tribe, Gao Kaidao, and Luo Yi's alliance. In our current situation, the Turks have just managed to gain a neutral attitude. ”
"As for the south, Dou Jiande has always maintained a situation with us that the well water does not interfere with the river water. Dou Jiande is now leading a large army to attack Hejian County, and the 100,000 army has been besieging the city for more than 100 days. If Hejian County is conquered, Dou Jiande has taken a big step towards unifying Hebei, but before that, Dou Jiande has no spare strength to use troops to the north. ”
Listening to Wen Yanbo's analysis, everyone nodded together, now for Li Chongjiu, the two strongest opponents around him are now not free to release their hands to clean them up. For the current shape of the Cangtou army, this can undoubtedly alleviate the situation that is now surrounded by a group of enemies.
"Then what is the current strength of our army, and can we carry out this battle?" Li Chongjiu spoke.
At that moment, Li Chongjiu nodded to Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo immediately drew the wooden pole, pointed to the map, and said: "The big war is based on manpower and the number of households." This is the place where our Cangtou army is based, which are three of the five counties of Yanmen County, six counties of Shanggu County, seven of the nine counties of Zhuo County, and two counties of Anle County. After checking the household registration at the beginning of this year, there are more than 95,000 households in these 18 counties. ”
"That's it?" Sun Erniang couldn't help asking.
"Yes," Wen Yanbo said, "the three counties of Shanggu, Yanmen, and Anle were all scattered by war before, and less than half of the population has been dispersed. In addition, there are several major scholars in Zhuo County, all of whom have hidden homeless people, and we don't know how many of them are. As for the Goguryeo army and the new refugees who have flowed into Zhuojun this year, we have not counted them. ”
More than 90,000 households, Li Chongjiu shook his head, although he said that he had four counties, but Dou Jiande captured one Hejian County, there were nearly 200,000 households, even if the war loss was more than half, but it could be equal to himself.
Then Wen Yanbo said: "This is within the Great Wall, outside the Great Wall, the two towns of Yuyi, and the number of households has reached nearly 20,000. ”
This number shocked everyone, and even Li Chongjiu was a little surprised, when did Huai Famine, Yuyi Second Town reach this population, although it grew rapidly, but he thought it was only about 10,000 households. In other words, the population of Lizhong's 98 counties is only 5,000 households per county on average, but the average population of the two towns is more than 10,000 households.
In the Sui Dynasty, there were more than 10,000 households, and it was Shangxian. Three years ago, the two towns were deserted.
Wen Yanbo nodded to confirm that it was correct, and said: "In addition to the original people, the population of the two towns is mainly Han merchants and displaced people, and more than half of them are Fanren, Turkic, Xi, Khitan, Murwei, and Xia people gathered from all sides of the grassland. ”
"In addition, this is not counting the submission to our grassland tribes, plus our Murudexi tribe, Liaoxi Yao, and Ding Ling clan, we alone have reached the strength of nearly 50,000 accounts."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, when the Khanate was established a year ago, Li Chongjiu only had 20,000 tents under his command, and now there are more Liaoxi Yao, Ding Ling clan joined, and the grassland tribe that has been newly attached has now become a large tribe with 50,000 tents.
Fanren can be said to be all soldiers, and the mobilization power has always been difficult to estimate, if it is 50,000 accounts, how many troops can Li Chongjiu mobilize? Even he didn't know.
At this time, Eto's body was shocked, and Li Chongjiu looked at the other party and asked, "Eto, what do you think of?" ”
Eto said: "Please forgive us for our gaffes, we didn't think of this matter, so the Khitans, Luo Yi, they are even more unlikely to think of it!" ”
Li Chongjiu nodded, but he didn't expect that his move to win over people would receive such results. As Eto said, he didn't expect it, and the Khitans didn't expect it, they only thought that they couldn't collect nearly 10,000 Han troops from the capture of Zhuo County, but they didn't know that there were so many troops under Li Chongjiu's command.
Just when Li Chongjiu was discussing, suddenly under the steps, his pace was chaotic, and he ran out of the room alone, and shouted through the door: "Commander, Li Yuan captured Xijing ten days ago!" ”
Li Chongjiu stood up at the moment and pushed open the door, only to see the soldier kneeling under the steps. Li Chongjiu said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it in detail! ”
"Yes!"
The soldier immediately said: "After Li Yuan led more than 10,000 troops to cross the Wei River, he joined Li Sanniang's 70,000 army. After Qu Tu heard about it, he ordered the general Yao Junsu to stay in Hedong, and led the army to cross the Yellow River to Tongguan, Li Yuan took the son Li Jiancheng, and Sima Liu Wenjing led tens of thousands of Tun Yongfeng Cang, in order to prepare for Qu Tutong, and Li Jiancheng could not win. ”
And Li Yuan himself led the army to camp in Changchun Palace, Yan'an, Shangjun, and Diaoyin all surrendered to Yuan, but after a month, the people of the Guan sergeant returned to the city, and the number of troops reached 200,000. The city sent troops to fight, Li Yuan broke it casually, and then Li Yuan would join the army, and then wave his army to attack Chang'an, but on the tenth day, Chang'an City was broken! ”
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he had an army of 200,000, Li Yuan's army of crossing the river, plus Li Sanniang's army, but 70,000 or 80,000 people, and he could get an army of 200,000 in an instant.
On the surface, it seems that it is the desire of Li Chongjiu's people, but in fact, this shows that the Guan Longshi clan has completely abandoned the Yang family and completely surrendered to Li Yuan, otherwise where does Li Yuan have influence, and he will have an army of 200,000 a month. This is Li Yuan's general trend!
Li Chongjiu took a deep breath and said immediately: "What happened after Li Yuan broke Chang'an? ”
"The military order is strict, and the autumn will not be committed! Before Li Yuan attacked Chang'an, he made it clear that he would commit the Seven Temples and the Acting King and the Clan, and the violators would destroy the three clans! Therefore, although the army broke the city, it was able to complete Chang'an. After Li Yuan entered the city, he respected the king as the emperor, and called the emperor the emperor in Jiangdu, the son of heaven, and the twelve articles of the law with the people, and the people had a word to remove the Sui harsh ban. ”
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, if it is Li Yuan's general trend above, then this is a human scheme. Compared with the nouveau riche Li Zicheng, after breaking Beijing, military discipline was corrupted and plundered everywhere. Xiang Yu entered the customs and burned the Afang Palace. Li Yuan's move is Liu Bang's old wisdom, Xijing is Kyoto, and what he did will be seen by everyone in the world. In this way, Li Yuanxian's name will be known to the world.
This is the Li clan in Longxi, the accumulation of generations, Li Yuan's vision can be described as long-term, after seizing Chang'an, the means he adopted were peaceful, the damage was extremely low, and he left a good reputation for himself.
Therefore, it is said that Li Tang can seize the world in history, it is wrong to rely only on the situation, and if people do not plan properly, the general trend will also be reversed. Such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Guandu.
