Chapter 123: Eight Voices of Ganzhou (3)

Looking at the direction of Mingsha Mountain, Shi Jingfeng said emotionally:

"Jiyan, I know you have a thought in your heart, but I can only wronged you to stay here. When the battle here is over, I will promote you to a higher level, and send you back to the field in a beautiful manner. ”

Shi Jingfeng's hand patted Li Jiyan's shoulder, Li Jiyan held Shi Jingfeng's hand and said:

"There's really no way to take you, how can I have such a stunned boss and friend as you!"

Looking at Li Jiyan, who looked resolute, Shi Jingfeng said with a guilty face:

"With your martial arts intelligence and qualifications, if you are in other armies, you will at least be a captain, and you have been wronged by me for so many years."

Li Jiyan joked:

"Brother, don't speak to outsiders. If it was under the hands of other people, maybe I wouldn't have mixed it up now, either brushing the general's horses in the barracks, or waiting for the amnesty to go home and farm and hold the baby. ”

Shi Jingfeng knew that he didn't need to say anything more, and said solemnly:

"In that case, I will hand over the old Yumen Pass to you, Shang Tazan's army will still be there for some time, you have to hurry up and train this group of recruits. As for the grain and grass, I will ask Zhang Beijia to bring someone to move it for you. ”

Looking at Shi Jingfeng, who had a cautious face, Li Jiyan joked:

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep the Tubo people out for you. Finally have the opportunity to be on my own, can I not do a good job? ”

Shi Jingfeng slapped him and said:

"Remember, don't play with your life. If you can hold it, you can hold it, and if you can't hold it, you will run into the desert, I will send a few people who are familiar with the desert to you, Sha Wuxian can move freely, and you will definitely be able to. ”

This time they suddenly came to Shazhou to create such a big situation, and the two of them felt the deepest thing was the lack of talents. That day, it was suddenly launched, and after Shazhou was conquered, the Han people from all over Shazhou responded one after another, killing the Tubo lords one after another, and came to serve. Shi Jingfeng's team quickly expanded to 7,000 people. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he rebuilt the Doulu Army due to the situation, and appointed himself as the Governor of the Doulu Army, and the Assassin of Quansha Prefecture.

It stands to reason that the population of Shazhou is only a few hundred thousand, and the army of 7,000 people is already impressive. During the Tianbao period, the Doulu army was only 3,000 people. But unlike in the Tianbao period, Shi Jingfeng did not have the support of tens of thousands of troops in Hexi Town. As a key point between Hexi and Anxi, Shi Jingfeng may have to face enemies from three directions at the same time, and he also has to beware of the Uighurs stabbing in the back, so most of the 2,000 elites were scattered by Shi Jingfeng among the recruits to train the recruits.

In the end, the team has expanded, the original captain is now a captain, the original team is beginning to sit on the captain, and the original team commander has now become a team leader, what will become of such an army after training, Shi Jingfeng is an old soldier, so he naturally knows. Fortunately, these recruits were all born as slaves, and they were all full of energy when they returned to the Tang Dynasty, and Shi Jingfeng promised to restore the Juntian system after defeating the Tubo people, and * won unprecedented support in the entire Shazhou. This is a point that makes Shi Jingfeng more gratifying.

What made Shi Jingfeng even happier was that in the second year of the establishment of the Middle School, he knew that the soldiers and horses had made the Yan Dynasty run out of ammunition and food, and had no choice but to lead the Shazhou army and people to surrender before they solemnly agreed with the Fan general Qi Xin'er not to let the people of Shazhou be displaced, so that the Zhang, Li and other Shazhou Han families could be preserved. Although he was subjected to all kinds of difficulties, discrimination and insults by Tibet, after all, his strength was relatively concentrated. Under the advice of the local elders, Shi Jing served Zhang Bang to recruit talents, and the result made him happy on the first day, Zhang Qianyi, who served under the rule of Tubo in Shazhou, was born in the Zhang family of Qinghe, because his ancestors lived in Shazhou because of the relationship between his ancestors as officials, so he was a native of Shazhou. The Zhang family once fought against Tibet with the Yan Dynasty, and when they were officials in Tibet, they were able to maintain the Han people, and their official reputation was good. Shi Jingfeng immediately appointed Zhang Qianyi as the driver of Shazhou, which solved the problem of the shortage of civil affairs officials in his own country.

Zhang Qianyi is really a talent, within a few days, Shazhou was actually put in order by him, and the scene under the rule of the Tang Dynasty was completely restored, and Shi Jingfeng felt that it was not much different from the mainland towns as soon as he went out. Zhang Qianyi also has a hand in the military, because Shazhou is located in a key position, so the material reserves are extremely rich. After taking Shazhou, Zhang Qianyi suggested that Shi Jingfeng attack the Tubo army's Tunliang City. Under the guidance of Zhang Qianyi, Shi Jingfeng personally led 500 men to attack Tunliang City at night and captured the heavy camp of the Tubo army. Relying on these burdens, Shi Jingfeng equipped the 7,000 army and had the capital to defend Shazhou.

And Zhang Qianyi's two sons made Shi Jingfeng's eyes shine, Zhang Qianyi's eldest son Zhang Yitan, and the second son Zhang Yichao, although one is only seventeen years old and the other is only fifteen years old, but they are both civil and military figures, and the Li family also has many talents, Shi Jingfeng accepted the Zhang brothers at that time, and took one of them with him and the other by Li Jiyan's side. Now the two of them are waiting for their commander on the side of the road. But even so, Shi Jingfeng still feels that there are still too few talents who can take charge of themselves, and there is still a Li Jiyan and another captain Shi Baoshan around him to discuss things when he encounters an accident, and now Shi Baoshan is sent to replace Li Jiyan to build a city in Dangjin Pass, and Li Jiyan wants to enter the old Yumen Pass in the west, Shi Jingfeng suddenly feels that his side is empty.

Li Jiyan was also full of emotion about this, and said:

"Who would have thought that in just two months we would be able to recover such a large state with 2,000 men? You can really do it, and in just a few days, you have raised such a large army. ”

Shi Jingfeng said:

"It's easy to take, it's hard to defend, I can't sleep when I think of relying on our 7,000 people, and the tens of thousands of troops of the monk Tazang want to fight."

In the past, when I was young, I wanted to lead the army alone, like General Wang Zhongsi and made immortal achievements, but now I really take charge of it, Shi Jingfeng knows that it is really difficult to be alone, and the difficulty is that I have to think about all aspects of the problem by myself, and I am under tremendous pressure alone. Li Jiyan obviously didn't have such feelings as Shi Jingfeng, and said lightly:

"Soldiers are not afraid, as long as they see blood."

In the end, it was the bystander Qing, Shi Jingfeng said thoughtfully:

"Jiyan, what do you mean?"

Li Jiyan is colorful:

"There are not many defenders in Guazhou and Tubo, and the general can raise troops to attack the strategy, one to restore the hometown, the second to train new soldiers, and the third to obtain geographical advantages. Don't you hear that Yumen Pass is at the head of Yiwu Road, on the south bank of the Guazhou Gourd River? Yumen Pass is only three or four days away from here, as long as you can get Yumen Pass, why fear the enemy army in Ganzhou? At that time, as long as the Dangjin Pass was strictly guarded, even if the last general could not hold the Hanyumen Pass (80 kilometers northwest of Dunhuang, the Tangyumen Pass was east of Dunhuang), he could also change the three-way flank attack into a one-way enemy army, and when Shang Tazang led the army to the city of Shazhou, Chen Guogong was afraid that he would have to take Ganzhou. ”

Like a boulder in his heart being moved, Shi Jingfeng felt a burst of relief, and was about to answer, when he heard two male ducks shouting from the Zhang brothers:

"Daddy!"

Then I heard Zhang Qianyi's voice say:

"Shi Dudu, two people have just been sent from the north outpost, they are from Guazhou, and they want to ask the Tang Heavenly Soldiers to rescue the people of Guazhou."

Shi Jingfeng and Li Jiyan glanced at each other, and walked towards the city one after the other.

The wax moon is approaching, and the atmosphere of the New Year is gradually thickening in Chang'an, even in the Daming Palace, Li Yu seems to be able to feel the festive atmosphere steaming up on the streets and alleys of Chang'an. However, at this time, Emperor Li Yu did not have a little intention of celebrating the New Year, and at this time, Emperor Li Yu was wholeheartedly fighting on the northwest situation, and he couldn't even take care of the baby Princess Youning.

"Your Majesty, Princess Youning is almost fifteen years old, it's time to find a good horse for her."

Knowing that Li Yu was busy with military affairs, Queen Wang couldn't help but remind. The princess is so old that she hasn't decided on a colt, so how can it be done? However, Li Yu's attitude did not satisfy Queen Wang. Li Yu raised his head slightly and said:

"Looking for a colt, aren't you? Youning is only fifteen years old, which is still early. ”

The queen was furious for a while, and said:

"Your Majesty, when the concubine first married His Majesty, she was only thirteen years old, and she was only fifteen years old when she gave birth to the crown prince. Your Majesty has not yet chosen a colt for Youning, which will inevitably cause criticism. ”

Listening to Queen Wang talk about the past of Lori, Li Yu felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly put down the paperwork in his hand and said:

"What's the criticism?"

Queen Wang said:

"Those who know know that His Majesty is good for his daughters, but those who don't know chew their tongues blindly, saying that the concubines are not good, and they don't want to see the daughters born to others."

Li Chanted:

"Queen, I have also read Zhao Guogong's letter to you, I think it makes sense, so I plan to start with the clan first, don't you agree that royal daughters are not allowed to marry under the age of seventeen? In that case, why care what the outside says? The affairs of the heavenly family are not the turn of outsiders to criticize. ”
