Chapter 9 Return to Beijing and the Reorganization of the Army
The weather in summer is really changing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When Wang Pu sent Fu Yanqing out of the emperor's imperial tent, the sun was still shining in the sky. When he sent the king of Wei out of the camp and turned around at the door, the sky suddenly became cloudy. When he returned to Zhao Kun's imperial tent, the sky flashed, startling him, and then there was a loud "click", and thunder thundered down.
"Sit down." Zhao Kun took a sip of tea, did not get up, but asked Wang Pu. "Fu Yanqing has returned to the camp?
"Weichen sent King Wei out of the camp all the way, and he did go north, and he must be able to return to the camp of the Tianxiong Army soon." Wang Pu replied while carefully sitting down on the chair brought by the little eunuch.
Wang Pu is a native of Dongping, the first Han Dynasty, the Later Han Dynasty Qianyou for three years, promoted to the Shidi, worshiped the secretary Lang, and attached to the privy envoy Yang Wei.
Later, when he saw that the political situation was in turmoil, he judged the situation and returned to the east to avoid chaos. In the first year of Guangshun, after the establishment of Guo Wei, he ordered his adopted son Chai Rong to guard the state, and Wang Pu and Chai Rong were appointed as the secretary of the festival and were deeply trusted. In the third year of Guangshun, Chai Rong entered the court and served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, the king of Jin, and worshiped Wang Pu as the right pick-up and Kaifeng Mansion Pusher.
In the first year of Xiande, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and then promoted the king Pu to Bibu Langzhong. At that time, most of the Korean Chinese officials did not advocate the use of force, believing that Wenzhi should take precedence. Only Wang Pu and a few other people emphasized the strategy of using troops, so they offered "Pacification Policy", promoted to the left counselor, and knew the affairs of Kaifeng. Before long, the Northern Han Dynasty cut the border, Zhao Kun conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, and a large number of civil and military officials followed him north, and Wang Pu was also among them. In the civil official sequence, except for those prime ministers, he is basically the one who has served the emperor for the longest time.
"King Wei is old." Zhao Kun sighed, "You sent him out, can you still get up and move?" β
Wang Pu showed a wry smile, "Official, according to what Weichen has seen, King Wei needs to be helped when he gets on and off the horse, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be." β
"yes." Zhao Kun already regretted letting Fu Yanqing lead his troops north.
Because, Fu Yanqing, the king of the Han people with different surnames in the current dynasty, the first feudal town in Hebei, the soil emperor of the Daimyo Mansion, and the head of the Jiangmen family who has not fallen after several dynasties...... Now I'm a little deaf.
Zhao Kun actually values Fu Yanqing very much.
For this kind of local powerhouse that is out of reach, he is generally tolerant. After he succeeded to the throne, he promoted Fu Yanqing's prince from King Wei to King Wei, and added the title of Taifu, which was the one with the greatest reward among the generals. Of course, he is not conniving at military generals, and while rewarding qualifications and being generous to officials, he should be punished with great intensity. If you want him to be like the emperors of the previous short-lived dynasties, blindly tolerate the military heads, don't even think about it. All the way north, more than 30 senior officers at the command and above of the commander of the forbidden army have been taken down by him.
After defeating the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces, he directly appointed the Tianxiong Army Jiedu envoy and Wei King Fu Yanqing as the deployment of the Hedong camp and the governor of Taiyuan, and it was still Guo Chong's deputy envoy of the Zhenning Army, Xiang Xun of the Xuanhui Southern Yuan as the commander of the camp and horses, Li Chongjin, the Marquis of the guards and horses, and Shi Yanchao as the commander of the vanguard of the camp. In addition to Fu Yanqing's partial division, the entire Hedong camp also added 20,000 infantry and cavalry of the forbidden army, and entered and exited from Luzhou to fight Hedong.
At the same time, he also ordered Wang Yan to make Wang Yan in the Hezhong Jiedu of the Western Route Army and Han Tong to lead troops from the Yin Pass into the east of the river and march with Fu Yanqing. Zhao Kun asked to go all the way in a hurry, not to use the Han army and the Khitan army to do senseless entanglement, the city can go down, and if it can't go down, go around, and go straight to Xinzhou Daizhou.
Zhao Kun himself took the remaining forbidden army, as well as the army deployed with the car, Liu Ci from Heyang Jiedu and Bai Chongzan from Baoda Jiedu to the north, pursued and cleared the rout of the Han army, received and stabilized the defeated city, and went all the way to Jinyang.
In April, the Northern Han Yu County fell, Fu Yanqing marched to the city of Jinyang, and the Zhou army gathered in the east of the river. With the approach of the Zhou army, Dong Xiyan, the defense envoy of Fenzhou in the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhang Han in Liaozhou, Han Guangyuan in Xianzhou, Guo Yan in Lanzhou, and Li Tingzhi in Qinzhou all returned to Shun with cities, and Wang Yan and Han Tong captured Shizhou and captured An Yanjin, the assassin of the Northern Han Dynasty.
At this time, the battle was actually going very well. After the successive surrenders of Northern Hanzhou County, the people in the Northern Han Dynasty also greeted the Zhou army along the way, crying to the Zhou army about the cruelty of Liu's enlistment, and eagerly hoping that the Zhou army would capture Jinyang and eliminate the Liu regime, so they were willing to supply military supplies. At the same time, before Zhao Kun's large army reached Jinyang City, there was good news that Wang Yan had defeated the Khitan army in Xinkou and controlled the situation in Xinzhou, and it seemed that the situation was very good.
But soon, the Zhou army was in Jinyang, and Fu Yanqing sent a small number of troops out of Xinkou to try to capture Daizhou and attack Yanmen Pass, but was defeated by the Khitans, and the king of Wei was stationed in Xinzhou and blindly asked Zhao Kun for reinforcements.
Now, due to the lack of equipment, baggage, and food that must be prepared to capture the fortified city, Jinyang is eager to take it. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the army has plundered and accumulated heavy habits, and the forbidden army has never been rectified. As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers under the Jiancheng of Jinyang inevitably relapsed, and under the plundering of the sergeants, the hearts of the people of Hedong who had been attached to them were gradually lost, and the people of Hedong no longer supplied grain, not to mention, but also retreated to protect the valley and plunder the grain road, which made the burden of transportation in Hebei, Henan and other places even heavier.
In addition, since May, it was difficult to attack the city in the rainy season, and the Khitan reinforcements were approaching Xinzhou, but fortunately, the army that attacked Xinzhou Daizhou to expel the Khitan army had no problem holding Xinkou under the leadership of Fu Yanqing, Guo Congyi, Xiang Xun, Bai Chongzan, Shi Yanchao and others. Together with Zhang Yongde and Li Yun, who went to reinforce them, the Zhou army defeated the Khitan Southern Courtyard King Yelu Tart Liebu who led the people south. It's a pity that they only defeated the other party, but failed to annihilate the opponent, and Daizhou Yanmen and other places are still out of reach. Zhang Yongde was able to restrain the brave and light advance of the generals, but he couldn't turn up the heavy military rations, and in desperation, he and Fu Yanqing and others could only lead the army back to Jinyang.
Fu Yanqing also knew that he was not fighting well, even if the eldest daughter was the emperor's main palace, and it was a matter of time before he became the queen, he still came to ask for the guilt as soon as possible, and his attitude was very humble. So, Zhao Kun couldn't say anything. In the end, I can only sigh that King Wei is old and no longer has the courage of the past.
- Fu Yanqing has a lot of wrinkles on her face, age spots on her cheekbones, and her hair and beard are all gray. When he faced the saint, his eyes were also a little sloppy, and his expression looked tired.
Maybe he was also a capable person when he was young, but at least now, Zhao Kun can only see the twilight on Fu Yanqing's face. He could only soothe the elderly King Wei with kind words and sent Wang Pu to send him out of the camp.
"Jinyang is not worried," Zhao Kun was silent for a while, "The destiny is in me, and it is not a trivial matter for the city walls of Jinyang City to collapse." When the time comes, let the plundering troops who were caught by the law enforcement team during this time take the lead, what does Wang Qing think? β
"This is a trivial matter, Your Majesty can make a decision." Wang Pu got up and bowed again, after seeing the vision of that day, this person also felt that Zhao Kun was a god-like existence, and his destiny returned. "However, the rivers and mountains in the east of the river, surrounded by the four mountains of Taihang, Luliang, Hengshan and Zhongtiao, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our dynasty can also pose a serious threat to the Khitan by holding on to the important places in the east of the river. When His Majesty recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it would be of great benefit to go north or east to Taihang. Therefore, the east of the river is ......"
"Are you talking about sending someone to lead the Hedong troops and guard Jinyang?" Zhao Kun didn't wait for Wang Pu to finish speaking, and he understood what he meant. He originally meant to belong to Fu Yanqing. He is the ruler of the country, he has qualifications and prestige, he has enough to guard Jinyang, and his loyalty is no problem - after all, the terrain in Hedong is dangerous, and it is convenient to divide it. Moreover, the Fu family has been a military town in Hebei for generations, and the famous mansion of the town has never moved to the town, and it is already a behemoth. Therefore, it is good to take advantage of this opportunity to move, it is impossible to let Fu Yanqing lead the soldiers and horses in Hedong and then hand over the army of Hebei to him at the same time, and it is already good to let the Tianxiong army move the town with him. "I originally planned to let King Wei continue to serve as the capital of the Hedong Expedition, but Lian is quite old."
"Your Majesty," Wang Pu Zhengse said, "although the King of Wei is old, his son is still in the prime of life. β
"You said Fu Zhaoxu, this son is still not enough, please consult Fu Yanqing for big and small things. Tianxiong Army is still too early for him to call the shots......" As he spoke, Zhao Kun suddenly reacted, he glanced at Wang Pu and didn't say any more.

On June 13 of the first year of Xiande, the Zhou army attacked again.
At the end of the day, Zhao Kun came to the city in person, and with a wave of his hand, the heavens and the earth flashed, and after a dazzling light, a huge ball composed of thick smoke rose into the air.
The earth then shook, as if there had been a sudden earthquake. "Boom!" After a loud bang, countless earth and rocks flew in all directions in the rapidly spreading smoke. Then, the Zhou army immediately launched a general attack - when the smoke and dust fell, the wall of Jinyang City really collapsed about 30 zhang long, and this section of the city wall turned into a mound of bricks and stones.
The Zhou army took advantage of the situation to attack, and the whole army pressed up. In the midst of a cry of "those who surrender will not die", a large number of Zhou troops poured into Jinyang from the gap in the city wall.
By noon, Jinyang City was already under the control of the Zhou army, and the Northern Han army, which had no desire to fight, asked for surrender, and Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, set fire to his palace and set himself on fire......
On June 22 of the first year of Xiande, the emperor summoned the king of Wei to play right. He was appointed as the head of the Hedong camp, and Taiyuan Mansion stayed behind, and his son Fu Zhaoxu was the envoy of the Tianxiong Army and the Taibao of the inspection school, and led the Tianxiong Army back to the army to guard the Daimyo's Mansion.
On June 25, Zhou Jun was in charge.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, with the Hexi Jiedu to make Shen Shihou not take the edict, abandon the town and enter the court without permission, and sign his son as the queen, and assign the right prison guard to lead the deputy rate of the government; In the past, Li Yanchong, the assassin of Zezhou, plundered the troops and assigned the right deputy to lead the army.

On July 18, Bian Guangfan, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was the waiter of the Criminal Department, and he was sentenced to Kaifeng Mansion; With the degree of branch member Wailang Wang as a bachelor of Hanlin. With Wang Pu as the bachelor of the Duanming Palace, the supervisor of the military weapons; The Jinyi Guard pro-military division was built, and the Jinyi Guard set up the North and South Town Fu Division, and the heroes in the Battle of Jinyang served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of the Tongzhi, the commander of the affairs, and the commander of the North and South Zhenfu Division; The Imperial City Division was changed to the eunuch governor within the East and West Investigation Factory. Establish martial arts, select the young people of the Praetorian Guards, the internal and external military ministers and the children of those who died in the king's affairs to enter the martial arts training, and the emperor supervises the martial arts.
On the same day, the edict said: The guards and soldiers are half old and young, strong and cowardly, arrogant and not life-threatening, and elected as the best and the inferior. The heroes of the world went to Tokyo to run for election. The weak were sent back to the countryside, and the elite were promoted to the first-class army, and the generals of the unified army were selected in order according to the order of the front division of the palace, the iron cavalry army, the crane control army, the guard pro-army Si Longjie army, and the Hujie army, and the rest were the second-class army and entered the Jinyi Wei pro-army division.
In October, the training of the forbidden army was completed. Since then, the three divisions of the forbidden army have been established side by side - the pro-military division of the guard, and Li Chongjin, the nephew of Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has been the commander of the capital; The front division of the palace, the son-in-law of Emperor Guo Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty Taizu and the commander of the horse Zhang Yongde is the commander of the capital; Jinyi Wei pro-military division, the power of the command of the emperor himself concurrently.
