Chapter 552: Xu Shiji, who is temporarily committed to the thief
It can be said that what has happened in the past year can be described as a big ups and downs, wonderful, anyway, this son is firmly based in Guanzhong and looks at the Central Plains, so he is naturally in the mood to watch a play. And the Central Plains Zhuxiong is also very clear that the current strength of this son has made them start to feel anxious, and it is very clear that according to the benefits of Guanzhong, this son is not a shot, and once he makes a move, I am afraid that the world will fall into my bag nine times out of ten.
Therefore, now, Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi are already under the support of the Turks, joining forces all the way, eyeing Li Yuan, and Dou Jiande is wantonly encroaching on the surrounding territory, and the capital is Yu Leshou, and the founding name is Xia. Zheng Ying's eyes were looking around, intending to expand again, and Luo Yi was in a corner according to Youzhou and Yingzhou, and Gao Kaidao had Yuyang, and then killed the monk Gao Tansheng and took its territory, and its momentum grew. And to the south, Wang Shichong can now be regarded as a spring breeze.
Externally, he not only defeated, but also defeated Li Mi, the most powerful opponent in the past, occupied Li Mi's territory, and received his army, and internally, after launching a mutiny, he not only killed all the opponents, but also put Yang Tong under house arrest, and although Du Fuwei refused to belong to Wang Shichong, he knew that he was not the opponent of Wang Shichong, who was in his prime. Then he respected Yang Dong, the puppet emperor supported by Wang Shichong in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and worshiped Du Fuwei as the king of Chu and the general manager of the official host. According to more than ten counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Faxing, who claimed to be the governor of Jiangnan Province, also went to the Eastern Capital, calling himself the Great Sima, recording Shangshushi, and Tianmen Gong.
Although these heroes did not listen to the announcement, Wang Shichong at least possessed a righteous name, plus he defeated his former rival Li Mi, and he was completely the uncrowned king of Henan, which can be described as menacing.
In the land south of the Yangtze River, Du Fuwei is based on Liyang, Li Zitong is based on Hailing, and Shen Faxing is based on Biling, and the three major forces are eyeing Jiangdu. And the territory that Xiao Mo now occupies can be regarded as the third most among the Sui Wei heroes.
Its potential range is bordered by Jiujiang River in the east, the Three Gorges in the west, Cochin (Hanoi, Vietnam) in the south, and the Han River in the north. There are 400,000 soldiers, but this guy doesn't want to forge ahead, in recent years, the country has been established, and the number of soldiers has been supported, but in addition to gnawing a little bit of territory around, he didn't think of expanding the scope of his power at all.
And Lin Shihong has Jiujiang, Linchuan, Luling, Nankang, Yichun and other counties, although after the defeat of Xiao Milling, lost Yuzhang, but there are still Nanchang, Qianzhou, Xunzhou, Chaozhou and other states. Then, Hanyang Taishou Feng Ang was not angry with Xiao Milling, and led Cangwu, Gaoliang, Zhuya, Panyu and other places to attach to Lin Shiyou, so that it could be said that although its strength is weaker than Xiao Milling, it is not weaker.
and squatted with Xiao Milling to stare at each other and play.
And now, spring has arrived, the winter snow has melted, although the weather is still cold, but the temperature is already above freezing, no longer freezing. Therefore, the cement straight road to Qipanguan is working overtime to start at a rapid pace, according to the current distance of less than 100 miles left, in mid-March, when the cement straight road from Chang'an to Qipanguan can be fully connected.
In addition, a large number of spies sent are widely distributed in Shuzhong, and they are wantonly bribing and persuading officials in Shuzhong to facilitate the governance of Shuzhong in the future. By the end of March and the beginning of April, tens of thousands of heroes of the Chinese Revival Army will follow this wide and gentle cement straight road, take the chessboard pass and go straight to Guangyuan, and the troops will go straight to Shu.
And now,It's in the quiet period.,Or it's the precipitation period.,There's also a news that makes this son very speechless.,Just the day before yesterday.,The samurai who was about to go crazy sent a big gift to this son.,For this kind of inexplicable behavior.,This son is very curious.。
When I asked, I found out that this guy had only been married for less than two months, and his mother-in-law was already pregnant, and by the way, for the forty-year-old Yang family and the combat effectiveness of the warrior in his early forties, my friends and old partners expressed their surprise and blessings.
I'm really curious, I really don't know if the Yang family will give birth to a male or female baby, my biggest hope is naturally that the Yang family can continue to give birth to three beautiful and intelligent female babies, and I hope that the second child is Wu Zetian in another historical time and space, I really want to see what this first female emperor in history who successfully ascended the throne and ruled the country for decades looks like.
Just a few days ago, I received a letter from Liu Hongji's buddy, Xu Shiji got on the line with him, and the two gradually became confidants, and finally, Xu Shiji listened to Liu Hongji's persuasion and temporarily committed himself to Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong was overjoyed, after all, Xu Shiji was the first wise general of the Wagang Army.
Wang Shichong attacked the Wagang army many times, Xu Shiji refused to fight several times, and defeated Wang Shichong several times on both sides of the Luoshui River with strange tricks, which made Wang Shichong deeply afraid. If it weren't for the fact that he was hated by Li Mi because he bluntly spoke out about Li Mi's mistakes before, he gradually distanced himself and no longer listened to his words, which caused the Wagang army to be defeated by the enemy, otherwise, Wang Shichong would not have been able to defeat the Wagang army, seize its land, and take its territory.
Now that he has such a good general, how can Wang Shichong not like it? not only appointed him as the general of Zuofu, commanding some of the old Wagang soldiers to appease those Wagang soldiers, but also married his brother's daughter to Xu Shiji to show his reuse.
In addition, I finally got the news of Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, and at the end of the great cause, his father, Xue Renxiong, the general of the Sui Left Imperial Guard, was appointed as the Taishou of Zhuo County, and the two brothers served under their father's command. In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Xue Renxiong was defeated by Dou Jiande in the Battle of Hejian, fell ill and died soon after.
And Xue Wanche and his brother Xue Wanjun originally wanted to help the coffin and return to Luoyang, but the world was in chaos and the road was cut off, so in desperation, they could only go to Luo Yi, the guard of Zhuo County, who had always taken a fancy to their brothers.
At the end of last year, in November, Dou Jiande conquered Jizhou (Zhixindu, now Ji County, Hebei), and his prestige was great. In December, Dou Jiande led another 100,000 troops to attack Youzhou. When Luo Yi was preparing to attack and fight, Xue Wanjun suggested that the main Zhuojun soldiers were outnumbered, and if they went out of the city to face the battle, no matter how they fought, they would definitely lose, and they should take it by calculation, so that they could have the hope of victory.
In the end, Luo Yi followed his strategy and ordered the old and weak soldiers in the army to block the water and back the city to lure him, and Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun led 500 elite cavalry on the side of the city, preparing for an air attack.
At the beginning of the battle, Dou Jiande really hit the plan, led the troops to cross the water, and when he was halfway across, Xue Wanche and his brothers led five hundred elite cavalry to quietly appear and directly attacked Dou Jiande's unsuspecting Chinese army, so that Dou Jiande's Xia army could not take care of the head and tail, and was defeated.
This battle made Dou Jiande very discouraged and demoralized, but in the same way, it made Luo Yi's prestige soar, and after seizing Yingzhou, he had Youzhou and Yingzhou, which became a major force for separating the territory.
Naturally, these messages were sent by intelligence officers who had already connected with Brother Xue Wanche. Since they took over, these two brothers have asked the intelligence officers to bring the news, if this son is out of the customs, they are willing to persuade Luo Yi to lead the two states of Youyou and Ying, and surrender to me.
I was already very touched by the fact that these two brothers were able to say this, after all, now I am far away in Guanzhong, and their brothers are far away in the secluded and camping place, and there are several warlords in between. Therefore, even if you have the heart, you can't go to it, and you can talk about it in the future.
Anyway, I believe in my own strength, and when my son takes the land of Shu, defeats Xiao Mo and Lin Shihong, and owns the land of Jiangnan. Then in terms of population and territory alone, there will be no equal enemy in the world, and when the time comes, sending troops to Guanzhong will be tantamount to announcing to all the heroes in the world that this son is going to pacify the world.
Li Jing and the others also know very well that if our Chinese Revival Army comes out of the pass, it will be hostile from all sides, and even let those Central Plains heroes unite to deal with the Chinese Revival Army, there is no way, who will make our strength the strongest.
Therefore, these Wenchen generals all strongly supported it, ignoring the Central Plains Zhuxiong in Guanwai and outside the country, but taking Shuzhong, taking the vast southwest land and Jiangnan, and then attacking north. A large encirclement has been formed, and as the saying goes, it can be attacked and defended, and it will be able to be invincible.
Fighting Hexi and taking Xiqin before, although it can be regarded as a big war, but it is only to clean up the corners, and it can't attract the attention of the Central Plains Zhuxiong, and if I go to Bashu, it will definitely attract the attention of the Central Plains and Jiangnan Zhuxiong, and when the time comes, it will not be as easy as now.
According to Li Shimin's letter, although Li Yuan's current life is a little difficult, since Li Mi came, the 50,000 Wagang army is indeed elite, and Li Yuan entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and worshiped him as the head of Diaoyin. ordered him to command his troops and attack Diaoyin County to block the increasingly fierce offensive of the Liang Division.
Li Mi received the order, starting from Shangdang County, after the army arrived at Jiexiu in Hexi County, it began to travel day and night, fifteen days later, suddenly appeared in Fulu Mountain, broke the Liang army stationed in Fulu Mountain, took advantage of the situation to attack, and forcibly captured Lishi County, Lishi City.
Immediately afterwards, he took Pingyi and Xiuhua counties, and controlled most of Lishi County under its military might, and the Liang division was furious, commanding 50,000 elite soldiers, and Hu cavalry 5,000 out of Dinghu, and Li Mi fought against him, and the victory was inseparable.
Liu Wuzhou was invited by Liang Shidu to send troops to Zhoushan to contain Li Shentong's department, while Li Shimin led the army south to station in Shangdang County to block Wang Shichong, who wanted to advance north. Li Shimin has already begun to show his talents, in Shangdang County, leading only 30,000 troops, but Wang Shichong's 70,000 army is blocked at Sheep's Head Mountain.
Then, Li Shimin led a thousand elite cavalry and sneaked to the rear of Wang Shichong's army, and after Tianming Wang Shichong's army launched an attack on Sheep's Head Mountain, the elite of the thousand cavalry was personally led by Li Shimin to kill Wang Shichong's rear formation and destroy his camp.
Wang Shichong was defeated, lost his troops and had to withdraw from Shangdang County, but he was pursued by Li Shimin, but he failed to steal chickens, lost a handful of rice, and even lost Changping County.
Wang Shichong had no choice but to give an order to defend the north of Changping County to prevent Li Shimin from invading south. As for Li Xiaogong, another general of the old Li family, led 20,000 troops and stationed them in Jingcheng to strictly guard against Dou Jiande.
Li Yuan, who claimed to be the king of Tang, naturally presided over the overall situation in Jinyang, while Li Jiancheng, the son of the family, walked around on behalf of Li Yuan to pacify the people and calm the hearts of the people.
