Chapter 15 Li Sigong
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yu Fei replaced the blood-stained armor and put on a regular uniform.
The leaders of the small party clans who came spontaneously fell to their knees.
"Get up, don't even kneel."
Yu Fei threw the bloodstained white towel to Feng Dao on the side, and looked at the party leaders who knelt on the ground.
"Xie Dashuai."
Everyone got up and stood respectfully, not daring to carry it away to see Yu Fei.
"You are vainly trying to fight against Tianwei, which is unforgivable, but this handsome is kind, and you wait for the precipice to stop the horse, so you will wait for once."
They knelt down again and kowtowed in praise.
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, Ben Shuai has given you a task to call all the tribes near Yanzhou, and each department must send half of the young and strong to be led by the patriarch heir, and follow Ben Shuai to conquer the Tuoba clan."
Everyone was stunned, and the words of praise could not be continued, and the head of a small tribe who was a little old knelt on the ground with some embarrassment:
"Lord Qiyu Datang, now is the time when the water and grass are the fattest, if there is no half of the youth, there will not be enough herders, the cattle and sheep will not be full, and we will not be able to survive in winter. Ask for mercy from the Tang Dynasty. ”
After speaking, he kowtowed fiercely, and everyone kneeling on the ground also nodded.
Yu Fei looked at everyone, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and nodded.
"I see, since I can't survive the winter, then don't pass it, take it down and cut it, and then beat all his clan into slaves, it just so happens that Ben Shuai is going to re-set the Zhichong Mansion, and there is a shortage of slaves."
Li Sicun, who was covered in blood, hugged his fists and agreed.
"Yes."
Then the old man of the party who cried 'spare his life' was dragged out of the camp by Li Sicun.
"Who else are in trouble now? Ben Shuai will solve them one by one. ”
The crowd was swept away by Yu Fei's eyes, and they were so frightened that they trembled, and they buried their heads on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
......
On the first day of the second month, all the tribes near Yanzhou were outside the city of Yanzhou, and they swore allegiance to the Tang Dynasty again.
And Yanzhou Yu Fei also left nearly 20,000 soldiers from the Tuntian Mansion, and re-set up nearly 30 Zhichong Mansions, leaving Feng Dao to temporarily handle the affairs of the military and wait for the officials to take over.
When the army came to Lingzhou, Xiang Li had already escaped from the Great Wall with his clansmen, the gates of Lingzhou were wide open, and many small tribes were already kneeling outside the city to welcome Yu Fei.
The pastures of Lingzhou are much fatter than those of Yanzhou, and there are more tribes living here.
Yu Fei still dealt with Lingzhou in accordance with the Yanzhou affairs, leaving 40,000 government soldiers, resetting the Zhichong Mansion, and then transferring a large number of party items to young and strong.
After Yu Fei finished handling the affairs and the follow-up officials arrived, it was already early March.
The army that had been repaired in Lingzhou for a month was also officially out of the fortress, with not only more than 100,000 Tang troops beside him, but also nearly 30,000 party servants and cavalry, and the men and horses were still close to 200,000.
The tribes outside the Great Wall were different from the tribes inside the Great Wall, they did not have so much attachment to the land, and after Yu Fei's army left the fortress, most of them fled eastward, and all of them were concentrated under the command of the largest tribe in the party, the Tuoba clan.
Yu Fei didn't chase after him, he still marched slowly, and whenever he came to a place where the water and grass were abundant and could be cultivated, he would put down some government soldiers according to the situation.
When you come to Xiazhou, that is, the base camp of the party, the station of Tuoba Sigong, the envoy of the Dingyan Army.
At this point, Yu Fei's troops were less than 150,000, of which more than 30,000 were servant troops, so they could only fight a tailwind battle.
In addition to the destroyed Seal Department and the Pochao Department with only a few thousand people left, the remaining six party departments and countless small tribes were already waiting for Yu Fei in Xiazhou.
In the city of Xiazhou, Tuoba Sigong was full of gray hair, and there were very few people in the party who could live to his age.
"Shut up."
A reprimand that was not too big sounded, and the people who were still arguing instantly quieted down, even if several of the leaders looked at the old man respectfully.
Tuoba Sigong can be said to be the real founder of the party, after the defeat of the first crusade against Huangchao, when many jiedu envoys were afraid of Huangchao's soldiers and did not dare to fight.
It was Tuoba Sigong, who was only a general in Xiazhou at the time, who fled back to Xiazhou and recruited troops on a large scale, and then went to the book to fight for thieves alone.
Later, Huang Chao was defeated, and he was also named the envoy of the festival of the difficult army because of his military exploits, and was given the surname Li, so this festival envoy can also be called Li Sigong. It has jurisdiction over the vast areas of Xia, Sui, You, and Yinzhou, and the party members took this as the foundation, which really began to rise, and later slowly invaded the Great Wall.
Although Li Sigong is old, the tiger is still dead, not to mention that he is not dead, and his body is extremely strong.
Li Sigong glanced at the crowd:
"The four continents of Dingyan were given to me by His Majesty personally at the beginning, and no one can take it away, not to mention that it is just a small Qi country, that is, the Tang Dynasty has come back from the dead, and we have to ask if our knife is accurate, and those who dare to say that they will be killed."
"Yes."
Everyone bowed down in response, looking respectful.
"Yin'er, prepare a horse for grandpa, the old man will personally go to meet this Yu Dashuai for a while, is there really such a spirit as the legend."
A young man in his twenties, dressed like a Han Chinese, turned around and walked away.
"You are here to put your troops in order, and you are ready. If the old man's talk collapses, then let's fight. ”
"Respect the Patriarch's Order."
The crowd bowed down again in response.
......
Yu Fei commanded the army to set up the camp ten miles away from Xiazhou, and was checking the surrounding terrain around the camp, while Feng Dao also followed behind Yu Fei, and reported to Yu Fei after summarizing the military information of the scouts.
"In other words, now the party items are all concentrated in Xiazhou?"
Feng Dao nodded and replied:
"Yes, according to the news that came back from the investigation, there are more than 150,000 soldiers and horses in Xiazhou."
Yu Fei smiled and nodded.
"I can't imagine that a small party, with a population of just over one million, can have such potential, and it is good to fight and decide."
Feng Dao also smiled and nodded in agreement, after a few months of tempering, Feng Dao was like a dusty sword grinding off the rust, and began to slowly emit a sharp edge, which could quickly find out really useful information from the thousands of intelligence, and it was not in vain for Yu Fei to cultivate it.
Just as the two were talking, a puff of smoke and dust suddenly rose at the gate of Xiazhou City in the distance, and Yu Fei's eyes were amazing, and he had already seen the cavalry figure in it.
"Let's go, someone's coming, see what they want to do."
Feng Dao replied respectfully and returned to the camp with Yu Fei.
......
Outside the camp, Li Sigong looked at the camp where Yu Fei was stationed, turned his head and began to educate his grandson Li Yiyin, until the camp gate opened and Yu Fei came out on horseback with a few personal soldiers.
"I have long known that this Yu Dashuai is young, but I didn't expect to be so young, it is really terrifying."
Everyone in the party nodded in agreement.
"But Yu Ziyang, Yu Dashuai in person."
Yu Fei smiled slightly, and also replied:
"It's Ben Shuai, but it's difficult to make Li Sigong, Li Jieshuai?"
"It's the old man."
Yu Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about whether to kill this old man at this time, but if he was killed here, there would be no unified command of the party, although it would be easy to fight, but I don't know how much more time it would take.
Thinking of this, Yu Fei suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said with a smile:
"I don't know Li Jieshuai, why did he come from? Do you want to surrender? ”
Li Sigong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile:
"Yu Shuai is in vain, all kinds of old men can no longer care, as long as Yu Shuai retires, Lingyan Erzhou will be regarded as a meeting gift from the old man to Yu Shuai, otherwise..."
Yu Fei laughed and pointed at Li Sigong.
"Or what? Old horseman, even the land under your feet is the Tang Dynasty, calling you a handsome is to give you face, and you really kicked it? ”
Li Sigong was furious and shouted:
"Ignorant junior, when the old man was fighting, he didn't have you, since you don't know what to do, then don't leave when you come, hum."
After finishing speaking, he ignored Yu Fei, turned the horse's head and left.
After Li Sigong and the others walked away, the rampant expression on Yu Fei's face was closed, he smiled, and turned around and went back to the camp.
