The two sides collected their own troops and made a truce, and Li Tai also entered the southern city of Heyang surrounded by the masses.
This city, which haunted the monarchs and ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty, is not known for its majesty and steepness, but is a city built on the waterfront. Because of its special location, it is not a rammed foundation, but is made of rocks and wooden piles.
Linhuai Wang Yuan Xiaoyou had already led the other subordinate officials in the city to wait at the city gate, but he did not immediately catch up, stood in place and carefully observed for a while, until he was sure that the handsome and somewhat excessive young man who was surrounded by He Ruodun and others in the middle was the core of the team, and then strode up, and then clasped his fists and saluted from afar: "This one must be Li Kaifu, the Duke of Xihe, Li Kaifu's reputation has been heard for a long time, and today I am finally fortunate to see it, and his handsome demeanor is unparalleled in the world!"
"The king has praised it."
Li Tai had already heard He Ruodun and others talk about Yuan Xiaoyou, so he also smiled and said, "The last general and others were ordered to go east to fight for the thief Kuangyi, and it is really fortunate that the king can work together!" The subordinate generals told me that the city defense depends on the king's strength, and I am really grateful."
The group entered the city with greetings, and when they sat down in the military mansion, Yuan Xiaoyou said with a smile on his face: "I take the liberty of asking Li Kaifu, do you know Lu Rou and Lu Zigang? Is his family okay in Kansai today?"
"Lu Zigang is my cousin, how can I not know it? When he entered Kansai at the beginning of the year, he relied on his cousin and other relatives and friends to help him, so that he could gain a foothold in his hometown and have the opportunity to make contributions. My cousin's family now lives in Chang'an, peaceful inside and outside, and everyone is envious.
When Li Tai heard this, he said with a smile, and he was also a little curious about what this Yuan Xiaoyou had to do with his cousin Lu Rou.
"It's not just a reason, it's really deep!"
When Yuan Xiaoyou heard this, the smile on his face became more warm and kind, and he talked about his relationship with Lu Rou's family. It turned out that he was the uncle of Lu Rou's mother, Yuan's family, and his title of King Linhuai was also because Lu Rou's father-in-law had no children and attacked his brother's lordship.
Hearing that the relationship between them was so close, Li Tai made a more respectful gesture towards Yuan Xiaoyou, after all, his cousin's face still had to be given.
However, private relations are private relations, and official affairs belong to official affairs, especially now that they are still at the forefront of the war between the two countries. After climbing the relationship, Li Tai quickly brought the topic back to business, and the first thing he needed to know was naturally the current personnel situation in Heyang South City.
Yuan Xiaoyou is also a person who knows how to observe faces, and he did not slack off on the relationship he had just knotted, and he also had a correct attitude to explain everything in the city one by one.
Originally, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Heyang Nancheng and its left near Luocheng and other cities, the core of which was the thousands of elite Jinyang soldiers under Xue Guyan, but now they are all scattered due to the defeat of Jingu City.
After He Ruodun and others entered the city, in order to delay the attack of the defenders of the city north of the river bridge, they repatriated thousands of soldiers from Hebei, and at the same time, the soldiers and civilians in the city were also scattered. Up to now, with the appeal of Yuan Xiaoyoujiu as the governor of this realm, there are still nearly 2,000 soldiers in the city.
Most of these soldiers are locals in Henan, although they are called soldiers, but in fact they are only the township soldiers recruited in Heluo Township, and they have not experienced systematic military training, even if they are organized and armed, they can only use some simple short-edged weapons, and basically have no combat effectiveness.
The Eastern Wei court was more afraid of the local development of armed forces in Henan, and many city defenses, including the three cities of Heyang, were basically based on the Jinyang soldiers and the Hebei Prefecture soldiers and the Haoqiang troops.
But these people have no local feelings for the Heluo area, whether it is Hou Jing and other Beizhen military leaders, or Gao Aocao and other Hebei heroes before, they often destroy more in Henan and build less.
Therefore, when Xue Guyan's main force was disabled and the Hebei soldiers were also expelled, the remaining soldiers and civilians on this side had no resistance to the occupation of Heyang Nancheng by the Western Wei people, but they did not welcome Wang Shi with pot pulp, probably because they knew that the Western Wei Dynasty was poor and weak, and they were too lazy to express their stance because they were thinking that they would have to get out of the country in a short time.
In addition to these troops, there was also an important part of the battle with the Eastern Wei, that is, the captured materials, and the capture in the southern city of Heyang would certainly not disappoint Li Tai.
When he saw Yuan Xiaoyou take out the volume of storage material book, Li Taifang imitated
The Buddha saw a group of Gao Ao Cao standing in front of him, waiting for the review. Although Gao Aocao did not enter this city until he died, he still existed here in another form, and there were many of them.
Long before the arrival of Li Tai's men, Hu Lujin, who was in charge of guarding Heyang, had proposed a plan to join forces with the men and horses of the Han Rail Institute who went to Yingchuan to suppress the Henan rebels, and this plan also included the idea of intercepting Wang Sizheng's Jingzhou army and the Guanxi men and horses of the Western Wei Dynasty.
Although this plan has not yet been fully implemented, the relevant material preparations have already begun.
The reason why Xue Guyan reacted so fiercely to Li Taijin's knocking on Heluo and used all his men and horses to attack and kill him was because if the Heyang people wanted to put themselves into the Henan battlefield, they had to ensure that the situation in the Heluo area was relatively stable, otherwise the people and horses here would not dare to leave the three cities of Heyang.
Since there is such a plan, Heyang Nancheng, as the most important fortress on the south bank of the Yellow River, has naturally become the best choice for the front station of materials to be transported to the south.
Therefore, there are nearly 300,000 stones of grain and grain accumulated in Heyang South City, and there are countless kinds of ordnance. There are hundreds of crossbows used to defend the city alone, and there are hundreds of them stored in the warehouse, because Hu Lujin plans to wait until the end of the turmoil in Henan, and then adjust the overall defense of Heluo according to the performance of various places in the turmoil process, and add some defensive strongholds.
But now these materials are cheap Li Tai, which makes him feel more and more that the war with the Eastern Wei is really a promising thing, of course, the premise is to be able to win, if it is the battle of Pishan in the old years, it can make people vomit blood and autism.
Although the accumulation of materials here is very rich, Li Tai Youzhong also sees a hidden crisis, that is, will the Eastern Wei people stationed here let him smoothly swallow and digest these materials?
It is certain that the Eastern Wei Dynasty is richer than the Western Wei, but its material accumulation has definitely not reached the level of inexhaustibility. Last year's Battle of Yubi, Gao Huan sent a big wave, and Wei Xiaokuan and other Hedong armies have been full of hiccups so far. Now Henan is in turmoil, and I don't know how much material input is needed to fill this big hole.
The large amount of ordnance and materials accumulated here in the southern city of Heyang cannot be quickly replenished by requisitioning ordinary households, which represents the war potential of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the next period. Whether it is Heyang South City or these materials, the enemy troops here must do their best to snatch them back.
Of course, Li Tai will not take out the things that fell into his pocket, and after realizing that the enemy's counterattack will inevitably be more fierce in the future, this time he really has to give up his illusions and prepare for battle.
Compared with the river bridge fixed on the river, the enemy's boats and boats need to be more carefully defended.
However, it was too difficult to set up a line of defense without holes along the long riverbank, so Li Tai chose a few convenient places for boats and ships to land and fight on the shore, and used fences and trenches to pull up a relatively simple fortification, and moved those large bed crossbows out of the warehouse and erected them on the riverbank defenses to attack the enemy's boats.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
is to decide to send troops, and Dugu Xin will definitely be brought together, and there is no one or two months between this round trip. At that time, Li Tai was only afraid that he would really dig out the Bohai Bay.
In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms after this, it is really not who is stronger, but whose mess is more resistant. Many contradictions are irreconcilable, and whoever can't hold on first will collapse first.
Of course, Li Tai is not without friendly forces that can be cited, such as Han Xiong and other powerful forces in Henan, they themselves do not belong to the core force of the hegemon, and they also pay more attention to the change and development of power in the Heluo region.
However, these forces are too fragmented and scattered, and there is no prestige enough to pinch them together for the task of leader, and it is still a bit unrealistic to expect them to be reliable reinforcements, but it is better than nothing.
So after a little weighing, Li Tai sent three messengers to different places to spread the news that he had taken the southern city of Heyang, in addition to the Bafu and Li Bizhong's army, there were also Henan troops who would attack Yiyang.
In addition to informing the Bafu of the state of the battle, the letter to the overlord also indicated that he was ready to continue the offensive to the north and try to implement the previous battle plan. The report to the commander of the Chinese army naturally shows that the task assigned by the commander has been successfully completed, Lao Tzu has blocked Heyang, and the enemy army here cannot leak at all, as for what to do next, I have to ask the commander for instructions.
For the Henan army, it is much simpler, Lao Tzu accidentally did a big arsenal, if you want to buy zero yuan to arm your own troops, then hurry up and scatter the girl!
