Li Jie wasn't afraid that these Shatuo soldiers would be able to break through Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou City is not better than Chang'an, although the city wall is slightly shorter, and it is not very strong, but it has an urn city, which has an advantage over conventional siege warfare, not to mention that the other party is still a group of barbarian cavalry who do not know the siege strategy.

He was afraid that these people would turn around and flee, and plunder those small towns along the way, causing the people to suffer unjustified disasters.

In fact, it was only two hours from the discovery of Zhai Ji's plan to loot Jiangzhou to the implementation, where did he have time to make a comprehensive arrangement.

I'm afraid that at this time, Helian Qinglian's camp has not been attacked, right?

But the situation is urgent, and I can only use this urn to catch turtles, capture thieves and capture kings, and a series of tricks to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

Fortunately, there was no danger, killing these three canal leaders to make their group of dragons leaderless, and before they could launch a new canal leader, he used verbal threats to deter the group of small leaders, and he finally completely held these 20,000 Shatuo cavalry in his hands!

At present, although there is no shortage of horses and cavalry in Datang. But when it comes to the elite cavalry, it belongs to the first Shatuo cavalry!

The so-called slave soldiers are monitored by the army in peacetime and distributed with weapons in wartime.

And once these people enter the Guannai, even if they rebel and defect, there is not much danger, after all, there is no supply of food and grass, and the walls of the Guannei Prefecture are not short, except for plundering some small towns and mountain villages, they can only surrender to Huangchao.

But will the Yellow Nest accept them?

Li Jie shook his head.

Now that Huang Chao has not been able to capture Chang'an for a long time, he is in a hurry, and he is rashly accepting such a group of disobedient soldiers, I am afraid that not only will I waste the already small amount of food, but I will always guard against this group of man-made rebellions, even if I have the heart, I am powerless to collect them.

Moreover, Li Jie naturally didn't want this situation to happen, how could he make this mistake of being bitten by a wolf?

"Tame slowly, if they can survive the pass..."

At this time, a Japanese man appeared in front of him silently and presented a bamboo tube.

He unfolded it and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

On the day that the three brothers and sisters arrived in Fengxiang, they found out the secret place where Zheng Jin's father, Ximen Sigong, was imprisoned, and after rescuing him, Zheng Zheng killed the envoy sent by Huang Chao to threaten him that night, and had already begun to gather Longyou's troops to assemble, and in a few days he might go to King Qin of Chang'an.

However, most of Longyou Dao are border troops, and their main responsibility is to defend Tibet, and they can only draw a small number of troops, but Zheng Zheng has great prestige in the central part of the court, and is proficient in strategy, as soon as he makes a move, he is afraid that the pressure on Huangchao will become even greater.

Otherwise, how could Huang Chao's arrogant personality do the trick of hijacking someone's father-in-law?

In Huang Chao's heart, he was afraid of the three of them.

One is Zheng Jin, one is Song Wei, and the other is Yang Fuguang.

As for the governor of Yangzhou, Gao Yu...

Gao Biao has been frightened by him, and is looking for various reasons to shirk the order of the Daming Palace, it is said that he is obsessed with Taoist alchemy and thinks about immortality.

"Old thing with no eggs!"

Li Jie cursed secretly.

He discussed with Meng Zhaotu, and ordered Helian Qing to recruit envoys for the Jiangzhou camp, and the Jiangzhou Assassin Shi was the marching Sima, leading the headquarters of 7,000 and Shatuo 20,000, and rushed to Tongzhou with the grain and grass collected along the road, and he continued to lead 500 guards all the way to Taiyuan.

In fact, with these 30,000 cavalry, plus a total of 20,000 horses left behind by Zheng Congyan and Tongzhou, a full 50,000 can already ensure that Chang'an is safe for the time being.

As long as Deng Tianwang, who was surrounded outside Tongzhou City, was not stupid, he would immediately withdraw to Tongguan as soon as he heard the news, and guard the only grain route that entered the pass for Huang Chao.

Or the way to escape.

For this reason, Meng Zhaotu also persuaded him to return to Chang'an, because everyone knew that as soon as Li Jie left, the only person who could stand on the city tower and shock the whole army was Li Yu, the emperor himself!

But Li Jie's mentality has changed at this time, and the purpose is no longer how to keep Chang'an, but how to destroy Huangchao's army!

If it is just to relieve the siege, let Huang Chao calmly withdraw from the Guannai, and then let it develop and grow, and poison the world, I am afraid that even if he has a historical understanding far beyond this era, he will be powerless.

Therefore, more people must be contacted to turn the outside of Chang'an City into the death place of Huangchao!

He has an immature plan, but Huang Chao inadvertently helped him solve most of it, if he can't seize this opportunity, he is afraid that even if Datang survives this crisis, the next crisis may come at any time.

"For Datang!"

After sending away Helian Qing and the 30,000 soldiers, Li Jie only stayed in Jiangzhou for one day before continuing north.

As he continued northward, all the state capitals along the way received his royal decrees.

As long as the grain and grass troops are in place, it is not difficult to open up the military and grain routes between Chang'an and Tongzhou.

Huangchao's hundreds of thousands of troops are indeed terrifying, but they do not yet have the strength to surround the huge Chang'an into an iron bucket.

When he came to a small town only a few dozen miles away from Taiyuan, he finally waited for the Sanshang brothers and sisters who were chasing after him.

The news brought back was mixed.

The worry is that although Zheng Zheng got rid of the hostage of Huangchao, Fengxiang's troops first lost a lot because of the reinforcement of Tongguan, and then the envoys of the military towns of Longyou were still holding a wait-and-see attitude, and there were not many people who responded to King Qin, and only less than 20,000 people had been gathered.

Since these people have all kinds of thoughts, it is difficult to twist them into a rope, and after Zheng Zheng weighed it, in order to be safe, he planned to temporarily recruit a part of the border troops stationed at Yanmen Pass.

This time I brought a letter, which is to ask Li Jie to agree to this matter.

Of course, this letter is divided into two, and one has been sent to Daming Palace.

Li Jie thought about it, now that it is the cold of the New Year, and the mountains are covered by heavy snow in Tubo, it will generally only invade in winter after autumn, so he agreed.

The good news is that after Gao Silun joined forces with Helian Qing in Tongzhou, Deng Tianwang really gave up the idea of besieging Tongzhou, and withdrew the army to Tongguan on the same day, and honestly guarded the retreat for Huangchao.

And because of this, Helian Qing unceremoniously drove 20,000 Shatuo slave soldiers to be cannon fodder in front, and at the cost of losing 7,000 slave soldiers, he broke through the defense line set up by Huangchao outside the Qixia Gate without danger, and transported 100,000 stones of extremely precious grain and grass into it.

"Whew!"

Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

100,000 stone of grain and grass is not much, but at least ten days and a half months will not starve to death.

And the most important thing is that morale will be greatly boosted, plus the 20,000 horses brought in by Helianqing, the danger of Chang'an has been temporarily lifted.

There are still a few days before the end of the year, as soon as the year passes, as the weather warms, the two sides will return to the original starting point, and the balance of victory and defeat has begun to tilt towards Datang.

He looked into the distance, and it was Taiyuan.

The land of the Li family's Longxing, where the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty is located.

Further north was the Saiwai Tatars, where there was a fine cavalry that he desperately wanted to get, which was one of the teams that swept away the many feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty in his plan, and it was also the first step to return the Tang Dynasty to its prosperity.

He looked to the east again.

There is also an extremely difficult bone to gnaw there - Lu Long Li Keju!

As long as these two forces can be brought under his command, he will have the confidence to cross the north and south of the Tang Dynasty, and have the sharpest knife to break the division of feudal towns for more than 100 years!
