Trim first, then attack!
We will talk about it later if we fight Xingyuan, but if you take Xing and Yangzhou, you will prove to Li Jiqi that the imperial court has the strength to fight you.
If there is any change in Li Jiqi in the future, Li Ye can give Xingyuan a two-ribbed knife.
Now he is an ally with Xichuan Wang Jian, but Hanzhong is too important to Sichuan and Shu, which is equivalent to pinching his trouser belt in someone else's hand, Wang Jianneng has no idea?
But there are two sides to this. If Guan Zhongqiang is strong, Xingyuan is the trouser belt in Shu, but now it is Shu Zhongqiang, and Xingyuan is the trouser belt in Guanzhong.
After a few days of recuperation in Fengxiang, Zhang Chengye arrived with 20,000 auxiliary troops, and the lost troops of each department were replenished.
Li Ye recalled the cavalry of Zhou Yunyi's division.
The Qiwang Mansion has now become Li Ye's meeting room, and the generals of the Praetorian Guard and the Tiance Army are lined up in turn, and all the first level have been summoned.
Looking at so many unknown faces, Li Ye felt a sense of pride in his heart for no reason, this is his own family background, and it is also the foundation of the rise of Datang.
The happiest is not Li Ye, but Li Sizhou, Wei Wulang, Huang Feng and other new leaders.
Everyone is still so young, and it is the time when the blood is just full of vitality.
Many of them still have injuries on their bodies.
Of course, there are also people who are not young, such as Yang Shihou, Meng Fang and others, and there are some heads in the hall who are close to forty, who are veterans of a hundred battles at a glance, their eyes are calm, and their whole body is full of a fierce aura.
They are placed in other forces, and they also belong to young generals.
The twilight Datang is in need of these young blood activations.
Li Ye coughed, and the hall fell silent, "I was in Chang'an last year, and I was forced to be helpless by the traitor Li Maozhen, and a year later, with the power of you, I will cut off the fierce rebellion, and I will thank you in the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Ye got up from the soft couch and saluted everyone in the hall.
Li Maozhen is not dead, and his family members are all in the city, Li Ye did not move them, it is not a killing, but only to cut off Li Maozhen's forces.
"This is a matter within the general's share, Your Majesty will kill us."
The generals in the palace also returned the salute to Li Ye.
After saluting, Li Ye said angrily: "Fengxiang is established, the northwest is at your fingertips, those who do not respect the Tang Dynasty, please ask for it for me!" Gao Xingzhou and Yang Jian listen to the order! ”
"The last general!" The two generals came out together, half-kneeling on the ground.
"Yang Jian attacked Xingzhou, Gao Xingzhou attacked Yangzhou!" According to Li Ye's previous thoughts, he didn't want the generals to lead the army alone, but now that his prestige is high, the system is almost formed, and Gao Xingzhou and Yang Jian are both loyal people.
Everything has a beginning, and in the future the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ye cannot be exhaustive.
Gao Xingzhou was extremely excited, "Within fifteen days, the end will definitely take Yangzhou!" ”
There was no large army in Yangzhou, and there were no well-known generals to guard it, so it was still possible within fifteen days.
However, just from Fengxiang to Yangzhou, it will take almost ten days, and five days to attack the city, and the casualties will definitely be great.
There is a case in everything, this year's famous generals are like carp crossing the river, and if you don't know what kind of characters will pop up, "What I want is Xingzhou that is as intact as possible, not Xingzhou in ruins, General Gao can't be impatient." ”
"The last general commands."
Yang Jian attacked Fengxiang this time, and was the first to break the city, which surprised Li Ye, since he had this ability, it was definitely a waste if he didn't need it.
If you want to say that Li Ye is most willing to cultivate, it must be the person who followed him first. It's human nature.
Li Ye glanced at Zhou Yunyi, this guy was young, and his face was indifferent.
What people say, don't talk nonsense with Zhou Yunyi.
"Zhou Yunyi listens to the order, your troops will join Ashina Zhenyan and attack Qing, Ning and other places to the west."
"The last general commands."
There is a Longzhou iron-headed baby Li Jizhong left, and Li Ye is ready to cook it himself.
The army gathered, and the faces of the Praetorian Guards and Tiance Sergeants flashed with excitement. The Ning Army felt a little out of place, and it was impossible to completely integrate them in such a short period of time.
Gao Xingzhou took 4,000 men from his headquarters and 2,000 cavalry to the east.
It's a bit reluctant for such a few people to attack a state, but at present, the Shannan states are in a state of panic because of Fengxiang's recovery, and Gao Xingzhou has the righteousness of the imperial court, and he has a great advantage in momentum.
Zhou Yunyi and Li Ye are not worried, the west of Pizhou is even weaker than the Shannan Prefectures.
Xingzhou is under Feng Xiang's nose, if there are three long and two short, Li Ye can quickly respond.
Li Ye stayed in Tuoba Cloud to defend Fengxiang, and he led an army of 20,000 into Longzhou.
The north of Fengxiang is about to be ravaged into ruins, but the west of Fengxiang is the green and yellow wheat waves surging, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the trees are green, just like the small Jiangnan in the northwest.
Even the vicinity of Chang'an has never been so vibrant.
The smoke is warm and moist.
In Li Ye's impression from later generations, the Loess Plateau is mostly an arid area with little rainfall, but this place is beyond Li Ye's cognition.
"Back then, Qin Xianggong was the capital here, and Daqin prospered from this, and now Your Majesty has this place, and Datang will also prosper." Li Juchuan sighed.
Whether it can prosper, Li Ye doesn't know, but this place is connected to Fengxiang and Qinzhou, if it can be managed well, it will be another granary.
No wonder Yang Chong was planning to exchange Pizhou for Qinzhou, and the two places were very different.
Li Ye secretly sighed that he had lost a lot.
It's no wonder that Li Jizhong wants to be an iron-headed baby, who is willing to give up such a good territory?
Not only Li Jizhong, in the first year of Baoying, the Tubo army invaded eastward, and most of Longyou was lost, but Longzhou was still the existence of the iron-headed baby, and the Tubo people could not attack it, bypassing Longzhou, taking Jingyuan in the north, and going down to Ning, before attacking Chang'an.
The reason why Tubo could not capture Longzhou was that a pass was built in the west of Longzhou in the Han Dynasty, called Longguan!
The six-year defense of Dazhong enabled Xue Kui to build a large earthquake pass on this basis.
Such an important place, if Li Ye does not take it down, the Fengxiang area will have no sense of security.
"Order the armies not to trample on the grain fields."
The city of Longzhou is vivid, and the head of the city is still fluttering with the big flag of Li characters.
I don't know if it's Li Jizhong's Li or Li Maozhen's Li.
20,000 troops attacked a large city defended by 10,000 people, which was somewhat reluctant.
But under the banner of the Son of Heaven, it represents the righteousness of the imperial court.
Li Jizhong can not bird the imperial court, but his soldiers are all children of Guanzhong, why is there some deterrent power in their minds?
As soon as the camp was set up, people were sent from the city, "General Li Jizhong is willing to Yongzhen Longzhou for His Majesty." ”
"Let Li Jizhong come to see me in person." Li Ye didn't want to talk nonsense.
Feng Xing sent the whole family to Chang'an to eliminate Li Ye's hostility towards him.
Yang Chongben also came to meet him in person.
Li Jizhong wanted Li Ye to give up Longzhou in a word, isn't it a pipe dream? In later generations, Zhao Da said well, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Longzhou is almost the relationship between Chang'an and Huazhou, and losing Longzhou is equivalent to losing half of Fengxiang.
Li Ye has not been so generous.
If Li Jizhong can really come to meet him like Yang Chongben, Li Ye may think highly of him.
However, not all martial artists can have Yang Chongben's vision, courage, and strategy.
The envoy went back, and the armor on the city wall of Longzhou became more tight.
"The last general, please take orders to attack the city!" Meng Fangtong was the first to stand up and ask for his life.
