Don't go! From now on, I will be a Tang person!
The Shaanxi war report quickly spread to Hezhong Province.
Li Ye was both excited and a little lost, Li Yun lived up to his trust and blocked Wang Chongshi and Liu Zhijun head-on.
However, with Li Yun's 13,000 troops and Feng Xing's 10,000 Zhaoxin army, they still could not defeat the Shaanxi and Liang army, but let them fight and retreat into Yuzhou.
20,000 troops were not enough to break through the fortified city of Yuzhou, which was heavily defended by the Liang army, so it could only be besieged.
However, Li Ye's first step in strategy has been completed.
"Your Majesty, Li Keyong has already launched the Great War of the Netherworld." Xue Guangheng led the scouts to report excitedly.
In the hall, Gao Xingzhou and Yang Shihou looked at Li Ye eagerly.
The Liang army at Yindiguan was no longer able to support the states of Jiang and Xi along the Fenshui line.
Shaanxi's Liang army was even more firmly surrounded in the city of Yuzhou, and there were no worries.
Zhu Wen's army was in the east, and the Liang army in the river was pinned down in various ways, and the Liang army was in the river for more than half a year, killing too much, plundering too much, and was unpopular.
The anointed land in the river stood in front of Li Ye as if he was not wearing clothes.
"General Gao, General Yang!" Li Ye said loudly.
"The last general!" The second general half-knelt in front of Li Ye.
Now, these two people are the sharpest spears in Li Ye's hands.
"General Gao's 20,000-strong army attacked Xizhou, and General Yang's 20,000-strong army attacked Jiangzhou!" It's okay in Xizhou, I haven't heard of any well-known generals, but there is Zhang Guiben in Jiangzhou City.
Zhang Guihou's performance has always been fresh in Li Ye's memory, and I think this Zhang Guiben is not an ordinary person.
So after thinking about it again, let the older Yang Shihou fight.
"The last general obeys!" The two of them accepted the order.
The net has been cast, and as for how many fish can be caught, it depends on creation.
And Li Ye, out of safety considerations, did not dare to leave Hezhong Mansion before Shaanxi was defeated, otherwise the Liang army smuggled from Shaanzhou or Jinzhou and copied the back road, and the Tang army would be at risk of being trapped in the river.
If Hezhong Mansion is impregnable, it is equivalent to the east of the Yellow River of the Tang Army, and the north of Shaanxi has a foothold.
In Li Ye's conception, all the Jin, Jiang, Xi and other prefectures in the east of Fenshui could be given to Li Keyong, so that the power of the Jin army would be deeply embedded in Hezhong Province and occupy all Taihang Mountains, forming a flanking attack on Zezhou and Luoyang, and sharing the pressure of the Liang army on the Tang court.
The two salt ponds in Anyi and Xie County were originally Tang Ting's money bags, but after being taken away by Wang Chongrong, Tang Ting was so poor that he couldn't even cover Guanzhong.
Now it's just Li Ye recovering the old accounts.
Li Ye simply changed Hezhong Mansion to Xingtang Mansion, the original Puzhou remained unchanged, and greatly increased the city wall of Xingtang Mansion, trying to make Xingtang Mansion the strongest fortress in the river.
Xingtang Mansion and reviving the Tang Dynasty.
The two large salt ponds outside the Xingtang Mansion are the fulcrum of the revival of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, Li Ye also sent a large number of scouts and auxiliary troops to rein in Heyang, Zhaoyi, and Hedong to escape the war.
The whole north has become a pot of porridge, from Hedong to Zhaoyi, from Hezhong to Shaanxi, and the most attractive place is Luoyang.
Guanzhong also has a certain attraction because of tranquility, coupled with the Tang court's promise to distribute grain and divide the fields for cultivation, the people who have lost their land and homes are rolling in, especially the people in the river, who are deeply poisoned by the Liang army, and the war is endless, staying in the homeland, can only become the slaves of the Liang army.
Zhu Wen was quite benevolent to the people in the core areas of Xuanwu, Zhongwu, and Yicheng, and did not pay high taxes, but he did everything he could to plunder the newly occupied Tianping, Taining, and Hezhong regions.
The Liang army controlled the state city, but could not control the county seat, and even some county commanders who were interested in the Tang court took the initiative to help the displaced people migrate.
In just four or five days, Xingtang Mansion gathered 60,000 displaced people with their families.
The drought in Guanzhong was alleviated, which gave Li Ye the confidence to accept them, and opened porridge sheds along the way, and ordered the auxiliary army to maintain order.
As soon as July passes, the heat in the northern land gradually turns into autumn.
The wheat fields in the Puzhou Basin are golden, like a tide rising and falling in the cooling wind.
Li Ye did not stop doing anything, and ordered the auxiliary army to attack on all fronts, and the battalions were scattered to grab grain from Jiang, Jin, Ci, Xi, Shaanxi, and Yu.
The crops in the fields in these places had long been regarded as forbidden by the Liang army, and the people were slaughtered at will.
The auxiliary army may not be able to deal with the elite of the Liang army in the state city.
But there is no problem in dealing with the miscellaneous troops in the county, these auxiliary armies were originally redundant troops cut from various towns in Guanzhong, and they have some combat effectiveness.
The miscellaneous soldiers in the county town were originally also surrendered troops from all over the river, not the Liang army with red and Miao Zheng, and often raised the banner of the Tang Dynasty, and the other party was instigated, and even worse, they directly pulled the flag to rebel, turned against each other, and became the leading party.
The south, north, and east of Xingtang Mansion have been broken through.
The role of the people's heart and the army's spirit was reflected at this time.
The auxiliary army rolled like a snowball, accommodating young and strong rebels along the way, and among the reckless mountains in the river, I don't know how many people who hid the atrocities of the Liang army, as well as the Hezhong army who was unwilling to surrender to the Liang army.
They all came towards the banner of the word "Tang" erected high in the Xingtang Mansion.
Food continued to flow into Xingtang Mansion, and the population also poured in like a tide.
The smell of wheat fills the city, making everyone's heart full of life.
With food, not only did the displaced people settle down, but the Tang army and auxiliary armies also settled down.
The mighty Qinling Mountains are like a giant dragon over Tongguan, over Yuzhou, Shaanzhou, and winding into Luoyang.
The Yellow River, which has been noisy for thousands of years, has been affected by the drought in the upper reaches and has reduced its flow a lot, but its momentum is still like a dragon and a horse.
Maojin Gudu, an auxiliary army came quietly from the north.
The Liang army in Shaanzhou was brought to support Yuzhou, but the troops were insufficient, and one on the north bank of the river was the territory of the Liang army, so the defense gradually relaxed.
"You can go now." Sima Zhao Kuan of the 13th Battalion of the Auxiliary Army looked at Shaanzhou Road in the twilight.
Du Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, "What is Sima doing?" “
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, what does it say in the commentary, being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, phew, Zhu Wen is a fart Han, he is the number one thief in the world, you think of him like this, and he is reluctant to stay in Datang, maybe one day he will become a fine work, and he will harm me and other brothers to eat and hang down." Zhao Kuo pretended to be generous.
Du Yanqiu smiled bitterly, can he still go back at this time?
Others don't know Zhu Wen, doesn't he know yet? The outside is wide and the inside is taboo, even if you can survive, you won't want to have a bright future in the future.
"How can you be like a girl, leave quickly while no one sees it now, and when you return to Bianzhou, you will be a big official again." Zhao Kuo said roughly.
Du Yanqiu took two steps forward, and the third step really couldn't be taken, and he turned around and said, "I'm leaving, what should you do?" It's staring at it. “
"It's a big deal to cut his post for the people, and Ben Sima's military exploits are enough to change his life together." Zhao Kuanjie threw the wine bag on his waist and threw it over, "That's it, you save drinking on the road, and Ben Sima's little military furniture is all drunk for you." “
Du Yanqiu caught the wine bag, pulled out the stopper, poured it hard, threw the wine bag into the sky, and turned around and walked back.
Zhao Kuo didn't know why, "You are ....."
"Don't go, from now on, Du Yanqiu is a Tang man!"
Zhao Kuo's face showed a touch of sorrow, "You stay in Datang, what should you do with the Bianzhou family?" “
Du Yanqiu laughed, "I was adopted by a wealthy family in Bianzhou since I was a child, like a slave, I ran away from home to join the army when I was a little older, and I have been in the army for more than these years, and I have not married, where did I come from?" “
Zhao Guangguang said happily: "Okay, good, Your Majesty is thirsty for talent, with your ability, the future is limitless." “
Du Yanqiu took his hand and said: "If it weren't for my brother's care, my Du Yanqiu would have died a long time ago, if my brother didn't give up, we would have become brothers!" “
