Capture the city of Jiangzhou

When Li Ye entered the city, the city was on fire, and the Jin army killed people without scruples, whether it was the common people or the remnants of the Liang army.

Disasters are as difficult to contain as fire.

Li Ye sighed deeply, but Tang Jun's performance made him happy, he did not participate in the killing, and even the Jing Yuan Army was behaving under Zhang Lian's constraints.

Seeing that the army in the southwest did not kill people indiscriminately, the people fled one after another. Li Ye organized manpower to appease them, and some Liang troops were also mixed in, as long as they laid down their weapons, Li Ye did not embarrass them.

The Jin army was quickly burned from the northern city to the southern city.

Some people who killed red-eyed people actually attacked Yang Shihou's array and were killed by Yang Shihou mercilessly.

Dozens of Jin troops fell in front of the array, although they poured a basin of cold water on the Jin army on the top, but it also made them begin to be hostile to the Tang army, gathered in front of the array, scolded and scolded, the contradiction gradually expanded, some low-level officers participated, and the atmosphere gradually tensed.

In addition, the previous conversation was unpleasant, and someone instigated it, which soon turned into tension.

By the time Li Ye noticed the changes in Nancheng, it had already evolved into a confrontation between the two armies.

"Stop!" Li Ye took his personal guards and galloped into Yang Shihou's array.

At this time, he didn't dare to stand in front of the Liang army, if someone had a ghost in his heart, he would explain it here.

The Tang army withdrew its swords and guns, and most of the Jin army also recovered.

But among them, there were still some bloodshot Jin army soldiers, glaring at Li Ye, not only did not stop their hands, but their eyes became even more vicious.

At this time, there were still remnants of the Liang army in the city, and the Liang general Zhang Guiben had not yet been caught.

Shouts of killing and screams came from all corners, as well as the sound of houses collapsing in the fire.

"Presumptuous!" There was a loud shout from the Jin army, and I saw two Jin generals riding horses and slowly walking in front of the two armies, and it was actually Li Siyuan and Shi Jianjiao.

Li Siyuan has a high status in the Jin army, and no one dares to disobey his shout. Tensions between the two armies eased.

Immediately, Li Siyuan and Shi Jianjiao dismounted and bowed in front of Li Ye, "The soldiers are rude, disturb Your Majesty, and the last general will make amends on their behalf." ”

"Thanks to the two generals, I don't know where King Jin is now?" Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Siyuan replied: "The king of Jin is still outside the city, and the general of the special order will come to restrain the soldiers. ”

Jiangzhou City is almost burning, and now it's time to restrain it?

However, Li Ye is still quite interested in Li Siyuan, like Li Keyong and Li Cunxuan, Li Siyuan is almost sinicized, and his demeanor and tone of speech are alive and well.

"Jiangzhou has been captured, and the people in the city must not be killed."

"The last general will remember His Majesty's teachings." Li Siyuan arched his hand.

Originally, Li Ye also counted on sharing some of the grain in the city treasury.

But the Jin army had already finished the looting, and there were even some people who led and looted the people's property.

Staying in the city was an eyesore, and Li Ye simply withdrew from the city with the people.

Liang General Zhang Guiben disappeared without a trace.

The city was so chaotic that finding a person was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and after the city was breached, the Jin army panicked and looted, and a small part of the Liang army broke through from the east gate.

It wasn't until the evening that Li Keyong and his son appeared, and took Guo Chongtao and more than a dozen personal guards to Li Ye's big tent.

After the salute, Li Keyong said: "Now that the Liang army in the river has been cleared, but the thieves in Zhaoyi and Qinzhou are still blazing, and the minister implores His Majesty to wave the army to ask for it." "I didn't expect to come to ask for help.

The situation in Zhaoyi was chaotic, Li Ye was reluctant to go, and there were 30,000 elite Liang troops of Ding Hui and Zhang Cunjing in Qinzhou, and Li Ye was even more reluctant to go.

Wang Chongshi and Liu Zhijun in Yuzhou have not solved it, and it has always been a hidden danger.

Of course, Li Ye can understand Li Keyong's mood.

The terrain of Qinzhou is as steep as Yindiguan, and it is connected with Luzhou in the Taihang Mountains, like a thorn, stuck between Taiyuan and Luzhou. Yindiguan is just a pass, which needs rear support, while Qinzhou is connected by mountains and rivers, the terrain is dangerous, and the rivers are vertical and horizontal, so it can be completely self-sufficient.

Ding Hui was extremely discerning, and the withdrawal of troops to this place was obviously a plan to defend to the death.

The voluntary surrender of Cai Xun, the assassin of Qinzhou, is equivalent to opening another door panel in Taiyuan.

"The king of Jin is the humerus of the country, he has always been loyal, I don't hide it, there is a big drought in Guanzhong, the grain is not harvested, not even half of last year, I have no choice, it is called attacking the river, in fact, it is eaten in the river, Qinzhou relies on the danger of mountains and rivers, even if you and I join forces, the war will be protracted, when the food is exhausted, the soldiers are exhausted, Zhu Wen once again led the army westward, how to stop the king of Jin?" Li Ye simply said bluntly.

Zhu Wen is now unified in the Central Plains and the rich land of Shandong, and his ability to return blood is definitely faster than that of Hedong and Guanzhong.

Since February of the first year of Tang Dashun, the Jin army has been fighting non-stop, first fighting with Tang Ting, Helian Duo, and Li Congwei.

Then he fought with Wang Rong of Chengde, and was severely injured by Wang Rong, losing 20,000 troops.

Then Li Cunxiao rebelled and besieged Xingzhou for more than a year.

Just pressed Li Cunxiao, a series of big battles broke out in the river, and the Jin army fought again.

The domineering spirit that dominates the world when defeating the Yellow Nest is worn off little by little.

Now even Zhang Guiben's 5,000 Liang troops can't be stationed in Jiangzhou.

The veteran of the division was so tired that he didn't count it in his heart, and he still had to fight.

Guo Chongtao arched his hand and said: "It is precisely because Zhu Wen will go west in the future, so he must take Qinzhou before he comes!" ”

Li Ye looked at him, then at Li Keyong's father and son, and was silent.

At this time, Li Juchuan stood up and said to Li Ke with an arched hand: "It's better to fight Qinzhou than to fight Luoyang!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Li Keyong, Li Cunqiao, and Guo Chongtao looked at Li Juchuan at the same time.

Li Juchuan pointed to the Dongdu area on the animal skin map in the tent and said: "Luoyang is the heart of the world, it has been carefully managed by Zhang Quanyi over the years, the people are rich and the country is rich, and attacking this place can not only solve the risk of our army's lack of food, but also go to Zhu Wen's arm, shake the world, and greatly hit Zhu Wen's arrogance." ”

After saying this, his fingers slid to the Qinzhou area, "On the other hand, Qinzhou, sandwiched between Luzhou, Taiyuan, and Jinzhou, is surrounded by enemies on all sides, if the King of Jin is in a hurry, the city is united, but it is a death battle, and it is a long time to delay, with heavy casualties, Qinzhou was originally under the rule of the King of Jin, if it is tempted by kindness in the past, it will be chaotic, and the King of Jin will calmly discuss, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Rick lit up with his one-eyed light.

But next to him, Guo Chongtao coughed twice, shook his head and said: "The danger of Luoyang's mountains and rivers is still above Qinzhou, Zhang Quanyi has ruled Luoyang for nearly ten years, the soldiers and the people are attached, the military heart is stable, and the reinforcements from Bianzhou can arrive in ten days." ”

Li Ye frowned, Guo Chongtao was right.

In twenty days at most, reinforcements from Bianzhou will continue to arrive.

Don't look at Li Ye's triumphant song all the way now, it's because he didn't meet the main force with Zhu Wen.

Speaking of which, both sides know that there will be no follow-up cooperation.

Li Keyong will not fight Luoyang for Tang Ting, and similarly, Li Ye will not fight Qinzhou for Li Keyong.

Both sides are based on their own interests.

Even if there is no thorn in Qinzhou, it is impossible to fight Luoyang in the current state of the Jin army.

Next, both sides had a very tacit understanding and no longer talked about military strategy, and after a while of miscellaneous greetings, Li Keyong led people back to Jiangzhou.

Li Ye sighed in his heart, without Li Ke, Tang Jun would be lonely and difficult to sing.

Change is always faster than planned.

However, the three-step strategy can successfully complete two steps, which is basically acceptable.

On the way back to the Tang Mansion, he went to Anyi, and a scout from the south rushed over, bowing in front of Li Ye, "Report to Your Majesty, General Zhou will join Du Yanqiu, Zhao Kuo and other departments, and attack Shaanzhou, Xin'an, and the west of Luoyang, there is no hindrance!" ”
