Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1318 Entering Jinyang

On the tenth day of April, more and more soldiers gathered in Jinyang.

First, the main force of the Youguo Army arrived, followed by the various units of the Tielin Army, with more than 3 cavalry, and the momentum was huge. It was probably the first time in 28 years that so many foreign troops appeared around Jinyang after the Li Guochang and his son rebellion.

On April [-], the Battle of Luzhou broke out.

Zhang Wanjin, the deputy commander of the Huangjia Army in front of the hall, forced the strong men to join the army, and turned against the city.

Shilingguan Town captured An Yuanxin and captured Yangqu County, plundering the surrounding area.

Yang Yuanhan, a small school, gathered hundreds of local groups from prefectures and counties, and turned back according to Ningwu Pass.

In addition, the Yuci and Shouyang rebellions have subsided, the Loufan army rebellion has been suppressed, and most of the other armies have surrendered. The situation is much better than expected, and Li Keyong has made outstanding contributions.

On April [-]th, the Commander Shi Shucong of the Guanbei Daozhou Army arrived at Ningwu Pass with more than [-] people and attacked it fiercely.

Thousands of Fan soldiers from the Yinshan tribe surrounded the back, attacked from the north and the south, broke the army, and killed Yang Yuanhan.

The Kelan army was formed with Zuoshe, Xiongwei, Tingzhi and other troops and more than [-] troops from Lanshi, with Zhou Dewei as the envoy.

******
On April [-]th, Fu Cunshen led the troops to Sanjiaoyi, with the Tielin Army and Youguo Army as the main force, opened up the formation, and fought against the tens of thousands of soldiers brought by An Yuanxin.

Returning to the old place, I am full of emotions.

Now that Fu Cunshen has risen again, there are so many talents in the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia—he is much stronger than Fu Yanqing, who was very famous in the Five Dynasties. He has fought more than 200 battles in his life without losing a single one.

Another martial artist who talks about politics!
Shao Shude smiled happily.

The reason for choosing this target is that the old base of the Youguo Army is Liang Bing, who is relatively obedient, obedient, and very strong in combat effectiveness.

"Your Majesty." Fu Cunshen shook his head seriously, and said seriously, "This is all due to Your Majesty's Tianwei."

******
On the second day of May, Shao Shude arrived in Jinyang and entered through Changxia Gate.

Rough calculations show that there are now six Jin faction soldiers and horses of Wansheng Huangtou, Tiancheng, Datong, Baoning, Qingsai, and Kelan. A pretty big burden too.

Shao Shude is both happy and worried about his son's ambition, but overall he is happy.

Shao Shude sent Chen Cheng out of the city to greet him, and after sending Liu and others back to the Prince Jin's Mansion, he lived in He's Mansion by himself.

"Hedong gang of killers!" Looking at the two or three hundred old, weak and remnant captives left in Guancheng, Shao Shude smiled wryly, "Send them all to Beiping to repair the palace city."

At the same time, all the ministries were strictly instructed: after the death of King Jin, most of the armies had the act of strengthening their latins and recruiting troops. Now everything is forbidden. error.

Shao Shude really worked hard, but he didn't expect that the bigger the territory, the more unscrupulous troops would be surrendered.As soon as Hedong surrendered, the number even doubled directly.The total strength of the ten miscellaneous troops has reached 7 to [-], and most of them are veterans with rich experience in the battlefield. They cannot be dismissed even if they are dismissed, so I am worried that they will rebel.

On April [-]th, Shao Shude lowered the German tone: the two armies of silver guns and guards and golden guns merged into the Qingsai army, with Shi Jingrong as the envoy.

More than 20 years ago, he once dreamed of staying in Hedong and seizing this king's foundation.But at that time, the imperial court still had prestige, so it was impossible to hand over this fundamental importance to him.Sure enough, the prime minister Zheng Congxun later served as the governor of Hedong, and no one else had anything to do.

In recent years, Dinghui has recruited a group of new soldiers in Qizhou, Huangzhou, Anzhou and other places to complete the organizational system due to the death of some soldiers in battle and retirement.But on the whole, the combat effectiveness still exists, especially after the two battles of Yiding and Chengde, compared with those years when he was stationed in Qizhou, his combat effectiveness has improved, making him a very suitable target for annexation.

Ge Congzhou may not have any ideals, but he is really political. Shao Shude will give him another chance later.

An Yuanxin didn't even dare to defend Shiling Pass, and fled eastward with hundreds of cavalry, and was overtaken by Tielin Army in Wutai Mountain, and the veteran Xu Hao cut him off.

However, Shao Shude has been playing with surrendered soldiers and generals for almost ten years, and he has strong perseverance. He must find a way to deal with these surrendered soldiers, whether it is formal recruitment, war consumption or other methods.

He planned to attack the Youguo Army this year.

But he still hesitated, mainly because of two things.

Yang Xingmi secretly sent people to win him over before he was alive, but he was unwilling to betray Ding Hui.And when Xingmi passed away, he was even less interested in voting for Yang Wu.Now that Hedong has fallen and Chengde is about to perish, after much deliberation, he can only honestly carry the burden for Daxia.

Shao Shude had no interest in going around either, he was handling official business in He's house and meeting various officials.

These days, he is mostly a martial artist with muscles but no brains. Like an aggressive rooster, it is not easy to meet someone who talks about politics.It is even rarer to talk about politics and at the same time have some ideals and awareness.

On April 26, Shao Shude arrived at Shiling Pass with Feilong Army, Yin Anzhi and more than ten thousand Fan soldiers.

"Take his father! Recruit his mother!" Shao Shude said: "To send orders to Shi Jingrong and Shi Jiantang, I am not used to the stink of Luzhou warriors. If you dare to rebel, you will die and attack the city with all your strength! In addition, Zhou Dewei will be appointed In order to recruit envoys from all sides of Luzhou, Kelan, Qingsai Second Army, and all the troops in Lushatuo and Tuyuhun are under their control. We must pull down Luzhou and kill Zhang Wanjin. I will let the people of the world Look, don't try to negotiate conditions, I'm not used to them."

"Your Majesty, An Yuan's letter has been flattened, and now only Zhang Wanjin is left." Fu Cunshen said again: "Yesterday, Luzhou came to report that Zhang Wanjin had arrested Guo Chongtao, the promotion official of the Zhaoyi shogunate, and then sent him out of the city to tell him that he would surrender. , please be appointed as Luzhou Inspector."

"Do you want me to appease you?" Shao Shude sneered, "I don't want to!"

After finishing speaking, he personally took Fu Cunshen's hand and said: "Fu Qing has advanced troops very quickly this time, and has repeatedly defeated stubborn enemies. If there is no Qing, the situation in Taiyuan Mansion will continue to repeat itself."

Compared with more than 20 years ago, Jinyang has hardly changed, and it is even more dilapidated.

It was a speech of strength, but also a speech of determination.Recruiting and recruiting, until the end of the recruitment, the prestige is ruined, the whole territory is in flames, and the country is destroyed.

The soldiers of the Youguo Army have no problems and will not cause chaos, so what about the generals?

After Li Cunxu destroyed the Later Liang, he searched for and pacified Shu, and he was invincible.At this time, the Later Tang Dynasty also had the largest area under the jurisdiction of the Five Dynasties.

Shao Shude was taken aback, Fu Cunshen didn't seem like a flattering person.

It's not that you can't win.The main reason is that a rebellion, even if it does not form a chain reaction, will inevitably corrupt the place. You send troops to suppress it, and corrupt it again.Economically speaking, the loss is bleeding.Politically, it is also very bad.

On the 25th, the army pursued to Shiling Town and broke it again.

But with such monstrous power, Yang Li, a small school in Jinzhou, rebelled, Zhao Tai, a soldier in Xingzhou, rebelled, and Huang Fuhui, a soldier in Weizhou, rebelled...

If you count the four armies of Youguo, Weisheng, Yokono, and Pinglu, you can only say fuck me!

Not every emperor is qualified to say such tough words.

In fact, Ding Hui is old and has lost his ambition.Just this year, he also wrote to the imperial court, requesting the abolition of Qizhou Town.The imperial court promised to use a title to completely solve this problem left over from history.

An Yuanxin led the army to collapse to Yangqu, and the Tielin Army and Youguo Army pursued them. After two days of continuous attack, the remnants of An Army couldn't hold on and fled again.

"Your Majesty has always taught you to seek truth from facts." Fu Cunshen said: "Your Majesty took care of the affairs of the King of Jin in Jincheng City, and everyone in Hedong admired him. Therefore, since more than a month, most of the Jin army has surrendered, only Li Kening, Yang Yuanhan, Zhang Wanjin, An A few people including Yuan Xin rebelled. Zhou Dewei, the Kelan army, took the initiative to suppress the rebellion and killed the bandits, so as to keep the western front of Taiyuan Prefecture intact and the two prefectures of Lanshi and Shizhou stable. Therefore, I thought that it was His Majesty's demeanor that convinced the upper and lower Hedong, The merits of ministers and others are not worth mentioning."

The Fu Cun Inspection Department beheaded more than [-] people, captured more than [-] people, and the rest collapsed into the mountains, and they didn't bother to spend the price to search—the Tutuan villagers would secretly go home and farm the land with peace of mind. When Wu Fu is desperate, he will slowly return to society, or act as a businessman's guard, or serve as a stickman, and slowly wash his identity. If he waits for the amnesty, he will be relieved directly.

Why dare to oppose?It is a factor that cannot be ignored in the hope that the imperial court will appease and reach the sky in one step.

In the history of the Five Dynasties, they did not dare to move these surrendered troops.But if you don't move him, you must be mentally prepared to explode.

After Erlang defeated Li Maozhen, in the past half a year, his main task was to extinguish the rebellion in central Shu.Not only the remnant forces of Li Maozhen, but also the rebellion of the Qiang people and the barbarians. It was not until last month that the chaos was barely subsided, and the middle of Shu was rough and safe.

As soon as the two sides fought, the An army was defeated.

In less than ten days, the Anyuan Xinbu, which once had a team of tens of thousands of people, disappeared like this.

Ding Hui's deputy, Kong Qing, who has been cultivated by Dinghui over the years, is also very interested in entering the imperial army system.He knew very well that after Ding Hui's death, it was impossible for him to be the defense envoy of Qizhou, so he had to make plans early.

What worried him the most at the moment was the memorial sent back by his eldest son Shao Chengjie from Shuzhong.

These people are no longer sufficient.

These were expected and would not attract Shao Shude's attention.What really made him hesitate was Erlang's proposal to drive the Shu soldiers to attack Qianzhong Town and eliminate Wang Jianzhao.The reason is that Zhao Kuangning, the governor of Jingnan, moved slowly. He just dispatched troops in March, so far he has only fought a small battle with the people of Guizhou, which can be described as painless.

On the fifth day of May, concubine Liu of the Jin Dynasty, Li Luoluo, the successor king of Jin, Li Xiji, the governor of Hedong Road, and others arrived in the north of Jinyang City.

When Chen Cheng heard the words, he immediately arranged for a messenger to deliver the decree.

The first thing: the eldest son is not yet married, and Zhu Shuzong's daughter has been waiting for him for a long time, and it is shameful not to come back.

There are only more than 2000 real warriors in Abe, about [-] with a little fighting power, and the rest are vulnerable.

[-] Fan soldiers stayed at Shiling Pass, Hubeikou and other places, and [-] soldiers of the Feilong Army were stationed in five guard cities on the outskirts of Jinyang. outside the city.

Based on so many conditions, Shao Shude decided to digest more than 1 people from the Youguo Army as a whole this year, right after the riots in Hedong were put down.

The second thing: Central Guizhou has a limited degree of development, barbarians are everywhere, and they are not convinced by the king.Well, barbarians and such are not really a big deal, what is really scary is the harsh primitive environment.

Part of the reason for the corruption of the Five Dynasties is the recruitment and accommodation.

Among the generals who followed Shao Shude in the early years, Wang Yu was considered ideal, but he was born in a bad family. When he was young, he fought and killed.Lu Huaizhong also has ideals. At present, he is in good health, and he can still lead the army at the age of fifty.

The eldest son and heir unfortunately died of illness, is it okay?Shao Shude couldn't accept it.

After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision: first call his son back from Sichuan to get married, and take this time to think about it.

Thinking of this, he immediately issued a will.

At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for all the armies in central Shu to act without authorization, and those who disobey the order will be executed.Half of Yi Congjun, who had already entered Shu, was assigned to defend the Dragon Sword states.
