Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 373 Qianshuiyuan (addition to leader Xu Weiwei 996)

All the gates of the five cities of Yanzhou were opened.

The wooden bridge between the east and west cities was also guarded by sergeants, and each of them stood in silence.

On the mountain a little far away, a camp was also built, and the banner was flying.

There is even a large group of cavalrymen galloping outside, delivering military orders and suppressing places.

Baosai Town, which had been blood drawn once, basically had no resistance, and just surrendered at the feet of the new ruler.

Fu Cunshen put on the golden armor bestowed by the commander-in-chief, and just came out of the Jiedu envoy's mansion.

"General Fu."

"General Feng."

After Fu Cunshen and Feng Yin finished saluting each other, they got on their horses and rode together.

"General Fu, how confident are you about the establishment of the town in Weibei?" Feng Yin asked suddenly.

His position in the army is embarrassing.

Born in a dental school family, he is good at martial arts and can run the army, but there are still many people secretly ridiculing him for relying on offering his sister to rise to power, just to annoy others.

But Fu Cunshen had never shown such emotions, which made Feng Yin feel good about him and was willing to talk to him more.

Fu Cunshen was so happy.

He was born as a foreign general, but he came here halfway, and his promotion is not slow, there must be some people secretly grinding their teeth.

After all, there are only so many positions in the military, and there are more people who have done meritorious service. Some people want to be officials, but in the end they only get rewards with money, so they have to secretly vent their dissatisfaction?Especially when your competitor is an outsider.

Therefore, Fu Cunshen and Feng Yin got closer and closer, one Du Yuhou and one deputy envoy, they got closer together like this, and gained a firm foothold in the Tianzhu army.

Youyi envoy Yang Can is the son of Yang Yue, who was born in Shuofang's local general family.Li Tangbin's wife, Linghu, also came from Xia Sui's family, so they have a good relationship.

Ten years have passed since the self-made army, and factions have gradually grown.

From Shao Dashuai's point of view, moderate factional competition is acceptable, but severe internal friction is not allowed.

Now that he has prestige, he can suppress these generals. If he passes it to his son in the future, can he still be so stable?
By the way, Wang Jianji is an outlier in the Tianzhu Army.

He married the daughter of Xia Sui's local general, Zhou Rong, but also had a good relationship with Fu Cunshen. He was currently a lubricant between the two factions, ensuring the unity of this army.

"The Tianxiong army has already occupied Fuzhou, let's see when the commander-in-chief will go south to Tongzhou." Fu Cunshen was full of worries. He felt that the commander-in-chief's going south to Guanzhong was a bit risky, not because he was worried about an opponent, but because he was worried about the situation in the north.

According to his observations, Li Ke used this person to be straightforward, but he was not straightforward in his military operations. On the contrary, he had many tricks, and he was almost the same as Shao Dashuai——

Uh, let's not talk about it.

Now everyone thinks that Li Keyong will guard the passes in the north with partial divisions, and station heavily in the south to confront Zhu Quanzhong.

But what if he bluffed his shot and held off Zhu Quanzhong in the south, and then took advantage of the different timing of the troops' advances to maneuver inside and defeat the Youzhou Army and the Datong Army first?

If these two works are careless, they may suffer.

It is still necessary to resolve the matter in Guanzhong as soon as possible to wait for changes.

"Weibei set up a town, who can be the commander in chief?" Feng Yin said again: "The commander in chief originally wanted to take over the task himself, but after thinking about it for a long time, he changed his mind recently and didn't want one person to hold the three townships."

Fu Cunshen had never heard of these things.But so what?It's all a cover, he's not interested.

Surely someone will be interested.

The big town of Weibei, even if it is not counted in Huazhou, has a population of 70 in [-] counties of five prefectures.

Shuai Li Yanling, now hugging before and after going out, has married ten concubines in one go. I don't know how many people are envious.

"I heard that Li Pushe is ill. He should not be the Commander-in-Chief of Wei. It is impossible for Dr. Song to become the deputy guard of Zhenbei. General Sun of the former Tiande Army and Zhang Jun of the Zhenwu Army are both possible, but it seems It's unlikely." Fu Cunshen thought for a while and replied.

He turned his mind to how to deal with Li Keyong.

The commander-in-chief treated me with great kindness, not only paid for my family to take over to Lingxia, but also rewarded me with horses, golden armour, and a mansion. Dare I not do my best?

"Forget it, whoever he is. Maybe he's a civil servant like Xiao Yan, and the commander-in-chief is most at ease with civil servants." Feng Yin smiled and said, "Once he sends troops to Tongzhou, Dalang, do you think Hao Zhenwei will?" Raise an army to fight?"

"Nine times out of ten. He is very quiet now. Originally, the commander-in-chief was worried that he would attack Huazhou south, so he didn't seem to move."

"To deal with this person, we have to find a way from the court."

"really."

The two of them were chatting here, while the army commanded by the prime minister had walked for ten days, before they had traveled 120 miles and had just arrived in Liquan County.

Zhang Jun's butt hurt a little, so he had to find a carriage.

At the very beginning, he really felt that riding a horse was better, majestic and looking forward to being a hero.

But after only two days, my butt couldn't take it anymore, so I had to find a carriage in Xianyang. Although it was still not very comfortable, it was better and not so uncomfortable.

The control of the [-] army is also a troublesome matter.

There are too many generals in the army, and they are good at drinking and beating with people on weekdays, and they are also very energetic in playing and outing with ladies, and even won a lot of goodwill by virtue of their status as a strategic general.But this meeting is about to go into battle, and everyone is crying, and they don't understand this, and they don't understand, so they ask for instructions.

But the problem is, Dashuai Zhang doesn't understand either!

And talking about this, Zhang Jun was a little angry.They are all descendants of generals and dental school families, and some are descendants of famous generals. Why are none of them experienced?

Occasionally there are a few talents that are considered outstanding, but most of them are mediocre and inferior, and they can't show it in the end.

The Shence Army was originally a frontier army, under the jurisdiction of Longyou Town, stationed in Taozhou, with an army of two thousand.After the Anshi Rebellion, it was transferred to the east. After a series of battles, it made a lot of contributions, and finally became the Forbidden Army, which grew to more than 18. It once controlled the entire Guannei Road, some areas of Helong, and Shanzhou in the Kanto.

But since Xianzong, the Shence Army has hardly participated in battles, and has degenerated relatively quickly.

The sergeant's reward is three times that of the feudal army and even other forbidden troops.The interior is self-contained, the generals are promoted and talk about themselves, and no one dares to check the accounts. During the Zhenyuan period, there was a supervisory censor who went to check the accounts.

The Shence Army is so "good" that it has attracted too many nobles and wealthy children to join the army, and the generals took the opportunity to "generate income" with the number of soldiers. Naturally, this combat effectiveness is very problematic.

In addition, the soldiers of the older generation who can fight are gradually withering, such as veterans of the former frontier army, recruited warlords who surrendered, and the tributary chiefs of the Western Regions who stayed in the capital after the fall of Longyou, Anxi, Beiting school officials and their descendants. After getting old, the vacancy will be replaced by the "Floating Boy" of the capital.

Zhang Jun had heard about these situations, but he always felt that there were so many soldiers, with a high rate of armor and excellent equipment, that they couldn't even defeat the bitter Jingyuan soldiers, right?
Moreover, 4 of the [-] people who are sent out this time are naughty and naughty youths, regardless of this.But there are still [-] soldiers recruited from the nine towns of Ziqing, Tianping, Taining, Wuning, Hedong, Xuanwu, Yiwu, Yicheng, and Shuofang. Although they have only trained for less than two years, they should be able to right?
Will not know soldiers!Zhang Jun felt that he seemed to have made a big taboo in using soldiers.

The army stayed in Liquan for two days.

During this period, some people continued to leave the barracks privately to play in nearby counties.Most of them were young men from Chang'an, they spent a lot of money and almost ate all the wine, meat, fruit and vegetables in the city.There is no way, the food in the army has faded away, and I am not used to it!

Zhang Jun took the time to inspect the military camp, and found that some people were basking in the sun, some were drinking, some were painting, and some brought prostitutes into the camp...

There are only three or four people who are less than [-] people and still maintain a certain degree of discipline, without such nonsense.

"Which army do you belong to?" Zhang Jun asked, pointing to a relatively clean-looking army.

"Shenwei Army." A handsome general replied.

right!Almost forgot.

Only then did Zhang Jun recall that Liu Chongwang had mentioned that the left and right Shence armies were the main ones going out, but the other eight armies also sent some people over. After all, they were also involved in the initial recruitment.

"What's your name?"

"There's no hiding it."

"There will be a reward for the capital, five hundred silk."

"As ordered."

Zhang Jun is in a better mood, after all, he still has useful talents.When it really comes time for the two armies to fight each other, put those who can fight at the front, and those who can't fight at the back, and defeat the enemy with a majestic formation.

Shao Shude, the king of Lingwu County, entered the pass twice to fight, and it seemed that he defeated the enemy in formation. This move should be more effective.

On the fifth day of September, Zhang Jun ordered the army to set off and continue westward.

This time the march was a bit faster, and it seemed that everyone had some experience. They marched 290 miles in [-] days and arrived at a place called Qianshuiyuan, which was near the place where Emperor Taizong defeated Xue Rengao.

Zhang Jun ordered to camp here, inquire about news, and at the same time gather his troops.

During the fifteen-day march, some troops could walk normally, while others walked slowly, because there were many people who were left behind, and the stretch was very long, so they had to be gathered together.

"Recruiter, there have been many battles here." Liu Chongwang, the camp judge, looked at the nearby mountains, river valleys, and forests, and said.

"Let's hear it." Marching to Jingzhou with 4 people, Zhang Jun was already very tired, and now he felt that it was really not so easy to fight.

"In the first year of Wude, Emperor Taizong defeated Xue Rengao here and captured more than ten thousand people."

"In the eighth year of the Dali, Hunyan defeated Tubo here."

Zhang Jun was very happy to hear that.

What is a lottery head, this is a lottery head!The previous two dispatches from Chang'an were victorious, and this time should be no exception.
