Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 380 Can Swallow Lingzhou

Li Yiyin is on the run, Zhang Zhao has a loyal minister like Qiong Re Duojin who can replace him with his body, and he also has Li Yiyin.

The third younger brother Li Yimin put on Li Yiyin's Mingguang armor and led five hundred Hengshan steppers to stand firm, while Li Yiyin turned around and ran away under the guard of more than a hundred Qingqi.

Of course, the biggest reason why Li Yiyin was able to escape was that the light cavalry battle between the Dingnan Army and the Guiyi Army had already been decided.

Zhang Zhao's two Uighur Yicong battalions were defeated, and a Dangxiang light cavalry battalion in Yingyang Township also lost nearly half.

If it weren't for the good combat effectiveness of Zhang Zhao's own Basimi light cavalry, the Guiyi army would suffer a big loss in this light cavalry duel.

The time I, King Zhang, guarded Longyou in Hexi was still too short, it took only two years to fight and count.

He can arm the most important heavy infantry, light cavalry and armored cavalry with righteousness and golden fingers.

However, it is still somewhat powerless for the more unarmored and less armored cavalry and rangers.

Since the first year of Zhonghe, that is, when Huangchao broke Chang'an in 881 AD, Tuoba Sigong, the leader of the Dingnan army, led the army south to King Qin, and was named General Zuowuwei. Great Warlord.

For more than [-] years, the Pingxia Department has operated the four prefectures of Yinxia, ​​Yousui, and although limited by the economic situation, there are not many armors, but the party light cavalry under their command is not comparable to that of an 'upstart' like Zhang Zhao.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Li Yiyin just got something cheap. In fact, this commander-in-chief of the Dingnan Army wished he could wipe his neck right now.

The entire [-] army was reimbursed in three and a half hours.

What can be basically confirmed now is that General Tuoba Chongde died in battle, his son Li Guangrui, his brothers Li Yicheng and Li Yijie died in battle, and Li Yimin in the rear is probably finished.

The [-] light armored cavalry controlled by the Yamen of the Dingnan Army were almost wiped out, the most precious [-] serial horses basically disappeared, and the Hengshan Bubazi also disappeared.

Except for the light cavalry who were protecting him and fleeing in panic all over the mountains and plains, the Dingnan army was defeated.

60 years, no!In the 200 years since the Pingxia Department moved eastward, all family assets have basically disappeared.

Flying stones all over the sky, falling like meteors, Hengshan Bubazi's fighting power is really strong.

Of course, Zhang Zhao didn't want to be trapped by the beasts and they would hurt Erlang's life, so the Shenjiying Whirlwind Cannon, which had been reluctant to use, made a move.

After five rounds of continuous fire, the Dingnan Army, which had hundreds of Hengshan Bubazi and thousands of Dangxiang infantry, was captured.

Amidst the cheers, a medium-sized fat man in Mingguang armor was dragged over like a dead dog.

Zhang Zhao walked over with Gu Duo in his hands. Just now when Zhao Jinfang came to see Zhang Zhao, Qiong Re Duojin suffered serious head injuries and lost too much blood. He could only try his best to treat him.

"Is this thief Li Yiyin?" Zhang Zhao pointed to the medium-sized fat man who was being dragged over, and asked a general of the Doom Army who was kneeling on the ground next to him.

"Tiege! You attack and kill the court commander without authorization, the emperor will not spare you!" This general was quite stubborn.

"Fuck you!" Zhang Zhao blurted out a curse in Mandarin, then raised his bones with both hands, pointed at the general's head, and slammed it down.

Red, white, and powdery, bursting all over the ground, the general twitched forcefully, and then fell silent.

"Is this thief Li Yiyin?" Zhang Zhao pulled over another young general of the Dingnan Army.

The young general looked young, only 22, his lips trembled twice, as if he wanted to speak, but he felt a little speechless.

Zhang Zhao won't give him this chance!Once again, he raised Gu Duo above his head with both hands, and then slammed it down.

"I said! I said, I'm not Li Yiyin, I'm Li Yimin!"

Zhang Zhao ruthlessly hammered the two of them to death one after another, but the medium-sized fat man in the bright light armor couldn't hold it anymore, and he howled loudly.

"You are Li Yimin?" Zhang Zhao was a little stunned while holding Guduo.

Because if he remembers correctly, this Li Yimin is Li Yichao's younger brother. Historically, during the period when Emperor Shi Chonggui was born in the late Jin Dynasty, he and his other younger brother Li Yijun once tried to seize Li Yiyin's position as Jiedushi.

After failing, he ran to Yanzhou to hide, and was sent back to Xiazhou by Shi Chonggui, and then executed by Li Yiyin.

Five or six years later, the rebels are still brothers and sisters?

"Yes! So-and-so is Li Yimin!" The medium-sized fat chick nodded like pecking at rice.

Zhang Zhao was even more puzzled. This behavior did not look like a loyal minister at all!No matter, smashing to death counts!

Seeing Zhang Zhao raised the hammer again, Li Yimin collapsed instantly.

"My lord, please spare me! A certain wish has been granted! A certain wish has been granted!"

Zhang Zhao laughed angrily, what's the use of surrendering?What does I want you to do?
"Your Majesty, my servant is the Governor of Youzhou. Youzhou City is currently in the hands of a certain younger brother Li Yijun. As long as the King is willing to spare my life, I am willing to dedicate Youzhou and recruit all the tribes north of Jinze for the King."

Eh!It's a bit interesting, now Yuzhou is near the Etuoke Banner of Inner Mongolia in later generations. If you go to Yuzhou from Yanzhou or Xiazhou, you have to go through the desert that is called to disappear in later generations - the Mu Us Desert.

The name Dijinze also reminded Zhang Zhao of Li Yuanhao's grandfather, Dijinze God of War Li Jiqian.

This bastard laid the foundation of the Xixia Kingdom by relying on Dijinze. Zhang Zhao's current strength is far inferior to that of the Northern Song Dynasty in history. If Li Yimin can use this Li Yimin to control the Dijinze area, it is still possible.

correct!Zhang Zhao also remembered the Mu Us Desert, which was in the formation period of the Mu Us Desert. From the name Dijinze, it can be seen that Mu Us had not completely become a desert at this time.

As long as the over-nomadic Dangxiang and Sogdian tribes are removed here, the trend of desertification should be reversed.

The desertification of Mu Us is not simply an ecological problem of this place.

Without it, it would not only solve the problem of the northwest frontier defense, but also strengthen the connection between Youzhou, Fengzhou and the mainland.

It can also reduce the input of hundreds of millions of tons of sediment in the Yellow River every year, and has a very good effect on the management of the above-ground suspended river of the Yellow River in Kaifeng.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao asked Li Yimin, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, "Do you know Li Yijing, the Yinzhou defense envoy?"

"I know! I know! Li Yijing is a younger brother who is currently guarding Yinzhou. The servant can also recruit Li Yijing for the king and let him donate Yinzhou." Li Yimin replied repeatedly, desperately expressing that he was still useful.

"Hehe!" Zhang Zhao smiled coldly, and put Gu Duo on Li Yimin's shoulder, scaring the guy even more out of his wits.

"After you recruited Li Yijing for a certain person, you lured his whole family out of the city, regardless of male, female, old or young, servants and maids, and then."

Zhang Zhao said with a wave of his hand, "Exterminate them all, leaving no chicken or dog behind! In this way, I will spare your life."

Li Yimin glanced at Zhang Zhao in confusion, and hurriedly agreed.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Zhao wanted to kill Li Yijing's family, but he didn't kill his family, just a younger brother.

Of course Li Yimin didn't know that his younger brother Li Yijing had a grandson who was Li Jiqian, the god of war in Dijinze.

Li Jiqian has a grandson, that is, the Qing Tianzi of Dabaigao Kingdom, old ashes picker, pervert, wife coveter, the founding emperor of Xixia, Xia Jingzong Li Yuanhao.

. . . .

Two days later, Zhang Zhao led an army of [-] to Tiemenguan, [-] miles southeast of Baiyanchi.

The guard at the iron gate was killed by the cavalry pursued by the Guiyi army, and more than a hundred party soldiers were also thrown into the pit and buried.

When Zhang Zhao arrived here, he did not continue to pursue, but began to recruit the light cavalry of the Guiyi Army who were chasing the enemy from all directions.

Especially those thousands of Yi Cong Xiaoqi and some Uighur Yi Cong, who have average military discipline, I don't know where they are chasing?
Now they must be collected, and the army can be rectified before continuing to pursue.

Otherwise, it would be ridiculous for these tens of thousands of people to plunge into the hinterland of the Dingnan Army and capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao sent people to order the Yinyaozi who guarded Yanzhou, and recruited [-] Yanzhou residents to help clean up the battlefield around Baiyanchi, mainly collecting supplies and burning corpses.

Then he sent people flying horses to rush back to Liangzhou, and ordered the right chief Shi Cao Yuanzhong to conscript [-] civilian husbands, and transport [-] stones of grain and grass from Taicang to Yanzhou.

Zuo Changshi Song Shantong conquered the six prefectures of Sha, Su, Liang, Lan, Shan, and He, and rode [-] troops from Xiao to Yanzhou.

This is for the purpose of occupying, dismantling, and relocating the Dangxiang and Qiang tribes in the territory of Dingnan Army in the next period of time.

Moreover, Xiazhou is the famous Tongwan City, which claims that Shishi cannot be injured, and it is the home of the Pingxia Department of the Dingnan Army. In a few months, don't expect to be able to fight it down, it needs enough auxiliary soldiers.

While giving the order, Guo Tiance walked in with the calculated data in his hand.

"Your Majesty, in the Battle of Baiyanchi, the Dingnan Army had 5000 troops, and more than [-] people died in the battle. We captured more than [-] people as prisoners and wounded. The rest are at large, but most of them are unarmored cavalry."

"The serial horses of the Dingnan army, the light armored cavalry of the Pingxia tribe, and the Hengshan Bubazi didn't escape?" Zhang Zhaogan opened the statistics table and asked while looking at it.

"Except for several hundred light armored cavalry, Lian Huan Ma and Heng Shan Bu Ba Zi are here. Although we also killed hundreds of warriors, the main force of the Ding Nan Army is almost destroyed. The Ping Xia Department is finished!" Guo Tiance nodded. head replied.

"Good fight!" Zhang Zhao clenched his fist excitedly.

"It's good if you do Tiance, remember, you must treat Yinxia Yousui's party and Qiang separately.

We are not strong now, so don't expand the target, just focus on the Li family in Pingxia Department. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment, and still said to Guo Tiance: "You should hand over the matter here to the secretaries of the Yier Army, and you should go to Lingzhou to see Taiwei Zhang and Pei. Far.

Let them rectify 3000 people from the Lingwu Army to me, bring 2000 people to Yanzhou, and prepare 1000 people to go to Youzhou, but don't force it, it mainly depends on Pei Yuan's intentions. "

As soon as the Dingnan army was defeated, Zhang Zhao was ready to swallow Lingzhou.

Although this will attract the attention of all parties, firstly, the matter can be kept secret for a while, and secondly, as long as there is no Khitan and Dingnan Army coming together, Zhang Zhao is really not too afraid.

Because of the greedy character of the Khitan people, their own Yanyun sixteen prefectures have not been fully digested, and Lingzhou is far away from the Khitan headquarters, which is of no benefit. They can't even hold Fengzhou, let alone Lingzhou.

It was just a partial division. If they really wanted to come, Zhang Zhao would just use them to gain reputation.

And now that Liu Zhiyuan has returned to Taiyuan, this guy will almost fight because he is competing with the Khitan for more than [-] people in the Tuyuhunbai Chengfu Department, and there will be constant friction between the two sides.

Because Shi Jingtang was caught between Liu Zhiyuan and the Khitan people, he was persecuted by both sides, and no one could do anything about it, and finally died in aggrieved.

For the Khitan people, compared to Lingzhou, Bai Chengfu's more than [-] Tuyuhun tribe, who are good at fighting, is more important. They probably don't have time to take care of Lingzhou.

As for reminding Guo Tiance to seek Pei Yuan's opinion, it is because Zhang Zhao is still not sure whether Zhang Liecheng rescued Pei Yuan's family from Tokyo or not.
