Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 906 Order 40

Hexi, Wuwei County.

Li Gui, the head of the Hexi battalion, the commander of the left governor of Hexi Road, the prefect of Wuwei, and the Duke of Liang, was a little surprised when he saw Luo Siye's messenger, holding the transfer order.

A Hexi general sighed, "Li Yuan is really crazy. At this time, he didn't want to negotiate and procrastinate, but instead killed Luo Siye's son. Isn't this forcing Luo Siye to attack the city?"

Another general said, "Maybe Li Yuan just wanted to anger Luo Siye, and then make him lose his mind and attack Xiaoguan. After all, Xiaoguan is one of the four fortresses in Guanzhong, and it is extremely dangerous. If Siye attacked Xiaoguan by force, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties , Luo Siye's soldiers and horses are mainly cavalry."

Li Gui shook the transfer order in his hand.

"I just followed the orders of the Emperor of Qin and the King of Jin to send troops to sweep Longyou down. Just after I came back, I received another order to call my Hexi Army to Xiaoguan, and directly stated that I would mobilize all the troops to go there. Do you think I will obey the order?"

A general said, "Luo Siye was obviously enraged by Li Yuan. It is very unwise to gather troops and horses to attack Xiaoguan in a fit of anger. The art of war says not to use anger to mobilize troops. Moreover, it is obvious that he has not received the emperor's order to send troops now. In the past, the emperor just said that Chen Bing and Xiaoguan would disband all the passes, put pressure on the Tang army, restrain their soldiers and horses, force them not to leave the pass, and not disturb the Central Plains battlefield. Now that we have done it, we can completely ignore Luo Siye."

"I'm afraid it won't work. After all, Luo Siye is the emperor's brother. What's more, he is still the commander of the Guanlong camp authorized by the emperor. He has the command power over the entire Guanzhong Longyou Heshuo. If he doesn't follow the order , I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

"That's right, why don't we just follow the order and send out troops. Maybe we can come back when Luo Siye calms down and puts on a show."

"But this is too much trouble."

"There's no other way."

Li Gui listened to the arguments of his subordinate generals, and in the end he had no choice but to listen to everyone's opinions and decided to send troops.

"Send me a general order to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Hexi counties, and also pass on to the barbarians in Hexi, asking them to send out some troops to strengthen their prestige."

The commander of Wuwei County ordered the cavalry to go out and pass the military orders all the way.

A few days later, Luo Siye received a letter from Li Gui.

He has already mobilized [-] soldiers from Hexi, including [-] newly reorganized troops, about [-] local soldiers from Tutuan, and more than [-] tribal soldiers from Qiang, Tuyuhun, Turks, and Sogdians. people.

"Very good. It seems that Li Gui has given me Luo Siye a lot of face. You can tell the Duke of Liang on my behalf. Luo Siye has made a note of this favor. I hope he will lead his army to arrive soon."

Xiao Guan exits.

Siye was very satisfied with Li Gui's cooperation.

"Where's Longyou?"

"Commander, the counties in Longyou have just been captured, so it is estimated that there will not be many soldiers and horses. We are now waiting for the replies from the counties."

Longyou was originally occupied by the Tang army after defeating Xue Ju's Western Qin Dynasty. After Siye seized Hetao and went south, Li Gui, who was allied with him, swept Longyou and defeated the Tang army stationed there.

Then Siye dispatched many generals under his command to station in the counties of Longyou, and also gave official comfort to those Longyou officials and local tyrants who had attached themselves.

a few days later.

The replies from the counties in Longyou have arrived.

"Hou Junji, the prefect of Tianshui County, sent someone to reply, and he has led an army of [-] to come day and night."

"Yin Kaishan, the prefect of Longxi County, sent someone to reply, and he is leading an army of [-] to come."

In addition, the prefects of Lintao, Baohan, Jiaohe, Xihai, and Xiping counties also responded, or led an army of more than [-], or led an army of [-] on their way.

Luo Siye's joining the army surprised the prefects and generals of the Longyou counties.

"Marshal, there are already 12 soldiers reported from the Longyou counties alone."

Siye was also surprised.

"How could there be so many?" After he and Li Gui's allied forces captured Longyou, Li Gui led the Hexi army back to Hexi, and Siye sent [-] troops to stay in Longyou.

But now, these ten thousand soldiers turned into 12?

Even with the addition of Longyou's original descendants, local tyrants, and Qiang mansions, there shouldn't be so many of them.

But soon, the news that surprised Siye even more arrived.

Dozens of Qiang and Di tribes in Longyou also responded to the order to send troops. They may be two or three thousand, or seven or eight hundred, and they have gathered more than 5 people.

"The 12 soldiers from the original counties in Longyou didn't include tribal soldiers?"

"No?"

When Yin Kaishan from Longxi County, which was the closest, arrived with a vanguard, Siye asked him, "You really brought [-] soldiers? Where did you get so many soldiers?"

"Incorporate, recruit and surrender."

After Yin Kaishan pacified Longyou, he was appointed as the prefect of Longxi by Siye. When he stayed behind, Siye gave him [-] soldiers, but now it has become [-].

In his words, there is actually nothing unusual. After staying in Longxi, the first thing he did was to reorganize the surrendered troops of the original Longxi Tang army, and then lead troops to encircle and suppress all bandits and bandits in the surrendered county. The effect is good, and many bandits and rebels have accepted the recruitment.

"I only kept a part, otherwise seventy or eighty thousand soldiers could be gathered together."

"You have so many soldiers, how do you support them?" Siye asked.

"Garn the fields." Yin Kaishan replied with a smile. Originally, he planned to dismiss those people after he started recruiting them. Later, he felt that these people were rebellious and some of them were used to being thieves. I'm afraid it's easy to mess up.

So later, he simply kept the thorns among these people. He imitated the method of Luo Chengping and other places before, selecting the most elite ones as government soldiers, and then organizing the others as Tuntian soldiers. In this way, Longyou The county's government soldiers only had 8000 hatchbacks in total, but the garrison troops had [-].

"So, your [-] soldiers are not counted as Tutuan Xiangyong?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. I have also summoned a lot of Tutuan Township Yong. In addition, there are many powerful families who also enthusiastically send their children to join the conscripts. They are volunteer soldiers." Yin Kaishan told Siye that in addition to Longyou County, three In addition to the Wanfu soldiers stationed in the field, there are about [-] Tutuan, and about [-] volunteer soldiers from the children.

Siye sighed, this Yin Kaishan almost pulled out all the men in Longyou County.

"Not really, it's probably like three Ding draws one." Yin Kaishan laughed.

Soldiers and horses continued to gather one after another.

late September.

On the river valley plain under Xiaoguan, more than 40 troops have gathered, among which there are 3 government soldiers in Hetao and Longyou counties expanded from Siye's original [-] people, and another [-] soldiers in the field , and there are twenty-four thousand soldiers in Hexi.

In addition, there are more than [-] Tutuan soldiers in the three counties, and there are no fewer than [-] Fan soldiers. Many tribes are directly driving cattle and sheep. The entire tribe, men, women, and children, all said that they would fight under the order of the Emperor Qin. Go to Chang'an City, so as to grab money and food and women.

Countless people and horses gathered into a torrent, like a migrating army.

On Xiaoguan City, Li Daozong looked at the huge crowd that was growing day by day, feeling very worried.

"Your Majesty made a mistake, a huge mistake. He angered a person who shouldn't be angered at a time when he shouldn't be."

"Luo Siye has pulled all the people outside the pass?" The guards were all panicked.

close.

Luo Siye was gathering with Li Gui, Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan and other generals.

"I, Luo Siye, would like to thank you for your help in advance. Thank you for giving me this face and giving me, Luo Siye, the opportunity to command these more than 40 horses. I thank you in advance for my wife and my dead son."

"It's right to be ordered to seek rebellion and quell chaos." Li Gui said with a smile, but he was also secretly startled, never expecting that Luo Siye could make such a big battle.

"Okay, I don't want to say a lot of words of thanks. With more than 40 people gathered here, we broke Xiao Pass, entered Chang'an City, and captured old man Li Yuan alive!"

"Break through Xiao Pass, break into Chang'an, and capture Li Yuan alive!"
