Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 517 New Year, January Settlement

Li Yan, who was far away in Tingzhou, attended too many activities on Zhengdan.

As the vassal king of the outer town, under the guidance of Li Mi, Li Tan first offered sacrifices to his ancestors, and then worshiped the God of Spring.

I drank a little too much at the night banquet, and missed the celestial phenomenon of Dou Xing entering the Palace of Fate.

But it doesn't matter, Li Yan, who traveled through time, naturally knows that these celestial phenomena are just an accidental arrangement of stars, and have no special meaning.

If only because of special celestial phenomena, the world can be peaceful, then the efforts of myself and the players are too ridiculous.

Li Yan, who knows the historical process, knows that it is now AD 758, and it was already in AD 763 that the Anshi Rebellion was completely put down in history.

Even though Longyou's intervention has reduced the threat from the Uighurs and Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, there is still a long time before the world is peaceful.

Li Yan turned on the system and said, "System, the settlement will be in December."

"The settlement report has been generated, please check the host:"

[The title of the King of Yue: 400 points per month]

[Captain Longyou: 300 points per month]

[Control Guazhou, Shazhou, Xizhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou: 1500 points per month]

[Included with sudden riding: 200 points per month]

[Jimi Modong Grassland: 200 points per month]

[Construction of Tongliao City: 100 points per month]

[Add 4400 luck points in total, and the remaining luck points in October are 520 points. The host currently has 4920 luck points. 】

The settlement of the Jinxian almanac will not be until next month, and the settlement in December has shrunk significantly. Li Yan can only sigh. There will be fewer new players recruited in January.

"System, summon a thousand new players."

【As you wish, there are currently 12043 players in the game. 】

Among the new players today, a small half of them have entered the game through the test code redeemed by old players.

However, allowing more relatives and friends of the player to enter the game can also increase the player's game stickiness.

For example, Wugang Wuzhonghua's family can also bring many surprises to Li Yan.

When a new batch of players entered the game, old players would naturally be in charge of receiving them. However, to Li Yan's surprise, many new players chose Chang'an or Tongliao City as their birth point this time.

But it's normal when you think about it. The vacancies in Longyou have been almost filled by players. Even running a business is serious. If new players want to get ahead, they really can only go to new maps like Chang'an or Pinglu Only by wandering can you have a chance.

Compared with the players who opened up wasteland, Tongliao City and Chang'an are now much safer, and the opportunities are much greater than before.

The bazaar in Wannian County was temporarily converted into a workshop, and several players who dared to try have gone to Chang'an to invest in the construction of a workshop.

New players can easily find a job in the workshop.

There are many opportunities in Chang'an City, and there are also many battles near Tongliao City.

In order to prepare for the big detour strategy after the beginning of spring, Yu Chixin is sending players to wipe out the barbarian tribes in the desert area.

Those players who aspire to make great achievements on the horse naturally choose Tongliao City, which can fight, as the birth point.

In addition, there are also a group of old players who, after holding out attribute points and resurrection books, also began to leave Longyou and went to nearby Lingzhou, Sizhou and other areas to look for opportunities.

Li Yan naturally encouraged the players' pioneering spirit.

Tubo did not dare to go north for the time being, and the Uighurs had already surrendered. Now the direction of attack in Longyou is Liaodong, where the great detour strategy is located.

Li Yan looked at the strategic plan sent by Yuchi Letter, and the work of infiltrating Pinglu Town was progressing smoothly. Fang Guoshou pretended to be the Bohai Business Group and had quietly infiltrated into various areas of Pinglu.

After Wang Xuanzhi, the Jiedu envoy of the Pinglu Army, was double recognized by Shi Siming and the court, he felt that his position had been stabilized, and began to enjoy himself in the Jiedu envoy's mansion.

He handed over military affairs to his deputy Hou Xiyi, and handed over ordinary government affairs to Pang Ju, a player who had made many meritorious deeds.

It's not that Wang Xuanzhi is lazy, but that Liaodong is so cold that basically nothing can be done.

It was a world of ice and snow, and it was impossible to grow crops. There were no other recreational activities in this era, and the common people were crowded at home to prepare cats for the winter.

Only players who pretend to be members of a business group will run in the ice and snow without fear of the cold.

Player Li Fusheng is a player who only entered the game in November. The last time he ambushed and killed the scouts in Pinglu Town during his patrol, Li Fusheng earned a lot of experience points.

After a simple upgrade, Li Fusheng deeply understood the principle of seeking wealth and insurance. He signed up for Fang Guoshou's "Bohai Business Group" and became an agent player who sneaked into Pinglu Town to collect information.

What Li Fusheng was investigating was a military settlement near Yingzhou City. These days, he sent charcoal to the military settlement, and he had established a good relationship with the military officers in the military settlement.

"Fusheng is here to deliver charcoal fire again!"

Li Fusheng unloaded the charcoal fire from the carriage and said: "Master Jieshuai asked our Bohai Merchant Group to carry the military supplies. You must not let the military masters suffer from the cold. This winter is really too cold. The charcoal kilns in Yingzhou Quite a few have been extinguished, these charcoal fires were bought by Fang Xingshou from Silla Shipping."

There are no more than 200 people in this army, and the highest officer is a brigade commander surnamed Wang, who is said to be related to Jiedu envoy Wang Xuanzhi.

Wang Lvshuai also came out of his warm room and directed the soldiers to pile up the charcoal fire into the warehouse where the charcoal fire was stored.

Originally, according to the requirements of the Tang Army Code of Practice, flammable charcoal, fodder, and grain should be stored in different warehouses, and these warehouses should be separated by a long distance to prevent fire from burning all the materials.

But it is obvious that the Pinglu Army has not implemented this military discipline for a long time, and the charcoal fire is placed next to the soldiers' barracks, so that the soldiers can take it at any time.

The granary for storing grain and grass, and the arsenal for storing equipment were also built together, which made it easier for soldiers to access it, but once a fire broke out, the entire military station would be burned.

Sure enough, the military discipline of the Pinglu Army has long been corrupted.

Li Fusheng secretly photographed and recorded these details, and the recorded information will be exchanged for experience points. By sending charcoal fire to several military camps near Yingzhou City, he has already been promoted to a level.

Although Wang Xuanzhi's education level is average, he is very devout to Buddhism.

Fang Guoshou did what he liked, spent some effort to find some Buddha statues from the Northern Dynasty, and gave them to Wang Xuanzhi.

For the head of the Bohai Chamber of Commerce, who has a lot of research on Buddhism, Wang Xuanzhi is also regarded as a guest of honor, and often asks Fang Guoshou to go to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion to talk about Buddhism.

Yuchixin hadn't started the battle yet, he already had detailed information on the various military camps in Pinglu Town, even how many rooms the Jiedushi's mansion had, and where the most convenient way to attack the Jiedushi's mansion was clear to Yuchixin.

The big detour strategy formulated by Yu Chixin was to move south to occupy the entire territory of Pinglu Town after the ice and snow melted on February [-].

After an in-depth investigation of the current combat effectiveness of the entire Pinglu Army, Yu Chixin has confirmed that it is not difficult to achieve the goal of the first stage.

However, occupying the entire territory of Pinglu Town is only the first step.

The second critical step is to quickly seize Yuguan, the main road leading southward from Liaodong, after occupying Pinglu Town.

Yuguan is the Shanhaiguan Pass of later generations. Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Goguryeo, this is the most important pass for the Central Plains Dynasty to go north.

The Qing Dynasty's massive entry into the customs in later generations began when Wu Sangui opened Shanhaiguan.

Occupy Yuguan, then the player's elite troops will defend Yuguan to resist Fan Yang and Taiyuan's rebels.

Occupying Yuguan means taking the strategic initiative over Fanyang Town, and developing and accumulating strength in Pinglu with peace of mind. Just like the decisive battle, a fierce tiger descends the mountain and occupies Pingjin in World War I.

Therefore, in Yuchixin's strategy, only the occupation of Yuguan can be regarded as the first step in completing the great detour strategy.

According to the player's information, Fan Yang Jiedushi is now Shi Siming's son Shi Chaoyi.

Although the Shi family father and son recognized Wang Xuanzhi's integrity, they did not trust the loyalty of the Pinglu army, so Shi Chaoyi sent his confidant Cai Wenjing to lead [-] elite troops to station in Yuguan.

So what really gave Yuchixin a headache was not the Pinglu Army, which was exhausted, but the elite Fan Yang Army stationed at Yuguan.

The Longyou army that entered Liaodong through the great detour strategy has reached 3000 people. Now Mobei University cannot continue to replenish its troops. The lack of troops is the main problem Yu Chixin faces.

After the lightning attack on Pinglu, a part of the army needs to be left to take care of Pinglu's army, and even fewer troops can be pulled over to attack Yuguan.

Yuchixin had a headache. After war games, he had to occupy Yuguan within half a month after the blitz on Pinglu.

Otherwise, if Shi Chaoyi led Pinglu's army to the north, it would cost even more to capture Yuguan.

Yu Chixin looked at the map near Yuguan, and fell into thinking, how can he break through Yuguan quickly?
Two of the latest artillery pieces have been transported to Tongliao City. These two artillery pieces can fire explosive shells filled with gunpowder, and the lethality of the artillery has been greatly improved.

However, Yuguan is a grand pass, and the city walls are all made of earthen barriers. If you use explosives to blow up, you need to bury a lot of explosives to blow up the city walls.

Cai Wenjing, the guard of Yuguan, was also a veteran in defending the city, and his subordinates were also elite. Yu Chixin felt even more headache when he looked at the map.

It seemed that sitting in Tongliao City was not enough, so Yu Chixin decided to sneak into Yuguan, investigate this grand pass in the world, and find a way to defeat the enemy.

When the northern players were planning a big detour strategy, Li Guangbi, who was stationed in Anyang City in Xiangzhou, received an order from the imperial court to implement a strong wall and clear the field in Xiangzhou, and work harder to calm down the remnants of An Qingxu as soon as possible.

Li Guangbi, who received the order from the court, let out a long sigh, and could only say to the eunuch who delivered the order: "My minister, Li Guangbi, accepts the order."
