Late Tang

After Li Jing's troops were stationed in Taixiguan, he did not send troops to pursue Shatuo's remnant soldiers and let them retreat into Daizhou. Instead, he sent multiple scouts into Daizhou, Xinzhou, and Taiyuan to inquire about information and keep abreast of the movements of all parties.

The Zhendong Army just rested and recuperated at Taixi Pass, with [-] troops stationed at Taixi Pass. In addition, Li Jing stationed [-] soldiers each in Lingqiu, Feihu, Dingbian, and Zhigu Pass.In addition, [-] soldiers and horses were dispatched to guard the Feihuxing Passage connecting the Feihu territory in the west of Taihang Mountain to Yizhou, Hebei.

For the remaining 1 horses, Li Jing still just asked them to continue the Sanguang policy in Weizhou.

In the three cities of Lingqiu, Feihu, and Dingbian, Li Jing gathered the captured people, and those Hu people, Khitan and Xi people of the Shatuo tribe were directly escorted to Youzhou along the way they came, and then transported back by sea. southern Liaoning.As for the Han people, Li Jing concentrated them in the three cities and opened several temporary large workshops.After all the copied cattle and sheep are slaughtered, the meat is made into cans, the skins are tanned, and the tendons and horns are collected.

After the grain and beef and mutton are processed, they are directly used as military rations for the army, so that they are not transported from Dengzhou to Jinzhong from southern Liaoning.And those weapons and materials, my gold, silver, money and silk were transported back to Dengzhou together.

Li Jing even organized a lot of these people who were waiting to be sent back to southern Liaoning, and organized them to start mining.

In the words of Li Jing in the rumors of the middle and high-level officials in Taixi Opera City, logistics and resources are what are fought in wars.Now that they have arrived in Datong, it is impossible for them to occupy this generation of North, so they simply want to plunder.Take away everything that can be taken away, anyway, they don't plunder, and they will not let go of other officers and soldiers of the court when they come in the future.

He liked Caesar's words very much, I come, I see, I conquer!

"The Sanguang operation in Weizhou has almost been carried out. Except for the population who fled into the grassland and Yunshuodai, all that can be copied and taken away have basically been cleared. Several large mines are also rushing to work day and night. , now, shall we proceed to the next step?" Guo Chengan asked.

Li Jing sat there holding his chin, listening to the reports carefully.

After listening, Li Jing pondered for a while, then turned to Li Wei and asked, "What's going on with Taiyuan, Youzhou, and Tiande Army?"

"Good news!" Li Wei said with a smile: "The good news I just received is that Yu Gong of the Tiande Army led the Tiande Army and the Helian Division of Tuyuhun. The home of Li Guochang's Zhenwu army is the Shanyu Duhu Mansion. I heard that the Tiande army took the city easily under the internal response of the Zhenwu army officers in the city. Yu Gong is worthy of being the teacher of the county. Since the troops were dispatched, with only two letters, they have already conquered two cities and directly captured Li Guochang's lair."

The other generals also laughed easily. During this period of time, since everyone entered Jin Dynasty, they have hardly fought.The ministries took turns to go out to plunder.Although this looting is bound by various rules, it is not very happy.But the final harvest will not be less than everyone's share. Whether it is a general or a soldier, every time there is a big harvest, Li Jing will give a part of it to reward the whole army.

Except that staying outside the Great Wall is getting colder and colder, and everyone is homesick, other things are pretty good.

"The general copied Li Keyong's backyard, and Yu Gong copied Li Guochang's old lair. Zheng Xiangguo's army gathered in Taiyuan and confronted Li Keyong for a long time, but to no avail. It was the two divisions of the county master, master and apprentice, but Qi Qi Jiangong. Now, Li Ke used his father and son's backyard to catch fire, and see how they deal with it." Li Zhen laughed.

Li Jing is also very happy with the good news of the Tiande Army. It can be said that with this good news, the situation in Daibei will undergo a huge change.From now on, the recruitment of soldiers and horses will change from passive defense to active attack.

But at this time, the more you can't be careless.

Although Li Keyong and his son caught fire in the backyard, the main force in their hands did not suffer any losses.At this time, anyone who is dazzled by the apparent victory and wants to claim credit will be in trouble.

In short, this early bird Li Jing does not intend to do it.

"At present, the seven towns of the imperial court are attacking, Li Guochang has not been in control of the Zhenwu Army for a long time after all. Now that the family teacher took advantage of the emptiness and killed them to their lair, the officers of the Zhenwu Army must also carefully consider their way out. From the current situation Judging from the situation, Li Guochang is still trapped in Youzhou, and he will not be able to return for a while. When he returns, the cities of the Zhenwu Army will inevitably be captured by his family teacher Yu Gong. At that time, not to mention Li Guochang's counterattack, even he himself There is a possibility of being betrayed by the Zhenwu officers under him."

"Therefore, Li Keyong is the one who is the key. Li Keyong is called Feihuzi. From my observation, although Li Keyong is young and very rebellious, he is more ruthless than Li Guochang in fighting. If the Taiyuan side thinks that the Shatuo people are easy to deal with, then they may suffer a big loss. In the current situation, I plan to ignore them for the time being and let them fight again. We should turn around and take down Yunzhou first. .”

After hearing Li Jing's idea, the generals did not object.Everyone is not urged by ghosts, who is willing to go to Shatuo to give their lives.Li Cunxiao's four generals are a lesson from the past. 800 of them snatched the Thai Opera Pass from more than 5000 Shatuo people, and killed [-] enemies.But in the final result, even if they were the protégés of the Duke of the county, not only were they not rewarded in the end, but they even fought to the end and became big soldiers.Not only that, each of them was imprisoned for ten days and received one hundred military sticks.In Li Jing's words, if it weren't for the fact that they had some military merits, the four of them would have to be beheaded for public display in accordance with military law.

Now they are shrinking in the back of this generation, not only don't have to work hard, but they can also grab money, food, and women. Although what they grab is not their own, they can reward a lot every time.Since the expedition from Dengzhou, the soldiers of the Zhendong Army have saved a lot of money.

Now it's okay to eat all day long, except for taking turns to go out for three meals, the soldiers who only train in the army are a little boring.Because it is wartime, even if it is training, the amount of training is not large, and it is necessary to maintain combat effectiveness at all times.Therefore, if you only train for half a day a day, and then go to class at night, you will be fine.

"Your Majesty, many officials and soldiers below proposed to set up a camp of prostitutes, saying that these bastards below are full of warmth and lust. Now that they have money and time, they can't help but think wildly. There are often women among the people who are looted. Get up with them, and even get a lot of belly, this matter..."

Under the Tang army, when the army went out or was stationed outside, there were often military prostitutes accompanying the camp.There was no Zhendong Army before, but later there were more soldiers and horses, especially because the soldiers had more money and food, and after they had some money in their hands, many people turned their ideas on these soldiers.When in Dengzhou, those prostitutes often appeared near the barracks, deliberately luring soldiers.After training, many soldiers would often look for those prostitutes, and finally attracted those prostitutes to appear everywhere around the Zhendong Army barracks.In the end, a simple prostitute street was even built, and some vicious struggles were even triggered.

In the end, Zhang Hong couldn't stand it anymore, saying that the prostitutes had earned all the money, and clamored to open a military prostitute camp.

After Li Jing considered it carefully at the time, he finally agreed.Soldiers have been trained for a long time, and they are inevitably depressed. They need to be guided to vent. Women are sometimes the best channel to vent. This is exactly the situation after each war, when rape is even more common than robbery.

Zhendong Army does not allow rape and looting to happen, Li Jing can't block this camp of prostitutes.

In the end, there was still a camp of prostitutes in the Zhendong Army, and there was a prostitute camp in each chamber, with dozens or hundreds of prostitutes.These prostitutes are also young and healthy, and Li Jing has made many regulations on these military prostitutes.For example, soldiers can no longer go out to find pheasants in the future, but can only get the number of times they went to the prostitution camp according to their level.

For those prostitutes, not only regular medical examinations, but also militarized management, there is a fixed number of soldiers and officers who receive soldiers and officers every day.In addition, the soldiers were not allowed to beat, scold or abuse them.They are also commissioned according to performance, and the more they do, the more money they will get. Compared with the outside world, they are actually more secure.

Now that the soldiers are away on an expedition, Li Jing didn't even want to bring the logistics battalion, so why would he want to bring the battalion prostitutes.But now the soldiers don't have any tasks, and they have been away from home for a long time. They have leisure time and money in their hands, so they are full of warmth and lust.

The current situation outside the barracks is the same as when the Zhendong Army was in Dengzhou. Some prostitute villages spontaneously formed, and some were even organized by some soldiers and officers behind them.

"From those prostitutes or slaves of the Hu people, a group of prostitutes will be selected voluntarily to be incorporated into the prostitute camp, and they will be uniformly managed by the military department. All the rules will follow the original old rules. One prostitute camp will be established for each chamber, and the number of people will be set at one hundred. However, it is now a time of war and they are outside. Therefore, no matter whether it is an officer or a soldier, everyone can only go to the prostitution camp when they are enjoying their rotations. According to regulations, each person can only go to the prostitution camp three times at most. In addition, pay attention to regular Check, don't cause any disease." Li Jing is now able to accept many things in this era.

There were many prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that there were tens of thousands of prostitutes in Pingkang Square in Chang'an.There are many official prostitutes, camp prostitutes, house prostitutes, even kabuki and maiko.Going to brothels and looking for prostitutes is as common as later generations going to sing K.

The military prostitute camp was quickly established, and finally four general military prostitute camps were compiled, one for each room.There is also a high-level prostitute camp, which is only open to middle and high-level military officers. The prostitutes in it are somewhat similar to those singing and dancing performances rather than relying on flesh and blood.There are five hundred prostitutes in the five prostitute camps. For these prostitutes, Li Jing has a special request, that is, to perform some songs and dances for the soldiers in their spare time, which can be regarded as a condolence performance.

After the five prostitute camps were built, a grand condolence performance was held before the opening, and a tour was conducted for the soldiers in each station.The soldiers below responded enthusiastically, and after the subsequent opening, the business was booming immediately, and those private villages were forced to close down immediately after being attacked by the military police and Yuhou.

Li Jing rewarded some of the money and food looted by Sanguang to the soldiers. The soldiers spent the money like a stream of water, but in a blink of an eye, a large part flowed through the prostitute camp, and a small part was returned to the soldiers. It flowed back to the account of the Zhendong Army.

On the first day of November, after the Zhendong Army completely wiped out the entire Weizhou, the soldiers and horses began to move to Yunzhou.

After Li Jing left General Wang Zhong and 1000 elite soldiers to stay at Taixi Pass on the border of Wei Dynasty, he personally led [-] soldiers and horses to turn around and head north again, crossing the Sanggan River directly, and separating Weizhou and Yunzhou with thunderous momentum. The two military cities of the Qingsai Army and the Tiancheng Army on the northern border were pulled out, the [-] troops left behind in the two military cities were wiped out, and the Zhendong Army was slightly damaged.

On the fifth day of November, Li Jing led the Zhendong Army to officially enter Yunzhou from Qingslope Road on the northern border of Yunzhou in Weizhou.

After entering Yunzhou, [-] troops rushed straight to Yunzhou.Both Qingpo Road and Yinshan Road are the main roads for dispatching troops. This is the key point for Yunzhou to connect with Weizhou and go straight to Youzhou, Hebei.Only sixty miles away from Yunzhou City, there is Niupi Pass guarding this main road.

After Li Jing's troops arrived, the guard of Shatuo in Yunzhou was Fu Wenda, Li Keyong's envoy.Since Li Jing entered Daibei, he has been guarding against Li Jing.Seeing that Li Jing stayed in Weizhou all the time, and captured the Thai opera pass on the border between Weizhou and Daizhou, he was relieved, thinking that Li Jing would go directly to Daizhou and head south to Taiyuan.Unexpectedly, Li Jing suddenly turned around again and went straight to Yunzhou.

At the moment, it was miserable, so we had to mobilize soldiers and horses from Yunzhou, recruit young and strong auxiliary troops, and ask for reinforcements from the Tatar tribe under the Yin Mountain in the north of Yunzhou.

Fu Wenda managed to gather [-] soldiers and horses, leaving [-] to guard Yunzhou and another [-] to guard Yunzhong.Niupiguan, Yunzhou, and Yunzhong seized three cities, forming a horned situation, trying to defend to the death, firmly resisting Li Jing, and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Tatars.

While actively defending, Fu Wenda also came to the aid of the three governors of Shatuo, Zhu Haiwan, the governor of Sage, Shi Jingcuntun, the governor of Anqing, and Li Youjin, the governor of Shatuo, who stayed behind in the Shatuo people's lair in Shuozhou.

The three governors of Shatuo heard that Li Jing's soldiers had invaded Yunzhou, and immediately led [-] Shatuo cavalry to help.After the soldiers and horses arrived, three thousand soldiers and horses entered Niupi Pass together.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, the [-] troops of Zhendong Army arrived at Niupi Pass and set up camp at the [-]th li pass. Governor Shi Jingcun of Anqing, Governor Zhu Haiwan of Sage, and Governor Li Youjin of Shatuo followed Fu Wenda up the tower to watch.

I saw the white tents gathered for several miles, like a huge white cloud.Outside the camp, from time to time, groups of Zhendong Army cavalry can be seen moving back and forth, extremely sturdy.

While watching, Shi Jingcun was shocked. He had been at the border for a long time, and he had the ability to see the opponent's strength just by looking at the tent.The tents of the Eastern Army in this town are really set up too well.Moreover, the sergeants who watched them were extremely majestic. Although they had 6000 troops in Niupi Pass, they were absolutely irresistible.

Li Guochang's Zhenwu Army lair, Shanyu Duhufu, has been breached. Is Yunzhou also unprotected? (To be continued.)
