Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 311
Suzong Li Heng appointed Guo Ziyi as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, presided over the redress, and then received a letter from Zhang Xun in Suiyang praising Li Fei. On the ground, his face was very gloomy.

"Unexpectedly, Zhang Xun was also bought by Li Fei!" Suzong Li Heng was very angry.

Originally, I heard that Zhang Xun in Suiyang performed extremely well in resisting the rebels, and he already planned to reuse Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun actually praised Li Fei for his merits. Doesn't this mean that Zhang Xun has been bought by Li Fei?

Suzong Li Heng didn't give any response to Zhang Xun, and he had already made up his mind that he would never reuse Zhang Xun.

Li Fei's continuous "buying people's hearts" made Suzong Li Heng feel more urgent, and hoped to put down the An Lushan rebellion as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Guo Ziyi was awarded the post of deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. After he had the actual command of various rehabilitated troops, he actively rectified the soldiers and horses.The Shuofang Army, together with the Anxi Army and the remnants of the Longyou Army, had about 600 soldiers left.

Although the number is not large, Guo Ziyi still has confidence, because the more than 600 soldiers are all elites who have experienced many battles. There are so many, but instead of recovering the entire Hedong Road with such force as before, they even attacked Boling, almost approaching the city of Youzhou.

Now, Guo Ziyi is full of confidence to allow himself to regain Hedong Road again.

Faced with Guo Ziyi's request to go to Hedong Road immediately, Suzong Li Heng hesitated for two days, and learned that the rebels had no plan to attack Lingwu and only continued to wreak havoc in Guanzhong and Chang'an City, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to Guo Ziyi.

Even, in order to show his courage, Suzong Li Heng only kept 600 Tang troops in Lingwu, and the remaining [-] people were all taken by Guo Ziyi to the Hedong Road.

Of course, Suzong Li Heng also stepped up to recruit recruits, and the Huihe people and Tubo people were "borrowed" to help the Tang Dynasty rehabilitate, and they would also protect Lingwu.

Guo Ziyi set off to campaign on Hedong Road. In addition to the more than 600 elite Tang troops under his command, he also brought an additional 600 Huihe cavalry and [-] Tubo soldiers to help, making a total of more than [-] elite troops.

This is definitely a very powerful force.

Follow Fang Guan to launch the first battle to recover Guanzhong and Chang'an City. Because of Fang Guan's incompetence, Huihe cavalry and Tubo people are like soy saucers.But Guo Ziyi was different. He would not let the [-] Huihe cavalry who followed him do nothing, but would try every means to make them fight to death.

Before entering Hedong Road, Guo Ziyi sent someone to secretly contact the former Datang officials in Hedong Road, asking them to cooperate with Datang to recover Hedong Road.In addition, although Guo Ziyi's army went all the way north to reach Jiuyuan, his plan was not to go to the quiet side like the last time he recovered the Hedong Road, and enter the Hedong Road in Yunzhong, but to cross the Yellow River directly from the middle of Hetao and surprise Xinzhou in the north of Taiyuan. , and then form the north and south horns with Li Guangbi of Taiyuan City.

Not to mention the final effect of Guo Ziyi's strategy of first the east and then the two capitals.

On Henan Province, Li Fei had already passed through Yanzhou City and arrived at Qingzhou City, the current Henan Province.

The name of Qingzhou originated from ancient Kyushu.

After Qin unified the world, Qi County was established, which was not far from Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Qingzhou Governor, and Qi County was also changed to Qingzhou.

Qingzhou City has been one of the important towns in the East since the Han Dynasty, and it is known as occupying Qingzhou and obtaining the whole land.

After Bianzhou was captured by the anti-army, Qingzhou City is undoubtedly the core of all military and political affairs in Henan Province, and it has gathered most of the strength that Henan Province can gather at the moment.

Although Li Fei has the right to control the military forces of Henan Province, Li Fei is very unimpressed with the generals of Henan Province.

To say that Henan Province has now developed an army of more than [-], not to mention how many elites there are, at least this number is not a weak force, but they actually watched Zhang Xun alone in Yongqiu, Suiyang, etc. Fighting hard in the area, but dare not support Zhang Xun at all, for fear of offending the rebels, and attracting rebels to attack Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other prosperous places in Henan Province.As long as the rebels don't attack Yanzhou and Qingzhou, they can keep ignoring and indifferent.

Li Fei is not the governor of Henan Province, he only has the right to control, but not the right to immunity, and he has no plans to control Henan Province for the time being, so he doesn't want to say anything to these generals of Henan Province, and he doesn't want to win them over. He just wants to do another thing now.

Walking all the way from Shan County, what Li Fei saw the most was undoubtedly the refugees who fled from the north of the Yellow River in order to escape the war.

It is roughly estimated that there are at least 200 million refugees in the entire Henan Province.

What Li Fei wants to do the most is how to lure these refugees to the Andong Protectorate to increase the population base of the Andong Protectorate.

The Anton Protectorate's Mansion is Li Fei's old nest, and now it is developing very well in all aspects. It could have been further developed, but due to the limitation of too small population, it is impossible to further develop.Relying on normal population growth, it will be difficult to reach the number Li Fei expects in 50 years, so introducing refugees from Hebei is the best choice.

When the siege of Suiyang was relieved, Li Fei also took the rebel granary in Shan County by surprise and obtained more than 27 shi of grain.In addition, more than 1 stones of grain were obtained from the first 27 cavalry sneak attack on the anti-military grain road.Although 100 shi was reserved for Zhang Xun to buy Zhang Xun's future, Li Fei still had [-] shi of grain, enough to feed [-] million people for more than half a month.

Traveling all the way from Shan County, Li Fei sent out a large number of Anton cavalry to continuously publicize and accommodate refugees. Those who were willing to cross the sea to Anton Governor's Mansion under his arrangement followed all the way to Dengzhou. Li Fei who was unwilling Five catties of grain were also given to each person.

All the way down, counting what he ate, when he arrived at Qingzhou City, Li Fei had already distributed more than 5 shi of grain, and about [-] shi of grain were expressed willingness to cross the sea from Dengzhou to Andong Dufu Mansion under Li Fei's arrangement. More than [-] people are far from meeting Li Fei's expectations.

Li Fei was quite helpless. After all, the Anton Protectorate's Mansion was remote, and it was next to the rebel army's Pinglu Road. The guard mansion is occupied, and they will have nowhere to escape across the sea.

The reason why more than 5 refugees are willing to cross the sea to the Anton Governor's Mansion under Li Fei's arrangement is because of Li Fei's reputation and the fact that he can't find food. It is difficult to survive. Follow Li Fei at least along the way There is a reason to eat.

Qingzhou City.

The generals of Henan Province looked at Li Fei's entourage with a long dragon. There were soldiers of Anton's cavalry, prisoners, and refugees. There were tens of thousands of people. They were quite helpless, and even many people He showed a troubled expression.
