The second half of the twelfth lunar month is spent wandering around Huaibei.
He met with local officials in Haizhou, followed the route arranged by the officials, and had a great time.
Secretly let Pei Tong's people collect information and inquire around.
It's a pity that this is not Zhili, Guannai, Guanbei and other places. There is a lack of local detectives from the listening and watching department, and there are no big-mouthed and unruly veterans who dare to speak, so the information obtained is limited.
In fact, most dynasties are like this. The emperor has a dark eye on the grassroots, knows nothing, and lives on like that. Shao Shude feels that he is being too demanding. He now has a large number of military veterans who are not afraid of local civil servants.
However, after a few decades, his descendants will not be able to obtain first-hand grassroots information through this method.
People are going to change.
On the last day of December, the large group of troops traveled westward and approached Xuzhou. He personally led three thousand horsemen with silver saddles and went south to Lianshui County, overlooking Shanyang County in Chuzhou on the south bank of the Huai River.
Li Shenfu, the governor of Chuzhou, had just finished his tour of the camp. He stood on the river embankment and looked at the large group of cavalry on the north bank.
The person opposite was wearing yellow and white clothing, which was incompatible with the dark-colored military uniforms of the warriors. He must be a certain general. But something was wrong. When a general wears civilian clothes, there is no such thing as a white robe.
Could it be that——Li Shenfu's heart suddenly started beating fiercely.
But he quickly gave up. This winter is cold, but the Huai River is not completely frozen, and the frozen part is also very thin and brittle, making it impossible for you to gallop.
What's more, their horses are really great horses and their knights' equipment is also very good. With the one or two thousand cavalry in Chuzhou City, there is no chance of winning after them.
Besides, there is no chance.
Another large group of people came from a distance. They turned out to be soldiers from Lunshu Prefecture and local men from Tu Tuan from Hai, Si, and Yi prefectures.
"Long live my emperor!" Thousands of people knelt on the ground, roaring like a tsunami.
Li Shenfu was shocked.
He settled in the Central Plains and established a new dynasty. He had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. He was also in the prime of life and generous. To be fair, everyone liked to serve under such a king.
"Sir..." The eldest son Li Chengnai rode his horse and came closer.
Li Shenfu sighed.
He is already forty-seven years old and has followed King Wu for many years. It is impossible for him to change his family again.
The eldest son Chengnai is seventeen years old. He is young and handsome, long and brave, good at caring for soldiers, and familiar with Tao strategy. He rides and shoots in the Huainan area, fights on horseback, and is so brave that he is praised as the "Tiger Son".
The king of Wu recruited him as his son-in-law.
The two generations of the Li family were bound to Yang Wu. In the eyes of outsiders, they were the confidants of the King of Wu, who would protect his descendants in the future - if they did not die in battle midway.
King Wu had actually begun to prepare for his death. He had given up his dream of going north to compete in the Central Plains.
The armies were mobilized and sent out for battle, and all the power was vested in the capital of Yuhousi. No action was allowed without orders.
At the same time, a new pro-army was built and put under the command of his confidants Xu Wen and others. This was the only army that could be mobilized without the order of Yu Housi, and it belonged directly to the King of Wu himself. After taking control of this army, the King of Wu began to attack the Guangling people.
The generals have a huge advantage. They can be killed if they want, and they can seize power if they want. As for the governors from other states, that is another matter.
"The Shao thieves established the Puppet Xia with great fanfare." Li Shenfu said: "After all, Sizhou has been under the rule of King Wu for many years. Look at all the soldiers, they are all kneeling on the ground. Why?"
"The Puppet Xia Forbidden Army is at its peak, with hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang overwhelming the world?" Li Chengnai asked.
"Exactly." Li Shenfu said: "The King of Wu is also learning from Shao. The armies in Guangling have been vigorously reorganized. Not only Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, Tuoba Renfu and other foreign generals have no military power, but also Li Jian, Li Hou and other Yuan officials.
The general has also been taken away from power. After that, I will be waiting for you. You - go back to Guangling as soon as possible, stay with your bride, and don't think about being a father."
"grown ups……"
"Your brothers and sisters are still living in Chuzhou." Li Shenfu looked towards the north bank and said.
Wearing dragon robes, riding horses and whips, countless warriors follow each other in the wind.
Wherever the horsewhip pointed, the troops rushed to kill him without hesitation.
Shao Shude has finally achieved what all the warriors in the world have dreamed about - the emperor is the one who has the strongest soldiers and horses. Shao Thief is now the one with the strongest soldiers and the strongest horses.
"Sir, I heard recently that Tian Yan, An Renyi, Yang Shihou and others are not willing to be withdrawn from the army." Li Chengnai said: "Especially Yang Shihou. He led the troops to capture the two states of Qu and Mu, and won money.
Liu was frightened when he heard the news, but both states were taken away by King Wu. Yang Shihou was very dissatisfied, and now..."
"Shut up!" Li Shenfu said angrily: "There are some things that you should not get involved in, or you will die."
"Yes." Li Chengnai agreed.
Influenced by his father, he had been leaning towards the King of Wu before, let alone after he became the son-in-law of the King of Wu. In his opinion, among the governors from other states, they include Tian Yan, the governor of Xuanzhou, An Renyi, the governor of Runzhou, and Yang Shihou, the governor of Suzhou.
The most unruly.
Zhu Yanshou was originally very dangerous, but now he has little capital and relies more and more on Guang Ling's help.
Tian, An, and Yang might have to fight each other.
Since the failure of the previous Northern Expedition, King Wu has lost most of his energy and energy, and his body seems to have begun to decline. What he wants to do most now should be to eradicate the separatist forces and seize power in the last few years of his life.
, to pave the way for his son.
There are some things. In fact, there is no need to be so urgent. Tian Yan, An Renyi, and Yang Shihou are just unruly, and they may not have any objections. At least they have sent out money, food and people for many expeditions in the past, which can be regarded as obeying the rule of King Wu.
.
But Li Chengnai also understood the King of Wu. The prince was not a hero, but just a middle-aged man. He also had many bad habits. He didn't have much respect for the old civil and military heroes. He only liked to promote Xing Jin who "played" with him.
generation.
For such an heir, you must pave all the way for him without any hidden dangers.
Suddenly more than ten cavalrymen came galloping from the other side. They stopped by the embankment and said in unison: "I heard that Li Shijun of Chuzhou has always had a strategy. But he travels secretly and without any rules. He selects households everywhere, specializes in building fortresses, and builds a large number of armored soldiers.
I want to share the wealth and honor with my old brothers. When the war breaks out, the whole country will be destroyed, and the generals in the counties will be frightened. How can you not be afraid of such owls and wolves? If Li Shijun comes from all over the country to vote, he should be promoted to the rank of favor.
"This is a gesture of kindness, please don't doubt me."
The other side shouted several times in a row. The other side couldn't hear it clearly, but they understood it intermittently.
The soldiers and followers turned their attention to Li Shenfu.
"Let's go!" Li Shenfu didn't answer and rode his horse down the embankment.
The group of people followed quickly and disappeared into the wilderness.
On the other side, the heroic lord in dragon robes rode his horse to hunt. Arrows fell, hares fell to the ground, and pheasants flew down.
The sergeants cheered loudly and cast their admiring and loving eyes on their emperor.
Sometimes being in good health and living a long life are also huge advantages.
******
I spent the New Year in Xuzhou.
Shao Shude galloped hundreds of miles in two days and nights, flew into Xuzhou, and had fun with the soldiers and civilians.
Li Gongquan, the military envoy of the Gongchen Army, Hua Wenqi, the deputy envoy, and Chu Shenping, the commander of the Xuzhou Army, surrounded Shao Shude and cut the prey together.
"Ask all the sons and daughters to come over." Shao Shude looked at the people around him and frowned.
"Your Majesty, they are all deserters from Wei Bo..." Wang Bian advised.
"What Wei Bo is fleeing? Those are my soldiers, warriors who fight for me." Shao Shude insisted on asking Xuzhou soldiers and General Gongchen who were sitting far away to come over and cut off the cooked meat on the iron plate one by one.
He smiled and said, "You are in for a treat. I hunted pheasants and hares myself, cooked them with my own hands, and distributed them to you."
"Your Majesty!" Everyone expressed admiration and wanted to take off their swords and go over.
Shao Shude stretched out his hand to stop me and said: "How can the soldiers protect my safety if they don't have swords? It's freezing cold and we are far away from home. Every household in Wei Bo is also celebrating the New Year, right? I'm sorry for you."
"Everyone in the world has said that for more than a hundred years, I, the warrior of Wei Bo, have become ferocious with the ferocity of the owl and wolf, and my nature as a wolf has not changed. Your Majesty alone looks at us with a straight eye. What can I say?"
"Your Majesty is so kind that I can only repay you with death."
"Your Majesty, please let me return to Weibo, punish those traitors, and dedicate Weizhou to Your Majesty."
Everyone was sad and weeping.
"What immortality?" Shao Shude said seductively: "You and your family are still in Weizhou. Although it is common for a warrior to work hard for his life, if you don't cherish your own body, I will scold you. It is not easy for parents to raise children.
If you die, I will have to take care of you, is that appropriate?"
"Your Majesty, please take us back to Weizhou!" Everyone prostrated and cried: "If a man dies, he will die. Your Majesty will take care of our children and we will die without regrets."
Shao Shude did not answer, only said: "Let's share this plate of meat together. Why are you crying and crying for a seven-foot man?"
When everyone heard this, they came forward one by one, took the meat and ate it.
Shao Shude saved the last piece of meat, and after eating he said: "It's so good to eat with the warriors. When the military trumpets go out, you will naturally defend my residence. From now on, when I go to Weibo, there are no other kings by my side. I feel a little uneasy."
Come on. It’s time to celebrate the Chinese New Year…”
Everyone laughed again, wiped their tears, and sat upright.
"I will issue a "Chasing Wei Bo Zhi", which may be of use to you all at that time," Shao Shude said.
It has already been planned with Sikong Ting.
Although Luo Shaowei's status is in jeopardy, he is the military governor after all, and everyone still has to listen to him in name. If he does something bad, he has too many tricks. Just a tip can make the battlefield one-way transparent. If at a critical moment,
Slower movements can lead to disaster.
Now it seems that he has figured it out.
After the Great Revolution, the Great Xia was rising, and it was difficult for the town of Weibo alone to withstand it. In the east of Hedong, Chengde's reinforcements were repeatedly repulsed, leaving them in an isolated and helpless situation.
He has a strong desire to surrender, but now there is an obstacle and he needs to use external force to remove this obstacle.
The plan was settled, and Wei Bo's outcome was already decided.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Jianji, Shao Shude ordered the Gongchen Army to go north and put it under the command of Lu Huaizhong.
Longxiang's army left Xu Si on the right wing to frighten Huainan.
And he took Yin'an Zhi and the left wing of Long Xiang's army, westward through Songzhou, Bianzhou, Zhengzhou, and returned to Luoyang.
At this point, the first patrol after taking the throne is over.
The results were great: it improved prestige and stabilized people's hearts; punished a group of officials and calmed the public's anger; initiated the reform of government troops and town troops in border areas; set the tone for future shipbuilding and maritime trade; and also fought with Sikong Ting.
He planned the great plan to pacify Wei Bo.
He is carefully controlling this world, and it seems that everything is under control at the moment.
