On the tenth day of April, more and more soldiers gathered in Jinyang.
First, the main force of the Youguo Army arrived, followed by the various units of the Tielin Army, with more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry, and a huge momentum. It was probably the first time in the past 28 years that so many foreign troops appeared around Jinyang after the rebellion of Li Guochang and his son.
On April 12, the Battle of Luzhou broke out.
In front of the hall, Zhang Wanjin, the deputy commander of the Huangjia Army, forced strong men to join the army and took the city to rebel.
An Yuanxin, general of Shilingguan Town, captured Yangqu County and plundered the surrounding areas.
Yang Yuanhan, a junior high school student, gathered hundreds of local regiments from various prefectures and counties and moved to Ningwuguan to rebel.
In addition, the Yuci and Shouyang rebellions have subsided, the Loufan rebellion has been suppressed, and most of the other armies have surrendered. The situation is much better than expected, and Li Keyong has made outstanding contributions.
On April 15th, Shi Shucong, the commander of the military capital of North Guanzhou Province, led more than 10,000 people to Ningwuguan and attacked it fiercely.
Thousands of Tibetan troops from the Yinshan Tibetan tribe circled behind and attacked from the north and south, breaking his army and killing Yang Yuanhan.
On April 17, Shao Shude issued a message: Silver Spear served the righteousness, and the two armies of the Guards and Golden Spear merged into the Qing Sai Army, with Shi Jingrong as the military envoy.
The Kelan Army was formed with more than 10,000 troops from Zuoshe, Xiongwei, Tingzhi and Lanshi, with Zhou Dewei as the military envoy.
At the same time, he strictly ordered all the ministries: After the death of the King of Jin, many armies were strong and strong, and they recruited troops and horses. All actions are prohibited now. All armies immediately checked the detailed number of troops and reported them to the court. All rewards should be distributed according to the roster. Do not take it upon yourself to do so.
error.
A rough calculation shows that there are now six Jin-style troops of Wansheng Huangtou, Tiancheng, Datong, Baoning, Qingsai, and Kelan. Their strength is generally complete, and they have even been expanded due to the recruitment of troops in the past month. In fact,
Quite a burden.
If you include the four armies of Youguo, Weisheng, Hengye, and Pinglu, you can only say fuck me!
Shao Shude worked really hard. Unexpectedly, the larger the territory, the more miscellaneous troops surrendered. Once Hedong surrendered, the number even doubled. The total strength of the ten miscellaneous troops reached 160,000 to 70,000, and most of them were experienced battlefield warriors.
The old people cannot be demobilized, so we are worried that they will rebel.
It's not that you can't win. The main reason is that once you rebel, even if it doesn't form a chain reaction, it will inevitably corrupt the place. You send troops to suppress it and then corrupt it again. Economically speaking, you will lose money. Politically speaking, it is also very bad.
Historically, the Five Dynasties Dynasty did not dare to move these surrendered troops. But if you don't move them, you must be mentally prepared for thunder.
However, Shao Shude has been playing with surrendered troops and generals for almost ten years, and he is very perseverant. He must find a way to deal with these surrendered troops, whether it is formal recruitment, war attrition or other methods.
He plans to take action against the Youguo Army this year.
The reason why I chose this target is because the old foundation of the Youguo Army is Liang Bing, who is relatively obedient, has good obedience, and has very strong combat effectiveness.
In recent years, some soldiers have been retired due to their deaths in battle. Ding Hui has recruited a group of new soldiers in Qizhou, Huangzhou, Anzhou and other places to supplement the establishment. But overall, the combat effectiveness is still there, especially with experience.
After the two battles of Yiding and Chengde, compared with the years when they were stationed in Qizhou, their combat effectiveness has improved, making them a very suitable target for annexation.
The soldiers of the Youguo Army are fine and will not cause trouble, but what about the generals?
In fact, Ding Hui is getting older and has lost his ambition. Just this year, he wrote to the court, requesting the abolition of Qizhou Town. The court promised him that he planned to use a title to completely solve this historical problem.
Kong Qing, the deputy whom Ding Hui had carefully cultivated over the years, was also very interested in entering the Forbidden Army system. He knew that after Ding Hui's death, he would not be able to become the Qizhou Defense Envoy, so he had to make plans in advance.
Yang Xingmi secretly sent people to win over him before his death, but he was unwilling to betray Ding Hui. After Xingmi passed away, he was even less interested in defecting to Yang Wu. Now that Hedong has surrendered, Chengde will perish. After thinking about it, he can only grow old.
Carry out the work for Daxia honestly.
Based on these many conditions, Shao Shude decided to eliminate more than 10,000 Youguo troops this year, just after the riots in Hedong were quelled.

On April 19, Fu Cunshen led his troops to Sanjiaoyi. With Tielin Army and Youguo Army as the main forces, he opened up the battle array and fought in an array with tens of thousands of soldiers brought by An Yuanxin.
There are only about 2,000 real warriors in Abe, about 3,000 who have some fighting ability, and the rest are vulnerable.
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, the An army was defeated.
An Yuanxin led his troops to retreat to Yangqu, and Tielin Army and Youguo Army pursued them. They attacked for two consecutive days, but the remnants of An's army could not hold on and fled again.
On the 25th, the army pursued Shiling Town and defeated it again.
An Yuanxin did not even dare to defend Shiling Pass anymore. He fled eastward with hundreds of horsemen accompanying him. He was overtaken by Tielin Army in Mount Wutai and killed by veteran general Xu Haozhen.
In less than ten days, Anyuan Xinbu, which once attracted tens of thousands of people, disappeared into thin air.
Fu Cunshenbu beheaded more than 3,000 people and captured more than 4,000 people. The rest collapsed into the mountains and did not bother to spend the money to search - the Tutuan countrymen would secretly return home and farm their land in peace, and a few
When a martial artist is desperate, he will slowly return to society, either as a guard for a businessman or as a stickman for others, slowly clearing his identity. If he waits for amnesty, he will be freed directly.
These people are no longer in trouble.
On April 26, Shao Shude led the Feilong Army, Yin Anzhi and more than 10,000 Tibetan soldiers to Shiling Pass.
"These killers from Hedong!" Looking at the two to three hundred old and weak soldiers and prisoners left in Guancheng, Shao Shude smiled bitterly and said, "Send them all to Beiping to build the palace city."
After saying that, he personally took Fu Cunshen's hand and said: "Fu Qing's advance has been very fast and he has repeatedly defeated stubborn enemies. Without Qing, the situation in Taiyuan Prefecture would have been repeated."
"Your Majesty." Fu Cunshen shook his head seriously and said seriously: "This is all due to His Majesty's divine power."
Shao Shude was stunned, Fu Cunshen didn't look like someone who could flatter him.
"Your Majesty has always taught me to seek truth from facts." Fu Cunxen said: "Your Majesty arranged the posthumous affairs for the King of Jin in Jincheng Town, and everyone in Hedong admired him. Therefore, in more than a month, most of the Jin army surrendered, and only Li Kening, Yang Yuanhan, Zhang Wanjin, and An
Yuan Xin and a few others rebelled. Zhou Dewei of the Kelan Army took the initiative to suppress the rebellion, killed the rebels, and tried to ensure that the western front of Taiyuan Prefecture was not lost, and the Lanshi Prefecture was stable. I thought that it was His Majesty's grace that convinced everyone in Hedong.
The merits of my ministers and others are not worth mentioning."
Another political warrior!
Shao Shude smiled happily.
These days, most warriors are just big muscles but not brains. Like aggressive roosters, it is not easy to meet someone who talks about politics. Those who talk about politics and have some ideals and consciousness at the same time are even rarer.
Among the generals who followed Shao Shude in his early years, Wang Yu was considered to have ideals, but he was not from a good background. When he was young, he fought and killed, and he was also an aggressive rooster. As a result, he was exhausted and died young. Lu Huaizhong also had ideals.
Yes, it seems that he is in good health at the moment, and he can still lead the army in battle even though he is over fifty years old.
Ge Congzhou may not have any ideals, but he is really political, and Shao Shude will give him a chance later.
Now that Fu Cunshen has emerged, Daxia has so many talented commanders - he is much better than Fu Yanqing, who was very famous in the Five Dynasties. He fought more than 200 battles in his life without losing a single defeat.
"Your Majesty, An Yuanxin has been calmed down, and now only Zhang Wanjin is left." Fu Cunshen added: "Yesterday, Luzhou came to report that Zhang Wanjin captured Guo Chongtao, the official of the Zhaoyi shogunate, and then sent him out of the city with a message that he was willing to surrender.
, please appoint me as the governor of Luzhou."
"Do you want me to please you?" Shao Shude sneered, "I don't want to!"
Part of the reason for the corruption of the Five Dynasties was brought about by appeasement and accommodation.
After Li Cunxu destroyed the Later Liang Dynasty, he sought to pacify Shu again and was extremely powerful. At this time, the Later Tang Dynasty was also the one with the largest area of jurisdiction among the Five Dynasties dynasties.
But due to such overwhelming power, Yang Li, a junior high school student in Jinzhou, rebelled, Zhao Tai, a soldier in Xingzhou, and Huangfu Hui, a leading soldier in Weizhou, rebelled...
Why do you dare to rebel? The hope that the imperial court will appease you and achieve success in one step is a factor that cannot be ignored.
"Recruit his father! Recruit his mother!" Shao Shude said: "Send orders to Shi Jingrong and Shi Jiantang. I am not used to the bad habits of the Luzhou warriors. If you dare to rebel, you must dare to die and attack the city with all your strength! In addition, Zhou Dewei was appointed
For Luzhou, we camped on all sides to recruit envoys. Kelan, the Qingsai Army, and all the troops in Lushatuo and Tuyuhun were all under his control. We must capture Luzhou and kill Zhang Wanjin. I will let the people of the world
Take a look, don’t try to negotiate conditions, I won’t tolerate them.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng immediately arranged for a messenger to deliver the order.
Not every emperor is qualified to speak so harshly.
This is a speech based on strength, but also a speech based on determination. To appease and appease, in the end, the prestige is ruined, the whole country is in flames, the body is dead and the country is destroyed.
******
On the second day of May, Shao Shude arrived in Jinyang and entered through Changxia Gate.
Ten thousand Tibetan soldiers stayed at Shiling Pass, Hubeikou and other places, and 20,000 Feilong Army soldiers were stationed in five guard cities outside Jinyang. Yin'anzhi, Tielin Army, and Youguo Army followed them into the city, while Baoning Army moved to
outside the city.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Princess Liu of the Jin Dynasty, Li Luoluo, the successor king of the Jin Dynasty, Li Xiji, the governor of Hedong Road, and others arrived in the north of Jinyang City.
Shao Shude sent Chen Cheng out of the city to greet him, and after sending Liu and others back to the Prince of Jin's Mansion, he moved into He's house himself.
Returning to the old place brings a lot of emotions.
More than 20 years ago, he once had the idea of staying in Hedong and seizing this king's foundation. But at that time, the court still had prestige, and it was impossible to hand over this fundamental important place to him. As expected, Prime Minister Zheng Congyun later took over as the governor of Hedong.
So, no one else has anything to do.
Compared with more than 20 years ago, Jinyang has hardly changed and is even more shabby.
Shao Shude had no interest in wandering around. He was handling official duties in He's house and meeting various officials.
What worries him the most right now is the memorial sent back from Shu by his eldest son, Shao Chengjie.
After Erlang defeated Li Maozhen, his main task in the past six months was to put down the rebellion in central Shu. Not only the remnants of Li Maozhen, but also the Qiang people and the barbarian rebels. It was not until last month that the chaos was calmed down.
Sichuan is rough and safe.
These were expected and would not attract Shao Shude's attention. What really made him hesitate was Erlang's proposal to drive Shu soldiers to attack Qianzhong Town and eliminate Wang Jianzhao. The reason was that Zhao Kuangning, the military envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, was slow to act and did not wait until March.
We have just sent out troops and have only had one small battle with the Guizhou people so far, which can be described as painless.
Shao Shude was both happy and worried about his son's ambition, but overall he was happy.
But he still hesitated, mainly because of two things.
The first thing: the eldest son is not yet married, and Zhu Shuzong's daughter has been waiting for him for a long time. It would be outrageous not to come back.
The second thing: The degree of development in central Guizhou is limited, and barbarians are everywhere, and they are not willing to obey the king. Well, barbarians and other things are really nothing. What is really terrifying is the harsh primitive environment.
The eldest son and heir unfortunately fell ill and died, is that okay? Shao Shude couldn't accept it.
After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision: call his son back from Shu to get married first, and use this time to think carefully.
Thinking of this, he immediately issued a decree.
At the same time, all armies in Shu were strictly prohibited from acting without authorization, and those who disobeyed orders would be killed. Half of the Yi Cong army that had entered Shu was divided to guard the Longjian states.
