"Young brother, I don't know when I will see you again when I leave." At the gate of Huayue Temple, Li Keyong said while looking at the troops of the Dingding Army who were preparing to meet him at the foot of the mountain.
"Brother Xian will stay here and send you here." Shao Shude said: "If you have time next year, you can go to Zhenwu Army City for a while, so it will be just you and me."
"That's fine." Li Keyong nodded.
The two of them each brought their own soldiers to meet each other, which was a euphemistic expression of goodwill. If each led a large army to hunt, it would be another story. Very good, a major hidden danger in the west has been solved, and in the future, Meng Fangli can be attacked with confidence, and He
Two people, Lian Duo.
Shao Shude also breathed a sigh of relief. He eased the relationship with Li Keyong and became brothers. At least he didn't have to worry about the Zhenwu Army being attacked. The location of Dingnan Six Prefectures was quite good. There were weak chickens nearby, and the river was blocked to the east.
It is fortified, and there is Hengshan Mountain to the south. If the enemy comes, it is most convenient to take the route of the Zhenwu Army. I still remember that more than thirty years later in history, Yelu Abao led 300,000 people to attack Fengzhou, and he took the Zhenwu Army.
.
If the Zhenwu Army and the Tiande Army are not taken down, the defense lines of Yinshan Mountain and the cities outside the river cannot be stabilized, and the basic foundation of the six states will be threatened.
Of course, this is passive defense. Active defense is to actively gather and even control the Heishan Dangxiang, Uighur, Tuyuhun, Qibi and other tribes north of Yinshan Mountain. The positions are there. If you don't occupy them, the enemy will. Wait until the Khitans become powerful.
, after controlling these tribes and turning around to attack you, it will be too late to regret it.
If you recruit one more tribe, the Khitans will recruit one less tribe. This is a very clear principle.
"All the adopted sons are here to see off Father Ji." Before leaving, Li Keyong asked all the adopted sons to come forward.
"Father Ji, walk slowly."
"Uncle, you can come to Hedong when you have time."
"Uncle Xian will definitely come again."
"Nephews, please don't send me away. We will see each other again in the future." Shao Shude said with a smile.
Wang Chongrong and his son also came to see each other off at the gate of the mountain. After a brief greeting with Shao Shude, he said goodbye and left.
Dingnan and Hezhong are commercial competitors. Youzhou has Huluo Salt Pond, Lingzhou has a salt pond, Tiande Army has a salt pond, and Yanzhou has several large salt ponds - in fact, in the Xixia era, Yanzhou's
The salt output far exceeded that of Ling, You, Feng and other places, with good quality and low price, and was dumped in large quantities in Song Dynasty.
There are so many salt ponds. Naturally, if you want to sell salt, the Guanzhong market with a population of two to three million is very important. Its direct competitors are the two major salt ponds in the river. It is hard to say what Wang Chongrong's attitude will be towards himself in the future.
Woolen cloth.
After arriving at the Weishui camp all the way, we saw that the camp was well prepared. The sergeants were all sitting on the ground wearing armor and holding equipment in their hands. The generals also gathered together and were ready to dispatch at any time.
Shao Shude was also a little moved when he saw it. He was afraid that something might happen to him, so he was ready to go to Huayue Temple to avenge himself at any time.
However, his emotion only lasted for a moment, and then he thought that among the generals under his command, whoever could avenge him would be the best to achieve great justice and take the lead in the struggle for power in the town after his death. Damn it, didn't he?
Saved, what a great thing, I just want to go out so far.
Political creatures are really hopeless.
"Commander, how are you?" After returning to the Chinese army's tent, Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng, Lu Siye and others came over and asked softly.
"I and Li Shuai from Hedong are brothers. Li Shuai doesn't ask about the affairs of Guanbei, and I don't infringe on the territory of Hedong." Shao Shude replied briefly.
"That's very good." Chen Cheng clapped his hands and praised: "Now we can't go south to Guanzhong. The troops in Hedong are strong, so we can't take them lightly. We have only two ways to go north and west. If we eliminate the threat from Hedong, we can calmly deal with the Tiande army and strengthen the military.
The army is not afraid of them surrendering to Li Keyong."
"This is a good result. Let's rest for one night and set off tomorrow to break camp and return to Chang'an. Then, let's return to town."
"As commanded."
On the 26th, Shao Shude returned to Chang'an with his army.
At this time, order in the capital has basically been restored. In other words, order has never been chaotic. It was just that people were a little panicked when the saint fled, fearing that the rebels would enter the city. After so many days, the situation seemed to have stabilized, and people
Then he slowly returned to normal life.
How many times in history was there chaos in Chang'an after Huang Chao was conquered? Shao Shude can't remember clearly. But the warlords fought in a melee and the people were definitely displaced. Song Wentong slowly expanded from Fengxiang to the territory of one prefecture and two states, and then Guandong's influence
If they get involved, the people in Guanzhong will suffer a great crime.
If this life were to be repeated, Guanzhong would be much more stable. The careerists who were suppressed to death by themselves had no chance to stand out, such as Mr. Song who was still a general in the Shence Army.
But then again, Song Wentong might not have thought that much at first. Once he got to that point, even if he didn't move forward, his subordinates would push him forward, even if he didn't want to expand.
"Commander, all Tian Lingzi's gang members have been executed." After returning to Jinzouyuan, Feng Yin inquired for a while and then came back to report.
Then, he said with a complicated expression: "Wei Cui was among them and had been beheaded on the bank of the Wei River."
"Who is Wei Kui?" As soon as he asked this question, Shao Shude remembered.
While they were making love on the bed, he also asked Feng Du about Wei Nui. As a result, Xiao Feng's face burned like a red cloud. He got into the bed with his back to him and refused to turn over no matter how he was called.
But this is just what I want...
Wei Kui actually also fell in love with Tian Lingzi. It seems that he is quite good at maneuvering, but it's a pity that he fell in love with the wrong person. If he came to surrender to him...
Shao Shude thought of France's King Louis XIV, who had an affair with someone else's wife. That man was also very interesting. He directly wore black clothes representing a widower and even drove a carriage for the King of France.
There are so many wonderful people in the world!
On the 27th, Shao Shude visited Chongsui's house in Ximen again.
Before the army went south to Guanzhong, Ximen Sigong was the lieutenant of the You Shence Army. His position was very high, but the soldiers and generals below him did not listen to him. After Tian Lingzi's death, the emperor appointed Ximen Sigong as the tenth lieutenant of the Shence Army.
The Twelve Guards of the Army watched the military envoys. Those Shu soldiers were quick to see the opportunity and were loyal as soon as possible.
Ximen Sigong used kindness and power at the same time. He punished several generals whom he could not understand, and promoted a few more, which greatly increased his prestige in the army.
In order to avoid suspicion, Ximen Zhongsui did not take over as the lieutenant of the Right Army, and even handed over the post of war envoy to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a chamberlain, starting from the fourth rank. However, no one dared to underestimate him. After all, everyone knew that Ximen Sigong
He is old and will not live for a few more years. In the future, Ximen Zhongsui will definitely take over as the envoy of the Tenth Army and control the imperial army.
If there are no accidents, Yang Fugong will soon serve as a lieutenant in the Left Army or the Right Army. Everyone has a tacit understanding and will not do things to perfection.
After getting in touch with Ximen Zhongsui during this period, Shao Shude also got to know him. This person is ambitious and has a great desire for power. Their family is currently in a cooperative relationship with him. As for the future, it is difficult to say. But he is too lazy to
Please take care of yourself. Just don’t mess with the river. You go and exercise your rights. I will be my local bully. Just don’t cause trouble for me.
As for the rest, you can do whatever you want. You can accept your son as a godson or intervene in the affairs of the southern vassal town. It’s up to you. Anyway, the two people I want to recommend have already been implemented. I don’t want to recommend others for the time being. Those chastity commanders and governors.
You have to divide the fruit and fruit from the supervisory army yourself.
After returning from Ximen Mansion, Shao Shude met Li Kan.
"Doctor Li."
"Prince Lingwu."
"Congratulations to Dr. Li for opening a mansion and building a government office in Kui Gorge. It's a great congratulation."
The matter of re-establishing Kuixia Town has been decided. The town has jurisdiction over the five prefectures of Kui, Xia, Wan, Chongqing and Guizhou. Suizhou will have one less prefecture in its defense history and has jurisdiction over the four prefectures of Sui, He, Chang and Lu.
"It's thanks to the blessing of Prince Lingwu." Li Kan smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that it's not right to take up the post alone. I have to trouble Prince Lingwu again."
"No, Li Shuai had an old relationship with me in the past. Anyone who can help will definitely help." Shao Shude suddenly remembered that when he went to pick up Li Kan in the river, Li Kan said, "Iron armor is like a mountain, and trees are as long as a forest."
Named Tielindu, they are all "old friends" who have been here along the way. Please help if you can.
"The Shence Army will send thousands of people to escort, but it will not be enough after all. We have to recruit more powerful soldiers." Li Kan said.
He is also a veteran martial artist. He has served as Xing Ning, the commander-in-chief of Hedong, and has served as a general and a prime minister. He is also a figure. He knows very well that it is not enough to bring a thousand soldiers to take office, not to mention that he just suffered a defeat in Hedong a few years ago without himself.
Human suffering.
"Where does Commander Li want to recruit troops?" Shao Shude asked.
"The Prince of Lingwu County wants to return to this town?"
"Of course."
"Where to go?"
"Take the Qinggangchuan Avenue to Lingzhou and then return to Xiazhou." Shao Shude replied.
Because of the expedition to Guanzhong, this year's twelfth lunar month's Heaven Sacrifice Conference will definitely not be held. And since it can't be held, it is better to finish what you want to do at once, and then return to Xiazhou to avoid trouble in the future.
According to his idea, after leaving Chang'an this time, he will first go to Yinning Town. He had sent an envoy there yesterday to try to meet Zhao Jian there and talk to him. If possible, wait a little longer.
The first-class Zhi Zongben, and his father-in-law also became the governor, Shao Shude wanted to observe him closely to see his attitude towards him.
In addition to this, there is another important matter, which is to collect intelligence on Huizhou in Yingning Town to see what the situation is like there. Some have been collected in Lingzhou before, but it is not enough. The local garrison in Qingzhou should
Know your neighbors better. If possible, wouldn't it be nice to directly lead an army of 30,000 to kill them and capture Huizhou on the way back to the army?
"In this case, I will go with the Prince of Lingwu County." Li Kan felt relieved and said with a smile: "In the past, when I served as commander in Xingning for four years, there were some old subordinates. Let me go and ask, if you are willing to go south with me,
You can feel more at ease after going to Kuizhou."
"We still need to consult Commander Zhe for his opinion on this matter," Shao Shude said.
"Then we have to go with Prince Lingwu." Li Kan laughed.
The five states of Kuixia are adjacent to Jingnan, and Qin Zongquan's troops are still wreaking havoc there. Li Kan is also worried that they will go west to Kuixia Town, and it is obviously impossible not to strengthen their armaments.
