The eighth day of the second lunar month in the first year of Wende, a few days after the Spring Society Festival.
Shao Shude dressed up under Zhao Yu's service.
The eldest daughter is already married and is a young talent in the town. Zhao Yu has nothing to be dissatisfied with. Now she is devoted to her husband and son. Women of this era are so "cute".
"In a few days, let's go and stay in Lingzhou." Shao Shude pinched Zhao Yu's face and said with a smile.
"You're old and yellow, what's there to worry about?" Zhao Yu helped Shao Shude straighten his robe.
"Then pinch something else." Shao Shude put his hand on his buttocks and said, "This is what girls from your Zhao family are good at."
It was okay for Shao Shude not to mention this matter, but he was a little angry when he mentioned Zhao Yu.
Zhao Shu has been asked by her to be her personal maid, and she is determined not to let Lang Jun get into trouble.
"Miss Zhuge may be pregnant." Zhao Yu suddenly said after finishing arranging her robes.
Shao Shude was a little surprised and then suddenly realized.
During that time in Lingzhou, he had no wives or concubines, only four maids to accompany him. He had a dark psychology towards Zhuge that could not be told to others, so he enjoyed it day and night, and it was normal for him to become pregnant.
"Then let her stay in Xiazhou." Shao Shude said.
When I go to Lingzhou, not all my wives and concubines are with me.
Da Feng just wanted to stay with his newborn Jiao Er and accompany her day and night, while Xiao Feng stayed with her as a sister.
The Weicai family didn't go either. The only ones who really followed were the wife Zhe Fangmiao, the concubine Zhao Yu, Yeli Lingji, and Buzang Miao'e. Well, Tuoba Pu had already gone first, and Marshal Shao still didn't dare to let him go.
She followed him, even though Zheshi had already known about this woman's existence.
Sooner or later, I have to let the Zheju clan and the Tuoba clan serve this king together! Shao made a great wish.
Naturally, it is impossible for a handsome man to travel alone.
The Wuwei Army and the Dingyuan Army, with more than 14,000 infantry and cavalry, have already set off for Shannan West Road, and the Tianxiong Army has also set off for Qinzhou.
The Yi Congjun, with 6,000 cavalry on both sides, went north to Zhenwu Army City, while 8,000 Zhenwu Army soldiers stayed behind to guard Xia Sui.
The only ones that can be taken away are actually the Iron Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry, which have six thousand cavalry.
More than 70,000 troops, but not enough?! This thing makes...
Before leaving, Shao Shude received many pieces of information from the Listening Department.
After the two interceptions, the relationship between Wuning Army Shi Pu and Zhu Quanzhong deteriorated sharply. In November, Shi Pu personally led an army of 70,000 to fight against the Xuanwu Army and was defeated. Zhu Quanzhong diverted his troops to attack Suzhou, and the governor Zhang You surrendered.
However, Zhu Quanzhong's main force was used up, and his rear was also stolen. Qin Zongquan's troops captured Xuzhou and captured Wang Yun, the Zhongwu army entrusted by Zhu Quanzhong to stay in the rear, which was also miraculous.
Qin Zongquan was captured by his general Shen Cong in December. In order to prevent him from escaping, Shen Cong deliberately broke Qin Zongquan's legs and then surrendered to Zhu Quanzhong. Zhu Quanzhong told Shen Cong to stay behind during Caizhou Jiedu.
Seeing this, Shao Shude felt that Zhu Quanzhong's approach was not very safe. Isn't this just bringing money into the group? On the surface, Caizhou was recovered, but in fact? It was still in the hands of Cai thieves, but Qin Zongquan was replaced by Shen Zongquan.
Just a cluster.
But when he saw the next one, he was speechless.
Another general of Qin Zongquan's army, Guo Fan, attacked and killed Shen Cong and Pei She, sent Qin Zongquan to Bianzhou, and explained that these two men wanted to reestablish Qin Zongquan. Zhu Quanzhong was too lazy to care about the trouble between them, and expressed that Guo Fan was the governor of Huaixi.
Stay behind.
Cai Thief, who was running rampant for a while, is now considered to be out of fashion.
The imperial army commanded by Prime Minister Wei Zhaodu entered Shu.
Zhu Mei's Fengxiang army attacked Mianzhou and killed the governor Yang Shohou. Based on this, they managed the city and conquered Gao Renhou, the commander-in-chief of Dongchuan who refused to enter the court.
Yang Shouhou is also a fake son of the Yang family.
Yang Fugong, Yang Shouzhong, Yang Shouxin, Yang Shouli and others have been executed by Ximen Zhongsui himself, and Yang Shouzong was killed by Zhu Quanzhong in Xuzhou. Now that Yang Shohou has died again, the "Yang Family Class" has become a little more popular, that is, Qiongnan Festival
Yang Shouliang, the military governor, and Yang Shouzhen, the military commander of Suizhou.
Mianzhou is a large county with a population of more than 100,000 in eight counties. If you count the hidden household registration, it is not surprising that there are 200,000. Based on this, Zhu Mei established a foothold first and then moved to other states and counties. It is indeed a comparison
A safe choice.
The 20,000 Shence Army led by Wei Zhaodu also entered Chengdu. They won two battles and captured and killed 15,000 Xichuan troops.
Chen Jingxuan was so anxious that he dispersed all his wealth. Only then did he stabilize his military morale a little, and planned to make a last-ditch effort.
This is just novices pecking each other! Shao Shude put the information aside. Chen and Wei are two novices. Even though Chen is a pie seller and Wei Zhaodu is the prime minister, in real terms, Wei may be more of a novice. Only
However, the 20,000 Shence Army he recruited in Guandong Prefecture and County are not bad enough yet. Ximen Wentong, Li Yuan, Mancun and others are also considered to be somewhat capable.
It is not certain who will end up in the hands of this big town of Xichuan.
On February 11, Shao Shude's family, numbering over a hundred people, headed for Lingzhou under the escort of a large group of soldiers. They were accompanied by six thousand cavalrymen, including iron cavalry and leopard cavalry.
More than a month later, the entire army arrived in Huaiyuan County, Lingzhou. Chen Cheng, deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, was also ordered to arrive in Liangzhou, with full authority to handle the increasingly complicated local political affairs.
As for Marshal Shao, the "chief director" of the whole show, he has no plans to go west for the time being. Instead, he is handling official duties in Lingzhou and spending time with his family. The current situation does not seem to be overly complicated, and it is just a good time to observe the talents of his generals.
"Judge Chen." In the Hexi Jiedu envoy's office, Weng Gao cupped his hands and said.
"Weng Shuai." Chen Cheng is now negotiating with Weng Gao as the shogunate judge of the Hexi Observatory.
"Why did Judge Chen come to Liangzhou?" Weng Gao said confidently.
He is no longer a defense envoy, but a serious military envoy. Although he does not have a part-time job as an observer, he is definitely the nominal number one figure in the three states of Hexi.
And he has "spiritual strength" to support him.
Since the end of Tianbao, although the country's power has been sluggish, no vassal town has dared to disown the imperial court. There are unruly generals, stupid generals, insidious generals, and cruel generals everywhere, but they all
Where have you gone?
Huang Chao swept the world, marched into Chang'an, and stayed there for several years. In the end, he was still defeated and killed?
Datang is still there, everyone else is dead!
He was the Hexi Jiedu envoy appointed by the imperial court, and was granted a banner by the emperor. Liangzhou Fumo, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Suzhou Longjia and even Ganzhou Uighurs all tried their best to seek canonization from the imperial court. This is the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
This is also Weng Gao’s confidence.
Of course, after having been an official for half his life, he is not a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today. In fact, he is still very politically savvy, and he defeated the former Jiedu Commander Zheng.
That's what he's proud of.
It's not like there's no chance at all right now.
Thinking of the emperor's favor and the belief he had respected throughout his life, Weng Gao didn't want to surrender so easily.
He still wanted to struggle.
"The king of Lingwu County has raised thousands of households from Guanzhong and wants to send them to Guzang and Shenniao counties for cultivation. In order to avoid harassment and plunder by Sumo, he will send troops to protect these fields and Dingkou. They are temporarily left by Liangzhou
The seven cities were beheaded and put under the control of Yang Yue."
"I can take care of all the civilian and military fields in the town. General Yang has indeed done great service in guarding the country's borders, but cultivating the fields is definitely not what the director is good at. The shogunate has officials who are good at camp affairs and can take over this matter.
Prince Wu, don’t worry.”
"Oh? Could Weng Shuai be able to supply cattle, farm tools, and seeds?" Chen Cheng said with a half-smile.
"Not all of the tribes in the Anhui Province are wolf-hearted people, but there are also tribal leaders who are loyal to the imperial court. Even if I show shame, I will borrow the cattle." Weng Gao said without giving in.
Chen Cheng glanced at him and said: "Shuai Weng doesn't have to worry about this. The king of Lingwu County has his own sense of proportion. The households will come in a few days and prepare their own cattle, farm tools, and seeds. The money and grain earned will be used to supply military supplies."
"
Hearing the word "munitions", Weng Gao hesitated slightly. Using this to control Liangzhou couldn't be easier. We must summon all the generals in the government tonight to stabilize the position first.
In the late Guangming Dynasty, he had overcome all the difficulties. As long as the state soldiers still supported him and faced the imperial court, he would have the power to protect himself. Shao Shude couldn't openly kill the imperial military envoy, right? This is inconsistent with his past actions.
"One more thing, should there be corresponding files for all the ministries and the Liangzhou government office? The King of Lingwu County wants to send someone to make a copy of it in case of emergency needs."
"During the Qianfu period, Liangzhou was captured in Liangzhou, and the city was looted. Now it is difficult to find it."
After hearing this, Chen Cheng was about to say something, but something happened in his heart.
In the early years of Qianfu's reign, Fu Mo even sent people to garrison in Xichuan Town to guard against Nanzhao. However, he was so obedient, but Liangzhou was captured in the blink of an eye. It was not until the fourth year of Qianfu's reign that Zhang Huaishen sent troops to take it back.
Chen Cheng didn't know what happened, but he knew with his toes that it might not be that simple.
This small temple in Liangzhou is really full of evil spirits!
After ending his fruitless meeting with Weng Gao, Chen Cheng came to Miyagi City in the north of the city.
This was built by Li Gui.
After the Tubo people occupied it, they did not destroy it. On the contrary, they renovated and expanded it and used it as the residence of Bede Lun (Tubo Liangzhou Jiedushi).
Chen Cheng looked at the palace complex in the dark night and felt a little emotional. The commander-in-chief had already captured the territory of Daodelun (Hezhou Jiedushi) in the east of Tubo, and was now trying to capture the territory of Daodelun in North Tubo. This power was so powerful that the Daodelun in those days was afraid
Hot, Shang maidservant, Shang Yanxin, Tuoba Huaiguang can't keep up with him even if he pats the horse.
After Chen Cheng left, many people came to Weng Mansion one after another in the evening.
"Commander! Pu She! Ming Gong!"
The shogunate's aides stepped forward one after another and supported Weng Gao, who was crying bitterly.
Weng Gao said nothing, just shook his head, looking miserable.
Zhang Hongxin remained silent, Li Mingzhen hesitated to speak, and several other generals looked blank. The most excited ones were the civilian staff.
"Hexi Shogunate, the imperial court has been running for more than 20 years. Now it will be lost in the hands of someone. It will be lost in the hands of all of you." Weng Gao squeezed out a few tears and said with a sad face.
Everyone continued to look at each other.
Zhang Hongxin couldn't stand it anymore and reminded: "Commander, the shogunate is still there and Liangzhou is still there."
He dared to swear to God that although he had been on a mission to Lingzhou for a period of time, he was really not Shao Shude's, and Shao Shude had never deliberately attracted him. Everything he had done was not
For Liangzhou!
Continuing to hold on like this half-dead, the decrees are of no use outside the city. The best ditches outside the city are occupied by the Momo people for farming, and the best pastures are also occupied by the Momo people for grazing. Is this interesting?
It would be better to let the King of Lingwu County send troops to sweep away the Tumo and Tibet in Liangzhou, and the situation may suddenly become clearer. Even if Shuofang's army is defeated, it doesn't matter, the worst is to return to the old way.
"An Xiuxiu is entrenched in the palace city and will not leave. In a few days, there will be an army coming. How will our Liangzhou army deal with it then?" Weng Gao said: "If Shao Shude wants to kill us, he can't just think about it.
?We are all just fish on the chopping block.”
Zhang Hongxin was stunned. At this time, Weng Shuai still couldn't let go of this little bit of power. He was already in love, what else could he say?
"Ming Gong, what do you think we should do?" Li Mingzhen asked suddenly.
"What's the use of talking about it? People are not united, and there is no need to do anything." Weng Gao wiped his tears with his sleeve and sighed.
"Let me tell you first, we are all old people who have supported each other all the way. If it is not really helpless, who would be willing to surrender to an outsider who doesn't know his roots?" Li Mingzhen turned around and looked at the generals and said, "Yes or no?"
Zhang Hongxin sighed secretly that what he said to Li Mingzhen a few days ago was in vain.
Anyway, I am not a heartless person. If Shao Shude was willing to accept the surrender of Liangzhou Town and keep all the generals and subordinates in their old posts, he would have surrendered without hesitation, but this is obviously not the case now.
If Weng Shuai's strategy is really feasible, it may be the way to go.
