Li Keyong personally led his troops out of Yuzhou and attacked Xinzhou.
There was a melee in the four towns of Chengde, Hedong, Yiwu, Youzhou, and Chengde.
Zhu Quanzhong sent his son Zhu Youyu to lead 50,000 troops to Xuzhou to join Dinghui and attack Shipu.
General Li Shenfu under Yang Xingmi's tent was in Lu, and a fierce battle was going on in Shuzhou.
After Sun Ru was destroyed, the conflict between Qian and Yang broke out. Qian Liu was eager to regain the territory in western Zhejiang occupied by Yang Xingmi and attacked Changzhou.:.
The remnants of Sun Ru's army were led by Wang Tan, Liu Jianfeng, Ma Yin and others, and rushed into Jiangxi. Prefectures and counties fell one after another, and no one could stop them.
Ximen Wentong sent his troops to attack Chengdu fiercely, leaving Chen Jingxuan in danger.
Li Kan sent troops to attack Leiman in Langzhou.
Outside Fuzhou City, Wang Shenchao and Fan Hui continued to fight fiercely.
At the foot of Xiangyang City, the Zhongyi Army swore an oath and set off, heading down the Han River to attack Fuzhou.
At the western foot of Helan Mountain, Yinqiang all marched westward, intending to cooperate with the tribal troops from Gansu, Liang and Suzhou to encircle and suppress Dangxiang in Hexi.
Good guy, the war never stops in the entire Tang Dynasty.
The war season in the fourth year of Dashun (893) started with a lightning strike!
On this day in Chang'an, the saint was still offering sacrifices.
At the end of the community sacrifice, Taichang musicians played "Kai'an", with six changes of the image: "The first change is like the dragon Ginsengxu, the second change is like Keding Guanzhong, the third change is like Dongxia Binfu, the fourth change is like Jianghuaiping...
…”
The saint burst into tears.
The sages of the Li family settled in Guanzhong, defeated Dou Xia, and brought peace to Jianghuai. The past scenes are like yesterday.
What is it like now? The vassal towns are domineering, there are wars everywhere, the world is falling apart, and the emperor is trapped in Beijing.
After returning to the palace, the saint had no energy for many days. He was even less interested in building a few new palaces, especially after knowing that some of the wood used to build the palaces came from Li Yanling and Fengxiang Jiedu, the military commanders of the Zhaoxin Army.
After the envoy Zhe Silun and Li Bai, the envoy of Xingning Jiedu, jointly handed over the confession, they were even in a bad mood.
Since the town of Pingning was so close to Chang'an, Shao Shude not only arranged for a military envoy, Qing and Ning prefectures also rearranged their governors, the former was Zhao Cen of Suizhou and the latter was Sun Dian of Fangzhou.
In Guanzhong, almost all of them were his followers. However, his reputation among the scholars soared. Some people wrote poems to praise him, and some said that Dong Chang could be made King of Yue, so please make Shao Shude the King of Xia.
It makes people angry just to hear it!
On February 30th, the saint went to court listlessly.
The tool men and officials went to court together and retreated together. Cui Zhaowei, Wei Zhaodu, and Liu Chongwang stayed behind. Zheng Yanchang glanced at the three of them, shook his head, and went to the government office to work on financial matters.
"Li Keyong, the governor of Hedong, asked Shi Shanyou to be the governor of the Datong Army. What do the three division commanders think?" The saint rarely found some interesting fun and asked.
"Your Majesty, Helian Duo must have been defeated. I heard that he fled to the grassland and did not know where he ended up. You might as well agree to this matter. Hedong will continue to make offerings every year. He is practical and loyal, so his heart cannot be chilled." Wei Zhaodu suggested.
.
The sage's purpose in asking this was obviously not this. He hesitated for a while and suddenly asked: "Will Ke Yong and Shu De attack each other?"
"Your Majesty, Ke Yong has left Yunzhou and Wei Erzhou to the east to attack Youzhou. Shude has gathered troops in large numbers and stationed them in Weibei. It doesn't look like he is going to attack Hedong." Wei Zhaodu replied.
"What does Shude want to do in Weibei?"
"Your Majesty, I seem to be talking about Takeda hunting."
"As a vassal, what qualifications does he have to talk about Takeda hunting?" The saint's face flashed with anger, and then he sighed helplessly: "It's not interesting to fight since it can't be fought."
Wei Zhaodu felt helpless. As an emperor, why would he want his vassals to fight all the time?
"The officers and soldiers of Youzhou please accept Li Kuangchou as the envoy of Lulong Festival." After Wei Zhaodu finished speaking, Cui Zhaowei cleared his throat and said: "Li Kuang has donated 500,000 pieces of silk, 200,000 pieces of money, and thousands of gold and silver utensils.
The sergeants escorted them on the road and sent them to Chang'an. Your Majesty may wish to grant them for the benefit of the country."
Generally, if a "remaining queen" rebels and comes to power, the imperial court will go along with the situation and agree. What's more, Li Kuang is knowledgeable and interested and is willing to donate property, so there is no need to stop him.
"Where is Converse?" the saint suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Wei and Cui were a little embarrassed. The imperial court had far fewer ways to get information than the various vassals and towns. Unless the local authorities took the initiative to sign up, they usually got delayed information.
In fact, Li Kuangwei currently has a family and is unable to return, so he is stranded in Chengde.
He once led his army back quickly, but the morale of the sergeants was low, and some people kept defecting back to Youzhou. When he walked to Boye with the only remaining troops, he was defeated by the army sent by Li Kuangchou, and he returned to Zhenzhou in embarrassment. So far,
Most of the soldiers in Youzhou have surrendered to Li Kuangchou. There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses around Kuangwei, and they are all close followers of the party and stay under the protection of others.
He has sent an envoy to Chang'an and plans to join the court as an official, but the court has not received the news yet.
"Your Majesty, most likely Kuang Wei will not be able to return to Youzhou. Perhaps he can be brought into the court to increase the strength of the Imperial Army." Cui Zhaowei suggested: "There are more than 3,000 children of Xu Zhen General School in Yushan City, and their combat power is tyrannical, significantly higher than other cities."
Big cut. If Kuangwei enters the dynasty and brings Youyan's elite troops, it will be even more powerful."
"However, the people of Chang'an have a very bad opinion of Youzhou soldiers, and may not want them to enter the court." The saint said worriedly.
During the An-Shi Rebellion, the Youzhou soldiers were the main force. During the Zhu Si Rebellion during the Jianzhong period, the 5,000 anti-autumn troops from Youzhou were also very active. It was unusual for the people of Chang'an not to want to see them.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Cui Zhaowei said confidently: "Today is different from the past. The troops in Guanzhong are strong. If the Yan soldiers come, they will not dare to make mistakes."
This is the contribution of Marshal Shao. He is almost the patron saint of Guanzhong and protects food very well. Jingzhao Mansion is surrounded by its forces. Although it is aggrieved, it also avoids many external risks, right?
"Then send an envoy to contact Kuangwei. If he is willing to join the court, he will be indispensable for the nobles to show their power."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming." The three prime ministers congratulated in unison.
"The next step is the scientific examination..."
The court's "playing house" was busy, but Marshal Shao was relatively leisurely in Tongzhou.
The Zhenwu Army under Zhang Yanqiu went south from Xiazhou and just arrived in Tongzhou a while ago.
The army is still accelerating its march, and it is expected that it will take some time to arrive.
As the situation changes, more and more Xia army generals now know the key points and details of the next phase of the strategy.
What everyone is most concerned about is when to launch!
"General Zhang, if we succeed in advancing eastward this time, we will be getting closer and closer to Hedong." In Xingde Palace, Shao Shude held a small banquet and invited Zhang Yanqiu to drink.
"Old things in Jinyang, more than ten years have passed in a flash." Zhang Yanqiu picked up the wine glass and stopped drinking for a long time: "Dou Han, Deng Qian, Cui Jikang, Li Kan, Kang Chuangui, Zhang Kai, Guo Fei, Su Hongzhen, He Gongya, haha,
The memory is still fresh."
Shao Shude also felt a little emotional.
Going to Hedong, he found the first pot of gold in his life.
When I went there, I only had fifty brothers with whom I stayed together day and night. When I came back, there were already four thousand members of the Tielin Army.
Yang Xingmi's experience is similar to his.
Shao's father was a sergeant in Fengzhou, and Yang's father was a farmer in Luzhou. He lost his father when he was young. He suffered a lot while growing up. Later, he became a bandit and was arrested by the government.
Yang was very lucky. He was about to be beheaded, but the hero's aura broke out, and he was actually pardoned by the governor. He was also appointed as the commander of the state army and went to Lingzhou to prepare for the autumn.
Shao Dashuai was the captain of the team when he started his career, and Yang Xingmi was also the captain of the team. How similar.
Zhu Quanzhong was even more miserable than the two of them. After his father Zhu Cheng died, he stayed in Liu Chong's house in Xiao County. His mother worked as a servant and his three brothers worked as boys. Later, he and Zhu Er defected to the Chao army. Zhu Er died in a stone attack when he attacked Guangzhou.
Zhu San became the leader of the team, with eighty people under his command, and gradually became prosperous.
The three of them are unique, very different from Li Ke's son who used this kind of discipline.
"In the past, I almost followed Qiu Jianjun to Hezhong." Shao Shude said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I couldn't do it. Now that I'm back, maybe I can go to Hezhong Mansion and have a seat?"
Zhang Yanqiu laughed: "If the commander went to Hezhong in the past, he would not be able to get ahead. Wang Chongrong was born in the Wang family in Hedong. He was a military academy for generations. His father, Wang Zong, was a cavalry commander in Hezhong Town. He defeated Uighur Wujie Khan from Shixiong and married again.
The daughter of the Shi family, she was promoted to the governor of Yanzhou. Chongrong and Chongying became the leader of the army as soon as they entered the army. They were brave enough to win the three armies and their martial arts were unparalleled. Chongrong was able to become the Marquis of Yu in Mabudu in Hezhong. It cost you twice as much to cultivate virtue.
Even if you don’t have enough energy, it’s better to build an army from scratch. When there are fifty people, you can be the leader of the team. When there are hundreds of people, you can be the deputy general.
He's an old brother, he's very comfortable in command, isn't he as comfortable as Chongrong in the Hezhong Army?"
It is difficult to say which one is better, relying on family background to get ahead in the old feudal town, or starting from scratch.
The former can be promoted quickly, and sometimes a mutiny can lead to becoming a military governor, but the interest relationship is complicated and there are many practical constraints. This military commander is elected by the military chiefs of all sizes in the town, and you are just a spokesman for the interests.
The latter needed opportunities. Yang Xingmi encountered the chaotic situation in Luzhou, killed officials and rebelled, and then gained Gao Pian's appreciation and was promoted to the governor of Luzhou. Shao Shude met Li Guochang and his son, and the imperial court was particularly generous, conferring a large number of generals and officers, and also passed through
He followed the path of an eunuch and became the governor of Suizhou. After Zhu Quanzhong surrendered to the imperial court, his soldiers were annexed by Wang Chongrong, leaving only 500 men. However, he was good at bribing eunuchs and flattering civil servants, so he was awarded the title of Xuanwu Jiedushi.
But in the beginning, it was only two states, and there were a large number of old Xuanwu Army generals in the town who didn't like him.
It’s not easy to start a business!
But I still have to thank this era. In the last years of other dynasties, it was difficult for people at the bottom like them to get ahead unless they joined the rebel army.
The era of domineering warriors was much more magical.
"Wang Chongying was also a fierce general in the past, but now he is only over 50 years old, and he is lying on the bed. What a pity." Shao Shude sighed: "Time waits for me. I am already thirty-six years old, how many more years can I fight for? This year, I will definitely
We need to capture Hezhong."
Separate vassal towns and domineering warriors can allow the grassroots to stand out, but on the other hand, there are people everywhere who dare to fight, making fighting extremely difficult.
At this time, Shao Shude was somewhat envious of the last years of the centralized dynasty.
The world is in chaos, and all the heroes are rising up. Most people don't actually have many professional troops on hand. They are farmers who were recruited temporarily. They go to the battlefield after rough training and don't have much experience in marching and fighting. The imperial army is corrupt and the city has not been repaired for many years.
, the passes are broken, and if you win one or two low-level battles, you can often sweep a province or even several provinces before others have time to react.
But what will happen? It will be difficult for you to conquer a state! There are military and political groups all over the place that are aligned with upper and lower interests. They have good armor, sufficient equipment, and are well-trained. They know how to fight, will not surrender easily, and will fight you to the end.
Is the military preparedness depleted? No. They can still defeat the barbarians on the grassland with a small number and a large number. This fighting power makes you despair.
"The river has begun to thaw in March, and the army has almost arrived. Regardless of whether Wang Chongying leaves or not, I will cross the river." Shao Shude took a sip of wine and said, "The opportunity is fleeting."
"Wang Chongying is coming soon. Don't be too anxious, Marshal." Zhang Yanqiu advised: "I am almost fifty years old. Before I linger on the sickbed, I must make some contributions for the Marshal."
"Now I'm worried about Li Keyong."
"Ke Yong is in Xinzhou. Kuangchou has already sent tens of thousands of troops to resist. It's not that fast."
"Did Li Kuangchou get kicked in the head by a donkey? Why did he have to fight with Li Keyong in the field?" Shao Shude was a little depressed.
Guarding the majestic city of Youzhou, what can Li Keyong do to you? You have to fight in vain.
But I guess he also has difficulties. A mutiny came to power. If he defends the city, he must guard it, lest there is another mutiny.
"Commander!" Zheng Yong, the tenth general of the army, suddenly broke in and reported: "There is news from Jiangzhou that Wang Chongying accidentally fell off the bed a few days ago. Now he is a little confused. Wang Yao urgently asks Tianxiong
The army marches north."
"No!" Shao Shude slapped the table and said: "The Tianxiong army is not moving in Yucheng! Tiaoyi joined the army to Pinglu. Where are the guards and soldiers?"
He was asking about the 2,000-strong guard army that came south from Shengzhou, led by Meng Zhixiang and Murong Fu from a thousand households.
"Arrived in Danzhou."
"Speed up and go south!" Shao Shude ordered: "Use the military envoy again, and if you are still slow to close the door, don't do this."
Zhang Yanqiu shook his head and laughed. You, Laoguan, are in bad luck.
"Tie Lin Army, I will personally mobilize. Zhenwu Army, Zhang Jun envoy"
"The end will be here!" Zhang Yanqiu stopped laughing and responded.
"Move to Hancheng County in advance. Commander Weibei has prepared the equipment to cross the river." Shao Shude said: "We will then transfer Wang Bian to the north, and the Zhenguo Army will send 5,000 people to guard Pujing Pass and defend Tongzhou.
