In the past, when I was full of energy, Tigo fought for the first time.
The heart is as high as the bright sun, and the aspirations are as clear as the autumn frost.
Shifeng was shocked, and moved to the Changhe Battle.
The camp is shattered, the stars are sinking, and the clouds are rolling and splitting.
——Excerpt from "Breaking Xue Ju's Battlefield" by Li Shimin
…
Early the next morning, Li Guangbi presided over a military meeting.
This meeting was extremely confidential. Li Guangbi's generals Murong Yi and Zhang Fengzhang only invited a very small number of senior generals from the Beiting camp in Anxi to attend.
In order to completely put down Shi Siming's rebellion, Li Guangbi reported to His Majesty, requesting to restart the policy of Prime Minister Li Mi and Pengyuan in white:
The deputy marshal of the world's military forces, Li Guangbi, the military governor of Shuofang, was stationed in Heyang, and Wang Sili, the military commander of Hedong Province, was in Taiyuan Prefecture, and Lai Qi, the military commander of Hexi Province, was in Xiangyang, and the north, south, and middle roads echoed each other.
Wei Boyu, the military envoy of the four towns in the west of Zhenxi, Li Zhongchen, the military envoy of the Shaanxi Army and the Shence Army, stationed in Shaanzhou, Li Feiyuanli, the governor of Huaizhou and the military envoy of the Beiting Camp, stationed in Huaizhou, and the three tiger generals took turns to attack
, forming a long and narrow war zone in Henan Road.
When the Yan army saved the head, the Tang army attacked the tail. When the Yan army saved the tail, the Tang army attacked the head, causing the Yan army to run exhausted for thousands of miles.
The Tang army was at ease waiting for work. When the enemy arrived, it avoided its front. When the enemy retreated, it took advantage of its disadvantages. It did not attack the Yan army's cities or cut off their roads.
In the spring of next year, he ordered Bai Fu to serve as Fanyang Jiedushi. He attacked from the north of Saibei, along the northwest frontier, to the northeast, starting from Guichuan County (now Huailai County, Hebei Province), Miyun County (now Miyun District, BJ), and heading south to Fanyang County.
(today's BJ City), and Li Guangbi's Shuofang Army formed a pincer attack from the north and south, and went straight to Fan Yang to overthrow his lair.
The Yan army had no way to retreat, no home to return to, and it was impossible to stay where they were. At that time, Wang Sili, the governor of Hedong, and Lai Ai, the governor of Hexi, would lead King Qin's army to encircle him from all sides. Shi Siming would definitely be captured without a fight!
At this point, the rebels can be completely eradicated!
After hearing this, all the generals were very happy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make achievements.
Bai Fu pondered for a moment and said: "If the commander-in-chief transfers the Lone Eagle Squadron from the Shuofang Army's Scout Battalion to me, this battle can be further planned."
Li Guangbi smiled and said: "I knew you were thinking about the Lone Eagle Scouts. I brought them all here, and they are in the Guards. Tell me about your plan."
Bai Fu was overjoyed and thanked Li Guangbi with cupped fists.
Bai Fu pointed at the map and said: "In this battle, I can lead 5,000 Anxi Ting's elite cavalry, leave the fortress from Yanmen Pass, detour to the north of Fanyang, and go south to attack Youzhou.
The Lone Eagle Scout can serve as a guide and lead 10,000 infantry "King Kong" soldiers across the Savage Valley and stationed at Eagle Fort. Once our army goes south to attack Youzhou, Shi Siming will definitely order the rebel general Linghu Zhang to lead his army from Liyang (
Jun County, HEN Province) returned to the army for rescue.
At that time, the infantry "King Kong" can encircle the point for reinforcements, rush out from Eagle Fort, and together with the Hebei Rebel Army led by Husi Village, cut off Linghu Zhang's army in the middle.
After wiping out Linghu Zhang's army, the infantry "King Kong" can quickly move north to encircle Youzhou with our army."
Li Guangbi smiled and said: "So, you have 5,000 troops left in the camp in Beiting. How do you plan to arrange it?"
Bai Fu said: "The remaining five thousand troops are infantry who are proficient in the Wuhou Bagua Formation. When the large formation is launched, it can kill ten times the enemy, which is the nemesis of Shi Siming and Fan Yang's cavalry.
If the commander-in-chief doesn't mind, I plan to reciprocate the favor and let these people follow the commander-in-chief and guard Heyang."
Li Guangbi laughed loudly and said: "What a 'reciprocate'! How can I refuse such an elite unit!
After you return triumphantly from Fan Yang, I will return this iron army to you."
According to this strategy, the generals made careful plans in the big tent. Three days later, the deployment was completed. Li Guangbi led his army back to Heyang.
Before leaving, Li Guangbi took off his sword, handed it to Bai Fu, and said earnestly: "This sword is the sword of King Gou Jian of Yue.
This sword has been with me for many years, not because it is extremely sharp, but because the inscriptions on the sword remind me to remember it all the time.
Today, I give it to you and wish you a successful Northern Expedition and live up to the glory of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
Under the sun, Bai Fu discovered that Li Guangbi's temples were graying, and his weather-beaten face had a few more wrinkles.
At the end of the farewell ceremony, Li Guangbi laughed loudly, whipped his horse and whipped his horse, and left.
Bai Fu drew out his sword. The blade was clear and cold, and the blade was simple and colorful. There were two lines of ancient seals engraved on it: "If you use its light lightly, you will be injured if you move it. It is a dangerous weapon; if it is hidden deeply, it is clumsy. It is a sharp weapon when you make a decision."
.”
Bai Fu was moved in his heart and looked at Li Guangbi's retreating figure, full of ambition and ambition.
…
After Li Guangbi left, Bai Fuli prepared his troops and prepared for the spring military operation.
Li Guangbi left a batch of military reports for Bai Fu to read. Several of them attracted Bai Fu's attention:
First, on August 12, Xiangzhou generals Kang Chuyuan and Zhang Jiayan gathered troops and occupied the city. Governor Wang Zheng fled to Jingzhou (Jiangling County, HUB Province). Kang Chuyuan claimed to be the overlord of Southern Chu.
On August 25, Li Heng sent the eunuch general Cao Risheng to Xiangzhou to persuade and comfort Kang Chuyuan. He demoted the governor Wang Zheng to serve as the political secretary (changshi) of Raozhou (Poyang County, JX Province). He ordered the deputy minister of agriculture and forestry (Si Nong Shaoqing)
) Zhang Guangqi became the governor of Xiangzhou (XY City, HUB Province). Kang Chuyuan did not accept it. (The central government demoted Wang Zheng, which shows that this is another official-forced people's rebellion with nowhere to complain. The official history often does not narrate it, so the truth is often forgotten.
submerged.)
The leader of the rebellion in Xiangzhou, Kang Chuyuan, who claimed to be the overlord of Southern Chu, and others, had more than 10,000 tribesmen.
) and other regional material regulation directors (Jing Xiang and other Taoist envoys) Wei Lun sent out troops to attack, camped in Dengzhou, called on them to surrender, and comforted them generously; when they slackened their vigilance a little, they launched an attack and captured Kang Chuyuan alive, and all the tribesmen were routed;
Two million strings of robbed land taxes and taxes were recovered. Social order in Jingzhou and Xiangzhou was restored. Weilun was Wei Jiansu's cousin (Wei Jiansu, refer to August 754)
On December 13, Wei Lun escorted Kang Chuyuan to the capital and beheaded him.
Secondly, Prime Minister Wu Qi minted "Qianyuan money", "double wheel money", and "Kaiyuan money" and used them at the same time. Folks rushed to steal them, causing inflation, soaring prices, high food prices, and refugees.
People starved to death in large numbers.
Many courtiers petitioned the emperor to investigate Wu Qi's crimes.
On November 7, His Majesty demoted Wu Qi to the position of governor of Zhongzhou. Wu Qi was originally a subordinate of Helan Jinming. He Lan Jinming, the censor doctor, was accused of forming a party with Wu Qi and was demoted to Qinzhou Yuanwai Sima.
When Wu Qi cast "Qian Yuan Qian" and "Double Wheel Bian Qian", Bai Fu anticipated today's situation. Thinking that he was idle in the Ministry of Household Affairs, his position was humble and he was powerless to stop it, Bai Fu sighed sadly.
Helan Jinming and Bai Fu had a bloody feud.
When Suiyang was besieged, Bai Fu followed Nan Jiyun to break through to Linhuai and asked for help from Helan Jinming, but Helan Jinming sat idly by and did nothing to save him.
When leaving Linhuai, Nan Jiyun drew an arrow and missed it. He shot it at the high tower of the Buddhist temple near the city gate, vowing to destroy Helan Jinming.
Now, Brother Nan Jiyun and Prefect Zhang Xun have passed away, and the great revenge has not been avenged. But Bai Fu has always kept this matter in his heart.
Bai Fu secretly prayed: "Helan Jinming, you must not die too early. When I wipe out the rebels, I will personally take out your heart and liver to avenge my brothers and comfort their souls in heaven!"
