Because the entire naval army was killed, Li Chi was very angry, so he ordered all units to launch a strong counterattack against the King of Qi to avenge the death of the naval army. However, Xuzhou and Yangzhou were always at a disadvantage in the battle. I have to say that
In a word, Yangzhou is full of places for the imperial court, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. Whether it is manpower, military strength or financial resources, everything is stronger than the Xuzhou army. It can be said that if the guards of Langya Prefecture have not become traitors now, they would probably be Xuzhou.
It was already in danger. The situation of siege on all sides is not easy to break.
Fortunately, the Qingzhou Prefecture Army in the north and Tang Xian's Tang army had no intention of attacking him, which made him transfer the soldiers on the northern defense line south and move back and forth with the Yangzhou army at the junction of Xu Yang.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Chi hurriedly sent someone to negotiate with Tang Xian, unite with Tang Xian, and defeated the army in Yanzhou first. What Li Chi wanted was his own Western Front security. He agreed that after the war, he was willing to assist Tang.
Xian took control of Yanzhou and reached an offensive and defensive alliance. Tang Xian immediately agreed to Li Chi's alliance and joined forces to fight against the Yanzhou army.
"Master General, why do we agree to Li Chi's alliance? He is clearly just to borrow our hands to solve the Yanzhou army. How can we help our army take Yanzhou in the future? How can we do it?" The generals of the Tang army were a little puzzled.
Tang Xian said with a serious expression: "How can I not know what Li Chi meant? If we sit and watch the Xuzhou army be defeated, what can we get? Get Xuzhou? Yanzhou? Let's just let the imperial army let us get it.
So what? It's just the next Li Chi. In any case, the Xuzhou army must exist. Only in this way can we gain a foothold here, otherwise, it will be wiped out by the court sooner or later."
"Only the land of Yanzhou is worse than relying on oneself. Let the army of Langya Prefecture take active action and move westward immediately." Tang Xian ordered in a deep voice.
"It's just a pity that our army does not have a powerful naval army. Otherwise, the Yellow River in the north, the Wenshui, and the Yishui River in the Sishui River can defend against the northern Xiaoguo Army and the Qingzhou Prefecture Army in the north." Shen Yuanhe shook his head."
Sighing. How could he not know the subtlety of the situation they are in now. Although the Tang Xianjun and the Xuzhou army have no opposition, the opposition situation is essential. The Xuzhou army wants to expand outward, the east is the sea and the north is Qingzhou, which has already been
He was attracted by the Xiaoguo Army. Not to mention the south, it was the mortal enemy of the Yangzhou and Xuzhou Army. If there was no accident, the Xuzhou Army would not have thought of breaking through the south.
Only to the west, Yanzhou is in the north and Yuzhou is in the south. Among them, Yuzhou has long been included in Murong Cheng and has a strong force, and the newly formed two-guard guard army is also forming in Yuzhou. It is difficult to expand from Yuzhou! The rest are the same!
Only Yanzhou in the northwest was touched by Tang Xian.
The Xuzhou army wants to expand outside and the Tang army wants to survive. The land of Yanzhou is the contradiction between the two. To be honest, Tang Xian really hoped that the Xuzhou army would be wiped out, but he just thought about it. The Xuzhou army is definitely better than the Tang army.
It’s nothing more to be strong. The Tang army is now a loser, and even the place to settle down was just snatched.
Think about it, even the Xuzhou army was wiped out by the army, so what would happen to him, the Tang army, which was not as good as the Xuzhou army? The relationship between him, Tang Xian, Shen Yuan and Murong Cheng, is that Murong Cheng hates them even more.
.If the Xuzhou army is gone, his Tang army will be worse than the Xuzhou army and will be defeated faster. Therefore, Tang Xian must let the Xuzhou army exist and let it bear the pressure from Murong Cheng and the court. All he needs to do is hide in Xuzhou
The army quietly grew and grew stronger, until it could fight against the Xuzhou army and even the imperial army.
Therefore, it is imperative to join forces with the Xuzhou army to resist the imperial army. If the Xuzhou army is defeated, they will be in danger. As for what Li Chi said, to cooperate with the Tang army to capture Yanzhou, Tang Xian could only regard it as a joke. He asked the Xuzhou army to ask the Xuzhou army to
If you cooperate, you can only cooperate with each other and go into the other person's stomach.

Zhao Xun is now busy inspecting the craftsman's camp, but the result is not very satisfying. After inquiring and observing, Zhao Xun had to sigh regretfully that the production of gun barrels was not as simple as imagined.
The barrel and gun barrel made are not very suitable at all. The barrel inside is rough and uneven. Even if you add marbles and gunpowder, you dare not fire easily. If you are not good, the marbles are stuck and cannot be released, it will cause an explosion.
.Either the thickness is not enough to withstand the power of high temperatures or explosions. As for the barrel, it will become, and the range will not be as effective as that of the archer.
In short, in the short term, you can never find such a thing. If you want to achieve a truly effective and lethal weapon, you can only slowly improve it.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Xun could only sigh slightly, but it did not mean that he would stop. After encouraging these craftsmen who were specializing in doing some research, they continued to ask them to study it. Especially for artillery, Zhao Xun remembered artillery
It seems that the early ones were made of copper, not iron. But he had no idea about this, so he could only let the other party try it slowly.
The benefits of artillery are naturally self-evident. Whether it is the army or the navy, the combat mode will be greatly changed. Especially for the navy, if the artillery is equipped, even if it is simply pushed out the iron ball, it will definitely be better than the battle of the boarding.
.The enemy ship can sink into the water with just a few.
Since guns and cannons cannot be made, we can only continue to make black gunpowder. Because there are special personnel responsible for research, production, management and use, the purity of black gunpowder is getting higher and higher, and the power of explosion is also increased accordingly, but the cost is
Gradually, the forces around him knew that the thunder that Zhao Xun used seemed to be refining the alchemy alchemy, but they did not know its formula and function. So the Xiaoguo Army was still buying a large number of merchants.
Of course, there are many things that Xiaoguo Army needs. For a while, people don’t know what the recipe for the Thunder is added.
Because of the acceptance of the Xiaoguo Army, the people also entered the Xiaoguo Army's territory. For these refugees, Zhao Xun placed them in the five prefectures of Beiding. Slowly, as time went by, Beiding Wu
The mansion also began to flourish. Originally, this was a reward place for some officials of the Xiaoguo Army. They had placed a lot of people here, and more and more Han people. The scene of Han people gradually became the place where they were dominated.
Zhao Xun came here to inspect and saw more and more Han people living with Khitans, and couldn't help but sigh. As long as life is stable, no matter what tribe he is, he will eventually be stable. Influenced by the Han people, many Khitans began to
Learn Chinese dialect and give Han names. In addition to the policies of the Xiaoguo Army, the younger generation of the Khitans began to be like the Han Academy, which was Chinese characters, and they said Chinese, and gradually transformed them.
The four Khitans in the Five Prefectures of Beiding also began to join the Han people in the Five Prefectures of Beiding. There is no way, the treatment of Han people and non-Han people is different. It is not that they despise them, but that many times, many things, especially
When things are good, Han people are given priority. For example, caravans recruit guards, servants, and idle people, and they all accept Han people according to the secret intention of Xiaoguo Army. Whether you are a Han, Khitan, or a Marine,
Only look at the household registration copy, Han people are given priority. Even if you buy and sell, Han people are also given the advantage.
In this way, how could the Khitans of the four Khitan tribes sit still? Gradually, they all went to the governments of the five prefectures in Beiding or the surrounding small towns to apply for Han household registration. The heads of the four tribes also knew the plans of the Xiaoguo Army, and since they were unable to resist,
Then don't do anything wrong. Let's just let these people's actions go.
It seems that it is the same as joining or not joining, but it is not the case. The Han Khitans must obey the orders of the government when the government needs it, which is equivalent to the Han people. For example, if they are summoned as soldiers, they need to pay taxes to the five governments in the north.
Instead of giving it to its own tribe clan leader officials, the taxes of the Xiaoguo Army are definitely much lighter than those they handed over to the tribe. In each tribe, these tribes are almost equivalent to private slaves of the tribe clan leader, and their family property is almost equivalent to those of the tribe clan leader.
The property of the tribe patriarch can be deprived at any time, but now, they are ordinary people, and their property is privately owned. They only need to pay a certain tax to the government, so they do not need to worry that their livestock will be taken away by the tribe leader for no reason.
The clan leaders of the four tribes were allowed to do so. Even the clan soldiers of the tribe were almost screened. The outstanding people were recommended by them to go to the Eight Banners of the Khitans. The rest were resolved and the tribe disputes were maintained.
Not only that, the heads of the four tribes and even the officials of the big and small tribes of their tribes all became their own caravans and went to make money. Seeing this, Zhao Xun was naturally full of joy. The four of them were willing to cooperate, and it would be better to do so at that time, it would be better than to be wrong with them.
Want to fight.
The Beihai tribes have been surrendering to the power of the Beihai Protectorate. The soldiers of each tribe were demolished at the order of Li Muzhi, and there were only a few left. The tribes needed to provide logistics for the Eight Banners of the Beihai Protectorate.
Supply. Now the Beihai Protectorate, even the Liaodong Kingdom in the eastern part of the Beihai do not dare to provoke it easily.
Speaking of Liaodong Kingdom, Zhao Xun also gave the title of King of Liaodong Kingdom in his own name. Because the Liaodong Kingdom's army made contributions to the conquest of the army, he was appointed as the lord of Liaodong Kingdom. As long as the Liaodong Kingdom was a subordinate of the Xiaoguo Army, then the Liaodong Kingdom's lord would
With He Lou Yanwen as the leader, all the others refused to admit it. As for whether his son succeeded, he had to wait for the title of Xiaoguo Army. The position of lord of Liaodong State can only be effective after the title of Xiaoguo Army.
The king of Liaodong Kingdom, He Lou Yanwen, received the order in public and voluntarily became a subordinate of the Xiaoguo Army, paying tribute every year.
This made several other people from Liaodong who were qualified to take over as the king of Liaodong. When the founding of the country was initially established, there was an agreement that the four ministries took turns to serve as the king of the country. But now, after the Xiaoguo Army,
As a result, the position of the king of the country became the Helou family. They were unwilling to give up, but so what if they were unwilling to give up? After a little dissatisfaction, the Xiaoguo army of the East Three Prefectures began to stir up. If you are not convinced, I
The trend of fighting. The people from the other three ministries could only secretly swallow the bitter fruit. Now they understood why when Zhao Xun summoned various ministries to send troops, He Lou Yanwen sent troops to fight without hesitation, and most of them were themselves
The elite of the tribe turned out to be holding Zhao Xun's thigh.
