Chapter 187: Xingyuan makes up the knife
When the above table from Jianghuai was delivered to Chang'an, green seedlings broke through the fields in Guanzhong.
"Yang Xingmi actually took the initiative to attack Zhu Wen?" Li Ye was immediately excited, thinking that his time travel had changed.
But the historical process still has its huge inertia.
It was the Qingkou War that determined the pattern of the ten countries.
Just like the Battle of Red Cliff, the Qingkou Battle once again divided the world into two parts.
"Zhu Wen's heavy troops attacked Hedong, Xu Si was empty, how could Yang Xingmi remain indifferent?" Li Juchuan said excitedly.
"Press Yang Xingmi's top surface on the palace gate, and call on the world to fight against the rebel Zhu Wen, and the Tang and Liang thieves have no power!" Since someone has stood up, Li Ye can no longer be reserved, at least he must shout out the slogan.
Whether it is effective or not is another matter, Tang Ting’s position must be clearly stated.
Li Ye sighed in his heart, there is only so much that can be done for Li Keyong.
Although the Jin army showed signs of decline, it did not show signs of great defeat.
In history, Li Keyong only had a strong city in Taiyuan left.
It’s unreasonable that Zhu Wen would be destroyed so easily.
Moreover, Yang Xingmi's Qingkou Battle is coming soon. In history, Zhu Wen personally took charge of this battle, but the Liang army was still defeated.
A decisive battle will definitely not be decided in a short time. Guanzhong is now ushering in the greatest development opportunity.
However, the bottleneck that restricts Guanzhong's development is still a population problem.
With the stability of Guanzhong, a large number of people hiding in the mountains and forests returned to their hometowns. Preliminary statistical results have been released. Huazhou and Tongzhou recovered earlier and their population has rebounded the fastest, and now it has reached 50,000 households.
Fengxiang quickly defeated Li Maozhen and did not cause large-scale casualties.
After Zhang Chengye took charge of Fengxiang, a series of measures to safeguard the people around him also increased a lot.
In addition, the population under the rule of Bining, Fufang, Xiasui and Li Ye actually exceeded 2.3 million.
Although it is much worse than the Jianghuai and Central Plains, Li Ye has already felt very pleased, but these populations are still not enough to support the revival of the Tang Dynasty.
If you don’t have money, you have to find a way to make money, and if you don’t have anyone, you have to find a way to make people.
Looking at the southeast, west and north, there is no hope in the north. It is not a good thing for a large number of grassland people to come in. The sea is to embrace all rivers, and to take the Tang people as the sea and other races as the rivers. If it is the other way around, the problem will be big.
The west is temporarily out of reach, mainly because the foundation of the Tang court is too thin and cannot advance west on a large scale in a short period of time.
There is no need to think about the east side. Xu Huaiyu is blocked by Puyang, Wang Chongshi, and Liu Zhijun are blocked by Tongguan, and the river has been almost damaged by Zhu Wen.
Only south.
Gu Yanhui was dying in Zizhou, and it was only a matter of time before Wang Jian unified Sichuan and Sichuan.
Of course, Li Ye was not able to fight Wang Jian, and a Jianmen Pass blocked all his fantasies.
Today's Tang court is like the green seedlings in the fields, unable to withstand the fierce battle.
However, not only Shuzhong is located in the south, but also Li Jiji from Xingyuan!
After Li Maozhen's defeat, Li Jiji also changed his name back to Sang Hongzhi.
Hanzhong is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the north, Pingba Mountains in the south, and the central part is a plain. Wars are flying in Guanzhong, and Hanzhong is like a paradise. A large number of Guanzhong people moved to Hanzhong to avoid chaos.
Li Jiji raised an army of 40,000 with just one city in Xingyuan.
Only by taking Xingyuan and the last geographical shortcomings in Guanzhong will be filled, Fengxiang and Guanzhong will become the real rear.
Xingyuan is not only the gateway to Shuzhong, but also the gateway to Guanzhong southern.
If Wang Jian annexes Gu Yanhui, he might fall into a tug-of-war again.
Li Jiji is also a master who never shed tears without seeing the coffin. She was sandwiched between Guanzhong and Shuzhong and wanted to close her door and live.
If Li Sigong had not died in time, Xingyuan's priority would have been above Xia Sui.
Now the whole Guanzhong is almost the same, and there is no reason why Li Jiji is happy in Xingyuan.
"I remember that Li Jiji and the families of General Xingyuan were all in Chang'an?" Li Ye asked.
Li Maozhen asked Li Jiji to guard Xingyuan, and the families of the generals in the army were all controlled by Fengxiang, which made Li Ye cheaper.
Liu Quanli said: "They are all placed in Yanfufang, and the supply is in full swing, and they are under the supervision of the Imperial City Office."
"I have raised troops for a thousand days and used troops for a while. I have raised them for so long, so it's their turn to show off."
When Han Wei heard that Li Ye was about to raise an army again, his face turned into a miserable melon, "Your Majesty, our army has been fighting for years, and the Tang Dynasty needs to rest and recuperate, and the soldiers may also be tired."
Traditional literati are good at everything, but this kind of compassionate heart is not good.
In all the wars, Li Ye was cautious. Except for one battle at Pujin Pass, the rest were quick to fight and no delay. "Don't worry about the light. This battle of Xingyuan may be taken down without blood."
How could Li Ye, who tasted the benefits of war, hide in Guanzhong to farm with peace of mind?
There is no doubt that Xingyuan is just a piece of fat!
If Li Jiji surrenders to Wang Jian according to historical inertia, Li Ye will regret it.
"Han Envoy, the essence of Guanzhong is in Xingyuan. If you do not take it at this time, it will be gained by outsiders. It will definitely cause a problem in Guan's heart!" Li Juchuan also came to persuade him.
Han Wei is not unreasonable, but he is born to not like fighting.
Li Ye now regrets putting him in the position of Privy Councilor.
However, everything is temporary. Han Wei is just a transition. His main function is to build up the Privy Council's shelf, and he will still be a general with both civil and military power in the future.
Li Ye is not so stupid that he uses culture to transform martial arts in this troubled killing world.
"I wish Your Majesty a success." Li Ye and Li Juchuan were both wearing pairs of pants, and Han Wei couldn't be stubborn anymore.
To be precise, Xingyuan is surrounded by Li Ye on three sides
Yang Jian’s tribe in Xingzhou, Zhou’s tribe in Yangzhou, and Feng Xing’s tribe in Jinzhou.
With such a bad geographical situation, Li Jiji can still hold on. I have to say that he is really big.
Li Ye was not polite to him, and mobilized an army of 50,000, and led the families of Xingyuan defenders. He took Gao Xingzhou's 10,000 troops as the vanguard, and walked straight to Xingyuan. He ordered Feng Xing to attack and Yang Jian as the left and right flanks.
Before the army arrived, Li Jiji's surrender letter arrived, claiming that he was willing to guard the gateway for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye was too lazy to pay attention to him. When the army was approaching Xingyuan City, Li Jiji's letter of surrender came again, claiming that he would imitate Yang Chongben and move to Zhenningzhou.
Li Ye sneered in his heart. The gap between Li Jiji and Yang Chongben can be seen based on these two surrendered letters alone.
Yang Chong set up a trap to let Xin Silang get into it, and then he figured out Li Ye's thoughts that he was unwilling to fight a tough battle, and then proposed to move to Qinzhou at the most appropriate time.
Why is Li Jiji?
Li Ye not only wants Xingyuan's territory, the people, but also the 40,000 Fengxiang Army in his hands!
It's time to understand the situation.
The families of general Fengxiang were lined up under the North City.
These people were raised in Chang'an, but now they were not panicked at all in front of the two armies, and they were also shouting at the city walls talking and laughing.
"Son, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, what are you doing?"
"Dad, my child is now in the Wuying camp, and he has food and drink, and he also teaches literature and literacy."
...
This is not a war, but a marriage recognition conference.
Li Ye pushed Li Jiji's parents, wife and children into the front line.
"Li Jiji, will you surrender?" Xin Silang shouted in a loud voice.
But there was still no movement in the city.
Li Ye really admired Li Jiji. At this time, he was a turtle with his head hunched. The 50,000 Tang army, the 20,000 Zhaoxin army attacked by Feng Xing, and the 5,000 Yang Jian's imperial guards.
If we mobilize the young and strong men, it would be easy to gather a large army of 100,000.
I don’t know what Li Jiji was hesitating about.
"Siege the city!" If you delay one more day, you will have to spend more day of food and grass.
The family members were pushed to the front, and when they saw that they were really moving, these people started crying and howling.
Chapter completed!
