Chapter 249 Wang Jian of Shu

After the spring plowing begins.

From Shaanxi and Guo, Xingtang Prefecture to Guanzhong Plain, Shuofang, Xingyuan, it is extremely busy.

But there were wars in Shu.

On March 20, the third year of Ganning, King Longshun of Nanzhao had a large army of 80,000, and joined forces with Li and 50,000 Ya barbarians to break through Meizhou and slaughter the Tang people.

On March 25, Qin Yanhui came out in full swing and attacked Hanzhou. Hanzhou was named Guan Mianzhu during the Three Kingdoms period. After Hanzhou, it was Chengdu.

On April 1, Chengxian ordered the general Xu Cun and Zhao Wu to leave Yuzhou and attack the Dongchuan prefectures, and Wang Jian's troops fled one after another.

After receiving the news of the chaos in Shu, Yang Shihou, Gao Xingzhou and Yang Jian combined 30,000 troops to station in Lizhou, and watched the changes in Shu.

On April 3, the Nanzhao army had just crossed the Dadu River and had not yet established a stable foothold, but was attacked by Wang Jian personally led an army of 50,000 head-on. Long Shun was afraid of his momentum and ordered the barbarians such as Liu, Hao, and Yang to be the vanguards.

Wang Jian was born as a cavalry general and led the way, charging forward, defeating the barbarians in one fell swoop, killing the three kings, and killing 18,000 barbarians. The barbarians were very scared and scattered.

The Shu army took advantage of the situation and the Nanzhao army, who was watching the wall, caught off guard, was scared and defeated. Wang Jian chased and killed 300 miles along the road, captured 9,000 prisoners, and all of them were killed on the banks of Yashui. The Yashui turned into a blood river. The young and strong man in the Nanzhao Kingdom suffered heavy casualties. Long Shun, who fled back to Nanzhao, was also resentful to the people of the country. A year later, he was killed by the powerful minister Yang Deng.

After this battle, Wang Jian made 5,000 elite cavalry first, gathered his adopted son Wang Zongdi's army of 20,000, bypassed Dujiangyan, passed Maoxian, Jiangyou, and 800 miles of detour. On April 10, he fought in one battle and went to Zizhou. On April 15, he attacked each other in front and behind and broke Qin Yanhui in front of Mianzhu Pass.

Qin Yanhui burned himself in the central army's tent and died.

On April 15, Wang Jian and his adopted sons Wang Zongdi, Wang Zongkan, Wang Zongji and Wang Zongwan returned to Dongchuan and defeated Zhao Wu first in Hezhou.

However, he was stalemate with Xu Cun Yuzhou and was attacked by Xu Cun several times, with a small victory.

But Qin Yanhui's pacification allowed Wang Jian to withdraw more troops, and the Shu army came with continuous support.

Xu Cun could not defeat the enemy, and he besieged for more than a month and sought help from Chengxian, Jingnan.

Cheng Shi has always been afraid of Xu Cun's courage, and has the desire to get rid of it and then be quick, so he ignores the request for help.

On May 17, Xu Cun finished his food and surrendered to Wang Jian. Wang Jianshou was appointed as his adopted son and named Wang Zongbo. Since then, both the East and West Sichuans fell into the hands of Wang Jian.

In just two months, the war in Shu was extinguished.

When the news reached Chang'an, Li Ye sighed in his heart. Wang Jian was the one in the history books after all.

These battles were extremely beautiful, and they were both half-crossed and large-scale interludes, which was like textbooks.

No wonder he was able to sweep Xichuan with two thousand men.

There was no chance in Shu, so Li Ye could only focus on Helong.

Yang Chongben captured the four prefectures of Longxi, and with the Qinzhou in his hands, there were a total of five prefectures, and he was a considerable force wherever he placed it.

Li Ye dared not let him continue to develop.

The four prefectures in Longxi are extremely special in geographic areas, surrounded by the Yellow River, and the Longshan Mountains and Qishan Mountains are their natural barriers.

The southwest are the chaotic Sixteen Hequ Prefectures, the west is the Hehuang area, the north is the important places such as Lan and Liang in Hexi, the south is the Shannan West Road prefectures that Li Ye had just recovered, and the east is Fengxiang.

Yang Chongben is now like a carp and dragon gate, and there is a smooth road in front of him.

If he was allowed to sit firmly in the four prefectures of Helong, according to his ambitions, it would be a great disaster in the future.

However, everything should be paid attention to first and then military force.

At the suggestion of Li Juchuan, Li Ye issued three edicts in a row to ask Yang Chongben to go to Chang'an to report his duties, and at the same time transferred Yang Shihou and Gao Xingzhou from Lizhou to Longzhou.

Three imperial edicts were issued, and Yang Chongben was determined not to come.

Li Ye's patience reached its limit. In his heart, Yang Chongben's current priority was higher than that of the Zhebo Du in Liangzhou.

"Your Majesty can continue to issue an edict to make him careless and wait until the autumn harvest is over, and the army will emerge and capture it in one battle!" Li Juchuan suggested.

Li Ye nodded in agreement.

Spring plowing just ended. In ancient times, there were no pesticides or fertilizers in farming. After sowing, careful care was required.

The prefectural system has just been implemented. Any governors of various states with low evaluations are resolutely eliminated. Some people always make a bet on the power in front of them. After Feng Xing attacked and transferred from the Jin Shang Dynasty, the governors of the two states let themselves go and recruit soldiers. Li Ye's decree order asked them to take action in advance. Li Fengyi, the governor of Jinzhou, also surrendered to Jingxiang, Zhao Kuangning, in an attempt to find a backer.

Zhao Kuangning sent troops, but he did come to help the Tang army conquer the city.

The mobs in the two states were pacified in less than ten days.

Li Ye was not kind this time. Zhao Wenda, the governor of Jinzhou, and Li Fengyi, the governor of Shangzhou, were beheaded in the downtown area of ​​Chang'an. The male was exiled to Fengzhou and the woman was converted into a musical citizen.

I don’t know if I don’t want to go shopping, but after I go shopping, I realized that the biggest boss behind Pingkangfang is actually me.

To be precise, after Liu Quanli took over the imperial village, he secretly controlled most of the brothels in Nanqu and Zhongqu using various means.

This is also good, and standardized management in the future can make these miserable women live a better life.

With the bloody demonstration of the heads, no one dared to disobey the will of the court again.

The two states of Jinshang were originally Feng Xingxi's subordinates, and he was very bold.

Li Fengyi was also Feng Xing's brother-in-law, and he was powerful and powerful in Jinzhou.

The Tang army was scattered all over the place and suppressed all kinds of surging undercurrents.

Of course, other states in Guanzhong cannot learn even if they want to learn it. Li Ye has long taken time to military power. Can the so-called local tyrants compete with the current Tang army?

Three months later, the first batch of magistrates were scattered all over the country, and Li Ye also assigned them veterans and slightly disabled soldiers.

This is the first time in twenty years that literati are in charge of local political affairs since the Huangchao chaos.

"Your Majesty, this is a newly developed crossbow machine made of boxwood and pear wood." Yuchi Kang presented treasure to Li Ye.

What Li Ye is most concerned about is the supervisor. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

After seeing the weapons in the hall, Li Ye has always been upset. If Liang Jun equipped these things, how could he fight this battle?

Li Ye checked the crossbow machine back and forth, and then looked at Yuchi Kang's old age, "Yuchi Jiangshi, this is too rough, right? Don't hurt your own people without hurting the enemy."

Yuchi Kang's face turned red, "Your Majesty doesn't know that it's a bit rough, but it's easy to make and choose materials. You can produce 500 racks a month."

If the quality is not good, can you make up for the output?

"Come on, try the crossbow." Li Ye ordered.

The three personal guards each took a crossbow, namely the Tongzidu crossbow, the Yansang crossbow, and the Boxwood crossbow.

Fifty steps, three crossbows were launched at once, and the armor on the target was penetrated one after another.

The crossbow of the Hall is that it has a fast firing speed and high stability. It can fire ten arrows in a row. It has excellent armor-breaking ability, but it can only fire three shots in a row, so it needs to be refilled.

The boxwood crossbow fired five arrows in a row, but its armor-breaking ability was the worst.

"Your Majesty, after this crossbow is forty, you will go back to the yard to repair it again." Yuchi Kang hesitated.

Li Ye almost fainted. Another half year later, he was about to work as a prisoner to create this thing? Can't even plagiarize it?

Under Li Ye's glaring, Yuchi Kang's tongue was no longer flexible. "Your Majesty, the army is fighting, the military weapons are consumed too quickly. It is easy to make this thing, and it is not a pity if it is damaged."

Li Ye read his words again before he understood the meaning.

Wars were frequent at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how good the magical weapon was, it would be lost. Didn’t the equipment in the hall be brought to your own hands?

On the contrary, this kind of weapon that is not well-made can be discarded as you use, just like consumables from later generations, disposable chopsticks, etc.

"Okay!" As long as it conforms to the characteristics of this era, Li Ye can accept it.

Besides, it is impossible for the entire army to have crossbows, and the Zhu Wen family can't afford to have great business.

The consumption of light crossbow arrows is not a small number.

Burning money in war has been like this from ancient times to the present.

Seeing that Li Ye's expression was calm, Yuchi Kang also offered something, covering it with a black cloth, shaped like a spear.

Xue Guangheng pulled off the black cloth, with a long blade and a long handle, and a cold light shining. It turned out to be a strange knife!

"Okay, you can imitate this thing, and finally you have not let me down!" Li Ye was overjoyed.

On the battlefield, Li Ye had seen the power of this thing. Although it was not as exaggerated as the historical books said that both men and horses were broken, it was not small. It was the most advantageous weapon of heavy armored infantry.

After the Middle Tang Dynasty, this thing became less and less. Now it was copied and can be created in the future.

"How many pieces can be built in a month?" Li Ye looked at Yuchi Kang with hope.

Yuchi Kang stretched out his two fingers with a puzzled look on his face.

"Twenty hands are fine." Li Ye also knew that it was not easy to build this thing.

"Back, your majesty, yes, two."

Li Ye almost squirted his face with an old blood.

Is this to make fun of myself?

How did Li Ye look at Yuchi Kang's old face? Why did he think he did it on purpose?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Li Ye sighed, "You should speed up the construction."
