Chapter 51 Ready to start

Li Keyong personally led his troops out of Weizhou to attack Xinzhou.

The four towns in Chengde Town, Hedong, Yiwu, Youzhou and Chengde fought in a melee.

Zhu Quanzhong sent his son Zhu Youyu to lead 50,000 troops to Xuzhou, and joined Ding Hui to attack Shi Pu.

The general under Yang Xingmi's tent was in Lu, and the fierce battle between Shu and the two states were in full swing.

After Sun Ru was destroyed, conflicts between Qian and Yang broke out, and Qian Liu was eager to regain the western Zhejiang territory occupied by Yang Xingmi and attack Changzhou.:.

The remnants of Sun Ru's tribe were led by Wang Tan, Liu Jianfeng, Ma Yin and others, and rushed into Jiangxi. The prefectures and counties fell one after another, and no one could stop them.

Ximen Wentong led his troops to attack Chengdu, and Chen Jingxuan was ashamed of danger.

Li Kan sent troops to attack Leiman, Langzhou.

Outside Fuzhou City, Wang Shenchao and Fan Hui continued to fight fiercely.

At the city of Xiangyang, the Zhongyi army vowed to set out, followed the Han River and rushed straight to Fuzhou.

On the western foot of the Helan Mountain, Yinqiu advances westward, intending to cooperate with the tribes of Gansu, Liang and Suzhou to encircle and suppress Dangxiang in Hexi.

Good guy, the war has never stopped in the entire Tang Dynasty.

The war season in the fourth year of Dashun (893) opened in this way!

On this day, the saints were still offering sacrifices.

At the end of the social festival, Taichang musician played "Kai'an" and used six changes in images: "One change the likeness of Longshen Ruins, two change the likeness to conquer Guanzhong, three change the likeness of Dongxiabin, four change the likeness of Jianghuai Ping..."

The saint burst into tears.

The Li family’s ancestors settled Guanzhong, defeated Dou Xia, and settled Jianghuai. The past scenes were like yesterday.

What does it look like now? The vassal states are domineering, wars are everywhere, the world is falling apart, and the emperor is trapped in the capital.

After returning to the palace, the saint was in a state of energy for many days. He even lacked interest in building several new palaces, especially after knowing that some of the wood was built by Li Yanling, the governor of Zhaoxin Army, Zhe Silun, the governor of Fengxiang, and Li Bai, the governor of Bining, were in a bad mood.

At such a close place to Chang'an, Shao Shude not only arranged a military governor, Qing and Ning prefectures, but also re-arranged the governors. The former was Zhao Cen, Suizhou, and the latter was Sun Dian, Fangzhou.

The Guanzhong area was almost all his followers. But his reputation among scholars soared. Some people wrote poems and praised them. Some people said that Dong Chang could even be named King Yue, so they asked Shao Shude to be named King Xia.

It makes people angry!

On February 30th, the saint went to court with a listless manner.

The tools and officials went to court together and retired. Cui Zhaowei, Wei Zhaodu and Liu Chongwang stayed. 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, represented Shi Shanyou as the governor of the Datong Army. What do the three division commanders think?" The saint found some interesting fun and asked.

"Your Majesty, Helianduo must have been defeated. He heard that he had escaped to the grassland and did not know where to end. He might as well agree to this matter. Hedong offered sacrifices every year, and Ke Yong was very loyal and could not let his heart down." Wei Zhaodu suggested.

The purpose of the saint asking about this was obviously not this. He was confused for a while and suddenly asked, "Will Ke Yong and Shude attack and kill each other?"

"Your Majesty, Ke Yong has already said that Wei and the two states of Wei have gone east and attacked Youzhou. Shude gathered his troops and stationed in Weibei, unlike the one who wants to attack Hedong." Wei Zhaodu replied.

"What is Shude's intention to be in Weibei?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, you seem to be talking about martial arts hunting."

"He is a vassal minister, what qualifications are there to talk about martial arts hunting?" The saint's face flashed with anger, and then sighed helplessly: "It's not impossible to fight, and it's not very interesting."

Wei Zhaodu was a little helpless. As the emperor, why did he hope that his vassals would fight all day long?

"People from Youzhou are asked to be the governor of Lulong." After Wei Zhaodu said that, Cui Zhaowei cleared his throat and said, "Li Kuang raised 500,000 pieces of silk, 200,000 pieces of money, and 1,000 pieces of gold and silver. He has sent soldiers to escort the road to Chang'an. Your Majesty may as well agree to it to help the country."

Generally, the "rear queen" who came to power in mutiny will follow the flow and agree. What's more, Li Kuangchou is knowledgeable and tactful, and is willing to contribute wealth, so there is no need to stop others.

"Where is Converse?" the saint asked suddenly.

"I don't know." Wei and Cui were a little ashamed. The imperial court's way of inquiring about news was far less than that of various vassal states. Unless the local government took the initiative to submit a letter, the news was generally delayed.

In fact, Li Convey has a family that is difficult to return, so he is stranded in Chengde.

He once led his army back quickly, but the morale of the soldiers was low and some people kept defecting to Youzhou. When he walked to Boye with only a few remaining troops, he was defeated by the army sent by Li Kuangchou and rushed back to Zhenzhou in a panic. At this point, most of the soldiers in Youzhou surrendered to Li Kuangchou, and there were only thousands of soldiers and horses around Converse, all of whom were trusted and trusted by others.

He had sent envoys to Chang'an and planned to enter the court to become an official, but the court had not received any news yet.

"Your Majesty, Converse probably won't go back to Youzhou, or he may be allowed to enter the court to increase the strength of the imperial guards." Cui Zhaowei suggested: "There are more than 3,000 children of Xuzhen, the generals of Yushan Capital, and their combat power is strong, which is obviously much higher than the others. If Converse enters the court and brings Youyan elite troops, it will be even more powerful."

"However, the people of Chang'an have a bad view of the Youzhou soldiers, and may not want them to enter the court." The saint said worriedly.

The Anshi Rebellion was dominated by Youzhou soldiers. During the middle of Jian's rebellion, the five thousand autumn soldiers from Youzhou were also very active. It is common for the people of Chang'an to dislike them.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Cui Zhaowei said confidently: "It is different from the past. Guanzhong has strong troops. When Yan soldiers come, I am afraid they will not dare to act rashly."

This is the credit of Marshal Shao. He is almost the guardian of Guanzhong and has a lot of food protection. Jingzhao Mansion is surrounded by its forces. Although it is aggrieved, it also avoids many external risks, right?

"Then I will send an envoy to contact Converse. If he is willing to enter the court, he will be indispensable to the Qing and nobles."

"Your Majesty is wise." The three prime ministers congratulated each other.

"The next thing is the scientific examination..."

The imperial court's "playing house" was busy, but Shao Dashang was relatively leisurely in Tongzhou.

The Zhenwu Army led by Zhang Yanqiu went south from Xiazhou and had just arrived in Tongzhou a while ago.

The Strategic Army is still accelerating its marching speed and it is expected that it will take some time to arrive.

As the situation changes, more and more Xia army generals are now aware of the key points and details of the strategy in the next stage.

What everyone cares most about is when to launch it!

"General Zhang, if you advance eastward successfully this time, you will get closer and closer to Hedong." In Xingde Palace, Shao Shude held a small banquet and invited Zhang Yanqiu to have a drink.

"The old story in Jinyang has passed in a flash." Zhang Yanqiu picked up the wine glass and refused to drink for a long time: "Dou Han, Deng Qian, Cui Jikang, Li Kan, Kang Chuangui, Zhang Kai, Guo Jun, Su Hongzhen, He Gongya, haha, I still remember it fresh."

Shao Shude also felt a little moved.

When he went to Hedong, he dug out his first pot of gold in his life.

When we went there, there were only fifty brothers who lived with us day and night, and when we came back, there were already 4,000 Tie Lin Army.

Yang Xingmi's experience is similar to his.

Shao's father was a soldier in Fengzhou, and Yang's father was a farmer in Luzhou. He also lost his father at a young age. He suffered a lot during his growth. Later, he simply became a bandit and was arrested by the government.

Mr. Yang is lucky. He was about to behead him, but the protagonist's halo was aroused by the governor. He even became the chief military officer and went to Lingzhou to prevent autumn.

When Shuai Dashuai started his career, he was the team leader, and Yang Xingmi was also the team leader, which is so similar.

Zhu Quanzhong was even worse than them. After his father Zhu Cheng died, he lived under the roof of Liu Chong's house in Xiaoxian County. His mother was a servant and his three brothers were servants. Later, he joined the Chao Army with Zhu Er. Zhu Er died of Yashi when he attacked Guangzhou. Zhu Sanze became a team leader, with eighty people under his command, and gradually became rich.

The three of them are unique, which is very different from the son of the governor like Li Keyong.

"I almost followed the army of Qiu to the river in the past." Shao Shude smiled and said, "I am sorry that I have not been able to do it. Now I am back. Maybe I will go to Hezhong Mansion to sit?"

Zhang Yanqiu laughed: "If the general went to Hezhong in the past, he would never be able to make a fortune. Wang Chongrong was born in the Wang family in Hedong and was a military academy. His father Wang Zong, as a cavalry general in Hezhong Town, defeated the Uighur Wujie Khan from Shixiong, and married the daughter of the Shi family, and became the governor of Yanzhou. Chongrong, once he entered the army, he was the commander of the team, the bravest of the three armies, and his martial arts skills were outstanding. Chongrong was able to become the commander of the horse and budu, and Shude, and you would not spend twice his energy. It would be better to have a unit from nothing. When it comes to fifty people, he was the commander of the team, hundreds of people, and he was the deputy general, and when he was thousands of people, he was the military envoy. He didn't have to look at others' eyes. He was promoted in seniority, and he was surrounded by old brothers. He was easy to command, and he was not as comfortable as Chongrong in the Hezhong Army?"

It is difficult to determine which one is better, which one is better, if one is better.

The former is promoted quickly, and sometimes a mutiny can become a military governor, but the interest relationship is complex and actually hinders a lot. This military governor was recommended by military leaders of all sizes in the town. You are just a spokesperson for interests.

The latter needed opportunities. Yang Xingmi encountered the chaotic situation in Luzhou, killed officials and rebelled, and was appreciated by Gao Pian and promoted to the governor of Luzhou. Shao Shude met to attack Li Guochang and his son. The court was very generous and appointed a large number of generals and schoolmen. He also followed the path of eunuchs and became the governor of Suizhou. After Zhu Quanzhong surrendered to the court, his soldiers were annexed by Wang Chongrong, leaving only 500 people. However, he knew how to be a man, bribed eunuchs, flattered civil servants, and was appointed as the governor of Xuanwu. However, at the beginning, there were only two states, and there were a large number of old Xuanwu army generals who disliked him in the town.

It’s not easy to get started!

But I still have to thank this era. In the late years of other dynasties, it would be difficult for the lower class like them to make a comeback unless they leave the rebel army.

In the era of domineering martial artists, it is much more magical.

"Wang Chongying was also a powerful general in the past, but now he is only over fifty years old, so he is lying on a sickbed. What a pity." Shao Shude sighed: "I'm not waiting. I'm thirty-six years old. How many years can I fight? This year, I will definitely take over Hezhong."

The separatist rule of the vassal states and the domineering martial artists can make the grassroots stand out, but correspondingly, there are people who dare to fight and fight everywhere, so it is so difficult to fight.

At this time, Shao Shude was a little envious of the end of the centralized dynasty.

The world was in chaos and heroes emerged. Most of them actually didn’t have many professional troops at hand. They were temporarily recruited farmers. After rough training, they went to the battlefield and did not have much experience in marching and fighting. The imperial army was corrupt and degenerate, the city had not been renovated for many years, and the passes were broken. Winning one or two low-level battles can often sweep a province or even several provinces without the time for others to react.

But what happens? It is difficult for you to sweep a state! There are military and political groups everywhere, with good armor, sufficient equipment, well-trained, able to fight, not surrender easily, and fighting to the end.

Is the military preparation a waste? No. Can people defeat the grassland Hu people with less and more? This combat power makes you desperate.

"In March, the river began to thaw, and the military army almost arrived. Whether Wang Chongying left or not, I would cross the river." Shao Shude took a sip of wine and said, "The opportunity is fleeting."

"Wang Chongying is coming soon, so the coach should not be too anxious." Zhang Yanqiu advised: "I am nearly fifty years old. Before I go to bed, I always have to make some contributions to the coach."

"I'm worried about Li Keyong now."

"In NSW, Kuangchou has sent tens of thousands of troops to reject it, not that fast."

"Is Li Kuangchou kicked his brain by a donkey? Why did he fight Li Keyong in the field?" Shao Shude was a little depressed.

Guarding the heroic city of Youzhou, what can Li Keyong do to you? He has to fight.

But he probably has difficulties. If he comes to power and defends the city, he will be afraid that another mutiny will occur.

"Master General!" Zheng Yong, the ten generals of the personal soldiers, suddenly broke in and reported: "The news came from Jiangzhou that Wang Chongying accidentally fell off the bed a few days ago. Now he is a little confused. Wang Yao urgently invites Tianxiong Army to go north."

"No!" Shao Shude slapped the table and said, "Tianxiong Army remains unmoved in Yucheng! He transferred from the army to Pinglu. Where did the guards' personal army go?"

He asked about a group of two thousand guards who went south from Shengzhou, led by Qianhu Meng Zhixiang and Murong Fu.

"Have arrived in Danzhou."

"Snap south!" Shao Shude ordered: "I urge the military to urge the military to open the army again. If you turn the lunar slower, don't do this military commander."

Zhang Yanqiu shook his head and laughed, "You are unlucky."

"Iron Linjun, I personally mobilize the Zhenwu Army, Zhang Jun envoy"

"The last one is here!" Zhang Yanqiu stopped laughing and responded.
