Li Po obviously cannot be compared with Li Yuan. Although he made great achievements in Zhuojun, few people in Hebei welcomed him.

This is not because he killed too many people, but because he was really not famous. The problem he encountered was actually similar to that of most rebel kings in the late Sui Dynasty. Basically, if you don't attack the city, people will ignore you.

Of course, unlike others, Li Po didn't care about this.

Zhuojun has been conquered, and more than half of his strategic goals have been accomplished. He does not want to stay in Hebei for long, but wants to conquer Hebei.

This year's war with the Turks moving south clearly told him that the feasibility of dividing the Heng'an Army into separate forces was extremely slim.

And once Youzhou is captured, most of the northern Turks' offensive will fall on his head. It is okay to defend Mayi. After all, he has stayed in Mayi for many years and has feelings.

But let him work so hard to guard the long frontier, let the guys in the south fight for it with peace of mind, not caring about your kindness, and hold you back from time to time. He will not do such stupid things.

By defending Mayi, Li Yuan was already advantaged. If we were to defend Youzhou again, wouldn't we be able to benefit Dou Jiande, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong?

He doesn't like those people in Yuyang County. They are a bunch of idiots. Without Luo Yi's Youzhou Army as a barrier and Zhuo County's food and grass, how can they be free?

From now on, if these guys are not the prey of the Turks, they will have to kowtow to Dou Jiande. Now they are just waiting to die with their tails raised.

Therefore, from the moment he entered Jicheng, Li Po ordered Luo Yi's head to be taken out. He sent it to the first four cities and told everyone clearly that Luo Yi was dead. Please be honest.

Then they opened the granaries one by one and inspected the grains and rice.

How much food reserves does Jicheng have? Facts tell Li Po that it's a lot, a lot, a lot.

It is said that Jicheng is full of millet and mountains, and that is no exaggeration. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty used Zhuojun as the starting point for his three expeditions to Goguryeo.

When all the grain and rice in the world are gathered in Zhuo County, the consumption is astonishing, and what is left is also astonishing.

Luo Yi and others guarded such a large amount of food and grass, and such elite soldiers, but they were caught in internal fighting and had no time to take care of them. It can only be said that it is fate.

It's like the rich family doesn't have many pursuits, but the poor people are desperately trying to climb up.

The Youzhou Army guarded the mountains of food and grass. But they were unwilling to step out of Youzhou. The hungry people outside rose up one after another and worked desperately for food. In the end, the Youzhou Army could only be the prey of others.

Li Po saw the right moment and shot his prey half to death with one arrow. He was finally overjoyed and felt that he would no longer have to worry about food in the future.

Then he started to collect chariots and horses, and ordered Zhuo County craftsmen to gather in Jicheng to build chariots. He wanted to transport all the grain back to Mayi.

He had almost a month to carry Zhuojun's grain, rice and soldiers before the heavy snow came.

This is a relatively large project, and the few people he has are really not enough.

Li Po was like a miser, patrolling the Jicheng granary everywhere with stars in his eyes.

When Yuchi told him that the grain and grass shipments would not be finished this year because the Flying Fox Road was too difficult to walk and there were not enough manpower.

Li Po gritted his teeth and issued an order that was later criticized by many people.

To relocate the people, all residents of Zhuo County who were willing to follow the army to the west were moved to Mayi, and they were given grain land and asked to help transport grain.

It sounds like it's mainly based on voluntariness, but these days, with a military order, it's no longer a voluntary matter. Everything will be dominated by the wishes of the soldiers.

Li Po was very cunning. He first spread rumors that the army was going west and wanted to transport all the grain in Zhuojun's granary back to Daizhou.

After arousing panic among the people of Zhuo County, they were lured with benefits, first moving the wealthy families, and then the common people.

At this time, the person who gave him advice has been replaced by Sima Wen Yanbo, the Sima of the General Office of Youzhou.

It can be said that this is the first person Li Po took in who is now quite famous.

Wen Yanbo was also full of helplessness. Li Po conquered Jicheng, so he stayed behind closed doors, showing off his literati pretensions.

Li Po was busy looking at the granary and could not pay attention to him. There would definitely not be any drama like visiting the thatched cottage. And this man was from a wealthy family in Taiyuan. His elder brother Wen Daya was said to be very trusted by Li Yuan and he did not kill him.

You are a good guy, why would you put your hot face on someone's cold ass?

But Wen Yanbo only stayed at home for two days before he couldn't sit still.

Relocating the people, in his opinion, is a heroic act to kill the people, and it is even more despicable than Dou Jiande, Wei Daoer and others.

After a long journey to Daizhou, how many families will be ruined during this long journey?

So, this man ran up to Li Po in disheveled clothes, beat his chest and feet, and made impassioned speeches, trying to dissuade Li Po from relocating the people.

It has to be said that Li Po did treat the literati more favorably and did not drag Wen Yanbo out and behead him immediately.

But Li Po blocked him back with just one sentence, "I have made up my mind. Instead of making irresponsible remarks, why don't you help me think about how to send these hundreds of thousands of people to Jin safely...

"

"Furthermore, you should know that Youzhou is no longer a good place. Once Luo Yi leaves, Youzhou's Pingfan has been lost. Surrounded by tigers and wolves, how can these hundreds of thousands of people survive? I will move the people now.

Daizhou saved them..."

Such strong words made Wen Yanbo furious.

As a result, the situation became quite funny. The Sima, the general manager of Youzhou, who had stayed behind closed doors, turned around and wanted to persuade Li Po to stay and occupy Youzhou to establish Hebei.

However, no matter how extravagant his words were, Li Po still ignored him.

He has been operating in Mayi for many years, and now he also hopes to take over Yanmen, Loufan is under his control, and with three counties in hand, his willingness to come to Hebei to compete with Dou Jiande is very low.

In other words, Hebei is a mess, people do not welcome him, and it is impossible for him to divide his troops, so the one who gives up must be Youzhou, and definitely not the three counties of Daizhou.

The one who compromised must be Wen Yanbo, so his official position was immediately reduced by one rank and he became the Sima of the Mayi Prefecture.

But a compromise is a compromise, and Wen Yanbo's persuasion did work.

Li Po extended the immigration plan for more than half a year, that is, until next summer. Hundreds of thousands of people from Zhuo County will be moved to Daizhou.

He wanted to solve Daizhou's shortage of people and food in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, relocating people on such a large scale will bring about infamy, and there will definitely be no shortage of sequelae.

The only consolation is that the external interference encountered during the immigration process was reduced to a minimum during the Battle of Zhuojun.

In July of the thirteenth year of Daye, Wei Daoer sent troops northward to plunder the grain team.

They were defeated in one fell swoop by Luo Shixin. After chasing for hundreds of miles, Wei Daoer was frightened and immediately led his troops to flee eastward. Dou Jiande led his troops north to support him. During the field battle, he was harassed by Luo Shixin, Yu Chigong, Liu Jingsheng and others. Due to the lack of logistics, he hurriedly

Withdrew the troops and returned to their home base.

The cavalry of the Heng'an Town Army traveled across the Hebei Plain, coming and going like the wind, making the heroes of Hebei fearful.

After that, no one dared to trouble Li Po anymore.

The mobility of the cavalry. If you defeat them, the result will not be much. If you are defeated, you will not be able to escape. No one is willing to fight such a war.

We could only watch helplessly as the Heng'an town army, like the hard-working Mayi army, gradually emptied the relatively wealthy Zhuojun, and also consumed the last bit of vitality in Hebei.

Of course, if the war in Hebei was so simple, Guo Xuan and Xue Shixiong would have been unjustly defeated, and Yang Yichen would have pacified Hebei long ago.

The war in Hebei is actually based on a random word.

There are powerful clans entrenched in the place. On both sides of the country, there are many Youzhou troops standing on the hilltops. They sit back and watch the chaos in Hebei. The rebels are defeated and reunited, and they reunite and disperse. It is difficult to suppress them. The Shandong rebels pour into Hebei one after another. Once they are defeated, they will

He ran back to Shandong again so that you could not catch up with him.

This kind of mess will only come to an end when it reaches a certain level, and it won't change because of your sharpness.

The chaos in Hebei and Shandong is different from that in Hebei, Lianghuai, and Guanxi. Their chaos is even more complete.

The rebels in Hebei did not dare to cause trouble, but Li Po had to face another enemy, the Turks.

When autumn was high and the horses were fat, Dou Jiande and others reported that the Turkic Eastern Khan drove the Khitan tribes southward and attacked Juyongguan. Outside Feihu's mouth, enemy traces were frequently seen.

This war is something Li Po must face with gritted teeth.

The disadvantage of dividing the army into two areas also came. In mid-July, news came from Yunnei that the Turks were moving south again.

The good news is that there were not many Turks going south, and the Turkic Shibi Khan did not personally conquer the country. It was more like a spontaneous plundering behavior by the Turkic tribes wandering in the clouds.

This made Li Po breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, even if Shibi Khan leads his troops southward again, there is nothing surprising. As long as they defend the cities of Mayi, Yunnei, and Yanmen, the Turks will gain nothing.

As for whether the Turks will attack Jinyang, people in the three counties of Daizhou now say they don't care.

In fact, Li Po didn't know that the Turks were also in dire straits in the second half of the year.

The drought has affected the Yunzhong Grassland, which is why the Turkic tribes in Yunzhong went south to hunt.

Jieli Khan, who had always been in control of the Western Turkic tribes, was put under house arrest by Shibi Khan in the royal court, and the Western Khan was replaced.

This decision of Shibi Khan cannot be said to be good or bad. Jieli Khan has been on the throne of the Western Khan for many years and has done many disrespectful things to the royal court. As his authority gradually increased, Shibi Khan finally made up his mind.

Come and deal with this brother.

The consequences soon appeared. In May, a large-scale rebellion broke out among Tiele tribes. This was a war started by Jieli Khan's subordinates because they were dissatisfied with the royal court's detention of Jieli Khan.

The intensity was poorly controlled and did not threaten the royal court, but allowed the rebellious Tiele tribes to move westward and join forces with the Shekui Khan in the west.

In fact, this is the sequelae of Shibi Khan's two southern expeditions. He and Yang Guang are really brothers in need, showing the wonders of the world.

(Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, Acao read the comments in the book review section, and was a little dissatisfied with the chapter of Sweeping, but Acao felt that there was no problem with the strategy and tactics. Previously, Acao wanted to write about half-crossing and attacking, but considering that Luo Yi is also a

A good general cannot be fooled so easily, so he changed it.

The terrain of Zhuo County also determined that there were not many tactics that the cavalry could use, and there was no room for insertion. Moreover, behind the Youzhou Army was Liangxiang, so the tactics should be a frontal attack.

Ah Cao has laid enough groundwork before. Leading the Youzhou Army out of Jicheng is actually a key strategic victory. As for using cavalry to charge into the battle, there is no problem with the Youzhou Army rushing to fight, right?

Seizing the opportunity to win a battle is a tactical victory.

Book friends who feel that victory is too easy, or that victory is too difficult, think about it carefully and realize that Ah Cao did not leave so many loopholes.

Well, I wrote a lot, but don’t worry, it doesn’t count in the word count.)
