Of course, Yang Yichen is right. He is an old official of the Sui Dynasty, and he is naturally familiar with the Xiao family.
Yang Yichen is not in Jin, but he has two sons here...
The matter of welcoming Empress Xiao back to the south is not urgent, because Empress Xiao is in Dali City and has not moved north with the Turkic tents.
Li Po and Wen Yanbo discussed it, and then they summoned Yuchi Xie to Jiangjun, told him the beginning and end in detail, and ordered him to lead his people north out of the fortress, so as to protect Empress Xiao in advance, and then choose a day for Yuchi Xie to take Yuen Long and others.
People led their troops to meet him.
In this way, the etiquette is very thoughtful.
What Li Po then thought about was what impact would the Turkic Khan's northward movement have on the Yunzhong Grassland?
This is not something that can be guessed by simply relying on imagination. As the Turkic Khan's camp moves north, the Yunzhong Grassland will definitely be much emptier than before.
But Li Po would never think that the border troubles in the north would completely disappear.
Without the control of the Turkic Khan's tent, who knows what those Turkic tribes, large and small, will do.
Therefore, following Yu Chixin's move northward, Li Po also issued an order to everyone in Mayi, ordering Duan Fang, Yuen Long and others not to slack off and to guard against northern tribes from southward raids in the coming year.
The clouds felt empty, and Daizhou was actually not solid at all.
If it were still the small warlord who occupied Daizhou back then, he would definitely try his best to take advantage of this opportunity to turn Yunzhong Grassland into his own pasture.
But now, he no longer cares about the north. Once the whirlpool of civil war enters, it will be extremely difficult to get out.
……………………
At the end of August, the Tang envoy and his party, who were blocked by the wind and snow in Longmen, finally crossed the Yellow River and left the border of Hedong.
Good news also began to reach Li Po's ears one after another.
Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng did not stay in Linfen County for too long. As soon as the heavy snow passed, they led their troops directly into Shangdang.
It is not unusual for the Daibei cavalry to fight in August.
The two of them chose to fight quickly while the weather was still good.
It took them two days to get all the way to Tunliu. Tunliu County was very similar to Pingyao and other places in the past. After being looted by the rebel army, it was depopulated and almost became an empty city.
There are probably more than 2,000 thieves stationed here. One is here to spend the winter, and the other can be a little arrogant.
As soon as the army arrived, the wind and clouds were rolling, and the army broke into the city without much effort and slaughtered the bandits.
Liu Jingsheng had not participated much in the war to suppress bandits, but Luo San'er was different. He followed Zhang Xutuo in Shandong to eliminate banditry in Shandong. During those two or three years, the Shandong people killed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, leaving the land in disarray.
Therefore, Luo Shixin would never be soft on the bandits. Liu Jingsheng still had some scruples, so he gave Luo Shixin a few words of advice. Luo Shixin also had his own reasons this time. It was winter, and if he wanted to win a quick victory, he had to be ruthless.
At that time, someone was sent to guard the surrendered prisoners.
Liu Jingsheng believed this, so at the beginning of winter, the two men let go of their hands and started killing on the Shangdang territory.
In fact, if these two people were smarter, they would understand that Li Po sent Luo Shixin to suppress the bandits without any prior instructions, which almost meant that they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
This is like telling everyone that the period of Huairou has passed, and if anyone wants to cause chaos again, they will be killed without mercy.
Luo Shixin and his two men captured more than 1,700 people in Tunliu. After just a brief screening, the heads began to roll down. More than 1,500 mountain refugees, bandits, or Shangdang heroes who gathered from various places all acted.
Kill the ghost under the sword.
After the army rested in Tunliu for a day, Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng led the army to leave Tunliu County, which was full of blood, and went straight to Lucheng.
In fact, this battle was also a typical cavalry raid. The chaotic Lucheng rebel army gathered 50,000 to 60,000 people and fought in the county town. However, they could not break through the county town like they did Luzhou, so they retreated to Lucheng.
winter.
Luo Shixin was extremely experienced in fighting against such a rebellious army. He told Liu Jingsheng that he didn't need to be so particular. The more direct and brutal the method, the more likely he would be to win.
It was indeed the case. After rapid expansion and annexation, the unsuspecting rebel army was stationed in Lucheng City in a disorderly manner, living a life of eating meat and drinking wine with open stomachs.
Emperor Zhang Jinhu of Dasheng occupied the residence of Liu family, a wealthy family in Lucheng, and took advantage of the situation to marry Liu's daughter. He took more than ten concubines, held beauties in his arms, drank fine wine, ate delicacies, and was intoxicated by his yellow beauty.
Liang is in a sweet dream.
If he is given more time, he can improve his official position better. As an emperor, he must be surrounded by hundreds of officials to be majestic.
Well, there is no need to go into too much detail. This kind of "rebel army" in the usual sense has to go through such a process, and then there will probably be internal strife. If the team does not fall apart during the internal strife and can still survive, it will probably be born.
A wiser leader. In this way, they may become more formal.
Well, to sum up, they are still in an early stage. The leader is careless, and the people under his command are not loyal or ambitious.
On the other hand, some remnants of Zhen Zhai'er's rebel army have some cohesion and occupy the north of Lucheng City, and their power is quietly expanding.
But it's useless to say all this.
The army "came quietly", and Luo Shixin sent elite troops to seize the south gate of Lucheng at night. Later, Liu Jingsheng led his troops to block the four city gates of Lucheng, and Luo Shixin led his army to rush in.
It's almost a replica of the Battle of Tunliu.
Needless to say, there was no need to say much about such a battle. Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng retook Lucheng and killed the Great Sheng Emperor Zhang Jinhu, Prime Minister Lu Mao and others. The rebel army that escaped from Lucheng was defeated in the wild by Liu Jingsheng's troops.
After the first battle, the rebel army was almost completely wiped out. Even if a few lucky ones escaped the cavalry's attack during the darkness, they would probably freeze to death in the severe cold weather.
This was the end of a great rebellion.
Luo Shixin sacrificed the butcher knife again, causing Lucheng to be completely drowned in blood.
Amidst the strong smell of blood, Luo Shixin sent someone to send the heads of several bandit leaders to express their merits to Li Po, and then ordered officials from the Shangdang prefecture down, as well as county magistrates from various places to meet in Lucheng.
This was obviously Liu Jingsheng's idea, to take advantage of the great victory over the rebellion to overwhelm the powerful Shangdang.
But what made them angry and surprised was that only a few people came, but everyone did not ignore them. They sent many gifts, but the people who came were not important people, and they all declined because of the difficult road.
Come.
The rest of the people are "sick".
For example, Yan Zong, the governor of Shangdang, was caught by the cold and could not come to Lucheng to meet the two generals. He only sent his troops to bring some food and grass.
