On the 22nd day of the winter, Li Luo's army finally left the ancient road of Guanlong, rushed straight to Qingshui County, one of the three counties of Qinzhou, and entered Longyou (later Gannan).

Longyou is one of the few humid areas in the northwest. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and a warm climate. It is very similar to Sichuan and Shu, and it is completely different from the northwest region. Although it is already winter, it is not too cold here.

No wonder it has become one of the earliest sources of Chinese civilization.

The people along the way saw a large group of soldiers and horses hiding. The people here did not lurk in advance to do their work, and they didn't know much about the Tang army. Although they knew about Tang State and Li Luo, they didn't know what the difference between the Tang army and other armies were.

This is a bit ironic. Longxi is Lintao, the "ancestoric land" of Tang Lord Li Luo, is not far away.

How can you do this?

At this time, all the officials in Qingshui County fled and there was no defense in the county. Li Luo did not enter the county town at all, but sent a coalition Tang army and several new Jinshi to "take the seal" and take over the local regime.

The Tang army advanced west along the Wei River and entered Qinzhou (Tianshui) in just two days. It accepted the name Ji County. It swept across like a fallen leaves and rushed directly to the General Mansion of Gongchang, the Yuanting Gongchang, which was set up in Dingxi Prefecture of the Tao River Basin.

At the same time, Xiao Bei, a Khitan general of the Tang army, conquered Qingyang in Longdong with 50,000 troops, and Shen Huasheng and Liu Weitai, who were stationed in Xiaoguan, left Xiaoguan Road with 20,000 troops, advanced west along the Jinghe River, and attacked Guyuan Anxi Palace.

In the entire later generations, more than 100,000 Tang troops suddenly poured in in central and southern Gansu and southern Ningxia (which belonged to Shaanxi at this time), and the strategy was like fire.

The Yuan army, which had only tens of thousands of remaining soldiers in Shaanxi, organized a large number of local tyrants to resist, how could it be that few could be defeated by the masses?

It was really urgent everywhere and retreated everywhere.

On the 25th day of the winter month, the Tang army led by Li Luo personally defeated the 40,000 army formed by the 20,000 yuan army of the Yuan army Gong Changdu Marshal Ade and 20,000 local tyrants without any effort.

Although the Yuan army had 40,000, it was pieced together, including the Kerchin army, the powerful armed forces, the noble private soldiers and slaves, and the real Mongolian Semu cavalry, with less than 3,000 people.

How can I fight this?

Li Luo personally led 50,000 Tang troops, 15,000 cavalry alone, and 10,000 firearms. Even if there are 50,000 Mongolian Seminys, the cavalry is not afraid of it. How can the Yuan army, which is mainly infantry, be a rival?

There was no suspense at all, and the Tang army destroyed the Yuan army's lucky fantasy with a fierce offensive.

The Tang army launched a gale to attack the Yuan army with its iron cavalry for the first time, and immediately defeated the Yuan army, killing more than 10,000 people, and capturing more than 20,000 people.

After the rise of the Tang Kingdom, it fought a lot of wars. But as soon as it came into battle, it took the initiative to confront the Yuan army head-on. This was the first time.

There were less than three thousand cavalrymen who bullied Adai.

The Tang army cavalry is completely the way of fighting between the former Tang cavalry and the Jin cavalry: charge!

Since riding and shooting cannot be done, then rush up and use cavalry rifles and long weapons to slash and kill. This kind of cavalry battle with hand-to-hand horses will test the knight's personal force and coordination ability.

After easily winning the Taohe victory, the Tang army took advantage of the victory to attack Dingxi City and captured officials from the General Administration of Gongchang.

Then, Li Luo left a small number of troops and rushed straight to Lintao!

On the thirtyth day of winter, the Tang army marched into Gaolan Mountain, occupying half of Lanzhou, and drinking horses and the Yellow River!

Almost at the same time, Xiao Bei defeated Qingyang's 20,000 local armed forces and captured Qingyang City. Shen Baisheng also captured Guyuan.

More than 100,000 Tang troops were divided into four groups, and the entire Longyou and Longdong fell into the hands of the Tang army in less than half a month!

It's really a strategy.

…………

"The villain Wanyan Jing, pay homage to the Lord of Wolf! Pay homage to Your Majesty!" In the Tang tent, a tall and dirty young man was bowing down with fear and even trembling slightly.

I don't know if it's excitement or fear.

This person's name is Yan Jing, and he was originally a shepherd slave.

It turned out that Zong Zhou, who had sneaked into Longyou a month in advance, had already contacted the Jurchen remnants in Longyou and summoned them to serve as the anti-Yuan.

The most famous one is Yan Jing.

"Okay, you are here just right!" Li Luo personally helped Yan Jing up, "I heard from Zong Zhou that you are Du Lie's clan brother?"

"If you come back to the wolf master, Xiaoren and Du Lie are indeed brothers of the same clan, but they have only given out five squads." Yan Jing replied respectfully, "His grandfather was the governor of Longyou back then, and Xiaoren's ancestor was just a magistrate."

His face was flushed and his voice trembled. He was obviously nervous and excited because of the emperor's reception. In fact, the title of Wolf Lord has brought the distance closer, otherwise he would only be even more nervous.

Although he had some knowledge and prestige among the shepherd slaves, he was loyal and strong, and he had read a little book and knew some words.

But he was a slave after all, and the biggest person he had ever met was a Mongolian official.

Li Luo patted his shoulder, "Zong Zhou is my close confidant, and he has become the Minister of War. I will not treat you as an outsider."

Yan Jing suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart and said excitedly: "The villain thanked the wolf master for accepting it. We are willing to fight for the wolf master on the battlefield and restore the Central Plains. We will never regret the horse and corpse."

After the demise of the Jin Dynasty, these Jurchen remnants were enslaved by Mongolian nobles. Most of them became herd slaves, and a few became land slaves of the rich clans. None of them could be free people.

Longyou was an important place in the Jin Dynasty because we had to guard against the Western Xia and Western Liao. At that time, there were as many as 100,000 Jurchen people here.

But now, there are less than 30,000 Jurchens in the entire Longyou. Many of them were killed by the Mongolian army, or they were killed by the Yuan army, and they were consumed as cannon fodder for the Yuan army to fight.

The people contacted by Zong Zhou were all Jurchen herd slaves. All men were good at riding horses and were very good cavalry seedlings.

When they learned that King Dai had become the father of Tang Zhi and was respected as the Supreme Emperor, they immediately became excited and demanded to serve the Emperor of Tang.

In less than a month, Zongzhou recruited thousands of Jurchens, and everyone could ride a horse and tie a bow.

They also took the initiative to kill the Mongolian Semu nobles in the manor and ranch, rob war horse weapons, kill the Guardian Armour, and attack the county town. When Zong Zhou brought them to see Li Luo, almost five thousand people were armed.

"Yan Jing, are you all the five thousand people Jurchens?" Li Luo asked while reviewing these soldiers who were originally Mu Nu.

Yan Jing replied: "Eighty-mostly the Jurchens are Jurchens, and a few are Qiang, Dangxiang people and Han people. However, Zong Zhou said it well, there are no Jurchens now. We have more systems in the Tang Dynasty, and we are all classified as Huaxia."

Li Luo looked at Zong Zhou with approval. Well, Zong Zhou did a good job and promoted it very well.

Actually, it is not surprising that they have suffered enough in recent years because they are Jurchens. Many Jurchens have too little time to conceal the identity of Jurchens. Who is willing to take the title of Jurchens?

They just want to live like a person. It would be even better if they had the opportunity to make a future.

"Yan Jing, I will first appoint you as the commander of the Thousand Cavalry, a great warrior, with the rank of Sima, commanding a thousand men, and temporarily as auxiliary soldiers." Li Luo immediately injured Yan Jing's military position.

Although Yan Jing brought five thousand people, he was not the only leader among them. There were several leaders, and they were also appointed as the commander of the Thousand Cavalry and were appointed as auxiliary soldiers.

After all, they were still muslims before and had never fought any war. In fact, they were just new recruits who had not been trained. They were already very respectful to be assigned to auxiliary soldiers for the time being.

"Thank you Your Majesty for the reward! We must be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and your Majesty!" Yan Jing and others visited the ceremony together, and were so happy that they couldn't stop talking.

Thousand Riders are the leader!

They were slaves to Mongolian nobles before, but now they have become officials!

At this time, Hule Temur, the political affairs of the Yuan Dynasty, who was far away in Ganzhou (Zhangye), had already learned of the Tang army's attack on Longyou.

However, Gansu's heavy troops are still in the far Western Regions, and it will take a month to come back. How could he support the Yuan army in Longyou?

Hule Temur could only place a limited number of tens of thousands of troops on the northern bank of Lanzhou on the Lanzhou front line to defend against the Tang army crossing the river.

Lanzhou is in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. The water is not large and it is relatively soothing, so it is easy to cross the river. In fact, if the Tang army decided to cross the river, tens of thousands of Gansu Yuan troops would not be able to stop it.

Fortunately, Li Luo did not have the idea of ​​crossing the Yellow River to take over Gansu.

Because Li Luo knew that the heavy troops of the Yuan army in the Western Regions would soon return to Gansu, and at least 100,000 cavalry would come back.

Now he only needs to defend the Yellow River and Longshan (Liupanshan). However, although he will not take Gansu, he still has to cross the river and fight!

Why?

Because the 100,000 war horses stocked on the Guanshan Plain were transferred to Liangzhou by the Yuan court!

At this time, heavy snow had already fallen from the sky and the sky was cold and the earth was frozen. In fact, it was not appropriate to send troops.

However, you can wait until the Yellow River freezes and cross the river in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the war in Longyou stopped. The Tang army wiped out tens of thousands of Yuan army and regiment training armed forces and captured tens of thousands of prisoners.

The Tang army was divided into many squads, occupied prefectures and counties, took over local governments, suppressed the powerful, liberated slaves, and began to implement the equal-field order.

Longyou has always been rich and has many powerful families. Many of them are large families that have been passed down for hundreds of years in Guanlong nobles. There are also many Mongolian nobles who have surrendered their fiefs.

This time, they paid money to send troops and food to prevent the regiment from training armed forces and private soldiers, helped the Yuan court to resist the Tang army, and committed a serious crime.

The Tang army arrested people according to the list. Anyone who tried to resist the Tang army would be confiscated. All the ranches and property of the Mongolian Seme nobles were confiscated and the population was slaves.

Every day, I have a snow-filled property statistics list and fly into the Gaolan Mountain Camp where Li Luo is located.

Gold, silver, grain, cloth, horses, jewelry, fields, pastures... everything is available.

Before the house search was completed, there were millions of stones of grain, millions of taels of silver, and tens of thousands of taels of gold alone.

There were also more than 30,000 cattle, horses and animals, and tens of thousands of skins. More than 3,000 officials, noble families and children of noble families who were punished as slaves.

Not to mention that there are still a large amount of monopolized land and forests.

Another war fortune.

This has not been counted yet, and the number is only half. There is more than one million people in Longyou, and nearly half of them are slaves from wealthy families and slaves from officials and nobles. Think about how much wealth they have.

The land and slaves occupied by the Tantric temples and the temples of XXX were also confiscated and liberated.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the biggest fortune has come.

This is a list sent by Shen Baisheng and Liu Weitai from Guyuan. They copied the property of Ananda, the king of Anxi!

King Anxi had been in Guyuan before. Later, Kublai Khan led him to the west to expedition, so he temporarily stayed in the Black Sea to guard the Yuan Jin Horde. However, his family and family in Guyuan were not taken away.

At this moment, all the property of the Anxi Prince's Mansion was cheaper than the Tang army.

The list that Li Luo saw was recorded on several pages in a dense manner.

Gold alone is more than 100,000 taels!

There are more than one million silver and countless jewelry, which is difficult to estimate. There are also thousands of horses, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, as well as mountains of fur, salt and grain.

The total value is estimated to be several million!

It’s so rich. It took only ten years for King Anxi to be granted to Longyou. He has accumulated millions of dollars in more than ten years, which is amazing.

Unfortunately, it is now all of them belong to Li Luo.

But this man Li Luo is not satisfied.

Because he thought that Temujin was buried near the Anxi Palace of Guyuan at the foot of Liupan Mountain?

Guyuan is not a famous place. There is certainly a reason why King Anxi is so popular but he is here.

The reason is to secretly guard the tomb for Temujin.
To be continued...
