The Tang army cavalry advanced all the way, and the Tang army went out to "grab food" everywhere. The Tang lord Li Luo led 30,000 troops to head north without fast or slow.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the main force of the Tang army's cavalry arrived in Wuwei, which is Liangzhou.

However, the spy came to report that the 100,000 Guanshan war horses transferred to Liangzhou by the Yuan court were transferred to Ganzhou by Pingzhang, Gansu.

Hu Gu said furiously: "The horses in Guanshan are owned by our Tang Dynasty, and we will definitely fight them!" He then ordered the cavalry to speed up and advance for more than 200 miles a day. Two days later, he came to Ganzhou, besieged the whole city, shot arrows in, and ordered the horses to be handed over. Otherwise, once they entered the city, they would be killed by all seventh ranks or above.

At this time, Hule Temur, Pingzhang, Gansu, had no soldiers available. As a major city, Ganzhou had less than 10,000 Kerchin Han army and less than 3,000 Mengyan cavalry. How can we resist becoming tens of thousands of Tang army cavalry?

"Prince Pingzhang, the rebels are now in great power and the reinforcements have not returned. Still, still..." Gansu right prime minister Ma Ahu couldn't help but say.

"What did you say? Hand over the war horse? This is rebellion!" Ping Zhang was furious and pointed at the right chief, "If you dare to say another word, this hall will kill you for the court!"

The Right Prime Minister suddenly shut up. All the other officials in the provincial yamen were as silent as a cicada, for fear of angering the official Pingzhang.

"Prevent and defend! At most, the reinforcements will be back after half a month!" Ping Zhang drew his sword and shouted, pointing at the city, "The court will not ignore Gansu! This hall not only wants to defend Ganzhou, but also destroy these damn pseudo-Tang rebels!"

Ma Ahu and the Han officials shook their heads secretly. Li Luo arrived soon. How could this dangerous city in Ganzhou be defended? If they did not hand over the war horses obediently, they would all die when the rebels broke through the city.

They are indeed loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, but they are not Mongolians. There is no need to accompany them to be buried with them, right?

The court did not care about Gansu, but so what? It was too late. The rebels attacked Gansu, Shaanxi in two or three months. Where could the court react?

The army in the Central Plains will not come for a while, and the army in the Western Regions will not come for a while.

Just as the officials in the city were anxious, the rebels under the city suddenly retreated like a tide and headed west, without caring about Ganzhou City.

But Pingzhang Hule Timur was not only unhappy, but also shocked.

"No! The rebels must know the valley of the hidden horses!" Hule Temur stomped his feet in a hurry, "Damn it! That's one hundred thousand war horses! Damn the jackal!"

One hundred thousand war horses were hidden in the Qilian Mountains west of Ganzhou. There was a gourd-shaped valley, which was very hidden.

In theory, the rebels who came from afar and had unfamiliar terrain did not know.

But now, judging by this situation, the rebels actually knew it.

Of course, Tang Jun knew that because the military intelligence from the Special Inspection Bureau was sent continuously, it was difficult to hide ordinary things from the Tang Jun.

It was because Guangxia and Yelu Zhongjie received information that they gave up Ganzhou and turned to the valley in the Qilian Mountains.

Just one hour later, tens of thousands of Tang cavalry arrived at their destination. The less than a thousand Yuan troops guarding the valley entrance could stop them. Seeing tens of thousands of Tang cavalry, they fled into the mountains without thinking.

The Tang army entered the valley, but saw war horses everywhere in the snow valley, densely packed, but the war horses were all tied and could not make any sounds.

Thousands of herd slaves are still taking care of the horses.

"Hahaha, I found it! These war horses are all from my Tang Dynasty!" Hu Gu laughed happily when he saw so many war horses.

"Come, take these herdsmen and let them drive the horses out!" Yelu Zhongjie also ordered.

After two full hours, all 100,000 war horses left the valley and were taken away by the Tang cavalry under the management of the herd slaves.

The Tang cavalry captured 100,000 war horses and thousands of military slaves. Instead of retreating immediately, they continued to besiege Ganzhou and waited for Li Luo. While sending a team of hundreds of people to "rob" the property of the nobles and powerful people everywhere.

After a few days, all the nobles and powerful men within a radius of hundreds of miles were affected. Their property, grain, carriages and horses were stolen by the Tang army and transported to the city of Ganzhou in a car.

In order to transport food and property, the Tang army even robbed slaves. Many bigwigs who had wealthy slaves before turned into paupers overnight.

If there was a slight resistance, the Tang army would kill people and capture their families and children as slaves.

The Yuan officials in the city watched the rebels rob property and poison Gui's family. They shouted and shouted unscrupulously in the snow, biting the steel teeth, but they could do nothing.

"Then, that's my carriage! The rebels robbed the manor outside my city! The god-killing Tang Kou! Ah-" A third-rank official in the city suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes turning red.

The second-rank Zuo Cheng also exclaimed as if he was stung by a scorpion: "And the carriage in my manor! I'm finished throwing my castle!"

The Yuan officials and wealthy families in the city beat their chests and stamped their feet, and the fragile ones even cried loudly.

The manor and mansion outside their city were robbed by rebels.

Why doesn’t it hurt? How can it not be hated?

As for how these huge amounts of money came from, and what life the people and slaves lived, they all ignored it.

By the time Li Luo's central army arrived in Ganzhou, the spoils of the Tang cavalry had accumulated like mountains. There were thousands of carriages carrying money and grain alone, and more than eight thousand slaves.

There are many grains, salt, furs, jewelry, cloth, gold and silver... I don’t know how many of them are.

The nobles and powerful people near Ganzhou were basically robbed. More than a dozen officials and nobles of the Yuan Dynasty were plundered.

"I Hu Gu (Yelu Zhongjie) pays homage to Your Majesty!" As soon as Li Luozhong's army arrived, Hu Gu and Yelu Zhongjie came to pay homage.

"Let's just sit well, you did a good job, and you won't be in vain." Li Luo was also very happy when he saw the war horses and money.

The battles he fought were basically making money.

Because Li Luo launched a war, not only war, but essentially a redistribution of wealth. Every time he fought a place, he would confiscate the property of the old nobles and the landlords and bureaucrats. How could he not make a fortune?

In this way, it was indeed the nobles and powerful people who offended them to death, which made them hate them. But Li Luo also won the hearts of the majority of people.

No matter how you calculate it, he won't lose.

"Your Majesty, do you want to attack Ganzhou?" Yelu Zhongjie asked.

Lord Tang looked at Ganzhou City coldly, "Isn't surrender openly? Tell them that if you don't surrender within half an hour, all officials and civil and military officials above the seventh rank will be considered dead! The family will be slaves! If you surrender opens the city, you can live!"

"No!" Hu Gu smiled and immediately arranged to shoot arrows into the city again.

At this time, when officials from Gansu Province saw the Li Luo flag and the mighty army under the city, they no longer had the intention of luck.

Pingzhang Hule Timur trembled all over when he learned of Tang Jun's ultimatum.

How could the rebels bullied the world's invincible Great Mongolian Kingdom, this great Yuan Dynasty?

Now, what should I do?

"Officer Pingzhang..." Many officials looked at him pitifully.

That clearly means "open the city and surrender".

Even Mongolian officials remained silent.

[Receive cash when reading books] Follow the vx official account [Book Friends Base Camp], you can also receive cash when reading books!

It is obvious that under the rebel artillery and 60,000 or 70,000 troops, the empty Ganzhou City could not be defended at all and there was no hope.

The most I have been waiting for two days.

Resistance is purely futile, and it takes life and family members to become slaves.

"Kaicheng...let them in!"

Hule thought painfully for a while, and after sending people out of the city to negotiate with the Tang army, he finally ordered the city to open.

The condition is that things can be moved, but they cannot be captured.

He is old, and his years of career as a high-ranking official and beautiful man have lost the courage to destroy Song Dynasty. He is no longer a warrior, but just an old politician who cares about his family and lives.

The Tang army agreed to the conditions of provincial officials, as long as they are in the world, they will not capture them, let alone kill them.

If they didn't open the city, with the strength of Ganzhou City, they would have to attack for one or two days. The Tang army would have some casualties and consume a lot of ammunition.

They are willing to surrender, which is the best.

Looking at the open city gate, Li Luo's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm.

Wealth is a land of gentleness, and pleasure is poison. Even the Mongolian Yuan nobles who were founded soon will be corrupt and degenerate.

The warriors are still the soldiers of the Yuan army in the middle and lower class. Most of the middle and upper class of the Yuan court are no longer considered warriors.

How long can an army that maintains combat effectiveness by relying on toughness and savageness?

As soon as the city gate opened, the Tang army swaggered into the city, first of all, guarded the senior officials of the province and asked about the official treasury and property.

As the capital of Gansu, Ganzhou City is an important town in the northwest and an important city on the Silk Road. It has prosperous business, dense population, and many nobles. It is so good now that the whole city cries, as if the doomsday has come.

Although the Tang army had strict military disciplines, it was unambiguous. As long as it was a high-ranking family, it would be called the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and confiscate family wealth for the crime of traitors.

What?

The crime of traitor?

Many Mongolian noble officials were so angry that they were not Han people. Why are we traitors guilty? Why are you so shameless?

You might as well say you rob, we will feel better.

The money and grain in the official treasury were transported out in truckloads, and the things in the noble officials and wealthy mansions were also transported out in truckloads. The Tang army led the officers to take the head of the house and directly asked about the money and grain, and killed them if they didn't give it to them, just like a robber.

The originally arrogant mansion of nobles suddenly heard the cry of a woman. Many mistresses saw the money, food and property in the house being emptied, crying like crazy, like a child who died, heartbroken.

The Tang army not only searched for money, food, and property from noble people, but also wanted chariots and horses and slaves.

Fortunately, there was no random killing after all.

In the end, there was nowhere to be found, and the Tang army withdrew from Ganzhou.

The money, grain and materials in the provincial government treasury were emptied, the warehouses of noble families were emptied, and all the cars, horses and officials and slaves were taken away.

There were hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, gold and silver discounts of millions of taels, more than ten thousand taels of chariots and horses, and more than ten thousand slaves.

Of course, these slaves were dismissed from slavery, but now, they still need to be slaves for a while to transport supplies for the Tang army.

In less than a day, Gansu's wealthiest Ganzhou became a "pauper".

Tang Lord Li Luo never entered the city from beginning to end. He is the emperor and is shameless. Such things should not be done in person.

Not bad, he has indeed drunk the wind and swallowed the sand, but that was the past.

"Your Majesty, this is a list, please check it out." Hu Gu presented the material list as soon as possible after leaving the city.

Li Luo looked at it, "Their food has been emptied?"

Hu Gu smiled and said, "After your Majesty's words, they have been emptied."

Li Luo looked around and said loudly: "Although they are officials of the Yuan Dynasty or are rich and unkind families, they are people after all. Since they take the initiative to open the city, they cannot starve to death."

"Hu Gu, I passed on my will and left 10,000 stones of grain for them, and said what I said, so that they can have food for the winter."

Hu Gu immediately said, "Your Majesty is a grand demeanor and a great benevolence and saint. It is truly a blessing for all people in the world."

The people around the world also said that the Tang lord and the saint were the most saint.

Li Luo smiled and said, "You only know one thing but not the other. I am the emperor, and the Tang army is the king's army. Since they promised to let them go, they cannot break their promises and become fat. But if they have no food to eat, they will continue to blackmail the people and seize the food. In this way, they will still harm the people. What I pity is actually the common people in the city."

Wei Su stepped forward and held Li Luo's horse, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is thinking about the long-term, benevolent and generous. No one in ancient times can do it first!"

So, the Tang army left behind 10,000 stones of grain to the officials and nobles in the city, saying that it was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to them.

Haha, kindness! The officials and nobles of the Yuan court in the city are really laughing and crying.

…………

On the 22nd day of the 12th lunar month, the Tang army in Gansu began to gather and headed south along the Silk Road in snow, and returned home with a full load.

The mules, horses and vehicles carrying money, grain and supplies alone are more than 100,000,000, and tens of thousands of prisoners and slaves to help transport things. Even the more than 100,000 war horses they snatched will be used as temporary transportation capacity.

Gansu, which was rich due to the Silk Road, suddenly became poor. To be precise, most of the nobles and wealthy families in Gansu became poor.

Not only that, the Tang army also openly recruited young and strong men who were good at riding horses as cavalry seedlings. In less than a month in Gansu, they recruited 20,000 to 30,000 people, most of them Han people in the northwest.

These people would rather join the Tang army than stay in the Yuan dynasty and be oppressed.

Among them, slaves and farmers are all suffering.

In addition to them, tens of thousands of young and strong men took the initiative to follow the Tang army to return south and leave Gansu.

The Tang army entered Gansu at 80,000. When it was almost the Yellow River, the team expanded to 200,000.

It was not until this time that the main force of the Yuan army in Gansu arrived in Dunhuang. It was not until the Tang army crossed the Yellow River that the Yuan army felt the wine.

Where is it still time?

Li Luo ordered the deployment of 30,000 troops on the south bank of the Yellow River to defend the Yuan army from going south, and at the same time, adding cannons to Gaolan Mountain. If the Yuan army crossed the river, it would fire artillery and bombard the river surface to break the ice, causing the Yuan army to sink into the Yellow River.

Then, Li Luo personally led a large group of troops to continue to move south and stationed in Dingxi.

At this point, the military operation to conscript Gansu ended.

At night, Lord Tang checked the list of supplies under the lamp, and was so happy.

The Longyou Strategy and the Gansu Strategy, the Tang army obtained more than 3 million stones of grain, more than 5 million taels of silver, more than 400,000 taels of gold, 120,000 war horses, 70,000 cattle, 130,000 mules and horses, and jewelry, etc., which are difficult to estimate.

It can be said that it is enough to offset the money and food for the construction of Chang'an City and the Imperial Palace!

Not only that, the Tang army also obtained more than 60,000 prisoners and slaves, and recruited 50,000 to 60,000 cavalry seedlings.

It also captured more than 20 prefectures and counties in Longyou, increased its population by 1.2 million, and expanded its territory by hundreds of miles.

This battle is so cost-effective.

Li Luo put down a thick stack of lists. Before he calmed down his excitement, Yang Ju's voice came from outside: "Report to Your Majesty, Liu Weitai is back and is waiting for the order outside."

Liu Weitai!

Li Luo looked happy and immediately said, "Tell him to come in!"

"promise!"

Soon, Liu Weitai, covered in snowflakes, came in with a cold air. As soon as the man came in, he crawled on the ground and bowed to him: "My minister Liu Weitai, pay homage to Your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live!"

"Get up." Li Luo said lightly, "How did you arrive in Dingxi in this snowy and ice?"

Liu Weitai took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I am here to apologize. I acted rashly and felt uneasy. I came to ask Your Majesty to punish you."

"Oh?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows, "What are you wrong?"

Liu Weitai kowtowed and said, "When I heard that there was a treasure buried in Guyuan, I ignored military affairs and led the soldiers to dig the treasure without authorization. This is my fault and I ask Your Majesty to punish you."

"Forget it. Get up. You are guilty and meritorious, I know in my heart." Li Luo said.

Liu Weitai thanked him, carefully took out a few lists and presented them respectfully, "Your Majesty, please check it out, this is the treasure list."

Li Luo took the order, and the man only glanced at him for a few times and became excited.

I've sent it! I've really grown up!

Li Luo put down the list with a calm expression, "Okay, I understand. You go down and wait for my will."

"No!" Liu Weitai took the order and retreated and left.

When Liu Weitai left, Li Luo picked up the list again, his eyes lit up...
Chapter completed!
