Chapter 552: Xu Shiji, who is temporarily committed to the thief
It can be said that what has happened this year has been a great ups and downs, and it is full of excitement. Anyway, I am a steadfast in Guanzhong and looking at the Central Plains, so I naturally feel like watching the show. The heroes of the Central Plains are also very clear that my current power has made them begin to worry. It is clear that if I have the benefits of Guanzhong, I will not take action. Once I take action, I am afraid that the world will fall into my pocket.
Therefore, now, Liu Wuzhou and Liang troops are already under the support of the Turks, joining forces to eye Li Yuan, while Dou Jiande is encroaching on the surrounding territory, and even establishing the capital of Leshou and establishing the country as Xia. Zhengying looks around and intends to expand again. Luo Yi is occupying Youzhou and Yingzhou, and settles in a corner. Gao Kaidao is in charge of Yuyang. Later, he kills the monk Gao Tansheng and takes his territory, and his momentum is growing. In the south, Wang Shichong can now be regarded as having a happy spring breeze.
Outside, he not only defeated, but also defeated the most powerful opponent in the past, Li Mi, occupied Li Mi's territory and accepted his army. Inside, after launching a mutiny, he not only killed all the opponents, but also put Yang Tong under house arrest. Although Du Fuwei refused to submit to Wang Shichong, he knew that he was not the opponent of Wang Shichong, who was in power. So he submitted a statement to respect the puppet emperor Yang Tong, who supported Wang Shichong in the eastern capital Luoyang. Dong appointed Du Fuwei as the King of Chu and was appointed as the chief general of the Dongdao. Shen Faxing, who owned more than ten counties in Jiangnan and claimed to be the chief general of Jiangnan Road, also submitted a statement to Dongdu, proclaiming himself the Grand Sima, and recorded the Shangshu, and Duke Tianmen.
Although these powerful men listened to the tutors and did not listen to the Xuan, Wang Shichong had at least a righteous person. In addition, he defeated his former rival, Li Mi, and was completely the uncrowned king of Henan. He was very powerful.
In the south of the Yangtze River, Du Fuwei occupied Liyang, Li Zitong occupied Hailing, and Shen Faxing occupied Piling, all three major forces were eyeing Jiangdu. The territory that Xiao Xian occupied now can be regarded as the third largest among the heroes of the Sui Dynasty.
The sphere of influence is located in Jiujiang in the east, Sanxia in the west, Jiaozhi in the south (Hanoi, Vietnam), and Hanshui in the north. It has stationed 400,000 troops, but this guy is not interested in making progress. In recent years, he has been in charge of the country, but he has never thought of expanding his sphere of influence except for gnawing some small territory around him.
Lin Shihong occupied Jiujiang, Linchuan, Luling, Nankang, Yichun and other counties. Although he was defeated by Xiao Xian and lost Yuzhang, there were still several states such as Nanchang, Qianzhou, Xunzhou, Chaozhou and other states. Later, Feng Ann, the prefect of Hanyang, was resentful of Xiao Xian and led Cangwu, Gaoliang, Zhuya, Panyu and other places to join Lin Shiyou, which made him revitalize his strength. Although his current situation is weaker than Xiao Xian, it is not much weaker.
And they squatted with Xiao Xian and stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Now, spring has arrived and the winter snow has ended. Although the weather is still cold, the temperature is above zero and it no longer freezes and is no longer frozen. Therefore, the cement straight road to Qipan Pass is working overtime and is being started rapidly. Based on the distance of less than a hundred miles left, in mid-March, the cement straight road from Chang'an to Qipan Pass can be fully connected.
In addition, a large number of spies sent to the Central Committee of Shu are being widely distributed in Shu, and are bribing and persuading officials from various places in Shu to facilitate the management of Shu in the future. By the end of March and early April, tens of thousands of troops of the China Revival Army will follow this wide and smooth cement straight road, take the chess and pave the way to Guangyuan, and aim directly at Shu in the front of the army, with the soldiers directly aiming at Shu
Now, it is in the silent period, or the sedimentation period, and there is also a message that makes me speechless. Just the day before yesterday, the warrior who was about to be crazy sent me a big gift. I am very curious about this guy's inexplicable behavior.
After asking, I found out that this guy had been pregnant less than two months after he got married. Damn, my friends and old friends expressed surprise and blessings for the combat effectiveness of the Yang family who was in their early forties.
I am really curious. I really don’t know whether to give birth to a boy or a girl when Yang will give birth to a boy or a girl. My greatest hope is naturally to hope that Yang can continue to give birth to three beautiful and intelligent girls. I also hope that the second child is Wu Zetian from another historical time and space. I really want to see what this first female emperor in history who successfully ascended the throne and has been governing the country for decades looks like.
Just a few days ago, he received another letter from Liu Hongji, and Xu Shiji joined the line with him. The two gradually became close friends. In the end, Xu Shiji followed Liu Hongji's persuasion and temporarily committed himself to Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong was very happy. After all, Xu Shiji was the first wise general of the Wagang Army. He led the army to fight in the east and west, had great military achievements and few defeats.
Wang Shichong attacked the Wagang army many times, but Xu Shiji refused to fight several times, and defeated Wang Shichong several times on both sides of the Luoshui River several times, which made Wang Shichong deeply afraid. If it weren't for being hated by Li Mi's mistakes before, Li Mi gradually became distant and no longer listened to his advice, the Wagang army underestimated the enemy and was defeated, otherwise Wang Shichong would not have been able to defeat the Wagang army, seize its territory, and follow its territory.
Now that he has this good general, how could Wang Shichong not be happy? Not only did he entrust him to become the General of Zuo Sui, he commanded a portion of the old soldiers of Wagang to appease the soldiers of Wagang, but he also married his brother's daughter to Xu Shiji to show his importance.
In addition, I finally got news from Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun. At the end of Daye, his father, Xue Renxiong, the General of the Sui Zuo Guard, was appointed as the prefect of Zhuo County. The two brothers served under his father's command. In the 13th year of Daye, Xue Renxiong was defeated by Dou Jiande in the Battle of Hejian. He was ashamed of illness and died soon after.
Xue Wanche and his brother Xue Wanjun originally wanted to support the coffin and return to Luoyang, but the world was in chaos and the road was cut off. In desperation, they could only seek refuge with Luo Yi, the governor of Zhuo County who had always been quite fond of their brothers.
Just at the end of November last year, Dou Jiande conquered Jizhou (Zhendu, now Ji County, Hebei), and his reputation was great. In December, Dou Jiande led another 100,000 troops to attack Youzhou. When Luo Yi was about to attack and fight, Xue Wanjun suggested that the leader was the number of major generals in Zhuo County. If he went out of the city to fight, he would definitely be defeated no matter how he fought. He should win it by way of strategy, so that he would have hope of victory.
In the end, Luo Yi followed his strategy and ordered the old, weak and remnants of the army to block the water and back the city to lure them. Xue Wanche and Xue Wan both led the elite cavalry to lie on the side of the city, preparing for air strikes.
At the beginning of the battle, Dou Jiande was indeed trapped and led his troops to cross the water. At halfway through, Xue Wanche and his brothers led five hundred elite cavalry to appear quietly and attack Dou Jiande's unprepared central army, which made Dou Jiande's Xia army unable to take into account both the front and tail and was defeated.
This battle made Dou Jiande very dirty and his morale slightly weakened. However, it also caused Luo Yi's popularity to rise. After capturing Yingzhou, he had Youzhou and Yingzhou and became a major separatist force.
These news were naturally sent by intelligence personnel who had already connected with Brother Xue Wanche. Since the arrival, the two brothers had brought the information to the intelligence personnel. If this young master came out of Guanzhong, they would be willing to persuade Luo Yi, Ling You and Ying to surrender to me.
I was very moved by the fact that these two brothers were able to say this. After all, I am far away in Guanzhong, and their brothers are far away in the camp, with several warlords separated by the middle. Therefore, even if I have the will, I can't join you. I will wait until the future.
Anyway, I believe in my strength. When I take down Shu, defeat Xiao Xian and Lin Shihong, and have a land in Jiangnan. Then, based on population and territory alone, the world will no longer have an equal enemy. At that time, sending troops to Guanzhong will be equivalent to announcing to the heroes of the world that I will pacify the world.
Li Jing and others also knew very well that if our Chinese Revival Army came out of Guanzhong, we would be hostile from all sides, and even let the heroes of the Central Plains unite to deal with the Chinese Revival Army. There is no way, who can make our strongest?
Therefore, these civil officials and generals all supported each other strongly, regardless of the heroes of the Central Plains in Guanzhong and abroad, but went to Shu, took the vast southwest land and Jiangnan, and then attacked northward. A large encirclement was formed. As the saying goes, you can attack and retreat and defend, and you will be able to stand invincible.
Although it was a big battle to fight Hexi and take Western Qin before, it was only a clearing of the corners and could not attract the attention of the heroes of the Central Plains. If we attacked Bashu, it would definitely attract the attention of the heroes of the Central Plains and Jiangnan. At that time, it would not be as relaxed as it is now.
According to Li Shimin's letter, although Li Yuan's life is somewhat difficult now, since Li Mi arrived, the 50,000 Wagang Army was indeed elite. Li Yuan entrusts him to take important tasks and serve as the general manager of Diaoyin. He ordered him to command his troops and attack Diaoyin County to prevent the increasingly fierce offensive of the Liang army.
Li Mi received the order and set out from Shangdang County. After the army arrived in Jiexiu, Hexi County, he began to wander around the day and night. Fifteen days later, he suddenly appeared on Fulu Mountain and defeated the Liang army stationed in Fulu Mountain. He took advantage of the situation to attack and seize Lishi City, the capital of Lishi County.
Immediately afterwards, he took Pingyi and cultivated the two counties, and controlled most of Lishi County under its power. The Liang army was furious and commanded 50,000 elite troops and 5,000 Hu cavalry to Dinghu, fighting with Li Mi, and the victory and defeat were difficult to distinguish.
Liu Wuzhou was invited by Liang Shidu to send troops to Zhoushan to restrain Li Shentong's troops. Li Shimin led his troops south to Shangdang County, blocking Wang Shichong who was trying to advance north. Li Shimin had already begun to show his talents. In Shangdang County, he led only 30,000 troops, but blocked Wang Shichong's 70,000 troops tightly at Yangtou Mountain.
Then, Li Shimin led a thousand elite cavalry and sneaked to the rear of Wang Shichong's army. After Tianming Wang Shichong's army launched an attack on Yangtou Mountain, the elite cavalry, under the leadership of Li Shimin, killed Wang Shichong's rear formation and destroyed his camp.
Wang Shichong was defeated and lost his troops and generals. He had to withdraw from Shangdang County, but was chased by Li Shimin, but he failed to steal the chicken. He lost a handful of rice and almost lost the company Changping County.
In desperation, Wang Shichong had no choice but to order to defend the north of Changping County to prevent Li Shimin from invading south. As for another general of the old Li family, Li Xiaogong, led 20,000 troops to station in Jingxing, and strictly prevent Dou Jiande.
Li Yuan, who claimed to be the King of Tang, naturally took charge of the overall situation in Jinyang, while Prince Li Jiancheng walked around on behalf of Li Yuan to appease the people and calm the hearts of the people.
