Chapter 630 Peng Yuan's Countermeasures
In the past, he was full of awesomeness and raised the first festival of war.
The heart is bright and the sun is bright, and the ambition is clean with the autumn frost.
The front was moved and the lightning rose, and the battle was broken.
The camp is broken and the stars sink, and the array is rolling and the clouds are broken.
——Excerpt from "Jing Poverty Xue Ju Battlefield" Li Shimin
...
Early the next morning, Li Guangbi presided over the military meeting.
The meeting was extremely confidential. Li Guangbi's generals Murong Yi and Zhang Fengzhang only invited a few senior generals from Anxi Beiting Camp to attend.
In order to completely quell Shi Siming's rebellion, Li Guangbi submitted a report to His Majesty, requesting the restart of the plan of Li Mi, the white-clothed prime minister, Peng Yuan:
The deputy marshal of the world's military and horses, and the Shuofang Jiedushi Li Guangbi, was in charge of Heyang, and was in charge of Hedong Jiedushi Wang Sili, who was in charge of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the Hexi Jiedushi who was in charge of Xiangyang, echoed each other from the three routes north and south.
Wei Boyu, the governor of Zhenxi, the army of Zhenying, Li Zhongchen, the commander of Shaanxi and Shence Army, was stationed in Shaanxi, and Li Fei Yuanli, the governor of Huaizhou and the governor of Beiting, was stationed in Huaizhou. Three tiger generals took turns to attack, forming a narrow war zone on Henan Road.
The Yan army rescued the head, the Tang army attacked the tail, and the Yan army rescued the tail, and the Tang army attacked the head, leaving the Yan army exhausted for thousands of miles.
The Tang army waited for labor with freedom. When the enemy arrived, they avoided their attacks. When the enemy left, they took advantage of their disadvantages. They did not attack the Yan army's cities and did not cut off their paths.
By the spring of the following year, Bai Fu was appointed as the governor of Fanyang, attacked from the northwest border, and attacked northeastward along the northwest border. He went from Guichuan County (now Huailai County, Hebei Province), Miyun County (now BJ Miyun District), and southward to Fanyang County (now BJ City), and formed a force of attacking north and south with Li Guangbi's Shuofang Army, directly attacking Fanyang and covering its nest.
The Yan army had no way to retreat and had no home to go back. They stood firm and had no way to rest on their own. At that time, they ordered the Hedong Jiedushi Wang Sili and the Hexi Jiedushi Lai Wang to lead the army of guarding the king from all sides to encircle him. Shi Siming would definitely surrender!
At this point, the rebels can be completely eradicated!
After hearing this, the generals were extremely happy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve success.
Bai Fu pondered for a moment and said, "If the general transferred the Lone Eagle Squad from the Scout Camp of the Shuofang Army to me, we can further plan this battle."
Li Guangbi smiled and said, "I knew you were thinking about the Lone Eagle Scout. I brought them all, just in the personal soldiers. Tell me, tell me your plans."
Bai Fu was overjoyed and bowed to Li Guangbi.
Bai Fu pointed to the map and said, "In this battle, I can lead five thousand elite cavalry in Anxi Beiting from Yanmen Pass to go out of the frontier, detour to Fanyang North, and head south to attack Youzhou.
The Lone Eagle Scout can be a guide, bringing 10,000 infantry "King Kong" across the Wild Man Valley and stationed in Eagle Fort. Once our army goes south to attack Youzhou, Shi Siming will inevitably order the rebel general Linghu Zhangjun to lead his army from Liyang (Jun County, HEN Province) to rescue.
At that time, the infantry "King Kong" can surround the points to attack reinforcements, break out from Eagle Fort, and together with the Hebei rebels led by Hu Yizhai, cut off the Linghu Zhangjun in half.
After the extermination of Linghu Zhang's army, the infantry "King Kong" could quickly go north and join our army to encircle Youzhou."
Li Guangbi smiled and said, "So, there are still 5,000 troops left in the Anxi Beiting Camp. What are you going to make arrangements?"
Bai Fu said: "The remaining five thousand men are infantry who are proficient in the Wuhou Bagua Formation. When the large formation is launched, it can strangle the enemy ten times more. It is the nemesis of Shi Siming's Fan Yang Iron Cavalry.
If the general does not dislike him, I plan to repay him and let the troops follow the general and guard Heyang."
Li Guangbi laughed and said, "What a 'rewarding favor'! How can I refuse such an elite army?
After you return from Fan Yang’s triumphant return, I will return this iron army to you.”
The generals followed this strategy and carefully planned it in the big tent. Three days later, the deployment was completed. Li Guangbi led his army back to Heyang.
Before leaving, Li Guangbi took off his sword and handed it to Bai Fu's hand, and said earnestly: "This sword is the sword of King Goujian of Yue.
This sword has been with me for many years, not because it is extremely sharp, but because the words on the sword remind me to remember it all the time.
Today, I will give it to you, wishing you a victory in this Northern Expedition and live up to the glory of the Tang soldiers."
In the sun, Bai Fu realized that Li Guangbi's temples were gray and his weathered face had a few more wrinkles.
After the farewell ceremony, Li Guangbi laughed loudly, beat a horse and whipped it, and left in the dust.
Bai Fu pulled out his sword, the blade was clear and cold, the sword body was simple and colorful, and two lines of ancient seal carved: "With the light, the movement will cause injuries, which is a weapon; if hidden deep and clumsy, it will depend on the opportunity, which is a weapon."
Bai Fu was moved in his heart and looked at Li Guangbi's back as he was gradually moving away, full of confidence and ambitiousness.
...
After Li Guangbi left, Bai Fuli prepared his troops and prepared for the military operation in the beginning of spring.
Li Guangbi left a batch of military newspapers for Bai Fu to read. Several of them attracted Bai Fu's attention:
First, on August 12, Xiangzhou generals Kang Chuyuan and Zhang Jiayan gathered troops to raise an army and occupied the city of the prefecture. Governor Wang Zheng fled to Jingzhou (Jiangling County, HUB Province). Kang Chuyuan claimed to be the king of Southern Chu.
On August 25, Li Heng sent eunuch General Cao Risheng to Xiangzhou to persuade Kang Chuyuan and demoted governor Wang Zheng to the Secretary-General of the Government of Raozhou (Poyang County, JX Province). He ordered Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry (Sinong Shaoqing) Zhang Guangqi to become the governor of Xiangzhou (XY City, HUB Province). Kang Chuyuan did not accept it. (From the central government demoted Wang Zheng, it can be seen that this is another unjust and cruel official forced the people to rebel. The official history often does not describe it, so the truth is often overwhelmed.)
The leader of the rebels in Xiangzhou, Kang Chuyuan, who claimed to be the king of Southern Chu, had more than 10,000 troops. The governor of Shangzhou (Shangzhou District, SL City, Shaanxi Province), and the director of material regulation in Jing (Jiangling County, HUB Province) and Xiang (XY City, HUB Province) and other regions (Jingxiang and other entrusted) Weilun went out to attack and camped in Dengzhou, calling on them to surrender and appease them generously. When they were on guard, they launched an attack and captured Kang Chuyuan alive, all their troops were dispersed; they recovered the robbed land rent and tax of 2 million yuan. Jingzhou and Xiangzhou were all restored. Weilun was Wei Jiansu's cousin (Wei Jiansu, refer to August 19754)
On December 13, Weilun escorted Kang Chuyuan to the capital and beheaded.
Second, Prime Minister Di Wuqi casts "Qianyuan coins" and "double-wheeled edge coins" and uses three types of coins at the same time as "Kaiyuan coins". The people scramble to steal the stolen castings, inflation, prices soar, grain prices remain high, and refugees starve to death in large numbers.
Many court officials submitted memorials to the emperor, requesting that Di Wuqi be investigated for his crimes.
On November 7, Your Majesty demoted Di Wuqi to the Chief Secretary of the Prefecture of Zhongzhou. Di Wuqi was originally a subordinate of Helan Jinming. The Censor Helan Jinming was accused of forming a clique with Di Wuqi and demoted to Sima, a member of Qinzhou.
When Wu Qi casts "Qianyuan Coins" and "double-wheeled edge coins", Bai Fu predicts today's situation. Thinking of his unemployed work in the Ministry of Revenue, his position is low and his words are weak and he is powerless to stop him, Bai Fu sighs regretfully.
Helan Jinming and Bai Fu have a deep feud.
When Suiyang was surrounded, Bai Fu followed Nan Jiyun to Linhuai and borrowed troops from Helan Jinming for help. Helan Jinming sat down and refused to rescue him.
When leaving Linhuai, Nan Jiyun drew out an arrow and shot it at the high pagoda of the Buddhist temple near the city gate, vowing to destroy Helan Jinming.
Now, Brother Nan Jiyun and Prefect Zhang Xun have passed away, and the great revenge has not been repaid. But Bai Fu has always kept this in his heart.
Bai Fu prayed secretly: "Helan Jinming, don't die too early. When I wipe out the rebels, I will take off your heart and liver with my own hands to avenge my brothers and comfort their spirits in heaven!"
