(Ask for monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
Li Po was pressed for time.
In fact, according to his timetable, by capturing Yuci, Pingyao, Jiexiu and other places this time, Taiyuan County and Xihe County will be turned upside down first. Then, if the Tang army reacts quickly, they can still fight a battle.
.
Finally, we must lead the army northward in early July.
As a result, the soldiers who followed him south would be very tired and would have to rest during the march.
Fighting with the Turks on the grasslands is no joke. Therefore, he decided on a very conservative strategy for heading north, and did not want to engage in too frequent fighting battles with the Turks.
But now, as soon as Jinyang arrives, the situation changes drastically.
Before Li Po led his army into Jinyang City, he had already ordered people to summon Chen Xiaoyi to Jinyang and ordered Su Dan to return to the building. Buqun led his troops directly to Mayi and sent a message to Li Bi, asking her to take charge of Yanmen.
.
Later, Wen Yanbo and Chen Xiaoyi were ordered to come to Jinyang together.
As for Yuchi Gong and others, he immediately ordered them to return to Mayi and make all preparations for the expedition to the grassland.
On the second day after entering Jinyang City, he issued another military order, ordering the three counties of Daizhou to recruit 6,000 troops to garrison in Jinyang.
There is no need to discuss these matters with others. Jinyang City is occupied, and changes in personnel are inevitable.
As soon as Chen Xiaoyi arrived, he was promoted to the governor of Taiyuan County, and Wen Yanbo also served as the order of Jinyang.
Not two days later, when Li Po wanted to have a good talk with the Jinyang people, Yu Wenxin had already given him a generous gift.
Yuci guard general Yu Wenwo killed the Yuci county magistrate and others, and led his army to surrender.
After so many years, it was the first time for Li Po to enjoy the pleasure of others surrendering.
At this time, his identity finally played a certain role.
In the past, many people said that he was from a humble background and was rich because of his wife's family. Now, with the fierce military front, there is no need to mention the hostile people, but some people who are looking around will think of it.
This person can be regarded as a member of the Kansai Valve, and he has his own family in Yunnei. Well, to put it simply, although his family background is not very eye-catching, he does have a family background.
Don't underestimate this. This is not an age where you can convince others by claiming the throne. You have to have a solid foundation, and then you and others can contribute to your success in order to be recognized by others.
Yuwen Huo was a younger brother of Yuwen Xin's clan. He was persuaded by Yuwen Xin's letters and the Daizhou army was pressing down on the territory, so he surrendered to Li Po. However, there must be some clannishness involved.
Being a member of the Kansai Valve family naturally made him feel close to him as he was born in the Yuwen family.
If Li Po was just like Liu Wuzhou, who came from a wealthy family in Shandong, had some connections with the common people, and could not touch the threshold of the family, then everything might be different.
It is very likely that the two Yuwen brothers will turn around and run away.
Immediately after Yuwen Huo surrendered, Li Po ordered him to remain stationed in Yuci, and sent him 2,000 Jinyang garrison troops. This was the nearest gateway to the south of Jinyang, so we should pay more attention to it.
Naturally, Li Po was not at ease with appointing a surrendered general like this, but the current situation was that he had to appease the people of Jinyang, and after he went north, his troops would be very tight, and his trusted people could not be scattered to guard the key passes.
In fact, he is also waiting for Yanmen's Youzhou Army to form an army. If these surrender troops are in Jin, he will not worry too much about betrayal.
Because their wives, children, old and young, all live in peace in Daizhou.
The Wang family of Jinyang followed a little tighter this time, and the noise they made was much greater than that of Yu Wenxin, an outsider.
The evil consequences Li Yuanji had planted suddenly burst out at this moment.
During the civil strife in Pingyao, Wang Xi, the former Pingyao County captain who resigned and returned home, took advantage of the opportunity when Pingyao's soldiers were demobilized by Li Yuanji. He used dozens of clan members to rush into the Pingyao County government office, killed the Pingyao county magistrate and others, and surrendered.
Jiexiu was in chaos, and the chaos was rapidly spreading to further places with the news of Wang's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty.
Even the Wang clan members who had no objections rebelled against the Tang Dynasty one after another due to the killings and suspicions of Tang troops everywhere. Some fled north with their families, some directly connected with their friends and relatives to incite civil unrest, and took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos.
He fled to the mountains and built a stronghold to defend himself.
In Xihe, Longquan, Linfen, Changping, and even the surrounding counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan County, chaos broke out one after another, leaving the Tang army overwhelmed.
The Wang family of Jinyang is indeed worthy of its reputation.
Of course, this is the Jinyang Wang family proving their strength to the new master. Likewise, they are also venting their hatred and anger.
It can be said that the Jinyang Wang family has been based in Jin for more than a thousand years and has gone through many changes, but there has rarely been such a decisive moment when the enemy was destroyed by one thousand and the enemy was hurt by eight hundred.
It can be said that this was the result of excessive oppression of the Wang family of Jinyang after Li Yuan and his son came to power in Jinyang.
Of course, the chaotic world also gave them such an opportunity.
The most important point is that the Wang family felt threatened. Daizhou's army went south, the suspicion of Li Yuan and his son, and Li Yuanji's unscrupulousness all made them feel fear.
Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Wang family has experienced some such times. There may have been injuries in the process, but they have always been able to cope with it and ultimately protected the family's safety.
But they have never experienced such a big scene as the war in the late Sui Dynasty.
The wealthy families in Shandong were wiped out, the wealthy families in Hebei were decimated, the big families in Henan were struggling, the families in Jiangnan were in mourning, and even the noble families in Guanxi were in danger.
This was a naked purge of powerful clans, and the wealthy families that are still standing today are all trembling with fear.
At such a time, what Li Yuanji did undoubtedly touched the most sensitive nerve of the Jinyang Wang family, which had already felt its foundation shaken.
In the Wang family's inner residence, a voice kept echoing at that moment, that the people of Guanxi were going to take action against the big families of Jin.
So, when the mighty Daizhou Army rose in the north, they finally saw this foreign surname that they had certainly dismissed in the past (A Cao Press, referring to the common people who married into the clan, was somewhat similar to Wang Shichong's title).
similar.).
That's why they trusted Li Po and respectfully welcomed Daizhou's army into Jinyang, and later showed their sincerity.
Li Po was quite shocked as he listened to the news coming from everywhere. At this time, for the first time, he truly felt the influence of the top wealthy families.
This is actually no different from how Yang Xuangan responded when he rebelled, and when Li Yuan went south to Chang'an and everyone joined him.
However, the Jinyang Wang family does not have outstanding talents at this time, but their background is also shockingly deep.
When the Wang family of Jinyang surrendered to Li Yuan, the war in Jin quickly subsided. When the main branch of the Wang family closed the gates of their houses, the people of the counties in Hedong were panicked. When they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, they could also cause chaos in the counties.
Beacons were everywhere.
Originally, Li Po was very dissatisfied with the Wang family of Jinyang, and even despised their snake-rattling behavior, so after entering Jinyang City, he didn't pay much attention to the Wang family members and behaved indifferently.
hot.
But now, he had to take a serious look at this thousand-year-old clan in Jin.
In comparison, the other descendant was much easier to deal with.
The Tang army probably won't come to recapture Jinyang this year, which is what Li Po is most gratified about at this time.
Feeling the passage of time slowly, he also felt anxious.
It was easy to capture the city of Jinyang, but it would take a lot of effort to make it your own.
Chen Xiaoyi hasn't arrived in Jinyang yet, so Li Po can only wait patiently.
Of course, he wasn't idle either, well, he couldn't be idle at all.
The most important thing is city defense.
Li Po first led his people around Jinyang, as if he was inspecting his newly acquired territory.
Accompanied by Yu Wenxin, Xue Wanche led people to protect him.
When he learned that this big man from Guanxi was the son of General Xue Shixiong, Yu Wenxin was surprised, but unlike those ignorant people, he just thought about it and understood.
General Xue Shixiong once stayed in Zhuo County, and his son naturally served in Youzhou. After Xue Shixiong died, Li Po sent troops to Youzhou to kill Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou. The Xue family was probably the one who surrendered to him at that time.
Already.
At this time, Yu Wenxin had turned a blind eye to Li Po's family background and his age.
This is a general who is as cunning as a fox, and he can drive Chen Xiaoyi's people to control the three counties of Daizhou, and there will be no shortage of means to govern the world.
Compared with Li Yuanji, this is a truly fearful hero in troubled times.
Accompanying Li Po, he walked around Jinyang City and gave Li Po pointers from time to time. He didn't quite understand Li Po's intentions, so he couldn't say anything.
Of course, taking this opportunity, he could take a closer look and even adapt to the other party's behavior. This process was very important, and he would not ignore it after having been an official for many years.
Li Po didn't give him much of this opportunity. He thought it was a way to relax when he came out for a walk. The heavy pressure on his shoulders made him a little anxious, so he chose to go out for a walk.
After inspecting the city defenses, we went to check out the granary.
Jinyang Dacang was originally built during the reign of Emperor Wen and is a product of the Dacang system.
The old warehouse is in the north of Jinyang City. Needless to say, its purpose is to prevent Turks.
In the sixth year of Daye, the Jinyang warehouse was moved to the east of the city. Obviously, this was rebuilt to facilitate the transportation of grain to Hebei. It was directly connected to the Chidao to Zhuojun. These were all products of the Daye period.
Is there a lot of grain in the warehouse in Jinyang?
It depends on how you look at it. You can compare it with Youzhou Okura.
The grain stored in Youzhou can feed the Youzhou army for ten or twenty years. If you want to feed the people of the area, you can also live on nothing for two or three years.
Jinyang Dacang is almost at this level, comparable to Youzhou's grain storage. This is the result of supply from Yongfengcang.
If Li Yuanji had not led his troops to Yanmen, and had not fought against the Turks in Jinyang, Li Po would not have known that it would have been a matter of the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Li Po looked up at the high granary and saw the officials and soldiers busy counting the grains, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
These are all things that can fill your stomach. In his opinion, this is one of the most cherished things in this chaotic world.
