Chapter 659 It is good to have a bunch of old yin goods around
Chapter 659
Leshou City, which was the former Jincheng Palace of the Great Xia Kingdom, has been changed back to its original name, Leshou County City, Hejian County.
On the dilapidated city walls surrounding the county town, civilians who are constantly coming and going are repairing the previously destroyed city walls. As for the surrendered army, they are still being reorganized and the work of selecting the best and eliminating the weak is underway.
Although Wang Fubao and a group of Xia surrender officials heard that Yang Qian was preparing to send troops to Shanxi to assist the counties in northwestern Shanxi, they volunteered to lead Hebei Jian'er as the vanguard of the Suppression and Fu army.
Yang Qian knew that these surrenders were worried that the Zhenfu Army would abandon them, so he wanted to show off.
He did not agree to the request of Wang Fubao and others, but he still made a compromise. He selected several generals of the Xia State, and collected 5,000 horses from the Xia State soldiers and horses who had returned from various places, and handed them over to Wang Fubao.
Commander, let's go to Shanxi together.
This not only made Wang Fubao and other Xia ministers less willing to surrender, but also expressed the Zhenfu army's willingness to treat Hebei's elders, soldiers and civilians well, and its unwillingness to let Hebei's children block the guns.
This approach not only relieved the civil and military forces of the Xia Kingdom, including Wang Fubao, Liu Bin, and others who had surrendered, but also made the people in the counties and counties of Hebei feel extremely grateful to the Fu army after hearing the news.
The entire Xia Kingdom has nearly half a million soldiers and horses, but now that the Zhenfu Army is in charge of Hebei's military affairs, there is naturally no need to retain too many troops.
Moreover, the land of Hebei has been in chaos for a long time, and it is time to rest and recuperate. Those young men who have left the army and received severance pay can return to their homes, work hard in production and life, marry wives and have children.
Remove the branches and leaves.
After repeated communication and exchanges with a group of surrendered generals, as well as sending people to conduct overt and covert inspections in the military camp, among the soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom, the number of those who were finally selected to stay in the army would not exceed 80,000.
While Yang Qian was arranging his troops and horses, he also had to appease the soldiers and civilians in Hebei, and he was also very busy.
This night, it was busy again when the lanterns came on, and Yang Qian found some time to have dinner. However, even at this time, there were still a group of close ministers accompanying him while dining, discussing what had not been dealt with, but what Yang Qian needed to do
Come up with a rough idea.
At this moment, the soldiers rushed in quickly, with a look of surprise and joy on their faces. "My lord, General Han is here, and he has also brought the envoy sent by the Youzhou Army to surrender."
"..." Yang Qian, who had just picked up the sixth or seventh bowl of rice, was a little confused. "Luo Yi escaped?"
"No, the surrender envoy is Luo Shou, the brother of Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, who came with the general."
Changsun Wuji slapped the table with his fat hands, stood up with joy, and saluted Yang Qian.
"I didn't expect that when Hebei was first settled, the land of Youyan would also fall into the hands of our army. I congratulate my lord and congratulate you."

Luo Shou looked at the young man in front of him. He looked like he was in his early twenties at most. At the age of fifteen, he became famous in the world. Later, he was favored by Yang Guangqing, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. In addition, the Yang family and his son were in charge of the court.
Ting Jian made great achievements, so that in just a few years, he, Yang Qian, became a powerful official in control of more than ten counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
After that, step by step, we have reached today, when the general trend of the world has almost reached its final stage, Yang Qian, the leader of the Suppressing and Fu Army with hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers in the world, is already far away from the position that he took over from the Sui Dynasty.
I'm afraid it's just two steps away.
The reason why it is said to be two steps and one step is naturally because what he needs to face now is Shibi Khan, the grassland overlord who has hundreds of thousands of people controlling the Central Plains.
The other step is that even if he defeats the grassland overlord, he will still have to face many remaining powerful ones in the end.
If he could defeat the grassland overlord Shibi Khan heartily and neatly, his reputation as King of the Tang Dynasty would surely flourish in the world. Then, the world's powerful people would probably not have much desire to compete with him.
But if he were defeated by Shibi Khan, those powerful men from the Central Plains would most likely turn into vicious wolves and pounce on the defeated tiger fiercely.
"The guilty minister Luo Shou, by order of my brother, has come here to ask for His Majesty's surrender..." Luo Shou, who looked extremely complicated, took a step forward, calmed down his confused thoughts, and bowed respectfully.
"It doesn't have to be like this. General Luo and Xian Kunzhong are able to understand the general trend and understand the general situation, and make such difficult decisions to save the lives of millions of people in Youyan Land. It really makes Yang admire him." Yang Qian strode towards him.
After that, he personally helped Luo Shou with a sigh of relief on his face.
"If all the powerful men in the world could be like your brothers, the world would not have to worry about uncertainty, and all the people would no longer suffer from war, and we, China, would be one..."
Yang Qian made his attitude clear and did not mention the previous incident of Luo Yi leading the army to aid Dou Jiande. He mainly focused on praising the noble sentiments of brothers Luo Yi and Luo Shou, which also made Luo Shou secretly sigh with relief.
It seems that even if his brother's surrender is not a gift in time, it is still better than the icing on the cake.
Yang Qian didn't mention it, which showed his magnanimity, but if Luo Shou also thinks that the matter will be revealed like this, what will you think of the civil and military officers of Zhenfu Army?
Therefore, His Highness the King of Tang did not mention it, but he, Luo Shou, did not dare not to mention it. He explained the previous alliance with Dou Jiande with fear and fear. Of course, Manager Luo was also a victim of Dou Jiande's deception.
"Although my brother was confused by the thief Dou Jiande, he eventually launched a war against the Zhenfu army. For such a serious crime, I still ask the king of Tang to punish him and clarify the canonical punishment..."
Luo Shou was so sincere, Yang Qian narrowed his eyes, and after thinking about it for a while, he had an idea.
The first step, of course, is to punish him, except for self-proclaimed officials like the General Manager of Youzhou. However, since he led his army to surrender, Yang Qian was not stingy with the reward, and he was awarded the title of General Jinwuwei.
As for the land of Youyan, naturally Luo Yi cannot continue to be in charge of military and political affairs.
After Yu Shiji, an old driver, stroked his beard for a long time, he put forward a suggestion with a smile.
"My lord, since my lord has previously allowed General Wang Fubao and others to lead the elite soldiers of the Xia Kingdom to accompany the army to the north for reinforcements, now is General Luo..."
Luo Shou turned his head in confusion and looked at Yu Shiji, the resourceful old swindler. He soon came to his senses and realized that Yang Qian, His Royal Highness the Prince of Tang, was about to help Shanxi from the north.
Wang Fubao and Qian Xia surrendered and led their troops to accompany them on the expedition. So, since Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, has surrendered to the Zhenfu Army, he should not continue to huddle in Youzhou and watch the Zhenfu Army and the grassland overlord Shibi Khan.
dispute.
"With the look on General Luo's face, could it be that General Luo sent troops to help the lord? Is there any difficulty?" Li Yuan's voice sounded faintly in Luo Shou's ears.
Luo Shou's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed to Yang Qian, with a look of joy on his face. "This kind of honor is something our brothers can only dream of."
"I knew Xian Kunzhong was the pillar of the country, hahaha..." Yang Qian laughed, it was good to have a bunch of old swindlers around him, one deceived and the other frightened, it really played a big role.
