Chapter seven hundred and eighty first old things (a)
When the previous dynasty was overthrown, Xiao Yiqing led his troops to flee north to the desert, and attached themselves to the Tuoyan clan. The Tuoyan clan was extremely wary of the Central Plains gentry. Someone in the clan suggested killing all the male gentry who fled north, leaving only the women and children. Xiao Yiqing and
After I discovered Tuoyan's intention, I fled and asked for help from the Wusu clan. At first, the clan king of the Wusu clan ignored our request for help, and even tied us up and wanted to return us to the Tuoyan clan. At that time, his eldest son, Wusu Dashi, took over.
On the way to escort us to the Tuoyan clan, Xiao Yiqing persuaded Wusu Dashi to assemble clan troops to raid the Tuoyan clan. In this battle, the Wusu clan not only annexed the Tuoyan clan and began their journey to rule the desert, Xiao Yiqing and the Wusu clan
Su Dashi and Su Dashi also became irreversible friends. The king of the country was old and dim, and it was Xiao Yiqing who persuaded Wu Su Dashi to specialize in the South Court to avoid suspicion and use the South Court to conquer the world. Wu Su Dashi also listened to Xiao's advice in everything.
Yi Qing, I often hold candles and talk at night, and sleep at night... Following the orders of Wu Su Dashi, I sneaked into Jin, founded Guanjiang Tower, and won over Wang Yuankui and others. It was also Xiao Yiqing's plan..."
In their early years, in addition to taking advantage of the conflict between Liang and Jin to seize the Yanyun states, the Mongols focused on conquering Liaodong for more than ten years until the sudden change in Heshuo. Even after the sudden change in Heshuo, the Mongolian cavalry shocked the world.
However, not many people know about the fact that Xiao Yiqing led the nobles who fled north to join Mengwu.
The desolate and cold desert has isolated the spread of information.
Xiao Yiqing died for Wusu Dashi and would rather die than surrender to Daliang. Wang Jingrong did not have the guts to do so. After Daliang soldiers and horses suddenly rushed into the remaining camp, he was captured without mercy and chose to become a prisoner of Daliang.
Kong Xirong, Li Xiu, and Han Donghu were all very interested in the affairs of the northern nobles who had defected to the Mengwu in their early years. They specially asked Wang Jingrong to be brought to the tent to listen to him talk about the past events, but they did not expect that Xiao Yiqing and
There are still so many old things between Wu Su and Dashi that have not been heard from the outside world.
The battle plan to lure and annihilate the main force of the Mongolian army in Zezhou was completely formed after the Battle of Fanchuan River. After Zezhou successfully annihilated the main force of the Mongolian army, the General Staff Office had already made preliminary arrangements and plans for the next war.
.
In addition to 100,000 old, weak, women and children, the Mongolian army will have 140,000 soldiers and horses either killed or captured, which can be said to mean that the main military force of the Mongol Southern Academy was completely destroyed.
At present, there are tens of thousands of defenders of the Mongolian Wu Nanyuan in Yanyun and Heshuo, but they are all second- and third-rate defenders. They are mainly Han troops and surrendered troops, and do not have much combat effectiveness; among them, Luzhou and Huguan
There are still 10,000 troops, but they cannot reach the north to block Taiyue's marching army.
In this battle, the Taiyue Marching Army took on the most difficult and dangerous task of intercepting the gate, and suffered heavy casualties. The follow-up combat mission was to recover Luzhou and Yizhou in the north, then repair on the spot until the late spring of next year, and then
Passing Jingxing, they sent troops into Heshuo and Dingzhou in the north of Heshuo, and launched a war to regain Heshuo.
When the time comes, the Taiyue Camping Army will be changed to the Heshuo Camping Army, and the Heshuo Province will also be established, and will continue to recover the territory north and south of Yanshan Mountain and Liaodong; at that time, Li Xiu will serve as the Deputy Envoy of Heshuo Economic and Strategy, and Heshuo Province will be established.
Shuo was in charge of the camp and army, but there was still discussion at this time about who would serve as the economic and strategic envoy of Heshuo.
At this time, Mengwu still has 20,000 garrison troops in Taiyuan Prefecture. Wen Bo will lead the Hedong Camp Army stationed in Pingyang Prefecture and go north along the Fen River to be responsible for annihilation. After Taiyuan is recovered, the capital of Hedong Province will be moved to Taiyuan.
, and continued to use troops to the north to recover the Xin, Yun, Shuo, and Wei states.
Subsequently, the Hedong Camping Army and the Yongzhou Camping Army led by Feng Xuan will also assume the important task of going deep into the desert to suppress the military forces of the Mongol North Academy.
The First and Second Central Bank Battalions successfully regained Shanxi this time.
After the military mission in the south, he will send his troops southward later in the year, and march with the troops in Hehuai to shoulder the military mission of regaining Hehuai.
Even though the forces of the Mongol Southern Academy suffered a devastating blow, the situation in the north and south of the Yanshan Mountains and in the depths of the desert is still quite complicated. Before continuing to send troops to the north, it is really necessary to deal with the situation of the nobles who fled north, the Han people of Yanyun and local forces.
Do further investigation and research.
Prisoners like Wang Jingrong naturally have to be used well.
This is also related to the subsequent rule of the Northland.
On the third day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Taihe, after receiving the good news, Han Qian's edict was passed to Gaoping City.
Han Qian asked Kong Xirong to transport the corpses of Wu Su Dashi, Xiao Yiqing, Xiao Siqing, Wu Su Zongbei and others to Luoyang in coffins for burial. Wang Jingrong, Na He Yanzhen and other captured war criminals were also taken to Luoyang for trial.
A total of 160,000 captured soldiers, Mongol women and children, Yanyun Han people, Jin and Heshuo were returned to the vassal army. They were all used as auxiliary troops and were controlled by the Taiyue Marching Army; the Taiyue Marching Army would also be officially changed to the Heshuo Army.
Shuo marched his army and rested in Luzhou for two months before sending troops into Ding and Hengzhou.
Considering that Heshuo's military forces had already suffered a heavy blow when Tian Weiye and his Chengde army were destroyed, this time even the few remaining elite combat forces were transferred to Wusu Dashi to fight in southern Shanxi. Han Qian instructed Li Xiu
, if the Heshuo problem can be solved by peaceful means, we should use peaceful means as much as possible.
The artillery unit will temporarily detach one battalion and organize it into the artillery battalion directly under the jurisdiction of the Heshuo Marching Camp Army.
The young and strong Mongol people among the captured soldiers were all organized into hard labor camps and controlled by the Second Central Military Battalion.
After a short rest, the Central Camp Army of the Second Central Committee headed south as soon as possible, preparing to cross the Yu River and join the March Camp Army in Henan to launch an attack on Zhu Rang and Liang Ren of Bianliang.
The First Central Bank's battalion suffered heavy casualties when entering Yangcheng and other places, so the main force first withdrew to Xingyang to rest and replenish.
Although the troops were expensive and fast, after the victory in southern Shanxi, even the Second Central Battalion with the least casualties planned to go south after spending the Shangyuan Festival.
Comparatively speaking, the Taiyue Marching Army suffered the heaviest casualties. Because the enemy troops in Luzhou and Yizhou fled without fighting, they needed to divide their troops to take over the defense of these two states. This festival was relatively busy.
As for the soldiers and horses fleeing north from Luzhou and Yizhou, the Taiyue Camping Army will not pay attention to them. In Han Donghu’s words, some enemy troops must be left for the Hedong (Jinzhou) Camping Army to destroy, and they cannot take all the military merits.
.
Sima De and Cao Zhe, however, were restless and urged Wen Ruilin to rush over to say goodbye to Kong Xirong, Li Xiu, Han Donghu and other generals. They wanted to end their viewing tour and rush to Luoyang to meet Han Qian.
"After the Shangyuan Festival, the Second Central Military Commission marched south to Mengzhou and will prepare for the war with the Henan Marching Army to recapture Bianliang. At that time, your Majesty may go to Mengzhou or Xingyang to meet with the generals - you have passed the Shangyuan Festival
On Yuanjie, come with us directly to Taihangxing and go south." Han Donghu invited them to go with him.
Cao Zhe was fine, but Sima De wanted to fly to Luoyang to say goodbye, and then rushed back to Xuzhou immediately to persuade his uncle Sima Tan not to hesitate for a moment.
At this time, the land of Xu and Si was surrendered to Daliang, and troops were raised to march with the Henan Army. The Second Central Bank Army jointly launched a war to regain the Hehuai River. In the end, the Sima family might still be able to get some leftover juice.
If the Liang army captured Bianliang, how much would it be worth if the Sima family raised Xu Si to vote for Daliang?
It would be polite not to hold Sima accountable for his capricious behavior over the years.
Thinking like this, Sima De never thought for a moment that Gaoping of Zezhou was stranded, and he wished he could immediately drag Wen Ruilin, Cao Zhe and others to rush to Luoyang; the two envoys beside Sima De were both close followers of his uncle Sima Tan.
, their opinions at this time are also the same.
Even though some time had passed, the tragic scene of the Mongolian army being compressed in the valley and being bombarded still reappeared repeatedly in their minds, and they would even wake up from their dreams at night.
Of course, Cao Zhe hoped to return to Shu as soon as possible, but his mood was extremely complicated.
Sima Tan sent Sima De secretly to Luoyang, which almost set the tone for surrender. Before, it was just that the price of surrender had not been negotiated. Sima De told the truth about the war in southern Shanxi. Cao Zhe believed that the Sima family would not have another chance.
There is much hesitation, but the situation in Shu is much more complicated.
If the Sima family returns to Daliang, they can continue to gain wealth.
And all the generals and officials of Great Shu can surrender to Liang, but how will the leader of the country, Wang Yong, deal with it?
Even if the king of the country Wang Yong finally surrenders and surrenders to Liang, will Luoyang give him a decent settlement and not persecute him?
The Cao family and his son have served the king Yong loyally for so many years, and it can be said that they have been favored by the king Yong. How should they deal with it? Should they happily join others in coercing the king to surrender, or should they do something
Struggle in vain and die for the last act of loyalty?
…………
…………
Be it Kong Xirong, Han Donghu, or Li Xiu, they were among the famous generals in their time, but they all experienced ups and downs in their lives.
If the problems in Hehuai and other places can be solved quickly, with less casualties, or even by peaceful means, they will try their best to fight for it instead of causing unnecessary killings and fighting for military exploits.
In fact, Han Qian had already reformed Liang Jun's merit system. Heads, heads and number of enemies killed were no longer the core criteria for merit in battle. Especially for middle and high-level generals, battles and campaigns
The degree of completion of intentions is the most important criterion for assessing military merit.
They also hoped that when the Second Central Battalion moved south, the Sima family had already changed their banner in Xu Si, and immediately sent a team of cavalry to escort them to Luoyang; at the same time, they also packed the corpses of Wusu Dashi and Xiao Yiqing into
After being placed in the coffin, he and Wang Jinrong were sent to Luoyang first.
It was also Han Qian's request to escort Wang Jingrong to Luoyang in the first batch.
Han Qian was also eager to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the sinicization of the Mongol Northern Tribes and the resettlement of the northern fleeing gentry in Yanyun, Liaodong, Mobei and other places. This was probably no better than escorting Wang Jinrong back.
The interrogation in Luoyang was more straightforward.
From Gaoping City, go south, pass through Jincheng, take Taihangxing Road to reach Mengzhou first, and then rush all the way to Luoyang. Military posts have been established along the road for more than 700 miles, and it only takes two days by carriage.
Han Qian also immediately met with Sima De and Cao Zhe at Lingyun Pavilion.
Cao Zhe's mood is more complicated. What else does Sima De have to say at this time?
Sima Tan's two cronies also hoped that Luoyang could send people directly to Xuzhou with them to directly discuss Yi Zhi's surrender, and how Xuzhou would cooperate with the Henan Marching Army and the Second Central Bank Camping Army to send troops to Bianliang and Songzhou.
They also hope that Luoyang can make a decision directly.
To put it bluntly, Sima De didn’t think that after the news of the great victory in southern Shanxi spread back to Xuzhou, his uncle Sima Tan would still have any reluctance and hesitation. It was just a gesture that Luoyang wanted to make, and Xuzhou would do everything possible to cooperate in the hope that he would be treated well in the end.
