When Pei Guan went on his mission, profound changes took place on the battlefield in Hebei.
First, the whole territory of Jizhou was wiped out. After the Daozhou soldiers in the pass took a short rest, they attacked from the north and south with the He Controlling Army heading south from Yingzhou and Dingzhou, and defeated the German army.
Lu Yanwei fled in panic, and Raoyang County refused to accept him. He rushed to Luze again, was defeated outside the city, and died in the rebel army.
The royal capital also fled south, defeating thousands of troops led by Li Bai, the commander of the Daozhou army in Guannei, and rushed to Chacheng, where they were defeated by Ding Hui. He fled into a civilian's house, was searched again, and died.
Duan Liang, the general of the Chengde capital, led his army to Chacheng and fought a battle with the Xia army. He was defeated and more than 7,000 people were killed. The remaining troops supported Liang and collapsed into Jiumen County.
Seeing that the situation was over, Shenzhou surrendered.
Lu Huaizhong repeatedly failed to attack Zhaozhou City. In anger, he went to the front line to supervise Huaihai, Henan, and all the troops in the pass attacked fiercely. On the battlefield, arrows fell like rain, leaving dead and injured.
Taken together, Chengde Town's strength has been greatly weakened. They are indeed not good at field battles. Several attacks have failed, and now they are just hanging on.
It is worth mentioning that after Fu Cunxen quickly took office as Tielin's military envoy, he dismissed some incompetent officers without giving any face. He also strictly enforced military discipline and took the lead. He led his troops to fight several fairly good battles, and was almost
Under Zhenzhou City.
Whether this veteran force can regain its invincible momentum of bloody battles depends on how well it is reorganized.
After reading these military reports, Shao Shude did not interfere in any way. He only gave instructions to supervise the transportation of grain and grass supplies to prevent the front line from being short of food and weapons.
After doing this, he took the palace people and concubines, surrounded by Yin Anzhi and the palace guards, and went to Changping very leisurely. In his opinion, the war in the Central Plains was coming to an end, and the Khitan could be considered as the next step.
.
As for Huainan, we have to wait and see.
He already knew the news that Yang Xingmi was not in good health, but he didn't think it was a good idea to lead the army to the south just after Lao Yang died.
When fighting for Xuzhou, the Huai army suffered losses in field battles. Xingmi realized that it was unlikely to go north, so he set out to clean up the interior. To this end, An Renyi was killed and Tian Yan and Yang Shihou were forced to rebel. Later Tian Fan was captured
In order to seek peace, Yang Shihou invested money.
In today's Huainan regime, most of the elite troops are gathered in Guangling. Yang Xingmi's repeated purges have achieved initial results.
A sudden attack at this time may not have a good effect, and it may even make people more united.
Rather than that, it's better to take it slow.
Yang Xingmi came from a poor background and had a poor family. When he was in his prime, he either went to Lingzhou to guard the border or rebelled and became a bandit. After being recruited by the government, his status was not high, which made him marry and have children too late. Now his children are still young, and he has no
Too much time to teach - the heir Yang Wo's reputation is not very good, and his ability seems not to be very good, so the sergeants may not be convinced by him.
But Lao Yang had no choice. Yang Wo was just twenty years old this year and was already his eldest child and the only heir. He had no choice but to choose him without any competition.
Unless Lao Yang can think clearly and pass the big position to his subordinates - in fact, there has always been a rumor. Yang Xingmi once seriously considered it, but in the end it was unbreakable.
In this case, there is a high possibility that someone in Huainan will rebel, so it is better to wait a little longer.
On September 23, Shao Shude was already in Changpingtang and received the first-hand news from Pei Guan from Jinyang.
After reading it several times, I was so excited that I handed down an oral message on the spot: "Abaoji's betrayal of faith has made people and gods angry, so it is necessary to punish him. Please appoint a good general and lead the powerful men out of Jingxing to Beiping Mansion. I
The two brothers should attack the Khitan together and punish this traitor."
This oral instruction is actually very particular and has a strong sense of temptation.
Where is the place outside Jingxing? Chengde!
If the Jin army's troops pass through here but are not there to save them, it will be a big blow to the morale of the army.
In addition, this is actually a test of Hedong's obedience by PUA master Shao Shude, testing the sworn brother's bottom line.
My sworn brother doesn’t want to surrender? I absolutely respect that.
So how about going to fight Khitan together? Think about it?
The sausage-slicing tactic has always been very effective, and Shao Shude likes to use it very much.
After the oral edict was issued, the palace official Xie Shi wrote it on the spot and sent someone to the Secretary Department to formally draft the edict, and then sent it to the Political Affairs Hall.
Mr. Xie could hear that the saint's great ambition was about to be fulfilled, and he felt happy in his heart. The water in the soup pool splashed and he screamed again and again.
After a long time, the people in the soup pool finally came out.
Yu Lu saw that Gu's eyes were red, but there was a charming smile in her eyes.
After the Queen came over, the life of the official family was quite restrained and arranged in an orderly manner. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Changpingtang, the energy they had accumulated for a long time was ruthlessly snatched away by Yu Lu Jiangu, a foxy girl.
Jie's family wished that they could not sacrifice their lives for him.
"Submit the account books of the states in Hebei Province." Shao Shude was lying comfortably on the bed. Yu Lu Jiangu casually put a thin gauze on his body and sat next to him, stuffing grapes one by one.
Feeling the soft squeeze on his chest, Shao Shude petted Yu Lujiangu like a pet.
The Great Shaman of the Eight Tribes of Khitan, the Lord of Junzhou City, a nobleman of the Diela Tribe, Yulu Jiangu, who had no less than a hundred lives on her hands, squirmed obediently, letting out a soft hum from time to time, which was often met with a loud blow.
's slap.
Most people can't keep this kind of pet, but Shao Sheng likes to keep it.
Palace official Su took four female historians and moved a large number of files over.
As soon as Shao Shude's eyes moved, Yu Lujiangu immediately stood up and came over after a while, pouring a bowl of tea for Shao Shude who was looking through the household registration files.
Shao Shude specifically looked at several newly established counties in Beiping Prefecture, especially Zhigu County.
Princess Miyuan has surrendered, and Zhao Feng, a new scholar, finally took office after spending two months as a newlywed.
Shao Shude looked at it and calculated the approximate grain output of Beiping Prefecture, and gradually he had a good idea.
In Yingzhou, we are still working hard to stock up on farm tools and food this month. Around October, the first batch of immigrants from Caozhou will arrive. They will take advantage of late autumn to level the fields and clear away weeds and stones - the farmland has been abandoned for a long time.
If so, it would be very troublesome to clean up, and it would be even more troublesome to open up wasteland.
In winter, some water conservancy projects will be built while the water is shallow.
These are physical tasks, and you need to stock up on enough food and grass in advance. It's cold in winter, so you have to prepare firewood. We started preparing for these things in the summer, and we are already rushing to transport the last batch.
At this time, he also had to lament that the executive power of government agencies at all levels was really strong when the country was founded. If you reach the middle and late stages of the dynasty, such a small thing can be delayed for a whole year, and it will cost a lot of money.
In the six counties of Yingzhou, the first crop of wheat can be planted next spring and harvested in autumn.
The grain production in the counties of Andong Prefecture is becoming increasingly stable. After all, it has been established for five years, and it has been recuperating in the past two years. It is gradually gaining some hematopoietic ability. This is not surprising.
In terms of administrative division, Andong Prefecture belongs to Huaihai Road. Shao Shude cannot assign it to other places. Even if a road is built in Liao District in the future, the Liaodong Peninsula will always be under the control of the Central Plains. This is a principle and cannot be changed.
Ruzhou and Guizhou are slowly accumulating strength after continuing to establish households and integrate the people and immigrants - mainly families of the soldiers. Now there is nothing in the north and peace is extremely peaceful. They can even trade with the grassland, and the society
Wealth is slowly increasing.
Looking at it this way, the conditions for taking action against the Khitan are slowly maturing.
"Your Majesty is going to conquer the Khitans?" Yu Lujiangu asked suddenly after watching for a long time.
"The Bohai State sent an envoy to ask for help, what do you think?" Shao Shude glanced at her and said, "Speaking of which, what's going on in your Baiwang County? Are you leaving for tea? Officials, how many military households are there to listen to you now?
?Pei Tong came to report, Abaoji sent thousands of people to ride over, and everyone went to the Bodhisattva slaves to flatter him. How do you think you became the city lord?"
"The official family, they haven't seen me for a long time, so they turned to someone else. As soon as I showed up, the guardians came to surrender one after another." Yu Lu saw her aunt and said, "The official family only needs to let me return to Yingzhou..."
"Give up this idea." Shao Shude sneered: "Even if you go back to Yingzhou, you will go with me. What are you thinking?"
When Yu Lu saw her aunt, she didn't dare to speak.
The longer you stay with Guan Jia, the more you know what kind of person he is. He is a beast that eats people without spitting out their bones. It really annoys him. On the surface, he won't say anything bad to you, but if you don't know, he will say something bad to you at some point.
One day, you will fall into the abyss.
After hearing that the construction of the Luoyang Palace was completed, the officials had ordered to find a site in Henan Prefecture to build the imperial mausoleum. Although the Central Plains has long had no bad habit of burying concubines at the expense of the emperor, but...
Aunt Yu Lu saw that she had been studying very hard recently, but she had heard the song "Meng Cai's Lament".
When the king asked "What will you do if he dies?", this is not a choice, but a request.
"When Pei Guan and Li Cunxu come back next month, I will evaluate the situation in Hedong. If we can deal with it as soon as possible, we will pull out tens of thousands of Jin troops and attack the Khitans to see if Abaoji can catch them." Shao Shude
Said: "By the way, you can't ask Baiwang County to come to surrender, and you can't inquire about the condition of Yaonan's Khan. Who are your cronies in Yingzhou? Tell them all, and I will pardon them. Yes.
If you are capable, you can sneak back to Khitan, initiate connections, and inquire around. If you have great achievements, I will not hesitate to reward you generously."
"Yes." Yu Lu saw that her aunt did not dare to neglect and immediately agreed.
In fact, she had told the sage before that Khan Dejin might not survive this winter, but the sage didn't believe it.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't believe it at all. At least, he has been preparing in advance, which shows that he already believes it in his heart.
Once Khan Dejin dies, the Eight Khitan tribes will inevitably re-elect the Khan. Can Abaoji endure it?
If he holds back, then the new Khan will come up and he will die in three years and three years. Abaoji is thirty-four years old this year and seems to be in his prime, but what if the new Khan is younger than you?
Can you afford to wait for Abaoji?
If Abaoji voluntarily gives up his candidacy for the sake of the future of the Eight Khitan Tribes - forget it, given Yu Lujiangu's understanding of her brother, this is impossible.
Abaoji is also a wolf. He can give up anything, but he can never give up power.
If there are too many people who oppose him, such as the gang at the bottom of his command, he is likely to strike first, kill them, and force his way into power.
At this time, the Khitan was actually at its most chaotic and weakest.
Yu Lu sighed secretly when she saw her.
The Eight Tribes of Khitan were stared at by a man like Shao Shude, and they suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.
It must be said that it is a huge irony that Hende Jin Khan was cared about his condition every day by the Emperor of the Central Plains.
