Chapter 1635: Pacifying Mayi

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Li Yuan killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, he had no choice but to rebel.  Huang Mingyuan was not worried about things happening again, so he began to make arrangements for Li Yuan.

    Huang Mingyuan has many old troops in Hedong.

    This is Huang Mingyuan¡¯s confidence to quickly solve the Hedong problem.  These people are all over the counties and counties in the east of the river, with both civil and military skills. Many of them have been operating in the local area for more than ten years.

    Although Li Yuan had help from aristocratic families, since the rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty, Hedong had been liquidated many times, and the Guanlong family's strength in Hedong had long been reduced to ten percent.

    This is also the reason why Li Yuan has not dared to take action before.  Guanlong Shijia just shouts slogans, but you should be more practical.

    Huang Mingyuan sent a message to the generals east of Hedong, ordering everyone to hold on to the city and wait for the main force to advance eastward.

    Hebei's main seven guards are the Zuowu Guard in Xindu County, the Right Tun Guard in Hengshan County, the Longxiang Guard in Wuyang County, the Controlling He Guard in Dongchang County, the Huwei Guard in Shanggu County, and the Yingyang Guard and Baotao Guard in  Weijun.  The Qiwei are mainly concentrated in the east of Taihang Mountain and the north bank of the Yellow River.

    At this time, the Feihu Trail, Jingxing Pass, Weize Pass, and Fukou advancing westward were all in the hands of the Hebei Army.

    Southeast of Hedong, there are Changping County and Shangdang County. The prefects of the two counties are Yan Xiaowu and Duan Yanshi respectively.  Huang Mingyuan ordered Yan Xiaowu to take charge of the troops and horses of the two counties, and Duan Yanshi to take charge of the government affairs of the two counties to guard against the troops in Jinyang. He also ordered Huang Mingpu to lead the Bao Tao Guard to march west from Fukou and stationed at Changping Pass.

    Zhang Wenyuan was ordered to lead the Youtun Guards from Hengshan County to the west and stationed at Jingxing Pass.

    As for Mayi County in the north, it was even simpler. Huang Mingyuan never paid attention to Liu Wuzhou, who did not receive Turkic support.  Fan Wenlin and Li Ziren were stationed in Heng'an Town and Yanmen Pass, and held Mayi County from the north and south. They then ordered Liu Yunfang to lead the Huwei Guards to march westward from Shanggu County, first pacify Liu Wu's Zhou tribe, and then move south to Taiyuan County.

    The three guards and horses, plus the local army, totaled more than 100,000, and surrounded Taiyuan County from three sides.  If Li Yuan gives up Taiyuan and chooses to go south, there is still a glimmer of hope.  If Li Yuan clung to Taiyuan, Jinyang would be his burial place.

    In fact, Huang Mingyuan did not want to fight to the death with Li Yuan in Jinyang, but hoped to drive Li Yuan south and take the opportunity to sweep across Hedong and enter Guanzhong.

    Therefore, the three armies, the middle and south armies, did not move, and the north army took the lead in attacking Mayi County.

    Liu Wuzhou¡¯s rebellion was a scam, at least in this era.  Historically, his rise was due to his backing to the Turks and the support he received from the Turks. There were also elite former border troops in the county, so he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to prosper.

    "But Huang Mingyuan killed Shibi Khan, and the Turks are now in civil strife and have no time to take care of themselves.  While all the elite frontier troops from Shuozhou were transferred to Anbei Protectorate and Heng'an Town by Huang Mingyuan, there were not many in Mayi County itself.  Although the men in the north were brave and brave, Liu Wuzhou also opened warehouses to store grain and recruited a large number of strong men with tens of thousands of horses after he became the prefect, but they still could not compare with the Sui army.

    Liu Wuzhou knew that Mayi was poor and if he was trapped in Mayi, he would definitely lose. He had to fight out and attack the wealthy Taiyuan counties.  So he led his troops south and prepared to attack Fenyang Palace.  Fenyang Palace is rich in supplies. Only by occupying this place can we have the possibility of heading south to Hedong.

    After Han Yuanjian, the captain of Loufan County, learned that Liu Wuzhou had rebelled, he led his troops north to Loufan Pass to prevent the opponent from going south.

    Loufan and other gates were all repaired after the Turks moved south last year.  Liu Wuzhou originally planned to launch a surprise attack, but he did not have enough troops. Therefore, the two sides were in a stalemate, and Liu Wuzhou found it difficult to advance.

    After less than half a month of stalemate, Li Ziren, who was stationed at Yanmen Pass, led his troops to occupy Sangqian Town and threatened Shanyang City.

    Liu Wuzhou was shocked when he learned that he was afraid that his retreat would be unsafe, so he immediately withdrew to Mayi.

    Fan Wenlin, the Huben general stationed in Heng'an Town, had 8,000 troops. After receiving Huang Mingyuan's order, he also led 6,000 troops south to Shenwu County, blocking Liu Wuzhou's possible northward escape route.

    However, Liu Wuzhou's rebellion eventually caused turmoil in the hearts of Daibei, and there were still many people who tried to fish in troubled waters. Yang Changren, the governor of Yanmenqian County, Wang Que, the commander of Yanmen, and others also secretly gathered people to prepare to respond to Liu Wuzhou. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out and he was killed by Tai  The guard Mo Chenyi knew.  Hou Mo and Chen Yi took the initiative and captured and executed Yang Changren, Wang Que, their families and party members. For a time, the whole county of Yanmen was frightened, and no one dared to resist.

    On November 15, Liu Yunfang led more than 10,000 Huwei guards to Yanmen Pass first.

    On the 17th, Liu Yunfang commanded various armies to surround Shanyang City.

    The various departments of the Sui army gathered together, with about 20,000 people, three times the number of Liu Wuzhou's troops.

    At this time, Liu Wuzhou, who had been wandering around for more than a month, finally found himself in a desperate situation.  Liu Wuzhou was ambitious and capable, but he did not have the confidence to fight the main force of the Sui army.

    Although Liu Wuzhou had sent people to contact the new Turkic Khan, Chuluo Khan,The foreigners didn't dare to come at all.

    Liu Wuzhou was so anxious as he faced the numerous Sui troops outside the city.  He is often at the border, so he naturally knows the strength of the armies outside the city. However, there are no reinforcements outside Shanyang City, and Mayi County has a bad harvest this year. The food in Shanyang City cannot last even a month. If we continue to fight, the only possibility is to break the city.  .

    At this time, his brother-in-law Yuan Junzhang suggested to Liu Wuzhou that Shanyang City could no longer be defended and that he could break through to the Turks before making further calculations.

    Liu Wuzhou also hesitated. Is it that easy to be a dog for the barbarians?  Moreover, the Turks were also defeated by Huang Mingyuan. Is it useful to defect to the Turks?

    While Liu Wuzhou was hesitating, his general Gao Manzheng suddenly opened the city gate and surrendered to the Sui army outside the city.  Gao Manzheng's entire family died at the hands of the Turks. He had a blood feud with the Turks, so how could he be willing to surrender to the Turks?  He persuaded Liu Wuzhou to surrender to the Sui army. With these thousands of soldiers and a Shanyang city, he could save his life, but Liu Wuzhou was unwilling.

    Mayi was trapped in a military disaster and the people were fed up with it. Gao Manzheng took advantage of the people's will and surrendered to the Sui army.

    At this time, the city gate opened, and Liu Yunfang commanded the troops to enter the city.

    Liu Wuzhou was shocked when he heard the news in the city. He was so frightened that he quickly led his cronies to break out of the encirclement.

    The generals guarding the city, Xun Xiang, Zhang Wansui and others, all surrendered to the Sui army.

    Liu Wuzhou led Huang Ziying, Yuan Junzhang and others with less than a thousand people all the way north, but was blocked by Fan Wenlin's army in the La Valley (now south of Hongtao Mountain in the northeast of Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province).

    Liu Wuzhou was unable to advance or retreat, and was completely destroyed by the Sui army.

    ??The generation of heroes who swept the entire Hedong region and brought the most defeats to Li Tang died in the La Valley.

    After pacifying Liu Wuzhou, Huang Mingyuan ordered to analyze the northern part of Mayi County and Yanmen County, establish Yunzhong County in Hengan Town, and control the three counties of Yunnei, Shanwu and Gaoliu (now Yanggao County, Shanxi Province).

    At the same time, the Daibei Dudufu was established to control the military affairs of the four counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen, Mayi and Loufan, with 22,000 troops under its jurisdiction.

    Fan Wenlin was appointed as the acting Northern Governor and the prefect of Yunzhong County;

    Cui Minqian was the governor of Mayi County;

    Han Yuanjian was appointed as the prefect of Loufan County;

    And Li Ziren led 5,000 troops and followed Liu Yunfang southward.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
