Chapter 1676 The Situation in Sui and Tang Dynasties

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Sui army broke through Fushi City with almost no effort. After the war, Li Zhengbao, Feng Duan, Xin Lier and others were all integrated into the Sui army with combat power.

    As for Liang Shidu, although Xiao Ju is on one side, he is still essentially a bandit.  It was not easy to deal with such a person even if he was sent to Xindu alive, so he was beheaded on the order of Huang Mingzheng and his head was sent to Xindu.

    Liang Shidu originally thought that he was still useful to the Sui army and would have to be surrendered anyway.  Who would have thought that the Sui army looked down upon him at all. On the execution ground, no matter how hard Master Liang struggled, he could not escape the imminent blow.

    In fact, the most troublesome thing to deal with is Liu Wanquan, the Jihu man.  Under the attack of Liang Jun, only a few hundred people were left in his army. After the Sui army entered the city, Liu Wanquan took the remaining troops and surrendered to the Sui army.

    It was entirely because Liu Wanquan surrendered quickly and the Sui army could not massacre prisoners.

    Although Huang Mingzheng did not kill these Jihu people, he placed them under Li Zhengbao's command, and his tribe was also disrupted.  Presumably, with Li Zhengbao watching over them, there won't be any big problems with these Jihu people.

    The Sui army occupied Yan'an and killed Liang Shidu, and the entire Liang regime was declared to be destroyed.  Although there is still an incomplete Honghua County in Liang State.

    Soon, the puppet Liang Daxingtai Bai Fuyuan and Liang Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren, who were responsible for the siege of Honghua County, led their generals He Sui, Suo Zhou and others to surrender.

    Therefore, Bai Fuyuan was appointed as General Hu Benlang and Liang Luoren was appointed as General Hu Yalang. They were temporarily stationed in Honghua County.  Although Bai Fu was willing to surrender, the Sui Dynasty did not have much binding force on Honghua County.  There is no way to do this. Huang Mingzheng's army is at a loss and he is temporarily unable to take care of Honghua County.

    However, Huang Mingzheng still led two thousand troops by General Li Riqing to Heshui County, both to support and to protect the flanks of the army.

    The weather in Guanbei is bitterly cold and severe.  Huang Mingzheng rested in Yan'an County for half a month. On December 23, Huang Mingzheng led his army to continue southward and approached Shangjun.

    The governor of Shangjun is Yu He.  Yu He once served as the prefect of Shanggu County, but when the emperor visited Shanggu, he was dismissed by Yang Guang because of insufficient supplies.  Yu He's cousin was Yu Shiji. With the help of Yu Shiji, he became the prefect of Shangjun again.

    At this time, it was just when Li Yuan entered Guanzhong. Yu He was in Shangjun. He heard that Li Yuan had rebelled and was about to enter Guanzhong. He was panicking.  He was willing to surrender, but he was worried that he was from Jiangnan, and his cousin Yu Shiji was notorious and might not be trusted by Li Yuan.  So he hesitated and couldn't help himself.

    Huang Mingzheng's troops headed south, heading straight to Luojiao County (today's Fuxian County, Shaanxi Province).

    Yu He did not dare to resist, so he opened the door to welcome Huang Mingzheng to enter.

    After Huang Mingzheng entered the city, he took over the civil and military power of Shangjun.  Yu He did not dare to resist, so he had no choice but to let Huang Mingzheng carry out his plan.

    Going south from Shangjun is the land of Guanzhong.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s order to Huang Mingzheng was to send troops to the county and resist Li Tang in the south.

    In fact, Huang Mingzheng went south from Shangjun and entered Guanzhong with a greater advantage than Li Yuan.  However, on the one hand, Huang Mingzheng did not have enough troops, and on the other hand, the Fengzhou Army had little influence in Guanzhong and had no supporters.  If you enter Guanzhong rashly, you are likely to fall into the quagmire.

    Huang Mingzheng stayed in Shangjun, just in time to compete with Hedong and Tongguan.

    Huang Mingyuan also established the Guanbei Governor's Office, which had jurisdiction over the military affairs of the six counties of Shangjun, Yan'an County, Diaoyin County, Honghua County, Shuofang County and Yanchuan County.

    Huang Mingzheng was appointed as the commander-in-chief and the prefect of Shangjun. As for Yu He, he was transferred to Xindu.

    He also appointed Chen Yi as the deputy governor to defend Lingwu County in the west.

    He also transferred Wang Nandi to be the deputy general manager of Yinshan Guard.

    On January 15, Huang Mingzheng ordered Wang Huchen to lead an army to Yijun County in Jingzhao County, take the command of Jingzhao Captain, and station troops in Phoenix Valley.  Phoenix Valley is the key point from Jingzhao North to Guanbei. It is also the junction of the Loess Plateau and the Guanzhong Plain.  From a high position, overlooking Guanzhong, it was like a sharp knife inserted into Guanzhong's abdomen.

    When Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, he ordered his son Li Shimin to take over all the counties in Weibei.  But because the main target was Guanzhong, Li Shimin only occupied Jingyang and other county towns and had no time to go north.

    When Li Yuan occupied Chang'an and ordered Li Shentong, Chai Shao, Samurai Xun and others to take charge of Guanbei County, he discovered that the main force of Fengzhou Army had entered Jingzhao.

    Li Yuan was greatly frightened and hurriedly ordered to defend the enemy.

    But at the same time, Xue Ju's Northern Route Army also approached Jingzhou.  Li Yuan had no choice but to order Chai Shao and others to attack.  Fortunately, Li Shimin defeated Xue Rengao in Fufeng. Xue Ju was worried that the North Route Army would go deep alone and ordered his troops to withdraw. This way Guanzhong was not besieged from all sides.

    But Li Yuan was worried that Xue Ju would invade from Jingzhou again, so he had to station a large number of troops here, and Huang Ming's troops in the north had to wait a while.

    After March, Zhang Wenyuan stationed troops in Hedong, Liu Wenjing also defeated Tongguan, and the entire Guanzhong was in shock.?, Li Yuan was even more unable to send troops to benefit the king.

    Of course, the Sui army was unable to attack Guanzhong.

    Since September last year, the five armies of Zhang Wenyuan, Liu Yunfang, Huang Mingzheng, Yan Xiaowu, and Huang Mingpu have moved to Hedong, Guanbei and other places. In about half a year, they used nearly 200,000 troops and horses, and consumed countless amounts of food and grass.  .

    Now it seems that Li Yuan is struggling to cope with the situation in Guanzhong, but there are countless Guanlong families in Guanzhong, and they can mobilize more than 100,000 troops in an emergency. In addition, the Guanzhong treasury is full. Once the Sui Dynasty launches a full-scale attack, Li Tang will defend with danger.  You may not lose.

    Huang Mingyuan's plan now is to trap Li Yuan in Guanzhong. He will not take action easily without exhausting Li Yuan.

    When it came time to send troops to Guanzhong, it was like a thunderous thunder, sweeping away thousands of troops like a rolling mat.

    Of course, in this current situation, Li Yuan is also very aware of the dilemma he faces.  He had to admire Huang Mingyuan's good tactics. He seemed careless, but in the blink of an eye, all the results of his hard work fell into Huang Mingyuan's hands.  He even regretted that he had rashly launched an army and ended up in this situation.

    "But Li Yuan has a tough mind. Although he regrets in his heart, he has no choice but to go on one way.

    So Li Yuan ordered his eldest son Li Jiancheng to take charge of the troops in Tongzhou, Huazhou and Tongguan to resist the Sui army in Hedong and Tongguan;

    He also ordered his second son, Li Shimin, to take charge of the troops in Qizhou, Longzhou, Jingzhou, Ningzhou, Pizhou and other places to resist Xue Ju;

    He also ordered his cousin Li Xiaoji to station troops in Lantian to resist the Sui soldiers in Shangluo;

    He also ordered Li Shentong to station troops in Jingyang to resist the Sui soldiers in the northern part of Guan.

    At this time, the only ones Li Yuan could hold firmly in his hands were the previous five counties of Jingzhao, Fufeng, Fengyi, Anding, and Beidi.  However, these five counties are densely populated and have sufficient military resources.  Although Guanzhong experienced some turmoil, the scale was limited and did not damage the foundation of Guanzhong.  At this time, there were nearly 500,000 households in the five counties of Li and Tang.

    And although Liang Mo and Jiao Fangwei occupied Hechi and Hanchuan counties, they seriously blocked the road from Guanzhong to Bashu.  However, most of the Bashu counties were controlled by the Guanlong family, so they also changed their ways and responded to Li Tang.

    Generally speaking, Li Tang still has an advantage in Guanzhong.

    Facing enemies on all sides, Li Yuan is secretly gathering strength, while Huang Mingyuan is also planning to take over Guanzhong. Although the two sides are confronting each other, the war is about to break out.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
