Chapter 317: After the War

【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.

Under the First World War, more than 15,000 Youzhou troops were wiped out more than 20 miles south of Liangxiang, and there was no return of horses.

This was the inevitable consequence of the infantry formation being broken through by the cavalry in the field.

In fact, many examples of battles with Beihu show that once the Central Plains army was defeated by Beihu, most of them suffered heavy losses.

Later, the situation became more and more serious.

Of course, this battle is not a particularly typical battle example, because the Hengan Zhenjun has made a series of strategic decisions before it, which led to such a final result.

Li Po's ability to command operations has also been verified again.

The Youzhou army was defeated, and the main force of the army barely stopped, only slightly regrouped the army, and then entered Liangxiang.

Hundreds of defenders of Liangxiang were surrounded by the swarming cavalry army in the city, and without attacking, the defenders of Liangxiang hung up the flag and raised the city to surrender to the enemy.

At this time, the road to Jicheng, the county capital of Zhuo County, is already a smooth road, the official road is wide and convenient, if the army gallops forward, half a day is enough to rush to Jicheng City.

At this time, Li Po also had to stop, let the army that had experienced a fierce battle rest and take a break.

By the way, it was also time to count the casualties and check the gains of this battle.

The casualties made Li Po's heart tussle, the casualties of two thousand cavalry were not the largest casualties in the Heng'an Town Army, but it was definitely not light, which made Li Po feel distressed.

It was different from the war with the Turks in the winter of the 11th year of the Great Cause. At that time, the army of Heng'an Town was full of recruits and infantry soldiers who had not ridden horses for a few days.

Nearly half of the casualties in that battle were lost. only to bring down the Turks, which is equivalent to a cruel training process.

The losses were heavy though. But it is indeed trained to produce an elite army that is victorious but not arrogant and defeated but not discouraged.

And the 2,000 cavalry casualties this time were all elite in a hundred battles......

What's more, he also killed a leading lieutenant in battle.

This can be said to be the first senior general killed in battle since the formation of the Heng'an Town Army.

The loss was not small, but Li Po quickly sorted out his mood.

Since leading the troops, he has become more and more deeply aware of the words of mercy and not in charge of the troops in these years, and after each battle, he looks at the long list of the dead. If you have a little compassion, then you don't have to live.

Therefore, after leading the troops for a long time, the number of casualties in the mind of a qualified leading general is often just a series of cold numbers.

What they are thinking about is definitely not how to resist these fallen soldiers, their first consideration is absolutely no different from Li Po, first they have to think about what kind of impact it will have on the army they lead. Is it worth the price?

The subsequent results also made Li Po definitely think that it was worth it.

His strategic objectives were achieved, and the results were perfect. He led the army to annihilate the main force of the Youzhou Army, and captured alive more than a dozen generals under Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou.

In addition, more than 3,000 Youzhou soldiers were captured.

Cavalry marched through. The Youzhou army in front was almost slaughtered, and the cavalry rushed up. If you want to save some hands, you can't do it, and you can directly trample more than 10,000 Youzhou soldiers into powder.

Harvest on armor. It is very gratifying, the food and grass of the Youzhou army are heavy, and it is also very rich, obviously, the wealth of Youzhou is not a rumor, and it is completely different from a poor ghost like Song Jingang.

Of course, the Heng'an Town Army, which occupies Zhuo County, is no longer so scarce in food and grass, and the soldiers who are tired of eating dried meat can drink some soup these days, chew corn, pickle vegetables or something.

As before, Li Po didn't see Luo Yi at all, the disciple of the gate valve, at this time, there was no difference from Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and others.

And Li Po didn't think about using Luo Yi to recruit the defenders of Zhuo County, in his opinion, with Luo Yi's head, the effect was similar to that of a real person going to the city.

Moreover, the main force of the Youzhou Army has been lost, and the county seat of Zhuojun is already in his eyes.

So, Luo Yi, who had just been the governor of Youzhou for a few months, immediately fell to the ground, and there was no chance to stage it.

It is estimated that if there is really a netherworld mansion, Lord Yama will also have a great headache, this person has sent down many people who have not finished their lives, how is this good?

Wei Chigong, an accomplice, did a good job, and he single-handedly handled several famous guys, caught Li Po in front of him, and it was his subordinates who killed people.

He's a celebrity killer......

Li Po met with several generals of the Youzhou Army.

There were two reactions that were more intense, and Li Po moved the knife without hesitation, without any awareness of Corporal Lixian.

He doesn't like characters who can't see the situation clearly, blindly flaunting their fierceness, but looking too irritable, and likewise, he doesn't like those guys who have no loyalty at all and frequently change halls.

According to his psychology, it is estimated that most of the heroes of the late Sui Dynasty who were caught by him will not end well.

Of course, this is also the result of the lack of competent people around him, otherwise, someone will definitely tell him that he should not act according to his own preferences in recruiting rebels in these years, and his reputation will be seriously affected.

However, simple and crude methods often have some direct effect, so several other Youzhou army generals immediately became much more honest.

The situation in Zhuo County is that he knows everything and says everything, and Li Po also showed that he was more suspicious, so he asked separately.

The general situation of the county seat of Zhuojun is almost clear.

Now the people who rule the county are very famous, this guy is called Wen Yanbo, and he is a descendant of the Wen family in Taiyuan.

is now in the position of Sima of Youzhou Governor's Mansion and is Luo Yi's confidant.

This is a literati who has served as a Beijing official, and his connections in the DPRK and China are also good.

It's a pity that he was recommended by Yang Jun, the king of Qin, in the governor of Bingzhou, and later in the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Jun was disgusted by Emperor Wen because of his arrogance and extravagance, and he took away his official position and recalled the Beijing master to ask for guilt.

When Yang Jun was in the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, he died of illness in Beijing, and Emperor Wen was annoyed that the courtiers and servants around Yang Jun were not good for persuasion, and most of the people in the palace of King Qin were implicated, and Wen Yanbo was no exception.

Later, Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, and he was not bad for the heir of Prince Qin, and Wen Yanbo's eunuch career also improved, and he came to Youzhou to be an official.

It's a pity that this kind of attention is not necessarily a good thing, Wen Yanbo has been in Youzhou for several years, the general trend of the world is changing, most of the literati like him are following the crowd, and they are not as assertive as military generals.

Later, he became the Sima of Luo Yifu, and it is estimated that most of them were also caused by helplessness.

As for who led the troops to defend the city, several generals said some names, and Li Po heard about it, there are two surnamed Luo, both of whom are relatives of Luo Yi, and there are no well-known people.

is similar to his original judgment, it seems that Luo Yi is far from gaining a firm foothold, and the sequelae of inciting mutiny are very obvious.

It is said that Xue Shixiong's two sons are in Youzhou, but they are both guarding the mausoleum......

…………………………

At the end of May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Po led the army to defeat Song Jingang, killed Song Jingang, occupied Shanggu County, and then defeated the main force of the Youzhou army, and beheaded Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou.

Counting from the eighth year of the Great Cause, five years later, the pawns of the Liao army returned to their hometown on the same day, and led the army to occupy the county seat of Zhuojun and the Linshuo Palace where Emperor Yang Guang was fortunate several times.

After the news spread, Hebei shook.

The soldiers and horses of Youzhou in Yuyang County have fortified the city to protect themselves, and the defenders of Juyong Pass are trembling.

After hearing the rumors, Wei Dao'er led his army south to the river, intending to huddle with Dou Jiande to keep warm, because he was a rogue like him, and what he was most afraid of was being attacked by cavalry.

Dou Jiande was also shocked, he was supposed to expand in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, and immediately shrank his forces, allied with Wei Dao'er, and prepared to meet the attack of this strong enemy from the north.

…………………………

At the same time, Li Yuan, who was thinking of dividing his troops into three ways and going to Chang'an as soon as possible, had to stop in the fierce attack of Sang Xianhe, the general of Qu Tutong's army, to face the defensive circle laid by Qu Tutong.

Qu Tutong is a calm soldier, he is not a genius-type general, but in terms of strategic layout, few people in the world can compare to this person.

It's just that the more people like this, the less shining points there are, and only when you are at war with him, you will feel uncomfortable.

Li Yuan was very uncomfortable.

Qu Tutong Chen heavy troops in Hedong County, this is a very critical position, it is Pujin Bridge to the west, across the Yellow River to the west is Feng Yi County, across the bridge to the south, is Yongfeng Warehouse, this is the first warehouse in Guanzhong, take it, Li Yuan's army will not worry about military rations.

To the south of Hedong County, it is the Fengling Ferry, yes, you need to go south to west, you need to pass through Hedong County.

Li Yuan wants to cross the river, and there is a third option, that is, Longmen Mountain and Liangshan between Longmen and Hancheng, and this crossing point is guarded by strong cities such as Hancheng and Heyang.

Such a strategy almost blocked all the roads for Li Yuan's army to go to Chang'an, Qu Tutong thought that if Li Yuan wanted to enter Cheng'an, he could only fight with him in Hedong, and there was no other way.

But he thought wrongly, Li Yuan had a headache, but the Great Sui had already choked his breath, although Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was not dead, he was almost like a dead man, whether it was a Kansai person or a Kwantung person, except for a few people, no one cared about the emperor who made the world full of smoke.

Li Yuan went south to Chang'an, although he had no geographical advantage, he occupied a person.

Li Yuan only sent some envoys to tentatively communicate with the people in the west of the defense circle, and the defense circle laid by Qu Tutong immediately fell apart, and Hancheng, Heyang, and Feng Yijun all threw themselves under Li Yuan's command.

not only tore open the defensive circle, but also put Qu Tutong's department in danger.

So, in the second half of May and the first half of June, Li Yuan's father and son and Qu Tutong fought wits and courage around the fortress of Guancheng along the Yellow River.
