1393 History of the Youzhou Thorn
Tuhe River is a water flow that flows directly into the sea in western Liaoning, because of this convenience, when going north in the old year, Wen Fangzhi chose this place as a window to infiltrate western Liaoning, and the goods that flowed into western Liaoning through the hands of Liu Qun and others earlier were mainly scattered from this place.
After arriving at Tuhe, Wen Fangzhi and the others can be said to be basically safe. Especially after Ma Shijin's Wang Shi crossed the sea and arrived at Tuhe, Duan Lan did not dare to forcibly detain Wen Fangzhi and others, and since then, Wen Fangzhi and others have completely gotten rid of the situation of being forced by others.
"The last general, Xu Lang, meet Shi Angong!"
The leader who came to meet Wen Fangzhi and others was a general about 30 years old, who was the son of the veteran general Xu Mao, and was currently serving as the commander of the Qingzhou Army.
"General Xu doesn't need to be polite."
After being manipulated for several months, he finally saw his own generals and troops, and he felt very cordial in his heart: "Liaobian is more treacherous, and it is always better to use strength than a strong army." ”
Xu Lang has also heard a lot about Wen Fangzhi's experience during this time, and when he heard Wen Fangzhi sigh like this, he also said: "There were many troubles in the old years, and it was inconvenient for the sergeants to be sent far away. When Shen Dudu learned that the Duke of Shi'an was trapped in Liaobian, he was also furious, and as soon as he got the order from Xingtai, he immediately sent the general into the country, and listened to the dispatch of the Duke of Shi'an. The governor also told him that if the forward brigade sent this time is still insufficient, the follow-up Bohai war will end slightly, and the male army will be increased, and all the disobedient thieves in Liaobian will be killed! ”
Hearing Xu Lang's murderous words, Liu Qun, Cui Yue and others on the other side couldn't help but look sideways.
And Wen Fangzhi was overjoyed after hearing this: "According to what the general said, it seems that the war in Jizhong is progressing well?" ”
Xu Lang paused, turned his head to look at Liu Qun and the others, obviously a little distrustful of them. Liu Qun and the others were also interested, and when they saw this, they got up and left the house, and Wen Fangzhi did not say anything to save them, not that he couldn't believe Liu Qun and others, but when it came to the secrets of Wang Shi's military affairs, it was still inconvenient to publicize them too much.
It was only after Liu Qun and the others left that Xu Lang gave a brief statement on the current battle situation in the south.
Although the ultimatum issued by Xingtai to the state of Jin was in July, the time for the real large-scale northward march was in mid-May, and Shen Mujun in southern Hebei was even faster. Almost as soon as the spring flood began, Qing Yanxu and other soldiers from the Sanzhou Prefecture had already completed their recruitment and entered southern Hebei.
This way the king division reached the peak of 80,000, because last year in southern Hebei has laid a good foundation, this year's initial use of troops is also very smooth, not to mention the plains, Leling and other places that have been started last year, Qinghe County has also been recovered by the whole county, and the forward troops are only two or three hundred miles away from Xindu, the new capital of the country.
However, due to the fact that the central and western routes were not yet in place, Shen Mujun did not directly attack Xindu, mainly to sweep the newly recovered territory, and the main military action was to attack Bohai County.
Bohai is one of the richest core realms in Hebei, the country of Qi also placed tens of thousands of elite soldiers here, plus the fierce cavalry, there is no major advance on the frontal battlefield, but the attack launched by the sea on the side is advancing smoothly, Xu Lang's father Xu Mao led the naval army not only successfully established itself in the coastal counties of Bohai County, and then advanced layer by layer, completely opening up the road east of Bohai County's southern pi.
As for the advance of Zhongzhou, because Xu Lang was directly ordered to enter Liao from the Bohai Sea, he didn't know much, and the situation in this situation didn't have much to do with it, so he didn't say more.
Wen Fangzhi was also overjoyed to learn that the battle of the Wang Division was advancing well, especially since the Wang Division had already controlled the coastal area of Bohai County, and had even penetrated into Zhangwu further north, which meant that the influence on Liaobian could be greater later.
Although Xu Lang didn't know much about the military situation in Zhongzhou, he also brought the instructions of the general Xingtai, and the reason why he did not go north until June was mainly to wait for the instructions of Xingtai.
When he learned that the situation in Liaobian had changed again, and Murong Hao actually died at the hands of his heir, Xu Lang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really God bless Xingtai, I thought that after entering the country, I would have to fight hard to save the situation, but I didn't expect that Shi An Gong was clever and rape, and he could still kill the thief chief in prison, which is really admirable!" ”
"It's better to take advantage of it."
For the reversal of the situation in Liaobian this time, Wen Fangzhi is naturally not lacking in pride, but he will not get carried away because of this: "Bian Hu is cunning, usable but not credible, if there is no strong intimidation, no matter how wise he is, it is difficult to make practical progress." General Xu is heading north at this time, which can make up for my weak situation. ”
He took the letter of the order from Xu Lang, opened it and saw the familiar handwriting of the general, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble, and then he read it carefully.
In this handwritten letter from the general, he first praised Wen Fangzhi's achievements in Liaoxi before, and did not blame Murong Hao for his rebellion and Murong Ren's defeat later, but only told Wen Fangzhi to protect himself carefully, and not to fight with this Hu chief before the situation was completely settled.
At that time, the general who was far away in Luoyang naturally didn't know what happened after Liaobian, because in addition to this letter to Wen Fangzhi, there was another letter to Murong Hao.
Now that Murong Hao is dead, this letter has no meaning, Wen Fangzhi directly opened it for a short look, the wording of the letter is not unkind, and he did not reprimand Murong Hao too much for his rebellious behavior, but only focused on mentioning that Wen Fangzhi and others must not be harmed: "Otherwise, the rivers and seas in Liaobian will be red, and all of them will be the rebels of Murong and the thieves, and the king will be in a million armor to fight, don't say that you are unpredictable!" ”
"It's really a shame that I was negligent for a while, and I was gullible about Murong Wannian, so that the general was far away in the sky, and he was still worried about his safety."
Wen Fang's heart was also heartfelt, and he folded the letter, which no longer had a recipient, into his arms, and then continued to read the instructions given to him by the general.
Probably worried that Wen Fangzhi was still under the control of Murong Hao, and this letter would inevitably be monitored, and the general did not put forward any clear instructions in the letter, but only instructed Wen Fangzhi: Do everything you want, follow the power and expediency, and do your best to think and be eclectic.
In addition, there is also a dictation from Xu Lang: "At present, the subordinate Taiwan is dedicated to destroying karma, and there are still only a limited number of people who can exert force in Liaobian." But if Shi'an Gong has a big plan, Le'an, Bohai and other realm kings will also try their best to cooperate. However, the general also asked Shi Angong to understand that even after the destruction of the Liao, the hostility of Xingtai was still not only on the Liaobian side, and the head of the North Suotou was ready to move, and then it was difficult for Wang Shi to calmly go to Liao by land. After that, the Liaobian economic strategy is decided, and it is still necessary to focus on the sea route. ”
Wen Fangzhi nodded after hearing this, although he is not very old, he has also experienced more than ten years of training in the royal master, so he naturally understands that at present, everyone is competing to advance, and he is not the only one who is doing things.
And Murong Hao dared to betray Xingtai before, because he saw the military trouble brought by the Saishang Daiguo to the succession of Wang Shi, and probably wanted to strive for a situation in which he would come south with Daiguo and suppress Wang Shi.
Hebei does not belong to the traditional sphere of influence of the Wang Division, even if the State of Qian is solved, there is still no shortage of obstacles in terms of whether it is the rectification of the place or the dispatch of troops.
Plotting through the sea route to Liaodi can indeed give full play to the advantages of the king master itself to a greater extent. Although Xingtai is strong in the sky, the foundation is still in Jiangdong after all. Jiangdong old Wu land, water affairs prosperous, the old Wu period along the sea route and Liaodong exchanges, to now Xingtai attaches great importance to the operation of the sea route, follow this, Liaobian these forces have no means of defense.
Although Xingtai gave Wen Fangzhi great power and autonomy, Wen Fangzhi also knew that the most important thing at the moment was the war in Hebei, and he did not plan to attract more Wang Divisions into Liao. At present, the Liaobian still needs to be divided and fetted, if you really plan to solve it once and for all by force, at least 50,000 royal divisions must be the foundation, in the current situation, it is simply impossible.
After discussing confidential matters, Wen Fangzhi asked Liu Qun and others to come back and began to discuss how to run Liaodi in the future.
Before the discussion, Wen Fangzhi first announced several appointments to several people. One of the most important of these is the appointment of Liu Qun as the assassin of Youzhou.
Speaking of solemn affairs, Wen Fangzhi also became serious: "At the beginning of the year, Liu Gong did all kinds of deeds in Liaoxi, and I had sent someone to return to the stage, and the general was also very pleased with Liu Gong's high righteousness, and asked Liu Gong to be more successful, and then shoulder the heavy responsibility, and create special contributions for the supervision of Youyan in Xingtai." Originally, this order should have been ordered by the person who should have been observed, but the situation changed, and I hope that Liu Gong will not blame the general for being rude. When the Haiyan River is clear, the world will be one, and there will be a special ceremony for Xingtai, so please return to the country and be rewarded. ”
"Secluded, secluded state thorn history ......"
Liu Qun couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment when he saw Wen Fangzhi placing the edict and the letter in front of him, as for the so-called negligence in power, he had no time to take care of it for a while.
When Cui Yue, Lu Chen and others heard this, they were all speechless in surprise.
Originally, when they had nothing to do, they didn't discuss what fate they would have after returning to the south, after Liu Kun's death, in fact, they didn't dare to have much hope for the south anymore, and even faintly pessimistic, thinking that General Shen might not be elegant and tolerable, and they never thought that the General Shen in Xingtai would directly grant Liu Qun the position of Uncle Fang without even seeing each other.
Although the current Youzhou is still under the rule of the Qianguo, there is no inch of land, but it does not mean that this appointment is a complete vacancy, in addition to the history of Youzhou in his own position, Xingtai also granted Liu Qun a fake festival and supervised the military of Youzhou and Ping. In other words, Liu Qun became the chief official who was currently dealing with all the affairs in Liaobian. Moreover, the state of Qian is about to die, this is the general trend that anyone can see, and it will not be long before Liu Qun, the assassin of Youzhou, will be able to officially perform his duties.
This appointment is not unimportant, you must know that even when Wen Fangzhi traveled north to Liao, he was just a free cavalry and the governor of Liaodongliu, and this time it was thanks to Liu Qun's appointment that he was able to take up the post of the governor of Youzhou Assassin Prefecture.
