6. The four towns are generally unified
At this time, Jia Tan stepped forward and said: "Although Huating is in a hurry, but seeing that this time the ugly fan disregards the shame and robs the alliance in Xiji, it is likely to carry out a comprehensive invasion of our Tang Dynasty, so in addition to Huating, Pingliang, and Wangyuan, Your Majesty's focus still needs to fall on Yanzhou and the capital of Jiannan Shu." ”
The emperor nodded, and then asked Jia Tan what he thought.
Jia Tan then offered advice and said, Ma Chongying is here, he will inevitably collude with Bai Yushan's party and the tribes, if the party is allowed to help the thieves, I Tang will be greatly passive, it is better to let Li Mian send an envoy for the time being, pretend to appease the party and the party, and allow him to settle in Henan (south of the Yellow River Hetao), and give him a military number to appease the Tibetan situation, and wait until the Western Tibet is repulsed, and then it is not too late to encircle and suppress.
When the emperor thought about it, he said yes.
Later, Jia Tan offered another suggestion, His Majesty could send another envoy to Huaixi Town, where Shen Guangcai was located, to temporarily appease, and the Wu brothers would inherit the festival to settle the luck.
"In that case, isn't Chen Xianqi right?"
At this time, Li Mi said to the emperor's doubts: "If the Wu brothers let Chen Xianqi go, the imperial court can take them in, and when Xifan retreats and the party is wiped out, the old matter can be brought up again, and in the name of Chen Xianqi's return to the town, enter Huaixi; If the Wu brothers secretly harmed Chen Xianqi, they could also use this to ask for guilt three years later, and they would also go to Huaixi. ”
In short, the emperor understood that now all the elite and financial resources of the whole country must be concentrated in the northwest, and he will severely beat Xifan, the nephew who has rebelled.
"Xifan ugly, if you are weak, please ask for an alliance, if you are strong, you will be capricious, you don't know my Chinese ethics, but you are afraid of my Celestial Empire. Lu Jiu, I decided to adopt your previous strategy of preparing for the border, and from now on, you will issue a document to unify the towns in the northwest of Beijing into four major towns, Gao Yue is the Marshal of Longyou's camp to recruit envoys, and Pingliang is the ambassador to suppress the Xingyuan Dingwu Army, Fengxiang Longyou Yining Army, Jingyuan Xingying, Longjing Yuan, Fengxiang Sanzhou and all the Shence military towns, Liu Haibin, Xing Junya, Ju Wenzhen, Zhang Jingze, and Gao Gu are all under his command, and this is one of them; Hun Yang was the deputy marshal of Hedong, controlling the towns of Hedong, Hezhong, Weibei, Zhenwu, and Tiande, and Ma Sui Hedong Jiedu was replaced by Li Ziliang, who stayed behind, monitored the party and the Hu people in the north, and was ready to respond to Yanzhou at any time, which was also; Lingwu, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xia Suiyin, controlled by Gao Chongwen, the general of the Shence Left Army, assisted by Luo Yuanguang, made every effort to protect Yanzhou New Town, and the third is also; Wu Xianfu Changwu Army, Xianyang Zhang Wanfu Shenwei Army, Fengtian Tan Zhizhong Shence Battalion, this is awarded Jia Tan moderation, in the middle to support the enemy situation of all parties, this is also the fourth! "The emperor was impassioned and made corresponding arrangements.
Then the emperor said, "The 200,000 soldiers and horses in these four major towns are managed by Jia Tan, don't chase away the ugly Fan, Jingyuan, Fengxiang but there are military generals who do not obey Gao Yue, and salt, Qing, and Ling but there are military generals who do not obey Gao Chongwen, can be beheaded; In the same way, Gao Yue, Gao Chongwen, and Hun Yang dare not obey Jia Tan's orders, Jia Tan can also be beheaded. In addition, the two towns of Xichuan and Dongchuan in Jiannan must also respond to each other, Jingnan Jiedu makes Cao Wanggao, Jin Shang defense makes Shang Kegu, Shannan Dongdao Jiedu makes Fan Ze, if necessary, send troops to help, Cao Wang can prepare 3,000 sharp soldiers, take a boat from Kuifu, Yuzhou into Sichuan; The other two can be prepared with 10,000 soldiers on standby, and if necessary, they will go to Hanchuan, enter Sichuan through the roads of Xingyuan Mansion, and respond to Wei Gao. ”
The emperor's words were loud and full of confidence, and at the same time, the emperor was also ruthless, in order to avoid the recurrence of the previous situation of Ma Sui's disobedience and delay of the fighter, he deliberately reiterated the order: "Those who do not obey the order will be beheaded, those who go out to fight privately will be beheaded, those who will not be rescued will be beheaded, those who carve the clothes and food of the soldiers will be beheaded, and those who are afraid of the enemy will be beheaded", and listed "five beheadings without forgiveness" in one breath.
Jia Tan also said that all towns in the northwest have corn and wheat savings this year, which is more than enough for self-defense. Kechen controlled the army of 200,000 troops, and could not make food scarce, so please repair the roads from Yanzhou and Gyeongju to Suining, set up nine post stations, and prepare horses, mules, and donkeys for the transfer of negative rice at each post to supply the army at any time.
The emperor said that he immediately issued an edict to Wu Xianfu, the envoy of the Ningning Festival, and sent 3,000 soldiers to build a granary in Pengyuan, Ningzhou; At the same time, let the history of Gyeongju be clear, and also sent 3,000 soldiers, and also built a granary in Mubo Fort in Qinggang Lingnan. Subsequently, Ercang sent heavy troops to defend it, and the soldiers urgently prepared the passage and built the post station, which must be completed within a month. For example, the party Xiang Fanluo in Gyeongju and Weibei dared to attack and obstruct the people, and Wu Xianfu and Dai Xiuyan were the two jiedu envoys who could enter the army to kill without mercy.
This move will connect the Yanzhou area, along the Maling River, to the passage of the Binning area, and the establishment of Pengwoncang and Mubo warehouse for transit reserves, which will be very conducive to the Gyeonggi region to support the defense of the "strategic node" Yanzhou City, or counterattack.
At the same time, according to the suggestions of Li Mi and Jia Tan, the emperor sent Ban Hong as an envoy to Huaixi, and Kong Chaofu as an envoy to the party.
In the southeast, the emperor appointed Han Wei as the Xuanhui observer and Bai Zhizhen as the eastern and western observer envoy of Zhejiang, so as to ensure the smooth flow of Cao Yun and ensure that the supply of Gyeonggi and the northwest military towns was complete.
Therefore, on the Western Tibetan side, whether it is Chisong Dezan, Shang Jiezan, or Ma Chongying, they still don't know that the Xiji Tribulation Alliance is not their victory, but the Tang Empire's common hatred and hatred, and the prelude to the clarion call for perseverance and even revenge!
At this time, Gao Yue had quickly arrived at the Fufeng Station at the junction of Fengxiang Mansion and Gyeonggi Province, and looked from the northwest from the post station, and the majestic Qishan Mountain was close in front of him.
He and his family members: Yun Shao, Yun He and Zhi Hui had broken up after crossing the Xiwei Bridge, and all the family members were protected by Wei Daotian and other foot officials, entered Zhou to the county, and took Luogu Road back to Xingyuan; And he went to Wugong County, went to Fufeng Station, and prepared to go out of the town of Fengxiang quickly.
In front of the post station, Gao Yue handed over the imperial document given by the emperor to the hands of the post guard, and then the group of people hurriedly got on their horses and whipped to the southwest of Chencang Road, to send an order to the Dingwu army to come to help.
But Gao Yue couldn't wait for the Dingwu army, he sat in the middle hall of the Fufeng Post with a blazing bonfire, and after a while, there was a lot of noise outside the door - Fengxiang was all soldiers and horses Zhang Jingze, Du Yu Hou Fuyu Huai, and Sima who stayed behind on the march, Fengxiang Shaoyin Xue Baijing all came to visit.
Zhang Jingze and Fuyu Huai had met Gao Yue in the Battle of Goutouyuan before, so they were familiar with each other.
Only the marching Sima Xue Baijing, since Xu Duan Xiushi entered Beijing, he could immediately rely on the identity of "Chu Shuai" to succeed Fengxiang Long's right section envoy, so that he was a little dissatisfied with Gao Yue, who suddenly "parachuted".
However, Gao Yue didn't care at all, and said directly to a few people, after that, Fengxiang Longyou's special army was called "Yining", which was controlled by me, and then asked Xue Baijing for the edition, and then asked Zhang Jingze and Fuyu Huai for the military registration.
Zhang Jing did not dare to disobey, and immediately asked the accompanying important officials to hand in the papers.
And when Xue Baijing was hesitating, the post man outside the door ran in and shouted: "The nobles in the Beijing Division, the three grades of the inner servants, are all treasured!" ”
After a while, Ju Wenzhen entered with pride, everyone hurriedly saluted, but Ju Wenzhen stood directly in the courtyard and saluted Gao Yue, "A certain imperial decree is the military supervisor of Yining, and he assists Gao Dayin to rescue Huating." ”
This suddenly shook the audience.
"What is the current situation of Huating?" Gao Yue asked Zhang Jingze and the others in a loud voice.
