Chapter 1405: Pingliang Blockade
After Wang Yan occupied Chang'an, he did not let go of the Jin army that fled westward, but sent nearly 90,000 troops to continue to march westward, chasing and killing the fleeing army, and it was bound to take Haoge, Wu Sangui, and Meng Qiaofang.
When the army was pursuing, Wang Yan also began to rectify the endgame in Guanzhong, on the one hand, he sent soldiers and horses to collect the states and counties, and if he could recruit them, he would recruit them, and if he could not recruit them, he would quickly wipe them out, and on the other hand, he would send personnel to Luoyang to urge the cabinet to send civilian officials over.
In addition, Wang Yan also asked people to put grain and porridge in Chang'an, Weinan, Huayin, and Gaoling, and asked the civil officials who came from Luoyang to distribute grain and seeds to the displaced people and arrange farming.
In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, Wang Yan first confiscated the land properties of Meng Qiaofang, Han Chaoxuan, Kong Wenfu, Wu Sangui and other Jin nobles in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and then distributed them to the displaced people and the original tenants to cultivate, and after three years, they were transferred to the people of the cultivators.
Ordinary people are the most forgetful, and they also remember to eat and not remember, Wang Yankang's anger to others has also made the people of Guanzhong less exclusive to the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent.
Of course, for these obedient people, Wang Yan is kind to persuade him, and he mainly appeases with the Huairou policy, but if he is not obedient, he will be ruthless. The vast majority of the people in Guanzhong are obedient in this way, and if they are not obedient, they will not live long, and it is estimated that they will die more than ten years ago.
In addition to this part, there is a small part left, which is not very obedient, mainly the beneficiaries during the reign of the Jin State, and most of the components are landlords, scholars, military officers and low-level civil officials in various places. These people gathered together, unwilling to accept the defeat of the Jin State, and some combined with the Liukou to attack the city everywhere, making the team bigger and bigger, and became one of the main threats of the Ming Dynasty.
For this part of the people, Wang Yan can recruit as soon as he can, but if he can't, he will immediately send a large army to extinguish them and kill them all.
It may be tyrannical and cruel to do this, but Wang Yan, who already has an iron heart, will still choose to do this even if he has some pity in his heart, because killing can indeed make Guanzhong stabilize quickly.
To put it mildly, human life is sometimes a string of numbers for those in power, who can easily sacrifice many innocent people and deprive many people of their power for the sake of the so-called overall situation.
When Wang Yan cleaned up Guanzhong, Wang Shixiu, who pursued Wu Sangui on the South Road, had already taken Huxian, Wugong, Fufeng, and Qishan all the way, and met Yu Fengxiang with Ma Jinzhong and Hao Shaoqi, and after Wu Sangui and Han Chaoxuan converged, they ran all the way, and they had already walked into Qinzhou, which is the Tianshui area west of Longshan.
To the north, Liu Fangliang crossed Weishui, and soon joined Li Laiheng in Gaoling, and found that Meng Qiaofang had fled westward, and then pursued westward. Liu Fangliang took advantage of the dragon cavalry, and sent the troops to take the lead in seizing Longde County, known as the "Guanlong Lock and Key", and controlled the Jin army to cross Liupan Mountain and enter Yongliang to the main road.
On May 8, Liu Fangliang led Zhongyong Town to catch up with Haoge and Meng Qiaofang in Jingzhou, and the Jin army was defeated, and once again fled westward to Pingliang Mansion at the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain, where it was learned that Longde in the west had fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
Longde is located at the west foot of Liupan Mountain, looking at Guanshan in the east, overlooking Hetao in the west, Qinzhou in the south, Ningshuo in the north, Qinliang in the belt, supporting the west of the guard, it is an important passage connecting Yongliang and Guanzhong
There are a lot of troops stationed in the Jin army here, and some grain and grass have been accumulated, which is an important node for Yu Yin to lay out on the first line of Liupan Mountain. However, because Wang Deren outflanked Yongliang, Yu Yin himself was trapped in Liangzhou, and Sun Kewang, who had originally agreed to come, did not come, resulting in no elite soldiers on the front line of Liupan Mountain, even if it was the Tun army, part of it was transferred to rescue Liangzhou and recapture Xining Mansion, resulting in a serious shortage of troops, and was captured by Qin Feng and three thousand dragoons.
Taking this city not only blocked Haoge and Meng Qiaofang, retreated to Liupan Mountain, and retreated into Anding and Lanzhou Mansion, but also opened the door for the Ming army to enter Yongliang.
At this time, there was no foothold of the Jin army in the east of Liupan Mountain and Longshan, and Wu Sangui fled into Tianshui with the four legs of the horse army, and the south bank of the Wei River basically fell into the hands of the Ming army.
Wang Shixiu and Ma Jinzhong and Hao Shaoqi entered the street pavilion, after the surrender of Wu Guozhu, who was held by Nanzheng in Hanzhong, He Tengjiao and Wang Yuncai learned from Zhuge Prime Minister, went north out of Qishan Road, and copied Qinzhou and Tianshui from the south.
At the same time, Li Guo led his troops westward and captured Qianzhou, and before the prince of Jin State, Qi Zheng, could ascend the throne, he was swept away by the Ming army, and together with Ledu and others, he died in the city of Qianzhou, and only a few people escaped.
The recent series of defeats, coupled with the occupation of Lund by the Ming army, made the Jin army panic, dealt a serious blow to Hauge, and finally fell ill in Pingliang. The Jin army was intercepted in front of it, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and the Jin army on the north road finally came to the point of survival.
After the Jin army arrived in Pingliang, the Ming army did not give them any time to rest, Liu Fangliang led 20,000 dragoons to go first, and had already left Jingzhou and pounced on Pingliang.
Although Haoge was sick and vomited blood, he knew that staying in Pingliang was the only way to die, and only killing them was their way of life, and Meng Qiaofang also felt that he couldn't stay in Pingliang and wait for death, so he decided to continue to run.
At this time, in the festival hall, Haoge sat on the top, and Meng Qiaofang and others sat on both sides. Although Hauge has no troops and has almost become a light pole, he is the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom after all, and everyone still respects him.
Although Meng Qiaofang is a powerful minister with real power, he has no other ambitions, so he still makes Haoge the emperor, and the Jin country suffers a series of heavy punches, everyone's thoughts are a little confused, and they don't have time to think about these.
Haoge sat with a pale face, coughed, and said slowly: "Right now, Chang'an has fallen into the hands of the thief. What is the situation between the King of Shu and Han Xiang, although I don't know, but the king thieves have many generals, and when they pursue us, they will inevitably send people to pursue the King of Shu. ”
Speaking of this, Haoge looked at the generals one by one, Meng Qiaofang, Sonny and others all had sad looks on their faces, he shook his head and said: "Fortunately, I left a hand before me, and I was destined to run Yongliang."
Speaking of this, Haoge coughed a few times, relieved his breath, and continued: "Right now, although there was a little accident, let the Ming thieves occupy Longde County first, blocking our way, but we can still go north to Ningxia along the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain. Although the road is long and the thieves are strong, as long as we do not give up, we will definitely be able to re-establish the foundation. ”
The golden generals had no ambitions, and Meng Qiaofang saw that no one answered, so he said: "Minister, agree with Your Majesty's suggestion." At the moment, we can't go south, west, and east, and Liu Fangliang chased after us again, and we had to go north to Ningxia. In addition, we don't need to be too pessimistic, now Guanzhong is a mess, there is a shortage of food everywhere, the king thief wants to clean up Guanzhong after occupying Chang'an, it also takes time, Liu Fangliang is in a hurry to chase after the estimate did not bring much grain and grass, after we arrived in Ningxia, because we should be able to get rid of the pursuit of the thief.
A group of generals can only reluctantly accept, but in fact, they are not optimistic, from Pingliangfu to the north, along the official road at the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain to Ningxia, there are hundreds of miles away, the Ming army must follow, but now they seem to have no other choice, can only flee north.
On that day, Haoge and Meng Qiaofang swept the grain and grass in Pingliang Mansion, and after setting fire to the city, they led more than 20,000 Jin troops to the north, and ordered Sonny to carry the grain and grass behind.
Haoge and Meng Qiaofang both knew that they did not have the strength to fight now, and their only hope was to run, escape to the Ming army's lack of food and grass, and take the initiative to stop the pursuit, so that they could have a chance to regain their foothold.
Therefore, they did not choose to attack Lund, but fled north, but not long after the army left Pingliang, a scout came in front of them to report, found thousands of Ming troops, and blocked the way.
Haoge and Meng Qiaofang's faces changed, knowing that it might be Lund's Ming army to divide their troops to block it, so this battle was inevitable, so they could only make the army form a formation to meet it, and a big battle was about to break out······
