Chapter 559: Wangcang sighed

With Wang Bi's surrender and compromise, Zhang Xuan's army began to enter Liyang Cangcheng in a mighty way, and the captured prisoners of war became the best laborers, and they were responsible for transporting all the materials of Liyang Cang onto the ship.

Zhang Xuan appeased Wang Biao and promised to rescue his family from Luoyang immediately, and at the same time, Zhang Xuan named Wang Biao as the general of Wei County, and appointed the general Du Yunsi as Wang Bian's deputy general and military envoy of Ji County, and the two led 20,000 troops to sit in the southwest of Hebei, and Qinghe County was on the horns.

At the head of the city, Zhang Xuan watched the flow of people carrying grain, and tens of thousands of prisoners of war were busy carrying bags of grain and cloth in the city like ants, as well as a large amount of military supplies.

In addition to 450,000 stone grains, there were more than 100,000 pieces of cloth and a large number of weapons and armor.

However, what made Zhang Xuan a little disappointed was that the armor was mainly leather armor, and there were only thousands of pairs of Mingguang armor, which is no wonder, Mingguang armor itself is extremely difficult to make, and it requires a lot of fine iron, which is a symbol of national strength, and can only be equipped by the Xiaoguo army that guards the Son of Heaven.

At present, the Mingguang armor is mainly stored in Luoyang and Chang'an, I heard that Taiyuan also has a part, and the reason why Li Yuan and Wang Shichong's armies are elite and invincible in history is largely because they got the granaries and armories of Chang'an and Luoyang, and got sufficient food and the most sophisticated equipment of the Sui army.

Zhang Xuan couldn't get it from Chang'an and Luoyang, and he could only make it himself, and he had to start implementing this matter immediately after he returned.

"What is the big marshal thinking?" Fang Xuanling didn't know when he appeared next to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "I think that the resources in our hands are not enough, the reason is not that there are not enough mines, in fact, we have gold mines in Donglai County, Lu County and Liaodong County have also found iron mines, the key is that there is a shortage of manpower." It is difficult to mine and smelt, and if we have enough fine iron and good craftsmen, we can also craft all kinds of fine weapons. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly: "I have also considered this problem, the Huang family not only controls the iron mines in Liyang County, but also has thousands of good ironsmiths in their hands, I told the ****." Let him lobby the family and send some good ironsmiths to Qingzhou to help us, and there are not enough miners, why didn't the marshal consider selecting from the victims? ”

Zhang Xuan came to his senses, nodded and said, "The military advisor is right, for the huge disaster victims, we can only guarantee the minimum food supply, ensure that they will not starve to death, if the disaster victims want to eat a little more." If you eat well, you have to pay labor, concentrate the fields, build water conservancy, mine ores, spin and weave, make military uniforms and boots, and so on, and turn the disaster victims into labor resources. ”

"The general was right. We will deploy them one by one after the war. ”

At this time, Fang Xuanling asked with a smile: "Has the general ever thought about why Xiong Kuohai came to join the Qingzhou Army?" ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned. "Did the Strategist find anything?"

"I just feel that General Xiong has something unspeakable, the general thinks about it, General Xiong is the leader of the eighteen villages in Nantaihang, and there are more than 10,000 bandits under him, but in the end he only brought more than 600 of his subordinates to defect, embarrassed and depressed. Where is the slightest bit of the majesty of the bandit leader, doesn't the general think that something must have happened to him? ”

Zhang Xuan was a little interested, and asked with a smile: "Has the military advisor asked him?" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head, "Except for the handsome, this kind of thing is not easy for anyone else to ask about." Isn't the general very concerned about the situation on Li Yuan's side? I think the majestic sea to vote is probably related to Li Yuan. ”

Zhang Xuan realized something, and immediately said to his soldiers: "Go and ask General Xiong to come and see me!" ”

The soldiers rushed away, Fang Xuanling also saluted, went down to count the food, and after a while, Xiong Kuohai hurried over, he had already changed into a Sui general armor, and his figure was very majestic, which was quite similar to Wei Chigong.

Xiong Kuohai knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See the big handsome!" ”

"The general is exempt!"

Zhang Xuan asked Xiong Kuohai to get up, and asked with a smile: "How is it, can you still adapt?" ”

Xiong Kuohai was awarded the title of Wu Yonglang General for his meritorious service in capturing Lu Mingyue, and served as a partial general of the Chinese army during the war, under the direct jurisdiction of Zhang Xuan, with 3,000 soldiers under his command, this trust made Xiong Kuohai very moved, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you for the love of the handsome, I have adapted to my humble position." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, and said with a smile: "Lu Mingyue's war horse was originally my horse, and he snatched it when I returned to Zhuo County from the grassland, but I now have a new mount, and the horse will be given to the general." ”

Xiong Kuohai has always taken a fancy to Lu Mingyue's horse, and later he heard that Lu Mingyue's war horse was originally the boss's horse, so he handed over the war horse again, and changed it to an ordinary war horse, but he didn't expect the boss to reward the horse to himself, which made Xiong Kuohai overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you for your love!" ”

"You're welcome, there is another thing I want to ask you, I don't know if the general can answer conveniently, if it's inconvenient, I won't ask anymore, it won't have any impact."

"Although the marshal asks, he will answer everything!"

Zhang Xuan sighed and said: "At the beginning, the general in Chenliu County told me that you are active in the Taihang area, why did you think of leaving Taihang Mountain?" ”

This sentence asked Xiong Kuohai's heart, he sighed low and said: "Dissatisfied with the marshal, the humble post has been active in the area of Wangwu Mountain in Hanoi County, last month the humble post was defeated in Qiziling, north of Wangwu County, 10,000 troops were wiped out, the humble post only led hundreds of people to escape from Hanoi County in embarrassment, and finally settled in the Vain Mountain, the humble post has always wanted to come to the marshal, but he felt shameless to come to see, until he caught Lu Mingyue, the humble post made up his mind to vote. ”

"Fortunately, the general caught Lu Mingyue, otherwise I would have lost a general for nothing."

Zhang Xuan smiled again and asked, "If I guessed correctly, the person who defeated the general in Hanoi County was Li Jiancheng's army!" ”

"Marshal Qiqi, it's not Li Jiancheng, it's Li Mi's army!"

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Li Jiancheng is Li Mi, and the real Li Mi died in my hands in the ninth year of the Great Cause." ”

"Ahh Xiong Kuohai was taken aback, "It turns out that Li Mi is Li Jiancheng, so don't you save the eldest son of Li Gong in Taiyuan?" ”

"It was him, he had been in the Wagang Army for a few years, and a few months ago he broke with Zhai Rang, and he led a part of the Wagang Army north to Hanoi County, preparing to respond to his father."

"What does the marshal mean is that Li Yuan is going to raise troops?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "I have already sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, indicating that I am coming to attack Lu Mingyue, and at the end of the book, I mentioned that the true identity of Li Mi in Wagang is Li Jiancheng, so Li Yuan should raise troops." ”

Xiong Kuohai looked at Zhang Xuan blankly, he really didn't understand the deep meaning of Zhang Xuan's words, Zhang Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "This is the world situation, Li Yuan has been preparing in Taiyuan for several years, he needs an opportunity to raise troops, and I will fulfill him." ”

"Thank you for your frank admonition, the lowly duty is not to ask the world, and the lowly task is to carry out the military orders of the marshal to the letter."

"Good!" Zhang Xuan said happily: "Then we will kill back to Hanoi County!" ”

......

At the same time when Zhang Xuan fought Lu Mingyue and captured Liyangcang, an army of more than 20,000 people was also stationed at the foot of Cangyan Mountain, which was about 150 miles away from Liyangcang, which was Li Jiancheng's army.

It has always been Li Jiancheng's long-cherished wish to seize Liyangcang, but for various reasons he has not been able to make the trip, and after separating from Zhai Rang, although he got some ships, the ships above 500 stone were forcibly detained by Zhai Rang and he was not allowed to take them away.

It was precisely because he did not have a thousand-stone warship in his hand that he lost the necessary conditions to attack Liyangcang, and Li Jiancheng could only look at Cang and sigh.

On the top of Cangyan Mountain, Li Jiancheng stood in front of the cliff, looking at Liyangcang in the distance, his heart was full of infinite melancholy, Zhai Rang listened to Wang Ruxin's words, and forcibly detained the big ship, so that he lost the conditions for attacking Liyangcang, and finally the food and materials in Liyangcang became Zhang Xuan's meal, so how could Li Jiancheng not lose it in his heart.

Next to him, Wang Bodang persuaded in a low voice: "Childe, the matter has come to this, don't mind anymore, after all, Zhang Xuan's strength is far stronger than ours, and it was Lu Mingyue who encountered him instead of us, we should feel lucky." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, "I know that Zhang Xuan has a strong army, and I don't want to compete with him for Liyang Cang, in fact, I am not losing Liyang Cang, but I feel that Zhang Xuan's vision is far-reaching, I heard that he has begun to provide large-scale relief to the victims of the Central Plains, the world is Jiuding, the Central Plains is big, he can seize the opportunity to win the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, but I have more than enough strength to do so, but in seizing the opportunity, we have lost." ”

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from behind him, "Why did Childe say this?" (To be continued.) )
