3. The Deception Camp
"This is of course." Qingping Guan Guiguo hurriedly agreed to the worship dance.
Next, Gao Yue said to Guiguo: "Before I went to war with the Prince of Hechuan, my friend Zheng Zhi asked me that he had a grandfather named Zheng Hui. He was originally a county magistrate in Xilu. Twenty years ago, he was trapped by you and others. To show his sincerity, he could be sent back."
But Gui Guo disagreed and admitted that "Zheng Huixian is also a Qingping official in our country and a commander of the king's division. Since he has eaten my king's salary, he should be loyal. Moreover, Zheng Hui strongly opposed this time of sending troops, so wouldn't it be better to keep him in our country than to send him back to the Tang Dynasty and then be a county magistrate?"
At this time, Gao Yue looked at Li Sheng, and the other party seemed to agree with Guiguo's analysis. If Zheng Hui stayed in Yunnan, he should be able to use it in the future.
After the two sides agreed, Guiguo said goodbye and left. Li Sheng respectfully took a cup of tea from Gao Yue, "Gao Shiyu, this battle was lucky enough to be successful, and you have made great contributions."
Gao Yue thought for a while and sighed, "The reason why the king of Yunnan Yi Mouxun was defeated this time was because he had just ascended the throne. Many other troops in China were dissatisfied and had no intention of attacking Li and Yazhou. Most of the Xifan troops that resisted along the way were insignificant Qiang and Hu servants, probably because Xifan Zanpu hoped to seek peace through war."
Hearing this pertinent evaluation, Li Sheng nodded, "Gao Shiyu said that, before we went to the expedition, the Holy Lord had given Xifan prisoners and prisoners each dressed in clothes to send them back to the country, and sent Taichang Wei Shaoqing (Lun) to discuss peace. After we entered Sichuan and won the victory, the Zanpu of Xifan would most likely agree. From then on, the Northwest Military Town was afraid that it would eliminate the war and open a large number of military farms."
"It's no problem to prepare for war with peace." Gao Yue thought to himself.
At this time, the Xishan Army envoy Zhang Feng, Dujia Hantan, and Dutou Shuyao General Wang Shengluan suddenly walked in, and then Dulubai was in front of Li Sheng.
"Everyone, why is this?" Li Sheng was shocked and hurriedly helped these Xichuan generals up.
Gao Yue sat behind Li Sheng and winked at Han Tan, the most eloquent among them... This was exactly what he had arranged in advance, and had previously flew into Sichuan by secret letters to let Cui Ning know.
"We are willing to go to the west of Shence in the capital!" Zhang Feng, Han Tan and Wang Shengluan asked in unison.
this?
A complicated emotion surged in Li Sheng's heart.
He could understand the mood of these Xichuan generals - the Shence Army was originally just a local army-level unit with only a thousand people. Later, because of his achievements in protecting the chariot, he was promoted to the imperial guards of the Northern Yaya. Generally speaking, the task of the Shence Army was like this: to guard the Da Nei or guard the northwest. If there is any change in the local area or foreign enemies invade, they would form a camp for an expedition like this. Now that Li Shi had just succeeded to the throne, he had just taken the Shence Army from Wang Jiahe, and the new army envoy Bai Xiugui spared no effort to expand the land and the army.
Expanding the land means adding the so-called "Shence Xingying Military Town". Shen Ce Army said that I also want to go to the northwest to prevent autumn. Every time Xifan invasion, we cannot always gather from the capital, which will delay military operations. Therefore, when Li Yu was still alive, Shen Ce Army began to build land in the northwest. Not only were the good people in the west of the capital, but Purun and Linyou who took Fengxiang were all set up as Shen Ce Army Town. On weekdays, Shen Ce Army soldiers stationed here, trained and guarded. The local governors or local officials could not control the taxes and farming income in these places. The purpose of this is to prevent Xifan, in addition to using Shen Ce Army Town to "mix sand" and "occupy land". After all, Shen Ce is the emperor's private army, which is the treatment of his daughter.
It is easy to understand that the expansion of the army is expanded. The number of troops in the Shen Ce Army can be used to recruit more people to fight in. In addition, like now, the teams in other border towns requested "Yaoli Shen Ce Camp". If they succeed, they can be replaced. The "Border Army" that grandma does not love his uncle does not love him to "Shen Ce Army" that is loved by thousands of people. The soldiers all "sent" to the Shen Ce Army. Why do you do this? Of course, it is because the Shen Ce Army's military pay is high, the bonus is too much, and tax exemption is also available. This is what later generations call "eating troops".
Therefore, Li Sheng can certainly understand that the Xichuan Army General made such a request. If he reported it, the military envoy Bai Xiugui would naturally agree.
But isn’t this equivalent to offending Zhang Yanshang, the newly appointed governor of Xichuan,?
Which Jiedushi likes his subordinates to be intercepted?
Li Sheng was pondering, and Gao Yue coughed his throat and got angry at Han Tan and others who were kneeling down: "Xishan is an important part of defending Xifan. The court has always set up military envoys and defense envoys here. Now you don't want to guard the border and serve as loyal generals, but you are thinking about how to stay in Shen Ce camp and fail to move forward when encountering the enemy. But this matter is faster than anyone else. If the other military towns in Jiannan know that they are all fighting to get involved in Shen Ce, wouldn't Tianyan be furious? This is simply contrary to the holy will, so you can retreat!"
"No, Gao Shiyu, what they were thinking was completely consistent with the Holy Will. Your Majesty was reluctant to eat all Fang Zhen." Li Sheng corrected in his heart, but he could not say it clearly. At the same time, he also vaguely knew that Gao Yue's move was "retreat as advance" - indeed, after hearing Gao Shiyu's anger, these Xichuan generals were even more reluctant to leave, and kowtowed and begged.
In the end, Li Sheng could only agree: "There are 5,000 elite soldiers in the West Mountain, which is actually the foundation of Shu relies on it. You should not rashly change the Li Shen Ce Xingying Camp. However, although the Lutou Shou in Hanzhou is small, its location is very important. Among them, 500 soldiers can be changed to the Li Shen Ce Xingying Camp first."
At this time, the general Wang Shengluan, the deer head, was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Li Sheng.
In the Shu capital, Zhang Yanshang, who had just taken office, was glaring, "Li Liangqi (Li Sheng's name is Liangqi) was expelled from Fangzhen by Fufeng County Prince Ma Lin for his good deeds, and then surrendered to the Shence Army. Unexpectedly, he used his old tricks again and came to our Xichuan to poach the walls. The Lutou Gate was in Hanzhou, and he was in the dangerous position of the East and West Sichuan. How could he become the Shence Army Town? It's really too much!"
When Zhang Yanshang was angry, Li Sheng led the Shen Ce camp and the troops of the West Mountain to enter the pass of Qipan Mountain, followed the Dujiangyan Shuangjiang River, played a roar of triumphant songs, and brought the captured heads and captured enemy soldiers to the capital of Shu.
Qipan Mountain, also known as Canya Pass, is known as the division between China and the Yi in the southwest. Wenshui (Minjiang River) is completely dangerous in the west of the pass, with Qiang and Hu shepherds cattle and sheep everywhere. After passing here, Wenshui was tamed by the Dujiangyan built by Li Bing and his son. Qingcheng Mountain is even more beautiful with thousands of peaks and green valleys. Going forward, the fields are fertile, mulberry and bamboo fields, and the 24-mile vegetation of households, and it is really a country of Heaven: no wonder my father-in-law occupied Xichuan, so he never wanted to return to Chang'an City again.
Dujiangyan guides the Wen River into a Shuangliu. Once it passes through the west of Shudu and the south of Shudu, it is called the inner and outer rivers by the Shudu people. There are seven bridges on the river surface, which correspond to the shape of seven stars in the world. According to custom, a large army must walk the city bridge located in the center to be considered safe.
"Yi Song, after crossing the Shiqiao, it is Shu Capital. If you continue to go there, you can enter Shuzhou. Shuzhou has a name when it was established in the previous dynasty." On the horse's back, Li Sheng was rarely in high spirits. He pointed to various places with a horse whip and explained the allusions around Shu Capital to Gao Yue.
