6. Four towns are always unified
At this time, Jia Dan stepped forward and said, "Although Huating is anxious, seeing that the Chou Fan does not care about his shame and robs the alliance in Xiji, it is likely to launch a full-scale invasion of our Tang. Therefore, the excluding Huating, Pingliang and Weiyuan, His Majesty still needs to focus on Yanzhou and Jiannan Shu capital."
The emperor nodded and asked Jia Dan what his opinion was.
Jia Dan then offered advice that when Ma Chongying came, he would inevitably collude with the falls of the Dangxiang and the Democratic Descendants in Bai Yushan. If Dangxiang was asked to help the thieves, our Tang general was very passive. It would be better to let Li Mian send envoys to pretend to appease the falls of the Dangxiang and make an appointment with Henan (south of the Yellow River and Hetao) and give him a military magistrate to appease the feelings of the Democratic Descendants. It would not be too late to encircle and suppress the enemy after repelling the Western Descendants.
The emperor thought about it and said yes.
Then Jia Dan offered another suggestion that Your Majesty could send another envoy to Huaixi Town where Shen Guangcai was located, and temporarily tolerate it. The Xu Wu brothers inherited the imperial edicts and ensured the transportation of the grain.
"Well, won't Chen Xianqi be there?"
At this time, Li Mi said to the emperor's doubts: "If the Wu brothers let Chen Xianqi go, the court can take him in. After the Xifan retreats, the Dangxiang will be wiped out, and the old things can be brought up again. In the name of Chen Xianqi returning to the town, he will enter Huaixi; if the Wu brothers secretly harm Chen Xianqi, they can also use this to question the crime three years later, and they will also enter Huaixi."
In short, the emperor understood that all the elite and financial resources of the country must be concentrated in the northwest and beat Xifan, the nephew who went back on his word.
"Western Fans are ugly, if they are weak, they will ask for alliances, if they are strong, they will invade, they will be capricious, they will not know our Chinese ethics, but they are afraid of our military power. Lu Jiu, I decided to adopt your previous strategy of preparing borders. From now on, you will issue a script to form all towns in the northwest of the capital into four major towns. Gao Yue is the vanguard of the Longyou Marshal's Camp, Pingliang Town and ambassador to control Xingyuan Dingwu Army, Fengxiang Longyou Yining Army, Jingyuan Xingying, Longjingyuan Fengxiang Three Prefectures, all Shence Army Towns, Liu Haibin, Xingjunya, Ju Wenzhen, Zhang Jingze, and Gao Gu are all under his command. This is one of them. Hun Yu is the deputy marshal of Hedong.
The ruler of Hedong, Hezhong, Weibei, Zhenwu, Tiande, and Masui Hedong Jiedu was replaced by Li Ziliang, who monitored Dangxiang and the Hu people in the north, and was ready to support Yanzhou at any time. This is the second one; Lingwu, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xia Suiyin, Gao Chongwen, the general of Shence Left Army, Luo Yuanguang, and fully protect Yanzhou New City, which is the third one; Wu Xianfu Changwu Army in Binning, Zhang Wanfu Shenwei Army in Xianyang, and Tiantan Zhizhong Shence Camp, which is the fourth one! "The emperor was passionate and made corresponding arrangements.
Then the emperor said, "The 200,000 troops of these four major towns shall be ruled by General Jia Dan. Do not expel all Choufans. Jingyuan, Fengxiang, but those who are not convinced by Gao Yue, Yan, Qing, Ling, but those who are not convinced by Gao Chongwen can be killed; similarly, Gao Yue, Gao Chongwen, and Hun Yu dare not follow Jia Dan's orders, Jia Dan can also be killed. In addition, the two towns of Xichuan and Dongchuan in Jiannan must also support each other. Jingnan Jieduan Cao Wanggao, Jin Shang Defense Envoy Shang Kegu, and Shannan Dongdao Jieduan Fan Ze, send troops to support him when necessary. Cao Wang can prepare three thousand sharp soldiers and take a boat from Kui Mansion and Yuzhou to enter Sichuan. The other two can prepare tens of thousands of troops, and if necessary, travel to Hanchuan, enter Sichuan through Xingyuan Mansion and support Wei Gao."
The emperor's words were loud and full of confidence. At the same time, the emperor also made a ruthless move. In order to avoid the recurrence of Ma Sui's disobedience to delay the opportunity for war, he specially reiterated the general order: "Those who do not obey the orders, those who go out to fight privately, those who do not rescue will be killed, those who stripped the army of soldiers and food, and those who are afraid of the enemy will be killed." He listed the "five beheadings will not be forgiven" in one breath.
Jia Dan also said that the towns in the northwest have accumulated millet and wheat this year, and it is more than enough to defend themselves. It is possible that the officials should control the army of 200,000 and not be scarce. Please repair the road from Yanzhou, Qingzhou to Bining, and set up nine post stations. Each post prepared horses, mules, and donkeys for carrying rice to transport and supply the army at any time.
The emperor said that he immediately issued an edict to Wu Xianfu, the governor of Binning, and sent 3,000 soldiers to build a granary in Pengyuan, Ningzhou; at the same time, let the governor of Qingzhou, Lu Weiming, also sent 3,000 soldiers to build a granary in Mubo Fort in Qinggang Lingnan. Then the second warehouse sent heavy troops to guard the troops, and the soldiers urgently prepared passages and built a post station and the houses were built. It was necessary to achieve success within one month. For example, in Qingzhou, Dangxiang Fanluo in Weibei, dared to attack and obstruct, and the two governors, Wu Xianfu and Dai Xiuyan, could advance to fight and kill without mercy.
This move will open the passage from Yanzhou area along the Maling River to the Bining area. In addition, the establishment of Pengyuan Warehouse and Mubo Warehouse for central transfer reserves will be very conducive to the Jingji area to support the defense or counterattack of Yanzhou City, the "strategic node".
At the same time, according to the suggestion of Li Mi and Jia Dan, the emperor sent Ban Hong to Huaixi, and Kong Chaofu to send Dangxiang Fanluo to the mission. On the surface, it was to promote comfort and comfort, but in fact it was to seek the effect of confusion and division.
In the southeast, the emperor appointed Han Hui as the Xuan She Observation Commander and Bai Zhizhen as the Power of Zhejiang East-West Observation Commander, so that the grain transportation must be smooth and the supply of the capital and military towns in the northwest is incomplete.
Therefore, in the Western Fan period, whether it was Chisong Dezan or Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying did not know that the Xiji Jiezan was not their victory, but the Tang Empire shared the same hatred of the enemy and played the prelude to the horn of persistence and even revenge!
At this time, Gao Yue had quickly arrived at Fufeng Post at the junction of Fengxiang Prefecture and Jingji. Looking from the station from the northwest, the majestic Qishan was right in front of him.
He and his family: Yunshao, Yunhewei and Zhihui had already broken up after crossing Xiwei Bridge. All the family members asked Wei Tuotian and other officials to protect him. They entered Zhouzhi County and took Luogu Road to Xingyuan. They went to Wugong County and went to Fufeng Post to prepare for the rapid exit of Fengxiang.
In front of the post station, Gao Yue handed over the imperial letter given by the emperor to the post station guards. Then the group of people hurriedly got on their horses and whipped them to the Chencang Road in the southwest, asking to order the Dingwu Army to come to help.
But Gao Yue couldn't wait for the Dingwu Army. He sat in the hall of Fufeng Post Office with a fierce bonfire. After a while, there was a lot of people outside the door. Zhang Jingze, the military envoy of Fengxiang Capital, Fuyu Huai, the Marquis of Yu, the Sima of the Left-behind Army, and the Young Yin of Fengxiang Xue Baijing all came to pay their respects.
Zhang Jingze and Fuyuhuai had met Gao Yue before in the Battle of Goutouyuan, so they were familiar with each other.
Only the marching Sima Xue Baijing, who, since Duan Xiushi entered Beijing, could succeed Jingjie, the governor of Fengxiang Longyou, with his identity as "Supervisor Chu", and thus was a little dissatisfied with Gao Yue who suddenly "airborne".
However, Gao Yue didn't care at all and told him directly that Fengxiang Longyou specially built the military name "Yining" and was under my control. Then he asked Xue Baijing for the document, and then asked Zhang Jingze and Fuyuhuai for the document.
Zhang Jingze did not dare to disobey, and immediately asked the accompanying official to hand over the documents.
While Xue Baijing was hesitating, the postman outside the gate ran in and shouted: "The third-rank eunuch in the capital is here!"
After a while, Ju Wenzhen entered with great pride. Everyone hurriedly bowed, but Ju Wenzhen stood directly in the courtyard and bowed to Gao Yue, "I received an order to serve as the military supervisor of the Yining Army and assisted Gao Dayin in rescue of Huating."
This shocked the audience.
"What is the current situation in Huating?" Gao Yue asked Zhang Jingze and others in a row.
