Shen Peng and Li Xiu were both in Changge at the time, so he advocated taking the inner route. It was Li Xiu who strongly advocated, and Shen Peng joined him to borrow the road from Mengzhou. After arriving at Yuanqu, Li Xiu decisively proposed to lead his troops to directly insert the Meihe Ancient Road.

intercept.

All this shows that Li Xiu has judgment and decisiveness that surpasses ordinary generals.

If it weren't for him and Shen Peng leading their troops to arrive in time and inserting themselves into the Meihe Ancient Road after meeting Su Lie, the Daliang battle would have not only intercepted at least 30,000 more defeated troops, but also controlled the route from the southern foot of Taiyue Mountain in one step.

Enter the strategic location of Zelu.

This is extremely important for the subsequent situation between the enemy and ourselves and the development of the war.

Shen Peng and Su Lie both made great achievements in this battle, but Han Qian was convinced when he promoted Li Xiu to be the commander-in-chief of the Taiyue Marching Army.

Li Xiu and Su Lie walked out of the long case and took orders to thank them.

"Jinzhou was then changed to Pingyang Prefecture. Feng Liao advocated that seven counties including Linfen, Xiangling, Hongdong, Xiangning, Yuecheng, and Fushan be added to it. Zhiguanxing was victorious, and Wenbo deserved the most credit for this battle.

You will be informed of the military rank, and will also be in charge of the Pingyang Prefecture and envoys, and will be in charge of the military capital of Pingyang. In addition to Feng Zhang serving as your deputy capital commander, Xue Chuan and Lin Sheng will also lead their troops to stay in Pingyang. Your follow-up focus is:

We need to build more fortresses in the northern part of Hongdong County based on dangerous terrain to block the passage for enemy soldiers from Taiyuan to go south and solve the worries of regaining Guanzhong..." Han Qian told Wen Bo again.

"If it weren't for Concubine Shu's plan, this battle would never have been won so smoothly. Wen Bo deserves to be the leader." Wen Bo said.

The generals in the army are mainly accustomed to using ready-made achievements and lack enough interest in the development of new learning systems to understand.

For example, Han Qian was accustomed to using strange conspiracies in his early years. Only then did Wen Bo gain a deeper understanding of the profound foundation behind these many conspiracies.

The deeper the understanding, the more peaceful Wen Bo's mind becomes, making it difficult for him to feel arrogant.

He knew that the victory of this battle relied more on the careful planning of the General Staff Office, the orderly and sufficient supply of materials in Luoyang, the sophisticated armor and weapons, and the strong fighting spirit and combat effectiveness of the entire army. He personally can only say that

A qualified executor.

Now Han Qian has given him three infantry brigades and the corresponding reserve brigades, and asked him to build a defense line in the northern part of Hongdong County. However, as long as there is a steady stream of material support from Luoyang and enough sophisticated war equipment is available, Wenbo has absolute confidence.

It is believed that the enemies of Taiyuan will be blocked in the upper reaches of the Fen River so that they cannot interfere with the subsequent battle to regain Guanzhong.

"I have two lovely wives who are worth a hundred thousand elite soldiers." Han Qian took Zhao Ting'er's hand and laughed.

In addition to the establishment of Taiyue Camping Army, Pingyang Camping Army and Pingyang Mansion, Feng Liao, Gu Qian and others also proposed to separate Yicheng, Quwo, Jiangxian, Yuanqu, Yicheng, Wenxi and other counties into Xinxi

Jiangzhou Prefecture was established.

In addition, Puban, Linyi, Anyi, Wanrong, Gaoliang, Jishan and other counties in the lower reaches of the Fen River were classified as Hejin Prefecture. However, the defense affairs of Hejin Prefecture were included in the marching army sequence of Huatong Prefecture and were subject to Jing.

Vibrate the unity of control and command.

Currently Han Bao and Wen Yuan are stationed in Puban and other cities to spy on the enemy forces at Pujin Ferry and Tongzhou in Hexi Province.

In addition, Han Qian also left six disabled reserve brigades to rest and recuperate along the Fenshui River to strengthen the defense capabilities of the entire lower and lower reaches of the Fenshui River. Other troops and horses will gradually withdraw to Luoyang to rest and recuperate to guard against western Henan, Huatong, and Shangluo.

Waiting for the war to resume again, and preparing for the war to regain Guanzhong next year...

…………

Han Qian did not stay in Xiangling for too long, and returned to Luoyang with Zhao Ting'er in early November, surrounded by many attendants and generals. However, Feng Liao stayed behind to handle the follow-up matters on behalf of the You Neishi Mansion.

To the south of Huo County, to the west of Qinshui, to the east of Pujin, and the lower reaches of Fenshui River Valley, it is the best part of the entire Hedong County. The 25 counties have tens of millions of acres of cultivated land and more than 1.5 million households.

In addition, there is also the Hedong Salt Pond in Anyi County, which produces millions of stone pond salts annually.

In order to prepare for this battle, the Mongolian army hoarded 500,000 to 600,000 stones of grain, fodder and other materials in Jiangxian, Quwo and other cities, all of which were trophies of war. In addition, they also seized more than 80,000 large livestock including superior war horses;

There are still 20,000 people who migrated south and settled in Jinzhou (Pingyang Prefecture), and they were also taken into custody as prisoners of war.

The twenty-five counties are divided into three prefectures: Pingyang, Jiangzhou, and Hejin. In addition to Wen Bo, who appoints envoys and leads the military administration under the Pingyang prefecture system, officials such as military, administrative, prison and prison supervisors in the twenty-five counties of the two prefectures must be appointed as soon as possible to take over local affairs.

The battle between Zhiguan and Xingxing lasted for nearly a year, but most of the time the fighting took place in the deep gorges and valleys south of Jiangxian County and the Yuanqu Basin. Daliang soldiers and horses left the pass on the north slope of Wangwu Mountain and entered Fenshui River.

The battle in the river valley lasted only a short time.

The war's damage to local agricultural production was very limited. Feng Liao stayed to ensure that the more than 1.5 million Jin people could integrate into the rule of Daliang as quickly as possible, and to ensure that tens of millions of acres of cultivated land could be plowed in the spring and harvested in the autumn.

No delays.

Now is also the best opportunity to comprehensively implement many new systems in the Fenshui River Valley. It is necessary to set up township bureaus as carefully as possible to control the countryside. While local forces are in a state of disintegration, they should be completely suppressed and not given a chance to emerge.

Another key thing is to organize the production of salt ponds.

At present, Xuzhou produces 300,000 stone wells of salt per year in Wuchuan, but this is far less than what the people of Daliang can use. After the second year of Taihe, the annual salt import from Daliang through the Chuhuaidong Salt Field was more than 600,000 stone, and the amount increased year by year.

.

Subsequently, including the salt consumption in the Fenshui River Valley and Guanzhong areas, at least 1.2 million shi are used for farming in Daliang a year. If it is mainly imported from the Huaidong salt field, it will cost at least 2 million silver dollars each year.

Organize the salt people in Anyi as soon as possible and resume the production of salt in Hedongchi. This will save Daliang almost 100,000 and 200,000 silver dollars in salt purchase expenses every month.

Han Qian also determined the method of restoring production of Hedong Chi Salt before returning to Luoyang. Daliang No. 1 Savings Bureau and two local savings bureaus in Luoyang and Donghu recruited salt residents in Anyi to form salt trading companies for production.

The salt produced by the salt trading company will be resold by the salt merchants to various prefectures and counties after the Taxation Department adds a corresponding special tax to each Shichi salt.
