Chapter 1241

At the beginning of February of the fifth year of Jian'an in the year of 200, after a few months of rest, all the troops of the Tang state had been reorganized, and even the new Shangdang had been basically on the right track. With the efforts of Shangdang's Taishou Tianzheng, the internal affairs of Shangdang's cities basically stabilized. In particular, the people who have migrated from Shangai continue to do so after the new year. After these people were resettled, they played a great role in the stability of the party.

After the Spring Festival, Tian Zheng sent people to borrow thousands of healthy oxen and horses from the surrounding three counties, which made the people of Shangdang more confident. In addition, since last year, Huangfu Jianshou, Li le and captain Zhou Shi have been working together to train troops while constantly sending troops to wipe out the mountain bandits in Shangdang.

Not only that, since the capture of Shangdang county last year, Huangfu Chaobo ordered that food and materials from the surrounding three counties entered Shangdang continuously. In addition, several caravans under the control of Shaofu and the caravans of other counties in the Tang Dynasty were constantly transporting all kinds of materials to Shangdang. After several measures, the people of Shangdang soon recognized the rule of Tang Dynasty.

In the main hall, Huangfu Chaobo was discussing with several important officials. What they were discussing was the issue of sending troops to join the prefecture. After returning from the Shangdang party last year, Guo Jia and Pang Tong made several carefully deliberated decisions. There were several reasons why they decided to send troops to the county.

The first reason is that after the Shangdang war, Chen Gong had blocked almost all possible ways of attack around Taiyuan. If the Tang Army wanted to attack Zhao, in addition to attacking several passes, it had to go north to Shangai and then west to Taiyuan. However, one of the ways to go to AI is that the road to the north is too difficult. There are hundreds of miles of dangerous mountain roads from Shangdang territory to Shangai. If the army is walking, it will be very difficult. Another point is that Huangfu Chaobo didn't want to expose the fact that the Heishan army had taken refuge in himself.

If the state of Tang sent troops to Shangjun, and even successfully controlled the whole area of the Yellow River Jizi Bay in Hetao area, it could support the allies of Wuyuan and Shuofang in the north, attack Taiyuan and Yanmen in the hinterland of Bingzhou in the East, and threaten Zuo fengxu in Guanzhong in the south, while in the West it was the north of Bingzhou.

The second reason is that the situation in Guanzhong is not clear now, so it is not appropriate for the Tang state to enter it too early, so as not to arouse the joint opposition of the three families. Before that, it is better to control this place that can attack from all sides, no matter which side to fight.

Of course, Shangjun also has his disadvantages. He can attack from all sides, but he is also attacked from all sides. However, Huangfu Chaobo didn't worry much, because he didn't want to run here immediately after the occupation. After the Tang army occupied Hetao, they only used it as a springboard for sending troops. As for business development, it had to wait until the central Shaanxi plain and Bingzhou were pacified.

"How is the army getting ready?" Huangfu Chaobo looks at Xu Shudao;

although Xu Shu is guangluxun, his other duty is to assist Zhu Jun, the deputy of the national captain, in charge of the army.

"King Hui, general Tian Yu's Yingyang battalion has been fully prepared. According to the original plan, the troops of Yingyang battalion are two ordinary infantry schools, one crossbow Army School and one cavalry school, totaling 20000 soldiers. The rest of the troops, led by general Shegan himself, have gathered secretly in Hongnong city. They can cross the river and reach mujindu only when the river is a little stable these days. "

"Ten thousand Xiliang cavalry and five thousand soldiers from baotao camp, Huaxiong General of Hanoi County, have quietly arrived at Jiguan, but it is difficult to walk because the snow on the road of panguanxing has not melted, so they are still preparing to pass through it. However, according to their itinerary, they should be able to reach Hedong before the 20th."

According to the prior discussion, the three battalions of Yingyang camp of Tianyu in Hedong, xiongqu camp of Hongnong Shegan and baotao camp of Huaxiong in Hanoi sent troops to attack Shangjun. Tian Yu was the main general, and she Gan and Hua Xiong were the Deputy generals. Considering that Jiang Shan had a powerful military adviser, FA Zheng, Huang Fu Chao Bo specially appointed Pang Tong as his military adviser.

In this way, there were 45000 soldiers and horses, and 5000 guards and 10000 craftsmen were mobilized from Hedong. The total number of soldiers and horses was 60000.

Originally, except for the soldiers of Hedong County who crossed the river directly from caisangjin, the rest of the soldiers were directly transported to caisangjin by the water army of Tang army. But now the river downstream of Fenglingdu has just begun to thaw, and the river north of Fenglingdu has not thawed, so they can't sail directly. Even Hongnong's soldiers have to choose one to cross the river At the right time.

According to the original plan, the army will complete the assembly before February 15, and begin to cross the river from caisangjin on February 20. Now it is only early February, so there is plenty of time.

Hearing that all the troops and horses could arrive on time, Huangfu Chaobo was also relieved. He turned to Guo Jia and said, "what's the situation of the three alien forces in Shangjun? What has changed? "

"Back to the king, after a few months of detailed inquiry, the situation of Shangjun has been completely clear. As we have known before, Shangjun is still controlled by the three forces, namely, Jiangshan, the rest being the king and the hegemony. Jiangshan is the most powerful one, because he was the nephew of jiangpei, the former governor of Hedong. When he left Hedong, he took away 20000 of the most elite troops in Hedong. In recent years, he has occupied four cities: Fushi, gaonu and Qiuci in Shangjun, and Huanyin in Xihe. There is also a pass between Fushi and Qiuci, which is called Yulin pass. ""According to the information from the shadow, Jiangshan has about 30000 troops, including 10000 cavalry, 10000 guards of four cities and one pass, and the rest are elite soldiers It can be said that the fighting is still very strong. "

"Only 30000 troops?" Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. You know, at the beginning, Jiangshan took at least 20000 elites from Hedong. After a few years, the troops were still only 30000, which is really not much.

In fact, Huangfu Chaobo only looked at the situation of Jiangshan with the cities under his control. According to the situation of the Tang Dynasty and even the whole Central Plains, there were only 30000 troops in a large area with four cities.

However, the actual situation is that the conditions of Shangjun are far from those of Zhongyuan city. If it were not for Fazheng, Jiangshan would not have 30000 troops.
