Chapter 82: Pacifying the River


The operation to exterminate the Lanzhou army, the Xia army went very smoothly, this time Li Liangzuo almost did not go to the battlefield in person, just commanded from afar, in fact, as the king of a country, Li Liangzuo also understood the truth that the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, after all, Li Liangzuo's life was related to the future of the entire Western Xia Kingdom. \ "Your Majesty, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng can't hold it anymore, and they are about to surrender to our army," Li Yi came to Li Liangzuo's side and said excitedly.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "You tell Hua Ma and Mu Zheng that if they want to surrender, it's okay, let him come to see me alone." ” "Yes, the last general commands."

Li Yi took the military order and said.

On the other side, on the hill where the Lanzhou army was besieged, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng were waiting for Li Liangzuo's news, and whether Li Liangzuo accepted the surrender of the Lanzhou army, which was related to the life and death of 30,000 soldiers, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng did not dare to have the slightest carelessness.

The adjutant general hurriedly came to Hua Ma and Mu Zheng and said, "General, the Xia army has sent news that it can accept our surrender, but the general wants to go to see their emperor in person. ” "General, you can't go, maybe this is a trap for Li Liangzuo."

Another lieutenant stopped Hua Ma and Mu Zheng and said.

Hua Ma and Mu Zheng smiled and said: "Do you think that in our current situation, it is necessary for Li Liangzuo to set a trap for us, I will go to meet Li Liangzuo, you must restrain our Lanzhou army here." ” "Yes, please rest assured, General."

Several lieutenants said to Hua Ma and Mu Zheng.

Under the leadership of Li Yi, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng soon came to Li Liangzuo's camp, when Hua Ma and Mu Zheng saw Li Liangzuo, they were taken aback, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng didn't expect Li Liangzuo to be so young, which made Hua Ma and Mu Zheng admire Li Liangzuo even more, and at the same time, Li Liangzuo was also looking at this Tibetan general; Hua Ma and Mu Zheng are tall and burly at the age of thirty-five, and they are heroic, and they are a rare military general at first glance.

"Sin will visit Your Majesty."

Hua Ma and Mu Zheng respectfully saluted Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said to Hua Ma and Mu Zheng: "General, please get up, I have always been outspoken, what do you say Since the general has decided to belong to me, I naturally welcome it, but the 30,000 soldiers under the general's command need to be disarmed, and in addition, I have to ask the general to repair a few letters to persuade the leaders of other state capitals and tribes to surrender; I can be like a general here, and it is inconvenient for me to take the initiative to join me, but if I resist desperately, then don't blame me for being unkind. ” "Sin will do as His Majesty commands."

Hua Ma and Mu Zheng said to Li Liangzuo.

In this way, Li Liangzuo disarmed the remaining Lanzhou army very smoothly, and since Hua Ma and Mu Zheng have surrendered, it also marks that Lanzhou has fallen into the hands of Li Liangzuo, and after receiving 30,000 Lanzhou troops, Li Liangzuo began the next step; It can be said that there is no opponent of the Xia army in the current Hehuang area.

Therefore, Li Liangzuo divided his troops again, except for the 10,000 personal guard battalion to follow Li Liangzuo to Lanzhou, the rest of the 50,000 troops began to move south, in this case, within three days, Hezhou, Xizhou, Taozhou fell into the hands of Li Liangzuo, and at this time Li Liangzuo had come to Lanzhou Thorn Mansion.

From the war with the Eight Prefectures of Hehuang to the occupation of the land of the Eight Prefectures of Hehuang, it took less than ten days before and after, others are the next city and Li Liangzuo is the next state, with the Eight Prefectures of Hehuang occupied by the Xia army, Li Liangzuo also knew the wealth of these eight states, after more than 20 years of careful care, the population of the Eight Prefectures of Hehuang reached 1.5 million, even if the population of this war was reduced, it reached about 1.3 million, as for weapons, armor, grain and grass, it was even more.

Lanzhou Thorn History.

Li Yi came to Li Liangzuo with a pile of account books, put the account books on Li Liangzuo's dragon case and said, "Your Majesty, this is all the account books of the eight states of Hehuang, as well as taxes and population, are all recorded here. ” Li Liangzuo rolled his eyes and said to Li Yi: "You won't tidy it up, why do you let me count it myself?"

Li Yi scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, the last general has already sent someone to calculate, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will ask in detail, and the last general's brain is stupid and can't remember everything, so I brought it all." ” "Then you should probably tell me about it," Li Liangzuo said lazily while lying on the dragon chair.

Li Yi reported to Li Liangzuo: "This time we have made a huge harvest in Hehuang, including more than 50 million yuan of money and silver, a total of 8 million stones of grain and grass in various prefectures, more than 200,000 catties of refined iron, more than 300,000 high-grade war horses, and the rest of the weapons, armor, and inferior horses. ” "How much is the tax in the Hehuang area every year," Li Liangzuo asked Li Yi.

Li Yi looked at it and replied: "The sum of all kinds of taxes is more than 15 million yuan. ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "It is said that Hehuang is rich, but I didn't expect it to be so rich, a land of Hehuang and Bazhou will be set on half of my country, Li Yi, you immediately send someone to spread my will, let the emperor send a large number of excellent officials to the Hehuang area, if this place is taken care of, we will be like a tiger in the future; At the same time, it was decreed that the border army would be sent to take over the defense of Hehuang. ” "Yes, the last general will send someone to do it."

Li Yi immediately replied; "By the way, Your Majesty, Chahan and others have come to report that our army has arrived in Baishui, and ask Your Majesty if your army's army will continue to move south."

Li Liangzuo straightened up and said to Li Yi: "Spread the decree to Chahan, the place where the army entered the analysis of the fang, where it is the same as Qingtang City, it was once the hometown of the ancestors of our party, and it must be subdued; From now on, the plateau area north of Jishi Mountain is the territory of our Great Xia Kingdom. ” "Yes, the last general commands."

Li Yi knelt down on one knee and took the military order.

After Li Yi left, a sergeant came in and reported to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, General Hua Ma and Mu Zheng ask to see you. ” "Let him in," Li Liangzuo said, putting down the fold in his hand.

After the sergeant left, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng quickly came in and saluted Li Liangzuo: "The last general, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ” "Aiqing is flat, please sit down," Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "This is not a court, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Your Majesty, I don't know why Your Majesty Xuanmo is coming" Hua Ma and Mu Zheng sat on the chair and asked Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo walked down from the dragon chair, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng also followed, Li Liangzuo said as he walked: "Now that the river has been flattened, all places have been annexed, and all the big things have basically been dealt with, but these surrendered troops have not been dealt with; The combat strength of these soldiers is worrying, and it is impossible for me to recruit them all, and I mean that you will select 50,000 strong soldiers from among these people to form a Hehuang Mansion army; These Hehuang troops are stationed in various states in peacetime, and in wartime they are under your unified command, and I have selected some sergeants from the new army to serve as officers, and the training plan is drawn up by them, you see how this goes."

Hua Ma and Mu Zheng didn't expect Li Liangzuo to trust him so much, so he immediately took the military order and said, "The last general will take the order." ” Li Liangzuo smiled with great satisfaction: "As the general of my Xia Army, some of them must follow the rules of our Xia Army, and you, as the commander of the Hehuang Army, need to go to Xingqing Mansion to study for three years, do you have any opinions on this." ” Hua Ma and Mu Zheng immediately said: "The last general has no opinion, everything is under His Majesty's orders." ” Li Liangzuo was very satisfied with the performance of Hua Ma and Mu Zheng, and this attitude of a victor gave Li Liangzuo a great sense of superiority
