Quye Riverside, Linzhou.
Inju Castle was originally just a small fort in the valley of the Quye River, belonging to Katsushu, in the north of Ginju.
After Li Chao sent Wei Chi Gong to recover Yansui Yin, Wei Chi Gong went north to capture the cities of Yincheng, Liangu and Fugu in the south of Shengzhou, and built a city in the valley of the Quyechuan River, a tributary of the Yellow River, in the middle of the three cities.
Li Shimin specially issued an order to restore the southern part of Shengzhou and place it in Linzhou.
The state governance of Linzhou is located in the newly built city of Linzhou.
The city of Linzhou is located on the banks of the Quye River flowing in the southwest, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the military geographical location is quite important.
Controlling Linzhou chokes the main road of Xiazhou in the west, Shuozhou in the east, Shengzhou in the north, and Yinzhou in the south.
If the Turks in the front set dared to attack Lingzhou in a big westward direction, then Linzhou would be able to send troops to attack the Turkic Khan's court and force him not to easily divide his troops.
Standing at the head of Linzhou City and looking into the distance, the Great Wall of China comes from the southwest, passes through Linzhou, and goes to the northeast.
Towering beacon piers, far and near, if a mighty sentry stands on the top of the mountain.
Bounded by the Great Wall, two very different landscapes unfold in front of you.
The Great Wall is hilly and undulating.
Outside the Great Wall, there is a sea of sand stretching as far as the eye can see.
In Wei Chigong's report to Li Chao, he wrote, "The castle is strong, the terrain is high, and the abnormality is a danger set by heaven, which can be defended but not attacked."
Linzhou natural risk, not to be abandoned" In just over a month, from a small fort, it has been repaired and built into a fortified fortress.
Wei Chigong stood at the head of the city, very proud. is also the first meritorious minister of Xuanwu Gate, Li Chao added peace to the chapter, awarded the military department of Shangshu, and even became Jing Zhaoyin.
He Wei Chi Gong was only a big general, and because he punched Wang Junkuo, he was demoted from prison.
Now he has to be a manager under Li Chao.
But he also came up with real skills.
Li Chao does have the ability, this lieutenant Chi Gong is convinced, the half-moon slashing division has captured Lingzhou, he has done a good job, and he has a good command and strategy.
But he didn't eat dry rice either.
Li Chao gave him 6,000 soldiers, didn't he also capture the three states of Yansui and Yin all the way, and then conquered this Linzhou He was now only four hundred miles away from the court of the Turkic Dingxiang Khan.
Crossing the Yellow River, it only takes two days for the fast horse to reach the golden wolf tent of the Turkic Khan's court.
A nail-like one pierced under the noses of the Turks.
Guo Xiaoke stroked the city plate with his hand and said to Wei Chigong, "Lao Hei, why don't you say that this Turkic people don't come to such a good fortified city, we have worked hard to repair it, and this has been repaired, and if they don't come, they always feel bored."
I really want to look at the Turkic cavalry, under this fortified city, there is no choice but to feel aggrieved. ” Li Junxian and Guo Xiaoke had been in Wagang before, and their relationship was closer.
Hearing this, he also said, "Yes, the marshal sent us over, we have 20,000 soldiers and horses here now, if we can't fight, it's too boring." ” Jihu handsome Liu Gan stood aside, a little unable to interject.
He actually liked the current situation, he knew how powerful the Turks were, and he wished that the Turks would not come.
It's not good to live in peace in a few days, these guys are so belligerent.
Linyin Yansui four states, garrisoned 20,000 troops.
Now these four people are all leading a post of marching chief, and also concurrently serving as a post of assassin historian, in addition, they also unify the soldiers and horses, serving as the envoy of the soldiers and horses, 18,000 soldiers and horses in the four compartments, and an artillery unit of 2,000 people, each with an artillery battalion, which Li Chao transferred to them, which can be regarded as enhancing their firepower.
After Liu Gan and other generals and colonels saw how powerful these artillerymen were at manipulating ballistas, they were very jealous of these artillerymen.
And after Wei Chigong and Guo Xiaoke had these four artillery battalions, they became more and more embarrassed.
All day long, I was looking forward to the Turks going south.
"If you want me to say, let's just go north.
If the Turks don't come, let's go."
Wei Chigong looked into the distance with a telescope, but did not answer.
He knew that Guo Xiaoke and Li Junxian were deliberately joking with themselves, they didn't really want to go north or anything at all, they just wanted to see their own jokes.
Defeating Linzhou is actually the limit of the Tang Army.
The terrain here, there are great walls, river valleys and mountain peaks, and the city can be defended by danger, and it is not afraid of the Turkic cavalry.
If you go further north, the terrain is not only difficult to guard logistics and supplies, but also too close to the Turks, as soon as the Turkic cavalry comes, the terrain is difficult to defend, and it is very easy to be surrounded and killed by a lone army.
Guo Xiaoke and Li Junxian are both battle-hardened guys, how could they not know.
It's just that these two guys are deliberately disgusting themselves.
He knew that among the new dynasties, the Shandong generals were the most powerful mountain, and they were even more powerful than the generals from the Guanlongmen valve.
He Wei Chi Gong was originally Liu Wuzhou's person, and he was not with Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting, Jin Guo Xiaoke and other old Shandong generals.

And this time in Linzhou, Li Chao asked him to preside over the military affairs in the east.
He and Guo Xiaoke and the other four are the same marching chiefs, and they also have their own heads, and they are also inspecting the history of the school, but they are mainly based on his lieutenant Chi Gong, of course they are not convinced.
Liu Gan is a general, but he doesn't dare to have any opinions, Guo Xiaoke and Li Junxian, but they have to stab two sentences if they have nothing to do.
The current pattern of Linzhou is around the Great Wall and the Quye River as the core, along the Quye River, in the north and south of Linzhou 20 miles away, each has a city, the north is the valley, the south is the silver city.
The three cities are connected and support each other.
Farther to the northeast, there is also a Fugu Castle.
However, only a small number of soldiers and horses were stationed there for guarding.
"What's the urgency of going to war, the marshal is already ready to do a big battle, as soon as he makes a move, our side will also send troops.
When the time comes, the two of them can be left and right pioneers, and don't be cowardly at that time. ” "Lao Hei, you speak nicely, don't you want to instigate us to be the kind of people who coax" Guo Xiaoke snorted. stayed in Linzhou all day and had nothing to do, so it was left to take Wei Chi Gong to relieve his boredom.
"But it's strange to say, didn't the marshal say what he was going to do last time.
How is it that until now, it is still in preparation.
It's been too long to prepare, this isn't the style of the handsome.
The last time I opened the Liang Division, it only took half a month to send troops from Chang'an to kill the Liang Division.
It's been half a month since I said I'd started working this time, so why haven't I started yet. ” "My big knife is already hungry and thirsty," Guo Xiaoke said.
"That's what I'm going to say, don't steal my words."
Li Junxian said with a smile.
"I heard that Xiangguo is still repairing Ningyuan City, rushing to make ballistas and warships, I guess I am not ready enough."
Liu Gan interjected on the side.
Now more than 200,000 Jihu people in the valleys of Yansuiyin and other places have registered with the nearby government under their call, registered with the Tang Dynasty, received the identity card of the Tang Dynasty, and even registered and issued deeds to their fields, and also granted them supplementary fields.
They divided the fields of the Tang Dynasty, and they became the teachers of the Tang Dynasty, and they had to pay taxes every year in the future.
Of course, there are advantages, and the advantage is that in the future, the government will no longer go into the mountains to round them up.
There will be no slave catchers from those powerful nobles who will come into the mountains to capture them as slaves and sell them.
It's just that they won't be allowed to go out of the mountains to rob anymore.
Many strong men were also selected as militias and joined the Archery Society, the Broadsword Team, and the Spear Society.
If the imperial court needed it, they also had to bring their own dry food to the government to get weapons to participate in the defense of the city or to transport grain.
There are also some of them who are selected as village soldiers, which is a little more advanced.
When recruited, they will leave their counties to fight with the army, and they can also get some allowances, and they can get booty and rewards for fighting. is not as good as the treatment of the government soldiers, but it can be regarded as having the opportunity to earn fame by fighting and be rewarded with spoils.
Jihu Qingzhuang is very willing to become a township soldier, and farming is not the dream life of these Jihu young people.
Killing people and setting fires, well, fighting and making meritorious contributions is their yearning.
That kind of life is more exciting, more enthusiastic, and easier to get ahead.
"The marshal has his own plans, so let's just obey the military order."
Wei Chigong glanced back at Guo Xiaoke and Li Junxian, his eyes full of disgust.
"If you are really idle and have nothing to do, then learn from the festival commander, and also take people to fish in the Yellow River and Quye River.
The two of you, one for fishing and the other for salting and drying, just so prepare more salted dried fish for us to prepare for the army's rations.
Well, General Liu, you are familiar with the terrain here, and you are all good hunters, you can take your men down to hunt, prepare a little beast meat, and by the way, you can also train soldiers. ” Guo Xiaoke, Li Junxian and Liu Gan all looked at each other a little, our dignified general, you let us go fishing, hunting, dried salted fish, dried animal meat "What about you?"
"I, Ben will naturally be in the center and in charge of commanding.
If the Turks come, don't they have to have someone who can calm the scene?"
When he said this, Guo Xiaoke almost waved his fist.
Hebei.
The military capital is closed.
Li Shiji drank Li Jiagou's second pot head, while chewing the five-spice sauce beef from Li Ji's cooked food shop, which was quite comfortable.
"What does the Turki Khan mean?"
Li Shiji asked the Turkic man in front of him.
"Back to Cao Guogong, my Khan is also quite willing to Cao Guogong's proposal to set up a border city in Youzhou and start a mutual market.
It's just that my Khan also has a little request, that is, he hopes to change the location of the mutual market from Youzhou City to outside the military capital. ” "Changed to outside the military capital" "You can set up a new border city outside the military capital, I heard that Zhao Guogong did the same when he was in Longxi.

A new city will be set up above the border, so that it will be convenient for people from both families. ” Li Shiji smiled, "It's not possible that your Khan is still afraid to come to Youzhou to Yi City, I will rob you of your things."
"Of course it wasn't meant that, just for convenience."
"That's it, that's okay.
Just choose outside the military capital pass, the address, just choose the place where the Sanggan River and the water intersect outside the military capital pass, where there are 30 miles outside the military capital pass, a horse and a flat river, near the river and water, set up a market, we trade with each other, exchange goods.
Wouldn't you be glad that you bring cow and horse skins, fur, medicinal materials, gold and silver, and that we bring silk, cloth, tea, porcelain, salt, sugar, and wine, and that everyone takes what they need?"
"What Cao Guogong said is exactly what he said, it is really good to communicate with each other and take what they need.
Then let's settle it."
"Well, it's decided, the first mutual market, it's better to choose the beginning of next month.
On the first day of the first month of May, we traded in the mutual market between the Feishui and the Sanggan River outside the Jundu Pass. ” "It's a deal."
"A word is a certainty" The envoy of Tuli left satisfied, and when he left, he exchanged his war horse for a lot of tea, wine, sugar and salt.
"Cao Gong, aren't we going to fight with the Turks, why are we still talking to them about the mutual market at this time?"
"You kid, learn more when you have time.
It's true that we want to fight the Turks, but how to fight is very learned.
Turki is a Turkic little khan, powerful, but the relationship with the Eastern Turkic Khan Jieli is not good, Jieli is his uncle, but Tuli thinks that Jieli has robbed him of his throne.
Tuli is also a powerful faction, of course, he is not very convinced.
If we take the opportunity of trading with the Tuli mutual market to win over this kid, maybe there will be a chance to separate their uncle and nephew.
You say, if we can divide and divide their uncle and nephew, wouldn't it be extremely helpful for us to attack the Turks, if we can pull the Turks to our side and join forces to fight Jieli, then we will make a lot of money."
The lieutenant was stunned.
"That's fine, too" "Why can't I use this trick or I learned it from Li Sanlang, the mutual market is far more than just trade, this is still a channel of communication.
Through trade, we will have the opportunity to contact Tuli and have the opportunity to persuade him."
"Gao, Cao Gong is really smart" "Hahaha, your kid's sycophant is too obvious, learn more when you go back." t1706231537:
