Two days later, Xue Wanjun gathered 10,000 cavalry and attacked Fuqi City from the north of the West Sea. Li Jing led 5,000 infantry and attacked Fuqi City from the south of the West Sea.
In fact, there are not many troops around the West Sea at all. The rest are the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, as well as a large number of cattle and sheep.
When the two armies joined together, a total of more than 200,000 cattle, sheep and miscellaneous livestock were seized, and more than 30 tribal leaders were captured alive.
Li Jing looked at the Three-Chen Flag flying above Fuqi City and couldn't help being surprised. The Three-Chen Flag bearer, the sun, moon and stars, represents the most noble people in China and can only be invited out on the most important occasions. The King of Shu should not So flamboyant.
Then, he smiled bitterly. The success of destroying the country was enough to raise this flag to show off the enemy's city.
"It's clear that you are below, and Hehe is above. The three-chen banner shows how clear it is."
The city gate opened, and three or five war horses rushed out of the city and came to Li Jing's side.
"General Manager Li, we have been waiting for you for a long time. The King of Shu has invited you." Li Bingdao came to greet Li Jing personally.
From the public perspective, Li Ke had given Li Jing a great deal of face. After all, Li Ke was the prince and now he had occupied the enemy's home base.
Li Jing went to the city alone to meet the King of Shu.
In the palace, Li Ke had already held a banquet to cleanse Li Jing.
"Father-in-law, what are the casualties?"
Li Jing was a little ashamed. He had heard that Li Ke captured Fuyun Khan, Fuyun's queen, civil servants, generals and nobles alive without spending a single soldier. He also beheaded the Prime Minister of Tuyuhun, King Tianzhu.
Thousands of cattle and sheep were captured, as well as 30,000 intact horses.
However, he injured more than 30,000 people and 15,000 horses, which cost a lot of money.
"I am ashamed that I have lost your majesty's trust." Li Jing bowed and said.
"If it's a war, there will be casualties. What's more, my father-in-law is facing Murong Xiaojun's elite. I heard that General Xue was seriously injured. I wonder what the situation is?"
"Father-in-law, I have deployed 80,000 troops on the sandbank to attack Gaochang State. I will leave this place to you. As for the cattle, sheep and captured materials, they can be sold to the caravans in the Central Plains. They will head here soon... "
"This is a list. Except for the caravans on this list, don't give them a hair from the others."
Li Jing took the list and couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth. The caravans on this list all followed the King of Shu.
After this incident, those aristocratic families who are against the DPRK may cry.
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid the food war on my father's side is about to end. I have an urgent letter of 800 miles. Father-in-law, please sign and we will jointly send it to Chang'an."
Li Jing bowed and said: "Very good, it's time to end."
Li Ke bowed and saluted: "Father-in-law, everything here is left to you. I will leave for Shazhou tonight. After Hou Junji and General Li Daozong arrive here, my father-in-law will write to Songtsen Gampo to ask him how many As quickly as possible, get out of Tuyuhun territory."
"If he doesn't comply, he will bear the consequences."
"My lord, I obey."
After saying that, Li Jing felt something was wrong. This Longyou Chief Manager seemed to be him. Why was he being carried away by his son-in-law?
"Your Highness, please pay attention to your safety. You must not do such things like this alone in the future."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will pay attention to it."
After Li Ke handed over the affairs of Fuqi City, he took his confidants, Taoists and Buddhists, and more than 15,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry to the north of Ganzhou and headed for Shazhou.
After Li Jing signed the battle report, he sent someone to Chang'an and sent Li Ke away overnight. BIquGe.biz
At the same time, the prisoners of war in Tuyuhun were also sent to Chang'an City one after another.
Chang'an City.
In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin laughed arrogantly.
The day before yesterday, the price of grain had risen to 200 coins and one stone. The Taicang in Chang'an City had been emptied, and the main warehouses in nearby states and counties had also been emptied.
Many wealthy families and wealthy merchants were jealous of the profits brought by food and joined the food war. They sold off their workshops, caravans, or properties and houses to hoard food.
It is said that the Li family of Zhaojun has sold all the shops in the capital, even sold the property of Zhaojun's ancestral estate, and sold the largest caravan to a mysterious person.
Fan Yang's Lu family was even more ruthless than Zhaojun's Li family. After they sold off their property, they borrowed 500,000 gu from a mysterious man using their family's reputation to buy grain.
In today's Chang'an City, no matter how much food comes in, even if the food price is as high as 200 yuan, it will still be robbed in an instant.
This morning, the headline on the front page of Datang Daily clearly stated that the imperial court urgently transported two million kilograms of grain from Taicang from the south, and it will arrive in Chang'an City in the near future, so that the people do not need to panic about food safety.
What’s more, the weather is going well this year, and new grains have been put into storage in Sichuan, Sichuan, Jiangnan, and Jiangdong regions. States and counties have urgently allocated 3 million kilograms of grains, which will arrive in the near future.
In Henan Province and Hebei Province, the food crops in the fields have matured, and the people's rations are guaranteed.
But the last words were to ask all the people to kneel down to Chang'an City and thank the current His Majesty Li Shimin.
Li Shimin issued a decree in the Datang Daily that all Tang people would receive a 20% tax reduction for this autumn harvest.
As soon as the Datang Daily came out, everyone who was collecting grain became uneasy.
What's happening here?
Didn’t we say before that the south was severely affected this year, and refugees appeared everywhere, exchanging food for food?
Who the hell is spreading rumors?
"Quickly, sell all the food you have hoarded..."
"Quick, no more hoarding food today, sell it for two hundred cents, whatever you want..."
The small traders were almost crying. These were all their belongings. Even though the food was hard currency, there was so much food that they could not finish it for several years and could not be saved at all.
Rich businessmen and wealthy families sneered at the promises made by Datang Daily and Li Shimin. How about five million kilograms of grain?
They have already hoarded so much food and don't care about the five million catties.
But in order for someone to be scared back by this news and affect the overall situation, these big guys got together again.
In Yangzhou, Luoyang, Youyan, Sichuan and other places, aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen did not have enough cash, but the local grain reserves were sufficient. For a time, everyone suffered heavy losses, but in the end, the court made a lot of money. Bo Man, this kind of situation must not happen to them.
Guanzhong is no different from other places. The population of Guanzhong exceeds one million, but the food supply is limited.
The most important thing is that the Lieutenant General of the DPRK sold all the last grains. The Northwest War was so corrupt that a large amount of grains would definitely be needed.
In a few days, the DPRK and the Central Government will not be able to collect enough military rations, so they will buy the food in their hands at a high price.
"Everyone, we must hold firm and must not retreat at this time. Once someone retreats, we will be in doom."
"Yes, we can't back down."
"The content in Datang Daily is not credible. The disaster in the south was reported a month ago. There can be no mistake."
"Even if there is a bumper harvest this year for grain from Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Jiangdong area, even if they deliver it, it will take at least a month, wait a month, hahaha..."
…
A group of spokesmen from aristocratic families praised each other again and prepared to take the food transported from North Korea to Guanzhong tomorrow.
Just when everyone was immersed in their own joy, from Lanzhou to Qinzhou, more than a dozen cavalry teams were carried along the way, carrying flags and shouting to everyone: "Our army has won a great victory, killed 100,000 enemies, and captured There are countless cattle and sheep…”
"Tuyuhun Khan was captured alive, and all of Tuyuhun's ministers, generals, and noble clan members were captured alive and will be transported to Chang'an from now on."
Pedestrians passing by were all overjoyed. It had been propagated that the Tang Dynasty had fallen into a whirlpool of war, and that the northwest would be unrest. The countries in the Western Regions were pressing down on Hexi, and Hexi was in danger.
What they were most worried about was that the Tang army would not be able to hold it back and would be defeated, and their people would suffer the suffering of war again.
Unexpectedly, the Tang army decided the outcome in one battle. Tuyuhun was defeated and even their Khan was captured alive.
On the official road to the northwest, groups of soldiers rushed to Chang'an City quickly.
Finally before dark, a group of cavalry arrived at the west gate of Chang'an City: "Our army has a great victory, our army has a great victory, we killed one hundred thousand enemies and captured Fuyun Khan alive."
"Our army won a great victory, killing hundreds of thousands of enemies and capturing countless cattle and sheep."
