After defeating Xue Rengao, Liang Jun spent a lot of time cleaning up the mess.
Because judging from the military strength at the time, Xue Ju and Xue Rengao and his son were stronger than Liang Jun, and a large number of cavalry were also captured in this battle.
Later generations once asked, what step could Liang Gaozu have achieved without King Qin?
The conclusion of most people's careful analysis is: I am afraid that no one will remember the separatist regime of Liang, because it was probably destroyed during the Battle of Qianshuiyuan against Xue Rengao.
After all, in the first battle of Qianshuiyuan, King Qin fell ill, and Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, the two founding heroes, almost led all the elite Liang troops to death.
Later, King Qin went to war again, bringing with him almost all the available troops of the Liang Dynasty. If he lost again, the Liang Dynasty would really be destroyed.
And now, such an extraordinary achievement has been successfully obtained by Li Hongyun.
Li Hongyun was still a little unsure about how to deal with these surrendered generals, so he asked King Qin for his opinion.
The King of Qin's opinion was: surrender all of them, and still hand over these troops to the leadership of the enemy generals such as Xue Rengao brothers and Zong Luohu.
Many people tried to dissuade him, thinking that this would be very risky, but Li Hongyun thought about it and decided to do it the way King Qin did.
Because in history, the King of Qin always treated surrendered generals like this.
Whether it was Zong Luohu at this time, Yuchi Jingde later, or some later Turkic generals, he used people with confidence and trust, and indeed these people lived up to his trust and were willing to die in return.
Therefore, Li Hongyun copied King Qin's answer and also showed a very broad mind to accept these surrendered generals.
While returning to Chang'an, another thing happened that surprised King Qin.
The army marched to Binzhou, and the people sent by Liang Gaozu to greet them arrived.
And this person is Li Mi.
At this time, the battle between Li Mi and Wang Shichong was over. Li Mi won countless battles, but in the most critical battle, he lost all his capital and profits.
So Li Mi had no choice but to surrender to the Liang Dynasty.
But Liang Gaozu's mind was far behind that of King Qin. Whether it was towards Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande later, or towards Li Mi now, he was generally mean.
Dou Jiande was killed directly in the downtown area, forcing Liu Heitai of Hebei to rebel again;
Wang Shichong, the King of Qin originally promised not to kill him, but Liang Gaozu apparently let him go, then turned around and hinted to his enemies to kill him, and only scolded him a few words afterwards;
Li Mi came to serve sincerely. The history books record that "Liang Gaozu was very happy", but in fact, he was only given the position of Guanglu Qing.
What does Guang Luqing do? In charge of the palace entrance, tent utensils, meals for officials and court meetings, etc.
It can also be seen as making him the head chef of the palace.
Of course Li Mi was unhappy, so he plotted a rebellion and was eventually executed.
Although Li Mi's rebellion was a suicide attempt, it was somewhat insulting for Liang Gaozu to give such a separatist leader the position of Guanglu Qing.
Of course, that was all for the future, and Li Mi had just surrendered at this time.
Liang Gaozu immediately sent him to Binzhou to greet the kings of Qin and Qi who had just returned from victory.
In the process, Liang Gaozu obviously also thought of what King Qi said when he raised troops in Jinyang.
"Li Mi, although he has many bandits and bandits, is full of internal conflicts and will eventually be defeated, so there is nothing to worry about."
How long has it been? It has already been fulfilled!
You know, when they raised troops in Jinyang, Li Mi was the most powerful and seemed to be a strong competitor to dominate the world. Wang Shichong, on the other hand, was beaten so hard by Li Mi that he could not hold his head up and had no hope of winning.
Even when Li Mi wrote to Liang Gaozu, Liang Gaozu could only reply reluctantly and humbly.
But now, Li Mi had lost to Wang Shichong and came to seek refuge like a bereaved dog.
This shows that King Qi has a sharp eye!
In addition, when King Qin was seriously ill, King Qi succeeded King Qin and won a great victory. Xue Ju's power was completely wiped out in one battle, which further made Liang Gaozu look at his fourth son with admiration.
Ordinarily, if a family has one cheating son, it would be like smoke rising from the ancestral graves. But now that there are two cheating sons, it would be like the ancestral graves are breathing fire!
In this case, it is useless to wipe out the world!
…
Li Mi rode a post horse to Binzhou. He saw banners flying, military majesty solemn, and generals surrounding him. Two young generals came like stars over the moon.
Those were the kings of Qin and Qi who had returned from victory.
The two of them were walking side by side. The one on the right was King Qin. He was dressed in bright light armor and looked majestic. He really looked like a dragon and a phoenix, like the sun in the sky.
The one on the left is King Qi. He is wearing a white robe and silver armor, and he looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. There seems to be nothing special about him.
However, the King of Qin had special respect for him, and even vaguely respected him.
Li Mi couldn't help being shocked.
In the original history, when Li Mi saw the King of Qin here, he was frightened and admired him, and privately said to Yin Kaishan: "You are the true Ying Lord! Otherwise, how can you determine the disaster?"
But now, he not only saw the domineering King of Qin, but also saw the King of Qi who was respectful even to the King of Qin. This shock was beyond words.
Although I don’t know how powerful this King of Qi is, how can the young man who has King Qin be so respectful be a mediocre person?
…
Liang Jun returned triumphantly and went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to show his victory.
The first achievement of this battle was naturally the King of Qi. Liang Gaozu was never one to begrudge rewards to his son, so he directly named the fifteen-year-old boy the Shangshu Ling of Xingtai of Shaanxi Province and the General of Zuo Wuhou.
Historically, these rewards were all given to the King of Qin, but the King of Qin had indeed been playing soy sauce in this battle, so in the process of judging merit and rewards, he only added titles on the original basis, unlike the King of Qi who soared into the sky. .
But King Qin did not have any complaints about this, but felt that it was reasonable and reasonable.
Because in his opinion, King Qi's ability to win this battle has surpassed his own.
If he were to fight Xue Ju, it would have taken more than two months to clear the country before launching a fierce offensive. However, the King of Qi was able to accurately calculate the date when Xue Ju fell ill and died suddenly, and it took more than a month to completely resolve the battle.
After fighting such a magical battle, there is nothing to say about being above him.
However, Liang Gaozu was worried about the specific distribution of troops.
Because according to the original historical development, after the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, basically all the troops and horses were controlled by the King of Qin.
After that, whether they were fighting against Liu Wuzhou or against Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, they were basically fought with an overwhelming number of soldiers, and could only be led by the King of Qin.
After all, King Qin's record has shown that only by letting him lead the entire army can we ensure victory in every battle for national destiny.
But this time things are different.
The Battle of Qianshuiyuan was the first battle for national destiny after the founding of the Liang Dynasty. Although the King of Qin had made many military exploits before, it was in this critical battle that the King of Qi emerged and gained full merit.
If he continues to hand over all his troops to King Qin, it will definitely be unfair to King Qi;
But it would not be appropriate to completely deny the King of Qin and hand over all the troops to the King of Qi just because of this battle.
After struggling, Li Hongyun, who played the role of King Qi, took the initiative to give a solution.
Divide the troops!
Since both sons are so powerful, let's fight each other.
Li Hongyun took the initiative to take tens of thousands of troops and some generals to guard Jinyang and be wary of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang in the north. The King of Qin led another group of troops to try to escape and have a chance to attack Wang Shichong who occupied Luoyang.
This proposal is of course very stupid.
Because judging from the subsequent situation, Wang Shichong's side was obviously more difficult to fight.
In real history, King Qin first destroyed Liu Wuzhou, expanded his power, and recovered Yuchi Jingde and other powerful generals, and then went to conquer Wang Shichong.
That's it, it's still full of dangers, and the fight is quite difficult.
Although Liu Wuzhou's side was also difficult to fight, on the one hand, it was because Jinyang was lost at that time, which gave Liu Wuzhou a ready-made base area, and several waves of reinforcements were sent, so the situation was so difficult when King Qin took over.
Now asking Li Hongyun to fight Wang Shichong is purely free of charge.
But for him to fight Liu Wuzhou, as long as he is prepared in advance, does not lose Jinyang, and successfully integrates Liang Jun's superior forces, there is still hope.
And the most important point is that in this battle, you can get a limited SSR door god from the Xuanwu Gate Change: Yuchi Jingde!
There is no doubt that Yuchi Jingde played a role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. If he could attack Liu Wuzhou first, it would be possible to take Yuchi Jingde under his command.
When the Xuanwu Gate changes again, Li Hongyun will have one more good card in his hand, while King Qin will have one less good card in his hand.
This time, it’s a huge advantage!
Everyone has no objection to this suggestion.
For the King of Qin, although he could see that Wang Shichong was a tougher nut to crack, firstly, the King of Qin had a character that refused to accept anyone, and did not have any fear of difficulties; secondly, Liu Wuzhou had not taken the initiative to invade Jinyang at that time.
In other words, King Qi took the initiative to defend Jinyang and stabilize the rear. In the eyes of everyone, it was very likely that he would do nothing.
What if Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang didn't come to attack Jinyang?
Even if King Qi takes the initiative to fight, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang on their own territory may not be easier to fight than Wang Shichong.
After all, Liu Wuzhou had Turkic forces behind him at this time and was named "Dingyang Khan".
In this way, the king of Qi and the king of Qin went north and east, respectively, expanding in different directions for Liang.
…
Returning to Jinyang again, Li Hongyun was filled with emotions.
I, King Qi, am back again!
So far, Jinyang can be said to be the place Li Hongyun is most familiar with in this challenge.
The first time I played the role of King Qi was to defend the fortified city here, repelling Liu Wuzhou's attack, and successfully persisted until the arrival of King Qin.
But this time, he could no longer rely on King Qin.
Because if you want to win the Xuanwu Gate Incident, you must ensure that every tough battle is fought by yourself. Only in this way can you build up enough prestige and form a strong enough team.
It is a bit difficult to defeat Liu Wuzhou by relying solely on your own strength.
Because the war at this time can no longer be played out according to the script.
In the script, the King of Qi lost Jinyang, causing the entire Hedong to fall, and the King of Qin had to confront Song Jingang on Baibi. The wall was fortified and the country was cleared for three months. Only then did Song Jingang take advantage of the victory to pursue him because his army was hungry and fled. Defeat it.
But at this time, Li Hongyun couldn't withdraw his army to Baibi before starting a fight, right?
The battle locations are different and the enemies we deal with are different, so there is definitely no way to copy the standard answer.
But Li Hongyun also has a way.
First of all, although it cannot be copied completely, the strategic ideas are the same.
According to the analysis of historical data, one of the biggest shortcomings of the armies of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang was insufficient logistical equipment.
Historical records record that they did not carry too much baggage during battles, but instead plundered and sold food to the enemy on the spot.
In other words, the troops have combat effectiveness, but they are only stronger when grabbing food. Once they cannot grab food, the entire army will starve.
Therefore, the strategy of clearing the jungle with strong walls is still effective.
Li Hongyun can completely rely on Jinyang City and surrounding strongholds to defend it, which is better than the defensive conditions of King Qin in Baibi.
Secondly, Li Hongyun found that the greater the contribution he made in the previous links and the more changes he made to history, the easier it would be to obtain better talents and skills.
For example, after defeating Xue Rengao, he successfully obtained a talent that he had never seen before.
[Ding: Use troops like a god (gold): Obtain this talent on the basis of the talent "Arrangement and Formation". You can naturally master advanced marching and formation strategies and reach the level of commanding troops of a generation of famous generals. If you continue to win, you will have the opportunity to draw the "Rebirth of the Soldier Immortal" talent. 】
Previously, when Li Hongyun was following the King of Qin to sweep the area around Chang'an, he took the talent of "arrangement of troops" because he saw no other better options.
Li Hongyun had always felt that this talent was somewhat accumulated. Although it was a golden talent, it could only raise his level to the level of a "veteran".
This still doesn’t guarantee victory!
Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan before were considered veteran generals, so they didn't just send him off to Xue Ju.
But now Li Hongyun knows that this thing can be upgraded in the future.
Forming troops, using troops like gods, and the reincarnation of the Immortal Soldier, these are three talents that can be advanced. Only by taking the first one can you advance to the later ones.
Therefore, Li Hongyun's current leadership level is that of a "famous general of the generation."
Not as good as King Qin. After all, King Qin should be at the level of "The Reincarnation of the Soldier Immortal".
But if Li Hongyun had read the script in advance and knew himself and the enemy, he would not have much trouble dealing with these separatist forces.
Returning to Jinyang again, Li Hongyun could clearly feel that his control over the entire Hedong had been significantly improved.
He is no longer the naughty kid who hunts people on the street and makes people resentful, but is the majestic King of Qi who is serious about leading troops in war.
What's more, this time he also brought Zong Luohu and other powerful generals brought from Xue Ju.
Therefore, this time Li Hongyun did not defend Jinyang, but marched into Yuci to confront Liu Wuzhou who was stationed at Huangsheling in the north of Yuci.
He personally led people to survey the terrain, and at the same time strengthened the walls and cleared the country, and sent cavalry from time to time to raid the grain roads.
Hey, why is the sense of déjà vu so strong?
It's okay, it's not a big problem, as long as you can win.
When Liu Wuzhou just went south, military reports had already reached Chang'an.
Liang Gaozu's first reaction was obviously one of surprise. After all, Liu Wuzhou was relying on the Turks at this time and his strength was not weak.
King Qin faced Luoyang in the east. Although Wang Shichong over there was stronger, Chang'an was in the middle of Guanzhong after all, and there were various dangers along the way that could act as obstacles.
It is almost impossible for Wang Shichong to break in.
But it's different in the north. Although Jinyang is also impregnable, once the surrounding counties fall and Jinyang becomes an isolated city, a large area around it may fall.
However, as subsequent battle reports came in one after another, Liang Gaozu felt relieved.
What am I worried about? I don’t only have a cheating son, King Qin, I also have a cheating son in the north!
