Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 284
Sun Weizui's plan is very detailed. Combined with the military townships in the Tang Dynasty, Jiangnan, Huainan, and Shannan are roughly divided into ten military towns, of which:
Jiaozhou in Annan is plagued by southern barbarians and needs to garrison troops. It is planned to set up [-] soldiers and [-] local soldiers.

Liuzhou in Guiguan, Tanzhou in Hunan, and Hongzhou in Jiangxi are all places with relatively convenient water and land transportation, where you can garrison troops. Three places have [-] soldiers and [-] local soldiers.

Yizhou in Qianzhou must guard against the local natives and must garrison troops.Let there be five thousand soldiers and two thousand native soldiers.

Xuanshe, East Zhejiang, West Zhejiang, and Fujian can garrison troops in Hangzhou, with [-] soldiers and [-] native soldiers.

Shannan Dongdao, Eyue, and Jingnan can garrison troops in Jiangling Mansion and Xiangyang, each with [-] soldiers and [-] local soldiers.

Huainan stationed troops in Luzhou and Yangzhou. The main purpose was to suppress bandits and protect water transportation. Each set up [-] soldiers and [-] local soldiers.

Even if it is further compressed, it still needs [-] to [-] soldiers, and the Turkish army needs [-] to [-].

Du Rangneng asked: "Mr. Sun, where did these soldiers come from?"

Sun Wei said the most: "Returning to Duke Du, this strategy was also suggested by His Majesty. The veteran thought that it can be divided into two steps. The first step can be to transfer 2 soldiers from Dongchuan to the south of the Yangtze River, plus more than 1 Xuanwu troops. To defend the south of the Yangtze River, after the three-year period expires, troops can be recruited in Huainan to guard Xuanshe, Xuanshe can recruit troops to guard Guiguan, and so on, the period of guarding is three years, and the generals will be appointed by the court..."

Li Ye also nodded at this time, Huainan is only a thousand miles away from Xuanshe, and the border guards should be within a thousand miles as far as possible, so that the soldiers will feel at ease, and they will not be transferred from the northern border to the southern border, which is a waste of money and people.

"What does Chengye think?"

"There are more than 100 states in the south of the Tang Dynasty. It is still no problem to feed an army of [-] to [-]. I have no objection!"

Li Ye asked Jingxiang, "How should this matter be properly handled?"

Jing Xiangdao: "Your Majesty, I think there are three steps. One is to summon Du Hong, the envoy of Eyue Jiedu, Qian Miao, the envoy of Western Zhejiang Observation, Dong Chang, the envoy of Eastern Zhejiang Observation, Lei Pu, the governor of Langzhou, and Zhong Chuan, the envoy of Jiangxi Observation. Hunan Observer sent Fei Jun back to the capital!"

Li Ye nodded. If these people came back, they would have lost a lot of things. If they didn't come back, they would just have a reason to beat him up.

"Secondly, please Your Majesty order to transfer [-] Dongchuan soldiers from the full reserve to be stationed in Qianzhou.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses from Zhao Kuangning's troops in Tiaoshannan Dongdao and Jingnan were stationed in Yuezhou.

Ge went south from the state to Hangzhou.

The Anfujiang Department of the Zuo Shenwei Army went south to Hongzhou, Jiangxi, and ordered the states and counties along the way to supply military rations, and set up officials! "

There are 10,000+ soldiers from the four routes, stationed in various important roads in the south of the Yangtze River. Jing Xiang's move is also a ruthless move, and the nearby Jiangnan taxes are collected for support, and the court does not need to spend a penny.

"What about the third step?"

Jing Xiang said: "After all the armies are in place, the third step is simple. Order the prefectures and towns to reorganize the prefectural armies according to the regulations agreed by the princes, and strictly order military and government affairs. Anyone who does not follow will be wiped out by the army immediately. This is what I planned for His Majesty!"

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, carefully pondered this strategy in his mind, and found nothing inappropriate.

The loyalty of Ge Congzhou and An Fujiang is not a problem. One of the family members is in Xuanwu and the other is in Chang'an.

Mancun's family is in Chengdu, and they are also under the supervision of Yushan's personal guards. There are only [-] Dongchuan soldiers under his command, which cannot breed ambition. As for Zhao Kuangning's [-] Jingxiang army, his father Zhao Dezhen is still in Luoyang.

Therefore, it is very appropriate for the four armies to station in the main roads and threaten the states to restructure, but His Majesty the Emperor still made a slight adjustment.

"Liu Zhijun's Xuanwu Central Army's rear compartment, and Wang Zhongshi's Zuo Changzhi Army were transferred to the Zuo Shenwei Army Anfujiang to restrain them, Ge Congzhou governed the headquarters, Zuo Zhenwu Army Huahong Division, and others were based on Jinggong's discussion. What do you think? ?”

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Li Ye said to Niu Hui: "The chief officials of all provinces, prefectures, and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, the official department must carefully consider, draw up a list, and submit it to the public for discussion. In addition, I ask Duke Du to draft an edict and announce it to the world!"

"promise!"

Li Ye said: "One more thing, let me tell you, the Zuo Shenwei Army reported that Yang Xingmi secretly recruited the rebel generals, and I have already issued a decree to capture Yang Xingmi and his followers and take them to Bianliang. There is no need for an edict on this matter for the time being. Tell the world..."

"..."

In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, Yang Xingmi, a rebel leader, did not want to stay for a moment. He received a report from the Zuo Shenwei Army that Yang Xingmi was conspiring to rebel. What are you waiting for? Fujiang has 6 or [-] horses, and now it has controlled Yang Xingmi's army. The chances are very good.

But at this time in Xuancheng, the emperor's imperial edict had not yet arrived.

Yang Xingmi's army has been trapped for more than [-] days and cannot move.

He looked worriedly at his adviser Yuan Xi, generals Liu Wei and Li Shenfu, and said: "We have already become turtles in the urn. If the officers and soldiers cut off our rations, we will die if we don't resist. If we can escape from the city, there may be a way out. What do you think?"

Li Shenfu said: "Now the city gates on all sides are under the control of the officers and soldiers. An Fujiang led a large army to station beside us. If we attack the city gates, they will definitely cover up and kill them. At that time, we will definitely be attacked by the enemy, and it will be difficult!"

Yuan Xi frowned and said: "Anfujiang was besieged but did not attack, and did not persuade to surrender. I don't know what it means. I guess he must be waiting for the imperial court's order. Now that the imperial court is strong and strong, it cannot be contested. It must be to accuse us. Should you think of a good strategy to respond to it?"

Liu Wei said: "Rather than just sit and wait for death, it's better to fight a bloody road. Go to Lingnan, and you can fight a lot."

Yang Xingmi shook his head, looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Then what good strategy do you have?"

Yuan Xi cupped his hands and said, "Commander, why don't you send someone to Anfujiang to ask for your surrender? I can see that Ge Congzhou, Liu Zhijun, Hua Hong and others are all looking forward to Anfujiang. For us, it is not impossible for Xu Tu to rise again!"

"Persuade Anfujiang to stand on his own?" Yang Xingmi's thoughts suddenly became eager. Anfujiang had 6 to [-] soldiers, all of whom were elite soldiers. , this temptation is not insignificant.

"I'm worried about other people, can Mr. Yuan persuade An Fujiang for me?"

Yuan Xi clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to die for the commander in chief!"

Immediately, Yuan Xi came to the camp of Zuo Shenwei Army and asked to see An Fujiang.

"Why is Mr. Yuan here?"

"Humble, I have something important to tell you. Please, Chief An Da, please step back."

"Oh!" An Fujiang looked around, his eyes fell on Yushan's personal guard, and then he looked back at Yuan Xi, and said with a smile: "These are my confidantes, but it's okay for Mr. Yuan to say!"

Yuan Xi frowned slightly. He didn't directly persuade An Fujiang to stand on his own. The imperial court didn't know how deep the water was.

We can only test each other first.

"Yang's defense envoy wants to focus on Chief An, and swears allegiance to the death. Please accept it!"

"This..." Anfu Jiang suddenly changed!
