Chapter 609          No time to look around

Li Yu took it, opened the envelope, and looked carefully.

This is a letter written by Chen Fang himself.

There are mainly two contents.

1. Li Guan sent to Saro Kingdom to take over the main general of his troops, and has been killed by Chen Fang and others.

2. The war in the Saro Kingdom is about to end, and Chen Fang will lead the army to withdraw back to the country as soon as possible.

After reading this letter, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Chen Fang ends the war and brings 500,000 troops back to the country, his situation will be completely safe.

In addition, during the three days when Li Yu was in a coma, Jing Yu sent 70,000 strong men one after another.

It has to be said that Jing Yu's internal affairs and organizational skills are first-class, and he provided strong logistical support for Li Yu.

After listening to everyone's report, Li Yu looked at Guan Ying and said, "Ziyun!"

"I'm here!"

Guan Ying intervened and bowed.

Li Yu said: "During this period, you have to work harder. You have to be the chief general of Longmen Pass and be responsible for the training of new recruits! Although the war is about to end, it will probably take at least two months to lead the army to withdraw to Longmen Pass. In these few months, we must be cautious about Li Guan sending troops to attack again!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Guan Ying didn't say anything and intervened to take the order.

For the next period of time, Li Yu was not idle either. Guan Ying went all out to train the strong men transferred by Jing Yu, and Li Yu also participated in it.

Although he did not eat and live with the soldiers, he participated in the whole process of what kind of training the soldiers received.

With the soldiers training together, Li Yucai was surprised to find out what kind of people Jing Yu sent him.

The monthly military pay for these strong men is 1,000 yuan, and there are two stones and five dou of food.

If you exchange grain for copper coins, there will be about 3,000 citations in total.

At that time, this was already considered a high salary, and at least it was no problem to support a family.

With Jing Yu giving such a high military pay, there are naturally a steady stream of people who join the army.

But Jing Yu doesn’t recruit everyone, and when recruiting people, they have to undergo strict assessments.

First of all, be taller.

He set up a six-foot wooden pole, and only those who were higher than this one would be recruited.

Secondly, you should look graceful and honest, not too ugly or too crooked.

In Jing Yu's opinion, the army represents national prestige. Recruiting those with crooked mouths and slanted eyes will affect the military appearance too much.

Again, and the most important point is to be strong in physical strength.

How to calculate it well?

Carrying a weight of 35 kilograms and running for twenty miles.

At that time, the individual soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were fully armed, and with their personal equipment, rations, etc., they were all in total, which was about 32 kilograms.

The recruitment assessment is naturally more heavy than the regular burden.

Therefore, the strong men Jing Yu sent to Li Yu were all elite men who had passed these three levels of screening.

After reaching Guanying's hands, the training standards have been improved a little more, and they have to do a twenty-mile long-distance race with a weight of 40 kilograms every day.

Then you will also have to do formation exercises, fighting training, etc.

Li Yu didn't know how the other soldiers felt. Anyway, after training this day, he was as tired as a dog.

After the daytime training, Li Yu couldn't rest at night.

He also had to deal with some important government affairs in Liangzhou and Qinzhou.

Qinzhou was invaded by the Xifan Army, and many cities and farmland were destroyed, and money was needed everywhere.

But where does the money come from?

For the time being, only blood transfusions can be relied on Liangzhou.

During the period when Li Yu was in Liangzhou, the practice of growing cash crops on a large scale has now been effective.

The sucrose, longanopsis and other substances produced in Liangzhou are not only spread throughout the country, but also sold abroad.

This greatly supplemented Liangzhou's finances, and in turn, it could continuously transfer large amounts of money to Qinzhou.

For several days, Li Yu was busy and had no time to have free time.

However, the capital was much quieter and no more troops were sent to capture Longmen Pass.

It was not that Li Guan decided to let Li Yu go, but that the court now has no time to look around.

Li Ju died of poisoning. After Li Guan ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to kill Li Yu.

The accidents in the capital were one after another, which made Wei Ying, who was fighting against the Eight Kings, very dissatisfied.

Li Guan had just succeeded to the throne, and before the death of the late emperor was investigated, he was in a hurry to kill the King of Wu. In Wei Ying's view, this was a complete sign of the lack of silver here.

He was in a hurry to kill someone to silence the truth so that he could kill the matter and eliminate future troubles forever.

Wei Ying's dissatisfaction with Li Guan on the battlefield was a passive and lazy battle.

As an opponent, the Eight Kings quickly felt the changes of Wei Ying.

After some discussion, the Eight Kings asked Li Deng and Li Le to stay in Dai County and continue to confront Wei Ying.

The six kings Li Lie, Li Hao, Li Feng, Li Jin, Li Zhen, and Li Hong led the main army to the south to Qizhou.

Then from Qizhou, heading west, breaking through Jinzhou and Weizhou, and finally advancing to the capital.

This is mainly to avoid Wei Ying's obstacle.

In the past, they did not dare to divide their troops like this, so they let Li Deng and Li Le stay in Dai County and deal with Wei Ying, which was no different from letting them die.

But now it's different. Wei Ying has great dissatisfaction with Li Guan, and is passive and lazy to fight. It is completely feasible to leave Li Deng and Li Le to pretend to behave and restrain Wei Ying.

The army led by the six kings was unstoppable. In just half a month, they opened up Qizhou and entered Jinzhou.

If they were allowed to penetrate Jinzhou and approach Weizhou again, then the capital would be in danger.

Faced with this situation, how could Li Guan not be anxious?

Naturally, he didn't care about Li Yu who was in Longmen Pass and concentrated all his strength to deal with the army of the Six Kings.

Li Guan sent Song Lu, Duke of Dingguo, to command the newly recruited 200,000 troops of the capital to Jinzhou to resist the fierce army of the Six Kings.

Song Lu was one of the founding generals. When he was young, he was also a brave and good at fighting general.

But after ten years of peace, Song Lu was not only old but also gained weight, and even needed someone to support him when he got on the horse.

The result of letting such a commander resist the army of the six kings led by Li Lie can be imagined.

Song Lu led 200,000 troops of the capital to fight a great war with the Six Kings coalition forces in Gaoping County, Jinzhou.

This is the first battle between the two sides.

As a result, the first battle was defeated.

Song Lu was defeated by the Allied Forces of the Six Kings and led his soldiers and retreated in a hurry.

The Allied Forces of the Six Kings chased and chased from Gaoping County to Shanyang County.

It was not until Song Lu led his troops into Shanyang City, the county town of Shanyang County that he could barely stop the defeat.

Even with the city defense of Shanyang City as a support, the situation in Song Lu's army was not optimistic.

The six kings' coalition forces are at the city, and Shanyang City may be lost at any time.

When the news came back to the capital, Li Guan's head also buzzed, and Venus appeared in front of him.

He rushed to court and discussed countermeasures with the ministers.

In the court, Li Guan looked at the military general and asked, "Who can lead the troops to help Duke Ding be trapped?"
