Li Shun said, "It's not easy to build such a huge city."

"It's not easy. It's exhausted Jinzhou's financial resources. Fortunately, with the financial support of Junzhou, the people of Jinzhou can survive the winter." Wei Kang replied.

Li Shun was greedy in his heart, thinking that Jinzhou was not far from Chang'an City, and if he could seize Jinzhou, Junzhou and Fangzhou, then the head of the Jiedushi could land in Jinzhou.

Wei Kang didn't know that Li Shunjie was greedy and walked with a slightly respectful expression.

There is a straight and wide road in the city, with neat fields on both sides of the road, and men, women, young and old working in the fields, a peaceful pastoral scene.

After walking for a mile, I saw a curved river, a bridge crossing, and there were obvious artificial traces on the riverside. Wei Kang asked Li Shunjie to board the boat and follow the river to the inner city.

During the boat trip, it can be seen that there are docks on both sides of the shore. There are many wine shops and warehouses on the docks, and hundreds of people are busy carrying goods. Li Shunjie kept nodding and secretly said where he is.

Li Ziqi from the back boat was also watching the scenery, and he felt quite moved inside that Jinzhou is definitely an insurmountable place compared to Xingyuan Prefecture.

Jinzhou produces tea and gold mines, but because of the majority of mountains, mountain torrents are caused by disasters every year, it makes it difficult for Jinzhou to have abundant agriculture.

After the Wei family in Jinzhou took over, they spared no effort to manage people's livelihood and build giant cities. They opened canals and rivers in the city to create a safe harvest for drought and flood, which was beneficial to farmers and commerce. It is said that dams are still building to control the floods of the Han River.

After Yang Shouliang entered Xingyuan Prefecture, he never cared about people's livelihood and water conservancy, which caused local officials to only know how to exploit and ignore the farming.

Without the forced supervision of the government, wealthy families with land can only take care of their own interests and cannot form overall governance.

The boat was parked not far from the south gate of the inner city. The Governor of Jinzhou led the crowd to welcome him and invited Li Shunjie to enter the inner city and go to the state office to rest. The inner city is still under renovation, which seems messy compared to the outer city.

After the prefecture yamen dealt with Li Shunjie, the governor of Jinzhou moved to Xiyuan and secretly met with Li Ziqi. Li Ziqi was also the judge of Zhenjiang Jiedushi, and Tianwei Army was one of the military forces of the Jiedushi.

Li Shunjie was unwilling to form two independent military systems within. The Tianwei Army was the Zhenjiang Jiedu Army. The internal official positions were rotated regularly. When the judge Li Ziqi left Kuizhou, the judge's power was taken over by the Chief Shi of Kuizhou.

If Li Ziqi returns to Kuizhou, he will become the chief of Kuizhou. His confidant who serves as the chief of Kuizhou will be transferred to the governor and judge, that is, the integration of military and political officials and will be transferred regularly.

Li Shunjie entered the prefecture yamen and only brought 200 guards. Other military forces were scattered and placed in the inner city.

Li Ziqi was informed and it was easy to travel alone. She waited in the West Garden for a while and met the Governor of Jinzhou.

Respectful greetings, Heyan's response was asked to sit down, and the Governor of Jinzhou and Li Ziqi spoke by the pool in the West Garden.

Li Ziqi suggested that he seize Badong as soon as possible, as it would be easy to change. If he is not in Kuizhou, it is difficult to protect his subordinates from turning against each other.

The Governor of Jinzhou reassured Li Ziqi that the Southern Sichuan Army had already begun to seize Kuizhou.

......

Three days after Li Shunjie left Kuizhou, five thousand southern Sichuan troops escorted Gongmi Shunjiang down.

There was no food on the ship, and there were three thousand elite troops from the Southern Sichuan Army with sharp military equipment. The force on the surface was two thousand regiments to train.

When the fleet passed through Zhongzhou, Wang Jianzhao had already joined the Zhenjiang Jiedushi. Li Shunjie and the Southern Sichuan Army had reached the conditions for sending troops. Wang Jianzhao, the governor of Zhongzhou, could not intercept some passing food as before, and could only allow the fleet to pass through without any obstacles.

The fleet successfully passed through Wanzhou area and entered Kuizhou area. It was already sunset and dusk. The fleet was moored on the shore. The troops on the surface buried pots and made rice, supplying 5,000 troops to eat.

At the beginning of the day, five thousand southern Sichuan troops rushed to the west gate of Kuizhou under the night.

Wei Fufeng was wearing a thin scale armor and mixed in the army. The capture of Kuizhou this time requires a strict aftermath and also needs to meet and get close to the subordinate generals.

At the end of November, the weather is cold day and night, and the glow of the moonlight makes the weapons and armor reflect light.

The five thousand military forces could not hide their movements at all, so they could only blatantly approach the Xicheng Gate quickly.

Wei Fufeng looked up the city tower in the rear army. If the Neiwang could not take the Xicheng Gate, the trip would only be a result of failure. Even if the Xicheng Gate was opened, Wei Fufeng would not enter and act in person, and the Neiwang would have a chance to turn into bait.

As the Sichuan South Army approached the Xicheng Gate, the city gate suspension bridge suddenly dropped, making a loud creaking sound in the night. The city tower was calm, and there were only many spears swaying, which was a signal of success.

The suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was opened. In the night, the three thousand elite troops of the Southern Sichuan Army were like wolves merging into the suspension bridge. They walked into the city gate and walked safely through the urn city. Five hundred southern Sichuan Armys climbed the city tower and were with the internal forces.

Seeing the southern Sichuan army appearing on the city gate tower, Wei Fufeng ordered another thousand troops to enter the city, leaving only one thousand troops outside the city waiting for news. After a while, six hundred troops were ordered to scatter the city of Kuizhou and block the escaped ones.

Wei Fufeng knew that 15,000 troops were guarding Kuizhou City, and it was divided into two major military systems, one was headed by the governor and the other was headed by the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi. The chief of Kuizhou was in charge of military supplies and the officials were in charge of military laws.

In addition, many soldiers and horse envoys were from the Tianwei Army, and most of the generals under their command were surrendered.

The Zhenjiang Army's surrendered troops accounted for 80% of them, some from Yang Shouliang's army, and some from more than 10,000 people from Wutai Army.

In contrast, Li Shunjie trusted Li Ziqi's surrendered military strength more, and did not trust the surrendered Wutai's surrendered military strength. Most of the surrendered troops went to Guizhou to guard the army.

The Tianwei army originally had 5,000 soldiers, but one thousand were lost when they attacked Xingyuan Prefecture.

After entering Badong, Guizhou went to the town of 1,000 troops, Wanzhou went to the town of 500 troops, Yun'an Yanjing went to the town of 500 troops, Li Shunjie left and took away the town of 500 troops.

Therefore, the Tianweiben Army left behind in Kuizhou had only 1,500 soldiers, accounting for only 10% of the total force.

In addition, out of self-protection, there were 1,000 days of Weiben Army divided into state yamen and Jiedu Mansion. The Tianweiben Army used to guard each city gate was only 100, and the surrendered army was 900.

Nine hundred vs one hundred, plus a plot to attack, the city gate guards quietly changed hands.

Therefore, even if Li Shunjie does not leave Kuizhou, Wei Fufeng will still send troops to seize the city. Once the opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to have another chance.

The southern Sichuan army that entered the city divided into two groups, attacking the prefecture and the Jiedu Mansion.

The two key points not only have a 500-day-long powerful army, but also a 2,500 surrendered army to guard the periphery.

But the surrendered military forces and the leading generals of Li Ziqi were all subordinates.

Because Li Ziqi left Kuizhou, Li Ziqi's surrendered military power became a military power that Tianwei general could trust.

The two thousand five hundred peripheral forces became a blockade line, and the counterattacked the Southern Sichuan Army to invade the palace.

In a thousand days, hundreds of deaths and injuries were taken by the Weiben Army. The governor Yao Kun and the governor General Kui Prefecture were killed, and the deputy governor Zhao Tong was captured. They thought it was a rebel by the army.

Wei Fufeng received a report and led the guards into Fengjie County, Kuizhou.

Arriving at the Jiedushi's Mansion, the aftermath was initiated, and all the participating Yassans were promoted to the military envoys, and they were allowed to seize other city gates.

After success, Wei Fufeng sent a messenger to the Fangzhou border overnight, mobilized prepared civil and military officials in Jinzhou to take over Kuizhou.

Wei Fufeng did not intend to return to the rule of southern Sichuan, but belonged to his grandfather, which was beneficial to internal harmony, and the other was easy to be recognized by the court.

Before dawn, a thousand Jinzhou soldiers arrived and entered Kuizhou City. They were the chief of Kuizhou, the left and right commanders, the county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, and chief clerks of each county, and were used to completely replace Li Shunjie.

In the future, civil and military officials from other prefectures will come to serve, and local military and political affairs will be appointed by Jinzhou. Most of the military forces guarding Badong will be responsible for southern Sichuan. The sign of Zhenjiang Jiedushi must exist for the time being.

In view of Li Shunjie's mistake, Wei Fufeng completely incorporated Badong's surrendered troops, asked Badong's surrendered troops to go to southern Sichuan and Qianzhong, and transferred the southern Sichuan army to Kuizhou, pretending to be Zhenjiang Jiedu's army to station in Badong.

When the officials arrived, Wei Fufeng issued a collegial military order from the governor and the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, and transferred officials from various counties in Kuizhou to return to Fengjie County to discuss matters.

The county magistrates who had just arrived at the office were transferred away before the butt was hot. Although they complained inwardly, they did not dare to disobey their orders.

So, the county officials who returned to Fengjie County became prisoners, and officials from Jinzhou set out to take office.

When the new official arrived, the clerks and servants from each county accepted respectfully, and no one dared to doubt anything.

After completing the complete control of Kuizhou, Wei Fufeng attacked other prefectures and first targeted Guizhou and ordered Guizhou generals to lead 10,000 troops to return to Fengjie County in the name of conquering Shizhou.

When Guizhou arrived with 10,000 troops, the troops entering the city became prisoners. Then ten soldiers and horses left the city and took over the Guizhou army with the orders of the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi and the governor. Ten thousand troops in Guizhou were divided into ten parts.

Most of the military forces in Guizhou were surrendered by Wutai, while a small number were Yang Shouliang's surrendered by Yang Shouliang.

Li Ziqi's subordinates took over the military power, and returned to the state's military power for 10,000 yuan. Only a few days of Weiben's army could be doubted, but the military orders were correct, so how could they dare to refuse orders randomly?

After controlling the Guizhou soldiers, Wei Fufeng's pseudo order also arrived in Wanzhou and Zhongzhou, and ordered the governors of the two states to lead 3,000 troops to fight against Shizhou.

After receiving the order, Wang Jianzhao, the governor of Zhongzhou, had to obey the order and sent troops without any doubt.

Kuizhou sent 20,000 troops south to Shizhou, of which 10,000 were Guizhou's military forces.

Shizhou was originally under the rule of Qianzhong Dao and was occupied by the Jingnan Jiedushi.

Later, the emperor was allowed to establish the Wutai Jiedushi and assigned Shizhou, but Wang Jianzhao of the Wutai Army did not dare to provoke the Jingnan Jiedushi, so Shizhou was only a nominal subordinate.

Wei Fufeng sent troops to Shizhou, but it was not really a snatch. He did not want to fight with Cheng Qi at the moment. The purpose of sending troops was to recruit surrendered troops from Badong and destroy Wang Jianzhao's military power.

Wang Jianzhao led his troops into Shizhou, and on the way, he met more than 20,000 "Zhenjiang Army" and was suddenly attacked by 20,000 Zhenjiang Army.

Wang Jianzhao fled and was chased all the way to Qianzhou, and encountered 20,000 southern Sichuan troops in Qianzhou.

Wang Jianzhao brought a thousand remaining soldiers and asked to surrender to the Southern Sichuan Army. The Southern Sichuan Army, who did not want to block the road, rushed directly and submerged him and his subordinates.

Wang Jianzhao was killed, and Zhongzhou was besieged by 10,000 southern Sichuan troops. Wang Jianzhao's head was sent to Zhongzhou, and the Zhongzhou garrison Kaicheng surrendered.

The "Zhenjiang Army" who pursued and entered Qianzhou continued to advance, and 20,000 southern Sichuan troops went to Kuizhou. As for the governor of Wanzhou, the governor of Wanzhou had been killed.

More than 20,000 surrendered soldiers and prisoners arrived in Pengshui County, Qianzhou, and entered the city to accept the incorporation. The generals were assigned to Baihu Hall to listen to them. The soldiers dispersed from the various military palaces and were given land to settle down.
