Chapter 189 Dongchuan Army Swings(1/2)

Wei Fufeng stayed in Yelang Mansion for half a month and had to set off and leave. There were many things that Wei Fufeng needed to deal with.

The price of a high position and power is destined to be a rare leisure. Perhaps when the country is settled, he can be like an emperor, reviewing memorials without leaving the imperial city.

Wei Fufeng took Li Xuerou, Wanyu and Liu Yue'e back to Yuzhou to deal with various military and political affairs in Yuzhou, and learned that Bazhong was basically under management.

The original state officials in Bazhong would either expel or kill them when they were enterprising.

All states were taken over by the chief ministers who were appointed by their grandfather, and only the governor of Langzhou was not vacant.

Wei Fufeng stayed in Yuzhou for three days and took Li Xuerou, Wanyu and Liu Yue'e with him to head east.

On the way, he also had to inspect the migrants in Badong and Tanzhou's military farms and meet with civil and military officials to get close to them.

In Yuzhou, Wei Fufeng had a secret conversation with Lin Qingxue, and Lin Qingxue was determined to make Liu Yue'e the wife of Wei Fufeng.

Liu Yue'e went to Yelang Mansion, and Tian Wen'er had a good impression of Liu Yue'e.

Wei Fufeng still hesitated, mainly because Jiu Niang walked into his heart.

Jiu Niang has the advantage of her background and status, so he wants to observe carefully for a while.

Lin Qingxue didn't say much. Liu Yue'e and Jiuniang, who became the real wife, had little impact on her.

......

The days of traveling outside pass quickly. Wei Fufeng, who was patrolling all the way, arrived in Guizhou at the end of July.

Wei Fufeng's biological mother left after Wei Fufeng left southern Sichuan, and returned to Guizhou earlier than Wei Fufeng.

Wei Fufeng and Li Xuerou got married. When the flowers and the moon were full, the Dongchuan army was filled with haze and people were in turmoil.

Gu Yanhui, the governor of the Dongchuan Army, was in a dilemma and was worried and was drinking in the second hall with unwilling worries.

The Dongchuan Army was unfavorable in the years. After the rise of the Southern Sichuan Army, Yang Shouliang's army attacked, and the Fengxiang Army occupied Xichuan and Jianzhou, both of which had severe blows and erosions against the Dongchuan Army.

The Southern Sichuan Army was defeated by Fengxiang Army and retreated to the riverside.

Now, the raid has led to the Bazhong land and gained more state territory.

Especially Langzhou, it is a treasure land that Gu Yanhui is jealous.

Gu Yanhui regretted that after the Dongchuan army suffered a severe blow, there were only Zizhou, Suizhou and Puzhou, and some subordinates suggested that he seize the land of Bazhong.

Zizhou and Langzhong are adjacent to each other across the Jialing River, and they have captured Langzhong. The military lip and teeth are mutually dependent on each other.

Langzhong City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is a place with abundant resources.

Gu Yanhui did not dare to go to war with Fengxiang's army and fell into hesitation.

As a result, the meat on his mouth was taken away by the Southern Sichuan Army, and he resisted the counterattack of Fengxiang's army, forcing Fengxiang's army to give up Bazhong.

Gu Yanhui regretted that the Dongchuan Army's territory had become smaller and the maintenance of the army became less than enough. If he could decisively seize Langzhong, with the Dongchuan Army's military foundation, ten thousand troops could defend Langzhong City.

Gu Yanhui's troubles followed one after another, and the southern Sichuan army captured Bazhong, and objections arose in the army.

Rumors say that Bazhong is under the rule of Jinzhou and is different from the southern Sichuan military system. It should be alliance with the Jinzhou military to fight against the Fengxiang army.

Gu Yanhui didn't care and felt it was reasonable.

Unexpectedly, the governor of Jinzhou sent someone to persuade the surrender, and the person came to ask the Dongchuan army to submit the title of Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Xichuan, and the King of Shu Wei Zhaodu.

The conditions for surrendering require the Dongchuan Army to surrender to the King of Shu and retain the official position and power of the Dongchuan Army Jiedushi.

For the sake of overall external defense, the Dongchuan Army should obey the dispatch and garrison.

The general of the Dongchuan Army served as the governor of Bazhong prefectures, and the commander of the Dongchuan Army's Jiedushi was the commander of the heavy army to guard Zizhou.

The military affairs of Zizhou, the Jiedushi of the Dongchuan Army was fully in charge, and the civil affairs and taxes of other states were governed by the King of Shu.

The heavy troops guarding Zizhou were responsible for the supply of the supplies under the premise that Zizhou was insufficient.

Even if Gu Yanhui was not a hero, he understood that such a surrender would decompose the Dongchuan Army.

But if the choice is ignored, the subordinates may be betrayal.

There are only three states, and there are 80,000 troops, of which 30,000 elite Teeth Army who do not engage in agriculture.

Gu Yanhui was under great pressure, but he did not dare to start a war with the outside world and ended up in a dilemma.

Gu Yanhui was worried and was unwilling to lose Dongchuan rule.

The problem is that most of the generals of the Dongchuan Army came from Chang'an nobles.

In order to gain the exile of the Dongchuan Army Jiedushi, Gu Yanhui's brother vigorously made friends with the nobles of Chang'an.

With the support of the Chang'an nobles, he was awarded the position of Dongchuan Jiedu.

But if you want to gain real ownership under Dongchuan, you must have strong military power in your hands.

Brother Gu Yanhui accepted the warriors from noble families, one was to reward and the other was to take advantage of the situation.

At that time, the nobles of Chang'an had a strong military foundation and were willing to let their children go out to gain military power.

Brother Gu Yanhui obtained four thousand excellent military troops, and also brought out one thousand Shen Ce troops.

Most of the Shence Army brought out at that time were regular troops with strong combat power.

With a strong military force, Gu Yanhui's brother won the reign of most of the prefectures of Dongchuan in just half a year.

After several years of operation, he basically controlled the rule of Dongchuan, and even the remote Luzhou was also under the control of the country.

Compared to Yang Shouliang, Gu Yanhui's brother is a successful military hero.

When the southern Sichuan Army suddenly stood up, Gu Yanhui was in Xichuan. His brother fell seriously ill. When he learned that the Wei family in Chang'an had taken over, Gu Yanhui gave up and continued to attack Luzhou.

After Gu Yanhui's brother died, Gu Yanhui, who was not as capable as his brother, fell into a difficult life to keep his place.

But he was still angry with the Southern Sichuan Army and was unwilling to join forces with the Southern Sichuan Army. He was also worried that he would join forces with the Southern Sichuan Army and provoke the Fengxiang Army to attack. Once the war broke the war, the Southern Sichuan Army would sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

Gu Yanhui was unwilling to accept it, but he had to face up to the surrender of the Jinzhou Governor. It can be said that the Jinzhou Governor's conditions are favorable and it is easy to attract the subordinates of the Dongchuan Army. This is Gu Yanhui's weakness.

Hesitate and resign, the consequences are betrayal of relatives.

Gu Yanhui has many loyal subordinates, but when people's hearts are separated from their stomachs and interests are great enough, rebellion is justified.

There are many loyal people in the Dongchuan Army, many of whom came from noble families, and they have the ethics of observing rituals and knowing shame.

It is common for generals from vassal states who were born into bandits to turn against each other.

There are advantages and disadvantages. Generals and officials who come from noble families have little resistance to surrendering to the King of Shu and great resistance to surrendering to the Southern Sichuan Army.

The great generals of the Dongchuan Army looked down on the Southern Sichuan Army and were also dissatisfied with the Fengxiang Army.

But because Li Maozhen was born into the Shence Army, there were undercurrents within the Dongchuan Army that belonged to the Fengxiang Army.

Now, the final decision is still in Gu Yanhui's hands.

Gu Yanhui, who was drinking a slut, fucked a glass suddenly and threw it to the ground. The guards outside rushed in.

"Okay, my army will accept the King of Shu, and I will wait with peace of mind. Who dares to surrender to Fengxiang's army and kill them." Gu Yanhui said with a red face and murderous intent.

After making a decision, he cannot tolerate division, otherwise the bargaining chips will be very weak.

After Gu Yanhui made the decision, the Dongchuan Army made a major adjustment.

Gu Yanhui left behind 20,000 elite Teeth Army, 20,000 military farming soldiers, and other military forces to take them away to senior generals who were willing to leave.

The envoy of the Governor of Jinzhou, Wei Kang, the eighth uncle of Wei Fufeng.

Wei Kang did a good job this time. In fact, he was forced by his father. Fortunately, he has been a minor official for many years and was able to handle the negotiation scenes easily.

After obtaining the result that the Dongchuan Army was willing to surrender, Wei Kang was extremely surprised and flew away immediately with fear and confidently participated in the aftermath.

According to the layout of the Governor of Jinzhou, Gu Yanhui, the governor of the Dongchuan Army, ruled Zizhou and had 40,000 troops.

Suizhou and Puzhou, south of Zizhou, stationed in 20,000 Bazhong troops.

Hezhou, southeast of Suizhou, stationed 20,000 southern Sichuan troops.

If Zizhou is attacked by the enemy, the military forces of adjacent Langzhou, Suizhou and Puzhou will be supported.

If there were more enemy troops, then the southern Sichuan army in Hezhou and the southern Sichuan army in Yuzhou and Fuzhou could all support Zizhou to the north.

Gu Yanhui suggested recapturing Rongzhou, the main salt-well area of ​​Dongchuan.

Wei Kang refused, saying that in the future, the use of salt in Zizhou will be supplied by Yun'an Salt Well in Kuizhou. At present, it cannot actively start a war with Fengxiang Army, which is not worth the loss.

When Dongchuan surrendered, many generals and officials took their military power to serve as governors of Bazhong, causing 40,000 troops to flow into Bazhong and 60,000 families to be brought.

Bazhong transferred 20,000 regiments to train troops and stationed in Puzhou and Suizhou respectively.

Of course, it is just a relocated garrison in the early stage of the layout, and the elite troops need to be replaced in the later stage.

The surrender of the Dongchuan Army was just a secret fusion in the local area, and the governor of the Dongchuan Army still existed.

Neither Gu Yanhui nor the governor of Jinzhou would write a letter to the court.

After the court found out, no matter what reaction it was, it only said it was a joint fight against the Fengxiang army.

The Fengxiang Army soon learned about the Dongchuan Army's surrender.

Li Maozhen was reported and fell into trouble. The Dongchuan Army's surrender and hostility posed a huge threat to Xichuan.

Li Maozhen had long been determined to seize Dongchuan, but he was concerned about the rich military background of the Dongchuan army and was worried that both sides would suffer losses from the long-term battle, so he took a slow plan.
