Chapter 621
The weather in September is as hot as ever. Even if you are in high spirits, Liu Guangyi cannot ride a horse. He is even more reluctant to let his mount be wronged, so he can only ride on a ox cart and walk slowly.
He did not take a boat to Yuezhou, and then crossed Dongting Lake and went to Changsha.
Instead, he went down Lizhou and Langzhou and went directly to Changsha by land, which inevitably led to the hard work of running around.
The reason is very simple, there are not enough ships.
Even after the plunder of the Song army, this was just the fur of Shu. Many of the materials, money and food were still stored in Shu. They didn't have the time to get it back.
Moreover, walking from Hanzhong has a rugged terrain and very few transported it.
But it was very simple for the Tang army. As long as you cross the Three Gorges, you will slowly go down by the Yangtze River, and then pass through Dongting Lake to Changsha, which is too convenient.
In addition, nearly 30,000 Song troops were divided into two parts, partly in Jiangling, and some were sent by ships to Changsha for resettlement. As hundreds of generals and schoolmen, they took land and headed south with Shu soldiers.
There were about 20,000 Shu soldiers escorting Liu Guangyi, and there were 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers. In addition to the families of Shu soldiers, the total number exceeded 100,000.
The Shu soldiers were complex, including defeated soldiers and Yi soldiers. So in order to better rule Bashu, Li Jia directly moved them and their families to Langzhou and Shaozhou for resettlement. It can be regarded as an immigrant of a certain level!
The Eight Banners soldiers returned to their fields. These 5,000 people became ordinary landlords, either living in towns or in rural areas. Anyway, their land was rich in money and food, and they were placed in Shaozhou, which was sparsely populated and vast on the ground.
"It was these people who defeated us!" Looking at the scattered barbarians, Liu Guangyi couldn't swallow this. The dignified imperial guards were actually defeated by a group of barbarians.
"The fact is that, it's unbelievable!" Cao Bin, who was traveling with him, also shook his head and smiled bitterly. The result was too annoying: "However, these barbarians are different from other barbarians. They pay more attention to discipline, and have strict military orders. Everyone wears armor and exudes a strong aura. It's obvious that they have fought bloody battles for many years. If they fight alone, one can defeat several imperial guards!"
"However, I heard that these barbarian soldiers, also known as the Eight Banners soldiers, have been trained by General Pan for many years, but now they have been disbanded. It's a pity. Is this the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook?"
Liu Guangyi really couldn't understand that such an exquisite team actually gave up. Moreover, when the situation in the world is unclear and needs military achievements, it is too a pity that he can fight for at least ten years.
"Maybe there is a special reason!" Cao Bin couldn't understand this logic either. In this chaotic world, he wanted to have more strong soldiers as good as possible. Pan Chongche broke his arm: "When Shu Kingdom comes, General Pan is afraid that his achievements will shock the master, so he simply disbanded the strong soldiers to prove his innocence!"
"This is possible!" Liu Guangyi felt that this was logical.
Shu Kingdom is a well-known rich country in the world, and it is blocked and difficult to communicate. If it is separatist, it will be another country. Therefore, Pan Chongche stayed in Shu Kingdom as if he was put on a stove to roast it.
However, Liu Guangyi still felt that it was wrong.
"But, I heard that Pan Chongche is a castrator!!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin was stunned.
The one who defeated them turned out to be a eunuch, and Lord Tang was so bold...
"Haha, the war is over, let's think about what to do next!" Cao Bin quickly changed the subject and said, "It's okay to be captives, but we must not surrender. The family is in the Central Plains. Please be able to save us when the Song Dynasty goes south!"
Cao Bin didn't care about integrity at all. All he cared about was his young family and his parents. He was a filial son and he could never tolerate his elderly parents being beheaded.
So, he would rather die.
Anyway, if you have a son, the incense can continue and the court will provide better pensions.
"Yeah!" Liu Guangyi also agreed with this, but there was something strange: "The masters of the world pay attention to those who occupy the Central Plains to win the world. In addition, there are many elite soldiers from the north and swept over, and there are few people in the south who can stop it. However, looking at the momentum of the Tang army, it looks like they are divided into the north and south, and it may be another Northern and Southern Dynasties..."
"The Northern and Southern Dynasties!" Hearing these words, Cao Bin's mind was a little shaken and he thought: "I heard that the Tang army, the sea dragon army ships were the world, and now only Wu and Yue are missing, so we can connect to the southern country. In the Song Dynasty, there are Khitan in the north, the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Tang Kingdom in the south, and they are attacked from both sides..."
"It's hard to stick to people's hearts!" Liu Guangyi said as he said, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the ox cart became stiff.
It is really unauthorized that Zhao Kuangyin bullied other people's orphans and widowed mothers and took over the world. It's nothing, and he doesn't care about these things in troubled times.
But the Guo family has never let down the world, especially Guo Rong, who is invincible in the world and the Khitans have beaten them. If they weren't sick, Yan Yun would have taken them back.
This is a renowned name, and it is still circulating now!
Moreover, Zhao's current fatal point.
He relied on power to gain power. He was essentially the same as the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty. His foundation was unstable and people naturally did not possess it.
It's okay for the central government to be strong on weekdays. If there is an invasion of foreign enemies, being attacked from both sides and being unstable within, the huge Song State can collapse in an instant.
"Let's talk about it after arriving in Changsha!" Cao Bin glanced at Liu Guangyi and said softly.
Liu Guangyi smiled slightly and said nothing.
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. You must not make a decision before you see the Tang Dynasty lord. You can only make a decision if you see its true appearance clearly.
A monarch is the fundamental thing that determines the future of a country, especially in this chaotic era.
After arriving in Langzhou, the Shu soldiers and their families were taken into custody by the Langzhou inspectors and went to Shaozhou where there were a lot of wilderness waiting to be reclaimed!
Changsha.
In fact, after learning that Pan Chongche defeated the Song army and divided the land of Shu, Li Jia really felt unbelievable.
At the beginning, he wanted Pan Chongche to defend Kuizhou for a generation, that is, Chongqing in Badong, to have a chance to attack Shu.
Who knew that Pan Chongche was so powerful that he directly defeated the Song army and obtained a large area of Shu land. Although Hanzhong no longer had a bit of regret, this was not important.
Because the essence of Shu Kingdom is there, the Tang Dynasty won the battle again, and it defeated the Song army openly, greatly dispelling the mentality of fearing the Central Plains like a tiger. After arriving in Langzhou, the Shu soldiers and their families were taken into custody by the Langzhou patrol soldiers and went to Shaozhou, where there were a lot of wilderness waiting to be reclaimed!
