The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 440 Sending troops to Anshi Prefecture

After Zhang Shigui arrived, Li Chengqian asked him to lead an army of tens of thousands to escort the captives and the people of Liaodong City to Youzhou.

And also wrote a letter to Lu Tian, ​​the current head of Fan Yang's Lu family.Let him help the governor of Youzhou to resettle these tens of thousands of immigrants.And confess that they must not be treated as slaves.

It is necessary to give these people a sense of belonging and let them slowly integrate into the lives of the common people in Datang.

After dealing with all this, Li Chengqian rested in Liaodong City for a few days.Until Zhang Shigui returned to Liaodong City with all the horses.

Li Chengqian is ready to lead his troops to leave Liaodong City.In the end, Zhang Long was asked to lead 5 people to guard Liaodong City, and Li Chengqian and Zhang Shigui led 10 people to Anshi Prefecture.

At the same time, Zhang Long was ordered to continue to build a giant pontoon bridge, which will come in handy when he crosses the Yalu River.

……

Anshi Prefecture plus Liaodong City, Phoenix City, and Jili City are the four big cities east of the Yalu River.If you want to cross the Yalu River, you must first win these four cities.

(In the previous article, Dragon Soul mentioned that Li Chengqian was going to cross the Yalu River and encircled Jili City with Li Shimin. The previous text was revised.)
Now Liaodongcheng has been occupied by Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin hoarded troops in Jili City.And this Anshi Prefecture is the only way to Jili City.

Li Chengqian must first take down Anshi Prefecture before he can understand what Jili City is.It's just that there are no famous generals in Anshi Prefecture.

The reason is that the two Pu brothers from Liaodong City and Zhang Hanlin from Jili City are enough to reassure Gai Suwen.In addition, there are no famous generals sent to every city.

So Li Chengqian didn't take Anshizhou seriously, and didn't use the method of sneak attack.It's an upright army pressing down on the situation.

After all, the news of the fall of Liaodong City is no longer a secret.And thinking about taking Anshi Prefecture without anyone noticing, it would not be an easy task.

Since it was impossible to sneak around, Li Chengqian was going to have a head-to-head confrontation.Take Anshizhou down with your own true strength.

After Xiaoxing stayed overnight for a few days, Li Chengqian arrived five miles away from Anshi Prefecture.And set up camp directly.

At this time, Jin Changsheng, the leader of Anshi Prefecture, also received the news.Knowing that Li Chengqian led troops to Anshi Prefecture.So the generals in the city were gathered together.

"Everyone, the Tang army has already set up camp five miles outside the city. I wonder if any of you would like to go out of the city to meet the Tang army?" Jin Changsheng asked everyone.

When they heard Tang Jun coming one by one, they bowed their heads and remained silent.After all, even the Pu Budao brothers in Liaodong City, leading 20 horses, did not stop them.

With only 5 horses in Anshi Prefecture, how can it compete with Tang Jun.So naturally no one asked for a fight.

This made Jin Changsheng a little displeased, and he said with a gloomy face, "The Generalissimo handed over this Anshi Prefecture to us, and we have to guard this Anshi Prefecture even if we die."

At this time, someone came to report that Jin Changsheng's son Jin Mu had returned.This made Jin Changsheng overjoyed, and he ordered someone to bring his son in.

It turned out that Jin Changsheng had a son named Jin Mu, who followed his master to practice martial arts in the mountains in the early years.I have been away from home for more than ten years now.

Not long after, Jin Mu walked in, and directly saluted Jin Changsheng and said, "I have seen my father."

"Why did you come back suddenly? Could it be that your master ordered you to go down the mountain after you have learned all the martial arts?" Jin Changsheng stepped forward and pulled his son and asked.

"Reporting to father, master said that father is in trouble now, and specially asked me to come down the mountain to help father." Jin Mu said directly to Jin Changsheng.

Hearing Jin Mu's words, Jin Changsheng couldn't help showing joy.And said: "I don't know how you have learned these years, but what unique skills do you have?"

"Master taught me eighteen kinds of martial arts with swords, spears, swords and halberds. Although I dare not say that I am proficient in all of them, I can do it easily. But my child is best at using a mace, so the master specially built a heavy-duty sword for him. Eighty catties of mace."

"And this mace is not an ordinary mace. There is a control mechanism on the mace, which can kill the enemy when he is unaware." Jin Mu said to Jin Changsheng.

"I don't know where your mace is now, can you show it to father and the generals." Jin Cangsheng said with a smile on his face.

Jin Mu said, "He asked father and the generals to wait for a while, and I'll go get the mace right away."

It turned out that when Jin Mu came in, he left the mace at the door.After all, this is where my father works, so it's impolite to bring weapons in.

So he took back his mace not long after, and showed the extraordinaryness of this mace in front of his father and the lieutenants.

To say that this Jin Mu is also young and vigorous, and his father Jin Changsheng is also a rich man.Often these things are secrets that are not passed on, and it is their father and son who show off openly like this.

However, the two of them didn't feel that what they did was wrong.And Jin Mu said arrogantly: "Father, wait for my son to go out of the city and kill one or two Tang generals to come back, so as to show that Anshi Prefecture is not a place where he can come whenever he wants."

Jin Changsheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and immediately ordered a lieutenant to mobilize 5000 troops to watch the enemy for Jinmu.

……

"Your Highness, there is a young Goguryeo general outside. He is chastising the enemy outside the gate." A soldier walked into the Chinese army tent and said to Li Chengqian.

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Yuchi Baolin stood up and said, "Your Highness, brothers Zhao and Qin are considered to have stole the limelight in Liaodong City. Just leave it to me, Yuchi Baolin, for a while."

Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Then you take your troops to fight. By the way, let Princess Tulu watch the enemy for you, so that I won't worry about you."

"Well, ever since I married a capable daughter-in-law, she has robbed me of all my light, Yuchi Baolin." After sighing, Yuchi Baolin turned around and left the tent of the Chinese army.

But Zhang Shigui opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any good generals in Anshi Prefecture. Today's incident seems a little strange."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help nodding his head again and again, after all, it was based on the strength of Anshi Prefecture.The most suitable thing is to stick to the city to delay time, rather than take the initiative to fight.

So he stood up and said, "Why don't you go to the front of the two armies with me and see what Jin Changsheng is up to."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead to step out of the tent of the Chinese army, followed by the others.

At this time, Yuchi Baolin had already brought her Vermilion Bird guards and set up a battle outside the gate.
