(Two updates and one update)

Since Yuwen Tai established the Guanlong clan, he has gone through several dynasties of Wei, Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties. Dozens of emperors have changed like passing clouds, but in fact it can be regarded as a continuation of an interest group.

After hundreds of years of war, the dynasty changed its name, and the emperor changed it several times like a lantern, but the Guanlong clan has always been the core.

For hundreds of years, two people failed to challenge. Yang Guang wanted to support the Jiangzuo family to fight against the Guanlong family, but failed. During the Jiangdu Incident, Yu Wen and the people who killed Tathagata protectors and Yu Shiji were from Jiangnan family members like Yu Shiji.

As for Wu Zetian, it is also an example. After her death, her Wu family's turmoil disappeared.

Therefore, to fight against the Guanlong family, a new interest group must be established.

It has to be admitted that the elites of this era were still gentry. The gentry was able to dominate for hundreds of years, not only because they monopolized a large number of resources, connections and knowledge. In the Heyin Incident in history, Erzhu Rong slaughtered more than 2,000 gentry children, but did not shake the foundation of the gentry. Zhu Wen's White Horse and Yi disaster killed only more than 30 people. Taking the Guanlong clan as an example, the characteristics of the gentry children in the Guanlong clan were to integrate the military talents of the Hu Han ethnic group. People in this group were prime ministers when they entered, and generals when they left, and there was no matter how civil and military divisions were divided (Note 1). In addition to the civil and military methods, the Guanlong clans knew a little about farming techniques, animal raising methods, carpenters, etc. At that time, scholars did not distinguish between beans and wheat, even if this person had no wisdom. So as long as it was not that kind of two.

Shizu, the children of scholars with a little ambition, have the ability to fight and dismount and manage the local area. It is precisely because they do not need to pass the imperial examination method to become officials, so what they learned is all things they can apply. On the contrary, Li Tang later became a Jinshi and used the principles of poetry, songs and essays. He really didn't know what the role of poetry, songs and essays have in governing the country and pacifying the world, and many of them were useless scholars. The purpose of the birth of the imperial examination was not to promote poor families, but to curb the power of the gentry. The power of selecting materials for the gentry to recommend officials to each other was seized by the court itself. Li Chongjiu promoted the imperial examination and popularized county schools, and county schools were also to strengthen the power of poor families, but to seize the world.

Relying on the support of poor families, the opposite and support of the gentry is also a very important part of the general trend. Therefore, establishing the Hebei Group, winning over the Shandong Gaomen, and forming a clan against the Guanlong Group is what Li Chongjiu needs. After Li Chongjiu said this to Cui Renshi, the Cui family immediately sent people to come and agreed to this marriage. Such top aristocratic families among the world, such as the Hongnong Yang family, the Lanling Xiao family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Boling Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, and the Taiyuan Wang family have officially joined the Dazhao. Many of them have children on the Dazhao official and firmly stood on Li Chongjiu's side. In addition to these six major geniuses, the second-rate aristocratic family, such as the Bohai Gao family, the Taiyuan Wen family, and the Hedong Xue family, have also produced a group of generals and ministers.

The lack of some time-honored background, but the real power is not inferior to the above first-class aristocratic clans. These nine aristocratic clans formed a confrontation with the Guanlong clans of Li Tang. Coupled with the Luoyang embargo and the civil strife within Li Tang, this is where Li Chongjiu won before the decisive battle between Li Tang. After the formation of the aristocratic clans, the accumulation of general trend was completed. The following is the actual matter, that is, to follow the trend. After Luoyang appeased the people, Li Chongjiu sent people to various counties and counties in Henan through the power of several major gentry clans. The foundation of Li Tang was not reliable in the counties and counties in Henan. At that time, Wang Shichong forced himself to the rank of warlords. Although he was able to suppress the local areas with powerful military power for a while, he did not surrender the gentry clans with roots to form a reliable interest group.

Cao Cao used the emperor to order the princes to make Cao Wei replace the Han Dynasty for decades to support his interest groups. Wang Shichong was too short, and his methods were far less skillful than Cao Cao, and at most he was Erzhu Rong.

Therefore, after Wang Shichong attacked Zheng in Li Tang, he became betrayal of his relatives. After losing to Li Shimin in the field, his only capital was gone, so the counties and counties in Henan all raised their flags to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Zheng State was captured between Tang and Zhao within less than half a year.

而之后李渊攻下河南后,因为没有夺取洛阳,也不敢对河南当地豪强势力,采取太大的动作,多半是留用当初降官,最多只是要了人质,派亲信将领把守一些要害的地方.所以对于李重九而言,与李唐争取河南当地豪强势力,就显得十分关键.这能否成功的关键,其中一个是靠自身势力,还有一个就是看彼此的人脉关系.李重九一声令下风闻司的细作,皆是一起动作起来.河南豪强大族中本就有不少人的亲戚,或者家中子弟在大赵仕官,特别这一次河南大行

台的设立,数百洛阳子弟的出仕赵国,这些人的家里,不是士族出身,就是累世官宦,多年来积攒下的人脉,以及亲属,与当下河南豪强中不少也是沾亲带故.这些官吏得到李重九的授意,加上为了自己的仕途前程考虑,都是开始往熟识的人那去信,要他们归附.他们的信件顿时送往河南各郡县之中,虽说领兵的大将和郡官的一把手都为李唐掌控,但是大将下面的将领,还有郡县里的佐贰官,可都是当地人,他们从自身家族的前途考量,都会做出自己的判断.

There were still people who had fantasies before that if Li Tang succeeded in counterattacking Luoyang, then now with Li Yuan's retreat, it means that Li Tang is no longer able to conquer Luoyang.

Luoyang, the political and economic center of Henan, has always been under the hands of Li Chongji. With the Zhao Navy, the Navy can be used to mobilize troops through the Tongji Canal at any time, so the strategic advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu's army still kept its troops in Luoyang, and the Tang soldiers, generals, and officials at all levels who came to Luoyang from various counties in Henan came to Luoyang to join the army one after another. They were simply endless, with dozens of people every day. These people also made Li Chongjiu see the final plan of transferring Henan, how Li Yuan dealt with Wang Shichong, and Li Chongjiu is now using it to deal with Li Yuan.

It is almost like the replay of Li Tang's routine of attacking Wang Shichong. The situation where the Henan gentry and his family defected to Li Tang in Guanzhong has now become a family relationship with his family and his family defected to Zhao State.

河南各郡县顿时风声鹤唳一片,各郡县长官对此都无可奈何,属下都是本地人,现在生了异心有什么办法,至于他们未免也有降赵的打算.不足一个月,李重九已是动摇了河南的根基,这时候李唐河南大行台已是设立了.李重九决定不给李孝恭机会,提前率军亲征,要一战席卷河南.这一次他的目标是梁郡,攻下开封,夺取汴水,打通通济渠.只要通济渠一打通

,从洛阳坐船就可以直达江都,河南道大行台与江南道大行台的兵马就可以调动自如.李重九于洛阳点将,薛万彻的武卫军,单雄信的侯卫军,以及王薄,孟海公诸将,还有从河南各郡来投奔的豪族一共五万人马,还有从黄河进入边水的程名振一万水师,一共六万大军,对于开封李重九势在必得.点兵之后,李重九从洛阳宫城坐着战舰,沿着洛水直出了洛阳城.

Every time I walk this waterway, Li Chongjiu is extremely grateful to Yang Guang for building this Grand Canal. The starting point of this Grand Canal is directly in Shanglin Garden near Luoyang Palace.

That is, if Li Chongjiu goes from Luoyang Palace to Youjing or Jiangdu, he doesn’t need to take a step by himself, and he can complete the journey without hesitation.

The section of canal from Shanglinyuan to Luoyang was built by Zhang Chun during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yang Guang was only used on the spot.

The fleet walked northeast along the Luoshui River, passed Yanshi and Luokou, and arrived at the intersection of Luoshui River and the Yellow River. It met with Cheng Mingzhen's 10,000 naval troops and 300 grain ships dispatched from Luokou Cang. Suddenly, the entire river was filled with the Zhao army's fleet.

With the dispatch of grain ships, the hardships of tens of thousands of civilians transporting food and grass on the roads will undoubtedly be saved. Now the Zhao army is used to the fighting methods of grain ships accompanying the army.

This is also the convenience brought by the Grand Canal.

It was already autumn, and the autumn frost had arrived. The solemn atmosphere of the autumn wind could be heard from north to south of the Yellow River. The turbid waves on the Yellow River were surging. The Zhao fleet, loaded with armored soldiers, military rations, and siege weapons, drove a section of the Yellow River and entered the canal from Banzhu, Xingyang. At this time, the fleet turned to the southeast.

The predecessor of Tongji Canal was Bianqu, and the predecessor of Bianqu was Honggou, and the wishful Chu River and Hanjie Realm of Chu.

Since the Tongji Canal leads Huang to Huai, the Zhao army fleet goes downstream like a broken bamboo.

From Xingyang, go down through Zhongmu and arrive at Kaifeng. Kaifeng is the capital of Wei Daliang in the past. When the King of Qin destroyed Wei, the general Wang Ben dug the Yellow River here and flooded the city of Daliang. After destroying Wei, Daliang was razed by Qin.

Now the Liangbian land where Kaifeng is located has become very prosperous again because of the canal.

A hundred years later, Du Fu wrote a poem to describe the prosperity of Liang County. When I visited the Song Dynasty, only King Xiao of Liang was the capital. It is famous today. It is now Chenliuya, and the opera is Beiwei. Ninety thousand families in the town, and the high buildings shine on the thoroughfare. The boats and cars are half a day, and the host and guests are entertained. Li Tang was stationed in Liang, and the general Cheng Jiahui of the two states of Bianzhou was the king. The king wanted the Han Dynasty. Li Chongji's army had just entered the Tongji Canal, Liang and Bianzhou cities. The cities were already in full swing.

Many Li Tang garrisons left their men and horses overnight and fled from the city. Many counties and counties made a decision by promulgation, and even the important town Shangqiu surrendered without fighting. The Li Tang magistrate, who was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, took the initiative to change his flag and announced his surrender to Zhao. Cheng Jiahui, and Wang Yaohan knew that the surrounding cities could not be defended, so he led his troops to gather in Kaifeng City to try to make a try. At the end of September of the second year of the reform, autumn rose slowly, and the fields outside Kaifeng City were now a red ocean. Li Chongjiu's 60,000 troops landed in Kaifeng. There were tall tower ships far and near on the water, turfs walking close to the shore, and deep water, and full loads of grain ships. The huge tower ship swayed and approached the city of Kaifeng. The towering hull was almost as high as the city wall.

The Tang soldiers on the wall looked at Zhao Jun's huge hull painted with black ship paint and the masts of the towering trees, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva and their faces turned cold.

On the boat, the Zhao army soldiers were carrying teams of Zhao army soldiers. On the bank of the Bianshui River, various siege equipment piled up like mountains on the shore. Cheng Jiahui and Wang Yaohan stood on the bow and saw it stunned. "The Hou Wei Army stationed in Shan Xiongxin, Youjing Wu Wei Army, and Cheng Mingzhen's inland water naval divisions have all come. These are all elite soldiers and generals of Zhao State." Cheng Jiahui's voice was trembling. Before Cheng Jiahui finished speaking, he had not finished speaking. At the far end, Zhao's flags joined one side, and various horses were born.

The tiger gathered at the city, and even the imperial flag of the Emperor of Zhao appeared in the sky. Seeing that even the Emperor of Zhao Li Chongjiu had arrived, Wang Yaohan couldn't help but take it away. At this time, Li Chongjiu led a large army to look at the head of Kaifeng city and asked to his left and right: "Do you refuse to surrender?" At this time, General Luo Shixin held his fists and said, "Is it true that he has the old age to guard Wang Yaohan, and he can go and persuade him to surrender." Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay." Luo Shixin immediately led a group of people and horses through thousands of troops and said to the top of the city: "General Wang can be here

? Luo Shixin had something to say, if the friendship between him and his brother was still there, please come and see him." Wang Yaohan was stunned and saw that the general riding a horse and holding an iron spear under the city was not Luo Shixin or anyone else. Wang Yaohan met Cheng Jiahui and the soldiers on the city all looked at him, and waved his hand and said, "I must have come to persuade him to surrender, I will never see him." Luo Shixin under the city saw that Wang Yaohan did not answer and continued, "Your brother Wang Bodang, followed Pushan Gong, died with him at the hands of Master Sheng Yan. Brother irreconcilable,

Now that you are serving Li Tang, where will your brother be placed, it is better to abandon Tang and return to Zhao as soon as possible." Wang Yaohan heard that he was clenched, and Cheng Jiahui hurriedly said, "Brother Wang doesn't have to be solicited by this person. We all know that your little family is in Chang'an and will never rebel against Tang." Wang Yaohan nodded and said, "Just Brother Cheng believes me. But this person is really hateful. I will send orders to go down and shoot arrows back!" At that moment, arrows shot in the top of Kaifeng City. Luo Shixin was extremely brave and raised his gun to pick several arrows under the city. Seeing Luo Shixin's skills, the three troops of Zhao praised him.

The Zhao army flags danced under the city, and the three armies shouted loudly. Wang Yaohan saw an arrow shot, not only did not suppress the morale of the Zhao army, but instead was so arrogant that he frowned.

Luo Shixin said a few more words, and saw that there was no movement on the city, he immediately led his troops back. Luo Shixin returned to the central army and reported to Li Chongjiu: "Report to your Majesty, the city general refused to surrender, and a general asked to order the city to attack himself."

After hearing Luo Shixin say this, Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "You don't have to be angry. These two Tang generals do not know the times, but they are just destroying themselves. In less than a few days, someone will put the heads of these two people in front of my case."

At the same time, thousands of miles away from the frontier, north of Huangshui.

The Yellow River is just autumn at this time, but it is already a cold winter outside the border. This year's winter seems to be earlier than before. Many cattle and sheep on the grassland have not gained weight in autumn, so it is easy to suffer from this year's cold winter.

However, for Guo Xiaoke, the most concerned thing is not the one he is now. He is now leading his troops and is already on the north bank of Huangshui.

It turned out that there had been drastic changes on the grassland recently. The 200,000 Turkic cavalry led by Jie Li Khan entered Tuli's territory after passing through Daluopo.

Tuli's reaction was not slow at all. As soon as the news of Jie Li's dispatch of troops came out, he quickly assembled various troops, and nearly 70,000 to 80,000 people confronted Jie Li Khan. Although his troops were inferior to Jie Li's army, Tuli had the advantage of geographical advantage. He guarded all the passes. Although Jie Li's troops were numerous, he could do nothing to him.

But Tuli was very afraid of his uncle and took the initiative to ask Guo Xiaoke of the Songmo Protectorate of Zhao State for help.

After Guo Xiaoke learned about it, he asked Tuli to stand firm and wait for reinforcements without hesitation. He mobilized the Xi tribe, Khitan, Mohe, Dingling, and Han troops in the territory and gathered 30,000 troops to cross Huangshui to reinforce Tuli.

However, before Guo Xiaoke's troops arrived, he heard about the sudden victory and disastrous defeat.

It turned out that Jie Li Khan took the risk and sent people to attack Tielangkou at night and plagiarized the Tuli army behind it. Jie Li's adventure was successful. After hearing that the retreat was cut off, the Tuli army was in chaos. At this time, Jie Li led his army to launch an attack from the front.

Tuli's army collapsed thousands of miles away. Tuli only led five or six thousand troops to protect his family, barely breaking out of a bloody road, breaking through the siege, and throwing all his tribe members to Jie Li.

When Guo Xiaoke heard the news, he couldn't help but curse. He suddenly lost and lost, but now he has crossed Huangshui. If Jie Li's victorious army blocked the killing at this time, then his army would soon be in danger.

Guo Xiaoke is in a dangerous place now, and he did not send troops to retreat quickly. The night is approaching, so he will have to wait for this night at least. Moreover, the fear of retreating will spread to the entire army at this time. If the camp is bombed, it will be bad.

While asking Guo Xiaoke to build a camp to prepare for defense, he also sent out scouts to search north.

Just after Guo Xiaoke was stationed in Xiadaying, the scouts reported that cavalry indeed appeared on the north side of the grassland, but it was not Jie Li's army, but Chu Li's defeated army.

After hearing this, Guo Xiaoke stood up, ran outside the tent and jumped on his war horse, leading a dozen personal soldiers out of the gate and headed north.

Guo Xiaoke rode north for a while and finally saw Tuli's troops. He expected Tuli to be defeated miserably, but he did not expect Tuli to be defeated in this field.

Looking at Tuli's tired face, it seemed as if she had become decades old. When she saw it, Tuli Khan, who was full of energy and loud voice, seemed to be like a tiger whose backbone had been removed.

Is this the Tuli who swore to ask for the Da Zhao couple at the beginning? Guo Xiaoke looked at Tuli and asked, "Khan."

Tuli shook his head and said, "I have lost, I have lost, I have only one of my troops."

‘I’m not asking you this, I’m asking you where Jie Li’s army is?’

‘Jie Li?’Turning smiled bitterly and said, ‘Don’t worry, Jie Li did not chase him, but Jie Li led the army south to Youjing!’
