Chapter 236 Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but the tigers are exhausted
Kang Huaiying, whose original name was Kang Huaizhen, was originally a native of Yanzhou where the Taining Army was located. So if Zhu Jin was still the son-in-law of Zikejang and took over his father-in-law's territory... Kang Huaiying accepted the fact that the Taining Army changed its ownership and became the following school of Zhu Jin's account.
In history, Zhu Wen killed Zhu Xuan and expelled Zhu Jin. Kang Huaiying was plundering food and wages from Zhu Jin and Feng. When Pei was plundering food and wages, Rong Wei Yanzhou, but he bumped into Ge Congzhou, who was the best at fighting surprise attacks. He knew he was defeated and had to surrender. Zhu Wen was very happy to hear that he was brave and appointed Kang Huaiying as a military academy. Therefore, according to his original historical record, he should have been a famous general of the Later Liang Dynasty.
Of course, Li Tianqu was also very clear that among the troops he controlled, there was a general like Kang Huaiying, who should be promoted more. In theory, Zhu Wen had originally successively annexed the Balance and Taining, and influenced several vassal states, and then turned his attention to Li Maozhen, who threatened the Emperor of Tang in the west, and began to try to control the center of the court, Kang Huaiying would have won many opportunities to make achievements and surrendered to the military academy and entered the Houliang Yuanxun Group, which was qualified to be appointed as a governor of the side.
The main reason is that the war against Li Maozhen, the powerful vassal in the northwest, was the most outstanding. He successively defeated Fengxiang, Longyou, and even Li Maozhen's ally Li Zhouyi's ally, and in the wars of several vassal yamen in Fufang, Fufang, the unit of Li Zhouyi, Kang Huaiying dared to fight tens of thousands of enemy troops with more than a thousand cavalry, and suffered a night attack, but only led his troops to meet the enemy. He fought with more than a dozen sores on his body to fight and fight. Then he took advantage of the situation to more than fifty camps... It can be seen that he is also a brave general who dares to fight and dares to fight and is good at fighting.
However, Kang Huaiying's life record seemed to be a bit high and low. He was defending Luzhou. He could not defeat the Jin general Zhou Dewei. He was killed so that he led more than a hundred cavalry to escape. Liu Zhijun turned against Zhu Wen. Kang Huaiying was ordered to go to the expedition, but was killed and defeated, and was avoided... In this way, he was still somewhat different from the top and first-class generals in his command of the army and command.
However, since Kang Huaiying can also fight for the momentum of Li Maozhen, who can be called the King of Northwest, successively suffered losses of soldiers and generals, Li Tianqu Sifu still has certain strength, and is not just a small expert in abuse. Only the coach with more outstanding command ability can control the overall situation, and Kang Huaiying's attack on the deputy should be competent. It was also Li Tianqu who intentionally dispatched Kang Huaiying's subordinates to patrol the border in southern Yizhou, and would also be the vanguard of advancing into the Jianghuai River, and gain more opportunities to accumulate military achievements.
At present, Kang Huaiying was only an in-class school in the Dental Department after all, and she had not yet had the chance to make outstanding achievements. She had indeed been holding back and forth. He was alone and danced his spear, and he really rushed back and forth from the chaotic enemy formation. Any bandits who didn't open their eyes to stop him would be overturned!
Seeing this, the other Taining soldiers were very motivated, and they also stepped forward to kill the remnants of the bandits who had been scattered by the impact. However, before they could rush over, Kang Huaiying began to urge the horse to chase the fleeing bandits, and easily raised his gun and stabbed the infantrymen who were facing his back to death. No one could resist in vain.
In addition to the corner of Shiqiao Town, Yizhou, there were also small bandits of thieves invading the border in the south of the two states of Shizhou, and they confronted the Rong Weiya soldiers and launched several small-scale wars. The military information war reports were successively spread to Li Tianqu, and now the time was ripe, so Li Tianqu rushed to Pengcheng, Xuzhou. In addition to Ge Congzhou, most of the two confidant generals, Zhang Guiba, also arrived in Pengcheng, under the orders, and were about to launch military discussions on the Jianghuai war.
After all, Li Tianqu now controls more than just one place, but probably occupies the territory of three semi-fifth vassal states. When he first took office and gradually grew stronger, Zhang Guiba was appointed by Li Tianqu as the Jiedu of Yicheng Army (the title of the title of agent when the position was vacant in the Tang Dynasty). Ge Cong went to the three states on Friday, and made great military achievements with his own ability and also won the position of Jiedu of Tianping Army. The two prefectures, Xu and Si, which were originally under the influence of the army, were temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of the Taining Army, which Li Tianqu personally took over.
The vassal states and commanders attacked and annexed each other. Those who won like Li Tianqu appointed local governors on their own, or the vassal states, the mutiny and expelled the throne. The court could not control this chaos at the time, and now it could not control it.
However, now Li Tianqu appointed Zhang Guiba, and Ge Congzhou and others were divided into military forces. Although the Tianping Army still managed the military affairs of the town, the local finance and civil affairs supervision authority were still controlled by the central government. In other words, except for tribute to the fixed share, the rest of the fiscal revenue in various vassal states can meet the needs of the garrison according to the old system, and it is entirely dispatched by the Jiedushi, and even to a certain extent, you can enjoy your personal pockets... But you must remember that your lord is still watching it. At least, you should ensure transparency as much as possible. If you do it too much, what you can give it to you can be collected at any time.
The Jiedushi of the vassal states held the ranks and axes, and only held the power of life and death when they went to war. As for rewards, punishments, promotions, and transfers, the local Jiedushi left a certain quota for staff to be dismissed independently, and the rest of the generals and officials were still controlled by Li Tianqu according to the previous idea of establishing the Privy Council.
In this way, while ensuring that the generals of all walks of life lead a personal army and ensuring combat effectiveness, it also prevents the intensification of the phenomenon of "only knowing the kindness and power of their generals, but not the emperor (lord)" of various vassal states.
After all, Li Tianqu didn't want to be Wang Mang of this era. If the system of vassal states was abolished immediately, it would undoubtedly be too hasty. He would step by step reduce the power of the towns and the governors, but at present, he still had to let the independent generals have their own military team, general system, and even have some power to gain, and even retain a certain amount of power to cultivate their own confidants.
Otherwise, if the authority of the Jiedushi was directly reduced to the honorary title of the Song Dynasty, which was treated well but did not hold real power... They were obviously able to be the Jiedushi who was in charge of the power by relying on military achievements. They wanted money, soldiers, and power... Then why not surrender to the heroes such as Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, and Yang Xingmi instead of seeking you Li Tianqu?
In this way, except for Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba, two meritorious generals appointed by Li Tianqu as the governor and the descendants of Yu Yicheng, the two vassal states in Tianping, and most of the generals who were valued by Li Tianqu gathered together. They looked at the lord who was in charge of Yu Zheng and said, "It's almost time..."
As expected, Sun Ru and Yang Xingmi had the upper hand in the battle between them, conquering Run, Chang and Suzhou, and concentrated their forces to attack Xuanzhou, which Yang Xingmi defended. Yang Xingmi lost consecutive battles and was overwhelmed. With the strong advice of Yuan Xi, Liu Wei, Dai Yougui and other subordinates, he gave up the idea of abandoning the city and retreating. He defended the city so hard that he fought a protracted battle with Xuancheng, a thief army under Sun Ru. He survived until the dilemma of Sun Ru's army was facing the dilemma of lack of food and grass...
He fed for living people, and the innocent people captured had a long time to finish their food. Sun Ru had to send troops to various prefectures and counties to burn, kill and loot, and plunder the military rations. Not only did he fight with Qian Liu, the soldiers and horses of Hangzhou defense commander. He was hungry and fled, and there were still small groups of soldiers and horses invaded the territory under the rule of Li Tianqu in the north... This is enough to prove that Sun Ru was about to fight to the end of his life.
However, in the face of Sun Ru's final madness, Yang Xingmi gritted his teeth and resisted it, and now he was definitely not feeling well... Now he is like a boxer who has been beating the opponent on the ring. He finally waited for the opportunity to counterattack, but he was already bruised and swollen. So whether it was Sun Ru or Yang Xingmi, they are at the weakest time now... Li Tianqusi was paying his respects, and suddenly grew up and said loudly:
"Two tigers eat cattle, and they will fight for food. If they fight, they will fight. If they fight, the big ones will be injured and the small ones will die. If they are injured and stabbed, they will be called two tigers in one fell swoop... Now that the two tigers in Jianghuai have been exhausted, our army should take action."
