Chapter 1043 Youzhou sends troops
The good thing that happened in Taiyuan Prefecture, Hong Mudan's spies immediately sent the news back to Youzhou.
Li De decided not to let Li Shimin take away the newly recruited soldiers. Strengthening the strength of Wagang City will hinder future recovery.
Compared to Li Yuan in Chang'an, he cared more about Li Shimin in Wagang City. He might be able to meet Li Shimin this time. If he could capture him directly, he would save a lot of trouble.
With 300,000 vanguard troops deployed, Youzhou's defensive power was directly pulled half.
In an emergency, the vanguard soldiers must seize the time to arrive before Taiyuan Prefecture recruitment. The commanders are all excited to finally make them gallop on the battlefield.
Pei Qingxuan personally led the troops to mobilize. At present, the generals of Youzhou are the highest reputation. Li De assigned her subordinates are very powerful, including Xiong Kuohai, Cheng Zhijie, You Junda, Pei brothers, etc.
This time, we really have to use force to conquer, so all the 300,000 soldiers were dispatched elites, and even the Hu Ben guards were sent out.
"His Royal Highness of Qin, the number of soldiers and horses in Youzhou was found thirty miles away, with at least 300,000."
"The vanguard army chose to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, but we can't sit still and wait for death."
Li Shimin is very smart and cannot defend Taiyuan Prefecture. He has not had many soldiers here, and he has not yet recruited 60,000 soldiers yet, and he has not yet taken shape in battle.
"Wuji, we must take people away. We cannot wait for the vanguard to siege the city, so it will be too late."
Li Shimin didn't need to explain much, Changsun Wuji was faster than anyone else.
The vanguard troops dispatched them to stay was equivalent to the opportunity for the other party to siege them. Sooner or later, Taiyuan Prefecture will change its ownership, and they will not be able to stop the other party even if they keep guarding.
"Okay, I'll inform the troops to evacuate immediately."
Changsun Wuji acted very quickly and must not be surrounded by the vanguard soldiers, otherwise they would definitely lose no matter what.
The Taiyuan Prefecture has less than 30,000 garrisons, which are some of the people brought back by Li Jiancheng. Because Li Yuan's summoning Li Jiancheng had no time to care about his troops.
He believed in Li Yuan very much, but now these people have become the troops guarding Taiyuan Prefecture. Li Shimin had no intention of taking these people away from the beginning.
Because he had the authority to take over Taiyuan Prefecture, he did not have the authority to dispatch these troops.
After Li Shimin and his men left Taiyuan Prefecture City, they thought they wanted to resist the vanguard soldiers but they knew that they were gone forever.
He hurriedly left with 60,000 people, and continued to rush to continue his journey.
Pei Qingxuan led 300,000 troops to the back city of Taiyuan Prefecture and found out that only 30,000 garrison soldiers could rely on.
Pei Qingxuan is very sure of this battle. If she cannot win two cities, she will disband all of them.
"Send someone to send letters to the city."
Pei Qingxuan was not prepared to create a terrifying and solemn atmosphere, but kept a certain distance from the city. The main diplomatic means was negotiation.
Three hundred thousand vanguard soldiers wanted to take over the city, and all the garrison forces in the city gave up resistance and accepted control. The people in the city should not go out without notice.
The city guard is in charge of people preparing to hand over things.
The content in the letter is very detailed, as long as the Pioneer is followed, the process is carried out to ensure that no one is harmed.
The Taiyuan Mansion was silent and no one responded. This was no longer something they could decide. They could only wait for everyone's opinions.
There is no chance of winning against 300,000. If you defend the city to the death, the result may be worse. The letter delivered to them is already very clear. If you do not agree to the peaceful transfer of the city, they will be attacked by the vanguard.
They had no choice at all, and there were many reasons why they were reluctant to respond. Just like there were many people in the city who were already concentrating their family property and wanted to escape from the city as soon as possible.
Some people directly found a place to bury all the valuable things and then dug them out after they survived the war.
Everyone has their own tricks, especially the officials who manage Taiyuan Prefecture often pay attention to the situation in Youzhou. They know that after the vanguard soldiers take over the city, they will not be treated like this now, so they took advantage of this time to start sorting out accounts, and they made a calculation of how much they could get.
People are panic, and they create a tense atmosphere for themselves.
In one day, there was no extra time for those people. After seeing that the vanguard soldiers did not siege the city of Taiyuan, the gates of the city were all lined up to leave the city.
Pei Qingxuan did not stop him. Although he did not clearly state the issue of the people staying or leaving in the letter, it would be okay for someone to leave.
The forced melon is not sweet. Besides, those who can leave now are people with some power or wealth, and the main ones are people with close relationships with Tang State.
These people will not have a good effect even if they stay, so it is better to let them leave.
As for the officials who fled in the circle, there is no way to stop them. Pei Qingxuan knew very well that it would be possible to stop them, but it would save trouble. Anyway, if the accounts are not matched, they can take action against the officials who are left behind.
The letter has been written clearly. If those officials still want to do this, then she cannot blame her for being ruthless.
"The day has come, and people blocked the city gate for me and waited for them to open it."
The people in the city have a good idea, but Pei Qingxuan will not give them a chance to escape. If you want to leave, you can leave openly.
In the city, there were already long rows of streets in Taiyuan Prefecture, basically all of which were carriages. They spent a day packing their things and waiting at the city gate early in the morning.
They would leave as soon as the city gate opened, many of them were officials from Taiyuan Prefecture. As for staying for negotiations, they never thought that nothing was more important than their own lives.
Just when they waited until the city gate was opened, the soldiers guarding the city had already seen Taiyuan Prefecture being surrounded, and the 300,000 cavalry made them shudder.
In this case, the soldiers guarding the city were very scared. Opening the city gate now means giving their lives to the other party. For safety reasons, the city gate said that nothing could be opened.
Things that concern the overall situation are not something that they defend the city can decide.
"The city gate has not been opened yet."
"Send a sound, only one stick of incense can open the city gate, otherwise the vanguard will use force to attack the city, and all the previous promises will be cancelled."
Commitment is based on proactive cooperation and peaceful resolution to be effective. If you are stubborn, you can only force it.
The soldiers who passed the message still did not move after they came back. Don’t you know that the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall were in a very heavy mood. They were very anxious that 300,000 soldiers were going to attack the city after a stick of incense. What should they do?
"General, can you open the city gate?"
The soldiers were waiting for orders, but the prefect in the city did not say anything. When the officials found that the prefect was actually queuing up to travel, everyone knew that the prefect could no longer count on it.
