Chapter 1090: Recovering Youzhou (2)


Wen Haoran asked the soldiers outside to prepare some wine and food, and the two sat face to face, drinking and eating food while talking.

"Mr.

Liu, why did you propose in the morning to let brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao lead troops to help recover Youzhou and other areas of Lulong?

The imperial court meant that as long as they surrender, the generals of the feudal town must be transferred.

This principle cannot be changed."

Liu Daoqian took a sip of wine and ate a bite of food, and then said: "Master Wen, as far as I know, the Mobei Army is basically cavalry.

If you want to attack the city and take out the stronghold, you will have to pay a lot of casualties, and it will take a long time.

If Jiu can regain all the areas in Youzhou and Lulong as soon as possible, the army can quickly move south Join Gao Xiuyan's tribe and jointly attack Li Baochen, so I considered whether Zhu Si and Zhu Tao could lead troops to assist King Mobei in attacking other areas of Youzhou.

It was not that Zhu Si and Zhu Tao brothers were not transferred, but just a step later.

Wait until all areas of Youzhou and Lulong are recovered before transferring the two of them."

After thinking about it, Wen Haoran asked: "What if the brothers deliberately delayed time during this period?"

Liu Daoqian said: "Of course there must be a deadline, let's take March as the deadline, how about" Wen Haoran weighed it up and agreed: "Okay, if King Mobei can agree and guarantee it, I will write a letter to the king to state the situation here."

The next day, the two sides continued to negotiate, and Wen Haoran said straight to the point: "Yesterday Mr.

Liu said that General Zhu was willing to lead Fan Yang's army to assist King Mobei in regaining Youzhou and other places in Lulong and annihilating Li Yuan.

I wonder if you two can do it."

Lord of General Si" Liu Daoqian had discussed with Zhu Tao last night, and Zhu Tao immediately said: "Yes, my brother has given full authority to the general and Lord Liu to come here this time.

We are willing to lead the army to assist King Mobei in regaining Youzhou and other places in Lulong."

Wen Haoran nodded and said: "Okay, if King Mobei agrees and guarantees it, I can write to the regent to explain the situation.

After regaining Youzhou and Lulong, I will try my best to make peace with the two generals Zhu and Lord Liu.

Even if The demotion and appointment can only be downgraded by one level at most.

This is because of the special situation of Youzhou and Lulong.

So does the imperial court Considering that with the assistance of General Zhu, King Mobei can recover Youzhou and Lulong as soon as possible, but there must be a deadline.

Youzhou and Lulong must be recovered within three months.

If they are not fully recovered after the expiration date, the two Both General Zhu and Master Liu have to leave their posts and wait for orders.

If they can completely recover Youzhou and Lulong within two months, this contribution will be helpful to the three new positions.

The imperial court will definitely consider it as appropriate.

It’s not appropriate for me to say more here.”

The other prefectures and counties in Youzhou and Lulong are not of concern.

The only one who still has some strength is the Li Yuan tribe who fled to Yingzhou.

To regain the entire jurisdiction of Youzhou and Lulong, it is simple to say that as long as the Li Yuan tribe is wiped out, other states and counties They have little strength and dare not confront the imperial court.

It is hard to say that Li Yuan was once an effective general under Li Huaixian.

He was proficient in military strategy and had extraordinary martial arts.

It was not easy to defeat him.

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian had a low-spirited exchange, and then said to Wen Haoran: "Master Wen, since you have agreed, you will do your best, but you still have to ask the prince to complete this matter."

Zhang Shouyu pondered for a moment and agreed: "Okay, I agree and guarantee it, but Zhu Si and you must obey my orders.

If there is any violation, my military law will not show mercy."

"That's natural" Wen Haoran quickly wrote a memorial and sent it to Chang'an eight hundred miles away.

It is the golden October of another year.

Zhao Ziliang has been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for a full year.

This year he has achieved a lot of achievements.

He has reversed the embarrassing situation of the imperial court.

He has conducted a clarification of the corrupt yamen of the imperial court and uncovered the corruption.

A large number of corrupt officials smashed the conspiracy of Pei Mian, Cui Youfu and others.

Shortly after Pei Mian, Cui Youfu, Yuan Zai and a large number of court officials who secretly conspired to cause rebellion were sent to the execution ground, Yang Wan and Chang Gun were finally released from the prison.

They walked out of the door of the prison and squinted their eyes.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Their families had already been waiting outside.

When they saw them coming out, they all cried and rushed towards them.

The two families immediately hugged each other and cried, thankful to be reunited.

"Ahem, Yang Wan, Chang Gun" a voice came from behind everyone.

Hundreds of people from the Yang family and the Chang family turned around when they heard the sound, and saw an official standing not far away with a few followers.

Yang Wan and Chang Gun walked out from the group of relatives and friends, and kept comforting the family members around them, "Don't worry, it's okay.

You guys are waiting here."

The two of them walked up to the official, and Yang Wan held up her hands: "I don't know who you are, sir."

The official cupped his hands and said: "Meng Chujun, the official who is walking in front of the Regent's palace, has an order from the king.

He ordered Yang Wan and Chang Gun to see the king immediately."

Walking in front of the hall is an official position unique to the Prince Regent's Palace.

Even if he is a seventh-rank minor official in the Prince Regent's Palace, he must be greeted by the prime minister when he sees him.

What's more, Yang Wan and Chang Gun no longer have official positions.

The regent's summons was equivalent to the emperor's summons in the past.

No one dared to disobey.

Yang Wan and Chang Gun now did not have any official positions or titles, so they did not dare to disobey.

Chang Gun raised his hands and said: "Sir, please wait a moment."

Wait a moment, the grassroots will come after explaining to their families."

Meng Chujun nodded and acquiesced.

Yang Wan and Chang Gun quickly told their families and then followed Meng Chujun.

What they didn't expect was that they could take a carriage to the Regent's Palace.

At this time, Li Mi was reporting to Zhao Ziliang on the situation in Youzhou.

Li Mi was in charge of matters related to Youzhou, Chengde and Wei Bo.

Except for intelligence and military matters, other matters were under Li Mi's control.

After listening to Li Mi's report, Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said: "Accept Wen Haoran's suggestion and order Zhu Si, Zhu Tao and others to lead the army to assist Zhang Shouyu in regaining Youzhou and Lulong.

This should be completed within three months, and then in accordance with the plan to reduce the vassal state."

Clause III Category Situation The specific appointment will be made after my consideration.

If I can assist Zhang Shouyu to regain all the areas of Youzhou and Lulong within two months, I can consider preferential treatment according to the second category of the vassal reduction clause. them" "Yes, Your Majesty" After Li Mi agreed, he continued to report: "There is another matter.

Zhang Yi, the military envoy of Yongping Army, sent someone to report that Wei Bo's deputy economic envoy Xu Shize secretly sent someone to contact him, saying that he and General Li Changchun conspired to kill Tian Yue. , and blocked the news, hoping to surrender to the imperial court.

This was the king's spontaneous announcement to cut down the vassal.

It was the first time since the order that someone had voluntarily surrendered and handed over military and political power in such a short period of time.

Zhang Yi could not make the decision, but Li Changchun and Xu Shize could not block the news forever, so they sent 800 miles to rush.

Come to Chang'an to report, hoping that the imperial court will reply and make arrangements as soon as possible."

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Reply to Zhang Yi and ask him to tell Xu Shize and Li Changchun to arrange them according to the first category of vassal reduction.

Zhang Yi will be responsible for the tasks he accepts.

Let him hand over to Xu Shize and Li Changchun as quickly as possible."

Send troops into Weizhou, Bozhou and other places."

"Yes" Li Mi agreed with his hand, "In this way, Wei Bojun on the north bank of the Yellow River and Wei Bojun in Beizhou will be homeless."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and immediately shouted: "Send an order to Zang Xiyan to prepare the best preparations for crossing the river.

After Zhang Yi, Li Changchun and others complete the handover, they will immediately spread the news and cause chaos in Wei Bo's army.

At that time, we can launch an attack again."

Annihilate Wei Bo's army on the north bank of the Yellow River, then rush north to Bozhou to join Zhang Yi's tribe, and then attack Wei Bo's army in Beizhou."

The copywriting officer nearby quickly recorded Zhao Ziliang's order and copied it into the official edict, handed it to Zhao Ziliang for inspection, stamped it and sent it out.

This type of military order does not need to be summoned by the emperor to make a decision like a government order, and then reviewed by the Menxia Province, and then executed by the Shangshu Province.

Instead, it is directly ordered by the Regent Palace and sent to the commander-in-chief for execution.

Military and state affairs are very different.

Child's play, the advantage of doing this is that it eliminates some intermediate links to prevent the leakage of military information, and also saves time.

The military orders issued by Zhao Ziliang will be sent to the generals in command as soon as possible, without anyone else's constraints.

Just as the edict was issued, Meng Chujun came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Yang Wan and Chang Gun are here."

"Bring them in" "yes" Yang Wan and Chang Gun quickly walked in, and when they saw Zhao Ziliang, they immediately saluted, "The common people pay homage to the king."

Zhao Ziliang asked them to get up and said: "You did not join forces with Pei Mian, Cui Youfu, Yuan Zai and others.

I am happy for you, and the court has retained two talents.

You have rested in the cell for a long time.

You’ve got enough energy, shouldn’t you do something now?”

"Uh."

The two of them were stunned for a while, and Chang Gun cupped his hands and said, "What does the king mean?"

Zhao Ziliang said: "Although Xichuan is already under the control of the imperial court, it has been several months since civil servants were sent to take over the affairs.

Chang Gun, I have appointed you as the governor of Chengdu.

Do your best in Chengdu.

Now the imperial army has recaptured Youzhou."

In some areas, Youzhou City is also under the rule of the imperial court.

Yang Wan, go to Youzhou and become the governor of Youzhou.

But you have to remember that things are not the same as before.

The governor no longer manages military affairs and only handles political affairs.

Even for trial cases, there are yamen stationed by Dali Temple.

However, as the highest local administrator, you have half of the jurisdiction over the yamen stationed in Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment.

When you go to the local area, you must remember that you are the official of the imperial court.

The imperial court sent you to administer government for the people, not to pursue pleasure and arrogance.

If you have anything to report, you must report it in writing in a timely manner.

You must not hide it or delay reporting it.

Do you understand?"

Yang Wan and Chang Gun had narrowly escaped death this time.

They never expected that they would be able to watch again after they came out, and they went directly to the local prefecture.

Although the prefect's power was now half reduced, he was still the highest in the local administration.

The status of an official is even higher than that of a local defense envoy.

Yang Wan and Chang Gun cried with joy and both prostrated themselves: "I will obey your orders and you will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."

The Zhu Si brothers really worked hard this time.

When they attacked Li Yuan's tribe in Yingzhou, they actually led the troops to attack the city.

They were not afraid of death.

The two brothers continued to fight even though they had several stab wounds on their bodies.

In mid-November, when the weather started to get colder, brothers Zhang Shouyu and Zhu Si finally broke through Yingzhou City and killed Li Yuan and all his subordinates and staff.

The news spread back to Chang'an as quickly as possible, and Zhao Ziliang finally I was so happy for once, The recovery of Lulong finally restored the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai Kingdom, and also restored the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Silla Kingdom.

When these two countries learned that the Tang Dynasty had recovered the Youzhou and Lulong areas, they immediately An envoy was sent to Chang'an to meet with him
