After Wei Bo's Jiedushi envoy Tian Yue was conferred, only Li Baochen and Li Na were left in the largest vassal town in the Tang Dynasty.
Both of them were from barbarians, Li Baochen was from Xi and Li Na was from Goguryeo.
Most of the generals in the vassal towns who were restrained were ban generals.
There were fewer Han generals who disobeyed the imperial control.
On the one hand, this was because Emperor Xuanzong and Li Linfu reused ban generals.
On the other hand, the Han generals were somewhat influenced by the Confucian idea of loyalty to the emperor.
Historically, the main reason why the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to take advantage of these vassal towns was that the Tubo and Mobei barbarians continued to invade, which restricted the Tang Dynasty's large military, financial, material and energy resources.
In this time and space, the Anshi Rebellion ended In the few years after the end of the war, it was also the period when Tubo and barbarians from the northwest and Monan invaded the Tang Dynasty.
This made the Tang Dynasty temporarily unable to completely clean up the remnants of the Anshi Rebellion.
Although Zhao Ziliang later led the Western Qin army to wipe out Tubo, Northwest and Monan. and the barbarians in Monan, but these are the remnants of Anshi.
They have taken advantage of the precious time in the past few years to develop and grow.
Each of them has nearly 100,000 soldiers.
It is impossible for the court to eradicate the feudal town in a short time.
In addition, Daizong The emperor's series of misguided moves during his reign intensified the battles in the court.
The fierce struggles in the court made it impossible for the court to manage the increasingly powerful vassal towns and local government offices, so that it gradually lost control over the vassal towns and many local government offices. .
With so many powerful vassal towns, only Chengde and Ziqing were left in just one year.
Moreover, Chengde is now being sandwiched between the Tang army from the north and the south, and Ziqing is also being led by Li Sheng for more than a dozen people.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attacked fiercely, and Xuzhou had been recovered by Li Sheng.
He killed and captured a large number of Ziqing troops.
After Zhang Yi, Wei Yuanfu and Qu Huan were transferred to Chang'an to report on their duties, Zang Xiyan no longer had any constraints, and Zhao Ziliang's beheading sword was frightening.
Many generals of the Yongping Army, Heyang Army, Huainan Army and Chen Xujun could no longer fight.
Dare to disobey Zang Xiyan's military orders, and the speed and efficiency of the army's northward march were greatly improved.
Faced with this dangerous situation, both Li Baochen and Li Na were extremely frightened.
They wrote to the court to apologize, asking the court to forgive their mistakes, and expressed that they would obey the imperial edicts in the future, hand over fiscal taxes and tributes on time, and resolutely implement them.
All the decrees issued by the imperial court were intended to escape punishment and delay time.
Of course, Zhao Ziliang would not be deceived by Li Baochen and Li Na's clumsy tricks.
He mercilessly rejected Li Baochen and Li Na's pleas for mercy, and sent someone to express his rebuke.
If he wanted to survive, he should take advantage of the situation before they arrived.
When all is lost, surrender immediately and unconditionally.
Don't imagine that the court will be deceived by such clumsy tricks.
Li Baochen and Li Na were unwilling to surrender unconditionally and continued to fight against the imperial army.
However, the situation between these two people was so bad that many generals and officials on both sides began to consider their own way out.
This caused greater trouble for Li Baochen and Li Na to resist the attack of the imperial army.
The battle It has also become more difficult.
On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month in AD 769, the fourth year of the Dali calendar, Zhao Ziliang finally sent someone to summon Zhang Yi, Wei Yuanfu and Qu Huan.
The three of them were led into the lobby of the palace by Du Fu.
After seeing Zhao Ziliang, they all knelt down and paid homage: "I will pay my respects to the king."
"Qu Huan, you get up first," Zhao Ziliang said.
Everyone in the lobby was stunned, including Qu Huan.
He looked at Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu beside him, clasped his fists and saluted again: "After King Xie finished speaking, he got up and stood aside.
At this moment, everyone in the lobby still didn't understand that Zhao Ziliang was dissatisfied with Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu's disregard of the overall situation and sending troops to confront each other, which caused too much impact.
However, a few people also thought of the relationship between Qu Huan and Zhao Ziliang, so they gave such preferential treatment. .
Qu Huan and Zhao Ziliang are related, of course.
Qu Huan's father, Qu Bin, has been an official in Longyou for a long time and twice served as a civilian official under Zhao Ziliang.
Qu Huan grew up in the army.

He was familiar with military books and had the courage to ride.
Shoot, he was only four years younger than Zhao Ziliang.
In the late Anshi Rebellion, Zhao Ziliang was ordered to lead The army went to Longyou to fight back the Tibetan invasion.
At that time, Qu Huan was serving as a general under Zhao Ziliang, but his reputation was not known because of his humble position.
Before going to the Western Qin Dynasty, Zhao Ziliang promoted a group of generals and officers who stayed in the Central Plains.
Qu Huan was one of the generals promoted because of his military exploits.
Qu Huan stood aside and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that this incident had nothing to do with him.
When he led his army to follow Zang Xiyan to put down the rebellion, he resolutely obeyed Zang Xiyan's military orders and did not cause any dissatisfaction from Zang Xiyan.
Feeling that Zhao Ziliang's stern eyes were always staring at them, Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu suddenly felt like years.
Sweat was dripping from their foreheads and vests.
They had been uneasy since they entered, and now they felt like they were in a furnace. middle.
After a long time, Zhao Ziliang spoke: "Do you know why I only asked Qu Huan to get up and not you?
Some people may think that Qu Huan is my old general.
Yes, Qu Huan did serve as a general under me. , this is an undeniable fact, but this is definitely not the reason why the king asked him to get up but not you.
The specific reasons should be clear to you."
Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu were sweating like rain, and they kowtowed repeatedly: "I will know your crime, and I will know my crime."
"Pah!"
Zhao Ziliang slammed the table and said angrily: "I know you have no idea what your crime is.
How old are you this year?
Are you still a three-year-old child?
Are you a fool?
You draw your sword at the slightest disagreement."
You have brought a large number of soldiers and horses to prepare for a big fight.
You have such a big temper and majesty.
In my opinion, you are used to being the boss outside and think that I am the best in the world, right?"
Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu were trained by Zhao Ziliang so much that their bodies trembled like chaff.
Wei Yuanfu was a little better.
He was born in the military and was a member of the Wei family.
He first served as a white horse captain.
Later, he was valued and promoted by his uncle Wei Zhi of the same clan, and successively served as a chief officer.
Although he relied on his family connections to reach high positions, he did have some talents.
Zhang Yi was purely a civil servant, so how could he withstand such a situation?
His father, Zhang Qiqiu, served as the military governor of Shuofang for two years and was Guo Ziyi's old boss.
He took great care of and supported Guo Ziyi when he was the military governor of Shuofang. , the late period of the Anshi Rebellion After Zhao Ziliang led his army back to the Western Qin Dynasty, the imperial court appointed Guo Ziyi as marshal in order to quell the rebellion.
On the one hand, Guo Ziyi was repaying his old boss Zhang Qiqiu, and on the other hand, he also admired Zhang Yi's talents, so he was appointed marshal in the palace.
Judge.
Guo Ziyi was jealous and excluded by the eunuchs, and was deprived of military power by the emperor several times.
Zhang Yi was affected by several ups and downs, and was either unlucky or promoted.
It can be said that he was Guo Ziyi's core supporter.
He and Zang Xiyan already had a grudge.
He believed that Zang Xiyan had taken away Guo Ziyi's position as marshal, so he was even more resentful towards Zang Xiyan, but he did not know that it was his own choice for Guo Ziyi to step down and return home.
"One is the military governor of Yongping and the other is the military governor of Huainan.
They are both feudal officials, but they have no spiritual belief and overall view of being loyal to the country.
They act like ordinary men in the market.
Zhang Yi, who taught you this?

Is it Zhang Qiqiu?"
Zhao Ziliang and Zhang Qiqiu can be said to be people of the same era who served as officials in the court.
Zhao Ziliang was a military officer, while Zhang Qiqiu was a civil servant.
In terms of qualifications, Zhao Ziliang should be a little older than Zhang Qiqiu, although Zhang Qiqiu's She is older than him, and seniority is not something that matters more than age in officialdom.
Zhang Qiqiu was born as a civil servant and served as a frontier official.
This destined him to lack prestige.
Moreover, as a literati, he had a common problem among literati.
In 750 AD, Zhang Qiqiu caused dissatisfaction among his army officers due to unfair distribution of military rations.
The angry soldiers beat his judge.
If Guo Ziyi, who was the Hengsai military envoy at the time, had not used his body to resist him, he would have died.
Being maimed.
Although the imperial court disposed of your soldiers afterwards, it was still dissatisfied with Zhang Qiqiu's improper handling.
The imperial officials believed that he lacked prestige as a civilian official in Jiezhen and had insufficient ability to command troops and horses, so he was transferred to Jiyin.
The prefect asked An Sishun to replace him.
Of course, Zhang Yi did not want to implicate this matter to his father, so he said: "Your Majesty, please calm down.
I was confused for a moment and has nothing to do with my father.
Moreover, my father is over seventy years old and has already become an official.
He has been an official for a long time without caring about worldly affairs." , and he held both military and political power in one body, and he developed the bad habit of being domineering and domineering, which led to the mistakes he made today.
Please punish me, your Majesty, and I will have no complaints."
Zhao Ziliang took a deep look at Zhang Yi, turned to look at Wei Yuanfu, and asked: "Wei Yuanfu, what about you?
Your Wei family is a big family with a long history of family education.
Haven't you been influenced by a little bit of your family's family tradition?"
Children from aristocratic families, at the starting line of life, your children from aristocratic families are born to be higher than children from humble families.
You don’t know how to cherish it, but you did such a thing, don’t you feel ashamed?”
Wei Yuanfu was sweating profusely: "I am guilty, I am frightened, please forgive me, your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a while and said to the two of them: "You two should not think about reinstatement during this period.
The King has recently opened an official training academy.
You two should go there first to learn how to be an official and a minister, and reflect on what you have done."
As a result, I will consider your arrangements after you graduate from the academy."
Zhao Ziliang's treatment of Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu was considered lenient.
Although these two men made extraordinary moves, they were still respectful to the court and had no intention of rebellion or separatism.
After receiving the edict, they rushed back without hesitation. , Zhao Ziliang decided to give them a chance.
They could not deny their entire lives just because they made a little mistake.
After all, they had made contributions in the process of containing and pacifying the three towns of Heshuo
