Chapter 488: Comeback (3)


Chapter 487: Comeback 3 Li Shi was furious, and said with a cold smile: "Okay, since General Nan refuses to accept our kindness, then, let's do it ourselves."

After speaking, Li Shi brushed his sleeves and left.

Nan Jiyun bowed down with a complicated expression.

Although Li Shi was angry and broke up unhappily, as a subordinate, in the face of the emperor and grandson, Nan Jiyun could not lose any etiquette.

Otherwise, a hat from the royal family will be buttoned up, and Nan Jiyun can't afford to be guilty.

Looking at the back of Li Shi rushing away, Nan Yong said with some worry: "Father, we have no foundation in the court, and now we have offended the East Palace, I am afraid that in the future" Nan Jiyun sighed: "My son, it is precisely because we have no foundation that we cannot become anyone's vassals at will.

My father and son were recommended by the general, and they were blessed by the Holy Lord, so that we have today, and you must remember that we can only be loyal to Your Majesty, and must not be half-hearted, otherwise, it will really be the catastrophe of our southern family."

"Son understands," Nam Yong took a deep breath.

He suddenly remembered that Kong Sheng was still there, and since he had Kong Sheng as a backer, he was still afraid of the prince of the East Palace Nam Yong's worries gradually dissipated.

"The crown prince is too strong and abused his power, and His Majesty has always been on guard.

If I wait for the prince to take refuge today, His Majesty will naturally not be able to explain it.

If we lose even His Majesty's trust, then in Chang'an City, what place will there be?"

Nan Jiyun waved his hand helplessly: "The prince values nothing more than the military power in our hands, but in fact, the forbidden army can listen to the orders of my father and son, only two or three out of ten, and the other powers are in the hands of Li Biao, Li Hu, Wuxian Wuxie, and these people have become inseparable from the prince in the past, and it is difficult to get along with each other."

Therefore, what my son, you and my father and son need to do is to wait and see what happens, and not to act rashly."

Nam Yong nodded, knowing that his father was telling the truth.

Nan Jiyun is worried that there will be internal strife and division within the forbidden army, but in Nan Yong's view, the key to this situation not happening at all is that they all think that the dead Kong Sheng is alive and well, as long as Kong Sheng shows up, Wuxian, a group of fierce generals, will not act rashly.

Nan Jiyun sighed and returned to the house.

Nan Yong hesitated for a moment, and returned home one after another.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard Kong Sheng's faint voice coming from the corridor on one side: "Nan Yong, your father is really a famous general in the world, and he has good knowledge, and his grasp of the overall situation and judging the situation are not comparable to ordinary people." ” "General" Nan Yong bowed to Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng smiled and walked out of the corridor, "Whether I am here or not, you father and son should not go to the East Palace."

Your father's analysis is not wrong, you have no foundation in the court, and all you rely on is your majesty's trust, if you lose even your majesty's favor, you will never have the slightest chance. ” Nan Yong was a little embarrassed, and secretly said that he was lucky.

If his father made a mistake in judgment for a while, in order to protect himself, he threw himself into the East Palace, which would undoubtedly make Kong Sheng, who was hidden behind the scenes, feel a problem in his heart.

Nan Jiyun refused to be solicited by the East Palace this time, at least winning Kong Sheng's approval.

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

When Kong Sheng heard that Li Shi had entered the mansion, he guessed the intention of the East Palace.

What Kong Sheng needs to observe in secret is Nan Jiyun's choice, if Nan Jiyun chooses Li Yu of the East Palace, then he will not object, and he will not even say a word of opposition, but from then on, he and the Nan family father and son have really parted ways.

Lingwu.

Lingwu is the place where the current emperor Li Heng rejuvenated the dragon, and it was also the original place where he was stationed.

It was also the base camp of the entire Tang Dynasty to suppress the rebellion at that time, and it was from here that Li Heng summoned the soldiers and horses of the world's feudal towns, so as to counterattack little by little, start little by little, and recover Luoyang, Chang'an.

Li Heng lived in Lingwu for more than half a year, and only later transferred the entire military and political command center to Fengxiang Mansion.

The reason why he left Lingwu and went to Fengxiang was naturally a strategic overall consideration.

And when he settled in Lingwu, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was also the result of being forced to be helpless.

In the Tang Dynasty, Henan, Hedong, Shandong, Guanluo and most of Shannan fell into the hands of thieves, and the emperor could only go to the northwest.

Lingwu is an important border town in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, the military control range of the Lingwu Governor's Mansion radiates the entire northwest and Mobei, although the emperor is still in Chang'an, but still makes some preparations for the defense of Lingwu.

Because Lingwu is the last barrier against the attack of the Uighurs.

If this barrier is lost, the entire Guanzhong region will be driven straight into by the iron hooves of the Hui, and it will become a great disaster.

In addition, at that time, the Hui cavalry was invited to enter the customs to help in the battle, and the emperor and the imperial court had to take a little precaution against the Hui people.

Therefore, under the premise that most of the Tang Dynasty's troops were transferred to quell the rebellion, the Lingwu Governor's Mansion still retained more than 10,000 people, and the Dunhuang Governor's Mansion in the west constituted a relatively solid defensive line on the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty.

Lin Yong, the governor of the Lingwu Governor's Mansion, also led the Lingzhou Taishou, integrating military and political power.

However, today's military towns are not comparable to the power of the feudal towns before the Anshi Rebellion, the former only nominally has military and political power, but is still subject to the imperial court; However, the latter is equivalent to a local government, with a large monopoly and a high degree of local financial power.

Otherwise, how could An Lushan have the ability to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in captivity, and the money and food for raising soldiers and uprisings alone is an astronomical amount.

Lin Yong was originally a Confucian general under Guo Ziyi, and was found and recommended by the emperor, and in just two years, with his military merits and talents, he was soon entrusted with important tasks by the imperial court, and became a military town, with nominal power equivalent to the Jiedu envoy before the Anshi Rebellion.

Lin Yong knew that the Tang Dynasty was now in turmoil with internal and external troubles, and the Hui people in Mobei kept saying that they were friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and they had also sent troops to help in the war, but in fact, the Hui people have always coveted the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Central Plains.

Lin Yong knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he drilled his soldiers and horses day and night in Lingwu, secretly preparing for battle, and did not dare to slack off.

Early in the morning of this day, the first line of Helan Mountain covered the sky and the sun from south to north, the yellow sand was rolled, and the earth shook the mountains.

Lin Yong stood on the upper floor of Lingwu City, staring at the northwest direction, his expression gloomy and solemn.

Three days ago, Tanmalai reported that the Mobei Hui Mo Yan Si Khan suddenly raised an army claiming to be 100,000 to move south along Helan Mountain and approached in the direction of Lingwu.

Lin Yong was taken aback, and immediately prepared for battle, closed the gate of Lingwu City, and prepared to prevent the attack of the Hui people.

It's just that the Hui soldiers and horses set up camp more than 100 miles away from Lingwu, and sent the second son of the Khan to move to build and lead 500 cavalry to negotiate with Lingwu, saying that the Hui Khan personally sent troops to greet the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the relatives of the Hui Hui, and specially appointed the relocation of the land to build as an envoy to Chang'an to protect the princess of Ningguo and the relatives of the Hui Yunyun.

On the surface, this shows that the Hui Khan attaches great importance to this peace, and sending his second son to serve as a peace envoy gave the Tang princess enough respect and face.

However, Lin Yong knew that the Hui people's move was nothing more than an attempt to deter and coerce them with military force, lest the Tang Dynasty would regret it and break off the peace with the Hui people.

Lin Yong understood even more that where the Hui people wanted was the emperor's princess, what they wanted was a rich dowry for following the princess and relatives.

The barren people in the northern part of the desert are miserable, and the Hui people make a living by hunting, and the materials, grain and grass are very scarce.

The Hui people agreed to help in the Central Plains, and the conditions put forward were a large amount of heavy grain and grass as a reward.

Ye Hu originally agreed with Li Yu that all the An's territory captured by the Hui people, the captive population, grain, grass and property would be taken over by the Hui people.

Li Yu considered the predicament of the imperial court and the difficulty of quelling the rebellion, so he reluctantly agreed to this matter.

It can be said that the Hui people took a lot of advantage by entering the Central Plains to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion.

Not to mention, in Luoyang alone, there are hundreds of truckloads of grain and grass taken away by the Hui people.

The endless wealth of the Central Plains was transported to Mobei through Guan Luo Lingwu, Lin Yong saw it in his eyes, and felt pain in his heart, but he was helpless.

Mo Yansi's eldest son, Prince Ye Hu, is now in Chang'an, and Mo Yansi can't wait, so he sent his second son Yidi Jian to lead the crowd to Chang'an to urge and kiss, and his drunkard's intention is really not to drink.

Hearing that the Hui people came to welcome their relatives and did not invade the border, Lin Yong just breathed a sigh of relief and sent away the people who moved to build into the customs.

But since last night, the Hui soldiers and horses have begun to have some kind of large-scale changes, obviously the transfer of troops, which made Lin Yong's heart suddenly tense again.

As a general who has been dealing with foreign races in the border area all year round, Lin Yong knows that these barbarians have no credibility at all, and they may turn their faces and deny people at any time, as long as there are enough benefits.

Of course, relatively speaking, the credibility of the Hui people is still more credible than that of other barbarians.

Since the Tang Dynasty, judging from the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding minority regimes, the relationship between the Hui and the Tang government is quite good, and it has a certain long-term friendly and cooperative relationship.

The establishment of the relationship between the Hui and the Tang Dynasty began in the third year of Zhenguan, when the Hui "came to the court and offered things", and the two sides formally established diplomatic relations.

Immediately, the Hui united all the tribes and cooperated with the Tang army to destroy the Xue Yantuo Khanate and established the Hui Khanate.

Emperor Taizong personally went to Lingwu to meet with the Hui envoys, and officially set up prefectures in the Hui ministries.

The Tang Dynasty also opened a large post road in the south of the Hui and north of the Turks according to the request of the Hui people, named "Towering Supreme Road", and set up post stations along the way to supply envoys and officials.

Every year, the mink skins are paid back to the various ministries to fill the rent.

After Guli Peiluo returned to the country, he sent an envoy to pay tribute, and the Tang Dynasty named him the King of Fengyi, and later canonized him as Huairen Khan.

After that, there was a return to help Tang quell the chaos.

The Hui people entered the customs three times to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion and recover Chang'an, Luoyang, Hebei and other places.

Of course, in return, in addition to the big rewards, the Tang Dynasty also stipulated that the Tang silk was used to buy back the horses, and the long-term silk horse trade between the two sides began.

But this does not mean that the Hui are all friendly to Tang in China.

There are also many militant factions who try to take advantage of the fire to rob and raid the Tang Dynasty to replace it and carve up the wealth of the Central Plains, but they are all suppressed by Mo Yansi.

Realistically speaking, Mo Yansi was a pro-Tang Hui ruler.

But his son, Yidijian, was one of the leaders of the anti-Tang militant faction in the Hui country.

The Mo Yan Si faction moved to build the Tang Dynasty, which made Lin Yong a little faintly uneasy.

Does this mean that the political wind in Huifu is beginning to tilt, Lin Yong doesn't know, so he can only prepare for a rainy day.

The 100,000 army is on the front line, and if the soldiers of the Hui army come to Lingwu City, the situation is critical.

Lin Yong suddenly turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "The 100,000 Hui army is dispatched and stationed at the foot of Helan Mountain.

Come on, five hundred miles expedited, and report to Chang'an "oshow7." t1706231537:
