Chapter 654: Blinding the Holy Hearing
The winter of the eleventh year of the Great Cause was very cold.
Heavy snow fell in the Central Plains.
There was a blanket of silver everywhere, but the snow still couldn't stop Li Mi's offensive.
In Xingyang, Xuchang, Huaiyang, Qiaojun, Liangjun, Dongjun, Jiyin, and Dongping, the rebels were like bamboos, sweeping all the way to the east, and the counties were either surrendering or being outnumbered.
From Xingyang in the west, Lu County in the east, Pengcheng in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, only a few of the eight counties are still struggling to support.
Li Mi was in unlimited scenery for a while.
In the eastern capital of Luoyang City, the emperor was still in the dark, not knowing that Li Mi had already occupied Xingluocang and fought to the Luoshui River, Li Mi's western front did not move, and he personally defended the western front, but sent a large army to sweep the eastern front.
And the traitor in Luoyang City also buried his head, as if he didn't know and thought of a way to deceive the emperor. Xiao Yu told a few words of truth, but as a result, Pei Yun and others slandered the emperor and demoted him out of Beijing and to Longyou.
Now, the emperor didn't know the situation outside.
In the city of Luoyang, this year's Chaoji made extra less.
Many local officials were either busy quelling the unrest or blocked by the rebels.
So Pei Yun simply suggested that because the siege of Yanmen had occurred this year, there was no need to let the officials of various counties enter the capital this year, so that they could calm down the place with peace of mind.
The emperor didn't think much of it, so he agreed.
"How's Shibi doing now?"
The emperor suddenly asked this day.
Pei Yun lowered his head, "Now that it's winter, the Turks must be in Maodong." ”
"Is Shibi still in Monan?" The Emperor asked again.
At this time, the emperor did not know the good news of Daibei, and did not know that Luo Cheng led the soldiers of the four towns to annihilate the Turkic army in Mayi, and beheaded the first Khan.
Yu Shiji saw that the emperor had been asking, so he said vaguely, "If it is cold today, it snows heavily in the north, the roads are not smooth, and there are many news blockages outside the plug." ”
"Why haven't I seen Luo Cheng's recital recently, when did he go back to Liaodong last time, and now Liaodong is still stable?"
Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, Su Wei, and Pei Shiju, the four prime ministers, you and I are constantly changing the topic.
Soon, the emperor also diverted his attention, for him, the Turks were now a thorn in his heart, and it hurt when he mentioned it, so he could not mention it.
He also thought that after he left last time, Luo Cheng and General Siye drove the Turkic army out of the Great Wall, and there was no follow-up.
"Now that the north is cold, I previously appointed Luo Siye as the envoy of the Dingxiang Dao Festival, but it is bitter cold outside, and there is no basis, if the Turks attack, I am only afraid of trouble." The emperor thought for a while, "It's better to transfer Luo Siye back to the court and revoke Dingxiangdao." ”
In the last war, Luo Siye's performance was loyal and brave, although he later resisted the order and went north, the emperor did not remember it too much. Now it looks like the New Year is going to be celebrated again, and it will soon be the twelfth year of the great cause.
In the new year, the emperor also hopes to be able to reinvigorate.
The first thing he planned to do in the New Year was to rebuild the Xiaoguo Army.
Now there are only 50,000 people left in the Xiaoguo army, barely making up two armies.
The emperor planned to transfer Luo Siye back and return to the Xiaoguo Army, and then recruit manpower to rebuild the Sixth Army based on the rest of the current Xiaoguo Army.
When Yu Shiji heard that the emperor was actually going to transfer Luo Siye back, he was a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the ambitions of the Turkic wolves must be strengthened. It is very necessary to set up Dingxiang Road, as for worrying that there is no danger outside the Great Wall, the minister thought that Mayi County could be directly assigned to Xiangdao, and the part west of Fanyang Fu's military capital was also assigned to Xiangdao. ”
"Alternatively, you can also set up a Yunzhong County in the north of Mayi, and set up a Zhuo County in the east of Guanzhi, the capital of the Fanyang Army, to be subordinate to Dingxiang Dao."
Yang Guang shook his head.
"You don't have to bother like that, do you?"
"Your Majesty, it is very necessary. Before the Turks went south, it was because we had been negligent in guarding before, so we had to strengthen our defenses, and General Luo Siye was His Majesty's son-in-law, loyal and brave, and should stay in Saibei to guard. ”
Yang Guang listened to it and felt that there was some truth in it.
What if the Turks went south?
"Okay, then the north of Mayi will be separated from Yunnei County, and the east of Fanyang will be separated from Zhuo County, and it will be subordinate to Dingxiang Road, and Luo Siye will be guarded by the Xuanwu Army. Let Luo Siye move the Jiedu Yamen to Yunnei City in the outer Great Wall, so as not to be attacked by the Turks. Also, let the military department and the twelve guards select soldiers and horses, and fill Luo Siye's number of 24,000 soldiers. ”
Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well snakes for ten years, and now the emperor is also afraid of the Turks.
The four of them quietly exchanged eyes.
finally stopped Luo Siye from returning to Beijing, otherwise as soon as he came back, wouldn't he know everything? They didn't want the emperor to know about the victory at all.
Luo Cheng and Wang Rengong and other border marshals were all intercepted by them.
After the victory of Ma Yi, Luo Cheng discussed the plan for the Turks, and after Pei Shiju discussed it with the four ministers, he felt that it was also a good plan, so he agreed to all of them, but he didn't tell the emperor.
They didn't reply to Luo Cheng, let alone give any reward to the generals of the four towns who won the battle, as if there was no such thing.
"Your Majesty, there is still something to report to Your Majesty, before Luo Cheng led the army to King Qin, he insisted on attacking the Monan Khan Court, and the deputy envoy Duan Da insisted that he should go to Yanmen to rescue the driver first, the two argued, and then Luo Cheng asked Duan Da to behead him."
"We didn't dare to tell Your Majesty before, but now we ask Your Majesty to deal with it."
The Emperor was stunned.
"Luo Cheng beheaded Duan Da? Or is it the last time King Qin, it's been two months, and you came to tell me? ”
The emperor's face was very unsightly.
"Your Majesty, Luo Cheng is too arrogant and domineering, relying on some military merits, even the deputy envoy of His Majesty's Qin faction dares to kill."
Yang Guang was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After half a day, he waved his hand weakly, "Forget it, the situation was also urgent at that time, Luo Cheng wanted to attack the Khan Court, Duan Da wanted Yunyanmen, neither of them was wrong, but the first army could not have two orders, and it was urgent, and it was understandable that Luo Cheng killed Duan Da." Forget it, Pei Qing, just draft an edict for me, reprimand Luo Cheng, and send someone to appease the Duan family and reward the money. ”
A few people didn't expect that this killing move, which they had been pinching for a long time, would actually be resolved like this?
They didn't say anything when they were in Yanmen and Taiyuan, and they have endured it until now, just because they felt that at that time, they said that the emperor might have read that the situation was tense, and it would be okay.
But two months later, the emperor still didn't pursue Luo Cheng.
"Then please send another deputy envoy over."
Yang Guang thought for a while, "Luo Cheng is a person who really has a bad temper, but he is loyal and commendable, and he is trustworthy." In this way, let Liucheng Taishou Qu Tutong be promoted to the deputy envoy of Andong Daojiedu. ”
"As for the successor of Liucheng Taishou." The emperor thought about it for a while, and remembered that the last time he was in the siege of Yanmen, he was a person who was very eye-catching.
"Li Jing, the commander of Mayi County, was promoted to the Taishou of Liucheng County in Andong Province!"
