Yang Feng ended his expedition in the third year of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

When he returned with his army and left Broken Leaf for nearly two years, the Anshi Rebellion had been put down.

Guo Ziyi led the army to win the second battle of Xiangzhou, under the temptation and persuasion of Tian Chengsi and Wu Lingxun and others, An Qingxu's general Li Huaixian launched a mutiny, An Qingxu Shuai fled with a small number of cronies, Li Huaixian led the main force of the rebel army to surrender to Guo Ziyi with Xiangwei and other states, and Yin Ziqi on the eastern front saw that the general trend had gone and also surrendered to Guo Ziyi with Weibo and other states. In order to end the war that lasted for many years as soon as possible, Li Heng simply appointed them as Xiangwei Jiedu Envoy and Wei Bojie Envoy, the former leading Xiangwei Xing Sizhou, and the latter leading Wei Bobei Sizhou, that is, the area between the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain to the west of modern Jinan.

An Qingxu fled and defected to Shi Siming, but was killed by Shi Siming in Fanyang, and Shi Siming surrendered to Li Guangbi with his head.

However, Shi Siming's general, An Lushan's godson An Zhongzhi, led his troops to surrender to Guo Ziyi in Dingzhou alone, in order to divide his forces, Li Heng in addition to Shi Siming continued to be the envoy of the Fanyang Festival, and set up the Chengde Festival envoy in the five states of Dingcangji and Zhao, with An Shouzhong as the envoy of the Chengde Festival, and gave the name Li Baochen.

But the vital Hengzhou, that is, the modern Zhengding assigned to the Hedong Jiedu envoy, so that the imperial court's army to maintain the strategic advantage of going out of Taihang at any time, the same Heyang also set up a separate Heyang Jiedu envoy, so that the imperial court to maintain the strategic advantage of going north from Henan at any time, plus Huazhou and Yunzhou, which belong to the imperial court, the three major ferries along the Yellow River are all controlled by the imperial court, and it will be much easier to deal with these guys if they rebel in the future. After all, everyone understands that these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals will not be really honest, they all control the rich plains, and the population under their rule is even less than a million, for example, Wei Bo Jiedu made the pre-war population of Wei Prefecture under his jurisdiction reach a terrifying 1.11 million, and the pre-war population of Beizhou, which is also under the jurisdiction of Wei Bo Jiedu, also reached 800,000......

Well, that's why Weber ran rampant in the Middle Tang.

At this time, Hebei is almost the most densely populated area in the Tang Dynasty, which even exceeds Guanzhong, in addition to Jingzhao, a giant with a population of nearly two million, there are few other states with a population of more than 300,000, but there are almost few states in Hebei that are lower than this number, and the population of Weizhou is close to the eastern capital of Henan, and even more than the sum of Yangzhou and Taiyuan and Tang's Xijing Fengxiang Mansion, and also exceeds Chengdu, which is famous for its wealth, and Runzhou, which was once the political and economic core of the south. This modern name that almost no one pays attention to is actually the third largest administrative region in the Tang Dynasty in terms of population, and if you talk about population density, I am afraid it has to be ranked first in the Tang Dynasty, because whether it is Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an or Henan Mansion in Luoyang, the area under its jurisdiction is much larger than that of Weizhou, and the huge population is the reason why the three towns of Heshuo have been rampant for two hundred years.

It is also the reason why Li Heng can only tolerate them for the time being to continue to be the emperor of the soil, he really wants to fight for a long time, unless he calls Yang Feng back again, he really has no confidence in winning the battle completely.

But when he called Yang Feng back, he was afraid that Yang Feng would do something.

So he had to make some compromises.

In this way, the Anshi Rebellion, which lasted for five whole years, was finally pacified, and the Tang Dynasty also began the era of feudal town separation, the four towns of Heshuo, Li Zhongchen of Qingqi, Hou Xiyi of Pinglu, and Gao Xianzhi of Annan, whether they admit it or not, there is actually Yang Feng in the Western Regions, and Zhao Guozhen in Qianzhong, who was not originally managed by the imperial court, which has become like a separation. They collect their own taxes, raise their own army, and appoint local officials by themselves, except for sending a supervising army to appoint a deputy envoy and occasionally collect contributions, there is basically nothing they can ask for, these guys can be at peace with the imperial court, and continue to be the feudal officials of the imperial court, Li Heng will burn high incense.

Fortunately, at this time, the threat of Tibet has also been lifted, after Luo was broken by Yang Feng, and the 50,000 Tibetan elite army was annihilated in India, the Tibetan nobles of Qinghai-Tibet and Kangsang were divided one after another, and competed to be vassals to the Tang Dynasty and became the feudal state of the Tang Dynasty.

This is also a blessing in disguise.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng, the king of Nanyang County, took hundreds of Tubo princes and nobles who were captured by him, including Tubo Zampu, into the court to offer prisoners, and also brought tribute envoys from various Indian countries, which can be regarded as giving Li Heng enough face, and of course, it also made the brilliance of the Tang God of War more dazzling. Because the king of the county is already the limit of the minister's title, and such a great achievement can not help but add an official to Yang Feng to the knighthood, so Li Heng simply added him to the boss of the third duke, Situ, and added him a school inspection order, but on the grounds that Tubo was destroyed, he quickly withdrew Bai Xiaode's Longyou Jiedu envoy, and at the same time took Fugu Huaien as the Hexi Jiedu envoy, and Hun Xuan as the Longyou Jiedu envoy, which was his most trusted, obviously he was afraid that one day Yang Feng would lead the army along the Longyou route in Hexi to attack Chang'an.

In addition, he also told Yang Feng that he would toss as much as he likes in the Western Regions, and the court will not care anymore, as long as he is still a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, everyone will have their own way!

Especially when King Yang who entered the court, when he sent a team of Tianzhu musicians and dancers to the Emperor Taishang, he found that the treatment of the Emperor was not high, and it could even be said that he was lonely and very sad, even Gao Lishi was relegated to Langzhou, that is, Changde, and angrily reprimanded Li Fuguo, and beat his cronies Cheng Yuanzhen in public, so that the relationship between him and Li Heng was suddenly tense, and also let the people of the world see King Yang's love for the Emperor, in short, after entering the court this time, the relationship between him and the court is no longer the same as before, In a sense, it can be regarded as cutting off the robe.

However, he is still fiercely loyal to Datang.

Because immediately afterwards, he held a banquet in the palace of Chang'an, and invited the envoys from all over the country to Chang'an, and after showing the terrifying power of killing the rhinoceros with one punch at the banquet, he clearly warned all the feudal towns that he would personally punish those who dared to rebel.

In short, in this way, he drew a red line for those feudal towns.

There can be no rebellion.

In other words, there can be no civil war.

As for the external encouragement, especially the feudal towns of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Ziqing, there are still many chaotic ethnic groups in the northeast, and even those who refuse to surrender to the kings such as the Bohai Kingdom and Silla, as well as the Khitan, Xi and Hui who often harass the Tang Dynasty in the north, these are the responsibilities of these Xinjiang ministers. You can't have to get the will of the imperial court, they are the jiedu envoys, and they have the right to decide whether to crusade against them or not, the strength of one jiedu envoy is not enough, and it is completely possible for several jiedu envoys to work together, just like the three towns in the Western Regions and the three towns in the southeast partnered to destroy Tubo and conquer Tianzhu, and the towns of Heshuo can also unite and go to the vast world in the north to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty!

There are also people like Ziqing, who cross the sea for hundreds of miles to Silla, why don't you go to Silla to declare the prestige of the Tang Dynasty?

Anyway, that's it.

We can't fight the civil war, who dares to fight the civil war Lao Tzu will shoot to death with a big stick, but you can go outside to expand, and turn more foreign lands into states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, this is okay, anyway, whoever grabs the land must belong to whom, if one family is not enough, a few families will join forces, and there is wealth outside, saying that our three towns in the Western Regions and the three towns in the southeast are piled up with gold, silver and jewelry in Tianzhu and Tubo, why can't you learn from us?

The towns of the feudal domains were suddenly opened.

In particular, Hou Xiyi's envoy in Chang'an, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, came to the door the next day to ask for a meeting, wanting to buy a batch of armor from the king of Nanyang, and also set up a cavalry with their own equipment, they really wanted to recapture the land that should have been the protectorate of Andong, because they had to deal with the rebels before, the Pinglu army had actually completely lost control of Liaodong, and was constantly attacked by the Xi people, and there was the erosion of the Bohai State in the north, Hou Xiyi and his subordinates of Goguryeo The remnants were very difficult, and they were eager to obtain a batch of cold forging armor from the Western Regions, armed an army strong enough to re-cross the Liao River, and re-restore the Andong Protectorate.

King Yang generously agreed.

And he also personally called the envoy of Li Zhongchen from the Ziqing Festival, so that the two families could give him a face and reconcile, although Hou Xiyi squeezed out Li Zhongchen angrily and went south, but after all, he was also an old brother who had fought side by side for many years in the past, and if there was a little enmity, let it pass, and face the future! Next, the two of you will act together, Hou Xiyi will cross the Liao River to the east, Li Zhongchen will cross the sea and land in Beisha City to go north, you two will take Gaizhou as the boundary, just divide Liaodong, anyway, the territory is in hand, you go to the imperial court, and the imperial court will not give it to you, although there are no good things in the Liaodong Peninsula, but there are still as many ginseng and deer antler velvet as there are.

So in this way, Hou Xiyi and Li Zhongchen reconciled, organized a group and went to Liaodong to regain the territory of the Andong Protectorate, and at the same time happily dug ginseng and cut deer antler velvet in Changbai Mountain.

In the same way, other feudal towns have also seen a way to make a fortune, after all, it is not a good choice for them to oppress the people in their jurisdiction, because their soldiers are all from the people of the jurisdiction, once the oppression is ruthless, it is easy to cause a mutiny or a civil rebellion, and the imperial court will happily take the opportunity to get rid of them. So if you want to get rich and expand your strength, the best choice is to go out and loot, plundering outside will make them and the people under their rule happy, but Yang Feng forbids them to plunder through civil war, then the only option is external, Pinglu and Ziqing can partner to attack Liaodong, so Fan Yang completely discussed with Hedong how about we go to rob the Khitan together?

If you don't have enough manpower, you can go to a few other feudal towns in Heshuo to pull some more, in short, our veterans of a hundred battles who have fought for many years have to make use of it.

Well, just like that, the proud soldiers of the Tang Dynasty found themselves in front of them, and suddenly opened the door to a new world.

Yang Feng didn't care about the rest.

He then returned to Broken Leaves, and began to integrate the various parts of the precinct, as well as the manufacture of cannons.
