Chapter 1090: Recovering Youzhou (2)

Wen Haoran asked the soldiers outside to prepare some wine and food and send them over, and the two sat facing each other and talked while drinking and eating. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Liu, why did you propose to let the brothers Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao lead troops to help recover Youzhou and other areas of Lulong in the morning? The imperial court means that as long as they surrender, the generals of the feudal towns must be transferred, and this principle cannot be changed! ”

Liu Daoqian took a sip of wine, ate a mouthful of food, and then said: "Master Wen, as far as I know, the Mobei army is basically cavalry, and if you want to attack the city, you must pay a lot of casualties, and it will take a long time!" If we can recover all the areas of Youzhou and Lulong as soon as possible, the army can quickly move south to join up with Gao Xiuyan and then attack Li Baochen together, so I think about whether I can let Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao lead troops to assist the King of Mobei to capture other areas of Youzhou, not not to transfer Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao brothers, but just take a slow step, and wait until all the areas of Youzhou and Lulong are recovered, and then transfer the two of them! ”

Wen Haoran pondered and asked, "What if these brothers deliberately delay time during this period?"

Liu Daoqian said: "Of course, there must be a deadline, just take March as the deadline, how about it?" ”

Wen Haoran weighed it and agreed: "Okay, if the King of Mobei can agree and guarantee, the lower official will write to the king to state the situation here!" ”

The next day, the two sides continued to negotiate, and Wen Haoran said directly to the point: "Yesterday, Lord Liu said that General Zhu was willing to lead the Fan Yang army to assist the King of Mobei to recover Youzhou and other places in Lulong, and exterminate Li Jin. ”

Liu Daoqian had already discussed with Zhu Tao last night, and Zhu Tao immediately said: "Yes, this time, my brother has given carte blanche to the last general and Lord Liu, and we are willing to lead the army to assist the King of Mobei to recover Youzhou and other places in Lulong!" ”

Wen Haoran nodded and said: "Okay, if the King of Mobei agrees and guarantees, this official can go to the regent to explain the situation, and after recovering Youzhou and Lulong, try to level out the two General Zhu and Lord Liu, even if they are demoted and appointed, they will only be demoted by one level at most." On the one hand, the imperial court did not want the war between Youzhou and Lulong to continue, on the other hand, the imperial court also considered that with the assistance of General Zhu, the king of Mobei could recover Youzhou and Lulong as soon as possible, but this must have a time limit, and all parts of Youzhou and Lulong must be recovered within three months. If all the places under the jurisdiction of Youzhou and Lu Long can be recovered within two months, this credit will be helpful to the three new positions, and the imperial court will definitely consider it at its discretion, and it is not appropriate for this official to say more here! ”

Youzhou and Lulong other states and counties are not worried, the only thing that still has some strength is the Li Ying Department who fled to Yingzhou, to recover all the territories of Youzhou and Lulong, it is simple to say, as long as Li Ying is exterminated, the other states and counties have no strength, and they dare not confront the imperial court, it is difficult to say, Li Ying was also a capable general under Li Huaixian, proficient in military strategy, and his martial arts are extraordinary, and it is not easy to defeat him.

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian exchanged words in a low voice, and then said to Wen Haoran: "Lord Wen, since you have agreed, you will do your best, but this matter still needs to be fulfilled by the prince!" ”

Zhang Shouyu pondered for a moment and agreed: "Okay, this king agrees and guarantees, but Zhu Zhu and Er must obey this king's orders, if there is a violation, this king's military law will not show mercy!" ”

"That's nature!"

Wen Haoran quickly wrote a piece of music and sent it to Chang'an for 800 miles.

It is another year of golden autumn and October, Zhao Ziliang has been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for a full year, and a lot of achievements have been made in this year, reversing the embarrassing situation of the unfavorable court of the imperial court, clarifying the corrupt yamen of the imperial court, pulling out a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and smashing the conspiracy of Pei Mian, Cui Youfu and others.

Soon after Pei Mian, Cui Youfu, Yuan Zai and a large number of court officials who secretly plotted rebellion were sent to the execution ground, Yang Juan and Chang Gon were finally released from the prison.

The families of the two were already waiting outside, and when they saw them come out, they all cried and pounced, and the two families immediately hugged their heads and cried, glad that they could be reunited.

"Ahem, Yang Juan, Chang Gon!" A voice came from behind the crowd.

Hundreds of people from the Yang family and the Chang family turned their heads together when they heard the voice, only to see an official standing not far away with a few entourage.

Yang Juan and Chang Gon walked out of 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 walked in front of the official, and Yang Juan arched his hand: "I don't know who the adult is?" ”

The official arched his hand and said: "Meng Chujun, the official walking in front of the regent palace, the king has an order, and orders Yang Juan and Chang Gon to see the king immediately!" ”

Walking in front of the hall is a unique official position in the Regent Palace, even if it is a seven-grade petty official in the Regent Palace, the prime minister has to salute when he sees him, not to mention that now Yang Juan and Chang Gon have no official positions.

The regent summoned him was equivalent to the previous emperor's summoning, and no one dared to disobey the order if they were afraid, Yang Juan and Chang Gon did not have any official positions and titles now, so they did not dare to disobey the order, Chang Gon arched his hand and said: "Please wait for a while, the grass people will come after explaining to their families!" ”

Meng Chujun nodded and acquiesced.

Yang Juan and Chang Gon quickly explained to their families, and then followed Meng Chujun away, what the two didn't expect was that they could still take a carriage when they went to the Regent's Mansion.

At this time, Li Mi was reporting the situation in Youzhou to Zhao Ziliang, and the affairs of Youzhou, Chengde and Weibo were the responsibility of Li Mi, except for intelligence and military affairs, everything else was under Li Mi's charge.

After listening to Li Yu's report, Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said: "Approve Wen Haoran's suggestion, and order Zhu Zhu, Zhu Tao and others to lead the army to assist Zhang Shouyu in recovering Youzhou and Lulong, which will be completed within three months, and then be transferred and resettled in accordance with the third category of the terms of the feudal domain, and the specific appointment will be discussed after the king has considered it." If he can help Zhang Shouyu recover all the areas of Youzhou and Lulong within two months, this king can consider giving them preferential treatment according to the second category of the terms of cutting the domain! ”

"Yes, King!"

Li Yu agreed and continued to report: "There is another matter, Zhang Yi, the envoy of the Yongping Army, sent someone to report that Xu Shize, the deputy envoy of Wei Bo Jinglu, secretly sent someone to contact him, saying that he and the general Li Changchun conspired to kill Tian Yue, and blocked the news, hoping to return to the imperial court, this is the first time since the king issued the order to cut the feudal domain that someone has taken the initiative to surrender and hand over the military and political power in such a short period of time!" Zhang Yi couldn't be the master of this matter, but Li Changchun and Xu Shi couldn't block the news forever, so they sent 800 li to Chang'an to report urgently, hoping that the imperial court would reply and make arrangements as soon as possible! ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Reply to Zhang Yi, let him tell Xu Shize and Li Changchun, place them according to the first category of cutting the domain, and accept the task of Zhang Yi is in charge, let him hand over to Xu Shize and Li Changchun, and send troops into Weizhou, Bozhou and other places as quickly as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Li Mi agreed, "In this way, Wei Bojun on the north bank of the Yellow River and Wei Bojun in the area of Beizhou will be homeless!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and immediately shouted: "Send an order to Zang Xiyan, so that he should prepare to cross the river to attack, and after Zhang Yi and Li Changchun and others complete the handover, they will immediately spread the news, causing chaos in Wei Bo's army, and then launch an attack at that time, annihilate the Wei Bo army on the north bank of the Yellow River in one fell swoop, and then quickly go north to Bozhou to join Zhang Yi's army, and then attack the Wei Bo army in the area of Beizhou!" ”

The copywriter next to him quickly recorded Zhao Ziliang's order and copied it on the official edict, handed it to Zhao Ziliang for inspection and stamped it and sent it out. This kind of military order does not need to be like a government decree by the emperor to convene the governor of Zhongshu Province for decision-making, and then reviewed by the Ministry of Menxia, and then implemented by the Shangshu Province, but directly ordered by the regent and sent to the hands of the commander of the army to implement, the military affairs are not child's play, the advantage of this is to save some intermediate links to prevent the leakage of military information, but also save time, Zhao Ziliang issued the military order will be sent to the commander of the army in the first time, there is no other person to hinder.

As soon as the edict was issued, Meng Chujun walked in and reported: "King, Yang Juan and Chang Gon bring it!" ”

"Bring them in!"

"Yes!"

Yang Juan and Chang Gon quickly walked in, and when they saw Zhao Ziliang, they immediately saluted, "The grass people pay tribute to the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang let them get up and said: "You are not in the same league as Pei Mian, Cui Youfu, Yuan Zai and others, this king is happy for you, and the court also retains two talents." You've been resting in your cell for a short time, haven't you? Isn't it time to do something? ”

"Huh?" The two of them were stunned for a while, and Chang Gon arched his hand 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 the civil official has been sent over to take over the political affairs. Now the imperial army has recovered most of Youzhou, and Youzhou City is also under the rule of the imperial court, Yang Juan, go to Youzhou to be Youzhou Taishou, but you have to remember that now it is not as good as before, Taishou is no longer in charge of military affairs, only acting in government affairs, and even the trial of cases has the dispatch of Dali Temple to the Yamen, but as the highest magistrate of the local administration, you have half of the jurisdiction over the Dali Temple, the Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment! When you go to the locality, you must remember that you are the official of the imperial court, and the imperial court sent you to govern for the people, not to let you covet pleasure and prestige, and if there is anything to be reported in time, you must not conceal or delay in reporting, understand? ”

Yang Juan and Chang Gon escaped death this time, and they didn't expect to be able to watch again after they came out, and they went directly to any local state Taishou, although the authority of Taishou is now half smaller, but he is still the highest official of local administration, and his status is even higher than that of a local defense envoy.

Yang Juan and Chang Gon cried with joy, and both bowed down: "The ministers obey the order and will live up to the king's expectations!" ”

The Zhu Zhu brothers really worked hard this time, and when they attacked Yingzhou Li Yuanbu, they personally led the team to attack the city, and they were not afraid of death, and the two brothers still insisted on fighting with several knife wounds on their bodies.

In mid-November, when the weather began to get colder, Zhang Shouyu and Zhu Zhu brothers finally broke through the city of Yingzhou, killed Li Ying and all his generals and staff, the news was transmitted back to Chang'an as quickly as possible, Zhao Ziliang was finally happy, the recovery of Lulong, finally made the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai State of contact to restore again, but also made the Tang Dynasty and the Silla State of contact to be restored, when the two countries learned that the Tang Dynasty had recovered Youzhou and Lulong region, immediately sent a delegation to Chang'an to meet.
