Chapter 714: Resolutely opposed
When Bi Sichen returned to the inner courtyard with people again, Li Guiren and the others who were sitting in the inner courtyard eating wine had all died of anger, Bi Sichen breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Qinghe said beside him: "Fortunately, I didn't put the poison into the wine and food, but smeared it on the chopsticks, otherwise I would have been a goof!" ”
Bi Sichen asked, "What now?" ”
"Find someone to hide the corpse, send someone to lock off the inside and outside of the mansion, only enter and not leave! Now it's too late to change the plan temporarily, and we don't have enough preparations, the general might as well immediately return to the barracks to reorganize the men and horses and forcibly attack Li Guiren's barracks, Tian Qianzhen definitely didn't think that the general would suddenly send troops to attack him at this time, the general can kill him by surprise, and after defeating Tian Qianzhen, immediately surrender the rout, and chase and kill Tian Qianzhen! ”
Bi Sichen gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, the matter has come to this, the arrow is ready to fly, I have to send it, I will give up more than 100 catties!" Mr. Liu, I'll leave it to you here, don't let anyone go until I get done! ”
After speaking, Bi Sichen immediately turned around and walked to the front yard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Liu Qinghe came to the front yard after handling the affairs of the inner courtyard, the guests in the front yard were still in the dark, ignorant of what was happening in the inner courtyard, they were still drinking and eating meat, the excitement was still there, and the sound of gongs, drums and suona did not stop for a moment.
Bi Sichen's military camp was not with Li Guiren's military camp, one was outside the east city gate, and the other was outside the west city gate.
The soldiers rushed to the school field to gather, and the generals went to Bi Sichen's big tent, Bi Sichen saw that everyone had arrived, and said to everyone: "We were originally the Tang Dynasty generals and soldiers, and they were defeated and captured in Luoyang, and had to surrender An Lushan in order to survive. I plan to raise troops and return to the Tang Dynasty, and now immediately send troops to attack Li Guiren's camp, Li Guiren and others have been poisoned by me in the mansion, now there is only one Tian Qianzhen in the camp, he has just arrived, lack of control over the army, plus our surprise attack, Tian Qianzhen's army will inevitably collapse, we occupy Fangcheng to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the commander of the Tang Army, Zhao Dashuai, has sent someone to contact the general, promised not only not to investigate our guilt, if this time can defeat Tian Qianzhen, the complete Fangcheng into the hands of the Tang Army, We're all in one piece! What do you guys say? ”
The generals' minds were not here in Yan Jun, but when Bi Sichen said this at this time, why didn't everyone want to? So they expressed their willingness to follow Bi Sichen to kill Tian Qianzhen.
Bi Sichen immediately ordered his troops and horses to bypass Fangcheng and attack Tian Qianzhen's camp from the north, at this time, the Yan soldiers in Tian Qianzhen's camp were basking in the open space of the camp, where to prevent Bi Sichen from leading the army to attack, not to mention that the attack came from the north!
The soldiers of the Yan army who were suddenly attacked were immediately in chaos, Tian Qianzhen had not been here for a long time, and he could not control and organize the soldiers and horses to resist the attack of Bi Sichen's army, although Bi Sichen only had seven or eight thousand people in his hands, and the combat effectiveness was not very good, but they were menacing and unexpected, and the Yan army had long been so frightened that they had no heart to resist, and they fled everywhere.
Bi Sichen led the troops to rush into the Yan army camp and kill everywhere, set fire everywhere, and took advantage of the rebel chaos to directly lead the troops to rush outside the main tent of the Chinese army.
After seizing Tian Qianzhen's camp, Bi Sichen did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, he sent people to chase and kill Tian Qianzhen, and on the other hand, he tried his best to collect and surrender the Yan army.
On February 20, the news that Bi Sichen had killed Li Guiren, defeated the Yan army, captured Fangcheng and announced that he would abandon Yan and return to Tang reached Tongguan. At the same time, it was suggested that Bi Sichen and his subordinate generals should go to Chang'an to discuss meritorious deeds, and then transfer them out of their original positions, and Wang Sili would lead the troops to Fangcheng to take over and reorganize the troops and horses to prevent the Yan army from counterattacking.
After the news reached Chang'an, Xuanzong immediately convened the military and political ministers to discuss Bi Sichen's matter, which was neither a purely military matter nor a political matter, so Xuanzong convened the Manchu civil and military forces to discuss Zhao Ziliang's proposal.
"Your Majesty, the old minister disagrees with Zhao Dashuai's suggestion, the old minister thinks that since Bi Sichen and others have surrendered to the rebels, and now they have surrendered to our dynasty, they can't guarantee that they will surrender to the rebels again in the future, and they will fight against our army. Don't give an order to let him and his subordinates go to Chang'an, and then kill him! ”
"No!" Prime Minister Zhang Hao stood up against it, he said: "Your Majesty, Bi Sichen's rebellion against the rebels was planned by Zhao Dashuai, and this counter-plot was very successful!" If the imperial court not only did not give Bi Sichen and others a generous reward, but also killed them, what would make Zhao Dashuai have face? ”
Someone immediately said: "Zhao Dashuai does not represent the imperial court, and he did not ask the imperial court for permission when he did this, could it be that the imperial court has to compromise with the most heinous rebels in order to take care of his face?" ”
Wang Jin, a servant of the Criminal Department, stood up and said: "What you said is easy, if the court does not maintain the authority of Zhao Dashuai and disregard his face, how can he serve the public and face the world?" If he quits, do you think you people can still sit peacefully in Chang'an City and listen to the little song with your concubine in your arms? ”
These words were a bit harsh, with a strong sense of irony, and many ministers were extremely uncomfortable listening to them, and some ministers asked rhetorically on the spot: "Wang Shilang, listen to what you mean, my Tang Dynasty is still not good without him Zhao Ziliang?" Is there no one like him? Could it be that apart from him Zhao Ziliang, my Datang has no generals who lead the army to fight? ”
At this time, Prime Minister Fang Xuan stood up and sneered: "I don't know if there is anyone who can compare to Zhao Dashuai, I only know that except for Zhao Dashuai, there is no one who can have the prestige of Zhao Dashuai to make other garrison generals obey orders, and replace it with someone else to preside over the overall situation of counterinsurgency, I am afraid that other generals and officials from other places will not be convinced!" Why don't you go and see if anyone listens to you? ”
"You ······"
Wang Jin, the squire of the Criminal Department, said: "If I can't even tolerate the generals and colonels who surrender to Cheng, the rebel generals will definitely fight to the death with our army in the future, so that the great cause of counterinsurgency in our dynasty is bound to drag on for a long time, and the loss is serious, the longer the time drags on, the more national strength and vitality will be consumed, and it will take more time to recover. ”
The ministers debated in the court for nearly two hours, and most of the ministers agreed with Zhao Ziliang's suggestion, but a limited number of ministers such as Wei Jiansu disagreed, and their attitude was very resolute.
In the end, Xuanzong still agreed to Zhao Ziliang's suggestion, and ordered Bi Sichen and his main subordinates to temporarily hand over the soldiers and horses to Wang Sili to lead them, and they came to Chang'an to be rewarded.
After the court meeting ended, Xuanzong left Wei Jiansu alone and asked, "Why did Wei Qing's family strongly oppose Zhao Ziliang's suggestion?" As long as a discerning person sees this matter, he will know that he can't treat Bi Sichen and the others badly, but the Qing family is strongly opposed, is it really because of the reason that he has a loss in his temperance? ”
Wei Jiansu said: "Your Majesty, since Zhao Ziliang said his views on politics at the court meeting last year, Wechen was deeply touched, and asked for leave to meditate behind closed doors at home, I have to say that Zhao Ziliang's attitude towards the government is admired by Wechen, and he intends to serve His Majesty and the court with this attitude." In the future, Wechen will not deliberately find trouble with him, but Wechen still has to resolutely oppose his approach on some things. Today's matter seems simple, but in fact it is not simple, as far as Weichen knows, Bi Sichen and Zhao Ziliang had a good relationship when they were in Anxi, I heard that they also worshiped brothers, if Bi Sichen and others were rewarded, Zhao Ziliang's power in the court increased by a point, Your Majesty and look, now Guo Ziyi in the northwest, Li Guangbi in Hedong, Wang Sili and others are all students of Zhao Ziliang, and Lai Yao was also brought out by him from Beiting, but more than eighty percent of the people in the entire counterinsurgency army are under the control of him Zhao Ziliang, and the military power in his hands is too great, If it is not controlled and controlled, it will inevitably cause immeasurable consequences over time! ”
Xuanzong frowned after hearing this, and then smiled: "Wei Qing is too worried, now that the rebels are strong, you courtiers and colleagues should unite and deal with foreign enemies together, how can you be suspicious of each other?" I was influenced by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong before, so that I mistakenly killed many loyal and good generals, Wei Qing can't talk nonsense in the future, okay, you go back! ”
"Wechen retires!" Beads of sweat appeared on Wei Jiansu's forehead slightly, and he slowly withdrew from the main hall.
After Wei Jiansu left, Xuanzong closed his eyes and lay on the dragon chair, but his mind was thinking about Wei Jiansu's words just now, for Zhao Ziliang, Wei Jiansu's words can be described as slander, but for Xuanzong, these words are not a kind of admonition, reminder and advice, the position and position are different, and the entry point to look at the problem is also different.
At present, Zhao Ziliang's military power is indeed quite large, and the troops he can directly command are only more than 100,000, but the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized directly and indirectly have already rushed through more than eighty percent of the entire counterinsurgency army, which is much greater than the military power of Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and Ge Shuhan.
However, if Zhao Ziliang was not given this kind of military power, the great cause of counterinsurgency could not progress so quickly, and the Tang army might have won so many victories, which is the advantage of unified command of all counterinsurgency armies.
Xuanzong knew very well that what Wei Jiansu said was not unreasonable, but now the situation of the Tang Dynasty is really not good without Zhao Ziliang, so he can only try his best to maintain this situation, give Zhao Ziliang the greatest support, and let him quell the rebellion as soon as possible.
