Chapter 499: Attack on the Central Plains

"Report! Three hundred miles from the front line to report the urgent battle!"

Suddenly, there was a shout outside the hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone hurriedly looked outside the main hall.

A soldier in armor, holding a letter, hurried into the main hall, his face was red and panting: "Your Majesty, yes, it's an urgent report from General Li Xun......

Immediately, a little yellow door stepped forward to take the letter, trotted to the steps of the dragon chair, and asked the prince to check it, and then transferred it to Li Kuang.

"Good! good!"

Li Kuang hurriedly read the emergency report, clapped his hands and shouted three good words in a row, and turned his head to look at Chen Jingle: "National teacher, you can also take a look." ”

Xiao Huangmen trotted again to deliver the paper to Chen Jingle.

Chen Jingle took the letter, glanced at it, and smiled: "It's really a good job!"

"What's it, mysterious?" Ao Ye muttered to herself, leaning over to glance at it, then pouting.

All the ministers in the hall were curious, what did this letter say?

Li Guo stood up and announced loudly: "Li Maozhen thought that he would be able to make a comeback by relying on the Tubo people, but he didn't expect to be vulnerable in front of the Shence army. 30,000 Tibetan soldiers and 20,000 Fengxiang troops, under the attack of the Shence army, were defeated and retreated, and finally their subordinate generals turned against each other, resulting in their defeat and death.

Very good! The Shence Army is brave and unparalleled, Li Xun, Zhou Wu, and Liu He are meritorious, and when the class teacher returns to the dynasty, I will be rewarded!"

After speaking, he also looked at Chen Jingle with a look of approval.

When the officials heard the news, they were in an uproar, and then they were all overjoyed and discussed.

Once upon a time, a powerful feudal town like Li Maozhen was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's hearts. And Li Maozhen has always been ambitious, and has repeatedly admonished the imperial court, asking for sealing, and there is no threat under his words.

Because of the tens of thousands of Fengxiang troops under his command, even if it was the former Yang Fuguo, he couldn't please him in front of him, so the court could only make compromises.

However, now as powerful as Li Maozhen, in front of the Shence Army, he was defeated like a wither, and Li Maozhen was even more executed, and it was really God blessed the Tang Dynasty!

However, everyone knew in their hearts that the most important contribution to the Shence Army's achievement was the young man in the hall at this time who was dressed in Taoist robes and was canonized as a national teacher.

Some people who had been quite slanderous about Chen Jingle before also closed up decisively at this moment.

To recover so much lost land for the imperial court, it is not impossible to be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister, and even a king. However, every time His Majesty mentioned this matter before, he would be dismissed by the national teacher on the grounds that "people outside the square should be greedy for the glory and wealth of the red dust".

Could it be that the national teacher was really sent by God to save the Tang Dynasty?

"God bless the Tang Dynasty!, Your Majesty Shengming!" The civil and military officials sang in unison, and they were the best at patting their ass.

Chen Jingle took the initiative to break the atmosphere and said: "It's a good thing that Li Maozhen bows his head, so that we can free up our hands to deal with Zhu Wen!"

Li Guo was stunned for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Why don't you choose to deal with Zhao Kuangning in Shannandong or Li Keyong in Hedong first?"

The saint has never liked Li Keyong, this Chen Jingle knows it, and it can even be said that he is deeply wary of Li Keyong.

However, as it stands, it is not yet suitable to use his hands on Li Ke. Whether Li Keyong himself is in the court or in the countryside, he has a mixed reputation and mixed merits.

He not only supported Li Tang, but also had the ambitious side of the warlords of the feudal towns in this era, sitting on a strong military force and being able to influence the situation in the world.

The court was quite jealous of him.

However, Chen Jingle didn't care much about Li Keyong.

Although Li Keyong's strength is undoubtedly among the best among the many feudal towns and is feared by other forces, Chen Jingle is still confident that he will defeat the other party head-on.

What interested him was Li Keyong's righteous son, Li Cunxiao, who was known as the first fierce general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that there is no vanity under the fame, I don't know if that Li Cunxiao is really so strong? If it is true, then recruiting this person to his command is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings in the imperial court and the Shence army.

Chen Jingle had a little Jiujiu in his heart and explained: "Zhao Kuangning's pattern is limited, although he is ambitious, but his courage is too small, and he does not dare to oppose the court openly, so he is not afraid; On the contrary, Zhu Wen's wolf ambition is clear in the world, and he wants to establish himself as the emperor, and he should be killed to warn the world!"

Li Guo took a deep breath and said lightly: "Okay! Since this is the case, then according to what the national teacher said, when the Shence army is finished resting, he will take Donggi directly! Do you Aiqing have any opinions?"

No one spoke.

"Then so be it, retreat!"

Ao Ye felt bored, waved his sleeves, rolled up Chen Jingle and left the hall.

……

Go back to three days ago.

"General!"

Li Xun took a deep breath, suddenly drew his sword and raised it high, and roared angrily: "Everyone, the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty, you and I are glorious and rich, all in this battle, follow me to charge and kill the enemy!"

"Kill!"

The rumbling army rushed to Li Maozhen's camp headquarters in an instant, and the Fengxiang army, which was hastily fought, was cut through the camp before it could organize effective resistance, and suffered heavy casualties.

Li Maozhen led the remnants of the men and horses to flee in a hurry, and then was caught up by Liu He's army, and finally some generals in Fengxiang's army surrendered against the water, Li Maozhen saw that the general trend had gone, and killed himself in front of the battle.

Then the Shence Army began to accept Li Maozhen's remaining territory.

Wherever the army goes, it will first open a warehouse to release grain, pacify the people, and maintain order in the city.

In troubled times, you should use heavy codes!

At the same time, Chen Jingle's policy of suppressing Buddhism and promoting Taoism was thoroughly implemented, and the local temples and unqualified monks were all dismissed and their property confiscated.

Zhong Haoran and other Taoist disciples used the slogan of practicing medicine to help the world, on the one hand, to resolve the suffering of the people, and on the other hand, to spread Taoist beliefs, and gained a lot.

During this time, two more Taoist friends broke through to the Jindan realm, which made Zhong Haoran very happy.

"It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. ”

Every time he thinks of what the national teacher said, Zhong Haoran will suddenly feel a sense of admiration.

The genius of the national teacher is indulging in talent, and we ordinary people are not as good as us!

If Chen Jingle heard this, he would probably be secretly proud, after all, he is an excellent successor of socialism who can score 90 points in the political test!

Suppressing Buddha, promoting the Tao, with the help of the Shence Army and Zhong Haoran and others, the main quest is proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

The victorious Shence army returned to the court, and Li Guoqin led hundreds of officials to meet him at Xuanwu Gate.

However, the Shence army only rested for a while, and then set off in two ways.

One way to the north, first take Li Sixiao of Dunfang, and then take Wang Ji in the river, and the other way from Chang'an directly to the south, first break the gold merchant Feng Xing's attack, and then take Shaanxi Wang Qi.

In just one month, the ruling territory of the Li Tang court was doubled again.

In the end, the two lines of troops and horses launched an attack on Luoyang, Donggi from two directions at the same time, striving to defeat the Donggi forces of Zhu Wen's army in one fell swoop.

At this time, Zhang Quanyi, a subordinate of Zhu Wen, was stationed in Donggi, not a military general, but a civilian official, who was a good hand in political affairs, and during his reign, Donggi's agricultural production was restored and protected to the greatest extent.

It's a pity that the ability to lead troops to fight is average.

When Zhang Quanyi heard that the army of the imperial court was coming, he was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled overnight.

There is no way, at this time, the Xuanwu army in Donggi City is full of battles, but there are only 5,000 people, even if the people are forcibly recruited to defend the city, how can they stop the indomitable Shence army?

He heard that Han Jian and Li Maozhen were defeated in the hands of the Shence army, and even the Tubo people could not be defeated. If you don't run, will you stay with the burial?

It's a pity that he didn't run far before he was caught by Li Xun's people.

Looking at Zhang Quanyi, who was escorted to him, Li Xun sneered: "Zhang Quanyi, weren't you quite bold before? Dare to go against the imperial court and cling to Zhu Wei, why are you so greedy and afraid of death at this time?"

Zhang Quanyi hung his head and didn't say a word.

Zhang Xun snorted coldly and waved his hand: "Take it down, show me it, maybe there will be a place where you can use him in the future." ”

"Yes, take it away!"

Zhang Quanyi was dragged down.

"It was really surprising that I took Donggi without much effort. Li Xun touched his chin, quite surprised and happy.

Next, it is Heyang, Yicheng and Zhongwu.

Take these three places, and you can go straight to Zhu Wen's lair!
