Chapter 639: The temple is in dispute
"Why is there nothing to levy?"
Li Heng asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Yu suddenly interjected:
"It must be because of the private sector!"
Huangfu Ke was stunned at first, and then high-fived and praised:
"As the king of Guangping said, it is indeed the reason for the private sector!"
At this point, Huangfu Kecai re-examined King Guangping, and it seems that this person is also somewhat intelligent, not as ignorant as those princes in the Ten Kings' Mansion.
Huangfu Ke didn't know that Li Yu personally participated in the formation of the unity army and the private army in the Chang'an Guard War, and knew all the joints well, so it was not surprising that he could figure out the reasons for Hedong at this time.
"The Shenwu Army has incorporated all the people from all over the country into the private sector, which solves the problem of food shortage, and secondly, it can effectively gather all the people under the control of the imperial court, so that they will not become fugitives and displaced people. This private system also has the unintended benefit of being extremely convenient and efficient for the whole people to organize. Therefore, wherever the Shenwu army withdrew, the people everywhere also withdrew with the people, and the rebels gained nothing more than an empty city, with no food and grass, and no one to ......."
Li Heng nodded again and again when he heard this, and felt that a rough judgment could be drawn from what Huang Fu Ke said, as if Shi Siming had fallen into a quagmire in Hedong, and he could not advance or retreat.
Li Yu raised another question:
"At the beginning, Du Yuanjun had carried out the clearing of the walls in Fengyi County, but all the big cities were burned down, why did Hedong only evacuate the people and materials, and leave the empty city alone?"
"King Guangping asked well!"
Huangfu praised it, and then said slowly.
"The situation in Hedong is different from that in Guanzhong, the land is vast and mountainous, and the big cities in each county are left in order to disperse Shi Siming's limited forces. Although those big cities are empty, they are still like bait, and he can't help but take the bait. ”
Li Heng's father and son listened to it with relish, and for a while they forgot the troubles caused by the eldest princess of Shou'an. They originally thought that the war in Hedong must be extremely tragic, and even precarious, so that the imperial court was ready to give up Hedong, but now from Huang Fu Ke's description, it seems that this is not the case at all, although he has repeatedly lost land, but he has restrained Shi Siming's hands and feet step by step, making him in a dilemma and exhausted.
After talking for a while, Huang Fu Ke's face suddenly showed a look of shame.
"Doctor Qin has a good strategy, but it's a pity that the old minister couldn't fully understand it at the beginning, but fought hard to resist, so he fell into Shi Siming's heavy encirclement, and almost the whole army died. ”
Huangfu Ke was a veteran who came all the way from the heyday of the Tang Army, and he was always the only one who chased after the enemy country behind the buttocks and beat him fiercely, so how could he ever be forced by the enemy army to hide in Tibet like a mouse? It was precisely because of the difference in strategic concepts that Huangfu Ke could not let go of the burden of the past, and there were many battles in which the defeated army was defeated.
As everyone knows, the Youyan border army of the Tang Dynasty was the most elite and powerful of the ten major jiedu envoys in the world, and these former Tang troops all became rebels, and naturally became the most powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not implement the strategy of arming the outside and the real in the Tianbao period, and was trapped in the long frontier Hu Lu rebellion, Li Longji almost deployed all the elite divisions of the Tang Dynasty in the frontier, especially the land of Liaodong Youyan where the Khitans were close to a Jiazi.
Therefore, the border army of the Tang Dynasty in Hebei fought with the Khitans all the year round, and the more they fought, the stronger they became, and there was no strong enemy in Shuofang, Longyou and other places.
These truths are very easy to understand, but Huangfu Ke and other cadres of the Tang Dynasty were in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty's psychological state, and it was difficult to clarify their actual situation for a while, so there was a mentality that did not match the strength.
On the contrary, Qin Jin had never been in the Tang army, nor had he personally experienced the strength of the Tang army, so he did not have these burdens, and he was sober and comfortable in dealing with them.
When Junchen and others talked about the fun, Li Heng said steeply:
"The old general Huangfu is going back to Hedong, and I plan to use the old general as the deputy envoy of Jiedu in Hebei Province, in order to attack the rebels' lair and attack Fan Yang!"
As soon as these words came out, several people present were shocked.
Li Yu subconsciously asked:
"I don't know who my father intends to use as the ambassador of Jiedu?"
I saw Li Heng say word by word:
"Feng Changqing!"
Even Huangfu Ke was stunned, he also knew the existence of Feng Changqing when he was in Hedong, but Feng Changqing's actual strength was not as strong as the outside world imagined, the total number was only thousands, and because of the lack of aid and supplies, it was difficult to fight a tough battle, so he only wandered between the grasslands and mountains north of Youyan for more than a year, making long-term raids.
For a long time, the An Lushan rebels were plagued by this, and had to leave the most powerful Shi Siming troops in Hebei to completely eliminate this great trouble among their henchmen. Later, due to the limitation of grain and grass, Feng Changqing had to avoid the enemy's edge, and it was not until the Shenwu army overcame the entire Hedong Province that Qin Jin secretly provided necessary assistance and supplies to his subordinates.
It's just that Feng Changqing was still a wanted criminal in the imperial court at that time, and Huangfu Ke would not tell Li Heng and his son about these details, but only introduced the achievements of Feng Changqing's department between Hebei Province and Hedong Province.
This was said for another half an hour, and Li Heng and Li Yu were sometimes nervous, sometimes excited, and finally sighed. Everyone is making the same regrets and assumptions in their hearts. If the Emperor Taishang had not self-destructed his arms and made up his mind to outline the situation in the Qing Dynasty, so that the upper and lower levels would be united, why would the imperial court end up in the tragic situation it is today?
However, Li Heng thought again, if it were not for the emperor's stupidity, which led to frequent chaos in government, how could he have won the emperor's throne so quickly? However, as soon as this thought came out, he was calm in his heart, if the Tang Dynasty could not suffer this catastrophe, even if he succeeded to the throne ten or eight years later, he would be willing.
It's a pity that the hypothesis is a hypothesis after all, the catastrophe of the Tang Dynasty has already happened, and the people of the Central Plains in Hedong, Hebei Province have been tragically ravaged by the rebels. Even the people of Guanzhong could not escape this catastrophe, and hundreds of thousands of people became food for the rebels. Such a human tragedy actually happened in the proud Datang.
This really made Li Heng look back, but in any case, the imperial court did not fall in the storm of rebels, Chang'an still stands above the ruins of Guanzhong, and the city is still as bustling as it was in the past. He believed that as long as the rebellion was put down and he worked hard for 20 years, he would definitely restore the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Tianbao period.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Heng couldn't help but be excited, and his face gradually flushed.
During this period, Cui Guangyuan was the only one who was silent the whole time, as if he only brought a pair of ears this time.
Li Heng summoned Cui Guangyuan to inquire about the security patrol in Chang'an, because in the past few days, he had heard several evil acts of gathering people to fight and robbing property in houses and even killing people. This kind of situation did not occur when Chang'an was under siege.
As for the reason, it is fundamentally because the Shenwu Army and the Left Guard Army have made a deal. At this point, the Shenwu Army was no longer responsible for the security of the city, but focused on the defense of Gyeonggi, but the Left Guard Army was obviously not competent, which caused the law and order in Chang'an to tend to get out of control.
If in the peaceful years, Cui Guangyuan, as Jing Zhaoyin, naturally has an unshirkable responsibility for the security of Chang'an, but now it is very different from the past, and the Left Guard Army is under the control of the eunuch Li Fuguo. He didn't want to carry this black cauldron, but out of many concerns, he kept silent about it.
Therefore, when Li Heng asked about the cause of these incidents, Cui Guangyuan was a little flickering. In the end, Li Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and said a word.
"Your Majesty, the security in the city is a matter within the left guards, Jing Zhaoyin has no responsibility at this time, and Cui Dayin is also powerless!"
Hearing this, Li Heng frowned, Li Fuguo didn't say that, Cui Guangyuan also had the promotion and control of the Left Guards, in other words, he could have the power to mobilize the Left Guards, which was also deliberately done by Li Heng at the beginning. Now that Cui Guangyuan is inactive, how can he blame Li Fuguo alone?
Now Cui Guangyuan is not responsible again, so Li Heng is a little unhappy, and his brows are twisted.
However, after all, he is still very accustomed to the city government, and this time he summoned Cui Guangyuan into the palace not to blame, but to urge him to take responsibility and not to eat a vegetarian meal.
Cui Guangyuan is indeed dumb this time, and he can't say what he suffers. Li Heng was a little too wishful thinking, thinking that he could control the Left Guards with Li Fuguo by entrusting him with an errand?
Li Fuguo is a person with a strong desire for power, and since he was appointed as the general of the Left Guard, he has regarded the newly established Left Guard Army as his own backyard confinement, and Cui Guangyuan can't intervene even if he wants to. What's more, he had already discussed this matter with Qin Jin, and Qin Jin also thought that it was not appropriate to have a quarrel with Li Fuguo because of the Left Guards now, so the so-called Left Guard envoys were completely in name.
But Li Heng did not know much about these complicated relationships between his subordinates, and when he asked Li Fuguo about the security in the city, Li Fuguo even cried out for wrongdoing, and put the responsibility on Cui Guangyuan lightly.
Out of trust in Li Fuguo, Li Heng had already believed seven or eight points at the beginning, and now seeing that Cui Guangyuan was silent, he confirmed his incompetent conjecture.
Although Huangfu Ke had just returned to the court, he immediately discovered the complex relationship within the court from the clues of various figures, and he did not want to be involved in this kind of matter, because his family was innocently involved in the political dispute.
The atmosphere between the four of the monarchs and ministers immediately became a little delicate, and no one noticed that a palace maid left lightly in the screen at the back of the palace, but perhaps out of excessive nervousness, after leaving the back door, he collided with a eunuch. The eunuch was furious and was about to scold, but when he saw the other party's eyebrows, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Be careful when walking, in case you disturb Your Majesty, even if I am a bodhisattva, I can't protect you......"
