"But don't worry too much!" Liu Chengyou thought for a while and said comfortingly: "Li Jing is still Wende, he should not have a bad heart. And do things with your heart, there may be a way to solve it on a different day! ”

"Yes!"

Looking out at the sky, the night has quietly fallen, and there has been some movement in the Han camp outside the city, Liu Chengyou said: "Tonight in the army of Daqing, although the Huaide army has newly surrendered, but the spring of Po Shouchun also has merit, and it should be celebrated with the three armies." ”

Liu Chengyou pointed at Li Fang and ordered: "Write a note, give it to Xu Du's commander, and go to the camp to receive wine and meat as a reward!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"All the commanders, just in front of the emperor, how can you say that!" After retiring, that Zhang Yi caught up with Xu Xiang and was a little excited.

"How?" Turned his head to face Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath: "I am afraid that the small worries of the family will make the emperor feel that we are suspicious and worried about our homeland, so it will make Your Majesty suspicious of us, how can you rest assured that you can use us." As a newcomer, you should be shown to be completely loyal, but you will be ......"

Hearing his words, Xu Xiang suddenly said lightly: "It turns out that you are afraid that I will involve you!" ”

"That's not what the last will mean!" Zhang Yi also felt a little excited and calmed down a little.

"I'm just expressing the hidden worries in my heart, how wise is the Han Emperor, how can he not consider these things when he accepts us and other generals? Moreover, didn't Emperor Fang Cai also say that he could read his family and his king, and he did not criticize him, but expressed his understanding! Xu Xiang swept Zhang Yi: "This will not be as hot as some of you, after all, it is difficult to be cold-blooded and ruthless, what do you say, Zhang Duyu Hou?" ”

can clearly feel that Xu Xiang's attitude towards himself has changed dramatically, and there is a difference between before and after. A trace of thought appeared on his face, was it because he had entered the words of the Han Emperor and had been promoted several levels in a row, threatening him?

Zhang Yi thought about it, Xu Xiang snorted coldly and went quickly. In the back, looking at its back, Zhang Yi murmured in a cold tone: "The 'monarch' referred to by the Han Emperor in his mouth, which country is the king, have you considered it......

In the Jiedu Yatang, Li Fang also admonished Liu Chengyou in Xu Xiang's words, saying that he should be unsettled and should be kept on probation, not entrusted with military posts, and let him lead the old department.

Liu Chengyou said: "Wandering outside, there are few people who don't miss their families, especially for these husbands. Xu Xiang can be honest in front of me to express his concerns.

How can a person who has just come down have the luxury of being wholehearted in a short period of time? For me, it's not about looking at his heart, it's about looking at his actions. ”

In many cases, the subordinates used will be demoted, and they will work extra hard for the new master, after all, they want to integrate into the new military and political environment and be recognized. The list goes on.

Listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, Li Fang waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is broad-minded and treats people with sincerity, which is admirable. However, in ancient times, it was said that Xu Xiang and others were indeed worried, why didn't Your Majesty make another arrangement to prevent unforeseen troubles? ”

Hearing the admonition, Liu Chengyou bowed his head: "That's right!" The Tang generals can be used in a decentralized manner, and as for the Huaide army, among the officers and men of the self-battalion, they will pick up manpower, serve as officers, and strengthen control! ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

On the way to the Han camp and the army to celebrate, Liu Chengyou summoned Li Shaoyou to the car, and took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to carefully investigate some information in Shouchun City, and reported it to the emperor.

With some sighs, Li Shaoyou said: "Wu Desi installed three capable detectives in Shouchun City, and in the end, only one person survived, and when he found the minister, he was also dying, and his body was seriously injured.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou directly instructed: "They are all heroes of the Han Dynasty, news spying, the function of their generation, and they are weaker than the heroes of fighting." Be a good student and be rewarded, don't make the hero chill! ”

"Yes!" Li Shaoyou said: "The minister understands! ”

"How's it going to do what I've told you?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Li Shaoyou: "The minister looked for the Shenwei military academy to inquire, and he got a little, that Zhang Yi is a native of Chuzhou Quanjiao, and his father tasted the county order, and Li Jing was dismissed for crime after he ascended the throne. Reading and writing, at the age of 20, he abandoned his pen and joined the army, and served in the army for eight years. He participated in the battle of the puppet Tang Dynasty to destroy Wang Min, and was defeated and captured by the Tang general Cha Wenhui, and fled to the brigade alone, and then transferred to the Divine Guard, but in a few years, he was not promoted. It was not until Xu Xiang was under the command of Xu Xiang that he was gradually promoted to a battalion general, and the Zuo Shenwei Army was transferred to Shouchun, and then came north.

In addition, according to the ministers, Xu Xiang surrendered to the Han Dynasty and made up his mind for it, it was this Zhang Yi. "Book six

After listening to Li Shaoyou's report, Liu Chengyou said softly: "In this way, this Zhang Yi can be regarded as a frustrated person, no wonder he is so active." ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Shaoyou couldn't help but wonder: "How can this person be able to enter the eyes of His Majesty?" ”

"The pseudo-Tang generals who have served me, although this person is not named, but if he only talks about ability, talent and ambition, there is no one who can do it!" Liu Chengyou said: "I conquered Huainan and captured its land and cities, which is only the first step, and it is more important to buy people's hearts and make them return to governance, so as to provide taxes, soldiers, and labor for the Han Dynasty." And to do this, we must have enough talents, especially Huai people, to be used by me.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of talents in the land of Jianghuai, but there is a lack of people who use people, and it is difficult for talented people to realize their aspirations and stretch their fists. ”

Nodding, Li Shaoyou echoed Liu Chengyou's words and said: "Your Majesty is the best, but it is with the Jianghuai Magi to bless the shade, like a rain!" This Zhang Yi can be looked at differently by His Majesty, which is also his blessing! ”

......

When the army of the Northern Han Dynasty won successive battles in Huainan, invincible and invincible, the Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were already sitting on pins and needles, and the reports of defeat were frequent, like sitting on pins and needles.

Bad retribution in the north came one after another, and the Han army was like a wolf and a tiger, wreaking havoc in the land of the Tang Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians could not stop it. Even if the time is only regressed to half a year ago, no one will believe that the Tang Empire, which is dominated by Jianghuai and rich in things and people, and is the leading one in the south, is so fragile that it is almost powerless to fight back in the face of the attack of the Northern Han Dynasty. The collapse of high-rise buildings and the change of the situation always catch people off guard.

Jinling Imperial Palace, between the Getai Dance Pavilion, is already full of spring and vitality, but the sound of the entire palace is much less than usual. coincided with the northern disaster, the country was in turmoil, and Li Jing, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, was not so faint that he still sang the flowers in the backyard.

In the inner hall, Li Jing read the military newspaper from Jiangbei, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Defeated again......"

Li Jing is in his prime, but it is only a winter time, and people see that he is a little older. Staring at the map of the Tang Dynasty hanging in the hall, the Jiangbei Prefectures, although they are still marked with the Tang Flag, but in Li Jing's eyes, they are like a delicate girl, still wantonly galloping and humiliating by a seven-foot man from the north......

Shouzhou, Chuzhou, Chuzhou, the three-way army, the defeat of the three places, did not exceed two days between them, and they spread south one after another.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has returned to Beijing and is waiting for the edict at the palace gate!" The chamberlain came, and was careful.

Hearing the report, Li Jing was a little energetic, although he was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Announce his entry into the palace!" ”

After a while, Li Hongji, the king of Yan, entered the palace, dressed in armor, and between his faces, although he was inevitably tired, his spirit was natural, and when he saw Li Jing, he quickly stepped forward and saluted. Li Hongji was originally in Runzhou, and when he came back this time, he returned to the court without authorization, but looking at Li Jing's appearance, he obviously didn't care about this.

"My son is back, hurry up and excuse me!" Li Jing stepped forward and personally helped Li Hongji up. After looking at the eldest son a few times, Li Jingqiang raised his spirit and said: "Wu Yue is attacking in the rear, Runzhou is in the front line, it is a dangerous place, I wanted to summon you to return to the court, but the courtiers discouraged it, and said that the town commander should not leave lightly, for fear of hurting morale, so I gave up." However, it is good to come back, and in Jinling, I and your mother can also be at ease.

God bless me, your younger brother died young, and when the country was in trouble, Erlang suddenly fell ill again, you are the eldest son, but you can't have any more accidents......"

At this time, Li Jing, who expressed it in his words, licked the calf.

Li Hongji has a strong temperament, and when he heard the words, he felt something, and when he saw his father's declining state, he personally helped Li Jing to sit down, and said: "My son is in Changzhou, and he has led the army to defeat Wu Yuejun, beheaded three thousand, and the money thief has retreated!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Li Jing nodded subconsciously, and then reacted: "What, you have retired Wu Yue?" ”

"Exactly!" Li Hongji bowed his head.

"Good! Good! Li Jing's face was slightly happy, and he looked at the tiredness on his eldest son's face: "You are personally telling me the good news, you have worked hard!" ”

Although Wu Yue sent troops on the orders of Liu Chengyou, the lack of troops was one thing, and Wu Yue also had some internal controversy, reflecting the effect on the battlefield, which was broken by Li Hongji's army and achieved his name.

The joy didn't last long, Li Jing sighed: "Wu Yue is in trouble after all, and the Northern Han is the big enemy." Now in our dynasty, in Huainan, we have lost many battles, and I am afraid that we will not be able to defend the ......."

Hearing this, Li Hongji looked at Li Jing very firmly: "My son is returning to the dynasty this time, just to ask my father for his life, reorganize his troops and horses, and go north to resist the Han army!" ”
