Chapter 472: Escape
On this day, Li Pozhao Pei Shiqing accompanied him to inspect the warehouse in Jiangxian County and estimated the grain and grass seized this time, and Li Po felt a little relieved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because if the gap in grain and grass is too big, this time he is really out of line, the days of wanton plundering in the grassland in the clouds are gone, and the people there in Dou Jiande, Hebei Province are now hungry and their eyes are blue.
and Wang Shichong in Luoyang, Liang Shidu in the west, or even Li Yuan in Chang'an, are all separated by the Yellow River, otherwise, you can rely on the advantage of cavalry to go to Luoyang to see what Luoyang Dacang is like, and can support Li Mi and Wang Shichong for so long.
It is quite gratifying that this year's Jiangxian and Linfen counties are barely a bumper year, and Li Po doesn't have to worry about them.
In Li Po's view, this year's war is almost over.
Calculating the time, Li Tang wants to attack again, and it will have to be next year.
After that, it is estimated that there will be some sporadic battles left, not only does Li Tang need time to react, in fact, Li Po also feels that he also needs a period of respite at home.
Back then, Li Yuan was in a hurry to go south, and today he ate the consequences, and the lessons from the past are not far away, and there are not so many people in Chang'an City looking forward to him.
So it's better to work steadily, first manage a bit of Jindi, and digest the results.
At this time, coupled with the letters from Chen Xiaoyi and others, Li Po's mind was settled.
…………………………
Just when Li Pozheng was carefully estimating his family's background and weighing left and right, Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang had already crossed the Yellow River in embarrassment, and they were greeted not by Dugu Huaien, who guarded Yongfengcang, but by Liu Rang, Dugu Huaien's general.
At this time, Dugu Huaien had already gone back to Chang'an, the capital division, with Pei Lian, who had fled first.
Li Shentong was defeated, and the news that Hedong was about to erosive was difficult to hide, and Liu Rang's department, who was guarding the Longmen Ferry, was shocked from top to bottom.
Hedong Pei's surrender, then Li Po's army must be a long drive straight in, when it falls, it is not far from the Longmen ferry, once the Longmen is lost, the Tongguan pass will be useless.
This was the original route of Li Yuan's southward journey, and the Tang army could not be clearer.
It is conceivable that the tension of the people of Kansai was uneasy at this time.
When Jiang Baoyi heard that Dugu Huaien went to Chang'an with Pei Lian, he was stunned and immediately furious, and the sense of humiliation and shame of being captured several times was really not much in his place.
People who are not afraid of death have enough confidence, and he himself feels that the two defeats are all burdened by incompetents, if he Jiang Baoyi can lead the whole army, he will definitely not incur such a defeat.
This kind of logic is very peculiar, but it is the inherent thinking of many so-called loyal ministers, they don't care about right or wrong, they only admit death, and under self-hypnosis, the more they encounter setbacks, the more they think that others are wrong.
He didn't pay attention to Li Dingfang's difficult brother at all, and scolded Dugu Huaien for not knowing the severity......
Well, Jiang Baoyi's legendary life is still in progress, and although Liu Rang is extremely disgusted with him, he didn't dare to cut off the head of this defeated general.
Pei Lin who passed a few days ago was the emperor's favorite minister, and his identity was not much worse.
Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang were quickly sent away, which was similar to sending the plague god.
In fact, Dugu Huaien, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was neither ignorant of priorities, nor greedy for life and fear of death before returning to Chang'an, the only thing he did when he went to Beijing was to ask for orders to lead troops into Hedong.
As for what he had in mind, it was all too clear.
He went to Dali City in the steppe in the clouds, and his heart had become bigger, and in his opinion, Li Po and Li Ding'an of the Jin Dynasty had already declared himself a vassal to the Turks.
As the son-in-law of the Dugu clan, his cousin is already a Turkic khan, and it should be easy to subdue Li Ding'an for his own use, and then lead the army south to Chang'an......
Such a beautiful prospect...... Well, Li Po never dreamed that there would be such a person, wishful thinking about stepping on his head to ascend to the supreme position in the world.
If he knew, he would definitely be happy, and he said, the forest is big, and there are really all kinds of birds, and the big dream of spring and autumn is doing well.
However, Dugu Huaien doesn't think that he is dreaming, he is working hard for his dream.
And Li Po's defeat of more than 200,000 Tang troops did give him a chance that looked very good.
In fact, even if Li Shentong was not defeated so quickly, Dugu Huaien was already discussing with his henchmen Yuan Junbao, Liu Rang and others, and wanted to cut off Li Shentong's food channel.
When Jiang Baoyi and Li Ding'an returned to Chang'an, they felt a significant shock.
For Li Tang, the defeat of Jindi is tantamount to adding insult to injury.
Xiao Miao's army is storming Jianmen, Xue Rengao Kou is slightly supporting the wind, Xiliang Li Liang and Erliang Division in the north are also secretly watching the hinterland of Guanxi, and Wang Shichong of Henan is even more eyeing it, and Li Tang at this time has completely fallen into the encirclement of the enemy.
Li Shentong's defeat almost destroyed Hedong, where Li Yuan started.
The dream of flattening the world is getting farther and farther away from Li Yuan, and more than a year ago, according to Chang'an's high spirits, the majestic ambition when he ascended the throne and became the emperor seems to be like a world away.
Before Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang entered Chang'an, they were stopped by someone, and they were directly escorted into Chang'an Palace, and met Emperor Li Yuan in the majestic Taiji Palace.
At this time, Li Yuan looked really old, his hair was much whiter and less black, his slender eyes were full of bloodshots, and his once tall and strong body was also rickety, and his body was getting thinner and thinner, and he looked a lot shorter.
The moment he saw Li Yuan, Jiang Baoyi cried bitterly, and Li Yuan's eyes were a little red.
Originally, Li Yuan's anger was accumulating in his uneasiness, and it was likely to be vented on Jiang Baoyi and Li Dingfang's heads, but this cry made Li Yuan habitually soften.
"Aiqing's bravery, I have heard of it, Qing can return safely, I am very pleased, come, sit down."
At this time, several civil and military ministers in the hall were all slightly stunned, and then they all lowered their eyelids again, and they were almost thinking in their hearts, okay, Pei Lin came back and cried a nose, you only cut him down to the people, and let him think about it behind closed doors.
These two people cried again, and you remembered their bravery, so who will bear the responsibility for the defeat?
With such a big defeat, if you don't kill a few, how can you make the generals in front fight to the death?
Forget about Pei Lian, what a good candidate this Jiang Baoyi is, his official position is high enough, and he has been continuously captured, plus this person is helpless, such a head is simply too suitable......
Of course, they all know that it doesn't make much difference whether they kill Jiang Baoyi or not now, Hedong erosion is a foregone conclusion, and other accidents are insignificant in comparison.
