In March of this year, after Zhang Lun and Xu Shiji discussed, he sent his henchmen to Nanyang to meet with Yang Daosheng, the king of Song.

It sounds simple, but it goes back and forth, but it is quite related.

If the Liang State was still peaceful and maintained a certain momentum of expansion, Yang Daosheng, the king of Song, would definitely not be so straightforward.

Zhang Lun and Xu Shiji sent people over at the right time, and with their keen sense of smell and decisive means, they gained a lot of territory and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

And during this period, the one who contributed the most was not Zhang Lun, but Xu Shiji.

led the army to suppress bandits and killed Shan Xiongxin before, which was regarded as making some contributions, but the result was not as good as he wanted, because he made an old mistake again, and he wanted to take himself out, not to mention the credit, and then end up with a good reputation or something.

When I was in Wagang, this was a common trick used by everyone, after all, everyone was a brother and sister, and they were not afraid of infighting, but they were afraid of a bad reputation.

Why in the eyes of later people, most of these gangsters who gather people to cause chaos still have a good reputation, in fact, in addition to the authors grasping the grassroots plots of ordinary people, another reason lies in this, people are "righteous".

But according to the situation at that time, it goes without saying what kind of reputation the Wagang bandits are in Henan, in the eyes of the imperial court, they are bandits, and in the eyes of the people, they are also murderers.

That is, everyone can't survive, otherwise, how can they make the Wagang bandits who kill people and oversell goods grow?

Now Xu Shiji wants to repeat his old tricks, but where can he get his wish, Li Po must not tolerate this kind of bad behavior of wanting to smash the watch and setting up the archway.

So Xu Shiji touched the ashes of his nose, and he didn't even have any credit left, well, to suppress a bandit, in the Jindi army that inherited the inheritance of the Great Sui and came from the Zheng Army, it really didn't have any credit.

However, Xu Shiji, who had been trained in the war in Henan and had a strong body and a thick face, quickly recovered from depression and rolled his eyes to make new contributions.

He has "lofty ideals", but he will not allow himself to always be at the disposal of Zhang Dabeard or Liu Dabeard, at least he wants to be on an equal footing with these Weifu generals.

Within a few days, Yang Daosheng, the king of Song, was targeted by him, as for how he persuaded the city government to be no shallower than him, Zhang Dabeard, and how he sent someone over to talk to Yang Daosheng about the pros and cons, in fact, there is no need to go into detail.

The two generals in front of the army almost did their own thing, and they did the thing, and what came to Jinyang was just a good news.

Li Po didn't blame the two of them for making their own decisions, because the military orders he gave to the two of them before had a cheap word, but he really didn't expect that Zhang Lun and the two would be able to pick up such a big cheap one.

But then again, there are no pros or cons to this year's war.

Yang Daosheng did not descend, Li Po could not know what was going on in Liang Guo here, in fact, a few days later, news came from Yang Daosheng, Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, raised Changsha to descend to Tang, I don't know what Dong Jingzhen thought, across thousands of mountains and rivers, into Li Tang's arms.

He had the same effect as the Yuan Treasure a few years ago, and the ending was similar, he couldn't get Li Tang's aid at all, and in early April, Wang Renshou surrounded him in Changsha City.

Within a few days, Dong Jingzhen was killed by Zhang Xiu's old department, and Wang Renshou led the army to Changsha.

This is not the end, Lin Shihong saw the opportunity, led the army to counterattack, Wang Renshou, who had not a stable foothold, fought unfavorably, retreated to Changsha City, and asked Xiao Mo for help.

Xiao milled Ning Changzhen, and Li Guangdu led the army to aid Wang Renshou, and defeated Lin Shihong, which slightly calmed the war in the south.

But then, Xiao Milling ordered Wang Renshou and others to clean Zhang Xiu and Dong Jingzhen's old department, such a faint trick has been committed countless times in the late Sui Dynasty, and Xiao Milling didn't learn any lessons at all.

An edict went to Changsha, so that Wang Renshou and Ning Changzhen, Li Guangdu and the three of them sat on wax, they were not Wang Shichong, Fan Zigai, after the fierce quarrel, Ning Changzhen and Li Guangdu led the army back to the jurisdiction regardless of it, and never thought about supporting them again.

Wang Renshou hesitated again and again, missed the best opportunity, Zhang Xiu, Dong Jingzhen's old troops heard the news, frightened and angry, so what else to say, after a chaotic battle in Changsha City, Wang Renshou was driven away, and there was no winner, the generals held bloody knives to guard against each other, and soon they were scattered.

Some went to vote for Du Fuwei, some went to Lin Shihong, and some went to the mountains to fall into the grass for the coward, and so on, Lin Shihong, who had just been cut off and full of bags, was surprised at first glance, and he did not spend a single soldier to regain Changsha.

This is really a tragicomedy that no one expected, it seems to be a little more ups and downs than when Wang Shichong, Li Mi and others made trouble in Henan.

Of course, in mid-March, Dong Jingzhen was still alive, but he had just raised the banner of Li Tang, and when the news reached Li Po's ears from Yang Daosheng, he didn't feel much except for adding a sense of urgency to him.

It's just that Yang Daosheng's surrender caught him a little off guard, and he had a bad relationship with Xiao Mo at this time, which must be unfavorable to the overall situation, but how unfavorable it is, but I can't say how unfavorable.

Liang's internal turmoil has reached this point, it has shown a poor trend, but it is not as threatening as Dou Jiande, and he is at war with Li Tang, if it drags on for time, it is not surprising who will take a bite, and the most important point is that he made a good alliance with Xiao Milling some time ago, which was to let Xiao Mill attack Shuzhong and drag Li Xiaogong's army.

Now Xiao Mo is very embarrassed, where can he take care of anything else? There is little point in forming alliances......

In fact, even if Xiao Mo rushed over in a daze, at most Zhang Lun, Xu Shiji and others would lead the army to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River.

"Yu Wenxin, Zhang Yunzhi are all invited to accompany the army, the king will look at ......"

Zhongshu Ling Chen Xiaoyi is talking to Li Po, these days of successive political and military discussions, not only made Chen Xiaoyi tired, Li Po is actually not much better.

The armies are gathering one after another, and no one can easily do it.

He had just received the "good news" from Zhang Lun and Xu Shiji, which made Li Po a little upset, and said casually: "Nonsense, don't allow it." ”

Although Chen Xiaoyi is physically and mentally exhausted, these old ministers who grew up in the period of Emperor Wen and took on important responsibilities during the Great Cause period are as tough as a steel wire.

He only smiled slightly, and said tepidly: "Today, the king is raising troops to level Li Yuan, and everyone wants to follow the wings and tails, competing for their lives, which shows the king's wisdom in responding to people...... Moreover, the merit of fixing the chaos is in the past, even if the minister is old and frail, he still has some intentions, let alone others? ”

"The minister thinks that what this generation invites, or can be comforted, but cannot be refused, does the king think so?"

Li Po groaned for a while, and then said with a smile: "What the book says is very true, I am a little impatient, these two people...... The ears and eyes are clear, and the army has not moved, and they have come to ......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled, obviously not very satisfied.

At this time, Chen Xiaoyi smiled and said nothing, one of the two people had the help of the Wang family, and the other was a native of Jinyang, and the news was naturally well-informed.

And these two, Yu Wenxin has always been eager for quick success, and Zhang Yunzhi is also at an ambitious age, so it would be strange if there was no movement.

Of course, even if these reasons are known, he will never talk about it easily in front of King Han.

Zhang Yunzhi is a rising star, but Yu Wenxin is the head of the foreign ministers, as a Zhongshu order, the king of Han can nag two sentences to such a person, but he can't easily put his beak to show his likes and dislikes, otherwise, how different is it from a courtier? Chen Xiaoyi knows this bit of proportion.

Li Po didn't have so many scruples, and showed a little dissatisfaction, so he continued: "Go back to Shuyu Wenxin and let him hold the territory tightly in preparation for the Turks, such a heavy task belongs to him, why should he compete with everyone?" ”

"Then tell the county officials, spring ploughing is imminent, persuade the merit of farming, and the merit of war, don't ask for another battle in front of the battle, do you think that this king is a reckless man, only remember to kill the general and capture the flag? Such...... Do you think it's okay to read it? ”

Chen Xiaoyi naturally had no objections, but just signaled to the Zhongshu Shilang Cen text, Cen text buried himself in the case, worked hard to write, and instantly changed the words of His Royal Highness the King of Han beyond recognition, and then submitted it to Li Po for reading.

Li Po really took a closer look, and he was hit again, compared with the most outstanding literati of this year, his writing skills were almost like fireflies to Haoyue, which was not worth mentioning.

Then I talked with Chen Xiaoyi for a long time, and almost all of them were the heads and ends of the household.

The army did not move, the grain and grass went first, and more than half of the letters sent to Zhongshu here were from the household department, after Li Po deliberately omitted the link of Shangshu Ling, the efficiency was good, at least the household department would not delay the grain and grass because of the disagreement between Shangshu Province and Zhongshu.

This is not a joke, when Duan Wenzhen led the expedition to Liaodong with the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Yang Guang gave him a lot of power, but he was still repeatedly restrained by Shangshu Province, which consumed a lot of his energy, otherwise, he might not be tired to death on the way.

Of course, at this time, Li Po will not ponder the advantages and disadvantages of the system of three provinces and six ministries, he is facing the affairs that are swarming from the military and government, and there is actually a clear difference from the previous campaigns.

After that, he said to Chen Xiaoyi tightly, let Zhongshu keep an eye on the Ministry of Industry, don't wait until the river to find out that there are a few boats missing, and you can't go to the other side......

Well, this is the story of crossing the Liaoshui back then, and Chen Xiaoyi was also a little crying and laughing by the "witticisms" that His Royal Highness King Han came one after another, so he sent Li Po away.

Out of the middle book, Li Po felt a little dry mouth, and then remembered that his mother's old man Chen, who had always been good at tea, didn't prepare some tea soup for him to drink.

casually asked the guards to bring a water bladder from the horse, and drank it happily, only to find that the officials and guards who came and went were staring at him with wide eyes, turned over and got on the horse with a little embarrassment, and casually ordered, "Go to the personal order, send some nourishment to Chen Zhongshu and He Shangshu, and tell them not to be tired." ”

"Well, by the way, Sun Simiao is still in the city? If so, send him to me......"
