In less than a month, the remnants of the Duan clan were eliminated and the Dali Kingdom was included in the territory of the Liang Dynasty.

Emperor Zhao Ce was in high spirits and overjoyed, and at the same time anxiously arranged for the two generals to stay in Sanchuan, and the rest of the men and horses immediately returned to Beijing to echo the empress's resistance to Jin.

Although I was in a hurry, but who to choose to be the general stationed in the border is also the top priority, His Majesty the Emperor and the eight thousand years old discussed overnight, and finally decided to keep the original division of Lin Chongyang unchanged, Lin Chongyang is still the general of Zhenchuan, leading 30,000 troops to garrison Chengdu Mansion, and Zhao Yong, the envoy of the Southwest Protectorate and the chief army of Sanchuan, and Zhao Kan, the fake prime minister's festival and Chengdu Jiedu, jointly control Jiannan Road.

At this time, the land of Dali was also renamed Kangding Road by Zhao Ce, there are still enemies in the west and south of Kangding Road, in order to deter Fanbang, it was decided to garrison 50,000 troops, and the person who commanded the troops turned out to be Fan Zhenyu, the general of Shu Han.

This arrangement is very puzzling.

Whether it is on seniority, on military merits, or on the faction of the gate valve, it is not the turn of Fan Zhenyu to be the general of Kangding Dao. This is a border general, with great authority, almost on a par with the Flying Tiger Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the Jiaohe City Lord, how could it be Fan Zhenyu's turn to be the general?

Later, Bai Chongguang analyzed: "Fan Zhenyu is not a member of the Tang Clan. ”

"Why?" Zhao Yong, director of Sanchuan, asked. At this time, Zhao Yong was extremely powerful, not only controlling Sanchuan, but also controlling Kangding Dao. In other words, Lin Chongyang's name as a general is just an empty shelf, and the 30,000 Chengdu soldiers are all Zhao Yong's prison army.

Bai Chongguang said: "I still know Fan Zhenyu, when he was in Shu Han, he was also one of the best generals, but unfortunately he was not in harmony with me, so I suppressed him and failed to become a figure like Guan Xiong." Later, he and Tang Yuan met in a narrow way, and fought alone with Tang Yuan to a draw, but Tang Hu broke through, and the two worked together to force Fan Zhenyu back, and finally Chen Bao and Nalan Xin cooperated to force him down. Of course, I only heard about this statement, and I didn't go to Tang Yuan for certification. But I'm sure that this statement won't deviate too much. In short, Fan Zhenyu is not an instigator, and he can basically tie with the later Flying Tiger general Tang Yuan, which shows this person's ability. Tang Yuan also found that he was not good, so he stayed under the account, and he got along well, but he was asked to go by Prime Minister Tang Zhen. Since then, he has stayed in Chang'an City with Tang Xiao. In Chang'an, he couldn't get Tang Xiao's trust, he was depressed, and his ability was not fully utilized. I think that His Majesty the Emperor has long been eyeing Fan Zhenyu, and this time he was stationed as a border general, Lin Chongyang originally belonged to the Tang family, and Fan Zhenyu belonged to the imperial family. ”

Zhao Yong smiled bitterly: "You are not the prime minister of Shu Han, but you understand the Liang Dynasty better than me, the prince of the Liang Dynasty, which is really admirable." ”

Bai Chongguang hurriedly said: "Prince Shun said that he laughed, how can the minister know the Liang Dynasty better than you." The espionage work of Shu Han has always been my main focus, so I just have a little understanding."

Zhao Yong waved his hand and said: "I think you are talented and resourceful, and it is really a waste for people like you to stay in the land of Sanchuan." I would suggest that His Majesty the Emperor stay with you and go to the capital to take up a post, are you willing? ”

"If Prince Shun is willing to say a few good words for his ministers in front of the emperor, the ministers can't ask for it!"

"Okay, that's on me."

——

Attacking Dali, Tang Su was very dissatisfied with Lin Chongyang's performance, and privately found Lin Chongyang and asked: "In terms of combat experience, there are few people in the Great Liang Dynasty who can surpass you, and when you enter Sichuan, you are invincible, and you actually capsized in the gutter, and you are afraid of fighting because of a defeat, which is simply a loss of face!" Could it be that if Zhang Pan and Li Liang are not by your side, you will not fight? ”

Lin Chongyang bowed his head and was silent.

"Isn't there still Ni Tianding by your side? Isn't there still Qiu Jin? Why don't you use the two of them? "Let's do it

Lin Chongyang still bowed his head and remained silent.

Tang Su didn't fight in one place: "When you entered Sichuan, it wasn't these four people who attacked all the way, the other divisions almost alternately advanced, you commanded with ease, you talked, hit Dali, why are you so stuck?" Are you suddenly out of your mind? ”

Lin Chongyang was still silent.

Tang Su also suddenly quieted down, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that you are worried that your credit is too great?" ”

"Yes!" Lin Chongyang immediately said: "The minister is the Great Liang Dynasty and the Tang Clan, and he is willing to dedicate everything, but the minister's merit is too great, once the merit is high, wouldn't he kill himself?" Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to fight Dali, so he gave me a chance to show weakness. Otherwise, at the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor wanted me to command 200,000 troops to stay in Chengdu Mansion, and I knew that I would not live long. ”

Tang Su smiled bitterly: "Fool's opinion." ”

Lin Chongyang said: "Could it be that the eight thousand years old are really dedicated to helping the emperor?" You don't have anything else in mind? ”

"Nope." Tang Su said: "The world says that I should inherit the mantle of my father and ancestors, continue to divide half of the Liang Dynasty, and the power of the gate valve will never fade is the right way." But I think that's the way to get rid of chaos at all. A person's life is only a few decades, and after his death, he can be commented on, if future generations can say that I Tang Su is a hero of the ages, it is better than being infamy. ”

Hearing this, Lin Chongyang was silent, and said in his heart: "You are the fool's opinion." But..., isn't it a blessing to have such a fool? Hehe..., it's also my blessing..., for the rest of my life, I'm afraid I don't have to fight anymore. I just hope that Tang Xiao will not be as stupid as Tang Su. As long as he stands in the Western Regions of Chang'an Longyou and does not let go, the Tang Clan's gate valve will still not fall, but don't think about attacking, Zhao Ce will not be able to shake it at that time. ”

"Empress Yu, Xiao Tianzhen, the general of the Liao State Auxiliary State, led 200,000 troops and has approached Xiangzhou. Before arriving in Xiangzhou, he had divided 100,000 troops to take Mozhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou, Dingzhou, Hengzhou, Zhaozhou, Shenzhou, Jizhou, Beizhou, Dezhou, Xingzhou, and Weizhou, and forced to surrender or replace the state officials. Perhaps, he will not be in a hurry to occupy. "Tang Chu'an, the secretary of the military department, entered the palace at night instead of the scouts.

Tang Qi did not live in the harem for the convenience of listening to the report, but lived in the apse between the Jinluan Palace and the harem, the apse is guarded by the Royal Forest Army, so the rules of the palace are also implemented, the queen's curtain is inviolable, and anyone who comes here must stop.

"What?" Tang Qi was shocked: "It's almost Xiangzhou?" ”

Tang Chu'an said: "Xiao Tianzhen sent troops very quickly, and tried his best to block the news, so he delayed the war report communication, this time to deliver the letter, or the centurion of the militia stationed in Xiangzhou ran back on a mule, when he saw me, the mule was already tired to death, and he was almost tired to death." ”

"Halfway through, there's no post station to deliver news for him?"

"Returning to the queen, the ministers deserve death. It was the minister's negligence, and all the people in the post station were forcibly transferred by Ma Bufang, the governor of the new army, and sent to the army. Along the way, the post station was empty. ”

"Damn it!" Tang Qi said indignantly: "Ma Bufang misled the country! Damn it! ”
