Chapter 892: Dinghuai Nan (Final)
After Zhu Yanshou entered Huainan from Shouzhou with the right guard, An Renyi was also ordered to take over the 30,000 Huainan army in Chuzhou.
Since the 30,000 Huainan army in Chuzhou was commanded by Li Shenfu, and there were not many generals in Jinyiwei, and most of them were middle and low-level generals, even if Li Shenfu was not there, An Renyi alone could not control the 30,000 army.
Therefore, An Renyi also took the two forbidden armies of Zuo Xiaowei and Right Tiance Army to the south to prevent the army in Chuzhou from mutiny.
Zhu Yanshou and An Renyi left the Huainan Mission one after another, which also aroused the suspicion of Li Shenfu and Zhou Ben.
It stands to reason that as members of the Huainan Mission, they should be summoned by the Holy Lord, but how many days have passed, and the Holy Lord has no intention of summoning them.
Even those courtiers who had befriended before, no one dared to come to visit.
On this day, Li Shenfu finally heard the news from the Ministry of Rites, but after hearing the content of the news, he walked back to his residence in despair.
"Deputy Envoy Li, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Li Shenfu, who had lost his soul, Zhou Ben hurriedly asked.
Seeing Zhou Ben, Li Shenfu suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, not only taking the rest of the mission down, but also attracting the attention of the forbidden soldiers on duty outside.
"Li Shenfu, don't scare me, what's wrong?" Seeing Li Shenfu at this time, Zhou Ben was very anxious.
"It's over, it's all over!" Li Shenfu sneered, the whole person did not have the demeanor of being a general in Huainan before.
"What the hell is going on? You can make it clear! Zhou Ben grabbed Li Shenfu's clothes and asked loudly.
"Jieshuai is dead, Huainan is finished!" Li Shenfu laughed at himself, "What if I wait here? Huainan, it's over! ”
From Li Shenfu's intermittent 'crazy words', Zhou Ben learned what was going on.
Zhang Hao and Xu Wen rebelled, Yang Xingmi and Liu Xin were defeated and killed, Yang Xingmi's relatives were also killed by the rebels, and the imperial army had already taken control of Yangzhou City.
This news came suddenly, and Li Shenfu and Zhou Ben were a little caught off guard.
As Yang Xingmi's eldest son, Yang Wu and eldest daughter Yang Miaoyan, they fell from the top of the clouds to the bottom. The reason why their identities are valued is because their father --- Yang Xingmi, but now that Yang Xingmi is dead and the imperial court is gradually controlling Huainan, the status of these two people has plummeted in an instant.
Just when the Huainan mission was mourning, the holy decree came.
Li Shenfu was appointed as Sima of Luzhou, and Zhou Ben was appointed as Taifu Sicheng.
These two official positions, one is far away in Hedong Province, and the other is a petty official who raises horses, compared with the previous official positions of the two, it is not a little bit worse.
But the court doesn't need the two of them now, and if they didn't kill them, it was already considered a grace, so how could it be reused.
As for Yang Wu and Yang Miaoyan, the former was named the son of Hefei County, and the latter was named the Jun of Gaoyou County, both of which were knights of the fifth grade.
Although Yang Xingmi is dead, after all, he has ruled Huainan for many years, and it is not appropriate to do too much to his only two heirs.
Hearing these appointments, Li Shenfu and Zhou Ben looked depressed, obviously Yang Xingmi's death also made the imperial court no longer care about Huainan.
And Yang Wu and Yang Miaoyan's expressions were a little strange, because after hearing that they had knighthoods, the two of them actually forgot about the death of their father and family, but they were a little excited.
That's a knighthood!
The expressions of Yang Wu and the others undoubtedly disappointed Li Shenfu and the others.

"Your Majesty, regarding the affairs of the Japanese country, the minister has a book to play."
In Ziwei Palace, Li Jian stood respectfully in front of Li Ye.
Li Ye asked Zhang Wei to take the fold over, looked at it roughly, and then took the fold in his hand and said, "Why did you suddenly think of this method?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the Wa State has already sent an envoy to Luoyang from the Tang Dynasty, if my Tang army continues to be in the Wa State itself, it will definitely not be suitable, so the ministers will go up and support the Ezo people to establish a country, and even support the Silla pirates in the Wa State." Li Jian replied.
Li Ye nodded, "This method can be adopted." Don't just use the Ezo and Silla pirates, but also try to win over those defenders within the Japanese kingdom.
This emperor is eternal, and there are always people who don't want to see it. Man, it is greed, give him some hope, and his greed will be exposed.
Li Aiqing, do you understand what I mean? ”
Li Jian thought that the words of the saint meant something else, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands!" The minister must make Jinyiwei more attentive to the matter of the Japanese kingdom and live up to His Majesty's will. ”
"Where is the Tang mission of the Wa Kingdom?" Li Ye was a little curious.
"Back to Your Majesty, due to the incident in Huainan, the mission of the Wa Kingdom stopped in Shengzhou." Li Jian replied.
"Send someone to escort the Japanese delegation into the Eastern Capital, I'm really curious about what these Japanese people look like, I heard that they are very short!" Li Ye said with a smile.
Although the imperial court has ordered several forbidden armies to march into Huainan, Yang Xingmi has been in Huainan for many years, and there are still many loyal subordinates.
With Zhu Yanshou, An Renyi and Xu Wen, it is not enough to give orders to help the Huainan army, and war is inevitable.
Although Li Ye is plotting to dismember and annex the Japanese state, he can't show that he is not, and at least the ceremonial things must be done well, so that it is convenient to prevaricate some requests from the Japanese people.
"Yes, I obey!"
。。。。。。
Huainan, under the city of Luzhou.
With the news of the Yangzhou Mutiny and the entry of the imperial army into Shouzhou spread, Li Yu, the assassin of Gwangju, opened the city and returned to the imperial court. And Shouzhou was originally led by Zhu Yanshou, so after Zhu Yanshou entered Shouzhou with the imperial army, the 15,000 Huainan soldiers and horses in Shouzhou surrendered, and then under the command of Zhu Yanshou, they went south with the imperial army to attack Luzhou.
Don't look at Luzhou so close to Shouzhou, but when the imperial army went south, Liu Wei, the assassin of Luzhou, still had no intention of surrendering.
Right Xiaowei and Zhu Yanshou naturally approached the city of Luzhou, intending to attack Luzhou.
Perhaps because of the old feelings, Zhu Yanshou did not want to attack Luzhou, but wanted to persuade Liu Wei to surrender.
In terms of ability, Liu Wei is not bad in Huainan, which is recognized by others.
"Liu Wei, now that the imperial army is coming to the city, do you still want to resist stubbornly? Even if you don't think about yourself, think about the people of the city and the soldiers under your command.
Yang Xingmi is dead, you don't need to be loyal to him anymore, it's better to surrender in Kaesong, the court will not treat you badly. Zhu Yanshou rode a horse and came to the gate of Luzhou City and shouted.
"Zhu Yanshou, you are really a traitor." Seeing Zhu Yanshou who came with the imperial army, Liu Wei said coldly.
"Zhu is loyal to the court and the saint, how can he be called a traitor? Besides, Yang Xingmi was not killed by Zhu, if you have a grudge, it is useless to find Zhu. Zhu Yanshou retorted.
"If you want me to surrender in Kaicheng, it's not impossible, kill Xu Wen to avenge the marshal, otherwise let's fight!"
After speaking, Liu Wei directly picked up a pair of bows and arrows, aimed at Zhu Yanshou's horse and shot over!
