Chapter 170 - Briefly Fight for Peace

In the spring of the third year of Tianhe, Li Maozhen took Wang Xingyu and Yang Shouliang to invade Shaanzhou City, but they could not attack it for a long time, digging embankments and flooding the city.

In February of the third year of Tianhe, the commander of the Shenbing Brigade led the army to break through Chang'an, in the middle of February, Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, Li Maozhen entered Chang'an, fought a bloody night, suffered heavy casualties, because the minister left behind in the city ignited the arsenal in the city, the fire burned the city, a large number of soldiers of the three armies were buried in the fire, only part of the remnants escaped, and the entire Luoyang City was destroyed.

In April of the third year of Tianhe, Li Maozhen annexed the forces of Wang Xingyu and Yang Shouliang, and became the strongest feudal town at the moment in one fell swoop.

……

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, let's rest early."

In Chang'an City, Zhao Fan was reviewing the folds in the palace, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard on the side said softly.

The new commander of the Praetorian Guard is named Xu Wen, who is Xu Yong's younger brother, and since Xu Yong's death, Zhao Fan ordered someone to call him to take over and take Xu Yong's place, which can be regarded as Zhao Fan's compensation to Xu Yong.

Xu Wen has a calm temperament, and his martial arts are also outstanding, and he can fight with Scar for hundreds of rounds without falling behind, as the commander of Zhao Fan's Praetorian Guard, he is quite competent.

"It's okay, General Xu, how is the resettlement of the industries in the city?" Zhao Fan stood up, stretched, and said softly.

"Back to Your Majesty, with Lord Zhang Ji here, everything has been dealt with." Xu Wen nodded and said respectfully.

Zhao Fan was stunned when he heard this, but he underestimated Zhang Ji, it seems that he made Zhang Ji a small tuntian official, but he was overkill, I didn't expect that this guy was not only good at marching, but also a good hand in internal affairs.

You must know that in order to transfer the main body of Tangbao Industry to Chang'an City, Zhao Fan is very troubled, after all, with Tangbao Industry stationed in Chang'an City, there are also the original three major families in Luoyang, as well as some large and small chambers of commerce, those are all Zhao Fan's people.

But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Fan feels that it is particularly difficult to arrange, after all, this kind of thing involves a lot of things, and it will also offend the interests of the local family in Chang'an, and it is extremely tricky to deal with.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji actually divided five by two, and solved the matter, and he didn't know how this guy did it, so Zhao Fan wanted to ask him for advice when he took the time.

"Did Master Zhang ever say that there is something that I need to come forward to solve?" Zhao Fan paused and said thoughtfully.

"This Lord Zhang didn't mention it, he asked the last general to tell His Majesty not to worry about this matter anymore, he and your lordships will deal with this matter well." Xu Wen was stunned and said softly.

"That's it, but it saves me a lot of things." Zhao Fan smiled and muttered to himself.

In fact, what Zhao Fan doesn't know is that Zhang Ji has any clever plan to solve so many problems, in fact, his method is very simple, that is, salute first and then soldier, it really doesn't work, then coercion and intimidation, pit and abduction, do everything, as long as the goal can be achieved, there is nothing he Zhang Ji dare not do, Zhao Fan is a humble gentleman, he Zhang Ji is not a gentleman.

In order to solve the problem of the family in Chang'an City, Zhang Ji used all kinds of bad tricks, such as sending troops to surround the mansion of the first family in the city, and then sending people to firmly block the gate of their house.

Or "invite" all the family members of other people, and then arrange for hundreds of elite soldiers to draw their weapons and dangle in front of their eyes, and finally negotiate with them amicably, whether they are willing to give up some territory for Tangbao Industry's industry.

Not only that, Zhang Ji also made full use of the power given to him by Zhao Fan to win over a group of the big families in the city, suppress a group, and eliminate a group, and soon made the forces in the city clear, and also made them recognize again what is called the truth under the steel knife.

In this way, the entire Chang'an City was organized by Zhang Ji, and a group of forces headed by the royal family was formed in an instant, as for those opposing voices, some of them were staying in the prison of Chang'an, and some of them were sunk in a small river outside Chang'an City.

Zhang Ji is not Zhao Fan, Zhao Fan has no scruples for him, so he can let go of his hands and feet, even if he stabs any big basket, he just needs to push it on him, and it will definitely not affect Zhao Fan.

Even if he makes things serious, for Zhao Fan, at most, he doesn't know anyone, and he has no way to do it, and then Zhao Fan comes forward to reprimand him a few times, and this matter will pass.

As for reputation, does he care?

……

After the Battle of Luoyang, although the major feudal towns were not fundamentally injured, they were basically injured, and there was no time to recover, so it was basically difficult to launch a large-scale campaign again.

In addition to the original four brigades and one army of nearly 250,000 soldiers and horses, Zhao Fan once again ordered to recruit 200,000 new troops to cope with the increasing territory in his hands and the increasingly severe defense work.

It was in these two months that Zhao Fan arranged for the completed integration of the Divine Battalion to go out and take the two prefectures of Suining, thus establishing a new barrier for Chang'an and avoiding the direct border between Chang'an and Li Maozhen's forces, thus causing unnecessary risks.

On the other hand, Zheng Congyan, who was far away in Taiyuan, was also driven back to Chang'an by Li Keyong, which also represented a comprehensive break between Zhao Fan and Li Keyong.

But it's understandable to think about it, after all, Li Keyong has folded tens of thousands of troops under Luoyang City, and even one of his most valued righteous sons almost died in Luoyang City, and it is very normal to have resentment in his heart.

However, he didn't have any idea about it, he knew very well in his heart that Li Keyong sent people to Chang'an for the jade seal, not for King Qin, he Li Keyong may not want the Tang Dynasty to perish, but it is definitely not loyal, or not loyal to him Zhao Fan.

Therefore, Zhao Fan does not have any psychological burden on him by the way, after all, he can take the opportunity to suppress Li Keyong's forces, so as not to make him too inflated because of his strength, which is also a good thing.

It's just that Zheng Congyan, an old minister, was pressed back to Chang'an from Taiyuan at a young age, and he was dusty and tired along the way, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he was already without half a life, but fortunately, Zhao Fan's old ginseng hung half a life for him, so he didn't have a life.

Li Cunxiao originally wanted to kill him to sacrifice the flag, but was stopped by Li Keyong, after all, it was also an old acquaintance, and he couldn't be so ruthless.

Everything developed according to Zhao Fan's expectations, and Datang also began a short period of peace.
