Chapter 642: Turning a Country into a County



Shi Xiong got up and immediately lifted the table and fought with Lu Zhen, Shi Xianzhong saw it, and hurriedly threw the wine jugs, wine bowls, cups, and saucers outside, and fell to the ground with a clanging clang, and persuaded loudly: "Listen to me, the war is unfavorable, it's not that Shi is bold and incompetent, it's really that the enemy is too cunning." ”

When the soldiers outside the tent heard that there was a fight in the tent for some reason, they all moved forward, but no one dared to enter without an order. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Lu Zhen being thrown out like a stone, falling to the ground and humming and unable to get up, and saw Shi Xiong striding out with his nose covered, riding on Lu Zhen's body and punching him.

Shi Xianzhong then ran out, and ordered the soldiers on the left and right to say: "Still stunned, hurry up." ”

Everyone rushed up to pull Shi Xiong, Shi Xiong's arms seemed to have a thousand strength, one stroke pulled down a piece, and then another stroke pulled down another piece, Lu Zhen took advantage of Shi Xiong's distraction, struggled to struggle, but pushed Shi Xiong down, riding on him and holding his neck with both hands. Shi Xianzhong shouted, strode over, grabbed Lu Zhen and freed him from him, and all the pro-soldiers rushed up hand in hand to form a human wall, so as to separate Shi Xiong and Lu Zhen.

Both of them were covered with blood, scolding each other in the air, Shi Xiong scolded Shi Xianzhong for being incompetent, Shi Xianzhong puffed up angrily: "Drunk and beating your comrades, you are so capable." Suddenly, Lu Zhen turned around and walked out, and hurriedly asked where to go, Lu Zhen said: "The world is a famous general, we are all wastes, this battle Lao Tzu is gone, let him fight alone." ”

Shi Xianzhong asked his own soldiers to stop him, Lu Zhen pulled the knife, stared at his blood-red eyes, and asked sharply: "Look who dares." ”

Everyone really didn't dare to come forward, after Lu Zhen returned to the camp, he summoned the generals to discuss the retreat, everyone advised him not to be rash, Lu Zhen hated: "Shixiong deceived people too much, I can't swallow this breath." ”

Just as he was saying that Shi Xianzhong arrived at the camp on horseback, he was immediately surrounded by Lu Zhen's generals, and everyone shouted for the main general, Shi Xianzhong was forced to be helpless, so he had to admit in public: "Don't worry, you must be given an explanation to the Taibao and the chief executive." "I finally persuaded everyone. appeased Lu Zhen and went to see Shi Xiong again, but Shi Xiong refused to meet him because of a nose injury. Shi Xianzhong had no choice but to return to the camp, but late that night, several generals in Shixiong's camp led two or three hundred people to the front of Lu Zhen's camp to call for battle, and the two sides were tense and almost fought.

Fortunately, the soldiers and horses of the Yanshan Governor's Mansion made Qian Duoduo come forward to mediate, so that there was no catastrophe.

Things got to this point, Shi Xianzhong didn't dare to hide the fight, so he ordered the secretary to draft a document to truthfully show Chang Mucang, and three days later, a team of guards Yu Hou came to the big battalion, and Shi Xiong and a dry tooth general were taken to Tiezhou for questioning.

A few days later, news came that Shi Xiong had been ordered to return to Liaodong City to report on his work, and Shi Xianzhong took over the command.

According to the original plan, after Shi Xiong went through the motions in Tiezhou, he would return to Chong'an and lead 3,000 elites to make a detour to attack Shangjing, but as soon as they arrived in Tiezhou, they were detained by Chang Mucang and sent back to Liaodong City without saying anything.

Shi Xiong was furious, and when he saw Li Mao, he was angry and said that Chang Mucang had accepted Da Shimu's black money and defected to the enemy and committed treason. Li Mao smiled: "In a drunken fight, who made the first move?" You're right. Shi Xiong argued: "The fight is fake, but the trick is real." Tearing off his underwear and taking out the joint letter of Shi Xianzhong and Lu Zhen, Li Mao read the letter, put it on the case casually, and said with a smile: "This trick you came up with can only deceive a three-year-old child, although Da Yunrong is young, he is a rare general, you can't hide it." In addition, in order to besiege Gaosu, Da Shimu let go of the northern border of the Bohai Sea, and let the Yan people go south to plunder, and now the forests in the north of the mountains are full of barbarians, and it is easy for your 3,000 people to enter, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to come out. Have you ever thought about it? ”

Shi Xiong said: "Even if the plan can't be carried out, he shouldn't send me to Liaodong, the frontline battle is stalemate, how can I leave my post without permission?" ”

Li Mao said: "I asked President Chang to send you." The purpose is to put on a show for the people lurking around us. ”

Shi Xiong said: "So we really have their eyes and ears lurking around us? Grandma, I've always felt that something was wrong, why did the powerful right compartment suddenly become dumb and deaf. Who is it, have you found out? ”

Li Mao said: "It doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that you hurry back to the front line of Chongshan, command your soldiers and horses, and prepare to attack Shangjing." But you are drunk and cause trouble, and you beat your comrades, and your sins are unforgivable, and I will punish you first. ”

Shi Xiong smiled and said, "I don't care if I don't punish the crime." It's just that if you want to hit Beijing, how easy is it? Da Yunrong and Li Zhuo are both cautious people with soldiers, and the two bastards hide in the high base and deep trench and don't show their heads, what can I do? Seeing Li Mao's eyes firm and confident, he suddenly rejoiced and said, "I understand." ”

Shi Xiong's brain turned fast, after Fang Chuang's death, it was said that Li Yu took the initiative to ask Ying to go east, and then there was suddenly no news, not only did he have no news, but even Fang Chuang's army of 20,000 people had no news, the Bohai War situation was so difficult, Li Mao would never let the 20,000 fresh troops who came all the way lie down and sleep, put Li Yu and these 20,000 people together like this, Shi Xiong suddenly understood something.

Li Mao didn't say anything, he didn't ask, he immediately packed up and returned to the front line in Chong'an, as for the demotion or something, he didn't care, as long as he could win the battle, he would come back with everything in a blink of an eye.

In the first year of Yamato, in mid-September, Li Yu, the right servant of the Tang Dynasty, the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, the Yingping Observation Envoy, and the deputy commander of the Bohai Expedition to the east, led an army of 20,000 to break through the capital of the Bohai State and capture 1,300 princes and nobles under the king Dashi Mu and the high-ranking officials of the three provinces.

At the end of the month, Shi Xiong, Shi Xianzhong, Lu Zhen, and Qian Duoduo joined forces to defeat the Great Yunrong, Li Zhuo, and Gao Senmiao under the city of Chong'an, beheaded 30,000 people, and captured 362 high-ranking officials above the state prince, the capital leader, and the assassin history.

So far, the elites of the Bohai Sea have lost everything, and the century-old camp has changed hands.

At the beginning of October, Shi Xiong's three armies and Li Yu triumphantly joined forces in Shangjing.

Li Mao learned the lesson of Silla, and did not choose a submissive one from the descendants of the Great Clan to be the king, but directly turned the old land of Bohai into Datangzhou County, and set up three envoys of Anyuan, Longquan, and Buyeo to govern its land.

Longquan Jiedu envoy jurisdiction of the original Bohai State Longquan Mansion, Xiande Mansion, Tongzhou, Yingzhou and Longyuan Mansion, here is the core area of the Bohai State, the economy is developed, densely populated, Li Mao please take Li Yu as the envoy of the festival.

Li Yu is undoubtedly the greatest hero of the Eastern Crusade, a hero and a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he is not Li Mao's personal minister. Second, Li Yu was the only general who did not advocate moving the Bohai treasury to Liaodong or Youzhou, which fully proves his vision and mind. Bohai is newly settled, the people need to be appeased, if the treasury is moved back to Liaodong, the people will inevitably suffer disasters again. Bohai is now the state and county of the Tang Dynasty, and the people are the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and the newly attached people should not be treated too harshly, which is a lesson that Li Mao paid for with blood.

The last and most important point is that the Internal Security Department told Li Mao that Li Yu was suffering from a serious illness, and the limit was only in the past two years.

The second hero of the Eastern Crusade was none other than Shi Xianzhong, Li Maosheng was promoted to the envoy of the Buyeo Festival, leading the army to defend the former Bohai State Buyeo Mansion and Liaodong Bezhou, which was a bridge between Liaodong and Longquan.

Li Mao made an exception to promote Qian Duoduo as the envoy of Anyuan Jiedu, and the envoy of Anyuan Jiedu ruled the former Bohai State Anyuan, Anbian, Dongping, Fuyuan and other places, all of which were remote and poor places, and they had to deal with uncivilized barbarians all year round, so although Qian Duoduo jumped up several levels, no one cared about him, because everyone knew that his Jiedu envoy was an authentic chore, and he had to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers to play.

When it was October, the Bohai region had already hit the people, and all the armies except those who stayed behind to pacify the place, the rest were successively pulled back to Liaodong.
