"Qiaoxi, let's go, the train is about to start." Next to Lishan Railway Station, under the heavy protection of the personal guards, Murong Feixue and Qiaoxi boarded the train with a few palace maids, and Ruyan had already boarded the train one step earlier with Xiao Tianqi in her arms.

After Qiaoxi got into the car, he found that Li Xuanqing and Hu Xiaosi were whispering something in the modified carriage with a military newspaper, and immediately ordered Ruyan to take Xiao Tianqi to the rest car on the side, Murong Feixue smiled when she saw Qiaoxi walking forward, and turned around to find Ruyan.

"Is there anything good about Big Brother?" Qiaoxi walked up to Li Xuanqing and said with a smile.

"Third sister-in-law, don't you need confinement if you have given birth? Isn't it bad for you to run around all day? Li Xuanqing didn't speak, but Hu Xiaosi asked a little differently.

Qiaoxi shook his head and said, "Everyone is different, I am in good health, and I have recovered a long time ago." "Qiaoxi's recovery after giving birth to a child is indeed good, and there is an inexplicable style on her body, and her smile is full of natural charm.

"Take a look for yourself, Zhu Quanzhong was driven to Xuzhou." Li Xuanqing also smiled and handed her the military newspaper in his hand. He and Qiaoxi are both visitors from later generations, and there are naturally more and better ways to recover after giving birth to a child than in this life, but many methods can only be tried by the couple themselves, and they can't talk to others.

"So the Central Plains is about to be defeated? This Ge Cunzhou seems to be a famous general, right? Qiaoxi frowned and frowned, clapped his hands and smiled: "Big brother is ready to return to the furnace to rebuild?" ”

Li Xuanqing nodded noncommittally, in fact, there is one more thing to go back in such a hurry, that is, to wait until the end of this year to popularize new military technologies, pilot new weapons, and carry out the refitting of formed troops, and the new technologies he brought in advance have now blossomed and borne fruit, and it is time to put them into practice.

"My lord, this time the Central Plains has been restored, are you thinking about ascending the throne and becoming the emperor?" Hu Xiaosi smiled and said: "Third sister-in-law, be careful, if the lord becomes the emperor, wouldn't he be the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts?" Haha, although the third sister-in-law is the queen's honor, she is deep in the palace as soon as she enters the palace. ”

"Really? Brother Hu, when Gesang came to see me this time, I told her, let her give birth to a baby for you as soon as possible, don't run around outside every day, the impact is not good. Hu Xiaosi's thoughtful expression made Hu Xiaosi suddenly feel a burst of cool air on the back of his head for no reason, and immediately retreated and begged for mercy: "Third sister-in-law, you can spare me, this plateau princess is too powerful, give me a good care, if it weren't for the lord's reason, how could I come out and be free." Third sister-in-law, you can't hurt me. ”

"Why are you so afraid of Gesang? I think that little girl is very gentle and lovely? Why did you start being threatened by others at this time? Li Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh. In fact, Gesang's character is very straightforward, but Hu Xiaosi himself is too playful, giving people a feeling of unreliability, so it will make this snowy princess unbearable, and the result is that the more you manage it, the bigger the rebound. This time, it was good to take advantage of Li Xuanqing's office in Lishan to come out and get away for a few days, but as the journey back to Chang'an got closer and closer, Hu Xiaosi's face became worse and worse.

"Okay, why don't you go back and talk to Gesang? But Brother Hu, you are also reviewing yourself, you are already a person who has started a family, and you can't play like this anymore. You should go home every day in Chang'an? It's not the work that delays it. Qiaoxi couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Hu Xiaosi's face.

After a few people took the train back to Chang'an, Xuan Yingwei's information came again, and the news that Dengzhou Zhu Youqi and Zheng Fan crossed the sea with the people to Sanhan also came over, but Li Xuanqing didn't react much, although the Sanhan area was in constant turmoil, almost the same as the Central Plains, but according to Zhu Youqi and Zheng Fan's ability, it shouldn't be too bad to live with so many people and hundreds of thousands of troops. It's just that in this way, the next step of unifying Jiangnan will inevitably be involved.

"My lord, why don't we leave him alone for the time being, and then return to the north after the main force goes south to unify Jiangnan? Anyway, we are bound to win the Northeast, and it doesn't matter if we have one more day or one less day. In fact, Zheng Fan's move is not necessarily a bad thing. Cen Tianshi also learned the news after greeting Li Xuanqing, but according to his vision, he didn't think it was a big problem for Sanhan. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Sanhan region and the Central Plains region were very closely connected, and many people in China were no strangers to the Sanhan region, and many people even went there.

"After the unification of Jiangnan, the northwest region will be the biggest problem, and I am afraid that I will not be able to spare more energy to deal with the northeast at that time. The Khitan Yelu Hanxiong has already gained a foothold in the Bohai Kingdom, and this time it may be more difficult to exterminate it. Moreover, Zuorong of the Bohai State seems to be interested in making peace with Yelu Hanxiong. Hu Xiaosi shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Cen Tianshi's approach.

"That's really difficult, once Jiangnan is unified, it is inevitable to build a lot and restore people's livelihood. At most, our energy can sustain the battle in one direction. Cen Tianshi is also distressed, for the Central Plains War, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has cut off nearly half of the investment, if the war lasts for many years, even if there is a blood transfusion from Qianzhuang, I am afraid there is no way to continue to maintain. To put it bluntly, the blood transfusion of Qianzhuang is to draw the precipitation funds of the people, and if it is put into reproduction, then it is a virtuous circle, but if the war is carried out, I am afraid that there may not be any output, and in the long run, it will inevitably drag the entire social structure to collapse.

"Forget it, I don't want him. I heard that Tianxiang had taken Ge Cunzhou and other senior generals of the Xuanwu Army to Chang'an three days ago, and Tianxiang wrote that Ge Cunzhou seemed to be unwilling to continue to go out and wanted to retire and return to his hometown, but was stopped by Tianxiang. Hu Xiaosi didn't want to continue the topic just now, so he touched his head and smiled.

"Wait until Chang'an. If Ge Cunzhou is unwilling to go out, he can go to the Military Academy. This person is very capable in his own right, and he is the most versatile handsome talent in the Xuanwu Army. Li Xuanqing didn't react much, but said to Cen Tianshi, who was drinking tea on the side: "After Mr. goes back, let the people from the Department of Transportation find a way to rebuild the canal between Tongguan and Luoyang, connecting Guanzhong and the Central Plains. Li Xuanqing suddenly thought of this and continued: "I remember that it seems that the waterway from Tongguan to Luoyang was smooth before, but it was not possible in Guanzhong. How is it the other way around now? ”

"Yang Yi is busy now, he just pulled the captive Huangjia people from the north back to Youzhou, and as a result, we came to the Central Plains with tens of thousands of people, it is estimated that they will have to have tens of thousands more in Tiancheng in the past few days, which may add up to hundreds of thousands. If you want me to say sir, hurry up, no matter what the project is, let's talk about it first. Hu Xiaosi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have asked the Department of Communications and the Department of Civil Affairs to make a plan, and even Zhang Quanfu in the Hexi Corridor has already reported the plan, and when the time comes, these people will be diverted to various places, let them serve for three years, and after three years, they will each settle down as citizens. In three years, we estimate that the large-scale projects are basically completed. Cen Tianshi said with a smile.

Several people talked and laughed, and the train also drove directly from Lishan to Chang'an Railway Station. After getting out of the car, Li Xuanqing took Qiaoxi and others back to the palace first. Hu Xiaosi took a step behind and grabbed Cen Tianshi, and the two walked out of the train station and arrived at the Civil Affairs Building.

"Sir, now that the Central Plains is just around the corner, should we prepare in advance for the enthronement that the lord said before? Our Tang Empire can't live without an emperor, right? Hu Xiaosi sat down and said.

Hu Xiaosi's words made Cen Tianshi nod, and he said in a deep voice: "In this way, I will convene a meeting of the heads of various departments of the Ministry of Civil Affairs tonight to study a plan for enthronement, you should hurry up and contact Tianxiang and them to see if there is anything to prepare in the army." Tiancheng They are still fighting on the front line, and they also need to ask for their opinions. Although the lord said that he would ascend the throne after the unification of the Central Plains, but now that Zhu Quanzhong is still in Xuzhou, we must take matters seriously this time. ”

"Now that the little apocalypse has been successfully born, I guess the lord is also thinking about this matter, and he may be thinking about the organizational structure of our group in the past few days. Let's go our separate ways. Cen Tianshi's words made Hu Xiaosi nod, and after the two of them had a while, Hu Xiaosi went out, and Cen Tianshi immediately asked the attendants around him to start convening a meeting of the heads of various ministries of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the evening to discuss the matter.

However, when Chang'an was preparing to discuss Li Xuanqing's accession to the throne, Wan Yi and Chen Yu on the western front immediately divided into three routes after the division, with Xue Yang as the first path to go south to recover Caizhou and connect Jingzhou and other places, and he personally led all the way from Zhengzhou to Dengzhou, while Chen Yu led the third road from Bianzhou to Yingzhou to move on the front line. The three-way army of the Western Front roared through the land of the Central Plains, quickly cleansing all the forces of the Xuanwu Army in the southwest of the Central Plains.

The main corps of the Tiance Army under the personal command of Wang Houchun and Yang Tiancheng ignored the military towns along the way, led the army to advance lightly, arrived in Xuzhou before Zhu Quanzhong reacted, and began to engage with Zhu Quanzhong's remaining men, and handed over all the other encirclement and suppression recovery tasks along the way to Li Tianyi, who had already occupied the Shandong Peninsula and moved south.

It can be said that the actions of these armies in the Central Plains were smooth, and the main force of the Xuanwu Army could no longer stop the military operations of the Tiance Army after the collapse of Texas. Even the Marines came to join in the fun and sent warships down the canal to the south, constantly raiding towns along the canal along the way.

This kind of situation of defeat also made Wang Houchun and other leading generals shake their heads, and it took him and others more than nine months, and more than 600,000 soldiers and horses mobilized before and after finally won the fruits of victory, how could they not be happy.

At the beginning of September 891, the main force of the Tiance Army and the Xuanwu Army of Xuzhou were officially contacted, and Wang Houchun let Liu Baoliang command on the front line, and he and Yang Tiancheng and others made a detour to the southern area of Xuzhou to join Yang Xingmi. At this point, most of the area north of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of the Tiance army.

After Yang Xingmi and Yang Tiancheng converged, he immediately said that he would transfer the command of the Huainan Army, and he led the senior generals of the Huainan Army to Chang'an to meet Li Xuanqing. However, after thinking about it, Yang Tiancheng left Li Shenfu and other Huainan army generals on the front line in Xuzhou, and let his personal guards and Li Jipeng accompany Yang Xingmi to go back to Chang'an through the canal. Except for the later Wan Yi and others, the high-level generals of the Tiance Army are all singles or have no heirs, and they finally have juniors who are eager to see them, and many people have even asked for any good gifts in the past few days.

After sending Yang Xingmi away, Yang Tiancheng asked Li Shenfu to lead the army from the southern front to attack several other prefectures and counties attached to Xuzhou, and at the same time let the Tiance army start attacking Xuzhou City. With the assistance of new gunpowder weapons, Zhu Quanzhong's army could not hold the city defense at all, under the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops like a sea tide, Xuzhou City was broken in half a day, and the morale of the Tiance army that broke into the city was even higher, and the discouraged Xuanwu army was surrounded on three sides and could only withdraw from Xuzhou from the east city, and Zhu Quanzhong, who was in a panic, led the only remaining 3,000 people of the Praetorian Guard to flee all the way to Haizhou to board the ship and leave, and never disappeared.

The soldiers of the Tiance Army, who did not catch Zhu Quanzhong, were angry and pointed their spearheads at other cities around Xuzhou, and the remnants of the Xuanwu Army in Bozhou, Sizhou and Suzhou with Xuzhou as the center were broken one after another, and the entire eastern front took the lead in completing the recovery. After the Tiance army that had turned back went north, broke through various towns along the way and joined Li Tianyi again, the main force marched westward and began to assist the men and horses of the Western Front to recover the hinterland of the Central Plains.

On the tenth day of September in 891 AD, Chenzhou, the last stronghold of the Xuanwu army left in the Central Plains, was successfully captured, and Zhang Long, the defender of Chenzhou, was killed on the spot, announcing the end of the secession force of the late Tang Dynasty feudal towns that came out of the Huangchao Uprising in the Central Plains. It took more than a year for the Tiance Army to deploy more than 600,000 troops. As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked, and all the large and small forces along the entire Yangtze River were completely frightened by this cold snap from the north. And all the classes within the Tiance Mansion fell into a carnival. Today's Tiance Mansion has become the center of the whole world, and it also represents the rise of the last force of the Tang Dynasty.

And the most obvious thing is that Li Xuanqing's son's full moon banquet appeared many representatives of the southern forces, and these people inquired about the next move of the Tiance Army while sending congratulatory gifts. And Hu Xiaosi, who was in charge of the reception, looked at these people with a weird smile.

"Little Four, Tiancheng, will they be able to come back in time?" Cen Tianshi didn't know when he walked to Hu Xiaosi's lair, the headquarters of Xuan Yingwei, and asked.

Hu Xiaosi was taken aback, and quickly clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to bring tea, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, they said that even if they run to death, the war horse will be rushed back." What day did you choose the time, sir? ”

"On the first day of October, this day was chosen by chance, and the lord has no opinion." Cen Tianshi said with a smile: "I've calculated, the first day of October is a good day." ”

"I'll go, my lord knows? I'm going to do a surprise attack. Hu Xiaosi was stunned for a moment before he reacted and smiled bitterly.

Cen Tianshi said angrily: "Do you think that the lord doesn't know about our thoughts?" Hey, it's off-topic, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is ready, and Tianxiang from the Military Department will be able to rush back tomorrow at the latest, and you are the only one left in charge of Chang'an, hurry up and give me a letter, what is the reaction of the others? ”

"Sir, rest assured, this matter is safekept." Hu Xiaosi nodded and smiled.

Cen Tianshi suddenly reassured: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs is ready, and I have already asked Xingxia and Murong to go to Zhangluo for the civil part." ”

"Then wait, the full moon feast will begin the day after tomorrow. We're going to have to take care of it this time. Cen Tianshi said with a smile.
