Chapter 111: Li Yuan is promoted

When the officers and soldiers were about to retreat, Zhang Xutuo said to the soldiers: "When the thieves see us retreating, they must lead all their men and horses to pursue, if they attack and occupy the camp of the thieves with a thousand men, they can achieve a great victory, this is indeed a dangerous thing, who can go?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to answer, only Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong asked to go.

So Zhang Xutuo abandoned the camp fence and retreated, and sent Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao to lead 1,000 troops each to ambush in the reeds.

Lu Mingyue really concentrated all the men and horses to attack Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong led their troops to gallop to Lu Mingyue's camp, the camp gate was closed, the two climbed over the fence to the walled tower, each killed a few people, and killed the soldiers guarding the camp gate to let the officers and soldiers outside in.

There was chaos in Lu Mingyue's camp, and Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong took advantage of the situation to set fire to more than 30 camps of Lu Mingyue, and the flames soared into the sky.

Lu Mingyue was concerned about the money and food in the camp, so she quickly galloped back to the camp, and Zhang Xutuo returned to the army to attack and break Lu Mingyue. Lu Mingyue led hundreds of cavalry to escape, and more than 100,000 troops were captured and killed by the army.

On the seventh day of the second month, Yang Guang fled because of his household registration and many thieves, so he issued an edict ordering the people to move into the city to live, and the fields were distributed nearby. Castles were built in counties, post pavilions, and village docks.

As soon as this edict came out, the world was boiling, and the people were scolding who came up with this bad idea. The people depend on nothing more than the land to survive, and if they suddenly all move into the city, how can they live?

It's the opposite, it's all fucking reversed!

Soon after this edict was issued, the number of rebels across the country showed an explosive growth, this time even in the land of Bashu, not to mention Hebei and Shandong.

The people of Shanggu County, who were originally quite stable, finally rose up.

In March, the thief king Suba gathered the displaced people to capture the county of Shanggu County, and then proclaimed himself the king of Mantian, and named the country Yan. The thief Wei Dao'er called himself Lishan Fei, and the two of them quickly developed and grew, each with more than 100,000 people, connecting the Turks in the north and the land of Kouyan and Zhao in the south.

In April, Yang Guang toured Taiyuan, planning to spend the summer in Fenyang Palace, but before he arrived in Jinyang, he heard that Wuduan in Longmen County, Hedong County, had launched a rebellion, with more than 30,000 people, and rebellions of different sizes broke out in Changping, Shangdang and other counties one after another.

Yang Guang angrily threw the song to the ground, "The Taishou of Taiyuan County is called Wang Ru, let him lead the troops to wipe out these chaotic ministers and thieves in Hedong Dao!" ”

After Yang Guang finished saying this, the faces of all the officials were extremely strange, and finally Yu Shiji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Wang Ru Taishou died of illness last year, and now the Taishou of Taiyuan County is still vacant. ”

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat unpleasant face: "I have forgotten this, since this Taiyuan County Taishou has been vacant for so long, it is too unreasonable, who can take on this big responsibility?" ”

Yuwen said: "Your Majesty, Wang Wei of Taiyuan County and General Pan Changwen are all good candidates. ”

Wang Wei and Pan Changwen both gave Yuwenshu a lot of money, and Yuwenshu also accepted them all, as long as one of them can become the Taishou, as for who can be the Taishou, it is not that Yuwenshu doesn't care.

Yang Guang shook his head and said: "Pan Changwen just lost the battle in Lishi last year, and he is only one mediocre, and he is already very tolerant if I don't remove his officials, this person doesn't have to think about it, as for Wang Wei'......"

"Your Majesty." Pei Yun said: "Weichen thinks that Wang Wei's official qualifications are not enough to hold the position of Taiyuan County Taishou. ”

Yang Guang bowed his head slightly and said: "Pei Aiqing is reasonable, then who else do you think can take on this important responsibility?" ”

Pei Yun said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Wei Shaoqing Li Yuan and Li Shude could take on this important responsibility, first, he had been troubled by Lou during the Kaihuang period, and he was no stranger to Hedong Road; second, he has a resume of a variety of official positions in the dynasty, and his qualifications are sufficient to be competent; Third, he is a relative of His Majesty, which can be trusted. ”

"I don't think it's appropriate!" As soon as Pei Yun finished speaking, Yu Shiji immediately stepped out and retorted loudly.

After seeing Yang Guang's inquiring glance at him, Yu Shiji sorted out his emotions and straightened out his thoughts, "Li Yuan is too punctual for Honghua County, and he has many misdeeds, so he can't be entrusted with important tasks anymore, besides, Li Yuan's concubine Li Yin is in Yanmen County, and he still has heavy troops in his hands, how can they let their father and son be in Hedong together?" ”

Yu Shiji has always had some trouble dealing with Li Yuan, plus his son Yu Rou has been missing for a few years, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, although there is no evidence that it is related to Li Yin, Yu Shiji still feels that this matter has nothing to do with Li Yin.

Yu Shiji has been looking for a suitable opportunity to take revenge on Li Yin, and before that, he naturally didn't want his Li family's strength to increase.

Pei Ju, who had not yet spoken, smiled at this time and said: "Lord Yu doesn't know, although Li Yin is the son of Li Shude, the relationship between the father and son is not good, and even a little like each other, as far as I know, they haven't met for two or three years and passed letters, so if Li Shude is transferred to Hedong, he can still let his father and son contain each other!" ”

Pei Ju then looked at Yu Shiji meaningfully and said: "As for the rumored disobedience of Li Shude in Honghua County, I think it is the slanderous words of some villains, and it is really not enough to believe it!" ”

"You...... You ......" Yu Shiji listened to Pei Ju's words just now, obviously saying that he was a villain who slandered Li Yuan, and he was immediately annoyed.

Yang Guangdao: "There is some truth in the words of the two Aiqing, since this is the case, let Li Yuan serve as the consolation envoy of Hedong for the time being, and see if he can quell the rebellion in Hedong Dao!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The officials shouted in unison.

In April of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan was appointed as the ambassador of Shanxi and Hedong to comfort him, and undertook the dethronement of the county civil and military officials, and sent Hedong soldiers to hunt down the bandits.

The official position of appeasement ambassador is temporary, and it is generally used when the generals are conquest of the place, and it will be withdrawn after the conquest is over, but in any case, after Li Yuan won the position of the ambassador of Shanxi and Hedong, he became the highest-ranking official in this place.

What's more, in the edict appointing Li Yuan, there is also such a sentence as "undertaking the deposition of the deposed county civil and military officials", which means that Li Yuan can be ordered to assume the responsibility of promoting and demoting the civil and military officials of the counties and counties, which is a real power, although the promotion of the officials is ultimately decided by Yang Guang, but there is the right to propose in hand, which is still very deterrent.

After Li Yuan received the edict, he was naturally very happy, and at the same time, he was also very grateful to Li Yin in his heart, because Li Yin had a lot of credit for this.

Liu Wenjing is familiar with Pei Lian, the supervisor of Jinyang Palace, and Pei Lian is a happy person in Hedong with Pei Yun and Pei Ju.
