After the Jiangdu Palace Change, the Yu family in Luoyang had already been bulldozed with the killing of Yu Shiji. Biquge%Infow?w?w?.? Yu Shinan and others were unwilling to accept the arrangement of Honglu Temple, so they followed Lu Qi to live in the Lu family. Fortunately, there were only more than ten people in the city, and the Lu family had enough places for them to stay.

The night was quiet, the moonlight was bright, and a dark shadow quietly appeared on the street behind Lu Fu, and he was just about to step forward and knock on the door, when someone opened the door and let him dodge in.

The man in black thought that his whereabouts were treacherous, but in fact, as soon as he entered the door of the Lu Mansion, many people hurried to various places in the night, some went to the imperial city, and some went to the mansion of the most powerful man in Luoyang. Of course, there were many people who stayed where they were, staring closely at the surroundings of the Lu Mansion, waiting for the man in black to come out.

After the night passed, the Lu Mansion was as quiet as an abandoned ghost house, and there was no movement.

At the beginning, Yang Tong was driven to Jiangdu, and Lu Qi took most of the clansmen to follow, leaving only two people to take care of the mansion, so for Lu Qi, Lu Mansion actually has nothing to be nostalgic for, and the reason why he insisted on staying in Luoyang City for one night was to wait for a news: the man in black was the one who sent the news.

Soon after Wang Shichong put Yang Gao under house arrest, Li Xuanba, who was far away in Jiangdu, received news that there was no doubt that there must be the eyeliner of the Southern Sui court in Luoyang City. Yu Shinan and Lu Qi are both smart people, even if Li Xuanba didn't tell them in advance, they could guess.

Of course, Wang Shichong also discovered this, so he sent people to keep an eye on the Lu Mansion and try to catch Nan Sui Xizuo who was hiding in Luoyang City.

On the second day, the Southern Sui mission took its leave and left the city, and when it left the city, there were more people in the mission.

The man was mediocre in appearance, of ordinary stature, no one would look at him at all when he walked on the street, he walked behind Lieutenant Xiao, drooping his head, and did not care about the things around him.

......

In August of the third year of Tianze, it was an eventful autumn.

Yang Gao left Luoyang City, and the Southern Sui delegation returned in a huff, these two things did not attract the attention of the people of the world, because during this time, too many major events happened in the world.

Wang Shichong dedicated the city to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan named him the king of Luoyang, and continued to be in charge of the affairs of Luoyang.

At first, everyone didn't understand that Luoyang City was already in Datang's bag, why Datang made such a decision, after all, Wang Shichong was not an idle person, if he was given enough time to breathe, it was likely to threaten Datang's stability in the future.

In the midst of the chaos, the news spread very slowly, and the hidden guards had tried their best to rush, but Jiang Du was still a lot late in receiving the news. It turned out that Datang was willing to back down because Liu Wuzhou suddenly sent troops south.

If it was just Liu Wuzhou, Datang would not be afraid, but the Turks sent tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horsemen into Taiyuan to join forces with Liu Wuzhou.

In addition, Song Jingang, Wang Xingben and other old generals of the Sui Dynasty raised troops at the same time, saying that they would crusade against Wang Shichong. However, their troops did not aim directly at Luoyang, but assisted Liu Wuzhou and captured most of Shanxi's land with great speed.

In the face of such a situation, even if he was as strong as the Tang Dynasty, in order to let Li Jiancheng lead the army to stop the enemy, he had to compromise with Wang Shichong.

Liu Wuzhou waved his army south, and Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao were ordered by the Tang Dynasty to withdraw to Zhuo County, first, to prevent Liu Wuzhou from seizing the city, and secondly, to contain Liu Wuzhou's army from the side, so that it did not dare to rush into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Zhang Xutuo originally planned to pursue the army of Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao, but many counties in the land of Qilu rebelled. Li Jiancheng waved his army north, but Li Shimin still led tens of thousands of troops to fight against Xu Shiji and Dou Jiande, and it was difficult to get out. Therefore, Zhang Xutuo had to lead his troops to suppress it, and his troops were divided into eight routes, so that all the counties in the land of Qilu completely became the land of Southern Sui.

......

There were frequent wars in the north, but the south of the Yangtze River gradually stabilized.

Wu County was besieged for several months, and there was plenty of grain and grass in the city, as long as the army and the people were united, they would be able to hold out for about half a year, but with Li Jing's almost cold-blooded soldiers attacking day and night, the major warriors in the city were panicked, and after persuading Shen Faxing to surrender to no avail, they secretly united, attacked the palace, and killed Shen Faxing. Then he offered the heads of Shen Faxing and some of the Shen clansmen, and surrendered the city.

Li Jing led his army into the city and ordered all the adult men of the Shen clan to be beheaded, and the women and children were escorted back to Jiangdu to be left at the disposal of the imperial court. On that day, all parts of Wu County were filled with cries, and few people with the surname Shen could escape the search and arrest of the imperial army.

The rest of the clans saw Li Jing massacring the Shen family, and they didn't dare to persuade them at all, they knew very well that the imperial court had suffered heavy losses in attacking Wu County, and they must let Li Jing and the soldiers of the imperial court dissipate their anger, as long as Li Jing's anger did not burn on their bodies, what if the surname Shen died?

What's more, when he heard that the imperial court was arresting the Shen clan, he hurriedly sent the woman surnamed Shen who married back from the mansion to the court soldiers patrolling the streets, for fear that she would be found out in the future and be implicated. Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, and even husband and wife can betray each other, not to mention those concubines.

The blood of the Shen clan was shed for three days, although Li Jing was strict in governing the army, it was inevitable that some soldiers would take advantage of the chaos to seek personal gains, and many innocent people and wealthy families suffered damage, and the people of Wu County were panicked and terrified every day.

Fortunately, the envoys of the imperial court rushed to Wu County in time to ask Li Jing to stop the indiscriminate killing and looting. Li Jing sent people to behead more than 60 soldiers in a row, so that the people of Wu County could rest assured, and did not cause a rebellion like in the land of Qilu.

Long before the surrender of Wu County, the Southern Sui had already captured Yuzhang County. Yuzhang is the capital of the Chu State, and it was captured, representing the death of the Chu country. It's ridiculous to say that the biggest contributor to Yuwen Chengdu, Li Mian and others being able to win Yuzhang so quickly is none other than Lin Shihong, the emperor of Chu.

When Lin Shihong heard that the army of the Southern Sui Three Roads was pressing, he hurriedly sent an envoy to Jiangdu to beg for surrender, but when the army was in chaos, the envoy walked with difficulty, seeing that the time limit given to them by Lin Shihong had expired, and hearing that the army of the Southern Sui had attacked Yuzhang County, he did not care about the edict and fled for his life.

Lin Shihong saw that the Sui army was cutting down trees outside the city and building siege equipment, and he couldn't wait for the envoy to reply, so he dressed up in fright and fled to the mountains with his relatives and hundreds of followers. When Yuzhang Kaicheng surrendered, Yuwen Chengdu and others only felt inexplicable and confused.

The good news was continuously sent to Jiangdu from all directions, and Yang Tong issued an edict that the counties and counties of Southern Sui were exempted from paying taxes for half a year, and the whole world celebrated.

In mid-September, in addition to Zhang Xutuo and others in the north, Li Jing, Yuwen Chengdu, Qin Qiong and others all returned to Jiangdu, and Yang Tong set up a banquet in Jiangdu Palace to receive wind and dust for everyone, and rewarded each as a meritorious hero at the banquet.

This was supposed to be a happy event, but near the end of the feast, an incident occurred that ruined the atmosphere of the feast.

Almost all the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty were rewarded, but Li Xuanba was missing, so when Yang Tong finally raised a glass with Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba was very arrogant, and deliberately let the wine glass in his hand fall to the ground.

For such a big crime of disrespect, the angry Yang Tong's face turned red, and he directly issued an edict to remove Li Xuanba's title of King of Zhou and demote him to the Duke of Zhou. (To be continued.) )
