From wanting to surrender to going to the Eastern Capital, it was only a few hours. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But he obviously thought about it for a long time, and agreed to the conditions proposed to Li Jing.

Zhang Liang and Chen Xiaoyi were surprised, they never thought that there would be such a bizarre change in Jiangnan.

Li Zitong died, Wang Shichong abruptly occupied Jiangdu, these are just a few days of effort, but Du Fuwei, who has been fighting against Xiao Buyi for a long time, decided to surrender to the Eastern Capital in just a few hours!

Zhang Liang and Chen Xiaoyi thought to themselves that if it were themselves, they would probably beware of Du Fuwei's fraud. But Li Jing was an extraordinary person who did extraordinary things, not only agreed to Du Fuwei's request, but also immediately began to arrange for people to escort Du Fuwei across the river to the north and to the eastern capital.

Du Fuwei didn't even consider returning to Liyang, and directly agreed to Li Jing's arrangement.

However, the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai Army went, after all, it was a trivial matter, Du Fuwei did not turn back to the army, but ordered Ximen Junyi to return to Liyang, inform Fu Gongqi of his own decision, and then only take his son Wang Xiongdan, a total of two people to the eastern capital.

Du Fuwei has been in the uprising for many years, and he has also cooperated with Fu Gong Yi for many years, the two of them are one martial arts and one literate, complement each other, Fu Gong Yi can be regarded as the second person in the Jianghuai Army, Du Fuwei explained some things to Fu Gong Yi, it is also understandable.

When preparations were made, at noon, Li Jing had already arranged for Du Fuwei to cross the river, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers escorting Du Fuwei to the north this time, which showed that Li Jing attached great importance to this trip.

After Du Fuwei left, Zhang Liang finally expressed the doubts in his heart, "General Li, I always feel that things are a little strange. Du Fuwei was in a hurry, not like a surrender, but a bit like a refugee! ”

Chen Xiaoyi also said: "Even if he is obedient, he should actually arrange the Jianghuai army before leaving." can look at Ximen Junyi's expression, it seems that there is something unspeakable about Du Fuwei's obedience. ”

Li Jing nodded, "There is some truth in what you said. However, the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, Du Fuwei was hesitating, we should make a decision immediately, and as for the rest of the things, we will find a way to solve it. ”

Zhang Liang said: "General Li? Is there a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not? "Zhang Liang, as a member of the Wagang, has always been cautious and calm, although Li Jing is important, but many times, he is cautious.

Li Jing smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. General Zhang, many things, as long as they are irrelevant, although they are said. ”

Zhang Liang asked: "Did the King of Xiliang really predict that Du Fuwei would surrender, so the official positions of the reward have been decided?" ”

Li Jing shook his head, "King Xiliang didn't have a reward, as long as I was adaptable." ”

"Then when Du Fuwei arrives in the Eastern Capital, if there is no reward, shouldn't he rebel?" Zhang Liang said worriedly.

Li Jing said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, long before Du Fuwei set off, I had already rushed eight hundred miles to report the news of Du Fuwei's return to the king of Xiliang......"

"General Li, I want to be a master of high merit, and I have always aroused suspicion, are you not afraid of the suspicion of King Xiliang like this?" Chen Xiaoyi asked worriedly.

Li Jing's expression did not move, "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to this in the future." ”

Zhang Liang asked: "Du Fuwei only brought two people here, I think the reward for him is too generous, in fact, as long as Du Fuwei is captured, the Jianghuai army will be defeated without a fight." ”

Li Jing shook his head and said: "This plan is absolutely impossible, if we want Du Fuwei to serve the people with righteousness, if we are treacherous and fight against him, I am afraid that if we want to hurry, we will not be able to achieve it, and it will provoke the anger of the Jianghuai army, which is extremely unfavorable to pacifying Jiangnan." The king of Xiliang should be rewarded soon, and if the Jianghuai generals are recruited, there will be no more waves. You must remember that after Du Fuwei has surrendered, we will not move our troops for the time being, and we must not fight with the Jianghuai army, and everything can be temporarily retreated! As for how to deal with Fu Gong Yi, Kan Ling and others, I have my own countermeasures! ”

The second general ordered before he could retreat, and a soldier sent an urgent message, Li Jing opened it and suddenly laughed.

Li Jing has always been serious, and his smile at Du Fuwei is official and rare, but at this time, he actually looked very happy.

Chen Xiaoyi was puzzled and asked, "Why is the general laughing?" ”

"Wang Shichong is really extraordinary, he just occupied Jiangdu, and he can't wait to be the emperor." Li Jing muttered to himself: "He is the same as Yu Wenhua, and it is good to be an emperor for a day." Enlightened? It's really interesting that he gave this era name! ”

Chen Xiaoyi and Zhang Liang took the military document and looked at it, only to see that it was written, 'Wang Shichong is called the emperor, the country name is Zheng, and the year name is enlightened!' ’

**

When Li Jing and the second general were discussing, Wang Shichong was sitting in Yangzhou City, and he was full of spirit for a while. Killed Li Zitong, replaced him, easily appeased Li Zitong's subordinates, captured Shen Lun again, defeated Shen Faxing's army, and forced back the Jianghuai army, none of these things were easy, but he was still at ease in doing it.

On Li Jing's side, there was no movement at all, which made Wang Shichong mistakenly think for a while that Li Jing was also afraid of his plan and did not dare to attack him.

But the reality quickly made him sober up, Wang Shichong warned himself not to be arrogant, because Xiao Buyi is never easy to deal with!

Xiao Buyi has occupied half of the territory of the Central Plains, and the rest of the anti-kings and gate lords are only divided into the other half, and the territory occupied by him Wang Shichong, not to mention compared to Xiao Buyi, even compared with Xu Yuanlang, is not optimistic.

After enduring for several years, after Wang Shichong's army defeated the eastern capital, he had already aimed at the land of Jiangdu, which was his last chance.

Xiao Buyi is strong at the moment, and all the heroes and heroes in the world look up to him, even if Li Yuan and Dou Jiande are difficult to compete with. Wang Shichong knew that Li Yuan and Dou Jiande would never be willing to sit still, and they would definitely unite secretly, so he inserted a leg and joined in, and Li Tang and the Hebei army had no possibility of refusing him to make peace.

Although Xiao Buyi is strong, it cannot be said that he is strong enough to resist the joint efforts of the three families. As long as the three of them can defeat Xiao Buyi and carve up his territory, the rest can only be said to be possible!

When Wang Shichong was wishful thinking, he looked at his generals and listened to their military information.

Yang Gongqing, Le Botong, and Guo Shancai were all present, and Wang Xuanying was also with a group of clan relatives.

What did he say to Li Zitong that the tree was scattered, and only a lonely family remained, obviously he was still lying to Li Zitong, in fact, except for the early death of Wang Wei and Wang Xuanshu, the foundation of Wang Shi's role as a year was not damaged.

Every time he thinks about the death of his son Wang Wei and his son Wang Xuanshu, Wang Shichong has a secret hatred in his heart, and he just wants to crush Xiao Buyi's bones and ashes.

He hated Xiao Buyi, not only because Xiao Buyi killed his son, but also because Xiao Buyi blocked his way, if there was no Xiao Buyi, the current lord of the Eastern Capital should have been his Wang Shichong!

and Yuan Wen couldn't join forces, Wang Shichong found that something was wrong before entering the city, and fled south in a hurry. He divided his soldiers into pieces and appeased them to make plans after arriving in Jiangnan. In fact, these Huainan troops were very loyal, and when Wang Shichong called again, they quickly gathered 20,000 elite soldiers, and Wang Shichong took this as the foundation to easily capture Shen Lun and control the overall situation.

But what made Wang Shichong depressed was that Liang Yanniang's girl charmed the guards and soldiers, bribed his men, easily escaped his control, and disappeared. After Wang Shichong was defeated, in fact, he couldn't wait to cut Liang Yanniang with a thousand knives, the people of Taiping Dao have always said that they know the heavenly opportunity, but they deceived the dead and did not pay for their lives, Wang Shichong has figured out in these words, and he is not the only one who is bewitched by Taiping Dao!

And Taiping Dao doesn't know what the heavenly machine is! Those who believe in the prophecy of Taiping Dao are either stupid or crazy!

He doesn't believe in the so-called heavenly machine now, if he can see Liang Yanniang, he just wants to slaughter her and eat meat. The current Wang Shichong only trusts his clan relatives and a group of subordinates, and he wants to rely on his own mind to re-open a territory.

In these forbearances, Wang Shichong was not in a hurry to merge with the group of thieves, but spent a lot of effort to win over people around the three thieves and install undercover agents, so that he could easily defeat the three thieves and enter Yangzhou.

His strategy has proven to be extremely successful so far!

A few days after entering Yangzhou, he couldn't wait to be the emperor, not because of arrogance, but also because of the unspeakable hidden.

Because at the moment, he is the weakest power, if he wants to make his subordinates sell their lives, there is only one way to be crowned emperor and rewarded, anyway, these official positions don't cost him a penny, just open his mouth. Guo Shancai, Yang Gongqing, Le Botong and others were all named generals by him, Wang Xuanying was made the crown prince by him, and his brother Wang Shiyun, Wang Shiwei, nephews Wang Honglie, Wang Xingben, Wang Tai and others, the king of the king, the prince of the prince.

Now that everyone has suddenly become officials, it is as if they have been beaten with chicken blood for a while, and they are all high-spirited, and they feel that there is nothing to do in the world.

At this time, Wang Shichong suddenly received a secret letter, took a look, his face was gloomy, and he slapped the table heavily.

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what the news was, so Wang Shichong said for a long time: "This Du Fuwei, I don't know what to do!" ”

Wang Xuanying asked, "Father, I don't know what happened to Du Fuwei?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed, looked around at the ministers and said: "I originally intended to recover Du Fuwei, and after going down to Yangzhou, I contacted him as soon as possible, and I wanted to give him a big official title." ”

"Did he refuse?" Wang Xuanying asked.

"I heard about him...... With his righteous son Wang Xiong's birthday, he actually took refuge in the Eastern Capital! Wang Shichong said hatefully.

Everyone was silent, and their faces changed slightly. There are disputes in the world, and the thieves are all arrogant people, and they rarely take refuge in others unless they have to do so. But even if he takes refuge in others, if he is not killed by his opponent, or if he wants to plot against his opponent, Zhai Rang of Wagang will take refuge in the Eastern Capital, which can be said to be a last resort, but Du Fuwei definitely has the ability to fight again, and there can be 100,000 Jianghuai troops under his command, such a person suddenly took refuge in Xiao Buyi in the Eastern Capital, does this mean that the disputes in the world have reached a turning stage?

Could it be that in Du Fuwei's eyes, it is useless to fight in vain, and there is only one way left to retreat early and return to Xiao Buyi?

Everyone had complicated thoughts and associations, but they didn't notice that Wang Shichong's face was pale, and he muttered to himself, "Du Fuwei, you don't want to give you face, do you really think that Xiao Buyi is your life-saving straw?" I'm only afraid that when you arrive in the Eastern Capital, you will be killed! ”

**

Spring flowers are blooming, and the river is murmuring.

After a bitter cold winter, the spring of the new year seems to have come a little early. Everything in the eastern capital has recovered, the government is harmonious, and the faces of the people on the street are filled with peaceful smiles.

They have gone through too many hardships, and now, they have finally passed some peaceful days.

Today's Eastern Capital, not only the largest city in the Central Plains, with a population of more than one million, but also admired by the four seas, merchants from all over the world shuttle back and forth, and some foreign merchants even step on the ice of early spring, against the residual east wind, come to trade early. Of course, there are also people who have harvested a rich winter and quietly leave the Eastern Capital, but before leaving, they can't help but look back, looking forward to the next arrival.

The only thing that makes them feel a little fly in the ointment is that the eastern capital is at war with Hebei, and on that line, there are few soldiers and murderous spirits, but it is extremely dangerous, and Hebei can't pass through it now!

Fortunately, by now, most of the Central Plains has approached tranquility, and what is reassuring is that the king of Xiliang drove his own expedition, although he was temporarily unable to repel the invading Hebei army, but Dou Jiande was also unable to go further. Today's main battlefields are more concentrated near Liyang, Dongping, and Changping, and the first wave of attack frenzy of the Hebei Army has been successfully contained by the King of Western Liang.

This reminds many people of the original battle of the Eastern Capital, at that time Li Mi was also violent, the soldiers were in the city, but under the defense of the King of Western Liang, the Wagang army was stalemate, and soon collapsed, judging from the current situation, the Hebei army is likely to repeat the mistakes of the past.

More people believe that when they come again, the Great Sui will be able to restore the peace and security of the country and the people when Yang Jian was there!

They were glad that the eastern capital was guarded by the king of Western Liang, and they believed that since the king of Western Liang could turn the eastern capital into the first trading capital in the world, what else could not be done?

However, Xiao Buyi knew that he hadn't actually done much, not so much that he would change the eastern capital, but that he would restore the eastern capital to its old outlook.

Xiao Buyi is a modern person, so he attaches great importance to trade, knowing that the country is rich, the people can be happy, and he knows that the country is rich in order to withstand the toss. He vigorously developed trade, not only with the border areas and Bashu, but also with overseas and grasslands.

No matter where people are, there are only a few who like to fight, and Xiao Buyi certainly understands this. Yang Guang's industry for more than ten years, in fact, also heavy trade, many channels, are Yang Guang single-handed, but Yang Guang has always put face first, today's Xiao Buyi, but to correct this deviation, the foundation of the Eastern Capital is still there, the conquest is not there, glowing with unprecedented vitality, with an astonishing speed of rapid development!

Sitting on the top of the main hall, Xiao Buyi and the ministers finished discussing business matters, and saw the ministers with lost or excited expressions, Xiao Buyi smiled slightly.

In the past, the discussion of this kind of thing could not be put on the table at all, because when would the gate lord clan look down on businessmen? But the eastern capital has been fighting all year round, in order to save expenses, the previous few years have been reduced to the people's salary, after several years of development, everyone's income has gradually returned to the original state.

Everyone finally understood the importance of commerce and trade, and the promotion and development of trade were not as resistant as before, so although the war seemed to be extremely destructive, sometimes it would have an unexpected effect if it was not broken or established.

The gate valve level was originally deep-rooted, but after Yang Guang's wanton weakening, and then after the war, the impact on the temple was far less than before, of course, this phenomenon was only limited to the eastern capital of Xindu, as for the side of Guanlong, it was still deep-rooted.

Yang Guang can be said to be a great crime to people in the world, but for Xiao Buyi, he is a very good person.

At least the canals, systems, systems, and economy and trade are all infamous by Yang Guang, and Xiao Buyi has achieved unprecedented development in the Great Sui on these basis, and has also won the praise of hundreds of officials in the eastern capital and the people of the world.

When Xiao Buyi summed up these truths, he listened to the ministers' performances.

The ministers of the palace stepped forward in order, and Du Cai of Henan Dao Xingtai played, "Qiyu Xiliang King, Henan has been fighting for many years, the population is gradually decreasing, and there are too many counties, and there are places that are not more than 100 miles apart, but there are several counties; There are places where household registration is scarce, but it is under the jurisdiction of two counties. As a result, there are many redundant county officials, the number of errand officers has increased exponentially, state expenditures have increased, and the income from rents and transfers has decreased year by year. ”

Xiao Buyi asked, "What about your suggestion?" ”

Du Cai said: "In the past, when Emperor Wen was here, he retained important official positions and abolished idle positions, merged small counties, and asked King Xiliang to abolish counties as states to save expenses. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "The suggestion is good, but the stakes are very high, first ask Du Xingtai to report the details of the household registration of each county to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and let me consider the rest before replying." ”

Du Cai retreated respectfully, slightly happy in his heart, secretly thinking that Xiao Buyi and Emperor Wen seemed to be the blessing of the people and the joy of the country.

Xue Huaien, a waiter of the Criminal Department, stepped forward and said: "King Qi Xiliang, according to your instructions, Weichen and Lord Shangshuyu of the Ministry of Rites have reformulated the old law, and then abolished 36 articles for capital crimes, 79 articles for miscarriage crimes, and 512 articles for crimes such as imprisonment and rods, and only determined to retain a total of 480 articles on punishment, a total of 12 volumes, and please ask the King of Xiliang to take a look." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Several adults have worked hard, and the law order can be handed over to the Ministry of Men for review first." ”

Xue Huaien stepped back in response, and many officials stepped forward to play, but many things were trivial. Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only listen to the surname patiently, he had heard that Yang Guang, a workaholic, only slept for one or two hours a day, and he still didn't believe it, it can be seen that so many people play, if they listen to it one by one, the day will pass quickly, and it is really not easy to be a good emperor. This is just listening, not including the review of the cantata, if it is reviewed, I am afraid that it will take a long time.

However, he also fought all year round, not every early dynasty, so a lot of things have accumulated.

Xiao Buyi was in power, and the ministers were cautious, so everything was announced, and after another half an hour, Ma Zhou, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, came forward.

Ma Zhoude Xiao Buyi was promoted, originally the record of Menxia Province, but after several years of testing, his achievements are remarkable, and he has been repeatedly promoted by Xiao Buyi and promoted to the Yellow Gate Squire, which can be said to be an important minister of the imperial court.

Xiao Buyi is now promoting people, eclectic, anyway, it is ready to use, the less resistance of the gate valve, the faster the development of the Eastern Capital.

Ma Zhou stepped forward and said: "King Qixiliang, I heard that the lord of the ancient sage is not comparable to Tang Yao and Yu Shun. Yu Shun appointed Yu, Ji, Qi, Gaotao, and Boyi to handle government affairs, while Tang Yao often consulted the princes in charge of the Quartet for advice on how to govern the country. This is the so-called hard work to seek talents, easy to manage things. Recently, Weichen saw that the king of Xiliang was on an expedition, and he had to pay attention to the way to govern the country and the people, which was too hard. ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "Ma Shilang is reasonable, I don't know what solution you have?" ”

Others saw him high and glorious, but they didn't know that he was almost cut and used in a day, and he was miserable. The two things of conquest and governing the country can be said to occupy a lot of his time, but the most fatal point is that these things seem to have no end.

Ma Zhouyu said that Xiao Buyi's suffering could be said to be extremely concerned about him, and his eyes were outstanding.

Listening to Xiao Buyi's inquiry, Ma Zhou said respectfully: "Weichen didn't dare to say anything about the solution, but at the beginning, the Eastern Capital was initially decided, and a hundred wastes were waiting to be revived, and the ministers of the hundred officials were only afraid of being convicted, and they did not dare to decide themselves in case of trouble, so they had to ask the King of Xiliang to adjudicate." There were too many requests, so that the construction, expenditure and other matters also had to be handled by the king of Xiliang. In this way, the king of Xiliang must bow down to himself, the whole heart is tired, the cycle goes back and forth, and the efficiency of the court affairs is low, and the minister only asks the king of Xiliang to make a decree to distinguish the importance of the affairs, if it is a major event of the state of the country, it is naturally decided by the king of Xiliang, and the rest of the trivial matters can be decided by the head of the department. In this way, the subordinates do not have to ask for everything, and the king of Xiliang does not have to bow down to everything. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and nodded: "What Ma Shilang said is very true, in fact, now that everything in the Eastern Capital has entered the right path, it is enough to follow the steps. From now on, the priorities will be set by Ma Shilang, and if there is a start in the future, it will be classified into categories, and trivial matters can be handled by the various ministries at their discretion, and there is no need to give it again, as long as it is handled properly, the king will not blame, and there will be a reward. ”

The civil and military officials said in unison: "The ministers obey the order." ”

After Xiao Buyi finished handling political affairs, he ordered the hundred officials to retreat from the court, but left Lu Chu, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji and others to discuss the matter of dealing with the Hebei army.

Although the Hebei army was on the offensive fiercely, it was obviously the first time to try it last winter, and the Western Liang army was strictly defended, and the Hebei army was still in the hands of the Western Liang army in addition to breaking through the county towns of several counties.

Dou Jiande, as Xu Shiji expected, is virtual and real, but he also has weaknesses, that is, his troops are scattered, and he can't attack one place with all his heart. Dongping fought hard, Zhang Zhenzhou, Qin Shubao, and Shi Danai firmly held Dongping, Xu Yuanlang attacked several times, but he lost his troops and lost his generals, Cheng Biting Jin suddenly killed and killed Xu Yuanlang's general Li Gongyi!

Cheng Yanjin led the team to attack Langxie, Xu Yuanlang saw through Xiao Buyi's intentions and did not move. Cheng bites more than 1,000 iron horses, can only break some small county seats, and can not break through the big city of Langxi. But although the siege is not possible, the surprise attack is very effective. He suddenly killed and gave Xu Yuanlang a stick, Zhang Zhenzhou cooperated to kill, and the Xu family army was defeated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Yuanlang hurriedly withdrew, and stationed troops in the city, there were many generals under him, but they could be knocked one by Xiao Buyi in the east and one in the west.

Liu Heimin originally attacked Zhang Zhenzhou's back, but he didn't expect that Pei Xingyan led the cavalry to raid his back. Pei Xingyan left with one blow, and the Hebei army suffered a lot of losses, and Liu Heimin was worried in his heart from then on, and he did not dare to attack the city recklessly.

All the generals gathered in Dongping, a fierce battle, and each other was damaged. Xiao Buyi sent five generals, three internal and two external, involving the Xu Jiajun and the Hebei Army, and the stalemate lasted until the early spring. And Li Tang still did not send troops after all.

It's not that Li Yuan is soft-hearted, but because Li Yuan is already taking care of himself! According to the latest battle situation in Hedong, Wei Chigong sent a partial general Huang Ziying to use the strategy of luring the enemy, several times. Huoyi's guards Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen were overwhelmed, and the whole army pursued, Wei Chigong ambushed all his troops, defeated Li Zhongwen, beheaded Jiang Baoyi, and Li Tangtian fell into the Mouse Valley!
