Wangchengpo is very close to Luoyang City, everything that happens on the battlefield is also what everyone in Luoyang City cares about, Liu Yunzhang has already sent out the force to patrol and catch heads, pay attention to the development of the battle situation, but this time he made up his mind, even if the iron-blooded army failed, he would not open the city gate and surrender, it was a big deal.

The news of the victory of the Iron Blood Army soon spread to Luoyang City.

The scene of the corpses killed by the army under the command of Huang Chao began to spread everywhere in Luoyang City, the battle has not completely ended, Luoyang City has begun to boil, firecrackers are being set off everywhere in the city, it was already in the month of La, according to the previous rules, every household is preparing New Year's goods, but this year's situation is a little special, many people do not have the heart to prepare New Year's goods, but there are still firecrackers.

Liu Yunzhang was very anxious, looking forward to the early end of the battle, and he was going to meet Li Rupei, the king of Yi.

Liu Yunzhang knew very well that he made the decision to open the city gate and surrender, although it was said that because of the help of the Iron and Blood Army, this matter did not really happen, but the imperial court will soon know, and when the time comes, he will stay in the eastern capital, and it will be the end.

If he doesn't stay in the eastern capital, Liu Yunzhang has some regrets and regrets, but this is not a fatal blow, he has been mixed in officialdom all his life, and there is no good result in the end, he has seen too many deceits, even the emperor is muddy, and it is a good thing for such a court to leave early.

However, Liu Yunzhang thought of Li Rupei, and he wanted to follow Li Rupei to do things.

Not to mention Li Rupei's other aspects, let's just say that in this battle, Huang Chao led an army of tens of thousands, and anyone who heard this scale would feel scared, but Li Rupei was not nervous at all, and led the iron-blooded army to defeat Huang Chao, and the situation of the defeat of Huang Chao's army and the corpses killed all over the battlefield was definitely not made up, this was seen by the patrol with his own eyes.

Besides, Li Rupei knows that he has written a twist and turn, and has always remembered the lessons of the country's nine breaks and the people's eight hardships, and must be very attentive, to talk about some situations in Shannan West Road, he has also faintly heard that the people there are still living a good life, at least at present, there are no escapees, and there is no one who wants to join the ranks of the exiles, Li Rupei pays great attention to the things that keep the people fed and clothed, this is the right way.

To be able to display his ambitions under Li Rupei, Liu Yunzhang is very happy.

But it depends on Li Rupei's attitude, after all, he Liu Yunzhang once made an unbearable decision, and this decision was enough for Li Rupei to reject him.

Liu Yunzhang made a decision, once Li Rupei agreed to his request, he immediately wrote a resignation to the imperial court, this matter is much better for himself, anyway, there is no hope of protecting the position left behind in the eastern capital.

The scouts of the Iron Blood Army soon came to Luoyang City and informed them that the Huangchao army had been defeated and that the eastern capital of Luoyang was safe.

Liu Yunzhang immediately went to visit Li Rupei's envoy Xie Yuxin.

Liu Yunzhang made a request to go to the battlefield to see it in person, and at the same time to meet the prince, Xie Yuxin did not refuse, and promised to take Liu Yunzhang with him to meet Li Rupei.

At the same time, there were many people who went to the place where Xie Yuxin was stationed, there were officials from Luoyang City, scholars, and merchants, and the two generals of the Shence Army were the last to arrive, and they were lucky, Luoyang City was saved, their task was completed, and they could return to the capital immediately and continue to live the life of a superior person.

There were more than 30 people who followed Xie Yuxin to Wangchengpo.

The crowd saw the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned.

That kind of bloody scene shocked many people.

Xie Yuxin entered the Zhongjun tent first, and the rest of the people were waiting outside, but a few minutes later, Qin Erhei walked out of the Zhongjun tent and invited everyone in.

Li Rupei, who everyone saw, was still smiling.

"You are here so soon, it is a very unexpected thing, Huang Chao suffered a fiasco this time, and he did not dare to continue to attack Luoyang City, the mission of the Iron Blood Army was completed, and after resting for a day or two again, he would also return to Liangzhou, this time he received the strong support of Liu Gong and your strong assistance, I am deeply grateful."

After Li Rupei's words were finished, the Chinese military tent was very quiet.

No one thought that after the battle, Li Rupei would lead the army out of Luoyang City, and he didn't even enter Luoyang City to take a look, it shouldn't be like this, Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army kept Luoyang City, as the victor, at least go to Luoyang City to have a look, show their majesty, not to mention reaching out to ask for things, that's normal.

But what people said was so refreshing, they rested in Wangchengpo for two days, and then they were going back to Liangzhou.

Liu Yunzhang looked at everyone and spoke.

"The prince led the army this time, ran thousands of miles to save Luoyang City, and made great achievements, if so, he left Luoyang City, you and his subordinates are uneasy, or want to invite the prince to Luoyang City to stay for a few days, and his subordinates can express their gratitude."

After Liu Yunzhang's words were spoken, the rest of the people echoed one after another, imploring Li Rupei to go to Luoyang City to have a look, especially a few businessmen, who had their own thoughts.

Li Rupei smiled.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, but a certain has already made a decision, this time the iron-blooded army conquered the Huangchao army, the loss is still a little large, and you need to return to Liangzhou to rest, and then you need to lead the iron-blooded army to help Luoyang, but also for the world of the Tang Dynasty, a certain is a descendant of the royal family, should make this effort, a certain will not go to Luoyang City, so as not to add trouble to you, two days later, the iron-blooded army will return home, leave Luoyang, and return to Liangzhou."

"There are two things, please Liu Gong to worry about it, the first is to bury the corpses, the remains of the soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army, a certain will all be brought back to Liangzhou, the remains of the soldiers under Huang Chao, burned and buried on the spot, there are many corpses, the Iron Blood Army is difficult to deal with, and I also ask Liu Gong to help, in addition to the prisoners imprisoned in Luoyang City, I am going to take them back to Liangzhou, and I also ask Liu Gong to arrange them and escort them all tomorrow."

This time, Li Rupei arranged a banquet to entertain everyone, anyway, last time everyone provided a lot of grain and grass, military supplies and gold and silver treasures, Li Rupei still needs to be thanked.

The loss of soldiers in this battle is close to 5,000 soldiers, which can be described as a heavy loss, recruiting sergeants is a must, and the source is also very clear, that is, among the nearly 30,000 captives captured, these captives are all elite sergeants under the command of Huang Chao, with good combat effectiveness, joining the iron-blooded army, as long as they have undergone rigorous training, they will definitely be able to become brave sergeants.

These things are all handed over to Gao Chibang, and it can be completed.

Li Rupei's original meaning, the Iron Blood Army can maintain the scale of 30,000 people, but now it seems that it is far from enough, Huang Chao has not yet suffered a devastating blow, the northern Jiedu makes the tiger eye, each of them is not weak, and there are more than 100,000 troops under Gao Yu in the south, these may be potential opponents of the Iron Blood Army.

The expansion of the army means that the expenditure increases, Li Rupei does not want to blindly ensure the expenditure of the army, ignoring other aspects, he needs to take care of both ends, as for the method, he can think of the talents who will cross after a thousand years, such a method is not in vain.

When the banquet was underway, Liu Yunzhang toasted Li Rupei and spoke in a low voice.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have some ideas, can I ask Lord Wang to take a step to speak."

Li Rupei looked at Liu Yunzhang and vaguely understood something, he nodded and walked to the side with Liu Yunzhang.

"The subordinates want to follow the prince's side, if the prince can afford his subordinates, the subordinates must do their best, the subordinates are people with stains, if the prince looks down on his subordinates, the subordinates have nothing to say."

"Liu Gong is willing to go to Liangzhou, a certain will definitely welcome it, and there are many aspects that need to rely on Liu Gong."

Liu Yunzhang almost knelt down excitedly, he didn't expect Li Rupei to say that.

"The subordinates will prepare today, and the day after tomorrow they will go to Liangzhou with the prince, and the subordinates have already written the memoranda, resigned from the post of staying in the eastern capital, and followed the prince."

Several businessmen were not as bold as Liu Yunzhang, and they didn't dare to ask to talk to Li Rupei in private, but when they toasted, their eyes revealed their thoughts.

After the banquet, several businessmen were invited to the Chinese military tent.

"If you have anything to say, you can open up here."

Several businessmen looked at Li Rupei and knelt down at the same time, and one of them spoke.

"Everyone has discussed, and they want to follow the prince to Liangzhou, and please don't dislike the prince."

"Very good, you go to Liangzhou, a certain welcome, but a certain suggestion, Luoyang is the eastern capital, but also a place where businessmen gather, you still don't want to move out of Luoyang completely, you can leave a store here, move the headquarters to Liangzhou, a certain is warmly welcomed, but you also have to know that the government in Shannan West Road, and the businessman, is an interdependent relationship, the government is responsible for protecting the safety of the businessman, so that you can do business and make money with peace of mind, but you also have to pay taxes truthfully, so that the government can feed the iron army."

Several businessmen nodded at the same time.

"Since you agree, you can send a representative to Liangzhou, and there will be a special person to discuss specific matters with you, a certain person who does what he says, the request that should be put forward is clearly put forward, and you are the same, if there is any request, after consultation between the two sides, a consensus is the best."

Several businessmen were a little stunned, they didn't expect Li Rupei to say this, it was like the government negotiating with them, this kind of thing was too new.

A day later, more than 10,000 captives were escorted to Wangchengpo.

The Predators were also ready, packed everything and ready to go.

Gao Chibang, Huang Biao and others are very busy, they have begun to screen nearly 30,000 captured prisoners, to see which people can be absorbed into the Iron and Blood Army, as for the unsuitable candidates, or according to the old way, the officers are all beheaded, and the rest of the people are partly let go, and some are enriched into the patrol room, responsible for maintaining local law and order.
