Wang Xu was killed, Huang Chao chose to escape, all this is a great thing for the Iron Army, almost no effort was spent, the Iron Blood Army occupied Shenzhou, Anzhou, Guangzhou, Huangzhou and Chuzhou, on the surface, this is the best situation, but unfortunately Li Rupei does not see it this way, even Gao Chibang and Huang Biao and others do not see it this way.

Two days after Gao Chibang's letter was sent, Li Rupei rushed to Huangzhou with his own soldiers and special forces.

The pro-soldiers follow at all times, and the special forces also follow, the focus is to protect Li Rupei's safety, in fact, it is not appropriate to do this in Huainan Province, after all, this is not a place controlled by the iron-blooded army, and any situation may occur, but the matter is urgent, and Li Rupei can't manage it so much.

Gao Chibang and Huang Biao did not take action, even if they pursued, they did not know the specific goal, Huang Chao is used to mobile combat, and is familiar with the terrain, not only can the Iron Blood Army not be able to pursue Huang Chao's army, but also may encounter an ambush in the process of pursuit, resulting in unnecessary losses.

For two days and two nights, Li Rupei was almost in a hurry, and when he arrived in Huangzhou, his face was pale, and his eyes were dark and dark, and he looked extremely tired.

Gao Chibang and Huang Biao didn't think about it and begged Li Rupei to take a rest, but Li Rupei refused.

Gao Chibang reported the situation since he entered Anzhou, and when he spoke, his tone was a little low, and he seemed very annoyed and embarrassed, after all, he was the commander of the iron-blooded army along the way.

After Gao Chibang finished speaking, Huang Biao did not add.

After thinking for a while, Li Rupei quickly spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

"Huang Chao made such a choice, in fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago, this can't be all blamed on you, it is also a thoughtful time, when he was in Shenzhou. The Predator defeated Huang Chao's sneak attack, and it should be said that Huang Chao quickly got the news, and after weighing it, it was reasonable for Huang Chao to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with the Predator. ”

Li Rupei's comfort made Gao Chibang even more ashamed.

"Lord Wang, this is all a mistake in the judgment of his subordinates, and he has been delayed a lot of time in Anzhou, and his subordinates should be held responsible."

Li Rupei shook his head lightly and changed the topic.

"General Gao. General Huang, what do you think the Predators should do next? ”

Li Rupei suddenly raised this question, indicating that the previous matter had been revealed, and Gao Chibang and Huang Biao naturally understood.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates believe that the Iron Blood Army should consolidate the occupied Shenzhou, Anzhou, Chuzhou, Gwangju and Huangzhou and other places next, Huangchao's influence here still exists, and the role of the government is not great, this kind of situation is not normal."

"General Huang. What do you think. ”

"The subordinates agree with the opinion of the high school protectors."

Li Rupei shook his head slightly.

"Halfway through what you said, pacifying the situation in Huangzhou and other places is something that Cui Ge Lao and them consider, and the focus is on the construction of people's livelihood. You must know that this is Huainan Road, not Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road. A certain has just received news that Bi Shiduo has been appointed as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, so he came. The iron-blooded army went deep into Huainan Province to calm the situation, and since the task was completed, should it be withdrawn? ”

As soon as Li Rupei finished speaking, the impatient Huang Biao immediately spoke.

"How can this be done, the 100,000 army in Yangzhou, what did they do earlier, there are many riots in the south, Wang Xu is just a butcher, he can cause such a big turmoil, not to mention other rebels, this is obviously the indulgence of Gao Yu and Bi Shiduo, the iron-blooded army went deep into Huainan Province to help quell the riots, and it is impossible to withdraw easily."

After finishing speaking, Huang Biao thought that he had mentioned Gao Xiao, looked at Gao Chibang attentively, and found that Gao Chibang had no expression on his face.

After Huang Biao finished speaking, Gao Chibang also spoke.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates think that what General Huang said is correct, and the Iron and Blood Army cannot be withdrawn."

Li Rupei's face finally showed a smile.

"Very good, you have this kind of understanding, that's enough, the Iron Blood Army will not withdraw, a certain has already written a letter to Cui Ge Lao, sending officials from Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road to Huainan Road, the officials in these places are basically appointed by Huang Chao, the original officials are dead and fleeing, there is not much left, the first thing that needs stability is the government, and then you can do other things, as for the Iron Army, there are bigger things to do."

"There may be people in the court who will impeach a certain person, it doesn't matter, if a certain does things according to the requirements of the imperial court, there will be no today's situation, it doesn't matter if there is criticism outside, the key is that there is a need for unity internally, and people need to be unanimous."

"Bi Shiduo was appointed as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, the consciousness of protecting the territory must exist, the 100,000 troops in Yangzhou are not vegetarians, presumably at this time, Bi Shiduo will definitely play a fold to the imperial court, asking the iron-blooded army to withdraw from Huainan Road, this back and forth takes time, and the holy decree of the imperial court also needs time to Xiangyang, and a certain must make full use of this time."

"The 50,000 iron-blooded soldiers who entered Huainan Road, don't evacuate for the time being, the grain and grass needed can be transported from the direction of Suizhou, in case Bi Shiduo is dizzy and launches an attack on a large scale, then he will let him, the Huainan Jiedu envoy, lose his troops and take the initiative to resign to the imperial court, and he will not care whether he is the Huainan Jiedu envoy or not."

"The next task is to occupy all the cities, the action must be very fast, this does not require much fighting, once the Huangchao army withdraws, the officials in the city, there will be panic, I am afraid that some officials have followed and fled, in this case, those small gangsters, will jump out to make trouble, exploit the people, loot money, every time the iron-blooded army occupies a city, the first to hit is those who take advantage of the fire to rob."

"The officers and men of the iron-blooded army led by Zhu Wen are responsible for controlling Shenzhou and Anzhou, and you are responsible for controlling Chuzhou, Guangzhou, Huangzhou and other places.

Li Rupei had just finished arranging, and Gao Chibang and Huang Biao opposed it at the same time, but they were not against Li Rupei's arrangement.

"Since the prince assigns the task to his subordinates, these things will be completed by his subordinates, and the officials sent by Cui Ge Lao will also arrive soon, the prince does not need to sit in Huangzhou, after all, this is Huainan Road, Yangzhou still has 100,000 troops, I don't know what kind of action will be taken, if the prince sits in Huangzhou, it will make everyone uneasy, and his subordinates will not be able to occupy the city with peace of mind."

Huang Biao said more directly.

"If the prince is sitting in Huangzhou, his subordinates must also follow him, if the prince is in danger, his subordinates will not be able to escape the blame."

Both of them objected, and Li Rupei thought for a moment and finally nodded.

He knows very well that he is sitting in Huangzhou, and the impact on everyone is indeed great, everyone is panicked when doing things, thinking about Huangzhou Prefecture at any time, and the slightest disturbance will be desperately assembled towards Huangzhou Prefecture, and if Bi Shiduo knows this news, he will definitely launch a large-scale attack with Huangzhou Prefecture as the center.

"Okay, go back to Xiangyang first, but you remember that the situation in these places must be stabilized in the shortest possible time, and the people must be stabilized, the people are very simple, as long as their lives are not disturbed, there will be no drastic measures, one thing must be pointed out in particular, once the officials of Shannan East Province and Shannan West Province arrive, after taking control of the government, the Iron Blood Army will not be able to continue to interfere in local affairs."

The specific tasks are clear, and the next step is to formulate a specific action plan, Li Rupei's place, Huangzhou and Gwangju should be the focus, especially Gwangju, Wang Xu rebelled in Gwangju, causing great harm to the people and the gentry and wealthy households, after the iron-blooded army entered the city, the first task was to pacify the people, and take out some food when necessary to relieve the people.

After a day's rest, Li Rupei decided to return to Xiangyang.

He believed that Gao Chibang, Huang Biao, Zhu Wen and others would be able to handle everything well, and after Cui Anqian received the letter, he would definitely organize officials to enter these places as soon as possible and start to deal with local affairs.

When Li Rupei left Huangzhou, Gao Chibang insisted on sending 5,000 soldiers to follow Li Rupei's side, Li Rupei only rushed from Gwangju to Huangzhou with a few hundred people, which was already taking a huge risk, and he must not take risks in the future.

Li Rupei did not refuse, he didn't want accidents, and the current good situation was completely supported by him.

On the way back, Li Rupei was not in a hurry, he was not walking fast, and he had to carefully inquire about the living conditions of the people everywhere he went, although Huang Chao had changed a lot of officials, but the elders, Li Zheng and Jia Shou in the villages and towns had not been replaced, and Huang Chao could not have so much energy to care, but Li Rupei was most concerned about these elders, Li Zheng and Jia Shou.

The role played by his hand was huge, and many elders, Li Zheng and Jiashou expressed their loyalty in front of him, and the situation in the villages and towns was soon stabilized, and the people returned to their homes one after another.

In this process, Li Rupei did not forget to take out some food to relieve the urgent need of those people who lacked food.

In fact, these days, the people are also observing the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army who have entered their own territory, and they deeply feel that wherever the Iron Blood Army goes, there is no crime in the autumn, and they also take out food to fund the farmers in need, which is unprecedented.

From the masses, to the masses, this is a classic discourse summed up after a thousand years, how can Li Rupei not understand that he fully implemented this line of thought, constantly communicated with the people, and won the approval of the people, this seemingly unrelated action has won the support of the people to the maximum extent, and has made immeasurable contributions to the stability of the place.

Being able to meet the prince and talk to the prince on his knees is something that those elders, Li Zheng and Jiashou can't imagine, and it is also something that they are very proud of.

Later, Cui Anqian and others recognized Li Rupei's approach and did it in accordance with these requirements. (To be continued......)
