The prestige of Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army is very big in the capital, and all the ministers of the Chinese military department of the DPRK know that many clan towns in the north pay attention to the situation in the Great Tang all the time, and more or less know Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army, but the Iron Blood Army is too far away from them, and they are concerned and concerned in their spare time, and they do not take it to heart.

After the Iron Blood Army occupied Shannan East Road, Huainan Jiedu made Gao Biao begin to notice Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army.

Gao Biao is very arrogant, he is one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and has fought many famous battles, the most famous is to surrender the rebellious Nanzhao, and become a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the fight against the Huangchao army, Gao Biao blindly avoided and disobeyed the emperor's holy decree, his performance made the court angry, and the relationship with Tian Lingzi was not good, so he was removed from the positions of the commander of the marching army of all roads and the salt and iron transport envoy, leaving only the post of Huainan Jiedu envoy, but Gao Biao has an army of 100,000 people, sitting in Huainan, separating one side, and can be said to be the boss of the south.

Gao Biao didn't care about Li Rupei and the Iron Army, he lived in Huainan, after Lu Xian's suicide, his contact with the capital was almost cut off, and he didn't know what happened in the imperial court, let alone know too much about Li Rupei and the Iron Army, but after Huang Chao led the remnants of the army to enter Huainan, Gao Biao was quite a headache.

Gao Biao originally planned to take the opportunity to exterminate Huangchao when it entered a trough, but unfortunately he accidentally discovered that Huangchao was inextricably linked with Liu Ziheng, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, which made him feel nervous. Liu Ziheng has the support of Tian Lingzi in the court, and in that case, he will have no place to stand.

Because of this reason, Gao Biao gave up the idea of exterminating the Yellow Nest, and at the same time, he took advantage of this reason to complain to the imperial court and ask for military salaries, and the imperial court actually allocated military salaries several times, which made Gao Biao taste the sweetness again, and his main thoughts were on expanding his own strength and asking the imperial court for money. He even thought that if the Yellow Nest was completely exterminated, wouldn't there be no reason to ask for money.

Of course, it is not so easy to ask for money, Gao Biao knows what some people in the court think, so he emphasized in the twists and turns that he fought with Huang Chao, so that Huang Chao stayed in Huainan Road, if the court is unwilling to allocate military salaries, then he will not be able to fight with Huang Chao. At some point, the Yellow Nest will attack north.

It is precisely because of the twists and turns that he hit the vital point of some people, so Gao Biao can always get military salaries.

As for the development of Huangchao in Anju and Huangzhou in Huainan Province, the team began to grow again. Gao Yu didn't care about it, even if he cared about such a thing, it would be useless, unless he sent troops to exterminate it.

Two months after the Iron Army occupied Xiangyang, Gao Biao learned the news. At this time, Gao Yu's main mind was on divination, almost to the point of madness.

Gao Biao's three main generals were Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi. are all the generals under the command of Huang Chao in the past, and Gao Biao trusts Bi Shiduo the most, and almost all the affairs in the army are entrusted to Bi Shiduo.

After learning that the Iron Blood Army occupied Xiangyang, Bi Shiduo and others still had a certain sober understanding, they reported to Gao Biao, implored Gao Biao to pay attention to the Iron Army, and at the same time got in touch with Li Rupei to have a good relationship, but unfortunately Gao Biao did not put Li Rupei in his eyes, in his opinion, Li Rupei was only able to succeed with the help of the identity of the Li Tang clan, as for the legendary stories about Li Rupei that circulated among the people, most of them were made up, so they categorically rejected the request made by Bi Shiduo and others.

After Gao Chibang took office as the protector of the Iron and Blood Army, he was actually in charge of the military affairs of the Iron Army, and after soliciting Li Rupei's opinion, Gao Chibang took the initiative to write a letter to Gao Biao, and the meaning of the letter was also very clear, reminding Gao Biao to pay attention to the army of Huang Chao.

Gao Chibang decided to write this letter, but also has a certain selfishness, after all, he and Gao Biao have an unusual relationship, Li Rupei also understands this meaning, Gao Biao has an army of 100,000, is a large force, under the current situation, there is no need for the Iron Army to conflict with Gao Biao's army, so he agreed to Gao Chibang to write a letter.

Li Rupei and Gao Chibang would not have thought that this letter did not play a good role, but caused Gao Biao's arrogance.

When Gao Biao celebrated the New Year on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, he received a handwritten letter from Gao Chibang.

After reading the letter, Gao Yu's face showed a look of disdain.

When Bi Shiduo entered the house, the expression on Gao Yu's face was still disdain and anger.

It has been three years since Bi Shiduo surrendered to Gao Biao, because of his active thinking, after Zhang Luan's death, Gao Biao's deep trust, at this time, Bi Shiduo is still very grateful for Gao Biao's trust, and spares no effort to help Gao Biao consolidate his position, even Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi and others sometimes show a little dissatisfaction, Bi Shiduo also helped to explain, asking everyone to be loyal to Gao Biao, after all, their current status is given by Gao Biao.

"Bi Shiduo, you came just in time, Gao Chibang of the Iron and Blood Army has sent a letter, this must be Li Rupei's meaning, the letter actually asks someone to pay attention to Huang Chao, does he Li Rupei still want to order a certain to exterminate Huang Chao, it is really a yellow-haired child, I don't know how serious."

Bi Shiduo paused for a moment, after all, Li Rupei is the prince, how should such words appear in Gao Biao's mouth, how should it be, after all, Bi Shiduo knows more about the situation outside, and he still knows the courage of the Iron Army, at least the Iron Blood Army defeated Huang Chao in Luoyang, Huang Kuo, Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang under Huang Chao were all killed under the command of the Iron Blood Army, Zhu Wen also surrendered to the Iron Blood Army, the ability of these people, Bi Shiduo is very clear.

"Why is the marshal so angry, the Iron Blood Army has a letter, just ignore it."

"Hmph, a certain has experienced countless battles of all sizes, and a small iron-blooded army, but with a few victories, he has shown off his might in front of a certain person, what kind of system has it become, this time a certain must reply to the letter, this Gao Chibang, it is really a forgetting righteousness."

Bi Shiduo didn't know who Gao Chibang was, but Gao Biao said so, and he also vaguely guessed that this Gao Chibang must have an unusual relationship with Gao Biao.

"The marshal is angry, a letter doesn't explain anything."

Gao Yu's anger had obviously not subsided.

"Li Rupei thought about going to exterminate the Yellow Nest, why didn't he take action himself, he could take Xiangyang, he could fight among himself, why couldn't he exterminate the Yellow Nest, wasn't he stationed in Xiangyang, he was willing to enter Huainan Province to exterminate the Yellow Nest, he didn't have the slightest opinion, and even welcomed the Iron Blood Army into Huainan Province."

Gao Biao's words have been said a little, after all, Gao Biao is the envoy of Huainan Festival, and Li Rupei will not easily enter Huainan Province, not to mention that the iron-blooded army enters Huainan Province, in case of defeating Huangchao, will it occupy many states and counties in Huainan Province, that is also an unclear matter, and it may conflict with the army under Gao Biao at that time.

Bi Shiduo thought of this, but he would not open his mouth to refute it.

Bi Shiduo didn't speak, Gao Biao seemed to be encouraged, walked to the desk angrily, picked up the brush, and prepared to reply.

Seeing such a situation, Bi Shiduo did not speak, turned around and left silently, he knew very well Gao Biao's temper and temperament, what Gao Biao decided, it must be done, and the persuasion of others did not have much effect.

On the twenty-eighth of the lunar month, Gao Chibang received a reply from Gao Biao.

After reading the reply, Gao Chibang's face was pale, and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing that the Spring Festival was coming, Gao Chibang's mood was originally very good, and he also wanted to have a good Spring Festival, but he was ruined by Gao Biao's reply.

Wang fu.

Cui Anqian and Gao Chibang entered the study.

Li Rupei had already finished reading Gao Yu's reply, with a smile on his face.

"General Gao, after seeing Gao Biao's reply, are you in a bad mood, what's so strange about this, Gao Biao is also a member of the Tang Dynasty, although the confrontation with Huang Chao has damaged his reputation, but the previous credit is still there, so his temper is also unusual, and his young age is naturally nothing in Gao Biao's eyes."

"Lord Wang, it's all simple for subordinates to think, I can't imagine Gao Biao to be so arrogant."

Cui Anqian looked at Li Rupei and Gao Chibang, and did not speak, he knew something about Gao Biao, Gao Biao was loyal to the imperial court before, but as his power became more and more powerful, he slowly began to despise the imperial court and began to gather his own power, as for the relationship between Gao Chibang and Gao Biao, he knew something.

"It's nothing, a certain has always been a salute before the soldiers, since Gao Biao welcomes the Iron Blood Army to enter Huainan Road to exterminate the Yellow Nest, that's a good thing, the Iron Blood Army will enter Huainan Road and completely exterminate the Yellow Nest, but the Iron Blood Army will not work in vain, since he Gao Biao can't exterminate the Yellow Nest, then there is no need to serve as the Huainan Festival Envoy, you can return to the eastern capital Luoyang to retire."

Li Rupei's understatement made Cui Anqian and Gao Chibang stunned.

After a long while, Cui Anqian spoke.

"Is the prince really ready to exterminate the Yellow Nest?"

"That's certain, Huangchao has rebelled for many years, wandering around the Tang Dynasty, and the damage caused is big enough, if it is allowed to continue to be free, I don't know how much trouble it will cause."

After saying this, Li Rupei walked to the front of the map, pointed to the location of Huainan Road with his finger, and spoke again.

"Huainan Road is the land of fish and rice, but under the governance of Gao Biao, the people are poor, I don't know how many displaced people have entered Suizhou and Fuzhou and other places, plus Huangchao is entrenched in Huainan Road, the people will not be able to survive, if this situation is allowed to continue, I don't know how many people will join the rebel army."
