When he entered the Yamen of the Xiangyang Festival, Li Rupei's face was also a little pale.

took Xiangyang City overnight, which he didn't expect, the special forces captured Liu Ziheng, this is the thing he is most happy about, presumably the news of the occupation of Xiangyang City by the Iron and Blood Army has not yet been spread, but when the news spreads, another round of uproar will definitely break out.

The loss of the iron-blooded army is not very large, thanks to the 3,000 soldiers led by Zhu Wen, who stubbornly defended the south gate and Yongdao, and had crushed the Xiangyang Tooth Army from the momentum, and when the army entered the south gate, many of the Tooth Army sergeants chose to kneel and surrender, giving up resistance, and a small number of stubborn Tooth Army officers and sergeants were also killed in the shortest possible time.

Until the end of the battle, the sky was not bright, and the city of Xiangyang was very quiet, and it was not affected much.

This is the situation that Li Rupei is most satisfied with, he took Xiangyang City, and the entire Xiangyang City did not suffer the slightest damage.

Gao Chibang has long arranged for the soldiers of the iron-blooded army, guarding the surroundings of Xiangyang City, maintaining the stability of the city, there will be chaos after the war, which is almost inevitable, especially in the siege battle, when the city is about to be broken, the city is chaotic, the ruffians took to the streets at this time, smashed and looted, no one cared about them, the people in the city were worried about the slaughter after the city was broken, and the people were also panicked, and various factors were intertwined, so that the entire city fell into chaos and madness.

But this time when he attacked Xiangyang City, nothing happened.

The battle did not last long, and the Xiangyang Ya army stationed in the city did not even have time to deploy, and after the army of the Iron Blood Army rushed into the south gate, most of the sergeants chose to surrender, and the few who resisted were quickly killed.

After the victory in the battle, Gao Chibang did not have time to celebrate, and quickly deployed defensive matters in the city. To avoid smashing and other situations, and at the same time began to concentrate on the surrender of the Xiangyang Ya Army sergeants, as well as the officials who came to surrender one after another, etc.

The losses of the Iron Blood Army also existed, mainly the 3,000 soldiers led by Zhu Wen, the remaining less than 500 people, and the remaining 2,500 or so people were all killed.

This was a major loss for the Iron Army, but the loss was worth it, in exchange for the peace of the entire Xiangyang City, so that the Iron Blood Army got a complete city.

Liu Ziheng was held in solitary confinement in the prison.

Li Rupei is not in the mood to see Liu Ziheng for the time being, he will not let Liu Ziheng go. There is no doubt that he wants to kill Liu Ziheng, but he still needs to get some inside information about his father being hunted down from Liu Ziheng's mouth.

The main problem that Li Rupei considered at this time was how to hold Xiangyang City, and even lead the entire Shannan Dongdao, this action must be fast, otherwise if there is a riot in Fuzhou County, to which Shannan Dongdao belongs, the loss will be very heavy, because of Liu Ziheng in front. has forced the people to have no way to live, and there are still some sergeants of the Xiangyang Ya Army, who are still exploiting the people in various places.

Thinking of this, Li Rupei felt a headache. In his heart, he also disgusted and despised Liu Ziheng even more.

After Qin Erhei entered the wing, Li Rupei took out the written letter.

"Erhei, this letter must be sent to Liangzhou within two days and handed over to Liu Yunzhang. There is no room for delay. ”

After Qin Erhei turned around and left the wing, Gao Chibang and Huang Biao entered the wing.

"What does the prince command?"

Gao Chibang spoke directly, and at this time he and Huang Biao were extremely busy. The first problem is to stabilize the situation in Xiangyang City, the people must not appear in a panicked situation, and the gentry and wealthy households must be stabilized, because the slightest disturbance may cause a large-scale commotion in the city.

"I know that you are very busy, stabilizing Xiangyang City is the top priority, but as long as the soldiers can guard the various main roads, there is no need to worry about any riots, the iron-blooded army has taken Xiangyang City, the biggest problem is no longer the problem of Xiangyang, but the various prefectures and counties to which Shannan Dongdao belongs, you all know the situation along the road, so far there are still more than 10,000 Xiangyang Ya Army still exploiting the people below, and the local government does not know that Liu Ziheng has been captured alive, and most of the Xiangyang Ya Army has collapsed, Therefore, stabilizing the lower is the most important task, and if you want to stabilize the situation below in the form of a notice, it is unlikely, and you must rely on the army to stabilize the various prefectures and counties. ”

Gao Chibang and Huang Biao both frowned, Shannan East Road has a very large territory, and there are many more Fuzhou counties than Shannan West Road, and it is unrealistic to think that it is unrealistic to send the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to various Fuzhou counties in a short period of time.

Li Rupei stood up and continued to speak.

"You see, a certain has divided Shannan West Road into three pieces, close to the direction of Quanzhou as a piece, don't worry too much, Kuizhou, Fangzhou, Junzhou, Guizhou and Xiazhou as a piece, the focus is on Fangzhou, stabilize Fangzhou can deter the rest of the place, the rest is Xiangyang, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Suizhou, Yingzhou, Fuzhou and Jingzhou, this piece is of course Xiangyang as the center, and stabilizing Xiangyang can deter other places."

"The Iron-Blooded Army needs to be stationed in Fangzhou immediately, and at the same time, Huang Biao will lead 10,000 Iron-Blooded Army soldiers to continue to exterminate the Xiangyang Ya Army scattered all over the country.

Has the war just ended, everyone wants to take a breath, this is also human nature, at least it should be celebrated.

"I know that the soldiers are very hard, if you can take a good rest and celebrate, you should also do it, but the current situation has not stabilized, and the time is very urgent and precious, Shannan Dongdao belongs to all places, once you know that the Iron Blood Army has occupied Xiangyang, exterminated the Xiangyang Tooth Army, and captured Liu Ziheng, there will definitely be a situation of fluctuations and wait-and-see, and the soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army must stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time, so it is also to stabilize the entire Shannan Dongdao at the minimum cost."

"This is already his own business, and he can't shirk it, he wrote a letter to Liu Gong, asking him to transfer some officials from Shannan West Road to Xiangyang, once the iron-blooded army stabilizes the situation in the entire Shannan East Road, the government at all levels will start to replace officials, and those who exploit the people, as well as Liu Ziheng's henchmen and officials, must be cleared out."

"Liu Ziheng disregarded the life and death of the people, a large amount of taxes, has made most of the people in Shannan Dongdao unable to live, this legacy of the problem, must be solved in the shortest possible time, especially near Huainan Province Suizhou, Yingzhou and Fuzhou and other places, if the people there can not survive, it is very likely to take refuge under the command of Huangchao, and the displaced people scatter in all directions, it will also affect the peace of various places."

"General Gao, General Huang, the task is very heavy, the iron-blooded army successfully took Xiangyang, it is only the beginning, and the rest of the things are completely done, so that they can really be at peace."

As soon as Li Rupei finished speaking, Huang Biao quickly spoke.

"Lord Wang, Elder Cui Ge in the capital also has to think about it."

Li Rupei looked at Huang Biao, he knew that Huang Biao was really anxious, and Gao Chibang was the same.

"Yan Fu in the capital, about to get the news, the corresponding deployment has been launched, presumably Liu Gong has made all the arrangements, what is needed now is the time difference, the imperial court has received the news that the iron-blooded army has captured Xiangyang City, there are still several days, during this time, it is necessary to let the father-in-law take up the post of the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Dongdao."

After Gao Chibang and Huang Biao left, Li Rupei began to carefully examine the map.

His eyes have been set on Huainan Dao, where Huang Chao's army is stationed, close to Suizhou and Yingzhou and other places, and can also threaten these places at all times, Liu Ziheng used to communicate privately with Huang Chao, and he was able to stabilize these places, but once the iron-blooded army occupied the entire Shannan East Road, Huang Chao would definitely invade these places.

The biggest feature of Huangchao is mobility, a shot to change a place, to deal with such an army, it is necessary to clear on a large scale, and sporadic operations are not of much effect, that is to say, if the iron-blooded army wants to stabilize the entire Shannan Dongdao, it must completely exterminate the army of Huangchao, so that it can temporarily sit back and relax.

All parts of Datang are unstable, once the Iron Blood Army launches an operation, it is like touching a domino, and one after another things will happen, maybe from this time on, the Iron Blood Army should not think about having a stable day, even if it is the army that exterminated the Yellow Nest, how can Gao Yu stationed in Huainan Road settle down, he will definitely be worried, and he will take some action.

Li Rupei probably doesn't have a lot of time to rest, so he must think about it holistically.

Gao Biao is also a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Rupei doesn't want to recruit this Gao Biao, he knows that the relationship between Gao Chibang and Gao Biao is not ordinary, but doing big things is not informal, as long as he doesn't kill Gao Biao, even if it is very good, and Gao Biao in history, the ending is not very good, and he was finally killed by his generals.

After a short period of consideration, Li Rupei made a decision that the situation in Shannan Dongdao must be completely stabilized by the end of the year, at least so that the common people can be stabilized, so that businessmen can gather in Xiangyang to do business, and local governments can handle government affairs well.

This task is not light, and it requires Cui Anqian, Liu Yunzhang and others to work extremely hard to be able to do it.

The territory has increased, and things will definitely be more and more complicated, fortunately, there are Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang in the lead, in terms of ability, Cui Anqian is stronger than Liu Yunzhang, and Cui Anqian's identity is also more special, he is Li Rupei's father-in-law, Liu Yunzhang will definitely not compete with Cui Anqian for status, which can also ensure unity and cooperation between officials.

After thinking about these things, Li Rupei walked out of the wing.

The cries of women and children from the backyard alarmed him and reminded him of Liu Ziheng, these women and children who were detained were Liu Ziheng's family, and I am afraid that they had also suffered a lot at this time.

Li Rupei shook his head, he was going to face Liu Ziheng, and there were still many situations that Liu Ziheng needed to explain. (To be continued......)
