defeated Huangchao, Liu Jurong became a big winner, although he was not able to go to the capital, but he continued to serve as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, and was crowned with the title of Pingzhangshi, which is equivalent to the treatment of the prime minister, compared to those prime ministers in the capital, I am afraid it is much stronger, and the most happy thing for him is that his youngest son Liu Di was appointed as the commander of the capital. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
From the tooth general to the commander of the capital, this step seems simple, just a level of promotion, in fact, it is very difficult, the tooth general is still a military general in the end, thinking about becoming a civil servant, it is quite difficult, the general tooth general, are the henchmen of the festival degree, it is unlikely to become the festival degree envoy directly, unless it is an unauthorized usurpation of power, but the commander is different, and it is logical to become the festival degree.
As for the decision not to kill Huang Chao, Liu Jurong thinks that he has made a very wise decision, if he really completely exterminates Huang Chao, I am afraid that he, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Dongdao, should not think about continuing to do it, the imperial court will rise and descend secretly, let him go to the capital, there are a lot of people who want to serve as the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Dongdao, and now Huangchao is still active in Jiangnan Province and Huainan Road, threatening to exist all the time, the status of Shannan Dongdao is very important, and he must guard it.
That is, when he was happy and excited, Liu Jurong received a letter from Lu Yanhong, and he locked himself in the house alone and thought about it for a whole day.
When Liu Di entered the house, he held his head high, he was at such an age, he became the commander of the capital, I don't know how many people worship and envy, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has a great future, whether he relies on the relationship or not, he has become the commander, even if it is a huge success, this time he led the army to conquer Huangchao, Liu Di also did establish the credit, as for the encounter in Guanzhuang Town, Shannan West Road, he has long forgotten about it.
Liu Jurong's expression was not very good, and Liu Di's heart chuckled.
"Father, did you encounter any trouble?"
"Look at this letter, it's written by Lu Yanhong from Shannan West Road."
Liu Di was still in the same habit, and quickly read the letter, without thinking too much, and opened his mouth nonchalantly.
"Father, the child thinks that this matter is easy to handle, Lu Gong asked for reinforcements, but the army has just conquered Huangchao, his vitality is greatly damaged, and he needs time to rest, his father can completely reply to Lu Gong, and he can't send a sergeant to encircle and suppress the bandits."
Liu Jurong looked at Liu Di, and his eyes revealed a look of hatred for iron and steel, but this look quickly disappeared.
"Zhaolin, things are not so simple, this time to fight against Huangchao, Lu Gong personally led the army to help, and he didn't come to be rude, if his father refused Lu Gong's request, it would be unreasonable."
"Lu Gong led the army to help, this is the order of Wang Ge Lao, or the order of the imperial court, if my father directly wrote a letter asking for help, presumably Lu Gong would never personally lead the army to come, or even send troops to reinforce."
"What you said makes sense, it is true, but Lu Gong personally led the army to reinforcements, and it was Xiangyang who actually got the benefits, and Cao Zhijun, who was kind to Xiangyang, was transferred to the capital, so there is no need to think about it so much, but Lu Gong is still in Shannan West Road, and he has not been rewarded by the imperial court, if he doesn't express it, he will not be able to meet in the future."
Liu Jurong said very tactfully, and he was reluctant to mention Liu Di's affairs in Guanzhuang Town, so as not to hurt Liu Di's self-esteem, after all, Liu Di was the commander of the capital, and his identity was different.
It's a pity that Liu Di didn't understand the meaning and still insisted on his opinion.
"Father, I can explain the situation, it is too difficult to send troops, even if it is to provide some money, food and grass."
"Zhaolin, do you know why my father decided not to completely exterminate the Yellow Nest?"
Liu Di looked at Liu Jurong and shook his head, this is also what he is dissatisfied with and does not understand, if he obeys Cao Quanxi's Jianyì, the army crosses the Yangtze River, Huang Chao will definitely have nowhere to escape, and in the end he can only surrender, what a great credit, seeing that it is lost.
"Zhaolin, my father has long said that we must take into account the next step in doing things, and try to predict all the consequences, so that we can make accurate judgments and decisions, just say that the matter of the conquest of Huangchao, Huangchao from Huainan Road to Jiangnan Road, to Lingnan Road, has walked through so many places along the road, when occupying Fuzhou, he was defeated by Gao Biao, and several important generals under him surrendered.
"Don't you say that the combat effectiveness of the sergeants under Gao Biao is not good, when Gao Biao was in Nanzhao, he made the natives who rebelled in Nanzhao tremble and did not dare to move, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the army under Gao Biao is not ordinary, and the general Zhang Lu under Gao Biao is famous in the imperial court, who doesn't know, under such favorable conditions, Gao Biao just took away the Yellow Nest."
"Besides, Huang Chao went out of Guangzhou, all the way to Guizhou, then entered Jiangnan Road, and killed Shannan East Road, is there no army to stop this way, but everyone did not move."
"Even the famous Gao Yu didn't think about completely exterminating Huang Chao, as long as Huang Chao left Huainan Road, he didn't think about it so much, you think about it carefully, why is this happening."
Liu Di was about to open his mouth to answer, but Liu Jurong waved his hand and continued to speak.
"The imperial court has long formed a habit, when it encounters a disaster, it thinks of the soldiers below, and asks everyone to sell their lives, the matter has calmed down, the credit is in the imperial court, and it is impossible to think of rewarding the soldiers below, and it may even be because the meritorious person shows strong combat effectiveness, which leads to the suspicion of the imperial court, in this case, can a certain person completely exterminate the Yellow Nest."
"The imperial court enshrined a certain Pingzhang this time, do you think it is the court's willingness, there is no way to do it, it has shown combat effectiveness for the father, so that the court does not dare to underestimate it, because Huangchao has not been completely exterminated, and is still active in Jiangnan Province, at this time, the imperial court needs to stabilize the surrounding situation for the father, and it is forced to seal the official."
"You have to remember one thing, Huang Chao is here, and his father is stable, once Huang Chao is exterminated, I am afraid that my father will also encounter the suspicion and calculation of the imperial court.
Liu Jurong's words, except for saying to Liu Di, will never open his mouth on weekdays.
Liu Di nodded again and again.
"The father is wise, and the child understands, but these things have nothing to do with the reinforcement of Shannan West Road."
Liu Jurong held back his anger, if he were someone else, he would have lost his temper a long time ago, but in the face of his son, his temper has no effect, he can only be instilled bit by bit.
"Zhaolin, my father can't make decisions for you every time, you must learn to think for yourself, everything is connected, when my father talks about the matter of Huangchao, it is an example given, Lu Gong sent troops to reinforce Xiangyang, is it completely the request of Wang Ge Lao, why when Tanzhou and Jiangling were attacked, Lu Gong did not send troops to reinforce, when Lingnan was plundered, Lu Gong ignored it, but Xiangyang was attacked and sent troops, Lu Gong was very clear, once Shannan Dongdao encountered danger, Shannan West Road is also not spared, Huangchao captured Xiangyang, and the next step is likely to be Liangzhou. ”
"In the same way, if there is turmoil in Shannan West Road, can Shannan East Road be stable, it will not work, the bandits in Guanzhuang Town, self-proclaimed iron-blooded army, combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and my father has always paid attention to their movements, in fact, when Lu Gong led his troops to Xiangyang, he guessed the problem, but Lu Gong was unwilling to say that the threat of the iron-blooded army increased, and Shannan East Road would not be peaceful in the future, in this case, reinforcements were necessary, and this was also for their own interests."
After Liu Jurong said this truth, Liu Di didn't argue, in fact, there were two meanings, and he was also clear, that is, Lu Yanhong knew clearly about his defeat in Guanzhuang Town, if Lu Yanhong made a fuss about this matter, I am afraid that there would be trouble, and it would take at least a lot of effort to settle it. In addition, it is the leader of the iron-blooded army, it is very likely to be Li Rupei, if Li Rupei's strength grows, maybe he will attack Xiangyang on a large scale to take revenge.
"The child understands, and the child obeys his father's command."
Liu Jurong nodded slightly, it seems that Liu Di still understands things and knows that he may have to lead troops to the battle.
"Zhaolin, the meaning of the father, is to prepare you to go to the expedition, you have just been promoted to the commander of the capital, in the battle of the defeat of Huangchao, you have made a lot of contributions, this is what you deserve, but the battle to defeat Huangchao is Cao Zhijun and the command of his father, you are just fighting, if you are a tooth general, you can do this, but as a commander, it is not appropriate, many times, you need to lead the army to fight alone."
"The child understands."
"Well, you take a look at the map."
On the table are maps of Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, which are actually the original maps of Shannan Province.
"The iron-blooded army occupies Bazhou and Pengzhou, Bazhou is close to the direction of Liangzhou, it should be Lugong who directly leads the army to conquer, you can go directly to attack Pengzhou, the situation of Bazhou and Pengzhou, my father has already done some understanding, the main force of the iron-blooded army is all stationed in the direction of Bazhou, so the focus of the battle is also in Bazhou......"
This time, Liu Di listened very carefully, Liu Jurong just said that he asked him to attack Pengzhou, and he was still very worried, of course, the army he led could not let Lu Yanhong control zhì, so it was really hard to say, now it seems that a qiē has already been arranged, or it is mature in thinking.
"Zhaolin, you lead three thousand soldiers to Pengzhou directly, when marching, you must always keep in touch with your father, and in addition, you must also inform Lugong of the situation of the march, as for other coordination matters, you can do it for your father."
"For the father to emphasize that the march and the battle have to think more, this time the expedition, no better than fighting with the Yellow Nest, if you can't win, it will directly affect the safety of Xiangyang, this is for Lu Gong to relieve the siege, how to do you have to know in your heart, the battle situation on the side of Lu Gong, for the father will always pay attention, you also have to send scouts, grasp the overall situation, if Lu Gong suffers a fiasco, or there are other measures, you have to make a decision in time, and resolutely do not do it when you shouldn't fight."
"Li Rupei's situation, not many people know, this matter must not be leaked out, when necessary, the father will propose to Lu Gong to build a year, recommend Li Rupei to the imperial court to be an official, as long as Li Rupei accepts such a proposal, then he can solve the problem once and for all."
Liu Di finally understood, it turned out that his father was really thinking about things very carefully, and letting Lu Yanhong fight with Li Rupei could weaken the strength of Lu Yanhong and Li Rupei to the greatest extent, and then when both sides were exhausted, Jian Yì adopted the method of sealing the official and making a wish, once Li Rupei accepted such a Jian, his identity was naturally exposed, and some people in Chang'an were restless, and Li Rupei probably couldn't escape the fate of destruction.
