On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, there are only four days before the Spring Festival, and Liangzhou City has long been caught in the joy of the Spring Festival.

The army led by Huang Biao and Liu Yunzhang also returned to Liangzhou on this day, bringing back the captured Liu Di and many prisoners, the battle ended so quickly, and the iron-blooded army won a complete victory, which was somewhat unexpected by Li Rupei, according to his speculation, the battle should be ended in the first month, and it was six days before and after, and the battle was over.

Song Hu still led 5,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to stay in Quanzhou.

The scouts didn't even have time to report the whole story.

The main report is Liu Yunzhang, after all, in terms of level, Liu Yunzhang is far stronger than Huang Biao.

It turned out that this battle was able to win so quickly, mainly because the special forces played an unexpected role, experienced the victory of the sneak attack, Huang Biao paid attention to the role of the special forces when arranging the deployment of the operation, when the war began, directly sent special forces to raid the opponent's Chinese army tent, the special forces captured Liu Di, resulting in chaos in the Xiangyang Tooth Army, the lack of command system, the handsome flag was captured by the iron-blooded army, and the Xiangyang Tooth Army was in chaos in an instant.

The whole battle lasted for half a day, and the Xiangyang Ya Army was annihilated.

What particularly surprised Liu Yunzhang was the special forces, as the supervisor of the army, he never thought that the battle would end in such a short time, and the Iron and Blood Army wiped out 10,000 Xiangyang Ya troops at the cost of minimal casualties.

In the process of reporting, Liu Yunzhang spoke in great detail, and vigorously praised Huang Biao's comprehensive and coordinated operational arrangements and the dispatch of special forces at the most appropriate time, which Liu Yunzhang praised as a stroke of genius.

After Liu Yunzhang finished reporting, Huang Biao had almost nothing to add, and the only thing Huang Biao said was that Liu Yunzhang, as a supervisor, was very good at scheduling in all aspects.

Huang Biao and Liu Yunzhang praised each other, which made Li Rupei very happy.

How to deal with Liu Di's matter, it has long been decided, Liangzhou is not very far from the capital, Liu Yunzhang suggested quickly discharging the envoy, taking Liu Di to the capital, and handing it over to Liu Jurong directly, he didn't need to say anything, he would naturally give Liu Jurong a letter to explain all the reasons.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Yunzhang followed Li Rupei to the wing.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Yunzhang made a request.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to take a look at various places in Shannan West Road and learn about the situation in various places."

"Oh, don't you want to take advantage of the New Year's festival to rest and adjust, a few days ago, the merchants in Luoyang sent a letter, thinking of coming to Liangzhou, a certain reply to them, asking them to come to Liangzhou after the fifteenth day of the first month, so that many things are easier to do, after all, the Spring Festival is the biggest festival, and the officials and iron-blooded soldiers everywhere need to rest and rest."

"It's not a secret, when my subordinates were staying in the eastern capital, they had been resting for a long time, and when they came to the prince, I hope to grasp a lot of information as soon as possible, so that they can put forward real suggestions for the prince."

"Liu Gong's "Book of Direct Advice" is the best advice, I don't know how many times I have read it."

"The subordinates thank the prince for his grace, and the subordinates still want to go to various places to see."

Li Rupei nodded and agreed, since Liu Yunzhang wanted to go to various places to understand the situation, he must have thought about it a long time ago, and he might as well let him go and see, he would have to rely on Liu Yunzhang more in the future.

After making the request, Liu Yunzhang did not leave the wing room immediately, and thought for a while before speaking.

"The subordinates heard that the imperial court came to the holy decree, and there were things about the subordinates, but when they returned to Liangzhou, the prince did not mention it, and the subordinates were a little worried, but they still wanted to understand the reason."

Li Rupei smiled, did not speak, took out the holy decree from the case, and handed it to Liu Yunzhang.

Liu Yunzhang was a little surprised, and his face turned a little pale.

Coming to Li Rupei's side, Liu Yunzhang's feeling has always been very strange, he feels that Li Rupei has an unusual temperament and demeanor, such a temperament is incomparable even to the emperor, in fact, he still hesitated, when he decided to open the gate of Luoyang City to surrender, mainly for the people in the city, he invested in Li Rupei's command, and he also felt that he could make great achievements, as for other aspects, he didn't think so much, but this time he followed the iron-blooded army to conquer, he completely felt a different atmosphere, That is, the Iron and Blood Army may not only regard Li Rupei as the prince, but also in the process of contact with Huang Biao, he also realized that whether it is the emperor's decree or the imperial court's edict, in the eyes of Huang Biao and others, it is nothing, and only Li Rupei's order will really be executed.

This reveals an unusual meaning, that is, the vast majority of officials in Shannan West Province probably have a kind of thought, that is, Li Rupei will definitely be able to rule the world and be able to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

This is a very scary idea, and it is also something that a Hanlin scholar like Liu Yunzhang needs to think about seriously.

So he decided to go to the states and counties of Shannan West Province to see what the actual situation is below, which is also to examine Li Rupei's ability from the side, to see if Li Rupei has an extraordinary ability, and this ability is not only reflected in the construction of the army, after all, many of the Datang envoys have strong capabilities in army construction, but as the emperor, the most important thing is the ability to reflect on the people's livelihood.

Liu Yunzhang is not old-fashioned, especially after experiencing the danger of Luoyang, many of his ideas have changed, it can be said that there have been earth-shaking changes, if Li Rupei is really capable, why can't he ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, why can't he create a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

On the way back, Liu Yunzhang already knew that the imperial court had come to the holy decree, and among the holy decrees, there were things about him, after all, the decision to open the city gate and surrender was unforgivable in the eyes of the imperial court.

Li Rupei directly handed him the holy decree, this simple action contains great meaning, on the one hand, Li Rupei trusts him very much, and on the other hand, Li Rupei does not take the holy decree in his eyes at all.

After reading the holy decree as quickly as possible, Liu Yunzhang, whose face was pale, stood up and spoke to Li Rupei.

"Lord Wang, his subordinates are guilty and are willing to accept the punishment of the prince."

Li Rupei's expression also became serious.

"Liu Gong, you can write the "Book of Direct Advice", which shows that you have a deep understanding of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, and you are also clear about the identity of a certain person, as a descendant of the Li family, a certain person is unwilling to see the decline of the Tang Dynasty, but the power of a certain is limited, and it is impossible to save the declining Datang with personal ability, and a certain needs to get a lot of support, and even do some shocking things, think about the once glorious Datang, look at the current situation, and feel heartache all the time."

"You are also clear about what happened to you, my father was convicted because of the change of the throne, and the whole family suffered an accident, and I often think about why all this happened, why the eunuchs were able to govern the court, why they could ignore the Tang Dynasty for their own interests, there are so many wise civil officials in the court, why the court situation will be completely controlled by the eunuchs."

"The hatred of a certain mind is very deep, but these things are not all for revenge, a certain very clear, the tragedy of the father is actually the tragedy of the royal family, if you can't revitalize the Tang Dynasty, you can't change the current situation, a bigger tragedy will appear, think seriously about what happened to the eastern capital Luoyang, the Huangchao army coerced the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an, so many festival envoys in the north are all standing by, and the high and many festival envoys in the south are also thinking of self-preservation, the emergence of such a situation, Shouldn't the imperial court think deeply? ”

"The northern Jiedu envoy does not obey the imperial decree of the imperial court, the imperial court cannot appoint the Jiedu envoy, and the replacement of the officials of the imperial court in the capital is all the end of the eunuch's own strength, and the adjustment of many Jiedu envoys is the expansion of personal strength, what does the emperor master, and in the long run, what hope does the Tang Dynasty have."

Saying so much in one breath, Li Rupei looked at Liu Yunzhang, whose face was pale.

"Okay, a certain has said a lot, Liu Gong reference, the emperor's holy decree, a certain did not take it to heart, Liu Gong arrived in Liangzhou, then do things with peace of mind, if you are still thinking about the affairs of the court all the time, then there is nothing to say, I will repair a book, ask the emperor to reuse Liu Gong, if you are at ease in Liangzhou, then don't care what happened to the court."

The meaning of Li Rupei's words is very clear.

Liu Yunzhang knelt down in front of Li Rupei.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates understand, and my subordinates are willing to follow the prince and die with all their might."

Li Rupei helped Liu Yunzhang up.

"Liu Gong is a bachelor of Hanlin, highly educated, what to do does not need a certain reminder, Liu Gong wants to go down to see the situation of Shannan West Road, a certain look is also good, but a certain thought, Liu Gongda does not have to work so hard, selectively look at a few places, such as Liangzhou, Bazhou and Pengzhou and other places, a certain Liu Gong is high hopes, looking forward to Liu Gong to go down to see, can put forward more suggestions."

A bright spot appeared in Liu Yunzhang's eyes.

All scholars are full of ambition, expecting to be able to show their skills and realize their own value, after meeting the master, there is quite an ambition to die for a confidant, Liu Yunzhang, who is about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, has such a feeling for the first time, Li Rupei's sincere attitude is what he is looking forward to, Li Rupei's identity is also clear to him, to be able to do things under the command of such a wise person, what else do he have to worry about and complain.

Liu Yunzhang tidied up his clothes again, and gave Li Rupei a proper look, this time he did not kneel and bow, that was because Li Rupei had not yet reached that position, and he believed that one day, he would kneel and bow.
