The Hezhong army retreated to Taiyuan Mansion under the supervision of the forbidden army, but they still took very strict precautions against the Hezhong army, did not allow them to enter the city, and let them be stationed outside the Sanjiaokou, and only allowed Prince Yan to lead 500 guards into the city to discuss the aftermath. Such an attitude caused an uproar among the ministries, and Zhao Ta's mood at the moment can be imagined, helpless, angry, disappointed, and mixed!

Zhao Ta knew that once he entered the city, he was afraid that he would be forcibly left in the city, and the forbidden army would also take advantage of his departure to forcibly disband the volunteers with a holy decree, and ordered all the government armies and departments to retreat into the river. And the generals of the Hezhong army have long hated the attitude of the imperial court, and they are going to make trouble, who is their opponent in the Hedong Division, at that time, not only Hedong will go through the war again, but if it is not done well, it will sweep the entire northwest, so Zhao Ta decided to temporarily stay in the army to appease the army.

Zhao Ta also had good intentions, but he scared a group of bigwigs in Taiyuan City, his identity and location were too sensitive, and no one could help but think about it!

What kind of place is Taiyuan City? Known as the Dragon City, it is the place where the emperor came out, although the dragon veins were nailed and the dragon horns were cut, but Emperor Taizong nailed other families, not the old Zhao family. Prince Yan is also the root of the old Zhao family, and now that the family has won the battle, he has been brought back under the escort of the army. The soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City are also discussing this matter, holding grievances for King Yan, even the officials and generals of the forbidden army in the city also sympathize with it, although they did not say it, but they are also passive and slack, and the edict is not active, and the crowd is turbulent.

There was a one-sided trend in the city. And the army is going to be disbanded, and the princess is stranded in the palace, which is also the rhythm of forcing people to a dead end, if the young man can't hold his breath and says 'disrespectful'. Wouldn't it be bad for his subordinates to follow Taizu's example back then and play a game of 'yellow robe'...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the army in the river is stranded outside the city. Prince Yan refused to enter the city, and the court urged him very urgently. What do you have to do? "The situation was 'grim' and the civil war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, so Li Gang, the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, reported to the DPRK and China at the same time, and convened the first enlarged meeting of Hedong Road after he took office to discuss countermeasures.

"Xuanfu is too nervous, the army in the river has been fighting hard repeatedly, and they should rest and recuperate just now, how can they be pulled out immediately, Prince Yan may want to reward the soldiers and appease the army. It is not impossible to return to the city two days late. Zhang Xiaochun spoke first, he was very uninterested in Li Gang's overreaction, and people were going to rebel early, as long as they set aside a section to occupy the dangerous pass, they could block your forbidden army from Hedong, so he didn't believe that Prince Yan would do anything disrespectful.

"Master Zhang's words are bad, if Prince Yan is open-minded, he should not repeatedly violate the edict, and he should enter the city as soon as possible after returning to the army!" Liu Ju, deputy envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, said.

"Hmph, if the Yanmen is not guarded, the east of the river is not protected; Stone Ridge is gone. Taiyuan is difficult to hold! Doesn't General Liu know? If Prince Yan stops in front of the pass, Taiyuan will still be under the golden thief soldiers, and this is just to eliminate the trouble of Taiyuan, and the prefect and the official will also jointly play in front of the palace! Wang Yu said. If General Liu was trapped by the army, would he have the courage to leave the army and enter the city alone? At this point, the words are even more unkind.

"Even if it's as General Wang said. When the imperial army arrived, King Yan should also be ordered to retire. Leave the matter of attack and defense to us, and we should not march into Xinzhou again. Otherwise, it will be difficult to wash away the bad meaning! Liu Ju's face turned red, but he still argued strongly.

"Hehe, I will leave the matter of attack and defense to you and others, Taiyuan City has been besieged for several months, and when the Jurchens poisoned the east of the river, I don't know where you are waiting? The Holy Edict asked you to wait for the aid of Taiyuan, what are you doing? If it weren't for Prince Yan's troops to come to the rescue, I'm afraid you would have come to collect the corpse for me! Zhang Xiaochun listened and said with a dumb smile.

"Master Zhang, at that time, Han was not leaving the army to Beijing, and everyone was in the edict to save the driver, and the two things should not be mentioned together!" Li Gang hurriedly said that the rescue of Taiyuan himself was indeed 'pushing three obstacles and four times' and refused to take command, although there was a reason for it, but it was done in the end.

"When the Xuanfu envoy was in a national crisis, he insisted on Kaifeng against public opinion, and the officials admired it, but in February, Han had withdrawn from the army, but the reinforcements were delayed, but what was waiting for was the land cut? I don't see you waiting for a soldier to come to the rescue. At the time of the land cut, Li Gang was in the position of ruler, no matter what he was, he could not escape justice, Zhang Xiaochun's words were also very unceremoniously pointed to Li Gang and others not saving them when they saw death, and Taiyuan belonged to them with disdain.

"There is a public discussion in the DPRK and China on this matter, so Master Zhang should not pursue it again, but explain how to deal with the current matter!" Li Gang also has a hard time arguing about this matter, he can't blame the emperor, and if he continues to argue, there will be no result, so he has to divert his words.

"In this case, the lower officials think that the imperial court should be appeased with good words, fulfill the promise, reward meritorious, and then send it out of the country as a gift, and settle it properly!" Zhang Xiaochun said.

"Well, but after this catastrophe, the treasury is empty, and it is difficult to gather such a large number for a while!" Li Gang said with an embarrassed face, he is a character who is not in charge, I still owe my start-up fee, where can I go to exchange such a large amount of silver, and the money is divided by the emperor, who is willing to spit out the silver swallowed in his stomach again, the gold belt on his waist is untied, and the war robe on his body is taken off!

"Can the Xuanfu envoy know why the old general was defeated and killed Xiongling?" After hearing this, Wang Yu looked at the generals of the forbidden army coldly and asked, as soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was silent.

At the beginning, the division rescued Taiyuan under Li Gang's strict order, and threw all the baggage in Zhending in order to travel lightly, and after arriving in Hedong, he waited for the other two roads for a long time, so he could only retreat to kill Xiongling and start a fierce battle with the Jin soldiers. Its right army and front army were successively defeated by the Jin soldiers, and the division was wounded four times, leading the pro-army in the enemy's battle, and the soldiers fought hard to repel the Jin soldiers. All the sergeants came together to ask for the reward, and this time the planter made a difficulty, the trip was in a hurry, and the reward money was not brought, and the reward could not be taken out at this time.

The soldiers could only pass down the merits of the sergeants and wait for the money to be delivered, and the hungry and tired soldiers saw that the reward could not be cashed, and they did not care about it, so they fled angrily. In desperation, the seed division led dozens of pro-soldiers who were unwilling to flee to fight to the death, and finally stained the battlefield with blood and died in the country. Wang Yu revisited the old matter is to let them understand the unfair rewards and punishments, and the serious consequences that may arise if the rewards are not in place, if the court does not give money, the army in the river will use this as an excuse to make trouble and not leave, what can Prince Yan do, see what you do?

"What's so difficult about this, we have an army of more than 200,000, as long as they dare to mutiny, they can quickly deploy troops to suppress it, those righteous and brave are just the likes of chickens and dogs, and it is difficult to defeat my heavenly soldiers!" At this time, Fan Qiong said, what he meant was very clear, if they make trouble, we can just send troops to kill them, and we can add some credit.

"That's it, we can send troops to suppress it, isn't it a general?" One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Zhang Hao also echoed.

"Brute, disloyal and unfilial thing, where is your place to speak here!" He has accepted the lessons of the past, this Prince Yan can always surprise people, it seems that he has been silent, but in the blink of an eye, he will give you a blockbuster. He didn't speak, Zhang Chunxiao quit, and scolded in the hall.

Zhang Hao is Zhang Chunxiao's son, but his father was besieged, but he only tried to protect himself and failed to rescue, but now he is doing it. And Lao Tzu taught his son that it was righteous, not to mention scolding him, beating him and killing him, it was not easy for others to interfere, so they could only express sympathy. Zhang Hao was scolded, although he lost face in front of everyone, he didn't dare to argue, and after he had an unfilial reputation, he didn't want to mix in the officialdom, so he had to shrink aside and dare not talk more!

"General Fan, the Yiyong in the river are not the rebels of Jingdong, they have lived in the border for a long time, and they are good at riding and shooting, which is not comparable to the ordinary forbidden army!" Wang Yu said with a smile again, he knew that Fan Qiong had led the troops to suppress the Jingdong peasant uprising, but those who rebelled because of hunger and the archers of the Han Dynasty who had experienced the war were not at the same level at all, and the forbidden army in his hands was really not necessarily an opponent.

"General Wang, don't think that you have merit in defending the city and despise a certain family, I am also the master of a hundred battles!" Fan Qiong's face couldn't hold back, and Wang Yu was not his son, so there was no need to be polite to him.

"Oh, defeat after defeat, let the Jurchens crisscross Hebei, and the soldiers are under the city of Kaifeng, and they are indeed the division of a hundred battles!" Wang Yu said suddenly.

"Piff, you have repeatedly provoked a certain family, do you dare to fight?" Wang Yu's words were more poisonous, and every sentence poked Fan Qiong's sore spot, which made him angry, and he jumped up and shouted with his sword.

"I want to teach the general martial arts, please!" Wang Yu did not show weakness, got up and left the case to help the knife and said.

"Presumptuous, but private fights are invited above the lobby, but you know that there is also a military law and discipline!" Li Gang saw that the two of them drew their swords and turned the hall of the government into a martial arts arena, and couldn't help but shout angrily.

Li Gang also understood that the Hedong officials were very repulsive to them, but they did not forget the salvation of Prince Yan, and it was difficult to urinate in a pot on both sides. Since the establishment of the corps, he has asked the emperor to authorize him to take unified command, and sent urgent letters to various generals and commanders, explaining their interests and asking them to obey his orders.

But the efforts of both sides are in vain, Zhao Huan will never let Li Gang monopolize the military power, but will firmly control the military command in his own hands, how can the generals of all walks of life disobey the holy order because of Li Gang, the result is that in the name of Li Gang's Xuanfu Situ moderation, all the generals are only inheriting the holy order.

Li Gang, as a courtier, must uphold the holy order. As the head of the way, it is necessary to coordinate in the middle, resolve contradictions, and solve problems. But now both sides don't buy their own account as a Xuanfu envoy, and the contradictions are full of tensions, and they can't be pinched together at all, and under the pressure of the three parties, he is miserable and physically and mentally exhausted!

Now the two sides insist on their own words and disputes, and Li Gang has limited resources in his hands, and lacks authority under the emperor's elbow, but if the matter is not handled well, then there may be a split situation of the two masters of the state, and in the case of repeated discussions to no avail, Li Gang decided to 'take the risk' to meet Prince Yan again to see what he thinks...
