"Since they all want to fight, let them all fight! The order went down, and when the troops besieged Yunzhou, Li Guangyan, Wang Pei, Li Yu, and Cheng Quan were each responsible for one side. Let Governor Pei Du take care of it, and whoever enters first will be rewarded heavily. By the way, that battalion will go in first, and I will accept which battalion will enter the Guards and award the battalion flag of the 'Yunzhou Battalion', what do the two ministers think? ”

"Your Majesty, you are Shengming."

Bing Feng approached Yunzhou, Lu Zhen's mood was obviously very good, and he said to Li Yu with a smile, and Pei Yan on the side was also smiling. Li Yu waved his hand and said:

"Lu Xianggong, you are slow to flatter me Shengming, I still have something to worry about, I don't know what to do."

Pei Yan said:

"Your Majesty, but how should Cui Chengdu's 20,000 people be settled?"

Li Yu nodded and said:

"Exactly. The reason why these 20,000 people surrendered to the imperial court was forced by the situation, not out of sincerity, I don't feel at ease if I use it, and if I don't use it, it will cost money and food, which is really a pity. What do you think about it? ”

Pei Yan smiled dumbly and said:

"Your Majesty is too worried, since you have surrendered, where is there any sincerity or insincerity? These 20,000 people are a lot of troops, and whether Your Majesty is at ease with them depends on whether they can be loyal to Your Majesty. The minister thought that with Pei Du here, these 20,000 people would definitely die to His Majesty. ”

Lu Zhen said:

The minister thought that what Pei Xianggong said was very reasonable. However, His Majesty needs to allocate some treasures to Pei Du from Chang Yingcang. ”

Li Yu understood at the time that this was to rely on Pei Du's gentle means, supplemented by heavy grace, to make Cui Chengdu's 20,000 surrendered troops happy and convinced, and he was willing to serve the imperial court.

Since the two prime ministers think so, Li Yu naturally has no reason to object. Moreover, Li Yu also believed that once Wang Pei's act of killing prisoners came out, it would inevitably affect the image of the imperial court, and by appeasing Cui Chengdujun, it might be able to be reversed. So Li Yu raised the question of how to settle Cui Chengdu's department. Wherever these 20,000 unstable troops are placed, it will make people sleep unsteadily.

Lu Zhen and Pei Yan, who were going to go back to the government hall to work, didn't expect Li Yu to raise this question again, so they had to sit down again and listen to Li Yan's high opinion, which was unpleasant, both of them felt as if they had been scratched by something, the itch was full of itching, but they didn't know where the itch was.

Li Yu meant to reorganize and reduce Cui Chengdu's department, and then transfer Cui Chengdu's department to Heyang to fight with Tian Ji'an. And Lu Zhen and Pei Yan both responded extremely strangely to Li Yan's suggestion and expressed their opposition. Pei Yan said:

"It's not impossible to transfer Cui Jun to Weibo, but it will have to wait for Yunzhou to take it. Cui Chengdu's army surrendered and was very easily bewitched by treacherous people. If they were rashly dispatched to fight in other places, it would inevitably lead to chaos, which would not help the Ziqing war situation and damage the situation in Weibo. ”

Seeing that the two prime ministers still didn't understand what they meant, Li Yu hurriedly said:

"Of course, I know that the best way at the moment is of course to let Li Guangyan include 20,000 men in his army, but such a statement may drag down the battle of the army to besiege Yunzhou. Li Shidao didn't pay attention to the more than 100,000 troops, and I didn't expect that this 20,000 troops would make me very sad. ”

It should have been a good thing that so many troops surrendered, but now it has become a sweet annoyance for the imperial court. Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny. These 20,000 people can't handle it, what did the People's Liberation Army do when it grabbed tens of thousands of prisoners? I think about the Laiwu Battle back then, but he caught 50,000 in three days, so it even led to Chen Cheng's sigh that "even 50,000 pigs can't be caught in three days".

Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but have an idea, grandma's, 50,000 captives can be digested, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that there is no way to take you with 20,000 surrendered troops. Let's also learn from great men, come to remember the bittersweet or something, play the Tang Dynasty version of "The White-Haired Girl", and then "Three Good Soldiers", and a soldier write poems to express his heartfelt feelings or something. The more Li Yu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but feel complacent about his great discovery, and the expression on his face became strange. I just wanted to tell Lu Zhen and Pei Yan about my great ideas, but when I saw the two of them looking at me like monsters, I coughed hurriedly.

Lu Zhen smiled awkwardly and arched his hand: This book is reprinted in 6k literary network αp.. cn

"Your Majesty, is the reason why you are so similar is because you are still worried about whether Cui Chengdu is sincere to surrender?"

Li Chanted:

"Exactly."

Lu Zhen and Pei Yan glanced at each other, and suddenly realized that they had finally found the itchy point. Lu Zhen said:

"You don't believe Cui Chengdu, why do you believe in Tian Xing so much? Cui Chengdu's relationship with Li Shidao is not as close as Tian Xing and Tian Ji'an. ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, as if this was indeed the case. But do you want to tell them that Tian Xing is a loyal minister who grew up in the wolf's den in history? But it seems that Cui Chengdu is not a treacherous person. Seeing that the two were looking at themselves, they hurriedly prevaricated:

"A few years ago, Tian Xing came to the court as an envoy of Wei Bo, and I was very impressed by him, so I asked the Grain Statistics Department to focus on collecting information about him, knowing that he was very filial and faithful. Where is there such a person who is not a good person? ”

Pei Yan said:

"Your Majesty, Cui Chengdu is the same. The minister once heard a spy report from the Department of Grain and Straw Statistics that Cui Chengdu had persuaded Li Shidao before Li Shidao's betrayal, and that Li Shidao relied on all the generals to be profit-seeking villains, and the imperial court could lure them over with a soup and ten cakes. Li Shidao is small, and Cui Chengdu still dares to speak out, which shows that this person is not a ruthless and unrighteous person who specializes in flattery. After making an agreement with Chen Guogong, he restrained his subordinates to strictly abide by the boundaries, which shows that he is not a trustworthy person. If such a person can understand the righteousness, why doesn't Your Majesty believe that he can't restrain these 20,000 people? ”

Lu Yi said:

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister thought that this Cui Chengdu could not only restrain his subordinates, but also was looking forward to it, thinking that His Majesty could let him lead the army to rebel against Li Shidao and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions! ”

Pei Yan also smiled:

"That's true. He may not be willing to fight Tian Ji'an, but he is a hundred willing to fight Ziqing. I'm afraid that the whole army is in the same mind as him. ”

Li Yu pondered for a while, feeling that he couldn't figure out this clue, and asked:

"How so? Isn't he trying to keep his family young? ”

Lu Zhen said:

"Not for anything else, it's like this! Further, he is also trying to protect his family. Cui Chengdu, as a general, did not make an inch of merit except for the dedication of the city. When he dedicated the city, he still wanted to save his family, but what about after surrendering? But if you want to win the trust of Renjun, the best way is to let Renjun know that he has broken off with the past. Has Your Majesty forgotten? Back then, after Wang Wujun and Li Na went to the Wanghao, they all worked hard to attack Hebei and Huaixi, in order to use the blood of their former allies to wash away the rebellious colors of their former bodies! Your Majesty thinks about it again, are the former Huaixi generals who are currently serving in the army particularly outstanding? ”

Now it was Li Yu's turn to suddenly realize that he was going to surrender to the imperial court. Come to think of it, isn't it the Wu XX troops who revolted in front of the Jinan Formation who occupied the Nanjing Presidential Palace? Li Chen's originally depressed mood was immediately swept away, and he asked:

"Sure enough, this is the truth, so let's do it, Feng Cui Chengdu is the general of the right feather Lin Weizhonglang, temporarily leading the army, under the control of Li Guangyan, and the army will fight against Yunzhou. I ordered the generals above the lieutenant to go to Luoyang in three days to face the saint, and I ordered the appointment in person, how about it? ”

Pei Yan said:

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, and don't be in a hurry to fight Yunzhou, let's wait for Pei Du to subdue the hearts of the upper and lower armies and then let Cui Chengdu ask for recruitment by himself!"

This time, Li Yu didn't ask why. This is a procedure that must be taken from surrender to surrender to surrender, or rules, Li Yu understands that there are many rules in this era, such as the minister must keep the old man and return to his hometown, and he can only be allowed after repeating it three times, for example, if there is any promotion, he must thank him and humbly push a few words. However, Li Yu felt embarrassed about his naïve performance. Li Yu muttered in his mouth:

"So simple, so easy!"

Lu Zhen knew that Li Yu was worried about his own heart just now, and said:

"Actually, the ministers were also inspired by His Majesty. Didn't Your Majesty issue an edict a few days ago to escort Xiahou Cheng and other forty-seven captured generals to Luoyang, intending to send them to the front of the army to serve their orders? These generals have arrived at the front line, and they will surely work hard to serve Your Majesty. ”

Li Yu saw that Lu Zhen gave him the steps, and hurriedly stepped on it, saying:

"Lu Xianggong didn't say anything, but I almost forgot about it. Where are these people now? Have you abused them on the way? ”

This is a matter for the Ministry of War. Pei Yan said:

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiahou Cheng and other forty-seven people have arrived in Luoyang and are waiting for the imperial court to be assigned. According to His Majesty's orders, they were washed away when they were in Chang'an, and they went on the road as court officers. All of them are grateful to His Majesty. ”

There's an element of sycophancy, but most of it is true. Li Yu and the ministers in charge are asking the city to give favors to these people, how can they insult and abuse them?

These people were escorted to Chang'an, and then the guilty ones were dealt with, and the guilty ones who were willing to repent were exonerated by the imperial court, and this form was the result of the court discussion after the battles of Xichuan and Huaixi. Gao Chongwen and Li Yu both released a large number of enemy generals before the battle, whether they could be exonerated or those who could not. Doing so always buys a good reputation for yourself, and the city is suspicious. These traitors and rebels will often be grateful to Gao Chongwen and Li Yu, not the emperor of the imperial court. Therefore, the emperor and the ministers in charge of the court will feel very unhappy, whether to forgive these people or not, the decision is in their own hands, and why should they let their subordinates take all the benefits? Even though Li Yu has always advertised himself as an open-minded emperor, he is quite dissatisfied with Gao Chongwen and Li Yu. Therefore, before the start of the Ziqing fight, Li Yu issued an edict, clearly pointing out that the generals did not have the right to dispose of the captured generals, and all the captured civil and military officials were handed over to the imperial court. If the general needs the city's favor, the court will cooperate with the singing of the double reed.

In this way, Wang Pei's act of killing the prisoners also violated the edict of the imperial court, and he was not afraid that the imperial court would punish him? I'm sorry, Wang Pei is really not afraid.

Of course, there is a reason for this. In fact, Wang Pei's kind of generals who killed all the light, whether it was Li Yu or other emperors, would verbally condemn or punish them slightly and secretly happy, such generals were ruthless and would not buy people's hearts, who was not at ease? Historically, the more discredited the general is, the more suspicious, and the worse the reputation, the more trusted, and this is why. Therefore, Wang Jian wantonly begged for a reward for buying land, but Yingzheng was relieved of him, so after the news of Wang Pei's killing of the captives circulated in the community, ordinary people condemned and smart people admired, but the whole court was like nothing had happened. Taking the lives of hundreds of captives not only makes the Xuanwu soldiers willing to serve their lives, but also dispels the suspicion of the imperial court, makes great contributions and can protect themselves, and they are too good at doing business. These hundreds of people, objectively speaking, are Wang Pei, as a general from a local background, a general transferred from another town, to the imperial court, to the Xuanwu army.

Caozhou and Puyang were successively broken by the official army, but Li Shidao seemed to be nothing. It's not that Li Shidao is heartless, it's that Li Shidao doesn't know at all. Since Lin Ying fled from Haizhou and brought a series of bad news, Li Shidao has been seriously ill, sighing every day, not thinking about tea and dinner, punishing his family members at every turn, and occasionally suddenly becoming energetic. Calling the King of Qi did not bring Li Shidao any good luck. Mrs. Wei and the people around Li Shidao were extremely worried about him, for fear that he would not be able to stand the stimulation, so they decided to block all the bad news. Li Shidao has been calculating others since he grew up, and the result was calculated and finally calculated by the people around him, I don't know how he would feel if he knew the truth.

Li Shidao didn't know everything, but Tian Ji'an knew everything. In this sense, Tian Ji'an is much happier than Li Shidao. It's a pity that this kind of happiness Tian Ji'an can't stand it. Contrary to the fact that there are too many people around Li Shidao talking, he is the only one who makes decisions around Tian Ji'an. Ziqing was defeated one after another, Yunzhou was in danger, Xue Ping led 10,000 people to Heyang (Xue Ping's father Xue Song was Wei Bo's first Jiedu envoy), and Fan Xichao led Shuofang and Hedong to arrive in Dingzhou with 30,000 elites in two towns, which made Tian Ji's head more and more dull and irritable. Even the news that Shi Xiancheng and He Jintao had defeated the small-scale attacks of the Heyang Army and the Yiwu Army one after another did not make him happy, and even the letter sent by Wang Chengzong two days ago was torn to shreds by him. The prescription left by Doctor Zhang has already begun to use the most powerful one.
