Chapter 107: Luobei Watching the Soldiers

What does this news say? In modern parlance, challenges and opportunities coexist. There is both the challenge of renewed tension in the current easing situation, and the opportunity to solve the Heshuo problem, but the key depends on how this determination is made.

"Tian Xing, Tian Xing, you have a problem for me."

Li Yu thought blankly. Before Pei Du set off, Tian Xing and Wei Bozhong caused such a big turmoil, and it was inevitable that there would be criticism in the DPRK and China. Many people originally suspected that Tian Xing was insincere in leading Wei Bo to return to the dynasty, who would want to cut three states outside for no reason? There are also some people who are eager to try and want military merits, and they also wish that things would make a big fuss, and the imperial court ordered the strong army returning to the west to return to the battlefield, and they also made a name for themselves in the chaos. On the day of Tian Xing's surprise attack on Beizhou, more than ten generals wrote to him, some of whom reprimanded Tian Xing, and some of whom accused Wang Chengzong, and finally said in a secretive or arrogant manner that he was willing to lead 3,000 tigers to "clarify Hebei for His Majesty", which made Li Yu upset. I didn't know where these heroes had gone.

Since Tian Xing led Wei Bo to return to the court, the army surrounded near Wei Bo has slowly retreated, Shuofang soldiers and horses have returned to the town, Hedong soldiers and horses have also retreated to the north of Chengde, Huainan, Xuanxi, Zhongwu, Wuning, Xuanwu soldiers and horses have returned to the town, the guards and other armies from Guanzhong have retreated to the vicinity of Luoyang, Li Yuanyi's headquarters has even returned to Fengtian, and some of the elites of the guards have even reached Fengxiang and Xia Sui. Li Chun, Li Yuan, Quan Deyu and others, who had been trembling for almost a year, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Autumn is coming soon, the autumn is high and the horses are fat, just for war and recreation, Tubo and Hui are not good stubble, waiting to take advantage of the autumn grain to grab a handful, and the border generals are also waiting for the return of the army, to recover part of the lost land. Duan You said in the book that the soldiers were panicking just by watching the lively fighting in the east. Liu Shu said in the book that the old minister is already old, and if he doesn't give the old minister a chance, he will never have a chance to drive for His Majesty. As for Hao Jue, he thinks about calamity to the Tibetan people all day long. Li Yu, Li Guangjin, Li Guangyan, Wu Chongyin, Yan Qin, Wang Pei and even Hou Weiqing have all become famous generals at home, how can he and a border evil general like Ye Shi Liangfu be willing to be the queen?

And the opinion of the ruling ministers led by Lu Zhen and Wu Yuanheng was to see if they could calm things down and try to make this matter as small as possible. Lu Zhen said:

"Since the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court has used troops for three consecutive years, the manpower has gradually become tired, the finances have gradually become exhausted, autumn is coming, the northwest is in great trouble, and the re-use of troops may be easy to be served by foreign enemies. Moreover, under the successive victories of the imperial court, it should be used with grace and power to force Chengde and Lu Long to obey, and not to blindly use troops. ”

Li Jiang also believes:

"The army has returned to the west, the soldiers have been away from their hometown for a long time, and they are homesick, if they are forced to return again, they are only afraid that the army will be resentful, and it will not be beautiful."

There are two or three opinions in the court, Wang Chengzong outside the court repeatedly claimed that Tian Xing was a traitor and thief, and would never give up with Wei Bo, but Wei Bo complained that Chengde attacked Beizhou after Wei Bo was allowed to return to the court, with bad intentions, and Wei Bo was willing to lead the court and become virtuous.

From Li Yu's point of view, there is nothing difficult to decide in this matter, because strategically speaking, the three towns of Heshuo have become frightened birds, and they will never dare to confront the imperial court again. Using the elite military power of the imperial court here is inevitably a bit overkill, putting the cart before the horse. Li Yu had even planned to let Lu Zhen go to Hebei to serve as the governor of the capital at that time. After all, the great trouble of the Tang Dynasty is in the west and north, and if Tian Xing is someone else, Li Yuhui did not hesitate to order the soldiers to return to Guanzhong in the west, and let Wei Bo and Chengde toss, but this time it was Tian Xing. Li Yu has always believed in Tian Xing, if Tian Xing really has any evil intentions, then the situation in Heshuo is worth reconsidering.

Tian Xing suddenly came up with this file, which made Li Yu difficult to decide. The ministers all said that the power of heaven is unpredictable, and it is most difficult to guess the heart of the emperor if he accompanies the king, but how do the ministers know that the emperor who is worshiped by them also feels that the emperor is difficult to be, and it is the most difficult to guess the heart of the courtiers? The emperor was most afraid of the deception and betrayal of his courtiers, and with the wisdom of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, he was finally played by Yan Song, Xu Jie, and other cadres and assistants, and was fooled for decades. Originally, Li Yu was relieved of Tian Xing, but now Tian Xing is not going step by step, and sings such a play when the situation in Hebei is about to stabilize, what does this mean?

Loyalty and treachery are not seen from the face, nor are they written in the history books, and there are even many loyal and pure courtiers, who will make rebellions when they are forced to do so, such as the former Lingnan Jiedu envoy Ge Shuyun, due to dissatisfaction with Dezong's rampant conquest and rebellion, and there are also many people who should be regarded as unscrupulous, good at judging the situation, but will win fame and get a good death, such as Han Hong, the Duke of Xu Guo, who now lives in Chang'an, is destined to get a good nickname in this life.

"If Fu Jian wins the battle of Huangshui and succeeds in attacking Jin, will those Murong clan and Yao clan rise again? I'm afraid that I will die and work hard to expand the territory for Fu Jian, and then retire and retire in Daxing City, right? ”

Somehow, Li Yu suddenly remembered the things of Chang'an in Luoyang, thought of Chang'an, and remembered the many dynasties that had disappeared in Chang'an, and then thought of a very powerful Qianqin. Suddenly, Li Yu had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The situation is stronger than the man. What can make a person loyal is the situation, not the heart. If the Sui Dynasty remained strong, Li Yuan would be the least likely to betray, and if she declined, the most loyal ministers would turn their backs on her and leave. When he was alone in danger, Tian Xing was still interested in the court, but in the current situation, why would Tian Xing play tricks? Even if he had, he shouldn't have behaved like that.

Since it's not a trick, what does Tian Xing want to do? This book is reprinted from ㄧ6k Literature Network αp.. cn

Thinking of the piled up on his desk, Li Yu completely understood that Tian Xing's mind was no different from that of these ministers in the court, but because of the different positions, the way of expression was also different.

Li Yu was completely relieved of Tian Xing, and then thought of Wang Chengzong. The general trend is so clear, even if Wang Chengzong is stubborn, he can see what it means to confront the imperial court, or to add blockage to the harmonious society of the Tang Dynasty. In that case, why is his attitude so tough?

If Tian Xing's attack on Beizhou was to show the imperial court the ability of himself and Wei Bo's army, then Wang Chengzong declared so strongly, is he also reminding the imperial court that he is also very powerful, and if the imperial court collects it, it will definitely be able to do something?

"Hehehehehe, you can use it if you want the court, but Chengde can't be separated anymore!"

Now that he has grasped the mentality of both sides of the incident, how to solve this matter Li Yu has a clear chest. Li Yu immediately commanded:

"Li Zhongyan, go and send the bachelor on duty to see you."

Not long after, Lu Wen, a Hanlin scholar on duty, was ordered to come. The two of them discussed carefully for a long time, and then Li Yu let Lu Wen go back to sleep.

The next morning, Li Yu officially announced that five days later, he would review the counterinsurgency troops stationed near Luoyang north of Luoyang. At the same time, Pei Du was ordered to continue to Wei Bo to preach comfort, and Chengde and Wei Bo sent officials to the court to explain the situation.

The officials of Chengde and Wei Bo were themselves on the road, and when they heard the emperor's edict, they naturally accelerated their progress, and arrived in Luoyang in two or three days. Chengde sent Wang Chengzong's younger brother Wang Chengyuan, while Wei Bo sent Tian Xing's eldest son, Tian Bu. The two entered Luoyang almost front and back, but arriving in Luoyang does not mean that they will be able to see the emperor. In the words of an official of the Ministry of Rites:

"The Son of Heaven has every opportunity every day, how can he summon you so quickly? Wait! ”

Tian Bu really waited honestly, and Wang Chengyuan was much smarter, and he didn't stay in the Chengde Jinyuan honestly, but walked around. After listening to the report of the Department of Grain and Straw Statistics, Li Yu smiled dumbly and said to Lu Zhen:

"These two boys, Tian Bu is a loyal minister, and Wang Chengyuan is a capable minister!"

Historically, after the death of Wang Chengzong, the generals of Chengde supported Wang Chengyuan to succeed to the throne as the envoy of the festival, but Wang Chengyuan refused, and designed to kill several of the people who opposed the most, subdued the generals of Chengde, and led Chengde to return to the dynasty. After Tian Xing's death, General Wei Bozhu forced Tian Bu to lead them to re-divide the country, and Tian Bu was forced to be helpless and actually committed suicide to thank the country. It can be seen that Li Yu's evaluation today is true.

In the past few days, Luoyang City has been very lively, since Wei Bo. After the envoy of Chengde entered the court, the newly sealed Pengcheng County King of 500 households, the history of Huazhou Thorn, and the Yicheng Festival envoy Liu Wu were summoned to Luoyang, and then, the right servant of the inspection school, the envoy of the Wuning Military Festival, the Liangguo Gong Li Yu, the left servant of the inspection school, the Zhongwu Army Jiedu envoy, Chen Guogong Li Guangyan and other famous generals who had made great achievements for countless young people to worship arrived in Luoyang successively. The arrival of these generals meant that His Majesty the Emperor's review of the counterinsurgency armies was about to begin.

On that day, the sky was blue. On that day, the wind was light.

On that day, His Majesty the Emperor was like a god, and the invincible king of the Tang Dynasty was mighty and majestic.

On that day, Pei Du arrived in Weizhou and issued an edict to seal Tian Xing as the governor of Weizhou (punish him for using swords and soldiers without permission), Wei Bojie envoy, and the Duke of Yiguo. Bestow the name Hiromasa Tada.

On that day, Wang Chengyuan took out another watch seal from his sleeve as if he were juggling.
