Through economic aggression, gradually grasp the lifeblood of the Kwantung princes, wait for Li Keyong, Zhu Wen and other sons of luck who can fight to hang up, and then recover the Kwantung region in one fell swoop, it is not a problem at all. Now Lu Renbing's body is not yet thirty years old, Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong are almost fifty years old, in this era, fifty years old is already considered an elderly population, and it is possible to go to the prefecture to report at any time, what are you worried about, stay up.

In the fourth year of Qianning, Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong's luck began to decline, and the king of luck of this year's Kanto heroes belonged to Liu Rengong of Youzhou and Yang Xingmi of Yangzhou.

At the beginning of this year, Ge Congzhou took Yanzhou and Yunzhou for Zhu Quanzhong, and Zhu Quanzhong finally occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains of Yanqing and Xu, and then Zhu Quanzhong's anger broke out, and he wanted to conquer, and the scholar Yang Xingmi, who always bullied his younger brother in the south.

So at the end of November, Zhu Quanzhong sent Ge Congzhou, Pang Shigu, two generals, to command an army of 70,000 to conquer Huainan.

As a result, Zhu Jin, a general under Yang Xingmi, seized the opportunity, first sent a naval army to break the Bianzhou army in Qingkou and capture Pang Shigu alive, and then in Haozhou, flooded Ge Congzhou, including Ge Congzhou, and only 1,000 people escaped. So far, in addition to the Niu Cunjie, which crossed the river relatively quickly, the army of Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang, marched south, and went seven or eight out of ten. The army that fled back caught up with the heavy snow in Yingzhou, and most of them froze to death.

It's really miserable and miserable, well, from now on, Yang Xingmi, the son of luck, has the area between the Yangtze River and the Huai River. has become another big enemy that makes Zhu Quanzhong blind to death.

Well, that's actually not to blame Zhu Quanzhong for getting too carried away. It was really because he heard the news that his old opponent Li Keyong had planted a big heel in Youzhou and was temporarily unable to use troops against Bianzhou, so he was relieved to boldly march south.

Well, when Li Keyong was in October, he met Liu Rengong, the son of luck of the year.

In the first year of Qianning (894), Li Keyong captured Youzhou, and Li Kuangchou fled. Liu Rengong and Fu Cun entered Youzhou, sealed the treasury and waited for Li Keyong, and Li Keyong was very happy. In the second year of Qianning (895), Li Ke used Liu Rengong as the inspector of the school and the envoy of Lu Longjun.

In the third year of Qianning (896), Li Keyong attacked Weizhou and wanted to recruit Lu Long's soldiers and horses, but Liu Rengong did not send troops on the grounds of guarding against Khitan. In the fourth year of Qianning (897), Li Ke used another army to rescue Zhu Xuan and recruited troops from Liu Rengong, but Liu Rengong did not respond, and Li Ke used more than a dozen envoys to ask for troops, but Liu Rengong never sent troops. Li Keyong personally sent a letter to Liu Rengong, and Liu Rengong scolded Li Keyong slowly, detained the messenger, and detained all the Taiyuan people in Youzhou.

Then Liu Rengong lured Li Keyong's officers with huge profits, and most of Li Keyong's subordinates switched to Liu Rengong. Li Keyong was furious and led the Hedong army and horses to conquer Youzhou, but was unexpectedly defeated by Liu Rengong in Ansai.

Then Liu Rengong gave the severed head of the Hedong Army to Zhu Quanzhong, which can be regarded as an alliance with Zhu Quanzhong. Zhu Quanzhong and Liu Rengong are the same as the middle school.

Liu Rengong was originally the son of Lu Longjie's envoy, and his own experience can be regarded as luck, but in the treatment of his benefactor Li Keyong, he is really undisciplined to the extreme.

Well, what is more undisciplined than Liu Rengong is actually Lu Renbing, facing Liu Rengong such an ungrateful goods. For the sake of the goods sent by Zhu Quanzhong and Liu Rengong. Lu Renbing still agreed to Zhu Quanzhong's request for sealing without hesitation.

I don't care about the sadness in the heart of Li Keyong, a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Regarding the fiasco of Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong, Lu Renbing was quite happy. The two major forces that are the most threatening to Lu Renbing have all been discounted, and they can't slow down for at least a few years, is there anything more happy to be an emperor than this?

Yes, that is, even Li Keyong, who has always been self-sufficient, began to buy weapons, grain and grass from His Majesty the Emperor! Not to mention Zhu Quanzhong, a major customer in Kanto. Yang Xingmi, as well as Wei Bo, Chengde, who has been masturbated by the big guy several times, and Liu Rengong, who is proud of the spring breeze, have all become Lu Renbing's customers.

Lu Renbing took the opportunity to sign a trade agreement with these feudal towns. They were asked to ensure the safety of the imperial caravans crossing the border. Failure to do so will cut off supplies to them.

If this agreement had been in the heyday of Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong, it is estimated that it would have been vetoed with a high probability. But not now, natural disasters and man-made disasters have made the economic dependence of these feudal towns on the imperial court unprecedentedly large, and the imperial court is now absolutely unoffended.

Now Lu Renbing is sitting in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Bashu, Jiaozhou, several important production areas. Under the rule of stability, bumper harvests year after year, Lu Renbing also built a large industrial and mining industry, which is simply rich and flowing.

The heroes of the Kwantung region have heard that the soldiers of ordinary states and counties under the emperor's rule are all equipped with sophisticated iron armor. The level of extravagance, outrageous.

The envoys of the various feudal towns who passed through Tongguan reported after returning that according to their observations, the passes were covered with strong bows and crossbows, as well as all kinds of strange and strange equipment for defending the city, and the soldiers were well-equipped and the morale was high, and the city walls and passes were all repaired.

Guanzhong is full of road repairs, and there are construction sites everywhere. Chang'an City, which was seriously damaged in the war, is now renovated again, making people vaguely feel like they have returned to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was a monument in the hearts of all Tang people, and even as envoys of the feudal towns, the sight of the majestic Chang'an City still inspired their excitement about the revival of the imperial court.

I don't know how many psalms, with these messengers, spread to all directions. Gradually, the feudal towns in the eastern part of the country knew that the imperial court had cheered up, and the Tang Dynasty was on the rise.

Han and Tang are eternal monuments in history, after the death of the Han Dynasty, as long as it is a troubled era, no matter Hu and Han, the preferred country name after the founding of the country is Han. After the death of the Tang Dynasty, there are still countless people with lofty ideals who are determined to restore the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has this charm.

However, Lu Renbing said that increasing steel production and national investment to drive economic growth are all basic operations.

On the basis of these basic operations, Lu Renbing continued to hold training courses for officers and strengthened his control over the army. After the power expanded to the southwest, the forbidden army under Lu Renbing once again exceeded 300,000. Lu Renbing, this is already the result of the elimination of the old and weak. In this era, it was necessary to maintain a military presence in various pass cities.

The officers trained by Lu Renbing's several guard training courses have already been dispatched. Through them, Lu Renbing firmly held the 300,000 forbidden army in his hands. Officers were transferred, border troops and forbidden armies were transferred, the General Staff Department, the Logistics Department, the Equipment Department, and the Military Supervision Department were divided into powers, and the military and government were strictly separated to ensure that these armies would not be subdivided.

After three years of combing, Nanzhao has been completely pacified. Lu Renbing began to continue the southern strategy. More than 100,000 troops rushed from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to Hunan, Guizhou, and Fujian. The secession of the feudal towns here is very weak, and it is also subservient to the center. It's just because after Huangchao, the north-south traffic was cut off, so that these large and small military leaders had the heart to stand on their own.
