Half a month ago, people were still panicking, but in just half a month, a stable situation appeared in the whole of Hebei, and after returning to Bianzhou, Guo Rong himself was also very confused.

Although the way to achieve this effect is so bloody, terrifying, and violent. At the beginning, Guo Rong even regretted a little, should he not let the team repair, should not go to Liaodong, but should mobilize all the soldiers, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of fatigue, cross the big river, all the way north...... It's just that this kind of thought is only for a moment, and everything has a limit.

After exerting force, it is true that the bullet yellow can be pressed down, but the greater the force, the greater the rebound force of the bullet yellow in the future.

The rearmament of Hebei seems to be hindering the progress of the Northern Expedition, but the perverse actions of the three towns of Hebei will really entrench themselves in Hebei for thousands of years, and the deep-rooted wealthy families and gate valves will be uprooted.

Once Hebei is really pacified this time, it will mean that Datang will get a complete perfect land without any gate valve remaining.

The potential and value of such land simply cannot be measured in terms of money or anything. Moreover, although Wei Bo, Chengde, and Lu Long reorganized their armies, veterans and recruits are different.

Before the rebellion and the expansion of the army, the three towns of Hebei had 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers, all of whom were veterans of the battlefield, well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness was really powerful, especially Wei Boya's soldiers.

With the rebellion, the three towns of Hebei frantically expanded their army, and in less than a year, the number of rebels was forcibly expanded to a million scale.

Especially Lu Long, Mr. Liu scraped the ground, and the army was expanded to 500,000 in just one family, in addition to the 100,000 soldiers and horses who were stubbornly guarding the western Liaoning corridor, there were also a full 400,000 soldiers and horses that could allow him to put his soldiers and horses into various battlefields.

The scale has expanded, but the quality of the soldiers, combat effectiveness, and will to fight have inevitably declined, but because there are enough veterans as support, the combat effectiveness is still beyond that of ordinary feudal soldiers.

However, the main force of more than 500,000 has already been killed by themselves in Henan, and Wei Bo, Chengde, and Lu Long can indeed forcibly recruit strong men to fill the army, but this will further dilute the combat effectiveness.

After two dilutions, the combat effectiveness of the remaining Hebei Army can reach the level of the southern army soldiers, which is probably already thankful.

Compared with the Hebei rebel army, whose combat effectiveness has been greatly diluted, the new army preparing for the Northern Expedition with the Changying Army as the core has gone through a month of replenishment, rest, and reorganization, and is at a high level in terms of physical strength and morale.

Under the advantages of the other, coupled with Li Yu's royal conquest...... Thinking of the royal conquest, Guo Rong put down the text, and the next letterhead was replaced with the handwriting of Li Chun, who Guo Rong was very familiar with.

Seeing the above content, Guo Rong understood. Li Chun's fundamental purpose is not far from what he speculated.

Although he has been on the throne for more than four years, in the eyes of the vast majority of ordinary people, Li Chun is just a puppet who has been under the protection of Emperor Li Yu for four years.

Perhaps, the Emperor Taishang is merciful, for the sake of his own son, so that Li Chun has some power, but in essence, the real master of the Tang Dynasty is still the Emperor Taishang!

The earth-shaking achievements of the Tang Dynasty should also be counted on the Emperor Taishang, and the emperor Li Chun was just under the shadow of the Emperor Taishang.

These statements can't be wrong, and even Li Chun himself doesn't deny it, but that's not all.

It is true that he does not hold the supreme power, but he presides over the government affairs by himself, promotes the reforms by himself, promotes personnel from his own hands, and allocates money and grain from the state treasury himself.

The only ones that are not under his control are the forbidden army, as well as the royal Neku and Li Yu's own private money.

Although he does not control the forbidden army, he has his own opinions on all military operations, and he is not much different from his father in this regard.

As for the private money of Neiku and Li Yu, although it is not in Li Chun's hands, Li Chun clearly knows that all the money in it is used by his father to raise soldiers...... With Li Chun's understanding of Li Yu, this is simply not too normal.

The emperor, who has scavenged countless amounts of money from the palms of nobles, wealthy families, gate lords, and giants, is not even willing to give up his own mausoleum, and the slow progress of the Chixian mausoleum makes the turtles cry.

As a result, for the sake of the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, the Zaifu in the court were forced to set aside a part of the money from the household department and transfer it to the past.

As a result, the money and grain were finally squeezed out the day before, and the next day, Li Yu, who got the news, embezzled not a single copper plate from the reserved funds, and as a result, he almost killed the Zaifu who operated this matter.

The purpose of the appropriation is simple and pitiful, either to raise soldiers, or to study the technology of injecting steam engines, but not a penny is spent on the family itself.

Even the money set aside by the household department to repair the mausoleum for him was taken by Li Yu to raise soldiers, not to mention the inner treasury and private money, Li Chun was naturally not interested in the inner treasury and private money.

Of course, more importantly, Li Chun thinks that although his father's approach is a bit extreme, there is nothing wrong with it in essence.

In the final analysis, everything left by his father is his own, and without a loyal and strong army around him, I am afraid that I will not even be able to sleep peacefully.

Although his father does control the supreme power, in a sense, his own emperor is not much different from a real emperor.

It's just that not many people know this, that is, the important ministers who come into contact with Li Chun every day will know the inside story of this, but who will take these things out and talk nonsense?

Therefore, Li Chun's identity as a hypocritical emperor made him a little embarrassed and uncomfortable. Li Yu was fine when he was alive, and Li Chun could still maintain a sense of stability.

Now Li Yu has passed away, but Li Chen's influence among the people and scholars has not decreased but increased, and now there is a tendency to surpass Taizong.

Regarding his father's prestige, it is false to say that he is not jealous at all, but Li Chun also knows that everything his father has obtained should be.

It's just that understanding is understanding, and recognition is recognition, but the image of his own father and emperor who is so high among the people makes himself, the real emperor, seem extremely embarrassing.

Datang's internal affairs are handled by themselves! Datang's change is led by itself! Since the Anshi Rebellion, it can be called

The crisis of "the whole world attacking Tang" was thwarted under his own leadership! Li Chun has experienced a lot and worked hard, but the degree of recognition he received cannot be compared with his father at all.

It's slightly better in the court. First of all, the important ministers of the court have a lot of contact with themselves, and they have to communicate with each other in specific government affairs, and they know that they are not robots.

According to Guo Rong's suggestion, he carried out experimental reforms, although on the surface he handed over part of his power, but it made himself gain a great reputation among the courtiers, and more importantly, he completed the whole process and firmly grasped the real power of the court.

However, among the people, the prestige of his father has reached a real peak among the people. In the eyes of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, he was disgraced in front of his father, and he was still the child who grew up under his father's wings.

Under Pei Zhi's brewing, his father's deathbed battle was perfect. Zhang Jieyi honestly put his father's coffin and remains at the head of Chen Cang City, echoing and dying with Chen Cang, and making the image of his father and emperor with a kind of heroism.

The reason why his father's prestige can reach its peak after his death is of course related to his deliberate publicity, and more importantly, the total explosion accumulated by his father since his abdication.

What makes Li Chun cry and laugh even more is that the glorious image of his father is of great significance to Datang. In a sense, his father's tenaciousness and unyielding have become the most important spiritual pillar supporting the entire Tang Dynasty.

Not only can he not hurt the image of his father, but he must also maintain this spiritual power as much as possible until Datang embarks on a real revival.

If Li Chun was an emperor who had neither ambition nor mediocrity, then perhaps this wordless shelter brought by Li Yu would be very welcome.

With the help of what his father left behind, honestly maintain the Tang Empire, honestly maintain and develop, and be the emperor for twenty years, the Tang Dynasty is on the right track, and when the children and grandchildren grow up, it is not impossible to hand over the Tang Empire on the road to rejuvenation to their children and grandchildren.

But who is Li Chun? Mediocre and comfortable are not Li Chun's life labels! Big-minded and swallowing the whole world is the character label of Li Chun that Guo Rong thinks is appropriate.

In the past, in order to reduce the relationship between Li Yu and Li Chun's father and son, and reduce the contradiction between their father and son, Guo Rong deliberately threw out a world map on the outline, and popularized it to a certain extent.

And Guo Rong's unintentional move opened up an unimaginable vision for Li Chun, and inserted a pair of dreams and ambition wings for Li Chun, making Li Chun's heart bigger and broader.

How could such a Li Chun, who thinks that he should have the four seas in his mind and the eight wildernesses in his hands, can he be willing to live in the shadow of his father for the rest of his life.

If Li Chun wants to get rid of the shadow of Li Yu on himself, he must find something that can surpass Li Yu.

Li Chun has seriously studied his father's life. In the first half of his life, his father's life was uneventful, but after the abdication, his father was like a hanger.

The strict scheming and the super control made the court, the nobles, and the wealthy feel boundless fear.

As for the source of all things for the people...... Comes from, the earth-shattering siege of Xingqing Palace, comes from, after the rebellion was quelled, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the oath of the king died in Sheji, from the behavior of dragging a crippled body to defend Chang'an and Xingqing Palace at the most difficult time.

That's right

"It's not that I'm very good, it's all up to the foil of my peers", because of the foil of those previous generations of running emperors, it is difficult to think about the image of my father!

As for the second point, it comes from the Tang Dynasty under the escort of Guo Rong and the newly formed forbidden army. Out of Tongguan, in Luoyang to deter the Shandong Gate Valve, into the Central Plains, deter Xuanwu, descend to Huaixi, attack Yunzhou at night, destroy Pinglu, go north to Hebei, the entire three towns of Hebei dare not act rashly, even if there is only information exposed to ordinary people, it is enough to make all the people feel the eloquence of the Tang Emperor.

As for the third point, the battle of Chencang Road, the perfect curtain call of the father, the defensive battle of Chencang, sticking to the front line with the remains, truly achieved that the city is in the people, and the city is dead, and this time is unprecedented!

Isn't this the living interpretation of the Son of Heaven guarding the country and the death of the king in front of the people. Under the superposition of these unprecedented things, Li Chun knew that it was there

It is impossible to compare this aspect with that of the father. Even in the entire history of China, from the perspective of guarding Huaxia and guarding the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for anyone to be comparable to his father.

Since he can't compare to his father in defense, all Li Chun can do is surpass his father in offense.

To attack, it is necessary to choose the most suitable target, and after the intention of attacking Tang was shattered, the enemy in the east, center, and west was placed in front of Li Chun.

While the western part resisted the attack of the Tibetans, the main force of the Hebei rebels was annihilated in the middle, and the conspiracy of Li Shidao was exposed on the eastern front, the situation in the world was relatively stable at present.

In the west, the strength of the Tubo people is not weak, coupled with Liu Pi's defection, the possibility of being completely annihilated into the army of Kou Tubo is very small.

In fact, with regard to Tibet, it is difficult to completely eradicate Tibet unless the country exerts its strength, which has almost become the consensus of the entire Tang Dynasty.

And now, no matter from which point of view, Li Chun can't immediately mobilize the power of the country...... Of course, the most important reason is not here, because from five years ago, when Guo Rong arrived in Chang'an to meet Li Yu, the true fate of the Tubo people had been decided.

Guo Rong, such a capable, loyal, and persevering guy who is dedicated to getting through Hexi and rescuing Qiuzi is the best striker in such a battle to destroy the country.

The testament of his father has actually pointed out the time of this war to destroy the country: three years! Datang needs to continue to develop in the past three years...... Guo Rong and the generals needed to spend these three years training soldiers...... The imperial court needs to spend these three years stockpiling grain, grass, materials, and personnel for this largest war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty...... At the east end, to be honest, Li Shidao did exceed everyone's expectations.

Li Shidao deceived the well-liked Emperor Li Yu, deceived the bold and careful Guo Rong, deceived the thoughtful Chen Hongzhi, and deceived almost everyone in the land of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, when Li Yu and Li Chun's father and son received the news that Guo Rong speculated that Li Shidao was likely to have rebelled in Chang'an, they felt an indescribable shock.

In this kind of world-wide attack on Tang, the position of Jiaodong is too important. In the northwest of the Jiaodong Peninsula is Hebei Town, where Li Yu served as the Jiedu envoy, and Lubei Town, where Zhang Yu served as the Jiedu Envoy, and Lubei and Hebei were the frontiers and hubs of the imperial court to contain the three towns in Hebei.

In the southwest of the Jiaodong Peninsula, Yanhai and Jianghuai are not powerful feudal towns, but these two places are indeed rich in the world, and they are the lifeblood of the real economic source of the imperial court.

Jiaodong Jimo, Laoshan, is the navigation base of Datang, but also the location of the largest sailor, losing here, it means that it is more difficult to enter the deep sea, and losing the sailor means that Zhenghai will become a girl who has lost her clothes in front of Li Shidao.

At this critical moment, when no one was defenseless, if Li Shidao suddenly did something, it would be absolutely disastrous.

Merely......
