In the fifth year of Yuanhe, on the second day of the second month of February, the Tang Emperor Li Chun, under the protection of tens of thousands of elites, stepped into Jixian County with a proud attitude.

As the seat of Lulong/Youzhou, the ownership of Jixian County also represents the belonging of Lulong, the most powerful in the Tang Dynasty.

In the past 60 years, the Li family, the Zhu family, the Liu family, and the Wang family have successively controlled Lulong, and the banner of Jixian County has been constantly changing.

During the era when the Li, Zhu, Liu, and Wang clans controlled Jixian, these warlords put their greed, madness, and tyranny into their wildness.

Especially after raising troops to rebel, in order to continue to confront the imperial court, Liu Zong and Wang Chengzong carried out bloody suppression and killing, which made Jixian, Lu Long, and all the people of Hebei frightened.

On the contrary, those who broke into Jixian were either elite cavalry from Shuofang and Zhenwu, or the central army dominated by the Changying Army and the Tiance Army, which essentially implemented the forbidden army regulations with the Changying Army as the core and template.

Under the strict regulations of the forbidden army, neither style nor anything else was comparable to that of other armies of the same era.

Compared with the feeling of precariousness and restlessness under the bloody and brutal decades before, after Guo Rong led his troops to raid Jixian County, although it was only less than two months, but in less than two months, the strict military discipline and tough style of the imperial court brought a sense of peace and stability to the people of Jixian County.

At least in the hearts of the people of Jixian County, the king's teacher should be like this, and only this is worthy of the king's teacher.

So, when Li Chun entered Jixian County, he enjoyed the kind of call like a tsunami of mountains and the treatment of a king's teacher like a pot pulp.

After entering the former Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Li Chun, accompanied by Guo Rong and a number of army generals, ascended the tower of Jixian County.

Standing on the tower of Jixian County, looking at the field from north to south, Li Chun's body rose with an indescribable pride.

Compared with Li Chun, who was full of pride, Guo Rong, who was standing behind Li Chun's side, thought of the red flower planter.

Although Guo Rong knows that the current Jixian County is not the same as the imperial capital of later generations, the city tower of Jixian County in front of him is not the same as the place that carries the memory of the flower planter in later generations.

However, what Guo Rong was thinking in his heart was the teacher's words that cleared up the gloomy history of the flower planter, just like now.

Since the Tianbao period, Hebei has always been the biggest hidden danger within the Tang Dynasty. During the window period, this is a time bomb, which may completely tear the entire Datang internally at any time.

Even in a relatively stable period, it is frantically absorbing nutrients from the entire Datang with the posture of a malignant tumor.

Now, by removing this time bomb and malignant tumor, the explosive development of Datang will be unstoppable, which means that the road to the west that he hopes for will receive a greater degree of support.

In a good mood, Guo Rong didn't mind giving Li Chun a sycophant, so he stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and bowed his hand.

"Your Majesty, I have cleared the rebels in Hebei and successfully taken back Hebei, and now the biggest hidden danger within my Datang has been completely eliminated, and the minister Guo Rong congratulates the Tang Dynasty and Your Majesty!" Guo Rong didn't matter this time, also on the top of the city tower, more than a dozen generals of the forbidden army, border army, and local army who followed behind Guo Rong followed Guo Rong's movements at the same time, and knelt on one knee in unison.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations for the Tang Dynasty!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Datang Wansheng!" At first, the voice was only a dozen generals on the castle tower, but then the voice began to spread rapidly outward.

Above the city tower, the sergeants on duty, under the city tower, the soldiers lined up in the Wengcheng school field in Jixian County, inside and outside Jixian County, ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty......

"Hooray!"

"Wan Sheng!" The shouts of one after another quickly spread over the entire Jixian County, and the entire Jixian County was ignited at this moment, directly immersed in this indescribable surging.

Feeling this atmosphere, Li Chun walked to the edge of the city tower alone, looking at the soldiers and civilians under the city tower and waving.

This kind of reaction, even the initiator Guo Rong was stunned for a while, because this was not the effect he wanted to achieve, this excitement became excited, and what he wanted to say later had no chance at all.

However, it is obvious that Li Chun enjoys this feeling of worship of all the people very much, so Guo Rong also has to stand quietly aside, so that Li Chun can enjoy this glory that belongs to him alone.

Just when Guo Rong was a little depressed, a messenger had already ascended the city tower and sent a military report to Luo Chinese, who was also above the city tower.

After tearing open the ink clay, taking out the military newspaper, and reading the contents inside, Luo Chinese's originally calm face took on a touch of worry, and walked quickly to Guo Rong's side.

"General, this is an urgent military report from the west of Liaoning."

"Liaoxi?" Hearing the direction of the military newspaper, Guo Rong's brows furrowed slightly, and then he took the military newspaper from Luo Chinese's hand and read it carefully.

After finishing the reading, Guo Rong's frown deepened a little, his expression became extremely serious, and he gently spit out a name in his mouth.

An Zongyu! An Zongyu was appointed by President Liu to assassinate Pingzhou, and led 50,000 elite Lu Longbing soldiers to defend Liaoxi according to President Liu's orders.

In the case of Wang Chengzong's suicide and the Hebei rebels were invincible, only An Zongyu, who was sticking to Pingzhou, relied on the terrain and topography of western Liaoning, and the 50,000 elites in his hands to swear to the death.

Although I don't know where An Zongyu got the confidence, but in the face of this kind of diehard, Guo Rong's consistent style will naturally not indulge.

Under the severe cold, it was inconvenient for the main force in the direction of Jixian County to advance eastward, but the partial division led by Dong Jia from Cangzhou to the north also came to the city in a timely manner.

When Dong Jia's subordinates arrived, An Zongyu, who had been holding his neck, no longer said that he would not surrender, but put forward a request for negotiation and put forward a series of conditions for submission.

On the issue of An Zongyu, Guo Rong and Li Chun had certain differences. From a purely military and geopolitical point of view, Guo Rong believes that An Zongyu has only two fates in the case of absolute superiority, the first is to surrender unconditionally, and the second is to be pushed flat by the army and killed directly.

There is no need at all, and there should be no negotiation with An Zongyu. If you dare to resist, then kill it directly, even if the cost is a little bigger, it doesn't matter, the key is to clean up.

From a personal point of view, if An Zongyu swears to die for President Liu, Guo Rong will really look up to him, but when the soldiers and horses don't arrive, they will swear to die, and the soldiers and horses will start to talk about the conditions as soon as they arrive.

However, Li Chun's perspective is not only about the battlefield and attrition, but also involves political considerations and games.

In Li Chun's view, the battles of Jiaodong, Bianzhou, Zhenzhou, and Jixian, under the flat push, recovered Hebei, which has fully demonstrated the strength of Datang and the toughness of Datang.

Now accepting An Zongyu's surrender through Huairou can not only save a lot of money, food, soldiers and horses, but also show his broad-mindedness, and more importantly, he can recover Pingzhou in the shortest possible time, so that he can quickly return to the court.

In order to strive for An Zongyu's return as soon as possible, so that his personal expedition could end perfectly, Li Chun not only agreed to An Zongyu's request, but also gave An Zongyu enough generous conditions.

Not only is it not held accountable, but it is also allowed to retain wealth, and private soldiers with less than 100 people are allowed, and after successful completion, they will be awarded the title of county marquis for their meritorious service.

The county marquis is not the top title in the Tang Dynasty, but it is also a real marquis from the three products.

This is a feudal marquis! This is something that Li Guang has pursued all his life and has never had the opportunity to get. And An Zongyu doesn't need to fight, he doesn't need to kill the enemy, all he needs to do is surrender, but now...... After more than ten breaths, Guo Rong picked up the military newspaper in his hand again, and after scanning it, Guo Rong closed his eyes, and a map of Liaodong and Liaoxi appeared in his mind.

After dozens of breaths, when Guo Rong opened his eyes, his frowning brows had already relaxed, and the serious expression on his face had completely subsided.

"Chinese, go and prepare, maybe we will go on the expedition soon." Although he knew that the situation in western Liaoning had changed now, Luo Chinese was still quite surprised when he suddenly heard Guo Rong talk about going on the expedition.

With Luo Chinese's understanding of Guo Rong and the cooperation between the two over the years, Luo Chinese knows that the expedition that Guo Rong said is likely to really go out.

"General, didn't the original plan say that it would wait until after the beginning of spring, although it is indeed a bit troublesome for An Zongyu and the fifth round to collude together to counterattack Pingzhou, but it will not affect the overall situation, and it is a bit too hasty to attack now." However, Guo Rong shook his head.

"Tian Ji'an surrendered, Mr. Liu died, Wang Chengzong committed suicide, even a fool knows that the entire Hebei has completely changed, and rebellion is a dead end, coupled with the favorable conditions offered by His Majesty, this is why all states and counties in Hebei took the initiative to surrender, and the entire Hebei was quickly pacified."

"Now, in the entire Hebei Province, only An Zongyu has 50,000 Lulong elites in his hands, plus the remoteness of western Liaoning, and the winter is cold and stubborn."

"If he just resists stubbornly, it doesn't matter, at most he is the remnant of the Hebei rebellion, we can not rush to clean him up, and we can even talk slowly, even if I ask Your Majesty again to give him some rights and interests, it doesn't matter, but it is different if he colludes with the fifth round now." Listening to Guo Rong's words, Luo Chinese also nodded incessantly, and at the same time echoed.

"Yes, as long as you peacefully lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to surrender to Cheng, not only will you not be held accountable and allow you to retain your wealth, but you will also be awarded the title of the county marquis with the merit of surrendering, the conditions approved by Your Majesty are generous enough, and this wolf's ambition should be cut by a thousand knives!"

"Yes, the conditions allowed by His Majesty are generous enough, but as a result, An Zongyu, a bastard, doesn't surrender, and now he is colluding with the fifth round, and after having the fifth round as a backer, he took advantage of the opportunity that our army did not arrive to start a counterattack on Pingzhou, this is the way to die, and more importantly, ......" Guo Rong narrowed his eyes.

"Now there are too many people watching, they want to know what they will wait for after rejecting Huairou, since they want to see, then they can only satisfy them, Your Majesty can have mistakes, but everyone must know that the price of all this is not something they can afford, like this, Chinese."

"General!"

"You go and prepare all the materials in Liaoxi and Liaodong first, and let the staff officers study the possibility of attacking Pingzhou, Yingzhou, and Anton in February, and I will discuss it with Your Majesty later, and if it is feasible, after the ceremony is completed, we will discuss it."

"Yes!" After Luo Chinese received the order, he left from the city tower. After hearing Guo Rong's last few words, especially Luo Chinese's departure, a small climax was set off in the circle behind him among the forbidden troops such as the Changying Army, the Tiance Army, and Zuo Wuwei, the border armies such as the Shuofang Army and the Zhenwu Army, and the local army generals such as the Tianxiong Army and the Lubei Army.

It's very simple, soldiers, all they want is martial arts, and there is only one way to get martial arts, and that is the battlefield.

From the Central Plains to Jiaodong, from Jiaodong back to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to Hebei, all those present today are the heroes who made meritorious contributions in the pacification of Hebei and Jiaodong rebellions.

However, is there still a lot of people who can't do this thing! More importantly, now that the Hebei rebellion has been put down and the civil strife has been eliminated, today's Datang has a faint feeling of the Zhenguan era.

As for the Zhenguan era, it was a song and dance in the Tang Dynasty, and soldiers and soldiers could only go to places outside the territory if they wanted to win military merits.

In fact, there are not even too many opportunities to use troops abroad, and for the few opportunities to go out to fight, the generals of the Zhenguan Dynasty have broken their heads one by one.

And now, supporting troops in western and eastern Liaoxi will also become the last chance. With the location and climate of Liaodong and Liaoxi, it is destined that there will not be a million-strong army like Pingding Hebei, and among the generals present, some people are destined to participate, and some people cannot participate.

And Guo Rong didn't care, after all, the voice of Guo Rong and Luo Chinese's discussion has always been not too small, and many people around them could have heard it, and Guo Rong had no intention of hiding this matter.

In fact, in Guo Rong's view, it is not a bad thing to let the generals prepare in advance. Then he stepped forward and walked behind Li Chun, who was still in a state of intoxication, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not take the initiative to break Li Chun's state, but chose to wait quietly.

A full quarter of an hour later, when Li Chun finally withdrew from that state of excitement, Guo Rong followed one step at a time.

"Your Majesty, there has been a military report from the western part of Liaoning."

"Oh, what's the situation?"

"Your Majesty, An Zongyu rejected Your Majesty's appeasement."

"This rebel thief!"

"Your Majesty, An Zongyu not only rejected His Majesty's appeasement, but also colluded with the fifth round of cholera Liaodong who replaced Li Shidao, and has already set off from Yingzhou to attack Pingzhou." While speaking, Guo Rong stretched out his hand and handed the paper carrying the military newspaper to Li Chun.

Regarding Li Chun's possible reaction, Guo Rong is full of expectations. This young emperor, however, had just regained Hebei that had been divided for decades through the imperial driver's personal expropriation, and had achieved a task that had not been completed by several generations of kings.

Guo Rong bet that at this moment, Li Chun definitely hadn't recovered his composure from that state of excitement.

In this kind of excited, excited, and proud emotion, it is strange that the whole person does not jump up when he suddenly hears such news.
