The old minister returns
The capital of Jianghuai was originally in Yangzhou.
Long before Sun Ru caused trouble in Jianghuai, the famous general Gao Biao couldn't suppress his generals and fought in a scuffle.
Gao Biao was imprisoned and killed by his subordinate general Bi Shiduo, and Jianghuai was in chaos.
In the city of Yangzhou, hunger killed each other for food, and wives, sons and daughters were also sold to slaughterhouses.
By the time Yang Xingmi conquered Yangzhou, Yangzhou was already crippled.
Sun Ru in the northwest rolled down, and preyed on a large number of Jianghuai people, and Yangzhou was even more declining.
Yang Xingmi had no choice but to attack Xuanzhou, and after capturing Xuanzhou, Yang Xingmi had a foothold.
After the defeat of Sun Ru, the states south of the Huai River and east of the Yangtze River surrendered one after another.
Today's Xuanzhou is the capital of Jianghuai, the city is full of traffic, densely populated, and the degree of wealth is by no means below Bianzhou.
"Zhu Quanzhong left Pang Shigu's 60,000 troops to defend Xuzhou, which is quite a southern look!" Yang Xingmi is forty and three this year, for a male man, such an age is the time to show his ambitions, Jianghuai has always been the Tang Dynasty's money and food, although there have been many wars, but two years have passed, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the warehouses everywhere have been sufficient.
"It is precisely because Pang Shigu's 60,000 army is in Xuzhou that his subordinates have concluded that Zhu Wen has no intention of going south." The person who spoke was Yang Xingmi's chief strategist, Yuan Xi.
When Yang Xingmi was still the assassin of Luzhou, Yuan Xi often lobbied Yang Xingmi: "Gao Biao is confused, Lu Yongzhi is treacherous, Bi Shiduo is rebellious, and the heavens are Huainan to grant Ming Gongye." “
It was also Yuan Xi who advised Yang Xingmi to abandon Yangzhou and seize Xuanzhou.
Yang Xingmi stabbed history from a state, swept Jianghuai, and repeatedly defeated strong enemies, which was inseparable from the strategizing of Yuan Xi, Dai Yougui and others.
Now that Yuan Xi said that Zhu Wen had no intention of going south to Jianghuai, Yang Xingmi was naturally happy.
No one wanted to face Zhu Wen's Xuanwu army.
Yang Xingmi is very self-aware, and it is this self-knowledge that has given him his status today.
Yuan Xi continued: "Zhu Wen's concern, only Shatuo Li Ke uses, Li Ke does not attack the river, Zhu Quanzhong will attack Jianghuai, the river is rich, the population is extremely prosperous, Li Ke is like a tiger with wings, how can Zhu Quanzhong be indifferent?" “
"What Mr. said is very true, so that our army can attack Suzhou, Hangzhou and Qianmiao!" In Yang Xingmi's eyes, Qian Miao has always been his confidant.
After Sun Ru's defeat, most of the Cai soldiers were taken under Yang Xingmi's command to form the Black Cloud Capital.
But some of them were taken in by Qian Mu to form Wuyongdu.
If Yang Xingmi is plotting against Jiangnan, the first thing he has to face is Qian Miao of Zhejiang West Road.
At this time, Qian Miao, who was in Hangzhou, was a little anxious.
The reason is that his old boss Dong Chang is ready to be the emperor.
Qian Miao had long known Dong Chang's ambitions, and wrote many letters to advise: "Instead of closing the door and being the son of heaven, it is better to open the door and be a marshal." “
Dong Chang also listened to his advice for the first two years, and worshiped the imperial court without defects, but in the past two years, I don't know whether he is old or confused, he is doing mischief in the territory, killing people at every turn because of small mistakes, and the people in the territory are full of complaints, except for Qian Gong, no one dares to persuade, a few days ago, he actually sent someone directly to say hello, and he has been called the emperor in Yuezhou, and the country name is "Da Yue Luoping", calling himself a saint.
Yang Xingmi was eyeing the outside, Dong Chang was perverse, and Qian Gong was very frightened.
Changan.
The movement in the river is getting louder and louder, making it difficult for Li Ye to sleep and eat.
Don't look at him making a fuss in Guanzhong, if Zhu Wen really comes in, everything will disappear.
Xue Guangheng's scouts kept investigating the movements in the river day and night.
Zhu Wen did not return to the army to attack Li Keyong at the first time, which made Li Ye slightly surprised, but after thinking about it a little, he felt normal, just like a fist, before hitting someone, he had to take it back and accumulate strength.
All kinds of material resources in Bianzhou are constantly sent to Luoyang.
In recent years, under the rule of Zhang Quanyi, Luoyang recruited displaced people, encouraged cultivation, made great efforts, and was supported by the people.
In this battle in the river, the importance of Luoyang was highlighted.
The materials in Guanzhong are also being sent to Tongguan and Tongzhou in batches.
Pu Han was currently in the hands of Wang Ke, but because of the importance of this place, Li Ye built several forts on the other side of the Yellow River, and visited the movements on the other side of the river day and night.
Zhou Yunyi also set up a military camp on the mountain on the side of Pusaka.
Wang Ke was also generous and turned a blind eye to this.
Hazhong Province and Puzhou did not fall, and Kasaka was relatively safe.
The main pressure was in Tongguan and Yuzhou, especially in Yuzhou, where there were only four thousand defenders, and the defender was Li Xiaoqi, one of the first nine like Zhang Xingjin.
However, on the opposite side is Liu Zhijun, a well-known fierce general in history, and Li Ye is completely empty.
Seeing that Zhu Wen was about to enter the river, the court was also in chaos.
Someone proposed to comfort Zhu Wen, the key is that Zhu Wen is now the king of Liang, and there is no seal and no reward.
Some people also proposed to join forces with Li Keyong to attack Zhu Wen together, of course, this is also looking for death.
"Cui Shilang, what do you think?" Zhu Wen didn't come before, Cui Yin cried and shouted for Zhu Wen to come, but now that Zhu Wen is here, Cui Yin is silent.
The more this is the case, the more bottomless Li Ye's heart becomes.
The party that leads the way is more terrible than the enemy.
Of course, Cui Yin did not want to defect to Zhu Wen directly, but wanted to borrow Zhu Wen's hand to suppress all forces in the court and let him enter the position of the first ruler.
However, it is easier to invite God than to send God, and Zhu Wen is not a small character who comes and goes when he is called.
As soon as he entered the customs, it was difficult for Li Ye to be an emperor of Han Xian.
And Zhu Wen is much more ambitious than Cao Cao, when he was just an envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, he had the heart to compete for the world.
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the ministers are shallow in their learning, so they don't dare to talk about it." Cui Yin was actually humble.
Li Ye's eyes widened, is this still the Cui Yin he knows?
"However, the minister recommended an old man to His Majesty, this person is a high eight buckets, both civil and military, a hundred times the victory of the minister, His Majesty was the weight of Mount Tai, military affairs, all entrusted to him, the current situation, is the time to reuse this person." Cui Yin bowed his hand very humbly.
The weight of Mount Tai, both civil and military?
Li Ye really didn't remember that Zhaozong had such a good person.
However, now is the chaotic era at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of cattle people have sprung up, and it seems not strange to have such people.
"Xuan."
Cui Yin's words completely aroused the curiosity of Li Ye and other ministers.
Li Ye looked at the door of the palace with blank eyes.
After a while, a person outside the hall cried, "Your Majesty, the old minister is fortunate to be able to return to Your Majesty." “
The people haven't arrived yet, and there's a lot of movement.
The ministers of the palace also looked out of the hall.
I saw a scribe in his teens and forties, kneeling in from outside the temple, kowtowing step by step, and his forehead was full of blood, which flowed to his face, so that everyone could not see who it was.
Li Ye glanced at Cui Yin.
Cui Yin's eyes looked at his nose and nose, as if he hadn't seen anything.
Or Cui Zhaowei approached him, looked carefully, and said in surprise: "Isn't this Zhang Jun Zhang Yuchuan?" Why aren't you dead yet? “
