439 Jiangnan came to help
"Hehe, I'm also your elder, and my nephew won't even give me a cup of tea. ”
In the Moyun Cave, Bilu Chana Buddha sat there, smiling and looking at Mi Xiaoxia.
"Unfortunately, the spring water in the mountains has run out recently, and there is not even a drop of boiling water. ”
Mi Xiaoxia smiled, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"In that case, forget it, it's all family anyway, and I don't mind. ”
Bilujana's face remained unchanged, and he spoke directly.
"I came here this time to follow the decree of my senior brother, and I want my senior nephew to stop getting involved in mortal affairs. I don't know what method you used, the mortal emperor was so obedient, and it was useless for Buddhism to spend a lot of effort. Hehe, the senior brother is so angry that he is going to scold the street. ”
"It's ......"
Mi Xiaoxia looked suddenly enlightened, smiled for a while, looked at Bilu Zhana Buddha and said.
"Everything has a cause and effect, and the reason why I do this is because Taoism has given me a lot of benefits. Now let me go, and what good can you give me? ”
"Although this master and nephew can rest assured, although we are not as generous as the Daomen, there are still some things. ”
Birujana Buddha smiled and said.
"What conditions do my nephews want, just ask, I'm here to do this. ”
"In that case, then you're welcome!"
Mi Xiaoxia's face suddenly sank and said.
"My request is very simple, as long as you release the three uncles of the Bearded Immortal, the Spirit Tooth Immortal, and the Golden Hoop Immortal, I don't care about the affairs of the mortal world!"
"Oh, how can you open such conditions!"
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Bilujana Buddha jumped up directly and said.
"If you want to be a head immortal and a spirit tooth immortal, that's a matter of Manjushri and Puxian, I don't care. Why do you still want a golden hoop immortal, I'll point at him in a fight, what if you want to go, I'll do it!"
"What do you mean, do you disagree?"
"Disagree, resolutely disagree!"
Birujana Buddha shook his head vigorously, it was about his own interests, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
"Then please go back. ”
Mi Xiaoxia snorted lightly, indicating that he was sending off the guest.
"Hey, I'll go back. ”
Birujana Buddha snorted, and sure enough, he turned around and left.
“...... There are times when you are in a hurry!"
Watching Bilu Chana Buddha leave, Mi Xiaoxia sneered at the corner of his mouth. This is just the beginning, and he has time.
There was no talk with Buddhism, which was also expected, Mi Xiaoxia continued to cultivate in the Thunder Mountain, and at the same time paid attention to the movements of the mortal world.
With Li Longji's full support, Li Guangbi has no worries at all. In addition, he is already talented and leads the army to quell the chaos, which can be described as a success.
In less than a year, more than half of the rebellious army was pacified, and a large amount of territory of the Tang Dynasty was restored. At the same time, absorbing a large number of chaotic troops, Li Guangbi's army is also growing rapidly, and the original army of 100,000 has become 150,000 at this time!
Although it has not yet officially engaged in war with Liangshan, if it continues in this form, this war will definitely be pacified in less than two years.
If so, it would be of little help to the Anshi Rebellion. Seeing that Chang'an couldn't move Li Longji, Buddhism had to change its thinking and began to fully support Liangshan and help them grow their strength rapidly.
As long as Liangshan develops to a certain extent, even if he fights Li Guangbi head-on, he will have the power to fight.
So the next year can be said to be a year of military expansion on both sides. Li Guangbi continued to quell the rebellion and increased the number of troops. The same is true of the Liangshan side, and it does not distinguish between good and bad, absorbing the common people while absorbing other small groups of rebels.
After another year, all the chaotic armies in the world were pacified, and only the last place in Liangshan remained. At this time, the strength of the two sides has also changed greatly.
The Li family army built by Li Guangbi has a total of 200,000, which is double the previous one. In comparison, Liangshan is even faster, originally tens of thousands of people, but now it has reached 300,000.
The number of people is 100,000, but the Li family army has strict military discipline and a strong style. Compared with the uneven quality of Liang Shanjun, it is much higher in quality.
The most important thing is that the Li family army has the Tang Dynasty as the backing, so there is no need to worry about increasing troops or supplying grain and grass. So in contrast, Li Jiajun still has the advantage.
In the fourth year of Tianbao, Li Longji officially canonized Yang Yuhuan as a concubine, and because there was no queen in the harem at this time, Yang Guifei led the harem.
Yang Yuhuan's brother Yang Guozhong finally sat in the position of prime minister. And Yang Yuhuan's eldest sister, third sister, and eighth sister were also named Mrs. of Korea, Yu Guo, and Qin State respectively. They often go in and out of the harem, and together with Yang Yuhuan, the four sisters serve Li Longji.
It was also this year, at the beginning of the year, Li Guangbi and Liangshan officially fought!
Liangshan has a large number of troops, and there are cities to defend, and there are one hundred and eight generals and all kinds of talents, which is definitely not comparable to the small rebel army before. Even Li Guangbi can't win in one fight.
The battle lasted for more than half a year, and both sides had their own victories and defeats, but in the end, it was Li Jiajun who took the initiative.
However, due to the disparity in the number of troops, it was difficult for Li Guangbi to win quickly. After thinking about it, he repeatedly appealed to the imperial court, requesting the transfer of another 100,000 troops, so as to assess the rebellion in one fell swoop!
"Your Majesty! This must not be done! The frontier has been using troops for many years, and if another 100,000 troops are transferred. I'm afraid that foreign enemies will take advantage of the weakness, and the calamity will be far better than that of the little Liangshan bandits!"
Li Guangbi's recital was folded to Chang'an, and the ministers in the court discussed the matter, and Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others immediately strongly objected.
The rest of the courtiers, some were in favor of increasing the army, and some were against.
Seeing that everyone was arguing, Li Longji thought for a while, waved his hand and said that he would discuss it again tomorrow, and then announced his withdrawal from the court.
"Your Majesty, Li Guangbi now has an army of more than 100,000 troops, and the people call him Li Jiajun. But this Li family is not the royal Li family, but his Li family. ”
In the harem, Yang Guozhong followed Li Longji and said with a gloomy face.
"If you give another 100,000 troops, it will be 200,000 or 300,000 troops. Once Li Guangbi has a different heart, the degree of harm is far greater than that of the Liangshan bandits. So according to Weichen's opinion, let him fight with Liangshan Caokou like this. It's not that he can't win, so after a few years, the Liangshan Caokou will be exterminated, and his Li family army will also be consumed, isn't it just right?"
"This ......"
"Your Majesty, although the concubine is a woman, I also think that what my brother said is very true, this is all for your country. ”
Yang Yuhuan was waiting beside him, and he also interjected.
“...... What Ai Fei and Ai Qing said is very true. ”
Li Longji thought for a while and nodded.
The next morning, Li Longji issued an order to reject Li Guangbi's request for help. and strictly ordered him to exterminate the Liangshan bandits as soon as possible.
At the beginning, Mi Xiaoxia had something to say, so Li Longji fully supported Li Guangbi. Although Li Longji is afraid of Mi Xiaoxia, there is also a limit. As Yang Guozhong said, he had to guard against Li Guangbi, who had a heavy army!
"Attack tomorrow morning!"
After receiving the holy decree, Li Guangbi sighed heavily, but he was helpless and ordered the attack to continue the battle.
The fighting continued, but because the strength of the two sides was not much different, the process was relatively slow. And as time went on, the forces on both sides were also decreasing.
In the second year, he had been fighting with Liangshan for a year, and Li Jiajun only had 100,000 left. The Liangshan army also had only 150,000 left, and many of the captured towns were defeated, and the sphere of influence was greatly reduced.
"Big brother, in this situation, it's better to consider Zhao'an. ”
After all, Li Jiajun had the support of the Tang Dynasty, and although he did not continue to increase his troops, he was completely sufficient in terms of grain and grass. In this way, if the fight continues, the Liangshan army will be defeated.
So far, not only have more than half of the ordinary soldiers and generals been killed or wounded, but even the original leader of the cottage has already killed 17 people. Looking at the vacant chair, Wu couldn't help but persuade Song Jiang with grief in his heart.
And Song Jiang also had the intention of recruiting An, and when he proposed it again at this time, he couldn't help but be moved again.
"No! If it's Zhao'an, the little brother would rather die!"
"Yes, I will not be safe if I die!"
But at this time, led by Lin Chong, some leaders who had a deep hatred for the imperial court stood up and resolutely opposed Zhao'an.
"This ......"
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Song Jiang couldn't help but hesitate again. If he forcibly agrees to recruit An, the team will probably disperse.
"Song Da is in charge, do you really think that the imperial court is sincere in recruiting peace? Once you have no army, won't you be slaughtered by others?"
At this time, a monk got up, sneered twice, and continued.
"As for food and grass supplies, you don't have to worry, we will fully support you. ”
"This ...... Then thank you Master. ”
This monk is not one of the hundred and eight generals, but he has been by Song Jiang's side for a long time, and he seems to have great power, which is of great help to Liangshan.
At this time, the monk said this, Song Jiang arched his hand and thanked him, and stopped thinking about Zhao'an for the time being.
"Report to the big boss, something is wrong!"
At this moment, a pawn suddenly rushed in and hurriedly reported.
"Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Caizhou and many other places are attacked by a large number of enemies, and they are almost unable to support it!"
"How is it possible! Li Guangbi only has 100,000 soldiers and horses now, how can he have the ability to divide troops in many places!"
Everyone's faces changed greatly, and Wu Yong hurriedly questioned.
"Hui Yu Military Division, not only the Li Family Army, but also the Jiangnan Army!"
"Jiangnan Military ......"
Hearing the news, everyone's faces changed again.
The Jiangnan Army refers to the army of Jiangnan Province, as we all know, Jiangnan Province nominally belongs to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it has long been self-reliant. I don't know who secretly controls Gangnam Province, not only is it prosperous and rich, but the army has reached 100,000 people.
"How can this be ......"
Wu Yong muttered to himself, if the Jiangnan army helped Li Guangbi, then this battle would not have to be fought at all, and it would definitely be defeated!
"Leaders, hurry up and lead troops to support everywhere. ”
However, at this time, the war was critical, Song Jiang gave up his hands to everyone, and everyone was ordered to leave.
Just when Liangshan was panicking, Li Guangbi was complacent. I asked the court for more troops to no avail, and I originally thought that this battle would have to be fought slowly. But I never expected that the Jiangnan Army would come all the way to help, and they didn't care about the benefits!
And now, Li Guangbi only knows that it is a man named Mi Xiaoxia who is helping him in secret.
"Damn Mi Xiaoxia!"
"Hehe, don't be angry, senior brother, I'll just run again. ”
Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple, hearing the news from the mortal world, the Buddha couldn't help but be angry. Bilu Chana Buddha smiled, and it was rare to take the initiative to ask for help, and go to Jilei Mountain again.
