The Song envoy from Guangzhou crossed mountains and ridges and finally saw Li Luo in Nangan. The poor guests had no time to wash away their sweat and were too late to be amazed at the majesty of the Tang army, so he spoke directly: "Duke of Tang, the official has an imperial edict, please ask the Duke of Tang to set up an incense case to receive the edict." The fastest update is computer::/

What?

Imperial edict?

From Guangzhou?

All the generals in the tent all looked strange, and even the face of the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, was a bit ugly.

Alas, what can I say about this Zhao Guan family? Wen Tianxiang also felt a little sad while sighing.

However, all the generals showed anger, and many people were even worried that they did not want the king to accept this bullshit imperial edict.

Li Luo was amused in his heart and said lightly: "Oh? The envoy also brought the imperial edict from your official family? Then read it directly. I want to hear what imperial edict written by the official family of Zhao."

The envoy of Song suddenly burst into tears and thought to himself that this Duke of Tang was so rude that he had no such negligence!

But seeing that Li Luo neither kneel down to accept the order nor set up a table of incense to show respect, he was powerless, so he had to pinch his nose and unfold the order to recite:

"The subordinates of the school said: I inherited the country from the slightest time of restoration and followed the decree of heaven from the public. Since the Yuan Dynasty invaded the south, the Central Plains were in ruins, and the country was overthrown... But you are thinking about the great Song Dynasty, and you have been the people of the Song Dynasty to join the Yuan court, enduring humiliation and danger..."

"However, the national affairs are difficult, and the day when the ministers are fighting for the gu people. Your arrows serve in front of you... If you give yourself a favor to the country, then the country will not be able to neglect the meritorious officials... The king of E was highly praised, and his virtue was specially appointed as King of Gan, Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Jinqing Guanglu Dafu. You are encouraged to help you recover with your might, and welcome the north to Lin'an, and accept my orders. I am so proud!"

After finishing the reading in embarrassment, Song Zhi wiped his head full of sweat and said with a reluctant smile: "King, this is the will of the official family."

After saying that, he handed the wrinkled imperial edict to Li Luo.

Li Luo sat down and listened to it. He grabbed the imperial edict, shook it open and found that there were a string of names signed on it.

There is the signature of the "book store" of the Zhongshu Sheren, the signature of the "book reading" of the staff, and the signature of the Prime Minister (ping Zhang)... After several signatures, the emperor's jade seal was sealed.

Obviously, this is a very formal edict that has been reviewed by several departments. It shows that there are many Song Dynasty old people in the small court in Guangzhou, otherwise they would not have known the procedures for the imperial edict.

The imperial edict of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty required several people to review and approve it, and it also required the Prime Minister's deputy signature to be a legal imperial edict. It can be said that the emperor's power is incredibly limited.

If Song Shenzong wanted to promote a person to be the censor, but the civil servant would not allow it, it would not work!

Even Emperor Renzong of Song wanted to increase his salary to his concubines, and the imperial edict was rejected. The emperor did not approve the ministers of the Central Secretariat, and the emperor did not even have this power.

The emperor bypassed the "hand edict" issued directly by the Secretary of the Central Committee. The prime minister could refuse, and officials could take it seriously, but no one took it seriously.

It is not a beautiful saying for the emperor to share the world with the scholars and officials, but a fact.

Therefore, when Li Luo saw this imperial edict, he couldn't help but feel contempt.

It's weak.

What does such an emperor feel like? It would be strange if such a dynasty is not weak.

In the heyday of feudal society, the power of the monarch was so restricted, too, too advanced.

Li Luo didn't believe that the literati would care more about national interests than the emperor and would care more about expanding territory than the emperor. Who is the chairman or professional manager who loves the company more? Is there any need to ask?

Li Luo sneered: "I inherited the destiny of the Tang Dynasty and the will of the Zhao official family, and have nothing to do with me. I will not care about this matter with your family. Please come back."

The Song envoy was actually mentally prepared for Li Luo not to be summoned. Seeing Li Luo's attitude, although he was angry, he did not dare to show any of it.

The Tang army's popularity and the benefits of armor and weapons were far beyond his imagination. It was strange that Li Luozhen wanted to obey the imperial edict with such a powerful soldier.

"Since that's the case, then I won't be able to force others to do anything." The Song envoy did not dare to talk nonsense, but then changed his mind, "But now the Yuan court is powerful, and the Song Dynasty is the old master of the world. As a Han family, can the Tang Gong help the Song Dynasty with 30,000 armor and 10,000 stones of military ration?"

What? Aid 30,000 armor and a million stones of military rations?

Do you think my Tang's armor and food is blowing from the strong wind?

Li Luo and the generals almost got amused. However, Wen Tianxiang couldn't bear it, but he didn't speak for the Song envoy in the end.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to leave, but our army is really in a hurry to lack armor and food. The recruits recruited are not available, and the food is too short. How can I still have the time to help your family?" Li Luo shook his head and refused.

The Tang army's armor was really nervous. Because the new recruits had already reached more than 100,000, the armor suddenly became nervous. Even if he obtained tens of thousands of yuan, it was still not enough.

How could Li Luo do the surrender?

Seeing Song Zhi looked disappointed, Li Luo didn't want to give anything, but always had to support him. He thought for a while and said, "Let me do this, I will give you a million taels of salary, and your family can buy food with silver."

Unexpectedly, the envoy Song shook his head with a wry smile, "I thanked Mr. Tang, so I don't want the money."

They conquered the entire Guangdong Road, and at its peak occupied 36 prefectures and counties. Guangdong Road was a place of prosperity for business and was not short of gold and silver. They had earned more than 10 million taels of silver alone, but now they did not lack gold and silver at all.

What they lack is armor and food.

What's the use of silver now? Can you exchange armor immediately and buy food immediately?

Not to mention armor, even grain is priceless and difficult to buy.

After thinking about it, the envoy of Song said again: "Duke Tang, the Song Dynasty is willing to buy 20,000 yuan armor from Tang Gong at a price of fifty taels of each pair of iron armor, but I don't know..."

Li Luo shook his head without thinking: "The nobles of the more you are disappointed. The armor is not enough for our army to use, so it cannot be sold."

In the end, the Song envoy got nothing and could only leave with hatred.

"Hahaha!" The generals laughed heartlessly. The emperor ignored Zhao Song's imperial edict, and they were all very happy.

The bullshit King Gan, will the king care about it? The king is about to become the King of Tang, and he will still care about the King of Gan, the old Zhao family, and will work for your Zhao family and take you to Lin'an?

Why did you dream in broad daylight?

Li Luo smiled and said, "The Zhao Song court still needs to help. Well, when Zhang Hongfan is destroyed, I will even place armor for them."

The Yuan army in Yunnan, Sichuan and Annan began to mobilize. By then, Tang Guoguang would face countless enemies in the south. Only when the Guangzhou small court restored some strength was the most in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

…………

The Tang army in Ganzhou (Jiangxi) confronted Zhang Hongfan in Shaoguan, but Zhang Hongfan could not stand there, and the Tang army had no choice but to go out. The Yuan army did not dare to leave Shaoguan and enter Ganzhou.

The clean villages of Ganzhou were also in full swing. The powerful and evil gentry who resisted the Tang army were cleaned up one by one. Their money and grain were confiscated, and the land was distributed to the poor, and priority was given to the recruited new recruits.

On the Jiangsu and Zhejiang side, Cui Xiuning urgently dispatched 40,000 veterans of the Tang army to prepare to board the ship in Hangzhou Bay. The navy commander of Zheng He had been on standby in Qiantang River.

Zhang Hongfan was waiting for Hudu Timur, and Li Luo was waiting for 40,000 Tang troops to land in Guangzhou. For a moment, Shaoguan was in a strange silence.

It was already early July, and it had been twenty days since Wanzhedu was destroyed. Because the Tang army naval forces blocked the rivers and locked the seas and were isolated from the north and south, this news did not reach Dadu until now.

When the Yuan court learned that Wanzhedu was defeated and died, Li Luo occupied most of Jiangxi, and was immediately in an uproar.

Seeing that the end of the three rebels had arrived, Li Luo became even bigger!

What's wrong?

In the Ming Dynasty, Kublai Khan was furious in front of hundreds of courtiers.

"Wuguan and Jianmen were occupied by the bandit army and could not be attacked for a long time. The army went south to fight the rebellion. Now Wanzhedu has been completely wiped out, and Li Luo's bandit ministers have occupied most of Jiangxi!"

Kublai Khan threw the report in his hand with a pale face, "Can I, the warrior of the Yuan Dynasty, no one can do anything to him in the south? Is it necessary to watch him occupy the entire southeast? So many army in the south are all waste!"

No wonder Kublai Khan was angry. After Li Luo rebelled, he occupied the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang, blocked the rivers and locked the seas, slapped the face of the Yuan Dynasty, and beat him, the Emperor of the Great Yuan, the face of the Khan of the Khan. He wished he could immediately destroy Li Luo and capture Dadu Lingchi and execute him.

But in two or three months, Li Luo not only was not wiped out, but also destroyed the 70,000 army of Wanzhedu, occupied more than half of Jiangxi, and took away all the more than 30,000 Yuan craftsmen.

When Kublai Khan thought that more than 30,000 craftsmen fell into Li Luo's hands, he felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have placed the craftsmanship area in Jiangxi, but in Jiangbei.

Boyan came out and said, "The wise and great Khan, the slave begged the Khan to extinguish the thunderous anger for a while, and do not let the incompetent slaves and cunning traitors get angry with Jingui's holy body."

Boyan continued: "Although Zhang Hong and Fan Ping failed in destroying the fake Song Dynasty, the fake Song Dynasty was no longer afraid. That was the goats that were shot on the arrow, struggling on the hills, and it would be a matter of time before they could be wiped out."

"There are still 500,000 and 600,000 troops in the south of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the cavalry alone is less than 100,000, and the chieftains are even more than 800,000. Even if the cavalry in the north does not go south, it is as certain as the sun will set from the west."

"So my servant thought that when Hudu Timur and Zhang Hongfan joined forces to encircle and suppress the troops, it was the day when Li Luo was defeated and died. The Khan was relieved,"

Kublai Khan snorted coldly, "Li Luo is as cunning as a fox. He will not give Zhang Hongfan and Hudu Timur a chance to meet. I see that he will probably attack Zhang Hongfan first. Well, I will issue an order to Hudu Timur to let this slave not care about Xiao Yin for now."

Boyan said cautiously: "The Khan meant that Hudu Timuer gave up Xiao Yin, the wolf, and went east to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and hunted Li Luo, the tiger with Zhang Hong? But in this way, Xiao Yin had a chance to breathe, and Hudu Timuer was busy for half a year in vain?"

Brother Sang came out and said, "The Khan is wise! As soon as Hudu Timur retreated from Huguang, Xiao Yin did have a chance to breathe, and it is possible to grow stronger again. But the problem is that Xiao Yin is just a jackal and a wild dog. Even if he is big, it will be easy to destroy him."

"But Li Luo is different. Not only is he powerful in the navy, but he is not comparable to Xiao Yin's strength. When it comes to fighting skills, he is not comparable to Xiao Yin. Once he really occupies the entire southeast, it will be difficult to destroy it again. The Khan's method of being difficult first and then easy is his great wisdom."

An Tong also said, "That's true! So what if you let Xiao Yin go first, he will finish sooner or later. As long as he destroys the traitor Li Luo, how many days can Xiao Yin and Zhao Liangqin go to trouble?"

Other ministers also said that the Khan was wise.

When Zhao Liangqin raised his troops to restore the Song Dynasty half a year ago, the Yuan court was facing a great enemy and regarded Zhao Liangqin as the most dangerous rebel. After all, he was able to bewitch and incite people's hearts by holding the flag of Song.

However, since Li Luo started his army, the Yuan court has regarded Li Luo as the most dangerous enemy.

Now, no one in the Yuan court dared to underestimate Li Luo anymore. Especially Kublai Khan, he felt keenly that although Li Luo only occupied Jiangnan, he would become a very troublesome enemy.

Kublai Khan continued: "Also, let the Han army accelerate the attack on Wuguan and Jianmen. Although the warriors in Dayuan are as numerous as sand and as brave as eagles, this is not a reason to underestimate the enemy. It is like even a rabbit that will kill a careless Haidongqing."

"The tenth team of Haidongqing from the Eagle Division was assigned to Hudu Timur to assist Hudu Timur to investigate the enemy situation. As soon as the imperial edict arrived, Hudu Timur immediately gave up Xiao Yin and attacked Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

There was a special army in the Yuan Dynasty, called the "Eagle Army", which were composed of good eagles and eagle-raising people. In addition to hunting, they were also used to detect enemy situations.

According to historical records, the eagle army of the Yuan Dynasty was very large, with the total of more than 10,000 eagles.

For example, although Haidongqing is not able to deliver letters, it is very useful to detect enemy situations from high altitudes. Wherever there are enemies, how many, and where to come from, Haidongqing, with strong vision, will react differently after discovering it in the air.

Of course, this requires long-term training for the falcon trainer.

This thing is considered the Yuan army's "air reconnaissance plane".

Kublai Khan wanted to give up the wolf to fight the tiger again, and attack two more points, and sent Haidongqing to "reconnaissance aircraft". He really respected Li Luo. Although this man is old, he still has the vigilance of a beast and does not take Li Luo lightly at all, even if he thinks that Li Luo cannot defeat the sky of Dayuan.

Boyan replied again: "Khan, now my Dayuan Navy has almost completed all the warships, and the newly built warships have been snatched by the traitor Li Luo. But Dayuan cannot be without a navy. The Yangtze River and the sea surface cannot be occupied by the rebels forever."

"The slave believes that it should be ordered to the Eastern Province (Goryeo), the Japanese Province, and the Jiaozhou Province (Annan) to rush to build warships, complete them within a time limit, and form a navy."

Kublai Khan also thought so, and nodded immediately and said, "It is correct to report. These three provinces will each build 200 large ships within the year! Recruiting another 50,000 navy soldiers!"

"Zhi! Follow the order!"

However, the Yuan court never expected that the decision of the court was learned by the Special Inspection Bureau that night. Li Yong from the Dadu Branch immediately spread the information overnight.

Because the Tang army blocked the rivers and the seas were blocked and the patrols were extremely strict, the imperial envoys of the Yuan court could not cross the river in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River at all. They could only give up riding horses, crossed the Qinling Mountains with great difficulty, and then detoured Sichuan in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It would take half a month extra to cross the river from a place where the Tang army fleet could not blockade. It was really miserable.

It only takes five days for the Special Inspection Bureau to be transmitted back to Jiangnan.

…………

"Haha, Kublai Khan really respects us." Li Luo put down the information he had just received, "He asked Hudu Timur to give up attacking Xiao Yin and directly attack our army with Zhang Hongfan. He also ordered the Han army to step up the attack on Wuguan and Jianmen..."

Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "Xiao Yin could not last August, but now he has escaped."

Li Luo imagined that Xiao Yin's situation might be better than Zhao Liangqian before. After all, he has a stronger foundation, but he cannot last for August.

The White Lotus Sect believers who had been spread across several provinces were cruelly killed by the Yuan army, and the Red Turban Army no longer had much power. Under the devastating blows of the Yuan army in various places, the White Lotus Sect was uprooted, and the "Emperor of Daliang" Xiao Yin could only trap Jiangling. (I used to make a mistake, it was Jiangling, not Xiangyang)

Chen Shuzhen said: "Hhudu Timur received the imperial edict and came to the southeast for at least twenty days. This skill is enough for our army to destroy Zhang Hongfan. When Hudu Timur comes, we will destroy him, so that we will not go to Huguang to attack him."

All the generals laughed loudly. Isn't it? Yuan Ting thought it was good, and he was worried that Zhang Hongfan could not help but hold him alone, so he pinched his nose and put Xiao Yin in a code, and wanted Hudu Timur to meet up.

But the question is, can Zhang Hongfan still have the opportunity to wait until Timur, Hudu, to meet?

Twenty days, the battle was over long ago. So Hudu Timur came back and was delivered to the door.

Li Luo said solemnly: "Don't underestimate Zhang Hongfan. Who said that Zhang Hongfan will be destroyed within 20 days? I am not sure! He has an army of more than 100,000. Remember, plans are not as good as changes. No matter what battles you fight, you must first consider changes outside the plan."

"No!" All the generals were taught together.

Li Luo stood up and walked to the huge map, "Just say this time, if our army failed to plan, Zhang Hongfan was not destroyed, but stayed in the dangerous place of Meiling. But Hudu Timur's army of more than 100,000 people arrived in Jiangxi, how should we fight this battle?"

"At that time, our army will be hard to care about. The two Yuan army's cavalry will be 50,000, and there will be tens of thousands of fierce chieftain barbarians. Even the Han army is also elite, different from the Han army in the southeast. When our army faces twice as strong enemies, even if we win the battle, the southeast will suffer a lot and the soldiers will suffer a lot."

Wen Tianxiang also stood up, looked at the map, thought for a while, and said in contemplation: "Huru Timur came from the east, and the most likely thing is to walk the Nanling Road and the Mufu Valley. Other places are either too far away or too difficult to cross, and it is difficult to get through the war horses and baggage."

Mrs. Xu is familiar with the terrain of the southeastern mountain range, and she also agrees with Wen Tianxiang's words, "Mr. Wenshan said it well. I also think that Hudu Timur is most likely to go to Nanling Road and Mufu Valley. If Zhang Hongfan cannot be destroyed quickly, then you can only stop Hudu Timur in these two places."

Li Luo smiled and said, "That's it." He said to the generals, "You all heard it. Generals must be familiar with the terrain. This is our plan. If the plan is not going well, use a small number of troops to block Hudu Timur with the help of geographical advantages, and use the main force to solve Zhang Hongfan first, and then turn around to destroy Hudu Timur!"

Since the rebellion, Li Luo has used the battlefield as his class and often taught by example and deeds, so that the generals under his command can be more handsome.

…………

Li Luo and others talked about Mufu Valley, but they didn't know that there was a small group of people rushing to the road in Mufu Valley at this time.

Mufu Mountain is the boundary mountain between Jiangxi and Hubei in later generations. Its mountains and steep mountains are continuous for 300 miles, and only one valley is the most convenient passage. Taishici, a general of the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, once stationed troops on the valley to block Liu Biao's army and prevented Liu Biao from entering Jiangdong.

Mufu Valley is also a business road connecting Jiangxi to Huguang. However, due to the current wars, business is not prosperous and business is scarce, the Mufu Valley is very deserted and desolate.

So, a small group of people alarmed the quiet valley.

There were only eight people and four horses, dressed like a caravan. But they carried weapons, not as simple as a caravan.

Three of them were women. Two women were about the early twenties, tall and strong, holding steel knives, and seemed to be two female guards. Six young men also walked with their knives.

There was only one woman who didn't carry a knife and was riding a horse, and she seemed to be the leader of the group.

The woman was wearing a dark green skirt and her hair was tied into a bun. She looked like a wealthy family. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old and was a young girl with a tender face. She was born with pink makeup, handsome facial features, and very likable appearance. She was in her prime.

But the expression on her little face seemed to be a shame. She pursed her lips, with a firm look, a cold look, and was very disproportionate to her age. At first glance, she seemed to be pretending to be mature, but after careful observation, she was definitely not.

"Princess, do you want to rest for a while?" said a female guard walking beside the horse. "I'm hungry."

The others also showed anticipated gazes.

The little girl pulled the reins and snorted coldly, "Seeing that the sky is hungry, the starving ghost is really reincarnated. Well, just take a rest."

After she said that, she jumped off the horse's back, patted her little hand, threw the whip to a male guard, and walked towards a bluestone on the side of the road.

Another female guard was in front of her cleanly, plucked her cheeks and blew hard on the bluestone, then wiped her sleeves, and said to the little girl respectfully: "Princess, please sit down."

The little girl nodded lightly and sat down on the bluestone. Soon another female guard took off the bag, took out the pastry and dry food, and handed it over with respect, "Princess, please use it."

The little man picked up a piece of cloud cake and threw it into his mouth, frowned and chewed it while saying, "I told you a lot. Don't be so polite outside, let alone call me a princess. Do you think this is Jiangling City? Humph, this is the territory of the Tartars. Don't look at the wild mountains and rivers, who knows if there are any hunting firewood hunters and secretly pay attention to us?"

"Yes, yes! What the princess said is excellent." Several men and women nodded together.

The little girl stopped eating and suddenly looked up at the sky.

After staring blankly for a while, she lowered her cute little head and dealt with the pastries in her hand.

After drinking half a pot of water at the end, the girl's face looked better.

"Princess." An older male guard approached and whispered, "If you walk for a long time, you will be able to get out of the mountains and reach the ground in Jiangxi. If Mr. Tang takes over Jiangxi, we are not afraid of the Tartars."

Another guard also said, "Yes, this trip is really not easy. If the princess hadn't been smart, we would have been taken by the Tartar government long ago, so where could we have been here?"

The young master showed a trace of sorrow and his expression became gloomy. "Although Mr. Tang Li Luo has an old age with me, he may not take me seriously. This time he asked for help would probably fail. Alas, maybe even if he agreed to send troops, Daliang would not wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"Before your Majesty rises up, he works hard to govern. But since he ascended the throne, he has become addicted to enjoyment. Otherwise, Daliang would not have arrived in such a field so soon."

After hearing this, the few people looked sad.

But the young master suddenly gritted his teeth, "Even if Daliang is destroyed, I will continue to rebel against the Tartars!"
Chapter completed!
