Chapter 339: Saint, Pindao is willing to sweep the gods of Jianghuai for you
His Majesty Li Yuan has been in a very good mood these past two days!
Of course, the main reason is because Li Jiancheng fought hard several times in Hebei against Liu Heitai, and had already pushed back Liu Heitai with his numerical advantage. Now Liu Heitai has fewer troops as he fights more, and Hebei sees
Peace is imminent...
After this achievement, Dalang can finally compare with Erlang in terms of military achievements. And if Dalang is not stupid, he should have gathered some supporters in the army this time, although he is definitely not as good as Erlang.
But at least it shouldn't be one-sided.
well!
I was really heartbroken because of this incompetent man!
Now that Da Lang can compete with Er Lang, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
That's right, it was for this reason that he was in a good mood, and it had nothing to do with the dragon's blood cup that his good daughter Princess Pingyang gave him, which could make people 'work day and night'.
He, Li Yuan, is a person who distinguishes between public and private matters!
After another long night of "working hard" and taking care of everything, His Majesty Li Yuan had breakfast and came to the office of Zhaode Hall in a good mood. As a result, he encountered bad news as soon as he arrived.
"Oh... when Du Fuwei entered the court, Fugong raised his troops in Danyang and rebelled..."
His Majesty Li Yuan flipped through the battle report sent by Li Xiaogong in a hurry, with a smile on his face and a relaxed look on his face.
"Pei Qing, if I remember well, it seems that there was a memorial from the Taishi Bureau more than a month ago, saying that the Taoist priest named Zuo Youxian under Fugong Er colluded with the local gods in Jianghuai and wanted to plot evil, right?
"
"The saint is indeed knowledgeable and strong in memory. This is indeed the case."
Pei Ji nodded first, indicating that this was indeed the case, and then looked at Li Yuan with a smile.
"At that time, I sent someone to the Taishi Bureau to investigate. Sage, can you guess who the Taishi Bureau discovered this matter?"
"Well... there are so many people in the Taishi Bureau, Pei Qing, you really stumped me."
Li Yuan stroked his beard with his hand and thought about it seriously, feeling that he had no clue at all.
At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly noticed that his good friend's gaze seemed a little wandering. He followed his good friend's gaze and found that his good friend was peeking at the dragon's blood cup placed on one side.
"oh!"
Li Yuan gave a high-five as he suddenly understood.
"I thought about it. Could it be that this person is Qingwei from Sanniangzi's family?"
"The saint is heroic and graceful, and his guess is absolutely correct."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji's face instantly showed an expression of extreme surprise. He clasped his hands and looked at Li Yuan with admiration.
"This is exactly what Qingwei discovered."
"It's him again..."
After guessing correctly, Li Yuan felt happy and had a standard aunt smile on his face.
"This little guy seems to be very active. I also saw the battle report where Sanniang asked him for credit, saying that he was the first to win the battle of Bingzhou! My daughter is good at everything, but she likes to protect her shortcomings too much, so she doesn't want to
I thought about how a cultivator like him could achieve his first success on the battlefield, so he reported it to me."
"Sage, you are wrong to say that..."
Pei Ji on the side immediately continued.
"Princess Pingyang has always made a distinction between public and private affairs. Since she dares to report it like this, and no one in the army is dissatisfied, it means that Qingwei has definitely made a contribution. Your Majesty, you are too harsh on your own people."
"Ha ha……"
Li Yuan lit Pei Ji with his hand and laughed.
The monarch and his ministers were enjoying themselves happily and did not take Fugong Er's rebellion seriously at all.
Because the current situation in Jiangnan is completely different from the embattled situation more than a year ago. Now Li Zitong is dead, Du Fuwei has surrendered, Xu Yuanlang, who was already very reluctant, is only left to survive, and Feng is separatist in Lingnan.
The clan has also surrendered under the command of Li Jing, the pacifying ambassador of Lingnan Province.
It can be said that the overall situation in Jiangnan has been decided, and it is absolutely impossible for him to counter the general trend of Taotao by assisting Gong'er alone.
"Pei Qing, please pass on my order,"
After casually chatting with Pei Ji about the situation in Jiangnan, Li Yuan had already made his decision.
"As Prince Li Xiaogong of Zhao County left Jiangzhou, Lingnan Road Ambassador Li Jing recruited troops from Jiao, Guang, Quan, Guizhou and other states to go north to Xuanzhou..."
"yes!"
Pei Ji respectfully agreed and planned to leave Zhaode Hall.
"Pei Qing, wait a moment..."
After Li Yuan thought about it for a moment, he stroked his beard with his hand and continued.
"Then Zhou Faming, the general manager of Huangzhou, leaves Xiakou, and Huang Junhan, the general manager of Huaizhou, passes through Qiaozhou and Bozhou to attack from the side... Hmm! It seems that it is still not enough. You can also give the order to Li Shiji, the general manager of Qizhou, and let him go along the Huai River and Si River.
Go south and surround us on all sides."
Pei Ji looked at His Majesty Li Yuan and blinked silently.
Forget about the previous steps, the saint actually even transferred the reserve army of Li Shiji, the general manager of Qizhou, who was specially placed in Shandong, waiting to support the prince at any time, to Jianghuai...
It can be seen that the prince should really have no problem in Hebei!
"But what Qingwei said about the local gods in Jianghuai daring to collude with Fugong Er is a little troublesome..."
"yes!"
Pei Ji nodded sympathetically.
"It's a pity that Master Qingxia only cares about the monsters and hurtful things in the Tang Dynasty, and doesn't care at all about fighting for dragons. Otherwise, as long as Master Qingxia mobilizes some practitioners from the Taishi Bureau to go south, we can contain the gods."
Li Yuan and Pei Ji looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.
The Taishi Bureau is such a troublesome institution. If you find a person with low strength to be the Taishi Ling, not to mention suppressing the monsters, even the high-level Taoists within the Taishi Bureau will not be able to control it. But if you find someone with the ability like Qingxiazi,
If a powerful person serves as the Taishi Ling, the imperial court will have almost no possibility of imposing orders or prohibitions on the Taishi Bureau.
What a dilemma!
At this moment, Li Yuan and Pei Ji heard footsteps, and then the chamberlain said loudly outside the door.
"Reporting to the saint, Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, the supervisor of the Taishi Bureau, Qingwei, please see me!"
"oh!"
A look of surprise appeared on His Majesty Li Yuan's face again.
"I just mentioned him here, and he's actually here, Xuan!"
"yes!"
After the chamberlain respectfully agreed, he withdrew.
Not long after, Kong Qing, dressed in white, floated in from the door with a fly whisk in his hand, and bowed to Li Yuan.
"I've seen the saint!"
"waived!"
Li Yuan looked up and down at the beautiful young man in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his third wife, and his expression suddenly softened a lot.
"Qingwei, why did you come to see me?"
As Kong Qing's own cultivation has increased, he can still be neither humble nor overbearing, and very calm even when he stands in front of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.
"I came especially for the rebellious gods in the Jianghuai land..."
"oh!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Li Yuan let out another surprised expression.
"I was still discussing this matter with Pei Qing just now. Could it be that Master Qingxia has changed his mind and plans to ask the Taishi Bureau to help me solve the problem of which gods in Jianghuai?"
"Master Qingxia naturally must abide by the rules of the Taishi Bureau..."
Kong Qing waved his hand and then continued.
"But Pindao hates war, so he just wants to solve the Jianghuai problem for Your Majesty."
"oh!"
After hearing Qingwei say that Qingxiazi would not take action and that the Taishi Bureau had not taken any action, Li Yuan felt a little disappointed for a moment, but the handsome little Taoist priest in front of him was his daughter after all... He still could not dispel the other party's patriotic enthusiasm.
.
Besides, didn’t my Erlang say that Qingwei was an immortal?
Maybe he can bring some surprises to himself!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan continued to ask kindly.
"I understand, Na Qingwei, how do you plan to solve Jianghuai's problem?"
"Pindao would like to ask your Majesty for three things,"
Kong Qing bowed to Li Yuan again.
"If the saint can allow it, Pindao will recruit the gods from my country in the Tang Dynasty to help your majesty wipe out the rebellious gods in the Jianghuai land."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Li Yuan immediately asked in surprise.
"whats the matter?"
"First, the thrones of those rebel gods..."
Looking at Li Yuan who looked eager, Kong Qing raised a finger.
"The so-called emperor is not in need of hungry soldiers. The gods in the Tang Dynasty must have benefits from sending troops, so Pindao asked the saint to issue an edict, allowing Pindao to enshrine the gods in the Jianghuai area afterwards and set up temples to offer sacrifices."
When he heard that Kong Qing's request was something that had nothing to do with human rule, Li Yuan agreed without hesitation.
"Okay! I agree to this matter. As long as Qingwei you can deal with the gods in the Jianghuai land, even if you destroy all the temples in the Jianghuai land and replace them with new ones, I agree. So what is the second thing?
"
"The second thing is..."
Kong Qing raised another finger.
"We also ask the saint to issue an edict and ask King Wu Li Fuwei (now Du Fuwei is given the surname Li) to issue an order to appoint Pindao as the ambassador of Jianghuai, with full power of life and death on behalf of the King of Wu."
"good!"
Although Li Yuan didn't know the purpose of Kong Qing's order, he agreed without hesitation.
"I can also promise you this!"
"The third thing is..."
Kong Qing stretched out a finger again and said firmly.
"Pindao is not good at fighting, and the Yin soldiers borrowed from other gods also need a good commander, so he asked the saint to write an edict with Pindao, and asked Lingnan Ambassador Li Jing to be used by Pindao to command the Yin soldiers and the Jianghuai area.
The gods fight.”
"Li Jing?"
This time Li Yuan hesitated. After all, in his plan, Li Jing's mission to go north from the south was still very important. However, after pondering for a while, Li Yuan made up his mind again.
Since I have mobilized Li Shiji, the loss of Li Jing should not matter to the overall situation.
Besides, Li Jing can still bring the troops recruited from Jiao, Guang, Quan, Gui and other prefectures to Xuanzhou and then go to help Qingwei. At most, he can not march on the southern route and just stick to it!
"good!"
After thinking about it again and again, Li Yuan nodded to Kong Qing.
"I agree to this condition. I will issue an edict to Li Jing and ask him to cooperate with you in commanding the Yin soldiers."
"Then the poor Taoist will have no problem..."
Kong Qing bowed to Li Yuan again.
"Pindao will definitely rectify the gods, ghosts and demons in the Jianghuai area and ensure that they cannot affect the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Fugong Er. Your Majesty can wait in Chang'an for the good news of pacifying the Jianghuai area!"
