When King Wu Li Ju was in charge of Henan, the Tang troops on both sides of the Luoshui River did not dare to do things too clearly even if they wanted to preserve their own strength. (Please keep this in mind when reading the novel) Now, in order to clear away suspicion, Li Ju closed his doors and thanked guests.
Zhang Xun sent people around again to ask for help, and all the friendly troops were motionless, which was normal.
"Short-sighted! What a pity, His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, was so wise in his life, but in his old age, he actually..." He endured it again and again, but finally failed. Zhang Xun shook his head and scolded with a sullen face.
After dissipating some of the suffocation in his chest, he quickly adjusted his mentality and lowered his voice to request Xu Yuan: "We are too far away from each other about the court affairs, so maybe what we heard may not be all the truth. So, try not to say what you just said.
Side story, so as not to affect the morale of our army!"
"Xu understands, so I only dare to go back to the house and tell you!" Suiyang Prefect Xu Yuan agreed with a wry smile. Test text watermark 8. "But now the rebels have regarded Suiyang as the key to reversing the situation. If they can't get
With the support of other troops and horses, it is difficult to hold on for too long with just the few thousand people we have on hand."
"I still have some friendship with Helan Jinming, the governor of Linhuai. In a few days, I will find an opportunity when the thieves are not paying attention. Let Nanba break out with my handwritten letter and ask for help from Helan Jinming. Seeing how we sang in harmony with each other's poems back then,
For the sake of it, I guess he won’t do anything to save him!” Just to encourage everyone, Zhang Xun mentioned another force that he could use.
"Helan Jinming, the last Jinshi who rose to the rank by flattering Li Linfu?!" Xu Yuan frowned slightly, but for the sake of the overall situation, he did not raise any objection directly.
"Li Linfu was in great power at that time. Anyone who wanted to do something had to compromise with him!" Zhang Xun was as generous as ever and refused to mention Helan Jinming's ugly past. Test text watermark 6.
Seeing how hard he worked so hard, Xu Yuan couldn't say anything more. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and offered his hand to Zhang Xun, "Actually, what Xu brought back when he went out this time was not entirely bad news. I forgot just now.
Congratulations, sir. The imperial court has finally heard of our achievements here, and has issued an edict to designate you as Yushi Zhongcheng. You will also be in charge of Henan Jiedu Envoy, Soldiers and Horses Envoy, General Lei, General Yao, General Shi, and General Nan.
Each of them was promoted to the third rank. They were granted the rank of third-rank general and were granted special rank."
Yushi Zhongcheng is the chief official of Yushitai, and his status in the court is second only to the left and right prime ministers. Tejin is the second-rank official and casual official, and his status is second only to Kaifu Yitong Sansi. If it were in the peace period, he would get this
Even if Zhang Xun is calm and composed, he will probably burst into tears with excitement. However, at this moment, he only feels cold in his heart. "Zhang would rather His Majesty send three thousand troops to Suiyang, but
It’s not these empty official positions! Otherwise, if Suiyang is not guaranteed one day, the court will probably lose two Zhongcheng and more than forty special officials."
Xu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. In the imperial edict sent by the imperial court to Henan and other places, he was also awarded the title of Doctor Guanglu and the Farm Envoy of Henan Province, and he reached a high position that the old Xu family had never dreamed of in their lifetime. But now
Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, special hats were flying all over the sky, and even the princes and uncles were carrying them in the carriages. Everyone could neither command the princes with it, nor sell it to exchange for the food, grass and military supplies of the brothers. Except for the small
It has no meaning at all except to satisfy vanity.
Not wanting to disappoint Zhang Xun and his brothers too much, he thought for a while and added with a smile: "There is also good news about the Anxi Army. Wang Xun and Wang Mingyun defeated Sun Xiaozhe again after the beginning of spring, and also captured Xianyang.
City. Test text watermark 3. Now, all the rebel strongholds on the west and north sides of Chang'an have been removed, and Sun Xiaozhe and others can no longer take a step out of the west gate."
This news really refreshed people's spirits. Zhang Xun was stunned at first, but then his face was filled with a proud smile, "Okay, okay, okay!" He expressed his relief by stroking his palms one after another.
, "Come here, pass my order, let the kitchen thicken the porridge tonight a little, and give all the brothers a full meal, so that they can continue to kill the enemy tomorrow!"
"No!" the guards on the left and right agreed, and went down to deliver the order with joy. Before their footsteps could be heard far away, Zhang Xun turned around again, gently pulled Xu Yuan's arm, and whispered: "Is this the news?
Is it true?! As for the rebels, can they tolerate it so much? Wang Mingyun seems to have only ten thousand people under his command! If the rebels become angry and come to take revenge at all costs, can he support it?..."
"The news is absolutely true. Test text watermark 5. Lingwu has printed the results of this battle on the Di newspaper and distributed it to the world! And..." After a pause, Xu Yuan continued: "
Moreover, the rebels may not send any reinforcements to Chang'an in the short term. An Lushan is dead, and the person who takes over the old thief's place now is An Qingxu, who does not have the long-term vision of the old thief. The first assistant
He is solemn and narrow-minded, and has always been at odds with Sun Xiaozhe..."
"Great, great!" Zhang Xun was so excited that he paced back and forth. In this case, as long as the court can send some troops to assist Mingyun in time, it will be easy to capture Chang'an. By then, those who sit back and watch will believe it
The fate of the Tang Dynasty is still there, which is also a huge blow to the morale of the rebels! One goes down and the other goes up..."
He was so happy that he didn't even notice the bitterness on Xu Yuan's face. Test text watermark 6. The latter stayed with him happily for a while, then slowly put away his smile and whispered, "Just like this, what Suiyang has to endure
The pressure is probably going to get even greater. The brothers have not had a break for half a year, and the various military supplies in the city..."
"No matter what, we must persist until the day Chang'an City is liberated by the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Xun waved his hand and said very firmly. "Before you came back, I observed the movements of the rebels outside the city and already guessed what was going on.
Changes. I just didn't expect that it would become so beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. I estimate that in four months, or two or three months at most, Chang'an City will be recovered. By then, the situation will be completely reversed, and Suiyang City will no longer be
It’s not as important as it is today. It’s much easier for us to stay and leave!”
"Indeed!" Xu Yuan's strategic vision is no less than that of Zhang Xun, otherwise he would not have invited Zhang Xun to Suiyang to join forces with him. Test text watermark 6. "The current situation between Chang'an and Suiyang is a chess game.
There are two points that determine victory or defeat. It depends on whether the Tang Dynasty will regain Chang'an first, or whether the rebels will step over our corpses first. If we really only need to persist for three more months, Xu will even bet on this
I am destined to fight with Brother Zhang!"
"Three months at most. Judging from Mingyun's past performance, if the court is willing to give him full support, maybe he can push Sun Xiaozhe out of Chang'an in two months at most!" Zhang Xun geared up and expressed his pride.
Wan Zhang. "Brother Xu, you will be the one to announce to the brothers later that the old thief An Lushan has been punished by heaven and that Master Wang has approached Chang'an City. After hearing this, the morale of the brothers will be greatly boosted!"
"Yes!" Xu Yuan accepted the order happily. Test text watermark 3. "There is one more thing about General Lei Wanchun. Xu doesn't know how to tell him! I want to discuss it with Brother Zhang first."
"What's the matter, you can't tell him directly?!" Zhang Xun turned his head slightly, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
"General Lei has a disciple, surnamed Ma, who is a descendant of Duke Gaotang. He once served as a bodyguard in the East Palace, but now the tide has risen, and he is ordered to take charge of the troops in front of the palace. He has recommended General Lei Wanchun to Your Majesty many times.
His Majesty himself is said to have heard about General Lei's reputation for a long time. Therefore, when he promoted everyone to the rank and title this time, he specifically mentioned General Lei in the imperial edict. He hoped that officials from all over the country would find talents like General Lei in their offices.
You must boldly recommend it to the imperial court!"
"Where is the imperial envoy delivering the order? Has Brother Xu seen him?" As Xu Yuan recounted, the smile on Zhang Xun's face disappeared little by little and he asked in a deep voice. Test text watermark 8.
"No!" Xu Yuan shook his head gently. "The imperial envoy was very timid. After arriving at Xu Shuheng's place, he found that Suiyang was full of rebels, so he didn't dare to go any further. We took the commendation letter from the court and
The promotion decree was all left to Xu Shuheng, and he was ordered to find a way to deliver it!"
"Where's Xu Shuheng, how does he comment on this matter?!" Zhang Xun suppressed the anger in his heart, and his chest burned as if a tong was stirring inside.
"Although Xu Shuheng was unwilling to send troops to support us, he also did not want to be our enemy. He forwarded the imperial envoy's original words to me along with the imperial edict to the letter. He also suggested that since His Majesty admires General Lei so much, we might as well
Please ask General Lei to go to Lingwu for a visit. Maybe after meeting General Lei, Your Majesty will be able to understand the situation in Henan Road more clearly and send a veteran to coordinate the overall situation as soon as possible!"
"Hey!" Zhang Xunbao sneered. Test text watermark 7. At this juncture, he did not immediately dispatch troops and horses to rescue Suiyang. Instead, he wanted to poach his right-hand man Lei Wanchun from Suiyang city. This idea is not good enough.
His Majesty the Emperor Wu can figure it out!
"To get to Yeongmu from here, you must first go around Shannan Road, then go to Gyeonggi Road, pass through the Anxi Army's station, and then pass through Longzhou and Wonju before entering Yeongju. Even if you don't skimp on the physical strength of people and horses,
The journey under the stars and under the stars will probably take a month and a half. When His Majesty knows what I am doing here and makes a decision, I am afraid it will take another month and a half..." Xu Yuan did not want Lei Wanchun to be here at this moment.
After leaving Suiyang, he looked at Zhang Xun's face and said thoughtfully.
"It's hard for you and me to stop this. After all, we are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Xun took a deep breath and shook his head gently, "Bring the imperial edict to me. I will give it to General Lei and let him make his own decision.
!”
"Okay!" Xu Yuan knew that what Zhang Xun proposed might be the best choice for everyone at the moment. He nodded, turned around and took out the imperial edict wrapped in silk and satin from a bag.
Zhang Xun took the imperial edict and read it hastily. Then he rewrapped it and took it to find Lei Wanchun. The latter had led his troops in a fierce battle with the rebels last night. He was not on duty during the day and was sitting in the barracks at the moment.
Li polished a thick-backed long knife with his own hands. Seeing Zhang Xun coming to see him with an angry face, he quickly put the knife and whetstone aside, stood up and greeted: "What's wrong? Why do you look so ugly!"
"The imperial court has taken a fancy to you!" General Zhang Xun opened the silk package and stuffed the imperial edict into Lei Wanchun's big black mud-filled hands.
"Have you taken a fancy to Lei? What's so good about Lei?" Lei Wanchun took the imperial edict in astonishment and quickly unfolded it. With just a quick glance, he discovered his name on it, as well as the imperial edict.
Covert words of solicitation.
"Joke!" Lei Wanchun made the imperial edict into a ball, kneaded it vigorously, and threw it out the door. "Don't worry, Lei doesn't have time to go to Lingwu to be the commander of the Shence Army. Want Lei
Loyalty to a certain person is easy, as long as he comes to the battlefield in Henan in person!"
"I guess that's the result!" Zhang Xun shrugged and smiled. "But next time you want to throw the imperial edict, you'd better wait until my back is turned. After all, we are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Lei is not anyone's subject!" Lei Wanchun picked up the knife that was about to be sharpened from the ground and gently rubbed the blade with his fingers, "Not now and not in the future!"
