Chapter 10 Guard Luoyang

Li Yan saw that Chen Shufei kowtowed to Dai Guifei and begged for mercy, but Dai still looked angry. Li Yan had to say to Princess Dai with a smile, "Princess, this matter was caused by me. I asked them to accompany me to the Taiye Pool for boating, and I had nothing to do with them. I'm going to Xuanzheng Hall to deal with political affairs now. I'll compensate you when I come back. After saying that, he turned his head to Chen Shufei and a group of maids, wink and reminded him, "What are you doing? You still don't thank the noble concubine!"

When Chen Shufei and the maids heard it, if they were granted an amnesty, they quickly said to Princess Dai, "Thank you for your forgiveness!"

When Princess Dai saw that Chen Shufei and the maids admitted their mistakes, her heart softened and her anger subsided. She slowly said, "Get up. Next time I will shock the holy driver, I will definitely not forgive!"

Hearing this, Chen Shufei and the maids quickly got up, like frosted eggplant, and went back to their residence listlessly.

Li Xun changed his dragon robe and hurried to Xuanzheng Hall. He saw many civil and military ministers standing in the court, looking east and west. Li Yan quickly ran to the throne and sat down and asked, "I heard Zheng Aiqing say that the Huangchao thief is about to call. What's going on?"

Tian Lingzi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Zheng said is true. The old slave also received many reports from Yang Fuguang, Gui Renshao and other central plains. Recently, Huang Chao's thieves and bandits ran rampant in the Central Plains, and Zeng Yuanyu and Zhang Zimian's two armies, 3 to 400,000 people, were defeated in a row. Lei Yinfu, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was killed by the thief, and the three armies seized his anger. The battlefield of the Central Plains was almost unbearable. Now, Huang Chao's Thieves have sent troops to attack Zhengzhou, Wulao and Luyuan, and Luoyang is in a hurry! Your Majesty, please quickly announce Zeng Yuanyu and Zhang Zimian, and let them lead a large army back to Luoyang to set up defense to ensure the safety of Kyoto!"

Li Yan yawned and said, "Zhao Tian Aiqing said that Luoyang has not been broken by the Huangchao Thieves, right? I thought Luoyang had lost, so I hurried here. Aiqing, is Dongdu Luoyang easy to break through? Thinking that Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought and besieged Luoyang for several months, but they couldn't take Luoyang. The war in the Central Plains is tense, and we can transfer troops. Isn't there a lot of square towns around the Central Plains? Can we draw troops to reinforce? It's such a big thing, and it's really boring for me to come to the court in person!"

Yu cong, a right servant, came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, it used to be easier for us in the Tang Dynasty to draw troops in various towns, but in recent decades, it has become more and more difficult to draw troops from various towns to fight against the chaotic people. Many square towns hold heavy troops in hand. If they want to transfer their troops, they often have to make a lot of decrees and promise a lot of benefits. Some governors are willing to send troops to reinforce other towns. Some governors are far away from the capital, so they simply ignore them and use various reasons to excuse them. State affairs are day by day, so I hope your majesty can be diligent and eliminate the thieves as soon as possible!"

Li Yan listened to Yu Cong's words, scraped his sleeves with his hands, looked at other civil and military officials in the hall, and said, "Tian Aiqing and Yu Beisha are worried about the country. They just made a statement. You also talked together about how to suppress this yellow nest thief? When can it be wiped out? Let me have a bottom in my heart!"

The ministers of Wenwu talked a lot. The voices in the Xuanzheng Hall were noisy, and they competed with each other to blush and turn into a pot of porridge. Zheng Wei saw this and shouted loudly, "All ministers, be quiet! Quiet! If you have something to say one by one, don't worry!" Zheng Yu shouted so that his voice was about to smoke, and the disputed civil and military ministers closed their mouths. Suddenly, the Xuanzheng Hall was silent, and the civil and military ministers looked at the hoarse Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Zeng Yuanyu can't be transferred back to Luoyang to defend. Zeng Yuanyu is now sitting in Ezhou, and he can go south to suppress the thief Cao Shixiong and Wang Chong's hidden troops, and north can fight with Huang Chao's main force. If he is transferred to Luoyang, once the elite soldiers of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty are launched, the consequences will be unimaginable! Thieves will cross the Jianghuai River, as if they enter a no-man's land. Once the climate is formed, our Tang Dynasty will fall into a situation of doom. I hope your majesty can observe it clearly!"

Li Yan listened and was very upset. He didn't know whether it was better to take Tian Lingzi's suggestion or Zheng Wei's suggestion. When he saw that Lu Yi's position was closest to him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he had it! I just asked Lu Yi which side he supported, and I took the advice of which side. It's like apolo game, two wins in three games and two wins two in two wins! After the decision was made, Li Jun said to Lu Qian, "Lu Aiqing, do you think Tian Aiqing's suggestion or Zheng Aiqing's suggestion is better?"

Lu Zui is Tian Lingzi's confidant. Of course, he wants to speak for Tian Lingzi. Although this man is listed as prime minister, he is pedantic. He can only draft chapters and recite poems when he is idle. He doesn't know military aircraft at all. At this time, Lu Tuo learned from Mr. Nanguo. He pretended to understand and knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, what Lord Tian and Prime Minister Zheng Cheng said are reasonable, but Gongwei Kyoto is a big deal. For the sake of safety, I think it is the first thing to consider to quickly strengthen the defense line of Luoyang in the eastern capital. Only when the two Beijing are safe can we safely send troops to eliminate the yellow nest thieves. The specific choice will be decided by your majesty.

Li Yong listened and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Lu Aiqing's opinion is in line with my opinion. In the past, I used to dispatch troops and generals, and I asked all the important ministers of the imperial court. Today, I will also be a commander. All Aiqing listened to the order. Now the thieves in the Central Plains are rampant, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, is in a hurry. This time I will make up my mind to fight with the Huangchao bandits in Luoyang, which will defeat the thief's spirit! I ordered Luo Yuangao, the governor of Heyang, to dispatch elite soldiers to Luoyang to guard, and Mu Renyu, the governor of Xuanwu, to dispatch elite soldiers to Luoyang to protect the Dongdu Palace. In addition, he also transferred some troops from Luzhou to Luoyang for defense. Liu Jingren, the general of Zuo Shenwu, served as the defense envoy of Dongdu and was responsible for the defense of the whole Luoyang. Zeng Yuanyu led some of the main forces in the Central Plains to quickly return to Luoyang and set up defenses on the front lines of Luyuan, Yique, Heyin and Wu prison respectively. In a word, after this imperial edict is issued, whoever dares to disbey the order, I will dismiss the official! The above transfer must be completed within half a month! That's it! " retreat from the court!"

After Li Yan finished speaking, he brushed his sleeve and left the hall. The civil and military ministers had to go out and go back to their respective residences and inform their subordinates to act according to Li Yan's deployment.

Because Li Jun adopted Tian Lingzi's suggestion, Zheng Yu transferred Zeng Yuanyu back to defend Luoyang and trembled with anger, but he had no choice but to return to his prime minister's house, and his life was stuffy.

It is said that Zhu Cun led 5,000 volunteers into multiple shares and constantly attacked Zhengzhou. Zhang Zimian was uncertain after receiving the emergency documents of Zhengzhou generals. Fearing that once the troops were withdrawn and returned to Zhengzhou, if the Huang Chao army attacked from behind, the consequences would be unimaginable. He quickly sent multiple horses to scout the main force to investigate the movements of Huang Chao. According to the information found by the horses, he knew that the Huang Chao army had pulled up because of the lack of food and set out from Xiangyi to Xuzhou. In this way, Songzhou will be temporarily safe.

Zhang Zimian thought twice and felt that it was more appropriate to return to Zhengzhou. First, it could strengthen the safety of Zhengzhou. Second, Cui Anqian was stubborn and arrogant. This time, he besieged and suppressed the "thief bandits" in the Central Plains. Cui Anqian always did not listen to the command, kept his troops, preserved his strength, and looked around. The main force of the Tang army was eaten little by little by Huang Chao's "thieves", and Zhang Zimian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Now, Huang Chao's main force went south to Xuzhou and joined the "thief" Cao Min's department. You, Cui An, suffered. I, Zhang Zimian, was in Zhengzhou to see how Cui Anqian sang the play of Xuzhou Defense War!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help laughing. He immediately ordered: "The whole army will start and quickly reinforce Zhengzhou!"

When they heard that the 70,000 suppressing army wanted to return to Zhengzhou, they were overjoyed, because many of these soldiers were from around Zhengzhou. They were fighting abroad and living like years. Now how can they not be happy when they heard that they were going back to Zhengzhou? The Shatuo cavalry led by Li Changyan was also very happy. In this expedition, they did not fight a battle. When they went back, they really burned high incense, Amitabha.

One day, Zhu Cun was discussing the way to attack Zhengzhou. A detective horse reported: "General Zhu, the big deal is not good. Zhang Zimian led a large army from Yongqiu and went straight to Zhengzhou!"

When Zhu Cun heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Zimian, a stupid pig, finally couldn't help acting in full accordance with our army's combat deployment. It is said that I will order that all the small people will set up banners, confuse the enemy, lead Zhang Zimian's army, and march in the direction of Mi County all the way, and then enter the big mountain in the south to drag down the Tang army fat and down, hahaha!"

Zhang Zimian ordered Li Changyan's 3,000 Shatuo cavalry as the leading force to find the main force of the Rebel Army. The Shatuo cavalry was really powerful and had a strong mobility. They chased Zhu Cun's men and horses like a splash of wind. At least five or 600 volunteers who ran slowly were killed by these Shatuo cavalry. Zhu Cun was shocked and ordered the volunteers to accelerate their transfer to Daqi Mountain. Li Changyan led the Shatuo cavalry to chase closely, but this tail just couldn't be thrown off.

Zhu Cun finally led most people into Dalu Mountain. Li Changyan believed that the rebels were vulnerable and did not prepare much, so he ordered the Shatuo cavalry to enter Daju Mountain to besiege and annihilate the rebels. Zhu Cun ordered the rebels to occupy the hills and dense forests, hid and wait for orders, and dug a lot of trapped horse pits, which were planted with bamboo sticks and sprinkled a lot of sharp things such as iron thisthorns. The volunteer archers prepared arrows and bowed to go.

These Shatuo cavalry are all blue-headed, simple-headed and well-developed limbs, like Xiong into Zhu Cun's arranged pocket array. Li Changyan ordered Shatuo cavalry to search carefully to find the righteous horse. A Shatuo cavalry saw 400 or 500 steps ahead. More than a dozen volunteers probed their heads behind a small hill, kept beckoning to them and shouting in unison, "Damn Shatuo soldiers, you have killed many of our brothers. Today we can't forgive you. ! There is a guts to chase and kill Grandpa. Grandpa has no place to run away. I'm here to fight with you today!"

The shouting and scolding of the volunteers kept echoing in the valley, which was clearly audible. Li Changyan and his soldiers couldn't help but be furious and their hair stood up. Li Changyan shouted, "You little thieves, how dare you scold us Shatuo Iron Cavalry. Today, I will teach you a lesson and let you know where the title of Shatuo Iron Horse is the first in the world came from?" After saying that, Li Changyan waved the golden gun with the horn of the beast and shouted, "Brothers, kill these little thieves! Kill them all!"

Shatuo cavalry held their own weapons, beat horses and whips, and shouted to kill the righteous soldiers.

When Zhu Cun saw that most of the Shatuo cavalry had entered the ambush circle, he opened his eyes, raised the wind knife, and shouted, "Brothers of Daqi, hit me hard and beat these Shatuo soldiers!"
