Chapter 358

Luoyang was looted? Does it matter with me? Did Li Chengye beat back the rebels?

Ah? Fight back! That would be great. what? The main rebel force fled to wulaoguan? Well, let Li Chengye do it by himself. In short, the rebels are not allowed to enter Duji Dao again!

And ask me for money and food? Well, let's look at the Treasury

Well, the Treasury is so empty that there are no mice, no money and no food! Chang'an City has to eat by itself! Let Li Chengye pay attention. We must quickly recapture the grand canal so that the money and food from Jiangnan Road can arrive in Beijing as soon as possible!

Otherwise, you don't want to get any money. Find a way to raise food and grass yourself. The local government will give me full cooperation!

Well, for the problem of eating in Chang'an City, we should increase taxes in Guanzhong and Longyou areas, collect and transfer grain from Sichuan first, and the grand canal must be restored quickly!

These wonderful orders stunned the civil and military. The new emperor has learned a lot from the past. I didn't expect that now it is related to the safety of the country. He can be so calm. Isn't he afraid that Li Chengye will raise bandits and occupy one side with so many names of self-determination?

The emperor never thought so much. He only knew that he was happy here and didn't think about Shu. After making a decision, he immediately withdrew from the dynasty.

……

The confrontation between Li Chengye and the Pinglu army lasted for another two months, because most of the Pinglu army were civilians who were forcibly recruited. This situation gives Li Chengye the space to use his anti separatist and separatist tactics.

In these two months, he quietly arranged spies and constantly plotted against some bottom soldiers in the Pinglu army. Finally, he waited for the right time.

That's why, with the cooperation of the traitors, he broke the martial prison and defeated Lu Jiedu envoy in one fell swoop.

Pinglu Jiedu envoy was killed in the chaos army, and the rebellion from the border town finally ended.

When the rebels were destroyed, the imperial court's prestige soared. Shuofang and Hedong Jiedu envoys, who wanted to pick up cheap money behind Pinglu Jiedu envoys, immediately retracted their claws and extended them. They congratulated one after another and sent protons to Beijing to show their obedience.

The cloud over the top of the court dissipated for a moment, but Li Chengye's memorial to Beijing made the emperor and the Minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty a little sober.

Pinglu army was defeated, but Yanyun and Western Liaoning had no troops to defend. Today, the left Shence army is less than 20000, and it is hard to defend Kyoto, let alone border areas?

Li Chengye did not dare to say that he would enter the prime minister, but he had experience in civil, military and political affairs. Therefore, the contents of the postwar arrangements in the memorial were all to the point.

Defeating Pinglu Jiedu envoy is just the beginning. When Pinglu Jiedu envoy was in, all the ministries of Donghu and Khitan dared not move lightly. Once the Pinglu army was destroyed, the defense of the two places had to be in the charge of the imperial court.

But the Treasury is empty and it is impossible to rebuild defense. Li Chengye was worried and thought about it. Only by rebuilding Fan Yang and Pinglu, and recruiting troops by the new Jiedu envoy, could he get through the difficulties.

But in this way, Li Chengye's decades of achievements in calming the town were basically done in vain.

Today, the world is no longer the era when he and the former Emperor fought side by side and could turn the tide and prosper in the world.

Just as now, one wave is not even and another wave rises again. In the process of confrontation between the imperial court and the provinces and towns, there is another refugee rebellion in Henan Dao.

The main force of Wang Xianzhi was annihilated before Henan Road passed through the counter insurgency. If the imperial court has handled the aftermath and waited for the drought to pass, Henan road can gradually restore order and vitality.

However, due to the death of the former Emperor, the new emperor who ascended the throne was a generation of mediocrity and ruled by eunuchs. There is no one to manage the broken Henan Road, and the situation of refugees everywhere has not been improved.

Finally, when Li Chengye confronted Pinglu army, an owl who had followed Wang Xianzhi to make trouble gathered again in the mountains.

In a month, the snowball generally expanded to 100000 people. The new leader learned from Wang Xianzhi and decided not to conflict with the imperial court and local vassal towns, but to take the refugees south to the richer Jianghuai and implement the exile strategy.

When Li Chengye defeated the Pinglu army and was ready to return to Beijing to recover his life, the anti thief army, after destroying and looting the Jianghuai River, had grown to 200000 people, and tens of thousands of core troops had excellent armour and considerable combat power, and officially became a force that could shake the world of Li Tang.

After Li Chengye led the army back to Beijing, he learned the name of the leader of the peasant uprising army from the urgent letter from the assassin of Huainan road.

Huang Chao - General chongtian!

The destruction of the Yangtze Huaihe River led to the cutting off of the grand canal again. This has a great impact on the dilapidated Luoyang and densely populated Chang'an.

The emperor restored Li Chengye's original Marquis of the county and urged him to attack immediately to eliminate the bandits.

Li Chengye originally wanted to attack immediately, but the Zuo Shence army, who had just finished the war, quit.

When they returned to Chang'an, they didn't even receive a penny of reward. They were injured in the war and had to pay for medical treatment. Moreover, if the military pay is cut, naturally I don't want to work hard with hundreds of thousands of rebels.

The imperial court urged, but the army refused to cooperate. Li Chengye had no choice but to return to the house and thank the guests behind closed doors.

He is also forcing the imperial court to pay the army enough. As the old boss of Zuo Shence army, he doesn't want his subordinates to die.

The ball fell to the emperor. If he was willing to stop the expansion of the palace and sell those valuable building materials, he could raise enough military pay, but the Emperor himself was unwilling.

At the urging of the Minister of civil and military affairs, the emperor was so angry that on impulse, he ordered Li Chengye to be arrested in the prison and scolded him for his incompetence and delay. Want to threaten with capital punishment and replace the general of the unification army.

But this caused great disaster on the same day. Zuo Shence army heard that Li Chengye was arrested. After the war, the soldiers were still angry and did not get a reward. Their dissatisfaction was even more serious. Coupled with the emperor's blundering, the officers and men in the army will be punished if they mistakenly take the main position, and their soldiers, large and small, will be severely punished.

In addition, everyone was extremely angry. As soon as the soldiers gathered together, they did not do anything. They immediately launched a mutiny, beat the right Shence army stationed in Chang'an and went straight to the Daming Palace, the imperial city.

The emperor and many civil and military ministers were scared out of control. Finally, Zhang Zhen kept a low profile and let Li Chengye out of prison.

Only then did Li Chengye persuade the whole army to withdraw for the time being. But Zuo Shence army was also afraid that the imperial court would retaliate against them.

So he refused to leave Chang'an City, but occupied many Li Fang, built fortifications and faced off with other forbidden troops.

Now the most capable troops in Chang'an are rebellious. Not only the emperor is afraid, but also the honourable and civil and military ministers living in the city.

So he even discussed that each family should give some money as a reward and military pay to these soldiers.

Finally, under the mediation of Li Chengye, Zuo Shence army began to leave Chang'an and agreed to go on an expedition.

But at this time, the left Shence army was no different from the warlords in the border town.

This time I sent them south to fight, no longer with the blessing of Wu yunchanglong as before, but like sending the God of plague.

Li Chengye is also the first time to go to war under such circumstances, and his heart is even darker about the future of Datang.

At this time, Li Chengye's position changed from Hebei road to Huainan road.

But this time, Li Chengye had no invincible confidence in the past, so he sent his second son Li Guangsi back to his hometown in advance and asked him to find his brother Li Dingguo.

After Li Chengye left, Zhang Zhen entered the imperial city again. Jealousy eroded his heart and gradually made him crazy. A plan for Li Chengye is gradually taking shape.
