Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 248
Zhu Wen is dead, and the overall situation is settled.

On the battlefield, the army was like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and they fell at the touch of a touch. Even the strong troops like the Jianrui Battalion on the left and right did not have the heart to fight again.

Outside the city of Bianliang, Zhu Youyu's attack was unfavorable, and the Bian army was defeated. The Wei Bo army took the opportunity to chase and route the troops into the city.

Just when Wei Bojun was about to start killing in the city, His Majesty the Emperor ordered Liu Zhijun to lead more than a hundred light cavalry into the city.

"Your Majesty ordered Liu Zhijun to be the Marquis of Yu. Anyone who robs the people, rapes women, or murders will be executed!"

"Your Majesty's order..."

Zhang Yunqing, Wei Bo's guard in the left chamber, and Xu Chuanzhen, the guard in the right chamber, didn't care.

"The emperor doesn't know human feelings, so what can he use to soothe the hearts of soldiers after his great achievements!"

"If everything is done, will the emperor behead and kill meritorious soldiers?"

More than [-] members of the Yamen's army looted the rich households in Nancheng, while Wei Bo's other troops were under the restraint of Luo Hongxin and did not attach themselves to rebellion.

Do you really want to attack Wei Bojun?The matter is so important that Liu Zhijun dared not to specialize in it, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to the emperor.

"Tune the Zuo Shence army into the city, cooperate with Liu Zhijun, and kill all looters without mercy!"

Du Rangneng persuaded: "Your Majesty, Wei Bo's army is domineering, and now he has broken the city. How to deal with it, you should think twice!"

Li Ye said: "I have rewarded enough, and I have issued an order a long time ago that looting is strictly prohibited. The Taining army and Tianping army did not respect the order. Now the Wei Bo army is looting again. If they don't deal with it, all the feudal vassals will follow suit. It's out of order."

One punch is enough to avoid a hundred punches. Since Wei Bo wanted to hit the court in the face, Li Ye naturally couldn't be used to it.

This decision was made based on the prestige of the great victory and the current military advantage of the imperial court.

Li Ye looked at Shao Hanqing and said, "What does Shao Sima think?"

Shao Hanqing replied: "Xuanwu lives in the heart of the Central Plains. If he treats each other violently, he fears that the people will resent him. For a long time, there will be disasters. Your Majesty treats the people with benevolence. This is the kingly way!"

Liu Zhijun and Zuo Shence's army immediately surrounded Wei Bo's violent soldiers. These yamen masters were indulging in killing. Who would have thought that the imperial army would dare to use force against them. They couldn't organize an effective defense at all, and they were wiped out one by one.

More than [-] people who dared to resist were beheaded on the spot, and more than [-] people were captured. Zhang Yunqing and Xu Chuanzhen were also captured.

How to deal with it, Li Ye hasn't thought about it yet, the most important thing now is to deal with the surrendered soldiers.

Zhu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, when the troops of Xuanwu are ordered to put down their weapons and armor, and use the original generals to control the original troops, the imperial court troops enter the city and give up the camps outside the city. Settle down slowly."

"The family members of these generals of the Bian Army are all in Bianliang City. The imperial court issued a notice to the people to allow these generals to arrange for people to enter the city to reassure them."

Li Ye nodded and said, "I have sent Wei Bo's army out of the city, what should the soldiers and horses of the other towns do? What can Commander Zhu do?"

Zhu Zhen said: "The troops sent out by the feudal towns are to respond to the imperial edict as righteousness, and to seek money to reassure the army. As long as the imperial court rewards them generously, what complaints do they have?"

"Okay, let's order it like this!"

Du Rangneng said: "Your Majesty, although the major event is decided, there are more than 40 troops stationed in Bianliang City, and it is estimated that there are [-] to [-] troops who have surrendered. There is no food in the Bianliang government treasury, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city. In the near future, there will be [-] to [-] people, and now there are [-] to [-] people who need to eat, and the supply of food and grass for the imperial court can't keep up!"

Li Ye said: "That's not all. Ge Congzhou and Wang Zhongshi also have 4 to [-] horses? I have already asked Li Yun to take Niu Cunjie and Wang Qianyu to surrender. It is probably going to be done at this time, and there are four more Open your mouth!"

Du Rangneng frowned, 40 soldiers, and 50 to [-] horses, after this month's consumption, there is no [-] shi for food and grass to stand up.

50 shi a month, how many people are needed to transport it, I am afraid that if all the grain in Luoyang and Luzhou is taken out, it will not last long.

Li Ye said: "The summer harvest is coming soon. The land in Caizhou and Luoyang has been planted. There is not much damage. It can probably harvest several million shi. Guanzhong is suffering from a severe drought this year. I am afraid that it is unable to transport grain. Zhaoyi needs to supply part of the grain. If you give it to Hedong, you can almost squeeze a million stones, if these are not enough, you can only transfer grain from Shannan, Jingnan and Shu."

Li Ye was also very helpless. The poor traffic conditions in the Tang Dynasty made it difficult to transport grain. Western Shu was rich and the Chengdu Plain had a bumper harvest this year. Can ship some food.

Now that Sun Ru occupies Yangzhou, water transportation is blocked, otherwise a lot of food from the south can be transported by water for emergency relief.

Shao Hanqing said: "Your Majesty, why not let the soldiers and horses of all the towns return to their own towns, so that the food for the army of 10,000+ can be reduced, and it can also be relieved."

Li Ye nodded and said: "I ordered Jingxiang to send all the money and grain from Luoyang to Bianliang, and Zhang Chengye to transport all the silk and silk from the treasury of Chang'an to Bianliang. The rewards haven't been distributed yet, so I didn't let them go back."

The Mutiny in Jingyuan came before, and Li Ye didn't want to cause trouble because of money. Now that the situation is so good, there is no need. With the 400 million yuan seized in Caizhou, Li Ye can also proudly say that it can be solved with money. Problems are not problems.

All the ministers worked hard, and the court only took half a day to sort out the clues. The Left Shence Army, the Left Yongwu Army, the Right Yulin Army and the Fifth Cavalry Army, the Emperor's Personal Guard Army, entered Bianliang City.

Zuo Huwei's army was still stationed outside the city, and another camp was built next to the original camp, to guard the Bian army's surrender and to frighten the towns.

As for the surrender of the Bian army, there were 8 or [-] people gathered, all of whom had confiscated their weapons and armor and put them in the army camp.

As the sun was setting, the Hedong Army was long overdue, and Li Ke used the pontoon bridge at Bajiaodu to come to Bianliang City.

"Where's Bian Jun?"

The battlefield is full of smoke, dead bodies are scattered everywhere, and a large number of dead bodies are being collected for burial.

"Jieshuai, it is reported that Zhu Wen is dead, and the rest of the Bian army has surrendered."

"Zhu Wen is dead!"

Li Keyong opened his mouth wide, quite astonished, ecstatic in his heart, but at the same time quite disappointed.

"Failing to kill this thief with my own hands is really a life-long hatred!"

Li Keyong turned his head and looked around, and saw the camps of Wei Bojun, Wuning Army, Pinglu Army, Taining Army, and Tianping Army. It is estimated that there are 10,000+ troops, plus the imperial army, there may be 20 horses, so With many horses, it is normal to be able to defeat the Bian army! "

"In this battle, He Zhen will be the first!"

"Say it's the Imperial Guard!"

"Imperial imperial guards, you did not inquire wrongly, did you?"

Li Keyong is very clear about the virtues of the forbidden army of the imperial court. Although there have been frequent reports of success in the past few years, the opponents are all of them. I have never heard of second-rate generals such as Li Maozhen and Wang Jian, so Tuoba Sigong still has some combat power .

Ke Tuoba Sigong is not just a slightly stronger scumbag in Li Keyong's eyes. When he played against Huang Chao in Chang'an, it's not that he hasn't seen the party members fighting, and even his younger brother was beheaded by the thief's nest formation. How capable.

But now, the Xuanwu Army, which made it difficult for the Hedong Army to fight, was actually wiped out by the imperial court's forbidden army.

"That's what they all said."

Li Ke was silent.

"Jie Shuai, there is one more thing that is very strange?"

"What's the matter?"

"My subordinates have just inquired that the forbidden army of the imperial court and Wei Bo's army have just killed each other. The forbidden army killed a lot of people, and they have already driven Wei Bo's army out of Bianliang."
