Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 287
As soon as they met, Qian Miao cried, "Mr. Niu, I really don't want to do this!"

Niu Hui nodded, and said: "I understand that Chang'an tributes are rare in all towns in the world, but money is the only defense that keeps paying tribute every year. You are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. This old man understands, and so does Your Majesty!"

"But...why did the imperial court fight against each other?"

Niu Hui's face was serious, and he said, "You are so confused!"

"..."

Niu Hui continued: "Your Majesty settled Guanzhong, flattened Sanchuan, took over Hezhong, Luoyang, Xuanwu, and Zhaoyi, and now settled down Huainan. Two-thirds of the world has two-thirds of the world. His contribution surpasses the great sages of all dynasties. What will His Majesty do when the defense envoy sees it?"

Qian Miao's cheeks were covered with cold sweat. Unexpectedly, within three years, the imperial court had grown from a secluded corner to a towering monster that looked down upon the world.

"Could it be, could it be that His Majesty wants to pacify the world's feudal towns, so why, why do you grant the world's towns and inherit them instead?"

Niu Hui laughed and said, "I want to be the hearts and minds of the towns in Hebei Province!"

"This……"

Got it all.

Niu Hui suddenly looked serious, and said: "If the defense envoy Qian wanted to crack the soil and seal the town, wouldn't he know that there is a town outside the town, and attack each other, how could he always win? Defending the town, or if the generals under his command have different intentions, if there is a slight discrepancy, it will be a catastrophe for the family!"

Qian Miao's face was distorted by Niu Hui's slander, and the fact is the same. Even if he becomes a Jiedu envoy, will he be able to pass it on forever?The Tang Dynasty has set up Jiedushi for more than 100 years, and it is very rare that it can last three generations. When I think about it, I immediately think about it.

Niu Hui continued: "Your Majesty also feels the loyalty of Qian's defense envoy, and wants to use you as a minister, and when you come to the court, assist His Majesty, do your best to seal your wife and son, this is what a man does!"

Qian Miao worried: "I am now resisting the heavenly soldiers with a large army, can your majesty tolerate me?"

Niu Hui then took Tian Lingzi out to whip the corpse, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so vast that even Tian Lingzi can tolerate him, so why can't he tolerate you!"

Qian Miao frowned, and suddenly remembered something, and his expression became serious...

……

Ge Cong Zhou Daying.

Ge Cong Zhou Duan sat on the first left seat, and his subordinates were the commanders of the various capitals under his command. Hua Hong was on the first right, and his subordinates were the commanders of the various capitals of the Zuo Zhenwu Army.

Ge Congzhou was the chief general, but he only led 2000 Xuanwu troops. Although Hua Hong was the deputy general, he had [-] Shu soldiers under his command, including [-] cavalry, which were formed when guarding Liangzhou.

Of course, although the Zhenwu army on the left and right has 10,000 soldiers and horses, it does not mean that the two armies are like the Huwei army on the left and right. After that, there were still too many people, so the left and right Zhenwu armies were formed, each with 2 horses.

From the emperor's point of view, whether he can fight now is unknown, and sending him to the south of the Yangtze River also means to practice.

But even so, Ge Congzhou did not treat Hua Hong as a subordinate.

In the battle of Qingshuihe, Hua Hong charged with his horses and won the three armies bravely. If there are generals like this, how could the Zuo Zhenwu army be inferior.

At this time, all the soldiers were worried, and the commander had all gone to the enemy camp. This battle was fought very aggrieved.

All the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, there was nothing they could do. If Prime Minister Niu Hui didn't come back, they would have to sit still.

At this time, the sentry sent back.

"But Mr. Niu is back?"

The sentinel shook his head and said: "Not yet, Commander, there is an urgent military situation. Peiqiao Village, 8000 miles to the south, found an enemy situation. There are about [-] infantry troops. The subordinates arrested a leaver. After a little interrogation, they found out that this is the case. It is Dong Chang's reinforcements in eastern Zhejiang, and the coach is Yan Zhong."

"Hey!" Ge Congzhou got up and said, "How about the armor, what kind of weapon did you use?"

"Twenty percent are armored, thirty percent are archers, most are spearmen, and less than a thousand sword and shield soldiers!"

"How's the formation?"

"Still marching, the formation is quite messy!"

Hua Hong stepped forward and said, "Ge Shuai, let the last general go!"

Ge Congzhou nodded, and said, "Since Vice Marshal Hua has said it, this battle will be handed over to the Zuo Zhenwu Army!"

"Thank you Ge Shuai!"

Hua Hong ordered his general immediately, and led [-] cavalry as the front army. Hu Ting from one capital, Li Hua from the third capital, and Tong Limin from the fourth capital prepared troops and horses as the rear army.

Hua Hong carefully inspected the terrain and road along the road, and learned that there are no rivers, ditches, or mountains and rivers to obstruct the road.

He directly led the cavalry to meet the enemy, and met the enemy head-on at Luwei Slope. Hua Hong took the lead, charged into the enemy's formation, and beheaded Yan Zhong with a single blow. Most surrendered...

This battle was won by Tanma in Hangzhou.

Dong Chang's reinforcements were recruited by him. Originally, he wanted to join forces with Dong Chang and resist the heavenly soldiers, but he didn't expect the prime minister Niu Hui to persuade him to surrender. Now that he knows that Dong Chang is like a chicken and a dog, he will collapse when he touches it. How can he have any other thoughts? .

Qian Miao went directly to Niu Hui and knelt down to the bottom, and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to respect the imperial court's will, and ask Niu Gong to come down!"

Niu Hui was overjoyed, and wanted to help Qian Miao up, saying: "What is the crime of defending Qian? From now on, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty. Congratulations!"

Qian Miao didn't want to get up, and continued: "Mr. Niu, the reason why I resisted the Heavenly Soldiers is that I really don't want the people of Hangzhou to suffer from the war. Now I entrust Hangzhou to Mr. Niu, please have mercy on me!"

In this world, the most feared thing is the guest army, who often enters the prefectures and counties to plunder the place, Qian Miao really does not want foreign soldiers to enter the city.

Niu Hui understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Qian Defense Envoy is worrying too much, don't you know about the Jingyuan Army and Weibo Ya Army?"

Weibo Yajun? Jingyuan Army? Qian Miao hurriedly asked: "I would like to hear the details!"

Niu Hui said with a smile: "Since your Majesty took charge of the government, you still respect military discipline. In the past, the Jingyuan Army slaughtered Fuzhou. Your Majesty beheaded all the lieutenants and colonels of the Jingyuan Army. All 600 soldiers were sent as slaves. A few days ago, they attacked Xuanwu and Bianliang. The city was broken, and more than [-] Weibo Yamen plundered Bianliang, His Majesty was furious, beheaded more than [-] troops, and imprisoned the rest, Qian Fangwei thought, why is this?"

Qian Miao said: "If that's the case, I don't have any worries!"

……

The imperial army occupied Hangzhou without bloodshed. Huang Laiyi, the governor of Huzhou, surrendered. After Huzhou and Hangzhou fell, Suzhou became an isolated place. With a letter from Niu Hui, Fang Minyi, the governor of Suzhou, surrendered.

The entire six prefectures in western Zhejiang, including Bao Xuecun, the governor of Muzhou, did not respond. The other five prefectures were restored, with food supplies from Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou, plus food transfers from Lingnan and Fujian. There is no need to transport grain and grass from Luzhou all the way, and the pressure on the court's grain transport is reduced.

The next target is naturally Dong Chang.

Dong Chang's hometown is in Yuezhou (now Shaoxing), only two hundred miles away from Hangzhou.

Niu Hui, Ge Congzhou, and Hua Hong were surprisingly unanimous in their views. The troops will be sent across the state, and the Eastern Zhejiang War will be decided!
