Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 353: In the 353rd year, Hedong returned to rule, and everyone celebrated

In the ninth year of Dazhi, March Wuji

The governor of Hedong, the king of Longxi, and the captain of the school, together with Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi Li Keyong, entered the court with the imperial edict.

The entire Tang Dynasty rejoiced.

On the first day of April, Li Keyong and other military generals and family members arrived in Xingzhou, Zhaoyi, escorted by Yang Shihou of Youxuanjia Army.

It was also on this day that a large amount of supplies entered Hedong Town. His Majesty the Emperor mobilized 30 stones of grain and grass, [-] sheep, and [-] pigs to enter the country in batches for disaster relief.

At this time, even if there is some slight comment on the court, there is no opinion now.

In this world, if you can have food, having enough food is the way to go.

On behalf of the six northern prefectures, Yin, Sui, Shuo, You, Ling, Sheng and Hedong Zhenshi, Jin, Yi and other six prefectures, a total of eighteen prefectures were established, and Shanxi Road (west of Taihang Mountain) was established. His Majesty the Emperor sent an effective general, Zhang Chengye, to lead The Shanxi Road Observer also serves as the formation envoy.

In the land of Ling, Sheng, You, Shuo, Dai, Sheng, Lin, Yan, and Feng Jiuzhou, the governor's palace of Shuofang was established.

With Ge Congzhou as the chief governor of Shuofang, Du Chongwei and Hua Hong as deputy governors, the chief governor's office controlled the Yisheng Army on the left, the Zhenwu Army on the left, and the Huwei Army on the right. The three armies totaled more than [-] troops!
Compared with Xuanzong's time, the defense pressure of the Shuofang Governor's Mansion was much smaller. Originally, only [-] German troops were released in Dongshoujiang City, and Li Keyong released [-] Zhenwu troops in Shengzhou and Lingzhou. The three thousand Shuofang army.

Now all the armies have withdrawn and merged, leaving these three armies to guard the border.

Both the Uighurs and Tuyuhun were in decline, with only [-] to [-] Dangxiang people in Youzhou. In the first battle of Baoda, Tuoba Sigong was defeated, and Tuoba Sijian fled in confusion. Now he serves as a governor in Youzhou. Over the past few years, he has been honest very.

The Hedong Army was reorganized, leaving young and strong men, and was organized into 54 troops.

Six new armies were established: the Yangwei Army on the left, the Tianwu Army on the left, and the Wuxiang Army on the left.
The Yangwei Army on the left and right, the Tianwu Army on the left and right are infantry, and the Wuxiang Army on the left and right are cavalry.

The commander of Zuo Yangwei's army was Li Siyuan, who commanded 2 troops, including ten troops from Hedong and ten troops from the imperial reserve.

The commander of the You Yangwei Army was Li Cunjing, commanding 2 troops, including ten troops from Hedong and ten troops from the imperial reserve.

The commander of the Zuo Tianwu Army was Li Sizhao, who commanded 2 troops, including ten troops from Hedong and ten troops from the imperial reserve.

The commander of the Youtianwu Army is Huo Cun, the former deputy commander of the Youhuwei Army. He has 2 troops, including ten Hedong troops and ten imperial reserve troops.

The commander of the Zuowu Xiang Army was Zhou Dewei, the former Tielin Army Commander, with 1 people under his jurisdiction, all of whom were cavalry, including 500 in the first capital, Hedong soldiers in the tenth, and court reserves in the tenth.

The commander of the Youwu Xiang Army is Li Cunxian, the Hedong general, with 1 cavalry under his command, ten of them are Hedong soldiers, and ten of them are imperial reserve forces.

The rest of the people from Hedong mixed with the rest of the armies.

All these troops were transferred to Bianjing. His Majesty the Emperor had to see them complete their ideological education with his own eyes before he could send them out with confidence.

As for the soldiers and their families, they moved to the garrison with the army and divided their fields, cattle, sheep, and houses.

Fifty thousand households were moved from the original Zhaoyi, Hezhong, Chengde, and Weibo counties to fill the six prefectures in Hedong.

This move cost the court more than three million yuan, and His Majesty the Emperor also spent a lot of money.

On the west side of the Sixteenth Mansion in Bianjing, His Majesty the Emperor prepared a large palace for Li Keyong. According to the prince's regulations, the title of the Longxi County Prince was upgraded to one level. He planned to confer the title of King of Yi and the Prince's Jingjie.

At the Bajiaotan Ferry, Li Ye led hundreds of officials to greet him personally.

"His Majesty!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "This is where the prince and I first met. Does the prince still remember?"

"How could you not remember?"

Things have changed and people have changed. At that time, he was still a strong figure in Jiedu, majestic and heroic, but now...

Li Keyong took a long breath and said: "I am guilty..."

Li Ye stopped what he was saying, shook his head and said: "Right or wrong, I won't mention the previous things. I only know that without the help of the prince, how could I be where I am today, and how could the Tang Dynasty be safe and peaceful today!"

His Majesty the Emperor is also grateful. Although Li Keyong's motives were impure, in fact, Li Keyong did help him a lot, containing the towns in Hebei and containing Zhu Wen. Otherwise, Xuanwu would have swallowed most of the big fish by this time. Lost.If so, even if Li Ye defeated Guanzhong and pacified Xichuan, could he compete with Zhu Wen?
Li Keyong indirectly promoted Zhu Zhen's rebellion against Zhu Wen. With Zhu Zhen's participation, Li Ye was able to sweep through the north and south like a cheat all the way.

Just look at the battles Zuo Huweijun fought.

Against Tuoba Sigong, against Wang Jian, against Qin Zongquan, against Li Sian, even in the final decisive battle with Zhu Wen, Zuo Huweijun was the main force among the main forces.

There is also Fu Cunshen, who is also a rare tiger general.

Especially now, Li Keyong did not go to war and entered the court under the imperial edict, which also prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. This merit must also be recorded on Li Keyong.

"I'm afraid Youtong will have to wait impatiently in the palace. Please come with me in my dragon chariot!"

"Thank you for your honor, Your Majesty!"

Li Ye held a family banquet in Wanchun Palace, and Zhu Ye Youtong led Jin Wang Li Shuo into the palace.

"Your Majesty, Li Keyong, pays homage to the Concubine Xian, Your Highness the King of Jin!"

Li Ye hurriedly stopped Li Keyong and said: "The prince does not need to be polite. This is a family banquet. We only continue family affairs, regardless of position!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ye shook his head. Li Keyong had changed. He could clearly feel that Li Keyong had changed. He was no longer the all-powerful and high-spirited hero Li Keyong.

Now Li Keyong is less cautious and cautious in speaking, as if he is a different person.

On the right, Mr. Liu and Zhu Ye Youtong were saying thoughtful words.

"Youtong, are you pregnant again?"

Zhu Ye Youtong nodded and said: "Not just me, Concubine He Shu, Concubine Pei De, and Liu Zhaorong are all pregnant!"

"..."

In the harem, the only one who is not pregnant is Chen Zhaoyi. This kind of thing is sometimes really annoying. What you want, there is no movement for a long time, but what you don't want is always there.

Li Ye and Li Keyong talked about the past with emotion.

The next ones were Li Luoluo, Li Cunxu and others. Li Ye called the German King Li Yu to accompany him.

Li Cunxu and Li Yu were about the same size, and they hit it off immediately.

"I heard that His Highness has been in the army for several months, and there are many interesting things!"

Li Yu shook his head and said: "It's extremely frustrating. Every day I get up and count supplies, ascend the throne and make records. It's very difficult in the camp. I only took a bath once in more than three months!"

Li Cunxu said hurriedly: "Didn't you lead the army to kill the enemy?"

Li Yu looked at Li Cunxu, "Don't you know that when we station troops in Xingzhou, we will kill the enemy and kill you?"

He shook his head and said: "No, my father asked me to read more, think more and talk less. I am only fourteen, and my father has not asked me to lead the army yet."

Li Cunxu waved his hand and said: "What's wrong with being 14? My father led the army to fight at the age of 14!"

"..."

I can't take this anymore...

At this time, Jin King Li Shuo climbed up to Li Keyong and said: "My mother said that you are a great hero and can teach me how to ride a horse. Is this true?

Li Keyong looked at Zhu Ye Youtong, then at Jin King Li Shuo, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, of course it's true, haha!"
