Chapter 55 Langzhou (4)

The sky gradually dawned, and the earth was hazy, like silver-gray veil.

Langzhou changed in a panic overnight, and the city gates opened. The army of Southern Tang, which had been waiting for battle, was in a vast and powerful way, entering from all over the place.

Because Zhou Xingfeng sent a messenger to inform the death of Liu and Wang, the soldiers of Langzhou gradually lost their fighting spirit and abandoned their weapons and waited for orders according to the military order. Except for Pan Shusi's troops in the south of the city, most of them gave up their resistance.

An hour later, as a general of the Shenwu Army cut Pan Shusi's head into the sky, the war in Langzhou ended with the Tang army breaking the city and the war was quelled.

Liu Jiangsheng, the commander of the left wing of the Guards, held a spear and majesticly led five thousand vanguard troops into the south gate. Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others deliberately put on a brand new purple robe and led the central army to slowly enter the city on horseback, ushering in their highlight moment.

After years of war in Chu, although there were few wars in Langzhou, the people in the city naturally understood the principle of success, kings and defeats. Only when the fighting gradually faded, the Tang Dynasty cavalry scattered in various streets and alleys in the city, informing the royal army to enter the city, and each household spontaneously gathered on both sides of the street.

I don't know which child was in the crowd, and after timidly shouting "Da Chu...", his parents hurriedly covered his mouth in panic and hid behind him.

More than ten wealthy businessmen in the city were all experts who were changing their responsibilities when they heard the news. After hearing the news, they hurriedly led their servants and stood in front of the crowd. When they saw the cavalry led by the Tang army, they burst into tears in pain: "The sky has eyes! The royal army is here!"

Seeing that the people around were silent, several brave servants shouted again: "The king is here! The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"

The people finally started shouting: "The Tang Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of victories! The Tang Dynasty has thousands of victories!"

It has to be said that the power of the people is huge. Regardless of whether it comes from the heart or not, as soon as the shelter effect spreads, the fear in the hearts of the people gradually dissipates, and soon cheers echo in all parts of Langzhou City.

An aide beside Chen Jue said excitedly: "Please! Look! The king's army entered the city, but the people's will!" Then he raised his fists and shouted with the people.

The most exciting thing in life is the ups and downs. Last night for Chen Jue was unforgettable forever.

First, he received news that Yan Jingquan was defeated and captured in Xuzhou in a nervous state. Then he touched his forehead and cried bitterly. After being sad and angry for a while, he suddenly received the good news that Li Yuanjingcheng, Liu Yan gave him the head, and the Langzhou city gate was opened. He sobbed violently in his throat, and almost breathed a sigh of relief...

In short, Chen Jue, as the commander of the Western Expedition Army, has achieved success in breaking Langzhou. He is already floating all over. While holding the reins and riding the horse, he waves to the people, and the speed of the march gradually slows down.

Liu Jiangsheng was also unconcealed of joy. He had to be Brother Yuan! He decided the overall situation as soon as he took action! He thought that he would return to Beijing soon, and then stood in front of his mother Liu with his head held high, Liu Jiangsheng was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble.

"Go~" I saw the young general Chai Kewu slapped his horse from a distance, walked to Chen Jue, dismounted and bowed respectfully, "Report to the Prime Minister, Mr. Li Yu and his brothers are cleaning up the Jiedu Office. The last time they will come to welcome him!"

"Okay! OK!" Chen Jue clenched his fists and was overjoyed: "Hurry up and hurry up! I want to see Hou Li Yu quickly!"

......

"Brother, we're rich!" When Zhou Xingfeng took the initiative to lead Li Yuan and others into the inner trunk of the mansion, Luo Erhu looked at the iron boxes of all sizes, almost glaring out his eyes!

This was the life-long accumulation of Ma Xi'e, Liu Yan and others who had been searching for decades. How could Li Yuan not be moved? He swallowed his saliva and went forward to open a box. The dense copper coins "stopped" instantly overflowed. He ordered his personal soldiers to open one by one, all filled with copper coins, gold, silver and various pearls and jade treasures.

Most of the soldiers present were from ordinary people, and they were very open to their eyes when they saw this today! But after all, Li Yuan was in a custody here, and no one dared to move at will, and there was only a silent desire in his eyes.

"Mr. Li Yu, this is the booklet of the inner warehouse. Mr. Yu can order people to compare one by one!" Zhou Xingfeng ordered someone to get a book of accounts and handed them with both hands.

Unexpectedly, after Li Yuan took it, he didn't even look at it and threw it straight behind his personal soldiers: "What do you want it? It's burned!"

Then he strode forward, grabbed a handful of bright copper coins, then threw them into the air, and shouted: "Brothers, leave behind jewelry and jade, and other gold, silver and cash to the Yuhou to bring all the money back to the camp! Tonight, I Yuhou will reward you on merits! Brothers will make a fortune together!"

All the Tang soldiers around them cheered excitedly, and then rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

As soon as Xu Kuangheng stepped into the inner trunk, he saw Luo Erhu urging the soldiers to come out one after another. He was shocked and hurried to Li Yuan and whispered: "Mr. Yu, the Prime Minister Chen will arrive soon! Mr. Yu is now very good at making great contributions. If he moves all the money away, wouldn't he be criticized?"

Li Yuan shook his head disapprovingly, but instead raised his voice and said, "What is the purpose of using the minister? He won't make money after winning the battle? These are all exchanged for their lives by brothers! Besides, isn't this not empty? I have left a few boxes here! Brothers, move them quickly!"

Xu Kuangheng blinked in confusion, and was about to refute him, when he saw Li Yuan nodding to him again, he immediately understood...

Zhou Xingfeng, who had been standing in the corner, had now looked at Li Yuan's eyes and had just lost seven or eight minutes of disdain, and instead replaced a hint of fear.

......

"Mr. Li Yu!" Chen Jue walked into the office with great strides, and then grabbed Li Yuan's hands intimately, and then said excitedly: "Mr. Li Yu attacked Langzhou at night and captured and killed Liu Yan, which led to a complete victory in the Western Expedition! From then on, the northern border of Chu has returned to our Tang Dynasty! Mar. Yu is a real hero! A real hero!"

Li Yuan bowed and said with a humble and arrogant attitude: "I have been too proud of you! I will inherit the power of Your Majesty and use your life to the generals. I will be lucky enough to get it! If I had not planned this battle, how could Langzhou easily be defeated?"

"Hahaha! I know Li Yu, I have always been humble, so there is no need to be like this at this time! You are already the most important thing in this battle!" Although I knew that Li Yuan was just flattering, Chen Jue was still very happy and nodded repeatedly: "It is so rare that he can sacrifice his life and be loyal to the emperor and protect the country! Well, I didn't see the wrong person!"

Suddenly, an aide came to Chen Jue's ear and whispered a few times. Chen Jue's face gradually began to change, and then he narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "I heard that Li Yu Hou emptyed Liu Yan's inner warehouse?"

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly and replied with a red face: "I won't be able to emptiate you, I just withdraw some cash. The soldiers fought hard all night. Since Langzhou has been conquered, I will always have to reward you! In addition, I will have to get married soon. After all, the bride is from a wealthy family, and there are dozens of people in the mansion, so the expenses are inevitable..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jue laughed to the sky and pointed at Li Yuan to the crowd and said, "Hahaha! As expected, the general loves money! Li Yuhou is a cheerful person!"

Everyone laughed with Chen Jue. Li Yuan was not ashamed, but just smiled shyly, and thought to himself, "These money is Ma Xi'e and Liu Yan's private treasury, and it is not Langzhou treasury, so why not take it? I don't imitate Zhao Kuangyin, seal it up and hand it over with righteousness, and it's all about the people who live in the world. If it is spread, it's not a problem for yourself? People, they can't be too perfect...

After a general was seated in the inner hall of the office, Chen Juexian said, "You will all make contributions to this great victory in the Western Expedition! My original minister has ordered a fast horse to take Liu Yan's head back to Jinling to report the victory. I believe that your majesty will have an order soon!"

Then he said seriously: "But you still cannot slack off at this moment! You must have known that Yan Jingquan's Northern Expedition Army has been defeated in Shuyang! Since Langzhou has been pacified, why not take advantage of the victory to go north? The original intention is that the entire army will rest in the city for ten days. After replenishing the troops and equipment, the food and supplies will be carried out first, and the route to Ezhou and attack Xuzhou! Let the Guo Wei of Zhou State see the power of our Tang Dynasty imperial guards!"

Everyone said in unison: "As for your order!"

After a moment, Li Yuan suddenly stood up and said, "Reported to the Prime Minister, although Langzhou is pacified, Dongxi Man on the west side has always been in vain with Langzhou. Although the enemy's head fled under Linyuan City, it has not hurt its roots. It is still a stubborn disease in the Tang Dynasty! The last general is worried that once our army goes north, Dongxi Man will take the opportunity to attack, so we must guard against it!"

"Well! This statement makes sense!" Chen Jue nodded in agreement, and then said, "It's just that my army is about to march north, so you must not delay it! In contrast, the Dongxi Man is just a scattered craving, and the Central Plains is the foundation for my revival of the Tang Dynasty! If Li Yuhou had a plan, he could say it!"

Li Yuan bowed and said earnestly: "The last general has fought with the barbarians and was lucky enough to win, so he asked to lead his army to stay in Langzhou! If the Dongxi barbarians dare to invade, they will all suppress them!"

"This..." Chen Jue was hesitant. There was nothing wrong with Li Yuan's words, but now Li Yuan is even more reliable than Liu Yanzhen and Zhou Ben. In the future, big and small wars will definitely be indispensable. Then he said worriedly: "Although that is the case, our army's northern expedition is important. How can we miss such a good general like Li Yuhou? This may be the case. My prime minister ordered Li Jianqi to stay in Langzhou, and he also made contributions in Jiashan!"

When everyone was silent, Feng Yanlu suddenly took over the conversation and said jokingly: "Since Li Jianqi was stationed in Yiyang, he had been defeated repeatedly, and was even more frustrated by the barbarians. This matter is known to everyone in the court! The victory last time was just based on Li Yuhou's plan, not his ability to Li Jianqi! Chen Envoy, do you really dare to hand over Langzhou to him? If Langzhou is in a loss, Your Majesty will be furious!"

Hearing this, Chen Jue's face became gloomy and asked coldly: "According to Feng's intention to stay at Langzhou, who should I order to station in Langzhou?"

Feng Yanlu smiled very naturally: "Why do you have to ask more questions about Chen's envoy? It's far away in the sky and is close in front of you! Apart from Li Yuhou, who can resist the cunning barbarian soldiers? Who can guarantee that Langzhou will not be lost? I will forget that this battle can be based on Li Yuhou's achievements..."

Jianjie? Hearing this, Li Yuan's heart immediately surged. He thought he could only give himself a governor, but unexpectedly, Feng Yanlu talked about Jianjie? He released the military governor and opened the government to recruit soldiers. Isn't this just his own thoughts? The Feng brothers have always been inconsistent with him, but today is surprising. This is clearly trying to drag Chen Jue down...

Chen Jue was hesitant, and several aides kept whispering beside him, and the scene became anxious for a while.

After a moment, Chen Jue seemed to be moved by his staff, sighed and said to Li Yuan: "Mr. Li Yu, please lead your army to station in Langzhou as you ask! However, this western expedition, the army was damaged, and the Guardian Army still had to go north with me, so we could only leave half of the troops to you! As for what Feng Liuzhao said about building a festival, medieval will immediately write a stamp to ask for you!"
