After Li Tan took the oath of war in Wuwei, Jiang Lun first remonstrated with Li Tan:
"Your Highness, the money law in Guanzhong is in chaos. Please bring the new money from Longyou with the army to bring peace to the people in Guanzhong!"
"good!"
Immediately afterwards, Xue Hu, who came from Lanzhou, said:
"Your Highness, the Tibetans have garrisoned the city of Migan. I would like to ask you to bombard Migan for three days to prevent the Tibetans from attacking our army's rear areas."
Li Tan nodded and said:
"Can!"
Xue Hu immediately ordered the artillery in Lanzhou City to set out for Migan City. They must first hurt and frighten those hiding in Migan City, so as not to let them cause trouble behind the northwest army when it moved south.
At this time Li Mi stood up and said:
"Your Highness's oath to raise troops will definitely shock the world. Now the Guanzhong defenders don't have to worry about it. The only thing we need to worry about is the Shence Army on the front line to counter the rebellion."
Li Tan asked solemnly:
"If Mr. Mi has any teachings, please tell me!"
Li Mi immediately bowed and said:
"I have two policies, up and down."
"Please speak."
"The Shence Army is commanding the army of Li Fuguo, and I have an old relationship with him. This man is vicious and cunning, but sometimes he is the best at changing the direction of the wind. Your Highness has raised up the world's righteous armies. I can be the envoy to persuade Li Fuguo to lead the Shence Army to surrender. Then Chang'an
It’s at your fingertips.”
Li Tan frowned, and Li Mi continued:
"The other strategy is for His Highness to use his majestic troops to defeat the Shence Army on the battlefield. That way the whole world can be convinced!"
Only then did Li Tan smile and say:
"Good, persuading Li Fuguo to surrender is a shortcut. Although shortcuts are good, how can we take shortcuts to win the world?"
"Today, we are raising troops to fight against rebellion. We are not only fighting against traitors like Shi Siming, but also treacherous people like Li Fuguo. If we can't do it in one fell swoop, how can we leave the disaster behind?"
"We will not negotiate with Li Fuguo, but those in the Shence Army who can uprightly surrender to our army will not hesitate to reward them."
Li Mi bowed and said:
"Your Highness is wise!"
After agreeing on these three matters, Li Tan ordered Zeng Mu, who was the magistrate of Ganzhou in Jiuquan, to sit in Hexi and coordinate the transportation of materials from the rear and the government affairs of Longyou and Hexi.
In fact, no matter where Li Tan is, he can command remotely. The appointment of Zeng Mu is just to calm the hearts of the indigenous people in the rear.
Just after Li Tan took the oath of sworn brother, the Uighur commander Ke Dun wrote a letter to Li Tan in the name of the Uighur Khan.
Li Guang's confidants said that the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs were in a marriage alliance. Li Guang asked the Uighur Khan to call Li Tan "Father Zhong" and offered to use the Khan's 5,000 cavalry to help Li Tan pacify the Tang Dynasty.
"Civil unrest".
Immediately afterwards, Ge Luolu, Tuqishi, Xigasi, and various tribes in Modong also sent envoys to Li Tan, each offering to support Li Tan in quelling the rebellion.
Li Tan wrote back to Zhuhu to express his gratitude and rejected their request for support.
Li Tan made it clear, "To put an end to the civil strife is a family matter in the Tang Dynasty, and the lonely king should do his best to deal with it."
At the same time, Li Tan ordered the Xuanwei envoys from various places to attack Hu and not to have any thoughts when Longyou sent troops south.
At this time, Longyou's huge war machine began to operate.
All generals and players in the northwest have received legendary level missions, and each went to the nearest Zhechong Captain's Mansion to report and accept reorganization.
The new recruits who had been trained by Zhechong Duwei Mansion also went to Wuwei to gather.
After counting by the staff, the players and natives mobilized this time totaled 150,000 people. After gathering in Wuwei, they went south to Lanzhou, and then joined Xue Hu's army who was attacking Tubo in Lanzhou, and then headed south to enter the pass together!
Before marching, Li Mi admonished again:
"If you raise a great army, you must have a name. Please, Your Highness, decide who will send the troops?"
Li Tan nodded and said:
"This army was raised to fight against rebellion, to 'punish traitors, punish traitors, and put down rebellion'!"
Li Mi took his ministers and paid homage again:
"Then in what capacity does Your Highness want to suppress rebellion?"
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, and then heard Li Mi continue:
"I would like to request that Your Highness be given the title of 'Recruiting General' so that he can lead the world's troops and bring peace to the world."
"good!"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Jun, who led the staff, read out the march plan for this rebellion.
Xu Jun's plan was almost the same as Li Heng's route from Lingwu to Guanzhong, but this time he started from Wuwei, entered Yuanzhou and then Longzhou, then entered Fengxiang Prefecture and then forced his troops to attack Chang'an.
Hearing this plan, Li Mi was filled with emotion. This was the second time he had taken this road.
Looking at the young face of the Yue King, Li Mi just hoped that this time there would be a good result.
In Chang'an City, after Li Heng fainted, the imperial physician immediately diagnosed and treated Li Heng.
Several imperial doctors quickly reached a consensus that the emperor was suffering from a heart attack due to a sudden attack of anger.
The imperial doctors immediately performed acupuncture on Li Heng. After a lot of trouble, Li Heng finally woke up.
Although the emperor woke up, Li Heng found that half of his body could not move.
Mu Rong lay on the edge of Li Heng's palace and cried bitterly. Li Heng raised his left hand that could still move and pointed at the palace in the distance.
Li Heng tried to speak, but because half of his face was paralyzed, he could only make muffled sounds.
"Pen"
Mu Rong quickly understood Li Heng's intention. He immediately rushed over to pick up the paper and pen, spread them on Yuta, and stuffed the pen full of ink into Li Heng's hand.
Because he was using his left hand, Li Heng wrote a few words crookedly.
"Seal the palace gates and mobilize the gods and troops to protect them."
After writing these words, Li Heng seemed to have exhausted all his strength. The imperial pen in his hand fell to the ground, and he could not control the drool from the corner of his mouth.
Mu Rong immediately wiped away Li Heng's saliva and then asked:
"Your Majesty, where is the Queen?"
Li Heng immediately shook his head. Mu Rong understood what Li Heng meant and said:
"The minister has blocked the news and will not let the queen know about it."
"Here comes someone! Please ask the imperial doctor to go to the side hall to rest. From today on, he will stay in the side hall and treat His Majesty. If you have any needs, leave them to us!"
Mu Rong made a quick decision, and Li Heng nodded with satisfaction.
Then Mu Rong asked again:
"Where is the Emperor?"
Li Heng shook his head, and Mu Rong immediately said:
"The emperor has also blocked the news."
Li Heng struggled to sit up again, and Mu Rong quickly put the imperial pen into his hand again.
After writing the word "auxiliary" with all his strength, Mu Rong immediately said:
"Your Majesty wants to inform the general of the auxiliary country to return to Chang'an to protect him?"
Li Heng cast an approving look at Mu Rong, and Mu Rong immediately said:
"I will send a reliable confidant to handle it now!"
Only then did Li Heng lie down on the imperial bed with peace of mind. Mu Rong quickly summoned the imperial doctor to continue diagnosing the emperor, and then hurriedly walked out of the imperial study.
The Shence Army responsible for guarding the Imperial Study Room has long been infiltrated by players. Although the Xiao Xiao standing at the entrance of the palace is not a player, he also has several players under his command.
Mu Rong called the primary school teacher and said:
"Your Majesty has ordered that the imperial study be sealed off and no one is allowed to approach it!"
The principal asked in a low voice:
"Eunuch Mu, who does this refer to?"
Mu Rong nodded and said: "That's the literal meaning, including the queen."
The colonel took a breath. He immediately understood the key point and quickly deployed his men to defend the palace.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Rong called a player, and he sent a list to the player and said:
"These are the spies planted by the queen, the prince and the emperor in the palace. You should take people to arrest them all."
The player smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Eunuch Mu, these people are also on our list."
Mu Rong continued:
"I'm going to Dongchang now. You have to be careful and don't let the Queen in."
"I understand, I understand, Eunuch Mu is still worried about our work? You will have to rely on this time to gain experience for upgrading!"
Mu Rong ordered a few more able-bodied players and followed him to the Dongchang next to Yeting.
Because Dongchang was able to handle things effectively, the emperor allocated a few more palaces to them to work. Now Dongchang is already a large organization.
When Mu Rong walked into the East Factory, everyone put down their errands and saluted him.
It was a troubled time at this time, and Dongchang was also very busy. Mu Rong looked around and said:
"Why isn't Eunuch Guang here?"
A young eunuch immediately said:
"Eunuch Guang is out."
"Where did you go?"
Mu Rong had always been kind and calm in Dongchang, but now he showed his momentum. The little eunuch was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he knelt down and said:
"Go, go to the Queen's Palace."
Mu Rong sneered and said:
"I didn't expect him to be in such a hurry, but it saves the Za family trouble."
Mu Rong called a few more of his father-in-law's names, but half of them were not in the Dongchang Yamen.
Mu Rong sneered and said:
"According to His Majesty's order, those named above who colluded with foreign ministers will be immediately detained in Dongchang for questioning."
The soldiers behind him stepped forward and immediately arrested several eunuchs whose names were called. The eunuchs whose names were not called were trembling with fear and trembling all over.
Then Mu Rong said:
"Does the person who monitors the general's mansion of the auxiliary country have any news to report?"
One of the eunuchs immediately came up and reported:
"Someone from the Queen's Palace just wanted to enter the Fuguo General's Mansion."
"Then what?"
"I was stopped by Banzi from Dongchang."
Mu Rong nodded and said:
"Very good, but we can only hide it for a while. General Fuguo will return to Chang'an soon."
When Mu Rong said this, the eunuchs around him became nervous.
Mu Rong smiled and said:
"In our line of work, there is no airtight wall. However, General Fuguo will naturally have someone to 'greet' him. We just have to do our own thing well."
Mu Rong continued:
"The families of several prime ministers and other important ministers are keeping a close eye on them, and whoever they contact must be recorded!"
"The same goes for the princes and clan members in Chang'an. These files must be sorted out."
"The last one is East Palace and Xingqing Palace. You must pay attention to these two places. Do you understand?"
The eunuchs immediately said:
"The factory owner understands!"
At the same time, Wang Chengwei, the magistrate of Wannian County, and Shang Bo, the envoy of the Longyou Governor's Mansion in the backyard, were sitting in the meeting hall of Jingzhao Mansion drinking tea. Opposite them was the pale-faced Jingzhao Yin.
