Chapter 517 Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness
"Is he confused?"
Yang Jun argued in a low voice, "If he only lost a few thousand and defeated the 200,000 troops of Nanliang, Tuyuhun, Yu Zhong, and Yuanli, believe it or not, the imperial court would dispatch him after hearing the news.
Military power, the imperial envoy who escorted him to Beijing?"
"It is not necessary to escort him to the capital, but it is inevitable to send another supervisory army to guard against him in every possible way!"
Li Shao breathed out slowly, "Fortunately, the overall situation has been decided, that is, Gaoping, Bo Gulu has not yet been settled, but as soon as the news of Changyi's defeat reaches the north, Yan Ti, Lu Gong, and Yu Jingzhi
They will naturally collapse without a fight. Just ridicule Kangsheng and Gao Meng, and they can be taken care of..."
"It makes sense!"
Yang Jun echoed in an extremely perfunctory manner. Seeing the trick, Li Daoyuan had followed Li Chengzhi into the Yamen hall, and Li Rui and other personal guards had been stationed outside the hall. There were no more ears nearby, so he suppressed his voice.
Extremely low: "If... the persecution is too much, why not do one thing without stopping and the other without stopping?"
Even though Li Shao was as calm as a mountain, he was still frightened.
Is Yang Jun crazy?
Are you really thinking that this 100,000-strong army has become Li Chengzhi’s private soldier?
Whenever a decree from the imperial court comes, a hundred thousand soldiers can disarm on the spot. What do you want Li Chengzhi to do without doing anything?
Just rely on the hundreds of Li family retainers?
It’s just a fool’s errand...
After all, he had been practicing for decades, and although his heart was overwhelming, Li Shao's face was calm and calm. He just glanced at Yang Jun coldly: "I will pretend I have never heard of what I said today. If you don't want to harm your wife, children, and children,
It’s better to say less in the future..."
After saying that, he walked away.
Being so intimidated by him, Yang Jun did not show any panic on his face, but secretly cursed: As expected of Li Shao, his defense is watertight?
It seems that Li Chengzhi has no objection, at least not yet.
What a pity...
Muttering secretly, he hurriedly took two steps and followed Li Shao into the government hall.
Li Rui made a cup of hot tea for Li Chengzhi. The others couldn't bear to drink it, so a crafty attendant poured the wine.
Li Chengzhi held the tea cup and bowed from a distance: "Brother Jisun made a mistake when he was in a hurry when he was so talented!"
If in the past, Yang Jun would either make a tone, or pretend to curse a few words with a playful smile, this incident would be over.
But today, when Li Chengzhi formally apologized to him, Yang Jun was a little flattered. It felt like he had been stabbed in the butt. He stood up immediately, clasped his hands and said, "The commander-in-chief is serious!"
Several cases were almost overturned, which shows how helpless Yang Jun is.
But no one laughed at him, including Li Shao.
It is true that in the past few months, Li Chengzhi's authority has become more and more serious, and the awe and remembrance of his subordinates have become more and more serious day by day.
When Li Chengzhi called Li Shao Shibo again, Li Shao no longer dared to respond?
After all, after these great victories, all the strange things are vividly visible. These generals have already shocked Li Chengzhi into a god...
Seeing him like this, Li Chengzhi didn't care. Just as he was about to discuss military affairs with Li Shao and others, he saw Li Rui coming quickly.
"Commander, the man from Yuan County is calling urgently!"
"Speak!"
"At around noon, nearly ten thousand Hu soldiers suddenly rushed from the east to Wudu Pass. The men of Yuan County were shocked. They wanted to stop fighting and retreat, but they didn't want to hear the sound of gold ringing above Guan City.
At that time, the rebel general Gongsun Zhikan was leading his army out of the city, so the rebels in the city were unable to respond, and a sudden chaos broke out. The man from Yuanxian County took the opportunity to order the entire army to attack. In just half an hour, he killed more than 4,000 enemies, and the enemy was defeated without any hope.
, Gongsun Zhi died in the rebel army. Yu Zhong preferred to die and refused to surrender, and was beheaded under the city by the men of Yuan County...
But when they arrived at the city, the man from Yuan County realized that the city was completely empty and that the Hu army that had arrived after Murong Gao had fled..."
Yu Zhong died and Murong Gao escaped?
Naturally, Navuluo also escaped...
Li Chengzhi couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, he had already expected it: after crossing the river in the morning, he sent people to report that not only Yuan Liyu turned against the enemy in front of the formation, but even Fu Luo suddenly killed Chen Bing at the entrance of Chencang Valley, as if he had accidentally stabbed him with a knife.
The Confederate Army Central Camp.
Later, when he saw the Wei army crossing the river, he realized that there was no hope of taking the road, so Fuluocai resolutely led his army to the west.
At that time, Li Chengzhi knew that Fu Luo had been defeated several times in a row and was in panic all day long. When he rushed to Wudu, he had no intention of helping Yu Zhong and Yuan Zhi to fight.
Therefore, when he suddenly arrived in Wudu, Yu Zhong and Gongsun Zhi were defeated.
But I didn’t expect that Yu Zhong was so courageous that he would rather die than surrender?
I also didn’t expect that Volo would run so fast?
Counting from Mao hour to the end of the hour, it was only four and a half hours, and Fuluo actually ran nearly three hundred miles?
That's it for eight hundred miles of expedited work. It shows how anxious he is?
Li Chengzhi didn't expect to keep Fulo, so it was not a disappointment.
He had even thought that Chang Yizhi, Pei Sui and others could retreat safely, and if they died, they could capture and kill ten or twenty thousand Confederate troops.
Therefore, when he heard the news that Chang Yi was executed and Pei Sui was captured alive, he was overjoyed, but before he could laugh, he was completely washed away by the news of a loss of 20,000 yuan.
That’s all...
He sighed sadly: "Send a horse to Yuan County to pass the order: Immediately recover Liangquan, annex Wudu, and Baima Second Pass. If you encounter the Southern Army and the bandits, come and report immediately... Well, order him to capture Cui Shenchi as soon as possible."
Send it..."
After Li Rui took the order and left, Li Chengzhi asked Diao Zheng again: "Where is Yuan Li?"
"After the city was broken, he wanted to come with his generals to see the commander, but I refused... Then I sent all the remaining 7,000 soldiers under his command to the upper city..."
Diao Zheng responded, "If the commander wants to summon him, I will summon him immediately?"
"It's no need to meet you. When Cui Zuji comes, we will go to the capital with him..."
Li Chengzhi muttered, "It was a mistake to suddenly go against the will and help the tyrants to do harm. But I suddenly realized that it was a meritorious service to end the chaos. But whether the merits and demerits can be offset is not something I, Li, can say. Therefore, it is useless to see it, but it saves a lot of trouble."
This is a hypocritical politeness. Let the decision be made by the Queen Mother and the princes in the court. We just need to be impartial and repay the truth truthfully..."
Everyone echoed in unison: "This is how it should be!"
"Well... I don't bother the two masters. Since I want to escort them to the capital, I will take Chang Yizhi's body, Pei Sui and Cheng Jingjun and others to the capital... I will bother Brother Ji Sun as the envoy.
, and then sent Yuan Zhao as deputy envoy, and by the way, reported the success of this period to the court..."

Good news...good news?
Yang Jun was startled, and in an instant, his face turned red, as if he was drunk.
Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan next to them were very envious: This was a victory for the capital, and such a big victory would definitely make Long Yan happy and shocked both the government and the public.
It is necessary to reward those who report good results with some wealth. If the Queen Mother and the princes are happy, it is not impossible to be promoted several levels immediately.
Those who are happy are naturally happy, and those who are envious are naturally envious, but there are also those who are suspicious.
It’s not surprising that Yang Jun is sent as the chief envoy. After all, Li Chengzhi doesn’t have many close friends, and apart from Yang Jun, the only person who is important enough to go to Beijing to report his victory is Li Shao.
However, the war has not yet ended, Bo Gu Lv and Gao Ping are still undecided, and the war is about to end, Guanzhong is full of desolation, and hundreds of wastes are waiting to be revitalized. Li Shao still needs to shoulder the important task, and the leader is naturally Yang Jun.
But why is the deputy envoy Yuan Zhao?
Li Shao couldn't help but have similar thoughts in his mind.
Just as I was doubting myself, I suddenly heard Li Chengzhi shout loudly: "Generals, listen to your orders!"
The four of them were slightly startled, and quickly stood up: "Commander, please give me some instructions!"
"I will write the memorial later and you will set off at dawn tomorrow, so it has nothing to do with you..."
Li Chengzhi asked Yang Jun to sit down, then moved him three places and said:
"For the rest, I have to worry about three people: in order to avoid epidemics, the dead bodies must be buried as soon as possible. They must not be exposed in the fields for a long time, let alone throw them into the river... This matter will be left to Governor Diao..."
"The general will obey the order!"
"Li Sima!"
"The end is here!"
"The captured Confederate troops, rebels, and rebellious criminals need to be organized into camps as soon as possible, and the remaining food and grass must be counted as soon as possible... Some of the people and food and grass will be left in the prefecture, and some will go north with me... Time is tight
, so I can only allow you three days...is that okay?"
"Don't worry, Commander!"
"Okay!"
Li Chengzhi turned his head again and looked at Li Shao, "Now that all the foreign invaders have been driven away, only domestic thieves remain, and there is no need for a hundred thousand soldiers. Moreover, it is already late spring, and it is less than two decades since the beginning of summer. If we miss these ten days, this number will be lost."
It would be unwise for the state's fertile farmland to be left idle for a year. Therefore, I want to dismiss the state soldiers on the spot and send them back to their hometowns for spring plowing. What does Uncle Shi think?"
Why so urgent?
Li Shao had a suspicion, but he still followed the good advice: "The commander-in-chief is compassionate and compassionate, which is really a blessing for my people in Guanzhong..."
Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan also expressed admiration, thinking that Duke Li was worthy of being Duke Li and was indeed a role model for our generation.
Only Yang Jun looked weird.
Just now, in order to test Li Shao, he even mentioned in a joking manner that if the imperial court forced too much, why didn't Li Chengzhi do it without stopping? And in the blink of an eye, he dismissed the army?
Is it possible that what he said came true and Li Chengzhi really thought that the court was already suspicious of him and even more afraid that he would commit such a treasonous act?
Yang Jun's heart stirred, and he said half seriously, half tentatively: "Now the overall situation has been settled, the high ground has been leveled, the thin bones have not been leveled, and more than 30% of the Chinese army's casualties have been killed or wounded, leaving only 30,000 people left. If you go north, it will not be enough.
This is a guarantee, so the general will think: Is it too early to dismiss the state soldiers?"
"Gaoping, thin bones are just a disease of scabies. Why do we need 30,000 troops? Xi Kangsheng of Jingzhou and Gao Meng of Xiazhou have gathered tens of thousands of troops in the north. I went there alone to pacify the two towns.
There is no need to worry...
But the imperial court has its own majesty. His Majesty came to the stage to pay homage to the general and gave me tiger talismans, golden festivals, and ceremonial guards, but he could not make it fall into dust. Therefore, I only need to lead an army of ten thousand to the north..."
Yang Jun chased after him: "What about the other 20,000?"
"The remaining 20,000 will naturally be left in Guanzhong!"
Li Chengzhi looked at Diao Zheng and Li Shao, "After a short rest, Governor Diao will command 10,000 troops and station them in Chencang, Baoxie, and Ziwu Roads to prevent the Southern Army from coming back. The remaining 10,000 will be handed over to
Uncle Shi is stationed in Qianyuan to prepare for emergencies..."
The four of them were stunned.
In this single battle, nearly 100,000 Southern Dynasty troops were lost. Even of the 40,000 defeated soldiers who fled back to Hanzhong over the mountains and ridges, less than half of them survived.
And fighting a war requires more than just people. It also requires food, grass, soldiers, chariots, horses... and so on.
So don't say that you can make a comeback in the blink of an eye. I'm afraid that even if you take another three to five years of rest, the Southern Dynasty may not be able to summon such a large army.
No matter how late Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan paused, they already figured out something was wrong: Li Chengzhi's move had a profound meaning, and the more he looked at it, the more he seemed to be expressing his feelings to the court...
The two of them looked at Li Chengzhi intently, with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.
Yang Jun even shouted in his heart: Look, look, it is indeed the case...
Only Li Shao was so lucky that he suddenly remembered what Li Shixian had said secretly to him that night: Chengzhi was very wise and had always been far-sighted, but after the late Emperor Bintian, he suddenly acted arrogantly and did not scrupulously eat meat and vegetables... Therefore, your brother is suspicious.
He should have done it intentionally...
Play hard to get?
But if you want to capture or manipulate, and if you want to look like you have been wronged, you should have a reason. Otherwise, it will be like making waves without wind, making trouble out of nothing, and there will be no three hundred taels of silver here... Wouldn't it be giving someone a handle?
?
Li Shao's thoughts moved slightly and he asked suspiciously: "But what happened?"
"Now that the weather is calm, how can anything change? The thunder, rain, and dew are all the kindness of the emperor, so they are not enough for outsiders... But because I remember the kindness of the late emperor, and I am more afraid that my great cause of defeating the thieves will collapse, I can only risk the world.
It’s a big mistake: ‘The general will be outside, and you will not give me your orders’...
Later, I will write a memorandum of apology in handwriting, and when brother Ji Sun comes to the capital, I will present it to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty on my behalf. I will also inform all the princes: When Gaoping is pacified, the rebels of Bo Gu Lv should bear the thorns and return to the capital. You can do whatever you want.
The result... is to behead someone like Li, and I would be happy to do so..."
Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness?
The great cause of defeating thieves collapsed in the middle?
I will be away, why don't you give me your orders?
These three sentences were like three thunderbolts, striking on the heads of the four people. Even Li Shao, who was as calm as Li Shao, changed his face in shock: "How could I not know when the imperial edict came from the imperial court?"
"Even I haven't seen my true face, let alone Uncle Shi?"
Li Chengzhi laughed softly and said, "We are already halfway there. If Brother Jisun walks faster, we should be able to reach Tongguan in a day or two!"
Yang Jun took a step forward and stared at Li Chengzhi: "Since the imperial decree is still in progress, how do you know so clearly?"
Li Chengzhi chuckled: "What do you think?"
Yang Jun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: I guess it’s a bird feather?
"Don't panic! Even if the court wants to punish me for my crime, it still has to wait until I put down the remaining abuse. After I return from Beizhen... so the sky cannot fall..."
Li Chengzhi stood up calmly, his eyes as cold as a knife, "So if you believe in me, you must guard Guanzhong and don't let the young people take advantage of you... Don't worry, it won't be long, at least a month."
, as long as three months, I will definitely return victoriously..."
How straightforward is this sentence?
None of these people are stupid, how could they not understand the meaning of Li Chengzhi’s words?
I will be away, and you will not give me your orders... I am like this, and so are you!
Thinking about it again at this time, Li Chengzhi dismissed the state soldiers on the spot and gave nearly 70% of his troops to Li Shao and Diao Zheng. This was not just to express his feelings to the court. He was also ensuring to their subordinates that he would not rebel and would not
Ability reverses...
Why did the situation suddenly reach this point? It was obviously an unparalleled achievement, but it ended up being punished.
And there was no clue beforehand?
Several people suddenly felt like they were in a dream, and the joy brought by the victory was completely shocked...
