Chapter 101 Liu Zhiyuan is in Luoyang
Xijing, Luoyang.

The majestic and majestic city stands above Luoshui.After the baptism of war and the invasion of wind and frost, even if it is constantly going downhill, the historical heritage of the thousand-year-old capital is still there.

It was the end of April, Meng Xia's tail was shrouded in the scorching sun, and the weather was a bit irritating. People in the country who were used to the climate were impatient, let alone those barbarians outside the region.

Outside the huge city, there are more than ten large camps with various flags and flags, but a few of them are more prominent, with black robes, black armor and black flags, which are from the Imperial Guards of the Hedong New Dynasty.

Guanyou is poor and poor, but the situation there is still chaotic and tense. It is not just the "anti-Liao movement", the army of Houshu is taking advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains, actively advancing, and constantly invading and expanding.It seems that Shu Emperor Meng Chang's wild ambitions are not small. The four prefectures of Qin and Feng that he won are not counted.

After making a not-so-big circle, he built a barely reliable line of defense to the west of the capital, and Liu Zhiyuan led his army into Yiluo calmly.

Recently, the emperor Liu Zhiyuan is in a particularly good mood. The strategy of entering the Central Plains is going too smoothly. He drives straight forward and is invincible all the way. The resistance he faces in reality is far less than expected.During this journey, they were basically spent recruiting surrenders and accepting rebels, and made considerable breakthroughs in all aspects.

On the other side of Huaizhou, after more than a month of siege, the city of Hanoi was finally broken by Shi Hongzhao, and Cui Tingxun, the false governor of Heyang, finally became a loyal minister of Khitan. When the city was broken, it was killed by rebels.

For Shi Hongzhao's side, the cost was not too high. He probably calculated the date of Liu Zhiyuan's arrival and led the crowd to join him in Luoyang.

After hearing that Liu Zhiyuan was coming, the rebel army from the land of Heluo also gathered to surrender and show their loyalty. However, the idea of ​​these people wanting to make a living is more real.After the plunder of the Khitan people, not to mention the ordinary people, even the army thieves were hungry.

Liu Zhiyuan also accepted them all, and selected warriors from them to supplement the imperial army, especially those who had military experience in the Shijin imperial army, so they could be used.After entering Heluo from the east, Liu Zhiyuan's troops rapidly expanded, but the difference between good and bad became more and more obvious.

Of course, Liu Zhiyuan was most delighted and surprised by the news of the Battle of Luancheng!

After carefully reading the battle report sent from Zhenzhou and listening to the envoy's description, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.After the joy, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel incredible about the courage and luck of his family, Erlang, and couldn't help himself at the glory of the battle.

Compared with Liu Chengyou's side division in Hebei, which was determined to forge ahead and be proud, Liu Zhiyuan's side, with an empty army, achieved somewhat insufficient results.

Hearing the death of the Liao emperor and the defeat of the Liao army, Liu Zhiyuan's psychological pressure plummeted, and his spirit also lifted, and he was no longer as conservative as before.In the palace city of Luoyang, at the Palace of Imperial Civilization, he received officials from Xijing, and began to discuss the matter of changing the country name. The dilapidated signboard of "Jin Kingdom" has no use value at present, so it should be discarded.

At the same time, many generals in the guards' army, headed by Shi Hongzhao, pleaded for orders several times, eager to advance eastward and take Kaifeng.They were also stimulated by the result of the battle of Luancheng.

To Liu Chengyou, Liu Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and once again issued an order to serve as Chengde Jiedu envoy, Hebei military system envoy, Shou Sikong, and general affairs of Hebei provinces.The name is very loud, but the actual effect is not great.However, it did indeed give him the opportunity to intervene in the military affairs of the Hebei states.After that, Liu Zhiyuan also agreed to all the military expansion, rewards, and appointments of some officials that Liu Chengyou had listed.

At this time, someone pointed out that the second prince's power was too heavy, and suggested to Liu Zhiyuan implicitly that he should take precautions.Liu Zhiyuan was furious when he heard this, suspected that he was alienating the relationship between father and son, and ordered the speaker to be killed.

Then, in less than two days, Liu Zhiyuan led the army from Taiyuan to Zhenzhou to support Liu Chengyou with Liu Chengxun, the eldest son of the emperor, as the Jiedu Envoy of the Anguo Army, the recruiting envoy of Hebei provinces, and the guardian of Situ, and escorted the seized property back south.

Since entering Luo, Liu Zhiyuan, who was deeply aware of the dilapidated capital, has already felt the huge financial pressure. The large amount of property seized is indeed very important for the new dynasty to return a big mouthful of blood.If you don't have it, you don't think about it. If you have it, you can't help Liu Zhiyuan from thinking about it.

You know, on the other side of the river east, in order to support the advancement of the Central Plains, the finances are about to collapse. In order to raise money, food, ordnance, and clothes, the third division envoy Wang Zhang has a lot of hair, and many severe means of exploitation have come to an end. People's hearts are unstable.

In the palace city, Liu Zhiyuan received another Jiedu envoy, Heyang Jiedu Wu Xingde, who came to see him, and he personally appointed him.Liu Zhiyuan was very kind to these Jieshuai who dared to be the first in the world and expressed their surrender when the situation was not clear in the early days.

And Wu Xingde should also be a very knowledgeable person. He personally led the army across the river from Mengjin and expressed his intention to send the emperor to Tokyo.At the same time, he transported all the food and materials he collected in Heyang to offer as a dedication. Although the amount is not large, it is enough to show his heart.

Liu Zhiyuan was very satisfied with such a smart person, and gave him clothes, silk, and good weapons, and encouraged him more.And Wu Xingde is also a native of Bingzhou, and he treats him more and more kindly.In this era, there are really Hedong generals everywhere.

"Military discipline still needs to be rectified!" After personally inspecting the military camps around Luoyang, Liu Zhiyuan's black and ugly face was clearly dissatisfied.Although the number of troops has increased, the supervision of military discipline has obviously been relaxed.

"We haven't entered Tokyo yet, there are still many dissidents in Daozhou, and I don't know how many battles to fight. Everything can be relaxed, only the army can't!" Liu Zhiyuan reprimanded with anger in his voice.

The generals and schools present all promised.Shi Hongzhao's face was also a little ugly. As the commander of the guards and horse infantry, and the top leader of the Imperial Guard, he was naturally responsible for the problems.

He had a bad temper and lost face in front of Liu Zhiyuan. Naturally, his heart was filled with anger, and he assured Liu Zhiyuan with a sullen face: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will deal with it seriously in the end!"

Although Shi Hongzhao has a perverse and rebellious personality, he still has a way of managing soldiers, especially when it comes to military discipline, he uses severe punishments to restrain the soldiers under his command.Leading the army to the south, his Wu Jie army completely managed to commit no crimes against Yu Minqiu.

Among the armies in Hedong back then, only the Wujie Army under the command of Shi Hongzhao could compare with the rectified Longxi Army in terms of military discipline.But because his methods were too ruthless, most soldiers feared Shi Hongzhao's power and hated him.

And judging from his expression, in order to give Liu Zhiyuan an explanation, I am afraid that he will be cruel again.
