Jimen is ancient, independent thinking atmosphere.She was all alone, and her hair was white.Xun Yong is dead now, and he doesn't know General Huo.

……

The reason why Bai Fu killed the main generals of the Pinglu Army headed by Chen Wei was to kill and establish his prestige, so as to deter the three armies.

There is a saying that the rafters in the early years rot first, and Chen Wei, who is overbearing, unfortunately becomes the rafters in the early years.

After the Pinglu army surrendered, Anbeiting lined up and settled in Guangling City.

When the army entered the city, they couldn't see the fathers and folks who had a single pot of food paste and welcomed Master Wang.Every household closed their doors to thank customers, and the doors of shops were locked. In the entire Guangling City, there was hardly a single person, and there were no chickens crowing or dogs barking, just like ghosts.

Xiucai brought a dozen or so scouts into the streets and alleys to inquire about news.

After entering the city, Bai Fu immediately rectified the surrendered Pinglu Army and Liu Zhan Army, and issued a series of strict military orders one after another.Chen Wei's death is imminent, and the surrendered soldiers dare not refuse.

In a few days, the appearance of Guangling City's army changed drastically, and it took on a completely new look. Whether it was the mental outlook of the soldiers of the three armies or the defensive structure of the city, they all clearly bore the brand of Bai Fu.

This is Bai Fu's method.

A few days later, Tian Shengong received the heads of Chen Wei and others.Tian Shengong was furious at first, but when he calmed down, he suddenly trembled and felt terrified.

The two thousand Pinglu army was elite, and there was a city with high walls and thick walls to rely on, but they were wiped out by the Anxi army in one round.What a frightening power this is.

Looking at Chen Wei's terrified expression before he died, Tian Shengong had a premonition that Bai Fu was waiting for him to send troops to attack.At that time, not only will he be decapitated, but he will also be charged with treason, implicating the entire family.

But staying in Shouzhou is not a long-term solution. You can escape the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day.Seeing that Bai Fu was so decisive in killing and attacking, Tian Shengong was not sure whether the military supervisor Xing Yanen could really save his life.

Xing Yanen and Bai Fu, these two thighs can only hug one.

After thinking about it, Tian Shengong decided to confess to Bai Fu.Tian Shengong bit the bullet and went to Guangling City to kowtow, and knelt at the gate of the city to plead guilty.

Without further ado, Bai Fu immediately ordered Tian Shengong to be pushed out of the gate and beheaded on the grounds that the Pinglu army had poisoned the people of Chu and Yangzhou.

Yuchi Huqi and Li Feishubao begged Bai Funian Zai Tian Shengong to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and defeated Shi Siming's rebels many times, begging Bai Funian to give Tian Shengong another chance.

Only then did Bai Fu take back his order.

Of course, all of these are the double reeds sung by Bai Fu, Yuchi Huqi, and Li Feishubao.

In Bai Fu's view, now is not the time to kill Tian Shengong.

Tian Shengong recovered a life from under the guillotine, and his back was soaked.This trip to the ghost gate allowed Tian Shengong to thoroughly learn Bai Fu's methods, and since then he bowed his head and ears in front of Bai Fu, cautiously, and diligently performed his duties.

Bai Fu ordered Tian Shengong to return the looted property to Hu merchants and common people in Chu and Yang states.The people who have died will give compensation to their family members who are still alive.The looted food was given to the people in Chu and Yangzhou, and it was guaranteed that the people would not die of cold and hunger.

Bai Fuen fought both powerful and powerful, and it didn't take long to win the hearts of the Pinglu Army and Liu Zhanjun soldiers.

Although there are still many generals in the Jianghuai Eight Route Army who are not convinced in their hearts, at least on the surface, they have to accept Bai Fu's command and dispatch, and no one dares to disobey his military orders casually.Among these generals are Deng Jingshan, the Jiedu envoy of Huainan East, and Xing Yanen, the envoy of the supervising army.

Liu Zhanzhi's rebellion made Bai Fu suspicious of Xing Yanen, and even made Bai Fu murderous towards Datang's eunuch group.

On his way to Jianghuai, Bai Fu received a military report:
On the day Bai Fu led Jianghuai to suppress the rebellion, Emperor Suzong once issued an edict ordering Guo Ziyi to lead an army of [-] troops to attack Fan Yang directly from Shuofang.

But ten days after the edict was issued, the "Peng Yuan Countermeasure" was sabotaged and obstructed by the eunuch Yu Chaoen, and Guo Ziyi's command of the army could not be carried out.

Then think of the previous eunuch Li Fuguo who used soldiers and horses to forcibly hijack the Supreme Emperor Xuanzong and move to the Taiji Palace.

Of these two matters, one is related to the family affection and filial piety of the Suzong father and son for thousands of years, and the other is more related to the war and peace of the entire Tang Dynasty, but the eunuchs made up their minds in the end.It can be seen that the depth and breadth of the eunuch group's control of the government is no less than that of the ten permanent servants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Bai Fuben could follow the example of Sima Rangjia who killed Zhuang Jia and killed the supervisor Xing Yanen to gain power.The reason why Xing Yanen, Jianghuai Dutong Li Yao, Tian Shengong and others were spared was that Bai Fu suspected that some kind of force was secretly manipulating the eunuch group and waiting for an opportunity to disrupt the situation in the Tang Dynasty.Bai Fu wants to keep the clue of Xing Yanen, and follow the clues to find out who is behind the scenes.

After sorting things out, Bai Fu ordered Tang Kui: "Send secret spies to closely monitor the situation in the East China Sea to see if there is any change in the Silla and Fusang navy?
Immediately ask the eldest grandson Yanxing to transfer the Jiangnan Navy to go north from Quanzhou to garrison Hangzhou Bay. "

……

Inside the gate, Bai read Bi's military newspapers again, stood up with his hands behind his back, and said to Tang Kui and Xiucai: "After reading these Jianghuai military newspapers, I'm really angry.

When Liu Zhan raised his troops to rebel, he held a large number of troops and had enough food and fodder, so he would not be able to lose thousands of miles.

However, these high-ranking officials who were pampered and respected on weekdays were greedy for life and afraid of death, left the city and the army, and took the lead in fleeing, which greatly fueled the arrogance of the rebel army.

It can be seen that the reason why Liu Zhan was able to sweep the Jianghuai and invincible was not because Liu Zhan's Songzhou Army was so brave and good at fighting, but because there was arrogance, luxury, laziness, and pleasure in the officialdom of Jianghuai from top to bottom.

Nearly a hundred high-ranking officials fled for their lives, and the only one who led his troops to resist was Li Tsang, the deputy of Li Yao, the governor of the Jianghuai River. "

Tang Kui sighed: "That's right. Before Li Yao fled Runzhou, Li Zangyong begged bitterly: "As an official of the imperial court, it is disloyal to flee in front of the battle; he is in charge of dozens of states' soldiers, horses, money and food. With the danger of the three rivers and five lakes, It is not brave to flee without fighting. Although Li is not talented, he is willing to gather the remnants of the defeated generals to stand here and resist the rebels.'”

After Li Yao couldn't wait to escape, Li Zangyong gathered more than [-] remnant soldiers and recruited more than [-] rebels from Suzhou to build a position and set up fences to resist Liu Zhan.Later, he fought with the rebel Zhang Jingchao in Yushu (now northwest of Suzhou), but was defeated and had to retreat to Hangzhou. "

Bai Fu nodded and said: "This reminds me of when An Lushan rebelled, all the counties in Hebei fell, only Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing vowed not to flee, and called the rebel army to resist the rebel An Lushan.

Emperor Taizong's "Blessing Xiaoyu" said in a poem: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the toughness knows the loyal ministers."

Li Zang can entrust this person with important tasks. "

Just before Tang Kui went out, Bai Fu suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is the 'water demon' Jiang Shar doing?"

Tang Kui said: "Ever since you surrendered in Chang'an, Jiang Sha'er has been serving Abbot Kong. After Abbot Kong went south from the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, he stayed in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou.

Before going south, I had already contacted Abbot Kong Gexin.The abbot said that Jiang Sha'er's inner demons have been eliminated, and he has changed his mind and is ready to serve the general. "

Bai Fu nodded, and said: "After serving Abbot Kong for so long, it is estimated that Jiang Sha'er's hostility has almost been enlightened by Buddhism.

Immediately transfer Jiang Shaer to serve in the army.The chessboard of waterways in the south of the Yangtze River is criss-crossed and intricate, and it is a good time for him to show his skills. "
