Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 654
The winter in Daye 11 was very cold.

Continuous heavy snowfall in the Central Plains.

There was a piece of snow everywhere, but the snow still couldn't stop Li Mi's offensive.

In Xingyang, Xuchang, Huaiyang, Qiaojun, Liangjun, Dongjun, Jiyin, and Dongping, the rebel army was like a broken bamboo, sweeping eastward all the way, and the counties and counties either surrendered or were outnumbered.

Starting from Xingyang in the west, Lujun in the east, Pengcheng in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, only a few counties of the eight counties are still holding on.

Li Mi's scenery was boundless for a while.

In the city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, the emperor was still in the dark. He didn't know that Li Mi had already occupied Xingluocang and fought to the Luoshui River.

And the treacherous official in Luoyang City also buried his head, as if he didn't know and was still thinking of ways to deceive the emperor.Because Xiao Yu told the truth a few words, he was slandered by Pei Yun and others to have the emperor demote him out of Beijing and to Longyou.

Now, the emperor didn't even know what was going on outside.

In Luoyang City, this year's court gatherings are extra few.

Many local officials were either busy suppressing the chaos, or were blocked by rebels.

So Pei Yun simply suggested to the emperor that since the siege of Yanmen happened this year, there is no need to let officials from various counties enter the Beijing court this year, so that they can calm down and appease the place.

The emperor didn't think much about it, so he agreed.

"How is Shibi now?"

The emperor suddenly asked this day.

Pei Yun lowered her head, "It's cold winter, the Turks must be in cat winter."

"Is Shibi still in Monan?" the emperor asked again.

At this time, the emperor still didn't know the news of Daibei's victory, and he didn't know that Luo Cheng led the four towns to annihilate the Turkic army in Mayi, and Khan completed the battle.

Seeing that the emperor kept asking questions, Yu Shiji said vaguely, "It's cold today, with heavy snow in the north, the roads are not smooth, and the news outside the Great Wall is also blocked."

"Why haven't I seen Luo Cheng's memorial recently? When did he return to Liaodong last time? Is Liaodong still safe now?"

The four prime ministers, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, Su Wei, and Pei Shiju, talked to each other and kept changing the subject.

Soon, the emperor also diverted his attention. For him, the Turkic people are now a thorn in his heart, and it hurts when he mentions it, so he can't mention it if he can.

He thought that after he left last time, Luo Cheng and Siye almost drove the Turkic army out of the Great Wall and there was no follow-up.

"It's cold in the north now. I previously appointed Luo Siye as the envoy of Dingxiang Road, but the cold outside the Great Wall has no basis. If the Turks attack, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." The emperor thought for a while, "It's better to transfer Luo Siye back to the court. Cancel Dingxiang Road."

In the last battle, Luo Siye's performance was very loyal and brave. Although he went north to resist the imperial edict, the emperor didn't remember it too much.Now it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming again, and it will be the 12th year of Daye soon.

In the new year, the emperor also hopes to regain his strength.

The first thing he plans to do in the new year is to rebuild the Xiaoguo Army.

Now there are only 5 people left in the Xiaoguo Army, barely making up the two armies.

The emperor planned to transfer Luo Siye back to the Xiaoguo Army, and then recruit people to rebuild the Sixth Army based on the rest of the Xiaoguo Army.

When Yu Shiji heard that the emperor wanted to call Luo Siye back, he panicked a little.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Turkic wolf ambitions must be guarded against. The establishment of Dingxiang Road is very necessary. As for worrying that there is no danger outside the Great Wall, I think that Mayi County can be directly assigned to Dingxiang Road and Fanyang Mansion. The west part of Jundu Pass is also assigned to Dingxiang Road."

"Alternatively, it is also possible to set aside the north of Mayi to set up a Yunzhong County, and set up a Zhuo County to the east of Fanyang's military capital Guan to belong to Dingxiang Road."

Yang Guang shook his head.

"No need to be so troublesome?"

"Your Majesty, it is very necessary. Before the Turks went south, it was because we had been negligent in our defenses, so we had to strengthen our defenses. General Luo Siye is His Majesty's son-in-law. He is very loyal and brave, so he should stay in Saibei to guard."

After hearing this, Yang Guang felt that it made sense.

What if the Turkic people go south?
"Okay, then divide the north of Mayi into Yunnei County, and divide the east of Fanyang into Zhuo County, which will belong to Dingxiang Road and be guarded by Xuanwu Army Jiedu Envoy Luo Siye. Let Luo Siye move the Jiedu Envoy's office to Foreign Minister The Yunnei city in the city will not be attacked by the Turks. Also, let the Ministry of War and the twelve guards select soldiers and horses, and give Luo Siye a full [-] soldiers."

Once bitten by snakes, he was afraid of well snakes for ten years, and now the emperor is also afraid of Turkic people.

The four of them exchanged glances quietly.

Finally, Luo Siye was stopped from returning to the capital, otherwise, wouldn't he know everything when he came back?They don't want the emperor to know about Mayi's victory at all.

Luo Cheng, Wang Rengong and other border commanders' memorials were all intercepted by them.

After the great victory in Mayi, Luo Cheng's plan for the Turks, and Pei Shiju's four ministers discussed it and thought it was a good deal, so they all agreed, but they just didn't tell the emperor.

They didn't reply to Luo Cheng, and they didn't give any rewards to the generals of the four towns who won the battle, just pretend it didn't happen.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing to report to Your Majesty. Before Luo Cheng led the army to serve the king, he insisted on attacking Monan Khan Court, while the deputy envoy Duan Da insisted that he should go to Yanmen to rescue him first. The two argued, and then Luo Cheng Please behead Duan Da."

"We didn't dare to tell His Majesty before, but now we still ask Your Majesty to deal with it."

The emperor froze suddenly.

"Luo Cheng beheaded Duan Da? Or was it the last time he was King Qin? It's been two months, and you're here to tell me?"

The emperor's face was very ugly.

"Your Majesty, Luo Cheng is too arrogant and domineering. With some military achievements, he even dared to kill the deputy envoy sent by His Majesty."

Yang Guang was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he waved his hand feebly, "Forget it, the situation was urgent at that time, Luo Cheng wanted to attack Khan Court, Duan Da wanted Yunyan Gate, neither of them was wrong, but one army can't have two orders. Forget it, Luo Cheng killed Duan Da, it's justifiable. Forget it, Pei Qing, draw up an edict for me, reprimand Luo Cheng, and send someone to appease the Duan family, and reward him with money and silk."

How many people didn't expect that this ultimate move that they had pinched for a long time was actually resolved like this?

They didn't say anything when they were in Yanmen and Taiyuan, and they have endured it until now. They just thought that at that time, the emperor might read that the situation was tense, so let it be.

But after two months, the emperor still didn't pursue Luo Cheng.

"Then please Your Majesty send another deputy to go there."

Yang Guang thought for a while, "Luo Cheng really has a bad temper, but he is loyal and brave, and he is worthy of trust. Let's let Liucheng prefect Qu Tutong be promoted to deputy envoy of Andong Road."

"As for the successor candidate for the prefect of Liucheng." The emperor thought for a while, and remembered a person who was very eye-catching during the Yanmen Siege last time.

"Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Tiaomai County, was promoted to the prefect of Liucheng County, Andong Road!"
