Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 692 Moving the Capital to Nanjing
Jiangdu Palace, Royal Garden.

Yang Guang said to Empress Xiao worriedly, "If Luo Siye and Luo Gui refuse to hand over the military power of Dingxiang and Shandong, I'm afraid there will be a war."

The emperor who had just killed the four traitors and returned to the court to listen to the government, only now realized that the Great Sui Dynasty was so weak that the world had come to such a chaotic state.

I didn't know anything before, but I was living in a dream.Now that he is awake, no one dares to deceive him anymore, but when the real situation from all over the world was reported to him, he was frightened and panicked again.

There are more than a dozen anti-kings who claim to have more than [-] people in this world, and even several have directly proclaimed themselves emperors, but the officials and soldiers in the imperial court have nothing to do with them.

Not to mention those thieves and bandits ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, there are countless and countless.

Now it is Li Mi of Henan who is seriously threatening the court. He defeated Wang Shichong three times and besieged Luoyang.

Dou Jiande, Wang Xuba, and Lu Mingyue in Hebei are almost three-thirds of Hebei, and the officers and soldiers are no longer at the top.In many counties, the officers and soldiers can only hide in some county towns and military mansions, while the rebels occupy counties, counties and townships.

Hedong, Shannan, and Jiangnan are full of rebels and bandits.

Tuyuhun in the northwest has returned to the country, and the Western Turks in the Western Regions are now strong again, and they have repeatedly violated the frontier.

Xiao Yu previously asked the emperor to drive back to the capital, which capital can he return to?

Luoyang is now besieged by Li Mi, Xingluo Cang is occupied by Li Mi, and Liyang Cang is occupied by Dou Jiande.Now that the mighty army in Shandong may rebel again, Luoyang cannot go back at all.The canal was blocked by the rebels, and Xingyang and Hulao were still in the hands of the rebels.How did the emperor go back?

Then go to Xijing?

Daxing in Xijing is relatively stable now, but there is also a mutiny in Longyou, and Tuyuhun has returned to the country, not to mention that the Western Turks are still invading Hexi.

The prospects for Daxing City are also not good, not to mention that after the uprising, Daxing City will not be able to get grain supplies from the Kanto.

Without food, relying only on the Guanzhong Plain, it is impossible to lend to Xijing.

"Your Majesty, as long as you appoint Zhongxian, the world will surely return to peace." Empress Xiao comforted the emperor.

Yang Guang sighed.

I thought that after killing Pei Shiju and others, the court would be clean and the world would be peaceful, but now I realized that things have not changed at all, and it is still a mess.

Luoyang can't go back, Xijing can't stay, and even this river is probably not safe.

In case the Luo family is really turned against, then Luo Cheng will lead his troops to the south, I'm afraid they will be driven there.

"Queen, I want to cross the river to Danyang."

"Go to Danyang?" The queen wondered why the emperor had such an idea at this time.

"Jiangdu has no danger to defend. Once Luo Cheng refuses to obey the imperial edict, if he raises an army, he may be unstoppable for a while. I must be fully prepared. I am going to cross the river, go to Danyang, restore Jinling, and use Jinling as Nanjing in the Sui Dynasty. "

Jinling has the danger of the Yangtze River, and it can also rely on the Huaihe Pingfan as a buffer.

Furthermore, the south of the Yangtze River, especially the counties on the south bank of the great river, is relatively wealthy and a large grain-producing area.In case the situation got out of hand, they could still seek to occupy half of the south of the Yangtze River, save it first, and then Xu Tu counterattacked.

"Your Majesty, has the situation reached this point?"

"This is the worst plan. I used Pei Yunyu's scholar base, Pei Shiju, and Luo Yiluo to form these people. I thought they had no foundation. They were not Guanlong warlords or Shandong gentry. I expected it to be easier to grasp, but who knows, these people , people's hearts are even worse."

In his heart, Yang Guang was still unwilling to compromise.

If you appease the Luo family, that will only make things worse.

The current forceful reduction of the feudal clan may cause war, but this kind of possibility is a one-and-a-half pair. If Luo Cheng dares not rebel, then the court's victory may bring hope to him to revive the Sui Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is just a woman, but I want to remind Your Majesty that this matter should not be rushed. If Your Majesty mishandles a meritorious member of the Luo family, there will be endless troubles."

The queen reminded the emperor that although it is necessary to cut down the vassals, he must also pay attention to the means, otherwise if Luo Cheng gets it right, he will be famous when he raises troops.

And if the imperial court can handle it well, if Luo Cheng can't find a legitimate reason, if he wants to rebel, I'm afraid that the officers, generals, soldiers and civilians in the military towns and counties under his command may not follow him.

"The best way is to replace the fourth general of the Luo family with the army of the four towns."

This is a very powerful move. You can't treat the four towns as enemies. If you treat them all as enemies, then they are really all enemies.

Even if you want to cut the feudal clan, you only need to cut the four commanders, take your time, step by step.

Danyang County, Jiangning City.

A group of Xiaoguo troops escorted an angel.

"Emperor's edict, Danyang prefect Du Fuwei accepts the edict!"

Not long ago, Du Fuwei, who was promoted to the prefect of Danyang for his meritorious service against the thief, was dressed in iron armor and invited the angel to the hall.

After the angel read out the edict, he said to Du Fuwei with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Du, now I want to call you Du Shuai." An imperial edict was issued to reward him, and he was granted the title of appeasement envoy of Jiangnan Road.

Du Fuwei, who was holding the edict in his hand, had a slight smile on his face.

"Du Shuai, now Zuo Caixiang has fled to the south of the Yangtze River, and his arrogance is very arrogant. His Majesty is very dissatisfied with this thief, and he must get rid of it quickly. The former Jiangnan pacifier Zhao Yuankai has no combat experience, so this time His Majesty specially transferred him In the middle of the court, you will be appointed Minister of the Taifu Temple, and Du Shuai will take over the position of commander. His Majesty has decreed to mobilize the troops from Shannan, Guannei, and Jiannan to gather in the south and west of the Yangtze River, and Du Shuai will go to command the commander."

Of course, according to the usual practice, when Du Fuwei was promoted to Jiangnan appeasement envoy, he should cross the river first, go to Jiangdu to meet the emperor Xie En, then go to the Ministry of War to get the tiger seal letter, and then come back to hand over to Zhao Yuankai, and then go to Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion.

Du Fuwei agreed with a smile, and the angel was very happy to see Du Fuwei agreed so happily.

"Marshal, there must be fraud in this!"

After sending the angel to the station to rest, in the prefect's mansion, Kan Leng said to Du Fuwei.Long before, Luo Cheng sent the three adoptive sons Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan and Ximen Junyi to Du Fuwei's command to assist him in commanding the army.

These three men had fought battles under Luo Cheng's command for a long time, especially learned a lot of military tactics, so with their help, Du Fuwei was like a tiger with wings added, and suppressed bandits and rebellions in the south of the Yangtze River, winning many battles.

"It's too abnormal to promote me as a pacifier at this time. I don't know that there is something wrong with it." Du Fuwei didn't believe such a good thing either.

After all, he was originally the magistrate of Danyang County, and he had just been promoted to prefect not long ago, taking over the position left by Zhao Yuankai, who was promoted to the pacifier of the south of the Yangtze River.

How could it be possible to be promoted to comfort envoy again immediately? There is no such way of promotion.

"The emperor is asking you to go to Jiangdu to meet in the name of a reward, and then take the opportunity to seize your official position and military power. You must not be fooled." Wang Xiongdan also reminded Du Fuwei.
