Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 362
Zhang Yang was injured, and Li Longji also got news, but there was no more news from Daying.

Many of Li Longji's subordinates were afraid of the prestige of being victorious in all battles, and the army was panicked.

Most of the counselors are Yao Chong's old friends, and they have worked under him for many years, so they can feel at ease following Yao Chong and believe that they will have a good future.

But now that Yao Chong is dead, Li Longji is too young to convince them.

Most of the soldiers in the army were persecuted by Yao Chong and Li Longji before. After Yao Chong died, there was no one who could make Li Longji relieved to succeed Yao Chong. Facing various rumors in the army, they no longer used murder to solve the problem, and the morale of the army began to shake. .

Three days later, the counselors sparked a dispute over who should be the leader. Li Longji was furious and beheaded one of them, and the civil servants also began to panic.

Sitting in the hall, Li Longji felt extremely bleak.

Although he was in the royal family, he did not have the emperor's mandate. Now that Yao Chong had died, everyone in the court and army was in panic, and he felt that he couldn't suppress it.

Discussing the matter again, everyone agreed to ask him to surrender to save everyone, and to find a way out for himself.

Li Longji had to agree.

This time out of the city, Li Longji only brought some advisers who followed him from the capital, but Major General Black Tooth was extremely worried and wanted to insult, so he ordered people to search them, tie them up, and put them in a prison car.

Li Longji's teeth itched with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

It wasn't until halfway through the journey that Li Longji realized that Zhang Yang was gone, and now this army was ruled by General Black Tooth.

Li Longji assumed Li's identity, married Major General Black Tooth, and tried to encourage him to conspire against him, but General Black Tooth wholeheartedly obeyed Zhang Yang's orders to maintain the stability of the world, and he didn't care who was the emperor.

Li Longji began to insult the black-toothed Chang Zhi, who was first a traitor to the enemy country, and then served two empresses in succession, so he was not worthy of being a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This move aroused dissatisfaction in the army, and Li Longji was beaten up for the consequences.

After Zhang Yang's death, the guards who escorted him were very dissatisfied with him, but he insulted Hei Chi Chang Zhi at this time. Many people drew knives and wanted to kill him, but they were stopped by Major General Hei Chi.

The army returned to the court smoothly. Those who were killed in Jinling City because of their loyalty were all rectified by the court. Those who surrendered were also thoroughly investigated.

After this war, Jinling was also able to clear the officialdom.

Man'er waited for Zhang Yang for two months, but what he waited for was Zhang Yang's corpse, heartbroken and devastated.

At this time, the power of the old Turkic nobles got the news and began to seek to restore the country. The news that Dazhou used Turkic people as cattle and sheep and sold their hard-earned coal at high prices began to spread.

The common people were dissatisfied with the Great Zhou Dynasty and wanted to have their own khan, but because Maner was the most popular among the common people, the old nobles had no choice but to support her as the new khan and make wedding dresses for others.

Man'er blamed Shen Sanwen for Zhang Yang's death, and did not object to the re-establishment of the Turkic Khanate, and the Turkic New Khanate was established.

Due to the Turkic turmoil, Datang began to reduce grain shipments to the east, and at the same time, the country began to reduce coal supply.

The Turkic people are short of food and will soon spend the winter. Under the pressure of the state government, the barbarians arrived at the border between the two countries with a large army.

Heizhi Changzhi still can't go out, and the major general can't go out because he needs to rectify the old army to appease the dead.

Shen Xiaowen recommended himself to guard the northern border for his master.

After several days of deliberation by the imperial court, the person to be in command was still undecided. Cui Xuan and Song Jing's faction refused to have him in command on the grounds that Shen Yi was not suitable for commanding military power; support.

The Empress finally decided that Shen Yi would lead the army first, and Major General Black Tooth would take over his post later. This approach was supported by both factions, and the request of Li Chengqi, the son of Xiang Wang, to go out with the army was also approved by the court.

The army led by Zhang Yang has recovered a lot of combat strength after two months of rest, but the leader of the Turkic army is a barbarian, who is a little old with their generals, and the barbarian army never kills and burns down people's houses and only robs officials. Food, the Turkic advantage in the two confrontations but they did not kill, the Tang army's momentum was a little bit weak.

After Shen Yi arrived, he asked them what to do if there was a famine in the Tang Dynasty. The Turkic people robbed the official warehouses, but that was prepared to save the people of our homeland. The benevolence of a woman should not join the army, and she is not worthy of being an army under Zhang Yang's command.

As a result, the soldiers regained their momentum and became more determined to defend their homes and the country.

The Turkic army once again led the invasion of Dingzhou. The soldiers and civilians of Dingzhou were looted by the Turkic army, and the hatred between the two sides was as deep as the sea. For a period of time when the Turks were assigned to the Dazhou, Dingzhou had a lot of resentment. Now that the Turks are looting Dingzhou, the people support the guard army. fight back.

Man'er has learned many methods of training the army from Zhang Yang, and now the Turkic soldiers are not low in combat power. Because of the people's resistance, the two sides have entered a life-and-death struggle.

Shen Yi arrived with an army and surrounded the Turkic army from the outside.

Man'er came out from the army and questioned Shen Yi about Jinling.

Shen Yi has nothing to say about the changes in Jinling, but he also opposes the barbarian. Zhang Yang has devoted her life to defending her home and country. Why did she invade China and destroy the peace between the two countries and make the people of the two countries suffer from wars? suffering.

Man'er said that Turkic people can only maintain a basic life by working, which is not the prosperity she wants. Zhang Yang promised that one day Turkic will be as prosperous as Dazhou. Now she can only rely on herself, and there will be no peace between the two countries.

Shen Yi bid farewell to Man'er with the etiquette of meeting his wife, thanked him for not killing the brave army twice, and opened the way to let Man'er go back.

The people of Dingzhou were very puzzled by this, and reprimanded the leaders for colluding with foreign enemies and not knowing how to defend their home and country.

When the news was sent back to the capital, Shen Sanwen agreed with Shen Yi's actions very much, repaying kindness and revenge, this is what a man should do.

The empress regretted this very much, this was a good opportunity to take down the Turkic people, but Shen Yi just missed it, it was still too merciful.

Shen Sanwen disagreed with the princess, and finally stopped discussing the matter.

The memorial of the new general of the Dingzhou Military Army arrived, some people in the court immediately started to attack Shen Yi, Cui Xuan and others who knew the complexity could only keep silent.

In the end, the empress could only reprimand Shen Yi in writing, and punish Shen Yi with a three-year salary exemption to stabilize the people of the state.

Major General Black Tooth led his troops to the Turkic border. At this time, Shen Yi had already defeated the Turkic people. Major General Black Tooth was very pleased with Zhang Yang having such an apprentice, and praised him for being young and promising, and he would surely become a great weapon.

Shen Yi happily agreed, but there were many different feelings in his heart.

He felt it was unfair.

With the same father and mother, Li He can enjoy the love of his parents and friends in the capital, but he followed Zhang Yang to the frontier to defend his family and country since he was a child.Li He's memorial has a heart for the people and can be praised by people all over the world, but he went to Turkic for the sake of loyalty and filial piety, but he received reprimand and suspicion from all parties.

Although he wanted to fulfill his master's ambition, Shen Yi wanted to use a different method.
