Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 677 Military Orders and Imperial Decree

Zhang Wu made up his mind that he would never let Shi Chaoyi's army go. He immediately mobilized in Zizhou and sent an envoy to Nan Jiyun in Qingzhou to tell Nan Jiyun about this.

On the other side, Li Heng was overjoyed when he heard the news that Shi Chaoyi was about to surrender.

Shi Chaoyi is Shi Siming's successor, and his influence in Hedong is extraordinary.

Shi Chaoyi's surrender to the Tang court will definitely shake Shi Siming's military morale and shorten the time to quell the Hedong Rebellion.

For Li Heng, as long as he doesn't pacify Hedong for a day, his achievements will not be able to surpass his father.

What made Li Heng feel even more worried was that he was running out of time.

Li Heng already has an understanding of his own body. Compared with his father, who is alive and well and can act on stage, his body is already in a bad state.

It's already June now, and Li Heng is still wearing thick winter clothes. He will get hot when exposed to a little bit of wind and cold, and he will be sick all day long.

Li Heng took the elixir sent by the prince and the elixir sent by the princess on time every day, but his health was still not good.

The eunuch raised his eyebrows and said: "Bold! The imperial edict has arrived, and you still don't get off the horse to receive it!"

The prince's envoy yelled at the army of Zhang Nan and the two of them with a high voice.

"Order! Put armor on this general!"

Zhang Wu said coldly:
"Zhang is the training envoy of the Yanzhou Regiment. If the imperial decree was not sent to Yanzhou, how could it be sent to the front of the battle?"

"If the imperial decree is sent to the Yanzhou government office, Zhang will naturally set up a case and burn incense to welcome the imperial decree, but now that the two armies are at war, could it be that Shi Chaoyi's bandit's suspicious tactics."

Now taking three pills a day can only slightly boost the body, but when the effect of the medicine wears off, the whole body will feel extremely weak again.

On that day, Prince Li Chu asked Luo Yue to surrender based on the emperor's imperial decree. Shi Chaoyi went south to Bianzhou to form the Bianzhou New Army. Water transportation safety.

"Nan has not received the imperial decree, but he has never heard of the precedent of the two armies passing the decree before the battle."

"Destroying the history thief today is what Nan wants to do, so why bother to talk too much?"

The eunuch was already a little timid, he looked at Nan Jiyun, and said in a stern voice:
"Nan Jiyun, do you want to resist the edict?"

The imperial court can pardon Shi Chaoyi and other officers for their crimes, but they must move their families to live in Chang'an.

The soldiers in the front row were indeed frightened by him, they all stepped out of the way, and Nan Jiyun and Zhang Wu rode forward side by side.

Luo Yue immediately accepted the grace of Tang Dynasty on behalf of Shi Chaoyi. At the same time, Li Chu also wrote letters to Zhang Wu of Zizhou and Nan Jiyun of Qingzhou as the crown prince, ordering them to stop fighting immediately and ordering the states and counties along the way to prepare food and grass. , Let Shi Chaoyi's army go south to Bianzhou.

Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun attacked like crazy, and they had already broken through the outer defense line set up by Shi Chaoyi, and they were less than a hundred miles away from where he camped.

"Bold! This is the imperial decree! Do you still want to resist the decree?"

It took a day in the court to discuss the results, and the emperor decided to accept Shi Chaoyi's surrender against all opinions.

If Shi Chaoyi surrendered, wouldn't he be an official in the same dynasty in the future?
The righteous Nan Jiyun didn't want to be with such a rebellious minister and traitor like Shi Chaoyi at all, and he couldn't accept this guy who caused troubles in the Central Plains. After surrendering, he suddenly became a great minister of the Tang Dynasty.

At most, the imperial court granted Shi Chaoyi the position of military envoy of the first army, that is, the military officer of the fourth rank.

Under such circumstances, Li Heng is even more eager to complete the war as soon as possible.

"My lord, save me!"

Zhang Wu laughed and said: "It seems that Brother Nan is willing to accompany Zhang on this muddy water."

After listening to Shi Chaoyi's words, the cronies of the crown prince who delivered the decree laughed, helped Shi Chaoyi up and said:
"Don't be afraid, General Shi. Now that you have descended to the Tang Dynasty, that is my family. This envoy will read the imperial decree to the two generals of Zhang Nan to make way for General Shi to return to Bianzhou!"

The eunuch immediately said:

Without a trace of hesitation on Nan Jiyun's face, he said firmly:
"Brother Zhang was responsible for the rescue of Suiyang City that day. If Zhang Liushou died in the city, Nan must have followed him."

Shi Chaoyi could only order the soldiers to guard the pass, and sent out his own soldiers to plug the gap in the defense line, anxiously waiting for the outcome of Luo Yue's negotiations.

Zhang Wu continued to ask: "The envoys from the imperial court have arrived and are recruiting Shi Chaoyi to surrender. We killed Shi Chaoyi now, but it violated the imperial court's order. Brother Nan, do you still want to do it?"

If Shi Chaoyi was so easily forgiven, then what did the people who died outside Qingzhou City do wrong?
What are those soldiers of the Tang army who fought bravely with Nan Jiyun doing?
After reading Zhang Wu's autograph letter, Nan Jiyun immediately said to his subordinates:

The prince's envoy held the emperor's decree, surrounded by Shi Chaoyi's guards, and headed towards the front line.

Just when the prince's envoy was proudly reading the imperial decree to Shi Chaoyi, the army of Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun had already broken through the pass and rushed to Shi Chaoyi's camp.

Li Heng decreed that the crown prince Li Chu had full power to handle Shi Chaoyi's surrender. The bottom line of the court was that Shi Chaoyi must lead his troops to surrender and accept the reorganization and arrangement of the court.

After the two of them finished speaking, they suddenly heard Shi Chaoyi's army in front of them clamoring. After beating gongs and drums, a middle-aged eunuch dressed as an eunuch, under the guard of Shi Siming's personal guard, walked to the two armies with a shining imperial decree. Before the battle.

"You, are you trying to resist the decree?"

Nan Jiyun also said:

Especially the elixir presented by the prince, when he just took the elixir in Zhengdan, only one pill was needed to make Li Heng feel comfortable all day.

At this time, only [-] of the [-] troops under Shi Chaoyi's command were left, and the morale of the army was extremely low.

Nan Jiyun quickly assembled all the troops in Qingzhou City, and he put on the bright light armor bestowed by Zhang Xun.

On June 23, Shi Chaoyi, who was anxiously waiting for news from Luo Yue, first received a piece of news that made him extremely anxious.

Pei Mian, Miao Jinqing, Zhang Hao and other prime ministers firmly believed that Shi Chaoyi's surrender should not be accepted.

"General Nan Jiyun of Qingzhou, and Zhang Wu, the training envoy of the Yanzhou Regiment, accept the order!"

Zhang Wu said coldly:
"The last military order Zhang received was to wipe out the remnants of Shi Chaoyi in the mountains. Shi Chaoyi is a national traitor. Your imperial edict came from Shi Chaoyi's army. Please forgive Zhang for not daring to obey it."

Regarding Shi Chaoyi's surrender, Zhengshitang also showed a completely different attitude.

The envoys of the imperial court immediately took a water boat and went down the Bian River to Bianzhou to deliver the decree.

Shi Chaoyi immediately set up a case, held a ceremony to accept the imperial edict with great fanfare in the barracks, and surrendered to Prince Li Chu's envoy on the spot.

"General Nan, have you made up your mind?"

On June 22, Prince Li Chu and Shi Chaoyi's envoy Luo Yue, who were anxiously waiting in Bianzhou City, waited for the imperial decree. The court agreed to accept Shi Chaoyi's surrender and entrusted Prince Li Chu with full authority to handle Shi Chaoyi's surrender.

Shi Chaoyi was overjoyed, and quickly stuffed a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to the prince's envoy, and ordered his personal guards to protect the prince's envoy, and let them announce to Nan Jiyun and Zhang Wu that Shi Chaoyi had surrendered.

The remaining prime ministers, headed by Cui Huan and Li Lin, believed that Shi Chaoyi's surrender could resolve the war in the Central Plains as soon as possible, and that an extra army would be able to protect the Bianhe water transport. .

On June 24th, Luo Yue finally arrived at Shi Chaoyi's military camp holding the imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty and the envoy sent by Prince Li Chu.

On June [-], Qingzhou's army filed out, and together with Zhang Wu in Linzi City, attacked Shi Chaoyi's tribe hiding in the mountains and forests from two directions.

Nan Jiyun has a big grudge against the puppet Yan. He lost many of his brothers during the siege of Suiyang. Now the puppet Yan Emperor An Qingxu has been killed, but Shi Chaoyi is also one of the culprits in Hedong, and now he is about to surrender to the court. ?

Zhang Wu continued:

"The last time Nan received a military order from Zhang Liushou in Qingzhou, the envoy went to the station where the Ministry of War sent the order. The military order is strict and has its own set of inspection rules."

Nan Jiyun said seriously: "Nan is here for the people of Qingzhou."

You must know that under the siege of Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun, Shi Chaoyi is already at the end of his battle. At this time, there is no need to accept his surrender. Directly annihilating Shi Chaoyi's department will deal a greater blow to Shi Siming.

Nan Jiyun said without hesitation:

Just after reading the imperial decree, the soldiers rushed to Shi Chaoyi to report the military situation. Shi Chaoyi quickly knelt down in front of the prince's envoy and said:

The bright light armor on Nan Jiyun's body was already full of blood stains. From Qingzhou all the way to the mountains, Nan Jiyun has fought at the head of the soldiers so far.

And after Nan Jiyun received Zhang Wu's autograph letter, he went straight to the case!

Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun have merged into one place, and they have opened up the road to Shi Chaoyi's camp. Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun walked side by side, looking at the misty valley ahead, Zhang Wu said:

"When Suiyang was besieged, Nan didn't know where the court's orders were? When Luoyang was besieged, where was the court's orders? Why did the court's orders come when we surrounded Shi Chaoyi?"

The envoy of the East Palace who delivered the decree was a little scared, and he forced himself to say:
"Traitor! Traitor!"

Then the envoy held up the imperial decree and said to Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun's officers and soldiers:
"What about you? Do you also want to resist the order? This is a great crime to exterminate the nine races!"

Zhang Wu said coldly:
"Falsely preaching the imperial decree is the great crime of exterminating the nine clans. Zhang only knows about military orders, and Shi Chaoyi is the national traitor who caused chaos in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone gets to punish him!"

"Beat the drums, march!"
