Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 306 Digging a Pit for Zhang Xun

The current Henan Province in the Tang Dynasty is actually the Shandong of the later generations, but it is much larger than the Shandong of the later generations.

Li Fei has already decided to leave Shan County tomorrow, head east to Yanzhou and Qingzhou on the Henan Road, and finally reach Dengzhou on the south bank of Bohaikou, cross the Bohai Strait from Dengzhou, and reach the Liaodong Peninsula in one day and one night. Someone contacted Zheng Hai of the Anton Fleet in advance.

At night, A Niu, the commander of Jinyiwei, suddenly came to see Li Fei.

"My lord, intercept Zhang Xun's personal letter to Chang'an City!" A Niu took out the intercepted letter from his pocket with a serious face, and presented it to Li Fei.

"Zhang Xun?" A stern look flashed in Li Fei's eyes, and he took the letter from A Niu.

"Damn Zhang Xun!" After reading the contents of the letter, Li Fei slammed the table angrily, causing the teacups on the table to fall, and the tea flowed from the table to the floor.

Zhang Xun even bluntly asked Li Heng to restrict his rights in his letter to Suzong Li Heng, and even advised Li Heng to deprive him of the Anton Governor who had been developing for several years in a way of rising up and down secretly. Government, give him a drudgery.Zhang Xun's vision is also quite poisonous. Without the Anton Protectorate, the Andong Cavalry will also change hands, and without the Anton Cavalry, Li Fei will have no strong bargaining chip.

However, Li Fei sneered!

Zhang Xun still took it for granted. Li Fei worked hard in the Anton Governor's Mansion for several years, and spent millions of money out of his own pocket. Various policies to benefit the people, the construction of the industrial chain, etc., the Anton Governor's Mansion Because of his governance, the government is more prosperous than any time in the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with Zhang Xun and other literati groups who were stubbornly loyal to the emperor, ordinary people were more realistic. They would be loyal to whoever made them have a good life and a good life.Not to mention, Li Fei has been planning for a rainy day, deliberately guiding the thoughts of the people of Anton, and planting in the hearts of the people of Anton a sense that without Li Fei in Anton, he may return to the bitter cold of the past overnight.

Especially now, the Anlu Mountain rebellion is raging, and even the eastern capital of Luoyang and the core Guanzhong and Chang'an cities are lost in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, even in order to protect their current food and clothing, peaceful and prosperous life, the people and soldiers in Anton now only know Li Fei, but not the court!
Under such circumstances, the Anton Protectorate Mansion is something that Suzong Li Heng can take if he wants to?
"A Niu, you find someone to imitate Zhang Xun's notes, change the content, and replace it with praises for me, and then arrange for someone to have a long talk with Zhang Xun all night, and the fact that I gave Zhang Xun a huge amount of money and food. Let Li Fuguo or Yu Chaoen know the news." This is the hole that Li Fei dug for Zhang Xun. Now that Zhang Xun has made a move, he will not hide it. I believe that Suzong Li Heng and Li Fuguo With Yu Chaoen's hatred for him, anyone who dares to have "connections" with him will be angered, and it is impossible for Zhang Xun to be reused by Suzong Li Heng.

Li Fuguo is Li Jingzhong, one of Suzong Li Heng's most trusted eunuchs. When Suzong Li Heng was still the prince, he was framed repeatedly and was in danger. Heng trusts the eunuchs around him even more, thinking that only the eunuchs around him are the most trustworthy people.And because Li Jingzhong helped Suzong Li Heng to come up with ideas many times, Li Jingzhong took the lead in persuading Suzong Li Heng to ascend the throne in Lingwu. Therefore, Suzong Li Heng regarded Li Jingzhong as the most powerful right-hand man, so he gave Li Jingzhong the name of " Li Fuguo'.

"Yes, my lord!" A Niu backed out.

"Zhang Xun, without my lord's rescue, you would have died in Suiyang just like in history. I didn't take your life directly, but just prevented you from being used by Suzong Li Henry to deal with me, temporarily cutting you off. It's all about the future, if I can succeed in the future, I may use you more!" Li Fei muttered to himself.

While Li Fei broke the siege of Nanyang and Suiyang, he defeated as many as 15 rebels.

On the front line of Guanzhong, the Tang army who started from the Lingwu assembly also fought fiercely with the rebels in Guanzhong.

Although there are 12 Huihe cavalry in Lingwu, 23 Tubo troops, and Datang's own army of about 14, the total number is 50, and more than [-] of them are elite and powerful, claiming [-]!
However, the anti-army also assembled 20 troops, and [-] to [-] of them were elites from hundreds of battles. rainbow.

In terms of overall strength, Lingwu's Tang Fan coalition forces surpassed the rebels in both the overall number and the number of real elites, and seemed to be able to steadily crush the rebels in the Guanzhong Chang'an area.

However, although the Huihe cavalry and the Tubo army were elite, they only helped Datang conditionally, and they came for the benefits promised by Datang. They would not really fight for Datang. Suzong Li Heng can really rely on It's just his own 12 Great Tang army.

Originally, a battle like the recovery of Guanzhong and Chang'an City should be commanded by a capable general, but in Jingbian, Hedong and other places, Guo Ziyi, who has repeatedly defeated the rebels and demonstrated super military capabilities, is the best candidate .

It's a pity that Suzong Li Heng didn't use Guo Ziyi. Instead, he asked Fang Guan, the new prime minister appointed by himself, to be the commander in chief to command the recovery of Guanzhong and Chang'an City.

It is worth mentioning that in the face of Tang Xuanzong who was already the Supreme Emperor, Wei Jiansu, the prime minister appointed by Tang Xuanzong, and Lin Siming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, sent him from Shu with a jade seal.

Suzong Liheng himself also appointed a new prime minister, Fang Guan, and there can only be one prime minister. Suzong Liheng felt that he was the emperor now, and of course it was impossible to appoint Wei Jiansu, the prime minister appointed by Tang Xuanzong, so he used Wei Jiansu as the prime minister. Su Zeng was promoted by Yang Guozhong, and Wei Jiansu was dismissed from the position of prime minister. However, Wei Jiansu brought the jade seal after all, which was considered meritorious, so Emperor Suzong Li Heng changed Wei Jiansu to be Shangshu Zuopushe.

Facing Lin Siming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Li Fei's father-in-law, Suzong Li Heng's face was very gloomy. Out of hatred for Li Fei, he wanted to find an excuse and ordered Lin Siming to be killed directly. In the end, Li Fuguo and Yu Chao En persuaded him to come down.

In the eyes of Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen, Li Fei is leading the army and is not weak. Before Li Fei is killed, it is not appropriate to move Li Fei's father-in-law Lin Siming. Keeping Lin Siming in the court can actually restrain Li Fei. After Li Fei died, Lin Siming was just an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.

Suzong Li Heng also felt that it made sense, so he didn't move Lin Siming, and still let him be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and even added the false name of Marquis to Lin Siming in order to appease Lin Siming and Li Fei.
