Chapter 35 A Great Achievement
"The Jiedushi means... you don't go back to Fengxiang in person to report to His Majesty? After all, the Jiedushi should be by His Majesty at this time!"
Xu Yuan had a clear understanding of the matter in the court. Although he didn't know what he had made Li Yan not become the marshal of the world and unable to stay with Li Heng, he took advantage of the fact that he made such a big brother and went back, and that would definitely be the return of the king!
"This Suiyang is an important town. The rent-in-one of Jianghuai is the key to the Tang Dynasty's rebellion. Since Your Majesty asked me to be the governor of Henan Dao, I am not under the jurisdiction of Suiyang, let alone the governor of Henan Dao is not in Henan Dao. What should I do when I go to Fengxiang?"
Li Yan choked Xu Yuan very hard when he said this, but through Li Yan's words, Xu Yuan became more convinced of his inner thoughts. He had never even said this thought, Zhang Xun, his good friend.
Finally, after a wave of publicity by Yin Ziqi on the top of the city, the army outside the city had long been no longer interested in fighting. Most of them dispersed for a while, and only more than 10,000 people came to the city gate and knelt down at Li Yan, expressing their determination to serve the Tang Dynasty.
"I'll leave these people outside the city to you two, but don't blame me for not reminding you two. There must be some people in them who want to take advantage of our information and run back to An Qingxu who is seeking credit. You have to tell me a clear distinction. My Henan Road soldiers are not expensive, but more important!"
After saying this, Li Neng hurriedly returned to his Jiedu Mansion. Not far behind him, Yin Ziqi was also taken in that direction.
Yin Ziqi stayed in Li Yong's mansion for three days. After three days, Li Yong directly sent someone to escort Yin Ziqi, and joined a letter he wrote to Li Heng, and rushed to Fengxiang.
"Husband, why don't we return to Fengxiang with our troops? The rebels have lost a large number of troops on Henan Road. Can Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan not deal with it?"
When Zhang Mingyue saw Li Qing's attitude, he knew that he hadn't thought of returning to Fengxiang, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
She knew how high Li Qing was before. If she had no thoughts to return to Li Heng, it would have been a waste of Li Qing's talent, both civil and military.
"Of course they can deal with this small Suiyang, but they can't deal with the entire Henan Road, and they can't deal with another Henan Road military governor who may be sent here at any time. The wife should know that this person, no matter how high he is at, he will always lack a timely helper, and not a person who adds icing on the cake."
Li Qing said these words sounded quite profound, but her expression was quite relaxed. Zhang Mingyue then relaxed a little. She just wanted to see that Li Qing had not lost her fighting spirit, and the rest was no longer in her heart.
After Yin Ziqi left, Li Neng just asked Zhang Xun and others to train troops in the city, but he didn't move any more, as if he was waiting for something.
One night after the victory, Zhang Xun's mansion, Zhang Xun, Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun sat around the table, each with a pot of wine in his hand, and was drinking happily.
"What? The prince actually sent you to take Jiyin and Puyang?"
At this time, Zhang Xun was hearing Nan Jiyun telling him what he was doing. After listening, his face was full of surprise.
"Yes, King Jianning had long expected that Yin Ziqi might use objects in Jiyin and Puyang cities in times of difficulty. I took down these two places with a few soldiers and almost no effort, and blocked the news. After the Hu people arrived, it was precisely because of my cooperation that they came back so smoothly with their equipment. With me, those Hu people dared not turn against each other!"
"Mysterious! King Jianning is really a magical plan! With you, the ace, even if this strategy is wrong, there is room for maneuver!"
"That's right, although King Jianning is a little young, he just broke the siege for Suiyang this time. I know how much worse the other princes in our Tang Dynasty are than him!"
Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun also saw Li Wen's performance. They were really convinced. In addition, there were no outsiders in Zhang Xun. After drinking some wine, Nan Jiyun's mouth began to get a little bigger.
"You can't say this nonsense. You and I are both ministers of the Tang Dynasty. You should not argue about the matters of the royal family!"
"Royal family? In the An Lushan Rebellion, which one is the real royal family? If there were no King Jianning, I am afraid that His Majesty would follow the Supreme Emperor to Sichuan. The entire Central Plains has become a big swallow!"
"General Nan, you are drunk!"
"I'm not drunk. Among the princes of the Tang Dynasty, we will recognize King Jianning!"
This time, Zhang Xun did not scold Nan Jiyun again, but instead let his concubine heat up another pot of wine...
When Yin Ziqi was escorted to Fengxiang, it took only about three months before Li Yan left Fengxiang to defend the city.
When the guards came to report this, Li Heng was discussing the attack on Chang'an and Luoyang with Li Yu, Li Mi, and Guo Ziyi who had arrived in Fengxiang for a short time.
"Your Majesty, King Jianning has defeated the tens of thousands of troops led by Yin Ziqi in Suiyang. Almost all the enemy troops, Luo Pugu's troops were killed by King Jianning, and Yin Ziqi was captured alive. Tens of thousands of rebels fled in all directions!"
As soon as the news was finished, Li Heng stood up suddenly. Then Guo Ziyi and Li Yu also stared at each other and stood up. Only Li Mi lowered his head slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The news is true?"
This matter was too big, and Li Heng couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked again.
"Indeed! This is a report written by King Jianning. Yin Ziqi has been sent to Fengxiang by King Jianning and is waiting outside the door!"
"Okay! After Sui Yang is defended, our army will not worry about food, grass and supplies. It is no worries. In this way, the chances of His Majesty's acquisition of the two capitals have obviously increased! King Jianning is really a general!"
Guo Ziyi was holding the position of deputy marshal of the world's military and horses. In addition, he won many victories with his military and horses during this period, so his voice in front of Li Heng was much stronger than before.
Li Heng nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "Li Yan, this kid, didn't disappoint me this time!" He opened Li Yan's letter.
"Father, why don't the third brother escort Yin Ziqi back in person?"
"The Grand Marshal was joking. Since King Jianning is the governor of Henan Road, he naturally has to guard Henan Road. With him on Henan Road, we can also feel at ease to collect the two capitals!"
