The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1049 Layout Dali ([-])

Many soldiers in the army looked back at the top of the city again and again.

They didn't have Hong Hanmo and the defenders in their eyes, but their eyes were on Lu Yuwen.

Especially Lu Wenhuan's non-generals, no doubt they are very grateful to Lu Yuwen at this time.

Their families were also able to regain their freedom because Lu Yuwen voluntarily went to the city.

At the end of Honghan's life, he ran to the city early.

When he saw Yeluzhu inside the city gate, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Zuo Cheng, I made you suffer."

Yeluzhu sighed and said: "Master Hongda is too serious. Yelu casts the body of a criminal minister, and he is extremely ashamed to survive."

At the end of the day, Hong Han didn't really take his words to heart, so he just said: "Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs, so you don't have to take it too seriously, Mr. Zuo Cheng."

Then he hurriedly cast Yelu straight and invited him to the government office in the city.

Lu Yuwen was sent back to Lu's mansion.

Hong Hanmo really didn't dare to do anything to him, he didn't even have that kind of thought.They just sent troops to confine Lu Yuwen in the mansion.

Because he knew that if he did something to Lu Yuwen, he might really be destroyed by the wrath of Lu Wenhuan's old department in the future.

Yeluzhu's tens of thousands of troops were defeated in front of the Song army. He didn't think that his mere ten thousand Xiangyang defenders could stop the Song army's attack.

Lu Yuwen was the bargaining chip in his hand to restrain Song Jun.

And with such a bargaining chip, even if Hong Hanmo was more courageous, he would not be willing to kill him.

Lu Yuwen was not worried about what Hong Hanmo would do to him. After returning to Lu's mansion, he went to read in the study, looking very calm.

After Yeluzhu bathed and changed his clothes, under the arrangement of Hong Hanmo, he held a banquet with the ministers of Xiangyang Mansion.

During the meeting, all the ministers complimented Yeluzhu repeatedly.But Yeluzhu didn't seem very interested.

These people are not even qualified to release him, Yeluzhu.

Even if he is defeated by Yelu, why do he need these people to comfort him?
Later, when he heard the news that Hong Hanmo said that Fuzhou had been defeated and that the emperor was about to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, Yelu Zhucai's emotions suddenly collapsed and he burst into tears.

He really has a heart for the Yuan Dynasty.

After the banquet, Yelu Zhu hurriedly left Xiangyang Mansion and headed for Yuanzhong Capital under the escort of more than a dozen experts.

Changsha City.

Zhao Dongting received two letters one after another.

A letter from Feige came from Zhou Xingyan, an envoy stationed in Yuan Dynasty.

Zhou Xingyan said that he had reached a peace agreement with the Yuan Dynasty, and the peace agreement document was being rushed to the imperial city by [-] miles.

There is also a fast horse news report from Changle County.

Since the end of the battle in Changle County, the battlefield has been cleaned up early, and the military merits of the soldiers of all armies have been registered and recorded.

In Huang Hua's letter, he said that the pensions had been sent to the homes of the soldiers who died in the battle, and that monuments to the martyrs had begun to be erected.

More than [-] prisoners of the Yuan army were detained outside Changle County and lived in camp.

Liu Xikuang and Diabolo led the troops to stay in the city to help the Fuzhou garrison guard the soldiers of the Yuan army.

Lu Yingcai, the commander of the Guangzhou garrison, and Mori, the commander of the Liuqiu Kingdom, led their troops out of the city and returned to Guangzhou and Liuqiu respectively along the coastal road.

In addition, A Xinghuang, the king of Liuqiu, wants to go to Changsha to meet Zhao Dongting.

Regarding the previous letter, Zhao Dongting was not at all surprised when he reached a peace agreement with the Yuan Dynasty.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty in Northern Xinjiang has the upper hand, he agreed to marry Turandot as a condition, so that Kublai Khan would not have the possibility to continue bargaining.

Only the latter A Xinghuang wanted to come to Changsha to meet him, which made Zhao Dongting smile a little playfully.

This did not surprise him.It's just that he was a little curious about what A Xinghuang would say to him when he saw him.

Inside the imperial study.

After Zhao Dongting put the two letters aside, he just scribbled a few words on the paper and handed it to Yi Shiyu, "Send this letter to Changle County."

What was written on the paper was to send soldiers to escort Liuqiu King to the imperial city.

After Yi Shiyu left, Zhao Dongting said to Eunuch Liu who was waiting next to him: "Eunuch Liu, send someone to tell the State Affairs Order to order all the officials from Changle County on the way to the imperial city. Be sure to give a warm welcome and good hospitality."

"promise."

Eunuch Liu bowed and agreed, and walked out of the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting watched him leave, but rubbed his temples, and sighed softly, "It's really not an easy job to be the emperor."

Up to now, the military merit reports of each army have been submitted to his imperial study.

The Song and Yuan Dynasties are about to discuss peace, except for Xiao Yulin, Liu Zijun and Yu Xingwen who led the army to Xiangyang Mansion, the territory of the Song Dynasty is completely stable, and it is time to make a big reward.

Even if it is to cultivate patriotism, it is still necessary to give these meritorious ministers actual rewards.

Just let the horse run, but don't feed the horse.There is nothing so good in the world.

Although this metaphor is a bit inappropriate, it is also an indisputable fact.

Just imagine if Zhao Dongting asked these soldiers to defend the frontier without rewarding them, would these soldiers not care about it?

And to give these generals appropriate rewards is undoubtedly a rather mighty siege.

In this battle that spread to the entire Song Kingdom, the imperial guards and city defenders of the Song Dynasty either fought against the enemy or crusaded against the rioters, and all of them had meritorious service.Even if only Zhao Dongting's decision was made on the promotion of generals at the rank of ten thousand commanders in the army, and the rewards at the rank of thousand commanders had to be reviewed by him, this still involved hundreds of people.

Zhao Dongting needs to study the past and temperament of these hundreds of people, and then study their respective factions.

The way of the emperor is the way of checks and balances.

Zhao Dongting had to consider all aspects.No matter how big-hearted he is, he is unwilling to allow a certain family to dominate in the army.

He even didn't want too stable factions to appear in the army.

Because people's hearts are unpredictable, although all the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are now closely attached to him, Zhao Dongting, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Zhao Dongting knew very well that besides the old generals in the army, the new generals, whether they were promoted during the imperial examination or promoted from the army, were definitely not as loyal to him as those old generals.But this time, there are many veteran generals who have made outstanding military achievements, and they must no longer be able to remain in the post of army commander or deputy army commander. They can only be promoted to the head of the military region or set up another position in the military province.At that time, those meritorious new generals will hold real power.

For these people, Zhao Dongting still needs to be more cautious.

For this matter, he has been pondering for some time.

Fortunately, these matters are not in a hurry to draw a conclusion now, and he still has enough time to figure it out.

Not long after Eunuch Liu returned to the imperial study, Yi Shiyu hurried to the imperial study after him.

Seeing him, Zhao Dongting asked, "Another letter?"

Yi Shiyu said: "Returning to the emperor is a letter from Commander Liu Zhuwen and his army."

"Submit it quickly."

When Zhao Dongting heard this, there was a hint of urgency on his face.

Since Liu Zhuwen and the others had sent a letter, it must have been a confrontation with the Dali army in Dali territory.

As for whether the entire Dali can be successfully won, we can see some signs from this opening.

If the Song Dynasty was invincible, it would not be difficult to win Dali.And if Da Song encountered setbacks just after the confrontation, it would be difficult to say.

Yi Shiyu hurriedly presented the secret letter to Zhao Dongting's desk.

After Zhao Dongting took it apart and looked at it, he couldn't help laughing very quickly, and without waiting for Eunuch Liu to ask, he said, "Commander Miao Chengmiao and the others have already taken down the Palace of the Marble City Princess without a single soldier. .”

The content of the secret letter is roughly like this.

Miao Cheng, Liu Zhuwen and the others have already captured Shicheng County, and the imperial guards of the two armies are staying in the city.The remaining soldiers have continued to march westward a few days ago.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Eunuch Liu squeezed his throat and said: "The emperor's Wencheng Wude, he should be the emperor of our Great Song and Qianqiu."

Zhao Dongting was already used to this kind of flattery, so he didn't take it seriously, and just said: "The defenders of Shicheng County have no intention of resisting, and Duan Qilin, the king of Dali, has fled north in a hurry. It is very difficult to cause great damage to our army if he comes to Dali territory. Eunuch Liu, go and announce Duanshi immediately, I have something to tell him. By the way, announce Zhu Haiwang too!"

It is also time to lay out Dali.

Otherwise, when Liu Zhuwen and the others take down the Dali Imperial City, the layout will inevitably be hasty.

"promise!"

Eunuch Liu took the order and left again.

Zhao Dongting tapped the table with his fingers lightly in thought.

As Duan Shi is the prince of Dali, the position of Dali Jiedushi can only be his.Because in his capacity, he can suppress many diehard loyalists of the Dali royal family.

As for the real power of Dali, Zhao Dongting was unwilling to hand it over to Duan Shi.
