Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

In the next few days, Defang took Bozhong or rode out of the city during the day to check the surrounding situation, or inquired about the news in the city, and then asked Bozhong to bring a token and send a letter back to Beijing through the post station person appointed by Taizong's secret decree, announcing the daily news. In the evening, they were invited to Dongyuan Semicolon to teach Changquan and Panlong Cudgel. After more than half a month, Defang and Bozhong learned that Huang Xixun in Shizhou had repelled Li Shun's remaining troops, and that the Xiaxixing Battalion was defeated by the Guang'an Army and At the mouth of the Jialing River, the rebellious army was defeated, and the rest of Li Shun's troops were defeated in Xixixi River, and many were captured.

Defang returned to the inn room in the afternoon and summoned Tian Cheng and Bo Zhong. Concubine Di poured tea and asked, "My lord, what have you and Bo Zhong got today?"

"The news just came from the state capital that Li Shunyu's troops attacked Lingzhou, but they were defeated bravely by the soldiers recruited by Zhang Dan, the prefect, and more than [-] people were beheaded."

"Has the rebellious army subsided?" Concubine Di asked

"No." Defang shook his head, "It is said that there are still remnants turning to Meizhou. I don't know how the battle is going."

"My lord, Meizhou is going to be in a tight spot."

"That's right, but Li Jian, the magistrate of Meizhou, is a man of wisdom and courage. Li Shun's remnants are by no means his opponents, and the rebel army's supplies are difficult to supply. I believe it won't last long."

Concubine Di nodded, "Then there is something wrong with this Jinzhou official?"

"So far, I haven't found anything inappropriate, but I saw the state government actively preparing for war, storing food and training troops, and beheading more than ten wounded soldiers captured in the downtown area yesterday. I heard that the governor of Jinzhou and the government Yamen officials are very close to the people, and there has never been any unjust case, and the people of Jinzhou have given a lot of praise to the officials of the state capital."

"That's really great, so that the prince can return to Beijing to return to life." Concubine Di smiled, "Although the journey is a bit long and I encountered bandits, it's still rewarding."

"Get it?"
