Datang New Order

ps: Thanks to Jiu Lei Zheng Tian and Chao Zhao Mu Mu r for their rewards.Another: Laofan will go to Changping for a meeting tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the update cannot be guaranteed, it depends on the situation, sorry.

In the winter of the second year of Tianyou (AD 905), on November 25, the allied forces of the feudal lords and the Yan army fought decisively in Bohequan, north of Zezhou. , the allied forces of the princes collapsed, and the Yan army won a brilliant victory.

Because the Yan army had a large-scale cavalry force, the failed coalition forces of the princes suffered heavy casualties. In this battle, the coalition forces of the princes killed more than 7000 people and captured more than [-] people. Most of them were killed or captured on the way to escape. Yes, only a few tens of thousands fled back to Gaoping.For the Yan army, more than [-] people were killed and more than [-] were injured, including more than [-] minor injuries.

Yuan Cong's pro-army commander Wang Yanzhang died under the knife. The found body was divided into two pieces from the right shoulder down. Several Liang Jun prisoners who buried his body vomited on the spot.

The commander of Tingdu made Wang Yanqiu intercepted by the cavalry of Zhaozhou Army on the way to escape. He fought hard but died from dozens of crossbows.

Jianwu Army Jiedu envoy Zhu Youning led the remnant troops to besiege Zhengcun, five miles east of Bohequan. After holding on for three days, he was set on fire by the Yan army and his body was unidentifiable.

The Jiedu envoy Zhang Guihou surrendered to the Yan army on the battlefield, and was escorted to Zezhou for custody, waiting for the final judgment of Yan Wang Li Chengzhong.

Jing Wang Ma Yin was captured on the spot by the Yan army, and was shot to death by arrows while he was being escorted.

Guo Qiqi and Wang Shike stepped forward to swindle Lingchuan, a strategic point in the northeast of Zezhou and Zhengdong of Gaoping, and then offered the city to the Yan army.Lingchuan is the entrance of Baixing in the east of the river. It is connected to Huguan on the upper side and Zezhou on the lower side. The acquisition of Lingchuan by the Yan army is equivalent to completely blocking Baixing. At the same time, it also opened up the connection between the north and the south.The coalition forces of the princes were completely surrounded in the Gaoping area.

So far, there are still more than [-] people in the allied forces of the princes. Among them, Kang Huaiying's Baoyi Army, Yang Shihou's Wuning Army, and He Delun's Huazhou Army have not suffered any major losses, and they are still worthy of a battle.Liang Wang didn't blame Wang Zongji and Li Shenfu for not doing their best, but comforted them with kind words-at this time, the coalition forces of the princes could no longer afford any changes.

However, the loss of Jianwu Army, Yuan Cong's Qin Army, Tingzidu, Zhencai, and Baoda Army directly hurt the foundation of Liang Army. The more Liang Wang thought about it, the more anxious and cold he became, and he fell ill not long after returning to Gaoping.

If you want to talk about the hardest blow to Liang Jun.It was undoubtedly Zhu Youning's death in battle.Zhu Youning is the nephew of King Liang. He was intelligent and familiar with military affairs since he was a child. Since he joined the army with King Liang, he has gradually grown into a handsome talent under King Liang's sole responsibility in the battles of besieging Qin Zongquan and fighting for Henan.In the previous hegemony between Xuanwu and Hedong, Zhu Youning was given the responsibility of commanding, and he had outstanding authority in the army.

In King Liang's subordinate system, Zhu Youning, Shi Shucong, and Ge Congzhou are regarded as one of the three great talents, and they are all figures who can let King Liang entrust the overall situation.Even the broken halberds of Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu, the top brave generals in the army, did not have as much impact on Liang Jun as Zhu Youning's death in battle.King Liang was so angry that he fell ill immediately.

In addition, more than half of Shi Shucong's Bao Dajun was lost.It also had a profound impact on Liang Jun.Shi Shucong is another handsome talent worthy of a great job, but unlike Zhu Youning and Liang Wang's blood relationship, he, like Ge Congzhou, can be alone.Relying on the strength of one's own parts.The loss of those veterans under his command caused Shu Cong's strength to drop suddenly. Now let him take charge of the leadership.The rest of the generals will never be easily convinced.

The loss of more than [-] people, perhaps the only benefit is that the food can last for another ten days.But the problem now is that the coalition forces of the princes no longer have the courage to fight decisively. Even if they can persist for a few more days, what is the use of saving the overall situation?

Liang Wang was seriously ill and unable to discuss matters, so he had to authorize Jingxiang to call an emergency military meeting to discuss the next step.

Only ten days later, half of the people sitting in the festival hall were empty. Zhu Youning, Zhang Guihou, Zhang Cunjing, Li Si'an, Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yanqiu, Ma Yin, Guo Qiqi, Wang Shike... or dead or alive, are no longer here, let Jing Xiang looked disappointed.

The military meeting was held in a dull atmosphere, and the discussions came and went, but no regulations were discussed. The situation in front of us is already obvious. Regardless of the fact that the strength of the army is still not low compared to the Yan army, there are even more. But the Yan army has blocked the north and the south, and has firmly occupied the upper hand. Not to mention the low morale now, even if they can die, they must be willing to fight with you.As long as the Yan army defends Shihoubao, Zezhou, and Lingchuan, it only takes a month for the army to disintegrate. Why should they fight with you?

It wasn't until the evening that King Liang sent a note from his sickbed that the military discussion had a preliminary result.

The allied forces of the princes asked the Yan army for peace, and the Yan army let go of the passage and let the allied forces withdraw from Hedong.King Liang promised to ask the emperor for an edict to restore the title of King Yan, recognize King Yan's rule over the entire Hebei and Liaodong, and bring the land of Hedong into the Kingdom of Yan.This is a peace request equivalent to admitting defeat. Liang Wang finally pulled back his face, and the generals in the military discussion, especially everyone under Liang Wang, felt deeply humiliated.

It's just that the situation is like this, so what?So Li Zhen was ordered to go to Luzhou to discuss peace negotiations.

During the 20 years since the rise of King Liang, whenever there was any lobbying involving military and state affairs, Li Zhen always came forward. He was sharp-tongued, good at observing words and deeds, and was a "political strategist" in the Xuanwu system.It’s just that in the past, they have always been envoys to persuade them to surrender, or to lobby for alliances. There has never been an act of "seeking peace". Even if they "seek peace", they are all "fraudulent peace". To sue for peace?

Li Zhenman, full of the hopes of his generals and officials, left Gaoping, crossed the Changping Passage, and came to Shihou Fort.After he reported his family name, the soldiers stationed in Shihoubao of the Yan Army did not recognize him, but they heard that he was the "Envoy of the King of Liang", so they hurried back to report.

So Li Zhen waited in front of the checkpoint of Shihoubao for a while, then entered the outpost of Shihoubao; ...the day is over.

During the day, he met the group leader, the head of the capital, the commander, the commander, the commander of the capital, and the officers of Yuhou at all levels. At that time, Meng Xuxing, the commander of the Youzhou army, Wang Yibo, the inspector, and Xue Jisheng, the Sima, all went to Luzhou to participate in the temporary military meeting, and have not returned yet.

Li Zhen had no choice but to rest temporarily in the middle camp of Shihoubao.Tossing and turning that night, unable to sleep.He considers himself to be one of the most important ministers and dignitaries in the world, and he feels very dissatisfied when he has received such treatment.But Li Zhen thought about it, this is the characteristic of the entire Yan army system - when something happens, it is reported step by step, not to belittle and humiliate him.

A few days later, Li Zhen and his entourage were escorted to Luzhou by the Yan army. Along the road, the sergeants of the brigade could be seen heading south.Come to the tall city of Luzhou.I saw the banners flying at the top of the city, and soldiers and horses were everywhere above and below the city, and the whole city became a huge barracks.

It's just what he saw and heard on the road made Li Zhen terrified.He thought to himself, how could the King of Yan recruit such a large army with only one place in Hebei, and judging by the aura of these troops, they were all well-trained, and they were not used to fill the numbers at all!

Li Zhen did not see King Yan himself.It is said that after the Luzhou military meeting yesterday, King Yan went from Lingchuan to Zezhou, saying that he wanted to condolences and commend the sergeants who had done meritorious service.Li Zhen felt a little resentful about this, so he went to any prince in the world.They all received the highest courtesy, and all the princes greeted them in person. Some princes with little power even bowed their knees in front of Li Zhen.But King Yan is fine.I'd rather go to the south for a military parade than wait a while in Luzhou, doesn't King Yan know.Is he here to discuss military affairs?

It was Han Yanhui who met Li Zhen in the Luzhou government office.Speaking of which, Li Zhen and Han Yanhui were also old acquaintances. When the princes of the world gathered in the Eastern Capital, Han Yanhui once attended the meeting on behalf of the King of Yan.He knew that this person was awarded the rank of general under the tent of King Yan, but the responsibilities he assumed were half civilized and half military, similar to himself to a certain extent, and also belonged to the army counselor.

Since he couldn't see King Yan, Li Zhen had no choice but to cheer up and deal with Han Yanhui.

"Come here, I'm sending the King of Yan and all of you off, it's a very rich and honorable event!" Li Zhen spoke with great momentum.

Han Yanhui read a lot, and if he was placed in peace, he would be able to cope with the imperial court's scientific research. His main duty under the tent of King Yan was to unite the front, that is, to fight among the foreign departments. family", so they were not "shocked" by Li Zhen's words—it was a shocking statement, which is a common method used by political strategists.

Seeing that Han Yanhui's face was calm, he didn't answer "Why did you say that" in a timely manner, but just looked at him with a smile, Li Zhen suddenly felt a little discouraged.But the words had to be finished, and he could only continue to talk eloquently with this "amazing words".

"Brother Zang Ming went to Luoyang this spring, and he also knows the current situation in the world. At that time, the emperor divided the feudal lords, but Hebei and Hedong were the only ones missing. I am very sorry for the king of Yan. His Royal Highness Liang Wang of a certain family actually has no intention of fighting with the king of Yan. For the enemy, the plot is all revenge——Brother Zang Ming should also know how much enmity has been accumulated between Xuanwu and Hedong for many years. Although Li Yaer is dead, his son is still there, and he is called the "false king" ', not only did not come to Luoyang to join the alliance, but instead prepared for war.

The gap in the Tang Dynasty has been broken for a hundred years. His Royal Highness Liang Wang really does not want the people of the world to suffer from the war again, so he has no choice but to send troops to attack Li's "false king".However, King Yan was instigated by the "Pseudo King of Jin", but sent troops to help him without knowing what was going on. As a last resort, His Royal Highness Liang Wang fought with King Yan, which is really a sigh!

But today is not what it used to be. The lineage of the puppet king of the Li family has been punished, and the source of the turmoil in the world has gone. His Royal Highness King Liang is planning for the Tang Dynasty and the people. He is willing to stop fighting with King Liang. From then on, the world will be peaceful and the people Wouldn't it be great to live and work in peace and contentment?

Of course, His Royal Highness King Liang's sincerity is obvious, and he is willing to give up the whole of Hebei, and rule from King Yan across the river from then on.If the King of Yan agrees, His Royal Highness Liang Wang said that he can play to the emperor, restore the title of King Yan, establish the country as Yan, and give Zelu two prefectures as a great gift.From then on, King Yan could be the king of a country, build temples and shrines in Youzhou, and pass on his descendants to the Spring and Autumn Period.The officials under the tent can also be the ministers of the founding of the country, and the title of Marquis Daibo is not far away!Hehe, brother Zang Ming is under the command of King Yan, he can be regarded as an important minister of the country, even if he is the Duke of the country, it must not be difficult!

Now all the chapters proposed to the emperor have been closed. As long as King Yan nods, there will be no more military affairs in the world, and the princes will be prosperous and rich! ...Of course, if Brother Zang Ming is not very satisfied with his future title, and if he fights a little bit for his brother, and if the King of Liang is to be persuaded to personally give Brother Zang Ming his title, he will definitely not be able to escape the position of Duke!
