Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Li Tai did not deliberately treat Wang Lin and his subordinates harshly. Difficult tasks would naturally come with extraordinary rewards. If Wang Lin could really withstand the pressure of Hu Luguang's attack on the invaders and make an effective counterattack, then of course he would not hesitate to reward her and give her the prestigious treatment of being named his wife and yinzi.

After making this decision, Li Taidang ordered people to quickly convey the relevant orders to the Nanchuan front line, and ordered Li Miao to immediately dispatch his troops to move his disciples northward after accepting Wang Lin's surrender. The male and female family members were resettled in Luoyang, while Wang Lin and her subordinates continued their march northward to Youzhou to be controlled by the Youzhou Governor's Office.

This incident about Wang Lin also made Li Tai realize that his cousin Li Miao did have a good view of the overall situation, so he still had full authority to decide on all subsequent matters of the Nanchuan expedition, including the surrender and capture of prisoners. There is no need to ask for further instructions on these matters. We will summarize them and discuss them after the war is over and the army is victorious.

When the emperor's order was conveyed to Nanchuan, Li Miao was very happy when he saw that the emperor had many words of praise for him in the imperial edict. Wei Shou, who came to make this suggestion to him, sighed: "Uncle, it's not that I'm not unfaithful." Knowing the general idea, this plan will be embraced by the saints. In the past, people were entangled in material opinions, or they were misunderstood by thieves and old customs. Now that the oranges have entered the pass, they should cultivate themselves, cultivate their character, and change their minds. In the future, the branches will be regenerated into jade buds, and they will be able to take care of themselves. Stand upright in the court!"

Wei Shou was able to receive more courtesy and honors in the Northern Qi court. Naturally, he also possessed quite good political wisdom. Profound.

After this small test, he was still very sharp. He was feeling complacent in his heart. When he heard his nephew's sincere and implicit advice, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He could only nod his head in response, knowing in his heart that in today's big world, Under Tang's rule, he really needed to adjust his way of dealing with people.

When Li Miao conveyed the court's decision to Wang Lin and others, Wang Lin and others felt mixed emotions for a while. They were happy that the Tang Dynasty finally accepted their surrender, and they no longer had to wander around the world like ownerless ghosts with nowhere to rely on. What they were worried about was that the imperial court did not leave them in Nanchuan as they expected. , in preparation for the conquest of Jiangdong, but to move them to Youzhou in one fell swoop.

"Where is Youzhou? How many millions of miles away is it?"

Many of Wang Lin's tribe are Jianghuai gangsters, and their life experience has only been in this swamp. Many people have no idea where Youzhou is. At this time, when they heard that they and the others were going to such an unknown place immediately, many people There was a look of fear and confusion on his face.

Of course, Wang Lin also hoped to stay in a familiar place in her heart, so after learning about this, she boldly asked Li Miao: "I am fortunate to be blessed by the Supreme Lord and the King, and I am extremely grateful. I want to die in service! However, I am a water ghost by the river. I grew up here and my skills are mostly used in the rivers and lakes. I suddenly left my hometown and landed like a fish and turtle. I am afraid that I have no skills to serve the king and repay this kindness. As a gift, I promise you to serve the king and conquer Zhejiang, Fujian and Lingnan for the king!"

After Li Miao heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he shouted angrily: "You come here to beg, and you are extremely respectful. Now that the situation is about to change, I beg for indulgence. How much God's kindness is, how can you weigh it? Is it because of desire? Trial method knife?”

"I don't dare, I don't dare, your Majesty, forgive me!"

After Wang Lin heard this, she hurriedly fought for the ground with her head until her forehead was bruised and blood was smeared on her face. When she heard Li Miao snorted as a sign of forgiveness, she stopped and did not dare to bargain any more.

Although the journey is long, it is also an opportunity for Wang Lin and her tribe. Moreover, their family members can still stay in Luoyang, and it is said that they can be granted land and household registration based on their merits in guarding the border. This is also a great expectation for many people.

Many of them have committed evil deeds and failed to cultivate meritorious deeds throughout their lives, and their families have often been affected by following them around the rivers and lakes. If they can earn a stable livelihood for their families by relying on this person, it will not be considered a sinful person with no benefit to the world.

So in the end, under Wang Lin's call and restraint, the group of people packed up their few luggage, and under the leadership and supervision of Tang Jun, they crossed Hebei in batches and headed towards Heluo via Suilu.

Regarding the interaction between Wang Lin and Tang Jun, although Tang Jun did not deliberately hide the Nanchen Army, they did not disclose too many details.

The commander-in-chief of Nanchen, Nankang King Chen Tanlang, was still following the orders of the leader of the country, Chen Chang, to find a way to solve Hou Qi's problem. Chen Chang told him that after entering the country, he would imprison Hou Qi first. As a result, Hou Qi's years of troubled times were not in vain. After Chen Tanlang entered the country, Hou Qi directly avoided seeing him.

Therefore, during this period of time, Chen Tanlang did not pay much attention to the situation of the Tang army. He was always sending envoys to argue with Hou Qi. And when he heard the relevant news again, it was that Wang Lin's problem had been solved. She surrendered directly to Datang and evacuated Nanchuan as a whole, and the team was already on the road!

"Why is the might of a great country so great? Wang Lin is a stubborn and unruly traitor who roams the rivers and lakes. The First Lord failed to eradicate this problem through several conquests. How can the Tang army get rid of this stubborn problem before they start fighting?"

When Chen Tanlang learned about this situation, his eyes widened in surprise and he sighed in disbelief. Then I thought about the fact that my task here had not been completed, and I felt a little irritable.

However, something even more depressing happened next. After Wang Lin's problem was solved, the Tang army would leave Nanchuan and continue to the southwest, joining Li Qianzhe's troops in Xiangzhou who had already gone there to jointly conquer Chun Yuliang in Guizhou.

According to the previous agreement between the two countries, the Nanchen army did not need to participate in the subsequent war. Of course, the captured Lingbiao prefectures and counties would naturally fall under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. However, before the Tang army left, Nanchuan prefectures and counties had to be handed over to the Nanchen army to guard them respectively. Therefore, Li Miao sent someone to invite Chen Tanlang to see him and asked him to prepare for the handover quickly and not to delay the army's departure.

However, when Chen Tanlang faced Li Miao's request, he hesitated and did not dare to accept it. He said with some embarrassment: "Now there is Wuzhou Governor Hou Qi. He has refused to obey the king's orders for a long time. Now he is summoned." , did not come to see you. I have been ordered to pacify Nanchuan, but the troops under my command are not enough. Once the king leads his troops to leave, I am afraid that the situation in Nanchuan will become unstable again..."

Speaking of this, Chen Tanlang was also full of grievances. The imperial court only sent him seven or eight thousand soldiers. However, Nanchuan has always been an area full of powerful forces, and this time Hou Ai failed to recruit him repeatedly. He was obviously wary and dissatisfied.

It's good that the Tang army is staying in the territory to serve as a deterrent. Once the Tang army evacuates, its own troops alone will not have the confidence to suppress the various factions. If Nanchuan is lost in his hands after the delivery is completed, then his sin will be great.

Li Miao couldn't help but have a headache after hearing this. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. He wanted to return Nanchuan, but Nanchen didn't dare to ask for it. If possible, he certainly hopes to continue to control Nanchuan in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, but now the main task of the army is to conquer Guizhou, and there is not much time to stay here to kill with Chen Tanlang.

Cheng Lingxi, who arrived here with Chen Tanlang, felt quite ashamed at this moment, so he said in a deep voice: "The King of Jiangxia also has his own destiny, and he cannot stay here for a long time. I will be ordered to come here now, and there is no one so far." As a result, I will ask the king to stay for two more days, and then he will lead his troops to fight with Houyi..."

After Li Miao heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Although Hou Zhen refused to listen, he was still a dynasty official who respected the orders of Lord Chen. Now he has not shown any signs of rebellion. He hastily attacked with weapons, even if he can be solved quickly. , it will inevitably make Yu Zhu Nanchuan powerful and suspicious, and the people on the surface will be uneasy.

Now my lord is willing to put Nanchuan under the rule of Lord Chen, because he hopes to benefit the politics of Jiangdong, rather than causing turmoil on the surface of the earth. At present, Hou Yi doesn't know where my army is going, so why don't I send another message to show my righteousness, hoping that he can find his way back! "

Hearing what Li Miao said, Chen Tanlang and Cheng Lingxi looked at each other helplessly, and then said to Li Miao: "This will help you, Your Majesty."

So the next moment came when Wei Shou's wonderful work came on stage. He first emphasized that the Tang army had recaptured Wang Lin without any bloodshed, and then scolded Hou Ai for refusing to come to worship. Could it be that he planned to die for Chun Yuliang of Guizhou?

Not long after Li Miao sent this letter of accountability, Hou Qi, who Chen Tanlang had been unable to summon for days, finally showed up. Dressed in civilian clothes and with only a few personal followers, he came to the Tang army camp to pay homage and apologize. He was completely arrogant. attitude.

Seeing Li Miao solve the problem that had troubled him for many days with just one letter, Chen Tanlang felt very complicated for a while. On the one hand, he felt relieved after completing the task assigned by his superiors. On the other hand, he also deeply realized that he was trying to deter these powerful people in Nanchuan. In terms of power, there is a huge gap between their Nanchen and Datang.

The reason why Hou Qi was so obedient was naturally because he was shocked by Wang Lin's smooth surrender. It should be noted that his power is not as powerful as Wang Lin now. I thought that Wang Lin would have some fights with the armies of the two countries, so I still had room to wait and see. But as soon as Wang Lin surrendered, he was immediately exposed. If he acted a little more jumpy, he might really be killed by Wang Lin and Chun Yuliang as Wei Shou said.

Of course, in addition to being frightened, the reason why Hou Qi was no longer as unruly as before was also because there was suddenly no movement from Linchuan Wang Chen Qian, who had interacted closely with him before. This also made Hou Yi suddenly fall into an isolated and helpless situation. At this time, he was threatened by King Jiangxia of the Tang Dynasty, and he could only bow his head and submit.

As for the reason why Chen Qian in Wuzhong didn't have time to talk to Hou Qi, it was because he had already invested his energy in Wujun, and his confidants were already on their way to Wujun with their recently recruited troops.
