President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 131
"31 Lang, Auntie thought I'd never see you again, beeping..."
Li Tan hugged Concubine Yang who was rushing over, and her head was blown out. It took him a long time to find his own train of thought and asked, "Why are you here, Mother? Where's Dad?"
Concubine Yang's crying didn't delay her from speaking, and she articulated very clearly: "After I left the city, I separated from your father, and I had no choice but to bring someone to find you."
Li Tan: I believe you are a ghost!
Not to mention that she and Li Longji must be the best group that will be protected, even if they are really separated, is it easier to find Li Longji, or is it easier to travel thousands of miles to Liangzhou?
Li Tan swallowed the words he wanted to expose, and said, "Okay, it's safe now, you can go to freshen up and have a rest first, do you have anything to say after you settle down?"
Of course, what Concubine Yang is most afraid of is that Li Tan will not accept her. If that is the case, she will have traveled so many miles in vain.
She wiped her tears, and said softly, "The people I brought settle down too. Oh, there are more than a dozen sinners, and you can deal with them as you like."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Sinner? What sinner?"
Bringing sinners from thousands of miles, this road is not easy to walk, how much hatred is this?
"Well, I happened to meet some unfilial children on the way here. I saw that the things they were holding looked familiar. After questioning them, I heard that these little bastards actually... actually... burned down the academy! 31 Lang, I am sorry I can't stand you, beep..."
After hearing this, Li Tan retracted his previous thoughts. This hatred... is really big.
But... only a dozen people?
Concubine Yang Gui carefully observed his expression, and found that Li Tan's expression became very cold in an instant, and she knew that he must know the news.
Wiping her tears, she said, "I've executed those bastards on the spot, and they are the masterminds left. Bring them back to you, and do whatever you want, 31 Lang...you say something... ..."
Li Tan rubbed his temples, although he hated those people so much and wished to cut them into pieces, he still wanted to appease Concubine Yang Gui at this time.
After all, Concubine Yang was able to bring them here without letting them escape, which is really not easy.
Li Tan said in a warm voice: "Okay, I've already heard about this matter, Madam, let's go to rest first. Come here, take Madam to freshen up and rest."
Qing Kong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lady, please follow me."
Concubine Yang took the maid and walked away step by step, turning her head three times. As soon as she left, Li Tan's face darkened, and he said, "Come here, arrest those insane murderers outside!"
The guard immediately took the order and left.
Li Tan stood there and thought for a while, but was still going to meet Concubine Yang Gui.
The two of them needed to talk alone, he wanted to know what Concubine Yang was thinking.
Although he was puzzled, Li Tan was still prepared to wait.
At least wait until Concubine Yang Guifei washes up and eats, preferably after taking a nap.
Taking this opportunity, he first asked the messenger, "Why did you come back alone? What about them?"
Because Li Tan was in a hurry to send troops to send letters to the three states, he simply sent three messengers there, which would save time.
The messenger said tremblingly, "The other two are still trying to lobby the Governor of the Three States."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Lobbying?"
The messenger also wiped away his tears and said: "We have failed His Highness's entrustment, and they...they refuse to borrow."
Li Tan felt that he should be angry, but he didn't know if it was because too many things had happened recently. He was actually very calm now, and he just asked, "Why didn't you make an excuse?"
The messenger said: "They said that there is no imperial decree, and your deployment of troops is against the law..."
Li Tan sneered shortly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I see, I don't blame you for this matter, you find a way to send a letter to the other two and let them come back, no matter how much they lobby, I am afraid these three people won't agree."
The messenger was stunned for a moment, and originally wanted to say that it might not be impossible to work hard, after all, the situation is critical now, and the governor of the three states may not have heard the news.
However, he took a look at Li Tan's expression, saluted wisely and withdrew.
After he withdrew, Li Tan also ordered Wang Wei to prepare something to reward the messenger this time.
After the messenger left, Li Tan asked someone to call Gongsun Chui over, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Chui came over, and everyone else came too.
Li Tan looked at the gossip on the faces of a group of people and said helplessly: "Okay, I just sent someone to run errands to save money. If you have any questions, ask them first, and then we will get down to business."
Everyone smiled awkwardly, shouldn't they talk about business first and then gossip?
However, they were more open-minded with Li Tan, especially Li Bai, who asked directly: "It was very lively in front of the palace just now, who is here?"
Li Tan said, "The lady is here."
lady?
Everyone was very surprised. Concubine Yang Guifei was the only one who could be called a lady by Li Tan.
But...how did she come here?She came to the saint?
Seeing the thirst for knowledge on everyone's faces, Li Tan had no choice but to narrate the matter and said: "Don't ask me how they got separated and why they came to me. I also want to know, but the lady came from a long way. Alright, let her go to rest first, and wait for her to recover her spirits before we talk about anything else."
Everyone is here, so they can't be sent back, right?
After he said that, everyone had no choice but to suppress their doubts, but everyone knew that things were definitely not as simple as Yang Guifei said.
Li Tan saw that they didn't ask any more questions, so he added: "The lady came here and escorted the thieves who burned the academy together. I have already ordered people to suppress them. Let's discuss how to punish them."
Speaking of the thief who set fire to the academy, everyone was a little excited.
Even Wang Wei, who is so elegant and elegant, is gnashing his teeth with hatred now: "How can we discuss this? I wish I could cut them into pieces!"
Li Tan said calmly: "Coincidentally, I thought the same way, and I wanted to ask, if I sentenced them to Ling Chi, wouldn't you think I was too much?"
Of course not too much.
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Gongsun Chui, who was still able to maintain his rationality, struggled to say: "But if this is the case...the lady..."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Since my lady handed them over to me, she doesn't treat them as the Yang family."
Li Tan knew in his heart that this was actually the nomination certificate handed in by Concubine Yang Gui.
After all, the situation between the two of them is somewhat reversed now. If Li Tan doesn't want to take in Concubine Yang, or has other ideas, Concubine Yang has nothing to do.
After she was reborn, did she do something wrong, so she still has to rely on others now.
The only most correct decision to make is probably to abandon everything and come to talk to Li.
After everyone listened to Li Tan's words, they stopped discussing the fate of those people.
Everyone knew that even Ling Chi couldn't understand the hatred in their hearts, but they couldn't be immersed in hatred, especially they couldn't let Li Tan be immersed in hatred.
After all, he is still young.
After the gossip, Li Tan said with a serious expression: "I came here mainly to discuss with you, and the governors of Lanzhou, Yuanzhou, and Ningzhou refused to excuse me."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then Gongsun Chui's face changed drastically: "They...are they going to watch the fire from the other side?"
Originally, Du Fu and others were still thinking about what the governors of these states were trying to do, but after Gongsun Chui said this, they suddenly realized.
Wang Wei sneered and said, "I'm afraid you want to be self-reliant?"
Li Tan coughed lightly: "They may not dare to stand on their own. What Gongsun said hit the nail on the head. They are planning to watch the fire from the other side. Whether they fight or surrender depends on the situation."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at Wang Wei, feeling a little worried, thinking that he should let Wang Wei go to the academy to teach for a period of time first, to calm down his mind before talking?
At the same time, he hated those people even more in his heart. What kind of appearance Wang Wei, a refined gentleman, was made by them, this kind of spiritual trauma is the most difficult to mend.
Li Bai didn't know that Li Tan still had the time to care about Wang Wei's state of mind. At this time, he could be said to be furious, and said angrily, "These people are deeply favored by the emperor, and the imperial court treats them well, yet they are so ungrateful!"
All of a sudden, the lobby was full of crusades against the governors of the three states.
Li Tan suddenly said: "This is also the court's loss of popular support."
Li Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent.
They are all loyal ministers, but let them evaluate what the court has done this time, and they must say that the court is too disappointing.
Du Fu tentatively asked: "Then... what does Your Majesty plan to do?"
Li Tan said: "What I mean is...send a messenger to inform them again. If they still don't agree, then I will have a good talk with them."
Wang Wei immediately asked, "How?"
Li Tan said calmly: "Of course I used soldiers to talk to them."
This means that if the governor of Sanzhou disagrees, he will be beaten by Li Tan.
Du Fu immediately said: "It's not right." After saying this, he said two more words: "Not right, not right, the imperial court has already... how can we go against the law like this?"
Li Tan asked back: "Then leave Chang'an alone?"
The imperial court has run away, so they definitely don't intend to guard Chang'an anymore. Even if they regain it in the future, the people of Chang'an will have undergone a round of trials.
Du Fu was at a loss for words, and the others didn't know what to say.
Li Tan said frankly: "I know what you are worried about, but now is not the time to invite names. I would rather give up this reputation than keep Anlu Mountain from Yanxi Gate."
Everyone saw his firm gaze, and after looking at each other, they reached a consensus in an instant: Let He Lao educate him!
Although this meeting is said to be a discussion, Li Tan actually informed everyone that I am going to make a move, so you should be mentally prepared.
After the meeting was over, everyone left the palace and turned to the left unanimously, and went to He Zhizhang's house.
Li Tan, on the other hand, went to the study room, and began to think about how not to scare the people of the three states.
And the most important point is that if he fights in the past, he will definitely win, so what will happen to the governors of the three states?
He will definitely not let these people continue to be governors, but who is suitable to be governors here?
At this time, Li Tan suddenly realized that few of the people around him had experience in local government.
This is too much of a headache, and there are few people on his side, and three more are assigned to be the governor... Isn't this a joke?
Just when he felt a little pain in his head, he saw Wang Wei coming in a hurry, saluted Li Tan and said, "Your Majesty, there are other people accompanying you with your lady."
"Huh?" Li Tan was a little surprised: "Who?"
"He claims to be surnamed Yan, named Zhenqing, and styled Qingchen."
Li Tan almost jumped up on the spot.
Damn it, Yan Zhenqing!
Seeing Li Tan's excited expression instantly, Wang Wei couldn't help being a little surprised, what's wrong?
Li Tan suppressed his excitement: "He came alone?"
Wang Wei shook his head: "He brought his family along."
"Are you settled?"
Wang Wei said: "I am going to ask the king for instructions, where are you going to put this family?"
Now that they are in the new city, there must be houses, the problem is how to arrange them.
For example, the core figures of the state capital are generally arranged in Weiyangfang, while local tycoons like Yin Zizhe who stand on Li Tan's side are assigned to Qunxianfang, and ordinary officials of the state capital are assigned to Xuanzhengfang. .
The remaining areas, such as rich areas, civilian areas and poor areas, are clearly distinguished.
The people brought by Concubine Yang must not be assigned to other places, but there is a saying whether they live in Weiyangfang or Xuanzhengfang.
Li Tan said decisively: "Get them a yard in Weiyangfang, well, let's arrange them in the palace for the time being."
As Li Tan talked, he rejoiced that when the palace was built, it was not built rigidly according to the real palace.
Otherwise, it is not very easy to arrange this family, after all, the normal palace is only divided into front and back.
Yan Zhenqing brought his family here, it's not a problem for Li Tan to arrange their family in the backyard, and the front yard of the palace usually has few places for people to live.
Fortunately, there is the Prince Ning's Mansion today.
Wang Wei was surprised, he didn't expect this Yan Zhenqing to be able to get a house in Weiyangfang, and he began to think about who this person was.
But before he left, Li Tan suddenly asked: "I remember you have an elder brother named Wang Jin, where are you now?"
Wang Wei said: "Erlang is now the Shaoyin of Taiyuan."
Li Tan thought about it, Wang Jin would still assist Li Guangbi in the future, and he couldn't help feeling very regretful, if he could fool Wang Jin over here, why would he worry about it?
But it's fine now, he nodded and said: "Well, you go to settle down Yan Zhenqing's family first, and I'll see them after they have a rest."
Anyway, he is not the emperor, and there is no reason for people to drag his tired body to come to court. It just so happens that he still needs to talk to Concubine Yang—how did he bring so many people here?
As a result, he did not expect Concubine Yang Guifei to sleep until the next day.
When Li Tan went to see her, Concubine Yang Guifei was very absent-minded and said, "I was very worried along the way, for fear of encountering rebels or other green forest thieves, and I slept peacefully."
Li Tan saw that Concubine Yang was dressed as an alluring beauty, and couldn't help laughing: "I dare not say it in other places, but Liangzhou is still safe."
Concubine Yang also said with a smile: "When I came here, I saw this city gate and knew that Liangzhou must be safe and sound."
Li Tan asked directly: "I'm not going around in circles with you anymore, why did you come here by yourself?"
Concubine Yang Gui said very bluntly: "If you don't run over, are you waiting to be given to death in Mawei Post?"
Li Tan hesitated for a moment and said, "You are different now. Everyone knows that you are a concubine Xian, so you may not repeat the same mistakes."
Concubine Yang shook her head: "This is a gamble with my life. I can't afford to gamble. What's the use of me being good? My surname is Yang, and Azhao is also surnamed Yang. Azhao has been reused because of me. Isn't that enough?"
Li Tan didn't continue to dwell on this topic any longer, it was already here anyway.
"How did you get out?"
Concubine Yang Gui said: "I'm in a hurry on the road, it's too easy to leave."
Li Tan asked, "Did you bring anyone with you?"
Concubine Yang shook her head: "I only brought Aying, a maid."
Li Tan was taken aback: "You are too courageous, the two girls are on the road, and it is still so uneasy now..."
Especially Concubine Yang has such a beautiful appearance, even if she is dressed in ordinary clothes, she can't hide her appearance and temperament. Aying beside her is more beautiful than ordinary women.
Concubine Yang smiled wryly: "How could I not know the danger? But it's better than losing my life."
Li Tan shook his head, thinking that you are lucky, otherwise... I'm afraid you will feel that life is worse than death.
But since Concubine Yang arrived safely, he didn't continue to ask, but only asked: "Since there are only you and Aying, how can those suspects be willing to go with you?"
Yang Guifei said calmly: "I lied to them. I said I would come to find you. If you escort me there, you will definitely treat them well."
Li Tan looked in disbelief: "They really believed it? They burned down my academy!"
Concubine Yang Gui was also very angry: "These people are not worthy of being the Yang family's children, and they really think that those students want to seize the treasure that belongs to you, and they are doing you a favor by snatching the treasure back!"
Li Tan said expressionlessly: "If those students can come back alive, let alone those treasures, even if I have to give up all my wealth, I will not hesitate."
Concubine Yang raised her hand to touch his head, and said distressedly: "Aniang knows, Aniang knows, so they leave it to you to dispose of them as you like, and I won't say much."
Li Tan sighed and said, "So they really escorted you here."
Concubine Yang nods her head. To be honest, she doesn't really understand what these people are thinking. It's just that maybe they regard the money as extremely important, so they think that others also regard money as very important.
Li Tan asked again: "Then what happened to Yan Zhenqing?"
Concubine Yang said: "I met him on the road. He was originally in Dingyou, Luoyang. When Luoyang fell, he refused to surrender and fled with his family to Chang'an. I didn't expect..."
Li Tan asked, "Didn't he go to the imperial court?"
A loyal minister like Yan Zhenqing, under the circumstances at that time, should either stay in Chang'an to resist Anlu Mountain, or follow in the footsteps of the imperial court.
Concubine Yang said: "He really wanted to go to the court at the beginning, but I told him that the current court has lost its spirit and even lost Chang'an, so how can it really resist Anlu Mountain with all its strength? It's better to come and find you .”
Li Tan: ...
"But for me... why don't you go and find his cousin?"
Concubine Yang was at a loss: "Who is his cousin?"
"Yan Gaoqing used to be An Lushan's subordinate. After Anlushan's rebellion, Yan Gaoqing refused to join forces. At this time, she should be recruiting righteous men to resist Anlushan together."
Concubine Yang half-understood and said: "That's it, but if An Lushan's subordinates are too far away, how can Yan Zhenqing get there? He has no guide."
When she said this, Li Tan realized that something was wrong - Concubine Yang ran away as soon as she said she wanted to, but she was able to get here smoothly, which meant that she had a way to guide her.
In other words, she was already ready to escape.
Li Tan didn't continue to ask. After all, Yan Zhenqing had come, and he also wanted to understand why An Lushan was able to rush over like a broken bamboo despite having less than ten years of development time. It must be because many people did not form a strong resistance.
During the Anlu Mountain uprising in history, many people spontaneously resisted Anlu Mountain, and the brothers Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing were the best among them.
But now when the An Lushan incident happened, Yan Zhenqing was still in Ding You, not only his trajectory has changed, but the trajectory of many people may have changed as well.
Seeing Li Tan pondering, Concubine Yang asked, "Are you trying to save Chang'an?"
Li Tan was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
Concubine Yang smiled faintly: "I don't know you yet? By the way, how is Zhu Xieli doing now?"
Li Tan was not afraid that Concubine Yang would reveal the secret, so he directly told about Zhu Xieli's recent situation.
Concubine Yang didn't think that Li Tan was audacious like the others. As a person who had been reborn, she realized now that if she wasn't a little bit more courageous, she wouldn't be able to escape from this prison.
She didn't think Li Tan did anything wrong, after all, if Datang lost their mother and son's place, at least Zhu Xieli would take them in.
Of course, it depends on the relationship between Li Tan and Zhu Xieli.
Concubine Yang does not believe in such things as feelings, so she thinks the best way is to use benefits. Now Li Tan is doing well, and Suma City must rely on them.
But she felt that with Zhu Xieli's ability, sooner or later she would not need to rely on Liangzhou, so she had to make the relationship between them even closer.
Concubine Yang Gui felt that she had no other skills, but this kind of thing could still be done, not to mention that Zhu Xieli's mother was also there, and she had a good relationship with that princess before, so she should be able to talk.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yang said to Li Tan: "When will I meet Sha Tuokedun again? It's been a long time since I haven't seen her, and I still look a little like her."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Yin Xing later, by the way, Princess Yuan'an is also here."
Concubine Yang Gui was a little surprised: "Why is she here?"
Li Tan explained it, and Concubine Yang Gui couldn't help but look forward to it after hearing this: "If I could be like her back then..."
Li Tan glanced at her and said, if it's a normal plot, you are better than her... so what?
Li Tan also couldn't think of an adjective. Princess Yuan'an's actions were all based on the good of Datang, so even if she went too far, Li Tan could understand.
However, in the original description of this book, Concubine Yang gave up the state of her parents completely for the sake of love and love, which he absolutely disagrees with.
Even if Zhu Xieli wanted to rebel now and came to tell Li Tan that it was for them to be together, Li Tan would immediately turn his back on him.
Two people can be together, it must be because of the same three views, and if there is a disagreement in this regard, then the three views must also have differences, and it is just a delay in breaking up after a while.
Li Tan asked: "When you decided to leave Chang'an, what happened? Didn't you persuade me? Didn't daddy transfer me back?"
Concubine Yang came back to her senses and said angrily: "Do you think I didn't tell you? How is it possible? I emphasized that transferring you back would definitely be able to defend against Anlu Mountain, but the sage didn't believe it. Hey, Ge Shuhan's disastrous defeat has already frightened you." I have broken his courage, even if I said that even if you are not allowed to go back to fight, it is good to let you escort, but he can't wait, afraid that An Lushan will already call when you go back."
Li Tan: ...
He originally thought that Li Longji didn't let him go because he was afraid that the Turks and Tubo would take the opportunity to attack him, but it turned out that he was the one who was thinking the most.
He sighed and said: "If I were in Chang'an, I would definitely... Forget it, it's useless to say this now, Chang'an hasn't fallen yet, I still have a chance."
Concubine Yang was silent for a while before she said: "Don't force it, Chang'an... hey, Chang'an..."
Thinking of Chang'an, and thinking of Luoyang, Li Tan felt a little heavy.
He left after talking with Concubine Yang for a while. Before leaving, he said: "Xinzhou Prefecture is not too prosperous now, but if you are bored, please go out for a stroll. I have to discuss with others how to clean up the place." Governor of the Three States."
Concubine Yang Gui was full of confidence in him, she didn't feel that Li Tan was talking big, she waved at him with a smile and said, "Go, don't worry about me."
After Li Tan finished speaking, he left the backyard, and was going to go to Gongsun Chui to check the grain and grass. After all, most of the previous wars were at the door of the house, and the requirements for the transportation of grain and grass were not very strict.
This time, the longest trip may be to Chang'an, with a distance of more than 700 kilometers. This length must be well planned.
Wang Wei, the transfer envoy, may really be about to take up his post.
When Li Tan was thinking about this, he saw He Zhizhang walking slowly towards him.
Seeing He Zhizhang's slow pace, Li Tan couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.
Before the academy accident, although He Zhizhang was not young, he was energetic and walked vigorously. He didn't look like an old man of his age at all.
After the accident, although Li Tan was treated in a timely manner, He Zhizhang still seemed to be ten years old suddenly, and he looked a little old.
The only hope now is that He Zhizhang can recover after the Pearl Academy is built.
While thinking about this, Li Tan adjusted his mood and walked over to ask, "Why is Mr. He here? If there is anything to do, just send someone to call me. It's the same when I go to your place."
He Zhizhang shook his head with a smile and said: "How can we do that? The world is in chaos today. Although it is not at the point where rituals and music collapse, it is not much better. We in Liangzhou should set an example for the world."
Li Tan shook his head: "This is not how the world sets an example. What's more, although I don't have the name of a master and apprentice besides you, I have the reality of a master and apprentice. Even if I respect my teacher as a prince, what am I?"
He Zhizhang frowned, and asked, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to use force to talk to those three states?"
Li Tan: ...
This summary is really incisive, who told He Zhizhang?
While thinking secretly, he said with a smile: "How can it be? Of course I want to understand it with emotion and reason. Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with the governor of the three states. If you wait for the transfer order... I'm afraid you won't be able to wait."
He Zhizhang said: "Okay, don't try to lie to me, I'm not so unreasonable, but after all, you are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, you have to be measured, you don't care about your own reputation, you also care about other people's lives, otherwise wouldn't it be Is it the second Anlu Mountain?"
Li Tan said with a serious expression, "Don't worry Mr. He, I won't be impulsive."
He Zhizhang nodded, and left again with his hands behind his back.
Li Tan looked at him with some puzzlement, what on earth did he come here for?Just to remind him not to kill innocent people indiscriminately?
At this time, Li Bai and others who were waiting outside were discussing, wondering if He Zhizhang could persuade Li Tan.
After He Zhizhang came out, they went up to meet him and asked, "Old He?"
He Zhizhang waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty knows what he's doing, just cooperate with him."
"Ah?" Li Bai was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that He Zhizhang would definitely persuade Li Tan not to use troops easily.
Do you want to lose your reputation by mobilizing troops against your own family?
He Zhizhang said with his hands behind his back: "Life does something and doesn't do it. When you reach my age, you will know, don't be burdened by fame, and do what you think is right. You are indeed thinking about him, but why don't you think about it?" Think, if he doesn't do this, what will happen to the people in Chang'an? What will happen to the people in Luoyang?"
Everyone bowed their heads in shame, and He Zhizhang said again: "I think he understands better than you."
This is also the reason why He Zhizhang didn't persuade him. In fact, what really moved him was Li Tan's statement that he didn't care about his own reputation.
This is the true feeling of worrying about the country and the people.
If the academy incident hadn't happened, He Zhizhang might have objected, but after this incident, he couldn't help thinking, if even his own people could be so cruel, how would An Lushan treat the people?How to deal with those officials who refuse to surrender?
Thinking about it this way, there is no reason to stop Li Tan.
Li Tan got the approval of He Zhizhang, and he made more fanfare. He directly found Gongsun Chui. When Gongsun Chui came over, he had a headache and said, "My lord, I'm afraid there is not enough food and grass."
After all, Liangzhou had always been a poor household before, relying on relief from the imperial court, and it still needed food relief last year.
Even if there is a water source now, it will take a year and a half to slow down, and in order to defend the Turks, the border towns are heavily guarded, which is equivalent to fewer people farming and increased consumption.
Li Tan paused and said, "Go buy it, no matter where you buy it from, no matter how much you spend, you must ensure the supply of military rations."
Gongsun Chui did not object, he knew that Li Tan was rich, very rich, but he was not sure how long he could supply the army, he only hoped that the food would last until it was ripe.
Once the problem of food is solved, it is the problem of soldiers.
Li Tan pondered for a while and said: "The announcement was made widely, saying that King Ning recruited rebels to resist the rebels. I hope that people of insight can fight against the security together."
This was the inspiration Yan Zhenqing gave him. Yan Zhenqing and the others once recruited 20 soldiers, and they actually lost contact with the court at that time, so these were all decided by themselves.
Of course, the 20 soldiers were not decided by Yan Zhenqing alone, they had an alliance.
It's just that this alliance is probably gone now, otherwise how could it be possible to make An Lushan so smooth?
Now that Yan Zhenqing's rebel army is gone, he should form a rebel army.
Of course, although it is said to be a rebel army, it must follow the organizational system of a regular army, which is equivalent to an expansion of the army.
Gongsun Chui didn't object either, since they really don't have many soldiers now, it would be best if they could recruit them.
Li Tan sighed and said, "Hey, it's a pity that I have too few generals who are good at fighting."
Fighting against An Lushan is not fighting against the Tubo and Turkic invaders. At that time, he could lead the army alone, but now An Lushan claims to have an army of 15, even if it is discounted, there will be [-]. He cannot support it alone. of.
It seems that it is time to bring Tian Shengong over. The stage where Tian Shengong shines is the Anshi Rebellion, just right.
Li Tan arranged everything to a certain extent and waited for Gongsun Chui to leave, then looked at the window and murmured: "I still have to inform Yin Xing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone say outside the window: "I just thought of notifying me?"
Li Tan's eyes widened immediately, watching Zhu Xieli come in from the window.
Zhu Xieli came over and pinched his chin, kissed him and said, "I think you want to forget me, say, how should I punish you?"
Li Tan blinked his eyes, and finally confirmed that Zhu Xieli was really here. He couldn't help but look at the window and then at him: "You are... more and more bold."
Although I used to open the window before, but at least I came at night, but now I come here during the day, and I am not afraid of being seen.
Zhu Xieli said with a smile: "The capital of Xinzhou is under your control, so why should I be afraid?"
After hearing this, Li Tan was immediately proud, stretched out his arms and hugged his waist and said with a smile: "It's true, well, next time you don't have to feel wronged and open the window, just walk through the door, anyway, there is no place inside the state capital." Nobody knows you."
Zhu Xieli felt a little itchy when he hugged him, but he restrained himself, sat down and pulled Li Tan onto his lap and said, "Are you going to fight?"
Li Tan nodded: "That's right, if I endure it any longer, I'm afraid I will suffer internal injuries, so I don't want to worry about it."
Zhu Xieli didn't ask him why he changed the order day and night, and said, "In that case, I'll help you."
Li Tan was a little surprised: "Are you not going back to Datang?"
Zhu Xieli reached out and tapped the tip of his nose and said, "I'm not for Datang, only for you."
Of course, if Datang wanted to win him over, it would be even better if he was willing to send Li Tan to marry him.
The method of marriage is also simple, let Li Tan be the governor of Liangzhou all the time, this place is not that important anyway.
However, Zhu Xieli didn't dare to say this idea, he was afraid of being beaten out by Li Tan.
Li Tan was so moved after hearing this, he stretched out his arms and kissed him on the neck and said, "I know you are doing it for me, but don't force it, the Shatuo people need to recuperate now, and you need to take care of them, it's okay, I can do it .”
Zhu Xieli shook his head, he knew that Li Tan had never failed in a war, but there is no general victorious in this world.
What he was worried about was that if Li Tan continued to win like this, if he lost one day, what would happen if he lost too badly?
If he is there, he can always remind him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xieli said: "I don't take anyone with me, just serve as a captain under your command."
It was only then that Li Tan realized that Zhu Xieli had really separated his personal relationship from the nation. He led troops to fight for Li Tan, but he would not involve his own tribe in the war.
But he still shook his head and said: "You have been away for a long time, Suma City..."
Zhu Xieli knew what he was worried about as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you afraid of? Do you not trust me so much?"
Li Tan resolutely shut up, it's better not to discuss this kind of thing, after all, he doesn't know what happened in Suma City now.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhu Xieli stretched out his fingers to trace his lips and said, "How about this, let's put on a play."
Li Tan was a little itchy from his finger, couldn't help but opened his mouth to bite, and asked vaguely, "What play?"
Zhu Xieli felt the warmth and pain in his fingertips, took a short breath, then quickly pulled out his fingers, pretending to be okay and said: "I pretended to be a foreigner to rob Lanzhou, you just wait for the governor of Lanzhou to ask you for help. "
Seeing Zhu Xieli's drooping eyes, Li Tan couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, leaned into his ear and said, "If you want to continue pretending, you have to put me down first."
The facial expressions can be covered up, but the changes in the body cannot be covered up, but Zhu Xieli can also, and can still discuss things in a serious manner.
Zhu Xieli glared at him angrily, and as expected he let him go.
Always settle the business first before talking about anything else.
Li Tan also adjusted his expression, as if he wasn't the one who made trouble just now, and said, "This is a good method, but the other two states are far away from the border, so I'm afraid we can't use this method."
Zhu Xieli took several deep breaths, finally suppressed the impulse, and said, "Isn't that hard to say? It's also okay to pretend to be a rebel."
After listening to Li Tan
Li Tan hugged Concubine Yang who was rushing over, and her head was blown out. It took him a long time to find his own train of thought and asked, "Why are you here, Mother? Where's Dad?"
Concubine Yang's crying didn't delay her from speaking, and she articulated very clearly: "After I left the city, I separated from your father, and I had no choice but to bring someone to find you."
Li Tan: I believe you are a ghost!
Not to mention that she and Li Longji must be the best group that will be protected, even if they are really separated, is it easier to find Li Longji, or is it easier to travel thousands of miles to Liangzhou?
Li Tan swallowed the words he wanted to expose, and said, "Okay, it's safe now, you can go to freshen up and have a rest first, do you have anything to say after you settle down?"
Of course, what Concubine Yang is most afraid of is that Li Tan will not accept her. If that is the case, she will have traveled so many miles in vain.
She wiped her tears, and said softly, "The people I brought settle down too. Oh, there are more than a dozen sinners, and you can deal with them as you like."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Sinner? What sinner?"
Bringing sinners from thousands of miles, this road is not easy to walk, how much hatred is this?
"Well, I happened to meet some unfilial children on the way here. I saw that the things they were holding looked familiar. After questioning them, I heard that these little bastards actually... actually... burned down the academy! 31 Lang, I am sorry I can't stand you, beep..."
After hearing this, Li Tan retracted his previous thoughts. This hatred... is really big.
But... only a dozen people?
Concubine Yang Gui carefully observed his expression, and found that Li Tan's expression became very cold in an instant, and she knew that he must know the news.
Wiping her tears, she said, "I've executed those bastards on the spot, and they are the masterminds left. Bring them back to you, and do whatever you want, 31 Lang...you say something... ..."
Li Tan rubbed his temples, although he hated those people so much and wished to cut them into pieces, he still wanted to appease Concubine Yang Gui at this time.
After all, Concubine Yang was able to bring them here without letting them escape, which is really not easy.
Li Tan said in a warm voice: "Okay, I've already heard about this matter, Madam, let's go to rest first. Come here, take Madam to freshen up and rest."
Qing Kong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lady, please follow me."
Concubine Yang took the maid and walked away step by step, turning her head three times. As soon as she left, Li Tan's face darkened, and he said, "Come here, arrest those insane murderers outside!"
The guard immediately took the order and left.
Li Tan stood there and thought for a while, but was still going to meet Concubine Yang Gui.
The two of them needed to talk alone, he wanted to know what Concubine Yang was thinking.
Although he was puzzled, Li Tan was still prepared to wait.
At least wait until Concubine Yang Guifei washes up and eats, preferably after taking a nap.
Taking this opportunity, he first asked the messenger, "Why did you come back alone? What about them?"
Because Li Tan was in a hurry to send troops to send letters to the three states, he simply sent three messengers there, which would save time.
The messenger said tremblingly, "The other two are still trying to lobby the Governor of the Three States."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Lobbying?"
The messenger also wiped away his tears and said: "We have failed His Highness's entrustment, and they...they refuse to borrow."
Li Tan felt that he should be angry, but he didn't know if it was because too many things had happened recently. He was actually very calm now, and he just asked, "Why didn't you make an excuse?"
The messenger said: "They said that there is no imperial decree, and your deployment of troops is against the law..."
Li Tan sneered shortly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I see, I don't blame you for this matter, you find a way to send a letter to the other two and let them come back, no matter how much they lobby, I am afraid these three people won't agree."
The messenger was stunned for a moment, and originally wanted to say that it might not be impossible to work hard, after all, the situation is critical now, and the governor of the three states may not have heard the news.
However, he took a look at Li Tan's expression, saluted wisely and withdrew.
After he withdrew, Li Tan also ordered Wang Wei to prepare something to reward the messenger this time.
After the messenger left, Li Tan asked someone to call Gongsun Chui over, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Chui came over, and everyone else came too.
Li Tan looked at the gossip on the faces of a group of people and said helplessly: "Okay, I just sent someone to run errands to save money. If you have any questions, ask them first, and then we will get down to business."
Everyone smiled awkwardly, shouldn't they talk about business first and then gossip?
However, they were more open-minded with Li Tan, especially Li Bai, who asked directly: "It was very lively in front of the palace just now, who is here?"
Li Tan said, "The lady is here."
lady?
Everyone was very surprised. Concubine Yang Guifei was the only one who could be called a lady by Li Tan.
But...how did she come here?She came to the saint?
Seeing the thirst for knowledge on everyone's faces, Li Tan had no choice but to narrate the matter and said: "Don't ask me how they got separated and why they came to me. I also want to know, but the lady came from a long way. Alright, let her go to rest first, and wait for her to recover her spirits before we talk about anything else."
Everyone is here, so they can't be sent back, right?
After he said that, everyone had no choice but to suppress their doubts, but everyone knew that things were definitely not as simple as Yang Guifei said.
Li Tan saw that they didn't ask any more questions, so he added: "The lady came here and escorted the thieves who burned the academy together. I have already ordered people to suppress them. Let's discuss how to punish them."
Speaking of the thief who set fire to the academy, everyone was a little excited.
Even Wang Wei, who is so elegant and elegant, is gnashing his teeth with hatred now: "How can we discuss this? I wish I could cut them into pieces!"
Li Tan said calmly: "Coincidentally, I thought the same way, and I wanted to ask, if I sentenced them to Ling Chi, wouldn't you think I was too much?"
Of course not too much.
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Gongsun Chui, who was still able to maintain his rationality, struggled to say: "But if this is the case...the lady..."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Since my lady handed them over to me, she doesn't treat them as the Yang family."
Li Tan knew in his heart that this was actually the nomination certificate handed in by Concubine Yang Gui.
After all, the situation between the two of them is somewhat reversed now. If Li Tan doesn't want to take in Concubine Yang, or has other ideas, Concubine Yang has nothing to do.
After she was reborn, did she do something wrong, so she still has to rely on others now.
The only most correct decision to make is probably to abandon everything and come to talk to Li.
After everyone listened to Li Tan's words, they stopped discussing the fate of those people.
Everyone knew that even Ling Chi couldn't understand the hatred in their hearts, but they couldn't be immersed in hatred, especially they couldn't let Li Tan be immersed in hatred.
After all, he is still young.
After the gossip, Li Tan said with a serious expression: "I came here mainly to discuss with you, and the governors of Lanzhou, Yuanzhou, and Ningzhou refused to excuse me."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then Gongsun Chui's face changed drastically: "They...are they going to watch the fire from the other side?"
Originally, Du Fu and others were still thinking about what the governors of these states were trying to do, but after Gongsun Chui said this, they suddenly realized.
Wang Wei sneered and said, "I'm afraid you want to be self-reliant?"
Li Tan coughed lightly: "They may not dare to stand on their own. What Gongsun said hit the nail on the head. They are planning to watch the fire from the other side. Whether they fight or surrender depends on the situation."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at Wang Wei, feeling a little worried, thinking that he should let Wang Wei go to the academy to teach for a period of time first, to calm down his mind before talking?
At the same time, he hated those people even more in his heart. What kind of appearance Wang Wei, a refined gentleman, was made by them, this kind of spiritual trauma is the most difficult to mend.
Li Bai didn't know that Li Tan still had the time to care about Wang Wei's state of mind. At this time, he could be said to be furious, and said angrily, "These people are deeply favored by the emperor, and the imperial court treats them well, yet they are so ungrateful!"
All of a sudden, the lobby was full of crusades against the governors of the three states.
Li Tan suddenly said: "This is also the court's loss of popular support."
Li Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent.
They are all loyal ministers, but let them evaluate what the court has done this time, and they must say that the court is too disappointing.
Du Fu tentatively asked: "Then... what does Your Majesty plan to do?"
Li Tan said: "What I mean is...send a messenger to inform them again. If they still don't agree, then I will have a good talk with them."
Wang Wei immediately asked, "How?"
Li Tan said calmly: "Of course I used soldiers to talk to them."
This means that if the governor of Sanzhou disagrees, he will be beaten by Li Tan.
Du Fu immediately said: "It's not right." After saying this, he said two more words: "Not right, not right, the imperial court has already... how can we go against the law like this?"
Li Tan asked back: "Then leave Chang'an alone?"
The imperial court has run away, so they definitely don't intend to guard Chang'an anymore. Even if they regain it in the future, the people of Chang'an will have undergone a round of trials.
Du Fu was at a loss for words, and the others didn't know what to say.
Li Tan said frankly: "I know what you are worried about, but now is not the time to invite names. I would rather give up this reputation than keep Anlu Mountain from Yanxi Gate."
Everyone saw his firm gaze, and after looking at each other, they reached a consensus in an instant: Let He Lao educate him!
Although this meeting is said to be a discussion, Li Tan actually informed everyone that I am going to make a move, so you should be mentally prepared.
After the meeting was over, everyone left the palace and turned to the left unanimously, and went to He Zhizhang's house.
Li Tan, on the other hand, went to the study room, and began to think about how not to scare the people of the three states.
And the most important point is that if he fights in the past, he will definitely win, so what will happen to the governors of the three states?
He will definitely not let these people continue to be governors, but who is suitable to be governors here?
At this time, Li Tan suddenly realized that few of the people around him had experience in local government.
This is too much of a headache, and there are few people on his side, and three more are assigned to be the governor... Isn't this a joke?
Just when he felt a little pain in his head, he saw Wang Wei coming in a hurry, saluted Li Tan and said, "Your Majesty, there are other people accompanying you with your lady."
"Huh?" Li Tan was a little surprised: "Who?"
"He claims to be surnamed Yan, named Zhenqing, and styled Qingchen."
Li Tan almost jumped up on the spot.
Damn it, Yan Zhenqing!
Seeing Li Tan's excited expression instantly, Wang Wei couldn't help being a little surprised, what's wrong?
Li Tan suppressed his excitement: "He came alone?"
Wang Wei shook his head: "He brought his family along."
"Are you settled?"
Wang Wei said: "I am going to ask the king for instructions, where are you going to put this family?"
Now that they are in the new city, there must be houses, the problem is how to arrange them.
For example, the core figures of the state capital are generally arranged in Weiyangfang, while local tycoons like Yin Zizhe who stand on Li Tan's side are assigned to Qunxianfang, and ordinary officials of the state capital are assigned to Xuanzhengfang. .
The remaining areas, such as rich areas, civilian areas and poor areas, are clearly distinguished.
The people brought by Concubine Yang must not be assigned to other places, but there is a saying whether they live in Weiyangfang or Xuanzhengfang.
Li Tan said decisively: "Get them a yard in Weiyangfang, well, let's arrange them in the palace for the time being."
As Li Tan talked, he rejoiced that when the palace was built, it was not built rigidly according to the real palace.
Otherwise, it is not very easy to arrange this family, after all, the normal palace is only divided into front and back.
Yan Zhenqing brought his family here, it's not a problem for Li Tan to arrange their family in the backyard, and the front yard of the palace usually has few places for people to live.
Fortunately, there is the Prince Ning's Mansion today.
Wang Wei was surprised, he didn't expect this Yan Zhenqing to be able to get a house in Weiyangfang, and he began to think about who this person was.
But before he left, Li Tan suddenly asked: "I remember you have an elder brother named Wang Jin, where are you now?"
Wang Wei said: "Erlang is now the Shaoyin of Taiyuan."
Li Tan thought about it, Wang Jin would still assist Li Guangbi in the future, and he couldn't help feeling very regretful, if he could fool Wang Jin over here, why would he worry about it?
But it's fine now, he nodded and said: "Well, you go to settle down Yan Zhenqing's family first, and I'll see them after they have a rest."
Anyway, he is not the emperor, and there is no reason for people to drag his tired body to come to court. It just so happens that he still needs to talk to Concubine Yang—how did he bring so many people here?
As a result, he did not expect Concubine Yang Guifei to sleep until the next day.
When Li Tan went to see her, Concubine Yang Guifei was very absent-minded and said, "I was very worried along the way, for fear of encountering rebels or other green forest thieves, and I slept peacefully."
Li Tan saw that Concubine Yang was dressed as an alluring beauty, and couldn't help laughing: "I dare not say it in other places, but Liangzhou is still safe."
Concubine Yang also said with a smile: "When I came here, I saw this city gate and knew that Liangzhou must be safe and sound."
Li Tan asked directly: "I'm not going around in circles with you anymore, why did you come here by yourself?"
Concubine Yang Gui said very bluntly: "If you don't run over, are you waiting to be given to death in Mawei Post?"
Li Tan hesitated for a moment and said, "You are different now. Everyone knows that you are a concubine Xian, so you may not repeat the same mistakes."
Concubine Yang shook her head: "This is a gamble with my life. I can't afford to gamble. What's the use of me being good? My surname is Yang, and Azhao is also surnamed Yang. Azhao has been reused because of me. Isn't that enough?"
Li Tan didn't continue to dwell on this topic any longer, it was already here anyway.
"How did you get out?"
Concubine Yang Gui said: "I'm in a hurry on the road, it's too easy to leave."
Li Tan asked, "Did you bring anyone with you?"
Concubine Yang shook her head: "I only brought Aying, a maid."
Li Tan was taken aback: "You are too courageous, the two girls are on the road, and it is still so uneasy now..."
Especially Concubine Yang has such a beautiful appearance, even if she is dressed in ordinary clothes, she can't hide her appearance and temperament. Aying beside her is more beautiful than ordinary women.
Concubine Yang smiled wryly: "How could I not know the danger? But it's better than losing my life."
Li Tan shook his head, thinking that you are lucky, otherwise... I'm afraid you will feel that life is worse than death.
But since Concubine Yang arrived safely, he didn't continue to ask, but only asked: "Since there are only you and Aying, how can those suspects be willing to go with you?"
Yang Guifei said calmly: "I lied to them. I said I would come to find you. If you escort me there, you will definitely treat them well."
Li Tan looked in disbelief: "They really believed it? They burned down my academy!"
Concubine Yang Gui was also very angry: "These people are not worthy of being the Yang family's children, and they really think that those students want to seize the treasure that belongs to you, and they are doing you a favor by snatching the treasure back!"
Li Tan said expressionlessly: "If those students can come back alive, let alone those treasures, even if I have to give up all my wealth, I will not hesitate."
Concubine Yang raised her hand to touch his head, and said distressedly: "Aniang knows, Aniang knows, so they leave it to you to dispose of them as you like, and I won't say much."
Li Tan sighed and said, "So they really escorted you here."
Concubine Yang nods her head. To be honest, she doesn't really understand what these people are thinking. It's just that maybe they regard the money as extremely important, so they think that others also regard money as very important.
Li Tan asked again: "Then what happened to Yan Zhenqing?"
Concubine Yang said: "I met him on the road. He was originally in Dingyou, Luoyang. When Luoyang fell, he refused to surrender and fled with his family to Chang'an. I didn't expect..."
Li Tan asked, "Didn't he go to the imperial court?"
A loyal minister like Yan Zhenqing, under the circumstances at that time, should either stay in Chang'an to resist Anlu Mountain, or follow in the footsteps of the imperial court.
Concubine Yang said: "He really wanted to go to the court at the beginning, but I told him that the current court has lost its spirit and even lost Chang'an, so how can it really resist Anlu Mountain with all its strength? It's better to come and find you .”
Li Tan: ...
"But for me... why don't you go and find his cousin?"
Concubine Yang was at a loss: "Who is his cousin?"
"Yan Gaoqing used to be An Lushan's subordinate. After Anlushan's rebellion, Yan Gaoqing refused to join forces. At this time, she should be recruiting righteous men to resist Anlushan together."
Concubine Yang half-understood and said: "That's it, but if An Lushan's subordinates are too far away, how can Yan Zhenqing get there? He has no guide."
When she said this, Li Tan realized that something was wrong - Concubine Yang ran away as soon as she said she wanted to, but she was able to get here smoothly, which meant that she had a way to guide her.
In other words, she was already ready to escape.
Li Tan didn't continue to ask. After all, Yan Zhenqing had come, and he also wanted to understand why An Lushan was able to rush over like a broken bamboo despite having less than ten years of development time. It must be because many people did not form a strong resistance.
During the Anlu Mountain uprising in history, many people spontaneously resisted Anlu Mountain, and the brothers Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing were the best among them.
But now when the An Lushan incident happened, Yan Zhenqing was still in Ding You, not only his trajectory has changed, but the trajectory of many people may have changed as well.
Seeing Li Tan pondering, Concubine Yang asked, "Are you trying to save Chang'an?"
Li Tan was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
Concubine Yang smiled faintly: "I don't know you yet? By the way, how is Zhu Xieli doing now?"
Li Tan was not afraid that Concubine Yang would reveal the secret, so he directly told about Zhu Xieli's recent situation.
Concubine Yang didn't think that Li Tan was audacious like the others. As a person who had been reborn, she realized now that if she wasn't a little bit more courageous, she wouldn't be able to escape from this prison.
She didn't think Li Tan did anything wrong, after all, if Datang lost their mother and son's place, at least Zhu Xieli would take them in.
Of course, it depends on the relationship between Li Tan and Zhu Xieli.
Concubine Yang does not believe in such things as feelings, so she thinks the best way is to use benefits. Now Li Tan is doing well, and Suma City must rely on them.
But she felt that with Zhu Xieli's ability, sooner or later she would not need to rely on Liangzhou, so she had to make the relationship between them even closer.
Concubine Yang Gui felt that she had no other skills, but this kind of thing could still be done, not to mention that Zhu Xieli's mother was also there, and she had a good relationship with that princess before, so she should be able to talk.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yang said to Li Tan: "When will I meet Sha Tuokedun again? It's been a long time since I haven't seen her, and I still look a little like her."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Yin Xing later, by the way, Princess Yuan'an is also here."
Concubine Yang Gui was a little surprised: "Why is she here?"
Li Tan explained it, and Concubine Yang Gui couldn't help but look forward to it after hearing this: "If I could be like her back then..."
Li Tan glanced at her and said, if it's a normal plot, you are better than her... so what?
Li Tan also couldn't think of an adjective. Princess Yuan'an's actions were all based on the good of Datang, so even if she went too far, Li Tan could understand.
However, in the original description of this book, Concubine Yang gave up the state of her parents completely for the sake of love and love, which he absolutely disagrees with.
Even if Zhu Xieli wanted to rebel now and came to tell Li Tan that it was for them to be together, Li Tan would immediately turn his back on him.
Two people can be together, it must be because of the same three views, and if there is a disagreement in this regard, then the three views must also have differences, and it is just a delay in breaking up after a while.
Li Tan asked: "When you decided to leave Chang'an, what happened? Didn't you persuade me? Didn't daddy transfer me back?"
Concubine Yang came back to her senses and said angrily: "Do you think I didn't tell you? How is it possible? I emphasized that transferring you back would definitely be able to defend against Anlu Mountain, but the sage didn't believe it. Hey, Ge Shuhan's disastrous defeat has already frightened you." I have broken his courage, even if I said that even if you are not allowed to go back to fight, it is good to let you escort, but he can't wait, afraid that An Lushan will already call when you go back."
Li Tan: ...
He originally thought that Li Longji didn't let him go because he was afraid that the Turks and Tubo would take the opportunity to attack him, but it turned out that he was the one who was thinking the most.
He sighed and said: "If I were in Chang'an, I would definitely... Forget it, it's useless to say this now, Chang'an hasn't fallen yet, I still have a chance."
Concubine Yang was silent for a while before she said: "Don't force it, Chang'an... hey, Chang'an..."
Thinking of Chang'an, and thinking of Luoyang, Li Tan felt a little heavy.
He left after talking with Concubine Yang for a while. Before leaving, he said: "Xinzhou Prefecture is not too prosperous now, but if you are bored, please go out for a stroll. I have to discuss with others how to clean up the place." Governor of the Three States."
Concubine Yang Gui was full of confidence in him, she didn't feel that Li Tan was talking big, she waved at him with a smile and said, "Go, don't worry about me."
After Li Tan finished speaking, he left the backyard, and was going to go to Gongsun Chui to check the grain and grass. After all, most of the previous wars were at the door of the house, and the requirements for the transportation of grain and grass were not very strict.
This time, the longest trip may be to Chang'an, with a distance of more than 700 kilometers. This length must be well planned.
Wang Wei, the transfer envoy, may really be about to take up his post.
When Li Tan was thinking about this, he saw He Zhizhang walking slowly towards him.
Seeing He Zhizhang's slow pace, Li Tan couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.
Before the academy accident, although He Zhizhang was not young, he was energetic and walked vigorously. He didn't look like an old man of his age at all.
After the accident, although Li Tan was treated in a timely manner, He Zhizhang still seemed to be ten years old suddenly, and he looked a little old.
The only hope now is that He Zhizhang can recover after the Pearl Academy is built.
While thinking about this, Li Tan adjusted his mood and walked over to ask, "Why is Mr. He here? If there is anything to do, just send someone to call me. It's the same when I go to your place."
He Zhizhang shook his head with a smile and said: "How can we do that? The world is in chaos today. Although it is not at the point where rituals and music collapse, it is not much better. We in Liangzhou should set an example for the world."
Li Tan shook his head: "This is not how the world sets an example. What's more, although I don't have the name of a master and apprentice besides you, I have the reality of a master and apprentice. Even if I respect my teacher as a prince, what am I?"
He Zhizhang frowned, and asked, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to use force to talk to those three states?"
Li Tan: ...
This summary is really incisive, who told He Zhizhang?
While thinking secretly, he said with a smile: "How can it be? Of course I want to understand it with emotion and reason. Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with the governor of the three states. If you wait for the transfer order... I'm afraid you won't be able to wait."
He Zhizhang said: "Okay, don't try to lie to me, I'm not so unreasonable, but after all, you are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, you have to be measured, you don't care about your own reputation, you also care about other people's lives, otherwise wouldn't it be Is it the second Anlu Mountain?"
Li Tan said with a serious expression, "Don't worry Mr. He, I won't be impulsive."
He Zhizhang nodded, and left again with his hands behind his back.
Li Tan looked at him with some puzzlement, what on earth did he come here for?Just to remind him not to kill innocent people indiscriminately?
At this time, Li Bai and others who were waiting outside were discussing, wondering if He Zhizhang could persuade Li Tan.
After He Zhizhang came out, they went up to meet him and asked, "Old He?"
He Zhizhang waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty knows what he's doing, just cooperate with him."
"Ah?" Li Bai was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that He Zhizhang would definitely persuade Li Tan not to use troops easily.
Do you want to lose your reputation by mobilizing troops against your own family?
He Zhizhang said with his hands behind his back: "Life does something and doesn't do it. When you reach my age, you will know, don't be burdened by fame, and do what you think is right. You are indeed thinking about him, but why don't you think about it?" Think, if he doesn't do this, what will happen to the people in Chang'an? What will happen to the people in Luoyang?"
Everyone bowed their heads in shame, and He Zhizhang said again: "I think he understands better than you."
This is also the reason why He Zhizhang didn't persuade him. In fact, what really moved him was Li Tan's statement that he didn't care about his own reputation.
This is the true feeling of worrying about the country and the people.
If the academy incident hadn't happened, He Zhizhang might have objected, but after this incident, he couldn't help thinking, if even his own people could be so cruel, how would An Lushan treat the people?How to deal with those officials who refuse to surrender?
Thinking about it this way, there is no reason to stop Li Tan.
Li Tan got the approval of He Zhizhang, and he made more fanfare. He directly found Gongsun Chui. When Gongsun Chui came over, he had a headache and said, "My lord, I'm afraid there is not enough food and grass."
After all, Liangzhou had always been a poor household before, relying on relief from the imperial court, and it still needed food relief last year.
Even if there is a water source now, it will take a year and a half to slow down, and in order to defend the Turks, the border towns are heavily guarded, which is equivalent to fewer people farming and increased consumption.
Li Tan paused and said, "Go buy it, no matter where you buy it from, no matter how much you spend, you must ensure the supply of military rations."
Gongsun Chui did not object, he knew that Li Tan was rich, very rich, but he was not sure how long he could supply the army, he only hoped that the food would last until it was ripe.
Once the problem of food is solved, it is the problem of soldiers.
Li Tan pondered for a while and said: "The announcement was made widely, saying that King Ning recruited rebels to resist the rebels. I hope that people of insight can fight against the security together."
This was the inspiration Yan Zhenqing gave him. Yan Zhenqing and the others once recruited 20 soldiers, and they actually lost contact with the court at that time, so these were all decided by themselves.
Of course, the 20 soldiers were not decided by Yan Zhenqing alone, they had an alliance.
It's just that this alliance is probably gone now, otherwise how could it be possible to make An Lushan so smooth?
Now that Yan Zhenqing's rebel army is gone, he should form a rebel army.
Of course, although it is said to be a rebel army, it must follow the organizational system of a regular army, which is equivalent to an expansion of the army.
Gongsun Chui didn't object either, since they really don't have many soldiers now, it would be best if they could recruit them.
Li Tan sighed and said, "Hey, it's a pity that I have too few generals who are good at fighting."
Fighting against An Lushan is not fighting against the Tubo and Turkic invaders. At that time, he could lead the army alone, but now An Lushan claims to have an army of 15, even if it is discounted, there will be [-]. He cannot support it alone. of.
It seems that it is time to bring Tian Shengong over. The stage where Tian Shengong shines is the Anshi Rebellion, just right.
Li Tan arranged everything to a certain extent and waited for Gongsun Chui to leave, then looked at the window and murmured: "I still have to inform Yin Xing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone say outside the window: "I just thought of notifying me?"
Li Tan's eyes widened immediately, watching Zhu Xieli come in from the window.
Zhu Xieli came over and pinched his chin, kissed him and said, "I think you want to forget me, say, how should I punish you?"
Li Tan blinked his eyes, and finally confirmed that Zhu Xieli was really here. He couldn't help but look at the window and then at him: "You are... more and more bold."
Although I used to open the window before, but at least I came at night, but now I come here during the day, and I am not afraid of being seen.
Zhu Xieli said with a smile: "The capital of Xinzhou is under your control, so why should I be afraid?"
After hearing this, Li Tan was immediately proud, stretched out his arms and hugged his waist and said with a smile: "It's true, well, next time you don't have to feel wronged and open the window, just walk through the door, anyway, there is no place inside the state capital." Nobody knows you."
Zhu Xieli felt a little itchy when he hugged him, but he restrained himself, sat down and pulled Li Tan onto his lap and said, "Are you going to fight?"
Li Tan nodded: "That's right, if I endure it any longer, I'm afraid I will suffer internal injuries, so I don't want to worry about it."
Zhu Xieli didn't ask him why he changed the order day and night, and said, "In that case, I'll help you."
Li Tan was a little surprised: "Are you not going back to Datang?"
Zhu Xieli reached out and tapped the tip of his nose and said, "I'm not for Datang, only for you."
Of course, if Datang wanted to win him over, it would be even better if he was willing to send Li Tan to marry him.
The method of marriage is also simple, let Li Tan be the governor of Liangzhou all the time, this place is not that important anyway.
However, Zhu Xieli didn't dare to say this idea, he was afraid of being beaten out by Li Tan.
Li Tan was so moved after hearing this, he stretched out his arms and kissed him on the neck and said, "I know you are doing it for me, but don't force it, the Shatuo people need to recuperate now, and you need to take care of them, it's okay, I can do it .”
Zhu Xieli shook his head, he knew that Li Tan had never failed in a war, but there is no general victorious in this world.
What he was worried about was that if Li Tan continued to win like this, if he lost one day, what would happen if he lost too badly?
If he is there, he can always remind him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xieli said: "I don't take anyone with me, just serve as a captain under your command."
It was only then that Li Tan realized that Zhu Xieli had really separated his personal relationship from the nation. He led troops to fight for Li Tan, but he would not involve his own tribe in the war.
But he still shook his head and said: "You have been away for a long time, Suma City..."
Zhu Xieli knew what he was worried about as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you afraid of? Do you not trust me so much?"
Li Tan resolutely shut up, it's better not to discuss this kind of thing, after all, he doesn't know what happened in Suma City now.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhu Xieli stretched out his fingers to trace his lips and said, "How about this, let's put on a play."
Li Tan was a little itchy from his finger, couldn't help but opened his mouth to bite, and asked vaguely, "What play?"
Zhu Xieli felt the warmth and pain in his fingertips, took a short breath, then quickly pulled out his fingers, pretending to be okay and said: "I pretended to be a foreigner to rob Lanzhou, you just wait for the governor of Lanzhou to ask you for help. "
Seeing Zhu Xieli's drooping eyes, Li Tan couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, leaned into his ear and said, "If you want to continue pretending, you have to put me down first."
The facial expressions can be covered up, but the changes in the body cannot be covered up, but Zhu Xieli can also, and can still discuss things in a serious manner.
Zhu Xieli glared at him angrily, and as expected he let him go.
Always settle the business first before talking about anything else.
Li Tan also adjusted his expression, as if he wasn't the one who made trouble just now, and said, "This is a good method, but the other two states are far away from the border, so I'm afraid we can't use this method."
Zhu Xieli took several deep breaths, finally suppressed the impulse, and said, "Isn't that hard to say? It's also okay to pretend to be a rebel."
