Chapter 794 Corrupt dignitaries, after all, people can change
"...Send the order, the three armies change directions, and return to Yan'an Prefecture. Then Ganzhou... it is not suitable to go now..."
After hearing Li Cunzhang's order, it also caused an uproar in the military academy around him. One of the generals was also angry and said:
"Ji Zheng, the Wei people first went to Liangzhou, then seized Ganzhou, and the Guiyi army in charge of Gua and Sha prefectures, and even the Long family in Suzhou, were willing to join the Southern Dynasty... How could our army sit down and watch the Wei people control most of the territory of Hexi? Even if the Uighurs in Ganzhou surrender, they can wait for our army to kill, and the Uighurs in various tribes...will they rebel against the Southern Dynasty again?"
Li Cunzhang shook his head and sighed:
"The Uighurs in Ganzhou must have not easily allowed the Wei people to annex the territory. But since they surrendered, it means that the resistance is gone. What's more, since Yao Luo Ge Renmei has already surrendered, the Wei people have turned around and can concentrate on fighting with our army...
If our army is cut off from the rear and is tightly restrained by several enemy troops... At that time, the Southern Dynasties will send a group of troops from Tongguan and Chang'an to attack Yan'an Prefecture, what if it does? The battle situation changes rapidly and you must adapt to it. Since the Ganzhou Uighurs have joined the Southern Dynasties... In terms of our Fuyan Army's situation, it is really not appropriate to concentrate our military strength, and then trapped in Hexi, giving the Wei people an opportunity to take advantage of it."
After Li Cunzhang's words, although the generals and assistants around him were unwilling to sit back and watch the Wei Dynasty expand their territory, they had to admit that the current situation was indeed the case. However, some people were inevitably resentful. After the death of Li Sijian, the governor of the Nanjun, the rebel general Gaozong Yi led his troops to mutiny and attacked Li Yichang, who succeeded as the governor.
Since the Dingnan Army was an affiliated force supporting the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunzhang of course had to send troops to help quell the rebellion immediately. Otherwise, if Emperor Gaozong Yi had completely controlled the vassal states, he would be very likely to follow the traitor Li Jitao of Zhaoyi Army and change his flag and declare that he was willing to surrender to the Wei Dynasty.
After all, matters were prioritized, Li Cunzhang naturally had no choice but to send troops to destroy Gaozong Yi immediately, and then elect Li Renfu, Tuoba's army, to succeed as the governor of Dingnan Army. However, it was inevitable that a while later, the Wei Dynasty sent troops and quickly took Liangzhou and Ganzhou to take time out of Li Cunzhang's expectations...
Li Cunzhang was also very decisive and straightforward in the march. He realized that he had missed the opportunity to save the Ganzhou Uighurs, so he immediately turned his horse and led his commander to return home. However, when he was thinking on the horse's back, his brows frowned and his face looked very solemn.
Xiu said that it was impossible to win over the Uighurs in Ganzhou, and Wenmo of Liangzhou turned to his own camp and became enemies with the Wei Dynasty... Now the Emperor of Wei has merged in Hexi, and the Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army Dingnan Army may not have been willing to surrender the power of the Dingnan Army Dingnan Army. Dingnan Army may not have been willing to surrender the rear Tang Dynasty. Then, if you can't win over your helpers, you will have to worry about the fire in the backyard in the future...
But even though he was worried, Li Cunzhang's eyes were burning, and there seemed to be two balls of flames burning in his eyes.
Originally, Li Tianqu learned that Li Cunzhang no longer took charge of the center of the Later Tang court in Taiyuan, but was appointed by Li Cunxu to Yan'an Prefecture and was appointed as the newly established Fuyan Army Jiedu in northern Shaanxi. He realized that the appointment of dispatches in the Later Tang Dynasty could definitely be said to be a good use of people. Liu Xiu and other vassal states in Hexi, Gansu and Shaanxi were determined not to be careless if they wanted to fight against Li Cunzhang, the enemy.
Because Li Cunzhang was not only able to lead troops to fight, but also good at governing civil and military talents from one side and managing other northern ethnic groups, which was also an expert in his family. Originally, Li Ke from Hedong was born as a Shatuo people, and the army was mixed with various tribes. He led troops in a broad way. Later, the expansion of the army and recruited border ethnic groups was often difficult to restrain. According to historical records, "many people from foreign countries interfered with the market and robbed them, and the court could not ban them."...
Li Cunzhang was given the governance of the party, and he used both kindness and power, suppressed the strong and supported the weak, strictly enforced laws and regulations, and governed the northern ethnic groups in a submissive manner. This time he came out of the mountains to control the vassal states again, and Li Cunxu also obviously wanted his brother, his righteous brother, to appease the Dangxiang of the Dangxiang of the army, wait for an opportunity to incite the Uighurs in Hexi, and to confront the Wei Dynasty, and then recruit other nomadic tribes in the northern part of the Mo to target the Wei army in Chang'an.
Now the Wei Dynasty succeeds again and is annexing the Hexi areas. Although Li Cunzhang was angry, he even aroused his determination to fight the Wei Dynasty to the end. He gritted his teeth and was thinking hard:
Since my adoptive father accepted me as Yi'er, my life was from the Li family in Hedong. For the country and the country captured by the previous emperor, and His Majesty's grand and hegemony... Even if my Tang Dynasty is not as powerful as the Wei Kingdom, I have worked hard, even if I take this life, I may not be unable to seize the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack to assist His Majesty in achieving his long-cherished wish to enter the Central Plains and achieve hegemony!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The Later Tang Dynasty Fuyan army mobilized a large number of troops to fight to Hexi, but halfway through the journey, he had to withdraw with regret and never confronted the Wei Dynasty's military again. As for how to arrange the arrangements for the Uighurs in Ganzhou and the military and civilian affairs of Liangzhou Wendu, Li Tianqu was relieved to let go completely and let Yan Kexu handle the full power.
Later, I heard some rumors that Liu Xiu, as the leader of the Wei army who conquered the Uighurs in Ganzhou, curled up with the Uighurs, Yanqi, Tubo and other powerful families, and promoted him to a beautiful concubine. He also heard that several girls who were extremely exotic and were not as old as they were, could have been accepted by Liu Xiu, and Li Tianqu just complained that a tree of pear blossoms over the crabapple, you old cow who eats tender grass...
The expansion of Hexi is still related to the battle situation of the full confrontation with the Later Tang Dynasty. Li Tianqu mainly paid close attention to the actions of Li Cunxu, the strong enemy. However, during this period, a memorial from the Heyang territory also made Li Tianqu look at the powerful civil officials who were originally planning to carry out a large-scale purge and rectify...
"Zhang Quanyi, who was transferred to Heyang as the Henan Yin, impeached Gongxian County Magistrate Luo Guan to corrupt and abuse the law, disregard the government affairs, and even insulted me with anger. He was ruthless and insulted me, and now he has been imprisoned. Now he has been imprisoned and imprisoned. Zhang Quanyi reported that Luo Guan's crimes are unforgivable and should be executed according to the law. Haha... This is probably not that Zhang Quanyi is observing, but the evil people complain first..."
In the imperial study room, Li Tianqu took the report submitted by the Henan Prompt Criminal Prison Office and wanted to punish local officials with a memorial that must be approved by the emperor himself, but said with a sneer.
In addition to Li Tianqu, Zhang Juhan, the eunuch leader in charge of the provincial eunuch, held the whisk in his hand and stood respectfully on the side. Li Tianqu turned his head and immediately asked Zhang Juhan:
"Zhang Quanyi not only made a false accusation of Luo Guan, but he was bound to kill him. I believe he should have secretly sent bribes to Wang Jinen to make some money, and intends to blind me by letting his close ministers approve this memorial that would kill Luo Guan, right?"
Zhang Juhan hurriedly nodded and said yes. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty is wise and has sent officials to visit the people's livelihoods in Heyang. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang was always diligent and wise in governing the political affairs of a region. But now he is lazy in governance and has also accepted bribes to make money. His Majesty can conclude that Zhang Quanyi is weaving evidence of crime, and falsely accusing Luo Guan of his death sentence. This is indeed a crime of concealing the superiors and deceiving the subordinates and deceiveing Shengcong... But after all, he made great contributions to the country in the past, and His Majesty has planned to issue an order to deal with Mr. Zhang strictly?"
Li Tianqu was silent when he heard this, and the cold expression between his eyebrows became a little stronger, and he said in a deep voice:
"At that time, I was only in charge of Yicheng's army, and at the beginning, Zhang Quanyi did do his duty to attract and appease refugees, open up land and manage farmers, and then grow stronger. He was a capable minister in politics. But people... will change. If he cares about Zhang Quanyi's past achievements, if he is content, even if he makes some mistakes, I will not be willing to argue with him.
But now that Zhang Quanyi is becoming more and more unrestrained, and he intends to bribe the close ministers of the inner court, intending to deceive me and falsely punish the lives of officials... How can I allow him to use his power to seek personal gain?"
