People are all in an unfavorable situation, and there is not much progress in fighting again, but they are all waiting for Tang gaozu’s decision with bated breath.
"Pei Qing, what do you think?" Tang gaozu pointed his hand at Pei Ji and named the etiquette to express his views.
Pei Ji put away his sleeves and bowed to Tang gaozu, saying, "I have suffered a heavy blow to the Zhao army this time, which shows that although I didn’t attack Luoyang, I have gained enough. I have achieved my goal and it is also a good decision to retreat for the future war!"
Pei Ji said that the generals around the camp didn’t say anything, but the bottom of my heart was in favor of it. Even Li Jiancheng didn’t object, but Li Yuanji opened his mouth and said nothing again.
Listen to pei ji said tang gaozu is afraid to say, "what is PeiQing hit? To put it bluntly, it’s not just that I asked for a retreat after seeing that the two armies in the north and south are already fighting hard."
Pei Ji hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Tang gaozu said, "This is a military discussion. I will talk to you heart to heart. Don’t be afraid. You can say whatever you want. I want to hear the truth and listen to what you say from the bottom of your heart."
Tang gaozu said that those who just remembered to whitewash this war with Pei Ji’s echo stopped talking.
The account fell into silence, and Tang gaozu’s eyes swept over the people and asked, "Didn’t the generals with full accounts speak out about one or two people?" Huai’ an Wang, what do you think? "
Li Shentong tang gaozu named in power, "return the favor I approved to fight again".
"How to fight? Forcing the Yellow River? "
"Of course, it’s not a one-step move. Li Yang attacked Li Yang City and seized Li Yang Cang. After having enough food, Zhao Jun fought for the front." Li Shentong replied.
"This is a bit insightful, but there are 50,000 Zhao troops riding around Liyang City. Our army sent troops from Heyang to attack Liyang. Don’t say that it is enough to pull the route of providing foodstuff for such a long time?" Tang gaozu asks.
"This …" Li Shentong was aphasia.
Li Yuan said, "Come back to me if you want to think clearly about Wang Jun’s national affairs."
"promise"
At this time, a general said, "There will be something to say at the end of the position."
Tang gaozu turned out to be Liu Hongji.
Tang gaozu said "easy to say"
Liu Hongji said, "I also believe that it is also a matter of exhaustion of morale to fight again. I agree with Pei Gong that withdrawing troops as early as possible is the only policy."
Tang gaozu nodded and said, "Although the opinions are the same, Liu Aiqing, the general in the hall, told the truth."
Liu Hongji blue way "positions I just have a look at our army withdrawing troops Zhao may be a massive counterattack, I guess Zhao step is either a river or Hedong Henan also please positions sent capable general garrison".
Pei Ji said, "General Liu’s words are wrong, but Zhao Jun will fight back, but it can’t be a big fight. Zhao Jun also suffered a lot. Our army’s commissary is exhausted, and Zhao Jun’s commissary is also consumed."
Liu Hongji objected, "That’s not the same as Zhao Jun’s saying that there is an endless supply of hand-made food in Luokoucang Liyang Cang."
"Even if there is no loss of soldiers’ food, the loss of soldiers’ staff is what Luokou Liyang two warehouses make up for." Pei Ji said, "I am in charge of the Ministry to have a clear judgment on Zhao’s national strength."
"According to years of spying and estimating the revenue and expenditure of Zhao’s national treasury, we have got a general understanding of Da Zhao’s annual revenue of nearly 200,000, mainly these pieces. First, the foreign trade in Huaihuang Yuyi Town is beyond the Great Wall, from which 10,000 pieces of silk are gained every year, and about 10,000 pieces of Silla sea trade are gained. It is estimated that 50,000 pieces of people’s debts are borrowed from the people every year, and 50,000 pieces are worth 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of national treasury after Goguryeo is levied this year.
Pei Ji said that the foot soldiers in Tang Jun all gasped. I didn’t expect that Zhao’s income in the two towns of Huai Huang Yu Yi was so high, and even after Li Tang occupied the rich Bashu, the annual national income was only more than 200,000.
Pei Ji said, "But Zhao spent more. When Li Chongjiu came to the throne, in addition to the Ding tax and the abolition of the people’s service tax, he changed his salary to do it for him. Last year, after Li Chongjiu captured Liu Heita, he won the hearts of the people, levied taxes on Liu Heita for three years in Hebei counties, and got Shandong. This is all spending money."
"And every year, Zhao fights the sea to build warships, ships and armour on land, which is a huge expense. I can be sure that Zhao Guori is also having a hard time. After this World War I, they also tried to launch a big offensive."
Tang gaozu nodded and said, "Peiqing won’t be victorious until he has done less kung fu in recent years."
Pei Ji hurriedly said, "Thank you for your compliment."
Li Yuan said, "In this case, if Zhao Jun has no spare capacity, we will leave some troops to guard the rest of the ministries and return to Zhongjingxiang. Do you have any objection?"
People are called one.
Tang gaozu added, "However, Zhao is not only fighting back against me, but also can’t take it lightly. Liu Qing is right. Three places in Hedong River in Henan Province are key places and must be guarded by generals."
Liu Hongji said, "Henan is the land of China’s Huitong, and the population is everywhere. When our army got Henan, it was the old generals of Wang Shichong who guarded these people. We don’t have much favor to give. Once Zhao Jun defected, the loss to our army would be great. I suggested that these generals’ families could be connected to Chang’ an, and then we would send troops to control the Henan armies."
Tang gaozu crossed his hands and said, "What Liu Aiqing said is really a good word. I decided that Hedong will continue to be guarded by Xiang Wuwang Li Chen, and Chai Shao will lead 5,000 troops to Danghe Town or Huai’ an Wang Li Shentong will continue to work hard for me. Hongji, you will lead 5,000 troops to defend Heyang."
Tang gaozu said here paused, "I decided to excavate the host viceroy into Dr. Zuo Guanglu to transfer the general Li Junxian Zhang Gongjin and the Bashu Army to control the military forces of Henan States, Li Xiaogong Jingxiang Road, and lead the main force of the South Road Army to return to Jiangling."
Listen to tang gaozu said people are shocked excavate this pull speed is too fast, people all know tang gaozu’s consistent style is not a clan, excavate from west gansu lee, of course, tang gaozu clan.
However, when Jinyang arose, Excavate personally went to Chang ‘an to report that Tang gaozu once wanted to kill this person. But this time, Excavate was pulled out by Tang gaozu’s fire line for his outstanding performance in pacifying Xiao Xian’s war in Iraq, and became a vassal like Li Chen of Li Xiaogong Li Shentong. It can also be seen that Tang gaozu is really eager for powerful generals to stabilize the current situation.
However, for Tang gaozu, withdrawing troops really made him very unwilling to invest in attacking Zhao this time. He paid far more than he gained. This time, he kissed the front line of Heyang to see if there was any last glimmer of success. It may be said that if Li Jingre attacked the tiger prison, his order today would be completely different for Tang gaozu.
However, after the failure of Li Jing, Tang gaozu knew from the bottom of his heart that things could not be decided, and he did not hesitate for a moment. At the same time, the military order was sent directly to Luoyang South with great urgency.
In June of the second year of innovation, Tang Jun attacked Luoyang army from north and south, and Li Chongjiu’s reinforcements all withdrew from Luoyang front before they arrived. This war also came to an end.

Chapter seven hundred and forty-six Luoyang Xianwang
On the Pleasant Square of Luoyang City People in Luoyang don’t know that this is the former residence of Yang Chang, the king of Qi.
At the beginning, Yang Guang still loved Yang Chang very much. When he moved the capital from Xijing to Dongdu, Yang Guang planned to give more than 400 mu of land to the son’s Qi Wangfu mansion. After that, he asked more about the name of the building of Yuwen Kai, the capital of Dongdu.
Yuwen Kai honestly answered the pleasant square. Yang Guang listened to the word, so he drew half of the pleasant square and the other half was the people.
Later, the Sui Dynasty perished, and this Qi Wangfu was occupied by Wang Shichong’s nephew Wang Wei Wang Honglie. After Wang Shichong was destroyed, Yang Chang returned to the east capital, Li Chongjiu, and returned this Qi Wangfu to this big uncle. Now this Qi Wangfu has long been renamed Yuyang Wangfu, and his wives and concubines live here.
Luoyang has been besieged for two months, but for Yang Chang, what he cares most is not the siege. What he focuses on every day now is the revision of history by the secret province and the secret prison.
From his father, he inherited his hobby of ostentation and extravagance and did high-profile things. For Yang Chang, the compilation of history has been heated since he took over. Just the famous Confucian scholar in Luoyang City, the old officials of the court invited more than 100 people to proofread the school lang, and more than 500 people were found, all of whom were well paid.
Hearing that Yang Chang was so generous, those Confucian scholars who were unemployed due to the war and could do housework all rushed to celebrate and thanked Yang Chang for giving them this chance to eat.
Yang Chang didn’t have much strength to find all the history officials to study history in parallel, but Yang Chang just began to study history and Tang Jun began to besiege.
This is the second time that Tang Jun surrounded Luoyang City. When Yang Chang saw himself doing things in person, Confucian scholars were very scared and asked the reasons before they knew that Luoyang City had experienced the third siege. The first siege was the siege of Shi Mi Wagang Army, which was so bitter that the low-level people in Luoyang City were starving and people everywhere competed for food.
The second siege was last year when Li Shimin besieged Wang Shichong. For half a year, the population of Luoyang City was not as good as that of the first siege. At this time, when the city was finally cleared, the people of the city almost died. At last, Liancheng cremation officials began to starve to death, and Zheng Guotang actually fell into the starved city center.
At that time, the population of Luoyang, the besieged city, fell sharply, and it was not human. Yang Chang knew that the population of Luoyang was nearly 300 thousand before Shi Miwei’s east capital.
Although Yang Chang died in the First World War, he didn’t worry about it himself, but he didn’t worry about it. These officials were worried. Besides the family members of foot soldiers and officials, there were many people in this city who supported the cremation of Zhao to migrate and flee.
Yang Chang, who has lived in Luoyang for many years, felt it necessary to stop this scene from happening. He should consult with Xue Wanshu, the shepherd of Luoyang Prefecture.
Xue Wanshu was very optimistic about this when he met Yang Chang. He assured Yang Chang that they had been preparing for Li Tang’s siege of Luoyang City. Not only had some people been evacuated before, but there was also a lot of food and grass in Jiacheng, which was not only enough for the officers and men guarding the city, but also enough for the people in the city to see.
Yang Chang listened to Xue Wanshu and said that Youzi was not at ease. However, in the past month, officials in his secret province who have been compiling history for himself have been very active one by one.
After Yang Chang asked, he learned that all Zhao officials have two and a half stones of extra food to withdraw every month. Although these two and a half stones of food are not enough to eat, they are enough to make the whole family not hungry. Although these compilation histories were invited by Yang Chang temporarily, they were not official officials of Zhao, but they also got a share of food.
Moreover, not only officials, but also cities have set up porridge shops at the east, west, south and city gates, and the people have a bowl of hot porridge to drink every day.
Hearing this, Yang Chang thought that since ancient times, the besieged city has been able to take care of its own troops, eat their fill, and soldiers have not looted the homes of the people. It is very good that they have taken the initiative to distribute rations to the people. This is simply incredible.
Yang Chang himself deliberately went to the main entrance of the palace gate, and then the porridge shop in Tianmen went to get porridge. After two hours of queuing, the Zhao officials put a bowl of hot porridge directly in Yang Chang’s hand without asking about your name and origin.
Yang Chang drank porridge. This millet porridge is still thick, not the kind of clear soup with little water. This porridge can pad the belly if you drink less.
After Yang Chang’s own experience, I believe that the city is indeed abundant in grain and grass. Not only that, Yang Chang sighed and treated the people’s officials, Da Zhao, very well. Li Chongjiu really treated the people like ancient sages. If this is the only thing, it is far better than the previous dynasty.
Today, Zhao Liguo won the support of Hebei people for no reason. Although Li Chongjiu was born in poverty, he can understand the sufferings of the people, so he can win the hearts of the people. Although he may not be able to win the hearts of the people, it is not far away. Yang Chang can’t help feeling.
After two months of siege, although the monthly salary of officials should be reduced, there are fewer porridge shops in Shicheng, but the people in Luoyang are not hungry at all, and the city is orderly. However, Yang Chang learned that there have been some troubles recently, and the firewood in the city is not enough.
Yang Chang went to ask Xue Wanshu, and Xue Wanshu replied that this is a hundred secrets and one sparse situation. Preparing for the day election is not necessary in summer, and there is not much firewood prepared, which leads to the shortage of firewood in Luoyang City, and the firewood in the market has increased by more than ten times.
Yang Chang naturally felt that he couldn’t sit idly by. He personally consulted a businessman in the city square to discuss not hoarding goods and selling firewood at high prices for profit, and made people tear down some old materials from Luoyang Palace to replace the shortage of firewood in the city.
Yang Chang’s move was of course praised by Luoyang gentry. Since Yang Chang’s careful history revision, everyone has treated him like a scholar for three days. Plus Yang Chang also recommended many Luoyang gentry to Xue Wanshu and Li Chongjiu, so that many of them could become officials in the court.
Yang Chang’s head has added a layer of recommendation of sages, which can give him a good name. Today, Yang Chang, a former dude, has become a virtuous king in Luoyang. Now Yang Chang is also praised by many people. When he was the king of Qi, others called him a virtuous king. He must be extremely happy, but what now?
On this day, although Yang Chang was half-way around the shops in Dongshifang, there was still business to do, and many people came to Dongshifang as usual. Although the materials were in short supply, the people’s faces were not dishes.
In the city square, there are armored Zhao soldiers patrolling the order, that is, the flag pavilion of the city department and the soldiers watching.
