Chapter 402 Return to Chang'an
Suzong Li Heng looked embarrassed. Did he believe Li Fei's words? Of course he didn't believe it. He was extremely firm in his heart. But he had to believe the situation now. Now in Luoyang City, the number of soldiers and imperial guards he could command was less than 90,000. Although there were more people than Li Fei's Andong Iron Cavalry, he was frightened by Li Fei's words. He subconsciously did not think that less than 90,000 troops could not deal with Li Fei's nearly 60,000 Andong Iron Cavalry.
Li Fei left the Luoyang Palace, but the Andong Iron Cavalry was stationed very close to the Luoyang Palace, which was a shock to Suzong Li Heng.
Suzong Li Heng smashed something angrily and cursed for nearly half an hour before he calmed down. Suzong Li Heng was very unwilling to accept it. He wanted to wait until all the troops gathered, so he found an excuse to kill Li Fei and eradicate the future troubles. But Li Fei seemed to know his plan and forced him to leave Luoyang and return to Chang'an City tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, if you refuse to return to Chang'an City, Li Fei will probably jump over the wall in a hurry. Luoyang's troops are not enough to fight against Li Fei's nearly 60,000 Andong Iron Cavalry. At least some imperial guards and some other soldiers in Chang'an City have a total of about 30,000. Moreover, the Supreme Emperor is about to return to Chang'an from Jiannan. If Your Majesty no longer Chang'an City, there may be any variables!" Li Fuguo thought of something and persuaded Suzong Li Heng.
Li Fuguo advised Emperor Suzong Li Heng to ascend the throne in Lingwu regardless of Emperor Xuanzong who fled to Jiannan. Emperor Suzong Li Heng became the emperor, and he had the status he is today. After all, Emperor Xuanzong was the emperor for 40 years, and he was also afraid that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would not be good if Emperor Xuanzong of Tang took advantage of Emperor Li Heng's absence in Chang'an City and restore the throne.
"Father." Suzong Li Heng's heart suddenly jumped.
After all, his throne was not very upright. He was even more afraid of his father, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, taking advantage of his absence from Chang'an City and rein charge of the government.
"Okay, let Li Fei succeed and return to Chang'an tomorrow." While saying this, Suzong Li Heng's confidence, gradually burst out from his recovery of the two capitals, was also knocked down by Li Fei at the same time.
After a while, after hearing that the Andong cavalry had withdrawn from the palace, he rushed to find out the situation.
Because he had decided to return to Chang'an City and said that he was forced by Li Fei, he, the emperor, was too shameless. So Emperor Suzong Li Heng did not say too much to Guangping King Li Yu and Yu Chaoen, so he asked them to return to the military camp to closely guard against Li Fei and Andong Iron Cavalry.
King Li Yu of Guangping and Yu Chaoen were still from some imperial soldiers to learn about Li Feiqiang's reprimand for Suzong Li Heng after he broke into the palace.
"Li Fei is too ruthless." When King Li Yu of Guangping learned about the incident, his face became very ugly. Although he was not the person involved, nor the target of Li Fei's direct rebuke, he was the eldest son of Emperor Suzong Li Heng. His father was forced to break into the palace by Li Fei, a minister, and his rebuke and threatened him, the prince, couldn't help but feel extremely humiliated.
"There is An Lushan in front, and now there is another Li Fei. Why do you always have traitors?" Yu Chaoen also hated Li Fei and said gritting his teeth.
King Li Yu of Guangping felt a little trembling in his heart, and he felt that it was too dangerous for the general to take power, and he had already developed a strong distrust of the general.
Li Yu was the future Emperor Daizong of Tang, and with the current Emperor Suzong Li Heng, the two generations of Emperors of the Tang Dynasty, the towering trees that the generals could not trust were grown in their hearts. In fact, it was not only these two generations of emperors. In the late Tang Dynasty, until both Song Dynasty were full of distrust of military generals, so that the Central Plains dynasty's military power continued to weaken since Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
—————
Anton Iron Cavalry Station.
Through the information of Zeng Aniu Jinyiwei, Li Fei knew that the Tang army along the Jiangling Xiangyang and Nanyang were close to Luoyang and might arrive in Luoyang tomorrow afternoon. The Tang army on Henan Road will arrive in two days, and the other Tang army along the Jianghuai, Jiangnan and other routes will also arrive within 6 days.
Although there were nearly 100,000 Tang troops along the way in Xiangyang and Nanyang, Guo Ziyi's troops and the imperial guards in Luoyang, Li Fei was not afraid, but he was not prepared to put himself in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, Li Fei entered the palace early in the morning and urged Emperor Suzong Li Heng to return to Chang'an City.
Suzong Li Heng was very annoyed. He was very uncomfortable being forced by Li Fei, but Li Fei clearly stated that if he was not ‘obedient’, he would have to use force.
Because I was also worried that when Emperor Xuanzong of the Supreme Emperor Tang returned to Chang'an City from Jiannan, but he was not in Chang'an City, there would be any changes, so I endured the anger and shame and issued an order to set off and return to Chang'an City.
To prevent Li Fei, Suzong and Li Heng did not leave Guo Ziyi and other soldiers in Luoyang waiting for the gathering of troops and horses, and led their troops north to completely wipe out the Anqingxu anti-army who fled to Hebei. Instead, they first escorted themselves back to Chang'an along the way, and then considered the matter of extermination of the anti-army.
In addition, in addition to guarding against Li Fei, we must also guard against the restoration of the Supreme Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who took away his emperor's full strength.
So before he returned to Chang'an City, Suzong Li Heng secretly sent someone back to Chang'an City to make arrangements.
With the surveillance of the Jinyiwei spies, Li Fei certainly knew that Suzong Li Heng secretly sent someone back to Chang'an City to arrange the situation, but he didn't care.
This time, the battle to recover the two capitals was finally achieved. Everyone in the world knew that without him, Li Fei, the Tang Dynasty could not recover the two capitals. He also knew that Suzong Li Heng's humiliation promise to the Uighurs and Tubos, and he was willing to sell the people to the Uighurs and Tubos to ruin them. He was extremely disappointed with Suzong Li Heng. In addition, he was also disappointed with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and the people gradually evolved into disappointment with the entire Tang court, and Li Fei's reputation among the people became higher and higher.
In the third year of Zhide, on December 28, he finally returned to Chang'an City before the New Year.
It is worth mentioning that the Uighurs and Tubo people did not get much wealth and beauty they wanted in Luoyang, and they were killed by Li Fei's Andong cavalry. They were very angry and frustrated. After passing Tongguan and entering Guanzhong, the Uighurs and Tubo people brazenly plundered the people of Guanzhong, robbed all the property and beauty, etc.
According to Suzong Li Heng’s promise to them, Guanzhong was where they plundered property and beauties, which they deserved.
The people in Guanzhong did not rob and kill. Not only were the property plundered, but a large number of beauties and children were also captured. In one night, it was even worse than under the rule of the anti-military army. There were people killed everywhere, and the real corpses were everywhere.
At this time, the content of the promises made by Emperor Suzong Li Heng to the Uighurs and Tubos was also spread to Guanzhong.
The people in Guanzhong were in an uproar and immediately knew the causes and consequences.
A large number of people who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty cried bitterly, and they were extremely disappointed with the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Suzong Li Heng. Some even called on Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to restore the Tang Dynasty to regain control of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the people were also disappointed with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang because of the rebellion of Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang once brought them the Kaiyuan period. Many people firmly believed that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was just a moment of confusion, and in fact he was still a wise king.
Before Emperor Suzong Li Heng returned to Chang'an City, he lost the hearts of the people in Guanzhong again.
After hearing the appeals of some people in Guanzhong, my body was so scared that my face changed drastically and I was in panic. I didn't need Li Fei's urging, but I rushed to Chang'an City without stopping.
