Chapter 438

"The mouse's eyes are short-sighted!" Li Fei sneered in Luoyang City.

Li Fei was very disdainful of Emperor Suzong Li Heng's request to surrender and even appointed Shi Siming as the governor of Chuzhou.

In Li Fei's eyes, Shi Siming is a tiger that has eaten humans. If it is not beaten to death, it will always be a disaster.

"Prince, the court is so corrupt, and the prince is in his hands. Why not rush his army to advance westward? Tongguan is not enough to resist the prince's army. The prince can easily capture Guanzhong and Chang'an City, take over the Tang Dynasty and replace it." Zeng Aniu, the commander of the Jinyiwei, persuaded Li Feidao.

As Li Fei's earliest confidant, now in control of the Jinyiwei, Zeng Aniu really hopes that Li Fei can become the emperor. In that case, he will be a founding hero.

Not only Zeng Aniu, Wu Sheng and many other Anton Army generals, Andong officials all had this idea. They all clearly saw the power controlled by Li Fei. It was not difficult to replace the Tang Dynasty. They also wanted to achieve the merit of following the dragon.

Li Fei shook his head and said, "It is not difficult to attack Guanzhong and capture Chang'an City. The difficult thing is to conquer the hearts of the people. After all, the Tang Dynasty has ruled the world for more than 100 years. From Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to Emperor Xuanzong, it has been strong. Even if there is turmoil during the period, it is almost political. It is limited to the Chang'an City area of ​​Guanzhong. Although the Anshi Rebellion disappointed a large number of people with the Tang Dynasty, the wealthy places such as Jiangnan, which had not been war-torn, were concerned about the Tang Dynasty, and the people in Guanzhong and Chang'an City were also concerned about the Tang Dynasty."

"The people are just disappointed with the Tang Dynasty. It is not the time to be completely despair. Forcibly attacking Guanzhong to replace the Tang Dynasty is by no means the best way. I have already made a definite plan. Within three years, the people can turn from disappointment to despair with the Tang Dynasty, so that I can peacefully replace the Tang Dynasty!"

Now, with the surrender of Shi Siming and his son, the court has pacified all anti-army on the surface. In the eyes of the people, it is not only his contribution to Li Fei, but also the contribution of the Tang Dynasty court.

An Lushan and Shi Siming's rebellion for several years swept through half of the Tang Dynasty, and countless people were suffering. Now they have just been pacified. The people at this moment hate war the most. If Li Fei sends troops to attack Guanzhong and Chang'an City at this time and provokes war again, then in the eyes of the people, there is no difference between Li Fei and An Lushan and Shi Siming, and their reputation is instantly ruined.

"The prince is wise!" Although A Niu didn't understand very well, he subconsciously convinced Li Fei.

"In order to prevent the full contribution of this king from completely destroying Shi Siming's anti-army, the imperial court actually accepted Shi Siming's surrender. However, it was not that easy. Shi Siming killed so many innocent people in the past two years, and was bloodthirsty and cruel. I will never allow him to continue to survive in this world."

"Subscribe the prefectures and counties that Shi Siming has slaughtered since he followed An Lushan's rebellion, and the approximate number of people killed by the people is handed over to my father-in-law and let him question His Majesty in the court." Li Fei thought for a while and ordered.

"Yes, prince." A Niu went down to do it immediately.

"Come!" Li Fei called the messenger outside to come in again.

"Prince."

"The commander Zhang said that he could withdraw from Jianghuai to Chenliu, defend Bianzhou, and Chenliu. In the direction of Nanyang, let Lu Xin also withdraw from Nanyang to Yingchuan and defend Yingchuan—--" Li Fei deployed and reduced his troops, basically 'returned' Jianghuai and Nanyang to the Tang Dynasty court. Only Luoyang, Yingchuan, Bianzhou, Chenliu, Yanzhou and other places were left south of the Yellow River.

Li Fei did not want to use force to force the Tang Dynasty to occupy too wide a place, but instead he was burdened. He only had peace of mind to develop north of the Yellow River, as well as the areas of Luoyang, Bianzhou, Yanzhou and Chenliu. When the time is right, he would move west from Luoyang to Guanzhong and peacefully replace the Tang Dynasty.

Shi Siming and his son in Chuzhou, since the Tang army in Yangzhou cut off the way Zhang Shuo completely wiped out Shi Siming and his son, now Suzong Li Heng has accepted the request of Shi Siming and his son to surrender, so let the Tang court solve the problem of Shi Siming and his son by themselves.

Li Fei ordered the Andong army to shrink, completely withdraw from Jianghuai, and withdraw from other large areas such as Nanyang, which was equivalent to "returning" so many wealthy places to the Tang Dynasty court, which also made people believe that Li Fei was really not going to rebel like An Lushan and Shi Siming.

Although Li Fei still occupied Hebei, Luoyang and other places, the people regarded it as if they had not seen it. As long as Li Fei did not rebel, they would bring them war again.

In Chang'an City, Li Fei's actions in Guanzhong also made the Tang Dynasty feel much more at ease. He also turned a blind eye to Li Fei's still occupying Luoyang, Hebei and other places, and did not dare to force Li Fei too much.

Li Fei is now the King of Peiping, and there is no title to be granted or rewarded. However, the great contribution of defeating Shi Siming's rebel army must be granted.

In order to appease Li Fei, Emperor Suzong Li Heng issued an order to enthrone Li Fei's eldest son, the second son was Duke of the Kingdom, the third son was Duke of the County, and both daughters were granted the Princess. Lin Siming, the father-in-law of Li Fei in Chang'an City, was also enthroned as Duke of the County.

Li Fei can say that one king in one family, three dukes and one county duke, which is outrageous.

The imperial edict has just been issued.

The second is too difficult, but Lin Siming joined forces with his many "parties" to openly put pressure on Suzong Li Heng in the court.

"Your Majesty, Shi Siming has been rebelling with An Lushan. Later, he defeated the Nine Jiedus of the Tang Dynasty in Xiangzhou. After 600,000 troops, he captured Luoyang and called himself the "Emperor of Dayan". What is so ruthless. What is most heartbreaking is that Shi Siming slaughtered more than 50 prefectures and nearly 200 counties in recent years. There are millions of innocent people killed. Now that his destruction is imminent, His Majesty actually accepted his request to surrender and appointed him as the Jiedus of Chuzhou. How ridiculous it is. Begging Your Majesty to take back his orders and completely wipe out Shi Siming's father and son!" Lin Siming took out all kinds of brutal crimes that Li Fei asked the Jinyiwei to prepare for Shi Siming.

The eunuch presented the evidence of Shi Siming's crime from Lin Siming to Suzong Li Heng.

All the evidence of crime is true, without any exaggeration, but it is enough to move those who see it. Even for the sake of superficial majesty, Suzong Li Heng could not remain indifferent.

Although Lin Siming and his gangsters forced him to do nothing about this dynasty.

Lin Siming and Shi Siming, just one surname is just apart. They are all the same ruthless. Damn! Suzong Li Heng had no expression on his face, but he was full of malice towards Lin Siming. If Li Fei had not threatened Guanzhong in Luoyang, how could he tolerate Lin Siming developing so many gangsters in front of him!

Emperor Suzong Li Heng coughed lightly, and after a moment of brewing, he spoke with a solemn expression: "Shi Siming actually killed so many people, and his crimes are indeed unforgivable. I accept his request to surrender. I am not investigating the order. I will send an order to Yangzhou Jiedushi, Jiangxi Jiedushi, and Ezhou Jiedushi send troops to completely eliminate Shi Siming's rebels!"

Originally, Suzong Li Heng accepted Shi Siming's request to surrender in order to prevent Li Fei from continuing to attack and obtain the full contribution of extermination of Shi Siming. Now Li Fei has ordered the Andong army to withdraw from Jianghuai and Nanyang, so there is no need for Shi Siming to keep it anymore, so it is better to completely wipe it out.

Emperor Suzong Li Heng thought that Shi Siming, who was left with only Chuzhou and Feizhou, was already the grasshopper in the autumn. It was very easy to wipe out without Li Fei's Andong army, but unfortunately he was wrong.
