Chapter 125: Fighting the Landlord starts
Ten days later, official news came from Luoyang that the tiger mom had agreed to Yang Yao's conditions to bring the five thousand Dragon Martial Army into Luoyang.
The tiger mom had no choice but to agree to the five thousand dragon martial army to enter Luoyang. The difficulty of solving it is always easier than the tens of thousands of tiger-wolf troops in Guanzhong who are like wolves and tigers to enter Luoyang. Moreover, in Luoyang, the tiger mom's territory plays this game of Landlords. Yang Yao's card looks too small, and it is better to control tens of thousands of imperial guards. Pei Yan, who has great power in the court, has a great threat and cannot catch the tiger mom's eyes.
Before leaving, Yang Yao left a guard team in Chang'an.
Xue Ne was promoted to the chief marching officer of Gyeonggi Province, and was in charge of military affairs in Guanzhong with Zuo Pushe Liu Rengui, who was responsible for military affairs at any time to prepare for war and support the direction of Luoyang;
The son-in-law Xue Shao serves as the deputy left-behind Chang'an City, full-time responsible for the construction of the Daming Palace and supervises Chang'an's government affairs;
Yunzhu is pregnant and is one of the nine concubines. Because it is difficult to travel long distances, she is allowed to stay in the Daming Palace in Chang'an and be in charge of palace affairs. And Shangguan Wan'er's palace maid, Chengri and Yang Yao, gave Wei, the surname Wei family of Jingzhao, and changed her name to Wei Tuaner.
Before leaving, Yang Yao also greatly promoted Liu Rengui's eldest son Liu Tao and became the attendant of the Zuo Sanqi. The attendant of the Sanqi, a third-rank official, had no real power. Like the Zijin Guanglu Doctor, he was an advisor to the emperor's think tank.
Yang Yao promoted Liu Tao, of course, to appease and win over Liu Rengui. Another purpose is to bring the eldest son of the Liu family with him, which is also a kind of restraint on Liu Rengui. At least during Yang Yao's departure from Guanzhong, this old slip-on should not do anything.
After deploying the personnel left behind Chang'an and preparing all the retreat, Yang Yao took Shangguan Wan'er, Wang De and his party, and the 5,000 Dragon Martial Army led by Xue Chuyu, set off for Luoyang.
Four days later, Yang Yao and his group arrived in Tongguan.
This is the second time that Yang Yao has passed by Tongguan. The majestic pass is still spectacular, but things have changed.
Before entering Guanzhong, Yang Yao was just a puppet emperor. Tiger Mom thought he was a dissolute son, and Pei Yan thought he was a foolish monarch, so he was qualified to compete with Tiger Mom. Pei Yan.
Yang Yao, who left Tongguan again, was already the true emperor. Not only did he have the team of his confidants, but he also had the territory of Guanzhong that was enough to achieve the emperor's career. Now Yang Yao is proud and has enough capital to sit down and have a good time with Tiger Mom and Pei Yan.
Wang Xiaojie, who was under Tongguan, had been waiting for many days, and had arranged his troops and horses to line up under Tongguan to welcome the emperor's return.
Yang Yao, accompanied by Wang Xiaojie, stood on the city wall of Tongguan, looking at the army lined up outside the pass, with a neat army. What's wrong? Is this a demonstration to me?
Yang Yao looked unhappy and asked, "General Wang, the soldiers stationed under Tongguan are drinking the mountain wind all day long, and are not planning to withdraw to Luoyang?"
Wang Xiaojie's original intention was to show kindness to the emperor and ask the emperor to review the army to resolve the embarrassment of the two armies' encounters before, and to clear up his charge of leading troops to force the palace.
However, he never thought that the emperor became suspicious when he saw the soldiers in the array. He really flattered the horse's legs. Wang Xiaojie was afraid that there would be another change and the responsibility would fall on him. He hurriedly explained, "Master, this military horse is for the emperor to inspect, and he has no different intentions. If the emperor is not happy, I will order the soldiers to withdraw to the barracks."
"As for withdrawing troops, the Empress Dowager's idea was that because Tubo might invade at any time, he would first withdraw the 40,000 troops under Tongguan, and leave 40,000 troops to be led by Li Duozuo in case of emergency."
Yang Yao was secretly funny. He was obviously worried that the troops who were left in Chang'an would enter Luoyang in large numbers and could leave a large number of troops to prevent accidents. However, he imitated Yang Yao's previous nagging and pushed them to the head of Tubo.
During this period, Tubo is really busy and has become a hot search!
Of course, it is definitely not the idea of sending a large army to guard Tongguan, but the collective consensus of Luoyang. Now the emperor has left at least 50,000 tiger and wolf troops in Guanzhong to stare at it. If he is not prepared strictly, once this tiger and wolf troops enter the Luoyang area, it is estimated that the money, houses, and girls of those famous families and wealthy officials in Luoyang will be in danger!
The idea of withdrawing Wang Xiaojie and 40,000 soldiers should be the tiger mom. One is to express his sincerity to invite him back to Luoyang to Yang Yao; the other is to limit the expansion of military power to prevent the tail from falling out.
Wang Xiaojie repeatedly gave in and showed his goodwill, and there was no need for Yang Yao to make things difficult for him. He was just a migrant worker who worked for the Tang Dynasty. It was just that the top power class in the Tang Dynasty was fighting for power, resulting in unclear division of power, and these migrant workers were at a loss.
Yang Yao smiled and said, "General Wang is kind, but I am disrespectful! I will review it with General Wang!"
Yang Yao stayed in Tongguan for two days and finally went to Luoyang.
In order to welcome the emperor's return, Pei Yan brought all civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him. The 5,000 imperial guards, Cheng Wuting, the general of the Yulin Guard, also sent Wu Sansi, who had a deep hatred with Yang Yao, to welcome him.
Yang Yao got off the throne, had a sign-like social smile on his face, and laughed at Pei Yan. After Pei Yan and all the officials welcomed the throne according to the etiquette, Yang Yao took Pei Yan's arm intimately and chatted about family matters, "Pei Aiqing, I miss you very much in Guanzhong!"
Pei Yan had been brewing for a long time and was also coming to say it, sobbing, "I was so anxious when I heard the news of the rebellion of the Jinwu Guard in Luoyang that I couldn't sleep at night. I immediately ordered the troops and came to Guanzhong to protect the enemy. I never thought that before I arrived in Tongguan, I received the news that the emperor had great power to quell the rebellion. The old minister could only fall asleep with his eyes closed."
Yang Yao was secretly funny. This old Pei was showing loyalty on the surface, secretly provoking discord, and leading the trouble to Wu Sansi, who was walking with him, and even the empress dowager!
Before my brother took a breath, he didn't eat a bite of rice, and even the fresh air in Luoyang City did not breathe a bite. Pei Yan couldn't wait to play the first game of Landlord's card and was about to start Landlord's fight? You're so anxious!
But when Yang Yao thought about it carefully, Pei Yan was not anxious to start, but was anxious to test the emperor's ideas. The rebellion in Yangzhou that had previously agreed had not erupted for a long time, and the emperor's idea of sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight in Guanzhong became a bubble. It would be strange if he didn't have suspicion of Pei Yan.
This time the emperor returned to Luoyang for Pei Yan or for the queen mother. Pei Yan was also unsure! If he was going for the queen mother, at least he should have expressed his nominal rebel Wu Sansi in public!
Of course, the tiger mom sent Wu Sansi to welcome the emperor with a shameless face, and she had the same thoughts as Pei Yan. Which side the emperor wanted to stand on or independently trade, and expressed her opinion on Wu Sansi, who committed the serious crime of regicide!
