Chapter 156

Next, some Tang troops did go to the barracks outside the city to rest, but most of them were still busy in the city, with tens of thousands of prisoners and the streets full of corpses, which must be handled within a certain period of time.

If such street fighting is not handled well, it will turn into a big plague. Hebei Road is originally a place with a large area and sparsely populated area. If a plague really occurs because of this battle, Li Ren and the other three will become eternal sinners in Hebei Road.

After cleaning the battlefield, more than a day had passed. The three of them all came to appease the scared people. Later, when Chen Zhibao replied that Shi Siming and Yiluohe had run out of the territory of Hebei Road and headed north, Guo Ziyi wrote the news of the battle into a letter to return to Chang'an City.

Of course, this time, just like before, according to Li Neng's advice, the main planner of this battle was said to be Mr. Guo Ziyi. In short, the most contribution to the Tang army was Mr. Guo Ziyi. Li Neng was just the third in charge here.

After doing all this, the three of them sat together again. The atmosphere this time became much more relaxed. Although they didn't catch Shi Siming, they could say that this time the task had been successfully completed.

The current Hebei Dao is completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and the current territory of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be completely lacking.

"You are a great contribution to the recovery of Hebei Road this time. Although we wrote it in the letter to Chang'an City, the Deputy Marshal and all the soldiers who participated in this battle know that with your ability, do you want to be a governor of Hebei Road all the time?"

Guo Ziyi is old and steadfast and can't say some words, but Li Guangbi is different. He always feels a little aggrieved for Li Qing.

It was clearly the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he had fallen to the point where he did not dare to tell the truth after making contributions. Moreover, Chang'an City was not attractive to Li Yan at all, which made Li Guangbi anxious to see him.

"Although the war on Hebei Road has temporarily stopped, Shi Siming fled with 20,000 Yiluohe after all. He will come back sooner or later, but I don't know how to come back. After this battle, we have formed an alliance with Tongluo and Pugu tribes. When the news spreads, the Uighurs will probably not look at it honestly. Someone needs to be in charge of these things in Hebei Road!"

Li Qing came up with these reasons, but he did not say anything. Li Guangbi wanted to persuade him after hearing this, but Guo Ziyi spoke first this time.

"There are some people in the northwest and south who have heavy troops, and their minds have always been very active. This time, after I returned to Chang'an City and reported to me, I am afraid that I will go to various places to guard it. In Chang'an City, I am afraid that there will not be many people who really talk to King Jianning. King Jianning should be more cautious when acting on Hebei Road!"

Li Qing understood as soon as he heard Guo Ziyi's words. The old man had a hidden meaning.

If someone saw Li Qing’s ambition in the Tang Dynasty, this person would almost be Mr. Guo Ziyi.

When he recovered Chang'an and Luoyang, Guo Ziyi was sure that Li Neng was not a person in the pool. This time Li Neng's various performances proved his ability and some of the old man's previous conjectures.

Guo Ziyi vaguely felt that Li Qing didn't want the first merits of Hebei Road because he didn't care about these things, but was numbing some people.

He always believed that if one day Li Neng didn't want to numb these people, the heavens of the Tang Dynasty would probably change again.

King Guangping, King Jianning, and Guo Ziyi have had close contacts, but in fact, in his heart, he has made his own choice.

"Don't worry, Deputy Marshal, the Deputy Marshal is so old. Don't go to Shuofang again this time. You can let Guo Xi and others go there on their behalf. The future threats of our Tang Dynasty will be north of Hebei Road and south of Lingnan Road. Shuofang should be fine!"

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are both wise people. Isn’t it the Uighurs north of Hebei Road? Isn’t it the south of Lingnan Road Tubo and Nanzhao?

"Although the civil strife has been quelled, it is also the time when our Tang Dynasty has the weakest military force. In the next few years, the Tang Dynasty will still be in a difficult situation. Once there is a crisis, we may have to join forces to fight the enemy!"

Guo Ziyi also expressed an agreement between them, and also expressed that the three of them had a very pleasant cooperation in combating the rebellion this time.

After this discussion, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi returned to Youzhou with their remaining troops. After all, Youzhou is the real location of the Hebei Dao District recognized by the Tang Dynasty.

Li Neng, with his own troops, continued to recruit surrendered soldiers in Fanyang, and at the same time prevented some anti-Tang forces in Fanyang from rekindling.

From this day on, Hebei Road temporarily stopped. The rebels had ruled Hebei Road for more than ten years and finally completely withdrew from the stage of history. Li Qing's true first big trouble after he arrived in the Tang Dynasty was also considered to be a pacification by his own ability.

The Anshi Rebellion in his previous life lasted for eight years, and the trauma brought by the entire Chinese civilization and development was irreversible.

Now, although it has been three years since An Lushan rose up, after Li Yan arrived, the people of the Tang Dynasty have not suffered a catastrophe in the repeated struggle between the rebels and the Tang army.

In addition to the murders committed by the rebels when they first entered the pass, the Tang army had almost unilateral counterattacked over the past year, so Li Yan had completed the foundation of this era: the maximum protection of the people.

The big troubles of the Tang Dynasty were solved, but Li Qing knew that his troubles might have been the real beginning. He understood that after the rebellion was over, Chang'an City and Tai Chi Palace would not be as dead as before. Many entertainment activities that had almost stopped before are about to begin again. The biggest thing among them is the establishment of the queen and the prince.

Li Qing doesn't care about who Li Heng chooses to be his official palace queen. Just don't say bad things about him in the emperor's bed every day like Zhang Liangdi.

However, Li Ren really had some thoughts on the position of crown prince.

Although the Tang Dynasty has suppressed its rebellion, there are many places that need to establish its authority. Otherwise, except for a limited number of Jiedu governors who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, the rest can only become increasingly disobey the discipline of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the history of previous lives, Li Yi's efforts have only slowed down the division of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not the root cause.
