Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

Unconsciously, they have already entered the game without knowing it, and think they have other choices and ways out.

Three days later, Li Keyong led his army to tear through the rebels' territory like a spear.

However, Li Keyong did not carry out any massacre, nor did he continue to seize victory. Instead, he built a defense line, using the East China Sea as the background and the battle line as the boundary, and began to consolidate the rear area.

This is Li Shouxi’s strategy.

Gradually dismantling the foundation of the Huang Chao uprising army, turning the Lianghuai area into a springboard like Liaodong.

Instead of the calculations of the court officials, the power of the Prince of Yan's Mansion was slowly weakened.

An ordinary person would naturally not be able to withstand such a time-consuming and exhausting war of attrition, but Li Keyong was the Duke of Jin and had the Prince of Yan's Palace behind him.

Even if the imperial court urged Li Keyong, the Prince of Yan's Mansion would mediate for him.

Therefore, Li Keyong was not worried at all about being questioned by the court.

Although he is brave, he is not reckless.

He knew exactly how Luo Yi failed.

If we are impatient for success and try to expand our achievements, we will inevitably repeat the same mistakes.

Moreover, he had the support of the Prince of Yan's Mansion behind him to deal with the imperial court, so he was not in a hurry about the speed of the next march.

Instead, he would go on incognito visits with Li Siyuan from time to time to check on the resettlement of disaster victims in the rear.

"What a trick!"

Three months later, the Huang Chao uprising army, which had originally held an absolute advantage, completely collapsed.

Li Shouxi's methods were not very clever, they could only be described as steady and cautious, and they could not achieve the effect of a surprise attack or a surprising strategy at all.

But for Li Shouxi, he had no intention of suppressing the rebellion directly.

Today, collusion between officials and businessmen has led to an uprising of the people in the Huai River area.

What about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

Treating the symptoms but not the root cause will inevitably lead to repeated relapses.

Moreover, Li Shouxi was aiming for control of the Lianghuai area.

At this time, Huang Chao slaughtered all the corrupt officials and aristocratic families in the Huai River area. The Huai River area was in the window period of power transition, and there was no obstruction even from the aristocratic families.

In this case, how could Li Shouxi miss such an opportunity?

As time passed, Huang Chao's original confidence gradually turned into endless fear and despair.

It was not until a month ago that news suddenly came from the hinterland of Lianghuai near the East China Sea that the Prince of Yan's Palace brought 30 million tons of grain and 50 million stones of bran.

For a moment, the victims who had been following Huang Chao suddenly became riotous, which completely shook the morale of the army.

These disaster victims were originally a group of farmers holding hoes.

They rebelled because they had no way to survive. Now the Prince of Yan's Mansion gives them a way to survive. In this case, who would be willing to rebel?

As a result, after one month of events, not only did the popularity that Huang Chao had gathered disappear, but he was even left with only a few hundred thousand subordinates, most of whom had mortal feuds with the aristocratic families and the imperial court.

A blood feud that destroyed a family.

Some people can let go, but some people cannot, so they will not accept the imperial edict.

This method also made everyone realize how terrifying Li Shouxi was.

Charging into battle is just a small matter. Playing with people's hearts and making plans across thousands of miles are the real talents for managing the world.

However, the crisis in the Huai River region was resolved, but the crisis in the Tang Dynasty and even the various dynasties in the Kyushu region became increasingly severe.

Although the Huang Chao Uprising was the largest, it was only an inducement.

After Huang Chao defeated Luo Yi, uprisings broke out all over the north, but Huang Chao achieved the greatest results.

But this also opened up ideas for many rebel forces.

After all, Luo Yi was a top general famous throughout Kyushu, yet he was still defeated by the people.

At this time, most of the government troops in the entire Kyushu were suffering repeated defeats.

It was not until Li Shouxi made a move that a solution was found.

Chapter 240: The Tang Dynasty Besieged on All Sides

"Your Majesty, Huang Chao has escaped!"

Huang Chao ran away?

Inside the Daming Palace, the Tang Emperor was neither surprised nor angry when he received the good news.

Huang Chao is just a mere figure and is nothing to be feared.

The ones who were truly afraid of Huang Chao were the aristocratic families.

After all, Huang Chao's ruthlessness towards the aristocratic families was obvious to all.

Those with delicate skin and tender flesh are directly used as military rations.

No humanity?

But they were not innocent when the aristocratic families exploited the common people and forced them to eat their own children.

Therefore, the harm caused by aristocratic families is the real cancer of the Tang Dynasty.

In the eyes of the Tang Emperor, Huang Chao and the aristocratic families were in a situation of dog-eat-dog warfare!

Instead, it was the Prince of Yan's Mansion that took action, causing the Emperor of Tang to sigh at the methods of his eldest son.

At this time, uprisings broke out everywhere in northern Kyushu.

Although many new talents emerged during this period and many rebellions were suppressed, the overlord-level uprisings like Huang Chao, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the King of Rebellion, were suppressed by the Tang Dynasty with absolute force.

Even though it would leave endless troubles, for the Tang Emperor, the biggest disaster had been eliminated.

"It's just Huang Chao. If he runs away, he runs away. We can offer a reward of 10,000 gold to capture him."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded unconsciously.

The people from the noble families looked at each other and thought that ten thousand gold would not be enough, so it would not be too much to increase the hidden expense to one hundred thousand gold.

"Your Majesty, what about the administration of the Lianghuai area?"

"You guys go and tell them?"

The Emperor of Tang asked back with disdain, and everyone realized that it was impossible to take back the administrative power of the Lianghuai area.

At this time, Li Siyuan led 50,000 soldiers to garrison in the Huai River area, although their force seemed weak.

But those were 50,000 elite soldiers!

Even if there were a million rebels, with a one on twenty ratio, they could still kill seven in and seven out, not to mention that these soldiers had Liaodong behind them.

"Just now Xier wrote:

At this time, the people in the Huai River and Huai River regions had just been pacified. If the court rashly placed personnel in the area and made administrative changes, it would inevitably cause unrest among the people at the grassroots level.

Just like curing an illness and saving a life, you need to rest after recovering from a serious illness."

"Your Highness Prince Yan is right!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers blushed.

At this time, they remembered the causes and consequences of the uprising in the Huai River area, and they also knew that if the ruling personnel were replaced rashly, it might even cause chaos again.

After all, those children of wealthy families do not take the lives of the common people and the poor seriously.

But if we do nothing about it, the power in Lianghuai will inevitably fall into the hands of Prince Yan's Mansion, and the consequences can be imagined.

This will be more serious than the return of Youzhou and Jin to Yan.

It may even become the next Liaodong.

Because the network of aristocratic families in the Huai River region had been completely destroyed, they didn't think Li Shouxi would miss this opportunity.

Thinking of this, the quick-witted minister understood what was going on.

For a moment, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp!

Even Emperor Tang couldn't help but smile, lamenting that the father and son were so good, and that the future troubles of the aristocratic family might really end in Li Shouxi's hands.

“The uprising in the Huai River region ended, but the Tang Dynasty was still embroiled in war.

The uprisings in Wagang, Northwest, and Southwest are still going on. Do you have anyone to choose? Suppress the rebellion according to Xier's strategy?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in shock.

It’s not that they have no talent under their command, it’s just that they are all from aristocratic families, and there are very few geniuses from the lower classes.

As for why?

The aristocratic families have blocked the way to acquire knowledge. The so-called poor scholars and princes are from families whose ancestors were once glorious and have a certain heritage, but no fame.

The general gentry and landlords are not as well-off as the poor families in terms of family background.

For example, if we trace the poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, how many of them were born in poor families?

As for the loneliness that followed, it was just that the family fell into poverty.

"Do we need to ask Prince Yan's Mansion to help?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend Pei Ju from the Pei family!"

"Song Shidao of the Lingnan Song family is not bad either!"

Pei Ju, Song Shidao, Li Xuance

The Emperor of Tang listened to the candidates recommended by everyone and nodded. These people were the best among the young generation of the Tang Dynasty and were capable of taking on important responsibilities.

If it weren't for the stimulation from Prince Yan's Mansion, these ministers would probably not have thought of these young talents.

In other words, to do these thankless tasks that may even cost you your life.

The next step is to decide where to send these people.

As for the candidates to lead the battle - Duke Huguo Qin Shubao, Duke Weichi of Weiguo, and Duke Liang Zhu Wen, each of them suppressed a large region, with four or five young talents as vanguards.

"Can!"

With the Emperor Tang's final decision, the overall situation has been determined.

When Li Shouxi got the news, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

Especially when hearing the name of Zhu Wen, I didn't expect that this traitor who betrayed Huang Chao and destroyed the Tang Dynasty in history would now have a large army to suppress the rebellion.

I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty will soon fall!

"Lord Li, this is the reward from the prince for defeating the rebels this time!"

On the way back, Li Bei took out the reward from Li Shouxi.

Inside the high-end rosewood treasure box was an extremely strange blood-red orchid, which made Li Keyong reveal a hint of curiosity.

Even though he sent the news of the Southern Xinjiang Immortal Valley to Li Shouxi as a sign of surrender, he did not know that the precious medicine in the Southern Xinjiang Immortal Valley was the Blood Magnolia, so Li Bei chuckled and said:

“Your Highness brought back six Immortal Blood Orchids from Southern Xinjiang last time.

Two of them are used to feed exotic beasts, one is used to make pills, and the remaining three are kept in the treasury. This is one of them."

Undead Blood Orchid? Could it be

Brought back from southern Xinjiang? In the name of immortality?

Even Li Keyong couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart. He stared at the blood orchid in the red sandalwood treasure box in disbelief. At the same time, he heard Li Bi say:

“Lord Li, please don’t worry. Although this blood orchid is a treasure, it can indeed prolong your life and increase your power.

But the prince said that this blood orchid is suitable for animals but not for humans.

In the Immortal Valley, the survival probability of those who take Blood Orchid is one in ten, which is similar to the method of raising Gu. The one who survived in the end is the patriarch of the Immortal Valley in southern Xinjiang.

Therefore, after the prince retrieved the blood orchid, he used alchemy to dilute the medicinal power and assisted in refining the elixir with many top-grade medicinal materials.

I hope you will think twice before acting!"
