Li Ze's camp was more than ten miles away from the battlefield, and three thousand personal soldiers were guarding each other. Li Ze wanted to go to the battlefield to see how Xu Fu was, but he had no choice but to oppose it. After all, it was a battlefield of tens of thousands of people, and no one would be sure that any accident would happen. Even if it was a sure thing, there would be no possibility.

No matter what, I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of something. As the form becomes more and more wise, Li Ze's identity becomes more and more noble. Whether it is You Yong, Shi Zhuang, or Tian Ping, his wealth and glory are firmly tied to Li Ze. Who would like to let him take even a little risk?

So Li Ze could only stay away from the battlefield, relying solely on the messenger to learn about the information on the battlefield.

In the afternoon, the Liang army led by Xu Fu fought a decisive battle with the Tang army.

Li Ze was not worried about the result of the decisive battle. When Xu Fu gave up the natural danger of Hulao Pass and chose to fight the Tang army in a decisive battle, failure was inevitable.

Regardless of the gap in combat power between the two armies, just talking about the number of people, the Tang army had an advantage.

Tian Ping's troops lost thousands of people after more than a month of battle, but there were still 20,000. Liang Han, Jose, and Ren Xiaonian each led 5,000 people to join the battle, which brought the Tang army's number of soldiers to 40,000.

The Liang army was only more than 20,000, and here there were only more than 10,000 people in the core of Xuanwu army. Moreover, after the bombing of family letters and the begging of family members, it is a questionable matter how much combat power these people can preserve.

Xu Fu's pre-war inspiration was very good, and he made the posture of a mourning soldier to the extreme, or could burst out with strong combat power in the early stage of the battle. However, as the war progressed, when the blood faded and the cruel reality was placed in front of him, the enthusiasm of blood naturally came and went quickly.

Li Ze felt that when the sun set, he could probably sit on the city tower of Hulao Pass, drinking tea while enjoying the scenery of the Locking Sky Center and the Sanqin Portal.

"Hizhuo, if what I expected is right, Cao Xuan will give up Luoyang and retreat to Tongguan to defend." Li Ze looked at Pei Ju opposite him and smiled, "No more than ten days, you can return to Luoyang."

Pei Ju, the former chief of Luoyang, was not happy when he heard this: "But it has changed things and people."

When Luoyang City was broken, the Eastern Capital Defense Envoy, King Fu Li Xin and the princess burned themselves to death. Other concubines fell into the hands of Liang Jun and were mostly abused. Pei Ju's family was also damaged during the battle, and there was no news. Later, Pei Ju was in charge of Weizhou and investigated it from multiple sources. The inner guards were also looking for it with all their efforts, but there was no news, so it would be a lot of good fortune.

After the Ezhou water battle, Li Hao, in accordance with Li Ze's order, sent all the captured Liang army naval generals to Weizhou and handed them over to Pei Ju. The city of Luoyang was broken when the navy stationed in Luoyang rebelled and led to Luoyang and was defeated with a blow. The army under the jurisdiction of the 100,000 Eastern Capital Defense Envoy was caught off guard.

Pei Ju hates these traitors deeply.

After these people were handed over to Pei Ju, there was no news again, and Li Ze never asked about this matter again.

"When people live, they have to look forward!" Li Ze said slowly: "Your family is gone and your children are gone. In the future, you will take care of the tens of millions of people in Henan Province! Just like what you did in Weizhou, let them eat, have food, wear clothes, and have houses. Both widows, widows, widows, orphans have a place to support."

"Li Xiang wants to establish a Henan Province? Will Luoyang be separated separately?" Pei Ju was a little shocked.

"Why do you have to do this more than that?" Li Ze said with a smile.

Li Ze said it lightly, but Pei Ju was in a storm. The meaning contained in Li Ze's words is extraordinary. As the capital of Chang'an, Luoyang has a transcendent status and plays an important role in Chang'an in terms of economy. Luoyang has always been a separate defense zone to become a barrier to Chang'an, but now Li Ze's intention is to incorporate Luoyang into the Henan Province, which has greatly weakened Luoyang's political status.

Why did Li Ze make such a decision?

Pei Ju knew very well that the trend of Li Ze's independence in the Li Tang Dynasty was irreversible. As people knew, once Chang'an, the old capital with a strong political significance, Li Ze would definitely be independent.

Now that Li Ze made such a decision, what is included is that Li Ze, who became independent in the Tang Dynasty, wouldn’t he regard Chang'an as the capital?

If this is true, Luoyang will naturally no longer have to become a separate administrative region. It is inevitable to incorporate into Henan. Only in this way can it be used to restrain the place where Chang'an is located in the administrative divisions and avoid some possible disputes.

"Henan, Guanzhong and other places have not stopped in the past few years." Li Ze did not guess what he said made Pei Ju think so much, but said to himself: "No matter what the battle was, these two places always became the center of the war, and the people suffered more suffering. The center estimates that over the years, the people in these two places have been reduced by at least half. Even those who stayed were poor and poor, and the family had overnight food, very few. Even the wealthy Luoyang has been withered in the past two years due to our blockade. After you take office, you must do your best to restore the local people's livelihood as quickly as possible, and let everything be on track."

"Yes!" Pei Ju put away the thoughts in his heart. As an official of the old dynasty, he was not Li Ze's confidant. The reason why he used him to supervise Henan was probably because he was attracted by his past experience in Luoyang and people's expectations. He could win people's hearts as quickly as possible.

"The land in the Central Plains is fertile. As long as there is no war, light taxes and levies, and rest with the people, you can quickly recover from your vitality. What's more, the current court's policies are so good that as long as it can be implemented smoothly, everything will be taken for granted." Pei Ju said.

"The difficulty lies in the smooth implementation!" Li Ze gently knocked on the table, "These two places are powerful families, but there are countless families who are crossing the river and noble families. These people have been like grass on the walls in these years, blowing the wind on both sides. They have flattered the fake beams, but have never broken off contact with us. They have always been good at both sides and pleased each other. In order to successfully recover these two places, we have also accused of these relationships. Look, when we take Luoyang and Chang'an, these people will appear in front of us passionately as loyal and righteous men. Haha, don't hit people with smiles. At that time, it will be much more difficult to implement our administration than other places."

Pei Ju nodded continuously.

As the empire and the capital for hundreds of years, Chang'an, Luoyang and other places have always been places where wealthy families and nobles gather. These people have a lot of wealth and land, but these are things that the new imperial court cannot tolerate.

Pei Ju, who has been a governor of the local government for many years in the bureaucratic system established by Li Zexin, knew very well that Li Ze didn't care how rich these people were, and only needed your money to be honest. Just like Boxing Trading Company, it was a wealth group dominated by Khitans. For example, Xingxin Tongda Trading Company was a group of suffering in the past. Think about it again, it was like the wealthy family in Hedong that had been enemies with Li Ze in the past. Although it still accumulated huge wealth after being dug out of the roots of the entrenched place, Li Ze ignored them.

Because under Li Ze's current rule, the wealth family simply based on clans no longer exists. Every wealth group is filled with different interest groups.

Take Boxing Trading and Social Industry as an example. Although it is mainly composed of Khitans, the imperial court also holds shares, and some people from other places also have a certain say. For example, the Liu family in Hedong, after the fall of the Fan family and Sima family, finally became prosperous and brought some forces from Zhenzhou Yizhou into their own business, and immediately grew stronger. Of course, the price paid was that the Liu family no longer had the final say.

Li Ze is working hard to make every business group, like politics, a stage for competition among various forces, allowing all forces to fight within and then find a balance.

And the law becomes the final judge.

In recent years, Chun Yu Yue, the Minister of Justice, has introduced several new laws every year to adapt to the ever-changing new forms of the North. Although the problems are still constant, on the whole, everything is developing thriving.

In short, Li Ze wanted to destroy the land-based clan forces so that these people no longer had much influence on the future court. He could allow the court's laws to penetrate into every corner.

These policies have achieved good results in the north.

Today, the clan power has fallen in the north, and it has become history that the imperial power has not gone to the countryside.

But in Henan, Guanzhong and other places, everything that was old still had an absolute advantage. It is very difficult to fully implement the laws of the North. It is impossible to force those aristocratic families and clans to the end step by step, and they had to take risks. Then Ding Jian raised his butcher knife and killed them into a river!

After all, the river cannot be compared with Chang'an and Luoyang.

Thinking of this, Pei Ju's mind couldn't help but feel a little swelling.

It is naturally a good thing to supervise the government. Speaking of the current governor, except that he does not have military power, there is nothing different from the past military governors!

But huge power also has huge obligations. The former governor was a local emperor, but the current governor had an extremely efficient court, a wise and powerful military force that could not deceive Li Xiang.
