Chapter 746 Civil Strife

Li Tang's desire for peace seems to be very strong.

Li Po's consideration at this time can only be what happened to Li Tang, whether Li Tang will send an envoy to sue for peace, or a plan to confuse the enemy, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and he has learned the cunning of Li Yuan's father and son more than once.

But then again, it's still that sentence, the arrow is already in the string, and it has to be sent, so Tang Envoy's trip to him actually doesn't have much meaning at all.

The only thing to worry about is what Li Tang is doing.

…………………………

In March, the warm spring breeze is quietly rippling, and the dots of green indicate that vitality is blooming.

But the breath that is more chilling than the north wind is gradually coming, like a hurricane gathering momentum, just waiting to take shape.

Since the end of February, the army, pack teams, and even cattle and sheep that have come up to Jinyang from the official road in the north have never stopped, like a trickle, converging outside Jinyang City.

As the various departments gradually formed an army, for a time in the camp outside Jinyang City, people shouted and neighed, and they kept all night.

Lieutenant Chi Xin, the general of the Right Tun Guard, took the lead in leading the soldiers and horses of the prefecture to the south of Jiangxian County, accompanied by a large amount of grain and grass, almost the forward has arrived in the Jiangjun County Government, and the tail is still in the territory of Taiyuan Mansion.

The serpent winds its way and whines the horn of war.

People in troubled times are more numb, even if they have heard the rumbling war drums, the spring ploughing in Jindi is still unfolding in an orderly manner, and the farmers are immersed in farming, just wanting to harvest a crop after autumn, so that their families and themselves can survive in this troubled times.

It can be said that compared with the people of Henan who helped the old and the young to invest on the side of the Yellow River, they are undoubtedly lucky, at least there are fields to cultivate in Jindi, and there are also expectations for life.

Henan...... This hinterland, which is as ancient as the Jin Land, has now come to a miserable situation that cannot be expressed in words.

At the height of the population, there was a large area of no man's land, and the once fertile fields were overgrown with wild grass, and faintly, white bones could be seen hidden in them.

The weather will be warmer, and in the drizzle, you can always see some sparse crowds walking on the road that led directly to Luoyang, rushing to the edge of the Yellow River.

In fact, after Li Mi and Wang Shichong fell in love and killed each other, coupled with Wang Shichong's rampant conquest, and the subsequent westward expedition, not many people in the northwest of Henan survived.

Those who can come to the edge of the Yellow River and defect to the Han King Li Ding'an, in fact, most of them are homeless people and fugitives hiding in the mountains.

The ragged clothes could barely cover the body, and they were all the same color, black and black, and they couldn't see their true faces, and they were also thin and similar to skeletons.

They are the survivors of the war in Henan, and there are no old people, children, or women in sight, and the war, cold, and hunger have swallowed too many lives, and the rest are dying.

This situation is even worse than Li Po expected, and it is undeniable that Li Po has undoubtedly contributed to the tragic situation caused by this man-made disaster.

If it weren't for him making waves in Jindi, Li Tangping would have killed Liu Wuzhou very quickly, and then he would have waved his troops to Henan, so that he could still leave some vitality for Henan.

Of course, the fact is that the war dragged on, Wang Shichong lived for an extra year and a half, and raised troops to the west, and because Wang Shichong was defeated too quickly and too suddenly, it was the end of autumn, and people couldn't react at all, so the cold and terrible winter came.

So far, there is no one in Dingkou, Henan, and within a radius of nearly a thousand miles, a floating slaughter on the ground appears in the world, which is more than that of Shandong in those years.

And Li Po is still gearing up, wanting to compete with Li Yuan.

The words he said back then are still in his ears, but where will he remember them now, even if he remembers some, I'm afraid he will only say one sentence, people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, right?

The times create heroes, heroes create the times, in fact, they are nothing more than that, there are only a few heroes, and most of the rest are among the people who are created.

At the beginning of March, Wang Shiyun's letter of invitation to surrender went to Jinyang, the funny thing is that Duan Da was much more straightforward than Wang Shiyun, and led the army to surrender to Dou Jiande in winter, because Henan has become barren, no one wants to solve the food problem, so the monkeys scattered, each to their master.

Yang Guangjian's Luoyang City is still standing tall, but it has been completely in the dark, and the tragedy of cannibalism is gradually staged.

The nobles and the leaders of the rebel army were also red-eyed, they were already divided, and no one could unite them in one place when they were at stake, and the fierce arguments had just begun, and the rebellions had already broken out one after another.

Under the chaos of dead and wounded, the order completely collapsed, and it was even more chaotic than the enemy army entering the city, and the eastern capital of Luoyang looked like a tomb.

Wang Shiyun's letter arrived in Jinyang, and it was thrown aside by Li Po without accident, the eastern capital, and even the entire Henan, have always been like chicken ribs in Li Po's eyes, and now there seems to be no shredded meat, let alone in his eyes.

As for the life and death of the people there, hmph, in the past ten years, so many people have died, what is the point of dying more?

And in essence, what he thinks at this time is quite similar to when Yang Guang was there, Luoyang Gate Valve has a relationship with the wealthy family in Kansai, leading the world from afar, and today is at the end of the road, who will lend a hand to them when they are full?

You must know that most of today's situation is the fault of this generation, wouldn't it be right for them to go down to accompany Yang Guang'er?

Such a cold thinking, in fact, the plot is not now, but in the future, the time when the gate valve was heyday in the world has passed, the emerging aristocratic group is forming, the old will always be eradicated, and today's wars are actually burying the glory of the old gate valve......

…………………………

Then news came that Xiao Mo finally reaped the consequences, and after Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, was killed, Zheng Wenxiu, the king of Chu, also died.

It was not killed by Xiao Milling, before Zheng Wenxiu went to Jindi, he was injured by an arrow on the way, and after he reluctantly returned to Liang, the injuries were repeated, and he finally did not survive, and died of illness in the mansion at the end of January of this year.

If it was a normal time, it would have been fine, but it was really not the right time for him to die, Zhang Xiu had just been killed, and the king of Chu had also died, and suddenly rumors spread in Jiangling City, and quickly spread to all directions.

What kind of rumors, then there is no need to ask, the rumors all say that Liang Wang Xiao Mo does not miss the old feelings, first kills Zhang Xiu, and then poisons Zheng Wenxiu Yunyun.

No matter how the rumors appeared, anyway, the people who recommended Xiao Milling back then were in their own danger.

Xiao Mo also seemed to be a little flustered, and immediately sent someone to send Dong Jingzhen, who was stationed in Changsha, to return to the dynasty to discuss major matters, and he thought that Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, was a person who took care of the overall situation.

Dong Jingzhen is indeed easier to use, Shen Liusheng killed Xu Deji that day, it was Dong Jingzhen who persuaded Xiao Milling to kill Shen Liusheng, so as to appease the others, and when Xiao Milling became the emperor, the kings were also headed by Dong Jingzhen, after Zhang Xiu's death, Dong Jingzhen did not say anything, but was ordered to go to Changsha immediately, which shocked the commotion of Zhang Xiu's old subordinates.

Well, anyway, Xiao Mo felt that Dong Jingzhen was more clear than other kings and understood reason, and once he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately thought of Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin.

But at this moment, in fact, Dong Jingzhen is already anxious in Changsha, and she is wiping her ass for Xiao Miao.

Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, can fight habitually, is a rare handsome talent, as many arrogant soldiers as he commanded, as soon as Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, died, the news spread to the army, many people were either cold or resentful.

Dong Jingzhen is sitting in Changsha, which can only be regarded as barely maintaining the situation, some generals in the army outside are already in a state of separation, and they don't listen to his requisition at all, if it weren't for Dong Jingzhen holding on to the lifeblood of money and food, it is estimated that someone would have turned against his mother first.

Changsha is unstable, and Lin Shihongda has the image of a resurgence, Dong Jingzhen is not a doppelganger at all.

Moreover, when Zheng Wenxiu, the king of Chu, died, Dong Jingzhen was also suspicious in his heart, and he did not dare to return to the court easily, and his left and right henchmen also persuaded each other, so Dong Jingzhen refused to return the edict on the grounds that the enemy was in front and the army's morale was unstable.

And this actually means that Dong Jingzhen has a heart of separation, which has also caused the fact that Liang has rebelled and stood on his own.

Xiao Mo was furious when he heard the news, he was already upset, and he was suddenly mad by Dong Jingzhen's sudden arrival, and ordered someone to behead Dong Jingzhen's family, and ordered Wang Renshou to lead the army to attack Changsha.

Later, Xiao Mo passed on Zhou Faxing to enter the court, added Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, and Jin Shangshu Ling.

Whether it is Wang Renshou or Zhou Faxing, they have taken on important responsibilities at this time, and Xiao Miao's meaning could not be clearer, and he wants to use the people in the gate valve to suppress the kings.

In this way, the originally balanced power structure of the Liang State was completely broken, and the relatives of the Xiao family made waves from it, and there was chaos in the capital of the Liang State.

In general, Xiao Mo seemed to be possessed by something during this year, and began to die hard.

Maybe it's because the aristocratic mind is making trouble, or maybe it's that the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the feeling of meeting an opponent makes him flutter and enter the stage of being rigid and self-serving, or he feels that his position is becoming more and more stable, and he doesn't want to hear the harsh sound anymore, and wants to tidy up the interior and slaughter a group of those who are proud of his achievements, so as to enjoy the fruits of victory......

In fact, no matter what the reason is, Xiao Mo is using his own actions to interpret what a mediocre king looks like.

These internal news of Liang Guo are actually the same as Li Tang's side, and it is not easy to reach Li Po's ears.

But after all, the two families are not blocked by the Yellow River, especially incomparable, there is also a Song King Yang Daosheng stationed in Nanyang, watching Henan.

Dong Jingzhen didn't go back to Liangdu, and Yang Daosheng, who has always been timid, would not have any expectations for Xiao Miao, not to mention that Zhang Lun, who was stationed in Hongnong County, and Xu Shiji were not idle people......
