That night, Li Zhi called Li Xin to his palace. claimed that the uncle and nephew had to talk all night, so there were only two uncles and nephews in the palace.

Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked Li Xin: "My nephew came to Suoyang City alone, did the imperial brother and sister-in-law know about this?" ”

"Your Majesty, after the nephew returned to the Central Plains, he went to Youzhou to meet his father and mother. It's a pity that my father didn't ...... in Youzhou City at that time" Then Li Xin told Li Zhi about his itinerary in detail.

It turned out that after Li Xin returned to Datang, he went back to Youzhou to meet his parents. It's a pity that Li Tai was not in Youzhou at that time, so he only saw his mother Xuanhua.

And learned from Xuanhua's mouth that Li Tai was fighting in Xiliang. So Li Xin decided to go to Xiliang to find Li Tai.

However, before Li Xin arrived at the boundary of Xiliang, he met Li Tai who returned to Youzhou. After the father and son met, they inevitably asked questions.

In the end, Li Tai decided to let Li Xin go to Suoyang City. and told Li Xin that I am afraid that Suoyang City has been besieged by the Xiliang soldiers at this time. and informed Li Xin of the method of breaking the enemy.

So Li Xin came towards Suoyang City, and happened to meet Xue Dingshan on the way. So the two came to Suoyang City together.

As for why Xue Dingshan came to Suoyang City, it was not Wang Ao's ancestor's clever calculation. Instead, Li Tai Feige passed a book to Wang Ao Ancestor and told Wang Ao Ancestor that Xue Rengui was afraid of the evil of flying knives.

That's why Wang Ao sent Xue Dingshan down the mountain to save his father. Not only did Wang Ao Ancestor receive Li Tai's flying pigeon biography, but even the Golden Knife Mother also received it.

So at this time, Xue Dingshan's twin sister was also on her way to Suoyang City. It's just half a step later than Xue Dingshan and Li Xin.

Hearing Li Xin say that Li Tai passed on his method of breaking the enemy, Li Zhi hurriedly asked: "I don't know what kind of method the imperial brother gave to his nephew to break the million Xiliang soldiers outside this Suoyang City." ”

"Your Majesty, when my father left Jietian Pass, he left a lot of fierce fire oil in Jietian Pass. And this fierce fire oil will burn quickly once it encounters fire. ”

"And this fierce fire oil is very viscous, and the adhesion is naturally very strong. Once ignited, it is difficult to extinguish it. ”

"As long as the emperor is ordered to take Tianguan and ambush it on the periphery of the Xiliang army. And use a stone thrower to throw the fierce fire oil into the Xiliang military camp. ”

"Combined with the red-coated cannons and grenades left by his father, he can burn down the camp of the Xiliang Soldier Company. At that time, the siege of Suoyang City will be lifted. Li Xin said to Li Zhi.

Hearing Li Xin say this, Li Zhi's hanging heart finally let go. happily said to Li Xin: "It's really embarrassing for the imperial brother, it's really hard to work hard for this Tang world." ”

"Your Majesty, when my nephew came, my father specially instructed me. said that I am afraid that someone will be unfavorable to the emperor. After Li Xin finished speaking, he took out a handwritten letter from Li Tai from his body.

Li Zhi opened the letter and couldn't help but be angry. Said angrily: "I didn't expect this remnant of the Tang Sect to be so rampant, and he was ready to secretly give the imperial brother and me those five stone powders. ”

"Your Majesty, my father said that in order to achieve the effect of wanting to capture and indulge, I hope that the emperor can cooperate with his nephew to perform a play." Li Xin said to Li Zhi.

"Don't worry, nephew, I know what to do. It's just a little wronged by the royal brother and nephew. Li Zhi nodded and said.

……

Early the next morning, Li Zhi replaced Xue Rengui and gathered in the general's hall. After all, although the poison in Xue Rengui's body had been dissolved at this time, his body was still very weak.

If you want to command thousands of troops in front of the two armies, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it in a few months. However, these three armed forces must not be left without a master for a day, and a new commander of the three armed forces must be elected.

"Today, I have summoned all the generals to the Hall of Commanders for the purpose of electing those who will be temporary marshals. After all, the three armies cannot be left without commanders for a day. Li Zhi said.

"Your Majesty, when Da Lao Hei was crossing the sea to conquer the east, he was the commander of the three armies. It's better to let the big guy take the position of marshal temporarily. Cheng Yanjin said.

"Although Wei Chigong can command the three armies, but I'm afraid he is not the most suitable person at this time." Xu Mao said to Li Zhi publicly.

"Then I don't know who the military advisor thinks is more suitable for the position of temporary marshal?" Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked Xu Maogong.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there are talents in the country. It's time for us old guys to take a back seat. ”

"The minister thinks that Xue Dingshan, the son of Marshal Xue, is more suitable to temporarily take the position of marshal. After all, the master of Xue Ding Mountain is Wang Ao's ancestor. ”

"This Wang Ao Ancestor is proficient in military books and war strategies, and the disciples he trained with his own hands are definitely qualified for the position of marshal." Xu Mao said openly.

"It's just that Xue Dingshan is still young, let him temporarily take the position of marshal, I'm afraid the three armies will not accept it?" Li Zhi said.

"It's very easy to do at this time, as long as Xue Dingshan can break the siege of this Suoyang City. It will be enough to deter the three armies. Xu Mao said openly to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, my nephew talked to Brother Xue along the way, and I felt that Brother Xue was a person with great ambitions. The nephew believed that Brother Xue definitely had the strength to break through the Xiliang army outside the city. Li Xin opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, what the military advisor said is good. It's time for us old fellows to step down and make way for the virtuous. If the Tang Dynasty can't train a new marshal. ”

"One day, we old fellows went to see the emperor. Who should protect the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Wei Chigong opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

"In this case, Xue Dingshan listens to the order, I will now appoint you as the prince of the king of Pingliao, temporarily acting as the marshal of the three armies, and when the siege of Suoyang City is lifted, I will definitely reward you heavily." Li Zhi said.

Xue Dingshan knelt on the ground respectfully, and said to Li Zhi's luggage: "Chen Xue Dingshan will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations, and he will unlock the siege of Yangcheng within ten days." ”

"I believe you can do it, and I'll wait for you to celebrate your success." Li Zhi said happily.

Subsequently, Xue Dingshan, surrounded by everyone, sat on the position of commander of the three armies. It can be regarded as becoming the temporary marshal of these three armies.

Then Li Zhi spoke again: "Imperial nephew Li Xin, although you are not the eldest son of the imperial brother, you are also the eldest son of the imperial brother. ”

"According to royal rules, you are not qualified to inherit the title of royal brother. But I remember that you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and today I named you the king of Liaodong County. Li Zhi opened his mouth and said to Li Xin.

Xue Dingshan's position as temporary acting marshal may be discussed in private. But to crown Li Xin as the king of Liaodong County, absolutely no one will feel inappropriate.

After all, this Li Xin is the blood of the royal family, and it is natural for him to be crowned the king and worship the prime minister. Today, he was crowned as the king of Liaodong County, and there was nothing more courteous.

However, Li Xin said: "My nephew is grateful to the emperor, but my nephew is responsible for the mission of Manichaeism, how can he accept the position of the king of Liaodong County." ”

"If my nephew becomes the king of Liaodong County, he will be an official of the Tang Dynasty. As an official of the Tang Dynasty, how can he preach in the world. Therefore, please also ask the emperor to retract his order. ”

Hearing Li Xin's words, Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "What kind of Lao Tzu is it, this father and son are really the same character, and they don't take this Hou Bai Xiang to heart." ”
