The three-year covenant has finally arrived, and the current Tang Dynasty is really poor and white, although the two strong enemies of Tubo and Abbasid have been destroyed, but the people are living in hardship, and even the military salary has been repeatedly reduced, which can be regarded as maintaining the economic balance, but the soldiers in the army also have a lot of complaints.

In such a situation, Li Hao didn't have to think about it, and directly began to mobilize troops and horses to prepare to attack Datang, but in early May, a storm suddenly hit, which made him suspend the plan and postpone it, which was a month.

This storm came by coincidence, just preparing for the summer harvest, the crops are in the ground, there is less than half a month to be harvested, all of them were flooded by the storm, two large areas of rain in the south of the Lingnan River, and the flood hit, and Yuan Tiangang was completely panicked.

The country has always been in a state of half-death, and the people's complaints are also very big, if you don't hurry up for disaster relief, you are afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising, however, what kind of disaster relief does he take, he is also a poor ghost now.

Sure enough, the people of Lingnan Province and Jiangnan Province couldn't live their lives, so they rebelled one after another, broke through the government, and robbed all the taxes and grains of the government, and the entire Lingnan and Jiangnan fell into chaos, and Yuan Tiangang hurriedly sent troops to suppress it.

Li Hao's two armies set off from Qiongnan and Liuqiu respectively, and then landed from Leizhou and Quanzhou, after landing, they wantonly scattered grain, relieved the people, and the people heard that it was the righteous army of King Qiongnan and Li Hong, King of Qi, and they were all grateful to Dade, and many people took the initiative to ask to join their army and crusade against Yuan Tiangang together.

Li Hao strictly screened, recruited some rebels into the army, all the way to the north, when entering the South Mountain Road, the two armies were combined in one place, there were 400,000 troops, along the way defeated three Yuan Tiangang sent to quell the rebellion, and once these three armies were defeated, they were thrown into Li Hao's army, after all, they were also the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they were also dissatisfied with Yuan Tiangang, because the country under Yuan Tiangang's rule was too embarrassed, even the military salary was reduced, Li Hao's prestige was high, and they really couldn't find a reason not to surrender.

Li Hao's attack had already been expected by Yuan Tiangang, but he didn't expect Li Hao to come so quickly this time, and there were already 400,000 troops, this number sounded so scary, he hurriedly mobilized the army and prepared to defend Chang'an, but he still felt a wave of weakness.

Finally, Li Hao arrived in Chang'an, with an army of 550,000 and surrounded Chang'an City, Yuan Tiangang personally climbed the Mingde Gate Tower, looking at the dense rebels outside the city, he was stunned.

A red RV drove out of the rear barracks and stopped five miles outside the Mingde Gate, Li Hao walked out of the RV, jumped on the roof of the car, wore a microphone, and said indifferently: "Yuan Tiangang, you are gone, surrender!" ”

The speaker amplified Li Hao's voice countless times and transmitted it to the city tower.

Yuan Tiangang asked people to lift out a big horn, raised the internal force, put his mouth on the loudspeaker, and said loudly: "I have destroyed the Japanese kingdom, Tubo, Abbasids, such feats, how can you compare, you said, as long as I make the Tang Dynasty stronger, I will not attack, you break your word and get fat." ”

"Hehe......" Li Hao sneered, shook his head and sighed, "You don't seem to understand how a country can be considered really strong, although you have destroyed the surrounding threatening countries and let the people not be bullied by foreigners, but you see, the army against you outside the city, the people who really belong to me, only 230,000, and the other 220,000 are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they will not allow you!" ”

"Down with Yuan Tiangang! Down with Yuan Tiangang! Down with Yuan Tiangang...... I don't know who started it, all the rebels shouted in unison, more than 200,000 people chanted, the sound was like rolling thunder, shocking, Yuan Tiangang's face became extremely ugly.

"What the hell did I do wrong!" Yuan Tiangang yelled angrily, "I just want to make us strong!" Where did I go wrong! ”

Li Hao said lightly: "I told you a long time ago that your method is wrong after all, because you are too conceited." ”

"Li Hao, give me another three years!" Yuan Tiangang shouted excitedly, "If you give me another three years, I will definitely make Datang rich and strong......"

"Don't dream!" Li Hao said coldly, "Give you another three years, I'm afraid that civil strife will break out in Datang!" Give you another thirty years, and the Datang will be gone! ”

Yuan Tiangang was silent when he heard this.

Li Hao slowed down his tone and said: "Yuan Tiangang, the opportunity has been given to you, and you have tried, it has been proved that you do not have the ability to lead the nation to rise, so you don't want a vegetarian meal." ”

"I'm not convinced!" Yuan Tiangang shouted unwillingly, "I just don't understand science and technology, these years, I have built a school, those students cultivated by you have become teachers, they are vigorously teaching science, the people have known the power of science, as long as a few years later, the country's scientific and technological development ......"

"The people are starving to death, and they are developing fart technology! Still in school? Are you here to be funny? Li Hao replied very unceremoniously.

Yuan Tiangang suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"Yuan Tiangang, you are an anti-Japanese hero, I will not embarrass you for this, I gave you the steps, please walk down by yourself, even if you don't think about yourself, think about the people of the city and countless soldiers, you have also fought for the country, you should be able to sympathize with them."

Yuan Tiangang turned his head to look at the soldiers around him, their faces were full of hesitation, and their eyes were full of panic, he suddenly remembered many years ago, when he and his comrades were born and died, and remembered the hardships of holding back hundreds of enemy troops with the strength of five people in Langya Mountain, he had experienced despair, but for some reason, now he has no sense of despair, just a little unwilling.

Yuan Tiangang was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "You will definitely make our nation rise, right?" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "The former Tang Dynasty was so rich and powerful under the rule of Emperor Taizong and me, have you forgotten?" ”

This sentence finally dispelled Yuan Tiangang's last doubts, so he nodded and said: "Okay, everything that follows will be handed over to you, you must lead our Chinese nation to the top of the world, otherwise, I will not let you go!" ”

He threw down the trumpet, jumped up to the wall, and jumped down from the Mingde Gate, intending to commit suicide and apologize.

Seeing this, Li Hao exclaimed: "Don't! ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Nantuo Mountain, Jingyun Temple, here is Li Hao's first stop in this world, and it is also a place that fills him with memories, now more than 30 years have passed, although Jingyun Temple has been repaired twice, but it still looks very dilapidated.

Li Hao pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, shouting, "Master...... Senior Brother Pei...... Li Zhi ......"

However, no one answered him, not even the little monkeys, and the yard was full of fallen leaves, so it was certain that they were not there.

Li Hao came to the wing room, the interior was still as the layout when he lived, unchanged, couldn't help but arouse his infinite reverie, suddenly, he saw a piece of paper pressed under the lamp on the table, and a layer of dust fell on the paper and the table, and two words were written on it - Li Hong, which is Li Zhi's handwriting.

Li Hao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Li Zhi to pass on the throne to Li Hong knowing that Li Hong was not his bloodline.

He picked up the note and found that there were many small words on the back, so he looked carefully, and the back was a message left by Li Zhi to Li Hao, saying that he had cut off the common thoughts, changed his name and surname, and traveled the world, so that Li Hao would not look for him anymore, and the emperor's position was passed to Li Hong, although Li Hong was the son of Li Hao, but he was also the grandson of Li Daozong, and he still had royal blood, and it was not considered a rumor of the throne, but I just hoped that this matter would not be announced to the public.

After reading it, Li Hao stuffed the note into his arms, raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Okay, anyway, I was going to talk to him about this matter, alas, I really envy him, idle clouds and wild cranes, travel all over the world, I really want to leave the court, but Li Hong won't let it, annoying!" ”

Li Hao returned to Chang'an, officially let Li Hong inherit the emperor's throne, and immediately named Li Hao as the Taifu, and assisted the state administration for three years, which was proposed by Li Hong himself, because he had seen Yuan Tiangang's failure, so he was extremely cautious, for fear that he would not be able to govern the country well because of his lack of experience, so he had to follow Li Hao for three years of internship, he had 100% trust in Li Hao, Li Hao also had hardships that could not be spoken, fortunately it was only three years, let's get through it.
