In the six years of Qianfu, the world was shaken the most, and the purpose of the government and the opposition was neither Huang Chao entering the Eastern Capital and Luoyang becoming emperor, nor Li Ke's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty for the second time, let alone Li Tang and Huang Qi's dazzling feudal kings.

In this year, the most shocking thing to the world was the current Marshal of the Kwantung Soldiers and Horses of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin, and Li Jing, the king of Lanling County, who was also the newly named Emperor of Qi.

In just a few months in the sixth year of Qianfu, Li Jing first sent troops to Youzhou, and took advantage of the imperial court's crusade against Hebei to easily devour the four prefectures of Ji, Tan, Jing and Shun in Lulong Town, and officially entered Hebei and seized the territory of Lulong Half Town.

Immediately afterwards, an army of 80,000 went south, broke 200,000 enemies in two major battles, and captured five prefectures of Moying, Cangdedi, Hebei.

This is not the most shocking thing to the world, what shocked everyone was that in less than a month after Li Jing captured the five states of Hebei, there was another series of fierce offensives.

Yichang, Tianping Town, Taining Town, in just a short period of time, Li Jing has swallowed three towns in a row, and also swallowed half of Lulong Town, occupying the original Lulong's battalion, Ping, Ji, Tan, Shun, Jing, and Yicheng Town's Huazhou, and the reform army's Sizhou. Swallow it in one fell swoop.

The three towns of Yichang, Tianping, and Taining were swallowed in one fell swoop. In addition, four more states were swallowed. Calculated down, at the beginning of the year, the four prefectures of Lulongji, Tan, Shun and Jing were captured, and then the five prefectures of Mo, Ying, Cang, De and Di in Hebei were captured, and then the four prefectures of Tianping Zhenji, Yun, Cao and Pu, the four prefectures of Taining Zhenmi, Hai, Yi and Yan, the Sizhou of the Reform Army, and the Huazhou Prefecture of the Yicheng Army, added together. In March of the sixth year of Qianfu, Li Jing had already swallowed the land of nineteen states.

Prior to this, Li Jing owned a territory of 30 states and 100 counties, and his soldiers were strong, but he was not shocked or uneasy. After all, Li Jing's territory, except for the original Ziqing Five Prefectures, the other twenty-five prefectures are all in Guanwai Liaodong. Although the territory is large, after all, it belongs to the outside world in the eyes of most people.

But just a few short months later, it's a different story.

Li Jing owned the territory of forty-five states at once. In the Guannai alone, there are four towns of Ziqing, Taining, Tianping, and Yichang, plus part of the territory of the three towns of Lulong, Yicheng, and Probation.

From Guanwai to Hebei and then to Henan. Li Jing's territory has been connected all at once. A border outside Liaodong and Liaoxi, plus half of Hebei and half of Henan, Li Jing's momentum is expanding so fast that everyone has been shocked.

Li Tang owns the world, and what he can actually control at the moment is half of the country.

Don't look at Huangchao, who claims to have 600,000 soldiers and horses, and the momentum is fierce, but what he controls now is only Henan headquarters, half of Henan.

Although the four towns of Hebei are strong, only half of Hebei is left.

Li Ke is strong, and he only occupies half of the north.

Overnight, the heroes of all parties in the Tang Dynasty were shocked to find that everyone had only owned a few states of land for a few years, and Li Jing didn't seem to have much effort, and he actually owned forty-five states at once, occupying the eastern seashore.

Hebei, Zhenzhou.

The marshals of the four towns of Hebei who had just suffered a big defeat gathered in Chengde Zhenzhou, Han Jian, Wang Jingchong, Liu Yue, and Li Quanzhong were all a little discouraged. Li Jing's extremely strong combat power shocked them deeply.

Although Taining Town and Tianping Town were extremely empty, Li Jing swallowed these two towns at this time and felt a little half-deceived. Relying on the banner of King Li, Tang and Qin, as the marshal of the Kwantung Soldiers and Horses, under the pretext of sending troops to counterattack Luoyang, he was half-deceived and half-captured. But no matter what, it is a fact that Li Jing has newly captured the land of fifteen states in the blink of an eye.

What's more, although Li Jing went south with tens of thousands of cavalry, Li Jing now stationed 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hebei.

With such a heavy army, it is simply difficult for the four towns to sleep and eat, like a man's back.

Moreover, Li Jing implemented a resettlement plan in Hebei, a scorched earth strategy on the border, and set up a no-man's land, which was too cruel. Give Li Jing time, and he will be able to truly stabilize the newly captured Hebei region. If you wait for Li Jing to stabilize, then will Li Jing let go of the remaining half of Hebei next?

"If Li Jing doesn't die, we will die!" Wang Jingchong said coldly that in the last war, Chengde Town could be said to have suffered the heaviest losses. Yichang Town, which was swallowed, had to spit out after the worst, and lost its soldiers.

Liu Yue also nodded, he was now the saddest one in the four towns. Li Keyong seized his four northwestern states, Li Jing seized his Mo, Shun, Ji, Tan, and Ping prefectures, and now he only has the two prefectures of Youyou and Zhuo. It can be said that there are wolves in the west and tigers in the east, and they are in danger of being lost. If it continues like this, Lulong Town will be swallowed up in less than two years.

However, although Li Jing went south, he left 100,000 troops in Hebei, of which the main force was stationed in Moying Erzhou. And now in spring, the river is frequent, and Li Jing's army also enters the river to cruise, which is not easy to deal with. ”

"It's hard to deal with, and we have to deal with it. Li Jing is now expanding greatly, the stalls are very large, and the troops are relatively scattered. Now is our only chance, if we can't take advantage of this time to counterattack and recapture Hebei Prefectures, then our four towns are really finished. Li Quanzhong also suffered heavy losses, losing Yingzhou and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his strength is now greatly weakened. Li Keyong in the west and Li Jing in the east, this day is also sad.

"Li Jing will not die, and there will never be peace in Hebei!" Wang Jingchong smashed his fist on the table with hatred.

Hedong, Daizhou, Yanmen.

Li Keyong, who was named the king of Yanmen County by Li Tang, is now in control of Wu, Xin, Confucianism, Confucianism, Wei, Dai, and Xin. Li Keyong originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the towns in Hedong to go south to seize Hedong, even if he couldn't take Beijing Taiyuan for a while, at least he wanted to take Daibei. However, things went more difficult than expected, and he only won the three states of Wei Dynasty. When attacking Datong Yunzhou, it was met with fierce resistance, and at the same time, the attack on Taiyuan was also very difficult. As a result, the towns returned to the division. Li Keyong had no choice but to retreat.

Fortunately, the court made a decree. Awarded him as the envoy of Yanmen Town. King of Yanmen. There is no need to spit out the territory that has been taken away.

Li Keyong had the lesson of the first anti-Tang Dynasty, and this time he also knew that he would accept it when he saw it. Seeing that the court was unable to crusade against him at this time, and after resorting to pacification methods, he immediately beat the snake with the stick and re-submitted it to the court to express his submission.

However, on the surface, although he has stopped fighting with the towns in Hedong, in fact, Li Keyong is still waiting for the opportunity.

"Ma'am. What do you think of the proposal of the four towns in Hebei? "In the palace of the county in Yanmen City, Li Keyong handed over the letter presented by the Hebei envoy to his wife Liu.

After reading the letter carefully, Liu raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

"Husband, do you think that the Tang family can still be preserved today?" Liu asked suddenly.

Li Keyong sneered, "The Tang family is now a building about to collapse, and it is difficult internally and externally, no matter how much you hold it, you can't hold it anymore." ”

Liu Yunniang nodded, agreeing with Li Keyong's opinion. "My husband is right. Li Tang is destined to be doomed this time. Then the husband thinks that if Li Tang perishes. Who has a better chance of replacing Li Tang in this world? Is it Huangchao, or the four towns of Hebei, or Li Jing, Gao Piao? ”

"Huang Chao is just a salt seller and grass thief, and the four towns of Hebei are just a few old warlords, Gao Yu? It's just old. Speaking of which, when it comes to today's heroes, only Li Jing is unfathomable, and has the best chance to replace Li Tang. Li Jing has both ambition and territory and strength, controlling the army with one hand and the will of the people with the other. ”

Liu Yunniang chuckled and said, "Why did the husband forget someone? ”

"Who?" Li Keyong couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could compare with Li Jing. Although he has always resented Li Jing in his heart, this resentment is not enough for him to fail to see Li Jing's true strength.

"Of course, it's the husband himself, the husband doesn't want to be arrogant, although we can't compare to Li Jing for the time being, but it's not that we don't have the opportunity to compete with Li Jing. The key is whether we can seize the opportunity. Liu Yunniang calmly analyzed.

Li Ke became a little short of breath, he had already had a wish, that is, one day, to establish a kingdom of Shatuo.

"We are too far away from Li Jing!" Li Keyong let out a long sigh, although he now has the land of Qizhou, his strength is actually not as strong as the strength of the Shatuo clan before the first anti-Tang Dynasty. The defeat at the hands of Li Jing left a lot of shadows in Li Ke's heart, not to mention, the current strength of Li Jing is indeed too huge, with 45 states and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"It's nothing for the time being, we can unite with other forces to deal with Li Jing. The proposal of the four towns in Hebei is not bad, the weak are strong, although Li Jing is strong, he is not invincible. We will unite with other forces to deal with Li Jing together. As long as Li Jing can be defeated, with the fierceness of our Shatuo soldiers, we can also make a difference in this upcoming troubled era. Liu knew that his husband was not an ordinary person, so he tried his best to plan for him.

"The four towns of Hebei are just defeated by Li Jing's subordinates, why bother joining forces with them, it is better for us to swallow them directly and then confront Li Jing." Rick stroked his face with his hand, and his one-eyed glow shone intimidatingly.

"Husbands can't, if you are together, you will be strong, and if you are divided, you will be weak. None of us are necessarily Li Jing's opponents, and if we confront each other, then it is even more impossible to deal with Li Jing. To deal with Li Jing, you can't be in a hurry, if you can't bear it, you will have a big plan, you must think about it in the long run, and plan it slowly. ”

Li Keyong smiled at Liu, "Then I will listen to Madame, what Madame says, we will do." ”

"First of all, reply to the four towns of Hebei and promise to secretly make an alliance with them to deal with Li Jing together." Liu's eyes also revealed a shrewdness, "The four towns of Hebei alone can't deal with Li Jing, we still have to find more allies." Li Jing's soldiers and horses are now drawn to Hebei and Henan, and the old nest of Liaodong is empty, so we should contact Li Jing's great enemy in Liaodong, the Khitan, and directly set fire to his backyard. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away." Li Ke listened to Liu's words.

"Wait, send someone to Huainan to contact Gao Qianli, the king of Bohai County, he has a bad relationship with Li Jing, and now Li Jing has occupied the Taining Army at once, and occupied Sizhou of the Reform Army, and hit the north bank of the Huai River, facing Gao Yu's Huainan Town across the river, I am afraid that the King of Gao County will not feel good in his heart. If we enlist him to deal with Li Jing, I'm afraid he will be very willing to join. ”

Li Ke smiled with a big smile, "Madam Miaoce, Gao Qianli is a famous general, if he can make a move, it will naturally be the best, I will send someone to do it." (To be continued......)
