"Kill Liu Heimin?"

Li Chongjiu heard Zhang Xuansu say that he was sure to destroy Liu Heimin, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since defeating Dou Jiande last year, Liu Heimin has unified the remaining forces of Dou Jiande, and from November last year to May this year, he has done a total of three major things.

The first thing was that Liu Heimin defeated the men of Yuan Zigan, the governor of Tang Prefecture, and occupied Zhouzhou. Yuan Zigan was originally the general guard of Wu'an County in the imperial court, and then Li Mi surrendered with a book from Zu Junyan, so he subdued Li Mi.

But later, Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong, and Yuan Zigan also attached himself to Li Yuan along with the way out of most of the old court officials in the Wagang army.

After Dou Jiande's army was defeated, Li Tang's Shandong Provincial pacification ambassador Li Shentong had the intention of taking advantage of the situation to annex Liu Heimin's department, and entered Hebei first before Li Chongjiu, but unexpectedly, Li Shentong stretched out his foot and kicked the stone and encountered hard stubble.

Liu Heimin not only defeated Li Shentong's attack, but instead captured Zhaozhou, and Li Tangfeng's Yuan Zigan surrendered to Liu Heimin.

In consideration of Xu Shiji's aggressive offensive in the north, Liu Heimin moved the base camp of the Xia army from Leshou County to Yongnian County, Wu'an County, renamed it Zhaozhou, and built a palace as Wanchun Palace.

The second thing, Liu Heimin thought that he could inherit the throne of King Xia after Dou Jiande's death, but where did he know that news came from Youjing that Dou Jiande did not die, but was made a marquis by Li Chongjiu, and he was offered delicious food and drink. Because of his lack of prestige, Liu Heimin did not dare to replace Dou Jiande, so he still regarded Dou Jiande as the king of Xia, and also sent people to Guanjin to sweep the grave of Dou Jiande's father Dou Qing, and arranged for twenty families to take care of the cemetery.

Liu Heimin proclaimed himself a general in Zhaozhou, and at the same time sent an envoy south to Luoyang to pay homage to the emperor and Taizhu in order to marry Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong was overjoyed when he learned about it, because he could not form an alliance with Li Chongjiu. Instead, he sought an alliance with Liu Heimin.

The third thing is that Liu Heimin knew that he was going to take Dou Jiande's position, and his prestige was insufficient, so he led his army to fight in the east and west.

Liu Heimin first formed an alliance with Yu Culture and Yanhao in the first month of this year.

Yu Wenhua was retreating to Wei County at this time, when he was defeated by Li Mi. Many soldiers died Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and thought that he was at the end of the road, and sighed and said, life should be dead, wouldn't it be an emperor one day. So he deposed Yang Hao, the king of Qin, and established himself as emperor. The country name is Xu, and the year name is Tianshou.

When Da Xu established the country, the heroes were speculating about Yu culture and being able to support it for a few days. After the defeat of Yu Wenhua and Tongshan, there were only more than 20,000 horses left in the more than 100,000 strong forces, which can be said to have been destroyed by Li Mi. However, after Li Minan's defeat to Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua was able to breathe. After that, Li Mi attached himself to Li Tang, Yu Wenhua and took the opportunity to conquer the country's troops and attack Liyangcang.

At that time, Li Chongjiu had the intention to give up Liyang Cang to Yu Wenhua.

Yu Wenhua and Pingbai got a big bargain, and now the grain and grass of Liyang Cang were raised, and they actually resurrected, and in history it was Li Shentong, and Dou Jiande joined forces to destroy Yu Wenhua and. According to Li Shentong in the east and Dou Jiande in the west, he was sandwiched between the two powerhouses, and the more spiritual he lived.

After Liu Heimin and Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong formed an alliance successively, the catastrophe was gone, and he led the army eastward to take Shandong.

At this time, there were many princes in Shandong, the original imperial court Qizhou Tongshou Li Yiman according to Pingling, Liukou Qi Gongshun according to Qing, Lai. Chun Yu is difficult to rely on Wendeng, Xu Shishun according to Rencheng, Jiang Hongdu according to Donghai, Wang Bo according to Qi County, Meng Haigong. Jiang Shanhe is based in Yunzhou, Zhang Qingte is based in Jibei County, Zang Junxiang is based in Haidonghai County, and Xu Yuanlang is based in Yanzhou.

Among them, Li Yiman, Xu Shishun, Jiang Hongdu, and Chun Yujing have all descended to the Tang Dynasty.

And Wang Bo descended to the Tang Dynasty first, and now he sees the resurgence of Yu Culture and Dongshan, and descends to Xu Guo.

As for Meng Haigong, Jiang Shanhe, and Zhang Qingte, they originally surrendered to Dou Jiande, but now seeing the fall of Dou Jiande, they are all self-reliant.

As for Xu Yuanlang, Zang Junxiang, and Qi Gongshun are neutral.

Liu Heimin made a large-scale foreign expedition to consolidate his authority, crossed the Yellow River in March this year, fought fiercely with Meng Haigong and Jiang Shanhe, and defeated Meng Haigong's 20,000 army, after which Jiang Shanhe betrayed Meng Haigong, killed Meng Haigong, and dedicated it to Liu Heimin.

At this time, Xu Shiji was ordered by Li Chongjiu to send troops to Hejian, attack Gaoyang, and besiege Wei to save Zhao. Liu Heimin had to lead the army back from Shandong and return to Gaoyang, and Xu Shiji withdrew from the army.

But Liu Heimin did not stop, and sent troops to attack Dongjun, Dongjun guarded Wang Rail to subdue Li Tang, and his subordinates saw Liu Heimin's soldiers, so they killed Wang Rail and dedicated his rank to Liu Heimin. Liu Heimin said: "This is an unfaithful person, what is the use of asking for it." ”

At that moment, Liu Heimin killed this general and returned the rank of Wang Liang to Dongjun, and the people of Dongjun looked at it and were grateful for Liu Heimin's kindness.

Seeing that Liu Heimin's troops were pressing, Xu Shiji, the governor of Hedong Province, presented a table to Li Chongjiu three times, asking Li Chongjiu to send troops to attack Liu Heimin's back to prevent Liu Heimin from becoming bigger.

Now that Li Chongjiu's use of troops against the Khitan has ended, he can attack Liu Heimin to eliminate the trouble of his henchmen.

So listening to Zhang Xuan's plan to defeat Liu Heimin, Li Chongjiu said: "Zhang Aiqing, why don't you want to destroy this big disaster, but now that the use of troops against the Khitan has just ended, the soldiers and horses are exhausted and need to rest, not to mention that the treasury is empty and there is no money and food, I think to crusade against Liu Heimin, it will be until September at the earliest." ”

Zhang Xuansu said with a smile: "Please rest assured, please leave this matter to me." ”

Li Chongjiu heard Zhang Xuansu say this, and said with a smile: "Very good, Zhang Qing, you will assist Xu Dudu in handling this matter." ”

Zhang Xuansu said yes at the moment.

Chang'an City.

In Wuji Palace, Li Yuan was enjoying flowers with his favorite concubine Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De in the back garden of the palace.

Li Yuan was in a very good mood, Pei Lin on the side, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Li Yuan talked. Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De were on the side to add wine to them.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Li Yuan rested on the dragon chair.

Pei said quietly: "Li Liang has been destroyed, the land west of the Longyou River is worry-free, and His Majesty's domination of the world is just around the corner." ”

Li Yuan smiled when he heard this, and said, "As long as you like to have fun, Li Liang is self-defeating." ”

Li Yuanji said: "Father, although Guanzhong is worry-free, Hebei is ......."

"Fourth brother," Li Jiancheng interrupted, "Fourth brother, what do you say, why bother to disturb my father's interest at this time." ”

Li Yuan laughed when he heard this, and said: "Prince, when does my Li family not let people speak, Yuanji, tell me what's wrong with Hebei?" ”

Li Yuanji said: "Father, at the moment, Guanzhong, although Bashu is fixed, but I Li Tang in Hebei is losing land again and again, last year for Li Chongjiu to capture Hengshan County, this year and lost Zhouzhou, and then lost Dongjun, not the child criticizes the elders, but the father you entrust the affairs of Hebei to the King of Huai'an, are you really at ease?" ”

Li Yuan pinched his beard and sat up straight when he heard this, Li Jiancheng said unhappily: "Fourth brother, King Huai'an is a general ordered by his father, and if you question King Huai'an, you are questioning your father's employment." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Prince." Li Jiancheng stopped talking at the moment.

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanji and said, "King Qi is so interested in the war in Hebei, do you have the intention to go to Hebei again and take over from King Huai'an to lead the troops?" ”

Li Yuanji heard the words changed slightly, since the loss of the state last year, he really did not want to go back to Hedong, Hebei, and wade through the troubled waters again, this attack on the king of Huai'an, but also in honor of Li Jiancheng's meaning.

Li Shentong has always been very close to Li Shimin, which aroused Li Jiancheng's jealousy, and Li Shentong, as the pacification ambassador of Hebei Province, controlled the soldiers and horses of several states in Hebei, and held a high position.

Li Jiancheng deliberately wanted to replace Li Shentong and cut off Li Shimin's arm.

Li Yuanji heard Li Yuan's question, although he was reluctant to go to Hebei, but in order not to let Li Yuan look down on him, he still stubbornly said: "The child is willing to serve his father and the emperor." ”

Li Yuan listened to Li Yuanji's tone, and said solemnly: "There is Li Chongjiu in Youzhou, Liu Heimin in Hebei, and Yu Wenhua in Hanoi, which of these three is easy, and the children can see it easily, if you are replaced, how many heads do you have." ”

Hearing that Li Yuan was smiling, his face suddenly changed, Li Yuanji lowered his head at the moment, and even Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De, who had been talking and laughing on the side, were also slightly panicked, and their faces were discolored.

Pei said quietly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is also a heart for the country, so you don't have to blame him." ”

Li Yuan said coldly: "It's good to have this heart, but I don't measure myself, I thought that after the defeat of Mergezhou, he would eat a trench and grow wise, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng said: "Yuanji, what else do you have to say now, King Huai'an is also something you can say behind your back." ”

"Father, Prince, Yuan Ji knows that he is wrong." Li Yuanji lowered his head at the moment.

Li Jiancheng glanced at Zhang Jieyu, Zhang Jieyu raised a cup of drink, stepped forward with a smile and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, such a big fire scares the children, come and drink a cup of drink to dissipate your anger." ”

Li Yuan smiled at Zhang Jieyu, took the drink, and said: "However, although the King of Huai'an can be trusted, when it comes to ability, he is indeed not the opponent of Liu Heimin, Li Chongjiu and other heroes. But at present, the people of the world have been preparing to attack the eastern capital, except for the people of the world, Li Tang, there is no other person who can lead the army, and he can replace the king of Huai'an. ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Why don't you transfer the king of Hejian County?" ”

Li Yuan immediately said: "Xiaogong can't move. ”

Li Jiancheng said the names of several generals again, and Li Yuan shook his head.

Li Jiancheng said at the moment: "Father said that the only way to do it is to let Sanniang go into battle again." ”

"Sanniang?" Li Yuan did not object at the first time.

Li Jiancheng was overjoyed in his heart and said, "What does my father think." ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "If it weren't for it, I wouldn't want Sanniang to go to the battlefield again." ”

"Father, what is the reason for this?" Li Yuanji said, "At the beginning of the battle in Hedong, there was only the third sister, and she fought on a par with the Youzhou army. ”

Li Jiancheng also went further and said: "Father, the child also thinks it's okay, the third sister is your daughter, and you will hand over the military power of Hebei to him, what else are you worried about?" ”

Pei Lin also said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that what the prince and King Qi said is very reasonable. ”

Li Yuan said: "Don't say it again, let me think about this matter again." ”
