In October of the fourth year of Qianfu, Li Jing made a thunderous attack, annihilated the troops and horses of Wang Jingwu, the deputy envoy of Ziqing Jiedu, in one fell swoop, seized the entire territory of Ziqing, and completely controlled Ziqing Town. After Li Jing defeated Wang Jingwu, he immediately found some of the most famous pens in Dengzhou and wrote an article on the numerous crimes committed by Wang Jingwu after he became the deputy ambassador of Ziqing, and gave evidence of the crimes one by one. Li Jing said that as the envoy of Ziqing Town, it is an unshirkable responsibility to maintain the tranquility of the people of Ziqing, and Wang Jingwu, a rebel general, has the obligation and responsibility to eradicate such rebellious ministers for the imperial court.

Li Jing published the letter to the world, and at the same time sent an envoy to Chang'an to report to the emperor.

The world shook for a while, and many people praised Li Jing's actions. said that Wang Jingwu was a traitor, and he should not be appointed after the last capture. The hundred miles he made in Ziqing Town were uninhabited, the sky was angry and people were resentful, and Li Jing sent troops to wipe him out, which was exactly what he should. There are many people who hold this attitude, especially after some people in various places preach the crimes committed by Wang Jingwu and preach the comparison of half of Ziqing governed by Li Jing, there are more people who support Li Jing.

Of course, some people immediately took advantage of this to attack Li Jing, saying that Li Jing was tyrannical and attacked the imperial army and officials, which was a treason. He wanted the imperial court to crusade against Li Jing, a rebel general who supported the army and respected himself and divided one side.

In the court, Lu Xian and Tian Lingzi proposed that Li Jing's measures were inappropriate and wanted to impeach Li Jing. However, there are many manpower in the DPRK and China to protect Li Jing. For example, Xiangguo Yu Cong, Zheng Jin, Wang Duo, Li Wei, etc. all stood on Li Jing's side. There are even such as Cui Anqian, the new secretary of the Ministry of Officials in Beijing, etc. He also supported Li Jing in the DPRK. In turn, Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian were impeached for their improper handling of Wang Jingwu last time, which caused Ziqing to suffer a heavy blow.

Song Wei, who was recuperating in Beijing, also contacted many local commanders, such as Zheng Congyan, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, Yu Xuan, the deputy envoy of the Zhenwu Jiedu, the deputy envoy of the Datong Jiedu, Du Xian, the defense envoy of the Eastern Capital of Jidu, Li Zhuo, the envoy of the Heyang Jiedu, Cui Yunqing, the envoy of the Zhennan Army, and Kang Chengyu, the envoy of the Lingnan West Dao, and so on, to support Li Jing.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion and quarrels between the DPRK and China.

However, before they could compete for a result, the deputy ambassador of Huainan Jiedu and the governor of Jiedu played again. It is said that Li Jing sent troops to attack coastal states and counties pretending to be pirates, robbing people and property. said that Li Jing had rebelled, and asked the imperial court to convict Li Jing of rebellion, and allowed him to send troops with various towns to crusade against Li Jing.

However, Li Jing also immediately folded to Chang'an, saying that Gao Yu and others had robbed the goods of the people and merchants under the Zhenguo Army, Ziqing Town, and Andong Dadu Protectorate, and asked the imperial court to uphold justice.

The local grievances between Li Jing and Gao Biao, two famous generals of the imperial court, triggered a struggle between Tian Lingzi and Zhang Tai, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and other great eunuchs in Chang'an. At the same time, Lu Xian and Zheng Zheng and other political ministers also took advantage of this matter to fight for the party in the palace. It's a lot of fun.

For a while, there was a miasma, because Li Jing and Gao Biao had a transcendent status. One is the first county king with a different surname since the Three Dynasties, plus he has a heavy army, he has just captured the Liaodong Peninsula and destroyed Wang Jingwu. And the other is also a famous general for many years, the grandson of the king of the county, and the queen of the famous family of Bohai. Just carrying the credit of defeating the invasion of Nanzhao, after returning to the Central Plains, he was re-elected as the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu and the deputy ambassador of Huainan Jiedu in a short period of time, and defeated the grass thieves. Now it is in control of the wealth of the southeast, and it has both military and financial power, which should not be underestimated.

The two famous generals have a strong alliance in each of them, and for a while, no one can deal with anyone.

However, when the DPRK and China were fighting each other, Huangchao, who entered Lingnan from Fujian, was unwilling to be lonely and made a big move.

After Huang Chaobing besieged the city of Guangzhou, he did not immediately attack the city, but asked Cui Xuan, the captured former observer of eastern Zhejiang, to write a letter to Li Yuan, the newly arrived envoy of the Lingnan Eastern Province who had been trapped in the lonely city of Guangzhou, and asked Li Yuan to write to the imperial court through this channel, claiming that as long as the imperial court actually granted him the Tianping Jiedu envoy, and let him keep the army, he would return to his hometown. Then he gave up attacking Canton and reconciled with the imperial court.

Huang Chao asked the court to surrender, but he also felt confused about the future. It has been almost four years since the army was raised, and they have fought thousands of miles back and forth, but in the end there is not even a place to stay. Wang Xianzhi, Shang Junchang, Wang Chongyin, Tang Ju, Cao Shixiong and other grass thief leaders were exterminated one after another.

First rushed from the Central Plains to Jianghuai, from Jianghuai to Shannan, from Shannan to Jiangdong, and recently to the poor mountains and bad waters in Lingnan. What particularly pressured him was that there was Li Jing's killing god in the past, so he didn't dare to stand in the Central Plains, and now there is Gao Yu, the killing god, sitting in the southeast and serving as the commander. Whether it is Li Jing or Gao Yu, he and Cao Jun are not opponents at all. Every time it was a fight, it was a defeat, especially the last time I fought with Gao Biao, after a few battles, more than a dozen generals of the grass army surrendered to Gao Biao.

From Fujian to Lingnan, although Huangchao gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, he had little confidence in his heart. Taking advantage of the fact that he has a little capital in his hand now, Huang Chao finally wants to recruit peace from the imperial court. If the imperial court can let him go back to his hometown as an envoy and keep the soldiers and horses, it is better than fleeing around like now.

After all, after Wang Jingwu was captured, he also became a deputy ambassador and retained his soldiers and horses. He thought that now that he had 100,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and he threatened the emperor's money bag, the emperor should always talk to him.

When this letter arrived in Chang'an, the political hall, which was already lively because of Li Jing and Gao Piao, caused an unprecedented fierce quarrel. The two leaders of the quarrel are, of course, Lu Xi and Zheng Jin, two cousins.

Everyone simply put down the inconclusive quarrel between Li Jing and Gao Yu, and instead quarreled about this matter again.

Zheng Zheng agreed to recruit Huangchao, saying: "The root cause of the Huangchao rebellion is that the country has suffered a famine, and a large number of hungry people are unable to make a living. And the country has not used soldiers for a long time, and the soldiers have forgotten how to fight, and the commanders of the feudal towns and towns all over the country have no intention of exterminating the thieves, and only sweep the snow in front of their own doors, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others. In the current situation, it is better to tolerate Huang Chao for the time being, perfunctory to meet his requirements, let him be restrained, and do not attack the city and plunder the land. Once the harvest comes, the hungry people under his command will naturally fall apart and go home separately. You can surrender without a fight! He said this. Intentionally or unintentionally, alluding to Gao Biao after he was promoted to the capital. But he didn't care about the thief, but went to rob Li Jing's goods.

In this regard, Lu Xi's reaction was the same as always, and he opposed anything that Zheng Zheng supported.

In particular, the meaning of Zheng Jin's words also pointed to Gao Biao's dereliction of duty, but Gao Biao was supported by him. At this time, if he accepted Zhao'an, wouldn't he admit Gao Yu's dereliction of duty, and his faction would naturally be hit. Therefore. Lu Xi is resolutely opposed to Zhao'an. "There is a high-ranking general who is slightly unmatched, and the elite generals under his command, what is the difficulty in dealing with that little Kou in Huangchao? How can you show weakness and frustrate the enthusiasm of the soldiers from all over the world to serve the country? ”

Zheng Ji disagreed, thinking that Gao Biao was just a reckless man who only knew how to fight for power and profit, just like a three-legged chair, unreliable.

The more the two talked, the more stiff they became, Lu Xian was at a disadvantage, and Lu Xian, who was angry and swollen, shook his sleeves fiercely. As a result, an inkstone on the case was brushed to the ground and broken into several pieces. And the ink also splashed the two Xiangguo all over their bodies.

The battle between the two Xiangguo was so fierce that Wang Duo Xiangguo, who was ranked third, took the opportunity to go to meet the sixteen-year-old Son of Heaven and said the matter again.

Of course, Li Yi knew about the current quarrel between the court and the middle, and before Gao Yu and Li Jing were different from each other, not only the ministers of the political affairs hall were involved, but even the big eunuchs in the harem were also involved. As a result, he, the emperor, was also forced to get involved, which made him very annoying.

Before Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian visited Li Jing in front of him, saying that Li Jing was how he was, he would issue an order to condemn Li Jing and send troops to crusade against Li Jing. This made the emperor a little dissatisfied, he didn't care about the fights between Li Jing and Gao Yu, but Li Jing's annual tribute was never small. From this point alone, he is more inclined to Li Jing's side.

Now Huang Chao has surrounded Guangzhou, the only place where the emperor has more money, after the emperor's already decreasing income. A large amount of his inner treasury is about to be gone, and the two Xiangguo are still arguing and splashing ink on each other, which really disappoints him.

Just after gambling on the goose and adding a large sum of money, Li Yu, who was depressed, said angrily: "The dignified prime minister is scolding the street in the political affairs hall, how can he be an example for hundreds of officials?" After finishing speaking, he ruthlessly dismissed Lu Xi and Zheng Ji as guests of the prince at the same time. Then asked Zhang Tai beside him, "Who can be the prime minister in the DPRK?" ”

Zhang Tai immediately said the names of several ministers who had a good relationship with him, and the emperor was already a little impatient after hearing a few names, and immediately promoted the remembered Dou Lu Yao and Cui Xin to Tongping Zhangshi, and the lack of Lu and Zheng Erxiang.

Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but no one expected that the young son of heaven would step in sideways and directly exempt the two prime ministers. This result was not even expected by Tian Lingzi and Ximen Sigong, the backstage of the two Xiangguo, and when they heard the news, it was irretrievable.

However, Doulu Xiangguo and Cui Xiangguo were unexpectedly happy, and they were suddenly promoted to prime ministers and entered the political hall.

Huang Chao didn't know that the court of Ludao had laid off the two prime ministers because of his affairs, and when he saw that he couldn't wait for a reply, he couldn't sit still and lowered the price.

After the newly appointed Doulu Xiangguo and Cui Xiangguo and several other ministers discussed, Huang Chao was given the official position of leading the government of the fourth grade, and asked to disband the army and take office in Chang'an.

Huang Chao looked forward to the stars and the moon, but when he finally waited for a non-existent farewell like the rate of the house, he was finally as angry as when Chang'an fell. Enraged, Huang Chao ordered an attack on Guangzhou, and after only one day of fierce fighting, Huang Chao broke through Guangzhou and captured Li Yuan, the envoy of Jiedu. Huang Chao then ordered the whole city to be sacked, and after the 100,000 grass army robbed Guangzhou, they slaughtered 200,000 people, including 120,000 people alone.

The whole of Guangzhou is bleeding for Huang Chao's anger!

The news was transmitted back to Chang'an, causing a lot of shock. Wang Duo, who had previously made a statement to the emperor that caused Lu Xi and Zheng Ji to be laid off, was unable to enter the prime minister afterwards, and he was extremely disappointed. This time, when he saw the fall of Guangzhou, he immediately went to find the Son of Heaven again, and said a lot of bad things about Gao Biao to the Son of Heaven, saying that he was derelict in his duties and so on.

The emperor was heartbroken that he had lost a large amount of money, and when he heard this, he immediately hated and ordered the dismissal of Gao Biao from his official position as the commander of the troops and horses of the Dao Xing Battalion. Wang Duo recommended himself to Emperor Mao Sui and asked to take up the post of commander of soldiers and horses. Li Yi originally wanted Li Jing to hold this position, but Wang Duo said that the king of Andong County was using troops in western Liaoxi and could not be separated, and he was willing to share his worries for the emperor.

Li Yi was a little moved when he heard this, so he ordered Wang Duo to replace Gao Biao and serve as the commander of the Zhudao camp.

When the news came back to Yangzhou, Gao Yu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and sighed, "Write a letter to Li Jing, and I am willing to talk to him!" ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that they had heard it wrong. When, such a character as tall and handsome, will there be a time to be soft!

However, there were several generals in the hall who had been following Gao Biao's expedition to the east and west, looking at Gao Biao's gloomy face, but suddenly remembered Gao Dashuai's methods of dealing with the general camp when he was guarding Xichuan. Thinking of the original incident, several generals couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts and took a deep breath of cold air. (To be continued......)
