Chapter 689: King Qin is resealed
At this moment, the world is in an uproar.
The Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty rose up together and competed in the Central Plains.
Huangwang Huangchao's 300,000 troops approached Luoyang, Zhu Wen led 50,000 soldiers and horses to sweep Song and Bian, and Ge Congzhou led 50,000 soldiers and horses to sweep Ying.
The Tang Dynasty Hall was frightened, and issued twelve holy decrees in succession to dispatch Luoyang Cui Anqian, Du Xian, and Zhang Zimian to retreat into Tongguan and guard the gate of Chang'an.
Zhongwu Xuzhou Zhou Qi, Caizhou Qin Zongquan, and Chenzhou Lu Yanhong each defended themselves in one state and avoided the war.
Wang Chongrong, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Hezhong, set off another rebellion, and drove away the second imperial court envoy within a year, claiming to stay behind and control Hezhong.
The Tianping Army Jiedu made Cao Quanhui lead the army to defeat Huang Chao in Sizhou, and the Taining Army Jiedu made Qi Kerang be defeated by Huang Chao in Ruzhou.
The probation army and the Xuanwu army are afraid and dare not come out!
The Central Plains is eroded, and no one can stop the yellow nest.
Huangchao swept Henan, and the four towns of Hebei were not willing to be lonely and began to attack everywhere. King Zhao Wang Jian Chong ordered the Chengde army to storm the four prefectures of Yichang Army Cang, Jing, De and Di, and Wei King Han Jian ordered Wei Bo's army to divide into two routes, all the way to attack the Zhaoyi army in Xing and Wei Erzhou south of Taihang, and all the way to cross the Yellow River and attack Tianping Army Puzhou.
For a time, the smoke was exhausted, and the troops were constantly fighting everywhere, and all the armies came out together, taking advantage of this chaos and wanting to seize more territory.
During this period of time, the rebel kings sent troops on the one hand, and watched cautiously on the other.
Whether it is the court, the local officials or the local government, as well as the anti-king, they are all attacking fiercely, and they are still cautiously looking to the east.
"Where are the soldiers and horses of the king of Andong County, why didn't he immediately attack Youzhou, and why did he withdraw from Changping?" Some people lamented it. If Li Jing sticks to Changping. Take advantage of the situation to attack the military capital. If you take this pass, you can cooperate with Li Keyong to surround the Youzhou rebels in Yanzhou and take it in one fell swoop. At that time, the Northeast Army and the Daibei Army entered Youzhou together, and the situation in Hebei could be changed immediately.
"Obviously, the king of Andong County is preparing to send troops from Ziqing, march west along the river, directly rescue the eastern capital, and kill the yellow thieves."
Seeing that the thief army is strong. Countless people are looking forward to the Tang Dynasty generation of famous marshal Anton Junwang sending troops at this time to turn the tide. Although Datang is about to run out, in the eyes of the people of the world, the three-hundred-year-old Datang is still orthodox, Huangchao is a grass thief, and the four towns of Hebei are rebels, and no one wants to see them replace Datang.
And whether it is Huangchao or the four towns of Hebei, they are also extremely afraid of Li Jing's troops at this time. There is Li Jing's previous behavior of sending troops to Youzhou, Hebei, but immediately stopped the attack after capturing Shunzhou, and even withdrew from the Changping Heavy Land. made them faintly expect in their hearts that this time Li Jing could continue to wait and see, and not to make a move.
"Li Jing is not a good bird. This person is extremely ambitious, and he must have the heart to replace Li Tang and stand on his own. Although he has a heavy army and enough food, he likes to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. This time, he will definitely continue to wait and see, so that we can choose a bargain when we and Li Tang have a defeat. ”
"It's best to keep a corner of the place, do you really think that the world will fall into his hands in vain? As long as the Li Tang court can be destroyed this time, then all the towns in the world will be scattered sand, and at that time, the first one will destroy Li Jing. ”
After Huang Chao heard the urgent report from Tanma that Li Jing's soldiers and horses in Liaodong and Ziqing had no change, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a mocking smile: "Li Jing is just a businessman who is good at calculation, and it may be possible to run a town and calculate." But if you are competing for the world, the opportunity is often only for a moment, and once you miss it, you will never have it again. Li Jing, after all, it's still too tender! ”
After Li Jing suddenly attacked Youzhou and quickly captured Shunzhou, he immediately reached an agreement with Liu Yue, and after the news of his withdrawal from Changping reached Chang'an, everyone was shocked.
According to Li Jing's attitudes in the past, Li Jing's withdrawal from Changping this time couldn't help but make the emperors and princes of Chang'an frightened again. Li Jing's actions are very subtle, and he is faintly not taking the court seriously.
Subsequently, some secret agents in Liaodong sent back a message, reporting that Li Jing's withdrawal from Changping was indeed a deal with Liu Yue, and Liu Yue exchanged Huichang County for Changping County after the military capital Guan, and finally exchanged the population of Changping six counties for Li Jing's withdrawal from the army and no longer conscripted.
There was an uproar all over the country.
Tian Lingzi sighed, Li Jing was suspicious and had different intentions.
Yu Cong and others are still defending Li Jing, saying that Li Jing is just waiting for time to attack the rebels at the right time.
Zhang Tai, the general of the right prison guard, also said to the Son of Heaven that Li Jing had just recaptured the land of the five counties of Shunzhou, which was already a great victory. At this time, it must not be easily judged that Li Jingsheng has different intentions, otherwise, it will be a major loss to the imperial court to crusade against the rebellion.
"Li Jing has just recaptured the five counties, and the imperial court should continue to reward and reward them instead of suspicion, and at the same time send someone to Li Jing to send a decree to summon Li Jing to lead the army from Ziqing to Heji and reinforce the eastern capital. At present, the biggest henchman of the imperial court is no longer the four towns of Hebei, but the Huangchao army near the eastern capital. ”
Although Li Yi was dissatisfied with Li Jing's increasingly uncontrollable performance, he also knew at this time that as long as Li Jing did not really rebel for a day, then the imperial court still needed Li Jing.
"Immediately issue an edict to reward the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Province, all the soldiers who attacked Youzhou this time were all promoted to the first rank, and the decree was issued, and King Li Jing Qi was added, and the King of Zhao Qi immediately led the army to reinforce the Eastern Capital!"
No matter how the government and the opposition are domineering Li Jing in the northeast, the imperial court urgently needs Li Jing's soldiers and horses to relieve the siege for the imperial court. Li Yi has always been reluctant to be crowned the king of Li Jing, and at this time he finally ordered the king of Qi to be crowned.
Not only is the king of one word sealed, but one is the king of Qi who is directly sealed in the third place among the king of one word.
In the Tang Dynasty, the king of one word is the respect of the prince.
The ranking of princes in the Tang Dynasty, the general name of the country comes from the name of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period, with the four titles of "Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu" being the most noble, because the country represented by these four titles was the most powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, followed by "Zhou, Lu, Zhao, Wei, Liang, Yan, Dai, Han, Song, Wu, Yue" and other first-grade titles. At the beginning, Tang Gaozu was called the emperor, and his three sons-in-law, the eldest son Li Jiancheng became the crown prince, the second son Li Shimin was the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji was the king of Qi.
The imperial court sent the fastest messenger to Liaodong, and in order to be safe, the imperial court sent three holy decrees to Liaodong in a day.
As a result, he waited for several days, but did not get the news to return, but Huangchao took another step, and the Hebei rebels began to move frequently.
Li Yi, who was anxious about waiting, issued another holy decree to seal Li Jing as the king of Jin and give ten thousand households food seals.
Three days later, the first sent messengers returned to Chang'an, bringing Li Jing to receive the order, but there was no reply from the state.
At this time, the Zhongwu army was in chaos, the Hezhong army was in chaos, the Tianping army was defeated, the Taining army was defeated, Huangchao captured Ruzhou, and the Chengde army and Wei Bojun began to show their hideous minions and pounced on the surrounding imperial states.
Li Yi almost gritted his silver teeth, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and issued two holy decrees again.
One is to crown Li Jing as King Qin, and the other is to make the Luoyang defenders retreat to Tongguan.
There are five clans crowned by the Tang Dynasty court, but only Li Shimin is the king of Qin. If today's son has actually taken out the title of King Qin and sealed it to Li Jing, it can be seen how much panic the court has at this time.
Some people sighed, thinking that once this title is awarded, then in the future, either Li Jing will successfully usurp the throne and become the founding emperor of a country. Or, it will never end well.
Li Yi issued an order to add Li Jing to the prince of Qin, and the will was transmitted to Liaodong, Li Jing was stunned, and hurriedly thanked him.
As a result, Li Yi immediately issued several wills in succession, insisting on giving Li Jing the title of King of Qin, and giving Li Jing's mother the title of Mrs. Qi and Li Jing's wife to the title of Mrs. Lu Guo.
Before and after, a series of eighteen holy decrees were given, Li Jing was crowned the king of Qin, and Li Jing was transferred to send troops.
"Ha Lu Haha" Hebei Sizhen and Huang Chao and others heard that the emperor had issued orders again and again, and had crowned Li Jing as the king of Qin, when Li Jing still did not send troops, they all laughed more than once, from their point of view, Li Jing didn't even want a word king, and even the king of Qin, the most noble prince who represented many meanings, was not accepted, so it must be bigger. Li Jing clearly wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and didn't want to care about the life or death of Datang. A famous general who does not send troops, for them, is the best Tang Dynasty general.
"I really don't know if Lu Dao said that Li Jing is too smart or too stupid, he actually missed this opportunity, the opportunity is gone, and he will regret it in the future." The anti-kings from all walks of life were determined and began to command the army to attack with confidence.
And the military leaders of the other towns in Datang also smelled a very bad smell. Li Jing, the marshal with elite soldiers in his hands, actually refused to accept the reward from the imperial court at this time, did he not plan to send troops?
Gao Biao of Huainan had already gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses in Tianchang and was preparing to go north, but seeing this situation, he also began to delay the order to send troops. Gao Biao refused to send troops, and Zhou Gao, Liu Hanhong, and others across the river also supported the troops.
"Immediately contact the four towns of Hebei, this time, we must unite and destroy the little emperor in Luoyang and Chang'an City first." Huang Chao looked back at the endless army behind him, and his heart was full of pride. I couldn't help but gently recite the poem when I left Chang'an.
When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom.
The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.
The Four Anti-Kings of Hebei faced the envoy of Huangchao and quickly agreed to an agreement.
The five families united against the Tang Dynasty, first broke Luoyang, and then went down to Chang'an, and pulled the emperor off the dragon chair together.
Although this agreement does not say who will be the main one, nor does it say who will be the emperor in the future. But it is clear to everyone that this agreement is only to unify the goals, prevent the two sides from clashing, and have the same goals against the Don. As for who will sit in the future, this matter will be discussed in the future.
Anyway, now Datang's territory is very big, whoever has the ability can just fight!
Huang Chao even agreed with the Four Anti-Kings that whoever can defeat Luoyang first will become the alliance of the five families.
"Since Li Jing, Gao Biao and the others can't shrink back, Li Tang loses his deer, and the five kings will compete!" After reaching an agreement, the Five Anti-Kings once again intensified their attacks! (To be continued......)
