August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Jing officially renamed Youzhou City Yanjing, and moved the Northeast Daxingtai to Yanjing. On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, officials from Shangshu Province, the Cabinet, the General Staff Yuan, the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, the Supervision Department, the Department of Justice, and the Procuratorate held an open-air meeting in the suburbs of Yanjing.

At the meeting, Shangshu Gaiyu of the Daxing Taiwan Officials Department read out Li Jing's signed order, announcing the formation of Xiaowu and other eight armies, and conferring Guo Chongtao and other eight generals as military masters. At the same time, a large number of former Shatuo and Lulong officers were appointed to military posts in the new army, and at the same time, it was announced that officials from various prefectures and counties in the northern parallel provinces, Hebei provinces, and Shandong provinces would be transferred and appointed. At the same time, a series of new decrees were announced, and the three provinces of Beiping, Hebei, and Shandong were exempted from agricultural taxes for one year.

Subsequently, Li Jing personally read out the edict of the Son of Heaven delivered from Chengdu.

The edict of the Son of Heaven added Li Jing as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses to fight against thieves. In addition, Li Jing previously asked the emperor for the title of general of the Qin army, and the case was approved.

The Holy Decree enshrined Li Jing as the King of Qin, and Li Jing and the following four people, Cui Yunqing, Lin Wei, Wang Chong, and Li Zhen, were the princes of the country. Nine people, including Wang Pu, Lin Wu, Pei You, and Li Juyi, were county dukes, and 36 people including Jingxiang, Gai Yu, Guo Chengan, and Liu Xun were added as the founding marquis. Under it, seventy-two founding uncles, one hundred and eight founding sons, and three hundred and sixty founding men were added. Among the Qin Domain, from Li Jing onwards, civil and military officials were all knighted.

In the edict of the Son of Heaven, Li Jing has already been recorded in the royal family tree, according to the royal family genealogy, Li Jing belongs to the fourth son of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Wei Huai Wang Xuanba, according to generation. Li Jing is the uncle of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, in this edict, the Son of Heaven specifically called Li Jing the emperor's uncle.

Although everyone in the world knows that Li Jing is not the queen of the Li royal family, it is just that the imperial court included Li Jing in the genealogy of the Li Tang royal family in order to capture Li Jing's heart. Now that the Son of Heaven is bringing up the old things again, based on this, I don't know how he deduced that Li Jing's royal family was actually his uncle, and he came up to call Li Jing's uncle. Obviously, this is just trying to use this to entrap Li Jing.

However, after this edict was read out in front of a group of soldiers and civilians in the suburbs, the effect was still good. Immediately the military and civilians in the suburbs. Everyone calls Li Jing the emperor's uncle.

In the edict of the Son of Heaven, Li Jing's mother, wife and children were also sealed. Li Jing now has eighteen sons, of which the eldest son is the king of Lanling County, and the remaining seventeen sons are all named county dukes. It's really a big reward for not wanting money.

After the angel from Chengdu read the edict. The golden guard of honor given by the Son of Heaven will be brought all the way. Huang Yue. With gold as decoration, it was used by ancient emperors and used as a ceremonial guard in later generations. Lent it to the minister with Huang Yue. That is, it represents the emperor's exercise of the right to conquer. There are many kinds of envoys of the imperial court, and there are no rights to dispose of people in peacetime, and people who violate military orders can be killed in wartime. Holding festivals: In peacetime, you can kill people who have no official position, and in wartime, you can kill officials below the fifth rank. Envoys: In peacetime and wartime, officials below the fifth rank can be killed. Fake Huang Yue: can kill the festival will (including false festival, holding the festival, and making the festival).

Fake Huang Yue can be said to be extremely powerful. At the time of the opening of the Tang Dynasty, after Gaozu Li Yuan controlled Chang'an, he used the puppet emperor to give himself the position of fake Huang Yue, and then added a series of official positions, such as the prime minister, Xiangguo, and Jiuxi, until the last Yang Youchan gave up the throne.

The fake Huang Yue has such a desired name, but the Son of Heaven now asks people to add it to Li Jing, and he also adds Li Jing's Shangshu order, and adds a big character to the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, becoming the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and leading all the soldiers and horses in the world, and supervising the military inside and outside. It can be said that I am already a little panicked. Especially for the post of Shangshuling, the Shangshuling of the central court and the Shangshuling of Daxingtai are not the same.

Only Li Shimin served as the central secretary of the Tang Dynasty, and although the emperor later also sealed Guo Ziyi, Guo always refused to accept it. Now that such an inhuman minister is given to Li Jing, you can already know the situation of the Son of Heaven who is far away in Chengdu at this time.

is Shang Shuling again, the generalissimo, and the fake Huang Yue, and he also took the initiative to call Uncle Li Jinghuang, which is amazing.

However, after these titles and titles were read out from the edict, the effect was indeed very great. Although Li Jing didn't care too much about this, he clearly knew that Lu Dao had soldiers and territory in his hands, and that was everything. But for stabilizing the hearts of the people of Hebei at this time, these titles are still very important. Without these, Li Jing was just attacking the feudal towns of Lulong Town, but with these, Li Jing officially represented the Tang Dynasty. No matter how weak Li Tang is at this time, the name of righteousness is still there, and he is still the co-master of the world.

After the edict was read, the Qin army arranged a small but shocking military parade. For Li Jing, holding a military parade from time to time to show his powerful military strength to the officials and people in the newly occupied areas has always been very effective.

The neat and uniform infantry phalanx, the bright and shiny solid armor, the magnificent and galloping cavalry troops, as well as the ballista firearms that broke the mountains and broke the ground, shook the earth and shook the earth, and the people from all walks of life in Youzhou who watched the parade in the suburbs did not look at each other and were shocked in their hearts.

And the spies in the crowd of onlookers who were sent by all parties to infiltrate, after watching the momentum of the Qin army, were also uneasy in their hearts for a long time, and they wondered how to return the sharp and careful report of the Qin army.

For a whole day, the edict of the Son of Heaven was announced in the morning, the officials were promoted to knighthood, and in the afternoon there was a grand and grand military parade. In the evening, it was announced that the rewards for the soldiers of the whole army were announced, and all the officials and officials also had a rich reward, and even the ordinary people of Youzhou were all rewarded with two buckets of rice per person.

At night, Youzhou City can't help but Jinwu, and even set up a lantern market fireworks night market, which is very lively.

The worries after the war were swept away, and there was jubilation in Youzhou.

Li Jing and the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou had a happy day, until they returned home in the middle of the night, and Cao Ye, Li Zhen and a group of strategists entered the meeting.

"The Son of Heaven recognizes the marshal as his uncle, and this is to urge the marshal to send troops to serve the king." Luoyang and Chang'an fell one after another, and then the generals of Xuanwu, Zhongwu, Hezhong, and Fengxiang also fell into the pseudo-Qi camp.

Now the towns in the world are either attacking each other, or they are waiting and watching, and it is not without those who are willing to work hard for the king. But most of them are powerless. The one who really has this ability to deal with Huang Chao is now the strongest in Li Jing's Qin Domain. It's just that although Li Jing sent troops to Henan before, after seizing the three towns of Tianping, Taining, and Probation, he saw that he had already bordered Huangchao, but Li Jing gave up Tianping and Song Hua and other states and handed them over to Yu Xuan Xinyan and others. Then, defeating Gao Yu, Huang Chaobu took the opportunity to attack Xu Su at that time. Originally, the Son of Heaven and others were looking forward to a fire between Li Jing and Huang Chao. Who knew that Li Jing left after the next Suzhou, and Xuzhou was besieged but not attacked, and there was no fight until now.

Li Jing didn't want to fight the Yellow Nest, but the Son of Heaven, who was far away in Chengdu, wanted Li Jing to fight the Yellow Nest. Li Jing doesn't fight the Yellow Nest. Even if the Son of Heaven is in Changdu, he can't feel at ease. But he has fled to Chengdu. There's no better place to escape.

On the one hand, he gave Li Jing an official and was promoted to the knighthood. On the one hand, he is also known as Li Jing's uncle, and he also wants to impress Li Jing with his feelings.

Li Jing shook his head, "So-and-so is very sober now. will not run to fight with Huang Chao because of a sentence of Uncle Huang. Our focus is still on Hebei, and this will not change in the short term. ”

After Qin Jun successfully took over Youzhou, he has not made any major moves recently. Previously, Li Jing transferred 20,000 cavalry and Li Congwei's 10,000 righteous troops to Yizhou to relieve the siege. Li Quanzhong got these 30,000 reinforcements, and he suddenly came back to life. Li Keyong learned of the defeat of the military capital Guan Shatuo in Yizhou, not only losing more than 10,000 men and horses, but also more importantly, even Guo Chongtao and Liu Rengong, Li Cunxin and Shi Jingsi, the four generals fell into the hands of Li Jing, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

He handed over the soldiers and horses of Yizhou to the generals Kang Junli and Li Kexiu and Li Sizhao, and personally led 5,000 cavalry to return to Ulzhou along the Flying Fox Road, and then went north into Yanzhou, where he joined Liu and Li Siyuan, and regathered 40,000 horses, wanting to take the military capital again.

However, at this time, Li Jing had already sent 20,000 horses to the military capital Guan, and Yang Shihou and Fu Cun had 30,000 horses to defend the military capital Guan Jiancheng, although Li Keyong personally attacked. But after three days of bloody fighting, only nearly 10,000 corpses were left. If it weren't for the persuasion of Liu and Li Siyuan, Li Keyong, who was furious, would definitely continue to attack, and the cost would definitely be even greater.

In the end, Li Ke lost his troops and had to lead his troops back to Yanzhou. On the same day, Yang Shihou led 5,000 flying cavalry troops out of the city at night to pursue, and attacked the retreating Li Keyong camp, which once killed Li Keyong's Chinese army, and the Shatuo soldiers were in chaos. At the critical time, if it weren't for the arrival of the 5,000 women's battalion stationed a few miles away by the Liu family, Li Keyong almost capsized in the gutter. Fortunately, Liu led the female soldiers to block the decline, and Li Keyong was able to regather his men and horses and fight back. Yang Shihou had few soldiers after all, and he was counterattacked by the Shatuo people after the most reluctant, and fought until dawn, and Fu Cun, who had not seen him for a long time, led the army to respond and rescued Yang Shihou, who had been surrounded by the anti-rebellion.

Although Yang Shihou killed at least 5,000 Shatuo soldiers last night, only half of his 5,000 light cavalry returned to the pass, and the losses were extremely heavy, and even the men and horses that Fu Cun went to meet also lost thousands.

Li Ke didn't take advantage of this night, he didn't expect the Qin army to dare to attack at night, and he was caught off guard. The most important thing is that in addition to his 5,000 men and horses in the army at that time, most of the rest belonged to the second-line troops, not the elite of Shatuo, otherwise they would not have been beaten with a small number of people, and they would have been beaten into chaos. Although the Liu clan curbed the decline and counterattacked back. But after the last day, more than 5,000 people were still killed, and thousands were slightly injured, even Li Siyuan's general An Xiuxiu was also killed by an arrow in the melee, and Li Keyong was even hit by an arrow in his left arm, and after the battle, one arm was swollen as thick as a thigh. In this battle, it can be said that the morale was exhausted, and Li Keyong had to hurriedly retreat to the city of Yanzhou.

On the Yizhou side, without Li Keyong in charge, after Li Quanzhong received 30,000 reinforcements, he and the Qin army generals Guo Shunli, Guo Zhenshan, and Li Congwei attacked the Shatuo army inside and outside. The two sides fought in Yizhou for three days and three nights, the Yiwu soldiers could not support it, and took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield, Kang Junli seized the opportunity to release a 5,000-strong cavalry reserve at the end of the Lu, and pursued the Yiwu army Li Quanzhong's department.

As a result, halfway through the chase, Sha Tuo's pursuers got into the ambush circle of 20,000 infantry of Pei You's department, which was secretly sent to the aid of the second Qin army, and then Li Quanzhong also turned back to kill, and suddenly Kang Junli's most elite 5,000 reserve cavalry was killed, half of the soldiers and horses were slaughtered, and only less than half of them escaped.

The Qin army and the Yiwu army took the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, the Shatuo army was defeated and fled, which quickly led to the collapse of the entire front, the battle to the fifth day, Shatuo nearly 40,000 horses lost almost half, most of the Yizhou occupied the city and was recaptured by Li Quanzhong, the last only three cities left in the Flying Fox Pass were still in control, 20,000 horses hid in the three cities, the turtle could not retreat, each other was the strength of the horns, supported each other, but also barely stopped the rout, held the three counties of Yizhou.

On behalf of the Qin army, Guo Shunli proposed to Li Quanzhong to counterattack Dingzhou instead of continuing to attack the three counties of Yizhou. Although Li Quanzhong did not want to be enemies on all sides, and Wang Jingchong also intended to make peace with Li Quanzhong at this time, and was even willing to return half of Dingzhou to Li Quanzhong. However, Wang Jingchong's envoy was captured by the Qin Army's Military Intelligence Bureau, Guo Shunli killed Wang Jingchong's envoy, and sent people to raid a city on the border of Yiding under the guise of a marching army, and robbed a batch of money and grain. In the end, Li Quanzhong moved for Guo Shunli's words, turned around and went south with the Qin army to attack Dingzhou.

With the assistance of the Qin army, Li Quanzhong quickly recaptured six of the eleven counties in Dingzhou. Seeing that with more effort, Dingzhou could be recaptured, but at this time, Guo Shunli of the Qin army suddenly used the lack of grain and grass as an excuse to evacuate Dingzhou and return to Hejian. At this time, the Chengde army also launched a wave of counteroffensive in a timely manner, and in the end, the two armies of Chengde and Yiwu formed a confrontation situation, each accounting for half of Dingzhou, Li Quanzhong occupied six counties, and Wang Jingchong occupied five counties.

The current Li Quanzhong in Yiwu Town is a little immortal, although with the assistance of the Qin army, he finally survived under the attack of Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong. But the situation is now very unoptimistic. The swallowed Lulong Town originally got Youzhuo Erzhou, and now Youzhou has been returned to Li Jing. In fact, he only got a Zhuozhou, but because he swallowed Lu Long, the war caused by it made his fundamental Yiwu Town almost unsafe. Up to now, there are still three counties in Yizhou in Li Keyong's hands, and there are still five counties in Dingzhou in Wang Jingchong's hands.

Looking back, what made Li Quanzhong even more uncomfortable was that after this, Yiwu Town's vitality was greatly damaged, and even his former allies were offended. Now, with this little bit of people left, and this ruined territory, he can't beat anyone, and after the end, he suddenly found that he has unknowingly become Li Jing's little brother.

Without Li Jing's support, with his current strength, he wouldn't even be able to keep this bit of territory, and Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong would be able to swallow him at any time. But Li Jing, how can he be a good person?

Li Jing will never be a good person, Li Quanzhong knows very well, what he can't figure out now is how long Yiwu Town can last like this?

In other words, how much use value does Yiwu Town have for Li Jing? (To be continued......)
