Chapter 660: One Word King, Admiral Tiance

(Xie Lu Xie yebaoyin's support, ask for a monthly pass!) )

In August of the fifth year of Qianfu, it was rumored in Hebei that the Son of Heaven intended to cut the three feudatories in Hebei, and Lu Long, Liu Yue, Li Quanzhong, Wei Bo, Han Jian, and Chengde Wang Jingchong were all worried.

In the same month, the assassins assassinated the Son of Heaven, and under the investigation of the imperial court, all the evidence pointed to the three towns of Hebei Province as the mastermind behind the scenes. When the news reached Hebei, the three feudatories were shaken. Regarding this dirty framing, the three towns even believed that this was the imperial court creating a mouthful, as a name for the teacher.

At the same time, the three towns found that Zheng Congyan of Hedong led the Wufan cavalry to approach Youzhou. And Cui Anqian also gathered troops and horses in Henan, pointing directly at Hebei. In addition, the towns of Dongdu, Heyang, Datong, Hezhong, Zhaoyi, Yicheng and Yiwu are also frequently mobilized.

In addition, Liu Yue detective Ma detected that Li Jing of Liaodong sent an elite cavalry of 10,000 people to cross the Liao River from the east of the Liao River to the west, all the way through the Liaoning West Corridor, and went straight to Youzhou in Guannei.

All kinds of news finally made the three towns believe that the imperial court was really planning a great move, preparing to pacify the three feudatories in one fell swoop.

Under such circumstances, the three feudatories refused to sit idly by and chose to strike first.

At the beginning of September, Li Quanzhong, who controlled Lu Longjun Mo and Yinger Prefecture in Hebei, and Liu Yue, Han Jian, and Wang Jingchong of the Three Towns were about allies, and they agreed to pass on their descendants by land.

Subsequently, Li Quanzhong raided Dingzhou, where the Yiwu army marshal Yacheng was stationed, and at the same time, Liu Yue, Han Jian, and Wang Jingchong also sent troops to help in the battle.

In only ten days, Li Quanzhong, with the help of several generals who had bribed Hou Gu, the envoy of the Yiwu Army, quickly broke through Dingzhou, and then Yizhou was also captured.

Mid-September. Li Quanzhong handed over the Mozhou he had originally controlled to Liu Yue. According to Yi, Ding, and Ying, the three states claimed to be the envoys of the Yiwu Army.

Liu Yue claimed to be the envoy of the Lu Long Army according to You, Fu and Mo.

Chengde Jun Jiedu made Wang Jingchong based on Zhenzhou, Shenzhou, Yizhou, and Zhaozhou. Wei Bojun made Han Jian according to Weizhou, Bozhou, Xiangzhou, Beizhou, Weizhou, and Shanzhou.

The four towns occupied a total of sixteen states and formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

In the same month, the four towns met at the waterside of Hutuo in Shenzhou.

At this meeting, the four towns imitated the alliance of the four towns and called the king, Lu Longjiedu made Liu Yue call himself the king of Yan, the Yiwu army made Li Quanzhong call himself the king of Yi, the Chengde army made Wang Jingchong call himself the king of Zhao, and Wei Bojiedu made Han Jian call himself the king of Wei.

The four towns took the strongest Wei Bojiedu envoy Han Jian as the leader of the alliance and united against the imperial court.

When this news was reported to Chang'an, it immediately caused a panic.

In that year, Dezong cut the domain. As a result, the rebellion of the two emperors and four kings was cut, and even Chang'an was lost, Zhu Zhu was called Emperor Qin according to Chang'an, Li Xilie was called Emperor Chu according to Bian, and Lu Longjiedu made Zhu Tao call himself King of Ji, King Wujun of Chengde called King Zhao, Li Na of Ziqing called King of Qi, and Wei Botian Yue called King of Wei.

If it weren't for the loss of Chang'an later, after almost being killed by Emperor Qin in Fengtian, Dezong changed his strategy, issued an edict, pardoned the towns, and actually accepted the secession of the towns. And then break each one, it's really hard to say who wins and who loses.

Although the most rear. Dezong relied on Li Sheng and other famous generals to kill Emperor Zhu Zhu of Qin, Emperor Li Xilie of Chu, and Li Huaixian of Shuo Fangjiedu. But the ambition to cut the feudal domain was extinguished, Wang Wujun, Li Na, and Tian Yue canceled the title of king, and Dezong pardoned them. Even Huaixi killed Chen Xianqi and Li Xilie and surrendered, and Dezong immediately appointed Chen Xianqi as the envoy of the festival. Subsequently, the Huaixi soldiers and horses made Wu Shaocheng kill Chen Xianqi, and Dezong took Wu as the envoy to stay behind.

Until the time of Xianzong, although it was said that Yuan and Zhongxing, they could only subdue the feudal towns, but could not extinguish them.

Now, the four towns of Hebei called the king rebelled, and the whole Chang'an suddenly shook.

And after receiving this news, Li Yi, Tian Lingzi, Lu Xi and others also suddenly looked extremely ugly.

was just about to start cutting Li Jing's military power, but who knew that it led to a misunderstanding in the three towns of Hebei, and in a blink of an eye, Hebei rebelled, and lost a righteous army.

Regardless of whether Li Yi and others originally planned to cut the three feudatories of Hebei, it is no longer important now, because the three feudatories of Hebei have already directly claimed the king, and it is impossible for the court to crusade without crusading.

In the Zichen Hall of the Inner Dynasty, Li Yi met the ministers publicly for the first time since his assassination.

The emperor's face was a little pale, and the whole person was much haggard. Sitting there, looking a little tired.

When he had previously made his personal decree, he had thought of everything very simply. In his opinion, the imperial court is in full swing at the moment, as long as he goes to Luoyang and orders Li Jing to hand over the military power, Li Jing will not be able to resist the order. When Li Jing handed over the military power and then split the Zhenguo Army, Li Jing could also be used to help him cut off the three feudatories in Hebei and recover the land of Hebei.

But who would have thought that Li Jing agreed to hand over the military power, but there was a problem in Hebei.

The four towns are kings, and the sixteen states are opposed!

"Your Majesty, the top priority at the moment is to immediately deploy troops to extinguish these rebels and thieves, and there must be no half of an estimate. The minister thought that he should immediately dispatch Hedong Zheng Congyan to attack Lu Long, and then use Cui An to attack Wei Bo, and then transfer troops and horses from Luoyang, Heyang, Hezhong, and Yicheng towns to attack Chengde from Zhaoyi. ”

"I don't think it's appropriate." Someone immediately objected, "The minister thought that when the soldiers and horses of Luoyang Heyang, Hezhong Yicheng Zhaoyi and other towns were transferred, they should be under the command of Cui Anqian and form a camp in the south." The towns of Hedong, Datong, Tiande, and Zhenwu formed the northern camp, commanded by Zheng Congyan. Attack from both sides at the same time! ”

Zheng Congyan and Cui Anqian are both Wenchen who are more capable of fighting, and there are also Xin Yan, the deputy envoy of the Datong Army, and Yu Xuan, the Zhenwu Army, in the north. Cui Anqian in the south also has generals like Zhang Zimian.

However, Li Yi had already summoned the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and Tian Lingzi and others to discuss it once in the Yanying Hall yesterday.

The biggest problem now is not that the four towns of Hebei are reversed, nor is it the problem of employing the commanders of the soldiers and horses of the two roads of the imperial court, Zheng, Nan and Cui. Now one of the things that Li Yu and they are most worried about is, after the towns of Hebei are reversed, what kind of attitude will the Zhenguo army in Liaodong and the east of Hedong be?

Previously, Li Jing had promised to hand over the military power and agreed to be transferred to Hebei. But now Hebei is reversed, and the situation is immediately different.

At that time, Li Xilie, the envoy of Huaixi Town, was also the king of Nanping County, who was crowned by Dezong, and recruited envoys from southern Han and northern Han. Later, the imperial court asked Li Xilie to discuss the four towns, and as a result, Li Xilie colluded with the four towns instead, claiming to be the marshal of the world and the king of Jianxing. After attacking Bianzhou, he was called Emperor Chu.

If Li Jing also thinks that the current situation is available, and he also follows the Tang Dynasty, what will he do?

Li Jing is still in the east of Hebei, if he rebels, the strength of the rebel army will increase exponentially, with the power of more than 30 towns. With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is still two to say whether Li Jing can be stopped at that time.

Tian Lingzi and Li Yi are not the only ones who have this worry, almost all other ministers also have this worry.

After all, the imperial court had previously wanted to remove Li Jing's military power, and Li Jing may have felt that he was not much sure of rebelling against the imperial court when he listened to the order. But now that the four towns are in front, the situation is very different.

Prime Minister Dou Lu Peng proposed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king of Andong County should be transferred to lead the troops into the pass to quell the chaos. The Zhenguo army has 200,000 soldiers, and the soldiers are excellent, which is the time to use the troops. If the soldiers of the national army are suppressed, then the imperial court has the army of Zheng, Cui, and Li, even if the four towns of Hebei rebel, they are not afraid. ”

Lu Xian snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid that Li Jing won't listen to the order." ”

All the ministers in the palace understood the meaning of Lu Xian's words, and the previous imperial court issued an order to relieve Li Jing's military power, split the Zhenguo army, and send troops into Liao, which was almost a stab in Li Jing's back. Li Jing didn't directly counter, it was already good. At a time like this, do you still expect Li Jing to be loyal to the imperial court? If he does not take the opportunity to rebel, he is already considered faithful.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that if Li Jing was appeased, it was not impossible to transfer the national army. At the moment, it is imperative to issue an order to give Li Jing a higher position and more rewards, believing that Li Jing should be able to send troops. ”

Xiangguo Yu Cong, who has rarely spoken, said: "Li Jing has split the Zhenguo Army according to the order, how can he still have soldiers and horses." ”

"It could have been split at the beginning, and now it can also be ordered to hand over the command of the soldiers and horses of the five towns to Li Jing again. For example, it is enough to crown Li Jing as a marshal of the five towns. Prime Minister Doulu explained.

Since the beginning of the court meeting, Tian Lingzi has not been silent. Just looked at the ministers of the court with a cold eye, and now he finally heard that someone mentioned that he wanted to return the military power to Li Jing, and his face couldn't help but be extremely ugly, but at this time, he couldn't stop it. He was the one who proposed to relieve Li Jing of military power, but Li Jing agreed, but instead the troublesome Hebei feudal town entered the palace to assassinate him, almost lost his life, not to mention, and the three feudal towns that were introduced were completely reversed. At this time, no matter what he says, the emperor will probably think that he is misleading for personal gain.

If at this time, Li Jing proposed to let the emperor kill him before agreeing to send troops, he estimated that the emperor would have no objections. Therefore, now he can keep a low profile, for fear of causing people to blame him for the Hebei rebellion.

Experienced ministers all understand that at this time, no matter what kind of mood and attitude Li Jing has, they must first appease the king of Andong County, who has a heavy army.

"How do you think Doulu Xiangguo should make an order?" Li Yi asked. It is related to Li Tang Jiangshan, although the little emperor loves to play, but now he has to sit patiently on this hall.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Dou Lu Peng was also a little unsure of how to answer. If you want to appease Li Jing, you must come up with some dry goods. But because of this, he can't be reappointed to the position that Li Jingzhen has just been relieved of, such as the envoy of the national army, otherwise the imperial court will not slap itself in the face.

After thinking about it, he didn't think about what kind of reward he should come up with, so that he could be regarded as sincere and could make Li Jing's heart move.

Li Jing is now the king of the county, which can be said to be at the end. The official position is from the first rank of the hussar general, as well as the official positions of Shangzhu Guo, Taifu and other extremely human ministers.

It's hard to give Li Jing the title of the king, if not, the king of the word. So if you are an official, what other official position is above Li Jing's now? Doulu Xiangguo thought about it, it seems that the two positions of Wen Youshang Shuling and Wu Youtiance General are really powerful and higher than Li Jing's current official position.

However, whether it is the king of one word, or the official titles of Shang Shuling or Admiral Tiance, they are not people who can be sealed! (To be continued......)
