August 15 of the fifth year of Qianfu.

August 15, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the grand festival of Datang.

Under the city of Liaodong, although it was wartime, during such a festival, the king of Andong still ordered the whole army to suspend military operations, and each army took a three-day vacation. The logistics department of the camp will also prepare all kinds of wine and meat rewards in advance and distribute them to all armies and battalions. In addition to receiving wine and meat, all the soldiers were also given a set of military dress and 5,000 yuan bills per person. In addition, there are tea, fruits, canned food, mouth fat, face fat, etc.

At the same time, the camp also ordered that a military parade and review ceremony will be held during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a series of ceremonies such as flag awarding, awarding medals, promotions, and rewards will be held.

These grand ceremonies were originally planned to be held in front of millions of people in Victory Square in Sindeungju after the defeat of Goguryeo. But now, the camp suddenly ordered that it would be held under the city of Liaodong, and the camp had already sent dozens of teams of herald cavalry to various parts of the 16 prefectures, ordering all the county orders of the 16 prefectures, the state assassin history, and the civil officials of the six Cao prefectures to come, and the commanding officers above the battalion level of the soldiers of the prefectures and counties, and the officers above the box level of the united army and township army, rushed to participate in the parade and medal ceremony as soon as possible.

Since early in the morning. Except for a small number of troops on alert. 100,000 war auxiliaries near Liaodong City. Together with more than 200,000 conscripted people, the Mid-Autumn Festival began to be celebrated in a camp that stretched for 50 miles on the bank of the Liao River.

The soldiers and civilians in the camp celebrated the festival, but in the camp of the Chinese army, the atmosphere was a little tense.

After Zhang Tai announced the decree to Li Jing and announced their new promotion appointments to the other civil and military generals of the Zhenguo Army, the atmosphere in the entire Chinese army camp began to be a little tense, loose on the outside but tight on the inside.

Now Zhang Tai and his entourage of the imperial court envoys are all arranged in the tent on the side of the Chinese military camp. Although Li Jing calmly accepted the will. But the actions of Zhang Tai and the others were restricted, except for Li Jing who sent someone to invite them to dine together during the meal every day, he could only stay in the tent the rest of the time, and he couldn't go anywhere, and no one could see him.

According to Zhou Dewei, the commander of the Jinjia Shengjie army, this place is in a state of wartime, and it is under the city of Liaodong, so they must protect the safety of the envoys.

Zhang Tai knew that Li Jing did not slaughter him on the spot when he heard the edict. It has been a benefit of his and Li Jing's partnership for several years. If it weren't for Tian Lingzi's insistence in front of the Son of Heaven that he and Li Jing had the best rebellion, he would be the most suitable to serve as this proclamation officer. He didn't want to come anyway.

Cutting the domain, Zhang Tai sat in the tent somewhat leisurely, drinking tea and reading a book. But although he was holding the book, the morning passed, and he didn't turn the pages, in fact, he didn't read the content of the book at all, he was calm on the surface, but in his heart it was overturned.

He's guessing what Li Jing's reaction will be next!

He never thought that Li Jing was a true loyal and patriotic courtier, in fact, he believed that anyone who had Li Jing's current power would not be able to give up the power in his hands easily.

Whether Li Jing is willing or not, he has come to such a delicate position anyway.

With such merit and power, Li Jing is now a real master.

Less than thirty years old, he is already a very popular minister, with a different surname and a king, and he is also the commander of several towns, holding 200,000 soldiers. Seeing that Goguryeo is about to be destroyed by Li Jing, and after making such a great achievement, what will the imperial court give as a reward, will Li Jing be crowned as the king of one word? But at the moment, Li Jing is less than thirty years old, if he is crowned the king of one word, then what will he reward next?

Regardless of whether there is Tian Lingzi's advance or not, the imperial court will inevitably cut Li Jing's vassal, which is an inevitable result.

And at this point, he doesn't think Li Jing has any other choice.

If Li Jing wants to agree to cut the feudal domain and hand over the rights of the army in his hands, it will be difficult for Li Jing to have a good end.

No matter how you look at it, Li Jing has only one way to go, and that is to rebel.

Perhaps the emperor thought that Li Jing was loyal and would hand over his army and let the court move.

But when Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian proposed this plan, they must have been clear about the next development in their hearts. They knew that Li Jing could make a choice, and if they still wanted to do so, then they would have made up their minds to force Li Jing to oppose him.

Li Jing may be powerful, but they must have expected that the imperial court will eventually destroy Li Jing.

At the beginning, the Shatuo people were also very powerful, but they were also exterminated by the imperial court. There are also the three towns of Hebei in the past, Huaixi Town, Shannan Dongdao, Ziqing Pinglu, these secession towns, which were all destroyed by the imperial court.

Tian Lingzi asked him to come to Liaodong to deliver the decree, obviously to borrow a knife to kill people.

Although Li Jing accepted the will, it was impossible for him to leave his post immediately according to the current situation.

The imperial court transferred Zheng Congyan, Cui Anqian, and Zhang Zimian to replace Li Jing's position, but they had to mobilize soldiers and horses, and then they still prepared grain and grass.

In the past two months, Li Jing is still the commander of the national army in the whole town, still commanding 200,000 soldiers and horses.

There are too many things Li Jing can do, he has heard that Li Jing is going to parade and award medals under Liaodong City, and even heard that all kinds of heralds and cavalry are out.

What worries Zhang Tai even more is that up to now, only Li Jing and other generals know about the emperor's edict. The news of Li Jing's transfer and the splitting of the Zhenguo Army was completely unknown to the other soldiers and civilians in the battalion.

In Zhang Tai's opinion, just looking at this point, it can already be seen that Li Jing has no intention of accepting the will of the imperial court at all. Otherwise, if Li Jing listened to the order, then he should read these edicts to the officers and men of the whole army at this time, and announce them to the people and officials of the 17 states.

Li Jing really wants to rebel, Zhang Tai doesn't care.

He mocked Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian in his heart, he really thought that Li Jing was an upstart, and it only took four or five years to build such a territory and army. Do you think Li Jing's foundation is insufficient?

In his opinion. If the imperial court wants to solve Li Jing. In fact, it should not be disposed of like this at the moment. The best way is for the emperor to move to Luoyang first, and then let Li Jing go to Luoyang to see the driver, and when Li Jing arrives in Luoyang, he will directly detain Li Jing, or simply kill Li Jing directly, and then find an excuse to say that Li Jing died of a violent illness and so on. Meantime. The imperial court sent elite soldiers and horses into Li Jing's territory, and then publicly read out the emperor's edict, split the Zhenguo army, and then appointed Li Jing's generals as the commander of the five towns, the assassin and other officials.

At the same time, Li Jing's sworn brothers such as Lin Wei, Wang Chong, and his disciples and other confidants and generals were directly transferred to other places, and if they did not comply, they would be directly arrested and killed.

With such a multi-pronged approach, it is possible to uproot Li Jing's momentum.

But as now, he simply wanted to provoke Li Jing to rebel, but he didn't take any precautions at all. Tian Lingzi and others are playing with fire.

They starved a tiger for a long time, but then they had to open the cage. It's stupid.

Should they say that they underestimate Li Jing too much, or do they think too highly of themselves?

"General, the envoy of the military Zhang asks to see you." The guards reported from outside the tent.

Hearing that Yizi was coming to see him, Zhang Tai hurriedly dropped the scroll in his hand and got up to greet him.

The Jin Jiajun outside the tent did not stop Zhang Chengye and directly let him in.

Zhang Chengye walked in with two food boxes, looking a little haggard. Obviously, the sudden will of the imperial court, he also understood the meaning behind it. The court began to be suspicious of the county king.

Zhang Chengye has always been loyal to Li Tang, and since he became Li Jing's supervisor, he has been dedicated to the Tang Dynasty. However, after following Li Jing for a few years, he actually believes in Li Jing very much. Although Li Jing has risen all the way, not to mention the money that Li Jing pays tribute to the emperor every year, the imperial court has transferred Li Jing to send troops every time. How can Li Jing not accept it, how can there be a time when he doesn't care?

On behalf of the North Ping Shatuo, the Central Plains suppressed grass thieves.

In recent years, with the strength of the Zhenguo Army, it has expanded its territory for Chaotian and recovered Anton.

is so loyal to the king, but now at the critical juncture of the destruction of Goguryeo, the emperor has issued such a will, which really chills the hearts of the soldiers.

He was very worried that Li Jing would make some drastic moves because of this, so he asked to see Li Jing several times and talk to Li Jing earnestly. He also did not persuade Li Jing to accept the will of the imperial court, but he also hoped that Li Jing could report to the imperial court and explain the current situation.

"The king of the county has ordered the county army to order the civil officials above the county and the battalion to command the officers above the rank to come to discuss the matter before the military parade and the award ceremony." Zhang Chengye said with some heaviness.

Li Jing called these officials here at this time, and there were two possibilities, one was to declare the emperor's will. However, if this is the case, a direct letter is sufficient. If not, then another possibility is worrying. Summoning these officials at this time is a very bad omen.

Zhang Tai pondered for a moment.

Asked: "How are Cui Yunqing, Li Zhen and others doing?" ”

Zhang Chengye glanced up at his father-in-law, of course he knew the meaning of Lu Dao's words.

The imperial court dismissed Li Jing from his post, but appointed Cui Yunqing and Li Zhen and other important advisers of Li Jing as the marshal of the Five Towns, which was a trick to divide and divide Li Jing. If the five of them are selfish, they are likely to betray Li Jing and stand on the opposite side of Li Jing.

Zhang Chengye shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know much about Cui Yunqing's knowledge, but I know very well about Li Zhen, Gai Yu, Jing Xiang, and Guo Chengan. ”

"Are you sure?" Zhang Tai asked with some surprise. A town is modest, and the official power is not small.

"I've been with them for a few years, and I think I still know them very well." Zhang Chengye is very sure of this, not to mention Li Zhen, Gai Yu and other people who Li Jing has the grace of knowing them, it is him Zhang Chengye, although he has always firmly believed that he is loyal to Li Tang in his heart, but at this time, he has always been inclined to Li Jing in his heart.

What's more, which of Li Zhen, Gai Yu, Jing Xiang, and Guo Chengan was not favored by Li Jing's acquaintance?

No one knows better than Zhang Chengye that in fact, Li Jing has multiple military and popular hearts for the Zhenguo Army.

When Zhang Tai heard this, he sighed lightly and shook his head, but he didn't say anything. (To be continued......)
