Regarding the dangerous terrain, Jianzhou and Xiongzhou are the gateways to Guanzhong.
In terms of economy, Lizhou is not poor, but it is not rich either. Even passing merchants would rather take a few steps to rest in Zhangzhou and other places, so that they can sell some goods along the way.
Such an inconspicuous place, by chance, turned out to be an important place separating the north from the south.
Shi Zhongtang vowed to capture Lizhou and block the Northern Xinjiang Army. The Northern Xinjiang Army needed to capture Lizhou before they could go south to quell the rebellion. For a time, the city of Lizhou was turbulent.
Lin Xian is a smart man.
On the way to Chang'an, He Zun said to Shi Zhongtang: In fact, he did not need to kill Feng Chen. He only had to capture Feng Chen, which would be a great achievement. By taking action, he showed his true feelings to the Duke of the country, and at the same time cut off his own body.
Way back.
This person is ruthless enough. Shi Zhongtang has seen many ruthless people, but Lin Xian is still rare among ruthless people.
He decided that there was no hope for the Tang Dynasty. In this case, he had to show his loyalty in front of the new master. What better way to show loyalty than to kill Shangguan? He Zun smiled and said: If he kills Feng Chen, the Duke can even let him continue to guard the city.
Lizhou without worrying.
If this is possible, Lin Xian will now have a firm foothold within the Shi Zhongtang Group.
If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm!
The Duke and a team of scouts came back, and the emperor went to Shu.
An old dog is as timid as a mouse. Shi Zhong and Tang Wan'er, if he sticks to Chang'an City now, to be honest, I'm not sure he can break the city. If Li Xuan takes advantage of the situation and defeats Lizhou, I can only stick to Guanzhong and let him and me
There was no fighting in the south. Unfortunately, Li Bi did not have the courage.
Judging from Li Mi's past, this person is good at political strategy but not fond of martial arts. He Zun said: However, this person was very decisive back then!
Li Mi launched two palace coups that year, and the process was thrilling. You must know that his first palace coup was aimed at Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu died that year, otherwise Li Mi would not have succeeded. Shi Zhongtang sighed.
Yes! He Zunyuan thought back to those days and couldn't help but be fascinated. Later, Li Mi launched a palace coup for the second time. The Duke of the country should not underestimate Li Yuan. This person can endure and has great methods. Li Mi was able to succeed in the palace coup again.
, Tactfulness, scheming, and the ability to win over people are all indispensable.
Li Bi was considered a hero back then. Shi Zhongtang said: Unfortunately, the hero also polished off his spirit in the pear garden. Facing our army, he didn't even have the courage to resist. Xiong, bah!,
It was rare for Shi Zhongtang to have this kind of time. He Zun smiled: Actually, speaking of it, the Duke has to thank Li Xuan.
Yes! Shi Zhongtang laughed sincerely. Li Mi was most afraid of Li Xuan in northern Xinjiang. In order to contain Li Xuan, he allowed me to expand the army in southern Xinjiang with great fanfare. The money and food from the Ministry of Revenue seemed worthless.
From Chang'an to southern Xinjiang. Without these, how could I dare to raise an army?
This is God's will. He Zun said: After breaking Jiagu Pass, most of the rebellions in the south have subsided. The Duke of Guo ordered armies from all over the country to gather and move closer to Guanzhong. Even if Li Xuan breaks Lizhou later, facing our southern Xinjiang army, he will still
All we can do is helpless.
Our army holds Guanzhong and has countless weapons and resources in Guanzhong, but when Li Xuanyuan comes, it is difficult to supply food and grass. He and I will inevitably have a fateful battle sooner or later. In this case, we should gather our strong forces, accumulate food, grass and weapons, and be ready for the day.
Shi Zhongtang's eyes were slightly cold, and I couldn't wait any longer.
He Zun liked his heroic gesture the most. Li Mi fled, and there was no threat except for his righteousness. As for King Wei, he had disappeared with hundreds of horsemen, and he was also not a threat. Duke, at the moment, our army is the largest
The threat is Li Xuan!
I know. Shi Zhongtang said: As long as Li Mi has a great reputation for righteousness, the world will not stop. However, his reputation as a coward is getting louder and louder now. King Wei has nothing to worry about. I can suppress Li Mi because of his great righteousness.
So what if he escapes to Shu? As time goes by, people in the world will naturally forget about this foolish king.
The key is that the Duke is merciful. He Zun gave a subtle hint that the massacre of the city cannot happen again, otherwise, the people of the world will rise up and attack.
Shi Zhongtang heard his strings
The voice outside laughed and said: "Come here, please go down. After entering Chang'an, whoever dares to kill and plunder at will, kill! Whoever dares to insult women, kill!"
yes!
Congratulations! Your Majesty is wise!
Shi Zhongtang sighed: I know your painstaking efforts, but I just hope you will forget today's advice. The days are long, and if you find something wrong in the future, you have to remember today.
Yes. He Zun is in agitated mood. The Duke is in charge of Chang'an, and the army in the south is expanding. Even if Li Xuan breaks in, he will face a situation where our army will be attacked from the north and the south. What is needed now is time. As long as Lizhou can hold off the northern Xinjiang army for half a month,
The matter is settled.
Half a month, the problem is not big. Shi Zhongtang said: Chunyu has followed me for many years and has never violated my wishes. I said he would not go to war, and he would only defend. And reinforcements will continue to rush to Lizhou and bring them there.
turned into a mill.
Flesh and blood, mill! Shi Zhongtang said coldly. Ta da da!
Duke! Duke! More than a hundred horses are coming from behind. What's going on?
At this moment, Shi Zhongtang broke through Chang'an and hunted down the emperor, which was regarded as the pinnacle of his life. At first glance, his face was red and his complexion was moist.
This is how people feel refreshed during happy events.
The Duke of Lizhou was captured by Li Xuan. He Zun's cheeks trembled.
He took a sneak peek at Shi Zhongtang and saw that there was a touch of red on his slightly chubby face.
That's annoying!
That anger may have reached Tianling Gai and Lizhou and was lost.
It was like giving a proud Shi Zhongtang a slap in the face. It was so painful!
The sound is loud!
Didn't you defeat Dou Zhong? Didn't you break the Jiagu Pass? Didn't you occupy Chang'an City? Aren't you arrogant? I'm here!
He Zun seemed to see Li Xuan looking at him and Shi Zhongtang contemptuously on horseback.
And behind him is the Northern Xinjiang army. He is coming.
A general said: That man is coming.
Dou Zhong was defeated, Guanzhong fell, Chang'an fell, and the emperor fled...
The Tang Dynasty seemed to be plunged into darkness, with no light at all.
At this moment, a big flag appeared in the wind.
It is the banner of rebellion!
In Lizhou City, people were allowed to go out and work normally.
Everyone went to the main street in the city to take a look at the big flag.
An old man walked out of his house and asked his grandson, who was supporting him, what flag was that?
Grandson said: They said they were asking for rebellion.
Disobedience. The old man said: Logically speaking, none of us can believe that the world is in chaos. But if the emperor escapes, the world will have no master.
The grandson said: Ah Weng, the emperor is a foolish king.
Yes! Today, people can stand outside the state and say that the emperor is a coward without fear of being punished. Even the disciples of the state will scold you.
The old man sniffed, feeling flustered! But then he thought about it, wasn't there another one? At first he said he was filial to the emperor and was killed for rebellion, but then why did he posthumously confer the title of emperor? It was obviously a lie.
Now that his son is here, I think about it, this world must belong to the Tang Dynasty.
But I can’t trust the original emperor. It’s best to die in Shu and not come back. I support the King of Qin.
Aweng, what about Shi Zhongtang?
I'll teach you to be good, foreigners and us! He will never be of the same mind.
The old man spat on the ground. At this time, several clerks came over, shouting as they walked.
His Highness ordered every household to do what they should do without delaying their own affairs. The adults could survive without eating for a few days, but the children were hungry and went out to work. Anyone who excuses himself for being lazy will be beaten!
The old man was happy when he heard it. Listen, listen, this is a family. Don't brag, don't flatter yourself, just worry about our three meals a day. Let's go to work!
In the prefecture hall, Lin Xian and several of his confidants were kneeling at the foot of the hall. Li Xuan sat at the top, with two rows of writings below.
Military officer.
Han Ji reported: There is still a lot of food and grass in the city, but the soldiers are not very good. The soldiers who went to inspect said that they are not as good as the weapons produced in Taiping.
How easy it is to go from frugality to luxury! Li Xuan sighed. Products from Taiping must be high-quality.
Up to now, the weapons created by the Chunyu clan and the Ministry of Industry have all been separated by the Taiping weapons.
These differences are usually not noticeable. When the two sides are fighting, my sword and gun are sharper. If I slash with the sword, it can cause serious injury or death, but if you slash with the sword, I will only be slightly injured...
After a big battle is won, the more scenes like this, the more beneficial it will be to the Northern Xinjiang Army.
The people in the city have all gone out, and the shops everywhere are open. However, among the people who go out to work in the city, the Jin Yiwei has determined that there are spies from Chang'an and Shi Ni. Do they want to intercept them? Han Ji asked for instructions.
Li Xuan shook his head. Compared with arresting a few spies or leaking some information, Gu was more concerned about the livelihood of the people.
Your Highness is kind and everyone is convinced.
Lin Xian thought about it and compared Shi Zhongtang and Li Xuan.
One is a rebellious man who can indulge his subordinates in slaughtering the city, and the other is the son of the former prince who cannot bear the loss of people's livelihood...
Li Xuan's voice came from the hall. When Gu Ren came to persuade Feng Chen to surrender, Feng Chen stubbornly refused, but you kept scolding him. I thought you were loyal to the false emperor, but unexpectedly, you surrendered Shi Ni! Lin Xian
He raised his head and said with a smile: Your Highness sent people to surrender, but he only said that we should stay in our original posts, but Shi Zhongtang said that he was a Marquis. His Highness is so stingy, so it is no wonder that we have switched to the Ming Lord.
A title is an important weapon of the country! Li Xuan said coldly: How can a person be given a title unless he has proven merit and made great contributions to the country and the people? When Shi Ni opened his mouth, the Marquis came to ask you, what benefit do you have to the country and the people?
?
Lin Xian couldn't answer.
Shi Ni conspired to rebel, and he dared to offer a marquis reward to a demoted official, but he himself was just a prince, so he was crowned as a monkey! Han Ji sneered.
Lin Xian looked pale, His Highness the King of Qin also proclaimed himself.
He Lianrong said calmly: "My Royal Highness is the youngest son of the emperor who respects the emperor. He is a noble man, so he can naturally be crowned king. Who is Shi Zhongtang? Is he worthy of being a horseman?"
Jiang He'er couldn't help but said: If it weren't for the false emperor and his son to cause trouble, he should have been filial to the emperor when he succeeded to the throne, and your highness would naturally be the prince.
Lin Xian was suddenly startled, looked at Li Xuan and said: Your character Zitai... turned upside down, means Prince.
What is Tianhuang Guizhou?
When Li Xuan was still young, this profound word was assigned to him.
Zitai!Prince!
It turns out that in Xiaojing's eyes, is this youngest son the candidate to inherit his great cause?
A feeling of shame made Lin Xian's face turn red. Li Xuan squinted at the envoy's entourage, torture! He needed news about the rebels.
The few followers held their heads high and went ahead if they had the means.
The old thief said with a smile: I'm here to wait for you. Jiang Heer frowned, don't be here, it stinks. The old thief smiled and said: Of course not.
Not long after, howls came from outside. Stop your mouth! Li Xuan said angrily. Yes.
Wang Laoer came back, covered in blood. Your Highness, I led my men to pursue him to Jiagu Pass.
This idiot!
Li Xuan said: "That means Shi Zhongtang hasn't prepared yet, otherwise an ambush will make you hateful. Don't be reckless next time."
oh!
Wang Laoer agreed and was immediately called away by Tu Shang.
Is your wife pregnant? Tu Chang's desire to have a grandchild is getting more intense.
It seems not! Wang Laoer thoughtlessly stuffed a piece of dried meat into Tu Shang.
Tu Sang swallowed it smoothly, and Lin Xian was stunned for a moment in despair, thinking that the hard meat could be swallowed so raw?
Not long after, several of the envoy's followers were dragged in. What tough guys they were, they were clearly explained.
.........Many places in the south are in rebellion, but Dou Zhong
After the defeat and news of An's fall spread, many rebellions ceased.
Han Ji said: The imperial capital was lost and the emperor ran away shamelessly. In the eyes of the world, the Tang Dynasty had come to an end.
Shi Zhongtang sent people to hunt down the emperor, and also ordered the army to expand in the south. He said that the biggest opponent was never Li Mi, but...
Who is it? The old thief asked.
The envoy's entourage looked at Li Xuan: It's His Highness!
One of the attendants looked at the left calf, which had been stripped of its flesh. He confessed everything and begged His Highness for forgiveness.
At this time, Jielong came in. Your Highness, we tortured several other envoys' followers, and learned that these people were among the people who were massacred in Huangzhou.
Several followers quickly begged for mercy: I realized my mistake.
In their view, since they cooperated and confessed, they would naturally survive.
This is the rule! Li Xuan waved his hand and raised the pole!
