Late Tang

At this moment, the world is full of turmoil.

In the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, all the heroes rose together to compete in the Central Plains.

Huang Wang Huangchao's 30 troops approached Luoyang, Zhu Wen led [-] troops to sweep Song and Bian, and Ge Congzhou led [-] troops to sweep Ying and Hao.

The Great Tang Dynasty Hall was terrified, and issued twelve imperial edicts to call Luoyang Cui Anqian, Du Ke, and Zhang Zimian to retreat into Tongguan to guard the gate of Chang'an.

Zhou Ji of Zhongwu Xuzhou, Qin Zongquan of Caizhou, and Lu Yanhong of Chenzhou each occupied a state to defend themselves, avoiding the battle.

Wang Chongrong, Marquis of Yu, the capital of Hezhong, set off another rebellion and drove away the second imperial envoy within a year, claiming to stay behind and control Hezhong.

The military governor of the Tianping Army, Cao Quanzhen, led his army to defeat Huang Chao in Sizhou and died. The military governor of the Taining Army, Qi Kerang, was defeated by Huang Chao in Ruzhou.

The Probation Army and the Xuanwu Army were too afraid to go out!

The Central Plains is corrupt, and no one can stop the yellow nest.

Huang Chao swept across Henan, and the four towns in Hebei were unwilling to be defeated and began to attack everywhere.Zhao Wang Wang Jianchong ordered Chengde's army to attack Yichang's four prefectures of Cang, Jing, De, and Di. Tianping Army Puzhou.

All of a sudden, the flames of war were exhausted, fighting continued everywhere, and all the armies came out, taking advantage of the chaos and wanting to seize more territory.

During this period of time, the anti-kings dispatched troops while watching carefully.

Whether it was the court, or the local government or the local government, as well as the anti-kings from all walks of life, they were all attacking fiercely, while still carefully looking towards the east. .

"Where are the soldiers and horses of Prince Andong? Why didn't you attack Youzhou immediately? Why did you withdraw from Changping?" Some people lamented that if Li Jing sticks to Changping and takes advantage of the situation to attack the army, if he wins this pass, he will be able to cooperate with Li Jing. Together, Ke surrounded the Youzhou rebels in Guizhou and took them down in one fell swoop.At that time, the Northeast Army and the Daibei Army entered Youzhou together, and the situation in Hebei was immediately changed.

"Obviously, the king of Andong County is planning to send troops from Ziqing, march westward along the river, directly rescue the eastern capital, and kill the yellow thieves."

Seeing the strength of the bandit army, countless people are looking forward to the Tang Dynasty's famous Marshal An Dong County King sending troops at this time to turn the tide.Although Datang is dying, in the eyes of the world, Datang is still orthodox for 300 years, Huang Chao is a grass thief, and the four towns in Hebei are rebels. No one wants to see them replace Datang.

Regardless of whether it is Huang Chao or the four towns of Hebei, they are also extremely afraid of Li Jing sending troops at this time.Li Jing sent troops to Youzhou, Hebei Province before, but stopped attacking immediately after capturing Shunzhou, and even withdrew from Changping, which made them faintly expect Li Jing to continue to wait and see this time, not to make a move.

"Li Jing is not a good bird either. This man has great ambitions, and he definitely has the heart to replace Li Tang and stand on his own. Although he has a heavy army in his hands and has enough food and supplies, but seeing how he is used to doing things, he likes to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger the most. Fight, and then enjoy the fisherman's profit. This time, he will continue to wait and see, so that we and Li Tang will lose both, and then pick the cheapest."

"That's the best way. If you guard a corner of the land, do you really think that the world will fall into his hands in vain? As long as the Li and Tang courts can be wiped out this time, all the towns in the world will be a mess. Looking back at that time, the first One will destroy Li Jing."

After Huang Chao heard that Li Jing's soldiers and horses in Liaodong and Ziqing hadn't moved, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a mocking smile: "Li Jing is just a businessman who is good at calculating. Maybe it's okay to run a town. But if When fighting for the world, the opportunity is often only for a moment, once you miss it, you will never have it again. Li Jing, after all, you are still too young!"

After Li Jing suddenly attacked Youzhou and quickly captured Shunzhou, he immediately reached an agreement with Liu Yue to withdraw from Changping. After the news spread to Chang'an, everyone was shocked.

According to Li Jing's several attitudes in the past, Li Jing's move to withdraw from Changping this time can't help but make the emperor and princes of Chang'an startled again.Li Jing's actions were very subtle, and he faintly ignored the imperial court.

Later, some spies in Liaodong sent back news, reporting that Li Jing's withdrawal from Changping was indeed a deal with Liu Yue. In the end, Li Jing withdrew his troops and stopped the conquest.

There was an uproar all over the court.

Tian Lingzi sighed, Li Jing had ulterior motives and was born with a different intention.

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 gate guard, also spoke to the emperor. Now that Li Jing has just regained the land of the five counties of Shunzhou, it is already a great victory.At this time, we must not easily judge that Li Jingsheng has a different heart, otherwise, it will be a major loss to the court's crusade against the rebellion.

"Li Jing has just taken back the five counties. The court should not be jealous but continue to reward and reward. At the same time, it sent someone to Li Jing to call Li Jing to lead the army from Ziqing to Heji to reinforce the Eastern Capital. The biggest confidant of the court is not the four towns in Hebei. Instead, they killed the Huang Chao army near Dongdu."

Although Li Xuan was dissatisfied with Li Jing's increasingly out-of-control performance, he also knew at this time that as long as Li Jing didn't really turn against him for a day, then the court still needed Li Jing.

"Immediately issue an edict to reward the soldiers of the Northeast Road Army. All the soldiers who attacked Youzhou this time will be promoted to the first rank. The decree will be given to add Li Jing to King Qi. King Qi will immediately lead the army to reinforce the Eastern Capital!"

No matter how domineering and oppressive the government and the public are towards Li Jing in the Northeast, the imperial court urgently needs Li Jing's soldiers and horses to rescue the imperial court.Li Xuan has always been reluctant to make Li Jing king, and at this time he finally ordered to be named king of Qi.

Not only the one-character king, but one letter was to directly seal the king of Qi who ranked No.3 among the one-character kings.

In the Tang Dynasty, the one-word king was the honor of the prince.

The ranking of the princes in the Tang Dynasty generally comes from the names of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. The four titles of "Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu" are the most honorable, because the countries represented by these four titles were the most powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The following are titles of "Zhou, Lu, Zhao, Wei, Liang, Yan, Dai, Han, Song, Wu, Yue".When Tang Gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, his three sons, the eldest son Li Jian became the prince, the second son Li Shimin became the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji became the king of Qi.

The imperial court sent the fastest messenger to Liaodong. To be on the safe side, the imperial court sent three imperial edicts to Liaodong a day.

As a result, they waited for several days, but did not get any news to return. Instead, Huang Chao took another step forward, and the Hebei rebels also began to mobilize frequently.

Anxiously waiting, Li Xuan issued another imperial decree, conferring Li Jing King Jin and granting food seals to ten thousand households.

Three days later, the first batch of messengers returned to Chang'an, bringing Li Jing to accept the order, but there was no reply.

But 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, Huang Chao captured Ruzhou, the Chengde army and Wei Bo army began to show their ferocious minions, and rushed towards the surrounding courts states.

Li Xuan almost gritted his silver teeth, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and issued two imperial edicts again.

One is to confer the title of King Li Jing Qin, and the other is to order the Luoyang defenders to retreat to Tongguan.

The imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty claimed that there were five kings of Qi, but Li Shimin was the only one named King of Qin.Now that the Son of Heaven has taken out the title of King Qin and awarded it to Li Jing, it can be seen how panicked the court is at this time.

Some people sighed, thinking that once this title is awarded, then either Li Jing will succeed in usurping the throne in the future and become the founding emperor of a country.Otherwise, it will never end well.

Li Xuan made a decree to add Li Jing to King Qin, and when the decree spread to Liaodong, Li Jing was stunned and quickly expressed his thanks.

As a result, Li Xuan immediately issued several decrees, insisting on granting Li Jing the king of Qin, Li Jing's mother as Mrs. Qi, and Li Jing's wife as Mrs. Lu.

A series of eighteen imperial edicts were issued one after another, granting Li Jing the title of King Qin and mobilizing Li Jing to send troops.

"Hahaha..." The four towns of Hebei, Huang Chao and others heard that the emperor had made Li Jing the king of Qin. When Li Jing still didn't send troops, they all burst into laughter, standing from their point of view. Considering that Li Jing doesn't even want the king of the word, even the king of Qin, the most expensive prince who represents many meanings, it must be bigger.Li Jing obviously wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and didn't want to care about Datang's life and death.For them, a famous general who does not fight is the best famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

"I really don't know if Li Jing is too smart or too stupid. He actually missed this opportunity. The opportunity has already passed, so I will regret it later." The anti-kings of all walks of life were determined, and began to command the army to attack with confidence.

And the military leaders of other towns in Datang also smelled a very bad smell.Li Jing, the marshal who holds elite soldiers in his hand, unexpectedly refuses to accept the imperial court's reward at this time. Could it be that he no longer plans to send troops?

Gao Pian in Huainan had already assembled [-] troops in Tianchang, and was about to go north. Seeing this situation, he also began to hesitate to issue orders to send troops.Gao Pian refused to send troops, and Zhou Gao, Liu Hanhong and others who were separated by a river also stayed behind.

"Immediately contact the four towns in Hebei. This time, we will unite and destroy the little emperors in Luoyang and Chang'an first." Huang Chao looked back at the endless army kingdom behind him, full of pride in his heart.I couldn't help but gently recited the poem when I left Chang'an.

When autumn comes on September [-]th, when my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed.

The incense soars through Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.

Faced with Huang Chao's emissary, the Four Anti-kings of Hebei quickly reached an agreement.

The five families joined forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty, first breaking Luoyang, then going down to Chang'an, and tearing the emperor off the dragon chair together. If this country changes its owner, everyone will have to take turns to sit on the emperor's chair.

Although this agreement does not say who will be the main one, nor does it say who will be the emperor in the future when Li Tang Jiangshan is defeated.But everyone is very clear that this agreement is only to unify the goal, prevent the two sides from conflicting, and have the same goal against Tang.As for who will be in charge in the future, this matter will be discussed in the future.

Anyway, Datang's territory is very large now, whoever has the ability can go ahead and fight!

Huang Chao even made an agreement with the four anti-kings that whoever can conquer Luoyang first will become an ally of the five families.

"Since Li Jing, Gao Pian and others can't shrink back, and Li Tang loses, the five kings will compete!" After the agreement was reached, the five anti-kings stepped up their attack again! (To be continued.)
