Li Congke entered to see Li Siyuan, and faced the difficulties suffered by Chen on the way back to Luoyang, but unexpectedly, Li Siyuan said: "These are all agreed by Lonely, if my son has any grievances, he can talk to his father." ”

Li Congke said: "That father-in-law can't let that outsider deceive my Li family!" ”

Li Siyuan said: "Gu now wants him to clean up some unreliable, now condone it, Wu'er understands it in his heart." ”

Li Congke got a few words of comfort from Li Siyuan here, and balanced it a little, but he was always bullied by villains like An Chongzhi, and he was depressed. When he heard that his close brother Li Congcan died in the hands of An Chongzhu, he was also horrified, so he had to endure a bad anger and return to his house, feeling depressed.

Li Siyuan, an illiterate military general, An Chongzhi is a relatively literate person, but he is only a rough writer. This court recital, and like to use literary language, at first Li Siyuan needed to let An Chongzhi help him read it before he could deal with it, so he had a dependence mentality. Later, although there were Feng Dao, Zhao Feng and others, they filled the Ming Palace Bachelor and helped deal with the chapter.

But there are some things that can't be put on the surface, and they still need to be dealt with in private, so they are more and more trustworthy to An Chongxue.

An Chongzhi himself has no ability, so he used the trust he gained when he was by his side to plan a rebellion for Li Siyuan, and manipulated the dynasty and attacked dissidents, but he didn't know that this was the way to die.

But it was said that Li Congke had been suppressing a mouthful of evil anger towards An Chongzhi in his heart, and when it came to the New Year's Day, Li Siyuan feasted the ministers, and Li Congke drank too much wine, and somehow remembered that Li Congcan, the nephew of Li Siyuan, who was killed by An Chongzhi in the autumn, came to the court, and scolded An Chongzhi angrily in front of a group of civil and military generals in the court.

An Chongzhi is now authoritarian and arbitrary, where has he received such pickled anger, and he also reprimanded Li Congke.

Both of them are martial artists, and their words are naturally rude, Li Congke was furious when he heard this, picked up the wine glass on the table and threw it at An Chongxue, and scolded in his mouth: "Old horseman, you actually killed my brother, look at Ye Ye to take your life today!" ”

After saying that, he got up and left his seat, and rushed straight to An Chongyu.

Fortunately, An Chongzhi knew that he was not Li Congke's opponent, so he turned around and ran, and came up left and right, hugging his waist and pulling his legs, and finally persuaded Li Congke. Li Siyuan was furious when he saw this, but he only got up and scolded Li Congke a few words, and then went back to the harem, but did not deal with it.

When he woke up the next day, some of his subordinates persuaded Li Congke that he was now in charge of the Privy Council, and that it was the power that would inevitably make it difficult for this ordnance material to be harassed at that time, and persuaded Li Congke to give in for the time being. Li Siyuan sent a message and ordered him to apologize.

Li Congke also regretted that he shouldn't have had a seizure in public, he refuted the other party, he led the army outside, and when the time came, he had no place to cry. So he went to the house in person and apologized in person.

Although An Chongzhi revealed the matter on the surface, he held a grudge in his heart.

After the New Year's Festival, Li Congke left Luoyang and returned to Hezhong Town.

An Chongzhu wanted to frame Li Congke, so he sent a secret decree to Wang Yanwen, the commander of Hedong Mabu, so that he could find an opportunity to expel Li Congke, and then he would promote him to the envoy of Hedong Jiedu to replace him.

This Wang Yanwen was also stunned, so he agreed casually.

However, it is said that Li Congke was born in the army, likes to hunt in the field, and often takes his pro-army out of the city.

On the second day of the second month of February, Li Congke went out of the city to hunt again, this time he ran a little far, and went to the Wulao Mountain in Yuxiang, and spent five days going back and forth. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the city in the river, Wang Yanwen ordered his subordinates to control the city, and the city gate was closed, but Li Congke was not allowed to enter the city.

Li Congke angrily scolded Wang Yanwen, who came out to meet him outside the city, and said: "I have always treated you very kindly, and I handed over my home to you to see, I don't want you to dare to betray?!" ”

Wang Yanwen had no choice but to bow his hand at the head of the city and say: "It's not that I failed the general, but I really have a secret order from the Privy Council, and I have to obey it." The general doesn't have to go back to the city, please go back to Beijing directly! ”

Li Congke scolded a few more words, but Wang Yanwen went down to the city and ignored it anymore. Li Congke had no choice but to take 200 pro-troops to Yuxiang to live temporarily, while sending people to report to Luoyang.

……

Li Qi, who was preparing for spring ploughing in Jinyang, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news of the Hedong military rebellion: "This disaster caused Xiao Wall, it is a God-given opportunity!" He Fujin, the guard of Yangliang Pass, was ordered to take Jinzhou from the mountains first, and then mobilized 30,000 Jinyang troops to personally lead the army directly to the river.

The commander of the Hezhong Army was expelled, and he had already become a mess, and the Jinyang Army was dispatched very quickly, so there was no chance to adjust it at all.

He Fujin led his army from Xizhou to bypass Fenshui Pass and take Zhaocheng directly.

There were not many garrisons in this Zhao City, and as soon as the Jinyang army arrived, the county ordered Zhao Xun to simply open the city and surrender, and the defenders of Fenshui Pass saw that their heels were broken, and they were in turmoil. When Li Qi led the army to arrive at Fenshui Pass, he saw that the gate was wide open, and the Fenshui Pass guard would surrender to the Northern Army without a fight.

As soon as the Fenshui Pass was lost, there was no natural danger barrier in the Hezhong Mansion, Li Qi ordered He Fujin to divide Jiangzhou, Fu Yanqing was the vanguard, and the army went straight to the river. This road is unstoppable, and everywhere it passes, states and counties have surrendered.

Li Congke was still waiting for news from Luoyang in Yuxiang, but when he heard that Fu Yanqing and Yuan Ren, the vanguard of the Northern Army, had arrived at Wenxi, he was immediately shocked. There were only more than 1,000 defenders in this Yu Township, where could they still hold it, that is, they abandoned Jiezhou, and fled to Quyuan with only 200 pro-troops, and then fled to Jiyuan along the mountain valley.

After escaping to Jiyuan, Li Congke saw that the 30,000 troops in the river were lost, and he couldn't help crying: "An Zhong taught me, but he lost the river, and now he has lost 30,000 soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that a certain family will die without a place to be buried!" ”

As for how Li Siyuan will deal with it, it doesn't matter for the time being, after Fu Yanqing and Yuan Ren took the state, they didn't stop, went straight to the river, and surrounded the city in the river.

The city in the river is bordered by the Yellow River in the west and the water in the south, and only the northwest can attack the city.

Hezhong was originally an important town in Jin, the city was high and the walls were thick, Wang Yanwen refused to defend the city, and the Jinyang army could not help him for the time being.

Now Wang Yanwen also knows that he has caused a catastrophe, but he only knows how to defend the city, and he is also panicked all day long.

After Li Qi led the army to the city of Hezhong, it was as if in a dream. The history books actually called Li Siyuan "Ming Jun", he didn't know what those historians of the Song Dynasty thought? Except for being frugal in life, it is almost useless. After his death, various festivals have become self-reliant, and Tang Jiangshan is basically mostly buried in his hands.

It's just that it's okay to make a big bargain.

Fu Yanqing said: "This city in the river is more difficult to attack, and the minister used to have a little friendship with that Wang Yanwen, and he is willing to enter the city to persuade him to surrender." ”

Li Qi thought for a while and said, "It's okay, you go and persuade him to surrender, and I promise him to be rich and safe in the future." ”

That Wang Yanwen was hesitant to be at a loss, but he heard Fu Yanqing say outside the city that he wanted to meet and discuss, so he ordered the guards of the city to come down from the basket and pull Fu Yanqing to the city.

When the two met, Fu Yanqing said: "Now that the river is isolated and helpless, sooner or later it will fall, I and the general are old acquaintances, and I can't bear to see the general's whole family killed, so I ask for help in front of the Son of Heaven." Fortunately, the Son of Heaven was benevolent, and he promised the post of general Yanmen regiment training envoy, so he didn't open the city quickly and welcome the Son of Heaven into the city. ”

Wang Yanwen heard that the Son of Heaven had promised him an official position, and he did not see the killing, and he was immediately relieved. Although this town group training was not what he expected, it was much better than the destruction of the city. Then he opened the gates of the city and bound himself out of the city.

The river fell into the hands of the Northern Army so easily, and Li Qi's power grew a lot......
