In the same state, Li Keyong, who retreated from Weiqiao, retreated here with less than 30,000 remnants.

In this battle, Li Ke used to stumble for the horse, and he thought it was a sure thing, but it was actually planted in the hands of the kid Shouwang.

It is conceivable how much impact it will have when the news of his defeat by King Shou in Guanzhong spreads. Those enemies who were already ready to move would also jump out one after another, intending to tear off a piece of flesh from his body.

The 40,000 troops before the expedition are now less than 20,000, and many of them are wounded, and they also have a brother of their own.

In the big tent at this time, Li Kegong's body was placed in the center, extremely pale, even if the weather was not big, corpse spots began to appear.

Although this fourth brother is frivolous and brutal, he is his own brother after all, but who would have thought that he would die in this level.

It was cold and windy outside, and even though there was a fire in the tent, Li Ke used his gloomy face to make the temperature of the entire tent drop rapidly.

"I didn't expect that I, Li Keyong, would be planted in the hands of this Shouwang Xiao'er, and let the fourth brother die in Guanzhong. I hate it! ”

Li Ke raised his head to the sky and roared, his face was hideous, and the people around him were really startled.

"King Shou, this account will have to be counted with you sooner or later!" Li Keyong looked in the direction of Chang'an and said ruthlessly.

"Your Highness must not be in a hurry, the top priority is to return to Hedong. Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and now that we have suffered a setback in Guanzhong, the enemy lurking around Hedong is afraid that he will take action. Gai Yu was afraid that Li Keyong would come nonsense because of this matter, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Big brother, what Gai Ya said makes sense, we can't mess with ourselves at this time." Li Kening also stood up, but he knew the character of this big brother very well.

"Is that the end of it?" Li Ke was unwilling, and looked at Li Kening with a slightly unkind expression, "The third brother, that's the fourth brother, do you just watch him die in vain?" ”

Li Kening's face was blue and red for a while, "Big brother, how is it possible?" The fourth child died, and I was just as uncomfortable, but now I can't put the entire Shatuo army into it just because I avenged the fourth child. Gai Ya is right, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

When the situation in Hedong is stabilized, it is not too late for us to find a way to avenge the fourth child! ”

"Go down, let me be quiet."

Li Ke waved his hand in frustration, and everyone knew the pain of the other party's loss of his brother, so they didn't bother. He carried the coffin containing Li Kegong's body and walked out, but in the end, Kang Junli turned back to Li Kegong's big tent again.

"Father-in-law!"

Li Ke, who was sitting there in a daze, heard someone call him, and only then came back from his trance. Li Kegong's death, as well as the defeat this time, made him a little decadent, and this incident hit him too hard.

Seeing that it was Kang Junli, Li Keyong's face was a little displeased, and his tone was a little stiff, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Kang Junli looked a little panicked, but when he thought of the plan in his heart, he mustered up the courage and said, "Father-in-law, the child wants to say something about the death of the fourth uncle. ”

"Huh?" Li Keyong suddenly raised his head and stared at Kang Junli, like a wolf staring at its prey.

Kang Junli's whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that if it weren't for Cunxiao's lack of timely reinforcements, the fourth uncle would not have died at the hands of the enemy!" ”

"What?" Li Keyong stood up suddenly, suddenly thought of something, and said sharply, "Cunxiao is your brother, what are you trying to do?" ”

Kang Junli stubbornly said, "Father-in-law, the child doesn't dare to deceive you, in fact, many people present know about this matter, and they have seen it in Siyuan and Cunxin." ”

Li Keyong stared straight at the righteous son in front of him, who was bigger than himself, and also wanted to think about what the other party wanted to do, "I'll talk about this later." Remember, Cunxiao is your brother, you can't maliciously slander each other because you are jealous of the other party, if you let your father know, you know the end.

Let's go down! Don't bother me again! ”

Kang Junli nodded in fright, "Yes, father-in-law, the child retires!" ”

Out of the big tent, Kang Junli found that he was in a cold sweat, he didn't expect his father-in-law's aura to be so powerful, just a few words made him look like this.

But thinking of his father-in-law's reaction, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

As a father-in-law, he attaches great importance to brotherhood, which can be seen from the fact that several of his brothers hold important positions in the army. Li Kegong's death in battle this time allowed Kang Junli to find an opportunity, an opportunity to block Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao is famous outside. However, the popularity of these righteous sons used by Li Ke is not good, because of his great achievements in war and some pride, so these righteous sons of Li Keyong have a strong jealousy of him.

If Li Cunxiao had made several military exploits before, even if the rest of them were jealous, Li Keyong would not have listened to them.

But this time it was different, Li Kegong died, and he suffered a fiasco, so Li Kegong came out with a suspicious problem. Li Keyong seemed to be scolding him just now, but he knew that the other party would definitely go to someone else for verification, even if Li Cunxiao succeeded in getting rid of it in the end, but this matter would leave a seed of doubt in Li Ke's heart.

And what Kang Junli wants is this seed, and at the critical moment, this seed will make Li Cunxiao fall into a place of no return.

Just as Kang Junli guessed, Li Keyong on the way back, successively approached Li Cunxin, Li Siyuan and others separately to inquire about the situation. Although Li Siyuan explained what happened, and Li Keyong did not blame Li Cunxiao in the end, Kang Junli knew that his plan was successful.

Kang Junli didn't expect to bring down Li Cunxiao with this incident alone, all he wanted was to plant a seed of doubt in Li Ke's heart.

As Li Keyong led the remnants to retreat to the river, the news of Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong's allied army defeated King Shou in Guanzhong spread all over the world. No one expected that a fledgling Shouwang would actually defeat Yang Fugong and Li Keyong, and also defeated the powerful Shatuo army.

For a time, the envoys of the various feudal towns who got the news were thinking about how to deal with the relationship with the imperial court, and King Shou, who defeated the Shatuo army, undoubtedly mastered the military and political power of the imperial court, stepped on the back of the Shatuo army, and won prestige.

Originally, many of these people thought that the imperial court was already in decline, but now that they look at it, it doesn't seem to be the case.

In Guanzhong, with Li Keyong's defeat, Yang Fugong fled to the river, but he did not go to Taiyuan. As for the reason, it is impossible to know for the time being, but it also shows that there is a rift in the relationship between Yang Fugong and Li Keyong, so that Yang Fugong would rather stay in the river than go to Taiyuan.

The defeat of the Shatuo army and the Hezhong army also made Yang Shouliang, who got the news, give up resistance and chose to surrender in Kaesong. Dongfang Kui, the envoy of the Bao army, personally led an army of 10,000 and escorted the Suining rebels led by Yang Shouliang to Chang'an.

In Xichuan, Chen Jingxuan and Tian Lingzi brothers, their families, and henchmen also rushed to Chang'an under the escort of Youyu Linjun.

At the same time, Li Ye, who pacified Yang Fugong, Li Keyong, Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan and Wang Chongrong, suddenly rose to a high point in the court. And these court officials also learned that Zheng Congyan, Xiao Yu and several people with higher clan seniority were persuading Li Yu, the emperor, to abdicate and force the emperor to abdicate.

Without Yang Fugong, there is no one in the court who can balance Li Ye, the longevity king.

They all know that Li Yi's abdication is doomed, just to see when.
