"Zhao Xiong, let you come to Langzhou as a defense envoy, do you have any resentment?"

Standing on the top floor of King Teng's Pavilion, looking at the Jialing River in front of him and Langzhou City in the distance, Li Ye had a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance, which made him feel very good. In this era when there are no high-rise buildings, such a high attic does make people feel very comfortable, as if everything is under their feet.

It is no wonder that Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, would be so persistent in building the Tengwang Pavilion, and build a Tengwang Pavilion in one place. It seems that in the future, when there are conditions, I will have to build such a high attic, and it feels very cool to think about it.

"Don't dare!"

Zhao Xiong, who was standing honestly behind Li Ye, bowed his head and said.

"There is also a reason for you to come to Langzhou, Langzhou is related to the key to the king's control of the ten states of Shudi, and ordinary people come, and the king is not very relieved.

Back then, in Chang'an, you could lead the remnants of the army to cover the clans from Chang'an, which was surrounded by rebels, which shows that you are quite capable. And you have also been with this king for a few years, let you come, this king will be relieved.

Letting you come here is not only a promotion for you, but also a test for you. Always following this king can only waste your talent, and only in this challenging place can you grow up quickly. ”

Although Li Ye did have the intention of beating Zhao Xiong, so he sent him to Langzhou, but he just blindly beat and did not encourage him, and the result may be the opposite. Zhao Xiong's problem is that he cares about his affairs, as a pawn, he only needs to obey his orders, but the other party has blocked him several times.

He thinks that he is not an open-minded person, and the other party has always been like this, which naturally makes him dislike. However, Zhao Xiong also has some talents, so Li Ye doesn't want to give up this subordinate completely, just beat him up and make him more obedient.

"Your Highness's good intentions, I will not dare to forget it!" Zhao Xiong's face was a little surprised, and he immediately assured with a serious face, it seems that he has thought too much, and His Highness still hasn't forgotten him.

"Just know, how are you doing what this king has given you?" Li Ye asked.

"His Royal Highness's orders, the humble duty has always been kept in mind, and the humble duty will tell His Royal Highness about the current situation in Langzhou one by one." With Li Ye's encouragement just now, Zhao Xiong's face obviously changed, and his attitude between his words was also a lot more positive.

The situation in Langzhou is not very complicated, with a total of eight counties, the total population is only slightly smaller than that of Lizhou, and due to the convenience of shipping, the commercial development is relatively developed.

Langzhou's side is relatively obedient to the will of the imperial court, and not long after Zhao Xiongyi took office, his military orders can be quickly issued to the bottom. Therefore, not long after Zhao Xiong came to Langzhou, he basically mastered the army of Langzhou, and of course, Yang Hanzhou, who was the assassin, also cooperated vigorously.

Yang Hanzhou served as the assassin of Langzhou for six years, which means that before Niu Qiao took office, Yang Hanzhou was the assassin of Langzhou. Although Yang Hanzhou is not a local, after so many years, he can be regarded as able to achieve unimpeded passage of government decrees for Langzhou.

Of course, Yang Hanzhou did not fully grasp the military and political power in Langzhou, otherwise he would not have handed over the military power so honestly. Yang Hanzhou is a foreigner, and his role as the assassin of Langzhou is naturally not accepted by the locals, such as Langzhou Chen.

The Langzhou Chen family has become a relatively important force in Langzhou, mainly due to the credit of his previous head of the family, because he has served as the Langzhou assassin for many years and has been deeply cultivated in Langzhou for a long time. And his eldest son, Chen Liang, who is now the head of the Chen family, is also the governor of Langzhou.

If it is only based on a long history, it is naturally impossible to make Yang Hanzhou, the current assassin history, maintain a good relationship with the Chen family in Langzhou.

The Langzhou Chen family has the largest school in Langzhou in Langzhou, which is its ethnicity, which is larger than the scale of state studies. Moreover, the Langzhou Chen clan not only recruits people from their own clan, but also recruits outsiders, and over the years, these students who have learned from the Chen clan have naturally had a close relationship with the Chen family.

In addition, the Chen family also established a relationship network across the three states of Lang, Peng and Guo through marriage. is like Zhang Shanxiang, the commander of Cangxi County, who married the eldest daughter of the Chen family at that time.

The current Langzhou Chen family is the largest family in Langzhou, but it is not the family with the deepest roots.

The deepest foundation in Langzhou is naturally the Tang Dynasty emperor's surname Lao Li's family. The Langzhou Li family is actually one of the descendants of Li Yuanying, the first Teng king of the Tang Dynasty, who stayed here and has been multiplied all the way down to become the current Langzhou Li family.

The Li family in Langzhou is considered a royal family, but it has long lost its title. After all, among Li Yuanying's sons, only one can inherit the title of King Teng, and the others can only be granted lower titles. After so many generations, many branches have long lost their titles, except for the genealogy that can prove that it is the Li Tang royal family, it is not much different from other ordinary people.

So nominally, the Chen family is the most powerful family in Langzhou, but the Li family also has a deep heritage. Even when Li Ye came to Langzhou this time, the current patriarch of the Li family came to see Li Ye in person.

According to the seniority, the patriarch of the Li clan, who is close to the age of the Mandate of Heaven, is still Li Ye's son and nephew.

It was precisely because Yang Hanzhou was not a man of his word in Langzhou, so when Li Ye cut his military power, he agreed after thinking about it. He also wanted to let Li Ye's forces enter Langzhou and muddy the situation, so that he could use Li Ye's forces to suppress some local big families who disobeyed him.

Because of Xiaoyue, Li Ye was more curious about this Langzhou Chen family, and asked a few more questions.

"Your Highness, this Chen Liang, according to his understanding during this period of humble service, is more domineering. Although it is the largest family in Langzhou, it is relatively strong, and there have been a lot of troubles before, but it has not been done later.

There are hundreds of families in his house, which can be regarded as a strong party, and with the influence of the Chen family in Langzhou officialdom, even Yang Tingshi has to give three points. ”

"Does this Chen family regard this Langzhou as their family?" Li Ye sneered.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, as long as there is a humble post in Langzhou for a day, the army in Langzhou will be a sword in the hands of Your Highness. Your Highness's sword is the point of our sword. ”

Li Ye didn't fully believe what Zhao Xiong said, if he only listened to one side, then he would have a great chance of being deceived.

Bazhou and Jizhou, with Li Hong, Li Ye is not very afraid. Although that Wang Hui is a little uninteresting, he has been honest recently, and the reason why the other party blocked him before was because of Li Yi, who was loyal to the former prime minister, not him, the prince. And among the princes, Wang Hui has a better impression of Li Bao, the king of Ji, than Li Ye.

Wang Hui is not an ordinary person after all, and his status as a former prime minister means that he also has many friends in the court, as long as the other party does not keep blocking him, he will not do anything to the other party.

And Bazhou itself is not a big state, with Li Hong's deterrence, Li Ye is not worried. So Langzhou is left.

Among the three states, Langzhou, as an upper state, is stronger than the other two states in terms of population, economy, and military strength. Therefore, Li Ye attaches more importance to controlling Langzhou, otherwise he would not have come to Langzhou in person.

In the next few days, Li Ye personally visited the Chen family and the Li family, two local clans, and many officials and local celebrities came to see Li Ye. From the mouths of these people, Li Ye has a relatively clear understanding of the situation in the entire Langzhou, and there is not much difference from what Zhao Xiong said, which shows that Zhao Xiong did not deceive Li Ye.

In order to stabilize Langzhou, Li Ye understood that he had to weaken the power of the Chen clan and maintain his own balance, so that Li Ye could ensure control of Langzhou.

Just when Li Ye was about to take action, a letter sent from Lizhou made him end his trip to Langzhou in a hurry.

He didn't stay long in Langzhou, less than ten days before and after, what can he do in ten days? So it means that his trip to Langzhou did not achieve much results, but he only had a certain understanding of the situation in Langzhou.

。。。。。。

"Why did Lu Yanhong suddenly attack? What's going on now? ”

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Li Ye rushed back to Lizhou with a battalion of personal soldiers, while Liu Chenyan and others returned by carriage, and the time difference was only a few days, but for Li Ye at this time, time means fighters. A day late would mean a day of delay.

As soon as he returned to Lizhou, Li Ye gathered a group of henchmen and asked about the current situation in Sanquan.

"Three days ago, the rebels gathered a large army to launch an attack on Sanquan County, but they were stopped by General Liu's army. At present, the two armies are facing each other in Sanquan County, and because of our geographical advantage, there is not much danger at present. Pei Rong said.

"It's not a long-term solution." Li Ye shook his head and said, "And the rebels know the danger of Shudi, although Sanquan County and Qipanguan are not as dangerous as Jianmen Pass, they are also easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the rebels do not have several times the army, it is not easy to capture."

But why do they insist on attacking? ”

"This 。。。。。" Pei Rong didn't know how to answer this question for a while, which he didn't expect.

"Your Highness, maybe the rebels want to contain us and take Fengzhou." Xu Shiren on the side said tentatively.

"Take Fengzhou?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The righteous army also sent a letter asking for help, saying that the rebel Lu Yanhong was gathering tens of thousands of troops to attack Fengzhou, intending to destroy his army, and hoped that His Highness would send reinforcements. Xu Shiren really couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Tens of thousands of troops? There are also a lot of rebels in Sanquan County, how many troops can Lu Yanhong have? Doesn't that mean he's exhausted his forces? Even Xingyuan Mansion is defenseally empty at this time? Li Ye couldn't help but guess.

"Does Your Highness want the left chamber to go out of the rice cang road and go straight to Xingyuan Mansion?" Pei Rong asked.

"The situation is now beyond our means. I wanted to completely control the ten states of Shu before quelling the rebellion, but at this time, the rebels were desperate, and the previous plan had to be changed. Li Ye said in a deep voice.

Although he was a little reluctant, Li Ye had no choice. He can't sit back and watch Niu Miao be eliminated, then he will definitely be impeached by Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan, and Niu Miao, and even the ministers of the DPRK and China may impeach him.

He didn't expect Lu Yanhong to be in this situation, and he would be like this. But now it's not about thinking about these issues, but how to send troops to support Niu Miao.
