It is good news that Liu Chenyan gave birth to a son for Li Ye, and the whole army also knew the good news, but when Li Ye led the army to take Hanzhou, a bad news came from Chang'an----- Chang'an was broken again.

Just when Li Ye led the Tiance Army to fight with the Dongxichuan coalition army, the battle of Shayuan also had a result. Wang Chongrong and Li Keyong defeated the Zhuzhen coalition army and the Shence army in Shayuan, Tian Lingzi saw that the situation was not right, so he fled from Chang'an again with Li Yi and fled to Fengxiang under the control of Li Changfu.

As for Chang'an, it was also burned down by Li Ke's Shatuo army and the rout.

The news of this news made Li Ye's mood very bad all of a sudden, and it also disrupted his layout. He didn't expect the situation to deteriorate suddenly, and although it was the same in history, he still had some luck in his heart, thinking that it was a lose-lose situation, and it turned out to be one-sided.

The deterioration of the situation in Chang'an meant that Li Ye could not continue to attack Xichuan.

"Your Highness, Xia Guan thought that he should immediately give up the attack on Xichuan, return to Xingyuan Mansion, and sit and watch the situation in the DPRK and China. This is an opportunity, a good opportunity for His Highness to officially return to the court, and His Highness should not delay too much in Xichuan. ”

After learning the news from Chang'an, Li Zhen, who had previously strongly persuaded Li Ye to attack Xichuan, changed his attitude greatly, and instead persuaded Li Ye to give up attacking Xichuan.

"Your Highness, what Li Zhicheng said is reasonable, Xichuan's vitality is greatly damaged, even if we don't attack Xichuan for the time being, Xichuan will not be able to threaten His Highness in a short time. Now the top priority is to prepare to go out of Shu Dao, King Qin. Xu Shiren also stood up and said loudly.

Li Ye looked at the letter sent by Li Yingxu, and also fell into deep thought.

As soon as the news of the defeat in Shayuan reached Chang'an, Li Yingxu took Princess Anhua, Princess Changning and King Mu out of Chang'an.

And Liu Kui led a part of the Shence army to retreat to Fengxiang with Li Yi.

It is certain that the attack on Xichuan will be stopped, and compared to the attack on Xichuan, the most important thing is to enter Chang'an. It's just that he had to give up when he saw the weak Xichuan, and Li Ye was also a little unwilling.

But there was no way, he didn't have many troops at his disposal. If he wants to participate in Guanzhong, the main force of the Tiance Army will definitely have to move, so that he will not be able to attack Xichuan.

Li Ye nodded, "Xichuan will definitely not be able to fight, but if you give up like this, this king is a little unwilling." He sent someone to Chengdu Mansion and told Chen Jingxuan that the king could not attack Xichuan, but he must pay two million guan in compensation and cede Wenzhou, Victoria, and Maozhou. ”

Two million guan is an astronomical amount, but after Li Ye left Chengdu Mansion, Chen Jingxuan almost annexed Li Ye's tea business in Xichuan. He Dingxuan thought that he could ride the wall to avoid persecution, but his property was still forcibly occupied by He Dingxuan.

It can be said that in the past few years, Chen Jingxuan has collected a lot of money in Xichuan, and two million yuan can be said to be a huge amount of money for others, but for Chen Jingxuan, he can still take it out by gritting his teeth.

"Your Highness, as long as Your Highness gives 5,000 cavalry, Your Highness is willing to go to Chengdu, and let Chen Jingxuan agree to His Highness's conditions."

Li Zhen quickly stood up, saluted Li Ye, and said righteously.

Traitor.

Seeing that Li Zhen was so impatient, although the others didn't say it on the surface, they were scolding each other in their hearts, which was too obvious.

However, there were still a few people who had this idea, but before they could take the initiative to ask for help, Li Ye spoke.

"Since Li Zhicheng is willing to go, then this matter will be handed over to Li Zhicheng, I hope not to disappoint this king."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely complete the entrustment of His Highness." Li Zhen smiled.

Li Zhen also saw the dissatisfaction of other people, but he didn't care, and if he wanted to blame it, he blamed himself for his slow movements.

Although Li Ye had already decided to return to the court, he did not set off immediately, but waited for news from Chengdu.

When Li Zhen came to the city of Chengdu Mansion with 5,000 cavalry soldiers, the entire Chengdu Mansion was like a great enemy, and if the Tiance army really attacked on a large scale, he was ready to abandon the city and flee.

He learned the news of the annihilation of more than 40,000 troops on the same day, and although he could not accept this result, the facts were in front of him, and he could not accept it.

Under the persuasion of his staff, Chen Jingxuan hurriedly organized the young men in the city and temporarily put together an army of 40,000. But these are all improvised patchwork, many people were still shopkeepers and slaves two days ago, relying on them to defend the city, basically no play.

And from the mouths of the routs who fled back, it was learned that the Tiance army had a siege weapon, and even if the Chengdu Mansion was thick with high walls, I am afraid it would not be able to stop the attack of the Tiance army.

This undoubtedly made Chen Jingxuan even more frightened, he didn't know why the former weak Shouwang was so powerful now, but the current situation also made him have no time to think about this.

Therefore, when the cavalry of the 5,000 Tiance Army arrived at the city of Chengdu, many soldiers directly chose to escape.

However, the Tiance army outside did not attack the city, but sent people to deliver the message. In the end, when he learned that as long as he agreed to King Shou's conditions, King Shou could not attack Chengdu, Chen Jingxuan was like grasping a life-saving straw.

However, when he learned that King Shou wanted 3 million guan and the conditions of ceding four states (Li Zhen added capital states without authorization), Chen Jingxuan found it difficult to accept.

In the end, under Li Zhen's incorruptible tongue and intimidation, Chen Jingxuan promised to raise 2.5 million yuan within five days and cede the four prefectures of capital, culture, Wei, and Mao.

Two and a half million guan is also an astronomical amount for Chen Jingxuan, but it can be made up.

In order to make up this money, the treasury of Chengdu Prefecture, Shuzhou, Pengzhou and Jiedu was basically emptied, and 1 million guan was forcibly apportioned from merchants in Chengdu Prefecture and some local families, and the insufficient was supplemented with silk and grain.

When Li Zhen happily went back with the news to wait for Li Ye's reward, Li Ye not only did not have a reward, but also did not give Li Zhen a good face.

Simpleton?

You're only two hundred and five, and your whole family is two hundred and five.

Isn't it okay to have two hundred and four?

Isn't it okay to have two hundred and six?

Do you have to be two hundred and five?

Li Ye's reaction made Li Zhen also puzzled, and later learned from Zhang Wei that Li Ye didn't like the number 'two hundred and five', which made Li Zhen feel like he was patting the horse's hooves.

In the end, he asked Chen Jingxuan to add another 50,000 yuan, and Li Ye's face looked better.

Taking out more than two million guan at once is undoubtedly a big amount for Xichuan. In order to scrape together this money, Chen Jingxuan forcibly apportioned taxes to local families and merchants, which also made Chen Jingxuan's rule in Xichuan unstable.

Without this money, it will be difficult for Xichuan to recover in a short time, and when Li Ye stabilizes the situation in Guanzhong, it will be the end of Chen Jingxuan.

After receiving the money, Li Ye asked Jinyiwei to be in charge of escorting, and after arranging some things, he quickly rushed back to Xingyuan Mansion.

Due to the changes in Chang'an, Li Ye did not follow the previous method to let Zhang Shi'an serve as the puppet envoy, but decided to concurrently serve as the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival.

For the four deputy positions, Li Ye has also considered it.

Sun Ye served as the political envoy, Zhang Shi'an served as the marching Sima, Zheng Ningji served as the observer envoy, and Xuezheng was served by the Yuzhou Assassin Shi.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

As for Liu Lin, he took over as the assassin of Yuzhou.

This is not over, there are still half of Dongchuan's states that are not under Li Ye's control.

According to Li Ye's idea, Dongchuan should implement reforms in full accordance with Shannan West Road, including the assassination of Shi not holding military power, the implementation of commercial taxes, and so on.

In addition to these, the army is the most important, as long as you master the army, you can master Dongchuan.

Because Li Ye had to take the main force of the Tiance Army to Guanzhong at any time, he couldn't leave too many troops in Dongchuan.

So Li Ye appointed Liu Qi as the general of the Right Tiance Army (located under the general, above the Zhonglang General, from the third grade), under the jurisdiction of the front and rear left, center and right five compartments of soldiers and horses, and was ordered to form a new Right Tiance Army in Zizhou with the front of the original Right Tiance Army as the main front.

The full strength of the Right Tiance Army will reach 35,000 people, and the shortage of soldiers will be filled by the state soldiers and surrendered troops. The Right Tiance Army has two lieutenant generals, Peng He and Yuan Zhiqing, and the five commanders are Li Jian, Shi Ling, Jin Hui, Sun Jiameng and other five people.

After the formation was completed, the front compartment was stationed in Lutouguan, the middle and rear compartments were stationed in Zizhou, the left compartment was stationed in Tongzhou, and the right compartment was stationed in Yuzhou.

The position of general of Zuo Tiance Army is still held by Li Hong, Zhao Xiong and Ouyang Jing serve as Zhonglang generals, and the five generals under his jurisdiction are all from the original Tiance Army except for Wang Jian and Zhang Zao, among which Qin Yi'an became the first student of the Martial Arts Academy to become a commander.

Compared with the Right Tiance Army, which is basically composed of state soldiers and surrendered troops, the Left Tiance Army is the main force of the original Tiance Army. And Li Ye also transferred a part of the elite from the original Tiance Army into the Jinyi Guard, and used the war horses captured in the first battle of Mianzhou to expand the Jinyi Guard to 10,000 people.

At the same time, the Shenji Battalion also began to expand, with a Tiance artillery capital, a Shenji gun capital, a Shenji arrow capital, a cavalry capital, and a logistics capital, with a total strength of 7,000 people.

Unlike the Left Tiance Army, the Right Tiance Army currently only exists on paper, and everything has to be formed by Liu Qi, Peng He, Yuan Zhiqing and others in the next time. Fortunately, Xichuan was defeated, and the remaining states in Dongchuan did not dare to make trouble, so Liu Qi and others had time to form the Right Tiance Army.

Due to the increasingly complicated situation in the Guannei, under Li Ye's order, Zuo Tiance's army, Jinyiwei and Shenji battalion assembled in Xingyuan Mansion.

After giving these orders, Li Ye quickly rushed back to Xingyuan Mansion.

Li Ye's return undoubtedly gave Xingyuan Mansion a backbone.

Previously, due to the news of the deterioration of the situation in Chang'an, the entire Xingyuan Mansion was in a lot of noise, and Wang Hui and others thought that they should send troops to Qin Wang. However, the army of Shannan West Road was basically taken away by Li Ye, and the rest of the army would be useless even if it went to King Qin.

However, with the battle of Mianzhou, the news of the defeat of the Dongxichuan coalition army in Shannan West Road reached Xingyuan Mansion.

The attitude of Wang Hui and others has also changed, although they still insist on sending troops to serve the king, but they are not so eager.

He is not a fool, he knows the impact of the first battle in Mianzhou. Although he did not capture Xichuan in the end, King Shou, who controlled more than 20 prefectures of Shannan West Province and Dongchuan, became more stable.

And he also knew that King Shou, who controlled more than 20 states in the two provinces, would definitely not continue to be silent, and now that the situation in Guanzhong was chaotic, it was impossible for King Shou not to ask.

And the ability shown by King Shou also made him let go of his past prejudices.
