In January of the second year of Guangqi of the Tang Dynasty (886 AD), Li Xuan was persuaded by the prince, Pei Xuan, Pei Che and other ministers of the court, and after the five concessions, he was the emperor of Chang'an, changed the Yuan and Jianzhen, and respected Li Yi as the Holy Emperor of Taishangyuan.

After Li Xuan became the emperor, he decreed that Zhu Mei should be canonized as a servant and in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. With Pei Che as the subordinate waiter and Zheng Changtu as the Chinese scholar, they are all peaceful and peaceful.

After Li Xuan was proclaimed emperor, Zhu Mei, Li Changfu, and Wang Chongrong paid tribute one after another, and other feudal towns also paid tribute one after another, and for a time there was a great trend of replacing the old emperor with the new emperor.

Although this seems to be the general trend, neither Li Keyong, the king of Longxi County in the Tunbing River, nor Li Ye, the king of Shou who is eyeing the Xingyuan Mansion, or Zhu Wen, who quells the rebellion of Qin Zongquan, have not expressed their recognition of Li Xuan's legitimacy.

In order to make Li Xuan's accession to the throne more legitimate, in February, Zhu Mei ordered Li Changfu to lead 30,000 Fengxiang troops and 10,000 Suining troops to attack Tian Lingzi and welcome back Emperor Li Yi.

At this time, Baoji's troops were not more than 10,000, and in the face of the 40,000 army led by Li Changfu, the small court in Baoji was suddenly panicked.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly, when the rebels come, they will definitely not bypass Your Majesty. Since King Xiang dares to be the emperor, he will definitely not let His Majesty return to Chang'an alive, and the only way to leave Baoji and go to Fengzhou for temporary refuge is at this time. Hearing that Zhu Mei sent Li Changfu to lead an army of 40,000 to attack, Tian Lingzi hurriedly ran over and prepared to leave with Li Yi.

"Father, if you want to go, you can go by yourself, if I don't leave, I won't believe him Li Changfu dares to kill the king." Seeing King Xiang proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, Li Yi's mood became very bad, and he was respected as the emperor at a young age, who can feel comfortable?

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

For a while, Li Yi's stubborn temper came up, perhaps he felt in his heart that no one dared to blatantly kill him, the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you must leave today." Li Changfu's army was very fast and had already arrived in Fengxiang, and Fengxiang had only been in Baoji for a day, and it would be too late to be late.

Therefore, Tian Lingzi planned to use force again and forcibly take Li Yi away, since the other party did not cooperate, he naturally did not have to be polite.

"Tian Lingzi, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? ”

Just as Tian Lingzi was about to forcibly leave with Li Yi, Yang Fugong and Liu Kui hurriedly broke into the courtyard with the army.

Seeing the people, Tian Lingzi was also a little surprised, there were all his people around, how did these two people come in?

"Gonggong Yang, do you want Your Majesty to die at the hands of a traitor?"

Although Li Yi used Yang Fugong, the other party was just a privy envoy in name only. It's just that he didn't expect Liu Kui to join forces with Yang Fugong, which caught him off guard.

Behind Liu Kui is King Shou, Liu Kui and Yang Fugong join forces, doesn't it mean that King Shou and Yang Fugong have joined forces again?

For King Shou, now Tian Lingzi is not hateful, but fearful.

Before, he always thought that King Shou was defeated by the Dongxichuan coalition army, and even if he still controlled the Shannan West Road, he couldn't make big waves. But I didn't expect that after arriving in Baoji, I learned from the mouth sent by Niu Miao that the Dongxichuan coalition army was defeated and Gao Renhou was killed, if it weren't for the fact that Chang'an was breached, Xichuan was almost captured.

Even so, his brother paid more than two million yuan for this to let King Shou retire.

And according to the news from Niu Miao, the Tiance Army is now assembling in Xingyuan Mansion and is ready to send troops to Guanzhong at any time.

He and King Shou don't actually have any deep hatred. Just because King Shou was against him, he drove King Shou out of the court, but he didn't expect that this would instead fulfill King Shou and make him bigger in Shannan West Road.

He originally wanted to seize control of the salt pond in the river and then deal with King Shou. Who would have thought that not only did he not grab the salt pool, but let Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong attack Chang'an, and he was also reduced to such a point.

Li Yi no longer trusts him, Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong want to kill him, how can the former allies Zhu Mei and Li Changfu support Li Xuan, the king of Xiang, as the emperor, can imagine himself, King Shou is not in harmony with him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Tian Lingzi is embattled at this time.

"Gonggong Tian is too worried, King Shou has already sent Li Hong to lead the 35,000 troops of Zuo Tiance Army out of Chencang and Baoxian to come to the rescue, we only need to hold out in Baoji for two days." Liu Kui, who was dressed in armor, said in a deep voice.

Zuo Tiance Army? Thirty-five thousand?

Hearing Liu Kui's words, everyone present had different thoughts.

You must know that when Li Ye first arrived in Shannan West Road, the Tiance army was only 10,000 people, and later Tian Lingzi cut off the food and salary of the Tiance army, who would have thought that the strength of the Tiance army not only did not weaken, but increased so much.

If there is a left Tiance army, wouldn't there be a right Tiance army? The Left Tiance Army has 35,000 people, which means that the Right Tiance Army may also have so many troops?

Thinking of this, the mood of the people present can be described as mixed.

Tian Lingzi is naturally afraid;

Li Yi was in a daze, he didn't expect that the young Shouwang in his impression had such strength in his hands;

Wei Zhaodu, Kong Wei and other ministers don't know what they are thinking, now that His Majesty is weak, Zhu Mei supports the heir of Li Xuan, the king of Xiang, as the emperor, and now that King Shou has such a strong military strength in his hands, will he not care about the position of emperor.

These ministers naturally know that the emperor Li Yu is mediocre and incompetent, but the new emperor in their hearts should be Li Bao, the king of Ji, and now that they look at it this way, King Ji is not the opponent of King Shou at all.

And Wei Zhaodu was also worried in his heart, he had said a lot of bad things about King Shou in front of His Majesty because of the forced business tax in the clan before, and now King Shou may rise, and I don't know if he will settle accounts after the autumn.

Yang Fugong's mood is also very complicated, at this time he and Shouwang are in a cooperative relationship. The two worked together in their early years, but at that time he looked down on King Shou, and later broke off his cooperation with King Shou because he didn't want to offend Tian Lingzi.

Although the emperor has reactivated him now, at this time the Shence army collapsed, and the Shence army in Baoji did not even have 10,000 people, and these were still in the hands of Tian Lingzi and Liu Kui.

It's not that he doesn't have to rely on, his cousin's righteous son Yang Shouxin is in Fengzhou, and he has thousands of troops in his hands. This time, when he went out of the mountain, he sent a letter to Yang Shouxin, and the other party soon led the army to support, which is also his biggest reliance at present.

If Yang Shouliang also came, it would naturally be better. However, Yang Shouliang is in Shangzhou, and far water can't quench his thirst.

As for befriending Li Keyong, it's all false.

Thinking that King Shou would lead tens of thousands of troops to come to the rescue, I don't know what the situation of this partnership will be.

"Out of Chen Cangdao?" Tian Lingzi noticed this detail, was a little worried in his heart, and asked tentatively.

Tian Lingzi asked, and everyone was also a little curious about why the Tiance Army would leave here.

From Xingyuan Mansion to Baoji County, there are roughly three roads: first, the first choice is Lianyun Road, Lianyun Road is divided into three sections, starting from Xingyuan Mansion is to take the Bao Slope Road, the middle part is the newly built Lianyun Road, from Fengzhou to Baoji is to follow the Chencang Road, this road is the nearest road from Xingyuan Mansion to Baoji; The second is to take the slope directly, and then go west from Yixian County to Baoji; The third Chencang Road is the farthest, because it has to pass through Xingzhou, which is equivalent to going around a big circle.

It stands to reason that King Shou's army came from Xingyuan Mansion to take Lianyun Road and Baochuan Road, but Liu Kui said that he would take Chencang Road, and they didn't think Liu Kui was a slip of the tongue.

"Returning to Father-in-law Tian, according to His Royal Highness's order, there are indeed more than 10,000 troops who take advantage of Xingzhou to take Chencang Road to Baoji." A young man behind Liu Kui said suddenly.

"Who are you?" Looking at the young man in front of him, Tian Lingzi felt a little familiar.

He can be sure that the person in front of him is the person next to King Shou, he has an impression, but he can't remember the specific identity.

"In the history of the Xiashou Palace--- Li Yingxu." The young man smiled.

Hearing Li Yingxu's identity, everyone suddenly realized that the previous wedding of Princess Changning was Chang'an, which came on behalf of King Shou. Everyone had heard of this Shouwang from the Li clan of Zhao County, but they didn't expect to be so young.

At this moment, a eunuch came to Tian Lingzi's side and whispered a few words in his ear, and saw that the other party's face changed greatly.

Tian Lingzi waved his hand, then looked at Li Yingxu with an unkind expression, and said sharply, "What does King Shou want to do?" Why attack the Righteous Army? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of getting rid of the bandits." Li Yingxu said lightly.

"Okay, you get rid of the bandits, let's see that King Shou doesn't want to save the driver, but takes the opportunity to expand his power, with bad intentions."

No wonder Tian Lingzi was so angry, he originally wanted to take Li Yi to Fengzhou for temporary refuge, who would have thought that Li Ye would let the Tiance army occupy Xingfeng Erzhou. At this time, he took Li Yi to Fengzhou, what is the difference between throwing himself into the net?

"No matter what Father-in-law Tian says, but at present, only King Shou will save His Majesty. Compared to King Shou, shouldn't Gonggong Tian reflect? Why was His Majesty forced to leave Chang'an, and why did Zhu Mei dare to support Li Xuan, the heir of Xiang, as emperor?

Isn't Grandpa Tian responsible in this? Li Yingxu said bluntly, and asked Tian Lingzi step by step.

"Be bold, come on, drag this traitor out of our family." Annoyed and angry, Tian Lingzi shouted.

As soon as Tian Lingzi's words fell, more than a dozen soldiers of the Shence Army surrounded him, but the soldiers around Liu Kui and Yang Shouxin stepped forward one after another, and dozens of soldiers on both sides confronted each other in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, Weichen believes that Tian Lingzi should be held responsible for the current situation, and I ask Your Majesty to severely punish Tian Lingzi to calm the anger of the feudal town."

Just when the two sides were confronting, Wei Zhaodu on the side saluted Li Yi, and then said in a loud voice, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." Kong Wei also stood up.

There is no doubt that these ministers saw that Tian Lingzi was almost finished, so they beat the water dogs one after another.

Although Tian Lingzi was furious, he thought that he still controlled thousands of Shence troops, and he was determined that he didn't want to give up the power in his hands like this.

Everyone's attention quickly focused on Li Yi, and the meaning of Yang Fugong and Liu Kui next to him was obvious, as long as he, the emperor, gave an order, the two of them would let their soldiers do it.

Facing everyone's expectations, Li Yi hesitated for a while and said, "Although Father is at fault, it is also for the sake of the imperial court, so let's wait until King Shou's reinforcements arrive." ”

Seeing that Li Yi couldn't make up his mind at this time, Liu Kui and the others were a little disappointed. Just as he was about to persuade Li Yi to go to Fengzhou for temporary refuge, but Li Yi didn't know what to think, he just didn't want to leave.

And Tian Lingzi, who had always wanted to leave Baoji and go to Fengzhou, was reluctant to go, and now that Fengzhou has been occupied by the Tiance army, he naturally will not go to Fengzhou. But if you don't go to Fengzhou, where else can you go?

Just when Li Yi was hesitating, in the early morning of the next day, Li Changfu led a large army to Baoji City and surrounded Baoji.

At this time, even if Li Yi wants to go, he can't go!
