Just as Chang'an was preparing to attack Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong's palace supervisor Dou Luda surrendered to the Li Tang court. Wang Shichong saw that people's hearts were being lost day by day, so he used torture to strictly control them, and one person in the family fled, and the whole family, young and old, was killed one after another, and fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands and wives could be exonerated as long as they denounced each other.

He also ordered the five families to be one to supervise each other, and if anyone defected and the neighbors did not find out, the neighbors around him were to be put to death. Executions continued one after another, people defected more and more, and even those who went up to the mountains to cut firewood had time limits for going out and coming back, so that everyone in the public and private households was in danger and could not live.

This goods also used the palace as a big prison, and whenever there was suspicion, they tied up their families and sent them to the palace for imprisonment. Whenever a general was sent out to fight, his relatives were also detained in the palace as hostages.

The imprisoned people were one by one, no less than ten thousand people, without food, dozens of people died of starvation a day. Wang Shichong recruited troops to fight endlessly, the stock of grain was quickly eaten up, and the people in the city ate human flesh.

Some people took the mud and put it in the clay urn, washed it with water, sank the sand and gravel to the bottom, took out the mud that floated on it, mixed the bran bran into it, and made cakes to eat, and everyone was swollen and their legs and feet were weak, and they lay on the road one by one unable to move. Even Wang Shichong's Shang Shulang, Lu Junye, Guo Zigao and others starved to death in the ravine.

After Wang Shichong learned that the Tang army was coming, he hurriedly dispatched troops to prepare to resist the enemy, and he thought that he should have the strength to fight, because he had expected that Chang'an would take himself as his next target when Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were annihilated, so he had already prepared for mobilization.

According to Tang Zheng's military comparison, although he was slightly weaker, he won the battle on his own soil, and he was on the defensive, and there should have been a more tragic tug-of-war scene, but as soon as the war began, the situation on his side deteriorated rapidly, and the defenders from all over the country surrendered without a fight. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Wang Shichong personally came out to ask Li Er for peace, and the two sides negotiated outside Luoyang City across Luoshui, but in the end the peace talks broke down. At this time, Wang Shichong had lost the ability to fight against the Tang army alone, and he had no choice but to ask for help, but who would ask for help?

Looking around, Dou Jiande on the Hebei side was beaten half to death by Li Chengzong, and now he is in a state of being half-injured and half-paralyzed, Du Fuwei in the south has also surrendered to Chang'an, and only Li Chengzong in the east is left who has the ability to pull Wang Shichong, but this Li Chengzong is from the Li Tang royal family, although he and Li Jiancheng on the Chang'an side are like fire and water, but the broken bones are still connected to the tendons, Li Chengzong is the descendant of the Li Tang royal family after all, can he really save himself? Wang Shichong also has fifteen buckets of water in his heart, seven up and eight down, there is no number at all.

But he had no choice, because if Li Chengzong didn't come to the rescue, then after the city of Luoyang was broken, it would not be a good end for him to wait for him, so he sent his friend Duan Da to Qindao with a heavy salute, ready to ask for a meeting with Li Chengzong, the king of Han, and try to persuade the king of Han to send troops to rescue him......

On the other hand, Chang'an had already given Li Xiuning a task, that is, to go to Qindao to ask for the jade seal of the country, and at worst, to drag Li Chengzong so that he had no time to look west, so Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, took a ticket to Shandong to see Li Chengzong, who had not seen him for seven years.......

On the way to Qindao, Pingyang princess Li Xiuning learned that Li Chengzong's little couple had a conflict with the scholars some time ago, she was in such a hurry, good nephew, how can you provoke the scholars, you must know that the people standing behind them are all families, this is unwise........

When he arrived in Qindao City, Li Chengzong was very happy when he learned that it was his cheap aunt Li Xiuning who came, and he also wanted to meet Her Royal Highness the famous princess.......

"Nephew Chengzong, I haven't seen you for many years, but you have grown up........ If Sister Zhizhi had a spirit in the sky, she would also be happy for you........" When he saw Li Xiuning, Li Chengzong was surprised, this is the famous heroine? It's not like it at all, it's just a beautiful little woman.......

"Auntie, can you let me go first? And you women are in trouble, just like Yang Rong, why do you have so many tears? My shirt is wet, but you're the commander of the famous women's army, how can you ........ "be a beautiful woman. It doesn't feel good for the woman to hug her hard.

"Hmph, little skin monkey, I'm your aunt, what's wrong with hugging you? You must know that the first person you saw when you were born was me, not your mother...... "It turns out that Li Xiuning is a big witch, she glanced at Yang Rong who was standing next to her, "Ji'er girl, why did you change your name too?" Why don't you recognize me??? Hahaha, I'm your sister Xiuning, no, you should call me aunt now......"

Yang Rong: "....................."

Li Xiuning did not say her true intention as soon as she came up, but claimed that she finally had time to see her nephew and niece and daughter-in-law, and the most important thing was to see her little nephew come......

When he settled down and was chatting, Li Xiuning asked Li Chengzong why he fell out with the scholars, and said that it was so unwise, Li Chengzong told Li Xiuning about this conflict, and finally said that he had his own countermeasures, and when he heard that the literati and the family had begun to smear Li Chengzong, Li Chengzong replied very domineeringly: "Aunt, don't worry, this king is not afraid, they are just chickens and dogs!" ”

A good king is not afraid, a good chicken! Li Xiuning admires this nephew of hers in her heart, in her opinion, her good nephew is no worse than the talented second brother Li Er, and may even exceed it, but the problem is also here, Li Er and Li Da on the Chang'an side have already made a lot of trouble, if her nephew of the young hero is also involved, this .........

Li Xiuning is the originator of the Women's Army, leading the army as a woman and laying a foundation for the Tang Dynasty. The military discipline of her women's army is very strict, Princess Pingyang must carry out her orders, and the entire army respects her. In those years of rebellion, this army was widely supported.

The common people called Princess Pingyang "Li Niangzi" and her army "Lady Army". The Women's Army is famous, and many people have traveled thousands of miles to come. Princess Pingyang's military intuition and insight can be called a genius, and the Sui general Qu Tutong once suffered several defeats under her.

As the only female general in the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiuning's military talent is very outstanding, and after Li Chengzong invited her to review the honor guard of the Han army, she exclaimed that the world's strongest soldiers are all in Hanhu? It can be seen how powerful Li Chengzong's Han army was, and its influence on Li Xiuning was great. At the same time, Li Xiuning decisively adjusted his opinion of his nephew, it turned out that he really grew up, but it was not good to grow up, there are strong soldiers in the world, if he has his own plan to compete for that chair, then what should his father, big brother, do? What to do on your own? But she didn't dare to ask directly, she was afraid to hear the almost inevitable answer........
