Guo Chongtao offered advice to the emperor and asked the emperor to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger in Xishu.

The emperor adopted Guo Chongtao's plan.

The emperor decided to send troops after the autumn.

Soon it's time for the fall to come.

At this time, the soldiers who had been sent by the emperor also collected the grain they had grown.

Didn't the emperor let some soldiers go to the wasteland to grow grain in the spring? Now they have reaped all the grain they had sown.

The emperor was very happy to see the grain grown by the soldiers.

Because this grain can be used as part of the military salary. Because with this food, it is possible to collect less taxes from the common people. Because with this food, the burden of the common people can be lightened. At the same time, I can also have a better impression in the eyes of the people.

The emperor saw that it was time to raise troops at this time, so the emperor ordered the troops to rise.

A few days later, the emperor's 200,000 troops marched towards Xishu.

In this way, Guo Chongtao's plan to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger kicked off.

*******

Soon, the investigation report of Xishu reported Li Tang's dispatch of troops to Xishu to Xishu.

What is Xishu doing now?

The current Xishu is very chaotic.

Since the last time the Xishu troops sent to Chang'an, they failed, and their country began to be chaotic.

Because when they sent troops to Chang'an this time, their emperor Wang Yan was seriously injured. Their emperor Wang Yan was unconscious for a long time.

Their emperor has been unconscious for a long time, and there are some things that can't be handled, what should I do? Some matters were handled by their marshal De Yihai. It's just that their marshal De Yihai is a person who knows how to get power without knowing anything. Do you say that Xishu can not be messy?

******

After De Yihai returned from the defeat of Chang'an this time, he saw that their emperor Wang Yan had been unconscious, and he had already coveted the seizure of power, of course he would not miss this good opportunity for him.

Since then, De Yihai has planned to seize power.

If you want to seize power, of course, you must first cultivate his power. If you want to seize power, of course, you must first find ways to eliminate all the people he thinks are not suitable.

De Yihai began to act.

Those people that De Yihai thinks are inappropriate, he tries every means to find fault in them, tries every means to oust them from power, and even sets up a white tiger hall to harm others like Gao Yu harmed Lin Chong. Those who De Yihai thinks are suitable, he will vigorously promote. Even if someone he thinks is right and kills someone and makes a mistake, he will say that the evidence is insufficient and will not punish him.

*******

Now, De Yihai had just finished dealing with the things he wanted to deal with, and at this time, the news came, saying that Li Tang's brigade was coming to Xishu.

As soon as De Yihai heard this, his heart that had just calmed down brought it up again.

De Yihai said: What can I do about this?

Then, another report came: "Report! Li Tang's brigade has approached the border of our Xishu! ”

"...... this?"

Didn't kill De Yihai in a hurry!

******

De Yihai hurriedly summoned a few of his subordinates to discuss.

Someone said: "Aren't we in harmony with Chu, Wu, Min, Han, Wu, Vietnam, and Ping, and have the "Seven Nations Alliance"? At this time, we can go and beg them! ”

Another person said: "Even if there is the "Seven Nations Alliance", even if Chu, Wu, Min, Han, Wu, Vietnam, and several countries are willing to help us, they can't help us." The combined strength of the Seven Kingdoms may not be Li Tang's opponent! ”

Because they all know that even if other countries are willing to send troops to help him Xishu, he Xishu may not be able to avoid this disaster. What's more, other countries may not necessarily send troops!

Xishu is in chaos.

******

Let's talk about the imperial palace in Xishu.

At this time, someone had already reported the news of Li Tang's soldiers to Xishu to Wang Yan, the emperor of Xishu.

How is Wang Yan now?

Wang Yan has just gotten better these days, he has eaten more than before, and he can get out of bed and walk a few steps. At this time, the news that Li Tang's soldiers were heading towards their Xishu came.

When Wang Yan heard the news, he almost lay down in fright.

Wang Yanxin said: What can I do?

At this time, someone came to report that Li Tang had sent an envoy to ask for a meeting.

Wang Yan said, "Let him in!" ”

Li Tang's envoy came in.

At this time, Li Tang's envoy handed over a letter to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan took the letter and looked at it, he saw that the letter meant to persuade him to surrender as soon as possible, if he could surrender as soon as possible, Xishu would treat him as well as Sima Zhao did to Liu Chan back then, and he would also let him be the king of peace like Sima Zhao did to Liu Chan back then. Otherwise, if he doesn't surrender, if it leads to a sword war, let him bear the consequences.

At his own risk, of course, let him die.

If you don't surrender when you should have surrendered, it will lead to war, and many people will die, and they won't kill you?

As soon as Wang Yan saw this letter from Li Tang's envoy, he really had the heart to surrender.

Anyway, Wang Yan also understands: If I don't surrender to Li Tang now, I will surrender to De Yihai sooner or later.

Now De Yihai has taken advantage of Wang Yan's illness to dismiss many people loyal to Wang Yan from their posts and kill them. Now there are people on the stage who are all virtuous.

Wang Yanxin said: Anyway, now that I am the emperor again, it doesn't mean much.

*******

Wang Yan's intention to surrender soon let De Yihai know.

Now there are a lot of people around Wang Yan who are virtuous and haihai.

At this time, someone reported the emperor's intention to surrender to De Yihai.

De Yihai listened: Surrender? Where is it okay to surrender?

De Yihai came to find Wang Yan.

When De Yihai arrived at Wang Yan's side, he said to Wang Yan: "Your Majesty, we can't surrender." If we surrender, we have only one dead end. Don't look at what Li Tang said very well now, if you really surrender, he will kill you. In history, after the previous dynasty destroyed the later dynasty, how many of them treated the emperor of the previous dynasty well? ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he almost cried.

Wang Yanxin said: De Yihai, you really want to force me to death!

But, no.

Wang Yan understood: Now I have to surrender hard, and De Yihai can let people arrest him back!

De Yihai instructed the people around the emperor: "Now the emperor needs to recuperate, and no one can disturb the emperor in the future!" ”

*******

Then, De Yihai studied him and went to work.

Now that Li Tang's soldiers are pressing, what can I do?

At this time, someone gave De Yihai an idea, and asked De Yihai to take the "Seven Nations Alliance" to ask for other countries in the south.

De Yihai saw that there was no other good way at this time, so he really sent people to ask for other countries.

******

After that, De Yihai actively trained his troops.

At the same time, De Yihai was also concerned about Li Tang's team.

Fortunately, the news I got in De Yihai a few days ago is okay. Li Tang's brigade was only overwhelmed by large soldiers, and they did not invade with large soldiers.

The news that De Yihai got was that when Li Tang's brigade drove to the Huai Forest on the border between Li Tang and Xishu, they didn't move forward, they stopped there.

Although De Yihai got the news that Li Tang's team stopped and didn't move forward, De Yihai was still very nervous. Li Tang's brigade is not moving forward now, do you know when he will move forward? When a tiger crawls at the door of his house, can he put his mind at ease?

Besides, when De Yihai heard about the place "Acacia Forest", he was still very much in his heart. Because the last time they sent troops to Chang'an, they were unlucky in the locust forest. Because the locust forest is a bad omen for him.

*******

After a few more days, the people sent by De Yihai to envoy to several other countries all returned.

As a result, several other countries spoke almost in one voice: "If Li Tang's soldiers really invade, we will definitely help you, if Li Tang's soldiers do not invade, we can't help you." ”

Because when Li Tang's Guo Chongtao went to the south a few days ago, several southern countries told Guo Chongtao: If Li Tang's brigade did not invade Xishu, they would not care.

Besides, several other countries are also very disgusted with what Xishu did: You have nothing to provoke Li Tang, what are you doing in Chang'an? Now that you have attracted the demons, and you want us to help you exorcise the demons, and we are not your slaves, why should we help you and be called by you?

Therefore, several other countries are not very positive about this.

*******

At this time, De Yihai was really worried.

De Yihai said: What can I do about this?

Several Guo Chongtao, what a knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!

Li Tang's brigade of men and horses pressed the border, which frightened Xishu, and only then did Xishu have civil strife, and then Li Tang sat back and reaped the benefits. >
