After Liu Wuzhou obtained the support of several major tribes in Monan, he began to parade with Song Jingang in a majestic honor guard around Dingxiang City, so that the Han people around Dingxiang who came to Dingxiang to do business knew that Liu Wuzhou, the Khan of Dingyang, and Song Jingang, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of Mayi, had gained new power. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info also secretly sent secret agents to mix in the caravan, spreading some gossip everywhere, for a while, the entire Hedong Mayi area originally belonged to Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's old subordinates were panicked, and a large number of gossips flew all over the sky:

"Ugh! Did you hear that? Now, the ancestor Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang Song Marshal appeared in Monan Dingxiang. Neither the ancestor nor Marshal Song died. ”

"Hmmm! I also heard my second uncle who went to Dingxiang to do business a few days ago, especially the ancestor Liu Wuzhou, the ancestor Liu Wuzhou got the favor and help of the gods when he was in Dingxiang, and eliminated the demon who had been entrenched in the desert grassland for many years. ”

"Hmmm! I've heard about it, and I've heard that the demon likes the blood of women, especially the blood of beautiful young virgins, and likes to suck the blood of virgins dry before turning their corpses into ritual weapons. ”

"Ugh! I also heard that the demon not only likes the blood of virgins, but also likes to eat babies that are not formed in the womb of pregnant women, His Majesty Liu Wuzhou just saw the demon's behavior, and he hated this kind of cruel murder, so he prayed to the heavens, and after the heavens heard the prayers of the ancestors, they gave divine power to the ancestors, so the ancestors had this supreme power. ”

"Huh! I also heard that His Majesty Liu Wuzhou immediately did it at that time, and I saw that His Majesty Liu Wuzhou was immediately eight feet tall, turned into three heads and six arms, and held eighteen weapons to fight against that demon! ”

"Hey! Xi Lao Si, the ancestor only has six hands, how can he take eighteen weapons? ”

"Hmmm! Do the eighteen weapons of the ancestors change in turn? Belch! I said He Ergou, can you not interrupt. It was seen with the eyes of the major tribes of Monan that day, is this still false? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense! ”

"Hmmm! Oh, yes! I also heard that after His Majesty Liu Wuzhou killed that demon, His Majesty Liu Wuzhou moved the entire mountain to that place in order to suppress the demon and prevent the demon from waking up. Let that demon never recover after death, and never be able to live forever! ”……

The rumors among the people of the eastern part of the Mayi River also affected the morale of the army in the eastern part of the Mayi River, and the garrisons in the eastern part of the Mayi River, especially the old troops with ties to Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, panicked after hearing the news. A lot of people are secretly talking:

"Ugh! Have you heard about the things in the city? His Majesty the First Lord Liu Wuzhou and Marshal Song Jingang and Song may be about to return to Mayi. ”

"Yes! We were the subordinates of the ancestor at the beginning, and now that we belong to the Tang Dynasty, will His Majesty Liu Wuzhou settle accounts with us after he returns! ”

"No, it won't! The first lord treated the people and the soldiers under the tree very well. ”

"Not necessarily! Now is a troubled time, human life is like mustard, who is not killing people for the morning. When he was in power, he was preaching benevolence and love for the people, in my opinion, it was all bullshit. Let's run! ”

"Hmmm! You're right, why don't you run together! A large number of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's old subordinates, as well as Li Shimin and Li Yuanji's newly recruited soldiers in the area of Mayi in Hedong, were also affected, and the large-scale flight of soldiers and officers began. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji's officials who stayed behind in Mayi, Hedong, immediately sent special envoys to report to Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, who were still in Chang'an, and Li Jiancheng also learned about Liu Wuzhou's strategy through the secret line of the Qilin secret guard in the Hedong area and Lu Shengzhi's secret letter. In my heart, I immediately brought Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Huang Wenqing, Di Zhixun, Wang Gui and others together to discuss countermeasures:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now there is the secret letter of the Qilin comfort of Ma Yi and the great treasurer of Lu Shengzhi (Lu Shengzhi joined the Qilin Secret Guard except for Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie, no one else knows), and now one thing has been proven, that Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, the two traitors, have now established themselves in the area of Dingxiang in Monan with the support of the Turkic Lili Khan, and now the military and people's hearts in the east of the Mayi River are greatly fluctuating, if no strong measures are taken, Then the area east of the Mayi River, which has just fallen to our dynasty, is likely to fall into the hands of the enemy again. As soon as the east of the Mayi River is lost, then our connection with Youzhou will be cut off, and neither Dou Jiande of Qilu nor Lingli Khan of the Turks will let go of this piece of fat at that time. After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, the advisers present all lowered their heads, and Wang Guixian said:

"What Your Highness said is very true! Now the first thing we have to do is to stabilize the military and people's hearts in Hedong Mayi, so Weichen proposed that His Royal Highness must immediately let His Royal Highness King Qi and His Royal Highness King Qin quickly return to Hedong Mayi to sit in the army, so that large-scale turmoil can be prevented. Li Jiancheng nodded, and Di Zhixon added:

"Your Royal Highness, there is one more thing, that is, His Royal Highness must remind His Royal Highness the King of Qi that he must be lenient with the old department of Liu Wuzhou in the area of Mayi, because His Royal Highness the King of Qi is different from His Royal Highness the King of Qin, on the one hand, Mayi has been operated by Liu Wuzhou for many years, Liu Wuzhou has been deeply rooted in the area of Mayi, and there are many old departments, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin is mainly located in Hedong, coupled with the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the army of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang itself is a little afraid of the King of Qin, and when attacking the area of Hedong, the people opened warehouses and released grain, and hung filial piety for Liu Wuzhou to send the funeral and set up a clothed mound, gathered a lot of military hearts and people's hearts, and Wei Chi Jingde assisted on the side, so Hedong on the one hand may not have much turmoil, and on the other hand, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, when he was in Taiyuan, was defeated by the soldiers and horses of Mayi, although later used the strategy of Ruhui and Xuanling, temporarily gathered the military heart of the Mayi area, and broke the Mayi from the inside of the Mayi, but the old department of Liu Wuzhou in the Mayi area is still quite large, so it is the most changeable, third, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is irritable, irritable, and Weichen is also afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Qi will use the name of cleaning, If there are too many killings, it will provoke change when the time comes. After Li Jiancheng listened to Di Zhixun's words, he immediately nodded and said:

"Yes! Therefore, the palace decided that after the palace entered the palace, it would apply to his father and the emperor to patrol the northern capital Taiyuan. Carry out propaganda and pacification in the area of Mayi in Hedong. As soon as they heard Li Jiancheng's words, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Huang Wenqing, Di Zhixun, Wang Gui and others immediately admonished Li Jiancheng:

"Ahh Your Highness! The situation in Mayi is very dangerous now, please think twice. Li Jiancheng explained his thoughts to Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Huang Wenqing, Di Zhixun, Wang Gui and others:

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your kindness, but this trip to the northern capital of Mayi, this palace must go." Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Huang Wenqing, Di Zhixun, Wang Gui and others paused for a moment, and asked Li Jiancheng together:

"The ministers are stupid, please explain one or two things to Your Highness."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this palace wants to go to the northern capital this time because of the following considerations: first, Master Di Zhixun Di has already said that the area of Mayi has been operated by Liu Wuzhou for many years, and the prestige of Yuanji itself is not enough, second, Taiyuan Hedong is the land of the emperor's dragon and prosperity, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, so it is natural and righteous to be appeased by the palace, and third, once Luoyang and Shandong know that there are changes in the area of Mayi Hedong, I am afraid they will not stand idly by; Third, Bengong wants to be passive and defensive is not as advantageous as offensive, Bengong is wondering if it is to enter Luoyang or Le Shou to deter Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, so as to warn them not to act rashly. Wei Zheng added another sentence at the end:

"Your Royal Highness, if Your Highness can get this errand of Xuanfu Taiyuan, is it not this opportunity to woo Yu Chi Jingde a little, send some gold, silver and jewelry, on the one hand, to envelop Yu Chi Jingde, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Yu Chi Jingde, just take this opportunity to sow discord. On the other hand, if Yu Chi Jingde doesn't take the bait, let's find a way, of course, if Yu Chi Jingde dies, then the world's heroes will definitely be discouraged from King Qin. In this way, there will be less resistance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's accession to the throne in the future. Li Jiancheng nodded, and then ordered:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't say anything about today's events. It's not too late to wait until Ma Yi is doing it. Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Huang Wenqing, Di Zhixun, Wang Gui and others neatly said to Li Jiancheng:

"Yes! The ministers obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince. Two days later, the Hedong Army reported to Chang'an, and Li Yuan issued an order, ordering the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, and the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, to enter the palace as soon as possible to discuss:

"The prince Li Jiancheng sees his father! Long live my father, long live, long live! ”

"The son of the king of Qin, Li Shimin, see his father! Long live my father, long live, long live! ”

"The son of the king of Qi, Li Shimin, see his father! Long live my father, long live, long live! ”

"Hmmm! The three emperors are filial, the waning moon, give you a seat! ”

"Thank you, Father!" After the three princes Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji sat down, Li Yuan opened his mouth and said:

"Three emperors, I got a report from the officials left behind in Mayi in Hedong today, and now Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, two traitors, have already done things in the Dingxiang area, especially Liu Wuzhou, it is said that he has learned the demon law in the Turkic steppe area, so I specially invited the three of you today to discuss it together!" Li Shimin spoke first:

"Father! Erchen thought that Liu Wuzhou's acquisition of the demon law in the Turks must be based on false rumors, and there was no need to be afraid! The sons asked the emperor to send the sons to return to Hedong as soon as possible to ensure the stability of Hedong. Li Yuan nodded:

"King Qin is really a pillar!" Li Yuanji didn't want Li Shimin to gain power in front of Li Yuan, so he immediately got up and asked:

"Father, the emperor, and the sons also ask for an order to go to the area of Mayi to prevent Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's old troops from mutiny." Li Yuan saw that the crown prince Li Jiancheng did not speak, so he asked Li Jiancheng:

"Jiancheng, as the crown prince, why don't you say a word!?" Li Jiancheng stood up:

"Father! Erchen also wanted to ask for a decree to appease Taiyuan. As soon as Li Yuan saw that the three princes were going, he was stunned for a while and did not speak.
