At the beginning of November of the first year of Wude, Li Mi took advantage of the momentum of the great victory Yu culture and intended to return to Yanshi and capture the eastern capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yu Kaifeng and the Xingyang army fought hard for a long time and were beheaded by Li Yanqing. After the body was announced, he was sent to Yongqiu and buried next to the graves of his wife and children.

In the thirteenth year of the great cause, Li Mi collected the tombs of his wife and children.

Maybe at that point, he would never have imagined that he would be buried here. Buried with Li Mi, as well as his disciple and his most loyal subordinate, Wang Bodang. When the tombs of Li Mi and Wang Bodang were sent to Yongqiu for burial, countless people felt embarrassed.

At the same time, Wang Fubao, the general of Heishi Pass, ambushed Shan Xiongxin at Heishi Pass, and then mobilized 8,000 elite soldiers from Gong County to recapture Songgao County.

The Songgao County guard Niu Jinda was defeated, and led the remnants of the army to retreat into the Biling Mountains, where he was missing.

Subsequently, Xue Shu's troops directly took Yangcheng County, and occupied Yangcheng County almost without a single soldier.

The next time, the Keishan guard led his troops to surrender, and Li Yanqing finally succeeded in controlling the entire Xingyang County in his hands......

On the tenth day of November, when the news of Li Mi's death reached Yanshi, Shan Xiongxin rebelled in Yanshi, killed Lu Ruzong, and led his troops to join Wang Shichong.

On November 15, Wang Deren, the general of the right Wuhou of the Wagang Army, raised troops in Baima, rebelled out of Wagang, and called himself the King of Shuntian.

After Wang Deren raised his army, he immediately sent troops to seize Yanjin and beheaded Li Gongyi's brothers. Subsequently, Wang Deren tried to attack Xingyang, but seeing that the soldiers and horses of Xingyang County were well prepared, they were ready to take precautions, and the strong attack was bound to suffer heavy losses...... In addition, there was news from Ji County that because Yu Wenhua and the remnants of the army went out of Sikou Pass (now northeast of Dong'a, Shandong), they crossed the river to capture Qinghe County while the river had not yet thawed, and directly threatened Pingyuan County. Dou Jiande didn't dare to try to seize Ji County again, so he hurriedly sent people to Ji County to sue for peace.

At this time, Ji County was also unable to attack, so after it was decided that the two towns of Fanshui and Yaocheng were under the rule of Ji County, they ceased to fight.

Dou Jiande launched a crazy attack on Yu Wenhua......

However, in this way, Xu Shiji's eldest grandson Wuji also got a chance to breathe. Xu Shiji immediately sent 6,000 more elite soldiers to Liyangcang, joined forces with Su Dingfang, and made a feint attack on Dongjun. Wang Deren was worried about the enemy on his back, so he had to withdraw his troops from Suozao and guard the front line of Yanjin Baima. At the same time, in order to prevent Li Yanqing from being unfavorable to him, Wang Deren sent an envoy to the Eastern Capital secretly to ask Wang Shichong for surrender.

The situation in Shandong suddenly became extremely complicated, especially in the area occupied by Li Mi at the beginning, showing a staggered division of forces.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with Yanqing.

After ending the war with Li Mi, Li Yanqing returned to Guancheng the next day.

He stayed in Guancheng for three days and met with the local gentry. Later, Li Yanqing began to appoint officials and divided Xingyang County into two states. With the city as the governing place, Zhengzhou was established, and the four counties of Kaifeng and Xinzheng were under the jurisdiction of Zheng Weishan, and Zheng Weishan was appointed as the Taishou of Zhengzhou; Xingyang County, Tiger Prison Pass and other counties, including Xingze and Putian, are Xingzhou, with Tiger Prison Pass as the governing place, and Xin Wenli was ordered to serve as the Taishou of Xingzhou.

In this regard, Xingyang Shixuan does not have many opinions......

Li Yanqing divided Gongzhou and Yangzhou again, and Wang Fubao served as the Taishou of Yangzhou, with Jishan as the governing place, and Gongwei Xingyang to the south; With Xue Shui as the Taishou of Gongzhou, sitting in Gongxian County, Luoyang in the east, eyeing the tiger. So far, Li Yanqing has three counties under his jurisdiction, a total of seven states and 41 counties, and has led the Daxingtai of Henan Province since then, and has its own system. However, on the surface, Yan Qing still said that he would not obey Wang Shichong.

On November 20, Li Yanqing led his troops and returned to Gong County.

――――――――

Wang Shichong would never have imagined that his henchmen would be in such a big trouble that he would lose one all of a sudden.

Li Mi's death suddenly reduced the pressure on his body a lot, and the only regret is that Li Yanqing and Li Mi were in flames, and there was not much loss? This made Wang Shichong very unbalanced, in his opinion, Li Mi died, and Li Yanqing also suffered heavy losses, which was the most perfect ending.

But there are not so many ifs in this world!

Li Yanqing is not without losses, but in comparison, his losses are completely negligible.

The most terrifying thing is that this kid recovered the five county towns of Kaifeng, Weishi, Xinzheng, Yangcheng, and Jishan at once, and completely controlled the entire Xingyang. If you count the two county towns obtained by Ji County, although the strength in Li Yanqing's hands may not be comparable with Wang Shichong, it is also faintly comparable. This guy has gone from a small eagle general to now holding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, calling himself Henan Daxingtai, and his strength has undergone a fundamental change...... Yes, Li Mi is dead! But this Li Yanqing seems to be even more terrifying.

Fortunately, Shan Xiongxin defected to Wang Shichong, which made Wang Shichong bloodless, recovered Yanshi, and closed the gate of the Eastern Capital again.

Subsequently, in the past, it was said that Shan Xiongxin's general Niu Jinda, led more than 1,000 remnants of the army to defeat, and also defected to Luoyang, which made Wang Shichong more or less have a little bottom in his heart. Wang Deren's invitation to surrender made Wang Shichong extremely happy. He immediately named Wang Deren as the Taishou of Dongjun and the Duke of Baima County, and appointed Wang Deren as the Daxingtai of Henan Province to counter Li Yanqing's so-called Daxingtai of Henan Dao.

From a geographical point of view, Wang Deren's Henan Road Daxingtai seems to be more appropriate.

He was stationed in Dongjun and had a bird's-eye view of the counties south of the Yellow River; And Li Yanqing's Henan Road Daxingtai ...... Perhaps, Hebei Province is more suitable.

In short, although Wang Shichong has a lot of jealousy of Li Yanqing from the bottom of his heart, he will not bow his head.

Aren't you Li Yanqing going to work against me?

That's good, you can let Wang Deren suffer from the enemy on the belly and back, and I can also let you suffer the enemy on the belly and back.

At the same time, Wang Shichong ordered someone to go to Chang'an and contact Li Yuan. He told Li Yuan that Li Tang is a brother and Wang Zheng is a brother, and they will be friendly from generation to generation. He also dedicated his love queen Meifeng to Li Yuan, and said in a very low-key manner that he was willing to sit in Shandong for Li Tang.

Li Yuan, noncommittal.

It's not that Li Yuan doesn't want to express his position, but he also has a headache now.

At the end of October, Li Shimin defeated Xue Rengao at Zheshu City, and captured Jincheng County in early November. Xue Rengao was almost wiped out, with dozens of people, fleeing in embarrassment, and disappeared. It's just that although Lanzhou (i.e., Jincheng County) was occupied, Li Liang of Houliang made a fuss again, and united with the Turks, saying that he was not subject to Li Tang's official position. In the letter, he called himself 'Emperor Cong's younger brother Daliang Emperor Rail', and also expressed his attitude.

Li Yuan was furious, and after detaining Li Rail's envoy, he prepared to attack Li Rail.

However, at this time, a shocking news suddenly came from Shaanzhou......

Liu Wuzhou intended to capture Taiyuan, and ordered his generals to lead the troops to attack. This King of Song is the king's name, this person's surname is Song, his name is King Kong, he is a native of Yi County, Hebei, and was originally made with Wei [***]. After Wei Liu was annexed by Dou Jiande, Song Jingang defected to Liu Wuzhou. This person knows the art of war, has a strategy, and is highly valued by Liu Wuzhou, and even married his sister to Song Jingang.

Li Yuanguan was founded in Guanzhong, and not everyone will agree.

This Liu Wuzhou is one of them, and he has always intended to seize Taiyuan and capture the state.

After Song Jingang received the order, he immediately sent troops to Jiezhou (Jiexiu County, Shanxi). He colluded with the monks of Jiezhou and Cheng, and the inside and outside should join forces to seize Jiezhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jinyang. Li Xiaoji, who had just become the governor of Shaanzhou, learned that Jiezhou had been lost, and immediately led his troops to recapture Jiezhou.

Who knows that under the command of Song Jingang, there is a general, whose surname is Wei Chi, and his single name is a Gong character.

On the way to Jiezhou, Li Xiaoji was ambushed by Wei Chigong's troops. The two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, and just when Li Xiaoji was about to withdraw his troops, he was forced into the army by Wei Chigong alone, captured thirteen guns in a row, and beheaded Li Xiaoji...... The Tang army was defeated and retreated to Jinyang.

Sima Tangjian of Shaanzhou sent someone to ask for reinforcements.

When Li Yuan learned that Li Xiaoji had been killed, he was immediately stunned!

"Xiaoji died in battle, how can I explain to Yuwa?"

Li Yuan pulled Pei Lian, dazed and at a loss.

Pei Lin said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to think about how to explain to Li Langjun. It is imperative that the siege of Shaanzhou be completed as soon as possible, otherwise Jinyang will be in danger and the state will be in danger. ”

"That's right, that's right!"

Li Yuan lingered for a long time, and finally stabilized the anxiety in his heart.

"Then, according to Xuan Zhen, in your opinion, who should be the main commander to relieve the siege of Shaanzhou?"

Pei Lin thought for a while, "Shaanzhou is the land of Your Majesty's Longxing, and it is necessary to send a proper candidate to fight." The crown prince is the most suitable candidate......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan waved his hand again and again.

"The war in Hedong has not been settled, and Yao Junsu is still trapped and fighting.

Now that the prince is pacified in Hedong, he can't leave easily...... For another person, is there no suitable candidate for me in Guanzhong except for the prince? ”

Pei Lin said: "Yes, yes, but it's just ......"

"Who is it?"

Pei Lin hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "If the crown prince can't lead the troops, only King Qin is the most suitable." ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Send Jiro on the expedition?
