In September of the second year of Wude, a major event happened in Xingyang!

Since leading the Daxingtai of Henan Road, the famous Li Yanqing announced the change of banner in Gong County and attached to Li Tang in Guanzhong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info For a while, the world was in an uproar, and countless eyes were condensed in the Heluo area almost at the same time. Li Yanqing's return to Guanzhong will affect the overall situation of the world.

Prior to this, Li Yanqing sat in Xingyang, although he seemed to have become a prince, but he was still welcoming the Sui room after all.

In addition, he only has three counties in his hands, although he has a large population and abundant money and food, but after all, he is in the land of four wars, so it is difficult to last.

Therefore, although everyone paid attention to Li Yanqing, they did not take him to heart.

Unless, Li Yanqing can fight his way out of the encirclement from these four battles. But if you want to fight your way out of the encirclement, how easy is it? There is Li Tang in the east, Wang Shichong in the west, Dou Jiande in the north, and Jingxiang Xiao Milling in the south. Even if Li Yanqing can really fight his way out, his strength will inevitably be greatly damaged. Starting from scratch? If it was a few years earlier, Li Yanqing would have had a chance, but now, he no longer has that time.

But now, when Li Yanqing announced that he would join Li Tang, people unexpectedly found that Li Tang's territory had expanded several times at once. And the original scattered and disconnected spheres of influence are closely linked together.

Li Tang originally sat in Guanzhong, got a secluded and bitter cold land, and occupied the east of the river.

Although Li Shentong gained a firm foothold in Qilu, he could not form an effective echo with Li Tang. After all, between Qilu and Li Tang, these four major forces are separated. Needless to say, Li Yanqing said that Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and Yu Wenhua suppressed Li Tang's forces to the death.

But now, due to Li Yanqing's attachment, Guanzhong and Qilu are suddenly connected.

Through the three counties of Hedong and Xingyang, a very strange bond has been formed. The territory that Li Yanqing originally occupied was like a sharp sword, cutting off the connection between the three families of Dou, Wang, and Poyetou. In this way, Li Tang's soldiers and horses could pass through the transit station of Xingyang in Hanoi, enter Dou Jiande in the east, and attack Wang Shichong in the west. The department of Li Shentong is on the south bank of the Yellow River, which effectively controls the Yu culture and forms.

Originally, it was Dou and Wang who blocked Guanzhong, and now Guanzhong surrounds Dou and Wang......

Was it intentional, or was it accidental?

No one can tell!

In short, after Li Yanqing announced the change of banner, Luoyang suddenly fell into chaos.

Wang Shichong still couldn't understand why Li Yanqing suddenly surrendered to Li Yuan, who was so decent? After all, before this, Li Yanqing did not show any signs of returning to Guanzhong. Not only did he send troops to Hanoi, which greatly encouraged Yao Junsu in Hedong. The battle, which was supposed to end last year, dragged on for half a year.

In the Hanjia Palace, Wang Shichong was incoherent and chattering.

Zhang Zhenzhou's face was pale, and he knelt under His Majesty Dan, not daring to say anything more.

"I have said a long time ago that Li Yanqing is scheming. But you had to form an alliance with him, and almost sent half of the country's eunuch to that guy for no reason.

Now it's a good thing, the bird got the benefit, and immediately turned his face and denied it.

He was also ready to mediate between him and Wang Deren...... Mediate a fart! In my opinion, this was deliberately done by Li Yanqing to curry favor with Guanzhong. ”

Speaking of which, Wang Shichong is also a child of the Shi family, and he was once taught by Xu Wenyuan, and he can be regarded as a famous teacher.

But in this court, the indecent words spoken inevitably made many people look unhappy. But Wang Shichong didn't realize it, and he still chattered and talked endlessly. Speaking of which, it has never been explained how he plans to solve the current embarrassing situation.

Yang Gongqing couldn't help it, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is not to investigate the fault of Zhen Zhougong.

Zhen Zhougong was also thinking about His Majesty at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Guanzhong would take the lead. The matter has come to this point, and it is time to think about the corresponding strategy. Since Li Thief is attached to Guanzhong, Xingyang County under his rule has become a problem for His Majesty's henchmen. Therefore, the top priority is to take Xingyang quickly. ”

"Oh?"

"Only by capturing Xingyang, Your Majesty can use the river as a moat and stick to the tiger prison.

As long as the tiger is firmly in the hands of His Majesty, and Li Shentong is in the east, it will be difficult to achieve great things; At the same time, it stabilizes the first line of Mianchi, Missing Gate Mountain, Xin'an and Cijian. The minister thought that Li Tang had been exhausted from the repeated battles this year. Therefore, it is impossible to send troops to Hanya again this year...... Although Li Thief has little wisdom, he is not a person who has achieved great things after all. If he could endure it for a while, he would not be able to do a better job. But now......

Thinking that Li Thief was eager to invite merit, he hurriedly changed his banner.

But in this way, it will also give His Majesty a chance. Your Majesty can pour the power of Heluo and capture Xingyang. At the same time, he contacted Yu Wenhua and sent troops from Wuyang County, and Dou Jiande sent troops from Wei County to attack Ji County in Hanoi. With three combined strikes, Li Thief will be difficult to support, and Xingyang will be able to get it when the time comes. ”

When Wang Shichong heard this, he immediately smiled.

He didn't bother to bother with Zhang Zhenzhou anymore, and praised Yang Gongqing again and again for his cleverness.

Zhang Zhenzhou glanced at Yang Gongqing with grateful eyes. It's just that he found that Yang Gongqing not only did not have any lightheartedness, but was even more severe.

After the court meeting, Zhang Zhenzhou ran two steps and caught up with Yang Gongqing, who had already gone out of the door.

"Yang Shuai, today, in the court, thank you for relieving the siege of Zhenzhou."

Yang Gongqing smiled, "This is nothing, besides, the alliance with Li Yanqing was everyone's idea at that time, not your fault."

Your Majesty blames you, and he is also in a hurry. Zhenzhou, you and I have been following Your Majesty for a long time, and now it is the autumn of critical survival, you and I must do our best to assist Your Majesty. Don't be resentful because Your Majesty blames you today. ”

The words sound like a plea, but they contain a threat.

Zhang Zhenzhou's face changed, "Yang Shuai, what are you talking about?" Although Zhang was later than Yang Shuai to assist His Majesty, this loyalty was not at all. ”

"That's good!"

"Yang Shuai, you seem to be a little nervous?"

Yang Gongqing smiled bitterly, "It's really a little nervous."

I just said that only to cheer up Your Majesty. But...... Zhenzhou, you must know that Li Yanqing dared to call Li invincible, and he sat in Xingyang for several years, and fought viciously. At the beginning, you and I, together with Li Mi, how many people tried to fight him, but they were unsuccessful, and they were always calculated by this person...... This Li thief can be called a last resort. But why did you expose such a big flaw this time? ”

"What do you mean......"

"I'm worried that Guanzhong will send troops."

Zhang Zhen grinned on Monday and said with a smile: "Didn't Yang Shuai just say that it is impossible for Guanzhong to send troops?" ”

"That's what I said, but I'm really not at ease in my heart.

However, Li Thief returned to Tang in order to become a confidant. Xingyang must not be taken, otherwise once Li Tang rests, then we will be even more dangerous.

Therefore, if Xingyang wants to fight, Guanzhong cannot be unguarded...... Zhenzhou, I want to ask you to go out of Zhenmichi to prevent Guanzhong from suddenly sending troops to sneak attack. If the pond cannot be defended, you will retreat to the Missing Gate Mountain, and if the Missing Gate Mountain cannot be defended, you will retreat to Xin'an. But you have to remember that Cijian is the last barrier in the west of Luoyang, the pond can be lost, the missing mountain can be lost, the new 'an can be lost, but Cijian must not be lost! ”

Zhang Zhenzhou also showed a dignified look.

"Yang Shuai just rest assured, Zhang is here, Cijian is here; If Cijian is not there, Zhang will die! ”

"In this way, I am relieved......"

Yang Gongqing's cold face showed a touch of warmth.

He patted Zhang Zhenzhou's shoulder hard, looked up at the sky, and said with emotion: "The key to the success or failure of Your Majesty's great cause is probably only tied to this winter!" ”

******

The winter of the second year of Wude was very cold!

After Li Yanqing announced the change of banner, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Yu Wenhua took action at the same time.

They had only one goal, that is, to capture Xingyang and cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Qilu. As for who owns Xingyang? No one is thinking about it now. After all, if Xingyang can't be captured, then what will greet them will be a catastrophe.

Previously, Wang, Dou, and Yuwen each had their own intentions.

However, now, Li Yanqing's Xingyang has threatened their survival, so they have to hug together.

However, on the surface, whether it is Li Yanqing or Wang Dou Alliance, they are all very calm. As for Guanzhong, there doesn't seem to be much action either. As if nothing had happened, everyone was silent. But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the big war. Whether it is Li Yanqing, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiandeyu, or culture, everyone has tensed their nerves and dispatched troops.

At the same time, the smoke in Jiangnan is blazing.

After Yao Junsu returned to the Sui Chamber, he was immediately entrusted with important tasks.

This person also started from recklessness, and when Yang Guang was the king of Jin, he followed the role. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he followed Qu Tutong as the general of Eagle Strike, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and the doctor of the scattered dynasty. The art of war is subordinate to Qu Tutong, but the surname is fierce, and he would rather bend than bend. I think that at the beginning, Qu Tutong encouraged his subordinates to fight to the death and be loyal when he was in Hedong. However, Qu Tutong surrendered, but Yao Junsu always stuck to Hedong and would rather die than surrender.

Qu Tutong once went to persuade him to surrender, and Yao Junsu burst into tears on the city, but he never refused to say a word to Qu Tutong.

After arriving in Wu County, Empress Xiao respected him even more. Although the official position is not as good as Fang Yanqian and Zhang Zhongjian, he worships as Shangzhuguo.

And Yao Junsu is indeed like a god with soldiers, breaking Wucheng in the rest of the month, seizing Wukang, and approaching Qiantang County.

Shen Faxing panicked and asked Xiao Mo for help, while sticking to Qiantang.

On the banks of the Yangtze River, in the womb.

Although Empress Xiao is over fifty years old, her charm still exists.

She held the letter in her hand, smiling bitterly.

In fact, when Li Qing rescued Yao Junsu, the mourning family had already noticed that his mind might have changed.

Rescuing Yao Junsu was just the last thing he did for his family and the first emperor. Over the years, he has adhered to Xingyang and fought against the ant thief rebels, which can be regarded as doing his duty...... The mourning family really can't blame him, they only hate the first emperor for being unblessed, and they can't use such a virtuous talent. ”

Emperor Yang Guo of Chengqi is already five years old!

It has been almost two years since he ascended the throne, but because he is young and doesn't understand anything, this government affairs are all decided by Empress Dowager Xiao.

He didn't understand what Empress Dowager Xiao meant, and he didn't know which 'Li Qing' in Empress Dowager Xiao's mouth was. I had to stare at my ignorant eyes, and looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao and everyone in the room suspiciously.

Fang Yanqian is seriously ill, so he will discuss matters in the future.

However, Fang Xuanling has now held up a piece of the sky and can be on his own.

"Queen Mother, Li Henan is attached to Guanzhong, I am afraid of this war in the Central Plains, and the victory and defeat have been divided.

The Queen Mother still needs to consider a way out as soon as possible, once the war in the Central Plains is over, the next target will definitely be Jiangnan. ”

Zhang Zhongjian said angrily: "Yanqing is unrighteous, how can he belong to Li Tang at this time? Fang Qiao, we should immediately send troops to attack Xingyang now. ”

"Zhang Fu shot, if Fang Qiao is unwilling to send troops, he really can't send troops."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Jiangnan is already sparsely populated, and although there are five counties under His Majesty's rule, in fact, except for Wu County and Danyang, people are not panicking. General Yao attacked Shen Faxing and had requisitioned most of his troops and horses. Now, even if the rest of the soldiers and horses are gathered, it will hardly have an impact on the battle situation in the Central Plains.

Moreover, from Jiangdu to Xingyang, it still needs to pass through the rule of Li Tang, and the distance is very far.

Even if we send troops, we are afraid that if we don't wait for the troops to reach Xingyang County, this war will already be over...... It's just a waste of money and labor. ”

Zhang Zhongjian's thick eyebrows frowned, and his beard trembled.

"You mean, Wang Shichong can't even survive this winter?"

"Based on my understanding of Li Yanqing, this person will move after the plan, and if he does not move, the movement will be amazing.

Since he dared to announce his attachment to Li Tang at this time, how could he not think it through? I'm afraid that he will count everyone in this attachment. Speaking of which, you and Yanqing are also old friends, and they have cooperated for so many years. You should be able to understand his methods. ”

Zhang Zhongjian cooperated with Li Yanqing at the beginning, and the business was all over the world.

Empress Xiao was also aware of this matter, so she opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Zhongjian.

Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help but smile bitterly and bowed his head slightly.

"Queen Mother, what Fang Qiao said is good. That guy has been a demon since he was a child, and since he is determined to belong to him, he must have already made a fortune. ”

Empress Xiao's bright eyes suddenly dimmed a lot.

Although I know that this is the result, there is always some hope in my heart.

Now, the anticipation is gone!

She said softly: "The affairs of the soldiers, the mourning family does not understand.

Whether to send troops or not, it is only in Zhang Qing and Fang Qing's decision. If it really doesn't work, you will bind the mourning family and Your Majesty, and also descend Li Yuan. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Xuanling and Zhang Zhongjian immediately knelt on the ground.

"Why did the Queen Mother say this? The ministers will die to protect the Queen Mother and Your Majesty's thoughtfulness. ”

Empress Xiao waved her hand, which meant to say: I'm tired, you guys go down.

She took the little emperor's hand and slowly turned into the back hall.

"Fang Qiao, what do you think we should do?"

After Zhang Zhongjian and Fang Xuanling came out, they asked in a low voice.

"What I mean, let Du Fuwei sit in Zhongli, stick to the front line of Huaishui, and ensure that Huainan is safe this winter.

At the same time, Yaozhuguo is requested to step up the offensive against Qiantang, preferably before the Chinese New Year...... As long as Shen Faxing can be killed, presumably Xiao Mo will also panic. Then we negotiated with Xiao Miao, following the example of the Sun and Liu alliance of the Three Kingdoms, and worked together to hold the river and the moat.

In this way, we still have at least the capital to fight a war. ”

"Join forces with the anti-thieves?"

Zhang Zhongjian was furious and said loudly: "If Xiao Mo is willing to submit, I can still agree." If I am united with him, I will not accept it. ”

"But ......"

"At this time, there is no need to say that this world is still the Great Sui River, and I will never agree to collude with the anti-thieves."

After Zhang Zhongjian finished speaking, he threw his sleeves angrily and left.

Fang Xuanling, but behind him, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In fact, Zhang Zhongjian also knows very well that the method that Fang Xuanling said may be the most appropriate idea now. It's just that he thinks that he supports orthodoxy, and it is really difficult to accept collusion with an anti-thief. Back home, Zhang Zhongjian drank a few glasses of stuffy wine and collapsed on the couch in a drowsy state.

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the house.

Zhang Zhongjian shuddered, turned over and sat up, and said in a deep voice: "What person? ”

"Third uncle, Lord Fang sent someone to pass the ceremony, saying that something big has happened, please go to the palace quickly to discuss."

Zhang Zhongjian hurriedly got up, opened the door and said, "What happened?" ”

"Just got the news, Li Yanqing ......"

"What's wrong with Li Yanqing?"

"Li Yanqing of Xingyang, sneak attack Yanshi seven days ago."

"Huh?"

"And ...... Li Yanqing transferred Du Ruhui and others from Hanoi to sit in Yanshi, and he personally led the Wansheng army under his command, and captured Yecheng three days ago! ”

Zhang Zhongjian was stunned for a moment......
