Tian Lingzi received Chen Jingxuan's letter and almost fainted, he has been working hard to manage and rely on the last two places in Dongchuan and Xichuan, and something big happened.

In fact, there may be problems in Dongchuan and Xichuan, this clue has existed for a long time, and the reason is because of Tian Lingzi himself, since the rise of the iron-blooded army in the south, Tian Lingzi began to be uneasy, trying every means to support Xichuan, so that Chen Jingxuan can manage Xichuan well, especially in army construction, and cannot be stingy in the slightest.

Chen Jingxuan also knew that the situation was tense, and he still worked very hard in army building, because with Tian Lingzi's support, there was not much problem in terms of money and food, so in just a few years, Xichuan's army was expanded to about 50,000 people, and its strength far exceeded that of Dongchuan.

At the beginning of his tenure, Yang Shili was grateful to Tian Lingzi, and he also obeyed Tian Lingzi's orders, but as time went by, seeing the great changes that had taken place in Xichuan, Yang Shili was a little unbalanced in his heart, why Xichuan could get so much money and food, but Dongchuan needed to pay so many taxes to the imperial court, coupled with the rise of the Southern Iron Army, Yang Shili began to think about what choice he needed to make.

Yang Shili was still a little cautious, he originally wrote a letter to Tian Lingzi, which was nothing more than the meaning of crying poor, but in fact, the real meaning he wanted to express was also very clear, that is, the court was too good to Xichuan and ignored Dongchuan.

After Tian Lingzi received the letter, he verbally stabilized Yang Shili, but in fact there was no action.

After Li Rupei was enshrined as King Fu and the Southern Dao Daxingtai, Tian Lingzi accelerated the pace of support for Xichuan.

In fact, Tian Lingzi also wanted to be able to support Dongchuan, but the actual situation was not allowed, the imperial court could not come up with so much money and grain, if they all supported Xichuan and Dongchuan, I am afraid that the Chinese military minister of the DPRK will release it. And the Shence army in the capital is also difficult to maintain, in this case, Tian Lingzi can only choose to support Xichuan, anyway, Xichuan Jiedu envoy Chen Jingxuan is also his brother.

This caused Yang Shili to be even more dissatisfied in his heart.

Obviously, Xichuan's conditions are far stronger than Dongchuan's, but Dongchuan still has to pay taxes truthfully, doesn't this make Dongchuan directly support Xichuan, if this continues, Yang Shili, the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, will sooner or later surrender to Chen Jingxuan, the Xichuan Jiedu envoy.

After thinking about the possible dangers and problems. Yang Shili stopped doing it, he began to try his best to plunder the money and grain that belonged to Xichuan, and if it didn't work, it would come to the dark, anyway, as long as he grabbed the money and grain, he would never retreat.

What's more critical is that Yang Shili is ready to contact Fuwang Li Rupei, hoping to get the support of His Royal Highness Fuwang, so as to pedal two boats and obtain the greatest benefits for himself.

Yang Shili's initiative. was known by Chen Jingxuan.

That's because the envoy sent by Yang Shili to Liangzhou to contact Liu Yunzhang was caught by Chen Jingxuan, and under severe torture, the envoy confessed. And took out the letter written by Yang Shili to Liu Yunzhang, although it was just an ordinary greeting letter, Chen Jingxuan saw the problem from it.

Chen Jingxuan quickly reported this information to Tian Lingzi, and at the same time relied on Xichuan's powerful army. began to send troops to attack Dongchuan directly, and the army went smoothly all the way, occupying many prefectures and counties to which Dongchuan belonged. Seeing that it is about to hit Zizhou, the seat of the Dongchuan Jiedu Envoy Yamen.

It was at this time that Tian Lingzi received the letter and figured out everything.

Yang Shili was ready to step on two boats, which Tian Lingzi could not tolerate, but to deal with such things, Tian Lingzi could think of other ways, first of all, there was no need to attack, if Yang Shili did not obey the dispatch, then he could send troops to exterminate him, who knew that Chen Jingxuan was too anxious, for fear that something would happen, and suddenly he would send troops.

The reason for Tian Lingzi's convulsions was because Xichuan was close to Shannan West Road, if Li Rupei knew about this matter, how could he stand by and find a reason to enter Xichuan, Chen Jingxuan would face the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on his back.

The imperial court wants to suppress Li Rupei, it is impossible, people can do whatever they want in the south, the imperial court cannot control it at all, Li Rupei, who has been quiet for nearly a year, is afraid that he has already gathered strength and thinks of making a big move.

Chen Jingxuan and Yang Shili have already started a war, if there is no external intervention, Chen Jingxuan wants to win is a sure thing, it is just a matter of time, there is no way to compare Dongchuan and Xichuan in terms of strength.

Since the war started, it is not valid to want Chen Jingxuan to withdraw, Yang Shili and Chen Jingxuan turned their faces, which means that they turned their faces with him Tian Lingzi, and Chen Jingxuan attacked Yang Shili, and the reason he held was that Yang Shili rebelled.

Tian Lingzi forced himself to calm down, things can only come step by step, the first thing to do at present is to talk about Yang Shili's rebellion in front of the emperor, to make the emperor believe in this matter, and at the same time issue a holy decree to remove Yang Shili from the position of Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, at that time, Chen Jingxuan's crusade is logical.

Just do it, Tian Lingzi did not have the slightest delay, and immediately asked to see the emperor.

This time Tian Lingzi was also out of the way, he made clear the importance of Xichuan, and pointed out undilutedly, if someone wants to rebel and attack the capital Chang'an, then the best place for Xichuan soldiers to take refuge, at the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong also took refuge in Xichuan, and later the imperial court quelled the rebellion of An Lushan, and the world of the Tang Dynasty was able to continue to be maintained.

After all, Tian Lingzi understands the emperor, and he also knows what the emperor is most worried about, it should be said that the emperor who grew up in the deep palace has no ability to bear it, and he knows how to avoid problems when he encounters them, and the method he takes is to continue to indulge in playfulness.

Tian Lingzi's words touched the emperor's mind.

Although the emperor knew that Yang Shili would not rebel, after learning that Yang Shili was actually preparing to take refuge in the blessed king Li Rupei, he also showed a rare anger, and immediately issued an order to revoke Yang Shili from the position of the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, so that Chen Jingxuan concurrently served as the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, and at the same time canonized Chen Jingxuan as a servant and a peacemaker.

In this way, Chen Jingxuan's identity has changed, and he has become one of the prime ministers of the court.

The decree was issued quickly, causing a great shock.

Chen Jingxuan's attack on Yang Shili was suppressed by Tian Lingzi, and the capital didn't know about it at all, in this case, the emperor suddenly issued an order to remove Yang Shili from the post of Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, and Xichuan Jiedu made Chen Jingxuan concurrently serve as the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, and at the same time served as Shizhong and Pingzhangshi, and became one of the prime ministers of the court, which made the civil and military ministers of the court see it again, and the emperor still trusts Tian Lingzi very much.

The Divine Decree soon reached the East and West Rivers.

Chen Jingxuan, who had won victories one after another, immediately showed it to the generals under his command after receiving the holy decree, which greatly encouraged the morale of the soldiers and made the expedition more smooth.

Yang Shili of Zizhou also received the holy decree.

The moment he received the holy decree, Yang Shili knew that he had no hope, he had already sent a large number of envoys to Shannan West Road, hoping to find Liu Yunzhang and report the situation of His Royal Highness King Fu Dongchuan, but these messengers sent out have not heard from him so far, and I don't know if the news has been spread.

Chen Jingxuan's siege around Zizhou was very strict, and the purpose was to prevent the news from leaking out.

The terrain of Xichuan and Dongchuan is very special, the mountains are high and dense, easy to defend and difficult to attack, many places are high mountains and rivers, Yang Shili and Chen Jingxuan know the surrounding terrain very well, so when the two sides fight, they rely on their strength, and there is no place that can be opportunistic.

Yang Shili is most worried about this aspect, the many envoys he sent out, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape Chen Jingxuan's encirclement and suppression, and it will be difficult to send the news to Shannan West Road.

The issuance of the holy decree became the last straw that crushed Yang Shili.

Yang Shili went out, he was ready to claim the throne in Xichuan, which was equivalent to rebellion.

On the one hand, he ordered the generals under his command to step up the attack on Zizhou and other places, and on the other hand, he ordered the direction of Chengdu to strengthen vigilance, completely block the connection with Shannan West Road, and even the exchanges between ordinary farmers, to strictly control, as for the exchanges between merchants and merchants, it is a complete ban.

Chen Jingxuan also has something to worry about, there are only 10,000 troops stationed in Chengdu, and the rest of the 40,000 troops all follow him out to encircle and suppress Yang Shili, so in this case, Chengdu seems to have insufficient defensive strength, so Chen Jingxuan must end the battle in the shortest possible time, and then leave a part of the sergeants stationed in Zizhou, and the rest of the sergeants quickly return to Chengdu.

Chen Jingxuan's approach is very wise, this is also the way Tian Lingzi suggested, that is, encirclement and recruitment at the same time, after entering Dongchuan, Chen Jingxuan trumpeted Yang Shili's rebellion, after the emperor's holy decree arrived, this kind of propaganda reached its peak, Chen Jingxuan proposed at the same time, all officers and sergeants who can lay down their arms and surrender, the court will not pursue them, and they can retain their original official titles, and the local government will treat them the same.

This kind of propaganda is very powerful, the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan have surrendered, expressing their allegiance to the imperial court, and allegiance to Chen Jingxuan, in a short period of time, Yang Shili has become a lonely man and can only be stationed in Zizhou.

Chen Jingxuan, who was like a bamboo, quickly surrounded Zizhou, and at the same time increased the intensity of publicity.

Chen Jingxuan did not rush to attack, he believed that the city of Zizhou had become a pot of porridge, Yang Shili had lost support, and sooner or later he would be killed by his subordinates, so that he would be able to take Zizhou and the entire Dongchuan without blood.

If this step is achieved, he Chen Jingxuan will be able to control a lot more places, so that he can also get more support from Tian Lingzi, maybe it won't be long before Xichuan and Dongchuan merge, and he Chen Jingxuan will also be able to become a veritable feudal town. (To be continued......)
