Dengzhou, Tangjun Henan Road Xingtai.

"King Hejian, this is the will of the Son of Heaven, please go back to Chang'an, and the people and horses of Henan Road Xingtai will be temporarily controlled by Li Jing, and Zhang Gongjin will assist you."

Chen Fu, the eunuch of the palace, handed over the holy decree to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong smiled, his face did not show the slightest frustration and said: "Rong Ma is outside, the old man has not returned to Chang'an for five years, this time I will return to Chang'an, and I will finally have the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven and reminisce about the past." ”

Li Xiaogong said this, but the generals below had different expressions.

Chen Fu hurriedly said: "The king of the county is the important minister of the country, this time when he returns to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven has important things to entrust, and now the situation in the Tang Dynasty has changed, where is there less important ministers like the king of the county to support." ”

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "I understand, please tell His Royal Highness the Prince, tomorrow I will put down my military affairs and return to Chang'an, you go to the post station to stay first, I still have military affairs to be delivered here." ”

Chen Fu heard that the other party did not refer to His Majesty, but talked about His Royal Highness the Prince, and said with an embarrassed smile on his face at the moment: "The prince is young, and it is indispensable for the prince to help the prince, then I will retire first." ”

So after re-saluting Li Xiaogong, he retreated.

After Chen Fu left, only a series of generals stood in the tent, such as Pang Yu, Wu Heimin, Zhang Zhenzhou, and Lu Zushang still had a look of disgruntleness on his face.

Li Xiaogong smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, the old man has been acting for half his life, and he has never done anything wrong, and everyone who looks at me says that I am a person who has lived a long life, and now I am returning to Chang'an, which is also to protect the wealth, why should you be worried." ”

General Zhang Zhenzhou said: "Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin's army is storming Henan, Son of Heaven." No, it's His Royal Highness King Qin. Changing generals at this time is not shaking the morale of the army. ”

Another general, Wu Heimin, also said: "Handsome." The things in the court, a certain rough person doesn't understand, but our army can't be without a marshal for a day, now Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin is aggressive, we are preparing to fight a good battle with the marshal, let Zhao people know the strength of our Tang army, what is going on now, how can we fight this battle. ”

After speaking, Wu Heimin sat down angrily.

Li Xiaogong's eyes swept over the generals and said, "You don't have to say it. This time, whether it is the prince or the meaning of the Son of Heaven, the old man doesn't care. Since it has been decided to return to Chang'an, the old man will not be a mother-in-law, as for how to fight against Zhao Jun below, I think the pharmacist and Hongshen are enough to bear it. ”

On the side, Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin heard Li Xiaogong mention them, and they all hugged their fists together and said: "Handsome!" ”

Li Xiaogong walked up to Li Jing. He said earnestly: "Pharmacist, your talent is far better than a certain ten times, and you have been judged as a general throughout the ages." You are no less than Sun Wu, after Jiang Shang, only ...... That's it, nothing. ”

Lee Hyo-kung was going to say that 'manpower is sometimes exhausted'. But he didn't say the last sentence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man is going to Chang'an. During this period, you will listen to Li Jing's orders. Inviolable, got it? Li Xiaogong said this, his eyes swept over the generals.

"No!"

The following generals agreed together.

At this time, Li Xiaogong untied his jade belt and handed it to Li Jing.

The belt is a kind of belt, which is a custom passed on by the Hu people to the Han people, and the belt is hung with seven items such as a counting bag, a knife, a stone, a contract, a needle, a flint bag, etc., commonly known as the seven things of the sword. The belt is something that many powerful military attaches like to admire, and military attachés above the third rank of the Tang Dynasty can hang this jade belt.

And Li Xiaogong handed over his belt to Li Jing, obviously saying in front of the generals that Li Jing would be the boss in the future, and he should not wait lightly. Although Li Jing is an unborn general, he is not qualified enough. Therefore, he wanted to lend his prestige to Li Jing and let him deter the generals. As for myself, I am afraid that there will be no day when he will return to military power in the future.

After Li Xiaogong, Hanoi's Li Shentong and Li Shenfu brothers were also transferred to Chang'an, and the position of general was replaced by Li Shimin's confidant Gao Zhisheng and Cheng Zhijie, who were responsible for Hanoi's defense.

And Li Chen, the governor of Jiangzhou, Xiangwu Wang, was also thrown into Chang'an, and the general Duan Zhixuan of Zuo Xiaowei served as the manager.

However, the transfer of military power was not all smooth sailing, and the ascension of the generals of Tiance Mansion made many remnants of Li Jiancheng who were originally loyal to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji deeply uneasy. Here, Li Shimin's overt and covert liquidation has also been non-stop. At the same time that Li Xiaogong returned to Chang'an, Li Tang's Henan battle situation suddenly collapsed.

Garrisoned in Runan County, Li Sixing, the former protector of the King of Qi, led the army to mutiny, and let the Zhao army enter Runan, Ruyang, Xiping and Runan important towns were lost one after another.

After Li Sixing, Li Zhi'an, the prince of the East Palace, gathered people to rise up, and Li Leliang, the head of the Li Tang Sect, led the army to rebel, although Li Jing extinguished the two rebellions, but the Zhao army commanded by Xu Shiji took advantage of the situation to enter, making Li Tang's situation in Henan passive, Li Jing took over Henan and occupied it for only ten days, and Henan was already in flames.

Huainan, the whole county of Runan has fallen!

Then the Tang army of Yingchuan County was defeated by Xu Shiji, and the 5,000 men and horses of the Tang army were annihilated!

Li Jing had to shrink his forces from the front line to protect the front line of Xiangcheng and Huai'an, so far Li Tang had lost half of Henan.

And a storm in Guanzhong is also brewing.

In a mansion in Chang'an, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe looked at Yiwen and said to himself with a smile: "I lost my way with the king, I asked where the king was, and I replied that you are the king!" Haha, it seems that destiny is mine! ”

After speaking, more than a dozen children on the side all got up and echoed: "Since the destiny of heaven is in the son, I am willing to serve the son as the master, and immediately start an incident!" ”

And this man is Li Yili, the son of Li Xiaochang, the king of Li Tang Yi'an. And the men around him are not ordinary figures, such as Liu Deyu once served as Li Jiancheng's mansion on the left internal rate, the eldest grandson Anye is the eldest grandson Wuji's half-brother, the current general of the prison gate, the commander of the army Yuan Hongshan, is the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba clan, the rest of the people in the house are not ordinary people, either the prince Qi Wang Yudang, or the outstanding figures among the children of Guan Long.

Li Yiyu said in his chest: "Li Shimin can borrow the help of the Nanya Forbidden Army, succeed in the military advice, and seize the position of the East Palace." Why can't we follow his example? ”

The eldest grandson An Ye said: "Yes, right now, the people of Li Shi have betrayed their relatives and left their families, and even the clan including the king of Yi'an is opposing him. Now that there is the mandate of heaven in Gongzi, there is no reason why we should not follow the times to overthrow Li Shimin and welcome the new Son of Heaven to the throne! ”

The eldest grandson Anye took the lead and said this, speaking of Li Shimin, he didn't have a good feeling, everyone knew that he and the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as Li Shimin's wife, the eldest grandson Wuji, had already fallen out.

"yes!"

"Exactly!"

Everyone said.

Clear-eyed people can see that this time the conspired rebellion seems to be Li Yili's decision to rebel because of his prophecy and the destiny of heaven. In fact, it was the prince of Chang'an, the remnants of the Qi Wang, and Li Shimin, who was dissatisfied with Li Shimin's poor treatment of the children of the clan, and reused the officials of Tiance Mansion to rebel.
