Fengxiang Prefecture Zhiyong County.

Fengxiang Festival Degree Envoy, Qi Wangfu.

Li Maozhen's right eyelid has been jumping vigorously in the past few days, and he has been insomnia for several nights.

Since he became the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, he has been an absolute force in the pass.

At the beginning, he teamed up with Han Jian to blackmail the emperor and got a lot of benefits.

It wasn't until Zhu Wen came from the Central Plains to the Guannai to stir up, and he suffered a lot of wretchedness.

first occupied a lot of his own territory, and forced the false son Li Jihui to surrender, Fengxiang was besieged, so that his strength was greatly reduced, and he had to make peace with Zhu Wen.

Who knows that God will not die of hunger!

Zhu Wen was nervous, and actually slept with Li Jihui's wife, so that the fake son Li Jihui rebelled against Zhu Wen and threw himself back into his arms.

This year, he supported Li Jihui to gather troops and prepare for a big battle with Zhu Youyu's Zhenguo Army and Shi Shucong's Bao Da Army.

Neither side gave in.

After a stalemate for more than half a month, Li Jihui lost in Liyuan Village and surrendered to Xinping City.

At this moment, Li Maozhen had to think about whether to sue for peace again or continue to resist.

Who knew that the situation took a turn for the worse.

King De entered Beijing to escort the tribute, which made the entire situation in the Guannai change dramatically, which made many people stupid.

You must know that Zhu Wen has been crisscrossing the Central Plains for more than ten years and has not encountered an opponent. Even his sworn enemy Li Keyong only barely had a relationship with him for more than ten years, and several fiascos made Li Keyong almost unable to turn over.

Such a hero, with a strong feudal clan with 60,000 soldiers in the pass, why is he so unresistant?

Isn't it too vegetable?

Or is King De really a martial artist?

A few days ago, the exact news suddenly came from Jingshi, Zhu Youliang of Chang'an, and Zhu Youyu of Zhenguo Army were beheaded one after another, and Uncle Cong, who was still grinning at himself just now, was also captured, which made Li Maozhen dare not believe that this was true for a while.

King Li Yu?

The eldest son of the emperor who only walked out of his Fengxiang City two years ago?

Can he annihilate Zhu Wen's army of 60,000?

And capture the coaches one by one?

He couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until the fake son Li Jihui betrayed himself again and took Suining and other states to submit to Li Yu, that he woke up like a dream.

At this time, he had to face the reality that he was the only one in the entire Guannai and the feudal town that was fighting against the imperial court.

What to do?

Thinking about the things she has done over the years, Li Maozhen broke out in a cold sweat.

I remember that he once wrote a letter to the emperor to mock and abuse, saying that Li Ye was incompetent.

I remember that he once forced the emperor to crown himself king.

remembered that he had taken the emperor's family hostage and gave him a lot of faces.

He remembered that he had coerced the emperor to marry the princess of the plains to his son.

Remember......

When Li Maozhen thought about these things, it was strange that he could sleep.

He knew that Li Ye must not let himself go easily, and now there is no hope for resisting, even the three generals under Zhu Wen have been destroyed, can the three melons and two dates under his command be opponents?

On the table, there is a document just sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress Zhu Wen's rebellion.

In the festival hall, all the civil and military people had sad faces.

It's been almost a month since Zhu Youliang was killed, and they have only now gotten the news, which shows that Jingshi's blockade of news is extremely strict.

If it had been left in the past, this would have been absolutely impossible, the Jingshi had already been corroded by the various feudal towns, and they would know what kind of gossip there was. It seems that this day is really going to change.

"Report, Your Highness, there is an urgent report of the military situation."

This voice woke Li Maozhen up.

"Bring it in."

opened the emergency report, and it turned out to be a letter asking for help from the Wugong County garrison.

On December 30 of the fourth year of Tianfu, 20,000 imperial army soldiers surrounded Wugong County, frightening the Fengxiang soldiers who were guarding here.

"Your Highness, this is a shock, I'm afraid I hope Your Highness will make a statement."

His advisors offered their opinions.

"Otherwise, we will join forces with King Liang and ...... one inside and one outside"

"Cut ......"

Zhong Wenwu scoffed at this proposal, if this was known by the imperial court, it was difficult to say whether Zhu Wen could enter the pass, it was true that he was destroyed first!

Li Maozhen also knew that if she didn't express her position, she might really be doomed.

"Let's all talk about it, what are we going to do about it?"

The Fengxiang Festival Hall was brightly lit all night.

Two days later, another urgent report came.

An army of 20,000 troops from Pizhou has entered the territory of Linyou County, and Chen soldiers are under the city.

Hiss~

At this time, the whole festival made the crows silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Such an obvious situation, as long as you are not blind, you know that the imperial court is going to destroy Li Maozhen.

"Transferring Qin Long and Jingyuan soldiers to Yongxian, I want to see what the imperial court wants?"

Li Maozhen blushed and panted.

"Your Highness, the lower officials think that they should immediately go to the court and show their hearts to show their submission."

"This ......"

Li Maozhen had been waiting for the people below to give him the steps, but now that he has it, he immediately took advantage of the situation.

"Well, I am a loyal minister, and I have no second thoughts about the court.

"Yes."

So a letter of flowers was written on the table and immediately sent to Jingshi, and it was troublesome if it was late.

Li Yu subdued Yang Chongben and asked him to take his family to Jingshi, escorted by Li Yu's guards.

The 30,000 troops of the Jingnan Army under the command of the Suining Jiedu Envoy Division were taken over by Li Yu.

plus the 20,000 Jingxiang troops who came from the battle in Dunfang.

In Pizhou, there were 50,000 troops eyeing Qizhou.

Li Huaixian's army of 20,000 was also ordered to move to Wugong County.

Fengxiang Mansion faced the siege of two armies, and for a while, the wind was loud.

The third day of the first month of the fifth year.

Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

Cui Yin presented the recital in his hand to Li Ye.

Originally, all the yamen of the imperial court in the first month of the Great New Year were on holiday for the New Year, but today Cui Yin had to meet him with a dead face.

Li Ye looked at it, smiled slightly, and asked, "Cui Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Uh, sage, Li Maozhen is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty after all, although there are mistakes first, but knowing mistakes can improve the greatness, and the court should give him a chance to correct it......"

"Hmmm......"

"The capital crime can be avoided, but he disobeyed the holy king, violated the holy precepts, and moved the town to Jingyuan, for the border of the country, and then moved the town as appropriate to see his performance."

It means that Fengxiang Jie Du told you not to do it, give up this position and territory, go to the border to guard, and then go to other places after behaving well.

The corners of Cui Yin's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say a few more good words, but when he saw that Li Ye no longer looked at him, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Xiangfu West Flower Hall.

"Cui Xiang, what is the matter of my Royal Highness's request......"

"Mr. Wang, Cui did his best. The sage meant to let King Qi go to Jingyuan, this Fengxiang, he still had to let it out. ”

"This ......"

Mr. Wang's face was painful, but he was helpless.

Li Maozhen knew that she was guilty of a lot of sin, and she was afraid that she would not be sure of her intentions just by showing her intentions, so she asked people to bring a few cars of gold, silver and jewelry to Cui Yin.

Cui Yin is greedy for money and lustful, of course, he does not refuse.

Back then, he and Zhu Wen were inside and outside, singing and harmonizing, and controlled the government for many years, but now that King De has returned, Zhu Wen's army in the pass has been swept away, and his backers have also fallen.

Just when he was full of worries, Li Maozhen came to the door again.

He felt that as long as he could help Li Maozhen, he could still join forces with him, and he could still call for wind and rain in the imperial court for a few years.

With this in mind, he accepted the gift and said a few cheap words in front of Li Ye.

But where did he think about it, Li Ye's heart is now high.

Since Li Ye ascended the throne, only the first few years have the momentum of the emperor, and the next year is not as good as the year.

He was driven out of Beijing by the strong clan several times, hid in Tibet, and was under house arrest by Han Jian in Huazhou for two years, which is really a wretch.

Today's situation is very different.

King Li Yu led a large army into the customs and swept away Zhu Wen's army of 60,000 in one fell swoop, and even Yang Chongben gave up his post as a festival envoy and was willing to enter Beijing to serve, which was a great thing.

As soon as the accounts are settled, Li Yu has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and it is not difficult to conquer Li Maozhen.

Mr. Wang returned to Fengxiang with the latest news.

said Li Maozhen.

I've been waiting for a few days.

Li Huaixian took Wugong County in one fell swoop a few days ago.

Half of the 5,000 Fengxiang troops stationed in Wugong were annihilated, more than 1,000 surrendered, and hundreds ran.

When Li Maozhen got the news that Wugong County was broken, he waited for the news of Jingshi while preparing for the war.

Although he had sent 10,000 troops to Yixian, the morale of the imperial court was now high, his army was demoralized, and no one wanted to fight.

Li Maozhen's army now has about 50,000 troops, but most of them are scattered in various states, and the morale of the army is insufficient.

The Jingyuan army can fight, they are the border army, and they have always been the backbone of the defense against the invasion of Tibet.

Now he gritted his teeth and mobilized five thousand to come, no matter how much he didn't dare, in case those were killed, he would be the unlucky one.

"Mr. Wang, that's what Cui Yin said?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Of course, he was not satisfied with the arrangement of the imperial court, and walked around the festival hall several times, weighing the pros and cons.

If you fight now, you may be defeated and die, and if you don't fight, you will go to Jingyuan to defend the border.

"What do you think?"

"Your Highness, going to Jingyuan for the time being is also a slow move, and when the time is ripe, you can enter the customs again."

"Yes, Your Highness, instead of losing all our capital now, it is better to retain our strength and wait for the opportunity."

"Hmmm......"

Li Maozhen was really scared.

He is not only afraid of the German king Li Yu, but also the emperor Li Ye.

Don't look at Li Ye smiling like a good man one day, no one can be offended, but he is ruthless, and even kills his own people.

Li Ye once killed the minister in order to protect himself. And in order to protect himself, he killed the prince. Fortunately, Li Ye didn't kill his son for self-preservation, otherwise he wouldn't have anything to do now, he died in August.
