Taking over the Sixth Army of the Forbidden Army in the Beiyuan camp is far easier than imagined.

After getting the permission of Li Jingda, the king of Qi, and Li Hongji, the king of Yan, Li Yuan in the Beiyuan camp commander tent in the name of the sword of the Son of Heaven in the name of reward, summoned the commander of the six military camps to make the above generals into the account to receive the reward, and then with the assistance of the palace guards, all the generals were controlled without effort, and this matter was too easy, and it couldn't help but cause Li Yuan's speculation, maybe King Zheng didn't think about rebellion at all, otherwise why didn't he put 300,000 elites in vain?

However, there is still some "rat" among the generals of the six armies, of course, the definition of "rat" comes from Li Hongji, the king of Yan, Li Hongji decisively selected all the generals who had anything to do with the privy envoy Wei Cen and King Zheng's party, and it is natural that there is no need to say what will happen to them.

Li Yuan acquiesced to King Yan taking the opportunity to exclude the selfishness of dissidents, because the number of these generals who secretly fought with King Zheng and his party was not large, so the impact was not great, and in fact, most of the Jianghuai soldiers were still loyal to the emperor.

After successfully taking over the Sixth Army of the Forbidden Army, Li Yuan did not relax his mind, but paid close attention to the news in Jinling and Hezhou City. In Jinling City, Xu Xuan's fate Li Yuan has already foreseen that his downfall is inevitable, because he is the number one henchman of Li Congjia, King Zheng, and he can't get rid of this big black cauldron, not to mention that Sun Sheng is eyeing him again, this old guy is an unscrupulous person to achieve his goals, how can Xu Xuan escape?

Later, when he heard the news that Sun Sheng was secretly playing something about Xu Xuan's remarks in King Zheng's mansion, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. This method can be regarded as the worst of the three indiscriminate, seizing sensitive topics to slander and spread rumors, and King Zheng is afraid that he will not be able to wash it away even if he jumps into the Yellow River this time......

The situation outside Hezhou City also affected Li Yuan's heart, because he had gradually seen the clues, you must know that Jinling has now become a mess, and if the 100,000 Zhennan Army really intends to rebel, why don't they hurry up and capture Hezhou City and attack quickly?

And Li Zhenggu's guy is also stupid, they are all ready to rebel, and they are still so "salute first and then soldier", so bold to give such a blatant letter to the emperor, not to mention anything else, isn't this deliberately harming King Zheng and his party in the city?

In fact, Emperor Li Jing was already anxious at this time, but what he was anxious about was not the situation outside Hezhou City, because the 300,000 forbidden army had been successfully taken over in hand, and he had peace of mind.

Because things have developed too strangely, of course, it is not because Li Jing suddenly found out that the letter presented by Li Zhenggu was a forgery by others, but because Hezhou Assassin Shi Hu had just sent a fast horse to report that the 100,000 Zhennan troops stationed twenty miles south of the city did not move in the slightest, and not even a scout was sent.

If it really intends to rebel and intend to seize Hezhou City and march into Jinling, the Zhennan Army should always send a few horsemen, right? Why are 100,000 soldiers shivering in the wind and snow in the camp?

Although Li Jing felt that something was wrong in his heart, this time after all, it was his own will, and he had already determined that King Zheng and his party had rebelled against the Zhennan Army, and Sun Sheng and Han Xizai had launched a purge in the capital, and there was a lot of uproar, that Xu Xuan was tortured to the point that he was not human, and Li Congjia, the king of Zheng, also suddenly entered the palace and made a farce of suicide in front of the queen.

But Li Jing finally found a reason for his peace of mind, no matter what happened to this point, he couldn't slap himself in the face, why not take advantage of the situation to clean up the Zhennan Army, after all, Song Qiqiu's father and son have been his heart disease for fifteen years.

On January 25, Emperor Li Jing officially issued an order to go to the Beiyuan camp, appointing Li Yuan, the governor of Langzhou and the envoy of the Wuping Army, as the generalissimo of the counterinsurgency soldiers and horses, and Li Hongji, the king of Yan, as the deputy marshal, leading a total of 200,000 horses and horses of the Shenwu Army, the Xiongwu Army, the Longwei Army, and the Shenwei Army to Hezhou to crusade against the Zhennan Army that had committed rebellion.

At the same time, Liu Shaojian brought the emperor's secret decree before Li Yuan's expedition, telling Li Yuan that this battle did not have to be wiped out, after all, the 100,000 Zhennan army were all Jianghuai children, if Li Zhenggu and Song Majie could be captured, it would be a great success, once the victory would take advantage of the situation to go south to Hongzhou Mansion, and the Zhennan Zhenzhou County would be returned to the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, which was regarded as Li Jing's greeting to Li Yuan in advance.

Li Yuan saw through Li Jing's thoughts at a glance, and suddenly was speechless about His Majesty's actions, didn't he say that it was necessary to let the rebels all be wiped out? At this time, either Li Jing is really a benevolent monarch, or there is only one possibility, Li Jing has already seen the truth of this "rebellion", but he can only make mistakes for the sake of face, and try his best to maximize the benefits of this mistake.

Looking at the mighty 200,000 forbidden army in front of him, Li Yuan also felt a little regretful in his heart, because he remembered that he was far away in Chudi's Wuping army, if the Wuping army was ordered to participate in this counterinsurgency war, it would be extremely beneficial to himself, which meant that he could openly ask the imperial court for supplies, weapons, armor, war horses, and make a fortune from the war.

Maybe he can take the opportunity to ask for an increase in the number of troops again, in short, Li Yuan definitely wants to use this opportunity to salvage a fortune, but it's a pity that this time he led the forbidden army of the imperial court. But in the final analysis, if he really let Wu Pingjun go out to quell the rebellion, he was not very willing, after all, the territory he had laid this time would inevitably not belong to him, so Li Yuan would be relieved to think about it......

On January 27, Li Yuan and Li Hongji, the king of Yan, led 200,000 forbidden troops to formally swear to march, forming an extremely large team out of the Beiyuan camp and rushing straight to the southwest to Hezhou. The army arrived at Danyang Mountain in the early morning of the next day, and at the foot of the mountain stood Hezhou City, which took more than two years to build by the Liezu Dynasty.

The land south of the Yangtze River is full of plains, and there are few winding and undulating lofty mountains, but only this is not famous Danyang Mountain, the peaks are continuous, east and west, like a natural barrier blocking the north and south. The mountains here are also very characteristic, not high but dangerous, and continuous without end.

Danyang valley vertical and horizontal, the area is huge, the trees and shrubs are dense and impermeable, it looks crumbling under the cold wind howling in winter, it seems to be very easy to walk through, but once you enter it, you know that it is difficult to move an inch, and Hezhou City has become the only land artery that runs through the north-south traffic.

Since the third year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, Tang Liezu Li Yu has worked this natural line of defense, and Hezhou is the forefront of Jinling, the capital of the southern arch, and it is also the passage connecting the rear of Jiangxi.

At that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was established, the Central Plains Dynasty and Wu Yue Kingdom were eyeing each other, in order to not only quickly support the military supplies of the national capital Jinling, but also to have an unbreakable Xiongguan to resist the enemy in the south once Jinling was lost, in the past, it was the Song Qiqiu of the Weiguo Gong who proposed to build Hezhou City in the Danyang Pass, hoarding materials and horses, entering to support the national capital Jinling, and retreating to ensure that the southward pass was not lost, and played the role of connecting the upper and lower levels.

Of course, Liezu Li Yu agreed with this plan, the tranquility of the national capital has always been the emperor's most concern, not to mention that Song Qiqiu, the first adviser, patted his chest and promised that as long as the city of Hezhou is completed, Jinling will sit back and relax. Li Yu trusted Song Qiqiu very much at that time, so he approved the establishment of the city under his auspices.

The manpower and material resources spent on building a city can be imagined, which is an extremely large expense, but Li Yu responded to almost all of Song Qiqiu's requests, and a large amount of material resources were continuously transported to Danyang Pass to support the needs of building the city.

Of course, Song Qiqiu didn't dare to be sloppy, because this Hezhou city was not just a city for the safety of the national capital Jinling in Song Qiqiu's heart, and the careerist Song Qiqiu certainly built it for another purpose, but he didn't expect that after Li Jing ascended the throne, he didn't trust him as much as the former emperor Li Yu.

All in all, when the city of Hezhou was finally completed after two years, Song Qiqiu also made a windfall, two years of careful planning, he has asked the imperial court for a large number of horses, weapons, grain and grass materials, all stuffed into his own Zhennanjie Town hoarding, now Hongzhou Mansion is a national capital Jinling in addition to the country's largest grain and grass materials war horse hoarding warehouse, but also outside the scope of the imperial court......

At noon, the 200,000 forbidden troops finally arrived in the north of Hezhou City, and Li Yuan rode his horse to stand at the front of the team and led the army slowly towards the majestic Xiongcheng under the Danyang Pass.

Li Hongji, the king of Yan, immediately pointed to the tall Hezhou City in front of him, and proudly introduced: "Li Yuan, this is Hezhou City, the emperor's grandfather worked hard for two years to establish this city, and encountered hardships during this period, which are unimaginable to ordinary people.

After the establishment of this Xiongcheng, the national capital has been solid since then. It must be known that there are 10,000 soldiers hidden in Hezhou City, which is enough to defend against 100,000 enemies, and presumably the rebels also think of this section

, so they don't dare to attack rashly."

Are you too deep into the play? Of course, Li Yuan didn't say this in his heart, but just smiled and nodded in agreement: "Well, it is indeed a heroic city, it can be seen that the first emperor's handwriting was so big, and it is really incredible that such a majestic city was built under this Danyang Pass. I think it's a lot of manpower and material resources."
