After the funeral of the first emperor Li Chengwu, the Turkic side immediately announced to the world and issued a document to the outside world.

In this article, the ten major crimes of the crown prince Li Bing are listed in detail:

1. Collusion with the powerful minister Xie Guang and conspiracy to usurp the throne;

2. Contact the three kingdoms of Loulan, Shule, and Chechi to plot chaos in Western Xinjiang;

3. Ambush and kill the imperial court general He Jingming;

Fourth, transfer troops without authorization and attack the imperial capital;

5. Establish another Luoyi court to interfere in state affairs;

Sixth, in the name of governing the Golden River, seizing power, emptying the treasury, laboring the people and losing money;

7. Attack on Li Kui, the eldest son of the first emperor and king of Huaiyang;

8. Murdering Cheng Kaiyang, the descendant of the hero, and splitting the Long Knife Legion;

9. Forging the edicts of the previous emperors in a vain attempt to usurp power;

10. Secretly instructing Yizhou to disrupt the party, falsely transmit government decrees, and gather troops to rebel.

These ten major charges seem plausible, and many of them have long been secretly circulated in the government and the opposition before, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish the truth from the false for a while. And the most critical problem is that each of them is more or less related to the crown prince Li Bing, and some good people can't help but think about it.

Once this confusing document spreads, it can be imagined how huge the negative impact it will have on Li Bing and the Shengtang army.

Xiahou Ninghan secretly scolded Ashina for being despicable in his heart, and at the same time, he was particularly worried about another problem: Li Kui, the king of Huaiyang.

This insidious guy is now entrenched in the Lianghuai region, with about 100,000 people under his command. Although there are not many troops, it is difficult to pose a serious threat to the crown prince. But his special identity is fatal to Li Bing.

From the perspective of the common people, what the Holy Religious Covenant means, and what happened to the two brothers Li Chengwen and Li Chengwu at the beginning, everyone is not very clear.

However, there is a very simple point of view, which is easily accepted: Li Bing is the nephew of the first emperor, and Li Kui is the first emperor's own son, and he is still the eldest son.

When the old man passed away, he left behind a huge family business, whether it was passed on to his nephew or to his son, does it still need to be broken?

The eldest son inherits the ancestral property, which is not only the common sense under the education of the Shengtang civilization, but also the cornerstone of the law that maintains the society and the family.

In other words, the edict of the first emperor and the covenant of the Holy Religion behind Li Bing directly challenged the rules of ethics that had been operated by the people for thousands of years.

At that time, it will be difficult to say who the military and civilians of Shengtang will choose to support.

Xiahou Ninghan had been thinking about this question on the way to leave the imperial capital and continue westward. I have to say that compared with Ge Shuxuan's poisonous soldiers, Ashina's trick is even more vicious. Ge Shuxuan violated the flesh of the Shengtang people and used bloody and terrifying means to conquer them, while Ashina Zhijin, he knew more about the culture of the Shengtang Dynasty, pointed directly at the hearts of the people, and hit everyone, including Li Bing, from the ideological level.

Let Shengtang completely fall into division and chaos!

Buried the first emperor and joined forces with Huaiyang.

Without much effort, Ashina successfully shifted the focus of the invasion of foreign enemies to the orthodox struggle for imperial power within the Shengtang Dynasty. Once Li Bing and Li Jiong went to war, he could watch the fire from the other side, and take the opportunity to let the Turkic army rest and respite, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

This is a conspiracy, even if the opponent can see it clearly, but there is nothing he can do.

Xiahou Ninghan's mind flashed the appearance of Li Bing, Murong Xue, Shen Lie and others, and now they had to figure out a way by themselves. Whether or not he can pass this difficulty will directly determine the luck of Saint Tang.

As for her, the most important task at the moment is to sabotage Ge Shuxuan's conspiracy.

-

Just when Xiahou Ninghan was speeding up and going all the way west, the whole world was entering a new round of game competition.

The reason why Ashina Zhijin held a state funeral for Li Chengwu was indeed as analyzed by Xiahou Ninghan, he deliberately wanted to provoke internal contradictions in the Shengtang Dynasty in order to divert the pressure of the Turkic army.

In the past two months, bad news has spread frequently about the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and Ashina has been a little anxious.

The first is Helianxiong's eastern cluster.

Their strategic goal was to seize the Central Plains region with Luoyi as the fulcrum and engage in a strategic decisive battle with Li Bing's army. However, Lao Jianhua suddenly launched a mutiny, led the Xuanjia Army to the south, and before leaving, he actually abolished all the defense systems of the Eastern Capital. This lack of morality that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself directly led to the fact that the old marshal Helian Xiong did not dare to occupy Luoyi easily.

The reason is very simple, Luoyi, which doesn't even have a city gate, once you enter, you will only be left to be beaten by your opponents.

Without the eastern capital as an advance base, the Turks, who did not have an advantage in strength, could not rashly go deep alone and run to the hinterland of the Central Plains to fight a decisive battle with the Shengtang army. Because at this time, in addition to the prince's troops and horses in the east, there are also a large number of troops in the Jingxiang region in the south, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the danger of being attacked from both sides.

As a result, Helian Xiong deployed the eastern cluster in various important places on the line from Tongguan to Luoyi, and fought a stalemate with Li Bing, constantly sending scout troops to attack and probe and find fighters.

And in this way, the plan to conquer Shengtang will inevitably be slowed down.

At the same time, the fighting in the south-west was not going well.

The Prince of the Temple, Ronia, led the Golden Third Army to attack Hanzhong, and after succeeding, he continued southward, preparing to enter Yizhou and pursue the Holy Tang Dynasty court, which had come here to avoid trouble.

However, contrary to the expectations of this famous Turkic general, the rugged and steep Shu Road became a dead knot in front of the Turkic army.

The Yizhou Imperial Court only sent a small number of soldiers and horses, and then guarded the Shu Road that was "difficult to go to the blue sky" steadily, and no matter how brave the tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of Luo Nia were, it was difficult to move an inch.

After months of exhaustion, the Third Army completely lost its temper. They were replaced by Ronia and replaced by the Fourth Army, which had been reinforced from the rear.

But who knows, just as the two legions were about to change their defenses, the Shengtang Army, which had been on the defensive, suddenly stood up.

The Protector Army, which was jointly organized by the four major martial arts families in Shuzhong - the Tang family, the Xie family, the Song family and the Nangong family, as well as the two major sects of Emei and Qingcheng, attacked from the Golden Bull Road, Micang Road, Lychee Road and Yinping Road, and frantically attacked the exhausted Third Army and the Fourth Army who had just arrived here and lived both on the earth and the earth.

Nangong Yuping, the young master of the Nangong family, personally set up the "Divine Shooting Battalion", and the soldiers were all played by Bashu Orions with superb archery skills. Under his command, the sharpshooter battalion took advantage of the favorable terrain of high mountains and dense forests to select Turkic generals to carry out long-range shooting, and almost never missed.

In just a few days of work, nearly 100 middle and high-ranking officers at the rank of team leader and above were killed, and both regiments were terrified and miserable.

Due to the lack of understanding of the strategic intentions of the Shengtang people, and the battlefield terrain in the Shudao Mountains was very unfavorable to the Turkic cavalry, in desperation, the Prince of the Temple, Ronia, had no choice but to order the Third and Fourth Legions to strengthen their guard, and at the same time retreat back to Hanzhong, waiting for instructions on the next step.

The east did not dare to fight directly with Li Bing, and the south could not gnaw Xishu, and the Turkic army faced the problem of "advancing", however, Ashina's troubles were far more than that. He now feels that the situation is about to become a "dilemma".

Because, the trouble in the west is even greater.

A few days ago, Yun Qianxue sent back the latest report: the two levels were completely cold.

In order to save Gema and the Night Wheel Clan, Yun Qianxue led the Blood Guard Iron Cavalry Legion from the imperial capital, and it took only five days to reach the Zijin Pass, which can be described as a god speed.

But he was still a step too late.

By the time the Blood Guards arrived, the second prince Tanli had already led the Golden Eleventh Legion to fight three vicious battles against the defenders of Zijin Pass, and was also beaten three times in a row.

More than 8,000 Golden Wolf Army buried under the Bone Pass, and the hatred between the Golden Clan and the Night Wheel Clan could not be resolved.

Yun Qianxue looked at the situation in front of her and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

On the one hand, he didn't expect Tanli to be so resolute and make it clear that he had to force his eldest brother Chili's ally Gemma to death; On the other hand, the combat power of the Night Wheel Clan was so strong that Tanli's Golden Wolf Army and Kunli Mingtai's Blood Guard Army joined forces, and they couldn't get a little bargain.

When Kunli Mingtai explained to him everything that happened before, Yun Qianxue suddenly realized: it turned out that the Great Khan had not guessed wrong, and it was indeed Baron Metasequoia who was making trouble!

What level Li Jiangyao is, no one knows better than him: brave as a tiger, cunning as a fox.

He personally presided over the overall situation at Zijin Pass, indicating that the entire Western Xinjiang, including Gema, had already knelt.

The noble Yelun clan and the glorious Yakut Legion actually surrendered shamefully, and they surrendered to a group of Western Territory buns, which was an incalculable blow to the morale of the Turks.

The situation has come to this point, Yun Qianxue no longer has illusions about Gema, the most important thing at the moment is not to persuade the Night Wheel Clan to rein in the precipice and turn back, but to seize the time to recapture Zijin Pass.

and Shengyu Pass to the south.

Yun Qianxue carefully inquired about Tanli and Kunli Mingtai, and after having a basic understanding of the previous three battles, she immediately formulated a new strategy: continue to strengthen the offensive and storm Zijin Pass, and at the same time send a Blood Guard Division to attack Shengyu Pass.

However, to his great disappointment, Zijin Pass and Shengyu Pass could not be attacked.

Needless to say, the Second Army of Zhenjiang has always been known for being good at fighting defensive battles, and has the reputation of "solid as a rock", and the general Du Jian is personally in charge, not to mention a blood guard division, even if the entire army arrives, it may not be able to break through.

And on the side of Zijin Pass, the main battlefield, the situation is even more irritating.

On the opposite side, there were obviously incomplete Yakut troops and sparse Western Xinjiang people, and the number of white-robed knights was not large, but under the command of Li Jiangyao, those guys actually broke out at an astonishing level, and fought fiercely for four days and four nights in a row, and fought a draw with the Blood Guard Iron Cavalry in charge of the main attack!

Of course, the price paid by the defenders was also very large, with more than half of the 40,000 soldiers and horses lost, and they were almost on the verge of collapse.

Seeing that if he struggled to attack a few more rounds, the opponent would completely collapse, but at this critical moment, Li Jiangyao's reinforcements suddenly arrived.

The thunder banner appeared at the head of Zijin Pass, and the third army of Zhenjiang took over!
