At the beginning of the spring of the sixth year of Wude, chaos began to appear at the turn of Lingnan and Jiangdong.

Half a year ago, when boating in the Furong Garden, Li Yaoshi and Li Shimin once talked about that Du Fuwei entered Beijing and stayed in Danyang with Fu Gong Yi, but handed over the military power to Wang Xiongdan, obviously wary of Fu Gong Yi.

However, in just a few months, the events they foresaw have been revealed.

Pharmacist Li comforted Lingnan a few years ago, and there were many characters who left a deep impression on him.

Liu Xun's Wenzhi, Feng An's might, Yang Shiluo's love for the people...

However, Zhang Shan'an made him vigilant.

This person was a thief when he was a teenager, and many of the heroes in the late Sui Dynasty were thieves, but they were often forced by circumstances.

But this Zhang Shan'an seems to be a thief.

It was no accident that he took refuge in Lin Shihong and could not be trusted.

A few years ago, he helped Li Tang attack Lin Shihong, and what he thought about was not the well-being of the people, but personal profit.

Such a person, Pharmacist Li naturally would not ignore it.

He has received information, and Zhang Shan'an and Fu Gongqi have been in contact with each other from time to time.

Therefore, at the turn of the spring and summer of this year, when Zhang Shan'an rebelled in Hongzhou, Pharmacist Li knew that Fu Gongyi was preparing to start an incident.

When the Lingqu steep gate was time-consuming, he ordered Zhang Baoxiang to transfer the elite of the sea eagles from Guizhou to Linyuan.

In this way, once chaos breaks out, the special forces can sail down the Xiangshui River, enter the river, and go straight down to Jiangdong.

Zhang Shan'an knew very well what Pharmacist Li was capable of, and he did not dare to advance westward, so he had to attack and plunder eastward.

Although Li Yuan sent Zhang Zhenzhou from Shuzhou to attack south, Zhang Shan'an had already captured Sunzhou.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the situation in Jiangdong was chaotic, and Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong, and Chen Ling attacked each other.

Among these many local forces, only Du Fuwei was attached to Li Tang, but he was only nominally under Li Yuan's master, and the center could not command Jiangdong in essence.

By the fifth year of Wude, Chen Ling, Shen Faxing, and Lin Shihong had fallen one after another, and Li Zitong was also defeated by Du Fuwei and sent to Chang'an.

At this time, looking at Jiangdong, Du Fuwei was the only male master.

However, looking at the "world", beyond Jiangdong is all Li Tang rivers and mountains.

So Li Yuan summoned Du Fuwei into the court and tried to effectively control Jiangdong.

Du Fuwei left Jiangdong and stayed in Danyang with Fu Gong Yi, but handed over the military power to the right general Wang Xiongdan, which made Fu Gong Qi quite dissatisfied.

Du Fuwei knew himself very well as a friend of the commander-in-chief, and he had Kan Ling as the left general and Wang Xiong as the right general, and did not let the military power fall into the hands of the auxiliary prince.

Fu Gong Yi was upset, so he and the old man Zuo Youxian pretended to learn the Tao and open the valley, and Tao was obscure and forbearing.

At this time, Du Fuwei took Kan Ling into Beijing, and before leaving, he specially told Wang Xiongdan: "After I go to Chang'an, you must not be derelict in your duties, so as not to change the auxiliary princess." ”

As expected, as soon as Du Fuwei left Danyang, Fu Gongqi and Zuo Youxian plotted to start an incident.

However, the military power is in the hands of Wang Xiongdan, and it is difficult for Fu Gongqi to get his hands on it.

So he falsely claimed to have received a letter from Du Fuwei and expressed doubts about Wang Xiongdan's loyalty.

Wang Xiong was excited, resentful, and refused to take a look at things.

Fu Gongyi took the opportunity to seize military power, and then sent someone to inform Wang Xiong of his plan to raise troops.

Wang Xiongdan was very remorseful, refused to obey, and was hanged.

Fu Gongyi also forged a letter, alleging that Du Fuwei was detained by Li Yuan in Chang'an and could not return to Jiangdong, so he had to be ordered to raise troops.

At this time, Wang Xiongdan had been "rectified" because of his "second heart", and Kan Ling was "detained" by Chang'an, so he hated the enemy and supported the auxiliary prince.

He then proclaimed himself emperor in August of the sixth year of Wude, with the name of Song, and raised troops against the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Li Tang's power not only had not really reached Jiangdong, but also Huainan, Huaibei, and Jianghan were not very stable.

The auxiliary public is against the flag, and there are many people who tend to follow.

Li Yuan wanted to edict Li Shimin, who was in Bingzhou at the time, to be the marshal and send troops to Jiangdong, but he refused to leave because...

Two and a half years ago, Jieli Khan entered Koufenyin to save Wang Shichong, and after Li Yuan transferred Liu Shirang back to fight, Liu Shirang stayed in Bingzhou.

During this period, Jieli tried to say that Liu Shirang was surrendered, but he could not succeed; tried to pass the pass again, but was also blocked by Liu Shirang.

After Liu Wuzhou's defeat, his deputy Yuan Junzhang attached himself to the Turks, and at that time he and Liu Wuzhou's old subordinate Gao Manzheng were in Mayi.

Liu Shirang guarded the southern city of Mayi, on the one hand, he lured the soldiers of Mayi to surrender with a generous reward, and on the other hand, he used cavalry to harass the suburbs of Mayi, destroying agricultural grain crops, and Yuan Junzhang was helpless.

At this time, Li Tang sent an envoy to surrender, and Gao Manzheng knew that the people of Mayi were interested in Chang'an, so he persuaded Yuan Junzhang to surrender to Tang, but Yuan Junzhang did not comply.

Gao Manzheng led troops to attack at night, forcing Yuan Junzhang to flee to the Turks, and then annexed to the Tang Dynasty with Mayi.

When Yuan Junzhang went to the Turks, he wanted to get rid of Liu Shirang.

On the one hand, he led the Turkic army to invade Mayi, and Li Yuan urgently transferred Li Jiancheng to garrison the northern border, and Li Shimin to garrison the state; On the other hand, he sent someone to tell Li Yuan, saying that Liu Shirang fornicated with the Turks, and Li Yuan easily believed it!

Li Shimin's troops were close to Liu Shirang's left, knowing that this was a false accusation, and wrote to defend him.

However, at this time, Li Yuan was already deeply jealous of Li Shimin, and the more Li Shimin defended Liu Shirang, the more Li Yuan decided that this person must not be kept.

At this moment, the news of the incident came from Fu Gongyi.

Li Yuan then ordered Li Shimin to be the marshal of the Jiangzhou Road March, and ordered him to recruit Fu Gongqi, but in fact he wanted to transfer him out of Hedong.

However, Li Shimin refused to leave the state for a while because of Liu Shirang's affairs.

Li Yuan had no choice but to make Li Xiaogong the marshal and lead the water division out of Jiangzhou; With Li Yaoshi as his deputy, he led the troops of Jiao, Guang, Quan, and Gui out of Xuanzhou.

And Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, and Li Shiji, the governor of Qizhou, came out of Huaisi, plus Ren Bi, Zhang Zhenzhou, Lu Zushang, Zhou Faming, Kan Ling, and the chief of the seven-way march were all subject to Li Xiaogong and Li Yaoshi.

In addition, Li Daliang was appointed as Jiangdong's pacification envoy.

The edict came to Lingnan, and when he came out of the dust, he packed his bags with Suizhu and took his two children back to Beijing.

Pharmacist Li issued an urgent military order, on the one hand, to Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and Quanzhou, and ordered each state to send 3,000 cavalry to Xuanzhou; On the one hand, he ordered Zhang Baoxiang to lead the elite of the sea falcons to Jiangzhou and join Li Xiaogong.

At the same time, he sent three urgent letters, one to Li Xiaogong, asking him to take Li Xizhi, the governor of Jiangzhou, as the head of the navy; unanimously agreed with Li Xianzhi and asked him to assist Li Xiaogong; The other sent a letter to Li Daliang and asked him to pay attention to Zhang Shan'an.

He led Lu Zesheng, Xue Guwu, He Bi, etc., and led 3,000 Guizhou foot horses to Xuanzhou.

On the way, Pharmacist Li and Lu Zesheng discussed the situation.

Lu Zesheng said: "Before Jiping Xiao Milling, our army had been preparing for war in Kuizhou for a year and a half. Now that the teacher is in a hurry, it is urgent to plan comprehensively. ”

As early as the first meeting of Sanli, it was discussed and proposed.

If you count from then, it can be said that it has been a miracle to prepare for three years.

However, Pharmacist Li didn't mention this, only nodded and said: "It takes a lot of time to mobilize troops and horses, and it is estimated that all the armies will be together, and it will be in a few months." ”

Lu Zesheng said: "Yes." At that time, Xiao Milling had Lin Shihong in the east and Wang Shichong in the north, so he had to deploy in many ways, and he couldn't plan our army. Now Fu Gongyi has no worries and is only an enemy of our army. This person is very scheming, he has long harbored different intentions, after entering Danyang to build his own banner, the old department of King Wu has to be added to the official Jinlu, so everyone is satisfied. At the same time, he also knew the army, and defeated Li Zitong's tens of thousands of troops with thousands of soldiers and occupied Danyang. This incident is to renovate weapons and armor, store and transport grain and military materials, and everything has already been prepared. ”
