In Chang'an City, an edict posted on the palace gate caused the whole city to be in an uproar.

The edict said that Li Maozhen and Fengxiang were abolished as envoys, as well as the title of King Qi.

The residences of the feudal towns in Chang'an copied the edicts one after another, and sent them back to the feudal towns.

Most of the people of Chang'an hated Li Maozhen to the core, and felt very happy, and it became a hot topic in the market for a while.

Li Maozhen also has a residence in Chang'an, but Fengxiang City is temporarily surrounded by Wang Xingyu, and it is unknown.

But he didn't know, but the states under his command knew that such a major news, once it was issued, would shake the world.

Li Maozhen's Fengxiang plus more than 20 states in Shannan West Road, the territory is large, and the people's hearts are inevitably uneven.

When Zhaozong heard Zhang Jun besiege Li Keyong, he also removed all the officials of Li Keyong, but Li Keyong was different from the Central Plains Domain, his chassis was Shatuo, and he also defeated the imperial coalition army.

And this time Li Maozhen was exempted from the title after his defeat.

Fengxiang everywhere is inevitably fluctuating.

Especially Li Jiqi of Xingyuan.

The last time Wang Jian attacked Hanzhong, Xingyuan was as stable as Mount Tai under his defense, Li Maozhen attacked Huazhou, and in order to guard against Wang Jian, he increased his troops in Xingyuan.

In other words, Li Jiqi now has almost 30,000 troops in his hands.

When Chang'an's newspaper and Li Maozhen's letter for help reached him at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

The scouts continued to transmit the battle situation in the northwest back to Chang'an.

Li Ye didn't expect Wang Xingyu to be so ruthless, and he kept chasing and killing Li Maozhen to Fengxiang, but this Li Maozhen is really not simple, a big defeat, and he can still hold Wang Xingyu.

However, Wang Xingyu failed to solve Li Maozhen before he retreated to Fengxiang, let alone think about it later.

In this era, all big cities are turtle shells, and it is impossible to conquer them in a short time.

"Li Maozhen will undoubtedly be defeated this time, Your Majesty should prepare in advance, and when the veterans of the two divisions are tired, Your Majesty will come out with the whole army, and go to Fengxiang and Suining two towns with one drum." Han Wei was quite interested, this can be said to be the best situation faced by Tang Ting in recent years.

Of course, Li Ye knew that the opportunity could not be lost, so he deliberately transferred Zhou Yunyi back from Tongzhou and asked Zhang Chengye to lead the reorganization of the auxiliary army in Tongzhou.

In Tianxin Pavilion, there was a Zhang Chengye, and there was one more Li Juchuan.

Li Juchuan was quite low-key when he first arrived, but after hearing Han Hao's plan, he frowned: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, Li Maozhen has been running Fengxiang for many years, and it is not possible to go down overnight, and our army is advancing westward, how can Wang Xingyu not know the reason for the cold lips and teeth?" Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu will unite to resist the imperial court, and our army will fall into the quagmire again. ”

Han Wei pondered with heavy eyebrows, and felt that Li Juchuan's words made some sense, but Li Juchuan openly contradicted himself and was a little faceless.

Since ancient times, literati have been inferior to each other, and Han Wei has also heard of Li Juchuan's name, but he didn't expect to be valued by the emperor and stand in Tianxin Pavilion together.

"Oh? With such a good situation, can we let it go? Han Hao's tone was slightly hostile.

Li Juchuan arched his hand at Han Hao, "No, the focus of our army's attention should be on Xingyuan!" ”

"Xingyuan?" Li Ye really didn't think so far, and Xingyuan was far away in Hanzhong, and Wang Jian was eyeing him.

Zhao Chongning and Han Hao glanced at each other.

Li Juchuan said: "The battle of Fengxiang, the key is Xingyuan, if Li Jiqi supports Fengxiang, then Wang Xingyu will be defeated, our army can take advantage of the situation to take Weining, Li Jiqi will not move, Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu are difficult to solve, and our army had better not move." ”

Zhao Chongning said: "If Wang Xingyu captures Fengxiang, what should our army do?" ”

"Wang Xingyu can't attack Fengxiang, Li Maozhen's vitality is greatly injured, but there is still a breath of air, a few righteous sons under his command each lead the army, now we have cut Li Maozhen's official title, and his subordinates will have different hearts, Your Majesty can canonize Li Jiqi as the Xingyuan Festival Envoy, Li Jizhong as the Longzhou Festival Envoy, Li Jihui as the Fengxing Jie Envoy, Li Jiyun as the Fengxiang Jie Envoy, Fengxiang will be chaotic." Li Juchuan said what he thought in one breath.

Don't say I don't know, as soon as I say it, Li Ye knows that Li Maozhen has recognized so many righteous sons.

Although the righteous son can deepen the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the righteous son also gains the right to inherit.

The drama of the righteous son and the parent-child competition for the throne lasted throughout the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty.

Li Maozhen is not dead yet, but this does not hinder the ambitions of his righteous sons.

Li Ye remembered that in history, after Li Maozhen was weak, several righteous sons either defected to Zhu Wen or Wang Jian.

Han Wei and Zhao Chongning are both humble gentlemen who have read poetry and books, and when it comes to the whole person, they are naturally no match for Li Juchuan, both of them sighed, and bowed their hands to Li Juchuan: "Mr. is talented." ”

Li Ye said with a smile: "In the past, Taizong's side room plot was broken, Wei Zheng was upright, and the ministers were listed, I want to revive the Tang Dynasty, and one person's strategy is not enough, and it is inseparable from your concerted efforts." ”

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are open and secret battles.

Li Juchuan was a newcomer, so sharp, he was definitely not liked by Han Hao and Zhao Chongning, Li Ye had to make a round to remind them.

The three of them surrendered to Li Ye at the same time.

However, Li Juchuan's proposal is really good, Li Maozhen does not have any official status now, and several of his righteous sons are all temperance envoys, even if the righteous sons are loyal, won't Li Maozhen panic?

In these years, for the sake of power, there are sons who kill Lao Tzu, not to mention a few righteous sons.

Feng Xiang.

The Suining army was in full swing to attack the city. "Break Fengxiang City and capture Li Maozhen alive!"

Tens of thousands of people under the city shouted.

Wang Xingyu even led a group of personal soldiers to shout under the city: "Li Maozhen, listen, you have been stripped of your official title by the imperial court, you are not the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, nor is it the king of Qi!" ”

Li Maozhen listened to the shouts from the city, as if she was ten years old in an instant, and all the spirit before the battle was gone.

Although he fled back to Fengxiang, he lost most of the 10,000 elites in his hands.

Wang Xingyu is cunning and abnormal, not fighting him, but biting like a wolf pack.

This is how 10,000 elites were cut and blooded a little bit.

Also making Li Maozhen feel like a fish in the throat is Chang'an.

A year ago, Chang'an was still lying in front of him like a woman without clothes, and as long as he was ruthless, Chang'an would be broken.

But at that time, he had just swallowed the entire Shannan West Dao, and his power had expanded too fast, and he couldn't figure out the attitudes of Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, so he had to give up. As everyone believes, Tang Ting is just a dry skeleton in the grave, and he will not do anything more.

In addition, the emperor at that time was like a turtle, unable to fight back, scolded and scolded, and responded to requests, so Li Maozhen also withdrew.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, Tang Ting actually relieved himself and gave himself a fatal blow.

Li Maozhen felt that the eyes of the soldiers around her were not right.

These days, he killed three generals with "bad intentions" in a row. It seems that killing can prove his authority, and killing can make him feel at peace.

He had to do this, and only by killing could he deter the floating hearts of his subordinates.

When the soldiers were strong, they felt that these things were just icing on the cake, but now, Li Maozhen doesn't think so.

The world of Datang in the past 300 years is not only the land area, but also the hearts of the people.

Even he himself has always considered himself a Tang man.

"Hasn't Xingyuan moved yet?" Li Maozhen squinted at the generals standing around her.

No one answered, as if they hadn't heard.

Li Maozhen's gaze swept to whoever was trembling.

"You don't need to panic, isn't it just Wang Xingyu? After all these years, when has this king ever looked at him? It's just a mad dog. Li Maozhen habitually let his voice be gentle, just like the generosity he usually shows in front of everyone.

"Father, there have been many grievances among the people in the city recently, saying that the sons and daughters of the family went into battle to kill the enemy, and there are no bones left." Among the generals, only the righteous son Li Jicheng dared to speak.

Li Maozhen sneered: "Is the knife in your hand carved out of wood?" Can't you see blood? Can't you kill someone? ”

Li Jicheng was speechless.

He is from Fengxiang, so if he wants him to raise the butcher knife to the father in the city, how can he bear it?

"Li Jiqi and Li Jihui are not moving, do you really think that this king is old and useless?" The more Li Maozhen said, the more angry it became.

And at this time, the Suining army that was besieging the city actually retreated.

Could it be that Wang Xingyu is luring himself out of the city for a decisive battle?

Li Maozhen was at a loss for a while, but after many years of war career, he felt that this was a good opportunity.

"The retreat of the enemy army is the time for our army to pursue!" Li Maozhen picked up the lance, he needed a big victory too much to prove himself.

Before he could make a move, a cavalry in the distance rushed into the rear.

Li Maozhen stood on the city wall and looked around, "Haha, it turned out to be Jiyun and my son!" ”
