At this time, Li Xing's army was also falling into a situation where it was difficult to advance an inch. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu King Li Han's army marched westward, and the army of Hong King Li Min and Han King Li Su marched north, all of which were already converging with the army of Li Chun, King of Yu. At this time, the Third Route Army had exceeded 400,000, forcing Li Xing, who had only 200,000 troops, out of Luoyang, and had retreated to Ruizhou, north of the Yellow River, where he confronted the rebels with the danger of the Yellow River. And Li Gan, the king of Shu, and Li Qing, the king of Xiang, could only stand still.

Zhuge Yunzhi of the northern front was ordered to be in danger and was promoted to marshal, at this time in the face of the double-sided attack of the Xiongnu army and the Bohai and Silla coalition forces, but he could only rely on the steepness of Taihang Mountain to hold the line of Taihang Mountain, and even Datong was lost. Jizhou has long fallen into the pocket of the Bohai and Silla coalition forces, and Li Gan, the king of Qi, has already retreated to Cangzhou and Dezhou. Li Ding, the king of Yue, had crossed the Huai River and surrounded Fengtai County.

At this time, news came from South Vietnam that Tianzhu had annexed the Central and Southern countries with 600,000 troops and arrived at the Chenla border. With the strength of Zhenla, the Tianzhu army would soon advance into South Vietnam, threatening both South Vietnam and Yunnan. Now in Tibet, Kuntsan and Puzan are each mobilizing their own armies, and they are already fighting head-on. The Northwest rebels have swept away the countries of the Western Regions, gathered 200,000 troops, and are heading east at the starry night to enter Jiayu Pass.

At this time, the land of the Celestial Empire was full of people fleeing the war, and some of them joined the rebels in order to survive, and the strength of the rebels was gradually growing. And some of the people whose lives are unsustainable have either become homeless or have fallen into the grass, but they have come to harm their own villagers.

Most of the people fled to the southwest and south, and now there is no war in Fujian, Hunan, Liangguang, Qiongzhou in the south, Sichuan, Shu, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places in the southwest. In the north, only Shandong was safe, but the army left by King Wu and the combined forces of Bohai and Silla in Hebei were also approaching Shandong.

Li Xing was forced to withdraw from Henan, which immediately made the people of the capital panic, and some wealthy businessmen and tycoons with big businesses began to prepare to flee the capital. But some people feel that it doesn't matter, no matter which anti-king invades the capital, it is also the world of the Li family, and it has nothing to do with the people of Pingtou.

At this time, Li Zhe did not expect that his decision to withdraw military power would cause so many feudal kings to rebel. I deeply regret Li Zhe, and I began to get a little tired of those ministers who did not try their best to dissuade them, and these people who made me feel bored were chattering like birds in the morning, and they kept calling. Li Zhe simply closed his eyes, anyway, at such a distance, these old decayers couldn't see clearly.

And these ministers, who were originally united in action, are now divided into two factions with different opinions. One faction advocated holding on to the capital and waiting for the arrival of King Qin's army. The other faction bluntly said that a few months have passed, and no army of King Qin has arrived, and it is obvious that the capital is no longer able to hold on, and it is recommended that Li Zhe make the decision to enter Sichuan as soon as possible.

Li Zhe suddenly felt as if he had lost the support of the whole world, and now he is still supporting himself, that is, these Wenchen who bore him. Only these ministers who uphold orthodoxy will still support themselves.

Although he was a little reluctant to let the country go, Li Zhe was actually ready to enter Sichuan, but he always wanted some face, and he didn't want the courtiers and the people to regard him as a faint monarch who abandoned the country and fled for his life alone. Li Zhe was willing to sit on the dragon chair and listen to these ministers fighting, just waiting for them to make a decision, and the ministers proposed that it was much more comfortable for him to be than to run away from the wilderness.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhe finally reluctantly agreed to the suggestion of patrolling the southwest in the continuous admonition of the ministers. After ten days of preparation, 400,000 troops marched out of the capital and escorted Li Zhe. The remaining 200,000 troops were made up of Prince Cheng Li Chengye. Li Zhe's patrol made the people of the capital panic, and countless people followed Li Zhe's army and entered Sichuan to avoid chaos.

Xuan Qi sat at the head of the old princess's bed, holding the old princess's already skinny hand. At this time, the old princess had fallen into a coma, so she could only boil some rice soup and pour it into her throat. In addition, Xuan Qi also used his true qi to massage the old princess's whole body every day. And Li Xing, who was far away in Ruizhou, although he received the news that the old princess was seriously ill, he could not return to Beijing at all because of the urgent military situation.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, the old princess finally did not survive and passed away, and the palace was in mourning. In these short years, Li Hu, the old princess, Xia Xingyun, and Li Sheng left one after another, giving the already thriving palace more sad atmosphere. When the old princess went out of the funeral, it was the most turbulent moment in the capital, and countless princes and nobles had already figured out their own ways and left the capital.

At this time, Li Zhe, who had just arrived in Yizhou, was put under house arrest by Li Gan, the king of Shu, and the 400,000 army was forced to surrender to Li Gan, but Li Gan suddenly became the strongest force among the anti-kings. On September 11, Li Gan sent troops to besiege the city of Longnan, and effortlessly took the important town that was most likely to threaten northern Sichuan. Since then, Sichuan and Shu have been like an iron plate, and if the anti-kings from all over the country want to attack Sichuan and Shu, they have to weigh it well.

Li Xing, who received the news, sighed, and in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers and the people, he simply ordered the 200,000 troops to surrender, and he rushed back to the capital with only Xingxing Shu and Peng Li. Li Xing didn't catch up with the old princess after all, but Qin Yingying took her son Li Feng to the old princess's grave, and the family respectfully kowtowed to the old princess three times.

On the seventh day of October, Li Chengye, the prince of Cheng, announced that he would stand on his own, and Shaanxi, Gansu and Jin fell into the hands of Li Chengye. Li Chengye sent his son Li Yuan to Yanmen Pass to take over the defense of the Taihang line, and Zhuge Yunzhi simply resigned.

From then on, the world suddenly fell into calm, and the anti-kings and the Balhae and Silla coalition forces seemed to have made an agreement, and at the same time stopped the pace of attack. Li Chengye, the prince of Cheng, occupied the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jin; Li Chun, the king of Yu, Li Han, the king of Wu, Li Su, the king of Han, and Li Min, the king of Hong, occupied Ruizhou, Henan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Jianghuai provinces in southern Jin; Li Qian, the king of Shu, occupied Sichuan and Shu; Li Qing, the king of Xiang, Li Gan, the king of Qi, Li Cheng, the king of Fujian, and Li Xian, the king of Gui, also declared their independence and occupied one side of their own; the combined forces of Bohai and Silla already occupied the whole province of Hebei and the northeastern border; and the Xiongnu in the north also simply withdrew their troops and did not attack again.

The rare calm calmed the fleeing civilians a little, and they began to build their homes again, and the land of the Celestial Empire has been torn apart ever since.
