"King Hejian, this is the emperor's order. Please return to Chang'an. The troops in Daoxingtai, Henan, will be temporarily controlled by Li Jing and assisted by Zhang Gongjin."
Chen Fu, the eunuch of the palace, handed the imperial decree into the hands of Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong chuckled, without showing the slightest trace of frustration on his face and said: "I have not returned to Chang'an for five years while the army is away. This time I return to Chang'an, and I finally have the opportunity to meet the emperor and reminisce about the past."
Li Xiaogong said this, but the generals below had different expressions.
Chen Fu said quickly: "The prince is an important minister of the country. When I return to Chang'an this time, the emperor has entrusted me with important matters. The current situation in the Tang Dynasty has changed, and there is no need for the support of such an important minister as the prince."
Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "I understand. Please tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I will put down military affairs and return to Chang'an tomorrow. You can go to the inn to stay first. I still have military affairs to be delivered here."
Chen Fu heard that the other party did not refer to His Majesty, but to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He smiled awkwardly and said: "The Crown Prince is young, and it is indispensable for the county king to help the Crown Prince, so I will resign first."
So he bowed to Li Xiaogong again and then withdrew.
After Chen Fu left, only a series of generals were left standing in the tent, such as Pang Yu, Wu Heitai, Zhang Zhenzhou, and Lu Zushang still had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Li Xiaogong smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have been doing this for half my life, and I have never done anything untoward. People who read fortune tell me that I will live a long life and be rich. Now that I am returning to Chang'an, I will preserve my wealth. Why do you need to worry?"
General Zhang Zhenzhou said: "Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin's army is attacking Henan, the emperor. No, it is His Highness the King of Qin. Changing generals at this time will not shake the morale of the army."
Another general, Wu Heitai, also said: "Commander. Some rough guys don't understand the things in the court, but our army cannot live without a commander for a day. Now Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin are in full force. We are preparing to fight with the commander." Let¡¯s fight a good battle together and let the Zhao people know how powerful our Tang army is, what is going on now, and how can we fight this battle.¡±
After saying that, Wu Heitai sat down angrily.
Li Xiaogong glanced at the generals and said, "You don't need to say anything. This time, I don't care whether it's the prince or the emperor's will. Since I have decided to return to Chang'an, I will not care about my mother-in-law. As for how to fight against Zhao Jun next, I If you want to be a pharmacist, Hongshen and I can handle it."
When Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin heard Li Xiaogong mention them, they both clasped their fists and said, "Commander!"
Li Xiaogong walked up to Li Jing. He spoke earnestly and sincerely: "Physician, your talent is ten times better than that of someone who has been regarded as a general throughout the ages. You are no less than Sun Wu. After Jiang Shang, you are just nothing."
Li Xiaogong originally said that "manpower sometimes runs out." But he didn't say the last sentence.
"Everyone, I am going to Chang'an. During this period, you must obey Li Jing's orders. You must not violate them. Do you understand?" When Li Xiaogong said this, he glanced at the generals.
"No!"
The generals below will all agree to the order.
At this time, Li Xiaogong took off his jade belt and handed it to Li Jing.
The belt is a kind of belt, which is a custom passed down from the barbarians to the Han people. On the belt hangs seven items, including a calculation bag, a knife, a whetstone, a Qibizhen, a needle, a syringe, and a flint bag. It is commonly known as the seven things of the belt. The jade belt is worn by many powerful and powerful military officers. Military officers of the third rank and above in the Tang Dynasty can wear this jade belt.
And when Li Xiaogong handed over his running belt to Li Jing, he obviously said in front of the generals that Li Jing would be the coach from now on, and you should not take it lightly. Although Li Jing was an outstanding general, he was not qualified enough. Therefore, he wanted to lend his prestige to Li Jing and let him intimidate the generals. As for myself, I am afraid that I will never regain military power in the future.
After Li Xiaogong's death, brothers Li Shentong and Li Shenfu from Hanoi were also transferred to Chang'an. The position of general was succeeded by Li Shimin's confidants Gao Zengsheng and Cheng Zhijie, who were responsible for the defense of Hanoi.
The general manager of Jiangzhou, King Xiangwu Li Chen, was also transferred to Chang'an, and the general manager of Zuo Xiaowei was Duan Zhixuan.
However, the transfer of military power was not smooth sailing. The rise of generals in the Tiance Mansion made many loyal to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remnant party deeply uneasy. Li Shimin's liquidation overtly and covertly continues here. When Li Xiaogong returned to Chang'an, Li Tang's Henan war situation suddenly collapsed.
Stationed in Runan County, Li Sixing, the former guard of the King of Qi, led his army to rebel and allowed the Zhao army to enter Runan. Ruyang, Xiping and other important towns in Runan were lost one after another.
After Li Sixing, Qianniu Li Zhian, the crown prince of the East Palace, gathered a crowd to revolt. Li Leliang, the head of the Li Tang clan, led his army to rebel. Although Li Jing suppressed these two rebellions, the Zhao army commanded by Xu Shiji took advantage of the situation and moved in, causing Li Tang to be in Henan. The situation fell into a passive position and Li Jingcai took over.Henan could only be occupied for ten days, and Henan was already in flames of war.
Huainan, the whole county of Runan has fallen!
Then the Tang Army in Yingchuan County was defeated by Xu Shiji, and the Tang Army's five thousand troops were annihilated!
Li Jing had to shrink his troops from the front line to protect Xiangcheng and Huai'an. By now, Li Tang had lost half of Henan.
And a violent storm in Guanzhong is also brewing.
In a luxurious house in Chang'an, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe looked at Yi Wen and said to himself with a smile: "I am in conflict with the king. I asked him where he was, and he replied that you are the king!" Haha, it seems that destiny is mine!"
After saying that, a dozen of the disciples on the side all stood up and echoed: "Since the destiny lies with the young master, we are willing to take the young master as the master and start the fight immediately!"
And this man is Li Yili, the son of Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an in Li Tang. And the men around him are not ordinary figures. For example, Liu Deyu was once the Zuo Nei Commander of Li Jiancheng's house, and Changsun Anye was the half-brother of Changsun Wuji. He is currently the prison general and the commander of the army Yuan Hongshan, who was Tuoba of the Northern Wei Dynasty. After the surname, the rest of the people in the house were not ordinary people. They were either the prince, King Qi Yudang, or outstanding figures among the descendants of Guanlong.
Li Yiyu clasped his hands behind his chest and said: "Li Shimin was able to use the help of the Nanya Imperial Army to successfully remonstrate and seize the position of the East Palace. Why can't we follow his example and succeed?"
The eldest grandson Anye said: "Yes, the people of Li Shimin are rebelling against their relatives, and even the royal family including King Yi'an is against him. Now that the destiny is on the young master, we have no reason not to act in accordance with the times, overthrow Li Shimin, and welcome the new emperor to the throne. !¡±
Changsun Anye was the one who said this. He didn't have a good impression of Li Shimin. Everyone knew that he had fallen out with Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin's wife, Changsun Wujia.
"yes!"
"exactly!"
Everyone said it one after another.
People with a discerning eye can see that the rebellion plotted this time seems to be Li Yili's decision to rebel because of the prophecy and destiny. In fact, it was the prince of Chang'an, the remaining party of the King of Qi, who was dissatisfied with Li Shimin's poor treatment of the clan's children and reused officials of the Tiance Mansion for a rebellion.
