Chapter 364 Li Keyong in the Northern Expedition, Wang Ying in the Southern Expedition!
If you have a long drought, you will get a sweet dew, and a small separation is better than a newlywed marriage.
In the mansion where Li Jing and Gongsun Lan had a private secret meeting in Shamen Town, they snuggled up together after a while. The aftermath of passion was endless aftertaste, and the two gradually calmed down their rapid breathing.
Holding Gongsun Lan in her arms and gently caressing her hair all over her head, Li Jing asked Li Keyong about the anti-Tang Dynasty. "How did the imperial court deal with the mutiny of Li Keyong in Yunzhou?"
Gongsun Lan lay on Li Jing's chest, resting her head on Li Jing's arm, and one hand was still drawing small circles on the bulging abdominal muscles on Li Jing's abdomen. Her face was flushed and her cheeks turned red. When Li Jing asked about this, she chuckled and said, "It's funny to talk about this. Then Li Keyong asked the court to let him stay as the queen, but his father Li Guochang also gave the court a memorial in Zhenwu."
"What did Li Guochang say on the phone?"
"Li Guochang's memorial is very funny. He said that he would ask the court to appoint a new Datong defense envoy as soon as possible. If Li Keyong does not listen to the court, he will lead his troops to attack him. He will never let down the country's great kindness in order to love a son! You said, isn't this a good person even if he gets a cheap one?"
When Li Jing heard this, Li Guochang's attitude was indeed a bit too arrogant. His son killed the court and ordered the officers and soldiers to rebel. At this time, he not only did not avoid suspicion, but also ran out to say such fake and fishy words.
"I heard that Li Keyong's mutiny still saw you take Dengzhou and Li Maoxun take Youzhou. Then Li Guochang must have believed that the court would finally admit the fait accompliment as if it were against Youzhou and others. But they didn't think about it. Youzhou was originally a separatist rule for generations, and it was useless to accept it or not, and it was not necessary to control it. But the same is true. In the past, the courts were able to manage the territory. What's more, although Li Maoxun was also a Hu, Li Maoxun did not have much foundation.
Even if he became a Jiedushi in Youzhou, it would not have changed much like other Jiedushi in Youzhou before. However, Li Guochang didn't think about his own situation. He was the leader of Shatuozhi, and Daibei was also a place where the Huhu lived. If Li Keyong had mastered Datong and Li Guochang had Zhenwu next to Datong, the territory of the father and son would be large. There was no stop to enter the side, so if it was not good, Shatuo Li Keyong and his son would have the possibility of the disaster of the Five Barbarians."
Li Jing nodded, lowered his head and kissed Gongsun Lan on the forehead to express his agreement. Li Keyong and his son were indeed different from the general situation. After Li Guochang followed the imperial army to quell the Pang Xun Rebellion, he was very arrogant and domineering. It was precisely because he became more arrogant that the court became vigilant and afraid of him. Finally, he found an excuse to transfer him from the Datong Defense Envoy of the Old Cloth to the Zhenwu Jiedushi, who had no foundation on the grounds of being promoted to Li Guochang's official position.
How could the court now allow his son Li Keyong to serve as the Datong Defensive Envoy? Moreover, after Li Keyong was an official in the court in Yunzhou and even paid back the matter of eating meat, even the prime ministers in the court turned pale.
"How did the imperial court deal with this?"
"What else can it be done? The court appointed Yuan Yi Lu Jianfang, who had served as the governor of Yichang, Datong defense envoy, and the boss of the Li family father and son. He also sent Zhi Xiang, the younger brother of the former defense envoy, to Zhenwu, to Datong, to warn Li's father and son that as long as they abide by Lu Jianfang's military orders, even if this matter is over, the court will definitely arrange a new position for Li Keyong to satisfy him."
Li Jing chuckled: "The Li family and his son will never be satisfied with this result. They have worked so hard to win Datong. How could they spit out the flesh from their mouths again?"
"You are right." Gongsun Lan said, "Then Li Guochang is just doing it. Who knew that the court had really given the position of Datong Defense Envoy to Bijin, which made Li Guochang very angry. This was quite arrogant and barbaric. At this moment, both the father and son refused to obey the order. Lu Jianfang, the new defense envoy, could not even enter Yunzhou. Seeing this, the court had to take a step back and upgraded the level of Datong Zhenjieshen from the Defense Envoy to the Jiedushi, and Li Guochang, the governor of Zhenwu, was transferred to the governor of Zhenwu."
The court did take a step back, and finally let Li Guochang serve as the governor of Datong. However, in the eyes of the court, they made great concessions. But in the eyes of Li Guochang, this was not the case. He only saw that both father and son had two lands. Now that the court did this, the father and son had only one land. Is the court pretending that they can't arithmetic, and are they playing tricks on them?
In anger, Li Guochang Qian, who was determined to do something, simply killed the eunuchs sent by the imperial court to Zhenwu, tore up the edict, and sent him to notify his son Li Keyong that we are rebelling!
When the news of Li Guochang and his son's rebellion was sent back to the court, the prime ministers in the capital were still a little unbelievable. When the urgent report was sent back again, they accepted the fact that Li Guochang and his son were actually dared to rebel. Li Guochang was angry, and the court's princes were also angry. You, a little Hu Zi, of course, if we hadn't taken you in, your entire clan would have been destroyed by Tubo. Now, if you have made some contributions, you would have dared to be so arrogant and domineering. Do you still have the emperor and the king's law in your eyes?
Li Guochang had nine sons, Li Kegong, Li Keyong, Li Kerong, Li Kexu, Li Kening, Li Kening, Li Kening, Li Keqing, Li Keqin, and Li Kerou. When Li Guochang destroyed the imperial edict and killed the envoy, he had two sons, namely Keyong's brother Kejian and his younger brother Ke Rang worked in Chang'an, which was actually equivalent to being a qualifying person. Their residence was located in a prosperous area of Chang'an City, and the Qinrenfang next to the East City. This was the house personally granted by Emperor Xianzong when Zhu Xie was in the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Guochang rebelled, Yaozi immediately ordered the patrol troops to lead troops to surrounded Qinrenfang at night and arrest Li Guochang's son. After a fierce fight, Li Kejian was killed. Although Li Kerang, who was the General of Jinwu at the time, was not as good as the third brother Keyong, he was also very brave. He led more than ten cavalry to fight to the death and rushed out of Chang'an City in a row and went to Nanshan Buddhist Temple at night. Unexpectedly, the monks in the temple recognized their identity as fugitives. These monks became monks to cultivate themselves but not the mind, and were greedy for bounty, so they took advantage of Li Kerang's tired sleeping opportunity to kill him.
"Li Keyong died of his two sons. It seems that he has become a life-and-death enemy with the court." Li Jing sighed and said, even Shatuo, the ace army that had received Tang's favor and entered Tang shortly after he entered Tang, had rebelled. The Tang Dynasty was really in a critical state.
"It's time to say it!" Although Gongsun Lan hated the current Li Tang Dynasty, she was even more ashamed of Li Guochang's actions against Shatuo and his son. No matter what, the great defense of the barbarians is a common concept of all Han people.
"If you are not my race, your heart will be different!"
Gongsun turned around and lay halfway on Li Jing's body. He looked up at Li Jing and said seriously: "You have to be careful. When I was in the capital, I heard some winds, saying that Tian Lingzi was very dissatisfied with you."
Li Jing chuckled: "Actually, there is nothing between me and Tian Lingying. At the beginning, he regarded me as an enemy because the emperor said he wanted to transfer me to Beijing. Later, when I gave gifts to Yaozi and the officials in the capital, he gave him one. As a result, the dead eunuch actually brought his brother to Dengzhou to find me, and even asked me to arrange a military envoy for him in the Zhendong Army."
"You didn't agree?"
"Na Tian Lingzi's hometown was originally Xuzhou. His original surname was Chen. Later, after entering the palace, he worshipped an old eunuch named Tian as Qian's son and changed his surname to Tian. Now he has become the emperor's father, and his power is Xunyao. He wants to arrange the family to join. His brother Chen Jingxuan was just a seller of big cakes. He doesn't know a big word, and he can't make any fist skills. He sells big cakes on such a street, but Tian Lingzi wanted to arrange him to be a military envoy under the tent of Cui Anqian, the governor of Zhongwu Army in Xuzhou. Cui Anqian was the head of the Cui family in Qinghe. I am also a member of me.
The teacher was from my brother. Cui Jieshuai naturally refused in order to be fair. As a result, Tian Lingzi hit a nail in Qian Shuai and asked Chen Jingxuan to come to me again. I am not a ragged person, how could he let such a big cake seller come to my army and horse envoy?" Li Jing still looked disdainful when talking about this. Then Tian Lingzi really thought he was easy to control, so he wanted to send his brother to the army and horse envoy to the army and horse envoy. If he agreed, more people might be inserted, and then, he probably wanted to replace him.
"No wonder." Gongsun Lan raised her eyebrows with two willow leaves: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard a news that Tian Lingzi was going to transfer you to Hedong to pacify the rebellion between Li Keyong and his son."
"Our town east army is far away in Ziqing Town, thousands of miles away from Yunzhou. Can Tian Lingzi make such a request?"
"It's not stopping. There is still Fujian in eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang. Wang Ying, the former Langshan Town, who was detained clothes and food, and entered 69 with his accomplices, launched an uprising. Now his rebels have entered more than 10,000 people, leading more than 10,000 people to capture Kesu and Changzhou. He also took a boat from the river to the sea and entered eastern Zhejiang, conquering Wanghai Town, Taizhou and other places. Its momentum is huge, and it is more powerful than Wang Jingwu of Qingzhou, Wang Xianzhi of Yaoping Army and Huang Chao's Cao Army. It's just because it's remote west Zhejiang and far away from the Central Plains, so it has a smaller impact. I heard that Tian Lingzi told the ministers in the court that the Zhendong Army had a powerful naval army, so it was just right to deal with Wang Ying to the Zhendong Army Navy to go south to Zhejiang and Zhejiang to suppress the rebellion. It also said that the Zhendong Army and you were very grateful to Yaozi, and it was the time to raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while."
Li Jing frowned loudly when he heard this. Tian Lingzi was indeed sinister. On the one hand, he wanted to transfer the cavalry and infantry troops of the East Army to travel thousands of miles to deal with the Shatuo Army, one of the most elite ace troops in the Tang Dynasty in the past sixty years. On the other hand, he wanted to transfer Li Jing's navy to the farther south, west and east Zhejiang to quell the rebellion.
Whether it is Li Keyong, father and son or Wang Ying, this is not easy to mess with. No matter how strong Li Jing's army is, if he fights with them and defeats them, it will naturally be as good as Tian Lingzi's wishes. If he wins, there will definitely be huge losses. And if Li Jing's Zhendong Army separates water and land, Li Jing believes that Tian Lingzi will definitely have more conspiracies to deal with him.
