Chapter 660 The King of One Word and the Admiral of Tiance

(Thank you for your support, please give me a monthly ticket!)

In August of the fifth year of Qianfu, there was a rumor in Hebei that the emperor wanted to cut off the Three Feudals of Hebei, Lu Long and Liu Yue, Li Quanzhong, Wei Bo and Han Jian, Chengde Wang Jing Chong and others were all worried.

In the same month, the assassin assassinated the emperor. After the court investigated, all the evidence pointed to the three towns in Hebei as the person behind the scenes. The news reached Hebei and the Three Feudalists were shocked. Regarding this dirty frame-up, the three towns further believed that this was the court's excuse and was the name of starting a military command.

At the same time, the three towns discovered that Zheng Cong-sei from Hedong led five foreign cavalry to approach Youzhou. Cui Anqian also gathered troops in Henan and pointed directly at Hebei. In addition, the Dongdu, Heyang, Datong, Hezhong, Zhaoyi, Yicheng, and Yiwu towns were also frequently mobilized.

In addition, Liu Yue discovered that Li Jing from Liaodong sent a team of elite cavalry from the east of the Liaohe River and came westward, passing through the western Liaohe Corridor, heading straight to Youzhou in the pass.

Various news combined together finally made the three towns realize that the court was really planning a huge move and preparing to pacify the Three Feudals in one fell swoop.

Under such circumstances, the Three Feudatories finally refused to sit still and waited for death, so they chose to take action first.

In early September, Li Quanzhong, who controlled the Lulong Army in Hebei and Ying's two prefectures, made an appointment with Liu Yue, Han Jian and Wang Jingchong from the three towns, and made an appointment to pass on their descendants through land.

Subsequently, Li Quanzhong raided Dingzhou, the garrison of Yacheng, the commander-in-chief of Yiwu Army. At the same time, Liu Yue, Han Jian and Wang Jingchong also sent troops to assist in the battle.

In just ten days, Li Quanzhong quickly conquered Dingzhou with the help of several generals who bribed Hou Gu, the governor of the Yiwu Army, and then captured Yizhou.

In mid-September, Li Quanzhong handed over the Mozhou, which he had originally controlled to Liu Yue, and called himself the governor of the Yiwu Army.

Liu Yue occupied You, Gui, and Mo Sanzhou called himself the governor of Lu Long Army.

Wang Jingchong, the governor of Chengde Army, occupied the four prefectures of Zhenzhou, Shenzhou, Yizhou and Zhaozhou. Han Jian, the governor of Weibo Army, occupied Weizhou, Bozhou, Xiangzhou, Beizhou, Weizhou and Chanzhou.

The four towns established an offensive and defensive alliance based on the sixteen states.

In the same month, the four towns met in the Hutuo Waterside in Shenzhou.

In this alliance, the four towns formed an alliance to become kings. Liu Yue, the governor of Lulong, called himself the King of Yan, Li Quanzhong, the governor of Yiwu Army, called himself the King of Yi, and Wang Jingchong, the governor of Chengde Army, called himself the King of Zhao. Han Jian, the governor of Weibo, called himself the King of Wei.

The four towns took Han Jian, the strongest Wei Bo Jiedushi, as the leader, and joined forces to fight against the court.

When this news quickly reported to Chang'an, it caused panic.

When Dezong reduced his vassals, he eventually cut off the rebellion of two emperors and four kings, and even Chang'an was lost. Zhu Li was called Emperor Qin according to Chang'an. Li Xilie was called Emperor Chu according to Bian, Zhu Tao, the governor of Lulong, called himself King of Ji, Wu Jun, King of Chengde, was called King of Zhao, Li Na, Ziqing, was called King of Qi, and Wei Botian Yue was called King of Wei.

If it weren't for the loss of Chang'an later and almost killed by Emperor Qin in Fengtian, Dezong changed his strategy and issued an edict to pardon the towns. He actually accepted the separatist rule of each town and then defeated each one. It's hard to say who wins and who loses.

Although in the end, Dezong relied on Li Sheng and other famous generals to kill Emperor Qin Zhu Li, Emperor Chu Li Xilie, and Li Huaixian, the governor of Shuofang. However, his ambition to reduce the vassal states was extinguished. Wang Wujun, Li Na, and Tian Yue abolished the title of king, and Dezong pardoned them. Even the Huaixi general Chen Xianqi killed Li Xilie and surrendered. Dezong immediately appointed Chen Xianqi as the governor. Subsequently, Wu Shaocheng, the envoy of the military commander of Huaixi, killed Chen Xianqi, and Dezong used Wu as the governor to stay in the queen.

Until the reign of Emperor Xianzong, although the Yuanhe revived, they could only conquer the vassal states, but not destroy them.

Now, the four towns in Hebei claim to be king and rebelled, and the entire Chang'an suddenly shook.

After receiving this news, Li Yan, Tian Lingzi, Lu Xie and others also looked extremely ugly.

Just as he was about to take action to cut off Li Jing's military power, but he did not expect to misunderstand the three towns in Hebei. In a blink of an eye, Hebei rebelled and lost a Yiwu army.

Whether Li Yan and others originally planned to cut off the Three Feudals of Hebei, it is no longer important now, because the Three Feudals of Hebei have become kings directly, and now the court cannot do anything if it wants to attack.

Inner to the Zichen Hall, Li Yan has met with his ministers for the first time since he was assassinated.

The emperor's face was a little pale and his whole body was much haggard. He sat there with a look of exhaustion.

When he issued an order to personally expedition, he thought everything was simple. In his opinion, the court was in full swing. As long as he went to Luoyang and ordered Li Jing to hand over the military power, Li Jing would not be able to resist the imperial edict. When Li Jing handed over the military power, he would then split the town**. At that time, Li Jing could also help him cut off the Three Feudals of Hebei and recover the land of Hebei.

But who would have thought that Li Jing agreed to hand over the military power, but there was something wrong with Hebei.

Four towns claim to be kings, and sixteen states in the prefectures rebelled!

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task at the moment is to immediately dispatch troops to destroy these traitors. You must not have any estimation. I think that Zheng Cong-sei of Hedong should be ordered to attack Lu Long, and then use Cui An to attack Wei Bo, and then transfer Luoyang, Heyang, and Hezhong, Yicheng, and the troops from Zhaoyi should be attacked Chengde."

"I think it's inappropriate." Someone immediately objected, "I think that the troops of Luoyang Heyang, Hezhong Yicheng Zhaoyi and other towns should be transferred to Cui Anqian's command and formed a south camp. The towns of Hedong, Datong, Tiande and Zhenwu formed a north camp, and were commanded by Zheng Cong-sei. The north and south attacked at the same time!"

Zheng Cong-sei and Cui Anqian were both civil officials who were more capable of fighting. In addition, there were Xin Xi, deputy governor of the Datong Army, and the Zhenwu Army Yu. In the south, Cui Anqian also had generals like Zhang Zimian.

However, Li Yan summoned the Ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, Hotan Lingzi and others to discuss it in Yanying Hall yesterday.

The biggest problem now is not that the four towns in Hebei have rebelled, nor is it that the employment of the military commanders of the court in the north, Zheng, Nan and Cui. The question that Li Yan and the others are most worried about is what attitude will the towns far away from Liaodong and east of Hedong after the rebellion of the towns in Hebei have been rebelled?

Li Jing had previously agreed to hand over the military power and agreed to be transferred to Hebei. But now that Hebei reversed, the situation will be different immediately.

At that time, Li Xilie, the governor of Huaixi Town, was also the Prince of Nanping, who was granted the title of Dezong. He was appointed as the Hannan and the Hanbei recruited the envoys. Later, the court asked Li Xilie to discuss the four towns, but in the end, Li Xilie colluded with the four towns and claimed to be the Marshal of the World and King Jianxing. After attacking Bianzhou, he was also called Emperor Chu.

If Li Jing also thinks that the current situation is available and he will also rebel against the Tang Dynasty, what will he do?

Li Jing is still in the east of Hebei. If he reverses, the strength of the rebels will increase exponentially, with more than 30 towns. It is still a matter of whether hundreds of thousands of soldiers can stop Li Jing.

It is not only Tian Lingzi and Li Yan who are worried about this, but almost all other ministers have such concerns.

After all, the court had wanted to remove Li Jing's military power. Li Jing had obeyed orders and might have felt that he was not sure to rebel against the court. But now with four towns ahead, the situation is very different.

Prime Minister Dou Lu asked, "Your Majesty, I think that the Prince of Andong should be transferred to the pass to quell the rebellion. The Zhenzhan has 200,000 troops, and the soldiers are elite and good. It is the time to use troops. If the troops to seize the troops, the imperial court will have three armies, Zheng, Cui and Li. Even if the four Hebei counterattacks are rebelled, it is not worth fearing."

Lu Xie snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid that Li Jing will not obey orders."

All the ministers in the palace understood what Lu Xie said. The court issued an order to resolve Li Jing's military power, split the town and send troops to Liao. This was almost a knife to Li Jing's back. It was good if Li Jing did not rebel directly. At this time, are you still counting on Li Jing's loyalty to the court? If he doesn't take the opportunity to rebel, he is already loyal.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not impossible to adjust the ** if Li Jing is appeased. It is urgent to issue an order to grant Li Jing a higher position and give him more rewards. I believe that Li Jing should be able to send troops."

Yu Cong, the prime minister who has rarely spoken, said: "Li Jing has split the town according to the order, so he has no troops."

"It could be split at the beginning, but now it can also give the order to hand over the command of the five-town soldiers and horses to Li Jing. For example, you can add Li Jing to a position of marshal of the five-towns." Prime Minister Doulu explained.

Since the court meeting, Tian Lingzi has not said anything. He just watched the ministers in the court coldly. Now he finally heard someone mentioning that he would return the military power to Li Jing. He looked extremely ugly, but at this time, he could not speak out. He was the one who proposed to resolve Li Jing's military power, but Li Jing agreed. Instead, he made a fuss in Hebei to assassinate the palace and almost lost his life, and the Three Vandals were completely rebelled. At this time, no matter what he said, the emperor probably thought that he had mistook public for personal gain.

If Li Jing proposed to let the emperor kill him and agreed to send troops, he would probably not have any objections. Therefore, now he is low-key, for fear of causing people to blame Hebei for his rebellion.

The experienced officials all understood that at this moment, no matter what kind of mood and attitude Li Jing was, they had to first appease the Prince Andong who held heavy troops.

"How should the Prime Minister Doulu think he should issue an order?" Li Yan asked. It was related to the Li Tang Dynasty. Although the little emperor liked to play, he had to sit patiently on this hall now.

When he heard the emperor's inquiry, Douluo was a little unaware of how to answer. To appease Li Jing, he must bring out some useful information. But he could not take the post of Li Jing Town's ** Jiedushi and other newly dismissed positions, otherwise the court would slap itself in the face.

After thinking about it, he still didn't think about what kind of reward he should give, which was both sincere and could make Li Jing's heart moved.

Li Jing is now named Prince, which is at the end. His official position is from the first-rank general of the cavalry, as well as the superior ministers such as Shangzhu Kingdom and Taifu.

It’s always hard to be granted the title of Li Jing as a king. If it is not given the title of Yi Zi Wang, then if it is granted an official position, what other official positions are above Li Jing now? After thinking about it, it seems that Wen has the Shangshu Ling and Wu has the General of General Tiance, which are truly powerful and higher than Li Jing’s current official position.
