(Give me a reward and give me a monthly ticket!)

Liaodong City.

On the golden hall of the former Goguryeo Royal Palace, Li Jing, the Prince of Andong, Hebei, Northeastern Road Army Marshal, Ziqing and other twelve towns, including the observation ambassadors, comfort ambassadors and other long names, was wearing a small lapel wallet, a pair of tight-lipped leather pants, and a white rhino belt around his waist. His long hair was tied up on the top of his head, and he tied a bun. He did not wear a crown, but directly inserted a mutton fat jade hairpin.

There is a fire path inside the walls of the hall, and it is burning. Even in the Liaodong season in November, the hall is still as warm as spring.

Li Jing looked at the note that the Goguryeo eunuch Park Jung-un respectfully presented, and glanced at the head of the head to scan the Hebei envoy standing in the hall. The envoy who came to serve on behalf of the four towns of Hebei was Li Jing's old acquaintance. He is currently the governor of Mozhou of the Lulong Army and the commander of the Dingba Du of the Lulong Army in Hebei. He was Liu Rengong and Liu Kutou. He was originally a subordinate of Li Maoxun, and later became Li Keju's subordinate, and then became Li Quanzhong's subordinate. Now in a blink of an eye, he returned to Liu Yue's subordinate.

Because Liu Rengong and Li Jing were able to use it many times, the four towns in Hebei sent him here again this time.

After retracting his eyes, he swept Liu Kutou's letters over, Li Jing smiled slightly.

As he expected, Liu Rengong came here because he finally made a statement before, and the north and south dispatched troops to express his support for the court.

Li Jing sent 10,000 troops to the border in the north of Youzhou, and at the same time, he mobilized and arranged 20,000 troops on the Qingziqi line south of the Yellow River. This mobilization and arrangement really made the four towns in Hebei feel extremely stressed.

In addition to destroying the Yiwu Army at the beginning with lightning speed and expanding the three towns into four towns, the three towns in Hebei fell silent for a moment. Instead of attacking the imperial towns as imagined, they recruited soldiers and bought horses. They each guarded their respective territory and arranged heavy troops on the Taihang Mountains, the Yellow Rivers, and the Youzhou line. They defended all sides, and the central part was empty.

The arrangement of the four towns was obviously inadequate and did not dare to attack Hedong. At the same time, it was not difficult to see that they were very afraid of the towns that had never expressed their opinions. The towns had a huge territory, not only had huge territory in Liaodong, but also occupied the four former Lulong army states of Jitanpingying in the north of Youzhou, which were directly towards Youzhou. At the same time, in the south, the towns of Ziqing Town, although they did not connect with Weibo Town, but were separated from the Yichang Army, but also made the Hebei rebels dare not attack the Yichang Army directly, fearing that they could touch the counterattack of the towns.

In addition, the town has a strong naval army and can attack Youzhou or Chengde from the east coast at any time. It can be said that in terms of strategic geography, the three towns in Hebei are now completely at a disadvantage of Li Jing. They have to guard against Li Jing. If Li Jing suddenly sends troops from behind, it will be quite troublesome.

Now Li Jing has made a statement and stands on this side of the court. This has a huge blow to the four towns in Hebei. This time, Liu Rengong was sent here in the hope of changing this result.

The gifts sent by the four towns were very expensive, with 20 geniuses and ten beauties each, and there were 10,000 taels of gold. However, these were not the ones that surprised Li Jing the most, because when Li Jing turned to the second page of the gift list, he was shocked and frowned.

The gifts of the four towns marked on the second page are the six crowns of the emperor.

The six crowns are the emperor's clothing of the Tang Dynasty emperors, including large furnishing crowns, robe crowns, robe crowns, robe crowns, robe crowns, robe crowns, robe crowns, and mysterious crowns. They are the imperial robes worn by the emperor on six different occasions.

All six crowns were available, and each one was quite complete. Even the four towns in Hebei engraved six emperor seals for Li Jing.

Seeing this, Li Jing really wanted to scream absurd thoughts.

No wonder people say that during the Five Dynasties, the thing that generals like to do the most was to support others as emperors. It was in an era like the Five Dynasties that the yellow robe of Song Taizu could be made. It turned out that Li Jing always believed that the yellow robe of Song Taizu must be done by him instructing the people below to do it.

But after so long in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing finally believed that Song Taizu's yellow robe was definitely not what he instructed his subordinates to do. But those subordinates took the initiative. Just like now, Li Jing is the Prince of Andong of the Tang Dynasty, but only because he had reserved the emperor's orders before, the four towns in Hebei who were afraid of him immediately took the initiative to send the emperor's six crowns, and even the jade seals were carved for him.

If Li Jing had not been far away in Liaodong City, and the four towns in Hebei were not his subordinates. Li Jing believed that if these people were his subordinates and were in Liaodong City at this time, they might have given Li Jing a yellow robe.

However, just thinking about it, Li Jing fully understood the idea of ​​the four towns in Hebei. They had always been semi-separate vassal states, but because of several misunderstandings, they were forced to rebel. However, the current situation made them feel unconfidant. After all, the rebellion of the four towns was much more powerful than the current momentum. But in the end, they were pacified by the court. Now, the mobilization of the court is no less powerful than before.

What worries them even more is that behind them, there is Li Jing, the Prince of Andong who holds 200,000 soldiers. If he is dedicated to the court and leads his troops to attack their backs, it will be difficult for them to hold on to the court's several attacks.

So after thinking about it, I finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

During the reign of Emperor Dezong, the imperial court sent Li Xilie, the prince of Nanping, Huaixi, to attack Ziqing Town. In the end, Ziqing Town sent lobbyists to persuade Li Xilie, and instead sent Li Xilie to form an alliance with the four towns and turned against him. Not long after Li Xilie rebelled, he established Chu and proclaimed himself emperor.

With Li Jing's current military power, his momentum is no smaller than that of the four towns. Moreover, judging from his previous attitude towards the emperor's will and Li Jing's actions over the past few years, it shows that Li Jing is not a simple person either.

After some discussion, the four towns sent Liu Rengong to bring the imperial robe. The meaning was very simple. The four towns were willing to regard Li Jing as the emperor and they were ministers.

For the four towns, if this matter is done, as long as Li Jing becomes an emperor, he will never be able to return to the court again. In this way, the biggest enemy becomes an ally. The power of the anti-army not only increases greatly, but also greatly reduces the power of the court, and the other goes up and down. The situation will change greatly. What they have paid is just a great reputation. Anyway, the four towns have never thought of replacing Li Tang. Their bigger idea is actually to turn the four towns in Hebei into eternal separatist forces, passed down from generation to generation.

I have to say that this move by the four towns in Hebei is very unexpected and tempting.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to resist this temptation. You should know that Li Jing's current subordinates, plus the newly established Liaozhong Fushun Army in the Liaodong City area, have a total of six towns and 200,000 troops and more than five million people in twenty-one prefectures.

If the four towns in Hebei are willing to worship Li Jing as the emperor, then just nod, they will be able to obtain at least 300,000 troops from the four towns and 16 states.

In this way, a rebel with 37 states and 500,000 troops is not impossible to replace the Li family. How many people in the world can refuse this temptation?

However, Li Jing was very clear-headed. Li Jing didn't remember anything when he was so angry.

For Li Jing, if he agreed to the request of the four towns, he could not get any substantial things except for the title of an emperor. Now he would have many disadvantages to becoming emperor. First of all, the morale and unstable hearts of the army and the people within Liaodong will inevitably cause great damage to the vitality of Liaodong. In fact, when he became the emperor, the four towns in Hebei nominally surrendered to him, but in fact he would never command these four towns. On the contrary, because the four towns belonged to him, he would not be able to attack the territory of the four towns again, which was a self-bound force. Another thing, once Li Jing became emperor, he would be the number one enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

The four towns in Hebei claim to be kings. If the court feels unstable, it can still bring shame to pardon their crimes and maintain their current territory. But once Li Jing becomes emperor, the Tang Dynasty will never let him go, and the two sides will only die. From then on, Li Jing becomes the number one enemy of the court and will definitely bear all the firepower. This is too stupid, it is a full-map cannon that attracts firepower.

Now, Li Jing has troops in Liaodong and is watching the tiger's fight. The court and Hebei rebels dare not provoke him on their own initiative, but instead have to be careful with him. Maintaining the status quo, Li Jing can accelerate the construction of Liaodong while continuing to deal with the Khitan and other backyard neighbors, and continue to do business in his own business, and his savings are stronger in his strength.

Just compare the pros and cons of this, Li Jing would not be tempted by the emperor's name to the east, west, south and north.

The gold and the beauty Li Jing accepted it. As for the hot yellow robe, Li Jing returned it back as if it was still moving.

Although Liu Rengong was a little disappointed after returning to the inn, he had long understood how a person like Li Jing could easily be moved by a yellow robe. He was packing his luggage to return tomorrow, but the door of the inn was knocked.

When I opened it, I saw several unknown people, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and it was extremely rich.

Before he could ask, these people had already reported themselves to their homes, and they were all big shopkeepers of major commercial banks.

"We want to do business with General Liu and others!" A middle-aged man who claimed to be the shopkeeper of Wufeng Trading Company said directly. Under the name of Wufeng Trading Company, there is mainly a large fishing fleet and more than a dozen canning factories. Their main business is canned food, and they mainly engage in canned fish, and they also engage in some transactions such as lamp oil.

The business that the shopkeeper of Wufeng Commercial Bank wants to do is actually very simple, using canned food to exchange for population. No matter whether adults or villains or women, as long as they are under 50 years old and have no infectious diseases or major diseases, they will have to. All populations can be exchanged for canned food.
