Chapter 689: King Qin's Seal Again
At this moment, the world is noisy.
In the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, heroes emerged together and competed for the Central Plains.
Huang King Huang Chao's army approached Luoyang, Zhu Wen led 50,000 troops to sweep the Song, Bian, and Ge Congzhou led 50,000 troops to sweep Ying, Hao.
The Tang Dynasty was in horror, and twelve imperial edicts were issued in succession to transfer Cui Anqian, Du Qing and Zhang Zimian retreated into Tongguan to guard the Chang'an gateway.
Zhongwu, Xuzhou, Zhou Ji, Caizhou, Qin Zongquan, and Chenzhou, Lu Yanhong, each of them occupied one state to defend themselves and avoided the war.
King Chongrong, the capital of the Hezhong City, caused another war, and drove away the second imperial governor within a year, claiming to stay in the back and control Hezhong.
Cao Quanru, the governor of the Tianping Army, led his army to defeat Huang Chao in Sizhou, and died. The governor of the Taining Army, Zikerang, was defeated by Huang Chao in Ruzhou.
Influence the army, Xuanwu army was afraid and dared not come out!
The Central Plains is in corruption and no one can stop Huang Chao.
Huang Chao swept across Henan, and the four towns in Hebei were not willing to be lonely and began to attack everywhere. King Jian Chong of Zhao ordered Chengde of the army to attack Cang, Jing, De and Di in the four states of Yichang, and King Han Jian of Wei ordered Wei Bo to divide the troops into two groups, attacking Zhaoyi's army in Xing and Ming prefectures south of Taihang, and crossing the Yellow River to attack the Tianping army Puzhou.
For a moment, the wars were gone, and wars were constantly everywhere. All the troops came out, taking advantage of the chaos to seize more territory.
During this period, the rebel kings sent troops while watching carefully.
Whether in the court, local governments, local governments, or anti-kings from all walks of life, they all attacked fiercely while carefully looking towards the east.
"Where is the troops of the Prince of Andong? Why didn't he attack Youzhou immediately and why did he withdraw from Changping?" Someone sighed deeply. If Li Jing insisted on Changping and took advantage of the situation to attack the army. After taking this pass, he could cooperate with Li Keyong to surround the Youzhou rebels in Guizhou and take them down in one fell swoop. At that time, the Northeast Army and Daibei Army entered Youzhou together, and the situation in Hebei could change immediately.
"Obviously, the Prince of Andong is preparing to send troops from Ziqing, advance westward along the river and Ji, directly rescue Dongdu and kill the Yellow thieves."
Seeing the thief army was powerful, countless people were looking forward to the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Andong, who was a famous Tang Dynasty, sending troops to turn the tide. Although the Tang Dynasty was about to be exhausted, in the eyes of the world, the Tang Dynasty was still orthodox in the three hundred years, Huang Chao was a thief, and the four towns in Hebei were rebels, and no one wanted to see them replace the Tang Dynasty.
Whether it was Huang Chao or the four towns in Hebei, they were extremely afraid of Li Jing's troops at this time. Li Jing had sent troops to Youzhou, Hebei before, but after taking Shunzhou, they immediately stopped attacking and even withdrew from Changping's important place. This made them look forward to Li Jing's ability to continue watching and not take action.
"Li Jing is not a good bird. This man is extremely ambitious and must have the will to replace Li Tang and be independent. Although he has heavy troops and sufficient soldiers, he is accustomed to his behavior and likes to sit in the mountains and watch tiger fights, and then enjoy the benefits of fishermen. This time, he will continue to wait and see, so that we will fight with Li Tang and we will take advantage of both sides and get both sides."
"It's best, but if you guard a corner of the land, do you really think the world will fall into his hands for nothing? As long as you can destroy the Li Tang court this time, the towns in the world will be a mess, and when you look back, you will be the first to destroy Li Jing."
After hearing the horse probing urgently reported that Li Jing's soldiers and horses from Liaodong and Ziqing were all moving, Huang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sarcastic smile: "Li Jing is just a businessman who is good at calculating. It may be possible to run a town to calculate. But if you fight for the world, the opportunity is often only a moment, and once you miss it, you will never have it again. Li Jing is still too young after all!"
After Li Jing suddenly attacked Youzhou and quickly captured Shunzhou, he immediately reached an agreement with Liu Yue. After the news of his withdrawal from Changping reached Chang'an, everyone was shocked.
According to Li Jing's attitude in the past, Li Jing's actions of withdrawing from Changping this time made the emperor and the princes in Chang'an shocked again. Li Jing's actions were very subtle and no longer took the imperial court seriously.
Subsequently, some spies in Liaodong sent back messages, reporting that Li Jing was indeed making a deal with Liu Yue when he withdrew from Changping. Liu Yue exchanged Huichang County for Changping County after the military pass, and used the population of Changping and other six counties, and finally exchanged for Li Jing withdrew his troops and no longer conquered the confrontation.
There was an uproar all over the morning.
Tian Lingzi sighed, Li Jing had ulterior motives and had a strange intention.
Yu Cong and others were still explaining Li Jing, saying that Li Jing was just waiting for time and then attacking the rebels at the right time.
Zhang Tai, the general of the right guard of the prison, also advised the emperor that it was already a great victory for Li Jing to regain the five counties of Shunzhou. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to easily judge that Li Jingsheng had a strange intention, otherwise it would be a major loss to the court in striking the rebellion.
"Li Jing had just recaptured the five counties, and the court should not be suspicious and should continue to reward and reward. At the same time, he sent someone to issue an order to Li Jing, summoning Li Jing to lead his army from Ziqing to Heji to reinforce the Dongdu. At present, the biggest confidant of the court is no longer the four towns in Hebei, but to kill Huang Chao's army near the Dongdu."
Although Li Yan was dissatisfied with Li Jing's increasingly out of control, he knew at this time that as long as Li Jing did not really rebel for a day, the court would still need Li Jing.
"Immediately issue an edict to reward the soldiers of the Northeastern Army. All the soldiers who attacked Youzhou this time were promoted to the first level, and issued an order to add Li Jing, the King of Qi, and ordered the King of Qi to immediately lead the army to reinforce the Eastern Capital!"
No matter how domineering Li Jing was in the Northeast, the court now urgently needed Li Jing's troops to rescue the court. Li Yan was reluctant to confer the title of Li Jing's name as King, and at this time he finally ordered the title of King Qi.
Not only was he named the King of Yizi, but he also directly named the King of Qi, who ranked third among the King of Yizi.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Yizi King was the prince's honor.
In the order of princes of the Tang Dynasty, the general names of the country originated from the Spring and Autumn Period, with the four titles "Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu" the most noble, because the countries represented by these four titles were the most powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, followed by first-class titles such as "Zhou, Lu, Zhao, Wei, Liang, Yan, Dai, Han, Song, Wu, and Yue". When Emperor Gaozu of Tang was called emperor, his three legitimate sons, Li Jian, became the crown prince, his second legitimate son Li Shimin became the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji became the king of Qi.
The court sent the fastest messenger to Liaodong. In order to ensure the insurance, the court issued three imperial edicts a day to Liaodong.
As a result, after waiting for several days, he did not get the news back. Instead, Huang Chao took another step forward, and the Hebei rebels began to mobilize frequently.
Li Yan, who was anxious, issued another imperial edict, and added the title of King Li Jing and granted tens of thousands of households food.
Three days later, the first batch of messengers sent back to Chang'an and brought Li Jing to accept the order, but there was no reply to express his opinion.
At this time, the Zhongwu army was in chaos, the Hezhong army was in chaos, the Tianping army was in danger, the Taining army was defeated, Huang Chao captured Ruzhou, and the Chengde army and Wei Bo army began to show their ferocious minions and pounced on the surrounding imperial prefectures.
Li Yan almost bit his silver teeth, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and issued two imperial edicts again.
One way is to add the title of King Li Jing, and the other way is to order the Luoyang defenders to retreat to Tongguan.
The royal family added to the Tang Dynasty court's title was called the King of Qi, but only Li Shimin was called the King of Qin. If Zi had already taken out the title of King of Qin and granted it to Li Jing, it can be seen how panicked the court was at this time.
Some people sighed, thinking that once this title was awarded, either Li Jing would succeed in usurping the throne and become the founding emperor of a country. Or, there would be no good ending.
Li Yan issued an order to add the title of King Li Jing to Qin, and the order was passed to Liaodong. Li Jing was shocked and quickly submitted a thank-you speech.
As a result, Li Yan immediately issued several decrees, insisting on granting the title of Li Jing King of Qin, and giving Li Jing's mother the title of Lady of Qi and Li Jing's wife the title of Lady of Lu.
Eighteen imperial edicts were given to Li Jing, King of Qin, and Li Jing sent troops.
"Hahaha..." When the four towns in Hebei and Huang Chao heard that the emperor had issued orders and had already added Li Jing to the King of Qin. When Li Jing still did not send troops, they laughed loudly. From their perspective, Li Jing didn't even want a word of king, and even the most noble title of King of Qin, which represents many meanings, would definitely have a bigger goal. Li Jing obviously wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, but did not want to care about the life and death of the Tang Dynasty. A famous general who had no troops was the best famous general of the Tang Dynasty for them.
"I really don't know whether Li Jing is too smart or too stupid. He missed this opportunity. The opportunity has passed. I will wait and regret it in the future." The rebels from all walks of life were relieved and began to command the army to attack with confidence.
The military leaders of other towns in the Tang Dynasty also smelled a very bad smell. Li Jing, the marshal who held the elite soldiers in his hand, refused to accept the reward from the court at this time. Could it be that he no longer planned to send troops?
Gao Pian from Huainan had already gathered 30,000 troops in Tianchang and was about to go north. Seeing this situation, he began to delay orders to send troops. Gao Pian refused to send troops, and Zhou Gao, Liu Hanhong and others, who were separated by the river, also held troops and refused to move forward.
"Contact with the four towns in Hebei soon. This time, we must unite and destroy the little emperors in Luoyang and Chang'an City first." Huang Chao turned around and looked at the endless army behind him, with a passion in his heart. He couldn't help but recite the poem when he left Chang'an.
When autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after the flowers bloom.
The fragrance array soars into Chang'an, and the city is covered with golden armor.
When facing Huang Chao's envoy, the Four Anti-Japanese Kings of Hebei quickly agreed to the agreement.
The five families joined forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty, first defeating Luoyang, then going to Chang'an, and pulling the emperor off the dragon chaise together. If this country changes its master, everyone will take turns to sit on the emperor's chair.
Although this agreement did not say who should be the main one, nor did it say who would be the emperor in the future to conquer Li Tang. But everyone knew very well that this agreement was just to unify the goals and prevent conflicts between the two sides, and to face the Tang Dynasty in a consistent way. As for who will be in the future, I will talk about this matter in the future.
Anyway, the Tang Dynasty has a very large territory now, and anyone with the ability will fight!
Huang Chao even agreed with the Four Anti-Kings that whoever can conquer Luoyang first will become the alliance of the five families.
Chapter completed!
