------------------------------------------------

In the sixth year of Qianfu, the world was shocked the most. The court and the people were not about Huang Chao entering the Eastern Capital, Luoyang becoming emperor, nor about Li Keyong's rebellion against the battle and rebelling against the Tang Dynasty for the second time, nor was it about Li Tang and Huang Qi's dazzling title of kings.

In this year, what shocked the world the most was the current Tang Dynasty's Marshal of the Kwantung Army and King Qin, and the King of Lanling, who was also the newly-known Emperor of Qi.

In just a few months in the sixth year of Qianfu, Li Jing first sent troops to Youzhou. While the imperial court was attacking Hebei, he easily swallowed the four prefectures of Ji, Tan, Jing and Shun of Lulong Town, and officially entered Hebei and captured the territory of Lulong Town.

Immediately afterwards, an army of 80,000 went south, defeating 200,000 enemies in two battles, and capturing the five prefectures of Moying, Cangdedi, Hebei.

This is not the most shocking thing to the world. What shocked everyone was that less than a month after Li Jing captured the five prefectures of Hebei, there was another series of fierce offensives.

Yichang, Tianping Town, and Taining Town, Li Jing had swallowed three towns in a row, and even swallowed half of Lulong Town, occupying the former Lulong camp, Ping, Ji, Tan, Shun, and Jing, and swallowed Yicheng Town Huazhou and the influence of the army Sizhou.

The three towns of Yichang, Tianping and Taining were swallowed in one fell swoop. In addition, they also swallowed four states. In the beginning of the year, Lulong Ji, Tan, Shun and Jing were captured, and then Mo, Ying, Cang, De and Di were captured in Hebei, and then Tianping Zhenji, Yun, Cao, Pu, Taining Zhenmi, Hai, Yi, and Yan, and influenced the army of Sizhou, Yicheng army of Huazhou, and together. Li Jing had already swallowed the land of the nineteen states in March of the sixth year of Qianfu.

Before this, Li Jing had territories of 30 prefectures and 100 counties, and was strong in power, but it was not shocking. After all, Li Jing's territory, except for the original five prefectures of Zikai, the other twenty-five prefectures were all in Liaodong outside the pass. Although the territory was large, it was a place where most people saw it as a foreign land.

But in just a few months, it's completely different now.

Li Jing suddenly owned the territory of forty-five prefectures. In the pass alone, there were four towns in Ziqing, Taining, Tianping, Yichang, plus Lulong and Yicheng, which were part of the territory of the three towns.

From outside the pass to Hebei and then to Henan, Li Jing's territory was all connected at once. One outside the pass, Liaodong and Liaoxi, plus half Hebei and half Henan, Li Jing's power expanded so quickly that everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

Li Tang owns the world, and now he can actually control half of the country.

Although Huang Chao is known for his 600,000 troops and is in a strong momentum, he is currently controlling only the headquarters of Henan and half of Henan.

Although the four towns in Hebei are strong, only half of Hebei is left.

Li Keyong is strong and only occupied half of Daibei.

Overnight, the heroes and heroes from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty were shocked to find that they had only had a few states to fight to the death. Li Jing seemed to have no effort to have even owned the land of forty-five states at once, occupying the coastline of the east.

Hebei, Zhenzhou.

The four towns of Hebei who had just suffered a big defeat gathered together in Chengdezhenzhou, Han Jian, Wang Jingchong, Liu Yue and Li Quanzhong, all of them were a little dirty. Although Li Jing went south and the disaster went south, they were not happy at all. The extremely strong fighting power shown by Li Jing shocked them deeply.

Although Taining Town and Tianping Town are extremely empty, Li Jing felt a bit of a half-deception when he swallowed these two towns. He relied on the excuse of sending troops to counterattack Luoyang under the banner of Li Tang and Qin King, and using the excuse of sending troops to counterattack Luoyang. However, in any case, it was a fact that Li Jing captured the land of the fifteen states in a blink of an eye.

What's more, although Li Jing led tens of thousands of cavalry to the south, Li Jing now stationed 100,000 troops in Hebei.

Such heavy troops made the four towns unable to sleep or eat, as if they were on their backs.

Moreover, Li Jing implemented an immigration plan in Hebei, implemented scorched earth strategy on the border, and set up an unmanned area. This plan is too cruel. Give Li Jing time and he can truly stabilize the newly captured Hebei area. If Li Jing stabilizes, then Li Jing will let go of the remaining half of Hebei next?

"If Li Jing doesn't die, we will die!" Wang Jingchong said coldly. In the last battle, Chengde Town was the heaviest loss. Yichang Town swallowed, and finally had to vomit out, and even lost its troops and generals.

Liu Yue also nodded. He is now the most saddest of the four towns. Li Keyong seized his four northwest prefectures, Li Jing seized his Mo, Shun, Ji, Tan, and Pingzhuzhou. Now he only has You and Zhuozhou. It can be said that there are wolves in the west and tigers in the east, and they are almost lost. If this continues, Lulong Town will be swallowed up in less than two years.

"However, although Li Jing went south, he left 100,000 troops in Hebei, the main force was stationed in the two states of Moying. Moreover, in spring, there are many rivers, and Li Jing's navy also entered the river to patrol, which is not easy to deal with."

"We have to deal with it even if it is difficult to deal with it. Li Jing is now expanding strongly, with a large stall and a wide distribution of troops. Now is our only opportunity. If we cannot take advantage of this time to counterattack and regain the prefectures of Hebei, then our four towns will be finished." Li Quanzhong also suffered heavy losses, losing Yingzhou and tens of thousands of troops. His strength is now greatly weakened. Li Keyong is in the west and Li Jing is in the east, so life is also sad.

"If Li Jing is not dead, Hebei will never have peace!" Wang Jingchong punched the table with a hatred.

Hedong, Daizhou, Yanmen.

Li Keyong, who was named the Prince of Yanmen by Li Tang, now controls Wu, Xin, Ru, Gui, Wei, Dai and Xin Qizhou. Li Keyong originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of going south to capture Hedong. Even if he could not take over Beijing Taiyuan for a while, he would at least take over Daibei. However, the progress of things was more difficult than expected, so he only took over Wei Daixin's three prefectures. He was subjected to fierce resistance when attacking Datong Yunzhou, and at the same time, it was very unhappy when attacking Taiyuan. As a result, the towns returned to the army. Li Keyong had to retreat.

Fortunately, the court came to the court and appointed him as the governor of Yanmen Town and the Prince of Yanmen County. He didn't need to vomit out the seized territory.

Li Keyong had learned from his first anti-Tang Dynasty, and this time he knew that he would stop when he was good. Seeing that the court was unable to attack him at this time, he used the means of comfort, and immediately beat the snake and rod up and submitted a letter to the court again to express his surrender.

However, although he had already stopped fighting with the towns in Hedong, Li Keyong was actually still waiting for the opportunity.

"Madam. What do you think of the proposals of the four towns in Hebei?" In the Prince's Mansion in Yanmen City, Li Keyong handed the letter submitted by the Hebei envoy to his wife Liu.

After reading the letter carefully, Liu raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

"My husband thinks that the Tang Dynasty can still be preserved today?" Liu asked suddenly.

Li Keyong sneered, "The Tang Dynasty is now about to collapse, and the internal and external affairs are in a difficult situation. No matter how much you hold on, you can't hold on."

Liu Yunniang nodded, agreeing with Li Keyong's opinion very much. "My husband is right. Li Tang is destined to escape this disaster this time. Then my husband thinks that if Li Tang perishes, who in the world will have a better chance to replace Li Tang? Is it Huang Chao, or the four towns in Hebei, or Li Jing, Gao Pian?"

"Huang Chao is just a salt thief, and the four towns in Hebei are just a few old warlords, Gao Pian? I am just an old man. If you talk about it, when it comes to being a hero today, only Li Jing is unfathomable and has the best chance to replace Li Tang. Li Jing has both ambitions and territory and strength, controls the army with one hand and the people's hearts with the other."

Liu Yunniang chuckled and said, "Why did your husband forget one?"

"Who?" Li Keyong couldn't think of anyone in the world who could compare with Li Jing. Although he had always resented Li Jing in his heart, this resentment would not make him unable to see Li Jing's true strength.

"Of course it's your husband. Don't underestimate yourself. Although we are not as powerful as Li Jing for the time being, it's not that we don't have the opportunity to compete with Li Jing. The key is whether we can seize the opportunity." Liu Yunniang analyzed calmly.

Li Keyong's breathing became a little rapid. He had already had a wish, which was to one day establish a Shatuo Kingdom.

"We are too far away from Li Jing!" Li Keyong sighed. Although he now has the seven states, his strength is actually not as strong as the Shatuo tribe before the first rebellion against the Tang Dynasty. At the time when he was defeated by Li Jing, he left a lot of shadow in Li Keyong's heart. What's more, Li Jing's strength is indeed too huge, with 45 states and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

"It's nothing for the time being. We can join forces with other forces to deal with Li Jing. This proposal is good for the four towns in Hebei. If you combine the weak and attack the strong, Li Jing is strong, but it is not invincible. We unite other forces to deal with Li Jing together. As long as we can defeat Li Jing, we can still make a difference in this upcoming troubled times." Liu knew that his husband was not a person who was willing to be ordinary, so he tried his best to plan for him.

"The four towns in Hebei are just defeated generals under Li Jing. Why join forces with them? It's better for us to swallow them directly and fight against Li Jing." Li Ke stroked his face with his hand, and his one-eyed eyes shone with a terrifying glow.

"A husband cannot do it. If you unite, you will be strong, and if you divide, you will be weak. If we unite, we may not be Li Jing's opponents. If we fight each other, it is even more impossible to deal with Li Jing. You should not be in a hurry to deal with Li Jing. If you are not willing to bear it, you will be in trouble. You must make plans for a long time and take a slow plan."

Li Keyong smiled at Liu, "Then I heard from my wife. The wife said we will do what we should do."

"First of all, reply to the four towns in Hebei and promise to secretly enter into an alliance with them to deal with Li Jing together." Liu's eyes also revealed a sense of shrewdness, "The four towns in Hebei alone cannot deal with Li Jing, we have to find more allies. Li Jing's troops are now pulled to Hebei and Henan, and the old nest Liaodong is empty. We should contact Li Jing's great enemy in Liaodong, Khitan, and set fire directly in his backyard."

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away." Li Keyong obeyed Liu's words.

"Wait, I'll send someone to Huainan to contact Gao Qianli, the prince of Xiabohai. He has a bad relationship with Li Jing. Now Li Jing has occupied the Taining Army and occupied Sizhou, which is the influence army. He has fought to the north bank of the Huaihe River and across the river from Gao Pian's Huainan Town. I'm afraid that Prince Gao will feel uncomfortable. If we win him over to deal with Li Jing together, I'm afraid he will be willing to join."
