Fengxiang Jiedushi Li Maozhen received three imperial edicts, accusing him of not being satisfied with his acquisition of Fengzhou and Xingzhou, and ordered him to continue to perform his duties as recruiting deputy envoys and retaliate against Yang Shouliang's army.

An imperial edict was appointed as the deputy envoy of his son Xichuan Jiedu, who was re-elected by Wei Zhaodu.

An imperial edict once again established the Longjian Jiedushi, and ruled Lizhou, Jianzhou, Mianzhou, Longzhou and Wenzhou. The Longjian Jiedushi was recommended by Li Maozhen.

With two imperial edicts, Li Maozhen occupied the land and was divided into three Jiedu governors.

Li Maozhen was not satisfied with the appointment of the Xichuan Jiedushi, but could only accept it temporarily. He served as the Longjian Jiedushi himself, and he also served as the Longyou Jiedushi, who served as the three Jiedushi at once.

With the legal recognition of the court, Li Maozhen was in charge of the occupying and managing the occupied land. He ordered the military force to guard Jianzhou, so that the military force that went south could pass through Jianmen Pass, and ordered Xichuan to send 20,000 troops to cooperate with the imperial court's military force to take the blame.

The Jialing River delivered the letters along the river, and Wei Fufeng received the order five days later. After reading the order, he threw them on the case, ignored them at all, and was unwilling to act like a gesture to deal with them.

Wei Fufeng did not send troops, but the Wutai Jiedu, who occupied Zhongzhou, sent troops and five thousand troops went north to participate in the war.

In fact, it is to get benefits. The biggest advantage is that prisoners are captives. In the era of cold weapons, population is one of the fundamentals of strength.

Yang Shouliang's army, who besieged Santai County, suddenly fell into a grudge. The message of being dismissed from office was spread among the army. The news of several large armies attacking also spread, and the morale of the army fell into panic and turmoil.

Before the imperial military power entered Santai County, the fact that the generals and soldiers rebelled appeared.

Most of the backbone of Yang Shouliang's army came from the Shence Army and were military officers who were Yang Fugong's outgoing military service. The purpose was to strengthen the military strength of Xingyuan Mansion, and the other was to restrain Yang Shouliang.

Yang Fugong and Yang Shouliang were dismissed. Generals and officials from the Shence Army had their own unique intentions. They naturally continued to serve the court. Many generals and officials secretly sent people to the court to recruit envoys, one was to find out the truth, and the other was to get a supporter.

In just three days, Yang Shouliang's army rebelled over 20,000 troops. Wei Fufeng, who was in Rongzhou, actually came to ask for his envoy to join the army, and marched to Sima Li Ziqi's envoy.

Li Ziqi was also a general of the Shence Army and had a certain military power in Yang Shouliang's army. However, most of the military power fell into Jinzhou, and dozens of backbone generals were able to return to Xingyuan Prefecture.

Yang Shouliang's army advanced southward to attack the Dongchuan Army and recruited a large number of strong men to train troops for the regiment.

Li Ziqi and his generals received ten thousand regiments of training. Li Ziqi's envoy said that he was grateful to Wei Fufeng for his gratitude for releasing animals.

Li Ziqi's request surprised Wei Fufeng, and he was considered to be unintentional instigation to plant the willows.

After considering it, Wei Fufeng asked Li Ziqi to surrender to the Tianwei Army envoy Li Shunjie, saying that Li Shunjie might seize Kuizhou and Guizhou.

The messenger left, and Wei Fufeng did not let Li Ziqi come directly to vote.

First, Li Shunjie participated in the entry into Xingyuan Mansion. His grandfather mentioned in his letter to encourage Li Shunjie, and Wei Fufeng made a prejudice plan.

Second, Wei Fufeng's wait-and-see attitude was not to attract too much attention. It was normal to seize Rongzhou and Jiazhou in the chaos of Bashu, but it was abnormal without any progress.

Li Ziqi brought 10,000 soldiers to vote, which would inevitably cause a sensation. The court and the vassals would pay attention to southern Sichuan with vigilance.

Wei Fufeng had learned about it in Jinzhou and Chang'an. The people of the two places still had the impression of southern Sichuan in the unlivable barren land, and they were very disdainful.

Subjectively, Wei Fufeng is certainly greedy

The fertile land of the Chengdu Plain, objectively, he needs to rectify the internal affairs, win over the hearts of refugees, train troops and accumulate grain, and build cities and promote business.

Xichuan is a treasure land, but there are too many big figures staring at it. There are tigers in the imperial court and vassal states inside, and there are threats from the Tubo and Qiang tribes (the Maozhou area, the Dangxiang people) outside. It takes a lot of troops to defend it.

Wei Fufeng believes that instead of advancing to Xichuan, it is better to develop into the lower reaches of the river.

Li Ziqi's envoy returned to Zizhou and handed Li Ziqi a document serving as commander. Wei Fufeng wrote in front of the envoy and stamped the seal of the Southern Sichuan Jiedushi.

The envoy reported on the survival status of the military and civilians, as well as military system and governance that he had seen with his own eyes.

After hearing this, Li Ziqi became more determined to join Wei Fufeng. With Wei Fufeng's appointment document, he would not be criticized for being a villain in the future.

Li Ziqi ordered the envoy to meet Li Shunjie, who was in the court's military power.

When the envoy saw Li Shunjie, he said that Li Ziqi admired Li Shunjie's bravery, and knew that Li Shunjie was the governor of Zhenjiang, so he asked to be demoted to the judge of the governor.

Li Shunjie was naturally happy. He knew that Li Ziqi was also from the Shence Army and was not suspected of being cheated. He agreed to Li Ziqi's surrender and served as the judge of the Jiedushi, and his military strength became the military strength of the Zhenjiang Jiedushi.

After being accepted by Li Shunjie, Li Ziqi secretly instigated other generals from the Shence Army and obtained an alliance of 5,000 troops.

The general who was born in the Shence Army surrendered to Li Shunjie, which was psychologically acceptable, and no one was willing to surrender to the unfamiliar Sichuan Army.

As a result, before the confrontation started, Yang Shouliang's army betrayed half of it, either openly or secretly.

Yang Shouliang was frightened and frightened, and knew that he could not continue to stay in Dongchuan. He hurriedly drove south, intending to cross the downstream Jialing River, return to the Shannan West Road area, and then headed north to return to Xingyuan Prefecture.

On the way to the expedition, Yang Shouliang's adopted son Yang Zishi actually led 20,000 troops to Jianzhou and surrendered to Fengxiang's army.

Yang Zishi, who surrendered to Fengxiang Army, was the commander who once led his army to enter Yuzhou in southern Sichuan. He was very good at changing his powers and seeking profits and avoiding harm.

Yang Zishi's betrayal caused Yang Shouliang's army to become more turbulent, and the army continued to escape along the way.

Li Ziqi also wanted to leave, but he had no choice but to be in Yang Shouliang's central army. He could only secretly order his subordinates to leave first, and respond to Yang Shouliang with a look of shock and anger.

But when crossing the Jialing River, Li Ziqi and the Guards got the opportunity to escape on a boat in the river.

Li Ziqi returned to the west bank of Jialing River downstream, looking at the invisible Yang Shouliang's military force across the river, smiling bitterly, and feeling a desolate mood of planting trees and scattering money.

Li Ziqi did not take the initiative to seek refuge with Li Shunjie, but found a place to hide it. He did not go to see Li Shunjie until the imperial army pursued him.

Li Shunjie was just happy, and he reduced nearly 20,000 troops along the way, and became the Zhenjiang Jiedu Army legitimately.

Although Sun Kui was recruiting envoys, he had no right to interfere with Li Shunjie's acceptance of the surrender.

Seeing Li Ziqi coming, Li Shunjie looked like a respectful and polite person, and helped Li Ziqi up to worship.

Li Ziqi was originally a marching Sima under the command of the Jiedushi. He could obtain the position of marching Sima, but Wei Fufeng instructed him to seek a judge.

Li Ziqi understood Wei Fufeng's intention, and seeking low will reduce suspicion. When he marches at Sima, he was afraid that Li Shunjie would find an opportunity to kill. The judge generally did not lead the army, but he had a lot of real power.

......

Yang Shouliang crossed the river and fled back to the Bazhong area of ​​Shannan West Road. There was only 10,000 troops left, so he could only

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He went north with hatred and returned to Xingyuan Prefecture along the Bazhong Mi Cang Road.

The imperial coalition forces could not find ships on the west bank of the Jialing River. The Fengxiang Army, Tongguan Army, Zhenjiang Army, Wutai Army and Sun Kui's court troops were all busy reorganizing the military forces of the affiliated or captured, and they had no intention of pursuing them.

The governor of the Dongchuan Army still closed the city gate, worried that the evil wolf would go away and the tiger would come. Until Sun Kui only brought a hundred guards to him and opened the city gate to welcome the envoy.

The coalition forces stayed in Dongchuan for five days, and Sun Kui urged the troops to set off to pursue Yang Shouliang's army.

The Tongguan army walked the fastest, with the 4,000 troops incorporated into the army, followed by the Wutai army, then the imperial army, the Zhenjiang army and the Fengxiang army.

The Fengxiang army only followed three thousand, and the other forces returned to Xichuan.

After leaving Jianzhou, Wutai's army escaped and returned to Zhongzhou under his command. This time, he obtained more than 2,000 prisoners and was unwilling to go far to attack Xingyuan Prefecture.

Li Shunjie was unwilling to return to the army to attack Xingyuan Mansion, and wanted to lead his troops to the Three Gorges Kuizhou to collect management.

How could Sun Kui agree? He urged Li Shunjie to go north with righteous words and promised that as long as he took down Xingyuan Mansion, he would send troops to help Li Shunjie take over Kuizhou.

After hearing this, Li Shunjie felt that it was OK, but he was still willing to be an official in Chang'an City for a long time.

The 70,000 coalition forces were in a mighty state and headed north to Xingyuan Prefecture.

Yang Shouliang fled back to Xingyuan Prefecture and discussed with Yang Fugong and his confidants. He agreed that Xingyuan Prefecture would not last long, so he gave up Xingyuan Prefecture and led 30,000 soldiers and civilians to the north of Ziwu Road and defected to the Hedong Jiedushi Li Keyong.

The coalition forces arrived at Xingyuan Prefecture and easily captured the city. Sun Kui was very regretful and discussed with Li Shunjie to pursue Yang Shouliang's army first.

Li Shunjie was willing to refute Sun Kui. Yang Shouliang fled north through Ziwu Road, and must have surrendered to the Hedong Jiedushi. If he pursued the Yellow River, it might attract hostility from the Hedong Army. How could he explain to His Majesty at that time?

Sun Kui had no choice but to let the march Sima Wang Yan lead 20,000 troops and follow Li Shunjie to the south again. He stayed in Xingyuan Prefecture for the aftermath and accepted the court.

The most important thing in the report was to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with Gu Yanhui, the governor of Dongchuan.

Li Shunjie led nearly 50,000 troops and sent people to Yuzhou to borrow troops from the south of Micang Road during the march.

The main reason is that although the number of military personnel is large, the military equipment is very poor, and in Li Shunjie's eyes, it is a mob.

Wei Fufeng did not meet the envoy of Li Shunjie, but asked Lao Feng to receive him, and he could borrow 20,000 troops. There was only one condition, and trade was allowed and military forces in southern Sichuan were allowed to pass through Kuizhou.

When the envoy returned, Li Shunjie agreed, so Yuzhou sent 20,000 troops.

Twenty thousand military spearmen were commanded by commander Zhao Yidou to Quzhou, and walked through Quzhou to Tongzhou to meet with Li Shunjie's military power.

When Li Shunjie saw the appearance of the Southern Sichuan Army, he felt very displeased. He thought no wonder he dared not send troops to Dongchuan to participate in the war. The Southern Sichuan Army lacked military preparations and could only rest assured to the border barbarians.

The 70,000 army entered Kaizhou in a mighty manner. Kaizhou was under the rule of Wutai Jiedu, but the Wutai Jiedu, who had not been informed, could only watch the army pass by with caution.

After passing Kaizhou, Kuizhou was there, and a 70,000 army headed straight to Yun'an County.

The governor of Jingnan, Cheng Yi, stationed 20,000 troops in Kuizhou, showing his importance to Kuizhou. He stationed 5,000 troops in Yanjing, Yun'an, and Kuizhou was under 15,000 troops in Fengjie County.

Faced with the attack of 70,000 troops, the town guarding the Yanjing in Yun'an will decide to retreat.

Li Shunjie's army seized Yun'an County without drinking blood, and the army was stationed, and ordered his subordinates to take over Yun'an County.
