The war in the pass was underway, and the Hedong and Hezhong coalition forces were unstoppable. Without the alliance of Fengxiang Army, the Bining Army could not fight.

In early November, the coalition forces came to the city of Binzhou.

Wang Xingyu sent an envoy to surrender, expressing his willingness to be a vassal of the Hedong Army.

The words said: "The emperor was displaced and killed Li Xi were all led by Li Maozhen. He was just waving the flag and shouting. He was willing to fight with the Hedong Army to attack the Fengxiang Army and make the Pass a Hedong Army force."

Li Keyong had already decided not to take the pass, and refuted with righteousness: "Wang Shangfu bullied the court and killed the prime minister without any reason. The facts are clear and there is no doubt that our army was ordered to serve the king and seek rebellion. How could we join the rebels? If we know each other, we should go out of the city and be bound to Chang'an to apologize to the emperor."

Wang Xingyu knew that he was tied to Chang'an, and the emperor would never forgive him. He could only defend the lonely city, hoping that Li Maozhen, a Fengxiang army, could rescue him.

Three days later, the Hedong Army launched a fierce siege.

Ten days later, the Bining army suffered heavy losses, the morale of the army was sluggish, and there were signs of betrayal. Many generals and officials complained that Wang Xingyu was stupid.

Wang Xingyu was afraid of his subordinates' betrayal. In despair, he fled with his family and some of his confidants and defected to the west to the Dangxiang people.

The Hedong Army occupied Binzhou and plundered and looted.

Li Keyong did not divide his troops to chase Wang Xingyu. It was a dog that was stranded. It was not important to kill or not. Li Keyong sent troops to the pass for his own benefit.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xingyu, who was fleeing west, was killed by his subordinates and sent back to the Hedong Army.

Li Keyong was unaware of the surprise and sent him to Chang'an, saying that he did not dare to take credit for his unsuccessful achievements without killing the Hedong Army.

When the Hedong Army was approaching Binzhou, the Fengxiang Army also dispatched, went north to take over Jingzhou, surrendered the Dangxiang forces entrenched in Yuanzhou, and obtained half of the territory of the Binning Army, and then waited and watched.

After the Hedong Army captured Binzhou, it began to migrate to Hedong with young and strong people.

Binzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Jing River and north of the Wei River. It has been a treasure land where grain is abundant in the pass since ancient times.

A war between the Hedong Army carried out more than 30,000 young men, women and children, which greatly damaged the vitality of Binzhou, causing the countryside to be desolate and could not be restored for a long time.

The Hedong Army stationed in Binzhou, Weibei, and refused to leave, which made the atmosphere of Chang'an City in Weinan shrouded in haze.

Zhaozong first gave Li Keyong the title of King Jin, and inherited the title of Li Yuzhu as Princess Guangde, and was appointed as the first-rank tutor of the official position of Gaiyou. Li Keyong's brothers and sons were all given titles.

Li Keyong thanked him, but he just didn't say when he would return to Hedong.

Zhaozong had no choice but to give gold and pearls rewards, hoping that Li Keyong would leave the pass as soon as possible. Zhaozong was afraid that Li Keyong would be despised and afraid that he would be held hostage to the emperor.

This time, Li Keyong did not personally receive the edict, but Gai Yu and Li Hanzhi came forward.

Li Hanzhi was wearing armor covered with dark blood, and the smell of blood scattered throughout his body was enough to make ordinary people frightened.

As soon as the eunuch who was delivering the order finished, Li Hanzhi slapped the table suddenly and cursed: "Goucai, I am fighting to the death in the city. You just use these things that are not eaten. I am a loyal minister. Do you know that they should be the high-ranking official who protects the emperor."

The eunuch took two steps back in fear and responded: "Sir, the young ones come by the order and cannot be decided. These are the limits that the court can reward."

"Farting, I am a great achievement in siege. What should I get? The emperor would not know, how should I reward me?" Li Hanzhi said with a cannibalistic look.

"I know, I'll reply to Your Majesty." The eunuch replied in horror, turned around and ran out.

As soon as the eunuch left, Li Hanzhi immediately changed his appearance and smiled at Gai Yu, "Tao Fu Gai, is it okay?"

Gai Yu smiled and said, "It's very good."

Li Hanzhi said inconsolably: "Since the King of Jin does not intend to occupy Binzhou, why bother to make a fuss?"

"I can't fully understand the thoughts of King Jin. I think it is to shock the emperor and avoid the emperor's courage to issue any imperial edicts against King Jin in the future." Gai Yu replied.

Li Hanzhi nodded and said, "Tao Taifu, I have a request to say it."

"General Li said it clearly." Gai Yu responded.

Li Han's words: "The Taifu, since Heyang fell, he belonged to King Jin, and has been in Zezhou (Shanxi) for many years.

Over the years, a certain military has been exhausted and older, and is no longer young and strong. A certain person hopes that the King of Jin will be kind and the Grand Tutor will be sympathetic to change the local area and be in a different place to recuperate. He will retire within one or two years and live a life of life."

Gai Yu heard it clearly that Li Hanzhi was not satisfied with the poverty of Zezhou and wanted to change to a wealthy place to become an official.

Gai Yu thought about it and said, "I will tell the King of Jin, but now there is nothing to be fat. Please be patient."

"Hehe, I'm patient, thank you Grand Tutor." Li Hanzhi bowed and smiled.

......

When the eunuch returned, Xiang Zhaozong reported that the Hedong Army wanted to serve in Binzhou.

Zhaozong was frightened and became increasingly afraid to let the Hedong Army stay in the pass. He sent high-ranking officials and court officials to serve as envoys, asking the Hedong Army to return to the town.

Li Keyong's stay was mainly to capture the population and transport profits to gain time, and secondly, to intimidate the emperor, so that the emperor would not dare to openly hostile in the future.

In mid-December, the Hedong Army withdrew from the pass.

The Fengxiang army immediately occupied Binzhou, Qingzhou, and Ningzhou, forming a confrontation with Fangzhou and Fuzhou, and Tongshan continued to stay in Fangzhou.

Soon, the imperial court issued an order, and Tongzhou was restored to the reign of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the reign of the Fufang Jiedushi was Fuzhou, Fangzhou, Danzhou and Yanzhou.

Tongshan was fully alert to Fengxiang's army and could only allow Tongzhou to be taken over by the imperial court.

......

When the Hedong Army was still in the pass, Wei Fufeng arrived at Jiangling Prefecture.

On the way, he stayed in Changsha Prefecture for six days. One was to patrol military and political affairs, get close to his subordinates, and the other was to accompany Jiuniang and two butterfly slaves.

After Wei Fufeng discussed with Gan Fengchi, Gan Fengchi was willing to go to Xichuan to guard Chengdu.

Wei Fufeng was transferred to the Wuling Capital Defense Commander Tian Wen, and served as the Xiangtan Capital Defense Commander, and was in charge of military affairs centered on Changsha Prefecture.

He was transferred to commander Han Quan and took over as Wulingdu Defense Envoy.

......

Wei Fufeng walked into the General's Mansion, and Lin Qingxue greeted him and looked at each other warmly.

At the meeting of Amber, Lin Qingxue smiled and pulled Amber's jade hand, said a few words of self-containedness, and then went to the back house together.

Leading to the entrance of Li Yuzhu's house, Lin Qingxue and Humber left voluntarily.

Wei Fufeng walked into the yard and saw many servants standing respectfully. When he saw Xiulan standing at the door of the main room, he smiled and walked over.

"The master is back." Xiulan's beautiful eyes were gentle and affectionate, but her words and deeds were restrained.

"I'm back." Wei Fufeng responded gently, blinking with a smile.

Xiulan turned sideways and said respectfully: "Master, please come in."

Wei Fufeng stepped into the house, and his left hand was walking by, touching Xiulan's round buttocks.

Xiulan paused, lowered her head and followed her into the house. When she entered the house, she saw Chunhong and her servants.

"Master, Miss is in the house." Chunhong said respectfully.

Wei Fufeng smiled and nodded, walked into the inner room, and saw Li Yuzhu wearing a loose white dress, holding her belly with her hands, her hair hanging down, and a beautiful face, quiet and unpredictable.

Wei Fufeng stopped and said funny: "Yuzhu, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking forward to it. It took me so long to come back." Li Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and replied.

"Don't be wronged, I am a heart-to-becoming, but I am not a migratory bird in the sky." Wei Fufeng smiled and walked over to help Li Yuzhu, walked to the brocade bed to sit down.

Li Yuzhu looked up at Wei Fufeng and asked, "Are you angry?"

Wei Fufeng replied without hesitation: "Of course he is angry, but as a prince, he should know what the precepts of the weak is. Now it is similar to the Warring States Period. If you suffer a loss and hate the queen who intermarries, that is the idea of ​​an incompetent person."

"So, in Langjun's heart, Hedong Army is not a relative, but a hostile one?" Li Yuzhu asked.

"Your statement is inappropriate. In the vassal states, brothers attack and kill for the sake of power. Moreover, the Hedong Army and the Southern Sichuan Army are two forces. For example, in the future, if your brother insists on taking over Shuofang, would you be willing?" Wei Fufeng retorted.

Li Yuzhu said sadly: "I am very worried that my husband will meet the Hedong army in the future."

Wei Fufeng frowned and said, "Yuzhu, you once said that in a hundred years, our sons' affairs will depend on their own abilities. Now I will say that your concerns will be meaningless if your father-in-law comes a hundred years later."

Li Yuzhu said, "But my husband remembers clearly that if my father is here, my husband will not turn against him. Would he?"

Wei Fufeng replied: "No, don't misinterpret what it means to turn against others. The emperor loses his deer, and the heroes in the world will chase him. My bottom line is to be in the southwest. But one day, the power is enough to crush other heroes, should I continue to respect the Hedong Army?

On the contrary, after the Hedong Army destroyed the Xuanwu Army, the army would inevitably go south to seek unification. At that time, unless I acted as an ado, I would not be tolerated by the Hedong Army."

"A man is also the great ambition to rule the world." Li Yuzhu sighed.

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "I am not that arrogant. The Anshi Rebellion has occurred for more than a hundred years. Even if the Tang Dynasty's court is destroyed, the final unification of the world will not last ten years. It will be realized in twenty years. Even if I die, the world will still be divided."

Li Yuzhu nodded and suddenly asked, "Mr. Lang believes that the Xuanwu Army and the Hedong Army will win in the end?"

Wei Fufeng smiled bitterly and said, "The theory of victory or defeat has too many factors that affect it. Even a small thing can control success or failure. It makes people laugh at the rash words."

"I want to hear it, my husband said." Li Yuzhu smiled.

Wei Fufeng was helpless and said, "I can only say that on the surface, Zhu Wen of Xuanwu Army was similar to Liu Bang, and his father-in-law was similar to Xiang Yu."

Li Yuzhu frowned, and Wei Fufeng said again: "But in terms of the situation, Zhu Wen is in an unfavorable place. Although the Central Plains are rich in resources, they are also a place for four battles. Xuanwu Army and Huainan Army are not friendly, they are incompatible with the Hedong Army, and they do not violate each other with the Weibo Jiedushi, one of the three towns of Heshuo."

Li Yuzhu nodded and asked, "Langjun, will Xuanwu Army have a good relationship with the Huainan Army?"

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Everything is possible. It will be my nightmare to make peace with the Xuanwu army and the Huainan army."

Li Yuzhu whispered: "If Xuanwu Army goes south, the Hedong Army will inevitably send troops to restrain it, and the Langjun only needs to fight against the Huainan Army."
