Late Tang

"Longweipi was defeated, and the puppet Qi has revealed its tendency to be strong on the outside and dry on the inside. This group of grass bandits who are rampant in the world have passed their extremely short-term rise, and have begun to slide into the abyss of destruction with no power to change. Huang Chao, just a The local dog, however, wants to plot rebellion and rebellion, and just seeks his own death." Standing behind Li Jing, Zhang Chengye said with a smile after receiving the emperor's commendation edict from the special angel sent by Chengdu.

The envoy from Chengdu was Zhang Tai's other adopted son, Zhang Cheng'an, who was also Zhang Chengzong's adopted brother.He was very happy to get the mission to deliver the decree to Yanjing.In front of Li Jing, he didn't have the slightest domineering attitude of the emperor's close servant, but he was polite and cautious everywhere, which made Li Jing very satisfied, and he had the idea of ​​letting him stay.

Zhang Chengan nodded repeatedly and said: "Since the great victory at Longweipi, in Mengzhou, the Heyang Jiedu envoy of the puppet Qi, when he heard the news of the defeat of the puppet Qi, immediately sent his loyalty to the emperor in Chengdu. The flag changed, and he became the Heyang Jiedu envoy of the Tang Dynasty again."

Li Jing and Zhuge Shuang were actually acquaintances. When Li Keyong was first attacked in the Daibei War, Zhuge Shuang was the governor of Mengzhou in Heyang Town, and he participated in the attack on Li Keyong.But this guy is a fool and likes to watch the wind sway.After pacifying Li Keyong, the imperial court named him Xia Huan Jiedu Envoy based on meritorious service, and asked Xia Huan Jiedu Envoy Li Sigong to serve as Zhenwu Jiedu Envoy. As a result, Zhuge Shuang happily took Yabing to take up the post, but Li Sigong refused. transfer.Although Zhuge Shuang and Li Sigong had just beaten Li Keyong side by side, his strength was far inferior to Li Sigong, the emperor of Xiazhou.He wanted to go back to Mengzhou, but the governor of Mengzhou already had someone.

Later, the imperial court had no choice but to arrange for him to be the Zhenwu Jiedu envoy. As a result, Zhenwu Jiedu envoy Helian Duo also refused to be transferred when he saw Li Sigong's refusal to be transferred by the imperial court.Zhuge Shuang made a big circle, and in the end, not only did he not become Jiedushi, but he lost his territory.

In a fit of rage, he returned to his fierce nature when he joined the Xuzhou rebels, and simply defected to Huang Chao.

Huang Chao was also generous, and immediately appointed him as the Jiedu envoy of Heyang, and sent troops to escort him to the post, helping him drive away his old boss.

However, people are unlucky enough to drink cold water and get stuffed between their teeth. Finally, he became the Jiedushi of Heyang, but after a short time, the neighbor Weibo Jiedushi led the attack again, and suddenly lost half of Heyang Town. Scared Had to flee all the way to Luoyang.Fortunately, Han Jian, the envoy of the Wei Bo Festival, didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly. He had just fought halfway through Heyang Town, then went to fight Zhaoyi Town, grabbed a vote in Zhaoyi Town, and immediately crossed the Yellow River to fight Tianping Town.In the end, Yu Guan, who was in Tianping Town, called his son-in-law Li Jing, the king of Qin, to send troops to help, and beat Han Jian so badly that he almost lost his life.

Relying on this opportunity, Zhuge Shuang finally regained Heyang.But as soon as he returned to Heyang, it was reported that Qi State Taiwei Shangrang was defeated by the Guanzhong Allied Forces at Longweipi. Thinking that there were still two major Allied Forces mobilizing in Hedong and Henan, Zhuge Shuang thought about it, and immediately acted accordingly and announced Change the banner and flag, and return to the Tang Dynasty anyway.

But in Li Jing's eyes, Zhuge Shuang is just a cunning little warlord in troubled times.I didn't have a good impression of him, and I didn't take him seriously.Anyway, in history, this scumbag didn't stay active for long, and then was replaced by his old subordinate Li Hanzhi.However, the current situation and history have changed a lot. Whether Zhuge Shuang can continue to keep his position as the commander-in-chief who did not last long is really two things to say.

"In Xuzhou, the Zhongwu Jiedu envoy Zhou Ji, who now only owns one state in Xuzhou, has already returned to the Tang Dynasty under the persuasion of Yang Fuguang, the capital supervisor, and immediately after the battle, he and Yang Fuguang's adopted son Yang Shouliang made a surprise attack The post house killed all the envoys of the puppet Qi who lived in it, and showed their loyalty to the court. Not only that, Zhou Ji also dispatched [-] troops to Yang Fuguang's command."

Li Jing didn't care about Zhuge Shuang and Zhou Ji.But he was very concerned about a famous eunuch in the late Tang Dynasty.

Although, at present, Yang Fuguang can only rank outside the top four among the powerful eunuchs in the imperial court, and may even be ranked behind Zhang Chengye, the governor of the Qin Dynasty, but in history, Yang Fuguang is a very legendary eunuch.In terms of positive evaluation, in the late Tang Dynasty, only Zhang Chengye, who was originally Li Keyong's military supervisor in history, can be compared with him.But in terms of ability, especially the ability to lead the army, Yang Fuguang can really rank first.

This eunuch who has been serving as the military envoy of the military and horse capital of the world is indeed not simple.

According to the latest information obtained by Li Jing, not only the Zhongwu Jiedu envoy Zhou Ji worshiped under his sect, but also the other two towns separated from Zhongwu Town, Fengguo Town Qin Zongquan, and Zhongguo Town Lu Yanhong all voted under his sect.Zhou Ji dispatched 6000 troops to Yang Fuguang's command, Qin Zongquan dispatched 4000 troops, Lu Yanhong also dispatched [-] troops, and Yang Fuguang himself recruited [-] troops. He also actually controlled a force of [-] troops.

Yang Fuguang rebuilt Cui Anqian's Eight Zhongwu Capitals with 3000 soldiers and horses, and each increased to [-] soldiers. Wang Jian and Han Jian, the original Zhongwu Eight Capitals, are now in this army and have become Yang Fuguang's important generals , Served as a command envoy.

Yang Fuguang has a background and ability, and now he holds an important position and holds an elite army. He is indeed a great eunuch.

In Binzhou, Tongsai town general Zhu Mei launched a mutiny and killed Wang Mei, the Jiedu envoy sent by Huang Chao.Zhu Mei's reputation was too low, so she recommended Li Chonggu as Binning Jiedu envoy, and herself as the deputy envoy to hold real power.

In addition, affected by the battle of Longweipi, all the feudal towns that had once surrendered to the puppet Qi have all rebelled against Qi and re-declared their allegiance to the Tang Dynasty.Among them, more than half of the feudal towns also submitted orders to Li Jing, the king of Qin, the general of the world's military and horses.

"The Son of Heaven has just issued an edict to confer the title of Yang Fugong the King of Hanoi, the General of the Jinwu Guard, the Lieutenant of the Left Army of Shence, the Envoy of the Privy Council, and the title of Yang Fuguang the King of the Hongnong County, the Deputy Envoy of the Tenth Army and the Sixteenth Guard Guanjun, and the Capital of the World's Soldiers and Horses. Supervising Army Envoy, Xuanwei North Academy Envoy." Zhang Chengan conveyed to Li Jing the message that Zhang Tai asked him to carry. "The righteous father said that the emperor seems to be secretly dissatisfied with Brother Tian Lingzi, and he also seems to have scruples about King Qin. Now he trusts Brother Yang Fugong very much."

Li Jing nodded. As the emperor got older, he would definitely become more and more dissatisfied with being a puppet controlled by eunuchs.But he has no military power in his hands, and there are not many people he can trust.In the end, it can only follow the old path of the emperors of Li and Tang, reuse eunuchs, use eunuchs to make eunuchs, and use eunuchs to replace the emperor with military power.

It's easy to guess Li Xuan's thoughts. He was dissatisfied with Tian Lingzi's brothers' domination and control, and also feared that Li Jing's feudal town would become powerful. In the end, he chose Yang Fugong and his brothers, hoping to use Yang Fuguang's hand to gain military power and increase the right to speak.I have to say that although Li Xuan is young, he still has a good vision.

Yang Fuguang's two brothers, one inside and one outside, are the most suitable for his plan.

"Does the Son of Heaven have any specific plans?" Li Jing asked. Although Yang Fuguang had [-] troops and the support of the three towns of Zhongwu, it was not enough.

"Father Yi heard some news that Yang Fuguang has won over the three towns of Zhongwu, as well as Hezhong Town and Yanmen Town. It is said that there are some more detailed plans, but we cannot know."

Li Jing was a little surprised to hear the names of Hezhong Town and Yanmen Town.Hezhong Town is now under the control of Wang Chongrong, a military leader who came to power by mutiny, first voted for Huangchao, and then turned anyway.It was normal for him to seek refuge with Yang Fuguang. After all, he, He Zhongjie, was too handsome. He needed the help of brothers like Yang Fuguang to stabilize his position.But in Yanmen Town, this is a bit strange.

"When did Li Siyuan hook up with the Yang brothers?"

"It's not Li Siyuan."

"Yanmen Town is now controlled by Li Siyuan, isn't it Li Siyuan, could it be Li Sizhao?" Li Jing was even more puzzled now.

Zhang Chengan shook his head, "The Shatuo Army in Yanmen Town is of course controlled by Li Keyong."

"Li Keyong? This is impossible!" Gai Yu exclaimed. "Li Keyong's bones have been fished back long ago. Why is he dead and resurrected now? This result is the most difficult for him to accept. Li Keyong used to be his master, and he has been fighting with Li Keyong for several years. It's not easy to be in the middle. Li Keyong's death is a kind of relief for him. For Gai Yu, the Staff Council is currently formulating a plan against the Shatuo people, and the core is to use Li Keyong Li Keyong's death caused internal strife between Yanmen Town led by Li Siyuan and Datong Town led by Li Sizhao. In the end, the Qin Fan reaped the benefits. The plan might be worthless."

On the contrary, Li Jing was not surprised when he heard that Li Keyong was still alive.After all, the last time I only saw a rotting corpse, it was only because the corpse was similar to Li Keyong's figure, and one eye was blind.However, he always felt that Li Ke would not die so easily with this guy. After all, he was a guy who went to the battlefield at the age of 12 and became a catcher at the age of 14. How could he die so easily.

Moreover, it is normal to say that Li Keyong and Yang Fugong are secretly plotting some kind of plan.Because when Shatuo was defeated and Li Guochang was almost beheaded, he finally took refuge in Yang Fugong, who he met when he suppressed the Xuzhou Rebellion, and finally saved his life.

It's not surprising that Li Keyong is getting involved with them again now.

If Li Keyong is really still alive, it will be a big trouble for Li Jing.This, he had to admit.

Yang Fugong was good at intrigue in the palace, Yang Fuguang was good at lobbying for alliances, Li Keyong was brave and capable of fighting, and Wang Chongrong, Qin Zongquan, Wang Jian, and Han Jian were all hard roles in history.Now these people are converging, which is a red flag.

And he immediately thought of another question.

That is Liu Yunniang.

The big reason why Liu Yuniang is with him now is because she thought Li Keyong was dead.And even if she followed her, judging from her proposal this morning to live alone and not to marry Li Jing, she still had feelings for Li Keyong.If she knew that Li Keyong was still alive, would the relationship they just broke through change?

To be honest, although I really broke through that relationship with Liu Yuniang last night.But Li Jing really likes this woman very much!

This liking may not be love, and there may not be much true love.But for Li Jing, talking about true love is a bit inappropriate and extravagant given his current status.It is not easy to find someone who you like, the other person also likes you, and the two people are so compatible and really attracted to each other.

Li Keyong!Li Jing sneered in her heart, why can't you just die honestly, why bother to come out again?

"Do you know where Li Keyong is now?" He looked at Zhang Chengan.

"I heard that Li Keyong is in Hedong now, but I don't know where exactly."

Gai Yu looked at Li Jing, "What's your plan?"

"Plan? My plan is to let Li Keyong never show up again like this. Is there any way for you to do it?" Li Jing said.

"Maybe we can call Gongsun Zhongcheng to discuss a beheading plan. There are professional assassins and killers in the Supervision Office, both of whom are top-notch figures. If we make careful arrangements, maybe we can find the mouse hole where Li Keyong is hiding, and then kill him directly." Kill him." Jing Xiang on the side made a suggestion.

In the past, Li Jing might not have considered such a plan.But now, he agreed without much hesitation.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to the Supervision Office. We must come up with a plan as soon as possible. I don't want to see Li Keyong again. In addition, you'd better keep this matter secret, and don't leak any news. I don't want Yun Mother has heard some gossip and knows a little bit about Li Keyong." After Li Jing finished speaking, she got up and left. (To be continued.)
