Chapter 814
Dengzhou, Tangjun Henan Daoxingtai.

"King Hejian, this is the emperor's will, please go back to Chang'an, and the men and horses in Daoxingtai, Henan Province will be controlled by Li Jing for the time being, and Zhang Gongjin will also assist them."

Chen Fu, the supervisor of the palace, handed over the imperial decree to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong chuckled, without showing the slightest disappointment on his face, he said: "The army is away, I haven't been back to Chang'an for five years, this time back to Chang'an, I finally have a chance to meet the emperor and catch up on the old days."

Li Xiaogong said so, but the generals below had different expressions.

Chen Fu hurriedly said: "The king of the county is an important minister of the country. This time when he returns to Chang'an, the emperor has something important to entrust. Now that the situation in the Tang Dynasty has changed, there is no such important minister as the king of the county to support him."

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "I understand, please tell His Highness the Crown Prince, tomorrow I will put down my military affairs and return to Chang'an, you should go to the post station first, I still have military affairs to be delivered here."

Chen Fu heard that the other party did not refer to His Majesty, but His Highness the Crown Prince, and immediately said with an embarrassed smile: "The Crown Prince is young, and it is necessary for the Prince to help the Prince, so I will take my leave first."

So after saluting Li Xiaogong again, he withdrew.

After Chen Fu left, there were only a series of generals standing in the tent, such as Pang Yu, Wu Heikai, Zhang Zhenzhou, and Lu Zushang, who still had expressions of displeasure on their faces.

Li Xiaogong smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have been doing things for half my life, and I have never done anything wrong with my heart. Everyone who looks at me says that I am a person with a long life and a long salary. Now when I go back to Chang'an, I will also protect my wealth. Why do you need to worry about it?"

General Zhang Zhenzhou said: "Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin's army is attacking Henan. The emperor, no, it's His Royal Highness King Qin. Wouldn't it be a shake of the army's morale to change generals at this time?"

Another general, Wu Heikai, also said: "Commander, some rough people don't understand the things in the court, but our army can't live without a commander. Now that Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin are aggressive, we are preparing to fight with the commander. Let's fight a good battle together, let Zhao people know how powerful our Tang army is, what's going on now, and how can we fight this battle."

After speaking, Wu Heikai sat down angrily.

Li Xiaogong glanced at the generals and said: "You don't need to say, this time, whether it is the crown prince or the emperor, I don't care. Since I have decided to return to Chang'an, I will not be mother-in-law. As for how to fight Zhao Jun next, I will If you want to be a pharmacist, Hongshen and the others are enough to take care of it."

When Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin heard Li Xiaogong mentioning them, they clasped their fists together and said, "Master!"

Li Xiaogong walked in front of Li Jing, and said earnestly: "Yaoshi, your talent is ten times better than that of a certain person. From ancient times to the present, as a general, you are no less than Sun Wu. After Jiang Shang, you are just... nothing."

Lee Hyo-gong wanted to say 'manpower is exhausted sometimes', but he didn't say the last sentence.

"Everyone, this old man is going to Chang'an. During this period, you all obey Li Jing's orders and you must not disobey them. Do you understand?" Li Xiaogong glanced at the generals when he said this.

"promise!"

All the generals below agreed to order together.

At this time Li Xiaogong untied his jade belt and handed it to Li Jing.

The 蹀躞 belt is a kind of belt, which is a custom passed down from the Hu people to the Han people. On the belt hang seven items, including a counting bag, a knife, a whetstone, a Qibizhen, a 哕jue, a needle cylinder, and a flint bag.The jade belt is a favorite item of many dignitaries and military officers, and military officers of the third rank and above in the Tang Dynasty can hang this jade belt.

And Li Xiaogong handed over to Li Jing himself, obviously expressing in front of the generals that Li Jing will be the coach in the future, and you should not take it lightly.Although Li Jing is an unborn general, but his qualifications are not enough.So he wants to lend his prestige to Li Jing, let him deter the generals.As for myself, I am afraid that there will be no day when I will regain military power in the future.

After Li Xiaogong's incident, Li Shentong and Li Shenfu brothers from Hanoi were also transferred to Chang'an. The position of general was replaced by Li Shimin's confidant Gao Zengsheng, and Cheng Zhijie was in charge of Hanoi's defense.

Li Chen, the governor of Jiangzhou, Xiangwu King, was also thrown into Chang'an, and the governor was Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei.

However, the transfer of military power was not all smooth sailing. The generals of the Tiance Mansion came to power, which deeply disturbed many members of the party who were originally loyal to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.Here, Li Shimin's reckoning has been going on, both overtly and secretly.At the same time that Li Xiaogong returned to Chang'an, Li Tang's battle in Henan suddenly collapsed.

Stationed in Runan County, Li Sixing, the former guard of the king of Qi, led the army to rebel and let the Zhao army enter Runan. Ruyang, Xiping and other important towns in Runan fell one after another.

After Li Sixing, Li Zhi'an, the crown prince of the East Palace, gathered a crowd to revolt, and Li Leliang, the head of Li Tang's clan, led the guards to rebel. The situation fell into a passive state. Li Jingcai took over Henan and occupied it for ten days, but Henan was already in flames.

Huainan, Runan County fell!
Then the Tang Army in Yingchuan County was defeated by Xu Shiji, and the 5000 troops of the Tang Army were wiped out!
Li Jing had no choice but to withdraw his troops from the front line, to protect Xiangcheng and Huai'an. Li Tang had already lost half of Henan.

And a storm in Guanzhong is also brewing.

In a luxurious house in Chang'an, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe looked at Yiwen and said to himself with a smile: "I lost my way with the king, I asked where the king is, and the answer was that you are the king! Haha, it seems that fate is on me!"

After speaking, more than a dozen disciples on the side stood up and echoed, "Since it is the destiny of the young master, I am willing to serve the young master as the master, and start the incident immediately!"

And this man is Li Yili, the son of Li Xiaochang, the king of Li Tangyi'an.And the men around him are not ordinary people. For example, Liu Deyu was once the leader of Li Jiancheng's family, and the eldest grandson Anye is the half-brother of the eldest grandson Wuji. After the surname, the rest of the people in the house were not ordinary people, either the Prince Qi's remnant party, or outstanding figures among the children of Guanlong.

Li Yiyu said with confidence in his chest: "Li Shimin was able to use the help of the Nanya imperial army to successfully remonstrate and seize the position of the Eastern Palace. Why can't we follow his example and succeed?"

The eldest grandson Anye said: "Yes, the people of Li Shimin are betraying their relatives, and even the clan including King Yi'an are against him. Now there is a destiny on the young master, we have no reason not to act in accordance with the times, overthrow Li Shimin, and welcome the new emperor to the throne !"

The eldest grandson Anye took the lead in saying this, but he didn't like Li Shimin very much. Everyone knew that he had a falling out with his eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin's wife, his eldest grandson Wugou.

"Yes!"

"exactly!"

Everyone said it one after another.

People with a discerning eye can see that this time the rebellion was conspired, it seems that Li Yili decided to rebel because of the prophecy, and he had the destiny in him.In fact, it was the inner prince of Chang'an, the remaining party of King Qi, who was dissatisfied with Li Shimin's treatment of the clan's children, and used the officials of Tiance Mansion to rebel.
