Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Chengdu, in the palace of the king of Qin.

"What are you talking about, the Qi State has changed the emperor, and Jiang Ningxian was driven down by his son?" Li Zhao said in surprise.

"Yes, this is the news that the Black Ice Observatory has just come back from Jinling. On the first day of September, Zhang Feng, the governor of Jinling Nanying, suddenly launched a mutiny, invaded the palace, and forced Jiang Ningxian to abdicate. Duane Road.

Li Zhao asked: "Who has the final say in Qi now, is it Jiang Yan or Zhang Feng?" "

Jiang Yan has controlled the military and political power of Qi State, and according to the next speculation, Zhang Feng has already secretly taken refuge in Jiang Yan.

Li Zhao frowned slightly, what he was worried about was that Jiang Yan would tear up the agreement and launch an attack on the Zhaowu army.

Although Li Zhao was not afraid of him, he would disrupt some of the original plans.

As if knowing what Li Zhao was thinking, Du An said: "There is no indication that the Qi Kingdom has launched an offensive. After Jiang Yan succeeded to the throne, he did not increase his troops to the west. On the contrary, it showed obvious hostility towards Huainan, and the Guazhou Duqi army had increased to 40,000 troops, and it was very likely that it would use troops against Huainan.

"That's good news. Li Zhao smiled.

Chang Xuan's attempt, Li Zhao saw it very clearly. Obviously, it was planned to take advantage of the battle between the Zhaowu army and the Qi army to attack Jinling and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Li Zhao had previously agreed to an armistice with the Qi State, and there was also a reason for this, and he couldn't let Chang Xuan take advantage of it.

If the Qi State attacked Huainan, the Zhaowu army would not be idle.

Shi Ai had twice proposed to Li Zhao to send troops to capture Xiangyang. As long as there is Xiangyang, the Zhaowu army can enter the Central Plains at any time.

Li Zhao was quite tempted, and had sent Zhou Ming to Chang'an to greet Emperor Li Kun in advance.

After the preparations were completed, at least 80,000 Zhaowu troops were killed in Xiangyang, which was also the first battle between the Zhaowu army and the Kwantung Domain.

Li Zhao changed to a more comfortable lying position, ate pears, and said casually: "Has anything happened in the Central Plains and Hebei recently?"

"Liu Wenjun, the third son of Youzhou Jiedu, led his troops to attack Liaodong at the beginning of the year. Three battles and three victories, Pingzhou, Shenzhou and other places have been defeated, killing more than 150,000 Liaodong troops. The Youzhou army is still continuing to move north, and according to this trend, it is possible to capture the entire Liaodong next year. Duane Road.

Li Zhao remembered that Fan Shuo had mentioned Liu Wenjun a few times before, and he spoke highly of him. If the Youzhou army attacks Hebei, it will definitely be intervened by the Wei army. Liaodong is too remote for Chang'an to reach.

"Anything else?"

"There's one little thing that doesn't matter. Cao Ze, the envoy of the Bianzhou Festival, felt that the name 'Bianzhou' was not good, and asked Chang'an for an edict, hoping to change the name to 'Kaifeng'. For this reason, he paid tribute to Chang'an with some gold, silver and jewelry, but Emperor Li Kun of Wei did not agree, and the matter was eventually settled.

"Kaifeng is a good name. Li Zhao's expression was slightly weird.

Cao Ze controlled dozens of cities south of the Yellow River, including Bianzhou, Zhengzhou, Xuchang and other places. It is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and has a large population. He has always been extremely deferential to Chang'an, and he personally went to Chang'an to meet the emperor every year.

But Li Zhao didn't believe that he was an honest man, and he was nothing more than afraid of the hundreds of thousands of Wei troops stationed in Luoyang.

Duane continued: "Last month, there was a clash between Xuzhou and Qingzhou Jiedu envoys, killing and wounding more than 30,000 people. Li Kun specially sent someone to mediate for this purpose, and the two sides have now ceased fighting.

"That's all for now. Li Zhao said lightly.

"Yes. "

Hebei and the Central Plains are just listening, and he can't do anything for the time being.

As long as it is determined that Jiang Yan will not tear up the armistice agreement, in addition to using troops in Xiangyang, Li Zhao will continue to recuperate.

According to the previous plan, for next year's war, the Zhaowu army will be increased to at least 250,000 people. In the newly occupied territory, the expropriation of money and grain and the distribution of land among the people have been carried out in an orderly manner.

Well, it was originally intended to be so.

At this time, Zhao Qing, the commander of the pro-army, hurriedly asked to see Li Zhao.

After entering the house, Zhao Qing hurriedly said: "King Qiyu, yesterday 30,000 Xiangyang troops suddenly attacked Jiangling, and the strong rebellion in the city caused Jiangling to be lost. Our army lost more than 4,000 people, and General Liu Beichen led the remaining troops to retreat to the south bank. "

This king has said many times before that the Xiangyang Festival has made Yuan Mingqin ambitious, why is he so negligent.

Li Zhao was shocked and angry, before the Zhaowu army could make a move, Xiangyang actually rushed to send troops first. He now understands Li Kun's situation a little, and there are really few of these feudal towns in Kanto that are stable.

"Give Shi Ai an order, within half a month, recover Jiangling. In addition, it is strictly necessary to prevent Qi from taking the opportunity to send troops. "

Gangneung is a military town and has an abundance of products, so it must not be lost.

Thinking of those riotous heroes, Li Zhao hated his teeth itching, and there was an incomparably strong killing intent in his eyes.

"Then give Shi Ai an order to confiscate the weapons in the other Haoqiang Mansion, and the number of soldiers in the family should not exceed 100, and only sticks can be used. Those who violate the order will be killed!" Li Zhao's face was gloomy.

With the eastward advance of the Zhaowu Army, it can be clearly felt that the local Haoqiang repels the Zhaowu Army.

Although he was obedient on the surface, he violated the decree of the Ziwei Pavilion of the Qin State.

The Zhaowu army destroyed a few families before, and thought they could be honest, but it seemed that they were still unwilling.

Li Zhao no longer had any hesitation, he would not give Haoqiang a second chance.

................................................................................................................

Outside the city of Jiangling, Yuan Heteng was dressed in military uniform, riding a horse, and was in high spirits, followed by tens of thousands of Xiangyang troops.

General Zhao Chengdao: "It is often said that the military army is brave, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

Yuan Heteng smiled slightly, "The Xiangyang Army is a powerful force in the world, how can it be compared to the so-called Zhaowu Army." Haoqiang

in the city had been waiting near the city gate for a long time, and after seeing Yuan Heteng, he hurriedly came over to salute.

Everyone cried: "The Zhaowu army was brutal and unkind, but fortunately, the general was brave and defeated the thief army and saved the people of Jiangling from fire and water.

Yuan Heteng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my father has long been dissatisfied with Li Zhao's atrocities, and he will definitely destroy the thief army in the future." In

order to curry favor with Yuan Heteng, Yihao married his concubine to him and gave him a mansion.

After the victory in the first battle, Xiangyang added 40,000 troops to it.

Two days later, Yuan Heteng led his army to cross the river and go south.

Liu Beichen fought and retreated, and sent people to ask Shi Ai for help.
