"Destroy Liu Heita?"

When Li Chongjiu heard Zhang Xuansu say that he was sure to destroy Liu Heita, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since defeating Dou Jiande last year, Liu Heita has unified Dou Jiande's remaining forces, and has done three major events in total from November last year to May this year.

The first thing was that Liu Heita defeated the men of Yuan Zigan, the general manager of Tang Mingzhou, and occupied Mingzhou. Yuan Zigan was originally the chief magistrate of Wu'an County of the imperial court. Later, Li Mi used his ancestor Junyan to surrender with his letter, so he surrendered Li Mi.

But later Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong, and Yuan Zigan also surrendered to Li Yuan as most of the old officials in the Wagang army made their way out.

After Dou Jiande's defeat, Li Shentong, the Shandong ambassador of Li Tang, intended to take advantage of the situation and annex Liu Heita's troops. He rushed to Hebei in front of Li Chongjiu, but Li Shentong kicked the stone and encountered a tough problem.

Liu Heita not only defeated Li Shentong's invasion, but instead captured Mingzhou. Yuan Zigan, who was conferred by Li Tang, surrendered to Liu Heita.

However, Liu Heita considered the aggressive offensive in the north, and moved the Xia army's base from Leshou County to Yongnian County, Wu'an County, and renamed it Mingzhou, and built a palace into Wanchun Palace.

The second thing was that Liu Heita thought that Dou Jiande could inherit the position of King Xia after his death, but he did not know that there was news from Youjing that Dou Jiande was not dead, but was granted a marquis by Li Chongjiu, offering delicious food and drink. Because he did not have enough prestige, Liu Heita did not dare to replace Dou Jiande, so he still regarded Dou Jiande as King Xia and sent people to Guanjin to worship the graves for Dou Jiande's father Dou Qing, and arranged twenty families to guard the cemetery.

Liu Heita claimed to be a general in Mingzhou, and at the same time sent envoys to Luoyang to visit Emperor Taizhu to make good friends with Wang Shichong. When Wang Shichong learned about it, he was overjoyed and failed to form an alliance with Li Chongjiu. Instead, he turned to form an alliance with Liu Heita.

The third thing is that Liu Heita knew that he was going to replace Dou Jiande's position and lacked prestige, so he led his army to fight in the east and west.

Liu Heita first formed an alliance with Yu Wenhua and Yanhao in the first month of this year.

Yu Wenji was retreating to Wei County at this time, and was defeated by Li Mi before. Most of the soldiers died. Yu Wenji thought that the road was over at that time, and sighed and said, "Life is dead, so he will become emperor for one day." So he abolished the Qin King Yang Hao and proclaimed himself the emperor. The country was named Xu and the year was Tianshou.

When Da Xu was established, all the heroes were speculating that Yu Wen and could last for a few days. After Yu Wen and Tongshan were defeated, there were only more than 20,000 troops left in the 100,000 troops, which was defeated by Li Mi. However, after Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong in the southern expedition, Yu Wen Ji was able to breathe. Later, Li Mi joined Li Tang, and Yu Wen Ji took the opportunity to send troops to attack Li Yangcang.

At that time, Li Chongjiu wanted to give Li Yangcang to Yu Wenhua.

Yu Wen and ordinary people got a big advantage. Now they are recruiting food and grass from Li Yangcang, but they are rekindled. In history, Yu Wen, who was originally Li Shentong and Dou Jiande, was destroyed by Li Shentong in the east and Dou Jiande in the west. They live more and more spiritually.

After Liu Heita and Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong formed one after another, the great trouble had passed. He led his army eastward to take direct attacks to Shandong.

At this time, there were many princes in Shandong. The former imperial court, Li Yiman, governor of Qizhou, occupied Pingling, and the bandits Qi Gongshun occupied Qing, and Lai. Chunyu Nan occupied Wendeng, Xu Shishun occupied Rencheng, Jiang Hongdu occupied Donghai, Wang Bo occupied Qi County, Meng Hai Gong. Jiang Shanhe occupied Yunzhou, Zhang Qing special occupied Jibei County, Zang Junxiang occupied Haidonghai County, and Xu Yuanlang occupied Yanzhou.

Among them, Li Yiman, Xu Shishun, Jiang Hongdu and Chunyu Nan have all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Bo first surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and now he saw Yu Culture and the comeback of Dongshan, and surrendered to Xu Kingdom.

As for Duke Meng Hai, Jiang Shanhe, and Zhang Qingte, they were originally subdued to Dou Jiande, but now they are defeated by Dou Jiande, they are all releasing themselves.

As for Xu Yuanlang, Zang Junxiang, and Qi Gongshun, they are neutral.

Liu Heita launched a large-scale external conquest to consolidate his authority. In March this year, he crossed the Yellow River and fought fiercely with Duke Meng Hai and Jiang Shanhe, defeating Duke Meng Hai. Later, Jiang Shanhe betrayed Duke Meng Hai and killed Duke Meng Hai and presented it to Liu Heita.

Liu Heita later attacked Zhang Qingte. At this time, Xu Shiji, under the order of Li Chongjiu, sent troops to Hejian, attack Gaoyang, and carried out a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. Liu Heita had to lead his army back from Shandong and return to protect Gaoyang. Xu Shiji retreated.

But Liu Heita did not stop and sent troops to attack Dongjun. The Dongjun commander Wang Gui was born to subdue Li Tang. When his subordinates saw Liu Heita's troops arrived, they killed Wang Gui and presented his head to Liu Heita. Liu Heita said, "This is an unfaithful person, what's the point?"

Now Liu Heita killed this general and returned Wang Gui's head to Dongjun. The people of Dongjun were grateful for Liu Heita's kindness. Now Dongjun merged with the county and surrendered to Liu Heita.

Seeing that Liu Heita's army was forcing people, the governor of Hedong Road Xu Shiji made a letter to Li Chongjiu three times, asking Li Chongjiu to launch troops to attack Liu Heita's back to prevent Liu Heita from becoming a big deal.

Now that Li Chongjiu's military use against the Khitan is over, he can attack Liu Heita to eliminate the troubles of his confidants.

So when Zhang Xuansuyan had a plan to defeat Liu Heita, Li Chongjiu said: "Zhang Aiqing, don't you want to destroy this big problem, but the military use of the Khitan has just ended, and the troops are exhausted and need rest. Moreover, the treasury is empty and there is no money or food. I think it will take until September to attack Liu Heita at the earliest."

Zhang Xuansu smiled and said, "Please rest assured, please leave this matter to me."

When Li Chongjiu heard Zhang Xuansu say this, he smiled and said, "Very good, Zhang Qing, just help Governor Xu deal with this matter."

Zhang Xuansu now says yes.

Chang'an City.

In Wuji Palace, Li Yuan was enjoying the flowers with his favorite concubine Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei in the back garden of the palace.

Li Yuan was in a very good mood. Pei Ji, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji were talking to Li Yuan. Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yin De were adding wine to them.

The king and his minister chatted for a while, and Li Yuan was pillowing on the dragon throne.

Pei Ji said, "Li Gui has been destroyed, and the land in the west of Longyou Hexi is already worry-free. Your Majesty is just around the corner."

Li Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, "You just like to make fun of it, Li Gui is destroying himself."

Li Yuanji said, "Father, although Guanzhong is worry-free, Hebei..."

"Fourth brother," Li Jiancheng interrupted, "Fourth brother, why bother to disturb the father's interest at this time."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Crown Prince, when will my Li family stop people from talking? Yuan Ji, tell me what's wrong with Hebei?"

Li Yuanji said, "Father, although Bashu is determined at Guanzhong, I, Li Tang, have lost land in Hebei. Last year, I, captured Hengshan County for Li Chongjiu, and this year I lost Mingzhou and then Dong County. It's not that I am a child who is not a disciple, but I am not a father, but you are really relieved to entrust the matter of Hebei to the King of Huai'an?"

Li Yuan sat upright when he heard this, pinched his beard and sat upright. Li Jiancheng said unhappily: "Fourth brother, the King of Huai'an is the general ordered by his father. If you question the King of Huai'an, you are questioning the employer of his father."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Crown Prince." Li Jiancheng stopped talking at the moment.

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanji and said, "The King of Qi is so interested in the war in Hebei. Do you intend to take another trip to Hebei and take over the leadership of the King of Huai'an?"

Li Yuanji's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Since the loss of Bingzhou last year, he really did not want to go back to Hedong, Hebei and wade into the muddy water again. This attack on the King of Huai'an was also in the opinion of Li Jiancheng.

Li Shentong has always been very close to Li Shimin, which aroused Li Jiancheng's fear. As the pacification ambassador of Hebei Province, Li Shentong controlled the troops of several prefectures in Hebei and had a high position and a high position and a high position.

Li Jiancheng thought about replacing Li Shentong and cutting off Li Shimin.

When Li Yuanji heard Li Yuan’s question, although he was unwilling to go to Hebei, in order not to let Li Yuan look down on him, he still said, “The child is willing to work hard for his father and emperor.”

Li Yuan heard Li Yuan's tone and said in a stern manner: "There is Li Chongjiu in Youzhou, Liu Heita in Hebei, and Yu Culture in Henei. Which of these three people is easy to use? It's easy for children to see it easily. If you change it, how many heads do you have?"

When Li Yuan heard that his face was full of smiles, his face suddenly changed. Li Yuanji lowered his head and even kept talking and laughing at Concubine Zhang Jie and Concubine Yin De, he was slightly panicked and his appearance was lost.

Pei Ji said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Qi, is also very committed to the country, so you don't have to blame him."

Li Yuan said coldly: "It's good to have this kind of heart, but he is overestimated. I thought that after the defeat of Bingzhou, he would learn from his mistakes, but he didn't expect that he would still be like this."

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng stood up and said, "Yuan Ji, what else do you have to say now? The King of Huai'an can easily say behind the scenes."

"Father, Prince, Yuan Ji knew he was wrong." Li Yuan Ji drooped his head immediately.

Li Jiancheng winked at Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang raised a glass of drink, smiled and walked up to Li Yuanyan, saying, "Your Majesty, you're so angry that you scared the children. Come and have a drink to calm down."

Li Yuan smiled at Zhang Jieyu, took the Yanzi, and said, "However, although the King of Huai'an is trustworthy, he is indeed not a rival to heroes like Liu Heita and Li Chongjiu. But at present, Shimin has been preparing to attack the Eastern Capital. Except for Shimin and I, Li Tang, there is no one else who can lead troops, who can replace the King of Huai'an."

Li Jiancheng said, "Why not transfer the Prince of Hejian?"

Li Yuan immediately said, "Filial piety and respect cannot move."

Li Jiancheng said the names of several generals again, and Li Yuan shook his head.

Li Jiancheng said immediately: "After the father talks, he can only let Sanniang wear a ward again."

"Sanniang?" Li Yuan did not object immediately.

Li Jiancheng was happy and said, "What does the Father think?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "If it weren't possible, I wouldn't want Sanniang to go to the battlefield again."

"Why is this why?" Li Yuanji said, "In the battle of Hedong, there were only three sisters, and they fought with the Youzhou army in a similar situation."

Li Jiancheng also further said, "Father, the child also thinks it is OK. The third sister is your daughter. If you hand over the military power in Hebei to him, what else are you worried about?"

Pei Ji also said, "Your Majesty, I also think that what the prince and the King of Qi said makes sense."
