Li Tang had done this kind of operation before. Lu Yuan guessed that Li Tang would be shameless in times of crisis, so he resorted to this trick, so he naturally made corresponding preparations.

In his heart, Lu Yuan even hoped that Li Tang would do this so that he could kill Li Tang completely.

If he wants to resist the hundreds of thousands of Eastern Turkic troops heading south, Lu Yuan does not have that many troops. Moreover, the Eastern Turkic troops are mostly cavalry and are difficult to pursue. However, this world is not an ordinary ancient world. If the number of troops does not have an advantage, then think about something else.

The solution is.

Song Que, Xu Ziling, Shi Long and others quietly set out to intercept the East Turkic army heading south. The task was very simple, kill the top leaders of the East Turks and force the East Turkic army to return.

The East Turkic Khan Jieli, "Martial Lord" Bi Xuan, led his army before they even left the grassland. They were intercepted by Song Que, Xu Ziling and Shi Long. After a fierce battle, Bi Xuan, one of the three great masters, was intercepted by Song Que.

Without a beheading, Jieli Khan was killed by Xu Ziling, and many senior East Turks were killed, causing the East Turks army to fall into chaos instantly.

What caused the chaos in the Eastern Turkic army was not that Song Que and others frightened them, but that once Jieli Khan died, the position of Khan became vacant. This is the position of the Great Khan, who should sit or not?

The senior leaders of East Turkestan naturally wanted to sit in this position themselves, and did not want anyone else to sit in it. This caused internal chaos. It was too late to seize the Khan's position. How could they still think about going south to join forces with Li Tang to attack Lu Yuanjun? Which one of them would they wait for?

If you seize the position of Khan, you may go south under the banner of revenge for the previous Khan.

The crisis from the Eastern Turks was resolved by Lu Yuan, and Li Tang's nightmare began.

How could Li Tang's collusion with the Eastern Turks be kept a secret and spread to everyone in the world? All parties in the world originally did not pay attention to this kind of thing and thought it was a normal operation. It was harmless to invite foreign aid, but as time went on

Lu Yuan's harsh rebuke to Li Tang spread, causing Li Tang's reputation in the world to plummet.

The core point of Lu Yuan's denunciation of Li Tang is that "the war and attack between us and you, Li Tang, is an internal contradiction belonging to our Chinese nation, a fight between brothers of the same family. 'Brothers are jealous of each other within the wall, and external enemies are fighting against others'."

"Insult, but you Li and Tang are not particular about it. You fight between brothers, and you actually betray your own interests to invite outsiders. This kind of behavior is forgetting your ancestors and betraying the entire Chinese nation."

After these words spread, Li Tang's collusion with the Eastern Turks suddenly became an extremely shameful act. Song Que, a imperialist, even jumped out to cheer for Lu Yuan.

When the various forces thought about Lu Yuan's words, although some people were disdainful in their hearts, they had to admit that Lu Yuan's words were quite reasonable, because Lu Yuan's words gave an idea that they might have thought of in the past, but they

No one has ever specifically promoted the concept of Tianxia—the concept of nation and nation.

Unless they don't want to admit that they are members of the Chinese nation, they can only hold their noses and agree with Lu Yuan's words.

If you don't acknowledge it, you are forgetting your ancestors, and the concept of ancestors is a deep-rooted concept in people's thinking in this era.

After Song Que jumped out, all parties in the world also jumped out to denounce Li Tang. Cihang Jingzhai and Buddhism did not dare to go against this trend. Fan Qinghui jumped out and announced that he would sever ties with Li Tang. Li Tang's reputation

It plummeted in an instant and became stinky for a while.

The consequences of this for Li Tang were very serious. Many officials serving in Li Tang resigned one after another, causing Li Tang's strength to decline rapidly.

This effect occurred not only because Lu Yuan blamed Li Tang, but also because Lu Yuan's army defeated Li Tang's army and showed great strength.

If Lu Yuan is far less powerful than Li Tang, then even if Li Tang does something wrong, most people will turn a blind eye and ignore it, and some may even take the initiative to clear Li Tang's name.

Lu Yuan is stronger than Li Tang, and what he says is indeed reasonable, so naturally more people will listen to him.

Li Tang's senior management had no idea that they would end up like this after they made a wrong move. They also knew that their situation was over, but they still wanted to give it a final try.

Li Tang mobilized 200,000 troops to fight against Kou Zhong, but before they met Kou Zhong head-on, he lost tens of thousands, and was led by Li Tang's generals to join Kou Zhong.

Along the way, unless it was a city where people from Li Tang were garrisoned, the generals and officials of Li Tang who were stationed in the local city would open the city gates and surrender directly as soon as the flag of the Han army arrived.

The morale of Li Tang was low. Bad news came one after another. Although he tried hard, there was nothing he could do to save the situation!

Li Shimin went into battle and personally led the army to fight against Kou Zhong.

These two people who were rivals in the original work finally collide again in this world!

In the original work, when Kou Zhong met Li Shimin, he experienced envy, jealousy, inferiority and lack of self-confidence. But in this world, because of Lu Yuan, although Kou Zhong lacked some of the hardships in the original work, his growth was higher than in the original work.

.

Kou Zhong is full of confidence in confronting Li Shimin!

Both of them have strong commanding abilities, but there is a gap between the armies commanded by the two sides. The Li Tang Army led by Li Shimin is very elite, especially the Black Armor Cavalry under his command, which has even surpassed the Xiaoguo Army, the original number one army in the world.

, but the army commanded by Kou Zhong was equipped with guns and cannons and was stronger.

In this battle, Li Shimin was defeated miserably, and almost all of his Xuanjia cavalry were destroyed.

After riding a horse and rushing out of the ambush set by Kou Zhong, Li Shimin looked at the few dozen black armor cavalry remaining around him, looked up to the sky and sighed, "My fate is not mine", and then he drew his sword and killed himself!

Li Shimin was defeated and committed suicide. Li Tang's senior officials were panicked because the army led by Li Shimin was the last elite force of Li Tang, and Li Tang had no power left to resist Kou Zhong's army.

There are all kinds of situations in the world going on inside Li Tang. Some people are planning to escape, some want to resist to the death, and some want to surrender.

The army led by Kou Zhong attacked all the way to Chang'an City. Looking at the dozens of feet of Chang'an city wall, Kou Zhong remembered the scene when he came to this city a few years ago. At that time, the four of them, the master and the disciple, were still unknown gangsters.

Xiami, the Li family is still a high-ranking family member of the fourth surname, but now...

Seeing a group of people in front of Chang'an City, Kou Zhong shook his head, and under the protection of a group of soldiers, he rode up to the group of people.

The leader was an old man. When he saw Kou Zhong coming, he saluted Kou Zhong and said: "Li Tang and Li Yuan are willing to surrender to the King of Han!"

After saying that, Li Yuan took the lead and knelt down.

The former leader of the Li clan, today surrenders to the guests.

Kou Zhong did not deliberately humiliate the people of Li and Tang, and said calmly: "The King of Han once ordered that if Li Tang surrenders, that's for sure! I will follow the King of Han's order and accept the surrender of all of you."

Li Yuan took the lead and shouted: "Thank you, King Han, for your great kindness!"

The people in Li Tangzhong behind him also shouted in unison: "Kowtow and thank the King of Han for his great kindness!"

After all, Li Tang did not resist until the end and chose to surrender.

After hearing Kou Zhong say "Everyone, please get up!", Li Yuan and others dared to stand up, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Kou Zhong.

Li Yuan said: "Commander Kou led his army from afar and worked hard all the way. Li Yuan has prepared a banquet for Commander Kou and invited Commander Kou to enter the city!"

Kou Zhong glanced at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "Don't worry! My mother-in-law asked me to ask Mr. Li if he still remembers the 'Piao Xiang Hao'?"

Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

………………

Kou Zhong destroyed Li Tang, which meant that Lu Yuan was invincible except for a few remaining small princes in the whole of China. However, those small princes were unlikely to be rivals of Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan's complete unification of the world was just around the corner.

Taking the first year of the First Emperor's unification of the six kingdoms as the first year of the First Emperor's calendar, Lu Yuan ascended the throne in Luoyang in 843 of the First Emperor's calendar. He did not use the "Han" he had used as the country's name, but "Xia", the full name of which was "Huaxia"

", out of bad taste, Lu Yuanli's reign was called "Zhenguan".

Lu Yuan had no biological heirs in this world, and he did not intend to create a few, so he made Kou Zhong the prince, Xu Ziling the king of Qin, and Wei Zhenzhen the eldest princess Pingyang. What surprised a group of people was that Lu Yuan actually

Shan Wanjing was also named Princess Changle.

Everyone thought it was because of Kou Zhong. Because Kou Zhong married Shan Wanjing, Lu Yuan loved the whole family and made Shan Wanjing the princess.

After Lu Yuan ascended the throne, he mainly controlled the general direction of the country's development, and did not deal with specific and cumbersome government affairs. His purpose of unifying the world was to find the War Temple, train more masters, and go to the War Temple with him to do battles.

I didn’t go to the God of War Illustrated Book just to become an emperor.

During Lu Yuan's reign, he promulgated many far-reaching decrees, such as allowing the Demon Sect to preach, allowing women to serve as officials, opening a large number of elementary schools to provide civilians with a path to advancement, and sending fleets to sail across the oceans...

Although he encountered resistance and counterattack from aristocratic families and some Confucian scholars, which led to a lot of turmoil, people's livelihood recovered at an extremely fast speed during his reign. It was known as the "Reign of Zhenguan" in history, which laid the foundation for the subsequent "Kaiyuan Dynasty".
