False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Obviously, there are still loyal ministers in this world.

Li Zhao was very pleased to learn about this, and he promoted Wu Sangui three levels.

If Chongzhen in the original history knew about this, he would probably say it was impossible.

I can only say.

Wu Sangui in the Li Tang world, after following Xin Qiji, changed a lot.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black, this is the truth.

But the good news in Liaodong is not as good as the negative impact brought by the Five Kings Rebellion.

Most of the nine passes in the north turned to the King of Yan, one of the kings of different surnames.

The fiefdom of the King of Yan is in the north, bordering the foreign tribes on the grassland.

The intention of the first emperor of Li Tang was obviously to weaken the power of the King of Yan with the help of the barbarians, and to protect the border.

But he didn't expect.

I don't know what means the King of Yan used to connect the border troops of the nine passes, and at the same time connect the barbarians to the south of the Central Plains.

Li Zhao was still calm when he learned about this, and immediately ordered the Western Army to block the King of Yan's army along the west line of the river.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Compared with the more than 400,000 troops under the command of the Prince of Yan, the Western Army has only a little over 130,000 and can only hold on.

Perhaps with heavy losses, it is not impossible for the Western Army to surrender.

"Your Majesty, you need to prepare early!"

"There is an old saying: 'It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers.'"

"Your Majesty may as well order the governor of the Beijing Camp to lead the Beijing Camp to the south of the Yangtze River to cooperate with the Prince of Ning to solve the problem of the Prince of Zheng first."

In comparison, the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River was dominated by the Prince of Zheng. His strength was still in the middle stream among the kings of different surnames, only slightly stronger than the original Prince of Wu. Even if he gathered Japanese pirates, there were only 70,000 to 80,000 people.

And with the Prince of Ning in the northwest, at least the south of the Yangtze River can be guaranteed.

Even if the capital was lost and the north fell into the hands of the rebel king, Li Tang could retreat to the south of the Yangtze River and watch across the river.

Wang Ziteng was in the court. Hearing the court officials propose that he lead the army to go to war, although he remained calm on the surface, he was secretly delighted in his heart.

It's not okay to ask him to fight against powerful kings of other surnames such as the King of Yan, but it's no problem to deal with the King of Zheng!

But for Li Zhao, this is the truth.

But if the Beijing camp moves south, the strength of the capital will be greatly reduced, which is a double-edged sword and needs to be carefully considered.

And...

Li Zhao narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.

She naturally saw the little thoughts of these ministers who gave advice!

They just felt that the rebel king was powerful and needed to avoid the edge for a while.

The so-called advice was actually to ask her to move the capital!

Thinking of this, Li Zhao suppressed his anger in his heart and wanted to scold something, but he couldn't say it when he came to his lips.

What's wrong with opposing the relocation of the capital?

Are there generals in the court who can lead the army to fight against several rebel kings?

Even Wang Ziteng, as a representative of the court military officers, never mentioned this matter.

Today is another day for Li Zhao to miss Lin Chen.

As for Lin Chen, who was missed by Li Zhao, where is he now?

Somewhere in the mountains of Shandong.

"King of Yan?"

Lin Chen murmured the title, with a playful look on his face.

Interesting.

If the other party was not called Zhu Di, he would have thought it was the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

"But it's good this way."

Lin Chen glanced at the map, which marked the situation of various forces in the world.

It seems that the King of Yan has already mobilized all his troops to attack the capital.

At this time, Lin Chen may be able to give him a fatal blow from the rear.

He stared at the route of the five kings with deep eyes, and his mouth slightly raised.

If his plan goes well, he may be able to quell the five rebels in one fell swoop!

However, the current situation in the Central Plains is still changing three times a day.

Most of the news that spread was not good for Li Tang.

It was nothing more than the fall of cities, the surrender of local rebel kings, etc.

Among them, the most active in attacking was the King of Qi Guo Rong.

He ordered the prince Chai Jin to lead a large army, trying to swallow up the entire Shandong territory and cut off Liaodong.

Moreover, Guo Rong thought highly of Xin Qiji. After he started the army, he repeatedly expressed his intention to surrender and was willing to treat him with high positions and generous salaries.

However, Xin Qiji was unmoved. He killed all the messengers sent by Guo Rong to show his determination.

Of course.

On the surface, the five kings joined forces to attack Li Tang, but in fact, each of them had ulterior motives and their own plans.

If Li Tang was destroyed, the opponents who wanted to plot the world would become other rebel kings.

Except for the young and incompetent King Yan, the remaining rebel kings, such as Guo Rong, were actively expanding their territories and accumulating strength.

According to Guo Rong's plan, as long as he took over the entire Qi and Lu lands, he would have the capital to compete for the world.

However, at this moment, an urgent war report came.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Guo Rong looked at the messenger covered in blood, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

"What's the matter?"

"The army led by the prince was ambushed by the Tang army!"

Guo Rong's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he slammed the table and stood up: "What?! Whose army is it? Who is the commander?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment, and finally uttered a name that made Guo Rong pale - the Huaiyang Second Guards trained by the Liangshan bandits!

"How is it possible? Aren't the Huaiyang Second Guards temporarily stationed in Sichuan and Shu? Why are they in Shandong?!"

Indeed, this is also the reason for the messenger's hesitation.

Logically speaking, the Huaiyang Second Guards followed Lin Chen to Sichuan and Shu to eliminate the King of Wu. How could they cross thousands of miles and appear in Shandong in such a short time?

And the answer is, of course, they were transported by Lin Chen by sea.

The two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun led the mighty navy and broke through the waves all the way.

In addition to transporting the Huaiyang Second Guards, Zhang Heng looked at the extra naval ships under his command with great confidence.

These extra ones are naturally from the New Tang navy in the Emei Secret Realm.

After being assigned to Zhang Heng's command,

they have only one goal, which is to wipe out King Zheng and his navy!

Lin Chen, who learned about the current situation of the Li Tang Dynasty, naturally no longer concealed anything.

The Deer and the Cauldron Secret Realm and Emei Secret Realm allow him to dispatch a million soldiers in armor!

Because of this, in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Chen seemed to have created a million-strong army out of thin air.

This caught the major rebel kings off guard and they were besieged in place one after another!!

At the same time.

The army of King Yan had already approached the capital, and did not encounter too many obstacles along the way.

Just when he was about to attack the capital, capture the capital, and break the reputation of the orthodox Li royal family.

The 10,000 imperial guards led by Lin Chen and 50,000 Yulin cavalry suddenly appeared behind the army of King Yan.

As the saying goes, when ten thousand people are in a camp, there is no end.

What's more, the Yan Wang has 400,000 or 500,000 people under his command!

So the Yan Wang army was very far apart, stretching for dozens of miles.

And because of the addition of the grassland barbarians, the already disordered military camp became even more chaotic.

Because of this, when the elite cavalry led by Lin Chen suddenly appeared behind the Yan Wang army like a ghost, no one noticed it.

Lin Chen's goal was very clear, that is, to attack the weak point of the Yan Wang army, and then break through it in one fell swoop to create chaos!

After all, once the chaos begins, it will be like a flood that cannot be contained.

This situation is devastating even in modern armies.

Not to mention in ancient times when communication was inconvenient.

Everything was as Lin Chen expected. The Yan Wang army obviously did not expect that someone would launch an attack from behind, and was completely unprepared.

In addition, the Yan Wang put the elite troops in the front to act as arrows, while the elite cavalry led by Lin Chen were all masters above the innate level.

Therefore, they broke through tens of thousands of Yan troops with almost no effort, and continued to chase and kill the fleeing Yan troops, causing greater chaos.

Just like those classic battles in history where the few defeated the many, Lin Chen did not intend to use his tens of thousands of elite cavalry to break through the entire Yan army formation in one fell swoop, but cleverly used the battlefield situation to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.
