    Chapter 357 The heroes rise together

    Li Yuanjing¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard Fang Yiai¡¯s words.

    After a slight hesitation, Li Yuanjing added: "On the left of Jingzhou is Li Min, the king of Shu, on the right is Mazhou of Yangzhou, and in the south are the states of Lingnan Province. If I were the emperor, I'm afraid they would be dissatisfied."

    Fang Yiai snorted coldly and said: "Now that the prince occupies Shannan Road and Jiangnan Road, in the southern region of the Tang Dynasty, the prince is the strongest and has the largest territory. Anyone who dares to say no will be directly attacked and destroyed.  Kill him!"

    Li Yuanjing nodded. Li Yuanjing had been King of Jing for more than ten years. Especially in the past few days, after the fall of Chang'an, nearby states followed Li Yuanjing's lead. Li Yuanjing gathered a powerful army in his hands.

    This army has a total of 300,000 people. It is well-trained, well-armed and equipped with complete armor. Although it has fewer horses, it has a complete navy. It is definitely the most powerful force in the entire south of the Tang Dynasty.

    Li Yuanjing believed that with the support of this army, he had enough capital to proclaim himself emperor in Jingzhou.

    Thinking of this, Li Yuanjing gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, the country cannot be left without a master for a day, then this king, oh no, it is me! If I ascend the throne in ten days, I will definitely be able to revive the Tang Dynasty!"

    Li Yuanjing changed his title, and Fang Yiai immediately fell to his knees and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor"

    Li Yuanjing of Jingzhou was busy ascending the throne as emperor. On the left side of Jingzhou, Li Min, the king of Shu in Yizhou, was also in a dilemma.

    Yizhou, where Li Min is located, is the largest, most populous, and richest state in the entire Jiannan Road.

    During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei occupied Yizhou and established the Shu Han regime, dividing the world into three parts.

    The Shu region did not experience too much turmoil in the late Sui Dynasty, and its population was preserved to a large extent. Therefore, when people's livelihood in various places was in decline in the early Tang Dynasty, Jiannan Road, where the Shu region is located, not only had the highest number of household registrations among all roads,  , and also became an important logistics base for the Tang Dynasty's unification war, providing guarantee for the unification of the country.

    Li Shimin enfeoffed Li Min to Shu in order to better control this land of abundance.

    In fact, during the Li Zhi Rebellion, Li Min wanted to raise troops to attack King Qin in Beijing. However, the road between Shu and Chang'an was difficult. The road to Shu was difficult, and it was difficult to reach the sky. Therefore, the reinforcements sent by Li Min did not catch up with Li Zhi to pacify him.  chaos.

    But this time, the Western Turks and Tibetans suddenly attacked Chang'an, and Li Min had no time to react.

    So, it¡¯s not that Li Min didn¡¯t save him, it¡¯s that he was beyond his reach.

    By the time Chang'an fell, Li Min's army had not yet set off.

    When he heard the news that Li Shimin had died in battle, Li Min burst into tears and looked at Chang'an in the distance, wearing sackcloth and mourning.

    Chang Shi Gao was the son of Gao Shilian and was quite talented. He not only regained the benefits of irrigation in Yizhou, but also revitalized the education industry.

    At this time, Gao Fuli said to Li Min: "Your Highness, please do not be overly sad. Now is the time when the country is in crisis. You should stick to Shu and wait for the opportunity to regain the Central Plains."

    Li Min didn't have any ideas, he just said: "Now Ma Zhou has proclaimed himself the king of Wu, and I heard that King Jing Li Yuanjing will also proclaim himself the emperor. Prince Li Zhen's life and death are unknown. Where should I go?"

    Gao Jinshi said: "If Li Yuanjing established himself as emperor, it would be treason. Ma Zhou also had the intention to rebel when he established himself as the king of Wu. However, Ma Zhou is far away from us. With Yizhou's current strength, it is not appropriate to adopt a strategy of distant relations and close attacks."  He fell out with Ma Zhou and forced Ma Zhou to side with Li Yuanjing.

    Judging from his humble position, Yizhou has dangerous mountains and rivers and an advantageous population. His Highness should use this as a basis to order the states in Jiannan Road to accumulate strength. If the time changes, he can either restore the Central Plains and drive away the foreigners or eliminate them.  Li Yuanjing, this is how we can restore the Tang Dynasty!  "

    "Gao Changshi's words are reasonable. The life and death of Prince Li Zhen are unknown. How virtuous and capable is Li Yuanjing? He dares to call himself Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

    Gao Jingcheng nodded and said: "Your Highness is absolutely right. We should first control Jiannan Road as the foundation, rely on the solid mountains and rivers, and wait for the right time. This Li Yuanjing must never recognize him as the emperor."

    Li Min said: "What he said is true, but Li Yuanjing has 300,000 troops under his command, and we only have a few hundred thousand troops in Jiannan Road, so how can we defeat him? If he does not recognize his position as emperor, I am afraid that Li Yuanjing will just use it as the emperor."  This is an excuse to attack.¡±

    "The veteran general Zhi Huan Si Li is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He has always been able to lead troops. Because Fang Xuanling was implicated in the case and was exiled to Xunzhou, he can be used as a general to resist Li Yuanjing's attack."

    "It makes sense, call Zhisi Siwei into Chengdu immediately!"

    "Report! The envoy from King Jing Li Yuanjing has arrived, delivering a letter from Li Yuanjing."

      A servant delivered the letter to Li Min.

    Li Min was furious after reading the letter. The letter turned out to be Li Yuanjing's recruitment letter. The main idea was that Li Yuanjing had proclaimed himself emperor and wanted Li Min's Jiannan Road to submit to Li Yuanjing.

    "Li Yuanjing actually established himself as emperor! It's really abominable! He is really a rebellious official and a traitor!" Li Ming was so angry that he threw the letter to the ground.

    "Someone, push Li Yuanjing's envoy out and behead him in public!"

    Li Min recruited the veteran general Zhi lost Si Li, commanded the soldiers and horses of Shu, and actively prepared for war with Li Yuanjing.

    On the other hand, Li Yuanjing sent letters to Ma Zhou and Li Min at the same time, asking them to submit to him. Ma Zhou ostensibly bowed to Li Yuanjing so that Li Yuanjing would not attack him, but in fact he still went his own way.

    Although Li Yuanjing was dissatisfied with this, Ma Zhou had already surrendered on the surface, so he was not ready to go to war with Ma Zhou.

    However, when Li Yuanjing heard that Li Min had killed his envoy and opposed his becoming emperor, he couldn't help but became furious.

    Immediately, Li Yuanjing sent 200,000 troops, relied on the power of the navy to sail up the Yangtze River, and launched an attack on Yizhou.

    Li Min refused to give in and sent troops to fight Li Yuanjing. Li Yuanjing had a strong army, but Li Min had a favorable geographical location and a famous general who was unable to unify the army. Neither side could do anything about the other, and a protracted war began.

    Before the Tibetans could fight, they had a heated internal fight. This must be said to be the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty.

    Just when Li Yuanjing proclaimed himself emperor and fought against Li Min, the situation in the north became extremely chaotic.

    First, Helan Shiren in the Luoyang area stood up on his own and called himself King Zheng. Later, King Li Fu of Zhao in Zhao raised his army under the banner of expelling the aliens. He first said that he wanted to attack the Uighur Tumidu tribe who had occupied Xue Yantuo's hometown, but he did not want to suddenly go south.  , attacked Wu King Li Ke who had just moved to Jizhou. Li Ke was caught off guard. After his defeat, he fled to Youzhou with the remaining troops.

    At this time, the Xi tribe army had occupied Youzhou, so Li Ke detoured northward and entered the grassland. The dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty turned out to be a rogue. It was really miserable.

    And Li Fu relied on the elite of his troops. After occupying Jizhou, he sent troops to capture Hebei Road, occupying the entire Hebei Road and most of Hedong Road, becoming one of the top powers in the north (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel  .com
