When I woke up in the morning, the ground was white.

There was a big frost last night and the temperature dropped sharply in the morning.

Camps were continuous by the Poyang Lake in Hongzhou. After a great battle, Li Chao captured more than 40,000 people and more than 1,000 warships.

I was busy for three days after counting the prisoners, checking the ships, food and grass, verifying the identity of the prisoners.

Li Chao sat in the military tent, burning a charcoal basin in the tent, but it was still cold. The sharp drop in temperature made Li Chao a little unable to bear it.

In front of Li Chao was a simple sand table with red and blue flags inserted all over the sand table.

Yangzhou, Hongzhou.

Two important towns in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been removed. Warriors surrendered and hanged themselves, and Liu Zhenghui was defeated and dived. The choices of these two Taiyuan Yuanshi meritorious officials are sad.

However, the two important towns and two large armies in the southeast of the Supreme Emperor were all gone.

After the Battle of Hongzhou, from Hongzhou to Hanjing, only 5,000 soldiers and horses from Li Jing in Jiangxia City were left.

"Prince, Your Majesty's envoy is here." Student Liu Rengui was looking for a meeting outside.

"My Majesty's Messenger?"

Li Chao asked, now the two majesties, Li Chao didn’t know which one of them was.

"Empress of the Emperor Zhenguan." Liu Renzhidao.

Li Chao turned around after hearing this, "Go away, welcome the angel."

A moment later, a man with dusty face appeared at the camp gate.

Li Chao was surprised when he saw this person. This was an old friend, Lao Wang, the eunuch of the Eunuch. After only half a year, Lao Wang's picture without any white face turned a little dark and rough.

There was a beard under his lips and jaws.

As soon as he came in, the eunuch Wang immediately shouted at Li Chao, "Prince Zhao."

"Eunuch Wang." Li Chao also hurried forward.

The eunuch Wang smiled, "As soon as he arrived in Hongzhou, I heard that the prince fought against Liu Zhenghui in Poyang Lake. Our family was still worried about the prince. More than 10,000 people fought against 50,000 rebels. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived here, he heard that the prince was so great that he defeated Liu Zhenghui with only thirty boats. It was amazing."

When Li Chao saw Eunuch Wang coming here in person, he kept guessing his purpose in his heart. Eunuch Wang is not an ordinary person, the head of the eunuch, and he is also the leader of Li Shimin's secret organization of the Six Gates. These things cannot be hidden from Li Chao.

The emperor personally fought against the Western Regions, and the king and eunuchs followed him.

"It's really hard for my father-in-law to come from the Western Regions. I wonder where His Majesty has arrived at the moment, and what will he do to convey his order to come?"

Eunuch Wang rubbed his hands and face and said with a smile, "The weather in Jiangnan is really cold. Our hands and feet are almost frozen. Let's go to the tent to roast the fire first. It would be even better if there was a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

"please."

After entering Li Chao's tent, Eunuch Wang took off his shoes without hesitation, sat on the fire while baking his hands and feet.

"Come here, make a basin of hot water for Eunuch Wang to burn your feet, and then add a pot of hot tea."

A group of generals arrived after hearing the news and felt a little embarrassed to see the scene.

But Eunuch Wang couldn't take care of that much, and kept scalding his feet with hot water, shouting comfortably, "I feel like I'm finally alive again."

"Where is the prince, Liu Zhenghui, and Li Gaoqian? Can he capture it?"

Li Chao sat beside him and roasted the fire, saying, "Eunuch Wang, Liu Zhenghui jumped into the lake and committed suicide after he was defeated. Li Gaoqian died in the artillery attack in the water battle."

Eunuch Wang was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, both of the chief generals were dead, "It's good to die, these traitors."

"It's OK to die, but they're cheaper."

After a basin of water became less hot, Eunuch Wang reluctantly raised his feet and wiped them clean and put them on the new cotton boots that Li Chao brought.

"Prince, please accept the order."

The eunuch Wang read out the imperial edict.

At the beginning of the imperial edict, the crown prince gave Li Chao the reward and official position.

However, the title of King Zhao was changed to King Yue, but the King Yue was not the Prince, but the Prince. Li Shimin also specially gave the fiefdom of Liu Qiu Island, which was originally granted to Li Chao's son, and gave it to Li Chao's fiefdom.

During the feudal state of Yue, Li Chao became the first king to be granted to the Tang Dynasty.

The world was responsible for the kings and the rebellion of the army, the Grand Marshal of the Shangshu Ling, the Taifu, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and the governor of the Six Dao of Jiangnan.

The emperor also specially gave Li Chao a general seal of the Grand Marshal, as well as the golden seal of the King of Yue Kingdom.

Listening to these rewards, Li Chao frowned.

Li Chengqian made him the king, but Li Chao didn't care much, because in his opinion, when the chaos was settled, Li Shimin would definitely find a reason to take back the nine kings. In the Tang Dynasty, different surnames were not allowed to be named kings.

Even if the nine kings all gave them a surname, it actually did not meet the emperor's vision.

But now Li Shimin actually admitted the title of crown prince and promoted him to another level.

The king of Yue State and let him establish a feudal country.

What did the emperor think?

The more this happened, Li Chao felt a little uneasy. The reward was too high. He had not yet quelled the rebellion and took down the Han capital. Even when the emperor's decree was issued, he had not yet defeated Liu Zhenghui.

This is a dangerous sign.

"Congratulations to Sanlang, congratulations to King Yue." The eunuch Wang smiled and said congratulations.

Li Chao smiled and followed.

"If Your Majesty learned that King Yue had defeated Liu Zhenghui and wiped out all 50,000 troops, I would be even happier."

"Liu Zhenghui is just a mob, and underestimating the enemy is nothing." Li Chao said lightly, "Where is Your Majesty?"

After seeing Li Chao as the king, eunuch Wang was not too happy, and secretly praised Li Chao's concentration.

"I came from Jiuquan and His Majesty. I traveled day and night all the way, traveling 500 miles a day, and it took me ten days to get here."

"Thank you for your hard work, and you have traveled thousands of miles in ten days."

Li Chao calculated in his mind that ten days ago, Li Shimin was still in Jiuquan. According to what the eunuch Wang said, the emperor took 20,000 cavalry and left the large army on the same day.

The king ran five hundred miles a day, and the emperor's cavalry ran two or three hundred miles a day. In ten days, the emperor should have arrived in Chang'an.

Chang'an is still 800 miles away from Hanjing.

But Hanjing is about 1,500 miles away from Hongzhou.

Calculate that Li Chao was farther away from Hanjing, but Li Shimin ran to him.

However, when Li Shimin wanted to enter Hanjing, he would leave Tongguan, and Li Yuanji and Li Xiaogong had a 50,000 army. After leaving Wuguan, there would be troops in Hanjing to intercept them.

However, Li Chao had only one Jiang Xia Li Jing in front of him.

"King Yue, Your Majesty hopes that Grand Marshal, you can arrive at Hanjing City as soon as possible, the faster the better."

Li Shimin hopes that the sooner the farce, the better. Although he led a light horse to Hanjing, he also hopes that Li Chao can arrive in Hanjing as soon as possible, so that the chance of winning will be greater when the two sides attack.

"Please tell Your Majesty that you will set off today and rush to Hanjing."

The eunuch Wang shook his head, "I'm here this time, and I won't go back for the time being. Your Majesty appointed our family as the King of Yue's military commander."

The military commander and the military commander sound the same as the military commander.
