It seems that Zhu Wen is determined to control the court, and has already begun to plan the time to attack the emperor... how many years will it be ahead of the historical trajectory?

Li Tianqu was in love with this question, and then he thought about it and could probably think about it. Originally, Zhu Wen should have successively annexed Yicheng, Taining, Tianping, Influence, Fengguo, Heyang... and then several vassal states, he would turn his attention to Chang'an again. But Li Tianqu said that it was precisely because of his appearance that he had to change his strategic focus.

After all, the governor of Yicheng Army was not the cowardly and incompetent An Shiru. Therefore, that land was not a vassal state that Zhu Wen could obtain, but was already a tough trick. Because of the threat of Qin Zongquan, he had to work hand in hand with Li Tianqu, but it was also time for the other party to grow and grow;

The original situation of the Heyang army's vassal states should be that after Zhuge Shuang's death, Zhang Quanyi and Li Hanzhi began to fight against each other, and then Zhu Wen and Li Keyong each helped one side to fight, and ended with Zhu Wen's capture of the vassal states.

However, Zhang Quanyi initially joined forces with Li Hanzhi and restored the livelihood of Luoyang and other places, and managed it in an orderly manner... Li Tianqu thought that he had joined his command, and Li Hanzhi's brutal warlord who did evil and harmed the people could almost be compared with Qin Zongquan and Sun Ru, and did not cultivate internal affairs and ruled the storm of Xiazhou Prefecture... Then Zhu Wen took advantage of the situation to expel Li Hanzhi. Before Li Keyong could even go south to support, the Xuanwu army merged with the Heyang army, which was several years earlier than the historical trajectory;

As for Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, Shi Pu, the mortal enemy that he had originally joined forces to deal with was not Zhu Wen, but he was Li Tianqu... Zhu Wen was the friendly army they wanted to win at first... Then Li Keyong would of course not help. He sent troops to support him repeatedly at all costs, forcing his life to prolong the life of Zhu Xuan, Shi Pu and other Jiedushi who had already formed a mortal hatred with Zhu Wen.

As a result, Zhu Wen stood on Zhu Xuan, Shi Pu and others' side turned against each other in the middle, but cooperated with Li Tianqu to turn defense into attack... Zhu Jin did not take down the territory of Taining Army as a reliance. He was brave but not resourceful and finally died early in the battle of Fenghuang Mountain; Ge Cong went to the three states on Friday and quickly destroyed Zhu Xuan with a magical record of cheating;

Without Zhu Xuan, the Zhu Jin brothers attracted Zhu Wen's firepower, and Shi Pu had no time to strengthen the defense systems of various prefectures under his rule. Zhu Wen turned around and joined forces with Li Tianqu to launch a rapid attack. He was caught off guard, so he had no conditions to fight a protracted battle with Xuanwu Army. Li Keyong was busy in the north and there were all the troops who were ordered to attack Emperor Li Ye... Shi Pu could no longer support him. In fact, according to the historical trajectory, Zhu Wen took Xu, Si, Su, Hao and other states. Based on the current time node, it was estimated that it was only one or two years ago.

Of course, Li Tianqu was also very clear that Zhu Xuan and Shi Pu and other warlords were defeated faster, which would inevitably lead to Zhu Wen's plan to attack his former allies again... But he had no choice. Li Tianqu thought that if Zhu Wen's old fox was planning to instigate some forces to attack me, which one could he win over? Is it Yang Xingmi, who was fighting against him and was planning to be an enemy of him? Or is it the ally Wang Shifan, who is now close to me? Or is it still under the military intimidation of Li Keyong and Luo Hongxin, who dared not act rashly to the outside world?

If you don’t find helpers, just rely on your own military strength to attack. Li Tianqu said that with my current strength, I will not be afraid of you, Zhu Wen. Besides, he is very scheming and cannot be able to figure out if he attacks me now... Then Zhu Wen’s old enemy Li Keyong will never miss the opportunity to join forces with the two powerful vassals in the north and the south to form a cross-border attack on him.

So Zhu Wen's north is his most powerful mortal enemy, Li Keyong; he also smiled with Li Tianqu back then. Although his hands were clenched with each other and wanted to stab each other's critical knife, he had to pretend to be a brother; in the south, he would sooner or later, the vassal warlords occupying Jingxiang, such as Zhao Kuangning and Cheng Ne, whom he would also capture sooner or later. Zhu Wen still had to expand his territory, so where could he fight? He could only go west.

After all, it was involved in the emperor being held hostage by warlords. After Li Keyong, Zhu Wen was urging the army to "master the king", so Li Tianqu could not help but discuss military discussions with a group of staff. Luo Yin was still angry and said that Li Maozhen and Han Jian were traitors against the will of heaven and the traitors were defeated. Taking advantage of the slump of the emperor, the rebel ministers dared to rob the country and hold the sage hostage hostage... The fierce words also compared Li Maozhen, Han Jian and others with Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others who held the emperor hostage in the late Han Dynasty and imprisoned the emperor.

In the end, although Han Jian in Huazhou was not like Li Maozhen, he humiliated the emperor in person and bullied him in a desperate manner. He respected Li Ye in a very respectful manner, but Han Jian secretly controlled all the so-called imperial guards. Li Ye had no relatives to use it. Moreover, Han Jian threatened and tempted the emperor to follow the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin and Han dynasties. The Tang court had eleven royal relatives including King Qin, King Yan, King Tong, King Yi, King Peng, King Dan, King Shao, King Chen, King Han, King Ji, King Mu, and others were killed one after another...

However, Luo Yin said indignantly, and suddenly said: "Fortunately, Zhu Jieshuai has raised troops to help the king rescue the emperor. I hope he can threaten Li Maozhen, Han Jian and other thieves to submit and welcome the emperor to Chang'an. I believe that the emperor learned his lesson and knew that Fengxiang, Longyou, Zhenguo and other rioters should not be kept. In the previous period, Li Ke strongly advised Li Maozhen not to be eliminated, and the capital would never be peaceful. Now Zhu Jieshuai has arrived, and he also issued an edict to conquer Li Maozhen and other rioters and traitors who are close to the capital, so that the court can be kept peaceful."

As soon as Luo Yin said this, the reactions of the aides led by Zhang Juhan who supported the Tang Ting faction... were deeply convinced.

...What? Li Tianqu looked at Luo Yin and sighed in his heart that he did not know that according to history, after Zhu Wen killed the emperor and usurped the Tang Dynasty, and bloody royal family and the royal family and the ministers of the court, he would still indignantly advise Qian Liu to go north to attack, and to support and continue the Tang court's destiny. He even compromised and suggested that Qian Liu said, "Even if he did not succeed, he could still retreat to Hangzhou and Yue, and be the Eastern Emperor, but how could he fight for the thief? Is he ashamed of the end of the past!"... But whether it was the Tang Dynasty or the Later Liang Dynasty, Qian Liu of Wu Yue had always adopted the national policy of vassal to the Central Plains dynasty, so Luo Yin had to resign angrily and retire, expressing his traitor Zhu Wen, who was really incompatible with him.

As for the aides of the royalist sect such as Zhang Juhan, Zhu Wen's name to the outside world was Zhu Quanzhong, who was granted by Emperor Xizong at that time... Since he had great contributions to the fight against Huang Chao and destroying Qin Zongquan, they guessed that Zhu Wen often stabbed his allies in the knife and suddenly attacked his evil spirit... Although that guy was cunning and vicious, he often used rogue methods, and even bribed important officials in the court to lure the emperor to attack his arch-rival Li Keyong... But at least for Emperor Tang, "Zhu Quanzhong" should also be a vassal warlord who was hard-core in support of the vassal states...

This is true now. Luo Yin, Zhang Juhan and others will have to wait until Li Ye falls into Zhu Wen's hands before they know that his methods against the emperor will be more sinister than Li Maozhen, Han Jian and others.

Looking around the reactions of the staff in the hall, taking Gao Yu as an example, some civil officials also looked "It's not up to you, I'll hold you high." Li Zhen was amused and showed a sneer on his face; Yan Keqiu frowned slightly, thinking... Now Li Tianqu saw through but didn't say it out loud. He sighed and said:

"Zhu Quanzhong led his army westward through Tongguan, and the vassal states in Zhenguo under Han Jian were not as powerful as Zhu Quanzhong, but they were able to control the position of the emperor, and Li Maozhen was also in communication with him... It is still unknown whether he could be returned to the emperor.

Although our army is too far away from Huazhou, the capital of Zhenguo, and even Chang'an, the capital of Chang'an, we naturally cannot send troops to the outside world, but we naturally have to denounce Li Maozhen, Han Jian and other Jiedu hostage, and they are so ruthless... And Zhu Quanzhong is really going to save the emperor, haha... we must pay close attention to it."
