Chapter 303 The demise of another force, you are not the material for hegemony
Zhu Wen still doesn't know that if he really wants to attack Li Tianqu, a series of plans deployed by him will be activated immediately. However, Zhu Wen defeated Li Keyong and brought Hezhong under his rule. Now he has the strength to be the leader in separating the vassal states in various parts of the world.
The reason why Zhu Wen was able to quickly annex the northwest towns was behind him that Jing Xiang, the chief adviser who had never liked military affairs but was indeed capable of Wang Zuo, handled the political affairs of the rear, sorted out the staffing of the various departments at all levels in the vassal states, and quickly stabilized the local area with his talent in governing the world, which did play an important role.
As Zhu Wen became stronger, the first thing that felt great pressure was that Gu Yanhui, the governor of Dongchuan, had just destroyed the two rivers, and Wang Jian, who unified the two rivers. He immediately sent troops and controlled the important roads into Shu. After all, Shu was difficult and difficult to reach the sky. No matter how strong Zhu Wen was, if he really wanted to look for Shu, he would definitely be difficult to fight to the west, and it would be very likely that he would lose his troops and generals in vain.
Even if Zhu Wen held Li Ye and appointed King Jian as King Xiping, he was definitely not a fool. If he should be granted, he would be granted a title and was very polite to the envoys sent by Zhu Wen. However, he sent troops to control the seal and seal the key passes into Shu and did not relax his vigilance at all. Send envoys, you can come, but if you find Liang troops appearing on the dangerous plank road entering Shu, you will definitely greet him to death...
You Zhu Quanzhong and I are scheming, as if no one is scheming.
But even if Zhu Wen had no choice but to Wang Jian in the short term, he still had a large area of vassal state that could be annexed. In the Taining Army's side of Xiaqiu, Yanzhou, Li Tianqu soon learned the war report from the west. The vassal state under the target Zhu Wen targeted was really unbearable for the battle. The Jiedushi couldn't hold on for long and was defeated by the fierce attack of the elite troops under Zhu Wen's command. He had lost his territory. However, he ran away with a light boat, but along the way, he took the initiative to come to join Li Tianqu...
Zhao Kuangning, the governor of Shandong Dongdao, must have lost the original trajectory many years earlier. After all, Zhu Wen was eager to become emperor and wanted to expand his territory as soon as possible. However, Li Tianqu was in charge of several vassal states, and it was difficult to obtain them for a period of time. He successively annexed the vassals of the northwest. When Zhu Wen turned around, he found that the territory under Zhao Kuangning was not only relatively broad in territory, but also easy to fight...
What's more, this kid is the most ignorant of being polite. He always advocates helping Tang Zhong to the emperor without any trouble. Zhu Wenxin said that he has been disliked by you for a long time.
Zhao Kuangning, who escaped, was taken to Yanzhou. When Li Tianqu met with him personally, he saw that the governor whose foundation was taken away by others was indeed as recorded in history. He was born with a majestic appearance, but his face was full of bitterness and grudges... When he saw Li Tianqu, although he had to rely on others in the future, Zhao Kuangning bowed and said, "Thank you, Jieshuai, to take over." However, from his expression, he did not show much enthusiasm. The expression seemed to be saying:
You are willing to take me in, thank you first. As for how to settle me, you can do it as you please...
Li Tianqu returned the favor and comforted him, but he still scratched his head. Regarding the monarch of the vassal states in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, Li Tianqu asked himself that based on his understanding of history, he could roughly guess the nature of many people. However, Zhao Kuangning in front of him... Li Tianqu felt that this person had a very personality because he often didn't know what he thought.
Although his forces were defeated earlier than the original trajectory, he heard that Zhao Kuangning and his brother were separated when they fled, and his brother Zhao Kuangming fled west into Shu. Zhao Kuangning also fled to the direction of Guangling, Yangzhou according to his original trajectory. However, the Huainan Military District has not controlled Yang Xingmi, but has fallen into Li Tianqu's hands. So he went around and turned to Xiaqiu, Yanzhou.
Zhao Kuangning's father Zhao Deqian followed the generals under the command of Qin Zongquan, the great devil king Qin Zongquan, and then occupied the vassal states in the east of Shannan. Later, when Qin Zongquan saw his defeat, Zhao Deqian surrendered to Zhu Wen, which could probably be regarded as a vassal force of the Xuanwu Army. However, Zhao Kuangning not only liked reading poetry and books, but was very knowledgeable, but also regarded himself as a loyal minister in the Tang court, and repeatedly made trouble for Zhu Wen.
According to historical records, Li Keyong's general Li Chengsi and Shi Yan were trapped in Yang Xingmi, intending to pass through the territory under Zhao Kuangning's control and borrow the road from Shannan East Road. However, in this way, he would inevitably pass through the Xuanwu Army, where Zhu Wen's power is... Zhao Kuangning was immediately attacked by the Liang army and was so scared that he asked for reconciliation. Zhu Wen spared this time. As a result, after killing Emperor Li Ye, Zhao Kuangning's strategic situation was obviously the greatest threat to the Liang army's military, but he cried and said to the envoy, "I am deeply grateful to Tang's envy, and I dare not have ambitions."...
How to deal with it? Is this going to cause trouble under my nose?
Zhu Wen then no longer planned to retain this subordinate force and directly sent troops to swallow the east of Shannan Road. Zhao Kuangning had to run east. After all, Yang Xingmi and Zhu Wen were as powerful as fire. Seeing that Zhao Kuangning had a lot of foundation by his mortal enemy, he respected courtesy very much. Originally, Zhao Kuangning was calm and low-key, at least with Nan Wu as his backer, he would probably have a good end in his life.
As a result, Zhao Kuangning didn't know why, when Yang Xingmi's son Yang Wo held a banquet and ate the green plums he liked to eat, Zhao Kuangning said in person, "Don't eat too much, you will get hot in your children"...
Yang Xingmi's eldest son Yang Wo was arrogant and arrogant, and the one he disliked most in his life was to rely on his seniority and seniority, so he had a very disagreement with the veterans who followed him to build a country. As a result, an outsider who was living under someone else said that he was a child... Yang Wo could not be furious? As a result, Zhao Kuangning was demoted elsewhere, but later he couldn't stand Xu Wen's monopoly of power and undermining the Yang family. He was excited again, and he wanted to do something, and he would not be able to be killed in the end...
This guy is really too personal. Or, he also has his own persistence and is stubborn, but no matter what, Zhao Kuangning is obviously not the leader of Jianye's battle for hegemony, and maybe he didn't want to be him.
Li Tianqu thought in his heart, and soon saw Zhao Kuangning standing still with a stern hand, looking at this side quietly... Li Tianqu coughed gently and then said:
"Zhao Jieshuai, you and I are both governors who are in charge of a vassal state, so I will treat you well. According to Zhao Jieshuai's intention, if you don't want to be idle, what kind of duty will you plan to take charge?"
After hearing this, Zhao Kuangning frowned slightly, then sighed and said, "Zhao was displaced and moved, and was a lost family. Fortunately, Li Jieshuai was taken in by Li Jieshuai, how dare you ask for it? But if you have any idleness, it is all up to Jieshuai."
Yes, the same thing. How can I settle down, do you just do it... Li Tianqu couldn't help but shake his head and smile. After thinking for a moment, he said again:
"Ah, yes, I heard that Brother Zhao likes to read a lot of books the most and cannot put them down. I am also opening a college under my rule to open a road to keeping collections. Among them, many things such as proofreading, printing and binding, copying and editing, recording and collection will be carried out. As the scale becomes larger in the future, there will be a capable person who will take care of them..."
Um!?
Zhao Kuangning, who was originally full of sorrow, suddenly his eyes lit up when he heard this. The vassal states in the east of Shandong were not protected. Zhu Wen would not tolerate him a few more times, but had sent troops to seize his territory. This certainly made Zhao Kuangning reluctant to leave. However, what made him, a book collector in the late Tang Dynasty, even more painful was that his forces were defeated too quickly and the pursuit was very urgent, so it was not convenient to carry all the furniture. Therefore, the thousands of volumes of classics collected in the mansion were probably going to fall into the hands of Liang Jun. Zhao Kuangning felt blood in his heart. It was a pity for these days, so when he met Li Tianqu today, he was still listless.
However, at this moment, Zhao Kuang looked as if he had seen the latest toy child. He heard Li Tianqu say:
"... And the commander of the Ziqing Army of Ziqing Army, Wang Shifan has always been friends with me. He is very fond of Confucianism. He opened a school in Qingzhou District, and appointed Confucian scholars to collect tens of thousands of volumes of books. He hired students to organize and manage books. Under my rule, the Taining Army and Ziqing Army are convenient for communication. If Brother Zhao is interested, he can also go to Qingzhou Academy for free to ask for a borrowing. Haha... Brother Zhao and Wang Shifan are both talented people who love books. I believe they are in a good manner, but Brother Zhao is a governor. If you are appointed like this, I am afraid that you will be neglected..."
When Zhao Kuangning heard this, he immediately became anxious. He quickly waved his hands back and forth, and then he was very excited to express his grace to Li Tianqu and said:
"Unforgiving talent! Don't neglect! Zhao was originally a general in charge of the charity of the emperor, and he was grateful to him. Now he has to be appointed like this again... I am grateful to the lord for his kindness!"
