Since the battle in Luzhou last year, until the end of the new year, the land of Jin has been peaceful.
In recent years, the Khitan in the north has gradually stopped due to successive defeats at the hands of Yan State Liu Shouguang and Jin State, and has no more thoughts of invading the south.
However, the revival of Li and Tang in Guanzhong sent a huge shock wave to the people of Jin.
From a geographical point of view, Jin was the place where the great ancestor Li Yuan made his fortune.
When Emperor Gaozu launched an army against the Sui Dynasty, although he relied on the support of the Guanlong Group in terms of political and financial resources, the military support for his army came from the Jin region. After the great ancestor Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang (now renamed Taiyuan) and started his own hegemony, he also accumulated a large number of soldiers and horses in Jin.
Therefore, the land of Sanjin can be regarded as the land of Longxing in Li Tang.
Although the descendants of the Li and Tang royal families are inevitably dim-witted, it is also inevitable that the people of the three Jin Dynasties still support him to a greater or lesser extent. Moreover, the current King of Jin Li Keyong also had the surname of Li given by Yizong back then.
Therefore, the Jin State has never taken any action against Luoyang, and it has made the people of the three Jin Dynasties talk about it.
It was not until recently that rumors spread that the King of Jin was preparing to unite with the Liang people to conquer Luoyang, and the powder keg was really lit.
It was just a matter of the Tang Dynasty being destroyed before. We can also see which of the princes in the world are strong and weak. As the so-called capable ones are superior, it is not a big deal for everyone to support the King of Jin and proclaim himself emperor. Although he is from the Shatuo tribe, he is still surnamed Li anyway, so it is not a big deal. Big deal.
But now that Li Tang has recovered, even if he just sits on the mountain and watches, how can he join forces with Zhu Liang to denounce Luoyang?
It was only at this time that the advantage of this righteousness appeared. According to the words of later generations, Li Jing had the advantage of public opinion, and he was able to dominate public opinion in just a name...

"The King of Jin rejected the Khitans in the north and attacked Zhu and Wen's rebels in the south. When the late emperor was still alive, the King of Jin fought in the south and north to clear out the rebels for the late emperor. Why can't he become the official leader now?"
A roadside tea stall was opened in a suburb. A big man with thick hair and beard was holding tea in one hand while arguing with several men who had objections to him.
"Now that the King of Qin has conquered most of the capital, it is time to wipe out the world and unify the world. Doesn't King Jin's move cause many wars? It's enough for you and me to suffer, but do you want your children and grandchildren to continue to suffer?"
Several other men disagreed and shook their heads.
From the looks of it, these people are not ordinary farmers, they are the kind of people who have some experience in traveling from north to south. But the saying that walls have ears often means that they only talk a few words when they are excited.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Men from the north don't talk nonsense. When the mood strikes, they might just use some fists.
Therefore, during the dispute between the two parties, the tea stall owner hurriedly tried to persuade them to make peace, fearing that these people would damage his table and stool later.
On the road outside the tea stall, people were coming and going, and people riding horses passed by from time to time. Compared with this scene, it seemed peaceful and tight.
On a tree next to the tea stall, there was a brown horse tied up. It snorted from time to time and looked at the owner of the tea stall who was drinking tea by himself.
He was dressed in a man's military uniform, and his appearance did not look like that of a Han man. The hair on his temples was tied into pigtails and tied back into a ponytail.
However, the snake-shaped pendant between the earlobes adds a bit of unique style.
Bystanders could tell that this was a Shatuo woman, but whether it was the scimitar that this person placed straight on the table or the two tall guards waiting on the roadside, no one dared to get close.
The few men who dared to make irresponsible remarks about King Jin also found their own reasons and left in a hurry after the woman came to the tea stall.
This woman looks a bit like someone from the government, and she doesn't look like a good person.
Besides, he is still a Shatuo person, so it would be best to stay away as soon as possible.
However, this place is a dozen or twenty miles away from Taiyuan, and it is not even under the feet of King Jin, so the sense of awe towards this woman is not that strong.
Everyone is just a pedestrian hurrying back and forth, having a cup of tea and then leaving. We will never see each other again in this life, so no one cares about this.
This woman is Bago.
Since Li Jing's Tongwenguan incident half a year ago, she has been slowly put on the back burner, that is, she has been suspended from her job.
Although it was not her fault, it was because of her that Li Jing was able to sneak into the Tongwen Hall and the Jin army camp and abduct the most trusted actor of His Royal Highness Li Cunxu.
Li Cunli wanted to use her again, but Li Siyuan no longer wanted to use her.
Even though she is from the Shatuo tribe.
Even the plundered men under Bago were dispatched, and those who remained were just some miscellaneous people in Tongwen Hall.
Now, she just hunts and drinks for fun every day.
Even in Taiyuan, Bage rarely goes back.
With Ba Ge's proud temperament, she was really stepped into the ground by Li Jing overnight. She only felt that Li Jing pressed her face to the ground and rubbed it over and over again.
When she was chasing Li Jing, she still couldn't figure out why Li Jing would betray her when she treated him so well.
It wasn't until he learned Li Jing's true identity and met the Miao girl that he finally understood.
That was the time when Bago wanted to kill Li Jing the most.
But now, Bago feels that everything is becoming more and more boring.
Whether it was Li Jing claiming to be King of Qin in Chang'an, the news that the Tang army had attacked Luoyang, or the news that Li Keyong was preparing to send troops to conquer Li Jing, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her.
She knew that she might never have the chance to kill Li Jing with her own hands, which would undoubtedly be a huge blow to a proud woman.
So even if she heard a few people criticizing Li Keyong, she didn't bother to respond.
According to her previous temperament, she would just order people to capture them, tie them to the tail of a horse and drag them for several miles. If they are not dead, they will be released. If they are dead, they will die...
She happened to be planning to go east today. She heard that there were big tigers there, so she planned to go there for a while, and then she rested at this tea stall.
Including his two men, Bago's group was only three people. At this moment, his two men and the horses were waiting in the distance. After Bago drank tea, he was ready to hit the road again.
Bago threw a few coins on the table, picked up the machete on the table and was about to leave, but when he was getting up, he was slightly startled.
I saw two figures riding horses among the pedestrians on the road coming from the south to the north.
Although it was still far away, one of the figures in red looked inexplicably familiar.
Ba Ge had only seen Li Jing's true face when he and Li Siyuan went to the camp of the then empress. At that time, he had forgotten all his demerits, as if they were all engraved in his mind.
Although the figure is slightly shorter than Li Jing, the appearance is exactly the same!
However, the purple-clothed girl next to him is not the Miao girl.
