King Jiannan!
This is undoubtedly an extremely generous reward.
Throughout the ages, general princes have been the ultimate goal pursued by ministers, let alone kings, how illustrious they are.
This is absolutely the ultimate form of a human being.
This will also be the first king with a different surname to be awarded a reward since Li Longji ascended the throne in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Bai Yuxian will also become the only king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty.
When the imperial edict of the award reached Chengdu, the entire Chengdu was instantly shocked and discussed, especially the Jiedushi Palace where Bai Yuxian lived.
After all, this is the title of king. With such splendor and splendor, who would be unhappy.
To be honest, Bai Yuxian couldn't help feeling a little happy when he got the news.
Even though Bai Yuxian had long been prepared to rebel and seize the world, it was definitely a joyful thing to be rewarded by the king before he rebelled.
After all, Wang Jue's status means he has more face when he goes out. From now on, people who call him Bai Yuxian will also call him Wangye.
"This Li Wang is quite a bit wealthy."
But Bai Yuxian also knew that Li Wang was trying to win over and appease him. After all, the current world situation meant that both Li Wang and Datang couldn't lack him, Bai Yuxian.
If Li Wang lacks his Bai Yuxian, Li Wang's throne may not be stable.
And if the Tang Dynasty lacks Bai Yuxian, then the entire Li Tang Dynasty may not be able to be saved.
After all, whether it is Taiping Road or Anlu Mountain, only Bai Yuxian in the court can resist it.
Therefore, Li Wang did not hesitate to use the prince's heavy reward to appease and win over Bai Yuxian.
But deep down in Li Wang's heart, he must have been extremely wary of him and held great hostility, but for the sake of the overall situation, he was able to suppress the hostility in his heart and did not hesitate to use the prince's heavy reward to win over and appease him.
This shows that whether it is the overall situation or the city's government, Li Wangdu still has it.
If it were placed in the past peaceful and prosperous times, Li Wang might not be able to become an outstanding emperor if he ascended the throne.
But unfortunately, with the current situation in the world, the Tang Dynasty will surely perish. Unless Li Wang has the absolute strength to suppress everything, all other abilities and means will be in vain.
And Li Wang's purpose is actually very obvious.
Because in addition to conferring a royal title on Bai Yuxian, Li Wang's imperial edict also had an order, which was to order Bai Yuxian to immediately lead troops to put down the rebellion.
"Li Wang's plan must be to appease him. He will first use his position as king to appease his husband and use him to deal with Taiping Dao and Anlu Mountain. If he helps him eradicate Taiping Dao and Anlu Mountain in the future and pacify the world, then he will It must be Li Wang’s first target.”
Li Mi also guessed Li Wang's thoughts just like Bai Yuxian, and immediately reminded Bai Yuxian of the way.
"Um."
Bai Yuxian also smiled and nodded when he heard this.
"What the lady said is true, but I know this matter well, so there is no need to worry."
"I don't know how my husband plans to deal with it next."
"Now that Li Wang is the emperor, in addition to naming me the King of Jiannan, he also ordered me to send troops to wipe out the rebellion as soon as possible. Since it is the emperor's order, I, Bai Yuxian, must obey the order. I want to lead the army in three days to go to Shannan to wipe out the rebellion. The Way of Peace.”
"But the leader of Taiping Dao, Li Su, is as powerful as me. I don't know how long it will take to clear Taiping Dao."
In a nutshell.
I, Bai Yuxian, accepted this imperial edict, received the reward from the king, and will definitely comply with the order to send troops. Three days later, I will immediately lead the troops to pacify Taiping Road again, but how long it will take to pacify Taiping Road is unknown. After all, everyone in the world knows how powerful Taiping Dao is, and Bai Yuxian is not invincible.
Moreover, Bai Yuxian believes that if he sends troops to deal with Taiping Dao again, An Lushan, who has just established Dayan and proclaimed himself emperor in the capital, will definitely not be able to sit still. At that time, he will definitely choose to wipe out Li Wang and others waiting in Shuofang as soon as possible. The remaining forces of Li Tang unified the north. In this case, he could sit on the mountain and watch the fight between Bai Yuxian and Li Su before the winner was decided.
Otherwise, if Anlushan has not completely eliminated Li Tang's unification of the north by the time Bai Yuxian and Li Su decide the winner, Anlushan will not have such a good advantage.
To put it bluntly, Li Wang's edict for Bai Yuxian to immediately go out to quell the chaos was completely his own reminder.
In fact, Bai Yuxian himself has been considering whether to take the initiative to send troops to perform a show with Li Su to put some pressure on An Lushan.
Unexpectedly, Li Wang sent the assist himself.
What a good man.
Sure enough, there are still many good people in this world.
Li Mi's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Bai Yuxian's words, and she also heard the hidden meaning in Bai Yuxian's words.
If Bai Yuxian continues to lead his troops to fight Taiping Road, An Lushan will definitely be unable to sit still and will send troops to Shuofang to deal with Li Wang and others, hoping to completely overthrow Li Tang.
And with the current power of Shuofang Li Wang and others, their apparent supernatural powers were only supported by Wang Zhongsi, so they could never be An Lushan's opponent.
If An Lushan really eliminates Li Wang and others, then their husband Bai Yuxian in Jiannan will be able to fight for the world on his own in the name of suppressing the rebellion.
As long as Li Wang and others are gone, then the Tang Dynasty and Jiannan will be the legitimate ones.
On the same day, Bai Yuxian also summoned all the civil and military ministers under his command in the Chengdu government office hall, and then announced the imperial edict and his decision to send troops to Shannan to attack Taiping Road again.
Then he ordered the general to give instructions.
"Zhong Wu, Si Ye, for this expedition, I will appoint you two as deputy generals of the army. We will mobilize troops and horses to prepare and set off in three days."
"promise."
Gao Shi and Li Siye immediately accepted their orders.
"Chang Qing, Taiping Dao now occupies Shannan, Henan, and Huainan. If you want to continue to expand, apart from Jiannan, we can only attack Hebei, Hedong, Guannei, Jiangnan, and Qianzhong."
"However, the three places of Hebei, Hedong and Guannei are basically occupied by Anlu Mountain. There must be some agreements between Anlu Mountain and Taiping Dao, so Taiping Dao will definitely not attack these three places, so only Jiangnan and central Guizhou."
"But with Pei Shijun in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no need to worry too much. Only in central Guizhou, there are neither top generals nor many troops. If Taiping Road wants to take central Guizhou, it will probably be taken out of pocket, so I want to I will send you to lead the Tiance Army to central Guizhou to assist the Central Guizhou Army and defend the Taiping Road. You are willing to go."
Bai Yuxian looked at Feng Changqingdao again.
Of course, although he said he wanted Feng Changqing to lead the Tiance Army to central Guizhou to assist the Central Guizhou Army in defending Taiping Road, he actually wanted Feng Changqing to take advantage of the situation and capture central Guizhou first.
In this way, as long as Bai Yuxian takes central Guizhou, plus the Jiangnan area where his father-in-law Pei Min is located, and the Henan, Huainan, and Shannan areas occupied by Taiping Road, then the seven southern areas of the Tang Dynasty will directly come into his hands, leaving only one. Lingnan.
As for the last Lingnan, if Bai Yuxian wanted to win it, he would naturally have to search for something.
In this case, as long as Li Tang is completely eliminated by An Lushan, he can immediately take over the entire south without any effort, and then have the final north-south decisive battle with An Lushan.
Feng Changqing naturally knew what Bai Yuxian meant, so he agreed without any hesitation.
"I will obey your orders!"
Make arrangements like this.
Three days later, Gao Shi, Li Siye, and Feng Changqing set off with the Jiannan Army and Tiance Army respectively.
Gao Shi and Li Siye led the Jiannan Army to Shannan.
Feng Changqing led the Tiance army to central Guizhou.
Bai Yuxian himself did not leave with him, and even had tea with Li Su in private.
Because if he sends troops now, he is just showing off to the world.
At the same time, father-in-law Han Su and the entire Han family finally arrived in Jiannan.
There are also friends such as Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Du Fu, Wang Yanlin, Song Xiuwen and others.
After Han Su came to Jiannan and settled everything in the mansion arranged by Bai Yuxian, he and Li Linfu got together in private.
"Brother Han."
"Brother Li."
"In the past, you and I worked together in the imperial court in the capital. Nowadays, personnel have changed and old friends have faded away. But now you and I can reunite as old friends and work together again. It is really a great joy in life."
"Haha, what Brother Li said is true. Things in the world have changed, and old friends have withered away. It is really a joy in life to have an old friend like Brother Li in Jiannan today."
When the two met, each other was filled with emotions and very happy.
After all, we used to work together in the capital court for many years and were allies and old friends of the same camp. Now that the world is in chaos and personnel changes, most of the old friends and acquaintances we used to know have disappeared. Under such circumstances, there are still one or two like this in this Jiannan land. It is indeed rare to have old friends who know each other well and can talk to each other.
At the same time that Han Su and Li Linfu met, Bai Yuxian also met Li Chunfeng.
