Chapter 223

Qingzhou City.

In a huge palace, Cao Chuan, the king of Zhao, invited dozens of literati and military generals to discuss business.

"King, our spies in Luoyang reported that Li Xian returned to Luoyang, killed Wu Sansi, slaughtered the Wu family, Wu Zetian abdicated, and Li Xian ascended the throne." A literary official.

"King, what shall we do now?"

In fact, most of these officials have a kind of obsession with the Tang Dynasty. They don't want to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty. The rule of the Tang Dynasty for nearly a hundred years is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"King, I think we can admit that Li Dan is the king of the world. I believe Li Dan is very willing to admit his position as king."

A minister continued.

"King, now Turks, xuantu, Silla and other countries have moved troops to the Tang Dynasty. Turks, in particular, have sent hundreds of thousands of troops, which will surely be able to hold down the main force of the Tang army. If we have to work hard to win Henan and Hebei, great things can be achieved."

A counsellor said with a smile.

In his view, now Luoyang city is extremely empty. There is only one leopard guard army to guard it. Li Xian can't send troops to attack the four kingdoms. Now his biggest enemy is Turks.

Once the Turks go south, it will be a disaster for the whole world.

King Zhao, King Xiangyang and other vassals can not care, but Li Xian and the imperial court can not care?

Once the Turks really went south, burned, killed and looted, and committed all kinds of crimes, it would be a great blow to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Once the people did not trust the imperial court, then their vassal kings would have a chance to fight for the world.

But how did they know that what Li Xian always believed in was that the first thing to do is to settle down inside.

Li Xian clearly knew that if the four great vassals in the Tang Dynasty were not removed, there would be no real peace in the world.

History tells Li Xian that all the vassal kings must be removed. In the Han Dynasty, the rebellion of the Huainan kings and the seven kings was even more terrible in the Jin Dynasty. Almost every year, vassal kings made trouble.

The rebellion of Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty directly led to the demise of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xian would certainly kill this kind of turmoil in the cradle.

King Zhao nodded. He knew that he had no choice at that moment.

No matter Li Xian, Yi or Li Dan, they can't tolerate him, but Li Dan has to support himself on the surface now, because Li Dan has become emperor.

More importantly, there is no direct conflict of interest between Cao Chuan and Li Dan.

As time goes on, Cao Chuan's mood is getting better and better. In just a few days, Cao Chuan received more than ten good news, and Cao Jun won many county seats.

But the next news was that Cao Chuan was a little bit shocked.

Li Xian sent out troops and led 80000 elite Bao Taowei troops to Qingzhou. Cao Chuan was shocked at the moment.

At this time, Li Xian even dared to send troops. He was not afraid of the king of Huainan and Xiangyang entering Luoyang?

"It is said that the army is gathering in Qingzhou. Gu wants to let Li Xian know that Gu is not a soft persimmon."

Cao Chuan roared.

In Cao Chuan's eyes, Li Xian's first choice to attack himself was obviously to regard himself as a soft persimmon. In this case, Cao Chuan must take practical actions to tell Li Xian that he will make Li Xian regret his decision.

Ten days later, the Tang army led by Li Xian advanced all the way to Qingzhou. There was little resistance along the way. Gradually, the army also arrived at the foot of Qingzhou City.

Li Xian also knew that Cao Chuan wanted to fight the Tang army under Qingzhou City. After all, Qingzhou City was Cao Chuan's territory for more than ten years.

Zhao Wang Fu.

"Your Majesty, Li Xian has led a large army to the bottom of the city. Our chance is here."

"King, your strategy is very good. Now all the Tang army are arrogant. It seems that they really think they are invincible. When they really fight with us, they will know our strength."

Pride is sure to defeat.

This is Cao Chuan's strategy. Now the Tang army has won more than ten wars in a row. They feel that they can be fearless and win any victory.

At this time, Cao Jun's chance came. Once the Tang army was overconfident and conceited, they would have to fail and destroy.

"King, I suggest you send an envoy to see Li Xian. As long as Li Xian agrees to grant the whole Henan Road to King, we can become ministers of the Tang Dynasty."

"Well, that's very good. Li Xian won't agree. At that time, we became famous."

The Tang army has set up camp and is waiting to attack the city tomorrow. ..
