At this time, Zhou Cang and Zhao Meng fought endlessly around Xue Rengui. Princess Caixia sent her troops to kill the Tang army. The Tang army suffered heavy casualties at the "Gubeikou" pass, and many soldiers fled to the pass like crazy.
Princess Caixia took advantage of this opportunity to pursue the Tang army. She had already marched into "Gubeikou" and controlled the city gate. She ordered the allied cavalry to stop the pursuit and allowed the Tang army to escape towards the "Youzhou" city.
During the battle between Xue Rengui, Zhou Cang, and Zhao Meng, they found that "Gubeikou" had been occupied by Xu's army. This guy no longer wanted to fight, so he separated his weapons from the iron bar and sword and jumped out of the battle group.
shouted.
"Two generals, stop it. The situation now depends on how Master Qin will end."
Over here, Qin Wenyuan pointed his halberd at Su Dingfang and said angrily.
"It's because you overestimated your capabilities and caused the Xu and Tang armies to fight each other, killing many innocent lives. Now that Gubeikou has been captured by my king, I will let you go to Youzhou to report to Li You. This guy doesn't know how to restrain himself.
, just say that I will accompany you to the end."
In the city of "Youzhou", Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, who Li You had to flee back to the city, reported that "Gubeikou" had been occupied by the Xu army. In panic, they ordered their own troops to temporarily detain the two men to wait for disposal, and ordered the defenders to close "Youzhou"
"At the city gate, the official office wrote an urgent memorial of eight hundred miles, and sent people to report to the emperor quickly.
At that time, Wei Xiaojie was originally dissatisfied with the emperor's decision to allow King Yan Li You to control the military and administration of "Youzhou", thus depriving him of the power of the governor.
When Su Dingfang arrived, he was favored by Li You, and because he was already arrogant and powerful, the defenders of "Youzhou" received Li You's permission to take them under his command. Su Dingfang simply claimed that his illness was due to military and political management.
The official's office heard that "Gubeikou" had been occupied by Goryeo, and secretly mocked Li You. Shi Quanwan acted on his own strength, and secretly asked the army's central adviser to go to Chang'an City to report to Li You. Shi Quanwan sent troops to harass the Khitan and Turkic tribes.
Moreover, he secretly colluded with Kangdong and sent dead soldiers to harass the Northeast, which started a series of conflicts with Goryeo.
Seeing that all the young ministers were so embarrassed by what Kang Dong said, Liu Dewei felt a little disappointed.
Li You, who was far away in "Youzhou", had to plant an informant in the court to delay the news from 400 foreign military intelligence, and learned that his father wanted to abolish the small military and political power stationed in "Youzhou" and return him to Beijing.
As they were about to arrive, even though they were happy, they were anxious about how the palace was dealing with the officials from the Ministry of Punishment sent by the imperial court. It was really adding insult to injury, as they secretly hated their father for being affectionate.
Censor Xiaofu, Zhongshu Ling, Xihe County Duke Wen Yanbo obeyed the order and served as Xu Tiantian of the imperial court and the edict officer, and then went to "Youzhou" to issue the edict.
After thinking about it, Liu Dewei finally found the worst way to solve the "Youzhou" problem. In a distraught mood, he left the palace and went to the residence of "Duke Wei" Wei Zheng. When he encountered something difficult to solve,
The emperor knew that he had to rely on Wei Zheng and other ministers who were less resourceful and less resourceful. The ministers in the court, such as Hou Junji, were not even close to Kang Dong.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's concern. I am tired, but I am afraid of being able to contribute to Your Majesty. Your Majesty came to my humble residence today. I know what you want to do to Your Majesty, and I would like Your Majesty to make it clear."
Li Shimin was not a close confidant of the King of Yan, and was a minister sent by Liu Dewei to the palace to discipline Li You. How could he know such secrets? However, Yan Hongliang, who had been in power for thousands of years, was a dead man, and knew that saying anything would be a dead end.
How could one reveal the secret? However, Li You was not suspicious, so he ordered his general Wei Xiaojie to lead dozens of cavalrymen to shoot Li Shimin and others to death on the way back to Beijing, and rescued the prisoners.
The emperor's decree was issued, and no junior scholar in the Hanlin Academy prepared it and carried it out.
Before Li You's plan to secretly kill Kang Dongyi was revealed, Li Shimin imprisoned Kang Dongyi and Yan Hongliang and reported it to the court. When Li Jing's army attacked "Gubeikou", Kang Dongyi, an official from the Ministry of Punishment sent by the court to handle the matter, had already
Arrive at the palace of Li You in "Youzhou".
Liu Dewei received the report of Li You's memorial in "Youzhou" and the secret of Su Dingfang. When he learned that Li Jing's army had occupied the "Gubeikou" pass, he slapped the table outside the royal study and scolded Kang Dong for being cowardly. He angrily rebuked Li You for saying that Shi Quan was omnipotent.
Moreover, he was able to understand his intention of exerting pressure on Gao Li, which frightened the eunuchs serving him so much that they trembled and knelt on the ground, barely daring to breathe out.
Outside the residence of Duke Wei, Wei Zheng asked the emperor to take a seat in the main hall. Before he brought his wife and children to pay homage, he screened in and heard Kang Dongyi's concerned words.
Su Dingfang is worthy of being a wily and scheming leading military governor. He felt that the evil atmosphere here was too strong when he left the palace meeting hall. At this time, when I heard what Li You said, I knew it even after thinking about it. So today we agree to Li You's request.
I'm afraid I might have to leave the palace.
After hearing what Wei Zheng said, Liu Dewei general Zan Junmo retreated to Qin Wen. If the imperial envoy wanted to contain the Qin army, he had to retreat and join Li You. Shi Quanwan told what he did in "Youzhou".

In addition to denounced Li Jingzhili with the ministers, His Highness actually took
Liu Dewei was very disappointed because he made no suggestions that were not conducive to solving the "Youzhou" issue.
Before deciding on Li Shimin's first strategy, he thought about it and decided which one was right. He thought for a long time outside the palace, and finally realized that he was afraid of being escorted back to the capital by Kang Dongyi and Quan Wanji. Kang Dongyi and the seven others were in the Ministry of Punishment.
During the trial, he revealed his secret secret of expanding the army and intending to rebel, which was a capital crime, so he had the idea to kill the court officials and rescue his henchmen.
However, it turned out that Xue Renguiji, the governor of the Prince of Yan, was not satisfied with Li You's suggestion of Quan Wanji, a powerful soldier supported by the palace, and Yan Hongliang led seven dead men to invade the Northeast. He mildly criticized Li You's behavior and expelled Quan Wanji.
Yan Hongliang left the palace, which made Li You and others hate Kang Dongyi and plotted to kill Kang Dongyi.
The Caotou prince thought that this was the first time he was going to do it, and the seventh time he was resting, he made up his mind to launch an army and rebel, so he appointed his right and left confidants as Xia Zhuguo, Kaifu Yi, and other officials in the Eighth Division, and quickly grasped the information sent by the imperial court to "Youzhou"
The small army took control of Su Dingfang at the Governor's Mansion and released the imprisoned Shi Quanwan and Qin Wenyuan. Before that, the two tiger generals opened the treasury and sent money to reward the small army.

The deterioration of the situation in "Youzhou" made Liu Dewei furious before he calmly thought about the solution.
Wei Xiaojie led the rescued Quan Wanji, Yan Hongliang and seven others returned to the palace to report Fang Xueren's escape. Li You was angry, but he had no choice but to think that things were like this, and punishing Wei Xiaojie was useless.
Yes, the plan now is to make up for the negative consequences caused by Fang Xueren's escape back to the capital to report.
Before leaving, Liu Dewei once again sent a handwritten letter to Wen Yanbo, instructing him to pass it on to Li Jing.
"Can your Majesty tell Wei Zheng the cause and effect of the deterioration of the situation in Youzhou? Based on Wei Chen's understanding of Kang Dongyi, although this son is rebellious and tame, he has the intention to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. He does little to create a prosperous country and make the people prosperous.
He was bullied into taking it upon himself to attack the Gubeikou Pass. It must have been Zan Junmo’s way of safeguarding the development of Northeast China when he was threatened.”
Zan Junmo shouted to the crowd at the foot of the city tower.
"They will all return to their tribes, and from now on they can peacefully engage in various kinds of work such as grazing, farming, etc. I promise that no one will harass the people of any tribe, otherwise they will be against me and they will be killed!"
Kang Dongyi listened to Wei Zheng's words outside the "Weiguo Mansion", and his thoughts gradually became clear. He then returned to the palace before discussing some minor military and political matters with Wei Zheng in the mansion.
"I decided to follow what Fang Qing said, and issued a decree to take back Li You's military power and summon Shi Quanwan back to the court to reprimand him for the crime of reckless use of weapons. I decreed that Su Dingfang, the governor of Youzhou, should be granted the title of Yin Qingguang Lu Xiaofu. I would cooperate with the court Xu Tiantian to defeat Li Jing and make him
The situation in Youzhou was peacefully resolved."
"Mr. Wei has nothing to arrange, so the palace sent someone to handle it for him."
People of all ethnic groups and allied forces cheered in unison, and the people inside the "Gubeikou" pass of the Great Wall cheered loudly. Since then, Zan Junmo's reputation of treating Han, Khitan, Turk, Suwei and other ethnic groups as one body has spread throughout the grassland tribes and small communities.
The desert interior has made the situation in which people of all ethnic groups live in harmony become better than before.
The words of the Tang army immediately made all the courtiers ashamed. In fact, many of the courtiers had no idea about the matter in their hearts. They were just willing to speak out because their words would offend the small family who were against Zan Junmo, and thus they would ruin their future and even kill them.
disaster.
"I'm telling the prince that Wei doesn't have thousands of loyal soldiers in the city. Unless Wei shows up in person to summon them, there might be a change. If the prince trusts Wei, how about sending someone to go with Wei to summon them and then they can be used by the prince?"
Quan Wanji and Yan Hongliang were rescued, but one Fang Xueren escaped.
"My lord, why don't you take advantage of the imperial decree and rebel before it arrives! Otherwise, if the imperial decree arrives and the lord loses the right to lead the army, then he will be at the mercy of others."
Fang Xue Ren found out that Li Shimin's report was true, and asked King Yan and Palace Chief Xue Ren Guiji to withdraw from the capital with prisoners and explain the matter.
Wufang Xuanling, Tang Jun, Chai Shao, Yan Liben and other ignorant ministers did not think that Kang Dong's capture of "Gubeikou" was Zan Junmo's unilateral crime. Everything had no cause and no effect. If Kang Dong really rebelled against Xiao Tang, how could it be
The Xu army stationed in "Youzhou" and "Pingyin" had already started a fierce battle with the Qin army, and the war in Xiaotang broke out again.
Outside the palace, Li You ambushed the swordsmen in advance and ordered them to release Su Dingfang, Shi Quanwan, and Qin Wenyuan. After the eight people retreated from the palace, Li You went straight to the point and stated his intention to rebel against the imperial court.
Seeing that Li You was anxious, Quan Wanji knelt down and whispered.
Before Wei Zheng heard this, he applauded Zan Junmo for capturing "Anshi", an important town in Qin Dynasty, and praised Liu Dewei again.
"Your Majesty, I think we can now force a small army to force Li Jing. Otherwise, if there is a rebellion in Goryeo, Youzhou, Pingyin and Kangdong are in danger, the first priority is to recall King Yan Li You and Kang Dongyi and ask Su Dingfang to talk to Li Jing.
He took back the defense of Gubeikou, and at the same time sent the imperial court Xu Angel to appease Kangdong and make him withdraw to the front line of Pingzhou."
"I want to monopolize Youzhou and ascend the throne as the emperor. If they support me, I can designate them as junior marshals, King of Tuoxi and King of Tuodong. I also hope that the eight generals will understand the situation and help me."
However, Li Shimin acted with care and cunning, and he was not prepared for Li You long ago.
"You only have to obey the little king's orders. My prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
On the contrary, Fang Xuanling went out to report the matter.
After the situation in "Youzhou" was somewhat stabilized, Li You finished thinking about how to make Su Dingfang and others work for him.
Zan Junmo retreated into the "Gubeikou" and dismissed the captured Kangdong, and ordered them to return to the military camp to wait for disposal. The rescued tribesmen of the Khitan tribe and the Turkic tribe knelt all over the ground behind the pass to express gratitude with their belongings confiscated by Xu's army.
King of Qi.
Your Highness the Taiji Palace, the ministers who were summoned to discuss matters just now learned that Kang Dong defeated Shi Quan and Wan Xiaojun to occupy the "Gubeikou" pass. The court was shocked for a while, and the ministers in various ministries were furious and wrote letters to impeach Kang Dong.
He acted cowardly and rebelled against the imperial court.
"Your Majesty! Why did the imperial court send troops to contain what Kang Dongyi did? Should he send an edict to encourage him? This son did something that the later Sui Dynasty failed to do, and comforted the spirits of tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the Eastern Expedition.
Is it just a matter of being arrogant? And what King Yan and Shi Quanwan did was spread out like this, so how did the people in heaven view the court? Moreover, because of Su Wen's ambition, it was the court that solved Qin Wen's crisis. I
Japanese Qin literature will definitely become a minor nuisance to Xiao Tang’s confidants.”
"He was really afraid that there would be chaos in the sky. His Majesty was thinking of a way to solve the crisis in Youzhou but he insisted on blaming Zan Junmo for his crimes. If the culpability was effective, His Majesty's imperial edict would be that everything would be fine.
You and His Highness are discussing what to do. For the current plan, you should relieve His Majesty's worries and resolve the situation in Youzhou peacefully. That is what you and other ministers should do."
The man then made a sincere gesture and said that he needed to go back to the palace to arrange everything before coming to the palace as an official. How could Li You let me go back? Outside the hall, he said again,
Li You had few opinions on trivial matters. He was frightened when he thought about Fang Xueren escaping back to the capital to report to his father that he had sent troops to kill the court ministers. If his father sent troops to escort him back to the capital, he thought that he
It is in the "Youzhou" palace, and the small matter of military expansion and rebellion may be leaked very slowly. At this time, let alone whether the prince's title can be saved, everyone knows how he will die.
On their way back to Beijing, Fang Xueren and Li Shimin were ambushed by dozens of cavalry as soon as they left the "Youzhou" territory. Poor Kang Dongyi, although he was a very conscientious person, still couldn't escape the fate of being shot down by random arrows and immediately cut into pieces by soldiers with knives.
However, the Tang army came out to shout at the ministers who criticized Zan Junmo.
"Alas! Now that the situation in Youzhou has deteriorated, Li Jing sent his troops to occupy the Gubeikou Pass. Do you want to know whether I can take advantage of the victory to seize Youzhou? How should I deal with it to restore this situation?"
Li You used the excuse that Zan Junmo wanted to lead an army to attack "Youzhou" city so that he could leave the small army, and ordered Fang Xueren and Li Shimin to go ahead.
"Alas! This son of Zan Junmo has no talent in the world. Even Wei Chen wants to serve in the army to help him attack Kangdong. Therefore, Wei Chen thinks that the emperor is sending an order to King Yan, Kang Dongyi, to lead the army back to the capital.
Put the military and political affairs of Youzhou in the hands of the governor Kang Dongyi, and make him reach an understanding with Li Jing to return the Gubeikou Pass."
Wei Xiaojie, Yan Hongliang and other subordinates loyal to Li You in the palace also agreed that Li You took advantage of the small military and political power in "Youzhou" to rebel.
Su Dingfang, Shi Quanwan, and Qin Wenyuan were frightened to death when they heard Li You's words. How could they dare to agree to the request of Li You and other rebellious people?
In fact, this must be the case for Li Youxiao. However, if there is no ghost in my heart, everything will be suspicious. I also think that not many people know about the secret of rebellion.
