    Chapter 356 The world is in chaos

    Helan Shiren and Helan Yueshi's father and son occupied a vast area from Tongguan to Luoyang, with hundreds of thousands of troops. When Chang'an was in danger, they refused to send troops.

    Now that Chang'an has fallen, Li Shimin is dead, and Li Zhen's life and death are uncertain, they no longer have any scruples and assume that Deng will stand on his own. From then on, the fertile land of Henan Road, centered on Luoyang, is no longer owned by the Tang Dynasty.

    Helan Shiren didn't even bother to raise the banner of the Tang Dynasty. He called himself King Zheng. A few decades ago, Wang Shichong also called himself King Zheng and competed with the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. From this alone, we can see that Helan Shiren competed in the Central Plains.  ambition.

    Helan Shiren believed that relying on the wealth of the Central Plains region, he would be able to raise an army of 300,000 in less than a year!

    In Tongguan, a confidant on the side asked Helan Yueshi at the top of the city in a low voice: "General, we have all seen this woman. She is indeed Nina under Li Zhen. Why do we shoot arrows?"

    Helan Yueshi said coldly: "How could I not know that she is Li Zhen's guard captain Nina? As long as Nina is here, Li Zhen must be nearby."

    "Then why"

    "If Li Zhen is allowed to enter Tongguan and Luoyang, Li Zhen will definitely take back the power of Luoyang. Then where will my father and son stand?"

    "Oh, I see. It's better to go out of the city and capture Li Zhen to avoid future troubles!" A confidant reminded him immediately when he saw that Helan Yueshi had the idea of ????reliance.

    "After all, Li Zhen is the prince. Once the emperor dies, he will become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If he is killed, won't my father and son be charged with regicide? If so, how will we convince the public in the future? Since we can't keep him, we can't kill him either.  , it¡¯s better to drive him away instead of killing him, then I can live up to his cultivation.¡±

    "That's it, the general is wise." The confidant said with cupped hands.

    "Li Zhen is good at disguise and make-up. Tell the soldiers that Li Zhen must not be allowed to sneak into Tongguan. If any strangers try to cross the border again, they will be shot!"

    "yes!"

    The rebellion of Helan Shiren and his son from Luoyang to the Tang Dynasty also indicated that the Tang Dynasty had lost control of Hedong Road and Henan Road in the Central Plains. With the fall of Chang'an, various forces that had been lurking in the dark emerged one after another and stood up for themselves.  !

    Yangzhou, the governor's mansion.

    Ma Zhou, the governor of Yangzhou, is a veteran of Li Shimin's staff. He was sent to Yangzhou not long ago as the governor.

    Ma Zhou was a very skillful man. Soon after he took office, he severely attacked the local tyrants in Yangzhou, took control of the army, and firmly controlled Yangzhou in his hands.

    When Chang'an was besieged, Ma Zhou had already judged that if more than a million foreigners came out, the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed. Therefore, instead of sending troops to help the king, he took advantage of the weakening of the imperial court's control over the local area to continue to expand his strength and conquer a large area near Yangzhou.  Land and population were in their own hands.

    Ma Zhou already had 200,000 troops under his command, and controlled most of Huainan Road and part of Jiangnan Road. For a while, his power was extremely powerful.

    At this time, Ma Zhou was in the Dudu Mansion in Yangzhou. Ever since the Western Turks and Tubo jointly attacked the Tang Dynasty, the spies sent by Ma Zhou in Chang'an had been sending news about Chang'an to Ma Zhou via flying pigeons.

    When Ma Zhou heard that Chang'an had fallen, Li Shimin had died in battle, and Li Zhen had disappeared, an inadvertent smile appeared on Ma Zhou's face.

    "Grand Governor, Chang'an has fallen and the emperor is gone. What should we do?" said a scholar with a dignified appearance and extremely beautiful appearance.

    This man was Chu Yanfu, the son of Chu Suiliang. After Chu Suiliang's death, Chu Yanfu brothers were affected by their father and were exiled to Aizhou. However, when the Tang Dynasty was in crisis, Chu Yanfu and his younger brother Chu Yanchong quietly returned to Yangzhou and found Ma Zhou.

    Ma Zhou had already planned to become independent at this time, and he hit it off with Chu Yanfu. Seeing that Chu Yanfu was rich in strategy and handsome, he made him his counselor.

    "Now it depends on the life or death of Crown Prince Li Zhen. If Li Zhen is alive and Li Zhen's prestige is enough to intimidate all heroes, then we will still respect Li Zhen as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Zhen dies, then we will expand our strength and become independent.  Be the king!" Ma Zhou made no secret of his ambition.

    Chu Yanfu shook his head and said, "What the Governor said is wrong!"

    "Oh?" Ma Zhouyi was stunned and looked at Chu Yanfu.

    Chu Yanfu said loudly: "Although Li Zhen was the prince of the Tang Dynasty and made some small contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he failed to defend Chang'an and caused the emperor to die in battle. His prestige was greatly reduced. Heroes from all sides stood still when Chang'an was in danger.  , has already offended Li Zhen, so even if Li Zhen is alive and has no soldiers, no generals and no territory, the heroes from all over the world will definitely not obey Li Zhen¡¯s orders."

    "The Tang Dynasty is now in name only, divided among its heroes and dominated by foreigners. At this timeIf you continue to carry the name of Tang Dynasty, not only will you not be able to protect yourself, but you will easily attract attacks from foreign enemies. Instead of doing this, regardless of Li Zhen's life or death, the governor must establish himself as king to unite people's hearts.  "

    Chu Yanfu¡¯s father, Chu Suiliang, died at the hands of Li Zhen. Therefore, Chu Yanfu and Li Zhen had a grudge against their father, and naturally they did not want Ma Zhou to obey Li Zhen¡¯s orders again.

    Ma Zhou thought about it and felt that what Chu Yanfu said really made sense.

    Even if Li Zhen is alive and has become a polished commander, how can he command the heroes of the world?

    In this world, where virtuous people live, do princes, generals, and ministers have the right to live in peace?

    You may not be able to be the emperor!

    Thinking of this, Ma Zhou nodded and said: "Yanfu's words are reasonable. The Tang Dynasty is dead, so it's okay not to use the Li Zhen brand!"

    At that moment, Ma Zhou immediately gave an order to no longer serve as the governor, but to be renamed King of Wu. From then on, Ma Zhou established a separate regime in Yangzhou.

    Jingzhou, in the residence of Jing Wang Li Yuanjing.

    A young man with a gloomy face was talking to Li Yuanjing. Looking closer, it was revealed that the young man with a gloomy face was Fang Xuanling's son, Fang Yiai.

    Fang Yiai has always been on good terms with Li Yuanjing, King of Jing. The reason why he targeted Li Zhen in this way was to help Li Yuanjing ascend to the throne and then let him take control of the government.

    Unfortunately, Fang Yiai fell short in the end and was defeated by Li Zhen. Fang Xuanling also became an enemy of Li Zhen because of Fang Yiai's instigation, and was finally forced to commit suicide.

    After Fang Xuanling committed suicide, Fang Yiai was exiled, but he secretly went to Jingwang Li Yuanjing and hid.

    Seeing Chang'an fall into the hands of foreigners, Fang Yiai was not only not sad, but overjoyed. He knew that his chance had come.

    At that time, Fang Yiai helped Li Yuanjing conquer Shannan Road and most of Jiangnan Road under the banner of the royal family. In this way, Li Yuanjing had a vast territory. Fang Yiai said: "Your Majesty, a country cannot be left without an owner for a day.  Now that the emperor is dead, you should immediately inherit the throne to convince everyone."

    Li Yuanjing said hesitantly: "Now the life or death of Prince Li Zhen is uncertain. If I succeed to the throne, it will be unreasonable. How can everyone obey me?"

    But Fang Yiai said: "Li Shimin's throne was not right in the first place. If he hadn't launched the Xuanwu Sect Revolution, how could the throne have come to him? Your Majesty is the son of Emperor Gaozu, so he deserves to be the emperor!"  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
