After Xiangyang was down, Lekang had no worries. He hurriedly stayed in Xiangyang for two days, arranged personnel, and sent a letter to Jingzhou to send people to You Niaojuan and Shan Meixian'an, and then led his troops westward and northward to recover other parts of Jingchu.

This time, he led his troops westward and northward, but led ten thousand people in three ways, and led an army to Chang'an, wherever he went, due to his reputation and Sun Huacheng's appearance to persuade him to surrender, he was captured without bloodshed. On the eve of November, he arrived at Zhongnan Mountain where Zhu Can had led his army to, and joined with other troops sent to recover Jingchu, and the number of troops increased to 60,000!

It was only more than fifty miles from Zhongnan Mountain to Chang'an. This news was naturally quickly learned by the Li family who besieged Chang'an with 200,000 troops.

When the Li family raised their troops, they also took into account the Kedahan bandits. However, they had already seen that the Kedahan bandits were not a terrible force, so they were just a little worried. Especially after the Lekang Jingzhou raised an army and captured several places in Yiling, Nanjun, Zhu Can led the Kedahan bandits back, which made them no longer worry and planned to concentrate on the tour of Chang'an.

But they never expected that Lekang would be defeated in just three months, and he fought to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain again!

Although it was 40,000 less than Zhu Can's 100,000 army, Le Kang's 60,000 army gave them even more headaches than Zhu Can's 100,000 army...even feared!

In the final analysis, this is because the leader has changed.

Zhu Can knew everything he did in Jingchu. After all, he was just the striker he fought against in order to win the world. Just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then, his function was to destroy the stability of Sui Ting.

Le Kang is different. All the government orders after taking over Jingchu showed his far-sightedness. The people of Jingchu supported him very much. They rewarded land according to their military merits, and promoted their ranks and made soldiers bravely take the lead. What they cultivated was a tiger and wolf army!

Under the leadership of such a person, even if the number of soldiers is four or five times that of the other party, no one in the Li family dared to promise that he would win and be happy.

In the big tent, the Li family leader and general Li Yuan summoned the major generals under the Li family to discuss the conquering Chang'an and how to deal with Lekang.

"I'm afraid this Le Kang is another Duke of Zhennan." Li Yuan's eldest son, Duke of Longxi, and the left-leading commander Li Jiancheng said with a serious expression.

The one who Zhen Nan Gong was Song Que.

In his early years, Song Que ascended the position of lords, rectified Lingnan, pacified the chaos of the barbarians, and connected with the heroes of the Southern Liao. He was the largest warlord in the south.

At that time, it was the time when Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian swept the south, and he wanted to use a hundred thousand troops to uniform Lingnan, but Song Que led 10,000 elite troops to fight against it, which was up to Cangwu.

Emperor Wen of Sui was defeated ten times in ten battles. Seeing that he could not recover Lingnan by force, he adopted the policy of Huairou to grant Song Que the title of Zhennan Duke. At that time, Song Que saw that the world had been settled and even if he raised an army, he accepted the title. However, until Emperor Wen of Sui died, he never went to court to pay homage to Emperor Wen of Sui, which also means that Emperor Wen of Sui failed to conquer Lingnan in his life.

In addition to being at its peak in military formations, Song Que is also a person on the ceiling in the world.

He is a genius in the Central Plains martial arts world in a century. Since defeating the world's No. 1 sword, he has become famous all over the world. He has never lost since then. People are known as the Heavenly Sword.

Li Jiancheng said that Lekang was afraid that he would be another Zhennan Gong, and his evaluation was not bad.

However, after his evaluation came out, no one felt it was inappropriate, whether it was Li Yuan, Li Shimin, or others.

After three months of defeat, all the Han thieves were captured by Jingchu. No one of them dared to say that they could help with such a battle, especially when Lekang raised his army, it was even more incredible.

"What I want to know is how to deal with Le Kang, not who he looks like!" Li Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Capturing Chang'an is the top priority for us now, and there must be no accidents!"

After hearing his words, his second son, Duke Duke of Dunhuang, and the commander-in-chief of the right-leading army, said: "Le Kang is a disciple of the Dongming Madam Dongming. The Dongming Sect has a great friendship with us. In April, he risked sending weapons to support us. It would not hinder us from conquering Chang'an. But he led the army to Chang'an and must have some intentions, but he didn't know what he wanted...why send someone to contact him first?"

"Who will send?" Li Yuan asked.

"I heard that there are two very good generals under Lekang's tent, named Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. These two have a connection with Mayi County Magistrate Li Jing, so he can go and visit him!"

"Li Jing?" Li Yuan frowned slightly.

He and Li Jing had some rifts and disliked Li Jing. Now, when he suddenly heard this name, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

But even though he was uncomfortable, since Li Jing could use it, he naturally would not show it. He just shouted outside the tent: "Go and invite Li Jing, the Minister of Mayi County, to come here!"

When calling people in the army, the full name must be added, otherwise no one will know who they are calling... There are many people in the world with the same name and surname, but their identities will never be the same.

After about two incense sticks, Li Jing walked into the tent. Seeing that the tent was full of leading generals from various armies, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he bowed to Li Yuan with his fists and said, "I've seen the lord."

"No need to be polite." After Li Yuan raised his hand to let Li Jing avoid the tribute, he stared at Li Jing's eyes and said, "Mr. Li, I have something that I want you to do, can you agree?"

"I don't know what?"

"Go to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and find out the purpose of Lekang leading his troops to Chang'an!"

In a leeward land at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Lekang leaned against a green pine tree that was still as green as spring in the cold winter. He frowned slightly as he looked at the letter coming from Jingzhou.

He formulated many strategies to benefit the people. Although this could make the people support him, the fiscal expenditure was also very huge. He could maintain one or two with the stock in Jingzhou and the support of the Magic Sect. However, after more territory was captured, it became less than enough. In addition, the pensions and rewards of soldiers, etc. have turned Jingzhou's finances into a deficit.

"We have to lead troops to fight and take into account finances. Why don't you let me go to heaven?" Whistle and tear the letter apart into the forest. Lekang looked at the gloomy sky and whispered: "Although the master said in the letter that he would ask the Dongming Sect to transfer some supplies, the Demon Sect would also send a batch of supplies, but that would not last long. Encourage business, because the separatist is not easy to use..."
