Cut off the food route between Liuzhen, Hedong, and the imperial court... Could it be that Li Chengzhi wants to attack Liuzhen in the north?
The six towns were already desolate, and they only stood up to resist Rou.But in the past few years, Rouran has been repeatedly defeated by Li Chengzhi.Therefore, to the court, it seems like a chicken rib.

Furthermore, even the most prosperous Guanzhong was lost. Compared to that, the loss of Six Towns was not so difficult to accept.

But the problem is that there are still more than 40 troops in the six towns.What would happen if Li Chengzhi cut off the food and grass?
If they were defeated, or if they collapsed or escaped, it would not be considered the worst outcome.I'm afraid that, like Yuan Yu and Luo Jian at the beginning, more than [-]% of the [-] army descended on the West Sea?
Otherwise, where did Li Chengzhi's army of [-] come from?

Thinking of Li Chengzhi's army of [-] people, Yuan Yi was taken aback for a moment, with a suspicious look on his face.

Yes, where did Li Chengzhi get so many soldiers?
First, Dunhuang is the gateway to Hexi, bordering Tuyuhun in the south and Rouran in the north, and it is very close to the Khans of these two countries, so it is natural to send heavy troops to guard it.

If it were Chen Ping's time, more than [-] troops would be enough.But in the past few years, Xihai has been fighting with Tuyuhun and Rouran several times.Therefore, the garrison Li Chengzhi used to guard Dunhuang and Jiuquan County should be at least [-].

Second, the West Sea was the old lair of the Li family, where weapons, food, chariots and horses all came from, and there must be enough troops left.In addition, the Shandan Racecourse must be guarded to prevent Tuyuhun from sending troops from Salt Lake to attack Zhangye and Wuwei counties.So no matter what, Li Chengzhi should have more than [-] troops in Xihai and Shandan.

Third, the two states of Qin and Liang, Jincheng and other Hexi counties were all annexed soon. It was when everyone was in danger and people's hearts were floating. The states, counties, and even counties must send troops to garrison.Even if there were only a thousand soldiers in a county, there were already tens of thousands.

Fourth, Gao Ping and Bo Gulu are close to Xiazhou, and whether Yuan Yao, Xing Luan and Xi Kangsheng may send troops from the six towns at any time, and either Gao Ping or Bo Gulu will attack Guanzhong. How could Li Chengzhi not leave heavy troops on guard?

Regardless of the strength of the battle, Yuanyao and Xi Kangsheng have more than 40 troops, so the troops left behind in these two towns are only a lot more than Dunhuang or Xihai.

Fourth, four of the five prefectures in Guanzhong fell into Li Chengzhi's hands, and when Yuan Qin was defeated, he burned up nearly three prefectures' food and grass.Therefore, it is now a time when the flames are rising, and if there is no suppression by the army, it will become a spark.

Even if there are only [-] soldiers left in a state, this is more than [-].

In addition, there are Chen Bing, Xinfeng and Binyang counties, Huangfu Rang, who is facing off against Yang Zhi and Yang Jun. No matter how little, there should be [-] troops.

So how to calculate, Li Chengzhi's [-] troops are not enough to send out, how can the extra troops invade Xiazhou and seize the border wall that is more than a thousand miles long?

Could it be that after the defeat of Cui Yanbo, the hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers were captured?
Cui Yanbo has been training for nearly a year, but he has no strength in a single battle. It is impossible for Li Chengzhi to become a warrior who is good at fighting?
Yuan Yi was in shock, and his face became more and more ugly.He asked Li Chong in a low voice, "Dare to ask the captain, where did the traitor come to invade Xiazhou and cut off the soldiers on the border wall?"

Yuan Quan's ability can only be regarded as the mean, so after Gao Ying was abolished, he was relieved of the post of Taiwei and replaced by Li Chong.

In the past few years, Li Chong has risen and fallen from time to time, and finally he was dismissed from military power and returned to Beijing to support him.

Until Emperor Shao and Yuan Yi counted Gu Li's mansion, Dayou lifted him up to the court.Li Chong was forced to go out of the mountain again.

But he also knows that this life will be famous, and I am afraid that it will be ruined in this position...

Li Chong pondered for a while, and replied in a low voice: "It's hard to say it, and it's easy to say it!"

"Why?"

"In just a few months, the rebels were able to occupy the four prefectures. Naturally, it was because the soldiers were strong and the firearms were invincible. But there was also no shortage of Juping county magistrates (Yuan Qin) who set fire to the three prefectures, forcing the people to rebel, and finally surrendered in anger. thief.

However, Li Chengzhi tried his best to conquer the four states, but he didn't hear that the counties and counties were repeated. He thought he had quelled the civil unrest and subdued the bandits.In this way, even if only 20 bandits are recruited in a state, there will be [-] soldiers ready to fight.Moreover, after the son of Xinfeng County (Cui Yanbo) died for his country, tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered to the West Sea, so let alone expand the army by [-], why is it difficult to expand the army to [-]? "

Expand the army by 20?
Yuan Yi's heart moved, and he was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Li Chong softly: "I also know that His Highness is confused, it must be because he was wondering why he was under the command of Cui Xianzi, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all vulnerable, why did they arrive? In the hands of Li Chengzhi, can it be of great use? The root of the problem lies in the morale of the army, morale, and more... the people!"

When the word "people's heart" was mentioned, Yuan Yi was speechless, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He knew even more what Li Chong meant.

Back then, he worked hard, tried his best, and even tried his best to get all the princes, important officials, and aristocratic families to agree to the strategy of "offering millet to officialdom".

Whether it is righteousness, promises, or coercion, he finally forced the ministers and families to donate a lot of money and food, and even called the clans and tribes to join the army.

The first to bear the brunt is the Guanzhong gentry and aristocratic families.They donated the most millet, and gathered the clan members and sent them into the army the most.Just because everyone knows that the emperor and Yuan Yi, and even the imperial court has reached the point where they are desperately ill and go to the doctor.If you don't obey, you will be in great trouble.

Now let me talk to you, there are still titles and food towns to be conferred.Although it is still false for the time being, but maybe one day when the rebellion is quelled, it can be sealed as a real shortage.

But if you are shameless, when Cui Yanbo Chen Yuguanzhong's tens of thousands of troops is nothing but paper?

What's more, there is also the Hong family Yang, who has been in charge of the Guanzhong family for decades, as a traitor in Yuanyi. Not only did he take the lead in responding, but he also vigorously encouraged and threatened the various clans in Guanzhong.

Therefore, although the families in Guanzhong donated the most food and called the most soldiers, nine out of the ten families were forced to do so.

Let me ask, how much morale and combat power can such a soldier have?
Therefore, it is not accidental but inevitable that Cui Yanbo was killed in the army.In the end, the Guanzhong families also fell into a bamboo basket to draw water, and their grievances were even worse.

However, when Yuan Qin retreated, he burned the summer grains in Jing, Qi and Bin prefectures.This is even more like adding fuel to the fire. From the gate to the gate, the people have already hated the court to the core.

To tell the truth, if Li Chengzhi failed to conquer Guanzhong, Qi, Jing, and Binzhou would also rebel.

And at a time when he was invincible and invincible, why did Li Chengzhi suddenly stop fighting and then rest for a full month?
It is to let the Guanzhong family and the common people recognize the face of the court, but also to see the jokes of the court.

So far, the court has completely lost the hearts of the people.Li Chengzhi is either Huairou or enticing, and regaining Guanzhong is naturally more effective with less effort and extremely easy.

The so-called trade-offs and trade-offs, using Guanzhong Ding Zhuang, who already hated the imperial court so much, to fight the imperial court, is naturally like a rainbow.

However this is only second.

The most important thing is that up to now, Hexi and Longxi have all fallen, and the five states in Guanzhong have lost four of them, which means that half of the world of Great Wei has fallen into the hands of Li Chengzhi.Moreover, Hedong, Jindi, and six towns are all at stake, so Yuan Yi still uses bird hair to fulfill his promise?
Therefore, what the court lost was not only the people in Guanzhong, but all the courtiers, aristocratic families, and tyrannical powers who accepted Su into officials.

If you don't look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, since entering the temple, there are seven or eight times that you are like an old monk who has entered into meditation.

Yuan Yi was angry and anxious, clenching his teeth.

"Your Highness?"

Yuan Yi looked at the ministers in the hall, and shook his head with a smile: "If the hair does not exist, how can the skin be attached?"

Li Chong was startled when he heard the words, but he sighed secretly and said nothing.

This world, after all, is only the world of the Yuan clan, not the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, nor the world of the world's clans and gentry.

Yuan Yi broke the cauldron and sunk the boat and fought against the water. Not only did he fail to achieve success, but he pushed the broken ship of Yuan Wei a big step in the direction of Shen Yuan.

Now I can only do my best, listen to the destiny, and bet everything.

"His Royal Highness, go for it in person... Take advantage of the thief general Li Fengcai to go to Xuanwu (now Hequ) in Yanmen, and have not completely blocked the military and food routes to Beizhen. Kang Sheng) and Xing Dudu (Xing Luan). The three of them were ordered to counterattack from the north to the south... and then the subordinate Dudu Huazhou and Hedong Prefectures, mobilized troops and horses, and attacked from east to west..."

Yuan Yi cheered up a little: "Okay... I will never give up again..."

"I call it a personal expedition, not Your Highness..."

Li Chong sighed deeply, and bowed his hands to the young emperor who was sitting on top of the hall, who was overwhelmed, "It's your majesty...only your majesty can revive morale and bring the world back to heart. Only in this way can there be a silver lining. machine……"

The emperor's expedition?

Yuan Yi's face suddenly turned white, his eyes were like the edge of a blade, and he pressed Li Chong for more than ten breaths.

"But in case..."

"If there is an emergency, it will be a defeat, and it will be a complete defeat. At that time, the universe will be spinning, the sky will change, the country will change hands... Dare to ask Your Highness, defeat on the battlefield and defeat in this hall. , what's the difference?"

"Li Chong, how dare you do this?"

Yuan Yi was extremely angry, and a loud roar shook the hall beam, which frightened the courtier.

"If not, how can it be?"

Not only was Li Chong not afraid at all, but he showed a wry smile, "If Your Highness thinks it's inappropriate, then the quasi-official will go to Huazhou to lead troops immediately, just like Cui Yanbo who sacrificed himself for the country to repay the country's kindness..."

martyrdom...

Even Li Chong thought he was going to lose. Who else in this world would dare to win?

This world is going to die...

Just like five thunders hit the top, Yuan Yi was in chaos and incoherent: "Taiwei, don't force me... don't force me..."

Seeing him so rude, all the ministers were shocked and suspicious.The emperor stood up even more, with a look of fear on his face: "Tai... Taiwei, don't force your father... um... uncle..."

How could I force Yuan Yi?
But this Yuan clan's country is already in danger, and it will collapse at a touch...

Li Chong sighed faintly, and whispered in Yuan Yi's ear: "It's okay... Your Highness can think about it slowly, or you can discuss it with His Majesty. Of course, the top priority is to send a general who is good at fighting and dares to fight to Huazhou as soon as possible. Keep the Luozhou portal..."

Yuan Qin has been frightened, how can he defeat the wolf-like Li Chengzhi?
"it is good……"

Hearing that Li Chong no longer insisted on letting the emperor go on the expedition, Yuan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and replied in a low voice, "There is no room for failure in Gyeonggi, and there is still a need for the Taiwei to sit in the town, so I hope the Taiwei Moti will go to Huazhou to lead the army. Please don't worry Taiwei, I will discuss with Your Majesty now, and also ask Taiwei to take a look at one or two..."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden noise in the hall.Yuan Yi and Li Chongqi were startled.

I saw courtiers either sideways or tilted their heads, most of them staring outside the hall.Looking out, Zhige General Yuanlue (the fourth son of Yuanying) had already greeted him out of the hall, and was whispering with a general.

A little far away, Li Chong didn't see it very clearly.Only vaguely saw that the person who came was wearing full armor, but it was not the armor of the imperial guard, but rather like a town army.

Yuan Yi's pupils shrank slightly and trembled: "It's Xi Ding'an, the son of Governor Xi, who joined the army (Bianzhen military general, from the fifth rank) in Lishi Town. Now, he should be under the command of Lishi Town General Cui Xiu. That's right? Could it be..."

"Your Highness be careful!"

Li Chong whispered, and then stopped, "What kind of style?"

When the time came, there was silence in the hall.

At the same time, Yuan Lue also entered the hall, walked quickly to Yuan Yi, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, about ten days ago, the thief general Li Feng led his troops to attack Li Shi, the Duke of Qinghe (Cui Xiu, Lishi Town) General) personally took Yaishi, led his troops to defend the city, and fought hard for seven days. However, the deputy generals Xuehe turned against the enemy, and led his troops to open the city gate in the middle of the night, until the city of Lishi was broken..."

Yuan Yi asked sharply: "Yesterday, Governor Xi sent an urgent report, saying that the thief general Li Feng was riding a light chariot and riding straight to Xuanwu along the side wall. Why did Li Shi break today?"

"His Royal Highness, the rebels occupied the border wall and blocked the roads of Fen, Si and other states, so the military situation has been delayed for several days and ten days. Just like the emergency report received yesterday, it was half a month ago. Li Feng should have been the first. After defeating Duke Xi, he then sent his troops south to fetch Lishi in a hurry... and Lishi is east of the river and south of the border wall, so he can expeditiously send the emergency report to the capital in time for [-] miles..."

Is that so?

Yuan Yi felt inexplicably relieved.

He thought that Yuan Yao, Xi Kangsheng, Xing Luan and others in the six towns were all defeated...

As soon as he had a thought, he suddenly realized: Li Chong just now said that Li Chengzhi was trying to block the food supply of the six towns, so why did Li Feng attack Li Shi again?

Could it be that they want to capture Fen, Bing, Ji and other states?

Because of Gao Zhao's rebellion, he conquered the Dingzhuang of several states in the north, and because of the rebellion of the monks and the people, the livelihood of the people in these states was even worse, and the past was no longer the same.Compared with several states in Hedong, there is a world of difference.

So why did Li Chengzhi leave Huazhou and Hedong without taking it, but abandon the basics and chase the bottom?

Zheng was puzzled, but heard Li Chong sigh: "Xuhe...but the son of Qiuchi town general Xue Pohu, the former lieutenant of the imperial censor and the younger brother of Yanzhou prefect Xucong?"

"It is... Xuehe Congzi, the second son of Xue Cong, is now the governor of Zhaoxing County in Binzhou. And Xuehe himself also went on the expedition with Li Chengzhi for the third year of Yongping (510, the year after Yuan Ke's death). Due to military exploits, he was transferred to General Zhonglu, and later moved to Lieutenant General Shi..."

Just halfway through, Yuan Yi snorted.

He finally knew why Li Chong's sigh was so desolate?
Li Chengzhi didn't want to block the food route of Liuzhen at all, but wanted to plot Hedong.He has even secretly bewitched such a Hedong family as Xuehe.

Guanzhong has been lost. If Hedong is lost again, it means that the north of Gyeonggi, including the six towns, has already fallen into the hands of Li Chengzhi.At that time, where can the imperial court recruit troops and food?
Yuan Yi's eyes darkened, and he fell back.

When I closed my eyes, only the words Li Chongfang had said in my mind: There is only this chance...
