Dajin royal family

Chapter 396 Li Fazhu's Goal
Yu Wenshu snorted coldly: "Jiang Chengxiao made a good plan and asked for three at once."

Xu Yixin smiled wryly and said: "This is the condition in exchange for General Yuwen, and 30 shi of food is his request for retreat."

"Then he still wants the murderer, so is it possible that I'm bound to go there?" Yu Wenshu sneered, "I don't think he has any intention of negotiating, if it didn't fall into his hands, I would have to fight him to the death. "

Speaking of this, Xu Yixin basically understood that Yu Wenshu agreed, but he was very unwilling in his heart.

"My lord, they only said they want a murderer, so we just give him a murderer. It's hard to find three-legged toads, but people with two legs... aren't they everywhere?"

The reason is this reason, and Yu Wenshu naturally understands it, but he feels like he has eaten shit in his heart.

It's not that he is not as strong as Jiang Chengxiao now, but that the surrounding forces have too many restraints on him, making it impossible for him to mobilize all his troops to encircle and suppress him.

If not, how could he suffer this loss.

"Hmph, look at the arrangement, sir." Yu Wenshu's expression turned cold, "Get that evil bird out of Henan County as soon as possible, I don't want to see him."

"Yes."

Night, Dongjun, outside Puyang City.

Li Fazhu and Chi Ju led more than [-] riders, and quietly touched a dense forest outside Puyang.

From this position, Puyang can be seen vaguely.

"My dear brother, since you entered the Central Plains, what have you seen compared to Qingzhou?"

Li Fazhu led the horse and asked Chi Ju beside him.

The moonlight was hazy, a few clouds covered the moon, and the earth was pitch black.

In order to hide their whereabouts, the people did not light the torches, so the surrounding area looked very dark.

"Far and rich in Qingzhou." Chi Ju exhaled slowly.

Li Fazhu laughed, "The land of the Central Plains has not been war-torn, and it is close to the feet of the emperor. Compared with other places, it is very different."

This is not wrong. People here are richer than people in other places, but they are also more afraid of death than people in other places.

Even timid!
The guards here are even more vulnerable, and there are countless deserters.

If it is said that the soldiers of the Twelve Guards were their enemies at the beginning, but judging from the fight with Yin Kai, this conclusion can basically be overturned.

"By the way, brother, why did you persuade me to kill Yu Wenshu's envoy. I am still very interested in this King Lu as a brother."

Li Fazhu looked back and looked at Chiju with a smile.

Although not many people agree with Luoyang's court, it is for the separatist forces.

Ordinary people still feel that the Luoyang court is somewhat orthodox in their hearts, and if he accepts Luoyang's canonization, it can be regarded as wearing a layer of "orthodox" skin, and no one can say that he is against the law. thief.

Although, it belongs to Zhaoan.

Chiju smiled lightly and said: "Why should Duke Lu care about this? It's hard to say how long the Luoyang court can last. What our brothers want is real benefits, not a false name."

Hearing this, Li Fazhu didn't doubt it.

Although Chiju has some insight, but the pattern is still a little bit worse.

Of course, he himself had intentions to kill Yu Wenshu's envoy.

After all, there is nothing to say against Yu Wenshu, a traitor.

"Brother Chi is right."

Fazhu Li smiled and pointed to the northwest.

"Do you know what's across the river?"

Chiju shook his head.

"food."

"food?"

Li Fazhu nodded with a smile, "In Liyang, Jijun, there is a Liyang warehouse, which stores hundreds of thousands of shi of grain."

Hearing this, Chiju was surprised.

"Duke Lu means that this time we attack the Central Plains, the target is Liyang Cang?"

"That's right!" Li Fazhu said smugly, "Otherwise, do you think I really want to lead the elite to fight Yu Wenshu to the death?"

"Let's not say that he has hundreds of thousands of troops, but that we have fought all the way here, and the battle line is too deep. If Yu Wenshu falls into a stalemate, then he only needs to send a team of elite cavalry to cut off our retreat, and we will definitely lose. .”

Chiju was startled suddenly, and his heart was overwhelmed.

He always thought that Li Fazhu was doing it for Luoyang, or for looting the Central Plains, but he didn't expect that his goal was actually Liyangcang.

If he really took down the Liyang warehouse, and the grain would be scattered everywhere, the people would definitely gather and follow, and Li Fazhu's power would grow instantly.

"Duke Lu is brilliant!" Chi cupped his hands and said.

Li Fazhu laughed loudly, the laughter echoed in the dense forest, startling the flying crows.

An hour later, an eagle circled up and flapped its wings towards the west.

When the first ray of sunlight fell in the sky, a black eagle landed from a high altitude, went straight into the Mengjindu camp, and landed in the hands of the eagle slaves.

Seeing the red letter tied to the black eagle's feet, the eagle slave immediately took it off, then turned and left.

Chinese army tent.

Jiang Chengxiao had already woken up. He never left his armor when he was leading troops on expeditions, even when he was resting, he would sleep in his armor.

Nan Jiyun hurried into the big tent, Jiang Chengxiao had already washed his face and brushed his teeth, and was wiping his face with silk.

"My lord, brother Chiju hastened to send you a message."

"read."

"Yes." Nan Jiyun took out the letter and unfolded it, reading: "Li Yang."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao was taken aback for a moment, then immediately walked to Kanyu Map, his gaze found Ji Jun, and then fell on Li Yang.

After a while, Jiang Chengxiao sneered and said, "What a master Li, he has a big appetite. Li Yangcang is so big that he is not afraid to overwhelm him."

Nan Jiyun said: "Brother Chiju has already killed the envoy sent by Yu Wenshu earlier, logically speaking, shouldn't Li Fazhu continue to advance westward?"

"Xiangxi?" Jiang Chengxiao snorted coldly: "Master Li is not those idiots like Qu Rang. He knows very well that his military strength is no match for Luoyang, not to mention Luoyang. Defeat is certain."

"It seems that Li Fazhu's goal at the beginning should be Li Yangcang, so let him be underestimated."

It was precisely because of the news of Chiju that Jiang Chengxiao dared to stay in Henan County and confront Yu Wenshu.

Now that Li Fazhu changed his strategic direction, Jiang Chengxiao had to retreat.

Otherwise, if Yu Wenshu gave up chasing and killing Li Fazhu, he would definitely turn around and attack him.

"Send an eagle letter to General Yuchi, telling him to lead his army into Jijun immediately, and make sure to occupy the Liyang Warehouse before Master Li arrives."

"Yes."

Looking at the Kanyu map, Jiang Chengxiao's face was a little gloomy. Originally, in his arrangement, Yu Chijing's soldiers and horses were used to guard against the bandits in Hebei from attacking Taihang Baxing. Now he has to withdraw his troops from Henan County and return to Bingzhou as soon as possible.

After half an hour, everyone gathered in the big tent.

"Everyone, Yu Wenshu has agreed to the conditions now, and the food is being delivered, and it will take two days to complete the delivery. During this time, General Pei, you must pay more attention, lest Yu Wenshu take advantage of the loopholes."

Pei Yuanyan cupped his hands and said, "The general will follow orders."

Immediately, Jiang Chengxiao looked at Wei Zhongyu and said, "General Wei, in half an hour, you lead 5000 people to cross the river first to ensure the safety of the north bank."

"Yes."

Following a series of orders, the generals in the big tent left one after another.

When the crowd was almost gone, Du Ruming stood up and asked, "Your Highness, has Fazhu Li changed?"

"You guessed right." Jiang Chengxiao sighed, "I have received news that Master Li does not intend to continue marching westward, but intends to cross the river to Jijun and attack Liyangcang."

Hearing this, Yu Qing immediately said: "We must not allow Li Fazhu to capture Liyang Cang, otherwise the Qingzhou bandit forces will definitely increase greatly, and they will probably covet Hebei by then."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "I think so too. Firstly, without Li Fazhu holding Yu Wenshu in the east for us, we are bound to return to Bingzhou. Second, the food in Liyang warehouse is equally important to us, whether it is Li Fazhu or others. , can’t let them go.”

"I have already ordered General Yuchi to lead the Qingying Army to Ji County, there should be still time."

Du Ruming said: "Such an arrangement is of course comprehensive. What His Highness has to consider now is to withdraw to Bingzhou as soon as possible, otherwise Yu Wenshu will not let us cross the river easily if he gets the news."

"You're right." Jiang Chengxiao nodded, and immediately asked, "Did Mr. Pei come back?"

"Lieutenant Yan Hu took Yu Wenhuaji to the front line to change people, and he should be back soon."

"Okay, when Pei Gong and the others arrive, we will withdraw immediately."

Yu Qing asked, "Your Highness, what about the scapegoat that Yu Wenshu handed over to us?"

The so-called scapegoat naturally refers to the murderer who murdered the emperor.

"What is the identity of this person?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

"A eunuch."

Jiang Chengxiao frowned, this Yu Wenshu was too casual.

Although this 'murderer' is just a 'additional head', but he used an eunuch to perfunctory the matter, it can still be seen that Yu Wenshu is unhappy with him.

"Push it out and chop it up."

This time his goal of attacking the Central Plains has been completed.

The first is naturally to rescue Zheng Shanyuan and others, and the second is to show the world that he and the Luoyang court are inseparable.

Finally, it is to boost the confidence of the Bingzhou gentry bureaucrats.
