Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 763 Disappointment

Not only the Ministry of Justice is investigating, but the School Affairs Office is also secretly probing.

As expected by Li Yue, various signs showed that it was Li Yi's people who acted first and deliberately made the matter worse.

Li Yue was not polite and banned him for three months and dismissed his retainers and staff.

However, the disciples were personally dependent on him and had already secretly sworn allegiance to him, so this disbandment was of little significance.

The person who stirred up the trouble was detained by the Ministry of Punishment, and the person who killed someone must pay for his life. Since someone lost his life, someone must pay for his life.

"Are you in charge of this matter?" Li Yue came to Li Yi's house and asked directly.

This guy still had an indifferent expression on his face, pointing to the sky, "The sky is a guide, I don't know this."

"Don't swear to the sky. Maybe one day a lightning will strike you. Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and the prince?" Li Yue stared at Li Yi and said.

"I don't know." Li Yi looked much more serious this time.

"The prince's thoughts are on the country and state affairs, but you are doing everything possible and specializing in internal fighting. I let you run the Chaling Restaurant just to see what you are capable of. You can't handle anything serious. You have such a crooked mind. More! Look at your brothers, which one is not working diligently for Daliang Sheji?" Li Yue looked disappointed.

Infighting is not a problem, but the premise is to do things well and let one's own achievements speak for themselves.

But he put the cart before the horse, raised his hand and headed towards Li Jianming's door, trying to drag Wang Meng into the water.

As expected, those who hold back are extremely ruthless.

"My son..."

Li Yue didn't want to hear his explanation, so he interrupted directly, "It's only three things, so you can take care of yourself."

His kind of fighting was actually extremely low-level, and it was far different from what Li Yue had imagined.

Conspiracies and intrigues cannot be tolerated.

"My son, I know." Li Yi's voice became much deeper.

After meeting Li Yi, Li Yue went back to the palace to summon Li Jian.

"This matter ends here. The Battle of Mobei is about to begin. Everything is focused on national affairs."

Wang Meng stopped taking a bath, so the logistical burden naturally fell on Li Jian.

"My son has organized 30,000 civilians to divide into three routes to transport supplies to the grassland, and strive to destroy the Dai Kingdom within two months before the heavy snow falls!"

"Okay." Li Yue praised.

Overall, Li Jian is the most personable and capable.

"My son, I have something to report to my father." There was a rare hesitation on Li Jian's face.

"Tell me, what can't be said between father and son?"

"My minister does not intend to get close to the powerful nobles of Jiangnan, but to temporarily stabilize them. There are many Yi tribes in the south, and the powerful are familiar with the local situation. If I want to conquer Jiangnan, I cannot do without their assistance." Li Jian explained laboriously.

"The powerful nobles are harmful to China internally, but beneficial to China externally. You have done nothing wrong." What Li Yue was guarding against was not Li Jian personally, but the interest groups around him to prevent them from overexpanding and threatening the imperial power.

The little gap between father and son is nothing.

"Thank you, Father." Li Jian breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you for what? As long as you are doing it for China and the country, just do it boldly and without worry. Am I a narrow-minded and ambitious person?" Li Yue said with a smile.

"Yes!"

After experiencing this, autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye.

As in previous years, the grassland tribes came again like flies.

Even without Tuoba Shi Yijian's instigation, these tribes lingered like flies.

It seems that going south to plunder has been engraved in their bones and has become a custom.

Murong Chui of the Western Regions personally led his troops and led 10,000 fine cavalry into the grasslands.

A large army composed of 3,000 elite cavalry, 5,000 Buqu, and 8,000 righteous followers from Liaodong passed through the Daxianbei Mountains and attacked Guyan Mountain. Lu Bozao was the main general in this battle, and Li Tuan led 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yun rode out of Bingzhou with 8,000 paces, and Xie Xuan's 13,000 Southern troops came out of Youzhou. Xu Cheng led ten thousand Heiyunxiao to ride out of Liangzhou.

Qin is too far away, but considering the time, it should be time to send troops.

This war is not just against one country, but a counterattack against the entire grassland, combing the grassland.

To the south, Zhou, Yu, Gu, Shen, He and other Wu Hui powerful forces combined an army of 27,000 and marched south to Guangzhou.

The entire court was focused on the Battle of Mobei.

Everyone knows that Daiguo has reached a time when it has to be solved.

Li Yue was quietly waiting for news in Luoyang, and all the famous generals would appear in this battle.

Xie Xuan was the first to return the good news. He defeated Gaoche, Chile and other troops, killed more than 3,000 people, captured more than 17,000 people, and nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep.

Then Lu Bozao went straight to Guyan Mountain, defeated the main force of Dai State, and also captured Tuoba Shiyi Jianya Bao and the golden account.

Xu Cheng and Gao Yun also gained a lot, and they thoroughly cleaned up all the Monan tribes.

There are detailed operations inside Daiguo, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost.

There were a large number of Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiangdi soldiers among the Liang army who were familiar with the grassland climate, customs, and routes, leaving Dai Guo nowhere to hide.

Murong Chui went straight to Jinshan.

Qin Biao and Mi Jin carried out a purge of the tribes on the Central Asian grasslands...

A unified Central Plains dynasty completely crushed the grasslands, but what's more, Li Yue still laid out plans in advance and prepared for many years.

More and more captives and livestock were sent back from the grasslands.

But what depressed Li Yue was that Tuoba Shi Yijian was never caught.

At the beginning of the war, this guy saw that the situation was not good and retreated from Guyan Mountain to Beihai.

Yang Lue's intelligence said that Tuoba Shi Yijian was preparing to lure the enemy deeper and attract Liang Jun to go north. When the wind and snow came, Liang Jun himself would freeze to death, and then they would counterattack.

Not to mention, Xie Xuan and Lu Bo had already caught up with them.

The war has been going on for more than a month, and the weather is getting colder.

If Tuoba Shi Yijian cannot be completely wiped out this time, I don’t know when the next time will be.

More than ten days later, envoys from Rouran and Qigu came from the grassland, claiming that they were willing to assist Daliang in attacking Tuoba Shi Yijian. They only asked Li Yue to grant Mobei and Beihai to them.

"If you are canonized today, another country will rise tomorrow. These people are not reliable!"

If they send an envoy before the war breaks out, Li Yue may consider it.

Now that Tuoba Shi Yijian is only breathing his last breath, these forces have come to pick up what is available. They say they are assisting Daliang, but in fact they want to annex Tuoba Shi Yijian and strengthen themselves.

With the canonization of the Central Plains Dynasty, they had legitimacy on the grassland.

The sacred weapon of the country should not be given to others lightly.

"It would be better to have Xie Xuan and Lu Bo's troops return early and let them fight each other before going out again next year," Li Jian suggested.

"Will it be colder in Mobei next year? As for whether the frontline can be fought, Xie Xuan is a famous general and Lu Bo has been a veteran for a long time. They can make their own decisions. It is best for the rear not to interfere with how the frontline generals fight."

The situation changes every year, and it may not be possible to launch an army of this size next year.

Rouran and Qigu are not vegetarians either.

This battle is for them and the entire grassland to see.

Li Jian nodded, "What my father said is absolutely true."

Li Yue vaguely felt that Dai Guo was just about to breathe his last breath, and Dai Guo must also be wiped out!

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.
