Datang New Order

ps: First of all, I would like to thank Brother Eagle Zhou for his unremitting rewards. I am ashamed. After several days of interruption, Brother Zhou is still encouraging the old fans.It is said that I have been ill recently, and the code word of Lao Fan's illness, I just ask brothers for understanding.This book will not be tj, if there is a break, there must be a reason.

When Li Sizhao returned to the base camp, he immediately summoned his elder brother Li Jichou and Erlang Li Jitao to discuss.Li Sizhao had several sons, but only these two were adults. Among them, Li Jichou had followed him the longest and had a strong military spirit. As expected, he would be the successor of King Zheng in the future.After Li Jitao returned from Fan Yang, Li Sizhao assigned him a troop of horses to command, and within half a year it was ready, with the air of a strong army, so Li Sizhao also let him go with the army this time.

It's just that Li Jitao was somewhat resistant to attacking the Yan army, which displeased Li Sizhao. Li Sizhao's thinking was that his Erlang was still too young and needed to be trained.

When the father and son met each other, Li Sizhao explained in detail the process of discussing with Li Siyuan and the differences between the two parties. At the end, he said: "Jinyang is rich and rich, and it is in the center of the east of the river. It is the foundation of hegemony. I am unwilling to abandon it. I wish to discuss with the King of Han again, and hand over Yizhou and Qinzhou to the King of Han. After the war, Zelu Prefecture will also be under the jurisdiction of the King of Han, in order to seek Jinyang. I don’t know what you two agree?"

Neither Li Jichou nor Li Jitao spoke, they looked at each other silently.After a while, Li Sizhao said again: "But in the remote places of Yizhou and Qinzhou, I'm afraid that the king of Han will not be enough, so I think about it alone, and I want to use food and fodder as a weapon to force the king of Han to submit. Do you two think it's feasible?"

Li Jichou suddenly said: "Uncle is suspicious. If my father threatens me with food and fodder, trouble may arise."

Li Siyuan was among the sons of the old Jin king Li Keyong, who was in the Taibao, so Li Jichou and Li Jitao always called him uncle.Li Siyuan's temperament is not like Li Sizhao's, he is the kind of person who keeps things in his heart and thinks about problems full of doubts.Apart from Li Siyuan's serious precautions against Hebei, the division of Jin among the three kings of Hedong is also related to his temperament.

At that time, the king of Liang casually threw over several edicts to seal the king.The intention was to create a rift between the three heavy generals in Hedong and Li Keyong. It stands to reason that Liang Wang's move was quite obvious, but the effect was excellent.Li Keyong summoned Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, and Zhou Dewei back to Jinyang for a "report". It was precisely because Li Siyuan was too suspicious that he connected Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei to delay their return to Jinyang, which finally made Li Keyong and the three generals suspicious. more and more.

Therefore, when Li Jichou said this, Li Sizhao felt that it was reasonable, and asked with a sigh: "According to Dalang's wishes, what can I do?"

Li Jichou thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Hedong is surrounded by the danger of mountains and rivers. Since we are one, how could there be two masters? Father, why don't you take advantage of the unpreparedness..."

Li Sizhao was startled, staring at Li Jichou and said: "Why is this? The three kings are divided into Jin, but they still belong to the line of Hedong. They don't want to fight against the enemy with one heart, but they fight against each other. How will they gain a foothold in the future? Besides, the king of Jin yesterday The army was defeated and died. Now there are only Gu and Han Wang, and when they are of one mind, how can they kill each other?"

Li Jichou said: "My father's heart is in Hedong, but my uncle has no such thoughts. The one who strongly advocates attacking Yan is uncle. After a small defeat, the one who is afraid of the former is uncle, and the one who sends troops to attack without telling everyone is uncle. After the defeat, he gets involved in Jinyang Is the one still uncle... but I don't know if it is uncle who will steal the east of the river in the future?"

Every word of these words made Li Sizhao's brain throbbing non-stop.Li Sizhao thought for a long time.Finally moved, he hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to get along..."

Li Jichou said with a smile: "This is easy, we only need to do it tonight. Use the quick to fight the slow, and take advantage of the unprepared. Destroy the food and collect the remnants of the army. Hedong will be settled overnight! Tomorrow, the army will withdraw to Wu Township, according to the throat of Wu Township, sit and watch the decisive battle between Liang and Yan, advance to occupy Luzhou, and retreat to secure Jinyang. From then on, the surname of Hedong is Zheng!"

Li Sizhao looked at Li Jichou who was talking eloquently, and felt relieved in his heart, secretly thinking that we have a future.He looked at Li Jitao, who was always silent beside him, and asked, "What does Erlang think?"

Li Jitao was absent-minded, he said ah, nodded again, and then shook his head, which made Li Sizhao secretly angry.Li Sizhao ignored Li Jitao, and immediately had a secret discussion with Li Jichou.

At dawn, Zheng Jun sneaked towards the Han army camp that was only separated by a mountain ridge. When they reached the edge of the village, the army uttered a shout and rushed in, but they didn't want it to be an empty camp, with only dozens of old soldiers in it. sleep soundly.

Li Sizhao was shocked, thinking that he had been tricked, he hurriedly withdrew from the Han camp.When they retreated, they found that it was a false alarm and there was no ambush.Li Sizhao questioned the captured veteran of the Korean army, but learned that Li Siyuan had already led his army back to Wuxiang in the first midnight.

All of a sudden, Li Sizhao was so angry that his lungs exploded.

"Father, the old man is going to rob Jinyang! This thief dares to ignore the enemy, and instead wants to take our back. He is really a shameless villain! Father, we must not sit idly by, otherwise the foundation will be destroyed. No guarantee!" Li Jichou said angrily, but when he said this, he forgot that his family's actions were more ruthless than Li Siyuan's.

"That's right, order the whole army to pack up immediately, and withdraw at night!... No, we will leave at noon! Miao Gillette, I will stand alone with you!" Li Sizhao said bitterly.

Zheng Jun left the Shiyu camp in a hurry. In order to hurry, he only brought simple luggage and food and fodder, and abandoned all other materials.Li Sizhao originally wanted to keep a rear army to stop the Yan army, but at this moment, which army leader is willing to stay?Asked several times, all silent.

Li Jichou asked himself to be the rear army, and vowed that he would fight well and never lose the prestige of Zheng Jun. He also said that in this crisis, father and son are united, and only he, the son, will stay and supervise the army to die , if it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't try their best.Li Sizhao was greatly moved, and felt that his son was really sensible.But after much deliberation, I really can't do without this resourceful son by my side, so I rejected Li Jichou's suggestion and simply left Erlang Li Jitao behind, telling him that he only needs to stop the Yan army for three days before withdrawing.

Many of Zheng Jun's elite followed Zhou Dewei and were buried on the battlefield north of Xiangyuan. There were not many troops left, and Li Jitao himself had only 800 men under his command.Watching the army leave Shiyu and disappear among the rugged mountain roads, Li Jitao suddenly felt an inexplicable melancholy.

Li Jitao placed his soldiers on several high grounds in front of the enemy, and simply issued a military order, asking all the troops to block them for three days, then returned to the camp and did not come out for a whole day.

There was a lot of movement in the Shiyu camp, which naturally alarmed the Yan army who was confronting not far away.Zhou Kan ordered all the ministries to be on alert, and then transferred a few battalion heads to attack the small hills in front of the Shiyu camp to test the reaction of the other side.

After the Yan army tried to attack, they immediately discovered the weakness of the defenders, so they flew to report to Zhou Kan.Based on the battle reports from all parties, the Xiangyuan Battlefield Headquarters judged that Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan had probably withdrawn to the north, and immediately ordered to intensify the attack.

Li Jitao's troops stationed on several high grounds at the front of Shiyu Camp were different from Zheng Jun's other troops.At dusk, the Yan army retreated, and the officers guarding the hills breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gathered under Li Jitao's tent to ask for instructions on the next step of defending the battle. In fact, they felt powerless and couldn't hold on.

Li Jitao was already drunk in the tent, there was no way to defend the battle, he was given several bowls of hangover soup by several officers, finally he seemed half awake, got up but vomited all over the floor.When everyone was at a loss, they heard Li Jitao muttering while belching his wine: "Defend? How to defend? The Yan army is so strong, but how to defend? If they can't defend, they surrendered..."

Early the next morning, when the Yan army pulled up the catapult, several hilltops fell before the stone was thrown.Li Jitao became a prisoner in his sleep, and Zhou Kan frowned and shook his head when he smelled of alcohol all over his body.

Wuxiang is not far from Shiyu, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, so the march is slow.However, under Li Sizhao's desperate urging, Zheng Jun still rushed to Wuxiang on the fourth day, seeing the city of Wuxiang from a distance, Li Sizhao ordered the army to stop.

Zheng Jun's sentry sneaked down to Wuxiang, but he saw that everything in the city was as before, and Zhang Gui's general flag was planted on the top of the city.When Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei raised their troops to the south, they left three generals stationed in Wuxiang. Among them, Li Shaohong was Zhou Dewei's general, and Tang Li and Zhang Gui belonged to Li Sizhao.The sentry looked at the city for a long time, and vaguely discerned that an officer stationed on the city was an acquaintance, so he boldly came out and asked the city.

Soon, Zhang Gui appeared at the top of the city and explained to the sentinel that Li Siyuan entered the city yesterday and wanted to swindle the defense, but he and Tang Li saw through it and beheaded him.

The scout was overjoyed and immediately reported back to Li Sizhao. Li Jichou was afraid that this was a trick after Zhang Gui surrendered Li Siyuan, so he asked Zhang Gui to bring Li Siyuan's head to meet him.

Without hesitation, Zhang Gui took Li Siyuan, Ren Huan, Li Shaohong and other leaders out of Wuxiang in person to welcome Li Sizhao.Seeing these heads, Li Sizhao was overjoyed, so he ordered the army to enter the city.

The light soldiers attacked back, and it was a deceitful city by surprise. How stupid would it have to be for the situation to be revealed?Li Sizhao and Li Jichou were thinking about the wonderful prospect of monopolizing Hedong, while smilingly asking Zhang Gui what happened.Zhang Gui immediately narrated it vividly and vividly, and it was very interesting, which aroused the laughter of Zheng Jun from Li Sizhao, Li Jichou, and from all the army leaders.

When they reached the city of Wuxiang, Zhang Gui led Li Sizhao, Li Jichou and others into the city gate, surrounded by sergeants in full body armor, complete with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, all staring at Li Sizhao and his party.

When Li Sizhao was wondering when Zhang Gui had so many excellent armors, he suddenly saw a horse galloping towards him. The speed of the horse was extremely fast. The rider held a bright silver long lance in his hand, and a thunderous roar sounded : "Han Jintong, do you know someone!"

Han Jintong was Li Sizhao's real name before he worshiped Li Keyong as his adoptive father. No one had called him that for more than 20 years. Hearing someone mention it at this moment, Li Sizhao's whole body trembled, and he was about to get angry when he suddenly saw who was coming. Feeling cold from head to toe.

This person is Li Cunxu again!
