subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Li Ke used it to meet Wang Chucun and Kang Junli outside the city of Yizhou. Kang Junli hurried to plead guilty, saying that he had failed the county king's trust.Of course, Li Keyong knew that he was not to blame, so he didn't punish him, but let him commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. No matter what method he used, he must win Yizhou.

Li Keyong thinks very long-term, because although Yizhou is not his territory, it is a buffer zone between himself, Lulong Town and Chengde Town. If the two towns want to fight Hedong, they must go through Yiding. You can set the battlefield in Yiding by yourself.It is important to know where the battlefield is located. Of course it would be best if the battlefield is located in someone else's territory, because then the people in one's jurisdiction can avoid a catastrophe.No one wants the people in their jurisdiction to live in poverty, so Li Keyong must help Wang Chucun guard this buffer zone.

It will be a matter of time to start a war with Lulong Town. Keep Yiding as a buffer. If you attack Youzhou by yourself, Yiding can also be used as a supply base for the front line.Therefore, Yizhou has great strategic significance for Li Keyong, so he gave up Helian Duo to save Yizhou.

But now that Yizhou has been beaten down, it will not be so easy to fight back. After all, Li Quanzhong brought an army of [-], how could it be so easy to drive him away?

At this time, Kang Junli thought of a way, that is, let Wang Chucun lead 3000 troops dressed in sheepskins to pass under the city of Yizhou on a moonlit night, so that the enemy can see them, but they can't see them clearly. Get a part of the real flock slag period.The people of Lulong Town must have thought that there were shepherds driving sheep past the city, and they would go out to snatch them. At that time, Kang Junli's ambush soldiers came out from both sides, and Wang Chucun also took the opportunity to attack, and he would definitely defeat the enemy.

Although Wang Chucun felt that this strategy of letting his men pretend to be sheep was a little naive, but now he had no other choice but to give it a try.

But it is said that after Li Quanzhong's army entered Yizhou, they robbed it for three days. Yizhou is a big city.Wang Chucun originally thought that the city was high and deep, with sufficient food and grass, and there might be nothing wrong if he guarded it for a year or two, but now it is different. The mountains of food and grass piled up in the city have become the enemy's logistics supplies, which makes Wang Chucun very regretful. , even if the enemy does not need supplies from the rear, they can still persist in the city for a year or so.

It is very unrealistic to attack a large city of this scale. Even with a force several times that of the enemy, it is not easy to fight. What's more, Li Quanzhong now has 6 or [-] people. Words are too difficult.

That's why Wang Chucun considered asking his subordinates to pretend to be sheep to lure the enemy, which was considered a last resort.

Ever since Li Quanzhong took down Yizhou, he had become very self-inflated, thinking that Wang Chucun was totally vulnerable, and now even though Li Ke's men came to help him, he couldn't help himself at all.After all, he was not fighting alone, and there were 4 Chengde troops on the other side to contain the enemy. It turned out that he didn't know that the troops in Chengde Town had been defeated.

Not only Li Quanzhong thinks he is great, but even the soldiers under his command don't take Wang Chucun and Li Keyong seriously, isn't it? Such a big city was easily defeated by him, how can we let them Not proud.

This violates the taboo of military strategists, and arrogant soldiers are bound to lose.

That night, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly heard a strange movement. Could it be the enemy attacking the city?They hurriedly became vigilant, and by the dim moonlight, they saw thousands of sheep passing by outside the city. Of course, such a large flock of sheep passed by, and there was no small movement. Even the sound of sheep bleating could be heard slightly from the city wall. to some.

Seeing that there were only a hundred or ten men driving the sheep, the soldiers guarding the city thought it was the herdsmen in the north who were driving a large number of sheep to sell to merchants in the Central Plains. Because although there is a lot of food in the city, the brothers have not eaten meat for a long time. Some pigs and sheep in the city have already been eaten up by the soldiers of Lulong Town. If the flock is not moved, it is a lie.

As soon as the soldiers guarding the city came together, they decided to go out of the city to rob. Although the guard at the city gate felt that something was a little strange, he agreed to the proposal of the soldiers, because he thought that there were 6 people in the city, so how could he be afraid of the enemy's tricks?Even if there are some tricks, they will definitely not be able to escape their own eyes. If they find something wrong, they will immediately return to the army. Could it be that the enemy can still attack the city?

Just like that, a gang of them opened the gate of the city, and rushed towards the "sheep" laughing and joking. Lu Longjun's men shot down one piece.Wang Chucun's 3000 troops took the opportunity to attack the city and occupied the city gate.The troops of Kang Junli and Li Siyuan (Miao Jilie) rushed out from both sides and swarmed into the city. For a while, many places in Yizhou city were on fire, causing chaos.

Although Li Quanzhong had a large number of troops, the enemy entered the city as soon as they said they entered the city, so he was a little flustered. In addition, he didn't know how many people the enemy had come, so he couldn't form a defensive formation for a while. The two sides fought in the city for two hours. Li Quanzhong finally Withdrew from Yizhou City and retreated for 1 miles. When the checkers saw that they had lost [-] horses.

This time Yizhou gained but lost again, and it will be a little difficult to attack again.Li Quanzhong lost his army and lost his generals, and he was unable to fight again. If he returned to Youzhou, he was afraid that Li Keju would be punished. Just at this time, his subordinates reported that the German army had been defeated a few days ago and had returned to the town.

Only then did Li Quanzhong realize that he was the only one left alone in the original coalition army. Although he was not afraid of dealing with Wang Chucun, it would be a bit bad for the opponent to add Li Keyong.But if he returned to Youzhou like this, Li Keju would definitely blame himself. In a dilemma, Li Quanzhong simply decided to go back to Youzhou after discussing secretly with his generals.

Youzhou originally had a strong army and nearly 10 horses, but Li Quanzhong brought [-], and other states and counties stationed some, and the remaining troops in Youzhou were less than [-], and they could not resist Li Quanzhong's siege at all. Li Keju knew that the city would be destroyed. That's right, he killed Li Quanzhong's wife and children in Youzhou City in anger, and he gathered the whole family together, set a fire, and reduced them to ashes.

After Li Quanzhong entered the city, he served as Lu Longliu, and wrote to the imperial court to ask the imperial court to appoint him as Jiedu envoy.Now the imperial court is simply unable to take care of such a distant place, so it can only acquiesce in the facts.

Besides, Wang Chongrong and Tian Lingzi had a verbal fight for a period of time. At the beginning, it was okay to say, but it became more and more unbearable, and it turned into exposing each other.

Tian Lingzi was also unambiguous, and joined forces with Jingnan (Bining) Jiedu Envoy Zhu Mei and Fengxiang Jiedu Envoy Li Changfu to attack Wang Chongrong.

Wang Chongrong was not easy to get along with, of course he would not submit obediently, so he hurriedly sent six hundred miles to inform Li Keyong that he wanted to join forces with Li Keyong to fight against the powerful enemy.

At this time, Li Keyong had already helped Wang Chucun repel the troops of Lulong and Chengde towns, and was recruiting troops to attack Zhu Wen to avenge his great revenge in Shangyuanyi.Immediately replied to Wang Chongrong: "After I take down Bianzhou and capture Zhu Wen alive, it will not be too late to help you defeat the enemy."

Of course Wang Chongrong also knew about the enmity between Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, but Wang Chongrong was also a smart person, so he went to the east of the river to meet Li Keyong in person.Wang Chongrong said: "Zhu and Wen's troops are powerful now, not comparable to what they used to be. If you wait until you take down Bianliang and return to the army, I, Wang Chongrong, will definitely become the prisoner of Tian Lingzi's dog. Tian Lingzi, an old dog, is best at To deal with heroes, you and I are both heroes who regained Chang'an. If he can deal with me, of course he can deal with you. You and I are each other's horns, and they are still afraid. If I am defeated, you must be independent, right? "

Wang Chongrong saw that Li Keyong was silent in thought, so he hit the rails while it was hot: "Besides, now Li Changfu and Zhu Mei are secretly colluding with Zhu San. The general is now named the king of Longxi County, and Zhu Wen's fellow named Pei Marquis of the county, Li Changfu and Zhu Mei don't even have titles, they must be jealous, they don't like the general, if you and I don't get together, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Keyong didn't care about anything else, but Wang Chongrong said that both Li Changfu and Zhu Mei were in collusion with Zhu Wen, so he became impatient and asked, "These two thieves really have secret dealings with Zhu San?"

Wang Chongrong said: "It's absolutely true, how can it be false?"

Although Li Keyong was angry, he was not a fool, and of course he would not listen to Wang Chongrong's one-sided words. However, Li Keyong did have some small frictions with Zhu Mei. Although there was no deep hatred, there were also a few small-scale wars .There were casualties on both sides, but Li Keyong hadn't freed up his hands to deal with Zhu Mei.

Now that Wang Chongrong is fighting with Zhu Mei and Li Changfu, Li Keyong is just taking advantage of the troubled waters. Now that the world is in chaos, taking the opportunity to expand his power is what Li Keyong wants. As for Wang Chongrong's life and death, Li Keyong doesn't care at all.

But now agreeing to Wang Chongrong's request can just sell Wang Chongrong's face, isn't Wang Chongrong grateful?Immediately, Li Keyong agreed, and took the opportunity to say that there was a shortage of salt in Hedong, hoping that Wang Chongrong could sell some at a lower price.

Of course Wang Chongrong knew what Li Ke was thinking, and immediately said: "What's the point of a little salt? When I go back, I'll ask someone to send five hundred carts, and the money will be free."

Li Ke used the joy in his heart. Before the army moved, he blackmailed Wang Chongrong with five hundred carts of salt. Since he was helping Wang Chongrong defend against the enemy, the supply of food and grass must come from the river. Responsible for food, grass and salary, where can such a good thing be found?

Wang Chongrong got Li Keyong's promise, and he was very happy in his heart. Although he knew that Li Keyong would not help him in vain, but now is a critical time, so what's the point of spending more money and food?There is plenty of silver in the river, as long as the two salt ponds are preserved, won't the silver be earned back like running water in the future?If Li Ke didn't help, he might not even be able to keep the salt pond.
