Chapter 389: Bad idea
"It's not enough to succeed, but it's enough to fail." Back to Wuyi, more detailed information has been returned from Zhaoyi one after another, which has also given Li Ze and Xue Ping the most intuitive understanding of the matter of Zhaoyijie Town.
Xue Ping was so angry that he was trembling. Zhaoyi had an accident. For him, the impact was undoubtedly the most direct. The ten thousand Shen Ce troops he led now maintain a transcendent position in Wuwei, all because their salary came from the court, and were distributed by the court, and did not eat Wuwei's military rations.
Now Zhaoyi has had an accident, and the food and wages from the court will inevitably be cut off. His troops will be provided by Wuwei. As the saying goes, the independence of the Shen Ce Army will inevitably be greatly affected. Originally, after the Battle of Matouzhai, Li Ze gave the Shen Ce Army a reward, which made the Shen Ce Army's hearts fluctuate. Of course, it can also be said that it was a person's hearts to be excited, but the problem is that such excitement is not what Xue Ping wanted.
"The chaos in Zhaoyi must end immediately." Xue Ping looked at Li Ze.
Li Ze, who understood his meaning, shook his head in embarrassment: "Brother Xue, although this matter has a great relationship with us, Wuwei has no reason to intervene. First, we do not have enough troops now, and you have seen that the only mobile troops in Wuwei are the only one left. Secondly, the division is Wuming, Xue Jin attacked Xue Jian, Xue Xiong and others, and these people have no bad records and no intention to rebel. It is just because they have conflicts with Xue Jin. This is at most a family matter? Not only are we not easy to intervene, but you are better not to intervene for the time being."
"My surname is also Xue!" Xue Ping gritted his teeth.
"But don't forget that you are leading the Shen Ce Army, which is the Emperor's personal army." Li Ze smiled and said, "If you take action, it means that the Emperor has expressed his attitude. The meaning contained here is extraordinary."
"Jingshuai means, can I just watch it?" Xue Ping was so angry that he couldn't calm down.
"Now you can only watch. If you want to intervene, you have to wait for a suitable opportunity. For example, if external forces intervene in the internal dispute between Zhaoyi," Li Ze said quietly.
"External force?" Xue Ping was slightly surprised.
"Of course, Xue Jin has been preparing for this matter for a long time. Not only is it mobilized soldiers, but it is much stronger than Xue Jian and Xue Xiong's reserves. For this battle, Xue Jian, Xue Xiong and Pei Zhiqing will not last long before they will show signs of defeat. Do you think they will be left alone?" Li Ze asked with a smile.
"Of course not!" Xue Ping immediately woke up: "They will ask for help from outside. The one who is most likely to become their backers is Tian Chengsi of Wei Bo. How could Tian Chengsi miss this good opportunity to annex Zhaoyi? Once Xue Jian and Xue Xiong and others speak to him, he can interfere in Zhaoyi's internal affairs with justification!"
"That's the reason." Li Ze nodded and said, "At this time, Brother Xue, is the time for you to take action. In fact, it's not just you, but even the court has the opportunity to take action."
"The court takes action?" Xue Ping shook his head and said, "The court will not interfere in affairs between towns. This is a convention. Once the exception is broken, the balance will be broken."
Li Ze sneered: "If this is the case, then His Majesty the Emperor will always be a nameless emperor in the Chang'an Imperial City. Is it the king's land, the shores of the land, or the king's minister? If His Majesty wants to revive the prestige of the court, this is the best opportunity to join the army. Are the 200,000 Shen Ce Army being able to make a living?"
Xue Ping wanted to speak but stopped.
"I can still fight in the Shence Army. In the battle of Matouzhai, people are impressed. As the emperor, he owns the land of Heluo in Guanzhong. To say disrespectful words, even if he is just a town, it is the strongest town in the world!" Li Ze said: "I dare not fight with such strength. I just want to defend Heluo in Guanzhong. The time is long. How can I not be looked down upon by people? It is to fight with people, and I see his majesty and majesty of the court."
Xue Ping was in trouble. The court still had 200,000 Shence Army, but how many could really fight? The Yuan Cong Imperial Guards led by Qin Zhao were able to fight, but they were still beaten up by Li Ze's Qianniu Guards who had been trained for more than half a year. Li Xin's 50,000 Shence Army was able to fight, but it was even worse than the Yuan Cong Imperial Guards. Xue Ping really didn't know whether the Shence Army stationed at the four major passes could fight. What he knew was that many generals at these four major passes were rich.
The Ten Thousand Shen Ce Army brought to Wuwei can indeed fight, but they were carefully selected. The Shen Ce Army in Heluo Guanzhong is not just a problem of the soldiers not working, but a big problem with the generals and officers.
But how did he tell Li Ze these words!
Li Ze did not seem to see Xue Ping's embarrassment, and continued to say with great enthusiasm: "If Xue Jian and Xue Xiong lose, they will inevitably ask Wei Bo for help. When Wei Bo and Tian Chengsi attack, Brother Xue, it's not that I look down on your uncle Xue Gong, but I'm afraid he will lose very quickly and miserably. But at this time, you only need your uncle to write to the court for help and are willing to hand over Zhaoyi to the court's direct subordinates. Then the court will have a lot of reasons to send troops to take over Zhaoyi. Tian Chengsi will either swallow this breath and retreat back to Wei Bo, or go to war with the court's army. Once the war begins, a thief's hat can be put on his head. The army leaders around him, hehe, wouldn't they pounce on him and bite Wei Bo's."
Xue Ping said in a depressed voice: "What are the benefits of the imperial court when you pounce around?"
"Why is there no benefit? Even if the military leaders around him were separated by a little, as long as the court took the big head, it would be a big profit, right?" Li Ze laughed and said, "In this way, the imperial army has been trained and the territory has been expanded. More importantly, the imperial court has completely opened up the connection channel with our Wuwei. Zhaoyi and Wei Bo all came to the court. At that time, how could it be that they would not bow their heads!"
Li Ze described it very beautifully, but Xue Ping knew that it was easy to say and it was difficult to do it. The most important thing here is whether the court's troops could defeat Wei Bo once they took action. Li Ze only talked about the benefits of winning, but did not talk about the disadvantages of losing.
"Anyway, Brother Xue, I don't have the energy to intervene in Nangu before I completely quell Zhang Zhongwu." Li Ze spread his hands and said, "Or you can run to Hedong and talk to Han Qi and the others. Now they are idle, maybe they can borrow some troops."
Xue Ping smiled bitterly: "Because of the Hedong Jiedu incident, Han Qi and Li Cunzhong not only hated you, but also me. At this time, I went to find them. What else can I get except to be disappointed?"
"Then I have no choice." Li Ze spread his hands and said, "So, now we can only watch Zhaoyi fight. I hope your uncle will be more successful and can defeat his brothers and brothers with lightning speed. Wei Bo has no chance to intervene."
"How is that possible? Wei Bo is probably ready now, so he is waiting for a command!" Xue Ping said depressedly.
After seeing Xue Ping off, Li Ze stared at the map on the wall, thinking about it. His secretary Zhang Hui walked over with his hands behind his back, stood beside Li Ze, looked at Li Ze's side face, and whispered: "It's true that I'm afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Once your idea comes out, if you really believe it in Chang'an, then as Xue Ping said, the balance will be broken."
"Zhang Zhongwu caused some storms, but even if there were some storms in the border area, it would not be too big. Sir, we are fighting to death here, but Heluo Guanzhong and other places are still drunk and dreaming, singing and dancing endlessly, so the storms must come more urgently and even bigger." Li Ze said quietly.
"Is it easy to fish with mixed water?" Zhang replied: "Jiangshuai is so confident that he can touch the biggest fish?"
"I want to catch all the fish." Li Ze smiled and said, "and they all over the people who want to catch the fish in the mixed water with me."
"There are so many heroes in the world."
"Then you will knock them down one by one. Those who die will not be heroes, but only bears." Li Ze said.
"It is good to have ambitions, but you can't underestimate the heroes of the world. Just a Tian Chengsi can cause great trouble." Zhang replied: "What's more, there is Zhu Wen who looks very gentle now but acts frequently in private. This is just the north, and the south, isn't it a place where the tiger and the dragon are hidden."
Li Ze laughed: "Sir, don't worry, I have always been strategically ignoring the enemy and tactically valuing the enemy. By the way, now the war has entered a stalemate, and most of the students of Wuwei Academy have returned to school, right? Tell me, these people will not be idle tomorrow, and if you want to come to Guizhou, Tanzhou will be taken down by us, and they will all come out to work for me."
Zhang Hui nodded: "Wuwei Academy will open the mountain gate to recruit new people in the spring."
"By the way, Jin Mantang will search for a group of frustrated scholars from the south. The poor scholars come to Wuwei to study. There are probably a lot of them. I heard that the first batch will have a hundred people. Please pay attention to whether there are heroes among them at that time?" Li Ze said with a smile.
Zhang Hui smiled and shook his head repeatedly: "You have used Jin Mantang to the extreme. Are you willing to be a human trafficker now?"
"No, these people can't live happily in the south. When they come to us, they will find that there is another world!" Li Ze said: "Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it will be abandoned. You have to do something in advance."
