Listening to An Chongba's quick advice, Li Siyuan fell into deep thought for a moment... Surprising the northern parts of Yunzhong Dai, resisting the Wei Dynasty's army according to the city, this plan is indeed a bit risky, but compared to continuing to wander outside the border, in terms of the current situation, this risk must also be taken.

The Khanate of the Khanate, which occupied the northern desert, now has become increasingly obvious. Li Siyuan's power's living space has been continuously compressed and it is even difficult to make a living. So how can we talk about the great cause of revival?

It is even more hateful that Shi Jingtang incited some soldiers and horses to rebel and flee, but instead went to the world's enemy Khitan. This not only made Li Siyuan feel heartbroken, but also the attack on the morale of the army that followed him was also conceivable... Some tribes also wanted to leave. Even though Li Siyuan still tried his best to win over the scattered nomadic tribes on the grassland, but when he went back and forth, his troops were only maintained at around 20,000.

In addition, An Chongba, An Chongjin, Zhang Congbin and others rebelled against the Wei Dynasty again, and were willing to be the troops instigated by internal generals. They had a full plan and had only nearly 30,000 troops. Such military forces intend to regain the lost territory in Hedong and form a confrontation with the major powers such as the Wei Dynasty, which is tantamount to dreams...

However, Li Siyuan knew very well that he had to fight now, otherwise the difficulty of wandering outside the Great Wall would not be improved, and the tribal soldiers would be disintegrated and they would be separated one after another... In the long run, in terms of the number of troops under his command, I am afraid that it would be much better than the large-scale horse thieves wandering around the grassland.

If he frequently raided the northern border of the Wei Dynasty in order to raise food and fodder... The former intention of gangs of Chaozhezhe from afar, Lin and the two states suffered a great loss. Li Siyuan knew very well that this would only continue to deepen the hostility of the people under the Later Tang Dynasty to him, until they regarded him as enemies. So either do not do it, or if they do it, they must do a big vote... at least let the world know that he still has the ability to fight back to his hometown.

Li Siyuan slowly turned his head again, and saw that his confidant An Chonghui did not say a word, but nodded quietly... He then took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice:

"If we want to restore the country, even if we have many difficulties, we will endure hardships and never give up anyway. This time, we will take Yunzhong to depart North, and let the world know that our Tang Dynasty still has passionate men who are determined to revive great things and are unwilling to surrender to the Wei people. Whether it is success or failure, it will be a one-stop blow!"

The silence under the night sky on the grassland was soon broken by the rumbling sound of horse hooves. Li Congke, An Chonghui, Wang Jian, Yao Yanchou, Kang Yicheng... and other confidant generals called the troops and horses, and they rode their horses one after another, and drove towards the south.

Yunzhong County, the capital of Yunzhou, is surrounded by mountains and dangerous passes. It should have been strictly guarded against the surrounding grasslands for whether there are any raids. However, looking down from the pass, you can still vaguely see countless black dots approaching here... The closed door slowly opened, and it seems that the troops led by Li Siyuan had already been welcomed to enter the land of Daibeiyun through the pass.

Li Siyuan, surrounded by a crowd of people, entered the pass built on a high place, but saw that the walls made of rammed earth were covered with bricks, trenches, deer forts and other defensive facilities were complete... He thought that when he was still a young man, he followed Li Guochang, the Zhuxie tribe of Shatuo, and even his adopted father Li Keyong, from outside the Great Wall, and then built a country... Li Siyuan felt very moved and noticed that the border guards here were not only not slackened, but also seemed quite rigorous after rectification and defense system.

If you come rashly to attack, it will not only be difficult to conquer in the short term, but the troops guarding the pass can also immediately alert you and inform Yun, Wei, Shuo and other prefectures that foreign enemies are trying to invade the south, so you must be wary in advance.

It is indeed necessary to have An Chongba, An Chongjin and others cooperate inside and outside, so I have the opportunity to surprise and capture the important town in the northeastern Hebei... Li Siyuan thought in his heart, and saw the torches in the pass, and the old Hedong troops under An Chongba were waiting and saluting. Although there were no corpses around, there were still some blood in the pass. It must be that An Chongba had ordered the soldiers who did not know that he wanted to rebel against Wei again... Now, even if all the corpses have been dealt with, there is still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Until Li Siyuan saw a few people walking towards him, he suddenly turned over and got off the horse, went straight to meet him, and shaved his head at it, but had already changed into a military armor and sighed:

"Fortunately, Your Highness was not held captive by the Wei people to Bian Jing, but he escaped into a monk and endured it until now, and he was able to meet him!"

Although Li Cunxu was very suspicious and wary of Li Siyuan later, his adopted sons promoted by his father Li Keyong fought side by side in his early years, and their relationship became closer. However, other biological descendants such as Li Cunba, Li Cunmei, and Li Cunwo... had never made any achievements in combat and were used to being generous to them. Li Siyuan had no deep friendship with them.

However, even if Li Cunba was unbearable, he was at least the third son of Li Keyong, who was posthumously named Emperor Wu of the Later Tang Dynasty. Now he is a fellow patriot who wants to revive the Later Tang Dynasty. Li Siyuan will naturally treat this adopted father's son with courtesy.

However, although Li Siyuan stepped forward to reminisce about the past, a look of viciousness passed away in Li Cunba's eyes... After all, in his opinion, Li Siyuan was not worthy of claiming that he was the Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty. The late Emperor Li Cunxu had died, and the rest of his brothers and descendants were also controlled by the Wei Dynasty... So Li Cunba thought that only I, the third son of my father, was qualified to inherit the throne of the Later Tang Dynasty.

After all, according to the official history, Li Siyuan entered Luoyang and won the recognition of most local warlords and court ministers. Li Cunba was fleeing and was living under someone else's roof, and still had the intention to seize Taiyuan. According to Hedong's plan to confront him...but the current situation is different. After all, there is a great enemy of the Wei Dynasty. Now, the remaining troops of the Later Tang Dynasty must also work together to do their best to revive the country.

Li Cunba pretended to beg for Wei Chao to become a monk, but he was endured by chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name and vegetarian food and light rice. He had already been so crazy that he had to fight for it... So whenever he had a chance, he would have to fight. After all, he had the chance to go down the mountain after being able to get some identity in the temple (but of course Li Cunba would not know why he could contact the outside world, and that was the secret spies of the patrol guards' department were intentionally done by...), and he got on the line with military generals such as An Chongba who deliberately rebelled against the Wei Dynasty. Li Cunba also believed that based on his identity as the third son of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong, he should be able to win the support of some military generals with ambition to restore the country.

You, Li Siyuan, always say that you want to continue our Tang Dynasty country, but you are just the son of the mourning man collected by your father. You dare to claim to be the emperor... But now it is not convenient to be openly enemy of you. It is more important to seize the old land of the Tang Dynasty when the Wei Kingdom is in front of you... Now you are arrogant for a while, but if you can expect to restore the country, the emperor's position in the future should only be owned by me, the legitimate descendant of Zhuxie Li's family, and you, a bastard from Shatuo, cannot tolerate you, a bastard from other Shatuo tribe, to sit there!

Li Cunba thought resentfully in his heart, and did not notice the subtle changes in his expression on his face, which also made An Chonghui, who was watching coldly on one side, see clearly... He then forced a little smile and said to Li Siyuan:

"Fortunately, Duke Ming was determined to be like a wandering in the north, and he still did not forget to revive my Tang Dynasty... Just relying on these little soldiers and horses, even if he was determined to restore the country, it would be really difficult to ascend to heaven. After all, Duke Ming recruited troops from outside the border to enter the pass. We shared the same hatred for the enemy and planned great causes, and we also had more hope to revive the mountains and rivers of our hometown.

It is not appropriate to go late at the moment, and we must gallop at night and head south. We will take advantage of the Wei Dynasty's Datong Army governor Xie Yanzhang inspecting the border defense in the west, attacking Yunzhong as soon as possible, and regaining the lost land in Daibei... It is a matter of speed, so we should not delay any more!"
