Chapter 722 The fuse of the two great powers has been ignited

"Shishou Li Jieshou is willing to be the chief of our Wei Dynasty, I should treat him well. After hearing that the King of Jin was appointed as emperor, he posthumously awarded the father of Li Jieshou, the father of Zhaoyi Army, and enjoyed the title of the prince of Longxi. Our dynasty can also give him the title of the prince of the county. Just like other subordinates and vassal states, the military and political affairs under the rule of Zhaoyi Army were decided by Li Jiedu.

As for the annual tribute, the Zhaoyi Army is also the only way to act cheaply. If foreign enemies attack the Zhaoyi Army, I will serve as the reliance of Li Jiedu and send military rescue. This is the benefit of the Zhaoyi Army.

Since the Zhaoyi Army has been vain to our dynasty, Li Jiedu must also send his son to Bianjing to settle down. When our Wei Dynasty and the Jin people are fighting, the Zhaoyi Army must also lead troops to support us, and our army stations the important pass in order to use troops to the north. Is your Zhaoyi Army still able to rely on these things?"

Li Tianqu soon offered another condition, and he knew very well that for the selfish Li Jitao, as long as he could enjoy full autonomy and promised the Zhaoyi Army's vassal states to save money and grain for his private property... unless the Later Tang Dynasty had the strength to destroy the Wei Dynasty, this guy would always be a traitor to the Li family in Hedong.

After hearing Li Tianqu say it, Wei Zhuo showed joy. After all, according to the wishes of his master Li Jitao, whether he continued to finally end the Later Tang Dynasty or turned to the Wei Dynasty, he really wanted to be a free and easy person to close the door and become a local emperor. If you ask me for soldiers, money, and food, even if I was the power that I once loyal to, I would still rebel; whoever could meet my requirements, I would be willing to be the master in name...

Therefore, Wei Zhuo knew that this mission had been successfully completed at least from his standpoint, so he immediately bowed repeatedly:

"Your Majesty is kind and wise, and you will be kind to the town. I am very pleased to thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the general of the rituals!"

However, Li Tianqu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked again:

"Although Li Jiedu and the vassal generals were willing to join our dynasty, the rest of the military states under Zhaoyi Town were willing to change their flags and flags?"

"this......"

After hearing this, Wei Zhuo's hesitation turned a little away on his face. In this situation, of course, he still had to pat his chest to make a promise, and immediately replied:

"Since Li Jieshuai succeeded his father's title, he declared that he was the governor of the Zhaoyi Army before the King of Jin issued an edict, and the soldiers of the various yamen had never opposed it. Now that the flags were changed and the court was transferred to the court, I believe that the soldiers of the vassal states would also obey..."

Li Tianqu snorted lightly and said:

"The Zhaoyi Army is under the command of the Ya Army. After all, it was mostly former Li Sizhao's direct subordinates. In my opinion, now that the Ya Army soldiers are in rebelling against Jin and joining Wei, I am afraid that someone will inevitably be dissatisfied... Just go back and convey my meaning to Li Jiedu, and our Wei Dynasty will also dispatch troops and station troops at the junction of Zhaoyi Army.

Li Jiedu had no need to worry. If Zhao Yi army had not sent envoys to ask for help, our army would not have crossed the border without authorization. But... If there were indeed people in Zhao Yi army who were in charge of the city because they were unwilling to surrender to our dynasty, they would have to accept the Jin people into the vassal states... Our army can help Li Jiedu to destroy the rebels in time, so that he could be more stable in his position as the commander of the vassal state?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After Wei Zhuo returned and reported to Li Jitao, six or seven days passed. The Zhaoyi Army's vassal state capital brought the banner of the Wei Dynasty, claiming to escape from the King of Jin Li Cunxu, who was the usurpant of the emperor, and turned to Emperor Wei Li Tianqu.

Since then, Li Cunxu originally intended to instigate the Ziqing Army to surrender, but except for Liu Zhijun, who was almost the commander-in-law, who fled to Taiyuan in a panic, he was in vain. However, Li Tianqu had no intention at all, but the Jin army lost a vassal state.

However, the process of Zhao Yi's army's transition to the Wei Dynasty was destined to not be smooth.

When he learned that Li Jitao, who had originally launched a mutiny and imprisoned his brother and seized the position of Jiedu, turned against the Li family in Hedong. After joining the Wei Dynasty, Pei Yue, the general in Zezhou under the rule of Zhaoyi Army, immediately raised his troops to rebel... The Jieduo dared to betray the Tang Dynasty (the Jin State claimed to be), so we would create a rebellion from the vassal state!

After all, Li Sizhao, a famous general who was in charge of Zhaoyi Army in the past, was not only the adopted son of the late emperor, but also one of the most outstanding heroes of the Jin Dynasty in Hedong. Most of the soldiers selected and sharpened by him were also engraved with the imprint of the Li family in Hedong. Li Jitao launched a mutiny to imprison Li Jiqi, and claimed to take over the Zhaoyi Army's vassal states. This was ultimately the family affairs of the general, and the position of generals was still taken over by Li Sizhao's descendants, and so on, such as Pei Yue and other fangs were not convenient to interfere.

However, Li Jitao took advantage of the fact that the judge of the Jiedu Army was transferred to Chengde Army as Jiedu for his merits, and he made his own decision to betray Hedong, which touched the rebellious scales of some generals of Zhaoyi Army.

Li Tianqu naturally knew that there would be a person like Pei Yue in Zhaoyi Army. He was originally a deputy general under Li Sizhao. When Li Jitao, the unfilial son who was waiting for the generals according to his original trajectory, claimed to be in the Liang Dynasty. He shouted grief and angry, "I have been in trouble for more than 20 years. I saw him share his money and want to avenge Liang, but unfortunately died early. Now my husband and father have not been buried, and I have violated my relatives. I can die here and cannot follow him to return to Liang."...

Zhu Wen sent Liang general Dong Zhang to assist Li Jitao in the fight. On the eve of the reinforcements sent by Li Cunxu arrived in Zezhou, Pei Yue fought hard, but was outnumbered. He fought until his stomach broke out and his intestines flowed. He even tried his best to put his intestines back into his stomach and continued to resist, but he was still dead in battle.

During the Song and Jin dynasties, the court was grateful to Pei Yue for his loyalty and bravery towards the Later Tang Dynasty, so he posthumously named him the Marquis of Zhonglie and built a ancestral hall for his descendants to mourn. However, according to Li Tianqu's position, Li Jitao belonged to the scum traitor of the Hedong Jin people, but instead had to support him. As for Pei Yue, the loyal faction of the Li family in Hedong... Of course, he could only be eliminated as soon as possible.

Since Li Tianqu had expected it before, when Pei Yue announced that he would fight against the Jiedu of the town and rebelled against Jin and Wei, several armies rushed to Danchuan City, which was in the Zezhou Prefecture's capital, with Li Jitao's promise.

The Ya army troops stationed in the outer counties and towns of Danchuan Cheng, who opposed Li Jitao's surrender to Wei, also rushed and killed several armies. After clearing the periphery, rows of catapults were arranged in front of Danchuan City, and stone bombs were shot out one by one, and they launched a violent blow like a storm towards the city.

Soon, a layer of corpses was added under the city gate. When the strong wind was blown up, there were also a burst of bloody aura. Above the head of Danchuan City, the Zhaoyi army general Pei Yue was angry and clawed his teeth. He immediately looked out to the endless Wei army formation outside. The back teeth were bitten by him, and the sadness and anger on his face were already beyond words...

"The general was originally the adopted son of the former king, who made great achievements for the Li family in Hedong and made great reputations. But the second son... Li Jitao's unfilial son was so confused that he tarnished the reputation of the general. How could he join the Wei Dog of the Southern Dynasty?

We, Hedonger Lang, followed the generals through life and death, naturally decided not to betray the king and relatives, and gave Zhaoyi Town to the Southern Dynasty! All the brothers followed me! Even if Li Jitao surrendered, Wei Gou of the Southern Dynasty wanted to take Danchuan of Zezhou unless he stepped over our corpse!"

Pei Yue suddenly raised the sword in his hand and roared loudly with confidence. When a cluster of arrows were passing by overhead, he saw that several long ladders had hooked up on the wall, so he cursed again and led his followers to rush up regardless of their own...

Although Pei Yue vowed to defend Danchuan City to the death, the commander of his command was only 6,000. Li Tianqu responded immediately and took the lead in the Wei army entering Zezhou, with a force of about 50,000. After clearing all the town villages in the periphery, he immediately formed an encirclement against Danchuan City.

As for the vassal state where Li Jitao was stationed, it was located in the north of Zezhou. Therefore, Pei Yue defended the city and refused to surrender to Wei, so he was destined to be trapped in a desperate situation where he was attacked from all sides.

However, during this period, Li Jitao, the governor of Zhaoyi Army, dared to change his flag and join Wei, and Pei Yue, the governor of Zezhou, rebelled by the city. Even the Wei army had invaded the territory under Zhaoyi Town, and the news that Li Cunxu, who had become emperor for a while, had finally made it known...
