904 The Two Heroes Play, If You Move, I Will Move
"Shi Jianyan died in the Tongtian Gorge. Zhang Wanjin led his troops to Jiangzhou to retreat. The Yinan Khitanzhi, led by Li Shaobin, was also forced to retreat for Gao Xingzhou and retreated to the north of Xiangyuan, Luzhou.
However, Zhou Dewei's troops were sent to Liaozhou, Li Sien led his troops to Zanhuang Mountain in Zhaozhou, and Li Siyuan crossed the Wudi River in Cangzhou. It was obvious that Li Yazi wanted to regain his territory by recapturing Zhaoyi's army and annexing the territory. However, the war was not good, and he was unwilling to give up and could not stop..."
Li Tianqu also knew the war reports from Zhao Yi army in the Bianjing court. At present, Xia Luqi and Gao Xingzhou have rushed to the Luzhou territory. The two troops that were first attacked by the Later Tang Dynasty were frustrated, but there were other military troops ready to move... On the Wei Dynasty, all the armies were also ready to go to war.
Li Tianqu feels that now he is facing Li Cunxu, and it seems that they are grabbing a deck of cards. Both sides have to figure out when they should play the good cards in their hands. But when they fight each other, the ace they play may not have any effect, but will be eaten by the other party...
Although Li Cunxu still holds a few good cards in his hand, Li Tianqu knows that his cards should be better and he has more chips. This game can only continue. Li Cunxu still has to continue playing cards and betting, so the risk of his losses incurred by the family is also increasing step by step.
In the inner court hall, not only were there a group of high-ranking military generals in the front office of the Jingji Hall, as well as Liang Zhen and other advisers to attend the military discussion. Even Weizhuang, Wang Shifan, Luo Zhixiang, Han Jian, Zhu Jian and other civil officials who were mainly responsible for assisting and governing the government gathered together.
When he first met Li Tianqu, Wang Shifan, the former governor of Zibo Qing Army, who was only sixteen years old, was almost in his prime. Now he was transferred to the right servant of the Wei Dynasty and the Minister of the Secretariat. Before he was forty, he had become a first-rank official and was not only a contribution to his contribution to the vassal state, but also more capable than other civil officials in his age.
After all, when Wang Shifan was in charge of the Ziqing Army in his early years, he was well versed in governing the government and pacifying the people. He was humble and honest, and was a clean and upright official. When Li Tianqu was the emperor and reorganized, he had a high starting point. With Luo Yin's retirement, the Wei Dynasty cleared out several powerful ministers. Although Wei Zhuang was still unwilling to accept his old age and had to work on the front line of the officialdom, he was already old and his energy was weaker... Wang Shifan, a young man who was at the top of the power when the Wei Dynasty was founded, gradually approached the top of the regime, which was well deserved.
After years of hardship, Wang Shifan was not as passionate as he was when he was back then, but he was prone to being passionate about his blood... He was still elegant and elegant, but he became more and more calm and steadfast. This time, Li Tianqu summoned the civil servants of the regents to discuss military affairs. Wang Shifan said as soon as he was aware of it:
"Hedong Shatuo, we are accused of inheriting the orthodox family of the previous dynasty. We must be enemies with our dynasty and should be punished. We should only fight to destroy the pseudo dynasty, but we will not be able to make a decision every day... Now that the Jin thief has invaded Zhaoyi's army again, His Majesty has dispatched various troops to go north and summoned ministers to discuss. Could it be that they are going to temporarily entrust state affairs and want to lead the imperial army in person?"
"This is not urgent. I have to wait and see when the Jin lord can suppress it. But I believe that Li Yazi is becoming increasingly uneasy. After all, he is better at fighting than governing. Whether he is the heir or the king, he is often good at fighting in the field.
Although the king of a country is not easy to move, Li Yazi is eager to revitalize his national strength, but he is stalemate with the powerful army of our dynasty. Sooner or later, he will take the method he is best at.
If the Jin lord acts, I should go and meet him in person. After all, it is related to the fate of our dynasty and the Jin people. Even if Li Yazi doesn't know it because of the treacherous slander around him, he will eventually fight for the world with me..."
Li Tianqu said a long voice, looking around the ministers in the hall, the clear voice became louder again:
"When I was in charge of the army, our dynasty will not only be the capital, Yangwu, Ziqing, and Weibo, and all the troops from Guanzhong will come out, and the towns in Guanzhong will jointly attack the Jin people's west Fuyan, Hezhong and Xiasui. Yan Keqiu has already made designs and deployments to separate from the Party and Xiang, and can also use plans at that time. At that time, I will lead the Hu Ben to fight against the Jin people, so naturally I will have to trouble all my dear ministers to preside over the national affairs on their behalf.
At present, the Jin people insisted on capturing Zhaoyi's army again, and several armies were ready to go. They might as well make the water more complicated, and prompt Li Yazi to go on an expedition and preside over the war. Since Li Sien, the Chengde Army, led troops past Zanhuangshan, thought that the Yangwu Army would send troops to Luzhou, he also intended to take advantage of the situation and Ge Congzhou was also time to avenge the previous Jin people's invasion.
The imperial edict ordered the capital and Yun, Cao and Pu to allocate troops to assist the Yangwu army in defending the city. Wang Yanzhang also led the military of the Daming Prefecture's Strategic Envoy, and went north to Xingzhou, thinking that the future would respond. Although Ge Congzhou let go of the attack... Li Yazi attacked the south repeatedly, but he thought our dynasty would not take the initiative to attack?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
However, after a few days, the military forces of the Later Tang Dynasty were about to take action, but the Wei Dynasty's army set off from the Julu in Xingzhou and rushed towards Zhaozhou under the rule of Chengde Army in the north.
The iron cavalry rolled, and the armored cavalry in the military formation was distinctive and the swords and guns were shiny. Whether it was armored and armed, or the power it showed, it was obviously different from the elite cavalry of ordinary troops. The array of infantry and cavalry mixed behind was continuous, and it was also orderly, and it also filled with a solemn atmosphere. The army was in a state of force, and was about to sweep away the counties of Lincheng, Baixiang, and Longping, the southern corner of Zhaozhou.
Ge Congzhou commanded the Ya army under his command, but did not go to aid the neighboring Zhaoyi army, but went north and took the initiative to attack the territory under the rule of the Later Tang Chengde Army. Of course, the defenders of the Rongbei border were unable to resist the main force of the Ya army in Yangwu, so they had to send a cavalry to repay Li Sien.
However, the fast horses traveled day and night, and the news that the enemy launched a large-scale north attack had not been reported to the army of Li Sien, who was camped on the southern foot of Zanhuang Mountain. Ge Congzhou personally commanded and after two days and nights of fierce attacks, it was located at the southernmost end of Zhaozhou. Longping County, which is closest to Xingzhou, was destroyed. Half of the defenders in the city were annihilated, and the rest were all captured by Yangwu Army...
"What? Ge Congzhou's commander of Yang Wu's army did not go to rescue Zhaoyi Town, but instead let go to attack Zhaozhou? The Southern Dynasties deployed so quickly, how could several enemy troops operate earlier than us? Can they now respond to each other? If one is attacked, the other is supported, and they are sure to invade our territory!?"
It was already night in the south of Zanhuang Mountain, and the torches in the camp that had been set up illuminated the surroundings. Junjian, who was patrolling and alert, was walking back and forth, and most of the soldiers had returned to the tent to rest. However, in the military tents, people complained from time to time, which sounded like it was because they had not received military pay, but they had to go to war, and they still had to fight for their lives...
Among the commander's tents in the camp, Li Sien heard the news that the military academy had been rushing to report the urgent news. He stood up, shocked and angry, but realized that the current situation of the battle was completely different from what he had expected.
After all, Ge Congzhou was one of the few famous generals in the Southern Dynasty... Although Li Sien was the adopted son of Li Keyong, the first lord of Hedong, and was also a founding general who was good at fighting in the Later Tang Dynasty. But he still remembered that he suffered losses when he fought with Ge Congzhou. To deal with this strong enemy, it would be necessary to coordinate several robes of military forces.
However, Ge Congzhou suddenly turned into defense to attack and directly entered the territory under the rule of Chengde Army... Li Sien had a bloody battle with the Liang army, and when they were defeated, they still fought to the death without fear. Although they were brave and brave in fighting every time, they were a brave general who dared to fight and kill. But at least he knew himself and weighed his previous experience of fighting with Ge Congzhou... Li Sien knew that if he only relied on his own troops to fight, his chances of winning against that famous general of the Wei Dynasty would not be very high.
This time the enemy came suddenly, and Li Sien shouted angrily, and immediately fell silent. He paced back and forth in the coach's tent, and after a moment, he suddenly shouted loudly:
"Come! After passing the order, the troops of all the troops immediately set up their camps and went east to Baixiang to defend. Ge Congzhou was good at fighting and attacking. I led my troops to take charge of the important pass of Zhaozhou. I didn't believe that he could break through the city wall!"
