Chapter 323: Wind and Cloud

In August of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Khitan people under Juyong Pass retreated silently, and it snowed in the northeast grassland, so they had to go back as soon as possible to prepare for the winter.

In the east, their robbing and happy clans also returned to the north, and their harvest was not too much, but compared to the other two ways of attacking Youzhou, it was one heaven and one underground.

This winter, the Xi tribes who sent troops to the Flying Fox Pass never waited for the warriors they went out to return to the grassland.

They will face an extremely harsh winter, and after that, they will have to face the rebuke of the Turkic Eastern Khan, and the Turks are not so easy to do.

A few Turks died, and they were worthy of a group of Xi deaths, and in the face of a powerful empire, a tribe like Xi could only be cannon fodder and pawns.

In fact, when they realized that the warriors of the tribe could not return, they moved closer to their people to the east, and they had to work together to continue the fight against the Khitan annexation.

The fighting in northern Hebei subsided.

Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng's troops, in addition to leaving 500 soldiers to be stationed under the Flying Fox Ridge to prevent the southward tribes, the two led their troops back to Zhuoxian County for the winter.

Wei Chigong's troops did not move, and they stayed in Juyong Pass.

At this time, the county town of Zhuojun was actually very empty, and people were not happy.

The people of Youzhou looked west and sighed, they will leave their hometown next year to live in Jindi, thousands of miles away, their homeland is difficult to leave, plus the fear of difficulties, who can be happy?

The Hengan Zhenjun was also not very happy, because they had been away from their hometown for too long. Many soldiers are homesick, and next spring will be in full bloom. There's still a lot to do, and the return date is far away. Even the cold wind in Hebei in winter, in their opinion, is not as loving as the cold wind in Jindi.

In August, after the first heavy snowfall came, Hebei was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and the people of Daizhou entered Hebei, stirring up the wind and clouds, making everyone feel helpless.

This winter, they all need to think about it. After those tigers and wolves in Daizhou are gone, what kind of situation should Hebei be?

The people of Anle and Yuyang counties, who had been plundered, shivered in the cold wind.

At this time in previous years, they could always get more or less grain and grass back in Zhuo County, but this year they don't have to count on it.

And they were also attacked by the Khitan and the Tatar people, and the situation they faced in the future will be extremely difficult.

As a result, many people remembered the benefits of Luo Yi and gritted their teeth with hatred for the people of Daizhou. In fact, since ancient times, many times the Jin and Youzhou people have been enemies.

Wei Dao'er curled up in the river, staring at the territory of Youzhou. He is waiting for the people of Daizhou to withdraw and go back, and he wants to enter Youzhou.

Needless to say, this vulture-like scavenging character. How much territory he gave him was in vain.

Moreover, Wei Dao'er also ignored Dou Jiande.

He thought that there were Daizhou people in Youzhou. Dou Jiande didn't dare to do anything to him.

And he was completely wrong, losing Song Jingang, the mysterious aid. The tributary he led was placed in front of Dou Jiande like a dish.

As a result, a pool of backwater-like Hebei finally had an episode.

In the winter, Dou Jiande pretended to send Wei Dao'er a rich gift, that is, some grain and grass, and on the other hand, he secretly ordered his henchmen to lead more than 100,000 troops to raid Wei Dao'er's camp in Hejian, defeat Wei Dao'er in one fell swoop, eradicate the last rebel army that can still compete with him in Hebei now, and prepare for the domination of Hebei.

Of course, he also saw very clearly that the people of Daizhou would not stay in Youzhou for a long time, so Wei Dao'er lost its use value.

A big victory, but did not make Dou Jiande happy, his pain lies in the fact that the place he occupies, sparsely populated, barren fields, has long been ravaged by the war over and over again, and he can't get the mountains of grain in Zhuo County, his situation is not wonderful.

Especially when Youzhou is empty, he may soon face the Turks in the north.

Although he sent envoys to contact the Turks very happily, and he never fell behind when he asked for titles or anything, but he was born as a low-level officer in the government army, and he didn't know much about the Turks, so how should he deal with the Turks face to face in the future? He didn't have any bottom in his heart.

So, Dou Jiande was also looking at Zhuojun with red eyes, and he also gritted his teeth with hatred from the people of Daizhou.

At this time, a major event happened in Henan, which made Dou Jiande finally look at the south of the Yellow River.

Zhai Rang, a bandit leader who was born as a jailer, was in a low voice for a long time after being turned against Li Mi, and finally began to be restless after being instigated by his subordinates.

The gap between Zhai Rang's troops and Li Mi's subordinates is getting deeper and deeper, and Zhai Rang's subordinates are also drooling at the big warehouse near Luoyang, and they have a grudge against Li Mi for occupying the big warehouse, but he has never given them much food, and his resentment is getting deeper and deeper.

Li Mi was also tired of the vicious gaze from behind him, and at the same time, Zhai Rangbu, who was entrenched on the ground in Zhengzhou, also made him feel like a man.

So, taking advantage of this winter, he returned to Zhengzhou.

After a deceitful scheme, he and Zhai Rang staged a miniature version of the Xuanwumen Change.

I can't say who did it first, or how good the trap was.

Anyway, after a feast, Zhai Rang died.

In August of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Mi and Zhai Rang, and killed more than a dozen of Zhai Rang's henchmen, and annexed this old team that started from Wagang.

At this time, Li Mi's command can be described as a brilliant general, with many talented people and brave generals.

At this time, Dou Jiande of Hebei looked at Li Mi with envy, and felt that this person was really a character, and Luoyang would become his foundation sooner or later, and there was a lot of grain and rice in Luoyang......

So, Dou Jiande sent an envoy across the Yellow River this winter and had a friendly exchange with Li Mi.

Li Mi was overjoyed, Hebei Dou Jiande actually had the intention of surrendering, this is really an opportunity given to him by God, so he ordered someone to send some food to Dou Jiande, and prepared to completely subdue this Hebei Changle King Yu after conquering Luoyang.

But at this point, he became more and more conceited, and he didn't realize that the sequelae of Huo and Zhai Rang were attacking.

Zhai Rang is actually a banner of the Wagang Army, you can set him up, but you must not kill him, which is the same reason that those last emperors can still be emperors for a long time.

Even the generals under Li Mi's command all had a sense of sadness after Zhai Rang's death, let alone Zhai Rang's old subordinates.

This time, no matter how good Li Mi is and how powerful his reasons are, he can't get rid of his reputation of ingratitude.

You must know that it was Zhai Rang who single-handedly built the Wagang Army, and it was Zhai Rang who took him in when Li Mi was in trouble and gave him trust and space to display his talents.

Later, Li Mi's power gradually became strong, and although Zhai Rang was unwilling, he still gave up most of the military power and gave up the main position.

After all these things, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, and this version of the story is really a bit disgusting.

As soon as Zhai Rang died, Li Mi's character was very bad, and there was already an undercurrent in the army.

The generals of Henan already lack loyalty, and this is even more true at this time, Zhang Xutuo's old subordinates are self-contained and look on coldly, Cheng Zhijie and others laugh left and right, but they despise the virtue of Li Mi, the son of the gate lord, in their hearts.

Zhai Rang's old subordinates were disgruntled and very reluctant to work for Li Mi.

At this point, there have been dense cracks inside the Wagang Army, which has changed from a two-headed snake to a one.

At first glance, their strength has soared, but they are actually going downhill.

And the most important point is that Li Mi is a fortunate person, when he fled, even many relatives and friends were involved, and he didn't see him have a little remorse, he was busy for his own life, and he didn't care about how others were.

After taking over the power, many shortcomings have also been exposed, self-serving, suspicious, fickle, capricious, in fact, once the powerful have such shortcomings, it is a disaster.

So, after Henan Li Mi tossed the bones of the eastern part of Henan, he finally began to walk his wheat city.

The world is changing, Li Po, who has become one of them, has a good winter, killed Luo Yi, and by the way, he dug a big pit for the future king of Hebei, and he is honestly staying in Zhuo County, looking at his grain and grass.

For him, thirteen years of great cause is a bit difficult.

The Turks went south, came to Youzhou in the east, fought against the Youzhou army, killed Song Jingang, fought Wei Dao'er, Dou Jiande, and fought with Hebei Qunxiong one by one, and then fought Xi Bu, Khitan, and mixed with the trouble of collecting buildings, Yanmen, and Youzhou immigrants.

World War after war, Li Po was a little blindsided, I don't know what happened to this great cause for thirteen years, is it an unlucky relationship with numbers?

But no matter what, he survived, and the war-weariness began to rise in his heart, in other words, he also wanted to return to Yunnei quickly.

He can see this place in Hebei now, the sky here is already full of anger, and in the past few years, from top to bottom, his eyes have been red, he has been staying here for a long time, I am afraid that it will be the same as those people.

It's still good to Jindi, you only need to face one enemy of the Turks, although you are tossed by the Turks a little harder, and you are dying every year, but the infighting is far less fierce than in Hebei.

Therefore, staying in the county guard mansion of Zhuo County, his spirit is not high, except for patrolling the military camp, stepping up the arrangement of moving grain and grass in the coming year, and immigration, he spent almost half of his time in the county guard's mansion, and Mao Dong went.

Of course, this is also because he has a good helper, Wen Yanbo is a little sour, but he works very hard, and under running back and forth, many county officials have been transferred by him, and by the way, they have become officials under Li Po's rule. (To be continued.) )
