Chapter 379: Dizhou Rebellion
Leaving Texas, Li Ze went straight to Dizhou non-stop.
Dizhou assassin Shi Yang Wei, long history Lu Guan, don't drive Li Hao to the state border to greet him.
Li Ze chose Dizhou for the second stop of his inspection this time, and naturally it was not without reason. Dizhou is adjacent to Pinglu Jiezhen, when Li Ze and Henghai started a war, Zhu Shou of Henghai Jiezhen at that time sent Dizhou to Pinglu after a series of defeats, in exchange for Pinglu to send troops to help, but did not want to be defeated by Shi Zhuang's troops, Pinglu Jiedu made Hou Xiyi flee back to Pinglu in embarrassment, and Dizhou assassin Shi Yang Wei, finally under Shi Zhuang's military oppression, chose to surrender to Wuwei and became a part of Wuwei.
But I have to say that Zhu Shou's move still left a truth for Pinglu, even though Hou Xiyi suffered a defeat, but he still remembered Dizhou, in his opinion, it was natural for him to get Dizhou, and Wuwei's annexation of Dizhou was unreasonable.
In the past two years, Hou Xiyi has not stopped.
Of course, with the growing strength of Wuwei, Hou Xiyi's goal of counting on getting Dizhou by force has become more and more slim, but Dizhou is not monolithic. One of the most important reasons is Li Ze's Dutian plan implemented in Dizhou.
Because Dizhou is not like the vast majority of Cangzhou, which was annexed by force, and the entire Dizhou surrendered with Yang Wei, Li Ze naturally could not raise a knife to threaten the big clans in his territory, but could only boil frogs in warm water and come step by step.
But no one is stupid, no matter how slow Lu Guan and the others are, they will eventually move forward step by step, these clan heroes in Dizhou are also under more and more pressure, the knife is hanging above their heads, you expect people to lead the neck to be killed, it is naturally impossible, kill a pig, drag it out of the pigsty, it still has to struggle desperately, jump a few times, not to mention that these clan heroes are still very powerful.
So collusion with Pinglu Hou Xiyi became their inevitable choice.
Seeing Li Ze, Yang Wei, the assassin of Dizhou, was terrified, and he shook his head to the ground: "Jie Shuai, it is the weakness of his subordinates that has led to today's disaster." ”
Li Ze smiled and helped him up: "This has nothing to do with Yang Tingshi, it's an abscess, you have to squeeze them out, if you let them continue to develop like this, I don't know what will happen in the future." I am glad that you stood firm in this affair and were not in the least moved by the lobbyists who had been sent. ”
Li Ze's words sounded clueless, but Yang Wei instantly sweated in the winter, his face suddenly turned from flush to white, and he couldn't stand on his feet anymore, if Li Ze wasn't still holding him, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground.
A rebellion is brewing in Dizhou, and the main body of the rebellion is those landlords. These people sent people to find Yang Wei in an attempt to persuade Yang Wei to join together, after all, in Dizhou, the Yang family is the most powerful, and it still is. But Yang Wei was the first rat at both ends, and he didn't agree in the end. On the contrary, he persuaded them to accept the reality, and Pinglu Hou Xiyi would definitely not be Wuwei's opponent.
However, his persuasion failed, and after the failure to mobilize Yang Wei, these people instead accelerated the steps of the rebellion. However, obviously, what these people never expected was that the battle between Wu Wei and Lu Long would be so quickly divided into winners and losers, and in the battle on the banks of the Yishui River, Lu Long was defeated and lost, these people were terrified, but instead of stopping, they were ready to act immediately.
Because they knew very well that once Li Ze eased up, they were afraid that they would attack them immediately.
This is also the reason why Li Ze immediately went south to Texas after returning to Wuyi.
Until now, the rebels still think that they have a great chance, because the main force of Wuwei is all facing off against Lu Long's army at this time, and in Dizhou, only a 3,000 armor soldier led by Li Hao is stationed.
As long as they can defeat Li Hao, take Dizhou, and take advantage of the bad weather of this cold winter, they may be able to hold out until the beginning of spring next year, and in a few months, they can still manage Dizhou well to resist Wuwei's counterattack, of course, the reason why they have such confidence is that Pinglu Hou Xiyi will also send 5,000 cavalry to support them. The price, of course, was that after success, they joined Pinglu.
And behind Pinglu Hou Xiyi, now stands Xuanwu Zhu Wen. Hou Xiyi has the courage to argue with Wu Wei, and it is because of a secret meeting between him and Zhu Wen.
On the basis of this meeting, Zhu Wen gave Hou Xiyi a detailed analysis of the battle situation between Wuwei and Lu Long, although Wuwei won the battle on the banks of the Yishui River, but that battle could only be a tragic victory, Zhang Zhongwu's follow-up response was also extremely fast, he broke his arm to survive, took the initiative to give up Youzhou, the main force retreated to Yingzhou, but stationed a large army in Pingzhou and other places to fight against Wuwei, Zhang Zhongwu's main cavalry did suffer heavy losses, but the strength of the infantry was still there, and then although the attack and defense changed, Zhang Zhongwu turned to defend, On the contrary, it can create great trouble for Li Ze.
In a word, if Li Ze wants to defeat Lu Long, it is by no means a matter of a short period of time, and he must go all out, otherwise Zhang Zhongwu will have the strength to fight back.
At this time, how could Li Ze care about the gains and losses of this small place in Dizhou? In order to encourage Hou Xiyi to make a move to Wuwei, Zhu Wen gave him great help in terms of funds and materials.
And the reason why Hou Xiyi chose to vote for Zhu Wen is naturally because of Zhu Wen's strong strength, don't look at Zhu Wen is only nominally an envoy of Xuanwu Festival, but his real influence is far more than that, in Hou Xiyi's view, Zhang Zhongwu will inevitably fail because he is too ostentatious, and a strong but good ninja like Zhu Wen can succeed.
As for Wuwei Li Ze, let's not say that this stinky kid has an enmity with himself, even if he can defeat Zhang Zhongwu, how much strength he will have to take care of the situation in Guanzhong Heluo at that time is a problem, and when he recovers, I am afraid that the overall situation of the world has been decided, and at that time, he will still be a festival town, in this case, what is he afraid of?
At this time, Li Ze really didn't expect that in this matter, Xuanwu Zhu Wen intervened so deeply, he just thought that he was just waiting for Xi Yili to make Zhi faint and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.
However, he really didn't take Hou Xiyi in his eyes.
His main forces are indeed on the front line of Zhuo County and Mozhou, but to pack up Hou Xiyi's outstretched claws, do you still need him to mobilize these front-line field troops?
Li Zeren is in Texas, but the main force of his personal guards has quietly moved to Linyi County, Texas, which is a stone's throw away from the main concentration point of this rebellion, Shanghe County, Dizhou.
"Let's talk about the specifics!" A few horsemen slowly moved forward, and hundreds of pro-guards and righteous servants wrapped these in the center under the leadership of Li Yu.
"Jieshuai, the rebellion was dominated by Tian Chong, the commander of Shanghe County and the largest powerful landlord in Shanghe County, who hooked up with several of the largest landlords in Dizhou, and secretly gathered about 3,000 villagers in Shanghe. Our people in Shanghe are afraid that they have all suffered misfortune now, in order not to startle the snakes, and in order to be able to gather these people and annihilate them, although we know, we can't take the initiative to rescue them. Lu Guan was a little sad.
Li Ze was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "Afterwards, make more compensation to their families." ”
"Yes!" Lu Guan nodded: "The opponent's plan is very simple, that is, to openly rebel in Shanghe first, and lure General Li Hao's 3,000 armor soldiers stationed in Yangxin, Dizhou, to quell the rebellion, and they will confront General Li Hao in Shanghe, and when the two sides fight fiercely, the 5,000 cavalry of Pinglu Hou Xiyi will appear on the battlefield, in order to completely annihilate General Li Hao's department." At the same time, the people they colluded with in Yangyang and other places will be launched together, causing a rebellion throughout the territory. ”
Li Ze smiled and nodded: "Very good, although it is simple, it is very practical." If we don't know anything, we might actually know what they did. ”
"What to do next, please show me the marshal!" Lu Guandao.
"Follow the plan you have told!" Li Zedao: "The internal guards led by Tian Bo have secretly arrived in Yangxin and other places, and as soon as the war starts here, the participants of the rebellion will be immediately arrested over there to ensure that the rest of Dizhou is peaceful." Lu Guan and Tian Bo coordinated with each other, this time, don't be afraid of killing people anymore. ”
"My subordinates understand." Lu Guan nodded.
"After the Shanghe incident broke out, Li Hao immediately led the army out of Yangyang County and went to Shanghe, you just hit Shanghe County, and Hou Xiyi's support army will be handed over to me to deal with." Li Ze smiled.
"My subordinates understand, Childe, this weather is cold, you don't need to go to the battlefield in person, let's go to Yangxin and wait for our good news, kill Hou Xiyi's support army, Li Mi is enough, kill the chicken with a knife?" Li Hao said with a smile.
Li Mi also nodded: "Childe, I mean the same thing." ”
Li Ze glanced at Li Mi: "What?" With three thousand against five thousand, there is no certainty of victory, and I am afraid that I will take risks, so let me avoid it first? ”
Li Mi suddenly blushed, and the hand holding the horse whip was bruised: "Childe, if you want to say that you want to use three thousand relatives to defend the righteous against the Shanglu dragoons, I am indeed a little apprehensive in my heart, but against the Shangping Lu cavalry, they are really not enough for us to cut." ”
"That's it!" Li Ze laughed: "I won't go to Yangxin." I'd like to see Pinglu's soldiers with my own eyes, how about it? Where did Hou Xiyi come from to dare to provoke me! ”
Listening to Li Ze's words, he finished the assignment, but he didn't have anything to do, Yang Wei on the side sweated non-stop, and said in the future: "Jie Shuai, subordinates can also contribute a piece of strength." ”
"How could you forget the history of Yang Thorn?" Li Ze said with a smile: "Lu Guan, Tian Bo, their task is heavy, and it is more complicated than the battlefield on Li Hao's side, so Yang Tingshi is the main one, and the two of them are supplemented, and the power in Yang Tingshi's hands has also joined them, Shang He estimates that this time it will be robbed, but the rest of Dizhou must be absolutely stable, and those rebels must be taken down with lightning speed, without Yang Tingshi, they really can't do it." ”
Yang Wei took a deep breath, he knew very well that after this incident, he and the local Haoqiang in Dizhou were completely broken, and there was no room for accommodation, and in the future, he could only follow the young marshal in front of him with one mind.
