The change of people has never been achieved overnight, not that today is like this, after three or two days, it suddenly changed a face, if such a thing really happened, it can only be said that this person was originally what he is now, before, it was just a good disguise and did not let people notice.

Just like the more than 10,000 Shence troops led by Xue Ping, they were all born in Heluo Pass and had been under the authority of the emperor for a long time, so they naturally admired, feared and loyal to the emperor. After all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and they can always enjoy many things that people in other places can't enjoy, which also makes them always grateful to the court in front of them. They probably or all think that their lives are much better than those of people from other places.

The pride of the imperial city comes from this.

They hated and hated all those who were not loyal to the emperor and the court, and they wished that all these people would die.

Just like the 10,000 gods of the army, when they just walked out of Guanzhong Heluo, these people's minds were the same as those mentioned above, even for Wuwei Jiezhen, who was loyal to the imperial court on the bright side, they were also vigilant, and there was a kind of psychological advantage from above.

But when they really come out, see the outside world, and comprehend different lives, they will find that the world is not what they imagined.

Especially those ordinary soldiers, their worldview has been greatly impacted in Wuwei.

It turned out that the people here were much richer than they were.

It turns out that the officials here are much fairer, just and honest than where they are.

It turns out that as a military man, they can be treated with such respect.

Every day in Wuwei, their original pride is being washed layer by layer.

The Wuwei people are imperceptibly destroying the original faith of this army from the depths of their hearts little by little.

Or, the high-level and middle-level officers still maintain their original intentions, but the imbalance in the hearts of ordinary soldiers is increasing day by day. Speaking of which, we are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but look at our own days, think about the Jingzi of the family members who are still in Heluo, Guanzhong, and then look at the lives of these local people?

People are afraid to compare themselves with others.

This comparison, the gap comes out.

If it is two completely different classes of people, this feeling of inequality, or that is, after a burst of scolding, tends to calm down, and is willing to accept their fate, only blaming themselves for being born in the wrong place. But if everyone is in the same class, but there is such a big contrast in life, how can people swallow this breath?

I was better than you!

You got it, why didn't I get it?

I worked hard, I was hardworking, I was loyal, I gave everything I had, but I didn't get everything that corresponded. So what's the problem? Naturally, there is a problem at the top.

Li Ze's super generous reward for the soldiers of the Shence Army who died or were disabled in the battle in Matouzhai became the last straw that crushed the camel. Now it seems that the price of working hard for Wuwei Festival Town is much more expensive.

This undercurrent, or Xue Ping hasn't felt it yet, but Li Ze has already had a basic understanding through various channels, so he didn't take Xue Ping's vigilance seriously.

Come on, come on! Get me all your best soldiers.

I was disrespectful, appreciative and laughing.

But it's easy to come, and when you want to take it back, I'm afraid you won't be able to control this force.

It is easy to be thrifty and luxurious, but it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!

has enjoyed the priority of Wuwei Festival Town for the soldiers in all aspects, and then let them return to the ranks of the low-status big-headed soldiers in the past, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as scolding the mother.

"How lenient is the section commander to Pinglu!" Xue Ping was a little indignant, "I have repeatedly provoked the marshal and provoked the imperial court, but I just broke the outstretched hand and didn't teach him a heavy lesson?" ”

Li Ze also made an angry and unwilling look: "No way, now our main force is on the front line of Lu Long, it is easy to interrupt his outstretched hand, but if you want to teach him to be a man, you have more than enough heart and not enough strength!" Besides, there are still people standing behind Hou Xiyi, and I am also worried that once a war with Pinglu is easily provoked, it will attract a backlash from other festivals and towns in the mainland, and at that time, I am afraid that Wuwei will be difficult to resist, and the imperial court will be embarrassed and difficult to behave. ”

Xue Ping said hatefully: "Is it Xuanwu? ”

"Is it just Xuanwu? There are also Wei Bo and other festival towns! Li Ze sighed: "I defeated Henghai, didn't Wei Botian Shuai write to the court, saying that Chengde was arrogant and domineering, and he was not guilty and sentenced to Zhu Shou?" If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court took it over at that time and determined that Zhu Shou was a rebellious minister and thief, I was afraid that Wei Bo would have united with Pinglu and other places to ask us for the guilt! ”

Li Ze said this is the truth, although Zhu Shou provoked first, but Li Ze didn't care about 3721, he burned Texas, and half a year later, he defeated Wei Bo again, and even killed Zhu Shou's family cleanly, which did cause a controversy in the court at that time.

"Tian Chenghei, this is scared!" Xue Ping said.

"He's not scared!" Li Ze said with a smile: "He originally wanted to take advantage of a loophole, but we acted quickly, and he didn't expect Henghai to fall so quickly, and when he was ready, our side had already stabilized his position, and with the endorsement of the imperial court, he no longer had any excuses, this person is extraordinary!" Brother Xue, you still have to go to the imperial court, for places like Wei Bo and Xuanwu, you must be careful to take precautions! ”

"This is natural." Xue Ping nodded: "What about the east side of the river?" You oppose Han Qi as the envoy of the Hedong Festival, and there are a lot of complaints over there! ”

Li Ze sneered: "When Gao Shuai was alive, how heroic was Hedong, how could Han Qi also want to take the position of Hedong Jiedu?" When we fought with Lu Long, where was he, and even Zhang Jia's thousands of remnants still knew that they had come to my rescue? He has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he sits idly by, and wants to become Hedong Jiezhen, unless I, the governor of Qianniuwei, don't do it. ”

"Actually, what's the difference between him and Hedong Jiedu now?" Xue Ping sighed: "The meaning of the imperial court is that I still want to persuade the marshal to value peace, although Han Qi now has a self-respecting army, he is still loyal to the imperial court." ”

"Impossible!" Li Ze said sharply: "I still have the position of the general manager of the northland march, he is just staying behind now, and he dares to disobey my orders, if he really becomes the commander of the Hedong Festival, won't he even more take me in his eyes?" If he wants to be the commander of the Hedong Festival, he can also do it, as long as he leads the main force, goes out of Daizhou, crosses the Sanggan River, approaches Fuzhou and Danzhou, and takes these two places, then I, Li Ze, will be the first to write to ask His Majesty to canonize him as the envoy of the Hedong Festival. ”

Xue Ping shook his head, knowing that this matter could not be discussed.

Han Qi repeatedly wrote to the imperial court, but the imperial court could only remain silent due to Li Ze's strong opposition, in fact, Li Ze was in the letter, and even strongly requested that Han Qi be removed from his post in Hedong, and the imperial court could only compromise now, and no one agreed.

Li Ze snorted at this practice of shrinking his head and burrowing into the sand as a turtle, but he didn't care, his purpose was not to let Han Qi justifiably become the commander of Hedong, as for the rest, he didn't care, anyway, Zhang Jia is now growing in strength under his strong support, not only steadily occupying Ulzhou and Weizhou, but even having the spare strength to reach out to Shuozhou and Li Cunzhongming to fight secretly.

In the next step, Li Ze is ready to vigorously support Zhang Jia to attack Yuzhou, Danzhou and other places that have been isolated from Lu Long's main force, once Zhang Jia takes these two states, Li Ze is ready to use this credit to support Zhang Jia as the coach of Hedong.

Of course, in this process, Wu Wei will completely control Zhang Jia in the palm of his hand. Xu Ziyuan is now following Zhang Jia and doing this kind of work, and the little hand of Yixing Society has already been quietly stretched out.

Among the several bandits that Zhang Jia recruited in Ulzhou, there were people from Wuwei, and Tian Bo's internal guards were in charge of these things.

The greater Zhang Jia's power, the greater Li Ze's power within him.

Of course, there is no need to let Xue Ping know about these things.

Turning his head to look at Liu Chenglin, Li Ze said, "Let's talk about the situation in Mozhou." ”

Liu Chenglin nodded: "Deng Jingshan's retreat was carried out extremely quickly, almost when Zhang Zhongwu was defeated in Yishuihe, he was beginning to prepare, and when Zhang Zhongwu's main force withdrew from Jicheng, his retreat also began, and before that, we always thought that he would fight." Thanks to the Ranger spies on the side to get the news, General Li De immediately attacked, and finally got some results, but it was only to defeat the main cavalry of the Khitan, for Deng Jingshan, it was not a bone-wrenching, but the wanton looting when he left left us with a mess. Now the situation in Mozhou is miserable, even if military rations are used, they can only set up some porridge shacks and barely survive, and countless people freeze and starve to death every day. ”

"Is it all like that?" Li Ze asked.

"The situation in the city is more miserable, and the countryside is a little better, because it is mainly the Khitan cavalry who robbed the countryside, and they were stopped by our rangers, and the losses caused were smaller, but this also caused a new problem, the people in the city went to the countryside in groups to prey, and there were often large-scale fights between the two sides, and we could not stop them one by one." Liu Chenglin smiled bitterly. "The number of people who died on this is much greater than the number of people who died of starvation."
