Pingkou Town, now it is no longer barren as before, although the town is still very dilapidated, but the weeds around it have already been cut clean, and even the half-burned tree at the entrance of the town has now been cut down, and together with those weeds, it has become fuel for the leaders of the Yizhou army.

This was the first cantonment point that provided food and grass for the army, and after Li De's rangers took control of this wasteland, such cantonment points began to play their role.

After the forward Shi Zhuang's troops were replenished here, they were now continuing to advance, and now Pingkou Town welcomed the main force led by Li Ze and Cao Xin.

The people are also on the road in an endless stream, and the consumption here in Pingkou Town will be quickly replenished, and then the grain and grass will be transported from here to the next cantonment point.

Here, Li Ze received the first bad news.

Liu Chenglin can't come.

Because Gao Biao was defeated by Zhang Zhongwu in Daizhou, Zhang Zhongwu was able to draw his men into Zhenwu to help Wang Feng resist the attack of the Chengde army, which made the Chengde people temporarily in a stalemate in the battle in Zhenwu. And Shi Yi of Yingzhou once again raised a large army to march to Jingzhou, and the vanguard had already crossed Zhangwu into the territory of Jingzhou, and Liu Chenglin had to stay in Jingzhou to resist Shi Yi's invasion.

And this time, the Chengde army in the direction of the Deep State did not react in the slightest .

"What should come is always coming." Li Ze looked at Cao Xin, who was a little indignant, and said with a smile: "The Tao is not the same, we and Suning are not people on the same road. If he supports us, then I will be really upset! That's within our tolerance."

"Without Liu Chenglin's people, our difficulties will be greater." Cao Xin was depressed.

"No, if it weren't for Liu Chenglin's people, maybe we would have to face Shi Yi's reinforcements!" Li Ze said with a smile: "The Lu Long Army is much more difficult to deal with than the Heng Navy, and now that Liu Chenglin is holding them back, it is still beneficial to us. And I believe that Shi Yi will not be too easy. Liu Chenglin will definitely make Shi Yi extremely uncomfortable. Cao Gong, our plan originally included this item."

Cao Xin looked at Li Ze, but his expression was a little gloomy, he nodded, and left.

Cao Xin was sullen, to a large extent, not because the Yizhou army had to face Zhu Shou's Heng Navy alone, but because Suning. By doing so, Suning is blatantly betraying Chengde's interests, which is no different from colluding with the enemy. And the reason why he dared to do this was nothing more than that he had already made a mind to become virtuous from the outside and was ready to do something.

The news that Li Anguo was ill and could not be a director, and that all political affairs were attached to Gongsun Changming has now spread all over the world. But Cao Xin naturally knew that there was a greasy thing here, and poor Suning was walking into the trap set for him by Li Anguo step by step, but he still didn't know it.

Cao Xin and Suning have known each other for decades, and they really don't want to see this person not only die in the end, but also be ruined.

People can only live for a lifetime, dozens or hundreds of years, but people's reputation is passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of thousands of years or even longer.

In fact, compared with Cao Xin, Li Ze knows even more.

Shi Yi's large-scale march into Jingzhou was just a cover. Preparing to attack Liu Chenglin's move to support Henghai concealed Lu Long's plot to make Chengde change the sky again.

An elite army from Youzhou has quietly entered the Deep State.

Suning is preparing to force Zhenzhou and force Li Anguo to pass Li Yuan, the son of Li Anmin. The news from Zhenzhou that Li Anguo was sick and could not serve made him firm in this idea.

As for Henghai's life and death, it is not within Zhang Zhongwu's consideration at all, which also means that Zhang Zhongwu did not take Li Ze in his eyes, he was still planning to take Chengde and launch a fatal blow to the Hedong Jiedu envoy from the other direction.

Although Zhang Zhongwu defeated Gao Yu twice in a row and occupied Daizhou, it was these two battles that strengthened Zhang Zhongwu's strategic thinking.

Gao Biao is a hard bone, if he gnaws hard like this, it is not that he can't gnaw it, but after gnawing it, he may not be able to break his front teeth, which is certainly not the result he wants.

As for Henghai, it doesn't matter if Zhu Shou is in charge, or if he is taken by Li Ze, as long as he Zhang Zhongwu controls Zhenzhou, it doesn't matter if these two states of Zhaozhou have completed the fatal blow to Gao Yu.

Because at that time, in front of the powerful Lu Long Army, they all have to bow down.

This is a huge pit, which is a series of sets jointly planned by Li Anguo, Li Ze, and Gongsun Changming. The sleeve not only contains Suning, but also Li Anmin and even Lu Longren are also in the whole calculation.

Henghai, in Li Ze's heart, has long been regarded as his own territory, and now that he stands taller, he will naturally see farther. Lu Long counted the things that belonged to him again and again, and wanted to take away his back garden Chengde, if he didn't count Lu Long's people and give Lu Long a ruthless blow, he would really be sorry for himself.

Lu Long regarded Suning as their breakthrough point, but they didn't know that Suning would become their biggest flaw and fatal injury. They couldn't imagine what Li Anguo and Li Ze were doing by Suning's side.

Those were two generals with great military power, and now they were like a powerful bomb hidden by Suning's side, and when they exploded, it was not only Suning who was hurt, but all the people around him.

Thinking of this, Li Ze couldn't help but smile, bent down, gently patted the big yellow dog Wangcai sleeping at his feet, and shouted: "Get up, go to sleep when you're full, and eat again when you wake up, look at your fat body, if you don't lose weight, sooner or later you will be turned into a pot of dog meat and wine by some people who covet you."

seemed to understand Li Ze's words, spread out at Li Ze's feet, stretched out his four dog legs, and slept with salivation, the big yellow dog Wangcai raised his head excitedly, and then got up with a bone, meekly followed Li Ze's side, and rubbed Li Ze's calves affectionately with his head.

This dog was supposed to be a housekeeping dog, but in this Pingkou town, there are too many people coming and going, and the people who come here have no other entertainment, teasing Wangcai and training Wangcai has become their only pleasure.

After going back and forth, a good housekeeping dog that should have been very fierce has become a pet dog that shakes its head and tail. He came into contact with too many people, and these people were extremely friendly to him, so that his instinct gradually disappeared, as long as he saw these people in black uniforms, he subconsciously thought that they were his good friends.

After Li Ze arrived here, he quickly became Li Ze's follower, because he keenly found that following this person, he ate better and slept more comfortably.

Li Ze wanted to go for a walk, but before he stepped out of the door, he had to come back again, because he welcomed another guest, and he was also a creditor, Gao Xiangsheng, the recorder of the guard of the Tang Dynasty, joined the army, and came again.

Looking at this uninvited guest, Li Ze first shook his head, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, inviting the other party to enter, and then poked his head out and shouted.

"Li Mi!"

Li Mi appeared in front of his eyes in an instant.

"Take Wangcai out, let him run and lose his fat!" Li Ze waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Li Mi looked down at Wangcai, who grinned at her with sharp teeth, because this woman was not so friendly to her, but it remembered that she had been kicked several times by this person.

But Li Mi obviously didn't care about a dog's idea at all, and reached out like lightning to grab the back of Wangcai's neck, suspended it in the air, and strode out.

Wangcai wanted to dodge and escape, but now the fat body hindered the agility of its movements, and it was grabbed by the vital point, its legs curled up, and it was carried out by Li Mi.

"Be honest, go catch a rabbit for me later, or watch your skin!" Li Mi threatened.

Wangcai whimpered twice, it was natural to catch rabbits in the past, but now it is very difficult. However, this woman is obviously not joking, she can't be caught, and it is inevitable that she will be beaten.

Watching Li Mi walk out with the dog, Gao Xiangsheng laughed: "The big war is coming, I can't imagine that you still have the fun of raising a dog."

Li Ze shrugged: "Gao joined the army, what are you doing here at this time?"

Gao Xiangsheng pretended to be upright and said: "What's the matter? I'm your creditor, your business this time is not a small risk, there is a possibility of losing money, as a creditor, shouldn't I be concerned about the efficiency of investment?"

Li Ze laughed: "That's right. But this business, you will make a profit without losing money, don't worry."

Gao Xiangsheng put away his hippie smile, looked at Li Ze and said, "I'm afraid it won't happen."

"Oh, looks like you're bringing me bad news?" Li Ze invited Gao Xiangsheng to sit down, poured a cup of tea himself, and then sat next to Gao Xiangsheng and asked.

"Lu Long's movements, you must know. Liu Chenglin, you can't count on it, can you?" High Elephant Ascension.

"If it's this news, then you don't need to worry, whether there is Liu Chenglin or not, I am sure of the battle of Henghai!" LI Zedao.

"Zhu Shou has brought reinforcements from Pinglu." High Elephant Ascension.

Li Ze was stunned: "Hou Xiyi? He also wants to get into the muddy waters? What benefits did Zhu Shou give him that made him feel moved?"

"Zhu Shou promised to cede Dizhou to him." Gao Xiangsheng said: "So Hou Xiyi dispatched 3,000 armor soldiers, 10,000 soldiers stationed in Dizhou, and Zhu Shou gathered all the soldiers and horses in Dizhou to Cangzhou, ready to have a decisive battle with you, and finish it in one battle."

Li Ze was silent for a long time, and said hatefully: "You all want to bite me Chengde, hehehe, Hou Xiyi's hand is stretched out so long, aren't you afraid that the hand that is stretched out will be cut off by me?"
