"I reward and punish two handles, not abolish, help obedience and disobedience, since ancient times. Li Keyong was born rebellious, suddenly stole Yue, harbored treachery, and insulted the court. Dare to act the power of monopoly, especially the traces of disobedience, the straight pen of the evil Zhaotu, and drown in the middle stream.

。。。

Its Li Ke is used in the official position, and it is advisable to take it. ”

"In order to pacify the east of the river and recover the northern capital. I was determined to drive the expedition in person, and personally led the Left Tiance Army, the Left and Right Shence Army, the Left Yulin Army, the Right Shenwu Army, the Shenji Battalion and the Left Prison Guards to crusade against the rebels.

In order to quell the rebellion in Hedong as soon as possible, Li Congwei was the commander of the camp north of Taiyuan, leading the soldiers and horses of Lulong and Yunzhou two towns; Li Sigong was the commander of the camp in the west of Taiyuan, leading the soldiers and horses of Xia Sui and Lingwu two towns; With Zhu Wen as the commander of the camp in the south of Taiyuan, he led the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Xuanwu, Heyang and Zhenghua; With Wang Rong as the commander of the camp in the east of Taiyuan, he led the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Chengde, Yiwu and Weibo and the Zuo Shenwei army (general Li Cunxiao。。。。。 ”

As soon as this edict came out, the world shook.

If you only look at this edict, many people will be shocked, not counting the imperial court forbidden army, there are ten families in the local feudal towns: Xuanwu, Heyang, Zhenghua, Lulong, Yunzhou, Xiasui, Lingwu, Chengde, Yiwu, and Weibo.

It seems to be a huge momentum, but in fact, some feudal towns did not send troops. The Yiwu Army had a good relationship with Hedong, and did not stand up to help Li Keyong, nor did they send troops to crusade against Li Keyong; Wei Bo, Zheng Hua, and Heyang also meant what they meant, and they didn't send too many troops.

Among them, Lu Long sent 30,000 troops, which was one of the feudal towns with the most troops;

Yunzhou poured out of the nest and took out 25,000 people. There is no way, Helian Duo and Li Keyong are already dying;

Xia Sui and Li Sigong sent 20,000 troops;

Lingwu sent 10,000 troops;

Xuanwu sent 30,000 troops, and Ge Congzhou commanded the southern army on behalf of Zhu Wen;

Heyang sent 8,000 troops;

Zheng Hua sent 5,000 troops;

Chengde sent 15,000 troops;

Wei Bo sent 5,000 troops.

It seems to be an army of ten towns, but in fact only 150,000 people were dispatched.

。。。。。。

In the middle of the river, the Jiedu Embassy.

Since Wang Ke's suicide, one of the envoys of the festival in the river has been vacant, and the new envoy is Wei Zhaodu, an old minister who has only been reactivated for more than a year.

"Your Majesty, Xuanwu did not send additional troops, but Zheng Hua and Heyang symbolically sent some troops, and Wei Bo was not very active. On the contrary, the armies of the Lulong, Yunzhou, and Xia Sui factions were relatively large, and the combined armies of the north and west were nearly 100,000, accounting for two-thirds of the troops of the ten feudal towns. "The information in Pei Rong's hands naturally comes from Jinyiwei, if you wait for the report from the feudal town, you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

"Your Majesty, this Yiwu refuses to send troops, and Wei Bo, Zheng Hua and Heyang also don't send many troops, should we issue an order to reprimand a few towns?" Liu Jurong hurriedly said.

Li Ye shook his head, "Is it useful to reprimand?" Wei Boluo Hongxin has just become Wei Bo's envoy, and he does not have enough control over Wei Bo, and he probably does not dare to send too many troops; The main forces of Heyang and Zheng Hua were assisting King Pei to pacify the Qin Zongquan, which is understandable.

As for the Yiwu Army, it has a close relationship with Hedong, and it is not bad if he does not follow Hedong to make a rebellion, so don't pay attention to him, but tell Wang Rong to let him be careful to guard against the Yiwu Army and beware of being co-opted by Li Keyong. ”

At the beginning of the year, the relationship between Wei Bojun's tooth soldiers and Le Congxun's father and son was very stiff, and soon there was a conflict, and finally Luo Hongxin became the winner and became the queen of Wei Bojun's stay, and then the imperial court issued a decree to appoint Luo Hongxin as Wei Bojun's envoy.

For this crusade against Hedong, Li Ye did not put his hope on these feudal towns, to be precise, except for Helian Duo, the others were not credible.

Zhu Wen don't talk about it;

Wang Rong belongs to the kind of people who have no courage;

After all, Li Congwei did not directly border Hedong, but it was only because of Helianduo's request for help that he brought troops to help;

Xia Sui, Li Sigong and Lingwu Jun have no direct contradiction with Li Keyong in Hedong, and this time the edict sent troops more because the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger and wants to seek some benefits from Hedong.

After all, Hedong, as one of the two powerful feudal clans today, still has a lot of things that make these feudal towns covetous.

Therefore, this time to quell the rebellion, Li Ye still had to rely on his six forbidden armies, of which the Shenji Battalion was his secret weapon, which was used to break the hole cards of the Shatuo cavalry.

If it weren't for the crucial progress made in artillery, he would not have been in such a hurry to use troops against Hedong.

"Your Majesty, Wang Rong only sent 15,000 troops this time, probably to prevent the king from existing." Li Yingxu guessed.

Li Ye nodded, Wang Rong is six years younger than him, but he can control the Chengde army, in addition to having a group of loyal generals under his command, his own ability cannot be ignored.

For these feudal towns, his requirements are not high, just contain a part of the Shatuo army, and then it will be strong and prestigious.

This time the imperial court issued an order, and the ten towns responded, in fact, there is still one town, that is, Chang Xingru of Shaanzhou, who actually personally joined the imperial army with 5,000 troops this time.

It's a pity that Chang Xingru's strength is not strong, and he is only a defensive envoy, which is not a town.

"Where is Li Keyong now?"

Pei Rong pointed on the map, "Back to Your Majesty, at present, Li Keyong personally leads the army in Fenzhou. However, Li Keyong did not intend to put the battlefield in Hedong, but in Jinzhou, and sent Li Chengsi, Li Siyuan and others to lead an army of 30,000 to cooperate with Wang Chongying's 15,000 men to defend Jinzhou, and planned to use Mengkeng as the main battlefield to lead us to a decisive battle with it. ”

The terrain in the east of the river is mountainous, but when you arrive in Fenzhou, it is relatively flat terrain, all the way to Taiyuan City, which means that it is suitable for cavalry battles and large armies.

But this is the core of Hedong, an important grain-producing area, Li Keyong obviously did not want to set up the battlefield in Fenzhou, so he chose Jinzhou, which has a complex terrain.

"How many troops does Lick have on his hands?"

"Your Majesty, according to the news of Jinyiwei, Li Keyong personally led an army of 60,000 to assemble in Fenzhou, including 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

The army led by Li Chengsi and others was 15,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry. ”

"Ninety thousand Shatuo Army?"

Hearing this number, Li Ye was also a little surprised. Hedong had lost a lot of troops before, only 160,000 troops, and 90,000 in Fenzhou and Jinzhou, didn't it account for more than half?

You must know that the enemy in front of Hedong is not only the imperial army, but also the allied army of Zhuzhen.

In Zhaoyi, there are 30,000 troops in Hedong, which means that Li Keyong only used less than 40,000 people to deal with the nearly 100,000 troops of Yunzhou, Lulong, Xia Sui, and Lingwu, after all, there must be an army to defend Taiyuan.

"It seems that this Li Keyong knows that the imperial army is the most important, so he put all the elites here.

However, cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, if he attacks the armies of other feudal towns with all his might, he may still have life, but he uses the main force to deal with the imperial army! ”
