Chapter 324: The Situation in Hedong
"This general, is the colt in agreement?"
After seeing the person who received him before, Pei Rui hurriedly greeted him, but his attitude was a little arrogant, as if he thought that everyone would have to grovel to him.
The visitor glanced at Pei Rui, who felt a little good about himself, and smiled, "I'm afraid Mr. Pei is going to be disappointed." The horse had just returned from the Jiedu Embassy, drank some wine, was a little tired, and had rested, unable to receive Mr. Pei. β
Although people who come can't get used to the lofty posture of Pei Rui in front of them, they don't know how Wen Xi Pei can teach such a person, which is simply a shame for Wen Xi Pei.
If he is not used to it, he is not used to it, but as a subordinate, he can't make enemies for his master, although his master is a colt, don't be afraid of Pei Rong, but after all, he is an official in the same dynasty, and there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.
Hearing this result, Pei Rui was a little disappointed, but the person in front of him was obviously suspected of driving people, and if he stayed here and didn't leave, he would be the one who was ashamed.
Pei Rui arched his hand and said, "Trouble the general and wait for the horse to wake up and say, Pei will come to visit tomorrow." β
"What? He will come again tomorrow, how can Privy Envoy Pei have such a brother, does he know his identity? β
Hearing that Pei Rui didn't want to see him and vowed not to give up, Liu Kui was also a little crying and laughing, was this to entangle him?
To put it mildly, if the other party hadn't been Pei Rong's relative, the people below would have driven him away a long time ago. Although he is not a good colt, like a son-in-law, but after all, he is a colt, and he is still a sister who has a good relationship with His Majesty, as long as he does not think crookedly, His Majesty will not treat him badly at all.
Nominally, Pei Rong, the privy envoy, is in charge of the world's army, but in fact, if the other party thinks so, he can't sit in this position at all, and there are several privy envoys below, and Pei Rong can't be a monopoly in the Privy Council.
Although Liu Kui is Pei Rong's subordinate, Pei Rong does not dare to offend Liu Kui, otherwise Princess Changning will say a few words in His Majesty's ear, and Pei Rong will be finished.
"Is the colt in sight, or not?"
"No, I ordered to go down and inspect the salt pond tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Not surprisingly, when Pei Rui went to visit again the next morning, he learned that Liu Kui had left Fucheng, which made him very puzzled why the other party avoided it.
If it was because of lack last night, it would be understandable, but today it is all right, why haven't you seen it yet?
Could it be that the young general did not report?
He is the cousin of the privy envoy Pei Rong, and the other party doesn't give him any face? This made him resentful of Liu Kui.
However, Pei Rui obviously didn't give up so well, and went to find Wang Ke again.
At first, Wang Ke still had the idea of having a good relationship with Pei Rui, after all, he was the cousin of the privy envoy Pei Rong, and he also knew that Wenxi Pei's family was powerful, after all, Wenxi County was under the jurisdiction of Hezhong.
But when he heard that Pei Rong hoped that he could come forward to teach the soldiers at the gate of the city a lesson, he began to talk to him.
Joke, that's the people of the Divine Army. He is an envoy of the river festival who has no soldiers and no power, and he still wants to punish the people of the Shence army, not to mention whether the other party buys it or not, even if he punishes it, it will only offend Liu Kui.
In the end, Pei Rui left the river in anger, and he swore in his heart that he would not give up. When his daughter enters the palace, he must find a way to get back the face he has lost in the past few days.

"Cunxiao, tell me, why didn't you send troops before? Sit and watch Jun Li and Cunxin fight alone, and let Xue Atan be captured. Do you know how many people were lost this time? More than 6,000 sons were folded in Jinju.
If you don't give a satisfactory answer to this king this time, go back to Taiyuan. β
Qinzhou, Assassin Shifu, Li Keyong stood on the steps and scolded Li Cunxiao who was kneeling on the ground.
"Father-in-law, Cunxiao didn't send troops before, that's because Kang Junli and others didn't listen to Cunxiao's advice and insisted on attacking the forbidden army. Cunxiao originally suggested that he should not move and wait for his father-in-law to arrive.
The main force of the forbidden army is the Zuo Yulin army, a total of nearly 30,000 people, and we only brought 12,000 people, and Wang Chongying's army has no fighting spirit. β
Li Cunxiao is not a fool, so naturally he will not sit back and watch himself being framed by Kang Junli and others.
"Jun Li, is what Cunxiao said true?" Li Ke calmed down and looked at Kang Junli on the side.
To be honest, except for his previous complaints about Li Cunxiao because of Li Kegong's death, Li Cunxiao's performance on the battlefield is obvious to all.
Kang Junli glanced at Li Cunxiao with resentful eyes, and then explained to Li Keyong, "Father-in-law, at that time, it was the forbidden army chasing soldiers who took the lead in attacking, and Junli was only forced to fight. But Cunxiao did not move and refused to reinforce, otherwise he would not have lost so much this time. β
Kang Junli's meaning was either to push the responsibility on Li Cunxiao, or to mention the big losses, and not mention his own problems.
"What is forced to fight, it is obvious that you took the initiative to attack. The imperial army has obviously retreated, but you see that there are only a few thousand chasing soldiers in the imperial court, and in order to make meritorious contributions, so many losses have been caused. Li Cunxiao retorted unceremoniously.
"Keep saying that the court, you are very loyal to the court!" Kang Junli scoffed.
Li Cunxiao's eyes shrank, "Father-in-law, Cunxiao thinks that the current situation in Hedong is not optimistic, Zhaoyi Meng Fangli is undecided, and there are Xuanwu Zhu Wen around Hedong, Yunzhou Helianduo, Xiazhou Li Sigong, and Youzhou Li Concongwei, all of which are eyeing Hedong.
At the beginning of the year, Hedong had already clashed with the imperial court, and the imperial court was weak at that time, so it did not act. But now, the imperial court is becoming more and more powerful, and at this time, there is no need for the imperial court to make a move, only a holy decree, and many feudal towns will attack Hedong.
Even if my Shatuo army is brave and good at fighting, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists. Therefore, Cun Xiaocai immediately advised not to do anything to the imperial army, and only needed to express the attitude of my Shatuo army, which was enough to deter the imperial army. β
"You are all quibbles, obviously because you don't admit that the third uncle's death is related to you, so you are angry with me, disobey the order...
"Alright, give me a stop!"
Just when Kang Junli retorted, Li Keyong suddenly yelled, looking at the two of them with an unkind face, he naturally didn't want these righteous sons to have one heart, but he couldn't make conflicts so indiscriminately.
"Father-in-law..."
"Shut up!" Li Keyong glared at Kang Junli fiercely, and then said, "You go down first, let me be quiet!" β
Seeing that Li Keyong obviously planned not to pursue the matter anymore, Kang Junli was also a little disappointed, but fortunately, the other party did not blame him.
After Kang Junli, Li Cunxiao and others left, Li Keyong said angrily to Gai Yu on the side, "Gai Yu, this king didn't expect that the contradiction between Cunxiao and others would be so troublesome, regardless of the occasion, take the fate of Hedong as a child's play." β
Gai Yu was also a little embarrassed, which involved the contradiction between Li Keyong's son, and he didn't dare to get involved in it.
"It's a bit excessive, but what General Cunxiao said has some truth, and the current situation in Hedong is indeed a little bad. I didn't expect the imperial court to be so decisive and send troops directly to the river.
Coupled with Jinju's defeat this time, many people will feel that Hedong is starting to weaken... β
Before Gai Yu could finish speaking, Li Keyong interrupted, "Will the imperial court really take the opportunity to deal with Hedong?" β
Gai Yu pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Keyong, "It's not easy to say. Although His Majesty intends to pacify the feudal towns, he is very old-fashioned and has not directly dealt with the powerful feudal domains, and is currently only carrying out reforms in the areas actually controlled by the imperial court. Judging from the speculation of his subordinates, until he is absolutely sure, His Majesty will not make a move against Hedong today.
In this battle of Jinzhou, after the victory of Zuo Yulin's army, he did not take the opportunity to attack Jinzhou, but retreated to Jiangzhou, which shows that the imperial court is not absolutely sure at present.
However, other feudal towns may not let go of this opportunity, and may take the initiative to write to the imperial court to deal with Hedong. β
"It seems that we have to find a way to change the court's view of Hedong, let people go to Chang'an with their belongings, and let the ministers who have a good impression of Hedong help Hedong talk." Obviously, Li Keyong was concerned about Li Cunxiao's worries, and it was precisely because of this that he did not blame Li Cunxiao.
"What about Li Hanzhi?" Gaiyu reminded.
At this time, Li Hanzhi had fled to Hedong and wanted to submit to Li Keyong, but the latter did not agree.
"Let him continue to serve as the envoy of the Heyang Festival, this person is capricious, if you take him in, you have to beware of him switching to someone else again.
Send troops to help him retake Ha Duong. β
"How many troops did you send? Who is the handsome? β
"30,000 steps to ride, as for the commander, let Cunxiao go, give him a chance to lead the army alone. Forget it, let him bring 20,000 troops, and Cunxin will bring 10,000 troops to assist.
Tell the two that this battle must show the prestige of Hedong and deter all parties, and let them know that Hedong is not something they can worry about. β

"Yes!"
Thinking of Li Keyong letting Li Cunxiao and Li Cunxin lead the troops at the same time, Gai Yu felt a little bottomless in his heart, hoping that these two people would not mess around!
