Chapter 158: Displacement Crisis (1)
"Li joins the army, this situation is a little bad!"
Han Jian looked at the Lizhou garrison, which was obviously patrolling around the resettlement site, and then returned to a thatched house that had just been erected, and said to the young man who was making the bed.
Naturally, the beds in this thatched hut cannot be compared with others, but a few layers of straw are spread on the ground, and then made into a bed, and they lie on it and sleep on it at night. Li Zhen, who was making the bed, did not get up, and answered the questions of the people behind him while smoothing out the straw.
"Could it be that Han Tingshi wants to give up? But at this time, even if you want to give up Han Tingshi, I'm afraid it's too late. Now, either continue to implement the plan, or be ready to be imprisoned. ”
Seeing Li Zhen with an indifferent face, Han Jian regretted it a little at this time, he shouldn't have listened to this person to sneak attack Lizhou.
Although Li Ye led the Tiance Army to Lizhou, Han Jian thought that he had just been appointed by Lu Yanhong to be appointed as the assassin of Lizhou, so he gave up like this, and was a little unwilling. At this time, Li Zhen said that there was a way to take Lizhou, and Han Jian was tempted.
Li Zhen's suggestion was very simple, hide the soldiers among the displaced people, and then follow the displaced people into the city of Lizhou, and no matter how bad it is, they must take several important passes in the north of Lizhou. So Han Jian selected some elites from his and Li Shitai's troops to blend into the homeless team, and at the same time saw that Li Zhen, who was Lu Yanhong's important strategist, also mixed into the homeless team, and he also followed.
It was Li Zhen's confident move that made Han Jian choose to believe in Li Zhen. At the same time, Wang Jian, Jin Hui and Zhang Zao also promised to act with them, and when his side launched an attack on Lizhou, Wang Jian's army would also attack Bazhou along the Micang Road.
Moreover, in addition to the five-person army, Lu Yanhong also let his cronies station in Mianxian County with thousands of troops to contain the Niu Miao Department in Xingzhou, and also sent more than 1,000 people to obey Li Zhen's orders and walk with Han Jian.
It is these factors that make Han Jian more confident. Although in addition to the garrison in Lizhou, there is also the Tiance Army, but according to the information they have received, the Tiance Army has not fought a few battles since its establishment, and it has only quelled the peasant rebellion. So Han Jian didn't take Li Ye, the king of longevity, in his eyes.
It's just that after taking action, I didn't expect things to be as simple as I imagined. In order not to startle the snakes, when they passed through Sanquan, they did not act rashly, but came to Lizhou with the team of displaced people.
However, after arriving in Lizhou, the situation changed somewhat unexpectedly. Among the more than 10,000 displaced people, there were more than 2,000 sergeants led by him and Li Zhen, but they did not expect the Lizhou government to scatter the displaced people in three resettlement sites.
Most of his subordinates are in the resettlement site in the east of Lizhou City, followed by the resettlement site in the east of Lizhou City, the second is the resettlement site in the west of Lizhou City, and the largest resettlement site in the north of the city is the least. The resettlement points in the east and west of the city are near the barracks of the Tiance Army.
Unlike him, most of Li Zhen's subordinates were concentrated in the settlement in the north of the city, about 700 people, while he had less than 200 people.
In addition to the dispersion of forces, the reaction of the Lizhou garrison also surprised him a little. Let's just say that in this settlement in the north of the city, there are thousands of troops outside who are responsible for maintaining order, which is obviously a bit abnormal.
Hearing Li Zhen's words, Han Jian was a little displeased, "Li joined the army, the matter has come to this, what to do, you have to come up with an idea." This operation was proposed by you, and now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, so I hope that Li joins the army and does not hide his secrets. ”
Li Zhen patted the grass clippings on his body, stood up and said with a smile, "Why is Han Tingshi in such a hurry, although the situation has changed somewhat, it is still under control." It is not easy to take Lizhou, and it is not possible for Han Tingshi to be in such a hurry. ”
This operation was planned by Li Zhen, and Lu Yanhong also strongly supported it, and he also fooled Han Jian and Li Shitai into directly sending troops to participate. Originally, he wanted to fool Wang Jian, but who would have thought that Wang Jian did not take the bait, but chose to cooperate in Micang Road.
said that it was cooperation, but Li Zhen saw that Wang Jian did not believe in his plan very much. However, with Han Jian and Li Shitai, Li Zhen is also satisfied.
The reason why Lu Yanhong agreed to this plan was naturally because what Li Zhen said made him very excited.
There is no doubt that after the army under Li Ye's hands is assembled, he will definitely move north to attack the Lu Yanhong Department that occupies Xingyuan Mansion. Although Lu Yanhong is not afraid, Wang Jian, Han Jian and others are not of the same mind as Lu Yanhong, they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens.
So Li Zhen came up with this plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, which was very simple, using Lizhou as a lure to attract Han Jian to attack Lizhou. As long as Han Jian can't resist the temptation, then he can't think of getting out, he can only obey his Lu Yanhong's drive.
And the importance of Lizhou, even if there is no reminder from Li Zhen, Lu Yanhong knows it. If he can borrow Han Jian's hand and take Lizhou, this will not only be able to isolate the imperial army south of Lizhou, but also allow Han Jian to resist the pressure of the imperial army head-on, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
In order to convince Han Jian, Li Zhen proposed that he take a part of the people to participate in the operation. In this regard, Lu Yanhong was also a little hesitant, after all, the talent shown by Li Zhen at present made him not want to lose the other party, so he didn't want him to take risks. However, Li Zhen insisted, thinking that only in this way could the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf be realized, and Lu Yanhong's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only agree.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Yanhong sent out all the most relied on strategists, and his doubts about this operation were dispelled.
"Li joined the army, you said it easily, this Lizhou army obviously noticed something, and the vigilance became obviously tighter. Ben was worried that before we could act, we would be served by the army outside, and everyone would have to become prisoners. Han Jian said dissatisfied.
Seeing that Han Jian was so breathless, Li Zhen pondered for a while and said, "Han Jianshi, can you allow Li to inquire about the situation, or think about it in the long run, and act rashly, it will only fail." ”
"Now that we people are moving around, the army outside is strictly checked, and it won't be so easy for Li to join the army and go out!"
"Han Tingshi forgot, Li is also a scholar." Li Zhen said with a little pride.
Han Jian came from a military family and had never read any books, although he was dissatisfied with Li Zhen's pride, he couldn't suppress the other party's momentum.
However, as Li Zhen said, his status as a scholar did make him easily out of the heavily guarded sentry, and those soldiers on duty heard Li Zhen's identity as a scholar, especially when they heard that the other party was a candidate who went to Chengdu Mansion to take the exam, they couldn't help but be a little envious, so they naturally didn't stop him.
However, less than half an hour after Li Zhen left this resettlement site with an entourage, the cavalry of the left wing of the Tiance Army and the first capital of the left wing arrived at the settlement in the north of the city, looking at this settlement with fierce eyes.
"General Han, these cavalry are not good, what should I do now?" Li Zhen's subordinates couldn't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly came to Han Jian's place, Li Zhen was not there, and his subordinates had no leader, so they could only come to Han Jian.
"What about you Li joining the army?" Han Jian asked.
"Li joined the army half an hour ago and left and hasn't returned yet!"
"Tell your man, don't act rashly, and when the time comes, do what I tell you to do." Han Jian said in a deep voice.
Under the watchful eyes of Han Jian and others, the army outside the resettlement site gathered this group of displaced people, and then began to look for something in the ranks of displaced people.
。。。。。。
"Your Highness, the settlement point in the north of the city has the first capital on the left and the cavalry capital, the settlement point in the east of the city is the cavalry capital on the right wing, and the second capital on the left in the west of the city. If there are rebels among the displaced people, they must be young and middle-aged, and it is enough to directly screen out the young and middle-aged among the displaced people.
With the Tiance Army on his side, His Highness doesn't have to worry about those outcasts. Pei Rong said confidently to Li Ye.
"Don't take it lightly, this is our first challenge in Lizhou, and we have to deal with it." Li Ye admonished.
"Your Highness, after all, the rebels are only a minority among the displaced people, and if you use force, won't it hurt the innocent?" Sun Ye couldn't help but worry.
"If they hide the rebels and don't report it, they are accomplices, and they are not innocent." Li Ye is not a, although he is a little unkind, he doesn't want to put himself in danger for those who are not innocent homeless.
"Your Highness..."
Sun Ye wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Li Ye, "Sun Changshi doesn't need to say much, how to deal with the problem of the displaced people, wait until this matter is over." ”
At this moment, a team of pro-soldiers came to Li Ye, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, there is a person outside the mansion who wants to see Your Highness." ”
"Nonsense! Is Your Highness someone who can see him if he wants? Without waiting for Li Ye to speak, Zhang Wei on the side accused.
"This..." Team Zheng's face was not very good-looking, but he said stiffly, "Your Highness, the person outside the mansion called himself Li Zhen, and said that he was here to help His Highness calm down the Xingyuan Rebellion. ”
"Quelling the Xingyuan Rebellion?" Li Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then smiled and said to Li Yingxu, who was standing silent, "Yingxu, this Li Zhen is as proud as you are." I didn't expect that his surname was Li, could it be that he was also a member of the two Li clans in Longxi or Zhao County? ”
Li Yingxu was a little embarrassed, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Your Highness, don't make fun of the lower officials." However, whether this Li Zhen is the Li clan of Longxi or the Li clan of Zhaojun, the lower officials are not very clear, after all, there are too many branches. However, Xia Guan seems to have heard the name Li Zhen somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while. ”
"This king also has some feelings like this, is he really from the Li clan of Longxi or the Li clan of Zhaojun?"
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Naiguo's surname. In addition to the two branches of Longxi and Zhaojun, there are also the Li Tang royal family and those who have made meritorious contributions who have been given the surname Li, so it is not uncommon to have the surname Li, and it is also possible to have the same name and surname.
However, this Li Zhen can be regarded as arousing Li Ye's curiosity, and it doesn't hurt to see him, after all, the other party is also here to take refuge in himself, so he can't turn him away, right?
