There are many things that have been done, but they don't come in handy, but if you don't do them, you can't do them. The main force of Guo Shaosui's army crossed the Juma River all the way to Yizhou, and there was no more fighting; The careful deployment and arming of the infantry did not make any difference.

Crossing the Juma River is the territory of the Great Zhou, and people's mood is gradually relaxed. In other words, in Youzhou, even if there is no war, the monarch and the minister will not be relieved, because there is a sense of crisis.

The army camped and camped for the night.

Guo Shao did not come forward in public, but only asked Wang Pu, Zuo You and others to meet. His cold has not yet healed.

Zuo You said: "The minister thinks that we should leave an elite army in Yizhou to prevent the Liao army from attacking." ”

Guo Shao didn't respond for a while, he held the bronze lampstand in his left hand, looked down all the way down according to the location of Yizhou on the map, and put his finger on the location of Yunzhou (southeast of the Daimyo Mansion); Then he raised the lamp again and observed it for a long time.

"I have to leave a forbidden army in Hebei, but not in Yizhou, it's best to ...... here" Guo Shao tapped his finger on the map, "Dezhou." ”

Zuo You stretched his neck and watched silently.

Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty is to defend Yunzhou (Li Yun)?" ”

Guo Shao did not deny it, and said thoughtfully: "In a strong fortress, the problem is often internal. The soldiers do not need to be stationed in Yizhou, because the current problem of the Liao State does not come from the strong force of the Great Zhou. ”

Wang Pu groaned: "When I return from this retreat, I'm afraid there will be storms. ”

Guo Shao looked at the lights placed on the map, and on a previous night, he also looked at the flames on the lamps with sadness and depression. When the decision was made that night, the internal challenges had been seriously considered.

At this time, his expression was completely different, and he said very calmly: "Li Yun is too ambitious, but not big enough, so there is no need to worry. ”

……

Yunzhou Tianpingjie Town, located in the north of Liangshanbo. Li Yun is now here as a festival envoy, compared to the previous responsibility of defending against the Northern Han Kingdom in Luzhou, now he has little role here.

At that time, the Great Zhou court ordered him to move to the town, on the condition that he was allowed to take away the main force of the soldiers of the Zhaoyi Army. There are pros and cons between the imperial court and Jiezhen, and as a result of the compromise of the game, Li Yun came to Hebei honestly.

As a warlord, Li Yun is very aware of his situation. The imperial court must not trust him, so it will bother to let him move to the town; He was also reluctant to surrender his military power, because that was his status capital.

If the imperial court wants to kill him directly, it will cost him his life and money uselessly, and it will also cause panic to other local warlords; He wanted to rebel, but he could easily fail. The upper and lower sides are only a temporary compromise, and both sides are waiting for a definitive solution.

At this time, he was walking up and down the hall, very restless.

Next to him stood two civilian staff. One of them is an old man with a fairy wind and bone demeanor, called Zhongli, who is good at divination, all kinds of divination, and his reputation is still very great.

Zhongli had dissuaded Li Yun from raising troops before this, but the reason was only that the opportunity was not good.

Li Yun's eldest son also persuaded him, advocating that he should give up his military power in exchange for glory and wealth from the imperial court...... Because before this, the signs of the imperial court to constantly weaken him were very obvious, moving the town away from the place of foundation, occasionally transferring the generals under his command in the name of promotion, and recovering the power of the Jiedu envoy to interfere with the magistrates; I heard a message in a private message that the imperial court also wanted to set up a transfer envoy to take back the financial power of Jiezhen.

At that time, Guo Shao's martial arts were as famous as the sky, and Li Yun had no room for resistance at all, and he also had negative thoughts.

But now, he smelled another glimmer of opportunity.

A staff member said: "It is reported that the Northern Expedition of the Forbidden Army was attacked by the Liao Army's iron cavalry and suffered heavy losses, and the emperor's two sworn brothers were beheaded. Now that he has returned to the country, the people are panicking. ”

Li Yun said: "How many men and horses did the forbidden army lose? ”

The staff said: "No matter how much it is damaged, the morale of the forbidden army is definitely low and the men and horses are exhausted now." Today, he himself is usurping the throne and winning the country, relying on force to accumulate power, but now that he is defeated, the people's hearts are absent. ”

Li Yun said in his heart: It seems that Blacksmith Guo is not as divine as rumored, after all, when Lao Tzu was fighting, he was still breastfeeding!

But Li Yun didn't say anything out of shape in front of his staff.

Li Yun turned his head to look at Zhong Li: "Why doesn't Mr. Zhong speak?" ”

Zhong Li said: "Wait for the old decay to take a divination." ”

Seeing Li Yun's hesitation, another aide persuaded: "In today's situation, there are very few opportunities. The lord can't afford it at this time, and he regrets missing the opportunity! ”

Li Yun said: "The place we moved here is not good. ”

The staff said hurriedly: "The imperial court has long been wary of the lord, once the lord is stripped of his military power, beware of settling accounts after the autumn, and wanting to be rich and peaceful!" ”

Li Yun didn't say it, but this was exactly what he was worried about. In the past, the world was chaotic, and he always had a feeling that it was his turn, but the people on the chair in Tokyo came and went, and it never worked, and in the end, even he couldn't protect himself. Li Yun was very depressed during his time in Yunzhou!

Now in this situation, he is already very tempted. But he still said quietly: "The place is not good, and the troops are insufficient." ”

The staff said: "If the lord wants to use a city to fight a country, he will hit a stone with an egg; Previously, we were in the abyss, and that's why. Now is not the time to be the only one, you have to contact your allies and raise troops together; Once you can't control the situation today, the world will be surging! Waiting for the general trend to change, the lord will try to stand out again. ”

Li Yun looked at the staff with encouraging eyes.

The staff said: "The only people who actually support the Tokyo court are the forbidden army and Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei in Hebei, and many places are unstable; And now the initial defeat of the forbidden army is weak, and the king of Wei is old...... God helps! The biggest opportunity is the old land of the Eastern Han Kingdom (Northern Han) in Hedong, and at this time, you can try to persuade Yang Ye to rise up. ”

Li Yun felt a little interesting after hearing it.

The staff continued: "Yang Ye is in charge of tens of thousands of troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xin and Dai are all in his hands, and he controls Yanmen, Xinkou, Shiling Pass and other passes, except for Jinyang City, all in his hands. Once there is a change in the world, Yang Ye can regain the land east of the river, and claim to be the main one, and divide one side to chase the Central Plains, why not? ”

Li Yun nodded subconsciously and said in his heart: If Lao Tzu had Yang Ye's capital, he would have started the army a long time ago!

The staff said in a deep voice: "Yang Ye's wife, Zhe Saihua, is the daughter of the Jing and Difficult Temperance Envoy Zhe De Yan, and Yang Zhe's two families are world friends and have a marriage. Once Yang Ye is cavalry, the Northwest Folds and other departments will be opposed, and the Central Plains Quartet will be on fire, and the general trend will change!

In addition, the return of Shu, Jiangnan and other places will not be long after, and the general trend will change, as long as someone climbs the heights and shouts, how reliable is it? ”

Li Yun's eyes brightened, and his face was also turned red with blood. He pondered for a moment, but said, "You read the books of the sages, but you don't understand the righteousness. ”

The staff was stunned and said ashamedly: "It's humiliating. ”
