There is no Li Mao's deceased among the guards of Gushan Town, but among the middle and lower-level generals, there are still people who know him, and now Caozhou is surrounded by the army of the imperial court, the Pinglu army is disintegrating and vulnerable, the Qing Navy and the town navy have long existed in name only, and Lishan Town, which is relied on, surrendered without a fight, and Gushan Town is lonely, and there is actually no defensive value, and the defenders are now considering that it is more cost-effective to surrender the marshal. ;;;;;;;;

The plan was undecided, the army of Captain Li of Youzhou had already arrived in the city, and the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers were clamoring to surrender to Youzhou, and the guards did not dare to disobey everyone's wishes, so they had to open the door and surrender Li Mao. Gushan Town surrendered without a fight, and Chengwu County ordered to abandon India and abscond when he heard the news.

When the Caozhou guard heard that Li Mao had captured Chengwu County, Caozhou had fallen into a heavy siege of the official army, so he surrendered to Liu Wu, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Festival.

Wei Bojiedu made Tian Huaijian seize the opportunity to launch a new offensive in Dong'e County, beheading Fang Yangxian, the commander of the Lu army, and breaking the enemy by 50,000. When the news came out, the collapse of the Pinglu army was suddenly achieved.

The Haizhou guards surrendered to Huainan, the Yizhou guards surrendered to Li Yu, the Qizhou guards surrendered to Tian Huaiji, and the Qingzhou lord Wang Qirui led Zhuangke to capture the state government, expelled the assassin history, occupied the city, and announced that he would be attached to the imperial court.

The joint garrison of Dengzhou merchants and civilians launched a riot, attacked and occupied the state government, and recommended the regiment to train the defense to make Zhang Xuan the assassin of the history, and the city was returned to the imperial court. Even Mizhou, where Li Shidao started, has also undergone chaos, and the land of the twelve states of Ziqing is still under the control of Li Shidao for a while, and the connection between the three cities is cut off.

At the end of September, Yunzhou summoned Pei Du and deputy envoy Tutu Chengxuan to Yanzhou, established Daxu, issued orders, and uniformly dispatched 200,000 officers and troops gathered in Ziqing.

At this time, Li Mao occupied Lishan Town, Gushan Town and Chengwu County, Liu Wu occupied Caozhou, Li Quanzhong occupied Puzhou, Li Yu occupied Yanzhou and Yizhou, Tian Huaijian occupied Qizhou and Yunzhou, and the left and right Shence armies were stationed in Cao and Yanzhou.

The rest of the town troops were either on the road or in the corners, and were dispensable in the war.

After Pei Du opened the camp, he successively found Tian Huaiji, Li Yu, Liu Wu, Li Quanzhong, and Han Hong to discuss the military in the camp, but Li Mao was not seen for a long time. Liu Wu returned from Yanzhou, when he passed through Chengwu County, he heard that Li Mao was in Gushan Town, so he temporarily changed his mind and accepted the banquet of the local elders.

Li Mao didn't come to Gushan Town to revisit his hometown and find the feeling of returning to his hometown, he came to see Liu Wu.

In late autumn, there is no water in the grass lake, the bottom of the lake is facing the sky, the barren grass covers the sky and the sun, the two of them take a small boat to travel on the river, wearing a hat and holding a fishing rod, pretending to be two anglers who swim in the rivers and lakes.

The boat sailed into a wide expanse of water, and no one could eavesdrop on the white lake.

Liu Wu sighed: "The battle of Yunzhou will end within a month, and that person has already betrayed his relatives and is vulnerable." At the end of this war, half of the great cause of Zhongxing has been accomplished, and where will we go in the future?"

Li Mao said: "The world is peaceful, and the horse puts Nanshan, which is the highest pursuit of us, why did Brother Liu come here to sigh"

Liu Wu smiled and said, "You understand what I mean." ”

Li Mao said: "I don't understand, I don't understand why it has been useless to defend the border for the country and pacify Hebei. Hebei three places, more than 50 years of separation, the imperial court can not be recovered, is it all bad luck Weizhou out of a Tian Hongzheng, dedicated to the court, what kind of end is the result of Hebei secession, the root is below, even if the chaos is leveled Hengzhou, who has the ability to live, the map of Hebei must be slowly mapped, should not be impatient. Ziqing, is it wrong, as soon as the army arrives, it will fall apart, if it is placed more than ten years ago, who dares to guarantee that there will be today's situation Ziqing has chosen the wrong military commander to this point, if you change one person, the land of twelve states, the benefits of fishing and salt, 100,000 male soldiers, Qilu Yingjie, I don't know what year, month, and day to recover. ”

Liu Wudao: "You are a loyal minister, and I am also a loyal minister, but there is no good retribution for being a loyal minister, but those who are yin and yang are more sacred." It's you this time, who is next time this time is Ziqing, who is Tianwei next time, we always want to push others out to be substitutes for the dead ghosts, and live one day at a time, but if you push and push, you will find that there is no one around you to push, so you have to be arrested, go to Chang'an to eat in prison, and wait to be beheaded. The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, if we continue to fight like this, no one will end well in the future. ”

Li Mao said: "If you say that I don't care, after all, the reputation of the three towns in Hebei is not very good, why do you also sigh like this, you are a loyal minister of the imperial court." ”

Liu Wu snorted: "This is the most wronged, you said that you Taiwei Li is the king in Youzhou, and he is self-righteous in Liaodong, and even the official system has been changed, in addition to wearing the official hat of the Tang Dynasty, what else is like the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, doing his own thing, making his own opinions, doing whatever he wants, who can manage you and me, this festival envoy is an authentic courtier of the Tang Dynasty, loyal to his duties, diligent and thrifty, but just like this, he has to avoid open guns and hidden arrows, and if he is not careful, he may lose all the dishes and lose his life." ”

After Liu Wu moved from Xuanshu to Zhaoyi Jiedu, he was at odds with Zhang Huaiyin, the military supervisor, Zhang Huaiyin and Zhang Wen conspired to tie Liu Wu and defile his rebellion, and it was revealed that Liu Wu killed Zhang Huaiyin's three sons, expelled them, and the court sanctioned him, but the court only demoted Zhang Huaiyin to Guizhou, and did not reprimand him a word, Zhang Wen was also doing his soldiers and horses well, and the court didn't even have the intention of transferring him away.

Liu Wu was disheartened because of this, this time he went to Yanzhou to meet Pei Du and Tutu Chengxuan, Liu Wu thought that he was asking him for advice on entering the army, so he made full preparations, who knew that after meeting, the soldiers did not ask a word, but Tutu Chenghuang asked him what his attitude would be if the court rebelled again.

Yunzhou has not yet recovered, and he is going to produce a rebel minister, where is this rebel minister Tu Chengguang Although he did not name who was about to emerge as a rebel minister, Liu Wuxin was half cold: Li Mao has the highest prestige among the marshals of the Zhuzhen domain, but he is so snubbed, and this rebel who is about to be found out is not him

The imperial court is so eager to sweep away the feudal towns, where is the way out, can it only crawl like a dog in front of Zhang Huaiyin and others, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, win the emperor's trust, and keep his glory and wealth. Such dogs who love to do who do it, themselves are by no means rare.

Speaking of which, the two of them no longer hid, and Liu Wu said bluntly: "When the city of Yunzhou is broken, not only Li Shidao will not be able to escape the catastrophe, but I think you will also be unable to escape the doom: first transfer you to Beijing, and then cut off your military power, and then you will be Li Shidao's second." ”

Li Mao said: "You still underestimate them, they have already done it, first use a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, coax me to Yunzhou, take me hostage, Youzhou, Yingping, Liaodong three together to do it, shovel my foundation, if I don't accept it, since someone stands up for the court to destroy me, if I guess right, your Lao Liu also showed loyalty to them, promise to attack me." ”

Liu Wudao: "If I don't show my loyalty, I can leave Yanzhou alive, I am different from you, if you are detained, there are still a group of people below who cry out for you, if I am detained, I can only be killed by them in a daze." ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew has already become an adult, with him, what are you worried about." ”

Liu Wudao: "Hugh wants to mention him, he is also a mud that the regiment can't support the wall." ”

Li Mao said: "It's not that he can't make it, it's because of your big tree, he doesn't dare to make it, Ling Lang is a hero, believe it or not." In fact, you are better than me, I am the tree is scattered, people like us, there can be no two or three trees under the big tree, once it falls, there is no hope, no matter how noisy the people below are, they can't turn over the monstrous waves, the more fierce the trouble, the more miserable the defeat. ”

Liu Wudao: "If you think so, I will be relieved, it is really used to going dark." Dao, the door is clear, I don't think they can get you. ”

Li Mao sighed: "I only ask and I'm not afraid of anyone, is it just interesting to mess around like this." I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch. There are too many traitors in the court, which confuses my lord and chills the hearts of the old ministers. ”

"I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Good poems, good poems, they all say that you are a handsome man, and it is really so interesting. These two lines of poetry are very interesting. ”

"Bullshit Confucian handsome, I copied these two poems, I am not a Confucian handsome, at best I am a non-mainstream copyist."

The boat docked, Liu Wu jumped ashore, inserted the fishing rod, pulled off the hat, said goodbye to Li Mao, and cherished each other.
