At this moment, not only Cao Gang is secretly scolding, but Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou who is at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou with Li Huaiyuan, is also scolding. He was ordered by the imperial court to go north to fight when Li Huaiyuan fought against the Xiaoguo army.

In fact, the meaning of this edict is to let Feng Meng grab the territory, not let the Xiaoguo army occupy it. Because they can't help the Xiaoguo army now, they also need the Xiaoguo army to resist in the north.

It's a pity that Li Huaiyuan seems to be on the same page as Jizhou, even if Youzhou was taken away by the Xiaoguo Army, he didn't mean to let Feng Meng go north.

"Damn, we were all played by the Xiaoguo Army, no, we were played by those bastards in the court." The tens of thousands of government troops gathered on the border of Jizhou were helpless and stalemate with Li Huaiyuan's army dozens of miles away, and Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou, finally scolded angrily and didn't say much. Subsequently, the Jizhou government army also began to be lazy and no longer prepared for an active war. In Feng Meng's opinion, it is better to let others do what Xiaoguo Jun is doing.

"Master, what are you worried about?" A gentle voice woke up Li Huaiyuan, who was looking at the clouds in the sky.

"Madame, why are you here?" Li Huaiyuan sighed slightly and responded with a smile.

"Everything is done, but what about Muzhi? How can you still let him stay here? Li Huaiyuan's wife asked with a hint of worry.

"Madam, I asked Mu Zhi to send you to Yanzhou City, and when the time comes, I only need to let someone pretend to be Mu Zhi. Besides, if you go to Yanzhou City, you can take care of some Xinyan this child. I'm afraid that she will be squeamish and disliked. Li Huaiyuan gently helped his wife to sit down and said slowly.

"Master, we have been together for almost thirty years, how can I leave you. As for Xinyan, his two elder brothers took care of him. ”

"Alas...... Why are you suffering? ”

"Dad, mother, I'm back."

"Xinyan? Isn't she in Yanzhou City with her second brother? How did you run back? Doesn't Zhao Xun talk about credit? Mrs. Li said in surprise and joy with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Li Huaiyuan shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but this Zhao Xun is not discredited, after all, I can still fight back now." At least three more are in our hands, and he hasn't taken them over yet. ”

"Dad, mother, Xinyan is back!" Li Xinyan's voice came from outside the door.

"Xinyan, aren't you in Yanzhou City? How did you come back again? Seeing her daughter who was far away from her in front of her, Mrs. Li couldn't help but hug her arms and asked urgently.

"Of course I'm here to get out of here with you."

"Leave?" Mrs. Li and Li Huaiyuan looked at each other with a wry smile.

"Of course, Zhao Xun promised me to let me pick you up, of course, that was after the arrival of the Xiaoguo army. He said he wanted us to set a fire while we left. Strange, why set fire when you left. That's it, when the time comes, I'll go with my eldest brother and my parents. In the future, I will go to live in Yanzhou City, oh. It is also possible to return to Youzhou City. ”

"Zhao Xun asked you to pick us up?" Li Huaiyuan said in surprise. He is very clear about Zhao Xun's methods, he wants to control the local military and government, but he has been in Youzhou for many years, and his influence is profound, which is definitely an obstacle to Zhao Xun. This is also the meaning of Li Huaiyuan moving all his family members to Yanzhou City and leaving them behind.

"He can't be cheating on you, is he?" Mrs. Li said in disbelief, she naturally knew Li Huaiyuan's thoughts. Li Huaiyuan thought about exchanging his life for Zhao Xun's care for his family. Of course, this is not the most important reason, there is another reason, Li Huaiyuan wants to atone for the sins of those people who died under the iron hooves of the Yan Army. Because he owed the grace of the king of Qi, he repaid it with hundreds of thousands of people.

"Of course not, Yao, this is the sword on Zhao Xun's body, which can command the Xiaoguo Army, although he can't command the Xiaoguo Army, but he can let the Xiaoguo Army assist us, and someone will help when the time comes."

"You kid, why are you not big or small, you are the patrol envoy of Youbei, General Yunlu, you can't call him by his name in the future, it's a matter of face." Li Huaiyuan scolded.

"Got it, by the way, there are five hundred Zhao with me...... General Yunlu's personal guard battalion soldiers, Daddy, you can settle it. ”

"You, you, you talked for a long time but put the guests aside." As he spoke, he asked the housekeeper of the mansion here to arrange it.

"By the way, why did General Yunlu's personal guard battalion come with you?" Li Huaiyuan asked.

"Of course, it's here to protect me, and at the same time to preserve the majesty of this sword. Well, those people under Zhao Xun all said so. Anyway, when the time comes, you can just go with me. By the way, they are stressing, don't forget to set fires. Li Xinyan explained again.

Hearing this, Li Huaiyuan also understood what the other party meant, which was nothing more than asking him to cover up that he was killed in battle, and that there were no bones.

After the Xiaoguo army appeared in Wangzhou City and Beizhou City, the Liaodong Army was no longer in a hurry to attack the city, and the weather in the north was getting colder, and the Liaodong Army finally retreated. For the Liaodong Army, Zhao Xun can only endure for the time being, and after occupying Youzhou and recuperating, he must go to Liaodong to wander around, come and not be rude, and let Liaodong taste the taste of being invaded.

Nearly November, the royal family and the imperial court that moved out of Chang'an City arrived in Luoyang, hundreds of thousands of people, more than 100 miles. Dayan's political center has since moved from Chang'an to Luoyang. The distribution of forces was naturally redivided, and this time the left minister Situ Lei had the greatest impact, and there was a gradual decline, but there were two guards in his hands who also moved around Luoyang, so that many people who wanted to move him did not dare to move lightly.

The Xiaoguo army braved the bitter cold and still went south, and finally on the seventh day of the imperial court moving to Luoyang, they besieged the last capital city under Li Huaiyuan's rule, the city of Hengzhou in Hengzhou Prefecture. Prior to this, Li Huaiyuan had never sent troops to resist, but instead let his subordinates' government troops go home, and of course, organized and disciplined "went home" together. This kind of trick makes it hurt to watch, but there is nothing to be done. The rebels are willing, can you manage it? In the end, Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou, who was opposed to Hengzhou Mansion, gritted his teeth and withdrew his army. If you don't withdraw your troops, do you have to wait here for the heavy snow to fall, and then spend the New Year in the snow?

In Hengzhou City, Li Huaiyuan's army in the city is basically finished, that is, more than 10,000 black armor troops led by Li Muzhi have suffered a lot of losses in the counterattack against Cao Gang and the battle to pacify the place, and only more than 6,000 remain. Later, Zhao Xun specially interrogated Li Muzhi to give up the act of letting the Black Armor Army go out.

Now in Hengzhou City, in addition to more than 1,000 governor's guards, there are thousands of government troops, all of which are gathered in the counties of Haizhou Prefecture, and now, these government troops have gradually begun to retreat and return to various places.

Since Li Huaiyuan did not resist at the beginning, many people in the government army knew that the new adjutants who were placed by Li Huaiyuan in various counties to replace the original adjutant were all members of the Xiaoguo army. The officers who reorganized the army for the government army were also the people of the Xiaoguo army. Basically, the Xiaoguo Army has already prepared to unify Youzhou. Therefore, no one objected to the takeover of the Xiaoguo Army. The common people and the merchants, of course, were the ones who were most pleased. As for the big families, most of them have long been cleaned up by Li Huaiyuan, and the rest can't afford to make waves.

The seven southern prefectures of Youzhou, except for Zhuozhou Mansion, were all taken over by the Xiaoguo Army, and Zhuozhou Mansion was surrounded by all the prefectures. As for why the Xiaoguo Army did not take over the Zhuozhou Mansion, everyone in the Zhuozhou Mansion was puzzled, but there were also many people who looked at the Lu family, because they still had more than 10,000 private troops in their hands.
