In fact, the imperial court would choose to send troops, which did not exceed the expectations of the Shandong rebel group headed by President Liu, Li Shidao, and Wu Shaoxiang.

The combat effectiveness of the forbidden army of the imperial court is indeed strong, this is the consensus of everyone.

Regarding the achievements of the Changying Army in Longxi and Longnan, Shandong's feudal towns, big clans, and wealthy families have only heard of it and have not seen it with their own eyes, but the battle of Yunzhou in Shandong was different.

Li Yuxue attacked Yunzhou at night, and ordinary people would only be shocked, but how they were shocked and why they were shocked They couldn't tell one, two, three, four.

There is a way that laymen look at the liveliness, insiders look at the doorway, the same is true for literature, and the same is true for martial affairs.

However, the three towns of Hebei are feudal towns divided by force, and their character and internal affairs are not necessarily excellent, but the military itself is more than ninety percent of the population of the Tang Dynasty, and they understand what others can't see.

As Li Shigu's opponent, the three towns of Hebei naturally understood the defense situation of Yunzhou.

For the wealthy and the big clans, it was just that Li Yu took advantage of the heavy snowy weather and Li Shigu was not well prepared and succeeded in the sneak attack.

But that's all they know.

There's a lot they don't know.

They didn't know that as the base camp of Pinglu Town, which was controlled by the Li family, which had been painstakingly operated for more than 20 years, Yunzhou's administrative seat Yuncheng was heavily walled and always heavily guarded, and taking Yunzhou was something that the three towns in Hebei did not dare to think of.

They didn't know that it was more than one hundred and fifty miles from Caozhou to Yunzhou, and there were at least two lines of defense arranged by Li Shigu in the middle.

They had no idea how difficult it would be to make a long run through the enemy's hinterland under the conditions of the day's temperature dropping below freezing, and with the wind and snow combined.

Under this condition and background, in less than 20 hours, 3,000 cavalry rushed all the way from Caozhou to the city of Yunzhou.

However, all of this eventually became a good story of Li Yuxue's night attack on Yunzhou.

The wealthy and the big families only felt shocked, and at most they called Li Yu a famous general, but they didn't know that this raid battle was almost

Speaking of which, Li Shidao has been in the Central Plains for many years, although his temperament is a little irritable, but Wen Tao's martial arts strategy is superior, and the use of troops and strategies are also superior, and the traps set in Caozhou are not ingenious.

As a result, the day before, I had just received a letter from Li Shigu inviting them to rebel together, and the next day I received the news that Li Yuxue had attacked Yunzhou at night and that Li Shigu had been captured naked.

With more news coming, after learning the specific details, the three major Hebei feudal towns of Mr. Liu, Wang Chengzong, and Tian Ji'an were heartbroken.

Although his mouth is very hard, Li Shigu is a waste, but in fact, everyone knows whose catties and twos, under the same circumstances, if Li Shigu is replaced by himself, the ending will probably be similar.

Therefore, under the huge pressure at that time, all Hebei feudal towns, including Mr. Liu, Wang Chengzong, and Tian Ji'an, collectively chose to surrender, and the Henghai Jiedu envoy even directly handed over the territory and went to Chang'an.

And this time, the forbidden army from Chang'an was only 30,000 people, and although the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army was strong, the number was too small after all.

A mere 30,000 people is really not too big in front of hundreds of thousands of rebels in Hebei, Jiaodong, Liaodong, and Huaixi.

Originally, several elders of the rebel army were still a little uneasy about the imperial court, after all, in their minds, using only 30,000 people to quell the rebellion was like child's play.

But now, after ordering the towns to mobilize, and after seeing the poor dagger, the wishful thinking of the imperial court has also been revealed, with the forbidden army as the core, instigating all towns to attack together.

The way chosen by the imperial court more or less made them feel some pressure, but it was only pressure, although there were more people, but the people were also mixed, and people's hearts were also chaotic.

What's more, they have people in these feudal towns, and the possibility of another thing like the previous raid on Yunzhou by the forbidden army is almost negligible, which removes the trouble of their henchmen.

And judging from the current actions of the forbidden army and the feudal towns, the large-scale recruitment of the people and the large-scale recruitment of soldiers and horses is obviously to be leveled, not a quick victory.

Since they are pushing, they are even less worried, and now what they need is time, they need time to gather troops, wait for reinforcements, create an atmosphere, and wait for the changes in the world.

Taking advantage of the chaos in eastern Liaodong, the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Hebei have begun to mobilize and assemble on a large scale, and now the number of troops assembled has exceeded 150,000.

According to Chen Hongzhi's calculations, in three months, the total strength of the three towns of Weibo, Chengde, and Lulong will exceed 300,000.

A full 300,000, which in itself is already a very powerful force, the Anshi Rebellion, the main forces under An Lushan and Shi Siming are only this number, and this number can already sweep the world.

As for the reinforcements, they came from outside the Tang Dynasty.

At Chen Hongzhi's suggestion, for the sake of the so-called future, after stabilizing the defense line in western Liaoning, Mr. Liu has decided to temporarily abandon Liaodong and instead support Goguryeo, Khitan, Jurchen and other ethnic groups to establish a state.

With the support of President Liu and Lu Longjun, Goguryeo has been de facto restored.

Goguryeo, together with the two-stirring sticks of Silla and Baekje, it is not a problem that the soldiers and horses of the three kingdoms of Silla and Baekje add up to more than 100,000.

Goguryeo used to be quite fierce, but now Goguryeo, which has been injected with servility, is no longer the existence that can wrestle with Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang in the past.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms are a little weaker, as logistics, it is no problem to be cannon fodder, and 100,000 horses is not a small number, and Silla and Baekje are the few regions in the Liaodong region that can provide food.

In addition to Goguryeo, the Khitan, Jurchen, Murwei and other foreign races who went south to participate in the raids have also received a promise from President Liu to help them build the country after completing the great cause.

The Khitan, Jurchen, Murwei and other ethnic groups are relatively backward and quite barbaric, but in a sense, pure barbarism is also a powerful force.

According to Chen Hongzhi and Mr. Liu's calculations, through these worthless promises and a small amount of equipment and iron tools, it is not a problem to obtain about 50,000 soldiers and horses of foreign races who are extremely barbaric.

When Li Yu sensed that the situation in Liaodong was not quite right, because he took the initiative to go north from Cangzhou, in fact, when Li Yu went north from Cangzhou, the chaos in Liaodong had calmed down.

At the same moment, Chen Hongzhi, the real brain of the anti-Tang forces in Shandong, sat quietly in the palace of the Bohai Imperial Palace, the capital of the Bohai Kingdom.

Sitting opposite Chen Hongzhi was the Tang canonized Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, the secretary of the school, the governor of Kuhan Prefecture, and the seventh monarch of the Bohai Kingdom, Da Yuanyu, the king of Bohai.

Although one is a Tang person and the other is a Yan Ya person, the two of them used the Chang'an pronunciation when they talked.

"Time flies too fast, it's been eight years since Chang'an said goodbye."

"Yes, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, in the past, Brother Chen was in his prime, and the lonely king was still a dying boy."

"Speaking of which, this time I have to thank Yuan Yu for his help, otherwise it is unknown whether Liaodong can have the current situation."

"Brother Chen, this is polite, if it weren't for the help of the general (Ju Wenzhen) and Brother Chen all these years, how could I have the opportunity to become the lord of this Bohai Sea."

"It's all as it should be, after all, after so many years, ......"

"Hey, it's a pity that the general ......, by the way, if you need a letter from Brother Chen, why bother to come all the way from the Central Plains to this bitter cold place in the Bohai Sea."

Chen Hongzhi, who had white hair, a crimson face, and was skinny, but his eyes were sharp and could shine, shook his head with a smile.

"How can letters compare to the pleasure of meeting and chatting, and there are some things that can only be brought by me in person, if there is any trace left, I am afraid that it will become the bane of Yuan Yu and even Bohai Kingdom in the future, I have to be cautious."

"Brother!"

Da Yuanyu, who was sitting quietly, nodded.

"Now that I've said this, I won't be polite to Yuan Yu."

"Brother, please speak!"

"Now that the situation in Liaodong has stabilized, Li Tang's court will never let Hebei and Liaodong go on in turmoil."

"Now Li Tang's court has sent soldiers and horses from Chang'an to quell the rebellion, but there are only 30,000 newly formed forbidden troops."

"Only 30,000?"

Da Yuanyu was obviously very surprised, and Da Yuanyu's surprise performance was obviously also expected by Chen Hongzhi.

"Hehe, even Yuan Yu thinks that there are very few soldiers and horses?"

"Just 30,000 ......"

"This is the genius of the abdicated emperor," Chen Hongzhi continued after sighing softly.

"Why is that?"

Chen Hongzhi didn't answer at the first time, but looked at Da Yuanyu in front of him and smiled for a long time, until the king of the Bohai Kingdom in front of him was already a little uneasy.

"Hehe, does Yuan Yu know how I've spent the past five years?"

"I really don't know about this ......, but based on my brother's current appearance, Yuan Yu knows that my brother must have suffered a lot."

"Ahaha," Chen Hongzhi's eyes glowed red after the hysterical laughter.

"In order to avenge my father-in-law, I vowed to let Li Tang be completely destroyed, from Lingnan to Mobei, from Tubo to Liaodong, I have almost traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Nanzhao, Annan, Dongying, Mobei, Liaodong, Jiannan, Guanzhong, Shandong everywhere have my footprints."

"In order to watch Li Tang's state fall apart, I contacted all the anti-Tang forces that I could contact, including Tubo, Nanzhao, Uighur Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo!"

"In order to make Li Tang die without a place to be buried, I bewitched, fanned, and induced all the ambitious, disgruntled, and unquenchable forces, Liu Pi of Jiannan Province, Lu Long Liu Zong of Hebei Province, Li Shidao of Jiaodong of Henan Province, Wu Shaoxiang of Huaixi of Jiannan Province, Fanyang Lu's family, Hezhong Dong's family, Langya Wang's family, Lanling Xiao's ......"

"In order to make Li Tang recover, I tried my best to plan the situation of attacking Tang all over the world!"

The madness shown by the skeleton and zombie-like Chen Hongzhi made Da Yuanyu's heart tremble, what Chen Hongzhi didn't know was that in the eyes of Da Yuanyu at this time, Chen Hongzhi was a madman who kept his sobriety!

"I have prepared a lot of people, a lot of things, a lot of forces, and a lot of soldiers and horses for the destruction of Li Tang, but there is only one direction, not the reason why my plan may lead to the fall of Li Tang."

"Where?"

"Hebei!"

"Ah???h

Hebei, hearing Chen Hongzhi's voice, Da Yuanyu was obviously stunned.

Even if he is far away in Bohai Kingdom, he knows that the three towns of Hebei are now the biggest stubborn disease within Datang, the biggest hidden danger in Datang, and the most likely reason for the downfall of Datang.

What's more, the Bohai Kingdom borders on Lu Long, and Da Yuanyu once went to Chang'an as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and from the Bohai State to Chang'an, he needs to pass through Hebei, and he has seen more elite soldiers and horses than Lu Long in Liaodong, so Da Yuanyu is very clear about the strength of Lu Long's border army.

But Chen Hongzhi said that Hebei was the most unlikely reason, how could Da Yuanyu not be surprised.

"I know what Yuan Yu is thinking, and I also know what Yuan Yu is wondering about, I ask you, you, I even find a random scholar to know that Hebei is the biggest hidden danger of Li Tang, so Emperor Li Tang, Li Tang's court, Li Tang's important ministers, Li Tang's generals will not know?"

"This ......"

Da Yuanyu was stunned.

"Li Tang's Emperor Li Chan's scheming is deep, Li Tang's emperor Li Chun's forbearance is strong, Guo Rong's tenacity who sticks to Xingqing Palace and makes his father-in-law hate, and ......"

"What a powerful team this is, one person, two people may be able to ignore it, but there are so many of them, how can they turn a deaf ear to Li Tang's biggest hidden danger."

"I'm afraid that before Hebei really raised troops, Li Tang's center had already studied Hebei thoroughly and infiltrated enough, and they were also well prepared for how to quell the rebellion after the Hebei rebellion, with their ability, I believe that even if they give Liu an extra 100,000 soldiers and horses, they will never have any worries."

"And this time, they only sent 30,000 forbidden troops to show this, and Li Tang's court is not afraid of Hebei at all!"

"On the contrary, Hebei now occupies the right time, place, and people, if at this time, like An Lushan and Shi Siming, they move south with lightning speed before the Li Tang court reacts, maybe it is really possible to threaten Li Tang."

"However, these cowardly, incompetent, and indecisive guys dare not act rashly because of Li Yu's more than 20,000 people, and they miss the opportunity, which is simply the way to die!"

"The Tubo people, the Nanzhao people, the Fanbing of Lingnan, the monkeys of Annan, the foot basin chicken of Dongying, the Liu Pi of Jiannan Province, Ren Dijian of Fengzhou, the Yao Geluo of Mobei, the Dong family in the river, and even the Bohai Kingdom of Yuan Yu may really kill Li Tang, but it is impossible for the feudal towns in Hebei!"

Chen Hongzhi's words appeared in Yuan Yu's mind like thunder!

Yuan Yu did respect Chen Hongzhi very much before, and he also valued Chen Hongzhi very much, but at this time, Yuan Yu found that he still underestimated Chen Hongzhi today.

At this time, Yuan Yu's title for addressing him changed from the original Brother Chen to the elder brother, and this time it was upgraded again.

"Big brother! Sure enough, Zhuge was resurrected, Zhang Zifang was reincarnated, Yuan Yu admired! ”

Seeing Yuan Yu's current performance, the flush on Chen Hongzhi's face began to fade slowly, and the hysteria of the whole person weakened a little.

"Yuan Yu praised it! If the stepfather is alive ......"

The two of them then fell silent, and after a long time, thinking of Chen Hongzhi's own mention just now that the Bohai Kingdom was also a killing move that might destroy the Tang Dynasty, Da Yuanyu's heart was full of heat.

Destroying the Tang Dynasty, what a great achievement, looking at Chen Hongzhi who seemed to be immersed in grief, Da Yuanyu, who couldn't hold his breath, spoke first.

"Big brother, please mourn...... After all, the eldest brother's ambition has not yet been realized, and the general's enmity is still there, so the eldest brother must stop. ”

"Regarding revenge, the eldest brother came all the way to the younger brother to hope that the younger brother would be, if there is a need, the eldest brother can speak bluntly, if there is a half possibility, the younger brother will definitely do his best."

Yuan Yu's performance fell into Chen Hongzhi very satisfied, and this is exactly what he has understood in the past few years, and it is completely better to persuade forcibly than to make the object of persuasion come to himself with convincing.

"Yuan Yu has heard a sentence, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind?"
