"Pei Shu was stabbed to death?" Li Ye looked at Zhao Chongning, who was ashamed in front of him, and said incredulously.

"It is the crime of dereliction of duty and incompetence of the minister." Zhao Chongning bowed his head and arched his hand.

Li Ye was noncommittal, he didn't expect the methods of the cow ghost snake god to be so vicious, but fortunately he let Liu Quanli keep an eye on this matter and control the chaos to a minimum.

Zhao Chongning is a humble gentleman, he reads the book of sages, it is normal not to know these conspiracies, but he can't control the overall situation, and he is helpless in the face of the crisis to deal with it inappropriately, which is his problem.

In the final analysis, the methods of the main messenger behind the scenes are shady, and they cannot be dealt with by light means alone.

Zhao Chongning cleared the fields, checked the population, and there was no problem in doing these practical things, but it was a little powerless to push it to the front desk to preside over the reform.

To put it bluntly, restructuring is dealing with people.

Blind uprightness is not advisable, it sometimes exacerbates contradictions, and there are people with ulterior motives lurking among them.

"Sir is frightened today, so I have to rest." Li Ye said with relief.

Zhao Chongning said: "Your Majesty, since Li Fuguo, as soon as the eunuch gains power, he will be lawless....."

"I see." Li Ye interrupted him, he knew what Zhao Chongning was going to say, and he also knew what Zhao Chongning was thinking.

Civil officials and eunuchs are natural enemies, and this has always been the case.

It's just that in today's situation, Li Ye doesn't use Liu Quanli, who can he use?

Li Ye originally had hopes for Wei Zhaodu and other old ministers, but unfortunately all he was waiting for was disappointment.

It's not as useful as a Han Quanhui to scavenge money and food from various feudal towns.

Zhao Chongning saw that Li Ye's face was not good, so he said goodbye and left.

Seeing Zhao Chongning leaving, Liu Quanli appeared in front of Li Ye, "Your Majesty, the person behind the scenes has been identified, named Li Zhen, and now General Jinwu." “

Jin Wuwei was in charge of the day and night patrol of the palace and the capital, but after Li Hao built the Tiance and Praetorian Guard armies, the Jin Wu army was equivalent to being abolished, and General Jin Wu naturally couldn't do it.

originally thought it was a hidden act in Bianzhou, but I didn't expect it to be an old man from Chang'an.

"Li Zhen?" Judging from his series of means, this person is not a simple character.

"Li Zhennai Dezong Dynasty famous minister Li Baozhen, since childhood, studious, tried and failed, can only join the army mixed background, last year just promoted to the general of Jinwu, was dismissed, idle at home, so hated the court, convened the old department to plan this matter."

In this way, this Li Zhen is still after the meritorious service.

Li Ye felt that Datang died in the corrupt imperial examination.

At the beginning, Huang Chao also wanted to take the civil service exam, but was turned away.

Jing Xiang has also failed many attempts, and like Li Juchuan, it is useless to be admitted.

"Did you catch it?" Li Ye really wanted to meet this person.

Liu Quanli said: "The day before the incident, this person happened to be sent by the imperial court to eastern Zhejiang to comfort Dong Chang, and the slave maid had already sent the Imperial City Detective to Tongguan and Shangzhou to pursue it. “

Li Ye sighed in his heart, this person is so cunning, out of Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it again.

To say that this potential enemy of the Tang Dynasty is really true

No, Li Ye suddenly thought of something, "The imperial court is being reformed, who gave the order?" “

On behalf of the imperial court, Dong Chang in eastern Zhejiang, such a big thing, he, the emperor, didn't know at all.

Besides, the old members of the six departments of the three provinces, a general Jinwu, do not have such great energy, that is to say, there are still big fish lurking in Chang'an City.

Liu Quanli's face changed, "The slave will go and investigate." “

In the area from Tongzhou to Puzhou, several cavalry teams frequently came and went, and their footprints were found in the nearby mountains and valleys.

Zhou Yunyi sometimes led his troops across Puzhou and Hezhong Province to explore in the direction of Jiangzhou.

The river, where the army was gathered, was surprisingly calm, and apart from skirmishes between scouts from all sides, there were few major battles.

"General, the south has discovered that the Liang army scouts are spying on our army." The subordinates handed over the water bladder, and Zhou Yunyi drank it all.

Taiyuan and Bianzhou both regarded the river as fat and refused to let go, starting from Li Hanzhi, the two sides continued to increase their strength, and finally Li Keyong personally led the army to come.

However, Zhu Wen's movements are still unknown, and after Jiangzhou, the chances of the scouts surviving have dropped greatly, and those who are lucky enough to come back alive have not brought back any useful information.

"Grab your tongue and come back." Zhou Yunyi gave an order, and several strong knights around him rushed out of the array.

After a stick of incense, he returned with the Liang army scouts.

At this time, smoke and dust were billowing from the south and east at the same time, and it seemed that two groups of cavalry were surrounding.

"Retreat." Zhou Yunyi sighed, the Liang army came so quickly, he was also ready to cross Jiangzhou and go farther to Jinzhou and Shaanzhou to investigate.

The cavalry of the Liang army pursued them to Hezhong Mansion before retreating.

Whether it was Zhou Yunyi or Liang Jun, coming and going under the city wall of Hezhong Mansion, Hezhong Jun closed the city gate as if he didn't see it.

The Kasaka camp was stuck on the main road in and out of the pass, and the Praetorian Guards would interrogate everyone who came and went.

There was chaos in the river, and the displaced people ran to Guanzhong.

This is what Zhou Yunyi is happy to see.

Of course, there are also those who go to the river from Guanzhong, and for such people, the interrogation of the Praetorian Guards should be more detailed.

When Zhou Yunyi led the cavalry back to the camp, he saw a soldier interrogating a scholar.

Ordinary people would be a little frightened when they saw the murderous cavalry approaching, but this scholar was quite calm, and smiled kindly at Zhou Yunyi.

Zhou Yunyi glanced at him up and down, this person seemed to be a little angry, which aroused his interest, and he got off the horse and approached, "Who are you?" What to do in the river? “

The scholar bowed to Zhou Yunyi, "This general, in Xia Jingzhao Li Zhen, went to Hezhong Mansion to save his relatives." “

When he heard that he was going to Hezhong Mansion, Zhou Yunyi didn't take it too seriously, most of the people who came and went went to Hezhong Mansion, after all, there was a salt pond there, and it was quite peaceful.

Zhou Yunyi didn't think too much, "It's not peaceful in the river, you should be careful." “

Li Zhenchong and Zhou Yunyi arched his hand, "Thank you for the reminder, the villain is provincial." “

When Guo Chongtao returned to the Jin army camp, he finally saw some soldiers who had recovered their morale.

Of course, ordinary soldiers didn't know the situation they were facing now, and they could only see one Jiangzhou City.

"Shi Shucong's 30,000 troops entered Wangyue Mountain, just blocking the path of our army's retreat to Qinzhou." A flash of remorse flashed in Rick's one-eyed eyes.

"Zhu Quanzhong has always used his troops steadily and steadily, planning and then acting, never exposing his weaknesses, and it is too difficult for our army to find its weaknesses." For the strongest overlord in the world, Guo Chongtao must have an understanding.

The land in the river is too important to Li Keyong, not only the problem of population and land, once it falls into the hands of Zhu Wen, there will be a fulcrum to attack Hedong and Zhaoyi, which is the most unacceptable for Li Keyong.

"Is it true that our army can't fight in the river?" Li Ke used a face full of unwillingness.

On the way back, Guo Chongtao had already thought about this problem, what the Jin army needed now was a victory, and even a small victory would greatly enhance the confidence of the soldiers.

"Zhu Quanzhong does not expose his weakness, we can draw out his weakness."

"Oh? Hurry up. “

"Zhu Quanzhong tried to use Jiangzhou to consume the strength of our army, but our army does not need to fight to the death in Jiangzhou, Qinzhou can't go, but go to Xizhou in the north, Zhang Cunjing and Wang Chongshi are meaningless to defend Jiangzhou, and it is meaningless for Shi Shucong's 30,000 troops in Wangyue Mountain, and if we hold Xizhou, our army will break away from the encirclement of the Liang army, and any army of Zhang Cunjing, Wang Chongshi, Shi Shucong, and Li Si'an will dare to chase after them, and they will be sent to death."

Li Keyong groaned again, he didn't know that this was Guo Chongtao's subtle persuasion to withdraw his troops.

"The king must not hesitate any longer, if he goes down to the sky in Jiangzhou City, the situation will be unfavorable to us."

Li Ke slapped a palm on the case table in front of him, and with a "snap", the case was torn apart, "Tomorrow, the army will retreat to Xizhou!" “
