The people's hearts in the land of the five states of Pinglu have already promoted Li Ye's cultivation from the seventh layer of qi cultivation to the Yin God True Person. Although there is the popularity of the world obtained by the Great War of Huangchao, the weight of the land of the five states can be seen from this. There are more than 300 states in the Tang Dynasty, if they can win the hearts of the people, what extent can Li Ye's cultivation reach?

Early in the morning, on the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Ye stood facing west and looked at Wei Bo.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, Wei Bo has always been a strong vassal and his Jiedu envoy is an old general of Anshi who has surrendered to the imperial court, and has always been unruly. Even in the era of Xuanzong, the imperial court did not have the right to appoint and dismiss Wei Bojiedu. After the death of the previous Jiedu envoy, or his son succeeded to the throne, or the army supported a new Jiedu envoy, and then reported to the imperial court, the imperial court only recognized.

"Wei Bo owns the land of the six states, whether it is people, wealth or soldiers, there are more than Pinglu. Huangchao troubled the Central Plains, but it has always been in Henan (south of the Yellow River), and has never set foot in Hebei (north of the Yellow River), so Wei Bo has been able to preserve his strength. Today's Weibo has 200,000 soldiers and horses, which should not be underestimated. ”

Li Zhen came behind Li Ye and looked at Wei Bo with a long sigh.

Li Ye smiled and disagreed: "This time, the demon clan bewitched Wei Bo's soldiers to make trouble, and they made trouble in the local area, which gave me a reason to send troops, but Wei Bojiedu didn't seem to welcome me into the country." ”

Li Zhen flicked the dust on his sleeve and sneered: "It's not just that it's not welcome, according to the Tsing Yi Yamen report, Wei Bojiedu has gathered heavy troops in Bozhou. Judging from the humble position, in the county town not far away, I am afraid that there are many elites hidden, and I want to wait for our army to cross the river, and attack it halfway!"

Li Ye looked left and right: "The grain and straw of Tianping and Henghai have almost arrived, and it is time for the army to cross the river." ”

......

The nearest to Pinglu is Bozhou, and the state is in Weizhou. Cao Zhongming, the current envoy of Wei Bo's festival, is at the moment by the small lake in the envoy's mansion, feeding the swimming fish gathered in the lake.

Cao Zhongming is in his fifties, and the years have left indelible marks on his face, but they have not been able to bend his strong waist. The sun shone on his shoulders, and the old man in the black robe was in good spirits. The maids and servants nearby all lowered their eyebrows and ears, and they didn't dare to look directly at this Wei Bojie envoy who didn't even give face to the court.

His figure is like a deep whirlpool, even in the sun, it looks unfathomable, and even if a person with low cultivation just glances, his eyes will sting, and his mind does not belong.

"Father, the envoy of the king of Longxi is here again, and the envoy of the king of An is also here, do you want to see him?"

A sturdy man who was standing up walked over the cobblestone path next to the rockery and saluted behind Cao Zhongming. He has a body as strong as an ox, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Cao Zhongming, but he is less majestic and steady, and more determined and enterprising.

This is Cao Zhongming's eldest son, and he is also the heir he values the most, and Cao Xijin, who has reached the high level of Qi cultivation in the first year.

Cao Zhongming didn't seem to hear Cao Xijin's words, and hurriedly finished throwing the fish food in his hand. Clapped his hands, returned to the gazebo from the lake and sat down, and then said without saltiness: "No." ”

The so-called king of Longxi County is Li Keyong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu.

Cao Xijin came to Cao Zhongming's side, with a worried look on his face: "Father, King An is menacing, obviously saying that he is attacking Hedong, but how far away Hedong is, Wei Bo is right in front of him." Who dares to guarantee that attacking Hedong is not a pretense, and King An is actually plotting against me Wei Bo?"

Cao Zhongming waved his hand, and a maid dressed in silk and with a graceful figure came to the pavilion with broken steps, knelt down and began to make tea, and said lightly: "On the bank of the Chen Bing River, King An, is plotting against me Wei Bo, and the king of Longxi County is willing to come to help in the war, isn't it plotting against me Wei Bo?"

Cao Xijin was stunned for a moment, but then said: "Father, between Wei Bo and Hedong, after all, there is still a Zhaoyi Festival envoy. Li Keyong wants to plot against Wei Bo, but I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? But there is no barrier between Wei Bo and Pinglu. Now that King An is marching into the army, this is an urgent need!"

Cao Zhongming closed his eyes and recuperated, his own beautiful maid knelt down, and pinched his legs and shoulders for him with her delicate and white hands, "King An's entry into the army is certainly an urgent need, but if the Hedong army is allowed to enter, it is a long-term worry." In any case, King An's conquest of Hedong has a righteous name and a court edict. This time, I, Wei Bo, if I let the Hedong Army enter and fight with Pinglu, no matter whether I win or lose, there will be endless troubles. How can such a thing as luring tigers to drive wolves and drinking ducks to quench thirst be done?"

This is said clearly, but it does not solve the practical problem, Cao Xijin said eagerly: "Then let the Pinglu army enter the country?"

Glancing at Cao Xijin, Cao Zhongming snorted dissatisfiedly, "Let the Pinglu army enter the country? You have eaten all the food for the past 30 years! Since I Wei Bo established the town, who have soldiers and horses dared to enter my Wei Bo? Even when Xuanzong was alive, the Shence Army did not dare to set foot in Wei Bo! What kind of thing is he, Li Ye, and what kind of shrimp soldiers and crab generals are the Pinglu army, why dare to plot against me Wei Bo?!"

The words were loud and domineering, revealing the demeanor of Wei Boqiang's domain.

Hearing this, Cao Xijin's eyes lit up: "What does my father mean?"

Cao Zhongming's expression regained his majesty and calmness, and he put the maid's warm jade-like hand in his hand, and played with it carefully, as if he was rubbing a jade artifact, "Wei Bo's affairs have always been Wei Bo's own decision, when will the court be allowed to dictate? What kind of chaotic soldiers, what kind of demons, there is no need for the court to ask! The court can't ask, what kind of thing is he, Li Ye, and he dares to take care of my Wei Bo's idle affairs? If you want to plot against me Wei Bo, okay, I want to see what he Li Ye is plotting with!"

Cao Xijin's expression was shocked: "My son will go to Bozhou to fight now! I promise not to let the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Pinglu step into Bozhou!"

"That's what it looks like. Cao Zhongming nodded slightly, "You just said that King An's envoy is here?"

"Yes. ”

"Cut off his ears and drive out Webb. ”

"Father?"

"I just want Li Ye's yellow-mouthed child to know, let the court and the world know that I, Wei Bo, have been strong for a hundred years, and I will continue to be strong! Wei Bo's affairs, Wei Bo is in charge, anyone who dares to have ill intentions towards Wei Bo, and anyone who wants to lead troops into the country, must be prepared to bear Wei Bo's anger!" Cao Xijin snorted coldly, and the cultivation of the real people in the spiritual pool suddenly burst out, and the spiritual wind in the pavilion suddenly raged, and the maids screamed and fell to the ground.

"Father has achieved the real realm, congratulations father!" Cao Xijin is overjoyed, Wei Bo has always been powerful, not only the military is strong, but the strength of the monks is even greater, and the successive envoys of the festival are all in the high level of Qi training, "At present, the majesty of the imperial court is lost, and Kyushu is in chaos. When the world is in turmoil, my father has achieved the real realm, and Wei Bo will definitely be able to make a great difference!"

Cao Zhongming glanced at Cao Xijin lightly, retracted his coercive momentum, and showed his confidence and calmness, "Why don't you go soon?"

"Yes!

.......

The soldiers and horses of the Tianping army who came to help in the battle had arrived, and the number was no more, no less, 40,000 people, and the last batch of grain and straw also arrived with the army. Li Ye asked Xue Wei to show his face, and of course he still asked him to inform the Tianping Army that he had to obediently return to Li Ye's command now.

At the same time, all the grain and straw of the Henghai Jiedu envoy also arrived, and the 10,000 soldiers who transported the grain brought the instructions of the Henghai Jiedu envoy to follow the Pinglu army to fight and talk about help. In this regard, Li Ye, of course, did not refuse to come.

The pontoon bridge has been basically repaired, and the bridgehead part on the opposite bank is missing, as long as the last part is built, the Pinglu army will be able to cross the river. But it was at this time that the envoy sent by Li Ye to Weizhou came back, and the other party lost two ears and brought back Cao Zhongming's attitude.

In the big tent, looking at the messenger with bandages wrapped around and his ears scarlet, Li Ye's eyes were slightly gloomy after the handsome case. The generals on both sides were furious and scolded Cao Zhongming one after another.

Li Zhen took the case, as Li Ye's confidant and strategist, he was furious at the moment, and bowed his hand to Li Ye and said: "Honest envoy, Cao Zhongming is too presumptuous, and he deceives people too much! He completely did not take the court and His Royal Highness in his eyes, how is this kind of behavior different from rebellion? According to the lower officials, the army does not need to pass through Weibo, and directly captures Weibo County!"

Liu Dazheng then got up and clenched his fists violently, as a military general, he could not bear this humiliation, and his face was already red at this moment: "Military commander, is it tolerable or unbearable! Cao Zhongming, where is this cutting off the ears of the envoy, this is clearly a slap in the face of my Pinglu, a slap in the face of my Tang court! The last general asks for orders to attack Bozhou immediately!"

The generals spoke one after another, impassioned, and filled with righteous indignation, and the big tent seemed to explode.

Li Ye sat still, but his voice was already full of murderous aura: "Yoda, Song Jiao!"

Yoda and Song Jiao responded: "I'll listen to the order!"

"Monks go out and occupy the west bank of the pontoon!"

The two promised in unison: "I'll wait for the order!"

Li Ye ordered again: "Shangguan is in the city, this commander orders you, lead the wolf tooth capital with 3,000 horses, as the vanguard to cross the river, ready to go at any time!"

Shangguan Allure hugged his fists and promised.

"Liu Dazheng!"

"The last general!"

"After crossing the river, the army will take Bozhou directly!"

"The last general commands!"

"Zhao Poyu!"

"The last general!"

"Your department is the vanguard of attacking Bozhou!"

"The last general commands!"

Li Ye stood up, his eyes were like swords, and he swept over everyone: "Since Wei Bo is looking for death, there is no need for Wei Bo in the world." After this battle, the six prefectures of Weibo will all belong to me Pinglu! All the departments will quickly go to prepare, perform their own duties, and tomorrow Buddha will dawn, cross the river, and start a war!"

When the generals and officials heard this, their expressions were greatly lifted, and this was an expansion of territory! If this battle can be won, it means that there will be more official posts and resources in six states after the war. If the generals and officials make meritorious contributions in this battle, they will be able to share in the rich results in the future, increase the number of officials and knights, and even be able to dominate the ruling side!
