He can recover Fenzhou.

Even if Liu Dazheng has repaired the city defense for more than a month, he still has an army of 100,000 in his hands. But as long as he is given a strong team, he will be able to break through Fenzhou City within three days, open up the situation for Taiyuan, and reverse the current extremely unfavorable situation.

If not, once Li Ye sent troops to Taiyuan from Yizhou in the southeast and Liu Dazheng from Fenzhou in the southwest, and finally joined forces under the city of Taiyuan, then Li Keyong would really lose the momentum, and there would be no way to retreat, no room for maneuver, so he could only choose to fight to the death.

But at that time, how much was left of the people's hearts and soldiers' morale was low and they had no fighting spirit, so how could they face Li Ye's elite Pinglu army?

Li Cunxiao thought he could recover Fenzhou, and he thought he could turn the tide of the war.

But he couldn't see Li Keyong.

Rick didn't need to see him.

No matter how much he asked, the other party just didn't see.

So it's all in vain.

Li Cunxiao waited for a long time, waited until the officials and generals were in the political affairs hall, and Li Keyong finished their deliberations, and when the officials and generals left one after another, and when the sun set and the moon rose, he had not yet received Li Keyong's summons.

He had no choice but to leave.

When he left the county king's mansion, the reactions of the officials and generals he met along the way were quite different from those when he entered the mansion. When he came in before, although everyone was suspicious of him and had a lot of dissatisfaction with him, they didn't show it too obviously, just showed it with their eyes. And it's not everyone who doubts him.

But when he waited so long and didn't get a summons from Li Keyong, when he came out at this time, the situation was different. The officials and generals no longer had the same scruples as before, and the ridicule and ridicule came out in front of them, and some people did not stop talking when he walked by, and the sound of conversation was clear in the ears.

"What kind of general, a general who can't fight for Hedong, not even the most ordinary general!"

"What do you say about fighting for Hedong, he didn't take refuge in Li Ye to attack Hedong in turn, he is already worthy of us!"

"I used to think that there was a reason for the stalemate in the war in Yizhou, but now it seems that even the king of the county doesn't see him, so there must be something wrong with him!"

"Of course the king of the county won't see him, I'm afraid that if he does, he can't help but do it......, right?

"It's because of him that he lost Yizhou! What leeway should be left for this kind of person? Even if he doesn't go to prison, he should go to the official position and give Hedong an explanation!"

Enduring these voices all the way, Li Cunxiao buried his head and walked out of the county king's mansion quickly. The moment he went out, his face was already dark, and the hidden anger and grievance made the muscles on his face twitch. There are signs of uncontrollable embankment breaking, and the cultivation of the generals of the military family is swaying left and right like mountains, and there is a tendency to collapse.

After returning to the mansion, Li Cunxiao closed the door and never stepped out of the door again.

......

After Li Ye listened to the Tsing Yi Yamen's report on Li Cunxiao's recent situation, there was no surprise on his face, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Keyong will suspect Li Cunxiao, which is inevitable in Li Ye's view, and the divisive plan he and Tsing Yi Yamen jointly implemented is enough to make the two discordant.

Similarly, in the history of the earth, Li Cunxiao finally ended up in a different place because of the jealousy of other generals and the suspicion of being used by Li Ke.

Li Ye glanced at everyone in the hall.

Sitting on either side are two different factions.

On the left are the Pinglu officials, including Shangguan Chengcheng, Li Zhen, Zhao Poyu, Song Jiao and others, which are also the team he brought out from Anwangfu, as well as Nangong No. 1 and Su Emei, who are also full of talents until now.

On the right is the demon clan monk, the Holy Child and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox are all in this list, and the Great Monk of the Immortal Realm brought by the Holy Child is also inside, which is the power of the demon clan to help him, and the cultivation is naturally completely crushing Pinglu's side.

In a word, the Pinglu officials will be a secular force, whether it is governing the local area or fighting on the battlefield, they are the backbone. The so-called literati Anbang warriors set the country, and they are talking about them. The capable people and people with lofty ideals in this group also include Cui Keli and others who sat in Pinglu to temporarily control political affairs and stabilize the rear for Li Ye.

The demon clan cultivators are the cultivation forces, and strictly speaking, their opponents are not secular enemies, but the immortal court, the Buddha realm, and the extraterritorial god sects. It's just that now is not a period of orderly peace, but a situation of great chaos between heaven and earth, and the barrier between heaven and man is no longer so strict.

In addition, this time the Heavenly Dao appeared, forcing both the Immortal Court and the Buddha Domain to send a large number of Immortal Realm monks to the earth, which made the situation of the great battle in the world in front of him even more chaotic.

And what Li Ye was thinking about was that the Daomen Immortal Court and the Shimen Buddha Domain had both sent great monks to snatch the heavenly opportunity, so when would the gods of the foreign sects appear.

Their strength is indeed inferior to the Daomen Immortal Court and the Buddha Domain of the Buddha Sect under normal circumstances, but there are no absolutes in the world, especially when there is a great dispute in the world, there are too many variables.

They also shined brightly, so that both the Daomen and the Liberation Gate were almost destroyed.

If there was no such ability, the Tang Dynasty would not have been in trouble, dozens of states and counties in the border areas of the Quartet would have been occupied, large areas of territory had been plundered, and millions of people had been taken captive, and the Daomen Immortal Court would not have been able to cope with it.

Of course, these things are not the most important things for Li Ye at the moment. What he has to do now is to capture Hedong, get rid of Li Keyong, the great prince who was originally destined to dominate the north, and then snatch the wisp of heaven that will appear in Taiyuan with the Buddha Domain and the Immortal Court.

Li Ye looked around at everyone and slowly spoke: "The army is divided into east and west, and after capturing Fenzhou and Yizhou successively, after attacking from all sides during this time, the enemy in Hedong around the two states has been swept away. Li Changshi and his colleagues have succeeded in soothing the people, and now the order in Fenzhou and Yizhou has been stabilized. Now that the military and government of the two places have been stabilized, the lone king ordered: The armies of the east and west will march together to attack Taiyuan!"

The Pinglu official and the demon clan monk stood up together, clasped their fists and promised: "Obey the military order!"

Looking at the excited faces of everyone and feeling their fighting intent from the bottom of their hearts, Li Ye was quite satisfied and bowed slightly.

Needless to say, the Pinglu officials are the descendants that Li Ye has cultivated after spending many years and countless efforts, even if Li Ye lets them go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, they will not hesitate to carry out the military order.

The demon clan monks also had no doubt about Li Ye's orders, and even the unruly and lawless Holy Child King had changed step by step from the proud attitude of wanting to dominate the situation at the beginning to now fully recognizing his subordinate status. Although it is not enough to bow down to Li Ye, there is no problem in asking him to obey his words.

This is the logical effect of Li Ye's separation between Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao, forcing Li Cunxiao to leave Yizhou, so that the army has fewer strong enemies, easily takes Yizhou City, and holds the general trend in his hands.

However, Li Ye also knew that the demon clan led by the Holy Infant was only temporary and conditional. Aside from that, if he suffers a major defeat next, it is difficult to predict what the other party's attitude will be. So he can't be careless.

Next, Li Ye led the army from Yizhou, and Liu Dazheng led his troops from Fenzhou, and the two sides fought on the east and west sides to encircle Taiyuan City.

Li Ke dispatched troops and generals, relying on the advantages of prefectures, counties, passes, and key roads, and laid down blockade lines one after another, intercepting the two large armies, in a vain attempt to stabilize the situation, and keep Li Ye and Liu Dazheng out of the Taiyuan Gate.

However, Li Ke's idea is destined to be just false.

In the fighting that followed for more than half a month, the officers and troops of the two routes were overwhelmed.

Li Keyong dispatched his henchmen and generals and Taibao to exert their elite combat strength, and the fortified checkpoints along the road were not able to resist at all in front of the elite of the Pinglu Army led by Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Chengcheng, and the officers and troops with the core combat force.

On several occasions, Li Ke used his military talents to mobilize elite troops to attack in almost impossible situations, and then gathered in important places, and used absolute superiority in troops to fight against the officers and troops, but he did not achieve the expected results.

The most fundamental problem is that the Hedong Army can defeat the Zhaoyi Army, the Henghai Army, and the Tianping Army, but as long as it encounters the Pinglu Army, it will not be able to defeat it at all. Therefore, even if they can defeat the former and achieve a lot of gains, they will often be defeated by the latter who arrives immediately before they have time to digest the results.

In particular, Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Chengcheng, two generals, are the combat power that the Hedong Army cannot solve.

Several times the Hedong Army gathered a number of generals, and in the general battle under the situation of superior troops, either with the efforts of Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Chengcheng, they successfully persisted until the arrival of reinforcements, or they were led by the two of them to rush to help in time, and finally failed.

The military talents of the two generals are not bad.

The Hedong Army suffered heavy casualties one after another, and many soldiers surrendered and fled. On both sides of today's war, the officers and soldiers have an absolute advantage.

Under these circumstances, after more than 20 days of hard fighting, the officers and troops of the two routes finally joined forces under the city of Taiyuan.

There were more than 400,000 officers and troops who went to Hedong, except for a small number of troops stationed in important places along the way, and a small number of soldiers who were killed and wounded in previous wars, and finally arrived at the city of Taiyuan, there were more than 350,000.

Although the Hedong Army has 300,000, its mobile strength is far from this number, and after successive defeats, although the number of soldiers killed and wounded has not reached 50,000, generally speaking, the battlefield is always full of surrendered and fleeing soldiers, far more than the battle of death, especially the recent battle in which Li Ke intercepted the officers and troops of the two routes, and when he was defeated, he lost a large number of soldiers.

Now the Hedong army in Taiyuan City is far less than 100,000.

After Li Ye ordered the officers and troops to besiege Taiyuan City, he did not order the army to attack the city immediately. This is not that the city defense of Taiyuan City is built very perfectly, the city wall is increased to a few zhang high, the arrow tower is lined up, and there are countless various city defense equipment such as bed crossbows, rolling stones, wolf tooth slaps, etc.

He's waiting.

The one he was waiting for had not yet appeared.

If the other party does not appear, he will not attack Taiyuan City.

Even if the heavenly opportunity may appear at any time, at least half of the heavenly opportunity will be grasped by capturing the city.
