Chapter 25: Troubled Times (II) [Eighth Update]
Huiming didn't seem to notice Li Keyong's displeasure, and said unhurriedly: "Because Wang Duo has mastered the military power and has already left Shu." ”
"Wang Duo?" Li Keyong was slightly stunned, "That's just a civil official, no different from Zheng Jin, he has the power of the army, and he can change the situation?"
"Yes. This time, Huiming's answer was unusually succinct.
Li Ke asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
Huiming said: "Because Wang Duo is a loyal and upright minister. ”
Li Keyong said: "Loyal and upright ministers can win wars?"
Hui Ming said: "Loyal ministers can't win the war, but they can give talented people who are eager to serve the country a chance to make contributions on the battlefield." ”
Li Keyong frowned, and quickly understood what Huiming meant: "Wang Duo can make this general make a contribution?"
Huiming asked, "What is the reason why the general stayed in Hedong and couldn't go south?"
Li Keyong said: "Why does the master ask knowingly, of course the grain is uneven." He quickly reacted: "Can Wang Duo solve the problem of food and straw for my army?"
Huiming bowed his head and said: "Hedong Jiedu made Zheng Congyan not give the general grain, and what delayed was the overall situation of the dynasty to fight for thieves. If Wang Duo can persuade Zheng Congyan and the general to abandon their previous suspicions and provide food for the army, then the general can lead the troops south. ”
Li Keyong pondered for a moment: "Can Wang Duo convince Zheng Congyan?"
Huiming showed a smile, he was born red and moist, his skin was as white as snow, he was a white-faced monk, but his lips were very red, this smile actually had the color of the country, and it was very strange: "Zheng Congyan did not give the general food, because he was afraid that the general would make trouble after entering the Central Plains, so he did not hesitate to bear the infamy of delaying the fighter, which shows that he is also a loyal and upright minister." Since they are all loyal and upright ministers, for the sake of the overall situation of the country, Wang Duo can certainly convince Zheng Congyan. ”
Li Ke looked at Huiming a few times seriously, and sometimes he was also very strange, why is a monk's head so flexible, not at all like a born person, but also, there is no real born master in this world.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Why does Wang Duo have to recruit generals to go south? Now that Li Ye has swept across the Central Plains, east of Tongguan, there are almost no thieves, and the situation is very good." ”
Huiming said: "Because the general wrote a letter to Wang Duo, stating his ambition to serve the country, and Wang Duo will certainly not refuse in order to pacify the thieves." ”
Li Keyong wondered, "When did Ben write such a letter?"
Hui Ming smiled again: "Now." ”
On the same day, Li Keyong sent a letter to Wang Duo, requesting to join forces with Li Ye and fight against Huangchao.
When Wang Duo received Li Keyong's letter, he had just arrived not long ago, which was great news for him, because once Li Keyong led his troops south, it was bound to greatly enhance Li Ye's strength and open up a new situation for Wang Shi's battle against thieves.
Wang Duo immediately wrote to Li Yan, canonized Li Keyong as the envoy of the Yanmen Festival, and happily wrote to Zheng Congyan, asking the other party to supply Li Keyong with grain. After Zheng Congyan received Wang Duo's letter, he hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and took Wang Duo's military order.
It is rumored that after Zheng Congyan received the military order, he once said to his cronies: "Today, in order to destroy the thieves in the house, I will not hesitate to lure the wolf into the house, and the future will be unpredictable!"
When Li Keyong gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses in Daizhou and led his troops south, Li Ye had already marched to Tongguan.
After defeating Zhu Wen, the Pinglu Army, the Zhongwu Army, and the Caizhou soldiers under the leadership of Li Ye fought for many days, and even won the battle, and all the Huangchao rebels east of Tongguan were swept away.
On that day, the autumn was crisp, Li Ye, Yang Fuguang, Zhou Qi and others led the generals to ride their horses out of the camp and look at Tongguan nearby.
Li Ye pointed to Tongguan and said to everyone: "There are poems in the Du Gong Department: the Zhangren sees the important places, the narrow and narrow bicycles, the hard work of the long halberd, and the eternal use of a husband." The so-called one husband should be closed, and it is said that this kind of male pass. ”
Yang Fuguang covered his forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "The handsome can fight well, and he can be so well-read, our family really admires it." ”
After saying this, Yang Fuguang continued: "There are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north, Zhongnan Mountain in the south, Huayue in the west, and the forbidden valley in the east. There are twelve cities in the south to rely on, but the road in the middle can only accommodate a cart and a horse, Tongguan is dangerous according to this, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. What the marshal said is indeed appropriate. ”
Zhou Qi guarded against the well-guarded Xiongguan, which was full of soldiers, his face was very solemn, and he sighed: "The yellow thief was able to conquer Tongguan that day, because the soldiers guarding the pass were unstable, the food and grass were not enough, the arrows were scarce, and the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of. Now that the Xiongguan Pass is stable and the thief army is very tightly defended, it will not be easy for us to capture the pass. ”
Li Ye was noncommittal, when he looked up, his brows moved slightly, and two extremely strong breaths faintly emanated from the city. Although the other party did not deliberately exert pressure, Li Ye still clearly sensed that it was the strength that only a real realm master has.
Above this Tongguan, there are actually two masters of the real human realm!
What Li Ye didn't know was that the head of the Daomen of Zhongnan Mountain had already come forward in person, and the Great Elder and many disciples of the Daomen were sitting here. After Wuyazi and Wujizi died in the hands of Li Ye one after another, they were already extremely jealous of Li Ye, Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong, Tongguan is not lost, Guanzhong is safe, they came here to prevent Li Ye from gathering masters to forcibly rush through the pass.
Li Ye frowned slightly, in addition to the two masters of the real realm, he also sensed several high-level Qi cultivation ranks.
With these masters, Tongguan can be described as impregnable, with his current strength, he must always be on guard against two real people, and join forces to attack him outside the pass, not to mention that like in Dengzhou, he will take the lead in charging into battle to tear apart the opponent's defense.
Not only Li Ye can't, but even the masters under his command can't be easily dispatched, otherwise they will be delivering food to the two real people.
"It's really amazing, send all the masters to Tongguan, don't you want Guanzhong?" Li Ye shook his head with a wry smile, and the care of Zhongnan Mountain Daomen for him can be described as meticulous.
However, Li Ye is not in a hurry, anyway, Li Keyong is coming soon, he doesn't believe it, as the king of Jin who dominates the three Jin Dynasty in the future, there will be no master comparable to the real human realm behind the other party, that Huiming monk is obviously not bad, although he is not a real human realm, but I heard that there are many unborn masters in Juexiao Temple.
Defeat Huang Chao, this great achievement, Li Ye didn't plan to swallow it alone, and he couldn't swallow it, Guanzhong Huang Chao had hundreds of thousands, countless good generals, and elites everywhere, if there were a few more generals in it, even if Li Ye found Chu Nanhuai, or even called Zhang Jiuling, it would be useless, after all, there were too many enemy troops, and it exceeded the upper limit that the monks could decide the victory.
In a battle, the strong can decide the victory or defeat, and in a war, it is only the army that can decide the outcome of the war.
At the moment, the allies that Li Ye can rely on are actually only Li Keyong, as for the other feudal towns on the four sides of Guanzhong, if they are really useful, they will not be beaten by Zhu Wen to cry and cry that his mother can't find the north.
Li Ye calmed down and waited for Li Keyong to appear.
By this time, Zhu Wen had already captured Tongzhou.
When Li Ye swept the Huangchao rebellion east of Tongguan, Daqi's army was not idle in Guanzhong, Huangchao's plan was very simple, since the Central Plains territory was too big to control, then don't care about it for now, just hold Tongguan, wait for him to solve the enemy army on all sides of the pass, free his hands, and then fight with Li Ye, and then pacify the world.
Zhu Wen returned to Chang'an from Dengzhou, first defeated the soldiers and horses of Fengxiang, Suining, and Xiasui towns, and then Huang Chao saw that the situation in Guanzhong was basically stable, so he had a plan to expand the territory, so he let Zhu Wen serve as the defense envoy of Tongzhou.
Tongzhou was not under the control of the Great Qi army, so Zhu Wen had to lead the army to defeat it.
Huang Chao's appointment of military generals is mostly like this, and there are many appointments to assassin history, defense envoys, and jiedu envoys, but they are all false, and if you really want to take office, you must first take the territory from the Tang army.
After Zhu Wen captured Tongzhou, he had his own territory and was in a very good mood. At the beginning, he led his troops out of Tongguan to attack Dengzhou, and after defeating Dengzhou, he had his own foothold. However, Li Ye made things yellow, so that Zhu Wen was not annoyed.
This time to capture Tongzhou, it can be regarded as a successful achievement of the goal of possessing a place, with its own territory, in the future, it will be able to fight strongly, watch the situation and move, and rely on the advance and retreat.
The generals and soldiers under his command were assigned to the field house, even if they took root, their loyalty and dependence on Zhu Wen became more stable, even if Huang Chao was destroyed, if Zhu Wen handled it properly, he might not die with Huang Chao.
As the chief general of the army, Zhu Wen is not short of women, even if he doesn't rob it himself, the generals under his command will rob it, and he will select the good ones first and serve them to him.
Wherever the army went, it was not said that there was no grass, but there was still a reason why the military disaster was called a military disaster, not to mention that the people were looted, and those young women and women could not escape their fate.
The day after conquering Tongzhou, Zhu Wen was resting in the hall, when suddenly there was a lot of noise outside, and a large group of armor soldiers poured in, and occasionally there were loud laughter and low cries, and from time to time the school gate poured into the door, it turned out that he had brought several captive stunning beauties to be dedicated to Zhu Wen.
Zhu Wen has always been obsessed with the daughter of the Songzhou Thorn History that he saw on the street when he was not in the army, although he has dealt with many women over the years, but they have all been used and discarded, and he has never planned to seriously enter the house.
The army had just won a big victory and was in a good mood, so Zhu Wen glanced at the women.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, staring at one of the women. The other party's hair was scattered, his clothes were rough, he was very embarrassed, he sat on the ground, bowed his head and sobbed, his thin shoulders shook slightly, Chu Chu was pitiful, but the color of the country could not be concealed, and he was secretly weeping at the moment, wandering helplessly, and there was no other style.
Zhu Wen quickly stood up and came to the woman, his hands trembling with excitement, and his facial features twitched. He helped the woman up, took a closer look, and sure enough, wasn't this the girl he saw on the street at the beginning?
