Chapter 69 Differential Treatment
With the help of the monks of the Buddha Domain, if Li Si wanted to escape, he would have been able to go, but he insisted on fighting in the city without retreating, so he could only be greeted with death.
Li Sien is not the chief general of Yizhou, and the burden on his shoulders is smaller, even if he is defeated in this battle, he can comfort himself with the reason that the arranger is not his own, and let himself believe that he did not lose to Li Cunxiao. So he left.
It was Shangguan Allure who killed Li Siben, and Li Ye could see it clearly in mid-air. Li Sien led the elite soldiers to break through and escape route, he also saw it, but he did not pursue it. Because he knew that Li Sien would not be able to escape back to Taiyuan.
During the general attack on Yizhou, he gave orders to the Zhaoyi army in the three northwestern counties of Yizhou, asking them to block the road and not let the Yizhou rout flee back to Taiyuan City.
Li Ye glanced in the northwest direction, and according to Kang Chengqian's report, he had already led the Zhaoyi Army to set up a position and wait for work on the northwest road. Li Sien took away more than 10,000 Yizhou soldiers, but there will definitely not be 1,000 people who can return to Taiyuan alive.
The scene after the official army captured Yizhou City was no different from the capture of Qinzhou, the only difference was that this time Li Ye did not let Yizhou assassinate Shi, and went to find out all the big squires in the city and let them obey the order.
Li Ye didn't do it because he didn't use it. Before the official army captured the city and Li Ye came to the Assassin's Mansion, the Yizhou Assassin was waiting at the door with local officials, family members and squire representatives.
As soon as he saw Li Ye appear, a group of people who were black and oppressive were full of flattering smiles and eagerly greeted him and saluted. Without Li Ye saying anything, they all bowed to the ground and took the initiative to shout that they were willing to be loyal to the court and obey King An's orders.
The Holy Child and the Holy Son who were accompanying him, as well as Li Ye's civilian staff, couldn't help but set their eyes on Li Ye. Rao is an unruly demon monk, and there is also awe in Li Ye's eyes.
However, looking at the Yizhou magnates kneeling in front of him, Li Ye was expressionless.
There was not the slightest surprise or joy in his eyes.
This seemed to him to be a normal scenario.
With the experience of Qinzhou, the officials of Yizhou naturally know what to do.
When he gave Qinzhou officials a chance to "reform themselves" in Qinzhou, it was to influence the hearts of the people in Hedong. In other words, if he can't get such an effect in Yizhou, then what he did in Qinzhou will be in vain.
Since it is a matter of course, Li Ye will not have any fluctuations in his heart.
He didn't say a word, walked through the crowd, and went straight into the Assassin's Mansion.
The magnates who bowed to the ground didn't hear Li Ye's "get up", so they naturally didn't dare to get up, they looked at each other, and they all saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Is King Ann going to do something to them?
Could it be that King An blamed them for not taking action early and joining forces with the officials and troops to break through the city?
After all, King An gave a letter of persuasion, which was naturally not only for the defenders, but also for the magnates in the city.
Thinking of this, many powerful people saw sweat on their foreheads and became uneasy. If King An is willing, they will immediately fall to the ground, even if the family is destroyed, it is just a matter of King An's words. After all, rebellion is a matter of the Nine Clans.
Just when everyone's backs were cold, but their hearts were as anxious as fire, Li Ye's indifferent voice came from the mansion gate: "Come in." ”
The magnates hurriedly got up and scrambled to squeeze through the door.
Seeing the pitiful posture of these magnates like lost dogs, the Pinglu soldiers on both sides of the street showed disdain. The evaluation of the Hedong generals in his heart has dropped a lot, and his confidence in winning this battle has reached a new peak.
In the political hall, Li Ye indifferently looked down at the magnates who were prostrating on the ground, his fingers slowly tapping on the tabletop, and he fell into contemplation as if no one was around.
Li Ye's attitude towards officials and generals in different states and counties in Hedong is different. Without differences, there is no direction to work towards.
He was quite accommodating to the Qinzhou generals because the war had just begun. is quite indifferent to the Yizhou magnates because the war has been going on for a while. These generals didn't do anything during the war, but after the war, they thought that if they were temporarily clinging to their feet and had a better attitude, they would be able to maintain their position of power in front of Li Ye, which was too unserious about Li Ye.
Li Ye wanted to hang them out, and let the officials and generals in Taiyuan and other prefectures and counties in Hedong know that he could give everyone a chance not to be held accountable after the war, but as the war progressed, everyone needed to take the initiative to fight for it.
When the official army attacked the new city, if the powerful people in the city wanted to save their lives after the war, they had to know their allegiance to their home and country during the war, help the official army deal with the Hedong army defending the city, and reduce the damage of the official army breaking the city.
This is also a necessary strategy to break the hearts and minds of the people in Hedong Army.
After a long time, Li Ye retracted his thoughts, looked at the motionless Yizhou magnates in the hall, and said lightly: "You are all big families in Yizhou, presumably there will be no shortage of talents in the clan, now is the time for the imperial court to recruit rebellious people, but all my Tang Dynasty monks of appropriate age have the responsibility to serve the country, what do you think?"
This is Li Ye's first sentence, where did the people who had been hanging for a long time dare to say no, and hurriedly said yes.
Li Ye nodded: "Now the Lone King Order: All monks above the realm of the Martial Sect in Yizhou should report to the army within three days." If anyone disobeys this order, it will be regarded as disrespecting the imperial court, and colluding with the thief Li Keyong will punish the nine clans!"
Everyone raised their heads in surprise, and many people had a storm in their hearts.
They didn't expect Li Ye to have such a tough attitude, and he would even ask the monks to directly enter the barracks! Those monks above the realm of the Martial Sect were the backbone of all families and clans, and if all of them were to join the army, if something happened to them, the foundations of each family would be injured.
However, when they raised their heads, they didn't even have time to speak, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they all suddenly lowered their heads, and they couldn't make any sounds.
Everyone who saw Li Ye felt that a big mountain was pressed on their shoulders, and they couldn't breathe, and they had to run all their cultivation to resist, otherwise they would immediately lie on the ground.
There are many people who are shaking all over their bodies, and they can't hold on anymore.
Li Ye took everyone's reaction in his eyes, smiled casually, and withdrew the coercion, "Since no one has any objections, then this matter is decided." It seems that you still know the big things right and wrong, and you finally didn't disappoint the lonely king too much. ”
The pressure on everyone's body was lighter, but their mood was even heavier.
They remembered very clearly that King An in front of them not only had a noble status, but also had a ridiculously high cultivation level above 10,000 people, and it was not something they could compete with at all, if the other party was willing, destroying their family would only be within a snap of a finger.
Thinking of this, everyone bowed one after another: "Obey the order of King An!"
......
The drizzle continued, and the courtyard was already waterlogged, and many flowers and leaves were scattered in the soil.
Li Cunxiao stood under the eaves, silently looking at this scene with his hands down, his face was like this rainy weather. Because the aura of depression was too strong, the original killing intent on his body was covered a lot.
"General, you've been standing here for three hours, come in and sit down. A woman with makeup came to Li Cunxiao's side and persuaded with concern.
Li Cunxiao glanced at his wife and then withdrew his gaze, without speaking or moving. The beauty woman sighed lightly, and it was not easy to persuade again, so she could only stand with Li Cunxiao.
Half an hour later, the woman really couldn't stand still, and seeing that Li Cunxiao had no intention of moving, she could only turn around and leave silently.
Li Cunxiao stood alone for a long time.
Until dusk, a small school rushed into the courtyard, and the wind generally came to Li Cunxiao, knelt down head-on, and his voice was anxious and sad: "General! Yizhou is lost!"
Li Cunxiao didn't move for a while, but after a while, his eyes straightened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then his body shook, took two steps back, and almost stood unsteadily.
"General!" the colonel was startled and hurriedly got up to help.
When Li Cunxiao stabilized his figure, his eyes were already scarlet, his fists couldn't help but clench tightly, the blue tendons on his forehead were bursting out, and the whole person seemed to be a fierce beast that chose people to devour, exuding a dangerous aura all over his body.
"I'm going to see the king!"
When Li Cunxiao came to the county king's mansion, there were already people coming and going, including civil and military generals and even the heads of the Taiyuan family.
When these people saw Li Cunxiao in a hurry, most of them stopped and looked over, but none of them took the initiative to come forward to say hello, and they all had strange eyes.
Li Cunxiao didn't understand their eyes. He had never met such a look. He felt uncomfortable, like he wasn't of their own kind with them.
After a moment, he reacted, and it was a look of doubt and repulsion.
Now in Hedong, almost no one believes in him Li Cunxiao. Even if he believed it before, after Yizhou was broken in one day, no one believed it.
Yizhou City, where two Taibao were located, was actually broken by Li Ye in one attack, which shows that Li Ye has the ability to quickly break the city.
However, when Li Cunxiao was in Yizhou, Li Ye actually chose to besiege the city and did not take the initiative to start a big war.
Isn't that an ulterior motive for Li Cunxiao?
The two have been in a stalemate for so long, and they have not worked hard, as soon as Li Cunxiao left, Li Ye filled in the ravine and began to attack the city, such an obvious abnormal move, is there really no collusion between the two?
Or is Li Cunxiao really so powerful that Li Ye doesn't even dare to fight?
This is certainly not possible.
If Li Cunxiao is so powerful, who else in the whole Hedong can compare with him? If the other Taibao don't say that they are comparable to him, they are not as good as him together, right? If he is really so powerful, if he is compared with him, won't everyone become mediocre and waste?
No one will admit that they are philistine, waste.
Li Cunxiao felt the hostility of his comrades, those generals who had been closest to him before, and the hot-blooded sons and daughters who were as loyal to Li Ke as he was, looked at him the most hateful at this moment. It was a look that wanted to do it immediately and knock him to the ground.
Li Cunxiao was at a loss and at a loss.
He has never had such an experience, he has been praised and flattered before, because he is the most courageous general in Hedong, with great military achievements, and he is a person that Li Keyong relies on very much.
And now, everything is different.
Li Cunxiao could only lower his head and walk in front of the person to ask to see Li Keyong.
Yizhou has been lost, if Fenzhou is not recovered, Li Ye will advance in two ways, and soon the army will come to the city of Taiyuan. He wanted to ask for orders to go to war to recover Fenzhou, which was captured by Liu Dazheng.
He can do it.
