Pinglu is being attacked by Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen has the support of the Daomen, so Pinglu's situation is not good, once Pinglu is lost, Li Ye's power will be greatly damaged, and his prestige will also plummet. After all, Li Ye has never encountered such a big failure since his debut.

And if Zhu Wen rises and follows Li Ye's people, they will have to consider retreating.

But that is a matter of the future, and at the moment, Kang Chengqian and others have no way to refuse Li Ye. Besides, if Zhu Wen really replaced Li Ye and became the overlord of the Central Plains and the north, wouldn't they have to bow down?

What is the difference between taking refuge in Zhu Wen and taking refuge in Li Ye.

In fact, Kang Chengqian and others know that even if Li Ye loses Pinglu, there are still two towns of Hedong and Weibo, and their power is still huge, coupled with their personal cultivation strength, at least they can't afford to provoke it.

There are many opportunities in troubled times, and everyone has the possibility of success, but there is not only one way to the end. Some people take advantage of the situation to stand up on their own, but there are also people who need to follow others to fight. To make a career and be prosperous and rich, you don't necessarily have to start your own business.

As for whether the minister will become a king as the situation changes, don't you have to wait for the time to come?

Pinglu is experiencing a big war, but what Li Ye is thinking about now is to strike while the iron is hot, and completely control Zhaoyi, Tianping, and Henghai in his hands by subduing Chengde, Yiwu, and Lu Long. This also means that he may have to fight on two fronts.

Fortunately, his cultivation is good, and there is no shortage of high-level combat power among the monks around him, so he can take the monk group to Qingzhou today to preside over the situation, and then go back to Hedong tomorrow to see the situation, as long as both places have great talents who can command the three armies and take charge alone.

Li Ye has been developing for so many years, not to mention that there are many talents, but there will indeed be no shortage of talents.

Although it is quite tiring in this way, the territory is large, so it is not good.

Li Ye felt the troubles of happiness.

Li Ye planned to let the soldiers and horses of the four towns in Hedong recuperate for a period of time, and then set off after recuperating their strength.

What is the situation in Chengde, Yiwu, Lulong and other towns, Li Ye needs to go and see first, and he can't just send troops to fight without saying a word.

Recently, there was an incident that made Li Ye quite puzzled, since Zhang Ji was killed last time, He Jingcheng never came to trouble him again, which made Li Ye's arrangements for dealing with the assassination unable to be used for a long time.

It seems that He Jingcheng has already been thinking about following Zhu Wen as a guard, and this trend makes Li Ye not know what to say. Although he was not afraid of He Jingcheng, he was not sure of winning the other party before achieving the immortal realm.

Moreover, the monk group brought by He Jingcheng is stronger than the seventy-two earth demons, and it stands to reason that they should attack with thunder and not give Li Ye a chance to digest Hedong.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Li Ye feels that this matter cannot be taken lightly.

Not long after sending Kang Chengqian and the others away, Song Jiao brought a Qingzhou battle report.

Because it was the intelligence of the Tsing Yi Yamen, Cui Keli's conversation with Zhang Zhongsheng in the city that day was also basically recorded in the intelligence.

Li Ye looked at the information in his hand for a while, and was silent for a long time.

He had doubted Cui Keli's position before, and the reason why he didn't let Red Boy and others go back directly to put him under house arrest was because this suspicion was not very strong, and he also wanted to take a look at the layout of Confucianism.

Now it seems that Confucianism did not mean to choose him, but Cui Keli's loyalty can be basically confirmed.

Of course, this is a normal phenomenon, and it is not uncommon for the same family to be the master of the same family. There are tens of millions of Confucian disciples, even if the main body and authority represented by Wang Zaifeng and other four sages choose one of the princes, the other disciples may not all follow.

Not only Confucianism, but also soldiers and Taoism. Now there are many generals under Li Ye's command, and the Quanzhen Concept established by Wei Xiaozhuang is also growing day by day.

In the final analysis, different personal experiences determine different choices.

Li Ye unconsciously chewed Cui Keli's words, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: In this life, he does not seek to prove the avenue, but to die to the avenue.

Throughout the ages, there have always been many scholars, on the occasion of study tours, when living in the humble room with white hair, with a variety of different moods, issued an eternal question: What is the matter of our generation of scholars, reading the books of the sages, and being taught by the sages?

Trekley's words seem to be the answer.

"The Xuanwu army has begun to attack the city, and the battle in Qingzhou is fierce, do you want to go back?" Song Jiao took the initiative to ask when she saw that Li Ye was silent.

Li Ye didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Where is Shangguan Allure?"

Song Jiao replied: "I will be able to reach Qingzhou in a few days." ”

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "With Shangguan Allure and Cui Keli in Qingzhou, and cooperating with the demon clan monks, it is not difficult to hold the Xuanwu Army for a while. ”

Song Jiao frowned: "Are you really not going back?"

Li Ye smiled: "Now that I control the three towns, there are several enemies, and the situation I will face in the future will only be more complicated. Qingzhou has Cui Keli to unite the people's hearts, and Shangguan Allure can fight on the battlefield, and the situation is already very good. And both of them are my right-hand men, and it's time to hone them and let them grow. ”

Song Jiao said coldly: "What if they are defeated?"

Li Ye folded the information and put it away, and a sharp glint flashed under his eyes,

His voice also became extremely cold at this moment: "I need to clearly distinguish the potential of the generals under my command. The battle of Qingzhou was both a challenge for them and an opportunity for them. If they grasp it, they will be able to do great things in the future, and if they can't, I can be sure that they will not be of great use. ”

Song Jiao opened her cherry mouth slightly, speechless for a while.

Of course, she knew that if the battle situation in Qingzhou was unfavorable, Cui Keli and Shangguan Chengcheng might die.

These two people, one is Li Ye's uncle, and the other is his closest confidant, and now he can let them go through the test of life and death.

However, isn't this a choice that the Lord has to make?

After a while, Song Jiao asked quietly, "Are you gambling again?"

Li Ye smiled: "I'm not a gambler, why don't I like gambling so much." The last time I bet on Cui Keli's loyalty, it was also because I was somewhat sure. This battle of Qingzhou is related to the ownership of Pinglu and the overall situation, and there is no room for error. If the war situation is really unfavorable, it will not be too late for me to go back. ”

Song Jiao showed her signature charming smile: "I know you have a slippery head!"

In the face of such coquettish accusations, Li Ye could only express his powerlessness.

He suddenly remembered something: "You are also a disciple of Bailu Cave, you should have made great achievements in the troubled times, but now you are only in charge of a Tsing Yi Yamen, is it overkill?"

Song Jiao glanced at him: "What do you want me to do?"

Li Ye said tentatively: "Why don't you govern a feudal town first?"

Song Jiao laughed, turned around cleanly, twisted her sexy waist and walked with lazy steps: "Do you want to toss me?" The old lady was very lazy. ”

Li Ye was speechless.

There is no one who can say that he is lazy and still be so upright and proud.

......

In Chengde Zhenzhou, on a winding mountain road, several men and women are climbing up.

This group of people looks very weird, not in fancy clothes, but in a very uncommon temperament.

The man at the front was dressed in a shirt, obviously only in his early thirties, but his eyebrows were full of old-fashioned stereotypes, even if he walked on the mountain road, the spacing of his steps was the same every time, and he was as steady as a court official.

The woman behind her was very young, although her appearance was average, but her eyebrows were low, gentle and demure, even if she was dressed in brocade and jade, her posture was like a slave.

"When Li Ye sent troops to Hedong, you all thought that this war would last for a long time, so you wanted to take advantage of the time when the other party couldn't pull away and couldn't control the military and political affairs of Shandong for the imperial court, stirring up the wind and waves in the world and supporting the princes to become powerful. Unexpectedly, in just ten months, all the eleven states in Hedong fell into his hands, and even Li Keyong was beheaded by him. It's good that your plan hasn't had time to be realized, and now that he's freeing his hands, aren't you all trembling with fear?"

It was a sturdy man who walked at the back, although his figure was not very burly, but he had a fierce aura, like a fierce general crawling out of a pile of dead people, and the killing aura was so thick that it was impossible to look him in the eyes.

When he said this, he made no secret of his sarcasm. When a strong man is straightforward in his words and deeds, it will not make people feel friendly, but will make people feel that he is domineering.

After he said this, the young woman frowned slightly, and her face showed displeasure. But she didn't speak, just looked at the Confucian in front of her, hoping that the other party would fight back against the other party's ridicule.

Confucian Sheng did not look back, and his voice was not salty or light: "The king of the Tang Dynasty lost his morality and fell into the world in fire and water, so the beacon fires continued, the civil strife was endless, and the border troubles were frequent. At this moment, supporting Mingjun to win the world, clear the world, and protect the territory and the people is the expectation of the people, the will of the people, and the trend of the times. It will not change because of a certain person, who will disturb the situation for a while. ”

Compared with the strong man, Confucianism's words are righteous and awe-inspiring, and full of reasonable and unquestionable meaning.

The sturdy man sneered: "They are all people who want to seize the Tang Dynasty, but you Confucian students, but you can open your mouth and close your mouth about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and say that you are like a saint, as if everything you do is doing the right thing for heaven." If you really want to be so benevolent, what are you going to do in Chengde this time?"

Confucius chuckled lightly and did not answer, as if he disdained to argue with the other party.

The person walking in the middle, dressed in a Taoist robe, with crane hair and a child's hair, with a dusty temperament in his arms, has always been out of the way in the face of the controversy between Confucianism and the soldiers.

At this moment, he said with a smile: "It is said that the three towns of Hebei have always been strong and strong, and now that Wei Bo is no longer there, I hope that the scene of Chengde and Lulong will not disappoint us too much." ”

The soldier man said contemptuously: "An army without soldiers and generals also has the capital to compete for power in troubled times?"

As he spoke, he even began to taunt the Taoist again: "Your Daomen has always regarded yourself very highly, and you consciously embraced the superior people of the Immortal Court, and you were not beaten like a pig's head by Li Ye? Now you nominally support Zhu Wen, but you haven't even pacified the Central Plains Domain, and you have to attack Pinglu on the surface, but you want to secretly run to Chengdu to make trouble." What is the difference between you arrogant and sinister thieves and rotten Confucians who are full of moral articles?"

Behind the old Dao was a young Daoist, and when he heard this, he immediately turned his head and glared angrily at the soldier man, and his right hand was even more on the hilt of the sword.

The soldier man didn't bother to look at him and ignored him directly.

Lao Dao said with a smile: "Within ten months, the Central Plains will be all returned to Xuanwu, you just wait and see." As for your soldiers, in the final analysis, you dare to show off your might in Guanzhong, in front of a court that is about to collapse. Do you dare to go to the Central Plains and confront my Daomen head-on?"

In the face of the ridicule of the old Taoist saying that the soldier bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and is opportunistic, the soldier man sneered: "The soldier wants to fight with you, but I am afraid that I will not have this opportunity." If it is Li Ye who occupies the Central Plains in the end, what else is the matter with your Daomen?"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't like anyone, and they mocked each other all the way to the top of the mountain, and it was quite rare that they didn't fight halfway.

There is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

There are people in front of the Taoist temple to greet them.

The person at the head, Chengde Festival made Wang Jingchong.
