By March, all military operations in Wuwei Festival Town had stopped, and the whole rule had entered the busy spring ploughing season. Almost all of the soldiers were disbanded, and with their bounties and war proceeds, they returned to their hometowns, busy farming, waiting for the next call.

Li Anmin served as the assassin of Mozhou, and Liu Chenglin led the right governor of Qianniuwei to be stationed in Mozhou, and continued to maintain strong pressure on Pingzhou. Liang Han's department is stationed in Youzhou Jicheng, Youzhou is the base camp of Lulong, and it is also the most fierce place to resist the Wuwei army, almost every household has someone who died in the hands of the Wuwei army, such hatred, I am afraid that in a short time, it can not be resolved, and Liang Han still has some connections in Youzhou, and he led the army to be stationed here, which can alleviate the contradiction between Wuwei and the locals in Youzhou to the greatest extent. But on the whole, I am afraid that for a long time, Wuwei will still focus on suppression of Youzhou.

Wanfu led his troops into Danzhou, Danzhou, and Fuzhou were forced to surrender to Wuwei, and their troops were disbanded by Wuwei's order, but the civilian group was retained by Li Ze.

Zhang Jia, who gained a lot from this battle, moved to Shuozhou, commanded thousands of Hu cavalry and tens of thousands of foot soldiers, not only eyeing Hedong, but also making Peng Fang's defense of Fengdu, which had previously intended to annex him, tremble.

The biggest change in the Wuwei Army was that Shi Zhuang's troops withdrew from Youzhou as a whole and returned to Yizhou to station, which made the once empty Wuwei Festival Town base camp Wuyi located, and the troops were unprecedentedly strong.

Chen Chang'an's thousands of armor soldiers in Cangzhou were transferred to Dizhou and belonged to Li Han's subordinates, forming a new Dizhou army, and the target of the defense was undoubtedly Hou Xiyi, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu.

Li Ze's military deployment undoubtedly conveyed a clear message to the outside world, that is, he had no intention of intervening in the current chaotic Zhaoyi situation, but wanted to devote himself to managing the existing territory.

Although Xue Wei of Zhaoyi was a little disappointed, but at this time, his alliance with Yang Zhihe, in the civil war of Zhaoyi, had the upper hand, at the end of March, they finally captured Zhouzhou, and Xue Jian, the assassin of Zhaozhou, fled to Beizhou with his henchmen in embarrassment. At this time of the Zhaoyi Civil War, Xue Wei had already occupied an absolute advantage, and Weizhou (Zhaoyi) Xue Xiong was far isolated on the other side, although he tried hard to attack Xue Wei's lair to relieve the pressure on Xue Xiong and Pei Zhiqing, but Xue Wei's strategic goal was very clear, that is, to attack Xue Jian and Pei Zhiqing first, take Xuzhou and Beizhou, and then turn back and clean up the isolated Xue Xiong.

At the beginning of April, what Li Ze had been fearing finally happened. Xue Jian, who had no way out, Xue Xiong surrendered directly to Wei Bojiedu to make Tian Chengsi, Tian Chengsi and his son Tian Ping led 10,000 elites into Beizhou, and Xue Jian and Pei Zhiqing allied forces, defeated Xue Wei's department in Beizhou, and his nephew Tian Yue led another 10,000 elites into Weizhou, and joined forces with Xue Xiong.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Zhihe immediately shrank his forces and fled back to Xingzhou, while Xue Wei was a little miserable, and his main force tried to fight with Xue Xiong in Luzhou and recapture Luzhou, but he was defeated again, and finally only took more than 100 personal soldiers to break out of the encirclement and fled to Chang'an in one breath.

At this time, the entire Zhaoyi had actually fallen into the hands of Tian Chenghe, the envoy of Wei Bojiedu, Tian Chengsi still took Xue Jian as the assassin of Zhuozhou, Pei Zhiqing as the assassin of Beizhou, Xue Xiong as the assassin of Weizhou, and the new Xue Chong as the assassin of Luzhou, and at the same time, Xue Jian and Pei Zhiqing joined forces, with Tian Ping as the overseer, and launched a fierce attack on Yang Zhihe of Xingzhou.

Under the precarious situation of Yang Zhihe, Xue Ping finally couldn't bear this result, and ordered the thousands of Shence troops stationed in Nangong to take Cheng Xu as the general, and the whole army left Nangong County and entered Xingzhou to aid Yang Zhihe.

After Cheng Xusuo led 5,000 Shence troops into Xingzhou, he finally barely stabilized the situation, and the two sides fought in Xingzhou repeatedly, and for a while, it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

"Isn't the marshal always boasting that he is loyal to the court, although my uncle is very selfish, he is still loyal to the court and has no ambitions." Xue Ping, who ran back to Wuyi from Yingzhou in one go, looked angrily at Li Ze, who was holding his trouser legs and holding the pear plough. Spring ploughing began in an all-round way under the rule of Wuwei Jie Town, except for the necessary operational needs of the government, all the rest of the people were assigned tasks to help spring ploughing in various places, Li Ze as a festival marshal, naturally to lead by example, now he is farming for a family, this family is a Wuyi veteran, lost a leg in the war, had to retire, Li Zefu ploughed and drove oxen to plow, and the veteran was excited with a crutch, with a basket hanging on his chest, and sprinkled the seeds inside in the land that Li Ze had ploughed.

"Brother Xue, don't be bored!" Looking at Xue Ping, who was sweating profusely and covered in dust, Li Ze stopped with a smile, motioned to the veteran to take a rest, and walked to the ridge, sat on the ridge, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, and motioned for Xue Ping to sit down as well.

"Jieshuai, Zhaoyi is in danger at this moment, once the criminal state also falls, and we have no place in Zhaoyi, after Wei Bo controls Zhaoyi, it will inevitably cut off all our ties with Chang'an Luoyang, and at that time, we will be alone, you, are you still in the mood to do this here? Even if you want to be close to the people, now is not the time! ”

"I'm not pretending!" Li Ze spread his hands: "The plan of the year lies in the spring, you bully the land for a while, and the land bully you for a year, brother, spring ploughing is not well grasped, after autumn, what do you let Wuwei eat?" The more we are in this situation, the more we have to base ourselves on ourselves. ”

"Jieshuai, stabilize Zhaoyi, we will have a smooth road to communicate with Chang'an Luoyang, and we will be able to get an endless supply of food from the south." Xue Ping said with red eyes: "Shi Zhuang's department is now repairing in Yizhou, as long as the commander gives an order, these 20,000 troops will enter Zhaoyi, and Wei Bo will be defeated in an instant." ”

"How can you say it so easily!" Li Ze shook his head and said, "Brother Xue, don't forget, Wei Bo can directly attack my Wuyi at any time, and the reason why I transferred Shi Zhuang back is to prevent this move." Once Shi Zhuang enters the Zhaoyi region and Wei Bo attacks, are you going to let me take Wei Yi to fight in person? ”

Xue Ping was dumbfounded.

"Brother Xue, my Wuwei has been fighting for a whole year last year to the beginning of March this year, and you are also a person who is familiar with military books, have you ever seen how much fighting spirit an army can have after such a long battle? Now that everyone's hearts in the army have relaxed, and everyone's thoughts are on their own land, at this time, forcibly going out to fight, not to mention that our Wuwei cannot support a continuous and long battle, even the logistics cannot support it. ”

"Just need to win quickly......" Xue Ping was a little lacking in confidence.

"How do you win a quick game?" Li Ze shook his head and said: "Tian Chenghe's Wei Bobing has always been good at fighting, and its elite degree is not inferior to Lu Long's soldiers. Once we are dragged into a long-term battle, for us, we will suffer a big loss, don't forget, Zhang Zhongwu, Deng Jingshan also gathered a large army in Pingzhou! ”

Looking at Xue Ping, who looked gloomy, Li Ze continued: "I fight, either I don't fight, or I will strike a thunderous blow, like now, obviously my strength is not enough to launch a war of annihilation, but I still have to fight reluctantly, I will never do it, and if I win, it will be a miserable victory, once I lose, it will be a complete loss, and even the previous victory will be buried." ”

"Just look at Zhaoyi gone? Without Zhaoyi, Wuwei's future life will not be easy! Xue Ping said.

"Cheng Xu led the army into Xingzhou, and Yang Zhihe can hold on for a long time." Li Ze smiled slightly: "Tian Chengsi has now made up his mind to let Pei Zhiqing Xue Xiong merge with Yang Zhihe and Cheng Xuhuo, you can understand if Tian Ping's troops don't move." Under the condition that Xue Xiong and Pei Zhiqing's strength still exists, Tian Bu will not beat Yang Zhihe to death with a stick. And all we can do is to provide Cheng Xu with enough ordnance, food and grass. Although we can't dispatch a large army, we can still do it if we know Cheng Xu and Yang Zhihe. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ze smiled and said: "You might as well tell Yang Zhihe, as long as he can persevere, my Wuwei will never watch him perish, even if he loses and escapes to my Wuyi, I can give him a place." ”

"Is that all?"

"Brother Xue, instead of begging me here, it is better to go to Chang'an." Li Ze stood up with a smile and picked up the ploughshare again: "Chang'an still has 200,000 Shence troops, Chen Bangzhao and Qin Zhao are also promising generals, and there are 50,000 Shence troops under the command of King Fu of Luoyang, and there are even sailors, if they can make a move, they may be able to save the battle." By the way, there is also Hedong Han Qi, I ordered him not to move, but Chang'an may be able to make him bow down and obey his orders. Hedong has grown a lot in strength over the past year or so, if they can enter Zhaoyi, Tian Chengsi has to pay attention to it, after all, Han Qi and Li Cunzhong's subordinates are all veterans led by Gao Shuai. ”

Xue Ping took a long breath and muttered: "Yes, but if you want Han Qi to send troops, I'm afraid that I will have to give him the title of Hedong Jiedu Envoy, but you strongly oppose it, and Your Majesty can't get rid of your intentions, so you can only drag it like this." ”

"If Han Qi can send troops to Zhaoyi, I have no objection to him being the envoy of this Hedong Festival." Li Ze laughed so hard that his eyes were bent into a slit.

Xue Ping naturally knew that Li Ze's suggestion was ill-intentioned, Han Qi refused to follow Li Ze's orders, Li Ze was only afraid that he had already held a grudge against him, and constantly asked Zhang Jia to expand the army, and forced Han Qi to give up Shuozhou, all of which were Li Ze's malice towards Hedong, in this case, Han Qi's willingness to send troops to Zhaoyi is really unknown.

But no matter what, it's always a try.
