Chapter 250: Tempting Each Other
In Chenjiazhuang, a hundred miles away from Yanzhou, the Lingzhou army set aside the straight road, went around the Great Wall, and stuck to the abandoned city wall, once again speeding up the march.
Li Zhongyi stood on a beacon tower, looking into the depths of the prairie in the distance, with an extraordinarily focused expression.
"Yun Fang, your construction is remarkable, I like it very much." Li Zhongyi turned his head to look at Mo Jixun, who took the initiative to take a detour, and said meaningfully, "You know the customs of the party members better than me." ā
Mo Jixun lowered his head, there was no squeak, but his heart was slammed, could it be that Li Zhongyi had already noticed his true identity?
"Alas, the land of the Thousand Miles Hetao is enough to feed 200,000 armor soldiers, but it's a pity." Li Zhongyi has long known the details of the Fuzhou family, so he deliberately stimulated Mo Jixun with words, "If the Tuoba family unifies the Hetao, it will definitely become a big problem for my China." ā
Mo Jixun always felt that Li Zhongyi should mean something, but Li Zhongyi said it very vaguely, which made him a little uncertain.
Mo Jixun's heart is very clear, once the eight departments of the party unify the entire Hetao, the brunt of it must be the Fuzhou family, followed by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even if Fuzhou has elite soldiers to deter the Quartet, because of the congenital disadvantage of being narrow and sparsely populated, it has forced the Zhejia family into a dilemma that they cannot afford to lose.
Among the enemies in Fuzhou, the first place was not the powerful Khitans, but the eight party departments with tens of thousands of troops, especially the current patriarch of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Yiyin, the king of Xiping.
Tuoba Yiyin's elder brother Tuoba Yi coveted the territory of Fuzhou back then. Raise eight troops to attack the folded family.
As a result, Tuoba Yi not only did not get a profit. Instead, he was broken by the head of this generation of the Fold family, and an arrow was shot in the chest.
Zhi Congruan was also angry at that time, and kept chasing and killing. Tuoba Yi was desperately protected by his generals, although he was defeated and returned to Xiazhou, but because he delayed the best time to treat his injuries, he delayed between beds for four months, and finally did not survive.
Several sons of Tuoba Yi. It was still very young at the time, so, on his deathbed. Tuoba Yi wisely passed on the throne to his younger brother - Tuoba Yi Yin.
Since then, Tuoba Yi Yin has become the most vicious enemy of the Fuzhou family.
It is also interesting to say that Tuoba Yi Yin used cavalry very much. But he is not good at siege. Every time, after a long time of soldiers in Fuzhou City, they returned in vain.
With the elite force of the Fold family, if you only deal with Tuoba Yiyin, although it is a little difficult, you can barely cope with it.
The problem is that Tuoba Yi Yin is indeed a very cerebral guy. Starting from the Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Han dynasties, and all the way to the four Central Plains dynasties of the Later Zhou, Tuoba Yi Yin adopted an unusually humble attitude on the surface. He always paid tribute to him at the first time and received great rewards.
If it weren't for Li Zhongyi's reminder. Chai Rong's strategic focus has always been on the Khitans in the north, and he has not paid too much attention to Tuoba Yiyin.
In the early years of Xiande, Chai Rong just named Tuoba Yi Yin as the king of Xiping, rewarded some things, and put them aside.
The distance between Da Zhou and Zhou is too far, and the Zhe family actually didn't care too much about it, and they couldn't count on it. But the problem, Tuoba Yi Yin, this kid is too good at diplomatic relations, he has contacted the Khitans north of Fuzhou, and the Liu family of the Northern Han Dynasty east of Fuzhou, and formed an iron triangle military alliance by the way.
As a result, the strategic shape of Fuzhou deteriorated sharply almost overnight.
Almost every autumn, Fuzhou Folded Family has to face the crazy attack of the tripartite coalition at the same time, and gradually there is a decline that cannot be supported.
Xie Jinlong is a greedy but weak guard, and Mo Jixun tried all his tricks to persuade Xie Jinlong to form an alliance with the Zhi family.
Mo Jixun didn't show any urgency on the surface, his heart has been turning over the river and the sea, and in the face of Li Zhongyi's temptation, he also wants to know Li Zhongyi's true attitude towards the folding family.
"Dashuai, the Liu family entrenched in Jinyang, colluding with Khitan and Tuoba Yiyin, can be said to be the biggest rival of my Great Zhou." Mo Jixun said it more tactfully, only highlighting the mortal enmity between Guo Zhou and Liu Han, but hiding the fundamental interests of the Fuzhou family very deeply.
Li Zhongyi deliberately shook his head and sighed and said: "The collusion between Liu Han and the Khitans is too deep, and it is difficult for the imperial court to do it." As for the fact that King Xiping has always been very deferential to the court, how can he say that he is a mortal enemy? ā
cough, what Li Zhongyi said is not wrong at all, Tuoba Yi Yin has always been worried about the reward of the Great Zhou, although he has been eroding the territory of the Great Zhou in private, but on the surface, he seems to have an unusually correct attitude, and he keeps saying that he wants to serve the Great Zhou as the Central Plains.
Mo Jixun heard that Li Zhongyi had a vague good impression of the Tuoba family, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly retorted: "The handsome man doesn't know, this Tuoba Yi Yin has always had great ambitions, and he has always regarded himself as a great white kingdom in private, and his heart of disobedience has been revealed. ā
Li Zhongyi put his hands behind his back, looked at the grassland in the distance with his eyes, but nodded secretly in his heart, although Mo Jixun was selfish, he was right.
According to the original history, the descendants of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Yuanhao did find the right time to establish the Great White Kingdom, and the country name was Xia.
The establishment of the Western Xia gave the Northern Song Dynasty a blow to the head, and the Central Plains Dynasty lost its horse source and fell into the strategic dilemma of being attacked on both sides.
It's just that Li Zhongyi has other ideas, so naturally it is impossible for Mo Jixun to fool him, he smiled faintly and said: "I have a million big Zhou, a million people, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, why am I afraid of the small party eight departments?" ā
"Besides, today's Lingzhou is already strong and strong, hum, I forgive the party members, and I don't dare to touch my tiger beard of the Great Zhou." Li Zhongyi noticed that Mo Jixun's complexion had changed, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, Xiao Young, how old are you, and you dare to play tricks in front of Ben Shuai?
"Dashuai, if my Great Zhou soldiers attack Liu Han, Tuoba Yi Yin will inevitably secretly help the Liu family in Jinyang." As soon as Mo Jixun's eyes rolled, he immediately took it into account, and immediately stood on the position of the Great Zhou, trying to persuade Li Zhongyi to launch a general attack on the Eighth Department of the Party or the Liu Han regime entrenched in Jinyang as soon as possible.
The folded family in Fuzhou has long been tossed enough by the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies on three sides. Even if the Great Zhou court was too lazy to pay attention to Tuoba Yi Yin and destroyed Liu Han's small court first, it could greatly reduce the strategic pressure on the Zhe family.
It's just that Mo Jixun has calculated everything, but he didn't expect that Li Zhongyi and Li Dashuai can be described as looking at the situation of the folded family in the palm of their hands, and they are clear about the fire.
Li Zhongyi deliberately shook his head and sighed and said: "It's difficult, due to the containment of the Khitans, I'm afraid that the imperial court will be difficult to attack Liu Han within ten years." ā
He thought to himself, if you don't kill you, then you will really mess up the officialdom for so many years.
Mo Jixun saw that Li Zhongyi revealed such a big secret of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, and his vest immediately cooled, and the Zhi family was in the dilemma of being enemies on three sides, I am afraid it would be difficult to support it for another ten years.
After a dark wind and sand blew, Li Zhongyi walked down the old Great Wall surrounded by tooth soldiers.
Li Zhongyi spat several mouthfuls of saliva as he walked, but the fine sand in his mouth couldn't be spit clean.
cough, once this great desert is mighty, it is not far behind the sandstorm that swept the imperial capital of later generations.
Li Zhongyi has lived in the imperial capital since he was a child, and has seen many sandstorms, with yellow sand flying all over the sky, and he can't see his fingers.
The sandstorm that swept through the army just now came overwhelmingly, threatening to swallow people completely.
The local Shuofang New Army soldiers, it is good to say, they have all seen the magic of sandstorms, but they have suffered the brothers of the Laohechi Township Army from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
How could the Laohechi Township Army have ever seen such a huge sandstorm? They were all dusted up, coughing, spitting, vomiting, one after another.
If it weren't for the harsh military discipline constraints of the bone marrow, I'm afraid that the Hechi Township Army would have been in chaos at this time.
The climate change close to the desert is not at all certain, just now it was a violent wind and sand, and the next moment, it turned into a good weather with bright sunshine.
Li Zhongyi rode onto his horse and looked at his team with the help of bright light. When he appeared, although the Laohechi Township Army was embarrassed, they still maintained a basic formation.
"Marshal, we miscalculated, if you enter the desert next time you march, you must prepare a wet cloth in advance." Zuo Ziguang rode to Li Zhongyi's side and loudly raised Jian Yiyi.
Mo Jixun stared at Li Zhongyi's face, Zuo Ziguang's behavior of proposing Jian yƬ in public was simply unimaginable in the Jingnan Army.
Li Zhongyi looked up at the clear blue sky, sighed, and said, "Thousands of calculations, I still missed this article, Jiang Ming, you write it down, go back and make up for it." ā
Zuo Ziguang said again: "The last general will also build yƬ, and the army will be dispatched in the future, and they will all bring double water bladders and large face towels." ā
"That's right, that's exactly how it should be." Li Zhongyi's attitude of being kind and flowing surprised Mo Jixun.
During the training on weekdays, Mo Jixun is now available, and the soldiers can give their opinions to the officers when they are commenting, and they have already felt extremely surprised.
Now, Li Zhongyi, the supreme ruler of Lingzhou, has actually adopted the opinions of his subordinates in public, and a few words suddenly appeared in Mo Jixun's heart: Death for a confidant!
Commanding a large army, generous treatment and strict military discipline are important, but the most difficult thing is that the top and bottom have the same desire!
As the old saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch!
It is precisely because of Li Zhongyi's open-minded attitude and broad mind that Mo Jixun, that is, Zhe Yukou, saw the hidden vitality of Shuofang's new army!
Three days later, in the middle of the night, Shuofang's new army traveled day and night and rushed to Lijiazhuang, thirty miles outside Yanzhou.
There are ruins and broken walls everywhere in Lijiazhuang, traces of fire can be seen everywhere, and there are corpses almost everywhere inside and outside the house.
After a simple cleanup, Guo Huai reported to Li Zhongyi: "Dashuai, the entire Zhuangzi has been looted, and the corpses are everywhere, but the young woman has not seen a single one. ā
Li Zhongyi sighed and said: "Robbing all the food, killing all the strong men, and taking away the women, this is the ...... of war" (to be continued!)
