Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

A lot of things have been done, but they are not useful, but it is impossible not to do them. The main force of Guo Shaosui's army crossed the Juma River all the way to Yizhou, and there was no more fighting; the careful deployment and defense of the army's infantry and cavalry did not play any role.

Crossing the Juma River is the territory of Dazhou, and people's mood gradually relaxes. If it were in Youzhou, even if there was no war, the monarch and his ministers would not be relieved, because there was a sense of crisis.

The army set up camp and set up camp according to order for the night.

Guo Shao did not appear in public, but only asked Wang Pu, Zuo You and others to meet. His cold is still not healed.

Zuo You said, "I think we should leave an elite army in Yizhou to prevent the Liao army from attacking and disturbing us."

Guo Shao didn't respond for a moment. Holding the copper lampstand in his left hand, he looked all the way down according to the location of Yizhou on the map, and put his finger on the location of Yunzhou (southeast of Daming Mansion); then he raised the lamp and observed it for a while.

"It is necessary to keep a section of the imperial army in Hebei, but not in Yizhou. It is best here..." Guo Shao tapped on the map with his finger, "Dezhou."

Zuo You stretched his neck and watched silently.

Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty is to defend Yunzhou (Li Yun)?"

Guo Shao didn't deny it, and said thoughtfully: "For a strong fortress, the problem often comes from the inside. There is no need to station soldiers in Yizhou, because the current problem of Liao Kingdom does not come from the strength of the Zhou Dynasty."

Wang Pu murmured, "I'm afraid there will indeed be storms when we return from the retreat."

Guo Shao looked at the lights on the map. On a certain night before, he looked at the flames on the lights in the same way with a sad and depressed mood. The internal challenges had been carefully considered when the decision was made that night.

At this time, his expression was completely different, and he said calmly: "Li Yun is too ambitious, but not capable enough, so there is nothing to worry about."

...

Tianpingjie Town, Yunzhou is located in the north of Liangshanbo. Li Yun is now serving as Jiedu envoy here. Compared with the important task of defending against the Northern Han Dynasty in Luzhou before, he is now of little use here.

At that time, the Great Zhou court ordered him to move the town, on the condition that he was allowed to take away the main force of the soldiers of the Zhaoyi Army. There are pros and cons between the imperial court and Jiezhen. As a result of the game compromise, Li Yun came to Hebei honestly.

As a warlord, Li Yun is very aware of his situation. The imperial court definitely didn't trust him, so he worked hard to get him to move the town; he was also unwilling to hand over his military power, because that was his status capital.

If the imperial court wanted to destroy him directly, he would have to waste his life and money for nothing, and it would also cause panic among warlords in other places; if he wanted to rebel, he would easily fail. Up and down is only a temporary compromise, both sides are waiting for a thorough solution.

At this time, he was walking up and down in the main room, very anxious.

Standing next to them were two civil servants. One of them is an old man with a fairy-tale demeanor, named Zhongli, who is good at divination. He is good at all kinds of divination and has a great reputation.

Zhongli had tried to dissuade Li Yun from joining forces before, but the reason was that the timing was not good.

Li Yun's eldest son also persuaded him, arguing that he should give up his military power in exchange for glory and wealth from the court...Because before that, the court had shown signs of continuously weakening him. He moved the town away from his foundation, and occasionally transferred his generals in the name of promotion, taking back the power of Jiedu envoys to interfere with local officials; I heard a message in a private letter that the court wanted to set up a transfer envoy to take back the financial power of Jiezhen.

At that time, Guo Shao's martial arts prestige was in full swing, Li Yun had no room to resist at all, and had negative thoughts.

But now, he smelled another chance.

An aide said: "It is reported that the Northern Expedition of the Forbidden Army was attacked by the Liao army's iron cavalry, and suffered heavy losses. The emperor's two sworn brothers were all killed. Now they are defeated and returned to the country, and people are panicked."

Li Yun said: "How many troops did the imperial army lose?"

The aide said: "No matter how much the loss is, the morale of the imperial army must be low and the troops are exhausted. Today, the country itself has usurped the throne and gained power by force. Now it is defeated, and the hearts of the people are not there."

Li Yun thought to himself: It seems that Guo Tiejiang is not as godly as the rumors say, after all, when I was fighting, he was still breastfeeding!

But Li Yun didn't say anything inappropriate in front of his staff.

Li Yun turned to look at Zhongli: "Why doesn't Mr. Zhong speak?"

Zhongli said: "Wait for the old man to have a divination."

Seeing Li Yun's hesitation, another staff member persuaded him, "With the current situation, there are very few opportunities. My lord, I can't afford it at this time, and I regret that I missed this opportunity!"

Li Yun said: "The place we moved to is not good."

But the staff said anxiously: "The imperial court has long been wary of the lord. Once the lord is deprived of military power, be careful not to settle accounts after the autumn. If you want to be rich and peaceful, you will not be able to!"

Li Yun didn't say anything, but this was exactly what he was worried about. In the past when the world was chaotic, he always had the feeling that it was his turn, but the people on that chair in Tokyo came and went, and nothing happened. In the end, he couldn't even protect himself. Li Yun was very depressed during this time in Yunzhou!

Now this situation, he is very tempted. But still calmly said: "The place is not good, and the troops are not enough."

The staff said: "If my lord wants to fight a country with a city, I will hit a stone with an egg. Before that, we were diving in the abyss, which is why. Now it is not the time to be alone, so we have to contact our allies and join forces. If we can't control the situation today, the world will be full of wind and clouds! When the general situation changes, the lord will try to stand out."

Li Yun looked at the staff with encouraging eyes.

The aide said: "The only real supporters of the imperial court in Tokyo are the Forbidden Army and King Fu Yanqing of Wei in Hebei. Many places are not reliable; and now that the Forbidden Army has been defeated at the beginning, and the King of Wei is old... God help the lord! The greatest opportunity is the old land of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty) in Hedong. At this time, we can first try to persuade Yang Ye to rise."

Li Yun felt a little interesting after hearing this.

The staff continued: "Yang Ye is in charge of tens of thousands of troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Xin and Dai are all in his hands. He controls Yanmen, Xinkou, Shiling Pass and other passes, except for Jinyang City. Once the world changes, Yang Ye can regain the land of Hedong, and he will be the master. Why not separate one side and compete for the Central Plains?"

Li Yun nodded subconsciously, and said in his heart: If I had Yang Ye's capital, I would have raised my army a long time ago!

The staff said in a deep voice: "Yang Ye's wife, Zhe Saihua, is the daughter of Zhe Dejian, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu. Yang Zhe's family is a family friend, and they are married. Once Yang Ye cavalry, the Northwest Zhe family and other ministries will rebel, and the Central Plains will fight all over the world. The general situation has changed!

In addition, Shu Kingdom, Jiangnan and other places have returned not long ago, and the general situation has changed. As long as someone climbs up and shouts, how reliable is it? "

Li Yun's eyes brightened, and his face turned red from the blood. He pondered for a moment, but said: "I read the books of sages, but I don't understand the meaning."

The staff was stunned, and said in shame: "I am ashamed of my lowly position."
