With Gao Che, the sworn enemy, behind his back, and the internal affairs are not monolithic, there are turbulences from time to time. Therefore, Rouran is in trouble both internally and externally, where can he find the energy to seek revenge?
Moreover, this time Dou Ling was the first to invade the south without permission, and Rouran was the first to make a mistake...
Dou Ling colluded with the general Lu Yan and invaded the border area. This move by Dou Ling was a big deception for the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. If it were during the period of Emperor Taiwu, he would definitely mobilize all his troops to launch the tenth Northern Expedition.
Just destroying the Du Lun tribe doesn't matter. In all likelihood, they will attack Mobei and force Rouran to move the capital again.
Unfortunately, just like a pair of brothers in distress, the Wei Dynasty was not only passing on the throne and establishing its power, but also faced civil strife and national disaster.
Therefore, no one can spare any money, and the most they can do is hand over credentials and talk.
It was also for this reason that Dou Ling took advantage of every opportunity and decided that Yuan and Wei could only eat Huanglian as a mute, unable to tell the story of their sufferings, so he thought it would be a good idea to grab a handful, otherwise where would he have the courage?
But Li Chengzhi is still under great pressure.
As long as Rouran's credential mentions the West Sea or the Heavenly Thunder, the lies of the so-called Liangzhou Relics will be self-defeating.
Li Chengzhi is thinking about how to find a way to cut off Rouran's credentials in advance...
In addition, there are no benefits at all.
The Du Lun tribe that was destroyed by Li Song was actually one of the main forces that more than ten years later, the Empress Dowager Hu personally sent a special envoy to join forces with Yuan Yuan from the north and the south to put down the rebellion in the Six Towns.
Li Chengzhi cannot guarantee whether the Six Towns will be in chaos again. But he is at least sure that if that day comes, Li Song can completely turn his back on the guest and play this role.
Not much, just give him two to three years of breathing space.
Taking a step back, if done properly, it may not be possible for Li Song to move his troops to Shannan.
Li Chengzhi's mouth watered when he thought of the rich and oily land of Henan... Compared with the West Sea, this is truly the land of Longxing.
Thinking about it in his mind, Li Chengzhi arrived at Guanya before he knew it.
She must have been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as he got off the tower, Yang Jun welcomed him to the Yamen first and presented the memorial he had written, saying that he wanted to see it.
Li Chengzhi only turned one page and bared his teeth.
Yang Jun asked suspiciously: "Is there something wrong?"
He basically seeks truth from facts and writes how the battle is fought.
But precisely because of this, Li Chengzhi wanted to scratch his head anxiously.
"It's too much..."
Li Chengzhi shook his head, "If you present the report like this, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the court officials will definitely think: I, Li Chengzhi, am greedy and ignorant of the merits of my subordinates..."
The fertile fields were pacified, all because of his clever calculations and the ability to predict the enemy beforehand. Yuan Zhi and the two battalions of the Chinese army were completely in trouble...
The defeated Dou Ling was like this again. If Yuan Zhi hadn't captured Dou Ling alive, 90% of the credit would have been attributed to Li Chengzhi...
"It is a fact, and it is just what you and I think is a fact. If it is written like this, who would dare to believe it?"
Li Chengzhi couldn't stand Yang Jun's pestering, so he thrust the memorial into his arms and said, "Write it again!"
Yang Jun looked helpless: No one believes the truth, what kind of world is this?
……
Luo Jian and Yuan Zhi had just entered the Yamen, and they had not yet had time to tidy up, and their faces were still full of dust.
Seeing Li Chengzhi, Yuan Zhi stood up quickly, with a flush on his face, and his voice was even louder: "Fortunately, I lived up to the commander's expectations..."
A few days ago, had he ever thought that he would be able to capture the leader of the Rouran Division alive in his lifetime?
Rouran claims to have three million soldiers who can control strings. In fact, having five to six million soldiers would be as high as the sky. And the Dulun tribe alone can recruit more than 40,000 fine cavalry, which is a veritable large army. The entire Rouran tribe is
However, there are only a dozen such large tribes.
Therefore, Dou Ling, a tribal leader, is already qualified to be called the King of Khan. And it is the first time in the sixty years since the death of Emperor Taiwu that such a victory has been achieved. How could Yuan Zhi not be excited?
He is honest by nature and is not an arrogant person, so he knows very well: If Li Chengzhi hadn't planned the strategy, how could he have achieved such great achievements?
In addition to being in awe, Yuan Zhi at this time admired Li Chengzhi to the core.
"Good job, General!"
Li Chengzhi took the military talisman and stopped Luo Jian, who was about to bow, "Thank you, Commander!"
This is very strange.
It stands to reason that he is the governor of the six towns and the master, and Li Chengzhi is here as a guest. In the past few days, whether Li Chengzhi put down the Lu Yan rebellion or wiped out the Du Lun tribe, he was wiping the butt of him, the governor of the third west town.
, so it was Luo Jian who should have said this.
And Li Chengzhi not only said it, but also said it as if he said "hard work" to Yuan Zhi before. Isn't it natural?
But let alone being annoyed, Luo Jian couldn't even have uncomfortable thoughts.
If it weren't for Li Chengzhi, Woye would have been in chaos long ago, and Dou Ling would have already invaded the pass and robbed Xisan Town of thousands of miles of bare land, causing rivers of blood to flow.
What's more, Lu Yan also wants to coerce Yuan Yi and throw him into Yuan Huai...
What will happen to Luo Jian then?
Even if you don't get killed, you can at least fight it to the end.
This is only second.
If Yuan Yi was really taken captive to Liangzhou by Lu Yan, it would be worse for the young emperor and the Luo family...
With a lot of emotions in his heart, Luo Jian bowed down deeply: "Luo will bear in mind the deep love and kindness of the Duke, and he will definitely repay him in the future..."
There will be a reward...Can you still help me rebel against your nephew?
Li Chengzhi chuckled secretly and replied nonchalantly: "I'm just doing my duty as a minister. The Governor's words are serious..."
After a few polite words, a few people sat down, and Luo Jian asked curiously: "The man from Yuan County mentioned that our fertile field survived this time, all because the county man knew the enemy beforehand and strategized. But it was cool.
The State Heritage Department also provided a lot of help.
Luo and the Duke served as ministers in the same court, so it is natural that he would not say thank you for his great kindness. But for the relics, I thought it would be better to thank him in person. But I am afraid of being presumptuous, so I can ask the Duke to recommend him?"
Not to mention Luo Jian, even Yuan Zhi suddenly became energetic, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes.
Li Chengzhi sighed secretly.
Li Song, Li Song, look at the trouble you’ve caused me?
I, Li Chengzhi, found this Liangzhou relic, so I want to thank Luo Jian. It is right for Luo Jian to thank me, Li Chengzhi. If he insists on taking over the host at this time, it is not because Luo Jian does not know the etiquette. It is because he is like heaven to him.
The general Liangzhou relics were so curious that their hearts almost exploded.
Just look at Yuan Zhi’s expression and you’ll know: Destroy twelve Du Lun tribes in a few days and conquer the city of Tou Man, which has stood firm for hundreds of years?
If we are in a different place, if it is a town army, or even a court army, if there is not a hundred thousand troops, don't even think about it.
And how many soldiers did Li Songcai use?
Including the thousand artillery, it is only six thousand. Even if you double it, it is said that there are more than ten thousand, and you can achieve such a miraculous feat. Is it more than shocking that the whole place is eye-catching?
But as long as people are curious, they will definitely get to the bottom of it. How long can the secret of the white-armored soldiers be hidden?
What's more, even if you are a foreigner, you are also a foreigner. There is no guarantee that this day will not happen again, and there should not be too many examples.
How can we dare to take it lightly when we have soldiers who are so good at fighting, such as Luo Jian and Yuan Zhi?
We must find out the truth...
Li Chengzhi was slightly annoyed in his heart, but his face was calm and calm: "It's a pity that the governor came a step too late: after entering Guancheng, I ordered the remaining troops to retreat outside the pass, and ordered them to withdraw by dawn tomorrow at the latest.
Gaoque and Bigan have recently only been able to set up tents thirty miles outside the city...
Therefore, someone just wanted to remind the governor: If the town cavalry still has enough strength, it is best to leave the pass after a short rest and garrison in the pass as early as possible to prevent long nights and dreams!"
So fast?
Luo Jian's curiosity became even more intense: How come this relic is like Li Chengzhi's domestic slave, coming and going when called upon?
Seeing these two ordinary people hesitating to speak, as anxious as a cat scratching, Li Chengzhi chuckled: "You two, don't think of the relics as if they were soldiers from heaven. I'm not afraid that you two will know that Du Lun will be destroyed this time."
It’s true that the remaining troops are the main force. But if I didn’t send my retainers as the vanguard and use the thunder to open the way, why would the remaining tribes covet this miraculous feat?”
Sky thunder... another sky thunder?
Luo Jian and Yuan Zhi almost simultaneously thought of the day when Li Chengzhi led more than a hundred retainers to capture Woye City, and their breaths froze involuntarily.
The reason why it was so relaxed that day was because the Yuan Dynasty's army of birds came to the city, catching Lu Yan off guard, and also because Li Chengzhi showed great power and was as invincible as a general descending from heaven. But more importantly, it was because of the thunder that day. p>
If it weren't for that miraculous divine thing, why would Lu Yan and his men lose their fighting spirit without even fighting?
You must know that Lu Yanyu had three thousand confidants in the city at that time, while Li Chengzhi only had more than a hundred retainers, a difference of more than twenty times.
Thinking about it this way, it is not so hard to accept that the Liangzhou Relics have five or six thousand armored cavalry, and with the help of divine objects like Tianlei, they can defeat the thirty thousand elite cavalry of the Du Lun tribe.
What's more, it's not all done in one go, but finishing one part and then the second one. This way it's easier...
Luo Jian's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately turned his curiosity to the "sky thunder" mentioned by Li Chengzhi: No wonder the Liangzhou relics were so brave and could achieve such miraculous feats. Did they rely on Li Chengzhi's sky thunder?<
/p>
His eyes were dim and unclear, and he hesitated several times to speak, but finally had no time to ask further questions.
With such a sharp weapon, who can not be curious?
But Luo Jian remembered what Yuan Yi said: Li Chengzhi is a scholar of heaven and man, but he is also the most upright. If he didn't want to tell him, his own father wouldn't be able to ask him. When the late emperor was still alive, he was curious about him more than once.
There were disputes over the methods of making ice, boiling salt, and tofu...
At that time, Li Chengzhi was only in the fifth rank, and he could fall out with the emperor as soon as he said it. At this time, he was already a county prince and the governor of several towns. He was already on par with Luo Jian. How could he treat such a sacred object?
It’s too easy to show to others.
It's a pity that I originally wanted to seek some self-defense. Just like when Yuan Yi was attacked by Lu Yan, how could he be imprisoned if he had this thing?
Sighing secretly, Luo Jian clasped his fists again: "It is true as the Duke said: leaving a heavy barrier empty is not a long-term solution. If someone immediately sends troops to guard it, he can only neglect the Duke first..."
Li Chengzhi stood up after hearing this: "You're welcome, Duke, military affairs are important. When the Governor returns to the capital in the future, it won't be too late for you and me to have a drink and talk..."
Luo Jian was slightly startled: Li Chengzhi is leaving, and he has to break camp tonight?
Otherwise, why would we say "return to the capital"?
Even if we don’t go back to the town, why not have a drink at Jinhao Pass tonight?
After he was hit, he immediately thought of why Li Chengzhi was so anxious.
As Li Chengzhi told him just now: He is just afraid of long nights and many dreams.
Lu Yan had fled south more than ten days ago. If Gao Meng had not intercepted him, he might have fled to Bogulu by now. If he had been faster, Lu Yan would have defeated the Woye incident in just five or six days.
Before Li Chengzhi arrived in Guanzhong, news of quelling the rebellion in Beizhen was sent to Liangzhou.
Maybe there will be a sudden change...
Luo Jian was not disappointed: "I was still thinking: the New Year's Day will be in two days, and I will take this opportunity to get drunk with the Duke and His Highness King Qinghe. But I don't want to say goodbye today?"
”
"I would also like to invite Governor Haihan. It is indeed a military emergency. The day before yesterday, Xiazhou Governor Gao Shi sent an urgent report, saying that for several days in a row, Bo Gulu had armored cavalry leaving the city and heading west. There should be some movement in the next few days, so a certain bird
If you can take the first step... there are many opportunities. When the governor returns to Beijing, it will not be too late for you and me to talk..."
What else?
Luo Jian said regretfully: "We can only wait until later, then I wish the county official a good victory and immediate success!"
It’s this sentence again. I remember what Luo Jian said when he sent troops from Woye that day!
What a good luck?
Li Chengzhi smiled and said: "I would like to borrow the Governor's good words!"
Time waits for no one. No matter how reluctant Luo Jian was to leave, he could not leave an important strategic point in the air, so he bid farewell to Li Chengzhi. After a few compliments, he hurriedly went to the camp to dispatch troops, waiting for Bai Qi to withdraw.
Outside the pass, he immediately took over Guancheng.
As soon as Luo Jian left, only Yuan Zhi remained in the hall.
He was not as alert as Luo Jian, and still looked at Li Chengzhi eagerly.
"Don't ask. If you have the chance, I will let you see what the thunder is and how powerful it is..."
Yuan Zhi's eyes lit up: Right?
Since the commander-in-chief can use it to pacify the fertile fields and defeat Dou Ling, he can naturally use it to defeat Yuan Huai. In the battle of Yu Zhong, why should he be in a hurry?
Seeing Yuan Zhi's excited expression, Li Chengzhi had a headache.
The famous saying is indeed true: a lie requires countless lies to cover up.
Even if we can use the excuse of sky thunder to cover up the destruction of Du Lun's twelve tribes by thousands of relics, how can we fool the relics who are far away in the West Sea to suddenly appear in the north of Yinshan Mountain? p>
The princes in the court are not Luo Jian, let alone Yang Jun. Yuan Zhi is so easy to coax, even if he can't be coaxed, he can still be delayed.
Unless I don't go back to Beijing, I will be asked one day, and I can only make up a valid excuse as soon as possible.
Sooner or later, he will be killed by Li Song...
That’s all, let’s fight this battle first.
Li Chengzhi secretly gritted his teeth and confessed: "Yuan Zhi, Li Liang, let me know: break camp immediately and march through the night. If it is faster, you can reach Wuyuan in time. You can rest until dawn at most, and then divide your troops."
Two routes: Most of them are handed over to the county men, and they go around Woye and cross the river, then to Xiazhou, and then into Guanzhong... You still give me the Yuanjian Armor Brigade, and I will go ahead and go straight to Jingzhou..."
The two of them were shocked: when you said goodbye to Luo Jian before, you said that Yu Jing in Bogulu Town was frequently moving, but now you said that you would go directly to Jingzhou?
You don’t even believe Luo Jian?
Li Chengzhi smiled slightly and said calmly: "Captain Luo is certainly not in danger, but as we can see from the Lu Yan Rebellion, the six towns are not monolithic, and it is difficult to protect his trusted followers. There is no intention to turn against him among his confidants. Therefore, if you can prevent it, you can prevent it, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it.
Avoid..."
In response to this, Li Chengzhi thought again of the time he deceived his uncle Guo Cunxin in Jingzhou a year ago.
Not to mention Luo Jian and Guo Cunxin, even if it were Li Shixian, Li Chengzhi would still be deceived.
