Lan Ziyun was extremely puzzled, "After Yuan Li became a clan member, he became a county king. As long as he followed the rules, he could enjoy wealth and prosperity and benefit his descendants... In contrast, he was only not allowed to sleep in a felt tent. What's the point of wearing Hu clothes and speaking Hu language? So if it's just because he is forced to practice Chinese customs, Yuan Li will get angry and take action. Is it really not worth the gain?"
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish? Ziyun only knows one, but not the other..."
Pei Sui sighed sadly, "Just like Pei, after being coerced by his clan uncle to join the Wei Dynasty, Yuan Ke treated me very kindly and even appointed me as the prefect of Wei County. If I was greedy for wealth and honor, why would I go south alone again? It's all for the same reason. It’s hard to change habits, and it’s hard to leave your homeland...
In the Northern Dynasties, there were many important officials from Xianbei who were dissatisfied with the imperial court's excessive use of Han officials and forced the Hu people to return to the Han Dynasty. For example, the Lu brothers who took action against Beizhen this time were killed because of this.
And for example, Cui Zujia, the governor of Longxi County, was born in a famous family and had a high official position. If we follow Ziyun's words, why does he not want to enjoy his wealth in peace, but wants to act brazenly? It's all because he is loyal to the orthodox Han family and doesn't want to be a member of the Hu people. You, the gatekeeper dog... draw parallels with each other, so it is not surprising that there is an extra Yuanli..."
Lan Ziyun followed the good example and bowed respectfully: "It seems that Lan has little knowledge! In this case, it is not that Yuan Li has any evil intentions, which is why she is tit for tat with the county magistrate. It is all because of her hatred of Han people... ”
"It should be like this... If he had ulterior motives and repeated ambitions, he should keep a low profile and hide his intentions, instead of being so arrogant and arrogant... Therefore, in my opinion, Yuan Li should have gone against his wishes, so He became angry from shame and turned his anger on the county magistrate..."
Pei Sui paused for a moment and then asked Chang Yizhi: "What does the county magistrate think?"
"What Yuan Ming said is reasonable, but there is no guarantee that it is not a treacherous plot by this thief who wants to go against his will, so we have to guard against it!"
Chang Yizhi muttered, "Send the order and order the scouts to guard the horse to prevent Yuan Li from sending spies to reveal our army's secrets to Li Chengzhi and make peace with him. We also ordered the scouts to patrol the north overnight to keep an eye on the movements of Qiyuan... ”
If Yuan Li was already thinking about it, she might have had the idea when she first argued with Chang Yi. Later, when Chang Yi ordered Yuan Li to attack the city regardless of casualties, he had already contacted the Wei army.
Then Chang Yizhi suddenly ordered all the troops to withdraw, and it seemed like the army collapsed. It was so chaotic at that time, not to mention sending spies, even Yuan Li defected to the gate of Mianyin City like a soldier, and there was no time to take care of it.
Therefore, if Yuan Li rebels, the means she should use may have been used long ago. If she only knows how to take precautions now, what's the use?
Just like giving an umbrella after the rain, it's too late.
It is better than nothing, so we can only hope that as Pei Sui said, Yuan Li has no rebellion, but just hates the house and the bird, and hates Chang Yizhi because Yuan Ke is pro-Han...
The two men responded respectfully and were about to convey orders to various places when another general rushed over and said they had important military information:
"County Marquis, after the discussion, Yuan Li did not return to the camp, but waited outside the Yamen. After Fu Luo left the Yamen, the two of them went to the Tuyuhun Camp outside the city...about two moments ago
, there was a sudden alarm in the city: it seems that Yuan Li sent his confidants to transport the remaining grain, grass, soldiers, horses and other military equipment in the city to Fuluo camp..."
Pei Sui and Lan Ziyun were not surprised but overjoyed: If it is as Yu Zhong said, Yuan Li does not like Han customs, even if the situation is over, she is not willing to join the Southern Dynasty?
He made it clear that he wanted to follow Fu Luoxi instead of rebelling against the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, which made Chang Yizhi and others feel a lot more at ease.
"Still keeping an eye on... even if Yuan Li is not colluding with Li Chengzhi, but this thief already hates me to the core, there is no guarantee that he will not try to kill someone with a borrowed knife before leaving, and lure Li's child to harm me, so we must not take it lightly...
…”
The general left as promised, and Chang Yizhi told Pei Sui and Lan Ziyun: "If I were Li Chengzhi, I would pursue him closely. Even if I couldn't catch the opportunity to cover up the murder, I would definitely press forward step by step.
, in order to force us back to Lingnan, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.
According to my predictions, Li Chengzhi will definitely lead a large army to pursue him tomorrow at most. It is also possible that this thief is so ambitious and whimsical that he will send his cavalry around Lingnan in a plan to attack from both front and rear.
So as far as we are concerned, whether it is reorganizing the army or preparing food, we only have one day tomorrow, and we will start at dawn the day after tomorrow at the latest. Therefore, I would like to trouble you two and supervise each battalion: time is not waiting for us, every second counts..." "I will obey the order of the county magistrate..."
The two stood up and bowed, and responded loudly. Chang Yizhi responded solemnly: "That's it, I'll leave it to you two!"
Pei Sui and Lan Ziyun said they didn't dare and stepped back respectfully. Chang Yizhi personally sent them out of the government hall.
Just as the moon sets over the Western Mountains, the silver glow gradually recedes, and the earth returns to darkness. There are many shadows of mountains in the distance, like monsters entrenched, opening their mouths to devour.
After looking at the noisy camp, Chang Yizhi looked into the distance, staring in the direction of Qianyuan City.
He made numerous conquests in his half life and experienced hundreds of battles. But even though he was trapped in Zhongli, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops outside the city continued to attack the city, and only three thousand soldiers and civilians remained in the city. The four cities were lost and recaptured.
Never before had he felt so uneasy.
The situation is weakening, but there are still 100,000 troops. When we retreat to the Qinling Mountains in the future, we will have favorable terrain to rely on. There is no need to fear Li Chengzhi's armored cavalry, artillery carts, sky thunders, and rockets. Therefore,
Even Chang Yizhi himself is not sure whether he is afraid that he will not be able to bring back the 100,000 troops safely, or is he afraid of Li Chengzhi?
But if I think about it carefully, I feel even more frightened: the root cause is probably because of Li Chengzhi’s letter.
God-given?
The Yuan and Wei Dynasties were already very ambitious, and they were looking at each other with eagerness. Now that they have some help, they are even more powerful. Sooner or later, Daliang will be in danger...
But how can we sit back and wait for death?
As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate. As for whether it will succeed or not, we will wait until we do it.
Chang Yizhi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Left and right, prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones as soon as possible, so that I can write a letter to the Empress Dowager of the Wei Dynasty and the Dukes..."
The eyes of his subordinates almost popped out of his head: Could it be that the county magistrate is crazy?
He was astonished in his heart, but how could he dare to neglect it? In just a few breaths, he set up the Four Treasures of the Study.
Chang Yizhi sat at the table and pondered for a moment before writing like a knife:
Chang Mou was convinced by this defeat: If he knew that Duke Li of your dynasty was a person sent by heaven, he could stop things that have not happened in the world in the temple, and it would be like a god sending an immortal to hold the weapon of thunder, he would not dare to lead an army to invade...
…Therefore, this defeat was not a fault of war, but God’s will...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The confidant's eyes couldn't help but condense: Use the other person's way to repay the other person?
How stupid were the Empress Dowager Gao and the princes of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties to fall for such a clumsy alienation plan by the county magistrate?
But if you think about it deeply, this might cause the Yuan and Wei imperial courts to become dissatisfied with Li Chengzhi.
The so-called meritorious deeds are so great that Li Chengzhi was already honored as a prince before he reached the age of 10. This time, it can be said that his merits are unparalleled. He was granted the title this time, but what about next time?
Just like Bai Qi of Qin and Han Xin of Han, they met with unlucky fate because they had no seals and no rewards.
But now the Yuan and Wei Dynasties are at a time when their young masters are doubtful and the country is in turmoil. If there are one or two far-sighted people among the eight assistants, they will be surprised when they see this letter: As enemies, even the famous general Changyi highly respects him.
It can be seen that the rumors are not false.
God's gift... How can such people be subjugated to others for a long time?
In this way, the two will become increasingly suspicious...
Of course, I take it for granted. But idleness is idleness, and at most it’s just a matter of writing...
……
Fortunately, Li Shao and others didn't know about Chang Yi's move, otherwise they would definitely be shocked and numb.
It is nearly the fourth watch, and there is silence inside and outside the county town. But the lights in the county government office are still bright.
All the servants of the Li family seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and they guarded the Yamen Hall completely. But Li Shao and Li Shixian were the only ones in the hall.
The two of them sat facing each other, their faces solemn.
Li Shao sighed sadly: "Chengzhi is young and vigorous, and he is eager to achieve success. It is inevitable that he will act too hastily. But you have experienced many ups and downs in the officialdom, so you should be prepared for rainy days and have a sharp eye... When you see him carrying out such a shocking plan, why don't you
Discourage me?"
If I can only reach the sixth rank as an official, what is the ups and downs of the officialdom?
Li Shixian was slandering in his heart, and was even more annoyed. How could he be as proud as when he first heard that Li Chengzhi had retreated from Changyi?
As the saying goes, a bystander can tell, but the authorities are confused. It was only after Li Shao pointed out that he realized later: It is like a sharp weapon like thunder from the sky or kerosene. Although it shakes the sky and the earth, at least there are traces to follow.
But how frightening would it be if rumors like "foreseeing the unknown" and "knowing the future from the extreme past" are true?
You can know the affairs of the world by pinching your fingers... How can the Queen Mother and the princes in the court feel at ease with Li Chengzhi like this?
Let me put it bluntly: Since Li Chengzhi already has a disobedient heart, doesn’t it mean that the more chaotic the world is, the greater the chance that he will succeed?
He took another step back because he remembered the kindness the late emperor had given him and wanted to repay him. According to the current situation, if he only needs to proceed step by step and fight one battle after another, he will never be defeated, so there is no need to make dangerous moves.
?
"My brother is confused and didn't expect this!"
Li Shixian half argued and half doubted, "But Chengzhi is quite resourceful and far-sighted, and he has always been cautious after entering the capital. Just like when the late emperor was still alive, he never showed any of his methods for fear of arousing suspicion.
But after the late Emperor Bintian, why did he suddenly act so arrogantly and not avoid eating meat and vegetables? Therefore, your brother suspected that it seemed that Li Song had destroyed the Du Lun tribe without authorization, forcing him to do it, but if you think about it deeply, it might not be wrong.
He did it intentionally..."
Intentional?
Li Shao's eyes suddenly condensed: Play hard to get?
Even if you are rebelling, you can't just rebel. At least you have to have a name.
However, Li Chengzhi's "loyalty and integrity" and the meaning of "preserving the building before it collapses, supporting the tide before it falls" are already known to the world. If he acted suddenly, wouldn't he be making the same mistake as Wang Mang of the later Han Dynasty, and all people's hearts would be lost?
?
Therefore, we can only use some underhanded methods...
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible. Li Shao suddenly thought, "It's too urgent!" as if in a dream.
No matter what, we should wait and see for a few years. When the world becomes more chaotic and the Li family's old tribe hidden in Hexi becomes stronger, it will not be too late to implement this strategy.
Li Shixian opened his mouth, and when the words reached his tongue, he swallowed them back.
Even though he was a little anxious and couldn't care less, it was better than Li Chengzhi being obsessed with the late emperor, having trouble making a decision for a while, and then being an obedient minister for the rest of his life.
And with Li Chengzhi's current situation, as long as he plans properly, he has a 90% chance of winning...
