Chapter 620 God Helps the Lord
Many things were done but they were not useful, but they would not work. Guo Shaosui's main force passed the Juma River and arrived in Yizhou, without any war. The careful deployment and defense of the army's infantry and cavalry did not play any role.
Crossing the Juma River is within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and people's moods are gradually relaxed. If they were in Youzhou, even if there was no war, the monarch and ministers would not be able to relax because they felt a sense of crisis.
The army camped and camped in order to stay overnight.
Guo Shao did not show up in public, but only called Wang Pu, Zuo You and others to meet. His cold had not yet healed.
Zuo You said, "I think we should leave an elite army in Yizhou to prevent the attack of the Liao army."
Guo Shao did not respond for a moment. He held the copper lampstand in his left hand, looked down at the location of Yizhou on the map, and placed his fingers in Yunzhou (southeast of Daming Prefecture); then raised the lamp and watched for a long time.
"I have to leave a group of imperial guards in Hebei, but not in Yizhou, it's best here..." Guo Shao tapped the picture with his finger, "Dezhou."
Zuo You stretched out his neck and looked at him silently.
Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty is to guard against Yunzhou (Li Yun)?"
Guo Shao did not deny it and said thoughtfully: "For a strong fortress, the problem often lies in the internal situation. The soldiers do not need to be stationed in Yizhou, because the current problem of the Liao Kingdom does not come from the strong military power of the Great Zhou."
Wang Pu pondered: "I'm afraid there will be storms when I return from the army this time."
Guo Shao looked at the lights placed on the map. One night before, he looked at the flames on the lights with sadness and depression. When he made the decision that night, he had already seriously considered the internal challenges.
At this time, his expression was completely different, and he said calmly: "Li Yun is too ambitious, but not capable enough, so he is not worth worrying."
...
Tianping Jie Town, Yunzhou, is located north of Liangshanbo. Li Yun is now the governor here. Compared to the important task of resisting the Northern Han Kingdom in Luzhou, he has almost no effect 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 Zhaoyi army soldiers. Both the court and the town had both pros and cons. After the game compromise, Li Yun came to Hebei honestly.
As a warlord, Li Yun knew his situation very well. The court certainly did not trust him, so he tried hard to get him to move the town; he was unwilling to hand over the military power because it was his status and capital.
If the court wants to destroy him directly, he will work hard and lose money without help, which will also cause panic to warlords in other places; if he wants to rebel, he will easily fail. The upper and lower levels only make temporary compromises, and both sides are waiting for a thorough solution.
At this time, he was walking around the main hall, very anxious.
There were two civil servants standing next to them. One of them was an old man with a fairy-like manner, named Zhongli. He was good at divination, and he was of various divination techniques and was very famous.
Zhongli had dissuaded Li Yun from reprimanding before this, but the reason was that the opportunity was not good.
Li Yun's eldest son also advised him to give up military power in exchange for wealth and glory from the court... Because before that, the signs of the court's continuous weakening of him were very obvious. He moved the town away from the foundation, and occasionally transferred his generals in the name of promotion, and took back the power of the Jiedushi to interfere with local officials. After hearing a message in a private message, the court also wanted to set up a transfer envoy to take back the financial power of Jiedushi.
At that time, Guo Shao's martial arts were at its peak, and Li Yun had no room for resistance and had negative thoughts.
But now, he smelled another chance.
A staff member said: "It is reported that the imperial guards were attacked by the Liao cavalry in the Northern Expedition, and the losses were heavy. The emperor's two sworn brothers were killed. Now they are defeated and are in panic."
Li Yun said: "How many troops have the imperial guards lost?"
The staff said: "No matter how much it has been lost, the imperial guards must be depressed and exhausted. Now they are usurping the throne and gaining power by force. Now they are defeated, and their hearts are gone."
Li Yun thought to himself: It seems that the blacksmith Guo is not as amazing as the rumors. After all, he was still sipping breasts when I was fighting!
But Li Yun did not say anything inappropriate in front of his aide.
Li Yun turned to look at Zhongli: "Why don't Mr. Zhong speak?"
Zhongli said: "When the old man takes a divination."
Seeing Li Yun hesitating, another aide advised: "There are few opportunities in the current situation. The lord doesn't want to afford it at this time, and he regrets missing the opportunity!"
Li Yun said: "The place we moved to is not good."
But the aide said anxiously: "The court has long been wary of the lord. Once the lord is stripped of military power, beware of the settlement of the accounts after the autumn, and seek wealth and peace but cannot be obtained!"
Li Yun didn't say it, but this was exactly what he was worried about. In the past, the world was chaotic, and he always had a sense that it was his turn, but the people on the chair in Tokyo came and went, but they never got to succeed, and in the end they couldn't even protect themselves. Li Yun was very depressed during this period in Yunzhou!
Now in this situation, he was already very moved. But he still said calmly: "The place is not good, and the troops are insufficient."
The staff said: "If the lord wants to fight against a country with one city, he will naturally hit the stone with an egg; before we were in the abyss, it is precisely because of this. Now it is not yet the only time to be the only one, so we have to contact allies and raise an army together. Once the situation cannot be controlled, the world will be in turmoil! When the general trend changes, the lord will stand out again."
Li Yun looked at the staff with encouragement.
The staff said: "The only ones who actually support the Tokyo court are the Imperial Guards and the King of Wei Fu Yanqing of Hebei, who are unreliable in many places; and now the Imperial Guards are defeated in the first place, and the King of Wei is old... God is really helping the lord! The greatest opportunity is the old land of Hedong Eastern Han Kingdom (Northern Han). At this time, you can try to convince Yang Ye to set off the trend."
After hearing this, Li Yun felt something interesting.
The staff continued: "Yang Ye was in charge of tens of thousands of surrendered troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Xin, and the entire Dai was in his hands. He controlled Yanmen, Xinkou, Shiling Pass and other passes, except for Jinyang City. Once the world changes, Yang Ye could have a land in Hedong, and he regarded himself as the main force, and he would seize the same territory to compete for the Central Plains. Why not do it?"
Li Yun nodded subconsciously and thought to himself: If I had Yang Ye’s capital, I would have raised an army long ago!
The staff said in a deep voice: "Yang Ye's wife, Zhe Saihua, is the daughter of Zhe Deji, the governor of Jingnan. Yang Zhe's two families are family friends and have marriages. Once Yang Ye's cavalry, the northwest Zhe family and other troops will rebel, and the wars in all directions will change in the Central Plains!
In addition, Shu Kingdom, Jiangnan and other places will not be long before they return. The general trend will change. As long as someone climbs up and calls, how reliable will it be?"
Li Yun's eyes brightened, and blood gushed on his face turned red. He pondered for a moment, but said, "You read the books of sages but don't understand the righteousness."
