Chapter 299 302

【Chapter 3 and Two】

The next thing that needs to be dealt with is complicated and complicated, Tao Xiao took a lot of effort.

Zheng Yi was really ruthless this time, Jiu Wang and other five people were caught in a net. They were all under the attack of Zheng Yi, and they were reluctant to surrender with their territories.But no matter what, they all surrendered to Zheng Yi.This incident was like a big coup d'état, which inevitably caused an uproar. Tao Xiao was busy for a while, so that in the end he was numb when facing those sad, angry, and panicked faces.

When the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, all civil servants are in danger.

The generals are also having a hard time, whether they are in the capital or in the garrison, everyone is more or less in contact with these old forces, and no one knows whether they will be implicated.And what Tao Xiao was most worried about also happened. When the Qianyuan army got the news, the spies immediately extended their hands to the generals on the border, and the tempting letters of persuasion filled the border almost instantly.

Ji Ce is a temptation to cast a large net, but it is also very strategic.

He asked the surrendered generals of the Qianyuan Army, such as Bian Cheng and others, to write letters and send them to those Zheng Yijun generals who had acquaintances-this is more terrifying than a simple letter of persuasion, because they were all comrades. , Move it with emotion and understand it with reason. When this kind of opportunity comes, everyone will weigh it.

Once there is a loosening, people's hearts always look at each other.

Tao Xiao was naturally anxious when he heard the news, and ordered all the generals to hand in their letters of surrender.

Just when he was about to be burned, Zheng Yi came unexpectedly: "Tao Xiao, why did you burn it?"

Tao Xiao said coldly: "I was worried that these surrender letters would fall into the hands of the Holy Majesty, which would make the Holy Majesty irritable, so I took the initiative to share the worries for the Holy Majesty. Although Ji Ce is cunning, our generals are not fools."

But Zheng Yi said: "I won't be so stupid, everyone has received it, how can I kill all my generals?"

"Don't look at it, don't doubt it, Your Majesty, please forgive me for making arbitrarily assertive opinions."

Looking at the fire, Zheng Yi suddenly sighed with emotion: "What annoys me the most is that nearly a million troops are suppressing the capital, with six chief generals and more than a dozen deputy generals all stationed here. Why can't we win a mere Changcang Pass! Cen Po How many troops does Jing have? Or does he have three heads and six arms? How can he defend like an iron barrel, you can't even pry open a hole! Also, in Kaizhou, Rong Yue threw himself into the trap, and I made repeated orders, no matter what You wanted to severely injure his army, but you didn't even seize a corner of your clothes. You just walked away without seeing a great opportunity! As a result, now that he has regained his breath, he has beaten Kaizhou to the point where he is helpless! Even if Cen If the broken thorns don't come, I think Rong Yue will come soon!"

"...My humble minister, I am ashamed of my Majesty!"

Tao Xiao threw the last stack into the furnace, and the furnace was so hot that it was easy to destroy the books, and it was not easy to get rid of the thoughts that had been embedded in people's hearts.Seeing that Zheng Yi's expression was fair, Tao Xiao slowly expressed Li Yuqi's desire to attack Kaizhou.

Zheng Yi was silent for a while: "Is it true that I am not suitable for meddling in military affairs?"

Tao Xiao said cautiously: "Li Yuqi has his own set of tactics. Your Majesty might as well let him give it a go. I believe it will be better than sticking to the capital!"

Zheng Yi stroked his chin and said, "Tao Xiao, I just got the letter and Chi Heng left Zhaojin City."

Where will you go when you leave Zhaojin?

Chi Heng has always been cunning, he will definitely use tricks to make it difficult for people to see his whereabouts.Tao Xiao thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "My lord, it is better to defend than to attack. Instead of guessing Chi Heng's whereabouts, it is better to use your own tactics to the extreme. Please send Li Yuqi to Kaizhou!"

He is so persistent.

After a long time, Zheng Yi slowly uttered a sentence: "I will gamble once!"

The next day, Zheng Yi ordered Li Yuqi to send troops to Kaizhou.Li Yuqi carefully planned the Battle of Kaizhou for more than a month, leading the troops with excellent combat skills, an army rushed towards Kaizhou like a tiger just out of the cage.Kaizhou is where Zheng Yijun's heavy troops are located. With Li Yuqi's deployment across the board, the entire Kaizhou front was instantly alive in less than ten days.

Rong Yue and Xin Que in Kaizhou were caught off guard, and the two armies fell into a fierce battle.

Li Yuqi was methodical, recruiting troops from Yaoren Prefecture to the east, and drawing military aid from Changling Prefecture to the east.The Qianyuan army that was so excited by Rong Yue could only resist, at this moment, they finally got the definite news that the place Chi Heng had arrived at was exactly where Rong Yue was leading the army.

Li Yuqi was overjoyed.

He knew that Chi Heng's location must be where the Qianyuan Army's heavy troops were located.Li Yuqi did not focus on attacking the place where Chi Heng Rongyue was, but first dispatched the general Huang Mo on the eastern border of Kaizhou to take a position called Qingquan Fort regardless of casualties, and ordered the major general Fu Mei to secretly gather troops in Kaizhou Mulei City in the middle, Mulei City is an ordinary small town, unobtrusive.

Kaizhou has a river named Kaiyuan River, with vast banks and mighty water.

In terms of candidates, Li Yuqi secretly ordered all the fierce generals to withdraw from the front line. Instead, he ordered the calm and wise generals to mediate with Chi Heng, and the battle ended in a stalemate.

In late November, heavy snow fell.

Under the fierce attack led by Rong Yue, Li Yuqi secretly ordered the front-line generals to pretend to be defeated and retreat, and even withdrew from Zhining Road, an important town in Kaizhou.With Zhining Road, he can control the central territory of Kaizhou. How can Chi Heng not be happy, and pursue the victory.

When the whole army of the Qianyuan Army chased to the Kaiyuan River, Li Yuqi finally issued an order to send out the first batch of warriors and vanguard troops. They fought in water for two days and two nights. When both sides were exhausted, they both faced off on the river. , the weather was extremely cold, and once the boat didn't move, it was quietly frozen within an hour or two.

It's too late to find out.

The generals of the Qianyuan army were nervous when they saw this situation, and then saw that Zheng Yijun was the same, and then they settled down to think of a way out.

Seeing that the timing was just right, Li Yuqi suddenly sent a second army to venture up the river, taking advantage of the unstable morale of the Qianyuan army to attack.This battle was hearty, and the Qianyuan army didn't even have the strength to parry. In the hasty fight, more than half of them were killed or injured.

Seeing this, the Qianyuan army abandoned the ship and fled.

Zheng Yijun pursued and beat him fiercely.

At the same time, Rong Yue knew that this side was in danger, so he ordered the general to bring hundreds of thousands of troops to help, and made peace with the defeated and fled troops.The upstream terrain is steep, full of ice and snow, and the Qianyuan army can only take advantage of the trend and go to the downstream where the guards seem to be lazy, right in the middle of an ambush in Mulei City.

Besides, Li Yuqi's layout is really good, and all the generals in ambush are the powerful generals who were suppressed by the Qianyuan army before.

The generals of the Zheng Yi Army besieged like a dragon, and the most valiant Zheng Yi Army gathered here to attack from three different directions.So what if the Qianyuan army fought stubbornly, they were defeated in three days.

When Rong Yue heard the news, he hurriedly led his troops to help, and he focused on attacking Qingquan Fort on the western front, where Zheng Yijun was weakest.

Because Huang Mo is the weakest general among them, and Qingquan Fort is easy to attack and difficult to defend. After cutting in, it can open up a road for the Qianyuan army.As soon as Rong Yue sent troops, Qingquan Fort was crumbling.Huang Mo resisted desperately, and even went into battle with his clothes on, causing injuries all over his body.Rong Yue attacked more and more fiercely, and finally broke through a pass, and merged with the trapped Qianyuan army.

As everyone knows, this is exactly the purpose of Li Yuqi's deliberate deliberation.

He made a careful layout, showed weakness, and was serving as bait.

As soon as Rong Yue entered the city of Mulei, he immediately regretted it, because Li Yuqi's military strength really showed its strength, and Rong Yue's move was tantamount to jumping into a pit of fire, and there was no way out at all.Rong Yue was too remorseful, and the fight was fierce, when the entire army was almost destroyed, Chi Heng led the cavalry to rescue.

After a bloody battle, Rong Yue broke out of the encirclement.

So far, in less than half a month, nearly 20 people were killed in the first battle of the Qianyuan Army in Kaizhou. The losses were heavy, their strength was greatly reduced, and their morale was greatly reduced. All attacks are in a dormant posture.The morale of Zheng Yijun suddenly rose, and the Zheng Yijun on the front lines of Kaizhou, Qizhou, and Xinbei Prefecture were all high-spirited and provocative.

Li Yuqi was very happy.He stepped up his deployment, marched step by step, and marched faster, and Zheng Yijun soon became overwhelming.

Of course, the absence of movement from the Qianyuan army does not mean that they will admit defeat. It is more likely that Chi Heng and Rong Yue may change their strategy. Li Yuqi is very vigilant, but not afraid.In the first ten days of December, because of this victory, Zheng Yi gave him a big reward, and Li Yuqi stayed in Kaizhou, fearing that Chi Heng would take the opportunity to attack, even though he was close, he did not return to the capital to receive an order to thank him.

As a result, Chi Heng did not attack.

Rumors came first.

Some people complained in front of Zheng Yi that Li Yuqi's meritorious deeds were great, and he was arrogant; some people went forward to slander the emperor, saying that Li Yuqi thought that his power was too small, and he deliberately did not fight well before, which made the Qianyuan army almost attack the capital; Guo Yitao, the original leader of the state, had worked hard to lay the foundation, but Li Yuqi ran over and took all of his credit.

When this word reached Li Yuqi's ears, he was angry again. He was angry because the rumors were based out of nothing, and he was even more afraid that the emperor would feel dissatisfied because of it.

Fortunately, Tao Xiao has been supporting him in the court, which is a bit of comfort.

But the matter didn't stop. Li Yuqi's contribution was great, so naturally there would be more rewards. He kept himself clean, but it didn't mean that his whole family could lead by example.For example, his two brothers-in-law were so arrogant because of their brother-in-law's reputation that they almost walked sideways on the main road in the capital.Moreover, some villains secretly instigated these two people to become more and more unscrupulous, and they actually did something like flogging officials in the street.The official was hit in the chest by the whip, and immediately fainted. The doctor rushed to rescue him. He said that his life was not in danger, but for some reason, in the middle of the night, the official suddenly convulsed and died.

He died in a hurry, and no one noticed that his fingertips turned out to be black.

The official's family couldn't take it anymore, and carrying the coffin, they went to the Li Mansion. The two brothers-in-law didn't know that they had made a big mistake.This matter was quickly brought up, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was an upright person, and he was dealt with immediately according to the punishment, and the two were thrown into the prison.

Li Yuqi's father-in-law is eager to save his son, so he seeks to absolve him of the crime by relying on relationships.

Someone then advised him, saying who was Li Yuqi's savior, who had a good relationship with Li Yuqi, and who was in a key position.Father-in-law went to the doctor in a hurry, so he followed his advice and went to find them one by one.That official also has a complicated root system, and in order to fight for this tone, he also filed complaints one by one.

Strange to say, although this kind of thing often happens, it is easy to be suppressed.

However, the matter of Li Yuqi's brother-in-law seemed to be instigated by someone secretly, and it didn't take long for a thousand waves to arise.But the people in the court had some ulterior motives and added fuel to the flames. This matter became more and more troublesome. Originally, Tao Xiao wanted to suppress it, but he didn't know that it ended up with Zheng Yi.
