Akatsuki left the east of the forbidden city and encircled Asakusa.

The red flag drove toward the sun, and the white horse rushed into the wind.

Draw the golden arrow with his back hand and turn over to control the horn bow.

Thousands of people pointed their fingers together, and a geese fell into the cold sky.

"Watching Weibo and He Xianggong Hunting"

—I am the dividing line —

And completed the third day of the defense in Yunzhou. After receiving a new round of transportation and supplementation, the Tianping Army also completed the reorganization of the elimination of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled and the follow-up placements; and the former coach Cao Xiang personally led the remaining more than 9,000 re-armed elite soldiers, and that’s it. It crossed the frozen Yellow River again and reached the junction of Bozhou and Weizhou on the north bank.

In the Daming Mansion in Weizhou, contemporary Wei Wang Le Yanzhen also settled an attempt to force the palace against himself not long ago. But unlike Wang Jingwu, who was seriously ill and greatly weakened his control ability, he led the remaining formed troops back to Weizhou territory after losing the centaur in Henan.

Then the Heyang Army, who went too far into Weizhou territory and had some lack of support, without stopping, finally accumulated enough vigor and successfully repelled it in more than a dozen battles; and opened the treasury on the spot in time for compensation and rewards. It stabilized the military spirit and morale, and separated it from the left-behind troops in the Daming Mansion in disguise.

Then he sent people to sneak into the city to encircle the army's dependents. Therefore, the left-behind princes and horses used Le Congxun to deal with the enemy improperly, causing Weibo Town/Wei Guolian to lose ground and instigate the uprising and uprising in the army that surrounded Yacheng. In the end, it was calmed down by Le Yanzhen using coercive and profitable methods.

After all, it is normal for the traditional performance of "the emperor of Chang'an, Wei Boya soldier" to become handsome when defeated or unfavorable. And since Le Yanzhen was able to overthrow his predecessor, the Han family, and get to the top, how could he not have the measures and means to prevent others from imitating in daily life

Therefore, as a corresponding price and a decisive explanation, his eldest son, Le Congxun, was taken into captivity, and he was taken away from the army and the qualifications to open the government as the elder son, and then disguised and exiled Xiangzhou as the east camp. Ambassador Tian. And the five hundred "sub-generals" compiled by his subordinates gathered by his confidants and soldiers were dismissed and charged into the army.

However, as an up-and-coming leader who has only been at the top for a few years, since Le Yanzhen has shown limited concessions and weaknesses in this game between the top and bottom, he has invisibly weakened his authority as a commander. ; And the inevitable sooner or later will usher in the next game and contest between upper and lower.

However, unlike the Shibing and Yajun belonging to other places, the signs of counter-insurgency in Weibo Town could not be deterred and suppressed by killing some leading figures alone. Because in the process of changing commanders from generation to generation, they have formed a relationship of intertwined and inter-connected, mutual advancement and retreat in general positions through marriage;

Even Le Yanzhen himself and his family were one of them. Therefore, if it is not possible to punish it all at once or to uproot it; then just punishing or killing a group of stakeholders, etc., will cause the whole body to be hidden and the rest will be hidden. Part of it backfired on itself and turned into a greater disaster.

In this situation, before he tried to shift the internal conflicts, he reorganized the offensive against the Heyang Army, which still occupied most of Xiangju and part of the city of Tanzhou. The offensive "little strong" forces, and the invasion of the Tianping Army, which can always come back after the incident, became a catalyst for the situation to worsen.

However, the worse situation is far more than this; when he wanted to ask for foreign aid based on the alliance of the three towns of Heshuo since Zhenyuan, they have generally advanced and retreated, but found that the surrounding situation has been very different.

Among the three towns of Heshuo, Lu Longjun, the largest and strongest cavalry in the territory, has been defeated in Daibei, which has led to a change of command. Even the Yanjun of De, Cang, Ying, and Jingzhou neighboring Weibo has begun to lead troops northward or self-defeating. According to wait and see; therefore, it is impossible for him to become a foreign aid and help for Weibo Town in a short period of time.

However, the newly appointed Chengde Army Jiedu Envoy, Zhao Wang Wangrong, in Zhending Mansion, received his envoy quite warmly and gave enough feedback; but he also expressed the current difficulties. Today, the main force of the Chengde Army is occupying and controlling the homeland of the Zhaoyi Army (Xing, Ming, and Ci), and at the same time is attacking the Shangdang territory (Ze, Lu, and Yi states) that belongs to Hedong Road;

Therefore, the towns, Zhao, Shen, Yi, and Ding states of Chengde Army are all more than sufficient and unable to send more support and response. But in terms of the same hatred against the enemy Heyang Army; the young King Zhao still gave rice wheat 100,000 stones and money silk about 150,000 yuan; Zhenzhou special products with iron armor 5,000 collars and 1 leather armor. Million pieces.

However, Weibo Town, the most densely populated town among the three towns, is not short of money, food, and armor. Right now, what Le Yanzhen needs most is a victory, even if it is a victory on the bright side to suppress internal dissident voices, or potential doubts about his ability to continue to lead Wei Bo town up and down; at the same time, the battlefield is also a good place. Can make those unruly or unruly people, justifiably disappear.

Therefore, he has to face two choices. Riding in the gap when the Heyang Army retreats and sticks to it, first concentrate on solving the small but close at hand, like a tarsal maggot, the infestation of the Tianping Army; or ignore it for the time being. The destruction and poison that this Tianping Army may cause, desperately marching westward, defeating the Heyang Army, which is more numerous but inferior in combat effectiveness, and regaining the lost land of the occupied Xiang, Wei, and Tang states is the priority.

As for the plan to compromise the two and divide the forces to defeat each, he never thought about it, and it was impossible to let this happen. The reason is very simple. At the mass grave where the Han clan was thrown away in the wilderness, the grass at the head of the tomb is probably a few feet taller. However, before Le Yanzhen, who was summoning his staff and confidants to discuss, came up with a result, someone had already made a decision for him.

In order to protect the farming industry and relatives in the village in Weizhou that are closely related to the homes of many soldiers and generals; some people mobilized several people in the Daming Mansion (near Handan City, Hebei Province) to protect the homeland. He took the initiative to go to the bank of the Yellow River where the police heard the police, and went to fight the offending Tianping Army.

The so-called principle of pulling the whole body together is to ensure that these men and horses are not defeated by the traditionally fierce Tianping army and lost in vain; Le Yanzhen, who is already involuntarily framed on the fire, has to be complied with. The situation raised forces against the Nei Xing Division and returned the initiative to conquer foreign enemies.

In this way, if he wins the battle, it is naturally his mastery of the strategy; and he can lead the team to cover up and pursue the follow-up. But if the former army is unfortunately defeated or frustrated or lost, he can also respond to and clean up the situation in time; at the same time, he will use the pre-military law on the pretext of arbitrarily to eradicate these lonely soldiers.
