When Li Ye said this, his tone was very firm. He smiled and continued: "Although the Tsingyi Yamen has lost some manpower in Taiyuan City, it is only a small part, and it is the inevitable price to be paid for a big operation."
"Li Ke used his subordinates to assassinate the yamen with no information. With only yamen servants and ordinary officials, he has not yet had the ability to uproot the Tsingyi yamen in Taiyuan. I think you will say next that the Tsingyi yamen has been hidden in Taiyuan City. Even if Li Ke People who use it dig three feet, and they can't tell them apart from ordinary people."
After hearing Li Ye's words, Song Jiao gave him a helpless look.
Li Ye continued: "As for the city well in Taiyuan, there are no rumors that Li Cunxiao is going to defect. It doesn't matter anymore. Rumors don't have to exist all the time. Li Keyong's prestige has also dropped a lot because of the instability of the power and people's hearts. Most importantly, Li Keyong has already doubted Li Cunxiao."
Every time Song Jiao saw the appearance of Li Ye Zhizhu holding her hand, she couldn't help but retort: "How can you be sure that Li Keyong no longer trusts Li Cunxiao?"
The smile on Li Ye's face was a bit playful. He picked up the jade slip in his hand and said teasingly: "I just received the news that Li Keyong has ordered Li Cunxiao to return to Taiyuan City in the name of an upcoming counterattack to Fenzhou, and prepare to lead the At the same time, he ordered Li Siben to replace Li Cunxiao to preside over the battle in Yizhou, and also sent Li Sien to help."
Song Jiao opened Yinhong's sexy little cherry mouth, but she still didn't say anything in the end.
Li Ye got out of the big tent, came to the outside of Yizhou City, and looked around the city. Zhao Polu quickly ran over, with an excited expression, and reported the important matter to him: "One hundred and ninety people came here last night, and so far, nearly a thousand soldiers have come here from Yizhou!"
Compared with 70,000 people, 1,000 people seemed insignificant, but in fact, as far as the matter of surrendering to the enemy was concerned, this was already an extremely terrifying number, and any more would be enough to cause chaos in the entire army.
Li Keyong finally decided to transfer Li Cunxiao back. This incident was a very important reason, and it became the last weight for Li Keyong to no longer trust Li Cunxiao.
Of course, the reason why those soldiers ran away was not entirely because of Li Ye's letter of persuasion. A group of monster monks who were good at deceiving people's hearts played a role that cannot be ignored.
Zhao Polu hesitantly said: "Li Keyong thought that by replacing Li Si'en, he would be able to stop Yizhou soldiers from joining us? Changing generals just before the battle, once Li Cunxiao left, the morale of Yizhou's army would be really messed up. More people voted! Can we still win this battle?"
Li Ye smiled: "Who said no?"
He came to the front of the city and stood floating in the air, and said loudly to the tower of Yizhou: "The lonely king heard that General Li is about to return to Taiyuan. I can't see the general again every day. The lonely king is very reluctant to part, so I come here to see you off."
In front of the city tower, Li Cunxiao stared at Li Ye sullenly, looking at him, wishing he could eat Li Ye in one bite.
When Li Ye came out to call him for a meeting before, because he admired the prestige of King An, he said a few more words, but he was caught and caused the current turmoil, and he was forced to leave Yizhou. Now that he was about to leave, Li Ye didn't stop, and wanted to repeat his old tricks, how could this make Li Cunxiao angry
This time Li Cunxiao didn't even put his fists in salute, he said in a deep voice, "Don't bother King An to see you off, next time we meet on the battlefield, we will have to share life and death with King An!"
Li Ye laughed, "General Li is so narrow-minded, so he will be punished like a woman in the market, which really insults the general's prestige!"
Li Cunxiao was so angry that one Buddha went out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but verbal arguing is not his strong point, so he could only snort heavily.
Li Ye laughed, regained his composure, and said solemnly: "The lonely king came to tell the general that the lonely king will not change his original intention for the general, and hopes that the general will wake up as soon as possible, abandon the dark and turn to the bright. The previous promise of the lonely king will not change a single word. , and it will never change. Now that Li Keyong has transferred you from Yizhou, it is clear that he doubts you, the general is not trusted, and what will happen in the future, I don’t think the lonely king needs to say more."
Li Cunxiao's complexion kept changing, from green to pale, it was not because he was hesitating in his heart, but because he was so angry that he couldn't control it.
Li Ye no longer teased him, and bid farewell: "The general wants to leave, but the lonely king will not stop him. The Zhaoyi army in the northwest direction will give way to show the lonely king's affection for the general. Forgive the lonely king for not sending him away."
Li Cunxiao climbed up the female wall and was about to jump out to fight Li Ye, but he was held back by the people around him. He struggled and roared, accusing Li Ye of being mean and shameless.
It is conceivable that Li Cunxiao was released all the way back to Taiyuan, what Li Keyong would think of him. Although the Zhaoyi army who captured the three counties in the west, northwest, and north, and controlled the passage, could not stop Li Cunxiao, but the nature of being unable to stop and letting him go was completely different.
Li Ye returned to the camp and immediately called a military meeting to arrange the next actions.
The military discussion soon came to a result, and the army decided to fill in the Haogou outside the city that was used to trap the enemy, which meant that the day the Haogou was filled was the time when the army attacked the city.
For several days in a row, the officers and soldiers were busy outside the city. Most of the Yizhou soldiers were uneasy when they saw this scene. Li Cunxiao left, and the officers and soldiers were about to attack the city. They were very worried about their future fate.
Li Sien and Li Siben didn't think so. As the generals who succeeded Li Cunxiao, they needed to prove that they were no worse than Li Cunxiao. They are also the Taibao of Hedong, and they also believe that their strength will not be much worse than that of Li Cunxiao. This battle may be a tough one, but under normal circumstances, it is not difficult for 70,000 people to defend the city.
On the other hand, after Li Cunxiao returned to Taiyuan City, he has been at home all the time. Li Ke's so-called counterattack in Fenzhou was naturally just an excuse to recruit him back. When he came back, Li Keyong didn't greet him, and after he came back, Li Keyong didn't summon him either.
In the eyes of many people, although Li Cunxiao is very strong, it is not that without him, Hedong would not be able to do anything. There are so many generals in Hedong, none of them are easy to deal with, and Li Keyong is in charge of the overall situation. Could it be that without Li Cunxiao, Hedong can't operate? That's too ridiculous.
Afterwards, Li Keyong mobilized some reinforcements to support Yizhou, at least to capture the three counties that separated the two places and contain Li Ye's troops. But Li Keyong can't do too much, because once too many troops are divided, Liu Dazheng in Fenzhou has an army of more than 100,000, and he can attack Taiyuan City at any time.
As for the counterattack on Fenzhou—if the battle situation in Yizhou is stable, and the 200,000 officers and troops cannot capture Yizhou City, but will be dragged there, then Li Keyong can indeed mobilize troops to counterattack Fenzhou and open up the situation.
But right now, Li Keyong obviously did not dare to act rashly. If Fenzhou has not been captured, Yizhou will be breached first, and then the army will be able to go straight to Taiyuan and copy his lair.
Outside the city of Yizhou, the government army that had already filled the ravines began to aggressively attack the city on this day.
Li Si'en and Li Siben, who were neatly dressed, stood side by side in front of the city tower, looking at the armored soldiers sweeping in like a tidal wave from outside the city, their expressions were very disturbed.
The restlessness is not because of fear, but because of excitement, because of the fighting spirit. As the Taibao of Hedong, both of them are veterans in the battlefield. They have experienced all kinds of wars. In their view, the scene before them is a great opportunity for them to make contributions and become famous all over the world.
Li Siben, who replaced Li Cunxiao and became the city guard, stared at the outside of the city and licked his lips, looking very eager: "It is said that the Pinglu army is elite, but I want to see who is compared with Li Siben's direct descendants. Even more able to fight!"
Li Si'en sneered: "If the Pinglu army were really so elite, they wouldn't have to besiege the city for so long without attacking."
Li Siben pulled out the horizontal saber, and shouted: "This is the moment when a good man makes meritorious deeds, fame can only be obtained immediately! Those who kill the enemy bravely will be rewarded, and those who retreat timidly will be killed!"
At this moment, Li Siben and Li Sien are full of fighting spirit and urgently need to show their talents. But soon, they were not so optimistic, because as soon as the war started, the gap appeared.
The Pinglu army possessed absolutely excellent armor and weapons. Given Li Ye's powerful position in the Tang Dynasty, as Li Ye's direct line army, the level of armament of the Pinglu army was certainly not comparable to that of ordinary vassal armies.
In addition, Li Ye's military training is expensive and not expensive. Unlike Hedong's massive recruitment of troops, he did not expand his army after the Huangchao Rebellion.
Not to mention, Li Ye's collection of Shengzi's trilogy has improved the overall combat power of the army.
Faced with such a Pinglu army, Li Siben and Li Si'en soon discovered that the elite Shatuo soldiers who were almost invincible as their weapons of victory in the battlefield before had become valiant and brave at this moment. A poor and weak soldier who is obviously insufficient.
They were crushed and beaten by the Pinglu army when they met each other, let alone counterattack, they couldn't breathe at all. The casualties increased rapidly, and the position soon became unstable, and they were forced to retreat step by step.
Due to the pressure of the battle situation, just after noon, Li Siben and Li Si'en had to go into battle in person, leading their elite soldiers to fight fires at the defense lines that were about to be breached and the city walls that were taken away.
However, their efforts are destined to be in vain. The pressure on the defense line is not a single point, but the entire defense line. Even if they can run, they can only end up exhausted.
When it was approaching the time of You, under the leadership of the Pinglu Army, the official army had already attacked the city wall from all sides and gained a firm foothold. There are surging waves of officers and soldiers everywhere, and the Hedong Army, which was originally low in morale, is being driven down from a section of the city.
"Go back! Hold the top of the city, no one is allowed to retreat!" Li Siben, who was in blood-stained armor, stopped a group of retreating armored soldiers and shouted fiercely.
The crowd in front of them paused for a few breaths, but soon, more retreating soldiers rushed over, pushing the crowd forward. Behind them are the soldiers of the Pinglu Army who are chasing after them. Then there was a crash, and the crowd scattered and fled.
Li Siben was furious, he beheaded ten or twenty people with a burst of sword energy, and then shocked the people in front of him. He rushed forward with his own soldiers, desperately trying to stop the Pinglu army, and at the same time yelled that he would kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and no one was allowed to retreat.

At sunset, Li Siben died in battle, and then Li Sien fled with his troops. At night, the government army captured Yizhou City.
