With the help of Buddhist monks, if Li Siben wanted to escape, he would be able to escape, but if he insisted on fighting bloody battles at the top of the city, death would be the only way to meet him.
Li Si'en is not the general of Yizhou, he has a smaller burden on his shoulders, even if he loses this battle, he can comfort himself with the reason that he was not the one who formed the formation, and convince himself that he did not lose to Li Cunxiao. So he goes.
It was Shangguan Qingcheng who beheaded Li Siben, and Li Ye saw it clearly from mid-air. He also saw the escape route that Li Sien led the elite soldiers to escape, but he did not pursue it. Because he knew that Li Si'en could not escape back to Taiyuan.
When attacking Yizhou, he gave orders to the Zhaoyi Army in the three counties in the northwest of Yizhou to block the roads and prevent Yizhou's rout from fleeing back to Taiyuan City.
Li Ye glanced to the northwest. According to Kang Chengqian's report, he led the Zhaoyi Army to set up a formation early on, and waited for work on the main road to the northwest. Li Si'en took away more than 10,000 soldiers from Yizhou, but there will never be a thousand who can return to Taiyuan alive.
The scene after the officers and soldiers captured Yizhou City was no different from the capture of Qinzhou. The only difference was that this time Li Ye did not ask the governor of Yizhou to find all the rich and squires in the city and make them obey orders.
Li Ye didn't do this because he didn't need it. Before the official army captured the city and Li Ye came to the governor's mansion, the governor of Yizhou waited at the gate with local officials, representatives of aristocratic families and squires.
As soon as they saw Li Ye's appearance, there was a crowd of people in the dark, and they greeted him eagerly with flattering smiles and saluted. No need for Li Ye to say anything, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, voluntarily shouting that they would be loyal to the court and obey King An's orders.
Accompanied by the Holy Infant and the Holy Son and others, as well as Li Ye's civil servants, they all cast their eyes on Li Ye involuntarily. Rao is a rebellious monster monk, and he looked at Li Ye with a sense of awe in his eyes.
However, looking at the dignitaries of Yizhou who were kneeling on the ground in front of them, Li Ye remained expressionless.
There was no surprise or joy in his eyes.
This seemed to him to be a perfectly normal scene.
With the lessons learned from Qinzhou, officials in Yizhou naturally know what to do.
When he gave Qinzhou officials a chance to "rehabilitate" in Qinzhou, it was to influence the hearts of the people in Hedong. In other words, if he can't achieve such an effect in Yizhou, then his work in Qinzhou will be in vain.
Since it was a matter of course, Li Ye would not feel any fluctuations in his heart.
He didn't say a word, walked past the crowd, and went straight into the governor's mansion.
The dignitaries who prostrated themselves on the ground didn't hear Li Ye's words "get up", so naturally they didn't dare to get up. They looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Is King An going to do something to them
Could it be that King An is blaming them for not taking action early and cooperating with the officers and soldiers to attack the city
After all, King An gave the letter of persuasion, so it was not only for the defenders, but also for the dignitaries in the city.
Thinking of this, many dignitaries had sweat on their foreheads and became uneasy. If King An is willing, their heads will fall to the ground immediately, even if the family is destroyed, it will only be a matter of King An's words. After all, rebellion is the matter of punishing the nine clans.
Just when everyone's backs were chilling, but their hearts were burning with anxiety, Li Ye's indifferent voice came from the gate of the mansion: "Come in."
The dignitaries quickly got up and rushed through the door.
Seeing the pitiful gestures of these dignitaries, the Pinglu soldiers on both sides of the street showed contempt. In my heart, the evaluation of the officer in the east of the river has dropped a lot, and my confidence in winning this battle has reached a new peak.
In the political affairs hall, Li Ye looked down indifferently at the dignitaries who prostrated themselves on the ground, tapped his fingers on the table slowly, and fell into deep thought as if no one else was there.
Li Ye's attitude towards officials and generals from different prefectures and counties in Hedong is different. If there is no difference, there is no direction of effort.
He was quite easy-going with Qinzhou officials, it was because the war had just begun. He is rather indifferent to the dignitaries of Yizhou because the war has already started for some time. These officers and generals did nothing during the war, but after the war they thought that they could keep their power and status in front of Li Ye by holding on to their feet temporarily and with a better attitude, so they didn't take Li Ye seriously.
Li Ye wanted to leave them alone, and let the officials and generals of Taiyuan and other prefectures and counties know that he could give them a chance not to be held accountable after the war, but as the war progressed, everyone needed to actively fight for it.
When the army attacked the new city, if the dignitaries in the city wanted to save their lives after the war, they had to know their loyalty to their homeland during the war, and help the army deal with the Hedong army defending the city, so as to reduce the damage caused by the army breaking the city.
This is also a necessary strategy to disintegrate the hearts and minds of the Hedong army and the people.
After a long time, Li Ye withdrew his thoughts, looked at the dignitaries of Yizhou lying motionless in the hall, and said lightly: "You are all big families in Yizhou, there must be no shortage of talents in the clan, and now is the time when the imperial court is punishing rebellious servants. But all monks of my age in the Tang Dynasty have the responsibility to serve the country, what do you think?"
This was Li Ye's first sentence, and the people who had been left alone for a long time dared to say no, so they quickly answered yes.
Li Ye nodded: "Now the order of the lonely king: All monks above the realm of Wu Zong in Yizhou must report to the army within three days. Anyone who does not obey this order will be regarded as disrespecting the court, colluding with the traitor Li Keyong, and punishing the nine clans! "
Everyone raised their heads in surprise, and many people felt turbulent waves in their hearts.
They didn't expect Li Ye to be so tough that he wanted the monks to enter the barracks directly! Those monks above the realm of Wu Zong are the backbone of each family and clan. If all of them are filled into the army, if something happens, the foundation of each family will be injured.
However, when they raised their heads, they didn't even have time to speak. Just as they opened their mouths, they all lowered their heads suddenly, and they couldn't make any sound.
Everyone who saw Li Ye felt a mountain was pressing on their shoulders, and they couldn't breathe. They had to use all their cultivation to resist, or they would immediately lie on the ground.
There are many people who are shaking all over, and they seem to be unable to hold on anymore.
Li Ye took everyone's reactions into his eyes, smiled casually, and withdrew his coercion, "Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled. It seems that you still know the big things, and finally did not disappoint the lonely king too much. "
The pressure on everyone lightened, but their hearts became heavier.
They remembered very clearly that the King An in front of him was not only honorable, but one man was below ten thousand people, and his cultivation level was ridiculously high. They were not able to contend with it at all. If the other party was willing, destroying their family was only a matter of a snap away. between.
Thinking of this, everyone bowed in admiration: "I respect King An's orders!"
...
The drizzle was continuous, water had accumulated in the courtyard, and many flowers and leaves were scattered in the soil.
Li Cunxiao stood under the eaves, silently watching the scene with his hands behind his back, his face was like the rainy weather. Because the stagnation was so strong that his original murderous spirit was covered up a lot.
"General, you have been standing here for three hours, come in and have a seat." A beautiful woman came to Li Cunxiao's side and persuaded with concern.
Li Cunxiao glanced at his wife and then looked away, without speaking or moving. The woman with beautiful makeup sighed softly, but she couldn't persuade her anymore, so she could only stand with Li Cunxiao.
After half an hour, the woman couldn't stand still, seeing that Li Cunxiao still had no intention of moving, she could only turn around and leave silently.
Li Cunxiao stood alone for a long time.
At dusk, a schoolboy rushed into the courtyard, and like the wind, he came to Li Cunxiao, bowed his head, and said in an anxious and sad voice, "General! Yizhou is lost!"
Li Cunxiao didn't move for a while, but after a while, his eyes straightened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he swayed, took two steps back, and almost couldn't stand upright.
"General!" The little principal was shocked, and quickly got up to help.
When Li Cunxiao stabilized his figure, his eyes were already scarlet, his fists could not help but clenched tightly, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his whole body was like a beast that would choose someone to devour, exuding a dangerous aura all over his body.
"I'm going to see the county king!"
When Li Cunxiao came to the county palace, there were already people coming and going, including civil servants, military generals, and even the heads of Taiyuan aristocratic families.
When these people saw Li Cunxiao who was in a hurry, most of them stopped and looked over, but none of them came forward to say hello, and all of them had weird eyes.

Li Cunxiao did not understand their eyes. He had never met such a look. He felt uncomfortable, like he wasn't one of them.
After a while, he realized that it was suspicious and repulsive eyes.
Now in Hedong, almost no one believes in Li Cunxiao. Even if he believed it before, after Yizhou was destroyed in one day, no one believed it anymore.
Yizhou City, which was guarded by two Taibao, was broken by Li Ye in one attack, which shows that Li Ye has the ability to quickly break through the city.
However, when Li Cunxiao was in Yizhou, Li Ye actually chose the besieged city, and did not initiate a big war on his own initiative.
Isn't that an ulterior motive for Li Cunxiao
The two stalemate for such a long time without any shopping. As soon as Li Cunxiao left, Li Ye filled the gully and started to attack the city. Such an obviously abnormal move, could there really be no collusion between the two
Or, is Li Cunxiao really so powerful that Li Ye dare not even fight
This is of course impossible.
If Li Cunxiao is that powerful, who else in Hedong can compare to him? The other eunuchs don't say that they are comparable to him, even if they are put together, they are not as good as him, right? If he was really so powerful, wouldn't everyone become mediocre and useless compared to him
No one will admit that they are mediocre and useless.
Li Cunxiao felt the hostility from his colleagues. Those generals who were closest to him before, who were as loyal and passionate to Li Ke as him, looked at him with the most hatred at this moment. It was a look that wanted to strike him immediately and beat him to the ground.
Li Cunxiao was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
He has never had such an experience. Before, he was always praised and flattered by others, because he was the most valiant general in Hedong, with great achievements in battle, and he was someone Li Keyong relied heavily on.
But now, everything is different.
Li Cunxiao had no choice but to lower his head, bite the bullet and walk in front of people, begging to see Li Keyong.
Yizhou has been lost. If Fenzhou cannot be recovered, Li Ye will advance in two directions and will soon approach the city of Taiyuan. He wants to ask for orders to fight to recover Fenzhou, which was captured by Liu Dazheng.
He can do it.
