The plan of Bailudong determined the tone of Li Ye's struggle for the world, or when Li Ye adopted this plan, it determined his attitude towards the current court. Li Ye has no feelings for the current court, all he needs to do is to ensure Li Yan's safety.
Li Maozhen and Chen Bing Chang'an City, no matter whether they will attack the city or not, with Yang Fuguang and others present, Chang'an City can at least be safe for the time being. Of course, even if Li Maozhen took Li Yan hostage to Fengxiang, the latter's personal safety would still be guaranteed within a few years. If Li Maozhen did not proclaim himself emperor, Li Yan's life would be in danger.
However, if Li Maozhen were to coerce the emperor to order the princes, Li Ye would be in a very passive position. Of course, this was not the situation he wanted to see.
So now Li Ye has to send his troops to quickly capture the whole of Hedong, and completely defeat Li Keyong's remnant army who fled to Daibei, so that he can free up his hands earlier to deal with the situation in the Central Plains and Guanzhong.
At the same time, Li Ye asked Tsingyi Yamen to sneak into Guanzhong to investigate Li Maozhen's details, to find out who is behind him. If the other party doesn't have the Immortal Realm monks, Li Ye doesn't mind going directly to capture Li Maozhen.
But this possibility is not great.
The next day, Li Xian really rode alone, left Taiyuan City alone, and headed west.
Although Li Xian said that there is no need to send him off, Li Ye still saw him off at the city leader when the other party was leaving the city.
Inside and outside the city of Taiyuan, which has been through the battle, there are only soldiers patrolling and rangers running past from time to time, and there are no pedestrians on the official road.
There are willows on both sides of the empty official road, and Li Xian rides his horse away, and smoke and dust rise from behind the horse.
He is like a lonely knight traveling far away, lonely and heroic.
Until Li Xian's back was no longer visible, Li Ye still stood at the top of the wall.
Since he traveled through time, he has never felt as sad as he is now.
In fact, some inexplicable things had already fallen on his shoulders when he became the Li Ye of this life. If this is fate, then there is no way for him to escape.
Song Jiao didn't know when she came to Li Ye's side, the purple robe was blown by the breeze, her gorgeous face was like a pool of autumn water, whether it was the clear eyes or the seductive red lips, it seemed that there were thousands of words hidden at this moment.
After a long time, she said softly: "Sometimes I envy him. He always knows who he is and what he should do. Even if this kind of life is ups and downs, I won't feel that much suffering. Sometimes I pity him. His things are too heavy, even if he has the talents of the world, he can only stagger forward in this chaotic world."
"There are so many people in the world who think of themselves as heroes, but few of them really understand his thoughts. No matter how many bloody people are around him, their wishes are completely different. He is doomed to walk alone in his life."
Li Ye pondered for a long time, then sighed: "Carrying mountains and rivers to carry forward, but only picking himself out, whether it is suffering or happiness, probably only he himself knows."
After saying this, the two fell silent at the same time.
There are many people around Li Ye, all kinds of companions and friends, including reincarnated immortals and holy sons of the demon clan. But when it comes to careful consideration of human feelings, no one can compare to Song Jiao, who has also gone through ups and downs, and then matured and wised.
The so-called empathy of a woman does not belong to young women, no matter how smart a young woman is, she is only accommodating; it does not belong to a woman with simple experience, no matter how kind and innocent a woman is, she can only give.
Whether it is accommodation or dedication, it is difficult to last long.
Who can really become mature and wise from this materialistic and eccentric world without going through the changes of the world, and without a few scars on the heart that will never disappear in this life
After a while, Song Jiao gathered her blue hair that was blown by the breeze, and her feminine and soft voice became deeper and deeper: "I just got an urgent report that the Xuanwu Army that was assembled by the riverside recently sent troops to the east, and some of them marched towards Pinglu meaning!"
This is amazing news, but Li Ye didn't say anything immediately after hearing it. He closed his eyes, ran through the situation map of the Central Plains towns and mountains and rivers in his mind, and tried to sort out Zhu Wen's hegemony route.
Soon, Li Ye opened his eyes, with a sharp light in his eyes, and said loudly: "There are dozens of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty, and the strongest are no more than the armies of Pinglu, Hedong, Xuanwu, and Fengxiang. Xichuan, Huainan, and Youzhou are all weaker. The first line. And in the feudal town, Pinglu is respected—to be precise, the lonely king is respected."
"The topography of the world is like a chessboard, with the belly of silver horned grass in Phnom Penh. Pinglu occupies the east of Mount Tai, which is one corner of the chessboard. Those who win Pinglu since ancient times can spread their troops everywhere. If the army goes north, it will reach the old place of Yanzhao, and it can sweep across the remote area. If Yun and other prefectures can capture the land of the Three Jins in the east of the river, they will be able to dominate the north and overlook the world. If they go south, they will reach Huaisi directly, and get the land of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains. You can drive straight in, sweep across the hinterland of Henan, and then seek to dominate Guanzhong and become an emperor."
"The land of Pinglu is located in a corner. You can't defend it, you can only make progress, and it is very convenient to make progress. At the beginning of the Huangchao Rebellion, I sought to get out of Pinglu. This is the reason. Now in the Battle of Hedong, I have pacified all the way. Wei Bo, to subdue Zhaoyi, capture Taiyuan, and the land of the three Jins will be handshake, the so-called great power, there is nothing more than this."
"A person of insight in the world, a hero who is determined to compete in the Central Plains, seeing my situation today, how can he not be worried and sleepless all night? Zhu Wen has the ambition to swallow the world, and with the help of the immortal court, he is naturally ambitious, but after all Xuanwu has only one army, so he has to plan in detail. Xuanwu's army in Bianzhou is deep in the chessboard, surrounded by many feudal towns, and the mountains and rivers are not dangerous to defend. Even if I don't attack him, in my general situation In front of him, how could he not be frightened?"
"If Zhu Wen wants to achieve a great cause, he must first use troops everywhere to wipe out the vassal towns around Xuanwu, so that he can maintain his own stability. Occupying Henan, embracing the hinterland of the Central Plains, and herding hundreds of millions of people, he has the possibility of going south, north, east, and west. .And if he wants to raid the surrounding feudal towns, the first thing he has to face is not the feudal envoys, but the lonely king!"

"The lonely king is unparalleled in fame and power. Who in the world will not be subdued? The lonely king only needs a piece of military order. Maybe he can't let Xuanwu's surrounding towns send troops to attack Zhu Wen, but they can let them strengthen their walls and clear the fields, and fortify the city to defend themselves against Xuanwu. If this is the case, Zhu and Wen will attack the strong city from all sides, regardless of the battle situation, they will lose the momentum first."
"If this is the case, if the lonely king wants to deal with him, he only needs to send big monks to help the various towns. Even if Zhu Wen has the help of the fairy court, how can he solve the battle quickly? When I finish the battle in Hedong, I will turn around and go south. What is the possibility of competing for the general trend?"
"Zhu Wen wants to sweep the Central Plains, first of all, he must establish prestige and let the feudal towns be in awe and fear, so that he can send troops to attack the city and plunder the land in the future, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. And if the Xuanwu Army can send troops to capture Pinglu while the lonely king is still in Hedong, not only can the Show your own strength, subdue the various towns, so that they no longer only obey the orders of the lonely king. And once he seizes the land of Pinglu, he can greatly damage the prestige and strength of the lonely king, killing two birds with one stone." "In the future, no matter the lonely king Whether he dominates the north, he will no longer be as unfavorable as he is now in terms of the general trend of military competition, but will have the strength to fight!"
"Henan has a prosperous population. Although the wealth is not as rich as that of Jianghuai, it is still a central place. If it can successfully level the Central Plains, it will also be the foundation of the empire."
Speaking of this, Li Ye smirked: "Under the current situation of the lonely king, if Zhu Wen wants to survive, he must find a way to break the situation. The only way to do it once and for all is to attack Pinglu. He has no choice at all."
After Song Jiao heard Li Ye's high-spirited words of pointing Jiangshan, her peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she looked at Li Ye in a daze.
After a while, she covered her lips and smiled, and her voice returned to her usual soft and charming voice. She winked at Li Ye and said, "I now find that your appearance is more pleasing to the eye than when Li Xian was young. That guy is too serious. It’s a little more serious, but lacks a bit of liveliness, which makes people feel dull and involuntarily creates a distance. But you are different, you are rampant when you are rampant, you laugh when you laugh, and you are proud when you are proud, making people feel like a person.”
Li Ye felt powerless after her words: "What do you mean I look like a person? Could it be that I am a demon?"
Song Jiao looked "Don't you have self-knowledge" in her eyes: "Look at the things you did after you came down from Shen Yunshan, and the cultivation strength you have achieved, how dare you call yourself a human being? Don't say you are a demon. Even the monster clan dare not recognize you as a fellow clan."
Her words were quite playful and full of jokes, and her words were unexpectedly full of feminine flavor.
Li Ye didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so he turned around and went back to the palace, beat the drums to gather the generals, and at the same time called the staff to discuss matters.
The discussion was naturally aimed at the matter of Zhu Wen's use of troops to pin Lu.
The conclusion is also very clear: right now the army is gathering in Hedong, not to mention that it will take time to return to the aid, and it is very likely that they will not be able to catch up, so they will not be confused. Besides, the battle in Hedong is not over yet, so Li Ye can't just leave now.
So Li Ye ordered that each of the four towns send elite troops to other prefectures and counties in Hedong to capture the territory as soon as possible.
At the same time, King Shengying rushed back to Pinglu with the elite of the demon clan to help Cui Keli stabilize the situation and guard Qingzhou. Shangguan Qingcheng led the Spike Capital and 20,000 Pinglu Army Jingqi, and then returned to help.
After the arrangements were made, the Holy Infant was the first to stand up and object. He said: "If I don't return to Pinglu, I will follow you! What if you were attacked and killed by the monks of Xianting without me?"
What he said was so straightforward that he couldn't refute it.
However, there is another extremely important reason why he would disobey Li Ye's military order in public. He continued: "You have obtained the secret, and the power is no longer the same as before. I have sent a message back to ask my father and several great sages to send more monks." Come here and let them go straight to Pinglu."
After thinking about it, Li Ye agreed to Hong Hai'er's request.
The additional monks sent by the Yaozu must be stronger than the previous two waves. It is a better choice for them to go to Pinglu to block the monks of the Xianting. .
After all, for Xianting, as long as he is dead, everything will be fine.
The last part of the arrangement was for Li Ye to lead the big monks to pursue Li Keyong northward first.
Li Ye didn't want to let Li Keyong go, and Li Cunxiao too. A military general, plus a military general, if they take refuge in the grassland tribe, it will become a disaster in the future.
