The immortal cultivators brought by the white-robed old Taoist priest were attacked and defeated by You Daxiao and others. Some died and escaped.
The Taoist priests in the Taoist temples, whose cultivation bases were only at the high level of Qi training, fled far away when the battle broke out. This kind of battle is not something they can intervene in, and they can't even watch it.
Li Ye didn't kill Wang Jingchong, he still wanted to take him to Zhenzhou. When the Pinglu army took over the city with 10,000 cavalry, Wang Jingchong was still useful.
Li Ye handed Wang Jingchong to You Daxiao, and came to Liu Zhixing and Zhao Weihuang by himself. The two of them were covered in dust and blood, and their wounds were bleeding non-stop. They were as embarrassing as they could be.
Except for the two of them, all their followers died in the ruins, including the young and beautiful Confucian woman. Now her limp body was lying in the ruins, the broken wood under her belly was stained red with blood, and the color of her robe was no different from dust.
After Liu Zhixing dug her out from the ruins and reached out to sniff her, he didn't do anything else. He didn't look very sad, probably to him, the death of a woman was not enough to cause much pain to a scholar who was full of family, country and ambitions.
Seeing Li Ye approaching, Liu Zhixing struggled to get up. He tried to stand up straight, but it was all in vain.
However, he still glared at Li Ye angrily, and cursed righteously: "Killing innocent people indiscriminately, even if you gain power now, you will surely perish! This world does not belong to you, coveting things that do not belong to you, you just You will harm others and yourself!"
Li Ye smiled, calmly, and asked, "The world doesn't belong to me, does it belong to you?"
Liu Zhixing straightened his chest to show that he was fearless, "The world belongs to the benevolent king, to the bright lord who wins the hearts of the people and is supported by all people. You are just a remnant of the old dynasty, and you are destined to become a martyr for the collapse of the dynasty!"
Li Ye shook his head, looking a little disappointed, he waved his hand, as if to dispel the stench floating in front of him, "That shit doesn't make sense."
When he finished speaking, Liu Zhixing had already collapsed, dying, his eyes widened as he was dying.
Li Ye looked at Zhao Weihuang: "Then what do you think? Do you also think that I am not a benevolent king and will surely perish?"
Zhao Weihuang was slightly injured. Although the military cultivator left the battlefield and couldn't show his cultivation, his physique was better after all, and he was not comparable to a frail scholar, so he could still stand upright.
Zhao Weihuang didn't have such a strong sense of righteousness as Liu Zhixing, his demeanor and behavior were very normal, only the indelible spirit of a military general would not be lost no matter what.
After hearing Li Ye's words, Zhao Weihuang snorted coldly: "The military strategists are different from those scholars who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but actually have a deeper mind and a vicious heart. As a result. What family, country and world are all just rhetoric, but when it comes to the power that concerns one's own future, those things can be discarded."
"In the final analysis, part of the reason for the chaos in the world is the king's stupidity, and the other half is because of these scholars. We military monks fight in troubled times. In the final analysis, we still need to clean up the mess left by these stupid kings and scholars. Although King An is against the sky , it is impossible to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty, but it is not because of lack of benevolence. In fact, King An is already benevolent enough. This is something everyone in the world knows. Confucian scholars do not admit it, but our military strategists will not deny it."
These remarks made Li Ye a little interested. Although the words were not entirely true, they also had some truth. It can be seen that the military school and the Confucian school are not pleasing to anyone, as if they have different hatreds.
The scholar thinks that warriors are vulgar, ignorant of loyalty and shame, but they have thousands of troops in their hands, which is the source of disasters in the world, and they should be severely suppressed. But the military monks feel that the scholar is hypocritical and black-hearted, and he fights for his own self-interest under the guise of helping the society all day long. In fact, he can't do anything, and he is a moth of the society.
Li Ye asked with a smile: "It seems that you are also a general of a military strategist. Can you tell Gu Wang why the strategist chose Li Maozhen?"
As Li Maozhen annexed Wang Chongrong and attacked Chang'an, the details of being supported by military strategists were exposed. This matter is not a secret to the princes.
Zhao Weihuang took it for granted: "Because of my temper."
Li Ye was slightly taken aback, this reason was too rash.
But if you think about it carefully, the reason is not that simple. As for temper, it is easy to say, but it is very difficult in reality. Li Maozhen's behavior is probably very popular among soldiers. What this guy wants to do, he seldom covers it up, and he doesn't lie to himself, he just does it simply.
Li Ye looked at Zhao Weihuang more pleasingly: "I heard that you brought five generals, two generals?"
Zhao Weihuang looked at Li Ye and said, "Now I'm in the hands of King An. If I want to kill or cut, I will follow King An. However, King An also knows that no one is in a hurry to beg for death except those Confucian scholars. I can fight for King An."
Li Ye smiled even more: "You are straightforward."
Zhao Weihuang said: "The world is impermanent, and people can't help themselves in troubled times. Even if the military monks are going to die, they will die on the battlefield. Although King An does not have the luck of Zhongxing Datang, he is a well-known warrior after all, and he can follow King An to fight. , it doesn’t count as humiliating our cultivation!”
Li Ye nodded: "Although the lonely king is not sure whether you will do things secretly, but since you dare to vote for the lonely king, the lonely king dares to use you, come with me."
Zhao Weihuang clasped his fists together: "King Xie An!"
Li Ye took Wang Jingchong, Zhao Weihuang and others, left the mountain Taoist temple, flew into the sky, and soon arrived in Zhenzhou City.
After waiting for a day, Pinglu's army rode 10,000 paces across the Tuoshui River and arrived at the city of Zhenzhou. Wang Jingchong also cooperated very much. According to Li Ye's instruction, he ordered the Chengde army to sit in the barracks, and handed over the city defense of Zhenzhou to the Pinglu army.
Wang Jingchong had to cooperate, he didn't want to die. Besides, even if he died, the Chengde army might not be able to stop Li Ye, and in the end, he would still be under Li Ye's command. Who let Li Ye get the news early enough to capture them all
If Li Ye arrived a few days late, when Zhao Weihuang, Liu Xingshen and others took their positions and presided over Chengde's military affairs, Wang Jingchong could still hide in the barracks to avoid being assassinated by Li Ye. But now, all this has become a luxury.
The first thing after Chengde's "surrender" was to post a notice announcing that Chengde would belong to Li Ye from now on. Punish the treacherous ministers, Ping Huangchao, Li Ye has long been famous, and the people of Chengde are very happy to know that King An is now in charge, and many people even rush to tell each other.
After Li Ye took in a group of common people in Chengde, he left some monster monks in Zhenzhou, and continued north without stopping.
In the north, there are also two feudal towns, Yiwu Jiedushi in Dingzhou and Lulong Jiedushi in Youzhou.
The Yiwu Jiedu Envoy was relatively weak, and Li Ye didn't think that the other party could make any noise, but the Youzhou Lulong Army was very strong. Because it is the northernmost feudal town and has the responsibility of guarding the border, Lu Long's army has often fought against the grassland people, and there are many generals in the army.
However, Liu Rengong, the envoy of the Lulong Army in Youzhou, actually had a good friendship with Li Ye.
When Li Ye was still in Chang'an in the early years, he first dealt with powerful ministers Kang Junli, Wei Baoheng and others. At that time, Kang Junli was out of the town of Hedong, and he meant to control the Hebei feudal town. He had many conflicts with Li Keyong's father Li Guochang.
At that time, Li Guochang's power was expanding, threatening the surrounding vassals and towns. After Li Ye attacked and killed Kang Junli, in order to pour dirty water on Li Guochang, he cooperated with Lulong Jiedushi in Youzhou, and later became an official in Youzhou. come and go.
Although Li Ye came out of Zhenpinglu, although it was far away from Youzhou, the two sides had been exchanging letters. Liu Rengong relied on Li Ye's power, and Li Ye also had a lot of win over Liu Rengong for his future plans—that is, his current plans. Now Li Ye is heading north to Youzhou, and he really wants to resolve the Lulong army issue peacefully. After all, Lu Longjun has made great achievements in defending the border and has made continuous contributions to the stability of the Central Plains.

...
It is day and night, the mansion of Jiedushi in Youzhou.
In a dimly lit courtyard, the sound of a man's heavy breathing, mixed with a woman's soft and suppressed cry, accompanied by the creaking of the bed, has an indescribable meaning in the dark night.
The sound lasted for half an hour before it ended. Not long after, the door was gently opened, and a young man hurried out of the room while wearing a belt.
"My friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave? What's the point if you stay here tonight? Your useless father is having a feast with those officials now." The white and tender lotus root arms stretched out from the door, He took the young man's hand.
Hearing this soft voice, the young man's bones, which were already much lighter, were about to melt, but he still pressed down the woman's arm, "The feast will end at some point, we will have a long time to come, why rush for this moment ? Besides, when the old man is gone, we can have fun day and night, not bad for this night."
The graceful and charming woman leaned on the door frame, only wrapped in a gauze dress, her fragrant shoulders were half exposed, and her delicate body was as boneless as autumn water. She scolded: "You are a coward, according to my family, your father..."
Before she finished speaking, she just stood there in a daze, looking behind the young man in horror,
The young man turned around in astonishment, and found an old man in black robe standing at the moon gate, staring at him with an angry face. And beside the opponent, there are several powerful monks.
"Father... Father?!" The young man Liu Shouguang turned pale with shock, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
"You rebellious son! How dare you commit adultery with your concubine, I will kill you today!" The old man Liu Rengong picked up a long stick and hit Liu Shouguang.
Liu Shouguang was frightened out of his wits, he could clearly see that the long stick in Liu Rengong's hand was a magic weapon of high rank! With the cultivation base of the opponent's Realm Realm, if the long stick hits him with all his strength, he will be crippled even if he doesn't die.
Realizing that his father had murderous intentions, Liu Shouguang fled in a panic.
However, his cultivation base was a little low, and in the end he was beaten several times by Liu Rengong. Fortunately, under the fury of the other party, his mood was out of balance, and there was no way to make a move. After vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood, he escaped from the mansion proudly.
Seeing Liu Shouguang fleeing, Liu Rengong was so angry that he threw away his stick and turned to look at the woman.
"Husband!" the woman cried out coquettishly, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, "Husband, spare your life!"
"You shameless slut!" Liu Rengong swung out his palm, and the blow of the palm directly wiped out the woman.
After Liu Shouguang escaped from the Jiedu envoy's mansion, he did not go back to his own house. He dared not, for fear that Liu Rengong would send someone to arrest him.
While escaping on the street, he met a patrolling general of Lu Longjun on the way. He hurried over, knelt down in front of him, and cried bitterly: "Uncle, save me!"
The general didn't know why, so he quickly helped him up: "What happened?"
Liu Shouguang wanted to lie, but he hesitated for a while, and he still told the truth in shock under the other party's words and questions. The general's face changed, "You are courting death!"
"Uncle, save me!" Liu Shouguang knelt on the ground and hugged the opponent's leg. "My mother is dead, so I can only rely on uncle now!"
The general's face was cloudy and uncertain, and it changed for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth: "Liu Shuai is old, and he has not thought of making progress these years. He has seen the chaos in the world, but he has been indifferent. This has already made many generals dissatisfied. Let's just do nothing. Contact General of the army, Liu Shuai is abolished, and you are appointed as Jiedu envoy!"
Liu Shouguang was overjoyed: "Uncle has a good plan, let's do it like this!"
