The soldiers and horses of the five towns in Hebei were divided into three groups.
On the east road, more than 100,000 soldiers from the Weibo, Chengde, and Yiwu armies gathered in Wei County. According to Li Ye's arrangement, the purpose was to cross the Yellow River to support the Tianping Army.
The strategic goal of the first stage is to deal with the Yicheng Army in Huazhou, and then join the Pinglu and Henghai armies to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Xuanwu Army that invaded the three states of Tianping.
In the middle of the road, more than 100,000 soldiers from the Wei Bo, Chengde, and Yiwu armies gathered in the southwest of Weizhou to threaten the Heyang Army on the other side of the Yellow River—if the Heyang Army can be defeated, they can enter the Xuanwu Army from the flank to rule Bianzhou. state.
On the west road, the Hedong Army and Zhaoyi Army formed the third army and assembled in Qinzhou and Zezhou. On the one hand, they were guarding against Li Maozhen's Hezhong Army, and on the other hand, they were preparing to cross the river to attack Luoyang, the eastern capital.
——Or seek to attack Bianzhou from the west of Xuanwu Army, or directly detour to the south, capture the territory of Xuzhou Zhongwu Army, and encircle Bianzhou with the main force in the direction of Tianping.
After Li Ye dealt with the farce of the generals and schools of the three armies robbing food, he called the generals of the three armies to hold a simple military meeting in the Weibo army camp outside Wei County.
Since he came here, of course he had to guide the army's actions and let the main generals of the three towns meet him.
Li Ye held a long pole in the big tent of the military conference, pointed to the military map hanging on the side, and after explaining the above military deployment, he returned to the command post and sat down again.
He said with a relaxed smile: "Our goal along the way is first to deal with the Huazhou Yicheng Army. The Yicheng Army only has two states, and the number of troops is not too many, roughly half of ours, but the soldiers are not invincible. "
"Gu Wang's previous idea was to go ashore in Puzhou and join a part of the Tianping Army to attack Huazhou. However, when the lonely king was in Yunzhou, he got the news that the Yicheng Army had assembled in Weinan County, which was close to Puzhou, and dispatched A large number of scouts entered Puzhou, with the most obvious intention—to intercept us from crossing the river and landing, or even attack them halfway through."
He glanced around the faces of the generals and asked, "What do you all think we should do next?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuanqing, Chengde Army Jiedu envoy, suddenly got up.
Chen Yuanqing's movements were so sudden and quick that the general next to him almost jumped away in fright.
Chen Yuanqing clasped his fists, threw the ground and said loudly: "The Yicheng army is nothing to worry about. Chengde army, please be the vanguard of the army and take the lead to cross the river and land on the shore!"
Before Li Ye could make a statement, Xie Yi, the envoy of the Wei Bo Army, stood up, "We, Wei Bo Army, are fighting in this town. How can the Chengde Army do the hard work of the vanguard?"
As he spoke, he clasped his fists to Li Ye: "Your Highness, I, Wei Bojun, and the Yicheng Army have confronted each other for a long time. This time, the vanguard crossing the river, please leave it to the General. If the matter fails, the General is willing to come and see you!"
Li Ye smiled without saying a word.
The statement of these two people is not just shouting and shouting, after all, they are competing for the specific vanguard position. What Pioneer has to face is destined to be a dangerous beach landing battle.
Seeing that Chen Yuanqing and Xie Yi were fighting with each other red-faced, Wang Rong, the governor of the Yiwu Army, ignored him at all, and immediately felt very humiliated and looked down upon by others.
He immediately stood up and clasped his fists at Li Ye and said, "His Royal Highness, Chen Shuai and Xie Shuai are busy arguing, and probably don't have time to think about how to deal with the enemy. How about handing over the important task of vanguard to the Yiwu Army? To tell you the truth, Your Highness, the last general has already studied it." It has been a long time since the Yicheng army, this battle will definitely win a complete victory!"
When Chen Yuanqing and Xie Yi saw that Wang Rong took the opportunity to make a small move, they said that the other party was a villain.
Li Ye shook his head and sighed, feeling a little distressed in his heart.
The three towns rushed to the battle with high fighting spirit, and there was a reason for it: the news of Shangguan Qingcheng's victory in Yuanju had spread to Wei County this morning.
Li Ye thought to himself: "Wei Bo's army has a local advantage and is the most powerful, but the Chengde army and the Yiwu army have not fought against me yet, so we need to give them a chance to perform... Who should we choose?"
The tent became more and more lively. When Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, and Xie Yi fought together, the generals of the three towns couldn't sit still anymore, and they all stood up and shouted. There was no shortage of words that belittled the other party and exalted oneself, which soon became full of gunpowder.
Many generals' eyes widened and their voices became louder and louder. If their strength could not be controlled, they tended to overturn the roof of the tent.
Li Ye got a little impatient with the quarrel, and patted the table: "Why are you arguing? You want to be the first one, don't you? It's simple, each of your three armies sends elites, each chooses a place to land, and it's fine to land in Puzhou. It doesn't matter if you go directly into Huazhou, and act at the same time. Whoever defeats the Yicheng army who intercepts you first will get the vanguard!"
The generals were startled at first, but they didn't expect Li Ye to say such a thing. This seems a bit irresponsible
Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, and Xie Yi were overjoyed very quickly, and they looked at Li Ye nervously and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, are you serious?"
The three of them thought very clearly that the Huazhou Volunteer Army had a total of 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. If the three towns attacked at the same time, the opponent would definitely be in a hurry to deal with it. Moreover, sending troops in this way is also a surprise strategy, not to mention that the Tianping Army will definitely respond when the time comes, it can be said to be foolproof.
After all, there is a gap in strength between the two sides, and they don't need to worry too much at all.
Li Ye stood up, "No joke, it's settled!"
Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, and Xie Yi hurriedly clasped their fists together: "The last general will obey the general's orders!"
After speaking, they glanced at each other, staring at each other.
The three each snorted coldly, and said in their hearts: "If you have made a vanguard military service, you will be able to secure the magic weapon bestowed by His Highness!"
...
Li Ye didn't intend to stay in Wei County all the time, he came over to have a look, called the generals to meet and guide the next action, and then he could go back. After all, Shangguan Qingcheng defeated Zhu Yin, and the next move of the main force of the Pinglu army still needed him to decide according to the changes in the enemy's situation.
The distance between Caozhou and Wei County is not too far, it doesn't take him an hour to go back and forth.
Before leaving Wei County, Li Ye called Zhang Wence, and in front of everyone, promoted him to be the deputy envoy to the north of the Central Plains, and to be in charge of the transportation of grain, fodder, supplies, etc., so that he could better display his talents.
Back in Tianping territory, Li Ye went straight to Yuanju County.
Langya Du and 20,000 Buqi were the vanguards and won the victory over Zhu Yin's troops of the Xuanwu Army. Li Ye felt that he should go to express his condolences.
This can boost morale more effectively, and it can also make other vassals realize that Li Ye pays close attention to the fighting situation of various ministries. This time an army of one million is fighting, and they are divided into several groups in different positions. This move by Li Ye can inspire those troops who are far away from him to fight harder.
When he came to Yuanju County, the first thing Li Ye saw was the company camp outside the city. The Pinglu Army's 20,000 cavalry plus 8,000 Spikes, as well as the 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses supported by Caozhou, plus the original Yuanju County garrison, amounted to more than 60,000 troops.
The main force of the Pinglu Army, the main force of the Tianping Army, and the Henghai Navy are on their way.
It was not yet noon, and there were not many soldiers active in the Spike Army camp. Except for the on-duty and patrolling teams, there were almost no people to be seen. The sea of white military tents looked extraordinarily peaceful.

Although the fighting situation was not intense yesterday, the pursuit continued for most of the night, and it was almost dawn after the soldiers retreated. The soldiers who fought a battle built a camp, and just fell asleep after eating.
However, on a school field, Li Ye saw two soldiers practicing against each other.
They are strong and strong, and they are so fast that ordinary people can't see them. The battle situation is correspondingly very fierce. Sometimes the waves of spiritual energy spread out, and sometimes they gather into the wind and explode.
If he hadn't seen this battle on the school grounds, and just watched the ferocity of the battle, Li Ye would have thought that these two people had a sworn feud.
Li Ye landed on the spotting platform, watching the two people practice with great interest, a smile soon appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he would give some advice from time to time to guide them in their combat skills.
The two of them have very high comprehension, and they can see through a little bit. Whoever Li Ye guides will quickly gain the upper hand.
Not long after, Li Ye said with a smile: "Although the realm of these two little guys has not improved very fast, their combat skills have become more and more refined. On this point, ordinary monks in the real world can't take advantage of it."
What he said was thoughtless, as if he was talking to the air in front of him.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him picked up the conversation: "When Liu Xiaohei and Riwen first entered Prince An's Mansion, they hadn't accomplished Qi training yet, and it's only been five or six years now, and they've both reached the high level of Qi training. Duan. That is to say, His Highness can say that their realm is not improving fast."
The person who spoke was none other than Shangguan Qingcheng. She didn't know when she had arrived behind Li Ye, she was wearing armor and standing with a knife, like a close guard.
Li Ye laughed: "Liu Xiaohei is more talented than Liu Dazheng. Riwen and Li Zhenyi are really incomparable. One is a military strategist, and the other is a Confucian scholar. But According to me, Riven is almost a warrior?"
When Liu Dazheng was living in seclusion and blacksmithing, Liu Xiaohei was by his side. When Li Zhen met Riwen on the streets of Chang'an, it was the time when he was so downcast that he had nowhere to stay.
The boys and girls of the past are now... still boys and girls. They were all only twelve or thirteen years old.
The corners of Shangguan Qingcheng's red lips were raised, and she made a knowing smile, although there was no smile on her face: "Commander Song asked for someone from me a few days ago, and wanted to take Riwen back. The commander said that she Having trained Riven for five or six years, it is not to send her to the army."
Li Ye waved his hand, "I don't want to get involved in this matter, you can break it up yourself... Your military newspaper said that you captured Zhu Yin, how is he doing now? I'm going to see him."
As a military general, Li Ye always tried to instigate rebellion.
"I got some injuries, but it's not a serious problem. I'll let someone bring him here."
"No, I'll go see him."
After a while, Li Ye came to a heavily guarded military tent and saw Zhu Wen's number one general. The other party was meditating cross-legged on the Hu bed, and there were wine and food on the desk in front of him.
After Shangguan Qingcheng captured Zhu Yin, he didn't tie him up, but treated him with courtesy. Although the guards are tight at the moment, others are also ordered not to disturb for no reason.
There is not only Shangguan Qingcheng's heroic complex of cherishing heroes, but also the reason why she knows that Li Ye cherishes good talents.
Li Ye glanced at the food and drink on the table... Zhu Yin didn't eat it, it seemed that the other party had a tough temper, even though he was defeated, he still had integrity.
"It's not easy to recruit such a general." Li Ye was thinking.
Sensing someone entering the account, Zhu Yin opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Li Ye who came, his expression changed, and before Li Ye could say anything, he got up, walked around the desk and came to the tent to salute: "The last general, Zhu Yin, pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince An!"
