Li Po shook his head and said: "As you said, we have enough troops and food. Who can stop us nearby? How can we be trapped in the clouds?"
Li Bi was slightly angry, "Since I can't go here, I can't go there either. Does your husband still want to take me to be a Taixing thief?"
Li Po rolled his eyelids, "I was thinking that being a bandit would be so free and easy, but I'm afraid you don't want to be this bandit."
"Okay, look, you are getting more and more tempered now. You get angry after just a few jokes, and you are the one who leads the army... Let's talk about business, Yunnei is known as the portal of Hebei. Since
We have occupied the front door, so why not go inside and have a look?"
"Hebei has been in chaos for more than a day or two. There have been a lot of attacks from this king and that king. We are officers and soldiers, how can we just sit idly by and ignore it?"
Li Bi's eyes widened immediately. She was not angry, but obviously shocked.
After a while, he said: "This... this, Hebei is a bit far away, right?"
Indeed, although Yunnei is called the gateway to Hebei, it is actually not close to Hebei. It is not only separated by Hengshan Mountain in front, but also blocked by Taihang Mountain in the back.
In other words, this portal is only equivalent to the main gate, and there are many more portals inside. It is not like Li Bi has not walked through it from Yunnei to Hebei. He walked for many days. It is such a long way to lead troops to Hebei to compete with others.
, Let’s not mention that the name is unfair, but it is also a taboo for military strategists to attack far away.
At this moment, Li Po no longer had the playful smile he had before, his eyes flashed with an unfathomable light, and when he spoke again, his tone was firm and stubborn, even unquestionable.
"When Yang Xin came, I talked with him. Do you know what he said about the counties in Hebei?"
"He said that there were actually many officers and soldiers in Hebei, but they all gathered in Youzhou and watched the rebels scurry south. The few tiger generals who stayed behind in Zhuo County were all incompatible with each other. Guo Xuan, the general governor of Zhuo County, was killed by the thieves. In fact,
It has nothing to do with these people."
"But these people respect themselves as soldiers, but they are not very peaceful inside. Luo Yi, Zhao Shizhu, He Lanyi and others are scheming and scheming, and they are much more vicious than the two in Mayi City."
"With this look, let alone asking them to send troops to suppress bandits, look at it. Yang Yichen went to Hebei and Shandong to suppress bandits, but he still came to us to borrow troops. Haha, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Li Bi was now full of suspicion. When he heard this, he couldn't help but interjected: "Does your husband want to lead his troops to help Mr. Yang go to Hebei to quell the chaos?"
Li Po shook his head directly, "You didn't hear some of the things Yang Xin said when he was here, so how could you still say this?"
Li Bi pursed her lips and endured it. In fact, this was the first time that Li Po had seriously blamed her for her lack of knowledge, which made her a little aggrieved, but not too angry. Apparently she was habitually waiting for her husband's persuasion.
Li Po was still talking, "Yang Yichen led his troops to quell the chaos. Even Yang Xin, his grandson, felt that it was a futile effort. It was just a depletion of personnel. How much hope can others place on him?"
"No matter how successful the bandits are, they are just another Zhang Xutuo... Nowadays, the chaos in Hebei and Shandong is civil unrest, so to speak. If you want to calm down such large-scale civil unrest, you must not only have soldiers and horses in your hands.
, but also food.”
"As long as you can be ruthless and open a warehouse to store grain, it will be easy for the civil unrest in Hebei and Shandong to be quelled, but does Yang Yichen dare to do that? He is under orders from Dongdu, and even the military rations are controlled by others, so he dares to open a large warehouse without permission? He is so
Bian opened a warehouse, believe it or not, those people in Dongdu can kill his whole family."
At this point, Li Po burst out laughing. "At this time of year, those who grit their teeth and refuse to give food to the hungry are loyal ministers. Anyone who dares to open a warehouse to release food is mostly a traitor..."
At this time, Li Po glanced at Li Bi, and there were some words he did not say. If Li Jing could have opened a warehouse to release food, so many refugees would not have starved to death. He was one of the refugees who suffered deeply.
This is a very ironic thing. People who are loyal to the court dare not open positions, but those who are deeply ambitious have no such scruples. In troubled times, you can't count the variety of strange phenomena.
Li Bihui misunderstood and still nodded in agreement, "So, my husband and I are almost both traitors and traitors now."
Li Po smiled and did not take the opportunity to say a few bad words about his father-in-law to stimulate his wife's anger as usual.
He changed the topic and continued: "That is to say, we fought hard with the Turks and saved the lives of the people in this place. This Yunnei place has been stable until now, and it is indispensable to our contribution."
"But if you ask the current governor of Mayi or the one who stayed in Jinyang, they will definitely say that we support our troops and respect ourselves, but we are actually members of the rebellious ministers. Our achievements are regarded as sins in the eyes of others, so
To this day, I have never seen a grain of food delivered from the south..."
"In other words, Yang Yichen led the troops to suppress the bandits, and that's it. We can lend him some troops and horses. But once we lead the troops into Hebei, Yang Yichen might be the first to make trouble for us. He also said
What can you say to help Mr. Yang suppress the bandits?"
Li Bi was so dizzy after hearing what he said, she couldn't help but said: "What does that husband mean?"
Li Po took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and then said quietly: "Wait and see, the world is in such chaos now, opportunities will appear every moment, let's just choose the best among them."
"If possible, what I want is Zhuojun... It is said that there are mountains of grain and grass there... Occupying Zhuojun will also strangle the throat of Hebei, and it will be east and west of Yunnei. Although it is farther away, it will
You can communicate back and forth.”
"Once Zhuojun is captured, food and food for the soldiers will not be a problem. There will be war horses in Yunnei and soldiers in Hebei... At that time, no matter who it is, they will have to listen to our voices."
"Of course, we have to choose a good time, and we have to do... Well, the teacher is famous. I sent Chen Yuan out just for this. Now the Flying Fox Road should be in our hands, with a Lingqiu in the middle.
, but now that Lingqiu is in ruins, there probably aren’t many people left.”
Not surprisingly, Li Bi was convinced by him again, and such a long-term vision made her feel a little surprised. The words "Xiongcailuoluo" appeared in her mind instantly.
In fact, she overestimated this guy again.
Li Po's behavior has always been to focus on the present, and then look forward.
Everything stems from what Yang Xin said after coming to Yunnei.
The precious land of Zhuojun was unfortunately occupied by a group of rats.
Is Zhuojun that fat? The three northern expeditions all started from Zhuojun. The people of Zhuojun must have been badly ruined, but it was really too fat.
Because during the three northern expeditions, a large amount of food and grass was stored in Zhuojun. As long as a little bit was left each time, Zhuojun would be fat.
Otherwise, the Hebei and Shandong rebels would not have repeatedly attacked Zhuojun, and they would have gone there smelling the fishy smell. However, every time they faced hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rebels, the Zhuojun defenders remained unfazed.
Be busy and win.
What they relied on was sufficient food and grass and weapons.
Therefore, as long as the Zhuojun garrison remains in chaos, no one in the north can touch them.
Guo Xuan suppressed the bandits and was defeated and killed. This was actually the first internal conflict among the Zhuojun garrison, which greatly damaged their strength. Without Guo Xuan in charge, Luo Yi, Zhao Shizhu and others would not have much restraint in fighting.
Already.
Li Po's attempt was based on Yang Xin's description of Zhuojun.
Therefore, borrowing troops to go out is not only to show favor to a big boss like the Yang family, but also to explore the way.
What Li Po is waiting for is actually nothing else. He is waiting for Yang Yichen to leave Hebei, or for news of civil strife in Zhuojun. As long as either of these two come true, he will lead his troops to march into Zhuojun.
Mother, if you bring all the food and weapons from the Zhuojun granary back to Yunnei, then this experience will not be in vain.
That night, the couple talked very late and roughly made a decision.
In fact, to put it nicely, the two couples have the power and can do whatever they want, but to put it at worst, such a matter that determines the lives and deaths of millions of people is decided between two people. It can only be said that Heng'an Town
There is no one available.
And the final decision was nothing more than an equal word.
Waiting for the news from Hebei, we have to wait and see if there will be any changes in Mayi.
But after this conversation, the couple lost interest in Ma Yi Chengxun.
At this point, Li Po's view was actually very accurate. There was no danger to defend Mayi. If he had captured Mayi, he had to go south to Yanmen to find room for strategic maneuvering.
As for Yanmen Fortress, hundreds of thousands of Turks have never captured it. Their few men and horses are really not enough.
What's especially important is... Shichu Wuming.
The identity of the officers and soldiers is not very easy to use now, but no one is willing to wear the title of rebel thief easily. Although everyone is thinking about rebellion nowadays, as long as one has the official position of the Sui Dynasty
People, as long as they think clearly, no one will want to get involved with rebels.
This is the so-called righteousness.
This thing is somewhat intended to be both a watch and a memorial arch, but it is a very important rule in troubled times. Big figures recognize it, military generals recognize it, and even the common people all over the world recognize it.
The grass-headed kings who rose up in rebellion only wanted to have a name by proclaiming themselves emperors and kings, but without exception, they would be excluded from this rule.
You don't have the aura of talent at all. If you force yourself to do it, death and reputation will be inevitable. Therefore, the rebel leaders have become stepping stones for others.
Until there is such a person who takes up the rightful position, and then he becomes the destiny.
Li Po didn't have so many ideas, but unconsciously, both husband and wife were making efforts in this regard. This is the impact of rules on people.
As a result, they opened an insurmountable ravine with the rebels.
The reason why officers and soldiers are officers and soldiers, and the reason why bandits are bandits, is the difference.
