    ps: First of all, I would like to thank Brother Zhou of Eagle for his unremitting reward. I am ashamed that Brother Zhou is still encouraging me after several days of interruption.  By the way, I have been ill recently, and I am ill at ease. I just ask for your understanding, brothers.  This book will not be tj. If there are any interruptions, there must be a reason.  When Li Sizhao returned to his base camp, he immediately summoned his eldest son, Li Jichou, and his second son, Li Jitao, for discussion.  Li Sizhao had several sons, but only these two were adults. Among them, Li Jichou had followed him the longest and was very popular with the military. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the successor of King Zheng in the future.  After Li Jitao returned from Fan Yang, Li Sizhao assigned an army to him to command. In less than half a year, it was ready and had the spirit of a strong army. Therefore, Li Sizhao also asked him to go out with the army this time.  It¡¯s just that Li Jitao was a little reluctant to attack the Yan army, which made Li Sizhao unhappy. Li Sizhao¡¯s idea was that his second son was still too young and still needed experience. At least he should understand that the benevolence of women cannot be tolerated in the struggle for hegemony among princes.  When the father and son met, Li Sizhao explained in detail the discussion with Li Siyuan and the differences between the two parties. He finally said: "Jinyang is rich and located in the center of Hedong. It is the foundation for hegemony. Gushi is unwilling to abandon it. Therefore,  , I want to discuss it again with the King of Han and hand over Yizhou and Qinzhou to the King of Han. After the war, the two states of Zelu will also be under the jurisdiction of the King of Han in order to seek Jinyang. I don¡¯t know what you two want? " Li Jichou?  Neither he nor Li Jitao spoke, but looked at each other in silence.  After a while, Li Sizhao said again: "But in the remote areas of Yizhou and Qinzhou, I am afraid that the King of Han is not enough, and I am thinking about it alone. I want to use grain and fodder as a tool to force the King of Han to submit. Do you two think it is feasible?" Li  Jichuo suddenly said: "My uncle is suspicious. If the father threatens him with food and fodder, he may cause trouble." Li Siyuan was the chief eunuch among the adopted sons of the old Jin King Li Keyong, so Li Jicuan and Li Jitao always called him uncle.  Li Siyuan's temperament is not like that of Li Sizhao. He is the kind of person who keeps things to himself and has many doubts when considering problems.  The division of the three kings of Hedong into Jin was not only because Li Siyuan was very wary of Hebei, but also related to his temperament.  At that time, King Liang casually threw over several edicts for the title of king.  The intention was to create discord between the three Hedong generals and Li Keyong. Logically speaking, King Liang's move was quite obvious, but the effect was excellent.  Li Keyong summoned Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei to return to Jinyang to "report on their duties". It was precisely because Li Siyuan was too suspicious that he conspired with Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei to delay their return to Jinyang, which finally made Li Keyong and the three generals suspicious.  More and more.  Therefore, when Li Jichang said this, Li Sizhao felt that it made sense. He sighed and asked, "According to Dalang's wishes, what can Ru Zhi do?" Li Jichang thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "The east of the river is surrounded by dangerous mountains and rivers. We are one with ourselves.  , How could there be any talk of two masters? Father, why not take advantage of it" Li Sizhao was startled, stared at Li Jichou and said: "Why is it that the three kings are divided into Jin, but they still belong to the Hedong lineage?  If we work together to fight against the enemy, how can we stand in the future? Moreover, the King of Jin was defeated and died yesterday. Now that only the King of Han is left, how can we fight against each other when we are of the same mind?  My father had his heart set on Hedong, but my uncle had no such intention. It was his uncle who advocated the attack on Yan. After the small defeat, it was his uncle who was afraid of him. It was his uncle who sent troops to sneak attack without telling everyone. After the defeat, he was still his uncle  Is it my uncle who will seize Hedong in the future?" These words were so heartbreaking that Li Sizhao's head was pounding.  Li Sizhao thought for a long time.  Finally, his heart moved, and hesitantly said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with" Li Jichen smiled and said: "It's easy, we just need to do it tonight. Use speed to defeat slowness, be prepared and take advantage of unpreparedness. Destroy this dynasty food, harvest  The remaining army in Hedong was defeated overnight! Tomorrow, the army will withdraw to Wuxiang, occupy the throat of Wuxiang, and sit back and watch the decisive battle between Liang and Yan. If they advance, they can capture Luzhou, and if they retreat, they can secure Jinyang. From then on, Hedong's surname is Zheng.  !" Li Sizhao looked at Li Jichen who was talking eloquently, feeling relieved and secretly thinking that we have a child.  He then looked at Li Jitao, who was always silent next to him, and asked, "What do you think, Erlang?" Li Jitao was absent-minded. He made a sound, nodded, and then shook his head, which made Li Sizhao secretly angry.  Li Sizhao ignored Li Jitao and had a secret discussion with Li Jichang.  At dawn, Zheng Jun quietly moved towards the Korean army camp, which was only separated by a mountain ridge. When they arrived at the camp, the army shouted and rushed in. However, it was an empty camp with only dozens of old soldiers in it.  Sound sleep.  Li Sizhao was shocked, thinking that he had been tricked, and quickly ordered his troops to withdraw from the Korean camp.  When they retreated, they found that it was a false alarm and there was no ambush.  Li Sizhao asked the captured Korean veterans, but learned that Li Siyuan had already led his army to retreat to Wuxiang in the first half of the night.  This moment really made Li Sizhao so angry that his lungs exploded.  "Father, this old man is going to rob Jinyang! This thief dares to ignore the enemy and instead wants to steal our escape. He is really a shameless villain! Father, we must not sit back and watch, otherwise the foundation  No guarantee!" Li Jichuan said angrily, but when he said this, he forgotWhat he did was more ruthless than Li Siyuan.  "That's right, I'm sending an order to the entire army to pack up their gear immediately and withdraw at night!  No, we'll leave at noon! Miao Jilie, I swear that I will not stand alone with you!" Li Sizhao said bitterly.  Zheng Jun left the Shiyu Camp in a hurry. In order to rush for time, he only carried simple luggage and provisions, and abandoned all other supplies.  Li Sizhao originally wanted to leave a rear army to stop the Yan army, but at this time, which military leader was willing to stay?  After asking several times, everyone remained silent.  Li Jichuan asked himself to be the rear army, and vowed to fight well and never lose the reputation of Zheng's army. He also said that at this critical moment, father and son are close to each other, and only he, the son, would stay, and he would supervise the army to death.  , if it had been anyone else, I¡¯m afraid they wouldn¡¯t have tried their best.  Li Sizhao was greatly moved and felt that his son was really sensible.  But after much deliberation, he realized that he really couldn't live without this resourceful son, so he rejected Li Jicheng's suggestion and simply left Li Jitao behind, telling him that he only needed to hold off the Yan army for three days before they could evacuate.  Many of the elite troops of the Zheng army followed Zhou Dewei and were killed on the battlefield north of Xiangyuan. There were not many troops left, and Li Jitao himself only had 800 men under his command.  Watching the army leave Shiyu and disappear among the rugged mountain roads, Li Jitao suddenly felt an inexplicable melancholy.  Li Jitao placed his soldiers on several highlands facing the enemy in front. He simply issued a military order and asked all ministries to hold off for three days. Then he returned to the camp and did not come out all day.  There was a lot of movement in the Shiyu camp, which naturally alarmed the Yan army who was confronting them not far away.  Zhou Kan ordered all ministries to be on alert, and then mobilized several battalions to attack several hills in front of the Shiyu camp to test the reaction of the other side.  After a trial attack, the Yan army immediately discovered the weakness of the defenders, so they flew to report to Zhou Kan.  Based on the battle reports from all parties, the Xiangyuan battlefield headquarters judged that Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan had probably withdrawn north, and immediately ordered to increase the intensity of the attack.  Li Jitao's troops stationed at several highlands in front of the Shiyu Camp were different from other Zheng Army troops. They had a bit of the Yan Army's atmosphere. After this defeat, they actually defended the top of the mountain until the sun went down, but the losses were not small.  When the battle reached dusk, the Yan army retreated. The officers guarding the hills breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gathered under Li Jitao's tent to ask for instructions on how to defend the battle in the next step. In fact, they felt powerless and felt that they could no longer defend.  Li Jitao was already drunk in the tent. There was no way to defend the war. He was fed several bowls of sobering soup by several officers. He finally seemed to wake up but got up and vomited all over the floor.  When everyone was at a loss, they heard Li Jitao burping from wine and murmuring: "Defend? How to defend? The Yan army is so strong, but how to defend? If you can't defend, you surrender" Early the next morning, when the Yan army pulled up,  When the catapult came, before the catapult could be fired, several hills fell.  Li Jitao became a prisoner while he was sleeping. Zhou Kan smelled the stench of alcohol on his body, frowned and shook his head.  Wuxiang is not far from Shiyu, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, so the march is slow.  However, under Li Sizhao's desperate urging, Zheng Jun arrived at Wuxiang on the fourth day. Seeing the Wuxiang city from a distance, Li Sizhao ordered the army to stop.  Zheng Jun's sentry secretly approached Wuxiang, but saw that everything on the city was as before, with Zhang Gui's general's flag on the top of the city.  When Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei raised their troops to the south, they left three generals to garrison Wuxiang. Among them, Li Shaohong was Zhou Dewei's general, and Tang Li and Zhang Gui belonged to Li Sizhao respectively.  The sentinel looked at the city head for a long time, and vaguely recognized that an officer stationed on the city was an acquaintance. He then bravely went around and asked the city head.  Soon, Zhang Gui appeared at the top of the city and explained to the sentry that Li Siyuan entered the city yesterday and wanted to deceive the enemy, but he and Tang Li saw through it and had beheaded him.  The sentinel was overjoyed and immediately reported back to Li Sizhao. Li Jichang was afraid that this was Zhang Gui's trick after he surrendered Li Siyuan, so he asked Zhang Gui to bring Li Siyuan's head to see him personally.  Zhang Gui did not hesitate and left Wuxiang in person with the heads of Li Siyuan, Ren Wan, Li Shaohong and others to greet Li Sizhao.  Li Sizhao was overjoyed when he saw these heads, so he ordered his army to enter the city. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Another surprise attack to defraud the city. How stupid do you have to be for this to be exposed?  While Li Sizhao and Li Jichou were thinking about the wonderful prospect of monopolizing Hedong, they asked Zhang Gui about the process with a smile.  Zhang Gui immediately told the story vividly and very interestingly, which aroused the laughter of Zheng Jun from Li Sizhao and Li Jichen to the military leaders from all walks of life.  When they arrived at the gate of Wuxiang City, Zhang Gui led Li Sizhao, Li Jichuan and others into the city gate. On both sides were sergeants in full armor and equipped with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, all of whom stared at Li Sizhao and his party.  When Li Sizhao was wondering why Zhang Gui had so many sophisticated military armors, he suddenly saw a horse running towards him. The horse was extremely fast. The rider held a bright silver spear in his hand, and a thunderous roar sounded.  : "Han Jintong, you know something!" Han Jintong was Li Sizhao's real name before he worshiped Li Keyong as his adoptive father.No one had called him that in more than ten years. When he heard someone mention it, Li Sizhao immediately felt excited. He was about to get angry, but he suddenly saw the person coming and felt cold from head to toe.  This person is Li Cunxu again!  (Hey, why did I say "again"?) (To be continued)
