Chapter 714(2/2)
Wei Zijian and Xiu He were not only close friends, but also brothers-in-law.
Haha, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family no longer knew each other.
Li Chengzhi immediately wrote a handwritten letter, and at the same time he did not forget to ask Wei Zijian to write a letter, and then Xue Jingmao took him to Lishi, and then he persuaded him face to face.
Xue Jingmao lived up to his high expectations and adopted a three-pronged approach to persuade Xue and Yu to rebel in the city and seize the city gate late at night.
Only in this way did Li Feng achieve his miraculous feat of conquering Lishi Town in less than seven days.
How did the Hedong family know that Li Feng won so quickly because of Xue He's internal support? They only knew that they used Guo Cunxin as an excuse on the grounds that the trade route was blocked, but Li Shizhen was defeated.
From front to back, it was less than ten days?
Lishi is adjacent to Taiyuan to the east, Jinming to the west, and to the north is the border wall of Liuzhen. Occupying Lishi not only opened up the commercial, military, and grain roads between Hedong and Guanzhong, but also connected the imperial court and Liuzhen in the heart of Hedong.
A nail was driven into the middle.
What's more, Li Feng has already occupied most of the border wall, and has advanced his troops to Xuanwu County, Xiazhou, which is the upper right corner of the "ji" shape in the Hetao. He will deploy more troops in the spring of next year to occupy the remaining border wall.
Next, it is not impossible to advance the troops to the coast of Pingzhou.
By that time, it would be equivalent to completely isolating the six towns to the north of the border wall. Let's not say whether Li Chengzhi will take the six towns. The town army, which has run out of food, will inevitably be in chaos.
Whether the imperial court has the ability to rescue or whether it will abandon the six towns is only secondary. Whether Li Chengzhi will send his troops south and take the opportunity to capture Hedong is the key.
The answer is obvious.
It has only been less than three or four years since the Monk Rebellion, Gao Zhao and other disasters occurred. No matter how rich Hedong is, it cannot be as rich as Guanzhong. No matter how strong Hedong is, can it be stronger than Guanzhong with Yuanyao in the north and Cui Yanbo and an army of 500,000?
The powerful families in the east of Hedong had already anticipated the scene where the army from the West Sea invaded the counties and the thick iron cannons bombarded the city gates.
From that day on, yin and yang reversed, and the strong and the weak changed positions. Guo Cunxin no longer came to lobby one by one, but instead, Hedong aristocratic families came in droves to show their goodwill to Guo Cunxin.
Of course, most of the people who came were descendants of branches and collateral lines, just like the ones I just met. They never mentioned the main family in their words. The clan brothers who hold important positions in Jingzhong, Hedong, Henan, and the six towns, from
How about uncle? He just said that he couldn’t see the suffering of the people in Guanzhong, so he donated food and grass to help.
It is also known as the family classics of the Guo family in Hexi. He originally became a disciple of Guo Cunxin and followed him to Guanzhong to study.
Studying is of course a lie, taking the opportunity to work under Li Chengzhi and leaving a way out for the family in advance is the real thing.
It was an old routine for aristocratic families. Li Chengzhi was not surprised at all, but he didn't expect it to come so early.
He used to think that this scene would only happen when Huazhou was captured and the army directed Luoyang.
Although he couldn't stand the aristocratic family's way of consolidating class, Li Chengzhi was not stupid enough to turn him away and deliberately created difficulties and obstacles for himself. That's why the scene of the polite and virtuous corporal chatting and laughing...
After listening to what Li Chengzhi said, Da Xi was stunned and speechless. After being stunned for a long time, he asked: "This matter is like a river breaking its embankment. Once it breaks out, it will be out of control. If we wait until next year to capture Huazhou, or take the
Six towns, other aristocratic families haven’t heard of the news and come to invest? I’m afraid I won’t be able to use it after all my hard work..."
Li Chengzhi couldn't help but laugh: "How can it be so easy? As long as the grain from Hedong can be transported to Guanzhong and the urgent need is solved, I will be grateful... In other words, even if it is as you said, the world will return to conquer Luoyang.
There may not be a need for water warfare, but if we want to drink from the Yangtze River, how can we lack naval forces?"
"yes?"
