Chapter 234 Going Deeper Alone
Ding Yanping and others thought that Dongfang Ming's decision was abrupt and reckless. But Dongfang Ming insisted on taking only 500 people to attack Jinyang.
Ding Yanping had no choice but to obey Dongfang Ming's orders.
The crowds were rare and the horses were traveling. There were few people, but the speed of travel was unexpectedly fast. Dongfang Ming soon arrived at the first level on the route - Yanyang Pass.
Yanyang Pass is the only way to Jinyang and cannot be avoided.
Behind Yanyang Pass is Yanyang City.
The first city after entering the pass is also the starting point for entering the hinterland of Taiyuan.
From here, it can be regarded as entering Liu Wuzhou's sphere of influence.
Five hundred people said that there was no more, but there was no less. At least in Yanyang City, a small border town, five hundred outsiders in military uniforms poured in at once.
Dongfang Ming had never been involved in Liu Wuzhou's territory before, nor had he contacted Liu Wuzhou's power. So he was not very clear about how much Liu Wuzhou's control over his territory was.
But there is one thing Dongfang Ming is very sure that Liu Wuzhou must be on guard against him.
After Li Mi defected to Liu Wuzhou, he would definitely tell Liu Wuzhou about Dongfang Ming, and repeatedly warned Liu Wuzhou to take Dongfang Ming carefully and seriously.
It was precisely for this reason that Dongfang Ming insisted on bringing only 500 people to the battle. Too many goals would only be discovered by Liu Wuzhou faster, which was not conducive to travel. Five hundred cavalrymen were light and agile, and it was convenient for whatever they wanted.
Li Erlang has already brought so many people to fight Liu Wuzhou head-on, attracting all the attention of Liu Wuzhou. Dongfang Ming does not need to make such a big fight to make Liu Wuzhou notice him. He can use a more lightweight method to solve this problem while Liu Wuzhou is paying attention to Li Erlang.
This time, Li Erlang and Dongfang Ming formed an alliance to attack Jinyang. The situation was so big and the goal was so clear. I believe that as long as Liu Wuzhou was not a fool, he should have noticed it more or less. The intention of these two people was to jointly wipe out him. Then he would definitely be more careful to prevent problems in his jurisdiction.
As for why these two people joined forces, the reason is also obvious.
Since both of them have reasons to attack Liu Wuzhou, the power of the two is always greater than that of one person.
The reason why Li Erlang wanted to take action against Liu Wuzhou was obvious and direct.
Liu Wuzhou occupied Jinyang and supported himself. Behind him, the Turks were supported by the support of the people, which could be called rampant in Hebei. It would be fine if he guarded Jinyang peacefully. The Li family could also endure it and have nothing to do with him.
But Liu Wuzhou occupied Jinyang but it was not enough, so he was ready to attack the richer and rich Taiyuan. He crossed the border several times and sent troops to Taiyuan to cause trouble.
This is clearly a demonstration against the Li family and son. At the same time, it is also a signal that Liu Wuzhou's ambition to take action against Taiyuan is obvious.
If Liu Wuzhou occupied Jinyang forcibly, the Li family could still tolerate it. Once he showed his intentions for Taiyuan, how could the Li family and his son still sit steadily and ignore it?
Taiyuan was originally the fiefdom of Tang Yuan, and now it is the foundation for the uprising of the father and son of the Li family. Taiyuan is almost the lifeblood of the Li family, how can we tolerate others' imagination?
However, the decision of the Li family to take action against Liu Wuzhou was not an unintentional move.
First of all, Jinyang is considered the largest city in Hebei Province except Taiyuan, and occupying Jinyang is definitely not a loss for the Li family.
Secondly, the Li family announced that they had left the court and had separatist independence. At present, they were still in the beginning of the uprising, and their strength was insufficient and their birth time was short, which was not enough for other forces to see the strength of the Li father and son, and give them enough attention. The Li family urgently needed to conquer Jinyang and prove the strength of the Li family to others who were watching them.
Finally, further expanding one's territory and strength is also a step that the Li family must take if they want to become a climate. If they are content with a small corner of Taiyuan, the Li family will never be able to do anything. They can only be an ordinary and ordinary force in this chaotic world. This is obviously not what the Li family wants. Their hearts are huge, and their goal is like the whole world. Therefore, sooner or later, they will definitely attack Jinyang. Liu Wuzhou's arrogance only gave the Li family a reason to start a war that was open and upright and not criticized.
The reason why Dongfang Ming wanted to capture Liu Wuzhou was even simpler.
There are only two reasons. One is because Liu Wuzhou took in Li Mi, but Li Mi was the person Dongfang Ming vowed to kill. Now that Liu Wuzhou has taken in him, Dongfang Ming must deal with Liu Wuzhou if he wants to kill him. The other is because it is beneficial to Dongfang Ming without any harm, so why don’t he do it?
Li Erlang and Dongfang Ming have their own reasons, but their current interests are quite consistent. The goal is to get rid of Liu Wuzhou. It is normal for two smart people to join forces.
The characteristics of Dongfang Ming and his soldiers are still very obvious. As long as they appear in the jurisdiction of Liu Wuzhou, if Liu Wuzhou ordered his subordinates to pay attention, it would not be difficult to find their whereabouts.
Therefore, Dongfang Ming ordered the cavalry to ambush in the distance and not to cause unnecessary trouble if found. He himself took Cui Ning and disguised himself as ordinary people and sneaked into the city.
When you enter the city, you naturally have to find out the information. If you are not familiar with the place, you have to find out the situation in a place. The best place is where people gather with large flows of people, such as taverns, teahouses, etc.
Dongfang Ming and Cui Ning and the others entered the largest restaurant in Yanyang City. The waiter in the main room immediately greeted the guest when he saw the guest and greeted him cleverly: "Two guests! What do you want to eat?"
While talking, the waiter also picked the two of them up to the empty table.
Dongfang Ming turned his eyes around and observed the environment, and replied: "What is the best dish in your store?"
The waiter responded quickly and immediately recited a long list of dishes. His speech was not fast and he spoke extremely fluently. The series of dishes were just told without any pause. After reporting the dishes, he asked Dongfang Ming: "Customer, what dishes do you want to eat? Don't worry, our store uses the freshest ingredients, please invite the best chef, the taste is absolutely authentic!"
Dongfang waved his hand clearly and said boldly: "Then let's get one of them all!"
It is estimated that it is rare to order dishes like Dongfang Ming. There are only two people, and they order dishes that even five or six people can't finish. The waiter was stunned for a moment. When he realized that Dongfang Ming was a rare big customer, he immediately nodded ecstatically and said flatteringly: "Okay! Then the guest, please wait, the younger one will go to the kitchen to deliver the dishes immediately!"
As soon as the waiter left, the table calmed down. Dongfang Ming had time to observe the environment in the restaurant.
This restaurant has three floors in total, and there is a gap in the middle of each floor. The four sides are surrounded by railings. Looking down from the upper floor, you can see a platform in the middle of the first floor. If someone performs on the platform, the people on the upper floor can see clearly.
