Li Ye issued six orders in a row, asking Li Keyong to come to Qingzhou to report his work. Li Keyong has not set off and refuses it for various reasons such as being ill and busy military affairs.

On that day, Li Ye was furious and publicly criticized Li Keyong for being disrespectful of the court, holding troops and respecting himself, and rebelling, and decided to send troops to conquer the enemy. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Li Yan, scolding Li Keyong for all the past crimes, including the old accounts of the chaos of the north with Li Guochang and Zhenwu's army, which were all revealed.

For a time, the court was in anger, and Wang Duo even angrily accused Li Keyong of rebelling on the day of the great court, which aroused the indignation of the court officials and all of them made Li Yan's confrontation. Li Yan waved his hand and personally wrote a letter to criticize him, agreeing to Li Ye's memorial to send troops to Hedong.

Not long after, several military soldiers were rebellious in Wei Bo's territory, and there was a rumor of the evil trouble. Li Yan immediately ordered Li Ye, who had successfully pacified the evil troubles in the territory, to help Wei Bo Jiedushi "solve the problem".

In mid-spring, Li Ye sent 100,000 troops to the bank of the Yellow River, and his troops headed straight to Wei Bo.

Pinglu's movements were closely watched by all parties. As the Pinglu army set out in the expedition, all parties responded accordingly.

This is the first time that Li Ye went abroad to fight after quelling the Huang Chao Rebellion and was appointed as the Minister of State. After Li Ye quelling the reign of the army and horses, he was the first time that the Pinglu Army went abroad to fight. Moreover, the troops were aimed at the right hand of the Hedong Army, which also rose in the Huang Chao Rebellion and is now also powerful. Such actions can be said to have a single move and directly influenced the general trend of the world.

Through Li Ye's actions, the capable and ambitious people vaguely saw the court's attitude towards the powerful vassals in the world and the future trend of the world.

In Bianzhou, Zhu Wen summoned his confidant generals and aides to conduct intense discussions on the trends of the Pinglu army to determine a solution.

Bianzhou was the governor of Xuanwu Army, and the Jiedushi was Zhu Wen, who had been named Zhu Quanzhong. Between Xuanwu and Pinglu, there was a distance between Tianping Jiedushi, and not far from Wei Bo and Zhaoyi, and was on the left wing of Pinglu Army.

Zhu Zhen was closest to the main seat and said solemnly: "Now the military commander has completely controlled Xuanwu. It is the time to expand his power and conquer prefectures and counties. Before, because King An was on his side, he could not take action. Now that King An went to Hedong, it would be a big battle and could not be solved in a short time. This is a good opportunity for Xuanwu to make a fortune. Moreover, the vassal states around Xuanwu are not very powerful. If he can expand his territory and sit firmly in the Central Plains this time, it will be the foundation of hegemony!"

Zhu Wen touched his chin with his hand, pondering silently, obviously thinking deeply.

General Pang Shigu has always been dull and taciturn, but at this moment he also spoke: "The last general believes that King An is powerful and we cannot violate it. Instead of taking the opportunity to attack the surrounding vassal states, it is better to use troops north to echo King An. Li Keyong from Hedong is already incompatible with the military commander and has a large power. Now that he has the opportunity to deal with him, he naturally cannot let him go. Moreover, this time, we can conquer cities and territory under the guise of King An. After the matter is completed, King An will be favored by the military commander and will definitely not make things difficult for the military commander. In this way, the military commander's power will be expanded, and there is no need to worry about King An being dissatisfied afterwards."

Zhu Wen was still pondering and did not express any opinions clearly.

He and Li Keyong were incompatible because of a past event. After the Huang Chao Rebellion, Li Keyong passed by Bianzhou, and Zhu Wen was warmly entertained. During the cooking wine banquet, Li Keyong was very arrogant and did not take Zhu Wen seriously. This angered Zhu Wen. Since he joined the army, he was not afraid of heaven or earth. Except for when he had ever been so angry in front of Li Ye, he immediately arranged for people to surround Li Keyong.

Of course, Li Keyong ran away in the end.

The suggestions from the generals were soon divided into two factions, and those who supported Zhu Zhen and Pang Shigu made sense.

It was late, and Zhu Wen had no idea. He just said something to discuss it tomorrow, so he got up and went back to the backyard to see his wife.

His wife Zhang Hui has always been knowledgeable and respected by Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen grew up from the chaotic army and was inevitably too damaging to kill and surrender at every turn. He acted violently. No generals in the army dared to persuade him. Only Zhang Hui could make Zhu Wen restrain himself.

"I think General Pang's words make sense."

Zhang Hui served Zhu Wen Kuanyi. After hearing what Zhu Wen said about today, he expressed his opinion, "King An is powerful and has become a pillar of the country. According to the Nu family, he has the ambition to support the world and has this talent. If the husband takes advantage of this time and conquers the city and land everywhere, if the king returns victoriously, he will definitely attack his husband."

"If the husband helps King An, he will be able to get along with King An afterwards... Besides, he will have friendship with King An. In addition, he will use troops north to occupy the Three Jins and overlook the Central Plains. If King An gets it, Xuanwu will be controlled by others. If the husband gets part of it, he will be able to compete with King An. In this way, no matter what the world is in the future, the husband will have room for maneuver. If there is a great chaos and the princes compete for hegemony, the husband will not suffer any losses. If King An clears the world and revives the Tang Dynasty, the husband can also follow King An and not worry about wealth and prosperity."

Zhu Wen deeply agreed.

......

Caizhou, under the rule of Zhou Ji, the governor of Zhongwu Jie, the governor Qin Zongquan summoned his aides to discuss major events.

"Before, Zhou Ji's man relied on King An's support to suppress his official position. Now that King An is on the battlefield, he cannot pay attention to Zhongwu. It is the time for us to achieve great things!"

Qin Zongquan's eyes glowed and looked at his aides: "If there is a great chaos today, all the aspiring people want to achieve great things. I, Qin Zongquan, thinks that I, is no worse than others. Why should I endure that mediocre person Zhou Ji and point fingers at me? This time, I want to raise troops to attack Xuzhou, kill Zhou Ji, and become the leader of Zhongwu. What do you think?"

"The governor's words are reasonable!"

"It depends entirely on the governor's decision!"

Only a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a beard made a disharmonious voice: "This is inappropriate."

“What’s wrong?”

"You dare to talk nonsense if the governor wants to achieve great things?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar sighed, looked at Qin Zongquan, and said slowly: "I mean, the governor wants to become a military governor, maybe he can try it. But Zhou Ji cannot kill him, so he can only expel him. Zhou Ji has a friendship with King An. If the governor kills him, he will definitely anger King An!"

Qin Zongquan thought for a while: "Okay! That's it!"

......

Fengxiang Mansion.

After Song Wentong became the governor of Fengxiang, he was officially named Li Maozhen.

After receiving the news that Li Ye sent troops to Hedong, Li Maozhen quickly summoned his aides to discuss matters at the Political Affairs Hall.

His confidant Wang Buqi said: "The Tang Dynasty is weak and has no combat power at all. It is incomparable to the vassal army that has experienced the battle of Huang Chao. Moreover, after his Majesty returned to the court in Chengdu, he was still the same and had no intention of political affairs. After all, the entire dynasty was only supported by King An. But King An was only King An, and not Your Majesty. Can he really turn the world around with his own strength?"

Li Maozhen looked at Wang Buqi and asked, "What do you mean by sir?"

Wang Buqi should have said: "After all, King An is in Shandong. Whether he attacks Li Keyong or not, the military commander should expand his power. The Fengxiang Army has experienced war training in the Huang Chao Rebellion and has countless elite troops. Now, the only vassal states that can compete with the military commander are Wang Chongrong from Hezhong. At this opportunity, the military commander should be enterprising and conquer the prefectures and counties! Once the time is ripe, Chang'an is close to you!"

Li Maozhen's eyes lit up, but he said, "As a minister, how can we talk about Chang'an?" Then he changed his mind, "But there are many prefectures and counties around Fengxiang. Because the vassal army is unruly, the people are not as good as death. I should share the worries of the court."

"The military commander is wise!"

......

Li Ye led his army to the bank of the Yellow River, set up a camp, built several floating bridges, and prepared to let the army cross the river. Wei Bo is on the west side of the Yellow River and Pinglu is on the east side of the Yellow River. A key link in Wei Bo's entry is to cross the river smoothly.

On this day, Li Ye was discussing matters with the generals in the big tent and was reported to the envoy of the Balance Jiedushi.

The land of the Balance Jiedushi was adjacent to Pinglu, and between Pinglu and Xuanwu, it was also the left wing of the Pinglu army attacking Hedong.

In order to ensure the safety of the army's flanks, Li Ye naturally had to ensure that the Taiping Army would not cause trouble.

Xue Neng, the former Taiping Army governor, was still killed by Huang Chao's rioters. It was precisely because of that incident that Li Ye left the Pinglu.

Li Ye asked the generals to retreat and ordered the envoy of the governor of the Tianping Jiedushi to enter the tent.

The person who came was a strong man in his forties, seven feet long and bearded, looking like a big and thick military man. After entering the tent, he kept tilting his head slightly. When he bowed, he just held his fists slightly, and his attitude was very arrogant, "I am humble to be Xue Kuang, and I have met King An."

After saying that, Xue Kuang looked up at the top of the tent, waiting for Li Ye to speak, full of airs.

Li Ye asked the Tianping Army not to cause trouble, which was considered a request for others. The envoy was more arrogant. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable. After the Huang Chao Rebellion, the imperial court lost all its majesty and no vassal states could respect him. Li Ye, King An, was not respected by everyone.

Li Ye didn't care much and asked with a smile: "What did General Xue bring?"

Xue Neng died in battle, so he was loyal to the country, so his son Xue Wei inherited the position of Jiedu. Therefore, the Xue family had a huge power in the Tianping Army and had a solid foundation, which was impossible for others to covet.

Xue Kuang snorted: "Military General said that Pinglu was going to march into Hedong, and it had nothing to do with our balance!"

Li Ye felt a little novel about this remark and put down his brush and looked at Xue Kuang: "It doesn't matter?"

Xue Kuang snorted heavily this time, full of momentum. This is not that he is not afraid of Li Ye, but that he has no intention of talking to Li Ye well. His nostrils say to the sky: "The military commander said that the Tianping Army is short of food and salary. If King An is willing to give some military supplies, although the Tianping Army has the intention to fight on the battlefield, he can still defend the city!"

Li Ye said oh.

Xue Kuang's meaning is very clear. If the Tianping Army wants to avoid trouble, the Pinglu Army will have to buy it. Otherwise, the Tianping Army will have the intention to fight on the battlefield, and may help someone and cause something.

It seems that the reason why Xue Kuang's attitude is so arrogant is to lay the foundation for this request.

"Since that's the case..." Li Ye touched his chin, thought for a moment, and glanced at Xue Kuang, "Then you can only die here."

Xue Kuang was shocked and almost suspected that he had heard the wrong thing. He finally looked at Li Ye, "Your King An..."

He can't finish speaking.

Because he had fallen to his knees.

A Qi training warlock, Li Ye didn't need to do anything at all. He could make the other party bow down by relying solely on the pressure of cultivation.

Xue Kuang supported the ground with both hands, his face was like pig's liver, sweating like rain, and his nails were pinched into the soil. Listening to the overwhelming sound of bones all over his body, his eyes were filled with panic and despair.

He never expected that Li Ye would be so tough if he had something to ask for.

But he only had a breath for a while, and perhaps half of the breath, his whole body exploded and broke into a pile of meat in the blood mist.

Li Ye ordered outside the accountant: "Come on, clean up."

The guard entered the tent and saw minced meat on the ground, but his expression was as normal as he could, and his brows did not frown.

"Yoda Niao." Li Ye shouted faintly.

A wisp of black air floated into the tent, and the Holy Son appeared next to Li Ye. The first thing he said after he appeared was a wry smile: "I think I need to change my name."

Li Ye ignored this question at all: "Go to Yunzhou and bring Xue Wei, the governor of Tianping Jiedu. I'll give you, yes, two hours."

"Why do you need two hours? It's not far away? One hour is enough." The Holy Son took the order and disappeared into the tent without saying a word.
