Chapter 69 Differential Treatment
With the help of monks from the Buddha Realm, if Li Siben wanted to escape, he could leave no matter how he wanted, but he insisted on fighting on the top of the city, then the only thing that greeted him was death.
Li Sien was not the commander of Yizhou, and the burden on his shoulders was smaller. Even if he was defeated, he could use the reason that the straitors were not his own to comfort himself and make him believe that he did not lose to Li Cunxiao. So he left.
Shangguan Qingcheng was the one who killed Li Siben. Li Ye could see clearly in the air. He also saw the route of Li Sien leading the elite soldiers to break through and escape, but he did not pursue him. Because he knew that Li Sien could not escape back to Taiyuan.
When he was attacking Yizhou, he issued an order to Zhaoyi Army in the three northwest counties of Yizhou to block the road and not let Yizhou defeated troops flee back to Taiyuan City.
Li Ye looked northwest and according to Kang Chengqian's return, he led Zhao Yi army to set up a formation early and waited for it on the northwest road. Li Sien took more than 10,000 Yizhou soldiers, but there would definitely be no thousand people who could return to Taiyuan alive.
The scene after the official army captured Yizhou City was no different from the capture of Qinzhou. The only difference was that this time Li Ye did not ask the governor of Yizhou to find all the gentry and gentry in the city to obey the orders.
Li Ye did not do this because he didn't need it. Before the official army captured the city and Li Ye came to the governor's mansion, the governor of Yizhou was waiting at the door with local officials, aristocratic families and representatives of gentry.
As soon as he saw Li Ye appear, the crowd was filled with black people, and they smiled flatteringly and came to greet him eagerly. Without Li Ye saying anything, they all bowed to the ground and shouted that they were willing to be loyal to the court and obey King An's orders.
The Holy Infant and Saint Son and others who were with him, as well as Li Ye’s civil servants and staff couldn’t help but turn their attention to Li Ye. Even the unruly monks of the demon clan also felt awe in their eyes.
However, looking at the powerful and powerful Yizhou who were kneeling all over the ground in front of him, Li Ye had no expression on his face.
There was no surprise or joy in my eyes.
This seemed to him a normal scene.
With the lessons of Qinzhou, officials in Yizhou naturally knew what to do.
When he gave Qinzhou officials the opportunity to "reform" in Qinzhou, he was to influence the hearts of the people in Hedong. In other words, if he could not achieve such an effect in Yizhou, then his work in Qinzhou would be in vain.
Since it is a matter of course, Li Ye will not have any fluctuations in his heart.
Without saying a word, he walked past the crowd and went straight into the governor's mansion.
The powerful people who were lying on the ground did not hear Li Ye's words "get up", so naturally they did not dare to get up. They looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Is King An going to attack them?
Could it be that King An was blaming them for not taking action early and working with the government army to break through the city?
After all, King An gave a letter of persuasion to surrender, so naturally it was not only targeted at the defenders, but also to the powerful people in the city.
Thinking of this, many powerful people felt sweat on their foreheads and became uneasy. If King An was willing, they would immediately fall to the ground. Even if the family was destroyed, it would be just a matter of King An. After all, rebellion was a matter of killing the nine clans.
Just when everyone was feeling cold on their backs and their hearts were anxious, Li Ye's indifferent voice came from the mansion: "Come in."
The powerful and powerful quickly got up and rushed into the door.
Seeing these powerful men's pitiful postures like dogs, the Pinglu army soldiers on both sides of the street all showed contempt. Their evaluation of Hedong officials and generals in their hearts dropped a lot, and their invisible confidence in winning this battle reached a new peak.
In the Political Affairs Hall, Li Ye looked down at the powerful people who were lying on the ground indifferently, slowly tapping the table with his fingers, falling into deep thought as if no one was around.
Li Ye’s attitude towards officials and generals from different prefectures and counties in Hedong was different. Without any difference, there would be no direction to work hard.
He was quite easy-going to Qinzhou's generals because the war had just begun. He was quite indifferent to the powerful and nobles in Yizhou because the war had begun for some time. These generals did nothing during the war, but after the war, they thought that they would be able to hold on for a while and have a better attitude and be able to maintain their power and position in front of Li Ye. That would be too unfair to take Li Ye seriously.
Li Ye wanted to let them go, and let the officials from Taiyuan and other prefectures and counties in Hedong know that he could give everyone the opportunity to not be held accountable after the war, but as the war progressed, everyone needed to take the initiative to fight for it.
When the government forces attack the new city, if the powerful and powerful in the city want to save their lives after the war, they must know to be loyal to their family and country during the war, help the government forces deal with the Hedong army guarding the city, and reduce the damage caused by the government forces to break through the city.
This is also a necessary strategy to disintegrate the hearts of the military and people in Hedong.
After a long time, Li Ye retracted his thoughts, looked at the powerful and unmoved Yizhou who were lying in the hall, and said lightly: "You are all wealthy families in Yizhou, and I believe there will be no lack of talents in the clan. Now it is the time for the imperial court to fight against rebellion. Any monks of my age in the Tang Dynasty have the responsibility to serve the country. What do you think?"
This is Li Ye’s first sentence. Everyone who had been hung up for a long time dared not say no, and he quickly replied.
Li Ye nodded: "Now the Order of the Lone King: All monks above the Wuzong level in Yizhou will report to the army within three days. If anyone fails to comply with this order, he will be considered disrespectful to the court, collude with the rebel Li Keyong, and kill the nine clans!"
Everyone raised their heads in surprise, and many people felt stormy waves in their hearts.
They didn't expect that Li Ye was so tough that he wanted the monks to enter the military camp directly! Those monks above the Wuzong realm were all backbones of all families and tribes. If all of them were included in the army, if there was any accident, each family would be injured.
However, they raised their heads and didn't even have time to speak. They just opened their mouths and suddenly all their heads lowered and could not make any sounds.
Everyone who saw Li Ye felt a mountain pressing on his shoulders and could not breathe. He had to use all his cultivation to resist, otherwise he would immediately lie on the ground.
Many people tremble all over and they are almost unable to hold on.
Li Ye took everyone's reaction in his eyes, smiled casually, and withdrew his pressure, "Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled. It seems that you still know the right and wrong, but finally did not disappoint the Lone King too much."
Everyone was under pressure, but their mood became heavier.
They remembered extremely clearly that the King An in front of them not only has a noble status, but is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, and his cultivation is even more ridiculously high. It is not something they can compete with. If the other party is willing, destroying their family is only in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, everyone worshiped: "Abide by the orders of King An!"
......
It was drizzling, and water had accumulated in the courtyard, and many flowers and leaves were scattered in the soil.
Li Cunxiao stood under the eaves, looking at the scene silently with his hands behind his back, his face as if it was raining. Because the depression was too strong, the original killing intention on his body was covered a lot.
"General, you have been standing here for three hours. Come into the house and sit down." A beauty woman came to Li Cunxiao and persuaded with concern.
Li Cunxiao glanced at his wife and withdrew her gaze, without saying anything or moving. The beauty makeup woman sighed softly, and she couldn't persuade her anymore, so she could only stand with Li Cunxiao.
Half an hour later, the woman couldn't stand. Seeing that Li Cunxiao had no intention of moving, she could only turn around and leave silently.
Li Cunxiao stood alone for a long time.
Until dusk, a small school rushed into the yard. The wind came to Li Cunxiao, kneeling to bow to him, and his voice was anxious and sad: "General! Yizhou is lost!"
Li Cunxiao didn't move for a moment. After a while, his eyes were straight, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he shook his body, took two steps back, and almost unsteady.
"General!" The little schoolmaster was shocked and quickly got up to support him.
When Li Cunxiao stabilized his body, his eyes were already scarlet, his fists couldn't help but clenched tightly, and the blue veins on his forehead thrust. He looked like a beast that had chosen people and ate them, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.
"I'm going to see the prince!"
When Li Cunxiao came to the Prince's Mansion, there were already people coming and going, and civil officials and military generals and even the heads of the Taiyuan family were all among them.
Most of these people saw Li Cunxiao who was in a hurry and stopped to look over, but none of them came to say hello on their own initiative, and their eyes were all weird.
Li Cunxiao didn't understand their eyes. He had never encountered such eyes. He felt very uncomfortable, just as he was not of the same kind as them.
After a moment, he realized that it was a look of suspicion and repulsion.
Almost no one believes in Hedong now. Even if he believed it before, no one believed it after Yizhou was defeated in one day.
The Yizhou City, where two Taibaos were in charge, was actually destroyed by Li Ye, which shows that Li Ye has the ability to break the city quickly.
However, when Li Cunxiao was in charge of Yizhou, Li Ye actually chose to trap the city and did not take the initiative to launch a big battle.
That's not because of ulterior motives for Li Cunxiao?
The two of them had been in a stalemate for so long, but they didn't fight hard. As soon as Li Cunxiao left, Li Ye filled the gap and began to attack the city. Such an obvious abnormal move, was there really no collusion between the two?
Or is it that Li Cunxiao is really powerful, which makes Li Ye dare not even fight?
This is certainly impossible.
If Li Cunxiao is so powerful, who else in Hedong can compare with him? Not to mention other guru, even if he is combined, isn't as good as him? If he is really so powerful, if he is compared with him, wouldn't everyone become mediocre people and waste?
No one will admit that he is a mediocre person or a waste.
Li Cunxiao felt the hostility of his colleagues. The generals who were closest to him before, who were as loyal to Li Keyong, were the most loyal to him. The look he looked at him at the moment was the most hatred. It was a look that he wanted to take action immediately and knock him to the ground.
Li Cunxiao was confused and at a loss.
He had never had such an experience. Before, he was praised and flattered because he was the most brave general in Hedong, with great military achievements and a person Li Keyong relied heavily on.
And now, everything is different.
Li Cunxiao could only lower his head and walked past people with a tough bullet to ask for Li Keyong.
Yizhou was lost. If Fenzhou was not recovered, Li Ye would advance in the same direction and soon the troops came to Taiyuan. He wanted to ask for his orders to fight to recover Fenzhou, which was captured by Liu Dazheng.
He can do it.
