Chapter XX Total War

During the war, stability should be the priority in the middle of the country, and there should be no major storms in the court. Only in this way can people gather their hearts and manpower to win the war. Even if someone is corrupt and abused the law, as long as he can tolerate it, the monarch will choose to settle the accounts after the war is over.

However, Li Ye still issued an order to the Qingyi Yamen, asking them to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to directly arrest and interrogate important officials in the court who had some contacts with the Khitans - whether they were proactive or passive, did they know that the Khitans were interacting with him.

Li Ye dares to do this, but only three points are needed.

First, the crime of treason cannot be tolerated at any time. Even if someone makes a serious move, the voice will not be too loud in the face of the national war;

Secondly, the officials trained by Li Ye have absolute control over the government and are not worried about not being able to control the situation;

Third, if the Qingyi Yamen takes action, if the evidence is conclusive, it will be very quick whether it is arrest or interrogation. The so-called storm will not last much time.

When Li Yan learned that even the father-in-law, the descendants and the old people of the Prince of Pu were involved in this storm, his face turned pale even when facing Li Ye. He asked several times if he could tell some of them.

Li Yan is a person who values ​​feelings, and he is so important that he cannot tell the difference between the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the sever

Li Ye is not an ignorant person. He also knows Li Yan's temperament well. He promises to reduce the guilt according to the situation and try not to punish the company. Although Li Yan is not very satisfied, he also knows that Li Ye cannot make more concessions, so he can only sigh and agree.

After the tragedy of the south of the desert, less than a month later, the border war was ignited on a large scale.

First, the Khitan advances side by side, raiding the Gubeikou, the Great Wall fortress in the northwest of Youzhou, and marching towards Yingzhou in the northeast of Youzhou. Immediately, Li Ye received news that the Uighurs launched a large-scale attack on Sunshine - the army with Guiyi Army as the main force and Hexi Army as the support, fought day and night with him.

At this point, wars on the northeastern border and northwest border completely broke out.

The good news is that because Wang Jian sent troops from Shu quickly, he entered Nanzhao through the Five-foot Road and achieved a good start. He has won five battles and captured three cities. He has initially gained a foothold in Nanzhao, which has satisfied Li Ye.

In the south of the desert, because of Dangxiang and Shatuo had been settled by the Wolf Tooth Army. Although Yelu Xienichi wanted to take advantage of the victory to capture Yunzhou and open the gateway to Hebei from the south of the desert, he was defended by the border army with 30,000 infantry of the Wolf Tooth Army as its core and failed to fight for half a month. In addition, he actually suffered heavy losses before, so he extinguished the attack.

Now, Yelu Xie Niechi retreated back to the grassland, missing his whereabouts.

In short, the war that Li Ye needs the most to worry about at the moment is the Khitan's fierce attack on the governor of Lulong, Youzhou.

In the past two years, Li Ye has compiled the imperial guards and drawn elite troops from the vassal states, but Lu Long's Jiedushi was one of the few. Not only has the military strength not been weakened, but Li Ye sent a large amount of arms, money and grain, and sent monks to settle in, and his strength has been greatly enhanced.

Li Ye's purpose of doing this is naturally only one: to prepare for a war with the Khitan.

As an important town in the northern border, Youzhou can even be said to be the most important town. It is the bridgehead for the Tang Dynasty to attack the grasslands, and it is also the first barrier for the Tang Dynasty to resist the Khitan's southward. It is the core area for the Tang Dynasty to fight against the grassland tribes. It must not be missed.

However, facing the Khitan army, only

The Lulong Jiedushi could not be defended.

But with the Chang'an Imperial Guard, the situation is different.

As the Khitan army attacked the border, the Huwei, Changning armies, and the newly compiled Yuan Cong and Cavalry armies had entered Lulong's territory and successively headed for the prefectures and counties to garrison.

As for the Yulin Army, it entered Yunzhou.

The Chang'an Imperial Army, except for the Longxiang Army to guard the capital, all the other armies entered the northern border. This shows that Li Ye's emphasis on the Khitan was definitely not as good as that of the Uighurs, but Nanzhao.

Those who went south from Shu and those who supported the Guiyi army from Hexi could only be considered partial troops. One attacked into Nanzhao and the other guarded Yang Pass was enough in Li Ye's opinion.

In Li Ye's view, the so-called world-wide attack on Tang is the only key point of breaking the deadlock, or the only core of winning, is to repel the Khitan, or even defeat the Khitan.

As the army was busy entering the border battlefield and was about to start participating in the war, Li Ye was still sitting in Chang'an City. This time, he did not lead the army to conquer the front as before - even regarded himself as a vanguard and entered the battlefield early.

By this time, the turmoil in the court had ended. After those guilty officials were demoted or imprisoned, whether Li Ye was interested or not, the officials under his command had to make up for the vacancy.

Under such circumstances, the power of the court has almost completely fallen under Li Ye's control, and the officials of the King of An account have accounted for less than 20% of the three provinces and six ministries.

When the rear was stable, Li Ye insisted on not being able to fight on the frontier. In addition to being in charge of the center and training the ability of generals under his command to fight alone, the battle in the Immortal Realm had also broken out.

As the absolute commander of the Dao Sect and the Shi Sect, Li Ye, who is only one step away from the Daluo Golden Immortal, not only has to dispatch the Immortal Realm army to fight, but also has the power to control the situation of the battle. He must ensure that his cultivation is in the Immortal Realm at any time: either charge in the Immortal Realm or deal with attacks.

The battle scenes between immortals in the fairyland are relatively simple and crude than those in the mortal world. There is no one who fights a hundred days and a thousand miles away, nor is there a one-inch battle between mountains and rivers and blood. The army of both sides set up their formations on the scheduled battlefield, and waited for a command, and then launched a head-on rush until the winner was decided.

This tactic is exactly the same as the combat style of the army during the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties.

Because the immortals leaped for hundreds of miles, the Khitan and Uighur immortal army gathered in one place, facing the Dongtu immortals in front of them.

In the vast army, not all the Khitan and Uighur gods and elites were mixed with many different levels, whether in their outfit, temperament or strength, and they felt like they were the existence of a miscellaneous army. Needless to say, Li Ye and the immortals also understood that they were so-called gods and immortals of Dangxiang, Uighurs, Nanzhao, and even Tubo.

"Although these alien immortals are not very strong, they are quite numerous, which is different from the situation in the mortal world. In the mortal world, the people of these aliens are not as much as half the Tang people." The person who spoke was Feihong, or to be precise, Feihong Holy Buddha.

Her tone clearly had a look down, and her sense of superiority was very obvious, just like an elite warrior in her armor, watching a group of bandits holding swords and swinging sticks.

Li Ye looked back and saw the array of Shimen, Taoist sect and demon clan behind him, which was clearly divided into three armies on the left, center and right. Although the demon clan had a little less strength, he was also very imposing at this moment.

However, the Taoist immortals fought with him not long ago. Although they are now standing in the same camp, whether they can do their best and whether they will stab the knife in the back in the event of a great victory is a difficult question.

Yang Jian seemed to see Li Ye’s meaning and said seriously: “Don’t worry, with me, Yang Jian, the Taoist immortals will definitely fight hard, and no one will stumbling behind their backs!”

Li Ye nodded, as he recognized Yang Jian's character.

In the Immortal Realm, one year in the mortal world. When the immortals are preparing for the battle, the situation in the mortal world changes much faster.

As one of the four imperial guards in Chang'an, the leader of the Yulin Army, Zhao Polu, was once a general of Li Keyong from Hedong before he surrendered to Li Ye. Now Li Ye has sent him to Yunzhou to work with the Langya Army to defend the city nearby to ensure the safety of Hedong. It is just right.

After Zhao Polu arrived in Yunzhou, he naturally went to contact Shangguan Qingcheng for military affairs and visited her wounds. When he broke out from the wasteland, Shangguan Qingcheng was seriously injured and unconscious. If it were not for King Qi's protection, it would have been absolutely no reason to survive.

When Zhao Polu saw Shangguan Qingcheng, he was not in the ward where he was recuperating, but at the head of Yunzhou City. In less than a month, Shangguan Qingcheng's injuries had recovered by 30%, but there were only less than 5,000 elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army, which made her deeply sad.

On the border wall, a bloody sun was scattered. Shangguan Qingcheng wore armor and knives, looking at the vast northern wasteland. Although his body was still straight, it was difficult to hide his lonely and lonely state.

There is no undefeated general in the world, and there are few undefeated soldiers on the battlefield. Just like the desolate and heavy border town under your feet, even if the iron hooves that have resisted the invasion of countless armies, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no day when they collapse in blood and fire.

Zhao Polu sighed inwardly, walked forward, clasped his fists and said, "General Shangguan, Langya Army, defeated Dangxiang and destroyed Shatuo, the military achievements are enough to be recorded in history. Although there was a failure on that day, it was also a large number of enemies, which was not a crime of war.

"I hope the general will not be too sad. General Mo has received three military orders from His Highness, so that General Mo must comfort the general's heart. It can be seen that Your Highness has no intention of blame, only respect."

Shangguan Qingcheng turned around and gave a gift. Although his movements were regular, they seemed stiff.

At this time, Zhao Polu discovered that Shangguan Qingcheng's face was so white that it was not so white as snow, but rather his sick fatigue and dismal fatigue.

The envoy sent by Li Ye to Xuanwei Langya Army in Yunzhou had already arrived, and his meaning was similar to Zhao Polu. But this did not make Shangguan Qingcheng feel better. The defeated general was not worthy of courage. Even if there were many reasons for defeat, if he lost, he would be defeated.

More than 60,000 blood from their hands and feet were sprinkled on the battlefield, and corpses were scattered all over the field, and they didn't even have the chance to restrain their bones. This was a heavy burden that the main general could not bear.

Shangguan Qingcheng asked, "General Zhao is here, can he bring his highness to the military order to attack the grassland?"

Zhao Polu opened his mouth, feeling bitter, and he couldn't even say the negative answer.

For many years, Shangguan Qingcheng has always been the most trusted and relied on by Li Ye, and even Liu Dazheng is incomparable. However, Shangguan Qingcheng is not good at socializing, and the generals are inevitably jealous and have many complaints in private.

But now, seeing Shangguan Qingcheng's appearance in front of him was completely lost, thinking of the wolf-tooth army's achievements in the Tang Dynasty's unrest in the Demo South, Zhao Polu only felt that his previous jealousy was too villain.

He said sincerely: "President Shangguan's injuries have not healed, the most important thing is to take care of his health first. With His Highness's importance to General Shangguan, as long as General Shangguan recovers from his health, the important task on the battlefield will definitely be the general!"

Seeing that there was no military order to let her fight, Shangguan Qingcheng lost his words and continued to look at the north silently. Her figure was worse than movement, like a statue, and had merged with the border city.
