At this critical moment, he died.

Zhu Youzhen and Li are very happy. Zhu Youzhen is happy because the biggest warlord in China is finally leaderless, so he can clean up Weibo's forces well. And Li is happy, because the best veteran in Houliang has finally died. It seems that Zhu Youzhen is about to start his desperate intervention in affairs.

The death of a general made our own people and enemies happy, which is also rare in the history of China.

After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he has been relying heavily on his brother-in-law Zhao Yan. After Yang learned of his death, he first held a banquet in the palace to celebrate, and after dinner, he began to sum up how to weaken his power.

Zhu Youzhen believes that the general policy should be to weaken Weber's strength, not to reduce the available troops. So Zhao Yan thought about it and put forward a plan, that is, divide Weber's soldiers, grain and money into two parts, and one part will stay in Weber, but later it will be called Tian Xiong; The other part moved to Zhaoming, Henan. Zhu Youzhen thought for a moment, thought it was good, and began to implement it.

But men in Weibo think this idea is really abnormal.

Weber is a traditional military force, and most of the soldiers recruited are from the local area. One of the important reasons why these people dare to fight is that they have kept their homes and land-although Weber is big, we are already in no way back, followed by the house of Ergouzi's mother! As soon as this slogan was shouted, the combat effectiveness of Weber soldiers immediately surged 10086 percentage points. But now Zhu Youzhen, you want us to move to Henan? What am I doing in a strange place? So Weber's soldiers began to defect.

Zhu Youzhen thinks I can't clean up Yang, I can't clean up your group of Qiu Ba? I rushed to send troops to control the situation. Weber's troops concluded that someone came up with an idea: I don't want to stay here. I have my own place to stay and I don't want to stay anywhere. I'm going to the Eighth Route Army ... Well, Li, how about we take refuge in Li?

Li was ecstatic when he heard the news. Heaven has eyes. In those days, my father shot Webber, and no one took it off! You want to take refuge in me? I want to collect these soldiers myself, and no one will stop me! So Li personally led the troops to move at the speed of light. After contacting the forces who wanted to take refuge in him, he made a decisive move and killed those die-hards who were still loyal to the Liang Dynasty. Then he announced to all Wei Bojun: Comrades, you have found an organization!

Don't forget, Zhu Youzhen also sent an army to watch Webber. The general of this team is called Herry Liu, who is called "one step at a time". When he learned that Li had arrived in Weibo, he was so happy that all his men thought he was crazy-a guard, he was ill, so don't put your life on it!

Let's go I'm happy, you know?

Are you having an affair with Li?

Fuck off! Do you think, Li will lead the troops to Weibo country, so his hometown must be empty! Let's hurry up and steal his hometown, and the battle will be won!

That's a good idea, but guard, we are stationed in Wisconsin. If we leave, doesn't Li know that we have sneaked into his hometown?

It's easy. Leave 500 people and 100 donkeys, and let Dozza Coss, a city man, put on his military uniform and stand in the city with weapons. Then let the donkey run around the city with the flag on his back every day and fool Li.

Li Jian saw flags flying in the city, and Weizhou was crowded at the gates, so he dared not attack the city easily. But as time went by, Li also felt something was wrong-this Herry Liu claimed to be taking it one step at a time and didn't attack the city for so many days. Why didn't the goods see any movement? No, there must be something wrong! So Li sent someone to test it-mom, there's no one in Egg Town! This boy must have sneaked into my hometown!

So Li finally sent troops back, and sent several Qingqi to go home urgently to inform him. However, Herry Liu's journey was not smooth. His men are mainly infantry, with limited mobility, and caught up with the heavy rain. Countless soldiers got beriberi, drank dirty water and had diarrhea, and fell into a ditch and died. Herry Liu walked for a few days, only to find that it was a death March in despair. He got a letter saying that Li had sent reinforcements back to his hometown. Herry Liu thought and thought that it was impossible to steal a house, but he still had one trick to make, and that was the way to cut off food. So, Liu Zhi turned his army and prepared to go to Linqing, Hebei Province to intercept the route for providing foodstuff in Li. However, just on the way, I got the news that Li sent reinforcements to occupy Linqing, and Herry Liu collapsed completely-Li, can you play like this? Can we still fight this war? ! !

Herry Liu, who made a big turn, withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to Shenxian County, determined to fight a protracted war with Li. However, Zhu Youzhen, who was far away in Kaifeng, quit at this time-Herry Liu, you have made a big turn on the battlefield, and so many people have lost in non-combat are still here. What do you want? Go and fight hard with Li Zhengmian! Herry Liu said, Your Majesty, are you kidding? I will die as soon as this state turns positive! Now it's a protracted war! Didn't Zhu Youzhen say that you are not taking one step at a time? Come out a few steps quickly and kill Li! Herry Liu said, well, I only have one plan now, that is, if the emperor gives me twenty tons of rice, I will have a way to defeat the enemy.

Oh? Twenty tons of rice can break the enemy? General NB! Can you tell me what to do?

Ok, you give me 20 tons of rice, I will eat it slowly, and I will be defeated after eating the plum. ...

Eat your sister!

Zhu Youzhen flew into a rage and sent eunuchs to supervise the army. Herry Liu felt great pressure. At this time, Li also began to play tricks-he first pretended that he had withdrawn to Taiyuan, gave it to his generals to station, then turned back halfway and quietly ambushed him. Anxious to find an opportunity to prove himself in front of Zhu Youzhen, Liu Zhi really fell for it. He wanted to take advantage of Li's return to Taiyuan and suddenly attacked. Unexpectedly, the troops had just hit the gates of Weizhou and were suddenly surrounded by Li in a sedan chair. Li pursued the victory and expanded the results. Now the whole north of the Yellow River belongs to Li!

At this time, Li was in full swing, and the combat effectiveness of his troops was the highest in the Five Dynasties. How strong is the fighting capacity? Let's put it this way: when he was fighting Hou Liang on the edge of the Yellow River, he had just unified the Khitan and established the Liao State. At this time, Liao could still fight, and many small countries and tribes in the north were destroyed. It is inevitable that Baoji is a little self-inflated. So he took advantage of the confrontation between Li and He on the Yellow River and sent troops to attack Youzhou. After Li knew about this incident, he didn't go out, and sent three generals to do it ... The unhappy Baoji went south to Youzhou again and again a few years later, and this time it was even worse. Even his four sons, Yelu Guo Yali, were captured alive and held hostage in Taiyuan for more than 20 years.
