Chapter three hundred and ninety-two: battle to manage the city

When Li Anmin was placed under house arrest in the villa, Li Ze once told him that he would be activated again one day. At that time, Li Anmin only thought it was Li Ze's words to appease him. After all, he had committed a big taboo. His two sons could still command the army in the army. In fact, he was quite satisfied. His future was overwhelming, but Li Bo and Li Tao were not affected. For him, there was nothing to complain about.

Until Li Anguo and Aunt Tao also moved into the villa, Wuyi's supervision of him gradually relaxed, and now all the personnel have been removed. After Li Ze's Wuwei won consecutive victories, he really believed these words a little.

For Li Ze now, his foundation is unshakable.

But he still didn't expect the day to come so quickly.

"Is uncle willing?" Li Ze looked at him with a smile and asked, "Mozhou was ruined by Deng Jingshan when he left. The situation is really messy now. It is an exaggeration to describe it as the four words "There is nothing to be done". But Mozhou is the springboard for the next attack on Pingzhou and the passage to Yingzhou and Liaozhou. We must have a capable and trustworthy person to take over. This person must have rich civil affairs experience and a deep understanding of the military. In this way, we can resonate with the front-line soldiers and cooperate better."

Li Anmin was a little dazed, looked at Li Ze and asked, "Can you trust me?"

Li Ze smiled: "Uncle has been worried too much, and the past is gone, so there is no need to mention it. We are a family after all. I think the uncle can see clearly the current situation. Once you prosper and lose, you will lose both. How can my uncle not contribute to the Li family?"

"Okay, then I'll go to Mozhou tomorrow." Li Anmin nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry at this moment!" Li Ze shook his head and said, "I have to wait until the New Year."

Li Ze said that after the Chinese New Year, Li Anmin immediately understood that Liu Chenglin was commanding the army to attack Guancheng. It was obviously inappropriate for him to pass by at this time. After Guancheng was taken down, the war this year will officially come to an end. Only when he goes by himself can he calmly clean up the mess of Mozhou.

"Then let's go after the New Year." Li Anmin said: "After I go, your second aunt is in Wuyi, but I want to ask you to take care of her."

"Second Auntie will naturally follow her second uncle to Mozhou." Li Ze smiled and looked at Wu not far away, but saw that the other party was looking at him. The martial arts practitioners were very clear-headed, and his voice was not small. In addition, Wu was worried about the situation of his master, so he must be paying attention to this place all the time.

"Mozhou is in chaos, and second aunt is very skilled. She is also a helper of her second uncle when she goes. More importantly, she also needs someone who knows the cold and the hot side to take care of her. I think second aunt doesn't like other unrelated people around her, right?" Li Ze made a harmless joke.

Li Anmin has only one wife like Wu in his life. He gave birth to two sons, Li Bo and Li Tao, and he has no concubines, and no girl in a family. In the past, Li Ze only thought this uncle was a dedicated person. Today, when he saw Wu's bow and arrow skills, he heard his father tell the origin of Wu. He suddenly realized that he had no choice but to be unwilling to do so.

After being teased by his nephew, Li Anmin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with his old face, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only lower his head to eat tea to cover it up. Wu's face turned slightly red and turned to talk to Xia He and others. Li Ze asked her and her husband to walk with her, so she was naturally satisfied. However, Li Anguo glared at Li Ze: "It's big or small."

Li Ze smiled slightly, picked up the tea bowl and had tea.

"Zhaoyi is in chaos, and the heroes are watching. I am afraid that the core areas such as Guanzhong Heluo will change. What do you think about this?" Li Anguo broke his silence and asked in a low voice. After all, he was a warlord who had been entrenched in Chengde for many years. When Zhaoyi was in chaos, Li Anguo immediately smelled the crisis.

Li Ze shook his head: "As you said, the heroes were staring at me and wanted to get the largest piece of fat from them, but I was tied up by Zhang Zhongwu and couldn't take care of him. I could only watch others share the food."

"Heluo Zhiqian. If you don't have any plans, how could you send Qiaoer and the others to Chang'an? Gongsun Changming, Tu Hu and other savages stay there?" Li Anguo was a little angry, "There are all his family here, and you still have to hide it. Would you rather tell the truth?"

Li Ze smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I really have no idea about those places. Mr. Gongsun, Tu Hu and others tried their best to maintain a force in Chang'an, just to protect themselves. When the chaos in Guanzhong is in trouble, they can ensure that their lives are safe, that's all."

"Are you really that?"

"Yes. You can only eat rice in one bite at a time. You will not be messy with chewing too much, and it will easily choke yourself to death." Li Ze said: "If you don't press down Zhang Zhongwu's strong dragon, I don't have the energy to do anything else."

"Zhang Zhongwu is almost at the end of his journey, so he can't negotiate with him?" Li Anguo suggested: "In this way, you can draw troops to deal with the changes in Heluo, Guanzhong."

"Father, this is to waste the original and seek the end." Li Ze shook his head and said, "First, although Zhang Zhongwu's strength was greatly damaged, he was still strong. Negotiating with him at this time would be equivalent to putting a sharp knife on his back. How can the child feel at ease? At that time, I have to deal with the heroes of Heluo while dealing with Zhang Zhongwu, which is the way to perish. Negotiating with Zhang Zhongwu is not impossible, but it must be a matter that can be discussed after taking over Pingzhou, Yingzhou and other places. By then, a Liaozhou will not be enough to be a problem. Second, the heroes of the Central Plains have their forces intertwined, which is more complicated than the northern land and have many years of operation. I will intervene rashly, and I may not lose a lot of rice if I steal the chickens. I want to see the Taoist practices clearly and make other plans."

"Once someone occupy Luoyang, what about defeating Chang'an?" Li Anguo suddenly proposed a possibility.

Hearing this, Li Anmin's face changed drastically: "This, isn't this possible? The imperial court's rule in Heluo is still very stable. Even if the 200,000 Shen Ce Army is not good, there is still no problem in defending Heluo Guanzhong."

Li Ze admired his vision very much. This possibility is not very small, but very large!

"At that time, Tang lost his deer and the heroes chased him." Li Ze said: "The people who get Heluo Guanzhong first will definitely take the lead, but it is just a first move. It's just like a black and white match. Taking the first move may not necessarily evolve into a victory and ultimately establish the victory. It is also a strategy to take the lead."

Li Anguo nodded slowly: "Since you have already made plans in your heart, I will feel relieved. If this continues, you can become the title of a king of the North. If Li can reach this point, it will be considered as glorious to the ancestors."

"Let's see!"

Most areas of Wuwei Jie Town are preparing for the New Year, but in places such as Mozhou, Zhuozhou, Youzhou, and other places where Wuwei and Lulong's forces are intertwined, there is no atmosphere of the New Year. Even though the weather is cold, the shadow of war always covers this area.

Both sides are dispatching troops in this area.

Guancheng has become the focus of competition between the two sides.

Liu Chenglin's plan to take Guancheng in one fell swoop and completely cut off the connection between Jicheng and Pingzhou and other places in Youzhou was forced to shelve. Because even though Zhang Zhongwu retreated, he left a backup plan. Fei Zhong, who stayed in Jicheng in Youzhou, attached great importance to Guancheng. Before Wang Sili and Shi Zhuang completed the siege of Jicheng, he had already sent a powerful brigade to help Guancheng. While Deng Jingshan retreated to Pingzhou, his subordinate Feng Lun also led 5,000 troops and went directly to Guancheng.

The arrival of the two troops made the Lu Long army in Guancheng suddenly exceed 10,000 people. For such a small county town, the elite troops with more than 10,000 people immediately became a tough trick to crack.

Jicheng, Guancheng, Pingzhoucheng, and three cities formed a chain defense. Any one of them would cause reactions from other links on this chain. Wuwei's tactical action of wanting to split and annihilate it was completely bankrupt.

In Zhuocheng, generals from Wuwei were gathered. The left governor Cao Xin, the right governor Liu Chenglin, the generals Shi Zhuang and Wang Sili, Zhang Jia, who had just become the commander of the Wuwei Military Commander and the commander of Wei Weishuo, gathered here.

"The people of Lu Long want to have a great battle with us on this line!" Cao Xin said with a smile: "That's as he wishes. Everyone, the most important thing on this line is that Guancheng is still Guancheng, so the focus of our attack is still Guancheng."

"Duke Cao, this is a matter of pulling one's body. Guancheng is not easy to fight!" Zhang Jia frowned, feeling that it was a little difficult to get started.

"That's true." Cao Xin smiled and said, "But we don't have to conquer Guancheng. Guancheng can exist as a bait."

Listening to Cao Xin's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Jie Shuai said it very clearly in the letter. What is the most important thing about the chain defense in these three places? Are they these three cities? No. The city is dead, but talent is the most important. Therefore, our next strategy is to surround the points and attack support, focusing on eliminating Lu Long's vitality."

"If we want to eliminate the other party's vitality, Guancheng has to bear great pressure, forcing Jicheng and Pingzhou to rescue him. Therefore, in Guancheng, we will mobilize the most elite troops to carry out continuous oppression."

Everyone nodded silently.

"General Zhang, your next task is to attack Guizhou. It doesn't matter whether you fight with them or not. Just keep an eye on them and don't let them go to Youzhou." Cao Xin said.

Zhang Jia clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, Mr. Zhang will not let anyone in Guizhou come out."
