Chapter 170 The situation

"You live here first, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Li Xun pointed at Wang Hyo-ri and said, "He is protecting Wang Hyo-ri. If the court learned the news, they will definitely arrest him immediately. At their own home, they dare not do anything randomly. At least it is safe for the time being. Li Xun will find a way to arrange the following matters.

Wang Hyori said happily: "My subordinates must stay here honestly and don't go anywhere."

Li Xun stared at him fiercely. At this time, you still have the face to smile?

Facing Li Xun's gaze, the smile on Wang Xiaoli's face slowly turned into a bitter smile.

Afterwards, Li Xun left his home and went to the palace to report to Zhao Xun if there was anything.

After reading the memorial in his hand, Zhao Xun nodded and said, "I have guessed that Li Conggu and others will have such a method."

Li Conggu occupied the five prefectures including Zhaozhou, and then reported to the court, requesting that Zhang He be appointed as the new governor of Zhaozhou, and to express the previous series of military actions with high sound, but anyway, no matter how nice it is, it cannot cover up Li Conggu and others, and use force to expand their territory.

Zhao Xun looked at Li Xun before and asked, "What's the current movement in Hebei?"

Li Xun replied: "According to news from the local government in Hebei, after Li Conggu occupied Zhaozhou, he further recruited troops, and his troops had expanded to nearly 100,000."

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Xun frowned slightly and said with a gloomy expression: "What exactly does Li Conggu want to do?"

Li Xun thought for a while and said, "The territory has expanded, and the pressure has also increased accordingly. With the end of this battle, Li Conggu's territory has increased by nearly twice. Although the war ended with his victory, there are also disadvantages, that is, it is hated and hostile to the governors of the other three towns. The alliance relationship between them has completely collapsed with this war. I think that Li Conggu was eager to expand his army in order to prevent the possible siege of the governors of the other three towns."

Zhao Xun nodded. Li Xun's remarks made some sense.

The larger the territory and the more cities the more cities, the more troops are needed to guard and defend. Li Conggu originally had 50,000 troops, and the 20,000 troops in the hands of Zhang Cheng and Zhang He brothers, as well as Cheng Feishi's 10,000 cavalry, which seemed to be quite large. However, Li Conggu's territory now increased to eight states, more than twenty counties, and more than thirty cities. Moreover, due to the current tension in the military situation, Li Conggu deployed heavy troops near the city of the other three towns and governors.

Because of the threat from the Oroqen Hu tribe, as soon as the war ended, Li Conggu immediately transferred the bare-straight army back to Weizhou to prevent possible invasions from the Hu tribe.

Weizhou is still the core of Li Conggu. Nearly half of his troops are under pressure here and cannot move. The remaining 40,000 people are deployed to defend all over the country. Faced with the threat of the governors of the other three towns, such a large number of troops are under too much pressure and not enough. So Li Conggu immediately expanded his army after the war ended, but his expansion immediately aroused everyone's suspicion and concern, and they were all imagining. What exactly did Li Conggu want to do in such a hurry to expand his army? Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to unify the entire Hebei region?

This is not impossible.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "What are the movements of the other feudal states in Hebei?"

Li Xun said: "After Tian Zhang fled back to Youzhou, he immediately strengthened his defense and deployed heavy troops in Beizhou to prevent Li Conggu from further invasion. As for the other two vassal states, after Li Conggu occupied Zhaozhou and expanded his army, they also began to actively recruit troops. The current situation in Hebei is still tense."

"Li Conggu has brought a good start!"

Zhao Xun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Li Xun, do you think there is still a possibility that a second war will continue to break out in Hebei?"

“Not very likely.”

Li Xun shook his head and said, "In this battle, Li Conggu quickly decided. It seems that both military and economic losses are not large, but now the five major vassal states in Hebei have become four. The alliance relationship between them has been completely destroyed. The number of vassal states has become smaller and it seems that their respective strengths have increased, but the competition between the people will become more intense."

After reconciling his thoughts, Li Xun continued: "Although Tian Zhang was defeated and the 50,000 troops were wiped out, he still had more than 50,000 people in his hands, and the main force was still there. Now Li Conggu's family is the dominant one. If he wants to take the opportunity to eat Tian Zhang, Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai will definitely not stand idly by. On the contrary, the same is true. With Li Conggu's current strength, there is no chance of winning at all."

Now Li Conggu has occupied the five prefectures including Zhaozhou and other five prefectures, and his power has increased greatly. He dominated Hebei, Gao Shancai, Chen Qingzhu, Tian Zhang and other three towns. Whether for self-protection or other purposes, he will definitely join forces to fight against Li Conggu, Weizhou. These three forces united, and with the power of Li Conggu, the family will never dare to move.

After saying this, Li Xun bowed and said, "I suggest that we strengthen the military power in Hedong. Once there is a change in Hebei, the court can respond as soon as possible."

At present, Hedong places, there are a vassal state of Yunzhou, with 10,000 people, and three governors' offices, 15,000 people, plus 15,000 people in Jinyang, a total of 40,000 people.

Zhao Xun said in a low voice: "Tell me what you think."

Li Xun said: "Kou Xiong succeeded as the governor of Yunzhou, and appointed Liu Jihui as the one who stayed in Jinyang, and sent a 30,000 Shenwu Army troops to Hedong."

The Shenwu Army has 30,000 troops, with a total of more than 180,000 troops.

After listening to Li Xun's suggestion, Zhao Xun tapped the table with his fingers, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly and said, "I will consider your suggestions."

A peaceful time passed, and time soon came to the end of May. The court politics during this period may be because Zhao Xun felt something. The three consecutive court meetings were postponed, but some things were hidden for a while and could not be avoided forever.

Of course, Zhao Xun also had to deal with some of the things at hand first, and then concentrate on facing the political struggles in the court.

After discussing with some ministers, Zhao Xun finally implemented Li Xun's suggestion.

Kou Xiong was appointed as the governor of Yunzhou, and Liu Juhui was promoted to Jinyang's remnant. Zhang Jin, general of the Sixth Army of the Shenwu Army, led 30,000 troops to Liaozhou, Hedong, in the name of military practice, and closely watched Hebei's every move.

Youzhou.

Tian Han stood in front of the current spiritual position, his eyes were filled with strong resentment.

In order to gain a good reputation, Tian Zhang pretended to behave everywhere, not greedy for money, not lustful, and did not make friends with sensitive people. His wife was also from ordinary people. His actions indeed won him a lot of praise and reputation, and he eventually succeeded as the governor of Youzhou.
