The first thousand two hundred and twenty-two chapters a crushing defeat twenty-three

Li Xun and Kou Xiong worked together in the Ministry of War for a while and still had some understanding of this person. The other party's personality was not only crazy, but also very stubborn. For example, when everyone was in Lingnan, Kou Xiong insisted on his own, led his troops to fight, and was defeated in the end, almost ruining the overall situation of the entire battle in Lingnan.

Of course, Kou Xiong also has his advantages. Although he was born in a family, he was not afraid of life and death. Instead, he was very brave and good at fighting. He would inevitably charge forward when encountering battles, so the army he trained was often very elite.

After Huang Hui was transferred to Lingnan, Kou Xiong did not want to continue to serve in the Ministry of War, so he replaced Huang Hui and succeeded as the position of governor of Yunzhou. In just half a year, he trained an elite of 20,000 people. So in a certain aspect, Kou Xiong did have his arrogant qualifications and strength.

Li Xun sighed and said, "Some people are fierce, which is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing."

Kou Xiong is not afraid of death and is brave in combat. This is indeed a good thing most of the time, but it is precisely because of his courage and fear of death that once he encounters an opportunity, he will definitely move forward bravely and will never be a turtle shy.

Zhang Jingang said those words, which were actually reminding Li Xun that once a favorable battle situation occurred, Kou Xiong would never miss the opportunity. He would definitely send troops to launch an attack. Three armies and three generals, although each of them was their own troops, they were always on the united front. Kou Xiong led the army up. No matter whether he wanted it or not, even if there was a kang in front of him, everyone could only act together.

If Li Xun could not control Kou Xiong, then he could not deny Gao Shancai's plan, because if that situation really happened, Kou Xiong would definitely send troops, and Li Xun could only be forced to obey.

Li Xun stood up, walked back and forth, thinking about the problem.

Before coming, Li Xun was very relaxed because according to Zhao Xun's thoughts, the war seemed to be very large, but it was actually very easy. Nearly 200,000 troops only defend but not fight, and completely defended. In this way, what would Li Conggu use to defeat himself?

But when I really arrived in Hebei, after a conversation with Zhang Jin, Li Xun realized that he had simply thought the problem was simple.

Zhao Xun could command Kou Xiong and others, but could not control them, because it was people who commanded the battle, not explanation, and Zhao Xun did not issue an edict, clarifying that Kou Xiong and others could only defend and not lead troops to fight. Even with such an order, once a huge victory opportunity appears in front of them, what choice would the leading general make?

I'm afraid I'll still send troops, because the reason is very simple. When it comes to the battlefield, the possibility of victory is far greater than failure, and the risk is minimized. So, why not send troops? As for the emperor's orders, there is no conflict. I won, and this is the final result. As for the matter of disobeying the orders, what is it in the face of victory?

Li Xun thought that he could have absolute voice after controlling the logistics, but now it seems that it is not true, because once Kou Xiong, Gao Shancai and others reach an agreed goal, anything can be shared. At that time, Kou Xiong should speak, and Gao Shancai and Chen Qingzhu would definitely support enough food and grass to Kou Xiong even in difficulties.

Li Xun pondered for a long time, and finally asked Zhang Jin: "If you have a head, you will have a tail. If you defeat Li Conggu, how can you share the interests?"

Zhang Jin said: "The battle has not started yet. Isn't it too early to talk about this now?"

"If you don't say it clearly, even if you defeat Li Conggu, we will turn against each other for the territory afterwards, and..."

Li Xun said: "We now have a common enemy, and everything is fine. If we don't have this common point, what do you think will happen?"

"Gao Shancai and Chen Qingzhu have the courage?"

Zhang Jin knew what Li Xun was worried about, but he felt that Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai did not have the courage to do it. Any interests were determined by strength. As long as they had strong enough strength, even if they dared to think, wouldn't they dare to do it?

Li Xun sneered: "People's hearts are unpredictable. You have to understand one truth. If Li Conggu is really destroyed, Gao Shancai and Chen Qingzhu will definitely think about destroying us and then dividing Hebei. On the contrary, we will also think about the same thing and take the opportunity to destroy Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai and recover the entire Hebei."

After saying that, Li Xun said indifferently: "Regaining the land of Hebei is a dream of several generations of emperors and more than a hundred years."

Zhang Jin thought about it. He felt that what Li Xun said was very reasonable. The final outcome was really like this. If you don’t talk about others, the emperor would definitely be very moved. Then he issued an order to immediately eliminate Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai and recover the entire Hebei.

Zhang Jin looked up at Li Xun and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Li Xun pondered for a moment, then said, "It's a bit early to say this now. In this way, let's call Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shan over. Let's talk about it."

"I'll send someone to Hengzhou right away."

Zhang Jin stood up and said, "Where is Yan Yi and Kou Xiong?"

Li Xun said, "Call them all."

The day after Li Xun arrived in Bozhou, Kou Xiong's personal soldiers arrived early in the morning. Kou Xiong asked Li Xun to transport half of the food, grass and supplies to Mingzhou.

Li Xun told Kou Xiong's personal soldiers that food and supplies are easy to talk about, but Kou Xiong must come to Bozhou in person and everyone will have a good talk.

Two days later.

Yan Yi rushed to Bozhou.

"I said Li Xun, didn't you agree to have sex in Mingzhou? Why did you come to Bozhou? You also put all my 20,000 troops here. The imperial guards are my army, not yours."

When Yan Yi saw Li Xun, he complained.

Li Xun said: "Mingzhou is in front and Bozhou is in back. Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army. Have you ever seen all the food and grass supplies be placed under the enemy's nose? Are you mentally ill if you say this?"

Yan Yi sat down with Li Xun's hand and said with a smile: "Kou Xiong and Zhang Jin are incompatible now. Kou Xiong and I have a good relationship. Isn't it embarrassing for you to do this?"

Li Xun said: "Before the battle has begun, the internal generals are in conflict. This is a big taboo. If I really want to go to Mingzhou, it will only aggravate the conflict between the two sides. What else can there be good things?"

Yan Yi said: "What you said makes sense, I will listen to you."

Li Xun looked at the door and asked, "Where is Kou Xiong?"

Yan Yi said: "He doesn't want to come."

Li Xun frowned and said, "I don't want to come, so I didn't come?"

"I didn't plan to come, but after my strong persuasion, I came."

"Where are people?"

"I went to the imperial guards camp outside the city and said I was checking the situation of food, grass and supplies."

Li Xun shook his head. Kou Xiong was showing him his face. He refused his invitation and did not go to Mingzhou, but came to Bozhou, which obviously made him feel a little hated.
