Gao Xingzhou's defeat cast a shadow on the war.

The Chang'an Privy Council asked Li Ye for punishment of Gao Xingzhou, and even Xu Cun was on the list of punishments. Lieutenant General Zuo also complained about Gao Xingzhou's incompetence.

It is generally believed that the Tang Dynasty had an absolute advantage and there is no reason to fail.

It was only because Gao Xingzhou was ineffective in command and reckless in fighting, which damaged the Tang army's agility.

Li Ye kept all the money and refused to send him.

Gao Xingzhou was eager to make contributions and went out to fight in a hurry. Of course, there were reasons for him, but this also shows that the Jin army still had quite strong combat power.

The Tang army could push Luoyang to the right, but if they wanted to push Li Cunxu's main force, they would be delusional.

In recent years, the Tang army had basically no rivals except the Liang army.

There is inevitably a madness.

Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

Everything can happen on the battlefield. There are many examples of winning with fewer and winning with more, and there are many examples of cutting out a world with two kitchen knives.

All politics in this era are the continuation of war.

No matter how rigorous or exquisite your strategy is, you can't stand the front battlefield and you will still capsize.

Li Ye can look down on Li Cunxu in strategic and political aspects, but he will never dare to underestimate Li Cunxu's military capabilities.

While the people of Hebei are in dire straits, they have also created a huge military group.

Foreign wars can cover up all internal contradictions.

The Jin army went south, with one mind and the interests were consistent.

Of course, war still needs to be resolved on the battlefield.

"Gao Xingzhou's defeat sounded a wake-up call to us! This battle will never be easy. The counselor of the Privy Council summarized the lessons of defeat and ordered the army of the Central Plains to not advance in a hurry to avoid defeating each one. He ordered Li Yun, Han Yanzhao, Gao Xingzhou, Xu Cun and other troops to join Zhengzhou, Zhu Jin's army to protect Bianliang, Shandong Wang Tan, Hao Fei, and Xu Wen returned to Yanzhou to restrain Zhou Dewei, and wait for me to defeat Li Cunxu, and then encircle and suppress the enemy in Yanzhou!"

The unprecedented battle made Li Ye wake up quickly.

I used to think that if Yang Shihou Heihu was so heartbroken, Luoyang was so easy to fight, so I took it lightly.

If Li Cunxu makes a breakthrough in the Central Plains, the power in Hedong will still be rampant.

The Privy Council was appointed by generals from various departments, and the actual operation of the Privy Council was dependent on the Privy Councilors. They were all talents selected through military elections. They had to be proficient in military strategies, understand politics, and have a certain vision, which was by no means comparable to traditional literati.

Li Ye's order was conveyed quickly.

In April of the 14th year of Tianyou, the wind was bright and sunny, and Li Ye and the vanguard arrived in Zhengzhou.

The end of spring plowing has come to the end of all parts of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Ye came to deal with the war in Henan, he also had to pay attention to spring farming in various places. Although the Political Affairs Hall handled most of the government affairs, the emperor still needed to use the seal for major local affairs.

The grain production area on the southern bank of the Yellow River has been abandoned this year.

It seems that Li Cunxu also knew the long-term nature of this battle, and implemented military garrisons in the occupied areas and captured the people of Henan to farm.

After Li Ye entered Zhengzhou, Li Cunzhang's army entered Zhongmu. Before the Tang army, Li Siben, Hebei, led another 30,000 new troops southward to Wangmandu.

Ling Zhongmu's troops instantly reached 50,000.

This Jin army may not be able to fight in the field, but it is still acceptable to defend the city.

In the fourth year of Zhonghe, after Huang Chao ate all Chenzhou, he advanced north in the rain and rushed straight to Bianzhou. Zhu Wen asked Li Keyong for help. Just as Huang Chao's army crossed the Bian River from Wang Man, Li Keyong advanced greatly, defeated Huang Chao and saved Zhu Wen's life. This battle basically broke up Huang Chao's morale. Later, General Huang Chao rebelled and surrendered, and Huang Chao became worse and worse.

Now, the Jin army confronts the Tang army along the Cai River and Jinshui River.

Li Yun and Han Yanzhao first came from the north to meet with Li Ye.

When Huazhou was lost, Li Yun was ashamed and knelt in front of Li Ye with Han Yanzhao, crying, "I will be incompetent, please give up your crime!"

The former general is now gray and gray.

Li Ye couldn't help but sigh that Li Yun, the leader of the Ridu in history, was also known for his loyalty and had feelings and righteousness to Zhaozong.

"Waiting an enemy from both sides of Huazhou, the general can retreat with his entire army. Not only will he be guilty, but he will be rewarded!" Li Ye helped the two of them up.

The Privy Council reported to Gao Xingzhou, but no one criticized Li Yun.

Huazhou is not as low as Yunzhou, the city is lower, and the troops are not as strong as Li Shenfu, and there is no support from the rear.

Given the situation at that time, Huazhou would not be able to defend if anyone went up.

Li Yun and Han Yanzhao still looked ashamed.

Li Ye said in a sarcastic manner: "Now the great enemy is in front of you, are you two afraid of the enemy?"

At the moment, Tang Jun was like two slaps and ten fingers, while Li Cunxu made a fist with five fingers, and one punch came. Although there were many fingers, they were scattered and could not resist the fist.

Besides, as long as Bianliang and Yanzhou are still in hand, this battle will only be a temporary defeat, and there is no need to make it look like a big defeat.

If Li Cunxu was vulnerable, he would be sorry for his outstanding mark in history books.

Fighting against such an enemy, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

What is the greatest achievement of a man? He beats his opponents down.

The same was true for the Tang Dynasty. Since the beginning of its founding, were there fewer enemies from all directions? Li Ye has also had many enemies along the way, and there will be more enemies in the future.

"How dare you?" Li Yun and Han Yanzhao's shame finally dissipated a lot.

"That's right, winning or losing is not about the overall situation at the moment." Li Ye was also correcting his attitude.

At this moment, the scout hurriedly ran over, "Your Majesty, the enemy general Shi Jingtang is here to challenge!"

"Who?" Li Ye was stunned.

"The vanguard of the thief army, the vanguard of the horse army, is Shi Jingtang."

Li Ye almost forgot about this guy, and now he has come to his door.

It’s right to think about it. The three generations of the Hedong Army have almost all come out.

"The thief general is so rampant, who will destroy it for me?"

"I'm willing to go!"

"The last general will kill the thief and return!"

...

Li Yun, Chai Zaiyong, Han Yanzhao, Xia Luqi and other generals competed for the first place.

"The young general is willing to go." The man said timidly in the hall.

When Li Ye saw that it was Jing Yanguang, he was just a captain now. There was no chance for him to speak out in such an occasion.

For example, Li Yun and Chai are all generals. Xia Luqi made contributions to fighting Wang Yanzhang and was promoted to generals.

It’s just Shi Jingtang, there’s no need to let them play.

"Okay, Jing Yanguang, I will give you a thousand cavalry!"

Jing Yan was very happy.

In fact, Shi Jingtang was just here to investigate and fight, and seven hundred people followed Ma Zhi and shouted around Zhengzhou.

Jing Yanguang led a thousand Tang cavalry out of the city.

Shi Jingtang was not afraid at all and stubbornly fought with Jing Yanguang.

Li Ye also wanted to see the combat power of Ma Zhi and led his personal guards to the city wall to watch the battle.

Li Cunxu selected the brave men of the various army as his personal army, and divided the four commanders, with the title of horses and blue armor and red silk. Like the Tang cavalry, everyone held long spears and swords, and was good at riding and shooting. He followed Shi Jianyan, Li Jian and repeatedly defeated the Khitan and Liang army, and was once awesome.

It's like two long snakes strangling together.

The Tang cavalry used a crossbow and a bow from the horse.

From time to time, war horses whine, fell to the ground by arrows, and were trampled by the cavalry behind.

After shooting for a while, both sides will damage each other and then collide.

Although the people in Hebei are strong, the children of Guanzhong are not behind, and they still have some advantages in body shape.

The two armies were hard to resolve. After half an hour of fighting, Shi Jingtang threw down more than 150 corpses and fled eastward.

The Tang army also killed two hundred cavalry.

It seems that he is at a disadvantage, but Ma Zhi is an elite army in the Jin army, while Jing Yanguang's cavalry are just ordinary soldiers in the Shenyu army.

Moreover, at this time, Jing Yanguang was just a junior school in the Tang army.
