Chapter 11 Follow the trend

“I only have one problem now.”

The weed-like scattered hair covered Yang Jian's face, but his eyes were still clearly projecting.

"The True Lord, but it's okay."

Taoist Nichen said he listened attentively.

Yang Jian said: "Why are you saying that Li Ye is different from those monarchs in the past?"

Taoist Ni Chen smiled, as if he had expected the other party to ask this question. He answered without hesitation: "From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to get two secrets of heaven."

Yang Jian sneered, "If you don't want to answer, you can choose to keep silent."

Taoist Ni Chen sighed, "Li Ye has obtained the secret of heaven, and it is indeed something that has happened not long ago. Bai Lu Cave's support for him has already begun. It is reasonable for the True Lord to believe it. But isn't this just right?"

"If he hadn't been able to get two secrets of heaven, how could the old Taoist give up his habit of selling chips to the Immortal Emperor and instead press all his treasures on him? If the old Taoist hadn't been doing this all the time, how could the immortal emperor believe that the old Taoist would still do this this time?"

Yang Jian pondered.

After a while, he examined the projection of Taoist Nichen: "I remember not long ago, the world believed that Li Ye did not support the country and revived the Tang Dynasty."

Taoist Ni Chen smiled: "Without the luck of reviving the Tang Dynasty, there may not be no luck of changing dynasties."

Yang Jian kept silent, but only looked sarcastic.

Taoist Nichen was silent.

After a long time, he sighed and said meaningfully: "He may not have the luck at the beginning, but he gathered many troops and was supported by the soldiers and the people, so he naturally had it."

"What is luck? If you are surrounded by the beautiful mountains and rivers and gather the expectations of the people, you cannot have luck. Who in the world dares to say that you have luck?"

Yang Jian looked up in shock, his eyes like a sword.

In an instant, there was doubt, suspicion, sudden enlightenment, and surprise in his eyes.

Not long after, he withdrew his gaze and lowered his head and remained silent.

Taoist Nichen waited for a long time and didn't say anything.

Sure enough, Yang Jian spoke.

He said in a deep voice: "I always thought that the so-called luck is derived from heaven, and it is destined to be born and cannot be changed after birth."

The Taoist Ni Chen said with deep eyes: "Those who are favored by heaven will naturally have luck. But those who are expected by the people will be like this? The superiors cannot follow the will of heaven, but the subordinates can still bear the will of the people. If the people can come to the hope, and all the people will look forward to it, the heaven will also have to follow the trend. The old Taoist will naturally have to follow the trend."

"The world is in chaos and the secrets of heaven are scattered. Why can Li Ye get the second one? After all, this is what he earns himself! Heaven moves vigorously, a gentleman strives for self-improvement, a gentleman carries things with virtue - Doesn't the True Lord understand this truth?"

Yang Jian opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a while.

Taoist Nichen didn't say anything anymore.

He did not urge him, and quietly waited for Yang Jian to make a decision.

After a long time, Yang Jian said, "You go."

Taoist Ni Chen said strangely: "The True Lord won't form an alliance with the old Taoist?"

Yang Jian chuckled: "I am the former Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, how could I collude with you?"

Taoist Ni Chen was shocked and could not speak.

"What you said may be true, but..." Yang Jian glanced at him, "Do you think that after suffering from this little bit of flesh and blood, I am resentful and want to go out of the Immortal Court, and be enemies of the Immortal Emperor?"

Taoist Ni Chen shook his head and said regretfully: "The old Taoist thought that the True Lord could see further."

"Farther?" Yang Jian laughed at him, "Fartherther is nothing more than the word "interest". I, Yang Jian, are you a snob? Tongtian, you don't know me, Yang Jian, so why are you talking about alliances?"

Taoist Nichen was silent.

After a while, he stood up and said, "Since the True Lord has made up his mind, the old Taoist can only say one regret. I hope that when the swords and weapons meet in the future, the True Lord will not regret it."

Yang Jian turned his head and was too lazy to look at him.

The figure of Taoist Ni Chen gradually became blurred and transparent, so that it disappeared.

Yang Jian closed his eyes and continued to silently bear thousands of punishments.

......

Yunzhou.

Li Ye was welcomed by Xue Wei into the other party's mansion in the city.

On the way from the city to the mansion, Xue Wei had sent someone to inform all the well-known civil and military officials in Yunzhou and came to pay their respects.

Li Ye did not object to this, and he also needed to take the opportunity to show his face in front of the officials of Yunzhou. After all, after the war, he wanted to "annex" the Tianping Army and become the leader of Yunzhou.

Only in this way can he thoroughly implement Pinglu's military and political policies in the three prefectures of Tianping, thereby maximizing the luck of the people here.

In this sense, there is not much difference between Xue Wei's choice to defect to Li Ye and Zhu Wen.

Of course, it is not without a difference, at least in Li Ye's opinion. If you defect to him, Xue Wei can have a bright future. If you defect to Zhu Wen, Xue Wei can be buried with the other party.

In the hall, Li Ye sat in the main seat where Xue Wei usually sat. Xue Wei could only stay in the lower head position, and had to face Li Ye sideways, maintaining a respectful attitude at all times.

Because on the way, when talking about the military mobilization of this Central Plains War, Xue Wei learned from this direction that Li Ye would always be stationed in Tianping and command the military operations in this direction, including commanding the vassal army in Hebei, so he said: "The officials within today can free up the mansion so that His Highness can set up the commander's camp here."

To command and dispatch the battles of hundreds of thousands of troops on this line, as well as the coordination and arrangement of logistics supplies, the affairs of all sizes are very large and complicated. Of course, Li Ye would come with a whole team to assist him in handling various matters. This is not something he can solve by himself or a few aides.

It is a very suitable choice to set up the command center in Yunzhou, and it is also the only possibility in Xue Wei's opinion.

Clinker Li Ye waved his hand and said seriously: "The Gu Wang's camp will not be located in Yunzhou."

"If it is not located in Yunzhou, where is it?" Xue Wei was stunned for a moment, and some candidates popped up in his mind instinctively: Jeju in the back? Or Wei Bo in Hebei, Zhaoyi?

It is possible that Jeju is safer and closer to Qingzhou. Wei Bo and Zhaoyi are also good, so Li Ye can more conveniently order the troops of the Hebei vassal states.

Li Ye glanced at Xue Wei, "Of course it was an unjust sentence."

"Understanding?" Xue Wei was stunned.

Caozhou's injustice is now the main battlefield for the vanguards of the two armies to fight. How could Li Ye set up the commander's camp there? Even if Xue Wei's whimsical thoughts, at most he could only think that Li Ye would go to Caozhou, which was already the absolute frontline.

Let’s go to the wrongful words, can’t Li Ye fight in person?

The commander who led a million troops to fight in person, how could this happen?

When the war reaches this scale, the commander of the three armies should be in the rear or central army, so as to better coordinate the military actions in all directions.

If the vanguard is unfavorable in the battle, and the commander makes any mistakes, causing the entire army to be in danger, isn't that asking for death?

If the army in the central army or the rear is in a disadvantageous and even fails in one or two directions, the commander will have the opportunity to re-arrange troops and save the situation.

The commander of a million troops ran to the battlefield of the vanguard army. Isn’t that treating war as a joke?

When Li Ye saw Xue Wei's reaction, he knew what the other party was thinking.

Of course he would not keep it a secret at this time. After all, Xue Wei was the commander of the first army, and he did not let his generals fight a fool. That was why he really regarded war as a joke.

The commander must explain all military intentions and actions to the generals in advance.

I'll give you a tip, you can open it when you get to the place, or do whatever happens. Don't ask more questions now, just lead the army and set off - this situation is impossible in reality.

Li Ye said lightly: "Yunzhou is indeed in the central military position now, but it will soon be no longer there."

Xue Wei looked confused: "It won't be there soon? I dare to ask Your Highness, how could it be the new central military position?"

Li Ye smiled, "Of course it's an unjust sentence."

Xue Wei opened his mouth, "This...the unjust sentence is now the battlefield of the vanguard army."

Li Ye smiled two more points: "The battlefield of the Pioneer Army will soon be no longer injustice."

Xue Wei was even more puzzled: "Where will that be?"

Li Ye had a strong smile: "Of course it's Bianzhou."

Bianzhou is the prefecture of Xuanwu Army and is also Zhu Wen's old nest.

Bianzhou and Caozhou are adjacent to each other, and the unjust ju is the only county between Bianzhou Cheng and Caozhou Cheng, and there is no other city. Zhu Wen was so anxious to attack Caozhou and destroy the balance of the country, both to seize the opportunity on the battlefield and to ensure the comprehensiveness of Bianzhou.

Of course Xue Wei knew this.

When he heard Li Ye's words, he immediately understood what the other party meant, which made him speechless and unable to speak for a while.

He had at most thought that with Shangguan Qingcheng's rebellion, the situation on the front line could stabilize. As for what Zhu Wen was about to be defeated, he was just to flatter Shangguan Qingcheng and it was easy to flatter Li Ye. How could he take it seriously?

But now looking at what Li Ye meant, he clearly took it seriously.

How can this be taken seriously?

As it turns out, Li Ye thinks it is true.

Seeing Xue Wei wanting to speak but stop, wanting to advise, but afraid of angering him, and eager to organize his words, Li Ye couldn't help but feel funny and said, "General Xue seems to have no confidence in General Shangguan's victory over the enemy who was invading the wronged words?"

"This... the lower official believes in General Shangguan and His Highness..." Xue Wei felt ashamed. Can he say that there is no?

Of course, in fact, he did have some confidence.

However, defeating Zhu Wen's vanguard army does not mean that they can attack Bianzhou at once. After all, Zhu Wen's main army must be not far behind his vanguard army. Before the Pinglu army advanced into Bianzhou, it must have a battle with Zhu Wen's main army.

Isn’t it that simple to defeat the main force of Zhu Wen’s army?

Li Ye understood Xue Wei's concerns, and he was too lazy to say anything bold before the incident happened. He just looked at the other party and said, "In three days, there will be a good news for the wrong words. Within seven days, the army of the Lone King can advance into Bianzhou. If General Xue doesn't believe it, would he be willing to make a bet with the Lone King?"

"Betting?" Xue Wei was about to ask what bet he was going to make, but he immediately shut up before he could speak.

He was not stupid enough to bet with Li Ye. Isn’t that clear that he didn’t believe Li Ye? Although he did not believe that within seven days, the Pinglu Army could enter the Bianzhou territory, he could not show his attitude.

Xue Wei immediately changed his words: "Your Highness is joking. If you don't fight this bet, your Highness will definitely win."

Li Ye felt a pity. If Xue Wei was willing to bet with him, he would definitely propose to bet with the three states of balance... and at the least, he would also want to get one state.

Li Ye knew that Xue Wei was right and wrong, but this did not affect anything. The effort Xue Wei should have won't be reduced.

He stood up, "The reason why General Xue suspected the Lone King was that he did not see the essence of this war clearly. Then let the Lone King tell the general what the criteria for determining the outcome of this battle is."

Speaking of this, Li Ye glanced at the other party, looked arrogant, and suddenly a tiger-like and dragon-like aura emerged from his body. "There is only one standard, that is, the Lone King or Zhu Wen, who is stronger!"
