Chapter 231 Meng Zhixiang

Soon after, Jin Wang Li Keyong, who won most of Hebei, established a temporary military mansion - Hebei and Henan Qianying Shogunate, which was responsible for the southward attack on Bian.

Li Keyong, the king of Jin, was in charge of the military seal and presided over all affairs. He had his son Li Cunxu, Zhou Dewei, the commander of the Fan and Han horse infantry, Shi Jiantang, the vanguard commander, and An Yuanxin and other generals...

Jin Wang's subordinates and many other generals collected and sorted out the news, while Jin Wang Li Keyong and a group of staff were responsible for formulating strategies and began to prepare for launching a war against Bianzhou.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jin Wang Li Keyong suddenly got a message: Khitan is attacking Youyun!

Li Keyong was sitting in the lobby of the shogunate.After he got the news, he was really taken aback.

"Khitan will go south at this time?"

The next staff member who came to report the letter immediately said: "Report to King Jin, what you said is true."

With that said, the staff came forward and handed the memorial to Li Keyong.Li Ke took a look at the report and finally confirmed the news.

Li Keyong was not afraid of Khitan, but rather of side effects.He has now had a showdown with the bad handsome, and he still doesn't know how the bad handsome will deal with him.Khitan's dispatch of troops at this juncture did bring some difficulties to Li Keyong.

Moreover, Youzhou is the horse herding land that Li Keyong had already decided on, and it was also a natural barrier for the Central Plains Dynasty to resist the nomads, so it must not be lost!
Youzhou must not be lost, and Bianzhou must also be fought... This means that Li Keyong must use troops on two fronts!
Li Cunxu, who was off the field, was also a big head. He asked Yelu Lage to encourage Yelu Abaoji's men to send troops, but he didn't expect to send troops at this time... This is really, the plan can't keep up with the changes!
At this time, the staff member who originally played the report said: "I would like to report to King Jin, according to my subordinates, there is absolutely no room for loss in Youzhou.

The dynasties of the Central Plains have been based on nothing more than the barriers of the sixteen prefectures of Youyun.Once Youzhou is lost, it is easy for the Khitan army to enter the Central Plains... Moreover, Youzhou is an important town, which has always been a battleground for military strategists. Its military status is also extremely important for our Jin Kingdom.The minister suggested that the overall strategy should be readjusted immediately, sending troops northward, repelling the Khitan, and taking advantage of the chaos to take Liu Shouguang's Lulong Youzhou! "

"It makes sense." Li Keyong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, the Bianzhou army has no combat power, and Yuan Tiangang has no sense of justice, so it must be extremely easy to break through. It's rare that it's just that person, but Khitan is not. He is a master who can fight..."

Li Keyong pondered for a moment, and then said immediately: "Li Cunxu listened to the order, the king ordered you to recruit envoys for Youzhou, with [-] headquarters, [-] silver guns to serve the rebel army, and [-] soldiers in Chengde. , first adjust the horses to rush to help, not only retreat to Khitan, but also go to Youzhou!"

Li Cunxu immediately clasped his fists and said, "The minister accepts the decree."

"Meng Zhixiang listened to the order. This king will appoint you as the governor of Youzhou. You will be fully responsible for the supply of military rations and preparations for military expenses for the various ministries in the conquest of Youzhou. You will also send people to nearby places to appease the people and let the people settle down to their duties."

"I obey the order!" Meng Zhixiang also stepped forward and clasped his fists.

This person is actually Meng Zhixiang?
Li Cunxu turned his head and looked at the staff who had spoken before, and couldn't help being a little surprised.As far as he knows, Meng Zhixiang seems to be the later King of Shu, right?

But the current king of Shu seems to be Wang Yan...

Li Cunxu was very surprised by this.

What he didn't know was that in history, Wang Jian and Wang Yan's Shu Kingdom was the former Shu, while Meng Zhixiang's Shu Kingdom was the Later Shu.

But in any case, Li Cunxu has a heart for Meng Zhixiang.To be the king of Shu in the future, no matter what, this person is very ambitious!
……

in a camp.

Li Cunxu and a group of confidants are discussing countermeasures.

"Father has appointed me as Youzhou recruiter, and Meng Zhixiang judged the Youzhou government affairs, aiming to solve the Youzhou affairs...Anshi, do you know Meng Zhixiang?"

Guo Chongtao looked at Li Cunxu with a strange expression, and said, "My lord, you... really don't know Meng Zhixiang?"

Li Cunxu was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Seeing Li Cunxu's puzzled face, Guo Chongtao really believed it: "Meng Zhixiang, whose name is Baoyin, is the envoy of the Jin Kingdom...Of course, the most important thing is his wife, Li Shi, who is the daughter of Li Kerang, the younger brother of King Jin."

Li Kerang's daughter?

Only then did Li Cunxu vaguely recall something about Li Kerang.

In fact, Li Cunxu is not very familiar with his uncle.Because before he was born, Li Kerang had already been killed by Huang Chao for defeating Huang Chao.

However, Meng Zhixiang's wife is Li Kerang's daughter, which surprised Li Cunxu.

His complexion suddenly became a little strange.

So, is this Meng Zhixiang his brother-in-law?

"..."

At this time, Guo Chongtao continued: "This Meng Zhixiang has a lot of strategy. In the eyes of my subordinates, his intelligence is far superior to that of my subordinates..."

"Anshi has great talent, so don't belittle yourself." Li Cunxu comforted.Guo Chongtao is just being modest, he doesn't believe that Meng Zhixiang's talent can far surpass Guo Chongtao.

Afterwards, he turned his head again and said to Wang Jianji who was beside him: "Father transferred Yang Shihou's 8000 silver guns to me, but Yang Shihou is too old to be a general, so I decided to transfer these [-] people to your command. Although these people are all subjugated soldiers, they are also arrogant soldiers...to subdue these people, I will hand it over to you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianji immediately cupped his fists and said seriously, "Thank you, Your Highness! The final general will definitely do his best!"

At this time, I heard Guo Chongtao say again: "Your Highness, during this trip to Youzhou, this subordinate feels that one person may come in handy."

Li Cunxu looked at him and asked, "Who?"

Guo Chongtao spat out three words: "Wang Yanzhang!"

Li Cunxu frowned: "I'm afraid Wang Yanzhang won't vote for me, right?"

Guo Chongtao shook his head and explained: "Although Wang Yanzhang has never surrendered, he has always been greeted by us with good wine and good food... If things go on like this, everyone will feel embarrassed.

And Wang Yanzhang is not mediocre, he knows it in his heart!The state of Liang is dead, and it is not by our hands. It is impossible for him to surrender to bad people. Therefore, he can only go by surrendering to the lord. "

Li Cunxu thought for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Although Wang Yanzhang is a general, I think there is someone who is more suitable than him. It can be said that he is better than worse."

Guo Chongtao immediately became interested: "Dare to ask my lord, who is this person?"

"you!"

"Me?" Guo Chongtao was a little surprised when he heard this.

"That's right." Li Cunxu nodded, and said, "I remember that in Anshi, you were originally the commander of the Fengyi Army, and you were also extremely good at marching and fighting. It is really overkill for you to be a spy chief... Now, Ben will appoint you Guo Chongtao, concurrently serving as the commander of the Fengyi Army, will lead the army to the expedition!"

Guo Chongtao's face was moved when he heard the words, and he clasped his fists and said, "The general will obey!"

"However, there is some truth to what An Shi said before. After all, Wang Yanzhang has great prestige in the Liang Kingdom, and most of the local town soldiers under my command are Liang soldiers. If Wang Yanzhang can come forward, these soldiers will definitely return immediately! "

 Meng Zhixiang is indeed Li Cunxu's brother-in-law.But it's not sure if it's my brother-in-law.Meng Zhixiang's wife, Princess Qionghua, is said to be Li Keyong's own daughter and Li Cunxu's own sister.The other is Li Kerang's daughter.

  Moreover, in history, Meng Zhixiang was indeed Li Cunxu's subordinate.After Li Cunxu proclaimed himself emperor and died, he refused to accept Li Siyuan's succession as emperor, so he established himself in Shu.
