Chapter 324 Alienation
The encirclement of Yizhou was initially completed. The outermost ditches were finished, and at the same time, the troops carried out the defensive formation and fully prepared to trap the enemies and defend.
About 400,000 imperial troops were attacking Hedong. Apart from the defense army of Qinzhou and Liu Dazheng's west army, about 250,000 soldiers of the east army were now gathering in Yizhou.
There were about 300,000 in total in the Hedong Army. After the battle of Qinzhou, there were over 10,000 casualties. And there were also a lot of casualties in the battle of Fenzhou. Apart from the non-mobile forces of each county and the northern border defending army, Li Keyong could only mobilize more than 200,000 soldiers at will.
Among 200,000 mobile troops, there were 70,000 under Li Cunxiao's command in Yizhou. Li Keyong had returned to Taiyuan and he could send reinforcements at any time. From the current situation, the odds were against th

At the Commissioner's Government Office, Li Keyong looked at the letter in his hand silently for a long time, and his expression was capricious. The civil officials, advisers and trusted subordinates who were sitting on both sides looked at Li Keyong on the main seat nervously, they were afraid to breathe. Li Cunxiao, for whom Li Keyong had great expectations, had seventy thousand troops and assumed at Yizhou City. He had a private correspondence with Li Ye even when the war was so intense! In Li Ye's letter, a large part of the content was persuading him to surrender. His words were extremely cordial and enthusiastic, full of admiration for Li Cunxiao, and the rich conditions of commitment made the onlookers envious! Not only that, Li Siben, whom Li Keyong arranged in Yizhou to help Li Cunxiao, was actually monitoring him and reporting his actions back to Li Keyong. The Imperial Army had been attacking the city for many days, but they didn'

Li Keyong was the commissioner of Hedong, and he controlled the military and political power of Hedong. The official position of magistrate in Taiyuan was also in his hand. Apart from Li Keyong, the two vice magistrates in Taiyuan Prefecture had the highest real power. Zhong Meili was one of those two young vice magistrates. He was in his fifties and was from prominent family in Taiyuan. His cultivation remained stagnant after reaching the Qi-refining Level 4, thus he had no hope of being promoted to the Qi-refining Level 5. However, this did not hinder his stature. On the contrary, as a core figure representing the power of the Taiyuan native family and controlling power in the government office, Zhong Meili had a solid "mass foundation." All this could be attributed to his transcendent wisdom in the ways of the world. Because of this, Zhong Mansion was always a place that was crowded with visitor. There were many high ranking

Changning Community was an insignificant region in Taiyuan city. It was neither rich nor poor, and was a common area, but there were people from all walks of life. Dongxi Restaurant was an ordinary wine shop in the Changning Community. It was located in neither a lonely nor busy street. Meanwhile, its interior decor was simple but elegant, without any bright spots. Therefore, the guests were all the usual common crowd. When it got dark, Dongxi Restaurant closed early as usual. The lamps that lit up the backyard were rather dim. It was evident that they used inferior lamp-oil, as it gave off an unpleasant smell. The only advantage of the lamp-oil was that it was cheap. However, the workers in the store, who were preparing the food materials for the next day, did not care about that, because they could not afford such lamp-oil in their daily lives. In this era, people started work at sunrise and retired at sunset. Only the wealthy families in

Li Keyong did not want his people to quarrel anymore, so he asked Fang Qingzhen directly, "What's your opinion?" Fang Qingzhen was one of Li Keyong's three great advisors, so his opinion had always been highly valued. Now, he said, "The root of the issue about the 13th Grand Guardians is that he has connections with Prince An. Rumors are not groundless. Now, everyone in the Hedong Army is panicky, which has seriously affected the general situation. To give everyone the true picture and quell the unrest, we must evacuate the 13th Grand Guardian from Yizhou!" Li Keyong nodded without speaking, and sank into deep thought. Fang Qingzhen believed that Li Cunxiao must go back to Hedong. After a while, he asked the Secretary, "What do you think?" "The 13th Grand Guardian assumed personal command in Yizhou and pinned down Li Ye and his almost 300,000 troops. He made contributions rather than errors. If we replace him without any real evidence, the o

Li Ye said this in an assertive tone and continued with a smile, "Although the Black Office lost some people in Taiyuan city, it's only a small price we will inevitably pay for the big action." "There is no intelligence and assassination yamen under Li Keyong. With only yamen runners and ordinary officials, he can't uproot the Black Office in Taiyuan city. I'm sure you will agree that the Black Office is well hidden in Taiyuan city. Even if Li Keyong's subordinates dig deep, they can't distinguish them from ordinary people." After listening to Li Ye's words, Song Jiao gave him an angry stare. Li Ye continued, "It does not matter if there is no rumor that Li Cunxiao will defect in Taiyuan city. A rumor does not have to last forever if it existed once. It has successfully caused instability among the various powers of Taiyuan. And, Li Keyong's prestige has declined a lot. Most importantly, Li Keyong now has doubts about Li Cunxiao."

With the help of the monks from Land Buddhism, Li Siben could escape if he wanted to. However, he insisted on fighting to the death on top of the city wall. Thus, he met with death. Li Sien was not the commanding general of Yizhou city, so he had less responsibility. Even if the war failed, he could comfort himself that he was not any better than Li Cunxiao, on the excuse that he was not the one who arranged and organized the troops. So, he left. Li Ye saw from the air that Shangguan Qingcheng had killed Li Siben. He also saw the route that the elites led by Li Sien broke away and escaped. However, he did not chase after them because he knew that Li Sien could not have fled to Taiyuan city. While attacking Yizhou city, he ordered the Zhaoyi Army in the three counties in the northwest of Yizhou city to block the road and forbade them to let the defeated Yizhou soldiers flee to Taiyuan city. Li Ye took a look at the northwest. Ac

He could recapture Fenzhou. Even though Liu Dazheng repaired the city's defense more than a month ago and had 100,000 soldiers, he could break through Fenzhou in three days and reverse the current pitifully unfavorable situation for Taiyuan as long as he was given a strong force. Otherwise, once Li Ye from Yizhou in the southeast and Liu Dazheng from Fenzhou in the southwest sent troops to Taiyuan at the same time and eventually joined forces there, then Li Keyong would really lose the general trend. He would have no retreat and have no choice but to fight desperately. But how many ordinary people and soldiers would still support him at that time? If the soldiers had low morale and no fighting spirit, how would they face Li Ye's elite Pinglu soldiers who had high morale? Li Cunxiao thought he could recapture Fenzhou and turn the tide of the battle. But he couldn't meet with Li Keyong. Li Keyong would

The sky was turning bright. In the south of Taiyuan, there was a steep mountain in the desolate land. On the summit, Li Ye stood against the wind on top of the pine tree, his hands clasped behind him as he quietly looked at the beautiful eastern sky scene. When the sunlight shone over the land, mountains, and crept up Li Ye's shoulders, the people he was waiting for appeared. It had been seven days since the Imperial Army surrounded Taiyuan. In these seven days, the Imperial Army didn't take any action, and Li Ye looked like he was going out for a visit and to camp outside Taiyuan. Li Ye had been waiting for seven days with many Great Cultivators and more than 300,000 troops, so the people he waited for were, naturally, very important. Li Ye raised his head slightly and looked at the people coming towards him. In the red clouds, two immortals with an untainted temperament walked toward Li Ye as easily as walking o
