Qingzhou, outside the governor's office in Qingzhou, the state capital, Yinyi wore a black round-neck shirt and a leather armor inside, and walked to the office with several followers and Li Yanli.
He is the cousin of Yin Yaozi and the cousin of Zhang Zhao. The Yin family is the natal family of Zhang Zhao's grandmother, so after Zhang Zhao came to power, the Yin family quickly gained important positions.
The Dangxiang guards stationed outside the office all knew Li Yanli, the second-in-command office, so they let Li Yanli in without any obstruction.
Qingzhou Dangxiang was originally Dongshan Dangxiang who lived in Shanzhou area, and was resettled to Qingzhou in the early Tang Dynasty.
At that time, these Dangxiang tribes who were placed in the Dongshan Division of Gyeongju and the Dangxiang tribes of the Pyeongha Division that were placed in Hazhou were the two largest Dangxiang tribes that could be called together.
However, the Pingxia tribe rapidly became Chinese in the late Tang Dynasty, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation were basically the same as those of the Han people. The Tuoba tribe also received the surname Li and gradually became stronger.
The situation faced by the Dongshan tribe in Gyeongju at first was not as difficult as that of the Pingxia tribe. Therefore, their degree of Chineseization was very slow. In the entire late Tang Dynasty, they were not even considered soy sauce, so they did not get the surname.
Li Yanli and the others were given the Li surname through continuous marriages with the Pingxia tribe. Finally, when the Tang Dynasty was overthrown and no one cared about it, they began to gain the power of the surname Li.
By the time Li Yanli entered with Yin Yi, the Yamen of the Gyeongju Governor's Office was already filled with people.
Wearing gray or tan clothes and looking a bit like a loser at first glance, he is a native of Dongsanbu Dangxiang in Gyeongju.
And those wearing green and black round-neck robes and speaking Dangxiang dialect should be the people from the Pingxia Division's disaster relief army.
Yin Yijin came here today to resolve a dispute.
After receiving Zhang Zhao's secret order to provoke a conflict with the Dingnan Army and asking Zhang Zhao for instructions, Liu Zaisheng, who was guarding Yuanzhou, immediately made a plan.
He sold 500 kilograms of Hexi refined iron, which was strictly prohibited from sale, to Li Yanli who came to buy it, and then revealed the matter through secret channels to party businessmen related to the Dingnan Army.
It was now 938, and it had only been five years since the Dingnan Army was defeated by the Later Tang Dynasty.
The Dingnan Army was still in a state of stress at this time, fearing that the Central Plains court would ask them to move the town again.
Therefore, in the past five years, the Dingnan Army was extremely respectful to the Central Plains court while working hard to expand its own strength.
The five hundred kilograms of fine iron that fell into Dongshan's party items will of course arouse the covetousness of the army. Five hundred kilograms of fine iron can be used to make more than a dozen sets of good special armor.
Li Yanli's father, Li Yuanzai, the governor of Qingzhou, was extremely greedy. He originally coveted the cotton armor that his son Li Yanli obtained from Zhang Zhao.
But the craftsmanship of cotton armor is the biggest secret of the Guiyi Army. Gyeongju Dangxiang is still in a semi-nomadic state, and even if they are given the craftsmanship, they cannot make it.
So I settled for the next best thing, hoping to get 500 kilograms of Hexi fine iron and make iron armor myself.
However, the five hundred kilograms of fine iron had just arrived, and the soldiers from the Dingnan Army came to the door and offered to buy it at twice the price.
Li Yuanzai was greedy for money, so he hesitated before agreeing.
Of course, the most outrageous thing is that after he sold 500 kilograms of fine iron to the Dingnan Army, he was greedy and asked Li Yanli to buy it.
Liu Zaisheng then approved another 500 kilograms, which was then resold by Li Yuanzai.
When he was thinking about buying another thousand kilograms at a time, Liu Zaisheng suddenly issued an order, asking Li Yuan to present the fine iron armor for a look, and then quickly sent out men to seize the merchants of the Dingnan Army and seize the iron armor. Block, that's why this 'negotiation' took place.
However, Liu Zaisheng sent Yinyi in not to negotiate at all, but to cause trouble.
Therefore, Yin Yijin did not even salute Li Yuanzai, but went directly to the chief who symbolized the highest status, sat down, and then stared at the greedy governor of Qingzhou.
"General Liu sent me here to ask Mr. Li why he sold the thousand kilograms of fine iron to those disloyal and unjust people?"
Li Yuanzai was not too angry. He, the governor of Qingzhou, said he was a high official, but in fact he was just a powerful chieftain of the party.
The Dongshan tribe was in disarray, and he couldn't control it too much. No matter where the strong dragon came from, he didn't take him seriously.
However, it was difficult for the representatives of the Dingnan Army to hold back their anger, and the words "disloyalty and unjust" have almost become PTSD among the Dingnan Army in recent years. When they heard this word, they almost felt Trouble is coming.
"Wu that man, who is he? Are you here to talk, or are you here to cause trouble? Who is the disloyal and unjust person? If you talk nonsense, be careful to get your tongue pulled out."
Yin Yijin smiled contemptuously, "You Xirong people in the Pingxia tribe, do you remember who saved you from the iron hoof of the Tubo people? Without the Great Dynasty, you would have died on the snowy mountains of Qiangtang.
The emperor ordered you to move the town, but Li Yichao dared to disobey the order. We, the Hexi Guiyi Army, are loyal ministers of the country, why can't we say that you and others are disloyal and unjust? "
"Shu Zi is rude? Do you dare to call Situ by his first name?" The people of the Dingnan Army were furious. The leader pointed his halberd at Yin Yijin, and his eyes were about to spit out fire.
Li Yichao was the last Jiedushi of the Dingnan Army. Even Zhang Zhao had to call him Li Sikong. Yin Yijin directly called Li Yichao, which was almost an insult.
Li Yuanzai felt that something was wrong. He hurried forward, wanting to say a few words to ease the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Yin Yijin moved faster.
"Etiquette? You, a Xirong man, are you worthy of talking about etiquette? Come back to me, Hexi Jingtie!" Yin Yijin was originally here to make enemies. He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed.
In fact, people who can be sent to negotiate by the Difficult Army generally have good endurance, but even gods can't stand Yin Yijin's messy and insulting meal!
"How dare you insult me, thief Han An? I'll kill you thief later!" First, a wrench flew over, and then the sword flashed, and a black figure ran over.
Yin Yijin, who was well prepared, quickly stepped on the footrest in front of him, and with a flying jump, he rushed towards the people of the Dingnan Army.
In an instant, more than 20 people from both sides started fighting in the government office in Gyeongju. As the master, Li Yuanzai, who had just taken a few steps, was stunned.
Sweat dripped from Li Yanli's face and dripped to the ground. He had followed Zhang Zhao for more than six months, and he thought he understood the temperament of the Hexi king relatively well.
Yin Yijin can be so impulsive, almost rushing to cause trouble. This is impossible in the Guiyi Army with strict military discipline. He must have received an order.
In an instant, the well-prepared soldiers of the Guiyi Army drew out their daggers. The office screamed again and again, and casualties began to appear.
A warrior who returned to the rebel army had his head broken, but two warriors from the rebel army were already lying on the ground.
'choke! Li Yanli drew out his long knife and looked at his father anxiously.
"My son is already the King of Han's. What are you still hesitating about, sir and brother?" After saying that, he waved his sword and went up.
Grass!
Li Yuan's eyes suddenly darkened in anxiety, and he rushed towards his son as he watched helplessly.
It’s over! It’s over! Whether it is the Guiyi Army or the Difficult Army, he cannot afford to offend. The only way to gain a foothold is to please both sides. If he falls to either side, the independent identity of the Dongshan Department will be gone.
He obviously invited them to negotiate! Why did they suddenly start fighting?
"Li Yuanzai! So you defected to the Hexi people? The captain will not let you go!"
"You southerners, Dong Zhiyuan, who has occupied the fertile fields of Pingtian, is not satisfied. You dare to collude with the people from Hexi to ambush the Taiwei envoy!"
Among the Dongshan party members wearing yellow-brown robes, some immediately stood up, pointed at Li Yuanzai and shouted curses, adding fuel to the fire without concealing it.
It turns out that Gyeongju borders Yeonju and Haju to the north, and Wonju to the west. The tribes in the north have long been infiltrated and controlled by the Dingnan Army. Although Li Yuanzai is a powerful chieftain of the Dongshan tribe, he can't control them at all.
Moreover, the north of Gyeongju was poor, but Dongzhiyuan in the south was a prosperous place that was later known as the best loess land in the world and the granary of Longdong.
The Dongshan people in the north joined the Dingnan Army because they wanted to take advantage of the Dingnan Army and share the rich land in the south.
Now when they saw that the special envoy of the Dingnan Army had suffered a loss, Li Yuanzai's sons all went up, and they were immediately overjoyed. This was a good opportunity for the people from the south to be taught a lesson by Lieutenant Li!
"My mother's white lion, don't slander anyone. Why did I ever seek refuge with the people from Hexi?" Li Yuanzai clearly knew what the other party meant, and he jumped to retort.
But he never thought that Li Yanli's elder brother Li Yansi had long wanted to go to Guanzhong with the Guiyi Army to live a good life. His younger brother Mianjia, he had been coveting for a long time.
Moreover, his younger brother Li Yanli not only brought two thousand people to Guanzhong with Zhang Zhao, but now they are all wielding knives. Their family has a hundred mouths and they can't explain it clearly. Several tribes in the north and the Difficult Army will also use the topic to make use of it. There is no way. Have to explain.
Thinking of this, Li Yansi also drew his long sword and rushed forward with several heads in the room. As soon as they stepped forward, several tribesmen from the north also drew their long swords and joined in.
Suddenly, the fire in the state office became more intense due to the participation of Dongshan Department Party members.
At first, the leaders of the government office started fighting, then the guards from both sides outside the government office began to fight. Finally, in Qingzhou City, people from the north and south of the Dongshan Department also started fighting.
This party in the north of Gyeongju is pro-insurgent of the Xia tribe's Dingnan army. It has always wanted to annex Qingzhou to the Dingnan army and then occupy Dong Zhiyuan. It usually relies on the support of the Pingxia tribe and is quite arrogant.
The Dongshan tribe in the south, headed by Li Yuanzai and others, advocates maintaining a little independence. Even if they want to join the Dingnan Army, they must do so only if there are benefits. In addition, if they occupy a good place, they are not willing to share it with the tribes in the north. Dong Zhiyuan.
Therefore, the conflicts among the people of the North and South Dongshan tribes were not small. Once the war started, the war quickly spread to the entire Gyeongju city and the suburbs.
At this time, there were about 50,000 people in Dongshan Dangxiang, Gyeongju. They were only semi-nomadic people. Although the equipment was not good, everyone could shoot two arrows.
On weekdays, there are old grudges mixed in with each other, and I can’t hold them back anymore.
The men started fighting with bows, arrows and iron knives, and the women followed suit with wooden guns and sticks. Even children of seven, eight or ten years old began to fight each other.
soon! Just after Yin Yijin and Li Yanli killed dozens of people in the government office, the entire Qingzhou became a mess.
After thousands of people from the northern tribe were expelled from the city, the southern tribes were still chasing and fighting. They were crying and howling. Even Li Yuanzai couldn't control it, and the war quickly began to spread.
"Yin Dutou, please quickly ask for help from Ambassador Liu of Yuanzhou! The cavalry of the Dingnan Army will soon go south to Qingzhou City after receiving the news.
There is no danger to defend the city, so we retreat to Yima Pass near Jingzhou. "Li Yansi looked at his younger brothers Li Yanli and Yin Yijin with a very complicated expression and said.
The landform of Gyeongju is an inverted U-shape, with high east and west sides. Especially Liupan Mountain in the west and Ziwuling Mountain in the east are inconvenient to pass through.
The Yangquan Mountain to the north is slightly shorter, while the Guanzhong Plain to the south is extremely gentle.
However, although there is also Yangquan Mountain in the north, rivers such as Malingshui (Malian River) and Baima River flow from north to south, creating a very gentle river valley.
Therefore, it is much easier for the Dingnan Army's cavalry to come from the north than it is for the Guiyi Army to cross Liupan Mountain from the west. The Guiyi Army in Yuanzhou may have only reached halfway before the Dingnan Army arrived.
Yin Yijin was also a little confused. He originally thought that he would just kill the dozens of envoys from the Dingnan Army, and then wait for King Zhang and Li Yiyin to argue with each other for a while before starting a fight.
But he didn't expect that the conflict between the north and the south of Dongshan Dangxiang in Gyeongju was so deep that once the fight continued, he would be completely unstoppable!
Not only were the envoys of the Dingnan Army killed, but hundreds of North Gyeongju party members who had defected to the Dingnan Army were also killed, and there were still people from South Gyeongju who were chasing them.
Liangzi formed a strong alliance at once, and the Dingnan Army would definitely send troops in order to continue to control Dangxiang in Beidongshan.
"We cannot abandon Gyeongju City. Abandoning Gyeongju City means that we have a guilty conscience. It will be difficult for you to get it back. General Liu of Yuanzhou has been prepared. We will hold on for more than a month and King Han's army will arrive."
Yin Yijin gritted his molars and said that he didn't care at all whether Li Yuanzai could get back Qingzhou City.
What he is concerned about is that if Li Yansi abandons the defense of Qingzhou City and the trouble-making army withdraws as soon as possible, then there will be no way to fight.

"Sir, send Aniang and the others away and kill the sheep and cattle for reserves. Let's fight!"
Li Yanli was very confident. This came from Zhang Zhao's style of never abandoning anyone on the battlefield.
When the chaos in Guanzhong was quelled, not a single wounded member of the Guiyi Army was left behind, and almost all those who could be saved were saved. Li Yanli believed that Zhang Zhao would definitely come.
"I will be killed by you two beasts sooner or later!"
Looking at the eldest son and the second son who were already on top and thinking of their eldest son and second son who were rewarded for their meritorious service with King Zhang Han, Li Yuanzai could only curse in pain, and then hurried down to prepare for defense.
