"What? Liuzhao rebelled? What's going on?"

Sure enough, Li Siqian did not fool Hou Junji, and on the third day after they discussed the important matter, Li Shimin got the news of the Liuzhao rebellion, and was shocked immediately.

The shadow standing below immediately stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, just after Wei Guogong led the young army out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the leaders of the Six Edicts were assassinated by coincidence, except for Meng Duluo, the leader of the Mengshe Edict. Except for one death, the leaders of the other five imperial edicts were all assassinated, not only them, but also some of their successors were killed, and it was a very coincidental coincidence that these people who were killed were all people close to the Tang Dynasty.

And the new successor hadn't even stabilized his rule, so he immediately held a joint meeting to discuss the matter of withdrawing from Datang.The result was unexpected, except for the surviving Meng Duluo of Meng Shezhao, the other leaders all voted in favor. "

"It's obvious that someone is blocking us behind the scenes." Li Shimin snorted coldly, but the situation has already deteriorated to this point, and he has no good way: "And it's not just as simple as blocking, they will definitely have a bigger plan ...In this way, I immediately ordered Li Jing to suspend his progress. Wang Tingchu called all the lovers over, and said that I have a very urgent matter that needs to be discussed."

"The slaves obey the order."

……

At this time, the young army had just stepped out of the barrier of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and came to Jiaozhou. They originally planned to rest here for a day, and then rushed into Nanyang in one go, and went directly to Fozhou, defeated the Hundred Thousand Elites, and took off Hou Junji. head.

In their view, this was not a difficult battle, after all they had Li Jing around, no matter how powerful Hou Junji was, he would definitely not be Li Jing's opponent.What's more, even without Li Jing, with the strength of the youth army and Xue Rengui's leadership, it is still very easy to destroy Hou Junji.

However, Li Shimin's sudden arrival made Li Jing entangled.

"What? Your Majesty wants us to stop and wait for the next order? Why is that?" Li Jing also looked bewildered. After finally walking out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he was about to break into the Nanyang Rainforest happily. The emperor is actually dragging his legs behind his back. Why is this?

In any case, Li Jing would never have imagined that he had just left before Liuzhao rebelled. After all, when he went to the six southwestern states, the six leaders of Liuzhao almost didn't confess themselves as their ancestors.

"Wang Sishi (Although Wang Tingchu is a eunuch, he is also the Li Yusi's Li Yusi envoy. When foreign ministers see him to show respect, they usually call him by his official official name), what does the emperor mean? Have we stopped? Could something have happened again?" Fortunately, the person who delivered the decree this time was Wang Tingchu, otherwise Li Jing would have thought that the decree was fake.

"Mr. Wei, don't worry, just listen to our family explain to you slowly." Of course Wang Tingchu knew what Li Jing was struggling with, and it was precisely for this reason that Li Shimin sent him out as the eunuch in charge, otherwise it would just be an imperial decree Forget it, where would it be his turn for the prince who is busy with everything?Just send a small eunuch at random, just to prevent Li Jing from doubting the authenticity of the imperial decree.

"The thing is, just after you left, Liuzhao, who took over the six states in the west and the hometown of Cuanren, rebelled..."

"What? They're rebelling again?" Before Wang Tingchu could finish speaking, Li Jing turned pale in shock, then gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "I knew that this group of barbarians couldn't be trusted at all. So careful, it turned out they were all acting... unexpectedly, I didn't even see it, it really is a good acting skill."

"You can't say that, they are still sincere, but all the people who agreed to be attached were assassinated and killed, and the new leaders are all against the Tang Dynasty." Wang Tingchu explained: "It should be our secret enemy. What the hell."

"What does your majesty mean, let us go back to the teacher to rescue?" Li Jing understood Li Shimin's plan almost instantly. After all, compared with Nanyang, the southwestern border of the Tang Dynasty is more important. If it is annexed and digested by the Six Edicts , then the enemies of Liuzhao are likely to continue to advance eastward, and then threaten the central part of Lingnan. You must know that Yuezhou City is here, and it must not be lost here. Why are you so nervous?It was because of this that thanks to Li Zhenzang's backhand, the Dongcuan rebels were blocked among the six southwestern states, and they were not allowed to break through the defense line and cause any damage to Yuezhou.

And even if the Six Edicts do not disturb Yuezhou, going north will be Jiangnan Road and Jiannan Road, which is even more terrible. Jiannan Road is also Sichuan and Shu, the land of abundance, and another big granary in the Tang Dynasty after Guanzhong. Before being developed, these two places can be said to have guaranteed half of Datang's food supply. It is self-evident how important the geographical location is.

The west of Jiangnan Road is nothing important. The problem is that the military defense here is loose, and the local garrison has no combat effectiveness at all. If they are allowed to focus on this place-this place is already regarded as the heart of the Tang Dynasty. If it is destroyed here, the loss of the Tang Dynasty will be huge It's just too big.

"If you are asked to return to the teacher, what is placed in front of you is not the central decree but the imperial decree." Wang Tingchu sighed: "Before our family left, your majesty had already quarreled with the princes in the court. , but after all, no suitable countermeasures have been discussed.”

"That's right." Li Jing nodded. He didn't need to personally participate. He could guess the current situation in the court just by guessing—it must be divided into two parts. If the imperial edict gains power, the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty will be over.

And the other part is also justified, Datang is important inside, isn't Nanyang not important?You must know that this place is related to the living conditions of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty. If it is lost here, the Tang Dynasty will really fall into a precarious situation.

"Now the two parties say that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right. Even Fang Xiang and Du Xiang are divided into different camps. No one can persuade the other. The matter is so deadlocked." Wang Tingchu introduced the situation in the court. Again, he asked Li Jing again: "So before our family left, His Majesty asked our family to ask Duke Wei, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty wants to ask me how long it will take to destroy Hou Junji?" Of course Li Jing understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words. If he could destroy Hou Junji in a short time, then he would naturally be able to continue marching. After all, Liuzhao just annexed the western part of Lingnan. By the time they have digested all the fat they swallowed, the young army has already returned, and it will not be too late to find Liuzhao's bad luck.

But if he can't figure out Hou Junji in a short time, he can only go back and kill Liuzhao first. As for Hou Junji, he can only let him get away with it for a while—Li Jing and the others never imagined what Cheng Jianxi's plan would be. How big is it? If Datang really takes this path in the end, the next thing to meet Datang is a set of serial punches. The arrangement went dark one by one.

Of course, as for Cheng Jianxi's plan, Li Jing and Li Shimin are not clear now, and Li Zhen is even more unclear. They are still discussing whether to first inside and then outside or first outside and then inside.

"That's right, that's what His Majesty meant." Wang Tingchu didn't deny it either. There was nothing to keep secret about this kind of thing, and Li Jing was no outsider.

"It's hard to say." Li Jing slowly shook his head and said, "If my enemies are only Hou Junji and those [-] elites, it won't take long for me to destroy them. The problem is that our hidden enemies will let us destroy them." Drop Hou Junji?"

"That's true..." Wang Tingchu's wrinkled face turned into a chrysanthemum. Since the enemy dares to play such a big game, it is impossible to say that they have no back hand. They just don't know what they are going to do. What are they doing, but no matter what they plan to do, they will definitely not let Li Jing kill Hou Junji so easily. They must have some countermeasures waiting for Li Jing. These countermeasures may not be able to destroy Li Jing's army, but they will cause serious damage to them. Some troubles, it's okay to delay for a while.

"However, since His Majesty's imperial edict has arrived, then the general will follow His Majesty's will." Li Jing also knew that the conversation had reached this level, and all that needed to be said had been said, and the rest could only be decided by the imperial court. : "However, please report back to Your Majesty, the king's envoy. I can only wait here for half a month. Otherwise, once Hou Junji is asked to gather his army, it will be difficult to fight. I also ask your Majesty, the emperor's court, to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, general, our family will bring this to you." Wang Tingchu nodded, turned around and retreated out. He still needed to report the situation to Li Shimin immediately, and he couldn't stay here at all.

"Come here, invite General Zuo Xiaowei and Lord Supervisor." Wang Tingchu left, Li Jing thought for a while, and had another idea in his mind, so he planned to call Xue Rengui and Wei Zheng to discuss it.

In the Youth Army, Xue Rengui is actually the real controller, but after all, Li Jing has the dragon's blood in his hand, even Xue Rengui has to obey orders-not to mention, Xue Rengui is Li Jing's apprentice, when he was fighting the East Turks in the early years , he, Fang Yiai and Du He followed Li Jing to learn the art of war and battlefield experience. The two sides had a real master-student relationship, which was different from Hou Junji.

Originally, this time Hou Junji’s rebellion could have been led by Xue Rengui himself, but even though he is the General Zuo Xiaowei, it’s a pity that his rank is too low, and his qualifications are far from Hou Junji’s. The status of the two sides is not right Wait, if you are sent out, you will be scolded. The commander of the first army is related to the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, how can you make people laugh.In addition, Li Shimin may not believe in Xue Rengui's talent, or it may be based on certain considerations, so Li Jing was sent out.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Xue Rengui was the first to come in, and he immediately called Master. In private, he always called him that way, and he only called Marshal when outsiders were present.

"Well, wait a minute, I also found Wei Xuancheng."

"Yes." Xue Rengui sat down quietly, waiting for Wei Zheng to arrive.

"Pharmacist, why are you looking for me?" Wei Zheng quickly came in: "I seem to have seen Wang Tingchu next to His Majesty just now, and saw him in a hurry. Did he come with His Majesty's will?"

"The thing is like this, just after we left...Let's discuss it, how should we deal with it?" Li Jing quickly explained the situation, looked at the slightly surprised two people, and asked: "One person is short-witted, and the three People are wise, I don't have any good ideas for the time being, you two talk about it, in the face of such an embarrassing situation, how should we choose?"

"This..." Xue Rengui said modestly: "Master has nothing to do, and the disciple naturally has nothing to do. Let's ask Lord Supervisor what he thinks."

Wei Zheng shook his head: "I don't have any ideas, but I have a question similar to your Majesty's."

"What's the problem?" Li Jing asked hastily. In fact, he has a solution, but he is not sure about this solution, so he wants to ask the two people for their opinions before telling his own solution.

"I'm not asking the commander in chief, but the general." Wei Zheng looked at Xue Rengui: "If you dare to ask the general, they say that the young army's combat power is unparalleled in the world, and one can count as ten. If you face Hou Junji—— Pay attention, what I said is facing, it is enough to contain his attack, there is no need to defeat him, under this premise, how many people do you need at least?"

Xue Rengui raised his chin and thought for a while: "Just hold him back... If you occupy favorable terrain and have enough supplies, 3000 people will be enough, but after all, the number of 3000 people is too small. If Hou Junji retreats or circles around In the past, we didn't have the strength to pursue."

"Then what if you were to defeat him?" Wei Zheng asked.

"If it's a frontal confrontation, 2 of us are enough to defeat his 4 army, but if it's a pursuit battle... then the number is hard to say, but if it's 4, it's definitely enough—I mean If you give me 10 people, no matter whether Hou Junji surrounds us or he flees, I have enough ability to destroy him, and I won't miss a single enemy—unless his [-] people are all strangers Knife team."

"It's definitely impossible." Wei Zheng smiled, Mo Dao hands are too difficult to train, there are not many Mo Dao teams in the entire Tang Dynasty, they are usually trained in Chang'an, and only the emperor can bring some when he travels.

What's more, Nanyang is full of miasma, dense water network, swamps can be seen everywhere, and trees are overgrown... It is not suitable for heavy infantry deployment at all, so although Hou Junji has many elites around him, they are well equipped, whether they are cavalry or artillery, but they are the only ones. The unit that is not equipped is the Modao team.

Chapter 916 Wei Zheng's Thoughts

Chapter 276 Wei Zheng's Thoughts

ps: It’s true these two days, there has been a power outage, and I only saved [-] words in two days, let’s post it together.

The following is the body:

"Xuan Cheng, what do you mean..." Li Jing just listened to a few words, and immediately understood Wei Zheng's meaning, because he and Wei Zheng thought the same, that is to divide the troops, but he was not familiar with the fighting power of the youth army. Therefore, he didn't know how many soldiers he would have to send to deal with Hou Junji.

"My idea is—since we can't give up on both sides, then dividing our forces is the only way." Wei Zheng said with a smile: "And you just heard from the general that it only takes a maximum of 4 people to destroy Hou Junji." Ten thousand people, if we send 4 people to the general, we still have 3 people. Now the only question left is, with only these 3 people, can you put down the Liuzhao rebellion, commander-in-chief."

"3 people... is a bit small..." Li Jing frowned deeply. The situation before the Six Edicts has also been introduced. This is a mountainous nation. They are born fighters, although Liuzhao only has more than 100 million subjects, if they are really in a hurry, it is estimated that it will be no problem to draw out 50 elites.
