Late Tang

When the Khitan people no longer just rushed violently, but started to use strategies, although it was a bit unbelievable, it did bring a lot of trouble to the Qin army.Khitan united Mobei Shiwei and Haidong Heishui Mohe with a combined force of 20 and defeated the Bohai Navy.

Faced with the menacing barbarians from outside the Great Wall, Li Jing was very angry. He felt that if he could not fight back violently, he was afraid that the northeast would be corrupted and the rear would be restless.

On the outskirts of Yanjing, in the twilight of the morning, Li Jing gathered with the generals last night, and then discussed with Li Rang from the household department about logistics, food, grass, and military equipment, and then discussed with the Ministry of Rites about the upcoming first Qin feudal civil servant in Yanjing city. Exams, I have been busy until late at night.He slept very late, but he woke up very early. After a short sleep, he got up and washed his face, rode a horse, did a set of Tai Chi, practiced archery, and regained his full energy.

After exercising and taking a shower, Gongsun Lan happened to come in to report something. Under the guidance of the charming and sexy Gongsun Lan, she couldn't help but have a tumultuous time with her, and then left her limp and weak , paralyzed into a ball, she put on her clothes and walked out of the tent.

Stepping on the morning frost everywhere, strolling in the barracks.

The terrain here is relatively high, and Li Jing couldn't help thinking of the original plan.Originally, the Shangshu Province, the Cabinet, the Staff Council, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Ministry of War had already come up with a plan, planning to use [-] troops to send troops from the north and the south to directly threaten Li Quanzhong in Zhuozhou, and at the same time send people to call Li Quanzhong to Yanjing to force Li Quanzhong. Surrender without a fight.Then, the [-] troops mobilized by the Qin army will directly send troops to Yizhou, encircle and wipe out the tens of thousands of Shatuo troops trapped in Yizhou, and capture Yizhou, and then go south to capture Dingzhou.

It's just that things don't always go as planned. Just when he was about to send troops, 20 Khitans went south.

Compared with the favorable situation in Hebei today, the Northeast is extremely troublesome.No matter from which point of view, Li Jing must send troops to Bohai.Even if he didn't want to, he had to.

When he thought of these things, he couldn't help but his heart surged and his blood surged, which could not be calmed down for a long time.He shot from a distance, kicked a stone far away, and smashed it on the fence beside the barracks.

"Is something on Qin's mind?" Cui Yunqing's voice came from behind.

Li Jing turned around and saw that the teacher was holding a pot of tea in his hand, and the guard behind him was holding a food box, which contained hot breakfast, buns and fried dough sticks.

"I just went to look for you in the tent and said you came out. I knew you hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so I brought it for you." Cui Yunqing is Shangshu Zuo Pushe, Li Jing's teacher, and No.1 under Li Jing in name He is highly respected in the Qin army, and although he has a high status, he supports Li Jing very much. He does not put on airs on weekdays, relies on the old to sell the old, and rarely intervenes in military affairs. He only manages civil affairs with his heart, so Li Jing is grateful to this teacher. , It is Nobushige again.

"Thank you teacher." Li Jing said gratefully.Zhao Jiang and the guards took two shields and put them on the ground as seats, and put tea and breakfast in the middle. Li Jing, master and apprentice, drank morning tea and ate steaming mutton buns.

Li Jing took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile, "When the teacher accepted me as a student, I was just an enlisted soldier who had just entered the city from the countryside. At that time, the teacher had already served as the governor of many places. Who would have thought that a certain To be able to have today, this is really changing, and the times make heroes."

Cui Yunqing was also very emotional: "Yes, mother, you can turn into a dragon when you encounter a storm! Now, you are the king of Qin, the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses. These years, the world has indeed turned upside down, and the world has changed too fast."

"Dengzhou has become better, and Shandong has become more stable. Even Liaodong and Hebei have been able to return to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, thanks to you, Ji Yu." Cui Yunqing said slowly, paused, and then said: "It's just In other places, things are getting worse and worse. There are wars all over the world, feudal towns attack each other, rebellions are everywhere, bandits are born, fields are barren, and famines continue. Chang'an and Luoyang fall, the emperor hunts in the west, etiquette is corrupted, and morality is degraded. , I heard that the hungry people in many places are starting to trade off their sons for food, and the bandits are starting to use human flesh as rations. Ji Yu, this old man thinks we should do something!"

"Teacher, aren't we just working hard now? Sometimes, breaking down and building up, although it will inevitably go through pain, but it is necessary. I believe that one day, we will be able to build a peaceful world on top of these ruins." Stability, a prosperous world with no worries about food and clothing." Li Jing knew that this teacher was still a traditional Confucian at heart, and the concept of family, country, and world was deeply ingrained.

"If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, if you are rich, you will benefit the world!" Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing, "Is it really necessary to change the color of this world and break everything? Thousands of people are innocent!"

"The world is not benevolent, and all things are treated as dogs! Teacher, if we want to change all this, we must first protect ourselves and strengthen ourselves. Otherwise, if we can't even protect ourselves, how can we protect the people of the world?" Li Jing shook his head lightly. .

Of course, Li Jing also knows what the world has become like today. Although after the rapid expansion of the Qin Dynasty, with the depression of business and trade, the large increase in population, and continuous military operations, the lives of the people in the Qin Dynasty have been reduced. It has gone back a lot, but after all, it can barely survive.But in many other places, it is already quite bad.

War, famine, plague!

But Li Jing is very clear that these are not the worst, this is just the beginning.

"If Huang Chao and Puppet Qi can be wiped out, and the two capitals can be regained, the world will surely be restored," Cui Yunqing said.

Li Jing shook his head, even if Huang Chao is defeated now, this world cannot return to the past.After Huang Chao's chaos, the Li Tang court completely lost its prestige, and the feudal towns in various places have already been effectively separated.Now that the imperial court doesn't even have a Shence Army like him, what else can they use to restrain the world's vassals and towns?

With Huang Chao gone, all the towns will continue to attack each other, and the world will still be in chaos.

Li Jing did not hit the spirit of the Confucian teacher.

"Teacher, you should know that the barbarians outside the Great Wall are making trouble and are attacking the Bohai Sea, but they are actually pointing their swords at me. We can't wait for them to fight at the door of our house. We must send troops to Bohai Sea now. This time we send troops , Expeditionary operations, the weather in the east of the sea is very cold, and it is now the sea freezing period, our ships cannot move, and the logistics transportation is difficult, so we cannot dispatch too many troops. This battle will be very difficult, and we have no energy to think about it now. Others. Even if it was originally planned to use troops against Yi Dingzhuo, it may be temporarily shelved now. Today, we cannot take the risk of fighting two battles at the same time!"

Li Jing knew very well what the teacher said, and hoped that he, the general of the world's soldiers and horses, would be able to take the responsibility of controlling the world's soldiers and horses, and coordinate the joint forces of Hedong, Henan, Guanzhong, and Hebei to crusade against Huangchao.However, Li Jing's previous call to soldiers and horses from all over the country to seek thieves was actually just a statement.

It is not good for Li Jing to let Huang Chao sit big.But it would be impossible for Li Jing to run to King Qin regardless of the situation around him at this time.

Li Jing needed the title of marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the prestige of commanding the world's soldiers and horses, but he would not actually send troops to attack Huang Chao.

When Cui Yunqing heard Li Jing's definite answer, she was slightly disappointed, but she had already expected such a result.Li Jing was no longer the country boy who entered Dengzhou City for the first time back then. Today, he commands hundreds of thousands of troops, occupies hundreds of prefectures, governs tens of millions of people, and owns three parts of the world.

After thinking for a while, Cui Yunqing said: "Since Your Majesty is ready to fight Hu Qi with all his strength, and the Hebei battlefield needs to temporarily suspend troops, I have a plan. Maybe I can take Zhuozhou without bloodshed and solve Li Quanzhong's future troubles."

"Teacher please speak!"

Cui Yunqing said: "It's better for the King of Qin to directly order Li Quanzhong to lead the troops of the Yiwu Army to serve as the vanguard of King Qin of Hebei under the order of the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses of the World, and send troops to Henan to join the Henan Allied Army and attack Luoyang together."

Li Jing was taken aback when he heard the words, but immediately understood again.

The Qin army is now preparing to fight Hu Qi, and is unwilling to fight on two fronts, fighting against Li Quanzhong.However, Li Quanzhong's stay in Zhuozhou was always a hidden danger.Now Cui Yunqing has proposed a plan, which is to let Li Jing order Li Quanzhong to leave Zhuozhou and send troops to Luoyang with the authority of the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.Of course, Li Quanzhong was not really asked to fight Luoyang.

In the current situation, Li Quanzhong also knew very well that Qin Jun could not tolerate him staying in Zhuozhou.Li Jing's order was equivalent to giving Li Quanzhong a new choice. He didn't have to fight to the death with the Qin army, and he didn't have to be annexed by the Qin army. He could choose the third way and leave Zhuozhou with his troops.

Under the banner of being ordered to hunt down thieves, he left Zhuozhou and went to the Central Plains.Since then, it is impossible for him to come back, but he is still under the banner of the Tang army, and he has tens of thousands of horses in his hands. Therefore, if Li Quanzhong leaves, he can actually find another place.

In this way, Li Jing drove away Li Quanzhong and took Zhuozhou, without going to war, and without worrying about Li Quanzhong's future troubles.Li Quanzhong was also able to preserve his strength, which is indeed a win-win situation.

And this seems to be more beneficial to Li Jing. Li Quanzhong went to Henan to fight against the Luoyang rebels under Li Jing's order. He represents the Qin army and Li Jing. Positive performance can win more hearts.

Li Jing couldn't help applauding, this is indeed a unparalleled and clever strategy, defeating others without fighting.

As long as Li Quanzhong leaves, even if he takes tens of thousands of horses away, Li Jing doesn't care.As for whether Li Quanzhong will make a comeback in the future, and whether there is a possibility of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, Li Jing is not worried.If Li Quanzhong can really make a comeback, that is his ability, but he will never worry about Li Quanzhong making a comeback and returning to Hebei, because once he leaves, there will be no place for him here forever.
