At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 298

You know, the art of war at this time mostly followed... the strategy of close-range and long-distance combat in the Warring States period.

At least you can't make enemies all over the place.

Always have an ally.

Especially in such a chaotic world, with rebels against the king everywhere.

If you don't have allies, it's best not to cause public outrage.

But now, Henan County is outraged!

Directly Chen Bing's three-sided border has the meaning of devouring three big counties!
Changan.

At the court meeting, Li Yuan directly brought up this matter: "Su Dingfang, the leader of Henan County, wants to conquer our Jingzhao County. What do you think about this?"

This time, the ministers were not left speechless.

"absurd!"

"Insanity!"

"It's just wishful thinking!"

"It is absolutely impossible to attack my hundreds of thousands of soldiers with [-] soldiers!"

This is the first thought of all ministers.

It's just too ridiculous.

Actually, it's not just them.

Even Dou Jiande has more than 30 soldiers and horses.

If Henan County singled them out...

They also feel stressed.

But leading an army of [-], he said that he would take Henan County...

They couldn't believe what they said.

Pei Ji was at the head of the group of officials, took a deep breath, and stood up: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the old minister, the other party's actions may have other intentions!"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What's Xuan Zhen's opinion?"

Ever since Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, he doesn't trust anyone very much now.

The only one who believed was this confidant and veteran who had followed him for decades.

Pei Ji continued: "With few enemies, you have never been the leader of a military strategist."

"Leng Jianzhang is now in charge of Henan's soldiers and horses. He is good at the art of war, so he will definitely not make such an unwise move. I am worried that he sent [-] soldiers and horses to the three parties just to keep an eye on..."

With a thought, Li Yuan also sensed something was wrong: "The Qing family means that their real purpose is not to attack the three parties at the same time, but to feign an attack?"

Pei Ji nodded and said: "Exactly! Henan County increased its troops crazily last year, and now its strength is probably nearly 30. It is not weaker than us. He divided his troops out to deceive us!"

"The real target must be one of the three!"

Li Yuan's heart was shocked, and he took it quite seriously.

Moreover, the only three people in the court who are relatively capable of fighting...

One of them, Li Shimin, had rebelled and occupied his Taiyuan.

The other two, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, have already gone to Jianghuai, planning to attack Du Fuwei first.

If the opponent's real target is Jingzhao County...

At this time, Jingzhao County's military defense was completely insufficient.

After all, they only have more than [-] soldiers left...

Facing the world-famous Sun Ying, as well as his subordinates Leng Jian Zhang and Xu Shiji, it seemed a little stretched.

As for Su Dingfang who appeared suddenly.

They didn't take it to heart at all.

Just an unknown teenager.

"The top priority is to recall the prince first, and ask him to go to the front line to guard Su Dingfang." Then, Pei Ji bowed.

Prince Li Jiancheng, under the key training of Li Yuan, his military talent is actually not bad.

After all, all kinds of resources were thrown away, and Li Yuan supervised him all the time, so Li Jiancheng didn't grow crooked.

On the contrary, his art of war ability is still very strong.

otherwise……

Li Yuan would not be relieved either, and let him keep guarding the Turks in Puzhou.

"Now the Turks are beginning to intervene in the King of Qin... intervening in the battle between Li Shimin and Liu Wuzhou, they have no time to take care of me, Jingzhao County."

"Moreover, the prince is talented, wise, decisive, and has many famous teachers in the art of war. He has been in the field for a long time, and he is more than enough to face Su Dingfang!"

Pei Ji asked again and again.

In the end, Li Yuan agreed to Pei Ji's request when there was no one in the court.

Transferred his eldest son back.

But have to say...

The seeds planted by Chan Master Fa Nan in his heart have taken root and grown vigorously.

Now that he saw his son, he was a little apprehensive.

I'm afraid he didn't come here to repay the favor, but to collect debts...

For example, Li Shimin.

The change in Xuanwu Gate that day really overturned his three views.

He never thought that his seemingly gentle and elegant second son would dare to do such a treasonous thing like forcing his father and king!
If it wasn't for Li Shimin's lack of preparation, when he was unprepared for a while, speaking of it, he would really let the other party do it!

Once the opponent is established, judging from the forces he recruited in Chang'an City, it is very likely that the situation in Chang'an will be changed overnight!
Thinking about it so far, he still feels a little scared!
Moreover, after this incident, apart from cleaning up those Li Shimin's followers in Chang'an City...

He also decreed to abolish the privileges of several favored sons.

For example, before he believed in his son too much, he gave Li Shimin the power to ride a horse, wear armor, and hold a weapon after entering the palace.

Not only to him, but also to those people in Li Shimin's Qin Palace!

That's why they almost succeeded!
And this time...

"Decree, order Prince Li Jiancheng to go to Mianchi to face Su Dingfang, so there is no need to return to Chang'an to see me."

Because of the second child, Li Yuan didn't even plan to meet the eldest.

After hearing this will, Pei Ji shook his head helplessly.

After Li Shimin's downfall, he has actually completely leaned towards Li Jiancheng now.

This suggestion is also to enable Li Jiancheng to make military achievements.

After all, Li Shimin had made too many military achievements before.

He originally thought that this time, let Li Jiancheng gain some favor in front of Li Yuan, so as to stabilize the crown prince.

Where can I expect...

Li Yuan was hurt too deeply.

"Xuanzhen, after the next court, you can accompany me to Xianyou Temple."

When announcing his retirement, Li Yuan suddenly said to Pei Ji.

Today, he has a lot of doubts.

I plan to go to Zen Master Fa Nan of Xianyou Temple to clarify my doubts.

After all, Xianyou Temple has been verified, and it is a temple of true Buddha.

……

Hebei.

Golden City Palace.

Dou Jiande also learned of Henan County's big move.

Then immediately invited the military adviser Ling Qian.

"Military division, Pei Xingyan led an army of [-] troops to station troops on the border, can the military division have any countermeasures?"

Now he relies on Ling Qian for everything.

No way, since Ling Qian joined him, he found that he seemed to make up for his shortcomings in military strategy.

no wonder...

All the people in the world want to compete for the military division so much.

Even the Turks have repeated books, wishing to kill the military division and then hurry up.

"Your Majesty, Pei Xingyan only came here with [-] troops. It's just a bluff and nothing to worry about! Now that we have completely recovered the entire county of Hebei, we are faced with two major choices. Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"

And Ling Qian also received a secret letter from Xu Mu not long ago.

Give him a guide to the next plan.

"Either continue to attack the Turks, or continue to rest and prepare for the spring!"

Under Xu Mu's instruction, he didn't mention anything about Pei Xingyan.

After all, Pei Xingyan is really...

This time I came here for soy sauce.

The core is still on him.

Xu Mu hoped that he could attract Dou Jiande to attack the Turks...

Then fight with the Turks to lose both sides.

So as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Hearing Ling Qian's words, Dou Jiande couldn't help frowning and said: "It's the cold winter now, and Turkic is a bitterly cold place in the northern part of the Great Wall. If you continue to attack, the gain will outweigh the loss!"

Since ancient times, most of the conquests against the barbarians in the north occurred after the beginning of spring or during summer and autumn.

This is the best time.

During the cold winter period, the Turkic people lived freely in this climate.

But if the Central Plains people attack rashly...

It rarely ends well.

Back then, Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo once...

In the winter, the soldiers suffered heavy injuries in the end.

Fortunately, the troops were withdrawn in time, otherwise, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have to stay in Goguryeo.

Ling Qian waved the cattail fan, but showed Zhizhu's expression: "Because of this, Turkic will not guard against us!"

"I have a plan to destroy the entire Turks at this time!"

Immediately afterwards, what he said made Dou Jiande's eyes light up: "If we can destroy the Turks and seize countless war horses..."

"The strength of our army will soar! At that time, it will sweep the world, not to mention Sun Ying in Henan, Li Yuan in Chang'an, Du Fuwei in Jianghuai, even Lin Shihong in the south and Fugong in Shandong, these are nothing to worry about!"

It has to be said that Dou Jiande was persuaded.

The main reason is that before this, Ling Qian made countless contributions under his command.

Even the recovery of the entire county is the result of Ling Qian's command.

Seeing that Dou Jiande's expression was moved, Ling Qian continued, "Furthermore, the Turks have no faith and righteousness. Over the years, they have harmed countless people in the Central Plains, and countless Han people have been ravaged. The prestige of victory, sweeping the world, and the clouds follow the shadows, wouldn't it be as easy as flipping the palm of your hand?"

If Turks can really be destroyed, this deterrence is here.

In the future, if you want to capture the major forces, you will get a huge bonus.

Dou Jiande also understood this truth at once.

But he still hesitated: "What the military adviser said... is not unreasonable, but now Henan Pei Xingyan and Chen Bing are here, if it is not resolved, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

What he worries about is...

While he was dealing with the Turks.

Sun Ying came to add insult to injury.

It would be embarrassing if his back door caught fire.

"My lord, don't worry. Pei Xingyan, under Li Mi's command in the past, was only brave. He has never had much talent, so there is nothing to worry about. If my lord is still worried, I... offer a plan, and Pei Xingyan will be defeated!"

Ling Qian cupped his hands and continued to present a plan.

After reading it, Dou Jiande was overjoyed, hurried forward, took Ling Qian's hand affectionately, and said with emotion:

"Military divisions have far-sightedness and foresight, which is difficult for the world to match!"

He is very happy now.

I got a military division myself.

In the past, Liu Bei won Wolong, and now he has Lingqian in Daxia.

For a moment, he seemed to see a bright future for the Great Xia Kingdom.

The burden of unifying the world and ending the troubled times will soon fall on him.

……

Ling Qian walked out of the palace.

Then hastily wrote a secret letter.

It spread quickly.

The letter asked... Pei Xingyan to cooperate with him and play a play for Dou Jiande.
