The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 428 Talking at night under the moon, the military god loves
Chapter 420 Six Night Talk under the Moon, the Military God Loves
Diaoyin County, which is deep inland of the Great Wall, also belongs to the county under Li Tang's rule at this time.

However, at this time, the two riders galloped past one after the other, galloping towards Jizhou!

These two people are Gao Qi and Li Jing, they have been running at this speed for more than several days.

Logically speaking, neither Gao Qi nor Li Jing should easily set foot in the counties under Li Tang's rule. If their identities are revealed, they will be encircled and suppressed by the Tang army.

However, in order to be able to surrender Li Jing, Gao Qi didn't care about his own safety at all, and was fearless.

…………

A few days later, the two riders had crossed the Taihang Mountains and entered the border town of Hengshan County, the territory of Jingchao.

On this day, the night was bright, and a trace of wind and sand floated in the night wind, and the wind and sand passed by, and the crescent moon in the sky slowly emerged from the clouds, shining on the ups and downs of the earth.

At this time, Yiqi couldn't help dismounting slowly, tied the mount aside, and lit a pile of flames from the side for lighting!

Immediately, the man sat upright, leaning against the fire, and began to recuperate.

This person was Li Jing, the God of War who was avoiding Gao Qi. Since he had traveled a long distance on horseback from the territory of Shuofang, he rushed all the way to this place non-stop, without resting for a moment.

"Jing is here now, as to whether you can stop XX from going south, it all depends on your ingenuity and perseverance!"

For a moment, Li Jing couldn't help but stare at the direction he came from, his eyes were burning like a torch, and he muttered to himself.

Time passed by, and a gust of wind and sand swept in again, but Li Jing was still sitting here, showing no intention of leaving.

After the sandstorm, on the other side of the road, a young man in a black shirt, sitting on a white horse and holding a spear, came slowly!

Seeing the flames in front of him, he couldn't help but rein in his horse. At this time, both the young man and the horse were a little tired, as if they had traveled through mountains and rivers.

Today, this young man can't help but stop here, because he has found his goal.

After a long time, Li Jing had already noticed that there was someone spying in the dark, and seeing that he refused to go forward, he couldn't help but speak first, and said in a deep voice: "Since you're here for me, Li Jing, don't show your face in hiding, come out Yixu!"

Hearing this, the young man who stopped at his feet knew that the other party had found him, so he stopped hiding, held his head high, and walked straight out of the night.

As the young man walked out slowly, the outline of his expression suddenly became clear. This is Gao Qi Gao Tianyu, the King of Qi Gao Qi who single-handedly created the foundation of the Qi Kingdom.

Not only was Li Jing running wildly day and night, but Gao Qi was also unwilling to leave Li Jing, and was also ahead of others, not daring to neglect for a moment, and came running wildly every day!

Since Gao Qi is riding a peerless horse, it can travel thousands of miles in a day, which is not a little bit better than Li Jing's horse.

Therefore, Gao Qi was able to gallop to catch up day and night, and caught up with Li Jing here.

…………

Immediately afterwards, Li Jing and Gao Qi finally sat cross-legged by the fire, looked at each other, and remained silent for a long time!
At this moment, Gao Qi met Li Jing, the God of War, for the first time since he came to this troubled world.

Originally, when Gao Qi was a general of hussars and prefect of Yanmen, he knew that Li Jing was a magistrate in Mayi, so Gao Qi was going to visit him.

However, it may be that Gao Qi was unlucky, and he was a step late. Li Jing had already set off for Jiangdu, and confessed to Yang that Li Yuan had turned his back on him.

Therefore, until today, Gao Qi really saw the true face of the legendary military god.

After staring at each other for a long time, Li Jing was the first to speak, and asked slowly, "Jing has something unclear, so why don't you ask King Qi to clarify?"

"Please say!"

Hearing this, Gao Qi didn't show off, and spoke slowly.

"I don't know how Jing He De can be favored by the King of Qi, so that he will chase after thousands of miles regardless of his own safety?"

"Besides, Jing can gallop away from four directions: east, south, northwest, why does King Qi always believe that Jing will be in the south?"

It's just that Li Jing pondered for a while, and finally asked the question that had been settled in his heart for a long time, and then fixed his eyes on Gao Qi, hoping that he could give him a satisfactory answer.

After all, according to Li Jing's approach, as long as Gao Qi makes a wrong judgment and pursues in the wrong direction, all previous efforts will be wasted and Li Jing's allegiance will be completely lost.

But Gao Qi didn't hesitate at all, and didn't regret it, he insisted on chasing to the south, and didn't give up!
At this moment, while Li Jing was puzzled, he couldn't help but admire the young king who was nearly twenty years younger than himself.

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help being stunned here, thinking about how to answer Li Jing's question.

After all, this must be one of Li Jing's tests. When Gao Qi explains to him, he must show a perfect side in order to attract Li Jing.

After a long time, Gao Qi was confident, and said without haste: "Because of Gu's self-confidence, I am confident that you, Li Jing, will definitely leave to the south."

"With all your talents, Li Jing, how can you hope that your whole body will be so ruined, so that you will be unknown?"

"So, as long as you think of this point, everything will be solved. Since you also have ambitions, you hope to show your talents and learn, so that you can live up to your own expectations."

"But now, the most powerful people in this world are none other than Gu and Li Tanger!"

"However, if you don't want to surrender to Gu, you won't choose to surrender to Li Tang, because you tried to impeach Li Yuan once, and although you didn't succeed, Li Yuan also hated you to the bone!"

"This can be seen from the fact that Li Tang pacified Guanlong and that Li Yuan secretly sent people to hunt you down; secondly, Wei Wensheng and Lu Zhi are both friends of your uncle Han Qinhu, but they were in Li Tang died in the war."

"Based on this, Li Tang must not be the force that you and Li Jing are loyal to. Since Li Tang and Gu are excluded, it is impossible for Li Gui, Ma Teng and other forces in Qinzhou!"

"But now, the only way to the south is your real choice, Li Jing, where you can show off your talents, because whether it's Li Mi in Wagang, Cao Cao in Runan, or even Zhu Yuanzhang in Huainan, they are all heroes, able to contend against loneliness enemy."

"It is also a stage where you, Li Jing, can show and display your talents, so going south has become your inevitable choice."

Immediately, Gao Qi spoke slowly, and in an instant, he gave out all the reasons and consequences with reason and evidence!
It was said that although Li Jing seemed to be extremely calm at this time, his heart had already set off a huge wave, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

No one else, because Gao Qi's words really touched Li Jing's heart, almost exactly the same as his thoughts!
In fact, when Li Jing was seized by Ding Yanping, he had completely given up on the Sui Dynasty. After all, how could a general who acted arbitrarily based on his own qualifications alone defend the imperial power?

Moreover, Li Jing had also heard a little about what Sui Emperor Yang Xie did in Jiangdu back then. How could such a greedy, treacherous and cunning emperor work for a great talent like Li Jing?
As for the later invasion by Li Tang, who led the army to Hu Ningcheng, Li Jing had already seen through it at this time. It was Gao Qi's secret agreement with Li Tang, and he was going to cooperate with the outside world.

However, due to Li Jingcai's seizure of power, he stayed behind closed doors and did not remind Ding Yanping to be careful.

Therefore, Ding Yanping personally led the army to fight against the Tang army, but he fell into Li Mu's and Princess Pingyang's schemes and suffered heavy losses. He had to flee in a hurry and was double attacked by Qi and Tang.

In fact, Li Jing also admired Gao Qi very much. After all, at a young age, he was able to rely on his own strength to recruit so many civil and military men under his command, pacify Jingzhou and Bashu, and occupy half of the south of the Yangtze River.

With such a great reputation, wouldn't it be possible for Li Jing to focus on it?

When the Turks were still confronting Shuofang, Li Jing asked his wife Hong Funv to meet Gao Qi alone, and passed on the news that his Qing army would raid Jiuyuan, destroy Liang, and slaughter the butcher Dong Zhuo.

This move may not have been due to Li Jing showing his favor to Gao Qi, but in the end Gao Qi conspired with Li Tang to conspire with Ding Yanping in order to subdue him.

Although Li Jing was very moved, no matter whether it was the obsession or the pride in his heart, he was not allowed to directly join Gao Qi and work for him!

In the final analysis, Li Jing still maintained the last ounce of respect for the Sui Dynasty, and did not want to bear the reputation of betraying the master.

Moreover, a talented person like Li Jing would not easily choose to seek refuge with others.

Therefore, this time Li Jing left on horseback before the Qi army broke through the city. The main reason was to test Gao Qi's perseverance and whether his intelligence was suitable for him to assist.

This time, chasing Li Jing under the moon seems easy, but in fact it is a test of one's mind and perseverance.

It should be noted that Li Jing set up a difficult problem from the very beginning, that is, Li Jing may rush to the east, west, north and south. It is conceivable that if Gao Qi made a wrong judgment, wouldn't it mean that he missed a good opportunity and really lost Li Jing?

Secondly, the distance from Shuofang to Jingxing is almost thousands of miles apart. If Gao Qi chooses to give up halfway, can he catch up with Li Jing and let him work for him?

It can be seen that this is extremely important for a person's endurance and his ability to judge!
Similarly, as a monarch, it doesn't matter much if he is inferior in ability, after all, it can be made up for by the art of manipulating people.

But perseverance and its ability to judge are extremely important to the monarch. It should be noted that in a troubled world, there are many heroes and there are many anti-kings. Almost everyone wants to seize the world.

At this time, one can imagine the difficulty of becoming an emperor by eradicating the princes of the world. If a monarch does not have the perseverance to persist until the end, then he will be annexed by others in the end. There is no dispute about this.

Speaking of judgment, this is also one of the skills that a monarch must have. Just imagine, as the strength of the ruler increases, the civil and martial arts under his command will gradually increase.

Since there are many people, there will be a variety of opinions. After all, everyone holds their own opinions.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that these opinions are extremely correct, but the country only needs a few as national policies. At this time, how should the monarch select the best few from the many decisions?
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to have the ability to judge independently, at least to be able to distinguish right from wrong, not to be deceived by treacherous officials, and to be good at accepting words and formulating a correct route.

After some conversations, Gao Qi stood firm, showing unparalleled aura, and said vigorously: "Li Jing, it's up to now, let's take care of you!"

"With your ability, under the rule of the lonely Daqi, you will definitely be able to become the commander of an army and guard the side!"

At this time, Gao Qi has already thrown an olive branch to Li Jing, carefully observing Li Jing's performance, how is it?

Not only that, Gao Qi also tightly held the sharp sword hanging from his waist with his left hand, and looked at Li Jing.

At this moment, it was Li Jing's last chance to think about it. It is conceivable that once Li Jing refused to surrender, Gao Qi would definitely kill him here.

After all, Li Jing's ability to lead the army is really against the sky. If he let the tiger go back to the mountain and let it go to others, it will definitely boost his strength, and it will be a disaster for the country and himself.

If the talents of the world are not used by me, they will be killed by me!
Gao Qi is no longer the soft-hearted person he was back then, as long as someone threatens him, he will definitely kill him without hesitation, leaving no disaster behind.

Therefore, this sentence Zhu Yuanzhang said became a famous sentence deep in Gao Qi's heart.

It is conceivable that if Li Jing refuses to surrender, Gao Qi will never be merciful and let him rely on others to fight against him, even if he is talented!
However, who is Li Jing, how can he not see Gao Qi's plan?
Immediately, Li Jing showed no signs of fear, instead he was more than calm, and said slowly: "King Qi, I wonder if we can talk about the last question?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi didn't try to force him, he said affirmatively, "Of course!"

…………

Immediately, the two led their horses to the next pavilion, and saw the number engraved on the plaque of this pavilion, Lu Linting.

In the Lulin Pavilion, the two sat opposite each other and started talking slowly. Just after the time of his birth, the crescent moon in the sky could not help but be fully revealed, and the moonlight could not help being brighter. When it was reflected in the pavilion, the two of them could not help but have a special flavor !
In this way, Gao Qi and Li Jing gradually began to chat under the moonlit night.

It’s just that Li Jing first asked: “King Qi, now that you have annexed Bashu and Jingzhou, almost occupying half of the south of the Yangtze River, what is your next plan?”

Hearing this, after a short thought, Gao Qi knew that he was clarifying the national policy he had formulated and how it should be developed.

After a long time, Gao Qi said slowly: "The land of Bashu, due to its unique geographical advantages, there are many mountains and steep roads in the territory, which can be said to be extremely difficult to attack. In addition, the Yangtze River flows through the territory and extends several large rivers."

"Therefore, Bashu not only has fertile land, but also produces as much food as a cow's hair every year. In addition, its fishery is also very developed. Therefore, with time and development, it will surely become a logistics base for supplying Gu Daqi."

"This is an advantage in supply, and it also has its unique advantages in military affairs. Since the tributaries in the territory flow through the Yangtze River, its shipbuilding industry is also relatively developed."

"Therefore, at this time, we can massively train the navy in Bashu, build warships, and train a navy."

"It should be noted that because Daqi is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the land of the south of the Yangtze River is full of rushing rivers and numerous rivers. In the future war to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, the navy must bear the brunt."

"Moreover, the lands of Bashu and Jingzhou are the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and there is a tendency to subduct the land to the east of the Yangtze River. They go straight down the river and go straight to Jinling."

"Afterwards, after all the south of the Yangtze River is under the control, our Great Qi can not only use the army of the whole country to attack the Central Plains in three ways, but also focus on Nanyang and Bashu to destroy the forces of Li and Tang who are entrenched in Guanlong."

For a while, following Gao Qi's analysis, he revealed the strategic plan that Qi State will formulate in the future.

This strategic plan was finally finalized by Gao Qi after hard thinking and meditation with Liu Bowen and his ministers.

After hearing this, Li Jing's eyes flashed approval, but he also had a little bit of his own thoughts.

Therefore, Li Jing said slowly: "King Qi, his strategy is certainly good, but in fact it is too theoretical."

"It should be noted that Jiangdong is now in chaos. Zhu Yuanzhang, Sun Ce, and the Taiping Army are here. It will never be so easy to calm down Jiangnan in a short time."

"Therefore, the current strategic plan at this time should be to repair civil affairs internally, form alliances externally, train a strong army, hoard military rations, destroy Bashu and southern barbarians, stabilize the rear, wait for the situation in the world to change, and then take the opportunity to send troops."

"Send the general out of Qinchuan along the way to contain Li Tang, and the king of Qi can personally command the main force to march southward, flatten the forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and occupy the whole of the south of the Yangtze River. Afterwards, he will force his troops to attack the Central Plains in the north and conquer the world!"

"So why worry about the hegemony, why worry about the world's prosperity?"

All of a sudden, following Li Jing's suggestion, Gao Qi realized that the strategic plan he formulated was not practical.

…………

Lu Linting's night talk officially laid out Gao Qi's strategic plan to sweep the world down.
