Chapter 487 Preparation

Liu Wenjing was sentenced for rebellion, and Chang'an became a mess. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Shimin broke Xue Rengao in Fufeng, beheaded Xue Rengao, and seized all his land, and the northwest Xue clan, which flourished because of trade in the Western Regions during the Great Cause, was wiped out in Qinzhou in the autumn of this day.

I didn't hear any of these two pieces of news from the mouth of the Tang envoy, but I heard it from the mouth of a monk.

Arguably, these are two crucial pieces of news.

There was a dispute within Li Tang, and a general like Liu Wenjing was killed, even if he knew something from Li Xiuning's mouth, it still surprised Li Po.

The shadow of the Xuanwu Gate change suddenly became clear in his mind.

And the second Li Po expected that Li Shimin was the emperor who swept the world after all, and when Li Tang needed victory to inspire people the most, he got a key victory.

However, Li Po turned around and thought about it, although this opportunity was a blessing for Li Tang, but Liu Wenjing was killed, mixed with those in Chang'an City, and the effect of this victory was greatly reduced.

Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, forcibly broke into the palace of the Qin prince to take people, this kind of radical struggle occurred between brothers, and the more Li Shimin was aura, the more the struggle for the throne could not be alleviated.

Li Po, who is already quite familiar with governance, imagined it for a while, and asked, "Can Li Shimin return to Chang'an immediately after breaking Xue Rengao?" ”

Of course, the answer he got was no, Li Po thought with a little regret, they are all smart people, if Li Shimin immediately led the army back to the east, Li Jiancheng of Tongguan would not be able to stay, maybe the change in Xuanwumen would be advanced.

The monk is like a treasure of things in Chang'an City, but he really doesn't have a bright head, maybe the coaxing of Shinto and Shinto is happy, when it comes to these chaotic things, he is like a notepad, remembering everything, but he doesn't have his own analytical ability.

Even if he said a few insightful words, it was from Dugu Huaien's point of view, obviously from the mouth of Dugu Huaien or his staff.

As a messenger and lobbyist, he was too much of a failure, because he never thought of looking at things from Li Po's point of view.

He was just trying to tell Li Po that the time was right, and it was time to serve the Ming Lord and seek wealth, but he didn't realize that he had leaked too much to Li Po.

In fact, this is the best gift Li Po has ever received......

Because there is no doubt that after Li Po raised troops and went south, Li Tang would be his main and most powerful enemy, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others would be ranked behind.

Therefore, being able to get the internal news of Li Tang in a timely and accurate manner is a very important thing for Li Po.

In this way, he will be able to formulate a clear strategy for the future.

As for Dugu Huaien, in Li Po's opinion, he is just a person caught in the middle, but he is still delusional, and the end will definitely not be too wonderful.

What is the son-in-law of the Dugu family, what was once raised in the deep palace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, what Turkic Khan is his cousin, Dugu Huaien, who has no military power and no jurisdiction, can only be a chess piece.

In today's world where tigers and wolves are rampant, if you want to be like Liu Xuande, just rely on a family background and a mouth full of nonsense, go everywhere to empty gloves and white wolves, and do your spring and autumn dreams.

Li Po put his mind to it and talked with this monk for more than two hours.

If the god stick can't fool people, then it can only be fooled, and Li Shentong's younger brother Li Shenfu is likely to be the head of the march of Shaanzhou Road and march to Hedong, and the news of marching into Hedong has no surprise also reached Li Po's ears.

Of the more than 20,000 Tang troops stationed in Longmen and Yongxing Dacang, more than 5,000 were the emperor's guards, from the Hussar Mansion and the Xiaowei Mansion, which showed that the Tang army's strength was not enough to counterattack Jindi.

So how did the Tang army march into Hedong? Relying on Wang Xingben and Lu Chongmao and the like?

At this time, Li Po even regretted it a little, he should have sent troops to capture Pusaka, two big ferries in hand, and took advantage of the fact that Li Tang's defenders were relatively empty, and they would take Yongxing Dacang, so they didn't have to worry about any food this year.

Of course, he didn't think that he was wrong at the beginning, under the instability of the rear, forcibly crossing the Yellow River can only be regarded as a dangerous move, just like the attack on Youzhou Luo Yi back then, if you can't win in one battle, future troubles will follow.

Regret is never useful, even if the original decision was completely wrong, Li Po can accept it calmly, because since the battle of the grassland in the north last year, he knows very well that the time of danger has completely passed.

How far we can go depends on how deep we go down step by step, not to win brilliant victories, and the purpose of war is never in the war itself.

If you can deeply reflect on such a truth, then everything he does will have a basis.

Just like now, the emotion of regret is fleeting, and then he thinks of Li Shenfu and other characters who are embarrassed, maybe Li Shimin will appear on the bank of the Yellow River next year.

It's a speculation, but it's likely to come true.

Because the pressure on Li Tang's east is obviously increasing, whether it is Wang Shichong or he Li Po, they have formed a threat to the hinterland of Guanxi, and after defeating Xue Rengao, the center of gravity of the Li clan will inevitably move eastward.

Then, headed by Li Shimin, one shining name after another is likely to appear in his Li Po's ears later.

Those Li Tang's dragon heroes...... Li Po touched his chin and laughed, and said in his heart, how many of them can still live to see the unification of the world?

Subsequently, Li Po was satisfied with the letter of repair, and asked the monk to bring it to Dugu Huaien, and asked his henchmen to arrange the monk's itinerary.

This episode made Li Po's mind change, he couldn't stay like this anymore and wait for the winter to pass, maybe there would be another war next year, what would Li Shimin's Northwest Tang Army look like?

At this time, Li Po wanted to go back to Jinyang for a few days, in addition to his wife's imminent delivery, he also needed him to go back and show his face, deal with the political affairs of the two states.

And this is exactly what he planned before, resting in the winter and waiting for the next year's army.

But now he has changed his mind, and immediately ordered Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng to lead 5,000 troops each to join the party, and be sure to calm down the chaos in the party this winter.

Subsequently, he sent people to send orders to the Yuwen Wok troops stationed in Jiexiu, Pingyao and other places, in addition to telling them not to neglect military affairs this winter, to train diligently, and to wait for the next year's use of troops, but also told Zhang Yunzhi, the Taishou of Xihe County, to let him complete the government soldiers as soon as possible.

If the army is tight in the coming year, then it is necessary to recruit soldiers from all over the country to participate in the war, of course, that is the worst case, indicating that the army is likely to have suffered defeat and is no longer enough to cope with the current war.

I have to say that the name Li Shimin still has a certain amount of pressure for Li Po, and there is no need to count the many halos on this name.

It is already very telling that a prince can lead his troops to win many battles and defeat a strong enemy like Xue Rengao in the northwest.

Of course, if Li Shimin was carried away by the victory and dared to wave his troops to the east to Jindi at this time, Li Po would not be afraid, he did not believe that the elite soldiers under his command would lose to the strong army in the northwest.

Today's parallel army has been formed, and such a regular military force will definitely not be comparable to those chaotic rebel armies at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

This is a military group he built with the Sui Army and the border army as the team, and it has also undergone many tests, and in terms of combat achievements and combat power, almost no one in the world can compare.

After defeating more than 200,000 Tang troops, Li Po has such self-confidence that he can fight against anyone on the battlefield and win, go to Chang'an or Luoyang, the eastern capital, or have no strength, but who wants to fight him hand-to-hand in Jindi...... Hehe, Li Shentong Yin Jian is not far away, have you really thought about it?

Then Li Po repaired the book Jinyang, and ordered Chen Xiaoyi, Su Yan, Yu Wenxin, Wang Lu and others to raise grain and straw, and transfer it to Xihe County in the spring of the next year.

Orders were issued one after another from Li Po, in fact, they were preparing for another big battle.

Speaking of which, Li Po is not sure if there will be a war in the coming year, and Li Tang has not moved, so it is a bit inappropriate to be like facing a great enemy.

But for the war, Li Po will never think of a way when things come to an end, no matter whether there is a war next year, he has to prepare carefully, because Xue Rengao was defeated, and Li Tang has such room to maneuver.

And these military orders are also very intriguing to everyone, he didn't explain too much this time, and everyone took it for granted that he was going to use troops in Kansai or Henan.

Many people were thinking about what they were saying, and they didn't think about it at all, this was a harbinger of Li Po's preparation for defense.

In fact, Li Po's plan is also very fine, even if Li Shimin does not come next year, Shangdang, Changping and Linhe counties, he will have to work hard to sort out, because he wants to ensure next year's spring ploughing.

The bandits must be completely exterminated, and the officials of several counties must be cleansed, and if there is no war next year, he will focus on the interior, make full use of this respite time, and bring the entire Jin land into his control.

So, no matter what, if you are well prepared, you will use it next year......

After that, as expected, Li Po wrote a letter to his wife, he couldn't go back in winter, but he couldn't be with his wife when the first child was born, which made him feel very guilty and a little angry, as for who the anger from this will eventually vent on, only God knows.

The first snowstorm of winter finally came, and the north wind whistled through the snowflakes, and the world was depressed.

Tang envoy seems to have arrived at home, staying in Jiangxian is very honest, Li Xiuning often comes to Li Po to talk, talking about family and country affairs is gradually decreasing, and Li Po is trying to bow horses, relatively drinking time is more, and occasionally the rise of drinking can also play two songs, so that Li Po can open his eyes.

Wei Jie hid in the house and wrote, but his handsomeness was already famous in Jiangxian.

The number of people who come and go with Dou Dan is becoming scarcer and rarer, and after arguing with Li Xiuning once, he has also become honest.
