Early in the morning, as soon as it was light, Xia Hongsheng had already appeared outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, tightened the collar of his clothes, and the people of the left prison guard opened the Suzaku Gate and let Xia Hongsheng in.

Since becoming Li Laoer's health consultant, Xia Hongsheng has said goodbye to laziness. Every morning, I got outside the Taiji Hall and waited for Li Lao Er to come out, and then accompanied Li Lao Er to walk briskly. Thanks to this, Xia Hongsheng finally got familiar with the road in the Imperial Garden.

"Hehe, for this period of time, I have been exercising every day according to Xia Qing's method, and I really feel that my body is a lot more active, and I have rested a lot at night, and it seems that it does have some effect." Li Shimin spoke slightly panting, and said to Xia Hongsheng while walking briskly.

Xia Hongsheng nodded with a smile and replied, "Your Majesty, this method is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in persevering." Regardless of rain or shine, it is the hardest thing to do every day, day after day, year after year. But once it is really done, the benefits are also considerable. Your Majesty, I don't know if you have noticed, but most of the farmers who work in the fields all day long are in good health, and they will not get sick for many years, but they are people who are clothed and fed all day long, and they may be sick all day long. ”

"This ...... But it does. Li Shimin nodded: "I saw Doctor Sun once before, and Doctor Sun said the same, those big fish and big meat are not as good for the body as mountain and wild vegetables, and I guess it is the same thing that Xia Qing said." ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know when I'll be able to find Doctor Sun?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Doctor Sun doesn't want to go out, he is dedicated to the people and travels around. I have repeatedly invited him to join the office, and Doctor Sun has also declined again and again. Some time ago, I heard that Doctor Sun appeared in the Qinling Mountains, and I have already sent people to look for and investigate. ”

The sun gradually rose, Li Shimin finally finished exercising, and when he took the towel sent by Gong'e to wipe his sweat, Xia Hongsheng bowed and bowed and retired.

Out of the palace, Xia Hongsheng went straight to the barracks. The 800 soldiers have entered the final review, and in a few days, they will have to take the exam. There will be 300 people coming out of the crowd and entering the new venue. began to let Xia Hongsheng carry out officer education and become the first batch of experimental students in the military academy, and in the future, he may have the opportunity to become the first batch of instructors in the military academy.

Therefore, the revision time before this is particularly important, and those soldiers need to race against the clock. Xia Hongsheng and those scholars were not willing to live up to the momentum of these 800 people.

In the course of two months, Xia Hongsheng only taught these soldiers to read, write, and read books, but did not expose them to too many scriptures and classics. Just like learning to drive and get a driver's license in later generations, people who have never touched a vehicle are often more likely to pass than those who can drive in the first place, just because they don't have the original experience to interfere with what they have learned. These people are like a blank piece of paper, there are no traces of those traditional scriptures on it, there are not too many pen prints left by Confucianism, Xia Hongsheng is ready to write what he wants to write directly on the blank paper.

From this point of view. These soldiers, who have just learned to read and write, learn Xia Hongsheng's new things, but the effect is much better than that of the scholars who were already full of ink.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the barracks, he saw that in addition to the guards, there was another person standing at the gate of the barracks, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng arrived, he immediately hurried forward to greet him.

Xia Hongsheng understood that he had something to tell, so Le Ma stopped.

"General Qiyu, Shuo Fang reported to the report, General Duan ordered the small one to wait for the general here, and when the general comes, please ask the general to go to the tent!" The man came to the horse. Said with a fist clench.

As soon as Xia Hongsheng entered the barracks, he would go straight to the place where those soldiers were studying, so Duan Zan sent someone to intercept him here.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and with a clamp between his legs, he rode towards the military tent and arrived in front of the military tent. After Le Ma stopped, he turned over, and a soldier next to him immediately came over and took the horse away, and Xia Hongsheng went straight into the military tent.

Duan Zan was holding a silk strip in his hand and a piece of paper in his other hand, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng entering, he immediately stood up. said: "The first batch of people sent a month ago have arrived in Shuofang, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and the special combat team members have already connected with Governor Xia Shi Liu Min, Sima Liu Lan and others, and the others have also successfully exited the customs, infiltrated around Shuofang, and are waiting for an opportunity to enter Shuofang City. There's also good news, see for yourself. ”

As he spoke, he handed the silk strip and paper in his hand to Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng took it, and on the silk strip was a group of numbers, and on the paper was the content that Duan Zhan had translated.

"Very good, Brother Duan, we have been preparing for so long, and we have accumulated enough, now, it is time to thin our hair!" Xia Hongsheng clenched his fists excitedly and said, "With Xiazhou's support, our people can act more conveniently!" ”

Xia Hongsheng said, and then lowered his head to look at the contents of the paper carefully.

At a glance, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but clap my hands: "Good thing!" God help me! ”

"Yes, the tengu fell into its city, this is a great omen, in this way, the people of Shuofang must be even more separated from the Liang master." Duan Zan said with a smile.

"It's not that simple!" Xia Hongsheng laughed and said: "This is an opportunity for us, and it is also a very good breakthrough for us. The tengu fell into its city, and the people thought it was a bad omen, so we can take advantage of this and make a big fuss! ”

"What are you going to do?" Duan Zan asked.

Xia Hongsheng pondered for a moment and said: "Chang'an is more than 1,000 miles away from Xiazhou, and it only takes one day for carrier pigeons to go back and forth. Time is of the essence, and this opportunity should not be missed. Brother Duan, you and I will go to meet Your Majesty! ”

Duan Zan nodded, and the two of them left the camp tent and immediately went back to the palace.

"Lord Xia, you just went out, why did you come back again?" When he arrived at the Suzaku Gate, the guard-in-law of the left prison saw Xia Hongsheng appear outside the palace again, so he asked.

Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Naturally, there is something that needs to be met with Your Majesty. ”

The two of them went all the way to the outside of the Taiji Palace, today is not the day of the first or fifth day, there is no need to go to court, Li Shimin should be in the study behind the Taiji Hall first. After the chamberlain reported, Li Shimin ordered the two to go in.

"What? What happened? As soon as Li Shimin finished eating, Wang De cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in front of Li Shimin and took them out, Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng and Duan Zan glanced at each other, and then handed over the note in their hands, Li Shimin took it and immediately called out hello.

"Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity for us, if we can grasp this opportunity, then we can make a decision!" Xia Hongsheng took the opportunity to say to Li Shimin at the right time: "Your Majesty, now that Shuofang Tiangu has fallen into the city, the people must be in a panic. Since ancient times, the people have thought that the fall of the tengu is a great omen, and our spy officers can take this opportunity to spread rumors and confuse the hearts of the people of Shuofang and Liang Shidu. However, this matter also needs His Majesty's cooperation. ”

Li Shimin smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"First, His Majesty issued an edict to persuade the Liang division to surrender and announce it to the world. Especially for the people of Shuofang, His Majesty can order Xiazhou to send soldiers and horses to post and announce the edict everywhere in Shuofang, so that no one in the local people knows His Majesty's will. Xia Hongsheng bowed down to Li Shimin and said: "Second, Your Majesty can order Xiazhou to divide the soldiers, on the one hand, take off the military uniform, wear night clothes to destroy its fields at night, destroy the fields around Shuofang City, and cut off the way of Shuofang grain. Third, if someone under Liang Shidu comes to surrender, please ask Your Majesty to allow him to be a high-ranking official, preferably the kind of height that ordinary people may not be able to reach after a lifetime of struggle, and this edict must also be clearly stated to the world, and the people know it. ”

After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked Xia Hongsheng again: "Oh? How could Xia Qing be sure that someone would come down? ”

"Because when His Majesty carried out the first two things, the spies sent by the ministers would post big-character posters in Shuofang City every day to persuade them to surrender, encouraging the people to open the city and surrender. According to the information available, the generals under Liang Shidu who had a target contacted him to rebel. Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "So Weichen still needs something, that is, His Majesty's hand, promising to exempt those who surrender from their guilt, reusing the hand, and attaching the holy oracle." The ministers immediately sent the second and third groups of follow-up people to bring these edicts to the generals under Liang Shidu. ”

"I can promise you all this." Li Shimin nodded and said, "However, just with these, can I calm down Shuofang?" ”

"The so-called psychological warfare not only pays attention to the psychological guidance of public opinion, but also exerts psychological pressure on the enemy!" Xia Hongsheng seemed to expect Li Shimin to ask this, so he smiled again: "What I did before was to guide, what Your Majesty needs to do is to exert some more pressure to press them to the path that the minister has guided." However, this step is not in a hurry, Your Majesty can temporarily release some rumors, just say that he is ready to send a large army to suppress the territory and exterminate Liang Shidu in one fell swoop. ”

"Good! Then I will follow what Xia Qing said. Li Shimin showed a faint smile on his face and said, "I want to see if Xia Qing can really let me pacify Shuofang City without using swords!" ”

Xia Hongsheng bowed and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, you will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." If Weichen expected it to be good, now Liang Shi is estimated to be having a headache, hahaha......" (To be continued.) )
