Seeing that Baoqin's brows were furrowed, Liu Mu said again:

"Then what if I tell you that Jinju is the second largest coal mining area in the world?"

"Digging Jinju." Baoqin didn't hesitate this time, because the place under their feet was Shuofang County, and it was a chaotic place that still needed to be rectified, but Jinzhou had slowly become a very reliable and controlled area since Qin Qiong was there in Tuntian.

Baoqin is not willing to put his silver on the side of the road in a dangerous and troublesome place.

"Fight first, if we don't win this battle, or if we win a small victory, we will be defeated. Do you understand this? "Liu Mu no longer mentions the coal mine.

Baoqin said that he understood: "If we don't win a big victory, we will lose money, and we will lose a lot of money." If we win a big victory, the goods in Lingnan will become money, and even if we can't see the money here, the household department will have to supply us, or repay us for these goods in the form of tax reductions and exemptions. ”

"So, what's going on right now?"

"More than 500 hidden guards have been scattered, and they have been trained for more than a year and it is time to exert their strength. I believe that at this time, Jieli, the old immortal thing, has already received first-hand news from us. ”

Baoqin is full of confidence, she knows the power of the hidden guard now.

The fact is.

The clever guard did not release any news, but took the necessary action.

Turkic Tent.

"Khan, the two large caravans of the Southern Barbarians suddenly turned around and began to speed up their journey to the southeast."

Jieli Khan didn't take this news seriously at all, but Princess Yicheng asked: "But what other news, why did the Tang people's caravan leave suddenly." ”

They were still more than 200 miles away from the tent, but suddenly they turned around and walked back. The cause is unknown. ”

Princess Yicheng was about to ask again, but Jieli Khan said: "It must be what the Southern Barbarians have done again, send someone to investigate, and the Southern Barbarians will transfer troops there." ”

At the same time, several ten-man squads were assembling on the steppe.

Each team carried a blood-dripping parchment bag, which was assembled into a team of two hundred men.

"You guys have a good record, according to the calculation, you should have let go of some messengers yesterday, and each family reported the number."

Someone stepped forward: "Team leader, we killed here." After the reporter threw the sheepskin bags on the ground, and many ears slipped out of the bags, the captain continued to report: "Last night, two of them were deliberately let go, one of them was pierced by an arrow in the shoulder, and the other was cut off with a hand, and two arrows were hit in the leg. ”

"Good, next team."

The teams reported in turn that these days since Liumu arrived in Shuofang County, they were responsible for hunting down anyone on the grassland who might be Shuofang West County or Zhongshou City to report the news.

According to the instructions of the mission, it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go.

It wasn't until last night, after getting the signal from Li Jing, that they began to deliberately let a few people go.

That night, Jieli began to get some news one after another.

The first piece of news is that Liu Mu is here again, this time Liu Mu soldiers are bloodless, and only after planting their own flag outside the city, they took all of Shuofang West County.

Liang Shidu and his cronies died and none of the men in the family were alive, and it was Li Zhengbao, the general under Liang Shidu, who attacked.

"It's not good, it's in danger of being surrendered." Princess Yicheng immediately couldn't sit still.

Jieli sat there steadily, and said calmly in the face of Princess Yicheng's nervousness: "This willow wood is a good means, it intercepted and killed thousands of people on the road, and only a few people escaped back, so I would rather kill the wrong person than let the news come." It seems that Liang Shidu has been dead for more than ten days, and he is afraid that he has fallen into his hands. ”

"Khan, if you can't beat it, can't the defenders send someone to deliver the letter?"

"Since he can send people to intercept and kill him halfway, he can let the people who have surrendered to the city come back alive. No way. ”

Jieli Khan believed that Shuofang County and Zhongshou City must have been won by Liu Mu at the moment, and it was useless to be anxious about this matter at the moment, Jieli Khan immediately ordered: "Go and ask all tribes to send elites over to prepare for war." ”

"Order."

Jieli hadn't figured out how to send troops yet, and now he had to gather his troops first.

The calm of the king of the steppe, the great Jieli Khan, did not last even twelve hours before turning into rage. When several small tribes fled, he received terrible news.

His nephew, Ashina Bobi, wanted to give one-third of the grassland under the control of the great king of the steppe to the Tang people in exchange for a knighthood from the young new emperor of the Tang people.

"Willow! You hateful little Nanban. Jieli roared.

"Khan, news from Hou Sui, the Tang people are gathering forces to prepare to attack Hou Sui." Another piece of bad news reached the ears of Jieli Khan.

Princess Yicheng rushed over: "Great Khan, you have to send troops to rescue Hou Sui, otherwise you will ......"

Before Princess Yicheng finished speaking, she was pushed to the ground by Jieli Khan: "This is a conspiracy, this is a terrible conspiracy." The Khan's fists were clenched, his nails were sinking into the flesh, and blood was falling to the ground in drops.

After walking back and forth in the tent a few times, Jieli Khan stopped.

"Nanban has a plan called Siege Wei to save Zhao. I believe that the Bo Bi dare to rebel must have been fully prepared, and the strength of the Hou Sui side is not strong, only the surrender of Liang Shidu is enough to make the Hou Sui unable to resist, and the Tang people are still gathering troops, so whether Ben Khan attacks the Bo Bi or rescues the Hou Sui, he will fall into the trap. ”

Jieli slowly calmed down, urging his subordinates to gather people and horses, while thinking about how to deal with it.

At this time, Shuofang County.

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was intercepted by Li Jing on the way to Bulong Lake.

"Emperor Taishang, you can't go to Bulong Lake."

"Why?" Li Yuan asked puzzled.

Li Jing signaled to retreat left and right: "Emperor Taishang, I believe that Liu Juma will find out in a few days at most that it is not the little Khan of Turki who is really facing the first wave of attacks from Turkic Jieli, but him." ”

Li Yuan became interested: "Why?" ”

"Emperor Taishang, Jieli is not a straw bag." Li Jing's confident smile made Li Yuan very satisfied, and the self-confidence of the commander of the Northern Expedition represented the battle that the Tang Dynasty would win.

After reflecting on all of Li Jing's plans, Li Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, Jieli is not a straw bag. Only a straw bale would drill into such an obvious trap. ”

"Emperor Taishang, it doesn't matter if it's a straw bag or not, this is a series of three kills. No matter where Jieli attacks, the minister has already made proper arrangements, no matter which place to attack, after the vanguard fights, Jieli will find himself being about to be combined by the other two sides, but the minister still thinks that Jieli will choose the most suitable place to attack. ”
