Chapter 54 The Empire's Dilemma [Second Update]

Li Congrong said curiously: "Isn't that the case?" ”

"Could it be that His Royal Highness thinks that His Majesty's various actions are all because he knows that King Qin's lone army is deep into the enemy's territory, the situation is unfavorable, and there are enemies on all sides, and if he cares, he will be chaotic, so he will not hesitate to provoke chaos in the north, and he must do his best to save the border army?" Bian Ho looked at Li Congrong with a strange look in his eyes - that look, well, was like looking at a pig. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Congrong coughed embarrassedly twice, and knew in his heart that it really shouldn't, even if Li Siyuan was worried about Li Congjing, shouldn't he be worried about Li Congjing as soon as he went to the north?

"Your Majesty watched the battle report of Kunzhou and was distracted, and he was angry because he was worried about the safety of King Qin, but he just did it for some people." Bian Ho shook his head, "The purpose of this is just to make them contempt for the war in the north, and they don't think that the war in the north can be successful." ”

Li Congrong didn't ask who this gesture was for, this question didn't need to be asked, of course, it was for the opponents of the empire.

Li Congjing said: "Lonely King...... Zeng also studied war with his brother, and knew a little about the conquest, this time the army in the north did have all kinds of obvious drawbacks, not to mention anything else, the hasty army, the grain and grass were unsustainable, the coordination of various departments was difficult to unify, and the defense of the states fell into an empty situation......"

"Are these really problems?" Bian Ho didn't wait for Li Congrong to finish speaking, and his rare lack of patience interrupted Li Congrong's words.

Li Congrong stopped talking.

"Has Your Highness forgotten who was in charge of the overall situation in the north this time, and who was the envoy of the Youzhou Festival in the north for several years in the early years, turning Lu Long into the sky?" Bian Hao asked, "At that time, that person fought one country with one place, and there was no chaos in the border area, and the border army was able to win big victories, what is it this time?" ”

Li Congrong thought for a moment, and said in shock: "What Mr. means is that this time the army in the north is not a temporary initiative of His Majesty at all, but he and his brother...... An idea for a long time? ”

"Could it be that Li Congjing is really not afraid of death, not to mention the trouble of going north alone to find the Khitan, and daring to go to the Khitan country with only one Lu Longjun to do mischief? Is His Majesty the Emperor really not sympathetic to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who has no layout and no backhand, and dares to let him risk his life to stir up trouble in front of Yelubei, Yelu Deguang, Shu Luping and the Khitan army of hundreds of thousands? "The side pickaxe is like a lake," Your Highness must know that it is natural to lose such a war, but if it is won, it will be a classic battle that will be passed down through the ages! ”

"This ......" Li Congrong could no longer speak.

Bian Hao's head hurt a little, no matter how clearly he said these things now, it was just an afterthought, and he didn't think of it at all before, so when he said these words at this time, not only did he not have a sense of accomplishment, but he was very frustrated.

Seeing that Li Congrong had nothing to say, Bian Hao was powerless again, "Didn't Your Highness find out that His Majesty mobilized the army in the north this time, but only did not mention the Datong army?" ”

Li Congrong closed his mouth.

At this point, Bian Ho simply had no reservations, "Your Highness still remembers that the king had just decided on the two rivers, the Xichuan turmoil, and then the dilemma faced by the empire?" ”

Li Congrong was shocked: "Mr. is saying that the Khitan Western Expedition, Yang Wu and Chu?" ”

Bian Hao stood up and straightened his robe, "Now, Datang has shown his countermeasures. He smiled indescribably, "The perfect solution." ”

......

At this moment, Bian Hao was a little self-blaming and sad, feeling that he had betrayed Xu Zhihe's trust, but these negative emotions were just fleeting, and he easily regained his strength, ready to face the next situation with twelve points of energy.

And the exploration of the Performing Arts Academy is undoubtedly the most important of this. Regarding how to break through the strong defense line of the Yanwu Academy, after a long time of planning, Bian Hao has made up his mind.

But what Bian Hao didn't know at this time was that a figure in a white robe like snow was already standing in front of the Luoyang City Gate with a folding fan painted with a river and mountain.

The gloomy sky had cleared up for some time, and a ray of sunlight sprinkled down from the clouds, just falling on the shoulders of the white-robed scholar, who saw the traffic in the city through the city gate, and his smile was warmer than the sun: "Luoyang, I'm back again." ”

Unfathomable and chic.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly distorted, and then he bent down with a groan, hugged his thighs and jumped and shouted, "Ouch, I'm cramping, come and help me...... Damn, I'm in a hurry......"

......

Although there are also vast mountains and undulating mountains on the grassland, most places are still flat and boundless, especially where there are rivers, and when the sun sets at the end of the river, you can see the beautiful scene of the golden river flowing out of the golden sun.

"From this direction, this river really looks like a bubble of urine sprinkled by the sun!"

"It's yellow urine, which shows that the fire in the sun is very serious these days!"

A dialogue destroys the aesthetic artistic conception to the fullest.

By the river, two young men laughed.

A large group of people and horses are diverting water, and there are more people on the grass next to them, and the left and right are added together, I am afraid that there are no less than three thousand, and such a large group of people, the herd of cattle and sheep driven is even larger, and there is no end in sight.

This should be a group of very wealthy herdsmen, the saddle horses are all good goods, and in the grassland, the herdsmen with such strong assets are definitely the tribesmen of a famous big chief. It's just that in today's tense situation on the grassland, such a light group of men and horses should be on the battlefield, but for some reason they are in this unhurried nomadism.

From the other direction, a group of people, horses, cattle and sheep came with a small crowd, and they did not dare to approach this group of people, so they chose to drink water in the lower reaches of the river. There are also many cases of robbing houses and houses on the grassland, and it is also common for large groups to annex small groups, of course, ordinary serious herdsmen will not do this, not for fear of provoking people who cannot afford to provoke, but because everyone is now generally peace-loving...... Well, the steppe is also orderly.

But the herdsmen with a population of 3,000 obviously didn't think so, and the two young men who had spoken to each other before looked at the herds downstream of the river with a scrutinizing gaze, and said with bad intentions: "See, this group of sheep is fat, and this is all in the mouth, so I have to take it to the pot!" ”

"Fat sheep indeed...... Are you saying that the shepherds are fat sheep or that the shepherds' sheep are fat? ”

"Does it make any difference? It's all the same! ”

"More than 200 people, not enough to practice."

"That's good! How many herds have we killed over the years? Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is no larger herd! In a word, this is the real fat sheep, if you don't do it now, when will you wait? ”

"Why do you call us like robbers, we're elite!"

"Well, now that is the case, don't dwell on such small details. Pretending to be a robber on the grassland, when all sides of the grassland are fighting and no one threatens us, in the name of robbery, we practice training, which is a long-standing tradition of our army, and we have done it in the Tongguang years! In the battle of Longmen Mountain, the soldiers suffered too many losses, although the newly replenished sergeants are all elites of various armies, but after all, the time they get along is short, and the way of battle formation coordination is not skilled, so it is necessary to train the troops with herdsmen......"

"Stop, stop, Li Yanlin, don't talk at length, I have a headache. You and I are here to respond to Your Highness, and the training is just incidental. I don't understand, now His Highness should have arrived in the West Tower, why don't we join the army? ”

"You don't understand this, we are cavalry, but we are also strange soldiers! What are Odd Soldiers for? What a surprise! Thousands of miles of running, saving the army from danger, breaking the army and turning the tide, that's what we are talking about! ”

Two people dressed as ordinary herdsmen were chatting happily, and a rider came next to him, pointing to the lower reaches of the river, "Li Yanlin, I'll leave it to you, end the battle before dark!" ”

"Order, General Lin!"

Li Yanlin mounted his horse and beckoned his troops, and the five hundred people quickly formed a formation, and then dispersed and swept away towards the herdsmen downstream of the river.

Only then did the soldiers in the gallop occasionally show the armor under their shirts.

The shepherds in the lower reaches of the river were horrified when they saw that the group of men whom they had feared were really attacking them, and they mounted their horses, but it was too late to escape, and they had to deal with it, and when they saw that the cattle and sheep could not be saved, they were so anxious that they would not flee easily. There is that brave man, but he meets the comer, intending to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, so that the other party will retreat.

But soon they realized that they were wrong, and before their bows and arrows could be fired, they were already hunched down behind the horses' necks, not giving them a chance at all. When they got a little closer, they didn't know what kind of bow and arrow they were in their hands, and they shot them without pulling them open, and the crosshairs were surprisingly unexpected, and before the herdsmen in front of them could react, they were shot off their horses.

Then they approached the crowd, got up and drew their knives, and slashed their bodies, their movements were extremely clean, and as the herdsmen fell one after another, they finally realized that they were not ordinary herdsmen in front of them, nor were they ordinary bandits!

However, at this time, it was too late to wake up, and there was no way to retreat, and the gentlemen swept around them, and soon besieged them.

Not long after, more than 100 herders died.

At this time, the sun has not yet set.

Li Yanlin inspected the battlefield and felt very satisfied, and finally came to the cattle and sheep, looking at the livestock full of calling in front of him, his eyes were full of money, "Okay, it's all ours, it's all ours!" ”

Before he finished inspecting the new results, Li Yanlin suddenly raised his head alertly, and not far away, several horses galloped over, and when the other party was close, Li Yanlin's expression was dazed.

It's the Qin King Guard.

There is blood on the armor!

"Where is General Lin?!" Come and drink.

Li Yanlin's part pointed in the direction, Li Yanlin did not hesitate and quickly followed.

Li Yanlin followed the guards to find Lin Ying - in the battle of Xuanwu City, Lin Xiong was seriously injured and has not recovered so far, but Lin Ying has recovered better, and Li Congjing in view of his performance on the battlefield, authorized him to temporarily serve as the commander of the Junzi Dudu. The guard showed his arrow, "The battle of the West Tower has started, the King of Qin has ordered, and the gentlemen have all rushed to the aid immediately!" ”

Lin Ying and Li Yanlin were both stunned, "The battle in the West Building?" The Khitan army is attacking the Lu Long army?! "What's going on? The two couldn't understand for a while, the military order they received before, or the defeat of the Raozhou army by Lu Long's army, was arriving in the West Building, why did the Khitan army start to attack Lu Long's army at this time?
