Gai Yu was a little unsettled, he was just about to get up and leave, but when he heard Li Jing ask him to stay for the discussion, Gai Yu sat back on the chair, feeling uneasy.

Li Jing poured Gai Yu a glass of wine, handed it to him, and then sat down. "Regarding Li Keyong's proposal over there, what everyone said just now is correct. If Li Keyong proposes other exchange conditions, maybe I will consider it, but Li Keyong intends to use Murong Xue as a bargaining chip to exchange Gai Tianguan back, and it is clear that he wants to take revenge on Jizhi, and this king will never agree. His hand clenched into a fist, "My woman wants to be saved, but she won't exchange my right hand." ”

Gai Yu was very moved in his heart, and the word left and right arm made him feel like a sweet spring in his heart.

"Maybe we can find a way to tie up the woman who Li Keyong used." Gongsun Lan proposed: "I heard that Li Keyong's wife Liu is very fond of him, if he can tie up Liu, then Li Keyong will obediently exchange hostages with us." ”

This proposal is indeed full of temptation, but Li Keyong has just been stabbed by Murong Xuexing, and he must be full of vigilance at the moment. It is not easy to send someone to Yanmen to tie Li Keyong's wife Liu back. What's more, Li Jing has also heard of the Liu family for a long time, and knows that this is an extraordinary woman. She is a heroine who commands 5,000 female soldiers.

Li Jing shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "The current situation is getting worse and worse, you still don't know what to do, this king has just received the news, the drastic changes in Guanzhong, a few days ago, Huangchao has broken through Tongguan, Qi Kerang, Zhang Chengfan, Wang Shihui and other generals surrendered to Qi, Cui Anqian, Du Xian, Zhang Zimian The three generals were defeated and disappeared. Huang Chao personally led an army of 300,000 and had already occupied Chang'an City bloodlessly three days ago. ”

The staff made Jing Xiang shocked. "Huang Chao has already captured Tongguan. Occupied Chang'an? How is this possible. What about the army in Guanzhong. What about the army in Chang'an? ”

A subtle hint of disgust swept across the corners of Qin King Li Jing's lips. "In addition to the Shence Army in Guanzhong, there were originally soldiers and horses from the eight towns, but in fact, as early as when the Son of Heaven and Tian Lingzi fled Chang'an, the towns had already begun to be chaotic. In the past few months, Cui Anqian has held on to Tongguan, but no one in Chang'an has given grain and grass. The defeat of Tongguan is not a crime of war. In fact, Cui Anqian's generals have run out of food. All towns have retreated to their own towns, support the troops to wait and see, Chang'an City can run all run, three days ago, the original Lu Long Army Jie Du envoy Zhang Zhifang led nearly 100 officials outside Chang'an City to welcome Huang Chao into Chang'an, Huang Chao now occupies two capitals, but arrogant. ”

"That's really bad news." Jing Xiang, the envoy of the General Staff, frowned, and a deep Sichuan character was squeezed between his eyebrows.

"At present, Huangchao has broken through Guanzhong and has occupied Tongguan, the east gate, and occupied Tongzhou, Huazhou, and Chang'an in Guannei. And seized Wuguan, the southwest gateway of Chang'an, Shangzhou and Dengzhou. In addition, Shaanzhou, Yuzhou, Luoyang, Ruzhou, Zhengzhou, Bianzhou, Haozhou, Yingzhou, and Xuzhou were originally occupied. The territory under its direct control is already two capitals and twelve states. Moreover, the three prefectures of Chen, Xu, and Cai in the original Zhongwu Town, plus the four prefectures of Hezhongfu, Jinzhou, Jiangzhou, Cizhou, and Xizhou in Hezhong Town, were also all descended to Huangchao Pseudo-Qi as early as possible. Huangchao's current strength has involved more than 20 prefectures in Henan, Guanzhong, Hedong and Shannan. Li Jing pursed his lips, "The Son of Heaven is lucky, the two capitals have fallen, it is conceivable that there will definitely be more feudal towns falling to Huangchao next." ”

"What is the reaction of the Son of Heaven?" Jing Xiang originally had a good impression of the young emperor, but now, he felt that he was just another Adou who couldn't be supported after all.

"When the Son of Heaven passed by Fengxiang Town before, the former Xiangguo, and now the Fengxiang Festival envoy Zheng Zheng asked the Son of Heaven to stay in Fengxiang, and gathered the soldiers and horses of all towns in the world to serve the king together and encircle and suppress Huangchao. It's a pity that the Son of Heaven still didn't stay, but he authorized Zheng Shuai with full authority to coordinate and command all the troops and horses in Guanzhong. Li Jing said.

"Even the Son of Heaven and Tian Lingzi and others have gone to Xichuan, Zheng Jin, a scholar, how can he control the towns of Guanzhong and deal with the grass thieves together?" Jing Xiang had no hope for Zheng Zheng at all. "Perhaps, the soldiers and horses of the towns in Guanzhong are already writing a table for Huangchao right now."

"Well, Zizhen is right, the news that this king received is that Zheng Jin, the festival marshal of Fengxiang Town, is sick and unable to be a director, and now Fengxiang Town has been led by Yuan Jingrou, the military envoy of Fengxiang Town, and the officers and soldiers of the town have received the edict of Huang Chao's reward and decided to return to the pseudo-Qi in the near future. The other five towns in Guanzhong, including the Suining Jiedu Envoy, the Baoda Jiedu Envoy, the Jingyuan Jiedu Envoy, the Xiasui Jiedu Envoy, and the Shuofang Jiedu Envoy, have also been waiting and watching, and the towns have been secretly contacting the Huangchao Envoy in private. ”

Huangchao broke through Tongguan and captured Chang'an, and the attitude of the towns in Guanzhong also surprised Li Jing and others. Originally, there were 150,000 god forbidden troops in the pass, and the other eight towns were not strong. Now that the Shence Army has run, the towns in Guanzhong, such as the Zhenguo Army and the Tianxiong Army, have already existed in name only, and the remaining towns, seeing that the Son of Heaven has run away, and the Yellow Nest is powerful, they have all begun to make small calculations. As a result, Huang Chao's entry into Guanzhong can be described as extremely smooth.

Now, in terms of territory, Li Jing should control the largest territory in the world, and today's Huangchao is still under Li Jing. But in terms of influence, the Huangchao that seized the two capitals and occupied the Central Plains Guanzhong is much more powerful than Li Jing.

Li Jing frowned and said: "Huang Chao occupied two capitals in a row and entered Guanzhong, and the momentum was not small. He clenched his fists in annoyance. Alain, bring me the map. ”

Gongsun Lan immediately complied.

Li Jing spread out the cowhide map, "Huang Chao's current strategic intentions are very obvious, he has entered the Guanzhong in one fell swoop at this time, it seems that in the last round of competition, he has a deep understanding of us." Now it is clear that it intends to defend the west bank of the canal in the east, with Luoyang as the center. Then go all out to manage Guanzhong and expand westward. It seems that it doesn't matter because we don't want to continue to fight with Huang Chao in the Central Plains, and Huang Chao is not in the mood to consume with us in the Central Plains now. It can be said that although Huang Chao seems to be our strongest enemy at the moment, from the actual analysis, in Henan, the two of us may be the most peaceful time in the future. ”

"On the other hand, Huainan Gaoyu in the south has also been newly defeated by us, and we have now captured the defense of Jiancheng, a major town on the front line of Huaisi, coupled with connecting Zhou Bao and supporting Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao, it can be said that the south will also be very calm for a while."

Jing Xiang stared at the map seriously and said solemnly: "Your Highness believes that in the future, our next stage of gravity will be in the north. The biggest opponent will be Li Keyong? ”

"What Zizhen said is exactly what I meant. Gao Yu is now completely at a disadvantage to us. Stuck in the quagmire, it was difficult to extricate himself for a while. Huang Chao ate a trench. But he immediately gained a wisdom, and he didn't plan to fight to the death with us in Henan, but aimed at Guanzhong. Now that Li Tang has completely collapsed, the next step will be the merger between the towns and the mutual attack, which is the melee stage. The south will enter a slightly stable environment, and our next focus will be on Hebei. The first step will be to seize Youzhou Town, but now that Li Keyong has taken in Liu Rengong, he obviously wants to intervene in the situation in Hebei as well. So it can be said. Our ostensible enemy will be Li Quanzhong, the Jiedu envoy of Lulong and Yiwu Erzhen, but our real opponent will be Li Keyong of Daibei. ”

Gai Yu looked at the map and frowned, and his forehead squeezed into deep furrows. "The strategy of defending the south and fighting the north, a certain also agrees. However, if we don't take Xuzhou, we don't worry about going north. In the north, the combined strength of Hebei Zhuzhen, Li Keyong and Khitan is not weaker than ours. And what worries me is that we are now so long on the north-south front, even if the south defends the north, the south still has to leave a large army to garrison. Otherwise, it may be taken advantage of by Gao Yu and Huang Chao at any time. ”

"I'm not worried about Xuzhou. Huangchao's center of gravity has now shifted to Guanzhong, and there are less than 200,000 troops in Henan, and there are not many elite soldiers. They lost Suzhou, Xuzhou has been surrounded by us on all sides, I believe that if Huo Cun is smart, he will not stay here, but look for an opportunity to break through. Now the most critical is the north, which is Hebei. Now that Liu Yue is dead, the situation in Hebei has changed greatly after a civil strife in Lulong Town. It turns out that cracks have already appeared in the alliance of the towns, so I will lead my troops to the north early tomorrow morning. On the southern side, Zhao Li was in charge of controlling the military soldiers and horses of Shou, Hao, and Chu in Huainan. Zeng Yuanyu was in charge of controlling the military troops and horses of the six states of Hai, Si, Su, Xu, Yan and Yi. Let Zhao Li prevent Gao Yu, and Zeng Yuanyu prevent Huang Chao. Send another army and horses to Zhao Li, let him command 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard Huainan, and send additional soldiers and horses to Zeng Yuanyu to guard Huaibei with 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Jing Xiang immediately took notes on Li Jing's order. Li Jing said again: "Tell Zeng Yuanyu and Zhao Li, let them not blindly defend passively." At the same time of defense, they sent troops to break the troops into zero, entered the enemy's prefectures and counties, carried out guerrilla warfare, attacked their defensive lines, attacked their logistics and transportation lines, plundered their supplies, and snatched back all the people, cattle and sheep that could be snatched up, and sent them back to the prefectures and counties of Huaisi. In short, don't give them a chance to breathe, and I hope to completely scorch the area in front of our defense line for 100 miles, create a no-man's land, continue to attack them, and strengthen the security of our defense line. ”

It's a ruthless order, but war is always so cruel that to weaken the enemy is to strengthen yourself.

"Understood, please wait and see." Jing Xiang said and got up, "I'll go and make an order." He bowed and walked away.

Li Jing glanced at Gongsun Lan, "Alain, you also send an order to the Supervision Department, so that the Supervision Department can operate at full capacity." Inform them and let them dispatch to launch a special operation behind enemy lines in the Hedong region of Hebei Province, attacking, harassing, sabotaging, assassinating, in short, killing people and setting fires, and do as much damage as they can to me. ”

"The Military Intelligence Bureau has a special brigade of 5,000 people, and this newly expanded unit has just completed the first phase of training and is ready to go into the task immediately. Your Highness, do you want to pick an elite team to sneak into Hedong and rescue Murong Xue? Gongsun Lan asked.

Li Jing pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then you draw up a detailed mission plan, send an elite team to infiltrate Hedong, and rescue her if you have the opportunity." If there is still a chance, I will also give Li Ke some color to see, and if I can tie Li Keyong's wife back, I will promote them to the collective first-class merit and award them the title. ”

"It will live up to expectations."

"Organize another special combat team, send them to Chang'an, find a way to bring back the Song Mansion Yimu family, and also find a way to bring back the Yu family and the Cui family's people in Beijing. Send some more people to find the three generals Cui Anqian, Du Xian, and Zhang Zimian. If you can find them, bring them back. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded, the expansion of the special operations brigade was originally established specifically for these tasks.

"Do you want to send another group of people on an assassination mission?" Gongsun Lan asked, although Murong Xue said that she missed Li Keyong this time, but she killed Liu Yue, and the chain reaction caused by it was of great help to Qin Jun.

"Forget it, assassin killers don't succeed every time. With Liu Yue's experience, I am afraid that all parties have taken precautions, and it will be difficult to succeed. ”

Gongsun Lan also left, leaving Li Jing and Gai Yu in the house.

"We will go back to Dengzhou early tomorrow morning, and then take a boat to go to sea and go directly to Youzhou to land. You go first, go to the river and get ready, and I'll be there. ”

Gai Yu was excited, and it was finally time for the decisive battle, the battle of Huaisi was just a small battle to contain Gao Yu Huangchao and seize the territory of Huanghuai. What will really determine the fate of the Qin army, which is the most powerful force today, will be the upcoming Battle of Hebei. As long as this battle can be won again, the foundation of the Qin army will be completely solid. Even if Huang Chao now seems to occupy the East and West Erjing, so what?

Li Jing walked through the room, "The last thing to do," he said as he walked to the door, "I will capture Li Keyong in the future, and you can do whatever you want." ”

Out of the conference room, Li Jing went back to the bedroom, and sat quietly in the room for a long time. The decoration of the room is very chic, which makes Li Jing also have a heart of love. Looking out of the window, he saw that the guards outside had received the latest military orders, the breeze was blowing, and the guards were beginning to pack up and get ready to go.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, and Gongsun Lan was also packing up a few clothes. Li Jing hugged her from behind, put his hand under her thin shirt, and held the soft breasts under the bandeau chest. She stopped the movement of her hand, tilted her head back, leaned on Li Jing's shoulder, and rubbed her face against Li Jing's face, with affection.

"San Lang." She said lazily and lightly with a hint of spring.

Her nipples gradually hardened, but the whole person began to slowly soften, Li Jing turned his head and kissed her lips. "Baby, I told you to give me a baby. There's no movement yet, and we need to hurry up and not waste it. ”

Gongsun Lanmei's eyes were like silk, and this sentence had already made her valley overflowing with spring tides, full of mud, and hot all over.

"San Lang, do you think it's better for us to have a son, or a daughter?"

Li Jing picked up Gongsun Lan and threw her on the bed, and then the whole person pounced on her like a hungry tiger, and began to tear off her clothes belt, while laughing: "I like to give birth to boys and girls, as long as you want, we will give birth to ten or eight of them" (to be continued......
