"What are they thinking?"

After receiving the pharmaceutical process sent by Xinlan, Shimin and the others were stunned at first, and then they were stunned when they heard that the south had finally taken action.

"Is this because we're not strong enough?"

"Your Majesty, I think this is a sign of a break with us. Yue Jianghong thought for a while.

Shimin frowned slightly, unable to understand the logic behind this.

"They intend to repay the kindness of the first emperor first. ”

"I see, they want to be famous. ”

Shimin nodded lightly, knowing in his heart. At the moment when his regime has been relatively stable, the south can only seize the fact that Sima Di's original heir is Longji to fight back, but the problem is that Sima Di has not yet announced his death to the public.

Shimin immediately ordered someone to issue a document reprimanding the Xie family and the Yang family in the name of the Emperor Tai, and at the same time let people spread the news that Xinlan and others planned to provoke civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if Xinlan and the others try their best to block the news, they will be powerless in the face of this era of advanced information. The people of the world did not seek to influence everyone, but only to make the people with low literacy and the soldiers suspicious.

Yue Jianghong understood that Shimin had misunderstood what he said, but he still didn't correct it, what he wanted was Shimin's utilitarian thoughts, emotional mistakes, and the actions of Xinlan and others this time were the best proof-

No matter what the civil war is, the two sides will tacitly agree not to use the power of the border defense, Xinlan and the others understood this, so they sacrificed high-grade health enhancement pills to ensure that after the civil war, the Great Song Dynasty could still resist the invasion of Gumeng.

How naïve!

He has been thinking about why Xinlan and the others have been silent for a month, but he didn't expect it to be for such a ridiculous reason, but he has to say that he is also a naïve person, otherwise he would not understand the thinking mode of these guys. At this time, he even envied the people of the world, because the people of the world can get involved in interests no matter what, in the eyes of the people, no one in this world will act for beliefs other than interests, right?

"Pass the news to the Lu family, let them suppress the Xie family, Taishi, and the task of defeating the Yang family will be handed over to you, please be sure to solve it quickly. ”

Shimin was not an indecisive man and would not have wanted to avoid a civil war until now, but his ambitions were abroad, so it was certainly best to end it quickly.

This time, it was said that the three families in the south were in trouble at the same time, but anyone can see that the Yang family is the backbone, as long as the Yang family is broken, the other two families naturally do not have to worry.

But Your Majesty, I think the Yang family will choose to defend it. ”

"I think so too. The eyes of the people of the world became cold.

The main arm of the Yang family is the Flying Dragon Army and is closest to Heluo Province, so within this month, the Yue family and the imperial court have already arranged a "Ma Qi defense line" to prevent the Yang family from attacking north, with the cunning of Xinlan and Yang Jing, it will definitely not shake the defense line, but with this defense line, the Yue family can attack and defend, and in turn threaten the Yang family not to let it detour. Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the two sides face off at the border and contain each other.

But how could the people of the world tolerate a protracted war, so he would invest the imperial court forces to assist in the defense, let Yue Jianghong attack with his hands and feet, and take it as his responsibility to break through the defense line.

Of course, this is a normal situation, in case the battle of Yue Jianghong is unfavorable, it is necessary to rely on the Lu family to defeat the Xie family to link Hefei and Jiujiang Province to threaten the Yang family, after the Xie family loses six imperial tools, it is not difficult for the Lu family to gain an advantage.

And if Xinlan and others want to win, the best and most old-fashioned way is to go out of Hanzhong and capture Chang'an all the way, but the Tubo envoys have already said that they will send troops to threaten the western border and drag down part of the forces of Shu Han...... The current Shu Han is not the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms period, after the deception at the beginning of the year, Liu Tian let many soldiers disarm and return to production in order to cultivate Shu, so the entire territory of Shu Han before was even less than the Yang family. And in the past month, Shu Han has not re-recruited soldiers at all, that is to say, Shu Han can send tens of thousands of soldiers, and such a force wants to attack it? Just kidding.

"Wait a minute!"

Shimin and Yue Jianghong are more experienced in leading troops to fight, so Fang Ruhui has never intervened, but this does not mean that he does not understand, but he has too many questions in his heart, and he has not been able to figure it out for a while, and now seeing that the two of them are about to set a strategy, he hurriedly shouted.

"Your Majesty, Taishi, what if they don't aim to occupy the city at all, and go straight to the capital?"

Of course, what Fang Ruhui said was not the Yang family, because they were originally prepared for the Yang family to come to this hand, and as for the Xie family, which was stopped by the Lu family, there was not much chance, and the rest was of course Shu Han.

In the final analysis, it is all because the Mo family chooses to be neutral, and now Chang'an is taken over by the four saints of Kowloon Island, which is much weaker than the normal power of the Eight Kings, but in terms of family, the Jiang family where Jiang Shuitian is located is the weakest and most beautiful among the Eight Kings, and it is only the eighth-order primary, as long as the Four Saints of Kowloon Island do not fight with Liu Tian and rely on the Chang'an Great Array to hold on, why be afraid?

But Fang Ruhui was more cautious than Yue Jianghong and Sima Shimin, he felt that what he could think of, Liu Tian must have thought of it, and after thinking about it deeply, he came to the conclusion that why attack Chang'an, take the Qinling Secret Road through it like at the beginning, directly attack Luoyang or even Luoyang, and attack all the way to Kaifeng or attack their "March Defense Line" on both sides.

"I thought the prime minister was worried about something...... Shimin waved his hand and smiled, "Although the Dragon Clan has a close relationship with the Yang family, they are allied with our 'Great Song', as long as I negotiate with them as royalty, they will never open the secret passage." ”

The people of the world are not conceited, but it is true, the situation of the Qinling Dragon Clan is probably similar to that of the Mo family, and a small number of "free dragons" can be sent to assist the Yang family, but they cannot give the green light at the dangerous pass.

"But they may be able to detour by other means......" Fang Ru said.

"The Prime Minister is too worried, it is not easy for a large army to make a detour as it pleases, and when the time comes, I will send the people of the Jinyi Guard to assist the defenders along the way to reconnoitre, and if they really have this idea, we can ambush them or cut off their rear route. ”

The reason why the main road is the main road is nothing more than because it is convenient and suitable for traffic, the road around is generally difficult to walk, the speed is naturally not fast, and it is easy to be ambushed, the Yinping trail that Xinlan took to destroy Shu in the past was very dangerous, if it were not for the fact that the Shu lord did not trust Liu Shan at that time, and withdrew the soldiers who guarded the trail in the early years, it is still unknown whether Xinlan can succeed.

Fang Ruyan was speechless, he was always uneasy, but he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, so he had to give up in the end.

In fact, judging from the situation after that, his thinking direction was not wrong, and the mistake was that they all underestimated the courage of Xinlan and others.

……

Shimin's propaganda among the people did not play a decisive role, but it did cause a lot of trouble for the Xie and Yang families, and just when the high-grade medicines from all over the north and south were mass-produced and transported to the hands of senior generals in the army, the outpost war finally began.

"The Xie family will conduct a military exercise!"

"Shu Han and the Yang family will conduct a joint military exercise"

After sending these two messages, except for Jiujiang Province, the network connection between the south and the north was cut off.

Everyone knows that there are secret agents in the territory, and the easiest way to do it is to cut off the north-south communication and focus on monitoring special signals rather than taking the time to find out, the latter is of course difficult to implement perfectly, but during the period when the intelligence officers of both sides show their skills, the armies of both sides can operate without the enemy knowing the details.

Is it really the enemy, though?

"Strange, why is the multiplier of nine in wartime map expansion?" someone noticed.

Ten to fifty is a multiplier of civil war, it is well known, but what is under ten, no one knows.

"Isn't it a civil war?" someone thought.

"Don't be kidding, it's all about to fight, how can it not be a civil war?"

Not to mention the doubts that linger in the hearts of these people, they are far away in the depths of a certain mountain called Qianyuan Mountain in Shudi.

"It's finally time to act...... The bastards of the Illuminati would never have guessed this. ”

An old man with a happy face sat at the door of the Huoyun Cave and muttered to himself.

"But for the Illuminati, as long as they make a slight modification, they can avoid this crisis, and I don't think it's good to act now. A spirit surrounded by flames floated in front of the old man.

"I don't have time to wait. The old man smiled bitterly, even if he is a saint, he will die of old age one day, and he will continue his life against the sky, just for that trace of obsession, "This time is the largest investment in the history of the Bright Sect, I want to try, even if I can't expose them to the world, I have to tear off a piece of meat from them." ”

The fire elf sighed.

"Will those people say yes?"

"With the end of the Four Elephants Gate ahead, they will give it a go. ”

The hidden sect disappeared completely when it was hidden, and the Four Elephant Sect was definitely not the first, recalling what happened to him, the bitterness on the old man's face quickly turned into ruthlessness.

The old man raised his left hand, and on it was a sun-eclipse seal, and as the magic power worked, the seal emitted a terrifying black light, and blood oozed along the outline of the mark.

"Backlighters, follow the ancient oath and fight to banish the light!"

Eleven black rays of light flew out of the old man's hands, one submerged into the fire spirit's body, and the other ten flew to the sky and disappeared.

……

On December 12, 10087, Emperor Wu's Eastern Expedition, codenamed "Shenlong", kicked off.
