Li Qin said a rough idea, and everyone thought about it, and made suggestions one after another, supplementing Li Qin's general outline, and soon formed an outline. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After that, Li Qin ordered someone to find Shi Fei Xuan and inform her of his intentions: "...... I can supply the firearms, grain, grass, and horses you want, but this is not for free. You must know that these things are planted, cultivated, and built by the people, pastures, and factories under my rule, and they all cost manpower, material resources, and resources, and if you want to, you have to pay a price. ”

"At what cost?" Shi Fei Xuan frowned slightly and asked.

"Population, gold and silver!" Li Qin said directly: "Chang'an, Henan, and Hedong all have gold and silver, and there are also people who can't survive, I will give you a price list, you bring it to Emperor Tang, and he will discuss and decide." To allow or not to allow, it's just a sentence. ”

"This ......" Concubine Shi squinted her eyes and pursed her mouth tightly, her heart full of anger. She wanted to ask Li Qin loudly, "Did you fall into the eyes of money?" ”

But in the end, she still didn't dare to do this, because she knew that under such circumstances, unless Li Tang surrendered to the Turks, it was necessary to continue to fight and obtain Li Qin's resources.

Different from the original situation in history, Li Tang now has no Jiangnan and lost Bashu, although it is based on the land in China, but Guanzhong is fighting every year, and the grain, grass and ordnance are gradually missing. It can be said that Li Tang's chariot has fallen into a situation where it is heavy and difficult to travel, and the follow-up is weak.

"It can't be like this, it must be persevered!" Senior Concubine Xuan gritted her teeth, was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "I will inform King Qin of this news." ”

"That's good! Pay with one hand and deliver with the other...... I'll be sure to give you something good. You know, I'm a child. Li Qin laughed as he spoke.

That look of complacency made Concubine Shi Xuan crazy, if she could, she would definitely want to pounce on Li Qin and bite off a piece of meat from him.

Of course, at this time, he could only think about it, and he couldn't do it directly, after all, she still had a request for Li Qin now. Being able to get the relevant materials is already a great news for Li Tang, who was beaten by the Turks, although it takes money and population to exchange, but this is nothing to Li Tang, who is already in crisis.

At this moment, Li Tang has nothing else, there is still gold, silver and population, among which there are many war refugees who can't survive and some people who are dissatisfied with Li Tang. For these people, it is impossible for Li Tang to directly kill them all.

Since Li Qin is willing to accept it, then Li Tang is naturally willing to throw these burdens to Li Qin - even if he doesn't ask Emperor Tang for these things, Concubine Xuan also understands that Li Yuan will definitely agree.

It's just that......

"It's really bad to be blackmailed." Concubine Shi shook her head in annoyance.

Concubine Xuan left quickly, and after Li Qin handed her the price list, she returned to the military camp under Luoyang overnight to inform Li Shimin, who was about to return to her division, of the news.

As Shi Feixuan herself guessed, Li Shimin did not have any objection to Li Qin's conditions at all, and even rejoiced because of this: "Since Li Qin will put forward such conditions, it proves that he has no intention of the Northern Expedition." I don't understand why he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity. But he doesn't move to give us a respite. Hey, this guy Li Qin is still too indecisive. ”

"This is also a symbol of King Qin's destiny!" The generals under Li Shimin's command all said jokingly.

Li Qin's actions calmed Li Shimin's heart, and Li Shimin slowly retreated by using the strategy of "increasing the number of stoves and reducing the troops", and when Wang Shichong realized that something was wrong, Li Shimin had already walked for three days and passed Hongnong. Wang Shichong couldn't chase after him, so he could only watch Li Shimin retreat to the gate. The situation between the two sides has basically returned to its original state.

The only exception is that after experiencing the siege of Luoyang, Wang Shichong's heart is no longer angry. He has no ambition or courage, and all kinds of shortcomings that have been covered up by his wise and martial deeds in the past have exploded at this time.

Soon after the retreat of the Tang army, he cleaned up the generals in his army, some of whom were killed by him, some were demoted by him, and some left because of this. Some of these people went west to Li Tang, while others went south to Li Qin.

Synthesize the information obtained by Li Qin's intelligence organization in Luoyang City. Li Qin can really feel that Wang Shichong is really a day by day.

"This guy is really hopeless." Li Qin listened to the information he got from Feng Tianqing, sighed and shook his head: "He doesn't trust generals with foreign surnames, he only trusts the people of his Wang family."

However, after all, there are more people with foreign surnames in this world. His own sons, nephews, and nephews are not outstanding. If he continues to mess around like this, his subordinates will turn away from him......"

Li Qin said and held his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice the generals who were summoned to the Hanming Palace: "You say, should we take the opportunity to take Luoyang?" ”

When Li Qin asked this, the time had already shifted to October of the second year of Xingtong.

Late autumn has arrived, and people can smell the cold of winter from the increasingly cool weather. This winter is sure to be a cold day. Although autumn is suitable for war, it refers to the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Now that autumn is over, winter is coming soon, and I am afraid that when I go out and go on the expedition, I am afraid that the snow will fall.

Winter, since ancient times, there is a saying that cats are winter, but it is not very suitable for the action of the army.

Of course, that was only for the armies of ordinary forces, but Li Qin was different. He has established his own military-industrial system, built a matching war mobilization system, and has a professional army that is completely used for combat.

This unit already has the qualities of modern professional soldiers, and as a normal case, they are capable of launching an offensive against the enemy at any time. As long as the weather is not too bad to be extreme, launching an attack on Luoyang is nothing to them.

"Winter hits...... That's something that can be a surprise and get us off to a good start. Li Qin understood this matter, and the people in the hall were also very clear.

Since there is no problem of not being able to fight due to the influence of the weather, it is a matter of whether or not to fight.

After all, they fought under Li Qin, and in every war, they were asked to discuss what the benefits and disadvantages of this war were for their side. Over time, everyone gradually became accustomed to measuring the necessity of a war by their interests.

Do you want to fight Luoyang?

What are the benefits of hitting Luoyang?

Of course, there is, first of all, Luoyang is a big city suitable for being the capital, with no shortage of population, wealth, and palaces. With Li Qin's current situation, if he can take Luoyang, he is afraid that he can also call it orthodox.

In addition, there is a Jingnian Zen Monastery on the outskirts of Luoyang, for this thug of Cihang Jingzhai, who has been stirring up things under Li Shimin, Li Qin is extremely resentful, take Luoyang, just clean them up, even if you can't destroy the Jingnian Monastery with a happy grudge, but you can force them to close the mountain for decades, which is also a good thing for Li Qin.

Moreover, Li Qin still remembered that there was a famous temple called Dengfeng in the southeast of Luoyang - Shaolin Temple.

"The world's martial arts come out of Shaolin...... What a name. Li Qin sighed and shook his head slightly.

The world's martial arts come out of Shaolin, this sentence is certainly too much now, but it is quite correct to say that the world is white and return to Buddhism.

The power of Buddhism was so strong, which naturally made Li Qin deeply uneasy.

Of course, this is not the most critical, the most critical point for Li Qin to fight Luoyang is that he wants to have an opening to seize the north. The Turkic southward movement gave him the name of interfering in the north, and how to use this name to the extreme was something that Li Qin needed to operate.

In the course of the discussion, Li Qin made all of the above clear with the generals under his command, and they unanimously agreed. If you want to do it up and down, then let's fight.

Li Qin quickly determined the policy of attacking Wang Shichong.

At this time, the situation in the world is like this. After Li Tang retreated from Luoyang in August, he went all out to wage war with the Turks.

After receiving the grain, grass, materials, firearms, equipment and other materials that Li Qin successively supplied, they also settled down and carried out the operation of recovering the lost territory with an open mind.

Dou Jiande in the northeast also took the weapons supplied by Li Qin and the Turks. However, their battle was drawing to a close.

As the weather cools, it is clear that it is impossible for the Turks to continue to stay in the south, and they must return to their place of Maodong, and it is likely that next year there will be another fight. It can be said that from November, which will soon come, to March next year, the entire front north of the Yellow River will stagnate.

Whether it is the Turks, Li Tang, or Dou Xia, they will all repair in this cold season, hoarding supplies for future war preparations - as far as the current situation is concerned, the next few days will be a good time for Li Qin's side to make a big swing. Li Qin heard that Li Tang and Dou Xia both sent envoys to the south to come to Jiangning to talk to him about the purchase of relevant materials.

"It's another big deal." Li Qin smiled. He discussed with Song Zhi, Lai Hu'er, Shen Luoyan and others, "Is it possible to use the actions of these material caravans to cover up our actions?" ”

"It's a very good idea, as long as the scale of our troops is not very large, we can hide it." Lai Hu'er nodded lightly when she heard this.

"50,000 troops, from Xiangyang to the north, take Luoyang!" Li Qin stated his plan.

"Fifty thousand, that's no problem." Regarding Li Qin's statement, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then, tell Kou Zhong to get ready! Once we move, they have to start working. This time, we are going to destroy the country, and I don't want to delay it. Li Qin commanded.

"Understood!" Feng Tianqing received the order. Li Qin nodded with satisfaction and headed towards Shen Luoyan: "You should also start taking action over there." Many of the generals and generals with foreign surnames have suffered injustice during this period of time, and I want you to contact them to make them surrender to us. ”

"No!" Shen Luoyan clenched his fists and arched his hands. As a result, Dawu's war machine was once again in operation.
