Chapter 197: Raising Troops Together

"Will they be destroyed by the Tang Kingdom?" Xuan Fei was surprised.

He didn't care about the other two, but after all, he was spared by Lu Yuan and gave him a great credit, so he still cared a little about him.

Li Ziqian glanced at Xuan Fei and said: "I expect that the Tang Dynasty will first let Li Jingsui lead the troops to quell the chaos, and these three parties may be able to win a few battles during this time, but soon the Tang Emperor will let Li Hongyi lead the troops, and they will be defeated at that time. ”

Xuan Fei did not agree with Li Ziqian's opinion, and said: "Lu Yuan's subordinates in Hui'an Mansion are full of talents, and there may not be no generals who can defeat Li Hongyi. ”

Li Ziqian shook his head and said: "Naturally, it depends on the generals to fight, but when the generals on both sides do not make big mistakes, the competition is for resources and population, especially for long-term battles, whether it is Hui'an Mansion or the current Changsha Mansion, it is far from consuming the Tang State." ”

Chen Hongjin frowned secretly, Li Ziqian's words were undoubtedly belittling the role of generals, as the first general under Liuxiao, he didn't like to compete with others for the benefit of words, and when the war began, he would use practical actions to prove that he was better than this scholar in military affairs.

Liu Congxiao agreed with Li Ziqian's words very much, and said solemnly: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, I don't know what else needs to be done in addition to writing the edict appointing these people?" ”

"Send envoys to the Southern Han State and Wu Yue Kingdom, and let them send troops together."

"What if they don't send troops?" Chen Hongjin said lightly.

"It's naturally good to send troops, and it doesn't hurt to send troops."

"The military division, the Baisheng Army and the Yongan Army are guarding Jianzhou and Tingzhou, I don't know if the military division has a good strategy to capture Erzhou?" Liu Congxiao didn't want the two to argue, so he changed the topic.

Li Ziqian said: "We don't have to attack the city, just wait for them at the junction of the two armies, just wait for them." ”

"The Strategist means they're going to attack us?" Xuan Fei asked.

"Not bad."

Liuxiao stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, let's fight with them in the field!" ”

Chen Hongjin said coldly: "Let them see the strength of my Qingyuan Army." ”

Li Ziqian shook his head and said, "No, we have to lose the first few battles." ”

"You want to lure the enemy deeper?" Chen Hongjin quickly reacted.

Li Ziqian nodded.

Chen Hongjin said coldly: "We can still win the field battle, why bother? ”

Li Ziqian shook his head and said: "Win at the border, they can still escape back to Tingzhou and Jianzhou, our next attack will delay time, if the enemy is lured in our territory, we can completely annihilate the enemy, and quickly seize Tingzhou and Jianzhou." ”

Chen Hongjin nodded secretly and stopped talking.

Liu Congxiao was overjoyed and said: "After capturing Tingzhou and Jianzhou, let's attack Xinzhou and Fuzhou again!" ”

Li Ziqian shook his head and said, "No, after defeating Tingzhou and Jianzhou, we don't have to attack Tang anymore." ”

The smile on Liu's face disappeared, and he frowned: "Why is this?" ”

"Because our next target is Fuzhou." Li Ziqian's words were astonishing.

"You want to fight Wu Yueguo? Why? Xuan Fei was surprised, he had just had a pleasant cooperation with the Shadow Troupe, could it be that he was about to face the enemy?

Liu Congxiao stared at Li Ziqian tightly, waiting for him to explain.

Li Ziqian smiled and said: "This is an inevitable choice, if we fight a long-term war with the Tang State now, we will lose more and win less, even if it is ......."

"You say that there are more defeats and fewer wins, but I think we have a better chance of winning!" It was Wang Baoshan who spoke, he was the second only general to Chen Hongjin under Liu's subordinates, and he had endured Li Ziqian for a long time.

It's a pity that he only wants to listen to Li Ziqian's words now, and he said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, I'll talk about it later, listen to the military advisor first." ”

Li Ziqian continued: "Even if we can win, the Zhou Kingdom will take the opportunity to go south, and it will be difficult for us to defeat under the great injury of vitality." The best way now is to first lay down Fuzhou, a large city of population and commerce, a Fuzhou is equivalent to two or three ordinary states, with Fuzhou as the foundation, and then we attack Wu Yue, then sweep away the Southern Han Dynasty, and finally the Northern Expedition to destroy the Tang Dynasty and Zhou, and unify the world! ”

Stay from the example of the case: "The words of the military advisor are reasonable, then it is decided." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "Military advisor, I want to use the jade seal of the Tang State to issue an edict and proclaim myself the king of Fujian, what do you think?" This is his greatest wish, and it is also his original intention to snatch the jade seal.

Li Ziqian sighed secretly and said, "Yes." ”

Although he didn't agree with it in his heart, he didn't want to have a dislike with Liucongxiao because of this, his goal was to assist Liucongxiao to unify the world and end the troubled times, which needed to let Liucongxiao maintain trust in him.

……

A few days later.

Liu Congxiao proclaimed himself the king of Fujian, and at the same time sent envoys to Xuanzhou, Hui'an, and Langzhou, the hometown of Chu.

Although Bian Hao defeated Langzhou, his soldiers plundered excessively, which was extremely unpopular, and several generals in Langzhou jointly elected Liu Yan as the leader, silently planning a plan to recapture Langzhou.

In a military barracks.

Liu Yan was discussing the army with his generals, when suddenly a general stepped into the camp and laughed: "General Liu, our opportunity has come!" ”

This person's name is Wang Kui, he is the first general under Liu Yan, and he has a heavy army, Liu Yan didn't dare to be too rude to him, he asked: "General Wang, what chance?" ”

Wang Kui said: "Bring it in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several soldiers walked in with a scribe in tow, and the scribe looked arrogant and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Who is this person?" Liu Yan frowned and asked.

Without waiting for Wang Kui's introduction, the scribe said loudly: "I am the envoy of King Min!" ”

Liu Yan laughed: "It's been more than five years since the capital of Fujian perished, where did the King of Min come from?" ”

The scribe snorted: "Qing Yuanliu has been named the king of Min ten days ago!" ”

Liu Yan frowned and said, "Tang Huang sealed it?" ”

"Self-styled."

Liu Yan was furious: "You dare to entertain me, come here, drag it down and cut it down, and the body will be exposed to the sun for three days!" Immediately soldiers came in and arrested the scribe.

"General Liu is angry, listen to him first." Wang Kui said with a smile.

Liu Yan waved his hand, and the soldiers went down, and the scribe straightened his clothes and said lightly: "Although it is self-proclaimed, it is the holy decree of the Tang Emperor." ”

Liu Yan said angrily: "Isn't that what the Tang Emperor sealed?" Why bother going around in circles with General Ben? ”

The scribe smiled and said, "No, it's just because the seal of the Tang Emperor's holy decree has fallen into the hands of my lord." ”

Liu Yan stood up violently, and his eyes flashed: "Then what is the purpose of your coming?" ”

The scribe took out a holy decree from his sleeve and held it high above his head: "The king of Min ordered this envoy to pass the decree and seal General Liu Yan as the envoy of the Changsha Military Festival!" ”

Liu Yan naturally didn't kneel, he came over with an arrow, took a look at the holy decree, and shouted: "Come on, bring the previous holy decree." ”

It didn't take long for several soldiers outside to come in with a holy decree, which was the holy decree given by the Tang Emperor to the generals when Liu Yan and others surrendered.

After comparing the seals on it, after the comparison was correct, Liu Yan laughed: "Sure enough, it's a good opportunity, come here, I want to set up a banquet to entertain the envoy." ”

After the banquet was ready, Liu Yan toasted a glass of wine to the envoy and asked, "I don't know what the King of Min needs to do with such a big gift to General Ben?" ”

The envoy said: "The king of my family is ready to raise troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that General Liu can raise troops with my family, in addition to Lu Weiyi of Xuanzhou and Lu Yuan of Hui'an Mansion will also raise troops at the same time. ”

Liu Yan has led the troops for many years, and he will not be moved by a few words, and said lightly: "I don't know what kind of characters Lu Weiyi and Lu Yuan are, why has General Ben never heard of it, General Wang, have you heard of it?" ”

"I've never heard of it." Wang Kui said with a smile.

The envoy snorted: "That Lu Yuan seized Hui'an Mansion, which was the former Shezhou, and had more than 10,000 troops under his command. Lu Weiyi even has 50,000 troops, and he occupies Xuanzhou, plus the 200,000 troops of our Fujian State, as long as everyone works together, it is not impossible to destroy the Tang State. ”

Liu Yan was slightly moved, he only had 30,000 soldiers and horses under his own command, so it seemed that it was a good choice to cooperate with them.

However, after all, he was quite deep in the city, and although his heart was moved, there was no trace on his face, and he said with a smile: "The envoy will rest here for a day or two first, and then give the envoy an answer after I have discussed it with my subordinates." ”

……

The same scene also happened in Hui'an Mansion, Lu Yuan was originally in the study to perfect the new field method, and suddenly saw Dong Yuan come in with a smile on his face,

"My lord, the people from Qingyuan are here."

"Come in, please."

Dong Yuan took the order and left, and after a while, he took a famous scribe into the study, and he said with a smile: "Your envoy, this is Lord Yin Lu of our Hui'an Mansion." ”

The scribe smiled and said: "Under the order of King Min, I will send Lu Fu Yin a big gift back to report Lu Fu Yin's gift of the jade seal." ”

King Min? Lu Yuan's mind was spinning, could it be that he was crowned king by following the effect? He smiled and said, "I don't know what gift King Min will give back?" ”

The envoy took out the holy decree and handed it to Lu Yuandao: "Lu Fu Yin will know it at a glance. ”

Lu Yuan took the holy decree and looked at it, and saw that he was indeed made a festival envoy, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. With this holy decree, he is legally a servant of moderation.

However, he quickly calmed down, and the most important thing at the moment was whether he could withstand the offensive of the Tang army, calmed down, and said: "I also ask the special envoy to convey it to the King of Min, I am very satisfied with his return gift, I don't know what else the King of Min has to explain?" ”

The envoy smiled and said: "My Qingyuan army plans to send troops to the Tang State on September 15, and at that time, Liu Yan of Langzhou and Lu Weiyi of Xuanzhou will also send troops together, and the King of Min hopes that Lu Jieshuai can also send troops together, as long as the Tang State is destroyed, everyone will share the land." ”

Lu Yuan secretly sneered, this is to trick the three-year-old child, do you think that you will swallow it by drawing a big cake?

"At this time, I need to discuss with my subordinates, and ask the envoy to stay in Hui'an Mansion for a few days." Lu Yuan said lightly,

Although he had made up his mind not to send troops, his posture always had to be done. A few days later, Lu Yuan euphemistically told the envoy that the Hui'an Mansion had insufficient troops, and it was still feared that self-protection would be insufficient, and there were no extra troops to attack the Tang State, so the envoy had no choice but to leave.
