Xinye, a camp slightly smaller than the camp of the Chinese army, is the place where the prince Li Jiancheng handles government affairs and receives civil and military ministers, since Li Yuan's personal expedition, the military power in the direction of Nanyang has come into his hands, and he has no distractions to fight this battle, Li Tang government affairs are all handled by Li Jiancheng. So it became the place where Li Jiancheng temporarily worked.

Li Jiancheng had already returned from the Chinese army camp, standing in front of a camp wall with his hands behind his back, staring at the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on the wall.

This is a map that encompasses the whole world, and several different colors represent various forces, but at this time, on this map, there are more and more red colors, and they are getting wider and wider; However, the white color is becoming less and less, Dou Jiande's black and Li Mi's blue are also shrinking, Du Fuwei's purple and Xiao Miao's light green are also changing, and the crimson that occupies the entire north is like a pool of blood, radiating a hideous color at the intersection of white, black, and blue, and vowing to dye other colors red.

White, naturally, is the national color of the Tang Dynasty, but now it is very small.

Li Jiancheng stared at the white area on the map, his heart was very heavy, now only Bashu is complete, Nanyang and Xiyang in Jingzhou are surrounded by red, Li Jiancheng stared for a long time, and lifted a red pen to dye the northern half of Nanyang red. As a result, the area of Xiyang Zhuyang Pass, which protrudes to the north, is particularly lonely.

Whether or not to keep the Xiangyang Gateway, the key is in Guanyang Pass, and whether Li Shimin can hold Guanyang Pass, Li Jiancheng is full of worries, if Zhuyang Pass is broken, the Sui army will be able to sweep Xiyang with the momentum of breaking the embankment, which will make the Nanyang Tang Army worthless, and can only retreat to Xiangyang in disgrace, otherwise, not only will they be in a dangerous situation, but even Xicheng County and Fangling County will not be able to resist the Sui army poured in from Xiyang.

At this time, there was a report from the guards at the door, "Your Highness, Liu Xiangguo is waiting outside the camp, saying that there is something important to report." ”

"Let him in!" Li Jiancheng put down the red pen and quickly greeted the camp gate, and in less than a moment, he hurried to Liu Wenjing and bowed: "See Your Highness." ”

"Xiangguo is polite, let's sit down and talk." Li Jiancheng motioned for Liu Wenjing to take a seat.

"Your Highness!" Liu Wenjing didn't say much, and after Li Jiancheng took his seat, he sat down.

Li Jiancheng asked: "Xiangguo is in a hurry, is there something wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that none of Pei Lian's so-called Sui five defeats are true, and they are completely nonsense taken out of context!"

"......" Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly, "I also know this, but our army is afraid of Sui like a tiger, and we need Pei Lian's to be inspired!" ”

Liu Wenjing said: "This is also the reason why the minister did not debunk it on the spot." ”

Li Jiancheng looked at the indignant, ignorant and fearless Liu Wenjing, only felt his eyelids tremble, and gave him a sense of the rest of his life.

Liu Wenjing, who didn't realize that he was almost dead, continued: "The minister thinks that we think of Yang Tong simply. ”

"How so?"

"The Sui Dynasty has always beaten the enemy with a brilliant momentum to the point that he can't raise his head, and this time it has been brewing intermittently and many times, which is very unusual. Not long ago, Xiao Mo and Du Fuwei were mobilizing troops at the same time, assuming the posture of Li Mi who was jointly attacking."

"Xiangguo is saying that the Sui army is holding back our army, and we are not allowed to attack from behind, so as to ensure that Xiao Mo can let go of his hands and feet to fight Li Mi?"

"Exactly!" Xiao Mo said firmly.

Not long ago, he got a piece of information that Lin Shihong cooperated with Li Mi to launch an offensive against Du Fuwei and almost let him succeed, but at this time, Xiao Miao, who was free because of the Sui and Tang Wars, attacked Lin Shihong and defeated him again and again.

At that time, Li Tang Junchen thought that Lin Shihong and Xiao Mo only wanted to be profitable fishermen and seek their own benefits, but they did not take this matter to heart. But nowadays, it seems that things are not so simple.

"What does Xiangguo think?"

"Du Fuwei is similar to Zhai Rang, they are all forced by the situation, they have no ambition to be the emperor in their bones, and they are people who are small and rich; From Du Fuwei's refusal of my Tang canonization, the minister suspected that he had surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, and Xiao Mo had no heirs, and his only daughter had been promised to Yang Tong, even if he laid down a large area of the country, it could only be inherited by the descendants of the Yang family in the end, so why should he continue to oppose the Sui? More importantly, he had lost the strength to compete for the world, so it was possible to surrender to the Sui Dynasty. ”

"I understand, although Xiao Mo and Du Fuwei are self-reliant, they are actually under Yang Dong's remote control, Xiao Mo sent troops to attack Lin Shihong, and naturally accepted Yang Dong's orders, so Yang Tong did not want to attack my Tang Dynasty, but attacked Li Mi first." Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng had already understood what Liu Wenjing meant, and his layout of Yang Tong was generally clear, but he still had doubts in his heart, so he asked: "Li Mi has a lot of troops, Du Fuwei is not his opponent at all, and Xiao Mi's soldiers can't even swallow Lin Shihong, let alone Li Mijun's opponent, so he can only rely on the Sui army himself, but the Sui army that pinned him down is only the 60,000 troops of Li Jing in Yingchuan, which has more than enough self-preservation and insufficient progress." ”

In his early years, Li Jiancheng traveled to study the world, made friends with heroes all over the world, and once went to Yingchuan. He knew that Yingchuan was a large plain, but there would be one or two hills protruding in the plain, and the southernmost part could be slightly obtained, but it was just a hilly and undulating place, the mountains were extremely low, all plains and hills were interspersed, the river network was dense, and a large area of farmland was distributed

However, its strategic position is extremely important, Liangjun in the northeast of Yingchuan, Huaiyang in the east, and Runan in the southeast are Li Mi's territory, and Huai'an in the south is Li Tang's territory; The Xingyang County in the north of Yingchuan, the Shuyang County in the southwest, and the Xiangcheng County in the west are from the Great Sui, and the north of Xiangcheng County is Luoyang. Therefore, Yingchuan County is the center of Henan Province, and it is also the capital of Cao Wei, Xuchang, which has always been a place for soldiers.

Now the Sui army is scattered all over the world, Luoyang, Xiangcheng, Xingyang is not much troops, in Li Jiancheng's view, Li Jing's 60,000 army is not only to contain Li Mi, but also to guard the Luoyang gateway army, limited by strategy and terrain, Li Jing can move few troops, or even one can not move, how can this cooperate with Du Fuwei and Xiao Mo to fight Li Mi?

Liu Wenjing sighed in his heart, this is another problem with Li Tang Junchen, in addition to staring at Li Tang's one-third of an acre, they only pay attention to the strong enemy of the Sui Dynasty, in addition, at most, they will take a look at Xiao Milling in the south, and no one has ever put the whole world into the field of vision to consider, once there is a big change in the world, it will suddenly dawn on it, but after the enlightenment, not only can not change the facts, but it will still be the same afterwards. Yang Tong and Li Mi are different, they always think about it all, otherwise, Li Yuan will not be ruthlessly harmed by Li Mi with a paper covenant and the territory he wanted to give up. And Li Tang was greedy for a large number of unowned territories after Li Mi went south, so he would launch the Eastern Crusade with the strength of the country, and because he underestimated Wang Shichong's will to resist, the troops were divided into two routes, and finally not only became Yang Tong's sharp blade to annihilate Wang Shichong, but was also broken by Yang Tong one by one.

He settled down, got up and walked to the map, picked up the wooden stick on the side, pointed to the black field representing Dou Jiande's forces, and said, "Your Highness, judging from the ministers, Dou Jiande may have surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. ”

"What?" Li Jiancheng was taken aback and asked, "Xiangguo, why do you say that?" ”

"Judging from the information sent back from the front, Dou Jiande after pacifying Wang Xiaohu has less than 30,000 elite divisions, and his enemy is an absolute advantage of more than 100,000 Sui troops, even if Yang Tong is stupid, it is impossible to let Dou Jiande's variable exist at this time, but the Sui army has not made a move; There is only one possibility, that is, Dou Jiande must have changed, and Dou Jiande is benevolent and righteous, loves soldiers like a son, and has many soldiers who are loyal to him. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Wenjing's bright eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and then analyzed: "If Dou Jiande surrenders to Sui, then it will relieve Yang Tong's worries, not only free up more than 100,000 Sui troops, but also use Dou Jiande's army to deal with Li Mi, which can be described as a multiplicity." With these more than 100,000 troops, does His Highness still think that Yang Tong does not have the strength to deal with Li Mi? ”

"How sure are you?" Li Jiancheng suddenly asked excitedly, if the Sui army concentrates its forces to deal with Li Mi, then Li Tang will get a precious respite, once the Sui and Wei are in a stalemate, the Tang army can even cooperate with Li Mi and launch a fierce attack on the Sui army, so that the Sui army can't take care of the belly and back.

"Eighty percent!" Liu Wenjing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng couldn't sit still, and was about to tell his father the news, but he was a cautious person, walked a few steps, and turned back and asked, "But how can you conclude that the Sui army that has freed up your hands is not dealing with us, but Li Mi?" ”

Liu Wenjing replied: "Li Mi's civil and military affairs are mostly people from the Central Plains, he has now given up operating the Central Plains for many years, and waved his army south, although he has avoided Yang Tong's edge, but it has also hurt the hearts of many people, resulting in frequent internal dissatisfaction, but because of Li Mi's authority, no one dares to refute, but now, Li Mi's southward strategy is not very smooth, and the voice of dissatisfaction has gradually turned from dark to light, this is one, second, my Tang Dynasty has been operating in Bashu and Jingzhou for many years, and the roots are stable, and Li Mi's newly occupied land, the people's hearts are not attached, and the foundation is unstable, In comparison, Li Mi is undoubtedly easier to deal with in Datang; Third, Yang Tong's Qingzhou army is close to Li Mi, only need to surpass Lu County, can attack Pengcheng County, to the west is Liang County, as long as the two counties, Li Jing's 60,000 army will be revitalized, at this time, the two armies work together, Huaishui to Qian County, Huaiyang, Ruyin, Runan can be broken overnight. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "What Xiangguo said is very reasonable, I will go and tell my father." ”

Liu Wenjing smiled slightly: "Your Highness, Li Mi is my natural ally of the Tang Dynasty, once Li Mi is eliminated, we will be next." Therefore, it is best to advise the saint to go up and inform Li Mi, so that Li Mi can prepare for the Sui army to attack in a big way. ”

"Thank you Sangkook!" Li Jiancheng saluted to the ground, his face flashed with a strong look of gratitude, he knew that Liu Wenjing was giving himself a chance to perform, otherwise, he would not have found himself, but went directly to tell his father.

"The Sui Dynasty is a behemoth, and Yang Tong has the strength to fight on both sides, so he can't say death." Liu Wenjing prompted.

"Good!" Li Jiancheng nodded heavily.
