Taihe Village is built in a valley in Emei, and the entrance is a narrow path with cliffs on both sides, and a surging river in front of the entrance. Yuan Ziyan, dressed as a male Taoist priest, stood on the south bank, carrying an ancient sword, looking chic and elegant, and her face was radiant. With deep pool-like eyes, he looked at the terrain on the opposite bank, thinking about how it would be easier to attack if he met each other in Japan.

The river in front of her was about five zhang wide, with only an iron bridge connecting the north and south banks. Although the bridge deck is relatively spacious, once the wooden planks are removed, the three bare iron cables cannot pass people at all. Even if the attacking side is paved with wooden planks, there are many battles on both sides of the opposite bank, and then there is a gate, as long as the soldiers hold it, they can attack the enemy with the word "pin". Therefore, although the opposite bank did not have a wall, it was stronger than the gate.

The design of the three iron cables across the river also shows the sinister intentions of the designers, because of their existence, the attacker's first point of attack must be here, which also means that the soldiers become a live target for the opponent.

In addition to this 'road', Yuan Ziyan thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a way to break the door, the best way might be to block the door, and when they ran out of food, there would be chaos inside, but it was too time-consuming, and since the other party chose to gain a foothold here, there must be another exit.

Just when Yuan Ziyan was bored, the gate on the opposite side suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry came quickly towards this side.

Seeing the other party's unified armor and neat steps, Yuan Ziyan was secretly surprised, this was obviously a well-trained soldier, completely different from the rabble she imagined.

"It's Fairy Yuan?" A burly general said loudly.

"I'm Yuan Ziyan, I don't dare to be a fairy."

The general arched his hand and said, "On the order of the great leader, please invite the fairy into the mountain." ”

"Please lead the way." Yuan Ziyan was extremely bold, she immediately rode her horse onto the chain bridge and followed these soldiers into the cottage.

The group traveled for three or four miles, and suddenly it became clear in front of Yuan Ziyan that there was a large area of farmland in front of Yuan Ziyan, but the other party did not stop, but walked towards the reckless mountains.

Only then did Yuan Ziyan understand why the Taihe Army was not afraid of the Tang Army gathered in Meishan, because the Taihe Army's camps were all built in the reckless mountains, and if there were no acquaintances to lead the way, even if the Tang Army broke through the mountain gate, it was easy to get lost in the chaotic mountain paths.

The other party is obviously based on the mountain, and has built some kind of death formation full of murderous opportunities. This also made her more curious about the identity of the leader of the Taihe Army.

Following this group of soldiers around for nearly half an hour, before arriving at the destination, a number of cottages are located in this group of mountains around, the unique style of wooden houses are built according to the mountain, there are many old people and children here, but they are not afraid of life, and there is no panic of the people in troubled times, giving people a scene of living and working in peace and contentment.

"The great leader is waiting inside, fairy, please come in." When they reached the front of the hall, the leader of the way stretched out his hand.

"Thank you, General." Yuan Ziyan bowed generously and walked into the hall full of anticipation. But I saw that there was only one heroic man sitting high on the main seat in the empty hall, and he was bored playing with a delicate dagger, giving people the feeling of being a child......

When Yuan Ziyan saw the other party's appearance clearly, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and his big black and white eyes were full of incredulity, "Li Guogong? ”

"Uh......" Shen Guang, who thought that Yuan Ziyan didn't know him, lost his mind for a moment when he heard his title pop out of the other party's mouth, and then said lazily: "What Li Guogong?" ”

"On the day of the saint's accession to the throne, I went out of the city to worship the sky, I was fortunate to see Li Guogong in the crowd, Li Guogong don't coax me." Yuan Ziyan said speechlessly.

"I see...... when he was still in Yecheng, Shen Guang was the intelligence chief, and naturally knew Yuan Ziyan, who was pretending to be a ghost, but now that she was exposed, she didn't feel embarrassed, sat upright, put away the dagger, and said with a smile: "Fairy Yuan, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Li Guogong." Yuan Ziyan sat down.

"Why did Fairy Yuan come here?" Shen Guang asked curiously.

"I came especially for Li Guogong." Although Yuan Ziyan was very surprised, finding Shen Guang by mistake was a great gain, which was not just a matter of getting the Taihe Army, but an additional general who could fight well. Because she has been mixed in Yizhou for a year or two, she has also attracted a lot of wingmen for the Great Sui, but she herself does not know how to fight, and there are no good generals to help her lead the troops, so after hearing that the Taihe Army has fought a few beautiful battles, she came to find the general, but she is worried that the leader of the Taihe Army is unwilling to be subordinate, and once she has a strong force, it is not a good thing for the Great Sui. Since the leader of the Taihe Army was Shen Guang, she was relieved.

Listening to Yuan Ziyan's words, Shen Guang couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that I am not a big leader, and I am not even a gray grandson here. However, he didn't explain, but asked, "How many people are there in Fairy Yuan?" ”

"Li Guogong, I have received thirty or forty thousand wingmen, and these people are all in the Qianwei, Yueshan, and Luchuan areas." Seeing that Shen Guang looked at her and didn't speak, Yuan Ziyan thought that he couldn't look down on her, and hurriedly explained: "Although these wingmen are not a regular army, they are all brave and good at fighting, and what they are best at is fighting in the mountains, and all kinds of poisonous arrows are unguardable.

Shen Guang hurriedly said, "Fairy Yuan, it's not that I doubt the combat power of the bureaucrats, but I am surprised by this number. ”

"My father is very convincing in this area, and I have been helped by so many people because of his presence, and it has nothing to do with me." Yuan Ziyan told the truth.

"I heard that there are as many as five or six hundred thousand wingmen, and there are more than 100,000 young and strong people, if these people can be united, it will be a huge force, even if they take Yizhou." Shen Guang suddenly thought of the occupation of the county that he had told Yang Guang before, and said excitedly: "Can you convince them all to surrender?" ”

"It's hard." Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said: "The bureaucrats have suffered too many losses, and they think that the Han people are despicable, cunning, and treacherous, which is one of them. Second, the land is in the hands of local wealthy families, and the people have a large number of people, but they have very little land. Even fewer fell on the wingmen, who could only stay in the mountains, and could only risk their lives to hunt beasts and collect herbs in exchange for food, barely saving their families' lives, but they were still oppressed by profiteers. Therefore, if you can't solve this big problem, you can't make all the bureaucrats obey their orders. ”

"My Great Sui treats everyone equally, and has no national views, and the bureaucrats can not only get the same size of land, but also be officials and generals. This is the most basic national policy of the Great Sui, don't you know? "Shen Guang was originally a free and easy person, and he didn't bother to call 'Fairy Yuan' one by one.

Yuan Ziyan obviously felt the change in Shen Guang's attitude towards him, and said helplessly: "I said it, but they just didn't believe it." In the final analysis, it is still our lack of weight that does not represent the imperial court. ”

"That's ......" Shen Guang thought for a while, and asked Yuan Ziyan, "Then tell me, what is their attitude towards the imperial court's policy?" ”

"Of course, it's a welcome shot."

"This is easy to do, and I can ask the Holy God to give the will." Shen Guang smiled slightly, and he was also a little glad in his heart: fortunately, the saint had the foresight to give the old saint ten blank holy decrees, which finally came in handy.

"Is it just too late?" Yuan Ziyan frowned and said, "I have a plan here, and I may need to use a lot of people." ”

"It's in time, of course it's in time." Shen Guang put gold on Yang Tong's face and said: "The wingman is also the person who the saint wants to woo, and he has already prepared the holy decree, but I haven't found an influential bureaucratic chief, so I haven't issued it." ”

"Is that okay?" Yuan Ziyan's face was full of surprise, and he said in his heart that this holy decree is too casual, right?

"The saint is not a conformist person, otherwise he would not have achieved what he is today, in his words, this is called 'special handling of special things'." Shen Guang explained.

Yuan Ziyan nodded, believed Shen Guang's statement, and said, "That's easy." ”

Shen Guang asked, "Didn't you say you had a plan?" Let's hear it. ”

Yuan Ziyan smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just killing Li Yuan." ”

"Are you kidding?" Yuan Ziyan's words thundered down like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, leaving Shen Guang dumbfounded:

Kill Li Yuan, that's it?

How big is this girl's heart?

Shen Guang, who was only in his thirties, suddenly felt that he was old.

"That's what I thought." Yuan Ziyan said: "Yizhou is in danger of four stops, and it is difficult for the army from outside to attack it, but a strong castle is often easy to break through from the inside. In my opinion, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji are all ambitious people, if Li Yuan dies halfway, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is very likely to be divided into three, so that Yizhou will be much easier to recover. ”

Shen Guang nodded when he heard this, "Your idea is actually very good, and it is a pity that you succeed, I think your father and daughter have been planning for a long time, right?" Is there a specific plan? ”

"Nope." Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "I came up with it myself, when I was waiting in front of the cottage, I felt that this cottage was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the best way was to break it from the inside." ”

Shen Guang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yuan Ziyan with an incredulous expression, "I understand, after you saw me, you wanted to join forces to kill Li Yuan and promote the split of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Exactly."

"Li Yuan is closely guarded, do you think it's possible?"

"Possibly." Yuan Ziyan said his own: "Li Yuan is taking the Yangtze River waterway, because the Yangtze River is turbulent, the river is full of reefs, not all the boatmen who walk on the river all the year round dare not walk, although Li Yuan's fleet has many experienced boatmen, but every night will drop anchor to rest, Li Yuan eats and lives on the boat, we can take advantage of the night, diving and boarding." ”

"The fleet is huge, and there must be a lot of soldiers on both sides of the strait, so how can this blend into their ranks."

"Now it is the rainy season, which has caused the water flow of the Yangtze River to soar, and the fleet is carrying a lot of money, grain, and property, which is extremely heavy.

"It's a good idea." Shen Guang was persuaded by Yuan Ziyan, although the old emperor wanted to save Li Yuan's life, it was still okay to burn the fleet.
