Li An fully believes in Luo Dahu's judgment, the various heroes and powers have coexisted for so many years, although there have been occasional frictions, but such a serious incident has never occurred, and this incident is after Pi Luo Ge married his two daughters to Ji Di, which is enough to show that it is Pi Luo Ge's conspiracy to kill the king of Fu Gui and Ji Rijin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pi Luo Ge used his two biological daughters to engage in such a big conspiracy, and its purpose naturally went without saying, it must be to mess up the relationship between the various heroes and powers in the land, so that the heroes and powers in the land could kill each other, and then at the lowest cost, the entire land could be pocketed.

"General Li, there is another news, Nanzhao's 20,000 elite troops are deployed in the mountains and forests of western Queensland, and now the planing Chongdao and the planing guards are fighting fiercely, and Nanzhao is Huangque is behind, and it is possible to send troops to seize the land at any time."

Luo Dahu tactfully reminded Li An that he should not let the Nanzhao army successfully seize the city of the plan, otherwise, it would be difficult to take it back.

Li An naturally understands this truth, this is like a large island in later generations, because it failed to defend it at all times, it was swallowed up by the surrounding small countries, and it became extremely difficult to recover it in the later stage.

"Luo Dahu, Ben will understand what you mean, however, Ben will have been preparing and has not slackened in the slightest, Ben will remember, the last time you came to Luzhou, you met a group of bandits, this time you came, did you meet bandits again?"

Li An asked confidently.

"General Hui, this time the big tiger didn't meet the bandits."

Luo Dahu replied truthfully, paused, and said in shock: "Could it be that the general has already exterminated all the bandits in Luzhou." ”

Li An laughed confidently: "If the general can't even handle three or five thousand bandits, how can he deter the powerful and Nanzhao in the future?" Moreover, Ben General had just ordered another 1,500 troops to be conscripted, so that the size of the Pingnan Army would reach 5,000. ”

Luo Dahu was stunned in surprise, and hurriedly said: "The general is mighty, the villain believes that the general will definitely be able to thwart the conspiracy of Nanzhao, and the land of the two will definitely belong to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li An nodded with satisfaction, patted Luo Dahu's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Luo Dahu, Ben Jiang and you are also acquaintances, and there are some things I have to tell you." ”

"General, please."

Li An paused and said: "Ben General knows that you are a loyal minister of the Five Edicts, and you are bent on recovering Deng Zhenzhao and killing Pi Luo Ge, but do you know how difficult it is?" ”

"General Li, our edict is really unjust, no matter how difficult it is, we must avenge him and restore Deng Zhen's edict."

Luo Dahu's tone was extremely firm.

Li An pursed his lips and tried his best to put on a smile that did not hurt Luo Dahu: "Luo Dahu, I will know that you are a very loyal person, but do you know the people of Deng Zhizhao, so far, in your Deng Zhizhao, how many people still care about your edict, and what is their attitude towards Pi Luo Ge, do you know?" ”

Luo Dahu sighed slightly: "It was Pi Luoge's hypocrisy that deceived some people, making most of the people gradually forget that they were Deng Zhizhao's people. ”

Li An shook his head lightly: "It's not that they have forgotten their original motherland, but because the vast majority of the people, they only want to live a stable and peaceful life, your edict can let them live a stable life, and Pi Luo Ge can do the same, they don't care whether they are Deng Zhen Zhao people or Nanzhao people, they just want a stable life, that is to say, in the future, you will get less and less support." ”

"Even so, we will never give up."

Luo Dahu had a hint of anger and looked at Li An, "What does General Li mean by this, is it for us to give up?" ”

Li An sighed and said with a straight face: "The meaning of this general is to let you leave a way out for yourself, or a different way of life. ”

"A different way of life? What do you mean? ”

Luo Dahu was confused.

Li An explained: "What this general means is that you can choose to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and make efforts for the Tang Dynasty to guard the southwest frontier, so that it not only restricts the expansion of the Southern Zhao, but you also don't have to live a day of licking the blood from the knife edge, you should understand that as long as the Southern Zhao does not have a full-scale confrontation with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not crusade against the Southern Zhao, so it is impossible for you, a small number of loyal ministers of the Southern Zhao, to restore the old country." ”

"But I'm not willing, isn't the general going to help us?"

Luo Dahu still didn't give up.

Li An said helplessly: "I will be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, if there is no holy decree from His Majesty, how dare I help you restore the old country, but I will help you within the scope of power, and also, you should go back and think about the general's advice, let go of the hatred in your heart, and take refuge in Datang. ”

Luo Dahu looked up at forty-five degrees and didn't say a word.

Li An patted Luo Dahu on the shoulder: "No matter how you choose, our interests are the same in smashing Nanzhao's occupation of the land. ”

"Yes, General Li, on the point of opposing the expansion of Nanzhao, our goal is the same, the general's proposal, I will consider it, the time is not too early, I will retire in the next, if there is a new situation, I will come to report to the general again in the next meeting."

Luo Dahu saluted respectfully and turned to leave.

Li An asked his own soldiers to send Luo Dahu away, and immediately allocated some manpower to go to the place to understand the local situation, so as to avoid relying on Luo Dahu as an outsider for all information.

And the reason why Li An suggested that Luo Dahu join Datang was completely kind, and he couldn't bear to watch Luo Dahu and others go to a road of no return that was difficult to succeed, which was somewhat different from the original idea.

After the Pingnan Army exterminated a large number of bandits, the people of Luzhou had already respected the Pingnan Army like gods, and they all rushed to join the Pingnan Army, recruiting 1,500 soldiers, but there were 20,000 people who signed up to join the army.

This coke spoiled Li An, and asked Li Kunxiong to carefully select and pick out the best to join the Pingnan Army.

The recruits are accompanied by veterans, and the training is naturally smooth, and even some recruits with particularly good physique have surpassed the veterans as soon as they enlistd, and easily put the veterans down, which made Li An very happy.

The situation in the pruning area is not optimistic, and the training of these recruits must be stepped up, and Ang Lee's focus at the moment is to train the troops, and always pay attention to the situation in the pruning area.

At the moment when the invincible lair was captured, Li An was basically wiped out because of the bandits in Luzhou, and it is true that there was no bandit attack on the people for a long time, but half a month later, there was another vicious incident of bandits attacking villages and hijacking the people in Luzhou, which made Li An very angry.

This time, however, the bandits seemed to have become much wiser, and instead of forming a camp with large fortifications, they lived in groups of three or five in caves and shacks in the dense forest, and the adjacent dwellings were separated by at least half a mile, and they often changed their dwellings, and as soon as something unexpected happened, the rest of the bandits all ran away.

In other words, these remaining bandits have become rogues, and moreover, they form a small group of three or five people, the target is very small, and once they encounter the army, they can disguise the city hunters, making it impossible to guard against them.

Everything that is challenging is an opportunity to exercise, Li An naturally will not let these rogues ruin their reputation, since the Pingnan army said that they want to exterminate all the bandits, how can these remaining rogues let go, and this is also a good exercise for the Pingnan army, which can make the Pingnan army better learn jungle warfare.

In the days that followed, Li An sent a different number of officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army every day to go to the mountains to exterminate the Liukou, and according to the characteristics of the Liukou, he set up a variety of pursuit and suppression plans, and each of them was a great training for the Pingnan Army, and the level of jungle warfare of the Pingnan Army was also continuously improved.

In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was looking at Li An's recital, and he didn't feel anything wrong with Li An's own proposal to recruit 1,500 troops again, but this kind of first cut and then then played still made him a little unhappy, however, when he thought that Luzhou was far away from the capital, if he asked him for instructions on everything, it would be very delayed, so he understood Li An's painstaking efforts.

"Your Majesty, I want to see you."

Li Longji nodded and said softly, "Let him in." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Right Minister, is there anything important?"

Li Linfu clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Pinglu Jiedu sent An Lushan to the military department and asked for an increase in weapons and food to deal with the frequent invasion of the two Tibetans, but the treasury is not sufficient, and the military department does not know how to reply. ”

When Li Longji heard this, he frowned: "The treasury is consumed too much, and even the expenditure in the palace has been reduced, I'm afraid I can't give him too much, what does the right minister mean?" ”

Li Linfu rolled his eyes and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Pinglu is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the gateway to deal with the earthquake and the two Tibetans. ”

Li Longji nodded lightly: "What the right minister said is that Pinglu is an important place, so you can't be careless, and temporarily transport all the weapons and food and salaries in the treasury over!" Don't be wronged An Lushan, after all, he is a Hu person, and only by caring about him can he serve Datang more loyally. ”

"Your Majesty."

Li Linfu echoed and said softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Li An has discovered a large-scale gold mine in Luzhou, which produces a lot of money every day, so it will definitely enrich the treasury." ”

Li Longji smiled: "I'm afraid it won't work!" Although Haoqiang has apologized and wanted to be my loyal minister, I feel that these people are not sincere, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel against the Tang Dynasty again, the situation in the southwest is still very sinister, and Li An has already played to use the gold minerals in Luzhou to feed the Pingnan Army to quell the rebellion in the planing land, oh, by the way, Li An has now expanded his army by 1,500 people, and the demand for military salaries is even greater, and I can't affect the development of the Pingnan Army and the situation in the southwest in order to fill the treasury. ”

Since the various clans in the land surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in accordance with Pi Luoge's suggestion, the duty of the Pingnan Army is not to be ready to quell the rebellion at all times, but to strengthen its strength and deter the powerful and powerful in the land, so that they do not dare to act rashly.

Li Linfu's eyes rolled, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Pingnan Army is invincible in Luzhou, and only a small number of soldiers and horses will wipe out all the bandits that have been suffering for many years, and there are almost no casualties among themselves, which is deeply admired by the people of Luzhou, the Pingnan Army is so powerful, it is more than enough to stabilize the situation in the southwest, there is no need to increase the troops again, Li An's intention to increase the troops this time is intriguing!" ”

Li Longji didn't think so, and said with a smile: "What do you mean by the right minister, can Li An still rebel." ”’

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister has no such intention, but he just thinks that with the strength shown by the Pingnan Army when he suppressed the bandits, it is more than enough to deter the powerful and powerful, and there is no need to increase the number of troops again."

"You don't have to worry too much, I will issue an order to stop the size of the Pingnan Army at 5,000, and urge Li An to train the Pingnan Army as soon as possible, I am still waiting for him to return to the capital?"

Li Longji said happily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."

After Li Linfu left, Li Longji frowned and thought about the reason for Li An's sudden increase in troops.

'Why did Li Ang suddenly increase his troops, could it be that the situation in the land has changed dangerously again? ’

Li Longji slandered in his heart, and soon received the news that the group of people who were canonized by the Tang Dynasty killed the father and son of the king of Jiagui and the father and son of the Tang Dynasty, and the land fell into chaos.

After learning of this situation, Li Longji immediately destroyed the prepared holy decree, he felt that Li An's increase in troops must be related to this matter, and regardless of the combat strength of the Pingnan Army, an appropriate increase in troops will increase the confidence to deal with the situation in the land, not to mention the 5,000 Pingnan Army, as long as Li An can stabilize the situation in the southwest, even if the Pingnan Army increases to 10,000 troops, he can accept it, and no matter how much it is, it will really not work.

In the direction of Nanning Prefecture, the main force of the soldiers and horses under the command of Fu Chongdao firmly controlled Nanning Prefecture, and the city of Queensland was also under the control of his son Fu Fuchao, and Fu Qi and Fu Shouyi had been completely tied to the chariot of the father and son of the father and son, and they could only fully support the father and son of the father and son, and tried to establish a new order of the plan.

The son of the king of planing, the son of the king of planing, got the talisman of the king of planing, firmly controlled the six thousand elites left by the king of planing and returning to the king, and gradually gathered the defeated soldiers and horses, and got a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, but compared with the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Chongdao group, the strength is obviously weak, but fortunately, the camp is strong enough, and this can offset the lack of troops.

He concentrated twice as many troops and continued to besiege for more than a month, but he was never able to help the guard, which made him very anxious, of course, the guard did not have the ability to launch a counterattack, and the confrontation between the two sides was in a stalemate.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the corner of the guard, the main general is drinking in the corner, and he is in a very bad mood now.

The siege of Chongdao for a month made him feel very irritable, and his wife Princess Nanzhao was snapped by his father, which made him very uncomfortable, which was also the biggest reason why he refused to rescue his father.

"My son is drinking again, don't you think about how to get out of the current predicament?" (To be continued.) )
