Chapter 123: Rebels must have friends
If you want to rebel, you have to pull your friends together!
Wu Sansi is not without a history of collaborating with the enemy, and when he was in Liangzhou City that day, he led the Tubo people into the country, and almost made Li Ran capsize in the gutter.
Now that the two sides are torn apart, this guy has retreated to the lair, and in order to protect himself, he will definitely try all kinds of ways to betray Datang's intelligence.
The Tibetans, the Turks, the Uighurs, and the Hu people on the surrounding borders are not eyeing each other...... Wu Zetian ignored the government for a long time, the pit was dug too big, and Li Xian could only carry this pot.
"It is not easy for the central army to move."
Li Chongrun reacted very quickly, and immediately overturned the established strategy, suggesting, "Erchen only needs to lead the men and horses of the headquarters, and 8,000 people are enough to put down the rebel party." ”
Heroic, domineering!
The officials were dumbfounded, and their first reaction was that the kid was crazy.
For the sake of honor and fame, take your life to fight for a stud...... Even if he Li Jing is possessed, with 8,000 against tens of thousands, and does not occupy an advantageous advantage, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is going to give away someone's head.
"It is understandable for the father to re-run the heart of the thief, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
Obviously, Li Xian didn't mean to let Dumiao's son take risks, and looked at Zhang Cambodia and other ministers and said, "What do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
The practice of brainstorming fits his character very well, but unfortunately, it does not work well.
In a hurry, there were no eye-catching suggestions, and gradually, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Ran again.
The pressure is so high, it is easy to go bald.
Li Ran touched his hair, and for the first time felt that it was not a good thing to show his edge, so he turned everyone's eyes back, and said in a muffled voice, "Wen Death Admonition, Martial Death Battle, can you give some strength?" ”
Of course, complaining is complaining, the old man finally climbed the country, and he went down before his ass sat firmly, how miserable it was.
"What Brother Chongrun said makes sense, the central forbidden army does not move, and it will protect the safety of the hinterland of the capital, which will also have a deterrent effect on those who are not subordinate from all directions."
This suggestion was basically mentioned by the ministers, and he made a decision, and naturally passed it unanimously.
The challenge is how to resolve potential troubles without using force...... The first is the big nail of Wu Sansi.
"Hedong is an important place in the Tang Dynasty, some people have money and food, it is not advisable to delay it for a long time, it should be a quick battle, and we have to prevent Wu Sansi from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and use the people of Hedong as bargaining chips to play with us."
"That's right, Wu Sansi does things by unscrupulous means, if there is a trend of decline, the people will definitely be caught in the wind to resist us, and the lives will be ruined, which is definitely not the best policy."
Zhang Cambodia's old man can't do things, but it's good to talk about it, so he immediately responded.
Li Xian nodded slightly, what he wanted was a prosperous and wealthy Hedong Province, not a decaying territory.
“…… So, let's still use the old routine, attack the heart! ”
The easy-to-use method is not outdated, and the printing equipment worth 80,000 is never idle, and it can be used to the fullest.
"First send leaflets to Wu Sansi's fiefdom, saying that as long as you don't resist and are loyal to the emperor, you can pardon the crime of rebellion, follow Wu Sansi, a dead end, cause panic among the people and the rebels' military morale floats, and Brother Chongrun will crusade by force again, and the obstacles encountered will be much smaller."
"Of course, take eight thousand people, I don't agree."
The ministers nodded their heads, thinking that his arrangement was very reasonable, and the difference in numbers was too great to have any chance of winning.
“…… It's too much, you have to cut it in half. ”
However, in the next second, they understood what it was called a sao operation, and said that this immortal master had made a mistake?
No, Li Ran stretched out four fingers, "I can only bring four thousand people, and the rest of the people have to continue to stabilize the situation in the capital, Yu Linwei, who is guarding the capital, has been infiltrated too much by Wu Sansi, and it is dangerous to hand over the security defense of the palace to them, and before thoroughly understanding the position of the junior officers, temporarily deprive Yu Linwei of his garrison duties." ”
Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, in case Wu Sansi left some hidden stakes when he left, it is not impossible to carry out an assassination in the palace or something.
"Immortal Master, this ...... I'm afraid there's something wrong. ”
Zhang Cambodia's face was speechless, and he always felt that Li Ran was watching his brother-in-law die.
"Well, four thousand is four thousand." , Of course, Li Chongrun didn't have the slightest suspicion, and readily agreed.
Everyone was messy in the wind again, these two teenagers, how wonderful.
"Well, there are only four thousand people, but the equipment is enough for you...... I'll give you twenty Shenwu cannons! ”
The Shenwu cannon is the thing that Li Ran made up during the siege of the city, and the craftsmanship level is equivalent to the Shenwu cannon in the Qing Dynasty, and there is no shame in directly plagiarizing the name.
And the black fuel used for the cannonballs is more powerful, and it is much more powerful to attack the city than a ladder trebuchet, and the two cannons go down, and the slightly thinner city wall is directly penetrated, which is a dimensionality reduction blow to the morale of the defenders.
"Two, twenty?"
Li Chongrun naturally knew the power of this cannon, and was instantly dumbfounded.
"Well, twenty guns, and enough shells."
Li Ran smiled, unlike the depletion of resources caused by the rush to attack the city a few days ago, now he can dispatch resources from all over the Quartet, and it is not a problem to get some chemical raw materials or something.
"Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter, give me ten days, and you will go on the road again."
The two high-fived, and in a few words, the plan to beg the thief was set, and the ministers were dumbfounded, why did they feel a little child's play?
"As for the enemies who are ready to move in all directions, let's take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, order the border troops everywhere to strengthen the garrison, and on the other hand, send envoys to send them documents, just say that the Tang Dynasty wants them to come to pay tribute at the end of the year, if they don't come, don't blame us for being polite."
There was silence in the hall, there were too many operations, and the ministers were already numb with surprise.
It's easy to understand what to strengthen armaments, but what kind of strategy is this to ask the Hu people to go to Beijing to pay tribute? At the moment, the Quartet is about to move, if they raise troops at the same time, it will be extremely unfavorable to Datang, shouldn't they appease their emotions and delay until after they have exterminated Wu Sansi and then slowly try to figure it out?
"Ran'er, you tell me carefully."
Li Xian also looked confused and begged for an explanation.
"It's very simple, we can't show weakness now!"
On the importance of reverse thinking, Li Ran has a completely different view from the indigenous people of the Tang Dynasty for the Hu people.
It is clear from the history books for thousands of years that Huairou is of no use to their farts, only the big fist is the truth.
"If we show weakness, there will be chaos around us, let's show our muscles, these barbarians will scruples!"
The conclusion was incredible, and the crowd shook their heads one after another, and the voices of rebuttal were endless.
“…… Guys, why don't we make a bet? ”
Li Ran looked around at everyone and suddenly smiled.
The discussion stopped abruptly, and Zhang Cambodia even trembled inexplicably, obviously, the word bet reminded him of the embarrassed appearance when he was deflated under Li Ran several times.
"I bet that these barbarians will definitely accept the paperwork and come to the capital at the end of the year to pay tribute!"
No one answered, and the ministers looked at each other, each of them curling their necks.
I can't afford to gamble, and I can't afford to lose...... Anyway, this young man dares to take the blame, just according to him, the strategy of the Tang Immortal Master seems to have never been missed.
"Okay, just do what Ran'er wants!"
Li Xian's mind was hot, and he accepted it all, and as soon as Chrysostom opened, there was no objection.
This old man really dares to play tickets...... Li Ran touched his nose, and while he was moved, the corners of his mouth twitched silently.
In fact, he took it for granted that if the masses objected to it, he would immediately give up the gambling game neatly.
But now that the chips have been placed, let's do it.
