After reading the latest military newspaper that Li Anmin brought over, Li Ze couldn't help laughing out loud. Compared with Li Ze, Li Anmin's face is not so good-looking, and it can even be said to be a little ugly.

Liu Ruyan was played by Liu Xinda and Xiang Zhen in Eyue.

This made Liu Ruyan angry, but it was too late for her to understand, Ezhou City was nominally taken by the Tang Army, but it naturally became the territory controlled by the Lingnan Army.

At the end of July, the Lingnan army under the command of Xiang Zhen was ordered by Liu Ruyan to attack Ezhou City from the southeast, and after a day of fighting, Liu Xinda opened the city gate and surrendered that night, and Xiang Zhen's Lingnan Army immediately drove into Ezhou City.

"That's it, you can still laugh?" Li Anmin angrily pulled a brocade stool and sat opposite Li Ze, glanced at the only two of them in the room plus Chen Wenliang, and said in a low voice: "This time your daughter-in-law can be regarded as a big loss." I'm afraid that it will become the laughing stock of other generals. ”

"Ruyan has always been above the top, and this time it has been calculated, but it can also give her a long insight." Li Ze stopped laughing, shook his head and said, "Uncle, it's okay." ”

"Why can't you get in the way?" Li Anmin knocked on the table with some annoyance: "How important is the geographical location of the Eyue region, is it possible that you don't understand?" Now that the Lingnan army has been inserted and occupied the most critical Ezhou City, what a lot of variables this has added to the future! You see, you see, just because of Ezhou City, our Jingnan, Xiangyang, Yueyang and other places have been completely cut off from the direction of Huainan. ”

"The Lingnan people did come in with a wedge. Tactically speaking, this time they were really smart, and it was a good move, which made us suffer a loss. However, in the end, it depends on whether the wedge is made of wood or steel, and if the wedge is not hard enough, it will not be given in vain in the end? Li Ze said disapprerovingly.

"That's what I said, but it's a lot more difficult for us." Li Anmin said: "And from this incident, we can see that the Lingnan people and the pseudo-Liang are obviously in collusion. Otherwise, Liu Xinda would not have surrendered to Xiang Zhizhen so readily. ”

"Of course there is collusion." Li Ze nodded and said: "It's not just the collusion between the two of them, in fact, you have to count Zhang Zhongwu, and you also have to count Zhu Youqi in Shu, they are all looking forward to my life!" And uncle, you may not know that these people also went to Tubo to hook up, but the Tubo people are really muddy Bodhisattvas crossing the river now, and they can't protect themselves, and they can't take care of domestic affairs, so they didn't take care of them! Now in this world, an anti-Li Ze alliance has really been formed. ”

"And you're still so relaxed?" Li Anmin looked at the other party with some complaints: "Do you know that this time we are fighting on several sides, but if one side loses the battle, the overall situation may collapse." ”

"As long as I don't die, it won't hurt much!" Li Ze said confidently.

"Since you know this joint, can't your opponent think of it?" Li Anmin knocked on the table, "A few days ago, you were still running around with a light car?" ”

"Uncle, don't worry, this is Wuyi." Li Ze said with a smile: "Everything is under control, my uncle is in the military department, and now he can fully adapt to it?" ”

"I'm also a veteran, and these errands are nothing." Li Anmin said: "I'm just a little worried about the current situation, the northeast is already full of mountains and rains, and Ezhou has this kind of thing again, and the land of the two Zhejiang provinces is at the beginning of peace, but most of the soldiers and horses followed Ruyan to Eyue, and Fujian Ronghong has been eyeing it." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, just deploy all the supplies with peace of mind to ensure that the supply of front-line military supplies is sufficient." Li Zedao.

"If only you had a good idea." Li Anmin nodded, turned around and left Li Ze's public house.

As soon as Li Anmin left, Gongsun Changming followed suit.

"Sir must have heard of that, right?" Li Ze smiled and said to Gongsun Changming.

Gongsun Changming pouted and said: "Xiang Xun is really a little family, he can only engage in these sneaky things, and treat him as a person who does not do big things." It's your daughter-in-law, this time I am impressed! ”

"After eating such a big loss, with Qiao'er's fierce temperament, I'm afraid that I will vomit blood in anger, and you still look at him very highly? If you say this to her face, maybe she'll kick you. Li Ze said with a smile.

Gongsun Changming smiled: "Li Xiang, do you know what your daughter-in-law was going to do when Xiang Zhen colluded with Liu Xinda?" She is building a dam to store water, digging a river embankment, and preparing to flood the city of Ezhou. ”

Li Ze was stunned.

"It's not mentioned in these military newspapers, why is there no news from the internal guard?"

Looking at Li Ze's somewhat annoyed expression, Gongsun Changming spread his hands: "If it is replaced by someone else, the internal guard will naturally deliver the news in time, but who let it be your daughter-in-law?" Listening to Tian Bo, Liu Shaoye on which side was threatened by your daughter-in-law, and he didn't dare to say it, that is, after the fact, he reported it. Of course, Tian Bo also punished Liu Shaoye and demoted him to one level. ”

"Digging rivers and destroying embankments, changing river channels, such things are done, but they really don't know how thick the sky is. In such a flood season, once the river is diverted, who can afford the consequences! Li Ze said angrily: "Qiao'er is really bold, such consequences can she control?" ”

So after she suffered such a loss, although she was furious, she finally restrained herself. Yang Mi and Gong Yunda suggested that she release the water directly and drown Xiang Zhen and Liu Xinda in Ezhou City. Gongsun Changming said with a smile.

Li Ze shook his head: "Xiang Zhen's entry into Ezhou is just a disease of scabies, and it will take a lot of effort to do it next, but if you really let Dajiang change his course, that is really troublesome." As Mr. Gongsun said, Xiang Xun is still a small family, far less decisive than Zhang Zhongwu. ”

"That being said, now that Xiang Xun has more chips in his hand than Zhang Zhongwu, it will also cause us more trouble." Gongsun Changming said.

Li Ze smiled: "These chips are not a cause for concern in Xiang Xun's hands, if Zhang Zhongwu has these chips, it will be even more troublesome." ”

"Xiang Xun obviously knows that the strength of their families is far inferior to ours, but he is still making small calculations. If I were him, the best thing to do now would be to immediately raise the anti-flag, launch a major attack on us, and form a temporary alliance with Zhang Zhongwu and Zhu Youzhen. Now that our army is all gathered in the Central Plains, if Xiang Xun really does this, we will really be in a hurry. It's a pity that this person thinks too much. actually wants to use Zhu Youzhen and Zhang Zhongwu to wear down our strength, so that he can follow behind and pick up ready-made bargains. Oops, it's really bad to think too much. He didn't want to think about it, after we really defeated Zhang Zhongwu and Zhu Youzhen, what kind of climate he could achieve by himself, when the time came, it was just that the strong man would become stronger. ”

Li Ze laughed: "When I defeat these two strong enemies, even if there will be some losses in the military, it will inevitably return to the heart of the world, and it will be easy to restore strength at this time." What's more, with the strength of the current imperial court and so many years of painstaking preparation, how much can I lose by defeating these two enemies? In the end, those who want to exchange the interests of others for their own interests will lose badly. ”

"Since Xiang Xun gave us the time to calmly clean up Zhu Youzhen, we can't waste this time window in vain, don't let this guy suddenly figure it out." Gongsun Changming said.

"He wants to cut corners." Li Ze shook his head and said, "But in the world, there is no shortcut." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they both laughed.

In Ezhou, Liu Ruyan has completely returned to calm.

At the moment, everything is based on attacking the pseudo-beam as the main task, and other things can be temporarily retreated. The main force of the right Qianniuwei will also advance from the Eyue area to the direction of the Zhongwu Army, and attack the Zhongwu Army on both sides with You Yong's Left Xiaowei.

Of course, the Eyue region will not be given to the Lingnan Army in vain.

Yueyang Qian Biao's department still controlled most of the area of Eyue, and although Liu Ruyan led the main force of the Right Qianniu Guard to leave, he still left two troops as a containment. One is the left army of the Right Qianniu Wei led by Li Kang, stationed in Yingcheng, and the other is the sailor led by Li Hao.

"Qian Observer, next you have to stare at the Lingnan Army." Liu Ruyan said: "But don't take the initiative to cause trouble and stir up trouble." We should take the existing areas under actual control as the boundary line, actively restore people's livelihood, and at the same time strengthen armaments for warfare. ”

"Understood." Qian Biao nodded, among all of them, he is the most angry one, Ezhou City is the birthplace of his Qian family, and it is also the place where his family suffered, originally he thought that he could return to Ezhou City this time, and worship his ancestors as a child of the Qian family, in order to comfort the ancestors and relatives in the spirit of the sky, but he didn't expect that at the end, he actually let Xiang Zhen pick up a big bargain. It's not that he can't go in now, but entering Ezhou City like this is completely different from returning to Ezhou City in the scenery he imagined.

Rather than that, it's better to leave it for later.

"When the army takes Chang'an and destroys the pseudo-Liang, we can do it, right?" Qian Biao's eyes showed a fierce light.

"Let's talk about it then!" Liu Ruyan smiled. "Li Hao, your navy, you must do a good job of connecting our troops stationed in Huainan, Eyue, Yueyang, Jingnan and other places, and at the same time, you must also closely monitor the movements of the Lingnan Army, no matter when, if there is any change in the Lingnan Army, you can act cheaply."

Li Hao nodded and took the order.

"Envoy Qian, General Zheng, and Li Kang, if the situation changes, all of them will be temporarily under the command of Li Hao, so that the power of affairs will be unified, and there will be no major problems due to problems in command and coordination."
