"Two generals, please see." After that, Xue Wanchun got up and came to the large topographic map behind him, pointed to the area north of Jinyang and drew a circle, and then said: "According to General Pei Sima's order, we will occupy the vast land in this circle when we send troops, there are not many Tang troops here, and it is also the weak point of Li Yuan's defense. ”

"General Xue, there are 5 big cities in your circle! How do the three of us divide our troops to get it? Master Shang also walked to the front of the picture, pointed to several cities in the picture, and asked.

"Huh! Dingxiang City is the farthest border with the Turks, so there is no need to take it, and after I took Lou Fu, Ma Yi and Yulin, Dingxiang will be surrendered. How about only one city for each of these three cities? Xue Wanchun proposed with a slight drunkenness, not taking the three northern counties in Li Yuan's hands in his eyes at all.

"Good! The three of us will each go and take a city, and see who gets it first? Xin Wenli was excited by Xue Wanchun's proposal, and hurriedly responded.

"It's good, but how do you get it?"

"General Shang asked well, why don't you and I twist lots? How about following the will of God? ”

"Huh! Okay, twist lots! ”

Soon, the junior colonel of the Chinese army brought a tray with three earthen bowls on the plate.

"The two generals are guests from afar, but you can choose a bowl and open it to see, there is a city name written under the bowl, choose the one and go to take that one, how about it?"

"Good! Let's choose first. Xin Wenli said as he lifted his cuffs and stepped forward to open a bowl, and saw a note under the bowl, on which the word "Ma Yi" was written.

"The new general is lucky, this nearest city will be yours to fight, General Shang, please ---"

Master Shang and apprentice groaned slightly, stepped forward and lifted a bowl, and looked at it, it turned out that all the people selected were Yulin City, which was far away. I couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Although there is no choice, only a certain person will go to take Lou Fu City, but I still have to let the two generals see it clearly." After that, he opened the last earthen bowl casually, and sure enough, the note below read the word "Lou Annoying".

"Good! Since the division of labor has been made, we will prepare tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you and I will divide our troops to fight, although you and I have a clear division of labor, but we also need to keep in touch, and we should inform each other after the city is conquered. This last big city, Xinzhou, will be attacked by the three of us, Xinzhou is close to Jinyang City, and if you take it, you can threaten Jinyang, so it is the most important thing for us to take Xinzhou. ”

"Subordinates obey." Master Shang and the second general of Xin Wenli replied.

When Xue Wanchun was deploying to attack the northern part of Jinyang, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang in Jinyang City, was completely knocked down by a shocking news.

"What you said about the three cities of western Jin fell into the hands of the Jin army, is it true?" Li Yuan, who woke up after a short coma, trembled and asked Tang Jian again, still unable to believe what he had heard before.

"Lord, the three cities of western Jin have been attacked by Wu Tianxi's army of the Jin army. Xu Maogong, who was originally guarding the west of Jin, could not wait for a single soldier, and all of them surrendered the Jin army without sending an arrow. The 500,000 stone of grain sent by the military department also fell into the hands of the enemy, and this news was reported by the captain who escaped by luck. Please ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible. Tang Jian replied again.

"Ahh There are 100,000 horses allocated by Li Jing in the three cities of western Jin! Wouldn't it be all over again? The Xu thief is really hateful, and his father treats him well, so he dares to defect to the battle? Li Yuan was panting with anger, his eyes were spewing fire, and his heart was unsettled.

"Tang Gong, the three cities of western Jin have been lost, so Li Jinghetao's troops will be left alone, and they will not be able to return to Jinyang. And my Jinyang soldiers can't recapture the west of Jin, and now Jinyang is surrounded by the Jin army, and the situation is very bad! Pei Lin stepped forward and said.

"General Hongji, how many troops do I have available in Jinyang?" Li Yuan forced his composure and looked at Liu Hongji, the general of Jinyang, and asked.

"Lord, I still have 250,000 soldiers in Jinyang, including 60,000 in Fenyang City, 40,000 in Xinzhou, 30,000 in Wenshui, 80,000 defenders in Jinyang City, and a total of about 40,000 in other counties."

"Can General Hongji recapture the three cities of Jinxi?" Li Yuan looked at Liu Hongji with expectant eyes and asked.

"Lord, if Xu Maogong rebels alone, the last general thinks that there is still a chance to quell the rebellion, but there are 150,000 troops from Wu Tianxi's department there, plus the rebel soldiers, there should be as many as 200,000. In this way, the last general has insufficient troops in his hands, and there is nothing he can do. Liu Hongji said and lowered his head in pain.

After Li Yuan heard this, he felt dizzy again, his body shook a few times, and the eunuch behind him hurriedly reached out to support him so as not to fall again, and then placed Li Yuan on the seat. I saw Li Yuan sitting in the chair with his eyes slightly closed, and he kept breathing. There was a trace of remorse in my heart, regretting that I shouldn't have been hot-headed and sent troops to provoke Yang Guang, the ruthless king of Jin, at the behest of Yang Yong, and regretting that I shouldn't have accepted Xu Maogong's disloyal and unrighteous people in the rivers and lakes. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered a person, his eyes lit up and he asked everyone urgently: "Chai Sichang, where is Chai Shao?" ”

"Lord, I heard from the soldiers who fled back that Sichang has been detained in Pingyi City by Xu Maogong, and his life and death are unknown."

"Huh? cough cough cough cough ---" Li Yuan listened to Tang Jian's words, his breath was suddenly chaotic, and he coughed violently, and after a while, he calmed down again, and said with a breath: "Maoyue, send someone to Pingyi to meet Xu Ji, and let him see that he will return Heichang in front of the public, if there is still a little morality in the rivers and lakes, he will definitely be able to grant what the prince wants." ”

"Yes, my lord, the lower official will then arrange for a special person to ask for the return of the heir."

"Ahem---, you are not feeling well, please come back temporarily, keep your duties, and don't slack off." After speaking, Li Yuan slowly got up and walked to the back hall with the support of his attendants.

After Li Yuan left, the officials in the palace turned around and wanted to come out. At this time, a lieutenant rushed into the outside of the mansion, and seeing that the government discussion was over, all the officials walked out, and hurriedly asked Dou Wei, who was approaching, and shouted: "Ah Gong, where is the lord?" The lower officials have something important to tell them. ”

"The lord is not in good health, and he has returned to the back hall to rest. Why is Dou Hong so urgent? Dou Wei recognized this former lieutenant of the mansion, who was originally a junior of his Dou family, so he asked casually.

"Ah Gong, someone from Wenshui City came to report urgently, saying that the Jin army generals Hou Junji and Ding Yanping have surrounded Wenshui City and are attacking day and night, the enemy army is strong, and the lord wants to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Ah---" The officials who had not yet walked out of the palace gate all stood on the spot and couldn't move.

"Maoyo, General Hongji~, how is this good? The lord is weak, how can he withstand another blow? Dou Wei looked at Tang Jian and Liu Hongji, who were also stunned, and asked.

"Wenshui City must not be lost, we need to send reinforcements to rescue, I will tell the lord to know." Liu Hongji was anxious, and after speaking, he was going to the back hall to find Li Yuan.

"General Hongji is slow, wait for the old man to go and tell Tang Gong, you go and prepare 20,000 soldiers to stand by." Shangshu Pei Lin called Liu Hongji, who had a fiery personality, and said.

"Okay, so I went to transfer people and asked Pei Shangshu to go to the lord to ask for a token."

"Hmmm! Wait for the old man to give the order to your army. After Pei Lin finished speaking, he went straight to the back hall to see Li Yuan, and the officials in the palace turned around and left.

Chai Shao never returned, which also aroused Li Jing's suspicions, and he hurriedly crossed the river to find it, only to learn that the three cities in western Jin had turned back and Chai Shao was detained.

When he heard that the three cities in western Jin had been lost, Li Jing was so shocked that his face was like a blank sheet of paper, and he sat alone in the tent, unable to let go for a long time.

"Dashuai, you haven't eaten for a day, please use some! Don't break your body. A veteran of the Chinese army took the wine and food that was hot again and put it on the table in front of Li Jing and poured him wine.

"Hey--" Li Jing looked at the henchman in front of him and couldn't help but sigh softly. Reaching out and picking up the wine glass on the table, he said, "And call the herald to come in." ”

The old pawn nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the tent. Immediately, a person walked in from outside and asked, "Dashuai, what are your instructions?" ”

"Ride a fast horse to chase back General Yin Kaishan, and the order to capture Shuofang is canceled." Li Jing put down his chopsticks and ordered sharply.

"Order." After the herald said yes, he turned around and went out of the account, and almost collided with a general who was about to step in at the door of the military tent, and the colonel hurriedly apologized to him and left, and the general immediately walked into the tent.

"Oh! What happened to General Duan? Li Jing saw that the person who entered the account was Duan Zhixian, the deputy general who was personally assigned by Li Yuan to assist him in this expedition, and it can also be said that Li Yuan sent the army to monitor Li Jing. Li Jing didn't dare to offend, so he had to ask softly.

"Marshal, it is rumored in the army that the three cities in the west of Jin have been occupied by the Jin army, and our army's back road has been lost, and the current army is unstable, can you immediately cross east to attack the west of Jin and recapture the three cities?"

"Alas!" Li Jing sighed, drank the wine in his hand, and then said: "How could this commander not want to recapture the west of Jin, but the ferries on the other side were occupied by the Jin army, and our Tang army had tens of thousands of sheepskin rafts to cross the river. After speaking, Li Jing poured himself another glass of wine and drank it, as if he was drowning his sorrows with wine.

"Then wouldn't I wait for the 150,000 Tang Army to hang alone? How long can it last? Duan Zhixian asked anxiously in his heart.

"If you want to return to Jinyang, you can only cross the river from the north, bypass the Wuyuan area of Hebei, and go east through Yulin, then you have to return. But this trip is too long-term, and I am afraid that the lord will not be able to wait for us to return in Jinyang City. ”

"The marshal is saying that now Jinyang is being attacked by the Jin army in Hedong?"

"Humph! Yang Guang is not attacking Jinyang for a long time, what does it mean to attack me in Jinxi? It can be seen that Jinyang is facing the danger of being besieged, but our army is far away in this Hetao in the west of the river, and the circuit has been cut off, and it can't be saved! Li Jing snorted coldly and said, and then poured another glass of wine into his mouth.

"Huh? In this way, although the land of the loop is rich, it is not a place to stay for a long time. The last general thought that it was better to detour Wuyuan as soon as possible and return through Yulin County. ”

"Hmmm! Ben Shuai is about to march like this, and he will do it after General Yin Kaishan's army returns. "Slap" Li Jing stomped the wine glass in his hand on the board after speaking, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"In this case, the last general will go and prepare." Seeing that Li Jing was not in a good mood, Duan Zhixian withdrew from the military tent with interest.

Luoyang City Jin King Palace.

In the past few days, war reports from all sides have come one after another. Although the content of the battle reports is different, one thing is the same, that is, they are all good news. This made Yang Er's family feel like a spring breeze all day long, and he almost put the word "happy".

It's written on the face.

Although the weather was very hot and the war room in the front hall was stuffy, Yang Er was still in the war room and waiting for a group of civil and military officers to come over to discuss matters.

"Congratulations! The jade seal of the country returned to Zhao completely, Yang Yong was captured, Yang Su died, and now the princelings have been completely wiped out. Lu Zhaolin said with a smile when he entered the door.

"Congratulations to the lord----- Li Taizhi, Wang De, Wang Yi, Liu Xuan, Zheng Fengchi, Zheng Xu, Hua Gongyi, Xue Wanche and others also congratulated him.

"Huh! Rejoice with all the princesses, please sit down and speak when you are all here. Yang Er greeted everyone very casually.

"Lord, this is the Marquis of the Qianhu of Nanchen State of our Military Intelligence Department, who has been lurking in the enemy country for a long time, this time the official brought him to meet the lord, if the lord has anything to ask about Nanchen, you can ask him." Wang De introduced the lean young scribe behind him.

"Oh? It turned out to be Hou Qianhu! Then ask Hou Qianhu to tell this king about the recent situation of Nan Chen, right? Yang Er said with a smile.

"The lord, the lower official Hou Fang was sent by the commander of Liu, and he was secretly in the Chen State for more than a year, according to the observation of the lower officials, except for the capital Jiankang and a few other Linjiang cities in Nanchen, the rest of the places are all poor, and the coast and southwest are the land of Baiyue, and the Han and Yue do not interact with each other. The economy of the country mostly depends on exchanges with the states of the Central Plains. Fortunately, it is located in the south with less drought and more rain, which is suitable for rice cultivation. Empress Chen is a person who is absurd and unscrupulous, and rarely goes to the court to govern the country, and everything in the country is controlled by the minister of state, Kong Fan. Kong Fan is greedy by nature, has many protégés, controls the government and yamen at all levels, and forms a powerful force, and all officials in the court and China dare not speak. Recently, he was bewitched by Yang Su, and after getting the prince Yang Yong's gold, he said that he would take advantage of the war in the Central Plains to quietly send 100,000 troops to attack Yangcheng in Jianghuai Shanyang, intending to contain our army and force the capital. Fortunately, the heavens are not beautiful, since the Jiangdu sent troops, it has encountered heavy rain in the Jianghuai area, the rivers and lakes are swollen, and the speed of its march is extremely slow, and the sneak attack is obviously futile, and the 100,000 army is now in a dilemma. Hou Fang reported loudly, and everyone in the entire war hall could hear it clearly.

Yang Er listened and looked at the map on the front wall of the war hall and thought. After Hou Fang finished his report, he slowly turned around.

"Hou Qianhu, the territory of the Chen Kingdom is vast, and most of the counties are by the sea, can your subordinates be scattered to these counties?"

"Back to my lord, at present, the detailed work of my Nanchen Military Intelligence Department is basically distributed in Jiankang, Jiangzhou, Baling, Yuzhang, Changsha and other big cities, and the coastal and southeastern remote counties have no time to take care of it. The land of Baiyue is even more difficult to explore due to different languages and customs. ”

"Hmmm! Ladies and gentlemen, judging from the recent news reported from various places, the war and civil strife in the territory of our Great Sui north of the Yangtze River have gradually subsided, and the next thing this king has to do is to recuperate and develop national strength. If Nan Chen doesn't come to attack me, this king will not take the initiative to attack him. But in the end, this king wants to send troops to destroy the Chen State and restore the homeland of the Han Dynasty in China. Next, the personnel of your Chen State Military Intelligence Department need to be strengthened, and this king wants you to find out the basic situation of the counties and counties of Chen State. There are also people who can go deep into the land of Baiyue as much as possible, contact the barbarian tribes, and take the initiative to make friends, so that when the king sends troops to destroy Chen in the future, the Baiyue tribes will not be used by the queen of Chen. ”

"Yes, my lord. When the subordinates returned, they started to do it. ”

"By the way, Wang De, Taizhi and Wang Yi are three thousand households, and now Luoyang, Shandong, Jizhou and Zhuo County are all owned by this king, and your three military intelligence offices can select some backbone elites in a timely manner and adjust them to Nanchen to be managed by Hou Fang, he seems to be very short of manpower."
