Luo Zhaoyun discussed the route of sending troops, and finally decided to let Xue Wanqian and Ning Wufei lead two thousand elites, who are good at mountain climbing, hunting, and jungle trackers, to combine them to bypass the Pipa Gorge, turn over to the back of the Tulou Mountain Defense Ridge, attack at night, and take the defense line of the Chongshan Mountains, which can reduce the casualties of the Sui army in the northwest.

"This matter is very important, I hope that the two of you can wait for the wolf smoke signal in ten days, take down the mountain defense line, and then give us a clear indication of lighting the mountain."

"Please rest assured, we will complete the task." Xue Wancheng is also a fierce general, fearless, patting his chest to promise.

Ning Wufei has been stationed in the border garrison for several years, and the terrain and climate of the northwestern counties are quite familiar, plus some local hunters are selected to lead the way, and he can accurately find the route through the mountains.

"Your operation is highly secret, you set off at night, hide people's eyes and ears, avoid farmers and people on the way, and you need to dress up in disguise."

"Understood." Xue Wanqian nodded, understanding the particularity of leading troops this time.

Luo Zhaoyun arranged the curious soldiers, and the next goal was how to deal with Linqiang City.

It is estimated that Li Liang, the Xiliang regime, will definitely shrink the stragglers on the border after learning that he has sent troops, gather in Linqiang City, rely on the fortification of the city to defend, and consume the opponent's troops.

Luo Zhaoyun said to Cheng Mingzhen: "Transfer five hundred people to you, after disguise, enter Linqiang City in batches, go there to find some footholds for our side, and then wait for the signal of our army to attack the city. ”

Cheng Mingzhen was also very happy to hear that he had an important task, this is a signal to continue to accept himself into the inner circle, he wants to give me the opportunity, continue to make meritorious contributions, and be more and more important.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "The army is scheduled to set off in two days, give you two people, a certain amount of time to act, within half a month, strive to drive the Li Rail regime out of Xiping County, put pressure on Xue Ju, and let him go to compete with Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang." ”

After the meeting, Luo Zhaoyun waved his hand and asked the generals to go back to prepare.

………

A month after Li Yuan raised his army in Jinyang, he sent Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin as the vanguard and deputy commanders, and himself as the commander of the Chinese army, leading a total of 100,000 troops to march towards Daxing City.

He has been an official for so many years, and he is a nobleman of Guanlong, a family of ministers for many generations, and knows the importance of Daxing City, its location is the feng shui treasure of the land of Qinchuan in Guanlong, when Qin's Xianyang and Han's Chang'an are all the land of Longxing, the last capital of the unified world, and the national fortune.

Daxing City was built in Emperor Wen of Sui, because the old Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty was damaged, the streets were in disrepair, the scale was relatively too small, and the well-being was re-selected, and the Daxing City was established not far from the old Chang'an, which was many times larger than the old Chang'an City, and the atmosphere was magnificent, echoing the identity of the Son of Heaven.

Li Yuan had already thought clearly, as long as he took Daxing City, he could change the name to New Chang'an City and start his own dynasty hegemony.

However, before that, he still had great concerns, because Liu Wuzhou colluded with the Turkic cavalry in the north to attack Yanmen Pass, and was about to occupy Yanmen County, threatening the safety of Taiyuan.

In the east, there are the armies of Li Mi and Dou Jiande, occupying Hebei and Henan, and the forces in various places are not weaker than his Jinyang forces.

Now is a race against time to seize the opportunity, whoever gets the big advantage first is to grab the luck, and hopefully have the last laugh.

Pei Lin said: "Tang Gong, at present, Li Mi has besieged the Tiger Prison Pass, it seems that there is a great chance of taking it, once Li Mi passes the Tiger Prison, take Luoyang first, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it will be a great constraint on us, even if we take the acting king Yang Yu, but they have a higher status Yang Tong, plus many family members of the ministers in Luoyang City, and the surname Li, it will cause a great diversion to the luck of Tang Gong." ”

Li Yuan sighed: "This is also what I am worried about, he is Li Valve, I am also Li Valve, I have to take that move, there is indeed a lot of competition, and Li Mi this person, Wen Tao Wu is more than ordinary people, at noon gathered a large number of wise and intelligent strategists, brave and good at fighting tiger generals, full of talents, more famous than our side, at present, I am worried, if he fancy my move, send an elite army, bypass Luoyang, attack us from the side to cross the river, close to Daxing City, so that our army has the Sui army in front, and Li Mi's army on the side, It will trap us in the outskirts of Qinchuan, and we will not be able to approach Daxing City. ”

"Tang Gong, I have a plan, maybe I can eliminate the hidden dangers in this regard."

"What's the strategy?" Li Yuan asked.

Pei Lin smiled mysteriously and said: "The plan to kill, Li Mi is indeed talented and knows how to use soldiers, but he also has shortcomings, that is, he has never been a big official in the court, once he sits in a high position, he will definitely become more and more arrogant, self-sustaining and powerful, and he has the ambition of the four seas, but there is no one in his eyes." As long as the Duke of Tang repaired a letter, nominally elected him as the leader of the alliance of the world, jointly confronted the army of the Sui Dynasty, paralyzed and slack, and temporarily let go of the idea of westward expansion, and when the Duke of Tang occupied Daxing City, he could grasp the initiative and win. ”

Li Yuan stroked his beard, his eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile: "Well, this plan is feasible, I can repair a book, hold a Li Mi, take him as the leader of the alliance, make his mind in Luoyang City, and when the time comes, when he takes Luoyang, we have gained a firm foothold in Guanzhong, using the terrain here, Hangu Pass Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack, follow the steps of the Qin State to unify the world, and attack horizontally, swallowing the princes of various places little by little." ”

"That's exactly what it means!"

Li Yuan asked the candidate: "Who is the most suitable person to send to deliver the letter?" ”

Pei Lin recommended: "Liu Chongli can speak well, like a spring tongue, and is the most suitable for lobbying Li Mi." ”

Li Yuan nodded, and sent someone out overnight to summon Liu Chongli in the barracks, and called him to the handsome tent to discuss the matter.

Liu Chongli knew the importance of this matter, since he asked him to come over to discuss by name, it was to take a fancy to his eloquence, and it could be regarded as a special mission.
