Li Jing said some suggestions, which do not lose a strategic direction, but how to implement them requires the formulation of detailed countermeasures in light of the enemy's march.

Luo Zhaoyun discussed with the generals for a while, and preliminarily drew up two lines of defense, focusing on the north of Qishan and the area of Yixian as the defensive location, so that Hu'er and Hou Jun gathered troops to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty, while Luo Zhaoyun, Li Jing, Chen Qi and others sat in the north of Qishan, facing the Liang army and the Turkic army in the south of Beidi County.

This line of defense is the most difficult to defend, and it is also the key to a decisive victory, to break the allies, you must first start with the Liang State and the Turks, their fighting spirit is far less than the feeling of life and death of the Tang Dynasty, so once it is hit hard, it must flee, and the Tang Dynasty has no way to retreat, behind it is Chang'an, so it must be defended.

Of the tripartite armies, the Tang Army is the most difficult to defeat and eliminate, because it has the heart of swearing to survive and will fight to defend it.

Among them, Liang is the weakest, because he has a short country, there was no reserve before, and he dispatched an army of seventy or eighty thousand, which seems to be a large number of people, but in fact, many soldiers and horses are new troops, there are teams that occupy the mountains as kings, and there are also people who can't survive, who are conscripted into the army, and they don't have to starve.

The Turkic cavalry is nearly 100,000, which seems to be powerful, but in fact, the fighting spirit is not strong, and they are more thinking about how to plunder the interests after entering the Central Plains.

After mastering these psychology, you can look for flaws and break them one by one.

After the meeting, the civil ministers and generals all went back to their respective accounts to rest, and Luo Zhaoyun left Li Jing and gave him special courtesy.

"General Li has made great contributions to guarding the border passes, opening up the Hexi Corridor, and promoting exchanges and trade between the Hu people and the northwest."

Li Jing arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, delegating power to Li Jing, making drastic moves, recruiting local soldiers, promoting land reform, and appeasing the Hu people, these measures will definitely not be possible without Your Majesty's strong support and trust." Moreover, the revitalization of the Hexi Corridor is also His Majesty's policy, such as the spring breeze blowing all over the wilderness, setting up small cities along the way, and the Belt and Road Initiative, making the economy prosperous, and the people living and working in peace and contentment, all exaggerating the good of Dahua. ”

Luo Zhaoyun smiled secretly in his heart, these are all things he saw from history books, combined with some insights of later generations and contemporary generations, blended together, simplified, pragmatic business, made the local market active, accelerated circulation, and naturally stimulated trade.

If they are all self-sufficient, then there will be no economy, there will be no exchange and integration, and business and trade will become empty talk, only to establish various factories and workshops, trade with the Hu people, and then buy what they need, sell their goods, and the state will collect taxes, and then subsidize the people, and give the workers money to start work, and the people will be richer, and they can buy goods from the government workshops if they have surplus money in their hands.

The dead water seems to be stirred alive by a pair of invisible hands, which is the dual regulation of the market and the imperial court, and it has begun to have a small effect.

The two exchanged words again, but the distance between them could not be narrowed.

Although Luo Zhaoyun intended to put down the shelf, Li Jing insisted on the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and did not dare to go beyond it, almost a little wooden.

In fact, this is Li Jing's wise self-preservation, as well as the loyal thinking of the ancients, although he could be called a brother and a brother in the past, but with the great change in Luo Cheng's identity and becoming the founding emperor, Li Jing still tries to avoid calling the emperor a brother and a brother, because the history is positive, and the friendship with the emperor is too deep, comparable to that of siblings, and often ends up miserable.

Li Jing was also worried that he would be too favored and provoke the criticism of the ministers, and when the time came, those who were hot-eyed would continue to slander and splash dirt in front of the king, accusing him of supporting the army and respecting himself, and after a long time, the king would become suspicious, and it would be inevitable that he would be killed at that time.

He understood His Majesty's trust and respect for him, but he still insisted on doing business and maintaining the boundaries of the past.

Luo Zhaoyun sighed in his heart, it was difficult for him and Li Jing to return to the friendship they had when they met in Daxing City. It was destined that the king would be in high places, and that he would have few friends and brothers.

"Regarding this plan to break the enemy, General Li should study it carefully and solve the danger of our Dahua."

Li Jing nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, when you first get this news, you can't figure it out for a while, and you need the support of intelligence from all sides, so that you can know yourself and the enemy, and make the right deployment, but the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the major affairs of the soldier country have always been like this, before the war, our army's food and grass, weapons, baggage, and recruit and transfer all need to be properly arranged, and the troops and materials can be replenished in time in order to fight a protracted war." ”

"Okay, I have taken these into account and sent someone to draft an order to recruit troops again in the fifteen counties of Dahua for the Eastern Expeditionary Army; At the same time, some soldiers and horses were transferred from Hexi and Longyou, temporarily gathering 200,000, and follow-up recruits will be sent in a steady stream every month, and they are not afraid of fierce battles. Luo Zhaoyun has already started to do these things.

Li Jing pondered, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, we are too passive to defend alone, if we want to retreat from the enemy, we must let the Liang State and the Turkic rear catch fire, if the base camp of the Liang State is quickly attacked, I am afraid that the Liang Division will not be so calm, once the army is withdrawn, one will eliminate the other, and my Dahua will be able to counter the allied forces." ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, he also had this aspect in mind, but when attacking Liang State, he couldn't draw too many troops, and many soldiers were fast and used like gods, so they could be resolute and sweep all the way.

Li Jing said: "The minister is willing to take a small number of soldiers and horses to fight into the hinterland of Liang and besiege the Jingshi of Liang's capital, so as to use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, forcing the Liang army on the front line to retreat, and then ambush their reinforcements." When the time comes, if the Turkic rear route is cut off again and they are uneasy, the offensive will weaken, and it will also be an opportunity for us to counterattack. ”

Luo Zhaoyun saw that Li Jing was so determined, and felt that the method was feasible, and he was not at ease if he was to change to other generals, if Li Jing led the troops to go, it would be foolproof, if he brought some black powder, it would be easy to achieve it when the time came, and it would be easy to penetrate into the hinterland of Liang and threaten the Beijing Division, at that time the Liang Division would inevitably panic, and the Tang Dynasty was far away, but it was not yet possible to know its power, and when the time came, it would still have a miraculous effect to deal with the Tang Army.
