Chapter 396

So the owner of the post house gathered all the shopkeepers, bookkeepers, cooks, and even the stables who were responsible for feeding the horses together before Liu Benli came. Then he made a detailed deployment to them about what everyone should do after Liu Benli came, yes, this post house is the largest intelligence stronghold set up by the night owl in Chang'an City.

Li Yun killed Liu Benli, and then fled in a hurry. But what was left to the innkeeper was a mess. Tang Feng continued to come to the door almost every day to inquire and do some investigations, which made the innkeeper always have a sigh of relief in his heart. I am afraid that these Tang Feng will find out those key pieces of evidence that have nothing to do with the case, but are enough to send him to prison and even lose his life.

But fortunately, Tang Feng's attention was attracted by that room at that time, so he didn't pay too much attention to other things. So he also pressed down his own somewhat uneasy heart, and at the same time spoke out to appease all the night owl personnel in the intelligence base, and they carried out their daily work here day after day, and then waited until the limelight completely passed.

But the owner of the post house never expected that after Liu Benli had been in the limelight for a while, what followed was that Li Yuan sent troops to directly support Xue Ju by force to jointly fight against Li Wenyuan. This is a, very important intelligence for them. So the innkeeper tried his best to get this information into his hands. Even the true number of the millions led by Li Shimin can be investigated, and this information is so detailed that it almost almost investigates the color of the underwear of every general.

However, due to the special situation of the current situation, the soldiers guarding the city gate investigated the pedestrians entering and leaving Chang'an City very closely, and in this case, the danger of carrying information out of the city and sending it to the Western Regions by manpower is too high. According to the principles of the Night Stalkers, this risk is enough to make them abandon this decision. So, the innkeeper streamlined and streamlined this information, and then abbreviated it into a short note. Then a thin white rope was tightly tied to the pigeon's leg, and then the pigeon was released, so that it could fly out of Chang'an City under the cover of night.

Li Wenyuan, who got this news, was also really surprised for a long time, he did know that Li Yuan and Xue Ju on the other side had just reached an alliance agreement, which was news known to the whole world. What's more, Li Wenyuan, who is extremely well-informed? However, Li Wenyuan also knows that in troubled times, any agreement is not as valuable as a piece of butt wiping paper. So he didn't pay attention to this matter, and Chen Bing's Xue Ju army on the other side of the border line did not make any drastic moves, so this made Li Wenyuan mistakenly think that Xue Ju pulled Li Yuan to form an alliance was really simple just to reduce the pressure on himself in the rear, so that he could gather as many troops as possible to fight against him.

But what Li Wenyuan didn't expect was that the agreement between Xue Ju and Li Yuan actually talked about the extent to which Li Yuan directly sent troops to help Xue Ju. In Li Wenyuan's prediction in advance, Li Yuan should only do those things that fan the flames and instruct others to be cannon fodder, while he himself is watching from the wall and watching the fire from the other side. Why did Li Yuan start to throw the army in his hands into these cannon fodder this time? Moreover, according to the intelligence, coupled with the news obtained by the night owls outside Chang'an City from spying on the marching troops along the way, these 200,000 Tang troops can also be called all the elite troops in Li Yuan's hands.

Among the 200,000 Tang troops, almost all of them were government soldiers provided by the Guanlong nobles, and the remaining ones, even if they had nothing to do with the Guanlong nobles, were all selected by the elites of their respective armies. From this point of view, Li Yuan is really ready to fight with himself this time. But on the other hand, if he can find a way to swallow all of Li Yuan's 200,000 elites, then in the future, wouldn't it be easy for him to destroy the chassis of Li Yuan's forces?

The more Li Wenyuan thought about the light in his eyes, the moon, and then he was angry. Now the Western Turks, provoked by some small means of their own, are caught in an internal struggle for the power of the Khan, and they will not want to stabilize for at least a year or two. As for the northeastern part of the Sassanid Empire, due to the presence of the Roman rebels, they were even more troubled, and in addition to these two heads, even if some of the remaining nomads occasionally launched attacks on the newly conquered Central Asian regions, they could not take advantage of the treasure chest regiments in each region, let alone the county capitals with heavy troops.

Therefore, after learning that the Tang army had 200,000 troops marching to his side, Li Wenyuan very decisively ordered Xue Renyue to take over the government and military affairs in Central Asia. As for the troops left for defense in each area, the rest was led by Zhang Jun, who also led the march to the Eastern Front. At the same time, the recruitment points and exercise grounds in various regions, which had been dormant for a long time, became lively again. Even Li Yuan knew that he wanted to smear his opponent as much as possible before the war, so Li Wenyuan, who came from the era of the information explosion after the post-war explosion, if he didn't understand this principle. That's a bit of a shame.

Therefore, under the propaganda of Li Wenyuan's more efficient propaganda organization, although Li Yuan was not excessively demonized, he turned the purpose of this trip to eliminate himself into sending troops to conquer the territory of the Western Regions, and then to take away all kinds of benefits and rights that Li Wenyuan promised and had been sent to these people.

If it's just a change of emperor on the top of the head, the Chinese people have always been indifferent to this, and even often joke that the emperor takes turns to come to my house today. But once the outsiders not only wanted to conquer the land, but also take away the cake that had been allocated to them from their hands, it was enough to stimulate the fierce blood in the bones of the Chinese people who had been dormant for a long time, and Li Wenyuan was based on this, and then incited the people under his rule to fight against the invasion of Li Yuan and Xue Ju with hatred and hatred. The recruitment flags erected everywhere soon raised 140,000 troops again in a very short period of time, of course, these 140,000 troops were still new recruits, and they still needed to undergo systematic training, and then they were randomly distributed to various armies.

After such a long period of development, Li Wenyuan's army has a total of more than 600,000 troops, and they are neatly equipped, and all of them are elite.
