When I returned to the barracks, it was already dusk.

The late autumn dusk was already cool, and even the dew was beginning to appear.

After Qin Tian came back, Cheng Yanjin ran over excitedly.

"Your kid's plan is really powerful, and now the rebels only have 4,000 soldiers and horses left, so they are not afraid at all."

Four thousand soldiers and horses are not much, but they are also a lot, and if they defend the city, they can defend it for a while, but for Qin Tian and them, the battle last night also gave them some time.

That great victory in the war will deter many vassal kings who are about to move, so that they will not dare to act rashly.

When they have time, they can have fun with Li Yiyu in Mengzhou City.

However, Qin Tian was not prepared to delay Li Yiyu for too long.

Winter is coming soon, the food problem of the people in the disaster area has not been completely solved, and they will soon face severe cold, if these problems cannot be solved as soon as possible, then even if Li Yiyu's rebels are destroyed, there will be more rebels, which is not what Qin Tian wants to see.

"What Lu Guogong said is extremely true, but the top priority is to send someone to send another letter to Li Luo, urging him to quickly lead his troops to support, attack us in front and back, and take Mengzhou City."

Cheng Biting Jin Zheng was excited, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he was stunned for a moment.

"You're not kidding, then Li Luo is obviously in a gang with the rebels, you let him attack Mengzhou City, what do you think?"

Regarding Qin Tian's words, Cheng Yanjin was a little skeptical of life.

Qin Tian shrugged: "Lu Guogong can rest assured, even if Li Luo is in a group with the rebels, now the rebels can't get up, they are just struggling to survive, if he wants to save his life, he will still choose to cooperate with us." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Tian smiled: "Moreover, now is not a good time to get rid of Li Luo, since this is the case, it is better to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and then use him." ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at Qin Tian and gradually understood the meaning of Qin Tian's words.

Now that Li Shimin has just ascended the throne, if he does something to Li Luo, the vassal king, I am afraid that other vassal kings will misunderstand and think that Li Shimin wants to cut the domain.

If the vassal king thought that Li Shimin was going to cut the domain, how could they, who were already ready to move, sit back and wait to be killed?

At that time, the entire Tang Dynasty is probably going to be in chaos.

Therefore, even if they knew that Li Luo had something to do with the rebels, they had to pretend not to know, and if Li Luoken sent troops, it would be easier for them to capture Mengzhou City.

Cheng Yanjin suddenly laughed, and then slapped Qin Tian on the shoulder: "It's still your kid who is smart, okay, just do what you say, send someone to send a letter to Li Luo, urging him to send troops to help quickly." ”

After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he quickly sent a messenger to Huaizhou City.

And before Li Luo's soldiers and horses arrived, they would not use troops against Mengzhou City for the time being, anyway, they had deterred the other vassal kings, and they now had time to wait and minimize the casualties.

----------------

There was an autumn rain in Huaizhou.

The autumn rain was falling, making the whole Huaizhou surprisingly cold.

Li Luo has been waiting for news in the palace, it is still a study, and the rain outside is like a painting, and the smoke and rain are hazy.

At this time, a spy hurriedly ran over: "Lord Wang, something is wrong. ”

Hearing this, Li Luo's expression condensed slightly, and he shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

"When Qin Tiandang came, he didn't transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the military camp at all, and set up an ambush in Fenglin, when Li Yiyu raided that night, the 5,000 soldiers and horses rushed back, and the killed Li Yiyu was defeated, and now Li Yiyu's soldiers and horses are only 4,000 ......."

The spy told him about the situation, and after Li Luo heard it, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then the whole person collapsed on the chair.

He thought that his plan was seamless, but he didn't expect that they were all calculated by Qin Tian, and what made him even more distressed was that Li Yiyu's soldiers and horses had lost most of them.

Most of the soldiers and horses, but they were all his soldiers, and they were gone, and his losses were too great.

"Damn, hateful, Qin Tian, this king and you are incompatible......"

It's useless to be hateful, because all this is what he ordered, so even if he wants to punish Li Yiyu, he can't.

And at this time, Li Luo regretted a little, regretted not leading the troops to Fenglin late, originally, he thought that this was a game, and it was useless to go by himself, anyway, as soon as Cheng Biting Jin died, the other vassal kings would act immediately, and he might as well wait for news in Huaizhou, and then raise troops.

But if he knew that the Tang army didn't go to Fenglin at all, then he had to take his five thousand soldiers and horses and kill Qin Tian, who went to Fenglin night as bait.

Unfortunately, the opportunity has been lost.

Li Luo walked back and forth in the study, now, not only the strength of the rebels has weakened, but he also seems to have been exposed, what should he do next, continue to forbear, or do not do anything and lead the troops to rebel?

Li Yiyu still has 4,000 soldiers and horses, and he still has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, adding up to 9,000 soldiers and horses, maybe he can fight with Qin Tian.

But if he rebelled, he was not sure of victory, and after jumping out, there would be no turning back.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and at dusk that day, a subordinate hurriedly came to report: "Lord Wang, Qin Tian's messenger is here." ”

Hearing that Qin Tian's messenger was coming, Li Luo was a little surprised, it was already this time, what else did Qin Tian send the messenger to do?

"Bring him in."

After a while, a messenger came and handed over a letter: "Prince, this is a letter sent by my marquis, now that most of the rebels have been removed, my marquis hopes that the prince can send troops to support as soon as possible and capture Mengzhou City." ”

Xin Li Luo read it, and the letter did not mention the relationship between the rebels and himself, as well as the matter of Fenglinwan, not only that, but also said that if he could raise troops and break through Mengzhou City, he Qin Tian would definitely ask for credit for himself.

After reading the letter, Li Luo frowned slightly, a little confused what Qin Tian meant, since he knew that he had something to do with the rebels, why didn't he do it, and he had to try his best to win himself over?

Do you want to get rid of the rebels and then do it to yourself, the vassal king?

Li Luo felt unlikely, but he soon realized the problem, he was the vassal king, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne not long ago, they dared to make a move against the vassal king, and the other vassal kings could sit idly by?

I'm afraid that there will be a vassal king who will jump out and rebel immediately.

Now that Qin Tian chooses to forbear, then whether he will make a move or not.

Now that he is safe, he doesn't have to worry about the imperial court doing it to himself for the time being, but there are only four thousand rebels left, and it is obvious that he will not be able to jump for long, if he doesn't make a move, after Qin Tian captures Mengzhou City, I am afraid that he will be much more ruthless.

If he makes a move, he may be able to save Li Yiyu and others, and at that time, Li Yiyu can still be used for himself.

"Go back and tell the Marquis of Qin, just say that this king will immediately lead the troops and go to Mengzhou City to break the enemy."
