Jinguancheng, Li Qiao led Li Jing to welcome into the city guard, after the New Year, Jinguancheng has returned to a prosperous situation, with Li Qiao sitting in Bashu, Meng Lin did not dare to attack the land of Bashu at all, and barely held on in Bazhou. The whole Bashu fell into peace for the time being.

"Your Majesty, this is the news that Dali has just arrived, Ziqi has led a large army to attack Luo Dian, and Luo Dian was suddenly attacked and suffered heavy losses." Li Qiao hurriedly told the news he had gotten.

"Ziqi has already sent troops so soon?" Li Jing frowned and said, "How about Yang Tingjing's soldiers and horses?" No news yet? Could it be that he hasn't sent troops yet, he can't do a large-scale war, and he can't handle this kind of small-scale war? I have transferred the people of the Duan clan and the Gao clan back, and there is no enemy in Dali to stop him, if he can't do it, he will choose someone else from the martial arts. ”

Although Li Jing temporarily gave up Dali, he did not sit back and wait for the situation in Dali to become complicated, not in his own control, Luo Dian and Ziqi could not decide the winner in a short period of time, the two sides must continue to fight, it is best until the end of the year, let Li Jing solve the Southern Song Dynasty, and then deal with Dali is not too late.

"This, there is no news from the dark guard's side, but the minister thinks that since Yang Tingjing has no movement, it is better not to ask for the time being." Li Qiao thought for a while and said.

Li Jing nodded, but his face was a little unsightly, and said: "Let Hu Yanbao move faster, in a place like Dali, there are many mountain soldiers, after training, they will be put into use on the battlefield immediately, since there are many soldiers and horses in the thirty-seven divisions, if they really have to wait until they destroy Luo Dian, I am afraid that the situation in Dali will change." ”

"The minister immediately asked the secret guard to inform Yang Tingjing." Li Qiao hurriedly said: "The situation in Dali, the minister is not very worried, the minister is worried about Jiangnan, now it is very close to the beginning of spring, and it is about to be spring ploughing, Your Majesty's southern expedition is afraid that it will have to wait until the summer and autumn season, so that we can have enough food, but during this time the battle on the Jiankang side is very fierce, the minister heard that Yue Fei has attacked Jiankang City several times, if it is not for General Wu Jue to fight bravely, I am afraid that Jiankang City has been owned by Yue Fei." ”

"What's the news from Wang Yin?" Li Jing knew that Yue Fei wanted to take advantage of the fact that his army had not yet been dispatched, to solve Jiankang first, and then move west to defend Xiangyang.

"There is no news yet, after all, Wang Yin is only a partial division, and it is difficult to get a bigger result, but the minister has asked him to send troops to Guangnan West Road, so that when His Majesty decides a decisive battle, my Datang can divide the troops into four routes, gradually shrink, and eliminate the Southern Song Dynasty." Li Qiao Zhengrong said: "It has rained in the Bashu area this year, and the minister has found out clearly, the Central Plains had a lot of snowfall at the end of last year, and this year's harvest should be good." I, Datang, can definitely support the four armies to fight at the same time. But I don't know if the Southern Song Dynasty had this ability. ”

"Well, what the king of the county said is right, don't look at Yue Fei's tossing now, but it's only temporary, even if he occupies Jiankang, what can he do, the Southern Song Dynasty has already gone, if I don't want to use all my troops, I'm afraid I would have raised troops to the south a long time ago." Li Jing shook his head, Yue Fei's attack at this time was just consuming the vitality of the Southern Song Dynasty, even if he temporarily gained the upper hand, he would not be able to change the general trend.

"Your Majesty, the minister is actually not worried about the affairs of Jiangnan, the minister is worried about the north, Your Majesty, it has been more than a year, and the Jin people have not moved at all, doesn't Your Majesty feel that this seems to be a little abnormal?" Li Qiao said suddenly.

"What, Uncle Wang, this is asking me to attack the Southern Song Dynasty in advance?" At this time, Li Jing finally heard that Li Qiao wanted to ask Li Jing to solve the Southern Song Dynasty problem as soon as possible, even if it was a reckless force. This is undoubtedly different from Coco Li's decision.

Li Qiao rarely showed a hint of embarrassment, and explained: "What the minister is worried about is that the Jin people have a big tail, in the last year, the minister once sent someone to obtain some information about the Jin people, the previous Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan have the talent of generals, these people are undoubtedly comprehensive in their considerations, these people are good at being upright, but now the Jin people are in power is Wanyan Zongbi, this person is different from Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, this person is insidious and cunning, as long as he can achieve the goal, he will not hesitate to use any means. The minister guessed that he would not be willing to let His Majesty unify Jiangnan. ”

"Where does Uncle Wang think he will attack?" Li Jing laughed when he heard this, and said: "I will have a Lu Shibao in Shanhaiguan, although Shanhaiguan has not yet been built, but it can definitely resist the opponent's attack. As for the grassland, Brother Xiao Wei led 100,000 troops, and he could also resist one or two opponents, and it was very difficult to attack from the north. ”

Li Jing shook his head indifferently, he had never relaxed his monitoring of the north, no one knew better than him the strength and brutality of the Jin people, so he had laid out heavy troops in the north, and he was not afraid of the Jin people going south. But for Li Qiao's other suggestion, there was a hint of interest.

"The minister doesn't know, but the minister heard that the grain and grass of the imperial court can last for a month?" Li Qiao shook his head and said: "There are now 130,000 soldiers and horses in Bashu, and the grain and grass in Bashu can also support these 130,000 people for a month. Rendezvous with Wang Yin, solve Jingnan, and strive to trap Zhao Huan in the Jingzhou area. ”

Li Jing suddenly laughed, although Li Qiao did not explicitly say that he was worried about the Jin people, he still suggested that the Southern Song Dynasty should be resolved as soon as possible, even if it was a loss, it was nothing. After the year, it will be spring ploughing, once the war is about to start, it will be necessary to transport grain and grass, and the requisition of people to transport grain and grass will inevitably delay spring ploughing, which is why Li Jing is unwilling to start a war now.

Li Qiao was embarrassed by Li Jing, but he was for the sake of the Tang Foundation, even if he was laughed at by Li Jing, it didn't matter, he looked up at Li Jing, which made Li Jing feel a headache.

"So be it! Uncle Wang, after the spring ploughing, you immediately launched the battle of Bazhou to solve the matter of Bazhou. Li Jing thought for a while and said. What Li Qiao said makes sense, the Jin people haven't moved for a long time, and no one knows when the Jin people will do it, last year's heavy snow in the Northeast, the actions of the secret guards in the Northeast have basically been canceled, if Yan Zongbi really does something, Li Jing will be in trouble.

Although there is not enough food and grass, it is not impossible to fight a big war, and some troubles can be solved in advance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qiao was very happy to hear this, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Du Xing's face flustered in the distance, walked over, and immediately took back the words in his mouth.

"Your Majesty. Gao Liang Cheng ran away, and Gao Liang Cheng who followed us was fake. It's just a stand-in. Duchenne said in a low voice with a gloomy face.

"Are you sure?" Li Jing's face changed, and murderous intent loomed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, such an oolong appeared, which made him unexpected, and even his face was gloomy.
