In the Jin Palace, Li Keyong was sick and lay on the bed dying.

"Daddy, the envoy of the King of Shu is here." Li Ke walked in cautiously with his only son, Li Cunxuan.

Li Keyong jumped up from the bed, only to see that he was full of energy, his eyes were shining, and he was half sick.

"He, Wang Jian, is here to mobilize, hmph, he sent Wang Rui to capture Tanzhou and Fuzhou in the imperial court, and he is lonely, so he wants to pull a few helpers."

"Dad, what are we going to do. Did you take advantage of this opportunity to also take the opportunity to raise troops to the south and seize the state first? ”

Li Keyong shook his head: "No, let's stand still." Tell Wang Jian's envoy that this king is sick, and my Jin army is now weak, and it is still too late to protect itself, and it is unable to send troops to fight with the court. ”

"Report!" A soldier walked in and arched his hand: "King Jin, little prince, the court has sent someone here, and he has arrived at the main hall to wait."

Li Keyong smiled slightly: "Look, the little emperor can't sit still." I also sent an envoy to come to this king to find out the truth here, hehe, there is a good show to watch now. ”

"Dad, if we don't unite with the King of Shu, then we will be biased towards the court, and the child will go to receive it." Li Cunqiao turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop," Li Keyong called to stop him, "Tell the people who come to the court, and they will also say that this king is sick and it is inconvenient to see guests."

This Li Cunmiao was surprised: "Dad, we don't help the King of Shu, nor follow the court, so won't we please both sides?"

Li Keyong smiled lightly: "Son, you don't understand. Watching the fire from the other side, the sandpiper and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman. None of us will see it, no one will provoke it, and the king of Shu and the court will inevitably double down on us. If we make our attitude clear now, which side we are inclined to, it will inevitably cause them to make a big move. Don't hear, don't ask, don't take a stand, don't take a stand. Let him blow and rain, and I will not move. ”

Li Cunmiao threw himself to the ground in his father's admiration: "What does Daddy mean, after they fight, let's decide to help that side?"

Li Ke smiled hehehe, and the smile was extremely treacherous: "Yes, let them fight on both sides for now, and the harder the fight, the better." When they can't beat it, it's time for us to make a move. ”

Li Cunmiao was overjoyed: "The child understands, if the court is defeated, we will take the opportunity to raise troops to the south." If Wang Jian loses, let's go to the side of the court again. ”

"Confused!" Suddenly, Li Keyong's face changed: "You have been fighting with your righteous brothers for so many years, how can you learn more and more backwards!"

Li Cunmiao was taken aback, and then thought about it: "The child understands, what Daddy means is that no matter who wins or loses between the court and Wang Jian, our enemy is the imperial court." Wang Jian won, let's go south, Wang Jian lost, let's send troops south! ”

"Hahaha......" Li Keyong was overjoyed: "You can teach, I haven't taught you for so many years in vain." Remember, child, that no feudal town in the world is our opponent. Wang Jian can't do it, Yang Xingmi can't do it, and Luo Shaowei can't do it. Our biggest enemy is Zhu Quanzhong, but Zhu Quanzhong was eaten by the little emperor, so our biggest enemy now is the imperial court. This little emperor is very wise, even if we join forces with Wang Jian at this time, we may not be the emperor's opponent. It's better to let the court and Wang Jian fight to the death first, and let's wait for the opportunity to move again. ”

Li Cunmiao nodded: "Let's not move here, I don't know what will happen to Yang Xingmi and Luo Shaowei?"

Li Keyong sighed, and he thought for a while: "Yang Xingmi is very close to the imperial court, he will help that side, I can't guess." However, Luo Shaowei will definitely send troops, he offended the court last time, and he already has a grudge against the court. Now that Wang Jianjian is rebelling, he will definitely take advantage of the situation. It doesn't matter, let them fight, the more chaotic the better, and the muddy waters are good to fish. ”

In terms of looking at the battle situation and the way of using troops, Li Ji is far worse than Li Ke using this kind of old fox. But there is one thing that Li Ji does not have in these feudal towns, and that is gunpowder and cavalry tactics.

Gunpowder has always been a taboo thing for the feudal towns, but they haven't paid much attention to it. In their eyes, after all, morale is the most important thing, how can something like this change the entire battle situation.

Then there is the cavalry, which is very fierce. In the grasslands, it can give full play to its great mobile advantages, and it can fight in the Central Plains, relying on numbers and command strategies. The cavalry burned money and food, and was not valued by the vassal kings.

In fact, it's not that the vassal kings don't want to pay attention to it, but that the cavalry is too expensive and they can't afford it.

And Li Ji is different, after all, the imperial court is still the center of the world, and he has money and food. Since its establishment, the Forbidden Army has paid attention to cavalry construction, and the Horse Infantry Army is a heavy cavalry team.

A quarter of the copper coins of Huangling Mountain were used to build cavalry, and Li Ji tried his best to make this cavalry bigger and stronger.

Li Ji sent Taichang Shaoqing Jiao Cheng, this old guy was recommended by Cui Yuan, Cui Yuan said that he was steady, but Jiao Cheng didn't have much scheming, and at this moment he was in a hurry in the palace of the Jin Palace.

Finally, Li Cunmiao hurried over, he looked apologetic, and hurriedly bowed: "Alas, Lord Jiao has worked hard from afar, Xiao Wang has missed the welcome, please forgive me."

Jiao Cheng was in a hurry, and when he saw that it was Li Keyong's only son, Li Cunqiao, he hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently: "Xiaguan heard that King Jin is sick?" How could he be sick at this juncture, little prince, can you take the lower officials to visit King Jin? ”

Li Cunmiao smiled and gave up his seat, and ordered the tea: "Don't worry, Lord Jiao, my father is seriously ill, forgive me for seeing guests, and please forgive Master Jiao."

"But, alas!" Jiao Cheng flicked his sleeves: "I'll tell you the truth, the little prince may have heard that Wang Jian rebelled and had already led troops to break through the two counties of Tanzhou and Fuzhou." What Your Majesty means is that the King of Jin can send troops with the imperial court to crusade against Wang Jian. ”

Li Cunmiao looked helpless: "Alas, but my father is seriously ill, and he is really powerless." Master Jiao also knows that these soldiers and generals in the Jin Palace's Mansion have always only listened to their father, and Xiao Wang originally wanted to contribute to the court, but this is also helpless. ”

Jiao Cheng didn't have any scheming, but he wasn't a fool: "Little prince, this King Jin is sick and the lower officials should go to see it, take me there quickly."

Jiao Cheng insisted again and again, and Li Cunqiao was helpless, so he had to say: "Since Master Jiao is so insistent, then okay, please come with me."

Jiao Cheng always suspected that Li Keyong was pretending to be sick, and immediately followed Li Cunqiao to the Jin Palace.

When he arrived at Li Keyong's dormitory, Li Cunqiao knocked on the door, and a servant's voice came from inside: "Who?"

"It's me, Lord Jiao wants to come to see my father on behalf of the imperial court."

'Squeak', the door of the palace opened, and a maid bowed and saluted: "Little prince, King Jin is invited."

When Jiao Cheng followed Li Cunqiao into the house, he saw Li Keyong lying on the bed with straight eyes. Saliva is flowing from the corners of the mouth, and there is more air in and less air out.

"King Jin, King Jin, are you okay?" Jiao Cheng asked anxiously.

"Hmph, hmph......" Li Ke was stunned with his gaze, and he couldn't speak.

Jiao Cheng immediately believed: "This ......"

Li Cunqiao pulled his sleeve: "Alas, my father is seriously ill, and Master Jiao is smiling." As he spoke, he pulled Jiao Cheng and walked out.

Seeing that Li Keyong was half-dead, Jiao Cheng had no idea, so he arched his hand: "King Jin is so sick, then the lower official has to leave."

Li Cunmiao pretended to stay: "Why don't Master Jiao stop thinking about it for a few days, it's not too late to leave."

"The emperor's order is in his body, and the lower official has retired."

After Jiao Cheng left, there was a sneer on the corner of Li Cunqiao's mouth.

Datong Palace,

Li Ji frowned: "You mean, King Jin is sick?"

Jiao Cheng nodded, and swore solemnly: "Exactly, the corner of the Jin King's mouth is salivating, and he is already dying."

"Old fox, play pretending to be sick with me at this time, I know, you go down first."

Jiao Cheng bowed and withdrew: "Your Majesty, the minister looks at the king of Jin as if he was cheating, and he is indeed terminally ill."

"Well, Jiao Aiqing, do you know how you will die in the future?"

Jiao Cheng was startled, and hurriedly knelt down: "The old minister doesn't know."

"Stupid, go down, I don't blame you." Li Ji waved his hand.

Jiao Cheng wiped his sweat before getting up and exiting.

At the same time, there are also Fan Yao, Ling Hu Yunlong, Xiao Nuoyan, Zhang Wenwei and others in the hall.

"Rick is pretending to be sick, which is a clever trick. He didn't want to offend me, and he didn't want to turn his face with Wang Jian. Hmph, old fox, I don't care if you are really sick or not, I will send troops to fight Wang Rui first! Li Ji slapped the table.

"Your Majesty, what about King Jin?" Linghu Yunlong still asked worriedly.

"It's okay, transfer 5,000 forbidden troops to help the Zhaoyi Army's Ding Hui Department and Ge Congzhou's Department. Regardless of whether he Li Ke uses troops or not, we have to guard against him. Li Ji said.

Linghu Yunlong said again. "However, in this way, we will have fewer troops to deal with Wang Rui's army."

Xiao Nuoyan stood up and hugged his fists: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take eight thousand iron horsemen to Jiangling and fight with that Wang Rui!"

"Is eight thousand enough?" Li Ji asked.

"Five thousand is enough!" Xiao Nuoyan said lightly.

Li Ji smiled: "Okay, I know you have some skills." But just in case, I still give you 10,000 elite soldiers, take my family background, and go to Jiangling to meet that Wang Rui. Let them know that I am awesome! ”

Xiao Nuoyan knelt on one knee and bowed: "Minister, obey the order!"

Li Ji stood up: "Grain, grass, and military salaries, I will give priority to supply." Zhang Wenwei, Fan Yao, Linghu Yunlong, you assist Xiao Nuoyan, and I will hand over the capital Ma Bujun to you. Remember, it hurts them. The first battle of Fuzhou will make the vassal kings afraid of the imperial court, so that they will no longer dare to covet my Tang Dynasty! ”

Everyone stood up in unison and gave up their hands to receive the order: "Minister, obey the order!"

The flag is fluttering, and the horse is Xiaoxiao! The Praetorian Guards of the capital began to assemble.

The war horse neighsed, and the general fought a hundred battles. The iron armor is strong, and the morale is high.

Li Ji played the trump card in his hand, the horse infantry army, and the main force of the cavalry. Battalions of archers, scimitars, firearms, and a steady supply of food and grass in the back.

The 10,000-strong army, starting from Beijing, wants to go south to the front line of Jiangling and start a decisive battle with Wang Rui's rebels!
