"How? Will it be handed over to the emperor like this? Yang Tiancheng threw down the pen in his hand, stretched his waist, and said with a wry smile: "I always feel that the plan we have formulated to recover Anxi will definitely be scolded to death by the emperor." ”

"I don't think the emperor will scold, but the senior brother will come from the northwest to clean up the portal. Those of us who are juniors and disciples are simply cheating on him, and I don't see any hope of implementing the plan of your general staff anyway. Hu Xiaosi sat there and shook his head, in his opinion, the plan of the General Staff was not possible to be implemented at all, and the risk was too great, fortunately, Wan Yi changed Chen Fan's words in the northwest, and it was estimated that he would throw it back to the General Staff without saying a word.

However, for Yang Tiancheng and Wang Houchun, the operators of this plan, it may not be impossible to implement it, but at this time, the two of them were busy for three days and three nights, and they didn't have much strength to argue with Hu Xiaosi and others, so they hurriedly threw the plan to Xu Tianxiang for preliminary review, and the two staggered out of the General Staff Building and went home to rest.

However, although the plan was the main one of Yang Tiancheng and Wang Houchun, Xu Tianxiang did not have any ease on his side, he needed to supplement the plans of the cabinet and Hu Xiaosi into the plan of the General Staff Department, and he also needed to divide the various steps to facilitate the implementation of the plan in the northwest.

Early the next morning, a few people who had rested came to Changqing Hall together, and even Cen Tianshi, who was so busy, took the time to come over, ready to see what the General Staff was preparing for

Ho made this plan. When a few people arrived, Li Xuanqing had just arrived, and he was about to ponder the currency exchange and use measures that Qiaoxi had helped formulate in the past two days.

Xu Tianxiang gave a copy to each of the several people present, because Li Xuanqing had never seen such a device as a photocopier in his previous life, so he could only look forward to when the laboratory of the industrial group would be able to create it by itself. This person's thick plan was copied overnight by several staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters.

"Is this your plan?" Li Xuanqing didn't take a closer look at the plan formulated by Hu Xiaosi and the cabinet, the main points of the plan on Xuan Yingwei's side had been basically explained that day, and the specific details Hu Xiaosi handled were only better and not the best, and the plan on the cabinet's side was also some policy things, and the specific operation was to control the overall situation on the front line. Then the focus is on the General Staff's plan to recover the northwest, so Li Xuanqing looked at it very carefully, and Cen Tianshi also watched the plan carefully because he didn't participate.

"This is the handiwork of Tiancheng and Houchun, right?" After reading it, Li Xuanqing closed his eyes and said in a deep groan, to be honest, this plan is indeed thrilling enough, but fortunately, the commander of the front line is Wan Yi, if it is replaced by Chen Fan, Li Xuanqing looked at Chen Fan who was sitting on the side and shook his head silently. It's just that everyone else reacted to this shake, and immediately looked at Chen Fan in unison, causing everyone to laugh after a while.

"Which of you two are going to say first? You have to convince me of this plan first, or else I'll do it again. Li Xuanqing stopped everyone's laughter and waved his hand.

After Yang Tiancheng and Wang Houchun glanced at each other, the former spoke: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cen." The plan of Hou Chun and I is like this, the army will march from the sandbar around March next year and attack Yizhou. Yang Tiancheng paused for a moment and then continued: "I mean not to touch the Anxi Uighurs on the southern front, and to hand over the entire southern front to Xuanyingwei for arrangement. ”

As soon as he said these words, Cen Tianshi said directly: "Tiancheng, your plan is too aggressive, right?" As far as I know, the Qocho Uighurs on the southern front were more threatening than the northern one, right? Moreover, there is a hidden line buried by Xuanyingwei on the northern line, Cao Rengui will definitely not let go of such an opportunity in your plan, once you go deep into the territory of Gaochang, then he will definitely attack the sandbar in the east. If the sandbar is attacked by him, then you will inevitably face the danger of the entire logistics base being occupied. This plan is too risky, too crazy to be precise, once Wan Yi's back is attacked, the front-line army will be surrounded in one fell swoop. ”

"Sir, don't worry, listen to Tiancheng continue." Hu Xiaosi covered his mouth and said with a smile: "After Zhao Si came back, he has already revised part of the plan, Xuan Yingwei will rely on the Flying Eagle Brigade to contain the Anxi Uighur garrison on the eastern front in the early stage, and attack and kill their generals and tribal leaders, so that at least before the main force of the senior brother's army occupies Yizhou, the Anxi Uighurs will not be able to pull out." ”

Although Hu Xiaosi's words made Cen Tianshi understand, they still couldn't stop his worries, there were not only the Uighurs on Anxi's side, but also Cao Rengui, the remnant of the Guiyi Army, which was not a worry-free lord at all, and even Cen Tianshi knew that it was not so much about dealing with the Anxi Uighurs as Cao Rengui on the Anxi side after knowing about the anti-Tang alliance that the other party had created. If Cao Rengui was able to retreat into the town of Boxian safely in despair, then his relationship with the Anxi Uighurs must have been extremely deep.

"Are you going to turn around and attack the Anxi Uighurs after you have defeated the Uighurs of Qocho?" Cen Tianshi asked.

"It's not about continuing after the fight, it's about becoming one. After we conquered Yizhou, it was equivalent to taking a base in Gaochang, and our army was also equivalent to gaining a foothold in Gaochang, because of the existence of Shi Congxin, the war in Gaochang would inevitably be relatively smooth, so if the Gaochang Uighurs could not resist, then Cao Rengui would inevitably let the Anxi Uighurs lead the army to aid Gaochang, and he himself would definitely contain the descendants of the nine surnames of Zhaowu to form his own team to fight back to the sandbank. Wang Houchun shook his head and said: "In this way, we can concentrate the opponent's living forces relatively close to our logistics line, as long as we can achieve victory and annihilate the opponent's main force.

Then the rest of the place will basically not be too difficult. ”

"Houchun, don't fool me, don't you know how dangerous it is for you to do this?" Cen Tianshi said directly without hesitation: "It's still the original question, didn't you say so much in this plan?" You won't expect Wan Yi to make a decision on the spot, right? Anyway, you have to have a foolproof plan, right? ”

"Do you have any other plans on the Xuanying Guard's side?" Li Xuanqing waved his hand to interrupt Cen Tianshi's words, Li Xuanqing guessed about Xuan Yingwei's plan, but Li Xuanqing didn't see the specific details in Xuan Yingwei's plan, but Zhao Si is not here now, and it is estimated that he has urgently returned to the front line.

"Your Majesty, Xuan Yingwei's side has actually made some arrangements in advance when Zhao Si comes back, and the Anxi camp has already dispatched Zhang Sheng to lead the previous veterans to secretly sneak into Anxi, preparing to act one step ahead." Hu Xiaosi nodded and said: "Using Zhang Sheng to do this is much more effective than we sending other people, and I have already agreed with He Murong, the second child of their family has also set off for Shazhou, obey the dispatch of Zhao Si and the deputy prime minister, and if necessary, you can sneak into Anxi, I prepared a big gift for Cao Rengui, and when it explodes, haha." As soon as Hu Xiaosi's words were finished, Li Xuanqing shook his head and said: "You'd better not despise that Cao Rengui, I'm sure he must be on guard against your destruction at this moment, Zhao Si's actions in Shazhou City have made him have enough understanding of your Xuanyingwei's ability, so this time I have to tell Zhao Si not to take it lightly, otherwise the sandbar is really an empty city, don't mess it up." ”

"In fact, it's not an empty city, the key is to see if Zhang Sheng can win over how many people, didn't the emperor promise him before, the main members of the Anxi camp need to absorb the descendants of Anxi from the northwest to form it? In that case, it's up to him. Yang Tiancheng said with a smile: "But we didn't plan to hang ourselves on a tree, so Xiao Si dispatched all the alternate members of the Flying Eagle Brigade to go to the sandbar to lurk, so that relying on their superb strength, even if they have anything, they can hold out until the main force of Wan Yi's army returns to help, and after the reinforcement, they can also gather and annihilate Cao Rengui and his party on the spot." Yang Tiancheng said with a smile: "This is a pure plan, if according to Mr. Cen's intentions, I hope that they can carry out this set of plans, so that they can really be combined into one, here to annihilate Cao Rengui's main force, over there Anxi Uighurs want to aid the Gaochang Uighurs, and they will have to face the manpower we have arranged to sow discord in the back, I think the two Uighurs will definitely not think that Gaochang is an invincible pit, he will not be able to get out if he enters." When they are fighting, we will suddenly enter the army. Yang Tiancheng finished speaking very seriously, but Wang Houchun next to him suddenly pulled Chen Fan and smirked secretly, looking very obscene.

Li Xuanqing shook his head and put down the plan in his hand, pondered for a moment before speaking: "The plan will be sent to Wan Yi's side as soon as possible, and at the same time, it will be explained that the general will not be affected by the order of the foreign monarch, if an unexpected situation occurs on the front line, let him deal with it in a mobile manner, and not be affected by the plan of the General Staff here." If the front line goes well, let him try to let him carry out the thick and pure plan. ”

As soon as Li Xuanqing's words were finished, everyone present was stunned, and Cen Tianshi stood up directly, and said: "Your Majesty, Houchun's plan is even crazier than Tiancheng's, why do you still agree to this plan?" It's too risky. ”

"It's really two things in one." Li Xuanqing clapped his hands and smiled: "The northwest side is as Tiancheng said that logistics and transportation are difficult, and the battlefield selection must be selected in the area as close to our logistics supply line as possible, and the thick and pure plan really covers all aspects of consideration, if the plan can be realized, it will really be able to solve the threat of the Uighurs and Cao Rengui in one fell swoop, so as to advance the battle line to the territory of Gaochang, and the southern front will hit the Anxi Uighurs hard, so as to free up time for us." ”

Li Xuanqing's words caused a silence in everyone, and Cen Tianshi instinctively felt that Li Xuanqing was in a hurry to the northwest, so when the others were silent, Cen Tianshi's gaze turned to Li Xuanqing was full of questions and puzzles.

"Sir, please see, this is the five-year industrial development plan that I formulated with Qiaoxi." Li Xuanqing handed Cen Tianshi the five-year plan he and Qiaoxi formulated during this time: "This is the five-year plan for industrial development formulated by me and Qiaoxi, according to this plan, the Tang Dynasty will use five years to popularize industrialization, but our empire has just ended the war, Anxi has not yet recovered, and the funds spent on economic development every year are seriously limited, and after industrialization, a large number of industrial products need a huge market to sell, which cannot be solved in China for the time being." The population within the empire withered, and it was not possible to generate a large number of people to spend in a short period of time. That's why I need the Western Expeditionary Army to pacify Anxi as soon as possible and open up the Silk Road to make up for the lack of our foreign trade routes. ”

Li Xuanqing's words made everyone fall silent again, and even this time Cen Tianshi couldn't speak, Li Xuanqing and his wife have spent much effort for the development of the empire over the years, everyone can see it, to be honest, everyone has never seen that an emperor has ever been able to attach so much importance to economic development, and the ideas brought are unprecedented, but the practice in the past few years has been positive and correct. This time, in order to develop the economy, he did not hesitate to take risks, just to end the war early.

"Your Majesty, I will leave for Shazhou immediately to assist my senior brother." After a while, Wang Houchun stood up and said: "Now there are Tianxiang and Tiancheng on the Chang'an side, and the affairs of the General Staff can be handled in a timely manner, and there is Chen Fan staring at the northeast side, if the plan I made myself is in charge of it, I think I will be able to complete the task." ”

"Houchun, the New Year will be in a few days, are you sure you will go at this time?" Xu Tianxiang said: "Even if you want to go to Shazhou, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?" ”

"Understand the situation in advance, it will be more convenient to implement it in this way, and if the senior brother really implements this plan, he will definitely lead the troops to Yizhou, and Cao Rengui's eyes will definitely be fixed on the senior brother, and he will only feel at ease if the senior brother is gone." Gao Siji can't replace this matter, and I guess my brother's words won't worry that Gao Siji will go to Gaochang alone, after all, it has now been learned that Li Cunqiao is still alive and well, and the Shatuo people are living well in Gaochang. Wang Houchun shook his head.

Li Xuanqing stood up, walked to Wang Houchun's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It seems that this has the advantage of not having a family, the world is big, and you can go directly to where you want to go." Lao Jiu, it's okay if you go, it just so happens that Senior Brother can't come back, you can be a companion with him after you pass, remember not to take risks if you can't do anything. Li Xuanqing's words made Wang Houchun shake his body, and then smiled: "It's actually good to go to the northwest, but it's a pity that you can't eat the food cooked by your third sister-in-law during the Chinese New Year." ”

"Don't worry, I've been ready for the third sister-in-law." At this time, Qiao Xi walked up from the apse and said with a smile: "I heard in the back that Brother Jiu was going to the northwest to catch up with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so I prepared it in advance, let's celebrate the New Year in advance today, but I have been busy with Sister Feixue for half a day." ”

"Haha, Houchun, today is stained with your light, the queen mother and the princess cook together, there are not many opportunities, I see everyone is hungry, let's talk while eating." Your Majesty, you have to tell me about this five-year plan, the plans of our cabinet are almost completed, and this hasty change is so big, I, the prime minister, need to figure out what's going on, right? Cen Tianshi took Li Xuanqing's plan and pulled a few people to laugh.
