Chapter 225: The Dark Tide is Surging

1. "Lord, there is an abnormality in Bianzhou. Hu Xiaosi hurriedly found Li Xuanqing in the Changle Hall of Lishan and handed him a love report: "Biaozi sent urgent information from Bianzhou, Zhu Youqi is ready to do it in the near future, and Zheng Fan also secretly returned to Bianzhou from Dezhou." ”

"You mean Zhu Youqi is preparing to take the throne?" During this time, Li Xuanqing didn't ask much about Xuan Yingwei, and he was a little puzzled about this news for a while, according to Li Xuanqing's memory, Zhu Youqi secretly controlled Gyeonggi and killed Zhu Quanzhong when Zhu Quanzhong planned to pass on the throne to his adopted son Zhu Youlun. In this life, under the suppression of the Xuanwu Army, Zhu Quanzhong has no time to think about this matter, and it is only 891 now, and Zhu Quanzhong himself is only forty years old, why do you think about these things so early?

"You're going to intervene?" Li Xuanqing calmed down, and found that Hu Xiaosi was still waiting for his reply, and suddenly asked.

Hu Xiaosi nodded and said: "If the lord agrees, I can let Biaozi start the plan and support Zhu Youshu to contain Zhu Youjue, or instigate the two brothers to fight first in Bianzhou, so as to further distract the forces of the Xuanwu Army and Zhu Quanzhong's energy." If it really causes Xiao Wall, then it will be of great benefit to us to successfully take the Central Plains. ”

"Little Si, have you ever thought about this matter, since Zheng Fan can return to Bianzhou to secretly support Zhu Youqi, do you think Xie Tong on the front line will be involved?" Li Xuanqing shook his head and said, "If this matter was manipulated by Xie Tong, then with his character, he must have considered the possibility of us fishing in troubled waters." So if you want to get involved, then you must choose a good time, don't fall too deep into being used by Xie Tong and disrupt the entire deployment. ”

Li Xuanqing actually vaguely guessed Xie Tong and Zheng Fan's plan, this is a retreat after the deployment, it can be said that this is the retreat of Zhu Quanzhong's group. If Li Xuanqing guessed correctly, Xie Tong would probably have arranged all the retreats at this moment.

This is one thing that Li Xuanqing can't figure out, if Zhu Quanzhong's senior generals in the Central Plains at the moment are not done, then there is no possibility of his plan being implemented at all.

"Little four, go check it, the recent transfer of the Xuanwu Army, give me a detailed list, including the leading generals." Li Xuanqing pondered for a long time and began to investigate this question.

After Hu Xiaosi left, Li Xuanqing shook his head and walked out of the Changle Hall to see Qiaoxi, Qiaoxi's fetal movements are more obvious these days, so Li Xuanqing didn't dare to be sloppy at all, there were no major changes on the front line, and he didn't have much time to intervene.

"Big brother, are you back?" Qiao Xi was chatting with Feixue in the Palace of Eternal Life, and when he saw Li Xuanqing walking in, he was about to say hello but was gently supported by Murong Feixue, who glared at Qiao Xi and said angrily: "This is about to give birth and still move, it's okay for him to come back when he comes back, don't move." ”

Qiaoxi stuck out her tongue and obediently lay on the soft collapse, not daring to move. Li Xuanqing smiled slightly, sat beside her, and with a wave of his right palm, a soft true qi slowly entered Qiaoxi's body. Suddenly, Qiaoxi felt a burst of relief, which made her body comfortable.

However, at this time, Li Xuanqing didn't dare to use his true qi indiscriminately, and after pushing Qiaoxi's blood through the palace, he slowly withdrew his hand, watching Qiaoxi turn into a ruddy face, and said with a slight smile: "Don't move in the past two days, lie down well." ”

"Big brother, is there something going on outside these days?" Qiaoxi asked a little lazily.

"Yes, Zhu Quanzhong's son is ready to act." Li Xuanqing smiled bitterly: "This time, Zhu Quanzhong seems to have no hope, and the top Wenchen generals under his command seem to be involved." ”

"Oh, Qiaoxi is almost born, why are you telling him about these military affairs?" Before Qiao Xi could answer, Murong Feixue pouted unhappily and said, "Can't you say something nice?" ”

"Okay, sister, you don't have to quarrel with your big brother. Why do you two quarrel as soon as you meet? Qiaoxi looked at Murong Feixue's appearance and smiled: "Big brother, you go and get busy, I'll talk to Sister Feixue, if there is something, I will let Ruyan call you." ”

Li Xuanqing nodded, knowing that Qiaoxi was relieved, there were indeed a lot of things recently, but now the affairs over there in Bianzhou were basically handed over to Hu Xiaosi, and he didn't want to interfere, even according to Xie Tong's retreat, it didn't have much impact on his plan, so he didn't bother to participate.

Li Xuanqing casually talked to Qiaoxi about the old things in the past, and didn't pay attention to whether Murong Feixue next to him could understand, and from time to time Qiaoxi would talk to the two about what happened when he was begging with his father before. The clever dilemma between talking and laughing came up again, and quietly entered the dream.

Li Xuanqing saw that Qiaoxi didn't speak, walked over and covered her with a thin quilt, and gestured to Murong Feixue, after the two of them exited the dormitory, Li Xuanqing Murong Feixue smiled and said: "I am estimated to trouble you these days, Qiaoxi is calculated according to the day after tomorrow, and it is the due date from the day after tomorrow." ”

"Forget it, I'm really a little embarrassed to let you be a Tiance general to thank me. Qiaoxi is my sister, this little thing is not a problem. Murong Feixue smiled and said.

Li Xuanqing smiled: "Okay, then I won't talk about it." I have all the people in the medical and nursing center, and if there is a situation, I can gather all of them. ”

"Can they? I still have to give birth to a midwife, and I have found the ten most experienced midwives in Chang'an City to be on call day and night. "Murong Feixue is very strange about Li Xuanqing's approach, what kind of person from the General Medical Hospital is looking for to give birth? And what made Murong Feixue speechless the most was that there were more than a dozen big men inside. Why do pregnant women want these big men to give birth?

"Forget it, Dean Zhang will arrange it." Li Xuanqing also ignored how strange his thoughts were in this era. But fortunately, at least this medical school has brought over the medical concepts of later generations little by little according to its own and Qiaoxi's suggestions.

After Li Xuanqing left the Hall of Eternal Life, he sat alone in the small courtyard of Lishan and pondered. His mind couldn't help but fly to Bianzhou. At this time, the Xuanwu Army was also under a line connection that could not be seen and touched, and was carried out according to Zheng Fan's arrangement. Kang Huaiying, who was besieging Cangzhou on the eastern front, quietly withdrew the main force from outside Cangzhou to Dizhou, and sent his henchmen to activate Zheng Fan's shadow in Laizhou from Laizhou and other places on the Shandong Peninsula in Dizhou overnight.

Kang Huaiying and Zheng Fan came together very early, and they were also the ones who most approved of Zheng Fan's plan among the high-ranking generals of the Xuanwu Army. This is also the reason why he was placed on the Eastern Front in this war, out of the control of the large army, and can carry out plans outside the battlefield when necessary.

Zheng Fan, like Hu Xiaosi, did everything in advance, and as soon as Kang Huaiying's people arrived in Laizhou, they saw that Laizhou, which was originally just a small port, was piled up with materials like a hill, and there were countless large ships concentrated in the port.

After Kang Huaiying received the report from Kuaima, he immediately contacted Bianzhou, and at the same time instructed his henchmen to immediately load the supplies on the ship, and then set off from Laizhou and transfer them to the easternmost part of the Shandong Peninsula - Dengzhou area. At the same time, as reported to Dezhou, Cangzhou could not be attacked for a long time and needed support, and hoped that the Dezhou camp would immediately send troops to support. In order to gain Zhu Quanzhong's trust, Kang Huaiying lied about the military situation, saying that the Cangzhou defenders had received strong support, and his own side had an advantage, and if the camp could not be supported, he asked to return to Dizhou for defense.

Kang Huaiying's military report can be said to have directly disrupted all of Xie Tong's previous plans, and the local offensive on the eastern front did not achieve any advantage, but instead put the main force of the camp in danger of being scattered. But in the face of this situation, Xie Tong could only sigh secretly.

"Strategist, do we want to watch the situation that is still supportable be directly lost because of the struggle of our own people?" Ge Cunzhou found Xie Tong and asked with unwillingness.

"Cun Zhou, do you mean Zheng Fan, they are wrong?" Xie Tong looked at the handsome talent of the Xuanwu Army in front of him and asked.

Xie Tong's words made Ge Cun speechless for a while, and the words of rebuttal needed to be based on his ability to command the army to defeat the Tiance army. The two armies have been facing each other along the Yellow River for more than half a year, during which the two sides have also had many contacts, and the Xuanwu Army is no match for the Tiance Army in terms of quantity and quality. But after all, there are still 400,000 people in the Xuanwu army. At this time, this strategy is almost to hand over the good foundation of the Central Plains to others.

"Cun Zhou, I don't know what Zheng Fan thinks, but you must know that the century-old chaos in the Tang Dynasty needs to end after all, and the loss of the Tang Dynasty is no longer something that the lord can earn, because Li Xuanqing is here, and it is time for Kyushu China to be unified. The reason why I acquiesced to Zheng Fan's doing this was actually to leave a way out for us people, and it was also to make the Central Plains suffer a little less military disaster. Under the war, the two sides must be endless, and the people of the Central Plains must not survive the first war. Xie Tong also said so much rarely, and there was no trace of meticulous logic and rigorous words in the past, "We are all Han people, wherever we go is the homeland of my Han people, and after thousands of years, it will be able to be included in the territory of my Han family." ”

Xie Tong's words made Ge Cun Zhou fall silent for a long time, and these words made him unable to refute. Ge Cunzhou himself took refuge in the Huangchao Rebel Army, and he was also born in the low-level people, so he naturally knew the suffering of the people, which is why he did not stop the actions of Zheng Fan, Kang Huaiying and others.

"What does the military advisor need me to do? Is the withdrawal now ready for a retreat? After a long time, Ge Cunzhou asked.

"Can you control the Lord's direct forces? Zhu Youlun and others' subordinates? Xie Tong asked.

Ge Cunzhou naturally knew what Xie Tong meant, shook his head and said, "These basically belong to the main prince's clan or the main prince's lineage, I can command but can't control it." ”

"Then rely on the great war to baptize." Xie Tong nodded, as if he was not surprised by this, stood up and patted Ge Cunzhou's shoulder and said, "Cunzhou, after arranging these, you can consider your own retreat, whether to follow them or join Li Xuanqing and them." ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it." Ge Cunzhou clenched his fists and smiled bitterly: "Although I have long heard that Li Xuanqing has no prejudice against the generals of Toucheng, I have no will. There are endless high-level generals in the Tiance Army, and their abilities are also very good, isn't it embarrassing for me to go? When this battle is over, I plan to find a place to live in seclusion and live an ordinary life for a few days. The climate in Sanhan is not suitable for me, so I'd better stay in the Central Plains. ”

"What about you, Strategist?" After Ge Cunzhou said his thoughts, he suddenly found that Xie Tong's words were a little problematic, and according to his meaning, it seemed that Xie Tong was not going to go to Sanhan, so he immediately asked.

"We'll see when the time comes. The lord promoted me to be reckless, and I had the grace of acquaintance, and I couldn't let go of it so easily. Xie Tong smiled bitterly and didn't want to continue the topic, "You can arrange it immediately, transfer the people and horses that Zheng Fan's side needs out of the camp, and let them return to Bianzhou or join Kang Huaiying when necessary, and you can watch the rest of the manpower." After a pause, he continued: "Cun Zhou, after so many years, you should also consider those henchmen under you, you know what I mean, right?" ”

"Yes, after a lifetime of fighting, I didn't want to pay attention to this, but I didn't expect to think about it when I was coming." Ge Cunzhou nodded with a wry smile, turned away, and his figure was unusually small.

"My lord, I will accompany you through this journey." Xie Tong sighed as he watched Ge Cunzhou leave, and slowly returned to his bed.

After Ge Cunzhou returned, he began to mobilize the army on the grounds of arranging the battle formation that night, and transferred Liu Cheng and other soldiers and horses secretly arranged by Zheng Fan to the rear army to protect the Texas rearguard. The remaining soldiers and horses were reorganized, with Pang Shigu, Zhu Youlun and Zhang Quanyi as the commanders of the former army, and Zhang Guiba, Huo Cun and his own personal guards formed the Chinese army, which drove out of the city to form a huge military formation and compete with the Tiance army.

Ge Cunzhou's actions also made Xie Tong nod secretly, his generalissimo was really a resolute person, and he would act immediately once he decided. Thinking of this, Xie Tong also began to inform Zheng Fan in Bianzhou to act according to the plan.

Zhu Quanzhong in the camp in Dezhou did not react at all, after all, all of his civil and military generals were saved up little by little in the war, and he trusted Ge Cunzhou, the generalissimo he hand-picked, and when he saw Ge Cunzhou's arrangement, he thought that he had thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy, so he also sent someone to the military formation outside the city to ask if he needed to play to stimulate morale.

Ge Cunzhou took a deep breath after sending the eunuch back on the grounds that the war was imminent, and Zhu Quanzhong, as the monarch, should not appear as the monarch, so as not to let the soldiers take care of one thing and lose the other, and took a deep breath, he did everything he should have done, and now it is time to consider the brothers who joined the Xuanwu Army with him.

Ge Cunzhou immediately summoned Zhang Guiba, Huo Cun and his own guard captain Liang Chuan into the tent, these people are all old men who he has brought since the time of the Huangchao Rebel Army, and his brothers for more than ten years, and now at this time Ge Cunzhou briefly described the situation.

The news brought by Ge Cunzhou made it difficult for the three of them to digest the news for a while. In fact, there are also such signs in the army, but basically they all think that it is an infighting between various factions, and they don't think about it. At this time, when I heard Ge Cunzhou say it himself, I didn't know what to do.

"Since everyone can't say anything, let me tell you." Ge Cunzhou saw that everyone didn't speak, so he opened his mouth.
