"I said, Your Majesty, you don't know where to send the battle report to the front line of Nashilai." The General Staff arrested Liu Yi and sent the military report, but when he arrived at Nashi, he found that Li Xuanqing and Hu Xiaosi were pondering over a strange-looking machine, and the queen next to him was still holding a pen and nodding while recording.

"Liu Yi, why are you here? Is there something going on over there in Chang'an? Hu Xiaosi saw Liu Yi walk aside and say a word, but Li Xuanqing didn't pay attention to it at all, walked over and smiled, regardless of the oil stains on his hands, took the information, swept it and said with a smile: "It seems that there is no problem on the senior brother's side, Gao Siji has picked up a bargain, and he has picked up a front-line grain base for nothing." After finishing speaking, he saw Liu Yi also staring at the machine in front of Li Xuanqing, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, you are also interested in this machine?" ”

"Is there any news coming from here? Is there any news from Suzhou? At this time, Li Xuanqing raised his head and looked at Liu Yi, who was also attracted in front of him, and asked. In fact, there is no difficulty for Wan Yi to plan the Ganzhou base, after the completion of the first phase of the task, it is necessary to repair Ganzhou, and the southward movement of the Datar people in the grassland also gave Wan Yi great inspiration, the Tatars can go to Ganzhou, Gao Siji will definitely be able to go to Ganzhou, and the most important point is that Gao Siji fought all the way from the grassland, which is equivalent to sweeping away the rebel strength in the south of Datar Province, and stabilizing the grassland while supporting the northwest campaign. In this way, the three provinces of the steppe, the westernmost province of Tatar, can also become the rear of the Western Expeditionary Army. Before Li Xuanqing left, the commissioner sent by the cabinet to Datar Province had already gone to the political envoy of Datar Province, planned a batch of materials from the north, and then prepared to go south and enter Hexi by the straight road built in Sanfeng, but the grassland area was basically produced with cattle, sheep, livestock, war horses and other special materials. Most of these were packed up for the Jeredian family.

"The earlier news of Xuan Yingwei on the Suzhou side was that he was preparing to divide and disintegrate the forces of the Long family, so as to disrupt the overall situation in Suzhou, and then achieve a plan to interrupt the Guiyi army. According to the news from Zhao Si, he has already been in contact with the forces of the Long family and Long Xuan. It's just that the conditions they put forward are a bit high, and Zhao Si and they are not very satisfied, but with the development of the situation, it is estimated that Long Xuan can no longer help it. Hu Xiaosi replied instead of Liu Yi: "And once the senior brother's army reaches Yumen Pass, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, in fact, this move has also forced the Long family and the Guiyi army to a critical turning point, forcing them to continue to make moves." ”

Li Xuanqing nodded, he was naturally clear about Xuan Yingwei's arrangement and plan in Suzhou, in fact, the role of the Long family, as a local force, in this competition was actually not important after the soldiers pressed the border. This point can be seen from the retreat and forbearance of the head of the Long family after the Guiyi Army marched eastward, and the people of the Long family actually saw through the current situation, and when the strength was not as good as his opponents and allies, he actually had very little right to speak, but if the head of the Long family was just cowardly, he was afraid that it might not be, and the actions of Long Xuan and the radical forces of the Long family would be difficult to achieve without his cover and acquiescence. Therefore, instead of Zhao Si looking for Long Xuan to negotiate, it is better to say that the head of the Long family is thinking behind it.

"Your Majesty, do you want to add a fire to Suzhou, let Zhao Si recruit the Flying Eagle Brigade into the city, and disrupt the pace of the Guiyi Army to incorporate the Long Family Army? Take a look at what the hole cards of the head of the Long family are. Hu Xiaosi saw that Li Xuanqing didn't speak, and thought about it.

"No need, the attitude of the Long family is no longer important now, let's not interfere with the specific command of the front line in the rear, so as not to cause unnecessary confusion, let Wan Yi and Zhao Si deal with it as appropriate." Li Xuanqing did not agree to Hu Xiaosi's proposal, but said with a smile: "It is too difficult to strategize and win a thousand miles, at least in terms of the current speed of intelligence transmission, it is basically uncertain." ”

Li Xuanqing didn't care about this matter, but asked Hu Xiaosi to send the information sent by Liu Yi back to the General Staff after reviewing, and at the same time asked: "Liu Yi, is there anything else going on with the General Staff before you come?" ”

"The chief of staff asked Minister Yang and Minister Wang to rush to Hexi to supervise the logistics." Liu Yi thought about it and said something that happened recently. But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuanqing and Hu Xiaosi glanced at each other and smiled: "It seems that the matter over there can basically be determined." Let's go to Hexi. ”

When Li Xuanqing and Junchen were about to leave for Hexi, the Ganzhou front line was also preparing for the final thing, and handed over all the logistics to Tuoba Siji, after which Wan Yi led his troops to leave Ganzhou for Yumen Pass.

Before, Shi Jian was stationed outside Yumen Pass, so there was no way to check the specific situation of the surroundings, but at this time, Wan Yi's army of more than 100,000 people came in a hurry, and naturally checked everything in the surrounding area of more than 100 miles, and the army was also stationed in three large camps around the vicinity of Yumen Pass, and in order to get close to a lake in the northwest of Yumen Pass, Wan Yi's army was basically arranged along the lake. At the same time, Zhang Sheng's troops also made contact with the brigade at this time.

"Marshal, the last general thinks that it is possible to send a partial army to attack from the vicinity of Juyanze, so that the Guiyi Army and the Longjia Army near Suzhou cannot continue to receive more support." As soon as Shi Jian's words were finished, Wan Yi shook his head, obviously he already knew Shi Jian's original intention, and tried to divide his troops to stop the Guiyi army from continuing to reinforce Suzhou.

"Wait a few more days, Xuan Yingwei estimates that it has reached a critical moment at this time, don't disrupt Zhao Si's deployment, according to the plan, they will be able to disrupt the situation in Suzhou in the next few days." Wan Yi shook his head, obviously holding his arm until Zhao Si came with the news.

At this time, Zhao Si in Suzhou City had already begun to contact the Huixin monk of Jietai Temple, and conveyed the news from the highest level of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Tiance Army, saying that this was actually a kind of pressure from Zhao Si to Long Xuan and others. After the Tiance Army pressed the border, the Guiyi Army fought against each other, and the Long family was caught between the two powerhouses, and it was indeed a catastrophe if they were not careful, which was also the reason why the head of the Long family himself directly retreated from the Guiyi Army step by step.

"What does the master mean is that Long Xuan asked to continue to hand over Suzhou to him after the war, and the Long family controls it?" Zhao Si scoffed at this unrealistic idea, and at this time, after getting Wan Yi to lead the troops into Yumen Pass, he didn't have to scruple anymore, and after being oppressed by the Tiance army behind him, Zhao Si's words said with a trace of scorching momentum: "Suzhou is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tiance army is ordered to march westward, how can it be possible to arbitrarily divide the land of the empire to others." And now Datang is different from the previous generation, so I also asked the master to tell the Long family that it takes wisdom to stand in line at the time of the replacement of the old and the new, and if you take a wrong step, you may bring your family to disaster. ”

The tough tone of Zhao Si's words made Zen Master Huixin a little overwhelmed, but the other party's attitude of leaving directly without hesitation still made him feel a little urgent, so after Zhao Si left the Jietai Temple, he also began to get up to find Long Xuan. However, unlike Long Xuan's anxiety at this time, after Zhao Si left the Jietai Temple, he came directly to an inconspicuous house next to Ju Yanze, which was the secret stronghold of Xuan Yingwei.

"The people of the dragon group immediately dispatched, three days at the latest, if the Long family is still undecided after three days, then directly arrest the head of the Long family, Long Xuan and others, and if they can't catch it, they will directly make a ruthless move. In addition, let the Flying Eagle Brigade attack the camp of the Long Family Army at that time, kill the main generals of the Long Family Army and the Guiyi Army, and make sure that they are leaderless before the arrival of the army. Zhao Si was actually very angry at this time, so he directly gave the final order.

Xuan Yingwei's side began to arrange according to the final plan, and Long Xuan's side also gasped after receiving the message from Zen Master Huixin, compared to Zen Master Huixin, who was just a monk who didn't know the meaning of Zhao Si's words, he suddenly understood that the other party had given up other thoughts, and if he still had to worry about the previous conditions, he was afraid that people would withdraw directly.

"My lord, what shall we do?" Zen Master Huixin was also taken aback by Long Xuan's explanation, and asked directly. Jietai Temple usually relies on the generosity of the Long family to be able to gain a foothold in Suzhou. Speaking of Buddhism in the northwest, after the prevalence of Buddhism, the rulers of various places wantonly used the influence of Buddhism to stabilize people's hearts and maintain their rule, so the Long family is no exception, there are seventy or eighty Buddhist temples of all sizes in Suzhou alone, and the Jietai Temple is one of them, but the Jietai Temple is mainly supported by the Longxuan lineage.

"It's not up to me alone to do the Lord. Master, after you go back, you will gather the monks of the temple to avoid it temporarily, but I am afraid that if this one is not good, the Suzhou War will break out again, and the Jietai Temple will inevitably be destroyed in the war. Long Xuan gave a rare explanation and left in a hurry, leaving only Zen Master Huixin standing in place.

In fact, when there was a move on the side of the Tiance Army, it was the same on the side of the Guiyi Army, but unlike the Xuanyingwei side, the Guiyi Army relied on the Long Family Army to be the leader, and after the head of the Long Family retreated, he focused on the integration of the strength of the Long Family Army. And after some of the radicals of the Long family escaped, the Guiyi Army was even more strict in the military camp.

In this way, it actually gave the Long family more opportunities to plan things outside the army, and after a large number of generals of the Long family army within the army were dismissed, although these people were closely guarded by the Guiyi army, Suzhou was the territory of the Long family after all, so these people were still connected by an invisible thread. And the ghostly characters hidden in the darkness have begun to reveal their final colors after receiving orders.

"You mean you're ready to do it? What the hell are those old things thinking? "Almost overnight, this voice was heard from many people's mansions, but I don't know whose house it is.

And the other important figure of the incident, Long Yi, the former commander of the Long Family Army, is facing a more embarrassing situation at this time, he originally did not want to participate in this struggle that determines the life and death of the family, but intentionally or unintentionally, under the tandem of those deposed generals, the banner of the Long Family Army gradually realized the role he played in this struggle.

"Is there no other way?" Long Yi was bored with this, but he couldn't do anything in the face of a group of former brothers.

"Commander, we can't retreat at this time, whether it's the Guiyi Army or the Tiance Army, as long as we have soldiers in our hands, we can have bargaining chips to negotiate with the other party, and if it really doesn't work, we can take a detour from the north bank of Juyanze and leave here, go to the Luntai grassland, or go back to our Longjia's hometown, Yanqi." The head of the former army of the Long family directly blocked Long Yi's retreat, and said indignantly: "The elders in power within the family are all weak and incompetent people, and their words are only afraid of bringing the family into the abyss." Once the Tiance Army and the Guiyi Army start a war, Suzhou will become a battlefield for both sides, and we will inevitably become the target of the pre-war elimination of both sides. ”

Long Yi was just about to speak, when there was a knock on the door outside, Long Yi gestured to a few people around him, and they quickly withdrew from a secret door behind him. At this time, Long Yi saw that it was Long Xuan, who had never crossed paths with him before, who opened the door and walked in.

"Long Yi has seen the sixth master." Long Xuan's seniority is a generation higher than Long Yi's, plus the previous mastery of commerce is actually the money bag of the Long family, and the army is a big user of money, although the two sides have never met, but Long Yi does not dare to snub this God of Wealth easily.

Long Xuan didn't have time to pay attention to the etiquette of the most outstanding person of the young generation of the Long family at this time, and after walking in, he sat down and asked directly, "Are there many people coming to you these days?" ”

Long Yi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Long Xuan meant, and asked, "What does the sixth master mean?" But before he finished speaking, Long Xuan spoke: "Don't talk about me about your thoughts, everyone else can see it, but at this time, the people of the Guiyi Army can't take care of you, and the head of the family helps you cover, so no one cares about you." However, as the Tiance Army is pressing forward step by step, the Guiyi Army will find you sooner or later, and you must be prepared in your heart. ”

"The Guiyi Army wants to find me?" As soon as Long Yi heard this sentence, he naturally understood what it meant, and after being silent for a long time, he asked: "This matter is related to the survival of the family, the sixth master has always been the family think tank, and now the head of the family is under the jurisdiction of the righteous army, I don't know what good strategies can save the family members." ”

"There is a way, but now I don't know if this path can save the family. But I know your approach won't work. There is no room for our Long family to exist on Yanqi's side for a long time. When Long Xuan saw Long Yi asking, he directly vetoed the method they had discussed before.

Long Xuan's decisiveness surprised Long Yi, the method he had worked hard these days was broken by the other party, but before he could speak, Long Xuan continued: "The top priority for the few of you is to find a way to contact my descendants of the Long family in the army, and wait for the order to act." After finishing speaking, he took out a jade seal-like dragon-shaped seal and said, "Now that the family master token is in my hands, you must act according to my orders, otherwise you will be a traitor to the Long family." ”

"It's been a few days to tell your gang of boys to give me a little peace." After Long Xuan finished speaking, he walked out on his own, making the group of radicals of the Long family who came out of the secret door look at each other.
