Li Yuanji's response has announced his answer, and the purpose of this trip has basically been achieved.

But after all, Li Si is just close to Li Xiaogong's side, how could Li Xiaochang not be on guard against such an important matter? Even if it is the person closest to him, this matter must not be easily revealed.

"It's not clear who else is small in the court, but King Yi'an asked the small one to tell the king that as long as the army arrives close to Chang'an City, he can directly control the entire Taiji Palace." Li Si told Li Xiaochang's original words.

"You go and tell King Nghe An, if he hasn't arrived after he arrives in Chang'an, then you don't need to come!" Who are the friends? Li Yuanji already has an answer, he has already remembered who Li Xiaochang is?

So he stopped saying so many non-nutritious words, but directly told him his bottom line.

Even if there is no help from Li Xiaochang, he can still push to Chang'an, Li Xiaochang came over at this time, to put it bluntly, it is the icing on the cake, but it is dispensable, and he is not rare.

But I have to say that Li Xiaochang's abacus is quite good.

At this time, knowing that it is the icing on the cake, he still has to accept it, after the matter is completed, the reward given to him must also be ranked first, everything must always pay attention to a first come, first come, often the first to stand up to support, either the worst, or the most profitable, this is the rule.

I must not break this rule, otherwise I really can't play it later, unless I go state by state.

Sending Li Si away, Li Yuanji racked his brains to recall who was involved in Chang'an City when Li Xiaochang rebelled in history.

Maybe the rebellion was not successful, maybe Li Xiaochang's reputation is not big, and the reputation of the people involved is not big, and it is just a passing mention in history, and he did not deliberately remember it, not as famous as Li Yi.

I vaguely remember that there seems to be a general, but I have a deep memory of the eldest grandson Anye, the general of the prison gate, mainly because this is the elder brother of the eldest grandson Wuji, and after the rebellion, there was the intercession of the eldest grandson queen, and all the people involved were executed, but he was exiled, so the memory is deeper.

The eldest grandson Anye was arrested by the case of the eldest grandson Wuji's rebellion, but soon after he left Chang'an, the eldest grandson Anye was reinstated, and there was no news of the beheading of the eldest grandson Wuji.

As for the reason, it has been confirmed that the case of the rebellion of the eldest grandson Wuji was framed by himself, and the most direct reason is that when he was completely cleaned up later, he found the tunnel buried by the explosion, and along the tunnel, he accidentally found another buried tunnel, and that tunnel was the one that led to the Qi Palace.

Although it is buried, the buried soil is different from the original soil, and the burial is a little loose, which can be seen at a glance.

Originally, it was to sit on the authentic path of the rebellion of the eldest grandson Wuji, but now it saved his life, when Li Yuanji knew the news, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but now it doesn't matter.

……

In February, the weather is still very cold, but there are more and more sunny days, the Yellow River has gradually thawed, and five pontoon bridges are located on the river, colliding with the melting ice from time to time.

In order to ensure the durability of the pontoon, some people had to be sent to stand at the bow of the boat and push away the huge ice with wooden sticks to prevent the wooden boat from being damaged and affecting the use of the pontoon.

The army is making the final preparations before the expedition, and tomorrow it will be out of camp and head south, and there is still a lot to do, such as checking equipment and so on.

This was also the busiest time for the scouts, as several cavalry could be seen returning from the south every day, and more cavalry could be sent to the south to reconnoitre.

The Ob had already led 10,000 cavalry south, and it didn't matter how fast they were, they would wait on the other side of the desert and continue south when the army approached.

"The imperial army has arrived in Xiazhou five days ago, but they have no plans to continue to go north, and the leader is Wei Chi Jingde." The old gun has also become the busiest person, constantly receiving information, summarizing, reporting, and then distributing tasks, although two groups of about 200 scouts have been trained, but the number is far from enough, the old gun can only pick out a few hundred good cavalry from the army to serve as scouts temporarily.

"How many are there?" Li Yuanji hurriedly lay down in front of the sand table.

"There are three legions, but I feel like the actual strength will be a little more." The old gun took out three small flags and planted them in Xiazhou, from their side, it was an inverted triangle, such a tactical intention is obvious, that is, let you attack the front, and then the legions on both sides will be sandwiched, if the troops are enough, you can arrange a legion to be stationed a little farther away, and after the battle begins, go around the back directly, and completely wrap this dumpling.

After planting the small flag, the old gun continued: "The mission to pursue Li Jing has completely failed, because the scouts saw a large number of bomb trucks in Xiazhou, at least a thousand, it should be that the imperial court got the news and made a response." However, they were not seen conducting live-fire exercises, so the performance of the bomb delivery vehicle is not known for the time being. ”

Li Yuanji nodded secretly, Li Jing is not a dry eater, and it is reasonable that the pursuit failed, and there is nothing surprising.

"What about the structure of the bomb truck?" Li Yuanji is most concerned about the other party's bomb throwing vehicle, although his own side has been improved, the range can reach 500 steps, that is, about 400 meters, while the old-fashioned bomb delivery vehicle has a range of only about 200 steps, and the better ones are only 400 steps.

The firing range of the rocket artillery can be adjusted to increase or decrease the loading of the propellant, up to 1,000 steps, while the current standard version is about 800 steps, which just forms a three-dimensional full-coverage strike mode with the bomb delivery vehicle.

"It should have been improved, but it doesn't seem to have changed much from the previous ones." The old gun was a little hesitant, judging from the appearance alone, it was difficult to distinguish the performance of the bomb delivery vehicle, let alone a long-distance observation? The result is even more ambiguous.

After looking at Wei Chi Jingde's layout for a while, Li Yuanji smiled: "It seems that Wei Chi Jingde has also learned a lot of things by his side, at least he knows where to set the battlefield is more appropriate." ”

……

"The north of Xiazhou is sparsely populated and a desert, if we leave Xiazhou and go north, we can certainly leave the battlefield from the city, but it will also increase our supply lines. Now that we are guarding Xiazhou, the supplies behind can keep up with it continuously, on the other hand, the supply of King Qi needs to cross the vast desert, and the difficulty of transportation will undoubtedly increase several times, across a desert, how easy is it to transport tens of thousands of troops' materials? After the two armies fight, we can send elite cavalry to cut off the supply of the King of Qi, as long as we can withstand it here, the King of Qi will be defeated in this battle! Outside Xiazhou City, Wei Chi Jingde pointed to the vast desert in front of him and said.

"But what if we can't hold on? After losing so many soldiers here, a hundred miles south is the hinterland of Guanzhong, and the king of Qi can approach Chang'an like a no-man's land. The eldest grandson Wuji pointed to the south and argued.

The two insisted on their own words, and Wei Chi Jingde insisted on deploying with his own ideas, without any position, but he was confirmed by the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sent to the front line by Li Shimin, that he should go north and let the war get away from here as much as possible.

And the eldest grandson Wuji's point of view is that the farther away the battlefield, even if it fails, the imperial court can have a few more days to prepare for the next blockade, unlike here, once defeated, the Qi army will advance at full speed, and the troops can come to Chang'an City in a few days.

"King Qi, the old man knows better than you, even if the old man thinks the most secure arrangement, it is difficult to know it in his heart, let alone you, the general of the defeated army?" Wei Chi Jingde said with some disgust, although it was proved that the eldest grandson Wuji was wronged, but some of this person's subsequent practices were very disgusting, and he repeatedly instigated Li Shimin to kill the family of King Qi, if it wasn't for Princess Gaomi to stop him with all his might, King Qi's family would have been slaughtered again.

And blocked the revenge of the eldest grandson Wuji, Princess Gaomi's husband Duan Lun can be regarded as suffering, and Duan Lun can only resign from all his positions, stay at home behind closed doors, and see no one.

Although Wei Chi Jingde, who had a close relationship with King Qi, did not stand up against it, he gradually distanced himself from the villain of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"You ......" the eldest grandson wanted to scold people without jealousy, but before the big war, he still tried to convince himself to focus on the overall situation: "Even if there is no chance of winning, why do you have to arrange it like this?" ”

"The old man has his own old man's truth!" Wei Chi Jingde snorted coldly, turned his head and asked Li Jing, who was speechless: "Pharmacist, do you say that the old man's arrangement is reasonable or is the idea of the eldest grandson and the old thief more reliable?" ”

Li Jing, who went to Chang'an alone to ask for guilt, was indeed scolded by Li Shimin, but after his anger subsided, he had to continue to use Li Jing.

The news he brought was so important, no one thought that Li Yuanji would come up with that kind of weapon that destroyed the world, and even Li Shimin, who had installed the internal response, did not know this in advance.

As the only Li Jing who has fought with Li Yuanji, although Li Shimin said that he was not at ease to let him continue to lead the troops, it was no problem to talk to him about the threat of the Qi army, and he could only remind Wei Chi Jingde what aspects to pay attention to to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

In the face of King Qi's southward movement this time, Li Shimin also worked hard to mobilize the strength of eight legions in one go, led by Wei Chi Jingde with three legions in front, Cheng Zhijie led two legions in the back, Li Xiaogong, Zhang Gongjin, Li Daozong and others each led a legion to support, with eight legions to deal with King Qi's 80,000 people, twice the strength, but most people still have no confidence in their hearts.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Jing also completely changed his character, and the whole person became a little taciturn, facing Wei Chi Jingde's inquiry, Li Jing just shook his head: "He gives me the feeling that you will never know what equipment he has in his hand that you don't expect, and you will never think about what will happen next......"
