"Haha, lord, this Xue Yang really lives up to expectations, he is the first to complete the task on the three battlefields, it is not easy for more than a month." Cen Tianshi's hearty laughter came from the General Staff Building of the Chang'an Base Camp.

"Is the lord planning to transfer the Southern Front Army Group to other directions?" Hu Xiaosi took the information in his hand and frowned and said, "Chen Fan is probably a little difficult in Danzhou. This time, the Plague bewitched many grassland tribes to accompany the battle, and it is not sure that hundreds of thousands of people will really come out. And they first targeted Yelu Hanxiong. ”

Li Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept the map of the Northeast spread out by Liu Xuan on the side, and frowned: "It seems that this time the Huangjiasi is trying to eliminate the Northeast Yao, Bohai and Goryeo. ”

"Do you want Tashi to stabilize the tribe north of Yin Mountain?" Cen Tianshi frowned and said: "Considering the geographical factors, if we allow the Huang Jiasi to capture the Yan Ya and the Bohai State, then the power of the Huang Jia will inevitably rise sharply, and when we are exhausted from fighting with Zhu Quanzhong, it is very likely that they will have a covetous heart, so that the entire northern defense line will inevitably contain the strength of our army, which is not conducive to the next step of our unification of Jiangnan." ”

"Then we can't be allowed to fight for others, right? Moreover, the current strength of our army has been used to the limit, even if Xue Yang is transferred north, there will be no more than 50,000 people who can spare his hands. 50,000 people in the northern grasslands may not play a big role. Hu Xiaosi said with a frown.

"It's already May, what should we do now, my lord? The whole situation is linked. If the main forces of our army are unable to open the situation in a short period of time, I am afraid that the whole situation will be dragged in an unfavorable direction. Cen Tianshi was stunned by the indication of this full map, rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly.

"And the most terrible thing is to estimate the changes in the north, and the Xuanwu Army should also know about it. I guess that in the next step, the Xuanwu Army will definitely not be able to hold out, and wait for the main force of our army to go north to fight with Huangjiasi, and send troops to Youzhou at the most critical time to attack us with Huangjiasi. This is the most fatal situation, when the time comes, we will face a two-front battle, and the slightest carelessness will inevitably lose the whole game. Hu Xiaosi smiled bitterly: "I feel that Xie Tong is now adjusting his deployment, this person is extremely good at planning the overall situation, so he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity." ”

"Then can we implement the strategy of defending the south and attacking the north, first concentrate the main force to go north, and then go south to solve Zhu Quanzhong?" Cen Tianshi thought about it: "The northern front stretches for thousands of miles, from east to west, and almost borders the hinterland of my Tiance Mansion, which is the trouble of the heart. ”

"Liu Xuan, immediately draft an order, let Xue Yang lead the main force of the Southern Front Group Army to immediately go north to join Wan Yi's Western Front Headquarters, and then replace the Modao Battalion, and he will lead the third battalion and the Modao Battalion to Xiazhou, receive the war horses from the recruits, and the whole army will set off for Danzhou after changing their clothes, so that the Guards Battalion and the directly subordinate battalion will immediately set off for Jizhou. We don't care what others do, the northern front is the front we must stabilize. ”

"In this way, Chen Fan has concentrated almost 300,000 troops all the way, and the lord is determined to take the north in one fell swoop?" Cen Tianshi wondered: "If we really cripple the Uighurs, maybe the Uighurs in the Western Regions who have been suppressed by the Wolves will start to move again." ”

"Now I can't take care of so much, the lesser of the two powers. Xiao Si, you asked Zhao Si to contact Yang Xingmi and let him attack the southern line of the Xuanwu Army with his camera to contain Xie Tong's gaze. Li Xuanqing shook his head and said.

"If there is a war on two fronts, let's start a war on two fronts, the Tiance Army has never been afraid of war since its establishment, in this case, it is actually quite cost-effective to solve the north and south at one time." Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be no problems with Tiancheng and Houchun on the southern line, and I will personally press the formation on the northern line." ”

"My lord is going at this time? Qiaoxi is almost seven months pregnant, right? As soon as Cen Tianshi heard that Li Xuanqing was going out in person, he hurriedly got up to stop him.

"Sir, don't panic, Qiaoxi is fine." Before Cen Tianshi's words fell, he walked in coincidentally outside the door and said with a smile. Qiaoxi rarely came to the General Staff Building, but this time because Li Xuanqing stayed here for a day and a night, Qiaoxi suddenly became suspicious, so after thinking about it, he came over to take a look, and just heard Cen Tianshi's words.

"Big brother, go quickly, it's still more than three months. Sister Feixue also came back, and she said that she was going to accompany me to give birth. Qiaoxi smiled. This time, Li Xuanqing suddenly decided to go on the expedition, and something big must have happened.

Qiaoxi's words made Li Xuanqing's heart ache, and his face became gentle, and Hu Xiaosi next to him waved his hand at the others when he saw this, and led people out.

"Big brother, Qiaoxi can't accompany you on the expedition this time." Qiaoxi walked over and gently tidied up Li Xuanqing's clothes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, so many people here in Chang'an City will take care of Qiaoxi." ”

"It's about the same time to come back from this fight. Don't worry, the grassland war is mainly fast, wait for me to come back. Li Xuanqing hugged Qiaoxi and said with a smile: "Wait for me to come back and name the child." ”

"Okay, there should be a few days left for the big brother to go on the expedition, how about we go out for a walk?" Qiaoxi also laughed when she saw Li Xuanqing's smiling face, and since she was pregnant, Qiaoxi's figure has also become a little fatter, and she doesn't look so thin, but she has a unique charm.

After the two finished talking about it, Li Xuanqing accompanied Qiaoxi to walk around Chang'an City for a few days, and then went to Furong Garden, which also had a rare time. Qiaoxi also likes to keep such a simple and ordinary life with Li Xuanqing, but the two of them came to this era out of thin air, shouldering unimaginable responsibilities for ordinary people, and this chaotic world needs the two to work together to calm down.

"Big brother, this expedition is probably about to be pacified in the Central Plains, right? We can also build a dragon boat to go to Jiangnan along the canal at that time. Qiaoxi and Li Xuanqing sat on a painting boat and swayed in the wind in the Qujiang River, and smiled.

"Well, almost. Moreover, Zhu Quanzhong also built the Luoyang section of the canal for us, so that we can visit almost half of China from north to south. Li Xuanqing was also interested in Qiaoxi's talk and said with a smile.

"So Emperor Yang of Sui is still very good, at least he left a Grand Canal and left it for eternity." Qiaoxi leaned on Li Xuanqing and sat down with a smile.

Li Xuanqing held Qiaoxi in his arms, quietly listening to the breeze around him, feeling the rare leisure and warmth in this weather.

At this time, Zhu Quanzhong, the base camp of the Xuanwu Army, was stunned by the intelligence from the north after receiving the annihilation of Zhang Guihou and Wang Yanzhang's entire army on the southern front.

However, Zhu Quanzhong was stunned, it didn't mean that Xie Tong and Zheng Fan were also stunned, the two looked at each other and saw each other's thoughts, Xie Tong threw Zhu Quanzhong to Zheng Fan, and then took several other strategists to start planning the latest changes in the north. The 150,000 Iron Cavalry of the Hundred Thousand Warriors plus the cavalry of the vassal steppe tribes were the force that made any Central Plains prince despair. And this force has now been successfully pulled into his own camp, if he doesn't maximize the power of these people, then the Xuanwu Army really can't turn over.

"The military advisor has come up with a great idea." Xie Tong's actions also frightened Zhu Quanzhong, his chief strategist has not seen this kind of behavior for a long time, but whenever there is such a move, it is the Xuanwu Army that has reached a critical moment. So after seeing Xie Tong's actions, he hurriedly put down all his emotions and walked to Xie Tong's side and asked tentatively.

"Lord, immediately send an order for Ge Cunzhou to return to his original station, don't provoke the Tiance Army, this time we will first sit and watch the battle between the Tiance Army and the Huangjiasi, and then choose to send troops to Shenzhou when they are both defeated, and take the command center of the Tiance Army on the Eastern Front in one fell swoop to complete the counterattack." Xie Tong said without hesitation: "The situation is urgent, and the lord should personally go to the northern front." ”

In a hurry, Xie Tong couldn't care about it, and now that Zhu Quanzhong had been proclaimed emperor, he directly used his previous title and said: "If my expectations are correct, Li Xuanqing will definitely not let the people of Huangjia go south, and will inevitably mobilize the main force to go north to fight with Huangjiasi, so that the number of Tiance troops on the north bank of the Yellow River will inevitably be greatly reduced." What we have to do now is to sit back and watch the success or failure, and strike at the right time to seize the victorious results of the Tiance Army. ”

"Your Majesty, what Lord Xie said is extremely true, this battle is the battle of my Daliang and Li Xuanqing's gambling on the national fortune, and at this time, the people of the Huangjia Dynasty are actually dividing the national fortune of Daliang and Tiance Mansion, so they must defeat their vital power in one fell swoop when both of them are defeated, so as to be able to absorb the luck of both." Compared with Xie Tong, Zheng Fan's words are very flexible, but he still emphasizes Xie Tong's opinion.

"It's okay, then I will drive the expedition in person, go to the front line in Texas, and sit in the rear for my Liang soldiers." The words of the two strategists made Zhu Quanzhong also calm down, nodded and smiled, "The two military advisors worked hard to go to the front line with me." ”

The speed of the Xuanwu Army's base camp was very fast, but what Zhu Quanzhong didn't expect was that at this time, his southern front had been targeted by a new force.

In Luzhou City, where Huainan Jiedu made Yang Xingmi's governance, Zhao Si also officially visited Yang Xingmi and began to formally contact the other party on behalf of Tiance Mansion. Compared with other festivals and towns, Yang Xingmi is actually from the grassroots, and he has always been very concerned about the suffering of the people at the bottom since he took the throne, and he is naturally close to the policies of Tiance Mansion in this regard, and even many of the policies he implemented in Huainan and other places are also based on the national policy of Tiance Mansion. And the great war that has been waged in the north by the Tiance Army and the Xuanwu Army can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, once the two are separated, they will inevitably be the new rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty. Compared with the Xuanwu Army, Yang Xingmi is full of curiosity about the Tiance Army and Li Xuanqing, this border army that rose on the border of Fengzhou can quickly become the first prince in the north in just three or four years, and a series of policies in its political, military and economic methods Yang Xingmi has carefully studied, many of which are unheard of, but the implementation has brought unexpected results.

Moreover, at this time, Yang Xingmi did not have as many self-reliant thoughts as he did later, and he was still very yearning for the unified Central Plains Dynasty, so after meeting Zhao Si, the envoy of the Tiance Army who had dealt with several times before, the two had a secret conversation all night. Early the next morning, Zhao Si left Luzhou, and Yang Xingmi began to gather his civil and military forces and began to negotiate a plan to send troops to conquer other areas of Huainan. For Yang Xingmi's regime, the direction of expansion could be east, west, north and south, to the east could conquer Sun Ru on the coast of the Yellow Sea, to the south was Chizhou, Xuanzhou and other places, to the west Shuzhou, Huangzhou and Qizhou, and to the north was the territory of the Xuanwu army. And what Yang Xingmi announced was precisely to the north and participate in the competition with the Xuanwu Army.

As soon as this statement almost made his civil and military forces collapse, the two strong forces in the north fought each other, and all the princes in the world knew that this was a big battle against the Central Plains, although the Huainan Army was considered a strong army in the Huaisi region, but it was still a little worse than these big princes, and they rushed to participate in it, and they didn't even have scum left.

"Lord, did the Tiance Army send someone?" Li Shenfu, the number one warrior under Yang Xingmi, asked tentatively.

Looking at the news of his number one general's ghostly inquiry, Yang Xingmi nodded angrily and said: "Everyone has seen the journey of the Tiance Army in the past few years, and what the Tiance General Li Xuanqing has done in the north is also obvious to all. Wasn't the purpose of our army also so that the people of the world could have a way to live? Now in this world, those who can have this ambition and mind, except for ourselves, are also the Tiance Army. Since the other party is doing better than us, what reason do we have to refuse to cooperate with them? ”

Yang Xingmi is not wrong about this, Huainan has fought countless battles in recent years, and the people are miserable, but the merchants under the Tiance Mansion frequently haunt Huainan, collect local specialties, and transport grain and salt from other places to help Yang Xingmi stabilize the place, which can be said to be a great contribution. This Huainan Festival can be seen from top to bottom, and many of them have a good relationship with these businessmen.

"According to the news from the envoy of the Tiance Army, the grassland tribe Huangjiasi raised more than 100,000 troops to invade the south, and the main force of the Tiance Army needs to go north to pacify the external troubles, and the suppression of the Xuanwu Army is insufficient, I hope we can send troops to contain the sight of the Xuanwu Army, so that Zhu Quanzhong will not be able to provoke an attack at this time, and give them time to defeat the grassland cavalry." Yang Xingmi is nearly forty this year, but he is tall and looks powerful, standing in the center of the conference hall and continuing: "In fact, although everyone has been doing their own things for many years, in the final analysis, we are still subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, and we are all descendants of China. I, Yang Xingmi, don't have the same mind as Zhu Quanzhong, and I want to be the emperor myself, but I must not let the barbarians be bullied after I wait for the Huaxia Emperor. Therefore, I decided to go out to assist the Tiance army in fighting against Zhu Quanzhong, a thief who killed the emperor and usurped the country. ”

Yang Xingmi's words made the civil and military forces around him feel a burst of enthusiasm, and Li Shenfu and other generals even stepped forward directly to ask for battle. Among the crowd, only the strategist Dai Yougui looked at Yang Xingmi's expression and nodded secretly, knowing that his lord had already made a plan.

And Yang Xingmi's actions undoubtedly added a new color to this Central Plains war. As a result, the whirlpool formed by the entire Central Plains War was basically formed, and all the princes involved in it had to use all their strength to win the war.
