"Meng Rang?" At this time, when Nanfu was in a state of grief because of the death of the ancestor, in the Ganlu Hall of Chang'an, Li Er took the telegram he had just received and looked at the contents of the letter in surprise.

The name of Meng Rang is naturally no stranger to Li Er, the leader of the 'Righteous Army' that started in Liaodong, and after several tosses, he finally threw himself under Li Mi in Wagang.

If it weren't for later, because of the time in Luoyang, Meng Rang became greedy and took the lead in entering the city to rob, and he disappeared without a trace.

I'm afraid that now, I will follow Li Mi and surrender to Datang later!

It's just that what Li Eryou didn't expect was that this Meng Rang, who disappeared in Luoyang at the beginning, turned out to be those people who had been hiding in the shadows all along.

Moreover, what shocked Li Er the most was that it was incredible that this Meng Rang was not poor in donkey skills, and he was whimsical and wanted to persuade Zhao Chen to rebel.

Zhao Chen told Li Er everything clearly on the telegram, from how to meet Meng Rang, to how Meng Rang lured him, and even, Meng Rang hinted that there were many people's things, and told Li Er.

At this time, in the Ganlu Palace, not only Li Er, but also the eldest grandson Wuji and others below came to discuss the government, so after Li Er read the telegram, he casually gave the telegram to the eldest grandson Wuji and others.

"What do you think?" Li Er waited until a few people had finished reading it, then sat there, looked at the few people below and asked.

"This person is the scourge of my Datang!" Du Ruhui's temperament, among the ministers, is relatively straightforward. At this time, after reading the content of the telegram, when he heard Li Er's inquiry, he immediately said: "Your Majesty must eradicate it as soon as possible!" ”

"Not bad!" Heard Du Ruhui's words. Fang Xuanling on the side also interjected: "According to Chang'an Hou's words, this person must have secretly gathered a lot of people, and this is quite dangerous!" ”

"A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in an anthill!" Li Er heard Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's words, and nodded in agreement: "A lesson from the past, the rabble is not terrible. What I am afraid of is the destruction that the rabble will bring once it succeeds! ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" The eldest grandson Wuji also interjected at this time and said, "Fang Cai Weichen is actually thinking that this person clearly has a lot of foundation. Where will this foundation be? ”

According to the situation described by Zhao Chen on the telegram, the number of people Meng Rang obviously gathered secretly was not a few. Since there are so many people. Then there will be no base.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, since there are people and horses, it is naturally impossible to wander around, at least there will be a peaceful place, and so many people and horses can be placed.

Moreover, judging from Meng Rang's desperate search for Zhao Chen, Meng Rang's secret people. Not a small amount, otherwise. Meng Rang couldn't do it, and he opened his mouth directly to be food.

It's just that what makes the eldest grandson Wuji quite puzzled is that since Meng Rang has secretly gathered so many people, why has no local official found any clues so far?

"Isn't it where we see it?" Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling on the side gently twisted his beard under his chin, frowned slightly and said, "Since there are so many people, it is impossible for local officials not to find out!" ”

"Didn't Zhuqing forget that after Meng Rang left Liaodong, he went there?" Hearing the words of the three people below, Li Er frowned slightly, stared at Fang Xuanling and the others, and suddenly asked.

"JAC!" Being reminded by Li Er, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Li Er above and said: "At the beginning, Meng Rang was defeated in Liaodong, and then he led people to Jianghuai, and it was very soon, and tens of thousands of horses were gathered!" ”

"Hmm!" When Li Er heard this, he nodded, and then asked people to find a map of Jianghuai, spread it out on the imperial case, pointed to the Jianghuai River basin and said: "Therefore, I can be very sure that if Meng Rang really has many horses, then he must be hiding in the Jianghuai area!" ”

In the past dynasties, the north was heavy and the south was light, and the south was always regarded as the land of the barbarian bureaucrats, until the previous dynasty, Emperor Yang mobilized millions of people, worked the people and lost money, and dug a grand canal, which can be regarded as a little bit of improvement.

However, this improvement is only relative to the Yangtze River estuary in Yangzhou, as for most places in the south, which are still in a semi-developed state at this time.

The area is remote, and it used to be a familiar place for Meng Rang, so Li Er is very sure that Meng Rang's people are hiding in the Jianghuai area!

"In the Jianghuai area, the water is slender and horizontal, and the region is very complicated!" Hearing Li Er's affirmative tone, several people came to the imperial case, looking at the map above, Fang Xuanling couldn't help frowning, and whispered.

"But it's also a good place to hide soldiers?" Fang Xuanling's voice fell, and Du Ruhui on the side immediately twisted his beard, shook his head and said.

“… It's a bit of a hassle! Fang Xuanling frowned, his fingers slowly drew a circle along the Jianghuai area, and he nodded vigorously and said: "Meng Rangma, I don't know how many there are now, if we want to completely eliminate these disasters, how many soldiers and horses do we need to dispatch?" ”

"The problem is that in the Sixteen Guards Army, only the soldiers and horses in Jianghuai are familiar with water!" Without waiting for Li Er and the others to speak, Fang Xuanling continued: "With these soldiers and horses alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely eliminate these traitors!" ”

"The key is..."Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was silent on the side, also raised his head at this time, looked at a few people, and said with a solemn expression: "Jianghuai is too big!" ”

The entire Jianghuai River Basin covers too wide a wide area, and the actual control of the Tang Dynasty in this area is too low, even if the Jianghuai forces are exhausted, it will be difficult to completely eliminate these traitors.

"Your Majesty, doesn't the Marquis of Chang'an have any more suggestions?" When the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, the hall was quiet for a while, and they stared at the map on the imperial case silently, and after a long time, Du Ruhui raised his head, looked at Li Er, who was frowning, and asked.

"Lingnan is also in chaos now!" Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Er sighed slightly, knocked on the map with his fingers, looked at a few people and said, "The most important thing is that this kid doesn't want to get involved!" ”

On Zhao Chen's telegram to Li Er, he had already made it clear about Meng Rang, including their conversation at that time, and Meng Rang's hints, which had already been clearly revealed, that is, he didn't want to get involved.

What's more, now Lingnan is also a lot of things, Feng Huo rebelled, Feng An's attitude is unclear, Nanfu is the place that Zhao Chen built at the beginning, and it can be said that he paid his energy.

In addition, the hidden gate is in Nanfuzhou, so it is impossible for Zhao Chen to withdraw from Lingnan before the matter in Lingnan is completely resolved.

"I'm afraid that Chang'an Hou has to be involved in this matter!" Fang Xuanling frowned slightly, looked at the map on the imperial case, and when he raised it, he looked at Li Er and said: "Now it is clear that Meng Rang's specific troops, the best way is to let Meng Rang's men and horses take the initiative to appear!" ”

"Hmm!" When Du Ruyan on the side heard this, he also nodded very approvingly, looked at Li Er and said: "Gather and annihilate it, and wait for work with ease, it is not a bad strategy!" ”

"Since Meng Rang is whimsical, he plotted against Chang'anhou!" When the eldest grandson Wuji also heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he also interjected at this time: "Why don't we plan and let Chang'an Hou agree for the time being, and the lured Meng let the horses appear, and then come and fight them all!" ”

"The left servant shoots this very much!" When Fang Xuanling heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he immediately chimed in and said: "Jianghuai is too wide, after all, it is too wide, only the Marquis of Chang'an pretends to accept it, and the lured thief army can achieve the results once and for all!" ”

"Send someone over to find out the situation first!" Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Er frowned slightly, looked away from the map, looked at the three of them and said: "The Jianghuai River Basin is complex and difficult to understand, and I must understand it before I can make a decision!" ”

"Your Majesty has a point!" Hearing Li Er's words, Fang Xuanling and the others were stunned, and then bowed slightly to Li Er and said, "Then send someone to Jianghuai and other places in person to understand the specific situation over there, and then make plans!" ”

"Who do you think you want to send?" Hearing the three of them agree, Li Er raised his head and looked at the three people below and asked.

Who to send?

Hearing Li Er's words, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned on their faces, and the back looked at each other, and they were embarrassed for a while.

This kind of errand is obviously a thankless task, the Jianghuai River Basin, the situation is complex and difficult to understand, such a large place, if you want to find out the situation, it is not easy to say.

Moreover, the other party is still a group of traitors, if you want to find out the situation, you must go deep into the tiger's den, it is estimated that if one is not good, then it is not a matter of negligence.

Obviously, it was an adventurous errand, and at this time, the three of them, who dared to recommend someone to go without authorization, in case something happened at that time, this basin would not be able to pick it if they wanted to.

The three Tang Pillars, who were still talking eloquently just now, sighed one by one in a moment's effort, as if they had encountered something difficult that they had never encountered in their lives.

At the beginning, Li Er was still looking at the three of them expectantly, however, after waiting for a long time, he saw that the three of them all looked like they were sighing for a long time, Li Er's eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he snorted dissatisfiedly.

“… This trip to Jianghuai must be a resourceful figure! His Majesty was angry, the consequences were very serious, the three people who were originally silent immediately became calm, or Fang Xuanling was the first to raise his head and said without words.

"Not bad!" As soon as Fang Xuanling spoke, Du Ruhui next to him also spoke: "Fang Cai Weichen is also thinking, such a resourceful person, and if there is someone who is not in an important position, will there be that colleague?" ”

As he spoke, Du Ruhui's eyes, as if inadvertently, glanced at the map of Jinmai Mountain hanging on the wall, turned his back on Li Er, and winked at the eldest grandson Wuji.

“… Xu Jingzong? The eldest grandson Wuji saw Du Ruhui winking at him, and his eyes couldn't help but follow Du Ruhui's gaze, looking at the picture, and then, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he suddenly blurted out without thinking about it.

However, as soon as the words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately reacted, his mouth opened silently, and the next moment, his eyes glared at Du Ruhui viciously.

“… Ahh As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Fang Xuanling had already preemptively stroked his palm and laughed: "Xu Jingzong is both resourceful and resourceful, and he happens to not hold an important position, but he is still thoughtful and thoughtful!" ”

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words came out, the cheeks of the eldest grandson Wuji were twitching vigorously, his mouth moved silently, and a look of 'let's see' flashed in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
