Chapter 541: Li Zhenzong's strategy

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help frowning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although Cao Yundui and Feng Shaoqing said that they were afraid of the enemy, what they said was true, Ah Guduo did have a large number of siege equipment in his hands, and they were the best in Huainan and Jiangnan, and even the equipment in his hands now was not as good as the other party.

However, because of this, his heart to destroy Aguduo is even greater!

Qin Huaiyu said: "No matter how many siege weapons he has, we can't be afraid!" ”

"Jiangnan has been lost, Huainan can no longer be lost, otherwise, my Tang Dynasty is in danger, the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be controlled in the hands of the Xiliang people, they are fully capable of dividing our country's land into two, do you know the consequences?"

"General, what is your plan?"

"I'm short of troops and food now, as a feudal official, can you do this well?"

"This..."

Qin Huaiyu was angry and said: "You don't have a plan, you can't get food, and you can't recruit soldiers, so what can you do?" ”

Cao Yundui said: "General, it is easy to recruit troops, but this grain is difficult, most of the grain merchants are in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are occupied by the Xiliang soldiers and looted... Alas. ”

Huainan is rich in salt, which Qin Huaiyu knows.

"But your huge Huainan, can't you get more than 100,000 loads of military rations? The emperor is now worried about the war in the north, and he definitely can't take care of this, and the matter of food and troops must be solved by ourselves. ”

"General, I have a solution." Feng Shaoqing, the governor of Yangzhou, stood up.

Qin Huaiyu asked anxiously, "Say?" What's the solution? ”

Feng Shaoqing said: "I, Huainan, have been repeatedly transferred from resources, so that now I can't be transferred again, and I was attacked by the Xiliang soldiers, and the oil well lamp is really dry; The subordinate means that you might as well mobilize troops, horses, grain, grass, and equipment from Henan Road and Shannan East Road, these two places are also close to my Huainan Road, and they can give the fastest help. ”

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly looked at the map.

In fact, before this, he also had this idea, but at that time, considering that these two defenses were a little weak and not suitable for transferring soldiers and horses, he gave up, but now Huainan is in danger, and he can't care so much.

"Henan Road, Shannan East Road...."

After finding that location on the map and thinking about it, Qin Huaiyu finally shook his head and said, "No, Shannan Dongdao is too far away from my Yangzhou, but it is close to Jiangnan, and the materials transported have to pass through Suzhou." ”

"Then Henan Province."

"Yes, Henan Road is west of my Huainan, that is, our rear, and we can mobilize troops, horses, grain and grass as much as possible, and it will not cause any consequences."

Qin Huaiyu said: "Henan Road, it is indeed in my rear, but he is close to Hedong Road, and in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, once I transfer the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, Henan Road is lost, our army will be alone here, and Hedong will also face danger, at that time, Guannei Road, Shannan East Road, Shannan West Road, and Kyoto will all be threatened, and it will also give the Northern Desert soldiers a good opportunity to go south.... ”

"This..." Cao Yundui and Feng Shaoqing were very speechless, Qin Huaiyu said too far, they all went to Kyoto, you must know that Huainan is still thousands of miles away from Kyoto.

"If a person has no foresight, he must have near-term worries..."

Qin Huaiyu said as he looked at the map seriously.

After a while, he added: "However, there has never been a war in Henan, so they can immediately store grain and recruit troops, and prepare to rush to help my Huainan." ”

"Cao Yundui, in my name... No, send someone to spread the emperor's will, let Henan Jiedu envoys, recruit 150,000 troops within three months, collect 100,000 quintals of grain, and transport them from Xuzhou and Haizhou to Yangzhou. ”

Cao Yunwan exclaimed: "General, this... The emperor has no will. ”

"What are you panicking about? If something happens, I'll be on the side, when will this be, how can I have time to go to Chang'an to ask for a decree? ”

"Yes."

Cao Yundui said: "Since the general has such words, then the humble post will be done." ”

"When these 150,000 soldiers and horses arrive, we can storm Suzhou, where there is a large amount of grain and grass for the enemy, and once it is critical, Aguduo will inevitably return to help, and at that time, I will be saved in Huainan."

Qin Huaiyu muttered to himself.

Although it was very quiet, Cao Yunwan and Feng Shaoqing still heard it, and the two of them also nodded, this may be Huainan's last hope.

***********

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin was very anxious and found his uncle Li Zhenzong.

"Uncle Huang, look at your good idea, and let the Northern Desert soldiers enter the Central Plains, how about now? More than a dozen cities have been lost in northern Xinjiang!! You should be fully responsible for this! ”

Looking at Li Zhenzong, who walked into the imperial study, Li Shimin couldn't help but scold.

But thinking of this, Li Zhenzong did not rebel, but did bad things with good intentions, and Li Shimin was reluctant to punish him. After all, now is the time to employ people, and after disposing of Li Zhenzong, who should he ask for?

Li Zhenzong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister really didn't expect that these people from the Northern Desert would be so untrustworthy and unrighteous, ignoring our alliance and blatantly launching a rebellion. ”

"It's the minister's fault, and the minister is willing to accept any punishment."

Li Shimin thought about it, sat down, and said, "Forget it, you are not at fault in this matter." ”

"Uncle Huang, now, there are wars in my Xiliang, Northern Desert, Jiangnan, and Huainan, especially the loss of Jiangnan, which has made the treasury empty, and it is impossible to recruit more soldiers to defend against the enemy, can you plan?"

After speaking, he looked at Li Zhenzong.

Li Zhenzong said: "Your Majesty, the minister does have a plan, but I am afraid that the emperor will not do it." ”

Ever since he knew that the Northern Desert soldiers had rebelled, he had been thinking of a way, and now he finally thought of a way, Li Shimin asked, and he hurriedly answered.

Li Shimin asked, "What's the plan?" Uncle Huang said quickly. ”

"Your Majesty, it's time to recall Lu Guogong, Xu Maogong and others, only they can turn the tide."

"I said that I can't go to the west and swear not to return to the army, do you want me to go back on my word?"

Li Zhenzong said: "Your Majesty, when is this coming, why do you care about those words?" Jiangnan, Huainan, and the Northern Desert are all in turmoil, and our Tang Dynasty soldiers are outnumbered, and it is difficult to be the enemy, and only the 300,000 troops in the hands of Lu Guogong can resist the rebels in the Northern Desert and Jiangnan and Xiliang. ”

"As for Xiliang, after we pacify the Northern Desert, Jiangnan, and Huainan, it is not too late to go to meet Zhou Gandang, and at that time, our Tang Army will be with the power of heaven and the power of Mount Tai, and Zhou Gandang will not be able to escape death."

Li Shimin stood up and walked around the imperial study, as if hesitating...

Li Zhenzong urged: "Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer, this is the best strategy to solve my Datang." ”

Li Shimin walked for a while and said: "Transferring troops from Xiliang to the Northern Desert is thousands of miles away, and if you think about it, this will not be completed in a few months." When I arrived, I was afraid that even Henan would be lost. ”

Li Zhenzong said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, he can let Qin Huaiyu lead the army to the Northern Desert, he only needs to cross Henan, and then pass through the pass, and he can arrive..." and Lu Guogong and Xu Maogong led the army to Jiangnan. ”

Li Shimin was stunned, as if he felt that it was feasible, but he had to think about such a big thing.

He didn't immediately agree to Li Zhenzong, but asked Li Zhenzong to step down...
