Li Xiaoyi's 300,000 troops could not gather in one place, and the Yangzhou army had already figured out that Li Xiaoyi personally led 100,000 elite soldiers to garrison Junzhou City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the deputy general Ma Jingchen were stationed near Wudang Mountain on the south bank of the Han River, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were arranged in Gucheng by Lei Renzhi and other generals.

The three places happen to be in the shape of a pocket, and they are horns of each other, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Xue Ne picked up the teacups, books and other things in front of everyone, and simply arranged them up: "The three places seem to support each other to form a pocket array, but in fact, because the Han River runs through the entire territory of Junzhou, Ma Jingchen's department is blocked by the Han River on the south bank, and there is a time lag in contact with Li Xiaoyi's Chinese army and Lei Renzhi's Gucheng defenders. ”

Cheng Wuting added: "Li Xiaoyi seems to have 300,000 troops, but the troops are scattered in three places, and the troops stationed in various places are equal to the strength of our Yangzhou army, or even slightly inferior, and the only chance for our army to win is to break them one by one, and not give Li Xiaoyi the opportunity to coordinate the use of troops." ”

Tang Ao saw Xue Ne using a belt to represent Han Shui, pointed to the tea cup representing Ma Jingchen's department and asked, "Two generals, is there a way to swim without attacking, or to win a small victory to force Ma Jingchen's men and horses to retreat to Junzhou?" ”

"Our army can occupy the heights of Wudang Mountain first, condescendingly oppress Ma Jingchen's department, and then select nearly 10,000 elite soldiers to pretend to be the main force of the Yangzhou army, maybe we can confuse Ma Jingchen and scare him back to Junzhou."

Tang Ao pointed to a book on behalf of Lei Renzhi again, picked it up and put it in Junzhou: "In the same way, it should not be difficult to force Lei Renzhi's troops back to Junzhou, as long as the 300,000 troops are pressed in Junzhou, and then Li Xiaoyi's supply of grain and grass is cut off, Li Xiaoyi will inevitably be defeated here." ”

Tang Zhiqi, Li Jingyou and others insisted on taking Luzhou directly and welcoming Li Xian into the Yangzhou army.

There is a way to be high, it is better to save the driver!

However, Tang Ao's idea was also ruthless enough, if cutting off Li Xiaoyi's grain route was successful, Li Xiaoyi's 300,000 army would definitely cause a mutiny in the army as long as he was short of food for more than three days.

The plan is as ruthless as starving food, and everyone couldn't help but look a little strange when they looked at Tang Ao, and after they found that Tang Ao didn't know how to use to uproot Beiluguan, the whole person was a little silent.

Of course, in the eyes of some people, it is a yin owl, which makes people very uncomfortable.

After all, Li Jingye was the commander in chief of the army, and when Tang Ao finished speaking, he looked around and said, "Do you still have any objections to Tang Shilang's strategy?" If not, the officer will divide his troops and send generals. ”

Li Jingye agreed with Xue Ne and Cheng Wuting's idea of taking the initiative, but a cadre of civil servants strongly opposed it, and he relied on the support of civil officials, so it was naturally difficult to express his position easily.

Tang Ao's words refuted the naïve ideas of Tang Zhiqi, Li Zongchen and others, and Li Jingye immediately struck while the iron was hot and prepared to use troops against Li Xiaoyi.

Li Xiaoyi was not only the Li Tang clan, but also won two battles with Tubo and was known as a famous general.

But Li Jingye didn't take Li Xiaoyi in his eyes, the two were very familiar with each other, and Li Jingye knew Li Xiaoyi's character well.

As long as he loses a few battles, even if it is only a small defeat, it will make him flee for his life in horror, and Tang Ao's strategy of starving food may not be used.

Under Li Jingye's tribe, Wei Chi Zhao and Xue Chang led 30,000 troops to Wudang Mountain, trying to force Ma Jingchen to retreat and return to Junzhou.

Wei Chao and Xiahou Zhan led 20,000 troops to detour to Gucheng, oppressed Lei Renzhi's troops north of Gucheng, and looked for an opportunity.

Li Jingye led the rest of the troops and horses to take Junzhou directly, and while putting pressure on Li Xiaoyi, he forced Li Xiaoyi to transfer the soldiers and horses on the flank back to defend Junzhou, so as to achieve the idea of the Yangzhou army gathering its troops in one place.

After Li Jingye finished dividing the troops, he looked at Tang Ao with a smile on his beard: "Lord Tang is still serving as the supervisor of the army this time, I don't know which side Lord Tang wants to go to supervise the army?" ”

Tang Ao looked at the messy "map" on the table, and his finger fell on the location of Wudang Mountain: "Let's go to General Wei Chi's army!" There is the Five Dragons Temple built by Emperor Taizong on Wudang Mountain, and I hope it will not be destroyed by the war. ”

It is false to avoid the Five Dragons Temple being damaged by the war, just in case it is true.

According to the news that Tang Ao got from Zhang Guolao, there were also cultivators of the Tang Dynasty living in seclusion on Wudang Mountain, the most well-known being Sima Chengzhen and Du Guang.

I don't know if the two of them really took refuge in Wu Zetian, if they become enemies, then the two cultivators will pose a huge threat to the Yangzhou army.

Therefore, Tang Ao went to the forward supervision army of Wei Chi Zhao and Xue Chang, not because of his close relationship with the two, but Tang Ao did not realize what kind of thoughts this move would cause in the eyes of others.

Wei Chi Zhao and Xue Chang were the most excited, and Tang Ao, as the supervising army, not only did not meddle in the arrangement of the art of war, but also took the lead, which was very morale-boosting.

Moreover, there have long been rumors in the army, as long as Tang Shilang supervises the army, no matter what battle he fights, he will ensure that he will succeed and win a complete victory.

When the Yangzhou army slowly approached Li Xiaoyi's army, Li Xiaoyi was not idle in the palace of Junzhou City.

Late at night, the final general was still convened, and as Tang Ao expected, the issue of food and grass for the 300,000 army was the top priority.

Li Xiaoyi looked at Xue Kegou, the envoy of the branch: "Lord Xue, when will the second batch of grain and grass be escorted to Junzhou?" The grain stored in the army is only enough for ten days to eat, and once the grain road is robbed, our army is in danger! ”

Xue Ke bowed and said: "General, rest assured, the second batch of 100,000 stone grain and grass has arrived today, and the official can use the head of the item to guarantee that there will be no problems. ”

Li Xiaoyi heard that the food and grass were worry-free, and his brows stretched slightly: "Have Ma Jingchen and Lei Renzhi's movements returned today?" The Yangzhou army still has no movement? Have you been stuck in the same place? ”

"According to the detailed report, there were serious differences in the Yangzhou army, some people advocated marching into Luzhou to meet Wang Jia, and some people proposed to take Luoyang by detouring west, and the traitor Li Jingye had a difficult choice, and the hearts of the whole army fluctuated......

As the palace attendant Wei Yuanzhong, who was the supervisor of the army, said with a slight smile: "The traitor Li Jingye is conceited that he is a famous general, and he can fight well, but I didn't expect it to be just Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, the longer the delay, the faster the Yangzhou army will be destroyed, and I will wait for the official to enter the knighthood in front of me!" ”

Li Xiaoyi glanced at Wei Yuanzhong, if Li Jingye was really so easy to deal with, would he choose to wait for work?

The 300,000-strong army dealt with the Yangzhou army of more than 100,000 people, and it was nice to say that it was easy to wait for labor, but in fact, Li Xiaoyi did not dare to fight with the Yangzhou army.

Because he didn't dare to fail, even if it was a small defeat, the impeachment of those traitors in the court was just afraid that it would be sent to the Queen Mother like snowflakes!

Li Xiaoyi, as the Li Tang clan, is very sensitive to politics, and Wu Zetian said that the emperor is imperative, and cutting off dissidents and squeezing out the clan is the first move.

He was appointed as the general, the head of the Yangzhou Road march, and he still couldn't understand the deep meaning behind it, but once the army was defeated, he would never be the only one who lost his head.

Wei Yuanzhong saw that Li Xiaoyi was silent, and continued: "General, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the rebel Li Jingye is doing the opposite, I believe that everyone in the world is waiting for the news of the defeat of this thief, why doesn't the general lead troops to attack?" The general knows that there are already officials in the court who are dissatisfied with the general's leisurely treatment, right? ”

Li Xiaoyi didn't dare to offend this military supervisor, Wei Yuanzhong's words were his own suggestion, or the thoughts of the Queen Mother, Li Xiaoyi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to be at the mercy of him militarily, so he dispersed the generals under the pretext that it was too late.

Li Xiaoyi returned to the study, and Su Xiaoxiang, the head of the army who was close to him, waited for a long time, and the tea was already dull and tasteless after being added several times.

Seeing Li Xiaoyi coming back, Su Xiaoxiang got up and craned his neck to look out of the door, and saw that no one around gently closed the door.

"Has anything happened in Chang'an City?" Li Xiaoyi saw that Su Xiaoxiang was so cautious, and his heart, which had always been unstable, hung up again.

Su Xiaoxiang bowed and said: "My lord, the Queen Mother has accepted the Zen concession and agreed to the persuasion of the civil and military officials. ”

Li Xiaoyi's face darkened, and he sat down and said: "It's really difficult to do, it's not easy to choose, so the official should hang the seal and go!" ”

As a member of the Li Tang royal family, but to watch the country change color and become a female emperor, Li Xiaoyi's heart is as uncomfortable as cooking oil.

Su Xiaoxiang said in a deep voice: "My lord's words are wrong! Can you get out of it by hanging it up? How can the lives of adults be controlled in the hands of others, and now that the Queen Mother has ascended the throne and called the emperor, it is a foregone conclusion that there are only two ways in front of the adults. ”

"It doesn't hurt."

"The adult is the cousin of Emperor Gao, with the title of the county duke, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, in this national crisis, he should stand up, and now the adult has 300,000 soldiers, it is better to go straight to Luzhou to support the king of Luling to reinstate, the merit is as high as saving the car, and then he and Li Jingye joined forces to transfer to Luoyang, and Kuang Fu Emperor is just around the corner."

Li Xiaoyi's eyelids jumped uncontrollably a few times, and he was silent for a long time: "What about the other way?" You and I know what Li Jingye is, and cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and this road will not work. ”

Su Xiaoxiang bit his lip: "The second way is to quell Li Jingye's rebellion as soon as possible, show loyalty to the Queen Mother, and use the merit of quelling the chaos as the gift of the empress's accession to the throne. ”

The two roads sound simple, but Li Xiaoyi is really difficult to decide, just when he is embarrassed, suddenly a general came to report: "The Yangzhou army is divided into three roads, approaching Wudang, Junzhou, and Gucheng respectively, and there is a possibility of battle at dawn." ”

Li Xiaoyi closed his eyes for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Beat the drum and gather the generals, and invite Lord Wei Yuanzhong first." ”

When Su Xiaoxiang saw Li Xiaoyi meet with Wei Yuanzhong, the servant of the army, he knew that Li Xiaoyi had made a choice and chose the second path.
