When Li Congjing returned to the East Palace from Luoshui Beiying, it was already early afternoon, and it was Dou Niang who came to serve him.

Although Dou Niang is a daughter, when she unloads Li Congjing's armor, her hand movements are extremely skillful, which shows that she should often remove Charucci's armor when she is not married, and she is a filial daughter. It's been a few days since she entered the East Palace, and Dou Niang has become more and more charming and lovely, but every move is all secretly polite, making people feel dignified and virtuous, and Dou Niang, who has gradually adapted to her new identity, has now become another virtuous helper of Li Congjing.

After receiving the hot water brought by the maid, Dou Niang wrung out the sweat towel and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead for Li Congjing, her movements were gentle, but the tenderness and sweetness in her eyes were so thick that she couldn't melt away.

didn't toss twice, changed into the prince's regular clothes, Li Congjing was already refreshed, he should have taken a bath, but Li Congjing, who was used to military life, obviously didn't care too much about these subsections. By the time he sat on the sitting, Dou Niang had already brought the tea that Li Congjing was accustomed to drinking, lifted the lid, and sent it to Li Congjing.

Li Congjing washed his face, drank tea, relaxed, and didn't mind telling Dou Niang some daily itinerary before he started to deal with government affairs, "Thanks to the smooth state affairs over the years, the achievements of the new policy have been shown in a big way, and the court has 20,000 new soldiers this year, and I went to Beiying to see these soldiers, all of whom are worthy of being my brave sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Dou Niang sat next to Li Congjing, her hands folded on her knees, her eyes were as clear as Ying, "The country is getting stronger and stronger, and His Royal Highness's ambition to clear the universe must be realized in a few days." ”

Li Congjing stretched out his hand and scratched the ceramic nose of Dou Niang, and said with a smile: "What is Kuoqingyu, the road of Datang is still long." ”

When the two were talking, Meng Xiaohua rushed over when she heard the news, and after she entered the door to greet her, she meekly knelt beside Li Congjing, stretched out her two little arms like mutton fat and warm jade, and beat and massaged her legs for Li Congjing, which was very well-behaved.

She knows that her background is not as good as Ren Wanru, and she doesn't have the talent of Dou Niang, so she has always been docile on weekdays, and she can let go of her body to please Li Congjing.

This Li Congjing has Dou Niang to talk with him on the one hand, and Meng Xiaohua knocks on his shoulders and beats his legs on the other, which is the scene of Fusheng stealing half a day of leisure and being happy.

From time to time, Wei Ziming came to visit. Because Wei Ziming is about the same age as Li Congjing next year, and he is an old man who has followed him since Qimen, Li Congjing didn't get up and let Wei Ziming come in to talk.

"According to the prince's instructions, this year, he went to Anyang, Xiangzhou, Handan, Xingzhou, Shizhou and Wutai Mountain, and went deep into the wilderness and mountains and forests to explore, and sure enough, many iron ores were found in these places. According to the craftsmen, in addition to the mines that had been discovered and mined, there were astronomical deposits, enough to last the imperial court for decades at least—and this was only the result of preliminary explorations. Wei Ziming said these words respectfully and handed over a booklet.

Meng Xiaohua got up and handed the booklet to Li Congjing, Li Congjing opened it and took a cursory look at it, and then said to Wei Ziming: "Okay!" You have done a good job on this errand and have lived up to the expectations of this palace. After a tiring day, you must be very tired, so you don't need to say much today, go back to rest first, and come back tomorrow to discuss these things in detail with the palace. ”

Wei Ziming thanked him, not only the joy of completing the errand, but also the hard work of being moved by Li Congjing's observation, and immediately retreated without saying a word.

Li Congjing held the booklet in his hand, unconsciously slapped it into his palm, and his eyes gradually became profound.

Based on Li Congjing's geographical knowledge in later generations, he vaguely remembered the distribution of iron ore in Shenzhou, the main body was roughly on the line from Liaodong to Dali, and the iron ore deposits surveyed in Hedong now confirmed his memory.

The army is fighting on the battlefield, and the iron armor, iron sword, iron arrow, and iron crossbow are the magic weapons for victory on the battlefield, which one does not need to consume a lot of iron?

With these iron ores discovered by Wei Ziming, Datang's army can continue to gallop on the battlefield and win a hundred battles!

......

Yangzhou, Liuhe.

Although Liuhe is only a county seat, it is an important place, it and the northeast of Tianchang County, a west and a north arch to defend Yangzhou City, is the only way to enter Yangzhou City from the heart of Jianghuai, plays an important role in the barrier Yangzhou.

A few days ago, after Liu Renjian ambushed Li Yanchao from Liuhe to support Chuzhou, he took the opportunity to march into Liuhe, originally thought that it would not be difficult to take advantage of the situation to win Liuhe, but never thought that although Li Yanchao suffered his loss in the middle of the road, lost hundreds of soldiers, but the army was not chaotic, and when retreating to Liuhe, he still had a degree of discipline, so that Liu Renzhen's goal of attacking Liuhe failed.

As a last resort, Liu Renzhen had to follow the previous strategy and send troops to Tianchang County and other places, so he set up a suspicious formation, so as to attract the Jianghuai Tang Army to lose sight of the left and right, and was forced to go on the defensive, so that he had a lot more room for using troops. At that time, Liu Renzhen was confident that with his military strategy, he might not be able to disturb the territory controlled by the Tang army and completely disrupt the deployment of the Tang army in Jianghuai, as Jiang Wenwei and others did when they attacked Hezhou.

When he and Ma Renyu attacked from east to west, Chuzhou's left and right flanks were threatened, and Yangzhou City might not be safe, Mo Li did not choose to shrink his forces and stabilize the situation on various battlefields, but brazenly launched a decisive battle with the main force of the Wu army, Wang Hui, who was defending the camp.

"Mo Li's original decision to fight a decisive battle with General Wang was a risky strategy, originally as long as General Wang could hold the camp, stalemate with Mo Li for a period of time, and drag the Tang army's soldiers and horses, I would be able to feint Liuhe, and the main force would attack Tianchang County, which was not guarded by the Northern Thieves. At that time, Yangzhou will lose the two barriers of Liuhe and Tianchang, and the northern thieves outside the city will be in chaos, and Zhang Yanhan, who guards the city, will be able to take advantage of the situation to counterattack. ”

Liu Renzhen thought so, "At that time, Yangzhou will be restored, and my Dawu will reopen a rear in the eastern part of Jianghuai in addition to Hezhou, so the northern thieves will lose Yangzhou in the east, Quanjiao in the south, and most of the states and counties in the west will not be defeated, how can they not lose their hesitation in the north and south, and how can they reorganize the offensive?" Don't say that if you organize an offensive against Jianghuai again, the northern thieves of Chuzhou are enemies on three sides, and in the face of the siege of our army, it is difficult to even defend, how can you not retreat in a panic? At that time, the vast land of Jianghuai, I will be able to arbitrarily crisscross and destroy the city and conquer Fuzhou County, and it will not be as easy as in Chudi? In the end, my Great Wu Wangshi is fully approaching to rescue Shouchun, then General Shouchun Gao Shensi is not surrounded, or the center is blooming, if so, how can the Northern Thieves not be destroyed? ! ”

Thinking of this, Liu Renzhen's heart was full of blood and blood, and he was restless for a while, and finally struck a hard blow, "Hateful!" Hateful! General Wang had tens of thousands of brave people in Jiangdong, according to the strong fortress of the city, but he could not resist the attack of the inferior troops of the northern thieves, and was defeated by a blow, and the army was scattered in one day, and the northern thieves chased and fled in all directions, which was really too useless! Hateful! Exasperating! ”

Liu Renzhen was inexplicably sad and indignant, and out of thin air he felt a sense of "having the intention to kill the thief and not being able to return to the sky", and couldn't help but look up and sigh, but only saw the cone-shaped white tent top, like a pot lid, covering his frog who wanted to jump out of the well at the bottom of the pot.

"General Liu, General Wang is here." After the soldiers came in to report, Wang Yanyan walked in.

Seeing Wang Yanyan, Liu Renzhen felt a sigh of "the same is the end of the world", and hurriedly got up under the sympathy and beckoned Wang Yanyan to sit down.

"Liuhe North Thief heard that General Wang was defeated in Chuzhou, and went out of the city to counterattack our department, and its momentum was quite large. Liu Renzhen clasped his fists and saluted Wang Yanyan to thank him.

After sitting down with Liu Renzhen, he said: "The defeat of Chuzhou has made my Wang Shi lose a good situation. However, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to complain about the sky and others, General Liu has repeatedly defeated the thief army and the fierce general Li Yanchao, it is my big Wu Junyan, quite a famous general, I don't know what I think of you and me going down? ”

"Or pull out the Liuhe, or attack the sky." Liu Renzhen replied, "Only in this way can we rescue Yangzhou, and you and I will have the time to compete with the Northern Thieves again in the future!" ”

Wang Yanyu shook his head and sighed: "The Northern Thief Army is at its peak, with countless strong bows and crossbows, and General Liu has also seen it with his own eyes, although the thief general Li Yanchao has been repeatedly defeated by your department, but the main force still exists, if he guards the city, you and I, more than 10,000 people, and when the army is newly defeated and the people's hearts are unstable, how can we win it?" ”

Liu Renzhen naturally knew this truth, and he said: "Why don't you feign an attack on Tianchang County and lure Li Yanchao to rescue, and I will set up an ambush in the middle of the road?" ”

Wang Yanyan still shook his head, "Don't say that the thief Li Yanchao is not easy to match, it is not easy to be tricked, even if you and I succeed this time, but the main force of the northern thief will attack in a big way in the coming day, how can you and I deal with it?" ”

This is also a fact, Liu Renzhen couldn't think of a way to crack it, he stood up and came to the tent and paced back and forth, only feeling that his heart was on fire. Originally, in his expectations, this time he should be the time to show his strength, defeat Li Yanchao, win Liuhe, win the sky, aid Yangzhou, and then recover Jianghuaizhou County, and make great meritorious contributions, but the current reality is that he can't advance, retreat, and retreat, it is really difficult to move an inch, and it is difficult to protect himself, and the gap between the two is too big, which makes Liu Renzhen's heart suffer very little, how can he not be painful at this time?

"Neither can the left, nor can the right, so according to the general's opinion, what should we do now?" Liu Renzhen endured the grief and indignation in his heart.

Wang Yanyan actually had a plan, at this time Liu Renzhen was finally willing to ask, so he pretended to groan, and finally said sincerely: "This place is only thirty or forty miles away from Guabu, and it can be reached in one day, while the main force of the northern thieves has not yet attacked in a big way, you and I should organize the whole army to go south and retreat south of the river!" ”
