(3rd Update)

After receiving the two military reports handed over by Li Yanqing and Li Yanchao, Li Congjing really felt a burst of happiness, and the military reports that the fifth class and others got back at a great price had finally played its due role; although there were only two "small victories" in front of him, and the value of intelligence had not yet been fully explored, Li Congjing believed that the Jianghuai situation would come to light in the near future. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After discussing with the staff, and reading the analysis of the battle situation of the staff office, Li Congjing issued a military order to Li Yanchao and other four generals, this military order was actually a request from the four generals, and Li Congjing was approved by the four generals' request: join forces to attack Shucheng and fight a decisive battle with Wang Hui.

In order to support the war in Shucheng, Li Congjing ordered Shi Yanchao to lead the five commanders to help each other, and he left only one commander in Chuzhou as a guard.

Although Chuzhou is adjacent to Yangzhou and Luzhou, which are fighting fiercely, it is a stable and peaceful image, and the people of Chuzhou have consciously or unconsciously accepted the rule of the Tang Dynasty, making a good start for the states and counties in Jianghuai.

When Li Congjing went to visit the fifth injury, she mentioned Ge Sanniang of the Splendid Pavilion, after the investigation of the military intelligence department, Ge Sanniang had not been executed, and after the fifth person escaped from Jinling, many of the military intelligence officers who stayed in Jinling were arrested one after another, and now the situation is not very good.

Since everyone is still alive, Li Congjing will certainly not sit idly by, he sent a messenger to send a letter to Xu Zhihe, asking Lin Anxin to exchange for Ge Sanniang and other military intelligence officers.

After Lin Anxin heard this rumor, he endured it for a long time and finally couldn't hold back, and found Li Congjing in front of him, "Are you really going to let me go back?" ”

"It's not a put, it's an exchange." Li Congjing, who was playing a pot throwing game with the fifth in the courtyard, threw arrows into the pot twenty steps away, and replied to Lin Anxin, who was both suspicious and very expectant, "It's useless for you to stay here, you consume my food for nothing, and now I have the opportunity to exchange you for my Tang Dynasty hero, why don't I do it?" ”

Lin An'an's expression was complicated, "You're not afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

Li Congjing was stunned and glanced at Lin Anxin, "Are you a tiger?" ”

Lin Anxin knew that Li Congjing was looking down on her, so he immediately gritted his teeth in anger, and his chest kept rising and falling.

The fifth girl laughed on the side and said, "Tigress! ”

Li Congjing threw ten shots, and asked people to move the quiver farther away, "Even if the tiger is released back to the mountain, there is nothing wrong with it, this time and that time, now there is another tiger on the mountain, you tell me, I put back another tiger, what will be the result?" ”

Lin Anxin sneered: "I'm afraid the drama of the two tigers will not be staged. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's staged or not, if you have a play, you can watch it, and if you don't watch it, you won't watch it, it doesn't make much difference to me." Li Congjing smiled casually, "Tsing Yi Yamen is not a group of wine bags and rice bags, I can not care about you, but I can't care about it, you eat well and sleep well with me, I raised you to be white and fat, you said that after you go back, Xu Zhihe will let you continue to be the head of the Tsing Yi Yamen, or will you not let you do it?" ”

Waving his hand, Li Congjing was excited, "Stand down." ”

Lin Anxin knew that Li Congjing was giving Xu Zhihe eye medicine, but she was helpless, she naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to return to Jinling, as for the rest, it was not something that could be considered right now, hearing Li Congjing's sentence "Stand down" was so natural, Lin Anxin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

When Su Hongsleeve heard that Li Congjing was willing to exchange Lin Anxin for Ge Sanniang, her tears were blurred with excitement, and she knelt down to bow down to Li Congjing, crying and thanking her.

Li Congjing had no good impression or bad feeling for this Splendid Pavilion Oiran, but seeing that she had broken her forehead, he still asked people to help her up, and said seriously: "You don't have to thank me, they shed blood and sweat for Datang, Datang will not forget them, and I will not." Don't say that one Lin Anxin is ten, and I will send it back without hesitation. ”

The heart of a warrior must not be broken, nor can the soul of a warrior be disappointed.

If you hurt and let you down, it's hard to have it again.

Li Congjing threw the last feather arrow into the pot, looked out of the courtyard with his negative hand, and muttered: "The truly strong steps of an empire should start with respecting and protecting each of its people. ”

......

Shucheng.

Wang Hui looked at the dense Tang army soldiers a few miles in front of the city on the city wall, his face was extremely blue, "With only 20,000 horses, you dare to come to Shucheng to fight with the general, it is really bold and arrogant to the extreme!" Do they think that if they are lucky enough to win two games, they can not take Ben in their eyes? ”

The staff next to him bowed down and said loudly: "Humble General Hexi!" ”

The king would turn his head and look angrily, "What do you say?" ”

The voice of the staff was clear, "The Tang thieves are seeking their own death, this is the opportunity we can take advantage of, as long as we defeat these Tang thieves in front of us, the general will be able to take advantage of the victory to recapture Luzhou, and the future march into Shouzhou will also be unimpeded!" Our army will win this battle, and the general will inevitably make another great contribution. ”

When he heard this, the king turned his anger into joy and laughed, "This is very reasonable! ”

Pointing at the Tang army outside the city, as if pointing to a lamb to be slaughtered, Wang Hui said majestically: "Who wants to defeat the thieves who came to attack for this general, make great contributions with me, and become famous in the world?!" ”

The generals stepped forward one after another to ask for battle, "I am willing to fight thieves for the generals!" ”

"Good!" Wang Hui was proud in his chest, "Today, I will fight a decisive battle with the Tang thief and beat the drum!" ”

In the Tang army's formation, Li Yanchao, Li Yanqing, Shi Yanchao, Ding Mao, Shi Congda and other generals are also looking at the Wu army's military formation, and the Tang army, the Wu army is also lined up outside the city, the two armies are lined up, stretching for more than ten miles, looking around, there are all ironclad soldiers, and Shucheng is extremely small.

"Listening to this drum, the king will fight us head-on." Ding Mao sneered, his face full of disdain.

"This old man thinks very highly of himself, and he suffered a loss the day before yesterday, and he is holding his breath, seeing our army's provocation, how can he not fight." Li Yanchao sneered, "Everyone, the victory or defeat is today, please work together to live up to Your Highness and the court!" ”

"Please give the general an order!" The generals said in unison, when he attacked Luzhou before, Ding Mao was the main general, but now when he attacked Shucheng, Li Yanchao came, so naturally Li Yanchao was in charge.

"Drums, fight!" Shi Yanchao pulled out his horizontal knife and raised it high.

On that day, both armies poured out of their nests and fought a decisive battle in Shucheng.

Today's guards are different from the original Dingyuan battle, because of the experience of war, it is a well-trained and well-equipped bravery, and the combat power has long been different from what it used to be, it is said that it has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there has been a qualitative change.

At this point in the battle, the potential of the guards and the pro-army has been fully revealed, and it can be regarded as giving full play to his due combat power.

......

Chuzhou.

Li Congjing listened to Zhu Changzhi's report on political affairs in the study, and at the end, Li Congjing couldn't help but praise him sincerely, after Zhu Changzhi went down, Feng Dao, who was in the room, said with a smile: "Zhu Tingshi is acting more and more thoughtfully, not only can have the overall situation, but also can work intensively, what is rare is that his temperament is becoming more and more stable, and he has begun to have the style of a minister!" ”

"The history of mud thorns can't be the history of mud thorns for the rest of your life." Li Congjing said with a smile.

Feng Dao nodded, and said with emotion: "It's all because of His Royal Highness's ears and eyes, and the history of mud thorns can be as stable as Mount Tai, and can not lose his sharpness, if the officials in the world can follow His Highness, why worry about not being famous everywhere in ten years?" ”

Feng Dao's words were sincere, but Li Congjing was not so big as to be big, and said with a smile: "Feng Gong is flattering the Lone King? ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, both felt extremely happy, that King Qin was happy, because the good ministers were being used, this was a sign of the country's prosperity, and the prime minister was happy, but because the King of Qin was pleasing to the eye, working with such a highness, not only fame and fortune but also a happy mood, how not happy?

Feng Dao couldn't help but think in his heart: It would be great if the title of this prince could be determined as soon as possible.

From time to time, a military report arrived in front of Li Congjing.

The military newspaper came from Chuzhou.

Li Congjing read the war report, was overjoyed, and handed the general the report to Feng Dao, "Chuzhou, it's finally in my pocket!" ”

Feng Dao glanced at the military report, and immediately got up and bowed, "Congratulations to Your Highness, Lian Zhan Lian Victory!" ”

Meng Ping and Ma Renyu attacked and defended in Chuzhou for many days, and now, Chuzhou was finally captured by Meng Ping.

This is not unexpected, after the battles of Tushan and Haozhou, there are not many Wu troops in Chuzhou, and it is not easy to resist the onslaught of the Hundred Battles Army.

Although Ma Renyu is tied with Zhou Zong and is the most valued cronie by Xu Zhihe, how can Meng Ping not be the most trusted henchman of Li Congjing? Li Congjing's henchman has no reason to lose to Xu Zhihe's cronies.

"The battle of Chuzhou, after the capture of the city, Ma Renyu fled eastward, intending to go out to the south, at that time, the thief army sailor was coming from the sea to help, has not yet landed, Ping led the army to chase to the sea, the thief army saw that Ma Renyu was defeated, and he could save him, and did not make the effort to land, that is, he fled south in panic." Li Congjing took another look at the military report handed over by Meng Ping, and saw the scene in front of him.

Among the three routes of soldiers and horses used by Wu State to Jianghuai, the east road has become a waste chess because Meng Ping took the lead in capturing Chuzhou, and this east road was broken.

Li Congjing and Feng Dao had not yet calmed down from the joy of Chuzhou's victory, and were discussing the highlights of the Battle of Chuzhou, when another military report was rushed to Li Congjing's case.

Shuzhou Military Daily, written by Li Yanchao.

Li Congjing browsed, "According to the military order of His Royal Highness, the last general and Ding Mao, Shi Congda, Li Yanqing, Shi Yanchao generals, joined forces to fight against the Shuzhou thief army, today's Chen, the king will line up in front of the city, and our army is fighting, at noon, Shi Yanchao first broke the thief army and horse army, and when the headquarters broke the enemy's main formation, Shen Shi, the generals successively broke the enemy formation in front of them, and when the thief army was defeated, he fled south. ”

Putting down the military report, Li Congjing's heart fluctuated, he stood up, came to the window, looked up at the night sky, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The guards are pro-army, the soldiers are brave and brave, and the armament is excellent, so far it has finally shown its due combat power, and Li Siyuan's work for several years has not been in vain.

This means that another real elite who can conquer the world was born in Datang.

With the birth of this elite army, the soldiers and horses of the Western Road, which Wu relied on the most, were declared broken.

Xu Zhihe used the three-way army of Jianghuai, and Shi Xubai and Han Xizai's plan to change the Jianghuai war situation in vain came to naught.

Yesterday, Li Congjing received a report that the soldiers and horses led by Li Congke have also arrived in Yangzhou City one after another.

Li Congjing said to himself: "Haozhou, Chuzhou, Luzhou, Chuzhou, Yangzhou, the five most important eastern states in Huainan, except for the two lonely cities of Shouchun and Yangzhou, have all fallen into the hands of my Tang Dynasty, and Chuzhou's civil affairs are on the right track, and they can be set an example for Jianghuai County - the Jianghuai War is now decided!" ”

Feng Dao looked at the pine-like figure and stood up silently, for some reason, he suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour.

Also on this night, an urgent edict from Luoyang, eight hundred miles, reached Li Congjing.
