Since Gehua's whereabouts have been exposed and there is a danger of being captured by Yelu Abaoji, in order to ensure that Li Congjing's plan is not detected by the Khitan, thus arousing Yelu Abaoji's suspicion and adding unnecessary trouble to future actions, it is undoubtedly the safest choice to let Mu Gehua shut up forever. Although it is impossible for Mu Gehua to know Li Congjing's overall plan, he is an introduction in his own right, if Yelu Abaoji knows that Li Congjing has the intention of taking advantage of his eastward expedition to the Bohai Kingdom to attack it, I can't say how Yelu Abao will respond to it later. Although Li Congjing has a lot of layout, there are not many chess pieces that can be used, and there is a big gap between his strength and the Khitan, so there is no room for too many accidents.

After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he added to Li Congjing: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, let's not say anything, this time I went north, Mu Gehua has your help, and I am also assisted by the sharp soldiers of our military intelligence department, but he is still in deep danger, and his success is successful, and he knows at a glance that he is not a person who can do things." Now in the face of an unfavorable situation, he does not know how to advance or retreat, which shows that he is not only lacking in talent, but also has a poor temperament. Such a person, even if I wait for this adventure to be saved, the price paid will definitely outweigh the gain, and the gain will outweigh the loss. ”

When Mo Li, Wang Pu, Wei Dao, Du Qianshu and others heard this, they said yes to Li Congjing: "The matter has come to this, the situation is irreparable, the past cannot be changed, and it is the top priority not to suffer greater losses in the future, please make a decision."

Li Congjing is a decisive character, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is decisive in killing, and when this matter is found to be the current situation, he naturally knows how to deal with it. In fact, the moment he borrowed the letter, he had already made a decision in his heart, and now that he heard the unanimous opinion of everyone, he said: Order Li Rong to assassinate Mu Gehua, finish it well, and return south immediately. ”

After all, Mu Gehua is related to Li Congjing's plan, it is a very important part of it, and it is related to other links, and now that there is a problem in this link, it will naturally affect other links, and its harm is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Giving death to Mu Gehua, Li Congjing also needs to make adjustments to other relevant links and even the entire layout.

However, if you play big chess, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, not to mention that people who are themselves very variable, and the problem will be solved. At the moment, Li Congjing and everyone have made some discussions and layout changes on the other links involved in this matter.

After this matter was agreed, it came to an end for the time being, and Li Congjing threw out the second topic of the meeting today.

"The war in Liaodong suddenly changed abruptly, the Khitan suddenly raised a large reinforcement to give it, the offensive was extremely fierce for a while, the Bohai army was defeated and retreated, and the Bohai army in the surrounding cities of Duli Town was swept away, and Duli Town has become an isolated city. The day before yesterday, Daming'an sent Li Siping to lead reinforcements to arrive, and after several major battles, he still failed to repel the Khitan army surrounding Duli Town, and the siege of Duli Town has not been solved so far. The situation in Liaodong is critical, what do you think, let's talk about it. Li Congjing told everyone about the latest progress of the situation in Liaodong and asked about countermeasures.

Before planning countermeasures, Mo Lixian muttered, "Li Siping is not a mediocre person, he is quite talented, and he is the first resourceful thing under the command of Da Ming'an. This time, since he rushed to Liaodong with reinforcements, it stands to reason that he should not have won an inch in the battle, and he did not have any credit. I don't know how he coped with the current situation after he arrived in Liaodong? ”

"After Li Siping led the reinforcements to Liaodong, he first ordered the elite army to drive straight in and slammed the back of the Khitan army besieging Duli Town." Li Congjing said.

Mo Li said: "When the reinforcements arrive suddenly, we should indeed use the momentum of thunder to break the enemy with force, and not give the other party a chance to deal with and defend." Li Siping's move is good. The result? ”

"The Bohai State army attacked fiercely for three days in a row and failed to break through the Khitan defense line." Li Congjing looked at Mo Lidao.

Mo Li was a little surprised, "The Khitan army has been tired after a long battle, and the Bohai State army has rushed to the aid of the first battle, and when it was in its prime, it failed to break the enemy for three consecutive days?" ”

Li Congjing nodded solemnly.

Mo Li pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What happened after that?" ”

"The Bohai Navy failed to fight at the beginning, and the war fell into anxiety, but because Li Siping contained a large number of Khitan troops, its offensive against Duli Town weakened, and Duli Town was fortunate to be able to hold out for a while." Li Congjing said.

"Even if it can hold out for a while, the Khitan army besieging Duli Town is still several times larger than the Bohai Navy in Duli Town, if the siege is not lifted, it will only be a matter of time before Duli Town is broken." Mo Li knew the combat power of the Bohai Navy well, and his judgment on the war in Liaodong was naturally very authoritative. In fact, there is no doubt that the Bohai Navy can block the attack of the Khitan army at the moment, thanks to their more than a year of battlefield training, and they have produced elite troops on the battlefield since ancient times.

Li Congjing continued: "Only four days later, Li Siping came up with a clever plan. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Siege Wei to save Zhao."

"Oh?" Mo Li smiled slightly, "Isn't it Li Siping who attacked Jian'an with strange soldiers?" Yes, Li Siping is a capable person, he personally led the elite of the Bohai Navy to rescue Duli Town, but he was blocked in the middle of the road, which he would never accept. Now that the Khitan army is mostly in Duli Town, or blocking himself, its defense against Jian'an is bound to be weak. This move has the magic of avoiding the important and taking the light. ”

"That's true, Li Siping's move can be called exquisite."

"The result?"

"What do you think the result is?"

Mo Li's face changed slightly, and he sighed regretfully, "Now that the siege of Duli Town has not been solved, it is conceivable that Li Siping's move has not succeeded." ”

"That's true."

"Why didn't Li Siping succeed?"

Li Congjing was also a little regretful, glanced at everyone present, and asked, "Do you know why Li Siping didn't succeed?" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and they all fell into deep thought, Wang Pu thought about it, and took the lead in speaking: "The Bohai Navy attacked by surprise troops, besieged Wei to save Zhao, and the Khitan was unmoved, either because they had prepared for it in advance, or they were very well prepared, so that the Bohai Navy was in vain. ”

Li Congjing bowed slightly, and said, "But it's a combination of both." Li Siping besieged Wei to save Zhao, but before he arrived in Jian'an, he was informed by the Khitan rangers, and when he arrived in Jian'an, he saw a towering city like an iron barrel, and the Bohai Navy attacked several times but the city did not move, so he had no choice but to retreat. ”

Wei Dao was surprised: "Who is the person who sits in Liaodong this time, and he has such ability?" ”

"The eight generals of the Khitan, the southern courtyard is out of the Jianye and wants to hide." Li Congjing said.

"No wonder so!" Du Qianshu suddenly said to everyone: "Yelu wants to hide among the eight Khitan generals, with both offense and defense, and a combination of rigidity and softness in combat style, which is the most difficult. If this person is now sitting in Liaodong, the Bohai Navy can't deal with it, but it makes sense. ”

"Jerod wants to hide?" Li Congjing repeated the name, "Why does this person sound so familiar?" ”

"When the military commander Kepingzhou went north to attack Yingzhou, he ordered the Khitan Yingzhou guard to die and the army was destroyed, and the Khitan guard of Yingzhou at that time, Yelu Jochi, was the son of this Yelu Wanting to hide." Du Qianshu replied.

"I see."

"What action did Li Siping take after the defeat of Jian'an?" Mo Li continued to ask.

Returning to this topic, Li Congjing said: "After the failure of the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, Li Siping made several strange plans, or attacked the east and west, or concealed the sky and the sea, all of which were clearly seen by the Khitan army and failed one by one. To this day, Da Ming'an and Li Siping have successively sent news to Ben Shuai, asking Ben Shuai to save him, but the Bohai Navy still has not been able to relieve the siege of Duli Town. ”

"According to the current situation, Duli Town may not last long, if Duli Town falls, then Bohai has no place to defend in Liaodong, the only Bohai City, is also close to Bohai itself, and it cannot strategically affect too many places in Liaodong, so Bohai has been fighting in Liaodong for a long time, and in the end it can only be a failure."

Hearing that Da Ming'an and Li Siping asked Li Congjing for help, Wei Dao asked: "Now that the situation in Liaodong is critical, and Bohai has come to ask for help, what is the military commander's plan?" ”

"Although the situation in Liaodong is critical, it is not yet time for me to wait for the troops." Li Congjing shook his head and said firmly,

"Why is that?" Du Qianshu was puzzled.

Li Congjing said: "My Lulong army, if you don't move, you will be thunderous, it is necessary to strike at the most appropriate time and when the battlefield situation is most favorable to me, and now, although Liaodong is in a hurry, Liaodong is in a hurry, and the fighters we are waiting for have little to do with it." If we have a plan, we can't mess up our own situation for other reasons. ”

"When is the best time for my army to go on the march?"

A gleam flashed in Li Congjing's eyes, "If Yelu Abaoji doesn't move, then I won't wait." Ask me what day I will send out the army, that is when Yelu Abaoji personally conquered the Bohai Sea! ”

When this matter was agreed, it was still summer, and in Li Congjing's memory, there was still a period of time before Yelu Abaoji personally conquered the Bohai Kingdom, and in these last months, it was the final preparation time for Li Congjing for this final battle.

Breaking the national momentum accumulated by the Khitan for more than ten years, so that the Khitan no longer has the opportunity to set foot on the Central Plains and harm the common people of the Central Plains, this is Li Congjing's great ambition, but this great ambition is not as simple as simply resisting foreign humiliation and not allowing the Khitan to invade the Central Plains.

After years of beacon fires, the people's livelihood has withered, the national strength has been greatly damaged, and the Tang Dynasty has long ceased to flourish. For the land of Shenzhou, this is a profound disaster, in the original history, Yelu Deguang invaded the Central Plains, first destroyed the Tang Dynasty, and then destroyed the Later Jin, but also stayed in the Central Plains for most of the year, the harm was great, not only made the Central Plains hundreds of people ruined, but also made the Central Plains manpower, material and financial resources empty. And Li Congjing wants to conquer the world, the first priority is national strength, without strong national strength as a backing, he cannot dominate the world in a short period of time.

Nowadays, there is Wu in the south, which is the prosperous state in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is Shu in the west, which is known as a strong national strength, and the land of Ma Chu is even more fierce, and other countries, such as Wu Yue, Jingnan Jiedu, and the Southern Han Dynasty, are also a powerful princes, and it is not a simple matter to win in the battle with them, and finally create a prosperous and powerful state.
