Before assembling the Hundred Battles Army and preparing to leave, Li Congjing summoned Wei Xingming's father and son and Chen Qinglin of the Heyang Army to arrange the matter of Huaimeng. This expedition to the river, Mo Li Congjing is going to take away, he is Li Congjing's think tank, this campaign, the war is huge, not a problem that can be solved in one or two battles, there is Mo Li Counselor military aircraft, Li Congjing can rest assured. In this way, the task of sitting in Huaizhou fell to Wei Dao.

Wei Dao is both intelligent and intelligent, since he served as the head of the Hundred Battles Army, and was promoted to the governor of Huaizhou, he has not tasted more than half a mistake, and Wei Xingming is a rare military and political talent, and Wei Xingming is an expert in handling political affairs, with the assistance of Wei Xingming, and then used Jing Renzhong, who is known for his stability, to lead the army to guard the city, then Huai Meng is worry-free.

"This battle of Tangliang is focused on the river, and there will be no war in the land of Huaimeng, so you can rest assured that the commander of the army is very reassured. What the lower officials are worried about is also the danger of the soldiers' conquest, Wang Yanzhang is talented, and the Liang army on the river is strong, and the difficulty of this conquest is better than how it was before, but there is no need to accompany the military commander, and the lower officials can also rest assured. It's just that I can't listen to it in front of the marshal's account, and the subordinate officials are very concerned, and I hope that the marshal will cherish it. ”

During the deliberations in the hall, Wei Dao said this.

There was no objection to the arrangements of all parties, but the only accident happened to Chen Qinglin, who relied on the strategy of the military intelligence department to murder Huangfu Shao, and became the commander of the Heyang army. Now that the Tang Dynasty is fighting Liang, it is the time for us and other people who have not made great achievements to be loyal to the country, and I hope that the military commander will remember the sincerity of all the soldiers and give this opportunity. The last general waited in front of the marshal's tent, but he was driven and did not dare not use his life to repay the marshal's kindness! ”

When Chen Qinglin said this, Li Congjing's eyes meant a lot.

After the Heyang army defected to the Tang Dynasty, it was still stationed in Mengzhou, and Li Congjing did not take the opportunity to disintegrate his army and deprive him of his rights, but the Jiedu envoy was gone, and Chen Qinglin was the supreme commander, and he was just a commander. But these are not Li Congjing's kindness, but practical needs. The main force of the Hundred Battles Army is out of the river, and if you want to talk about the hidden dangers in the rear, the Heyang Army can be said to be one, after all, it has only been a short time. But in the current situation, the Heyang army has no reason to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, so Li Congjing is not worried.

Now Chen Qinglin took the initiative to ask to follow Li Congjing on the expedition, which was very unexpected to him.

Seeing that Li Congjing did not express his position, Chen Qinglin continued to work hard and said: "In the world of great contention, all those who have flesh and blood have a desire to fight, the Heyang Army is not a hero in the world, and Qinglin is not a good general, but after all, it is not useless, the Liang army on the river is powerful, Qinglin invites the war, and may be able to serve the commander or two." ”

Li Congjing knew that Chen Qinglin was an ambitious person, which was also the reason why he was able to succeed in rebelling against him in the first place, but Li Congjing didn't know how ambitious Chen Qinglin was, after all, getting along was short.

"Since General Chen is willing to serve the country, this commander is not a jealous and capable person, and he will not block the way of others to forge ahead, this time, General Chen can lead the army there." The Hundred Battles Army has 18,000 people, and the two or three thousand Heyang Army are placed by his side, how can he not surrender, Li Congjing agreed to Chen Qinglin's request.

Chen Qinglin couldn't hide his excitement, and hugged his fists to thank him, "Thank you, Marshal!" ”

Before the departure of the army, the military intelligence department had made a preliminary summary of the information around the river, including the news that the Liang Dynasty could find, and explained to Li Congjing that the army had not yet arrived on the river, but Li Congjing already knew the situation well.

On this day, the army set out, Li Congjing took Li Shaocheng as the vanguard, let him lead his headquarters first, with Peng Zushan as the rear army, and took care of the baggage for the army, Meng San and Wu Hook as the left and right wings, he brought Meng Ping, Chen Qinglin and Junzi as the Chinese army, and rushed to the destination of the trip at a speed of fifty miles a day: Yang Liucheng.

Cui Linglong was escorted by the military intelligence department and followed behind the army. This time, it is inevitable that Li Congjing will meet that person, and Cui Linglong may be able to use it, so he simply takes it with him.

"After Wang Yanzhang conquered the southern city of Desheng, he took advantage of the victory to capture the land of Panzhang, Majiakou and Jingdian, and the northern city of Desheng became a lonely city, after His Majesty got the news, he ordered the eunuch Jiao Shoubin to rush to Yang Liucheng to help the town general Li Zhou to defend it, and at the same time ordered Zhu Shouyin to give up the northern city of Desheng, demolish the house and make a raft, and carry the armor to Yang Liucheng to join Li Zhou."

Wang Yanzhang and the deputy envoy Duan Ning gathered an army of 100,000 troops, attacked Yang Liu, fought several times a day, climbed the city many times, and lost Li Zhou's full defense, and led the soldiers to fight to the death without retreating, so that Yang Liu was temporarily preserved. Wang Yanzhang attacked Yang Liu for a long time, retreated to the south of the city, and sent another sailor to guard Hejin, with far-reaching intentions. ”

According to the information found by the Military Intelligence Department, Dai Siyuan also served under Wang Yanzhang this time, and he was questioned after returning to Daliang last time, and it was Wang Yanzhang who brought him out when he went on the expedition and took him with him to listen to. When Wang Yanzhang conquered the southern city of Desheng, he used Dai Siyuan as a pioneer. ”

"Shame and then bravery, Dai Siyuan also. He fell from the position of general, and he could only be a partial general, but he could work hard, and his mind was excellent. This time, we waited for the troops to send Yang Liu, intending to attack His Majesty on both sides, Wang Yanzhang may not send troops to intercept him, and when he gets close to Yang Liu, this matter must be guarded against. ”

"That's true."

On the march, Li Congjing and Mo Li talked about the current situation.

Meng Ping helped his helmet, and then answered: "In this case, why don't you let me take the first step and explore the way?" lest the army be ambushed. ”

Li Congjing looked at him and quipped: "You are now the commander of the infantry army, do you still want to borrow my cavalry to fight?" ”

Meng Ping was indignant, "There are horse troops in all parts of the army, but I don't have them, the military marshal, your move is really profound, let me not know!" ”

Li Congjing and Mo Li laughed.

"Don't worry, there is such a thing as listening to the enemy's situation, there are scouts, and there will be no difference." Li Congjing said, he has always attached importance to scouts and military intelligence, and the vanguard is Li Shaocheng, how could he let the army fall into an ambush.

Mo Li, who was dressed in a white robe, glanced behind him, but saw that there was a long marching procession on the official road, which was several miles long, which was magnificent, so he turned around and asked Li Congjing: "What are you going to do with that person's affairs?" ”

Li Congjing fell silent, silent for a long time, and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he hasn't thought about it yet. It's not that I didn't want to do it, but I didn't want to do it to a certain extent.

Mo Li took out the folding fan and wanted to shake it, but after taking it out, he found that it was difficult to shake it out while jolting on the horse, and he was a little annoyed, so he had to put the folding fan back in. Li Congjing saw his action, and couldn't help laughing: "If you want to talk about planning, you can say it, you don't have to shake your broken fan every time you pour bad water out." ”

Mo Li didn't mind, smiled slightly, and said, "Since we have already arrested Cui Linglong, do you think that person wants to save people?" ”

"Of course."

"Will he want revenge?"

"Of course."

"So, guess what he's going to do next?" Mo Li asked.

Li Congjing said angrily: "Last time, he was angry and almost killed Lao Tzu, why don't you ask Lao Tzu what to do?" ”

Mo Li was suddenly dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

When the Hundred Battles Army was approaching Yang Liu, the Liang army's offensive against Yang Liu slowed down, and in the Liang army camp that stretched for more than ten miles, Wang Yanzhang was convening the generals in the Chinese army's big tent.

Because of this northern expedition, the Liang army had the meaning of doing its best, because all the generals of the Liang Dynasty were among them, and the seats were full of shocking faces, and the deputy envoy Duan Ning and the partial general Dai Siyuan were also among them.

Wang Yanzhang, who was dressed tightly and had a white beard, glanced around at the generals and said: "Yang Liu can't attack for a long time, and I just heard the military report, Li Yazi personally led the army to the south, and Yang Liu will arrive in a few days, and once it converges with the Tang army in Yang Liu City, it will be more difficult to defeat." If you have any good strategies to break the enemy, you can talk about it and listen to it. ”

"Li Yazi is here, it's not the first time I'm fighting against Li Yazi, there's nothing to be afraid of, when the time comes, it's still unknown who will die. But in addition, didn't the commander hear that Li Congjing had already sent troops to Huaizhou, leading tens of thousands of horses and horses, and pressing on our flank day and night? "Where is the person who said this talking about what strategy to break the enemy, he is simply raising the bar with Wang Yanzhang, he is the deputy envoy Duan Ning, and the generals in the army do not know that he and Wang Yanzhang are at odds, and the two often have quarrels.

Wang Yanzhang looked at Duan Ning, his eyes were threatening, "How about Li Congjing here?" What is the intention of the deputy envoy? He looked down on Duan Ning, not only because in his opinion Duan Ning was mediocre, but also because he was a traitor to the court and flattering, and the two were not all the way.

Duan Ning sneered and said, "The last general has heard that the Hundred Battles Army under Li Congjing is extremely good at fighting, often able to win more with less, and is the best at running and fighting, often able to surprise and be a fierce enemy. I guess General Dai knows this better than me, right? ”

He glanced at Dai Siyuan, whose face was blue, the contempt was obvious, Dai Siyuan was scarred, although he was angry, he could only hold back his anger at this time and said: "Li Congjing is both wise and brave, and he is a good soldier in a hundred battles, it is true." After speaking, he was a little unconvinced, and added: "Although the last general was defeated by Li Congjing, he didn't want to be ashamed every day, and General Duan was not victorious in a hundred battles, so what do you want to do if you laugh at the last general?" ”

Duan Ning didn't expect Dai Siyuan to dare to disobey him, only to say that he was relying on Wang Yanzhang, and sneered at the moment: "Snow shame? Are you snowy? Isn't it not enough to lose once, but also to lose two or three times, how many times do you have to lose before you are willing? ”

His words were extremely vicious, not only Dai Siyuan couldn't help it, but Wang Yanzhang was also furious, slammed the table, and shouted: "Duan Ning, Hugh has to insult my general!" He took a deep breath and said, "Since you said that General Dai can't be ashamed, could it be that you can defeat Li Congjing?" ”

"Naturally!" Duan Ning tilted his head arrogantly, "If the army commander gives 30,000 armor soldiers to the last general, the last general will definitely break Li Congjing and boost the prestige of our army!" ”

"Is that true?" Wang Yanzhang was simply.

"The last general is willing to make a military order!" Duan Ning swore and said, "If you lose, the last general will come to see you; If he wins, the last general will also play to His Majesty and expel such useless people from the tent! Pointing at Dai Siyuan.

Expelled Dai Siyuan, where did Wang Yanzhang put his face? What Duan Ning meant by this was that if he won, Wang Yanzhang should give up the position of coach. Giving up the handsome position, naturally let Duan Ning sit. Wang Yanzhang naturally knew Duan Ning's intentions, but Duan Ning actually took out the act of establishing a military order, and said it so desperately, he no longer stopped it. Moreover, Li Congjing's threat to the flank is indeed a problem that needs to be solved.

"Okay, Ben Shuai will allocate 30,000 armor soldiers to you according to you, and I hope you can defeat Li Congjing!"

"Thank you, Marshal!" There was a smile in Duan Ning's eyes that the conspiracy had succeeded.

After setting up the military order, Duan Ning walked out of the big tent proudly, and he was high-spirited.
