Chapter 39 Speak the world for my king
(Second update.) Thank you Brother Viper for your support, do you really want to urge the change? )
"Childe, the slave and maid brought you the washing water! Hey, Childe, you haven't gotten up yet? Qiuyue, the maid in the goose skirt, entered the house with a porcelain basin as usual, and found that Li Congjing was still lying on the bed, and her pretty face was full of surprise.
"Well, Qiuyue, you woke up so early!" Li Congjing yawned, he came back late last night, and he drank a lot of wine with Li Shaobin and others, so he was too sleepy. It seems that even if you drink too much beer, it is powerful.
Qiu Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, but her hands were extremely quick, and she hurriedly trotted over to serve Li Congjing to dress, and said: "The slave didn't get up like this one day, because the son got up late today...... Ah, Childe, what are you wearing in your dirty pants, why are you holding up so high? ”
As he spoke, he even reached out to touch it.
Li Congjing looked down when he heard this, and saw that it was the little brother who was holding his head high, not only did his old face blush, but he quickly dodged away, and said something else: "Ah, what, is there anything special in the house today?" ”
The little girl is just a deceitful, and she was immediately diverted, and said quite happily: "Yesterday, there was a word from the palace, saying that the prince wanted to meet His Majesty today!" ”
A look of honor.
"Oh, I see!" Li Congjing said in his heart, Li Cunqiao finally remembered me.
Unexpectedly, Li Congjing's attention was put elsewhere, but the little girl's attention was withdrawn, "Childe, it's not crazy to put such a big thing in your pants, hurry up and take it out!" ”
Saying that he wanted to help Li Congjing, Li Congjing hurriedly took two steps back, and in Qiu Yue's puzzled gaze, he sneered and said, "This son can come by himself, you go and make the bed." ”
"Oh...... Be. Qiu Yue obediently obeyed Li Congjing's meaning.
After having breakfast with a large number of people, Li Congjing was summoned to see Li Cunqing. The strange thing is that Li Cunqiao summoned Li Congjing and Li Siyuan not at the same time.
Li Congjing followed the eunuch on the road, and saw the high walls and huge tiles, pavilions and pavilions, like forests and mountains, and felt a lot in his heart.
This is the extreme power of the world!
At present, it is just a palace of Xingtang Mansion, which has already given people such a big shock, so what is the scene of Chang'an Luoyang in the Central Plains, the pinnacle of power throughout the ages?
Li Congjing didn't know yet, but he wanted to go and see it.
Today's sunshine is just right, Li Cunqiao did not meet Li Congjing in the room, he was feeding the goldfish in the lake by the lake in the annex, followed by a large group of eunuch attendants, and a concubine. That concubine is at a bewitching age, and she is indeed very beautiful, which is rare in the world, and she also applied some just right powder, with treasure beads, it is really rich and magnificent.
In contrast, Li Cunqiao's clothes are much simpler, with black folded catties, coiled dragon black robes, and thirteen gold and jade belts around his waist, the whole person looks heroic and spiritual, and there is no lack of easy-going atmosphere.
"Chen Huaizhou's assassin history and the Hundred Battles Army are all commanding Li Congjing, see King Jin." Li Congjing paid a big salute.
"Okay, don't be polite, come and sit." Li Cunmiao was in good spirits, and greeted Li Congjing with a smile,
"I don't dare." Li Congjing retreated, but was finally given a seat by Li Cunqing.
Li Cunqiao looked at him with a smile and said: "In less than a year, you have trained the elite of the Hundred Battle Army, countered the rebellion, and you have to Huaimeng and Mengzhou, and let Dai Siyuan return with a feather, such a feat, you are the only one in the Tang Dynasty." Well done, I didn't see the wrong person in the first place. ”
Li Congjing said a few words modestly, and said: "It's all Your Majesty's proper scheduling, the Tang Dynasty has won the hearts of the people, and wherever the ministers go, the people eat pot pulp to welcome the Tang Dynasty's division, and the ministers don't dare to take credit." ”
Li Congjing's previous battles, although he delivered military reports to Li Cunqing in a timely manner, but there was no time to mention the details, Li Cunqing was quite interested in how Li Congjing planned the battle and the details of the battle, and asked Li Congjing to give him a detailed introduction. Li Congjing naturally said one by one, although his tone was calm, it sounded thrilling, not only to the expert Li Cunqiao was amazed, but also the concubine, who was also amazed, and called it strong.
"If you have to Huaimeng, then the north of the Yellow River, east of Guanzhong, there is no pseudo-Liangjie Town, Zhu Youzhen loses these two states, I am afraid that I will have heartache for a while, I am really happy!" Li Cunqiao first affirmed Li Congjing's merits, and then changed his words, "In this way, there are already 20,000 people under the Hundred Battles Army?" With such a large army, you can not only defend the land of Huaimeng, but also wave your army to the south and set foot on the Central Plains. At that time, I will fight in the east, and you will respond from the west, and it will not be difficult for the pseudo-Liang to be destroyed. ”
Li Cunqing's words did not make Li Congjing feel happy, on the contrary, Li Congjing had read another layer of meaning from Li Cunqing's tone of speech, that is the scruple of a superior person, although this kind of jealousy is still very shallow at the moment, maybe Li Cunqing is not too concerned, but Li Congjing can't help but make long-term considerations, thinking of this, Li Congjing moved out the words that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Please speak for Your Majesty of the Battle of the Destruction of Liang." Li Congjing stood up and saluted.
Li Cunmiao was a little stunned, let out an "oh" in surprise, smiled, and said to the concubines beside him: "How, I told you a long time ago that Congjing is a genius of the Tang Dynasty." Looking at Li Congjing, he said expectantly: "You can say it." ”
"Yes." Li Congjing straightened up and said eloquently, "The Tang Dynasty and the Pseudo-Liang have been fighting for decades, since Your Majesty took power, our army has been invincible, the battle will be won, the territory has been expanding, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been rising. However, the pseudo-Liang has occupied the Central Plains for decades, with a deep foundation, and although it has been repeatedly hit hard and its vitality has been greatly damaged, it is still there at all. Liang general Duan Ning led the pseudo-Liang elite 100,000, stationed on the river, eyeing the tiger, if we compete with it head-on, because there are strong soldiers in front of it, and there are strong countries in the back, the support is continuous, and it is difficult to win. If this is the case, then the destruction of the beam is not a temporary effort, and there is a risk of protracted time. ”
Speaking of this, Li Congjing paused, and when he saw Li Congjing stroking his beard and nodding, he continued.
"Today, fortunately, His Majesty has made a holy decision, my father's surprise attack on Yunzhou, Yunzhou, where the throat of the eastern border of the pseudo-Liang is located, according to this city, the Tang Dynasty soldiers can radiate together, enter the Liang (Kaifeng), retreat can protect Wei and Xiangzhou, this Cheng soldiers must fight for the place; His Majesty's Tianwei, the ministers were lucky to get Mengzhou, Huaimeng, the land of anointing, the people are rich and the soldiers are full, and then there is Zelu as the aid, there is the Yellow River in front of the moat, advance and retreat at will, and once the army of Huaimeng crosses the Yellow River, as His Majesty said, one can go straight to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the other can attack the heart of Duan Ning's army of 100,000 people. ”
Li Cunqiao nodded his head, saw Li Congjing looking over, and motioned for him to continue.
Li Congjing continued: "At this time, the pseudo-Liang will not sit on the Yun and Meng sides, and according to the judgment of the ministers, its revenge army will soon march north, or take Yunzhou, or attack Mengzhou. And once the army of the pseudo-Liang goes north, the war will suddenly start, between Tang and Liang, this time if there is no war, the battle will be a decisive battle! ”
"Not bad, not bad, well said!" Li Cunqiao clapped his hands in admiration, and looked at Li Congjing with blazing eyes, "Then depending on you, is it more likely that Pseudo Liang will attack Yunzhou, or is it more likely to attack Mengzhou, or will there be two ways to send troops?" ”
Li Congjing bowed his hand and said: "It depends on which way Your Majesty wants the pseudo-Liang to attack." ”
"Oh?" Li Cunmiao frowned slightly, this time he was really a little surprised.
"Now that the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, it is like a tiger swallowing a tiger, and it is looking at the world, at this time, there is only one person who can take revenge for the pseudo-Liang and seize the land, and he is worthy of this heavy task." Li Congjing said slowly, "If the pseudo-Liang sends troops, he will use Wang Yanzhang as a general!" ”
"Wang Yanzhang." Li Cunmiao repeated the name, if it had a deep meaning, it was mixed with a hint of hatred.
In the past, Li Cunmiao was invincible in the Quartet, and when he fought with the Liang army, he was only jealous of Wang Yanzhang, and said to others: "This person is terrible, you should avoid his edge." Unexpectedly, when Wang Yanzhang heard this, his evaluation of Li Cunqiao was: "Li Yazi is just a fighting, so he should not be afraid." ”
The king of the Tang and Tang dynasties, now he is even more expensive as the son of heaven, although Li Cunqiao himself is talented, has a lot of preferences, and is also good at playing, and may have used cockfighting as entertainment, but Wang Yanzhang said that he is a cockfighting child, and he is contemptuous, how can he not be resentful?
"Pseudo-Liang uses Wang Yanzhang as a general, so what?" Li Cunqiao asked leisurely.
Speaking of which, Li Congjing has also entered the state, his expression is excited, although he tries his best to restrain himself, but his domineering spirit cannot be concealed, he said: "If Wang Shi defeats Wang Yanzhang, then the pseudo-Liang will be terrified, and then the elite of the partial division will attack, or from Yunzhou, or from Mengzhou, ignore Duan Ning, and take the Liang directly, then the pseudo-Liang will be destroyed!" ”
The military significance of Mengzhou and Yunzhou is advantageous in the geographical position, and with these two places, the Tang army can avoid the large army on the Duan Ning River, and there is room for surprise attacks.
Li Cunqing's expression changed, obviously moved by the situation outlined by Li Congjing, but from time to time he calmed down again, looked at Li Congjing, and said with a smile: "Then according to your opinion, who can stop Wang Yanzhang, and who can attack Daliang?" ”
Li Congjing bowed down and said loudly: "The minister asks for his life, and he will fight Wang Yanzhang with a hundred battles to help His Majesty take the beam!" ”
Li Cunqing's fingers on the chair moved suddenly, he stared at Li Congjing, who was leaning over with his chin bowed over for a while, and asked two words leisurely: "Why?" ”
"Wang Yanzhang, a famous general in the world, has already moved the world, although he is an enemy army, he cannot be underestimated. The Tang Dynasty is sharp, Your Majesty is brave, but defeating Wang Yanzhang is not the first priority, the first priority is to destroy Liang. The minister did not dare to say that he could defeat Wang Yanzhang, but he could tie him up for a while, at that time, His Majesty would attack Daliang in a war, and the world would be decided, and Wang Yanzhang would not have to worry about it! Li Congjing said.
His meaning is obvious, the defeat of Wang Yanzhang is just a good sound, but it is even more difficult to do, even if Li Cunqiao is in person, it cannot be said that a big victory is guaranteed; And the key to this battle is not to defeat Wang Yanzhang, but to attack the Liang, and if the Liang enters the hands of the Tang Dynasty, the Liang will be destroyed, that is, it is good to defeat Wang Yanzhang, but it is okay if he can't be defeated, just drag it out.
Li Cunmiao groaned.
Li Congjing waited for a while, but did not see Li Cunmiao express his position, so he bluntly persuaded: "The pseudo-Liang occupies the Central Plains, and the people have a lot of food, so they will not fight for a long time; And the Tang Dynasty has been fighting for decades, destroying Zhao and Yan in the east, and Khitan in the north, and now the soldiers are tired and indurable to fight. ”
The destruction of Zhao and Yan is not the destruction of Zhao and Yan, but the envoy of the Dingzhou Yiwu Festival and the Zhenzhou Wuyuan Festival envoy who previously divided the two places.
Li Congjing didn't know that his words of asking for war were exactly the same as Li Siyuan.
Li Congjing's move, at first glance, seems to be roasting the Hundred Battles Army on the fire, because they have to face Wang Yanzhang, but if they take a long-term view, it will not do more harm than good. Where the ambition is, where the road is, ambition determines the journey, Li Congjing trained the hundred battle army, not to see how fast its number swelled, but to train the elite army.
Li Congjing knows very well that the destruction of Liang does not mean the end of the war, on the contrary, it is just the beginning, five dynasties and ten countries, and the war is endless, Li Congjing does not know how many strong opponents he will face in the future, and now, with a sparring partner like Wang Yanzhang, how can he not catch it?
Missing the opportunity to fight against a military master like Wang Yanzhang will be an eternal loss for Li Congjing. If your opponent is strong, you will be stronger, and if your opponent is weak, you will never be able to improve. It's like to defeat a 10-man enemy, you just have to be a 100-man enemy, but to defeat a thousand-man enemy, you have to be 10,000 enemies. Whether to become an enemy of 100 people or an enemy of 10,000 people, this choice is not difficult to make.
In addition, Li Congjing is also doing this for the sake of the future way out of the Hundred Battles Army, only by "dedicating" more to Li Cunxuan now, can he suffer less suspicion in the future, can he find a good way out for the Hundred Battles Army, can he protect his own wings, and wait for the day when the time comes, he will be a blockbuster and a winner.
