Hearing that the mob was making trouble and besieging the officials of the Qin Palace, Li Congjing was furious, and immediately postponed his eastward trip to Puzhou and went to check the situation in person.

Li Congjing was in Baima County, and the officials of the Qin Wangfu who were operating near Baima County were fortunately discovered in time by the guards and military intelligence of the Qin Wangfu, although they were caught off guard and attacked by the mob to avoid being injured, but fortunately no one was killed.

After Li Congjing arrived at the scene, he first checked the injuries of the government officials - three or five were injured, and the seriously injured ones had been carried to the city for treatment.

Even the officials of the Qin Palace's mansion dared to attack, these mobs were simply bold, could they all want to rebel? Li Congjing's face was gloomy all the way, as if he could wring out water at any time.

Before Li Congjing arrived, the Military Intelligence Department had already launched an investigation, and seeing Li Congjing staring at those mobs with an unkind face, one of the Military Intelligence Department came over and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this matter is not simple, it is definitely not a pure mob disorder. Those who were captured by the lowly rank were not ordinary people, and they were by no means civilians! ”

Li Congjing was in a bad mood, he rushed all the way from the government office, and a lot of time had passed in the middle, and he was about to blame the military intelligence department for not doing a good job, and Tao Yaoyao, who arrived first, came over.

Tao Yao said: "Your Highness, it has been ascertained that the perpetrator was ordered by Li Shoujing. They secretly infiltrated yesterday and contacted several wealthy families, and today's incident was deliberate, the purpose was to incite the people, make the situation bigger, and then assassinate the officials of the Qin Palace. ”

"Li Shoujing? Well, very good! Li Congjing laughed angrily, "Keep the disaster water out, it's really a good plan!" It's really bold, there is still a way to be a minister in his eyes, and is there a lonely king?! ”

Li Congjing was so angry that Tao Yaoyao didn't ask how to deal with these troublemakers, and after retreating, he made a throat-cutting gesture to the military intelligence department with a cold face.

Mo Li's folding fan shook very rhythmically, he had already seen a lot of inappropriateness, and said to Li Congjing: "Your Highness, the officials of the Qin Wang's Mansion in Baima County can be protected by the soldiers and the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department, but I am afraid that the officials of other counties will not be so lucky." ”

Mo Li's meaning is very clear, since Li Shoujing wants to make trouble, it is impossible to only target Baima County, and the officials of the Qin Wangfu in other counties must also be in the sequence of dealing with them. And although those counties are also accompanied by soldiers and sharp soldiers from the military intelligence department, after all, the strength is weaker, and it is impossible to see them one by one, once Li Shoujing's people take advantage of the loopholes, the situation faced by those officials can be imagined.

Li Congjing was naturally able to realize the seriousness of the situation, Li Shoujing's unscrupulousness was beyond his expectations, originally he thought that Li Shoujing would be stationed in various places at most, and refused to cooperate with the Qin Palace, but he never thought that Li Shoujing was so bold that he dared to send people out of Puzhou to commit murder.

"Li Shoujing, this is looking for death!" Li Congjing dropped a sentence and turned back to the city, "Order the military intelligence offices of all counties to arrest the murderers, interrogate them on the spot, summarize the charges, post announcements, and report to the center." ”

Back at the mansion, Li Congjing immediately convened the staff office.

Li Congjing's staff office, the responsibilities have always been similar to those of the current envoys.

Originally, some people in the staff office belonged to Lu Longjun and left Youzhou, especially after opening the Ya and building a mansion, Li Congjing rectified the staff office, abolished the original staff officer and scribe system, and removed all the major staff officers from the staff office.

In this way, Mo Li and the others no longer have to manage the daily affairs of the General Staff Office, and can free up their energy to do other things, and the Staff Office is also separated from the combat sequence and enters the Qin Wangfu, becoming the de facto Qin Wangfu Military Aircraft Department.

This is also the inevitable situation that will occur after the staff office and the generals in the army draw a clear line of responsibilities and boundaries, and after Li Congjing's status rises.

When there was no war, the duties of the General Staff Office remained the same, and when there was a war, the Military Intelligence Department summarized the information submitted by various armies and the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Office before the war, and assisted Li Congjing, Mo Li, and others in formulating a big plan.

Gathering the staff office is naturally to convene a military meeting.

The convening of the military conference is naturally for the purpose of conquest.

This shows that Li Congjing is going to use troops against Puzhou.

Li Shoujing's disobedience and arrogance have completely angered Li Congjing.

There is no possibility for the imperial court and Puzhou to be good, and Li Congjing has no intention of pretending to be such an arrogant general.

"Gather information about friend and foe." At the beginning of the military discussion, Li Congjing went directly to the topic, and said so in the first sentence.

The report on the war was authorized by Li Congjing and shared between the Military Intelligence Department and the General Staff Office. After Li Congjing finished saying this, Tao Xiaoyao opened the booklet and read it sentence by sentence: "Seven days ago, the Tianxiong army made Huangfu Hui leave Weizhou. Two days later, they arrived in Juancheng; Three days ago, the Silver Spear Army left the garrison and went to various counties, focusing on the Yellow River and Puyang. ”

The five counties of Puzhou, from west to east, are Puyang, Linpu, Juancheng, Leize and Fanxian, of which Juancheng is the seat of state governance, Puyang and Huazhou are the closest, less than 30 miles away from the dividing line between the two states.

Li Shoujing divided his troops to garrison the Yellow River at Yaojin, intending to prevent the Hundred Battles Army from crossing the river and garrisoning Puyang, naturally to resist the Qin Wangfu entering Puzhou.

The traces of the Hundred Battles Army have been discovered, and Li Shoujing has already dealt with it, and Li Congjing doesn't care about it.

Tao Yaoyao then read: "The Hundred Battles Army dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers, half of the cavalry, led by Meng Ping himself, and now stationed in Dunqiu. For many days, the Hundred Battles Army secretly collected a large number of ships and prepared to cross the river to fight. As of yesterday, the various ministries have been preparing for completion. ”

Tao Yaoyao didn't understand the arrangement of the Hundred Battles Army - this was enough.

After Tao Yao finished reading, Mo Li stood up and said in front of the map: "There are currently nine commanders in the Silver Spear Effectiveness Army, with a total strength of between four thousand and five thousand. Under the division of troops, there will not be many troops from all sides. In other words, the silver spear is effective in defense, and the aggressiveness is categorically insufficient. It is reported that most of its troops were stationed at the Yellow River and reinforced Puyang, only about 1,000. ”

Speaking of which, the situation is already very clear.

As for the battle plan, the General Staff Office had already drawn it up, and Li Congjing was just issuing it at this time.

At the end of the military discussion, Li Congjing got up and said, "From now on, enter a state of combat readiness." Tao commanded the military intelligence department, no longer need to cover up, and go all out to clear the obstacles for the army. ”

Tao Yao got up and took the order. The military intelligence department already has the responsibility of outposts and scouts of the army, and it is their specialty to hunt down enemy rangers and scouts before the war.

"Qin Wangfuwei, only one person with him, and the rest are all left in Huazhou. Wang Sima, you are alone for the time being, and you will sit in Huazhou! In addition, open the treasury of Huazhou, allocate grain, grass, medicine, organize people's forces, and supply the front line! ”

"Command!" Wang Pu awe-inspiring promised.

"All preparations should be completed within three days. Three days later, the soldiers sent to Puyang! ”

Three days later.

Li Congjing only took a hundred horses, from Baima County to Puyang County, less than a hundred miles away, set off at the time of Chen, and arrived in the afternoon.

On the official road, you can already see the county seat of Puyang County. At the head of the city, there are many armor soldiers, and flags are fluttering. The gates of the city were closed, and there was no one on the farmland outside the city, and it was completely on alert before the war.

Mo Li took a folding fan and nodded at Puyang County, and said with a smile: "From this point of view, Li Shoujing is very well prepared!" ”

Li Congjing's face had long since lost the slightest bit of anger, his eyes were full of banter, facing the heavily guarded Puyang County, it was like seeing a toy, "It's okay to take it for viewing, but if you want to make a difference, it's inevitable that it will be unsatisfactory." ”

The team stopped in place for a moment, and a group of cavalry caught up behind, and the leader went straight to Li Congjing, and the hundred Qin Wangfu guards had no intention of stopping him, and the young general came to Li Congjing's side, rolled off the saddle, and bowed: "The last general, Meng Ping, meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

"Get up." When Li Congjing saw Meng Ping, he was in a better mood, "All the cavalry have been brought?" ”

"According to the military order, I brought four thousand horsemen!" Meng Ping said with a smile, "It's all twenty miles away, just wait for His Highness's order, and besiege Puyang City!" ”

Mo Li said with a smile: "I don't know if Li Shoujing is in Puyang City, if he sees these four thousand horsemen, maybe he will change his mind." ”

"Li Shoujing naturally didn't dare to come to Puyang City, he didn't plan to let Gu enter the city, such an rude thing naturally had to be done by the ministry in the future." Li Congjing disagreed.

When the Hundred Battles Army arrived at Dunqiu, there were indeed more than 10,000 soldiers, but everything Li Shoujing saw was what Li Congjing wanted him to see.

Huaizhou is by the river, and Huaizhou also has ships, if Li Congjing intends to raid Puyang, where is the use of letting the Hundred Battles Army move day and night, and move closer to the other side of Puzhou from the land? He only needs a military order, and the Hundred Battles Army can go down the river, catch Li Shoujing off guard, and land directly in Juancheng.

The reason why this is so is just to let Li Shoujing discover the Hundred Battles Army and then be afraid. Li Shoujing saw the Hundred Battles Army, how could he still resist not defending Puzhou? Unless he is extremely convinced that Li Congjing will not do anything to him. Of course, this is impossible. What's more, there is also Huang Fuhui stupidly running over to "help".

Li Shoujing was stationed in Puzhou and resisted the entry of the Qin Palace, so Li Congjing was able to send troops logically.

Using Xu Yonghui is just to give Li Shoujing a little more stimulation, and it can only be regarded as an additional layer of protection for this trip.

From beginning to end, Li Congjing didn't think that Li Shoujing would sit still and be captured, and he didn't plan to let the silver spear escape this catastrophe.

As for the combat power of thousands of silver spears, Li Congjing didn't pay attention to it at all.

Attacking the east and attacking the west is a strategy formulated by the General Staff Office.

The Hundred Battles Army stopped at Dunqiu, just to give Li Shoujing the illusion that the Hundred Battles Army was going to cross the river and fight, so that he would put his heavy troops on the Yellow River.

Puyang was empty, Li Congjing secretly ordered Meng Ping to take the cavalry to make a detour, and he could take advantage of the weakness to enter - Meng Ping's whereabouts would naturally not be discovered, and when the military intelligence department dispatched three days in advance and did not want the other party to discover his whereabouts, the other party could only be blind obediently.

"Although the Puyang guards will not let Gu enter the city, Gu still has to pretend to show his face, and then the army will besiege the city justifiably." Li Congjing smiled slightly, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and slowly moved forward.
