In Hezhou City, Li Hong's mansion was very dimly lit, because everyone was resting, only Li Hong was reading in the study, and only Chen Gong was left......

Li Hong put down the book, stared at Chen Gong and asked, "Did Xue Na and Li Jingxuan send news?" ”

His plan was to defeat Lu Dongzan's army in Dafeichuan and destroy Lu Dongzan, a hero. Therefore, all his actions in Hezhou City were to pave the way for the future battle of Dafeichuan. Now after a throat-cutting killing, he has already paved the way for Lu Dongzan, if Guo 'Shi' Feng can stop Lu Dongzan's army from frantically attacking the city, can not let the city of Hezhou break within three days, and can also cause huge casualties to Lu Dongzan who is besieging the city, he is confident that he can destroy Lu Dongzan and his Tubo 'Jing' cavalry in Dafeichuan.

"After passing through, they have already controlled the two iron horses, but it is estimated that it will take three more days to reach the predetermined location." Chen Gong replied respectfully, as Li Hong's personal guard general, his duty is not only to protect the safety of the prince, but also to collect news for the prince and deliver news and battle reports. However, he also has a position as a general of the guard, which is to act as an intelligence officer beside the prince in Yan Zhuang's absence.

"Does it take three days?" Li Hong asked rhetorically, and then nodded slightly, "It's not bad as Gu expected, I really need to give them three days." ”

Let Lu Dongzan attack the city because of anger, three days can not capture the city, the morale of the Tubo army plummeted, coupled with Lu Dongzan's performance in the throat-cutting battle, rumors will spread in the Tubo camp, when he goes out of the city to lure Lu Dongzan again, Lu Dongzan will definitely pursue and kill him desperately, and then he will lure Lu Dongzan and the Tubo army to 'lure' Da Fei Chuan, and encircle Lu Dongzan on three sides to destroy Lu Dongzan, this is Li Hong's plan now.

"Or will you urge them again?" Chen Gong said quite worriedly, in Chen Gong's opinion, even if there are 30,000 more defenders in Hezhou City, it is also very dangerous to face the crazy Lu Dongzan, and in three days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will implement his plan, Xue Na and Li Jingxuan must ensure that they are ambushed at the predetermined location, otherwise let Lu Dongzan's army surround His Royal Highness the Prince, and then it will be troublesome, how can His Royal Highness the Prince, who only has more than 5,000 cavalry, be the opponent of 100,000 Tubo 'Jing' cavalry?

Li Hong sighed, "I still don't want it." They wanted to escape the scouts of the Tubo people, and rushed to Dafeichuan to ambush without knowing it, and it was indeed difficult for them to give them another three days. ”

Dafeichuan is in the territory of Tubo, Xue Na and Li Jingxuan led their respective iron cavalry to ambush in Dafeichuan, and not let the Tubo people find out, it really needs a big test to test the leadership ability of the two of them.

Li Hong was very aware of this difficulty, so he didn't 'force' the two too close. Besides, he is not in a hurry here, so why do you have to 'force' the two of them to hurry?

When Chen Gong heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this, he didn't say anything anymore.

"Apart from them, is there any movement in the army of the Western Regions King Fangyi?" Li Hong asked.

Whether or not the Tubo 'fine' cavalry can be completely wiped out in Dafeichuan, the old one depends on Wang Fangyi's army, Wang Fangyi's iron cavalry is the most 'elite' existence of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and Wang Fangyi's gathering of more than 100,000 cavalry from dozens of countries in Western Shu is indeed the most important factor in the success of Li Hong's battle plan.

Chen Gong shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "No." ”

He knew very well how important Wang Fangyi's army was in the prince's plan, but the plan would be implemented in three days, and he had not received any news from the Western Regions army so far, and Chen Gong was very anxious.

If there were no Wang Fangyi's 100,000 iron cavalry, even if the prince's plan succeeded, it is difficult to say whether he could kill Lu Dongzan, but there might be a possibility of being defeated by Lu Dongzan. The Northwest Plateau, a bitter cold land, is not suitable for the Tang Dynasty cavalry to fight for long distances, especially the pro-army around the prince. Therefore, in this regard, Chen Gong was most worried about the safety of the crown prince Li Hong.

When Li Hong heard Chen Gong say this, he smiled slightly, smiled very happily, smiled very happily.

Chen Gong couldn't understand that there was no news from Wang Fangyi's army, why the prince was still small, and he smiled so happily, so he asked, "Your Highness, what are you?" ”

Chen Gong is a little stupid, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry? Chen Gong couldn't help but be angry in his heart, Wang Fangyi is too much of a thing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good to you, how can you be like this? You are delaying His Royal Highness the Prince's plan and adding to His Royal Highness the Prince's blockage!

"From the Western Regions to Dafeichuan, a large part of the place belongs to Tubo, which is thousands of miles wide, you have to let Wang Fangyi lead 100,000 iron horsemen to be able to sneak into Dafeichuan silently, this is too difficult." Li Hong said.

Chen Gong nodded slightly, agreeing with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

"But Wang Fangyi did it, isn't Gu happy?" Li Hong asked with a smile.

"This-" Chen Gong was stunned, he didn't know what to say, he didn't receive the news that Wang Fangyi had arrived in Dafeichuan, how could Wang Fangyi have already arrived in Dafeichuan?

Li Hong saw that Chen Gong was puzzled, so he explained, "100,000 troops sneaked into Tibet, how can the people of Tubo not know? If they found out, Wang Fangyi estimated that he would send a messenger to send news to Lone, but now he didn't send someone to deliver the news, which means that the Tubo people didn't find out, and he didn't want to startle the Tubo people to know his location, do you understand? ”

After Li Hong said this, Chen Gong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but look ashamed.

Li Hong smiled, "Don't feel that you don't believe in it, you are very discouraged, you are different from him, he is handsome, you are a brave general, otherwise my father will not let you be a lonely general." ”

When Chen Gong heard the prince say this, he affirmed his ability, so he thanked him from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

"By the way, is there any news from Liangzhou today?" Li Hong asked, even if he wasn't worried about Pei Xingjian's defense of the city, he still wanted to have a more comprehensive understanding of the battle situation in the northwest.

"The news came, saying that Mani suffered a loss during the siege of the city and wanted to let the army rest for a day, but he didn't expect to be seized by Pei Xingjian to attack the camp and kill many Tubo soldiers." Chen Gong replied.

"How many killed?" Li Hong asked, not surprised at all that Pei Xingjian, who was several times less numerous than Mani, could still fight back and win a big battle.

"This—" Chen Gong was a little hesitant, not knowing whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should say it. Seeing this, Li Hong said lightly, "Say it, it's not a big deal." ”

"The news said that this attack on the camp killed 10,000 'elite' horsemen in Tubo." Chen Gong said in a low voice, Chen Gong couldn't believe this result, because Pei Xingjian's original strength was 20,000, and he lost a lot of losses in several 'exchanges' with Mani, how could he kill so many Tubo soldiers in one attack on the camp, even 10,000 pigs had to be killed for half a day, not to mention the Tubo soldiers who were so strong in combat that they trembled? I didn't dare to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, for fear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be angry and would make some reckless moves when he rushed down.

However, what Chen Gong didn't expect was that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard this number, he didn't get angry or question, but smiled even more.

"It's worthy of Pei Xingjian!" Li Hong said with a smile, this is the famous general in his mind, "Immediately inform Guo 'servant' of this news and seal them, and also, you will send someone to inform Sun Chuyu of this news, and ask them to send more things to Liangzhou Cheng, and let Pei Xingjian reward the soldiers of the three armies." As for the reward, when the Tubo army is destroyed this time, Lone will ask him and his father for credit. ”

"No!" Chen Gong received the order.

"It's okay, just go down!" Li Hong said. Chen Gong bowed slightly and exited the study.

When Chen Gong withdrew, the smile on Li Hong's face disappeared, replaced by a chilling domineering spirit. The extermination of Tibet is just a small plan for him at this stage, destroying Tibet, and then destroying Goryeo, Baekje and Silla, followed by pacifying the Western Regions, stabilizing the situation in the southwest again, and incorporating the southwestern countries into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then attacking Fusang with the help of the water fleet, making Fusang a colony of the Tang Dynasty, and then reorganizing the multinational army and storing enough food to conquer Europe.

In Li Hong's mind, the conquest of the European continent was the beginning of his road to hegemony.

Conquer the black clothes and food, and then conquer the countries of the European continent, let the world float the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty, and let the people of the world speak Chinese, read Hanzi, wear Hanfu, and learn the etiquette of the Han people.

This is the goal of his Li Hong's life.

The throne of the Tang Dynasty and the battle with the Empress Wu are just preparations for his future goals.

Thinking of this, Li Hong smiled.

……

In Hezhou City, a small courtyard is pitch black, and as long as a veteran of a hundred battles passes by this courtyard, he can smell the strong murderous aura inside. Because in this courtyard, there are many black-clothed 'squires' guarding a room with swords. The lights in this room seem to be very dim, but the words coming from inside are enough to blow up the entire Tang Empire.

Because there were four people in this room, and they were all enlightened monks over forty years old, and they were saying things that were very contrary.

"Lu Dongzan said, tomorrow night, let us secretly open the 'gate' of the city and let his army enter the city, and he will capture Li Hong alive with his own hands." And the chief of the four said,

"Didn't we kill Li Hong?" The youngest monk of the four asked.

"Our goal of killing Li Hong is too big, let alone killing him, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Datang, and we will be retaliated against by Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang." The leader explained, "But if Lu Dongzan captures Li Hong, and we wait for the opportunity to kill him and put all the blame on Lu Dongzan, what do you think will happen?" ”

"Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang will avenge Li Hong and start a war with Tubo, and Datang and Tubo will fight to the death."

"Doesn't that give us a good chance to rise?" The leader laughed.

The three people in the room suddenly realized, and their eyes flashed with 'essence', and they couldn't help but admire their leader.

"The three of you need to be personally responsible for this matter, so you can't be careless, but I won't be involved tomorrow night." The leader said. The remaining three didn't think there was anything wrong with the leader saying this, so they bowed down and said, "Amitabha!! ”
