Chapter 640 is a small situation with a view of the world

There was a faint smell of tea in the room, and the heat from the teacup gradually spread in the study. The study room of the Qi Wangfu is large enough and there are enough books, which is definitely a good thing for a person who can stay in a place all day as long as he has cigarettes and books in his previous life. Li Xian likes to read, likes to write, when he was a child, on the way to escape, he was very bored and would write indiscriminately on the ground with a wooden stick, what to take other people's road so that others have no way to go, such a warning world does not know that he has been written by him on a beach somewhere with wild grass penmanship, and then the soles of his feet are gone.

Later, the identity became more and more noble, and the inkstone in the study was replaced with a two-ladder-footed inkstone, and the paper was also the best, and there were nine kinds of pens, but the mentality of writing remained the same. As for reading, all words have some attraction for him, once Li Xian laughed and talked on the way to escape, and in the future, he really couldn't mix it up, so he silently wrote the golden bottle plum to earn some silver to live.

When he had nothing to do, Li Xian would sit in the study and look at the books stored in the palace. Most of these books are still very new, and it is obvious that the former owner does not seem to have any interest in books, and these things are just for example, but they are cheaper than Li Xian.

Putting down the book in his hand, Li Xian glanced at Nie Duo and Wu Yunzhao.

"Today, Liu Zhenghui came to the mansion to sit down and talk about Li Shimin."

Li Xian took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Liu Zhenghui said that Li Xiaogong led the army to chase into Xicheng County, but Li Shimin's command had already received reinforcements from Han Shixu, and he had collected a lot of men and horses in Xicheng County. Speaking of which, Li Shimin is bold enough, and he dared to run to grab territory with Xiao Mo just after getting Han Shicao's soldiers and horses...... Xiao Mo has an army of 400,000 in his hands. ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "I don't know where he got his confidence, but after all, his subordinates are more than 20,000 people in the hands of Han Shixu, plus the 20,000 or 30,000 county soldiers and people who have been recruited, such a force seems to be completely indifferent to Xiao Miao." ”

Wu Yunzhao and Nie Duo didn't know what Li Xian meant, so they just listened quietly.

Xiao Mian occupies the land of Jingxiang, west of Sichuan and Shu, and is several times more powerful than Du Fuweilai. This person is a descendant of the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, and his aunt is Yang Guang's wife, Empress Xiao. He started to fight against the Sui in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, and achieved a career with almost no setbacks. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he also established the Liang State in Jiangling, and set up hundreds of officials and counties according to the old system of the Xiao Liang Dynasty.

Li Xian paused and said, "Liu Zheng will come here to talk to me about this, just to come to visit me for Li Yuan." Now Li Yuan's troops are also stretched, the forbidden army in Chang'an City, the city defense army, and the soldiers and horses in Hedong County add up to a lot, no less than eighty or ninety thousand, but with our people in the north of Chang'an, how dare Li Yuan mobilize Chang'an soldiers and horses to help Li Xiaogong at will? It's not that I'm going south, it's really beautiful. ”

"If I take the Ruijin Battalion and the Sailor Division soldiers and horses south, the strength of our Yanyun Army will be completely dispersed. The men and horses of the military division, the men and horses of the Yuwen scholars, plus my personal guard battalion and the Ruijin battalion are all over the place. After I go south, Li Yuan will naturally mobilize people to block the way back from me, and then find a way to solve the general's division and Yuwenshi and solve the ......"

When he said these words, there was a faint mockery on the corners of his mouth.

"Li Yuan and I have done enough play, and I originally planned to let me lead the troops to fight to the death with Dou Jiande, but Li Shimin's matter disrupted his deployment, so he took the opportunity to break up the Yan Yunjun army."

Wu Yunzhao thought for a while and said, "Li Yuan didn't know that the military division had returned victoriously, let alone that the military division had led the army to Hedong. If he knew, it would be time to tear his face apart. So it's not a bad thing that he has this idea, at least it shows that he doesn't know the movements of the military advisor yet. ”

Li Xian nodded and said: "It will take some time for the military division to take Hedong County, as long as Hedong County is taken, it will not be so easy for the soldiers and horses left by Li Yuan in Taiyuan to go south to Chang'an." As long as a good general is sent to guard the east of the river with tens of thousands of troops, Chang'an is almost a lonely city...... As for Dou Jiande, the news from the secret spy said that he did try several times to prepare to cross the river to the south, but was blocked by Su Shengcai's troops. ”

"What Lai Yuan said is right, Su Sheng is a well-guarded general. The Great Sui Sailor Division was originally divided into three divisions, one from Laiyuan, one from Su Shengcai, and one part surrendered to Du Fuwei. Now the three are in my hands, which is also something that Li Yuan doesn't know. The military division took the waterway with Du Fuwei's sailors, so the progress was not slow, and it was not difficult to have Su Shengcai and Yu Wenshi and block Dou Jiande. ”

After analyzing the current situation, he said: "My current odds of winning lie in the fact that Li Yuan has too much to ignore. ”

"But the lord ......"

Nie Duo frowned slightly and asked, "Since Liu Zhenghui has come to test it, it won't be long before Li Yuan will talk to you himself." The subordinates felt that they just took advantage of this opportunity to go out of the city. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "The important thing is that Liu Zhenghui sent me some new tea today, mentioning something that even he doesn't care about, but I have to care......"

Li Xian paused for a moment and said: "The new tea has arrived in Chang'an, and Liu Zhenghui casually said that it was sent by land...... It stands to reason that the new tea that took the water route should arrive first, but the land route arrived first...... I thought that the military division killed too the river, but it missed some horses' feet. If you think about it carefully, you will guess that there must be something wrong with the waterway. Li Yuan is a very cautious person, and he is still bothered that he doesn't have the heart to worry about these little things, but I can't ignore it, so you have to hurry up. ”

Li Xian instructed: "Chang'an City must be more chaotic, the more chaotic the better, the sooner the chaos is better, we can't let Li Yuan have the heart and time to think about the things on the side, let him be anxious about the affairs in Chang'an City all day long, and delay the military division for a few more days...... So kill those who deserve to be killed, as soon as possible. ”

"But it's only been a few days since I killed Song Yu, isn't it too compact?"

"At first we could walk slowly, but now we have to run."

Li Xian said lightly: "We also have to let our opponent run along." ”

……

……

In fact, Li Xian didn't understand why Li Shimin dared to think about Xiao with fifty or sixty thousand not elite people. He was in that position now, and he had no other way than to seize Xiao Miao's territory and expand his forces among the people. Because Li Yuan did not choose, the imperial court did not issue a notice about Li Shimin's rebellion. Officials in the southern counties did not yet know of Li Shimin's rebellion, but Li Xiaogong followed him.

In Datang's territory, he no longer has the ability to expand his strength. Li Xiaogong bit tightly, although he has more soldiers and Li Xiaogong has fewer soldiers, but he can't go back and get rid of Li Xiaogong, so that the officials in the southern counties will be suspicious, and Li Xiaogong will never allow him to recruit soldiers with peace of mind. The Tang Dynasty can't replenish its strength, and the land of Sichuan and Shu is too difficult to do, I'm afraid that if I can't beat a few cities, I will be caught up by Li Xiaogong, and there is no doubt that Li Xiaogong, who has replenished his troops, cannot be underestimated.

But if he moved troops against Xiao Miao, Li Xiaogong would never dare to drag him behind. In case something happened to him, Li Xiaogong would never be able to explain in front of Li Yuan. On the contrary, if he had a fierce battle with Xiao Miao, Li Xiaogong said that he would send reinforcements in desperation. Li Shimin did this in order to reverse the declining trend and change from passive to active.

As long as he defeats Xiao Miao, he will be able to obtain the rich land of Jingxiang. At that time, there will also be capital to confront Li Yuan, and Li Yuan will also be given a step to welcome him back. Calming Xiao Milling can be regarded as a great merit in any case. Li Yuan just used this as an excuse to let Li Shimin return to Chang'an.

The most helpless is Li Xiaogong, who originally led troops to chase Li Shimin. Now that Li Shimin is aiming his troops at Xiao Miao, an outsider, he has to think about Li Shimin everywhere. If Li Shimin's troops are insufficient, there is really any danger, and he must also lead his troops to rush to the rescue.

And Li Yuan planned to let Li Xian take his men and horses to support Li Xiaogong, firstly, to disperse the strength of Yanyun's army, and secondly, to take the opportunity of the war with Xiao Mo to consume Li Xian's troops. Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin are not stupid, as long as Li Xian leads troops to them, they will find a way to let Li Xian face Xiao Mo to fight.

It seems that Li Yuan's calculations and Li Shimin's calculations are very good.

As long as Li Xian and Li Yuan don't tear their faces for a day, and the role that Li Xian is playing now can't help but obey Li Yuan's orders, then Li Yuan will definitely be the winner.

This is an overall situation, but Li Xian thought of a small situation that did not leave Chang'an City to break the overall situation.

And Li Xian didn't have any worries about Li Shimin's attack on Xiao Miao, on the contrary, he knew that Li Shimin had only this way to go. So he is happy to see Li Shimin go to fight with Xiao Miao, Xiao Mi will fight sooner or later, since Li Shimin is going to fight first, how can Li Xian not be happy to see it?

If you can let Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong's men and horses fight with Xiao Mian, and lose both, Yan Yun's army will be able to attack Jingxiang in the south in the future, and it will take less effort.

Destroyed Du Fuwei, and the land of Jianghuai fell into the hands of Li Xian. In the future, as long as Xiao Mo is destroyed again and Jingxiang is occupied, he can take advantage of the situation to enter Sichuan and Shu in the west. These are all things that must be done, just as Dou Jiande in Hebei is bound to be destroyed. Destroy Du Fuwei, and then destroy Xiao Mill, Jianghuai, and the land of Sichuan and Shu will be flat, and the entire Jiangnan will be in control. Destroy Dou Jiande and occupy the land of Hebei, you can connect with Zhuo County, and the entire northern convenience is pacified for eight points.

The rest is the land of Guanlong, and as long as Chang'an is taken, this is not a problem.

Li Xian is playing a big game of chess, although it seems that he is now playing a small game in Chang'an City, but his eyes are outside Chang'an and the world.

The Imperial Study

After Liu Zhenghui went to the Qi Palace, he came directly to Li Yuan to restore his life, but this trip was a little useless. He talked with Li Xian for a full hour, and he led the topic to the matter of going south several times, and Li Xian deviated from the topic several times. Liu Zhenghui was helpless, so he had to find another topic, and then remind Li Xian step by step. But if Li Xian wants to pretend to be stupid, how can anyone make him smarter? For a whole hour, Li Xian only talked about calligraphy and painting, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and even talked about clothing and women's jewelry, but he didn't say a word about going south.

Li Yuan listened to Liu Zhenghui's reply, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Tomorrow I will summon him into the palace and hear what he has to say. If he is not willing to lead his troops south...... I made an edict directly in the court. Unless he wants to do the opposite now, he can't refuse. ”

Li Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Wouldn't you be too anxious?"

Liu Zhenghui reminded: "If Your Majesty makes a clear order, he will accept it on the surface, and return to Juyeze by boat with his troops, and it seems that there is no way to stop him." The minister thought that he should still find a way to make him willing to go. ”

"Where is the way!"

Li Yuan said with slight annoyance.

"It's better to take Pei Lin and persuade him tomorrow, if it doesn't work out, Your Majesty will make another order."

"So be it"

Li Yuan rubbed the corners of his sour eyebrows, always feeling a little uneasy.
