Five days later, Li Guangbi led an army of 50,000 to Chang'an, and the army did not enter Chang'an, but stationed troops on Ba, waiting for Li Qing'an to inspect the army, and then waved his army south, from the Meridian Valley to Hanzhong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, there were already 100,000 troops in Hanzhong, plus the 50,000 elite troops brought by Li Guangbi, a total of 150,000 troops, and the army owned by the Southern Tang Dynasty was 300,000, almost twice as large as the Northern Tang Army, but Li Qingan was not worried at all, winning more with less has always been Li Guangbi's strength, and the 50,000 elite troops brought by him are all veterans of Anxi who have experienced a hundred battles, and with these 50,000 elites, Li Qingan also believes that they can sweep Jiannan.

The army was stationed in Bashang, Li Qingan rushed to the barracks early in the morning, Bashang has been a garrison place since ancient times, Zhou Yafu of the Western Han Dynasty was stationed here, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty came to reward the army, Zhou Yafu really let him appreciate what is the real general.

Li Guangbi did not camp in the ready-made military camp, this is his habit, he always believed that the soft water and soil of the Central Plains would wear away the fierceness of the Western Regions army, so no matter where he was stationed, he would let the soldiers maintain the true character of the desert garrison.

Erect fences, live in camp tents, sleep on carpets, do not take off their armor during the war, do not leave the sword and gun at hand, each tent has soldiers on duty, this strict way of garrisoning has been maintained to this day, it is such a strict military discipline, so that he can finally break the 30,000 Yan army with 3,000 cavalry in Xiangzhou, and shock the world.

Li Guangbi's military camp was stationed on an open high ground, and Li Qing'an led 3,000 guards to come at a gallop, and he saw the neat barracks and high guard towers from afar.

At this time, a rocket was fired from the watchtower and exploded in the air, which was to ask them for their identity, although the Li Guangbi military camp had received a report from the scouts in advance, this was their general coming, but the rules of the military camp were like this, and they could not give up because they were their own people.

Immediately an arrow was shot from among Li Qing'an's personal guard cavalry, and the rocket whistled into the sky and exploded in the air, which was a response to the barracks, and only the Anxi army had such rockets.

The door of the camp was wide open, and Li Guangbi led dozens of generals to greet them, all of them lined up, all wearing helmets and armor, with anticipation and excitement in their eyes.

There are two generals standing in front, the tall and thin general in the middle, the dark-skinned general is the main general Li Guangbi, he wears a silver helmet, the silver helmet a cluster of fiery red helmets fluttering in the wind, it seems that he is majestic, half a step behind him, is the deputy general Tian Qianzhen, he also wears a silver helmet, but it is a white helmet, everyone is solemn, waiting for Li Qing'an's arrival.

In a moment, the sound of horses' hooves came like muffled thunder, getting closer and closer, as if the sky was falling apart, and suddenly disappeared again, leaving only the sound of more than 100 war horses' hooves, and a hundred cavalry had already surrounded Li Qing'an to the front of the camp, and the horse's hooves kicked a few times, and Li Qing'an reined in the war horse.

Li Guangbi immediately led the generals to kneel down on one knee and gave Li Qingan one knee, "The last general, Li Guangbi, led the generals of Longyou to see the general!" ”

"See the General!"

Li Qing'an's title in the army has been changed to general, this is because a few days ago the political affairs hall officially issued an order to commend the officers and men of the three armies, among which Li Guangbi, Li Siye and Feng Changqing were promoted to the general of the town army from the second rank, Li Guangbi was named the prince and young master, Li Siye was named the prince and young master, and Feng Changqing was named the prince and young guard.

And Li Fei Yuanli, He Lou Yurun, Li Sheng, Li Fei Shouyu, Duan Xiushi, Cui Qianyou, Lei Wanchun and others were also named champion generals, so that Li Qingan was not the only general in the Anxi Army.

But in terms of title, there is only one general in the Anxi army, Li Qingan also felt inappropriate, he asked the three armies to change the name of him to the general, because he was already a general of Tiance, everyone listened to his advice, all changed him to the general, and used flying pigeons to spread the message to the military camps in various places.

Li Qingan turned over and dismounted, helped Li Guangbi up, and said with a smile: "I thought General Guangbi should have arrived before, why was it two days late?" ”

Li Guangbi was ashamed and said: "I was in Luoyang, a war horse died of illness, and I was worried that it was horse plague, so I stopped to check the horses for two days, so I came late, please forgive the general." ”

Li Qing'an nodded, "If on the battlefield, when Gu Zhan ignores the horse, in the march and transfer, when Gu Ma and then Gu Zhan, General Guangbi handles it properly, and he is not guilty!" ”

Li Guangbi was grateful in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you General, please inspect the General's barracks." ”

"Good! Let's talk about it again when we enter the camp. ”

Li Qingan saw that everyone was very nervous, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, please feel free, don't be so nervous, I am not a military discipline officer, and I will not check your old background." ”

Li Qing'an's easy-going humor made everyone relax all of a sudden, and they all talked and laughed and walked towards the barracks, Li Qing'an slowed down a step, smiled at Tian Qianzhen and said, "Congratulations on getting a noble son." ”

Tian Qianzhen's wife gave birth to a son in Chang'an last month, but her wife was frail and almost died of childbirth, fortunately, Princess Zhao Dugu Mingyue ordered someone to urgently send a thousand-year-old ginseng and took a breath of relief, only to slowly turn the crisis into safety, Tian Qianzhen has received a letter from home, and the gratitude in his heart is difficult to express in words.

He immediately knelt down to thank him, but was supported by Li Qingan, and said lightly: "As the commander of the generals in Anxi, I led the generals to fight in front of the enemy, and I have no time to take care of the rear, my younger brothers and sisters are in trouble, if the princess turns a blind eye, she is an unqualified princess, this is her business, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Tian Qianzhen nodded silently, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the general's heartfelt words, the humble position can only be effectively repaid with death!" ”

Li Qingan patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go!" Let's go and talk about the military situation. ”

........

When the generals walked into the big tent, they all consciously lined up the tents, and the rule of the Anxi Army was that officers above the rank of lieutenant general could observe, but only officers above the rank of general had the right to speak.

There is a huge sand table in the middle of the big tent, this is the sand table diagram of Hanzhong and Bashu, which has been made two years ago, and it has not really come in handy until today.

The vanguard of the southern expedition by the general Xi Yuanqing, he has been in Shu for many years, the terrain and combat methods of Bashu are very familiar, he picked up the wooden pole and pointed to Nan Zheng said: "The land of Hanzhong has been occupied by us, so that the difficulty of the southern expedition is reduced by at least half, attacking Bashu, the difficulty is not the battle, but the march, Li Taibai once said: Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky!" ”

Li Qingan interrupted him with a smile, "I don't think it's going to be so difficult!" ”

Li Guangbi understood what Li Qing'an meant, at this time, when he needed to boost morale, he couldn't let the soldiers be afraid of difficulties first, so he said to Xi Yuanqing: "Most of Li Taibai's poems are exaggerated, you don't want to use poems, just say it according to the actual situation." ”

"Yes!"

Xi Yuanqing continued: "There are three roads from Hanzhong to Shu, one is the Golden Bull Road, which is the main road to Shu, the road is slightly flat, and you can ride horses, but there are natural dangers and obstacles such as Jianmen Pass.

The second is the Rice Cang Road, which has to cross the Rice Cang Mountain, and the road is very difficult and dangerous, and ordinary people do not take it.

The third is the lychee road, through Bashan to Tongzhou Xuanhan County, this road was overhauled in the Tianbao years, to Yang Guifei to send lychees is to take this road, to keep the lychee fresh, it is necessary to gallop horses, so this road to take the cavalry is the most suitable, but far away from Chengdu. ”

Li Qing'an glanced at Li Guangbi, he knew that Li Guangbi must have studied it a long time ago, and even the battle plan had been decided, so he smiled slightly and said, "General Guangbi talk about it!" Your battle plan. ”

Li Guangbi did not postpone, took the wooden pole from Xi Yuanqing's hand, and said: "In fact, I have talked to many Bashu soldiers, the Jiannan Army is no longer the Jiannan Army of Gao Xianzhi, the army is weak, morale is low, and the training is seriously insufficient, far from our opponent, as General Xi used just now, the key is Shu Road, as long as we cross Shu Road, the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be just around the corner, I plan to complement each other this time, the main force will take the Golden Bull Road, attack the Jianmen Pass, and then surprise the troops to take the Lychee Road, detour to attack Chengdu, In this way, the Jiannan army will be difficult to take care of, and the combat effectiveness will collapse quickly, this is my rough plan, I will lead the main force to take the Golden Bull Road, and Tian Qianzhen will lead 10,000 cavalry to take the Lychee Road, I don't know what the general thinks? ”

Li Qingan pondered for a moment and said: "The general direction is correct, and it can complement each other, but there are some details that you must implement, especially the magic weapon of our Anxi Army, full and comprehensive information, you must not forget." ”

Li Guangbi arched his hand, "Remember the humble duty!" ”

.......

All the generals dispersed, and there were only a few core generals left in the big tent, and Li Qingan said his idea: to go to the army and plot.

"I said the importance of intelligence just now, maybe you didn't understand what I meant, of course, it's normal that you don't understand, I mean to make full use of the civil strife in the Southern Tang Dynasty, go to the army to fight and plot, and take the Southern Tang with the least casualties."

Li Qing'an's words made Li Guangbi realize, and he hurriedly said: "What does the general mean is that there has been civil strife in the Southern Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li Qing'an nodded slowly, "I have received accurate information, there is a rift between Li Heng and the crown prince Li line, Li Heng wants to make his other son Peng Wang Li only the crown prince and abolish the current crown prince, but the prince line is very well-connected in the Southern Tang Dynasty, especially with the support of the military, so the father and son will fight for power, there must be an injury, this battle of conquest in the Southern Tang Dynasty, you are only a frontal battlefield, in fact, there is a second battlefield." ”

Li Qingan looked back at Tian Qianzhen again, and said with a slight smile: "General Tian, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"The second battlefield of the Admiral refers to the Intelligence Hall!"

"That's right!"

Li Qingan said to everyone again: "The predecessor of the Intelligence Hall is the Han and Tang Societies, you must have heard of it, as early as a hundred years ago, the Han and Tang Societies operated their forces in Bashu, which has been deeply rooted, and our Intelligence Hall has infiltrated the Southern Tang Dynasty officialdom when Li Longji entered Shu, just as the Southern Tang Dynasty can win over our officials, we have also attracted a group of officials, and there are some people who are lurking deep, which you can't imagine, so when I decided to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, I have already ordered the people of the Intelligence Hall to start acting, so this battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty, In fact, there are two fronts, one is your frontal attack, and the second is the second battlefield of the Intelligence Hall inside the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan took out a document and handed it to Li Guangbi, "This is the list of the main intelligence personnel of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is a top secret, since I have appointed you as the main general this time, the people from the Chengdu Intelligence Hall will contact you directly, so that it is more convenient for you to cooperate with each other." ”

Li Guangbi took the list and nodded silently, "I understand!" ”

Li Qing'an patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the soldiers standing guard outside the tent and said: "These soldiers are all veterans who followed us, Anxi fought a hundred battles, and then moved to the Central Plains, we should try our best to save their surnames and lives, so that they can return to their hometowns with glory and reunite with their families, so in this battle, my request to you is not that you can defeat the Southern Tang, but to what extent you occupy Chengdu with the least casualties......"

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Guangbi set out from the camp and led an army of 50,000 to bypass Chang'an and head towards the Meridian Road.
