Glancing at this person who he was bent on subduing, Li Guanqi went straight to the point and said: "Why didn't you say goodbye last time, why did you come here again today?" ”

Zhao Zhengdao: "Don't hide what Your Majesty said, last time Caomin and others said goodbye without saying goodbye, they couldn't trust Your Majesty, but since we left, we have been secretly following Your Majesty." Seeing what His Majesty has done, it is indeed for the sake of the people. Today, after His Majesty heard that Liuyunzhai had attacked Wei County, he hurriedly sent people to the direction of Xiangyang, thinking that he was going to transfer troops. ”

"Not bad!" Li Guanqi nodded with a smile and said, "Since you came to see me, you must have something to say to me." I'd love to hear what you, the former master of Liuyun Village, have to do to solve the danger of Wei County! ”

"Siege Wei to save Zhao, go straight to the bandit's hole!" Zhao Zheng said lightly.

Li Guanqi puffed out his cheeks, smiled slightly and said, "The knowledge is extraordinary, but I have already thought of it." The messenger just now went to Xiangyang to transfer troops, first attacking the cottage, and then Xu Tu enterprising. ”

Zhao Zhengan couldn't see the disappointed expression on Li Guanqi's face, and said with a light smile at the moment: "Your Majesty, do you know how far this place is from Xiangyang?" ”

"About three hundred miles!" Li Guanqi didn't know why Zhao Zheng asked this, and subconsciously replied.

"How far is it from Xiangyang to Fuyu Mountain?" Zhao Zheng asked again.

"Four hundred miles!" Li Guanqi's eyes were even more puzzled.

Zhao Zheng said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, this time and again is more than 700 miles, even if you change horses and people along the way, you have to run for two days." How much more is it a march of the great army? If it is really as the emperor thinks, the arrival of the garrison of Xiangyang to Fuyu Mountain will be seven days later, and Wei County is afraid that it will not be able to support it for so long. ”

Before Zhao Zheng finished speaking, Li Guanqi's face had already changed, he had already understood his clever plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", but in fact, he was just taking it for granted. It's not practical.

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi hurriedly put away his contempt completely, stared at Zhao Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for your reminder, I almost missed a big thing!" Please don't hesitate to give advice, how to use this plan to save Zhao from Wei Wei! ”

"How dare you go to the Pope?" Zhao Zheng saw Li Guanqi as the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was so obedient to him, and he had a good impression of him in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Actually, Your Majesty has elite soldiers available in front of him, why do you have to go near and far?" ”

Li Guanqi smiled bitterly and said, "You don't live in the temple, some things are not very clear, in short, unless absolutely necessary, my Xiao Cavalry Guard and Yulin Guard cannot be used." ”

Zhao Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth. said: "If you don't use Your Majesty's pro-army, there is still a dangerous move in the game, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to use it!" ”

Li Guanqi said categorically: "The soldiers are fierce and the war is dangerous, how can there be a perfect strategy? It's better than me, and I'll use it. ”

Zhao Zheng saw that Li Guanqi was really good, so he said with a deep sigh: "Liuyun Village of Fuyu Mountain has a history of several decades, and it is only the third master of Liuyun Village in Xia, and it turns out that the brothers on the mountain are just unbearable because of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Therefore, the purpose of the grass is only to resist the government's taxation and force the landlords to reduce rent and waive rent.

In fact. Before the Wuzong Dynasty, it was still a peaceful scene. It is said that Emperor Wuzong was also very moved, and he also issued an edict to exempt this place from paying taxes for ten years......

But the good times were short-lived. When Emperor Muzong was in power, Li Moran took over the power of Jiannan, and successively put on a few magistrates who did not care about the life and death of the people, so harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes followed, and the people were ruined one by one. There is no way, so I have to go up the mountain and be a thief!

Although everyone has been robbers, our brothers in Liuyunzhai have always been particular about thieves and Taoists, we never kill innocents indiscriminately, and we never rob the poor. It's just that since Xia Liu stole the throne, he has been indiscriminate and really raised up for the trouble. ”

Zhao Zheng was talking, and seeing that Li Guanqi had been silent, he glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, don't think that I am far away, in fact, this is the source of chaos." If the fundamental problem is not solved, even if the chaos can be successfully quelled this time, there will be people who will continue to go up the mountain as soon as the army leaves. ”

In fact, regarding Li Moran's question, Li Guanqi has already learned some information from the intelligence department, but it is not as impactful as Zhao Zheng's appearance. But at the same time, he also knew that Li Moran supported the army and respected himself, and it was not a simple sentence or a will that could stop him, so he still couldn't solve this chaos for the time being, so he smiled and said, "No, I've been listening." However, at the moment, the military situation is critical. I'm more anxious to hear your best way out of the siege. ”

Zhao Zheng sighed slightly, and had to turn the topic back and said: "Fuyu Mountain is four hundred miles away from Xiangyang, and this place is three hundred miles away from Xiangyang, and the location we are in now is only more than a hundred miles away from Fuyu Mountain.

Your Majesty can draw hundreds of elites from your pro-army and change their clothes, and no one will know that this is the emperor's pro-army. We marched in the starry night, and took advantage of the opportunity of Xia Liu to fight Wei County, and went directly to Liuyunzhai, which is the real sense of the attack.

The reason why Xia Liu dared to attack Wei County was because he knew that the nearest city with a large army was Xiangyang, and he could capture Wei County without waiting for Xiangyang's army to arrive. ”

He Ziming frowned again and again when he heard this, although he didn't understand military affairs, he subconsciously felt that it was really unreliable for hundreds of people to sneak attack the base camp of more than 10,000 people, and he just wanted to open his mouth to dissuade him, but he saw that Li Guanqi had waved his hand again and again and stopped him.

Li Guanqi pursed his lips and thought carefully: As Zhao Zheng said, what he did was indeed a risky move, and it was very dangerous, if Xia Liu found out, these hundreds of people would be dumplings. But his suggestion did take the lead in surprise and speed.

After a while, Li Guanqi turned around and asked in a deep voice: "You used to be the big boss of Liuyun Village, as far as you know, how many troops does Xia Liu have in his hands now?" ”

"Did Your Majesty receive a message that there are 20,000 people?" Zhao Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Not bad! How do you know? Li Guanqi was a little puzzled.

Zhao Zheng smiled softly and said: "When I was on the mountain, I claimed that there were 10,000 people, and Xia Liu naturally wanted to say more in order to show that he was better than me, but he said too much, and others didn't believe it." So I guess he's talking about 20,000 people. ”

"How many are there?" Li Guanqi asked eagerly.

Zhao Zheng touched his chin and said: "Although it is not very clear how many there are now, when I left, there were only more than 3,000 people on the mountain, and in half a year, no matter how big his Xia Liu ability, it was impossible for him to let more than 5,000 people go." ”

"Five thousand people, he dares to hit the county seat? The combined strength of the three surrounding counties was not much less than him. Li Guanqi frowned again, a little unable to believe Zhao Zheng's judgment.

Zhao Zheng nodded and said: "Although there are not many people who are really available in Xia Liu's hands, please pay attention to Your Majesty, the local people are poisoned by the government, and there are cases of helping bandits to refuse officials to come out to help fight Taiping Boxing and robbing while the fire is hot." So the momentum is big. Moreover, even if only two or three thousand people go to defend the county, the officials of the surrounding two counties will not dare to come to the rescue, they will only wait for the city where the army is stationed to send troops, and they will definitely not wade into troubled waters.
