Chapter 824 into the urn

Ye Huaisleeve looked at Li Xian, who was standing on the high slope not far away and looking at the city of Zhaozhou, and then sped up his pace and walked over. This high slope is facing the city gate in the middle of the southern city of Zhaozhou, and after Wang He ascended the throne, he renamed this city gate Xiongtu Gate, from which you can see his ambition.

When she walked to Li Xian's side, Li Xian turned around and smiled at her.

"Dou Jiande has been operating in Hebei for many years, and the reconstruction of this city is also so strong. Even if you use gunpowder piles to blow up, the number of soldiers who will lose will inevitably be no more. You see, a bed crossbow is installed every twenty paces, and the arrow tower is so densely repaired that the horse's face is much more prominent than that of the ordinary city, and the archers on the city wall have no dead ends when they release their arrows, and it is difficult to get close without losing thousands of men and horses. Even if it is close, it will take the world for gunpowder to accumulate at the city gates, and the feather arrows will cover it and shoot down, and the soldiers will suffer more casualties, if the city gates are blocked...... It was also in vain to die so many people. ”

Ye Huai nodded and said a little apologetically: "I haven't thought of a way to contact Wu Bushan in the city, although there are many good hands in the Military Inspection Office, but the city wall of Zhaozhou is too high, and it can't go up at all without a lasso iron claw." But now that the defenders on the city wall are so dense, the iron claws will be discovered before they are thrown up. ”

Li Xian said: "There is nothing to worry about in terms of grain and grass, the grain transported by Master is enough for the army to consume for a month." The follow-up grain and grass have been shipped, and we have nothing to worry about when we occupy the waterway. So you don't have to be too anxious about this matter, there will always be a way. ”

"Speaking of waterways......

Ye Huaisleeve asked: "If those Tiele people who quietly entered the customs really take the waterway, if Wang Yan knows about it, I am afraid that he will jump to his feet and scold his mother." ”

Li Xian couldn't help laughing: "The grassland people are fighting on foot, and there is nothing to fear when they get off the horse, and if they get on the boat again, then they don't have to worry about anything." I have urgently ordered Chen Qi'er to divide the sailors into two roads, and go up the river respectively, if the Tiele people really plunder the boats down the river, no matter which one they take, they will be blocked by the sailors. ”

"I really don't know if it's a Han or a steppe person who gave Zamuhe an idea."

Ye Huaisleeve smiled and said: "There is such a military division by the enemy's side, which is more effective than a secret spy from the military audit department who is next to Zamuhe." If this person is a steppe man, it is not terrible, because he does not understand the situation in the Central Plains at all. If it is a Han person, judging from his strategy, this person has not returned to the Central Plains for many years, and he doesn't know it at all...... In addition to cavalry and heavy armored infantry, the most powerful of our Yanyun Army is also a naval division far beyond the scale of the Great Sui Dynasty. ”

Li Xian withdrew his gaze from the direction of Zhaozhou City and slowly walked down the high slope: "If you really can't think of a way to enter the city, I asked Xu Shiji to send troops to attack at night and concentrate my forces to attack the south gate." In this way, the defenders on the city wall may be gathered in the direction of the south gate, and the spies may be able to climb the city wall in a less crowded area. ”

"Wu Bushan is an old man who can do great things, maybe he has already figured out a way in the city."

Ye Huaisleeve said: "What I'm worried about now is whether Wang Bo's words will be done accurately." If what he says is that he is making it up and just trying to survive......"

"He didn't dare."

Li Xian smiled and said: "He knows that this kind of lie can't be hidden from people, and even if he can, he won't be able to hide it for long, if he lets me know that it's all made up by him, doesn't he know his fate?" ”

"Better ......"

Ye Huaisleeve said: "Let Wang Bo also enter the city of Zhouzhou." ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh heartily: "You threw Wang Bo into the cage, aren't you afraid of scaring him to death?" ”

"After he goes in, he will definitely die if he doesn't make meritorious service, since the spy is going to enter the city, then simply take him...... After entering the city, he will not be easily exposed even for himself, so the safety of the plates is guaranteed. ”

"Try it."

Li Xian said as he walked: "Let Xu Shiji transfer troops to attack for a while tonight, if it doesn't work, let the people from the second department of the Military Inspection Department transport the gunpowder the day after tomorrow, I don't believe that it will be blown up for a day and a night, even if the city gate is blocked, can't it blow up a city of Zhaozhou?" ”

Ye Huaisleeve snorted, and then asked, "What happened in Chang'an City, do you really have to continue to wait?" ”

"Wait a little longer."

Li Xian pondered for a while and said: "Sometimes I can't figure out one thing, why do some people think that rebellion is so simple? Even if the people in the Military Inspection Department didn't notice it, Du Ruhui didn't notice it, they suddenly made it difficult to occupy Chang'an City, did they feel that they occupied the whole world? The capital is occupied, and they think that the Tang Dynasty is all theirs? ”

Ye Huaisleeve said: "There are people who hurriedly rebelled in the last years of the Great Sui, and it boils down to one reason...... It's because they're greedy and afraid. ”

"Those four words are incisive."

Li Xian laughed and said: "Obviously I don't have the ability to achieve great things, but I am worried that the rebellion will be taken away by others later, but I don't see clearly whether I have the capital to win the world in my hands." Thought that by winning over some courtiers, he thought that he could gain the general trend by secretly colluding with the generals in the army? The reason why I say wait and so on is to see how many people are preparing for these two things. The reason why those people in Chang'an City feel that they are sure of success is actually because they colluded with a group of people in the army...... And they forgot that these generals were just in case. ”

"It's easy for me to destroy those people in the city, and once they are destroyed, the generals in the army will not be stupid enough to stand up and say anything, as if nothing had happened."

He sat down on a rock, pointed to his side and said, "I'll tell you a story." ”

Ye Huaisleeve sat down next to him, tilting his head sideways and waiting for Li Xian to continue.

"There was once an emperor who, like me, suffered a lot when he was a child, but he was even more bitter than me, and he was already dozens of years old before he gradually got better. Later, when the world was in turmoil, he also joined the rebel army, and with his mind and righteousness, he recruited a group of very capable people to assist him, and finally overthrew the court at that time and established an empire that belonged to him. After he ascended the throne, the most he did was kill people...... Not to kill the people, but to kill the officials. ”

Every few years, he would find someone to kill some of the founding heroes of the DPRK and China. In this way, it didn't take long for the old minister who followed him to fight the world almost died. This is not his most courageous thing, in his old age, the prime minister is quite powerful, there is a rebellion, he pretended to be confused, ignore it, let the prime minister to develop his own strength, until the prime minister is powerful and thinks that he can succeed, the emperor in one go to kill all the officials who colluded with the prime minister, only this one case...... Tens of thousands of officials were killed. ”

After hearing these words, Ye Huaisleeve's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Li Xian smiled and said: "My heart is not so ruthless, but since the country is already in my hands, how can I let others harm again?" Killing a few more people now will shed a lot less blood later if it can make them remember it for a long time. ”

grassland

Liu Hongji looked at the Tiele prisoners who were escorted to the direction of the camp not far away, and couldn't help frowning: "There are no 10,000 cavalry in the entire camp, and I interrogated a few prisoners just now, and they said that Zamuhe withdrew in batches at night a month ago with a large group of men, and they don't know where they went, so they only let the people who stayed behind not be able to move easily, and don't let us find that the camp is empty." ”

Ashina Duoduo pondered for a while and said: "Ashina sent someone back the news early this morning, he has already led the troops back, the hometown of the Tiele people was slaughtered back and forth by him several times, killing tens of thousands of people, and the cattle, sheep and horses were plundered back countless times, and the home of the Tiele people was destroyed. But if Zamuhe had secretly withdrawn his troops in batches a month ago, where would he have gone if he hadn't gone back to rescue his hometown? ”

"Oops!"

Luo Yi, who was sitting on the side resting, suddenly changed his face, stood up abruptly and said, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I will immediately take the people back to Zhuo County." I'm worried that Zamuhe is quietly going south with his men and horses to invade Zhuo County. ”

"It's not impossible!"

Liu Hongji's face also changed: "Old general, I'll go back with you." ”

He turned his head to Ashina Duoduo and said: "There is nothing to worry about in the war on the grassland, even if Zamuhe does not go south but finds a place to hide, whether we stay or not will not have much impact on the war situation, in winter, pretending to be Tiele people burned and killed on the grassland for a while, and now all tribes have sworn allegiance to you." Without soldiers, there was nothing to fear. ”

"Since you're worried about Zhuojun, I can't keep you."

Ashina Duoduo said: "You take the two 10,000 people of the Khitans with you, Ou Si Qingqing is by the side of King Yan, they are loyal to Qingqing and will not disrespect orders." ”

"It's fine."

Luo Yi nodded and did not refuse: "Let's set off now, if Zamuhe hides, you can send someone to deliver the news quickly." ”

By the afternoon, all the food and grass needed for the route had been prepared. Liu Hongji had less than 5,000 elite cavalry left with him, but Luo Yi's cavalry suffered little loss. Together with the 20,000 troops of the Khitans, about 50,000 cavalry left the Turkic camp and marched south.

Ashina Duoduo didn't turn around until Liu Hongji's back disappeared, returned to the big tent and sat down, pondered for a while, picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Li Xian.

After the letter was good, she handed it over to the people from the military inspection office around her and sent it out as quickly as possible.

After handing over the letter to the people in the Military Inspectorate, Ashina Duoduo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The Tiele people are gone, and nine times out of ten they are going south to invade the Central Plains. As for how Zamuhe could have made such a stupid decision, Ashina Duoduo did not understand, but she firmly believed that this wrong decision had benefited the Turks a lot. If Zamuhe really went south, how could he come back unscathed?

Now that the Central Plains is in power, it is Li Xian, and what his attitude towards foreign enemies is naturally clear. Even if the matter of the Central Plains is put aside, we must first kill all the foreign enemies who dare to invade. At that time, he had not yet gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, so he dared to run to Taiyuan with thousands of cavalry to deal with Ashina Jishi. Now that the soldiers are strong and strong, how can they allow Zamuhe to do evil in the Central Plains?

"I don't know if your heart was born that big, or if it's more important than everyone else's...... You regard the entire Central Plains as your home, and naturally you don't allow others to make trouble in your home. ”

"It's just...... Did you forget to promise me that you would come to the grassland? ”

At night, the Yanyun army attacked for an hour, but it was not a real attack. Although it attracted a lot of defenders from the city, the spies still couldn't find a chance to climb in. The defenses in other places were still tight, after all, there were not many Zhou troops in the city, and they were not stretched for defense.

Wu Bushan in the city didn't rush to do anything when he heard that the city was being attacked outside, but arranged for people to prepare to visit those useful court officials. Especially the people in the military, such as Xiahou, who is now very powerful, refuses to let it.

On the third day after Yan Yunjun's feint, the weather was exceptionally good. Fei Liu changed into a rich brocade robe, hired a carriage and drove slowly to Pei Ju's mansion. When he arrived at the gate, Fei Liu hesitated for a moment to ask for what identity and reason he had, but what he didn't expect was that he only said a word to the person who guarded the door, and was immediately invited in.

He couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart that this Pei Mansion's subordinates are easy to talk to.
