Chapter 663: Fang Xuanling's strategy

In June, the weather was already hot and made people a little irritable, especially when they had to wear a thick layer of leather armor, this kind of irritability would be infinitely expanded, but whether it was the Tang Army in the city or the Yan Yun Army outside the city, they had long been accustomed to this kind of life.

Li Xian returned to his big tent after inspecting the camp, although he had waited for a few days and there was still no news in the city, Li Xian did not seem to be in a hurry at all. There isn't much he has to do now, and concentrating on taking Chang'an City is the most important thing. Dou Jiande in Hebei has Yu Wenshi and leading soldiers to watch, Jianghuai has Zhang Liang leading the army to guard, as for Wang Shichong in the eastern capital, it is a steamed steamed bun, which can be swallowed at any time.

Lie down on a recliner, pick up a book and flip through it.

After a few glances, Xie Yingdeng shouted outside, and after coming in, he bowed and saluted: "According to the lord's orders, Du Ruhui and the others have already set off from Juyeze, counting the days when the news has been delayed back and forth, it is estimated that they will be able to reach the camp in about a month." ”

"Hmm"

Li Xian nodded and said, "After Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji arrive, Gu can also be more relaxed." Those trivial things are handed over to Lao Du...... Lonely forgot that there is still a capable person in the camp who is idle. After a while, Fang Xuanling was found, and he couldn't raise a few idlers in vain. Qu Tutong is an expert at leading troops, and Lone has already asked him to lead 5,000 men and horses to work under Shubao in the west of the city, and then watch him for a few days, if he really makes up his mind to follow Lone, and then give him a team of men and horses to lead. ”

"Just came down, is it a little inappropriate for the lord to let him lead the army?"

Xie Yingdeng cautiously reminded.

"It doesn't matter, what other choice does he have now? Fang Xuanling and he are not stupid, since they have entered the lonely camp, their back road is almost broken. Li Yuan's side they can only die, even if Li Shimin comes back, he still dares to use them? And now they can see the position of Lone very clearly, whether it is Li Yuan or Li Shimin, it is better to follow Lone. ”

"It should be better to embankment."

Xie Yingdeng said: "Fang Xuanling is easy to say, I talked to him a few times a few days ago, although this person is not very open-minded, but there is real talent in his chest and abdomen. Qu Tutong...... This person has been leading the troops all the year round, and his heart is hard and ruthless, if the lord wants to use this person, he should think twice. ”

"Hmm!"

Li Xian nodded and smiled: "Don't talk about this, if there is still a signal from the secret spies in the city the morning after tomorrow, then we can't wait any longer." Now that it is the end of June, the weather will be cooler after September, and Lone still thinks that the Eastern Capital will be solved before the year, and if there is enough time, it should be time for Dou Jiande to settle accounts. Of course, these things cannot be solved together before the year, but we still have to hurry up and do something, and when the things on the ground in Hebei are all settled, Jingxiang and Sichuan and Shu will also use soldiers. ”

"Dou Jiande is something that must be solved later, as long as he is destroyed, the territory of my Yanyun Village will be connected. And as long as Hebei is pacified, it will also open up the passage to Yuyang Zhuo County and other places. Goguryeo has been a bit rampant lately, and Goguryeo doesn't seem to be peaceful after the death of Eulji Moondeok, and it's hard to say who is the king now...... But their ambitions are the same, Yang Guang failed to kill them at the beginning, but it also hurt the vitality of the Goguryeo people, and only after a few years of recovery did they dare to fight the idea of Hexi Prefectures, if they continue to make trouble, who knows what disgusting things will be done. ”

"How is Wang Fubao over there?"

Li Xian suddenly changed the topic, he is a person with a very wild and jumpy thinking, if the person who talks to him is not familiar with his character, I am afraid that he will be very uncomfortable.

"Wang Qinian is back, and Wu Bushan has also been exposed in Hebei, who is staring at this matter now?"

"Leng Yi."

Xie Yingdeng said: "A secret report comes every half a month, but recently Dou Jiande has had to reactivate Wang Fubao when he mobilizes his troops, and Leng Yi's news is not as timely as before, after all, it is much more convenient to transmit news in the army." ”

"Wang Fubao is not dead set on Dou Jiande, either because Dou Jiande is kind to him, or because Dou Hongxian is not good to persuade him directly, and now he has not found an opportunity to force him back."

"If you can't find it, create it yourself!"

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Leng Yi is good at assassination and ambushes, and it is really not suitable for him to think of some way to rebel against Wang Fubao." You think about it, if you really can't do it, choose the right person from the spy to help him. ”

Li Xian walked to the side of the map and looked at it, pointed to a certain place and said: "Wang Fubao led the army to confront General Daxi here, although this person is also from a reckless background, he is well versed in the art of using soldiers, and should not be underestimated. Dou Jiande went south, you can't spoil the affairs of Chang'an because of him, you send someone to Jiangdu as fast as possible, transfer Zhang Liang to the north to respond to Yu Wenshi, retreat Dou Jiande's soldiers, and take advantage of the situation to solve Li Daozong's hundreds of thousands of Tang troops. ”

"The minister will do it with someone."

Xie Yingdeng thought for a while and asked: "If you can't rebel against Wang Fubao......

Li Xian's gaze left the map, thought for a while and said, "Then let Dou Jiande not use him." Now there are few people around Dou Jiande who really know how to lead the troops, if Wang Fubao can take charge of the army again...... Not good. ”

"Got it!"

Xie Yingdeng nodded, knowing in his heart.

……

……

After Xie Yingdeng left, he found Fang Xuanling, who was supposed to be the upstart of the Tang Dynasty, but after suffering setbacks one after another, his temperament was a lot more restrained, and he looked more stable. To tell the truth, even he himself felt that his life experiences were really wonderful, and he followed Li Shimin to rebel at the beginning, and if Li Shimin completely followed his plan, he might not be able to achieve great things.

But Li Shimin is too conceited, and he doesn't trust anyone at all in his bones. At the beginning, he proposed to wait until the matter of the Eastern Capital was resolved before trying to seize the heir, but Li Shimin did not want to wait at all. According to Fang Xuanling's assumption, after the destruction of the eastern capital, a number of officials under Wang Shichong will inevitably be captured, as well as the palace maids and concubines in the Dazheng Palace, these people will be escorted to Chang'an, and Li Yuan will inevitably let Li Shimin sacrifice prisoners in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin didn't listen to it at all, so he had to retreat and ask for the next best, offering a plan to kill Li Yuanji and then send him back to Chang'an, but he didn't bring soldiers and horses, only hundreds of loyal soldiers. After entering Chang'an City, the prince was bound to come to pick him up, so he suddenly attacked and killed the prince at the city gate, detained the generals of the Yamen of the Military Garrison Palace, and then entered the Taiji Palace to force the emperor to abdicate.

But Li Shimin still didn't listen, and only said that how could it be a matter if he didn't bring his soldiers and horses back. He gave advice, but Li Shimin often only listened to half of it. This made Fang Xuanling quite dissatisfied, so much so that after the defeat of the army, he and Qu Tutong escaped from the bloody road, and they did not go to find Li Shimin in the first place.

After the defeat, he once thought that his career in his life had come to an end. With his current reputation, no matter whether he goes to Xiao Mian or Dou Jiande, he will not be reused, King Qin fled into the mountains, and he had no choice but to persuade Qu Tutong to find a way to find Li Shimin again.

Qu Tutong's reputation is much greater than him, and with Qu Tutong's ability to lead the troops, no matter where he throws, his future is much clearer than him, but how can Fang Xuanling be willing to let go of this last straw that can save his life? If Qu Tutong abandoned him, he really had no way out. finally persuaded Qu Tutong to find Li Shimin, but halfway through, the black-faced general Luo Shixin killed the men and horses in one go, and he and Qu Tutong were also prisoners.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Xian valued him quite a lot. This made Fang Xuanling see hope again, and after King Yan raised troops to besiege Chang'an, he felt that his hope of revenge was even greater.

The king of Yan who does not rebel is only the king of Yan after all, and the king of Yan who rebels......

Whenever he thought of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel agitated.

After entering Li Xian's big tent, Fang Xuanling respectfully saluted: "Minister Fang Xuanling, meet the lord." ”

The movement of Dou Jiande's Xia army was marked on the map, Li Xian didn't raise his head, pointed at random, and said: "Find a chair to sit on first, and then talk to you when the route of the Xia army on the map is smooth." There is tea in the pot and wine on the low table, so don't be restrained if you do it yourself. ”

"Thank you, lord."

Fang Xuanling did not sit down, but walked slowly to Li Xian's side, and carefully watched the young but absolutely convincing His Royal Highness King Yan draw on the map with charcoal, connecting several places with a ruler, and then calculated the distance and marked the strength of the Xia army.

Fang Xuanling was amazed in his heart, he had never seen this way, so he felt very novel. I wanted to ask King Yan for advice, but I was afraid that I would be rude.

"This is a kind of annotation method that I came up with, and it is more intuitive and clear when looking at the map."

Li Xian saw Fang Xuanling's curiosity but had to lie, because he couldn't say that drawing was the basic homework of staff officers in modern warfare.

"The lord is a great talent!"

Fang Xuanling was convinced: "The minister heard that the long-range stone-throwing vehicles used in the army have a range that has been increased by nearly thirty percent, as well as thunderbolts, as well as the angle ramming device on the warship are all conceived by the lord himself, and the minister is impressed." ”

"Manpower is endless, the most important thing is to dare to think, Lone just thinks more than others. And most of the things are just an idea, and the people below are handed over to implement it, and really speaking, the loneliness doesn't make much contribution. ”

"Infinite ...... manpower"

Fang Xuanling recalled these four words and thought thoughtfully.

"Lone came to you to ask you."

Li Xian sat down on the chair and said in a calm tone: "Dou Jiande led his troops south to attack and harass my Dongping, Qi, Lu Sandi, Yuwenshi and although there are more than 100,000 horses, we still have to beware of Li Daozong, and the troops are a little insufficient. Not only to stabilize the foundation, but also to retreat Dou Jiande's troops, but also to take advantage of the situation to solve the more than 100,000 elite Tang troops under Li Daozong, do you have a good plan? ”

He didn't say that he had transferred Jiangdu Zhang Liang to lead the army north, just to consider Fang Xuanling's ability. He was the one who came through, and he had already imprinted these four words in his mind.

"Rong Chen, think about it."

Fang Xuanling walked slowly to the map, looking at the lines marked by Li Xian, his brows gradually furrowed. Li Xian was not in a hurry, and waited for tea on the side. After about half an hour or so, Fang Xuanling stood up straight and exhaled a slightly turbid breath: "The minister thinks that it is difficult to achieve perfection just by relying on General Yuwen's 100,000 army. ”

"The lord can send someone to contact Luo Yi, this person is sitting in Zhuo County, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and he can be allowed to send troops to the south with a large profit, Dou Jiande will pour out all the troops of the whole country, and the counties of Hebei will inevitably be empty, no need for more, Luo Yi only needs to go down to three or five cities, and Dou Jiande will inevitably panic."

"Then use the sailors to attack the cities along the river in the north to create the illusion that the army is about to go north. Then send a powerful general, only bring more than 10,000 elites into the border of Hebei, fight one place and leave, do not entangle with the Xia army, if you can go all the way, Hebei will inevitably be in chaos. ”

"How much profit did you lure Luo Yi south?"

"High-ranking officials and lords, the materials of the cities conquered by the soldiers and horses in Youzhou are all owned by Luo Yi. Zhuojun is tired, and what Luo Yi is most afraid of is that he can't afford to raise his five thousand tigers! ”

"And ......"

"Li Daozong is leading a heavy army, and his mind must not be as peaceful as when he was in Chang'an. Everyone has something to love, if you vote for what you love...... It may not be impossible to make Li Daozong surrender. If you can't find what you love, then look for what he's afraid of! ”

"The lord can pretend to make a secret decree from Li Yuan, and transfer Li Daozong to return to Chang'an within 20 days, otherwise there will be no forgive......ness for killing."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Even if he flies, he can't fly back." ”
