In the summer, Chang'an City suddenly became dull, the reason is very simple, that is, the strength of the Southern Expedition army, the general Qin Qiong was trapped in Kuizhou, Pei Yuanqing was in his hands, Li Jing's soldiers and horses lacked food and grass, and fell into the land of Shuzhong, after the news came, Chang'an was in an uproar, and rumors spread everywhere, although Li Xin ordered people to arrest rumors everywhere in Chang'an City, but this kind of rumors were repeatedly banned. It is precisely because of Li Xin's actions that the rumors will spread faster and more rapidly.

The military camp in Lantian and Bashang also started quickly, and there was news in the DPRK that Prime Minister Li Xin was ready to personally conquer Bashu, and there will be 80,000 people who will follow the army this time, except for Duan Qi sitting in Chang'an, Pei Renji guarding Tongguan, the rest of the generals will go to Bashu, Chang'an City has stabilized, in their opinion, as long as Li Xin goes out, the possibility of success is very high.

Li Mi's mansion, Li Mi leaned on the bed, and there were two maids next to him to fan him, he was in a bad mood during this time, and when anyone had no power in his hands, he was not in a good mood. In front of him is Wang Bodang, who has been recruited by Li Xin and is about to march south.

"So, Li Jing really lost in Bashu?" Li Mi's face suddenly showed excitement, although Li Xin only took away 80,000 people, but once these 80,000 people are powerful, Guanzhong's strength will be much less, which is just right for him to make waves.

"Yes, the prime minister has ordered the last general to follow the camp, and the army will set off in three days." Wang Bodang hurriedly said.

"Li Jing is also a generation of famous generals, why is he trapped in Bashu and does not move, this can't be a ploy!" Li Mi said with a sudden frown. He was afraid that Li Xin would make some tricks behind his back.

"We don't know the specific situation, we only know that Wang Junkuo was defeated in Kuizhou. If Qin Qiong rescues him, I am afraid that he will be killed by Xiao Miao, and the army will be trapped in Kuizhou. made Qin Qiong's plan to rescue Li Jing run aground. Wang Bodang hurriedly said: "As for Li Jing, he doesn't know, because he is far away in Bashu, so he doesn't know, the news came very slowly, and it was very difficult, and the prime minister didn't say anything?" It's just that he has already issued an order to order the three armies to strengthen the discipline of the army, and demote Guo Xiaoke to the third level. As for the specific situation, I don't know. ”

"The prime minister is really cautious! If that's the case. That can show that the problem of Bashu is very big, and the big one is that Li Jing can't solve it himself. So Li Xin personally stepped out. Li Mi said in a low voice.

"Captain. Should I go then? Wang Bodang asked.

"Go, see if the prime minister can really go to conquer Bashu." Li Mi didn't think about it and said: "I always feel that there is a problem here, Li Jing's talent will not be so simple." ”

"Yes, the Admiral will definitely investigate this matter carefully." Wang Bodang was silent for a while before speaking.

The news of Chang'an soon spread to the ancient city. It's just a river away. What's more, Li Shimin, who focused on the movements of Chang'an, got the news this time.

"What do you think? This king feels that there is something wrong with this kind of thing. Li Shimin put down the information in his hand and said: "What kind of person is Li Jing, such a problem actually appeared in Bashu, forcing Li Xin to personally lead the army. Auxiliary, Xuanling, what do you think? Will Li Jing really fail? Is this a bait released by Li Xin, waiting for us to be fooled? ”

"What does King Qin mean is that our actions on our side are known to Li Xin?" Fang Xuanling said a little nervously: "It's unlikely! ”

"The possibility is relatively small, not to mention our actions, even this king did not expect it. What's more, it's Li Xin, we have now set up a big camp in the ancient city. But in Huguan, Li Shentong also had a large group of people entering it, and 10,000 people entered Huguan day and night and daytime, even Dou Jiande also strengthened his defense in the direction of Huguan, Liu Heimin personally led the army to garrison, although Li Xin's intelligence was powerful, I am afraid he could only focus on Huguan. It is undeniable that according to normal eyes, we should attack Hebei, right? And Wang Shichong is strong and strong, and it is not a simple matter to capture Luoyang, so Li Xin will not know where our goal is, but this king does not believe that Li Xin is really for Li Jing, although Li Jing has not seen this person, but he can be trusted by Li Xin, and he is in charge of the southern expedition, and he has considered the selection of generals and soldiers, and it is difficult to make mistakes. Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"What does King Qin mean?" Eldest Sun Wuji frowned and said, faintly uncomfortable in his heart, you must know that he has great trust in Perak Hall, and he doesn't think that Perak Hall will make mistakes in this matter.

"He wants to capture Nanyang." Li Shimin found a place on the ground, and finally nodded and said: "Only by capturing Nanyang is in line with his marching strategy, you see, this place in Nanyang used to be Li Mi's territory, but there is also a part of Wang Shichong's territory, very close to Xiao Mi's Xiangyang, Li Jing is now sending troops to Bashu, I don't think there is any suspense about capturing Bashu, even if there is a problem, it is also a matter of time, Li Xin's next step is to attack us in the north, or to attack Li Mi in the east, and finally to develop to the south, Attacking to the north we will fall into a protracted battle, Li Xin is not sure, as for attacking Wang Shichong, Luoyang City is high and deep, no one answers, it will take at least two years, we will not give him a chance, in the end he can only attack Nanyang, attack Xiao Milling. It is only to confuse the other party, or to confuse Wang Shichong, that such a big net will be laid. Auxiliary, you can let go to the direction of Nanyang, Li Xin's soldiers and horses will definitely appear near Wuguan, looking for an opportunity to capture Wuguan. ”

"If he attacks Nanyang, Wang Shichong will definitely be unwilling, and he will also help us drag some soldiers and horses." Liu Wenjing said happily.

"Not bad. Li Xin is really ruthless enough, taking advantage of Li Mi's recent defeat, not only accepted Li Mi, which made his reputation shocked, but now he is thinking of seizing Nanyang and opening up the road between Chang'an and Jiangnan, tsk, so that Chang'an's grain and grass do not have to be restricted by Luoyang. Fang Xuanling nodded, he said with some sigh: "That's it, it shows that Li Xin's is not simple, we will look at Luoyang, and after we are ready to occupy Luoyang, we will block the pass fortress and prohibit a single grass and tree from entering the pass, Li Xin may also see this, so he will forcibly seize Nanyang." ”

"Grain and grass starting from Nanyang may not be a shortcut than Luoyang." Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Especially the current Xiao Mill, they control Jiangnan, and there are very few people who can compete with him, if Li Xin attacks Xiao Mill, we will send troops to Guanzhong, although he gets Nanyang's grain and grass problem, it may not be much alleviated." It's just that we not only want to capture Luoyang, but more importantly, we have to hold Luoyang, it is easy to capture Luoyang, but it is not easy to hold Luoyang. Of course, the most nervous and angry person now is not us, but Wang Shichong, a clown like a jumping beam, who also wants to be the emperor, here has just formed an alliance with others, and sent the emperor and Liu Liangdi to Li Xin, here Li Xin gathered a large army to seize Nanyang, Wang Shichong is afraid to jump. ”

In fact, what Li Shimin didn't know was that Wang Shichong did not jump up angrily, on the contrary, he held a letter in his hand, a letter written by Li Xin himself, making it clear that he would send troops to Nanyang, occupy Wuguan, and protect his Guanzhong. Wang Shichong looked at the letter in his hand is uncertain, on the one hand, he feels anger, but on the other hand, he feels fear, Li Xin is looking for himself to Nanyang, but he knows that Li Xin's real target is not himself, but Li Shimin, who is about to attack Luoyang.

"Father, Li Xin is ready to exchange 100,000 stone grain for Wuguan." Wang Xuanshu said in a low voice: "Father, to change or not to change?" Wuguan is the gateway to Guanzhong, if this is the case, we will change to him, then we will lose the initiative in Guanzhong. ”

"Change." Wang Shichong said without thinking about it: "And cooperate with him, hehe, 100,000 stone grain, Li Xin is really generous, just want me to join forces with him to act in a play, in the end, it is the foundation left by Emperor Wu, and 100,000 stone grain will be sent." ”

"Father, you mean to say?" Wang Xuanshu was speechless for a moment.

"Otherwise, what do you think? Li Xin has already personally sent troops, in order to seize the Wuguan, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to capture the Wuguan of thousands of people, isn't it easy? Wang Shichong said indifferently. There are some things in Li Xin's letters, he decided not to tell his son, Li Xin needs to drag Li Shimin by himself, and he Wang Shichong also needs Li Xin to cooperate with him, defeat Li Shimin, and keep his foundation, who is using whom, this is really uncertain.

"Father, if he captures Nanyang, the next target will be Luoyang." Wang Xuanshu was still a little worried and said: "Nanyang is an important military town, all the grain and grass of my Dazheng come from Nanyang, if it is captured by Li Xin, the grain and grass of our army will fall into the hands of the enemy, how can 100,000 stone grain and grass be exchanged for a Nanyang." ”

"Alright, don't talk about it. All you have to do now is train your men and horses to guard against the enemy's invasion. Wang Shichong said dissatisfiedly: "Even if Li Xin captures Nanyang now, what then? Do you think our soldiers and horses can withstand Li Xin's attack? He now has a fierce general in his hands, a strategist like rain, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he can send a random person, and it is extremely difficult for us to fight against him. The enemy in his eyes is not us, it is Li Zhao, and if Li Zhao is not eliminated, Li Xin will not attack us. ”

Don't look at Wang Shichong's anger at Wang Xuanshu now, he is actually strengthening his beliefs, fortunately Li Zhao is Li Xin's most powerful enemy, otherwise, Wang Shichong is now desperately trying to capture Nanyang. It's a pity that Li Zhao is about to attack his own Luoyang, he has sent someone to secretly investigate the ancient city, and sure enough, he found that there is something strange in the ancient city, and he is not allowed to enter or leave, and there are enemies lurking in Heyang City, but unfortunately, no matter how he searched, he also found lurking in Heyang City, which made him feel a little uneasy. He sensed that something might be wrong with him. (To be continued......)
