Above the night sky, starry, under the night sky, it was extremely quiet, Li Xin's army was camped in the field, Li Xin was wearing a big coat, Chu Suiliang and Shen Qianqiu followed.

"Dengshan, are you complaining that I didn't leave Shandong early?" Li Xin suddenly turned to look at Chu Suiliang and said.

"The minister doesn't dare, but the minister thinks that His Majesty's move is not too eager." Chu Suiliang naturally didn't dare to say it, but he still persuaded him tactfully in his words, saying: "Your Majesty is in danger of the world, but he is in danger, and the minister thinks it is not worth it." ”

"Then you say, why did I do this?" Li Xin didn't answer him, but asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is preparing to recover Shandong next year, making it a little easier." Chu Suiliang didn't want to think about it and said, this is a matter recognized by the imperial court, Li Xin's army advances, as long as it is a little bad deeds, it will either die or suffer heavy losses, as for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, landlords and bullies, there are countless casualties, and the entire ruling order of the family in Shandong has almost been destroyed by Li Xin.

"Li Jiancheng and they are all smart people, although they all rely on the family, but they are all big families, but for those small families, they don't have this mind, I kill happily in front, they clean up very happily in the back, as long as I force me to the east, they will not pay attention to what we do." Li Xin showed a hint of disdain on his face.

In the past month, there has been a strange situation in the whole of Shandong, the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have maintained military pressure on Li Xin, but they have led the army unhurriedly to advance, and sometimes even give Li Xin time to destroy the local forces in Shandong. But as long as Li Xin showed signs of retreating, the army of the two brothers immediately pressed up. forced Li Xin to advance eastward, and after Li Xin entered the territory of Beihai County, Xu Shiji also led the army to press up.

The three-way army was huge, and the rhythm of trying to force Li Xin to death, the situation seemed to be settled, and it was to see when Li Xin would arrive at the sea. That was Li Xin's death.

"Dengshan, do you know what is in the east?" Li Xin said with a smile.

"The sea." Chu Suiliang said in a low voice.

"What about after the sea?" Li Xin said with a smile.

"This? It is rumored that there is a fairy mountain in the sea. Chu Suiliang shook his head and said.

"The sea is the land everywhere, and during the reign of Emperor Wu of the former dynasty, there were many overseas merchants who came from Quanzhou." Li Xin said with a smile: "The sea is a good place!" After Beihai County, I will show you what the sea is. But before that, we have to capture Beihai County, especially in the direction of Dengzhou. ”

"Dengzhou?" Chu Suiliang's eyes lit up after hearing this, obviously knowing what Li Xin was thinking, and a smile appeared on his face. But soon shook his head again, and when he was about to ask, he saw that Li Xin had left, and only his back appeared in front of him.

"Lord Chu, what did Your Majesty mean by that just now?" Shen Qianqiu said with some concern.

"General Shen, from now on, you not only have to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, but also have an important place. There is also something to be checked, and that is Dengzhou. That place will be a matter of life and death for the army. Chu Suiliang said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if we die in battle, but Your Majesty can't have any problems." ”

"Dengzhou?" Shen Qianqiu was stunned when he heard this, and soon came to his senses.

Dengju is close to the sea, and that place is the former naval division station, and the general of that year came to Hu'er and once led 200,000 troops to conquer Goguryeo, and it was from that place that year. It's just that after the death of Laihu'er, the sailor camp in Dengzhou basically became an empty camp, although Qi Gongshun and others have some talents, but it is just a joke to say that they can lead the sailor.

"Immediately investigate how many boats are available in the camp of the Dengzhou Naval Division. How many sailor generals use various methods to buy them for me, if you agree, forget it, if you don't agree, whether it is assassination or coercion, you must master the Dengzhou Navy Battalion to the death, if you succeed, then you are the hero of the Tang Dynasty. Chu Suiliang said with a solemn face.

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu said loudly.

He also knew that Li Xin was preparing to leave Shandong with the help of the ships of the Dengzhou Navy Division, but how many ships were there in the Dengzhou Naval Division's camp, and the 60,000 troops left Shandong, how many ships would be needed, and Hu'er was able to lead 200,000 sailors to attack Goguryeo, and there were thousands of naval warships, but how many were there in the Dengzhou Naval Division Battalion now? Shen Qianqiu didn't dare to guarantee it.

Li Xin didn't know the thoughts of Chu Suiliang and Shen Qianqiu, even if he knew, there was nothing, his army was about to enter Beihai County, Beihai County was in the easternmost part of Shandong, Qi Gongshun and Liu Lan were one good at military strategy and the other was good at politics, the two had a good relationship, Qi Gongshun was also a rare elder, very good to the people under his rule, and had a great reputation. Attacking Laizhou, whether to fight or not to fight, this is the most important thing.

And Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, who were closely behind Li Xin, finally joined forces, and the two armies were only more than 100 miles apart, and the two brothers were very happy.

"Yuanji, Beihai is ahead, and now Shandong is all in our hands, there is only one Beihai County, what are you going to do?" Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rode war horses, walked side by side in front, and said with a smile.

"What does the eldest brother say, he will do it." Li Yuanji said indifferently. This time he persecuted Li Xin, Li Jiancheng certainly gained a lot of benefits in terms of popularity, but his strength Li Yuanji has also increased a lot, and the soldiers and horses in his hands have reached 200,000, even Li Shimin is not comparable to himself.

"I want Qi Yancheng to return to Beihai." Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Qi Gongshun has a very good reputation in Beihai, and the people of Beihai appreciate this person very much, if we kill him without saying anything, I am afraid that the people of Beihai will not agree with us." ”

"Big brother can do whatever he wants." Li Yuanji said indifferently.

"Okay, then I'll give the order." Li Jiancheng was very happy, and nodded approvingly at Li Yuanji, although this Li Yuanji was a little unruly, but he was still very good to himself.

What the two brothers didn't know was that in their own camp, Qi Yancheng and Liu Lan were gathered in the camp, Li Xin's soldiers and horses were about to arrive at Beihai City, tens of thousands of troops were about to attack Beihai, how many people there were in Beihai, Qi Yancheng and Liu Lan both knew.

"Originally, I thought that when Li Xin entered the Beihai, the army would immediately press on it and make a move against Li Xin, so as to cooperate with the general, attack back and forth, and annihilate Li Xin under the Beihai, but now it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Qi don't think so." Liu Lan said with some worry.

How many people are there in Beihai, the two cities together are only 10,000 people, if Li Xin forcibly attacks, Qi Gongshun will definitely not be able to resist Li Xin's attack, Liu Lan is a little dissatisfied in her heart.

"Teacher, you said that Emperor Tang is not a fool, can't you see our idea? Didn't you trap him to death in Shandong? He is in danger of the world, at this time he should find a way to return to Chang'an, this from Shandong to the present, there are countless opportunities to escape back to Chang'an, but the disciple has never seen it, why is this? Qi Yancheng said with some hesitation.

"It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't have a chance." Liu Lan hesitated for a while before saying, "Although there are many opportunities along the way, yes, once Li Xin's actions change, the crown prince and the king of Qi will send troops to drive Li Xin to the original route." That Xu Shiji is not a good thing, but he keeps an eye on Li Xin. It is impossible for Li Xin to leave. ”

"Teacher, I still thought Li Xin was not that simple." Qi Yancheng shook his head and said: "The disciple has seen his marching route, and sometimes it seems to be a breakthrough, and then he was beaten back by King Qi and Xu Shiji, but in fact, the two sides did not fight at all, and Li Xin took the lead in retreating. In my opinion, Li Xin deliberately came towards Beihai County. ”

Liu Lan was also stunned after hearing this, he thought about it carefully, and finally nodded, thinking about it carefully, Li Xin really didn't take the initiative to fight with Li Yuanji, every time the two sides were hundreds of miles apart, Li Xin took the initiative to retreat, and it seemed that he was forced to leave, but now that he thinks about it, Li Xin is not afraid of Li Yuanji at all, and even sometimes, he can forcibly defeat the enemy in front of him, rush away and intercept, and escape without a trace.

"Although we have a lot of people, but don't forget, the Tang Emperor has cavalry in his hands, and if he wants to intercept 60,000 cavalry, King Qi's soldiers and horses are not enough at all, Li Xin is the Son of Heaven, how can he not know his own importance, compared to the entire empire, 60,000 cavalry can be discarded at any time. But Tang Huang didn't, teacher, there must be something strange in this. Qi Yancheng said seriously: "The Tang Emperor will not be so simple. ”

"It's a pity that whether it is the crown prince, the king of Qi, or Xu Shiji, they are all confused by the situation in front of them." Liu Lan also found out at this time that she was underestimating Li Xin. They thought that Li Xin was now unable to fly, so they didn't really want to seriously think about everything that happened before.

"Now there is Beihai County in front, and I think everything will soon be revealed." Qi Yancheng showed admiration in his eyes, and said: "Teacher, in fact, I admire Emperor Tang very much, he is young, he is not from a family, he started from scratch, and he has captured most of the country, such a character is a hero." ”

"Yes! Soon understood what Li Xin wanted to do. Liu Lan did not answer the naivety of his disciples, if he wants to seize the world, it is not easy to say, what kind of character is Li Xin, he can rise so quickly, it is just one example, the times have created heroes, Li Xin is one of the examples.

"It's a pity, he's our enemy now." Qi Yancheng said with a slight sigh. In fact, he really wanted to submit to Li Xin, but unfortunately the two sides were now hostile. (To be continued......)
