Xiangyang Palace.

Li Rupei has been silent for a long time, Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang sat on the side, and they also did not speak, the two have become Li Rupei's most relied on Wenchen, and their every move has a great impact.

Yan Fu sent the urgent information from the capital, the three of them have read it, but Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang have some different opinions, Cui Anqian believes that the current focus is to exterminate the Yellow Nest, and take the opportunity to occupy a lot of territory in Jiangnan East Province and Jiangnan West Road, if it can completely eliminate the Yellow Nest in a year or so, the Iron Blood Army will be able to control the entire south, and at that time, the powerful Li Rupei will naturally be able to make all decisions.

Liu Yunzhang's opinion is different, he thinks that the prince has been strategizing in the capital for so long, and he can't give up the capital, and if Zheng Zheng is plotted by Tian Lingzi and others, the impact on the prince is very bad, and if this situation continues, the prince will completely lose his influence in the capital.

Liu Yunzhang's words were not very clear, but the meaning was clear, that is, the prince must lay a good foundation in the capital, so that he can plan for the future, and it is very difficult to conquer the capital by force, and it is difficult to appease the people.

It should be said that the suggestions of the two are good, and the biggest difference between them is the problem of the mercy of power.

The 100,000 troops of the Iron and Blood Army, 50,000 troops are stationed in Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, and 50,000 troops are stationed in Huainan Road.

The officers and men of the Iron and Blood Army stationed in Huainan Province have obviously a much heavier task, they need to maintain order in Fuzhou County on the one hand, and they also need to compress the living space of the 100,000 army in Yangzhou.

It should be said that the Iron Blood Army actually can't muster extra troops to exterminate the Yellow Nest, but after careful consideration. Li Rupei thought that it was still possible to dispatch 20,000 iron-blooded troops to exterminate the Yellow Nest.

In fact, it was to send 20,000 soldiers from Shannan Road to exterminate the Yellow Nest.

Cui Anqian, Liu Yunzhang, Gao Chibang and others are worried about whether the number of soldiers of the Iron Blood Army is too small, and there are many soldiers under Huang Chao's command, but Li Rupei thinks that 20,000 soldiers are enough, Huang Chao is afraid of the Iron Blood Army, and he is not willing to fight with the Iron Blood Army at all, and Huang Chao's mobility is very strong, if he can't win, he will run, if he is a large army. The team is too large, but it is not conducive to the destruction of the Yellow Nest, only by forming the most capable army, can we chase the Yellow Nest and fight, so that the Yellow Nest will not be able to escape in the end.

The battle plan Gao Chibang has already come out, and he is raising and preparing food and salary during this time, after all, this expedition may take a long time and require a lot of consumption. Li Rupei made up his mind that he must completely exterminate Huang Chao, no longer leave Huang Chao any chance, and will not accept Huang Chao's surrender.

Soldiers of the Iron Army stationed in Huainan Province. The main task is to stabilize the 100,000 army in Yangzhou, once Huangchao is completely wiped out, the next step is to deal with the 100,000 army stationed in Yangzhou, and the 100,000 army will be scattered or exterminated. The imperial court basically had no decent troops in the south, and Li Rupei was basically able to control the entire south.

When everything was in plan, there was a situation in the capital.

This situation annoyed Li Rupei. When he first received the information, Li Rupei, who rarely lost his temper, was furious for the first time and said some cruel words, which made Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang very surprised, in their hearts, the young Li Rupei is always wise and unhurried, they don't know why Li Rupei is so angry.

"This is the first time that I have lost such a big temper, which frightened my father-in-law and Liu Gong, is this so-and-so."

"Don't say that, the prince's arrangements are not in place, the subordinates still think that the capital is crucial, Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang will unite, this is what the subordinates did not expect, it seems that they all think that the growth of the prince's power has formed a threat to them......"

After Liu Yunzhang finished speaking, Cui Anqian was still thinking about it, and he didn't speak immediately, and Li Rupei sighed.

"It's not just Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang who are worried, what they rely on is just the Shence Army, today's Shence Army is not the same as in the past, there is not much of a threat, if you want to deal with them, it is easier than exterminating Huangchao, and what you are worried about is the feudal towns in the north, these feudal towns are lawless, they don't put the imperial court in their eyes at all, they do their own thing, once there is a turbulent situation in the capital, they will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob, so the surface peace of the Tang Dynasty cannot be maintained."

Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang were shocked, they didn't expect that Li Rupei thought far more than them.

Cui Anqian, who had been thinking about it for a while, spoke.

"Lord Wang, the strength of the Iron Blood Army is not enough to deal with so many things."

"I know, Bi Shiduo in Yangzhou, Huang Chao in Jiangnan, Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang in Beijing, Chen Jingxuan in Xichuan, and the feudal towns in the north, none of them are stable, all of them are thinking about their own interests, but they didn't think of the world of Datang, Datang is really eventful, a certain originally thought that he could plan slowly, but now it seems that time is not waiting, and he can't delay, stabilizing the situation in the south must be completed within a year, that is to say, the eradication of Huangchao and Bi Shiduo must be completed within a year, If the situation in the north is chaotic, it will be difficult to clean up. ”

Li Rupei's words surprised Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang, and they also felt incomprehensible, although the feudal towns in the north went their own way and did not obey the orders of the imperial court, they did not dare to openly rebel, it should be said that the situation could still be maintained, and the iron-blooded army could completely focus on the south, as for Chen Jingxuan in Xichuan, he would never dare to lead troops to invade Shannan West Road, which was an act of seeking death.

Of course, they won't know, because Li Rupei learned from Yan Fu's intelligence that Li Guochang and Li Keyong began to grow stronger with the strength of father and son, especially this Shatuo Army led by Li Keyong, known as the Ya'er Army, was extremely brave in battle.

Li Keyong and Zhu Wen are equally brave, once famous in history, if it weren't for Li Rupei's crossing, these two people have already begun to call for wind and rain, Zhu Wen has been received by Li Rupei, expressing his surrender, but that Li Keyong is beginning to grow in strength in the north, once the strength reaches a certain level, it will begin to threaten the capital.

Cui Anqian couldn't understand Li Rupei's worries, and after Li Rupei finished speaking, he spoke.

"Lord Wang, if you want to be fast, it will not be able to reach it, it will be too difficult to pacify the south within a year, not to mention the extermination of Huangchao, it is Bi Shiduo of Yangzhou, the strength is still strong, if the iron-blooded army attacks from both sides, it is difficult to take care of both the beginning and the end, in addition, Chen Jingxuan of Xichuan also needs to pay attention, as for the feudal towns in the north, including Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang and others, I think that there is no need to pay special attention, after all, they are far away, and they cannot threaten the iron-blooded army for the time being, in addition, there are many things to pay attention to when pacifying the south, Just exterminating Huang Chao and Bi Shiduo does not mean that the south has been completely pacified. ”

This time, Liu Yunzhang agreed with Cui Anqian's opinion and nodded yes.

Li Rupei shook his head, the worry in his heart, Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang could not know.

"A so-called one-year time to pacify the south, it is a bit big, in fact, it is to exterminate Huang Chao and Bi Shiduo, as for the south to completely stabilize, it will take a long time, that is not a short time to do, once the Huang Chao and Bi Shiduo are eliminated, a certain believes that the south must make major changes, the southern Jiedu can not have an army, the army must be controlled by the imperial court, the responsibility of the Jiedu envoy is to maintain local stability, focusing on people's livelihood matters."

This time, Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang were even more surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, they immediately thought that Li Rupei's thoughts were very correct, the reason why the Tang Dynasty appeared today, the feudal towns fought for each other, is one of the fundamental reasons, think about the Anshi Rebellion back then, so that the rich Tang Dynasty collapsed, and then the imperial court was unable to suppress the feudal towns in various places, so that the power of the local jiedu envoys began to become huge, so that the tail could not be lost.

If Li Rupei can take out the military power of the Jiedu envoy on the basis of pacifying the south, then he can completely stabilize the local situation, in fact, it is not too difficult to do this, the key is that the iron-blooded army must have enough strength, and just obey Li Rupei's orders, then it can be done.

"I have thought about it, we must take a three-pronged approach, the iron-blooded soldiers stationed in Huainan Province will use a year to disintegrate or exterminate the 100,000-strong army in Yangzhou, and the 20,000 iron-blooded soldiers must also completely exterminate Huangchao within a year, and at the same time stabilize the situation in the south.

Once Li Rupei makes arrangements, the matter is basically decided, and then everyone needs to think about how to implement it, and there is no need to continue to discuss.

Li Rupei didn't stop, and looked at Liu Yunzhang and spoke.

"Liu Gong, in the capital, I want to trouble you to go in person, I wrote a letter to the emperor, and I also wrote a letter to Yang Fuguang, this time I am not so polite, if Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang want to move Zheng Jin, it will be an invasion of the Iron and Blood Army and a certain one, and a certain will put down everything, take the soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army, and make a special trip to the capital to ask clearly, if someone wants to provoke the relationship between the emperor and a certain behind his back, and thinks about calculating the Li Tang royal family, a certain will never be polite."

Liu Yunzhang stood up and saluted with his fists.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates will set off tomorrow and go to the capital, the prince has such a complete arrangement, his subordinates will definitely be able to live up to their mission, there are also Zheng Ge Lao and Yan Shilang in the capital, and if your subordinates find them, they will definitely be able to come up with the best way to deal with them."
