Li Yu's expression was heavy, and Tong Yu asked, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”

Li Su didn't hide it from him, so he told him that the barbarians might attack Yizhou, although the barbarian's meticulous work transmitted this information back, but Li Su couldn't be sure when they would attack, if they really wanted to attack Jieli from the north and south, then Li Su still had time to prepare.

Knowing the severity of the matter, Tong Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'll go back to Taoyuan to prepare for this matter." With that, he turned and left the council hall.

Looking at Tong Yu leaving, Li Su frowned and thought for a while, and then went directly to the camp of the Central Army, and contacted the radio of the Central Army camp and the Zhichong Prefecture in various states to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time transferred Xue Rengui, who had been in charge of guarding Hezhou, to also transfer back, the false information provided by Li Yu was naturally that the army of Yizhou basically participated in the expedition, and in fact, only the navy and a small number of marines in Yizhou left Yizhou, after all, the task of the expedition team is to open up trade routes and not to dominate the world, There is no need to go to so many people, the real Yizhou monarch is still in Yizhou, as long as Li Su gives an order, he can be dispatched at any time.

While preparing in Yizhou, Li Su did not forget Li Shimin in Chang'an, and he asked Su Moer to contact Wang Zheng of Chang'an Shengtang Business Daily by radio, and asked him to tell Li Shimin about this matter when he handed over the newspaper to Li Shimin for review, so that Li Shimin could also be prepared.

Wang Zheng, who was notified, understood the severity of the matter, and hurriedly took the manuscript of the newspaper and went to the Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, Wang Zheng of the Shengtang Newspaper asks to see you!" In the Ganlu Palace, the eunuch reported to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was worried about the affairs of the northern grassland at this time, Jieli appeared on the grassland once, and then disappeared without a trace like a ghost, while Xue Yantuo's invasion of the north continued to intensify, and some news also showed that this Xue Yantuo seemed to have made some agreements with Jieli. And this worries Li Shimin even more.

"Isn't it time to review the newspaper today?" Li Shimin asked a little strangely, in the past, Wang Zheng would only deliver the newspaper at dusk, but now, Wang Zheng actually sent the newspaper so early.

"He said that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has secret news for him to bring to His Majesty." The eunuch said respectfully.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Let him in!" ”

The eunuch answered, turned around and went out, and after a while, Wang Zheng walked in and said, "Wang Zheng see Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin put down the recital. Said: "What news did the King of Shu bring to you?" ”

"Back to Majesty! A few days ago, His Royal Highness caught a fine work in Yizhou, this fine work was a subordinate of the former crown princess Chang's family, and from his mouth, His Royal Highness forced Jieli and Mo to plot to attack the Tang Dynasty in the north and south, this is the information told by His Royal Highness, please take a look. Wang Zheng handed over a piece of paper that recorded the content of Li Su's dictation to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's color changed when he heard this, he took the paper and looked at it carefully, his face suddenly turned purple, and he said angrily: "What a vicious plan." Hum! ”

Wang Zheng continued: "Your Majesty, Your Highness said that let Your Majesty prepare in advance, and he will block His Majesty from grinding some barbarisms in the south, and His Majesty only needs to concentrate on dealing with Jieli." ”

"Hmm. If you go back and tell the king of Shu, let him act cheaply, and be sure to block the grinding barbarians, and I will mobilize the army to march north. Li Shimin said with a deep groan.

Wang Zheng nodded when he heard this. Said yes.

After Wang Zheng left, Li Shimin called the eunuch and said, "Immediately convene the ministers to discuss countermeasures." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch turned and walked out......

Yizhou. After several days of preparations, Li Su mobilized the Central Army and began to march towards Shanzhou, this time in addition to the garrison troops stationed in Yizhou, the 30,000 horses of the Central Army are pouring out, this batch of Central Army is now equipped with third-generation rifles, and the artillery is also using a new type of field artillery, such a large-scale army movement, immediately made the people of Yizhou highly nervous, in order to confuse the enemy, Li Su published information on military exercises in the newspaper, telling the people that this is just a normal drill of the army, and the people have settled down.

"Your Highness, why don't you requisition the armies of the various states of Zhichong Prefecture?" Xue Rengui has rushed back from Hezhou, in the past two years, he has been fighting in the direction of Hezhou and Xiyuanman, although he has not experienced a large battle, but he has experienced a lot of small battles, and has accumulated a lot of actual combat experience.

"In order not to startle the snake, the state's Zhichong Mansion moves, it means that Yizhou is really facing a huge danger, and besides, the grinding barbarians don't know that they will attack that direction, if the local army is transferred, causing the state and county troops to be empty, it will not be good if the grinding barbarians take the opportunity to enter." Li Su analyzed that the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty all had cities, and if there were troops with firearms stationed to block them for a period of time, if all the troops were evacuated, it would be equivalent to giving the city to others.

Xue Rengui nodded, still a little worried, "It will be really troublesome if you grind some barbarians to really unify the barbarians, after all, the border line of His Highness's fiefdom is too long, if they use several ways to attack at the same time, it will make us tired to deal with, and three million barbarians, hundreds of thousands of Shu King troops can at least be drawn, and it is said that they also have powerful elephant soldiers." ”

"Yes, in terms of combat effectiveness, we are not afraid of them, but if they send a large number of troops, it will be enough for us, so this time we have to rely on artillery." Li Su looked at the new field artillery held by the horse and said, this time the Central Army dispatched 500 field guns, which is already their full firepower.

Xue Rengui glanced at the artillery, and suddenly felt some confidence in his heart, he said: "With these artillery, we can annihilate their soldiers in large numbers, the only hope is that they don't adopt the strategy of dividing the troops!" ”

Li Su also frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "I hope so, otherwise we will inevitably suffer some losses." ”

"But what if the barbarians don't attack us as planned?" Xue Rengui said.

"Then we will fight directly, Nanban is always a threat, and the road from Yizhou to Guò Bi has been blocked by them for so long, it should be dredged, Qin Huaiyu They are responsible for opening up the trade route on the sea, we take advantage of this to open up the road on the road and open up a trade route from Yizhou to Bi State." Li Su said in a deep voice, even if the Nanban attacks first, Li Su is ready to eliminate this force that has been threatening Yizhou, how can he let others snore next to the couch!

When Li Su and Li Shimin were nervously preparing for the unknown attack, Chang fled back to the grassland in despair, she didn't understand why the shadow guards of Yizhou were able to chase her to Lingzhou in the north, dozens of elite grassland warriors died in the hands of Su Moer's shadow guards overnight, facing the cross crossbow of the shadow guards, they were slaughtered like cattle and sheep, but fortunately, they escaped for a while and the shadow guards did not continue to follow.

"We've got the information we deserve, Xiao Yi, we will be able to get revenge soon!" Chang's face was distorted because of excitement, for more than ten years, the purpose of her life was to take revenge, and now she has seen hope, she has received information from Yizhou, at that time, the two carrier pigeons also flew towards the place where Jieli and the barbarian king were at the same time, and it was at this time that the shadow guard attacked them, and the Turkic soldiers who worked and protected them died in the hands of the shadow guard.

Luo Xiaoyi's face was still pale after being frightened, they had hope of revenge, but why was she not happy at all, she even began to wonder why she had sacrificed so much over the years, is revenge really so important. She asked herself in her heart? All she answered was endless confusion.

"Auntie, I don't want to go back to the grassland, we don't have any use for Jieli anymore." Luo Xiaoyi said, "This time it's either the fall of Datang or the fall of Jieli, no matter which one it is, we have no value to be used." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Xiaoyi's words touched the most fearful thread in Chang's heart, in fact, how could she not understand that the two weak women were just Jieli's pawns, but they had no choice in order to take revenge, "Xu Junshi favors you, he will protect us for you, and now Jieli is obedient to him."
