Inside the harem.

Room Deyun and Yang Ehuang sat opposite each other.

Hearing Emperor Yang E's evaluation of Zhou Zhou, she smiled and said, "Empress, how can you speak in such a way as Your Majesty." We women look at men, and men look at men differently, in my view of Zhou Zhou, this man, is upright, but he can be worthy of being entrusted for life. ”

Yang Ehuang smiled and said, "Sister, didn't you hear?" This week, Zhou Zhou already has a favorite person, what to say about life and death. What's more, this palace is angry when he sees His Majesty today. ”

Mu Deyun said: "Then do you think Pingping still wants to marry Zhou Zhou?" It is better to directly let His Majesty's holy decree fulfill this matter. ”

Emperor Yang E said: "Zhou Zhou can see that he is a person who would rather bend than bend, if he is forced to do so, it will backfire." Even if I marry him, I won't be happy. ”

Room Deyun hurriedly said: "Queen, Pingping, this child has a lonely background, is it just for her to be like this?" I've long regarded Pingping as my daughter. You have to help her. ”

Emperor Yang E said with a smile: "It's not impossible, this palace thinks that Zhou Zhou is not unintentional about Pingping, otherwise he wouldn't have talked in detail on the ship that day." Since this is the case, let Ping Ping take a step forward first, show favor to Zhou Zhou, and after a long time, it will become a good thing for the two of them. ”

Mu Deyun was overjoyed and said: "I think this is a solution, let's do it." ”

Yang Ehuang smiled and said: "What are you anxious about, the two of them have to arrange one of the opportunities." ”

In the harem, Emperor Yang E and Mu Deyun are discussing.

And above the main hall, a meeting that will decide the trend of the world is about to begin. There were not many people in this meeting, and the only people who really participated were Ji Chuan, Zhang Xuansu, Lin Dangfeng, plus Li Chongjiu.

Ji Chuan, Zhang Xuansu, and Lin Dangfeng all arrived together. The three of them saw Li Chongjiu looking at the map with his hands behind his back.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Li Chongjiu didn't reply and said: "No courtesy, at the moment, the Wind and News Division has confirmed that the Tang Army will decide to bloom in the spring of February." It has been less than a month since the five roads went out to fight a decisive battle with our army. ”

Ji Chuan said: "Your Majesty, now that you know about it, how should our army be deployed?" ”

"Our army has already been deployed, but it is difficult to know which way the Tang Army is the main offensive force at the moment." Zhang Xuansu said on the side, "You can see from the intelligence, the Tang Army, the Hedong Army, the Hanoi Army, the Guanzhong Army, and the Bashu Army. The Jianghuai Army, five ways together, we must attack it clearly and realistically, and concentrate our forces to fight him all the way. ”

"In my estimation, among the people of Li Tang's five roads, it must be the Guanzhong Army and the Bashu Army as the main force, and they will come straight to Luoyang." Ji Chuan analyzed.

Zhang Xuansu asked rhetorically: "Ji Shilang." It is certain that there is no definite information on the intelligence of our army, and the Tang army will attack Luoyang with all its might. ”

Ji Chuan said: "What is so unpredictable about this, the minister thinks that there are three reasons, Li Yuan will attack Luoyang." ”

"Ji Aiqing, please speak."

"First, Luoyang is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh for Li Tang. With Luoyang in the hands of our army, the Cao Yun from Jianghuai to Guanzhong will not be able to pass, and the Tang army will only be blocked in Tongguan, and there will never be a day of eastward advance. Second, the main force of the Tang Army is currently two, one is the Guanzhong Fu Army, and the other is the Bashu Army led by Li Xiaogong. Li Xiaogong had just completed the battle of attacking Liang and was unable to advance eastward for the time being. Therefore, the only way to go north from Xiangyang is to join the Guanzhong army in Luoyang, and to open up the connection with Guanzhong through Guò Luoyang. The third is that Luoyang is in Chang'an, but in Youjing, Li Yuan cannot lead the main force to cross Pujin. Thousands of miles from Hedong to attack Taiyuan, or detour to Jianghuai and attack Shandong, this violated the taboo of the soldiers' labor expeditions, so Li Yuan's only way out was to send troops to Luoyang. ”

Ji Chuan's analysis made Li Chongjiu and Lin Dangfeng both nod their heads together, and indeed for Li Yuan, there is no better choice now except to attack Luoyang. Judging from the various arrangements of the Tang Army, there is a great chance of sending troops to Luoyang.

Lin Dangfeng said: "According to what Ji Shilang said, Li Yuan should be arranged like this, at present, our army in Luoyang is only 20,000 troops, and the Tang army can gather 200,000 troops here, and the Tang army will attack more and less with ten times the strength, which is very unfavorable." Should troops be sent to reinforce Luoyang immediately? ”

Zhang Xuansu played: "Your Majesty, I don't think I can immediately reinforce Luoyang. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "When Li Tang attacked Zheng, Wang Shichong gathered his troops in Luoyang instead of guarding the surrounding cities, which is a lesson from the past. If we still don't defend the periphery, and wait for the Tang army to divide and attack, the general attack on Luoyang will be difficult to hold. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "What is Zhang Aiqing's plan?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "If the Tang army is a three-way army to attack Luoyang, we can guard Heyang in the north of Luoyang, and use the danger of the Yellow River to resist the Hanoi army of the Tang army Li Shentong, so that he cannot cross the Yellow River, and then order Xu Shiji, who is stationed in Henan, to lead the Tunwei army out of Wuguan and go south to intercept Li Xiaogong's Sichuan and Shu army." After that, the main force of Li Tangguan's army marched eastward at least under Luoyang City. This is to block two roads, and put one way, set up a pocket in Luoyang, but the Tang army passed the army to drill. ”

Li Chongjiu said happily: "I have long intended to use the surrounding areas of Luoyang City as a preset battlefield to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu looked away from the map, looked at the three ministers, and said, "I have secretly ordered Ying He Fu a month ago, and Ying He Fu led 20,000 cavalry to the south and stationed in Liyang. ”

The three people in the hall nodded together, this is the first move arranged by Li Chongjiu in advance.

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, Ying Hefu led 20,000 horses to the south, what if the Turks make any changes at this time?" ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I have ordered Guo Xiaoke of the Songmo Metropolitan Protectorate to mobilize the people of the Songdesert Metropolitan Protectorate in half a month to conduct a drill near Wuhou Qinshui to deter the Turks." ”

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu paused and said: "As for a month later, when the spring flowers bloom, as long as Li Yuan sends troops, I will personally lead the soldiers of the two armies to the south from Youjing, and the Li Tang army will be in a while." This battle is related to the national fortunes of the two countries, who can seize the world, will be in this battle! ”

"No!" The three important ministers agreed with a stern expression.

At that moment, Ji Chuan and Zhang Xuansu retreated, and Lin Dangfeng was left alone in the palace to discuss military matters with Li Chongjiu.

Lin Dangfeng said: "Your Majesty has already received the news of Li Tang's attack, it has been nearly a month, why is Your Majesty still so calm and did not guard against Li Tang in advance." According to Weichen's opinion, at least send the government army of Youjing to Liyang first. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Youjing's Wuwei Army, Yi Weijun, the soldiers have been fighting for a year last year, and they are already very tired, and I intend to let the soldiers rest. So I can't bear to send troops to Luoyang so early. ”

Lin Dangfeng said: "Yes, among the six government armies of my Great Zhao, two new guards are newly established, and the battle is insufficient, and the Xiaowei and Tunwei are to be stationed in Henan, Taiyuan, the two key places, and they can't be separated. The two major government armies are also our most elite men. How His Majesty used these 30,000 horses was a matter of victory or defeat in the battle. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "I'll think about it." ”
