Li Chongjiu finished replying, and at this time, Yu Shinan, Zhang Xuansu, and Xue Wanshu came to meet together.

The three of them sat down, and Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty has been marching south to Luoyang for half a year, and now the soldiers are homesick, and they have the intention of returning to the north. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I also want to return to Youjing, but the matter of Luoyang is still aside, and I am not at ease." I am worried that if I return to Youjing in the north, this front foot has just left, and Li Yuan's back foot will go out of the customs again, first destroy Xiao Milling, and then attack Luoyang, when Henan will shake, and the result will be in vain. ”

Xue Wan said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is guarded by Weichen and General Shan, and it is not easy for Li Yuan to take it." But Youjing is the capital, and His Majesty has been absent from his position for a long time, so I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable. Although Wang Zaifu acted steadily, Chen Zaifu was sick and always made people with ulterior motives watch and star. ”

Li Chongjiu's eyes sharpened, although he was far away in Luoyang, he also knew that the Hebei Shi clan did not stop, after killing Lu Ziqian last time, the Hebei Shi clan had only settled down a little, and now there were people secretly stirring up the wind and rain. This is not to oppose Li Chongjiu, or to overthrow Da Zhao, but to take advantage of Li Chongjiu's absence in Youjing to do some profitable things.

Li Chongjiu said lightly: "I know." The matter of returning to Youjing, I will do my best to make sure. ”

"Your Majesty, after Yanzhou is pacified, the next step is to take Shandong? Or Xiajianghuai? Yu Shinan asked Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu asked rhetorically: "What do you think comes first?" ”

Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty, Yanzhou has been captured, and Shandong is like a turtle in an urn." It's just a catch. However, Li Tang Bianzhou governor Wang Yaohan, still according to Kaifeng. Kaifeng is an important town on the Tongji Canal, if the Tongji Canal is opened. The Yellow River and the Yangtze River can be connected as a piece, and the river will be unimpeded. ”

Xue Wanshu stood up and said: "Both have their advantages, but Shandong and Jianghuai can't take care of both. What's more, at present, the imperial court has a tacit understanding with Du Fuwei, and now if it infiltrates Jianghuai, it will be to start a war with this Jianghuai rival in advance. ”

"So is Majesty going to Shandong first and then Jianghuai?" Yu Shinan asked.

Li Chongjiu glanced at it and said, "Xue Aiqing is right, first it is easy and then it is difficult, I can't hit people with two fists." Shandong has Qi Gongshun and Zang Junxiang. Chun is difficult to stand on three legs, and Jianghuai has only one Du Fuwei, our army has already won Yanzhou, and we should first seek to level Shandong. ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "His Majesty Xià Qi Gongshun, Zang Junxiang, Chun is difficult, and Wang Bo, Meng Haigong, and Xu Yuanlang are different. Wang, Meng, and Xu had ghosts in their hearts, and they fought for each other, so they broke through each of our army. But Qi Gongshun. Zang Junxiang and Chun Yunan have all taken refuge in Li Tang, if our army advances eastward. These three people are bound to fight with our army in a group. ”

Dongyang City, Beihai County.

In the lobby of the county hall, a man in his thirties. Holding a historical record in his hand, he watched it with relish. The man dipped his hand in spittle and turned the page.

"Chang Shi Gong. At this time, you are still in the mood to read the book. ”

The thirty-year-old man raised his head and looked at the big man beside him, and said with a smile: "Just seeing the wonderful, you see how good it is said in the Taishi Gongshu, Gaozu calms the world, weijia the four seas, and sings the wind." ”

The big man smiled bitterly and said: "Gaozu, what does it have to do with us now, Xu Yuanlang is finished, Yanzhou has been captured, and Li Chongjiu will close the door in the next step and enter Shandong in the east, I, you, and Lao Zang, will be finished." ”

The big man who spoke was Qi Gongshun, and when he raised troops from Shandong, he was also a leader on a par with Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong, and Wang Bo. As for the scribe beside him, it was Changshi Liu Lan. Liu Lan was originally a scholar in Beihai County, and he had repeatedly defeated Qi Gongshun, and then Liu Lan was squeezed out by his colleagues and voted for Qi Gongshun.

After Qi Gong Shun got Liu Lan, he obeyed him, and from then on, the situation was out of control in Shandong. Qi Gongshun not only captured Beihai County, but also defeated the 50,000 army of Haizhou County Hero Zang Junxiang with fewer victories. Later, Liu Lan saw that Li Yuan had captured Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor, so she persuaded Qi Gongshun to take refuge in Li Tang. Li Yuan is very important to Qi and Liu, it can be said that without Liu Lan, there would be no Qi Gongshun today.

Liu Lan heard Qi Gongshun say: "Ming Gong, how come I don't know about this matter. Among the princes of Shandong, Wang Bo repeatedly served as the master, and it can be seen that he is a snake and mouse at both ends, and he acts in a profitable manner, this person is most afraid of death, Li Chongjiu intimidated him, and he surrendered. Although Meng Haigong is a good person, he is undecisive, and even Fan Yuan and others can restrain him, which shows that he is incompetent, and surrender is a matter of time. And Xu Yuanlang is strong and strong, and he has been operating in Yanzhou for many years, and he has the strength to fight, but this person is arrogant and unwilling to live under others, and he wants to steal and play tricks in front of Li Yuan and Li Chongjiu, this is not asking for hardship, and both sides are not pleased, so I am not surprised that Xu Yuanlang was killed by Li Chongjiu or Li Yuan. ”

But listening to Liu Lan's eloquent story, the successes and failures of Wang Bo, Meng Haigong, and Xu Yuanlang were all revealed, which made Qi Gongshun admirable.

Qi Gongshun showed a look of admiration at the moment and said: "My good military advisor, my good Zhuge , then do you think we have the strength to fight with Zhao State?" ”

Liu Lan put down the historical records in her hand and laughed: "Is Ming Gong joking?" Li Chongjiu swept the Khitan in the north, Goguryeo in the east, pressed Li Yuan in the west, and broke Wang Shichong in the south. ”

Qi Gongshun changed color after being ridiculed by Liu Lan: "How is that good?" Since I have listened to your persuasion to vote for Li Tang, I knew that it would be better to vote for Li Chongjiu. ”

Liu Lan said with a smile: "Ming Gong is not surprised, I haven't finished speaking, with our army, it is difficult to compete with the tiger and wolf army of Zhao State, but if we unite with Zang Junxiang and make it difficult for the two of them, things can still be done." ”

Qi Gongshun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "You scared me, but if you want to join forces to fight against Zhao, I think these two people may not be willing to help me sincerely." ”

Liu Lan said: "It's hard to do, Zhao Jun seized him Dengzhou, and the two sides have already formed a bond, if he wants to help our army break Zhao, he will agree." ”

Qi Gongshun still said with a bitter face: "But it's not easy to do it alone, Zang Junxiang, don't forget that he has an enmity with you." ”

Qi Gongshun refers to the last time Zang Junxiang led an army of 50,000 to attack Beihai County, the momentum was huge, Liu Lan offered advice to Qi Gongshun, Zang Junxiang came from afar, he must not be prepared, please double the way to attack his camp. Qi Gongshun listened to Liu Lan's strategy, led 5,000 elite soldiers, secretly advanced, and when he approached Zang's army for dozens of miles, he suddenly attacked Zang Junxiang at night.

Liu Lan said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, this truth is Zang Junxiang, he won't not understand." What's more, the Duke of Ming can ask the Tang lord for instructions and let him grant one person the power to control Shandong. ”

Qi Gongshun stroked his palm and smiled: "Yes, how did I forget, I can order His Majesty to come forward, so that I have the right to mobilize Zang Junxiang's people and horses to protect Beihai County." ”

Liu Lan smiled and shook her head and said, "What I mean, don't you want Your Majesty to give the power to Ming Gong, or to Zang Junxiang?" ”

"What?" Qi Gongshun listened with an incredulous expression. (To be continued......)
