Chapter 684: It's time to play a big deal

"Yes, turn reactive into proactive. The emperor took the initiative to attack Shandong. Chu Suiliang's face was calm, and he said: "As soon as the emperor moves, the other party will definitely move, even if Li Yuan and many warlords in Shandong have collusion, but in the face of His Majesty's attack, Li Yuan will definitely not let His Majesty capture Shandong alone, he will definitely make a move, so that the opponent's alliance will not be broken." ”

"Yes." Li Xin nodded and said: "Li Yuan is the most hypocritical, the most sweet-mouthed sword, the most forgetful of profit, if he sees me make a move, he must be afraid that I have captured Shandong, so he will definitely attack Meng Haigong and others."

"Second, the emperor is sitting in Bianzhou, and it looks too peaceful, but the other party is attacking from three sides, and it is very difficult for the emperor to resist, but only fighting in the movement, he can not only find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, but also protect Bianzhou." Chu Suiliang gave a second reason.

"Yes, then Xu Shiji is afraid that he can't wait to come and arrest me immediately." Li Xin said with a smile. Who wants to deal with himself the most behind this, Li Xin knows it clearly, he slept with the other party's wife, and now that he appears in front of him, he doesn't want to deal with himself yet, and he can only kill himself unless he breaks through Chang'an City in the future.

"In this case, the people who guard Bianzhou should also choose carefully, Bianzhou is not only the emperor's back road, but more importantly, this place is to ensure the emperor's grain and grass supply." Chu Suiliang said seriously.

"Well, this is natural, this matter has to be seriously considered for the time being, if it is just Xu Shiji and the warlords of Shandong, I don't have to be afraid, if Li Yuan makes a move, then I will have to make a move." Li Xin nodded and said, "Transfer Wang Xiongdan to guard Wu County, Chen Ling to guard Jiangning, and Qin Qiong to supervise Jiangnan soldiers and horses." Guarding the grain and grass. Li Xin thought about it and wrote another handwritten letter to Chu Suiliang.

"Send this letter to Qin Qiong." Li Xin admonished.

"Obey." Chu Sui's conscience was curious. Hurriedly retreated.

"Every time I think about it, it's actually playing Dafa this time." Li Xin also felt at this time that the current situation seemed to be out of his control, he originally just wanted to seize Xingyang, but now he even pulled Li Yuan and them over, but will Li Yuan do it? Li Xin didn't know.

And at this moment, in the capital of Xindu, Li Zhao's palace is not particularly large, simply here, Yang Guang also built a palace here, and now Li Zhao's palace is built on the original basis. The layout is the same as Taiyuan.

Inside the Imperial Study. Li Yuan's face was not good, after coming to Xindu, he began to change his appearance, no matter what, Li Yuan knew in his heart that he was rushed to Xindu by Li Xin. In addition, the situation in Hebei is far more complicated than that in Bingzhou, so he not only has to recruit troops, but also needs to appease the hearts of the people of Hebei. But right now, he was confused by the news in front of him and didn't know what to do.

In front of him. The crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Dugu Huaien, Wang Qi, and the Qinghe Cui family, the Boling Cui family, the Bohai Gao family, etc., all gathered together, and what was in front of them was not only the letter from Li Shimin, but also the news brought by Xu Shiji.

"Li Xin is a thief in Bianzhou now. Tell me, what is he trying to do? Ready to attack Shandong? Or is it really inspecting Bianzhou and preparing to move the capital, or maybe you just want to go south to the south of the Yangtze River? Li Yuan said with a cold snort.

"Father. Erchen thought that Li Xin must have attacked Shandong. Father, according to what Xu Shiji said, even if it is not. We also want to attack Bianzhou, Li Xin is only tens of thousands of horses around him, we will have an army of 60,000 with Xingyang, and the imperial court only needs to send tens of thousands of horses, so we can attack Bianzhou and trap Li Xin to death in Bianzhou. "The first person to speak was not Li Jiancheng, but Li Yuanji.

"The King of Qin suggested that we not attack Li Xin, but Shandong, you can talk about it." Li Yuan nodded, he was very hesitant to attack Li Xin or Shandong, there are many benefits of the two, attacking Shandong, you can completely capture Shandong, although Shandong is broken, but there are still many families there, it is still very easy to recover your strength. But in doing so, a good opportunity is abandoned. Li Xin is his great enemy.

"Although King Qin's move is feasible, but General Xu Shiji has already acted, and he has already lobbied those separatist forces in Shandong, if Your Majesty makes a move against Shandong, I am afraid that the people of the world will laugh." Pei Lin hesitated for a while and said.

"If Shandong falls into the hands of us and others, we will be able to share the world equally with Li Xin." Li Jiancheng hesitated for a while, but still supported Li Shimin's suggestion, he thought about it and said: "However, those warlords in Shandong are probably not so easy to deceive, if our dynasty does not send troops, they may not send troops, the meaning of the child, let the fourth brother lead an army of 30,000, cross the Yellow River, unite Xu Shiji and the warlords of Shandong to make a move against Bianzhou, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong and other clan generals lead 100,000 troops to attack Shandong." ”

After Li Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up, Li Jiancheng's suggestion was undoubtedly the best of both worlds, not only could he solve Li Xin, but also allow himself to seize Shandong, Li Yuan's heart moved, and he thought of choosing such a method.

"It's easy to capture Shandong, but it's very difficult to appease Shandong, it's naturally good for the emperor to let the clan lead the army, whether it's Li Shentong or Li Xiaogong and others, they are rare famous generals, but it's very convenient to capture, the Shandong scholars have been looking forward to the arrival of Da Zhao for a long time, and the ministers think that either the emperor will conquer Shandong in person, or the prince will go." Pei Lin said.

"The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, how can he go out on the expedition easily, the emperor, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do, and the old minister recommends His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to conquer the land of Shandong." Uncle Cui said loudly.

"The prince is on an expedition?" Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng, saw that Li Jiancheng's face was graceful, young and strong, and looked at his dry hands, a trace of jealousy involuntarily surged in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "The prince is on the expedition, the general of Jingzhong is at the choice of the prince, and even the general of the Qin Wangfu can be transferred." On this expedition, the crown prince was the marshal and commanded the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhao. ”

"Son's command." Li Jiancheng was excited in his heart, and hurriedly said.

He can finally lead the army, poor a prince, get rid of the army when he went south and captured Chang'an, he led tens of thousands of troops, and at other times, he was sitting in Beijing, although he was high, but there was no army in his hands, and there was not much strength in the army, so he was tied, and later cultivated Li Yuanji, I thought that Li Yuanji would help, but now it seems that Li Yuanji also has a lot of yang and yin to himself, and I am afraid that he also wants to seize the position of the prince.

Li Jiancheng finally knew that if he wanted to seize the throne, he couldn't rely on any brothers, he could only rely on himself, and he could only rely on his own strength to keep his position as the crown prince and finally seize the world.

Li Yuanji saw the expressions of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng in his eyes, and felt jealous in his heart, thinking that this time he went south to conquer Li Xin, the generalissimo should be himself, so that he could master more military power, and even transfer troops from Taiyuan, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan not only did not let himself preside over the overall situation, but made Li Jiancheng a marshal.

With Li Jiancheng on it, Mo said how many troops he could control, and I am afraid that even the generals transferred from Taiyuan would not listen to him. Li Jiancheng no matter what, he is also the crown prince, the nominal heir of the empire, and many children of the family have gathered around him, and most of the civil and military officials in the court like Li Jiancheng's humble and gentlemanly appearance.

"Hmph, in the troubled times, can this kind of humble gentleman defeat Li Xin?" Li Yuanji felt disdain for a while, but he didn't dare to say it, to be honest, Li Jiancheng was good to him, but in front of the emperor's throne, all family affection was a floating cloud. Li Yuan in front of him didn't have this in mind about his three sons.

"Yuanji, this time you led 30,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, remember, if you can't fight, don't fight. Li Xin is treacherous, everything is to be careful. At a critical time, you can hand over the military power to Xu Shiji, his ability is stronger than yours, even if you can't deal with Li Xin, you can still protect our tens of thousands of troops. Li Yuanji's voice woke Li Yuanji up, but what he said made Li Yuanji very unhappy.

"The retainers obey." Li Yuanji didn't dare to object in his heart, and hurriedly responded in a low voice.

"Prince, this expedition, remember, the main thing is to appease, supplemented by extermination. There are many families in Shandong, among these families, but they are headed by Cui, Zheng, and Gao, and now the heads of the three families are in the court, I believe that the army you lead will definitely be invincible and invincible. Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and said.

"Erchen understands." Li Jiancheng nodded.

He knew that his main mission this time was not to seize the land of Shandong, in fact, the land of Shandong was very easy to capture, these Shandong families were all headed by Cui and Zheng, since the Cui family and the Zheng family had already returned to Li Zhao, so did these families, Li Jiancheng went here to appease these families.

Li Yuan also understood this truth, so after thinking about it, he still handed over this relatively simple task to Li Jiancheng, after all, Li Yuan knew that he was old, and it was time to think about Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng is still very relieved in governing the country, but his seniority in the army is a little lower, unlike Li Shimin, who has been in the army all the year round and has a very high prestige. Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to lead the army this time, to put it bluntly, it was to brush up on Li Jiancheng's military merits.

"Xuan Zhen, His Royal Highness the Prince's grain and grass, you have to prepare. In addition, the grain to appease the counties and counties of Shandong should also be prepared in advance. Li Yuan looked at Pei Lin and said.

"Your Majesty, the people of Shandong are eager for Wang Shi to live for a long time! Once you know that the king is coming, it is not a matter of eating pot pulp to greet you, where do you need the court to prepare any grain and grass, and to compensate Shandong, these grain and grass ministers and a few others can make do with it. Cui Shuzhong and the others glanced at each other and said loudly.

"Okay, good, so good, with the help of all the secretaries, why should I be afraid of Li Xin'er." Li Yuan was very happy after hearing this, and he was now very glad to move the capital to Xindu, and only in this way did he get the support of the Shandong family. (To be continued......)
