Li Jing's "Mirror of the Six Armies" may not be the best military book, but it is undoubtedly the closest to the art of war of this era. Many of the truths in this are not recorded in the previous military books, and it is Li Jing's experience in summarizing the experience of his predecessors and cooperating with his own understanding, which is very valuable and important, and also gave Luo Shixin a great inspiration.

Luo Shixin will write down every time there is a place that is incomprehensible and ambiguous, and people will send it to Lingnan.

Li Jing, who is in Lingnan, often answers the news as soon as he gets it. In the past, he just answered, but now as Luo Shixin's foundation becomes more and more solid, Li Jing will test him with some related questions.

As a result, the correspondence between the two was almost uninterrupted.

On this day, Luo Shixin looked at the question in Li Jing's letter, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly: In the past, Li Jing's question was fictional, but this time it is real: Assuming that Fu Gongyou rebels and makes trouble, how should soldiers be used?

Then there is a large paragraph written below about Fu Gongyou's potential strength, as well as a detailed comparison of strength in Jiangnan Datang.

When Luo Shixin saw this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Fu Gongyou, Fu Gongyou, your every move is under the supervision of the Medicine Master, and you still want to rebel, and you don't know how to die." He looked at the strength layout of Fu Gongyou, and found that Fu Gongyou's strength was mainly concentrated in Dangtu, Qinglin and Danyang, and it seemed that he planned to use the water and land armies to save the main road and use Danyang as horns.

When Tu and Qinglin are easy to defend and difficult to attack, Danyang is the nest of Fugongyou, and how to attack is the focus of this problem.

Luo Shixin opened the map and pondered carefully, thought about it and wrote down a few words: "Take stability as the top, first break the Tu and Qinglin." After taking Danyang. ”

Not long after he sent the letter, he suddenly received a holy oracle, and Li Yuan urgently summoned him to the Taiji Palace to discuss matters.

Roth's confidence sank. This kind of emergency summoning will only be activated when the war starts, and without any hesitation, he rode straight to the palace.

Along the way, he saw other generals like him, and they were also galloping on horseback. Apparently he received a message at the same time. He rode away on his horse, and after showing his token at the palace gate, he galloped directly into the palace. The war is like fire. In this case, the shogun had the power to ride horses in the palace.

Coming to the east hall of Taiji Palace, Luo Shixin strode into the main hall. His eyes collided with Pingyang. From the other party's eyes, Luo Shixin still felt the unconcealed affection, reminding him that she couldn't let go and couldn't forget.

Roth's faith is touched. This woman who made him fall in love at first sight. How can you say that you will forget? If he could forget, he wouldn't often dream of marrying her.

It's just that a dream is a dream after all, and her status as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty is so high. Datang did not set up a queen, which means that all women in Datang are respected by Pingyang.

If Luo Shixin marries Pingyang, it is impossible to marry someone else, and marrying Zheng Liwan also means giving up Pingyang. He and Zheng Liwan had a marriage contract first, and he could only grieve Pingyang. From a man's point of view. Being able to marry two people together is naturally the greatest beauty, but the reality is naked cruelty.

"If only there was a way to marry the two of them together!"

Luo Shixin thought to himself. When he came to his usual seat, his eyes swept over the hall. The crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qin Li Shimin stood on the left and right of the throne respectively, and there was no one on the throne. Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Dou Wei, Yang Gongren, Feng Deyi and other prime ministers are all in the palace, and their administrative offices are the closest to the palace, and they are naturally the fastest. The general of the Twelve Guards came a little half, if it weren't for the fact that the mansion of the Right Xiaowei was far away from the imperial city, he didn't say that the first one arrived with his bare feet, but the second one would have no problem.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn, and no one spoke in the hall.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a eunuch with a dust whisk came to the right side in front of the main hall, and shouted to the hall: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Li Yuan was actually waiting in the side hall for a long time, the military situation was urgent, how could he waste time, just as an emperor waiting for the courtiers to lose his identity, he also waited in the side hall with his ears covered, saying that it was the civil and military who waited for him, not him and the civil and military. When he walked to the throne, his eyes swept under the hall, and when he saw Luo Shixin, his eyebrows couldn't help but pick, a little dazzling: since Luo Shixin's refusal to marry made Pingyang sad, he didn't like Luo Shixin's eyes, and wanted to put on small shoes for him, but because of Pingyang's agreement, he couldn't hold back his toothache and eyes. However, he also saw that Pingyang was completely trapped, and with Pingyang's character, the nine cows could not be pulled back. Every time I think of this, my skull begins to ache again.

But thinking of business, he hurriedly put these little things aside and sat on the throne.

"See (Father) Majesty!"

Because it was an emergency meeting, there was no excessive courtesy, but after seeing a regular ceremony, Li Yuan got down to business.

"Just now, there was news from the Ministry of War, and the northern emergency reported that Gao Kaidao, a rebellious minister and thief, colluded with the Xi people, led 30,000 Xi soldiers and horses south, invaded our Youzhou, and burned, killed, and looted, and the situation was extremely critical. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Li Yuan held a piece of music in his hand and threw it heavily on the table in front of him, as if to vent the indignation in his heart.

Luo Shixin was furious when he heard this, and he remembered the tragic situation on the way when he came back from Goguryeo and passed through Gokaido, and he was about to speak.

But when he heard a shock in his ears, Li Yi rushed out angrily like a reckless man, and shouted indignantly: "Your Majesty, the people of Youzhou have been invaded by the Xi people, and the local people have fallen into a miserable situation. Li Yi implored His Majesty to appoint Li Yi as the vanguard, and Li Yi desperately wanted to dare the Xi people out of Youzhou to protect the stability of the people of Youzhou. His voice was deafening, and he was slightly choked up when he spoke, as if he were crying.

Li Yi's excited attitude startled Li Yuan, and after thinking about it, Youzhou was Li Yi's original base camp, and now that Youzhou is in trouble, it is reasonable for him to have such an expression, and he said with relief: "General, rest assured, Youzhou is the territory of my Tang Dynasty, and I will never sit idly by." As for sending troops, as a general, how can he be condescended to the vanguard. ”

"Father!"

Before Li Yuan could say anything, Li Shimin suddenly followed angrily and said: "Gao Kaidao and the Xi clan bullied me too much in the Tang Dynasty, and Erchen is willing to lead the troops to fight and destroy the invading enemy." ”

Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to interrupt the speech, and he was not dissatisfied, but just smiled: "Killing chickens with a knife, the Xi clan invades, and Erlang is needed there." I have a thousand Tang generals, and I can send one at will to deal with it. ”

Although Li Shimin did not show any ambition, and Li Yuan did not doubt his eloquent son, he also knew that Li Shimin's merits had reached the point of no reward, and it was not that kind of crisis moment, so there was no need to send him to fight.

Li Shimin retreated quite annoyed, looking very unwilling.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Li Yi's eyes, and Li Jiancheng's eyelids also jumped. If it weren't for Li Shimin's interruption, Li Yuan might have followed Li Yi's words and handed over the task of this expedition to Li Yi. Li Yi is a member of the princelings, and Li Yi's great contributions are naturally equivalent to the prince's contributions.

Li Yuan looked at His Royal Highness and said: "The battle situation is urgent, and it is necessary to choose a general to go on the expedition, what do you think?" ”

Li Yi wanted to recommend himself, but thinking that he had recommended himself as a pioneer general in order to impress Li Yuan, and now he had recommended himself as the commander of the three armies, wouldn't he slap himself in the face?

I was really remorseful in my heart, and I returned to my seat unwillingly: when I entered the palace, Li Jiancheng had secretly sent someone to inform him of the start of the Youzhou war and told him about the invasion of the Xi people. Li Yi is narrow-minded, but he is a figure who is good at seizing opportunities to create opportunities. He understood what Li Jiancheng meant, this was for him to fight for the coach this time, rescue Youzhou, and earn military merits. It was because he had made full preparations in advance and moved his affection to Li Yuan, so as to obtain the position of commander.

Outcome...... A good plan was ruined by Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng stood up quietly and said, "Erchen thinks that Li Yi, the king of Yanjun, is the most suitable candidate. ”

Li Yuan asked curiously, "How do you say this?" ”

"The military is nothing more than the right time and place, General Li has been sitting in Youzhou for many years, his prestige is extremely high, he is brave and good at fighting, and he is powerful in the grassland, if the Xi people know that he is the commander, they will be jealous, and the momentum will be a little weaker, and they will occupy the people. Because General Li has been sitting in Youzhou for many years, he is very familiar with the grass and trees in Youzhou, and he has a favorable location. Compared with others, General Li has two major advantages, and Erchen feels that he is the most suitable candidate. Li Jiancheng was analyzing the Tao.

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this, and asked Li Yidao: "King Yanjun, if I appoint you as the commander, can I have the confidence to repel the enemy from the north?" ”

Li Yi was overjoyed, and went out of the class and said: "The last general is willing to use the head on his neck as a guarantee, not to break the Xi clan, and to see him." ”

Li Yuan was greatly satisfied, and was about to issue an appointment, but he heard a nasty voice from the hall: "Your Majesty, the last general has something to say." ”

Li Yuan looked at Luo Shixin who came out rashly with dissatisfaction, and said in an unkind tone: "What do you have to say......" He didn't finish speaking, but saw that a person below was glaring at him angrily, coughed hurriedly, and said in a gentle tone: "Doesn't the general have other opinions?" ”

Luo Shixin said: "The last general knows that saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, and you can't be careless. But don't be hasty......"

Li Yi's face turned red when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Why is it hasty, can't Li be the commander?" ”

Luo Shixin shook his head and said: "The general is angry, I'm not doubting your ability, I just think that the general didn't see the key point clearly." Gao Kaidao, as a Turkic dog, why did he attract the Xi people to attack this time instead of the Turks? Logically speaking, the Turks are much stronger than the Xi people. He waved at Li Yuanyi and said, "So the last general thinks that Gao Kaidao is reluctant to join the Xi people because he can't invite the Turks." The Turks should not approve or even know about it. In that case, why don't we take the opportunity to annihilate Gao Kaidao in one fell swoop? The key to this battle should be how to defeat the Xi and Gao Kaidao's troops, and then enter Yuyang in one fell swoop, exterminate Gao Kaidao before the Turks react, and recover the northern gateway, rather than simply driving the Xi out of Youzhou. ”

"The general's analysis makes sense, father, if the son commands this battle, the first thing to do is to take Yuyang, the reason why the Turks can come and go freely in my Tang Dynasty is because they control my Tang Portal. Now the opportunity is rare, Yuyang does not take it, let alone when. Erchen elected General Luo as the commander of this battle! Li Shimin strode out and said loudly. (To be continued......)
