Chapter 593: Righteousness
"Lord Cen, under Li Ren'an." Li Ren'an looked at Cen Wenwen, stepped forward and arched his hand, this is also Li Xin's confidant, otherwise, he would not have come to Hebei at this time to deal with such an important matter.
"Oh, it turned out to be Patriarch Li." Cen Wenwen suddenly showed a reserved smile on his face. Who is Li Ren'an, come up to greet him, why is this, he naturally understands, but he does not show excessive affection, whether Li Xin will contact the Li family of Zhao County in the future, no one knows now, after all, now it is not like before, if he got the Li family of Zhao County in the past, it would be very helpful to Li Xin's great cause, but now the Li family wants to tie Li Xin. However, Cen Wenwen didn't want to offend this person, and there was no difference in etiquette.
"Lord Cen." He Chou also bowed, in this, in the future, everyone may be in the same hall, but no one knows if they can reach the position of Cen Wenwen.
"Lord Ho." Cen Wenwen arched his hand towards everyone with a smile, and then said to everyone: "Xianghou has already entered the Juyi Hall, if we don't go, I'm afraid Xianghou will blame us." ”
"Oh, yes, yes, please." Ling Jing nodded, and greeted Cen Wenwen and the others with a smile to enter the Juyi Hall.
"Chengxianghou, please." Cen Wenwen arched his hand to Liu Heimin and others, the civil officials under the Dou red line cannot be offended, and the generals cannot be offended, especially Liu Heimin, who is known as the first person in the army, Cen Wenwen also showed respect.
"Lord Cen, please." Liu Heimin nodded, his originally cold and solemn face was a little more cheerful, at least, Cen Wenwen, a scholar, did not show a high-minded appearance, which made Liu Heimin feel a little more comfortable.
"Say it! Did the Tang King ask you to come here to ask us to surrender? Dou Hongxian sat on the chair, looked at Cen Wenwen and said, "Isn't it just for us to give him his life?" ”
"Princess." Ling Jing was about to speak, but was glared at by Liu Heimin on the other side, and suddenly showed a wry smile. No longer speaks, in the final analysis, the 300,000 army is still in the hands of Liu Heimin, Liu Heimin is also the person who takes care of Dou Hongxian on the order of Dou Jiande, in terms of closeness, Ling Jing is really inferior to Liu Heimin.
"General, this time the lower official shot a carrier pigeon on the way here." Cen Wenwen took out a note from his arms, handed it to Dou Hongxian, and said, "It's about the Turks, although there are a lot of brocade guards in Hebei. But in this Taihang Mountain, of course, the overlord is the general, I don't know if the general knows, what strange actions the Turks have been doing recently. ”
"Turks!" Dou Hongxian's face changed suddenly when she heard this, she hated Li Zhao, but she hated the Turks even more, as soon as she heard the news that Cen Wenwen said that there were Turks, she took it without thinking about it.
"The Turks have already moved?" Dou Hongxian said in a low voice.
"Yesterday the Turks were already moving, a whole hundred thousand people. From Tokoyama. Liu Heimin hurriedly said: "Although the momentum is grand, it is not attacking us, so I don't care." ”
"100,000? Dare to ask the general, where did these Turks go? Cen Wenwen was suddenly a little worried. One hundred thousand Turks, this is all the horses of the Turks going south, where are these people going to go? Go back to the grassland to the north, or go south to the Yellow River. Or is it to the west? Cen Wenwen suddenly felt a little bad.
"Killing the past in the direction of the party is violent." Liu Heimin said casually.
"Going to the party?" Cen Wenwen's face changed, and his brows furrowed. said: "I'm afraid it's a little bad now." ”
"What? Wouldn't it be nice for these Turks to go wreaking havoc and annex states? Dou Hongxian said with some dissatisfaction. For her, whether it is a Turkic or Li Shimin, it is not a good thing, and two dogs fighting each other is the best.
"I'm afraid that these Turks didn't go to Shangdang to trouble Li Zhao, but went to Hedong and made trouble with Hedong." Cen Wenwen sighed: "It must be so, Li Yuan is so calculating!" Kill two birds with one stone. ”
"Mr. Cen, are you saying that the Turks have gone to attack Hedong? Or cross the Taihang Mountain and attack the Jiancheng of Hedong? Liu Heimin said with some disbelief: "Hedong is still a little far from Hebei, and the Turks are not stupid, why do they attack Hedong Jiancheng, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties!" ”
"What if the people of Pingthorn were killed by the Jinyi Guard, and all the gold and silver treasures of Pingthorn fell into the hands of our Guanzhong?" Cen Wenwen glanced at Dou Hongxian dissatisfied, and said, "As long as Li Yuan tells the Turks this news, the Turks will come to the door, attack Hedong, and regain their gold and silver treasures." ”
"Why is Li Yuan like this? I know that the thing of leveling thorns was done by Xu Shiji and Li Yuan. Dou Hongxian asked with some disbelieving. She thinks that Cen Wenwen said it at this time just to wait for the next to appease herself and let herself stand at a disadvantage.
"Because he no longer needs the 100,000 Turkic army, he wants to get rid of the 100,000 Turkic army. If you make your own move, it will be too much of a loss, if you let these Turks and us fight each other, in the end it will definitely be a defeat for both sides, and even in the end it will be cheaper for Li Yuan himself, the army of the Bird Mouse Valley will go out, pick up a cheap one behind the back, eliminate the Turks, and still occupy Hedong, why not Li Yuan. Cen Wenwen smiled bitterly: "Li Yuan, this guy is really sinister, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to shoot a carrier pigeon that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't know this." ”
"Why?" Dou Hongxian still questioned, on the battlefield, Dou Hongxian may be very powerful, but in terms of intrigue and intrigue, he was born to be a battlefield for scholars.
"The method of siege, and the strength of the Turks." Ling Jing said: "After nearly a year of fighting, the Turks have become familiar with how to make siege equipment and how to attack the city, Li Yuan can't let these things leave the Central Plains, otherwise it will be Li Yuan who will be unlucky in the future; Second, the strength of the Turks is too great, and Li Yuan wants to take this opportunity to destroy 100,000 Turks and weaken the Turks. ”
"There is also the need to let the Turks and the prime minister fight to the end." Li Shousu said: "You must know that these 100,000 people died in battle, and the Turks will count the battle on the prime minister's head, and will not go to Li Yuan's own trouble." Three birds with one stone, this is Li Yuan's plan. Lord Cen, what I said below is correct. Li Shousu wants to show his worth, so that after returning to Guanzhong, Li Xin's court can have his own foothold.
"Not bad." Cen Wenwen nodded, agreed, and said: "There are now 50,000 troops in Hedong, and these 100,000 people can attack our Hedong City, and in the end, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation." As he spoke, he took a look at Dou Hongxian, some of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court marched south, some eliminated Wang Shichong, and the remaining small part of the town guarded the pass, and there were not many soldiers and horses to resist Hedong at all. The only hope is to let Dou Hongxian make a move, among the 300,000 horses of Dou Hongxian, there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 elites, and it is okay to calculate that there are only 40,000 or 50,000 elites, which is enough to bury the Turks under Hedong City.
"Your Excellency wants us to send troops?" Liu Heimin glanced at Cen Wenwen and said.
"Yes, there are not many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, and part of the prime minister wants to subdue Jiangnan and deal with Li Zitong and Shen Faxing, and the prime minister himself and the general led more than 100,000 people to attack Wang Shichong in Henan." Cen Wenwen nodded and said: "The rest of the soldiers and horses are all sitting in Guanzhong, after all, it will be spring ploughing soon, and the imperial court can't use too many men and horses, so the text rashly asked Xianghou to make a move." ”
"This matter is very important, and I have to discuss it with the generals." Dou Hongxian thought for a while, and said to the people around him, "Take Lord Cen down to rest." ”
"In that case, the lower official will leave for the time being." Cen Wenwen knew that tens of thousands of troops were dispatched to participate in the war between Li Xin and the Turks, which was a big deal, and Dou Hongxian naturally wanted to discuss it, so he consciously stood up and withdrew from the hall with the two maids.
"What do you think about this?" After Dou Hongxian waited for Cen Wenwen to leave, he said: "Cen Wenwen has two things here, the first is to surrender us, and the second thing is probably a temporary decision, that is, he wants us to join the battle in Hedong and defeat the Turks. ”
"The Turks themselves are the enemies of the Hebei people, not to mention that this incident was also provoked by us, and our subordinates thought that they should send troops." Liu Heimin said loudly. The Turks crisscrossed Hebei, and I don't know how many Hebei people were killed, including Liu Heimin's comrades-in-arms.
"It is possible to send troops, but it is just that it is returned to Guanzhong, and the subordinates think that they still need to consider it." Fan Yuan hesitated for a while and said: "Li Xin inherited the country of the former Sui, His Majesty the Emperor was anti-Sui, so many of us have joined, what if Li Xin settles accounts after the autumn?" ”
"Isn't Xiao Mo also alive and well?" Li Shousu couldn't help but say: "What kind of person is the prime minister, how could he do such a thing, doesn't that make the world laugh?" ”
"Don't forget Li Mi, how did Li Mi die?" Fan Yuan said disdainfully. In fact, he is not unwilling to submit to Li Xin, but compared to Dou Hongxian, Li Xin occupies a strong position, after joining Li Xin's army in the future, how does Li Xin settle everyone, this is important, is the general who loses military power still a general?
"No matter what the reason, whether it is to join Li Xin, or to be righteous, don't forget that those Hebei people died at the hands of Li Shimin and the Turks, just for this point, we must also leave these 100,000 Turks in Hedong, and we can't let them return to the grassland, otherwise the next time the Turks go deep into the Central Plains, the bad luck will not only be the people of Hebei, but also the people of Bingzhou, and the people of the whole world, so this time we must send troops, not only for us, but also for the Han people all over the world." Dou Hongxian stopped everyone, whether he would join Li Xin's command, Dou Hongxian had not yet decided, but she had already made a decision to attack the Turks. (To be continued......)
