Chapter 196: Self-defeating?

Luo Shixin whispered to Pingyang, thinking of Li Jing's letter that day, in which he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and the enemy, and analyzed in detail what would happen if Fu Gongqi rebelled. In Li Jing's thoughts, he thought that Fu Gongqi really rebelled, and he would not compete with the Tang Dynasty for the power of the world, but occupied the land and became the king. Take advantage of the Jianghuai natural insurance, take advantage of the unique living conditions in the south of the Yangtze River, and live in a corner.

Li Jing was in Jiangnan, he knew the situation in Jiangnan well, and he also noticed the wolf ambition of Fu Gong Yi, and found that when Fu Gong Yi was in charge of Jianghuai government affairs, he attached great importance to the stone cities of Danyang, Dangtu, and Qinglin, and in addition to developing wholeheartedly, he also consolidated the city defense and hoarded grain and grass nearby.

Ordinary people can't perceive the reason, Li Jing, as the most outstanding military commander of the contemporary era, has no one to compare with his military skills, and he can see that he is a little tired. This development of Danyang also said that in the past, Danyang is located in the Yangtze River Delta, known as Qu'a in ancient times, the rivers in the territory are criss-crossed, the water and land transportation is convenient, although it is not as good as Yangzhou, but it can be regarded as an economically developed place. When Tu and Qinglin are unreasonable, when Tu and Qinglin have treacherous terrain, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is a place with an excellent strategic position but not suitable for economic development.

Fu Gongyi is good at governance, and if he does not have ulterior motives, there is no reason to be particularly concerned about Dangtu and Qinglin, which are not suitable for economic development. Because of this, Li Jing realized that Fu Gongyi had ulterior motives, but it was completely out of speculation and had no real evidence. Although there was a mistake, Li Yuan was afraid of Du Fuwei, the overlord of Jianghuai, and ignored Fu Gongyi, the number two person in Jianghuai, and also led the situation today.

Luo Shixin had great confidence in Li Jing's military capabilities, although he did not understand the situation in Jiangnan. But Li Jing felt that Fu Gong Yi would use the carefully controlled Dangtu, Qinglin, and Danyang as horns for each other, and there must be a reason for him. When Li Jing gave him this question, he thought carefully and felt that he should win step by step. First break the Tu, Qinglin and then approach Danyang. However, Fu Gongqi has 100,000 soldiers, and when Tu and Qinglin have been repaired for many years, it is not easy to conquer it for a while.

When Luo Shixin is bored, he will also think about the direction of history, and according to the course of history, in the face of the Turks, Li Yuan has been pretending to be his grandson until he abdicates. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the Turks took advantage of Li Jiancheng's downfall. Li Jiancheng's northern defense line had the opportunity to make a mistake, and he drove straight into the Weishui Bridge in one go. Li Shimin, who has always been tough on the outside world, also had to pretend to be his second grandson. However, he was better than his Lao Tzu, and soon after he came to power, he took back several portals of Shuofang and Mayi, and avoided the border crisis until the fourth year of Zhenguan. Break the court of the Turkic Khan in one fell swoop. Capture the Turkic Khan to Chang'an and dance for him.

Luo Shixin felt that since he had traveled to this world, how could he not follow the course of history, what was the difference between eating and waiting for death, and what was the point of having him without him? In history, Zhenguan destroyed the Turks in four years, so as long as the Turks were abolished in the third year of Zhenguan and the second year of Zhenguan, and promoted the process of history, it was the value of his existence.

This Fu Gong Qi's anti-Tang Dynasty ostensibly had nothing to do with the Turks. Not really. In terms of strength, Datang is not inferior to the Turks. But today's Datang is in ruins, and what is lacking is the economy of expeditions. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so good, and with the savings of Emperor Wenjing for many years, he also halved the population of the void in the sea by fighting the Xiongnu, which shows how great the consumption of the expedition was.

In his opinion, the current Datang should recuperate, develop the economy, and prepare for the fight against the Turks. Fu Gongyi's trouble, and to increase a lot of military investment to the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it delay the time to fight the Turks?

This kind of thing is never allowed, so Luo Shixin heard that Fu Gongyi rebelled, and Pei Qingyi coincidentally appeared in Dangtu, so he moved to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he saved Pei Qingyi, and on the other hand, he helped Datang to take down Dangtu from within, and ended the war as much as possible.

Pingyang is a little incredible, I don't know where she got her confidence, but she also feels that Luo Shixin thinks for Datang everywhere, and says sincerely: "I have a general in Datang, which is really a great blessing." ”

Luo Shixin wanted to say that it was Li Jing's work, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it. There are some things that can't be said or said, so I have to acquiesce to Pingyang's approval.

He suddenly turned around to look north, and three horsemen galloped in the distance.

It was the Pingyang doorman who escorted Hou Jie and Hou Mu to come later.

To Luo Shixin's surprise, Hou Jie was also one of the three horsemen, and he didn't go to Chang'an with him.

"Princess, General!"

Hou Jie came to the nearest place and saluted respectfully.

"Why didn't you go to Chang'an?" Binh Duong has the same thoughts.

Hou Jie said respectfully: "It was my mother who asked me to come, and her old man said that she had a princess to take special care of, and she was treated by a royal doctor when she arrived in Chang'an." I don't know how to do medicine, I'm clumsy, and I can't do anything if I stay with her. It's better to follow the princess and the general to deal with Situ Injury, and be able to make a contribution. I think it's right, the princess and the general don't know Situ and his subordinates, and even if they sit together, they may not know. This is too passive, my Hou Jie's martial arts skills are not high, and my foot is injured again, but it must be useful to me. ”

Luo Shixin said happily: "It's really good that you can come to help!" By the way, you don't know yet, Jianghuai Fu Gongqi rebelled, and one of their strongholds is in Dangtu. We're not just going to deal with Situ Injury, but also Fu Gongyi. It is more dangerous, and if you are willing to add it, it is best to be mentally prepared. ”

"This ......" Hou Jie hesitated slightly: "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that my mother will have no one to take care of after death." If the general is willing to pay someone to take care of my mother for the rest of her life, even if Tu is a sea of swords and fires, in order to repay the general's great kindness, I am willing to break through. ”

"Wrap it up on me!" Hou Jie put his mother first all the time, and Luo Shixin was greatly moved by this filial piety and responded without hesitation.

Hou Jie also had no scruples, and was ready to be generous.

Luo Shixin smiled dumbly and said: "Don't look like you're going to die, it's just a danger, not a certain death." And we go further is the Jianghuai region, which is already considered the enemy's territory, no better than in Nanyang. Don't call the princess general or something. His Royal Highness changed his mouth and called her Mrs. Li, who married into the north and went home to visit relatives, my name is Luo Cheng, and my identity is the commander of the guard, and the commander of Luo, Luo Guard, and Luo brothers are all called whatever they want, but they can't be called Luo Shixin. ”

At the beginning of Goguryeo, Luo Shixin dared to take Shixin as his name, but he did not dare in China. It's not that he is arrogant, now no matter the north and the south, there are very few people who don't know Luo Shixin. also gave himself a name casually, anyway, Luo Cheng in the novel was fictionalized based on the deeds of Luo Shixin in history.

"Got it! Commander Law! Hou Jie has been in the rivers and lakes for many years and has rich experience, so he changed his name in an instant.

More people attract attention, but it is not conducive to action.

When entering Jianghuai, Luo Shixin and Pingyang once again broke into pieces, scattered the doormen, and rushed to Dangtu to investigate information first, leaving only fifteen guards to go south together. Hou Jie did not follow the team, but separated from Luo Shixin and them at a distance of 20 meters, pretending to be fellow travelers, and observed whether there were any injured people in the rear.

This penetrated deep into the Jianghuai, and the atmosphere was obviously unusual.

It has been nearly four years since the Tang Dynasty unified the north and the south, and the people have made up their minds. Some plan to leave the land of right and wrong before the war comes, and some wait for fate to be judged with a sad expression of resignation. Outlaws, hooligans and ruffians take the opportunity to make trouble and do evil. A few careerists took advantage of the situation under the banner of righteousness, and even officers and soldiers searched for local government soldiers in the territory and forcibly increased the number of troops.

JAC turmoil!

"Damn!" Pingyang traveled all the way, and when he saw this situation, he was furious.

Luo Shixin also lamented the tragedy of the people, and thought of the sentence in Zhang Yanghao's "Tong Caring for the Ancients" "Xing, the people suffer, die, the people suffer", and read it out with emotion.

Pingyang's eyes flashed with brilliance when he heard this, and he couldn't see that Luo Shixin still had this feeling, so he glanced at him and saw that he was tall, thin and straight, although he was wearing samurai tights, he still showed a little bit of compassion and compassion for the literati temperament.

In Luo Shixin, Pingyang is about to arrive in Dangtu, rest in Xuejin Town. Wu Leopard, who arrived in Dangtu first, quietly turned back at night and passed the news from the front line to Pingyang and Luo Shixin.

"As the general said, the general Feng Huiliang led 30,000 sailors to garrison Dangtu, and Chen Zhengdao led 20,000 cavalry to garrison Qinglin. At the same time, it also crosses the Yangtze River with iron cables from Liangshan to block the waterway, and builds Jianyue City in a dangerous place, stretching for more than ten miles. ”

"While holding the middle reaches of the Yangtze River waterway, they are reinforcing the defense of the riverbank, obviously with the idea of not fighting and consuming each other!" Pingyang glanced at Luo Shixin with some admiration and said, "It's not bad as you expected." ”

Luo Shixin said: "In this way, when Tu can't cross the river here?" ”

"Can't get by!" Wu Bao shook his head and said, "There is a complete blockade, and no one is allowed to cross the river." ”

"Good!" Luo Shixin said with a smile: "Then tomorrow we will bypass Dangtu first and go to the riverside to find out." ”

Pingyang smiled knowingly: "Just to see what kind of formation they have laid out, I have an understanding, and I will return to Tu after rushing back." ”

The next day, Luo Shixin and Pingyang bypassed Dangtu and rushed to Dangtu Port.

Sure enough, there were already soldiers guarding the port, and in the face of Luo Shixin and his party, ten soldiers held bright blades and blocked in front of Luo Shixin.

"What are you doing, go back and go back, this road doesn't work, this road doesn't work." A school officer strode up.

Luo Shixin greeted him with a smile, "Hello military master!" A small greeting gift, not a respect, not a respect. My wife went back to her hometown to visit relatives, and I don't know if the military master can be accommodating. Many people are not surprised by this "gift", as soon as he saw Luo Shixin, he stuffed Tongbao into the school official who walked in the front.

Yang Jie has been a junior colonel all his life, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation, the windfall that fell from the sky almost knocked him unconscious, and he quietly collected Tongbao, looking at Luo Shixin, there were only three words in his eyes, "wronged".

"Ahem!" He coughed, looked at Luo Shixin and his party, and said in a low voice: "It's not impossible to be accommodating, but you need to take a big risk." (To be continued......)
